lín xuān mò rán bàn xiǎng ， quán héng le yī xià lì bì ， tū rán huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， pò kōng ér qù 。
林轩默然半响，权衡了一下利弊，突然化为一道惊虹，破空而去。
Lin Xuan remained silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons. Suddenly, he transformed into a streak of startling light that broke through the air.
guān tā dùn zǒu de fāng xiàng ， zhèng shì líng yào shān zhī suǒ zài 。
观他遁走的方向，正是灵药山之所在。
The direction in which he fled was precisely toward the location of Spirit Medicine Mountain.
lín xuān jué dìng hái shì xiān huí mén pài ， bì jìng yǐ shàng zhǐ shì zì jǐ de fēn xī ， zhè liú yán shì fǒu jiù huì chuán kāi ， bìng wèi líng yào shān dài lái tiān dà de má fán gēn běn jiù hái shì liǎng shuō zhī shì ， yě xǔ zhǐ shì zì jǐ duō lǜ 。
林轩决定还是先回门派，毕竟以上只是自己的分析，这流言是否就会传开，并为灵药山带来天大的麻烦根本就还是两说之事，也许只是自己多虑。
Deciding to return to his sect first, Lin Xuan reasoned that this was just his analysis, and whether or not the rumors would spread and bring great trouble to Spirit Medicine Mountain remained uncertain. Perhaps it was just his overthinking.
hé kuàng jiù suàn shì qíng zhēn de wú fǎ shōu shí ， zì jǐ zài xié dǐ mǒ yóu yě bù chí ， suī rán míng yì shàng zì jǐ yǒu shǎo zhǎng mén de zūn róng ， dàn nà xiē lǎo guài wù yòu qǐ huì zhēn de zài yì zì jǐ yí gè zhù jī qī de xiū shì 。
何况就算事情真的无法收拾，自己再鞋底抹油也不迟，虽然名义上自己有少掌门的尊荣，但那些老怪物又岂会真的在意自己一个筑基期的修士。
Moreover, even if things truly became unmanageable, he could still make a quick escape by "shoeing oil" himself. Although he held the title of Junior Sect Leader, those old monsters wouldn't really care about him as a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
xiāng xìn dào shí hòu yào lí kāi yě qīng ér yì jǔ 。
相信到时候要离开也轻而易举。
Believing that leaving would be easy when the time came, this was his worst-case scenario. If no one believed the rumors, he could continue staying at Spirit Medicine Mountain, enjoying its sheltered benefits without worrying too much about its hidden strength or the high status of a Refinement Alchemist who could interact with both the Daoist and Demon sects.
ér qiě zhè shì zuì huài de dǎ suàn ， rú guǒ gēn běn jiù méi yǒu shén me rén xiāng xìn liú yán ， zì jǐ zé kě yǐ jì xù liú zài líng yào shān ， dà shù dǐ xià hǎo chéng liáng ， bù shuō líng yào shān de yǐn cáng shí lì ， guāng shì zuò wèi liàn dān shī ， dì wèi chāo rán ， zhèng mó liǎng dào jiē chī de kāi ， hǎo chù jiù yǐ jīng ràng lín xuān bù yuàn yì qīng yì lí kāi 。
而且这是最坏的打算，如果根本就没有什么人相信流言，自己则可以继续留在灵药山，大树底下好乘凉，不说灵药山的隐藏实力，光是做为炼丹师，地位超然，正魔两道皆吃得开，好处就已经让林轩不愿意轻易离开。
Looking around, everything on Spirit Medicine Mountain seemed unchanged—majestic green mountains stood tall, suggesting no trouble as he had anticipated. Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel surprised; was it really just his overthinking?
kàn zhe líng yào shān yī qiè rú gù ， qīng shān wēi é sǒng lì ， sì hū bìng méi yǒu yù xiǎng zhōng de má fán ， lín xuān bù yóu de yǒu xiē è rán ， nán dào zhēn shì zì jǐ duō yí ？
看着灵药山一切如故，青山巍峨耸立，似乎并没有预想中的麻烦，林轩不由得有些愕然，难道真是自己多疑？
"Immortal Master!"
“ xiān shī ！”
“仙师！”
A young disciple respectfully bowed, a member of the outer sect of Spirit Medicine Mountain.
yí gè tóng zi gōng jìng de xíng yī lǐ ， zhèng shì líng yào shān de wài mén dì zǐ 。
一个童子恭敬的行一礼，正是灵药山的外门弟子。
"Hmm." Lin Xuan glanced at him and felt familiar, though he could not recall his name. It wasn’t surprising given that as an alchemy expert, they needed many hands for sorting herbs or tending to furnaces, so there were more outer sect disciples than in other sects. Even with his superior memory, it was impossible to recognize every single one.
“ ń 。” lín xuān piǎo le tā yī yǎn ， jué de yǒu xiē yǎn shú ， bù guò què xiǎng bù qǐ míng zì ， yě nán guài ， zuò wèi jīng tōng liàn dān shù de mén pài ， bù lùn fēn xuǎn yào cái ， hái shì zhào gù dān lú ， dōu xū yào dà liàng rén shǒu ， gù ér suǒ shōu de wài mén dì zǐ ， bǐ qí tā mén pài yào duō dé duō ， lín xuān suī rán jì yì lì yuǎn chāo cháng rén ， què yě bù kě néng měi yí gè dōu rèn de guò lái
“嗯。”林轩瞟了他一眼，觉得有些眼熟，不过却想不起名字，也难怪，做为精通炼丹术的门派，不论分选药材，还是照顾丹炉，都需要大量人手，故而所收的外门弟子，比其他门派要多得多，林轩虽然记忆力远超常人，却也不可能每一个都认得过来
"Has anything unusual happened recently within the sect?"
“ zuì jìn běn mén kě yǒu fā shēng shén me yì wài ？”
“最近本门可有发生什么意外？”
"Unusual?" The young disciple paused, then cautiously replied: "Master Immortal, everything is well here; no unusual incidents have occurred."
“ yì wài ？” nà tóng zi yī lèng ， suí jí xiǎo xīn yì yì de dào ：“ qǐ bǐng xiān shī 。 běn mén yī qiè ān hǎo ， bìng méi yǒu shén me yì wài 。”
“意外？”那童子一愣，随即小心翼翼的道：“启禀仙师。本门一切安好，并没有什么意外。”
"Alright, you may go now!"
“ hǎo le ， nǐ xià qù ba ！”
“好了，你下去吧！”
"Yes!"
“ shì ！”
“是！”
Watching the young disciple's back disappear, Lin Xuan felt a heavy stone lifted from his heart. Although outer sect disciples had low status, if the sect faced significant changes, they would certainly know about it. Since this disciple seemed unaware, it indicated no real danger.
wàng zhe nà tóng zi de bèi yǐng ， lín xuān xīn zhōng zǒng suàn là xià le yī kuài dà shí ， suī rán wài mén dì zǐ dì wèi hěn dī ， dàn běn mén rú guǒ zāo féng dà biàn de huà ， tā men kěn dìng yě huì zhī dào yī èr de ， jì rán gāi tóng zi yī wú suǒ jué 。 nà zhèng míng zhēn méi yǒu shén me wēi xiǎn 。
望着那童子的背影，林轩心中总算落下了一块大石，虽然外门弟子地位很低，但本门如果遭逢大变的话，他们肯定也会知道一二的，既然该童子一无所觉。那证明真没有什么危险。
It appeared he was overthinking things. The few fellows in the market district were just scattered cultivators with limited experience. Meanwhile, the leaders of major sects were well-versed and cunning; they wouldn't believe such vague rumors.
kàn lái shì zì jǐ duō lǜ le ， fāng shì dì nà jǐ gè jiā huo ， yī kàn jiù shì sàn xiū ér yǐ ， jiàn shí yǒu xiàn ， ér nà xiē dà mén pài de zhǔ shì zhī rén ， wú bù jiàn duō shí guǎng 。 jiān zhà jiǎo huá ， zì rán bú huì tīng xìn zhè zhǒng xū wú piāo miǎo de liú yán 。
看来是自己多虑了，坊市地那几个家伙，一看就是散修而已，见识有限，而那些大门派的主事之人，无不见多识广。奸诈狡猾，自然不会听信这种虚无缥缈的流言。
As long as the Three Great Sectors and the Supreme Demon Sovereign didn’t covet Spirit Medicine Mountain, Lin Xuan wasn’t worried about the minor factions. The waters at Spirit Medicine Mountain ran deep; among its secluded elders, there were likely many Core Formation stage experts, possibly even some Incarnation Stage monsters. Dealing with such small matters would be a mere formality.
ér zhǐ yào sān jù tóu yǔ jí è mó zūn bù qǐ jì yú zhī xīn ， qí tā de xiāo xiǎo zhī bèi lín xuān dào bìng bù dān xīn ， líng yào shān de shuǐ shēn dé jǐn ， nà xiē qián xiū de zhǎng lǎo zhī zhōng bù fá níng dān qī de gāo shǒu ， nòng bù hǎo hái yǒu yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù ， yìng fù zhè zhǒng xiǎo chǎng miàn ， bù guò shì jǔ shǒu zhī láo 。
而只要三巨头与极恶魔尊不起觊觎之心，其他的宵小之辈林轩倒并不担心，灵药山的水深得紧，那些潜修的长老之中不乏凝丹期的高手，弄不好还有元婴期老怪物，应付这种小场面，不过是举手之劳。
Lin Xuan’s lips curled into a playful smile as he returned to his cave dwelling.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān guà zhe wán wèi de xiào róng 。 huí dào le zì jǐ dì dòng fǔ 。
林轩嘴角边挂着玩味的笑容。回到了自己地洞府。
He directly entered the alchemy room and set up restrictions at the entrance before beginning to clean up the treasures from Quinyun Range.
zhí jiē lái dào liàn dān shì zhōng 。 zài mén kǒu bù hǎo jìn zhì ， lín xuān kāi shǐ qīng lǐ zhè yī cì kuí yīn shān mài suǒ de 。
直接来到炼丹室中。在门口布好禁制，林轩开始清理这一次奎阴山脉所得。
The most important was naturally the Heavenly Dust Pill, though it had completely merged with Scarlet Origin Pill, losing all its essence energy. But if he could use Blue Star Sea for purification...
zuì zhòng yào de zì rán hái shì tiān chén dān le ， suī rán tā yǔ chì yuán dān wán quán róng hé zài le yì qǐ ， líng qì quán shī ， dàn zhǐ yào yòng lán sè xīng hǎi tí chún chū lái ……
最重要的自然还是天尘丹了，虽然它与赤元丹完全融合在了一起，灵气全失，但只要用蓝色星海提纯出来……
Lin Xuan happily admired his find before carefully storing it in a storage bracelet.
lín xuān mǎn dài xǐ sè de shǎng wán le yī fān ， rán hòu cái chóng xīn zhuāng rù chǔ wù shǒu zhuó ， xiǎo xīn yì yì de shōu hǎo le 。\\\\\
林轩满带喜色的赏玩了一番，然后才重新装入储物手镯，小心翼翼的收好了。\\\\\
Next, he took out The True Scripture of Profane Evil. When he first obtained this strange book, Lin Xuan had only skimmed through it, finding the language archaic and the meanings profound. He hadn’t had time to study its techniques thoroughly. However, both Supreme Demon Sovereign and Heavenly Saber Demon Lord were prodigies; their cultivation methods would likely be top-grade.
jiē zhe tā yòu jiāng 《 xuán mó zhēn jīng 》 ná le chū lái ， gāng dé dào zhè bù qí shū zhī shí 。 lín xuān zhǐ shì cū lüè de fān le yī fān ， jué de tā yán cí gǔ piáo ， yù yì shēn ào ， zhì yú suǒ zài de gōng fǎ jiū jìng rú hé ， què yě méi yǒu shí jiān xì xì yán jiū ， bù guò jí è mó zūn yǔ tiān shā mó jūn dōu nǎi yí dài rén jié ， tā men suǒ xiū liàn dì gōng fǎ 。 xiǎng lái yě shì dǐng jiē 。
接着他又将《玄魔真经》拿了出来，刚得到这部奇书之时。林轩只是粗略的翻了一翻，觉得它言辞古朴，寓意深奥，至于所载的功法究竟如何，却也没有时间细细研究，不过极恶魔尊与天煞魔君都乃一代人杰，他们所修炼地功法。想来也是顶阶。
Now back in his domain, he naturally wanted to delve into this book deeply.
xiàn zài huí dào le zì jǐ de dì pán 。 zì rán yào jiāng cǐ shū hǎo hǎo de zhuó mó yī fān 。
现在回到了自己的地盘。自然要将此书好好的琢磨一番。
Lin Xuan focused on the paper in his hand.
lín xuān xīn shén fàng zài le shǒu zhōng de zhǐ piàn 。
林轩心神放在了手中的纸片。
The sun gradually set, and darkness enveloped the cave.
tài yáng jiàn jiàn piān xī ， dòng fǔ nèi zhú jiàn hēi àn le xià qù 。*****
太阳渐渐偏西，洞府内逐渐黑暗了下去。*****
Lin Xuan stretched out a hand, flicking it. A beam of white light shot forth, circling above him before condensing into an egg-sized ball of light.
lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái 。 qū zhǐ yī dàn ， dùn shí yī dào bái guāng shè chū ， nà guāng yùn zài tā tóu dǐng pán xuán le yī quān ， rán hòu huà wèi yī jī dàn dà xiǎo de guāng tuán 。
林轩伸出手来。屈指一弹，顿时一道白光射出，那光韵在他头顶盘旋了一圈，然后化为一鸡蛋大小的光团。
Gentle light filled the cave as if it were daybreak.
róu hé de guāng máng zhàn fàng chū lái ， jiāng dòng fǔ nèi zhào dé yóu rú bái zhòu yì bān 。
柔和的光芒绽放出来，将洞府内照得犹如白昼一般。
Lin Xuan remained motionless, continuing to read by the light.
lín xuān yī dòng bù dòng ， jì xù píng guāng yè dú 。
林轩一动不动，继续屏光夜读。
Thus, until dawn broke and the sun rose over the horizon, Lin Xuan finally withdrew his thoughts, lifting his head.
jiù zhè yàng ， zhí dào dì èr tiān fú xiǎo ， tài yáng yuè chū dì píng xiàn ， lín xuān cái shōu huí shén sī ， tái qǐ le tóu lái 。
就这样，直到第二天拂晓，太阳跃出地平线，林轩才收回神思，抬起了头来。
His expression was peculiar—mixed with joy and worry.
tā de biǎo qíng pǒ wèi gǔ guài ， zěn me shuō ne ， xǐ yōu cān bàn 。
他的表情颇为古怪，怎么说呢，喜忧参半。
Actually, Lin Xuan had not finished reading this technique in full; he had only skimmed through most of it. But already, he felt deeply moved.
qí shí ， lín xuān hái méi yǒu jiāng cǐ gōng fǎ quán bù dú wán ， jǐn jǐn shì liú lǎn le yī dà bàn ， rán ér yǐ jīng fēi cháng gǎn kǎi 。
其实，林轩还没有将此功法全部读完，仅仅是浏览了一大半，然而已经非常感慨。
No wonder Heavenly Saber Demon Lord possessed such power, and Supreme Demon Sovereign was hailed as the top of the Demon sect. This technique was indeed extraordinary—far beyond just "precious."
guài bù dé tiān shā mó jūn yǒu rú cǐ shén tōng ， jí è mó zūn gèng bèi yù wéi mó dào de dì yī rén ， cǐ gōng fǎ què shí fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yǐ bù jǐn jǐn shì “ zhēn guì ” liǎng gè zì néng gòu xíng róng 。
怪不得天煞魔君有如此神通，极恶魔尊更被誉为魔道的第一人，此功法确实非同小可，已不仅仅是“珍贵”两个字能够形容。
What surprised Lin Xuan even more was that this wasn’t a common cultivation method for demons; rather, it was a ghost cultivation technique.
ér gèng lìng lín xuān yì wài dì shì ， zhè bú shì pǔ tōng dì xiū mó gōng fǎ ， zhǔn què de shuō ， yīng gāi shì yī běn guǐ xiū gōng fǎ 。
而更令林轩意外地是，这不是普通地修魔功法，准确的说，应该是一本鬼修功法。
It was well-known that ghost cultivators were a branch of demon cultivators, but they were far more mysterious and rare compared to ordinary demon cultivators.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， guǐ xiū nǎi shì xiū mó zhě de yí gè fēn zhī ， rán ér yǔ pǔ tōng de xiū mó zhě xiāng bǐ ， gèng jiā de guǐ yì shén mì ， yě gèng jiā xī yǒu wú bǐ 。
众所周知，鬼修乃是修魔者的一个分支，然而与普通的修魔者相比，更加的诡异神秘，也更加稀有无比。
Although Lin Xuan had suspected when he saw Supreme Demon Sovereign using the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, reading The True Scripture of Profane Evil confirmed his suspicions. The top demon cultivator was actually a ghost cultivator.
suī rán kàn jiàn jí è mó zūn ná chū wàn hún fān de shí hòu ， lín xuān jiù yǒu suǒ huái yí ， dàn zhí dào yuè dú le zhè běn 《 xuán mó zhēn jīng 》 cái zhēn zhèng kěn dìng ， mó dào dì yī rén ， jū rán shì guǐ xiū shì de shēn fèn 。
虽然看见极恶魔尊拿出万魂幡的时候，林轩就有所怀疑，但直到阅读了这本《玄魔真经》才真正肯定，魔道第一人，居然是鬼修士的身份。
This discovery left Lin Xuan both worried and elated.
yě zhèng shì zhè ge fā xiàn ， ràng lín xuān yòu yōu yòu xǐ 。
也正是这个发现，让林轩又忧又喜。
On one hand, as a high-level ghost cultivation technique, it could be practiced. The stronger her power, the greater its help would be to him.
yì fāng miàn ， jì rán shì guǐ dào de dǐng jiē gōng fǎ ， nà ér zì rán kě yǐ xiū liàn ， tā dì shí lì yuè qiáng ， duì zì jǐ bāng zhù yuè dà 。
一方面，既然是鬼道的顶阶功法，那儿自然可以修炼，她地实力越强，对自己帮助越大。
But on the other hand, Lin Xuan felt extremely disappointed!
kě lìng yì fāng miàn ， lín xuān yě shì wú bǐ de shī wàng a ！
可另一方面，林轩也是无比的失望啊！
In general, if it had been a regular demon cultivation method, although he couldn’t practice it himself, he could still use the various secret techniques directly.
zěn me shuō ne ， rú guǒ shì yì bān de mó dào gōng fǎ ， lín xuān suī rán bù néng gòu xiū liàn ， dàn lǐ miàn de zhǒng zhǒng mì shù shén tōng ， què bù fáng ná lái zhí jiē yùn yòng 。
怎么说呢，如果是一般的魔道功法，林轩虽然不能够修炼，但里面的种种秘术神通，却不妨拿来直接运用。
However, ghost cultivation methods were different.
dàn guǐ xiū gōng fǎ què yòu bù tóng 。
但鬼修功法却又不同。
To understand, ghost cultivators, while also part of the quest for immortality, differed significantly from both cultivators and demon cultivators. Those who practiced ghost cultivation techniques included not only humans but also souls like Lin Xian with special constitutions.
yào zhī dào guǐ dào xiū shì suī rán yě suàn shì qiú xiān zhī rén de yí gè fēn zhī ， dàn bié shuō yǔ xiū zhēn zhě ， jiù suàn shì yǔ xiū mó zhě ， yě yǒu hěn dà qū bié 。
要知道鬼道修士虽然也算是求仙之人的一个分支，但别说与修真者，就算是与修魔者，也有很大区别。
Meanwhile, those seeking immortality often spoke of essence energy, a broad term. In reality, there were two types: yang essence energy and yin essence energy.
xiū liàn guǐ dào gōng fǎ de chú le rén ， hái yǒu xiàng lín ér zhè yàng yōng yǒu tè shū tǐ zhì de yīn hún 。
修炼鬼道功法的除了人，还有像林儿这样拥有特殊体质的阴魂。
For ordinary cultivators or demon cultivators, the essence energy they inhaled was yang essence energy. However, ghost cultivators required precisely opposite yin essence energy.
Lin Xuan remained silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons. Suddenly, he transformed into a streak of startling light that broke through the air.
The direction in which he fled was precisely toward the location of Spirit Medicine Mountain.
Deciding to return to his sect first, Lin Xuan reasoned that this was just his analysis, and whether or not the rumors would spread and bring great trouble to Spirit Medicine Mountain remained uncertain. Perhaps it was just his overthinking.

"Has anything unusual happened recently within the sect?"
"Unusual?" The young disciple paused, then cautiously replied: "Master Immortal, everything is well here; no unusual incidents have occurred."
"Alright, you may go now!"
"Yes!"
Watching the young disciple's back disappear, Lin Xuan felt a heavy stone lifted from his heart. Although outer sect disciples had low status, if the sect faced significant changes, they would certainly know about it. Since this disciple seemed unaware, it indicated no real danger.
