“ nán dào zhè lǐ , jū rán yǔ mò yuè zú yǒu shén me guān xì ?”
“难道这里,居然与墨月族有什么关系?”
"Could this place have any connection to the Moon Ink Clan?"
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ , gēn zhe xiǎo gǒu zǒu le jìn qù 。
林轩喃喃自语,跟着小狗走了进去。
Lin Xuan muttered to himself as he followed the little dog inside.
méi cuò , zhè diāo xiàng yǔ jì yì zhōng de , bié wú èr zhì , què shí jiù shì mò yuè zú suǒ gòng fèng de tiān wū shén nǚ 。
没错,这雕像与记忆中的,别无二致,确实就是墨月族所供奉的天巫神女。
Indeed, this statue was exactly as he remembered—indeed it was an image of the Sky Witch Goddess worshipped by the Moon Ink Clan.
huàn jù huà shuō , cǐ dì nǎi shì mò yuè zú zài líng jiè suǒ liú xià lái de yí jì 。
换句话说,此地乃是墨月族在灵界所留下来的遗迹。
In other words, this place was a remnant left behind by the Moon Ink Clan in the Spirit Realm.
“ wāng wāng 。”
“汪汪。”
"Wo wo."
xiǎo gǒu de jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , jiāng lín xuān cóng chén sī zhōng huàn xǐng le 。
小狗的叫声传入耳朵,将林轩从沉思中唤醒了。
The little dog's bark brought Lin Xuan out of his thoughts.
“ děng děng 。”
“等等。”
"Wait."
lín xuān ràng xiǎo gǒu xiān dài zài yuán dì , rán hòu yí gè rén xiàng zhe diāo xiàng zǒu le guò qù 。
林轩让小狗先待在原地,然后一个人向着雕像走了过去。
Lin Xuan asked the little dog to stay put while he approached the statue alone.
jiǔ tóu shí bā bì , dì yī dōng kàn jiàn de shí hòu bù jué dé , rú jīn lín xuān jiàn shí guǎng le , bù yóu de àn zì dí gū , zhè wèi tiān wū shén nǚ , yǔ cóng qín xīn nà lǐ xí dé de xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng , jiū jìng yòu yǒu zhe zěn yàng de guān xì 。
九头十八臂,第一咚看见的时候不觉得,如今林轩见识广了,不由得暗自嘀咕,这位天巫神女,与从琴心那里习得的小罗天法相,究竟又有着怎样的关系。
With nine heads and eighteen arms, it wasn't until now that Lin Xuan noticed how unusual this depiction was. He couldn’t help but wonder about its connection to the Lesser Heavenly Heaven Technique he had learned from Qin Xin.
mù guāng sǎo guò , fǎ xiàng de biǎo qíng zàn qiě bù shuō , nà shí bā tiáo shǒu bì de dòng zuò , dào zhēn yǔ fǎ xiàng zhōng de mǒu duàn zī shì wěn hé 。
目光扫过,法相的表情暂且不说,那十八条手臂的动作,倒真与法相中的某段姿势吻合。
As his gaze swept over the statue, he didn't pay much attention to the expression on her face, but the movements of those eighteen arms did seem to match a particular pose in the technique.
yīng gāi bù kě néng shì pèng qiǎo de 。
应该不可能是碰巧的。
It couldn't be coincidental.
yuán běn , lín xuān de mù biāo shì wàn nián huǒ shān hú , bù guò rú jīn qíng kuàng tè shū , tā de zhù yì lì , yǐ jīng bèi mò yuè zú de yí jì xī yǐn guò lái le 。
原本,林轩的目标是万年火珊瑚,不过如今情况特殊,他的注意力,已经被墨月族的遗迹吸引过来了。
Originally, Lin Xuan's target was the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral. But now that circumstances had changed, his attention was drawn to this remnant left behind by the Moon Ink Clan.
duì yú gāi zú , lín xuān xìng qù hěn nóng 。
对于该族,林轩兴趣很浓。
"Alright, lead the way."
huàn líng tiān huǒ , jiù shì tuō tāi yú gāi zú de shén tōng , bǎi dú zhēn jūn ruò bú shì bèi jiān rén suǒ hài , xiū liàn sù dù kě shì bǐ zì jǐ hái kuài 。
幻灵天火,就是脱胎于该族的神通,百毒真君若不是被奸人所害,修炼速度可是比自己还快。
Following Lin Xuan’s instructions, the little dog stood up and walked to the back of the altar. A small, intricate array appeared before them, with very detailed patterns.
zì jǐ wèi tā bào chóu , tā yě jiāng zhèn zú zhī bǎo zuò wéi láo chóu , kě xī nà yù tóng jiǎn tài guò gǔ guài , yǐ zì jǐ de shén shí dōu bù néng wán quán dǎ kāi 。
自己为他报仇,他也将镇族之宝作为劳酬,可惜那玉瞳简太过古怪,以自己的神识都不能完全打开。
It looked somewhat like a teleportation array but was different in some ways.
dào mù qián wéi zhǐ , zì jǐ zhǐ xué le bì huàn yōu huǒ yǔ zhēn líng yī jī liǎng zhǒng mì shù , hòu miàn hái yǒu xiē shén me dōng xī lín xuān kě shì gǎn xìng qù dé hěn de 。
到目前为止,自己只学了碧幻幽火与真灵一击两种秘术,后面还有些什么东西林轩可是感兴趣得很的。
The little dog leaped into the center of the array.
qū zhǐ wēi dàn , yòu yī zhī yù luó fēng fēi lüè chū lái , zài jì tán shàng liú le yī quān , méi yǒu bù tuǒ , zhè shàng miàn bìng méi yǒu jìn zhì de 。
屈指微弹,又一只玉罗蜂飞掠出来,在祭坛上遛了一圈,没有不妥,这上面并没有禁制的。
Boom!
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì , suí hòu huǎn bù zǒu le guò qù 。
林轩松了口气,随后缓步走了过去。
A layer of fire began to burn on its body surface as the entire array turned red. The space around them started to vibrate, and a red gap slowly appeared before their eyes.
kāi shǐ de shí hòu méi yǒu zhù yì , zài zǒu jìn yǐ hòu , yí gè xiǎo xì jié jiāng lín xuān de shì xiàn xī yǐn le guò qù 。
开始的时候没有注意,在走近以后,一个小细节将林轩的视线吸引了过去。
At first, it was just a thin line, but gradually widened. Light shone through the gap.
shén xiàng zuǒ shǒu de shí zhǐ , dài zhe yī méi shì yàng jīng qiǎo de jiè zhǐ 。
神像左手的食指,带着一枚式样精巧的戒指。
"What is this?"
shàng miàn bìng méi yǒu shén me líng qì liú lù , rú guǒ shì yì bān de xiū xiān zhě , shí yǒu ** huì yīn cǐ shū hū , dàn lín xuān de guān chá , shì hěn xì zhì rù wēi de 。
上面并没有什么灵气流露,如果是一般的修仙者,十有**会因此疏忽,但林轩的观察,是很细致入微的。
Lin Xuan's face showed surprise. It looked like a spatial rift, yet had some differences.
zài shén xiàng shēn shàng , hái yǒu qí tā de “ shǒu shì ……” dàn dōu shì diāo kè ér chéng de , wéi yǒu zhè méi xiǎo xiǎo de jiè zhǐ , shì wài wù , zhè kě jiù xiǎn de yǒu diǎn tū wù 。
在神像身上,还有其他的“首饰……”但都是雕刻而成的,唯有这枚小小的戒指,是外物,这可就显得有点突兀。
Thud.
yǐ shǒu fǔ é , lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐ zuò xià jué dìng le 。
以手抚额,林轩心中已做下决定了。
The little dog leaped into the gap.
yòu páo yī fú , chǎng zhǐ qīng sè de guāng shǒu fēi lüè ér chū , lái dào shí xiàng de shēn qián , qīng qīng yī gōu , nà jiè zhǐ jiù bèi xī qǔ dào le shǒu zhōng 。
柚袍一拂,厂只青色的光手飞掠而出,来到石像的身前,轻轻一勾,那戒指就被牺取到了手中。
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment and then entered as well, his body surrounded by green light.
ér yuán běn rú lín dà dí de lín xuān yě sōng le kǒu qì , rèn hé yì wài yě méi yǒu fā shēng dì 。
而原本如临大敌的林轩也松了口气,任何意外也没有发生地。
"This..."
suí hòu nà guāng shǒu fēi le huí lái , jiè zhǐ luò rù tā de zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn 。
随后那光手飞了回来,戒指落入他的掌心里面。
Lin Xuan looked around, taking in this unfamiliar place with a mix of emotions.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu de jiāng cǐ wù fàng dào yǎn qián , fān lái fù qù de kàn le shù biàn 。
林轩眉头一皱的将此物放到眼前,翻来覆去的看了数遍。
Before him was an endless expanse of white, both sky and ground were white. In fact, there wasn't any ground; it was a vast icy world.
bú shì fǎ qì , hǎo xiàng zhēn zhǐ shì yī méi pǔ tōng de jiè zhǐ ér yǐ 。
不是法器,好像真只是一枚普通的戒指而已。
Here, his spirit sense wasn’t suppressed, and the area seemed to be about ten miles wide. The air was exceptionally rich with Spirit Qi, almost twice as much as in Lin Xuan’s hometown.
zhǐ kě xī zài zhè lǐ shén shí bèi píng bì , fǒu zé dào kě yǐ hǎo hǎo de chá tàn yī fān 。
只可惜在这里神识被屏蔽,否则倒可以好好的查探一番。
"Independent space!"
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì , xiān jiāng cǐ wù shōu rù le xū yú dài lǐ , děng cóng zhè lǐ chū qù yǐ hòu , zài màn màn yán jiū bù chí 。
林轩叹了口气,先将此物收入了须臾袋里,等从这里出去以后,再慢慢研究不迟。
Lin Xuan muttered. He quickly recognized where he was.
zuò hǎo zhè yī qiè hòu , lín xuān kāi shǐ yǒu jì tán shàng sōu suǒ , bù fàng guò rèn hé yí gè jiǎo luò , dàn zhè huí lín xuān shī wàng le , chú le nà méi zhǐ huán , méi yǒu zài zhǎo dào rèn hé yǒu jià zhí zhī wù 。
做好这一切后,林轩开始友祭坛上搜索,不放过任何一个角落,但这回林轩失望了,除了那枚指环,没有再找到任何有价值之物。
No wonder the passage looked like a spatial rift. It appeared that this place had been sealed by the ancestors of the Moon Ink Clan at the bottom of the sea.
“ wāng wāng 。” gǒu jiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , lín xuān xún shēng zhuǎn guò tóu lú , zhǐ jiàn xiǎo gǒu de liǎn shàng , lù chū hěn nǐ rén huà de bù nài fán zhī sè 。
“汪汪。”狗叫的声音传入耳朵,林轩循声转过头颅,只见小狗的脸上,露出很拟人化的不耐烦之色。
A chill suddenly enveloped him, causing Lin Xuan to shiver involuntarily.
lín xuān yǒu diǎn wú yǔ le 。
林轩有点无语了。
He took a deep breath and activated his cultivation technique, suppressing the cold. If it were any other cultivator, they would likely be puzzled by this environment—Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral was a precious material with fire attributes; how could it grow in such a frigid place?
bù guò tā yě què shí bù xiǎng dān gē , xiān zhǎo dào wàn nián huǒ shān hú …… huì er zài lái zhè yí jì sōu suǒ 。
不过他也确实不想耽搁,先找到万年火珊瑚……会儿在来这遗迹搜索。
But Lin Xuan had no doubts. As the saying went, opposites attract and repel each other. For example, there must be some detoxifying herbs within three feet of a venomous snake. While this statement might seem exaggerated, it was logically sound.
“ hǎo ba , dài lù 。”
“好吧,带路。”
Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that an extreme fire material could exist in such a frigid place.
dé dào lín xuān de fēn fù , xiǎo gǒu zhàn le qǐ lái , lái dào jì tán de hòu miàn , yí gè xiǎo qiǎo de fǎ zhèn chū xiàn zài miàn qián , shàng miàn yǒu zhe shí fēn jīng měi de tú àn 。
得到林轩的吩咐,小狗站了起来,来到祭坛的后面,一个小巧的法阵出现在面前,上面有着十分精美的图案。
"Wo wo wo."
kàn shàng qù yǔ chuán sòng zhèn yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì , zhù yòu bìng bù xiāng tóng de yàng zi 。
看上去与传送阵有几分相似,住又并不相同的样子。
The little dog’s barks echoed as he ran towards what appeared to be a small mountain.
xiǎo gǒu tiào dào fǎ zhèn de zhōng xīn chù 。
小狗跳到法阵的中心处。
It was actually no more than several dozen feet high but stood out prominently in this isolated space.
hōng !
轰!
Lin Xuan flew over without hesitation and found a cave entrance about ten feet wide on the side of the mountain. If his calculations were correct, the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral should be inside.
suí hòu , xī de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn , rán shāo qǐ le yī céng huǒ 。
随后,牺的身体表面,燃烧起了一层火。
Lin Xuan’s speed was incredible; he arrived at the cave entrance almost instantly.
zhěng gè fǎ zhèn bèi yìng chéng le hóng sè , suí hòu , kōng jiān kāi shǐ zhèn dòng , yī tiáo huǒ hóng sè de fèng xì , màn màn de chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
整个法阵被映成了红色,随后,空间开始震动,一条火红色的缝隙,慢慢的出现在了视线里。
The cold suddenly intensified, and even with his cultivation technique running, Lin Xuan struggled to resist it. He let out a loud shout as three-colored flames shot from his mouth and enveloped him.
kāi shǐ , jǐn yǒu xì xì de yī gǔ , suí hòu , què jiàn jiàn biàn dà , zài nà fèng xì zhī zhōng , yǐn yǐn yǒu guāng liàng shè chū 。
开始,仅有细细的一股,随后,却渐渐变大,在那缝隙之中,隐隐有光亮射出。
Phantasmal Heavenly Fire was powerful but wouldn’t harm Lin Xuan himself.
“ zhè shì shén me ?”
“这是什么?”
A layer of three-colored light shield appeared on his body, burning fiercely.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū jīng yà zhī sè , yǒu diǎn xiàng kōng jiān fèng xì , dàn yòu lüè yǒu qū bié de yàng zi 。
林轩脸上露出惊讶之色,有点像空间缝隙,但又略有区别的样子。
The cold vanished completely.
pā dā 。
啪嗒。
Lin Xuan’s face showed a thoughtful expression.
xiǎo gǒu tiào le jìn qù 。
小狗跳了进去。
These frigid energies were incredibly pure, seemingly having existed for countless years. If he could refine them, they would be immensely beneficial to cultivators practicing ice attributes.
lín xuān lüè yī chí yí , yě hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ , jìn rù le fèng xì lǐ 。
林轩略一迟疑,也浑身青芒大起,进入了缝隙里。
Although Lin Xuan wasn’t an ice attribute cultivator, the Phantasmal Heavenly Fire had extremely cold properties.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
With this in mind, Lin Xuan’s resolve strengthened as he flicked his sleeves and a small jade bottle flew out. This was no ordinary vial for storing pills; it was a magical item.
lín xuān yóu mù sì gù , dǎ liàng zhuó yǎn qián de mò shēng zhī dì , yī liǎn yīn qíng bù dìng de yàng zi 。
林轩游目四顾,打量着眼前的陌生之地,一脸阴晴不定的样子。
Lin Xuan cast a spell and shouted, "Seize!"
fàng yǎn wàng qù , bái máng máng de yī piàn , tiān kōng shì bái de , dì yě shì bái de , huò zhě shuō , gēn běn bú shì dì , ér shì yī piàn bái máng máng de bīng yuán shì jiè 。
放眼望去,白茫茫的一片,天空是白的,地也是白的,或者说,根本不是地,而是一片白茫茫的冰原世界。
A green aura shot out and gathered the nearby cold energies into the bottle.
zài zhè lǐ , shén shí méi yǒu shòu dào yā zhì , dà yuē yǒu shí yú lǐ zhī guǎng dì yàng zi 。
在这里,神识没有受到压制,大约有十余里之广地样子。
Of course, there was much more than that. The bottle floated in mid-air, emitting green light until all the cold energy had been absorbed after about half an hour.
ér qiě líng qì shí fēn chōng zú , jī hū shì lín hǎi chéng shù bèi de yàng zi 。
而且灵气十分充足,几乎是临海城数倍的样子。
Seeing this, Lin Xuan’s face lit up with joy as he called the bottle back. He then affixed a silver talisman to its surface.
“ dú lì kōng jiān !”
“独立空间!”
Such pure Ten Thousand Year Cold Energy was rare and valuable; even though it wasn’t worth as much as the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral, it would surely be coveted by even ancient experts in the marketplace.
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ , hěn kuài jiù rèn chū le zì jǐ suǒ zài zhī dì 。
林轩喃喃自语,很快就认出了自己所在之地。
The ancients were right about surviving great hardships bringing good fortune.
guài shuō bù dé , gāng gāng de tōng dào , nà me xiàng kōng jiān fèng xì , kàn lái zhè ge dì fāng , yīng gāi shì mò yuè zú de xiān bèi , fēng yìn zài hǎi dǐ 。
怪说不得,刚刚的通道,那么像空间缝隙,看来这个地方,应该是墨月族的先辈,封印在海底。
Lin Xuan then entered the cave with the little dog. It wasn't very deep—only twenty or so feet. The icy walls glimmered brightly.
yī gǔ qí hán xí tǐ , lín xuān lěng bù fáng …… yě jī líng líng de dǎ le gè lěng zhàn 。
一股奇寒袭体,林轩冷不防……也激灵灵的打了个冷战。
"Wo wo."
máng xī le kǒu qì , tǐ nèi fǎ jué yùn zhuàn bù yǐ , jiāng zhè gǔ qí hán yā le xià qù 。 rú guǒ huàn zuò yī míng xiū xiān zhě , jiàn dào zhè zhǒng huán jìng , shí yǒu ** huì dà gǎn yí huò , wàn nián huǒ shān hú , nǎi shì huǒ shǔ xìng cái liào zhōng de zhì bǎo , zěn me kě néng shēng zhǎng zài zhè me hán lěng de dì fāng 。
忙吸了口气,体内法诀运转不已,将这股奇寒压了下去。如果换做一名修仙者,见到这种环境,十有**会大感疑惑,万年火珊瑚,乃是火属性材料中的至宝,怎么可能生长在这么寒冷的地方。
The little dog ran to a spot and sat down, his face showing an almost human expression of pleading.
bù guò lín xuān què wú bìng wú huái yí , wàn wù xiāng shēng xiāng kè , bǐ rú shuō , dú shé chū mò de sān zhàng zhī nèi , bì yǒu jiě dú de líng cǎo , zhè yàng de shuō fǎ suī rán kuā zhāng , dàn cóng dào lǐ shàng jiǎng , què shì méi cuò dì 。
不过林轩却无并无怀疑,万物相生相克,比如说,毒蛇出没的三丈之内,必有解毒的灵草,这样的说法虽然夸张,但从道理上讲,却是没错地。
"Don’t worry; I won’t harm you when I take out your essence," Lin Xuan patted the little dog’s head.
suǒ yǐ huǒ shǔ xìng jí pǐn cái liào , cún zài yú jí hán zhī dì , yě wán quán bù yòng huái yí 。
所以火属性极品材料,存在于极寒之地,也完全不用怀疑。
This wasn't false. He found it adorable, and even if he turned it into a treasure, there was no need to erase its consciousness. Still, he would have to consult ancient texts for specifics.
wāng wāng wāng de jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , zhè lǐ de hán lěng , duì xiǎo gǒu sī háo yǐng xiǎng yě wú , tā xiàng qián fāng de yī zuò xiǎo shān pǎo qù le 。
汪汪汪的叫声传入耳朵,这里的寒冷,对小狗丝毫影响也无,他像前方的一座小山跑去了。
Under the ice layer, Lin Xuan felt abundant Fire Spirit Energy. It was clear that the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral was buried underground.
shuō shì shān , qí shí gāo bù guò jǐ shí zhàng 。
说是山,其实高不过几十丈。
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves and several sword qi shot out, slicing downward. However, only a few sword marks were left.
bù guò zhěng gè dú lì kōng jiān , jǐn yǒu cǐ wù , gù ér dǎo shì xiǎn yǎn yǐ jí 。
不过整个独立空间,仅有此物,故而倒是显眼以极。
So hard!
lín xuān yě háo bù yóu yù de fēi le guò qù , zài cǐ shān de shān yāo chù , yǒu yí gè zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de shān dòng , rú guǒ méi yǒu liào cuò , wàn nián huǒ shān hú , yīng gāi jiù zài cǐ shān dòng lǐ miàn de 。
林轩也毫不犹豫的飞了过去,在此山的山腰处,有一个直径丈许的山洞,如果没有料错,万年火珊瑚,应该就在此山洞里面的。
Lin Xuan was surprised. Although it was ordinary sword qi, even with his strength, it wouldn’t be inferior to the strike of an advanced-stage Soul婴 cultivator’s treasure.
lín xuān de dùn guāng hé děng xùn sù , jī hū shì yī zhǎ yǎn , jiù lái dào shān dòng kǒu le 。
林轩的遁光何等迅速,几乎是一眨眼,就来到山洞口了。
This wasn't just any Ten Thousand Year Ice!
hán qì dǒu rán bào zēng le xǔ duō , lín xuān guāng shì yùn zhuàn fǎ lì , jū rán yǒu xiē dǐ dǎng bú zhù , jīng yà zhī yú , lín xuān yī shēn dà hē , yī dào sān sè guāng yàn cóng tā kǒu zhōng fēi lüè ér chū 。
寒气陡然暴增了许多,林轩光是运转法力,居然有些抵挡不住,惊讶之余,林轩一身大喝,一道三色光焰从他口中飞掠而出。
Lin Xuan was both amazed and delighted as he focused his eyes on some blue granules within the ice layer. They seemed like his own Blue Star Sea.
suí hòu wǎng shēn shàng yī pū 。
随后往身上一扑。
Of course, they were Ice Marrow—essence of coldness. In terms of rarity and value, it might not be inferior to the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral. He was indeed fortunate this time.
huàn líng tiān huǒ wēi lì wú qióng , dàn zì rán bú huì shāng hài dào lín xuān zì jǐ de 。
幻灵天火威力无穷,但自然不会伤害到林轩自己的。
Unfortunately, there wasn’t much; only a small area contained Ice Marrow while the rest was ordinary Ten Thousand Year Ice.
suí hòu yī céng sān sè guāng mù zài tā shēn tǐ biǎo miàn chū xiàn le , bìng bù tíng de xióng xióng rán shāo zhe 。
随后一层三色光幕在他身体表面出现了,并不停的熊熊燃烧着。
But one should be content with what they have. Lin Xuan was already satisfied. As the saying went, surviving great hardships brings good fortune.
hán qì xiāo shī dé bàn diǎn zōng yǐng yě wú 。
寒气消失得半点踪影也无。
To speed up the process, Lin Xuan took out the Magic Bond Sword. With the help of a divine treasure, he easily dug out several large chunks of ice and placed them in his Momentary Bag.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng què shǎn guò ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè 。
林轩的脸上却闪过若有所思之色。
Continuing to dig deeper, the temperature rose until finally, a beautiful object caught his eye.
zhè xiē hán qì , jīng chún yǐ jí , sì hū yǐ cún zài liǎo wú shù suì yuè , rú guǒ néng gòu jiāng qí liàn huà , bì rán duì xiū liàn bīng shǔ xìng shén tōng de xiū shì , dà yǒu hǎo chù 。
这些寒气,精纯以极,似乎已存在了无数岁月,如果能够将其炼化,必然对修炼冰属性神通的修士,大有好处。
"Is this the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral?"
ér zì jǐ xiū liàn de , suī rán bú shì bīng shǔ xìng fǎ shù , dàn huàn líng tiān huǒ què shì yǒu jí hán shǔ xìng de 。
而自己修炼的,虽然不是冰属性法术,但幻灵天火却是有极寒属性的。
Lin Xuan’s eyes sparkled with admiration. The object was vividly colorful, about three feet tall, and branched at the top, resembling deer antlers.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ , lín xuān yì dòng yǐ jí , xiù páo yī fú …… xiǎo qiǎo de yù píng fēi lüè ér chū , bù guò zhè què bú shì pǔ tōng de zhuāng dān yào de píng zi , ér shì fǎ qì 。
想到这里,林轩意动以极,袖袍一拂……小巧的玉瓶飞掠而出,不过这却不是普通的装丹药的瓶子,而是法器。
"Wo!"
lín xuān yī dào fǎ jué dǎ le chū qù , bàn suí zhe yī shēng qīng chì :“ shōu !”
林轩一道法诀打了出去,伴随着一声轻叱:“收!”
The little dog wagged its tail before leaping down to merge with the treasure, confirming that it indeed was the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral.
"Could this place have any connection to the Moon Ink Clan?"
Lin Xuan muttered to himself as he followed the little dog inside.
Indeed, this statue was exactly as he remembered—indeed it was an image of the Sky Witch Goddess worshipped by the Moon Ink Clan.
In other words, this place was a remnant left behind by the Moon Ink Clan in the Spirit Realm.
"Wo wo."
The little dog's bark brought Lin Xuan out of his thoughts.
"Wait."
Lin Xuan asked the little dog to stay put while he approached the statue alone.
With nine heads and eighteen arms, it wasn't until now that Lin Xuan noticed how unusual this depiction was. He couldn’t help but wonder about its connection to the Lesser Heavenly Heaven Technique he had learned from Qin Xin.
As his gaze swept over the statue, he didn't pay much attention to the expression on her face, but the movements of those eighteen arms did seem to match a particular pose in the technique.
It couldn't be coincidental.
Originally, Lin Xuan's target was the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral. But now that circumstances had changed, his attention was drawn to this remnant left behind by the Moon Ink Clan.
"Alright, lead the way."
Following Lin Xuan’s instructions, the little dog stood up and walked to the back of the altar. A small, intricate array appeared before them, with very detailed patterns.
It looked somewhat like a teleportation array but was different in some ways.
The little dog leaped into the center of the array.
Boom!
A layer of fire began to burn on its body surface as the entire array turned red. The space around them started to vibrate, and a red gap slowly appeared before their eyes.
At first, it was just a thin line, but gradually widened. Light shone through the gap.
"What is this?"
Lin Xuan's face showed surprise. It looked like a spatial rift, yet had some differences.
Thud.
The little dog leaped into the gap.
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment and then entered as well, his body surrounded by green light.
"This..."
Lin Xuan looked around, taking in this unfamiliar place with a mix of emotions.
Before him was an endless expanse of white, both sky and ground were white. In fact, there wasn't any ground; it was a vast icy world.
Here, his spirit sense wasn’t suppressed, and the area seemed to be about ten miles wide. The air was exceptionally rich with Spirit Qi, almost twice as much as in Lin Xuan’s hometown.
"Independent space!"
Lin Xuan muttered. He quickly recognized where he was.
No wonder the passage looked like a spatial rift. It appeared that this place had been sealed by the ancestors of the Moon Ink Clan at the bottom of the sea.
A chill suddenly enveloped him, causing Lin Xuan to shiver involuntarily.
He took a deep breath and activated his cultivation technique, suppressing the cold. If it were any other cultivator, they would likely be puzzled by this environment—Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral was a precious material with fire attributes; how could it grow in such a frigid place?
But Lin Xuan had no doubts. As the saying went, opposites attract and repel each other. For example, there must be some detoxifying herbs within three feet of a venomous snake. While this statement might seem exaggerated, it was logically sound.
Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that an extreme fire material could exist in such a frigid place.
"Wo wo wo."
The little dog’s barks echoed as he ran towards what appeared to be a small mountain.
It was actually no more than several dozen feet high but stood out prominently in this isolated space.
Lin Xuan flew over without hesitation and found a cave entrance about ten feet wide on the side of the mountain. If his calculations were correct, the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral should be inside.
Lin Xuan’s speed was incredible; he arrived at the cave entrance almost instantly.
The cold suddenly intensified, and even with his cultivation technique running, Lin Xuan struggled to resist it. He let out a loud shout as three-colored flames shot from his mouth and enveloped him.
Phantasmal Heavenly Fire was powerful but wouldn’t harm Lin Xuan himself.
A layer of three-colored light shield appeared on his body, burning fiercely.
The cold vanished completely.
Lin Xuan’s face showed a thoughtful expression.
These frigid energies were incredibly pure, seemingly having existed for countless years. If he could refine them, they would be immensely beneficial to cultivators practicing ice attributes.
Although Lin Xuan wasn’t an ice attribute cultivator, the Phantasmal Heavenly Fire had extremely cold properties.
With this in mind, Lin Xuan’s resolve strengthened as he flicked his sleeves and a small jade bottle flew out. This was no ordinary vial for storing pills; it was a magical item.
Lin Xuan cast a spell and shouted, "Seize!"
A green aura shot out and gathered the nearby cold energies into the bottle.
Of course, there was much more than that. The bottle floated in mid-air, emitting green light until all the cold energy had been absorbed after about half an hour.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan’s face lit up with joy as he called the bottle back. He then affixed a silver talisman to its surface.
Such pure Ten Thousand Year Cold Energy was rare and valuable; even though it wasn’t worth as much as the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral, it would surely be coveted by even ancient experts in the marketplace.
The ancients were right about surviving great hardships bringing good fortune.
Lin Xuan then entered the cave with the little dog. It wasn't very deep—only twenty or so feet. The icy walls glimmered brightly.
"Wo wo."
The little dog ran to a spot and sat down, his face showing an almost human expression of pleading.
"Don’t worry; I won’t harm you when I take out your essence," Lin Xuan patted the little dog’s head.
This wasn't false. He found it adorable, and even if he turned it into a treasure, there was no need to erase its consciousness. Still, he would have to consult ancient texts for specifics.
Under the ice layer, Lin Xuan felt abundant Fire Spirit Energy. It was clear that the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral was buried underground.
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves and several sword qi shot out, slicing downward. However, only a few sword marks were left.
So hard!
Lin Xuan was surprised. Although it was ordinary sword qi, even with his strength, it wouldn’t be inferior to the strike of an advanced-stage Soul婴 cultivator’s treasure.
This wasn't just any Ten Thousand Year Ice!
Lin Xuan was both amazed and delighted as he focused his eyes on some blue granules within the ice layer. They seemed like his own Blue Star Sea.
Of course, they were Ice Marrow—essence of coldness. In terms of rarity and value, it might not be inferior to the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral. He was indeed fortunate this time.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t much; only a small area contained Ice Marrow while the rest was ordinary Ten Thousand Year Ice.
But one should be content with what they have. Lin Xuan was already satisfied. As the saying went, surviving great hardships brings good fortune.
To speed up the process, Lin Xuan took out the Magic Bond Sword. With the help of a divine treasure, he easily dug out several large chunks of ice and placed them in his Momentary Bag.
Continuing to dig deeper, the temperature rose until finally, a beautiful object caught his eye.
"Is this the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral?"
Lin Xuan’s eyes sparkled with admiration. The object was vividly colorful, about three feet tall, and branched at the top, resembling deer antlers.
"Wo!"
The little dog wagged its tail before leaping down to merge with the treasure, confirming that it indeed was the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral.
