suǒ yǒu xiū shì de xīn zhōng tóng shí fú xiàn chū yí gè niàn tou 。
所有修士的心中同时浮现出一个念头。
All the cultivators in the room simultaneously had a thought.
zhè cì fā le 。
这次发了。
This time, it's finally happening.
guāng kàn zhè dì yī céng ， gōng fǎ jiù hé zhǐ shàng wàn ！
光看这第一层，功法就何止上万！
Just by looking at this first layer, there are more than ten thousand techniques!
suí biàn dài chū qù yī xiē ， jiù zú yǐ dǐ de shàng píng shí shí jǐ nián de xīn kǔ 。
随便带出去一些，就足以抵得上平时十几年的辛苦。
Even if they just copy some of them, it would be enough to offset years of hard work.
yī gǔ gǔ tān liàn zì xiū shì men xīn zhōng fú qǐ 。
一股股贪恋自修士们心中浮起。
A wave of greed rose from within the cultivators' hearts.
zhè xiē xiū shì ， suī rán yǐ jīng duì shū jià shàng de gōng fǎ shí fēn yǎn chán 。 dàn shè yú zhī qián qín táng de wēi shì ， yě méi yǒu gǎn qīng jǔ wàng dòng 。
这些修士，虽然已经对书架上的功法十分眼馋。但摄于之前秦堂的威势，也没有敢轻举妄动。
Although these cultivators were already eyeing the techniques on the shelves with great desire, they hesitated due to Qin Tang's previous authority and didn't dare to act rashly.
ér qín táng sì hū méi yǒu chá jué dào chǎng zhōng xiū shì de yì cháng 。
而秦堂似乎没有察觉到场中修士的异常。
However, Qin Tang seemed unaware of the unusual behavior among the cultivators present.
tā kàn zhe yī pái pái de shū jià ， mù guāng zhōng lù chū miǎn huái zhī sè ， huǎn huǎn shuō dào ：“ xīn zhī dào ， zài yú zhuān ， zài yú yǒng ， zài yú héng 。”
他看着一排排的书架，目光中露出缅怀之色，缓缓说道：“心之道，在于专，在于勇，在于恒。”
He looked at the rows of bookshelves, his gaze filled with nostalgia as he slowly said, "The heart lies in focus, courage, and perseverance."
“ zhè dì yī guān ， jiù shì kǎo yàn nǐ men de zhuān xīn chéng dù 。”
“这第一关，就是考验你们的专心程度。”
"This first test is a test of your level of concentration."
“ zhè lǐ yǒu sān wàn liù qiān wǔ bǎi sì shí yī běn gōng fǎ ， jiē xià lái yī duàn shí jiān ， nǐ men jiù dài zài zhè lǐ ， duì zhè xiē gōng fǎ jìn xíng chāo lù 。 yǐ sān yuè wéi xiàn 。”
“这里有三万六千五百四十一本功法，接下来一段时间，你们就待在这里，对这些功法进行抄录。以三月为限。”
"There are 36,541 techniques here. For now, you will stay here and copy these techniques. The limit is three months."
“ sān yuè guò hòu ， wǒ jiāng zōng hé nǐ men chāo lù gōng fǎ de shù liàng jí zhì liàng ， duì nǐ men jìn xíng kǎo hé 。”
“三月过后，我将综合你们抄录功法的数量及质量，对你们进行考核。”
"After three months, I will evaluate the quantity and quality of copied techniques to assess each of you."
zài chǎng de xiū shì ， tīng wén qín táng suǒ shuō ， quán dōu miàn lù kuáng xǐ zhī sè 。
在场的修士，听闻秦堂所说，全都面露狂喜之色。
Upon hearing what Qin Tang said, all the cultivators' faces showed intense excitement.
zhè me duō gōng fǎ ， jū rán fàng kāi le ràng tā men chāo yuè ？
这么多功法，居然放开了让他们抄阅？
So many techniques, actually allowing them to copy freely?
zhǐ yào néng jì xià jǐ mén gōng fǎ ， jí biàn zhī hòu zài méi yǒu rèn hé shōu huò 。 zhè tàng mào xiǎn yě shì zhí le a 。
只要能记下几门功法，即便之后再没有任何收获。这趟冒险也是值了啊。
As long as they could memorize a few techniques, even if there were no further gains afterward, this adventure was worth it.
méi yǒu guǎn zài chǎng xiū shì de fǎn yìng 。
没有管在场修士的反应。
Without paying attention to the reactions of the cultivators present,
qín táng suí shǒu yī zhǐ ， gé lóu nèi biàn shēng qǐ shàng bǎi tào zhuō yǐ 。
秦堂随手一指，阁楼内便升起上百套桌椅。
Qin Tang casually pointed his finger, and several dozen sets of desks and chairs appeared in the study.
zhuō shàng fàng zhuó bǐ mò zhǐ yàn 。
桌上放着笔墨纸砚。
Each desk had inkstones, brushes, paper, and ink ready for them.
“ rú cǐ ， nǐ men biàn kāi shǐ ba 。 xī wàng nǐ men bú yào ràng wǒ shī wàng 。” qín táng bù zhī cóng nǎ ná chū gè jiǔ hú lú ， gū lū yòu hē le yī kǒu 。
“如此，你们便开始吧。希望你们不要让我失望。”秦堂不知从哪拿出个酒葫芦，咕噜又喝了一口。
"With that said, begin. I hope you won't disappoint me," Qin Tang took out a wine gourd from somewhere and drank another swig before leaning against the wall as if sleeping.
suí hòu biàn xié yǐ zài qiáng shàng ， yī dòng bù dòng ， fǎng fú shuì zháo le yì bān 。
随后便斜倚在墙上，一动不动，仿佛睡着了一般。
Seeing Qin Tang's command, these cultivators couldn't hold back any longer.
yǎn jiàn qín táng fā huà ， zhè xiē xiū shì àn nà bù zhù 。
眼见秦堂发话，这些修士按捺不住。
They rushed to the bookshelves, picked up some techniques, and examined them closely.
tā men fēi bēn zhì shū jià qián ， jiāng gōng fǎ ná qǐ ， kàn gè jiū jìng 。
他们飞奔至书架前，将功法拿起，看个究竟。
Soon after, the study erupted with noise.
piàn kè zhī hòu ， gé lóu nèi hōng rán bào fā chǎo nào qǐ lái 。
片刻之后，阁楼内轰然爆发吵闹起来。
"What is this? How could it be possible?"
“ zhè shì ？ zěn me kě néng ？”
“这是？怎么可能？”
"The Golden Flame Intense Fire Technique, a fire attribute technique. Can one actually cultivate all the way to Foundation Establishment Realm from this?"
“《 jīn yán liè huǒ gōng 》， huǒ shǔ xìng gōng fǎ 。 néng yī lù xiū liàn zhì yuán yīng jìng ？”
“《金炎烈火功》，火属性功法。能一路修炼至元婴境？”
"This, this, and this are all Foundation Establishment techniques?"
“ zhè běn ， zhè běn ， hái yǒu zhè běn ， dōu shì yuán yīng gōng fǎ ?”
“这本，这本，还有这本，都是元婴功法?”
"Haha, we're in luck! This time, we really hit the jackpot!"
“ hā hā ， fā le ， zhè cì chè dǐ fā le ！”
“哈哈，发了，这次彻底发了！”
...
……
……
Watching the cultivators acting like madmen, Li Fan couldn't help but sneer.
kàn zhe yī zhòng zhuàng ruò fēng diān de xiū shì ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng bù yóu dì fā chū yī sī lěng xiào 。
看着一众状若疯癫的修士，李凡心中不由地发出一丝冷笑。
He casually picked a technique book and sat down at a table to start copying it.
suí yì ná le yī běn gōng fǎ ， biàn xuǎn le yī zhāng zhuō zi zuò xià ， kāi shǐ chāo lù qǐ lái 。
随意拿了一本功法，便选了一张桌子坐下，开始抄录起来。
He didn't delve into the content of the techniques; he just copied them word by word with patience.
gēn běn bù qù shēn jiū gōng fǎ de nèi róng ， zhǐ shì zhú zì zhú jù de nài xīn chāo xiě 。
根本不去深究功法的内容，只是逐字逐句的耐心抄写。
Because he knew that these were all illusions!
yīn wèi tā zhī dào ， zhè xiē gōng fǎ ， dōu shì xū huàn de ！
因为他知道，这些功法，都是虚幻的！
In his previous life, cultivators who had explored this test countless times already had their conclusions about the techniques appearing in this stage.
qián yī shì ， tàn suǒ liǎo wú shù cì de xiū shì zǎo yǐ duì zhè yī guān zhōng chū xiàn de gōng fǎ yǒu le dìng lùn 。
前一世，探索了无数次的修士早已对这一关中出现的功法有了定论。
Regardless of what method one used to record the techniques during the trial,
shì liàn zhōng ， wú lùn cǎi qǔ shén me fāng fǎ jiāng gōng fǎ jì lù 。
试炼中，无论采取什么方法将功法记录。
once they left Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, all records would vanish as if they never existed.
zhǐ yào chū le yún shuǐ tiān gōng ， suǒ yǒu de jì lù dū huì xiāo shī 。
只要出了云水天宫，所有的记录都会消失。
These enticing thousands of techniques were merely mirages and reflections, tools to tempt their minds.
fǎng fú cóng lái bù cún zài yì bān 。
仿佛从来不存在一般。
Although some of the cultivators could vaguely guess the truth,
zhè ràng rén xīn dòng de wàn juàn gōng fǎ ， gēn běn jiù shì jìng zhōng huā ， shuǐ zhōng yuè ， yòng lái yòu huò xīn shén de gōng jù 。
这让人心动的万卷功法，根本就是镜中花，水中月，用来诱惑心神的工具。
how many people could resist temptation and not read them carefully?
zài chǎng de xiū shì ， suī rán néng yǒu yī xiē yǐn yǐn néng cāi cè dào zhēn xiàng 。
在场的修士，虽然能有一些隐隐能猜测到真相。
Even a couple of them became so engrossed in the mysterious wonders of the techniques that they didn't start copying until reminded by others.
dàn ……
但……
They resumed copying, but still found themselves glancing back at the text from time to time.
yuán yīng zhēn gōng zài qián ， yòu yǒu duō shǎo rén néng rěn zhù yòu huò ， bù qù xì dú ne ？
元婴真功在前，又有多少人能忍住诱惑，不去细读呢？
Li Fan was one of those who wrote non-stop without any hesitation or breaks.
shèn zhì hái yǒu yī liǎng gè zhí jiē chén zuì yú gōng fǎ de xuán qí ào miào zhī zhōng ， chí chí méi yǒu chāo lù 。
甚至还有一两个直接沉醉于功法的玄奇奥妙之中，迟迟没有抄录。
With endless paper and ink, Li Fan quickly finished copying his current book before picking another one.
jí biàn zài páng rén de tí xǐng xià huí guò shén lái 。
即便在旁人的提醒下回过神来。
His unyielding approach caught some people's attention.
tā men chāo lù qǐ lái yě hái shì xiě xiě tíng tíng ， rěn bú zhù huí shǒu zài dú 。
他们抄录起来也还是写写停停，忍不住回首再读。
After pondering for a moment, they abandoned their initial attempts to memorize the techniques and focused solely on copying them.
shì lǐ fán zhè bān ， bǐ zǒu lóng shé ， bù guǎn bù gù ， zhǐ shì bù tíng chāo xiě de ， shí zài shì tài shǎo ！
似李凡这般，笔走龙蛇，不管不顾，只是不停抄写的，实在是太少！
For those still engrossed in the techniques, no one felt like reminding them either.
zhǐ 、 mò jiē shì yòng zhī bù jìn ， hěn kuài lǐ fán jiù jiāng shǒu shàng zhè běn chāo lù wán bì 。
纸、墨皆是用之不尽，很快李凡就将手上这本抄录完毕。
Days passed as they continued this tedious task of copying.
jiāng qí fàng huí shū jià ， yòu chóng xīn tiāo le yī běn 。
将其放回书架，又重新挑了一本。
Without previous lessons, none dared to use magical power to cheat.
lǐ fán zhè fān háo wú liú liàn de zuò pài ， yǐn qǐ le yī xiē rén de zhù yì 。
李凡这番毫无留恋的做派，引起了一些人的注意。
Soon enough, some couldn't bear it anymore and stopped for a rest.
tā men ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī hòu ， yě shì fàng qì le zhī qián cháng shì jì yì de xiǎng fǎ 。
他们若有所思之后，也是放弃了之前尝试记忆的想法。
Some closed their eyes to recover briefly before resuming their work, while others took a proper break before getting back to it.
zhǐ shì zhuān zhù yú chāo xiě 。
只是专注于抄写。
Li Fan didn't take any breaks at all.
ér duì yú nà xiē yī jiù chén zuì zài gōng fǎ zhōng de ， tā men yě dōu méi yǒu shén me hǎo xīn qù tí xǐng 。
而对于那些依旧沉醉在功法中的，他们也都没有什么好心去提醒。
There were only two or three like him who remained tireless.
……
……
They seemed to have exceptional endurance due to the cultivation techniques they practiced, showing no signs of fatigue even after prolonged periods without sleep.
shí jiān jiù zhè me yī tiān tiān guò qù 。
时间就这么一天天过去。
For Li Fan, he was simply pushing through with sheer willpower.
bù tíng dì chāo lù bì jìng shì yī jiàn kū zào ér yòu xīn kǔ de shì qíng 。
不停地抄录毕竟是一件枯燥而又辛苦的事情。
He knew that Qin Tang's evaluation for this first test wasn't just based on the number and accuracy of copied techniques but also on how long one could focus from the moment they picked up their pen until they put it down.
yǒu le zhī qián de jiào xùn ， shéi dōu bù gǎn yòng fǎ lì qǔ qiǎo 。
有了之前的教训，谁都不敢用法力取巧。
Just as Qin Tang had said, the test was about focus. Any interruption would be considered a break in concentration.
hěn kuài ， jiù yǒu jiān chí bù xià qù le 。
很快，就有坚持不下去了。
Li Fan's mind remained focused on copying the techniques, suppressing physical and mental fatigue.
rěn bú zhù tíng xià lái jìn xíng xiē xī 。
忍不住停下来进行歇息。
After an indeterminate amount of time,
yǒu de bì mù huí fù le piàn kè zhī hòu ， jiù mǎ shàng chóng xīn jìn xíng chāo xiě 。
有的闭目回复了片刻之后，就马上重新进行抄写。
"Ah, what a good sleep!" Qin Tang's voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
ér yǒu de zé shì hǎo hǎo chè dǐ xiū xī le yī fān ， cái chóng zhěng qí gǔ 。
而有的则是好好彻底休息了一番，才重整旗鼓。
He stretched, and the paper and pen in front of him vanished.
ér lǐ fán ， zé shì yī kè yě bù céng xiū xī 。
而李凡，则是一刻也不曾休息。
"Time is up. Let me see how you performed."
xiàng lǐ fán zhè bān bù zhī pí juàn de ， yě hái yǒu liǎng sān rén 。
像李凡这般不知疲倦的，也还有两三人。
"Zzzt, zzzt, zzzt. Truly getting worse each year," with narrowed eyes, as if probing something, Qin Tang shook his head repeatedly.
tā men sì hū shì yóu yú xiū xíng gōng fǎ de yuán yīn ， běn shēn nài lì jīng shén jiù tè bié hǎo 。
他们似乎是由于修行功法的原因，本身耐力精神就特别好。
"Huh? Wait..."
jí biàn bù mián bù xiū hěn zhǎng shí jiān ， yě dōu kàn bù chū shén me yì yàng 。
即便不眠不休很长时间，也都看不出什么异样。
"There's some interest here."
lǐ fán zé shì chún cuì de sǐ chēng zhe le 。
李凡则是纯粹的死撑着了。
It seemed he had discovered something and glanced at Li Fan, a smile appearing on his lips.
yīn wèi tā qīng chǔ ， zhè yī guān qín táng de píng jià ， chú le hé chāo lù gōng fǎ de duō shǎo 、 yǐ jí chū xiàn cuò wù de cì shù yǒu guān zhī wài 。
因为他清楚，这一关秦堂的评价，除了和抄录功法的多少、以及出现错误的次数有关之外。
However, Qin Tang didn't say anything. He quickly turned away.
hái yǒu yí gè hěn zhòng yào de píng pàn yī jù ， jiù shì cóng ná qǐ bǐ nà yī kè suàn qǐ ， dào fàng xià bǐ wéi zhǐ ， chí xù de shí jiān yǒu duō zhǎng 。
还有一个很重要的评判依据，就是从拿起笔那一刻算起，到放下笔为止，持续的时间有多长。
"The first test is over now. Everyone will have a rest day tomorrow. The second test begins the day after."
zhèng rú qín táng zhī qián suǒ shuō ， zhè yī guān de kǎo yàn ， nǎi shì zhuān 。
正如秦堂之前所说，这一关的考验，乃是专。
With a clap of his hands, Li Fan felt the surroundings change before his eyes.
jì rán kāi shǐ chāo lù gōng fǎ ， nà me wú lùn yīn hé yuán yīn ér tíng xià ， dōu suàn shì “ zhuān ” bèi dǎ duàn le 。
既然开始抄录功法，那么无论因何原因而停下，都算是“专”被打断了。
In an instant, he was back in the grand building where he had been sleeping.
lǐ fán xīn wú páng wù ， chén jìn zài gōng fǎ de chāo lù zhōng 。
李凡心无旁骛，沉浸在功法的抄录中。
Qin Tang didn't reappear.
shēn xīn de pí juàn quán dōu bèi qiáng xīn yā xià 。
身心的疲倦全都被强心压下。
The cultivators finally relaxed, their faces aglow as they exchanged excitedly.
bù zhī guò le duō jiǔ 。
不知过了多久。
"This is truly a great opportunity. I copied and memorized a total of fifteen techniques. Most are Golden Core techniques, with a few Foundation Establishment ones."
“ āi yā ， kě zhēn shì shuì le gè hǎo jué a ！” qín táng de shēng yīn dǒu rán zài ěr biān xiǎng qǐ 。
“哎呀，可真是睡了个好觉啊！”秦堂的声音陡然在耳边响起。
"I also managed to copy quite a lot."
tā shēn le gè lǎn yāo ， lǐ fán miàn qián de zhǐ bǐ yě suí zhī xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
他伸了个懒腰，李凡面前的纸笔也随之消失不见。
"What use is it to copy so much? Just hope to survive long enough to leave."
“ shí jiān dào ， ràng wǒ kàn kàn nǐ men de biǎo xiàn rú hé 。”
“时间到，让我看看你们的表现如何。”
"That's not entirely true. With my abilities, I would have stopped at Foundation Establishment Realm if nothing else happened. Now, actually getting a glimpse of the mysteries behind cultivating an infant, even if I die tomorrow, it won't be in vain!"
“ zé zé zé ， zhēn shì yī nián bù rú yī nián a 。” shuāng mù wēi mī ， sì hū zài chá tàn zhe xiē shén me ， qín táng lián lián yáo tóu 。
“啧啧啧，真是一年不如一年啊。”双目微眯，似乎在查探着些什么，秦堂连连摇头。
"Brother Daoist, your words resonate with me."
“ yí ， děng děng ……”
“咦，等等……”
"Good advice to no avail on the dead, humph!"
“ yǒu diǎn yì si 。”
“有点意思。”
Apart from arguments, some cultivators also started eyeing the belongings of those who had died.
sì hū fā xiàn le shén me ， tā cháo lǐ fán zhè biān piē le yī yǎn ， zuǐ jiǎo yǒng xiàn chū yī sī xiào yì 。
似乎发现了什么，他朝李凡这边撇了一眼，嘴角涌现出一丝笑意。
Unfortunately for them, after checking, they all wore disappointed expressions.
bù guò qín táng dào yě méi shuō shén me ， hěn kuài jiù shōu huí le mù guāng 。
不过秦堂倒也没说什么，很快就收回了目光。
Li Fan heard a nearby person snicker, "Don't even think about it. I checked last night. After being killed by that Qin Tang, everything in their storage rings and magical tools vanished without a trace."
“ dì yī zhòng kǎo yàn xiàn zài jié shù 。 míng tiān dà jiā xiū xī yī tiān 。 hòu tiān kāi shǐ dì èr chóng kǎo yàn 。”
“第一重考验现在结束。明天大家休息一天。后天开始第二重考验。”
Li Fan shook his head and was just about to return for some rest when he inadvertently saw a corpse and paused, taken aback.
All the cultivators in the room simultaneously had a thought.
This time, it's finally happening.
Just by looking at this first layer, there are more than ten thousand techniques!
Even if they just copy some of them, it would be enough to offset years of hard work.
A wave of greed rose from within the cultivators' hearts.
Although these cultivators were already eyeing the techniques on the shelves with great desire, they hesitated due to Qin Tang's previous authority and didn't dare to act rashly.

So many techniques, actually allowing them to copy freely?
As long as they could memorize a few techniques, even if there were no further gains afterward, this adventure was worth it.
Without paying attention to the reactions of the cultivators present,
Qin Tang casually pointed his finger, and several dozen sets of desks and chairs appeared in the study.
Each desk had inkstones, brushes, paper, and ink ready for them.
"With that said, begin. I hope you won't disappoint me," Qin Tang took out a wine gourd from somewhere and drank another swig before leaning against the wall as if sleeping.
