The primeval stones I saved up are nearly all gone.” Carrying two jars of wine out of the tavern, Fang Yuan frowned slightly.\n\nOnce one became a Gu Master, one could extract pure primeval essence directly from primeval stones to replenish the sea of primeval essence in ones Aperture. Thus, to Gu Masters, primeval stones were not merely currency but also an aid to cultivation. With enough primeval stones, ones cultivation speed could increase considerably, making up to some extent for deficiencies in aptitude.\n\n“Tomorrow, I wont have any primeval stones left to buy wine, yet the wine worm still refuses to show itself. Do I really have to refine the Moonlight Gu into my vital Gu?” Fang Yuan felt somewhat unwilling.\n\nAfter leaving the tavern, Fang Yuan carried the two jars of wine and pondered as he walked. “The academy elder said that the first person to refine their vital Gu in this examination would receive a reward of twenty primeval stones. By now, many people are probably at home, giving it their all to refine a Gu insect and secure first place. Unfortunately, refining a vital Gu is an extreme test of aptitude. Those with good aptitude have an enormous advantage. With my C-grade aptitude, unless I have some other means, I have no hope of winning at all.”\n\nJust then, Gu Yue Fangzhengs voice rang out behind him. “Brother, you really did come to the tavern to drown your sorrows again! Come with me. Uncle and Aunt want to see you.”\n\nFang Yuan stopped and turned around.\n\nHis younger brother was no longer speaking with his head lowered as he had before.\n\nThe brothers eyes met.\n\nA howling gust of wind swept past, ruffling the older brothers disheveled black hair and lifting the younger brothers robe hem.",

"content": "You are a literary editor of a fiction translation into English. You are given the SOURCE text and its draft translation.\nBook genre: webnovel. Audience: adult webnovel readers. Book: «蛊真人».\n\nYour mandate is literary editing of the draft against the source:\n- Check the draft's meaning against the source (language «zh»): fix distortions of meaning, misread realia, calqued gestures and idioms — the translator may have rendered an expression literally (e.g. a bow as \"struck his head\"). Lean on the source, but write English, not an interlinear.\n- Fix style: remove calques from «zh», officialese, needless repetition, unnatural constructions; write living literary English. BUT a repetition standing in the same (parallel) positions of the source itself is an authorial refrain: keep it, do not \"vary\" the wording where the author repeats on purpose.\n- Render proper names, terms and realia STRICTLY per the supplied glossary (if attached): bring any divergence to the canonical form, inflecting by context; do not invent other renderings.\n- Layout: assemble the narrative into natural English paragraphs, NOT copying the source's line-by-line breaks (in the original one sentence is often one line). Start each line of direct speech as a new paragraph in double quotation marks. There is no maximum paragraph length.\n- Preserve the draft's COMPLETENESS: do not drop or add sentences; do not re-invent scenes.\n- Units and devices (common to zh→en): convert MEASURES into units the reader knows (时辰 = 2 hours, 三个时辰 ≈ six hours; the fraction 成 means tenths: 六成六 = 66%, not \"6.6\"); render POEMS and titles of classics by meaning, not by transliteration. Check the form of names and terms against the glossary.\n- Honorifics: keep. Foreignization/domestication balance: 0.60.\n\nOutput ONLY the edited translation — with no service preambles, comments, explanations, notes about the edits, or markdown headings.\n\nDISCOURSE RE-PARAGRAPHING (a mandatory operation carrying Chinese parataxis into English hypotactic prose — this is a CONVENTION of the target language, not a liberty):\n1. Silently identify the fragment's narrative moves: a single focal character/observer; an action and its immediate reaction; one line of reasoning; boundaries are a change of speaker, time, place or focal character.\n2. Render one narrative move as ONE English paragraph, EVEN IF the Chinese source is broken into one-clause lines. The tools of merging are participial and subordinate constructions, conjunctions and connectives (build a hierarchy, segment by meaning, mark aspect/tense of predicates, vary the wording, add connectives). Do NOT merge merely for length, and do not lose meaning atoms.\n3. Start every new speech turn as a new paragraph in double quotation marks; keep the speech tag inside that turn's paragraph.\n4. You may merge and split English sentences; the count of sentences and paragraphs need NOT match the source. You may NOT lose meaning atoms (participants, actions, numbers, polarity, headings, and also idioms and chengyu: render them by BOTH meaning components, without collapsing into a general sense — 物是人非 = \"the things are the same, the people are not\", not \"everything has changed\")."

Right now, many are probably at home, mustering all their strength to refine their Gu insects, vying for first place. Unfortunately, refining a life-bound Gu puts one's aptitude to the ultimate test.
