qǔ le líng shā , lǐ fán cóng dòng kū zhōng lí kāi , fǎn huí hǎi miàn 。
取了灵砂,李凡从洞窟中离开,返回海面。
Taking the spirit sand, Li Fan left the cave and returned to the sea surface.
cái liào yǐ jīng qí quán , jiē xià lái jiù yào zhuó shǒu liàn zhì fēn shēn le 。
材料已经齐全,接下来就要着手炼制分身了。
The materials were now complete. The next step was to start refining his clone.
zì rán shì bù néng zài wàn xiān méng tiān xuán jìng yǎn pí zi dǐ xià jìn xíng de 。
自然是不能在万仙盟天玄镜眼皮子底下进行的。
Of course, he couldn't do this under the nose of the Wanxian Alliance's Ten Thousand Immortal Mirror.
lǐ fán xiǎng le xiǎng , jì xù cháo zhe xī fāng fēi xíng 。
李凡想了想,继续朝着西方飞行。
Li Fan thought for a moment before continuing westward in flight.
zài nà lǐ , yī zuò wú rén xiǎo dǎo shàng , yǒu yī zuò sī kōng yí céng jīng kāi pì de dòng fǔ 。
在那里,一座无人小岛上,有一座司空宜曾经开辟的洞府。
There, on an uninhabited island, there was a cave that Si Kong Yi had once opened up.
bèi tā yòng tōu tiān huàn rì zōng de shǒu duàn jìn xíng le zhē yǎn , yì bān xiū shì nán yǐ chá jué 。
被他用偷天换日宗的手段进行了遮掩,一般修士难以察觉。
Using techniques from the Steal Heaven and Change Sun sect to conceal it, most cultivators would find it hard to notice.
sī kōng yí yě jiù shì duǒ zài nà lǐ liàn zhì le zì jǐ de fēn shēn 。
司空宜也就是躲在那里炼制了自己的分身。
Si Kong Yi had hidden away in this cave to refine his own clone.
jì rú cǐ , lǐ fán yě suǒ xìng qián wǎng nà chù dòng fǔ 。
既如此,李凡也索性前往那处洞府。
Given this, Li Fan decided to head for that cave as well.
yòu fēi xíng le liǎng rì guāng jǐng , yǐ jīng kuài jiē jìn wú rén dǎo le 。
又飞行了两日光景,已经快接近无人岛了。
Flying for another two days, he was nearing the uninhabited island.
lǐ fán què yǐn yuē chá jué dào dǎo shàng yǒu rén cún zài , dāng xià xīn zhōng yī lǐn , yǐn bì shēn xíng , qiāo qiāo qián fú guò qù 。
李凡却隐约察觉到岛上有人存在,当下心中一凛,隐蔽身形,悄悄潜伏过去。
However, Li Fan sensed someone on the island. His heart tightened, and he concealed his form before quietly creeping over.
“ qí guài , yīng gāi shì zài zhè zuò dǎo shàng de a 。”
“奇怪,应该是在这座岛上的啊。”
"Strange, they should be on this island."
yuǎn yuǎn chuán lái de shēng yīn yǒu xiē shú xī 。
远远传来的声音有些熟悉。
A voice from afar sounded familiar.
lǐ fán dìng jīng yī kàn , nà guǐ guǐ suì suì de mú yàng , zhèng shì jiāo xiū yuǎn 。
李凡定睛一看,那鬼鬼祟祟的模样,正是焦修远。
Li Fan looked closely and saw Jiao Xiuyuan's sneaky figure. He was scratching his head with one hand while staring at a rectangular object in the other.
tā yī biān zuǒ shǒu náo tóu , yī biān dīng zhe yòu shǒu lǐ sì sì fāng fāng de wù jiàn 。
他一边左手挠头,一边盯着右手里四四方方的物件。
The item resembled a compass but had more intricate patterns and lines.
nà wù pǐn kàn shàng qù rú tóng luó pán yì bān , zhǐ shì shàng miàn de tiáo wén 、 fú hào fù zá le xǔ duō 。
那物品看上去如同罗盘一般,只是上面的条纹、符号复杂了许多。
Red light emanated from it, spreading around before returning and making a "beep" sound.
yī dào hóng guāng zì shàng miàn jī fā , cháo zhe zhōu wéi kuò sàn 。
一道红光自上面激发,朝着周围扩散。
"It can't be... I should have found the right place. But why isn't this spirit identification disk working?"
mò guò duō jiǔ fǎn huí , fā chū “ bì ” de shēng xiǎng 。
没过多久返回,发出“哔”的声响。
Jiao Xiuyuan was puzzled.
“ méi kě néng a , yīng gāi méi zhǎo cuò dì fāng 。 kě shì zhè biàn líng pán zěn me méi xiào guǒ ?”
“没可能啊,应该没找错地方。可是这辨灵盘怎么没效果?”
"You're looking for something..." Li Fan suddenly spoke up.
jiāo xiū yuǎn yǒu xiē nà mèn 。
焦修远有些纳闷。
Startled, Jiao Xiuyuan almost dropped his spirit identification disk.
“ nǐ zài zhǎo shén me ……” jiù zài zhè shí , lǐ fán de shēng yīn dǒu rán xiǎng qǐ 。
“你在找什么……”就在这时,李凡的声音陡然响起。
"Friend Daoist Si Kong?" he turned to look at the figure hidden by a concealment talisman, asking tentatively.
jiāo xiū yuǎn xià le yī tiào , shǒu zhōng de biàn líng pán chà diǎn diào zài dì shàng 。
焦修远吓了一跳,手中的辨灵盘差点掉在地上。
"Were you sending someone to secretly follow us so that when I wasn't around, they could sneak into my cave?" Li Fan said coldly, his tone not friendly at all.
“ sī kōng dào yǒu ?” tā zhuǎn guò tóu lái , kàn zhe qián fāng tū rán chū xiàn de , bèi cáng xíng fú zhē yǎn 、 kàn bù qīng yàng mào de rén yǐng , shì tàn de wèn dào 。
“司空道友?”他转过头来,看着前方突然出现的,被藏形符遮掩、看不清样貌的人影,试探的问道。
Jiao Xiuyuan laughed nervously: "Misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding."
“ zhī qián nǐ pài rén guǐ guǐ suì suì gēn zōng wǒ men , jiù shì wèi le xiǎng chèn wǒ bù zài , qián rù wǒ de dòng fǔ ?” lǐ fán lěng shēng dào , yǔ qì bù shàn 。
“之前你派人鬼鬼祟祟跟踪我们,就是为了想趁我不在,潜入我的洞府?”李凡冷声道,语气不善。
He quickly asked, "Where is Daoist Bai Li?"
jiāo xiū yuǎn dǎ le gè hā hā :“ wù huì , dōu shì wù huì 。”
焦修远打了个哈哈:“误会,都是误会。”
Li Fan didn't answer but instead took out the Green Wood Purple Fire Array Diagram and enveloped Jiao Xiuyuan in it.
tā yǎn jīng zhuǎn le zhuǎn , lián máng wèn dào :“ bù zhī bǎi lǐ dào yǒu hé zài ?”
他眼睛转了转,连忙问道:“不知百里道友何在?”
Purple fire flickered, and with a scream, Jiao Xiuyuan turned to ashes.
lǐ fán bù dá , zhí jiē ná chū qīng mù zǐ huǒ zhèn tú , jiāng jiāo xiū yuǎn zhào zhù 。
李凡不答,直接拿出青木紫火阵图,将焦修远罩住。
The air carried the smell of burnt wood.
zǐ huǒ shǎn yào , jiāo xiū yuǎn zài cǎn jiào shēng zhōng , huà zuò fēi huī 。
紫火闪耀,焦修远在惨叫声中,化作飞灰。
"Sure enough, just a puppet."
kōng qì zhōng , lèi sì yú shù mù shāo jiāo de wèi dào chuán lái 。
空气中,类似于树木烧焦的味道传来。
Unsurprised, Li Fan used the Steal Heaven and Change Sun诀 to sense the hidden cave on the island.
“ guǒ rán hái shì kuǐ lěi 。”
“果然还是傀儡。”
He flew over and stopped in front of an ordinary-looking coconut tree.
lǐ fán yě bù yì wài , kàn zhe xià fāng de wú rén dǎo , yùn zhuàn qǐ le tōu tiān huàn rì jué 。
李凡也不意外,看着下方的无人岛,运转起了偷天换日诀。
Gently touching it, he felt a pull from his aura. He let go of his resistance and entered the tree.
yǐn yǐn gǎn yìng dào dǎo yǔ de cóng lín zhōng yǐn cáng dòng fǔ de cún zài 。
隐隐感应到岛屿的丛林中隐藏洞府的存在。
Though called a cave, it was quite simple—barely enough for two people to live comfortably without feeling cramped.
fēi shēn qián wǎng , zài yī kē kàn shàng qù píng fán wú bǐ de yē shù miàn qián tíng le xià lái 。
飞身前往,在一颗看上去平凡无比的椰树面前停了下来。
There wasn't much valuable stuff inside either.
qīng qīng chù pèng , qì xī yìn zhèng zhī xià , lǐ fán gǎn dào yī zhèn xī lì 。
轻轻触碰,气息印证之下,李凡感到一阵吸力。
But Li Fan only needed this place as a temporary hideout, so he didn't worry about Jiao Xiuyuan retaliating.
fàng kāi kàng jù , dé yǐ jìn rù shù zhōng 。
放开抗拒,得以进入树中。
After all, the attempt to sneak into someone else's cave was his own dishonorable act. And here was far from any major settlements; even if Jiao Xiuyuan wanted revenge, by the time he traveled miles to get here, Li Fan would have already refined his clone and left.
shuō shì dòng fǔ , qí shí shí fēn jiǎn lòu 。 zhǐ néng miǎn qiǎng róng nà xià liǎng rén qǐ jū ér bù xián yōng jǐ 。
说是洞府,其实十分简陋。只能勉强容纳下两人起居而不嫌拥挤。
Li Fan didn't dwell on these trivial matters as he took out all the necessary materials, focused his mind, and began refining them.
lǐ miàn yě dōu méi shén me zhí qián de dōng xī 。
里面也都没什么值钱的东西。
For this clone refinement, Li Fan wasn't planning to spend much effort or steal other cultivators' lifespans.
bù guò lǐ fán yě zhǐ shì jiè zhè dì fāng yī yòng bà le , méi xǔ duō jiǎng jiū 。
不过李凡也只是借这地方一用罢了,没许多讲究。
His plan was for this clone to just distract others and get the 100,000 contribution points. This clone would stay behind to watch over the Crimson Flame Sea's destruction.
yě bù dān xīn nà jiāo xiū yuǎn bào fù 。
也不担心那焦修远报复。
Since he knew they were both destined to die anyway, there was no need to be too meticulous.
bì jìng yù tōu rù bié rén dòng fǔ zhī shì , shì tā zuò de bù guāng cǎi 。
毕竟欲偷入别人洞府之事,是他做的不光彩。
The refinement began. Li Fan took his own blood and used it as a core to control the myriad beast blood and hundred beasts' flesh, mixing them until they formed a human shape.
zài zhě cǐ chù shí fēn piān yuǎn , jiù suàn tā xiǎng qián lái fù chóu , děng tā qiān lǐ tiáo tiáo gǎn guò lái , lǐ fán zǎo yǐ jīng liàn chéng fèn shēn lí qù le 。
再者此处十分偏远,就算他想前来复仇,等他千里迢迢赶过来,李凡早已经炼成分身离去了。
Next, he activated his technique, sensing the various lifespans scattered throughout the world.
lǐ fán bù zài qù xiǎng zhè xiē zá shì , jiāng suǒ xū cái liào jìn shù qǔ chū , bǐng qì níng shén , kāi shǐ liàn zhì 。
李凡不再去想这些杂事,将所需材料尽数取出,屏气凝神,开始炼制。
Most of these were from the plants and animals on nearby islands—weak but numerous in quantity.
zhè cì liàn zhì fēn shēn , lǐ fán bìng méi yǒu dǎ suàn huā fèi duō dà xīn xuè , qù chǐ duó bié de xiū shì de mìng shù 。
这次炼制分身,李凡并没有打算花费多大心血,去褫夺别的修士的命数。
Li Fan carefully extracted a thread from each, gathering them together.
yīn wèi zài tā de jì huà lǐ , zhè jù fēn shēn zhǐ shì yòng lái mán tiān guò hǎi , xī yǐn zhòng rén shì xiàn , jiāng shí wàn gòng xiàn dù nòng dào shǒu de 。
因为在他的计划里,这具分身只是用来瞒天过海,吸引众人视线,将十万贡献度弄到手的。
As more lifespans were taken, Li Fan found it increasingly difficult to control them. He knew he shouldn't be too greedy or risk a backlash from the lifespans.
zhè jù fēn shēn yě shì yào liú xià lái , jìng kàn chì yán fén hǎi de 。
这具分身也是要留下来,静看赤炎焚海的。
When he felt his control had reached its limit, he injected this new blank lifespan into the mass of flesh before him.
jì rán zuì zhōng dōu nán táo yī sǐ , yě jiù bù yòng nà me jiǎng jiū 。
既然最终都难逃一死,也就不用那么讲究。
Instantly, a faint vitality emerged.
liàn zhì kāi shǐ 。
炼制开始。
The refinement was mostly complete, and Li Fan added the remaining materials—bones, organs, skin, hair...
lǐ fán qǔ chū le zì jǐ de yī tuán jīng xuè , yǐ qí wèi hé xīn , kòng zhì zhe wàn shēng xuè 、 bǎi shòu ròu , jiāng qí hùn hé níng jù , niē chéng rén xíng 。
李凡取出了自己的一团精血,以其为核心,控制着万牲血、百兽肉,将其混合凝聚,捏成人形。
All slowly took shape.
suí hòu yùn zhuàn gōng fǎ , gǎn yìng zhe tiān dì jiān yóu lí de zhǒng zhǒng mìng shù 。
随后运转功法,感应着天地间游离的种种命数。
Then, Li Fan adjusted the clone's appearance. It wasn't too handsome or ugly; just an ordinary face that could blend into a crowd easily.
zhè xiē yóu lí mìng shù , duō shì shǔ yú zhōu wéi hǎi dǎo shàng de dòng zhí wù 。
这些游离命数,多是属于周围海岛上的动植物。
After a moment, a呆滞的面庞 appeared before him. Li Fan stared at it for half a minute and nodded in satisfaction.
gè gè dōu hěn wēi ruò 。
个个都很微弱。
The final step was to sever the connection between this new lifespan and its source.
dàn shù liàng jí duō 。
但数量极多。
With the clone finally complete, Li Fan looked at his creation.
lǐ fán xiǎo xīn yì yì de cóng zhè xiē yóu lí mìng shù zhōng gè zhuàn qǔ yī sī , huì jù zài yī chù 。
李凡小心翼翼的从这些游离命数中各撰取一丝,汇聚在一处。
Having an extra body meant having a new perspective.
suí zhe zhuàn qǔ mìng shù de zēng duō , lǐ fán de cāo zòng yě yuè fā chī lì qǐ lái 。
随着撰取命数的增多,李凡的操纵也越发吃力起来。
This feeling...
zhī dào bù néng tài guò tān xīn , fǒu zé ruò shì shī kòng , jiāng huì yǐn qǐ mìng shù fǎn shì 。
知道不能太过贪心,否则若是失控,将会引起命数反噬。
Was somewhat peculiar.
dāng gǎn dào zì jǐ néng gòu kòng zhì de mìng shù yǐ jīng dá dào jí xiàn zhī hòu , lǐ fán biàn bù zài cháo qí zēng jiā 。
当感到自己能够控制的命数已经达到极限之后,李凡便不再朝其增加。
Controlling the clone as he walked, lay down, stood up, and sat down.
jiāng zhè dào quán xīn de kòng bái mìng shù dǎ rù jìn qián fāng de nà tuán xuè ròu zhī zhōng 。
将这道全新的空白命数打入进前方的那团血肉之中。
After some time, Li Fan gradually adapted to it. He took out clothes from his storage ring and had the clone put them on.
dùn shí , yī gǔ shēng jī zì qí shàng yǐn yǐn fú xiàn 。
顿时,一股生机自其上隐隐浮现。
The clone bowed: "Met Daoist!"
liàn zhì guò chéng yǐ jīng chéng gōng le dà bàn , lǐ fán yòu jiāng qí yú cái liào xiān hòu tiān jiā jìn qù 。
炼制过程已经成功了大半,李凡又将其余材料先后添加进去。
The original smiled: "From now on, you'll be called Lin Fan!"
gǔ gé 、 zàng qì 、 pí fū 、 máo fà ……
骨骼、脏器、皮肤、毛发……
"Agreed!"
jiē màn màn chéng xíng 。
皆慢慢成型。
Clone Lin Fan was one level lower than the original, only at the middle-stage Qi Condensation realm. He hadn't practiced any technique; he just had a rank without cultivation.
suí hòu lǐ fán tiáo zhěng zhe fēn shēn de wài guān 。
随后李凡调整着分身的外观。
Since the clone was complete, the next step was to have him join the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.
jì méi yǒu tài yīng jùn , yě méi yǒu tài chǒu lòu 。
既没有太英俊,也没有太丑陋。
There was no need for Li Fan to recommend him.
píng fán de dà zhòng liǎn , zài rén duī lǐ yī yǎn nán yǐ fā xiàn de nà zhǒng 。
平凡的大众脸,在人堆里一眼难以发现的那种。
Lin Fan took out the Cloud Water Scroll from his storage ring and flew towards Lingyun Island while Li Fan followed secretly in case of any unexpected incidents.
piàn kè zhī hòu , yī zhāng shén sè dāi zhì de miàn páng chū xiàn zài yǎn qián 。
片刻之后,一张神色呆滞的面庞出现在眼前。
Fortunately, nothing unusual happened.
lǐ fán zǐ xì dīng le bàn shǎng , mǎn yì de diǎn diǎn tóu 。
李凡仔细盯了半晌,满意的点点头。
After meeting with Lingyun Island's guardian, Lin Fan requested to join the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. The other party had no objections.
jiē zhe , biàn shì zuì hòu yī bù le 。
接着,便是最后一步了。
Following a familiar procedure, Lin Fan arrived at the Ten Thousand Immortal Island and opened his Ten Thousand Immortal Mirror space.
lǐ fán jí zhōng jīng shén , cháo zhe fēn shēn tóu dǐng yī zhǐ 。
李凡集中精神,朝着分身头顶一指。
Li Fan returned to the Ten Thousand Immortal Island but didn't meet with Lin Fan.
“ zhǎn !”
“斩!”
Lin Fan took out the Cloud Water Scroll and chose to complete the 100,000 contribution points task.
jiāng fēn shēn mìng shù hé qí lái yuán de lián xì zhǎn duàn 。
将分身命数和其来源的联系斩断。
Meanwhile, Li Fan concentrated on sensing Lin Fan's situation.
fēn shēn zhōng yú zì chéng yī tǐ 。
分身终于自成一体。
The Ten Thousand Immortal Mirror remained silent for a much longer time than usual before finally speaking up.
lǐ fán hé fēn shēn hù xiāng kàn zhe bǐ cǐ 。
李凡和分身互相看着彼此。
"Unable to verify the authenticity of the Cloud Water Scroll, please wait."
duō le yí gè shēn tǐ , duō le yí gè quán xīn de shì jiǎo 。
多了一个身体,多了一个全新的视角。
...
zhè zhǒng gǎn jué ……
这种感觉……
"Task issuer... requests a visit to your space, do you accept?"
yǒu diǎn qí miào 。
有点其妙。
Lin Fan was taken aback but agreed.
cāo zòng zhe fēn shēn , zǒu 、 wò 、 zhàn 、 lì 。
操纵着分身,走、卧、站、立。
Shortly after, an elderly man with white hair and a kind face appeared in front of Lin Fan.
guò le huì , lǐ fán cái màn màn shì yìng 。
过了会,李凡才慢慢适应。
The old man gave off no cultivator aura at all; he looked like an ordinary person.
Taking the spirit sand, Li Fan left the cave and returned to the sea surface.
The materials were now complete. The next step was to start refining his clone.
Of course, he couldn't do this under the nose of the Wanxian Alliance's Ten Thousand Immortal Mirror.
Li Fan thought for a moment before continuing westward in flight.
There, on an uninhabited island, there was a cave that Si Kong Yi had once opened up.
Using techniques from the Steal Heaven and Change Sun sect to conceal it, most cultivators would find it hard to notice.
Si Kong Yi had hidden away in this cave to refine his own clone.
Given this, Li Fan decided to head for that cave as well.
Flying for another two days, he was nearing the uninhabited island.
However, Li Fan sensed someone on the island. His heart tightened, and he concealed his form before quietly creeping over.
"Strange, they should be on this island."
A voice from afar sounded familiar.

The item resembled a compass but had more intricate patterns and lines.
Red light emanated from it, spreading around before returning and making a "beep" sound.
"It can't be... I should have found the right place. But why isn't this spirit identification disk working?"
Jiao Xiuyuan was puzzled.
"You're looking for something..." Li Fan suddenly spoke up.
Startled, Jiao Xiuyuan almost dropped his spirit identification disk.
"Friend Daoist Si Kong?" he turned to look at the figure hidden by a concealment talisman, asking tentatively.

Jiao Xiuyuan laughed nervously: "Misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding."
He quickly asked, "Where is Daoist Bai Li?"
Li Fan didn't answer but instead took out the Green Wood Purple Fire Array Diagram and enveloped Jiao Xiuyuan in it.
Purple fire flickered, and with a scream, Jiao Xiuyuan turned to ashes.
