xǔ bái xīn zhōng yī chén 。
许白心中一沉。
Xu Bai's heart sank.
yīn wèi ， gēn jù shàng yī shì de jīng yàn ， dào jì shí jié shù ， jiù huì zhí jiē bèi chuán chū zhè piàn kōng jiān 。
因为，根据上一世的经验，倒计时结束，就会直接被传出这片空间。
Because, based on his experience from the previous life, when the countdown ended, he would be directly teleported out of this space.
dào shí hòu ruò shì yī jiù méi yǒu jié guǒ ， zì jǐ qǐ bù shì yào bái pǎo yī tàng ？
到时候若是依旧没有结果，自己岂不是要白跑一趟？
If there was still no result by then, wouldn't it mean that all his efforts were in vain?
gēn jù 《 yǎn fǎ jué shǐ yòng xū zhī 》， xiān qián zhè yàng de shì qíng ， bìng bú shì méi yǒu fā shēng guò 。 zhǐ néng guài zì jǐ tān xīn ， bìng bú huì gěi nǐ chóng xīn lái guò de jī huì 。
根据《衍法珏使用须知》，先前这样的事情，并不是没有发生过。只能怪自己贪心，并不会给你重新来过的机会。
According to the "Guidelines for Using the Derivation Jade," such situations had happened before. It was just a pity that his greed had left him with no second chance.
bù guò ， kàn zhe shuì dé zhèng xiāng tián de yǎn fǎ xiǎo luó lì ， xǔ bái chén yín piàn kè ， què shì méi yǒu mào rán jiāng qí chǎo xǐng 。
不过，看着睡得正香甜的衍法小萝莉，许白沉吟片刻，却是没有冒然将其吵醒。
However, looking at the little derivative technique fairy who was sound asleep, Xu Bai hesitated for a moment and did not rashly wake her up. Instead, he continued to wait patiently.
ér shì jì xù mò mò nài xīn děng dài 。
而是继续默默耐心等待。
Even as the countdown grew closer, he remained calm and silent.
nǎ pà dào jì shí yuè lái yuè jìn ， tā yě shí fēn chén wěn de méi yǒu chū shēng 。
哪怕倒计时越来越近，他也十分沉稳的没有出声。
When the countdown reached zero, just as the surroundings began to become increasingly illusory,
dào jì shí guī líng ， zhèng dāng zhōu wéi de jǐng xiàng biàn dé zhú jiàn xū huàn qǐ lái de shí hòu 。
倒计时归零，正当周围的景象变得逐渐虚幻起来的时候。
"Wait a bit more..."
“ děng děng la ……”
“等等啦……”
The little derivative technique fairy suddenly raised her hand impatiently in her dream.
shuì mèng zhōng de xiǎo luó lì hū de yǒu xiē bù nài fán de jǔ qǐ le shǒu 。
睡梦中的小萝莉忽的有些不耐烦的举起了手。
In this way, Xu Bai saw the previously blurry countdown on his screen reappear clearly. It then rapidly increased until it returned to two days before stopping.
jiù zhè yàng ， xǔ bái kàn dào yǎn qián yuán běn yǒu xiē mó hú de dào jì shí chóng xīn biàn dé qīng xī 。 ér hòu fēi sù zēng zhǎng ， zhí dào chóng xīn biàn huí liǎng tiān ， cái tíng le xià lái 。
就这样，许白看到眼前原本有些模湖的倒计时重新变得清晰。而后飞速增长，直到重新变回两天，才停了下来。
This time, the countdown did not disappear but instead kept pulsing before him like a final reminder.
zhè cì dào jì shí méi yǒu xiāo shī ， ér shì shí kè zài xǔ bái miàn qián bù tíng tiào dòng ， shì shì zuì zhōng de tí xǐng 。
这次倒计时没有消失，而是时刻在许白面前不停跳动，似是最终的提醒。
"Sure enough, I got lucky."
“ guǒ rán ， dǔ duì le 。”
“果然，赌对了。”
Xu Bai ignored the countdown and continued staring at the Derivation Technique Symbol ball above with no change in his expression.
xǔ bái zì shì jiāng dào jì shí wú shì 。 liǎn sè méi yǒu sī háo biàn huà ， jì xù dīng zhe shàng fāng de yǎn fǎ fú qiú 。
许白自是将倒计时无视。脸色没有丝毫变化，继续盯着上方的衍法符球。
"If my true self were here, recording every scene of this period using the Dao Shaping Stones. Would that mean I also recorded the spells derived by the Derivation Jade during this time?"
“ ruò shì wǒ běn zūn lái cǐ ， jiāng zhè qī jiān de měi yī fēn háo biàn huà chǎng jǐng ， quán dōu yòng huà dào shí jì lù xià lái 。 zhè shì bú shì yì wèi zhe ， wǒ yě jiāng yǎn fǎ jué zhè duàn shí jiān tuī yǎn chū de fǎ shù gěi jì xià le ？”
“若是我本尊来此，将这期间的每一分毫变化场景，全都用化道石记录下来。这是不是意味着，我也将衍法珏这段时间推衍出的法术给记下了？”
"Of course, just the sequence of character combinations. To know the details of the technique, only the true owner of the Derivation Jade could understand the relationship between characters and techniques."
“ dāng rán ， zhǐ shì zì fú zǔ hé de shùn xù bà le 。 xiǎng yào huò zhī gōng fǎ xiáng qíng ， kǒng pà zhǐ yǒu yǎn fǎ jué běn zūn cái néng zhī xiǎo zì fú gēn gōng fǎ jù tǐ de duì yìng guān xì 。”
“当然，只是字符组合的顺序罢了。想要获知功法详情，恐怕只有衍法珏本尊才能知晓字符跟功法具体的对应关系。”
Xu Bai's plan to kidnap the Derivation Jade became more refined.
xǔ bái nǎo hǎi zhōng de “ yòu guǎi yǎn fǎ jué ” jì huà ， yòu wán shàn le jǐ fēn 。
许白脑海中的“诱拐衍法珏”计划，又完善了几分。
Of course, its implementation would not happen now.
dāng rán ， jì huà de shí shī kěn dìng bú huì shì xiàn zài 。
当然，计划的实施肯定不会是现在。
Another day and a half passed as the huge Derivation Technique Symbol ball gradually stopped spinning.
yòu shì yī tiān bàn de shí jiān guò qù ， jù dà de yǎn fǎ fú qiú zhú jiàn tíng zhǐ le zhuǎn dòng 。
又是一天半的时间过去，巨大的衍法符球逐渐停止了转动。
The little derivative technique fairy suddenly woke up from her slumber. Her face, which was usually so delicate, now had faint dark circles under her eyes.
xiǎo luó lì měng dì yī tái tóu ， cóng chén shuì zhōng sū xǐng 。
小萝莉勐地一抬头，从沉睡中苏醒。
She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and said with some satisfaction, "Done!"
fěn diāo yù zuó de liǎn shàng ， jū rán yǐn yǐn chū xiàn le liǎng gè hēi yǎn quān 。
粉凋玉琢的脸上，居然隐隐出现了两个黑眼圈。
She tapped on the table, and countless pieces of paper appeared from the surface, flying towards Xu Bai.
tā róu le róu yǎn jīng ， dǎ le gè hā qiàn ， suí hòu pǒ yǒu xiē dé yì de shuō dào ：“ gǎo dìng ！”
她揉了揉眼睛，打了个哈欠，随后颇有些得意的说道：“搞定！”
Carefully taking them over, Xu Bai did not rush to read this newly derived technique. Instead, he bowed again to the little derivative technique fairy: "Thank you for your hard work!"
qīng qiāo le qiāo zhuō zi 。
轻敲了敲桌子。
His voice was gentle.
wú shù xiǎo zi zì zhuō miàn yǒng xiàn ， huà zuò yī zhāng bái zhǐ ， cháo zhe xǔ bái fēi lái 。
无数小子自桌面涌现，化作一张白纸，朝着许白飞来。
"Hahaha, it's fine! I'm pretty strong!" The little derivative technique fairy yawned and scratched her head with a satisfied expression.
zhèng zhòng dì jiāng qí jiē guò ， xǔ bái méi yǒu zháo jí yuè dú zhè mén xīn tuī yǎn de gōng fǎ ， ér shì cháo zhe xiǎo luó lì zài dù gōng shēn ：“ nín xīn kǔ le ！”
郑重地将其接过，许白没有着急阅读这门新推衍的功法，而是朝着小萝莉再度躬身：“您辛苦了！”
Xu Bai looked at the countdown and said softly, "You have half a day left. You can rest now."
xǔ bái yǔ qì róu hé dào 。
许白语气柔和道。
The little derivative technique fairy's face drooped: "No way, this is hard-earned vacation time. I need to use it wisely."
“ hā hā hā ， hái hǎo la ！ wǒ kě shì hěn qiáng de ！” yǎn fǎ xiǎo luó lì yī biān dǎ le gè hā qiàn ， yī biān náo tóu dé yì dào 。
“哈哈哈，还好啦！我可是很强的！”衍法小萝莉一边打了个哈欠，一边挠头得意道。
"Better get going."
xǔ bái kàn xiàng dào jì shí ， róu shēng dào ：“ hái yǒu bàn tiān shí jiān ， nín jiē xià lái jiù hǎo hǎo xiū xī xià ba 。”
许白看向倒计时，柔声道：“还有半天时间，您接下来就好好休息下吧。”
"The next one will be an alchemy technique of the Core Formation realm. I might as well take some breaks while doing that."
xiǎo luó lì wén yán ， dùn shí liǎn dā lā le xià lái ：“ bù xíng la ， zhè kě shì wǒ hǎo bù róng yì cái zǎn xià lái de jià qī 。 yào shěng zhe diǎn yòng ne 。”
小萝莉闻言，顿时脸耷拉了下来：“不行啦，这可是我好不容易才攒下来的假期。要省着点用呢。”
Not taking Xu Bai seriously at all, the little derivative technique fairy laughed and said, "Bye-bye." She waved goodbye.
“ nǐ hái shì kuài diǎn zǒu ba 。”
“你还是快点走吧。”
Xu Bai bowed slightly and memorized the content on the paper in his hand before the countdown suddenly ended and everything around him became illusory.
“ xià yí gè shì yuán yīng jí bié de gōng fǎ tuī yǎn ， dǎo shì kě yǐ chèn jī tōu diǎn lǎn 。”
“下一个是元婴级别的功法推衍，倒是可以趁机偷点懒。”
In the next moment, he found himself outside the Guardian Hall's black stone tablet.
sī háo méi yǒu bǎ xǔ bái dàng zuò wài rén ， yǎn fǎ xiǎo luó lì shǎ xiào zhe shuō dào 。
丝毫没有把许白当做外人，衍法小萝莉傻笑着说道。
"How did it go?" The leading dark-clothed cultivator asked.
tā huī le huī shǒu ， gēn xǔ bái gào bié 。
她挥了挥手，跟许白告别。
"Very satisfactory," Xu Bai nodded slowly as he checked the combined Dao technique derived by the Derivation Jade in his mind.
“ qī dài xià yī cì zài gēn nín xiāng jiàn 。” xǔ bái wēi wēi xíng le yī lǐ ， jiāng shǒu zhōng zhǐ zhāng de nèi róng ， láo láo jì zài xīn zhōng 。
“期待下一次再跟您相见。”许白微微行了一礼，将手中纸张的内容，牢牢记在心中。
"The 'Sitting Immortal Technique'..." His eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
ér hòu dào jì shí dǒu rán zhōng jié ， zhōu wéi biàn dé xū huàn 。
而后倒计时陡然终结，周围变得虚幻。
The "Immortal" in Sitting Immortal was not referring to true immortals, but cultivators.
xià yī kè ， tā rén yǐ jīng chū xiàn zài le hù fǎ táng hēi shí bēi zhī wài 。
下一刻，他人已经出现在了护法堂黑石碑之外。
This combined Dao technique, which took three and a half days for the Derivation Jade to derive, truly stood out from the ordinary. It almost perfectly met Xu Bai's requirements.
“ jié guǒ rú hé ？” yǐn lù hēi yī xiū shì wèn dào 。
“结果如何？”引路黑衣修士问道。
While still focusing on enjoying the benefits of the technique, its realm limit had been raised to the Core Formation realm.
“ shí fēn mǎn yì 。” nǎo hǎi zhōng ， chá kàn zhe yǎn fǎ jué tuī yǎn de hé dào gōng fǎ ， xǔ bái huǎn huǎn diǎn tóu 。
“十分满意。”脑海中，查看着衍法珏推衍的合道功法，许白缓缓点头。
From now until Longevity Realm, Li Fan would no longer need to worry about techniques.
“《 zuò xiān jué 》……” tā de mù guāng zhōng ， liú lù chū yī sī qí sè 。
“《坐仙诀》……”他的目光中，流露出一丝奇色。
At the same time, The Sitting Immortal Technique underwent some improvements.
zuò xiān jué de xiān ， zì rán bú shì zhēn xiān de xiān 。
坐仙诀的仙，自然不是真仙的仙。
For example, the conditions for receiving feedback in terms of cultivation were further reduced.
ér shì xiū xiān zhě de xiān 。
而是修仙者的仙。
In the case of The Sitting Mountain Technique, only when a cultivator's benefits reached a certain level and their cultivation improved, would the technique provide feedback in terms of cultivation.
yǎn fǎ jué bù xī dòng yòng zì shēn jià qī ， gòng hào shí sān tiān bàn shí jiān tuī yǎn chū lái de zhè mén hé dào gōng fǎ ， dàng zhēn shì bù tóng fán xiǎng 。
衍法珏不惜动用自身假期，共耗时三天半时间推衍出来的这门合道功法，当真是不同凡响。
However, with The Sitting Immortal Technique, even just casual advice could generate corresponding feedback in cultivation as long as there was a causal connection. When the other party's cultivation progressed, it would benefit the practitioner of The Sitting Immortal Technique. Even if the "benefit" was small, this feedback in terms of cultivation was negligible but still existed.
jìn hū wán měi de mǎn zú le xǔ bái tí chū de yāo qiú 。
近乎完美的满足了许白提出的要求。
The saying goes: A drop of water for an ounce of kindness.
yī jiù yǐ 【 zuò xiǎng qí chéng 】 wèi gōng fǎ lì yì hé xīn ， gōng fǎ jìng jiè shàng xiàn ， tí gāo dào le hé dào jìng jiè 。
依旧以【坐享其成】为功法立意核心，功法境界上限，提高到了合道境界。
In addition, The Sitting Immortal Technique strengthened the bond between its practitioners.
zhì cǐ ， zhǎn wàng cháng shēng jìng zhī qián ， lǐ fán dōu bù xū yào zài wèi gōng fǎ ér kùn nǎo 。
至此，展望长生境之前，李凡都不需要再为功法而困恼。
Those who received benefits from Li Fan could feel his presence through a causal connection.
tóng shí ，《 zuò xiān jué 》 yě jìn xíng le mǒu xiē fāng miàn de gǎi jìn 。
同时，《坐仙诀》也进行了某些方面的改进。
The stronger the benefit, the stronger the feeling.
bǐ rú ， dá chéng fǎn kuì xiū wèi de tiáo jiàn ， jìn yí bù jiàng dī 。
比如，达成反馈修为的条件，进一步降低。
Like "transmitting teachings," this act of creation was almost as real as the Unformulated Slaughter Mechanism.
《 zuò shān jué 》， zhǐ yǒu duì xiū shì de ēn huì dá dào yí dìng chéng dù ， dāng duì fāng xiū wèi jìn bù zhī hòu ， gōng fǎ de xiū liàn zhě cái huì dé dào fǎn kuì xiū wèi 。
《坐山诀》，只有对修士的恩惠达到一定程度，当对方修为进步之后，功法的修炼者才会得到反馈修为。
Li Fan could deepen his causal relationship with those who benefited him by continuously receiving feedback in cultivation.
ér 《 zuò xiān jué 》 zé bù rán 。
而《坐仙诀》则不然。
When it reached a certain level, he could even influence them beyond spatial distance.
nǎ pà zhǐ shì suí kǒu diǎn bō yī jù ， zhǐ yào yǒu 【 yīn guǒ 】 guān lián 。 dāng duì fāng xiū wèi jīng jìn zhī hòu ， jiù huì chǎn shēng yī lǚ xiāng duì yīng de fǎn kuì xiū wèi ， fǎn bǔ 《 zuò xiān jué 》 de xiū liàn zhě 。 jí biàn dāng “ ēn huì ” hěn xiǎo de shí hòu ， zhè lǚ fǎn kuì xiū wèi yě wēi hū qí wēi ， jī hū kě yǐ hū lüè bù jì 。 dàn zhōng jiū shì cún zài de 。
哪怕只是随口点拨一句，只要有【因果】关联。当对方修为精进之后，就会产生一缕相对应的反馈修为，反哺《坐仙诀》的修炼者。即便当“恩惠”很小的时候，这缕反馈修为也微乎其微，几乎可以忽略不计。但终究是存在的。
...
suǒ wèi ： dī shuǐ zhī ēn ， biàn yǐ dī shuǐ bào zhī 。
所谓：滴水之恩，便以滴水报之。
Xu Bai marveled at The Sitting Immortal Technique's many wonders.
chú cǐ zhī wài ，《 zuò xiān jué 》 yòu jiā qiáng le gōng fǎ zhǔ tǐ zhī jiān de jī bàn 。
除此之外，《坐仙诀》又加强了功法主体之间的羁绊。
"Even if it doesn't match true immortals' techniques, it can still be called the True Profound Art of Creation!"
shòu lǐ fán ēn huì zhě ， lǐ fán biàn kě píng jiè qí zhōng “ yīn guǒ guān lián ”， duì qí chǎn shēng míng míng gǎn yìng 。
受李凡恩惠者，李凡便可凭借其中“因果关联”，对其产生冥冥感应。
While his heart was filled with excitement, the thought of possessing the Derivation Jade resurfaced.
ēn huì yuè zhòng ， gǎn yìng yuè qiáng 。
恩惠越重，感应越强。
-----------------
xiàng “ chuán fǎ ” zhè bān zài zào zhī ēn ， kǒng pà jī hū néng rú 【 wú xiāng shā jī 】 yì bān ， shēn lín qí jìng 。
像“传法”这般再造之恩，恐怕几乎能如【无相杀机】一般，身临其境。
"Brother Li? Brother Li!"
lǐ fán gèng kě yǐ píng jiè zhè yuán yuán bù duàn de fǎn kuì xiū wèi ， jiā shēn hé shòu ēn huì xiū shì de yīn guǒ 。
李凡更可以凭借这源源不断的反馈修为，加深和受恩惠修士的因果。
Amidst the endless white fog, a call from afar brought Li Fan back to reality.
dá dào yí dìng de chéng dù shí ， gèng kě yǐ wú shì kōng jiān jù lí ， duì qí chǎn shēng yí dìng de jīng shén yǐng xiǎng 。
达到一定的程度时，更可以无视空间距离，对其产生一定的精神影响。
"Did you hear any sounds nearby?" Huangfu Song asked.
……
……
Li Fan pretended to listen intently and shook his head after a long while.
xǔ bái kàn zhe 《 zuò xiān jué 》 de zhū duō xuán qí zhī chù ， bù jīn xīn cháo pēng pài 。
许白看着《坐仙诀》的诸多玄奇之处，不禁心潮澎湃。
"Distinguishing these strange sounds in this maze is too mentally taxing. Thanks to Brother Li's abilities, we've already completed two relatively safe explorations of the mazes."
“ jí biàn bǐ bù shàng zhēn de xiān fǎ ， yě kě yǐ chēng de shàng yī shēng 【 zào huà zhēn xuán gōng 】 le ！”
“即便比不上真的仙法，也可以称得上一声【造化真玄功】了！”
"It's time for him to rest! Don't urge Huangfu anymore!" Dongfang Yao said with some resentment.
xīn zhōng jī dòng de tóng shí ， jiāng yǎn fǎ jué jù wéi jǐ yǒu de niàn tou ， yòu bù kě bì miǎn de zài dù shēng qǐ 。
心中激动的同时，将衍法珏据为己有的念头，又不可避免的再度升起。
Huangfu Song blushed: "It was my fault. I got carried away!"
-----------------
-----------------
Connecting his divine sense with the Heaven Measuring Mirror, he saw their Qingxuan Points skyrocket to 15,000 points and said happily, "Brother Li's ability is truly remarkable; he can hear sounds from within the fog."
“ lǐ xiōng ？ lǐ xiōng ！”
“李兄？李兄！”
"Me and Dongfang no matter how we tried couldn't hear anything!"
máng máng bái wù zhōng ， ěr pàn chuán lái de hū hǎn shēng ， ràng lǐ fán huí guò shén lái 。
茫茫白雾中，耳畔传来的呼喊声，让李凡回过神来。
"I told you Brother Li was reliable, worth befriending!" Dongfang Yao praised.
“ fù jìn dào dǐ yǒu méi yǒu tīng dào shén me shēng xiǎng a ？” huáng fǔ sōng wèn dào 。
“附近到底有没有听到什么声响啊？”皇甫松问道。
Li Fan smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly turned serious.
lǐ fán zhuāng zuò cè ěr qīng tīng de yàng zi ， xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu wēi wēi yáo tóu 。
李凡装作侧耳倾听的样子，许久之后微微摇头。
He looked at a certain direction in the white fog and then changed his face: "Danger! Quick, move!"
“ fēn biàn zhè mí yù qí yīn ， bì jìng tài guò hào fèi xīn shén 。 quán kào lǐ xiōng zhī néng ， wǒ men yǐ jīng lián xù wán chéng le liǎng gè wēi xiǎn chéng dù jiào dī de mí yù tàn suǒ de 。”
“分辨这迷域奇音，毕竟太过耗费心神。全靠李兄之能，我们已经连续完成了两个危险程度较低的迷域探索的。”
As he spoke, he seized control of the Puxian True Boat, instantly steering it several dozen feet to the right.
“ shì shí hòu ràng tā xiū xī huì le ！ huáng fǔ nǐ bú yào cuī le ！” dōng fāng yào yǒu xiē mán yuàn dào 。
“是时候让他休息会了！皇甫你不要催了！”东方曜有些埋怨道。
Huangfu and Dongfang were still dazed when they saw a huge black light column shoot out from deep within the fog and streak towards the distance.
huáng fǔ sōng wén yán ， miàn lù gān gà zhī sè ：“ shì wǒ bú duì 。 zhè bú shì tài guò jī dòng le ma ！”
皇甫松闻言，面露尴尬之色：“是我不对。这不是太过激动了嘛！”
The power was so great that even the eternal white fog was blasted into a long hollow.
Xu Bai's heart sank.
Because, based on his experience from the previous life, when the countdown ended, he would be directly teleported out of this space.
If there was still no result by then, wouldn't it mean that all his efforts were in vain?
According to the "Guidelines for Using the Derivation Jade," such situations had happened before. It was just a pity that his greed had left him with no second chance.
However, looking at the little derivative technique fairy who was sound asleep, Xu Bai hesitated for a moment and did not rashly wake her up. Instead, he continued to wait patiently.

"The next one will be an alchemy technique of the Core Formation realm. I might as well take some breaks while doing that."
Not taking Xu Bai seriously at all, the little derivative technique fairy laughed and said, "Bye-bye." She waved goodbye.
Xu Bai bowed slightly and memorized the content on the paper in his hand before the countdown suddenly ended and everything around him became illusory.
