jiāng yù tǒng ná zài shǒu lǐ ， xì xì shǎng wán le yī fān ， rán hòu lín xuān cái jiāng qí zhuāng rù le chǔ wù dài ， suí jí shǒu yī fān ， zhǎng xīn zhōng yòu duō chū le yī bái bái yuán yuán de shì wù lái 。
将玉筒拿在手里，细细赏玩了一番，然后林轩才将其装入了储物袋，随即手一翻，掌心中又多出了一白白圆圆的事物来。
Holding the jade cylinder in his hand, Lin Xuan carefully examined it before putting it away in a storage bag. Then, with a flip of his wrist, another small, round object appeared in his palm.
zhí jìng yuē yǒu bàn mǐ ， xiàng shì shén me dōng xī de dàn 。
直径约有半米，像是什么东西的蛋。
About half a meter in diameter, it resembled an egg.
líng shòu zhī luǎn ！
灵兽之卵！
A spirit beast's egg!
zhè yě shì zài tiān shā mó jūn dòng fǔ zhōng suǒ de ， lín xuān de yǎn zhōng lù chū yī sī xīng fèn de shén sè 。
这也是在天煞魔君洞府中所得，林轩的眼中露出一丝兴奋的神色。
This was also obtained from the den of Tyrant Demon Lord Heaven Saber. Lin Xuan's eyes gleamed with excitement.
xū zhī ， zài xiū zhēn jiè ， líng shòu luǎn kě shì zhēn guì yǐ jí ， jí shǐ yī jiē ， èr jiē de yě yǒu jià wú shì ， tōng cháng zhǐ yǒu mén pài cái néng yǒu bàn fǎ shōu gòu dào yī xiē 。
须知，在修真界，灵兽卵可是珍贵以极，即使一阶，二阶的也有价无市，通常只有门派才能有办法收购到一些。
It is known that in the cultivation world, spirit beast eggs are extremely precious; even those of first and second rank have no market for them. Usually, only sects can acquire some through their resources.
qí tā de yōng yǒu líng shòu zhī rén ， wú yī bú shì gāo jiē xiū shì 。
其他的拥有灵兽之人，无一不是高阶修士。
Other cultivators who possess spirit beasts are almost all high-ranking cultivators.
bì jìng yǒu le cǐ wù ， xiāng dāng yú zhàn dòu zhōng píng kōng duō le yí gè bāng shǒu ， bǐ líng qì ， fǎ bǎo hái hǎo shǐ 。
毕竟有了此物，相当于战斗中凭空多了一个帮手，比灵器，法宝还好使。
After all, possessing such an item means having a helper during battles, making it more effective than spiritual artifacts or magical treasures.
zhè yě shì shǎo shù zài fāng shì zhōng yǒu jīng shí yě mǎi bú dào de dōng xī 。
这也是少数在坊市中有晶石也买不到的东西。
This is also one of the few things that cannot be bought with crystal stones in the market.
ér yǐ tiān shā mó jūn zhī néng ， cǐ líng shòu luǎn xiǎng bì bú huì lìng zì jǐ shī wàng ， zhì shǎo yě huì shì èr jí shàng pǐn ， shèn zhì fū huà chū sān jí yāo shòu yě bú shì bù kě néng 。
而以天煞魔君之能，此灵兽卵想必不会令自己失望，至少也会是二级上品，甚至孵化出三级妖兽也不是不可能。
Considering Tyrant Demon Lord Heaven Saber's abilities, this spirit beast egg would likely not disappoint him. At minimum, it should be a second-grade upper-grade; even hatching into a third-stage monster was possible.
dāng rán ， jǐn cóng dàn shàng miàn shì kàn bù chū lái de ， chú fēi shì zhǎo zhuān mén de líng shòu shī jiàn dìng 。
当然，仅从蛋上面是看不出来的，除非是找专门的灵兽师鉴定。
Of course, just from looking at the egg, one couldn't tell for sure unless it was appraised by a specialized spirit beast master.
bù guò lín xuān kě méi yǒu zhè yàng de dǎ suàn ， yǐ tā de xīn jī ， qǐ huì bù qīng chǔ cái bù lù bái 。
不过林轩可没有这样的打算，以他的心机，岂会不清楚财不露白。
However, Lin Xuan had no such intention. With his cunning, how could he not understand that showing off wealth is unwise?
hé kuàng ， jiàn dìng líng shòu luǎn ， tōng cháng shì wèi le yào mài 。
何况，鉴定灵兽卵，通常是为了要卖。
Moreover, appraising spirit beast eggs usually meant wanting to sell them.
lín xuān kě bù quē qián ， bù zhī dào shì bú shì lǎo tiān yé yào gěi tā mó lì ， lín xuān de zhōu wéi cháng cháng chū xiàn wēi xiǎn ， zì cóng tà rù xiān dào yǐ lái ， zhèng què de shuō shì huò dé lán sè xīng hǎi hòu ， tā miè diào de xiū shì yī dà duī ， dé dào zhè xiē rén de chǔ wù dài ， lín xuān zì rán fù dé liú yóu 。
林轩可不缺钱，不知道是不是老天爷要给他磨砺，林轩的周围常常出现危险，自从踏入仙道以来，正确的说是获得蓝色星海后，他灭掉的修士一大堆，得到这些人的储物袋，林轩自然富得流油。
Lin Xuan wasn’t short of money; perhaps the heavens wanted to test him. Since entering the immortal path, and specifically after obtaining the Blue Star Sea, Lin Xuan had eliminated numerous cultivators, naturally accumulating great wealth from their storage bags.
cóng yī kāi shǐ ， zhè líng shòu luǎn tā jiù dǎ suàn zì yòng 。
从一开始，这灵兽卵他就打算自用。
From the start, he intended to use this spirit beast egg himself.
lüè yī chén yín ， lín xuān jiāng shòu luǎn fàng zài dì shàng ， rán hòu shuāng shǒu qiā jué ， dǎ chū jǐ dào fǎ yìn ， shòu luǎn dùn shí xuán fú qǐ lái ， bìng dī liū liū de kāi shǐ xuán zhuǎn 。
略一沉吟，林轩将兽卵放在地上，然后双手掐诀，打出几道法印，兽卵顿时悬浮起来，并滴溜溜的开始旋转。
After a moment's thought, Lin Xuan placed the beast egg on the ground. Then, with his hands forming seals, he cast several magical seals, causing the egg to levitate and spin in place.
rán hòu lín xuān bù huāng bù máng de gē pò shǒu zhǐ ， jǐ dī jīng xuè yì sàn ér chū 。 bìng xiàng yǒu shēng mìng yī yàng fēi dào shòu luǎn zhī shàng ， bái sè de guāng máng yī shǎn ， xiān xuè yǐ bèi tā xī shōu 。
然后林轩不慌不忙的割破手指，几滴精血逸散而出。并像有生命一样飞到兽卵之上，白色的光芒一闪，鲜血已被它吸收。
Next, Lin Xuan calmly cut his finger, allowing a few drops of blood to spill out. The blood flew towards the egg as if it had a life of its own, and a white light flashed; the blood was absorbed by the egg.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī xiào róng ， rèn zhǔ yí shì wán měi jié shù 。 zhè yě jiù shì shòu luǎn wèi shén me zhēn guì le ， yě shēng de chéng nián yāo shòu ， nǎ pà shì yī jí de 。 xiǎng yào jiāng qí xùn fú rèn zhǔ yě qiān nán wàn nán ， shǒu xiān yào jiāng qí dǎ bài 。 kě zhè jǐn jǐn shì dì yī bù ， jí shǐ zuò dào le yě bù yí dìng chéng gōng 。
林轩嘴角边露出一丝笑容，认主仪式完美结束。这也就是兽卵为什么珍贵了，野生的成年妖兽，哪怕是一级的。想要将其驯服认主也千难万难，首先要将其打败。可这仅仅是第一步，即使做到了也不一定成功。
Lin Xuan's lips curved into a smile. The spirit beast recognition ceremony was complete. This was also why spirit beast eggs were so valuable—wild adult monsters, even first-stage ones, were extremely difficult to tame and make recognize their masters. First, one had to defeat them. But that was just the beginning; even if they were defeated, success wasn't guaranteed.
yǐ qián jiù chū xiàn guò mǒu wèi níng dān qī gāo shǒu xīn xuè lái cháo ， shōu fù yī jí yāo shòu ， liǎng zhě shí lì xiāng chà xuán shū ， dǎ bài yāo shòu gù rán shì yì diǎn xuán niàn yě méi yǒu ， kě jiē xià lái fā shēng de yí mù ， què ràng nà wèi gāo shǒu chà diǎn tù xiě le 。
以前就出现过某位凝丹期高手心血来潮，收复一级妖兽，两者实力相差悬殊，打败妖兽固然是一点悬念也没有，可接下来发生的一幕，却让那位高手差点吐血了。
In the past, a condensation core cultivator had attempted to subdue a first-stage monster out of curiosity. Despite the vast difference in strength, defeating the monster posed no challenge. However, what happened next almost made the cultivator spit blood.
bèi zhì zhù de yāo shòu yǎn jiàn táo tuō wú wàng ， jìng rán xuǎn zé le zì bào 。
被制住的妖兽眼见逃脱无望，竟然选择了自爆。
The trapped monster, seeing escape impossible, chose self-destruction rather than submission. It preferred death over recognition as a master. This spirit beast's pride left cultivators vexed.
níng sǐ yě bù yuàn yì rèn zhǔ ， yāo shòu yě yǒu yāo shòu dì gǔ qì 。 zhè ràng xiū zhēn zhě men tóu téng bù yǐ 。
宁死也不愿意认主，妖兽也有妖兽地骨气。这让修真者们头疼不已。
Thus, while subduing monsters was easy, successfully taming them had low odds, which were more about luck than strength.
gù ér dǎ bài yāo shòu róng yì ， xiǎng yào shōu fù jī lǜ què hěn dī ， zhè yǔ shí lì méi yǒu guān xì ， gèng duō de shì yùn qì wèn tí 。
故而打败妖兽容易，想要收复几率却很低，这与实力没有关系，更多的是运气问题。
If one's luck was good, even a novice in the Flexible Spirit Period could obtain a first-stage monster pet. Conversely, if one’s luck was bad, an old-timer at the Core Formation Stage would be helpless against such low-grade monsters.
rú guǒ rén pǐn bào fā ， líng dòng qī cài niǎo yě yǒu kě néng huò dé yī jí yāo shòu chǒng wù 。 fǎn zhī ， rén pǐn bù hǎo de huà ， yuán yīng qī lǎo guài yě ná zhè zhǒng dī jiē yāo shòu méi zhé 。
如果人品爆发，灵动期菜鸟也有可能获得一级妖兽宠物。反之，人品不好的话，元婴期老怪也拿这种低阶妖兽没辙。
But spirit beast eggs didn't have this problem.
ér shòu luǎn jiù méi yǒu zhè ge wèn tí le 。
而兽卵就没有这个问题了。
Since the monster hadn’t hatched yet, there were no issues of resistance; it could easily recognize its master.
yāo shòu shàng wèi fū huà ， zì rán yě jiù bù cún zài fǎn kàng zhè zhǒng nán tí ， kě yǐ qīng yì rèn zhǔ chéng gōng 。
妖兽尚未孵化，自然也就不存在反抗这种难题，可以轻易认主成功。
This discovery brought joy to cultivators, but soon they couldn't smile anymore. The reason was simple: obtaining a spirit beast egg was extremely difficult!
zhè ge fā xiàn ràng xiū shì men xǐ yuè bù yǐ ， kě hěn kuài ， tā men jiù xiào bù chū lái le ， yuán yīn wú tā ， shòu luǎn hěn nán huò dé a ！
这个发现让修士们喜悦不已，可很快，他们就笑不出来了，原因无他，兽卵很难获得啊！
There were only two ways. One was finding the den of wild monsters.
tú jìng wú wài hū yǒu èr 。 yí gè shì zhǎo dào yě shēng yāo shòu de cháo xué 。
途径无外乎有二。一个是找到野生妖兽的巢穴。
People say that even tigers don’t eat their own cubs. Despite being more ferocious, spirit beasts still loved their offspring and would fight to the death to protect them, regardless of gender. However, once defeated, seeing they couldn't protect their young, these monsters would show their vicious side, preferring to destroy their eggs rather than fall into cultivators' hands.
rén shuō hǔ dú bù shí zi 。 yāo shòu suī rán gèng jiā xiōng cán ， dàn duì tā men hòu dài yī yàng shì shí fēn ài hù 。 bù lùn cí xióng ， dū huì pīn mìng bǎo hù shòu luǎn ， yǔ rén lèi xiū shì zuò shū sǐ bó dòu 。
人说虎毒不食子。妖兽虽然更加凶残，但对它们后代一样是十分爱护。不论雌雄，都会拼命保护兽卵，与人类修士做殊死搏斗。
Thus, this path was difficult.
kě yí dàn zhàn bài ， yǎn jiàn bǎo hù bù liǎo hòu dài ， zhè xiē yāo shòu jiù huì biǎo xiàn chū xiōng cán dì yí miàn ， qíng yuàn huǐ diào zì jǐ de shòu luǎn ， yě bù yuàn yì luò rù xiū zhēn zhě de shǒu zhōng 。
可一旦战败，眼见保护不了后代，这些妖兽就会表现出凶残地一面，情愿毁掉自己的兽卵，也不愿意落入修真者的手中。
The other way was from spirit beasts that had been tamed and then produced eggs. However, it seemed that once a monster was domesticated, its reproductive abilities significantly decreased; even if they did produce offspring, many of them might be dead…
suǒ yǐ zhè ge tú jìng hěn nán huò dé 。
所以这个途径很难获得。
Rare things are valuable, and the significant role of spirit beasts made unclaimed spirit beast eggs extremely expensive.
hái yǒu yí gè ， jiù shì bèi xùn fú hòu dì líng shòu suǒ chǎn de luǎn le ， rán ér bù zhī dào shì zěn me huí shì ， yāo shòu yí dàn bèi huàn yǎng yǐ hòu ， shēng yù néng lì jiù huì dà dà jiàng dī ， jí shǐ chǎn xià hòu dài ， yě hěn yǒu kě néng shì sǐ luǎn ……
还有一个，就是被驯服后地灵兽所产的卵了，然而不知道是怎么回事，妖兽一旦被豢养以后，生育能力就会大大降低，即使产下后代，也很有可能是死卵……
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment before extending his hand to summon the egg back.
wù yǐ xī wéi guì ， jiā shàng líng shòu zuò yòng běn lái jiù dà ， gù ér méi yǒu rèn zhǔ dì shòu luǎn yǐ bèi chǎo dào le tiān jià 。
物以稀为贵，加上灵兽作用本来就大，故而没有认主地兽卵已被炒到了天价。
He brought it into an empty stone room where he set up a small array.
lín xuān chén yín le yī xià ， shēn shǒu yī zhāo ， nà shòu luǎn jiù zì dòng fēi le huí lái 。
林轩沉吟了一下，伸手一招，那兽卵就自动飞了回来。
This array was incredibly simple; its only purpose was to guide the underground fire and gather surrounding essence qi. Normally, it had little use, but now it was perfect for incubating spirit beast eggs. After completing everything, Lin Xuan left.
lín xuān jiāng tā dài dào yī jiān kòng xián de shí shì lǐ miàn ， bù zhì xià le yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de zhèn fǎ 。
林轩将它带到一间空闲的石室里面，布置下了一个小小的阵法。
Originally, according to his intentions, after resting briefly, he should practice cultivation. This trip to Quinyi Mountain further highlighted his current inadequacies in strength.
zhè ge zhèn fǎ jiǎn dān yǐ jí ， jǐn jǐn shì néng gòu yǐn dǎo xià miàn de dì mài zhī huǒ yǔ jù jí zhōu wéi de líng qì ， píng shí méi yǒu duō dà de yòng chǔ ， bù guò xiàn zài yòng lái fū huà líng shòu luǎn shì zài hǎo bù guò 。 zuò hǎo zhè yī qiè hòu ， lín xuān jiù chū lái le 。
这个阵法简单以极，仅仅是能够引导下面的地脉之火与聚集周围的灵气，平时没有多大的用处，不过现在用来孵化灵兽卵是再好不过。做好这一切后，林轩就出来了。
In the cultivation world, power speaks louder than words; to live longer and more happily, one must continuously improve their realm.
yuán běn àn zhào tā de běn yì ， jiē xià lái shāo shì xiū xī ， jiù yīng gāi liàn gōng ， zhè yī cì kuí yīn shān mài zhī xíng gèng ràng tā tǐ huì dào le zì shēn shí lì de bù zú 。
原本按照他的本意，接下来稍事休息，就应该练功，这一次奎阴山脉之行更让他体会到了自身实力的不足。
Resting for a few days, then practicing Yin-Yang Technique, once proficient with the transformation of Yin-Yang essence qi, he could learn various secret techniques from The Profound Demon Scripture.
xiū zhēn jiè shì yǐ quán tou shuō huà de dì fāng ， xiǎng yào kuài lè dì huó dé gèng jiǔ ， jiù zhǐ yǒu ràng jìng jiè bù duàn de tí gāo 。
修真界是以拳头说话的地方，想要快乐地活得更久，就只有让境界不断的提高。
Then, in very little time, his cultivation would skyrocket.
xiū xī jǐ tiān ， jiù liàn xí yīn yáng jué ， dài zhǎng wò yīn yáng líng lì de zhuǎn huà zhī hòu ， jiù kě yǐ xué xí 《 xuán mó zhēn jīng 》 zhōng de zhǒng zhǒng mì shù 。
休息几天，就练习阴阳诀，待掌握阴阳灵力的转化之后，就可以学习《玄魔真经》中的种种秘术。
Initially, Lin Xuan thought so, but after careful consideration, he took out the array plate and flags.
nà yàng ， zhǐ xū yào hěn duǎn de shí jiān ， zì jǐ dì xiū wèi jiù kě yǐ kuáng zhǎng yī dà jié 。
那样，只需要很短的时间，自己地修为就可以狂涨一大截。
Times had changed; although Spirit Medicine Mountain appeared calm on the surface, it was precisely this lack of disturbance that made Lin Xuan more worried.
yuán běn ， lín xuān shì zhè me xiǎng de ， bù guò zài jīng guò yī fān zǐ xì sī liáng zhī hòu ， tā què jiāng zhèn pán ， zhèn qí ná le chū lái 。
原本，林轩是这么想的，不过在经过一番仔细思量之后，他却将阵盘，阵旗拿了出来。
According to logic, once rumors spread, even if those from the orthodox sects or evil sects didn’t believe them, they would still send disciples to investigate. But so much time had passed with no signs of activity—too abnormal!
jīn shí bù bǐ wǎng rì ， suī rán líng yào shān biǎo miàn píng jìng ， dàn zhèng shì zhè zhǒng méi yǒu rèn hé bō lán de jú miàn cái gèng ràng lín xuān dān xīn 。
今时不比往日，虽然灵药山表面平静，但正是这种没有任何波澜的局面才更让林轩担心。
Lin Xuan felt a bad omen in his heart.
àn lǐ shuō ， liú yán chuán chū qù yǐ hòu ， jiù suàn nà xiē zhèng dào kuí shǒu ， mó dào jù tóu men bù xìn ， kě duō shǎo yě huì yǒu yī liǎng fēn huái yí ， pài dì zǐ lái tàn xún yī xià shì hěn zhèng cháng de shì ， kě zhè me jiǔ guò qù le ， què yī sī dòng jìng yě méi yǒu 。
按理说，流言传出去以后，就算那些正道魁首，魔道巨头们不信，可多少也会有一两分怀疑，派弟子来探询一下是很正常的事，可这么久过去了，却一丝动静也没有。
Was this calm before the storm?
tài fǎn cháng le ！
太反常了！
Or perhaps the other side was secretly making moves that he hadn't noticed? How would the old fellows at Spirit Medicine Mountain handle it?
lín xuān xīn zhōng zǒng yǒu bù hǎo de yù gǎn 。
林轩心中总有不好的预感。
Many thoughts swirled through Lin Xuan's mind. Regardless, here wasn’t safe now, and he had too many secrets—whether it be the Blue Star Sea, The Nine Heavens Profound Scripture, Yin-Yang Technique, or even Lin'er’s existence… better not to let others know.
Holding the jade cylinder in his hand, Lin Xuan carefully examined it before putting it away in a storage bag. Then, with a flip of his wrist, another small, round object appeared in his palm.
About half a meter in diameter, it resembled an egg.
A spirit beast's egg!
This was also obtained from the den of Tyrant Demon Lord Heaven Saber. Lin Xuan's eyes gleamed with excitement.
It is known that in the cultivation world, spirit beast eggs are extremely precious; even those of first and second rank have no market for them. Usually, only sects can acquire some through their resources.
