“ yí bàn ？”
“一半？”
"Half of it?"

林轩眉头一皱。說，.Com
Lin Xuan frowned. "Not bad, disciple does not dare to deceive Uncle Senior. Back then, the Holy Ancestor with Three Eyes saw that things were going south and entrusted his right-hand man to help him hide treasures. The treasure map was split into two parts; half of it was kept by the ancestor as a town-protecting treasure."
“ bù cuò ， dì zǐ bù gǎn qī mán shī shū ， dāng nián ， sān yǎn shèng zǔ kàn chū qíng shì bù miào ， wěi tuō zuǒ bǎng yòu bì bāng tā cáng bǎo ， ér nà cáng bǎo tú ， què fēn chéng liǎng fèn ， qí zhōng yí bàn ， yóu zǔ shī yé zuò wéi zhèn pài zhī bǎo 。” nà pàng zi gǔ mó tūn le yī kǒu tuò mò ， xiǎo xīn yì yì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“不错，弟子不敢欺瞒师叔，当年，三眼圣祖看出情势不妙，委托左膀右臂帮他藏宝，而那藏宝图，却分成两份，其中一半，由祖师爷作为镇派之宝。”那胖子古魔吞了一口唾沫，小心翼翼的声音传入耳朵。
The fat ancient demon swallowed hard, speaking carefully. His voice entered Lin Xuan's ears.
lín xuān de liǎn sè zé biàn huàn bù dìng qǐ lái le 。
林轩的脸色则变幻不定起来了。
Lin Xuan's expression changed unpredictably. From the other party's demeanor, he should not be lying, but this situation greatly exceeded his expectations. The Holy Ancestor's treasures certainly made Lin Xuan's heart race with desire, but a half of the treasure map was as good as useless.
cóng duì fāng de biǎo qíng ， yīng gāi bú shì sā huǎng ， rán ér zhè ge qíng kuàng ， què dà chū zì jǐ de yù liào ， sān yǎn shèng zǔ de bǎo wù ， gù rán ràng lín xuān xīn dòng yǐ jí ， kě cáng bǎo tú jǐn yǒu yí bàn ， què shì xíng tóng fèi zhǐ yī yàng 。
从对方的表情，应该不是撒谎，然而这个情况，却大出自己的预料，三眼圣祖的宝物，固然让林轩心动以极，可藏宝图仅有一半，却是形同废纸一样。
Damn it!
kě wù ！
可恶！
Lin Xuan's mood naturally wasn't good; he almost wanted to turn and leave. However, the three demons' expressions were full of anxiety. Just when the atmosphere seemed tense, the woman in court attire on his left spoke up: "Uncle Senior, please calm down. We fully understand that offering you a half-finished treasure map is too trivial from any angle. So we have prepared something as compensation."
lín xuān de xīn qíng zì rán bù hǎo ， jī hū xiǎng yào niǔ tóu zǒu zhí ér sān mó de biǎo qíng mǎn shì tǎn tè ， zhèng dāng qì fēn yǒu xiē níng zhì de shí hòu ， nà zhàn zài zuǒ cè de gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ kāi kǒu le ：“ shī shū xī nù ， wǒ sān rén yě qīng chǔ ， wèi yī zhāng bù wán zhěng de cáng bǎo tú ràng nín chū shǒu ， bù lùn cóng nǎ ge fāng miàn shuō ， dōu tài guò ér xì ， suǒ yǐ wǒ men lìng wài zhǔn bèi dé yǒu bǔ cháng de 。”
林轩的心情自然不好，几乎想要扭头走执而三魔的表情满是忐忑，正当气氛有些凝滞的时候，那站在左侧的宫装女子开口了：“师叔息怒，我三人也清楚，为一张不完整的藏宝图让您出手，不论从哪个方面说，都太过儿戏，所以我们另外准备得有补偿的。”
"Compensation?" Lin Xuan turned his head, and a glint of sharpness appeared in his eyes.
“ lìng yǒu bǔ cháng ？” lín xuān zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu jīng máng shǎn shuò 。
“另有补偿？”林轩转过头颅，眼中隐隐有精芒闪烁。
"No, besides the half-map, our ancestor also passed on another treasure. I believe Uncle Senior would find it interesting."
“ bù shāo ， chú le nà bàn fú cáng bǎo tú ， zǔ shī yé hái chuán xià lìng wài yī jiàn bǎo wù ， wǒ xiǎng shī shū yīng gāi gǎn xìng qù de 。”
“不稍，除了那半幅藏宝图，祖师爷还传下另外一件宝物，我想师叔应该感兴趣的。”
"What is it? Don't tell me it's some broken item," Lin Xuan said coldly.
“ shì shén me ， bú yào gào sù wǒ ， yòu shì shén me cán pò zhī wù 。” lín xuān lěng xiào zhe shuō 。
“是什么，不要告诉我，又是什么残破之物。”林轩冷笑着说。
"Of course not." The woman hurried to wave her hand. Although she felt a bit reluctant, at this point, there was no room for retreat. She flicked her sleeves and a ball of red light flew out.
“ dāng rán bú shì 。” nà gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ máng bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， suī xīn zhōng yǒu diǎn bù shě ， dàn shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， yǐ róng bù dé tā hòu tuì le ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī tuán hóng guāng fēi lüè ér chū 。
“当然不是。”那宫装女子忙摆了摆手，虽心中有点不舍，但事情到了这一步，已容不得她后退了，袖袍一拂，一团红光飞掠而出。
After swirling around, the scroll floated beside the woman. It turned out to be an ancient scroll with eerie red light flashing on it.
lüè yī pán xuán fēi wǔ ， jiù xuán fú zài le nà nǚ zǐ shēn cè ， jìng shì yī fù gǔ piáo de juàn zhóu ， shàng miàn yǒu guǐ yì de hóng máng shǎn dòng 。
略一盘旋飞舞，就悬浮在了那女子身侧，竟是一副古朴的卷轴，上面有诡异的红芒闪动。
A mysterious aura poured out… "This…"
yī gǔ shén mì zhī qì pèi rán ér chū ……，“ zhè ……。”
一股神秘之气沛然而出……，“这……。”
Lin Xuan originally didn't place much importance on the treasure they mentioned, but his view changed drastically when he saw the scroll. His contempt was replaced by a sense of gravity.
yuán běn lín xuān duì tā suǒ shuō de bǎo wù ， bìng méi yǒu rú hé fàng zài xīn zhōng ， kě mù guāng chù jí nà juàn zhóu ， kàn fǎ què zhòu rán gǎi biàn le ， qīng shì yī fēn yě wú ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì níng zhòng 。
原本林轩对她所说的宝物，并没有如何放在心中，可目光触及那卷轴，看法却骤然改变了，轻视一分也无，取而代之的是凝重。
The scroll had just appeared, yet the temperature around it suddenly rose significantly. If those present were not cultivators, ordinary people would have been unable to withstand it.
nà juàn zhóu bù guò gāng gāng fú xiàn ér chū kě sì zhōu de wēn dù ， què zhòu rán shēng gāo le xǔ duō ， ruò fēi zài chǎng de jiē shì xiū xiān zhě ， ruò huàn chéng fán rén kǒng pà yǐ dǐ shòu bú zhù 。
那卷轴不过刚刚浮现而出可四周的温度，却骤然升高了许多，若非在场的皆是修仙者，若换成凡人恐怕已抵受不住。
The three demons had been observing Lin Xuan's expression and now let out a sigh of relief, putting their hearts back in their throats.
ér sān mó yì zhí guān chá zhe lín xuān de liǎn sè ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， dōu bù yóu de dà sōng le yì kǒu qì ， jiāng yuán běn tí zhe de xīn ， chóng xīn fàng huí le sǎng zi lǐ 。
而三魔一直观察着林轩的脸色，此时此刻，都不由得大松了一口气，将原本提着的心，重新放回了嗓子里。
"How about this Mountain Golden Sparrow Map? Does it still catch your eye, Uncle Senior?" the woman's smiling voice entered his ears.
“ rú hé ， shī shū jué de zhè shān yuè jīn wū tú kě hái rù nín de fǎ yǎn me ？” nà nǚ zǐ xiào yín yín de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“如何，师叔觉得这山岳金乌图可还入您的法眼么？”那女子笑吟吟的声音传入耳朵。
"Mountain Golden Sparrow Map?"
“ shān yuè jīn wū tú ？”
“山岳金乌图？”
Lin Xuan looked at the treasure before him, muttering to himself.
lín xuān kàn zhe shēn qián de bǎo wù ， nán nán zì yǔ de chóng fù 。
林轩看着身前的宝物，喃喃自语的重复。
He then raised his right hand and grabbed the scroll in his palm. Slowly unfolding it, a very ancient painting came into view.
suí hòu yòu shǒu yī tái ， yǐ jiāng nà juàn zhóu zhuā zài le zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn 。
随后右手一抬，已将那卷轴抓在了掌心里面。
A ball of red light appeared on the scroll. The most prominent feature was twelve small mountains of varying sizes.
màn màn zhǎn kāi ， yī fú jí qí gǔ piáo de huà juàn suí zhī yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
慢慢展开，一幅极其古朴的画卷随之映入了眼帘。
Unlike ordinary landscape paintings, these mountains were not emerald green or lush; rather, they could be described as towering and proud.
zhǐ jiàn yī tuán hóng máng zài nà juàn zhóu shàng fú xiàn ， huà juàn zhōng zuì wèi xiǎn yǎn de shì yī shí èr zuò dà xiǎo bù yī de xiǎo shān 。
只见一团红芒在那卷轴上浮现，画卷中最为显眼的是一十二座大小不一的小山。
Rugged rocks pierced the clouds, and the mountain surfaces were devoid of any flowers, trees, or even a hint of grass. Instead, flames burned brightly there.
rán ér yǔ pǔ tōng de shān shuǐ huà bù tóng ， zhè xiē xiǎo shān bìng bú shì cuì lǜ qīng cōng ， qià qià xiāng fǎn ， nà yī shí èr zuò shān fēng kě yòng tǐng bá gū ào lái xíng róng 。
然而与普通的山水画不同，这些小山并不是翠绿青葱，恰恰相反，那一十二座山峰可用挺拔孤傲来形容。
Volcanoes?
guài shí lín xún zhí chā rù yún xiāo zhī zhōng ， shān fēng biǎo miàn ， bié shuō huā duǒ shù mù lián yī sī zá cǎo yě wú ， dǎo shì hěn róng yì kàn jiàn huǒ yàn zài nà lǐ rán mǎo shāo zhe 。
怪石嶙峋直插入云霄之中，山峰表面，别说花朵树木连一丝杂草也无，倒是很容易看见火焰在那里燃冇烧着。
No, they were clearly different from ordinary volcanoes.
huǒ shān ？
火山？
At the foot of some mountains, strange birds could be seen circling.
bú duì ， yǔ yì bān yìn xiàng de huǒ shān míng xiǎn bù tóng 。
不对，与一般印象的火山明显不同。
These birds had peculiar shapes. They resembled crows in secular society but had three legs and golden feathers that were both noble and splendid.
ér zài shān yāo zhī chù ， kě yǐ kàn jiàn yī xiē qí guài de niǎo ér pán xuán zhe 。
而在山腰之处，可以看见一些奇怪的鸟儿盘旋着。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he saw this scene; the name of these birds was already on his lips.
nà xiē niǎo ér de xíng zhuàng jí wéi qí tè 。
那些鸟儿的形状极为奇特。
Three-legged Golden Sparrow!
yǔ shì sú de wū yā pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。
与世俗的乌鸦颇有几分相似之处。
This was also a true spirit, belonging to the bird category.
rán ér què yǒu sān zú ， ér qiě yǔ máo de yán sè nǎi shì zūn guì ér xuàn lì de jīn sè 。
然而却有三足，而且羽毛的颜色乃是尊贵而绚丽的金色。
While its divine powers might not compare to those of phoenixes, it was still extremely powerful. After all, there were only a few bird true spirits, and Three-legged Golden Sparrows could occupy one place due to their extraordinary nature.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， kàn dào zhè yí mù niǎo ér de míng zì yǐ shì hū zhī yù chū 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，看到这一幕鸟儿的名字已是呼之欲出。
What did this scroll have to do with such legendary true spirits?
sān zú jīn wū ！
三足金乌！
Lin Xuan's heart was filled with doubt as he held the scroll in both hands, injecting his power into it but receiving no reaction. He frowned.
zhè yě shì chuán shuō zhōng de zhēn líng 。
这也是传说中的真灵。
Taking a deep breath, he injected more power into it.
dāng rán ， shì guī yú fēi qín yī lèi de 。
当然，是归于飞禽一类的。
Boom!
ruò lùn qí shén tōng xuán miào zhī chù ， yǔ fèng huáng xiāng bǐ nà shì pǒ yǒu bù rú ， dàn yě shì jí wéi qiáng dà de 。
若论其神通玄妙之处，与凤凰相比那是颇有不如，但也是极为强大的。
This time, red flames flashed on the scroll, and huge characters appeared in his mind.
bì jìng niǎo lèi zhēn líng yě jiù nà me jǐ zhǒng ， sān zú jīn wū néng zhàn yī xí zhī dì yě kě yǐ kàn chū qí bù fán zhī chù 。
毕竟鸟类真灵也就那么几种，三足金乌能占一席之地也可以看出其不凡之处。
Commune Treasure Art!
yǎn qián zhè fú juàn zhóu ， jū rán huì yǒu jīn wū ， yǔ zhè zhǒng chuán shuō zhōng de zhēn líng ， yòu yǒu shén me guān xì ne ？
眼前这幅卷轴，居然绘有金乌，与这种传说中的真灵，又有什么关系呢？
It turned out to be an artifact of supreme power!
lín xuān xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le yí huò ， shuāng shǒu chí zhe juàn zhóu ， jiāng fǎ lì zhù rù rán ér què fēn háo fǎn yìng yě wú 。
林轩心中充满了疑惑，双手持着卷轴，将法力注入然而却分毫反应也无。
Although Lin Xuan's strength was at this level, ordinary postnatal treasures no longer caught his attention. A spirit cultivator of the Shen Concentration Stage could easily acquire a few postnatal treasures as self-defense items if they had the heart and were willing to spend some effort.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu 。
林轩眉头一皱。
However, he felt that this scroll was far more powerful than any postnatal treasure he had previously encountered.
shēn shēn hū xī ， jiāng gèng duō de fǎ lì zhù rù jìn qù 。
深深呼吸，将更多的法力注入进去。
Was it a primordial treasure?
hōng ！
轰！
Excitement flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. But soon, he shook his head.
zhè yī cì ， què jiàn nà juàn zhóu shàng hóng sè de huǒ yàn yī shǎn ， suí hòu dòu dà de jīn zì fú xiàn zài nǎo hǎi lǐ miàn 。
这一次，却见那卷轴上红色的火焰一闪，随后斗大的金字浮现在脑海里面。
Primordial treasures weren't something ordinary people could easily obtain.
tōng bǎo jué ！
通宝诀！
Although he hadn't seen true primordial treasures, Lin Xuan felt that this scroll was still not one of them.
zhè jū rán shì yī jiàn tōng tiān líng bǎo ！
这居然是一件通天灵宝！
At this moment, the woman in court attire spoke: "Uncle Senior, this Mountain Golden Sparrow Map is a treasure our ancestor used for self-defense. Although it's not a primordial treasure, it ranks among the top ten in postnatal treasures."
suī rán shí lì dào le lín xuān zhè ge děng jí ， yì bān de hòu tiān líng bǎo tā yǐ bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， jì rán néng dāng dà néng cún zài de chēng hū ， nà me zhǐ yào yǒu xīn ， zài huā fèi xiē jīng lì ， xiǎng yào shōu luó yī liǎng jiàn hòu tiān líng bǎo zuò wéi fáng shēn zhī wù hái shì hěn róng yì de 。
虽然实力到了林轩这个等级，一般的后天灵宝他已不放在眼里，分神期修仙者，既然能当大能存在的称呼，那么只要有心，再花费些经历，想要收罗一两件后天灵宝作为防身之物还是很容易的。
"Top ten? How high up?" Lin Xuan played with his treasure and said calmly.
rán ér lín xuān gǎn jué dào ， zhè juàn zhóu yǔ zì jǐ yǐ qián jiē chù guò de hòu tiān líng bǎo bù tóng ， yào qiáng dà tài duō tài duō 。
然而林轩感觉到，这卷轴与自己以前接触过的后天灵宝不同，要强大太多太多。
"The specifics are beyond my shallow understanding," the middle-aged man hurried to speak respectfully. "But reportedly, this item is ranked among the top ten in postnatal treasures."
nán dào shì xiān tiān líng bǎo ？
难道是先天灵宝？
"Oh?"
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò xīng mǎo fèn de guāng máng dàn hěn kuài ， jiù yáo yáo tóu fǒu le 。
林轩眼中闪过兴冇奋的光芒但很快，就摇摇头否了。
Lin Xuan's demeanor remained calm as he was already overjoyed inside. Postnatal treasures had varying strengths; their powers differed greatly. Being ranked among the top ten could be considered significant.
xiān tiān líng bǎo zhè zhǒng dōng xī kě bú shì yì bān rén néng gòu qīng yì dé dào dì 。
先天灵宝这种东西可不是一般人能够轻易得到地。
It seemed that this trip wasn't a waste after all, even without considering the half-map. Just holding such a treasure was worth it.
zhēn zhèng de xiān tiān líng bǎo tā suī rán méi yǒu jiàn guò ， bù guò lín xuān gǎn jué ， zhè juàn zhóu ， yīng gāi hái bú shì dì 。
真正的先天灵宝他虽然没有见过，不过林轩感觉，这卷轴，应该还不是地。
Lin Xuan didn't think there was any exaggeration from the other party because he had already tested it; one couldn't use this Mountain Golden Sparrow Map without reaching the Shen Concentration Stage.
ér qià zài cǐ kè ， nà gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ shī shū ， zhè shān yuè jīn wū tú ， nǎi shì zǔ shī yé xī rì de fáng shēn bǎo wù ， suī rán bú shì xiān tiān líng bǎo ， dàn zài hòu tiān líng bǎo zhī zhōng ， què shì pái míng qián liè zhī wù kǒu ”
而恰在此刻，那宫装女子的声音传入耳朵：“师叔，这山岳金乌图，乃是祖师爷昔日的防身宝物，虽然不是先天灵宝，但在后天灵宝之中，却是排名前列之物口”
This also showed how extraordinary this scroll was.
“ qián liè ， yǒu duō kào qián ne ？” lín xuān bǎ wán zhuó shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù ， dàn dàn de kāi kǒu le 。
“前列，有多靠前呢？”林轩把玩着手中的宝物，淡淡的开口了。
"Good, I'll take this scroll. Lin will naturally stand up for you. However, there's something you must tell me. Otherwise…"
“ jù tǐ de ， dì zǐ xiū wèi qiǎn bó ， bìng bú shì hěn qīng chǔ ， bù guò jù shuō ， cǐ wù zài hòu tiān líng bǎo zhōng ， pái jìn qián shí shì méi yǒu wèn tí de 。”
“具体的，弟子修为浅薄，并不是很清楚，不过据说，此物在后天灵宝中，排进前十是没有问题的。”
"What can Uncle Senior command or ask about that I won't reveal everything?" the middle-aged man spoke respectfully.
“ ó ？”
“哦？”
"Alright, then let me be straightforward. I also stayed at the main hall of Immortal Cloud Sect. The environment was decent, but not extraordinary; if lost, it's lost. Why do you need to go through so much trouble to reclaim it?" Lin Xuan said with deliberate pauses.
lín xuān biǎo miàn shàng dàn dìng rú gù ， xīn zhōng què yǐ shì dà xǐ le ， hòu tiān líng bǎo ， nà yě yǒu qiáng yǒu ruò ， bǐ cǐ jiān de wēi néng xiāng chà jí duō ， néng gòu pái jìn qián shí ， jué duì kě yǐ dāng yī jù ， liǎo bù dé 。
林轩表面上淡定如故，心中却已是大喜了，后天灵宝，那也有强有弱，彼此间的威能相差极多，能够排进前十，绝对可以当一句，了不得。
"The original thought was that Uncle Senior might doubt this, but there's nothing to worry about. It's just the ancestor's will. Moreover, the treasure map has always been enshrined in the main hall; how can we easily give up on it?" The fat ancient demon sighed and spoke helplessly into Lin Xuan's ears.
"Half of it?"
Lin Xuan frowned. "Not bad, disciple does not dare to deceive Uncle Senior. Back then, the Holy Ancestor with Three Eyes saw that things were going south and entrusted his right-hand man to help him hide treasures. The treasure map was split into two parts; half of it was kept by the ancestor as a town-protecting treasure."
