rán ér lín xuān què duì cǐ shì ruò wú dǔ ， zhǎ yǎn jiān ， yín máng jiù fēi dào le jīn sè qiáng bì de miàn qián ， rán ér xià yī kè ， què chū xiàn le guǐ yì de huà miàn 。
然而林轩却对此视若无睹，眨眼间，银芒就飞到了金色墙壁的面前，然而下一刻，却出现了诡异的画面。
However, Lin Xuan paid no heed to this. In an instant, the silver light flew in front of the golden wall, but the next moment, something strange happened.
nà yín máng fǎng fú huó wù yī yàng ， zài bàn kōng zhōng niǔ le yī niǔ ， bìng méi yǒu xuǎn zé yǔ fáng yù fǎ shù yìng káng ， ér shì cóng páng biān rào le guò qù 。
那银芒仿佛活物一样，在半空中扭了一扭，并没有选择与防御法术硬扛，而是从旁边绕了过去。
The silver light seemed alive as it twisted mid-air and did not choose to directly confront the defensive spell; instead, it went around from the side.
suī rán qiáng bì yǒu shù zhàng zhǎng kuān ， dàn zhè diǎn jù lí ， duì yú líng qì de fēi xíng sù dù ér yán ， jī hū kě yǐ hū lüè bù jì 。
虽然墙壁有数丈长宽，但这点距离，对于灵器的飞行速度而言，几乎可以忽略不计。
Although the wall was several dozen feet long and wide, this distance was negligible for a spirit artifact's flight speed.
luó shì xiōng dì duì shì yī yǎn ， liǎn sè cāng bái wú xuè ， luó tǒng yǎo le yǎo yá ， hún shēn bái máng dà shèng ， zhěng gè shēn tǐ yǒu rú qì qiú yī yàng de xùn sù péng zhàng qǐ lái le ， yī rán shì nà guǐ yì zhī jí de fáng yù fǎ shù 。
罗氏兄弟对视一眼，脸色苍白无血，罗桶咬了咬牙，浑身白芒大盛，整个身体有如气球一样的迅速膨胀起来了，依然是那诡异之极的防御法术。
Brothers Luo exchanged glances, their faces pale. Luo Tu clenched his teeth, emitting a greater amount of white light all over his body as he rapidly inflated like an inflated balloon. He still used that bizarre defensive spell.
guǐ shé jiàn yǐ jīng shā dào le yǎn qián ！
鬼蛇剑已经杀到了眼前！
The Ghost Snake Sword had already arrived before his eyes!
wéi rào tā de bó zi rào le yī quān ……
围绕他的脖子绕了一圈……
It circled around his neck...
mǎn tiān de xuè wù ， diào xià le hǎo dà yī kē tóu lú 。\\\
满天的血雾，掉下了好大一颗头颅。\\\
A cloud of blood and a large head dropped to the ground.
jiē zhe qù shì bù xiē ， yī tóu zhā jìn le dì di luó biāo de xiōng táng zhī zhōng 。
接着去势不歇，一头扎进了弟弟罗彪的胸膛之中。
Then it continued its momentum, plunging into his brother Luo Biao's chest.
dà míng dǐng dǐng de luó shì shuāng shā ， zuì zhōng hái shì bú shì lín xuān de duì shǒu ， zài tā de shǒu lǐ yǔn luò ， céng jīng de yě xīn ， mǎn qiāng de **， yě dōu huà wèi le chén tǔ 。
大名鼎鼎的罗氏双煞，最终还是不是林轩的对手，在他的手里陨落，曾经的野心，满腔的**，也都化为了尘土。
The famous Luo brothers were finally no match for Lin Xuan in battle; they fell under his hands, their former ambitions and passion turned to dust.
lín xuān de dùn guāng yǐ jīng lái dào le yǎn qián ， shēn shǒu yī zhāo ， yī dào hēi qì fēi shè ér chū ， yī jiē yī juàn ， lā huí le liǎng xiōng dì yāo jiān de chǔ wù dài 。
林轩的遁光已经来到了眼前，伸手一招，一道黑气飞射而出，一接一卷，拉回了两兄弟腰间的储物袋。
Lin Xuan's遁光 had already arrived before him. Reaching out with a hand, he shot forth a black aura which caught the two brothers' storage bags and pulled them back.
zhè yī cì zhàn dòu suī rán jiān kǔ le diǎn ， dàn shōu huò què shì chū qí de fēng fù ， bié kàn liǎng xiōng dì shì sàn xiū ， kě zhēn cáng què bǐ nà xiē míng mén dà pài de dé yì dì zǐ hái yào fēng hòu 。
这一次战斗虽然艰苦了点，但收获却是出奇的丰富，别看两兄弟是散修，可珍藏却比那些名门大派的得意弟子还要丰厚。
Although this battle was tough, the收获 was surprisingly bountiful. Despite being scattered cultivators, these two brothers' treasures were more abundant than those of the disciples from famous sects.
lín xuān wò zhù sān chǐ qīng fēng ， qīng qīng yī dǒu ， liù bǐng zi jiàn yě fēi le chū lái ， jiàn shēn zào xíng gǔ piáo ， jiàn bǐng chù yòng zhuàn wén kè zhe “ shuǐ yún ” liǎng gè zì 。 jí shǐ yǒu xuán huǒ shén zhū zhè yàng de gǔ bǎo ， zhè tào jí pǐn líng qì yī rán ràng lín xuān ài bù shì shǒu 。 bǎ wán le hǎo yī huì er ， cái liàn liàn bù shě de shōu rù zì jǐ dì chǔ wù dài zhōng 。
林轩握住三尺青锋，轻轻一抖，六柄子剑也飞了出来，剑身造型古朴，剑柄处用篆文刻着“水云”两个字。即使有玄火神珠这样的古宝，这套极品灵器依然让林轩爱不释手。把玩了好一会儿，才恋恋不舍的收入自己地储物袋中。
Lin Xuan grasped his three-foot-long sword and shook it lightly; six subsidiary swords flew out. The blade's design was ancient, with the characters "Water Cloud" engraved on the hilt. Even with the Divine Fire Numinous Pearl such an ancient treasure, this top-grade spirit artifact still captivated Lin Xuan. After playing with them for a while, he reluctantly put them back into his storage bag.
qí tā dōng xī xiān bù máng chá kàn ， lín xuān yuán lù fēi le huí lái 。
其他东西先不忙查看，林轩原路飞了回来。
For now, other items would be checked later. Lin Xuan flew back along the same path.
fēi dào bàn tú ， què zhǐ tīng pēng de yī shēng ， lín xuān chī le yī jīng ， líng lì hù dùn zhào tǐ 。 zhè cái dìng jīng wàng qù 。
飞到半途，却只听嘭的一声，林轩吃了一惊，灵力护盾罩体。这才定睛望去。
Midway through, he heard a loud bang and was startled, activating his Qi Shield. Only then did he focus his gaze.
kě rù mù suǒ jiàn zhī wù ， què ràng lín xuān méi tóu dà zhòu le qǐ lái ， jū rán shì nà yī piàn lǜ sè de chóng yún ， cǐ wù méi yǒu le zhǔ rén ， gù ér cóng líng shòu dài zhōng zì jǐ fēi le chū lái 。
可入目所见之物，却让林轩眉头大皱了起来，居然是那一片绿色的虫云，此物没有了主人，故而从灵兽袋中自己飞了出来。
But what met his eyes caused Lin Xuan's brows to furrow; it was that green insect cloud. Without its master, this creature had flown out of the spirit beast pouch on its own.
shuō shí huà ， duì yú qū chóng shū ， lín xuān hái shì jǐ fēn xīn dòng de ， bù guò tān duō jiáo bù làn ， dāng wù zhī jí ， yīng gāi shì níng chéng jīn dān 。*****
说实话，对于驱虫书，林轩还是几分心动的，不过贪多嚼不烂，当务之急，应该是凝成金丹。*****
To be honest, Lin Xuan still felt a slight interest in the驱虫书, but greed could not be satisfied all at once. The pressing issue should be condensing his golden core.*****
ér qiě zhè lǜ máng qū suī rán pǒ wèi bù fán 。 dàn yǐ jīng rèn zhǔ de líng chóng ， zì jǐ dé dào le yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ shǐ yòng ， lüè yī sī liáng zhī hòu 。 lín xuān zhāng kāi kǒu ， yī lǚ bái sè de huǒ yàn bèi tā pēn le chū lái 。
而且这绿芒蛆虽然颇为不凡。但已经认主的灵虫，自己得到了也没有办法使用，略一思量之后。林轩张开口，一缕白色的火焰被他喷了出来。
Moreover, although these green glow maggots were quite extraordinary, they had already been claimed by their masters; even if Lin Xuan obtained them, he would have no way to use them. After a moment's thought, Lin Xuan opened his mouth and spat out a white flame.
xiān tiān zhēn huǒ ！
先天真火！
Primordial True Fire!
hōng ， nà huǒ yàn yǔ chóng yún yī jiē chù ， lì kè jiù rán shāo chéng le yī piàn huǒ hǎi 。
轰，那火焰与虫云一接触，立刻就燃烧成了一片火海。
Boom! The flame instantly turned into a sea of fire upon contact with the insect cloud.
lǜ máng qū zhī zhī guài jiào le qǐ lái 。
绿芒蛆吱吱怪叫了起来。
The green glow maggots made strange noises.
běn lái zhù jī qī dì xiān tiān zhēn huǒ bìng bù néng nài hé cǐ chóng ， lǜ máng qū suī rán duì níng dān qī de gāo shǒu xíng bù chéng wēi xié ， dàn duì zhù jī qī xiū shì ér yán ， hái shì kě wèi kě bù de cún zài ， kě zhǔ rén guà diào yǐ hòu ， méi yǒu rén zhǐ huī 。 lǜ máng qū gēn běn jiù bú huì zì jǐ fáng yù ， gù ér xiān tiān zhēn huǒ yě néng jiāng shāo huǐ 。
本来筑基期地先天真火并不能奈何此虫，绿芒蛆虽然对凝丹期的高手形不成威胁，但对筑基期修士而言，还是可畏可怖的存在，可主人挂掉以后，没有人指挥。绿芒蛆根本就不会自己防御，故而先天真火也能将烧毁。
Originally, the先天True Fire at the Foundation Establishment stage could not harm this creature. Although the green glow maggots posed no threat to core condensation experts, they were still terrifying for Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, without a master's command, these maggots would not defend themselves; thus, the primordial true fire could burn them.
hěn kuài ， nà dà piàn de chóng yún jiù xiāo shī dài jìn ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī piàn lǜ sè de wù qì piāo fú zài yuán dì ， jí shǐ shì kuáng fēng chuī lái ， yě bù néng ràng fēn kāi 。
很快，那大片的虫云就消失殆尽，取而代之的是一片绿色的雾气漂浮在原地，即使是狂风吹来，也不能让分开。
Soon, that vast insect cloud vanished, replaced by a green mist hovering in place, unaffected even by strong winds.
jiàn dào cǐ jǐng ， lín xuān yí zhèng ， liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī de biǎo qíng ， rán ér tā shǒu yī fān 。 qǔ chū le yí gè yù píng ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ rù nà lǜ sè de wù qì zhī zhōng ， jiāng shōu jìn le píng lǐ 。
见到此景，林轩一怔，脸上露出若有所思的表情，然而他手一翻。取出了一个玉瓶，一道法诀打入那绿色的雾气之中，将收进了瓶里。
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan was taken aback and wore an expression of thoughtfulness. Reaching into his storage bag, he took out a jade bottle and cast a spell on the green mist, which he then sealed inside.
rú guǒ zì jǐ suǒ liào bù chà de huà ， cǐ wù yīng gāi shì lǜ máng qū de jīng huá ， jù dú wú bǐ ， nǎi zhàng qì zhōng dì zhàng qì ， xiū zhēn zhě suī rán néng gòu kàng dú ， dàn rú guǒ dào le yí dìng chéng dù yě dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， rú jīn jiāng cǐ wù liàn zhì chéng tiān léi zi zhī lèi de àn qì fǎ bǎo 。 wēi lì xiǎng bì bù xiǎo 。
如果自己所料不差的话，此物应该是绿芒蛆的精华，剧毒无比，乃瘴气中地瘴气，修真者虽然能够抗毒，但如果到了一定程度也抵挡不住，如今将此物炼制成天雷子之类的暗器法宝。威力想必不小。
If his guess was correct, this should be the essence of the green glow maggots, extremely toxic, a pestilence within the pestilence. Although cultivators could resist poison to some extent, they would eventually succumb if it reached a certain level. Turning this into a dark weapon like Heavenly Thunder Seeds, its power must be considerable.
rán hòu lín xuān bù zài tíng liú 。 fēi huí dào le mù líng shù de shēng zhǎng zhī chù 。**
然后林轩不再停留。飞回到了木灵树的生长之处。**
Then Lin Xuan did not linger and flew back to where the wood spirit tree grew.**
qīng ér yì jǔ dì jiāng mù líng guǒ zhāi qǔ ， tái tóu kàn kàn tiān sè 。 hái zǎo ， jù lí huí qù dà yuē hái yǒu yí gè shí chén zuǒ yòu 。
轻而易举地将木灵果摘取，抬头看看天色。还早，距离回去大约还有一个时辰左右。
He easily plucked a wood spirit fruit; looking at the sky, there was still plenty of time before returning, about an hour left.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu sì chù luàn zǒu ， gān cuì jiù zài fù jìn suí yì zhǎo le yí gè dì fāng pán xī zuò xià ， shuāng shǒu gè zhuā zhù yī kuài jīng shí ， kāi shǐ huī fù líng lì le a ！
林轩并没有四处乱走，干脆就在附近随意找了一个地方盘膝坐下，双手各抓住一块晶石，开始恢复灵力了啊！
Lin Xuan did not wander around aimlessly but instead sat cross-legged in a nearby place, holding two crystal stones in his hands and began to recover his essence energy!
lián xù jīng lì le liǎng chǎng zhàn dòu ， yóu qí shì gāng cái ， luó shì xiōng dì de xiū wèi zhe shí bù fán ， zì jǐ de fǎ lì yě xiāo hào le bù shǎo ， dāng rán yào zhuā jǐn shí jiān huī fù yī fān 。
连续经历了两场战斗，尤其是刚才，罗氏兄弟的修为着实不凡，自己的法力也消耗了不少，当然要抓紧时间恢复一番。
After enduring two battles, especially that one with the Luo brothers, their cultivation was indeed formidable. His own essence energy had been depleted; naturally, he needed to recover as soon as possible.
dāng rán ， jiāng xiǎo yuè ér fàng le chū lái ， ràng tā zài yī páng tì zì jǐ hù fǎ 。
当然，将小月儿放了出来，让她在一旁替自己护法。
Of course, Xiao Yue was released to guard him from the side.
jié guǒ ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu pèng jiàn shén me wēi xiǎn ， yǔ zì jǐ tóng zú de sān gè xiū zhēn zhě ， zōng yǐng quán wú ， kàn lái bú shì bèi hú fán ， jiù shì bèi luó shì xiōng dì gěi miè diào le 。
结果，根本就没有碰见什么危险，与自己同族的三个修真者，踪影全无，看来不是被胡凡，就是被罗氏兄弟给灭掉了。
However, no danger was encountered. The three fellow cultivators of his kind were nowhere to be seen, suggesting they had either been killed by Hu Fan or by the Luo brothers.
liáng jiǔ 。
良久。
After a long while,
lín xuān zhàn le qǐ lái ， fǎ lì suī rán méi yǒu wán quán huī fù ， dàn suǒ chà què yě bù duō ， rán hòu ， lín xuān zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， qǔ chū yí gè yù tǒng jiǎn ， jiāng shén shí jìn rù lǐ miàn 。
林轩站了起来，法力虽然没有完全恢复，但所差却也不多，然后，林轩在储物袋上一拍，取出一个玉筒简，将神识浸入里面。
Lin Xuan stood up; although his essence energy had not fully recovered, it was close enough. Then, he tapped his storage bag and took out an jade cylinder, immersing his divine sense within it.
shǎo qǐng ， tā tái qǐ tóu lái ， lüè yī biàn shí fāng xiàng ， jiù xiàng dōng nán miàn fēi qù le 。
少顷，他抬起头来，略一辨识方向，就像东南面飞去了。
After a moment, he raised his head, identified the direction, and flew towards the southeast.
yí gè chuán sòng zhèn chū xiàn zài yǎn qián 。
一个传送阵出现在眼前。
A teleportation array appeared before him.
shàng miàn de fú wén wēi wēi shǎn dòng zhe ， kàn lái yǐ jīng qǐ dòng ， lín xuān háo bù yóu yù de zhàn le shàng qù ， líng lì wéi yī zhù rù ， yī zhèn bái guāng shǎn guò ， tā de shēn yǐng zhú jiàn mó hú ， suí hòu xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
上面的符文微微闪动着，看来已经启动，林轩毫不犹豫的站了上去，灵力唯一注入，一阵白光闪过，他的身影逐渐模糊，随后消失得无影无踪。
The runes on its surface flickered slightly; it had already been activated. Lin Xuan stepped onto it without hesitation, injecting essence energy into it. A flash of white light passed by, gradually blurring his figure until he vanished completely.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， zài lìng yī jiān shí wū 。
与此同时，在另一间石屋。
At the same time, in another stone house,
chuán sòng zhèn yī liàng ， lín xuān cóng shàng miàn zǒu le xià lái 。
传送阵一亮，林轩从上面走了下来。
the teleportation array lit up as Lin Xuan walked down from it.
lüè yī dǎ liàng ， guǒ rán shì zì jǐ chuán sòng chū qù de nà jiān wū zi ， rán ér yǔ gāng cái xiāng bǐ ， rén què shǎo le hěn duō ， chú le tiān mù pài nà míng jiào zuò zhōu hǎi de guǎn shì ， qí tā huí lái dì zhù jī qī xiū zhēn zhě ， jū rán zhǐ shèng xià liù qī rén le ， lián chū fā shí de sān fēn zhī yī dōu méi yǒu 。
略一打量，果然是自己传送出去的那间屋子，然而与刚才相比，人却少了很多，除了天目派那名叫做周海的管事，其他回来地筑基期修真者，居然只剩下六七人了，连出发时的三分之一都没有。
After a quick look around, this was indeed the room he had teleported out of; however, compared to before, there were fewer people. Apart from Zhou Hai, an official from the Tianmu Sect, only six or seven Foundation Establishment cultivators remained—less than one-third of those who left.
“ dào yǒu huí lái le ， xiān xiē xī ba ！”
“道友回来了，先歇息吧！”
"Comrade, you're back! Rest for a while!"
zhōu hǎi chōng lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， rán ér bù zhī dào yǒu méi yǒu kàn cuò ， tā wàng xiàng zì jǐ de mù guāng ， jū rán yǐn yǐn hán zhe yī sī xiàn mù 。
周海冲林轩点了点头，然而不知道有没有看错，他望向自己的目光，居然隐隐含着一丝羡慕。
Zhou Hai nodded at Lin Xuan; he wasn't sure if his gaze contained a hint of envy.
lín xuān liú shàng le xīn ， biǎo miàn shàng ， què bù dòng shēng sè ， mò rán de diǎn diǎn tóu ， lái dào yī páng zuò xià le ， tóng shí lěng yǎn páng guān zhě shèng xià de jǐ gè xiū shì 。
林轩留上了心，表面上，却不动声色，漠然的点点头，来到一旁坐下了，同时冷眼旁观者剩下的几个修士。
Lin Xuan took note but did not show it on his face, nodding indifferently and sitting down beside him as he coldly observed the remaining cultivators.
zhǐ jiàn chú le zhōng jiān yí gè shēn chuān chì hóng dào páo ， xiōng kǒu chù xiù zhe yī duǒ huǒ yàn de dà hàn zhī wài ， qí tā de xiū shì ， shén sè wú bù huī bài yǐ jí 。
只见除了中间一个身穿赤红道袍，胸口处绣着一朵火焰的大汉之外，其他的修士，神色无不灰败以极。
Apart from one man in a crimson Daoist robe with a flame embroidered on his chest, all other cultivators had a despondent expression. Their faces were different; some looked dejected, others gritted their teeth, and even some were muttering curses...
biǎo qíng gèng shì gè yì ， yǒu de chuí tóu sàng qì ， yǒu de yǎo yá qiè chǐ ， yǒu dì shèn zhì zuǐ chún wēi dòng ， zài nán nán de zhòu mà zhe shén me ……
表情更是各异，有的垂头丧气，有的咬牙切齿，有地甚至嘴唇微动，在喃喃的咒骂着什么……
That man was completely opposite; he not only seemed extremely pleased but also had an odd glint of greed in his eyes.
However, Lin Xuan paid no heed to this. In an instant, the silver light flew in front of the golden wall, but the next moment, something strange happened.
The silver light seemed alive as it twisted mid-air and did not choose to directly confront the defensive spell; instead, it went around from the side.
Although the wall was several dozen feet long and wide, this distance was negligible for a spirit artifact's flight speed.
Brothers Luo exchanged glances, their faces pale. Luo Tu clenched his teeth, emitting a greater amount of white light all over his body as he rapidly inflated like an inflated balloon. He still used that bizarre defensive spell.
The Ghost Snake Sword had already arrived before his eyes!
It circled around his neck...
Bang!
A cloud of blood and a large head dropped to the ground.
Then it continued its momentum, plunging into his brother Luo Biao's chest.
The famous Luo brothers were finally no match for Lin Xuan in battle; they fell under his hands, their former ambitions and passion turned to dust.
Lin Xuan's遁光 had already arrived before him. Reaching out with a hand, he shot forth a black aura which caught the two brothers' storage bags and pulled them back.
