枯木真人这么安排，自然是有自己的考虑，虽然在众位长老中，宁师弟的修为最低，但处事稳妥，由他去，必能审时度势，将事态控制。
Master Dry Wood had his reasons for making such arrangements. Although Ning Apprentice Brother's cultivation was the lowest among the elders, he handled matters with caution. Sending him on this mission would surely allow him to assess the situation and keep things under control.
suī rán cóng chuán yīn fú de nèi róng lái kàn ， xuě yǐng mén yì tú bù guǐ ， dàn bì jìng méi yǒu wán quán kěn dìng ， shuō bù dìng shì yǒu wù huì ， rú jīn běn mén xíng shì wēi jí ， néng gòu shǎo shù dí ， dāng rán jiù yào shǎo shù yī xiē 。
虽然从传音符的内容来看，雪影门意图不轨，但毕竟没有完全肯定，说不定是有误会，如今本门形势危急，能够少树敌，当然就要少树一些。
Although the message in the transmission talisman suggested that Snow Shadow Sect had ill intentions, it wasn't entirely certain. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding. With the current perilous state of our sect, minimizing enemies was preferable.
shōu huí shén sī ， kū mù zhēn rén dài zhe qí tā rén ， jì xù xiàng qí yào gǔ ér qù 。
收回神思，枯木真人带着其他人，继续像奇药谷而去。
With his mind retracted, Master Dry Wood led everyone to continue heading towards the Rare Medicine Valley.
què shuō lín xuān yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn ， hǎo bù róng yì pò huài le quán yǎn ， kě dòng jìng zhī dà què chū hū liǎng rén de yì liào zhī wài 。
却说林轩与田小剑，好不容易破坏了泉眼，可动静之大却出乎两人的意料之外。
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan and Little Sword Tian were caught off guard by the noise they had caused while destroying the spring. The aura of essence energy spread out, forming clouds of varying sizes in the sky. Lin Xuan's expression turned grim as he realized that the Heavenly Eye Sect had likely been alerted.
jiàn líng qì sì yì ， zài tiān kōng zhōng xíng chéng le dà xiǎo bù yī de yún tuán ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng yīn chén le xià lái ， yóu xiàn zài de qíng kuàng kàn ， bì dìng yǐ jīng jīng dòng le tiān mù pài 。
见灵气四溢，在天空中形成了大小不一的云团，林轩的表情阴沉了下来，由现在的情况看，必定已经惊动了天目派。
What should we do?
zěn me bàn ？
怎么办？
Little Sword Tian looked equally anxious and exchanged a glance with Lin Xuan.
tián xiǎo jiàn de biǎo qíng tóng yàng yǒu xiē huāng luàn ， liǎng rén duì shì yī yǎn 。
田小剑的表情同样有些慌乱，两人对视一眼。
"Brother, it would be better if we split up," Little Sword Tian suggested with a wry smile. "That way, our targets will be smaller."
“ dà gē ， shì yǐ zhì cǐ wǒ men hái shì fēn kāi pǎo hǎo le 。” tián xiǎo jiàn miàn dài kǔ xiào de jiàn yì ：“ nà yàng mù biāo yě yào xiǎo yì diǎn 。”
“大哥，事已至此我们还是分开跑好了。”田小剑面带苦笑的建议：“那样目标也要小一点。”
Lin Xuan nodded in agreement.
“ hǎo de 。” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu 。
“好的。”林轩点了点头。
Time was of the essence. The two immediately used their light to escape from the Rare Medicine Valley and then separated, one heading east while the other went west, racing away.
shì bù yí chí ， liǎng rén lì kè dùn guāng chū le qí yào gǔ ， rán hòu yī rén xiàng dōng ， yī rén xiàng xī ， jí chí ér qù 。
事不宜迟，两人立刻遁光出了奇药谷，然后一人向东，一人向西，疾驰而去。
After parting ways, Lin Xuan only flew a short distance before stopping. This reckless running would not help him find the spirit herb mountain; sooner or later, the pursuers would arrive. Even if they were only condensation core experts, escaping them wouldn't be easy. However, Lin Xuan did not regret it. The rewards of this mission far exceeded his expectations, and taking such a risk was worth it.
fēn kāi yǐ hòu ， lín xuān jǐn fēi chū yī xiǎo duàn jù lí ， jiù tíng le xià lái ， zhè yàng luàn pǎo luàn zhuàng de jué bù liǎo líng yào shān ， xiāng xìn yòng bù liǎo duō jiǔ ， duì fāng de zhuī bīng jiù huì gǎn lái ， bié shuō níng dān qī gāo shǒu ， jiù suàn zhuàng shàng qī bā gè zhù jī qī dì zǐ ， zì jǐ xiǎng yào tuō shēn yě bìng bù róng yì 。 bù guò lín xuān dào yě bìng bù hòu huǐ ， bì jìng cǐ xíng de shōu huò yuǎn bǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào fēng fù ， mào zhè diǎn wēi xiǎn ， kě yě jué duì zhí de 。
分开以后，林轩仅飞出一小段距离，就停了下来，这样乱跑乱撞的绝不了灵药山，相信用不了多久，对方的追兵就会赶来，别说凝丹期高手，就算撞上七八个筑基期弟子，自己想要脱身也并不容易。不过林轩倒也并不后悔，毕竟此行的收获远比想象的还要丰富，冒这点危险，可也绝对值得。
Lin Xuan scratched his head as an idea struck him. He stayed in place, and soon enough, a flash of light appeared from the southeast direction. Lin Xuan quickly concealed his aura.
lín xuān náo le náo tóu 。 xīn zhōng yī dòng 。 jì shàng xīn lái 。
林轩挠了挠头。心中一动。计上心来。
It was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, dressed like a member of the Heavenly Eye Sect.
tā dài zài yuán dì méi zǒu 。 guǒ rán 。 mò guò duō jiǔ 。 jiù yǒu yī dào dùn guāng chū xiàn zài dōng nán fāng xiàng 。 lín xuān lián máng jiāng qì xī yǐn cáng 。
他待在原地没走。果然。没过多久。就有一道遁光出现在东南方向。林轩连忙将气息隐藏。
After some time, that light approached directly above him. Lin Xuan waved his sleeve and summoned several spirit artifacts, launching an attack immediately...
nà shì yī wèi zhù jī chū qī dì xiū shì 。 kàn fú shì 。 zhèng shì tiān mù pài dì zǐ 。
那是一位筑基初期地修士。看服饰。正是天目派弟子。
With his current abilities, taking down a peer would be no easy feat but not particularly difficult either. This person was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
shǎo qǐng 。 nà guāng máng jiù lái dào le zì jǐ dì zhèng shàng fāng 。 lín xuān zhè cái xiù páo yī fú 。 jǐ jiàn líng qì tóng shí jì chū 。 yī shàng lái 。 jiù xià le hěn shǒu ……
少顷。那光芒就来到了自己地正上方。林轩这才袖袍一拂。几件灵器同时祭出。一上来。就下了狠手……
In one exchange, Lin Xuan subdued him but spared his life, leaving him unconscious.
yǐ tā xiàn zài dì xiū wèi shén tōng 。 jiù suàn yào miè yī míng tóng jiē xiū shì 。 suī rán bù néng shuō qīng ér yì jǔ 。 dàn yě zhe shí fèi bù liǎo duō shǎo lì qì 。 gèng bié shuō 。 cǐ rén jǐn jǐn zhù jī chū qī ér yǐ 。
以他现在地修为神通。就算要灭一名同阶修士。虽然不能说轻而易举。但也着实费不了多少力气。更别说。此人仅仅筑基初期而已。
After some thought, Lin Xuan reached out and the man was lifted by a blue light, flying before Lin Xuan's face.
jī hū yí gè zhào miàn 。 lín xuān jiù jiāng tā ná xià 。 bù guò què liú le cǐ rén yī mìng 。 jǐn jǐn shì jiāng tā nòng dé hūn mí bù xǐng 。
几乎一个照面。林轩就将他拿下。不过却留了此人一命。仅仅是将他弄得昏迷不醒。
Lin Xuan's eyes glinted with an eerie light as he stared into the man’s eyes. This was a secret technique from the True Scripture of Profound Yin: Soul Search!
lüè yī chén yín 。 lín xuān shēn shǒu yī zhāo ， nà rén jiù bèi yī céng lán guāng tuō le qǐ lái ， fēi zhì lín xuān de miàn qián 。
略一沉吟。林轩伸手一招，那人就被一层蓝光托了起来，飞至林轩的面前。
As its name suggests, it could forcibly read someone's memories.
lín xuān de yǎn móu zhī zhōng 。 shǎn dòng zhe yāo yì de guāng cǎi ， dīng zhe cǐ rén de shuāng yǎn 。
林轩的眼眸之中。闪动着妖异的光彩，盯着此人的双眼。
After about half an incense stick, Lin Xuan smiled satisfactorily. He waved his sleeve and a white light flew out, wrapping around the man before stripping off his yellow robe. Then, he threw a fireball, which soon turned him into ashes, vanishing without a trace.
cǐ nǎi xuán mó zhēn jīng zhōng jì zǎi dì yī zhǒng mì shù 。
此乃玄魔真经中记载地一种秘术。
"Sorry to meet you; it's just bad luck."
sōu hún **！
搜魂**！
Lin Xuan was not a killer, but this person had to die. He shook out the robe and put it on himself, transforming into a member of the Heavenly Eye Sect. However, that wasn't enough. Lin Xuan took an jade bottle from his pocket, poured down some Hidden Spirit Pills, and used his Heaven Demon Mimicry Technique to change his appearance.
gù míng sī yì ， néng gòu qiáng xíng dú qǔ duì fāng de jì yì 。
顾名思义，能够强行读取对方的记忆。
Clouding the Sky!
yī zhù xiāng yǐ hòu ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì de xiào róng ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào bái guāng fēi lüè ér chū ， wéi rào zhe cǐ rén yī juàn zhī hòu ， bù jǐn jǐn shì chǔ wù dài ， lián tā shēn shàng suǒ chuān de xìng huáng sè cháng páo yě gěi bō le xià lái 。 rán hòu lín xuān rēng chū yí gè huǒ qiú ， hěn kuài ， cǐ rén jiù huà wéi huī jìn ， xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
一炷香以后，林轩脸上露出满意的笑容，袖袍一拂，一道白光飞掠而出，围绕着此人一卷之后，不仅仅是储物袋，连他身上所穿的杏黄色长袍也给剥了下来。然后林轩扔出一个火球，很快，此人就化为灰烬，消失得无影无踪。
The Red-haired Ancestor had left, so there were no婴期 experts in the Heavenly Eye Sect. With his current abilities, even if others tried to recognize him, they would fail to spot a fake.
“ bù hǎo yì sī ， yù jiàn wǒ ， zhǐ néng suàn nǐ dǎo méi le 。”
“不好意思，遇见我，只能算你倒霉了。”
Rather than risk it and leave now, he should wait until the commotion died down before departing. It was safer that way.
lín xuān bìng bù shì shā ， dàn zhè yī cì ， cǐ rén bì xū sǐ ， tā jiāng nà cháng páo yī dǒu 。 chóng xīn chuān zài le zì jǐ shēn shàng ， yáo shēn yī biàn ， huà wèi le tiān mù shān dì zǐ ， dāng rán ， jǐn jǐn zhè yàng shì yuǎn yuǎn bù gòu de ， lín xuān cóng huái lǐ qǔ chū yí gè yù píng ， dào chū yǐn líng dān fú xià ， líng lì yùn zhuàn ， yòng tiān mó nǐ róng shù biàn huà chū le yǔ gāng cái nà rén yī mú yī yàng de róng yán 。
林轩并不嗜杀，但这一次，此人必须死，他将那长袍一抖。重新穿在了自己身上，摇身一变，化为了天目山弟子，当然，仅仅这样是远远不够的，林轩从怀里取出一个玉瓶，倒出隐灵丹服下，灵力运转，用天魔拟容术变化出了与刚才那人一模一样的容颜。
Moreover, Lin Xuan had already read this person's memories; meeting familiar faces wouldn't reveal any discrepancies.
mán tiān guò hǎi ！
瞒天过海！
This man’s name was Liu Guang, who had just recently succeeded in Foundation Establishment. Although his talent wasn’t bad, it was ordinary, and he didn’t attract much attention.
hóng fā lǎo zǔ yǐ jīng lí kāi 。 zhè tiān mù shān zhōng 。 bìng méi yǒu yuán yīng qī dì lǎo guài ， yǐ zì jǐ xiàn zài de xiū wèi 。 bié rén qiě bù shuō ， jiù suàn shì kū mù zhēn rén lái le ， yě jué rèn bù chū zì jǐ shì mào pái 。
红发老祖已经离开。这天目山中。并没有元婴期地老怪，以自己现在的修为。别人且不说，就算是枯木真人来了，也绝认不出自己是冒牌。
Lin Xuan was pleased. The more unremarkable the person he impersonated, the better.
yǔ qí xiàn zài jiù mào xiǎn xià shān ， bù rú děng fēng shēng guò le zài zǒu ， yào gèng jiā de wěn tuǒ bǎo xiǎn 。
与其现在就冒险下山，不如等风声过了再走，要更加的稳妥保险。
As a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, Lin Xuan already had his own den. This man had been on external duty but had just finished his task and was preparing to return when he ended up here...
hé kuàng lín xuān yǐ jīng dú qǔ le tā de jì yì ， jiù suàn yù jiàn xiāng shú zhī rén ， yě bù yòng hài pà lù chū pò zhàn 。
何况林轩已经读取了他的记忆，就算遇见相熟之人，也不用害怕露出破绽。
Looking at the clouds in the sky with his powerful divine sense, Lin Xuan could even faintly hear the bustling voices from afar. The Heavenly Eye Sect must be in chaos.
cǐ rén míng jiào liú guāng ， gāng gāng zhù jī chéng gōng wèi jiǔ ， zī zhì suī rán bù chà ， què yě shí fēn pǔ tōng ， shǔ yú bù tài yǐn rén zhù yì de nà zhǒng 。
此人名叫刘光，刚刚筑基成功未久，资质虽然不差，却也十分普通，属于不太引人注意的那种。
Lin Xuan identified the direction and used his light to head towards Liu Guang’s den.
lín xuān xīn zhōng shèn xǐ ， zì jǐ mào chōng de rén ， dāng rán shì yuè bù yǐn rén zhù yì yuè hǎo le 。
林轩心中甚喜，自己冒充的人，当然是越不引人注意越好了。
From Liu Guang's memories, he knew that he had just completed a task assigned by the sect and was quite free as a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. No one would bother him. Therefore, Lin Xuan planned to return to this den first, close the door tightly, and wait for ten or so days before leaving without drawing attention.
zuò wèi zhù jī qī xiū shì ， yǐ jīng yōng yǒu zì jǐ de dòng fǔ ， cǐ rén yuán běn zài wài lún zhí ， gāng gāng jiù shì zuò wán le chāi shì zhǔn bèi huí qù ， nǎ zhī dào què xī lǐ hú tú de guà zài le zhè lǐ ……
做为筑基期修士，已经拥有自己的洞府，此人原本在外轮值，刚刚就是做完了差事准备回去，哪知道却稀里糊涂的挂在了这里……
About half an hour later...
tái tóu kàn le yī yǎn tiān shàng de qì tuán ， yǐ lín xuān dì qiáng dà shén shí shèn zhì néng gòu yǐn yǐn tīng jiàn yuǎn chù dǐng fèi de rén shēng ， xiǎng bì xiàn zài de tiān mù shān ， yīng gāi luàn dé gēn yī guō zhōu xiāng sì 。
抬头看了一眼天上的气团，以林轩地强大神识甚至能够隐隐听见远处鼎沸的人声，想必现在的天目山，应该乱得跟一锅粥相似。
Lin Xuan arrived at a not-so-high mountain peak, which was still some distance from the core of the Heavenly Eye Sect’s headquarters. The location was remote but had sufficient essence energy. It seemed that Liu Guang also preferred solitude. Lin Xuan was pleased and descended his light.
lín xuān lüè yī biàn shí fāng xiàng ， jiù dùn guāng xiàng liú guāng dì dòng fǔ ér qù 。
林轩略一辨识方向，就遁光像刘光地洞府而去。
His den was actually built in a natural cave, with several minor restrictions outside, but they were too simple for Lin Xuan to notice, merely serving as early warning signals.
cóng liú guāng de jì yì kě zhī ， tā gāng hǎo zuò wán le mén pài suǒ jiāo fù de chāi shì ， ér zuò wéi zhù jī qī de xiū shì ， hái shì hěn zì yóu de ， děng xián bú huì yǒu rén dǎ rǎo ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān dǎ suàn xiān huí cǐ rén de dòng fǔ ， rán hòu dà mén jǐn bì ， guò shàng shí tiān bàn gè yuè ， děng fēng shēng bù nà me jǐn le ， zài shén bù zhī ， guǐ bù jué de lí qù 。
从刘光的记忆可知，他刚好做完了门派所交付的差事，而作为筑基期的修士，还是很自由的，等闲不会有人打扰，所以林轩打算先回此人的洞府，然后大门紧闭，过上十天半个月，等风声不那么紧了，再神不知，鬼不觉的离去。
Lin Xuan easily broke through the defenses and looked at the tightly closed stone door. He exhaled a breath of refined energy, which caused a loud noise as he entered the den.
dà yuē yī zhǎn chá yǐ hòu ……
大约一盏茶以后……
Inside was spacious but crude, containing only a practice room and living quarters. The most amusing part was that there was a large pot in the corner; animal skins hung on the walls, some dried meat, and others preserved with martial attributes.
lín xuān lái dào le yī zuò bìng bú shì hěn gāo de shān fēng miàn qián ， zhè ér jù lí tiān mù pài de zǒng duò hé xīn ， shàng yǒu yī duàn jù lí ， wèi zhì piān yuǎn ， bù guò líng qì dào yě chōng zú ， kàn lái zhè liú guāng ， tóng yàng shì bù xǐ huān bèi rén dǎ rǎo ， lín xīn xīn zhōng shèn xǐ ， dùn guāng jiàng luò le xià qù 。
林轩来到了一座并不是很高的山峰面前，这儿距离天目派的总舵核心，尚有一段距离，位置偏远，不过灵气倒也充足，看来这刘光，同样是不喜欢被人打扰，林欣心中甚喜，遁光降落了下去。
It seemed Liu Guang also enjoyed satisfying his appetite, much like the Rong Elder hanging from Little Sword Tian's hand.
tā dì dòng fǔ ， qí shí shì yóu yī zuò tiān rán de shān dòng gǎi jiàn ér chéng ， wài miàn dào yě bù yǒu jǐ gè xiǎo xiǎo de jìn zhì ， dàn duì lín xuān ér yán ， wú bù jiǎn lòu yǐ jí ， zuì duō néng gòu qǐ dào yù jǐng de zuò yòng ér yǐ 。
他地洞府，其实是由一座天然的山洞改建而成，外面倒也布有几个小小的禁制，但对林轩而言，无不简陋以极，最多能够起到预警的作用而已。
Speaking of Little Sword Tian, he was the only disciple of the Extreme Demon Sovereign, seemingly friendly but actually in a state of mutual hostility. This person had both excellent mind and cultivation; if they turned against him, it would be very troublesome.
lín xuān hěn qīng sōng de jiù jiāng pò qù ， kàn zhuó yǎn qián jǐn bì de shí mén ， yī kǒu jīng qì pēn chū ， hōng lōng lóng shēng xiǎng zhōng ， lín xuān shǎn shēn jìn rù le dòng fǔ 。
林轩很轻松的就将破去，看着眼前紧闭的石门，一口精气喷出，轰隆隆声响中，林轩闪身进入了洞府。
Lin Xuan had Heaven Demon Mimicry to carry out his plans, but he wondered how Little Sword Tian managed to escape. However, Lin Xuan sensed that this person wouldn't perish.
lǐ miàn pǒ wèi kuān guǎng ， dàn què shí fēn jiǎn lòu ， jǐn yǒu liàn gōng shì yǔ qǐ jū shì ér yǐ ， zuì kě xiào de shì ， lǐ miàn hái yǒu yī kǒu dà guō ， shí bì shàng guà zhe bù shǎo dǎ liè ér lái de dòng wù ， yǒu de zhì chéng le ròu gān ， yǒu dì zé yòng bīng shǔ xìng de fǎ jué bǎo cún le qǐ lái 。
里面颇为宽广，但却十分简陋，仅有练功室与起居室而已，最可笑的是，里面还有一口大锅，石壁上挂着不少打猎而来的动物，有的制成了肉干，有地则用兵属性的法诀保存了起来。
Shaking his head, he put the thoughts of Little Sword Tian aside and continued exploring the den with his divine sense. Although he knew a simple Foundation Establishment stage cultivator couldn’t have much, Lin Xuan still searched thoroughly.
kàn lái zhè liú guāng ， yě shì yī tān tú kǒu fù zhī yù de jiā huo ， lín xuān àn àn hǎo xiào ， jū rán yǔ nà guà zài tián xiǎo jiàn shǒu zhōng de liú zhǎng lǎo yī yàng 。
看来这刘光，也是一贪图口腹之欲的家伙，林轩暗暗好笑，居然与那挂在田小剑手中的刘长老一样。
Soon enough, he found another storage bag, but it contained only a few dozen crystal stones. Lin Xuan’s expression showed disappointment as he considered discarding it, then his interest was piqued by the last item in his search: "This is..."
shuō qǐ tián xiǎo jiàn ， zhè wèi jí è mó zūn wéi yī de ài tú ， biǎo miàn shàng yǔ zì jǐ guān xì róng qià ， qí shí liǎng rén què zài shì dí shì yǒu zhī jiān ， cǐ rén bù lùn xīn zhì ， hái shì xiū wèi dōu shì shàng shàng zhī xuǎn ， jiā rù wèi dí de huà ， shí zài shì jí shǒu dé hěn a ！
说起田小剑，这位极恶魔尊唯一的爱徒，表面上与自己关系融洽，其实两人却在似敌似友之间，此人不论心智，还是修为都是上上之选，加入为敌的话，实在是棘手得很啊！
Postscript: Today's three chapters; I still owe 1000 words, which will be made up tomorrow.
Master Dry Wood had his reasons for making such arrangements. Although Ning Apprentice Brother's cultivation was the lowest among the elders, he handled matters with caution. Sending him on this mission would surely allow him to assess the situation and keep things under control.
