时间一天天过去。
Days passed with time.
第七天中午。
On the afternoon of the seventh day.
修炼室的门打开，叶尘从中走了出来。
The door of the training area opened and Ye Chen stepped out of it.
“原来修炼室并不能久呆，随着时间的推移，地煞真火的火气会让人产生焦躁感，继续修炼下去，很可能走火入魔，产生不可预料的后果，也罢，暂且休息一段时间，顺便把浮罗三玄诀和破虚指练上来。”对叶尘而言，浮罗三玄诀很重要，只有速度快了，以后遇到危险才有机会逃脱，不至于上天无路入地无门。
“No wonder you can’t really stay long in the training area, as time elapses, the evil fire would cause people to get an anxious feeling, where any continued training could, and would produce an unhealthy obsession, giving unforeseen consequences. Although it would be worth mentioning that this might be a good time for a short rest, for which I could then practice the Three Floating Nets technique and also Breaking Reality.” To Ye Chen, the Three Floating Nets technique is very important, because once the right amount of speed is acquired, he could then have the chance to escape when facing danger, unless there are routes in the sky or the earth.
“还是先去吃点东西再说。”吐出一口略带炽热的气息，叶尘推开大门，往院外走去，抱元境武者虽然可以长时间不吃不喝，但从修炼状态中退出来，无疑会很饿，叶尘也不例外。
“But I think I’ll grab something to eat first before anything else.” Spitting a slightly hot breath of Qi, Ye Chen opened the door and walked out the courtyard. Even though Clasping Yuan Realm users can go for a long time without food or water, but when it comes to training, there’s no question that they will be hungry afterwards, and Ye Chen is no exception.
“少侠，这是你同伴给你的纸条。”院子外，曾招待过叶尘和慕容倾城的侍者发现叶尘，连忙跑了过来，递给他一张纸条。
“Kid, this is a note your companion passed to me.” Outside the courtyard, the represntative who was hospitable towards Ye Chen and MuRongDaoChen saw Ye Chen and quickly ran over to him, passing him the note.
叶尘接过纸条打开一看——
Ye Chen opened up the note to take a look.
很快，菜上齐了，还有一壶酒。
Very quickly, the food order came, along with a pot of wine.
顾不上斯文，叶尘狼吞虎咽起来。
Without a care for decency, Ye Chen gobbled it up.
“你们知道不知道，昨天，玄重山脉死了一位星极境强者。”隔壁第三张位置，几名抱元境武者坐在一起，相互间议论纷纷。
“Were any of you aware that yesterday, XuanZhongShan killed an Astral Reaching Realm user.” Beside the third seat, a few Clasping Yuan Realm users sat together, discussing about this matter amongst themselves.
“什么！一名星极境强者死了，杀他的人是谁？”
“What! An Astral Reaching Realm user died, who killed him?”
“是震山老人刁奎，死去的那人也不是无名之辈，外号邪刀，修为达到了星极境初期巅峰。”
“It was one of the Shock Mountain Old Men DiaoKui, and the one that died was also not a nameless one as well, he had the nickname Evil Knife, his power level reaching that of Early Peak Astral Reaching Realm already.”
“邪刀，原来是他，数十年前，他曾杀了震山老人徒弟全家，震山老人一直怀恨在心，想不到这次被他逮到了，对了，他们动用了几招，震山老人虽然是星极境中期武者，但邪刀实力同样很强，听说能抗衡普通的星极境中期强者。”
“Evil Knife, so it was him, decades ago, he killed the Old Man of the Mountain’s disciples, and he has held a grudge for that ever since, I didn’t think he would be caught this time, and yes, they only used a few strokes to kill him. The Old Men of the Shock Mountain may be Astral Reaching Realm users, but Evil Knife’s strength is on the same level, I heard that he could go toe to toe with a Mid Astral Reaching Realm user.”
“三招，震山老人仅仅三招就击杀了邪刀。”
“Three strokes, that’s all it took for the Old Men of the Shock Mountain to kill Evil Knife.”
“不太可能吧！难道邪刀没来得及燃烧真元？”
“That’s impossible! There’s no way that Evil Knife didn’t even manage to save himself?”
“哼哼，不燃烧真元的话，邪刀最多只能走过一招，当时震山老人可是发狠了，一上来，二话不说，直接燃烧真元，不给邪刀一点逃走的机会。”
“Hmmm, aside from saving himself or not, Evil Knife was only able to make one move at most, because at that moment the Old Mountain Men were possibly filled with a lot of anger, they came, no words spoken, and killed him, didn’t even give him a chance to escape.”
“死的也好，邪刀杀人无数，终究难逃一死。”
“It’s good that he’s dead, Evil Knife has killed countless people, and this time he’s tried to run it killed him.”
把几人的话听在耳中，叶尘暗道：震山老人看上去和和气气，还在慕容倾城面前打趣他，发起火来倒是挺猛的，三招就***了一名星极境初期巅峰武者，只怕天雷散人也不是他三招之敌。
After listening to the conversation, Ye Chen silently muttered, “The Mountain Shocking Old Men looked so easygoing, they even joked around with him in front of MuRongDaoChen, but it looks like they become very fierce when they’re fired up. Three moves and they fuck up an Early Peak Astral Reaching Realm user, it’s worrying if they might do the same three stroke attack on the Thunderer Freers.”
用过午餐，叶尘来到街道上。
After lunch, Ye Chen came to the street.
走着走着，他停了下来，冤家路窄，居然碰到了原宗博。
While walking, he suddenly stopped, he now faced his enemy in a narrow road, unexpectedly meeting Yuan Zhong Bo.
“嘿嘿，看样子你未曾修炼到抱元境初期巅峰，而且你那同伴也弃你而去了。”原宗博不怀好意的看着叶尘。
“Hey, looking at you it seems that you haven’t gotten your power level up to Early Peak Clasping Yuan Realm yet, and it seems your companion has also abandoned you as well.” Yuan Zhong Bo looked at Ye Chen with malicious intentions.
叶尘淡淡道：“眼下是杀我的最好机会，可惜这个机会并不在你手上。”
Ye Chen lightly replied, “Right now would be the best chance to kill me, but it’s a shame that this opportunity isn’t in your hands.”
“激将我没用，我不傻，星极境强者都不敢在武城杀人，我也不敢，可惜你不可能一辈子呆在武城。”
“Using reverse psychology on me won’t work, I’m not stupid, not even the Astral Reaching Realm users dare to kill someone in the martial city, and I don’t too, it’s a shame you can’t spend your entire life staying in the martial city.”
“那你慢慢等吧！说不定我会在武城呆上三五年。”叶尘冷笑，从对方旁边走过。
“Then you better wait! I could be here for the next three to five years.” laughed Ye Chen nervously and walked past.
原宗博脸色阴沉下来，在武城呆三五年，如果对方真的这么做，他的确一点办法都没有。
Yuan Zhong Bo’s face became gloomy, being in the martial city for three to five years, and if Ye Chen is able to do that, then he would certainly not be able to do anything.
“可恶，不要落在我手上，否则要你求生不能求死不行。”
“Abominable, you don’t want to fall by my hands, otherwise there wouldn’t be any other option.”
回到院子里，叶尘休息了一会儿，开始参悟浮罗三玄诀。
Going back to the courtyard, Ye Chen took a short rest before getting started on comprehending the Three Floating Nets technique.
又是七天过去。
And the seventh day has passed.
小型练武场上。
这段时间内，叶尘除了修炼浮罗三玄诀，同时还在修炼破虚指，打算看看能否做出突破，现在看来，破虚指的品级太高，把有限的时间浪费在上面殊为不智。
In this short span of time, Ye Chen not only practiced the Three Floating Nets technique, but at the same time he also practiced the Breaking Reality teachnique, determined to see if he could make a breakthrough. Looking at it right now, the Breaking Reality method is of a level that is too high, and spending time on it would be unwise.
时间如水流逝。
Time passed quickly.
这一日。
This day.
叶尘在小型练武场上极快掠动，人至途中，身体微微一颤，两道真气残影飞掠而出，以匪夷所思的速度冲向练功桩。
Ye Chen swept across the small martials arts field very quickly, in the middle of it, his body started to slowly shiver, then two blurs made of Qi came out, heading towards the practice pile at incomprehensible speeds.
“碎！”
……
这一次，叶尘整整在修炼室呆了半个月还未出来。
This time, Ye Chen spent the whole time in the training area for half a month not coming out.
半个月内他滴水未喝，全心全意投入到修炼中，用掉的下品灵石数以百计，精气神三丹也用掉了数十枚，若是普通抱元境初期武者这么做，走火入魔的几率很大，但叶尘的灵魂力极其强大，倒是能把时间延长到两倍以上，否则他不会如此莽撞。
In that half a month he did not drink a single drop of water, focusing all his heart and soul into training, using hundreds of low ranked spirit stones, dozens of spirit enhancing pills, if it was a normal Early Clasping Yuan Realm user how would it go, the chances of steering towards the dark side is very large. However, Ye Chen’s soul is very strong, he is able to increase the time spent by two times, otherwise he would not be this reckless.
院子外每天都有不同的侍者利用休息时间过来监视，让那名曾收到叶尘打赏的侍者心生疑惑，他在武城生活了这么多年，什么事没见过，不出意外的话，应该有人要对付叶尘。
Every day outside the courtyard there would be different representatives using their breaktimes to monitor Ye Chen, leading the representative whom Ye Chen rewarded to have his doubts. He has been living in the martial city for many years, and hasn’t not seen much, so aside from it being an accident, someone wants to deal with Ye Chen.
在那些侍者的监视下，叶尘终于再一次出关。
Under the monitor of the representatives, Ye Chen finally came out for once.
“地煞真火的火气太过奇妙了，长时间修炼，经脉一点事都没有，不过其中应该也有补精丹补气丹以及补神丹的作用。”武者平常修炼，最多修炼几个时辰就会停下来，原因是经脉承受不住真气频繁流动，容易造成伤害，但是在修炼室中，叶尘一般修炼半天才会暂停几个时辰，闭目养神，几个时辰过后，经脉恢复到正常状态，继续修炼。
“The evil fire’s intense heat/Qi is too wonderful, spending lots of time training, with no problems on the meridian although that might have been the doing of Qi replenishing pill after Qi replenishing pill after Qi replenishing pill.” Martial artists normally train, and at the most they will train for a few hours before stopping, with the reason being that the meridian cannot handle the frequent flow of Qi, which can easily lead to injury. However, within the training area, Ye Chen trained for half a day non stop before stopping for a few hours, then closing his eyes to meditate. After that few hours, his meridian would go back to normal, and he would continue training.
重重吐出一口气息，叶尘打开门，自言自语道：“修为提升到抱元境初期巅峰了，短时间内，不可能有所突破。”
Heavily spitting out a breath, Ye Chen opened the door, saying to himself, “My power has increased to Early Peak Clasping Yuan Realm already, in a short time, there is no way I could have had a breakthrough.”
砰砰砰……
Knock Knock Knock….
院子外有敲门声响起。
Outside the courtyard there was a knocking sound.
叶尘右手虚拉，门栓被抽开，说道：“进来吧！”
