zuì chū lín xuān hái wēi wēi yǒu xiē chà yì ， bù guò lüè yī sī liáng jiù míng bái le qí zhōng de dào lǐ ， tiān chén dān ， rén rén dōu xiǎng yào dé zhī ， lái zhè ér de xiū shì zì rán shì hù xiāng chōng mǎn le dí yì 。
最初林轩还微微有些诧异，不过略一思量就明白了其中的道理，天尘丹，人人都想要得之，来这儿的修士自然是互相充满了敌意。
Initially, Lin Xuan was slightly surprised. However, after a moment's thought, he understood the logic behind it: everyone wanted the Heavenly Dust Pill, so naturally, all the cultivators here were filled with hostility towards each other.
cǐ shí nǎ hái yǒu zhèng xié zhī fēn ， gēn běn jiù shì ** luǒ de ruò ròu qiáng shí ， qīng chú yì jǐ ， zhè yàng zì jǐ dé dào líng yào de jī huì jiù gèng dà yī xiē 。
此时哪还有正邪之分，根本就是**裸的弱肉强食，清除异己，这样自己得到灵药的机会就更大一些。
At this point, there was no distinction between good and evil; it was simply a brutal struggle for survival, eliminating rivals to increase one’s chances of obtaining spiritual herbs.
yú shì dān tiāo ， qún ōu ， tōu xí ， gè zhǒng gè yàng de zhàn dòu fāng shì ， wú suǒ bù yòng qí jí 。
于是单挑，群殴，偷袭，各种各样的战斗方式，无所不用其极。
Thus, single combat, group attacks, ambushes—every possible fighting method was employed to the extreme.
“ yī qún bái chī ！”
“一群白痴！”
"一群白痴！"
lín xuān lěng lěng de hēng le yī shēng ， dàn yě míng bái zì jǐ suǒ chù de huán jìng shí zài shì xiǎn è yǐ jí ， gèng jiā de xiǎo xīn yì yì ， tā kě bù xiǎng bèi wú wèi de zhàn dòu juǎn jìn qù 。
林轩冷冷的哼了一声，但也明白自己所处的环境实在是险恶以极，更加的小心翼翼，他可不想被无谓的战斗卷进去。
Lin Xuan coldly snorted. However, he also realized that his environment was extremely perilous and took even more precautions. He didn't want to get caught up in pointless battles.
huò xǔ shì yùn qì bù cuò ， huò xǔ shì yǐn cáng xiū wèi de jì cè zhēn de qǐ dào de xiào guǒ ， zǒng zhī lín xuān yī lù xíng lái ， bìng méi yù jiàn yǒu rén dǎ tā de zhǔ yì 。
或许是运气不错，或许是隐藏修为的计策真的起到的效果，总之林轩一路行来，并没遇见有人打他的主意。
Perhaps by sheer luck or because concealing his cultivation had worked, Lin Xuan encountered no one who intended to harm him as he traveled.
jiù zhè yàng yǒu jīng wú xiǎn de yòu fēi le bàn tiān ， tài yáng yǐ jīng jiàn jiàn de là le xià lái ， lín xuān kàn zhuó yǎn qián de jǐng wù ， tū rán tíng xià dùn guāng ， yī fǎn shǒu ， qǔ chū nà yìn yǒu kuí yīn shān mài dì tú de yù tǒng jiǎn ， jiāng shén shí chén le jìn qù 。
就这样有惊无险的又飞了半天，太阳已经渐渐的落了下来，林轩看着眼前的景物，突然停下遁光，一反手，取出那印有奎阴山脉地图的玉筒简，将神识沉了进去。
After a day of flight, the sun began to set. Lin Xuan stopped his遁光 and, with a flick of his sleeve, retrieved the jade cylinder containing a map of the Ku Yin Mountains. He sank his spirit into it.
piàn kè hòu ， lín xuān yī fú xiù ， jiāng yù tǒng shōu hǎo ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī gǔ guài de shén sè ， tái tóu wàng xiàng bù yuǎn chù de yī zuò dà shān 。
片刻后，林轩一拂袖，将玉筒收好，脸上露出一丝古怪的神色，抬头望像不远处的一座大山。
A moment later, Lin Xuan folded his sleeves and put away the jade cylinder, his face showing a strange expression as he looked at a nearby mountain.
jù yù tǒng lǐ suǒ yán ， zhè zuò shān jiù shì fēn jiè xiàn ， zài wǎng nán ， jiù jìn rù le shàng wèi bèi xiū shì men tàn suǒ de dì diǎn 。
据玉筒里所言，这座山就是分界线，再往南，就进入了尚未被修士们探索的地点。
According to the information in the jade cylinder, this was the dividing line; going south would lead to unexplored territories by cultivators.
lín xuān zì rán bú huì shǎ shǎ de mào rán shēn rù ， nà lǐ kě shì lián chéng qún jié duì de sān jiē yāo shòu dōu yǒu ， bié shuō zì jǐ ， jiù suàn shì níng dān qī gāo shǒu ， jìn qù yǐ hòu ， yí bù xiǎo xīn ， yě kě néng dān suì yǔn luò 。 tiān shā mó jūn ， gāi bú huì táo qù nà lǐ le ba ！
林轩自然不会傻傻的冒然深入，那里可是连成群结队的三阶妖兽都有，别说自己，就算是凝丹期高手，进去以后，一不小心，也可能丹碎陨落。天煞魔君，该不会逃去那里了吧！
Lin Xuan wouldn't rashly venture there. After all, it was home to groups of third-stage monsters. Even condensation core experts might fall victim to an accident. Could Demon Tyrant Sovereign Tianzhu have fled there?
lín xuān zhèng zhè me xiǎng zhe ， tū rán shén sè yī dòng 。 rán hòu jiù miàn lù xǐ sè de cháo zhe yí gè dì fāng fēi qù le 。
林轩正这么想着，突然神色一动。然后就面露喜色的朝着一个地方飞去了。
As Lin Xuan pondered this, his expression suddenly changed as he flew towards a particular spot with joy.
piàn kè hòu ， lín xuān lái dào le yī piàn kòng dì ， ér zhè lǐ 。 yǐng yǐng chuò chuò de hái yǒu shù bǎi rén zhī duō ， qí zhōng 。 zài yě méi yǒu líng dòng qī dì dì zǐ ， zhì shǎo dōu shì zhù jī chéng gōng hòu de xiū shì ， shèn zhì lín xuān hái gǎn jué dào shù gǔ yì cháng qiáng dà de shén shí ， kàn lái lián níng dān qī dì gāo shǒu yě hùn zá qí zhōng 。
片刻后，林轩来到了一片空地，而这里。影影绰绰的还有数百人之多，其中。再也没有灵动期地弟子，至少都是筑基成功后的修士，甚至林轩还感觉到数股异常强大的神识，看来连凝丹期地高手也混杂其中。
After a while, Lin Xuan arrived at an open space where hundreds of people were gathered. There were no more disciples in the Flexible Spirit Period; they were all cultivators who had successfully established their foundations, and even several extraordinarily powerful spirit senses could be felt, indicating that condensation core experts were also present.
yú shì lín xuān yě bù zài yǐn cáng xiū wèi 。 bì jìng zhǐ yǒu zì jǐ shì líng dòng qī fǎn ér yǐn rén zhù yì 。
于是林轩也不再隐藏修为。毕竟只有自己是灵动期反而引人注意。
Lin Xuan no longer concealed his cultivation because being a Flexible Spirit expert made him stand out. He noticed many people with injuries, having clearly endured fierce battles. However, those who managed to reach here must possess extraordinary abilities.
lín xuān fā xiàn bù shǎo rén shēn shàng dài shāng ， kàn lái dōu shì jīng lì guò xuè zhàn ， bù guò néng gòu yī lù shā dào zhè lǐ ， kěn dìng yǒu zhe fēi fán de shǒu duàn 。
林轩发现不少人身上带伤，看来都是经历过血战，不过能够一路杀到这里，肯定有着非凡的手段。
The air seemed to have frozen as these cultivators gathered due to the Heavenly Dust Pill; they couldn't be friendly towards each other, filled with mutual hostility. The situation was like dry wood waiting for a spark to ignite a major conflict.
kōng qì fǎng fú níng gù le yì bān 。 yóu yú tiān chén dān 。 zhè xiē xiū shì jù zài yì qǐ ， zì rán tán bù shàng yǒu hǎo ， xiāng hù zhī jiān chōng mǎn le dí yì ， rú jīn dì xíng shì ， jiù xiàng shì gān kū de chái huǒ ， zhǐ xū yào yì diǎn diǎn huǒ xīng ， jiù kě néng yǐn fā dà zhàn 。
空气仿佛凝固了一般。由于天尘丹。这些修士聚在一起，自然谈不上友好，相互之间充满了敌意，如今地形式，就像是干枯的柴火，只需要一点点火星，就可能引发大战。
From their attire, it was clear that these hundreds of cultivators belonged to several dozen factions. If they fought, it would likely turn into a chaotic battle.
cóng fú zhuāng kě yǐ kàn chū ， zhè shù bǎi xiū shì lì shǔ yú shí jǐ gè shì lì ， zhēn dǎ qǐ lái 。 jiāng shì yī cháng xī lǐ hú tú de dà hùn zhàn 。
从服装可以看出，这数百修士隶属于十几个势力，真打起来。将是一场稀里糊涂的大混战。
They noticed Lin Xuan but merely glanced at him; he was just an ordinary wanderer with no significant threat.
tā men yě zhù yì dào le lín xuān 。 dàn jǐn jǐn shì sǎo le yī yǎn ， qū qū yí gè sàn xiū 。 xíng dān yǐng zhī ， méi yǒu shén me wēi xié 。
他们也注意到了林轩。但仅仅是扫了一眼，区区一个散修。形单影只，没有什么威胁。
Disregarding the other party's contempt, Lin Xuan felt relieved. In this situation, the less attention he drew, the better his chances of seizing the opportunity.
duì fāng qīng shì ， lín xuān bù nù fǎn xǐ ， xiàn zài zhè zhǒng xíng shì ， yuè bù yǐn rén zhù yì ， yuè yǒu jī huì hún shuǐ mō yú 。
对方轻视，林轩不怒反喜，现在这种形势，越不引人注意，越有机会浑水摸鱼。
He didn't approach them and instead observed from a distance. Strange, why were they all second-rate sects?
tā méi yǒu fēi dào jìn qián ， ér shì zài yī páng lěng yǎn páng guān 。 qí guài ， zěn me dōu shì xiē èr liú mén pài ！”
他没有飞到近前，而是在一旁冷眼旁观。奇怪，怎么都是些二流门派！”
Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface but privately wondered why none of the three major factions—Great Demon Cave, Li Hai Gang, and Yin Sha Sect—had shown up after he had killed some disciples from Green Cloud Mountain yesterday.
lín xuān biǎo miàn bù dòng shēng sè ， xīn zhōng què àn àn dí gū ， zuó tiān zì jǐ hái zhǎn shā le bì yún shān de dì zǐ ， kě yǎn qián ， sān jù tóu dì rén què yí gè yě méi yǒu chū xiàn 。
林轩表面不动声色，心中却暗暗嘀咕，昨天自己还斩杀了碧云山的弟子，可眼前，三巨头地人却一个也没有出现。
The same was true for the major forces in the demon realm. Lin Xuan frowned; he didn't believe these major powers in Youzhou would be indifferent to the Heavenly Dust Pill.
bù zhǐ shì zhèng dào ， mó dào shì lì zuì dà de sān pài ， jí mó dòng ， lì guǐ bāng ， yīn shā jiào yě tóng yàng yí gè méi lái 。
不止是正道，魔道势力最大的三派，极魔洞，厉鬼帮，阴煞教也同样一个没来。
Logically speaking, their interest should have been even greater since many of these sects boasted condensation core experts. With the Heavenly Dust Pill, they might upgrade to infant spirit stage monsters.
lín xuān zhòu le zhòu méi ， tā kě bù xìn zhè xiē yōu zhōu zuì dà de shì lì duì tiān chén dān huì bù gǎn xìng qù 。
林轩皱了皱眉，他可不信这些幽州最大的势力对天尘丹会不感兴趣。
Such an opportunity was too good to miss!
àn lǐ shuō ， tā men de xìng qù hái yīng gāi gèng dà yī xiē ， yīn wèi zhè xiē mén pài ， dōu bù fá níng dān qī gāo shǒu ， yǒu le tiān chén dān ， jiù jí yǒu kě néng jiāng qí shēng jí wèi yuán yīng qī dì guài wù 。
按理说，他们的兴趣还应该更大一些，因为这些门派，都不乏凝丹期高手，有了天尘丹，就极有可能将其升级为元婴期地怪物。
Lin Xuan pondered this and then quietly retreated a bit, hiding in a concealed spot when no one was looking. He released his spirit sense to scan the surroundings.
rú cǐ jī huì ， shí zài shì méi yǒu lǐ yóu cuò guò ！
如此机会，实在是没有理由错过！
However, Lin Xuan's face showed a strange expression after just a moment. Without hesitation, he took out a Concealment Pill from his pocket and swallowed it. If he hadn't been mistaken, there were actually two groups of cultivators lurking around him, each with dozens of members.
lín xuān zài xīn zhōng sī liáng ， rán hòu yòu qiāo qiāo tuì chū le yī duàn jù lí ， chèn rén bù zhù yì ， zhǎo le yī chù yǐn bì zhī dì ， tōu tōu dì zàng le qǐ lái 。
林轩在心中思量，然后又悄悄退出了一段距离，趁人不注意，找了一处隐蔽之地，偷偷地藏了起来。
Their cultivation levels were exceptionally high; every group had several condensation core experts. Fortunately, they were all focused on the impending battle, so they didn't notice him.
rán hòu tā fàng chū shén shí ， sǎo miáo zhe zài zhōu wéi de dòng jìng 。
然后他放出神识，扫描着在周围的动静。
Lin Xuan sighed in relief and quickly concealed his aura.
dàn jǐn jǐn shì piàn kè hòu ， lín xuān liǎn shàng jiù lù chū le yī sī gǔ guài de biǎo qíng 。
但仅仅是片刻后，林轩脸上就露出了一丝古怪的表情。
Who could these people be? They seemed to want to benefit from others' efforts, Lin Xuan thought, but he no longer dared to use his spirit sense to investigate further.
rán hòu bù jiǎ sī suǒ de cóng huái lǐ tāo chū yǐn líng dān ， tūn fú le xià qù ， rú guǒ zì jǐ gāng cái méi yǒu nòng cuò de huà ， zài zhè zhōu wéi ， jū rán hái qián cáng zhe liǎng qún xiū shì ， ér qiě měi yī qún dōu yǒu shù shí rén zhī duō 。
然后不假思索的从怀里掏出隐灵丹，吞服了下去，如果自己刚才没有弄错的话，在这周围，居然还潜藏着两群修士，而且每一群都有数十人之多。
It appeared that this Heavenly Dust Pill's emergence had involved major forces from both the Daoist and demon realms; the water was indeed muddier now.
qiě xiū wèi gāo dé chū qí ， měi yī huǒ jū rán dōu yǒu qī bā míng níng dān qī de gāo shǒu ， hǎo zài tā men dōu zhù yì zhuó yǎn qián yī chù jí fā de dà zhàn ， suǒ yǐ cái méi yǒu fā xiàn zì jǐ 。
且修为高得出奇，每一伙居然都有七八名凝丹期的高手，好在他们都注意着眼前一触即发的大战，所以才没有发现自己。
Just then, a series of shouts and curses came from ahead. A large head was severed by a red flash.
lín xuān àn hū jiǎo xìng ， lián máng quán lì shōu liǎn qì xī 。
林轩暗呼侥幸，连忙全力收敛气息。
"Blue family, you dare to kill!" an angry woman's voice.
zhè xiē rén jiū jìng shì shuí ne ， yī fù xiǎng yào yú rén dé lì de yàng zi ， lín xuān zài xīn zhōng àn àn cāi cè ， dàn què zài yě bù gǎn mào xiǎn yòng shén shí chá tàn le 。
这些人究竟是谁呢，一副想要渔人得利的样子，林轩在心中暗暗猜测，但却再也不敢冒险用神识查探了。
"Hmph, what if I did? That guy was rude in Giant Ape City; he deserved his fate long ago. The only reason he escaped last time is that he got lucky."
kàn lái zhè cì tiān chén dān chū shì ， qiān chě le zhèng mó liǎng dào de gè dà shì lì ， shuǐ shì yuè lái yuè hún le 。
看来这次天尘丹出世，牵扯了正魔两道的各大势力，水是越来越浑了。
"How about you, Third Mother Geng? Are you seeking revenge for your co-cultivator?"
ér jiù zài zhè shí ， qián fāng chuán lái yī zhèn hū hè jiào mà zhī shēng ， zhǐ jiàn hóng máng yī shǎn ， yī tóu dà hǎo dì tóu lú yǐ bèi gē le xià lái 。
而就在这时，前方传来一阵呼喝叫骂之声，只见红芒一闪，一头大好地头颅已被割了下来。
"I…." The woman's face showed both grief and fear as she considered the other party's power.
“ xìng lán dì ， nǐ gǎn dòng shǒu shā rén 。” yī jīng nù jiāo jí de nǚ zǐ shēng yīn 。
“姓蓝地，你敢动手杀人。”一惊怒交集的女子声音。
The old man's expression became even more arrogant. He leered at her: "Third Mother Geng, now that your husband is dead, why not join me? You'll have plenty of benefits on this path."
“ hēng ， shā le yòu rú hé ， zhè jiā huo shàng cì zài jù yuán chéng duì lǎo fū wú lǐ ， zǎo jiù sǐ yǒu yú gū ， zhǐ bù guò nà cì jiǎo xìng ràng tā pǎo tuō ， ràng tā duō huó le xiē shí rì bà le 。”
“哼，杀了又如何，这家伙上次在巨猿城对老夫无礼，早就死有余辜，只不过那次侥幸让他跑脱，让他多活了些时日罢了。”
"Ugh!" Before she could speak, a tall man over two meters high beside her suddenly erupted in anger: "Blue Yan Tian, don't talk nonsense here. Although our Sea Dragon Sect is powerful, Ice River Nine Companions are no pushovers either. You killed my comrade and now you have improper thoughts towards his widow; that's too much."
“ zěn me ， gěng sān niáng ， nǐ xiǎng yào wèi nǐ dì shuāng xiū dào lǚ bào chóu me ？”
“怎么，耿三娘，你想要为你地双修道侣报仇么？”
"Hmph, Ice River Nine Companions—just a bunch of wandering spirits. Third Mother Geng, think carefully. Don't rush into things with these brutes; you'll regret it later."
“ wǒ ……” nà nǚ zǐ mǎn liǎn bēi fèn ， kě xiǎng zhe duì fāng de xiū wèi yǐ jí shēn hòu de qiáng dà shí lì ， liǎn shàng yòu lù chū le yī sī wèi jù 。
“我……”那女子满脸悲愤，可想着对方的修为以及身后的强大实力，脸上又露出了一丝畏惧。
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the Sea Dragon Sect cultivators surrounded the nine scattered individuals including her, weapons drawn, ready for battle.
Initially, Lin Xuan was slightly surprised. However, after a moment's thought, he understood the logic behind it: everyone wanted the Heavenly Dust Pill, so naturally, all the cultivators here were filled with hostility towards each other.
At this point, there was no distinction between good and evil; it was simply a brutal struggle for survival, eliminating rivals to increase one’s chances of obtaining spiritual herbs.

"一群白痴！"
Lin Xuan coldly snorted. However, he also realized that his environment was extremely perilous and took even more precautions. He didn't want to get caught up in pointless battles.
