”不错。纹确实是长生丹，服用以后可以增加寿示”白雪吐了口气，樱唇微启。清亮的声音缓缓的传入每一人的耳里。 静！ 随后老怪物脸上都爆出狂热的，妖族要好一些，相对而言，他们拥有更加漫长的寿元，而人类修仙者。即便到了元婴期，也不过活上八百到一千年。
"Good. The Longevity Pill is indeed real, and consuming it can increase one's lifespan by a century or so," Snow White exhaled, her lips slightly parting as she spoke in a clear voice that reached everyone present.
zhè yī lì xiān dān ， jiù néng zēng jiā bǎi nián zuǒ yòu de shòu yuán ， kě xiǎng ér zhī ， shì duō dà de yòu huò 。 biàn shì yuǎn chù de mèng rú yān ， liǎn shàng yě mǎn shì xiàn mù ， lín xuān ， jū rán hái yōng yǒu zhè zhǒng bǎo wù 。
这一粒仙丹，就能增加百年左右的寿元，可想而知，是多大的诱惑。便是远处的梦如嫣，脸上也满是羡慕，林轩，居然还拥有这种宝物。
Silence!
“ rú hé ， zhè cháng shēng dān de jià zhí yīng gāi bù shū yú tài yǐ jīn jīng ， bù zhī dào huì tōng dà shī hái yǒu shén me bǎo wù ， fǒu zé zhè xià gū cǎo kě jiù guī wǎn bèi le 。” lín xuān kàn le yī yǎn yuǎn chù de lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， bù huāng bù máng de kāi kǒu ， liǎn shàng ， jìng méi yǒu sī háo wèi jù zhī sè ， duì fāng jiù suàn hèn bù dé jiāng zì jǐ chōu jīn bā gǔ ， yě bù kě néng zài guǎng hán gōng dòng shǒu 。
“如何，这长生丹的价值应该不输于太乙金精，不知道慧通大师还有什么宝物，否则这夏孤草可就归晚辈了。”林轩看了一眼远处的离合期修仙者，不慌不忙的开口，脸上，竟没有丝毫畏惧之色，对方就算恨不得将自己抽筋扒骨，也不可能在广寒宫动手。
Subsequently, the old monster's face was filled with intense excitement. The妖族 had better luck; they possessed longer lifespans compared to humans. Even at the元婴 stage, human cultivators could only live for eight hundred to one thousand years.
“ hēng ， dào yǒu hái zhēn shì fú yuán shēn hòu ， lián zhǎng shēng dān dōu yǒu ， lǎo nà náng zhōng kě méi yǒu nà yàng de nì tiān zhī wù ， jì rú cǐ ， zhè zhuāng pāi mài suàn nǐ yíng le jiù shì huì tōng yǎn jiǎo chōu chù ， liǎn shàng 。 shǎn guò yī mǒ shēn qiè de hèn yì ， dàn zhèng rú lín xuān cāi xiǎng ， jí biàn tā shì lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， yě bù hǎo dāng zhòng zuò ， suī shuō shā rén qiǎng bǎo zhè yàng de shì qíng ， zài zuò de měi yí gè rén dōu zuò guò ， dàn bì jìng shì bù néng fàng dào tái miàn shàng lái de 。
“哼，道友还真是福缘深厚，连长生丹都有，老衲囊中可没有那样的逆天之物，既如此，这桩拍卖算你赢了就是慧通眼角抽搐，脸上。闪过一抹深切的恨意，但正如林轩猜想，即便他是离合期修仙者，也不好当众作，虽说杀人抢宝这样的事情，在座的每一个人都做过，但毕竟是不能放到台面上来的。
This single immortal pill could add a century or so to one’s lifespan, making it an enormous temptation indeed. Even Dream Ruoyan from afar wore an envious expression on her face; Lin Xuan actually possessed such a treasure.
bèi hòu zài wú chǐ yě méi yǒu guān xì ， biǎo miàn shàng hái shì dé zhuāng chū yī fù zhèng rén jūn zǐ 。
背后再无耻也没有关系，表面上还是得装出一副正人君子。
"How about this? The value of the Longevity Pill should not be inferior to that of Taiyi Gold Essence. I wonder if Master Huìtōng has any other treasures. Otherwise, these herbs will belong to me," Lin Xuan looked at the Separation Stage cultivator from afar and spoke calmly without any fear. Even if the opponent wished to tear him apart, they could not make a move in the Cold Moon Palace.
jiāo huàn jié shù ， lín xuān xǐ zī zī jiāng xià gū cǎo shōu rù náng zhōng ， zǒng suàn méi yǒu ràng zì jǐ shī wàng ， bù guò wēi jī bìng wèi jiě chú ， zhè tū lǘ jué bú huì fàng guò zì jǐ ， gāi zěn me tuō shēn cái hǎo ne ？
交换结束，林轩喜滋滋将夏孤草收入囊中，总算没有让自己失望，不过危机并未解除，这秃驴绝不会放过自己，该怎么脱身才好呢？
"Hmph, Friend really has good luck; even the Longevity Pill is within your grasp. I have no such miraculous treasures in my possession. In that case, this auction is yours," Huìtōng's eyes twitched as he flashed an intense hatred on his face. As Lin Xuan had guessed, even though he was at the Separation Stage, he could not act openly. Although every person present had done similar things like killing and stealing treasures, it could not be shown in public.
lín xuān biǎo miàn bù dòng shēng sè ， huí dào zuò wèi yǐ hòu 。 què kāi shǐ míng sī kǔ xiǎng le 。
林轩表面不动声色，回到座位以后。却开始冥思苦想了。
Even if one’s back was dirty, appearances still needed to be maintained as a gentleman.
yǐ tā xiàn zài de shén tōng ， jiù suàn miàn duì liǎng sān gè 。 dà xiū shì de wéi gōng ， dǎ bù guò ， yě yǒu shí fēn de bǎ wò tuō shēn táo zǒu ， kě lí hé qī què wán quán bù tóng ， lín xuān xiū liàn zhī yú ， xǐ huān bó lǎn qún cǐ jìng jiè kě shuō shì xiū xiān zhī lù de fēn shuǐ lǐng 。 jìn jiē lí hé yǐ hòu ， kě yǐ diào dòng tiān dì yuán qì ， nà yǔ yǐ qián ， shì wán quán bù tóng de yī zhǒng zhàn dòu fāng shì 。
以他现在的神通，就算面对两三个。大修士的围攻，打不过，也有十分的把握脱身逃走，可离合期却完全不同，林轩修炼之余，喜欢博览群此境界可说是修仙之路的分水岭。进阶离合以后，可以调动天地元气，那与以前，是完全不同的一种战斗方式。
The exchange ended, and Lin Xuan happily stored Xia Gucao into his storage bracelet, finally living up to expectations. However, the problem of how to escape remained.
fǒu zé dāng nián tiān yá hǎi gé yī yì ， nà wèi yún zhōu dì yī nǚ xiū ， yě bù kě néng yǐ yī jǐ zhī lì 。 jī shā shǔ yǐ wàn jì de xiū shì 。
否则当年天涯海阁一役，那位云州第一女修，也不可能以一己之力。击杀数以万计的修士。
Unless… there was help!
bā míng yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， zài tā shǒu lǐ hái chēng bù liǎo yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu 。
八名元婴后期的修仙者，在她手里还撑不了一盏茶的功夫。
And this helper could not be weak; he should be at the same level as himself. Working together, they might have a chance to escape Huìtōng's clutches. But where would he find such a powerful ally?
dāng rán ， hòu qī yǔ hòu qī yě bù tóng ， rú guǒ zì jǐ néng jiāng mó yīng de yǐn huàn jiě chú ， bìng jìn jí dà xiū shì ， zài yǐ tōng tiān líng bǎo ， bì huàn yōu huǒ ， zhēn líng yī jī xiāng jié hé ， yě bú shì bù néng yǔ lí hé qī xiū shì zhōu xuán yī fān de ， bù guò xiàn zài me ，”
当然，后期与后期也不同，如果自己能将魔婴的隐患解除，并晋级大修士，再以通天灵宝，碧幻幽火，真灵一击相结合，也不是不能与离合期修士周旋一番的，不过现在么，”
Although Mo'er had the玄阴宝盒, she had yet to successfully form an embryo and her strength was only equivalent to that of an early-stage元婴 cultivator at most, perhaps slightly stronger. However, compared to mid-stage cultivators, she fell short significantly and could not help him much.
duì shàng huì tōng tū lǘ ， bì sǐ wú yí ， ér qiě xiǎng yào táo zǒu yě shì chī rén shuō mèng ér yǐ 。
对上慧通秃驴，必死无疑，而且想要逃走也是痴人说梦而已。
Lin Xuan's eyes were tightly shut as he quietly released his divine sense to scan the surroundings. Suddenly, a flicker in his brow caught his attention, and he opened his eyes with a sharp gaze. A figure appeared before his mind’s eye.
ráo shì lín xuān zhì jì bǎi chū ， kě shí lì xiāng chà tài yuǎn ， què yě xiǎng bú dào tuō shēn zhī cè 。
饶是林轩智计百出，可实力相差太远，却也想不到脱身之策。
Princess Crescent Moon!
chú fēi ，， shì yǒu bāng shǒu ！
除非，，是有帮手！
Sure enough, she had come to participate in this trading fair.
ér qiě zhè ge bāng shǒu hái bù néng tài ruò 。
而且这个帮手还不能太弱。
Was it just out of curiosity or for some other purpose?
yǔ zì jǐ yīng gāi shì yí gè děng jí ， zhè yàng de huà ， liǎng rén lián shǒu ， yě xǔ yǒu jī huì cóng huì tōng de shǒu lǐ táo tuō 。 kě zì jǐ gū jiā guǎ rén yí gè ， dào nǎ ér qù zhǎo zhè me lì hài de bāng shǒu ne ？
与自己应该是一个等级，这样的话，两人联手，也许有机会从慧通的手里逃脱。可自己孤家寡人一个，到哪儿去找这么厉害的帮手呢？
Her cultivation stage was the same as his—mid-stage元婴. However, as the daughter of an Immortal, her techniques were extremely profound and far surpassed ordinary high-stage cultivators. If they could work together, perhaps she could help him escape Huìtōng.
yuè ér suī yǒu xuán yīn bǎo hé ， kě shàng wèi jié yīng chéng gōng ， jí shǐ jiā shàng guǐ shā yīn mò ， shí lì yě zuì duō xiāng dāng yú yuán yīng chū qī dǐng fēng de xiū xiān zhě ， huò xǔ hái yào shāo wēi lì hài yī xiē ， dàn bǐ zhī zhōng qī ， hái pǒ yǒu bù jí ， gēn běn bāng bù shàng zì jǐ 。
月儿虽有玄阴宝盒，可尚未结婴成功，即使加上鬼煞阴墨，实力也最多相当于元婴初期顶峰的修仙者，或许还要稍微厉害一些，但比之中期，还颇有不及，根本帮不上自己。
Lin Xuan thought to himself.
lín xuān de shuāng mù jǐn bì ， què qiǎo rán jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zài fù jìn yī yī sǎo guò ， tū rán ， tā méi shāo wēi dòng ， sà rán zhēng kāi le shuāng móu ， yuǎn chù yǒu yī shēn yǐng yìng rù le nǎo hǎi zhōng 。
林轩的双目紧闭，却悄然将神识放出，在附近一一扫过，突然，他眉梢微动，飒然睁开了双眸，远处有一身影映入了脑海中。
However, a new problem arose that left him scratching his head. This Crescent Moon Fairy desperately wanted to tear him apart. If he fell into danger, it would be enough if she did not take advantage of the situation; how could she possibly offer help? It was akin to dreaming.
xīn yuè gōng zhǔ ！
新月公主！
Sighing, Lin Xuan knew such thoughts were mere fantasies. At that moment, a familiar voice reached his ears: "Brother Lin!"
cǐ nǚ guǒ rán yě lái cān jiā jiāo yì huì le 。
此女果然也来参加交易会了。
"What's this?"
jiù bù zhī dào shì yī shí xīng qǐ ， hái shì bié yǒu shén me mù dì 。
就不知道是一时兴起，还是别有什么目的。
Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned before showing disbelief. Xia Houlan?
tā de jìng jiè yǔ zì jǐ xiāng tóng ， yě shì yuán yīng zhōng qī dǐng fēng ， bù guò zuò wéi sàn xiān zhī nǚ ， suǒ xiū shén tōng xuán miào yǐ jí ， yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò le pǔ tōng dà xiū shì ， ruò yǔ zì jǐ lián shǒu ， huò xǔ néng cóng huì tōng de shǒu lǐ táo tuō 。
她的境界与自己相同，也是元婴中期顶峰，不过作为散仙之女，所修神通玄妙以极，远远胜过了普通大修士，若与自己联手，或许能从慧通的手里逃脱。
Impossible?
lín xuān xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe
林轩心中如此想着
Although there were two souls in Crescent Moon’s body, the spoiled princess was clearly much stronger. Xia Houlan had always been suppressed; how could she have awakened now?
kě ràng rén náo tóu de wèn tí yòu chū xiàn le 。 zhè wèi xīn yuè xiān zi ， hèn bù dé jiāng zì jǐ chōu jīn lù pí ， zì jǐ ruò shì luò rù wēi xiǎn zhī dì ， tā bù luò jǐng xià shí jiù suàn hǎo le ， zěn me kě néng chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， zhè bú shì yǔ chī rén shuō mèng chà bu duō 。
可让人挠头的问题又出现了。这位新月仙子，恨不得将自己抽筋录皮，自己若是落入危险之地，她不落井下石就算好了，怎么可能出手相助，这不是与痴人说梦差不多。
Was it heaven answering his prayers?
āi ， yī tǐ liǎng pò ， rú guǒ xiàn zài shì xià hóu lán zhǔ dǎo cǐ nǚ de shēn tǐ ， nà gāi yǒu duō hǎo 。
唉，一体两魄，如果现在是夏侯兰主导此女的身体，那该有多好。
A mocking smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips. Cultivation meant defying nature and using human power to break free from the constraints of birth, aging, sickness, and death.
lín xuān yuè yáo le yáo tóu ， yě zhī dào zhè zhǒng xiǎng fǎ chún cuì shì shē wàng ， jiù zài cǐ kè ， què yǒu shú xī de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ lín dà gē ！”
林轩越摇了摇头，也知道这种想法纯粹是奢望，就在此刻，却有熟悉的声音传入耳朵：“林大哥！”
In simpler terms, it was challenging fate itself. Therefore, cultivators only trusted themselves; what about heaven? All nonsense!
“ zhè shēng yīn
“这声音
There was no response from heaven either.
lín xuān xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu lù chū bù néng zhì xìn de biǎo qíng lái ， xià hóu lán ？
林轩先是一呆，随后露出不能置信的表情来，夏侯兰？
Despite his shock, Lin Xuan showed no outward signs as he replied: "It's me, brother!" The response confirmed that he had not heard wrong. Crescent Moon would never be so gentle and refined.
bù kě néng ？
不可能？
"Controlling this body is wonderful. I've always been worried about being bullied by the spoiled princess," Lin Xuan said excitedly.
suī shuō xīn yuè de tǐ nèi ， yǒu liǎng gè hún pò ， dàn diāo mán gōng zhǔ de 。 míng xiǎn yào qiáng dà dé duō 。 xià hóu lán bú shì yì zhí bèi yā zhì ， zěn me kě néng jué xǐng ？
虽说新月的体内，有两个魂魄，但刁蛮公主的。明显要强大得多。夏侯兰不是一直被压制，怎么可能觉醒？
"Why would she do that? Brother, as I’ve said before, we are essentially the same person despite our different personalities. How could she bully me; it's like bullying myself," Xia Houlan smiled weakly.
nán dào shì shàng tiān tīng dào le zì jǐ de qí dǎo ？
难道是上天听到了自己的祈祷？
"How did you regain control of your body?" Lin Xuan was very concerned about this issue. If his younger sister could suppress the spoiled princess’s soul, he would have one less formidable enemy and gain a female ally with obvious benefits.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo ， suǒ wèi xiū xiān ， běn jiù shì nì tiān ér xíng ， yǐ rén lì ， fǎn kàng tiān dì fǎ zé ， chōng pò shēng lǎo bìng sǐ de jìn gù 。
林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲，所谓修仙，本就是逆天而行，以人力，反抗天地法则，冲破生老病死的禁锢。
"I don't know. Since separating from you, Crescent Moon and I have alternated controlling this body," Xia Houlan said.
shuō dé zhí bái yì diǎn ， jiù shì fǔ shì tiān dì 。 suǒ yǐ xiū xiān zhě zhǐ xiāng xìn zì jǐ ， shén me shàng tiān ， quán shì gǒu pì ！
说得直白一点，就是抚视天地。所以修仙者只相信自己，什么上天，全是狗屁！
"Alternating?" Lin Xuan was taken aback, his expression strange.
lǎo tiān yé de huí yìng 。 gèng shì wú cóng tán qǐ 。
老天爷的回应。更是无从谈起。
"Why does this happen? I don’t understand. But Crescent Moon's soul is indeed much stronger than mine. So each day, I can control for only two of the twelve hours before just now regaining control and greeting you," Xia Houlan’s face turned slightly red as she spoke. She was grateful to Lin Xuan and had taken the Harmonizing Pill, although its effects on her were not complete. Regardless, she developed a vague fondness for him.
suī rán xīn zhōng jīng yí ， dàn biǎo miàn shàng ， lín xuān sī háo yì sè bù lù ， tóng shí jiāng shēng yīn chuán huí qù
虽然心中惊疑，但表面上，林轩丝毫异色不露，同时将声音传回去
"Brother, I’m glad nothing happened to you. Seeing that Wanfosi Sect's bounty notice made us very worried," Xia Houlan said.
“ shì wǒ ， dà gē ！” huí yìng zhèng míng lín xuān méi yǒu tīng cuò ， xīn yuè nǎ yǒu kě néng nà me de wēn róu xián shū 。
“是我，大哥！”回应证明林轩没有听错，新月哪有可能那么的温柔娴淑。
"Crescent Moon is worried about me?" Lin Xuan’s expression showed surprise; had he misunderstood?
“ chēng yòu néng kòng zhì zhè shēn tǐ ， tài hǎo le 。 wǒ hái yì zhí dān xīn mí bèi nà diāo mán gōng zhǔ qī fù 。” lín xuān yǒu xiē xīng fèn de shuō 。
“称又能控制这身体，太好了。我还一直担心弥被那刁蛮公主欺负。”林轩有些兴奋的说。
Xia Houlan lowered her head and weakly spoke: "Brother, don’t blame me. Crescent Moon is worried because she fears those monks will kill you, preventing her from avenging herself."
“ zěn me huì ne ， dà gē ， wǒ shuō guò ， wǒ yǔ xīn yuè suī rán xìng gé bù tóng ， dàn běn zhì lái shuō 。 jiù shì tóng yī gè rén de ， tā zěn me kě néng qī fù wǒ ， nà bú shì zì jǐ nüè dài zì jǐ le xià hóu lán wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“怎么会呢，大哥，我说过，我与新月虽然性格不同，但本质来说。就是同一个人的，她怎么可能欺负我，那不是自己虐待自己了夏侯兰微笑着说。
"I see," Lin Xuan laughed in relief.
“ nà mí shì zěn me ná huí le shēn tǐ de zhǔ dǎo quán ？。 lín xuān hěn guān xīn zhè ge wèn tí ， rú guǒ xiǎo mèi néng gòu yā zhì diāo mán gōng zhǔ de hún pò ， zì jǐ jiù shǎo le yí gè kě pà de dí rén ， duō chū yí gè hóng yán zhī jǐ ， hǎo chù bù yán ér yǐ 。
“那弥是怎么拿回了身体的主导权？。林轩很关心这个问题，如果小妹能够压制刁蛮公主的魂魄，自己就少了一个可怕的敌人，多出一个红颜知己，好处不言而已。
"Indeed, I’ve advised her but to no avail. Brother, would you blame me?"
“ wǒ yě bù zhī dào ， zì cóng yǔ dà gē fēn lí yǐ hòu ， wǒ yǔ xīn yuè ， jiù yì zhí jiāo tì kòng zhì zhè jù shēn tǐ ？”
“我也不知道，自从与大哥分离以后，我与新月，就一直交替控制这具身体？”
"Stupid girl, although we are the same person, in my heart, you are Xia Houlan and Crescent Moon is Crescent Moon; they are completely different. Even if we are enemies, how could I dislike my adorable little sister?" Lin Xuan’s words were not empty promises because his upbringing made him see Xia Houlan as a gentle girl, someone to be pitied.
“ jiāo tì ？。 lín xuān yī dāi ， biǎo qíng yǒu xiē gǔ guài 。
“交替？。林轩一呆，表情有些古怪。
"Right, Sister, I have one more question for you,"
“ wèi hé huì chū xiàn zhè zhǒng qíng xíng ， wǒ yě bù dǒng 。 bù guò xīn yuè de hún pò què shí yào bǐ wǒ qiáng dà dé duō ， suǒ yǐ měi tiān shí èr gè shí chén zhī zhōng 。 wǒ zuì duō kòng zhì liǎng gè shí chén ， gāng gāng duó huí shēn tǐ de zhǔ dǎo quán ， jiù yǔ dà gē dǎ zhāo hū 。” xià hóu lán shuō dào cǐ chù ， liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī xiū hóng 。 yuán běn tā duì lín xuān jiù chōng mǎn gǎn jī ， hòu lái yòu fú xià le hé qíng dān ， suī rán duì yú tā zhè wèi líng jiè gōng zhǔ ， cǐ yào de xiào lì sì hū huī dé bù wán quán ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， tā duì lín xuān ， yě yǒu le méng méng lóng lóng de hǎo gǎn 。
“为何会出现这种情形，我也不懂。不过新月的魂魄确实要比我强大得多，所以每天十二个时辰之中。我最多控制两个时辰，刚刚夺回身体的主导权，就与大哥打招呼。”夏侯兰说到此处，脸上闪过一丝羞红。原本她对林轩就充满感激，后来又服下了合情丹，虽然对于她这位灵界公主，此药的效力似乎挥得不完全，但不管如何，她对林轩，也有了朦朦胧胧的好感。
"Sister, I say everything without reservation."
“ dà gē méi shì ， zhēn shì tài hǎo le ， kàn jiàn nà fèn wàn fú zōng de zhuī shā lìng ， wǒ yǔ xīn yuè ， kě shì fēi cháng dān xīn 。”
“大哥没事，真是太好了，看见那份万佛宗的追杀令，我与新月，可是非常担心。”
"Since we separated, how much stronger are your abilities now? Have they increased significantly?" Lin Xuan wanted to assess her strength. If she was too weak compared to Crescent Moon, he would not risk involving her.
“ xīn yuè dān xīn wǒ ？。 lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū chà rán zhī sè ， yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò 。
“新月担心我？。林轩脸上露出诧然之色，有没有搞错。
"I can control the body with a hundred percent effort, just like Crescent Moon. After years of integration and refinement, apart from our different personalities, my soul power is stronger than yours. I inherited all the experience in fighting against humans in the Spirit Realm, so regardless of who controls the body, we can still exert full strength," Xia Houlan said.
xià hóu lán què dī xià tou ， ruò ruò de kāi kǒu ：“ dà gē ， nǐ bié guài wǒ ， xīn yuè dān xīn ， shì pà nǐ bèi nà xiē hé shàng shā le ， nà yàng tā jiù bù néng qīn shǒu bào chóu 。”
夏侯兰却低下头，弱弱的开口：“大哥，你别怪我，新月担心，是怕你被那些和尚杀了，那样她就不能亲手报仇。”
"Then!"
“ yuán lái rú cǐ ， xīn yuè jìng hèn wǒ dào le rú cǐ dì bù ？” lín xuān yǎ rán shī xiào de kāi kǒu 。
“原来如此，新月竟恨我到了如此地步？”林轩哑然失笑的开口。
Lin Xuan was elated; it was truly a case of finding a way out when all seemed lost. This luck was indeed good. Lin Xuan calmed himself and spoke through his thoughts: "Sister, would you help me? However, I must warn you that this task is dangerous to life. You can choose whether or not to do it."
“ ń ， wǒ quàn guò 。 dàn tā bù tīng ， dà gē ， nǐ ” nǐ huì bú huì guài wǒ 。”
“嗯，我劝过。但她不听，大哥，你”你会不会怪我。”
"Why should brother say such things? Without Sister, I would have perished long ago. At that time, I wouldn’t even flinch," Xia Houlan said resolutely.
“ shǎ yā tou ， suī rán chēng shuō guò 。 mí liǎ shì yí gè rén 。 dàn zài wǒ xīn zhōng 。 chēng shì mí xīn yuè shì xīn yuè ， gēn běn jiù wán quán bù tóng ， jí shǐ wǒ yǔ tā shì bù liǎng lì ， yòu zěn me kě néng tǎo yàn wǒ kě ài de xiǎo mèi ne ？” lín xuān zhè fān huà 。 bìng fēi huā yán qiǎo yǔ ， yīn wèi shēng zhǎng de huán jìng bù tóng 。 xià hóu lán shǔ yú guāi guāi nǚ ， nà zhǒng rě rén lián xī de xiǎo jiā bì yù ， zì jǐ zěn me kě néng jiāng tā yǔ xīn yuè hùn wéi yì tǐ 。
“傻丫头，虽然称说过。弥俩是一个人。但在我心中。称是弥新月是新月，根本就完全不同，即使我与她势不两立，又怎么可能讨厌我可爱的小妹呢？”林轩这番话。并非花言巧语，因为生长的环境不同。夏侯兰属于乖乖女，那种惹人怜惜的小家碧玉，自己怎么可能将她与新月混为一体。
"Good sister, thank you for your help."
“ duì le xiǎo mèi ， wǒ hái yǒu yī shì wèn chēng
“对了小妹，我还有一事问称
"You’re welcome, just give me the order,"
“ dà gē ， mí shuō xiǎo mèi yí dìng zhī wú bù yán
“大哥，弥说小妹一定知无不言
"Yes." Lin Xuan explained his current situation briefly: "Sister, with your help, my chances of escaping this Separation Stage monster are over seventy percent."
“ chēng wǒ fēn kāi yě yǒu jǐ nián ， jīng guò zhè duàn shí jiān de xiū liàn ， chēng suī rán méi yǒu jìn jí ， dàn bǐ qǐ gāng gāng jué xǐng zhī shí ， shén tōng fǎ lì ， yīng gāi zēng jiā le bù shǎo ba ？”
“称我分开也有几年，经过这段时间的修炼，称虽然没有晋级，但比起刚刚觉醒之时，神通法力，应该增加了不少吧？”
"Oh!" Xia Houlan nodded. She had fully integrated Crescent Moon’s memories. Compared to her former self in the upper realm, the Separation Stage was not impressive, but here it was indeed terrifying; they could mobilize primordial energy and were entirely different from元婴 cultivators.
“ ń 。” xià hóu lán diǎn diǎn tóu ：“ shì zēng jiā le xǔ duō ， jù lí hòu qī zhǐ yǒu yī bù zhī yáo 。 ruò lùn shí lì ， yě yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò pǔ tōng de dà xiū shì 。”
“嗯。”夏侯兰点点头：“是增加了许多，距离后期只有一步之遥。若论实力，也远远胜过普通的大修士。”
Indeed dangerous!
“ wǒ xiǎng yě shì ， nà xiǎo mèi ， rú guǒ shì yóu mí cāo kòng shēn tǐ ， néng gòu huī chū duō shǎo shí lì ？” lín xuān xiǎng yào píng gū yī xià ， rú guǒ yǔ xīn yuè xiàng bǐ xiǎo mèi tài ruò ， lín xuān yě bú huì lā shàng cǐ nǚ mào xiǎn de 。 yī lái yú shì wú bǔ ， èr lái tā yě méi yǒu zì sī dào nà yàng de chéng dù ， zhǐ yǒu lìng xiǎng bié de bàn fǎ le 。
“我想也是，那小妹，如果是由弥操控身体，能够挥出多少实力？”林轩想要评估一下，如果与新月相比小妹太弱，林轩也不会拉上此女冒险的。一来于事无补，二来他也没有自私到那样的程度，只有另想别的办法了。
But looking at Brother Lin, Xia Houlan couldn’t ignore him: "If Sister doesn’t remember wrongly, your abilities should still be above those of ordinary high-stage cultivators. Working together, we will definitely escape."
“** kòng shēn tǐ ， yě shì bǎi fēn zhī bǎi ， yǔ xīn yuè méi yǒu qū bié ， jīng guò zhè xiē nián de róng hé mó lì ， chú le xìng gé bù tóng ， tā de hún lì bǐ wǒ qiáng dà yǐ wài ， qí tā de ， qí shí méi yǒu shén me qū bié ， líng jiè yǔ rén dòu fǎ de jīng yàn ， wǒ dōu jì chéng le xià lái ， suǒ yǐ bù lùn shì shuí zhǔ dǎo shēn tǐ ， dōu néng huī chū shí chéng de shí lì 。”
“**控身体，也是百分之百，与新月没有区别，经过这些年的融合磨砺，除了性格不同，她的魂力比我强大以外，其他的，其实没有什么区别，灵界与人斗法的经验，我都继承了下来，所以不论是谁主导身体，都能挥出十成的实力。”

"Good. The Longevity Pill is indeed real, and consuming it can increase one's lifespan by a century or so," Snow White exhaled, her lips slightly parting as she spoke in a clear voice that reached everyone present.
Silence!
Subsequently, the old monster's face was filled with intense excitement. The妖族 had better luck; they possessed longer lifespans compared to humans. Even at the元婴 stage, human cultivators could only live for eight hundred to one thousand years.
This single immortal pill could add a century or so to one’s lifespan, making it an enormous temptation indeed. Even Dream Ruoyan from afar wore an envious expression on her face; Lin Xuan actually possessed such a treasure.
"How about this? The value of the Longevity Pill should not be inferior to that of Taiyi Gold Essence. I wonder if Master Huìtōng has any other treasures. Otherwise, these herbs will belong to me," Lin Xuan looked at the Separation Stage cultivator from afar and spoke calmly without any fear. Even if the opponent wished to tear him apart, they could not make a move in the Cold Moon Palace.
"Hmph, Friend really has good luck; even the Longevity Pill is within your grasp. I have no such miraculous treasures in my possession. In that case, this auction is yours," Huìtōng's eyes twitched as he flashed an intense hatred on his face. As Lin Xuan had guessed, even though he was at the Separation Stage, he could not act openly. Although every person present had done similar things like killing and stealing treasures, it could not be shown in public.
Even if one’s back was dirty, appearances still needed to be maintained as a gentleman.
The exchange ended, and Lin Xuan happily stored Xia Gucao into his storage bracelet, finally living up to expectations. However, the problem of how to escape remained.
Unless… there was help!
And this helper could not be weak; he should be at the same level as himself. Working together, they might have a chance to escape Huìtōng's clutches. But where would he find such a powerful ally?
Although Mo'er had the玄阴宝盒, she had yet to successfully form an embryo and her strength was only equivalent to that of an early-stage元婴 cultivator at most, perhaps slightly stronger. However, compared to mid-stage cultivators, she fell short significantly and could not help him much.
Lin Xuan's eyes were tightly shut as he quietly released his divine sense to scan the surroundings. Suddenly, a flicker in his brow caught his attention, and he opened his eyes with a sharp gaze. A figure appeared before his mind’s eye.
Princess Crescent Moon!
Sure enough, she had come to participate in this trading fair.
Was it just out of curiosity or for some other purpose?
Her cultivation stage was the same as his—mid-stage元婴. However, as the daughter of an Immortal, her techniques were extremely profound and far surpassed ordinary high-stage cultivators. If they could work together, perhaps she could help him escape Huìtōng.
Lin Xuan thought to himself.
However, a new problem arose that left him scratching his head. This Crescent Moon Fairy desperately wanted to tear him apart. If he fell into danger, it would be enough if she did not take advantage of the situation; how could she possibly offer help? It was akin to dreaming.
Sighing, Lin Xuan knew such thoughts were mere fantasies. At that moment, a familiar voice reached his ears: "Brother Lin!"
"What's this?"
Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned before showing disbelief. Xia Houlan?
Impossible?
Although there were two souls in Crescent Moon’s body, the spoiled princess was clearly much stronger. Xia Houlan had always been suppressed; how could she have awakened now?
Was it heaven answering his prayers?
A mocking smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips. Cultivation meant defying nature and using human power to break free from the constraints of birth, aging, sickness, and death.
In simpler terms, it was challenging fate itself. Therefore, cultivators only trusted themselves; what about heaven? All nonsense!
There was no response from heaven either.
Despite his shock, Lin Xuan showed no outward signs as he replied: "It's me, brother!" The response confirmed that he had not heard wrong. Crescent Moon would never be so gentle and refined.
"Controlling this body is wonderful. I've always been worried about being bullied by the spoiled princess," Lin Xuan said excitedly.
"Why would she do that? Brother, as I’ve said before, we are essentially the same person despite our different personalities. How could she bully me; it's like bullying myself," Xia Houlan smiled weakly.
"How did you regain control of your body?" Lin Xuan was very concerned about this issue. If his younger sister could suppress the spoiled princess’s soul, he would have one less formidable enemy and gain a female ally with obvious benefits.
"I don't know. Since separating from you, Crescent Moon and I have alternated controlling this body," Xia Houlan said.
"Alternating?" Lin Xuan was taken aback, his expression strange.
"Why does this happen? I don’t understand. But Crescent Moon's soul is indeed much stronger than mine. So each day, I can control for only two of the twelve hours before just now regaining control and greeting you," Xia Houlan’s face turned slightly red as she spoke. She was grateful to Lin Xuan and had taken the Harmonizing Pill, although its effects on her were not complete. Regardless, she developed a vague fondness for him.
"Brother, I’m glad nothing happened to you. Seeing that Wanfosi Sect's bounty notice made us very worried," Xia Houlan said.
"Crescent Moon is worried about me?" Lin Xuan’s expression showed surprise; had he misunderstood?
Xia Houlan lowered her head and weakly spoke: "Brother, don’t blame me. Crescent Moon is worried because she fears those monks will kill you, preventing her from avenging herself."
"I see," Lin Xuan laughed in relief.
"Indeed, I’ve advised her but to no avail. Brother, would you blame me?"
"Stupid girl, although we are the same person, in my heart, you are Xia Houlan and Crescent Moon is Crescent Moon; they are completely different. Even if we are enemies, how could I dislike my adorable little sister?" Lin Xuan’s words were not empty promises because his upbringing made him see Xia Houlan as a gentle girl, someone to be pitied.
"Right, Sister, I have one more question for you,"
"Sister, I say everything without reservation."
"Since we separated, how much stronger are your abilities now? Have they increased significantly?" Lin Xuan wanted to assess her strength. If she was too weak compared to Crescent Moon, he would not risk involving her.
"I can control the body with a hundred percent effort, just like Crescent Moon. After years of integration and refinement, apart from our different personalities, my soul power is stronger than yours. I inherited all the experience in fighting against humans in the Spirit Realm, so regardless of who controls the body, we can still exert full strength," Xia Houlan said.
"Then!"
Lin Xuan was elated; it was truly a case of finding a way out when all seemed lost. This luck was indeed good. Lin Xuan calmed himself and spoke through his thoughts: "Sister, would you help me? However, I must warn you that this task is dangerous to life. You can choose whether or not to do it."
"Why should brother say such things? Without Sister, I would have perished long ago. At that time, I wouldn’t even flinch," Xia Houlan said resolutely.
"Good sister, thank you for your help."
"You’re welcome, just give me the order,"
"Yes." Lin Xuan explained his current situation briefly: "Sister, with your help, my chances of escaping this Separation Stage monster are over seventy percent."
"Oh!" Xia Houlan nodded. She had fully integrated Crescent Moon’s memories. Compared to her former self in the upper realm, the Separation Stage was not impressive, but here it was indeed terrifying; they could mobilize primordial energy and were entirely different from元婴 cultivators.
Indeed dangerous!
But looking at Brother Lin, Xia Houlan couldn’t ignore him: "If Sister doesn’t remember wrongly, your abilities should still be above those of ordinary high-stage cultivators. Working together, we will definitely escape."
