fàn rén rú yù ， rán ér lín xuān xīn zhōng què tǎn zěn jǐn zhāng yǐ “※
泛人如玉，然而林轩心中却忐怎紧张以“※
Lin Xuan's face was as smooth and flawless as jade, but his heart was tense. "※"
suī rán tā yǐ jīng huó le èr bǎi yú xǐ ， dàn xiū xiān zhě de nián jì bú shì xiàng fán rén nà yàng suàn ， jiǎn dān de shuō ， yī jiù shì xuè qì fāng wǎng de shào nián 。
虽然他已经活了二百余喜，但修仙者的年纪不是像凡人那样算，简单的说，依旧是血气方网的少年。
Though he had lived for over two hundred years, a cultivator’s age wasn’t calculated the same way as that of an ordinary person. In simple terms, he was still a young man in the prime of his life.
bù xīn dòng míng xiǎn shì diǎn rén zhī yán 。
不心动明显是典人之言。
Clearly, it was not appropriate to take advantage of someone else's misfortune.
bù guò chèn rén zhī wēi de shì qíng lín xuān kě zuò bù chū lái 。
不过趁人之危的事情林轩可做不出来。
Lin Xuan's breathing was slightly hurried. He quickly closed his eyes and allowed his essence qi to circulate within him before suppressing any impure thoughts.
nà yàng huì bèi ōu yáng qīng kàn 。
那样会被欧阳轻看。
After reopening his eyes, Lin Xuan stretched out a hand. The碧幻幽火appeared in the palm of his hand.
lín xuān de hū xī yǒu xiē jí cù ， tā máng bì shàng shuāng móu ， tǐ nèi líng lì lüè yī yùn zhuàn ， suí hòu cái yā xià le qǐ niàn 。
林轩的呼吸有些急促，他忙闭上双眸，体内灵力略一运转，随后才压下了绮念。
Of course, he couldn't use such dark flames to touch Ouyang Qinxin's body. With the power of the碧幻幽火, even an alchemy cultivator without proper precautions could suffer severe damage. However, Lin Xuan wouldn’t waste this opportunity. He would integrate the remaining essence into his碧幻幽火, which would certainly enhance its potency.
chóng xīn zhēng kāi yǎn ， lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái 。 bì huàn yōu huǒ zài zhǎng xīn zhōng fú xiàn 。
重新睁开眼，林轩伸出手来。碧幻幽火在掌心中浮现。
Both sat in meditation, one focusing on restoring their essence qi while the other refined the碧幻幽火.
dāng rán ， bù néng yòng zhè yàng de mó yán ， qù jiē chù ōu yáng de ròu qū ， yǐ bì huàn yōu huǒ de wēi lì 。 jiù suàn shì lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， ruò bù zuò fáng hù 。 yě zhǐ yǒu hún fēi pò sàn yī tú ， hǎo zài zhè xiàng shén tōng ， lín xuān zǎo yǐ jì liàn dào le suí xīn suǒ yù de dì bù 。
当然，不能用这样的魔炎，去接触欧阳的肉躯，以碧幻幽火的威力。就算是离合期修仙者，若不做防护。也只有魂飞魄散一途，好在这项神通，林轩早已祭炼到了随心所欲的地步。
After two hours, they opened their eyes almost simultaneously. They exchanged a knowing smile.
shǒu wàn fān zhuǎn ， mó yán de guāng máng lüè xiǎn àn dàn 。 biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， méi yǒu zěn me biàn ， dàn qí shí zhǐ lì xià le dú ， huǒ yàn de wēi lì yǐ jīng bèi lín xuān zàn shí gěi chú diào le 。
手腕翻转，魔炎的光芒略显暗淡。表面上看，没有怎么变，但其实只利下了毒，火焰的威力已经被林轩暂时给除掉了。
However, Lin Xuan scratched his nose and his gaze became awkwardly heated. Ouyang Qinxin also realized something was amiss and quickly called out as she forgot to put on her clothes first.
kàn le yī yǎn qián biān de shào nǚ ， ōu yáng qín xīn xiǎn de jiāo ruò yǐ jí ， chǔ chǔ kě lián de yàng zi rě rén lián xī ， yǐ jīng píng xī de qǐ niàn ， sì hū yòu yǒu xiē chǔn chǔn yù dòng qǐ lái ， lín xuān máng xī le kǒu qì 。 yǎn guān bí ， bí guān xīn ， hái hǎo tā zuì jìn wèi le xiū liàn xīn jìng ， shí cháng sòng dú fó jīng ， yú shì kǒu zhōng mò niàn ē mí tuó fó ， sè jí shì kōng ， kōng jí shì sè 。 rán hòu jiāng shǒu fàng dào le ōu yáng de fù 。
看了一眼前边的少女，欧阳琴心显得娇弱以极，楚楚可怜的样子惹人怜惜，已经平息的绮念，似乎又有些蠢蠢欲动起来，林轩忙吸了口气。眼观鼻，鼻观心，还好他最近为了修炼心境，时常诵读佛经，于是口中默念阿弥陀佛，色即是空，空即是色。然后将手放到了欧阳的腹。
She reached for her clothes, and the light flickered before some clouds of霞雾appeared between them. Ouyang Qinxin hurriedly dressed herself.
jǐn guǎn gé zhe yī céng xiǎo yī ， dàn yī jiù yǒu huá ruò níng zhì de gǎn jué ， dàn lín xuān kě bú shì lái chī dòu fǔ ， jiāng bì huàn yōu huǒ zhōng de jù dú ， tōng guò xué wèi ， yǐ àn mó de fāng shì ， zhù rù dào tā de shēn tǐ zhī zhōng 。
尽管隔着一层小衣，但依旧有滑若凝滞的感觉，但林轩可不是来吃豆腐，将碧幻幽火中的剧毒，通过穴位，以按摩的方式，注入到她的身体之中。
Two days later,
yǐ dú gōng dú ！
以毒攻毒！
Fengye County, by area, ranked among the top five in Yunzhou’s seventy-two counties. Although it belonged to the northern region along with Xuanbing County, the distance between them was over seven million miles.
ōu yáng yì zhí bì zhe shuāng móu ， yào shuō tā zì rán bǐ lín xuān hái yào jǐn zhāng ， yóu qí shì liǎng rén dì yī cì jī fū xiāng chù ， lín xuān gǎn jué tā de shēn tǐ dōu yǒu xiē jiāng yìng le 。
欧阳一直闭着双眸，要说她自然比林轩还要紧张，尤其是两人第一次肌肤相触，林轩感觉她的身体都有些僵硬了。
This difference also highlighted how vast Yunzhou was compared to the more primitive Youzhou.
bù guò suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， xiàn lín xuān què shí shì yí gè shǒu lǐ jūn zǐ ， sōng le kǒu qì ， dàn yǐn yǐn de ， sì hū yòu yǒu yì diǎn shī wàng de gǎn jué 。
不过随着时间的推移，现林轩确实是一个守礼君子，松了口气，但隐隐的，似乎又有一点失望的感觉。
The weather varied greatly; while Xuanbing County was just entering autumn, Fengye had already entered winter early.
dāng rán ， chá jué dào zhè ge niàn tou ， qín xīn xiū de mǎn miàn tōng hóng ， zài xīn zhōng hěn hěn cuì le yī kǒu 。 bù gǎn zài hú sī luàn xiǎng le 。
当然，察觉到这个念头，琴心羞的满面通红，在心中狠狠啐了一口。不敢再胡思乱想了。
A fierce north wind howled like a knife slicing through the face. Snowflakes as large as goose feathers fell from the sky. Suddenly, several streaks of green light appeared in the vast expanse above.
shí jiān màn màn liú shì ， bù zhī bù jué ， yǐ guò qù le xiǎo bàn gè shí chén zhī jiǔ 。
时间慢慢流逝，不知不觉，已过去了小半个时辰之久。
The lights dimmed and revealed two men and one woman's faces.
lín xuān suō huí le shǒu ：“ qín xīn ， mí gǎn jué rú hé ， shì shì fǎ lì kě yǒu huī fù ？”
林轩缩回了手：“琴心，弥感觉如何，试试法力可有恢复？”
Unlike the thickly dressed ordinary people, both women wore light dresses that fluttered like celestial maidens.
jīng guò zhè duàn shí jiān de àn shì xiāng chǔ ， lín xuān yǐ tǎn rán le xǔ duō ， yī zhě fù mǔ xīn 。 zì jǐ zhǐ wèi liáo shāng de yuán gù ， kě bìng wèi chī ōu yáng dòu fǔ 。
经过这段时间的暗室相处，林轩已坦然了许多，医者父母心。自己只为疗伤的缘故，可并未吃欧阳豆腐。
The man had an unremarkable appearance and was dressed in a thin green robe.
“ ó ！”
“哦！”
"Senior Master Lin, we have arrived at the border of Kunlang City. About ten thousand miles ahead is Hongyun Valley, where our sect's former main hall used to be," Wuyun'er respectfully spoke up, unable to help glancing at her companion on her left. Her master had been poisoned by a Heavenly Spider and was in a prolonged state of illness. Her cultivation level had almost matched that of the other girl, but she couldn't fight anyone. Master Lin's secret technique seemed to have temporarily restored her abilities. Wuyun'er admired him immensely.
qín xīn dī dī dā yìng 。 què bìng wèi zhēng kāi yǎn móu 。 jì xù pán xī ér zuò 。 shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù 。 yuán běn zhōng le tiān mèi zhōng dú ， tā yuán yīng suī rán bìng wèi bēng pán ， dàn yě chǔ yú le jiǎ sǐ zhuàng tài 。
琴心低低答应。却并未睁开眼眸。继续盘膝而坐。施展内视之术。原本中了天妹盅毒，她元婴虽然并未崩盘，但也处于了假死状态。
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but her master looked at Master Lin with an odd gaze these past few days.
rán ér cǐ kè de dān tián qì hǎi ， nà bái bái nèn nèn de yīng ér què zhēng kāi le yǎn 。 gǎn jué fǎ lì zài yī sī sī de huī fù ， ōu yáng qín xīn xīn zhōng dà xǐ 。 máng bǐng qì níng shén de kāi shǐ tiáo xī 。
然而此刻的丹田气海，那白白嫩嫩的婴儿却睁开了眼。感觉法力在一丝丝的恢复，欧阳琴心心中大喜。忙屏气凝神的开始调息。
Wuyun'er shook her head and decided not to think about it for now; revenge was the most important thing right now. The mere thought of killing those monks made her tremble with excitement.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， lín xuān què yě kàn zhe zì jǐ de shǒu zhǎng ， chén mò bù yǔ ， zài tā de zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。 yǒu yī lì cán dòu dà xiǎo de zǐ sè qì tuán 。
与此同时，林轩却也看着自己的手掌，沉默不语，在他的掌心之中。有一粒蚕豆大小的紫色气团。
It wasn't that Wuyun'er enjoyed killing, but the deep-seated grudge against the Green Cloud Mountain and the entire Wu family weighed heavily on her. She was the only survivor of the Wu clan.
zhè yě suàn shì yì wài xiàn ， bì huàn yōu huǒ jū rán bī chū le tiān mèi zhōng dú 。
这也算是意外现，碧幻幽火居然逼出了天妹盅毒。
Unlike cultivator families or sects, which were linked by bloodlines, ordinary people also made up a significant portion of their members. Even these harmless civilians had not been spared by the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, including the elderly and women and children. This was intolerable, and Wuyun'er longed to take revenge.
dāng rán ， zhǐ yǒu shǎo xǔ de yì diǎn 。
当然，只有少许的一点。
Although there were only three of them, Lin Xuan's abilities were well-known to her. As long as they didn't encounter an alchemy cultivator at that stage, they would be invincible.
bù guò yòng zhè ge fāng fǎ jiān chí qū dú ， àn mó de xué wèi zài duō yī xiē de huà ， zuì zhōng kěn dìng yě néng ràng qín xīn kāng fù 。
不过用这个方法坚持驱毒，按摩的穴位再多一些的话，最终肯定也能让琴心康复。
"Senior Master, should we hide our tracks?"
dàn zhè ge xiàn lín xuān kě bù hǎo yì si shuō chū lái 。 tài gān gà le yì diǎn 。
但这个现林轩可不好意思说出来。太尴尬了一点。
"No need to hide," said Lin Xuan, turning his head to look at the young woman in court attire beside him: "Qinxin, are you alright?"
hái shì kǎo lǜ móu duó huǒ jiāo wáng shǒu lǐ de xuè jiāo dān 。
还是考虑谋夺火蛟王手里的血蛟丹。
Although he had used the剧毒 from the碧幻幽火to temporarily restore her cultivation level, it was their first time doing so. Lin Xuan was worried about any unforeseen issues.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， jiāng zǐ sè de qì tuán xī rù shēn tǐ ， yǔ ōu yáng qíng xíng bù tóng ， zì jǐ xiū liàn de bì huàn yōu huǒ ， běn lái jiù shì zhì yáng zhì dú de shén tōng 。 tiān mèi zhōng dú 。 ràng bié de xiū shì tán zhī biàn sè ， dàn zài zì jǐ yǎn lǐ ， què biàn wèi le dà bǔ ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì bái bái làng fèi le ， liàn huà jìn bì huàn yōu huǒ ， zhè mó yán de shén tōng jué duì yòu néng tí shēng shǎo xǔ de 。
林轩叹了口气，将紫色的气团吸入身体，与欧阳情形不同，自己修炼的碧幻幽火，本来就是至阳至毒的神通。天妹盅毒。让别的修士谈之变色，但在自己眼里，却变为了大补，林轩自然不会白白浪费了，炼化进碧幻幽火，这魔炎的神通绝对又能提升少许的。
Ouyang Qinxin closed her eyes and checked her essence qi internally before smiling sweetly: "Brother Lin, don’t worry; I’m fine."
yú shì liǎng rén gè zì dǎ zuò ， yī rén tiáo xī huī fù fǎ lì ， lìng wài yí gè ， zé níng liàn qǐ le bì huàn yōu huǒ 。
于是两人各自打坐，一人调息恢复法力，另外一个，则凝炼起了碧幻幽火。
Since Ouyang Qinxin’s body showed no signs of trouble, Lin Xuan led the two women to a secluded spot for their rest. After traveling over seven million miles, even he had expended much of his essence qi.
zú zú guò le liǎng gè shí chén zhī jiǔ ， cái wú qiǎo bù qiǎo de jī hū tóng shí zhēng kāi le shuāng móu 。
足足过了两个时辰之久，才无巧不巧的几乎同时睁开了双眸。
Among the three, Wuyun'er was in the best condition since Lin Xuan carried her during their flight. Otherwise, it would have taken several days with that girl’s speed.
huì xīn yī xiào 。
会心一笑。
Lin Xuan took out two crystal stones and held them in his hands to restore his essence qi.
dàn hěn kuài ， lín xuān mō le mō bí zi ， mù guāng biàn dé yǒu xiē gān gà ， yǒu xiē huǒ rè ， ōu yáng yě xiàn le bù tuǒ ， yī shēng dī hū ， zì jǐ jū rán wàng le xiān chuān hǎo yī fú 。
但很快，林轩摸了摸鼻子，目光变得有些尴尬，有些火热，欧阳也现了不妥，一声低呼，自己居然忘了先穿好衣服。
After half an hour, he opened his eyes. Ouyang Qinxin was still meditating. Lin Xuan sighed; perhaps they should find a灵舟法宝for long-distance travel in the future.
máng yù 。 shǒu shēn chū ， líng guāng shǎn shuò ， suí hòu liǎng rén zhī jiān ， yǐ duō chū le yī xiē xiá wù ， ōu yáng kuài shǒu kuài jiǎo de chuān hǎo le yī fú 。
忙玉。手伸出，灵光闪烁，随后两人之间，已多出了一些霞雾，欧阳快手快脚的穿好了衣服。
Yunzhou’s vastness far exceeded Youzhou's, and even if he didn’t rest, it would take considerable time to fly from its northernmost point to its southernmost tip.
liǎng rì hòu 。
两日后。
Moreover, there were some sects on the other side of the sea, such as the天涯海阁. The wider the distance between islands, the more necessary it was to find a flying treasure.
fēng yè jùn jiù miàn jī lái shuō ， zài yún zhōu qī shí èr jùn zhōng yǐ kě pái míng qián wǔ ， suī rán yǔ xuán bīng jùn tóng shǔ yún zhōu běi bù ， dàn xiāng hù zhī jiān de jù lí 。 zé zú yǒu qī bā bǎi wàn lǐ 。
枫叶郡就面积来说，在云州七十二郡中已可排名前五，虽然与玄冰郡同属云州北部，但相互之间的距离。则足有七八百万里。
After waiting for about an hour, Ouyang Qinxin’s essence qi had fully recovered. Thus, they resumed their journey toward Hongyun Valley.
cóng zhè yì diǎn yě kě yǐ kàn chū ， yún zhōu zhī dà 。 shí zài yuǎn fēi yōu zhōu nà yàng de mán huāng zhī dì kě bǐ 。
从这一点也可以看出，云州之大。实在远非幽州那样的蛮荒之地可比。
The ten thousand miles seemed like nothing in an instant.
tiān qì yě dà bù xiāng tóng ， dāng xuán bīng jùn hái gāng gāng qiū liáng de shí hòu ， zhè lǐ jiù yǐ jīng tí zǎo jiù jìn rù le hán dōng 。
天气也大不相同，当玄冰郡还刚刚秋凉的时候，这里就已经提早就进入了寒冬。
Looking at the valley before them, Lin Xuan nodded. Not only was the environment serene and full of life, but it was also a prime location for a cultivation site. The aura here was twice as dense as that on Green Cloud Mountain.
běi fēng lì hào ， gē miàn rú dāo ， é máo bān de dà xuě ， cóng tiān kōng zhōng piāo luò ， tū rán jǐ dào qīng guāng 。 yě chū xiàn zài cāng qióng 。
北风厉号，割面如刀，鹅毛般的大雪，从天空中飘落，突然几道青光。也出现在苍穹。
Yunzhou truly was a holy land for cultivators; he wondered what the seven major sects’ main halls would be like.
guāng máng shōu liǎn ， lù chū le liǎng nán yī nǚ de róng yán 。
光芒收敛，露出了两男一女的容颜。
Just as Lin Xuan thought this, two streaks of lightning pierced through the sky, moving at an incredible speed. In an instant, they arrived before him.
yǔ chuān dé hòu hòu shí shí de fán rén bù tóng 。 liǎng gè nǚ zǐ 。 jiē zhe qīng bó de qún zhuāng ， piāo piāo rán yǒu rú jiǔ tiān xiān nǚ yī yàng 。
与穿得厚厚实实的凡人不同。两个女子。皆着轻薄的裙装，飘飘然有如九天仙女一样。
The lights dimmed to reveal one man and one woman.
nà nán zi zé róng mào píng fán ， chuān zhe dān bó de qīng shān 。
那男子则容貌平凡，穿着单薄的青衫。
Their appearances were unremarkable, both in their early twenties.
“ lín shī bó ， wǒ men yǐ jīng lái dào kūn lǎng chéng de dì jiè le ， zài wǎng qián wàn lǐ zuǒ yòu ， jiù shì hóng yún gǔ ， nà ér jiù shì bì pài xī rì de zǒng tán 。”
“林师伯，我们已经来到坤朗城的地界了，在往前万里左右，就是红云谷，那儿就是敝派昔日的总坛。”
"Are these not monks? Could it be from the Wei family?"
wǔ yún ér gōng jìng de kāi kǒu ， yī biān shuō 。 rěn bú zhù kàn le yī yǎn zuǒ biān de lìng yí gè nǚ hái ， shī zūn zhōng le tiān zhū zhōng dú ， chán mián fǎn fù 。 xiū wèi yǐ bèi mó dào le yǔ zì jǐ xiāng jìn de dì bù ， ér qiě hái bù néng yǔ rén dòng shǒu 。… xiǎo zhàn dào shī bó yòng le shén me mì shù ， jū rán ràng tā zàn qiě huī fù 。 wǔ yún ér duì lián ” fán pèi fú dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù ， jiǎn zhí biàn xiàng shì wú suǒ bù néng shì de 。
武云儿恭敬的开口，一边说。忍不住看了一眼左边的另一个女孩，师尊中了天蛛盅毒，缠绵反复。修为已被磨到了与自己相近的地步，而且还不能与人动手。…小占道师伯用了什么秘术，居然让她暂且恢复。武云儿对联”凡佩服到无以复加的地步，简直便像是无所不能似的。
Lin Xuan thought to himself, recalling that Wuyun'er had mentioned how the Green Cloud Mountain’s destruction was due to a conflict with a Wei family disciple during their treasure hunt. Although they emerged victorious and killed the only remaining old master of the Wei family, this incident led them to attract the attention of the massive Ten Thousand Buddha Sect.
dàn tā yě bù zhī dào shì bú shì zì jǐ duō xīn le ， zǒng zhī zhè liǎng tiān ， shī fù kàn shī bó de yǎn shén 。 yǒu nà me yì diǎn guài guài de 。
但她也不知道是不是自己多心了，总之这两天，师傅看师伯的眼神。有那么一点怪怪的。
Although the Wei family was not well-known, it had deep connections with the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect. The fallen old master of the Wei family was a lay disciple of the sect, though his cultivation level wasn’t on par with Lin Xuan’s. However, in terms of seniority, he could be considered a peer to the bald monk, as both were at the alchemy cultivator stage.
wǔ yún ér yáo le yáo tóu ， jué dìng xiān bù qù xiàng nà me duō ， rú jīn bào chóu cái shì zuì zhòng yào de ， yī xiǎng dào néng gòu shǒu rèn nà xiē tū lǘ ， tā jiù jī dòng dé hún shēn dǒu 。
武云儿摇了摇头，决定先不去像那么多，如今报仇才是最重要的，一想到能够手刃那些秃驴，她就激动得浑身抖。
Seeing two junior cultivators, Lin Xuan paid them no mind.
bú shì wǔ yún ér shì shā ， ér shì xuè hǎi shēn chóu 。 bì yún shān zàn qiě bù shuō ， zhěng gè wǔ jiā de xìng cún zhě yě jǐn yǒu tā yí gè 。
不是武云儿嗜杀，而是血海深仇。碧云山暂且不说，整个武家的幸存者也仅有她一个。
Although there was no concept of bullying weaker opponents in the cultivation world, Lin Xuan had no interest in dealing with such low-level cultivators.
xiū xiān jiā zú yǔ mén pài shì bù tóng de ， yǐ xuè mài zuò wèi guān lián ， suǒ yǐ chú le xiū xiān zhě ， tā men yě huì yǒu dà liàng de fán rén jiā shǔ 。
修仙家族与门派是不同的，以血脉做为关联，所以除了修仙者，他们也会有大量的凡人家属。
However, they seemed eager. Wei Xuefeng, the man, shouted loudly: "Three fellow daoists from which sect are you? Don’t you know that this is our Wei family’s main hall? Intruders will die!"
kě biàn shì zhè xiē méi yǒu sī háo wēi xié de pǔ tōng rén ， wàn fú zōng yě yí gè dōu méi yǒu fàng guò ， bāo kuò lǎo ruò fù rú ， shì kě rěn ， shú bù kě rěn ， wǔ yún ér zǎo jiù xiǎng yào shǒu rèn chóu rén 。
可便是这些没有丝毫威胁的普通人，万佛宗也一个都没有放过，包括老弱妇孺，是可忍，孰不可忍，武云儿早就想要手刃仇人。
A young bull doesn't fear tigers; with their old master having fallen and gaining a powerful ally in the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, the Wei family was now proud. Even minor sects and families within ten thousand miles bowed to them. The high-ranking cultivators of the Wei family understood how to act appropriately, but these youngsters didn’t know when to be cautious. Furthermore, their elders had been busy with a significant matter since the destruction of Green Cloud Mountain; after the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect’s experts hadn't returned to their temples, many more senior daoists arrived.
suī rán zì jǐ zhè biān jǐn yǒu sān rén ， bù guò lín shī bó de shén tōng tā jiàn guò ， zhǐ yào bù yù jiàn lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě 。 jué duì shì wàng fēng pī mǐ 。
虽然自己这边仅有三人，不过林师伯的神通她见过，只要不遇见离合期修仙者。绝对是望风披靡。
In other words, the experts were preoccupied and couldn’t manage the younger cultivators, who now acted as if they were above everyone else.
Lin Xuan's face was as smooth and flawless as jade, but his heart was tense. "※"
Though he had lived for over two hundred years, a cultivator’s age wasn’t calculated the same way as that of an ordinary person. In simple terms, he was still a young man in the prime of his life.
Clearly, it was not appropriate to take advantage of someone else's misfortune.
Lin Xuan's breathing was slightly hurried. He quickly closed his eyes and allowed his essence qi to circulate within him before suppressing any impure thoughts.
After reopening his eyes, Lin Xuan stretched out a hand. The碧幻幽火appeared in the palm of his hand.
Of course, he couldn't use such dark flames to touch Ouyang Qinxin's body. With the power of the碧幻幽火, even an alchemy cultivator without proper precautions could suffer severe damage. However, Lin Xuan wouldn’t waste this opportunity. He would integrate the remaining essence into his碧幻幽火, which would certainly enhance its potency.
Both sat in meditation, one focusing on restoring their essence qi while the other refined the碧幻幽火.
After two hours, they opened their eyes almost simultaneously. They exchanged a knowing smile.
However, Lin Xuan scratched his nose and his gaze became awkwardly heated. Ouyang Qinxin also realized something was amiss and quickly called out as she forgot to put on her clothes first.
She reached for her clothes, and the light flickered before some clouds of霞雾appeared between them. Ouyang Qinxin hurriedly dressed herself.
Two days later,
Fengye County, by area, ranked among the top five in Yunzhou’s seventy-two counties. Although it belonged to the northern region along with Xuanbing County, the distance between them was over seven million miles.
This difference also highlighted how vast Yunzhou was compared to the more primitive Youzhou.
The weather varied greatly; while Xuanbing County was just entering autumn, Fengye had already entered winter early.
A fierce north wind howled like a knife slicing through the face. Snowflakes as large as goose feathers fell from the sky. Suddenly, several streaks of green light appeared in the vast expanse above.
The lights dimmed and revealed two men and one woman's faces.
Unlike the thickly dressed ordinary people, both women wore light dresses that fluttered like celestial maidens.
The man had an unremarkable appearance and was dressed in a thin green robe.
"Senior Master Lin, we have arrived at the border of Kunlang City. About ten thousand miles ahead is Hongyun Valley, where our sect's former main hall used to be," Wuyun'er respectfully spoke up, unable to help glancing at her companion on her left.

"Senior Master, should we hide our tracks?"
"No need to hide," said Lin Xuan, turning his head to look at the young woman in court attire beside him: "Qinxin, are you alright?"
Although he had used the剧毒 from the碧幻幽火to temporarily restore her cultivation level, it was their first time doing so. Lin Xuan was worried about any unforeseen issues.
Ouyang Qinxin closed her eyes and checked her essence qi internally before smiling sweetly: "Brother Lin, don’t worry; I’m fine."

After half an hour, he opened his eyes. Ouyang Qinxin was still meditating. Lin Xuan sighed; perhaps they should find a灵舟法宝for long-distance travel in the future.
Yunzhou’s vastness far exceeded Youzhou's, and even if he didn’t rest, it would take considerable time to fly from its northernmost point to its southernmost tip.
Moreover, there were some sects on the other side of the sea, such as the天涯海阁. The wider the distance between islands, the more necessary it was to find a flying treasure.
After waiting for about an hour, Ouyang Qinxin’s essence qi had fully recovered. Thus, they resumed their journey toward Hongyun Valley.
The ten thousand miles seemed like nothing in an instant.
Looking at the valley before them, Lin Xuan nodded. Not only was the environment serene and full of life, but it was also a prime location for a cultivation site. The aura here was twice as dense as that on Green Cloud Mountain.
Yunzhou truly was a holy land for cultivators; he wondered what the seven major sects’ main halls would be like.
Just as Lin Xuan thought this, two streaks of lightning pierced through the sky, moving at an incredible speed. In an instant, they arrived before him.
The lights dimmed to reveal one man and one woman.
Their appearances were unremarkable, both in their early twenties.
"Are these not monks? Could it be from the Wei family?"
Lin Xuan thought to himself, recalling that Wuyun'er had mentioned how the Green Cloud Mountain’s destruction was due to a conflict with a Wei family disciple during their treasure hunt. Although they emerged victorious and killed the only remaining old master of the Wei family, this incident led them to attract the attention of the massive Ten Thousand Buddha Sect.
Although the Wei family was not well-known, it had deep connections with the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect. The fallen old master of the Wei family was a lay disciple of the sect, though his cultivation level wasn’t on par with Lin Xuan’s. However, in terms of seniority, he could be considered a peer to the bald monk, as both were at the alchemy cultivator stage.
Seeing two junior cultivators, Lin Xuan paid them no mind.
Although there was no concept of bullying weaker opponents in the cultivation world, Lin Xuan had no interest in dealing with such low-level cultivators.
However, they seemed eager. Wei Xuefeng, the man, shouted loudly: "Three fellow daoists from which sect are you? Don’t you know that this is our Wei family’s main hall? Intruders will die!"
A young bull doesn't fear tigers; with their old master having fallen and gaining a powerful ally in the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, the Wei family was now proud. Even minor sects and families within ten thousand miles bowed to them. The high-ranking cultivators of the Wei family understood how to act appropriately, but these youngsters didn’t know when to be cautious. Furthermore, their elders had been busy with a significant matter since the destruction of Green Cloud Mountain; after the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect’s experts hadn't returned to their temples, many more senior daoists arrived.
In other words, the experts were preoccupied and couldn’t manage the younger cultivators, who now acted as if they were above everyone else.
