lǔ shuǐ diǎn dòu fǔ ， yī wù xiáng yī wù ， duì fù yě shòu xíng jié de yāo zú …… xiǎo máo qiú shì wú wǎng ér bù lì de 。
卤水点豆腐，一物降一物，对付野兽形杰的妖族……小毛球是无往而不利的。
Boiling tofu with brine—each thing can suppress another. Against the妖族 in the form of Wildform杰… Little Furball was a surefire solution.
nà yāo dān sī háo fǎn kàng zhī lì yě wú 。 bèi shè dào xī de miàn qián lái le 。
那妖丹丝毫反抗之力也无。被摄到牺的面前来了。
That demon essence offered no resistance as it was drawn before Xi's gaze.
guāng yùn tūn tǔ ， kàn shàng qù pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn yòu rén zhī chù 。
光韵吞吐，看上去颇有几分诱人之处。
The light shimmered, appearing quite tempting to look at.
xiǎo máo qiú de liǎn shàng lù chū chuí xián yù dī zhī sè ， shǒu zhǎo yī wǔ ， yī jīng yíng tī tòu de yāo hún bèi cóng lǐ miàn lā chū 。
小毛球的脸上露出垂涎欲滴之色，手爪一舞，一晶莹剔透的妖魂被从里面拉出。
Little Furball's face showed a drooling expression, and with a flick of its claws, a crystal-clear demon soul was pulled out from within.
zhāng kāi zuǐ bā 。 lù chū liǎng kē xiǎo hǔ yá ， rán hòu yī kǒu jiāng yāo hún tūn luò rù dù 。
张开嘴巴。露出两颗小虎牙，然后一口将妖魂吞落入肚。
Opening its mouth, two small fangs appeared, then it swallowed the demon soul whole.
tūn yàn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xiǎo jiā huo méi yǒu xì jiáo màn yàn ， měi cì duì dài yāo hún dōu shì láng tūn hǔ yàn ， kàn shàng qù ， jiù xiàng yī tóu tān chī de xiǎo zhū a ！
吞咽的声音传入耳朵，小家伙没有细嚼慢咽，每次对待妖魂都是狼吞虎咽，看上去，就像一头贪吃的小猪啊！
The sound of swallowing reached Xi’s ears. The little creature didn’t chew slowly; each time it devoured a demon soul, it did so with gusto, much like a gluttonous pig!
suí hòu xiǎo máo qiú zā le zā zuǐ ， yòu yòng zhuǎ zi pāi le pāi dǔ zi ， hěn míng xiǎn xī chī bǎo la 。
随后小毛球咂了咂嘴，又用爪子拍了拍肚子，很明显牺吃饱啦。
Afterward, Little Furball licked its lips and patted its belly, clearly indicating that it was full.
“ bù cuò ， bù cuò 。
“不错，不错。
"Not bad, not bad."
lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qiāo mǎn yì dào jí chù 。 ér chī bǎo le de xiǎo jiā huo ， què dā lā zhe ěr duǒ ， lù chū yī fù shuì yǎn xīng sōng zhī sè 。
林轩以手抚额，脸上的表悄满意到极处。而吃饱了的小家伙，却耷拉着耳朵，露出一副睡眼惺忪之色。
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead, looking extremely satisfied. But the little creature, now content, drooped its ears, showing a drowsy expression.
jiàn le cǐ mù ， lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu 。 zhè xiǎo jiā huo ” bǐ zì jǐ hái néng gòu bàn zhū chī hǔ 。 rú guǒ bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， shuí néng xiāng xìn tā jǔ shǒu tóu zú ， jiù yòu miè shā le yī míng dòng xuán qī de lǎo guài wù 。
见了此幕，林轩摇了摇头。这小家伙”比自己还能够扮猪吃虎。如果不是亲眼目睹，谁能相信他举手投足，就又灭杀了一名洞玄期的老怪物。
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan shook his head. This little guy could even play the part of a pig to eat tigers. If it weren’t for witnessing it with his own eyes, who would believe that he had just dispatched another Cave Profound period monster with a single move?
shí zài shì tài lì hài le ， guān jiàn shì xiǎo jiā huo rén chù wú hài de biǎo qíng tài jù yǒu mí huò 。
实在是太厉害了，关键是小家伙人畜无害的表情太具有迷惑。
It was truly impressive, but the innocent and harmless expression made him too trusting.
jiù bù zhī dào miàn duì gèng gāo jí bié de yāo zú ， xī zhè yǒu xiá cī de lǐng yù hái yǒu méi yǒu xiào guǒ 。
就不知道面对更高级别的妖族，牺这有瑕疵的领域还有没有效果。
He wondered if this approach still worked against more advanced妖族.
yáo le yáo tóu ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū jǐ fēn zì wǒ jiě cháo zhī sè ， rú jīn xiǎng zhè xiē hái tài zǎo zi ， chē dào shān qián bì yǒu lù ， dāng wù zhī jí ， shì xiǎng bàn fǎ gǎn kuài jìn jí ， rú jīn yīn hún guǐ wù de wēi xié ， cái shì zuì jǐn pò dì ， rú guǒ zì jǐ néng gòu tū pò píng jǐng ， mài rù dào dòng xuán qī ， nà cái shì gāo zhěn wú yōu méi yǒu wèn tí 。
摇了摇头，林轩嘴角边露出几分自我解嘲之色，如今想这些还太早子，车到山前必有路，当务之急，是想办法赶快晋级，如今阴魂鬼物的威胁，才是最紧迫地，如果自己能够突破瓶颈，迈入到洞玄期，那才是高枕无忧没有问题。
Shaking his head, Lin Xuan revealed a self-deprecating smile. It was too early to think about such things; when the time came, there would always be a way. The pressing issue now was how to quickly advance in cultivation. The threat from ghostly and demonic entities was urgent. If he could break through his bottleneck and enter Cave Profound period, that would be worry-free.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， jiāng liè kōng zhēn rén de shī tǐ yǔ yāo dān dōu shōu rù dào le chǔ wù dài 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩袖袍一拂，将裂空真人的尸体与妖丹都收入到了储物袋。
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, storing the corpse of裂空真and the demon essence into his storage bag.
yào zhī dào zhè jiā huo 。 kě shì dòng xuán qī yāo zú ” bù lùn pí máo gǔ gé 。 jià zhí dōu fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 fāng shì zhōng dū méi yǒu mài de ， zhè yàng de hǎo dōng xī ， lín xuān zì rán méi yǒu fàng guò de dào lǐ 。
要知道这家伙。可是洞玄期妖族”不论皮毛骨骼。价值都非同小可。坊市中都没有卖的，这样的好东西，林轩自然没有放过的道理。
Knowing this fellow was a Cave Profound period妖族—his skin, fur, bones, all were invaluable. Such treasures weren’t sold in the market; it made no sense for Lin Xuan to let such a good thing go to waste.
làng fèi shì huì zhāo tiān qiǎn dì 。
浪费是会招天谴地。
Next, he flashed over to another side where countless ice blocks of palm size appeared before him, numbering in the tens of thousands.
suí hòu lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， lái dào le lìng yī biān ， yí gè gè bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de bīng kuài fú xiàn zài tā de miàn qián ” shù liàng jīng rén yǐ jí ， shǔ yǐ wàn jì 。
随后林轩身形一闪，来到了另一边，一个个巴掌大小的冰块浮现在他的面前”数量惊人以极，数以万计。
Inside each block was a black flying knife, frozen but still emitting demon energy through the icy surface. Clearly, this treasure hadn’t lost its spirit or power despite being trapped.
zài měi yí gè bīng kuài lǐ miàn ， dōu yǒu yī bǐng hēi sè de fēi dāo ， suī bèi dòng zhù ， dàn tòu guò hán bīng ， yī jiù kě yǐ kàn jiàn yāo qì jù jí ， xiǎn rán cǐ bǎo bìng méi yǒu yīn wèi bèi kùn ， jiù shī qù líng xìng fǎ lì 。
在每一个冰块里面，都有一柄黑色的飞刀，虽被冻住，但透过寒冰，依旧可以看见妖气聚集，显然此宝并没有因为被困，就失去灵性法力。
Lin Xuan’s face showed a thoughtful expression.
lín xuān jiàn le ” liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn chén yín zhī sè 。
林轩见了”脸上露出几分沉吟之色。
With his vast resources, ordinary treasures no longer caught his eye.
yǐ tā shēn jiā zhī fēng fù ， yì bān de bǎo wù zǎo jiù nán yǐ rù tā de fǎ yǎn le 。
以他身家之丰富，一般的宝物早就难以入他的法眼了。
But these Iron Feather Flea-Harvesting Knives were different. Lin Xuan was strangely drawn to them.
bù guò zhè tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo què yòu bù tóng ， lín xuān kàn zhe cǐ wù ， jū rán pēng rán xīn dòng 。
不过这铁羽飞蝗刀却又不同，林轩看着此物，居然怦然心动。
Just the sheer number of them was astonishing. With the remnants of裂空真’s demon energy still present, as long as he erased their mark, he should be able to use them.
bié de bù tí ， guāng shì zhè shù liàng jì chū qù ， jiù jīng rén wú bǐ 。
别的不提，光是这数量祭出去，就惊人无比。
With this thought, Lin Xuan waved his sleeve again, and a light halo enveloped the ice blocks. The cold air transformed into illusory Heaven Fire, full of essence qi, returning to his body.
shàng miàn suī rán cán cún zhe liè kōng zhēn rén de yāo qì ， dàn zhǐ yào mǒ chú qí yìn jì ， zì jǐ yīng gāi yě shì néng gòu yòng dì 。
上面虽然残存着裂空真人的妖气，但只要抹除其印记，自己应该也是能够用地。
The Iron Feather Flea-Harvesting Knives regained their freedom but with no master, they wouldn’t attack him. Instead, they floated in mid-air, continuously wailing and trembling as if having a bit of sentience.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ” lín xuān xiù páo yī fú 。 guāng xiá juǎn guò ， hán qì huán yuán chéng huàn líng tiān huǒ ， líng qì shí zú 。 fēi huí dào lín xuān de shēn tǐ lǐ le 。
心中如此想着”林轩袖袍一拂。光霞卷过，寒气还原成幻灵天火，灵气十足。飞回到林轩的身体里了。
"Not bad, not bad."
tiě yǔ fēi huáng dāo huī fù le 〖 zì 〗 yóu ， rán ér qí zhǔ rén yǐ rán yǔn luò ， xī men dāng rán bú huì zài duì lín xuān gōng jī shén me ” ér shì xuán fú zài bàn kōng ， bù tíng de āi míng chàn dǒu ， cǐ wù jìng fǎng fú yǒu jǐ fēn tōng líng de yì wèi le 。
铁羽飞蝗刀恢复了〖自〗由，然而其主人已然陨落，牺们当然不会再对林轩攻击什么”而是悬浮在半空，不停的哀鸣颤抖，此物竟仿佛有几分通灵的意味了。
Lin Xuan grew even more eager. He raised his right hand and shot out a spell.
“ bù cuò ， bù cuò 。”
“不错，不错。”
The air above trembled, ripples spreading like water waves. A large green hand materialized and swiftly descended to catch the knives.
lín xuān yuè fā de jiàn liè xīn xǐ le ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ” yī dào fǎ jué cóng zhǐ jiān 〖 jī 〗 shè chū qù 。
林轩越发的见猎心喜了，右手抬起”一道法诀从指尖〖激〗射出去。
After several movements, tens of thousands of flying knives were in the hand’s grasp. This wasn’t strange; with no one controlling them after their master’s death, they posed no further threat.
tóu dǐng shàng kōng yī zhèn chàn dǒu ， kōng qì rú bō wén bān dàng yàng kāi lái ， yī bì guāng lín lín de dà shǒu fú xiàn 。 suí hòu yě bù chí yí ， shǎn diàn bān de xiàng xià lāo qù 。
头顶上空一阵颤抖，空气如波纹般荡漾开来，一碧光粼粼的大手浮现。随后也不迟疑，闪电般的向下捞去。
Lin Xuan took out a storage bag and gathered these knives inside. He then affixed a禁制符篆 to seal it before putting it back on his waist.
jǐ gè qǐ luò ” shǔ yǐ wàn jì de fēi dāo yǐ luò rù le dà shǒu de zhǎng wò ， zhè méi shén me hào qí guài de ， zhǔ rén yǔn luò ， zhè bǎo wù suī rán líng xìng wèi shī ， dàn méi yǒu rén cāo kòng ， zì rán bú huì zài duì lín xuān de dòng zuò ， gòu chéng rèn zài de wēi xié le 。
几个起落”数以万计的飞刀已落入了大手的掌握，这没什么好奇怪的，主人陨落，这宝物虽然灵性未失，但没有人操控，自然不会再对林轩的动作，构成任再的威胁了。
After completing all this, Lin Xuan didn't waste any time. His body was enveloped in green light as he flew towards Black Wind Island.
lín xuān zhuān mén qǔ chū yí gè chǔ wù dài 。 jiāng xī men shōu luó 。 rán hòu yòu tiē shàng yī zhāng jìn zhì fú zhuàn ， zhè cái fàng huí yāo jiān qù le 。
林轩专门取出一个储物袋。将牺们收罗。然后又贴上一张禁制符篆，这才放回腰间去了。
A distance of tens of thousands of miles would be unattainable for ordinary people, but not a challenge for Lin Xuan.
zuò hǎo zhè yī qiè hòu ， lín xuān yě bù dān gē ， hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， xiàng hēi fēng dǎo de fāng xiàng fēi qù 。
做好这一切后，林轩也不耽搁，浑身青芒大起，像黑风岛的方向飞去。
Not much effort was needed before Black Wind Island came into view.
shù shí wàn lǐ de jù lí ， duì fán rén lái shuō ， yáo bù kě jí ， dàn jiù lín xuān de qíng kuàng ， què gēn běn jiù bù zhí yī tí 。
数十万里的距离，对凡人来说，遥不可及，但就林轩的情况，却根本就不值一提。
The sea was calm with occasional bird calls. Clearly, nothing unusual had happened during his absence. Lin Xuan flashed in and entered the island, deliberately avoiding detection by patrolling disciples. Though the protective array was activated, he used a command talisman to slip back into his cave without making a sound.
méi yǒu huā fèi duō jiǔ de gōng fu ， hēi fēng dǎo jiù yǐ rán lì lì zài mù 。
没有huā费多久的功夫，黑风岛就已然历历在目。
Overall, this outing went smoothly, but his second元婴 suffered significant energy loss. This thought made him grit his teeth.
dà hǎi píng jìng wú bō 。 bù shí yǒu hǎi niǎo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xiǎn rán zì jǐ lí kāi de zhè duàn shí jiān 。 bìng méi yǒu fā shēng rèn hé yì wài biàn gù ， lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ jìn rù le dǎo yǔ lǐ miàn ， tā kè yì yǐn cáng xíng jì ， méi yǒu jīng dòng xún luó de dì zǐ 。 hù pài dà zhèn suī rán kāi qǐ ， dàn tā zì rán yě yǒu lìng fú ， gù ér qiāo wú shēng xī de huí dào le zì jǐ de dòng fǔ 。
大海平静无波。不时有海鸟的声音传入耳朵，显然自己离开的这段时间。并没有发生任何意外变故，林轩身形一闪，已进入了岛屿里面，他刻意隐藏行迹，没有惊动巡逻的弟子。护派大阵虽然开启，但他自然也有令符，故而悄无声息的回到了自己的洞府。
But with the culprit dead and turned into a feast for Little Furball, Lin Xuan no longer harbored any resentment.
zhè cì wài chū ， zǒng de lái shuō ， hái suàn shùn lì ， rán ér dì èr yuán yīng ， què sǔn shāng le bù shǎo yuán qì ， xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān jiù hèn dé yá yǎng yǎng dì 。
这次外出，总的来说，还算顺利，然而第二元婴，却损伤了不少元气，想到这里，林轩就恨得牙痒痒地。
Without resting, he headed directly to the training room. He had urgent matters to attend to; after fighting a Cave Profound period cultivator alone, his second元婴 lost too much energy. Now, it needed proper rest and recuperation.
bù guò zuì kuí huò shǒu yǐ rán fú zhū ， zuò le měi cān ràng xiǎo máo qiú guǒ fù ， zì jǐ sì hū yě bù yòng zài jì hèn shén me 。
不过罪魁祸首已然伏诛，做了美餐让小毛球果腹，自己似乎也不用再忌恨什么。
Rest meant taking medicine and meditating.
lín xuān méi yǒu xiē xī ， ér shì zhí jiē lái dào liàn gōng fáng lǐ 。 tā yǒu jǐn pò de shì qíng yào zuò 。 dì èr yuán yīng dú dòu dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， sǔn shī de yuán qì tài duō 。 rú jīn pò qiè xū yào hǎo hǎo xiū yǎng yī fān de 。
林轩没有歇息，而是直接来到练功房里。他有紧迫的事情要做。第二元婴独斗洞玄期修仙者，损失的元气太多。如今迫切需要好好休养一番的。
Lin Xuan’s supply of medicinal pills was abundant due to his extensive experience in cultivation. He placed great importance on them, far surpassing other cultivators. His collection included various types—pills to enhance power, break through bottlenecks, heal injuries, restore energy…
suǒ wèi xiū yǎng ， wú wài fú yào dǎ zuò 。
所谓休养，无外服药打坐。
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and used the inner vision technique to check the condition of his second元婴. This process was quick. Then he opened his eyes and extended his hand, snapping his fingers to open three jade bottles.
ér lín xuān bié de bù shuō ， dān yào kě shì bìng bù huò quē shén me ， zhè yǔ tā de xiū xiān jīng lì dà yǒu guān xì ， lín xuān duì dān yào de zhòng shì chéng dù 。 yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ， shēn shàng de dān yào kě wèi zhǒng lèi fán duō ， zēng qiáng fǎ lì de ， tū pò píng jǐng de ， zhì liáo shāng shì de ， huī fù yuán qì de 。 shǔ bù shèng shǔ ……
而林轩别的不说，丹药可是并不或缺什么，这与他的修仙经历大有关系，林轩对丹药的重视程度。远远胜过一般的修仙者，身上的丹药可谓种类繁多，增强法力的，突破瓶颈的，治疗伤势的，恢复元气的。数不胜数……
Three pills slowly flew out from each bottle, enveloped in a light halo, landing beside him.
lín xuān pán xī ér zuò ， xiān shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù ， jiǎn chá le yī xià dì èr yuán yīng shāng shì rú hé ， zhè ge guò chéng tā hěn kuài jiù wán chéng le ， suí hòu lín xuān zhēng kāi shuāng mù ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， sān gè yù píng zài qīng guāng zhōng fú xiàn yú miàn qián 。
林轩盘膝而坐，先施展内视之术，检查了一下第二元婴伤势如何，这个过程他很快就完成了，随后林轩睁开双目，伸出手来，在腰间一拍，三个玉瓶在青光中浮现于面前。
The pills were round, about the size of a soybean, but their colors differed—red, pale yellow, and milky white.
qū zhǐ wēi dàn ， sān gè yù píng de píng sāi tóng shí bèi dǎ kāi 。 bù tóng de xiāng wèi ér cóng lǐ miàn piāo sàn chū lái 。
屈指微弹，三个玉瓶的瓶塞同时被打开。不同的香味儿从里面飘散出来。
If another cultivator had been here, they would have stared in amazement at Lin Xuan's extravagance. These three pills were rare treasures that could not be easily obtained even in the market or auctions, often attracting fierce competition from high-ranking cultivators.
suí hòu yě bú jiàn lín xuān duō yú de dòng zuò ， lǐ miàn jiù gè yǒu yī lì dān yào huǎn huǎn fēi chū lái le 。
随后也不见林轩多余的动作，里面就各有一粒丹药缓缓飞出来了。
For instance, this red正元丹 was a treasure to carefully preserve for emergencies.
bèi líng guāng bāo guǒ ， lái dào lín xuān de shēn cè ， sān lì dān yào ， dōu shì gǔn yuán xíng zhuàng de ， dà xiǎo yǔ cán dòu chà bu duō ， rán ér yán sè què bìng bù xiāng tóng ， fēn bié shì hóng sè ， dàn huáng sè ， hái yǒu rǔ bái sè sān zhǒng 。
被灵光包裹，来到林轩的身侧，三粒丹药，都是滚圆形状的，大小与蚕豆差不多，然而颜色却并不相同，分别是红色，淡黄色，还有乳白色三种。
Indeed, it was meant for survival. When a cultivator made a mistake during cultivation or suffered severe injuries, losing too much energy, the 正元丹 could potentially save their life.
rú guǒ yǒu bié de xiū shì lái dào zhè lǐ ， kěn dìng huì wèi lín xuān de shē chǐ chēng mù jié shé ， wú tā ， zhè sān zhǒng dān yào wú yī bú shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú zhī wù 。 ná dào fāng shì zhōng gēn běn jiù shì yǒu jià wú shì de 。 jí shǐ pāi mài huì shàng yě shù liàng bù duō ， huì yǐn lái gāo jiē xiū shì jī liè zhēng duó 。
如果有别的修士来到这里，肯定会为林轩的奢侈瞠目结舌，无他，这三种丹药无一不是可遇而不可求之物。拿到坊市中根本就是有价无市的。即使拍卖会上也数量不多，会引来高阶修士激烈争夺。
Ordinary people would never use them casually, and neither would Cave Profound period monsters, as this treasure was too precious.
bǐ rú shuō zhè hóng sè de zhèng yuán dān ， ruò yǒu xiū shì dé dào le ， kěn dìng shì jīng xīn shōu cáng ， yòng lái bǎo mìng de 。
比如说这红色的正元丹，若有修士得到了，肯定是精心收藏，用来保命的。
But at this moment, although his second元婴 had lost some energy, it wasn’t a matter of life or death; with more time spent in meditation, he could recover. Yet, Lin Xuan still took out such precious pills!
Boiling tofu with brine—each thing can suppress another. Against the妖族 in the form of Wildform杰… Little Furball was a surefire solution.
That demon essence offered no resistance as it was drawn before Xi's gaze.
The light shimmered, appearing quite tempting to look at.
Little Furball's face showed a drooling expression, and with a flick of its claws, a crystal-clear demon soul was pulled out from within.
"Meow."
Opening its mouth, two small fangs appeared, then it swallowed the demon soul whole.
The sound of swallowing reached Xi’s ears. The little creature didn’t chew slowly; each time it devoured a demon soul, it did so with gusto, much like a gluttonous pig!
Afterward, Little Furball licked its lips and patted its belly, clearly indicating that it was full.
"Not bad, not bad."
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead, looking extremely satisfied. But the little creature, now content, drooped its ears, showing a drowsy expression.

Knowing this fellow was a Cave Profound period妖族—his skin, fur, bones, all were invaluable. Such treasures weren’t sold in the market; it made no sense for Lin Xuan to let such a good thing go to waste.
Next, he flashed over to another side where countless ice blocks of palm size appeared before him, numbering in the tens of thousands.
Inside each block was a black flying knife, frozen but still emitting demon energy through the icy surface. Clearly, this treasure hadn’t lost its spirit or power despite being trapped.
Lin Xuan’s face showed a thoughtful expression.
With his vast resources, ordinary treasures no longer caught his eye.
But these Iron Feather Flea-Harvesting Knives were different. Lin Xuan was strangely drawn to them.
