gāng gāng de gōng jī kàn shì zhǐ yǒu liǎng gè huí hé ， dàn shuí yòu zhī dào lín xuān zài chū shǒu qián ， zuò le hěn duō shǎo zhǔn bèi yǔ jiǎ shè ， ruò bú shì liào dí xiān jī ， jiāng duì fāng měi yī bù kě néng de fǎn yìng ， quán dōu suàn jì jìn qù ， jiù suàn zǒu chū qí bù yì de tōu xí ， xiǎng yào miè shā yī dòng xuán jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， yě jī hū shì bù kě néng de 。
刚刚的攻击看似只有两个回合，但谁又知道林轩在出手前，做了很多少准备与假设，若不是料敌先机，将对方每一步可能的反应，全都算计进去，就算走出其不意的偷袭，想要灭杀一洞玄级别的修仙者，也几乎是不可能的。
The attack seemed to last only two rounds, but who knew how much preparation and assumption Lin Xuan had done before making his move. If not for the advantage of anticipating the opponent's every possible reaction, it would have been almost impossible to successfully eliminate a cultivator at the Profound Void stage.
lín xuān zhè kàn shì fēng guāng de bèi hòu ， qí shí shì láo xīn láo lì de jié guǒ 。
林轩这看似风光的背后，其实是劳心劳力的结果。
Behind this seemingly glorious victory lay Lin Xuan’s hard work and mental strain.
fǒu zé ruò zhǐ shì shāng dí ， ér bù néng jiāng qí miè qù ， nà jiē xià lái ， kěn dìng huì xiàn rù yī cháng kǔ zhàn wú yú 。
否则若只是伤敌，而不能将其灭去，那接下来，肯定会陷入一场苦战无虞。
Otherwise, if he could only injure the enemy without completely eliminating them, he would surely be plunged into a bitter battle. Although Lin Xuan believed that with his strength, he would ultimately win, the struggle between two Profound Void cultivators was no small matter. The current location was just underground for several hundred feet; as the fight continued, this place would inevitably be exposed.
suī rán lín xuān xiāng xìn ， píng zì jǐ de shí lì ， zuì hòu yíng méi yǒu wèn tí ， dàn liǎng míng dòng xuán jí bié de zhēng dòu ， nà shēng shì shì hé děng de fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yǎn qián de lì shēn zhī suǒ ， bù guò shì dì xià shù bǎi zhàng bà le ， nà me suí zhe dòu fǎ ， cǐ chù kěn dìng huì bào lù 。
虽然林轩相信，凭自己的实力，最后赢没有问题，但两名洞玄级别的争斗，那声势是何等的非同小可，眼前的立身之所，不过是地下数百丈罢了，那么随着斗法，此处肯定会暴露。
This was something Lin Xuan did not want to see. He had taken advantage of the situation by tying up the cicada and luring the sparrow, only to end up with a significant benefit from an unexpected crisis. He didn't wish for any benefits to be shared with others.
zhè jué duì shì lín xuān bù yuàn yì kàn jiàn de 。
这绝对是林轩不愿意看见的。
Fortunately, his calculations had led to a satisfactory outcome. After eliminating the gaunt old man, Lin Xuan did not show any signs of relief. Instead, he closed his eyes and released his immensely powerful divine consciousness, sweeping around the area without missing any corner.
chēng bǎng shāo chán ， huáng què zài hòu ， zhè cì yì wài de juǎn rù wēi jī ， jié guǒ què néng ràng zì jǐ zhàn dà biàn yí ， tā kě bù xī wàng hǎo chù bèi bié rén gěi fēn qù 。
撑绑捎蝉，黄雀在后，这次意外的卷入危机，结果却能让自己占大便宜，他可不希望好处被别人给分去。
There was no discovery, but Lin Xuan still wasn't satisfied. He lifted his head, silver light flaring in his eyes as he deployed the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye once more.
hǎo zài yī fān suàn jì ， zǒng suàn shì yǒu le lìng rén mǎn yì de jié jú 。
好在一番算计，总算是有了令人满意的结局。
He did this for a purpose. The cultivation world had many miraculous techniques, and Lin Xuan would never be arrogant enough to underestimate cultivators from all over. At that critical moment, he could pretend to be a tiger eating grass, using a瞒天过海strategy; others could do the same.
jiāng gān shòu lǎo zhě miè chú yǐ hòu ， lín xuān liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu lù chū qīng sōng zhī sè ， ér shì bì shàng shuāng mù ， jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén shí fàng chū ， zài zhè fù jìn lái huí sǎo shè ， rèn hé yí gè jiǎo luò yě bù fàng guò 。
将干瘦老者灭除以后，林轩脸上并没有露出轻松之色，而是闭上双目，将强大以极的神识放出，在这附近来回扫射，任何一个角落也不放过。
Therefore, even though it seemed like all strong enemies had been eliminated, Lin Xuan still planned to be cautious. He used his divine consciousness and Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye repeatedly to ensure there were no hidden cultivators nearby. He did not want to suffer the same fate as the gaunt old man—being ambushed when he was at his peak.
sī háo fā xiàn yě wú ， lín xuān jū rán hái bù shàn bà gān xiū ， ér shì tái qǐ tóu ， yǎn zhōng yín máng dà qǐ ， yòu jiāng tiān fèng shén mù shī zhǎn le chū qù 。
丝毫发现也无，林轩居然还不善罢甘休，而是抬起头，眼中银芒大起，又将天凤神目施展了出去。
Though the possibility of someone hiding was negligible, Lin Xuan remained vigilant for a whole tea time before the silver light in his eyes dimmed.
ér tā zhī suǒ yǐ zhè me zuò ， dāng rán shì yǒu mù dì de 。
而他之所以这么做，当然是有目的的。
No one was hiding around him.
xiū xiān jiè shén qí de gōng fǎ zhòng duō ， lín xuān cóng bù huì kuáng wàng zì dà ， jiù xiǎo shì le tiān xià de xiū xiān zhě ， zài nà qiān gōu yī fā zhī jì ， zì jǐ kě yǐ bàn zhū chī hǔ ， shī zhǎn mán tiān guò hǎi zhī cè ， nà bié rén yě shì tóng yàng kě yǐ de 。
修仙界神奇的功法众多，林轩从不会狂妄自大，就小视了天下的修仙者，在那千钩一发之际，自己可以扮诸吃虎，施展瞒天过海之策，那别人也是同样可以的。
Other supernatural abilities aside, Lin Xuan had full confidence in his divine consciousness and Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye. Even if ordinary cultivators tried to sneak past him, they would be no match.
gù ér yǎn qián kàn shì yǐ jīng miè shā le quán bù de qiáng dí ， lín xuān hái shì dǎ suàn xiǎo xīn yī xiē ， jiē lián yòng shén shí yǔ tiān fēng shén mù ， yǐ què dìng fù jìn yǒu méi yǒu yǐn nì de xiū xiān zhě ， tā kě bù xī wàng rú gān shòu lǎo zhě yì bān ， zài zuì dé yì de shí hòu ， bèi tōu xí ， yī xià zi cóng tiān táng diē dào dì yù 。
故而眼前看似已经灭杀了全部的强敌，林轩还是打算小心一些，接连用神识与天风神目，以确定附近有没有隐匿的修仙者，他可不希望如干瘦老者一般，在最得意的时候，被偷袭，一下子从天堂跌到地狱。
Since there were no other cultivators, Lin Xuan did not linger any longer. In such a place of conflict, who would willingly stay? He flicked his sleeves, sending out a streak of green light that collected the scattered storage bags on the ground. There was no problem for him to carry them away.
gù ér yǒu rén yǐn nì de kě néng xìng suī rán xiǎo dé kě yǐ hū lüè bù jì ， lín xuān hái shì méi yǒu fēn háo dà yì ， zú zú guò le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， tā yǎn zhōng de yín máng cái àn dàn le xià qù 。
故而有人隐匿的可能性虽然小得可以忽略不计，林轩还是没有分毫大意，足足过了一盏茶的功夫，他眼中的银芒才黯淡了下去。
Storage bags could not contain other storage bags, but his Fiery Ash Bag could because it involved more advanced spatial techniques. Even with Lin Xuan’s composure, he couldn’t hide his joy at this moment. After all, the wealth of over a hundred high-ranking cultivators was incredibly exciting to think about. The treasures from the auction, including the array flags for the Five Elements Spirit Array, had all fallen into his hands.
sì zhōu bìng méi yǒu rén yǐn nì 。
四周并没有人隐匿。
Although Lin Xuan was already wealthy, in cultivation, resources were everything. No one would complain about having too many treasures; the more he possessed, the higher his chances of success.
qí tā shén tōng zàn qiě bù tí ， duì yú zì jǐ de shén shí qiáng dù ， hái yǒu tiān fèng shén mù ， lín xuān hái shì xìn xīn shí zú ， bié shuō pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn hǎi zú liù wáng jí bié de cún zài lái dào cǐ chù ， yě xiū xiǎng cóng zì jǐ yǎn qián mán tiān guò hǎi de 。
其他神通暂且不提，对于自己的神识强度，还有天凤神目，林轩还是信心十足，别说普通的修仙者，就算海族六王级别的存在来到此处，也休想从自己眼前瞒天过海的。
After gathering up all the storage bags, Lin Xuan was about to fly away when a sudden movement caught his attention. He went to where Old Master Mo had fallen.
jì rán méi yǒu qí tā xiū xiān zhě ， nà lín xuān dāng rán bú huì zài zhè lǐ dān gē ， suǒ wèi yè cháng mèng duō ， zhè zhǒng shì fēi zhī dì ， zhǐ yào bú shì wàn bù dé yǐ ， shuí yuàn yì shǎ shǒu hū de dòu liú xià qù 。
既然没有其他修仙者，那林轩当然不会在这里耽搁，所谓夜长梦多，这种是非之地，只要不是万不得已，谁愿意傻手乎的逗留下去。
He raised his right hand and gently hooked with his fingers. A palm-sized black object flew into his palm. Although he had not used Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire to refine the opponent's corpse, the flames he emitted were still formidable enough to reduce ordinary treasures to ashes. This item’s preservation was unexpected.
xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào qīng sè de guāng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， jiāng sàn luò zài dì shàng de chǔ wù dài chóng xīn shōu jí ， lín xuān kě bù cún zài nán yǐ dài zǒu de wèn tí 。
袖袍一拂，一道青色的光霞飞掠而出，将散落在地上的储物袋重新收集，林轩可不存在难以带走的问题。
Could it be a special treasure?
chǔ wù dài shì bù kě yǐ zhuāng chǔ wù dài dì ， rán ér tā de xū yán dài kě yǐ ， yīn wèi qí shè jí de kōng jiān shén tōng ， míng xiǎn yào gèng jiā de gāo jí 。
储物袋是不可以装储物袋地，然而他的须炎袋可以，因为其涉及的空间神通，明显要更加的高级。
Lin Xuan scanned it and saw that it was like black leather with small characters written on it. He didn’t bother to identify them at the moment; he would deal with it later. He tossed it into his Fiery Ash Bag.
jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， liǎn shàng yě mǎn shì xǐ sè 。
即便以林轩的城府，此时此刻，脸上也满是喜色。
Next, Lin Xuan released his divine consciousness one last time to ensure no treasures were overlooked. Then, a green glow enveloped him as he transformed into a streak of lightning and flew down the stone steps toward the surface.
bì jìng shàng qiān gāo jiē xiū shì de shēn jiā ， guāng shì xiǎng xiǎng ， jiù hěn lìng rén jī dòng le ， hái yǒu zhè cì pāi mài huì shàng de suǒ yǒu bǎo wù ， bāo kuò nà tào wǔ xíng yùn líng zhèn de zhèn qí ， dōu luò rù le zì jǐ dào shǒu zhōng 。
毕竟上千高阶修士的身家，光是想想，就很令人激动了，还有这次拍卖会上的所有宝物，包括那套五行蕴灵阵的阵旗，都落入了自己到手中。
After exiting through the entrance, Lin Xuan did not rush out of the market district; doing so would draw attention. Although the exit was in front of a shop, his concealment techniques were too advanced for several Foundation Establishment and Core Condensation stage cultivators to spot him even if they faced him directly.
suī rán lín xuān yuán běn jiù shēn jiā fēng hòu ， dàn xiū xiān xiū xiān ， pīn de jiù shì zī yuán ， méi yǒu nǎ yī míng xiū shì ， huì xián qì cái huò tài duō ， yōng yǒu yuè duō de bǎo wù ， jìn jí chéng gōng de jī lǜ ， xiāng duì lái shuō ， kěn dìng yě shì yuè dà de 。
虽然林轩原本就身家丰厚，但修仙修仙，拼的就是资源，没有哪一名修士，会嫌弃财货太多，拥有越多的宝物，晋级成功的几率，相对来说，肯定也是越大的。
Lin Xuan left the shop unnoticed, blending into the crowd on the street. To avoid drawing attention, he further lowered his cultivation level; he appeared only at the middle stage of Core Condensation. With his plain appearance, he would not stand out in a crowd.
jiāng chǔ wù dài quán dōu shōu hǎo yǐ hòu ， lín xuān zhèng yù chōu shēn fēi zǒu ， tū rán méi shāo yī dòng ， lái dào le gāng gāng mò lǎo yǔn luò de dì diǎn 。
将储物袋全都收好以后，林轩正欲抽身飞走，突然眉梢一动，来到了刚刚墨老陨落的地点。
Who knew that he was actually the sole survivor of the auction?
rán hòu yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， zhǐ tou qīng qīng yī gōu ， sōu ， yī jiàn bā zhǎng dà xiǎo ， hēi hū hū de shì tè ， jiù fēi dào le tā de zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
然后右手抬起，指头轻轻一勾，嗖，一件巴掌大小，黑乎乎的事特，就飞到了他的掌心之中。
Of course, Lin Xuan did not plan to linger in the market district. He needed to leave as soon as possible. After a tea time, Lin Xuan arrived at the exit of the market district. With the dense flow of people, many cultivators came and went. A middle-stage Core Condensation cultivator leaving would go unnoticed.
gāng gāng jiāng duì fāng shī tǐ liàn huà wèi xū wú ， lín xuān suī rán méi yǒu dòng yòng huàn líng tiān huǒ ， dàn suǒ dàn chū de pó huǒ ， wēi néng yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yì bān de bǎo wù ， yě néng qīng yì rán wèi le huī jìn de ， zhè dōng xī jū rán néng bǎo cún zhe ， shí zài yǒu xiē chū hū tā yì liào de 。
刚刚将对方尸体炼化为虚无，林轩虽然没有动用幻灵天火，但所弹出的婆火，威能也非同小可，一般的宝物，也能轻易燃为了灰烬的，这东西居然能保存着，实在有些出乎他意料的。
After traveling for a long distance from the market district, Lin Xuan no longer concealed his cultivation level. With his current strength, his speed was incredibly fast. Occasionally meeting some cultivators, they could not even see him as he passed by, vanishing without a trace before their eyes. The sound of air friction followed.
nán dào shì shén me tè bié de bǎo wù ？
难道是什么特别的宝物？
These cultivators were greatly alarmed. Those with lower cultivation levels thought it was a ghost appearing in broad daylight, while those with higher cultivation levels knew an elder had passed through. Regardless of what they thought, none dared to interfere and hurriedly fled the scene.
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， zhǐ jiàn shì hēi hū hū ， lèi sì shòu pí yàng de dōng xī ， shàng miàn sì hū hái xiě dé yǒu xiǎo zì ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā yě lǎn de qù biàn shí 。
林轩目光扫过，只见是黑乎乎，类似兽皮样的东西，上面似乎还写得有小字，不过此时此刻，他也懒得去辨识。
A few days later, Lin Xuan entered the chaotic sea region. He could sense that the atmosphere was different from usual; cultivators seemed to be coming and going in a hurry. Surprisingly, the number of killings and treasure snatchings had decreased significantly. Occasionally, he saw law enforcement cultivators wearing clothes from Nine Immortals Palace patrolling on the surface.
yǐ hòu zài shuō ， shǒu yī dǒu ， jiù jiāng qí shōu rù yāo jiān de xū yán dài lǐ 。
以后再说，手一抖，就将其收入腰间的须炎袋里。
Lin Xuan’s expression turned thoughtful. This was far from what he had expected. He originally thought that the chaotic sea region would become even more dangerous, but now it seemed to be the opposite.
suí hòu lín xuān zuì hòu yī cì jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， què dìng méi yǒu yí lòu rèn hé bǎo wù ， jǐn jiē zhe hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， yán zhe shí jiē xiàng dì biǎo fēi qù 。
随后林轩最后一次将神识放出，确定没有遗漏任何宝物，紧接着浑身青芒大起，化为一道惊虹，沿着石阶像地表飞去。
If his guess was correct, this change must have been brought about by Nine Immortals Palace. In such a critical period, their actions were undoubtedly the right choice.
cóng rù kǒu chū lái yǐ hòu ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu jí hǒu hǒu de cóng fāng shì lí kāi ， nà yàng fǎn ér yǐn rén zhù mù le xiē 。
从入口出来以后，林轩并没有急吼吼的从坊市离开，那样反而引人注目了些。
However, this did not concern him much. Lin Xuan’s transformed streak of lightning continued its rapid flight toward Black Wind Island.
The attack seemed to last only two rounds, but who knew how much preparation and assumption Lin Xuan had done before making his move. If not for the advantage of anticipating the opponent's every possible reaction, it would have been almost impossible to successfully eliminate a cultivator at the Profound Void stage.
