lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu yī zhǒng qiáng liè de kě wàng ， zài rén jiè zhī shí ， zhè zhǒng niàn tou yě céng jīng chū xiàn guò ， bù guò nà shí hòu ， yě zhǐ shì xiǎng xiǎng 。
林轩心中有一种强烈的渴望，在人界之时，这种念头也曾经出现过，不过那时候，也只是想想。
Lin Xuan felt a strong desire deep within him. This urge had also appeared when he was in the human world, but back then, it was just a thought.
zhè zhǒng děng jí de bǎo wù ， dōu shì shàng gǔ shí qī xiū shì cóng líng jiè dài xià lái de ， suǒ liàn zhì xī men de cái liào ， rén jiè gēn běn jiù bù céng yǒu guò ， yòu tán hé xiū fù ne ？
这种等级的宝物，都是上古时期修士从灵界带下来的，所炼制牺们的材料，人界根本就不曾有过，又谈何修复呢？
Such grade treasures were brought down from the Spirit Realm by cultivators of ancient times. The materials used to forge them did not exist in the human world, so how could they be repaired?
dàn líng jiè bù tóng ， suī rán kùn nán yě hěn duō ， dàn jué fēi yì diǎn xī wàng yě wú ， guān jiàn jiù kàn zì jǐ zěn me qù bǎ wò ， zhè xū yào nǔ lì yǔ jī yuán qiǎo hé 。
但灵界不同，虽然困难也很多，但绝非一点希望也无，关键就看自己怎么去把握，这需要努力与机缘巧合。
However, things were different in the Spirit Realm. Although there were many difficulties, there was still hope. It all came down to how one grasped these opportunities—effort and a bit of luck.
“ yǒu jī huì ” yí dìng yào jiāng mó yuán jiàn xiū fù 。”
“有机会”一定要将魔缘剑修复。”
"Whenever possible, I must repair the Demon Fate Sword."
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ de shuō 。
林轩喃喃自语的说。
Lin Xuan muttered to himself.
chú le qīng huǒ jiàn bèi huǐ ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán de biǎo xiàn ， yě bù jìn rú rén yì 。
除了青火剑被毁，九天明月环的表现，也不尽如人意。
Apart from the Green Flame Sword being destroyed, the Nine Heaven Moon Ring did not perform as expected. Although this innate treasure had long been despised by Lin Xuan, its power still left him satisfied.
suī rán cǐ běn mìng fǎ bǎo ， lín xuān zǎo jiù dà gǎn xián qì ， dàn bǎi lóng zhī yá de wēi lì ， hái shì ràng tā mǎn yì 。
虽然此本命法宝，林轩早就大感嫌弃，但百龙之牙的威力，还是让他满意。
But this time, it was easily neutralized by an old demon. While the Nine Heaven Moon Ring wasn't entirely useless, it seemed rather redundant.
kě zhè yī huí ， jū rán rú cǐ qīng yì jiù bèi lǎo mó huà jiě ， cǐ bǎo bù néng shuō wú yī shì chù ， dàn què shí xiǎn de yǒu xiē tài guò jī lèi le 。
可这一回，居然如此轻易就被老魔化解，此宝不能说无一是处，但确实显得有些太过鸡肋了。
It was a waste to discard but also regrettable to keep. This experience finally solidified Lin Xuan's resolve: no matter what, he had to replace his innate treasure.
shí zhī wú wèi ， qì zhī kě xī ， zhè cì de jīng lì ， ràng lín xuān zhōng yú jiāng jué xīn xià dìng ， wú lùn rú hé ， zhè běn mìng fǎ bǎo yě dé huàn le cái xíng 。
食之无味，弃之可惜，这次的经历，让林轩终于将决心下定，无论如何，这本命法宝也得换了才行。
Of course, this couldn't be rushed. The importance of an innate treasure for cultivators was self-evident.
dāng rán ， cǐ shì jí bù dé ， běn mìng fǎ bǎo duì xiū shì de zhòng yào xìng shì bù yán ér yù 。
当然，此事急不得，本命法宝对修士的重要性是不言而喻。
If it needed replacement, it should be with a better one that could still be used even in the Tribulation Period.
rú guǒ yào huàn ， jiù yí dìng yào huàn gè hǎo de ， nǎ pà xiū liàn dào dù jié qī yě yī jiù kě yǐ yòng dé 。
如果要换，就一定要换个好的，哪怕修炼到渡劫期也依旧可以用得。
From failure came wisdom. Lin Xuan would not make the same mistake twice regarding the Nine Heaven Moon Ring's shortcomings.
chī yī qiàn ， zhǎng yī zhì ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán de cuò wù ， lín xuān jué bú huì shǎ shǎ de zài fàn dì èr cì 。
吃一堑，长一智，九天明月环的错误，林轩绝不会傻傻的再犯第二次。
As for his techniques, the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire continued to shine brightly and did not disappoint him. The Nine Heavens Micro-step was also good, but it was still inadequate against a Profound Void Period demon. Without the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Nectar to restore his strength, things might have turned out much worse.
zhì yú shén tōng ， huàn líng tiān huǒ yī jiù dà fàng yì cǎi ， méi yǒu ràng zì jǐ shī wàng ， jiǔ tiān wēi bù yě bù cuò ， bù guò miàn duì dòng xuán qī lǎo mó ， hái shì zhuō jīn jiàn zhǒu ， ruò bú shì yǒu wàn nián líng rǔ kě yǐ jiāng zì jǐ de tǐ lì huī fù zhè cì de xià chǎng kě jiù cǎn le 。
至于神通，幻灵天火依旧大放异彩，没有让自己失望，九天微步也不错，不过面对洞玄期老魔，还是捉襟见肘，若不是有万年灵乳可以将自己的体力恢复这次的下场可就惨了。
"Past lessons for future guidance," Lin Xuan thought. If given another chance, he would surely delve into the other Five Elementsevasion technique.
qián shì bù wàng hòu shì zhī shī ” yǐ hòu ruò yǒu jī huì ， qí yú de wǔ xíng dùn shù ， yě yào hǎo hǎo shè liè yī fān de 。
前事不忘后事之师”以后若有机会，其余的五行遁术，也要好好涉猎一番的。
Additionally, there was the Jade Spider Bee. Although it had not been put to use yet, Lin Xuan wasn't in a hurry. The demon's reaction after seeing this insect still lingered in his mind.
hái yǒu jiù shì yù luó fēng ， zhè mó chóng méi yǒu pài shàng yòng tú ， bù guò lín xuān bù jí ， lǎo mó jiàn dào cǐ chóng hòu liǎn sè dà biàn hòu de biǎo qíng hái liú zài nǎo hǎi lǐ 。
还有就是玉罗蜂，这魔虫没有派上用途，不过林轩不急，老魔见到此虫后脸色大变后的表情还留在脑海里。
"Too bad it’s just a larva."
“ kě xī shì yòu chóng 。”
“可惜是幼虫。”
The demon had said that once. This made Lin Xuan both worried and hopeful. Worried because the growth cycle of this demon insect was too slow, and he didn’t know how long it would take to mature. Hopeful because the Jade Spider Bee's power was indeed formidable; even a Profound Void Period demon seemed wary of it.
duì fāng céng zhè me shuō le yī jù 。
对方曾这么说了一句。
Lin Xuan had anticipated this in the human world. The True Immortal Tongyu once mentioned that the insect contained time poison. They had personally witnessed aninfant soul stage cultivator’s lifespan being consumed in an instant, leading to their death.
zhè ràng lín xuān yòu yōu yòu xǐ ， yōu de shì ， zhè mó chóng shēng zhǎng de zhōu qī wèi miǎn yě tài guò huǎn màn bù zhī dào hái xū yào duō me màn cháng de shí jiān 。
这让林轩又忧又喜，忧的是，这魔虫生长的周期未免也太过缓慢不知道还需要多么漫长的时间。
It was regrettable how difficult it would be to mature this insect. If only it were more developed, he could have easily dominated much of the human world with the Jade Spider Bee.
xǐ de shì ， yù luó fēng wēi lì guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lián dòng xuán qī lǎo mó yě dà gǎn jì dàn de 。
喜的是，玉罗蜂威力果然非同小可，连洞玄期老魔也大感忌惮的。
With a smile on his lips, Lin Xuan shook his head. Relying on external tools wasn't the right path; one had to rely on oneself and not be complacent in cultivation.
bù guò zhè yì diǎn ， lín xuān zài rén jiè zhī shí ， jiù zǎo yǒu yù liào ， tōng yǔ zhēn rén céng shuō ， cǐ chóng hán yǒu shí jiān zhī dú ， tā men qīn shēn tǐ yàn guò yī wèi yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， chà nà jiān jiù hào jìn shù bǎi nián shòu lóng ， huó shēng shēng lǎo sǐ diào le 。
不过这一点，林轩在人界之时，就早有预料，通羽真人曾说，此虫含有时间之毒，他们亲身体验过一位元婴期修仙者，刹那间就耗尽数百年寿笼，活生生老死掉了。
To enhance his strength, he needed to walk the righteous path through diligent practice. Once his realm improved, finding materials for forging treasures would become easier.
kě xī xiǎng yào jiāng cǐ chóng cuī shú ， tài guò jiān nán shēng sè fǒu zé píng zhe yù luó fēng ， xiǎng bì zì jǐ jiù kě yǐ zòng héng dà bàn gè rén jiè le 。
可惜想要将此虫催熟，太过艰难生涩否则凭着玉罗蜂，想必自己就可以纵横大半个人界了。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan decided not to linger on this small coral island any longer. Thevital energy here was too thin, and he needed to find a better place with superior energy channels.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， yáo le yáo tóu ， jiè yòng wài wù ， bú shì zhèng tú ， rén ， hái shì yào kào zì jǐ ， xiū wèi jìng jiè zuò bù dé xū 。
想到这里林轩嘴角边流露出一丝笑意，摇了摇头，借用外物，不是正途，人，还是要靠自己，修为境界做不得虚。
However, there were still some matters to handle from this trip. Although the journey had been fraught with challenges, it had also brought many benefits. For example, raiding the Ten Thousand Beast Island had yielded vast amounts of wealth; nearly a hundred shops in the marketplace had been looted, and the treasure vaults of the Ten Thousand Beast Venerable contained countless crystals and treasures accumulated over thousands of years.
xiǎng yào tí gāo shí lì ， nǔ lì xiū xíng zǒu zhèng jīng ， zhǐ yào jìng jiè shàng qù ， xiǎng yào xún zhǎo cái liào liàn zhì bǎo wù yě huì xiāng duì de róng yì 。
想要提高实力，努力修行走正经，只要境界上去，想要寻找材料炼制宝物也会相对的容易。
He packed all this into his Momentary Bag and now needed to carefully inventory it. Some would be kept for personal use, while others could be exchanged for crystals; he couldn't afford to be careless.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò lín xuān bìng méi yǒu dǎ suàn zài zhè xiǎo xiǎo de shān hú dǎo shàng duō zuò dān gē ， cǐ dì de líng qì tài guò xī bó ， yào xiū liàn yě yào chóng xīn xún fǎng yī líng mài yōu yì de dì diǎn 。
脑海中念头转过林轩并没有打算在这小小的珊瑚岛上多做耽搁，此地的灵气太过稀薄，要修炼也要重新寻访一灵脉优异的地点。
After a day and a night, Lin Xuan's face was filled with joy. Although the total value might have some discrepancies, he estimated that it wouldn’t be less than five or six hundred million crystals.
bù guò ， cǐ shì bù jí ， cǐ xíng hái yǒu yī xiē dōng xī xū yào chǔ lǐ 。
不过，此事不急，此行还有一些东西需要处理。
This would provide him with astronomical wealth, ensuring his cultivation needs for an extended period without worrying about crystal stones.
zhè yī cì suí hóng yè wài chū suī lì jīng bō zhé ， dàn yě dé dào le xǔ duō hǎo chù bié de bù shuō ， jié lüè wàn shòu dǎo kě shì dé dào le dà pī de cái huò ， fāng shì zhōng jìn bǎi jiā diàn pù ， bèi zì jǐ xǐ jié yī kōng ， hái yǒu wàn shòu zūn zhě de bǎo kù ， lǐ miàn kě yǒu lǎo guài wù shù qiān nián lái jī zǎn xià lái de jīng shí bǎo wù ， quán dōu bèi lín xuān háo bú kè qì de xiào nà le 。
这一次随红叶外出虽历经波折，但也得到了许多好处别的不说，劫掠万兽岛可是得到了大批的财货，坊市中近百家店铺，被自己洗劫一空，还有万兽尊者的宝库，里面可有老怪物数千年来积攒下来的晶石宝物，全都被林轩毫不客气的笑纳了。
A calm morning greeted Lin Xuan as the sun pierced through the clouds. Early-morning seabirds were already out hunting, circling low over the sea and occasionally resting on the small island. The scene was serene, shrouded in thick fog that hadn't yet dissipated even with the rising sun.
dāng shí shì quán bù zhuāng rù xū yú dài ， rú jīn zì rán xū yào hǎo hǎo pán diǎn ， huò liú zuò zì yòng ， huò huàn chéng jīng shí ， zhè yì diǎn ， mǎ hǔ bù dé 。
当时是全部装入须臾袋，如今自然需要好好盘点，或留作自用，或换成晶石，这一点，马虎不得。
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared from afar, two streaks of energy racing towards the coral island at high speed. Lin Xuan raised his head; he couldn’t miss such intense fluctuations in spiritual power.
yī tiān yī è yè zhī hòu ， lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì xǐ sè ， suī rán cái huò tài duō ， zǒng jià zhí gū jì kěn dìng huì yǒu yī xiē chū rù ， bù guò gēn jù zì jǐ tuī cè ， jué duì bú huì shǎo yú wǔ liù yì jīng shí de 。
一天一垩夜之后，林轩脸上满是喜色，虽然财货太多，总价值估计肯定会有一些出入，不过根据自己推测，绝对不会少于五六亿晶石的。
They were at the Separation Stage and accompanied by strong demonic aura.
biàn shì duì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， yě shì tiān wén shù zì ， zhè ràng zì jǐ zài wèi lái hěn zhǎng yī duàn shí jiān de xiū xíng zhōng ， kě yǐ bù quē jīng shí 。
便是对洞玄期修仙者，也是天文数字，这让自己在未来很长一段时间的修行中，可以不缺晶石。
Could it be that they were passing through?
lín xuān xīn zhōng àn xǐ ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī shì yàng gǔ piáo de fǎ bǎo fēi lüè ér chū 。
林轩心中暗喜，袖袍一拂，一式样古朴的法宝飞掠而出。
Why would a demon cultivator of this level come here?
qīng huǒ huǐ le ， bù guò bǎi líng zhōng què yǒu jiàn gōng ， wàn shòu zūn kàn hǎo bù róng yì cái xùn yǎng chéng shú de qiān yú zhǐ shī yā ， yǐ bèi cǐ bǎo shōu fù 。
青火毁了，不过百灵钟却有建功，万兽尊看好不容易才驯养成熟的千余只尸鸦，已被此宝收复。
Lin Xuan was slightly surprised but didn't dwell on it. He dressed himself, gathered his array formations outside his cave, then removed all traces with a wave of his sleeve, concealing himself behind a large stone.
suī rán zhè xiē líng shòu duì fāng yǒu dī xuè rèn zhǔ ， bù guò yǐ bǎi líng zhōng zuò wéi qū shǐ de qì wù ， yī jiù yǒu bàn fǎ ràng zhè xiē shī yā wèi jǐ suǒ yòng 。
虽然这些灵兽对方有滴血认主，不过以百灵钟作为驱使的器物，依旧有办法让这些尸鸦为己所用。
Lin Xuan wasn’t afraid; he just wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble after escaping the Poison Dragon Demon Sovereign.
dāng rán ， xū yào fèi yī fān gōng fu ， bù guò yǔ dé dào de hǎo chù xiāng bǐ ， zhè diǎn xīn kǔ ， zì rán shì bù zhí yī tí 。
当然，需要费一番功夫，不过与得到的好处相比，这点辛苦，自然是不值一提。
Just as he finished, the two streaks of energy flew over the coral island and hovered in mid-air. They slowed down slightly.
fǎn zhèng zhè lǐ dì chǔ huāng pì ， ér líng qì nóng dù duì jiē xià lái jì liàn de yǐng xiǎng yě shì wēi hū qí wēi dì ， yú shì lín xuān lüè yī chóu chú ， jiù kāi shǐ zhuó shǒu chǔ lǐ zhè fú lǔ líng shòu de wèn tí le 。
反正这里地处荒僻，而灵气浓度对接下来祭炼的影响也是微乎其微地，于是林轩略一踌躇，就开始着手处理这俘虏灵兽的问题了。
Lin Xuan sighed and frowned. His recent luck had been terrible; even in such a remote place, trouble could still find him.
zhè xiē shī yā kě shì wàn shòu de shā shǒu tóng zhī yī ， huā fèi liǎo wú shù xīn xuè cái sì yǎng chéng shú ， yí dàn kě yǐ cāo kòng ， zì jǐ de shí lì yòu kě yǐ zēng shàng bù shǎo de 。
这些尸鸦可是万兽的杀手铜之一，花费了无数心血才饲养成熟，一旦可以操控，自己的实力又可以增上不少的。
The light dissipated, revealing the faces of his unexpected guests. On the left was a demon woman with a slender figure and striking features. Her eyes were a vivid green, her mouth slightly open, revealing a thin tongue that flicked back and forth. Two sharp fangs jutted out from her lips.
ér zài tǐ yàn le dú lóng lǎo mó de kě pà zhī chù ， lín xuān zēng qiáng shí lì de xīn qíng kě shì pò qiè dé hěn de 。
而在体验了毒龙老魔的可怕之处，林轩增强实力的心情可是迫切得很的。
Her true form was unmistakable—she was undoubtedly some kind of venomous snake.
Lin Xuan felt a strong desire deep within him. This urge had also appeared when he was in the human world, but back then, it was just a thought.
Such grade treasures were brought down from the Spirit Realm by cultivators of ancient times. The materials used to forge them did not exist in the human world, so how could they be repaired?
However, things were different in the Spirit Realm. Although there were many difficulties, there was still hope. It all came down to how one grasped these opportunities—effort and a bit of luck.
