第一千九百六十八章雪阳雷火晶
Chapter 1968: Snow Yang Thunder Fire Crystal
“ bù cuò ， nà xiē cái liào què shí zhēn xī ， bù guò yǐ shā yáng zōng de shí lì ， zhǐ yào yòng xīn qù zuò ， zú zú liǎng bǎi nián guò qù le ， wǒ xiǎng duō shǎo yě yīng gāi yǒu yī xiē shōu huò 。” lín xuān dàn dàn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ nǐ bú yào gào sù wǒ ， dào mù qián wéi zhǐ ， hái shì fēn háo tóu xù yě wú 。”
“不错，那些材料确实珍稀，不过以煞阳宗的实力，只要用心去做，足足两百年过去了，我想多少也应该有一些收获。”林轩淡淡的声音传入耳朵：“你不要告诉我，到目前为止，还是分毫头绪也无。”
"Good, those materials are indeed rare. However, with the power of the煞阳宗, if one puts in effort, two hundred years have passed; I think there should be some收获," Lin Xuan's cool voice entered his ears. "Do not tell me that up until now, you still have no leads."
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng yǐ jīng lěng xià qù le 。
话音未落，林轩的表情已经冷下去了。
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan's expression turned cold.
yǐ tā de xìng gé ， dāng rán bú shì nà me hǎo hù nòng ， duì fāng ruò yáng fèng yīn wéi ， zì jǐ jué rán huì ràng tā hòu huǐ 。
以他的性格，当然不是那么好糊弄，对方若阳奉阴违，自己决然会让他后悔。
Given his personality, it was clear he would not easily be fooled. If the other party were to act with one face and mean another, he would certainly make them regret their actions.
“ zhǔ rén wù huì le ， lǎo nú jìn xīn jié lì ， yòu zěn me kě néng shōu huò quán wú ， nín suǒ liè chū de bǎo wù ， rú jīn sì zhǒng dōu yǐ jīng yǒu le zhuó luò 。” shā yáng lǎo mó lián máng kāi kǒu fēn biàn ， suí hòu xiù páo yī fú ， yí gè chǔ wù dài fēi lüè ér chū ， tā shuāng shǒu pěng zhe ， sòng dào lín xuān shēn qián de àn jǐ shàng le 。
“主人误会了，老奴尽心竭力，又怎么可能收获全无，您所列出的宝物，如今四种都已经有了着落。”煞阳老魔连忙开口分辨，随后袖袍一拂，一个储物袋飞掠而出，他双手捧着，送到林轩身前的案几上了。
"Master, there is a misunderstanding. As an old servant, I have done my utmost; how could I possibly have no收获? The treasures you listed, four of them already have leads," the Old Demon of煞阳 rushed to explain, then waved his sleeves and sent out a storage bag flying before placing it on the table in front of Lin Xuan.
“ ó ？” lín xuān biǎo miàn bù dòng shēng sè ， xīn zhōng qí shí què yǐ jīng pǒ wèi huān xǐ ， zhè jǐ zhǒng cái liào jì rán shì tā luó liè chū lái dì ， nà yǒu duō zhēn xī ， lín xuān de nèi xīn shēn chù ， zì rán shì yì qīng èr chǔ ， nà bù jǐn xū yào nǔ lì ， hái yǒu yùn qì ， duì fāng néng gòu jiāng qí zhōng de sì zhǒng shōu jí ， yǐ jīng dà dà chāo chū le zì jǐ de yù jì 。
“哦？”林轩表面不动声色，心中其实却已经颇为欢喜，这几种材料既然是他罗列出来地，那有多珍稀，林轩的内心深处，自然是一清二楚，那不仅需要努力，还有运气，对方能够将其中的四种收集，已经大大超出了自己的预计。
"Oh?" Lin Xuan's exterior remained calm, but he was secretly quite pleased. Since these materials were ones he had listed himself, how rare they were was clear to him at the core of his being. Not only did one need effort, but luck as well. The other party managing to collect four out of them far exceeded his expectations.
shēn chū shǒu lái ， zhuā zhù nà chǔ wù dài ， suí hòu lín xuān jiāng shén shí chén rù qí jiān 。
伸出手来，抓住那储物袋，随后林轩将神识沉入其间。
Reaching out, Lin Xuan grabbed the storage bag and then sank his spirit sense into it.
piàn kè hòu lín xuān tái qǐ tóu ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn xǐ sè ， hái zhēn shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， duì fāng shōu jí dào de sì zhǒng cái liào yǔ zì jǐ dé dào de liǎng zhǒng bìng wú chóng fù 。
片刻后林轩抬起头，脸上露出几分喜色，还真是机缘巧合，对方收集到的四种材料与自己得到的两种并无重复。
After a moment, Lin Xuan raised his head with a hint of joy on his face. Indeed, the four materials collected by the other party did not overlap with those he had obtained.
rú cǐ jiāng liǎng zhě hé zài yì qǐ ， liàn zhì huǒ jiàn de cái liào jiù jǐn shèng xià yī zhǒng ér yǐ 。
如此将两者合在一起，炼制火剑的材料就仅剩下一种而已。
Thus, combining both sets, only one material was needed for refining the fire sword.
shā yáng lǎo mó yì zhí zài tōu kàn lín xuān de liǎn sè ， jiàn tā bìng wèi fā huǒ ， bù yóu de àn zì sōng le kǒu qì ， yǒu xiē tǎo hǎo de yán yǔ chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ bú shì lǎo nú bù nǔ lì ， lìng wài sān zhǒng cái liào wèi shǐ tài guò nán yǐ shōu jí ……”
煞阳老魔一直在偷看林轩的脸色，见他并未发火，不由得暗自松了口气，有些讨好的言语传入耳朵：“不是老奴不努力，另外三种材料未始太过难以收集……”
The Old Demon of煞阳 had been secretly watching Lin Xuan's expression and seeing no signs of anger, he breathed a sigh of relief. Some flattering words entered his ears: "I am not unhardworking; the other three materials are not too difficult to collect..."
“ nǐ bù yòng jiě shì ， lín mǒu xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， liú lí wǔ cǎi shí yǔ jiǔ yáng tiān huǒ yè lín mǒu yǐ jīng dé dào le ， zuì hòu yī zhǒng xuě yáng léi huǒ jīng ， nǐ kě yǒu shén me xiàn suǒ ？” lín xuān lěng lěng de shuō 。
“你不用解释，林某心中有数，琉璃五彩石与九阳天火液林某已经得到了，最后一种雪阳雷火晶，你可有什么线索？”林轩冷冷的说。
"You do not need to explain. I have my own understanding. The琉璃五彩石 and 九阳天火液 I already obtained. Do you have any clues for the last Snow Yang Thunder Fire Crystal?" Lin Xuan said coldly.
“ yuán lái zhǔ rén yě shōu jí dào liǎng zhǒng ， zhēn shì tài lì hài 。” shā yáng lǎo mó yī dāi ， dà gǎn yì wài ， zhè jǐ jù chēng zàn zhī cí ， dào bìng fēi pāi mǎ pì ， nà qī zhǒng cái liào ， suī rán dōu fēi cháng zhēn xī ， dàn xiāng hù zhī jiān ， kěn dìng yě yǒu chā yì 。
“原来主人也收集到两种，真是太厉害。”煞阳老魔一呆，大感意外，这几句称赞之词，倒并非拍马屁，那七种材料，虽然都非常珍稀，但相互之间，肯定也有差异。
"Master, it turns out you also collected two; that is truly impressive," the Old Demon of煞阳 was taken aback, feeling quite surprised by this. These words were not mere flattery. Although those seven materials were all extremely rare, they certainly had differences among them.
yǔ zì jǐ shōu jí dào de sì zhǒng cái liào xiāng bǐ ， liú lí wǔ cǎi shí yǔ jiǔ yáng tiān huǒ yè míng xiǎn gèng jiā zhēn xī ， bù zhī dào tā shì zěn yàng bàn dào dì 。
与自己收集到的四种材料相比，琉璃五彩石与九阳天火液明显更加珍稀，不知道他是怎样办到地。
Compared to the four materials he had collected, the琉璃五彩石 and 九阳天火液 were clearly more precious. He wondered how he managed to obtain them.
gèng bú yào shuō ， liǎng bǎi nián jìn jí dòng xuán de qí jì 。
更不要说，两百年晋级洞玄的奇迹。
Not to mention the miracle of advancing from洞玄期 in two hundred years.
zài shā yáng lǎo mó de xīn lǐ ， lín xuān yuè fā de shén mì 。
在煞阳老魔的心里，林轩越发的神秘。
In the Old Demon's mind, Lin Xuan became even more mysterious.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， tā de biǎo qíng gèng jiā gōng jìng le ， shèn zhì dài zhe jǐ fēn jìng wèi zhī sè ， ér zhè yàng de xiào guǒ ， kě bù jǐn jǐn shì jìn hún shù zào chéng de ， ér shì lín xuān suǒ zhǎn xiàn chū lái de shí lì ， ràng tā zhé fú 。
心中如此想着，他的表情更加恭敬了，甚至带着几分敬畏之色，而这样的效果，可不仅仅是禁魂术造成的，而是林轩所展现出来的实力，让他折服。
With these thoughts, his expression grew even more respectful, almost with a hint of awe. This effect was not solely due to the Soul Suppressing Spell; it was also because Lin Xuan's displayed power had convinced him.
“ xuě yáng léi huǒ jīng xiàn suǒ ， lǎo nú dào què shí yǒu yì diǎn 。” lüè yī chí yí ， shā yáng lǎo mó kāi kǒu le 。
“雪阳雷火晶线索，老奴倒确实有一点。”略一迟疑，煞阳老魔开口了。
"Indeed, I do have some clues for the Snow Yang Thunder Fire Crystal," the Old Demon of煞阳 hesitated before speaking.
“ ó ， nǐ shuō ……” lín xuān yī jiù shì bù dòng shēng sè 。
“哦，你说……”林轩依旧是不动声色。
"Oh, you say..." Lin Xuan remained calm.
“ wèi le wán chéng zhǔ rén jiāo dài xià lái de rèn wù ， lǎo nú yě shì shā fèi le yī fān kǔ xīn de ， rán ér xuě yáng léi huǒ jīng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， pǎo biàn le gè dà fāng shì pāi mài huì ， hái yǒu zōng mén jiā zú ， lǎo nú jiù suàn xiǎng yào qiǎo qǔ háo duó ， yě shì qiǎo fù nán wéi wú mǐ zhī chuī ， hòu lái biàn yuè diǎn jí ， fā xiàn zhè dōng xī ， shù shí wàn nián qián dǎo shì chū xiàn guò yī cì ……”
“为了完成主人交代下来的任务，老奴也是煞费了一番苦心的，然而雪阳雷火晶非同小可，跑遍了各大坊市拍卖会，还有宗门家族，老奴就算想要巧取豪夺，也是巧妇难为无米之炊，后来遍阅典籍，发现这东西，数十万年前倒是出现过一次……”
"To complete the task given by Master, I put in a great deal of effort. However, the Snow Yang Thunder Fire Crystal is no small matter. I searched through major markets and auctions, as well as various sects and families; even if I wanted to take them by force, it would be like a skilled woman trying to cook without rice. Later, after reviewing ancient texts, I found that this item appeared once over 100,000 years ago..."
“ shù shí wàn nián qián ， zhè dōng xī chǎn zì nǎ lǐ ？”
“数十万年前，这东西产自哪里？”
"Over 100,000 years ago, where did this item originate from?"
“ yí jì zhī hǎi sì céng ， jù shuō shì yī dòng xuán qī de sàn xiū dài chū lái dì 。”
“遗迹之海四层，据说是一洞玄期的散修带出来地。”
"The fourth layer of the Ruins Sea; it is said to have been brought out by a wandering cultivator at the洞玄期."
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”
“原来如此。”
"So that's how it is."
lín xuān liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu lù chū yì wài zhī sè ， zuò wéi shàng gǔ zhàn chǎng ， yí jì zhī hǎi sàn luò dé yǒu zhè yàng de bǎo wù ， shì fēi cháng zhèng cháng de 。
林轩脸上并没有露出意外之色，作为上古战场，遗迹之海散落得有这样的宝物，是非常正常的。
Lin Xuan's face showed no sign of surprise. As an ancient battlefield, such treasures scattered in the Ruins Sea were perfectly normal.
rán ér nà lǐ de wēi xiǎn ， yě shì shēng míng yuǎn bō ， jiù suàn dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， yǔn luò zài lǐ miàn yě sī háo bù zú wéi qí 。
然而那里的危险，也是声名远播，就算洞玄期修仙者，陨落在里面也丝毫不足为奇。
However, the dangers there were well-known, and even洞玄期 cultivators could fall victim to them without any shame.
“ nǐ de xiāo xī què shí ？”
“你的消息确实？”
"Is your information accurate?"
“ lǎo nú qǐ gǎn qī piàn zhǔ rén ， wǒ yuàn yì dǔ zhòu fā shì 。”
“老奴岂敢欺骗主人，我愿意赌咒发誓。”
"I dare not deceive Master; I am willing to swear by a curse."
lín xuān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， liǎn shàng lù chū bù yǐ wéi rán zhī sè ， dǔ zhòu fā shì ， duì xiū xiān zhě ér yán ， bù guò shì yí gè xiào huà ér yǐ ， jiù suàn xīn mó zhī shì yòu rú hé ， suī yǒu yí dìng de yuē shù lì ， dàn zhǐ yào yǒu zú gòu de hǎo chù ， yě wèi bì bù gǎn huǐ nuò 。
林轩摆了摆手，脸上露出不以为然之色，赌咒发誓，对修仙者而言，不过是一个笑话而已，就算心魔之誓又如何，虽有一定的约束力，但只要有足够的好处，也未必不敢毁诺。
Lin Xuan waved his hand, showing a disbelieving expression. For cultivators, curses and oaths were just jokes. Even if one swore by the Heart of Evil, there was still some binding power, but with enough benefits, they might break their word.
lín xuān chén yín bù yǔ ， shǎo qǐng zhī hòu yòu wèn le bù shǎo wèn tí 。
林轩沉吟不语，少顷之后又问了不少问题。
Lin Xuan remained silent for a moment before asking more questions.
shā yáng lǎo mó shēn zhōng jìn hún shù ， zì rán bù gǎn xū yǔ wēi yí ， zhī wú bù yán ， yán wú bù jìn ……
煞阳老魔身中禁魂术，自然不敢虚与委蛇，知无不言，言无不尽……
The Old Demon of煞阳 was under the Soul Suppressing Spell; naturally, he did not dare to be evasive. He spoke without reservation...
jiǔ guò sān xún ， lǎo mó shēn shǒu yī pāi ， yòu yī shì yàng jīng měi de chǔ wù dài chū xiàn zài miàn qián 。
酒过三巡，老魔伸手一拍，又一式样精美的储物袋出现在面前。
After several rounds of drinks, the old demon reached out and another beautifully crafted storage bag appeared in front of him.
suí hòu chōng lín xuān bào le bào quán ：“ lǎo nú cán kuì ， zhǔ rén fēn fù xià de rèn wù ， méi yǒu wán chéng ， dàn wǒ què shí ， jìn xīn jié lì ， jué méi yǒu sī háo xiè dài de wèn tí ， zhè ér yǒu yī xiē bǎo wù ， fèng xiàn gěi zhǔ rén ， dōng xī bù duō ， liáo biǎo xīn yì ， hái qǐng zhǔ rén qiān wàn bú yào tuī cí 。”
随后冲林轩抱了抱拳：“老奴惭愧，主人吩咐下的任务，没有完成，但我确实，尽心竭力，绝没有丝毫懈怠的问题，这儿有一些宝物，奉献给主人，东西不多，聊表心意，还请主人千万不要推辞。”
He then gave Lin Xuan a bow: "Master, I am ashamed. The task you assigned me was not completed, but I have indeed done my utmost; there is no question that I did not slack off at all. Here are some treasures as a token of my heart. There may be little here, but please accept them."
shā yáng zhēn rén yě shì huó le shù wàn nián de jiā huo ， dāng rán lǎo móu shēn suàn le 。
煞阳真人也是活了数万年的家伙，当然老谋深算了。
The Old Demon of煞阳 was an ancient being who had lived for tens of thousands of years and naturally had deep plans.
tā zǎo jiù xiǎng guò ， lín xuān chí zǎo huì zhǎo shàng mén lái ， ér duì fāng fēn fù de cái liào ， zì jǐ què bìng méi yǒu shōu jí qí 。 tiān xiǎo de lín xuān huì bú huì dà nù fān liǎn 。
他早就想过，林轩迟早会找上门来，而对方吩咐的材料，自己却并没有收集齐。天晓得林轩会不会大怒翻脸。
He had long thought that Lin Xuan would eventually come looking for him, and the materials he asked to gather were incomplete. Who knew if Lin Xuan might be furious?
sú huà shuō ， rén zài wū yán xià ， bù dé bù dī tóu ， gù ér tā yòu jīng xīn zhǔn bèi le xǔ duō bǎo wù ， xī wàng néng gòu píng xī duì fāng de nù huǒ 。
俗话说，人在屋檐下，不得不低头，故而他又精心准备了许多宝物，希望能够平息对方的怒火。
As they say, when under someone's roof, one must bow down. Therefore, he prepared many treasures in hopes of calming any anger from his side.
lín xuān shì hé děng cōng míng de rén wù ， duì fāng zhè fān dǎ suàn ， jí shǐ bù shuō ， tā yě shì yì qīng èr chǔ ， zhòng bǎo dāng qián ， dāng rán méi yǒu lǐ yóu tuī tuō ， lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， líng guāng yī shǎn ， yǐ jiāng shén shí chén rù lǐ miàn 。
林轩是何等聪明的人物，对方这番打算，即使不说，他也是一清二楚，重宝当前，当然没有理由推脱，林轩伸出手来，灵光一闪，已将神识沉入里面。
Lin Xuan was a very clever person; even without saying it, he understood the other party's intentions. With such valuable items present, there was no reason to refuse. Lin Xuan reached out, and a flash of spirit light entered the bag.
piàn kè hòu ， lín xuān tái qǐ tóu ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， lǐ miàn jīng shí ， cái liào ， dān yào ， fǎ bǎo ， yīng yǒu jìn yǒu ， zhè chǔ wù dài suǒ shèng fàng de dōng xī ， yī shí piàn kè ， lín xuān yě nán yǐ gū suàn qí jià zhí 。
片刻后，林轩抬起头，脸上露出满意之色，里面晶石，材料，丹药，法宝，应有尽有，这储物袋所盛放的东西，一时片刻，林轩也难以估算其价值。
After a moment, Lin Xuan raised his head with satisfaction on his face. The storage bag contained crystals, materials, medicinal pills, and magical treasures; it would take some time for Lin Xuan to estimate their value.
“ dào yǒu jì rán yī fān měi yì ， nà lín mǒu jiù bú kè qì 。”
“道友既然一番美意，那林某就不客气。”
"Since you have such good intentions, I will not be rude."
lín xuān shǒu wàn yī fān ， yǐ jiāng tā quán bù zhuāng rù le yāo jiān de xū yú dài lǐ miàn 。
林轩手腕一翻，已将牠全部装入了腰间的须臾袋里面。
Lin Xuan flipped his wrist and put all the items into his waist pouch.
“ duō xiè zhǔ rén bù qì 。”
“多谢主人不弃。”
"Thank you, Master, for your kindness."
shā yáng lǎo mó zài lín xuān miàn qián xiǎn de shì bēi gōng qū xī ， bì jìng tā de shòu yuán zhǐ shèng xià bā bǎi nián zuǒ yòu ， yǐ shì wú xīn jìn qǔ ， píng ān jí shì fú ， qí tā de yī qiè ， dōu bìng bù zài hū 。
煞阳老魔在林轩面前显得是卑躬屈膝，毕竟他的寿元只剩下八百年左右，已是无心进取，平安即是福，其他的一切，都并不在乎。
The Old Demon of煞阳 appeared humble before Lin Xuan. With only about eight hundred years left in his lifespan, he was no longer interested in advancement; peace was enough. He did not mention receiving the gift but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A man who received food could not refuse it, and one who accepted gifts would not be harsh.
jiàn lín xuān shōu xià zì jǐ de lǐ wù ， tā biǎo miàn bù tí ， shí jì shàng què àn sōng le kǒu qì ， chī rén zuǐ duǎn ， ná rén shǒu duǎn ， zhè lín xiǎo zi ， yīng gāi bú huì wéi nán zì jǐ 。
见林轩收下自己的礼物，他表面不提，实际上却暗松了口气，吃人嘴短，拿人手短，这林小子，应该不会为难自己。
"I have another question to ask."
“ wǒ hái yǒu yí gè wèn tí ， xiǎng yào qǐng jiào dào yǒu 。”
“我还有一个问题，想要请教道友。”
"Please do not hesitate to ask, Master. I will speak without reservation."
“ qǐng jiào bù gǎn dāng ， zhǔ rén qǐng shuō ， lǎo nú yí dìng zhī wú bù yán de 。”
“请教不敢当，主人请说，老奴一定知无不言的。”
"Do you know how many隔界传送阵 there are in the East Sea?" Lin Xuan asked, revealing his doubts. The power of the煞阳宗 was considerable; as a Supreme Elder, he knew the secrets, which was not surprising.
“ nǐ kě xiǎo de ， dōng hǎi de gé jiè chuán sòng zhèn yǒu jǐ gè ？” lín xuān wèn chū le xīn zhōng de yí huò ， shā yáng zōng shì lì fēi xiǎo ， duì fāng zuò wéi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， xiǎo de yǐn mì ， yě bù zú wéi qí 。
“你可晓得，东海的隔界传送阵有几个？”林轩问出了心中的疑惑，煞阳宗势力非小，对方作为太上长老，晓得隐秘，也不足为奇。
...
……
……
Half an hour later, Lin Xuan planned to leave. The clues obtained from the Old Demon of煞阳 were the same as those from the High Lord of the Holy City.
bàn gè shí chén hòu ， lín xuān dǎ suàn lí kāi cǐ chù ， cóng shā yáng lǎo mó kǒu zhōng dé dào de xiàn suǒ ， yǔ shèng chéng zhī zhǔ nǎ lǐ dé dào de ， shì yī yàng de 。
半个时辰后，林轩打算离开此处，从煞阳老魔口中得到的线索，与圣城之主哪里得到的，是一样的。
Comparing them, this information should be true.
liǎng xiāng duì zhào ， zhè ge xiāo xī ， yīng gāi bú huì yǒu jiǎ le 。
两相对照，这个消息，应该不会有假了。
"Master, there is one more thing I wish to ask," seeing Lin Xuan's intention to leave, the Old Demon of煞阳 hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“ zhǔ rén ， lǎo nú hái yǒu yī shì xiāng qiú 。” jiàn lín xuān yì yù lí kāi ， shā yáng lǎo mó chí yí bàn xiǎng ， zhōng yú kāi kǒu 。
“主人，老奴还有一事相求。”见林轩意欲离开，煞阳老魔迟疑半响，终于开口。
"When Master said earlier that if all the treasures were gathered, the Soul Suppressing Spell could be lifted, two hundred years have passed. Although I did not gather them all, I put in my best effort. Now with the last material having leads, I believe that with your great power, you can obtain it. Can you lift the restrictions on me and return me to freedom?"
“ dāng chū zhǔ rén céng shuō ， rú guǒ còu qí le bǎo wù ， kě yǐ jiě chú jìn hún shù ， liǎng bǎi nián guò qù le ， lǎo nú suī méi yǒu còu qí ， dàn yě jìn xīn jié lì ， rú jīn zuì hòu yī jiàn cái liào ， yě yǒu le xiàn suǒ ， xiāng xìn yǐ zhǔ rén de dà shén tōng ， shì yí dìng kě yǐ dé dào de ， nà néng gòu jiāng lǎo nú shēn shàng de jìn zhì jiě chú ， hái wǒ zì yóu zhī shēn me ？”
“当初主人曾说，如果凑齐了宝物，可以解除禁魂术，两百年过去了，老奴虽没有凑齐，但也尽心竭力，如今最后一件材料，也有了线索，相信以主人的大神通，是一定可以得到的，那能够将老奴身上的禁制解除，还我自由之身么？”

Chapter 1968: Snow Yang Thunder Fire Crystal
"Good, those materials are indeed rare. However, with the power of the煞阳宗, if one puts in effort, two hundred years have passed; I think there should be some收获," Lin Xuan's cool voice entered his ears. "Do not tell me that up until now, you still have no leads."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan's expression turned cold.
Given his personality, it was clear he would not easily be fooled. If the other party were to act with one face and mean another, he would certainly make them regret their actions.
"Master, there is a misunderstanding. As an old servant, I have done my utmost; how could I possibly have no收获? The treasures you listed, four of them already have leads," the Old Demon of煞阳 rushed to explain, then waved his sleeves and sent out a storage bag flying before placing it on the table in front of Lin Xuan.
"Oh?" Lin Xuan's exterior remained calm, but he was secretly quite pleased. Since these materials were ones he had listed himself, how rare they were was clear to him at the core of his being. Not only did one need effort, but luck as well. The other party managing to collect four out of them far exceeded his expectations.

I searched through major markets and auctions, as well as various sects and families; even if I wanted to take them by force, it would be like a skilled woman trying to cook without rice. Later, after reviewing ancient texts, I found that this item appeared once over 100,000 years ago..."
"Over 100,000 years ago, where did this item originate from?"
"The fourth layer of the Ruins Sea; it is said to have been brought out by a wandering cultivator at the洞玄期."
"So that's how it is."
Lin Xuan's face showed no sign of surprise. As an ancient battlefield, such treasures scattered in the Ruins Sea were perfectly normal.
However, the dangers there were well-known, and even洞玄期 cultivators could fall victim to them without any shame.
"Is your information accurate?"
"I dare not deceive Master; I am willing to swear by a curse."
Lin Xuan waved his hand, showing a disbelieving expression. For cultivators, curses and oaths were just jokes. Even if one swore by the Heart of Evil, there was still some binding power, but with enough benefits, they might break their word.
Lin Xuan remained silent for a moment before asking more questions.
The Old Demon of煞阳 was under the Soul Suppressing Spell; naturally, he did not dare to be evasive. He spoke without reservation...
After several rounds of drinks, the old demon reached out and another beautifully crafted storage bag appeared in front of him.
He then gave Lin Xuan a bow: "Master, I am ashamed. The task you assigned me was not completed, but I have indeed done my utmost; there is no question that I did not slack off at all. Here are some treasures as a token of my heart. There may be little here, but please accept them."
The Old Demon of煞阳 was an ancient being who had lived for tens of thousands of years and naturally had deep plans.
He had long thought that Lin Xuan would eventually come looking for him, and the materials he asked to gather were incomplete. Who knew if Lin Xuan might be furious?
As they say, when under someone's roof, one must bow down. Therefore, he prepared many treasures in hopes of calming any anger from his side.
Lin Xuan was a very clever person; even without saying it, he understood the other party's intentions. With such valuable items present, there was no reason to refuse. Lin Xuan reached out, and a flash of spirit light entered the bag.
After a moment, Lin Xuan raised his head with satisfaction on his face. The storage bag contained crystals, materials, medicinal pills, and magical treasures; it would take some time for Lin Xuan to estimate their value.
"Since you have such good intentions, I will not be rude."
Lin Xuan flipped his wrist and put all the items into his waist pouch.
"Thank you, Master, for your kindness."
The Old Demon of煞阳 appeared humble before Lin Xuan. With only about eight hundred years left in his lifespan, he was no longer interested in advancement; peace was enough. He did not mention receiving the gift but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A man who received food could not refuse it, and one who accepted gifts would not be harsh.
"I have another question to ask."
"Please do not hesitate to ask, Master. I will speak without reservation."
"Do you know how many隔界传送阵 there are in the East Sea?" Lin Xuan asked, revealing his doubts. The power of the煞阳宗 was considerable; as a Supreme Elder, he knew the secrets, which was not surprising.
...
Half an hour later, Lin Xuan planned to leave. The clues obtained from the Old Demon of煞阳 were the same as those from the High Lord of the Holy City.
Comparing them, this information should be true.
"Master, there is one more thing I wish to ask," seeing Lin Xuan's intention to leave, the Old Demon of煞阳 hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"When Master said earlier that if all the treasures were gathered, the Soul Suppressing Spell could be lifted, two hundred years have passed. Although I did not gather them all, I put in my best effort. Now with the last material having leads, I believe that with your great power, you can obtain it. Can you lift the restrictions on me and return me to freedom?"
