shān yǔ yù lái fēng mǎn lóu 。
山雨欲来风满楼。
A storm was brewing, and the wind filled the halls.
rán ér sān zú jiān de guān xì ， suī jǐn zhāng yǐ jí ， dà zhàn bì jìng hái méi yǒu kāi qǐ 。
然而三族间的关系，虽紧张以极，大战毕竟还没有开启。
However, despite the tense relations among the three clans, a major war had not yet begun.
hùn luàn hǎi yù yī qiè rú gù ， shèn zhì bǐ yǐ qián gèng jiā de fán róng 。
混乱海域一切如故，甚至比以前更加的繁荣。
The chaotic sea remained as it always was, even more prosperous than before. The human clan, demon clan, and sea clan were flooded with countless cultivators every day, making Nine Immortal City brim with vitality.
rén zú ， yāo zú ， hǎi zú ， měi tiān dōu yǒu wú shù de xiū xiān zhě yǒng luán rù ， zhěng gè jiǔ xiān chéng xiǎn de shēng jī bó bó 。
人族，妖族，海族，每天都有无数的修仙者涌圞入，整个九仙城显得生机勃勃。
But this had nothing to do with Lin Xuan. He continued his rigorous cultivation in seclusion.
bù guò zhè yī qiè yǔ lín xuān méi yǒu shén me guān xì ， tā yī jiù shì yī xīn de bì mén kǔ xiū 。
不过这一切与林轩没有什么关系，他依旧是一心的闭门苦修。
Yet compared to the past, Lin Xuan spent significantly more time visiting friends and participating in various small exchanges.
dàn yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ ， lín xuān chū mén fǎng yǒu yǔ cān jiā gè zhǒng xiǎo xíng jiāo huàn huì de shí jiān ， míng xiǎn duō le yī xiē 。
但与以前相比，林轩出门访友与参加各种小型交换会的时间，明显多了一些。
He knew his situation well; now that his second yin-yang essence and his xian technique were at a high level, he needed to find ways to improve. The golden monk, Jin Hong, had been someone he met during the exchange meetings, with a noble character and deep cultivation. He would not come without reason.
zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ qīng chǔ ， rú jīn dì èr yuán yīng yǔ yāo dān yǐ gǎn shàng le zhǔ yuán yīng de xiū luán liàn jìn dù ， gè zhǒng mì shù ， yě dōu xué le huà qī bā bā ， tí shēng jìng jiè yě gāi fàng dào rì chéng shàng lái le a ！
自己的情况自己清楚，如今第二元婴与妖丹已赶上了主元婴的修圞炼进度，各种秘术，也都学了化七八八，提升境界也该放到日程上来了啊！
An hour later, Lin Xuan arrived in front of a temple. Jin Hong was staying here as a guest.
kě quē shǎo dān yào ， duì lín xuān de chè zhǒu zhe shí bù shǎo ， suǒ yǐ tā cái huì sì miàn chū jī ， xī wàng zhǎo dào zì jǐ xiǎng yào de dōng xī 。
可缺少丹药，对林轩的掣肘着实不少，所以他才会四面出击，希望找到自己想要的东西。
Looking at this somewhat dilapidated temple, who could imagine that it housed an intermediate-stage cultivator? After landing his light projection, Lin Xuan knocked on the door.
rán miàn tán hé róng yì ！
然面谈何容易！
Soon, footsteps were heard, and the door opened to reveal a young monk.
lín xuān xū yào de líng dān bú shì yī lì liǎng lì ， tā yāo qiú de guī mó páng dà yǐ jí 。
林轩需要的灵丹不是一粒两粒，他要求的规模庞大以极。
"Namaste, Senior Lin. The master has already instructed me to invite you in," said the young monk with great respect. His cultivation was only at the early stage of vitality, showing immense reverence for such a senior cultivator as Lin Xuan.
kě zēng jìn luán lì de dān yào běn jiù zhēn xī ， lín xuān de yuàn wàng xiǎng yào dá chéng zhe shí bù yì 。
可增进圞力的丹药本就珍惜，林轩的愿望想要达成着实不易。
Lin Xuan did not hesitate and followed him inside.
zhè xiē nián ， tā zài fāng shì zhōng ， qián hòu gòng shōu jí le shù zhǒng kě yòng de dān fāng ， fǎn fù duì bǐ ， lǐ miàn de líng cǎo ， huò zhě shì qí tā de yī xiē yāo shòu cái liào ， gù rán kě yǐ zhǎo qí ， yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi ， liàn zhì yě bú shì wèn tí ， kě yī píng liǎng píng shàng kě ， xiǎng yào dà liàng què shì bù kě néng de 。
这些年，他在坊市中，前后共收集了数种可用的丹方，反复对比，里面的灵草，或者是其他的一些妖兽材料，固然可以找齐，有蓝色星海，炼制也不是问题，可一瓶两瓶尚可，想要大量却是不可能的。
"Why are we still doing evening prayers?" Lin Xuan asked calmly.
jiū jìng gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
究竟该怎么办呢？
Jin Hong excelled in Buddhist practices; he never missed his daily rituals. Their relationship had lasted over a hundred years, so Lin Xuan was not surprised by this habit.
zàn shí xiǎng bù chū fāng jiě jué zhè ge nán tí ， lín zàng yě jiù zhǐ yǒu xiān fàng xià ， měi tiān jì xù yī biān xiū luán xí ， yī biān fú yòng tí chún hòu de qí lín guǒ qiáng huà ròu luán tǐ 。
暂时想不出方解决这个难题，林葬也就只有先放下，每天继续一边修圞习，一边服用提纯后的麒麟果强化肉圞体。
"Indeed, the master is reciting scriptures," said the young monk respectfully. "Please wait inside."
rú guǒ shí zài bù xíng ， jiù zhǐ yǒu chuǎng yí jì zhī hǎi yī cì 。
如果实在不行，就只有闯遗迹之海一次。
Following him, they passed through a small courtyard and entered a Buddha hall.
lǐ miàn de bǎo wù shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。
里面的宝物数不胜数。
"Surprise! Senior Immortal Mingquan and Brother Jin are also here."
yī xiē gǔ dān yào de xiào guǒ ， gèng qiáng dà dào bù kě sī yì de dì bù ， jiù zì jǐ xiàn zài de qíng kuàng lái shuō ， fú shí yǐ hòu suī bù kě néng zhí jiē jìn jí ， dàn zēng jìn luán lì de xiào ， yě yuǎn fēi xiàn zài de dān yào kě bǐ 。
一些古丹药的效果，更强大到不可思议的地步，就自己现在的情况来说，服食以后虽不可能直接晋级，但增进圞力的效，也远非现在的丹药可比。
Before entering the meditation room, Lin Xuan noticed a man and a woman.
yào xiào qiáng dà ” jiù bù yòng měi tiān tūn fú 。
药效强大”就不用每天吞服。
The woman looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with exquisite features. She wore white palace attire, her long skirt flowing gracefully without any dirt.
zhǎo dào yī píng liǎng píng jiù zú gòu zì jǐ jìn jiē dào lí hé zhōng qī 。
找到一瓶两瓶就足够自己进阶到离合中期。
The man was slightly older, around thirty, shorter but incredibly muscular, giving off an aura of endless strength.
rú guǒ yùn qì bù cuò ， zhǎo dào de dān yào shù liàng gòu duō ， yě xǔ xiū luán liàn dào lí hé hòu qī dōu bù chéng wèn tí 。
如果运气不错，找到的丹药数量够多，也许修圞炼到离合后期都不成问题。
Both were intermediate-stage cultivators and familiar acquaintances of Lin Xuan.
zhè jué duì shì jiě jué yǎn qián kùn jìng de hǎo zhǔ yì 。
这绝对是解决眼前困境的好主意。
Mingquan Immortal's name was "Clear Spring." She was a junior from some prominent family, with cultivation that belonged to the orthodox daoist sect. Although they had never met in battle, Lin Xuan had seen her defeat an equal-level opponent effortlessly during a small exchange meeting.
hěn yòu rén ， bù guò jīng guò yī fān sī suǒ ， lín xuān què bìng méi yǒu zhè me zuò 。
很诱人，不过经过一番思索，林轩却并没有这么做。
Jin Yi, on the other hand, was originally a wandering cultivator who had stumbled upon the path of immortality. He was a demon cultivator, imitating some demonic technique unknown to Lin Xuan. His divine strength was legendary; it was said he could tear apart a dragon with his bare hands.
yí jì zhī hǎi gù rán shì yí gè lìng rén chuí xián de bǎo kù ， dàn lǐ miàn de wēi xiǎn ， yě yuǎn fēi cháng rén kě yǐ xiǎng xiàng de ” jiù suàn shì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， yùn qì bù jiā ， yě yǒu kě néng zài lǐ miàn mò luò 。
遗迹之海固然是一个令人垂涎的宝库，但里面的危险，也远非常人可以想象的”就算是洞玄期修仙者，运气不佳，也有可能在里面陌落。
They had exchanged cultivation insights and even traded a piece of "Northern Sea Iron" for Mingquan Immortal's sake. Their relationship was not deep but they were familiar enough.
bǐ qǐ nà ge děng jí de lǎo guài wù ， zhè liǎng bǎi nián ， zì jǐ shí lì suī rán zēng qiáng le xǔ duō ， dàn yī jiù shì bù gòu kàn de 。
比起那个等级的老怪物，这两百年，自己实力虽然增强了许多，但依旧是不够看的。
"Brother Jin, you are here too? Please take a seat."
bìng bú shì lín xuān qiè ruò ， ér shì jiù mù qián de qíng kuàng lái shuō ， tā hái méi yǒu bì yào qù mào nà yàng de fēng xiǎn ， yǔ tóng jiē xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， zì jǐ hái nián qīng yǐ jí ， rú guǒ zài guò jǐ bǎi nián ， yī jiù xiǎng bù chū ， gāi zěn yàng jiě jué zhè ge wèn tí ， dào shí hòu zài qù yí jì zhī hǎi bù chí 。
并不是林轩怯弱，而是就目前的情况来说，他还没有必要去冒那样的风险，与同阶修士相比，自己还年轻以极，如果再过几百年，依旧想不出，该怎样解决这个问题，到时候再去遗迹之海不迟。
Jin Yi greeted warmly.
zhè yī rì ， lín xuān zhèng zài dòng fǔ nèi dǎ zuò ， tū rán ， shén sè yī dòng ， yī dào jué cóng zhǐ jiān zhōng fēi shè ér chū 。
这一日，林轩正在洞府内打坐，突然，神色一动，一道诀从指间中飞射而出。
After the young monk served tea, he respectfully stepped back.
jǐn jǐn guò le jǐ xī de fū ， yī dào huǒ guāng jiù cóng wài miàn fēi rù ， lüè yī pán xuán fēi wǔ ， jiù luò dào le zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
仅仅过了几息的夫，一道火光就从外面飞入，略一盘旋飞舞，就落到了掌心之中。
"Master invited us all. Brother Jin and Senior Immortal, do you know why we have been summoned?" Lin Xuan asked as he sat down.
shì chuán yīn fú ！
是传音符！
"We don't know," Jin Yi replied gruffly.
ér qiě yǒu xiē yǎn shú 。
而且有些眼熟。
"I also am in the dark," said Clear Spring with a gentle smile, her graceful appearance catching everyone's attention.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， rán hòu jiù huǎn huǎn de jiāng shén shí chén rù 。
林轩眉头一挑，然后就缓缓的将神识沉入。
Since no one knew for sure, they began chatting casually. Just as they were enjoying their conversation, a voice echoed: "Namaste, thank you for coming. As host, I apologize for any inconvenience."
piàn kè hòu ， lín xuān tái qǐ tóu ” liǎn shàng dài zhe jǐ fēn chà yì zhī sè ：“ jū rán shì jīn hóng chán shī ， hái shuō yǒu jí shì ， qǐng zì jǐ qù tā de dòng fǔ yī xù 。”
片刻后，林轩抬起头”脸上带着几分诧异之色：“居然是金泓禅师，还说有急事，请自己去他的洞府一叙。”
Lin Xuan turned to see an old monk approach. His white beard and hair shone with vitality, his tall figure radiating power. His deep voice resonated like thunder, and the red robe he wore was a remarkable treasure.
lüè yī sī suǒ ， lín xuān jiù zhǔn bèi dòng shēn le 。
略一思索，林轩就准备动身了。
"Master is too polite," said Jin Yi and Clear Spring as they rose to greet him. Jin Hong was indeed an intermediate-stage cultivator.
zhè wèi jīn hóng chán shī ， shì yī wèi lí hé zhōng qī de xiū shì ” zì jǐ zài jiāo huàn huì shàng jié shí ， nián gāo luán dé xūn ， bǐ cǐ guān xì hái bú cuò 。
这位金泓禅师，是一位离合中期的修士”自己在交换会上结识，年高圞德勋，彼此关系还不错。
After some formalities, they sat down.
qí fú shēn hòu yǐ jí ” dāng chū rú hé jì liàn jīn gāng shě lì ， zì jǐ hái páng qiāo cè jī ， xiàng qí qǐng jiào le shù cì 。
其佛深厚以极”当初如何祭炼金刚舍利，自己还旁敲侧击，像其请教了数次。
"Master, please forgive my impatience. You invited us here for a reason. What is it?" asked Jin Yi.
tā zhǎo zì jǐ ， jué bú huì wú dì fàng shǐ 。
他找自己，绝不会无的放矢。
"You are quick to the point, Brother Jin," said the old monk with a smile. "I have no intention of being angry. However, there is another friend who has yet to arrive."
yí gè shí chén yǐ hòu ， lín xuān lái dào le yī zuò sì luán miào de miàn qián 。
一个时辰以后，林轩来到了一座寺圞庙的面前。
"Another person?" Clear Spring's face showed surprise as she realized that their combined strength was formidable. Yet, if there were more, what great plan did the master have in mind?
jīn hóng chán shī jiù zài zhè zuò pú tí sì guà dān 。
金泓禅师就在这座菩提寺挂单。
Lin Xuan's expression changed when he heard this: "Master, could you be inviting Lord Iblan?"
kàn zhe zhè shāo wēi yǒu xiē pò bài de miào luán yǔ ， shuí yòu néng xiǎng dào ， zài zhè lǐ ， jū zhù zhe yī wèi lí hé zhōng qī de fó mén gāo sēng 。
看着这稍微有些破败的庙圞宇，谁又能想到，在这里，居住着一位离合中期的佛门高僧。
"What? That scrawny Iblan?" Jin Yi's face darkened.
dùn guāng là xià yǐ hòu ， lín xuān kòu le kòu mén 。
遁光落下以后，林轩扣了扣门。
Iblan was also a familiar cultivator. He had met him through mutual combat and rivalry. Iblan was an intermediate-stage cultivator as well, but his background was mysterious. His appearance suggested he came from a noble family, yet the name "Fiber Curtain" was unusual; no one in the Eastern Sea Immortal Realm knew of such a clan.
hěn kuài ， jiǎo bù shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， mén dǎ kāi ， yí gè xiǎo shā mí lù le chū lái 。
很快，脚步声传入耳朵，门打开，一个小沙弥露了出来。
At twenty-seven or eight, Iblan was handsome and charming, rivaling Tian Xiaojian'scharm;风采:风貌;风采:personality (Note: The term can have multiple meanings depending on context). However, his personality was shallow and frivolous. In a small exchange meeting for intermediate-stage cultivators, he had mocked Lin Xuan, saying he was ugly and would never find a wife.
“ ā mí tuō fú ， yuán lái shì lín qián bèi dào le ， chán shī yǐ jīng yǒu fēn fù ， qián bèi kuài qǐng lǐ miàn zuò 。” zhè xiǎo shā mí de xiū wèi bù guò líng dòng zhōng qī ， duì yú lín xuān zhè yàng de qián bèi gāo rén zì rán jìng wèi yǐ jí 。
“阿弥托福，原来是林前辈到了，禅师已经有吩咐，前辈快请里面坐。”这小沙弥的修为不过灵动中期，对于林轩这样的前辈高人自然敬畏以极。
Lin Xuan had not encountered such behavior before; they did not have any conflicts but were still ridiculed by an equal-level opponent. It seemed like the man had nothing better to do than insult others.
lín xuān yě bú kè qì ， suí tā zǒu le jìn qù 。
林轩也不客气，随他走了进去。
But Lin Xuan's mind was as deep as the ocean, so he paid no attention to such trivial matters. "Unable to find a wife? Heh, what about Mo'er, Qinxin, or Peacock?"
“ zěn me ， dà shī xiàn zài hái zài zuò wǎn kè ？” lín xuān shén sè píng dàn de kāi kǒu le 。
“怎么，大师现在还在做晚课？”林轩神色平淡的开口了。
The successful Lin Xuan ignored Iblan and treated him like any other shallow aristocrat who had just reached intermediate-stage cultivation.
jīn hóng chán shī jīng shàn fú ， chú le tiáo xī dǎ zuò ， měi rì de lǐ fó yě cóng lái bú huì dān gē ， lín xuān yǔ qí xiāng jiāo ， yǐ yǒu yì bǎi yú zài ， duì yú qí xí guàn ， zì rán bú huì gǎn dào qí guài 。
金泓禅师精擅佛，除了调息打坐，每日的礼佛也从来不会耽搁，林轩与其相交，已有一百余载，对于其习惯，自然不会感到奇怪。
Seeing Jin Yi's anger, Iblan went up to tease him again. Jin Yi's luck was not as good as Lin Xuan's; he was easily provoked by this man's insults, his temper flaring up.
“ bù cuò ， dà shī zhèng zài sòng jīng ， hái qǐng qián bèi qù chán fáng shāo zuò 。” xiǎo shā mí gōng jìng de shuō 。
“不错，大师正在诵经，还请前辈去禅房稍坐。”小沙弥恭敬的说。
Lin Xuan shook his head inwardly. Jin Yi's abilities were formidable, and against ordinary intermediate-stage cultivators, he would win most of the time. This wastrel would be in for a beating.
suí hòu yóu qí yǐn lù ， chuān guò yī xiǎo xiǎo de yuàn luò ， yī jiān fó táng chū xiàn zài yǎn lián zhōng 。
随后由其引路，穿过一小小的院落，一间佛堂出现在眼帘中。
Other cultivators who knew Jin Yi's abilities rejoiced, but to everyone's surprise, including Lin Xuan, Iblan ended up on the ground after their fight. He was tough, and it took some effort to subdue him.
“ yí ， méi xiǎng dào xiān zi yě zài cǐ chù ， hái yǒu jīn xiōng 。”
“咦，没想到仙子也在此处，还有金兄。”
After the battle, Iblan saw Clear Spring and began teasing her again with his usual antics...
shàng wèi jìn rù chán fáng ， lín xuān dǎo shì kàn jiàn yī nán yī nǚ 。
尚未进入禅房，林轩倒是看见一男一女。
