“ bù guò què bù néng gēn wǒ xiāng tí bìng lùn 。”
“不过却不能跟我相提并论。”
"However, it can't be compared to me."
fēn shēn jì shào lí shuāng mù shǎn dòng ， gēn jù qián jǐ shì de jīng lì ， jiē lián chū shǒu 、 shùn jiān huā qù le wǔ shí wàn 。
分身季绍离双目闪动，根据前几世的经历，接连出手、瞬间花去了五十万。
Season Jiaoli's doppelgänger's eyes flashed. Based on his experiences from previous lives, he consecutively launched attacks and spent fifty thousand points of contribution in a moment.
jiāng gòng xiàn dù quán dōu duì huàn chéng le ， zài jīn hòu yī duàn shí jiān nèi ， jí jiāng kuài sù shēng zhí de nà xiē wù zī 。
将贡献度全都兑换成了，在今后一段时间内，即将快速升值的那些物资。
He converted all the contributions into supplies that would rapidly appreciate in value over time.
“ ń ， kàn lái jiǔ shān zhōu de xiàn luò ， zhōng jiū shì chǎn shēng le xiē yǐng xiǎng 。”
“嗯，看来九山州的陷落，终究是产生了些影响。”
"Ah, it seems the fall of Jiushan Province has had some impact."
“ yī xiē shāng pǐn jià gé de zǒu shì ， yǐ jīng yǒu suǒ bù tóng le 。 yǒu de tí qián bào fā ， yǒu de chū xiàn le zhī qián méi yǒu de biǎn zhí 。”
“一些商品价格的走势，已经有所不同了。有的提前爆发，有的出现了之前没有的贬值。”
"The trends for certain goods have changed. Some prices are rising earlier than expected, while others are depreciating for the first time."
fēn shēn zài tiān xuán xiǎo jìng shàng cāo zuò 。
分身在天玄小镜上操作。
The doppelgänger operated on the Heavenly Xuan Small Mirror.
ér yī dào yōu guāng ， zé shì gé jué zhāo tiān xuán xiǎo jìng 。
而一道幽光，则是隔绝着天玄小镜。
A faint light then sealed off the small mirror, preventing it from sensing anything outside.
shǐ tā wú fǎ gǎn zhī dào wài jiè de yī qiè 。
使它无法感知到外界的一切。
Another million points of contribution were spent to purchase a variety of common items in bulk.
yòu huā le bǎi wàn gòng xiàn dù ， dà sì cǎi gòu le yī xiē cháng yòng wù pǐn 。
又花了百万贡献度，大肆采购了一些常用物品。
Only after putting these away did Li Fan quietly leave Haixuan Island.
jiāng qí shōu qǐ hòu ， lǐ fán zhè cái qiǎo rán lí kāi le hǎi xuān dǎo 。
将其收起后，李凡这才悄然离开了海轩岛。
The doppelgänger remained seated but contacted He Zhenghao.
fēn shēn zuò zhèn bù dòng ， què shì lián xì qǐ le hé zhèng hào lái 。
分身坐镇不动，却是联系起了何正浩来。
Indeed, Jiaoli Season also knew He Zhenghao. After all, He Daoist had many acquaintances and they were all within the Cunyun Sea, so it wasn't unusual for them to know each other.
méi cuò ， zhè jì shào lí yě gēn hé zhèng hào xiāng shí 。
没错，这季绍离也跟何正浩相识。
However, their acquaintance was only superficial.
bì jìng hé dào yǒu jiāo yǒu guǎng fàn ， dà jiā yòu dōu tóng zài cóng yún hǎi nèi ， hù xiāng rèn shí yě bù xī qí 。
毕竟何道友交友广泛，大家又都同在丛云海内，互相认识也不稀奇。
"Daoist He, how are you?"
bù guò zhǐ shì shù miàn zhī yuán ， jiāo qíng bù shēn 。
不过只是数面之缘，交情不深。
"Would you be willing to visit Haixuan Island?"
“ hé dào yǒu ， jìn lái kě hǎo ？”
“何道友，近来可好？”
This wasn't just directed at He Zhenghao. The doppelgänger extended an invitation to any cultivators he had some connection with from his memories.
“ kě yuàn yì lái hǎi xuān dǎo shàng yī jù ？”
“可愿意来海轩岛上一聚？”
...
bù jǐn jǐn shì duì hé zhèng hào 。
不仅仅是对何正浩。
"While pushing the conflict between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association, we can't neglect our research on [Establishing My Foundation]."
fēn shēn duì jì yì zhōng fán shì yǒu xiē jiāo qíng de xiū shì ， dōu fā chū le yàn huì yāo qǐng 。
分身对记忆中凡是有些交情的修士，都发出了宴会邀请。
"After all, this is what truly shakes the foundation of transmission techniques."
……
……
After leaving Haixuan Island, Li Fan's gaze flickered as he headed straight for Yin Yin Island.
“ tuī dòng wàn xiān méng gēn wǔ lǎo huì huǒ bìng de tóng shí ， duì yú 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī 】 de yán jiū ， yě bù néng là xià 。”
“推动万仙盟跟五老会火并的同时，对于【以我筑基】的研究，也不能落下。”
Upon arrival, he didn't act rashly. Instead, he carefully observed his surroundings.
“ bì jìng zhè cái shì ， zhēn zhèng néng hàn dòng chuán fǎ gēn jī de shì qíng 。”
“毕竟这才是，真正能撼动传法根基的事情。”
He faintly heard the cries of humans from within the island.
chū le hǎi xuān dǎo hòu ， lǐ fán mù guāng shǎn dòng zhōng ， rào lù zhí bēn yīn yīn dǎo ér qù 。
出了海轩岛后，李凡目光闪动中，绕路直奔殷殷岛而去。
Clearly, he was still researching the mysteries of Immortal-Demon Mist.
dào dá zhī hòu ， méi yǒu qīng jǔ wàng dòng 。
到达之后，没有轻举妄动。
The small dog with eyes that flowed in its belly was running around with a white rib bone in its mouth, seemingly very happy.
ér shì xiān zǐ xì guān chá le yī fān 。
而是先仔细观察了一番。
"Upstairs Master, it took three years to successfully establish my foundation using myself."
yī xī kě yǐ tīng jiàn ， cóng dǎo shàng yǐn yǐn chuán lái de fán rén de hū háo shēng 。
依稀可以听见，从岛上隐隐传来的凡人的呼嚎声。
"It happened not long ago."
xiǎn rán tā yī jiù shì zài yán jiū xiān fán zhàng de ào mì 。
显然他依旧是在研究仙凡瘴的奥秘。
Li Fan pondered and cautiously transmitted his voice: "Is Daoist Yin here?"
nà zhǐ fù bù yǒu yǎn jīng liú dòng de xiǎo gǒu ， zuǐ lǐ diāo zhe yī gēn bái lèi gǔ ， zài dǎo shàng sā tuǐ kuáng pǎo 。
那只腹部有眼睛流动的小狗，嘴里叼着一根白肋骨，在岛上撒腿狂跑。
The scene of fighting against Upstairs Master Yin from the previous life was still vivid in his mind. Even with his countless techniques and divine methods, he found himself helpless against Upstairs Master Yin.
sì hū shí fēn gāo xìng 。
似乎十分高兴。
It was only after using the Chaos Technique that he managed to kill him.
“ yīn shàng rén ， shì máo dìng 3 nián cái chéng gōng yǐ wǒ zhù jī 。”
“殷上人，是锚定3年才成功以我筑基。”
In this life, Li Fan wouldn't easily use the Chaos Technique to avoid disturbing the transmission process. Moreover, he hoped for Upstairs Master Yin's help in spreading [Establishing My Foundation]...
“ gāng gāng guò qù bù jiǔ 。”
“刚刚过去不久。”
If possible, he would persuade him with words.
lǐ fán sī suǒ zhe ， bù gǎn tuō dà ， chuán yīn dào ：“ yīn dào yǒu kě zài ？”
李凡思索着，不敢托大，传音道：“殷道友可在？”
"In. Please come inside!"
shàng yī shì ， gēn yīn shàng rén dòu fǎ de chǎng jǐng hái lì lì zài mù 。
上一世，跟殷上人斗法的场景还历历在目。
---
jí biàn shì yuán yīng xiū wèi 、 shén tōng mì fǎ wú shù de tā ， yě duì yīn shàng rén wú kě nài hé 。
即便是元婴修为、神通秘法无数的他，也对殷上人无可奈何。
The stone door of the island creaked open as Li Fan flew down.
hái shì zuì zhōng dòng yòng le luàn zì jué ， cái jiāng qí jī shā 。
还是最终动用了乱字诀，才将其击杀。
The man with the dog suddenly turned his head to stare at Li Fan, growling menacingly and full of suspicion.
cǐ shì wèi le bù jīng rǎo chuán fǎ ， lǐ fán bú huì qīng yì shī zhǎn luàn zì jué 。
此世为了不惊扰传法，李凡不会轻易施展乱字诀。
As soon as that mouth opened, the white rib bone tumbled to the ground.
kuàng qiě hái zhǐ wàng zhe duì fāng tì zì jǐ jiāng 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī 】 fǎ tuī yǎn xià qù ……
况且还指望着对方替自己将【以我筑基】法推衍下去……
Li Fan's gaze flickered and he snatched it up.
néng yán yǔ quàn shuō zuì hǎo 。
能言语劝说最好。
This rib came from the first cultivator named Su who was infected with Immortal-Demon Mist. In the 115th life, Li Fan had thrown it away, attracting the attention of a huge monster made of countless corpses in white mist, allowing him to escape.
“ zài 。 dào yǒu qǐng jìn ba ！”
“在。道友请进吧！”
Seeing his beloved item snatched, the man's eyes turned fierce.
dǎo shàng shí mén hōng rán dòng kāi ， lǐ fán fēi shēn là xià 。
岛上石门轰然洞开，李凡飞身落下。
However, after a quick glance from Li Fan, the dog seemed to be greatly shocked and instantly calmed down. It lowered its tail and slunk into one of the buildings on the island.
nà rén shǒu xiǎo gǒu hū de zhuǎn guò tóu lái ， dīng zhe lǐ fán 。
那人手小狗忽的转过头来，盯着李凡。
Li Fan chuckled and followed it inside.
fā chū wēi xié shì de páo xiāo shēng ， yǎn zhōng mǎn shì jǐng tì 。
发出威胁似的咆哮声，眼中满是警惕。
He wasn't unfamiliar with this place, so he quickly found Upstairs Master Yin, who was still staring at a human in a transparent cage, being tortured by experiments.
zhè zhāng zuǐ yī jiào ， nà gēn bái lèi gǔ jiù kuāng dāng diào zài le dì miàn shàng 。
这张嘴一叫，那根白肋骨就哐当掉在了地面上。
He didn't know what he was muttering about.
lǐ fán mù guāng yī dòng ， jiāng qí shè yú shǒu zhōng 。
李凡目光一动，将其摄于手中。
Li Fan threw the white rib bone over. Upstairs Master Yin instinctively caught it.
zhè gēn lèi gǔ ， lái zì yú dì yī wèi gǎn rǎn le xiān fán zhàng de sū xìng xiū shì 。
这根肋骨，来自于第一位感染了仙凡瘴的苏姓修士。
"This is..." He hesitated for a moment before firmly grasping it.
115 shì de shí hòu ， lǐ fán jiāng qí rēng chū ， hái xī yǐn le bái wù zhōng wú shù shī tǐ zǔ chéng de jù dà guài wù de zhù yì lì ， táo guò yī jié 。
115世的时候，李凡将其扔出，还吸引了白雾中无数尸体组成的巨大怪物的注意力，逃过一劫。
"Earlier, I found this small creature carrying this item at the door. I felt that there might be something special about this bone, so I think the little guy stole it to play with," Li Fan explained with a smile.
rén shǒu xiǎo gǒu jiàn zì jǐ xīn ài zhī wù bèi qiǎng ， yǎn shén biàn dé xiōng è qǐ lái 。
人手小狗见自己心爱之物被抢，眼神变得凶恶起来。
Upstairs Master Yin suddenly understood and harshly kicked the man with the dog.
rán ér lǐ fán wēi wēi miáo le tā yī yǎn hòu 。
然而李凡微微瞄了它一眼后。
He put away the white rib bone, his expression much gentler as he looked at Li Fan and asked, "What brings you here?"
tā què fǎng fú shòu dào le jí dà de jīng xià ， chà nà jiān shōu liǎn 。
它却仿佛受到了极大的惊吓，刹那间收敛。
Li Fan sized up the place. "This isn't a good place to talk..."
wěi ba dī chuí ， huī liū liū dì táo jìn dǎo shàng jiàn zhù nèi 。
尾巴低垂，灰溜溜地逃进岛上建筑内。
Upstairs Master Yin was taken aback but didn't dwell on it. He led Li Fan to a secret underground room.
lǐ fán qīng xiào yī shēng ， gēn suí tā jìn rù 。
李凡轻笑一声，跟随他进入。
As they walked through Upstairs Master Yin's collection corridor, he also introduced everything to Li Fan.
duì yú cǐ chù bìng bù mò shēng ， lǐ fán hěn kuài jiù zhǎo dào le yīn shàng rén 。
对于此处并不陌生，李凡很快就找到了殷上人。
To his surprise, Li Fan seemed well-versed in these items and could chime in occasionally.
gēn qián jǐ shì jiàn dào tā shí yī yàng ， tā yǒu xiē mó zhēng de zhèng dīng zhe tòu míng láo lóng zhōng ， bèi shì yàn zhé mó de fán rén 。
跟前几世见到他时一样，他有些魔怔的正盯着透明牢笼中，被试验折磨的凡人。
This delighted Upstairs Master Yin, who had few true companions, making him more amiable towards Li Fan.
zuǐ lǐ bù zhī dào zài ní nán zhe xiē shén me 。
嘴里不知道在呢喃着些什么。
He kicked the man with the dog again, giving it two cups of dark, swirling spirit fungi tea.
lǐ fán jiāng shǒu zhōng de bái lèi gǔ diū le guò qù ， yīn shàng rén xià yì shí jiē zhù 。
李凡将手中的白肋骨丢了过去，殷上人下意识接住。
Before Upstairs Master Yin could speak, Li Fan picked up one cup and drank it down without a flinch.
“ zhè shì ……” tā xiān shì yī lèng ， ér hòu sǐ sǐ yòng lì zhuā zhù 。
“这是……”他先是一愣，而后死死用力抓住。
"Good tea!" he even added with lingering satisfaction.
“ gāng cái zài mén kǒu ， fā xiàn zhè xiǎo dōng xī zuǐ lǐ diāo zhe cǐ wù 。 yǐn yǐn jué de zhè gēn gǔ tou yǒu xiē bù fán ， xiǎng lái shì xiǎo jiā huo tiáo pí ， jiāng tā tōu lái wán shuǎ de 。” lǐ fán wēi xiào zhe jiě shì dào 。
“刚才在门口，发现这小东西嘴里叼着此物。隐隐觉得这根骨头有些不凡，想来是小家伙调皮，将它偷来玩耍的。”李凡微笑着解释道。
This left Upstairs Master Yin somewhat surprised.
yīn shàng rén dùn shí huǎng rán ， hěn hěn tī le yī jiǎo rén shǒu xiǎo gǒu 。
殷上人顿时恍然，狠狠踢了一脚人手小狗。
"This secret room is quite hidden. Feel free to speak your mind," he said as he took a sip and spoke slowly.
jiāng bái lèi gǔ shōu qǐ 。
将白肋骨收起。
"Do you know about [Establishing My Foundation]?"
tā liǎn sè hé qì le xǔ duō ， kàn xiàng lǐ fán ， wèn dào ：“ bù zhī dào yǒu cǐ lái ， suǒ wèi hé shì ？”
他脸色和气了许多，看向李凡，问道：“不知道友此来，所为何事？”
Upstairs Master Yin was stunned when Li Fan's next words rang out.
lǐ fán zuǒ yòu dǎ liàng le yī fān ：“ zhè lǐ bú shì shuō huà de dì fāng ……”
李凡左右打量了一番：“这里不是说话的地方……”
"Ahem..." He coughed, put down his tea cup, and looked at Li Fan with an odd expression on his face.
yīn shàng rén dùn shí yǎ rán 。
殷上人顿时哑然。
"Do you come for [Establishing My Foundation]? I did speak to others about this matter before, but most found it absurd."
bù guò dào yě méi yǒu jiū jié ， lǐng zhe lǐ fán lái dào le dì xià mì shì 。
不过倒也没有纠结，领着李凡来到了地下密室。
He had only laughed it off. However, Li Fan was the first to visit him seriously.
zǒu guò yīn shàng rén de shōu cáng pǐn cháng láng ， tā yě wèi lǐ fán jiè shào zhe 。
走过殷上人的收藏品长廊，他也为李凡介绍着。
Moved by their shared understanding, Upstairs Master Yin couldn't help but persuade him: "But from what I see, you have already achieved the Golden Core realm. The method of establishing your foundation is still incomplete..."
ràng tā méi xiǎng dào de shì ， sì hū lǐ fán duì zhè xiē dōng xī yě pǒ yǒu shè liè 。
让他没想到的是，似乎李凡对这些东西也颇有涉猎。
However, as soon as Li Fan interrupted his sentence and spoke next, it was like a thunderclap.
shí bù shí yě néng jiē shàng liǎng jù 。
时不时也能接上两句。
"I was amazed when I first heard about your [Establishing My Foundation] technique. However, after careful consideration, I found significant flaws."
zhè ràng xǔ duō méi yǒu zhǎo dào zhī yīn de yīn shàng rén ， shí fēn jīng xǐ 。
这让许多没有找到知音的殷上人，十分惊喜。
"So, I put in great effort to complete it. I'm here today to share this with you and hope for your guidance on its imperfections."
duì yú lǐ fán de tài dù yě yuè fā hé shàn qǐ lái 。
对于李凡的态度也越发和善起来。
Upstairs Master Yin stood up abruptly.
yòu tī le rén shǒu xiǎo gǒu ， ràng tā shàng le liǎng bēi qī hēi 、 fān téng de líng qì jūn qún chá 。
又踢了人手小狗，让它上了两杯漆黑、翻腾的灵气菌群茶。
He stared at Li Fan, his eyes full of disbelief, even laughing: "You completed [Establishing My Foundation]? Daoist, don't play a joke on me..."
bù děng yīn shàng rén kāi kǒu ， lǐ fán biàn dà dà fāng fāng de jiāng qí ná qǐ ， yī yǐn ér jǐn 。
不等殷上人开口，李凡便大大方方的将其拿起，一饮而尽。
However, as soon as Li Fan recited the entire technique word by word, Upstairs Master Yin's smile vanished.
miàn bù gǎi sè 。
面不改色。
First, he was surprised.
“ hǎo chá ！” tā shèn zhì hái yǒu xiē yì yóu wèi jǐn dào 。
“好茶！”他甚至还有些意犹未尽道。
Then, solemn.
zhè gèng ràng yīn shàng rén gǎn dào yǒu xiē yì wài 。
这更让殷上人感到有些意外。
Finally, shocked.
“ cǐ chù mì shì ， pǒ wèi yǐn mì 。 dào yǒu yǒu shén me huà ， jǐn guǎn chàng suǒ yù yán 。” tā yě mǐn le yī kǒu ， huǎn huǎn shuō dào 。
“此处密室，颇为隐秘。道友有什么话，尽管畅所欲言。”他也抿了一口，缓缓说道。
When Li Fan finished explaining the complete Establishing My Foundation technique, Upstairs Master Yin's body began to uncontrollably tremble.
“ yīn dào yǒu ， kě zhī 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī 】？”
“殷道友，可知【以我筑基】？”
"How is that possible..."
xià yī kè ， lǐ fán de huà ràng tā lèng zhù dāng chǎng 。
下一刻，李凡的话让他愣住当场。
"How can this be possible..."
“ hāi hāi ……” qiāng zhù ké sòu le jǐ shēng ， yīn shàng rén fàng xià le chá bēi ， miàn sè yǒu xiē gǔ guài de kàn zhe lǐ fán 。
“咳咳……”呛住咳嗽了几声，殷上人放下了茶杯，面色有些古怪的看着李凡。
His eyes were filled with confusion as he tried to verify the feasibility of the Establishing My Foundation technique. However, no matter how he calculated, he only got one result: flawless and perfect.
“ dào yǒu nǐ shì wèi 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī 】 ér lái ？”
“道友你是为【以我筑基】而来？”
Upstairs Master Yin's legs gave out, and he stumbled to the ground. He pointed at Li Fan, trembling uncontrollably without saying a word for a long time.
"However, it can't be compared to me."
Season Jiaoli's doppelgänger's eyes flashed. Based on his experiences from previous lives, he consecutively launched attacks and spent fifty thousand points of contribution in a moment.
He converted all the contributions into supplies that would rapidly appreciate in value over time.
"Ah, it seems the fall of Jiushan Province has had some impact."
