“ dào yǒu yào zhè mù hé ？”
“道友要这木盒？”
"Friend, do you want this wooden box?"
lín xuān tīng le zhè huà ， méi tóu yī tiāo ， méi yǒu lì kè jiē kǒu ， dàn liǎn sè què màn màn de yīn chén xià lái le 。
林轩听了这话，眉头一挑，没有立刻接口，但脸色却慢慢的阴沉下来了。
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing these words. He did not immediately respond but his face gradually darkened.
“ bù cuò ， zěn me ， nán dào dào yǒu duì cǐ yǒu shén me yì jiàn me ？”
“不错，怎么，难道道友对此有什么意见么？”
"Not bad. Is there something wrong with that? Do you have any objections to it?"
wàng tíng lóu jiàn le lín xuān de biǎo qíng ， xīn zhōng yī lǐn ， biǎo miàn shàng suī bù dòng shēng sè ， dàn àn dì lǐ ， yǐ qiǎo rán jiè bèi qǐ lái le 。
望亭楼见了林轩的表情，心中一凛，表面上虽不动声色，但暗地里，已悄然戒备起来了。
Wang Tinglou noticed Lin Xuan's expression and felt a chill in his heart. Although he remained calm on the surface, he secretly began to prepare for potential conflict.
“ dào yǒu hé bì míng zhī gù wèn ne ， zhè cì wǒ men fèi jìn xīn jī ， lái xún fǎng bǎo wù ， kě suǒ wèi de xiān rén yí bǎo ， jiū jìng shì xiē shén me dōng xī xiǎng bì dào yǒu yě dōu kàn jiàn le ， lín mǒu bù yuàn xū yǔ wēi yí ， jiù dǎ kāi tiān chuāng shuō liàng huà hǎo le ， chú le zhè mù hé zhōng suǒ shèng fàng zhī wù ， kàn qǐ lái fán yǒu jià zhí ， qí tā de sān jiàn bǎo wù ， dōu bù guò shì xū yǒu qí biǎo ér yǐ ， jí shǐ yǒu xiē yòng tú ， duì yú nǐ wǒ lái shuō ， yě bù guò shì jī lèi zhī de ……“……”，“ nà yī dào yǒu zhī yì ， yòu gāi rú hé fēn pèi ne ？” wàng tíng lóu méi yǒu fā huǒ ， ér shì dàn dàn de kāi kǒu le 。
“道友何必明知故问呢，这次我们费尽心机，来寻访宝物，可所谓的仙人遗宝，究竟是些什么东西想必道友也都看见了，林某不愿虚与委蛇，就打开天窗说亮话好了，除了这木盒中所盛放之物，看起来烦有价值，其他的三件宝物，都不过是虚有其表而已，即使有些用途，对于你我来说，也不过是鸡肋之的……“……”，“那依道友之意，又该如何分配呢？”望亭楼没有发火，而是淡淡的开口了。
"Why ask such a question when you know the answer? We've gone through great lengths to find these treasures. I'm sure you've seen what they are. I won't waste your time with empty talk. Let's be clear: apart from the items in this wooden box, which seem valuable, the other three treasures are merely superficial."
“ yī wǒ zhī yì ， zhè mù hé zhōng de dōng xī ， bìng fēi zhǐ yǒu yī jiàn ér yǐ ， wǒ men yī rén yí bàn ， píng fēn yǐ hòu ， zài ……”
“依我之意，这木盒中的东西，并非只有一件而已，我们一人一半，平分以后，再……”
"Then according to your opinion, how should we divide them?" Wang Tinglou did not get angry but spoke calmly.
“ bù xíng ， wàng mǒu shuō guò ， zhè mù hé zhōng de shì wù ， duì wǒ lìng yǒu yòng tú ， bǐ rén shì shì zài bì děi 。” lín xuān huà yīn wèi luò ， wàng tíng lóu jiù rěn bú zhù chā kǒu le ， dāng rán zhè fān yán yǔ ， qí shí shì dé le bèi hòu yì lóng zhēn rén de shòu yì 。
“不行，望某说过，这木盒中的事物，对我另有用途，鄙人是势在必得。”林轩话音未落，望亭楼就忍不住插口了，当然这番言语，其实是得了背后翼龙真人的授意。
"In my view, the items in the wooden box are not just one thing. We can split them evenly and then..."
“ gāng cái chú qù gǔ mó ， kě shì lín mǒu chū de dà lì ， méi yǒu wǒ ， nà jìn zhì yě tóng yàng wú fǎ pò chú ， dào yǒu zhè me zuò ， nán dào bù jué dé yǒu xiē tài mán hèng le ？”
“刚才除去古魔，可是林某出的大力，没有我，那禁制也同样无法破除，道友这么做，难道不觉得有些太蛮横了？”
"No way," Wang Tinglou interrupted before Lin Xuan could finish. This was actually at the behest of his master, the Dragon True Monarch.
lín xuān de yǔ qì ， jiàn jiàn yán lì ， yuè ér yě tà qián yī bù ， yǔ shào yé zhàn zài yì qǐ ， zhǔ pú èr rén chéng jī jiǎo zhī shì ， kōng qì zhōng de qì fēn ， jiàn jiàn de kāi shǐ níng zhì 。
林轩的语气，渐渐严厉，月儿也踏前一步，与少爷站在一起，主仆二人成犄角之势，空气中的气氛，渐渐的开始凝滞。
"Earlier when we dealt with that ancient demon, it was your effort. Without you, theprohibition wouldn't have been broken either. Do you not think this is a bit too domineering?"
“ dào yǒu zhè yòu shì hé bì ， bù guò shì yī xiē nǚ zǐ suǒ yòng de shì wù ér yǐ ， yòu bù néng tū pò jìng jiè zēng qiáng fǎ lì ， zhè yàng ba ， shèng xià de sān jiàn xiān rén yí bǎo ” dào yǒu kě yǐ yōu xiān tiāo xuǎn liǎng jiàn ， shèng xià de ” nǐ wǒ zài píng fēn ， wàng mǒu zhè yàng zuò ， bù zhī dào yǒu yì xià rú hé ？” wàng tíng lóu lüè yī chóu chú ， rú cǐ zhè bān de kāi kǒu le 。
“道友这又是何必，不过是一些女子所用的事物而已，又不能突破境界增强法力，这样吧，剩下的三件仙人遗宝”道友可以优先挑选两件，剩下的”你我再平分，望某这样做，不知道友意下如何？”望亭楼略一踌躇，如此这般的开口了。
Lin Xuan's tone grew more severe. Yue'er stepped forward and stood beside him. They were about to fight for their lives.
“ hē hē ， dào yǒu hǎo suàn jì ” wǒ yǔ yuè ér ， yuán běn jiù shì liǎng gè rén ， bǎo wù běn lái jiù gāi fēn chéng sān fèn ， dào yǒu zhè yàng zuò ， mào sì kāng kǎi ， qí shí zhàn le wǒ liǎ de dà biàn yí 。
“呵呵，道友好算计”我与月儿，原本就是两个人，宝物本来就该分成三份，道友这样做，貌似慷慨，其实占了我俩的大便宜。
Facing the renowned Wang Tinglou, Lin Xuan did not show any weakness.
hé kuàng lín mǒu gāng cái shuō guò ， qí yú de sān jiàn yí bǎo ， bù guò shì jī lèi ér yǐ ” ná le yě méi yǒu yòng tú ， suǒ yǐ lín mǒu hái shì jiān chí gāng cái de tí yì 。”
何况林某刚才说过，其余的三件遗宝，不过是鸡肋而已”拿了也没有用途，所以林某还是坚持刚才的提议。”
Wang Tinglou's expression gradually calmed down.
“ nǐ ……”
“你……”
He had seen Lin Xuan's abilities before; even if they joined forces with that woman, he would be hard-pressed to win against him.
wàng tíng lóu bó rán dà nù ， hún shēn jīn sè de qì yàn pēn bó ， lín xuān jiàn liǎo què bìng bù shì ruò ， bèi hòu tóng yàng yǒu jīn guāng zhàn fàng ér chū ， nà jiǔ tóu shí bā bì fǎ xiàng zài cì ruò yǐn ruò xiàn le 。
望亭楼勃然大怒，浑身金色的气焰喷薄，林轩见了却并不示弱，背后同样有金光绽放而出，那九头十八臂法相再次若隐若现了。
"Alright. I'm no bully. Your words have some merit. The remaining three treasures can all go to you, but the items in the wooden box must belong to me. If not, we'll settle this by force."
yuè ér yù shǒu yī fú ， nà shì yàng gǔ piáo de yàn tāi fú xiàn ér chū ， guǐ shā yīn mò zài xiōng qián piāo fú 。
月儿玉手一拂，那式样古朴的砚台浮现而出，鬼煞阴墨在胸前漂浮。
"Umm..."
qì fēn dào le yī chù jí fā de dì bù ， gāng gāng hái xié shǒu hé zuò de liǎng gè rén ， zhuǎn yǎn jiān jiù yào fēn qiáng ruò shēng sǐ le 。
气氛到了一触即发的地步，刚刚还携手合作的两个人，转眼间就要分强弱生死了。
Lin Xuan's face showed hesitation as he looked at the wooden box. He seemed reluctant to part with it, though he was too powerful for such a display of weakness.
miàn duì xiǎng yù qiān zài de wàng tíng lóu ， lín xuān jū rán fēn háo yě bù shì ruò 。
面对享誉千载的望亭楼，林轩居然分毫也不示弱。
Seeing Lin Xuan's reluctance, Wang Tinglou smiled and quickly produced an exquisite jade box from his waist: "If you still feel cheated, I'll give you five top-grade crystal stones. Even in the Spirit Realm, these will be useful. I'm sure this will satisfy you."
wàng tíng lóu de biǎo qíng ， jiàn jiàn lěng jìng xià lái le 。
望亭楼的表情，渐渐冷静下来了。
The lid of the box opened to reveal a rainbow glow. Indeed, there were five crystals with different elemental properties.
lín xuān de shén tōng ， tā jiàn guò ， ruò zhēn yǔ páng biān nà nǚ zǐ lián shǒu ， zì jǐ zòng rán bù jù ， qǔ shèng yě miǎo máng dé jǐn 。
林轩的神通，他见过，若真与旁边那女子联手，自己纵然不惧，取胜也渺茫得紧。
Lin Xuan's expression turned satisfied: "Friend, your sincerity is commendable. If I insist on keeping it, that would seem unreasonable. Fine, these three treasures may not have much use, but they are still valuable. The top-grade crystal stones are rare, and this trip won't be in vain."
“ hǎo ba ， wàng mǒu bú shì qiáng hèng bà dào zhī tú ， nǐ gāng cái suǒ shuō de yán yǔ ， yě yǒu jǐ fēn dào lǐ ， shèng xià de sān jiàn xiān rén yí bǎo ” nǐ tōng tōng dōu kě yǐ ná qù ， dàn mù hé zhī wù ， bì xū guī wǒ ” rú guǒ nǐ hái bù tóng yì de huà ， wǒ men jiù zhǐ yǒu zài shǒu dǐ xià jiàn zhēn zhāng le 。”
“好吧，望某不是强横霸道之徒，你刚才所说的言语，也有几分道理，剩下的三件仙人遗宝”你通通都可以拿去，但木盒之物，必须归我”如果你还不同意的话，我们就只有在手底下见真章了。”
"Ha! Your choice is wise. We've come so far; why make a fuss?" Wang Tinglou stroked his beard and sighed with relief.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
With the agreement reached, things would go smoothly from here. Lin Xuan reluctantly looked at the wooden box before sighing and putting on his sleeves. A beam of light flew out to wrap up the remaining three treasures. Afterward, he put away the five top-grade crystal stones as well.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng ” bù yóu de xiàn chū chí yí zhī sè ， mù guāng sǎo xiàng nà mù hé ， sì hū fēi cháng de bù shě ， dàn duì yú tiān yún shí èr zhōu dì yī gāo shǒu ， yòu zěn me kě néng sī háo jì dàn méi yǒu 。
林轩的脸上”不由得现出迟疑之色，目光扫像那木盒，似乎非常的不舍，但对于天云十二州第一高手，又怎么可能丝毫忌惮没有。
Seeing this, Wang Tinglou did not hesitate either and hid the wooden box in his palm.
jiàn lín xuān xīn dòng ， wàng tíng lóu xǐ sè yī xiǎn ， máng zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de yù hé fēi le chū lái ：“ zhè yàng ba ， dào yǒu ruò hái shì jué de chī kuī ， wàng mǒu zài bǔ cháng nǐ wǔ kuài jí pǐn jīng shí ， zhè dōng xī jí shǐ dào le líng jiè zhī zhōng ， yī jiù dà yǒu yòng tú ， wǒ xiǎng dào yǒu yīng gāi mǎn yì le 。”
见林轩心动，望亭楼喜色一显，忙在腰间一拍，一个小小的玉盒飞了出来：“这样吧，道友若还是觉得吃亏，望某再补偿你五块极品晶石，这东西即使到了灵界之中，依旧大有用途，我想道友应该满意了。”
After dividing all the treasures, they could not be said to have achieved complete satisfaction, but at least both of them had gained something. They were much luckier than those fallen cultivators.
suí zhe tā de huà yǔ ， nà hé gài dǎ kāi ， wǔ sè guāng yùn liú zhuǎn ， guǒ rán shì wǔ xíng shǔ xìng de jīng shí gè yī kuài 。
随着他的话语，那盒盖打开，五色光韵流转，果然是五行属性的晶石各一块。
Of course, it was more than just luck; their strength was unmatched by other cultivators.
lín xuān bù yóu de lù chū le mǎn yì de biǎo qíng lái ：“ dào yǒu rú cǐ yǒu chéng yì ， lín mǒu ruò hái jiān chí ， nà jiù xiǎn de yǒu xiē bù jìn qíng lǐ ， yě bà ， zhè sān jiàn bǎo wù suī rán méi yǒu shén me yòng tú ， dàn yě bù wú xiǎo bǔ ， jí pǐn jīng shí nǎi shì zhēn xī wù ， yǒu le xī ， lín mǒu cǐ xíng ， dào yě bù suàn kōng shǒu 。”
林轩不由得露出了满意的表情来：“道友如此有诚意，林某若还坚持，那就显得有些不近情理，也罢，这三件宝物虽然没有什么用途，但也不无小补，极品晶石乃是珍稀物，有了牺，林某此行，倒也不算空手。”
In survival of the fittest, the cultivation world was always fair in its own way.
“ hē hē ， dào yǒu zhè me zuò ， jué duì shì zhèng què xuǎn zé ， nǐ wǒ xiāng hù fú chí ， hǎo bù róng yì cái zǒu dào zhè yī bù ， yòu hé bì fān liǎn ne ？” wàng tíng lóu mō le mō hú xū ， yě bù yóu de sōng le kǒu qì 。
“呵呵，道友这么做，绝对是正确选择，你我相互扶持，好不容易才走到这一步，又何必翻脸呢？”望亭楼摸了摸胡须，也不由得松了口气。
After dividing the treasures, they did not leave immediately but thoroughly inspected the entire underground palace to ensure there were no hidden items. Only then did they gather and discuss.
jì rán tán tuǒ ， nà jiē xià lái jiù hǎo bàn le ， lín xuān xiān yī yī bù shě de kàn le yī yǎn wàng tíng lóu shǒu zhōng de mù hé ， suí hòu tàn le kǒu qì ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào guāng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， jiāng shèng yú de sān jiàn xiān rén yí bǎo guǒ zhù ， guāng xiá yī shǎn ， yǐ huí dào le tā de yī xiù lǐ miàn ， suí hòu lín xuān yòu jiāng nà wǔ lì jí pǐn jīng shí ， yě yī yī shōu rù le náng lǐ 。
既然谈妥，那接下来就好办了，林轩先依依不舍的看了一眼望亭楼手中的木盒，随后叹了口气，袖袍一拂，一道光霞飞掠而出，将剩余的三件仙人遗宝裹住，光霞一闪，已回到了他的衣袖里面，随后林轩又将那五粒极品晶石，也一一收入了囊里。
"Since our goal has been achieved, I won't delay any longer and will return by the same path. What do you think?" Lin Xuan said slowly.
jiàn le lín xuān de jǔ dòng ， wàng tíng lóu zì rán yě bú huì kè qì ， shǒu zhǎng yī fān ， nà mù hé tóng yàng fán wèi guǐ yì de xiāo nì bú jiàn 。
见了林轩的举动，望亭楼自然也不会客气，手掌一翻，那木盒同样烦为诡异的消匿不见。
"I agree. Once this matter is settled, there won't be many treasures left on Penglai Mountain. We have little time left. I plan to meditate somewhere until the Netherworld Gate opens, then leave from here."
guā fēn wán le suǒ yǒu de bǎo wù ， suī bù néng shuō jiē dà huān xǐ ， dàn zhì shǎo biǎo miàn shàng ， liǎng rén yě dōu huò duō huò shǎo de dá dào le yì diǎn mù dì ， zhì shǎo bǐ qǐ nà xiē yǔn luò de xiū xiān zhě ， tā liǎ shí zài xìng yùn tài duō tài duō 。
瓜分完了所有的宝物，虽不能说皆大欢喜，但至少表面上，两人也都或多或少的达到了一点目的，至少比起那些陨落的修仙者，他俩实在幸运太多太多。
"Oh?" Lin Xuan nodded and glanced at the cultivator in front of him: "Your luck is great; you are the top expert of the Twelve States of Tianyun. You've reached the peak of Separation Realm. I'm sure you can pass your heavenly tribulation without issue. In the Spirit Realm, you'll surely achieve great things. Congratulations."
dāng rán ， zhè yě bú shì dān yòng yùn qì kě yǐ jiě shì de ， ér shì lín xuān liǎng rén de shí lì ， shí fēi qí tā xiū shì kě bǐ 。
当然，这也不是单用运气可以解释的，而是林轩两人的实力，实非其他修士可比。
"Such words make me feel humble. After two thousand years of hard work, I achieved this. But you are so young with only initial Separation Realm strength yet have countless abilities and a reverse-defying power. Your strength is formidable enough to match mine. If I can pass the heavenly tribulation, what problem could you possibly have? Would you like to ascend to the Spirit Realm with me?" Wang Tinglou's face showed a bitter smile: "The next wave will push ahead."
wù jìng tiān zé ， qí shí cóng mǒu zhǒng yì yì lái shuō ， xiū xiān jiè ， yí xiàng dōu shì fēi cháng gōng píng de 。
物竞天择，其实从某种意义来说，修仙界，一向都是非常公平的。
"Hmm, let's talk about it later."
liǎng rén guā fēn wán bǎo wù yǐ hòu ， bìng méi yǒu lì kè lí kāi ， ér shì yòu jiāng zhěng gè dì gōng ， hǎo hǎo de xún shì le yī biàn ， què dìng zài méi yǒu yǐn rén zhù yì zhī wù ， zhè cái chóng xīn còu zài yì qǐ ， shāng liáng le qǐ lái 。
两人瓜分完宝物以后，并没有立刻离开，而是又将整个地宫，好好的巡视了一遍，确定再没有引人注意之物，这才重新凑在一起，商量了起来。
Lin Xuan's face glowed as he was flattered. He bowed to Wang Tinglou and then turned into a beam of yellow light, leaving the underground palace.
“ cǐ xíng mù dì jì yǐ dá dào ， lín mǒu yě bù zhǔn bèi dān gē ， yuán lù fǎn huí ， bù zhī dào dào yǒu yì xià rú hé ？” lín xuān huǎn huǎn de shuō 。
“此行目的既已达到，林某也不准备耽搁，原路返回，不知道道友意下如何？”林轩缓缓的说。
Knowing that he had valuable treasures, Lin Xuan had no interest in leaving with him.
“ wàng mǒu zì rán yě shì yī yàng de ， cǐ jiān shì le ， gū jì zhěng gè péng lái shān ， yě bú huì zài yǒu duō shǎo bǎo wù ， rú jīn shèng yú de shí jiān yǐ rán bù duō ， wàng mǒu zhǔn bèi zhǎo yí gè dì fāng jìng zuò ， dài xiū luó zhī mén kāi qǐ ， jiù cóng zhè lǐ chū qù 。”
“望某自然也是一样的，此间事了，估计整个蓬莱山，也不会再有多少宝物，如今剩余的时间已然不多，望某准备找一个地方静坐，待修罗之门开启，就从这里出去。”
Who knew if the old monster would turn hostile halfway through?
“ ó ？” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， piǎo le yī yǎn shēn qián de xiū xiān zhě ：“ dào yǒu fú yuán shēn hòu ， guì wèi tiān yún shí èr zhōu dì yī gāo shǒu ， rú jīn yǐ shì lí hé hòu qī dǐng fēng de xiū wèi ， xiǎng bì dù guò tiān jié méi yǒu shén me wèn tí ， wèi lái dào le líng jiè yǐ hòu ， bì rán yě néng dà zhǎn hóng tú ， lín mǒu zài zhè lǐ ， xiān gōng xǐ le 。”
“哦？”林轩点了点头，瞟了一眼身前的修仙者：“道友福缘深厚，贵为天云十二州第一高手，如今已是离合后期顶峰的修为，想必度过天劫没有什么问题，未来到了灵界以后，必然也能大展宏图，林某在这里，先恭喜了。”
As for his offer of breaking the tribulation, Lin Xuan did not listen to it.
“ dào yǒu zhè yàng shuō ， kě shì zài hán chěn wàng mǒu ， zài xià kǔ xiū liǎng qiān duō nián ， cái yǒu le jīn rì de chéng jiù ， kě dào yǒu jīn nián cái duō dà ， yǐ lí hé chū qī de shí lì ， shǒu duàn què céng chū bù qióng ， pèi hé nì tiān shén tōng ， shí lì zhī qiáng ， jī hū néng yǔ wǒ fēn tíng kàng lǐ ， zài xià néng káng guò tiān jié ， dào yǒu yòu huì yǒu shén me wèn tí ， yǒu méi yǒu xìng qù ， yǔ wǒ yì qǐ fēi shēng dào líng jiè qù ？” wàng tíng lóu de liǎn shàng què lù chū kǔ xiào zhī sè ：“ cháng jiāng hòu làng tuī qián làng ， dào yǒu cái shì qián tú wú liàng 。”
“道友这样说，可是在寒碜望某，在下苦修两千多年，才有了今日的成就，可道友今年才多大，以离合初期的实力，手段却层出不穷，配合逆天神通，实力之强，几乎能与我分庭抗礼，在下能扛过天劫，道友又会有什么问题，有没有兴趣，与我一起飞升到灵界去？”望亭楼的脸上却露出苦笑之色：“长江后浪推前浪，道友才是前途无量。”
While he might match Wang Tinglou's strength with his abilities and treasures, he could at least defend himself. But the tribulation was different from power; the mind was another matter.
“ hē hē ， zhè ge yǐ hòu zài shuō 。”
“呵呵，这个以后再说。”
He had confidence in surviving the lightning bolts but doubted his ability to withstand the heart demons that accompanied them. His quick progression made him less mentally resilient compared to peers, making it almost impossible for him to pass such a test.
lín xuān hóng guāng mǎn miàn ， sì hū bèi duì fāng de kuā zàn ， nòng dé yǒu xiē piāo piāo rán ， chōng wàng tíng lóu yī bào quán ， suí hòu huà wèi yī dào huáng guāng ， fēi chū le dì gōng lǐ miàn 。
林轩红光满面，似乎被对方的夸赞，弄得有些飘飘然，冲望亭楼一抱拳，随后化为一道黄光，飞出了地宫里面。
Although the Deva Realm Dharmakaya had once broken through a heart demon during their journey, Lin Xuan was not sure if it was due to its innate abilities or just luck.
cóng kè tā shēn huái zhòng bǎo ， zì rán méi yǒu xìng qù ， yǔ duì fāng yì qǐ lí qù 。
丛刻他身怀重宝，自然没有兴趣，与对方一起离去。
Regardless, he would not risk it. Wang Tinglou's suggestion to face the tribulation now seemed well-meaning but harbored hidden motives.
tiān zhī dào nà lǎo guài wù huì bú huì shì xiào miàn hǔ ， zǒu dào bàn tú ， tū rán fān liǎn dòng shǒu shén me 。
天知道那老怪物会不会是笑面虎，走到半途，突然翻脸动手什么。
Instead, he planned to use the teleportation array with his sister for a safer passage.
zhì yú duì fāng suǒ shuō de pò jié fēi shēng de huà yǔ ， lín xuān děng rán bú huì tīng jìn qù 。
至于对方所说的破劫飞升的话语，林轩等然不会听进去。
He wondered where Fairy Yuanyan was now. Lin Xuan sighed; this trip had indeed been fruitful despite the separation from his sister.
huò xǔ jiè zhù shén tōng yǔ bǎo wù ， tā què shí néng yǔ wàng tíng lóu fēn tíng kàng lǐ ， dǎ bù yíng ， dàn miǎn qiǎng zì bǎo què bú huì yǒu shén me wèn tí 。
或许借助神通与宝物，他确实能与望亭楼分庭抗礼，打不赢，但勉强自保却不会有什么问题。
Thinking of the three treasures from the true immortal, Lin Xuan felt excited. These were not mere trifles but valuable items he had cleverly obtained.
kě shén tōng yǔ jìng jiè shì liǎng mǎ shì ， tiān jié yǔ dòu fǎ gèng shì bù néng hùn wéi yī tán dì 。
可神通与境界是两码事，天劫与斗法更是不能混为一谈地。
The old monster's intelligence was wasted on such a trick. He had easily fallen for it and even offered five top-grade crystal stones in exchange.
jié léi lín xuān yǒu bǎ wò káng guò ， zhè zhǐ dài biǎo tā fǎ lì qiáng hèng bà le ， kě xīn jìng ne ， jù nà xiē shàng gǔ diǎn jí suǒ shuō ， zhè zhǒng fēi shēng shàng jiè de tiān jié huì bàn yǒu xīn mó ， kě pà chéng dù bìng bù bǐ jié léi ruò ， ér lín xuān yīn wèi xiū liàn xùn sù ， xīn xìng yǔ tóng jiē xiū shì xiāng bǐ yě dà wèi bù rú ， káng guò xīn mó de kě néng xìng jī hū shì yì diǎn yě wú 。
劫雷林轩有把握扛过，这只代表他法力强横罢了，可心境呢，据那些上古典籍所说，这种飞升上界的天劫会伴有心魔，可怕程度并不比劫雷弱，而林轩因为修炼迅速，心性与同阶修士相比也大为不如，扛过心魔的可能性几乎是一点也无。
Lin Xuan smiled as he opened an jade box to reveal a strand of hair inside.
suī rán zài tōng dào huàn zhèn de shí hòu ， xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng céng jīng pò chú guò yī cì xīn mó ， dàn jiū jìng shì fǎ xiàng què shí yǒu zhè zhǒng tiān fù ， hái shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， lín xuān bìng bù gǎn kěn dìng de 。
虽然在通道幻阵的时候，小罗天法相曾经破除过一次心魔，但究竟是法相确实有这种天赋，还是机缘巧合，林轩并不敢肯定的。
It contained no trace of spiritual energy, otherwise, Wang Tinglou would not have been deceived. However, its ability to withstand millions of years without decay showed that it was extraordinary.
hé kuàng jié léi de xīn mó ， yǔ huàn zhèn zhōng de xīn mó ， shí yǒu **， kěn dìng shì bìng bù xiāng tóng de 。
何况劫雷的心魔，与幻阵中的心魔，十有**，肯定是并不相同的。
He held the hair and examined it closely; this was true immortal's hair. A drop of Arrogant King's blood had countless uses, so these hundreds of strands were invaluable.
zhè zhǒng shì qíng ， yí gè bù hǎo ， jiù huì mò luò shēn sǐ ， lín xuān jué bú huì shǎ shǎ de qù cháng shì 。
这种事情，一个不好，就会陌落身死，林轩绝不会傻傻的去尝试。
But he needed time to figure out how to use them.

望亭楼提议，让自己现在就硬扛天劫，表面上看，是一番好意，其实却包含有祸心在内里。
This did not mean they would be useless in the Spirit Realm.
dāng rán ， zì jǐ shì jué bú huì shàng dàng dì 。
当然，自己是绝不会上当地。
A green light flashed as the item disappeared, replaced by a broken talisman before his eyes.
hái shì yǔ jiě jiě yì qǐ ， zhǎo chuán sòng zhèn tōu dù qù líng jiè gèng wěn tuǒ yī xiē 。
还是与姐姐一起，找传送阵偷渡去灵界更稳妥一些。
As previously stated, no matter its original abilities or effects, since it was now broken, it had no further purpose.

只是不知道如嫣仙子现在身在哪晃林轩叹了口气，除了与姐姐分离，他此行的收获，倒确实是丰厚以极。
Lin Xuan and Wang Tinglou shared this understanding; only the two jade pendants in his storage pouch vibrated continuously when the talisman appeared, indicating that there might be something strange within.
"Friend, do you want this wooden box?"
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing these words. He did not immediately respond but his face gradually darkened.
"Not bad. Is there something wrong with that? Do you have any objections to it?"
Wang Tinglou noticed Lin Xuan's expression and felt a chill in his heart. Although he remained calm on the surface, he secretly began to prepare for potential conflict.
"Why ask such a question when you know the answer? We've gone through great lengths to find these treasures. I'm sure you've seen what they are. I won't waste your time with empty talk. Let's be clear: apart from the items in this wooden box, which seem valuable, the other three treasures are merely superficial."
"Then according to your opinion, how should we divide them?" Wang Tinglou did not get angry but spoke calmly.
"In my view, the items in the wooden box are not just one thing. We can split them evenly and then..."
"No way," Wang Tinglou interrupted before Lin Xuan could finish. This was actually at the behest of his master, the Dragon True Monarch.
"Earlier when we dealt with that ancient demon, it was your effort. Without you, theprohibition wouldn't have been broken either. Do you not think this is a bit too domineering?"
Lin Xuan's tone grew more severe. Yue'er stepped forward and stood beside him. They were about to fight for their lives.
Facing the renowned Wang Tinglou, Lin Xuan did not show any weakness.
Wang Tinglou's expression gradually calmed down.
He had seen Lin Xuan's abilities before; even if they joined forces with that woman, he would be hard-pressed to win against him.
"Alright. I'm no bully. Your words have some merit. The remaining three treasures can all go to you, but the items in the wooden box must belong to me. If not, we'll settle this by force."
"Umm..."
Lin Xuan's face showed hesitation as he looked at the wooden box. He seemed reluctant to part with it, though he was too powerful for such a display of weakness.
Seeing Lin Xuan's reluctance, Wang Tinglou smiled and quickly produced an exquisite jade box from his waist: "If you still feel cheated, I'll give you five top-grade crystal stones. Even in the Spirit Realm, these will be useful. I'm sure this will satisfy you."
The lid of the box opened to reveal a rainbow glow. Indeed, there were five crystals with different elemental properties.
Lin Xuan's expression turned satisfied: "Friend, your sincerity is commendable. If I insist on keeping it, that would seem unreasonable. Fine, these three treasures may not have much use, but they are still valuable. The top-grade crystal stones are rare, and this trip won't be in vain."
"Ha! Your choice is wise. We've come so far; why make a fuss?" Wang Tinglou stroked his beard and sighed with relief.
With the agreement reached, things would go smoothly from here. Lin Xuan reluctantly looked at the wooden box before sighing and putting on his sleeves. A beam of light flew out to wrap up the remaining three treasures. Afterward, he put away the five top-grade crystal stones as well.
Seeing this, Wang Tinglou did not hesitate either and hid the wooden box in his palm.
After dividing all the treasures, they could not be said to have achieved complete satisfaction, but at least both of them had gained something. They were much luckier than those fallen cultivators.
Of course, it was more than just luck; their strength was unmatched by other cultivators.
In survival of the fittest, the cultivation world was always fair in its own way.
After dividing the treasures, they did not leave immediately but thoroughly inspected the entire underground palace to ensure there were no hidden items. Only then did they gather and discuss.
"Since our goal has been achieved, I won't delay any longer and will return by the same path. What do you think?" Lin Xuan said slowly.
"I agree. Once this matter is settled, there won't be many treasures left on Penglai Mountain. We have little time left. I plan to meditate somewhere until the Netherworld Gate opens, then leave from here."
"Oh?" Lin Xuan nodded and glanced at the cultivator in front of him: "Your luck is great; you are the top expert of the Twelve States of Tianyun. You've reached the peak of Separation Realm. I'm sure you can pass your heavenly tribulation without issue. In the Spirit Realm, you'll surely achieve great things. Congratulations."
"Such words make me feel humble. After two thousand years of hard work, I achieved this. But you are so young with only initial Separation Realm strength yet have countless abilities and a reverse-defying power. Your strength is formidable enough to match mine. If I can pass the heavenly tribulation, what problem could you possibly have? Would you like to ascend to the Spirit Realm with me?" Wang Tinglou's face showed a bitter smile: "The next wave will push ahead."
"Hmm, let's talk about it later."
Lin Xuan's face glowed as he was flattered. He bowed to Wang Tinglou and then turned into a beam of yellow light, leaving the underground palace.
Knowing that he had valuable treasures, Lin Xuan had no interest in leaving with him.
Who knew if the old monster would turn hostile halfway through?
As for his offer of breaking the tribulation, Lin Xuan did not listen to it.
While he might match Wang Tinglou's strength with his abilities and treasures, he could at least defend himself. But the tribulation was different from power; the mind was another matter.
He had confidence in surviving the lightning bolts but doubted his ability to withstand the heart demons that accompanied them. His quick progression made him less mentally resilient compared to peers, making it almost impossible for him to pass such a test.
Although the Deva Realm Dharmakaya had once broken through a heart demon during their journey, Lin Xuan was not sure if it was due to its innate abilities or just luck.
Regardless, he would not risk it. Wang Tinglou's suggestion to face the tribulation now seemed well-meaning but harbored hidden motives.
Instead, he planned to use the teleportation array with his sister for a safer passage.
He wondered where Fairy Yuanyan was now. Lin Xuan sighed; this trip had indeed been fruitful despite the separation from his sister.
Thinking of the three treasures from the true immortal, Lin Xuan felt excited. These were not mere trifles but valuable items he had cleverly obtained.
The old monster's intelligence was wasted on such a trick. He had easily fallen for it and even offered five top-grade crystal stones in exchange.
Lin Xuan smiled as he opened an jade box to reveal a strand of hair inside.
It contained no trace of spiritual energy, otherwise, Wang Tinglou would not have been deceived. However, its ability to withstand millions of years without decay showed that it was extraordinary.
He held the hair and examined it closely; this was true immortal's hair. A drop of Arrogant King's blood had countless uses, so these hundreds of strands were invaluable.
But he needed time to figure out how to use them.
This did not mean they would be useless in the Spirit Realm.
A green light flashed as the item disappeared, replaced by a broken talisman before his eyes.
As previously stated, no matter its original abilities or effects, since it was now broken, it had no further purpose.
Lin Xuan and Wang Tinglou shared this understanding; only the two jade pendants in his storage pouch vibrated continuously when the talisman appeared, indicating that there might be something strange within.
