林轩的小心起到了效果，而以他的遁术，三天后，更是在千万里之外了，空眩和尚虽然恨∽骨，但找不到人，也只有徒唤奈何。
Lin Xuan's caution proved effective. With his evasion techniques, three days later, he was already a million miles away. Although Venerable Empty Gaze was filled with hatred, he could do nothing but sigh helplessly without finding Lin Xuan.
zhè shì yī piàn liǎo wú rén yān de huāng yuán ， bǎi lǐ zhī nèi shèn zhì kàn bú jiàn dòng wù ， zài yī zuò bù qǐ yǎn de xiǎo shān dǐng bù ， zhàn zhe yí miàn mào pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě 。 bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì lín xuān 。
这是一片了无人烟的荒原，百里之内甚至看不见动物，在一座不起眼的小山顶部，站着一面貌普通的修仙者。不用说，自然是林轩。
This was an uninhabited wasteland where not even animals could be seen for a hundred li. At the top of an unremarkable small hill stood a typical cultivator. It had to be Lin Xuan.
tā de shǒu zhōng bǎ wán zhe yī tī tòu líng lóng de bǎo wù ， tiān yuè shuǐ jīng zài rén jiè kě yù ér bù kě qiú ， bù guò wèi le cǐ bǎo ， yǔ wàn fú zōng jiāo wù ， jiū jìng zhí bù zhí dé ， lín xuān yě jué de yǒu xiē nán yǐ pàn duàn de 。 bù guò shì qíng jì yǐ shēng ， lín xuān yě bìng bù hòu huǐ 。
他的手中把玩着一剔透玲珑的宝物，天月水晶在人界可遇而不可求，不过为了此宝，与万佛宗交恶，究竟值不值得，林轩也觉得有些难以判断的。不过事情既已生，林轩也并不后悔。
He held a transparent and exquisite treasure in his hands, the Heavenly Moon Crystal. This crystal was rare in the mortal world, but due to its value, Lin Xuan felt it difficult to judge whether it was worth the conflict with the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect. However, since he already had it, he did not regret his decision.
yǐ tā de shén tōng ， tiān xià jǐn kě qù dé ， chú fēi yù jiàn lí hé qī lǎo guài wù ， fǒu zé jiù suàn shì miàn duì liǎng sān gè dà xiū shì ， dǎ bù guò ， táo zǒu què yě shì qīng ér yì jǔ de 。 hé kuàng chú le tiān yuè shuǐ jīng ， kōng xuàn hé shàng de chǔ wù dài yě luò rù le tā de shǒu lǐ 。
以他的神通，天下尽可去得，除非遇见离合期老怪物，否则就算是面对两三个大修士，打不过，逃走却也是轻而易举的。何况除了天月水晶，空眩和尚的储物袋也落入了他的手里。
With his divine abilities, he could travel anywhere in the world, unless facing a powerful immortal of the Separation and Union stage. Even if faced with two or three high-ranking cultivators, he could easily escape if he couldn't defeat them. Moreover, Venerable Empty Gaze's storage bracelet had also fallen into his hands.
zhè jiā huo zuò wèi luó hàn táng zuò ， shēn jiā jí qí bù sú ， gāo jiē jīng shí jiù yǒu shù bǎi kuài zhī duō ， zhè shì yī bǐ fēi cháng jīng rén de cái fù 。
这家伙做为罗汉堂座，身家极其不俗，高阶晶石就有数百块之多，这是一笔非常惊人的财富。
This fellow, as the head of the Arhat Hall, was extremely wealthy. He possessed hundreds of high-grade crystal stones, a staggering fortune.
chú cǐ yǐ wài ， hái yǒu jǐ jiàn fó mén zhì bǎo ， bǐ rú shuō nà bǐng néng gòu huà zuò dà péng de chán zhàng ， wēi lì zhuó shǒu fēi xiǎo 。 yǐ jí shí yú píng dān yào ！
除此以外，还有几件佛门至宝，比如说那柄能够化作大鹏的禅杖，威力着手非小。以及十余瓶丹药！
In addition to these treasures, there were several Buddhist artifacts such as the Zen staff that could transform into a great phoenix and its powerful effects, and over a dozen bottles of pills!
lín xuān wén le wén ， liǎn shàng lù chū xǐ sè ， xī rì tā kě shì líng yào shān shǎo zhǔ ， jiù suàn duì yú fó mén de dān yào bù shú ， dàn pàn duàn yī xià yào xìng què shì méi yǒu wèn tí de 。 quán shì shì hé yuán yīng xiū shì de liàn xiū dān yào ， pǐn jiē yě dōu hěn gāo 。 kě xī méi yǒu dān fāng 。 bù guò rén yào zhī zú ， zhè zhǒng shōu huò lín xuān yǐ jīng hěn mǎn yì le 。 cǐ wài ， tā hái zài chǔ wù dài zhōng xiàn le shí yú juǎn jīng shū 。
林轩闻了闻，脸上露出喜色，昔日他可是灵药山少主，就算对于佛门的丹药不熟，但判断一下药性却是没有问题的。全是适合元婴修士的炼休丹药，品阶也都很高。可惜没有丹方。不过人要知足，这种收获林轩已经很满意了。此外，他还在储物袋中现了十余卷经书。
Lin Xuan sniffed them, his face lighting up with joy. In his past life, he was the young master of Spirit Herb Mountain, so even if he wasn't familiar with Buddhist pills, he could still judge their properties accurately. They were all suitable for yin-yang essence pills and had high grades. Unfortunately, there were no pill formulas. But Lin Xuan was content with this harvest. Furthermore, he found several scrolls in the storage bracelet.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， duì fāng de jīn gāng bù huài tǐ shén gōng zhe shí bù cuò ， yú shì tā shuāng shǒu pěng shū ， yī juàn yī juàn de xì xì yán dú 。
林轩心中一喜，对方的金刚不坏体神功着实不错，于是他双手捧书，一卷一卷的细细研读。
Lin Xuan's heart leaped as the Vajra Invincible Body Divine Skill seemed quite impressive. However, it wasn't necessarily useful for him since he wasn't a Buddhist cultivator.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， dōu shì fó jīng chán lǐ ， bù guò tiān zhī dào lǐ miàn yǒu méi yǒu yǐn cáng zhe shén me hǎo dōng xī 。
表面上看，都是佛经禅理，不过天知道里面有没有隐藏着什么好东西。
"Simple, these dozen scrolls are unique copies handwritten by senior monks, with notes of their insights. They might be considered treasures, but they have nothing to do with us," Lin Xuan explained.
lín xuān nài zhe xìng zi ， zhè yī kàn jiù shì shù rì ， shén me 《 jīn gāng jīng 》、《 fǎ huá jīng 》、《 léng yán jīng 》、《 dì zàng jīng 》、《 wú liàng shòu jīng 》、《 shí shàn yè dào jīng 》 kàn le gè gǔn guā luàn shú 。
林轩耐着性子，这一看就是数日，什么《金刚经》、《法华经》、《楞严经》、《地藏经》、《无量寿经》、《十善业道经》看了个滚瓜乱熟。
"Oh, so they're still useless to us. Since I'm not a Buddhist cultivator, what use can we make of these scriptures?" Moon Like said dejectedly.
“ zěn me yàng ， shào yé ， yǒu méi yǒu shōu huò ， kě zhàn dào jīn gāng bù huài tǐ shén gōng de xiū liàn mì jí le ？” yuè ér yǒu xiē xīn jí de kāi kǒu 。 rán ér lín xuān de biǎo qíng yǒu xiē qí guài ， xiān diǎn le diǎn ， suí hòu yòu yáo qǐ tóu lái 。 zhè yàng de fǎn yìng zì rán jiāng shào nǚ nòng dé mǎn tóu wù shuǐ 。“ shào yé ， yǒu méi yǒu nǐ zhí shuō ， bié yòng zhè yàng de dòng zuò ， rén jiā bèn ， bù dǒng 。” yuè ér xiù méi wēi zhòu ， yǒu xiē yù mèn de kāi kǒu 。“ xiū liàn mì jí méi yǒu ， zhè xiē bù guò shì pǔ tōng de jīng shū ， yǔ shì sú miào yǔ zhōng de yě méi yǒu shén me bù tóng 。” lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， huǎn huǎn de shuō 。“ pǔ tōng jīng shū ， zěn me kě zé ？” yuè ér yī dāi ， liǎn shàng míng xiǎn lù chū le yì wài ：“ rú guǒ zhǐ shì pǔ tōng jīng shū de huà ， duì fāng wèi hé huì zhēn ér zhòng zhī de bǎo cún zài chǔ wù dài ？”
“怎么样，少爷，有没有收获，可战到金刚不坏体神功的修炼秘籍了？”月儿有些心急的开口。然而林轩的表情有些奇怪，先点了点，随后又摇起头来。这样的反应自然将少女弄得满头雾水。“少爷，有没有你直说，别用这样的动作，人家笨，不懂。”月儿秀眉微皱，有些郁闷的开口。“修炼秘籍没有，这些不过是普通的经书，与世俗庙宇中的也没有什么不同。”林轩叹了口气，缓缓的说。“普通经书，怎么可舴？”月儿一呆，脸上明显露出了意外：“如果只是普通经书的话，对方为何会珍而重之的保存在储物袋？”
"This isn't certain." Lin Xuan's face showed an eerie expression.
“ hěn jiǎn dān ， zhè shí jǐ juǎn jīng wén ， dōu shì qián bèi gāo sēng yòng shǒu chāo lù de gū běn ， shàng miàn biāo zhù yǒu xīn dé bǐ jì ， shuō shì bǎo bèi yě méi wèn tí ， bù guò què yǔ xiū xiān zhě méi shá guān xì 。”“ yuán lái rú cǐ ， nà duì wǒ men lái shuō hái shì fèi wù ， shào yé yòu bú shì fú zōng xiū xiān zhě ， zhè xiē jīng shū yǒu hé yòng chù 。” yuè ér yǒu xiē yù mèn de shuō 。“ zhè dǎo shì bù yí dìng de 。” lín xuān liǎn shàng què lù chū jǐ fēn guǐ yì zhī sè 。“ wèi hé ？” shào nǚ bù jiě de kāi kǒu le 。 lín xuān què xiàn rù le chén jiù ， shuō qǐ lái tā yě shì yì wài shōu huò ， jiū jìng shì bú shì nà yàng jì
“很简单，这十几卷经文，都是前辈高僧用手抄录的孤本，上面标注有心得笔记，说是宝贝也没问题，不过却与修仙者没啥关系。”“原来如此，那对我们来说还是废物，少爷又不是佛宗修仙者，这些经书有何用处。”月儿有些郁闷的说。“这倒是不一定的。”林轩脸上却露出几分诡异之色。“为何？”少女不解的开口了。林轩却陷入了沉就，说起来他也是意外收获，究竟是不是那样迹
"Why?" the girl asked in confusion.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， yǔ tóng jiē xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， lín xuān bù jǐn tān duō wù dé ， ér qiě xiū liàn de dù jí qí xùn ， zhè dōu yào guī gōng yú lán sè xīng hǎi ， ràng tā yǒu dà yào de dān yào kě yǐ tūn fú 。
众所周知，与同阶修士相比，林轩不仅贪多务得，而且修炼的度极其迅，这都要归功于蓝色星海，让他有大要的丹药可以吞服。
Lin Xuan fell into deep thought. It was indeed an unexpected bonus. He wasn't sure if it would work as intended.
liǎng bǎi duō nián jiù dào le yuán yīng zhōng qī dǐng fēng ， zhè ge dù bù gǎn shuō hòu wú lái zhě ， dàn qián miàn de gǔ rén shì kěn dìng bù duō 。
两百多年就到了元婴中期顶峰，这个度不敢说后无来者，但前面的古人是肯定不多。
It was well known that compared to his peers, not only did Lin Xuan pursue more knowledge and practice with great speed, but he also benefited greatly from the Blue Star Sea, which provided him with substantial elixirs.
kě dù tài kuài yě yǒu huài chù ， xīn jìng de mó lì míng xiǎn gēn bù shàng shén tōng de jìn dù ， lín xuān suī rán yě zhù yì dào le zhè ge wèn tí ， bìng yǒu yì xún zhǎo jī huì duàn liàn zì jǐ ， kě píng xīn lái shuō ， tā zhēn méi yǒu zhǎo dào shén me jiě jué de hǎo zhǔ yì 。 dào xīn bù wěn ！
可度太快也有坏处，心境的磨砺明显跟不上神通的进度，林轩虽然也注意到了这个问题，并有意寻找机会锻炼自己，可平心来说，他真没有找到什么解决的好主意。道心不稳！
In just over two hundred years, he reached the peak of middle-stage yin-yang essence. While he couldn't claim to be unparalleled, his predecessors were few.
yī shí bàn huì er kàn bù chū shén me huài chù ， dàn xiū liàn de shí hòu bù jǐn róng yì zǒu huǒ ， ér qiě rì hòu chōng jī lí hé zhī jìng de shí hòu yě huì bì zhǒu pǒ duō 。 zhè jiù rú tóng yī tiáo yǐn cáng zài àn chù de dú shé ， suí shí wēi xié zhe lín xuān de xiū xiān zhī lù 。
一时半会儿看不出什么坏处，但修炼的时候不仅容易走火，而且日后冲击离合之境的时候也会毕肘颇多。这就如同一条隐藏在暗处的毒蛇，随时威胁着林轩的修仙之路。
However, this rapid progress had its downsides. His mental cultivation lagged behind his divine abilities. Lin Xuan was aware of this problem and tried to find opportunities to strengthen himself, but he hadn't found a good solution yet—his mind was unstable!
yuán běn lín xuān yě xiǎng le yí gè bèn zhǔ yì ， děng jìn jiē dà xiū shì yǐ hòu ， jiù zàn huǎn xiū liàn ， qù dào hóng chén shì sú ， jīng lì xǐ nù āi nù ， màn màn jiāng zì jǐ de xīn jìng yì diǎn yì diǎn mó lì ， zhí dào yǔ zì jǐ de jìng jiè píng qí 。 kě píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè zhēn bú shì shén me hǎo zhǔ yì 。 duò rù hóng chén ， jiù yào chī kǔ 。 dāng rán ， duì lín xuān lái shuō ， wèi le xiū liàn ， zài duō de kǔ tóu yě bù suàn shén me jiù suàn shì shàng dāo shān ， xià yóu guō ， tā yě bú huì zhòu yī xià méi tóu -o
原本林轩也想了一个笨主意，等进阶大修士以后，就暂缓修炼，去到红尘世俗，经历喜怒哀怒，慢慢将自己的心境一点一点磨砺，直到与自己的境界平齐。可平心来说，这真不是什么好主意。堕入红尘，就要吃苦。当然，对林轩来说，为了修炼，在多的苦头也不算什么就算是上刀山，下油锅，他也不会皱一下眉头-o
While it didn’t show any immediate harm, it could lead to accidents during practice and make the breakthrough to the Separation and Union stage much more difficult. It was like a hidden snake that constantly threatened his path of cultivation.
kě zhè lǐ de kǔ ， shì tǐ yàn xǐ nù āi lè ， cái néng jiāng xīn jìng mó lì de ， jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì zài hóng chén shì sú ， cóng zuì bēi wēi de zuò qǐ ， dǎ bù huán shǒu ， mà bù huán kǒu 。** shàng de tòng kǔ bù suàn shén me ， kě zhè zhǒng mó liàn què yào jīng shòu nàn yǐ xiǎng xiàng de qū rǔ 。 dà jiā kě yǐ xiǎng xiàng yī xià ， lín xuān rú guǒ shì fán rén yě jiù bà le ， kě tā míng míng shì xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě yǐ jīng shì rén jiè zuì dǐng jiān de cún zài le ， què yào pǎo dào hóng chén ， shòu fán rén de qì ， suí biàn yī hùn hùn pō pí ， shèn zhì shì yī bèi jiē dào de qǐ gài tóu zi ， yě kě yǐ suí jiǎo dǎ tā ， mà tā 。 yǔ lín xuān bì xū rěn zhù ， zhǐ yǒu chī jǐn le shì jiān kǔ ， cái néng jiāng xīn jìng mó lì shàng qù de 。
可这里的苦，是体验喜怒哀乐，才能将心境磨砺的，简单的说，就是在红尘世俗，从最卑微的做起，打不还手，骂不还口。**上的痛苦不算什么，可这种磨练却要经受难以想象的屈辱。大家可以想象一下，林轩如果是凡人也就罢了，可他明明是修仙者，而且已经是人界最顶尖的存在了，却要跑到红尘，受凡人的气，随便一混混泼皮，甚至是一备街道的乞丐头子，也可以随佼打他，骂他。雨林轩必须忍住，只有吃尽了世间苦，才能将心境磨砺上去的。
Lin Xuan had thought of a crude idea: wait until he became a high-ranking cultivator, then take a break from cultivation and immerse himself in secular life, experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness to gradually hone his mind until it matched his realm. However, this was not a good plan; descending into the mundane world would mean enduring hardships.
hé zhè zhǒng jīng shén shàng de zhé mó xiāng bǐ ，** shàng de qiān dāo wàn guǎ yě bù suàn shén me ， xiǎng xiǎng yī yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě yào bèi shì sú de pō pí dǎ mà ， zhè xū yào duō me jiān qiáng de yì zhì a ！
和这种精神上的折磨相比，**上的千刀万剐也不算什么，想想一元婴期修仙者要被世俗的泼皮打骂，这需要多么坚强的意志啊！
But for Lin Xuan, enduring such hardships was nothing. Even if he had to endure the pain of being cut and stabbed, he wouldn't flinch. The real challenge lay in experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness to hone his mind. In other words, starting from the lowest position, he would have to accept any abuse without retaliation.
duì yú zì jǐ de xīn zhì ， lín xuān yí xiàng xiōng yǒu chéng zhú ， kě néng fǒu zuò dào nà yī bù ， tā yě méi yǒu bǎ wò 。 suǒ yǐ bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ ， lín xuān yě bù zhǔn bèi yòng zhè yàng cán kù de fāng fǎ mó liàn zì jǐ 。
对于自己的心智，林轩一向胸有成竹，可能否做到那一步，他也没有把握。所以不到万不得已，林轩也不准备用这样残酷的方法磨练自己。
The mental torture was far worse than physical pain. Imagine how strong one's willpower must be for a yin-yang essence cultivator to endure such humiliation in the mortal world!
zhè xiē nián ， tā yě fān yuè le bù shǎo gǔ jí ， kě zhè fāng miàn de jì zǎi hěn shǎo ， bì jìng nì tiān rén wù zhǐ shì shǎo shù ， xiū liàn dù dà duō shì yǔ líng gēn qíng kuàng píng qí de ， rú guǒ zī zhì gòu hǎo ， jí shǐ xiū liàn dù hěn kuài ， xīn jìng yě néng gēn shàng 。
这些年，他也翻阅了不少古籍，可这方面的记载很少，毕竟逆天人物只是少数，修炼度大多是与灵根情况平齐的，如果资质够好，即使修炼度很快，心境也能跟上。
Lin Xuan had always been confident about his mental fortitude, but he wasn't sure if he could reach that level. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t plan on using such harsh methods.
gě xiǎo jiàn 、 qín yán dōu shì zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， suǒ yǐ tā men tóng yàng shì liǎng bǎi nián jié yīng ， bǐ lín xuān màn bù shàng duō shǎo ， què méi yǒu chū xiàn dào xīn bù wěn de qíng kuàng 。
哿小剑、秦妍都是这种情况，所以他们同样是两百年结婴，比林轩慢不上多少，却没有出现道心不稳的情况。
Over the years, he had read many ancient texts, but there were few records of this issue. After all, only a few people defied nature; most cultivators' progress matched their spiritual roots. If one’s talent was good enough, even rapid advancement wouldn't lead to instability in the mind.
zhǐ yǒu yī xiē cǎi yòng bú zhèng cháng fāng fǎ jìn jí de xiū zhě ， bǐ rú shuō ， lín xuān ， zài qián qī ， tā shèn zhì líng gēn dōu méi yǒu ， hòu lái zài mò yuè zú ， suī rán fú shí le shèng guǒ ， jiāng líng gēn níng liàn chū lái le ， dàn yě bù guò zhōng děng （8 shàng 。
只有一些采用不正常方法晋级的修者，比如说，林轩，在前期，他甚至灵根都没有，后来在墨月族，虽然服食了圣果，将灵根凝炼出来了，但也不过中等（8上。
Cao Xiaojian and Qin Yan were such cases, so they had reached yin-yang essence in two hundred years without any mental issues.
lián yì líng gēn dōu bù rú ， gèng bú yào shuō ， yǔ qín yán huò zhě tián xiǎo jiàn zhè yàng de tiān cái xiāng bǐ le 。 rán ér lín xuān xiū liàn dé gèng kuài ， yīn wèi tā néng gòu jiāng líng dān dāng táng wán 。
连异灵根都不如，更不要说，与秦妍或者田小剑这样的天才相比了。然而林轩修炼得更快，因为他能够将灵丹当糖丸。
Only those who advanced through unconventional methods faced this problem. For example, Lin Xuan himself; he didn’t even have a spiritual root at first but managed to condense one after consuming the sacred fruit of the Moon Clan, reaching middle-grade (8).
kě shì dàng de fú shí dān yào ， duì xiū wèi dà yǒu hǎo chù ， xiàng lín xuān zhè yàng chī tài duō ， zào chéng zī zhì yǔ xiū liàn dù míng xiǎn bù fú ， què yǐn chū dào xīn bù wěn de yǐn huàn le 。 dāng rán ， zhè yàng de àn lì shǎo zhī yòu shǎo 。
可适当的服食丹药，对修为大有好处，像林轩这样吃太多，造成资质与修炼度明显不符，却引出道心不稳的隐患了。当然，这样的案例少之又少。
His spiritual root was inferior to ordinary ones and far less than that of geniuses like Qin Yan or Tian Xiaojian. However, Lin Xuan advanced more quickly because he could treat elixirs as candy.
dào yě bù yí dìng fēi yào shì chī líng yào ， yīn wèi yī xiē bié de nì tiān jī yuán ， xiū wèi bào zhǎng ， tóng yàng huì chū xiàn dào xīn bù wěn de qíng kuàng 。 yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， yuǎn zài qiān wàn lǐ zhī yáo 。 yī dī jiē xiū shì jù huì jiāo yì de fāng shì ， rén lái rén wǎng 。“ dà jiā kuài lái kàn a ， fǔ gǔ cǎo ， suī shì dú yào ， dàn zhǐ xū yào jiā shàng jǐ wèi fǔ liào ， jiù kě yǐ liàn zhì chéng zēng jiā wǒ men líng dòng qī xiū wèi de dān yào 。”
倒也不一定非要是吃灵药，因为一些别的逆天机缘，修为暴涨，同样会出现道心不稳的情况。与此同时，远在千万里之遥。一低阶修士聚会交易的坊市，人来人往。“大家快来看啊，腐骨草，虽是毒药，但只需要加上几位辅料，就可以炼制成增加我们灵动期修为的丹药。”
However, excessive consumption of pills led to a mismatch between his talent and cultivation speed, causing instability in the mind. Such cases were rare.
“ pín dào shǒu zhōng zhè bǎ huǒ yàn dāo ， kě shì yóu zhù jī zhōng qī de qián bèi qīn shǒu liàn zhì ， chuī máo duàn ， fēng ruì wú bǐ ， ér qiě hái fù dài yǒu huǒ dàn gōng jī ， jué duì shì gè wèi dào yǒu chū mén zài wài shā rén qiǎng bǎo ， xún chóu dòu ōu de lì qì 。” yī nián qīng dào shì de jiào rǎng jìn rù ěr duǒ lǐ ， dào yě yǐn lái wéi guān zhě wú shù ， suī shuō xiū xiān zhě ruò ròu qiáng shí ， shā rén qiǎng bǎo suàn bù liǎo shén me dà shì ， kě biǎo miàn shàng ， bì jìng hái shì yào jiǎng yī xià rén yì dào dé ， jiāng zhè zhǒng sī xià lǐ zuò de shì qíng ， ná dào zuǐ bā shàng dà shuō tè shuō dào yě suàn yǒng qì kě jiā le 。
“贫道手中这把火焰刀，可是由筑基中期的前辈亲手炼制，吹毛断，锋锐无比，而且还附带有火弹攻击，绝对是各位道友出门在外杀人抢宝，寻仇斗殴的利器。”一年轻道士的叫嚷进入耳朵里，倒也引来围观者无数，虽说修仙者弱肉强食，杀人抢宝算不了什么大事，可表面上，毕竟还是要讲一下仁义道德，将这种私下里做的事情，拿到嘴巴上大说特说倒也算勇气可嘉了。
It wasn't necessarily due to consuming spirit herbs; rapid advancement through other extraordinary opportunities could also lead to mental instability. Meanwhile, far away, in a low-grade cultivator's trading market, people came and went.

梦如嫣理了理丝，嘴角边露出几分笑意，这位跺一跺玉足，就能让云州抖三抖的厉害人物，此时还是一身青衣，看上去弱不禁风的可怜样子。
"Come quickly, everyone! Corpse Bone Grass is a poison, but with the right auxiliary materials, it can be transformed into pills that enhance our yin-yang essence cultivation."
tā de xiū wèi shōu liǎn dào le líng dòng zhōng qī ， ào rén de shēn cái yě yòng mì fǎ yǐn cáng qǐ ， wǔ guān píng píng ， pí fū jiǎo hēi 。 kàn shàng qù sī háo de bù yǐn rén zhù yì 。 cǐ nǚ zhěng lǐ le yī xià qián miàn de xiǎo tān zi 。
她的修为收敛到了灵动中期，傲人的身材也用秘法隐藏起，五官平平，皮肤徼黑。看上去丝毫的不引人注意。此女整理了一下前面的小摊子。
"A novice of middle-stage foundation consolidation crafted this flaming saber. It cuts hair and is incredibly sharp, and it comes with fireball attacks. It’s an excellent tool for assassinations, robberies, and conflicts among your fellow daoists," a young Daoist's call drew many spectators.
xīn zhōng tàn le kǒu qì ， yào shuō zī zhì ， tā suī rán yě shì shèng líng gēn ， dàn bǐ qǐ tú ér lái dōu hái pǒ yǒu bù rú ， bì jìng néng gòu níng jié yuán yīng chéng gōng de ， shí yǒu ** dōu shì shèng líng gēn de yōng yǒu zhě ， gēn běn bù suàn shén me 。
心中叹了口气，要说资质，她虽然也是圣灵根，但比起徒儿来都还颇有不如，毕竟能够凝结元婴成功的，十有**都是圣灵根的拥有者，根本不算什么。
Although cultivators were known to be ruthless, killing and robbing weren't considered significant matters. However, publicly boasting about such private activities showed great courage.

这种灵根，在结婴以前修炼快，结婴以后就显不出优势来了，因在元婴初期的圣灵根修士比比皆是。连元婴中期都达不到，更不要谈离合之境。
Dream Like Yan combed her hair, a smile playing on her lips. This formidable figure could make the Cloud Province tremble with just a stomp of her feet was now dressed in plain blue robes, looking frail and vulnerable.
dāng rán ， tā bǐ nà xiē rén zī zhì hái shì yào hǎo yī xiē de ， kě yǒu jīn tiān de chéng jiù ， què shì lìng yǒu nì tiān de jī yuán zài lǐ tou 。 yǔ lín xuān fú yào bù tóng ， dàn yě shǔ yú xiū wèi fēi zhèng cháng bào zēng de nà zhǒng 。
当然，她比那些人资质还是要好一些的，可有今天的成就，却是另有逆天的机缘在里头。与林轩服药不同，但也属于修为非正常暴增的那种。
Her cultivation had been concealed to mid-stage yin-yang essence, and she used secret methods to hide her prominent features; her skin was dark, making her unremarkable. She tidied up the small stall in front of her.
kāi shǐ de shí hòu ， mèng rú yān xīn xǐ fēi cháng ， zuò wèi yún zhōu dì yī nǚ xiū ， gèng bù dài shì rén fàng zài yǎn lǐ tou ， jiù suàn shì lìng wài jǐ gè bù chū shì de lǎo guài wù ， chú le wàng tíng lóu ， tā yě bìng bù pà shéi de 。
开始的时候，梦如嫣欣喜非常，做为云州第一女修，更不待世人放在眼里头，就算是另外几个不出世的老怪物，除了望亭楼，她也并不怕谁的。
She sighed inwardly. While she too possessed a sacred spiritual root, it paled in comparison to her disciples. After all, those who successfully condensed yin-yang essence were mostly sacred spiritual root holders; they weren't special.
shèn zhì yóu yú nà jī yuán ， tā dào le lí hé qī yī yàng xiū liàn hěn kuài ， rú jīn yǐ shì chū qī dǐng fēng ， jù lí lí hé zhōng qī ， jǐn yǒu yī bù zhī dào 。 kě wú fǎ kuà guò ， bié de píng wán bù suàn shén me ， guān jiàn shì xīn jìng bù gòu ， shèn zhì chà diǎn zǒu huǒ 。
甚至由于那机缘，她到了离合期一样修炼很快，如今已是初期顶峰，距离离合中期，仅有一步之道。可无法跨过，别的瓶顽不算什么，关键是心境不够，甚至差点走火。
This type of spiritual root was fast during cultivation but lost its advantage after condensing yin-yang essence. Many middle-stage yin-yang essence cultivators existed, and reaching the Separation and Union stage was even more difficult.
mèng rú yān tòng dìng sī tòng ， fān yuè liǎo wú shù gǔ jí ， yě zhǎo bú dào jiě jué de zhǔ yì ， zhǐ hǎo yòng bèn bàn fǎ ， pǎo lái chī kǔ 。
梦如嫣痛定思痛，翻阅了无数古籍，也找不到解决的主意，只好用笨办法，跑来吃苦。
Still, she was better off than those people in terms of talent, but her achievements were due to extraordinary opportunities. Unlike Lin Xuan's pill-taking, hers was a case of rapid advancement through unconventional means.
rán ér huí sī guò qù jǐ yuè de jīng lì ， mèng rú yān lián zhí xiǎng kū ， táng táng de yún zhōu dì yī nǚ xiū ， céng jīng miǎo shā shàng wàn xiū xiān zhě ， bā wèi dà xiū shì ， zài tā shǒu zhōng chēng bù liǎo bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， nà shì hé děng de róng yào ， hé děng de zūn chóng 。
然而回思过去几月的经历，梦如嫣帘直想哭，堂堂的云州第一女修，曾经秒杀上万修仙者，八位大修士，在她手中撑不了半盏茶的功夫，那是何等的荣耀，何等的尊崇。
At first, Dream Like Yan was overjoyed as the top female cultivator of Cloud Province and looked down on everyone else. Even the other ancient immortals, except for the Pavilion of Ling Ting Lou, didn't intimidate her.
kě xiàn zài ， què bì xū pǎo lái chī kǔ ， tā tiān yá hǎi gé de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， bèi yī xiē zhù jī qī ， shèn zhì líng dòng qī de dì zǐ hū lái hè qù ， shòu le qì hái bì xū rěn zhù ， wèi xīn jìng tí gāo bù cāng huǒ 。
可现在，却必须跑来吃苦，她天涯海阁的太上长老，被一些筑基期，甚至灵动期的弟子呼来喝去，受了气还必须忍住，为心境提高不舱火。
Due to that opportunity, she had advanced quickly even in the Separation and Union stage, reaching its peak but unable to cross over due to insufficient mental fortitude, nearly leading to a mental breakdown.
mèng rú yān yù mèn dé dōu yào bào zǒu le ， zhè zhǒng kǒng qū de zī wèi ràng tā qíng yuàn pǎo qù tiǎo zhàn wàng tíng lóu ， jiù suàn shū le ， zǒng bǐ xiàn zài zhè yàng yù mèn hǎo guò 。
梦如嫣郁闷得都要暴走了，这种恐屈的辎味让她情愿跑去挑战望亭楼，就算输了，总比现在这样郁闷好过。
Dream Like Yan reflected on her recent experiences, feeling like crying. As the top female cultivator of Cloud Province, she had once killed thousands of cultivators in one go, even defeating eight high-ranking cultivators within half an hour. That was glorious and respected.
kě wèi le tū pò ， wèi le cháng shēng ， bì xū rěn zhù 。
可为了突破，为了长生，必须忍住。
But now, she had to endure hardships. She, the Supreme Elder of Heavenly Pavilion, was called around by foundation consolidation or yin-yang essence disciples, enduring insults while suppressing her anger for mental cultivation.
Dream Like Yan was so frustrated that she wanted to lash out. The humiliation tasted bitter, making her wish to challenge Ling Ting Lou instead, even if it meant losing; at least it would be better than the current depression.
But for breakthrough and eternal life, she had to endure.
Lin Xuan's caution proved effective. With his evasion techniques, three days later, he was already a million miles away. Although Venerable Empty Gaze was filled with hatred, he could do nothing but sigh helplessly without finding Lin Xuan.
This was an uninhabited wasteland where not even animals could be seen for a hundred li. At the top of an unremarkable small hill stood a typical cultivator. It had to be Lin Xuan.
He held a transparent and exquisite treasure in his hands, the Heavenly Moon Crystal. This crystal was rare in the mortal world, but due to its value, Lin Xuan felt it difficult to judge whether it was worth the conflict with the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect. However, since he already had it, he did not regret his decision.
With his divine abilities, he could travel anywhere in the world, unless facing a powerful immortal of the Separation and Union stage. Even if faced with two or three high-ranking cultivators, he could easily escape if he couldn't defeat them. Moreover, Venerable Empty Gaze's storage bracelet had also fallen into his hands.
This fellow, as the head of the Arhat Hall, was extremely wealthy. He possessed hundreds of high-grade crystal stones, a staggering fortune.
In addition to these treasures, there were several Buddhist artifacts such as the Zen staff that could transform into a great phoenix and its powerful effects, and over a dozen bottles of pills!
Lin Xuan sniffed them, his face lighting up with joy. In his past life, he was the young master of Spirit Herb Mountain, so even if he wasn't familiar with Buddhist pills, he could still judge their properties accurately. They were all suitable for yin-yang essence pills and had high grades. Unfortunately, there were no pill formulas. But Lin Xuan was content with this harvest. Furthermore, he found several scrolls in the storage bracelet.
Lin Xuan's heart leaped as the Vajra Invincible Body Divine Skill seemed quite impressive. However, it wasn't necessarily useful for him since he wasn't a Buddhist cultivator.
"Simple, these dozen scrolls are unique copies handwritten by senior monks, with notes of their insights. They might be considered treasures, but they have nothing to do with us," Lin Xuan explained.
"Oh, so they're still useless to us. Since I'm not a Buddhist cultivator, what use can we make of these scriptures?" Moon Like said dejectedly.
"This isn't certain." Lin Xuan's face showed an eerie expression.
"Why?" the girl asked in confusion.
Lin Xuan fell into deep thought. It was indeed an unexpected bonus. He wasn't sure if it would work as intended.
It was well known that compared to his peers, not only did Lin Xuan pursue more knowledge and practice with great speed, but he also benefited greatly from the Blue Star Sea, which provided him with substantial elixirs.
In just over two hundred years, he reached the peak of middle-stage yin-yang essence. While he couldn't claim to be unparalleled, his predecessors were few.
However, this rapid progress had its downsides. His mental cultivation lagged behind his divine abilities. Lin Xuan was aware of this problem and tried to find opportunities to strengthen himself, but he hadn't found a good solution yet—his mind was unstable!
While it didn’t show any immediate harm, it could lead to accidents during practice and make the breakthrough to the Separation and Union stage much more difficult. It was like a hidden snake that constantly threatened his path of cultivation.
Lin Xuan had thought of a crude idea: wait until he became a high-ranking cultivator, then take a break from cultivation and immerse himself in secular life, experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness to gradually hone his mind until it matched his realm. However, this was not a good plan; descending into the mundane world would mean enduring hardships.
But for Lin Xuan, enduring such hardships was nothing. Even if he had to endure the pain of being cut and stabbed, he wouldn't flinch. The real challenge lay in experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness to hone his mind. In other words, starting from the lowest position, he would have to accept any abuse without retaliation.
The mental torture was far worse than physical pain. Imagine how strong one's willpower must be for a yin-yang essence cultivator to endure such humiliation in the mortal world!
Lin Xuan had always been confident about his mental fortitude, but he wasn't sure if he could reach that level. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t plan on using such harsh methods.
Over the years, he had read many ancient texts, but there were few records of this issue. After all, only a few people defied nature; most cultivators' progress matched their spiritual roots. If one’s talent was good enough, even rapid advancement wouldn't lead to instability in the mind.
Cao Xiaojian and Qin Yan were such cases, so they had reached yin-yang essence in two hundred years without any mental issues.
Only those who advanced through unconventional methods faced this problem. For example, Lin Xuan himself; he didn’t even have a spiritual root at first but managed to condense one after consuming the sacred fruit of the Moon Clan, reaching middle-grade (8).
His spiritual root was inferior to ordinary ones and far less than that of geniuses like Qin Yan or Tian Xiaojian. However, Lin Xuan advanced more quickly because he could treat elixirs as candy.
However, excessive consumption of pills led to a mismatch between his talent and cultivation speed, causing instability in the mind. Such cases were rare.
It wasn't necessarily due to consuming spirit herbs; rapid advancement through other extraordinary opportunities could also lead to mental instability. Meanwhile, far away, in a low-grade cultivator's trading market, people came and went.
"Come quickly, everyone! Corpse Bone Grass is a poison, but with the right auxiliary materials, it can be transformed into pills that enhance our yin-yang essence cultivation."
"A novice of middle-stage foundation consolidation crafted this flaming saber. It cuts hair and is incredibly sharp, and it comes with fireball attacks. It’s an excellent tool for assassinations, robberies, and conflicts among your fellow daoists," a young Daoist's call drew many spectators.
Although cultivators were known to be ruthless, killing and robbing weren't considered significant matters. However, publicly boasting about such private activities showed great courage.
