林轩如今，确实正修炼到紧要关头，仙道之路，越到后面越是艰难，想要将瓶颈突破，huā费的时间与精力也越多。
Lin Xuan was indeed at a critical juncture in his cultivation. The path of immortality became increasingly difficult the deeper one delved into it, and breaking through bottlenecks required more time and effort.
ná lín xuān xiàn zài de qíng kuàng jǔ lì ， cóng lí hé zhōng qī dào hòu qī ， méi gè shí tiān bàn gè yuè shì xiǎng yě bié xiǎng dì ” ér lín xuān cóng fú yào dǎ zuò ， xiàn zài bù guò cái yī tiān yī yè bà le 。
拿林轩现在的情况举例，从离合中期到后期，没个十天半个月是想也别想地”而林轩从服药打坐，现在不过才一天一夜罢了。
Taking Lin Xuan's current situation as an example, the transition from the mid-stage to late stage of Separation and Union took no less than ten days or a fortnight; yet he had only spent a day and a night since taking his medicine and meditating.
huàn jù huà shuō ， jiù suàn tā xiū liàn yī qiè shùn lì ， jù lí chū guān de shí jiān yě hái yáo bù kě jí ， shí tiān bàn gè yuè ， huáng huā cài dōu liáng le ， zhēn děng dào nà yī kè ， hēi fēng dǎo kǒng pà zǎo jiù yì zhǔ 。
换句话说，就算他修炼一切顺利，距离出关的时间也还遥不可及，十天半个月，黄huā菜都凉了，真等到那一刻，黑风岛恐怕早就易主。
In other words, even if everything went smoothly for him, there was still a long way to go before he could emerge from seclusion. Ten days or so would be too late, as the green vegetable would have rotted by then, and Black Wind Island might well change hands.
ér zhè suǒ fā shēng de yī qiè ， lín xuān yì diǎn yě bù xiǎo de ” cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān de xiū liàn jìn zhǎn bù cuò ， sān zhǒng dān yào jiē lián zài dān tián huà kāi ， yào lì shùn zhe jīng mài ， huǎn huǎn de liú tǎng xiàng sì zhī bǎi ń ……
而这所发生的一切，林轩一点也不晓得”此时此刻，林轩的修炼进展不错，三种丹药接连在丹田化开，药力顺着经脉，缓缓的流淌像四肢百嗯……
Lin Xuan knew nothing of these events at this moment. His cultivation progress was going well; three types of pills had sequentially opened in his dantian, their medicinal power flowing through his meridians like a river to the limbs...
tū rán ， yī dào huǒ guāng fēi le jìn lái ” cǐ chuán yīn fú shì lín xuān zhuān mén cì yǔ ài tú ， yóu yú yǒu tā de shén shí yìn jì zài shàng tou ， suǒ yǐ lián dòng fǔ wài miàn de jìn zhì ， yě kě yǐ wú shì chuān tòu 。
突然，一道火光飞了进来”此传音符是林轩专门赐予爱徒，由于有他的神识印记在上头，所以连洞府外面的禁制，也可以无视穿透。
Suddenly, a flash of fire flew into the room. This was a transmission talisman Lin Xuan specially gave to his beloved disciple, as it bore his spiritual consciousness mark and could penetrate even the outer prohibitions of his cave.
lín xuān suī rán zài qián xīn xiū liàn ， què bìng bù yì wèi zhe ， jiù duì zhōu wéi de zhuàng kuàng yī sī gǎn yìng yě méi yǒu ， yǐ tā xiǎo xīn jǐn shèn de xìng gé ， jiù suàn zài chōng jī píng jǐng de shí kè ， yě huì liú yī lǚ shén shí zài wài tou 。
林轩虽然在潜心修炼，却并不意味着，就对周围的状况一丝感应也没有，以他小心谨慎的性格，就算在冲击瓶颈的时刻，也会留一缕神识在外头。
Although Lin Xuan was deeply focused on breaking through his bottleneck, he wasn't oblivious to his surroundings. With his cautious nature, he kept a fragment of his spirit awareness outside even during such moments.
fā xiàn le chuán yīn fú ， lín xuān méi shāo wēi wēi yī dòng ， zhěng gè rén de zī shì què bìng biǎo gǎi biàn shén me ， wèi le chōng jī píng jǐng ” tā fù chū le ruò dà de dài jià ” dāng rán bú huì suí suí biàn biàn de qīng yì zhōng duàn le ” dàn yě bú huì bù guǎn ， jǐ xī zhī hòu ， guāng yùn yī shǎn ， yí gè hún shēn yǒu hēi de yuán yīng chū xiàn zài tóu dǐng shàng miàn 。
发现了传音符，林轩眉梢微微一动，整个人的姿势却并表改变什么，为了冲击瓶颈”他付出了若大的代价”当然不会随随便便的轻易中断了”但也不会不管，几息之后，光晕一闪，一个浑身黝黑的元婴出现在头顶上面。
Upon discovering the transmission talisman, Lin Xuan's brows twitched slightly, but his posture didn't change. He had invested great effort in this attempt; he wouldn't back down now. A second dantian body had already emerged from the outer world.
zhè jiù shì lín xuān yōng yǒu shuāng yīng yī dān de hǎo chù ， ruò huàn yī míng pǔ tōng de tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ” yù jiàn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， nà jiù zhǐ yǒu gān dèng yǎn le 。
这就是林轩拥有双婴一丹的好处，若换一名普通的同阶修仙者”遇见这种情况，那就只有干瞪眼了。
Beside the cave entrance stood a beautiful young woman named Shangguan Yan, her face filled with anxiety. Although she was compelled to disturb her master's cultivation, it still felt wrong. She wondered if her master would be angry at her.
ér chōng jī hòu qī píng jǐng yě yǒu xiān hòu shùn xù ， lín xuān xiàn zài shì zhǔ yuán yīng zài jìn jí ” dì èr yuán yīng yǔ yāo dān zài yī páng kě yǐ qǐ fǔ zhù de xiào guǒ ， jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì jiāng jī lǜ tí shēng xǔ duō ” dàn bìng bù yì wèi zhe ” méi yǒu dì èr yuán yīng yǔ yāo dān jiù bù néng jìn jí chéng gōng 。
而冲击后期瓶颈也有先后顺序，林轩现在是主元婴在晋级”第二元婴与妖丹在一旁可以起辅助的效果，简单的说，就是将几率提升许多”但并不意味着”没有第二元婴与妖丹就不能晋级成功。
Just as she pondered this, thunderous sounds echoed in her ears—indicating the stone door of the cave had opened.
rú guǒ kě yǐ ” lín xuān yě xī wàng shuāng yīng yī dān kě yǐ qí xīn xié lì ， bù guò yàn ér de xìng gé tā qīng chǔ ” nà yā tou wěn zhòng chéng shú ， zì jǐ yòu tè yì dīng zhǔ ， ruò bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ ” shì bú huì lái zhè lǐ dǎ rǎo zì jǐ de 。
如果可以”林轩也希望双婴一丹可以齐心协力，不过雁儿的性格他清楚”那丫头稳重成熟，自己又特意叮嘱，若不到万不得已”是不会来这里打扰自己的。
Shangguan Yan quickly raised her head but saw no familiar figure; instead, a tiny dantian body appeared.
dì èr yuán yīng xiǎn xíng yǐ hòu ， shuāng méi jǐn zhòu ， liǎn shàng hěn yǒu jǐ fēn chén yín zhī sè zài lǐ tou 。
第二元婴显形以后，双眉紧皱，脸上很有几分沉吟之色在里头。
Master's second dantian body!
suí hòu xiǎo shǒu tái qǐ ” nà huǒ guāng dùn shí suō xiǎo le shù bèi ” luò dào tā de zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
随后小手抬起”那火光顿时缩小了数倍”落到他的掌心之中。
Shangguan Yan's heart skipped a beat. Her master hadn't emerged from seclusion; he merely sent his second dantian out. This must be a critical juncture in cultivation.
lín xuān qīng yì jiù dú chū le lǐ miàn de nèi róng 。
林轩轻易就读出了里面的内容。
With this thought, the young woman felt increasingly uneasy but stepped forward bravely.
liǎn sè dùn shí nán kàn qǐ lái le 。
脸色顿时难看起来了。
"Master, I have come to see you."
zì jǐ jiū jìng zhāo shuí rě shuí le ， wǔ shí nián dōu píng ān dù guò ， piān piān zài zhè chōng jī píng jǐng de guān jiàn shí kè ……
自己究竟招谁惹谁了，五十年都平安度过，偏偏在这冲击瓶颈的关键时刻……
Even though it was her master's second dantian body, she still showed great respect, just as she did when facing Lin Xuan before.
bù guò yù dào le yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ ， shǎo qǐng zhī hòu ” lín xuān liǎn shàng de yù mèn jiù huà wèi le nù sè ， jǐn guǎn shì xiǎo xiǎo de yuán yīng zhī tǐ ， què yòu fǎng ruò shí zhì dì shā qì ， cóng shēn qū lǐ miàn bèng shè chū qù 。
不过遇到了也没有办法，少顷之后”林轩脸上的郁闷就化为了怒色，尽管是小小的元婴之体，却又仿若实质的杀气，从身躯里面迸射出去。
"Disciple, you've disturbed my cultivation. You are guilty of a thousand deaths, but the situation is such that," "It doesn't matter; I understand." Lin Xuan said expressionlessly. "This isn't your fault. Lead the way and show me who dares to be so reckless."
“ zhè qún jiā huo jì rán zhǎo sǐ ， nà běn shào yé jiù sòng nǐ men dào dì fǔ tóu tāi qù 。”
“这群家伙既然找死，那本少爷就送你们到地府投胎去。”
Shangguan Yan's face showed some hesitation.
dì èr yuán yīng nán nán zì yǔ ， suí hòu shēn shǒu zài ròu shēn de yāo jiān yī pāi ， qǔ chū le liǎng jiàn bǎo wù lái 。
第二元婴喃喃自语，随后伸手在肉身的腰间一拍，取出了两件宝物来。
"Master, are you worried about not being able to handle them?"
xiǎo kǒu yī zhāng ， yī dào qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ” jiāng nà bǎo wù guǒ zhù ， tūn luò rù dù ， suí hòu shēn xíng yī shǎn ， liú xià zhǔ yuán yīng yǔ yāo dān jì xù xiū liàn ， dì èr yuán yīng yǐ jīng lái dào le wài miàn 。
小口一张，一道青霞飞掠而出”将那宝物裹住，吞落入肚，随后身形一闪，留下主元婴与妖丹继续修炼，第二元婴已经来到了外面。
Lin Xuan was a man of great intelligence; he could see from his disciple's eyes what she feared.
dòng fǔ zhī cè ， yī wèi jiāo měi shào nǚ zhù zú ér lì ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì tǎn tè zhī yì ” zì jǐ suī shì qíng fēi dé yǐ ， dàn dǎ rǎo shī zūn xiū xíng bì jìng shì xīn zhōng nán ān dì ， yě bù zhī dào shī fù huì bú huì guài zuì zì jǐ 。
洞府之侧，一位娇美少女驻足而立，脸上满是忐忑之意”自己虽是情非得已，但打扰师尊修行毕竟是心中难安地，也不知道师父会不会怪罪自己。
"I apologize for my master. I have no doubt about your strength, but now that you're at this critical juncture, you can only manifest your second dantian body. The other side is an entire sect and even a late-stage Separation and Union elder," Shangguan Yan stammered.
zhèng zhè yàng xiǎng zhe ， hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì dòng fǔ de shí mén dǎ kāi le 。
正这样想着，轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，却是洞府的石门打开了。
These were the truth, but saying them out loud was somewhat disrespectful to her master.
shàng guān yàn máng tái qǐ tóu lú ” què méi yǒu kàn jiàn shú xī de shēn yǐng ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī xiǎo xiǎo de yuán yīng 。
上官雁忙抬起头颅”却没有看见熟悉的身影，取而代之的是一小小的元婴。
Lin Xuan smiled without speaking. He wasn't someone who valued face over life; he acted based on facts. His disciple's concerns weren't unfounded, but he couldn't be judged by common sense.
shī zūn de dì èr yuán yīng ！
师尊的第二元婴！
"Girl, don't worry. I have full confidence in this situation. Lead the way."
shàng guān yàn xīn zhōng gē dēng yī xià ， shī fù běn tǐ méi yǒu chū guān ” jǐn jǐn shì ràng dì èr yuán yīng chū lái ， kàn lái xiū liàn guǒ rán dào le guān jiàn 。
上官雁心中咯噔一下，师父本体没有出关”仅仅是让第二元婴出来，看来修炼果然到了关键。
"Yes, Master."
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ” shào nǚ xīn zhōng yuè fā tǎn tè ， dàn hái shì kuài bù yíng shàng qù le 。
想到这里”少女心中越发忐忑，但还是快步迎上去了。
Since Lin Xuan had said so much, Shangguan Yan didn't dare to argue further; otherwise, she would be committing a grave offense against her master and ancestor.
“ jiàn guò shī fù 。”
“见过师父。”
She bowed and transformed into a streak of light, flying forward. Lin Xuan followed closely behind.
suī rán shì dì èr yuán yīng ， dàn yě hái shì lín xuān zì jǐ ， suǒ yǐ shàng guān yàn de liǎn shàng mǎn shì gōng jìng zhī yì ， yǔ yǐ qián miàn duì lín xuān yě méi yǒu fēn háo chā yì 。
虽然是第二元婴，但也还是林轩自己，所以上官雁的脸上满是恭敬之意，与以前面对林轩也没有分毫差异。
Unlike the Separation and Union stage, where an inner dantian body was quite stable but lacked physical form, its power was greatly diminished. Lin Xuan's second dantian body coming out to fight was indeed audacious.
“ tú ér dǎ rǎo shī fù ， wàn sǐ ， dàn xiàn zài de qíng xíng shí zài shì ”，“ mí bú yòng shuō le ， wèi shī xīn zhōng yǒu shù 。” lín xuān miàn wú biǎo qíng de shuō ：“ zhè bù guài nǐ ” dài lù ， wǒ dào yào kàn kàn jiū jìng shì nǎ ge jiā huo ， rú cǐ de bù zhī sǐ huó 。”
“徒儿打扰师父，万死，但现在的情形实在是”，“弥不用说了，为师心中有数。”林轩面无表情的说：“这不怪你”带路，我倒要看看究竟是哪个家伙，如此的不知死活。”
As they say, those who haven't eaten pork can still watch pigs run; most disciples of the Hundred Grass Sect understood this principle well. Thus, when they saw Lin Xuan's dantian body, their eyes widened in shock.
rán ér shàng guān yàn de liǎn shàng què lù chū yī sī chí yí zhī sè 。
然而上官雁的脸上却露出一丝迟疑之色。
"Senior, you..."
“ zěn me ， nǐ shì dān xīn wèi shī bú shì nà huǒ rén de duì shǒu me ？”
“怎么，你是担心为师不是那伙人的对手么？”
Shangguan Mudouyu covered her mouth and couldn't even speak clearly.
lín xuān shì hé děng cōng míng de rén wù ， mù guāng sǎo guò ， cóng tú ér de yǎn zhōng ， yǐ kàn chū tā zài dān xīn shén me 。
林轩是何等聪明的人物，目光扫过，从徒儿的眼中，已看出她在担心什么。
"Do not be alarmed, this is merely my second dantian body." Lin Xuan seemed very casual as he waved his hand. A layer of green light enveloped the dantian body, which flew out with a nonchalant attitude.
“ shī zūn shù zuì ， tú ér jué duì méi yǒu huái yí nín shí lì de yì tú ， zhǐ shì ， nín xiàn zài xiū liàn dào guān jiàn shí kè ， zhǐ néng shī zhǎn dì èr yuán yīng chū qiào de shén tōng ， ér duì fāng què shì yī zhěng gè mén pài dǎ guò lái le ， hái yǒu yī lí hé zhōng qī dǐng fēng de lǎo zǔ ”，” shàng guān yàn niè rú zhe shuō 。
“师尊恕罪，徒儿绝对没有怀疑您实力的意图，只是，您现在修炼到关键时刻，只能施展第二元婴出窍的神通，而对方却是一整个门派打过来了，还有一离合中期顶峰的老祖”，”上官雁嗫嚅着说。
"Subservient."
zhè xiē dōu shì shí qíng ” bù guò dāng miàn shuō chū lái ， duō shǎo hái shì yǒu yī xiē bó shī zūn de miàn zi le 。
这些都是实情”不过当面说出来，多少还是有一些驳师尊的面子了。
Shangguan sisters were taken aback but immediately decided to follow closely behind. However, Lin Xuan's voice stopped them: "Yan'er and Ling'er, stay here and watch as I break through their defenses."
rán ér lín xuān què xiào ér bù yǔ ， tā kě bú shì jiāng liǎn miàn kàn dé bǐ xìng mìng hái zhòng de rén wù ” lín xuān zuò shì qíng ” xiàng lái shì shí shì qiú shì de ” tú ér de kǎo lǜ méi cuò ， bù guò zì jǐ yòu qǐ shì yòng cháng lǐ kě yǐ chuǎi duó 。
然而林轩却笑而不语，他可不是将脸面看得比性命还重的人物”林轩做事情”像来是实事求是的”徒儿的考虑没错，不过自己又岂是用常理可以揣度。
"Yes."
“ shǎ yā tou ， chēng fàng xīn ， wèi shī yǒu jué duì bǎ wò ， dài lù 。”
“傻丫头，称放心，为师有绝对把握，带路。”
Since Lin Xuan said so, the two girls didn't dare disobey and stopped.
“ shì ， shī fù 。”
“是，师傅。”
"Stop."
lín xuān huà dōu shuō dào zhè yī bù ， shàng guān yàn zì rán bù hǎo zài tuī sān zǔ sì le ， fǒu zé qǐ bù shì qī shī miè zǔ 。
林轩话都说到这一步，上官雁自然不好再推三阻四了，否则岂不是欺师灭祖。
Outside, the uninvited guests noticed something was amiss. The red-haired elder shouted sharply, halting all attacks in unison.
xiàng lín xuān xíng le yī lǐ ， suí hòu jiù huà wèi jīng hóng xiàng qián fēi le guò qù 。
像林轩行了一礼，随后就化为惊虹向前飞了过去。
This action revealed a hint of what was happening: they were from the same sect and excelled at coordination; otherwise, such precision wouldn't be possible.
lín xuān yě suí hòu gēn le shàng qù ， lí hé yǔ yuán yīng bù tóng ”〖 tǐ 〗 nèi de yuán yīng yǐ pǒ wèi wěn gù ， bù guò méi yǒu ròu qū ， shí lì zì rán shì dà dǎ zhé kòu dì ， lín xuān jiù zhè yàng ràng dì èr yuán yīng chū lái duì dí ， hái zhēn shì xiāo zhāng wú bǐ 。
林轩也随后跟了上去，离合与元婴不同”〖体〗内的元婴已颇为稳固，不过没有肉躯，实力自然是大打折扣地，林轩就这样让第二元婴出来对敌，还真是嚣张无比。
The red-haired elder flashed past to stand before Lin Xuan, his gaze scanning him with a look of surprise on his face.
sú huà shuō ， méi chī guò zhū ròu ， zǒng jiàn guò zhū pǎo bù ， zhè ge dào lǐ ， bǎi cǎo mén de dì zǐ ， yě dà duō xīn lǐ qīng chǔ ， suǒ yǐ zài kàn jiàn lín xuān yuán yīng de yī kè ， yí gè èr gè ， jī hū quán bù mù dèng kǒu dāi le 。
俗话说，没吃过猪肉，总见过猪跑步，这个道理，百草门的弟子，也大多心理清楚，所以在看见林轩元婴的一刻，一个二个，几乎全部目瞪口呆了。
A Separation and Union stage cultivator, even at the top of mid-stage, should have two dantian bodies. Why hadn't he taken over? Was it because he couldn't find an appropriate body?
“ qián bèi ， nín ……”
“前辈，您……”
This was why the red-haired elder had such thoughts. For cultivators who mastered the secret technique to manifest a second dantian body, there was a primary and secondary distinction, but outsiders couldn't discern this.
shàng guān mù yǔ yǐ shǒu yǎn kǒu ， lián huà dōu bù tài shuō dé qīng chǔ 。
上官幕雨以手掩口，连话都不太说得清楚。
However, he didn't delve deeper into the matter. Regardless of the reason, a mere dantian body wasn't on his level.
“ mén zhǔ bù yòng jīng yí ， zhè jǐn jǐn shì lǎo fū de dì èr yuán yīng ér yǐ 。”， lín xuān què xiǎn de fēi cháng suí yì ， suí hòu xiǎo shǒu yī wò ， yuán yīng zhī qū bèi yī céng qīng máng bāo guǒ ， dà liē liē de fēi chū qù le 。
“门主不用惊疑，这仅仅是老夫的第二元婴而已。”，林轩却显得非常随意，随后小手一握，元婴之躯被一层青芒包裹，大咧咧的飞出去了。
But he didn't rush to act; this old fellow was cautious. He decided to probe Lin Xuan's situation first.
“ bēi fù 。”
“卑傅。”
"Which sect are you from, and is this your main base?"
shàng guān jiě mèi yī è ” háo bù chí yí ， jiù dǎ suàn jǐn gēn shàng qù ， lín xuān wēi xiào de shēng yīn què chuán rù ěr lǐ ：“ yàn ér líng ér ， chēng liǎ jiù liú zài cǐ chù ， qiě kàn wèi shī rú hé pò dí 。”
上官姐妹一愕”毫不迟疑，就打算紧跟上去，林轩微笑的声音却传入耳里：“雁儿翎儿，称俩就留在此处，且看为师如何破敌。”
"Yes, so what?" Lin Xuan replied coldly.
“ shì 。”
“是。”
"Haha, I've also set my eyes on this风水宝地. If you're willing to give it up, I can let all of your disciples go in peace," the red-haired elder said proudly, as if offering a favor.
lín xuān jì rán zhè yàng shuō ， zài nǚ zì rán bù gǎn wéi ào shuāng shuāng jiāng shēn xíng tíng xià lái le 。
林轩既然这样说，再女自然不敢违拗双双将身形停下来了。
"Is that so?" Lin Xuan smiled but his lips curled with mockery: "I think there's something you haven't understood."
“ tíng 。”
“停。”
"What is it?"
wài miàn ， nà qún bù sù zhī kè zì rán yě fā xiàn le bù tuǒ hóng fā lǎo zhě yī shēng duàn hē ， jiù zhěng qí huà yī de jiāng gōng jī tíng xià lái le 。
外面，那群不速之客自然也发现了不妥红发老者一声断喝，就整齐划一的将攻击停下来了。
The red-haired elder felt uneasy but couldn't pinpoint why.
cóng zhè ge dòng zuò ， jiù kě yǐ kàn chū xiē xǔ duān ní 。
从这个动作，就可以看出些许端倪。
"Who is the hunter and who is the prey?"
kěn dìng shì tóng yī mén pài de ， ér qiě hái shàn cháng pèi hé ， fǒu zé bú huì rú cǐ xùn liàn yǒu sù 。
肯定是同一门派的，而且还擅长配合，否则不会如此训练有素。
Lin Xuan suddenly reached behind his head, lightly tapping it. A flash of green light shot from his mouth, then vanished as a peculiar object appeared before everyone's eyes.
shēn xíng yī shǎn hóng fā lǎo zhě yǐ lái dào le lín xuān de jìn qián ， mù guāng zài tā shēn shàng sǎo guò ” liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn jīng qí zhī sè 。
身形一闪红发老者已来到了林轩的近前，目光在他身上扫过”脸上露出几分惊奇之色。
It was a tower-shaped artifact with seven layers; although not in shambles, it lacked any striking features.
lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， jìng jiè shèn zhì yǔ zì jǐ yī yàng dōu shì zhōng qī dǐng fēng ， dàn què jǐn yǒu yí gè yuán yīng zhī tǐ ， tā wèi shén me méi yǒu duó shě ， nán dào shì hái méi yǒu zhǎo dào hé shì de qū tǐ ma ？
离合期修仙者，境界甚至与自己一样都是中期顶峰，但却仅有一个元婴之体，他为什么没有夺舍，难道是还没有找到合适的躯体吗？
Originally, Lin Xuan had boasted so much that even the red-haired elder thought he would reveal some powerful treasure. But seeing this implement, they were all stunned and exchanged glances with the other cultivators below.
nán guài hóng fā lǎo zhě huì yǒu zhè yàng de xiǎng fǎ ， duì yú xiū liàn dì èr yuán yīng mì shù de xiū xiān zhě 〖 tǐ 〗 nèi yuán yīng shì yǒu yí gè zhǔ cì zhī fēn de ， dàn zhè ge qū bié ， zhǐ yǒu zì jǐ qīng chǔ ， wài rén gēn běn jiù wú fǎ kàn chū 。
难怪红发老者会有这样的想法，对于修炼第二元婴秘术的修仙者〖体〗内元婴是有一个主次之分的，但这个区别，只有自己清楚，外人根本就无法看出。
"Haha, what is this? Is this trash his main treasure?"
dàn tā yě méi yǒu zài zhè ge wèn tí shàng shēn jiū xià qù ， bù guǎn duì fāng shì yīn wèi shén me yuán yīn méi yǒu zhǎo dào qū tǐ ， qū qū yí gè yuán yīng zhī tǐ ” yǔ zì jǐ wán quán bú shì yí gè céng cì dì 。
但他也没有在这个问题上深究下去，不管对方是因为什么原因没有找到躯体，区区一个元婴之体”与自己完全不是一个层次地。
"Haha, Second Brother, you shouldn't say such things. This thing isn't worth a mention to us, but for this senior, it might be something he struggled hard to obtain," another cultivator's voice echoed, the tone sharp and cutting, emphasizing "senior" with disdain.
bù guò tā yě méi yǒu jí zhe dòng shǒu ” zhè lǎo jiā huǒ zuò shì shì fēi jǐn shèn dì ， jué dìng xiān tào yī tào lín xuān de dǐ xì 。
不过他也没有急着动手”这老家伙做事是非谨慎地，决定先套一套林轩的底细。
Other voices followed, as if treating Lin Xuan like a clown.
“ dào yǒu shì nǎ yī mén pài de xiū xiān zhě ， zhè lǐ shì nǐ men de zǒng duò ？”
“道友是哪一门派的修仙者，这里是你们的总舵？”
It wasn't surprising that these dantian stage cultivators were so arrogant. They had numbers on their side and an elder backing them up. Even if they fought alone, even at the Separation and Union stage, without physical form, a mere dantian body against theirs was still uncertain. What to fear?

“是”那又如何？”，林轩冷冷的端“呵呵，老夫也看中了这块风水宝地，你若是愿意让出来，我可以放过你贵派到弟子，全部平安离去，老夫是有好生之德地。”，红发老者扬起头颅，语气中带着高傲之色，仿佛这么做是对林轩的一种施舍。
Cultivators generally bullied the weak and feared the strong; such opportunities to openly mock senior cultivators were rare, so they must be seized.

“是么？”林轩笑了，然而嘴角边满是讥嘲之色：“我想道友有一件事情，并没有弄清楚。”，“什么？”，红发老者隐隐觉得有些不妥却又想不出是为什么。
The red-haired elder was taken aback but laughed silently. The other party's boasts were huge, yet it turned out to be a pillowcase filled with straw. Did he dare show such a trivial object?

“究竟谁是猎人，谁是猎物？”，林轩话音未落突然伸出手来，在后脑轻轻一拍，一道青霞，从他的嘴巴里面，飞掠出来，随后光芒收敛，一件式样其他的宝物，出现在了众人的面前。
Perhaps he had no better treasures left; after all, having only his dantian body indicated that his physical form was destroyed, and the loss of artifacts and storage bags was normal.

Lin Xuan was indeed at a critical juncture in his cultivation. The path of immortality became increasingly difficult the deeper one delved into it, and breaking through bottlenecks required more time and effort.
Taking Lin Xuan's current situation as an example, the transition from the mid-stage to late stage of Separation and Union took no less than ten days or a fortnight; yet he had only spent a day and a night since taking his medicine and meditating.
In other words, even if everything went smoothly for him, there was still a long way to go before he could emerge from seclusion. Ten days or so would be too late, as the green vegetable would have rotted by then, and Black Wind Island might well change hands.
Lin Xuan knew nothing of these events at this moment. His cultivation progress was going well; three types of pills had sequentially opened in his dantian, their medicinal power flowing through his meridians like a river to the limbs...
Suddenly, a flash of fire flew into the room. This was a transmission talisman Lin Xuan specially gave to his beloved disciple, as it bore his spiritual consciousness mark and could penetrate even the outer prohibitions of his cave.
Although Lin Xuan was deeply focused on breaking through his bottleneck, he wasn't oblivious to his surroundings. With his cautious nature, he kept a fragment of his spirit awareness outside even during such moments.
Upon discovering the transmission talisman, Lin Xuan's brows twitched slightly, but his posture didn't change. He had invested great effort in this attempt; he wouldn't back down now. A second dantian body had already emerged from the outer world.
Beside the cave entrance stood a beautiful young woman named Shangguan Yan, her face filled with anxiety. Although she was compelled to disturb her master's cultivation, it still felt wrong. She wondered if her master would be angry at her.
Just as she pondered this, thunderous sounds echoed in her ears—indicating the stone door of the cave had opened.
Shangguan Yan quickly raised her head but saw no familiar figure; instead, a tiny dantian body appeared.
Master's second dantian body!
Shangguan Yan's heart skipped a beat. Her master hadn't emerged from seclusion; he merely sent his second dantian out. This must be a critical juncture in cultivation.
With this thought, the young woman felt increasingly uneasy but stepped forward bravely.
"Master, I have come to see you."
Even though it was her master's second dantian body, she still showed great respect, just as she did when facing Lin Xuan before.
"Disciple, you've disturbed my cultivation. You are guilty of a thousand deaths, but the situation is such that," "It doesn't matter; I understand." Lin Xuan said expressionlessly. "This isn't your fault. Lead the way and show me who dares to be so reckless."
Shangguan Yan's face showed some hesitation.
"Master, are you worried about not being able to handle them?"
Lin Xuan was a man of great intelligence; he could see from his disciple's eyes what she feared.
"I apologize for my master. I have no doubt about your strength, but now that you're at this critical juncture, you can only manifest your second dantian body. The other side is an entire sect and even a late-stage Separation and Union elder," Shangguan Yan stammered.
These were the truth, but saying them out loud was somewhat disrespectful to her master.
Lin Xuan smiled without speaking. He wasn't someone who valued face over life; he acted based on facts. His disciple's concerns weren't unfounded, but he couldn't be judged by common sense.
"Girl, don't worry. I have full confidence in this situation. Lead the way."
"Yes, Master."
Since Lin Xuan had said so much, Shangguan Yan didn't dare to argue further; otherwise, she would be committing a grave offense against her master and ancestor.
She bowed and transformed into a streak of light, flying forward. Lin Xuan followed closely behind.
Unlike the Separation and Union stage, where an inner dantian body was quite stable but lacked physical form, its power was greatly diminished. Lin Xuan's second dantian body coming out to fight was indeed audacious.
As they say, those who haven't eaten pork can still watch pigs run; most disciples of the Hundred Grass Sect understood this principle well. Thus, when they saw Lin Xuan's dantian body, their eyes widened in shock.
"Senior, you..."
Shangguan Mudouyu covered her mouth and couldn't even speak clearly.
"Do not be alarmed, this is merely my second dantian body." Lin Xuan seemed very casual as he waved his hand. A layer of green light enveloped the dantian body, which flew out with a nonchalant attitude.
"Subservient."
Shangguan sisters were taken aback but immediately decided to follow closely behind. However, Lin Xuan's voice stopped them: "Yan'er and Ling'er, stay here and watch as I break through their defenses."
"Yes."
Since Lin Xuan said so, the two girls didn't dare disobey and stopped.
"Stop."
Outside, the uninvited guests noticed something was amiss. The red-haired elder shouted sharply, halting all attacks in unison.
This action revealed a hint of what was happening: they were from the same sect and excelled at coordination; otherwise, such precision wouldn't be possible.
The red-haired elder flashed past to stand before Lin Xuan, his gaze scanning him with a look of surprise on his face.
A Separation and Union stage cultivator, even at the top of mid-stage, should have two dantian bodies. Why hadn't he taken over? Was it because he couldn't find an appropriate body?
This was why the red-haired elder had such thoughts. For cultivators who mastered the secret technique to manifest a second dantian body, there was a primary and secondary distinction, but outsiders couldn't discern this.
However, he didn't delve deeper into the matter. Regardless of the reason, a mere dantian body wasn't on his level.
But he didn't rush to act; this old fellow was cautious. He decided to probe Lin Xuan's situation first.
"Which sect are you from, and is this your main base?"
"Yes, so what?" Lin Xuan replied coldly.
"Haha, I've also set my eyes on this风水宝地. If you're willing to give it up, I can let all of your disciples go in peace," the red-haired elder said proudly, as if offering a favor.
"Is that so?" Lin Xuan smiled but his lips curled with mockery: "I think there's something you haven't understood."
"What is it?"
The red-haired elder felt uneasy but couldn't pinpoint why.
"Who is the hunter and who is the prey?"
Lin Xuan suddenly reached behind his head, lightly tapping it. A flash of green light shot from his mouth, then vanished as a peculiar object appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was a tower-shaped artifact with seven layers; although not in shambles, it lacked any striking features.
Originally, Lin Xuan had boasted so much that even the red-haired elder thought he would reveal some powerful treasure. But seeing this implement, they were all stunned and exchanged glances with the other cultivators below.
"Haha, what is this? Is this trash his main treasure?"
"Haha, Second Brother, you shouldn't say such things. This thing isn't worth a mention to us, but for this senior, it might be something he struggled hard to obtain," another cultivator's voice echoed, the tone sharp and cutting, emphasizing "senior" with disdain.
Other voices followed, as if treating Lin Xuan like a clown.
It wasn't surprising that these dantian stage cultivators were so arrogant. They had numbers on their side and an elder backing them up. Even if they fought alone, even at the Separation and Union stage, without physical form, a mere dantian body against theirs was still uncertain. What to fear?
Cultivators generally bullied the weak and feared the strong; such opportunities to openly mock senior cultivators were rare, so they must be seized.
The red-haired elder was taken aback but laughed silently. The other party's boasts were huge, yet it turned out to be a pillowcase filled with straw. Did he dare show such a trivial object?
