mèng mèi yǐ qiú de bǎo wù jiù zài yǎn qián ， yǐ lín xuān zhī chéng fǔ ， hū xī yě bù yóu de yǒu xiē jí cù 。
梦寐以求的宝物就在眼前，以林轩之城府，呼吸也不由得有些急促。
The long-desired treasure was right before his eyes. With Lin Xuan's composure, he couldn't help but feel a bit breathless.
bì jìng zhè bú shì pǔ tōng bǎo wù 。
毕竟这不是普通宝物。
After all, this wasn't just any ordinary treasure.
xiān shí xiān shí ， zhè kě shì chuán shuō zhōng de xiān jiā zhī wù 。
仙石仙石，这可是传说中的仙家之物。
"Xian stones, xian stones," he thought to himself. "These are legendary divine objects."
líng jiè yǔ rén jiè xiāng bǐ ， zī yuán zì shì guǎng bó yǐ jí ， rán ér ruò bǐ jiào de duì xiàng huàn chéng xiān jiè 。
灵界与人界相比，资源自是广博以极，然而若比较的对象换成仙界。
Compared to the resource-rich spirit realm versus the mortal world, resources were indeed boundless. However, if compared with the divine realm, these treasures immediately became insignificant.
nà yòu lì kè biàn chéng le bù zhí yī tí 。
那又立刻变成了不值一提。
While this sounded outrageous, it was absolutely not an exaggeration. In a spirit realm environment, various coincidences and opportunities were needed for such treasures as xian stones to form.
zhè fān huà tīng lái yǒu xiē lí pǔ ， rán ér què jué wú bàn fēn kuā zhāng zhī chù 。
这番话听来有些离谱，然而却绝无半分夸张之处。
Xian stones!
líng jiè huán jìng xià ， xū yào zhǒng zhǒng jī yuán qiǎo hé ， cái yǒu kě néng shēng chéng xiān shí zhè yàng de bǎo wù 。
灵界环境下，需要种种机缘巧合，才有可能生成仙石这样的宝物。
The power they contained wasn't ordinary qi, but rather divine spirit force.
xiān shí ！
仙石！
Quantitative change leading to qualitative transformation—this was fundamentally different from essence qi at a completely different level.
chuán shuō lǐ miàn suǒ yùn hán de ， bù zài shì líng qì ， ér shì xiān líng zhī lì 。
传说里面所蕴含的，不在是灵气，而是仙灵之力。
Thus, these had immense use for cultivators. For refining treasures and crafting tools, it was self-explanatory. However, few cultivators did so because it was too extravagant.
suǒ wèi liàng biàn yǐn qǐ zhì biàn ， zhè tóng líng lì xiāng bǐ ， gēn běn jiù shì wán quán bù tóng céng miàn de dōng xī 。
所谓量变引起质变，这同灵力相比，根本就是完全不同层面的东西。
What kind of treasure deserved the use of xian stones?
gù ér duì xiū xiān zhě ， yě jiù yǒu zhe mò dà de yòng tú 。
故而对修仙者，也就有着莫大的用途。
Lin Xuan didn't know, but only those legendary primordial spirit treasures would do.
liàn bǎo ， zhì qì ， nà bù yòng tí ， rán ér hěn shǎo yǒu xiū shì nà me zuò ， yīn wèi tài shē chǐ 。
炼宝，制器，那不用提，然而很少有修士那么做，因为太奢侈。
After all, even for old monsters at the tribulation period, xian stones were rare and hard to come by. And Lin Xuan's quest for this item was particularly useful. He had plundered numerous treasures from the Ethereal Immortal Palace, but among them, the three most precious items were the last one he couldn't use.
shén me yàng de bǎo wù ， cái pèi shǐ yòng xiān shí ？
什么样的宝物，才配使用仙石？
Of course, it was that legendary true spirit puppet!
lín xuān bù xiǎo de ， dàn xiǎng lái yě zhǐ yǒu nà chuán shuō zhōng de xiān tiān líng bǎo le 。
林轩不晓得，但想来也只有那传说中的先天灵宝了。
From its name alone, one could tell how extraordinary this treasure was. However, saying it matched a true spirit was still somewhat exaggerated.
bì jìng zhè xiān shí biàn shì duì dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， yě kān chēng shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú 。
毕竟这仙石便是对渡劫期老怪物，也堪称是可遇而不可求。
But this puppet's strength was enough to rival an old monster at the tribulation period early stage. Yet even with top-grade crystal stones, it wasn't nearly sufficient to activate it.
ér lín xuān suǒ yào cǐ wù ， gèng shì dà yǒu yòng tú ， tā cóng piāo miǎo xiān gōng jié lüè le dà liàng bǎo wù ， rán ér qí zhōng zuì bǎo guì de ， fēi yā zhòu de sān jiàn bǎo bèi mò shǔ 。
而林轩索要此物，更是大有用途，他从缥缈仙宫劫掠了大量宝物，然而其中最宝贵的，非压轴的三件宝贝莫属。
Xian stones were the only option, but they were too extravagant. Even the first power in the Ice Sea Realm, the Ethereal Immortal Palace, had no heart or strength for it. They could only sigh and put this treasure away.
pán táo lín xuān yǐ jīng tūn fú ， fú bǎo ， lín xuān yě céng yòng qí dà xiǎn shén tōng ， rán ér què yǒu zuì hòu yī jiàn bǎo bèi ， yì zhí wú fǎ shǐ yòng 。
蟠桃林轩已经吞服，符宝，林轩也曾用其大显神通，然而却有最后一件宝贝，一直无法使用。
Of course, even as a minor interface within the spirit realm, the Ice Sea Realm was far inferior to the current Dragon Realm.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì nà chuán shuō zhōng de zhēn líng kuǐ lěi le ！
不用说，自然是那传说中的真灵傀儡了！
Since returning here, he had been keeping an eye on any news about xian stones.
yóu míng zì jiù kě yǐ tīng chū zhè jiàn bǎo bèi shì duō me liǎo de ， dāng rán ， shuō pì měi zhēn líng hái shì shāo xián kuā dà le 。
由名字就可以听出这件宝贝是多么了得，当然，说媲美真灵还是稍嫌夸大了。
But he never expected to find one after all his efforts. He discovered it in the crystal mine given by Uncle Wu.
rán ér cǐ kuǐ lěi de shí lì ， yě zú yǐ yǔ yī dù jié chū qī de lǎo guài wù xiāng pǐ dí ， zhǐ bù guò xiǎng yào qū dòng tā ， biàn shì jí pǐn jīng shí ， yě shì yuǎn yuǎn bù gòu dì 。
然而此傀儡的实力，也足以与一渡劫初期的老怪物相匹敌，只不过想要驱动它，便是极品晶石，也是远远不够地。
Although this led to some complications, the final result was excellent. Now, these crystal stones were his own. How could Lin Xuan not be satisfied?
xiān shí shì wéi yī de xuǎn zé ， bù guò nà tài shē chǐ le ， biàn shì bīng hǎi jiè dì yī shì lì de piāo miǎo xiān gōng ， yě yǒu xīn wú lì 。 wéi yǒu jiāng zhè jiàn bǎo bèi shù zhī gāo gé ， wēi rán cháng tàn bà le 。
仙石是唯一的选择，不过那太奢侈了，便是冰海界第一势力的缥缈仙宫，也有心无力。唯有将这件宝贝束之高阁，巍然长叹罢了。
Beside him, the dragon-named youth also widened his eyes at the sight of xian stones. Though he coveted them, he couldn't enjoy their benefits. One should know when to be content. But since he couldn't have it, there was no harm in enjoying the view.
dāng rán ， jí biàn tóng wèi líng jiè de xiǎo jiè miàn zhī yī ， bīng hǎi jiè ， nà shì yuǎn yuǎn méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ yǎn qián de nài lóng jiè xiāng bǐ 。
当然，即便同为灵界的小界面之一，冰海界，那是远远没有办法与眼前的鼐龙界相比。
In fact, thinking about it, his own luck was already pretty good. Most cultivators could only read descriptions in ancient texts; how many had a chance to see xian stones?
zì cóng huí dào zhè lǐ ， duì yú xiān shí de xiāo xī ， tā yě yì zhí zài liú yì 。
自从回到这里，对于仙石的消息，他也一直在留意。
With this thought, his mood gradually calmed down, and the intense light in his eyes dimmed.
zhǐ bù guò méi xiǎng dào tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu 。 yóu wū dà shào yé shū gěi zì jǐ de jīng shí kuàng zhōng wā dào le 。
只不过没想到踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫。由乌大少爷输给自己的晶石矿中挖到了。
On one side, the silver-eyed maiden raised her jade hand, her index finger moving slowly but quickly forward.
suī rán yóu cǐ qǐ le yī fān bō zhé 。 dàn zuì hòu de jié guǒ ， què shì jí hǎo de ， rú jīn zhè jīng shí yě chéng le zì jǐ de náng zhōng wù 。 lín xuān zěn me bù xīn mǎn yì zú 。
虽然由此起了一番波折。但最后的结果，却是极好的，如今这晶石也成了自己的囊中物。林轩怎么不心满意足。
"Pfft..."
yī páng ， nà lóng xìng shào nián yě dèng dà le shuāng mù ， xiān shí 。 tā gù rán yǎn rè ， dàn què shì wú fú xiāo shòu de ， rén guì zài zhī zú ， bù guò dé bú dào jiù dé bú dào ， zǒng bù fáng ài zì jǐ zài zhè lǐ guò yī guò yǎn fú 。
一旁，那龙姓少年也瞪大了双目，仙石。他固然眼热，但却是无福消受的，人贵在知足，不过得不到就得不到，总不妨碍自己在这里过一过眼福。
A soft sound entered his ears. As she moved, several restriction talismans on the surface of the jade box ignited without wind. She then lightly tapped again, and the lid opened with a click. Instantly, a light and ethereal aura burst out from inside.
qí shí ， xiǎng xiǎng ， zì jǐ de jī yuán yǐ jīng bù cuò ， dà bù fèn xiū xiān zhě ， chú le kàn kàn diǎn jí shàng de miáo shù 。 yòu yǒu jǐ gè ， néng yǒu jī huì ， qù yī dǔ xiān shí de fēng cǎi ne ？
其实，想想，自己的机缘已经不错，大部分修仙者，除了看看典籍上的描述。又有几个，能有机会，去一睹仙石的风采呢？
"Is this divine essence qi?"
rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， tā de xīn xù ， yě jiù jiàn jiàn píng hé ， yǎn zhōng yuán běn zhì rè de guāng ， yě àn dàn xià qù le 。
如此想着，他的心绪，也就渐渐平和，眼中原本炙热的光，也黯淡下去了。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he took deep breaths, feeling the greenish-blue energy surrounding his body. Indeed, it was vastly different from ordinary essence qi.
ér yī páng 。 yín tóng shào nǚ yǐ jiāng yù shǒu tái qǐ ， shí zhǐ shì huǎn shí jí ， qīng qīng xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
而一旁。银瞳少女已将玉手抬起，食指似缓实急，轻轻向前点去。
Not only was it much purer, but its nature was fundamentally distinct.
“ pū ……”
“噗……”
Lin Xuan closed his eyes to better sense it with his divine sense.
yī shēng qīng xiǎng ， chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò 。 nà yù hé biǎo miàn de jǐ zhāng jìn zhì fú lù ， dùn shí wú fēng zì rán 。 suí hòu tā zài qīng qīng yì diǎn ， pā dā yī shēng ， nà hé gài yǐ rán dǎ kāi ， shà shí jiān ， yī gǔ qīng líng zhī qì yóu lǐ miàn pēn bó chū lái 。
一声轻响，传入耳朵，随着他的动作。那玉盒表面的几张禁制符箓，顿时无风自燃。随后她再轻轻一点，啪嗒一声，那盒盖已然打开，霎时间，一股轻灵之气由里面喷bó出来。
However, this force became even more elusive. Just a faint aura of essence qi seemed to contain the laws of heaven and earth.
“ zhè jiù shì xiān líng qì ？”
“这就是仙灵气？”
But they were vague and hard to grasp or comprehend. He wasn't sure if it was due to his insufficient cultivation level or just an illusion.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， tóng shí shēn shēn hū xī ， gǎn shòu zhe mí màn zài shēn tǐ sì zhōu de nà gǔ qīng qì ， guǒ rán yǔ yì bān de líng lì shì dà wèi bù tóng dì 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，同时深深呼吸，感受着弥漫在身体四周的那股青气，果然与一般的灵力是大为不同地。
Regardless, merely emitting a bit of divine spirit power had already left Lin Xuan in awe. Divine objects truly lived up to their reputation...
bù jǐn chún hòu xǔ duō ， guān jiàn diǎn ， zài yú qí xìng zhì ， gēn běn jiù shì jiǒng yì 。
不仅淳厚许多，关键点，在于其性质，根本就是迥异。
Lin Xuan's peripheral vision swept over the expressions of his fellow disciples. The silver-eyed maiden didn’t need to be surprised; since she was the one who brought out the xian stone, it was likely she had seen it before and wasn't shocked. As for the dragon-named youth, he only showed admiration, far less perceptive than Lin Xuan.
lín xuān bì shàng yǎn móu ， yǐ biàn gèng hǎo de yòng shén shí gǎn chù 。
林轩闭上眼眸，以便更好的用神识感触。
This was normal. Although they were both at the spirit formation stage, Lin Xuan was no ordinary cultivator.
rán ér què yuè fā de jué de zhè gǔ lì liàng bù kě zhuō mō ， jiù nà me dàn dàn de yī gǔ líng qì ， lǐ miàn jìng fǎng fú yùn hán dé yǒu tiān dì fǎ zé 。
然而却越发的觉得这股力量不可捉摸，就那么淡淡的一股灵气，里面竟仿佛蕴含得有天地法则。
The entire process seemed complicated but took mere moments. Once the lid opened and divine essence qi spread out, a bright green light shot out from inside.
dàn què yòu mó mó hú hú ， hěn nán tǐ huì gǎn wù ， yě bù zhī dào jiū jìng shì zì jǐ jìng jiè bù gòu de yuán gù ， hái shì gēn běn jiù shì cuò jué bà le 。
但却又模模糊糊，很难体会感悟，也不知道究竟是自己境界不够的缘故，还是根本就是错觉罢了。
The xian stone seemed to have some form of consciousness; as soon as the restriction talismans were removed, it tried to escape into the distance.
rán ér bù guǎn rú hé ， jǐn jǐn sàn fà chū lái de yì diǎn xiān líng zhī lì ， jiù néng ràng lín xuān rú cǐ ， xiān jiā zhī wù ， guǒ rán shì shèng míng wú xū ……
然而不管如何，仅仅散发出来的一点仙灵之力，就能让林轩如此，仙家之物，果然是盛名无虚……
Unfortunately, this was in vain. Even though it was a divine object, at its core, it was just a rock. With three spirit formation cultivators present and Lin Xuan's power almost rivaling that of tribulation period experts, if it escaped from his side, the three wouldn't even need to continue their path toward immortality; buying tofu and ending their lives would be wiser.
lín xuān yǎn jiǎo de yú guāng ， yě sǎo le yī xià liǎng míng tóng mén de yǎn sè ， yín tóng shào nǚ yě jiù bà le ， xiān shí jì rán shì tā ná chū ， xiǎng bì xiān qián yǐ jīng jiàn guò ， zì rán méi yǒu shén me zhí de chī jīng zhā hū ， ér nà lóng xìng shào nián ， yě jǐn jǐn shì yī liǎn zàn tàn zhī sè ， lùn gǎn wù ， nà shì yuǎn bù jí zì jǐ le 。
林轩眼角的余光，也扫了一下两名同门的眼色，银瞳少女也就罢了，仙石既然是她拿出，想必先前已经见过，自然没有什么值得吃惊咋呼，而那龙姓少年，也仅仅是一脸赞叹之色，论感悟，那是远不及自己了。
However, since the xian stone was agreed to belong to Lin Xuan, regardless of the reason, both the dragon-named youth and the silver-eyed maiden remained motionless.
zhè yě shì zhèng cháng dì ， suī rán tóng wèi fēn shén qī ， dàn lín xuān nǎ shì pǔ tōng xiū shì kě bǐ 。
这也是正常地，虽然同为分神期，但林轩哪是普通修士可比。
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips. He waved his sleeve, and a beam of light shot out from it, wrapping around the xian stone. It was then enveloped by a ball of spirit light and slowly flew toward him.
ér zhěng gè guò chéng shuō qǐ lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu 。
而整个过程说起来繁复，其实不过瞬息的功夫。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and the light seemed to have a mind of its own, landing in his palm.
dài hé gài dǎ kāi ， xiān líng zhī qì mí màn ， jǐn jiē zhe ， yī dào cuì lǜ sè de guāng huá yóu lǐ miàn jī shè chū lái 。
待盒盖打开，仙灵之气弥漫，紧接着，一道翠绿色的光华由里面激射出来。
He held the treasure with one hand, lowered his head, and examined it closely.
nà xiān shí jìng yǒu jǐ fēn lèi sì tōng líng zhī wù ， dài jìn zhì fú lù jiě chú ， lì kè xiǎng yào táo dùn xiàng yuǎn chù 。
那仙石竟有几分类似通灵之物，待禁制符箓解除，立刻想要逃遁像远处。
Just as many ancient texts described, this xian stone was much smaller than ordinary crystal stones, shaped like a date kernel. At first glance, it was warm and smooth like jade, with a flickering light that alternated between bright and dim. As the light fluctuated, countless intricate patterns emerged faintly.
kě xī shì tú láo de ， zài shì xiān jiè zhī wù ， guī gēn jié dǐ ， yě bù guò yī kuài shí tóu ， ér zài chǎng zhī rén ， kě shì yǒu sān míng fèn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān zhī shén tōng ， gèng shì chà bu duō dào le pì měi dù jié qī dà néng de chéng dù ， ruò shì ràng tā zhè me yǎn zhēng zhēng cóng zì jǐ shēn biān táo tuō ， sān rén yě bù yòng jì xù xún qiú xiān dào zhī lù ， mǎi kuài dòu fǔ zhuàng sǐ hái suàn bǐ jiào míng zhì de xuǎn zé 。
可惜是徒劳的，再是仙界之物，归根结底，也不过一块石头，而在场之人，可是有三名分神级别的修仙者，林轩之神通，更是差不多到了媲美渡劫期大能的程度，若是让它这么眼睁睁从自己身边逃脱，三人也不用继续寻求仙道之路，买块豆腐撞死还算比较明智的选择。
These patterns seemed alive; as they leaped and soared, they weren't arbitrary but followed the laws of heaven and earth, forming miniature arrays.
bù guò xiān shí jì rán yǐ jīng shuō hǎo guī lín xuān qǔ yòng ， bù guǎn shì bì xián yě hǎo ， hái shì bié de shén me yuán yóu ， miàn duì zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， lóng xìng shào nián yǔ yín tóng shào nǚ dōu yī dòng bù dòng 。
不过仙石既然已经说好归林轩取用，不管是避嫌也好，还是别的什么缘由，面对这种情况，龙姓少年与银瞳少女都一动不动。
More astonishingly, every time the greenish-blue light flashed, the array formed by these symbols was different from the previous moment. It seemed to change endlessly in a blink.
lín xuān jiàn le ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī xiào róng ， xiù páo qīng shuǎi ， yī lǚ guāng xiá yóu yī xiù zhōng jī shè chū lái ， yī juàn yī guǒ ， yǐ jiāng nà xiān shí jìn gù ， suí hòu bèi yī tuán líng guāng bāo guǒ ， xú xú de xiàng tā fēi guò lái le 。
林轩见了，嘴角边露出一丝笑容，袖袍轻甩，一缕光霞由衣袖中激射出来，一卷一裹，已将那仙石禁锢，随后被一团灵光包裹，徐徐的像他飞过来了。
For a moment, Lin Xuan's mind was captivated by its mysterious profundity. He marveled at how such a simple stone could be so extraordinary, imagining the immense power of legendary true immortals.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， nà guāng xiá rú yǒu líng xìng yì bān de luò zài le tā de zhǎng xīn lǐ 。
林轩右手抬起，那光霞如有灵性一般的落在了他的掌心里。
Lin Xuan lost himself in thought, filled with yearning for that eternal realm. After a long while, he raised his head and shook his wrist to put the xian stone back into the jade box.
lín xuān dān shǒu pěng zhe cǐ wù ， dī xià tou lú ， zǐ xì duān xiáng qǐ lái le 。
林轩单手捧着此物，低下头颅，仔细端详起来了。
He then turned his other hand and swiftly affixed several restriction talismans as smoothly as flowing clouds and water.
The long-desired treasure was right before his eyes. With Lin Xuan's composure, he couldn't help but feel a bit breathless.
After all, this wasn't just any ordinary treasure.
"Xian stones, xian stones," he thought to himself. "These are legendary divine objects."
