为师这么做自然有理由，与突破境界甚至飞升上界都大有关系……”如嫣仙子叹了口气，脸上露出几分郁闷的表情。
Lady Ruyan sighed, a hint of depression on her face. As the Supreme Elder of the Far Horizon Pavilion, she was accustomed to giving orders and being respected by even late-stage元婴 cultivators. Yet, in recent months, she had endured more indignities than she could count.
shēn wèi tiān yá hǎi gé de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， zǎo yǐ xí guàn le yí zhǐ qì shǐ ， biàn shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū shì ， jiàn dào tā ， yě bì gōng bì jìng ， bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo shī lǐ ， kě zhè jǐ gè yuè lái ， shòu de qì ， què bǐ tā yī shēng jiā qǐ lái de hái duō 。
身为天涯海阁的太上长老，早已习惯了颐指气使，便是元婴后期的大修士，见到她，也毕恭毕敬，不敢有分毫失礼，可这几个月来，受的气，却比她一生加起来的还多。
This year, Lady Ruyan was already 1500 years old. Even when she first embarked on her cultivation journey, due to her noble birth and exceptional qualities, she had never truly faced hardship. However, the past few months had been a different story. She had been treated like an ant by low-rank cultivators, enduring countless grievances.
rú yān xiān zi jīn nián yǐ jīng yī qiān wǔ bǎi yú suì le ， kě jí biàn gāng gāng tà shàng xiān tú de shí hòu ， yīn wèi chū shēng shì jiā dà zú ， jiā shàng ！$ zhì jué jiā de yuán gù ， jī hū yě méi shòu guò shén me kǔ 。
如嫣仙子今年已经一千五百余岁了，可即便刚刚踏上仙途的时候，因为出生世家大族，加上！$质绝佳的缘故，几乎也没受过什么苦。
Lady Ruyan was 1500 years old this year, but even when she first stepped onto the path of cultivation, her noble birth and excellent qualities meant she hadn't faced much hardship. However, in recent months, she had been treated like an ant by low-rank cultivators, enduring countless grievances.
kě zuì jìn zhè jǐ gè yuè ， què bèi nà xiē lóu yǐ yì bān de dī jiē xiū shì hū lái hè qù ， shòu jǐn wěi qū ， xiǎng xiǎng jiù yù mèn bù yǐ 。
可最近这几个月，却被那些蝼蚁一般的低阶修士呼来喝去，受尽委屈，想想就郁闷不已。
If it weren't for the matter of ascending to the higher realms, she might have destroyed all of Yanzhou Region with her anger long ago.
rú guǒ bú shì qiān chě dào néng fǒu fēi shēng shàng jiè ， ràng tā bù dé bù pīn mìng rěn xià lái ， kǒng pà zhěng gè lǒng nán dì qū ， dū huì huǐ zài zhè wèi lí hé qī nǚ xiū de nù huǒ lǐ 。
如果不是牵扯到能否飞升上界，让她不得不拼命忍下来，恐怕整个陇南地区，都会毁在这位离合期女修的怒火里。
Seeing the odd expression on Qin Yan's face, Lady Ruyan sighed lightly. "Yan'er, your cultivation is still too shallow; explaining this to you won’t help. The destruction caused by that monster could lead to countless cultivators' deaths, but what does it matter to us?"
jiàn dào ài tú liǎn shàng de gǔ guài zhī sè ， rú yān xiān zi qīng qīng tàn xī ：“ yán ér ，$$； rú jīn xiū wèi shàng qiǎn ， wèi shī jiě shì gěi $$； tīng yě méi yǒu yì chù ， zhào wǒ de huà qù zuò jiù hǎo le 。
见到爱徒脸上的古怪之色，如嫣仙子轻轻叹息：“妍儿，$$；如今修为尚浅，为师解释给$$；听也没有益处，照我的话去做就好了。
"Teacher, but... how many people will die if no one stops him? Cultivators might fall on the journey."
“ shì ， shī zūn 。” qín yán diǎn le diǎn tóu ， bù gǎn zài duō kǒu 。
“是，师尊。”秦妍点了点头，不敢再多口。
"Stupid girl, do we care about how many people die?"
“ duì le ， nà nǚ zǐ shì shuí ，$$； jiāng tā dài lái zuò shén me ？” kàn le yī yǎn páng biān de zhū qiàn rú ， rú yān xiān zi liǎn shàng liáng huáng bú yuè zhī sè 。
“对了，那女子是谁，$$；将她带来做什么？”看了一眼旁边的朱倩如，如嫣仙子脸上粮黄不悦之色。
"Teacher..."
“ shī zūn xī nù ， shì qíng shì zhè yàng de ……
“师尊息怒，事情是这样的……
"Lantern, remember this. Cultivation is a rebellion against heaven; you must endure countless hardships and not show any mercy or rashness. My killing that monster isn't significant, but doing so won’t benefit me in the slightest. That monster will likely leave Yanzhou Region soon, and other old monsters will deal with it."
tài yán máng bǐng qì níng xī ， wěi wěi jiǎng chū xuě míng mén shēng de yí mù ， dāng rán ， yǔ lín xuān yǒu guān de ， tā zàn qiě yǐn qù le 。
泰妍忙摒气凝息，娓娓讲出雪暝门生的一幕，当然，与林轩有关的，她暂且隐去了。
"Other old monsters... Teacher, are there other late-stage cultivators besides you in this Cloud Province?" Qin Yan asked, her face filled with surprise.
yīn wèi bù zhī dào shī zūn tīng le hòu huì fǎn yìng rú hé ， yǐ hòu zài shuō 。
因为不知道师尊听了后会反应如何，以后再说。
"Of course, though their numbers are few. Especially that old man from the Hope Tower, who is said to be close to entering the late stage of separation." Lady Ruyan sighed deeply. Her talent was excellent, but she was merely the top female cultivator and not the strongest late-stage cultivator.
“ ó ， jīn gāng shān guài ， méi xiǎng dào wǒ men rén jiè hái cán cún zhe zhè zhǒng guài wù ， yīng gāi shì shàng gǔ shí qī ， bèi fēng yìn de 。” rú yān xiān zi tīng le ， yě yǒu xiē dòng róng ， lüè yī sī suǒ ， qiāo jiāng cǐ wù de lái lì jiǎng chū 。
“哦，金刚山怪，没想到我们人界还残存着这种怪物，应该是上古时期，被封印的。”如嫣仙子听了，也有些动容，略一思索，劁将此物的来历讲出。
These matters didn't need to be explained in detail to her apprentice; a few hints were enough.
“ jīn gāng shān guài ， nà shì shén me ？” qín yán què cóng wèi tīng guò ， mǎn liǎn hào qí de kāi kǒu 。
“金刚山怪，那是什么？”秦妍却从未听过，满脸好奇的开口。
"Teacher, what about this Qianru friend?" Qin Yan hesitated, looking pleadingly at Lady Ruyan.
“ shì yīn sī jiè de yī zhǒng guài wù ， zěn me dàn shēng de ， wǒ yě bù qīng chǔ ， měi yí gè dōu lì dà wú qióng ， shí lì qiáng hèng yǐ jí ， bù guò $$； yù jiàn de zhè ge ， yīng gāi zhǐ shì yuán yīng qī de ér yǐ rú yān xiān zi lǐ le lǐ sī 。
“是阴司界的一种怪物，怎么诞生的，我也不清楚，每一个都力大无穷，实力强横以极，不过$$；遇见的这个，应该只是元婴期的而已如嫣仙子理了理丝。
"Hmph. Her abilities are average, but I'll make an exception for her parents' love and bring her back to the Far Horizon Pavilion. We can find an elder to take her in." Lady Ruyan said thoughtfully.
“ wú yīng qī ， shùn kě shì yì kǒu qì shā le hǎo duō yuán yīng xiū shì ， zěn me kě néng cái wú yīng qī ？” qín yán liǎn shàng lüè gǎn bù xìn 。
“无婴期，顺可是一口气杀了好多元婴修士，怎么可能才无婴期？”秦妍脸上略感不信。
"Thank you, Teacher," Qin Yan was overjoyed, quickly bowing deeply.
“ nán dào wèi shī hái huì piàn $$；， jìng jiè lái shuō ， qiāo què shí shì yuán yīng qī ， zhǐ shì zhè zhǒng guài wù tiān fù yì bǐng ， zì rán yuǎn bú shì rén lèi tóng jiē xiū shì kě bǐ ， bù guò rú guǒ yù jiàn wǒ men lí hé qī xiū shì ， miè shā kǔn ； yě méi yǒu shén me nán dì 。” rú yān xiān zi xià hé gǎn yáng ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn ào rán zhī yì 。
“难道为师还会骗$$；，境界来说，悄确实是元婴期，只是这种怪物天赋异禀，自然远不是人类同阶修士可比，不过如果遇见我们离合期修士，灭杀悃；也没有什么难地。”如嫣仙子下颌橄扬，脸上露出几分傲然之意。
Lady Ruyan continued, "That Hundred Phoenix Blade is two hundred miles southwest from here. Kill them all; that brat dared to flirt with this fairy and made such a mistake. The sect will no longer be passed down."
“ tài hǎo le ， shī zūn ， nà tú ér néng bù néng yǒu gè bù qíng zhī qíng ？”
“太好了，师尊，那徒儿能不能有个不情之情？”
"Yes!"
“ lài 1 xiǎng ràng wǒ chū shǒu miè shā nà guài wù ？”
“赖1想让我出手灭杀那怪物？”
Qin Yan's heart raced as she obediently followed the order. She then shot off in a burst of green light towards the southwest.
“ shì de 。” qín yán diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn yōu tuō ：“ zhè jiā huo pò huài lì tài tài le ， rú guǒ méi yǒu rén zhì fú ， yī lù shàng hái bù zhī dào yào yǔn luò duō shǎo xiū xiān zhě 。
“是的。”秦妍点了点头，脸上露出几分忧乇：“这家伙破坏力太太了，如果没有人制伏，一路上还不知道要陨落多少修仙者。
In Hidden Canyon, Lin Xuan was unaware of his apprentice's conversation. He had just moved into his newly opened cave dwelling with Moon. While condensing a demon core was his top priority, he still wasn't in a rush.
“ shǎ yā tou ， sǐ duō shǎo rén yǔ wǒ men yǒu hé guān xì ？”
“傻丫头，死多少人与我们有何关系？”
Lin Xuan reached into his storage bag and pulled out an ancient-looking jade box no more than a foot long. He had ventured deep into the mountain to obtain this item.
“ shī zūn ● qiū yī yī yī yī yī yī ”
“师尊●鳅一一一一一一”
Moon emerged from her识海, staring at the jade box with confusion on her face.
“ yán ér ，$$； jì zhù le ， xiū xiān běn wèi nì tiān zhī shì ， bù zhī yào jīng lì duō shǎo xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， suǒ yǐ yí dìng bù néng yǒu fù rén zhī rén ， gèng bié zuò nà qiáng chū tóu zhī shì ， wèi shī miè shā jīn gāng shān guài bù suàn shén me ， kě zhè yàng zuò ， duì wǒ tiān yá hǎi gé yǒu hé hǎo chù ， zhè jiā huo shí yǒu ** bú huì dài zài lǒng nán zhī dì ， pǎo chū qù hòu zì yǒu bié de lǎo guài wù cāo xīn ， wǒ hé bì duō guǎn xián shì 。”
“妍儿，$$；记住了，修仙本为逆天之事，不知要经历多少腥风血雨，所以一定不能有妇人之仁，更别做那强出头之事，为师灭杀金刚山怪不算什么，可这样做，对我天涯海阁有何好处，这家伙十有**不会待在陇南之地，跑出去后自有别的老怪物操心，我何必多管闲事。”
"Have you remembered anything?" Lin Xuan asked gravely. How could a piece of treasure from another world be related to Moon?
“ bié de lǎo guài wù ， shī zūn shì shuō ， zài zhè yún zhōu ， chú le nín ， hái yǒu qí tā de lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ？” qín yán mǎn liǎn jīng yà de kāi kǒu 。
“别的老怪物，师尊是说，在这云州，除了您，还有其他的离合期修仙者？”秦妍满脸惊讶的开口。
"No," Moon said, sticking out her tongue. "It's just a feeling; it feels familiar."
“ dāng rán ， shù liàng suī rán bù duō ， dàn zǒng yǒu nà me jǐ gè ， yóu qí shì wàng tíng lóu nà lǎo jiā huǒ ， tīng shuō yǐ kuài jìn jiē dào lí hé hòu qī 。” rú yān xiān zi yōu yōu de tàn le kǒu qì ， tā de tiān fù shì hěn yōu yì ， dàn jǐn jǐn shì dì yī nǚ xiū ér yǐ ， bìng bú shì zuì qiáng de lí hé xiū shì 。
“当然，数量虽然不多，但总有那么几个，尤其是望亭楼那老家伙，听说已快进阶到离合后期。”如嫣仙子幽幽的叹了口气，她的天赋是很优异，但仅仅是第一女修而已，并不是最强的离合修士。
Moon reached for the box, but Lin Xuan stopped her.
dāng rán ， zhè xiē shì ， yě bù bì yǔ tú dì shuō duō shǎo ， diǎn dào jí zhǐ 。
当然，这些事，也不必与徒弟说多少，点到即止。
"Wait."
“ shī zūn ， nà zhè wèi qiàn rú dào yǒu ……” qín yán chí yí zhe kāi kǒu ， mǎn liǎn kěn qiú 。
“师尊，那这位倩如道友……”秦妍迟疑着开口，满脸恳求。
"Master, what is it?" Moon turned, looking confused.
“ hēng ， zī zhì yì bān ， bù guò kàn zài tā fù mǔ ài nǚ xīn qiè de fèn shàng ， wǒ jiù pò yī huí lì ，$$； jiāng tā dài huí tiān yá hǎi gé ， zhǎo yī wèi zhǎng lǎo shōu xià hǎo le 。” rú yān xiān zi chén yín zhe shuō 。
“哼，资质一般，不过看在她父母爱女心切的份上，我就破一回例，$$；将她带回天涯海阁，找一位长老收下好了。”如嫣仙子沉吟着说。
"Silly girl, don't act on impulse based on feelings. We need to understand this first."
“ xiè xiè shī fù 。” qín yán dà xǐ ， máng liǎn rèn yī lǐ 。
“谢谢师傅。”秦妍大喜，忙敛衽一礼。
Lin Xuan then tapped his waist and pulled out another jade box, this one square and about the size of a palm with an封印贴ed on its lid.
“ hǎo le ， nà bǎi fèng dāo jiù zài cǐ xī nán liǎng bǎi lǐ ， quán bù shā le ， yī gǒu pì shǎo zhǔ ， tì rán gǎn tiáo xì běn xiān zi ， fàn xià zhè yàng de cuò wù ， nà mén pài yě jiù bù yòng chuán chéng zài shì shàng le 。” rú yān xiān zi qīng miáo dàn xiě de shuō 。
“好了，那百凤刀就在此西南两百里，全部杀了，一狗屁少主，屉然敢调戏本仙子，犯下这样的错误，那门派也就不用传承在世上了。”如嫣仙子轻描淡写的说。
He opened the lid to reveal two pale元婴 lying inside, barely alive.
“ shì ！”
“是！”
These were clearly Liu Mei and that Chen cultivator's元婴.
qín yán xīn zhōng yī lǐn ， chuí tīng mìng ， suí hòu ；$ shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， xiàng xī nán fāng fēi lüè ér qù 。
秦妍心中一凛，垂听命，随后；$身青芒大起，像西南方飞掠而去。
"Friend, we have no grudge; please release me. I will repay you."
lìn yǐn xiá gǔ 。
吝隐峡谷。
The Chen cultivator's eyes flashed with malice but quickly masked it, speaking earnestly.
tài yán shī tú jiān de duì huà ， lín xuān bìng bù qīng chǔ ， cǐ shí tā hé yuè ér gāng gāng bān jìn xīn kāi pì de dòng fǔ ， suī shuō níng jié yāo dān shì dì yī yào wù ， dàn yě bù jí yú yī shí de 。
泰妍师徒间的对话，林轩并不清楚，此时他和月儿刚刚搬进新开辟的洞府，虽说凝结妖丹是第一要务，但也不急于一时的。
Liu Mei was still in the early stage, and her元婴 was even weaker, but she managed to sit up and beg weakly.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， hái yǒu gèng zhòng yào de shì qíng děng zhe lǐ 。
此时此刻，还有更重要的事情等着理。
Lin Xuan wasn't a soft-hearted person; these two had released the monster for personal gain without any redeeming qualities.
lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， yī shì yàng gǔ piáo de yù hé jiù fú xiàn chū lái ， zhǎng bù guò chǐ xǔ zuǒ yòu 。
林轩伸出手来，在储物袋上一拍，一式样古朴的玉盒就浮现出来，长不过尺许左右。
A mocking smile played on Lin Xuan's lips. "Repayment? No need. But you both are somewhat useful to me."
lín xuān mào xiǎn jìn rù shān fù ， jiù shì wèi le cǐ wù 。
林轩冒险进入山腹，就是为了此物。
"What... what do you want to do?" The Chen cultivator, sensing Lin Xuan’s ominous tone, grew panicked but was too weak to even use瞬移 or遁光 escape.
yuè ér yě cóng dì de shí hǎi lǐ miàn pǎo chū lái le ， xiǎo yā tou dāi dāi de kàn zhuó yǎn qián de yù hé ， qiào liǎn shàng mǎn shì mí máng zhī sè 。
月儿也从地的识海里面跑出来了，小丫头呆呆的看着眼前的玉盒，俏脸上满是迷茫之色。
Lin Xuan didn't say anything more. He rolled up his sleeve and tossed Liu Mei's元婴 to Moon. Then he used Soul Profiling on both of them.
“ kě yǒu xiǎng qǐ shén me ？” lín xuān mǎn liǎn níng zhòng de kāi kǒu ， lìng yī chù rén jiè de bǎo wù ， zěn me huì yǔ xiǎo yā tou tóu yǒu guān lián ne 。
“可有想起什么？”林轩满脸凝重的开口，另一处人界的宝物，怎么会与小丫头头有关联呢。
After half an hour, Lin Xuan opened his eyes, a strange expression on his face. He had only wanted to know what was in the jade box.
“ méi yǒu 。” yuè ér tǔ le tǔ shé tou ：“ jiù shì yī zhǒng gǎn jué ， hǎo xiàng cǐ wù hěn qīn qiè 。
“没有。”月儿吐了吐舌头：“就是一种感觉，好像此物很亲切。
The answer was clear:
yuè ér shuō zhe ， jiù yào shēn shǒu qù mō 。
月儿说着，就要伸手去摸。
Xuantian Minguang Treasure!
“ děng hàn 。
“等旱。
Lin Xuan's heart sank as he realized that the three mysterious paintings in the other party’s memory had completely distracted him from this discovery. The girl in the paintings looked so much like Moon, almost identical except for her demeanor.
“ shào yé ， zěn me le ？” yuè ér zhuǎn guò tóu ， qiào liǎn shàng lù chū bù jiě zhī sè 。
“少爷，怎么了？”月儿转过头，俏脸上露出不解之色。
Could there be a connection between them?
“ shǎ yā tou ， píng gǎn jué jiù zhè me dà dǎn ， yě bù pà yù jiàn wēi xiǎn ， cǐ wù kě shì lái zì guài wù shēn tǐ lǐ miàn ， dài wǒ xiān liǎo jiě yī fān 。”
“傻丫头，凭感觉就这么大胆，也不怕遇见危险，此物可是来自怪物身体里面，待我先了解一番。”
A bad feeling arose within Lin Xuan; compared to Moon, this treasure was insignificant.
lín xuān shuō dào zhè lǐ ， yòu zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， zài cì qǔ chū yí gè yù hé lái ， bù guò zhè cì què shì zhèng fāng xíng ， bā zhǎng dà xiǎo ， hé gài shàng hái tiē yǒu yī zhāng fēng yìn 。
林轩说到这里，又在腰间一拍，再次取出一个玉盒来，不过这次却是正方形，巴掌大小，盒盖上还贴有一张封印。
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed deeply, his expression darkening.
lín xuān jiāng hé gài dǎ kāi ， liǎng gè yuán yīng liǎn qīng chún bái de tǎng zài lǐ miàn ， qì xī yān yān 。
林轩将盒盖打开，两个元婴脸青唇白的躺在里面，气息奄奄。
"Master, what’s wrong?" A gentle voice entered his ears. Lin Xuan looked up and saw Moon squatting beside him, concern in her eyes.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì liǔ méi yǔ nà chén xìng xiū shì tǐ wú yīng 。
不用说，自然是柳眉与那陈姓修士体无婴。
"Lantern," Lin Xuan gently pulled her into his arms, though he didn't hold on tightly. The girl, lacking a body, snuggled close to him. Time seemed to pause for a while.
“ dào yǒu ， wǒ men wú yuān wú chóu ， huán qīng fàng le wǒ ， zài xià yí dìng huì bào dá nǐ de 。
“道友，我们无冤无仇，还清放了我，在下一定会报答你的。
"Moon."
chén xìng xiū shì de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ yuàn dú ， bù guò hěn kuài jiù yǐn cáng qǐ lái le ， mǎn liǎn chéng kěn de kāi kǒu 。
陈姓修士的眼中闪过一缕怨毒，不过很快就隐藏起来了，满脸诚恳的开口。
"Hmm?"
liǔ méi bù guò shì chū qī ， yuán yīng gèng jiā xū ruò ， dàn yě miǎn qiǎng chēng qǐ shēn tǐ ， yī yī yā yā de xiāng qiú 。
柳眉不过是初期，元婴更加虚弱，但也勉强撑起身体，依依呀呀的相求。
"Don’t leave me."
kě xī ， lín xuān bú shì xīn ruǎn de rén wù ， liǎng gè jiā huo ， wèi le yī jǐ sī lì ， jiāng guài wù fàng chū ， gèng méi yǒu sī háo zhí de tóng qíng zhī chù 。
可惜，林轩不是心软的人物，两个家伙，为了一己私利，将怪物放出，更没有丝毫值得同情之处。
"Master, what did you say? Why would I leave you?" Moon was confused, wondering where this came from.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ：“ bào dá ， zhè jiù bù bì le ， bù guò liǎng wèi duì lín mǒu lái shuō ， duō shǎo hái yǒu yī xiē yòng tú 。”
林轩嘴角露出一丝讥嘲之色：“报答，这就不必了，不过两位对林某来说，多少还有一些用途。”
Her reaction surprised Lin Xuan: "Did you not see those strange paintings when I searched her memories?"
“ nǐ …… nǐ yào zuò shén me ？” chén xìng xiū shì tīng lín xuān kǒu qì bù shàn ， bù yóu de jīng huāng shī cuò qǐ lái ， kě xī tā liǎ tài guò xū ruò ， bié shuō shùn yí ， lián dùn guāng táo pǎo dōu zuò bú dào 。
“你……你要做什么？”陈姓修士听林轩口气不善，不由得惊慌失措起来，可惜他俩太过虚弱，别说瞬移，连遁光逃跑都做不到。
They had all gone to find the treasure together.
lín xuān yě bú duì shuō ， xiù páo yī juàn ， jiāng liǔ méi de yuán yīng diū dào yuè ér shēn biān ， suí hòu zhǔ pú yī rén zhào gù yí gè ， shī zhǎn qǐ sōu hún zhī shù wèi liǎo 。
林轩也不对说，袖袍一卷，将柳眉的元婴丢到月儿身边，随后主仆一人照顾一个，施展起搜魂之术未了。
"Yes..."
zú zú guò le bàn gè shí chén zhī jiǔ ， lín xuān cái zhēng kāi shuāng móu ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng gǔ guài wú bǐ ， yuán běn jǐn jǐn xiǎng zhī dào yù hé zhōng zhuāng de shì shén me dōng xī 。
足足过了半个时辰之久，林轩才睁开双眸，脸上的表情古怪无比，原本仅仅想知道玉盒中装的是什么东西。
"Why then?" Lin Xuan grew more puzzled. If they saw such strange paintings, why didn't Moon show any signs of recognition?
dá àn yě dé dào le 。
答案也得到了。
Could she know something about it?
xuán yāo míng bǎo ！
玄夭冥宝！
"I don’t know," Moon seemed to guess what Lin Xuan was thinking and leaned her head against his chest. "I have no idea why those three paintings appeared or what connection the girl in them has with me. But I do know this: I am who I am, and for my entire life, I will stay by your side, whether you become a deity or a demon."
lái g yīn sī jiè ， wēi lì děng tóng yú tōng tiān líng bǎo 。
来g阴司界，威力等同于通天灵宝。
Moon's voice was soft but firm. Lin Xuan didn't say anything more; he gently held her close.
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， běn yīng gāi xīn xǐ ruò kuáng ， kě duì fāng jì yì zhōng de nà sān fú tú huà ， què jiāng lín xuān de xīn shén quán bù xī yǐn dào yī biān 。
这样的结果，本应该欣喜若狂，可对方记忆中的那三幅图画，却将林轩的心神全部吸引到一边。
"Good Moon, don’t worry. Even if true deities come, I won’t let them take you away from me."
huà zhōng de shào nǚ ， yǔ yuè ér rú cǐ xiāng sì ， chú le qì zhì yǐ wài ， jiǎn zhí jiù xiàng shì cóng yí gè mú zi lǐ kè chū lái 。
画中的少女，与月儿如此相似，除了气质以外，简直就像是从一个模子里刻出来。
Lin Xuan spoke softly but with a hint of resolve in his eyes. Who dared do that? He would kill gods and demons alike to protect her.
nán dào yǔ xiǎo gàn yǔ jìng yǒu shén me guān lián 。
难道与小干与竟有什么关联。
This soul search had unexpectedly drawn them closer. Although Lin Xuan was emotionally low, he understood clearly: no one could separate him from Moon.
méi lái yóu de ， lín xuān xīn zhōng mào qǐ yī bù hǎo de yù gǎn ， shén me xuán tiān míng bǎo ， yǔ yuè ér xiāng bǐ ， bù zhí yī tí 。
没来由的，林轩心中冒起一不好的预感，什么玄天冥宝，与月儿相比，不值一提。
"Alright, Master. As the saying goes, it’s not without reason that things happen by chance. Maybe I have nothing to do with that girl in the paintings; you’re just overthinking. The Xuantian Minguang Treasure feels familiar to me. Let's open the jade box and see what we have." Moon liked being held by Lin Xuan but felt empty without a body. She wished she could condense her元婴.
lín xuān de méi tóu shēn shēn zhòu qǐ ， liǎn sè gèng shì nán kàn yǐ jí 。
林轩的眉头深深皱起，脸色更是难看以极。
"Alright," Lin Xuan nodded, hoping so. Although this matter was strange, he couldn't keep worrying about it indefinitely. He temporarily set it aside and focused on the jade box again.
Lady Ruyan sighed, a hint of depression on her face. As the Supreme Elder of the Far Horizon Pavilion, she was accustomed to giving orders and being respected by even late-stage元婴 cultivators. Yet, in recent months, she had endured more indignities than she could count.
This year, Lady Ruyan was already 1500 years old. Even when she first embarked on her cultivation journey, due to her noble birth and exceptional qualities, she had never truly faced hardship. However, the past few months had been a different story. She had been treated like an ant by low-rank cultivators, enduring countless grievances.
Lady Ruyan was 1500 years old this year, but even when she first stepped onto the path of cultivation, her noble birth and excellent qualities meant she hadn't faced much hardship. However, in recent months, she had been treated like an ant by low-rank cultivators, enduring countless grievances.
If it weren't for the matter of ascending to the higher realms, she might have destroyed all of Yanzhou Region with her anger long ago.
Seeing the odd expression on Qin Yan's face, Lady Ruyan sighed lightly. "Yan'er, your cultivation is still too shallow; explaining this to you won’t help. The destruction caused by that monster could lead to countless cultivators' deaths, but what does it matter to us?"
"Teacher, but... how many people will die if no one stops him? Cultivators might fall on the journey."
"Stupid girl, do we care about how many people die?"
"Teacher..."
"Lantern, remember this. Cultivation is a rebellion against heaven; you must endure countless hardships and not show any mercy or rashness. My killing that monster isn't significant, but doing so won’t benefit me in the slightest. That monster will likely leave Yanzhou Region soon, and other old monsters will deal with it."
"Other old monsters... Teacher, are there other late-stage cultivators besides you in this Cloud Province?" Qin Yan asked, her face filled with surprise.
"Of course, though their numbers are few. Especially that old man from the Hope Tower, who is said to be close to entering the late stage of separation." Lady Ruyan sighed deeply. Her talent was excellent, but she was merely the top female cultivator and not the strongest late-stage cultivator.
These matters didn't need to be explained in detail to her apprentice; a few hints were enough.
"Teacher, what about this Qianru friend?" Qin Yan hesitated, looking pleadingly at Lady Ruyan.
"Hmph. Her abilities are average, but I'll make an exception for her parents' love and bring her back to the Far Horizon Pavilion. We can find an elder to take her in." Lady Ruyan said thoughtfully.
"Thank you, Teacher," Qin Yan was overjoyed, quickly bowing deeply.
Lady Ruyan continued, "That Hundred Phoenix Blade is two hundred miles southwest from here. Kill them all; that brat dared to flirt with this fairy and made such a mistake. The sect will no longer be passed down."
"Yes!"
Qin Yan's heart raced as she obediently followed the order. She then shot off in a burst of green light towards the southwest.
In Hidden Canyon, Lin Xuan was unaware of his apprentice's conversation. He had just moved into his newly opened cave dwelling with Moon. While condensing a demon core was his top priority, he still wasn't in a rush.
Lin Xuan reached into his storage bag and pulled out an ancient-looking jade box no more than a foot long. He had ventured deep into the mountain to obtain this item.
Moon emerged from her识海, staring at the jade box with confusion on her face.
"Have you remembered anything?" Lin Xuan asked gravely. How could a piece of treasure from another world be related to Moon?
"No," Moon said, sticking out her tongue. "It's just a feeling; it feels familiar."
Moon reached for the box, but Lin Xuan stopped her.
"Wait."
"Master, what is it?" Moon turned, looking confused.
"Silly girl, don't act on impulse based on feelings. We need to understand this first."
Lin Xuan then tapped his waist and pulled out another jade box, this one square and about the size of a palm with an封印贴ed on its lid.
He opened the lid to reveal two pale元婴 lying inside, barely alive.
These were clearly Liu Mei and that Chen cultivator's元婴.
"Friend, we have no grudge; please release me. I will repay you."
The Chen cultivator's eyes flashed with malice but quickly masked it, speaking earnestly.
Liu Mei was still in the early stage, and her元婴 was even weaker, but she managed to sit up and beg weakly.
Lin Xuan wasn't a soft-hearted person; these two had released the monster for personal gain without any redeeming qualities.
A mocking smile played on Lin Xuan's lips. "Repayment? No need. But you both are somewhat useful to me."
"What... what do you want to do?" The Chen cultivator, sensing Lin Xuan’s ominous tone, grew panicked but was too weak to even use瞬移 or遁光 escape.
Lin Xuan didn't say anything more. He rolled up his sleeve and tossed Liu Mei's元婴 to Moon. Then he used Soul Profiling on both of them.
After half an hour, Lin Xuan opened his eyes, a strange expression on his face. He had only wanted to know what was in the jade box.
The answer was clear:
Xuantian Minguang Treasure!
Lin Xuan's heart sank as he realized that the three mysterious paintings in the other party’s memory had completely distracted him from this discovery. The girl in the paintings looked so much like Moon, almost identical except for her demeanor.
Could there be a connection between them?
A bad feeling arose within Lin Xuan; compared to Moon, this treasure was insignificant.
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed deeply, his expression darkening.
"Master, what’s wrong?" A gentle voice entered his ears. Lin Xuan looked up and saw Moon squatting beside him, concern in her eyes.
"Lantern," Lin Xuan gently pulled her into his arms, though he didn't hold on tightly. The girl, lacking a body, snuggled close to him. Time seemed to pause for a while.
"Moon."
"Hmm?"
"Don’t leave me."
"Master, what did you say? Why would I leave you?" Moon was confused, wondering where this came from.
Her reaction surprised Lin Xuan: "Did you not see those strange paintings when I searched her memories?"
They had all gone to find the treasure together.
"Yes..."
"Why then?" Lin Xuan grew more puzzled. If they saw such strange paintings, why didn't Moon show any signs of recognition?
Could she know something about it?
"I don’t know," Moon seemed to guess what Lin Xuan was thinking and leaned her head against his chest. "I have no idea why those three paintings appeared or what connection the girl in them has with me. But I do know this: I am who I am, and for my entire life, I will stay by your side, whether you become a deity or a demon."
Moon's voice was soft but firm. Lin Xuan didn't say anything more; he gently held her close.
"Good Moon, don’t worry. Even if true deities come, I won’t let them take you away from me."
Lin Xuan spoke softly but with a hint of resolve in his eyes. Who dared do that? He would kill gods and demons alike to protect her.
This soul search had unexpectedly drawn them closer. Although Lin Xuan was emotionally low, he understood clearly: no one could separate him from Moon.
"Alright, Master. As the saying goes, it’s not without reason that things happen by chance. Maybe I have nothing to do with that girl in the paintings; you’re just overthinking. The Xuantian Minguang Treasure feels familiar to me. Let's open the jade box and see what we have." Moon liked being held by Lin Xuan but felt empty without a body. She wished she could condense her元婴.
"Alright," Lin Xuan nodded, hoping so. Although this matter was strange, he couldn't keep worrying about it indefinitely. He temporarily set it aside and focused on the jade box again.
