"Thank you, Senior Uncle."
cǐ nǚ dà xǐ ， yíng yíng zhàn qǐ ， chōng zhe lín xuān yī fú ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì gōng jìng zhī sè ， nà jìn zhì tā zì jǐ yě shì zhe jiě chú ， què méi yǒu fēn háo xiào guǒ ， ér lín xuān jǔ shǒu tóu zú ， jiù qīng yì huǐ qù ， liǎng zhě jiān de shí lì ， jiǎn zhí bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
此女大喜，盈盈站起，冲着林轩一福，脸上满是恭敬之色，那禁制她自己也试着解除，却没有分毫效果，而林轩举手投足，就轻易毁去，两者间的实力，简直不可同rì而语。
The woman was overjoyed and stood up gracefully. She bowed to Lin Xuan with a look of utmost respect on her face. The restrictions she tried to remove herself proved ineffective; however, they were effortlessly destroyed by Lin Xuan's movements, the disparity in their strength being incomparable.
cǐ nǚ shēn shēn hū xī ， diào dòng dān tián zhōng de fǎ lì ， zài jīng mài zhōng yùn zhuàn ， sī háo chí zhì yě wú ， zhèng míng suǒ yǒu de jìn zhì ， què shí yǐ wán quán jiě chú ， zài méi yǒu dīng diǎn cán liú shèng yú zhī wù 。
此女深深呼吸，调动丹田中的法力，在经脉中运转，丝毫迟滞也无，证明所有的禁制，确实已完全解除，再没有丁点残留剩余之物。
She took a deep breath and调动了丹田中的法力，在经脉中运转，丝毫没有迟滞，证明所有禁制确实已被完全解除，再无任何残留。
jié hòu yú shēng ， cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng mǎn shì qìng xìng ， yī kè yě bù xiǎng zài zhè lǐ duō liú ， ér lín xuān de xiǎng fǎ yě shì yī yàng de ， yǐ jīng dé dào le dà liàng de hǎo chù ， jì xù liú zài xiē wěi chéng kě jiù yǒu xiē bù zhì le ， yè cháng mèng duō ， wàn yī shāo hòu yǒu shén me biàn gù 。
劫后余生，此女脸上满是庆幸，一刻也不想在这里多留，而林轩的想法也是一样的，已经得到了大量的好处，继续留在蝎尾城可就有些不智了，夜长梦多，万一稍后有什么变故。
Surviving this ordeal, she felt relieved. She did not want to stay here any longer. Lin Xuan had the same thought; having gained much already, staying in Scorpion Tail City would be unwise. One could never tell what might happen later.
suī rán zhè yàng de dān xīn ， shí yǒu ** shì duō yú ， rán ér rú jīn de qíng kuàng ， què shí shì sān shí liù jì ， zǒu wéi shàng jì ， zhè yì diǎn jué wú kě yí 。
虽然这样的担心，十有**是多余，然而如今的情况，确实是三十六计，走为上计，这一点绝无可疑。
Although such concerns were likely unnecessary, it was clear that fleeing was the best course of action. There was no doubt about this.
liǎng rén yī pāi jí hé ， hòu miàn zì rán yě jiù méi yǒu bì yào luō suo ， jiāng chéng zhǔ fǔ xǐ jié yī kōng ， rán hòu jiù gè zhǎn shén tōng ， fēi xiàng le yuǎn jì de tiān kōng 。
两人一拍即合，后面自然也就没有必要啰嗦，将城主府洗劫一空，然后就各展神通，飞向了远际的天空。
The two agreed instantly, so there was no need for further discussion. They looted the city lord's residence and then took their leave, each displaying their own abilities to fly into the distant sky.
“ yù jiāo shī zhí ， nǐ shì zěn yàng luò zài nà xiē wěi lǎo mó shǒu zhōng de ？”
“玉娇师侄，你是怎样落在那蝎尾老魔手中的？”
"Junior Niece Yu, how did you end up in the clutches of that Scorpion Tail Old Demon?"
suī rán lín xuān bú shì shén me bā guà de rén wù ， bù guò zhè zhǒng shì qíng ， zì jǐ jì rán yù shàng le ， dāng rán hái shì yào wèn shàng yī wèn 。
虽然林轩不是什么八卦的人物，不过这种事情，自己既然遇上了，当然还是要问上一问。
Although Lin Xuan wasn't a gossip, he had to ask since this was his encounter.
lín yù jiāo tīng le ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī àn rán zhī sè ， qīng qīng tàn le kǒu qì 。
林玉娇听了，脸上露出一丝黯然之色，轻轻叹了口气。
Upon hearing this, Yu Jiao's face showed a hint of sadness as she sighed softly. "A few months ago, while searching for spirit herbs, I inadvertently revealed my true form. The Scorpion Tail old monster saw me and, driven by lust, captured me."
“ shī zhí shù yuè qián xún fǎng líng yào de shí hòu ， wú yì jiān xiǎn lù le zhēn róng ， bèi nà xiē wěi lǎo guài kàn jiàn le ， yú shì tā sè xīn dà dòng ， chū shǒu jiāng wǒ qín chá ”，…”
“师侄数月前寻访灵药的时候，无意间显露了真容，被那蝎尾老怪看见了，于是他色心大动，出手将我擒茶”，…”
"Ah, I see." Lin Xuan did not show much emotion; he was just casually inquiring.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。” lín xuān méi yǒu duō yú de biǎo shì ， tā yě jiù zhǐ shì suí biàn yī wèn ér yǐ 。
“原来如此。”林轩没有多余的表示，他也就只是随便一问而已。
Unlike his indifference, a glint appeared in the girl's eyes as she looked at Lin Xuan's gentle face. She finally bit her lip and spoke: "Senior Uncle, how did you advance? It took only a century for you to progress from Profound Obscurity to Spirit Separation Stage. Surely, Senior Uncle must have had some incredible experiences."
yǔ tā de mò bù guān xīn bù tóng ， shào nǚ yǎn zhōng què yǒu yì máng shǎn dòng wàng zhe lín xuān wēn hé de miàn róng ， zhōng yú yī yǎo yá de kāi kǒu ：“ shī shū nín ne ， yòu shì rú hé jìn jí ， duǎn duǎn de bǎi yú zài jiù yóu dòng xuán chéng gōng mài rù le fēn shén qī xiǎng bì shī shū shì yǒu yī fān jīng tiān dòng dì de qí yù 。”
与他的漠不关心不同，少女眼中却有异芒闪动望着林轩温和的面容，终于一咬牙的开口：“师叔您呢，又是如何晋级，短短的百余载就由洞玄成功迈入了分神期想必师叔是有一番惊天动地的奇遇。”
"Indeed, I was fortunate," said Lin Xuan with a smile. He kept his humility as his principle; even though he was now a powerful Spirit Separation stage cultivator, he would not forget himself. He casually dismissed the matter and did not need to elaborate on all the wonders that happened after arriving in the Demon World.
“ lín mǒu què shí yǒu xiē jī yuán bù cuò ， dàn shī zhí nǐ de gōng wéi wèi miǎn yǒu xiē tài guò le 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō dī diào shì tā de yuán zé ， jí biàn chéng wéi le fēn shén qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān yě jué bú huì wàng hū suǒ yǐ tā suí kǒu fū yǎn le liǎng jù ， guān yú zì jǐ lái mó jiè hòu de zhǒng zhǒng qí yù méi bì yào yǔ lín yù 、 jiāo shuō dé nà me xiáng xì ……。
“林某确实有些机缘不错，但师侄你的恭维未免有些太过了。”林轩微笑着说低调是他的原则，即便成为了分神期的大能修仙者，林轩也绝不会忘乎所以他随口敷衍了两句，关于自己来魔界后的种种奇遇没必要与林玉、娇说得那么详细……。
The woman understood and did not press further.
cǐ nǚ dāng rán yě bú huì bù zhī qù de zhuī wèn xià qù 。
此女当然也不会不知趣的追问下去。
Their遁光 extremely swift, they soon flew over ten thousand miles.
liǎng rén dùn guāng jí wéi xùn sù ， hěn kuài jiù fēi chū le shí yú wàn lǐ 。
两人遁光极为迅速，很快就飞出了十余万里。
Lin Xuan's figure became blurry before stopping. Although Yu Jiao was somewhat confused, she naturally followed suit.
lín xuān shēn xíng yī zhèn mó hú suí hòu zài yuán dì tíng xià lái le ， lín yù jiāo suī rán yǒu xiē bù míng suǒ yǐ ， dàn zì rán shì yǒu yàng xué yàng dì 。
林轩身形一阵模糊随后在原地停下来了，林玉娇虽然有些不明所以，但自然是有样学样地。
"Senior Uncle, what is wrong?"
“ shī shū zěn me le ？”
“师叔怎么了？”
"Junior Niece Yu, I still have some matters to attend to. Let us part here," said Lin Xuan calmly. He had not forgotten his purpose for coming here: the Ice Flame Valley.
“ yù jiāo shī zhí ， lín mǒu hái yǒu xiē shì qíng yào zuò ， nǐ wǒ jiù zài zhè lǐ fēn shǒu rú hé ？” lín xuān shén sè píng jìng de kāi kǒu le ， tā kě méi yǒu wàng jì ， zì jǐ lái cǐ chù de mù dì ， shì wèi le nà bīng yán gǔ 。
“玉娇师侄，林某还有些事情要做，你我就在这里分手如何？”林轩神色平静的开口了，他可没有忘记，自己来此处的目的，是为了那冰炎谷。
"Agreed."
“ hǎo 。”
“好。”
To her surprise, she did not ask any more questions but instead bowed respectfully to Lin Xuan with a grateful expression on her face. "I will never forget your life-saving grace. The Demon World is dangerous; although Senior Uncle has great abilities, please be careful."
chū hū yù liào ， cǐ nǚ bìng méi yǒu zhuī wèn shén me ， zhǐ shì gān cuì yì cháng de xiàng lín xuān fú le yī fú ， liǎn shàng dài zhe gǎn jī zhī sè ：“ shī shū de jiù mìng zhī ēn ， dì zǐ yǒng yuǎn bú huì wàng jì ， mó jiè wēi xiǎn biàn dì ， suī rán shī shū shén tōng liǎo de ， dàn yě qǐng duō jiā xiǎo xīn 。”
出乎预料，此女并没有追问什么，只是干脆异常的像林轩福了一福，脸上带着感激之色：“师叔的救命之恩，弟子永远不会忘记，魔界危险遍地，虽然师叔神通了得，但也请多加小心。”
"I understand. Take care of yourself as well," said Lin Xuan.
“ lín mǒu xiǎo de ， nǐ zì jǐ yě hǎo hǎo bǎo zhòng 。”
“林某晓得，你自己也好好保重。”
He nodded at the girl and then surrounded himself in a green glow before vanishing from sight.
lín xuān chōng shào nǚ diǎn le diǎn tóu ， suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， jǐ gè shǎn shuò ， jiù yǐ zài shì xiàn zhōng xiāo shī le zōng jì 。
林轩冲少女点了点头，随后浑身青芒大起，几个闪烁，就已在视线中消失了踪迹。
Sighing, Yu Jiao realized she was envious but quickly regained her composure. As they say, one should know when to be content; escaping the Scorpion Tail Master's grasp was already fortunate enough.
“ āi ！”
“唉！”
Moreover, great misfortunes often bring good fortune. It would be better to focus on finding treasures for refining a Spirit Separation Pill rather than envy Senior Uncle Lin.
lín yù jiāo tàn le kǒu qì ， ruò shuō bù xiàn mù nà shì piàn rén dì ， bù guò hěn kuài ， tā de biǎo qíng yòu píng jìng xià qù ， sú huà shuō ， rén yào zhī zú ， zì jǐ néng cóng xiē wěi shàng rén de shǒu zhōng táo tuō ， nà yǐ jīng shì hěn xìng yùn le 。
林玉娇叹了口气，若说不羡慕那是骗人地，不过很快，她的表情又平静下去，俗话说，人要知足，自己能从蝎尾上人的手中逃脱，那已经是很幸运了。
Meanwhile, as the sun began to set, Lin Xuan finally arrived at the Ice Flame Valley.
hé kuàng dà nàn bù sǐ bì yǒu hòu fú ， yǔ qí zài zhè lǐ xiàn mù lín shī shū ， bù rú nǔ lì xún zhǎo liàn zhì fēn shén dān de bǎo wù 。
何况大难不sǐ必有后福，与其在这里羡慕林师叔，不如努力寻找炼制分神丹的宝物。
Surveying the vast mountains before him, his eyes narrowed and his expression grew serious. As one of Black Flame State's most notorious forbidden areas, the dangers here were obvious.
zài shuō lìng yī biān ， dāng tài yáng kuài yào là xià shān pō ， lín xuān zhōng yú yě lái dào le bīng yán gǔ 。
再说另一边，当太阳快要落下山坡，林轩终于也来到了冰炎谷。
While he did not dwell on the outer valley for now, the inner valley was said to be so perilous that even Spirit Separation stage cultivators could fall prey to it. Although Lin Xuan had great confidence in his abilities, entering without caution would still be risky.
wàng zhuó yǎn qián cāng máng de shān mài ， lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， biǎo qíng yě níng zhòng xià qù ， zuò wéi hēi yán zhōu zuì zhù míng de jìn dì ， zhè ér de wēi xiǎn shì kě xiǎng ér zhī dì 。
望着眼前苍茫的山脉，林轩眼睛微眯，表情也凝重下去，作为黑炎州最著名的禁地，这儿的危险是可想而知地。
Nevertheless, as they say, fortune favors the bold. Since fate had unexpectedly provided him with a map, he couldn't let such an opportunity pass. How dangerous could Ice Flame Valley be when compared to the perils of his journey so far?
wài gǔ zàn qiě bù tí ， qiě tán nà nèi gǔ ， chuán shuō jiù suàn shì fēn shén qī de dà néng ， yě yǒu kě néng zài lǐ miàn yǔn mù ， lín xuān suī rán duì zì jǐ de shén tōng xìn xīn shí zú ， dàn mào rán jìn rù ， wēi xiǎn yě shì kě xiǎng ér zhī de 。
外谷暂且不提，且谈那内谷，传说就算是分神期的大能，也有可能在里面陨幕，林轩虽然对自己的神通信心十足，但冒然进入，危险也是可想而知的。
As long as he remained cautious, Lin Xuan believed he would successfully retrieve the treasures.
bù guò sú huà shuō ， fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú ， shàng tiān jì rán ràng zì jǐ yì wài còu qí le cáng bǎo tú ， zì jǐ yòu zěn me kě néng jiāng zhè me hǎo de jī huì bái bái fàng guò ， bīng yán gǔ zài wēi xiǎn yòu rú hé ， zì cóng tà rù xiū xiān zhī lù ， zì jǐ jīng lì de wēi xiǎn nán dào hái shǎo me ？
不过俗话说，富贵险中求，上天既然让自己意外凑齐了藏宝图，自己又怎么可能将这么好的机会白白放过，冰炎谷再危险又如何，自从踏入修仙之路，自己经历的危险难道还少么？
However, it was late in the day. Although night did not hinder his vision, the dangers would certainly increase. Weighing the pros and cons, he decided to rest for a while; it wouldn't matter if he waited another night.
zhǐ yào xiǎo xīn yī xiē ， lín xuān xiāng xìn néng gòu shùn lì qǔ dào bǎo wù 。
只要小心一些，林轩相信能够顺利取到宝物。
The night passed uneventfully.
bù guò rú jīn tiān sè yǐ wǎn ， suī rán duì yú xiū xiān zhě ér yán ， wǎn shàng yī yàng néng gòu shì wù ， bù guò jiù yì bān de qíng kuàng lái shuō ， hēi yè huì ràng wēi xiǎn dà zēng xǔ duō 。
不过如今天色已晚，虽然对于修仙者而言，晚上一样能够视物，不过就一般的情况来说，黑夜会让危险大增许多。
The next morning, as soon as the sun rose high, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the depths of the vast mountains.
quán héng lì bì ， lín xuān jué dìng zàn qiě xiē xī ， fǎn zhèng yě bú shì hěn zháo jí ， duō děng shàng yī wǎn ， bìng méi yǒu shén me guān xì 。
权衡利弊，林轩决定暂且歇息，反正也不是很着急，多等上一晚，并没有什么关系。
Although he did not use his full speed, his flight was still very fast. It wasn’t that Lin Xuan was overconfident; for a Spirit Separation stage cultivator like him, the outer valley posed little threat, while the inner valley held far more dangers.
yī yè wú shì 。
一夜无事。
While caution was wise, it had its limits. Even daring元婴期 beings dared to search for treasures in the outer valley. If he showed excessive cowardice, it would be rather amusing.
dì èr tiān yī zǎo ， tài yáng gāng gāng gāo guà yú tiān kōng ， lín xuān jiù huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， fēi xiàng le qián miàn cāng máng dà shān de shēn chù 。
第二天一早，太阳刚刚高挂于天空，林轩就化为一道惊虹，飞向了前面苍茫大山的深处。
On his journey, he encountered some demons, but their low levels posed no real threat.
tā suī rán méi yǒu dùn sù quán kāi ， dàn fēi xíng de sù dù ， nà yě shì fēi cháng zhī kuài ， bìng bú shì lín xuān tuō dà ， ér shì duì yú tā zhè yàng de fēn shén qī dà néng lái shuō ， bīng yán gǔ de nèi gǔ ， gù rán shì wēi jī chóng chóng ， dàn jǐn jiù wài gǔ lái shuō ， néng gòu wēi xié dào tā de cún zài ， qū zhǐ kě shǔ 。
他虽然没有遁速全开，但飞行的速度，那也是非常之快，并不是林轩托大，而是对于他这样的分神期大能来说，冰炎谷的内谷，固然是危机重重，但仅就外谷来说，能够威胁到他的存在，屈指可数。
Nevertheless, Lin Xuan found some treasures, though they held little value to him compared to the spirit herbs that seemed invaluable to others. However, with his current mission, these lower-grade herbs were of no concern.
xiǎo xīn jǐn shèn gù rán méi cuò ， dàn fán shì zǒng yǒu gè dù ， zhè bīng yán gǔ de wài gǔ ， biàn shì nà xiē dà dǎn de yuán yīng qī cún zài ， yě gǎn lái zhè lǐ xún zhǎo bǎo wù ， rú guǒ zì jǐ biǎo xiàn dé tài guò dǎn xiǎo rú shǔ ， wèi miǎn yǒu xiē yě tài gǎo xiào le 。
小心谨慎固然没错，但凡事总有个度，这冰炎谷的外谷，便是那些大胆的元婴期存在，也敢来这里寻找宝物，如果自己表现得太过胆小如鼠，未免有些也太搞笑了。
Since there was nothing blocking his path, he reached the outer and inner valley junction in half a day.
yī lù shàng ， yě yù jiàn zi yī xiē mó wù ， rán ér duì lín xuān lái shuō ， děng jí tài dī ， bìng bù néng duì tā xíng chéng wēi xié chè zhǒu 。
一路上，也遇见子一些魔物，然而对林轩来说，等级太低，并不能对他形成威胁掣肘。
The Ice Flame Valley's terrain was unique; the inner and outer valleys did not connect directly but through a narrow valley.
dāng rán ， lín xuān yě fā xiàn le yī xiē bǎo wù ， rán ér tóng yàng de dào lǐ ， nà xiē líng yào zài yuán yīng ， shèn zhì lí hé jí bié de cún zài yǎn zhōng ， huò xǔ dōu fēi cháng liǎo de ， kě zài lín xuān kàn lái ， zuò yòng què jiù wēi hū qí wēi le ， suī shuō wén zi tuǐ zài xiǎo yě shì ròu ， huàn yí gè shí jiān ， yě xǔ lín xuān tóng yàng huì jiāng tā men cǎi zhāi yī kōng 。
当然，林轩也发现了一些宝物，然而同样的道理，那些灵药在元婴，甚至离合级别的存在眼中，或许都非常了得，可在林轩看来，作用却就微乎其微了，虽说蚊子腿再小也是肉，换一个时间，也许林轩同样会将它们采摘一空。
This valley was over a hundred feet long with its widest point being only three feet. It could accommodate only one person at a time.
rán ér rú jīn qíng kuàng bù tóng ， lín xuān yào máng zhe qù wā jué sān yǎn shèng zǔ de bǎo wù ， zhè xiē dī děng jí de líng yào ， zì rán yě jiù gù bù shàng le 。
然而如今情况不同，林轩要忙着去挖掘三眼圣祖的宝物，这些低等级的灵药，自然也就顾不上了。
Millions of years ago, two factions fought here, completely altering the environment. The space itself became unstable, and once entering this narrow valley, one would be swallowed by spatial rifts.
yóu yú yī lù shàng méi yǒu yù jiàn shén me zǔ gé ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān zhǐ huā fèi le bàn tiān de gōng fu ， jiù yǐ jīng lái dào nèi gǔ yǔ wài gǔ de jiāo jiē zhī chù 。
由于一路上没有遇见什么阻隔，所以林轩只花费了半天的功夫，就已经来到内谷与外谷的交接之处。
However, these spatial rifts were different; instead of danger, they functioned like a teleportation array, sending cultivators into the inner valley of Ice Flame Valley.
bīng yán gǔ dì xíng tè shū ， nèi gǔ yǔ wài gǔ bìng bú shì zhí jiē xiāng tōng de ， ér shì yào tōng guò yī xiá cháng de shān gǔ 。
冰炎谷地形特殊，内谷与外谷并不是直接相通的，而是要通过一狭长的山谷。
Lin Xuan had read enough ancient texts to know this. Without hesitation, he entered the narrow valley.
"Thank you, Senior Uncle."
The woman was overjoyed and stood up gracefully. She bowed to Lin Xuan with a look of utmost respect on her face. The restrictions she tried to remove herself proved ineffective; however, they were effortlessly destroyed by Lin Xuan's movements, the disparity in their strength being incomparable.
She took a deep breath and调动了丹田中的法力，在经脉中运转，丝毫没有迟滞，证明所有禁制确实已被完全解除，再无任何残留。
