bǎi huā xiān zi de xīn lǐ nán shòu wú bǐ 。
百花仙子的心里难受无比。
Flower Fairy's heart was in agony.
jì xù zhè yàng tuō yán xià qù ， yǔn luò huò xǔ bù zhì yú 。
继续这样拖延下去，陨落或许不至于。
Continuing to delay like this might not lead to her downfall, but a significant drop in cultivation level to the previous realm was very much possible.
dàn xiū wèi dà diē shàng yí gè jìng jiè ， què shì dà yǒu kě néng dì 。
但修为大跌上一个境界，却是大有可能地。
But that wasn't the most terrifying thing. The true spirit essence had already injured her soul; if she couldn’t treat it promptly, even after healing, there would be severe hidden dangers.
ér zhè hái bú shì zuì kě pà zhī shì 。
而这还不是最可怕之事。
Accursed, if only I hadn't come alone for this ugly toad. Or brought a few life-saving treasures with me, I wouldn't be in such a helpless situation now.
zhēn líng běn yuán de lì liàng yǐ jīng shāng jí le zì jǐ de hún pò ， ruò shì bù néng jí shí zhì yù ， děng shāng hǎo le yǐ hòu ， yě huì liú xià jí dà yǐn huàn dì 。
真灵本源的力量已经伤及了自己的魂魄，若是不能及时治愈，等伤好了以后，也会留下极大隐患地。
Unfortunately, there's no remedy in the cultivation world.
kě wù ， zǎo zhī rú cǐ dāng chū jiù bù gāi yí gè rén lái zhuī zhè chǒu lòu de chán shē ， huò zhě suí shēn duō dài shàng jǐ yàng néng gòu nì zhuǎn qián kūn de jiù mìng bǎo wù ， yě bù zhì yú xiàng xiàn zài zhè yàng ， yī chóu mò zhǎn le 。
可恶，早知如此当初就不该一个人来追这丑陋的蟾赊，或者随身多带上几样能够逆转乾坤的救命宝物，也不至于像现在这样，一筹莫展了。
This woman might be powerful, but she could do nothing more than lie there feeling sorry for herself.
kě xī xiū xiān jiè shì méi yǒu hòu huǐ yào mài de 。
可惜修仙界是没有后悔药卖的。
As for Lin Xuan’s possible help, she almost didn’t hold any hope. A One-pointed Mind cultivator couldn't possibly have both the heart and strength to save her.
cǐ nǚ zài liǎo de ， rú jīn yě zhǐ néng tǎng zài nà lǐ ào nǎo bà le 。
此女再了得，如今也只能躺在那里懊恼罢了。
She wasn't undervaluing Lin Xuan; in Flower Fairy's view, this was a cruel situation. Denying it made no sense, and holding onto unrealistic hopes would only make her more miserable.
zhì yú lín xuān kě néng tí gōng de bāng zhù ， tā jī hū shì bù bào shén me xī wàng de 。
至于林轩可能提供的帮助，她几乎是不抱什么希望的。
Of course, she wouldn’t give up, but what should she do now? She truly didn’t know. To rely on fate seemed unbearable.
yī fēn shén qī xiū shì ， xiǎng yào jiù zhù zì jǐ ， gēn běn jiù yǒu xīn wú lì 。
一分神期修士，想要救助自己，根本就有心无力。
This woman was extremely conflicted. With her strength, even facing a Loose Immortal or Demon King, it was peer-to-peer; when had she ever encountered such setbacks, where survival was impossible and death unattainable?
dào bú shì tā xiǎo kàn lín xuān 。
倒不是她小看林轩。
Lin Xuan, however, did not dwell on these matters like Flower Fairy.
ér shì zài bǎi huā xiān zi kàn lái ， zhè jiù shì cán kù de jú miàn 。
而是在百花仙子看来，这就是残酷的局面。
Though he couldn’t gauge the severity of her injuries, he still had some confidence in his spiritual treasures. He didn't expect to cure her but just needed to provide a little help for his goal to be achieved.
shì shí rú cǐ ， fǒu rèn méi yǒu yì yì ， bào bù qiē shí jì de xī wàng ， zhǐ huì ràng zì jǐ xīn zhōng gèng nán guò ér yǐ 。
事实如此，否认没有意义，抱不切实际的希望，只会让自己心中更难过而已。
This was due to his ample preparation; before leaving, he also brought some Ethereal Nine Immortals Pills with him.
dāng rán ， bǎi huā xiān zi bú huì fàng qì ， rán ér xiàn zài gāi zuò shén me ， tā dàng zhēn bù xiǎo de ， tīng tiān yóu mìng ， yòu shì jué bù gān xīn de 。
当然，百花仙子不会放弃，然而现在该做什么，她当真不晓得，听天由命，又是绝不甘心的。
These divine medicines were naturally born from the heavens and earth, their names merely vague references. These pills had different effects. The purple ones were legendary healing treasures, though they couldn’t bring back the dead or make bones grow flesh, but any severe injury could be stabilized by a single pill.
cǐ nǚ máo dùn yǐ jí ， yǐ tā de shí lì ， biàn shì yù jiàn sàn xiān yāo wáng ， yě shì tóng bèi lùn jiāo dì ， shén me shí hòu yù jiàn guò zhè yàng de cuò zhé ， shuō qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé ， yě shì háo bù wèi guò chuān …
此女矛盾以极，以她的实力，便是遇见散仙妖王，也是同辈论交地，什么时候遇见过这样的挫折，说求生不能，求死不得，也是毫不为过川…
Of course, this didn't apply to Flower Fairy’s current condition, but seeing these pills still brightened her eyes. She was naturally knowledgeable; her initially motionless body began to tremble slightly as she spoke weakly:
lín xuān què méi yǒu xiàng bǎi huā xiān zi yì bān xiǎng nà me duō 。
林轩却没有像百花仙子一般想那么多。
"Xiao Xiao's life-saving pill, no, something different. Could it be the Void Nine Elements Powder? No, Fellow Daoist, may I take this treasure of yours? I will surely offer generous rewards."
suī rán duì fāng shāng shì yán zhòng dào hé děng dì bù ， tā yě wú fǎ chuǎi mó 。
虽然对方伤势严重到何等地步，他也无法揣摩。
Lin Xuan responded sincerely, as if he had never taken advantage before. But Flower Fairy wouldn’t care about his pretense at this moment.
rán ér duì yú zì jǐ shǒu zhōng de líng wù ， duō duō shǎo shǎo ， hái shì yǒu nà me yì diǎn xìn xīn de 。
然而对于自己手中的灵物，多多少少，还是有那么一点信心的。
With her sharp gaze, she could see the value of these pills; though they couldn't restore her to perfect health, even a temporary relief would allow her to recover some abilities and return to her cave abode. There were many divine medicines there, and seeking help from close friends was still an option, despite the immense pain it would bring. This trial could definitely be overcome.
bù qǐ wàng jiāng cǐ nǚ zhì hǎo ， dàn zhǐ yào duì tā duō duō shǎo shǎo yǒu yì diǎn bāng zhù ， zì jǐ de mù dì yě jiù suàn dá dào 。
不企望将此女治好，但只要对她多多少少有一点帮助，自己的目的也就算达到。
Initially helpless, now she saw a glimmer of hope. How could she miss this?
zhè hái yào de yì yú zì jǐ de zhǔn bèi gòu chōng zú ， lín xíng qián ， piāo miǎo jiǔ xiān dān yě dài le yī xiē zài shēn shàng 。
这还要得益于自己的准备够充足，临行前，飘渺九仙丹也带了一些在身上。
Like a drowning man clutching at a straw, even if it was just a piece of grass.
cǐ líng yào nǎi piāo miǎo xiān gōng de zhèn gōng zhī bǎo ， ér qiě yě bú shì gāi gōng de xiū shì liàn zhì ， wèi tiān dì zì shēng zhī wù 。
此灵药乃缥缈仙宫的镇宫之宝，而且也不是该宫的修士炼制，为天地自生之物。
This analogy might not be entirely appropriate, but the principle was similar.
jù tǐ yǒu duō xuán miào lín xuān dōu nán yǐ shuō dé qīng chǔ ， dàn tā zì xìn duì cǐ nǚ huì yǒu bù xiǎo de bāng zhù 。
具体有多玄妙林轩都难以说得清楚，但他自信对此女会有不小的帮助。
Life and death were on the line; even proud Flower Fairy couldn’t afford to be so reserved.
dāng rán ， yòng diào le yǒu xiē bù shě ， bù guò yǔ kě néng de huí bào xiāng bǐ ， nà yòu suàn bù liǎo shén me 。
当然，用掉了有些不舍，不过与可能的回报相比，那又算不了什么。
Fortunately, Lin Xuan was also an astute individual. Wanting to make friends with her, he didn't haggle but showed great respect instead.
shě de shě de ， méi yǒu fù chū ， yòu zěn me huì yǒu shōu huò ？
舍得舍得，没有付出，又怎么会有收获？
The more cooperative he was now, the better his standing in her eyes, and the richer her gratitude would be.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Since Lin Xuan had experienced countless trials on his path to cultivation, how could he not understand human nature?
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò nà tiē yú yù hé biǎo miàn de jìn zhì fú lù ， jū rán wú fēng zì rán diào le 。
林轩一指向前点去，随着他的动作那贴于玉盒表面的禁制符箓，居然无风自燃掉了。
Indeed, Flower Fairy was very satisfied with his response. A hint of gratitude appeared on her face.
suí hòu zài qū zhǐ wēi dàn “ pā dā ” yī shēng hé gài dǎ kāi ， yī kē zǐ sè lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de dān yào yìng rù yǎn lián ， qìn rén xīn pí de yào xiāng suí zhī mí sàn 。
随后再屈指微弹“啪嗒”一声盒盖打开，一颗紫色龙眼大小的丹药映入眼帘，沁人心脾的药香随之弥散。
Lin Xuan pointed a finger forward, enveloping the purple Ethereal Nine Immortals Pill in spiritual light and slowly flying it over.
piāo miǎo jiǔ xiān dān nǎi tiān dì zì shēng zhī wù ， jí biàn zhè míng zì ， yě zhǐ shì yí gè mó hú de chēng hū ， qí shí zhè xiē dān yào de gōng xiào gè bù xiāng tóng 。
飘渺九仙丹乃天地自生之物，即便这名字，也只是一个模糊的称呼，其实这些丹药的功效各不相同。
Though they had initially gained some trust, Lin Xuan still maintained his distance, showing no intention to approach. This improved Flower Fairy’s impression of him significantly.
zǐ sè de ， nǎi shì chuán shuō zhōng de liáo shāng shèng wù ， suī rán bù néng huó sǐ rén ， ròu bái gǔ ， dàn bù lùn shòu shén me zhòng shāng zhǐ yào fú shàng yī lì ， yīng gāi dōu kě yǐ jiāng xìng mìng bǎo zhù 。
紫色的，乃是传说中的疗伤圣物，虽然不能活死人，肉白骨，但不论受什么重伤只要服上一粒，应该都可以将性命保住。
Soon, the Ethereal Nine Immortals Pill reached her side. The rich aroma was more comforting than anything from the mortal world. She opened her mouth and swallowed it whole.
dāng rán ， zhè lǐ shuō de zhòng shāng ， kěn dìng bú shì hé bǎi huā xiān zi xiàn zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， bù guò cǐ yào chū shì hái shì ràng cǐ nǚ yǎn qián yī liàng 。
当然，这里说的重伤，肯定不适合百花仙子现在这种情况，不过此药出世还是让此女眼前一亮。
The pill dissolved in her mouth, releasing a thick medicinal force into her dantian, spreading throughout her body.
tā zì rán shì shí huò de ， yuán běn yī dòng bù dòng de shēn tǐ jìng rán yǒu le qīng wēi chàn dǒu ， chī lì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì duàn duàn xù xù de wēi ruò dào jí chù ：
她自然是识货的，原本一动不动的身体竟然有了轻微颤抖，吃力的声音传入耳朵，却是断断续续的微弱到极处：
Her damaged meridians began to receive some nourishment and repair.
“ xiǎo xiǎo hái dān ， bú duì ， yǒu xiē bù tóng ， nán dào shì tài xū jiǔ yuán sàn ， yě bú duì ， dào yǒu de zhè lì bǎo wù ， kě fǒu gěi qiè shēn tūn fú ， běn xiān zi rú ” chuān bì yǒu zhòng chóu 。”” xiān zi yán zhòng ， fú wēi jì kùn ， nǎi wǒ bèi zhōng rén de běn sè 。”
“小小还丹，不对，有些不同，难道是太虚九元散，也不对，道友的这粒宝物，可否给妾身吞服，本仙子如”川必有重酬。””仙子言重，扶危济困，乃我辈中人的本色。”
But that wasn’t the most important thing.
lín xuān yī běn zhèng jīng de shuō ， fǎng fú zì jǐ cóng lái méi yǒu chèn rén zhī wēi guò ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， bǎi huā xiān zi zì rán bú huì qù jì jiào tā de xū qíng jiǎ yì le 。
林轩一本正经的说，仿佛自己从来没有趁人之危过，不过此时此刻，百花仙子自然不会去计较他的虚情假意了。
What thrilled her was that her nearly disintegrating soul core stabilized after receiving this medicinal power. Though still severely injured, it had improved immensely compared to before.
yǐ tā de mù guāng ， zì rán néng gòu kàn chū zhè lì dān yào de bǎo guì zhī chù ， suī rán bù kě néng ràng zì jǐ wán hǎo rú chū ， dàn zhǐ yào néng gòu zàn shí jiāng shāng shì huǎn jiě zhù ， ràng zì jǐ huī fù xiē xǔ shén tōng ， jiù yǒu wàng huí dào zì jǐ de dòng fǔ 。
以她的目光，自然能够看出这粒丹药的宝贵之处，虽然不可能让自己完好如初，但只要能够暂时将伤势缓解住，让自己恢复些许神通，就有望回到自己的洞府。
The potency of these medicines exceeded her expectations.
nà ér yǒu bù shǎo líng dān miào yào ， hái kě yǐ xiàng zhì jiāo hǎo yǒu xún qiú bāng zhù ， suī rán yě yào jīng lì yī fān jí dà de tòng kǔ ， dàn zhè yī jié kěn dìng kě yǐ chuǎng guò 。
那儿有不少灵丹妙药，还可以像至交好友寻求帮助，虽然也要经历一番极大的痛苦，但这一劫肯定可以闯过。
She took a deep breath, closing her eyes slowly as she began to absorb the medicine.
yuán běn yǐ shì wú zhù ， rú jīn què jī yuán qiǎo hé ， kàn jiàn yì diǎn tuō kùn de xī wàng ， cǐ nǚ zěn me kě néng cuò guò 。
原本已是无助，如今却机缘巧合，看见一点脱困的希望，此女怎么可能错过。
Having narrowly escaped death, every benefit from this miraculous pill was worth preserving.
jiù fǎng fú yī míng luò shuǐ zhě ， nǎ pà shì yī gēn dào cǎo yě yào jǐn jǐn zhuā zhù 。
就仿佛一名落水者，哪怕是一根稻草也要紧紧抓住。
Seeing that Flower Fairy no longer paid attention to him, Lin Xuan felt a flicker of hesitation.
zhè ge bǐ yù huò xǔ yǒu bù qià dàng zhī chù ， dàn dào lǐ chà bu duō jiù shì zhè yàng de 。
这个比喻或许有不恰当之处，但道理差不多就是这样的。
Should he strike now?
shì guān shēng sǐ ， biàn shì jiāo ào rú bǎi huā xiān zi ， cǐ kè yě zài gù bù shàng jīn chí 。
事关生死，便是骄傲如百花仙子，此刻也再顾不上矜持。
It seemed like she was at her weakest defense right now. If he could catch her off guard and kill her, her storage bracelet would be his.
hǎo zài lín xuān yě shì jí cōng míng de rén wù ， yǒu xīn jié jiāo cǐ nǚ ， zì rán bú huì tǎo jià huán jià shén me ， fǎn ér yī liǎn de gōng jìng zhī sè 。
好在林轩也是极聪明的人物，有心结交此女，自然不会讨价还价什么，反而一脸的恭敬之色。
Though rescuing her with timely aid would earn her gratitude, the reward from her storage bracelet couldn’t compare.
tā zhè shí hòu yuè shì hé zuò ， zhào gù cǐ nǚ de miàn zi ， bǎi huā xiān zi xīn zhōng gǎn jī ， dào shí hòu suǒ gěi de huí bào ， bì rán yě yuè fēng hòu de 。
他这时候越是合作，照顾此女的面子，百花仙子心中感激，到时候所给的回报，必然也越丰厚的。
Would it be worth taking a risk?
lín xuān zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， jīng lì de xīng fēng xuè yǔ shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， zhè zhōng jiān de rén qíng shì gù ， yòu zěn me huì bù qīng chǔ 。
林轩自从踏上修仙之路，经历的腥风血雨数不胜数，这中间的人情世故，又怎么会不清楚。
A bold move might yield hundreds or even thousands of times more in return.
guǒ rán ， duì lín xuān de fǎn yìng ， bǎi huā xiān zi shí fēn mǎn yì ， liǎn shàng yǐn yǐn liú lù chū yī sī gǎn jī 。
果然，对林轩的反应，百花仙子十分满意，脸上隐隐流露出一丝感激。
Lin Xuan hesitated for just an instant. His actions showed no sign of anything amiss, but he didn't take that risk. Instead, he sighed and retreated several hundred feet, finding a place to meditate as if guarding her soul.
ér lín xuān zé qīng qīng yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， nà lì zǐ sè de piāo miǎo jiǔ xiān dān bèi yī piàn líng guāng bāo guǒ ， huǎn huǎn de fēi guò qù le 。
而林轩则轻轻一指向前点去，随着他的动作，那粒紫色的飘渺九仙丹被一片灵光包裹，缓缓的飞过去了。
This seemed like the perfect facade for treating her injuries.
Flower Fairy's heart was in agony.
Continuing to delay like this might not lead to her downfall, but a significant drop in cultivation level to the previous realm was very much possible.
But that wasn't the most terrifying thing. The true spirit essence had already injured her soul; if she couldn’t treat it promptly, even after healing, there would be severe hidden dangers.
