“多谢前辈大恩大德，事情是这样的，晚辈有一独生爱子尹雄质不错，乃是异灵根的拥有者，可正因为如此，我与拙荆平时都太宠他了，导致那孩子心高气傲，修炼功法一味贪图迅速，结果走火入魔，百脉俱废，．”听林轩这么说，独孤谋脸上露出大喜过望之色，忙接过小妹的话头，神色恭敬的开口。
"Many thanks for your great kindness, sir. The matter is as follows: my late son Yin Xiong has a unique spirit root and thus possesses extraordinary abilities. However, due to our overindulgence, he became arrogant and sought quick progress in his cultivation, leading him down the path of calamity and causing all his vital energy to be exhausted," Lin Xuan said.
tā shēn hòu de hóng yī měi fù ， zuǐ shàng suī bù gǎn luàn shuō ， dàn yǎn zhōng yě mǎn shì xī yì zhī sè bì jìng duì fāng zhì shǎo shì yuán yīng hòu qī dà xiū xiān zhě ， shuō bù dìng hái jìn jiē dào le lí hé ， ruò yuàn yì chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， nà ài zi de shāng gēn běn jiù bù suàn shén me 。
他身后的红衣美妇，嘴上虽不敢乱说，但眼中也满是希翼之色毕竟对方至少是元婴后期大修仙者，说不定还进阶到了离合，若愿意出手相助，那爱子的伤根本就不算什么。
Upon hearing this, Solitary Plots' face lit up with joy. He quickly took over from his sister, speaking respectfully.
“ liàn gōng zǒu huǒ ， nà nǐ men lái zhè lǐ shì wèi le liè shā yāo shòu ， wèi nà xiǎo zi liàn zhì zhì shāng de líng dān le ？” lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， wú jīng wú xǐ de kāi kǒu 。
“练功走火，那你们来这里是为了猎杀妖兽，为那小子炼制治伤的灵丹了？”林轩眉头一皱，无惊无喜的开口。
Behind him stood a red-robed beauty who, though she didn't dare speak freely, her eyes were filled with hope. After all, the other party was at least an advanced cultivator of the Inner Core stage, possibly even beyond it. If they agreed to help, their son's injuries wouldn't be much of an issue.
“ qián bèi mù guāng rú jù ， wǒ fū qī chá yuè le xǔ duō diǎn jí ， què shí zhǐ yǒu xuě yuán shòu de yāo dān néng gòu zhì liáo zhuó ér de shāng shì ， kě wǒ men mǎi de qíng bào què shì bái shā bāng pài rén jiǎ zào ， rú guǒ zài méi yǒu líng dān tūn fú ， quǎn zi kě jiù bù jǐn jǐn shì tān huàn le ， shuō bù dìng hái huì hún guī dì fǔ 。”
“前辈目光如炬，我夫妻查阅了许多典籍，确实只有雪缘兽的妖丹能够治疗卓儿的伤势，可我们买的情报却是白鲨帮派人假造，如果再没有灵丹吞服，犬子可就不仅仅是瘫痪了，说不定还会魂归地府。”
"Overexertion during cultivation—so you came here to hunt for demon beasts and prepare medicinal pills for your son’s recovery?" Lin Xuan frowned but remained unperturbed as he spoke.
dú gū móu shuō dào cǐ chù ， yǎn zhōng xiān shì lèi guāng shǎn guò ， suí hòu yòu biàn dé yǎo yá qiè chǐ qǐ lái le ， nà kě wù de jiǎ pàng zi ， jiàn lì wàng yì ， zhè cì huí qù yí dìng yào jiāng tā chōu hún liàn pò cái kě yǐ “p xiāng ， xuě yuán shòu shì sān jiē shuǐ shǔ xìng yāo zú ， zhè me shuō ， nǐ men ér zi yīng gāi shì zhù jī qī xiū xiān zhě ， jì rán yōng yǒu yì líng gēn ， nà me xiū liàn de duō bàn yě shì bīng shǔ xìng gōng fǎ 。”
独孤谋说到此处，眼中先是泪光闪过，随后又变得咬牙切齿起来了，那可恶的贾胖子，见利忘义，这次回去一定要将他抽魂炼魄才可以“p乡，雪缘兽是三阶水属性妖族，这么说，你们儿子应该是筑基期修仙者，既然拥有异灵根，那么修炼的多半也是冰属性功法。”
"Yes, sir. We have thoroughly researched many ancient texts, and indeed only the demon heart of the Snowy Deer Beast can heal Zhuo'er's injuries. However, the intelligence we bought was forged by the White Shark Gang, so if we don't consume any medicinal pills, our son will not just be paralyzed; he might even die," Solitary Plots said, his eyes first filled with tears before turning into a bitter expression.
“ qián bèi mù guāng rú jù 。”
“前辈目光如炬。”
"That despicable fatty Jia, for being so foolish. But at least we achieved our goal in the end," one of the low-ranking cultivators said, relieved that their efforts had paid off.
tīng le lín xuān de yán yǔ ， dú gū móu yī dāi ， suí hòu liǎn shàng lù chū yòu shì jīng xǐ yòu shì pèi fú de biǎo qíng lái ， zì jǐ bù guò shuō le yī jù xuě yuán shòu de yāo dān ， lín xuān jiù jiāng ài zi de jìng jiè yǔ xiū liàn de gōng fǎ quán bù cāi qīng chǔ ， qí jiàn yì zhī qiáng ， jiǎn zhí lìng rén nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng 。
听了林轩的言语，独孤谋一呆，随后脸上露出又是惊喜又是佩服的表情来，自己不过说了一句雪缘兽的妖丹，林轩就将爱子的境界与修炼的功法全部猜清楚，其见议之强，简直令人难以想象。
"Master, Sister, you once knew this Lin senior? Is he truly an ancient cultivator from beyond the void?" The red-robed beauty asked, her face lighting up as she turned to her husband. Her son's condition was improving, and she was in high spirits.
“ hái wàng qián bèi cí bēi ， jiù jiù wǒ nà zhí ér 。” dú gū mèng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cǐ nǚ yě zài yī páng dǎ qǐ le biān gǔ 。
“还望前辈慈悲，救救我那侄儿。”独孤梦的声音传入耳朵，此女也在一旁打起了边鼓。
"Yes, over a hundred years ago, Lin senior saved my sister and me once. At that time, he was only at the middle stage of condensing essence," Solitary Plots replied.
“ hēng ， bù zhī tiān gāo dì hòu ， dǎo zhì zǒu huǒ ， zhè zhǒng rén ， sǐ le yě shì jiù yóu zì qǔ yī yī yī ”
“哼，不知天高地厚，导致走火，这种人，死了也是咎由自取一一一”
"How can someone be at the middle stage of condensing essence? That's impossible!" his wife exclaimed.
lín xuān huà yīn hé luò ， xiōng mèi liǎ yǐ shì mù dèng kǒu dāi ， nà hóng yī měi fù gèng shì liǎn sè fā bái 。
林轩话音禾落，兄妹俩已是目瞪口呆，那红衣美妇更是脸色发白。
"There’s nothing strange about it. Thinking back, when we first met Lin senior, he must have concealed his cultivation level. Whether or not he is an ancient cultivator from beyond the void, I’m unsure," Solitary Plots shook his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“ qián bèi ， quǎn zi shào bù gēng shì ， hái wàng nín fā fā cí bēi 。”
“前辈，犬子少不更事，还望您发发慈悲。”
"Even you are uncertain?"
“ shì a ， qián bèi ， nín rú guǒ yuàn yì jiù jiù zhuó ér ， bù lùn yǒu shén me fēn fù ， wǒ xiōng mèi liǎ dōu jué bú huì tuī tuō ， jí biàn fù tāng dǎo huǒ ……” gōng zhuāng shào nǚ liǎn sè huáng jí de shuō 。
“是啊，前辈，您如果愿意救救卓儿，不论有什么吩咐，我兄妹俩都绝不会推托，即便赴汤蹈火……”宫装少女脸色惶急的说。
"Yes." Solitary Plots sighed and began to analyze: "If it were just an ordinary Inner Core late-stage cultivator, I would be confident enough to discern him. But this Lin senior has no trace of spiritual pressure, appearing like an ordinary mortal. This is unusual; either he’s a legendary ancient cultivator from beyond the void or his cultivation method is unique. He conjured flying knives without moving his hands and killed White Shark Gang cultivators effortlessly. Such power far surpasses that of any ordinary great cultivator. Whether or not he is truly an ancient cultivator, to us, it remains unattainable."
zhì yú nà hóng yī měi fù ， yīn wèi yǔ lín xuān bù shú ， bù gǎn hú luàn duō shuō ， què pēng de yī shēng guì xià lái le ， lián lián kē tóu ， hái suàn qīng xiù de qiào liǎn shàng mǎn shì qī chǔ zhī sè 。
至于那红衣美妇，因为与林轩不熟，不敢胡乱多说，却嘭的一声跪下来了，连连磕头，还算清秀的俏脸上满是凄楚之色。
"Master speaks wisely. Regardless of Lin senior’s cultivation level, we owe him a great debt. It's too bad our cultivation levels are so low; there will never be the chance to repay his kindness in this lifetime," the red-robed beauty nodded, her face filled with gratitude.
qí yú dī jiē xiū xiān zhě ， jiàn shī fù shī mǔ zhè fù biǎo qíng ， gèng jiā bù zhī suǒ zhū ， yě zhǐ hǎo fēn fēn guì xià lái le 。
其余低阶修仙者，见师父师母这副表情，更加不知所株，也只好纷纷跪下来了。
"Senior Sister, is it really as impressive as you say? Yet when discussing treating my brother Solitary, he seemed unconcerned. He doesn’t seem to have any fondness for cultivators of exceptional talent. Could it be that his own spirit root is poor and thus envious of those with better talents," a soft voice said, belonging to a yellow-robed girl who appeared no older than fifteen.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， rú guǒ shì sù bù xiāng shí de xiū shì ， tā kěn dìng shuǎi shǒu jiù zǒu ， shēng pà zuì tǎo yàn nà xiē yīn wèi zī zhì bù cuò ， jiù bù zhī tiān gāo dì hòu de jiā huo 。
林轩眉头一皱，如果是素不相识的修士，他肯定甩手就走，生怕最讨厌那些因为资质不错，就不知天高地厚的家伙。
Three condensation stage cultivators present were taken aback by her words. Solitary Plots waved his hand, and a light beam flew out, forming an invisible shield over their heads.
kě bǎi yú nián jiān ， yǔ zhè dú gū shì xiōng mèi jiàn le liǎng miàn ， xiāng hù jiān yě suàn yǒu yuán ， zhè yàng bù xiàng zǒng yǒu diǎn yī yī yī yī bà le ， fǎn zhèng duì zì jǐ lái shuō ， bù guò shì jǔ shǒu zhī láo ér yǐ 。
可百余年间，与这独孤氏兄妹见了两面，相互间也算有缘，这样不巷总有点一一一一罢了，反正对自己来说，不过是举手之劳而已。
"Red, you are too bold! Not only has Lin senior repeatedly helped us with great kindness, but we have no way to repay him. Yet here you are, discussing the merits or demerits of our benefactor," Solitary Plots turned his head, his eyes filled with anger.
kě lián tiān xià fù mǔ xīn ， suī rán kàn guàn nà xiǎo zi ， yě bāng tā yī cì 。
可怜天下父母心，虽然看惯那小子，也帮他一次。
"Sister..." The yellow-robed girl, who was usually favored by her master, burst into tears and pouted, seeking comfort from her beloved sister-in-law.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān shēn shǒu yī pāi ， bái guāng yī shǎn ， yī xiǎo qiǎo de yù píng fēi lüè chū lái ， bèi yī céng líng guāng bāo guǒ ， fēi dào le dú gū móu miàn qián 。
念及至此，林轩伸手一拍，白光一闪，一小巧的玉瓶飞掠出来，被一层灵光包裹，飞到了独孤谋面前。
"Master is right. Even if Lin senior has no connection to us, a cultivator of such high rank cannot be discussed by someone as insignificant as a late-stage foundation consolidation cultivator. He’s too dangerous; his little finger alone could send you to your death. Red, it seems we have been overindulgent and almost caused a disaster. You will face the wall for ten years without stepping out of Sky Mirror Island," to her surprise, the beauty was not lenient but stern as she turned to Lin Xuan's direction.
“ zhè lǐ miàn yǒu sān lì yòng yāo shòu cái liào liàn zhì de líng dān ， zhì liáo lìng láng de shāng shì méi yǒu wèn tí ， bù guò lín mǒu zhǐ huì bāng zhè yī cì ， ràng tā hǎo zì wéi zhī ……” lín xuān lěng lěng de shuō 。
“这里面有三粒用妖兽材料炼制的灵丹，治疗令郎的伤势没有问题，不过林某只会帮这一次，让他好自为之……”林轩冷冷的说。
The yellow-robed girl was taken aback before becoming obedient. Though she could be impulsive, she wasn't stupid; this time, Master and Sister were truly angry.
“ shì ， duō xiè qián bèi dà ēn dà dé ， yǐ hòu ruò yǒu shén me fēn fù ， yú fū fù yí dìng fù tāng dǎo huǒ 。” dú gū móu de liǎn shàng lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng zhī sè ， xiǎo xīn yì yì de jiāng yù píng jiē guò ， gōng gōng jìng jìng de chōng lín xuān shēn shī yī lǐ de shuō 。
“是，多谢前辈大恩大德，以后若有什么吩咐，愚夫妇一定赴汤蹈火。”独孤谋的脸上露出大喜过望之色，小心翼翼的将玉瓶接过，恭恭敬敬的冲林轩深施一礼的说。
Other low-ranking cultivators stood in silence, intimidated by their sister-in-law’s punishment.
lín xuān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， suí hòu huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， pò kōng ér zǒu 。
林轩摆了摆手，随后化为一道惊虹，破空而走。
After reprimanding his disciples, Solitary Plots turned to see his sister with a strange expression on her face, looking at Lin Xuan's direction. Solitary Plots was taken aback before sighing softly.
yǐ tā de dùn sù ， zì rán jīng shì hài sú ， suī rán méi yǒu quán lì shī zhǎn ， dàn luò zài nà xiē dī jià xiū shì yǎn lǐ ， jiǎn zhí néng gòu pì měi shùn yí ， qián yī kè hái cún shēn cè ， xià yī kè ， què xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng le 。
以他的遁速，自然惊世骇俗，虽然没有全力施展，但落在那些低价修士眼里，简直能够媲美瞬移，前一刻还存身侧，下一刻，却消失得无影无踪了。
Brothers and sisters who had lived together for so long; he couldn't miss his sister’s intentions. Beauty loves heroes; twice saved by the same person, it seemed his little sister had already developed feelings for that Lin senior.
zài chǎng xiū shì liǎn shàng wú bù lù chū jīng xǐ zhī sè ， suī rán - shòu nà jiǎ pàng zi zhī yú ， dàn zuì hòu hái shì dá dào le mù dì 。
在场修士脸上无不露出惊喜之色，虽然-受那贾胖子之愚，但最后还是达到了目的。
Unfortunately, such love would be in vain due to their vastly different statuses. While his sister was beautiful, she wasn’t breathtakingly stunning enough to be considered a concubine or even a secondary wife.
“ fū jūn ， nǐ yǔ xiǎo mèi céng yǔ zhè wèi lín qián bèi xiāng shí ， tā zhēn shì chuán shuō zhōng de lí hé xiū shì ？” ài zi shāng shì fù yuán yǒu wàng ， hóng yī měi fù xīn qíng jí hǎo ， zhuǎn guò zhēn shǒu ， biǎo qíng hào qí de dào 。
“夫君，你与小妹曾与这位林前辈相识，他真是传说中的离合修士？”爱子伤势复原有望，红衣美妇心情极好，转过臻首，表情好奇的道。
If this Lin senior wanted a concubine, countless beautiful female cultivators would vie for the honor.
“ ń ， bǎi yú nián qián ， lín qián bèi jiù céng jiù guò wǒ yǔ xiǎo mèi yī cì ， nà shí hòu ， tā bù guò níng dān zhōng qī ……
“嗯，百余年前，林前辈就曾救过我与小妹一次，那时候，他不过凝丹中期……
"Little Sister, let's go back," Solitary Plots said, not revealing his sister’s feelings. He believed that over time, she would come to her senses.
“ níng dān zhōng qī ， zhè zěn me kě néng ？”
“凝丹中期，这怎么可能？”
The path of immortals was long; perhaps one day, his little sister would realize this unattainable dream.
“ méi shén me hào qí guài de ， xiàn zài xiǎng xiǎng ， dāng chū yǔ lín qián bèi dì yī cì jiàn miàn ， tā yí dìng shì yǐn cáng le xiū wèi ， zhì yú tā shì bú shì chuán shuō zhōng de lí hé qī lǎo guài wù ， wǒ yě bù qīng chǔ 。” dú gū móu yáo le yáo tóu ， yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu mí máng zhī guāng shǎn guò 。
“没什么好奇怪的，现在想想，当初与林前辈第一次见面，他一定是隐藏了修为，至于他是不是传说中的离合期老怪物，我也不清楚。”独孤谋摇了摇头，眼中隐隐有迷茫之光闪过。
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had already flown far away from here, unaware that a girl he barely knew had developed feelings for him or that the young foundation consolidation cultivator named Red had been punished to face the wall for ten years due to her careless words.
“ fū jūn yě bù qīng chǔ ？”
“夫君也不清楚？”
Lin Xuan was heading towards the Sky Mirror Pavilion. He wanted to learn more about the details of the great battle from over a hundred years ago and, since he happened to be near his sister's place, decided to visit her.
“ shì de 。” dú gū móu wēi wēi tàn xī ， zuǐ chún wēi qǐ ， shuō chū zì jǐ de fēn xī ：“ rú guǒ shì pǔ tōng de yuán yīng hòu qī xiū xiān zhě ， wèi fū zì xìn yě néng gòu fēn biàn dé chū ， dàn zhè wèi lín qián bèi shēn shàng què yī sī líng yā yě wú ， kàn shàng qù jiù gēn pǔ tōng de fán rén chà zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng kě jiù bù tóng xún cháng le ， yào me shì chuán shuō zhōng lí hé qī lǎo guài wù jiǎ shī nǔ L8 xiū xíng de gōng fǎ yǒu dú dào zhī chù ， kě nǐ gāng cái kàn tā lián shǒu dōu bù dòng ， jiù píng kōng níng jù fēi dāo miè shā le bái shā bāng de xiū xiān zhě ， rú cǐ shén tōng ， jué fēi pǔ tōng de dà xiū shì kě bǐ ， suǒ yǐ bù guǎn tā shì bú shì chuán shuō zhōng de lí hé qī ， duì wǒ děng lái shuō ， dōu yáo bù kě jí 。”
“是的。”独孤谋微微叹息，嘴唇微启，说出自己的分析：“如果是普通的元婴后期修仙者，为夫自信也能够分辨得出，但这位林前辈身上却一丝灵压也无，看上去就跟普通的凡人差这种情况可就不同寻常了，要么是传说中离合期老怪物甲尸弩L8修行的功法有独到之处，可你刚才看他连手都不动，就凭空凝聚飞刀灭杀了白鲨帮的修仙者，如此神通，绝非普通的大修士可比，所以不管他是不是传说中的离合期，对我等来说，都遥不可及。”
With the upcoming void crossing, it was time to prepare for it.
“ fū jūn yán zhī yǒu lǐ ， bù guǎn zhè wèi lín qián bèi jìng jiè rú hé ， duì wǒ děng dōu shì yǒu dà ēn ， kě xī nǐ wǒ xiū wèi tài ruò ， jīn shēng jīn shì ， yě méi yǒu jī huì bào dào le 。” hóng yī měi fù diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì gǎn jī zhī sè de kāi kǒu sháo “ shī mǔ ， zhè wèi lín qián bèi zhēn yǒu nǐ men shuō de nà yàng liǎo bù qǐ me ， kě tán dào wèi dú gū shī xiōng zhì bìng de shí hòu ， wèi shén me tā què yī liǎn de bù yǐ wéi rán zhī sè ， kàn biǎo qíng ， sì hū duì tiān fù yōu yì de xiū shì yì diǎn hǎo gǎn yě wú ， nán dào zhè wèi qián bèi běn shēn de líng gēn hěn chà me ， suǒ yǐ cái jí dù tiān fù hǎo zhě 。” yī jiāo róu de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shuō huà de shì yī míng huáng yī shào nǚ ， kàn shàng qù bù guò shí wǔ 、 liù suì nián jì ， dàn yě dá dào le zhù jī qī 。
“夫君言之有理，不管这位林前辈境界如何，对我等都是有大恩，可惜你我修为太弱，今生今世，也没有机会报道了。”红衣美妇点了点头，脸上满是感激之色的开口勺“师母，这位林前辈真有你们说的那样了不起么，可谈到为独孤师兄治病的时候，为什么他却一脸的不以为然之色，看表情，似乎对天赋优异的修士一点好感也无，难道这位前辈本身的灵根很差么，所以才嫉妒天赋好者。”一娇柔的声音传入耳朵，说话的是一名黄衣少女，看上去不过十五、六岁年纪，但也达到了筑基期。
However, Lin Xuan knew nothing else except that he would face heavenly tribulation when ascending to the spirit realm.
sān míng níng dān qī xiū shì tīng le cǐ yán ， què - wú bù liǎn sè dà biàn ， dú gū móu yòu shǒu yī fú ， yī dào guāng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， suí hòu cóng tóu dǐng yī luò ， jìng xíng chéng yī gé yīn de hù zhào lái le 。
三名凝丹期修士听了此言，却-无不脸色大变，独孤谋右手一拂，一道光霞飞掠而出，随后从头顶一落，竞形成一隔音的护罩来了。
There were few records in ancient texts about the realm of beyond the void, and even if there were, they were sparse and not detailed enough.
“ hóng ér ， tài dà dǎn le ， qiě bù shuō lín qián bèi jǐ cì sān fān chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， duì wǒ děng yǒu dà ēn dà dé ， wǒ děng wú yǐ huí bào yě jiù suàn le ，$$; jū rán hái yì lùn qǐ ēn rén de shì fēi lái le 。” dú gū móu zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， shuāng yǎn zhōng mǎn shì nù sè 。
“红儿，太大胆了，且不说林前辈几次三番出手相助，对我等有大恩大德，我等无以回报也就算了，$$;居然还议论起恩人的是非来了。”独孤谋转过头颅，双眼中满是怒色。
Exploring on his own was time-consuming, so seeking advice from others was undoubtedly one of the most efficient ways.
“ shī mǔ ……” nà huáng yī shào nǚ píng shí hěn shì dé chǒng ， bèi shī fù háo bù liú qíng dí dàng zhe tóng mén xùn chì ， dùn shí yǎn jīng yī hóng ， xiàng píng shí zuì téng ài tā de shī mǔ sā qǐ jiāo lái le 。
“师母……”那黄衣少女平时很是得宠，被师傅毫不留情的当着同门训斥，顿时眼睛一红，像平时最疼爱她的师母撒起娇来了。
Other ancient cultivators he knew weren't close to him. Even though the Five-Color Fairy had little connection with him, Dreaming Sweetness was the closest, making her a top priority for Lin Xuan.
“$$; shī fù shuō dé méi cuò ， jiù suàn lín qián bèi yǔ wǒ děng sù wú guā gé ， tā nà zhǒng děng jí de xiū xiān zhě yòu qǐ shì $$; yī xiǎo xiǎo de zhù jī qī xiū shì kě yǐ yì lùn de ， jiǎn zhí bù zhī sǐ huó ， duì fāng yí gè xiǎo zhǐ tou jiù néng ràng $$; hún fēi pò sàn diào de ， hóng ér ， kàn lái shì wǒ men píng shí tài chǒng $$; le ， jī hū niàng chéng dà huò ， zhè cì huí qù yǐ hòu ，$$; gěi wǒ miàn bì sī guò ， méi yǒu shí nián ， bù xǔ tà chū tiān jìng dǎo yī bù 。” chū hū shào nǚ de yù liào ， měi fù zhè cì bù jǐn méi yǒu liú lù chū fēn háo piān tǎn zhī yì ， fǎn ér shēng sè jù lì ， yī biān xùn chì hái yī biān zhuǎn guò zhēn jì ， wàng xiàng lín xuān lí kāi de fāng xiàng ， yǎn dǐ shēn chù ， dān xīn zhī sè háo bù yǎn shì de liú chū 。
“$$;师父说得没错，就算林前辈与我等素无瓜葛，他那种等级的修仙者又岂是$$;一小小的筑基期修士可以议论的，简直不知死活，对方一个小指头就能让$$;魂飞魄散掉的，红儿，看来是我们平时太宠$$;了，几乎酿成大祸，这次回去以后，$$;给我面壁思过，没有十年，不许踏出天镜岛一步。”出乎少女的预料，美妇这次不仅没有流露出分毫偏袒之意，反而声色俱厉，一边训斥还一边转过臻荠，望向林轩离开的方向，眼底深处，担心之色毫不掩饰的流出。
With his thoughts settled, Lin Xuan's body emitted green light, and his speed increased by another third as he continued on his journey towards the horizon.
"Many thanks for your great kindness, sir. The matter is as follows: my late son Yin Xiong has a unique spirit root and thus possesses extraordinary abilities. However, due to our overindulgence, he became arrogant and sought quick progress in his cultivation, leading him down the path of calamity and causing all his vital energy to be exhausted," Lin Xuan said.
Upon hearing this, Solitary Plots' face lit up with joy. He quickly took over from his sister, speaking respectfully.
Behind him stood a red-robed beauty who, though she didn't dare speak freely, her eyes were filled with hope. After all, the other party was at least an advanced cultivator of the Inner Core stage, possibly even beyond it. If they agreed to help, their son's injuries wouldn't be much of an issue.
"Overexertion during cultivation—so you came here to hunt for demon beasts and prepare medicinal pills for your son’s recovery?" Lin Xuan frowned but remained unperturbed as he spoke.
"Yes, sir. We have thoroughly researched many ancient texts, and indeed only the demon heart of the Snowy Deer Beast can heal Zhuo'er's injuries. However, the intelligence we bought was forged by the White Shark Gang, so if we don't consume any medicinal pills, our son will not just be paralyzed; he might even die," Solitary Plots said, his eyes first filled with tears before turning into a bitter expression.
"That despicable fatty Jia, for being so foolish. But at least we achieved our goal in the end," one of the low-ranking cultivators said, relieved that their efforts had paid off.
"Master, Sister, you once knew this Lin senior? Is he truly an ancient cultivator from beyond the void?" The red-robed beauty asked, her face lighting up as she turned to her husband. Her son's condition was improving, and she was in high spirits.
"Yes, over a hundred years ago, Lin senior saved my sister and me once. At that time, he was only at the middle stage of condensing essence," Solitary Plots replied.
"How can someone be at the middle stage of condensing essence? That's impossible!" his wife exclaimed.
"There’s nothing strange about it. Thinking back, when we first met Lin senior, he must have concealed his cultivation level. Whether or not he is an ancient cultivator from beyond the void, I’m unsure," Solitary Plots shook his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Even you are uncertain?"
"Yes." Solitary Plots sighed and began to analyze: "If it were just an ordinary Inner Core late-stage cultivator, I would be confident enough to discern him. But this Lin senior has no trace of spiritual pressure, appearing like an ordinary mortal. This is unusual; either he’s a legendary ancient cultivator from beyond the void or his cultivation method is unique. He conjured flying knives without moving his hands and killed White Shark Gang cultivators effortlessly. Such power far surpasses that of any ordinary great cultivator. Whether or not he is truly an ancient cultivator, to us, it remains unattainable."
"Master speaks wisely. Regardless of Lin senior’s cultivation level, we owe him a great debt. It's too bad our cultivation levels are so low; there will never be the chance to repay his kindness in this lifetime," the red-robed beauty nodded, her face filled with gratitude.
"Senior Sister, is it really as impressive as you say? Yet when discussing treating my brother Solitary, he seemed unconcerned. He doesn’t seem to have any fondness for cultivators of exceptional talent. Could it be that his own spirit root is poor and thus envious of those with better talents," a soft voice said, belonging to a yellow-robed girl who appeared no older than fifteen.
Three condensation stage cultivators present were taken aback by her words. Solitary Plots waved his hand, and a light beam flew out, forming an invisible shield over their heads.
"Red, you are too bold! Not only has Lin senior repeatedly helped us with great kindness, but we have no way to repay him. Yet here you are, discussing the merits or demerits of our benefactor," Solitary Plots turned his head, his eyes filled with anger.
"Sister..." The yellow-robed girl, who was usually favored by her master, burst into tears and pouted, seeking comfort from her beloved sister-in-law.
"Master is right. Even if Lin senior has no connection to us, a cultivator of such high rank cannot be discussed by someone as insignificant as a late-stage foundation consolidation cultivator. He’s too dangerous; his little finger alone could send you to your death. Red, it seems we have been overindulgent and almost caused a disaster. You will face the wall for ten years without stepping out of Sky Mirror Island," to her surprise, the beauty was not lenient but stern as she turned to Lin Xuan's direction.
The yellow-robed girl was taken aback before becoming obedient. Though she could be impulsive, she wasn't stupid; this time, Master and Sister were truly angry.
Other low-ranking cultivators stood in silence, intimidated by their sister-in-law’s punishment.
After reprimanding his disciples, Solitary Plots turned to see his sister with a strange expression on her face, looking at Lin Xuan's direction. Solitary Plots was taken aback before sighing softly.
Brothers and sisters who had lived together for so long; he couldn't miss his sister’s intentions. Beauty loves heroes; twice saved by the same person, it seemed his little sister had already developed feelings for that Lin senior.
Unfortunately, such love would be in vain due to their vastly different statuses. While his sister was beautiful, she wasn’t breathtakingly stunning enough to be considered a concubine or even a secondary wife.
If this Lin senior wanted a concubine, countless beautiful female cultivators would vie for the honor.
"Little Sister, let's go back," Solitary Plots said, not revealing his sister’s feelings. He believed that over time, she would come to her senses.
The path of immortals was long; perhaps one day, his little sister would realize this unattainable dream.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had already flown far away from here, unaware that a girl he barely knew had developed feelings for him or that the young foundation consolidation cultivator named Red had been punished to face the wall for ten years due to her careless words.
Lin Xuan was heading towards the Sky Mirror Pavilion. He wanted to learn more about the details of the great battle from over a hundred years ago and, since he happened to be near his sister's place, decided to visit her.
With the upcoming void crossing, it was time to prepare for it.
However, Lin Xuan knew nothing else except that he would face heavenly tribulation when ascending to the spirit realm.
There were few records in ancient texts about the realm of beyond the void, and even if there were, they were sparse and not detailed enough.
Exploring on his own was time-consuming, so seeking advice from others was undoubtedly one of the most efficient ways.
Other ancient cultivators he knew weren't close to him. Even though the Five-Color Fairy had little connection with him, Dreaming Sweetness was the closest, making her a top priority for Lin Xuan.
With his thoughts settled, Lin Xuan's body emitted green light, and his speed increased by another third as he continued on his journey towards the horizon.
