嗯，那你可晓得，林某在下界这么多年，可是连一个徒儿都没有收过”不瞒你说，林某乃是一心仙道的苦修之士，实在不想有多余的羁绊，来让自己分心旁鹜。”
Lin Xuan sighed, "You must know that in the mortal realm for so many years, I have not taken on a single disciple." He continued, "I am a dedicated cultivator of the immortal path. I truly do not wish to be burdened with unnecessary attachments."
tīng lín xuān zhè yàng shuō ， shàng guān yàn de liǎn shàng mǎn shì shī wàng zhī sè ， guò le jǐ xī de gōng fu ” cái jǔ sàng tái qǐ tóu 。
听林轩这样说，上官雁的脸上满是失望之色，过了几息的功夫”才沮丧抬起头。
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Shangguan Yan's face was filled with disappointment. After a few moments, she lifted her head dejectedly.
xíng le yī lǐ ：“ qián bèi bú yòng shuō ” wǎn bèi yǐ rán xiǎo de ， shì wǒ ， tài guò chī xīn wàng xiǎng le ……”
行了一礼：“前辈不用说”晚辈已然晓得，是我，太过痴心妄想了……”
She bowed respectfully and said, "Senior does not need to say it; I already understand that my heart has been too naive."
shuō wán kē le yí gè tóu ， zhuǎn shēn ， jiù xiǎng yào lí kāi dòng fǔ 。
说完磕了一个头，转身，就想要离开洞府。
With that, she knelt down and turned to leave the cave.
“ děng děng 。” lín xuān què bǎ tā jiào zhù 。
“等等。”林轩却把她叫住。
"Wait." Lin Xuan called out to her.
“ qián bèi hái yǒu shén me fēn fù ？”， cǐ nǚ yōu yōu de shuō 。
“前辈还有什么吩咐？”，此女幽幽的说。
"What else do you wish me to do?" Shangguan Yan asked softly.
“ nǐ zhè yā tou ， hǎo jí de xìng zi ， wǒ shén me shí hòu shuō guò ， jiù yí dìng bú huì shōu xià nǐ le 。”
“你这丫头，好急的性子，我什么时候说过，就一定不会收下你了。”
"You are a bit impatient. Have I ever said that I would definitely not take you as my disciple?"
cǐ nǚ yī dāi ， suí hòu kuáng xǐ qǐ lái ” pū tōng yī shēng guì dǎo zài dì ：“ yàn ér gěi shī zūn xíng lǐ 。”
此女一呆，随后狂喜起来”噗通一声跪倒在地：“雁儿给师尊行礼。”
Shangguan Yan was stunned, then she burst into joy and knelt down with a loud thud, "Yan'er pays homage to Master."
“ xiān bù jí ， wǒ yě méi shuō yí dìng huì shōu xià nǐ 。”，“ nà ， bēi zūn shì ……”， shàng guān yàn xiǎo xīn yì yì de shuō ， tā bèi lín xuān de huà nòng dé mǎn liǎn mí hū 。
“先不急，我也没说一定会收下你。”，“那，卑尊是……”，上官雁小心翼翼的说，她被林轩的话弄得满脸迷糊。
"Let's not rush it. I haven't said that I will definitely take you," Lin Xuan replied.
“ lín mǒu zài rén jiè zhī shí ， yì xīn yí yì ， jiù shì rú hé fēi shēng dào líng jiè qù ， zì rán méi yǒu shí jiān shōu tú ， bù guò xiàn zài dào bù yī yàng le ……”， lín xuān zhè huà ， bìng bú shì huǎng yán xiāng qī ， jiù suàn xiū liàn dào lí hé ， zài rén jiè de shòu yuán yě zhǐ yǒu liǎng qiān nián ， yǐ rén jiè nà zhǒng è liè tiáo jiàn ， xiǎng yào fēi shēng chéng gōng ， shí zài shì kùn nán chóng chóng ” gēn běn jiù méi yǒu shí jiān dān gē ， bù guò xiàn zài qíng kuàng yòu zì bù tóng 。
“林某在人界之时，一心一意，就是如何飞升到灵界去，自然没有时间收徒，不过现在倒不一样了……”，林轩这话，并不是谎言相欺，就算修炼到离合，在人界的寿元也只有两千年，以人界那种恶劣条件，想要飞升成功，实在是困难重重”根本就没有时间耽搁，不过现在情况又自不同。
"Well, in that case, what is the respect due?" Shangguan Yan asked cautiously, her face filled with confusion from his words.
rú jīn zì jǐ cái bā bǎi suì ， mǎn dǎ mǎn suàn ， yě hái yǒu yī qiān liǎng bǎi nián ， cái huì yǒu yuán qì zhī jié jiàng luò ” dì yī cì hěn hǎo guò ， jiù suàn shì pǔ tōng lí hé zhōng qī de xiū shì ， yě kě yǐ qīng sōng dù guò ， ér yǐ zì jǐ de shén tōng ” jiù suàn zài káng qī bā cì ， gū jì wèn tí yě bù dà de ” huàn jù huà shuō ， zài wèi lái de wàn nián yǐ nèi ， zì jǐ gēn běn bù yòng dān xīn shòu yuán zhī yōu 。
如今自己才八百岁，满打满算，也还有一千两百年，才会有元气之劫降落”第一次很好过，就算是普通离合中期的修士，也可以轻松度过，而以自己的神通”就算再扛七八次，估计问题也不大的”换句话说，在未来的万年以内，自己根本不用担心寿元之忧。
"When I was in the mortal realm, my sole focus was on ascending to the spirit realm; there simply wasn't time for taking disciples. However, now things are different," Lin Xuan explained. "If you become my disciple, your path may indeed be smoother. But the dangers that lie ahead will be unimaginable. You will face enemies beyond your wildest imagination."
ér chǔ wù dài zhōng ， yòu yǒu nà me duō jīng shí bǎo wù yǔ dān yào ， lín xuān xiāng xìn ” zì jǐ zhǐ yào bì mén kǔ xiū ” jiā yǐ shí rì ， jìn jiē dòng xuán yě yí dìng shì fēn háo wèn tí méi yǒu 。
而储物袋中，又有那么多晶石宝物与丹药，林轩相信”自己只要闭门苦修”加以时日，进阶洞玄也一定是分毫问题没有。
Shangguan Yan's expression was filled with hope as she looked at Lin Xuan.
jì rán rú cǐ ” nà shòu yuán jiù gèng bù yòng chóu ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， hái fù yù chū hěn duō ， nà shōu shōu tú ” sì hū yě méi yǒu shén me hào qí guài de 。
既然如此”那寿元就更不用愁，甚至可以说，还富裕出很多，那收收徒”似乎也没有什么好奇怪的。
"Not bad, Yan'er. I can take you as a disciple, but only as an unregistered one. I can teach you and offer some benefits, but I cannot keep you by my side all the time. If the sect needs your help in the future, you must do everything possible—no matter how dangerous it is. Can you do that?"
shōu tú ” bìng bú huì tuō màn zì jǐ de xiū liàn ” ér qiě yǎn qián zhè yā tou ， sì hū hé zì jǐ yǒu é dāng rán ， zuì zhǔ yào de ， hái shì tā pǐn xìng bù cuò 。
收徒”并不会拖慢自己的修炼”而且眼前这丫头，似乎和自己有俄当然，最主要的，还是她品性不错。
"I am willing to do so, Master. Since I have taken you as a teacher, if the sect needs me, I will risk anything," Shangguan Yan replied.
wèi tóng mén shě qì zì jǐ de shì qíng ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì qù zuò ， dàn duì bǎi cǎo mén de xiāng qīn xiāng ài ” hái shì hěn xīn shǎng de 。
为同门舍弃自己的事情，林轩当然不会去做，但对百草门的相亲相爱”还是很欣赏的。
"Do not rush to swear. A single word can become a prophecy. Yan'er, let me be honest with you. What I just said was not just for show. If you take me as your teacher, your path may indeed be smoother. But the dangers that lie ahead will be unimaginable. You will face enemies beyond your wildest imagination."
“ yàn ér ” nǐ xīn xìng hěn hǎo ， pǐn gé gèng shì méi huà shuō ” bù guò duì yú wǒ men xiū xiān zhě ， tóng mén xiāng qīn xiāng ài shì bù gòu de ， zuì zhōng néng jiāng xiān lù zǒu dào nǎ yī bù ， hái yào kàn zī zhì rú hé 。” lín xuān dàn dàn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“雁儿”你心性很好，品格更是没话说”不过对于我们修仙者，同门相亲相爱是不够的，最终能将仙路走到哪一步，还要看资质如何。”林轩淡淡的声音传入耳朵。
Shangguan Yan's expression turned serious.
“ yàn ér xiǎo de ， shī fù ” nín kě bù kě yǐ shōu xià wǒ 。”
“雁儿晓得，师傅”您可不可以收下我。”
"Master, please rest assured. Yan'er has no regrets. I will do my best to help when the sect is in trouble, even if it means going through hell and back," she said with determination.
“ xiān jiāng nǐ shǒu shēn chū lái ， ràng wǒ kàn kàn zī zhì zài wēi ”
“先将你手伸出来，让我看看资质再微”
"Very well, I accept you as a disciple." Lin Xuan nodded. "Rest assured, this was just a casual suggestion. Even if such a day comes, as your teacher, I will do my best to protect my disciples."
“ hǎo ， hǎo de 。”
“好，好的。”
Shangguan Yan was overjoyed and knelt down respectfully, giving Lin Xuan three deep bows. The ritual of becoming his disciple was complete.
cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng yī hóng ” dàn hái shì guāi guāi de shēn chū shǒu ， hào wàn rú yù ” lín xuān qīng qīng de dā shàng tā de mài bó ， jiāng fǎ lì zhù rù 。
此女脸上一红”但还是乖乖的伸出手，皓腕如玉”林轩轻轻的搭上她的脉搏，将法力注入。
"Yan'er, rise," Lin Xuan said.
shǎo qǐng ， lín xuān shōu huí shǒu ” bì mù bù yǔ 。
少顷，林轩收回手”闭目不语。
"Thank you, Master. But there is one more request I have." Shangguan Yan stood up and curtsied carefully.
“ shī zūn ， rú hé ？”， zì jǐ de líng gēn ” zài xiū xí bǎi cǎo xīn dé yǐ qián ， zǎo jiù cè guò ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， cǐ nǚ de liǎn shàng ， què chōng mǎn le tǎn tè ， hái yǒu qǐ pàn zhī sè 。
“师尊，如何？”，自己的灵根”在修习百草心得以前，早就测过，然而此时此刻，此女的脸上，却充满了忐忑，还有企盼之色。
"What is it?"
“ hái bú cuò ， shì léi shǔ xìng de yì líng gēn 。”
“还不错，是雷属性的异灵根。”
Lin Xuan shook his head; this little girl had a lot on her mind.
lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō ” dāng nián tā hái shì dī jiē xiū xiān zhě de shí hòu ， céng yǐ wéi shèng líng gēn shì zuì hǎo de ， hòu lái hái tīng dào guò xiān líng gēn de chuán shuō ， qí shí zhè xiē suī bù néng shuō yǒu cuò ， dàn yě bú shì jué duì zhǔn què 。
林轩微笑着说”当年他还是低阶修仙者的时候，曾以为圣灵根是最好的，后来还听到过仙灵根的传说，其实这些虽不能说有错，但也不是绝对准确。
"Master, as you know, I also have a younger sister who admires you just as much. Since you are taking me as your disciple, why not take my sister too?" Shangguan Yan suggested with a smile.
yóu jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ biàn yì chū lái de líng gēn ， yǒu shí hòu yě huì xuán miào dào jí chù ” jí bù jì jí shàng ” dàn jué duì shì yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò shèng líng gēn de 。
由金木水火土变异出来的灵根，有时候也会玄妙到极处”及不记及上”但绝对是远远超过圣灵根的。
"A buy-one-get-one-free deal? Yan'er, what do you think?"
léi líng gēn jiù shì qián lì jí dà de yī zhǒng ， tiān fù jí kě cāo zòng léi diàn zhī lì ， rú guǒ yǒu hé shì de gōng fǎ pèi hé ， zài xiū liàn dào jí shēn zhī chù ， yǒu zhāo yī rì zhǎng wò le léi diàn fǎ zé ， nà kě shì lián zhēn líng jí de cún zài dōu yào tuì bì sān shè 。
雷灵根就是潜力极大的一种，天赋即可操纵雷电之力，如果有合适的功法配合，再修炼到极深之处，有朝一日掌握了雷电法则，那可是连真灵级的存在都要退避三舍。
"I beg for forgiveness, Sister and I grew up together; our bond is unbreakable. Now that I have found such an outstanding teacher, the path to immortality will be smooth sailing. How can I bear to see my sister struggling on her own? Besides, Ling'er is innocent and pure in heart, with a talent no less than mine. She will not disappoint you."
dāng rán ， zhè zhǒng shuō fǎ suī rán méi cuò ” dàn yě kuā zhāng le ” chú fēi shì xiū liàn dào dù jié qī ” cái yǒu zhè yàng kě pà de shí lì 。
当然，这种说法虽然没错”但也夸张了”除非是修炼到渡劫期”才有这样可怕的实力。
"Quite the eloquent argument. However... your words are indeed convincing. Very well, two for the price of one. Since I have taken one disciple, taking another is just as good. Of course, I need to see her and test her abilities before making a final decision," Lin Xuan said with a serious face.
dàn zhì shǎo léi líng gēn de zī zhì hěn bú cuò ， zhè yì diǎn shì jué wú kě yí de 。
但至少雷灵根的资质很不错，这一点是绝无可疑的。
Shangguan Yan's heart was finally at ease. She smiled widely.
kàn zhe shào nǚ qǐ pàn de liǎn sè ， lín xuān wēi xiào zhe kāi kǒu le ：“ hái bú cuò ， yàn ér ， lín mǒu kě yǐ shōu nǐ wèi tú ， dàn zhǐ shì jì míng dì zǐ ， kě yǐ chuán dào jiě huò ， yě kě yǐ gěi nǐ yī xiē hǎo chù ， dàn què bù néng yì zhí jiāng nǐ dài zài shēn biān ， ér qiě yǐ hòu shī mén ruò shì yǒu shì ， nǐ bì xū quán lì yǐ fù ， dāo shān huǒ hǎi ， dōu bù néng zhòu yī xià méi tóu ， nǐ néng gòu zuò dào ma ？”，“ yàn ér yuàn yì ， jì rán bài nín wèi shī ， shī mén ruò shì yǒu shì ， fù tāng dǎo huǒ ， xiǎo nǚ zǐ dāng rán zài suǒ bù cí ……”
看着少女企盼的脸色，林轩微笑着开口了：“还不错，雁儿，林某可以收你为徒，但只是记名弟子，可以传道解惑，也可以给你一些好处，但却不能一直将你带在身边，而且以后师门若是有事，你必须全力以赴，刀山火海，都不能皱一下眉头，你能够做到吗？”，“雁儿愿意，既然拜您为师，师门若是有事，赴汤蹈火，小女子当然在所不辞……”
"This is only right. I will tell my sister about this good news and bring her here in a month. I am sure she will be overjoyed."
“ nǐ xiān bié máng zhe fā shì ， xiǎo xīn yī yǔ chéng chèn ， yàn ér ， shí huà gào sù nǐ ， gāng cái nà xiē huà ， lín mǒu kě bú shì suí biàn shuō shuō ， nǐ bài wǒ wèi shī ， yě xǔ xiū xiān zhī lù ， què shí huì shùn chàng xǔ duō ” bù guò jīn hòu de wēi xiǎn ， yě jiāng nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng ， nǐ jiāng yù jiàn de qiáng dí ， shì nǐ gēn běn wú fǎ yù jì ……”
“你先别忙着发誓，小心一语成谶，雁儿，实话告诉你，刚才那些话，林某可不是随便说说，你拜我为师，也许修仙之路，确实会顺畅许多”不过今后的危险，也将难以想象，你将遇见的强敌，是你根本无法预计……”
"Ha, there's no rush. Bring her here next month. I have other matters to attend to now," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
yuè ér de shēn shì ， shì yí gè dà dà mì mì ， jí biàn dì zǐ yě bù kě yǐ shuō ， gèng bù zhī dào xiǎo yā tou rú jīn shēn zài hé chù ， bù guò lín xuān xiāng xìn ， zǒng yǒu yī tiān ， liǎng rén huì xiāng yù ， ér qiě tā yǒu yī zhǒng gǎn jué ， yǒu yī xiē shì qíng ， bìng bú shì xiǎng táo bì jiù néng gòu táo bì diào de 。
月儿的身世，是一个大大秘密，即便弟子也不可以说，更不知道小丫头如今身在何处，不过林轩相信，总有一天，两人会相遇，而且他有一种感觉，有一些事情，并不是想逃避就能够逃避掉的。
"Yes!" Shangguan Yan bowed respectfully before retreating gracefully.
jǐ bǎi nián yí gè lún huí ， shàng gǔ nà chǎng dà zhàn ， yě jué bú huì xiàng biǎo miàn nà me jiǎn dān ， yě xǔ yǒu yī tiān ， tā huì miàn duì tiān shàng de zhēn xiān 。
几百年一个轮回，上古那场大战，也绝不会像表面那么简单，也许有一天，他会面对天上的真仙。
The two did not mention the doubts regarding the "Heart of Herbs." This saved Lin Xuan from embarrassment; as an advanced cultivator, he could not solve even a simple problem for a lower-stage cultivator. Such a situation would be hard to face without losing face.
yě xǔ sān jiè dà zhàn huì chóng xīn kāi qǐ ” ér qiě bǐ shàng cì ， gèng jiā cǎn liè 。
也许三界大战会重新开启”而且比上次，更加惨烈。
After Shangguan Yan left, Lin Xuan went into the training room.
rù wǒ mén lái ， shòu qiān lián mò guài ， kěn dìng huì juǎn rù cóng shàng gǔ chuán chéng xià lái de zhè xuán wō ， suǒ yǐ yǒu yī xiē shì qíng ， tā bì xū duì cǐ nǚ shuō qīng chǔ 。
入我门来，受牵连莫怪，肯定会卷入从上古传承下来的这漩涡，所以有一些事情，他必须对此女说清楚。
Having taken on a disciple with excellent character and abilities, Lin Xuan's mood was quite good. However, he still had something to do.
tā kàn zhe shàng guān yàn de yǎn jīng ， ér zhè yā tou de biǎo qíng mǎn shì jiān dìng ：“ shī fù fàng xīn ” yàn ér wú huǐ ， yǐ hòu ruò shī mén yǒu nán ， bì quán lì yǐ fù ， jiù suàn shì duò rù jiǔ yōu ， yě jué wú yuàn yán 。”
他看着上官雁的眼睛，而这丫头的表情满是坚定：“师父放心”雁儿无悔，以后若师门有难，必全力以赴，就算是堕入九幽，也绝无怨言。”
He reached out his hand and tapped his waist, causing a tower-shaped artifact to fly out.
“ hǎo ， wǒ shōu xià nǐ le 。” lín xuān yě diǎn le diǎn tóu ， suí hòu liǎn shàng lù chū xiào róng ：“ fàng xīn ， wǒ yě jiù zhè me yī shuō ， jí biàn zhēn yǒu nà yī rì ” wǒ zhè zuò shī fù de ， yě bì jiāng jié lì bì hù mén xià dì zǐ 。”
“好，我收下你了。”林轩也点了点头，随后脸上露出笑容：“放心，我也就这么一说，即便真有那一日”我这做师父的，也必将竭力庇护门下弟子。”
The artifact had seven layers and appeared somewhat dilapidated. Without saying anything, who would have guessed that it was the coveted Tower of Heaven?
cǐ nǚ dà xǐ ” gōng gōng jìng jìng de guì xià ， gěi lín xuān kē le sān gè xiǎng tóu ” zhè bài shī zhī lǐ jiù suàn wán chéng le ， hěn jiǎn piáo ， bù guò lǐ jié jiǎn dān ， zhōng jiān de hán yì kě méi yǒu shǎo le bàn diǎn 。
此女大喜”恭恭敬敬的跪下，给林轩磕了三个响头”这拜师之礼就算完成了，很简朴，不过礼节简单，中间的含义可没有少了半点。
This once again proved that one should not judge an object by its appearance alone.
“ yàn ér ， qǐ lái 。”
“雁儿，起来。”
Lin Xuan looked at the artifact and cast a spell. The tower floated above his head as the spirit light enveloped it.
“ xiè shī fù ， bù guò tú ér ， hái yǒu yī bù qíng zhī qíng de 。”， cǐ nǚ qǐ shēn yǐ hòu ， què yòu yíng yíng yī fú ， xiǎo xīn yì yì de kāi kǒu le 。
“谢师父，不过徒儿，还有一不情之情的。”，此女起身以后，却又盈盈一福，小心翼翼的开口了。
The Tower of Heaven was different from other artifacts; to use it, he needed to re-sacrifice using the Treasure Sacrifice Spell. This spell usually came with the artifact itself.
“ bù qíng zhī qíng ？ hǎo ba ， shuō lái tīng tīng 。”
“不情之情？好吧，说来听听。”
However, how to activate it still required further research.
lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， zhè xiǎo nī zi ” guǐ líng jīng de xīn sī hái zhēn duō 。
林轩摇了摇头，这小妮子”鬼灵精的心思还真多。
Lin Xuan looked at the artifact and cast a spell with both hands.
“ shī fù ， shì ， shì zhè yàng de ， nín yě xiǎo de ， tú ér hái yǒu yí gè mèi mèi ， tā duì shī zūn nín yě tóng yàng yǎng mù ， nǐ jì rán shōu xià wǒ ， nà gān cuì zài shōu yí gè 。”，“ hē ， zhè shōu tú dì ， dōu hái nòng chéng mǎi yī sòng yī ， yàn ér ， nǐ ……”
“师父，是，是这样的，您也晓得，徒儿还有一个妹妹，她对师尊您也同样仰慕，你既然收下我，那干脆再收一个。”，“呵，这收徒弟，都还弄成买一送一，雁儿，你……”
Despite the spirit light entering, the tower showed no reaction.
“ shī zūn shù zuì ， mèi mèi yǔ wǒ cóng xiǎo yì qǐ zhǎng dà ， gǎn qíng shēn hòu yǐ jí ， cóng lái bù fēn bǐ cǐ ， rú jīn wǒ bài le zhè me yī wèi liǎo bù qǐ de shī zūn ， xiān tú shàng de jīng jí huà tǎn tú ， zěn me rěn xīn kàn zhe mèi mèi hái zài nà lǐ kǔ kǔ zhēng zhá ne ， hé kuàng líng ér tiān zhēn wú xié ， xīn xìng yǔ zī zhì ， dōu bǐ wǒ zhǐ hǎo bù ruò ， jué bú huì ràng shī zūn nín shī wàng de 。”
“师尊恕罪，妹妹与我从小一起长大，感情深厚以极，从来不分彼此，如今我拜了这么一位了不起的师尊，仙途上的荆棘化坦途，怎么忍心看着妹妹还在那里苦苦挣扎呢，何况翎儿天真无邪，心性与资质，都比我只好不弱，绝不会让师尊您失望的。”
Lin Xuan frowned but did not feel discouraged. Doing things could never be accomplished in one go; he would try other secret techniques.
“ hǎo yī zhāng qiǎo zuǐ ， bù guò ……， suǒ yán dào yě bù cuò ， xíng ， hǎo shì chéng shuāng ， lín mǒu jì rán shōu le yī míng tú dì ， nà zài shōu yí gè yě shì yī yàng de ， dāng rán ， zhè huà bù néng guāng tīng nǐ lái shuō ， wǒ hái yào qīn yǎn kàn yī kàn ， cè cè nà yā tou de zī zhì ， zài zuò dìng duó 。”， lín xuān xiān shì bǎn zhe liǎn kǒng ， shuō dào yí bàn ， què yòu huà fēng yī zhuǎn ， shàng guān yàn tí zhe de xīn zǒng suàn shì fàng le xià lái ， liǎn shàng lù chū dà xǐ zhī sè ：“ zhè shì yīng gāi de ， tú ér zài zhè lǐ ， dài mèi mèi xiè shī zūn ēn diǎn ， wǒ zhè jiù huí qù ， gào sù mèi mèi hǎo xiāo xī ， jiāng tā dài lái zhè lǐ ， wǒ xiàng mèi mèi tīng jiàn zhè ge hǎo xiāo xī ， yí dìng huì gāo xìng dé yùn guò qù 。”
“好一张巧嘴，不过……，所言倒也不错，行，好事成双，林某既然收了一名徒弟，那再收一个也是一样的，当然，这话不能光听你来说，我还要亲眼看一看，测测那丫头的资质，再做定夺。”，林轩先是板着脸孔，说到一半，却又话锋一转，上官雁提着的心总算是放了下来，脸上露出大喜之色：“这是应该的，徒儿在这里，代妹妹谢师尊恩典，我这就回去，告诉妹妹好消息，将她带来这里，我像妹妹听见这个好消息，一定会高兴得晕过去。”
He raised his right hand and recited ancient and mysterious incantations.
“ hē hē ， zhè dào bù jí ， nǐ yí gè yuè hòu ， zài dài tā lái cǐ ， wèi shī hái yǒu shì ， nǐ xiān xià qù 。”
“呵呵，这倒不急，你一个月后，再带她来此，为师还有事，你先下去。”
Time passed quickly as Lin Xuan trained. Unbeknownst to him, the sun had set behind the mountain. In the depths of the cave, Lin Xuan's laughter could be heard.
“ shì ！”， shàng guān yàn liǎn rèn yī lǐ ， suí hòu gōng gōng jìng jìng de tuì le chū qù 。
“是！”，上官雁敛衽一礼，随后恭恭敬敬的退了出去。
After trying 81 different secret techniques, he finally found the Treasure Sacrifice Spell for the Tower of Heaven.
guān yú bǎi cǎo xīn dé de yí wèn ， shī tú liǎ yǒu yì wú yì ， dōu méi yǒu tí qǐ ， zhè dào miǎn le lín xuān de gān gà ， fǒu zé tā táng táng lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ” jū rán wú fǎ jiě jué qū qū líng dòng qī xiū shì de xiū liàn nán tí ， shuō chū qù ， zhè liǎn shì zěn me yě guà bú zhù dì 。
关于百草心得的疑问，师徒俩有意无意，都没有提起，这倒免了林轩的尴尬，否则他堂堂离合期修仙者”居然无法解决区区灵动期修士的修炼难题，说出去，这脸是怎么也挂不住地。
The entire training room was bathed in golden light as the artifact emitted a burst of spirit light. A dazzling golden glow formed, and characters about the size of fists appeared from it.
qiě bù shuō cǐ nǚ lí kāi dòng fǔ ， huān hū què yuè de yàng zi ， lín xuān zài tā lí kāi yǐ hòu ， jiù lái dào le liàn gōng fáng lǐ 。
且不说此女离开洞府，欢呼雀跃的样子，林轩在她离开以后，就来到了练功房里。
The ancient words were clear; these were undoubtedly the Treasure Sacrifice Spell.

收下一个徒弟，而且品性、资质都是上上之选，林轩的心情，也极为不错，不过此时此刻，他还有事要做。
Lin Xuan was overjoyed and focused his gaze.

伸出手来”在腰间一拍，一个宝塔形状的法器飞掠出来。
The Treasure Sacrifice Spell consisted of only a thousand or so words but was filled with profound meanings, making it extremely difficult to understand. Each word contained hidden wisdom!
Lin Xuan sighed, "You must know that in the mortal realm for so many years, I have not taken on a single disciple." He continued, "I am a dedicated cultivator of the immortal path. I truly do not wish to be burdened with unnecessary attachments."
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Shangguan Yan's face was filled with disappointment. After a few moments, she lifted her head dejectedly.
She bowed respectfully and said, "Senior does not need to say it; I already understand that my heart has been too naive."
With that, she knelt down and turned to leave the cave.
"Wait." Lin Xuan called out to her.
"What else do you wish me to do?" Shangguan Yan asked softly.
"You are a bit impatient. Have I ever said that I would definitely not take you as my disciple?"
"Ah?"
Shangguan Yan was stunned, then she burst into joy and knelt down with a loud thud, "Yan'er pays homage to Master."
"Let's not rush it. I haven't said that I will definitely take you," Lin Xuan replied.
"Well, in that case, what is the respect due?" Shangguan Yan asked cautiously, her face filled with confusion from his words.
"When I was in the mortal realm, my sole focus was on ascending to the spirit realm; there simply wasn't time for taking disciples. However, now things are different," Lin Xuan explained. "If you become my disciple, your path may indeed be smoother. But the dangers that lie ahead will be unimaginable. You will face enemies beyond your wildest imagination."
Shangguan Yan's expression was filled with hope as she looked at Lin Xuan.
"Not bad, Yan'er. I can take you as a disciple, but only as an unregistered one. I can teach you and offer some benefits, but I cannot keep you by my side all the time. If the sect needs your help in the future, you must do everything possible—no matter how dangerous it is. Can you do that?"
"I am willing to do so, Master. Since I have taken you as a teacher, if the sect needs me, I will risk anything," Shangguan Yan replied.
"Do not rush to swear. A single word can become a prophecy. Yan'er, let me be honest with you. What I just said was not just for show. If you take me as your teacher, your path may indeed be smoother. But the dangers that lie ahead will be unimaginable. You will face enemies beyond your wildest imagination."
Shangguan Yan's expression turned serious.
"Master, please rest assured. Yan'er has no regrets. I will do my best to help when the sect is in trouble, even if it means going through hell and back," she said with determination.
"Very well, I accept you as a disciple." Lin Xuan nodded. "Rest assured, this was just a casual suggestion. Even if such a day comes, as your teacher, I will do my best to protect my disciples."
Shangguan Yan was overjoyed and knelt down respectfully, giving Lin Xuan three deep bows. The ritual of becoming his disciple was complete.
"Yan'er, rise," Lin Xuan said.
"Thank you, Master. But there is one more request I have." Shangguan Yan stood up and curtsied carefully.
"What is it?"
Lin Xuan shook his head; this little girl had a lot on her mind.
"Master, as you know, I also have a younger sister who admires you just as much. Since you are taking me as your disciple, why not take my sister too?" Shangguan Yan suggested with a smile.
"A buy-one-get-one-free deal? Yan'er, what do you think?"
"I beg for forgiveness, Sister and I grew up together; our bond is unbreakable. Now that I have found such an outstanding teacher, the path to immortality will be smooth sailing. How can I bear to see my sister struggling on her own? Besides, Ling'er is innocent and pure in heart, with a talent no less than mine. She will not disappoint you."
"Quite the eloquent argument. However... your words are indeed convincing. Very well, two for the price of one. Since I have taken one disciple, taking another is just as good. Of course, I need to see her and test her abilities before making a final decision," Lin Xuan said with a serious face.
Shangguan Yan's heart was finally at ease. She smiled widely.
"This is only right. I will tell my sister about this good news and bring her here in a month. I am sure she will be overjoyed."
"Ha, there's no rush. Bring her here next month. I have other matters to attend to now," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Yes!" Shangguan Yan bowed respectfully before retreating gracefully.
The two did not mention the doubts regarding the "Heart of Herbs." This saved Lin Xuan from embarrassment; as an advanced cultivator, he could not solve even a simple problem for a lower-stage cultivator. Such a situation would be hard to face without losing face.
After Shangguan Yan left, Lin Xuan went into the training room.
Having taken on a disciple with excellent character and abilities, Lin Xuan's mood was quite good. However, he still had something to do.
He reached out his hand and tapped his waist, causing a tower-shaped artifact to fly out.
The artifact had seven layers and appeared somewhat dilapidated. Without saying anything, who would have guessed that it was the coveted Tower of Heaven?
This once again proved that one should not judge an object by its appearance alone.
Lin Xuan looked at the artifact and cast a spell. The tower floated above his head as the spirit light enveloped it.
The Tower of Heaven was different from other artifacts; to use it, he needed to re-sacrifice using the Treasure Sacrifice Spell. This spell usually came with the artifact itself.
However, how to activate it still required further research.
Lin Xuan looked at the artifact and cast a spell with both hands.
Despite the spirit light entering, the tower showed no reaction.
Lin Xuan frowned but did not feel discouraged. Doing things could never be accomplished in one go; he would try other secret techniques.
He raised his right hand and recited ancient and mysterious incantations.
Time passed quickly as Lin Xuan trained. Unbeknownst to him, the sun had set behind the mountain. In the depths of the cave, Lin Xuan's laughter could be heard.
After trying 81 different secret techniques, he finally found the Treasure Sacrifice Spell for the Tower of Heaven.
The entire training room was bathed in golden light as the artifact emitted a burst of spirit light. A dazzling golden glow formed, and characters about the size of fists appeared from it.
The ancient words were clear; these were undoubtedly the Treasure Sacrifice Spell.
Lin Xuan was overjoyed and focused his gaze.
The Treasure Sacrifice Spell consisted of only a thousand or so words but was filled with profound meanings, making it extremely difficult to understand. Each word contained hidden wisdom!
