ér tōng bǎo jué dì yī céng ， yuán yīng zhōng qī jiù kě chū bù zhǎng wò ， xiǎn rán shì zì jǐ jī de fāng shì méi yǒu yòng duì le 。 nà gāi zěn me bàn ne ？ lín xuān yǒu xiē ào nǎo de sī suǒ 。” bù guǎn ， xiān dǎ zuò ma ， xiū xī yī huì er zài shuō 。
而通宝决第一层，元婴中期就可初步掌握，显然是自己激的方式没有用对了。那该怎么办呢？林轩有些懊恼的思索。”不管，先打坐吗，休息一会儿再说。
While the first layer of Through Treasure Art could be roughly mastered by an intermediate-stage元婴, Lin Xuan was clearly not using the right method. What should he do then? He pondered with some frustration.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān qǔ chū jǐ kē líng yào tūn fú ， rán hòu tiáo xī huī fù qǐ fǎ lì lái le ， yī tiān yī yè zhī hòu ， sǔn hào de zhēn wú yǐ jīng bǔ mǎn ， tā chóng xīn yán jiū qǐ tōng tiān líng bǎo lái 。
念及至此，林轩取出几颗灵药吞服，然后调息恢复起法力来了，一天一夜之后，损耗的真无已经补满，他重新研究起通天灵宝来。
"Never mind, let's just meditate for now and rest a bit."
zhè yī yán jiū ， yòu shì níng tiān de gōng fu ， lín xuān zhèng mó yāo jiān xiū ， suǒ xué zì rán jí wéi guǎng bó ， jiù suàn bǐ qǐ lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， kǒng pà yě chà bù liǎo shén me 。
这一研究，又是宁天的功夫，林轩正魔妖兼修，所学自然极为广博，就算比起离合期修仙者，恐怕也差不了什么。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan took out several spirit herbs and swallowed them. He then adjusted his breathing to recover his mana. After a day and night, the lost true essence was replenished, and he resumed studying the Through Treasure Art.
rán ér zhè bàn tiān shí jiān lǐ ， tā yòng jǐn le suǒ huì de měi yī zhǒng mì shù ， yī jiù shì bàn diǎn xiào guǒ yě wú ， zuì hòu wú nài zhī xià ， shén me dāo kǎn huǒ shāo ， lián bèn bàn fǎ dōu yī yī cháng shì ， nà dùn pái hái shì yǒu rú yī kuài wán shí 。
然而这半天时间里，他用尽了所会的每一种秘术，依旧是半点效果也无，最后无奈之下，什么刀砍火烧，连笨办法都一一尝试，那盾牌还是有如一块顽石。
This study took him many days. Lin Xuan practiced both magic arts and cultivation techniques, so his knowledge was broad indeed; even compared to a Separation-stage cultivator, he might not be far behind.
lín xuān yuán yǔ ， nà gǎn jué jiù fǎng fú qián miàn shì yī zuò bǎo shān ， què piān piān zhǎo bú dào jìn qù de yào shi ， yù mèn kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
林轩元语，那感觉就仿佛前面是一座宝山，却偏偏找不到进去的钥匙，郁闷可想而知。
However, after half a day of trying every known secret technique, he still saw no results. Finally, out of desperation, he tried everything from cutting with knives and burning with fire to the most basic methods. The shield remained as stubborn as a rock.
dāng rán ， tā bú huì fàng qì ， bì jìng lín xuān de xīn xìng yuǎn fēi cháng rén kě bǐ ， dāng nián chū rù xiān lù ， bèi zhǎng bèi qīng shì ， bèi tóng mén qī rǔ ， tā yě yì xīn yí yì de kǔ xiū ， hé kuàng xiàn zài yǐ zhàn zài rén jiè dǐng fēng ， cǐ bǎo zì jǐ yí dìng néng gòu xiǎng dào bàn fǎ yùn yòng 。 lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， jì xù zhòu méi sī suǒ 。
当然，他不会放弃，毕竟林轩的心性远非常人可比，当年初入仙路，被长辈轻视，被同门欺辱，他也一心一意的苦修，何况现在已站在人界顶峰，此宝自己一定能够想到办法运用。林轩叹了口气，继续皱眉思索。
Lin Xuan felt like there was a treasure mountain in front of him but no key to enter it. His frustration was palpable.
nán dào yào zì jǐ tuān xuè rèn zhǔ ， lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， zì jǐ dōu jué de zhè ge xiǎng fǎ huāng miù ， nà yě wèi miǎn tài gǒu xuè le 。 kě mì shù jī hū yǐ jīng yòng biàn le ， bǎi wú liáo lài zhī xià ， zuò yī xià cháng shì ， sì hū yě wú bù kě 。 sú huà shuō ， sǐ mǎ dàng zuò huó mǎ yī ， wàn yī xiā māo zá shàng sǐ hào zi …… lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng yī biān zhuǎn zhe mò míng qí miào de niàn tou ， yī biān zhōng yú jué dìng dòng shǒu 。
难道要自己湍血认主，林轩摇了摇头，自己都觉得这个想法荒谬，那也未免太狗血了。可秘术几乎已经用遍了，百无聊赖之下，做一下尝试，似乎也无不可。俗话说，死马当作活马医，万一瞎猫砸上死耗子……林轩脑海中一边转着莫名其妙的念头，一边终于决定动手。
Of course, he wouldn't give up. After all, his temperament far surpassed that of ordinary people; back when he first entered the path of cultivation and was looked down upon by elders and bullied by fellow disciples, he still focused on hard practice. Now standing at the peak of the mortal world, he must find a way to use this treasure.
zhāng kāi kǒu ， yī dào qīng máng pēn tǔ ér chū ， wéi zhe tā de zuǒ shǒu yī rào ， shǒu wàn yǐ bèi gē pò ， huā lā lā de xiān xuè liú chū 。 dùn pái zì rán zǎo jiù fàng zài xià miàn le 。
张开口，一道青芒喷吐而出，围着他的左手一绕，手腕已被割破，哗啦啦的鲜血流出。盾牌自然早就放在下面了。
Sighing, Lin Xuan continued to frown in thought.
xiān xuè xùn jìn le jìn qù ， yī céng jīn sè de ruì qì ， cóng nà hēi hū hū de dùn pái biǎo miàn ， wú shēng wú xī de tòu le chū lái 。“ zhè shì yī yī yī yī yī yī ”
鲜血迅浸了进去，一层金色的瑞气，从那黑乎乎的盾牌表面，无声无息的透了出来。“这是一一一一一一”
Could he have to go through the process of blood recognition? Lin Xuan shook his head; that idea seemed absurd and too cliché. However, since he had exhausted all other methods, he decided to try it.
lín xuān yī dāi ， suí hòu dà xǐ le qǐ lái ， píng xīn lái shuō ， tā suī zài zhè me zuò ， dàn xīn zhōng gēn běn jiù méi yǒu bào duō shǎo xī wàng de ， méi xiǎng dào ， zì jǐ zhè yī bǎ hái dǔ duì le 。
林轩一呆，随后大喜了起来，平心来说，他虽在这么做，但心中根本就没有抱多少希望的，没想到，自己这一把还赌对了。
He took out a sound transmission talisman and withdrew the outer禁制 from the valley. A gentle step approached after only a short while.
yùn qì zhēn bù cuò ！
运气真不错！
Lin Xuan looked up and saw a fair-skinned young woman bowing before him: "Mistress Lu Ying'er greets Master. I wonder what you have summoned me for."
lín xuān máng yī zhǎ bù zhǎ de jiāng yǎn qián dīng zhe 。
林轩忙一眨不眨的将眼前盯着。
As the head of the Lu Xuan Pavilion, Lu Ying'er had seen many things but still couldn't help feeling surprised by the piles of colorful crystal stones, estimated to be over seven million in total value.
zhǐ jiàn měi yī dī xiān xuè ， dōu bèi dùn pái xī shōu ， shàng miàn de jīn sè ruì qì ， yě yuè lái yuè nóng ， lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān ， yě zhōng yú lù chū le kāi xīn de xiào róng 。
只见每一滴鲜血，都被盾牌吸收，上面的金色瑞气，也越来越浓，林轩的嘴角边，也终于露出了开心的笑容。
There were also various spirit pills and treasures; any one of those would make an intermediate-stage元婴 cultivator envious. What was Master planning?
shǎo qǐng zhī hòu ， nà dùn pái zhōng yú zài cì shēng biàn huà ， xiān xuè yě bù bèi xī shōu ， kàn lái zú gòu ， lín xuān yòu shǒu yī fān ， jiāng yī zhāng fú zuǎn tiē zài shāng kǒu shàng miàn ， nà huà chū lái de jiàn hén xiāo nì bú jiàn 。 wēng yī yī r yī yī yī
少顷之后，那盾牌终于再次生变化，鲜血也不被吸收，看来足够，林轩右手一翻，将一张苻纂贴在伤口上面，那划出来的剑痕消匿不见。嗡一一r一一一
Though puzzled, Lu Ying'er didn't speak out. As a subordinate, she shouldn't ask questions unless asked. If Master wanted her to know something, he would explain it himself.
yī shēng qīng míng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà dùn pái yǒu rú tōng líng le yì bān ， zì jǐ cóng dì shàng fēi le qǐ lái ， rán hòu kāi shǐ tuì biàn ， biǎo miàn nà céng hēi hū hū de dōng xī yì diǎn yì diǎn tuì qù ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī yín guāng càn làn de dùn pái 。 kàn shàng qù yǒu diǎn xiàng jiāo lóng de lín piàn 。
一声清鸣传入耳朵，那盾牌有如通灵了一般，自己从地上飞了起来，然后开始蜕变，表面那层黑乎乎的东西一点一点退去，取而代之的是一银光灿烂的盾牌。看上去有点像蛟龙的鳞片。
Lin Xuan's expression turned pleased: "No need for formalities, Ying'er. I summoned you here because the pavilion needs to expand and will require substantial resources."
bù guò zuì ràng lín xuān jīng yí de shì shàng miàn kè yǒu de gǔ guài wén lù ， yǔ zài ā xiū luó xíng gōng suǒ jiàn dào de chuán sòng zhèn ， shàng de lòu kōng diāo kè pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。 tōng tiān líng bǎo ， bù kuì shì shàng jiè zhī wù 。
不过最让林轩惊疑的是上面刻有的古怪纹路，与在阿修罗行宫所见到的传送阵，上的镂空雕刻颇有几分相似之处。通天灵宝，不愧是上界之物。
Lu Ying'er hesitated but shook her head vigorously: "Master, this is inappropriate. The Lu Xuan Pavilion has accumulated some wealth in its dominance of Youzhou; how can I accept your gifts?"
lín xuān yǎn jīng huī mī ， suí hòu cóng nà dùn pái de biǎo miàn ， piāo fú chū le yí gè gè dòu dà de jīn sè wén zì ， yí gè gè líng guāng chēng yǎn ， kàn shàng qù xuàn mù yǐ jí 。 lín xuān xīn zhōng bù yóu de dà xǐ ， máng níng mù wàng le guò qù 。 bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì tōng bǎo jué wú yí 。 bù guò liáo liáo qiān jīn yán ér yǐ ， lín xuān yī yī yòng xīn jì zài le nǎo hǎi lǐ 。
林轩眼睛徽眯，随后从那盾牌的表面，漂浮出了一个个斗大的金色文字，一个个灵光撑眼，看上去炫目以极。林轩心中不由得大喜，忙凝目望了过去。不用说，自然是通宝诀无疑。不过寥寥千金言而已，林轩一一用心记在了脑海里。
"Stupid girl, just take it," Lin Xuan said with a smile. "What's the harm? I know the pavilion has some savings, but Yunzhou isn't as barbaric as Youzhou. Besides, I'm rich enough to spare a few coins."
dāng rán ， xiàn zài jǐn jǐn shì líng lún tūn zǎo ér yǐ ， tōng bǎo jué zì zì zhū jī ， xiǎng yào xiū liàn de shí hòu ， hái yào hǎo hǎo tǐ huì lǐng wù cái xíng 。 lín xuān shēn shǒu yī pāi ， qǔ chū yī kòng bái ái yù sì jiǎn ， jiāng zhè qiān yú yán ， quán bù lòu kè jìn lǐ miàn 。“ qiān huàn jiāo wén dùn ！”
当然，现在仅仅是囹囵吞枣而已，通宝诀字字珠玑，想要修炼的时候，还要好好体会领悟才行。林轩伸手一拍，取出一空白皑玉笥简，将这千余言，全部镂刻进里面。“千幻蛟纹盾！”
Lu Ying'er was amused and giggled softly, but still shook her head.
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ ， cóng cǐ bǎo de míng zì tā kě yǐ tuī duàn chū ， zhè jiàn tōng tiān líng bǎo yǔ shàng jiè de jiāo lóng yī zú ， duō bàn dà yǒu guān xì ， zhǐ shì bù zhī dào ， wèi hé huì liú luò zài le zhè yī chù rén jiè lǐ 。
林轩喃喃自语，从此宝的名字他可以推断出，这件通天灵宝与上界的蛟龙一族，多半大有关系，只是不知道，为何会流落在了这一处人界里。
Lin Xuan frowned, his expression turning gloomy: "Ying'er, you've grown too independent; even my words are no longer obeyed."
dāng rán ， shēn jiū zhè xiē méi yǒu yì yì ， cǐ dùn duì zì jǐ dà yǒu yòng tú ， yǒu gǔ zuò wèi fáng yù ， jí shǐ zài miàn duì lí hé qī lǎo guài wù ， zì jǐ yě dǐ qì shí zú ， lín xuān jiāng gǔ yǔ kè yǒu tōng bǎo jué de yù sì jiǎn ， xiǎo xīn yì yì de shōu rù le chǔ wù dài zhōng 。
当然，深究这些没有意义，此盾对自己大有用途，有牯做为防御，即使再面对离合期老怪物，自己也底气十足，林轩将牯与刻有通宝诀的玉笥简，小心翼翼的收入了储物袋中。
"No, Mistress Lu is not that meaning," Lu Ying'er hurriedly knelt down.
bǎo wù yǐ pán diǎn hǎo le ， lín xuān lüè yī sī suǒ ， qǔ chū le yī dào chuán yīn fú ， rán hòu yòu jiāng gǔ wài de jìn zhì chè chū 。
宝物已盘点好了，林轩略一思索，取出了一道传音符，然后又将谷外的禁制撤出。
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly. This girl was stubborn; he should have just spoken clearly.
jǐn jǐn guò le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， qīng róu de jiǎo bù shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， lín xuān tái qǐ tóu ， jiù kàn jiàn yí miàn róng qīng xiù de shào nǚ 。 lù yíng ér zhèng chōng tā yíng yíng bài le xià qù ：“ xiǎo bì jiàn guò shào yé ， bù zhī dào nǐ zhào wǒ lái ， yǒu shén me fēn fù 。”
仅仅过了一盏茶的功夫，轻柔的脚步声传入耳里，林轩抬起头，就看见一面容清秀的少女。陆盈儿正冲他盈盈拜了下去：“小婢见过少爷，不知道你召我来，有什么吩咐。”
"Since you're loyal to me, don't argue with me. Just accept the crystal stones and treasures." "Yes!"
zuò wèi bài xuān gé zhī zhǔ ， lù yíng ér yě suàn jiàn guò dà chǎng miàn de ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， liǎn shàng yě bù yóu zì zhǔ de lù chū le jīng yà zhī sè 。 nà duī jī rú shān de wǔ cǎi jīng shí ， chū lüè yī shù ， kǒng pà yǒu qī bā bǎi wàn zhī duō 。
做为拜轩阁之主，陆盈儿也算见过大场面的，但此时此刻，脸上也不由自主的露出了惊讶之色。那堆积如山的五彩晶石，初略一数，恐怕有七八百万之多。
Lu Ying'er finally nodded obediently. She knew Master's intentions were good and felt grateful: "Thank you for your generosity, Mistress Lu will not disappoint you."
hái yǒu gè zhǒng gè yàng líng dān yǔ bǎo wù ， nà xiē fǎ bǎo ， suí biàn yī jiàn ， dū huì ràng yuán yīng qī lǎo guài yǎn rè ， shào yé zhè shì xiǎng yào zuò shén me 。
还有各种各样灵丹与宝物，那些法宝，随便一件，都会让元婴期老怪眼热，少爷这是想要做什么。
She then took out several storage bags and sorted the treasures into them.
xīn zhōng yí huò ， bù guò cǐ nǚ què guāi qiǎo de méi yǒu kāi kǒu ， zuò wèi xià shǔ ， bù gāi wèn de jiù bú yào duō shuō ， shào yé rú guǒ xiǎng yào zì jǐ zhī xiǎo ， bú yòng shuō ， yě huì zhǔ dòng jiě huò 。 lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī ， níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě zhōng ， yǒu zhè yàng dìng lì de kě bù duō ， zhè liǎng bǎi nián ， yíng fán què shí lì liàn chū lái le ， chú le xiū wèi zhěn dī ， zuò yí miàn zhī xióng méi yǒu wèn tí 。
心中疑惑，不过此女却乖巧的没有开口，做为下属，不该问的就不要多说，少爷如果想要自己知晓，不用说，也会主动解惑。林轩脸上露出满意之，凝丹期修仙者中，有这样定力的可不多，这两百年，盈凡确实历练出来了，除了修为稹低，做一面之雄没有问题。
"Master, is there anything else?" "No, I'll be sequestered in meditation for the next six months. Don't disturb me unless it's something urgent." Lin Xuan closed his eyes and spoke slowly.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū jǐ fēn xiào yì ：“ bù yòng duō lǐ ， yíng ér ， wǒ jiào $$； lái ， shì ràng $$； qīng diǎn bǎo wù ， bài xuān gé xiǎng yào zhǎn ， zì rán xū yào xiāo hào dà liàng zī yuán 。”
林轩嘴角边露出几分笑意：“不用多礼，盈儿，我叫$$；来，是让$$；清点宝物，拜轩阁想要展，自然需要消耗大量资源。”
"Yes, Mistress Lu understands," she bowed and left the stone room, transforming into a streak of light that flew out of the valley.
， zhè yī yī yī yī yī yī ” lù yíng ér yī dāi máng lián lián yáo shǒu le qǐ lái =“ shào yé zhè zěn me kě yǐ ， bài xuān gé chēng bà yōu zhōu ， duō shǎo yě yǒu yī xiē jī xù ， xiǎo bì zài wú néng ， yòu zěn me néng jiē shòu shào yé de kuì zèng 。”
，这一一一一一一”陆盈儿一呆忙连连摇手了起来=“少爷这怎么可以，拜轩阁称霸幽州，多少也有一些积蓄，小婢再无能，又怎么能接受少爷的馈赠。”
The stone palace was quiet again.
“ shǎ yā tou ， ràng $$； ná zhe jiù ná zhe ， nǎ ér nà me duō fèi huà ， wǒ zhī dào bài xuān gé yǒu yī xiē jī xù ， dàn yún zhōu qǐ shì yōu zhōu nà yàng de mán huāng zhī dì kě bǐ ， hé kuàng shào yé wǒ fù dé liú yóu ， tāo yāo bāo bǔ tiē yī xià yě bù suàn shén me 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō 。 zuì hòu yī jù huà jiāng lù yíng ér yě dòu lè le ， yǎn dí quán hào ， dàn hái shì lián lián yáo shǒu 。
“傻丫头，让$$；拿着就拿着，哪儿那么多废话，我知道拜轩阁有一些积蓄，但云州岂是幽州那样的蛮荒之地可比，何况少爷我富得流油，掏腰包补贴一下也不算什么。”林轩微笑着说。最后一句话将陆盈儿也逗乐了，掩嘀辁昊，但还是连连摇手。
With all the treasures accounted for, the next step naturally involved healing and recuperation. Originally, he had planned to take a year or so, but with the Primordial Return Pill, it should only take about twenty days to replenish his life essence.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， liǎn sè yǒu xiē yīn chén xià lái ：“ yíng ér ，$$； xiàn zài chì bǎng yìng le ， lián wǒ de huà yě gǎn bù tīng 。”“ bù ， xiǎo bì bú shì zhè ge yì si 。” lù yíng ér dà jí ， máng guì le xià qù 。
林轩眉头一皱，脸色有些阴沉下来：“盈儿，$$；现在翅膀硬了，连我的话也敢不听。”“不，小婢不是这个意思。”陆盈儿大急，忙跪了下去。
Of course, these twenty days would require constant meditation; it was akin to closing oneself in a death-and-life gate, where even the slightest distraction could lead to failure. Lin Xuan believed there wouldn't be any external threats during this time but worried that Mo'er's condensation might need his attention.
lín xuān qiāo qiāo zài xīn zhōng tàn xī ， zhè yā tou yě shǔ lǘ ， hǎo hǎo shuō bù tīng ， fēi yào zhuāng chū yī fù hěn xiōng de biǎo qíng ：“ jì rán $$； xiào zhōng wǒ ， nà běn shào yé de huà jiù bú yào fǎn bó ， guāi guāi jiāng bì xiē jīng shí hái yǒu bǎo wù shōu xià le 。”“ shì ！”
林轩悄悄在心中叹息，这丫头也属驴，好好说不听，非要装出一副很凶的表情：“既然$$；效忠我，那本少爷的话就不要反驳，乖乖将避些晶石还有宝物收下了。”“是！”
After much thought, he decided to check on the little girl first. Raising his clothes, Lin Xuan walked out of the stone room towards her practice chamber.
lù yíng ér zhōng yú guāi guāi de diǎn le diǎn tóu ， qí shí tā hé cháng bù zhī dào shào yé shì wèi shě jǐ zhè xiē rén hǎo ， xīn zhōng mǎn shì gǎn jī ：“ duō xiè shào yé ēn cì ， shǔ xià yí dìng bú huì gū fù nǐ 。”
陆盈儿终于乖乖的点了点头，其实她何尝不知道少爷是为舍己这些人好，心中满是感激：“多谢少爷恩赐，属下一定不会辜负你。”
There were no禁制 outside the room where Mo'er practiced. Lin Xuan pushed open the door and stepped inside.
suí hòu cǐ nǚ shǒu wàn fān zhuǎn ， yī lián qǔ chū shù gè chǔ wù dài ， jiāng lín xuān cì yǔ de bǎo wù fēn mén bié lèi de zhuāng zài le lǐ miàn 。“ shào yé ， bù zhī dào nín hái yǒu shén me fēn fù 。”“ méi le ， wèi lái bàn nián nèi ， wǒ dū huì bì guān ， rú guǒ méi yǒu shén me tè bié de dà shì ， bú yào dǎ rǎo wǒ 。” lín xuān bì shàng shuāng móu ， huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu 。“ shì ， xiǎo bì qīng chǔ ， nà zhè jiù gào tuì le 。” lù yíng ér xíng le yī lǐ ， zhuǎn shēn tuì chū shí shì ， rán hòu huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， fēi chū le shān gǔ 。 shí gōng lǐ chóng xīn ān jìng le xià lái 。
随后此女手腕翻转，一连取出数个储物袋，将林轩赐予的宝物分门别类的装在了里面。“少爷，不知道您还有什么吩咐。”“没了，未来半年内，我都会闭关，如果没有什么特别的大事，不要打扰我。”林轩闭上双眸，缓缓的开口。“是，小婢清楚，那这就告退了。”陆盈儿行了一礼，转身退出石室，然后化为一道惊虹，飞出了山谷。石宫里重新安静了下来。
Red light shone brightly, and an astonishing amount of life force rushed out. This energy was different from what he had experienced before; it seemed almost alive.
bǎo wù yǐ qīng diǎn wán le ， jiē xià lái zì rán gāi liáo shāng jìng yǎng ， yuán běn yù jì xū yào yī nián bàn zǎi ， rú jīn yǒu xiān tiān huí yuán dān ， èr shí duō tiān yīng gāi jiù néng bǔ mǎn sǔn shī de běn mìng zhēn wú 。
宝物已清点完了，接下来自然该疗伤静养，原本预计需要一年半载，如今有先天回元丹，二十多天应该就能补满损失的本命真无。
A loud thud echoed in his ears as if hit by a hammer. Lin Xuan flew back like a meteor and crashed into the stone wall behind him. Pieces of rock fell to the ground, and Lin Xuan emerged, looking bewildered: "What's going on?"
dāng rán ， zhè èr shí duō tiān bì xū yì zhí dǎ zuò ， yǔ bì shēng sǐ guān yì qǔ tóng gōng ， bù néng bèi wài wù dǎ rǎo fēn háo ， fǒu zé jiù yǒu qián gōng jìn qì de wēi xiǎn le 。 lín xuān xiāng xìn zhè duàn shí jiān nèi bù kě néng yǒu wài dí ， wéi yī dān xīn de jiù shì yuè ér jié yīng xū yào zì jǐ zhào gù 。 qián sī hòu xiǎng ， zǒng yě fàng xīn bù xià ， hái shì xiān qù xiǎo yā tou nà lǐ kàn yī kàn ba 。 ń dào jiù zuò ， lín xuān zhèn yī ér qǐ ， xiàng shí shì wài zǒu qù 。 zhǔ pú èr rén gòng yòng de yí gè dòng fǔ ， zì rán shì zhuǎn shùn jiù dào le 。 yuè ér suǒ zài de liàn gōng fáng wài ， yě méi yǒu jìn zhì ， lín xuān tuī mén zǒu le jìn qù 。
当然，这二十多天必须一直打坐，与闭生死关异曲同工，不能被外物打扰分毫，否则就有前功尽弃的危险了。林轩相信这段时间内不可能有外敌，唯一担心的就是月儿结婴需要自己照顾。前思后想，总也放心不下，还是先去小丫头那里看一看吧。嗯到就做，林轩振衣而起，像石室外走去。主仆二人共用的一个洞府，自然是转瞬就到了。月儿所在的练功房外，也没有禁制，林轩推门走了进去。
Lin Xuan stood up, slowly walking forward. Entering the stone room again, he was prepared for something similar but underestimated the power of the life force. The result was still the same; he was thrown back out.
hóng máng yào mù ， yī gǔ jīng rén yǐ jí de líng qì fēng yōng ér chū ， nà líng qì yǔ zì jǐ yǐ qián jiē chù dào de wán quán bù tóng ， jìng fǎng fú yǒu shēng mìng shì de 。
红芒耀目，一股惊人以极的灵气蜂拥而出，那灵气与自己以前接触到的完全不同，竟仿佛有生命似的。
Over several attempts, Lin Xuan found himself repeatedly flung out with no success. He had endured quite a bit of hardship, though as an advanced-stage元婴 cultivator, if he really pushed hard, he might have managed to enter eventually.
pēng de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān fǎng fú bèi dà chuí zá zhōng ， rú liú xīng yì bān de dào fēi huí lái ， hěn hěn de zhuàng zài hòu miàn de shí bì shàng le 。 huā lā lā ， suì shí là le yī dì ， lín xuān cóng lǐ miàn pá le chū lái ， mǎn miàn è rán 。 zhè shì zěn me huí shì ？
嘭的一声传入耳朵，林轩仿佛被大锤砸中，如流星一般的倒飞回来，狠狠的撞在后面的石壁上了。哗啦啦，碎石落了一地，林轩从里面爬了出来，满面愕然。这是怎么回事？
But Lin Xuan didn't understand the situation and was too cautious to force his way in; any mistake could result in Mo'er's failure. What should he do?
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo de zhàn qǐ ， huǎn huǎn de xiàng qián fāng zǒu qù ， zài cì jìn rù shí shì ， zhè yī huí ， tā xīn zhōng yǒu le fáng bèi ， rán ér duì nà líng lì de kě pà chéng dù ， yī jiù gū jì bù zú ， jié guǒ xià chǎng hái shì yǔ gāng gāng yī yàng ， yòu bèi hěn hěn de pāo fēi chū lái le 。
林轩眉头一挑的站起，缓缓的像前方走去，再次进入石室，这一回，他心中有了防备，然而对那灵力的可怕程度，依旧估计不足，结果下场还是与刚刚一样，又被狠狠的抛飞出来了。
Just when he was hesitating, a clear but disdainful voice rang out: "What pig are you again?"
jiù zhè yàng ， lín xuān lián xù shì le qī bā cì ， xià chǎng dōu yǔ xiān qián xiāng tóng ， jiā qǐ lái ， yě chī le bù xiǎo de kǔ tóu ， dāng rán ， zuò wèi yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， tā rú guǒ zhēn de bù guǎn bù gù ， yě bú shì shuō ， jiù yí dìng chōng bù jìn qù 。
就这样，林轩连续试了七八次，下场都与先前相同，加起来，也吃了不小的苦头，当然，做为元婴后期的大修仙者，他如果真的不管不顾，也不是说，就一定冲不进去。
"Xiao Tao?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. When had she woken up? It wasn't surprising that Xiao Tao called him 'pig' after Mo'er's spirit recognition; no one else used such a term.
dàn lín xuān nòng bù qīng chǔ zhuàng kuàng ， zì rán bù gǎn yòng qiáng ， wàn yī yuè ér jié yīng chū le chā cuò ， zì jǐ qǐ bù shì yào kū sǐ le 。 gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
但林轩弄不清楚状况，自然不敢用强，万一月儿结婴出了差错，自己岂不是要哭死了。该怎么办呢？
"How is Mo'er, and is her condensation going smoothly?" Lin Xuan didn't have the heart to argue with her. He only cared if everything was proceeding well for Mo'er.
zhèng gǎn chóu chú ， yī hǎo tīng què chōng mǎn bù xiè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ nǐ zhè zhū zěn me yòu lái le ？”
正感踌躇，一好听却充满不屑的声音传入耳朵：“你这猪怎么又来了？”
"Hmph, condensation? You dream," Xiao Tao said disdainfully. "You don't understand; stop talking nonsense."
“ xiǎo táo ？” lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， nà yā tou shén me shí hòu xǐng le ， yě nán guài lín xuān yìn xiàng shēn s1， zhè me duō nián yǐ lái ， huì yòng “ zhū ” yī cí chēng hū zì jǐ de ， chú le yuè ér tōng líng hòu de xuán yīn bǎo hé ， yě zài méi yǒu bié rén le 。“ yuè ér qíng kuàng rú hé ， jié yīng kě hái shùn lì me ？” lín xuān zì rán méi yǒu xīn qíng yǔ zhè yā tou dòu kǒu ， tā zhǐ guān xīn yuè ér shì fǒu yī qiè shùn chàng 。“ hēng ， jié yīng ， nǐ xiǎng dé měi ， dǒng dōu bù dǒng ， jiù bú yào luàn shuō 。”“ shén me ，$$； bú shì shuō guò ， qǔ dào xiū luó shén xuè ， yuè ér jié yīng jiù néng chéng gōng ， nán dào yǒu chà liè ？” lín xuān liǎn sè yī chén de kāi kǒu le 。“ hēng ， xiǎo jiě jié yīng dāng rán bú huì yǒu wèn tí ， wǒ zhǐ shì shuō ， méi yǒu nǐ xiǎng xiàng de nà me kuài ér yǐ ， bì xū xiān jiāng xiū luó shén xuè liàn huà ， nǐ yǐ wéi róng hé shì nà me róng yì ma ？”
“小桃？”林轩眉头一挑，那丫头什么时候醒了，也难怪林轩印象深s1，这么多年以来，会用“猪”一词称呼自己的，除了月儿通灵后的玄阴宝盒，也再没有别人了。“月儿情况如何，结婴可还顺利么？”林轩自然没有心情与这丫头斗口，他只关心月儿是否一切顺畅。“哼，结婴，你想得美，懂都不懂，就不要乱说。”“什么，$$；不是说过，取到修罗神血，月儿结婴就能成功，难道有差猎？”林轩脸色一沉的开口了。“哼，小姐结婴当然不会有问题，我只是说，没有你想象的那么快而已，必须先将修罗神血炼化，你以为融合是那么容易吗？”
"What? Didn't you say that obtaining the Asura's divine blood would ensure Mo'er's successful condensation?" Lin Xuan frowned and spoke sternly.
“ hū 。” lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， huā diǎn shí jiān bù suàn wèn tí ， zhǐ yào yuè ér néng gòu shùn lì níng jié yuán yīng jiù yī qiè wàn shì dà jí 。！
“呼。”林轩松了口气，花点时间不算问题，只要月儿能够顺利凝结元婴就一切万事大吉。！
"Humph, Miss Moer will have no problem with her condensation. I only meant it won't happen as quickly as you think," Xiao Tao said. "You must first refine the Asura's divine blood; do you really think merging is that easy?"
Lin Xuan sighed in relief. It wasn't a big deal to take some time, as long as Mo'er could successfully condense her true essence.
While the first layer of Through Treasure Art could be roughly mastered by an intermediate-stage元婴, Lin Xuan was clearly not using the right method. What should he do then? He pondered with some frustration.
"Never mind, let's just meditate for now and rest a bit."
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan took out several spirit herbs and swallowed them. He then adjusted his breathing to recover his mana. After a day and night, the lost true essence was replenished, and he resumed studying the Through Treasure Art.
This study took him many days. Lin Xuan practiced both magic arts and cultivation techniques, so his knowledge was broad indeed; even compared to a Separation-stage cultivator, he might not be far behind.
However, after half a day of trying every known secret technique, he still saw no results. Finally, out of desperation, he tried everything from cutting with knives and burning with fire to the most basic methods. The shield remained as stubborn as a rock.
Lin Xuan felt like there was a treasure mountain in front of him but no key to enter it. His frustration was palpable.
Of course, he wouldn't give up. After all, his temperament far surpassed that of ordinary people; back when he first entered the path of cultivation and was looked down upon by elders and bullied by fellow disciples, he still focused on hard practice. Now standing at the peak of the mortal world, he must find a way to use this treasure.
Sighing, Lin Xuan continued to frown in thought.
Could he have to go through the process of blood recognition? Lin Xuan shook his head; that idea seemed absurd and too cliché. However, since he had exhausted all other methods, he decided to try it.
He took out a sound transmission talisman and withdrew the outer禁制 from the valley. A gentle step approached after only a short while.
Lin Xuan looked up and saw a fair-skinned young woman bowing before him: "Mistress Lu Ying'er greets Master. I wonder what you have summoned me for."
As the head of the Lu Xuan Pavilion, Lu Ying'er had seen many things but still couldn't help feeling surprised by the piles of colorful crystal stones, estimated to be over seven million in total value.
There were also various spirit pills and treasures; any one of those would make an intermediate-stage元婴 cultivator envious. What was Master planning?
Though puzzled, Lu Ying'er didn't speak out. As a subordinate, she shouldn't ask questions unless asked. If Master wanted her to know something, he would explain it himself.
Lin Xuan's expression turned pleased: "No need for formalities, Ying'er. I summoned you here because the pavilion needs to expand and will require substantial resources."
Lu Ying'er hesitated but shook her head vigorously: "Master, this is inappropriate. The Lu Xuan Pavilion has accumulated some wealth in its dominance of Youzhou; how can I accept your gifts?"
"Stupid girl, just take it," Lin Xuan said with a smile. "What's the harm? I know the pavilion has some savings, but Yunzhou isn't as barbaric as Youzhou. Besides, I'm rich enough to spare a few coins."
Lu Ying'er was amused and giggled softly, but still shook her head.
Lin Xuan frowned, his expression turning gloomy: "Ying'er, you've grown too independent; even my words are no longer obeyed."
"No, Mistress Lu is not that meaning," Lu Ying'er hurriedly knelt down.
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly. This girl was stubborn; he should have just spoken clearly.
"Since you're loyal to me, don't argue with me. Just accept the crystal stones and treasures." "Yes!"
Lu Ying'er finally nodded obediently. She knew Master's intentions were good and felt grateful: "Thank you for your generosity, Mistress Lu will not disappoint you."
She then took out several storage bags and sorted the treasures into them.
"Master, is there anything else?" "No, I'll be sequestered in meditation for the next six months. Don't disturb me unless it's something urgent." Lin Xuan closed his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Yes, Mistress Lu understands," she bowed and left the stone room, transforming into a streak of light that flew out of the valley.
The stone palace was quiet again.
With all the treasures accounted for, the next step naturally involved healing and recuperation. Originally, he had planned to take a year or so, but with the Primordial Return Pill, it should only take about twenty days to replenish his life essence.
Of course, these twenty days would require constant meditation; it was akin to closing oneself in a death-and-life gate, where even the slightest distraction could lead to failure. Lin Xuan believed there wouldn't be any external threats during this time but worried that Mo'er's condensation might need his attention.
After much thought, he decided to check on the little girl first. Raising his clothes, Lin Xuan walked out of the stone room towards her practice chamber.
There were no禁制 outside the room where Mo'er practiced. Lin Xuan pushed open the door and stepped inside.
Red light shone brightly, and an astonishing amount of life force rushed out. This energy was different from what he had experienced before; it seemed almost alive.
A loud thud echoed in his ears as if hit by a hammer. Lin Xuan flew back like a meteor and crashed into the stone wall behind him. Pieces of rock fell to the ground, and Lin Xuan emerged, looking bewildered: "What's going on?"
Lin Xuan stood up, slowly walking forward. Entering the stone room again, he was prepared for something similar but underestimated the power of the life force. The result was still the same; he was thrown back out.
Over several attempts, Lin Xuan found himself repeatedly flung out with no success. He had endured quite a bit of hardship, though as an advanced-stage元婴 cultivator, if he really pushed hard, he might have managed to enter eventually.
But Lin Xuan didn't understand the situation and was too cautious to force his way in; any mistake could result in Mo'er's failure. What should he do?
Just when he was hesitating, a clear but disdainful voice rang out: "What pig are you again?"
"Xiao Tao?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. When had she woken up? It wasn't surprising that Xiao Tao called him 'pig' after Mo'er's spirit recognition; no one else used such a term.
"How is Mo'er, and is her condensation going smoothly?" Lin Xuan didn't have the heart to argue with her. He only cared if everything was proceeding well for Mo'er.
"Hmph, condensation? You dream," Xiao Tao said disdainfully. "You don't understand; stop talking nonsense."
"What? Didn't you say that obtaining the Asura's divine blood would ensure Mo'er's successful condensation?" Lin Xuan frowned and spoke sternly.
"Humph, Miss Moer will have no problem with her condensation. I only meant it won't happen as quickly as you think," Xiao Tao said. "You must first refine the Asura's divine blood; do you really think merging is that easy?"
Lin Xuan sighed in relief. It wasn't a big deal to take some time, as long as Mo'er could successfully condense her true essence.
