那血饮好强的剧毒，幻灵天火都有些压制不住，这种情况还从未出现过，不过想想也没什么，灵界的各种奇毒，自然远非人界可以比拟的。
That Blood Drink's剧 poison was incredibly potent, even causing some restraint on the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire. Such a situation had never occurred before, but Lin Xuan found it unremarkable; after all, the various strange poisons in the Spirit Realm were far beyond what could be compared to those of the Mortal World.
lín xuān xīn zhōng gǎn dào yī zhèn zhèn fán è ， bù guò tā què bìng wèi yóu yù shén me ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， líng zhōu bèi yī tuán líng guāng bāo guǒ ， suí hòu guāng yùn liǎn qù ， cǐ líng zhōu de shēn yǐng què yuè lái yuè piāo hū ， wū ， gǔ piáo cāng liáng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ ， líng zhōu xiàng yuǎn chù 〖jī〗shè ér qù 。
林轩心中感到一阵阵烦恶，不过他却并未犹豫什么，一道法诀打出，灵舟被一团灵光包裹，随后光韵敛去，此灵舟的身影却越来越飘忽，呜，古朴苍凉的声音传入耳里，灵舟像远处〖jī〗shè而去。
Lin Xuan felt an unpleasant sensation in his heart, yet he did not hesitate. A spell was cast, enveloping the spirit boat with a layer of spiritual light. As the light faded, the silhouette of the spirit boat became increasingly ethereal. An ancient and melancholic voice entered his ears as the spirit boat seemed to depart toward the distance.
dāng wù zhī jí ， dāng rán shì lí kāi yǎn qián de shì fēi zhī dì 。
当务之急，当然是离开眼前的是非之地。
The pressing matter at hand was to leave this place of contention.
ruò zì jǐ zhēn shì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， kě yǐ bù zài hū ， kě xī cǐ shí de zhuàng tài shì jiè zhù dān yào zhī lì ， ér qiě hái shì yǒu shí xiàn dì 。
若自己真是dòng玄期修仙者，可以不在乎，可惜此时的状态是借助丹yào之力，而且还是有时限地。
If he were an advanced玄 period cultivator, he could afford to ignore it; however, currently, he relied on medicinal pills for temporary strength, with a time limit.
lín xuān dāng rán bú huì shǎ hū hū de liú zài cǐ chù ， rú guǒ zài chū xiàn yī hǎi zú de lǎo guài wù ， zì jǐ kě jiù zhēn de wēi xiǎn le 。
林轩当然不会傻乎乎的留在此处，如果再出现一海族的老怪物，自己可就真的危险了。
Lin Xuan would not be foolish enough to remain here. If another sea creature elder appeared, his situation would truly become perilous.
zhè yī zhàn ， tā yǐ jìn lì ， xiāng xìn zài miè chú hǎi zú de gāo shǒu yǐ hòu ， rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， shì yǒu hěn dà jī huì fǎn bài wéi shèng dì 。
这一战，他已尽力，相信在灭除海族的高手以后，人类修仙者，是有很大机会反败为胜地。
He had already done his best in this battle, and he believed that after eliminating the sea creatures' experts, human cultivators had a significant chance of turning defeat into victory.
rú guǒ zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng tā men dōu shū le ， lín xuān yě bú huì zài guǎn ， làn ní fú bù shàng qiáng de jiā huo ， sǐ le yě jiù sǐ le 。
如果这种情况他们都输了，林轩也不会再管，烂泥扶不上墙的家伙，死了也就死了。
If they lost under these circumstances, Lin Xuan would not care; dead was dead for those who could never be saved.
dàn yuàn bú yào zài yù jiàn shén me bō zhé 。
但愿不要再遇见什么bō折。
Let's hope no more setbacks occurred.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān huí dào le jìng shì zhī zhōng 。
心中如此想着，林轩回到了静室之中。
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan returned to his quiet room.
jù tā tuī cè ， zì jǐ dòng xuán qī de zhuàng tài dà yuē hái kě yǐ wéi chí yī zhǎn chá zuǒ yòu de gōng fu 。
据他推测，自己dòng玄期的状态大约还可以维持一盏茶左右的功夫。
Based on his estimation, he could maintain this advanced玄 state for about the time it took to brew a pot of tea.
dāng wù zhī jí ， shì jiāng xuè yǐn de jù dú chú qù 。
当务之急，是将血饮的剧毒除去。
The pressing matter now was to remove Blood Drink’s剧 poison.
lín xuān pán xī ér zuò ， shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī fǎ ， shāng kǒu chù ， guǒ rán yùn hán yǒu jù dú ， hǎo zài yǐ jīng bèi tā yòng fǎ lì guǒ zhù ， zài yǐ huàn líng tiān huǒ 〖 zhèn 〗 yā ， zhè yàng de qíng kuàng xià ， dōu néng wèi zì jǐ dài lái xiē xǔ bù shì zhī chù ， zhè dú yào de wēi lì ， guǒ rán yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng de kě bǐ 。
林轩盘膝而坐，施展内视之法，伤口处，果然蕴含有剧毒，好在已经被他用法力裹住，再以幻灵天火〖镇〗压，这样的情况下，都能为自己带来些许不适之处，这毒yào的威力，果然远非普通的可比。
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and employed Inner Vision. Sure enough, there was indeed剧 poison in the wound, though fortunately, he had already wrapped it with his spiritual power and restrained it with Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire. Even under such circumstances, this poison still caused him some discomfort; its potency truly far exceeded ordinary poisons.
xuè yǐn ， hái zhēn shì yī jiàn hǎo dōng xī 。
血饮，还真是一件好东西。
Blood Drink really was a good thing.
shān shuǐ shàn suī rán huǐ zài le duì zé de shǒu lǐ ， bù guò dé dào zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， shuō qǐ lái ， zì jǐ qí shí hái shì zhuàn le 。
山水扇虽然毁在了对责的手里，不过得到这件宝物，说起来，自己其实还是赚了。
Although the Mountains and Rivers Fan was destroyed by the opponent, obtaining this treasure meant he had gained more than he lost.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo wēi wēi shàng qiào ” liǎn shàng yě lù chū xiē xǔ dé yì yú xiào róng ， bù guò zhè ge biǎo qíng bìng méi yǒu bǎo chí duō jiǔ ” wǔ qì zhuàn le ， kě qí tā de ne ， nà lì yào líng ， guān jiàn shí kè néng gòu bǎo mìng ， yòng zài zhè lǐ ” bù lùn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù ， dōu tài làng fèi le 。
林轩嘴角微微上翘”脸上也lù出些许得意于笑容，不过这个表情并没有保持多久”武器赚了，可其他的呢，那粒yào灵，关键时刻能够保命，用在这里”不论从哪个角度，都太làng费了。
Lin Xuan's lips curled slightly into a smug smile. However, this expression did not last long as his joy over the weapon was overshadowed by regret regarding the other items. The medicinal spirit, while crucial for critical moments, seemed too wasteful to use here from any angle.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， bù guò tā xīn zhōng bìng méi yǒu shén me hòu huǐ zhī yì 。
想到这里，林轩叹了口气，不过他心中并没有什么后悔之意。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan sighed but harbored no regrets.
zhè me zuò ， sǔn shī shì yǒu de ， bù guò què bāng bǎi cǎo mén jiāng wēi jī píng ān dù guò ， bié rén de wēi jī zàn qiě bù shuō ， liǎng gè tú ér lín xuān kě bù néng qì zhī bù gù 。
这么做，损失是有的，不过却帮百草mén将危机平安度过，别人的危机暂且不说，两个徒儿林轩可不能弃之不顾。
He had lost something, but he helped the Hundred Herbs Sect safely navigate this crisis. Regardless of others' crises, his two disciples could not be abandoned.
bì jìng nà yī shēng shī fù bú shì bái jiào de 。
毕竟那一声师傅不是白叫的。
After all, that master was not for nothing.
zhǐ shì yǒu yì diǎn ràng lín xuān shí fēn hào qí ” nà shā zú de lǎo jiā huǒ ， wèi hé huì duì liǎng gè yā tou qiè ér bù shě ， bǎi chū yī zhǒng shì zài bì děi de jué xīn lái ne ？
只是有一点让林轩十分好奇”那鲨族的老家伙，为何会对两个丫头锲而不舍，摆出一种势在必得的决心来呢？
What intrigued Lin Xuan was why that shark elder persistently pursued those two girls with such determination?
líng ér yǔ yàn ér de xiū wèi zài tā yǎn lǐ ， gēn běn jiù bù zhí yī tí ， zhù jī qī ， zài dòng xuán lǎo guài de yǎn lǐ ， yǔ fán rén yě shì méi yǒu shén me qū bié dì ， dōu shì lóu yǐ 。
翎儿与雁儿的修为在他眼里，根本就不值一提，筑基期，在dòng玄老怪的眼里，与凡人也是没有什么区别地，都是蝼蚁。
In his eyes, their cultivation levels were negligible; at the Foundation Establishment stage, they were no different from ordinary humans in the eyes of an advanced玄 expert—just ants. As for appearance, while the two girls looked nice, they were merely exceptionally beautiful women and not what one would call breathtakingly stunning. This old monster's taste was questionable, given his status and cultivation level; finding a better concubine would be effortless. Thus, this theory did not hold.
zhì yú zī sè” bù dé bù shuō ， liǎng gè yā tou zhǎng dé hái bú cuò ， dàn yě jiù jiào chū zhòng de měi nv bà le ， yuǎn tán bù shàng shén me qīng guó qīng chéng zhī sè， zhè lǎo guài wù ruò shì hǎo sè， yǐ tā de shēn fèn xiū wèi ， xiǎng yào zhǎo dào gèng hǎo de jī qiè ” nà shì qīng ér yì jǔ ， suǒ yǐ ， zhè ge tuī duàn yī yàng bù chéng lì 。
至于姿sè”不得不说，两个丫头长得还不错，但也就较出众的美nv罢了，远谈不上什么倾国倾城之sè，这老怪物若是好sè，以他的身份修为，想要找到更好的姬妾”那是轻而易举，所以，这个推断一样不成立。
Though intrigued, Lin Xuan had no time to dwell on these matters now. First, he needed to expel the poison. After all, the old monster’s元婴 was in his hands; he could take his time searching for its soul later.
lín xuān hěn hào qí ， bù guò xiàn zài méi yǒu xīn qíng xiǎng zhè xiē ， xiān qū dú ” fǎn zhèng lǎo guài wù de yuán yīng jiù zài zì jǐ de shǒu lǐ ， yī huì er màn màn sōu hún bù chí 。
林轩很好奇，不过现在没有心情想这些，先驱毒”反正老怪物的元婴就在自己的手里，一会儿慢慢搜hún不迟。
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan's mind calmed down. He took a deep breath and adjusted his posture. Each hand formed a spell, placed on his knees. Employing Inner Vision to check his condition, he began the process of expelling the poison.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān de xīn yě jiàn jiàn píng fù xià lái le ” xī le kǒu qì ， tiáo zhěng yī xià zì jǐ de zuò zī ” shuāng shǒu gè niē yī dào fǎ jué ， píng fàng yú shuāng xī 。 shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù ， jiǎn chá yī xià hún shēn zhuàng kuàng hòu ， jiù kāi shǐ qū dú 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩的心也渐渐平复下来了”吸了口气，调整一下自己的坐姿”双手各捏一道法诀，平放于双膝。施展内视之术，检查一下浑身状况后，就开始驱毒。
This process was smooth; although Blood Drink’s剧 poisons were formidable, with his advanced玄 spiritual power and Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire assisting, even the most potent toxins proved no match. After a short while, the poison was easily expelled.
zhè ge guò chéng shí fēn shùn lì ， suī rán xuè yǐn shàng de dú sù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn lín xuān cǐ kè de fǎ lì ， kě shì dòng xuán jí bié de ， zài jiā shàng huàn líng tiān huǒ cóng páng xiāng zhù ， zài lì hài de jù dú ， bì jìng yě shì wú gēn zhī wù ， zhǐ huā fèi le yī xiǎo huì er de gōng fu ， jiù qīng sōng qū chú 。
这个过程十分顺利，虽然血饮上的毒素非同xiǎo可，但林轩此刻的法力，可是dòng玄级别的，再加上幻灵天火从旁相助，再厉害的剧毒，毕竟也是无根之物，只huā费了一xiǎo会儿的功夫，就轻松驱除。
"Phew."
“ hū 。”
“呼。”
Lin Xuan exhaled in relief. With this worry behind him, he finally managed a genuine smile. Moments later, a sense of weakness emanated from his body.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， hòu gù zhī yōu jiě chú ， liǎn shàng zǒng suàn shì lù chū le xiē xǔ xiào yì ， yòu guò piàn kè ， cóng shēn 〖 tǐ 〗 nèi bù ， yī zhèn zhèn wú lì gǎn chuán chū 。
林轩松了口气，后顾之忧解除，脸上总算是lù出了些许笑意，又过片刻，从身〖体〗内部，一阵阵无力感传出。
The medicinal spirit's effects had vanished, and he fell back to the realm of separation.
yào líng de zuò yòng yǐ jīng guī yú xū wú ， tā chóng xīn diē luò dào lí hé rǎn zi 。
yào灵的作用已经归于虚无，他重新跌落到离合冉子。
In fact, "falling" was inaccurate; he was already at the middle stage of Separation Realm, merely returning to his original state.
bù ， diē luò zhè ge cí ， qí shí bìng bù zhǔn què ， tā běn lái jiù shì lí hé zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， rú jīn bù guò shì huí dào běn lái de zhuàng kuàng bà le 。
不，跌落这个词，其实并不准确，他本来就是离合中期的修仙者，如今不过是回到本来的状况罢了。
Despite anticipating this situation, Lin Xuan still felt a tinge of disappointment. If only... if that medicinal spirit had allowed him to breakthrough to advanced玄...
jǐn guǎn zǎo jiù liào dào zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng le ， xīn zhōng hái shì nán miǎn huì yǒu xiē xǔ shī luò ， rú guǒ “…… rú guǒ fú yòng le nà yào， jiù zhēn de tū pò dào dòng xuán jiù hǎo le 。
尽管早就料到这种情况了，心中还是难免会有些许失落，如果“……如果服用了那yào，就真的突破到dòng玄就好了。
Lin Xuan thought to himself, shaking his head in self-deprecation. There was no such thing as effortless gain in the world; cultivation required unimaginable effort and hardship.
lín xuān rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， suí hòu yòu zì cháo le yáo le yáo tóu ， zhè shì shàng méi yǒu bù láo ér huò ， xiū xiān gèng shì xū yào fù chū cháng rén nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de nǔ lì yǔ xīn kǔ 。
林轩如此想着，随后又自嘲了摇了摇头，这世上没有不劳而获，修仙更是需要付出常人难以想象的努力与辛苦。
Such thoughts were immature.
huì bào zhè yàng de xiǎng fǎ ， shí zài shì yǒu xiē bù chéng shú 。
会抱这样的想法，实在是有些不成熟。
In fact, carefully considering it, even though he had used up the medicinal spirit, this experience still yielded significant gains.
qí shí zǐ xì xiǎng xiǎng ， zì jǐ zhè yī cì ， suī rán jiāng yào líng yòng diào ， dàn shōu huò yě shì fēi xiǎo。
其实仔细想想，自己这一次，虽然将yào灵用掉，但收获也是非xiǎo。
At least, he now understood what advanced玄 felt like.
zhì shǎo gǎn shòu le yī xià dòng xuán shì zěn yàng 。
至少感受了一下dòng玄是怎样。
While descriptions of the advanced玄 stage could be found in ancient texts, how could those rigid records compare to personal experience? Especially for subtle and profound aspects, these texts could not possibly cover. This was not just about whether one could describe it clearly; it involved secrets of晋级. Which cultivator would willingly share their experiences with others?
suī rán guān yú dòng xuán qī ， diǎn jí shàng yě bù nán zhǎo dào miáo shù ， dàn nà xiē shēng yìng de wén zì jì zǎi ， rú hé néng yǔ qīn shēn gǎn wù xiāng bǐ ne ？
虽然关于dòng玄期，典籍上也不难找到描述，但那些生硬的文字记载，如何能与亲身感悟相比呢？
All the texts were merely rough descriptions, and there was no guarantee they were accurate. Some cultivators not only rose early for gain but also enjoyed causing harm to others while benefiting themselves by scribbling false texts.
yóu qí shì yī xiē jīng wēi xuán miào zhī chù ， diǎn jí shàng gèng bù kě néng jì zǎi de ， zhè yǐ jīng bú shì ， néng bù néng gòu miáo shù qīng chǔ de wèn tí ， ér shì shè jí dào jìn jí de mì mì ， nǎ ge xiū xiān zhě huì chī bǎo le chēng de ， jiāng zì jǐ de jīng yàn yǔ bié rén fēn dǎo ne ？
尤其是一些jīng微玄妙之处，典籍上更不可能记载的，这已经不是，能不能够描述清楚的问题，而是涉及到晋级的秘密，哪个修仙者会吃饱了撑的，将自己的经验与别人分导呢？
This scribbling wasn't entirely random; it involved subtle modifications in key areas. The saying "a hair's breadth apart leads to a thousand miles off" held true, and the dangers were evident.
suǒ yǒu de diǎn jí ， dōu jǐn jǐn shì yī xiē cū zhī dà yè de miáo shù ， ér qiě nán bǎo bú huì yǒu cuò ， yǒu de xiū xiān zhě ， bù jǐn jǐn shì wú lì bù zǎo qǐ ， yǒu de shèn zhì hái xǐ huān sǔn rén bù lì jǐ ， bǐ rú shuō luàn xiě diǎn jí 。
所有的典籍，都仅仅是一些粗枝大叶的描述，而且难保不会有错，有的修仙者，不仅仅是无利不早起，有的甚至还喜欢损人不利己，比如说luàn写典籍。
Thus, descriptions of each realm and how to突破瓶颈in ancient texts could serve as references but should not be taken as gospel. If one did so, it would be akin to seeking death.
zhè zhǒng luàn xiě ， bú shì shuō wán quán hú shuō bā dào ， ér shì zài yī xiē guān jiàn de dì fāng ， lüè zuò gǎi liáng ， suǒ wèi chā zhī háo lí miù yǐ qiān lǐ ， qí zhōng de wēi hài ， bù yán ér yù 。
这种luàn写，不是说完全胡说八道，而是在一些关键的地方，略作改良，所谓差之毫厘谬以千里，其中的危害，不言而喻。
But Lin Xuan was different; all his insights came from personal experience. He had felt the advanced玄 stage firsthand and understood the bottlenecks, how spiritual power should be突破. The gains were significant; while they might not completely eliminate future challenges, they would make breakthroughs easier and save hundreds of years of cultivation.
suǒ yǐ guān yú měi gè jìng jiè de miáo shù ， yǐ jí rú hé tū pò píng jǐng de wèn tí ， diǎn jí shàng suǒ xiě de ， kě yǐ zuò cān kǎo ， dàn rú guǒ wán quán xìn jìn qù ， dàng chéng gōng fǎ yì bān de xiū liàn ， nà jiǎn zhí yǔ zhǎo sǐ shì méi yǒu qū bié dì 。
所以关于每个境界的描述，以及如何突破瓶颈的问题，典籍上所写的，可以做参考，但如果完全信进去，当成功法一般的修炼，那简直与找死是没有区别地。
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan's mood improved considerably.
dàn lín xuān xiàn zài bù tóng ， tā suǒ yǒu de yī qiè ， dōu shì zì jǐ de gǎn wù ， ér qiě shì qiè shēn tǐ huì guò dòng xuán qī shì rú hé ， yǐ jí zhōng jiān de píng jǐng ， líng lì gāi rú hé tū pò ， zhè shōu huò kě jiù dà le ， suī rán bù néng shuō ， yǐ hòu yù dào de píng jǐng shí hòu ， duì tā sī háo yǐng xiǎng yě wú ， dàn tū pò qǐ lái ， huì róng yì xǔ duō 。
但林轩现在不同，他所有的一切，都是自己的感悟，而且是切身体会过dòng玄期是如何，以及中间的瓶颈，灵力该如何突破，这收获可就大了，虽然不能说，以后遇到的瓶颈时候，对他丝毫影响也无，但突破起来，会容易许多。
Misfortunes never come alone; he had gained much from relying on medicinal pills for a short time. Rather than wallowing in his current weakness, it was better to work harder and advance to advanced玄 as soon as possible.
kǒng pà huì jié shěng shù bǎi nián kǔ xiū shí jiān de 。
恐怕会节省数百年苦修时间的。
Lin Xuan reached into his pocket and took out an玉瓶, uncorked it, and swallowed the contents without hesitation.
zhè me yī xiǎng ， lín xuān yě jiù xīn qíng hǎo le xǔ duō 。
这么一想，林轩也就心情好了许多。
With the advanced玄 state gone, he felt weak. Although the medicinal spirit was a miraculous substance, significantly boosting his cultivation in a short time placed a heavy burden on him.
shī zhī dōng ǒu ， shōu zhī sāng yú ， hé kuàng jiè zhù dān yào zhī lì ， bì jìng bú shì shén me cháng yuǎn zhī jì ， yǔ qí zài zhè lǐ ròu téng ， bù rú duō nǔ lì yì diǎn ， zǎo rì jìn jiē dòng xuán 。
失之东偶，收之桑榆，何况借助丹yào之力，毕竟不是什么长远之计，与其在这里ròu疼，不如多努力一点，早日进阶dòng玄。
Given that they were still in the Vast Wasteland Sea, who knew what other dangers might arise? The pressing matter now was to quickly recover to peak condition.
suí hòu lín xuān shēn shǒu yī pāi ， cóng huái lǐ qǔ chū yí gè yù píng lái ， bá kāi píng sāi ， jiāng lǐ miàn de dān yào dào le chū lái ， èr huà bù shuō de tūn rù dǔ zi lǐ miàn 。
随后林轩伸手一拍，从怀里取出一个yù瓶来，拔开瓶塞，将里面的丹yào倒了出来，二话不说的吞入肚子里面。
For most cultivators, recovering within such a short period would be challenging. However, with his abundant medicinal pills, Lin Xuan found it manageable!。
That Blood Drink's剧 poison was incredibly potent, even causing some restraint on the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire. Such a situation had never occurred before, but Lin Xuan found it unremarkable; after all, the various strange poisons in the Spirit Realm were far beyond what could be compared to those of the Mortal World.
Lin Xuan felt an unpleasant sensation in his heart, yet he did not hesitate. A spell was cast, enveloping the spirit boat with a layer of spiritual light. As the light faded, the silhouette of the spirit boat became increasingly ethereal. An ancient and melancholic voice entered his ears as the spirit boat seemed to depart toward the distance.
The pressing matter at hand was to leave this place of contention.
If he were an advanced玄 period cultivator, he could afford to ignore it; however, currently, he relied on medicinal pills for temporary strength, with a time limit.
Lin Xuan would not be foolish enough to remain here. If another sea creature elder appeared, his situation would truly become perilous.
He had already done his best in this battle, and he believed that after eliminating the sea creatures' experts, human cultivators had a significant chance of turning defeat into victory.
If they lost under these circumstances, Lin Xuan would not care; dead was dead for those who could never be saved.
Let's hope no more setbacks occurred.
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan returned to his quiet room.
Based on his estimation, he could maintain this advanced玄 state for about the time it took to brew a pot of tea.
The pressing matter now was to remove Blood Drink’s剧 poison.
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and employed Inner Vision. Sure enough, there was indeed剧 poison in the wound, though fortunately, he had already wrapped it with his spiritual power and restrained it with Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire.
