. 听林轩这样说，北海真君流lù出一丝自得，小小一分神期修仙者，料来也不敢不识好歹违逆自己命令的。「域名请大家熟知」
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, the True Monarch of Northern Sea exuded a trace of self-satisfaction. A mere spirit division cultivator like him surely wouldn't dare defy his orders. "Everyone should know about this domain."
suī rán lín xuān xiàn zài hǎo dà de míng qì ， rán ér zài dù jié qī cún zài yǎn lǐ ， gēn běn jiù méi shén me liǎo bù qǐ 。
虽然林轩现在好大的名气，然而在渡劫期存在眼里，根本就没什么了不起。
Although Lin Xuan had gained quite a reputation now, to the eyes of those who had passed through the Tribulation Realm, he was nothing special.
dǎ bài tiān jué nà jiā huo yòu rú hé ， dù jié yǔ fēn shén jiān de chā jù ， gēn běn jiù bù kě yǐ dào lǐ jì ， duì dù jié qī xiū shì lái shuō ， bù lùn shì lín xuān hái shì tiān jué ， dōu bù guò shì lóu yǐ 。
打败天绝那家伙又如何，渡劫与分神间的差距，根本就不可以道理计，对渡劫期修士来说，不论是林轩还是天绝，都不过是蝼蚁。
Defeating that fellow named Heaven's End meant what? The gap between Tribulation Transcendence and Spirit Division stages couldn't be measured by mere logic. To a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator, Lin Xuan and Heaven's End were merely ants.
zhǐ jiàn lín xuān shēn shǒu yī pāi ， líng guāng yào yǎn ， suí hòu yī xiǎo qiǎo de yù píng ， jiù fú xiàn yú yǎn lián 。
只见林轩伸手一拍，灵光耀眼，随后一小巧的yù瓶，就浮现于眼帘。
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand, and the light shone brilliantly before a small jade bottle appeared in front of everyone.
“ qián bèi shuō de ， kě shì cǐ wù ， wǎn bèi yǔ tiān jué yī zhàn ， jiù shì kào tā jiāng fǎ lì bǔ mǎn 。” lín xuān bì gōng bì jìng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， miàn duì zhè zhǒng děng jí de lǎo guài wù ， biàn shì tā ， yě sī háo bù gǎn qīng hū ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， shuō rú lǚ bó bīng ， nà shì yì diǎn yě méi yǒu cuò 。
“前辈说的，可是此物，晚辈与天绝一战，就是靠牠将法力补满。”林轩毕恭毕敬的声音传入耳朵，面对这种等级的老怪物，便是他，也丝毫不敢轻忽，此时此刻，说如履薄冰，那是一点也没有错。
"Is it this item? This is what I relied on to replenish my power after fighting against Heaven's End." Lin Xuan's respectful voice echoed. Even he didn't dare to be careless when facing such an old monster. At that moment, saying he was walking on thin ice wasn't an exaggeration.
“ ń ， dài lǎo fū kàn kàn rú hé ？”
“嗯，待老夫看看如何？”
"Hmm, let me take a look."
běi hǎi zhēn jūn huà shì zhè me shuō ， qí shí yì diǎn yě méi yǒu zhēng xún lín xuān de yì tú ， yòu shǒu wēi tái ， nà yù píng fǎng fú bèi yī gǔ bù qǐ yǎn de lì liàng qiān yǐn zhe ， fēi dào le tā de shǒu xīn lǐ miàn 。
北海真君话是这么说，其实一点也没有征询林轩的意图，右手微抬，那yù瓶仿佛被一股不起眼的力量牵引着，飞到了他的手心里面。
Although the True Monarch of Northern Sea said so, he had no intention of consulting Lin Xuan's intentions. He raised his right hand slightly, and the jade bottle seemed to be drawn by some unseen force into his palm.
lǎo guài wù bǎ wán zhe cǐ wù ， suí hòu qīng qīng yī dǒu ， jiāng píng sāi bá kāi ， qìn rén xīn pí de xiāng wèi ér sàn fà chū lái ， mí màn zhì zhěng gè dà diàn 。
老怪物把玩着此物，随后轻轻一抖，将瓶塞拔开，沁人心脾的香味儿散发出来，弥漫至整个大殿。
The old monster toyed with this item for a moment before gently shaking it, uncorking it, and allowing an intoxicating fragrance to spread throughout the grand hall. Lin Xuan's heart raced as he feared that the True Monarch might discern something from the refined spirit milk.
lín xuān de xīn yě tí dào le sǎng zi yǎn 。
林轩的心也提到了嗓子眼。
Although such a possibility was low, his mind couldn't help but feel tense. Worry indeed made one act erratically.
zhè wàn nián líng rǔ nǎi shì tí chún zhī wù ， lín xuān shēng pà tā cóng zhōng ， kàn chū xiē xǔ duān ní 。
这万年灵rǔ乃是提纯之物，林轩生怕他从中，看出些许端倪。
The True Monarch of Northern Sea sniffed and then his expression changed dramatically. A hint of狂喜 (ecstatic joy) flashed in his eyes before he lowered his head to examine the contents within. Lin Xuan could see that this old monster's body was trembling, indicating how agitated his emotions were at that moment.
suī rán zhè zhǒng kě néng xìng hěn dī ， dàn xīn zhōng duō shǎo hái shì yǒu nà me jǐ fēn jǐn zhāng dì ， guān xīn zé luàn jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ 。
虽然这种可能性很低，但心中多少还是有那么几分紧张地，关心则luàn就是这个道理。
After several breaths, the True Monarch of Northern Sea finally raised his head. However, compared to his initial excitement, disappointment clearly showed on his face.
běi hǎi zhēn jūn xiù le xiù bí zi ， suí hòu biǎo qíng dà biàn ， yǐn yǐn yǒu kuáng xǐ zhī sè shǎn xiàn yǔ tā de shuāng móu ， suí hòu dī chuí xià tou ， kāi shǐ fēn biàn zhè píng zhōng de shì wù ， lín xuān kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， zhè wèi dù jié qī lǎo guài wù shēn tǐ yǒu diǎn dǒu ， kě xiǎng ér zhī ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā de xīn qíng ， shì duō me de jī dòng 。 qì : wú guǎng gào 、 quán wén zì 、 gèng
北海真君嗅了嗅鼻子，随后表情大变，隐隐有狂喜之sè闪现与他的双眸，随后低垂下头，开始分辨这瓶中的事物，林轩看得清清楚楚，这位渡劫期老怪物身体有点抖，可想而知，此时此刻，他的心情，是多么的jī动。器:无广告、全文字、更
Even with his fox-like intellect, Lin Xuan found himself somewhat puzzled at this point.
zú zú guò le shí jǐ xī de gōng fu 。 běi hǎi zhēn jūn cái tái qǐ tóu ， rán ér yǔ gāng gāng de xīng fèn xiāng bǐ 。 tā de liǎn shàng què míng xiǎn liú lù chū jǐ fēn shī wàng zhī sè。
足足过了十几息的功夫。北海真君才抬起头，然而与刚刚的兴奋相比。他的脸上却明显流lù出几分失望之sè。
But he didn't dwell on it too much because the answer would soon be revealed without him needing to guess.
ráo shì lín xuān xīn zhì rú hú 。 cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě yǒu xiē nòng bù dǒng 。
饶是林轩心智如狐。此时此刻，也有些nòng不懂。
"Ah!"
bù guò tā yě méi yǒu qù duō xiǎng shén me 。 yīn wèi bù yòng zì jǐ chuǎi mó 。 mí dǐ yě shì hěn kuài jiù huì jiē xiǎo de 。
不过他也没有去多想什么。因为不用自己揣摩。谜底也是很快就会揭晓的。
A sigh echoed through the hall. The emotions behind it were complex: "Sure enough, it's True Void Spirit Milk. A pity it's just a substandard item."
“ āi ！”
“唉！”
"What is True Void Spirit Milk? It must be some precious treasure," Lin Xuan scratched his head in confusion. This expression wasn't feigned; he had heard of such things before, but the term "True Void Spirit Milk" was new to him.
tàn xī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn de gǎn qíng què fù zá dào jí chù ：“ guǒ rán shì tài xū líng rǔ， kě xī jǐn jǐn shì cì pǐn zhī wù 。”
叹息声传入耳朵，里面的感情却复杂到极处：“果然是太虚灵rǔ，可惜仅仅是次品之物。”
"Hmph. I heard from Jingkong and others about your battle with that fellow Heaven's End…" The other didn't directly answer Lin Xuan's question but continued speaking: "Your strength is commendable, but you ultimately won because of this precious item. Just one drop can instantly replenish your power. Jingkong and the others are shallow in their understanding; they guessed it might be Nine Heavens Immortal Dew."
“ tài xū líng rǔ， nà shì shén me bǎo wù ？”
“太虚灵rǔ，那是什么宝物？”
The four elders of Star Moon City were deemed to have shallow understandings by him, which Lin Xuan found strange but understandable given his age.
lín xuān náo le náo tóu ， yī liǎn de míhuò， zhè biǎo qíng què bìng fēi kè yì jiǎ zhuāng lái zhe ， tā jiàn wén suī rán guǎng bó ， dàn zhè suǒ wèi de tài xū líng rǔ， yī jiù shì dì yī cì tīng shuō 。
林轩挠了挠头，一脸的míhuò，这表情却并非刻意假装来着，他见闻虽然广博，但这所谓的太虚灵rǔ，依旧是第一次听说。
"How rare is that Nine Heavens Immortal Dew? Even for us Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, it's hard to come across. One can only hope for a great opportunity to get even one or two drops of it. How could an ordinary spirit division cultivator have such luck?
“ hēng 。 wǒ tīng jìng kōng tā men jǐ gè ， shuō le nǐ yǔ tiān jué nà xiǎo jiā huo jué dòu de jīng guò ……” duì fāng què bìng méi yǒu zhèng miàn huí dá tā shén me ， ér shì zì gù zì de wǎng xià shuō ：“ nǐ xiǎo zi shí lì suī rán shàng kě ， dàn zuì zhōng néng qǔ shèng kào de què shì zhè píng bǎo wù ， zhǐ xū yào yī dī ， jiù néng gòu shùn jiān huī fù fǎ lì ， jìng kōng tā men jǐ gè jiàn shí qiǎn bó ， dōu cāi cè shì jiǔ tiān xiān lù。”
“哼。我听静空他们几个，说了你与天绝那小家伙决斗的经过……”对方却并没有正面回答他什么，而是自顾自的往下说：“你小子实力虽然尚可，但最终能取胜靠的却是这瓶宝物，只需要一滴，就能够瞬间恢复法力，静空他们几个见识浅薄，都猜测是九天仙lù。”
Pausing, the other continued: "But if it were just regular ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk, a single drop wouldn't be enough to replenish a spirit division cultivator's power. That’s why I was speculating that you might have had some good fortune and obtained True Void Spirit Milk."
xīng yuè chéng sì dà zhǎng lǎo bèi tā píng wèi jiàn shí qiǎn bó ， lín xuān tīng qǐ lái guài guài de ， bù guò yǎn qián de lǎo jiā huǒ ， què rán yǒu zhè ge zī gé ， néng gòu jìn jiē dào dù jié qī ， tiān zhī dào tā yòu huó le yǒu duō shǎo nián le 。
星月城四大长老被他评为见识浅薄，林轩听起来怪怪的，不过眼前的老家伙，确然有这个资格，能够进阶到渡劫期，天知道他又活了有多少年了。
"True Void Spirit Milk?"
“ jiǔ tiān xiān lù shì hé děng bǎo wù ， biàn shì wǒ děng dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， yě kě yù ér bù kě qiú ， chú fēi yǒu dà jī yuán zhě ， cái yǒu kě néng jī yuán qiǎo hé ， dé dào nà me yī dī liǎng dī xiān lù， qū qū fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， yòu zěn me kě néng yǒu nà yàng de hǎo yùn ne ？
“九天仙lù是何等宝物，便是我等渡劫期修仙者，也可遇而不可求，除非有大机缘者，才有可能机缘巧合，得到那么一滴两滴仙lù，区区分神期修仙者，又怎么可能有那样的好运呢？
"Yes, although it is an extraordinary treasure, its quantity is greater than Nine Heavens Immortal Dew. Even for spirit division cultivators, they can occasionally obtain this item."
duì fāng shuō dào zhè lǐ dùn le yī dùn ， suí hòu yòu jiē zhe wǎng xià shuō ：“ bù guò ruò zhǐ shì pǔ tōng de wàn nián líng rǔ， jǐn jǐn yī dī ， jué méi yǒu kě yǐ huī fù fēn shén qī xiū shì fǎ lì de dào lǐ ， suǒ yǐ lǎo fū dāng shí biàn zài chuǎi mó ， nǐ shì bú shì yùn qì hǎo ， dé dào le yì diǎn tài xū líng rǔ。”
对方说道这里顿了一顿，随后又接着往下说：“不过若只是普通的万年灵rǔ，仅仅一滴，绝没有可以恢复分神期修士法力的道理，所以老夫当时便在揣摩，你是不是运气好，得到了一点太虚灵rǔ。”
"Oh, then what are the effects of True Void Spirit Milk?"
“ tài xū líng rǔ？”
“太虚灵rǔ？”
Lin Xuan's persistent voice echoed.
“ bù cuò ， suī rán nà yě shì jí wéi liǎo bù qǐ de bǎo wù ， dàn shù liàng bì jìng bǐ jiǔ tiān xiān lù yào duō shàng yī xiē de ， jí biàn fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， ǒu ěr yě néng dé dào cǐ bǎo 。”
“不错，虽然那也是极为了不起的宝物，但数量毕竟比九天仙lù要多上一些的，即便分神期修仙者，偶尔也能得到此宝。”
"Hmph, what do you think? It’s just like ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk or even a more potent version. The spiritual energy within is much deeper; one drop can replenish your power as a spirit division cultivator. Even for us Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, a small sip would suffice."
“ ó ， nà tài xū líng rǔ de xiào guǒ shì shén me ？”
“哦，那太虚灵rǔ的效果是什么？”
"Unfortunately, this substandard item in your hands has less spiritual energy than the genuine True Void Spirit Milk. If I were on my last breath, I’d need to drink it all."
lín xuān xún gēn jiū dǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
林轩寻根究底的声音传入耳朵。
Lin Xuan nodded, finally understanding why the old monster's expression was so peculiar—excited yet disappointed.
“ hēng ， nà hái yòng wèn me ， yǔ wàn nián líng rǔ shì yī yàng de ， huò zhě ， nǐ gēn běn jiù kě yǐ bǎ tā dàng chéng shì jiā qiáng bǎn de wàn nián líng rǔ， lǐ miàn yùn hán de líng lì yào shēn hòu dé duō ， yī dī jiù kě yǐ bǔ mǎn fēn shén qī xiū shì de fǎ lì ， jí biàn shì lǎo fū zhè yàng de dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， hē shàng yī xiǎo kǒu yě jiù gòu le 。”
“哼，那还用问么，与万年灵rǔ是一样的，或者，你根本就可以把牠当成是加强版的万年灵rǔ，里面蕴含的灵力要深厚得多，一滴就可以补满分神期修士的法力，即便是老夫这样的渡劫期修仙者，喝上一小口也就够了。”
Just as Lin Xuan pondered how to respond, the other changed the subject: "Fortunately, this bottle of True Void Spirit Milk has sufficient quantity despite its lower quality. It will still be useful for me. Do you have any more?"
“ kě xī nǐ shǒu zhōng zhè píng nǎi shì cì pǐn zhī wù ， lǐ miàn yùn hán de líng lì ， jiù yào bǐ zhēn zhèng de tài xū líng rǔ shāo xùn yī chóu ， lǎo fū ruò shì yóu jǐn dēng kū ， zhì shǎo xū yào hē shàng yī zhěng kǒu 。”
“可惜你手中这瓶乃是次品之物，里面蕴含的灵力，就要比真正的太虚灵rǔ稍逊一筹，老夫若是油尽灯枯，至少需要喝上一整口。”
"None."
xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， zhè cái míng bái ， duì fāng de biǎo qíng wèi hé rú cǐ gǔ guài ， sì hū hěn xīn xǐ ， dàn yòu míng xiǎn dài zhe jǐ fēn shī wàng zhī yì 。
轩点了点头，这才明白，对方的表情为何如此古怪，似乎很欣喜，但又明显带着几分失望之意。
Lin Xuan sighed. "I obtained this by chance and only have one bottle. After using a few drops, the rest is here."
lín xuān zhèng gū liáng zhe gāi zěn me shuō ， duì fāng què yòu huà fēng yī zhuǎn le ：“ hǎo zài nǐ shǒu zhōng zhè píng tài xū líng rǔ， pǐn zhì suī rán chà le yī xiē ， dàn shù liàng què shì zú gòu chōng zú ， duì lǎo fū yī jiù shì yǒu dà yòng de ， nǐ hái yǒu me ？”
林轩正估量着该怎么说，对方却又话锋一转了：“好在你手中这瓶太虚灵rǔ，品质虽然差了一些，但数量却是足够充足，对老夫依旧是有大用的，你还有么？”
"Hmm."
“ méi le 。”
“没了。”
The True Monarch of Northern Sea nodded without doubt. Although True Void Spirit Milk wasn't as rare as Nine Heavens Immortal Dew, its quantity was still extremely limited. Even for such powerful beings, obtaining even one bottle was no easy feat. Lin Xuan likely didn't have more.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ：“ wǎn bèi jī yuán qiǎo hé ， yě zhǐ dé dào zhè me yī píng ér yǐ ， chú le yǐ jīng yòng diào de shù dī ， qí yú de quán zài zhè lǐ 。”
林轩叹了口气：“晚辈机缘巧合，也只得到这么一瓶而已，除了已经用掉的数滴，其余的全在这里。”
Regardless, this收获 (gathering) was already good enough; a single bottle of True Void Spirit Milk could restore his power several times over. In critical moments, it would be a lifesaver.
“ ń 。”
“嗯。”
Don’t think that Tribulation Transcendence old monsters can live forever. Although their lifespans are incredibly long, they do have limits. In this cultivation realm, though the dangers facing them were few, encountering one could still result in their downfall.
běi hǎi zhēn jūn diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng bìng wú huái yí zhī sè， tài xū líng rǔ suī rán bù xiàng jiǔ tiān xiān lù nà yàng ， nǎi shì xiān jiā zhī wù ， dàn shù liàng yī jiù shì jí qí xī shǎo de ， bié shuō zhè xiǎo zi le ， jiù suàn shì tā men zhè děng jìng jiè de dà néng ， dé dào yī píng yě bù róng yì ， xiǎng lái zhè lín xiǎo zi yě bù kě néng yǒu gèng duō dì 。
北海真君点了点头，脸上并无怀疑之sè，太虚灵rǔ虽然不像九天仙lù那样，乃是仙家之物，但数量依旧是极其稀少的，别说这小子了，就算是他们这等境界的大能，得到一瓶也不容易，想来这林小子也不可能有更多地。
Overjoyed by obtaining True Void Spirit Milk, the True Monarch of Northern Sea waved his sleeve and stored it away. However, he didn’t forcefully take; instead, he said with a low voice: "Young Lin, exchange this item for me. Do you have any objections?"
bù guǎn rú hé ， zhè yī cì de shōu huò yǐ suàn bù cuò ， zhè me yī píng tài xū líng rǔ， yǐ zú gòu zì jǐ huī fù shù cì fǎ lì ， zài guān jiàn shí kè ， nà kě shì jiù mìng de dōng xī 。
不管如何，这一次的收获已算不错，这么一瓶太虚灵rǔ，已足够自己恢复数次法力，在关键时刻，那可是救命的东西。
"None at all, Senior. It’s my honor if you find value in it."
bú yào yǐ wéi ， dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， jiù néng gòu bù lǎo bù sǐ ， jǐn guǎn tā men de shòu yuán màn cháng yǐ jí ， dàn yě què shí shì yǒu xiàn dì 。
不要以为，渡劫期老怪物，就能够不老不死，尽管他们的寿元漫长以极，但也确实是有限地。
Lin Xuan hurriedly shook his head but his expression showed hidden disappointment.
ér qiě zài zhè xiū xiān jiè zhōng ， néng gòu wēi xié dào tā men de wēi xiǎn ， suī rán shì jí shǎo shù ， dàn yí dàn pèng shàng le ， tóng yàng shì yǒu kě néng yǔn luò diào de 。
而且在这修仙界中，能够威胁到他们的危险，虽然是极少数，但一旦碰上了，同样是有可能陨落掉的。
"Young fellow, stop pretending to be happy. Do you think I would forcibly take something from a junior?" the True Void Monarch frowned and spoke with slight dissatisfaction.
dé dào zhè píng tài xū líng rǔ， běi hǎi zhēn jūn gāo xìng dào jí chù ， xiù páo yī fú ， yǐ jiāng cǐ bǎo shōu rù huái zhōng ， bù guò tā bìng méi yǒu qiáng qiǎng de yì tú ， ér shì chén yín zhe kāi kǒu le ：“ lín xiǎo zi ， zhè píng bǎo wù ， huàn gěi lǎo fū ， nǐ méi yǒu yì jiàn ba ！”
得到这瓶太虚灵rǔ，北海真君高兴到极处，袖袍一拂，已将此宝收入怀中，不过他并没有强抢的意图，而是沉yín着开口了：“林小子，这瓶宝物，换给老夫，你没有意见吧！”
Lin Xuan quickly denied this.
“ méi yǒu méi yǒu ， qián bèi néng kàn shàng ， nà shì wǎn bèi zhī fú ， zěn me kě néng yǒu yì jiàn ne ？”
“没有没有，前辈能看上，那是晚辈之福，怎么可能有意见呢？”
"Hmph, there's no need for pretense; you must be thinking that way. Old man, what kind of identity am I? I wouldn’t take advantage of a junior. Rest assured, I will exchange something with you." (To be continued.)
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, the True Monarch of Northern Sea exuded a trace of self-satisfaction. A mere spirit division cultivator like him surely wouldn't dare defy his orders. "Everyone should know about this domain."
Although Lin Xuan had gained quite a reputation now, to the eyes of those who had passed through the Tribulation Realm, he was nothing special.
