bái gǔ zhēn jūn zhì dì yǒu shēng de fēn xī 。
白骨真君掷地有声的分析。
True Monarch White Bone analyzed the situation with a resounding voice.
“ hǎo ba 。, dú lóng lǎo zǔ diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ dào yǒu yán zhī yǒu lǐ ， běn lǎo zǔ jiù zuò zhèn cǐ dì 。,“ hē hē ， dào yǒu zhè yàng zuò ， jué duì shì zhèng què xuǎn zé ， nǐ wǒ èr rén tóng xīn xié lì ， yí dìng huì zhǎo dào nà jí pǐn kuàng mài rù kǒu de 。, yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， bù zhī dào duō yuǎn de mǒu piàn hǎi yù 。
“好吧。,毒龙老祖点了点头：“道友言之有理，本老祖就坐镇此地。,“呵呵，道友这样做，绝对是正确选择，你我二人同心协力，一定会找到那极品矿脉入口的。,与此同时，不知道多远的某片海域。
"Alright," said Old Patriarch Poison Dragon, nodding. "Friend, your words are reasonable. I will remain here to guard this place."
hōng ！
轰！
"Haha, Friend, you have made the correct choice. Together, we will definitely find the entrance to that top-grade ore vein."
yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà qī gēn guǐ yì wú bǐ de shí zhù zhōng yú zhà chéng le fěn mò ， suí hòu guāng huá yī shǎn , yī tiáo hēi bù lóng dōng de dì fèng yìng rù yǎn lián 。
一声巨响传入耳朵，那七跟诡异无比的石柱终于炸成了粉末，随后光华一闪,一条黑不隆冬的地缝映入眼帘。
At an unknown distance in the sea, a loud explosion echoed into his ears. The seven strange stone pillars finally exploded into dust. A glimmer of light flashed, revealing a dark crack.
kuān yuē yǒu shù chǐ ， fēng cóng wài miàn guàn rù ， dùn shí yǒu gǔ guài kě pà de shēng yīn chuán chū 。
宽约有数尺，风从外面灌入，顿时有古怪可怕的声音传出。
The width was several feet, and wind blew from outside, producing strange and terrifying sounds. Lin Xuan tried to probe with his spirit sense but it was mysteriously bounced back.
lín xuān shì zhe jiāng shén shí tàn rù ， què bèi mò gè qí miào de fǎn tán huí lái le 。
林轩试着将神识探入，却被莫各其妙的反弹回来了。
Lin Xuan felt somewhat surprised that there were restrictions on spirit senses in this place. Looking at the black crack, he wore a serious expression.
lín xuān lüè gǎn chà yì ， méi xiǎng dào zhè ge dì fāng ， hái yǒu xiàn zhì shén shí de jìn zhì ， wàng zhe nà qī hēi de dì fèng ， tā de biǎo qíng yǒu xiē níng zhòng 。
林轩略感诧异，没想到这个地方，还有限制神识的禁制，望着那漆黑的地缝，他的表情有些凝重。
"Senior, I have already found the den of the old monster. Can I leave now?" A weak voice entered his ears. The palace-dressed woman came to his side with a respectful look.
“ qián bèi ， yǐ jīng zhǎo dào le lǎo guài wù de dòng fǔ ， qiè shēn shì bú shì kě yǐ lí kāi le ？, ruò ruò de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ lái dào le shēn cè ， yī liǎn de gōng jìng zhī sè 。
“前辈，已经找到了老怪物的洞府，妾身是不是可以离开了？,弱弱的声音传入耳朵，那宫装女子来到了身侧，一脸的恭敬之色。
"Leave?"
“ lí qù ？,“ shì de ， qiè shēn yǐ jīng zuò dào le chéng nuò ， qián bèi yě bú huì shí yán ， duì me ？, cǐ nǚ tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì chǔ chǔ kě lián zhī sè 。
“离去？,“是的，妾身已经做到了承诺，前辈也不会食言，对么？,此女抬起头颅，脸上满是楚楚可怜之色。
"Yes, I have fulfilled my promise, and you will not break your word, right?" She raised her head, her face full of pitiful expressions.
“ qián bèi fàng xīn ， qiè shēn jué bù gǎn jiāng nǐ de xíng jì xiè lòu ， qí shí wǒ zhè me zuò ， yǐ jīng bèi pàn le dú lóng mó zǔ ， bèi tā zhuàng jiàn ， kěn dìng miǎn bù liǎo chōu hún zhī kǔ ， suǒ yǐ qián bèi bù yòng dān xīn qiè shēn huì tōng fēng bào xìn de 。, cǐ nǚ wěi wěi fēn xī ， shēng pà lín xuān bù zūn shǒu chéng nuò ， bì jìng duì yú xiū xiān zhě ， shí yán ér féi gēn běn jiù yǔ jiā cháng biàn fàn chà bu duō 。
“前辈放心，妾身绝不敢将你的行迹泄漏，其实我这么做，已经背叛了毒龙魔祖，被他撞见，肯定免不了抽魂之苦，所以前辈不用担心妾身会通风报信的。,此女娓娓分析，生怕林轩不遵守承诺，毕竟对于修仙者，食言而肥根本就与家常便饭差不多。
"Do not worry, Senior. I will never reveal your whereabouts. Actually, by doing this, I have betrayed the Poison Dragon Demon Patriarch. If he finds out, I am sure to suffer the pain of soul extraction. So you do not need to worry that I will leak information." She analyzed carefully, fearing Lin Xuan would break his promise. After all, for cultivators, breaking one's word was as common as eating.
“ hǎo ba 。, lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ lín mǒu shuō guò ， zhǐ yào mí zuò dào le ， jiù huì fàng mí yī tiáo shēng lù , jué bú huì shí yán ér féi shén me ， mí zǒu 。,“ xiè xiè qián bèi ， xiè xiè qián bèi 。, cǐ nǚ dà xǐ ， guì xià qù xiàng lín xuān kē le sān gè xiǎng tóu ， suí hòu fǎng fú hài pà tā huì fǎn huǐ shì de , huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， fēng chí diàn chè de xiàng yuǎn fāng ér qù le 。
“好吧。,林轩点了点头：“林某说过，只要弥做到了，就会放弥一条生路,绝不会食言而肥什么，弥走。,“谢谢前辈，谢谢前辈。,此女大喜，跪下去像林轩磕了三个响头，随后仿佛害怕他会反悔似的,化为一道惊虹，风驰电掣的像远方而去了。
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan did not immediately go in to search for treasure. He hesitated slightly and released several sword qi blasts, causing the surroundings to be shattered as if a battle had occurred. Then he found a hidden location, quietly hiding and practicing his concealment technique.
zuò wéi lí hé hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， tā de fēi xíng yě pǒ wèi xùn sù , shǎn le jǐ shǎn ， jiù sī háo zōng jì yě wú 。
作为离合后期的修仙者，她的飞行也颇为迅速,闪了几闪，就丝毫踪迹也无。
Hopefully, it was just his overthinking. Otherwise, this quest might not go as smoothly as expected.
lín xuān huí guò tóu lú ， liǎn shàng què lù chū jǐ fēn chén yín zhī sè 。
林轩回过头颅，脸上却露出几分沉吟之色。
Time slowly passed, and soon the sun set behind the hill, making the sky grow darker.
rú guǒ méi yǒu kàn cuò ， gāng cái cǐ nǚ wàng xiàng zhè dì fèng ， céng lù chū tān lán biǎo qíng lái de 。
如果没有看错，刚才此女望向这地缝，曾露出贪婪表情来的。
For Lin Xuan, however, this had no effect. Even without using secret techniques like Spirit Eyes, a cultivator's eyesight could still clearly see all surroundings.
biǎo miàn shàng ， zhè bìng bù xī qí ， shuí kàn jiàn yī duī zhòng bǎo bǎi zài shēn qián ， dū huì lù chū xiāng sì biǎo qíng lái de 。
表面上，这并不稀奇，谁看见一堆重宝摆在身前，都会露出相似表情来的。
The evening breeze blew gently, with only occasional waves crashing nearby. Could it be that he was overthinking?
bù guò ， lín xuān zǒng jué de yǒu jǐ fēn bù tuǒ 。
不过，林轩总觉得有几分不妥。
Lin Xuan touched his forehead, feeling somewhat uncertain. "Night is long and dreams are many." He could not wait here indefinitely. If the Old Patriarch Poison Dragon got news, he would end up empty-handed.
cǐ nǚ shuō ， tā shì tīng lǎo guài wù shuō mèng huà ， yì wài dé zhī ， yǒu zhè me yī mì mì cáng bǎo zhī chù ， kě mèng huà tōng cháng dōu jǐn yǒu zhī yán piàn yǔ ， fēi cháng de mó hú ， tā què liǎo jiě dé rú cǐ qīng chǔ , zhēn de shì bàn jūn rú bàn hǔ ， zǎo zuò zhǔn bèi me ？
此女说，她是听老怪物说梦话，意外得知，有这么一秘密藏宝之处，可梦话通常都仅有只言片语，非常的模糊，她却了解得如此清楚,真的是伴君如伴虎，早做准备么？
Cautiousness did no harm, but being too cautious might also hinder success.
hái yǒu ， dì fèng dōu yǐ jīng dǎ kāi le ， zhè lǐ ， wèi hé huì yǒu jìn shén jìn zhì ， zhe shí yǒu xiē bù hé cháng lǐ 。
还有，地缝都已经打开了，这里，为何会有禁神禁制，着实有些不合常理。
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Lin Xuan prepared to act. After all, he had only caught some vague doubts and no concrete evidence. Perhaps it was just overthinking.
zhǒng zhǒng yí diǎn còu zài yì qǐ ， yóu bù dé lín xuān bù jǐn shèn le 。
种种疑点凑在一起，由不得林轩不谨慎了。
Just as he was about to emerge from hiding, a faint flash of light appeared on the horizon.
xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò , tā bìng méi yǒu lì kè jìn qù xún bǎo shén me ， ér shì lüè yī chí yí ， suí shǒu fàng chū jǐ dào jiàn qì ， jiāng fù jìn hōng dé qī líng bā luò ， fǎng fú jīng lì guò yī cháng dà zhàn shì de ， rán hòu lín xuān què zhǎo le yī yǐn bì de dì diǎn ， qiǎo rán cáng rù , shī zhǎn liǎn qì zhī shù 。
小心无大错,他并没有立刻进去寻宝什么，而是略一迟疑，随手放出几道剑气，将附近轰得七零八落，仿佛经历过一场大战似的，然后林轩却找了一隐蔽的地点，悄然藏入,施展敛气之术。
Lin Xuan's spirit sense immediately detected that direction. The light was very hazy, with almost no exposure of qi. However, his spirit sense was far superior to ordinary cultivators. Even if the person tried to hide their tracks, it would be like trying to fool a dream.
dàn yuàn shì zì jǐ duō yí ， fǒu zé zhè cì qǔ bǎo kǒng pà bìng bú huì rú xiǎng xiàng bān shùn lì 。
但愿是自己多疑，否则这次取宝恐怕并不会如想象般顺利。
Silver light flashed, making the hazy light clear and revealing the figure inside. Lin Xuan's lips curled in a mocking smile: "Hmph, this is indeed that woman. What big audacity! I have honored my promise by letting you go. This time, dying is your own fault."
shí jiān màn màn liú shì ， hěn kuài tài yáng là xià shān pō ， tiān sè kāi shǐ hūn àn qǐ lái le 。
时间慢慢流逝，很快太阳落下山坡，天色开始昏暗起来了。
Though he thought so, he did not immediately reveal himself.
bù guò duì yú lín xuān ， sī háo yǐng xiǎng yě wú ， jiù suàn bù shī zhǎn líng yǎn lèi mì shù ， yǐ xiū xiān zhě de yǎn lì ， yī jiù kě yǐ jiāng suǒ yǒu jǐng wù ， quán bù kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
不过对于林轩，丝毫影响也无，就算不施展灵眼类秘术，以修仙者的眼力，依旧可以将所有景物，全部看得清清楚楚。
Since she had come, there was no way she would leave alive. Killing her was just a matter of raising his hand. Before that, he wanted to see what her purpose was.
wǎn fēng chuī fú ， sì zhōu chú le ǒu ěr yǒu tāo shēng chuán chū ， fēn háo dòng jìng yě méi yǒu 。
晚风吹拂，四周除了偶尔有涛声传出，分毫动静也没有。
There were likely traps in this secret treasure place. Letting this woman clear the path for him seemed like a good idea.
nán dào shì zì jǐ duō yí ？
难道是自己多疑？
Lin Xuan continued hiding, but every move of the woman was under his control.
lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é , yě yǒu xiē bù què dìng le ， suǒ wèi yè cháng mèng duō ， tā bù kě néng yì zhí děng zài zhè lǐ ， wàn yī dú lóng lǎo zǔ dé dào le xiāo xī ， zì jǐ kě jiù tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ lì xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò ， bù guò tài guò xiǎo xīn yě shì chéng bù liǎo dà shì de 。
林轩以手抚额,也有些不确定了，所谓夜长梦多，他不可能一直等在这里，万一毒龙老祖得到了消息，自己可就偷鸡不成蚀把米力小心无大错，不过太过小心也是成不了大事的。
Soon, the light approached the small island, becoming more cautious and hesitant about landing. Lin Xuan felt a spirit sense emanating from above, carefully searching.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān zhǔn bèi xíng dòng le ， bì jìng zì jǐ jǐn jǐn shì bǔ zhuō dào xiē xǔ yí diǎn ér yǐ ， bìng méi yǒu shén me qiè shí de zhèng jù ， yě xǔ ， zhēn shì zì jǐ xiǎng tài duō ， yōng rén duō zì rǎo de 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩准备行动了，毕竟自己仅仅是捕捉到些许疑点而已，并没有什么切实的证据，也许，真是自己想太多，庸人多自扰的。
After a long time, the light emitted a sigh of relief: "Heaven helps me. There are no cultivator traces nearby, but there are signs of combat. The young man Lin and the Poison Dragon's avatar either perished together or fled separately."
zhèng yù cóng yǐn nì de dì fāng zǒu chū lái ， tū rán ， yī dào mó hú de dùn guāng què chū xiàn zài le tiān biān 。
正欲从隐匿的地方走出来，突然，一道模糊的遁光却出现在了天边。
"Ha ha, like two clams fighting, leaving the fisherman to benefit. You can fight it out until you both die. The treasures here will be mine."
lín xuān xīn niàn yī dòng ， chōng zhe nà ge fāng xiàng qiǎo rán jiāng shén shí fàng chū 。
林轩心念一动，冲着那个方向悄然将神识放出。
The light descended as he spoke.
nà dùn guāng fēi cháng de mó hú ， líng qì jī hū méi yǒu wài lù ， rán ér lín xuān shén shí zhī qiáng ， qǐ shì pǔ tōng xiū shì kě yǐ bǐ nǐ de ， lái rén suī rán kè yì yǐn cáng xíng jì ， dàn xiǎng yào jiāng tā mán guò qù ， bù guò shì chī rén shuō mèng ér yǐ 。
那遁光非常的模糊，灵气几乎没有外露，然而林轩神识之强，岂是普通修士可以比拟的，来人虽然刻意隐藏行迹，但想要将他瞒过去，不过是痴人说梦而已。
It was indeed the palace-dressed woman who had just been released by Lin Xuan. At this moment, she showed no sign of being pitiful. That scene was all an act.
yǎn zhōng yín máng zǎ qǐ , nà mó hú dùn guāng dùn shí biàn dé qīng xī , lián lǐ miàn de rén yǐng yě kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū liù sī jī cháo zhī sè ：“ hēng ， zhēn shì cǐ nǚ ， hǎo dà de dǎn zi ， lín mǒu xìn shǒu chéng nuò ， yǐ rán jiāng mí fàng guò ， zhè yī cì zhǎo sǐ kě jiù yuàn bù dé wǒ 。, bù guò xīn zhōng suī rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， tā què méi yǒu mǎ shàng xiàn shēn de yì tú 。
眼中银芒咋起,那模糊遁光顿时变得清晰,连里面的人影也看得清清楚楚，林轩嘴角边流露出六丝讥嘲之色：“哼，真是此女，好大的胆子，林某信守承诺，已然将弥放过，这一次找死可就怨不得我。,不过心中虽如此想着，他却没有马上现身的意图。
Seeking fortune in danger, her gamble paid off. She smiled seductively; although not unattractive, her self-satisfied expression was repulsive. Her words to Lin Xuan were half true and half false. By chance, while serving as a concubine, she overheard the old monster's dream and learned of this secret treasure place. However, the information went beyond that.
cǐ nǚ jì rán lái le ， jiù bié xiǎng huó zhe lí qù ， yào shā tā bù guò jǔ shǒu zhī láo ér yǐ ， zài cǐ zhī qián ， xiān kàn yī kàn ， tā jiū jìng yǒu shén me mù dì 。
此女既然来了，就别想活着离去，要杀她不过举手之劳而已，在此之前，先看一看，她究竟有什么目的。
The Poison Dragon Demon Patriarch had hidden most of his wealth here, gathered through cunning means over thousands of years. How could his defenses be so simple?
zhè mì mì cáng bǎo zhī chù ， duō bàn yǒu shén me xiàn jǐng lái zhe ， ràng cǐ nǚ wèi zì jǐ sǎo qīng dào lù ， hé lè ér bù wéi ne ？
这秘密藏宝之处，多半有什么陷阱来着，让此女为自己扫清道路，何乐而不为呢？
Although the cave was concealed, he feared someone might discover it by chance. Thus, he hid a corporeal manifestation inside.
lín xuān jì xù duǒ zài àn chù ， bù guò cǐ nǚ de yī jǔ yī dòng ， dōu jǐn zài tā zhǎng wò zhī zhōng 。
林轩继续躲在暗处，不过此女的一举一动，都尽在他掌握之中。
A corporeal manifestation differed greatly from an avatar taken temporarily with his essence. While both had similarities, one was temporary and could be abandoned at any time, while the other was perfected through secret rituals, with his essence perfectly fused with his physical body.
hěn kuài ， nà dùn guāng jiù lái dào le xiǎo dǎo de zuǒ jìn zhī chù ， què xiǎn de yuè fā de xiǎo xīn le ， chí yí zhe bù kěn jiàng luò ， lín xuān gǎn jué dào yǒu yī gǔ shén shí cóng shàng miàn fàng chū , xiǎo xīn yì yì de sōu suǒ 。
很快，那遁光就来到了小岛的左近之处，却显得越发的小心了，迟疑着不肯降落，林轩感觉到有一股神识从上面放出,小心翼翼的搜索。
For instance, that avatar could only exert about a fifth of his power, hindered by many constraints. This corporeal manifestation, however, could unleash half his abilities.
zú zú guò le yī dùn fàn de gōng fu ， nà dùn guāng zhōng cái chuán lái yī shēng tàn xī ， míng xiǎn dà sōng le yì kǒu qì ， pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn què yuè zhī yì ：“ tiān zhù wǒ yě ， zhè fù jìn dōu méi yǒu xiū shì de qì xī ， què yǒu dǎ dòu de hén jì ， nà lín xiǎo zi yǔ dú lóng lǎo mó de huà shēn ， bú shì tóng guī yú jìn ， jiù shì yī zhuī yī táo de lí kāi le zhè lǐ , hēi hēi ， hé bàng xiāng zhēng ， yú wēng dé lì ， nǐ men màn màn dǎ qù ， zuì hǎo pīn gè nǐ sǐ wǒ huó ， zhè lǐ de bǎo wù jiù guī wǒ 。
足足过了一顿饭的功夫，那遁光中才传来一声叹息，明显大松了一口气，颇有几分雀跃之意：“天助我也，这附近都没有修士的气息，却有打斗的痕迹，那林小子与毒龙老魔的化身，不是同归于尽，就是一追一逃的离开了这里,嘿嘿，河蚌相争，渔翁得利，你们慢慢打去，最好拼个你死我活，这里的宝物就归我。
Even less than half, but much more than a third. Moreover, this corporeal manifestation could even cultivate its own essence treasures. The extent of its powers were obvious; it could easily kill an Advanced Stage cultivator.
huà yīn gāng luò ， nà dùn guāng jiù gēn zhe là xià dì lái le 。
话音刚落，那遁光就跟着落下地来了。
Upon learning this, the palace-dressed woman did not dare to act rashly. Even if the Poison Dragon Demon Patriarch was not in the cave, she knew its exact location and would never risk going there.
zhèng shì lín xuān gāng gāng fàng guò de nà míng gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā nǎ yǒu fēn háo chǔ chǔ kě lián zhī yì ， gāng cái de yí mù dōu shì zhuāng chū lái dì 。
正是林轩刚刚放过的那名宫装女子，此时此刻，她哪有分毫楚楚可怜之意，刚才的一幕都是装出来地。
With that corporeal manifestation guarding, going forward without caution would be tantamount to suicide. She would not do such a foolish thing.
fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú ， zì jǐ zhè yī dǔ ， zǒng suàn shì bó duì le 。
富贵险中求，自己这一赌，总算是搏对了。
She stayed calm, gathering more information.
cǐ nǚ wǔ mèi de xiào zhe ， píng xīn lái shuō ， zhǎng dé hái bú cuò ， kě yī bié xiǎo rén dé zhì de zuǐ liǎn què ràng rén yàn wù 。 tā gěi lín xuān shuō de huà ， bàn zhēn bàn jiǎ ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， zài shì qǐn de shí hòu tōu tīng mèng huà ， dé zhī lǎo mó ， hái yǒu zhè me yí gè mì mì de cáng bǎo zhī suǒ ， rán ér xìn xī què bù jǐn xiàn yú cǐ de 。
此女妩媚的笑着，平心来说，长得还不错，可一别小人得志的嘴脸却让人厌恶。她给林轩说的话，半真半假，机缘巧合，在侍寝的时候偷听梦话，得知老魔，还有这么一个秘密的藏宝之所，然而信息却不仅限于此的。
It made sense for her to care so much. If she could obtain the Poison Dragon Demon Patriarch's treasures, her cultivation would have no worries. If lucky enough, there might even be some precious medicines in there, allowing her to advance to Profound Mysteries Stage. Even if she couldn't advance, offending that old monster was not a problem; if she lost, she could just hide somewhere remote. The old guy, even if he hated her to the bone, would have no way to find her.
dú lóng lǎo zǔ chú le suí shēn suǒ xié de jǐ jiàn bǎo wù ， qí yú de shēn jiā ， jǐn cáng yú cǐ ， nà kě shì tā shù wàn nián lái ， qiǎo qǔ háo duó ， hǎo bù róng yì cái shōu luó dào de cái fù ， fáng bèi zěn me kě néng rú cǐ jiǎn lòu ne ？
毒龙老祖除了随身所携的几件宝物，其余的身家，尽藏于此，那可是他数万年来，巧取豪夺，好不容易才收罗到的财富，防备怎么可能如此简陋呢？
But what about the corporeal manifestation?
zhè dòng fǔ suī rán yǐn bì ， dàn tā yě hài pà ， yǒu rén néng jī yuán qiǎo hé ， fā xiàn zhè lǐ ， suǒ yǐ zài dòng fǔ zhī zhōng ， cáng le tā de yī jù huà shēn zài zhè lǐ 。
这洞府虽然隐蔽，但他也害怕，有人能机缘巧合，发现这里，所以在洞府之中，藏了他的一具化身在这里。
The woman continued carefully observing. Over time, she indeed learned more information.
shēn wài huà shēn ， nà kě yǔ yòng yuán shén lín shí duó shě de fù shēn zhī tǐ dà bù xiāng tóng ， suī rán cóng yuán lái shuō ， pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， dàn yí gè shì lín shí ， suí shí dōu yǒu kě néng bèi pāo qì ， ér lìng wài yí gè ， zé yòng mì shù ， qiān chuí bǎi liàn de jì sì guò ， yuán shén yǔ ** wán měi róng hé 。
身外化身，那可与用元神临时夺舍的附身之体大不相同，虽然从原来说，颇有几分相似之处，但一个是临时，随时都有可能被抛弃，而另外一个，则用秘术，千锤百炼的祭祀过，元神与**完美融合。
Although guarding the cave, the corporeal manifestation remained in a state of pseudo-death and would not wake up even if someone broke through the door. Inside the cave was a large bronze coffin where the manifestation slept. It would only awaken when the lid was opened.
bǐ rú shuō ， dāng chū nà zǎ fù shēn zhī tǐ ， chēng sǐ le néng gòu fā huī chū tā wǔ fēn zhī yī de shí lì ， ér qiě hái chè zhǒu pǒ duō ， ér zhè shēn wài huà shēn bù tóng ， zú kě yǐ fā huī chū tā yī xiǎo bàn de shén tōng 。
比如说，当初那咋附身之体，撑死了能够发挥出他五分之一的实力，而且还掣肘颇多，而这身外化身不同，足可以发挥出他一小半的神通。
However, all the treasures were inside the coffin.
èr fēn zhī yī shàng bù zú ， dàn bǐ sān fēn zhī yī què yào duō dé duō 。 bù jǐn rú cǐ ， zhè shēn wài huà shēn shèn zhì hái kě yǐ zì jǐ xiū liàn běn mìng bǎo wù ， qí shén tōng rú hé ， jiù bù yòng duō shuō ， zhì shǎo miǎo shā lí hé hòu qī xiū shì shì jué méi yǒu wèn tí de 。
二分之一尚不足，但比三分之一却要多得多。不仅如此，这身外化身甚至还可以自己修炼本命宝物，其神通如何，就不用多说，至少秒杀离合后期修士是绝没有问题的。
Realizing this, she almost gave up hope. The Poison Dragon Demon Patriarch was truly cunning, setting such traps that it seemed like he wanted to take advantage of others. No matter how careful one was, they would inevitably wake the manifestation.
zài dé zhī zhè yì diǎn hòu ， gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ kě jiù bù gǎn qīng jǔ wàng dòng , jiù suàn dú lóng lǎo mó bù zài fǔ zhōng ， zì jǐ yòu qīng chǔ ， nà dòng fǔ de jù tǐ wèi zhì zài hé chù ， tā yě jué bù gǎn qù xún bǎo de 。
在得知这一点后，宫装女子可就不敢轻举妄动,就算毒龙老魔不在府中，自己又清楚，那洞府的具体位置在何处，他也绝不敢去寻宝的。
Unless they could defeat him, doing so would be suicide.
yǒu nà me yī jù shēn wài huà shēn shǒu zhe ， yǐ zì jǐ de shí lì ， mào mào rán qián qù ， jiǎn zhí yǔ zhǎo sǐ wú yí ， tā cái bú huì gàn zhè yàng de shǎ shì 。
有那么一具身外化身守着，以自己的实力，冒冒然前去，简直与找死无疑，她才不会干这样的傻事。
Originally, she had no intention of taking the treasures, but fate is fickle. Lin Xuan happened to arrive here, reviving her thoughts.
chén zhù qì ， liǎo jiě gèng duō de xiāo xī 。
沉住气，了解更多的消息。
Seeking fortune in danger, not only did she want to survive from Lin Xuan's hands, but she also daringly planned to use this boy for her benefit.

也难怪此女如此上心，如果能够得到毒龙老祖的宝物，自己后面的修炼可就无虞，如果运气不错，里面有共些灵丹妙药，自己说不定还可以晋级到洞玄期。就算不能晋级,又得罪了这老怪物，那又如何，打不赢，难道还躲不过，东海面积广间，自己随便找个荒僻的地点一躲，那老家伙，就算恨自己入骨，找不到人，还不是只有干瞪眼的。
The Thirty-Six Stratagems included luring a tiger into a trap and swallowing the wolf. The Poison Dragon Demon Patriarch's corporeal manifestation was formidable, but so was this boy who could kill an Advanced Stage cultivator in an instant. If their strength was similar, what would happen if they fought?
kě nà shēn wài huà shēn ， jiū jìng gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
可那身外化身，究竟该怎么办呢？
Two outcomes: either both perished or one chased while the other fled. In any case, that boy would not easily be eliminated by the manifestation.
cǐ nǚ jì xù xiǎo xīn liú yì , suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， jū rán zhēn de bèi tā zhī dào le gèng duō de xiāo xī 。
此女继续小心留意,随着时间的推移，居然真的被她知道了更多的消息。
If both died, it mattered little. If one chased and the other fled, there might not be enough time to take the treasures.

那身外化身虽然守护着洞府，但为了提升实力却一直处于假死的沉睡之中，就算有人将洞门轰破，进入到洞府他也不会醒来。
Then, this cave would become unguarded, making her a beneficiary.
ér zài dòng fǔ zhōng ， yǒu yī kǒu jù dà de tóng guān ， nà huà shēn jiù chén shuì zài lǐ miàn ， zhǐ yǒu dǎ kāi guān cái gài ， tā cái huì xǐng lái 。
而在洞府中，有一口巨大的铜棺，那化身就沉睡在里面，只有打开棺材盖，他才会醒来。
Of course, these were just speculations; the actual situation was uncertain, with significant risks. (To be continued)
True Monarch White Bone analyzed the situation with a resounding voice.
"Alright," said Old Patriarch Poison Dragon, nodding. "Friend, your words are reasonable. I will remain here to guard this place."
"Haha, Friend, you have made the correct choice. Together, we will definitely find the entrance to that top-grade ore vein."
At an unknown distance in the sea, a loud explosion echoed into his ears. The seven strange stone pillars finally exploded into dust. A glimmer of light flashed, revealing a dark crack.
The width was several feet, and wind blew from outside, producing strange and terrifying sounds. Lin Xuan tried to probe with his spirit sense but it was mysteriously bounced back.
Lin Xuan felt somewhat surprised that there were restrictions on spirit senses in this place. Looking at the black crack, he wore a serious expression.
"Senior, I have already found the den of the old monster. Can I leave now?" A weak voice entered his ears. The palace-dressed woman came to his side with a respectful look.
"Leave?"
"Yes, I have fulfilled my promise, and you will not break your word, right?" She raised her head, her face full of pitiful expressions.
"Do not worry, Senior. I will never reveal your whereabouts. Actually, by doing this, I have betrayed the Poison Dragon Demon Patriarch. If he finds out, I am sure to suffer the pain of soul extraction. So you do not need to worry that I will leak information." She analyzed carefully, fearing Lin Xuan would break his promise. After all, for cultivators, breaking one's word was as common as eating.
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan did not immediately go in to search for treasure. He hesitated slightly and released several sword qi blasts, causing the surroundings to be shattered as if a battle had occurred. Then he found a hidden location, quietly hiding and practicing his concealment technique.
Hopefully, it was just his overthinking. Otherwise, this quest might not go as smoothly as expected.
Time slowly passed, and soon the sun set behind the hill, making the sky grow darker.
For Lin Xuan, however, this had no effect. Even without using secret techniques like Spirit Eyes, a cultivator's eyesight could still clearly see all surroundings.
The evening breeze blew gently, with only occasional waves crashing nearby. Could it be that he was overthinking?
Lin Xuan touched his forehead, feeling somewhat uncertain. "Night is long and dreams are many." He could not wait here indefinitely. If the Old Patriarch Poison Dragon got news, he would end up empty-handed.
Cautiousness did no harm, but being too cautious might also hinder success.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Lin Xuan prepared to act. After all, he had only caught some vague doubts and no concrete evidence. Perhaps it was just overthinking.
Just as he was about to emerge from hiding, a faint flash of light appeared on the horizon.
Lin Xuan's spirit sense immediately detected that direction. The light was very hazy, with almost no exposure of qi. However, his spirit sense was far superior to ordinary cultivators. Even if the person tried to hide their tracks, it would be like trying to fool a dream.
Silver light flashed, making the hazy light clear and revealing the figure inside. Lin Xuan's lips curled in a mocking smile: "Hmph, this is indeed that woman. What big audacity! I have honored my promise by letting you go. This time, dying is your own fault."
Though he thought so, he did not immediately reveal himself.
Since she had come, there was no way she would leave alive. Killing her was just a matter of raising his hand. Before that, he wanted to see what her purpose was.
There were likely traps in this secret treasure place. Letting this woman clear the path for him seemed like a good idea.
Lin Xuan continued hiding, but every move of the woman was under his control.
Soon, the light approached the small island, becoming more cautious and hesitant about landing. Lin Xuan felt a spirit sense emanating from above, carefully searching.
After a long time, the light emitted a sigh of relief: "Heaven helps me. There are no cultivator traces nearby, but there are signs of combat. The young man Lin and the Poison Dragon's avatar either perished together or fled separately."
"Ha ha, like two clams fighting, leaving the fisherman to benefit. You can fight it out until you both die. The treasures here will be mine."
The light descended as he spoke.
It was indeed the palace-dressed woman who had just been released by Lin Xuan. At this moment, she showed no sign of being pitiful. That scene was all an act.
Seeking fortune in danger, her gamble paid off. She smiled seductively; although not unattractive, her self-satisfied expression was repulsive. Her words to Lin Xuan were half true and half false. By chance, while serving as a concubine, she overheard the old monster's dream and learned of this secret treasure place. However, the information went beyond that.
The Poison Dragon Demon Patriarch had hidden most of his wealth here, gathered through cunning means over thousands of years. How could his defenses be so simple?
Although the cave was concealed, he feared someone might discover it by chance. Thus, he hid a corporeal manifestation inside.
A corporeal manifestation differed greatly from an avatar taken temporarily with his essence. While both had similarities, one was temporary and could be abandoned at any time, while the other was perfected through secret rituals, with his essence perfectly fused with his physical body.
For instance, that avatar could only exert about a fifth of his power, hindered by many constraints. This corporeal manifestation, however, could unleash half his abilities.
Even less than half, but much more than a third. Moreover, this corporeal manifestation could even cultivate its own essence treasures. The extent of its powers were obvious; it could easily kill an Advanced Stage cultivator.
Upon learning this, the palace-dressed woman did not dare to act rashly. Even if the Poison Dragon Demon Patriarch was not in the cave, she knew its exact location and would never risk going there.
With that corporeal manifestation guarding, going forward without caution would be tantamount to suicide. She would not do such a foolish thing.
She stayed calm, gathering more information.
It made sense for her to care so much. If she could obtain the Poison Dragon Demon Patriarch's treasures, her cultivation would have no worries. If lucky enough, there might even be some precious medicines in there, allowing her to advance to Profound Mysteries Stage. Even if she couldn't advance, offending that old monster was not a problem; if she lost, she could just hide somewhere remote. The old guy, even if he hated her to the bone, would have no way to find her.
But what about the corporeal manifestation?
The woman continued carefully observing. Over time, she indeed learned more information.
Although guarding the cave, the corporeal manifestation remained in a state of pseudo-death and would not wake up even if someone broke through the door. Inside the cave was a large bronze coffin where the manifestation slept. It would only awaken when the lid was opened.
However, all the treasures were inside the coffin.
Realizing this, she almost gave up hope. The Poison Dragon Demon Patriarch was truly cunning, setting such traps that it seemed like he wanted to take advantage of others. No matter how careful one was, they would inevitably wake the manifestation.
Unless they could defeat him, doing so would be suicide.
Originally, she had no intention of taking the treasures, but fate is fickle. Lin Xuan happened to arrive here, reviving her thoughts.
Seeking fortune in danger, not only did she want to survive from Lin Xuan's hands, but she also daringly planned to use this boy for her benefit.
The Thirty-Six Stratagems included luring a tiger into a trap and swallowing the wolf. The Poison Dragon Demon Patriarch's corporeal manifestation was formidable, but so was this boy who could kill an Advanced Stage cultivator in an instant.
