“ bǎi cǎo xiān zi jìn jiē dào dòng xuán ， nà wèi hé … guì pài de shí lì què zhè me ruò ？, lín xuān chén yín zhe kāi kǒu le ， yuán lái yǐ wéi ， zhǐ shì yī bù qǐ yǎn de xiǎo mén pài ， rú jīn kàn lái ， qíng kuàng yǔ yuán xiān suǒ xiǎng ， wán quán bù yí yàng ， néng gòu jìn jiē dào dòng xuán ， zhè bǎi cǎo xiān zi de zī zhì zàn qiě bù shuō ， suǒ xiū liàn de gōng fǎ ， jué duì chà bu duō nǎ lǐ qù de 。
“百草仙子进阶到洞玄，那为何…贵派的实力却这么弱？,林轩沉吟着开口了，原来以为，只是一不起眼的小门派，如今看来，情况与原先所想，完全不一样，能够进阶到洞玄，这百草仙子的资质暂且不说，所修炼的功法，绝对差不多哪里去的。
"Senior, why is your sect so weak if the Fairy of a Hundred Herbs has advanced to the Profound Abyss stage?" Lin Xuan pondered as he spoke. He had originally thought it was just an insignificant small sect, but now, things were quite different from his initial impression. For the Fairy of a Hundred Herbs to advance to the Profound Abyss stage, her talent alone wasn't enough; the cultivation techniques she practiced must be on par with those of other advanced practitioners.
“ ràng qián bèi jiàn xiào le ， xiān zǔ yīng wǔ ， dōu shì wǎn bèi dì zǐ men bù xiào ， běn mén yě chāng shèng guò ， kě xī hòu lái jīng lì le yī xiē fēng yǔ ， què zhú jiàn mò luò xià qù ， lián gè zhǒng gōng fǎ ， dōu yí shī le dà bàn ， yǐ zhì yú zhè 《 bǎi cǎo jué 》， biàn dé cán quē bù quán 。, shàng guān mù yǔ tàn le kǒu qì ， yǎn shén zhōng mǎn shì luò jì ， lín xuān zé suí kǒu ān wèi le jǐ jù ， cāng hǎi sāng tián ， shì shì biàn qiān ， yí gè mén pài de qǐ qǐ luò luò ， shì zài zhèng cháng bù guò ， píng xīn lái shuō ， bǎi cǎo mén méi yǒu zài màn cháng de suì yuè zhōng xiāo shī , ràng dào tǒng chuán chéng xià qù ， zhè jiù fēi cháng liǎo bù qǐ 。
“让前辈见笑了，先祖英武，都是晚辈弟子们不肖，本门也昌盛过，可惜后来经历了一些风雨，却逐渐没落下去，连各种功法，都遗失了大半，以至于这《百草诀》，变得残缺不全。,上官暮雨叹了口气，眼神中满是落寂，林轩则随口安慰了几句，沧海桑田，世事变迁，一个门派的起起落落，是再正常不过，平心来说，百草门没有在漫长的岁月中消失,让道统传承下去，这就非常了不起。
"Senior, please forgive me for laughing at you," said Shangguan Mudouyu, her eyes filled with melancholy. Lin Xuan comforted her briefly. The vicissitudes of time and changes in the world were common; it was remarkable that the Hundred Herbs Sect had managed to survive through such long years.
dāng rán ， lín xuān xīn zhōng hái yǒu yí huò ， zhào cǐ nǚ suǒ shuō ， xī rì de bǎi cǎo xiān zi ， jué fēi chí zhōng wù ， wèi hé yào jiāng bǎi cǎo mén de zǒng duò , shè zài zhè rú tóng qióng xiāng pì rǎng de dà huāng hǎi yù ne ？
当然，林轩心中还有疑惑，照此女所说，昔日的百草仙子，绝非池中物，为何要将百草门的总舵,设在这如同穷乡僻壤的大荒海域呢？
However, there was still a question lingering in Lin Xuan's mind: if this Fairy of a Hundred Herbs was once a formidable figure, why would she set up her main base in such a desolate and remote area like the Great Wilderness Sea?
lüè yī chí yí ， lín xuān méi yǒu wèn zhè ge wèn tí ， jiāo qiǎn yán shēn nǎi shì dà jì ， yǐ hòu yǒu de shì shí jiān ， xiàn zài bù jí 。
略一迟疑，林轩没有问这个问题，交浅言深乃是大忌，以后有的是时间，现在不急。
After some hesitation, he decided not to ask. Speaking too deeply before knowing more could be risky; there was plenty of time for further discussion.
bù guò kàn xiàng cǐ nǚ de biǎo qíng ， lín xuān què xiǎn de gèng cí hé le xiē ：“ suǒ wèi míng míng zhōng zì yǒu tiān yì ， bù mán dào yǒu ， zài xià yǔ xuán fèng xiān zi lái zì tóng yī xià jiè ， ér qiě jī yuán qiǎo hé ， dé dào le xuán fèng zǔ shī de xiū xiān zhēn jiě ， shuō shì tā de zài chuán dì zǐ ， yě bù wèi guò ， bǎi cǎo qián bèi jì rán yǔ shī zūn nǎi shì hǎo yǒu ， nà wǒ men yě bù suàn wài rén le 。,“ qián bèi suǒ yán bù cuò ， zhè hái zhēn shì qiǎo hé 。, cǐ nǚ tóng yàng dà xǐ ， yǐ bǎi cǎo mén xiàn zài de qíng kuàng ， yǒu yī lí hé qī xiū shì zuò kào shān ， tā shì qiú zhī bù dé ， kàn lái ， nà jí jiāng dào lái de dà jié yě kě yíng rèn ér jiě 。
不过看向此女的表情，林轩却显得更慈和了些：“所谓冥冥中自有天意，不瞒道友，在下与玄凤仙子来自同一下界，而且机缘巧合，得到了玄凤祖师的修仙真解，说是她的再传弟子，也不为过，百草前辈既然与师尊乃是好友，那我们也不算外人了。,“前辈所言不错，这还真是巧合。,此女同样大喜，以百草门现在的情况，有一离合期修士做靠山，她是求之不得，看来，那即将到来的大劫也可迎刃而解。
Nevertheless, Lin Xuan's expression softened as he looked at her: "There is fate, Senior. I come from the same plane of existence as you, and we have a slight connection. However, it's still a long way to go before reaching my goal."
“ ń , lín mǒu yǒu xiē fá le ， gǎi rì yǒu kòng ， zài yǔ dào yǒu xián liáo rú hé ？, lín xuān dàn dàn de shuō 。
“嗯,林某有些乏了，改日有空，再与道友闲聊如何？,林轩淡淡的说。
Sighing, he knew that immediate solutions were not possible; for now, he needed to focus on his current tasks.
“ shì qiè shēn hú tú , dǎ rǎo qián bèi xiū xī le ， nà wǎn bèi zàn qiě gào cí ， qián bèi yǒu shén me yāo qiú ， jǐn guǎn fēn fù ， qiān wàn bú yào kè qì de 。, cǐ nǚ yíng yíng yī fú ， rán hòu gōng jìng de tuì xià le 。
“是妾身糊涂,打扰前辈休息了，那晚辈暂且告辞，前辈有什么要求，尽管吩咐，千万不要客气的。,此女盈盈一拂，然后恭敬的退下了。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan left the cave dwelling and took out several array flags from his robes, setting them up around him. He wasn't worried about potential threats from the Hundred Herbs Sect; even with a thousand times their courage, nothing would happen. But caution was always wise, and he had grown accustomed to having some form of protection in his cultivation place.
lín xuān mù guāng luò xiàng nà bì huà ， xuán fèng xiān zi ， jū rán zài zhè lǐ ， fā xiàn le tā de fāng ， jiù bù zhī dào cǐ nǚ shēn zài hé chù ， rú guǒ néng gòu dé dào fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué hòu miàn de xiū liàn zhī fǎ ， nà jiù hǎo le 。
林轩目光落像那壁画，玄凤仙子，居然在这里，发现了她的芳，就不知道此女身在何处，如果能够得到凤舞九天诀后面的修炼之法，那就好了。
After completing these preparations, Lin Xuan returned to the cave dwelling.
suī rán lín xuān shǒu zhōng , yǐ jīng yǒu le mò yuè tiān wū jué ， dàn yī zhǔ yī fǔ ， zhèng qí xiāng fǔ ， cǐ nǎi zhèng dào yě 。
虽然林轩手中,已经有了墨月天巫诀，但一主一辅，正奇相辅，此乃正道也。
"Keh keh keh." He took off his shirt, revealing that his chest and abdomen wounds were still not healed. The magic sword's power was terrifying; its energy had invaded his meridians, which he had sealed with his spiritual energy. During his recent travels, he hadn't had the time to deal with it properly.
fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué nǎi shì mó fǎng zhēn líng fèng huáng de mì shù ， rú guǒ yǒu kě néng ， lín xuān zì rán bù yuàn yì fàng qì de 。
凤舞九天诀乃是模仿真灵凤凰的秘术，如果有可能，林轩自然不愿意放弃的。
If he didn't address these issues now, how could he continue his cultivation?
kě xī ， suī rán zhè bǎi cǎo mén yǔ xuán fèng xiān zi chě shàng le yì diǎn guān xì ， dàn jù lí zì jǐ de mù biāo ， yī jiù shì xiāng gé shí wàn bā qiān lǐ ， yáo yáo wú qī 。
可惜，虽然这百草门与玄凤仙子扯上了一点关系，但距离自己的目标，依旧是相隔十万八千里，遥遥无期。
With this in mind, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and began to clear away the隐患.
tàn le kǒu qì , jí jiě jué bù liǎo wèn tí ， dāng wù zhī jí ， hái shì zuò hǎo yǎn qián de shì 。
叹了口气,急解决不了问题，当务之急，还是做好眼前的事。
First, he needed to remove the threat.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān zǒu chū le dòng fǔ ， rán hòu cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū jǐ tào zhèn qí ， zài zhōu wéi bù xià le , lín xuān bìng fēi dān xīn bǎi cǎo mén de rén , huì duì zì jǐ bù lì , biàn shì jiè tā men yī wàn gè dǎn zi ， yě bú huì fā shēng zhè zhǒng shì ， zhǐ bù guò xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò ， lín xuān yǐ jīng xí guàn le ， zì jǐ de xiū liàn zhī suǒ ， zǒng yào yǒu yī xiē jǐng jiè de 。
心中如此想着，林轩走出了洞府，然后从怀中取出几套阵旗，在周围布下了,林轩并非担心百草门的人,会对自己不利,便是借他们一万个胆子，也不会发生这种事，只不过小心无大错，林轩已经习惯了，自己的修炼之所，总要有一些警戒的。
The wounds might be frightening on the surface, but the real problem was the sword energy that had invaded his body. Once it was expelled, healing such minor injuries would be a simple matter for a cultivator.
zuò hǎo zhè yī qiè hòu ， lín xuān cái huí dào dòng fǔ zhōng 。
做好这一切后，林轩才回到洞府中。
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and delved into his body to investigate.
“ hāi hāi ké 。, tā tuō diào shàng yī ， xiōng kǒu yǔ xiǎo fù de shāng ， jū rán réng wèi quán yù ， nà mó jiàn kě pà zhī jí ， jiàn qì yǐ jīng qīn rù dào le jīng mài lǐ ， bèi zì jǐ yòng líng lì suǒ zhù ， qián duàn shí qī ， yì zhí zài gǎn lù ， suǒ yǐ gù bù shàng chǔ lǐ de ， rú jīn shì yì shí yí ， jì rán yǒu le ān dìng de xiū liàn zhī suǒ ， dāng rán yào xiān jiāng wán jí qù chú 。
“咳咳咳。,他脱掉上衣，胸口与小腹的伤，居然仍未痊愈，那魔剑可怕之极，剑气已经侵入到了经脉里，被自己用灵力锁住，前段时期，一直在赶路，所以顾不上处理的，如今事易时移，既然有了安定的修炼之所，当然要先将顽疾去除。
Near the wound, several strands of black energy roamed like demons, but they were all contained by Lin Xuan's spiritual energy, preventing them from escaping.
shāng bù hǎo ， yòu zěn me néng gòu jìn xíng xiū liàn ne ？
伤不好，又怎么能够进行修炼呢？
On the surface, it seemed that he had trapped these energies, but they remained in the nearby meridians. It was precisely because of their destructive effects that the wounds couldn't heal properly.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yǐ jīng guī guī jǔ jǔ de pán xī ér zuò 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩已经规规矩矩的盘膝而坐。
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before sending out a small portion of his consciousness. This small version of himself was without a physical body, unlike an infant yin-yang spirit, yet he could still control his spiritual energy. The little guy stretched out his hands and nearby spiritual energy coalesced into a dragon-like form, which enveloped him as he rushed towards the black sword energy.
xiān jiě chú le hòu huàn zài shuō 。
先解除了后患再说。
His goal was to capture it.
bié kàn wài miàn de shāng kǒu kě bù ， zhēn zhèng má fán de ， shì rù qīn dào tǐ è nèi de jiàn qì ， zhǐ yào jiāng xī qū chú ， duì yú xiū xiān zhě ， zhì yù zhè diǎn ** de chuāng shāng bù guò jǔ shǒu zhī láo bà le 。
别看外面的伤口可怖，真正麻烦的，是入侵到体垩内的剑气，只要将牺驱除，对于修仙者，治愈这点**的创伤不过举手之劳罢了。
However, that sword energy seemed to have some sort of consciousness and didn't want to be captured, transforming into a small black snake. Lin Xuan wasn't concerned; he grabbed it with his right hand and teleported out of his body.
lín xuān bì shàng shuāng mù ， jiāng xīn shén chén rù tǐ è nèi chá tàn qǐ lái le 。
林轩闭上双目，将心神沉入体垩内查探起来了。
The black energy fell into his palm.
zhǐ jiàn zài shāng kǒu de fù jìn ， jǐ lǚ hēi qì yǒu rú yāo mó ， zài sì tóng héng chōng zhí zhuàng zhe ， bù guò nà lǐ dōu bù mǎn le lín xuān de fǎ lì ， ràng hēi sè de jiàn qì chōng bù chū qù 。
只见在伤口的附近，几缕黑气有如妖魔，在四同横冲直撞着，不过那里都布满了林轩的法力，让黑色的剑气冲不出去。
Then, the little version of himself reappeared from above his head, leaving only a tiny thread of sword energy in his hands.
biǎo miàn shàng ， shì jiāng xī men kùn zhù ， bù guò yī jiù tíng liú zài shāng kǒu fù jìn de jīng mài zhōng ， zhèng shì yīn wèi xī men de pò huài zuò yòng ， ràng shāng kǒu yì zhí wú fǎ yù hé 。
表面上，是将牺们困住，不过依旧停留在伤口附近的经脉中，正是因为牺们的破坏作用，让伤口一直无法愈合。
Sss...
lín xuān lüè yī chí yí ， jiù jiāng shén shí fēn le yì diǎn chū qù ， nà shì yí gè hěn xiǎo hěn xiǎo de lín xuān ， yǔ yuán yīng bù tóng ， zhè shén shí huà xíng zhī wù shì méi yǒu shēn tǐ de ， dàn zhè bìng bù yǐng xiǎng tā duì fǎ lì de cāo kòng ， xiǎo jiā huo zhāng kāi shǒu ， fù jìn de líng lì jù lóng guò lái ， rú kǎi jiǎ yì bān ， jiāng xiǎo jiā huo bāo guǒ ， suí hòu tā jiù xiàng zhe yī lóu hēi sè de jiàn qì chōng guò qù le 。
林轩略一迟疑，就将神识分了一点出去，那是一个很小很小的林轩，与元婴不同，这神识化形之物是没有身体的，但这并不影响他对法力的操控，小家伙张开手，附近的灵力巨龙过来，如铠甲一般，将小家伙包裹，随后他就向着一偻黑色的剑气冲过去了。
That thing transformed into a grotesque demonic creature.
mù dì shì zhuō zhù 。
目的是捉住。
"Hmph. You think you can still resist at this point?" Lin Xuan had no affection for it after its prolonged torment. He shook his hand, and three-colored flames appeared, enveloping the black energy.
rán ér nà jiàn qì què fǎng fú xiàng yǒu líng xìng shì de ， bìng bù yuàn yì shù shǒu jiù fù ， huà wèi le yī tiáo hēi sè de mó shé ， dāng rán ， yě shì jí xiǎo jí xiǎo de nà zhǒng 。
然而那剑气却仿佛像有灵性似的，并不愿意束手就缚，化为了一条黑色的魔蛇，当然，也是极小极小的那种。
It was just an insubstantial entity; could it really fight against his Illusory Heavenly Fire?
zhōng lín xuān bìng bù zài hū ， chōng shàng qù yī bǎ zhuō zhù 。
中林轩并不在乎，冲上去一把捉住。
Indeed, although the black energy was fierce, it quickly vanished in the Illusory Heavenly Fire.
rán hòu yī shǎn ， yǐ chū xiàn zài le shēn tǐ wài 。
然后一闪，已出现在了身体外。
Lin Xuan's expression was satisfied. Just as he was about to retract the spiritual fire, a movement caught his attention.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tān kāi , tā jiù luò rù le zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn 。
林轩右手摊开,他就落入了掌心里面。
He brought his hand close to his eyes and examined it closely.
suí hòu shén shí huà xíng de xiǎo lín xuān ， yòu cóng tóu dǐng mò rù ， tā shǒu zhōng jiù zhǐ shèng xià xì ruò yóu sī de nà dào wēi xiǎo de jiàn qì le 。
随后神识化形的小林轩，又从头顶没入，他手中就只剩下细若游丝的那道微小的剑气了。
After a moment, Lin Xuan said, "Not bad, not bad. This black energy has actually increased the corrosive power of my Illusory Heavenly Fire."
sī ……
嘶……
A loud laugh echoed through the cave, shaking the entire cavern. Lin Xuan wished he had more wounds so that there would be even more black energy to refine his Illusory Heavenly Fire.
nà dōng xī yī shǎn ， jū rán huà chéng le yī zhēng níng de mó wù 。
那东西一闪，居然化成了一狰狞的魔物。
Turning misfortune into fortune, Lin Xuan was naturally overjoyed.
“ hēng ， sǐ dào lín tóu ， hái xiǎng yào fǎn kàng me ？, zhè dōng xī zhé mó le zì jǐ rú cǐ jiǔ ， lín xuān duì xī ， zì rán shì sī háo hǎo gǎn méi yǒu ， shǒu zhǎng yī dǒu ， sān sè huǒ yàn fú xiàn ér chū ， jiāng nà hēi qì bāo guǒ 。
“哼，死到临头，还想要反抗么？,这东西折磨了自己如此久，林轩对牺，自然是丝毫好感没有，手掌一抖，三色火焰浮现而出，将那黑气包裹。
The process might have seemed simple, but it actually took two hours. Feeling tired, he rested briefly before sitting cross-legged again and repeating the process of expelling and refining the black energy into his Illusory Heavenly Fire.
bù guò shì wú gēn zhī wù ， nán dào hái néng dòu zì jǐ de huàn líng tiān huǒ ？
不过是无根之物，难道还能斗自己的幻灵天火？
Two days passed quickly.
guǒ rán ， hēi qì zòng rán xiōng lì ， dàn hěn kuài ， jiù mǐn miè zài le huàn líng tiān huǒ lǐ 。
果然，黑气纵然凶厉，但很快，就泯灭在了幻灵天火里。
Lin Xuan finally refined the last bit of black energy into his Illusory Heavenly Fire. With the threat gone, he stretched out his hand and tapped a small jade bottle from his pouch.
lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng shí fēn mǎn yì ， zhèng xiǎng jiāng líng huǒ shōu huí ， què méi shāo yī dòng ， xiàng shì fā xiàn le shén me 。
林轩脸上的表情十分满意，正想将灵火收回，却眉梢一动，像是发现了什么。
He removed the stopper and the fragrance filled the air as he applied a white ointment to the wound.
tā jiāng shǒu zhǎng còu dào yǎn pīn le 。
他将手掌凑到眼拼了。
Miraculously, the wound that was originally the size of a thumb began to heal at an incredible speed. In no time, Lin Xuan's skin looked brand new, completely unmarred by the magical incision.
guò le piàn kè 。
过了片刻。
"This flesh-generating and blood-invigorating balm works well," Lin Xuan muttered to himself.
“ bù cuò bù cuò ， hái zhēn shì yīn huò dé fú ， méi xiǎng dào zhè hēi qì ， néng gòu zēng jiā huàn líng tiān huǒ zhōng de fǔ shí zhī lì 。, dà xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhèn dé zhěng gè shān dòng , dōu wēng wēng zuò xiǎng ， lín xuān hèn bù dé shēn shàng de shāng kǒu zài duō jǐ gè ， nà yàng jiù yǒu gèng duō de hēi qì ， lái xiū liàn huàn líng tiān huǒ 。
“不错不错，还真是因祸得福，没想到这黑气，能够增加幻灵天火中的腐蚀之力。,大笑声传入耳朵，震得整个山洞,都嗡嗡作响，林轩恨不得身上的伤口再多几个，那样就有更多的黑气，来修炼幻灵天火。
This ointment was similar to common first-aid salves in the mortal world, but in the cultivation realm, such things were far more powerful. Reviving the dead wasn't possible, but reviving bones was not difficult at all; it was a simple matter.
huài shì biàn hǎo shì ， lín xuān zì rán shì yī fù xǐ bù zì shèng de yàng zi 。
坏事变好事，林轩自然是一副喜不自胜的样子。
However, this kind of "miracle drug" that could regenerate flesh and bone would be considered worthless in the cultivation realm.
gāng cái de guò chéng shuō qǐ lái jiǎn dān ， qí shí què huā fèi le liǎng gè shí chén zhī jiǔ 。
刚才的过程说起来简单，其实却花费了两个时辰之久。
There were many types of elixirs, but only those that increased one's spiritual energy or helped break through barriers were highly sought after by cultivators. Such healing ointments were mere trinkets; for example, this flesh-generating and blood-invigorating balm could be bought for just ten low-grade crystal stones.
lín xuān yě gǎn dào yǒu xiē pí bèi ， yú shì lüè zuò xiē xī ， rán hòu chóng xīn pán xī ér zuò ， kāi shǐ rú fǎ páo zhì de qū chú hēi qì ， rán hòu jiāng qí liàn huà rù huàn líng tiān huǒ 。
林轩也感到有些疲惫，于是略作歇息，然后重新盘膝而坐，开始如法炮制的驱除黑气，然后将其炼化入幻灵天火。
With his injuries healed, Lin Xuan returned to his bedroom, where he washed himself with water.
liǎng tiān de shí jiān hěn kuài jiù guò qù le 。
两天的时间很快就过去了。
He actually didn't leave the cave dwelling; as a Separation Stage cultivator, Lin Xuan could manipulate primordial energy. He directly took nearby water elemental energy and turned it into bathing water.
lín xuān jiāng zuì hòu yī sī hēi qì liàn huà rù huàn líng tiān huǒ ， wán jí yǐ jīng qū chú ， lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài xū yú dài shàng yī pāi ， yí gè xiǎo qiǎo de yù píng fēi lüè chū lái 。
林轩将最后一丝黑气炼化入幻灵天火，顽疾已经驱除，林轩伸出手来，在须臾袋上一拍，一个小巧的玉瓶飞掠出来。
After cleaning up, Lin Xuan slept soundly for three hours. This trip had been very fruitful, but he nearly perished in the process. Now that his injuries were healed and he had a place to stay, he needed to rest properly.
bá kāi píng sāi ， fāng xiāng mǎn yì ， lín xuān jiāng yī zhǒng rǔ bái sè shì yào gāo zhuàng dōng xī ， tú mǒ zài shāng kǒu biǎo miàn 。
拔开瓶塞，芳香满溢，林轩将一种乳白色是药膏状东西，涂抹在伤口表面。
The next morning, Lin Xuan felt refreshed as he arrived at the training hall.
bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le ， zhǐ jiàn yuán běn yǒu mǔ zhǐ dà xiǎo ， xiān xuè lín lí de shāng kǒu ， jū rán yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù ， kāi shǐ yù hé 。
不可思议的一幕发生了，只见原本有拇指大小，鲜血淋漓的伤口，居然以肉眼可见的速度，开始愈合。
With a wave of his sleeve, a beam of light shot out from his waist, landing with several storage bags. Each was bulging with treasures, along with one piece of divine gold.
bù kě yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， lín xuān de jī fū ， jiù yòu guāng jié rú xīn ， gēn běn bù xiǎng bèi fǎ shù dòng chuān guò 。
不可一盏茶的功夫，林轩的肌肤，就又光洁如新，根本不想被法术洞穿过。
Wait, these storage bags were collected by the Ancient Dragon Grandmaster over many years; where did this divine gold come from?
“ zhè shēng jī huó xuè gāo xiào guǒ hái bú cuò 。, lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ de shuō 。
“这生肌活血膏效果还不错。,林轩喃喃自语的说。
Lin Xuan felt surprised but quickly realized that it came from the third floor of the last building in Danyue Sect's main base. The elixirs inside had been taken by Jin Yi, and they were incredibly powerful—eating them could boost a cultivator's realm several levels within two cups of tea.
zhè dōng xī ， qí shí jiù xiāng dāng yú shì sú de jīn chuāng yào ， xiū xiān jiè de dōng xī ， zì rán yuǎn bǐ fán jiān shén qí ， huó sǐ rén zuò bú dào , dàn ròu bái gǔ ， hái shì méi yǒu shén me nán dù ， qīng qīng sōng sōng de 。
这东西，其实就相当于世俗的金疮药，修仙界的东西，自然远比凡间神奇，活死人做不到,但肉白骨，还是没有什么难度，轻轻松松的。
Since he didn't know what happened to the elixir, it ended up in Jin Yi's hands. Later, Lin Xuan took action, reclaiming the divine gold from him.
bù guò jiù shì zhè zhǒng fàng dào shì sú ， huì yǐn lái xīng fēng xuè miàn wú shù de “ shén yào ” zài xiū xiān jiè ， què shǔ yú bù zhí qián de dōng xī 。
不过就是这种放到世俗，会引来腥风血面无数的“神药”在修仙界，却属于不值钱的东西。
If his memory served correctly, he hadn't researched this item before.
dān yào zhǒng lèi hěn duō ， yì bān zhǐ yǒu zēng jiā fǎ lì yǔ tū pò píng jǐng de ， cái huì shòu dào xiū shì men zhuī bàng ， zhì yú zhè zhǒng shāng yào xìng zhì dì ， gēn běn jiù shǔ yú dì tān huò ， bǐ rú shuō zhè zhǒng kě yǐ ròu bái gǔ de shēng jī huó xuè gāo ， shí kuài xià pǐn jīng shí ， jiù kě yǐ mǎi dào yī píng le 。
丹药种类很多，一般只有增加法力与突破瓶颈的，才会受到修士们追棒，至于这种伤药性质的，根本就属于地摊货，比如说这种可以肉白骨的生肌活血膏，十块下品晶石，就可以买到一瓶了。
He had been careless; Lin Xuan rubbed his head but decided that studying it now wasn't too late.
shāng shì yǐ rán quán yù ， lín xuān huí dào wò shì ， dǎ shuǐ xǐ le gè zǎo 。
伤势已然痊愈，林轩回到卧室，打水洗了个澡。
With a wave of his sleeve, the divine gold was brought over. It was only one foot long and looked extremely delicate.
shuō shì dǎ shuǐ ， qí shí tā gēn běn jiù méi yǒu chū qù ， zuò wéi lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān shì kě yǐ cāo zòng tiān dì yuán qì de ， zhí jiē jiāng fù jìn de shuǐ yuán qì qǔ lái ， jiù biàn chéng xǐ zǎo shuǐ le 。
说是打水，其实他根本就没有出去，作为离合期修仙者，林轩是可以操纵天地元气的，直接将附近的水元气取来，就变成洗澡水了。
Lin Xuan held it in his hands, examining it closely. Unfortunately, there was only one elixir, which had been taken by Jin Yi. If he could have found another such item, he wouldn't need to fear encountering Profound Abyss cultivators anymore.
qīng xǐ gān jìng yǐ hòu ， lín xuān dǎo tóu dà shuì le sān jué ， zhè cì wài chū ， shōu huò fēi cháng fēng fù ， dàn què chà yì diǎn yǔn luò ， rú jīn shāng hǎo le ， yòu yǒu le luò jiǎo zhī suǒ ， dāng rán yào hǎo hǎo xiū xī yī fān de 。
清洗干净以后，林轩倒头大睡了三觉，这次外出，收获非常丰富，但却差一点陨落，如今伤好了，又有了落脚之所，当然要好好休息一番的。
The divine gold itself wasn't a magical weapon; however, when Lin Xuan gripped it, it felt incredibly hard. He didn't know what material was used but suspected that it wasn't an ordinary object.
dì èr tiān qǐ lái ， lín xuān shén qīng qì shuǎng , suí hòu lái dào liàn gōng fáng 。
第二天起来，林轩神清气爽,随后来到练功房。
Unfortunately, even with spiritual energy input, there was no effect. Lin Xuan released his consciousness and searched inch by inch. Suddenly, he noticed a hidden compartment in the divine gold. Could this be...?
xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào guāng xiá cóng yāo jiān fēi lüè ér chū ， là xià yǐ hòu ， què shì qī bā gè chǔ wù dài ， měi yí gè dōu zhàng gǔ gǔ ， chú cǐ yǐ wài ， hái yǒu yí gè shén jīn 。
袖袍一拂，一道光霞从腰间飞掠而出，落下以后，却是七八个储物袋，每一个都胀鼓鼓，除此以外，还有一个神金。
His thoughts raced as excitement surged through him. He carefully extended his finger and pressed it on a certain part of the divine gold, which opened with a click. A small jade box appeared!
"Senior, why is your sect so weak if the Fairy of a Hundred Herbs has advanced to the Profound Abyss stage?" Lin Xuan pondered as he spoke. He had originally thought it was just an insignificant small sect, but now, things were quite different from his initial impression. For the Fairy of a Hundred Herbs to advance to the Profound Abyss stage, her talent alone wasn't enough; the cultivation techniques she practiced must be on par with those of other advanced practitioners.
"Senior, please forgive me for laughing at you," said Shangguan Mudouyu, her eyes filled with melancholy. Lin Xuan comforted her briefly. The vicissitudes of time and changes in the world were common; it was remarkable that the Hundred Herbs Sect had managed to survive through such long years.
However, there was still a question lingering in Lin Xuan's mind: if this Fairy of a Hundred Herbs was once a formidable figure, why would she set up her main base in such a desolate and remote area like the Great Wilderness Sea?
After some hesitation, he decided not to ask. Speaking too deeply before knowing more could be risky; there was plenty of time for further discussion.
Nevertheless, Lin Xuan's expression softened as he looked at her: "There is fate, Senior. I come from the same plane of existence as you, and we have a slight connection. However, it's still a long way to go before reaching my goal."
Sighing, he knew that immediate solutions were not possible; for now, he needed to focus on his current tasks.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan left the cave dwelling and took out several array flags from his robes, setting them up around him. He wasn't worried about potential threats from the Hundred Herbs Sect; even with a thousand times their courage, nothing would happen. But caution was always wise, and he had grown accustomed to having some form of protection in his cultivation place.
After completing these preparations, Lin Xuan returned to the cave dwelling.
"Keh keh keh." He took off his shirt, revealing that his chest and abdomen wounds were still not healed. The magic sword's power was terrifying; its energy had invaded his meridians, which he had sealed with his spiritual energy. During his recent travels, he hadn't had the time to deal with it properly.
If he didn't address these issues now, how could he continue his cultivation?
With this in mind, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and began to clear away the隐患.
First, he needed to remove the threat.
The wounds might be frightening on the surface, but the real problem was the sword energy that had invaded his body. Once it was expelled, healing such minor injuries would be a simple matter for a cultivator.
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and delved into his body to investigate.
Near the wound, several strands of black energy roamed like demons, but they were all contained by Lin Xuan's spiritual energy, preventing them from escaping.
On the surface, it seemed that he had trapped these energies, but they remained in the nearby meridians. It was precisely because of their destructive effects that the wounds couldn't heal properly.
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before sending out a small portion of his consciousness. This small version of himself was without a physical body, unlike an infant yin-yang spirit, yet he could still control his spiritual energy. The little guy stretched out his hands and nearby spiritual energy coalesced into a dragon-like form, which enveloped him as he rushed towards the black sword energy.
His goal was to capture it.
However, that sword energy seemed to have some sort of consciousness and didn't want to be captured, transforming into a small black snake. Lin Xuan wasn't concerned; he grabbed it with his right hand and teleported out of his body.
The black energy fell into his palm.
Then, the little version of himself reappeared from above his head, leaving only a tiny thread of sword energy in his hands.
Sss...
That thing transformed into a grotesque demonic creature.
"Hmph. You think you can still resist at this point?" Lin Xuan had no affection for it after its prolonged torment. He shook his hand, and three-colored flames appeared, enveloping the black energy.
It was just an insubstantial entity; could it really fight against his Illusory Heavenly Fire?
Indeed, although the black energy was fierce, it quickly vanished in the Illusory Heavenly Fire.
Lin Xuan's expression was satisfied. Just as he was about to retract the spiritual fire, a movement caught his attention.
He brought his hand close to his eyes and examined it closely.
After a moment, Lin Xuan said, "Not bad, not bad. This black energy has actually increased the corrosive power of my Illusory Heavenly Fire."
A loud laugh echoed through the cave, shaking the entire cavern. Lin Xuan wished he had more wounds so that there would be even more black energy to refine his Illusory Heavenly Fire.
Turning misfortune into fortune, Lin Xuan was naturally overjoyed.
The process might have seemed simple, but it actually took two hours. Feeling tired, he rested briefly before sitting cross-legged again and repeating the process of expelling and refining the black energy into his Illusory Heavenly Fire.
Two days passed quickly.
Lin Xuan finally refined the last bit of black energy into his Illusory Heavenly Fire. With the threat gone, he stretched out his hand and tapped a small jade bottle from his pouch.
He removed the stopper and the fragrance filled the air as he applied a white ointment to the wound.
Miraculously, the wound that was originally the size of a thumb began to heal at an incredible speed. In no time, Lin Xuan's skin looked brand new, completely unmarred by the magical incision.
"This flesh-generating and blood-invigorating balm works well," Lin Xuan muttered to himself.
This ointment was similar to common first-aid salves in the mortal world, but in the cultivation realm, such things were far more powerful. Reviving the dead wasn't possible, but reviving bones was not difficult at all; it was a simple matter.
However, this kind of "miracle drug" that could regenerate flesh and bone would be considered worthless in the cultivation realm.
There were many types of elixirs, but only those that increased one's spiritual energy or helped break through barriers were highly sought after by cultivators. Such healing ointments were mere trinkets; for example, this flesh-generating and blood-invigorating balm could be bought for just ten low-grade crystal stones.
With his injuries healed, Lin Xuan returned to his bedroom, where he washed himself with water.
He actually didn't leave the cave dwelling; as a Separation Stage cultivator, Lin Xuan could manipulate primordial energy. He directly took nearby water elemental energy and turned it into bathing water.
After cleaning up, Lin Xuan slept soundly for three hours. This trip had been very fruitful, but he nearly perished in the process. Now that his injuries were healed and he had a place to stay, he needed to rest properly.
The next morning, Lin Xuan felt refreshed as he arrived at the training hall.
With a wave of his sleeve, a beam of light shot out from his waist, landing with several storage bags. Each was bulging with treasures, along with one piece of divine gold.
Wait, these storage bags were collected by the Ancient Dragon Grandmaster over many years; where did this divine gold come from?
Lin Xuan felt surprised but quickly realized that it came from the third floor of the last building in Danyue Sect's main base. The elixirs inside had been taken by Jin Yi, and they were incredibly powerful—eating them could boost a cultivator's realm several levels within two cups of tea.
Since he didn't know what happened to the elixir, it ended up in Jin Yi's hands. Later, Lin Xuan took action, reclaiming the divine gold from him.
If his memory served correctly, he hadn't researched this item before.
He had been careless; Lin Xuan rubbed his head but decided that studying it now wasn't too late.
With a wave of his sleeve, the divine gold was brought over. It was only one foot long and looked extremely delicate.
Lin Xuan held it in his hands, examining it closely. Unfortunately, there was only one elixir, which had been taken by Jin Yi. If he could have found another such item, he wouldn't need to fear encountering Profound Abyss cultivators anymore.
The divine gold itself wasn't a magical weapon; however, when Lin Xuan gripped it, it felt incredibly hard. He didn't know what material was used but suspected that it wasn't an ordinary object.
Unfortunately, even with spiritual energy input, there was no effect. Lin Xuan released his consciousness and searched inch by inch. Suddenly, he noticed a hidden compartment in the divine gold. Could this be...?
