piān piān zhè zhǒng mǐ diǎn xiāo hào yǐ hòu ， huī fù qǐ lái ， bǐ lán sè de yào huǎn màn xǔ duō ， huàn jù huà shuō ， zhè me zuò ， xiào lǜ kě shì bù gāo de ， gēn běn bù néng mǎn zú zì jǐ duì dān yào de xū qiú 。
偏偏这种米点消耗以后，恢复起来，比蓝色的要缓慢许多，换句话说，这么做，效率可是不高的，根本不能满足自己对丹药的需求。
The consumption of this white light point was much slower to recover compared to the blue one. In other words, such a method had low efficiency and couldn't meet his need for medicinal pills.
zhào lín xuān de tuī suàn ， yī cì jiāng yín sè guāng diǎn xiāo hào wán ， zuì duō tí chún sān dào sì kē zhōng pǐn dān 。
照林轩的推算，一次将银色光点消耗完，最多提纯三到四颗中品丹。
According to Lin Xuan's calculation, consuming all the silver light points could only purify three to four middle-grade pills at most.
jiào wéi wěn tuǒ de fāng fǎ shì liǎng zhǒng guāng diǎn dā pèi ， jīng guò jǐ fān shí yàn ， lián jù tǐ de bǐ lì ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yě yǒu le pǔ ér ， lán sè guāng diǎn qǔ jiǔ fèn ， yín sè guāng diǎn qǔ yī fèn ， zhè zhǒng hùn hé shì zuì hǎo de 。
较为稳妥的方法是两种光点搭配，经过几番实验，连具体的比例，林轩心中也有了谱儿，蓝色光点取九份，银色光点取一份，这种混合是最好的。
A more stable approach was to use both types of light points together. After several experiments, Lin Xuan had a clear idea in his mind: take nine parts of blue light points and one part of silver ones; this mixture worked best.
jiē xià lái ， yào shì yī shì shàng pǐn dān ， kàn yǒu méi yǒu jī huì tí chún chū lái 。
接下来，要试一试上品丹，看有没有机会提纯出来。
Next, he wanted to try the top-grade pills to see if there was any chance of purifying them.
lín xuān zhèng zhǔn bèi jìn yí bù shì yàn ， tū rán xiàng shì gǎn yìng dào shén me ， zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， shǒu shàng de dòng zuò dāng rán yě jiù tíng xià lái jǐ “ wǒ jiù zhī dào ， bù kě néng bù yù jiàn má fán 。”
林轩正准备进一步试验，突然像是感应到什么，转过头颅，手上的动作当然也就停下来己“我就知道，不可能不遇见麻烦。”
Just as Lin Xuan was preparing for further trials, something seemed to catch his attention. He turned his head and stopped his hand movements. "I knew it wouldn't be smooth sailing."
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， suí hòu cóng jìng shì zhōng zhàn qǐ ， shēn xíng yī huǎng de zài zǒu le chū qù 。
林轩叹了口气，随后从静室中站起，身形一晃的在走了出去。
Lin Xuan sighed and stood up from the quiet room, moving out with a flicker of his figure.
jiǎ bǎn shàng ， jù jí zhe bù shǎo bǎi cǎo mén de xiū xiān zhě ， dà jiā dōu xiǎo de ， rú jīn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng bú shì hé dǎ zuò ， suǒ yǐ yào me jiāo huàn yī xià xiū liàn xīn dé ， yào me ， jiù shì jǐ míng xiū shì jù zài yì qǐ ， yóu qí zhōng xiū wèi gāo zhī rén ， xiàng mén rén dì zǐ ， jiǎng jiě xiū xiān jiè de yī xiē qí wén yì shì 。
甲板上，聚集着不少百草门的修仙者，大家都晓得，如今这种情况不适合打坐，所以要么交换一下修炼心得，要么，就是几名修士聚在一起，由其中修为高之人，像门人弟子，讲解修仙界的一些奇闻异事。
On the deck, many cultivators from Hundred Grass Sect gathered. They all knew that meditating wasn't suitable in this situation, so they either exchanged cultivation insights or had several cultivators gather to have one with higher cultivation levels explain some strange tales and anecdotes about the cultivation world.
zhè zhǒng xiāo mó shí jiān de fāng shì dào bú cuò ” bù shǎo líng dòng qī dì zǐ dōu tīng dé yī liǎn jīn jīn yǒu wèi zhī sè 。
这种消磨时间的方式倒不错”不少灵动期弟子都听得一脸津津有味之色。
This way of passing time was not bad; most Flexible Spirit disciples listened with great interest.
ér lín xuān de tū rán wài chū ， zì rán yǐn qǐ le zhòng xiū de zhù yì ， bù guǎn zài gàn shén me de ， dōu máng fàng xià shǒu shàng de gōng zuò ， xiàng lín xuān qū xī xíng lǐ le 。
而林轩的突然外出，自然引起了众修的注意，不管在干什么的，都忙放下手上的工作，像林轩屈膝行礼了。
Lin Xuan's sudden departure naturally attracted everyone's attention. Regardless of what they were doing, they all stopped their work and respectfully bowed to him.
gōng jìng shì fā zì nèi xīn ， bù shǎo rén hái mǎn hán qī dài zhī sè 。
恭敬是发自内心，不少人还满含期待之色。
The respect came from the heart, and many had looks of anticipation.
zhè yě shì nán guài de ， zì cóng lín xuān shōu le shàng guān jiě mèi wèi tú ， nà liǎng gè yā tou de xiū wèi jiù tǔ fěi měng jìn zhe ， jiù zài bù jiǔ zhī qián ， hái shuāng shuāng tū pò píng jǐng ， zhù jī chéng gōng 。
这也是难怪的，自从林轩收了上官姐妹为徒，那两个丫头的修为就土匪猛进着，就在不久之前，还双双突破瓶颈，筑基成功。
It wasn't surprising. Since Lin Xuan took the Shangguan sisters as his disciples, their cultivation levels had soared like bandits. Just recently, both broke through their bottlenecks and successfully established their foundations.
zài lín xuān kàn lái ” zhè huà 、 chéng jiù huò xǔ shì bù zhí yī tí de ， dàn zài dī jiē xiū shì yǎn zhōng ， cǐ mù biāo què zú gòu ràng tā men yòng yī shēn lái fèn dòu 。
在林轩看来”这划、成就或许是不值一提的，但在低阶修士眼中，此目标却足够让他们用一身来奋斗。
In Lin Xuan's eyes, this achievement might not be worth mentioning, but to low-level cultivators, such a goal was enough for them to strive with all their might.
ér qiě néng bù néng dá chéng hái shì liǎng shuō ， duì yú shàng guān jiě mèi tā men kě shì xiàn mù dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
而且能不能达成还是两说，对于上官姐妹他们可是羡慕到无以复加的地步。
Moreover, the possibility of achieving it was uncertain, making these disciples envious beyond measure.
tiān shàng diào xiàn bǐng hé liǎng nǚ de jì yù xiāng bǐ ， dōu bù zhí yī tí ， zhè zhǒng hǎo shì shén me shí hòu néng gòu luò dào zì jǐ tóu shàng ne ？
天上掉馅饼和两女的际遇相比，都不值一提，这种好事什么时候能够落到自己头上呢？
Compared to falling from the sky like a pie, the Shangguan sisters' experiences were far more desirable. When would something like this happen to them?
suī rán tā men yě xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， zhè zhǒng xiǎng fǎ shí yǒu ** dōu bù guò shì shē wàng bà le 。
虽然他们也心里有数，这种想法十有**都不过是奢望罢了。
Although they knew such thoughts were nothing but wishful thinking, the vivid examples before their eyes couldn't help but make them imagine. Who wouldn't hope for an instant rise in cultivation level?
kě xiān huó de lì zi bǎi zài yǎn qián ， ràng zhè xiē xiū shì yòu zěn me néng gòu bù fú xiǎng lián piān ， shuí bù shē wàng yī bù dēng tiān ？
可鲜活的例子摆在眼前，让这些修士又怎么能够不浮想联翩，谁不奢望一步登天？
Therefore, in front of Lin Xuan, they showed the utmost respect and obedience, hoping that this ancestor could accept them as a disciple or at least give them some benefits.
suǒ yǐ zài lín xuān miàn qián ， tā men shì biǎo xiàn dé yào duō gōng jìng yǒu duō gōng jìng ， yào duō guāi qiǎo yǒu duō guāi qiǎo ” zhǐ xī wàng zhè wèi lǎo zǔ zōng néng gòu shōu zì jǐ wèi è ……，… bù ， nǎ pà shì suí biàn gěi diǎn shén me hǎo chù ， tā men yě huì huān tiān xǐ dì le 。
所以在林轩面前，他们是表现得要多恭敬有多恭敬，要多乖巧有多乖巧”只希望这位老祖宗能够收自己为呃……，…不，哪怕是随便给点什么好处，他们也会欢天喜地了。
One must be content with what one has!
rén yào zhī zú ！
人要知足！
Lin Xuan was no fool; he knew exactly what these cultivators were thinking. But since he wasn't running a charity hall, helping Hundred Grass Sect migrate had already pushed him to the limit of righteousness. How could he possibly take on more disciples or give them any benefits?
ér lín xuān shì hé děng cōng míng de rén wù ， zhè xiē xiū shì zài xiǎng shén me ， tā xīn zhōng qǐ huì méi yǒu shù ， bù guò zì jǐ yòu bú shì kāi shàn táng de ， bāng bǎi cǎo mén qiān xǐ ， yǐ jīng zǒu dào le rén zhì yì jìn de dì bù ， yòu zěn me kě néng é wài shōu tú huò zhě gěi zhè xiē xiū shì hǎo chù 。
而林轩是何等聪明的人物，这些修士在想什么，他心中岂会没有数，不过自己又不是开善堂的，帮百草门迁徙，已经走到了仁至义尽的地步，又怎么可能额外收徒或者给这些修士好处。
Thus, their hopes went unfulfilled. Although the cultivators were disappointed, they dared not show even a hint of dissatisfaction as Lin Xuan passed by, with everyone retreating three steps whenever he came.
yú shì zhè xiē xiū shì de qǐ pàn yě jiù zhǐ néng shì ér bù jiàn ” zhòng xiū shì suī shī wàng bù yǐ ， dàn zì rán bù gǎn lù chū fēn háo de bù mǎn zhī yì ， lín xuān suǒ dào zhī chù ， tā men dōu guāi guāi de tuì bì sān shè ， wú rén gǎn hé tā bìng jiān zhàn zài yì qǐ de 。
于是这些修士的企盼也就只能视而不见”众修士虽失望不已，但自然不敢露出分毫的不满之意，林轩所到之处，他们都乖乖的退避三舍，无人敢和他并肩站在一起的。
The waves surged on the sea surface, and the damp sea breeze blew past; everything seemed fine. However, Lin Xuan's frown deepened as he looked ahead.
hǎi miàn shàng bō tāo qǐ fú ， cháo shī de hǎi fēng chuī guò ， yī qiè sì hū dōu méi yǒu rèn hé bù tuǒ ， rán ér lín xuān wàng zhe qián fāng ， méi tóu què shēn shēn de zhòu qǐ lái le 。
海面上波涛起伏，潮湿的海风吹过，一切似乎都没有任何不妥，然而林轩望着前方，眉头却深深的皱起来了。
After a moment, his right hand flicked, sending a spell out from his fingers that landed precisely on the ship's array plate. A faint humming sound entered his ears as the spirit boat stopped mid-air.
shǎo qǐng zhī hòu ， tā yòu shǒu yī fú ， yī dào fǎ jué cóng zhǐ zhǎng jiān jī è shè ér chū ， zhèng hǎo luò zài chuán shēn de zhèn pán zhī chù ， suí hòu yǐn yǐn yǒu qīng wēi de wēng míng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà líng zhōu zài bàn kōng zhōng tíng xià lái le 。
少顷之后，他右手一拂，一道法诀从指掌间激垩射而出，正好落在船身的阵盘之处，随后隐隐有轻微的嗡鸣传入耳朵，那灵舟在半空中停下来了。
It hovered but its hidden state remained unchanged.
xuán fú ， bù guò yǐn nì zhuàng tài yī jiù bìng wèi jiě chú 。
悬浮，不过隐匿状态依旧并未解除。
Lin Xuan stood on the deck, gazing into the distance, seemingly observing and pondering.
ér lín xuān zé zhàn zài jiǎ bǎn zhī chù ， tiào wàng zhe yuǎn fāng tiān jì ， sì hū zài guān chá sī suǒ 。
而林轩则站在甲板之处，眺望着远方天际，似乎在观察思索。
"Senior, what is it?"
“ qián bèi ， zěn me le ？”
“前辈，怎么了？”
A sweet voice called out. Shangguan Mudu came from inside the ship; she hadn't been on the deck before. The spirit boat wasn't large, so sensing Lin Xuan's departure from the quiet room, she hurried outside.
yuè ěr de jiāo hū chuán rù ěr lǐ ， shàng guān mù yǔ yuán běn bìng bù zài jiǎ tuō shàng de ， bù guò qū qū yī sōu líng zhōu néng yǒu duō dà ， gǎn jué dào lín xuān cóng jìng shì zhōng chū lái ， tā yě lián máng lái dào le wài biān 。
悦耳的娇呼传入耳里，上官暮雨原本并不在甲拖上的，不过区区一艘灵舟能有多大，感觉到林轩从静室中出来，她也连忙来到了外边。
The sisters were not present; they were still meditating, having completed their foundation establishment with their master's help. However, their cultivation levels were unstable, and if they didn't put in more effort now, they might fall back. If that happened, how could they face their master?
bù guò liǎng jiě mèi dǎo shì méi yǒu chū xiàn ， tā men yī jiù máng zhe dǎ zuò ， zài shī fù de bāng zhù xià wán chéng le zhù jī zhī lù ， kě jìng jiè què shì bìng bù wěn de ， zhè shí hòu ruò bù nǔ lì ， dà yǒu kě néng diē luò huí qù ， ruò zhēn shì rú cǐ ， zì jǐ hái yǒu shén me liǎn miàn jiàn shī fù 。
不过两姐妹倒是没有出现，她们依旧忙着打坐，在师傅的帮助下完成了筑基之路，可境界却是并不稳的，这时候若不努力，大有可能跌落回去，若真是如此，自己还有什么脸面见师傅。
Despite their different personalities, both sisters were working hard at the moment.
suǒ yǐ liǎng jiě mèi xìng gé suī rán bù tóng ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què shì yī yàng de yòng gōng 。
所以两姐妹性格虽然不同，此时此刻，却是一样的用功。
Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Shangguan Mudu; other disciples from Hundred Grass Sect also looked nervous and eagerly awaited his instructions.
lín xuān huí guò tóu lú ， kàn le yī yǎn shàng guān mù yǔ ， bǎi cǎo mén qí tā dì zǐ yě shì yī liǎn de jǐn zhāng zhī sè ， yǎn bā bā de jiāng tā kàn zhe 。
林轩回过头颅，看了一眼上官暮雨，百草门其他弟子也是一脸的紧张之色，眼巴巴的将他看着。
"We're likely facing a big trouble," Lin Xuan sighed, his voice calm as he spoke.
“ wǒ men kǒng pà yù jiàn dà má fán le 。” lín xuān tàn le yì kǒu qì ， yōu rán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“我们恐怕遇见大麻烦了。”林轩叹了一口气，悠然的声音传入耳朵里。
Although the situation was critical, he showed no signs of panic.
yǎn qián de qíng kuàng suī rán wēi jí ， dàn tā yī jiù méi yǒu shén me huāng luàn zhī yì 。
眼前的情况虽然危急，但他依旧没有什么慌乱之意。
"Big trouble. Senior, could you elaborate?"
“ dà má fán ， qián bèi kě fǒu shuō bàn xì yì diǎn ？”
“大麻烦，前辈可否说绊细一点？”
Shangguan Mudu frowned, releasing her divine sense but feeling nothing amiss. However, she had no doubt about what Lin Xuan said; their divine senses were at different levels, and Lin Xuan naturally saw things beyond his own perception.
shàng guān mù yǔ méi tou yí zhòu ， tā jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， què bìng wèi gǎn jué dào sī háo bù tuǒ ， bù guò duì yú lín xuān suǒ shuō de yán yǔ ， cǐ nǚ yě méi yǒu fēn háo de huái yí ， liǎng zhě de shén niàn ， gēn běn jiù bù zài yí gè děng jí ， lín xuān zì rán néng gòu kàn dào yī xiē zì jǐ suǒ bù néng kàn dào de dōng xī 。
上官暮雨眉头一皱，她将神识放出，却并未感觉到丝毫不妥，不过对于林轩所说的言语，此女也没有分毫的怀疑，两者的神念，根本就不在一个等级，林轩自然能够看到一些自己所不能看到的东西。
"I can't say much in detail," he began. "But I know that ahead, our human cultivators are clashing with the sea creatures—more accurately, the shark king's faction. Both sides have nearly ten thousand cultivators; it's a grand and fierce scene."
“ jù tǐ de qíng kuàng ， wǒ yě bù hǎo shuō ” wǒ zhǐ zhī dào ， jiù zài qián fāng ， wǒ men rén zú de xiū xiān zhě ， yǔ hǎi zú ， ń ” zhèng què de shuō ， shì shā wáng yī xì ， zhèng dǎ dé rú huǒ rú tú ， shuāng fāng dōu yǒu jìn wàn xiū xiān zhě ， nà chǎng miàn shì fēi cháng shèng dà cǎn liè de 。”
“具体的情况，我也不好说”我只知道，就在前方，我们人族的修仙者，与海族，嗯”正确的说，是鲨王一系，正打得如火如荼，双方都有近万修仙者，那场面是非常盛大惨烈的。”
Human and sea creature cultivators clashing together?
rén lèi yǔ hǎi zú shàng wàn xiū shì huǒ bìng zài yì qǐ ？
人类与海族上万修士火并在一起？
The disciples of Hundred Grass Sect exchanged glances, their faces showing shock. Such a situation was unimaginable to them. Even Shangguan Mudu was at a loss, making Lin Xuan the only pillar of calmness for everyone, waiting for his instructions.
bǎi cǎo mén dì zǐ bù yóu de miàn miàn xiāng qù ， yí gè èr gè ， liǎn shàng dōu lù chū hài rán zhī sè ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng tā men shì wú fǎ xiǎng xiàng de ， lián shàng guān mù yǔ dōu liù shén wú zhǔ ， lín xuān zì rán chéng le wéi yī de zhǔ xīn gǔ ， suǒ yǒu rén ， quán dōu zài zhè lǐ ， děng dài tā de fēn fù 。
百草门弟子不由得面面相觑，一个二个，脸上都露出骇然之色，这种情况他们是无法想象的，连上官暮雨都六神无主，林轩自然成了唯一的主心骨，所有人，全都在这里，等待他的吩咐。
Lin Xuan didn't immediately speak; if it were just him, this situation wouldn't be troublesome. As long as he was careful, he could safely pass through. Regardless of other abilities, he had full confidence in hisqi collection technique (concealment technique). Even with the shark king present, as long as they weren't targeted from the start, Lin Xuan believed he could slip away unnoticed.
lín xuān zé bìng méi yǒu lì kè kāi kǒu shuō huà shén me ， rú guǒ shì yí gè rén ， yǎn qián de jú miàn gēn běn jiù tán bù shàng má fán ， zhǐ yào xiǎo xīn yì diǎn ， jiù bù nán cóng zhè lǐ píng ān chuān guò ， bié de shén tōng zàn qiě bù shuō ， duì yú liǎn qì shù tā hái shì xìn xīn shí zú ， jiù suàn shì shā wáng zuò zhèn zài cǐ chù ， zhǐ yào bú shì yī kāi shǐ jiù suǒ dìng zì jǐ le ， lín xuān yě yǒu xìn xīn shén bù zhī ， guǐ bù jué de xié dǐ mǒ yóu …… kāi liū 。
林轩则并没有立刻开口说话什么，如果是一个人，眼前的局面根本就谈不上麻烦，只要小心一点，就不难从这里平安穿过，别的神通暂且不说，对于敛气术他还是信心十足，就算是鲨王坐镇在此处，只要不是一开始就锁定自己了，林轩也有信心神不知，鬼不觉的鞋底抹油……开溜。
However, now it was different; Hundred Grass Sect and him were together, making such a large target almost impossible to escape. It was practically an unachievable task.
rán ér xiàn zài bù tóng ， bǎi cǎo mén yǔ zì jǐ zài yì qǐ ， zhè me dà de mù biāo xiǎng yào táo guò ， nà jiù shí zài tài kùn nán le ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， zhè gēn běn jiù shì bù kě néng wán chéng de rèn wù 。
然而现在不同，百草门与自己在一起，这么大的目标想要逃过，那就实在太困难了，甚至可以说，这根本就是不可能完成的任务。
Lin Xuan quickly assessed his situation in his mind.
lín xuān hěn kuài jiù zài xīn zhōng ， duì zì jǐ de chǔ jìng ， zuò le yí gè yǒu xiào de píng gū 。
林轩很快就在心中，对自己的处境，做了一个有效的评估。
Knowing oneself and one's enemy led to victory in every battle. Since he wasn't clear about the outside situation, he first needed to thoroughly analyze his own strength.
zhī jǐ zhī bǐ cái néng bǎi zhàn bǎi shèng ， xiàn zài duì wài miàn de qíng kuàng bú shì hěn qīng chǔ ， dàn shǒu xiān yào jiāng zì jǐ zhè biān de shí lì ， yǐ jí yōu liè ， quán bù fèn xī tòu chè 。
知己知彼才能百战百胜，现在对外面的情况不是很清楚，但首先要将自己这边的实力，以极优劣，全部分析透彻。
"Senior, what should we do?" Shangguan Mudu's face was filled with worry; she was the sect leader and had to be responsible for her disciples' safety. In such a situation, could they turn danger into safety?
“ qián bèi ， nà wǒ men gāi rú hé shì hǎo ne ？” shàng guān mù yǔ de liǎn shàng mǎn shì yōu sè ， tā nǎi yī pài zhī zhǔ ， jiù yào wèi běn pài de dì zǐ fù zé ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ” tā men néng fǒu huà xiǎn wéi yí ne 。
“前辈，那我们该如何是好呢？”上官暮雨的脸上满是忧色，她乃一派之主，就要为本派的弟子负责，这种情况下”他们能否化险为夷呢。
"It's simple: stay calm."
“ rú hé ， dāng rán shì yǐ jìng zhì dòng 。”
“如何，当然是以静制动。”
"Stay calm?" Shangguan Mudu blinked, looking puzzled.
“ yǐ jìng zhì dòng ？” shàng guān mù yǔ zhǎ le zhǎ yǎn jīng ， yǒu xiē bù jiě de kāi kǒu 。
“以静制动？”上官暮雨眨了眨眼睛，有些不解的开口。
"Yes, if we flee now, our target will be too large. Although this spirit boat has some concealment effects, it can't hide from all cultivators' divine senses," Lin Xuan said slowly. "Risking a departure would only backfire; staying here is better."
The consumption of this white light point was much slower to recover compared to the blue one. In other words, such a method had low efficiency and couldn't meet his need for medicinal pills.
According to Lin Xuan's calculation, consuming all the silver light points could only purify three to four middle-grade pills at most.
A more stable approach was to use both types of light points together. After several experiments, Lin Xuan had a clear idea in his mind: take nine parts of blue light points and one part of silver ones; this mixture worked best.
Next, he wanted to try the top-grade pills to see if there was any chance of purifying them.
Just as Lin Xuan was preparing for further trials, something seemed to catch his attention. He turned his head and stopped his hand movements. "I knew it wouldn't be smooth sailing."
Lin Xuan sighed and stood up from the quiet room, moving out with a flicker of his figure.
On the deck, many cultivators from Hundred Grass Sect gathered.
