liáo shāng ， jìn jiē ， chōng jī píng jǐng ……，
疗伤，进阶，冲击瓶颈……，
Healing, advancing, breaking through bottlenecks...
lín xuān cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū jǐ gè kōng de yù píng ， jiāng bù tóng xiào yòng de piāo miǎo jiǔ xiān dān ， fēn bié zhuāng le jìn qù 。
林轩从怀中取出几个空的玉瓶，将不同效用的飘渺九仙丹，分别装了进去。
Lin Xuan took out several empty jade bottles from his pocket and filled them with different types of the Ethereal Nine Immortals Pills, each with its own unique effects.
zhè xiē dōng xī ， wú yī bú shì jià zhí lián chéng zhī wù ， suí biàn ná chū yī kē ， dōu néng zài xiū xiān jiè yǐn qǐ xuè yǔ xīng fēng ， ruò shì fàng dào fāng shì ， nà gèng shì bù dé le ， gè dà zōng mén jiā zú ， fēn shén qī jí bié de cún zài bú yòng shuō ， jiù suàn nà xiē shén lóng jiàn shǒu bù jiàn wěi de dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， duō duō shǎo shǎo ， kǒng pà yě huì bèi xī yǐn lái guān zhù 。
这些东西，无一不是价值连城之物，随便拿出一颗，都能在修仙界引起血雨腥风，若是放到坊市，那更是不得了，各大宗门家族，分神期级别的存在不用说，就算那些神龙见首不见尾的渡劫期老怪物，多多少少，恐怕也会被吸引来关注。
These items were all priceless treasures. Any one of them could cause a storm in the cultivation world if revealed, let alone if they ended up on the market. Major sects and powerful families would surely be drawn to them. However, Lin Xuan had no intention of doing so. These Ethereal Nine Immortals Pills were useful for him in many ways, and he didn't lack crystal stones, so he decided to keep them for his own use.
dāng rán ， lín xuān shì bú huì zhè me zuò ， zhè xiē piāo miǎo jiǔ xiān dān ， duì tā jiē dà yǒu yòng tú ， lín xuān yòu bù quē jīng shí ， zì rán yào liú zhe ， zì jǐ yǒu jī huì zài màn màn xiǎng yòng 。
当然，林轩是不会这么做，这些飘渺九仙丹，对他皆大有用途，林轩又不缺晶石，自然要留着，自己有机会再慢慢享用。
Next, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, and one by one, storage pouches flew out from his waist. He was preparing to thoroughly sort through the items with the highest quantity from this harvest.
suí hòu lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yí gè yòu yí gè de chǔ wù dài cóng yāo jiān fēi lüè ér chū ， jiē xià lái ， tā zhǔn bèi jiāng cǐ cì shōu huò shù liàng zuì duō de yī lèi shì wù ， hǎo hǎo qīng lǐ yī biàn zài zuò dìng duó 。
随后林轩袖袍一拂，一个又一个的储物袋从腰间飞掠而出，接下来，他准备将此次收获数量最多的一类事物，好好清理一遍再做定夺。
Soon, various types of storage pouches piled up in front of him. A rough count revealed nearly a hundred of them.
hěn kuài ， lín xuān shēn qián ， jiù duī mǎn le gè shì gè yàng de chǔ wù dài ， cū lüè yī shù ， jū rán yǒu jìn bǎi zhī duō 。
很快，林轩身前，就堆满了各式各样的储物袋，粗略一数，居然有近百之多。
Lin Xuan casually picked up one of them and turned it over. With a gentle shake, a burst of light emerged, revealing more than ten boxes before his eyes.
lín xuān suí shǒu ná qǐ yí gè 。
林轩随手拿起一个。
These boxes were not large; each measured about two feet on all sides. They were crafted from thousand-year-old sandalwood, with a faint fragrance emanating from them.
jiāng qí dào zhuǎn ， qīng qīng yī dǒu ， yī dào guāng xiá cóng lǐ miàn pēn bó ， rán hòu jiù kàn jiàn shí yú kǒu xiāng zi chū xiàn zài miàn qián 。
将其倒转，轻轻一抖，一道光霞从里面喷薄，然后就看见十余口箱子出现在面前。
Lin Xuan flicked his fingers, and the box lid opened with a soft "snap." The light was dazzling as several types of cultivation materials came into view.
zhè xiē xiāng zi bìng bù dà ， bù guò èr chǐ jiàn fāng ， nǎi shì yòng qiān nián tán xiāng mù suǒ zhù ， shèn zhì yǒu dàn dàn de yōu xiāng sàn fà ér chū 。
这些箱子并不大，不过二尺见方，乃是用千年檀香木所铸，甚至有淡淡的幽香散发而出。
"Lightning Crystal Stones, Enchanting Immortal Wood, and Instantaneous Soil..."
lín xuān qū zhǐ wēi dàn ,“ pā ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr biān ， xiāng gài dǎ kāi ， guāng huá yào yǎn ， què shì shù zhǒng xiū xiān cái liào yìng rù yǎn lián 。
林轩屈指微弹,“啪”的一声传入耳边，箱盖打开，光华耀眼，却是数种修仙材料映入眼帘。
Lin Xuan's eyes were sharp. He quickly recognized several of these materials, all of which were extraordinary. Following that, he categorized them by their attributes and purposes before placing them in separate pouches.
“ léi jīng shí ， mí xiān mù ， hái yǒu shùn xī zhī tǔ ……”
“雷晶石，迷仙木，还有瞬息之土……”
Next, Lin Xuan flicked his fingers again to open another box.
lín xuān yǎn guāng bù cuò ， yī xià jiù jiāng qí zhōng de shù zhǒng cái liào rèn chū ， jiē shì bù fán zhī wù ， suí hòu lín xuān àn bù tóng de shǔ xìng yǔ yòng tú ， jiāng tā men fēn mén bié lèi de fàng hǎo le 。
林轩眼光不错，一下就将其中的数种材料认出，皆是不凡之物，随后林轩按不同的属性与用途，将它们分门别类的放好了。
In this way, sorting through the various materials obtained from the Ethereal Immortal Palace took Lin Xuan three full days without rest.
jiē zhe lín xuān qū zhǐ wēi dàn ， yòu jiāng lìng yí gè xiāng zi dǎ kāi 。
接着林轩屈指微弹，又将另一个箱子打开。
It was no wonder it had taken him so long. The number of boxes containing cultivation materials from the treasury alone numbered in the hundreds. While impressive, one could understand why given that the Ethereal Immortal Palace's accumulated wealth spanned millions of years.
jiù zhè yàng ， qīng lǐ zhè xiē cóng piāo miǎo xiān gōng dé dào de cái liào ， lín xuān bù xiū bù mián ， zú zú yòng le zhěng zhěng sān tiān 。
就这样，清理这些从缥缈仙宫得到的材料，林轩不休不眠，足足用了整整三天。
In addition to these materials, Lin Xuan also plundered the cave dwellings of over twenty Supreme Elders and nearly a hundred late-stage Cave Profound cultivators from this sect. The other treasures in those places were not discussed, but there was an abundance of cultivation materials available.
yě nán guài tā huì huā fèi zhè me jiǔ de shí jiān ， guāng shì cóng bǎo kù zhōng huò dé de zhuāng gè zhǒng cái liào de xiāng zi ， jiù yǒu qī bā bǎi zhī duō ， tīng shàng qù lìng rén jīng è ， bù guò xiǎng xiǎng zhè shì piāo miǎo xiān gōng shàng bǎi wàn nián de jī lěi yě jiù bù zú wéi qí le 。
也难怪他会花费这么久的时间，光是从宝库中获得的装各种材料的箱子，就有七八百之多，听上去令人惊愕，不过想想这是缥缈仙宫上百万年的积累也就不足为奇了。
The cultivation world was vast, filled with countless rare treasures. Even with Lin Xuan's extensive knowledge, he could only recognize about seven or eight out of ten of these materials.
chú cǐ yǐ wài ， lín xuān hái jiāng gāi pài èr shí yú míng tài shàng zhǎng lǎo de dòng fǔ ， yǐ jí jìn bǎi míng dòng xuán hòu qī xiū shì de dòng fǔ xǐ jié yī kōng ， lǐ miàn qí tā de bǎo wù zàn qiě bù tí ， gè zhǒng xiū xiān suǒ néng yòng dào de cái liào yě shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。
除此以外，林轩还将该派二十余名太上长老的洞府，以及近百名洞玄后期修士的洞府洗劫一空，里面其他的宝物暂且不提，各种修仙所能用到的材料也是数不胜数。
However, even these materials left Lin Xuan speechless and in a state of extreme excitement. The Ethereal Immortal Palace truly lived up to its reputation as the top force in the cultivation world; its depth was unmatched by Cloud Concealing Sect or Heavenly Extinction Sect.
xiū xiān jiè miàn jī guǎng kuò ， gè zhǒng qí zhēn yì bǎo wú shù ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān jiàn shí guǎng bó ， néng gòu rèn chū de cái liào yě bù guò qī bā chéng bà le 。
修仙界面积广阔，各种奇珍异宝无数，即便以林轩见识广博，能够认出的材料也不过七八成罢了。
The materials needed for his Nine Palaces Momentary Sword were all extraordinary, but this time he had managed to gather most of them. Adding to that, with some treasures obtained through various means, except for the three-attribute flying swords already refined, the materials for the remaining six attributes were nearly eighty percent complete.
rán ér jiù shì zhè xiē cái liào ， yǐ jīng ràng lín xuān chēng mù jié shé ， jīng xǐ dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
然而就是这些材料，已经让林轩瞠目结舌，惊喜到无以复加的地步。
The last twenty percent would be the rarest treasures, but due to his loss in the Star Moon City duel, according to their agreement, Heavenly Extinction Sect cultivators would try their best to gather them.
piāo miǎo xiān gōng ， bù kuì shì cǐ jiè dì yī shì lì ， dǐ yùn zhī shēn hòu ， shì yún yǐn zōng yǔ tiān jué mén gēn běn méi tài yǒu bàn fǎ xiàng bǐ de 。
缥缈仙宫，不愧是此界第一势力，底蕴之深厚，是云隐宗与天绝门根本没太有办法相比的。
With a two-thousand-year deadline and the combined efforts of tens of thousands of cultivators, Lin Xuan believed he could gather most of these remaining materials. With some effort on his part, refining the full set of Nine Palaces Momentary Swords seemed no longer out of reach.
zì jǐ liàn zhì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de cái liào ， wú yī bú shì nì tiān zhī wù ， rán ér zhè cì suǒ shōu huò de cái liào zhōng ， jū rán jiāng dà bàn dōu còu zú 。
自己炼制九宫须臾剑的材料，无一不是逆天之物，然而这次所收获的材料中，居然将大半都凑足。
Thinking about this, even with his composure, Lin Xuan couldn't help but show a look of great anticipation.
zài jiā shàng yǐ qián tōng guò gè zhǒng tú jìng sōu luó dào de yī xiē bǎo wù ， chú le yǐ jīng liàn zhì hǎo de sān shǔ xìng fēi jiàn yǐ wài ， lìng wài liù zhǒng shǔ xìng fēi jiàn de cái liào ， chà bu duō yǐ jīng còu zú bā chéng le 。
再加上以前通过各种途径搜罗到的一些宝物，除了已经炼制好的三属性飞剑以外，另外六种属性飞剑的材料，差不多已经凑足八成了。
The three-attribute Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was already incomparably powerful. When all nine attributes were complete, how formidable would this treasure become? Lin Xuan found it hard to imagine.
shèng xià de liǎng chéng suī rán dōu shì zuì zhēn xī de bǎo wù ， dàn yīn wèi xīng yuè chéng jué dòu shū le ， àn zhào yuē dìng ， tiān jué mén xiū shì zhǐ yào bù yuàn yì yǔn luò ， jiù huì xiǎng jǐn bàn fǎ wèi zì jǐ sì chù shōu luó 。
剩下的两成虽然都是最珍稀的宝物，但因为星月城决斗输了，按照约定，天绝门修士只要不愿意陨落，就会想尽办法为自己四处收罗。
Moreover, once the nine attributes were gathered, the true brilliance of the sword lay not in its inherent strength but in its ability to set up a Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Formation, greatly enhancing its power.
qī xiàn shì liǎng qiān nián ， jí gāi pài shù wàn xiū shì zhī lì ， lín xuān xiāng xìn ， yīng gāi néng gòu jiāng shèng xià de cái liào ， yě zhǎo qí dà bàn de ， shèng xià de ， zì jǐ zài nǔ nǔ lì ， liàn zhì quán tào jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， sì hū yě jiù bù zài shì shén me mèng xiǎng le 。
期限是两千年，集该派数万修士之力，林轩相信，应该能够将剩下的材料，也找齐大半的，剩下的，自己再努努力，炼制全套九宫须臾剑，似乎也就不再是什么梦想了。
The Heavenly Edge Pavilion back then was merely due to good fortune and receiving some scraps from the Moon Shadow Clan. The so-called Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Formation was just superficial, yet it possessed immense power.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū jí wéi qǐ pàn zhī sè 。
想到这里，即便以林轩的城府，脸上也不由得露出极为企盼之色。
However, Lin Xuan's Dark Moon Heaven Witch Art was a clan treasure. During the peak of the Moon Shadow Clan, the Heavens Witch Immortal Goddess could still handle two Loose Immortals with ease. It is said that this art was passed down by her.
sān shǔ xìng de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， yǐ shì wēi lì wú 「 bǎi dù tiē ba qǐ háng wén zì 」 qióng ， dāng jiǔ zhǒng shǔ xìng wán quán còu zú ， cǐ bǎo huì qiáng hàn dào shén me dì bù ， lín xuān yě yǒu diǎn nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng le 。
三属性的九宫须臾剑，已是威力无「百度贴吧启航文字」穷，当九种属性完全凑足，此宝会强悍到什么地步，林轩也有点难以想象了。
Even with the goddess’s abilities, she couldn't complete the full Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Formation back then. When she fought against two Loose Immortals alone, the treasures she used were similar to Lin Xuan's—simplified versions of the Nine Palaces Momentary Swords.
ér qiě dāng jiǔ zhǒng shǔ xìng còu qí yǐ hòu ， cǐ jiàn de xuán miào zhī chù ， hái bù zài yú běn shēn de qiáng hàn ， ér shì kě yǐ bù xià jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhèn ， cóng ér ràng qí wēi lì bèi zēng 。
而且当九种属性凑齐以后，此剑的玄妙之处，还不在于本身的强悍，而是可以布下九宫须臾剑阵，从而让其威力倍增。
The two Loose Immortals were the pinnacle of human existence, with immense wealth and先天灵宝级别的本命法宝 each holding.
dāng nián de tiān yá hǎi gé ， bù guò shì yīn wèi jī yuán qiǎo hé ， cóng mò yuè zú nà lǐ dé dào le yì diǎn pí máo ， suǒ wèi de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhèn ， jǐn jǐn shì tú yǒu qí biǎo ， jiù yōng yǒu mò dà de wēi néng 。
当年的天涯海阁，不过是因为机缘巧合，从墨月族那里得到了一点皮毛，所谓的九宫须臾剑阵，仅仅是徒有其表，就拥有莫大的威能。
There was no mistake; they were indeed先天灵宝. Legend had it that these were among the strongest treasures after Immortal Palaces and beyond.
ér lín xuān bù tóng ， tā suǒ xiū liàn de mò yuè tiān wū jué ， nǎi zhèn zú zhī bǎo ， dāng nián mò yuè zú quán shèng zhī shí ， tiān wū shén nǚ yǐ yī rén zhī lì ， duì shàng sān dà sàn xiān zhōng de liǎng wèi ， yī jiù yóu rèn yǒu yú ， ér jù shuō ， mò yuè tiān wū jué jiù shì zài tā shǒu zhōng chuán xià lái dì 。
而林轩不同，他所修炼的墨月天巫诀，乃镇族之宝，当年墨月族全盛之时，天巫神女以一人之力，对上三大散仙中的两位，依旧游刃有余，而据说，墨月天巫诀就是在她手中传下来地。
Since the Heavens Witch Immortal Goddess could withstand the Nine Palaces Momentary Swords, how powerful would this treasure be?
bù guò jí biàn shì yǐ shén nǚ zhī néng ， dāng nián yī jiù wèi néng còu qí wán zhěng de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhèn ， dāng nián tā yǐ yī rén zhī lì ， yuē zhàn èr wèi sàn xiān de shí hòu ， shǐ yòng de bǎo wù ， dǎo shì yǔ lín xuān rú jīn xiāng chà fǎng fú ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， nǎi shì jiǎn huà bǎn de 。
不过即便是以神女之能，当年依旧未能凑齐完整的九宫须臾剑阵，当年她以一人之力，约战二位散仙的时候，使用的宝物，倒是与林轩如今相差仿佛，九宫须臾剑，乃是简化版的。
Of course, what was meant by this wasn't that Lin Xuan intended to fully integrate all nine attributes of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword. After all, although the method for refining these swords was the same, his strength and the Heavens Witch Immortal Goddess's were incomparable.
ér liǎng wèi sàn xiān shēn wéi rén zú zuì dǐng jiē de cún zài ， shēn jiā zì shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， měi rén suǒ chí de běn mìng bǎo wù ， dōu shì xiān tiān líng bǎo jí bié de 。
而两位散仙身为人族最顶阶的存在，身家自是非同小可，每人所持的本命宝物，都是先天灵宝级别的。
Moreover, the Heavens Witch Immortal Goddess had spent countless years cultivating her innate treasure in her dantian. Its quality and power were not on the same level as Lin Xuan’s.
méi yǒu kàn cuò ， jiù shì xiān tiān líng bǎo ， chuán shuō zhōng ， jǐn cì yú xiān fǔ qí zhēn de jué qiáng bǎo wù 。
没有看错，就是先天灵宝，传说中，仅次于仙府奇珍的绝强宝物。
However, Lin Xuan didn't expect to compare himself with such legendary cultivators now. At least one thing was certain: the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword had significant room for improvement.
tiān wū shén nǚ jì rán néng yǐ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， yǔ qí kàng héng ， cǐ bǎo de pǐn zhì wēi lì rú hé ， nán dào hái yòng xì shuō ？
天巫神女既然能以九宫须臾剑，与其抗衡，此宝的品质威力如何，难道还用细说？
With time, it could match or even surpass a先天灵宝. Unfortunately, he couldn’t refine the full version of this sword at present, so comparing it to Immortal Palace treasures remained uncertain.
dāng rán ， zhè lǐ de yì si yě bìng bú shì shuō ， lín xuān jiāng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de jiǔ zhǒng shǔ xìng wán quán róng hé ， cǐ bǎo de wēi néng jiù kān bǐ xiān tiān líng bǎo le 。
当然，这里的意思也并不是说，林轩将九宫须臾剑的九种属性完全融合，此宝的威能就堪比先天灵宝了。
Shaking his head, Lin Xuan thought that thinking about such things was too distant and meaningless now. Once the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was successfully refined, his strength would undoubtedly soar to an unimaginable level.
yào zhī dào ， tóng shì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， suī rán liàn zhì de bǎo wù ， fāng fǎ xiàng tóng ， dàn tiān wū shén nǚ de shí lì ， yǔ lín xuān què bù kě yǐ dào lǐ jì ， hé kuàng tiān wū shén nǚ de běn mìng fǎ bǎo ’ dāng nián ， yǐ bù zhī zài dān tián zhōng péi yǎng le duō shǎo wàn nián 。
要知道，同是九宫须臾剑，虽然炼制的宝物，方法相同，但天巫神女的实力，与林轩却不可以道理计，何况天巫神女的本命法宝’当年，已不知在丹田中培养了多少万年。
Of course, this was relative to those of the same cultivation stage.
qí pǐn zhì wēi lì ， yǔ lín xuān de dōu bú shì yí gè děng jí 。
其品质威力，与林轩的都不是一个等级。
However, with some of his other methods, if he could advance a bit more—say, to late-stage Profound Realm—he wasn't without confidence in challenging Loose Immortal monsters in their true forms.
rán ér lín xuān běn yě méi xiǎng guò ， xiàn zài jiù yǔ nà zhǒng chuán shuō zhōng de xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， zhì shǎo yǒu yì diǎn shì kěn dìng de ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， yǒu zhe jí dà de tí shēng kōng jiān 。
然而林轩本也没想过，现在就与那种传说中的修士相比，至少有一点是肯定的，九宫须臾剑，有着极大的提升空间。
Note that it referred to the true form of a Loose Immortal, not its avatar or clone. The difference was significant.
jiā yǐ shí rì ， yǔ xiān tiān líng bǎo xiāng bǐ ， yě zhǐ qiáng bù ruò ， kě xī ， zì jǐ rú jīn méi yǒu bàn fǎ liàn zhì chū wán zhěng bǎn de ， fǒu zé ， yǔ xiān fǔ qí zhēn yī jiào cháng duǎn ， yě wèi bì shì bù kě néng de 。
加以时日，与先天灵宝相比，也只强不弱，可惜，自己如今没有办法炼制出完整版的，否则，与仙府奇珍一较长短，也未必是不可能的。
As the last realm, the Loose Immortal stage was incomparable to those below. A Profound Realm battle against a Loose Immortal would be without suspense; even with hundreds of late-stage Profound Realm cultivators working together, they wouldn't stand a chance against an early-stage Loose Immortal.
Healing, advancing, breaking through bottlenecks...
Lin Xuan took out several empty jade bottles from his pocket and filled them with different types of the Ethereal Nine Immortals Pills, each with its own unique effects.
These items were all priceless treasures. Any one of them could cause a storm in the cultivation world if revealed, let alone if they ended up on the market. Major sects and powerful families would surely be drawn to them. However, Lin Xuan had no intention of doing so. These Ethereal Nine Immortals Pills were useful for him in many ways, and he didn't lack crystal stones, so he decided to keep them for his own use.
Next, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, and one by one, storage pouches flew out from his waist. He was preparing to thoroughly sort through the items with the highest quantity from this harvest.
Soon, various types of storage pouches piled up in front of him. A rough count revealed nearly a hundred of them.
