mù guāng sǎo guò ， jǐn guǎn yǒu cāi cè ， lín xuān de hū xī yī jiù jí cù qǐ lái le ， yǔ shàng cì jiàn dào bèi jīn yì ná zǒu de yù hé bié wú èr zhì ， lǐ miàn shì shén me líng dān miào yào yǐ shì hū zhī yù chū zhī shì 。
目光扫过，尽管有猜测，林轩的呼吸依旧急促起来了，与上次见到被金义拿走的玉盒别无二致，里面是什么灵丹妙药已是呼之欲出之事。
Lin Xuan's gaze swept over the scene, and despite his previous speculations, he found himself breathing heavily. The situation was identical to when Jin Yi had taken away the jade box last time; what kind of miraculous medicinal pills were inside was already clear.
hé kuàng líng yào zàn qiě bù tí ， zhè yù hé běn shēn de cái liào jiù shì jiǔ tiān huí yáng yù ， chuán shuō zhōng sān dà shén yù zhī yī ， ér qiě shì zuì zhì gāng zhì yáng de yī zhǒng ， liàn zhì huǒ shǔ xìng fǎ bǎo de shí hòu ， zhǐ yào tiān jiā shàng yì diǎn ， jiù néng ràng fǎ bǎo běn tǐ ， biàn dé jiān yìng yǐ jí ， ér qiě hái néng dà zēng huǒ shǔ xìng shén tōng de wēi lì 。
何况灵药暂且不提，这玉盒本身的材料就是九天回阳玉，传说中三大神玉之一，而且是最至刚至阳的一种，炼制火属性法宝的时候，只要添加上一点，就能让法宝本体，变得坚硬以极，而且还能大增火属性神通的威力。
Moreover, setting aside the miraculous medicinal herbs for now, the material itself of this jade box was Nine Heavens Rejuvenating Jade, one of the three divine jades in legend. It was also the most yang and rigid type. When used to refine fire attribute magical treasures, just a small amount could make the treasure's body extremely hard, greatly enhancing its fire attribute abilities.
zhè dōng xī bù lùn shì zì yòng ， hái shì ná dào fāng shì zhī zhōng ， dōu jué duì shì jià zhí lián chéng zhī wù ， kān chēng nì tiān jí bié de cái liào 。
这东西不论是自用，还是拿到坊市之中，都绝对是价值连城之物，堪称逆天级别的材料。
This item, whether for personal use or sold on the market, would definitely be worth its weight in gold, considered material of divine level.
ér qiě duì zì jǐ ， hái yǒu tè bié de yì yì ， tā shì liàn zhì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhèn zhī huǒ jiàn de zhǔ yào cái liào zhī yī 。
而且对自己，还有特别的意义，牠是炼制九宫须臾剑阵之火剑的主要材料之一。
And it had special significance to him; it was one of the main materials used to refine the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array's fire swords.
lín xuān shǒu zhǎng yī fān ， yòu qǔ chū yí gè yù hé ， zhè ge shì kōng de ， nǎi miè shā jīn yì hòu suǒ de ， dàn jiù shì wèi le zhè ge kōng hé ， zì jǐ chà diǎn yǔ xiān mù yī lán chōng tū 。
林轩手掌一翻，又取出一个玉盒，这个是空的，乃灭杀金义后所得，但就是为了这个空盒，自己差点与纤幕伊蓝冲突。
With a flip of his hand, Lin Xuan took out another jade box. This one was empty, obtained after eliminating Jin Yi. But just for this empty box, he nearly clashed with Filigree Iblan.
ér nà wèi xiān mù gōng zi ， jué fēi cháng rén ， pǔ tōng de bǎo wù ， gēn běn jiù kàn bù shàng yǎn ， cóng zhè yì diǎn ， yě kě yǐ kàn chū jiǔ tiān huí yáng yù ， nǎi shì zěn yàng de nì tiān 。
而那位纤幕公子，绝非常人，普通的宝物，根本就看不上眼，从这一点，也可以看出九天回阳玉，乃是怎样的逆天。
The Filigree Young Master was no ordinary person; common treasures were beneath his notice. From this, it could be seen how extraordinary Nine Heavens Rejuvenating Jade truly was.
lín xuān xiān jiāng kōng hé fàng zài yī biān ， rán hòu jiāng cóng àn gé zhōng qǔ chū lái de ， fàng zài shǒu xīn lǐ miàn ， yā yì zhù xīn zhōng de jī dòng ， yòng shí zhǐ qīng qīng yī kòu ， pā dā zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiù shí fēn qīng qiǎo de dǎ kāi le 。
林轩先将空盒放在一边，然后将从暗格中取出来的，放在手心里面，压抑住心中的激动，用食指轻轻一扣，啪嗒之声传入耳朵，就十分轻巧的打开了。
Lin Xuan placed the empty box aside and then took out what he had retrieved from a hidden compartment in his hand. Suppressing his excitement, he lightly tapped with his index finger, and the sound of a snap entered his ears as he easily opened it.
zhǐ jiàn zài zhè bù dà de yù hé dǐ bù ， pù zhe míng huáng sè de jǐn duàn ， zhàn jù le dà bù fèn kōng jiān ， ér zài yù hé zhèng zhōng ， fàng zhe yī xiǎo qiǎo de píng zi ， nǎi qīng huā cí ， chū rén yì liào de jīng zhì 。
只见在这不大的玉盒底部，铺着明黄色的锦缎，占据了大部分空间，而在玉盒正中，放着一小巧的瓶子，乃青花瓷，出人意料的精致。
In the bottom of this small jade box lay a yellow silk cloth, occupying most of the space. At the center was a tiny bottle, made of blue-and-white porcelain, unexpectedly exquisite.
píng zi shàng miàn ， hái tiē yǒu jìn zhì fú lù ， lín xuān méi yǒu mào mào rán jiāng qí sī chě ， ér shì lüè yī chí yí ， rán hòu bì shàng shuāng mù ， dāng tā yǎn jīng chóng xīn zhēng kāi de shí hòu ， zhěng gè tóng kǒng ， yǐ jīng biàn chéng le cuǐ càn de yín sè 。
瓶子上面，还贴有禁制符箓，林轩没有冒冒然将其撕扯，而是略一迟疑，然后闭上双目，当他眼睛重新睁开的时候，整个瞳孔，已经变成了璀璨的银色。
There were禁制符箓贴ed on top of the bottle. Lin Xuan didn't rashly tear them off but hesitated for a moment before closing his eyes. When he opened them again, his pupils had transformed into brilliant silver.
qián shì bù wàng hòu shì zhī shī ， ruò shì suǒ liào méi cuò ， yí dàn jiāng zhè fú lù sī chě ， lǐ miàn de yào líng ， yě jiù pǎo chū lái le ， lín xuān kě bù xiǎng duō cì yī jǔ ， hái yào jiāng tā chóng xīn fēng yìn zhù ， fǎn zhèng zì jǐ xiū liàn yǒu tiān fèng shén mù ， yín guāng yào yǎn ， nà píng bì dùn shí mó hú le qǐ lái ， yī xiǎo xiǎo de guāng qiú chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ ， ér zài guāng qiú zhī zhōng ， yī lì cán dòu dà xiǎo de dān yào ， dī liū liū de zhuǎn gè bù tíng ， zhèng shì yào líng 。
前事不忘后事之师，若是所料没错，一旦将这符箓撕扯，里面的药灵，也就跑出来了，林轩可不想多次一举，还要将牠重新封印住，反正自己修炼有天凤神目，银光耀眼，那瓶壁顿时模糊了起来，一小小的光球出现在视线里，而在光球之中，一粒蚕豆大小的丹药，滴溜溜的转个不停，正是药灵。
Past events serve as warnings for future ones. If his guess was correct, tearing this talisman would release its medicinal spirit. Lin Xuan didn’t want to risk it; he could always reseal it later. With his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes shining brightly, the bottle's surface became blurry, and a tiny light ball appeared in his vision. Inside it, a small pill, about the size of a bean, spun ceaselessly—this was the medicinal spirit.
jǐn guǎn yǒu cāi cè ， dàn zhēn zhèng kěn dìng le ， lín xuān hái shì rěn bú zhù xīn zhōng de xīng fèn zhī qíng ， shàng tiān zhù wǒ ， yǒu le zhè dōng xī ， zì jǐ kě shì yòu duō le yī shā shǒu jiǎn le 。
尽管有猜测，但真正肯定了，林轩还是忍不住心中的兴奋之情，上天助我，有了这东西，自己可是又多了一杀手锏了。
Despite his previous speculations, Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling excited when he confirmed it. Heaven had granted him this; with it, he now had another trump card.
qí shí yào shuō shā shǒu jiǎn ， lín xuān dāng rán bù zhǐ zhè yí gè ， shàng cì miàn duì dú lóng lǎo zǔ huà shēn de shí hòu ， yǒu yī yàng dōng xī ， tā jiù wàng jì yòng le 。
其实要说杀手锏，林轩当然不止这一个，上次面对毒龙老祖化身的时候，有一样东西，他就忘记用了。
To be honest, Lin Xuan wasn’t just relying on that one item. During his last encounter with the Toxic Dragon Ancestor's avatar, there was something else he had forgotten to use.
shēn shǒu yī pāi ， yī huī méng méng de fú lù cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi le chū lái ， bié kàn tā bù qǐ yǎn ， bǎo wù yě bù néng guāng kàn biǎo miàn 。
伸手一拍，一灰蒙蒙的符箓从衣袖中飞了出来，别看他不起眼，宝物也不能光看表面。
With a flick of his hand, a grayish talisman flew out from his sleeve. Don't judge a treasure by its appearance; what looks good isn't always valuable, and vice versa.
guāng xiān de ， bù yí dìng shì hǎo dōng xī ， fǎn zhī yě shì yī yàng de dào lǐ 。
光鲜的，不一定是好东西，反之也是一样的道理。
This Substitute Talisman was found in the night market of Nine Immortal City, having the same effect as the Daoist sect's substitute for tribulation. However, it required sacrificing one hand or foot, while this item could block a fatal attack on his behalf.
zhè tì jié fú shì zài jiù jiǔ xiān chéng de yè shì zhōng táo lái de ， yǔ mó dào de tì shēn dù jié ** yǒu tóng yàng de xiào guǒ ， bù guò qián zhě xū yào shě qì yī shǒu yī zú ， ér zhè dōng xī ， zé zú yǐ wéi zì jǐ dǎng xià yī jì zhì mìng de gōng jī 。
这替劫符是在就九仙城的夜市中淘来的，与魔道的替身渡劫**有同样的效果，不过前者需要舍弃一手一足，而这东西，则足以为自己挡下一记致命的攻击。
After counting these two treasures, Lin Xuan placed them together, ready to use them whenever he encountered danger in the future.
liǎng jiàn bǎo wù qīng diǎn wán bì ， lín xuān jiāng tā men fàng zài yì qǐ ， yǐ hòu zài yù jiàn shén me wēi jī ， jiù xū yào tā men lái yìng jí 。
两件宝物清点完毕，林轩将牠们放在一起，以后在遇见什么危机，就需要牠们来应急。
Feeling satisfied, Lin Xuan prepared to count other treasures when an unusual波动 entered the cave. His expression changed as he looked up and fired off a spell from his fingertips.
xīn mǎn yì zú ， lín xuān zhǔn bèi jì xù qīng diǎn qí tā de bǎo wù ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yì diǎn yì yàng de bō dòng cóng wài miàn chuán jìn le dòng fǔ lǐ 。
心满意足，林轩准备继续清点其他的宝物，然而就在这时，一点异样的波动从外面传进了洞府里。
Snap…
lín xuān shén sè yī dòng ， tái qǐ tóu lú ， yī dào fǎ jué cóng zhǐ jiān jī shè ér chū 。
林轩神色一动，抬起头颅，一道法诀从指尖激射而出。
The禁制 opened, and a burst of fire flew into the cave.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
It was a transmission talisman.
jìn zhì dǎ kāi ， yī dào huǒ guāng cóng wài miàn fēi le jìn lái 。
禁制打开，一道火光从外面飞了进来。
Lin Xuan spread his palm, and it seemed to have a mind of its own as it fell inside. Then, he lowered his head and sank his spirit sense...
chuán yīn fú 。
传音符。
Soon, his expression darkened, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Truly fearless."
lín xuān tān kāi shǒu zhǎng ， tā jiù rú yǒu tōng líng bān de luò rù lǐ miàn ， suí hòu lín xuān dī xià tou lú ， jiāng shén shí chén rù ……
林轩摊开手掌，牠就如有通灵般的落入里面，随后林轩低下头颅，将神识沉入……
Before the words left his mouth, a fierce wind arose, and Lin Xuan found himself flying out of the cave.
hěn kuài ， tā de biǎo qíng yīn chén xià qù le ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī lěng xiào zhī sè ：“ zhēn shì bù zhī sǐ huó 。”
很快，他的表情阴沉下去了，嘴角边露出一丝冷笑之色：“真是不知死活。”
Two faces appeared before him.
huà yīn wèi luò ， kuáng fēng zhòu qǐ ， lín xuān bù zhī zěn me de yǐ cóng dòng fǔ zhōng fēi le chū qù 。
话音未落，狂风骤起，林轩不知怎么的已从洞府中飞了出去。
The Upper-Sky sisters were filled with anxious expressions. Seeing Lin Xuan, their joy was evident as they hurriedly bowed deeply in greeting.
liǎng zhāng qiào liǎn yìng rù yǎn lián 。
两张俏脸映入眼帘。
"Please don't be so formal," said Lin Xuan. "You say that the Heaven Fire Sect has come to our Yuan Turtle Island for a reprimand? They are truly fearless."
shàng guān jiě mèi jiē mǎn liǎn jiāo jí zhī sè ， kàn jiàn lín xuān ， zhè cái xǐ xiào yán kāi ， lián máng dà lǐ cān bài 。
上官姐妹皆满脸焦急之色，看见林轩，这才喜笑颜开，连忙大礼参拜。
Guang Yan performed a bow, her face filled with anxiety: "Senior, you previously eliminated one of their rogue members. That red-robed cultivator was the direct grandson of the Heaven Fire Ancestor. The old monster is enraged and has come to seek justice."
“ bù yòng duō lǐ ， nǐ men shuō tiān huǒ zōng jū rán bù zhī sǐ huó ， jū rán shā dào yuán guī dǎo ， xīng shī wèn zuì lái le ？”
“不用多礼，你们说天火宗居然不知死活，居然杀到元龟岛，兴师问罪来了？”
"Hmph. A mere First Stage Immortal, what right does he have to be so arrogant? Where is that Heaven Fire Ancestor now, and how are things going?" Lin Xuan said indifferently.
guān yàn háng le yī lǐ ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì huáng jí ：“ qián bèi shàng cì miè shā le tiān huǒ zōng de zéi zi ， qí zhōng nà míng hóng yī xiū shì nǎi tiān huǒ shàng rén de dí qīn sūn zi ， nà lǎo guài wù zhèn nù ， zì rán xīng shī wèn zuì lái le 。”
官雁行了一礼，脸上满是惶急：“前辈上次灭杀了天火宗的贼子，其中那名红衣修士乃天火上人的嫡亲孙子，那老怪物震怒，自然兴师问罪来了。”
"Fortunately, they haven't hidden their movements, and we found them in the nearby sea early on. Mother ordered everyone not to engage in battle but instead activate our protective array."
“ hēng ， qū qū yī yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， yǒu shén me zhí de xiāo zhāng de ， nà tiān huǒ shàng rén zài hé chù ， xiàn zài qíng kuàng zěn me yàng ？” lín xuān dàn dàn de shuō 。
“哼，区区一元婴期修仙者，有什么值得嚣张的，那天火上人在何处，现在情况怎么样？”林轩淡淡的说。
"That's a wise choice; your mother is very clever," Lin Xuan nodded approvingly. The only way was to minimize casualties by activating the protective array.
“ hái hǎo ， dí rén bìng wèi yǐn cáng xíng jì ， suǒ yǐ wǒ men lǎo zǎo jiù fā xiàn tā men chū xiàn zài fù jìn hǎi yù ， mǔ qīn mìng lìng suǒ yǒu rén dōu bù dé chū zhàn ， zhǐ shì jiāng hù pài dà zhèn kāi qǐ 。”
“还好，敌人并未隐藏行迹，所以我们老早就发现他们出现在附近海域，母亲命令所有人都不得出战，只是将护派大阵开启。”
"We beg for your assistance, as this array won't last long."
“ bù cuò ， zhè shì zhèng què xuǎn zé ， lìng táng hái shì hěn cōng míng de 。” lín xuān diǎn tóu é xǔ ， yě wéi yǒu zhè me zuò ， cái néng jiāng shāng wáng jǐn liàng jiàng dī 。
“不错，这是正确选择，令堂还是很聪明的。”林轩点头额许，也唯有这么做，才能将伤亡尽量降低。
Lin Xuan had no objection. Emotionally and logically, he couldn’t ignore such matters, especially with the connection to the Immortal Phoenix Fairy. He had promised to support them.
“ hái qǐng qián bèi chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， nà hù pài dà zhèn chí xù bù liǎo duō jiǔ de 。”
“还请前辈出手相助，那护派大阵持续不了多久的。”
"Lead the way."
xuān zì wú bù yǔn zhī yì ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， zhè jiàn shì qíng dōu méi yǒu bù guǎn de dào lǐ ， hé kuàng hái yǒu xuán fèng xiān zi zhè céng guān xì ， lín xuān yě xiàng shàng guān mù yǔ xǔ nuò guò ， huì shǒu wàng xiāng zhù de 。
轩自无不允之意，于情于理，这件事情都没有不管的道理，何况还有玄凤仙子这层关系，林轩也像上官暮雨许诺过，会守望相助的。
"Yes."
“ qián miàn dài lù 。”
“前面带路。”
The two girls were overjoyed and flew ahead in unison like a streak of lightning. Lin Xuan followed at his own pace.
“ shì 。”
“是。”
Exiting Forget-Worry Valley, the air was filled with malevolence; the situation seemed worse than he had imagined. Lin Xuan's brows furrowed as he didn't dare delay further. His body emitted a green glow, enveloping the sisters and speeding towards the outside.
liǎng nǚ dà xǐ ， lián mèi huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng xiàng qián miàn fēi qù ， lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， bù jǐn bù màn de gēn zài hòu miàn 。
两女大喜，联袂化为一道惊虹像前面飞去，林轩身形一闪，不紧不慢的跟在后面。
Lin Xuan’s evasive techniques were beyond compare, reaching their destination almost instantly.
chū le wàng yōu gǔ ， lì qì chōng tiān ， qíng shì sì hū bǐ zì jǐ yuán xiān suǒ xiǎng xiàng de ， gèng jiā bù hǎo yì diǎn ， lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， yě bù gǎn zài suí biàn dān gē ， hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， jiāng jiě mèi liǎ yī guǒ ， jiù jiā sù xiàng wài miàn fēi le guò qù 。
出了忘忧谷，戾气冲天，情势似乎比自己原先所想象的，更加不好一点，林轩眉头一挑，也不敢再随便耽搁，浑身青芒大起，将姐妹俩一裹，就加速像外面飞了过去。
Above a small hill, several hundred cultivators hovered in the sky; most of them were from the Hundred Grass Sect. Above them was a thick fog, which was undoubtedly the protective array's effect.
lín xuān de dùn shù ， zì rán bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ ， jī hū shì zhuǎn shùn jí zhì 。
林轩的遁术，自然不可同日而语，几乎是转瞬及至。
Inside the fog, thunderous sounds echoed continuously, and ice arrows and lightning fires could be seen flickering.
zhǐ jiàn zài yī zuò xiǎo shān de shàng kōng ， xuán fú zhe sān sì bǎi míng xiū xiān zhě ， rú guǒ méi yǒu liào cuò ， bǎi cǎo mén dì zǐ ， shí yǒu **， quán dōu qí jù cǐ dì 。
只见在一座小山的上空，悬浮着三四百名修仙者，如果没有料错，百草门弟子，十有**，全都齐聚此地。
On seeing Lin Xuan, Upper-Sky Mudrain’s face turned from worry to joy as she bowed: "Senior, I apologize. We had no choice but to disturb you. Originally, we didn't want to trouble you, but our sect is weak. As the head of this sect, I lack the strength to resolve this crisis, so..."
ér zài tóu dǐng shàng kōng ， zé bèi yī céng nóng wù bāo guǒ ， bú yòng shuō ， zhè jiù shì hù pài dà zhèn de xiào guǒ 。
而在头顶上空，则被一层浓雾包裹，不用说，这就是护派大阵的效果。
"Do not blame yourself; it's a small matter."
nóng wù zhōng ， hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn bù tíng chuán chū ， ǒu ěr hái kě yǐ kàn jiàn bīng shǐ léi huǒ ， yǐ jīng yáo yáo yù zhuì le 。
浓雾中，轰隆隆的声音不停传出，偶尔还可以看见冰矢雷火，已经摇摇欲坠了。
Before he could finish speaking, an unpleasant voice rang out from above: "Lower-Sky scullery maid! You actually dared to kill my grandson. Are you mad? Thinking that hiding behind禁制 would protect you, I am here for revenge today. I will extract your soul and torment every member of the Hundred Grass Sect..."
shàng guān mù yǔ de liǎn shàng mǎn shì yōu sè ， bù guò kàn jiàn lín xuān hòu yòu zhuǎn yōu wéi xǐ ， máng yíng yíng yī lǐ ：“ qián bèi duì bù qǐ ， wǎn bèi yě shì wú nài zhī jǔ ， yuán bù xiǎng dǎ rǎo nín de ， kě běn pài shì ruò ， qiè shēn tiān jū yī pài zhī zhǔ ， què méi yǒu shí lì ， jiě jué yǎn qián de wēi jī ， suǒ yǐ ……”
上官暮雨的脸上满是忧色，不过看见林轩后又转忧为喜，忙盈盈一礼：“前辈对不起，晚辈也是无奈之举，原不想打扰您的，可本派势弱，妾身添居一派之主，却没有实力，解决眼前的危机，所以……”
The voice was not only unpleasant but also full of malice; it belonged to the Heaven Fire Sect's Supreme Elder.
“ dào yǒu bù yòng gào zuì ， jǔ shǒu zhī láo ér yǐ 。”
“道友不用告罪，举手之劳而已。”
"Hmph. A mere First Stage Immortal, what audacity! Senior Fellow Daoist, shall we go together?"
Lin Xuan's gaze swept over the scene, and despite his previous speculations, he found himself breathing heavily. The situation was identical to when Jin Yi had taken away the jade box last time; what kind of miraculous medicinal pills were inside was already clear.
Moreover, setting aside the miraculous medicinal herbs for now, the material itself of this jade box was Nine Heavens Rejuvenating Jade, one of the three divine jades in legend.
