xū yǐng de shēng yīn chōng mǎn le yòu huò ． tā suǒ shuō de yī qiè ． jiù suàn shì sàn xiān yě yào dòng xīn de 。
虚影的声音充满了诱惑．他所说的一切．就算是散仙也要动心的。
The ghostly voice was filled with temptation. Whatever he said, even a cultivator of scattered immortals would be moved by it.
“ wǒ xū yào fù chū shén me ？”
“我需要付出什么？”
"What do I need to pay?"
rán ér tián xiǎo jiàn què yǔ yì bān rén bù tóng ， cóng jí è shǎo zhǔ lún luò wèi yī wú yī wú kào de sàn xiū ， tā de xiān dào zhī lù ， jīng lì guò wú shù qū zhé ， qí jiān nán kùn kǔ ， jí biàn yǔ lín xuān xiāng bǐ ， yě bú huì xùn sè 。
然而田小剑却与一般人不同，从极恶少主沦落为一无依无靠的散修，他的仙道之路，经历过无数曲折，其艰难困苦，即便与林轩相比，也不会逊色。
However, Tian Xiaojian was different from the average person. Having fallen from being a ruthless young master to an aimless wandering cultivator, his path to becoming an immortal had been fraught with countless twists and turns. His hardships were no less than Lin Xuan's.
jiān kǔ de mó lì ， ràng tā de xīn zhì chéng shú wú bǐ ， jiù fǎng fú nà xiē huó liǎo wú shù suì yuè de lǎo hú lí 。
艰苦的磨砺，让他的心智成熟无比，就仿佛那些活了无数岁月的老狐狸。
The arduous trials had matured his mind like that of a fox who lived for many years. There are no free lunches in heaven.
tiān shàng shì bú huì diào xiàn bǐng dì 。
天上是不会掉馅饼地。
Even if what the other party said was true, one would still have to pay a price to obtain everything he mentioned. The benefits offered by the Demon Lord’s cultivation method and the treasures left behind were immense; how could it be given freely without any cost?
duì fāng suǒ shuō de huà ， qiě bù lùn shì zhēn shì jiǎ ， jiù suàn méi yǒu xū yán ， zì jǐ xiǎng yào dé dào zhè yī qiè ， yòu zěn me kě néng bù fù chū dài jià 。
对方所说的话，且不论是真是假，就算没有虚言，自己想要得到这一切，又怎么可能不付出代价。
The greater the benefit, the higher the price one must pay.
mó jiè zhī zhǔ de gōng fǎ ， hái yǒu tā suǒ yí liú xià lái de bǎo wù ， zhè yàng de hǎo chù zú kě yòng tiān dà lái xíng róng ， zěn me kě néng wú yuán wú gù de jiāng zì jǐ zá zhōng ？
魔界之主的功法，还有他所遗留下来的宝物，这样的好处足可用天大来形容，怎么可能无缘无故的将自己砸中？
When Tian Xiaojian asked his question, the ghostly figure first hesitated before smiling. Most people would eagerly ask how to obtain such benefits if they were in close proximity with him. But this young man remained calm and collected.
hǎo chù yuè dà ， fù chū de dài jià kěn dìng xiāng yìng de yě yuè dà 。
好处越大，付出的代价肯定相应的也越大。
Good, good, although his cultivation was a bit low, he possessed the True Demon Body, making him an outstanding candidate indeed.
tīng le tián xiǎo jiàn de wèn tí ， xū yǐng xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu què bù nù fǎn xǐ le qǐ lái 。
听了田小剑的问题，虚影先是一呆，随后却不怒反喜了起来。
After waiting for so long from ancient times until now, fate had finally placed an opportunity before him.
yì bān rén rú guǒ yǔ tā bí dì ér chù ， kěn dìng huì máng bù dié de xún wèn zěn yàng cái néng dé dào zhè xiē hǎo chù 。
一般人如果与他鼻地而处，肯定会忙不迭的询问怎样才能得到这些好处。
The ghostly figure was secretly pleased, but at that moment, their soul realm suddenly trembled violently.
kě zhè xiǎo zi ， jū rán hái néng lěng jìng zhì cǐ 。
可这小子，居然还能冷静至此。
Tian Xiaojian's face showed a hint of alertness. Without hesitation, he waved his robe, and several treasures flew out to hover in front of him, his nerves taut as a bowstring.
bù cuò ， bù cuò ， tā de xiū wèi suī rán dī le yī xiē ， dàn yōng yǒu zhēn mó zhī tǐ ， gèng nán dé de shì ， xīn xìng rú cǐ ， shí zài shì yí gè kě kān zǎo jiù zhī cái 。
不错，不错，他的修为虽然低了一些，但拥有真魔之体，更难得的是，心性如此，实在是一个可堪早就之才。
However, the ghostly figure remained indifferent. He turned his head slightly before speaking with some surprise: "Huh? Theprohibition left by the Nine Heavens Divine Maiden has been broken. It’s not like blood sacrifice techniques were used to break it. Only the Spirit Net Jade Talisman can be activated. Hmph, are those cheap bitches' treasures about to appear as well? But back then, the Nine Heavens Divine Maiden had her body and soul destroyed. Do you think a few lifeless treasures could turn the tide?"
cóng shàng gǔ shí qī děng dào xiàn zài ， jī yuán zhōng yú bǎi zài le zì jǐ de yǎn qián 。
从上古时期等到现在，机缘终于摆在了自己的眼前。
The ghostly figure's voice grew lower, but his face was filled with disdain.
xū yǐng xīn zhōng àn xǐ ， piān piān jiù zài cǐ kè ， tā men suǒ zài de hún niàn kōng jiān ， què tū rán jù liè de zhèn chàn le qǐ lái 。
虚影心中暗喜，偏偏就在此刻，他们所在的魂念空间，却突然剧烈的震颤了起来。
Lin Xuan did not know what happened in the soul realm. At this moment, he stared intently at the four treasures before him.
tián xiǎo jiàn liǎn shàng lù chū jǐng màn zhī sè ， èr huà bù shuō de yòu páo yī fú ， jǐ jiàn bǎo wù fēi lüè ér chū ， zài tā shēn qián pán xuán fēi wǔ ， shén jīng yě bēng jǐn dào jí chù 。
田小剑脸上露出警慢之色，二话不说的柚袍一拂，几件宝物飞掠而出，在他身前盘旋飞舞，神经也绷紧到极处。
Most of his attention seemed to be drawn there, but that was just an illusion. In reality, most of Lin Xuan's focus was on the Pavilion by the Terrace beside him, fearing a sudden attack from the other party. After all, who wouldn't drool over immortal treasures? Even with his deep-seated composure, he couldn’t help swallowing hard.
xū yǐng què shì ruò wú dǔ ， xiān shì cè guò tóu lú ， suí hòu jiù yǒu xiē jīng yà de kāi kǒu le ：“ yí jiǔ tiān xuán nǚ liú xià lái de jìn zhì jū rán bèi pò chú ， suǒ yòng de bù xiàng shì xuè jì zhī shù chú cǐ zhī wài ， néng gòu kāi qǐ de zhǐ yǒu líng luó yù fú ， hēng ， nà jiàn bì liú xià de jǐ jiàn bǎo wù yě yào chū shì le me ， bù guò dāng chū jiǔ tiān xuán nǚ kě shì xíng shén jù miè ， yǐ wéi píng jiè jǐ jiàn méi yǒu líng xìng de bǎo wù ， hái yǒu jī huì niǔ zhuǎn qián kūn me ？”
虚影却视若无睹，先是侧过头颅，随后就有些惊讶的开口了：“咦九天玄女留下来的禁制居然被破除，所用的不像是血祭之术除此之外，能够开启的只有灵罗玉符，哼，那贱婢留下的几件宝物也要出世了么，不过当初九天玄女可是形神俱灭，以为凭借几件没有灵性的宝物，还有机会扭转乾坤么？”
"Friend Daoist, what are you thinking? I have my own thoughts. But it's best if we don't harbor any ulterior motives. As they say, a man’s greed is like a snake that swallows an elephant. Even if we split these treasures evenly, the good fortune of obtaining them would be something earned over three lifetimes. Let us peacefully obtain the treasures and decide how to distribute them. What do you think?"
xū yǐng de shēng yīn yuè lái yuè dī ， dàn liǎn shàng què mǎn shì jī fěng de bù xiè zhī yì 。
虚影的声音越来越低，但脸上却满是讥讽的不屑之意。
The voice from the Pavilion by the Terrace echoed in his ears. His thoughts were in perfect harmony with Lin Xuan's.
hún niàn kōng jiān fā shēng de yí mù ， lín xuān bìng bù qīng chǔ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā zhèng yī zhǎ bù zhǎ de dīng zhuó yǎn qián de sì jiàn bǎo wù 。
魂念空间发生的一幕，林轩并不清楚，此时此刻，他正一眨不眨的盯着眼前的四件宝物。
With treasures appearing, people tend to act impulsively. He feared that Lin Xuan might do something foolish that could harm innocent bystanders. After all, this old man had been a force to reckon with for twelve states of heaven and earth for thousands of years. It was enough to make Lin Xuan proud.
mào sì dà bù fèn xīn shén dōu bèi xī yǐn le guò qù ， rán ér zhè bù guò shì biǎo xiàng ér yǐ qí shí lín xuān de dà bù fèn jīng lì ， dōu zài páng biān de wàng tíng lóu ， hài pà duì fāng bào qǐ chū shǒu 。
貌似大部分心神都被吸引了过去，然而这不过是表象而已其实林轩的大部分精力，都在旁边的望亭楼，害怕对方暴起出手。
"Friend Daoist's words are in line with my thoughts. As they say, it’s better to part amicably. I don’t want to quarrel with Brother Pavilion. Let us first open these boxes and see what treasures lie within before deciding how to distribute them. What do you think?" Lin Xuan sighed, his words sincere.
bì jìng xiān rén bǎo wù ， shuí bù chuí xián sān chǐ ， yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě rěn bú zhù dà tūn tuò mò 。
毕竟仙人宝物，谁不垂涎三尺，以林轩的城府，也忍不住大吞唾沫。
"Hmm, that sounds good. For fairness's sake, let’s each open one box," the Pavilion by the Terrace nodded contentedly. The two then used their respective powers to take the jade boxes in hand.
“ lín dào yǒu ， nǐ zài xiǎng shén me ， běn zūn xīn lǐ yǒu shù dàn wǒ men zuì hǎo hái shì dōu bú yào dòng bié de xīn sī le ， sú huà shuō ， rén xīn bù zú shé tūn xiàng ， jí biàn shì píng fēn le zhè xiē bǎo wù ． duì wǒ men lái shuō ， yě shì sān shì xiū lái de xiān fú ， píng píng ān ān de dé dào bǎo wù jiē dà huān xǐ ， hé kǔ wèi le yī shí tān niàn ， qù pīn gè liǎng bài jù shāng ne ？”
“林道友，你在想什么，本尊心里有数但我们最好还是都不要动别的心思了，俗话说，人心不足蛇吞象，即便是平分了这些宝物．对我们来说，也是三世修来的仙福，平平安安的得到宝物皆大欢喜，何苦为了一时贪念，去拼个两败俱伤呢？”
Each box was about half a foot long and wide, but with their extensive knowledge, they couldn’t determine what material they were made of—likely not from the mortal world.
wàng tíng lóu de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā ài de xiǎng fǎ ， dǎo shì yǔ lín xuān bù móu ér hé bǎo wù xiàn shì ， zuì shì rén róng yì chōng dòng zhī shí ， tā yě hài pà lín xuān zuò shǎ shì yāng jí wú gū 。
望亭楼的声音传入耳朵，他爱的想法，倒是与林轩不谋而合宝物现世，最是人容易冲动之时，他也害怕林轩做傻事殃及无辜。
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment before flipping his wrist to open the lid. There were noprohibition seal talisman on it.
yào zhī dào ， zhè lǎo jiā huǒ kě shì wēi zhèn tiān yún shí èr zhōu qiān nián zhī jiǔ ， néng wèi tā rú cǐ jì dàn ， lín xuān yě zú yǐ zì ào le 。
要知道，这老家伙可是威震天云十二州千年之久，能为他如此忌惮，林轩也足以自傲了。
However, something unexpected happened. As soon as his hand touched the lid, a white electric arc shot out.
“ dào yǒu suǒ shuō ， zhèng hé lín mǒu de xīn yì ， sú huà shuō ， hǎo jù hǎo sàn ， zài xià yě bù xiǎng yǔ tíng lóu xiōng fān liǎn ， bù rú wǒ men xiān jiāng zhè xiē hé zi dǎ kāi ， kàn kàn yǒu xiē shén me bǎo wù ， zài jué dìng rú hé fēn pèi ， bù zhī dào dào yǒu yì xià rú hé ？” lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， suǒ shuō de yǔ yán zhēn chéng wú bǐ 。
“道友所说，正合林某的心意，俗话说，好聚好散，在下也不想与亭楼兄翻脸，不如我们先将这些盒子打开，看看有些什么宝物，再决定如何分配，不知道道友意下如何？”林轩叹了口气，所说的语言真诚无比。
Fortunately, Lin Xuan was already alert and activated the Illusory Heavenly Fire. The electric arc struck, producing crackling sounds that filled his ears. The Illusory Heavenly Fire flickered and deflected the attack.
“ ń ， rú cǐ zuò ， zhèng hé wǒ yì ， wèi gōng píng qǐ jiàn ， wǒ men jiù yī rén jiāng yí gè hé zi dǎ kāi hǎo le 。” wàng tíng lóu mǎn yì de diǎn diǎn tóu ， suí hòu liǎng rén gè shī shén tōng ， jiāng liǎng gè yù hé qǔ zài le shǒu zhōng 。
“嗯，如此做，正合我意，为公平起见，我们就一人将一个盒子打开好了。”望亭楼满意的点点头，随后两人各施神通，将两个玉盒取在了手中。
Drops of sweat formed on Lin Xuan's forehead. Thankfully, it wasn’t a powerful enough attack; otherwise, he might not have stood there safely.
zhǎng kuān jiē yǒu bàn chǐ zuǒ yòu ， yǐ liǎng rén jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yě kàn bù chū shì yóu shén me cái liào zhì zuò ér chéng de ， shí yǒu ** bú shì rén jiè zhī wù 。
长宽皆有半尺左右，以两人见识广博，也看不出是由什么材料制作而成的，十有**不是人界之物。
He took a deep breath as the Illusory Heavenly Fire enveloped his entire hand, emitting brilliant five-colored light. The white electric arc reappeared, creating a dense sound like popping beans in his ears.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī zhèn dí gū ， suí hòu shǒu wàn fān zhuǎn ， jiù xiǎng yào jiāng hé gài dǎ kāi ， fǎn zhèng méi yǒu jìn zhì fú zhuàn tiē zài shàng miàn 。
林轩心中一阵嘀咕，随后手腕翻转，就想要将盒盖打开，反正没有禁制符篆贴在上面。
Although the electric arc had its unique qualities, it lacked replenishment of essence energy and eventually faded after half a cup of tea.
kě chū rén yì liào de shì qíng fā shēng le ， shǒu zhǎng gāng gāng yǔ hé gài xiāng chù ， shàng miàn jiù bào shè chū yī dào rǔ bái sè de diàn hú 。
可出人意料的事情发生了，手掌刚刚与盒盖相触，上面就爆射出一道乳白色的电弧。
A soft "click" sounded as he opened the lid, revealing the treasures inside.
hǎo zài lín xuān zǎo yǐ zài jǐng màn zhe ， xīn niàn yī dòng ， huàn líng tiān huǒ jiù fú xiàn ér chū ， diàn hú jī dǎ zài shàng miàn ， pī lǐ pā lā de bào xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr biān ， huàn líng tiān huǒ yī zhèn shǎn shuò ， yǐ jiāng zhè gōng jī huà jiě diào le 。
好在林轩早已在警慢着，心念一动，幻灵天火就浮现而出，电弧击打在上面，噼里啪啦的爆响声传入耳边，幻灵天火一阵闪烁，已将这攻击化解掉了。
"What…?"
lín xuān é tóu shàng qìn chū dòu dà de hàn dī ， hǎo zài bú shì tài guò lì hài de dōng xī ， fǒu zé zì jǐ néng fǒu píng ān de zhàn zài zhè lǐ ， hái shì liǎng shuō zhī shì 。
林轩额头上沁出豆大的汗滴，好在不是太过厉害的东西，否则自己能否平安的站在这里，还是两说之事。
Lin Xuan was eager but widened his eyes when he saw what was inside. His mouth dropped open in shock.
tā xī le kǒu qì ， bù jǐn huàn líng tiān huǒ bāo guǒ zhù le zhěng zhǐ shǒu zhǎng ， biǎo miàn shàng hái shǎn shuò zhe yào mù de wǔ sè líng guāng ， nà bái sè diàn hú zài cì fú xiàn ér chū ， yī shí zhī jiān ， rú chǎo dòu zi bān de mì jí shēng yīn bù tíng chuán rù ěr biān 。
他吸了口气，不仅幻灵天火包裹住了整只手掌，表面上还闪烁着耀目的五色灵光，那白色电弧再次浮现而出，一时之间，如炒豆子般的密集声音不停传入耳边。
Moon had been watching Pavilion by the Terrace from the side. Now she too leaned forward with her hand over her mouth, almost thinking she had seen wrongly.
nà diàn hú huò xǔ yǒu dú dào zhī chù ， dàn bì jìng dé bú dào líng lì de bǔ chōng ， chí xù le xiǎo bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， zhōng yú huà wèi le xū wú 。
那电弧或许有独到之处，但毕竟得不到灵力的补充，持续了小半盏茶的功夫，终于化为了虚无。
It wasn’t hard to understand their reactions.
“ pā ” de yī shēng qīng xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hé gài dǎ kāi ， lǐ miàn de bǎo wù zhōng yú xiǎn xiàn chū lái 。
“啪”的一声轻响传入耳朵，盒盖打开，里面的宝物终于显现出来。
Inside the jade box were not medicinal pills or precious materials for refining weapons; rather, a bundle of hair.
“ zhè shì …．．．”
“这是…．．．”
Long strands of hair, coiled together, numbering hundreds. If fully extended, it would be long enough to reach the waist even on a tall woman.
lín xuān zǎo yǐ pò bù jí dài ， kě mù guāng sǎo guò ， què dèng dà le yǎn ， lián zuǐ bā yě rěn bú zhù zhāng kāi ， xiǎn rán shì chī jīng dào le jí diǎn 。
林轩早已迫不及待，可目光扫过，却瞪大了眼，连嘴巴也忍不住张开，显然是吃惊到了极点。
What kind of immortal treasure was this?
yuè ér yuán běn zài yī páng jiān shì zhe wàng tíng lóu ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě bù yóu de còu guò le zhēn shǒu 。
月儿原本在一旁监视着望亭楼，此时此刻，也不由得凑过了臻首。
Lin Xuan was initially puzzled but then thought that if it were an immortal's hair, there might be some hidden uses.
suí hòu yě yǐ shǒu yǎn kǒu ， jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ kàn cuò 。
随后也以手掩口，几乎以为自己看错。
After a moment’s hesitation, he placed the hair against his forehead and probed with his divine sense.
yě nán guài zhǔ pú èr rén fǎn yìng rú cǐ dà de 。
也难怪主仆二人反应如此大的。
Soon, Lin Xuan lifted his head, looking disappointed. The hair had no essence energy; regardless of whether it was an immortal's hair or not, it appeared indistinguishable from that of a mortal now.
zài nà yù hé zhī zhōng ， suǒ shèng de bìng fēi dān yào ， yě bú shì shén me fǎ bǎo ， gèng fēi zhēn xī de liàn qì cái liào 。
在那玉盒之中，所盛的并非丹药，也不是什么法宝，更非珍稀的炼器材料。
Sighing, he turned to look at Pavilion by the Terrace.
ér … yī shù tóu fà 。
而…一束头发。
Just like before, there wereprohibition on the jade box, but fortunately, he managed to deactivate them without much trouble. At this moment, Pavilion by the Terrace held atalisman in his hand.
cháng cháng de tóu fà ， bèi pán juǎn zài yì qǐ ， yuē yǒu shù bǎi gēn zhī duō ， rú guǒ quán bù dǎ kāi de huà ， jí shǐ shì yī wèi shēn cái gāo tiǎo nǚ zǐ ， nà tóu fà yě zhǎng kě jí yāo 。
长长的头发，被盘卷在一起，约有数百根之多，如果全部打开的话，即使是一位身材高挑女子，那头发也长可及腰。
What kind of miraculous uses could immortal's talismans have?
kě zhè suàn shén me xiān rén de yí bǎo ？
可这算什么仙人的遗宝？
Lin Xuan was initially pleased but then his expression turned grim.
lín xuān xiān shì yí huò ， dàn suí hòu xiǎng dào ， rú shì xiān rén de tóu fà ， yě xǔ lìng yǒu miào yòng de 。
林轩先是疑惑，但随后想到，如是仙人的头发，也许另有妙用的。
It was a broken talisman, seemingly torn apart by someone. Although the remaining half still emitted brilliant light, it couldn’t be used and would only serve for research on talisman-making techniques.
lüè yī chóu chú ， tā jiāng tóu fà tiē yú é tóu ， jiàn shén shí tàn rù qí zhōng 。
略一踌躇，他将头发贴于额头，见神识探入其中。
However, to understand the mysteries of immortals' talismans required deep knowledge that ordinary cultivators could never grasp.
The ghostly voice was filled with temptation. Whatever he said, even a cultivator of scattered immortals would be moved by it.
"What do I need to pay?"
However, Tian Xiaojian was different from the average person. Having fallen from being a ruthless young master to an aimless wandering cultivator, his path to becoming an immortal had been fraught with countless twists and turns. His hardships were no less than Lin Xuan's.
The arduous trials had matured his mind like that of a fox who lived for many years. There are no free lunches in heaven.
