惨叫声不停传入耳朵，不过巨怪再如何猖狂，也不可能以已之力，硬碰硬对抗在场所有烽仙者。毕竟光是元婴期的老怪物就有近百之多。
Continuous screams of agony filled the air, but no matter how rampant the giant monster was, it couldn't possibly withstand a direct confrontation with all the Immortal Warriors present. After all, there were nearly a hundred old monsters at the peak of the Inner Core Stage.
chú le wàn fú zōng luó hàn táng zuò ， hái yǒu lìng yī míng xiū shì yǐn rén zhǔ mù ， cǐ rén shēn gāo bù zú sān chǐ ， chún hóng chǐ bái ， kàn shàng qù jiù xiàng nián yòu de tóng zi yì bān 。
除了万佛宗罗汉堂座，还有另一名修士引人瞩目，此人身高不足三尺，唇红齿白，看上去就像年幼的童子一般。
Apart from the Hall of Arhats in the Thousand Buddha Sect, another cultivator caught everyone's attention. This person stood less than three feet tall, with rosy lips and white teeth, looking like a young boy.
rán ér chū shǒu què shí fēn yīn dú ， tóng yàng shì yī yuán yīng hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， yǔ tā xiāng bàn de hái yǒu yī hǔ yāo kuǐ lěi ， zhǎng sān zhàng yú ， bèi shēng shuāng chì ， shén tōng dà gài néng yǔ huà xíng chū qī de yāo shòu xiāng bǐ 。 lín xuān bìng bù rèn shí ， dàn xiǎng lái yīng gāi shì tiān qiǎo mén de rén wù 。
然而出手却十分阴毒，同样是一元婴后期的老怪物，与他相伴的还有一虎妖傀儡，长三丈余，背生双翅，神通大概能与化形初期的妖兽相比。林轩并不认识，但想来应该是天巧门的人物。
However, his actions were extremely vicious. He was also an old monster at the late Inner Core Stage, accompanied by a puppet tiger demon that was over threeyard long, with wings on its back. Its abilities could be compared to those of a初级 (this term is already in English) Shape-Shifter. Lin Xuan didn't recognize him but guessed he should be from the Heavenlyclever/crafty/qiǎo (the character "巧" can have multiple meanings depending on context) Sect.
guāng zhè èr rén lián shǒu ， shí lì jiù shèng guò le jù guài yī chóu ， hé kuàng hái yǒu jìn bǎi míng lǎo guài wù ， qí tā lüè dī jiē xiū shì jiù suàn còu shù ， duō shǎo yě néng gòu qǐ dào yì diǎn yòng tú 。
光这二人联手，实力就胜过了巨怪一筹，何况还有近百名老怪物，其他略低阶修士就算凑数，多少也能够起到一点用途。
With these two working together, their combined strength surpassed that of the giant monster. Moreover, there were nearly a hundred old monsters, and even if some lower-stage cultivators joined in for numbers, they could still serve a purpose.
jù guài jǐ cì shì tú táo zǒu ， dōu bèi yìng shēng shēng de bī le huí lái ， yǎn jiàn shēng jī liǎo wú ， zhè jiā huo yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ fēng kuáng zhī sè ， jìng rán bù guǎn nà xiē yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù ， chōng jìn dī jiē xiū shì zhōng sì yì tú chuō 。 yī shí jiān ， cǎn jiào shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， yuán yīng lǎo guài yě bù yóu de dà nù 。
巨怪几次试图逃走，都被硬生生的逼了回来，眼见生机了无，这家伙眼中闪过一缕疯狂之色，竟然不管那些元婴期老怪物，冲进低阶修士中肆意屠戳。一时间，惨叫声此起彼伏，元婴老怪也不由得大怒。
The giant monster attempted to flee several times but was forced back each time. Seeing no hope, this creature's eyes flashed with madness as it began indiscriminately slaughtering the lower-stage cultivators. Screams echoed everywhere, and even the old monsters couldn't help getting angry.
gè zhǎn shén tōng ， tiān dì wèi zhī biàn sè 。
各展神通，天地为之变色。
Each cultivator displayed their abilities, causing the sky to change color.
shù gè shí chén zhī hòu ， bàn suí zhe bù gān de nù hǒu ， jù guài zhōng yú yǔn luò ， biàn chéng le yī duī pò suì de shí tou ， ér zhè yī zhàn ， zú zú yǔn luò le qī bā qiān xiū shì ， yǐ dī jiē de jū duō ， dāng rán yě yǒu jǐ míng dǎo méi de yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ，“ ē mí tuó fó ！”
数个时辰之后，伴随着不甘的怒吼，巨怪终于陨落，变成了一堆破碎的石头，而这一战，足足陨落了七八千修士，以低阶的居多，当然也有几名倒霉的元婴期修仙者，“阿弥陀佛！”
After a few hours, amidst the unwilling roar of anger, the giant monster finally fell. The remaining cultivators ignored the treasures scattered around them.
kōng xuàn dà shī shuāng shǒu hé shí ， liǎn shàng lù chū cí bēi zhī yì ， bù guò qí tā de xiū xiān zhě ， kě méi yǒu nà yàng de qì dù ， yuán yīng lǎo guài hái hǎo ， yí gè gè shēn jiā fēng hòu ， ér qiě duō shǎo shì yào yī xiē miàn zi de 。
空眩大师双手合十，脸上露出慈悲之意，不过其他的修仙者，可没有那样的气度，元婴老怪还好，一个个身家丰厚，而且多少是要一些面子的。
"Ha ha, fellow Inner Core cultivators, your noble and upright conduct in eradicating evil without seeking rewards is admirable. Other cultivators may have empty pockets, so there's no need to be too polite," the Thousand Buddha Sect monk declared with a smile. The young disciple, Lei Yin, didn't say much but sneered inwardly.
bié de xiū shì ， zhī suǒ yǐ gǎn lái tú mó ， shì yīn wèi tīng shuō zhè jù guài tūn shí le xǔ duō dào yǒu ， xuè ròu gǔ kě yǐ xī shōu ， kě xiū shì suí shēn xié dài de bǎo wù ， zǒng bù chéng yě xiāo huà le 。
别的修士，之所以赶来屠魔，是因为听说这巨怪吞食了许多道友，血肉牯可以吸收，可修士随身携带的宝物，总不成也消化了。
The surrounding cultivators stirred, their breathing gradually becoming heavier, but still, no one moved.
cǐ shí de guài wù ， yǐ jīng biàn chéng le yī duī duī dà xiǎo bù yī de suì shí ， zài nà xiē shí fèng zhōng ， yǐn yǐn kě jiàn liàng jīng jīng de bǎo wù 。
此时的怪物，已经变成了一堆堆大小不一的碎石，在那些石缝中，隐隐可见亮晶晶的宝物。
Empty words were easy to speak, but in the cutthroat world of cultivation, most people had originally hoped to wait for the Inner Core cultivators to take the lion's share and then pick up what was left. They didn't expect these old monsters to pretend to be noble and let others take the treasures.
xiū shì men rén tóu cuán dòng ， yí gè gè yǎn jīng tōng hóng 。
修士们人头攒动，一个个眼睛通红。
This unexpected windfall made them hesitate; no one wanted to be the first to step forward. After a few minutes, someone finally stepped out of the crowd.
bié shuō fǎ bǎo le ， jiù suàn shì gè jiē líng qì ， yě néng gòu jià zhí shàng bǎi dào shù qiān jīng shí 。
别说法宝了，就算是各阶灵器，也能够价值上百到数千晶石。
Standing at two meters tall but with negligible cultivation, he was around twenty years old, looking rather simple-minded. His name was Zhang Dazhu, originally just an ordinary peasant boy who had stumbled upon the path of cultivation by chance. Despite his mediocre talents and status as a scattered cultivator, he had only managed to reach the late Fluttering Spirit Stage after seven or eight years of effort.
shèn zhì hái yǒu yī xiē yù tǒng ， yě xǔ lǐ miàn de gōng fǎ bù cuò 。
甚至还有一些玉筒，也许里面的功法不错。
Hearing about the mountain monster, he happened to be nearby and came to join in the commotion out of curiosity. The fierce battle left him stunned but fortunately unharmed due to his good fortune.
“ zhū wèi dào yǒu ， dà jiā xiǎng yìng běn zōng yǔ tiān qiǎo mén de hào zhào lái chú mó ， rú jīn lì xià mò dà gōng dé ， wǒ yǔ léi yīn xià dào yǒu què méi yǒu shén me kě yǐ dá xiè dà jiā de ， zhè niè zhàng yī lù zǒu lái ， shēng líng tú tàn ， bù shǎo tóng dào mìng sàng tā kǒu ， rú jīn zhè xiē fǎ bǎo líng qì ， dōu chéng liǎo wú zhǔ zhī wù ， wǒ yǔ léi yīn tóng zi zuò zhǔ ， jiù jiāng gǔ shǎng cì gěi zhū wèi dào yǒu le 。”
“诸位道友，大家响应本宗与天巧门的号召来除魔，如今立下莫大功德，我与雷阴丅道友却没有什么可以答谢大家的，这孽障一路走来，生灵涂炭，不少同道命丧他口，如今这些法宝灵器，都成了无主之物，我与雷阴童子做主，就将牯赏赐给诸位道友了。”
Seeing the bright treasures before him, Zhang Dazhu's heart ached with desire. He had been in cultivation for so long without acquiring any decent treasure. His entire fortune consisted of just some talismans, though he felt uncomfortable about the situation, he couldn't resist.
kōng xuàn shén sēng huǎn huǎn kāi kǒu ， sì zhōu dùn shí huān shēng léi dòng ， xiū shì men hū xī yě dōu jiā zhòng ， bù guò yuán yīng lǎo guài què méi yǒu dòng shǒu 。
空眩神僧缓缓开口，四周顿时欢声雷动，修士们呼吸也都加重，不过元婴老怪却没有动手。
This person was straightforward and quickly ran forward to kneel three times before an old Inner Core cultivator floating mid-air: "Thank you, Senior."
qū qū fǎ bǎo hái bù fàng zài tā men yǎn zhōng ， hé kuàng lái cǐ chú mó ， zhǔ yào shì xiǎng yǔ liǎng zōng jiāo hǎo ， jiù suàn xīn zhōng yǒu xiē xǔ tān lán niàn tou ， yě fàng bù xià shēn duàn dī jiē xiū shì yì qǐ hōng qiǎng ， rú guǒ shì zài pì jìng wú rén de dì fāng ， lǎo guài wù men yí gè gè dōu xǐ huān shā rén qiǎng bǎo ， kě dāng zhe rú cǐ duō tóng jiē cún zài ， què gù zuò qīng gāo le qǐ lái 。
区区法宝还不放在他们眼中，何况来此除魔，主要是想与两宗交好，就算心中有些许贪婪念头，也放不下身段低阶修士一起哄抢，如果是在僻静无人的地方，老怪物们一个个都喜欢杀人抢宝，可当着如此多同阶存在，却故作清高了起来。
Then he stood up and rushed towards a large stone. He pulled out something from its cracks—a flying knife that looked unremarkable but had high quality, being a SuperiorHao Artifact.
“ hē hē ， gè wèi yuán yīng tóng dào gāo fēng liàng jié ， chú mó bù qiú huí bào ， qí tā dào yǒu huò xǔ náng zhōng xiū sè ， jiù wú xū tài guò kè qì le 。” kōng xuàn shén sēng gāo xuān fó hào ， wēi xiào zhe kāi kǒu dào 。 nà léi yīn tóng zi biǎo miàn méi shuō shén me ， zuǐ jiǎo biān què lù chū yī sī jī fěng zhī sè 。 tīng le zhè huà ， sì zhōu de xiū shì yī zhèn sāo dòng ， hū xī jiàn jiàn biàn cū ， dàn hái shì wú rén xíng dòng 。
“呵呵，各位元婴同道高风亮节，除魔不求回报，其他道友或许囊中羞涩，就无需太过客气了。”空眩神僧高宣佛号，微笑着开口道。那雷阴童子表面没说什么，嘴角边却露出一丝讥讽之色。听了这话，四周的修士一阵骚动，呼吸渐渐变粗，但还是无人行动。
The old Inner Core cultivators didn't intervene.
piào liàng huà shéi dōu huì shuō ， kě xiū xiān jiè shì ruò ròu qiáng shí de ， zhàn zài zhè lǐ de dà bù fèn rén ， yuán běn dōu bào zhe děng yuán yīng qī xiū shì zhàn qù dà bù fèn hǎo chù ， zì jǐ jiǎn lòu hē yì diǎn tāng de niàn tou 。 méi xiǎng dào zhè xiē lǎo guài wù gù zuò qīng gāo ， jū rán méi rén qián qù zhēng qiǎng 。
漂亮话谁都会说，可修仙界是弱肉强食的，站在这里的大部分人，原本都抱着等元婴期修士占去大部分好处，自己检漏喝一点汤的念头。没想到这些老怪物故作清高，居然没人前去争抢。
It seemed these fellows were genuinely willing to give up the benefits before them.
rú cǐ tiān shàng diào xiàn bǐng de hǎo shì ， fǎn ér ràng tā men dà wēi chí yí ， zhì shǎo méi yǒu rén xiǎng qù dāng chū tóu niǎo 。
如此天上掉馅饼的好事，反而让他们大威迟疑，至少没有人想去当出头鸟。
With someone already taking an early lead, no one wanted to be left behind. Thousands of cultivators turned into streaks of light and rushed towards the giant pile of rubble. Greed was their priority; they didn't even bother thanking those old monsters.
yī qún rén miàn miàn xiāng qù ， mù guāng yóu lí ， jiù zhè yàng bàn zhǎn chá de shí jiān guò qù ， zhōng yú yí gè rén zǒu chū le rén qún 。
一群人面面相觑，目光游离，就这样半盏茶的时间过去，终于一个人走出了人群。
Seeing the chaos, the Thousand Buddha Sect monk frowned: "Fellow cultivators, there are many treasures here. The first to arrive gets them. Don't damage our harmony. If anyone tries to take something, don't blame me for not holding back."
shēn gāo zú yǒu liǎng mǐ ， rán ér xiū wèi què bù zhí yī tí ， dà yuē èr shí yú suì nián jì ， yī fù hān tóu hān nǎo de yàng zi 。 cǐ rén xìng zhāng ， xiǎo hào dà zhù ， yuán běn shì yī pǔ tōng de xiāng xià zǐ dì ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， zǒu shàng le xiū xiān zhī lù ， kě tā zī zhì shí zài méi yǒu chū zhòng zhī chù ， yòu shì sàn xiū ， nǔ lì le qī bā nián ， yě jǐn jǐn zài líng dòng zhōng qī pái huái ，
身高足有两米，然而修为却不值一提，大约二十余岁年纪，一副憨头憨脑的样子。此人姓章，小号大柱，原本是一普通的乡下子弟，机缘巧合，走上了修仙之路，可他资质实在没有出众之处，又是散修，努力了七八年，也仅仅在灵动中期徘徊，
"Hmph, what a hypocritical monk," Lin Xuan thought as he arrived to observe and gather information. His wealth wouldn't make him care about such trash, but he had disguised himself as a Condensation Core cultivator to avoid drawing attention. He followed the crowd into the rubble.
zhè cì tīng shuō yǒu shān guài ， tā qià qiǎo zài fù jìn bù yuǎn ， biàn lái còu yī còu rè nào ， bèi nà tiān hūn dì àn de dòu fǎ xià dé mù dèng kǒu dāi ， hǎo zài yùn qì bù cuò ， bù jǐn méi yǒu yǔn luò ， lián sī háo shāng hén yě méi yǒu 。
这次听说有山怪，他恰巧在附近不远，便来凑一凑热闹，被那天昏地暗的斗法吓得目瞪口呆，好在运气不错，不仅没有陨落，连丝毫伤痕也没有。
"Master, you said something? I think Master Thousand Buddha has a kind face and benevolent demeanor based on his words and actions."
cǐ kè kàn zhuó yǎn qián liàng jīng jīng de bǎo wù ， zhāng dà zhù xīn yǎng nán náo ， tā zài xiū xiān jiè hùn le zhè me jiǔ ， què lián yī jiàn xiàng yàng de líng qì dōu méi yǒu ， quán bù shēn jiā ， bù guò jǐ zhāng fú ， suī rán yě jué de yǎn qián de qíng jǐng yǒu xiē bù tuǒ ， dàn shí zài rěn nài bú zhù 。
此刻看着眼前亮晶晶的宝物，章大柱心痒难挠，他在修仙界混了这么久，却连一件像样的灵器都没有，全部身家，不过几张符，虽然也觉得眼前的情景有些不妥，但实在忍耐不住。
"Hmph, a virtuous monk, an Inner Core Stage cultivator at the late stage, thinks he hasn't experienced the harsh realities of cultivation. He's only letting go of these treasures because they're beneath him. 'First come, first served,' but no one is allowed to take them. On the surface, it seems like compassion, but in reality, he's sowing discord," Lin Xuan said coldly.
cǐ rén xìng zi lǔ zhí ， dāng jí kuài bù pǎo chū ， chōng zhe xuán fú zài bàn kōng de yuán yīng lǎo guài men kē le sān gè tóu ：“ xiè xiè qián bèi shǎng cì le 。”
此人性子鲁直，当即快步跑出，冲着悬浮在半空的元婴老怪们磕了三个头：“谢谢前辈赏赐了。”
"Master, I don't understand."
rán hòu zhàn qǐ ， pǎo xiàng shēn qián de yī kuài jù shí ， cóng shí fèng zhōng tāo chū yī wù ， shì yī bǐng fēi dāo ， xíng zhuàng méi yǒu sī háo qǐ yǎn zhī chù ， kě pǐn jiē què shì bù dī ， gāo jí hào qì 。 ér nà xiē yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù ， guǒ rán méi yǒu rén zhàn chū lái zǔ zhǐ 。 yī líng dòng qī de sàn xiū dōu dé le hǎo chù ， qí yú de xiū xiān zhě nǎ lǐ hái rěn nài dé zhù
然后站起，跑向身前的一块巨石，从石缝中掏出一物，是一柄飞刀，形状没有丝毫起眼之处，可品阶却是不低，高级昊器。而那些元婴期老怪物，果然没有人站出来阻止。一灵动期的散修都得了好处，其余的修仙者哪里还忍耐得住
"Stupid girl, think about it. The jungle law has always been part of cultivation since ancient times. He pretends to be good so that whoever gets the treasure is entitled to it. If a Fluttering Spirit cultivator were lucky enough to find a talisman and an Inner Core cultivator was nearby, what would happen? With this monk's influence, no one dares to take anything, but once he leaves..."
lì kè yòu yǒu qī bā rén pǎo chū ， xiū wèi yě shì cēn cī bù qí ， zuì chà de bǐ zhāng dà zhù nì dī ， zuì gāo de yǐ yǒu zhù jī hòu qī ， yǒu de chōng yuán yīng qī lǎo guài men kē tóu ， yǒu de jǐn jǐn shì wā quán xíng lǐ ， rán hòu yě pǎo xiàng le qián miàn de dà piàn suì shí ， kāi shǐ fān zhǎo zhōng yì de bǎo wù 。
立刻又有七八人跑出，修为也是参差不齐，最差的比章大柱逆低，最高的已有筑基后期，有的冲元婴期老怪们磕头，有的仅仅是挖拳行礼，然后也跑向了前面的大片碎石，开始翻找中意的宝物。
"If he doesn't say 'first come, first served' and allows everyone to grab them, lower-stage cultivators will hesitate and won't touch the valuable treasures. Meanwhile, Inner Core cultivators wouldn't bother with small artifacts, creating a tacit agreement that avoids conflicts. The Thousand Buddha monk's actions gain him a reputation for compassion while secretly causing chaos. What cunning!"
yuán yīng lǎo guài men yī jiù shì ruò wú dǔ 。
元婴老怪们依旧视若无睹。
Hearing this, Yue'er felt a chill. She never imagined such a kind-faced high monk could be so vicious. Even the old Inner Core cultivators had deep scheming.
kàn lái zhè xiē jiā huo shì zhēn de yuàn yì ràng chū yǎn qián de hǎo chù 。
看来这些家伙是真的愿意让出眼前的好处。
Unfortunately, clever people like Lin Xuan were rare. Even if there were any, it wouldn't help much since revealing the monk's plot would only invite criticism for having small-minded thoughts about virtuous people. Who dared offend an Inner Core Stage cultivator from the Thousand Buddha Sect?
yǐ jīng yǒu rén zhàn xiān le ， rú guǒ zài luò hòu ， qǐ bù shì bǎo bèi dōu luò zài le bié rén de shǒu zhōng 。
已经有人占先了，如果再落后，岂不是宝贝都落在了别人的手中。
Lin Xuan naturally didn't care but saw no benefit in stirring up trouble. The monk's scheme was indeed vicious, but who could blame the lower-stage cultivators' greed? Strength preserved wealth; a rookie relying on a powerful cultivator to take on Inner Core cultivators for a treasure wasn't smart.
sì zhōu shù yǐ qiān jì de móu shì nǎo hǎi zhōng shǎn guò zhè ge niàn tou ， méi yǒu rén yuàn yì děng zài yuǎn chù ， huà wèi jīng hóng ， pū xiàng le yǎn qián nà jù dà de luàn shí zhōng 。 lì zì dāng tóu ， shèn zhì lái bù jí duì nà xiē lǎo guài wù men biǎo shì xiè yì 。
四周数以千计的缪士脑海中闪过这个念头，没有人愿意等在远处，化为惊虹，扑向了眼前那巨大的乱石中。利字当头，甚至来不及对那些老怪物们表示谢意。
Formlessness is form, and form is formlessness. Greed brought its own downfall. These crystals weren't treasures; they were death warrants.
kàn jiàn xiū shì men luàn hōng hōng de kāi shǐ fēng qiǎng ， kōng xuàn shén sēng méi tóu huī zhòu ，“ zhū wèi dào yǒu ， bǎo wù hěn duō ， dà jiā xiān dào xiān dé ， qiè bù kě shāng le hé qì ， rú guǒ yǒu rén dòng shǒu 「 jiù bié guài lǎo nà bú kè qì le 。”
看见修士们乱哄哄的开始疯抢，空眩神僧眉头徽皱，“诸位道友，宝物很多，大家先到先得，切不可伤了和气，如果有人动手「就别怪老衲不客气了。”
Lin Xuan's face showed a sneer as he observed the chaos. His mind raced: The Thousand Buddha Sect was powerful, but this monk was cunning. As a high-ranking cultivator, why would he stir up trouble among lower-stage cultivators? It made no sense to him.
“ hēng ， hǎo yí gè xū wěi de hé shàng 。” lín xuān lái dào cǐ chù ， shì xiǎng còu rè nào shùn biàn dǎ tīng yī xià xiāo xī ， yǐ tā de shēn jiā ， zì rán bú huì jiāng zhè xiē lā jī bǎo wù fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， kě tā rú jīn shōu liǎn qì xī ， wěi zhuāng chéng yī míng níng dān qī xiū shì ， rú guǒ zhàn zài yuán dì ， qǐ bù yǐn rén zhǔ mù ， yú shì yě gēn suí rén qún ， lái dào le suì shí zhōng 。“ shào yé ， nǐ shuō shén me ， wǒ jué de jìng wèi kōng xuàn dà shī cí méi shàn mù ， cóng qí yán xíng ， jiù shì yī wèi yǒu dé gāo sēng de 。”
“哼，好一个虚伪的和尚。”林轩来到此处，是想凑热闹顺便打听一下消息，以他的身家，自然不会将这些垃圾宝物放在眼里，可他如今收敛气息，伪装成一名凝丹期修士，如果站在原地，岂不引人瞩目，于是也跟随人群，来到了碎石中。“少爷，你说什么，我觉得迳位空眩大师慈眉善目，从其言行，就是一位有德高僧的。”
However, soon Lin Xuan laughed silently. Why think so much about it? He had no conflict with the Thousand Buddha Sect; whether they were plotting or not didn't matter to him.
“ hēng ， yǒu dé gāo sēng ， táng táng yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ，$$； yǐ wéi tā méi yǒu jīng lì xīng fēng xuè yǔ me ， zhī suǒ yǐ ràng chū zhè xiē bǎo wù ， bù guò shì kàn bù shàng yǎn bà le ， shén me xiān dào xiān dé ， hái bù xǔ dòng shǒu qiǎng ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn shì cí bēi xīn cháng ， qí shí què shì dǎi dú de jiāng huò gēn mái xià 。” lín xuān lěng xiào zhe shuō 。“ shào yé ， xiǎo bì bù dǒng 。” yuè ér zhòu le zhòu méi ， tīng dé mǎn tóu wù shuǐ 。
“哼，有德高僧，堂堂元婴后期的修仙者，$$；以为他没有经历腥风血雨么，之所以让出这些宝物，不过是看不上眼罢了，什么先到先得，还不许动手抢，表面上看是慈悲心肠，其实却是歹毒的将祸根埋下。”林轩冷笑着说。“少爷，小婢不懂。”月儿皱了皱眉，听得满头雾水。
With this thought, he felt relieved and released his divine senses to survey the scene. Idle hands were better busy. He wanted to see how many treasures the giant monster had swallowed.
“ shǎ yā tou ，$$； xiǎng ， cóng lín fǎ zé ， cóng shàng gǔ shí qī ， xiū xiān jiè biàn yì zhí rú cǐ ， tā （8 jiāng yào zhuāng hǎo rén ， ràng dà jiā shuí ná dào bǎo wù jiù shì shéi de ， nà wǒ wèn $$；， yī míng líng dòng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， rú guǒ yùn qì hǎo ， jiǎn dào yī jiàn fǎ bǎo ， páng biān de níng dān qī xiū shì huì zěn me yàng ， xiàn zài yǒu zhè hé shàng yā zhì ， zì rán bù gǎn dòng shǒu ， kě děng tā yí dàn zǒu le ……”
“傻丫头，$$；想，丛林法则，从上古时期，修仙界便一直如此，他（8僵要装好人，让大家谁拿到宝物就是谁的，那我问$$；，一名灵动期的修仙者，如果运气好，捡到一件法宝，旁边的凝丹期修士会怎么样，现在有这和尚压制，自然不敢动手，可等他一旦走了……”
"Ah?" Lin Xuan's pupils suddenly constricted as he stared at a piece of rubble over a hundred feet away. His heart raced. Moon Crystal! It was an exquisite Moon Crystal!
“ rú guǒ tā bù shuō shén me xiān dào xiān dé ， zhǔn xǔ dà jiā qiǎng de huà ， dī jiē xiū shì xīn yǒu gù jì ， fǎn ér bú huì qù dòng nà xiē bǎo guì de dōng xī ， ér níng dān qī xiū shì yě bú huì qù hé tā men qiǎng xiǎo xiǎo de líng qì ， zhè yàng suàn shì yī zhǒng jiù qì ， fǎn ér bú huì yǒu duō shǎo fēn zhēng ， ér kōng xuàn hé shàng rú cǐ zuò ， jì bó dé le cí bēi de měi míng ， yòu bù dòng shēng sè de yǐn qǐ le yī cháng xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， hǎo xīn jī ， hǎo suàn jì ！”
“如果他不说什么先到先得，准许大家抢的话，低阶修士心有顾忌，反而不会去动那些宝贵的东西，而凝丹期修士也不会去和他们抢小小的灵器，这样算是一种就契，反而不会有多少纷争，而空眩和尚如此做，既博得了慈悲的美名，又不动声色的引起了一场腥风血雨，好心机，好算计！”
Lin Xuan couldn't help but show extreme joy on his face. Ordinary Moon Crystals were useless, even used to build houses by the Snowy Dawn Sect. But this exquisite Moon Crystal could rival South Bright Separation Fire, a miraculous cold attribute.

听林轩这么说，月儿也一阵心寒，想不到这位慈眉善目的高僧，尽是心肠如此歹毒的人物。元婴期老怪物，除了修为，一个个的城府，也是够可怕的。
He hadn't seen one in two hundred years, but quickly he felt a greedy gaze. The Thousand Buddha Sect monk had also discovered this treasure.
Continuous screams of agony filled the air, but no matter how rampant the giant monster was, it couldn't possibly withstand a direct confrontation with all the Immortal Warriors present. After all, there were nearly a hundred old monsters at the peak of the Inner Core Stage.
Apart from the Hall of Arhats in the Thousand Buddha Sect, another cultivator caught everyone's attention. This person stood less than three feet tall, with rosy lips and white teeth, looking like a young boy.
However, his actions were extremely vicious. He was also an old monster at the late Inner Core Stage, accompanied by a puppet tiger demon that was over threeyard long, with wings on its back. Its abilities could be compared to those of a初级 (this term is already in English) Shape-Shifter. Lin Xuan didn't recognize him but guessed he should be from the Heavenlyclever/crafty/qiǎo (the character "巧" can have multiple meanings depending on context) Sect.
With these two working together, their combined strength surpassed that of the giant monster. Moreover, there were nearly a hundred old monsters, and even if some lower-stage cultivators joined in for numbers, they could still serve a purpose.
The giant monster attempted to flee several times but was forced back each time. Seeing no hope, this creature's eyes flashed with madness as it began indiscriminately slaughtering the lower-stage cultivators. Screams echoed everywhere, and even the old monsters couldn't help getting angry.
Each cultivator displayed their abilities, causing the sky to change color.
After a few hours, amidst the unwilling roar of anger, the giant monster finally fell. The remaining cultivators ignored the treasures scattered around them.
"Ha ha, fellow Inner Core cultivators, your noble and upright conduct in eradicating evil without seeking rewards is admirable. Other cultivators may have empty pockets, so there's no need to be too polite," the Thousand Buddha Sect monk declared with a smile. The young disciple, Lei Yin, didn't say much but sneered inwardly.
The surrounding cultivators stirred, their breathing gradually becoming heavier, but still, no one moved.
Empty words were easy to speak, but in the cutthroat world of cultivation, most people had originally hoped to wait for the Inner Core cultivators to take the lion's share and then pick up what was left. They didn't expect these old monsters to pretend to be noble and let others take the treasures.
This unexpected windfall made them hesitate; no one wanted to be the first to step forward. After a few minutes, someone finally stepped out of the crowd.
Standing at two meters tall but with negligible cultivation, he was around twenty years old, looking rather simple-minded. His name was Zhang Dazhu, originally just an ordinary peasant boy who had stumbled upon the path of cultivation by chance. Despite his mediocre talents and status as a scattered cultivator, he had only managed to reach the late Fluttering Spirit Stage after seven or eight years of effort.
Hearing about the mountain monster, he happened to be nearby and came to join in the commotion out of curiosity. The fierce battle left him stunned but fortunately unharmed due to his good fortune.
Seeing the bright treasures before him, Zhang Dazhu's heart ached with desire. He had been in cultivation for so long without acquiring any decent treasure. His entire fortune consisted of just some talismans, though he felt uncomfortable about the situation, he couldn't resist.
This person was straightforward and quickly ran forward to kneel three times before an old Inner Core cultivator floating mid-air: "Thank you, Senior."
Then he stood up and rushed towards a large stone. He pulled out something from its cracks—a flying knife that looked unremarkable but had high quality, being a SuperiorHao Artifact.
The old Inner Core cultivators didn't intervene.
It seemed these fellows were genuinely willing to give up the benefits before them.
With someone already taking an early lead, no one wanted to be left behind. Thousands of cultivators turned into streaks of light and rushed towards the giant pile of rubble. Greed was their priority; they didn't even bother thanking those old monsters.
Seeing the chaos, the Thousand Buddha Sect monk frowned: "Fellow cultivators, there are many treasures here. The first to arrive gets them. Don't damage our harmony. If anyone tries to take something, don't blame me for not holding back."
"Hmph, what a hypocritical monk," Lin Xuan thought as he arrived to observe and gather information. His wealth wouldn't make him care about such trash, but he had disguised himself as a Condensation Core cultivator to avoid drawing attention. He followed the crowd into the rubble.
"Master, you said something? I think Master Thousand Buddha has a kind face and benevolent demeanor based on his words and actions."
"Hmph, a virtuous monk, an Inner Core Stage cultivator at the late stage, thinks he hasn't experienced the harsh realities of cultivation. He's only letting go of these treasures because they're beneath him. 'First come, first served,' but no one is allowed to take them. On the surface, it seems like compassion, but in reality, he's sowing discord," Lin Xuan said coldly.
"Master, I don't understand."
"Stupid girl, think about it. The jungle law has always been part of cultivation since ancient times. He pretends to be good so that whoever gets the treasure is entitled to it. If a Fluttering Spirit cultivator were lucky enough to find a talisman and an Inner Core cultivator was nearby, what would happen? With this monk's influence, no one dares to take anything, but once he leaves..."
"If he doesn't say 'first come, first served' and allows everyone to grab them, lower-stage cultivators will hesitate and won't touch the valuable treasures. Meanwhile, Inner Core cultivators wouldn't bother with small artifacts, creating a tacit agreement that avoids conflicts. The Thousand Buddha monk's actions gain him a reputation for compassion while secretly causing chaos. What cunning!"
Hearing this, Yue'er felt a chill. She never imagined such a kind-faced high monk could be so vicious. Even the old Inner Core cultivators had deep scheming.
Unfortunately, clever people like Lin Xuan were rare. Even if there were any, it wouldn't help much since revealing the monk's plot would only invite criticism for having small-minded thoughts about virtuous people. Who dared offend an Inner Core Stage cultivator from the Thousand Buddha Sect?
Lin Xuan naturally didn't care but saw no benefit in stirring up trouble. The monk's scheme was indeed vicious, but who could blame the lower-stage cultivators' greed? Strength preserved wealth; a rookie relying on a powerful cultivator to take on Inner Core cultivators for a treasure wasn't smart.
Formlessness is form, and form is formlessness. Greed brought its own downfall. These crystals weren't treasures; they were death warrants.
Lin Xuan's face showed a sneer as he observed the chaos. His mind raced: The Thousand Buddha Sect was powerful, but this monk was cunning. As a high-ranking cultivator, why would he stir up trouble among lower-stage cultivators? It made no sense to him.
However, soon Lin Xuan laughed silently. Why think so much about it? He had no conflict with the Thousand Buddha Sect; whether they were plotting or not didn't matter to him.
With this thought, he felt relieved and released his divine senses to survey the scene. Idle hands were better busy. He wanted to see how many treasures the giant monster had swallowed.
"Ah?" Lin Xuan's pupils suddenly constricted as he stared at a piece of rubble over a hundred feet away. His heart raced. Moon Crystal! It was an exquisite Moon Crystal!
Lin Xuan couldn't help but show extreme joy on his face. Ordinary Moon Crystals were useless, even used to build houses by the Snowy Dawn Sect. But this exquisite Moon Crystal could rival South Bright Separation Fire, a miraculous cold attribute.
He hadn't seen one in two hundred years, but quickly he felt a greedy gaze. The Thousand Buddha Sect monk had also discovered this treasure.
