“ nǐ xiǎo zi zài nà dī gū xiē shén me ne ？ chǔ nà hǎo jiǔ le ， dào dǐ jìn bù jìn lái ？” lǐ chén fēng xié kào zài qiáng shàng ， yě le yǎn hán yì ， yǒu xiē bù nài fán de shuō dào 。
“你小子在那滴咕些什么呢？杵那好久了，到底进不进来？”李晨风斜靠在墙上，也了眼韩易，有些不耐烦的说道。
"Hey, what are you mumbling about? You've been standing there for a while now. Are you going to come in or not?" Li Chenfeng leaned against the wall and glanced at Han Yi with some impatience.
“ jìn lái ， jìn lái 。” zhèng zì yán zì yǔ de hán yì xià le yī tiào ， yǒu xiē yī yī bù shě dì jiāng yī méi chǔ wù jiè dì le guò qù 。
“进来，进来。”正自言自语的韩易吓了一跳，有些依依不舍地将一枚储物戒递了过去。
"Come on in," Han Yi, who was muttering to himself, jumped slightly when he heard this. Reluctantly, he handed over a storage ring.
“ liǎng qiān méi xià pǐn líng shí ， dōu zài lǐ miàn le 。” hán yì pǒ wèi ròu téng de shuō dào 。
“两千枚下品灵石，都在里面了。”韩易颇为肉疼的说道。
"Here are two thousand low-grade spirit stones; they're all inside." Han Yi said with a bit of reluctance.
“ xíng le ， gēn wǒ lái ba 。” jiàn guò qiān wàn gòng xiàn dù de lǐ chén fēng ， yǎn jiè dà kāi ， yǐ rán duì zhè xiē qiān bā bǎi diǎn gòng xiàn dù yǒu xiē kàn bù shàng le 。
“行了，跟我来吧。”见过千万贡献度的李晨风，眼界大开，已然对这些千八百点贡献度有些看不上了。
"Alright, follow me then." Li Chenfeng had seen millions of contribution points before and was no longer impressed by the few hundred points. However, even a mosquito is meat. He pursed his lips and put away the storage ring.
bù guò wén zi zài xiǎo yě shì ròu ， lǐ chén fēng piē le piě zuǐ ， jiāng chǔ wù jiè shōu qǐ 。
不过蚊子再小也是肉，李晨风撇了撇嘴，将储物戒收起。
He led Han Yi to the Master of Foundation Establishment in front.
yī lù dài zhe hán yì lái dào le 【 zhù jī dà shī 】 miàn qián 。
一路带着韩易来到了【筑基大师】面前。
Seeing the Master of Foundation Establishment with his air of a Taoist sage giving a lecture, Han Yi's face lit up with excitement.
kàn jiàn xiān fēng dào gǔ 、 zhèng zài shòu kè de zhù jī dà shī ， hán yì mǎn liǎn xīng fèn 。
看见仙风道骨、正在授课的筑基大师，韩易满脸兴奋。
He carefully found a place to sit without disturbing him and listened intently to the master’s teachings. Although he didn't quite understand everything, he was very serious, not missing a single word or phrase.
bù gǎn dǎ rǎo ， xiǎo xīn yì yì dì zhǎo le dì fāng zuò xià ， zǐ xì qīng tīng zhe dà shī de jiào huì 。
不敢打扰，小心翼翼地找了地方坐下，仔细倾听着大师的教诲。
After a long discourse, like other students, Han Yi closed his eyes and began to try establishing his foundation.
suī rán tīng dé yǒu xiē yún lǐ wù lǐ ， dàn yě shì jí wéi rèn zhēn 、 měi zì měi jù dōu bù gǎn cuò guò 。
虽然听得有些云里雾里，但也是极为认真、每字每句都不敢错过。
The people on the island naturally had no idea that as soon as Han Yi stepped onto the island, a gaze passed through half of Cunyun Sea and landed on him.
yī fān cháng piān dà lùn zhī hòu ， hán yì hé qí tā xué yuán yī yàng ， bì zhuó yǎn kāi shǐ cháng shì zhù jī qǐ lái 。
一番长篇大论之后，韩易和其他学员一样，闭着眼开始尝试筑基起来。
"Friend Daoist Han, I've been waiting for you."
dǎo shàng de zhòng rén ， zì rán bú huì zhī xiǎo ， zài hán yì tà zú dǎo yǔ de shùn jiān ， jiù yǒu yī dào mù guāng chuān guò dà bàn gè cóng yún hǎi ， luò dào tā de shēn shàng 。
岛上的众人，自然不会知晓，在韩易踏足岛屿的瞬间，就有一道目光穿过大半个丛云海，落到他的身上。
Using the sky perspective locked on Li Chenfeng, Li Fan observed Han Yi, who was sitting with his eyes closed in meditation.
“ hán dào yǒu ， wǒ kě shì děng hòu duō shí le 。”
“韩道友，我可是等候多时了。”
"Haven't you saved up for so long?"
jiè zhù suǒ dìng lǐ chén fēng de tiān dì shì jiǎo ， lǐ fán ráo yǒu xìng qù de dǎ liàng zhe pán tuǐ bì mù de hán yì 。
借助锁定李晨风的天地视角，李凡饶有兴趣的打量着盘腿闭目的韩易。
"Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, is my fate determined by me or not?"
“ zǎn zhè me jiǔ ？”
“攒这么久？”
Li Fan carefully pondered the meaning of those two sentences. He recalled his previous life where he had both extremely lucky and unlucky moments. A bold hypothesis flashed across his mind: "Could it be that Han Yi can control his own fortune? And after establishing his foundation, his mastery over fortune will undergo a qualitative change?"
“ tū pò zhù jī jìng jiè hòu ， wǒ mìng yóu wǒ bù yóu tiān ？”
“突破筑基境界后，我命由我不由天？”
In an instant, Li Fan thought of the avatar in the Realm of Fallen Stars, the divine power of the Heavenly Fate Phoenix.
lǐ fán zǐ xì huí wèi zhe hán yì zhè liǎng jù huà zhōng de yì si 。
李凡仔细回味着韩易这两句话中的意思。
"Can it be so similar? That's interesting!"
zài lián xiǎng dào shàng yī shì ， tā shí ér nì tiān hǎo yùn 、 shí ér yùn dào píng píng de qí guài biǎo xiàn 。
再联想到上一世，他时而逆天好运、时而运道平平的奇怪表现。
He stared intently at Han Yi. Under the sky perspective, he saw a dark black feather forming slowly in his dantian.
yí gè dà dǎn de cāi xiǎng bù jīn fú xiàn zài lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng 。
一个大胆的猜想不禁浮现在李凡脑海中。
"What is this?"
“ nán bù chéng ， zhè hán yì jìng rán néng kòng zhì zì shēn qì yùn ？ ér qiě ， děng tā zhù jī zhī hòu ， duì qì yùn de zhǎng kòng jiāng huì yíng lái zhì biàn ？”
“难不成，这韩易竟然能控制自身气运？而且，等他筑基之后，对气运的掌控将会迎来质变？”
No matter how Li Fan looked, that feather seemed so familiar to him.
chà nà jiān ， lǐ fán jiù xiǎng dào le zì jǐ zài yǔn xiān jìng zhōng de huà shēn duì xiàng ， tiān mìng xuán niǎo de shén tōng 。
刹那间，李凡就想到了自己在陨仙境中的化身对象，天命玄鸟的神通。
"The same goes for the rare foundation establishment item. It seems I was right; it really has something to do with the Heavenly Fate Phoenix."
“ jìng néng rú cǐ xiāng xiàng ？ yǒu yì si ！”
“竟能如此相像？有意思！”
Li Fan's heart stirred. If his previous guess was correct, the founder of the empire was Xu Ke, and the saint master was the green phoenix from that time.
jǐn jǐn dīng zhe hán yì 。 tiān dì shì jiǎo xià ， lǐ fán kàn dào ， zài tā de dān tián chù ， yī gēn yōu hēi sè de yǔ máo ， zhèng zài huǎn huǎn chéng xíng 。
紧紧盯着韩易。天地视角下，李凡看到，在他的丹田处，一根幽黑色的羽毛，正在缓缓成形。
What puzzled Li Fan was that according to Li Chenfeng’s memories, there had never been any trace of a phoenix in the empire.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
The relationship between the Heavenly Fate Phoenix and Xu Ke seemed closer. It didn't make sense that he would keep the green phoenix with him while the phoenix vanished as a companion spirit.
lǐ fán zěn me kàn ， zhè gēn yǔ máo dōu hé céng jīng zhǎng zài zì jǐ shēn shàng de ， shì nà me xiāng sì 。
李凡怎么看，这根羽毛都和曾经长在自己身上的，是那么相似。
If he could figure out the source of Han Yi's unique ability, it might reveal where the phoenix had gone.
“ lián zhù jī qí wù dōu shì rú cǐ 。 kàn lái cuò bù liǎo le ， jìng rán zhēn de gēn tiān mìng xuán niǎo tuō bù liǎo gān xì 。”
“连筑基奇物都是如此。看来错不了了，竟然真的跟天命玄鸟脱不了干系。”
...
lǐ fán xīn zhōng wēi dòng 。
李凡心中微动。
Time passed slowly. Just when Han Yi’s dantian was about to fully form the Heavenly Phoenix feather,
rú guǒ tā zhī qián de cāi cè méi cuò de huà ， dì guó de dì zào zhě jiù shì xǔ kè 。 nà wèi shèng shī ， zé shì dāng nián de nà zhǐ qīng luán niǎo 。
如果他之前的猜测没错的话，帝国的缔造者就是许克。那位圣师，则是当年的那只青鸾鸟。
"Hahaha! I succeeded!"
dàn ràng lǐ fán shǐ zhōng jué de yǒu xiē yí huò de shì ， gēn jù lǐ chén fēng de jì yì ， dì guó zhōng cóng lái jiù méi yǒu chū xiàn guò xuán niǎo de zōng jì 。
但让李凡始终觉得有些疑惑的是，根据李晨风的记忆，帝国中从来就没有出现过玄鸟的踪迹。
A cultivator nearby suddenly stood up and shouted joyfully.
lǐ lùn shàng lái jiǎng ， tiān mìng xuán niǎo gēn xǔ kè de guān xì gèng jiā mì qiè 。
理论上来讲，天命玄鸟跟许克的关系更加密切。
Han Yi, who was meditating with his eyes closed, was slightly affected by this, and the image of the black feather became hazy again. He frowned.
méi dào lǐ bàn lù jiǎn de qīng luán niǎo dōu yì zhí péi zài tā shēn biān ， zuò wéi bàn shēng líng shòu de xuán niǎo què xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。
没道理半路捡的青鸾鸟都一直陪在他身边，作为伴生灵兽的玄鸟却消失不见了。
After he finally calmed down and tried to condense his dao foundation once more, another student in the courtyard successfully established his foundation, emitting a long roar as his aura surged.
rú guǒ néng nòng qīng chǔ hán yì zhè qí tè néng lì de lái yuán ， huò xǔ jiù néng zhī xiǎo xuán niǎo dāng nián de qù xiàng 。
如果能弄清楚韩易这奇特能力的来源，或许就能知晓玄鸟当年的去向。
"Today I know who I am! Thank you, Master!"
……
……
The man laughed loudly, bowed to Zhu Shaotang, and flew away with great spirit.
shí jiān huǎn huǎn liú shì ， zhèng dāng hán yì dān tián zhōng de 【 xuán niǎo zhī yǔ 】 jí jiāng chè dǐ xíng chéng de shí hòu 。
时间缓缓流逝，正当韩易丹田中的【玄鸟之羽】即将彻底形成的时候。
Han Yi’s dantian image of the black feather shattered completely.
“ hā hā hā ！ wǒ chéng gōng le !”
“哈哈哈！我成功了!”
"This is endless!"
hán yì shēn páng ， yī wèi xiū shì hū de zhàn qǐ ， fàng shēng gāo hū dào 。
韩易身旁，一位修士忽的站起，放声高呼道。
In an instant, Han Yi spat out a mouthful of blood in anger. He stood up abruptly, looking around.
zhèng zài bì mù níng shén de hán yì bù miǎn shòu dào le xiē yǐng xiǎng ， hēi yǔ de xíng xiàng chóng xīn biàn dé huàn sàn 。
正在闭目凝神的韩易不免受到了些影响，黑羽的形象重新变得涣散。
But he was bewildered to find that only he remained in the courtyard.
tā méi tóu wēi zhòu 。
他眉头微皱。
The Master of Foundation Establishment looked at him with pity and comforted him: "Young man, don't lose heart; although you failed this time, I see you are close to success."
děng tā hǎo bù róng yì jìng xià xīn lái ， zài dù cháng shì níng jù zì shēn dào jī 。
等他好不容易静下心来，再度尝试凝聚自身道基。
"I'm sure you'll succeed next time!"
xiǎo yuàn zhōng yòu shì yī rén zhù jī chéng gōng ， shēn shàng qì xī yǒng dòng ， fā chū cháng xiào 。
小院中又是一人筑基成功，身上气息涌动，发出长啸。
Hearing this, Han Yi was so agitated that he spat out another mouthful of blood.
“ jīn rì fāng zhī wǒ shì wǒ ！ xiè guò dà shī ！”
“今日方知我是我！谢过大师！”
The Master of Foundation Establishment kindly offered a pill: "In the path of cultivation, don't force it. I think you should go back and rest properly first."
nà rén hā hā dà xiào ， duì zhe zhù shǎo táng gōng shēn xíng le yī lǐ ， suí hòu yì qì fēng fā dì fēi dùn ér zǒu 。
那人哈哈大笑，对着祝少堂躬身行了一礼，随后意气风发地飞遁而走。
"Next time, I’ll only charge you one thousand contribution points!"
hán yì méi tóu jǐn suǒ ， dào jī zài dù kuì sàn jǐ fēn 。
韩易眉头紧锁，道基再度溃散几分。
Han Yi opened his mouth but stopped short. Although he was full of不甘 (unwillingness to accept defeat), facing a master far stronger than him, he had no choice.
“ shí nián zhī xīn kǔ ， jīn rì shǐ gōng chéng 。 cóng jīn wǎng hòu ， tiān dì suī guǎng ， wǒ nán gōng qián bù lǚ tà zhī 。” yī wèi shū shēng mú yàng de xiū shì ， yáo tóu huàng nǎo ， yín sòng le shǒu shī hòu ， piāo rán ér qù 。
“十年知辛苦，今日始功成。从今往后，天地虽广，我南宫乾步履踏之。”一位书生模样的修士，摇头晃脑，吟诵了首诗后，飘然而去。
Swallowing the pill forcefully, Han Yi stumbled and flew away from the Foundation Establishment Island.
hán yì dān tián chù ， hēi sè de xuán niǎo zhī yǔ jǐng xiàng chè dǐ pò suì 。
韩易丹田处，黑色的玄鸟之羽景象彻底破碎。
"Really unlucky, this Han Yi."
“ yǒu wán méi wán ！”
“有完没完！”
"It seems it's not his time to turn his fortune around yet."
měng dì tǔ chū yī kǒu xiān xuè ， hán yì bó rán dà nù ， měng dì zhàn qǐ ， huán gù sì zhōu 。
勐地吐出一口鲜血，韩易勃然大怒，勐地站起，环顾四周。
Li Fan’s eyes flashed as he quietly left the Realm of a Thousand Immortals and headed towards Han Yi, who was being targeted by the formless killing intent.
kě shì què máng rán de fā xiàn ， zhè chù xiǎo yuàn zhōng ， jìng rán zhǐ shèng xià le zì jǐ yī rén 。
可是却茫然的发现，这处小院中，竟然只剩下了自己一人。
Deciding to use soul-searching magic directly, Li Fan wanted to see what secrets lay hidden in Han Yi's body.
zhù jī dà shī yòng bēi mǐn de yǎn shén kàn zhe tā ， ān wèi dào ：“ xiǎo huǒ zi bú yào huī xīn ， suī rán zhè cì shī bài le ， dàn shì wǒ kàn nǐ lí chéng gōng yǐ jīng bù yuǎn le 。”
筑基大师用悲悯的眼神看着他，安慰道：“小伙子不要灰心，虽然这次失败了，但是我看你离成功已经不远了。”
After leaving the Foundation Establishment Island, it seemed that Han Yi had suffered a great blow.
“ xiǎng bì xià cì jiù yí dìng néng zhù jī chéng gōng 。”
“想必下次就一定能筑基成功。”
He lost his direction and aimlessly flew around.
hán yì wén yán ， xīn xù jī dòng zhī xià ， yòu shì tǔ chū yī kǒu xiān xuè 。
韩易闻言，心绪激动之下，又是吐出一口鲜血。
When he came to his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar sea.
zhù jī dà shī hǎo xīn de dì le kē dān yào guò qù ：“ xiū xíng zhī dào ， bù kě qiǎng qiú 。 wǒ kàn nǐ hái shì xiān huí qù hǎo hǎo yǎng shāng ， tiáo yǎng shēn tǐ ba 。”
筑基大师好心的递了颗丹药过去：“修行之道，不可强求。我看你还是先回去好好养伤，调养身体吧。”
"Damnit, just one more step."
“ xià cì lái ， wǒ zhǐ shōu nǐ yī qiān diǎn gòng xiàn dù ！”
“下次来，我只收你一千点贡献度！”
"That damn heaven!"
hán yì zhāng zhāng zuǐ ， yù yán yòu zhǐ 。
韩易张张嘴，欲言又止。
There was no one around. Han Yi angrily pointed at the sky and vented his frustration.
suī rán xīn zhōng mǎn shì bù gān ， dàn miàn duì shí lì yuǎn shèng yú tā de zhù jī dà shī ， yě shì wú kě nài hé 。
虽然心中满是不甘，但面对实力远胜于他的筑基大师，也是无可奈何。
Suddenly, the calm sea surface began to churn violently as if something was rising from the depths.
hěn hěn dì jiāng dān yào tūn rù fù zhōng ， hán yì liàng liàng qiàng qiàng dì fēi lí le zhù jī dǎo 。
狠狠地将丹药吞入腹中，韩易踉踉跄跄地飞离了筑基岛。
Han Yi stared at the water, his expression strange.
“ zhēn shì shuāi dào jí diǎn le a ， zhè hán yì 。”
“真是衰到极点了啊，这韩易。”
After a thorough look around, he dived into the water.
“ kàn lái ， xiàn zài hái méi dào tā nì tiān zhuǎn yùn de shí hòu 。”
“看来，现在还没到他逆天转运的时候。”
Continuing downward, he eventually found the source of the disturbance.
lǐ fán yǎn shén wēi shǎn ， qiǎo rán chū le wàn xiān dǎo ， zhí bēn bèi wú xiāng shā jī suǒ dìng de hán yì ér qù 。
李凡眼神微闪，悄然出了万仙岛，直奔被无相杀机锁定的韩易而去。
It turned out that in the ruins on the seabed, there had appeared a large hole. Countless seawater was sucked into it, forming a giant whirlpool.
lǐ fán jué dìng zhí jiē dòng yòng sōu hún fǎ shù ， kàn kàn zhè hán yì shēn shàng jiū jìng yǐn cáng zhe shén me mì mì 。
李凡决定直接动用搜魂法术，看看这韩易身上究竟隐藏着什么秘密。
Han Yi stared at the vortex, his expression changing constantly.
cóng zhù jī dǎo yǔ chū lái hòu ， hán yì sì hū shòu dào le jí dà de dǎ jī 。
从筑基岛屿出来后，韩易似乎受到了极大的打击。
Finally, he gritted his teeth and was about to dive headfirst into the vortex when...
méi yǒu le mù biāo hé fāng xiàng ， máng rán wú cuò de ， suí yì fēi xíng 。
没有了目标和方向，茫然无措的，随意飞行。
"Bind Insects!"
děng tā huí guò shén lái shí ， yǐ jīng dào le yī chù mò shēng de hǎi yù 。
等他回过神来时，已经到了一处陌生的海域。
He seemed to hear an indistinct voice in his ear.
“ kě wù ， yòu shì zhǐ chà nà me yī sī 。”
“可恶，又是只差那么一丝。”
Suddenly, Han Yi found himself completely unable to control his body. He couldn't move anywhere!
“ zhè zéi lǎo tiān ！”
“这贼老天！”
A shapeless black figure slowly appeared behind him.
zhōu wéi méi yǒu rén ， hán yì jìn qíng de nù zhǐ zhe tiān kōng ， sì yì fā xiè dào 。
周围没有人，韩易尽情的怒指着天空，肆意发泄道。
The extremely dangerous aura emanating from it made Han Yi’s heart sink.
jiù zài zhè shí ， yuán běn píng jìng de hǎi miàn hū de fān yǒng qǐ yī zhèn jù làng 。
就在这时，原本平静的海面忽的翻涌起一阵巨浪。
Just as the other party's hand was about to cover his head,
fǎng fú yǒu shén me dōng xī zhèng zì hǎi dǐ shēn chù fú xiàn 。
仿佛有什么东西正自海底深处浮现。
Several beams of golden light suddenly shot down from above, targeting the black figure in front of Han Yi instead.
hán yì dīng zhe shuǐ miàn ， shén sè mò míng 。
韩易盯着水面，神色莫名。
The power of the golden beams was formidable, forcing the black figure to dodge.
zuǒ yòu dǎ liàng le yī fān ， tā suí zhī qián rù shuǐ zhōng 。
左右打量了一番，他随之潜入水中。
"Master Li, it took us a long time to find you!"
bù duàn xiàng xià ， shēn rù hǎi dǐ 。
不断向下，深入海底。
Four black-clothed cultivators appeared and surrounded them, also hiding their forms.
"Hey, what are you mumbling about? You've been standing there for a while now. Are you going to come in or not?" Li Chenfeng leaned against the wall and glanced at Han Yi with some impatience.
"Come on in," Han Yi, who was muttering to himself, jumped slightly when he heard this. Reluctantly, he handed over a storage ring.
"Here are two thousand low-grade spirit stones; they're all inside." Han Yi said with a bit of reluctance.
"Alright, follow me then." Li Chenfeng had seen millions of contribution points before and was no longer impressed by the few hundred points. However, even a mosquito is meat. He pursed his lips and put away the storage ring.
