“ mò míng qí miào de yǒu tiān jié jiàng luò ， nǐ shì shuō tóng wǒ yī yàng ， dōu shì zài tiān jié yuán běn bù gāi là xià lái de shí hòu ， què jiàng lín le me ？” cǐ shì guān xì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lín xuān zì rán yào wèn qīng chǔ 。
“莫名其妙的有天劫降落，你是说同我一样，都是在天劫原本不该落下来的时候，却降临了么？”此事关系非同小可，林轩自然要问清楚。
"Is it that a heavenly tribulation fell unexpectedly, just like me? It happened when the tribulation shouldn't have fallen but did?" This matter was of great importance, so Lin Xuan naturally had to clarify everything.
“ bù cuò ， jī hū yě shì tiāo nài lóng zhēn rén jìn jí zuì guān jiàn ， huò zhě shòu shāng zuì xū ruò de shí kè ， nà diǎn jí shàng ， lèi sì de jì zǎi ， yǒu shù cì zhī duō 。” gōng sūn yù ér níng zhòng de shuō ， liǎn shàng yě mǎn shì bù jiě yǔ yí huò 。
“不错，几乎也是挑鼐龙真人晋级最关键，或者受伤最虚弱的时刻，那典籍上，类似的记载，有数次之多。”公孙玉儿凝重的说，脸上也满是不解与疑惑。
"Indeed. Almost every time, it occurred during the most critical moments for Master Demonic Tyrant's advancement or his weakest and most injured state," Public Yu'er said with a serious expression on her face, clearly puzzled by this phenomenon.
lín xuān zhòu méi sī suǒ ， cóng zhè miáo shù de qíng xíng ， què shí yǔ zì jǐ yù jiàn de xiāng tóng ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， gèng wēi xiǎn yī xiē 。
林轩皱眉思索，从这描述的情形，确实与自己遇见的相同，甚至可以说，更危险一些。
Lin Xuan frowned as he pondered. The description did indeed match what he had encountered, even more so in terms of danger.
zhǐ shì zì jǐ yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén chú le yǒu guò yí miàn zhī yuán yǐ wài ， lín xuān zhēn xiǎng bù chū ， hái yǒu shén me lián xì 。
只是自己与鼐龙真人除了有过一面之缘以外，林轩真想不出，还有什么联系。
However, apart from having met Master Demonic Tyrant briefly, Lin Xuan couldn't think of any other connection between them.
“ nà diǎn jí ， nǐ kě yǒu dài zhe ？”
“那典籍，你可有带着？”
"Have you brought that book with you?"
“ shì de ， shī shū 。”
“是的，师叔。”
"Yes, Uncle."
gōng sūn yù ér diǎn le diǎn tóu lú ， yù shǒu yī fú ， yī dào líng guāng fēi lüè ér chū ， lín xuān shēn shǒu jiē guò ， guǒ rán shì yī yù tóng ， ér qiě hái shì nián dài shí fēn jiǔ yuǎn de nà zhǒng 。
公孙玉儿点了点头颅，玉手一拂，一道灵光飞掠而出，林轩伸手接过，果然是一玉瞳，而且还是年代十分久远的那种。
Public Yu'er nodded and waved her hand. A beam of spiritual light shot out, which Lin Xuan caught. Sure enough, it was a jade eye, one from long ago.
wēi wēi dī xià tou lú ， jiāng shén shí chén rù ， lǐ miàn de xìn xī ， dùn shí zài nǎo hǎi zhōng liú tǎng ér guò 。
微微低下头颅，将神识沉入，里面的信息，顿时在脑海中流淌而过。
He lowered his head slightly and delved into the information within. It flowed through his mind quickly as he read through it.
hěn kuài jiù kàn wán le ， bì jìng zhè yòu bú shì cān wù gōng fǎ ， hái xū yào yī zì yī dùn xì xì de tǐ wù ， zì rán shì hěn kuài jiù kàn wán le 。
很快就看完了，毕竟这又不是参悟功法，还需要一字一顿细细的体悟，自然是很快就看完了。
After a short while, he finished reading. Since this wasn't about understanding a cultivation technique, there was no need to ponder each word; thus, he finished quickly.
guǒ rán ， zì jǐ céng jīng yù jiàn de kùn rǎo ， nài lóng zhēn rén yě tóng yàng yǒu guò ， kě xī ， lǐ miàn chú le jì zǎi miáo shù ， guān yú cǐ shì de yuán yóu ， què yī jù yě bù céng tí guò 。
果然，自己曾经遇见的困扰，鼐龙真人也同样有过，可惜，里面除了记载描述，关于此事的缘由，却一句也不曾提过。
Sure enough, Master Demonic Tyrant had also faced similar tribulations in the past, but the book didn't provide any explanation for why such events occurred.
lín xuān bì shàng shuāng móu ， sī suǒ le piàn kè ， hái shì bù dé yào lǐng 。
林轩闭上双眸，思索了片刻，还是不得要领。
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and thought for a moment. He still couldn’t figure out what was happening.
xiàn suǒ tài shǎo le 。
线索太少了。
The clues were too scarce.
dàn zǒng shì liáo shèng yú wú ， zhè ge mí tí xiǎng yào jiě huò ， kǒng pà dé qīn zì xún wèn nài lóng zhēn rén cái kě 。
但总是聊胜于无，这个谜题想要解惑，恐怕得亲自询问鼐龙真人才可。
But it was better than nothing. To solve this mystery, he would have to personally ask Master Demonic Tyrant.
zhè zài bié rén kàn lái ， shì bù kě néng wán chéng de rèn wù ， dàn duì lín xuān lái shuō ， què wèi bì rú cǐ ， shàng cì mó jiè shì liàn ， yì wài yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén yǒu le yí miàn zhī yuán ， liǎng rén shèn shì tóu jī ， lín bié zhī shí ， nài lóng zhēn rén hái sòng yǔ tā yī kuài yù pèi zuò wèi xìn wù ， gù ér lín xuān ruò xiǎng yào qù nài lóng zhēn rén de dòng fǔ ， què shì yǒu jī huì de 。
这在别人看来，是不可能完成的任务，但对林轩来说，却未必如此，上次魔界试炼，意外与鼐龙真人有了一面之缘，两人甚是投机，临别之时，鼐龙真人还送予他一块玉佩做为信物，故而林轩若想要去鼐龙真人的洞府，却是有机会的。
This seemed impossible from an outsider's perspective but not necessarily so for Lin Xuan. During his last trial in the Demon Realm, he had met Master Demonic Tyrant briefly and they got along well. Before parting ways, Master Demonic Tyrant even gave him a jade pendant as a token of trust. Therefore, if Lin Xuan wanted to visit Master Demonic Tyrant's abode, there was an opportunity.
kàn lái dé zhǎo yí gè hé shì de shí jiān ， qù bài fǎng yī xià zhè wèi sān jiè chí míng de rén wù 。
看来得找一个合适的时间，去拜访一下这位三界驰名的人物。
He decided to find the right time to pay this renowned figure in the three realms a visit.
lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de xiǎng zhe 。
林轩如此这般的想着。
Lin Xuan thought about it like that.
jiàn lín xuān zài nà lǐ sī suǒ ， gōng sūn yù ér zì rán bù gǎn dǎ rǎo shén me ， qí shí tā de xīn lǐ ， duō shǎo yě yǒu yī xiē tǎn tè 。
见林轩在那里思索，公孙玉儿自然不敢打扰什么，其实她的心里，多少也有一些忐忑。
Seeing Lin Xuan deep in thought, Public Yu'er didn't dare disturb him. In truth, she felt some anxiety as well.
nà yù tóng ， tā zì rán yě kàn guò ， lǐ miàn tí dào de qíng kuàng ， suī rán yǔ shī shū xiāng tóng ， rán ér xìn xī liàng yī jiù shì tài shǎo le ， hěn nán yǒu shén me bāng zhù 。
那玉瞳，她自然也看过，里面提到的情况，虽然与师叔相同，然而信息量依旧是太少了，很难有什么帮助。
She had seen the jade eye before and while the situation described was similar to her uncle's, there wasn't much information. It wouldn’t be of much help.
kě chú cǐ yǐ wài ， tā fèi jǐn xīn kǔ ， yě zài yě zhǎo bú dào yǔ cǐ xiāng guān de dōng xī ， jiù bù zhī dào lín shī shū duì cǐ ， shì fǒu huì gǎn dào mǎn yì 。
可除此以外，她费尽辛苦，也再也找不到与此相关的东西，就不知道林师叔对此，是否会感到满意。
But since she couldn’t find anything else related to this matter after much effort, she wondered if Lin Uncle would be satisfied or even angry for being confused.
shèn zhì yǒu kě néng yīn wèi bèi nòng dé xī lǐ hú tú ， fǎn ér dà nù ， zhè dōu shì yǒu kě néng de 。
甚至有可能因为被弄得稀里糊涂，反而大怒，这都是有可能的。
Many high-ranking cultivators were known to have unpredictable tempers. She only dared do so because she saw Lin Xuan as a gentle person. But until he gave his opinion, she felt some fear and anxiety.
bì jìng hěn duō gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dōu shì pí qì gǔ guài de rén wù ， tā yě shì kàn lín xuān shí fēn suí hé ， gù ér cái gǎn zhè me zuò ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zài lín xuān biǎo tài yǐ qián ， zǒng shì yǒu yì diǎn hài pà yǔ tǎn tè 。
毕竟很多高阶修仙者，都是脾气古怪的人物，她也是看林轩十分随和，故而才敢这么做，但不管如何，在林轩表态以前，总是有一点害怕与忐忑。
Just then, Lin Xuan's voice reached her ears with an expectant tone: "You did well."
ér jiù zài zhè shí ， lín xuān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dài zhe qī xǔ zhī sè：“ nǐ zuò dé hěn hǎo 。”
而就在这时，林轩的声音传入耳朵，带着期许之sè：“你做得很好。”
Hearing those words, Public Yu'er’s face lit up, and the weight of her worries lifted. She knew that this adventure had paid off in the end.
zhè jù huà yī rù ěr duǒ ， gōng sūn yù ér yù ér de liǎn shàng jiù lù chū xiào róng ， xīn zhōng de yī kuài dà shí tou yě luò dì le ， tā zhī dào zì jǐ zhè yī cì mào xiǎn ， zuì hòu suàn shì bó duì le 。
这句话一入耳朵，公孙玉儿玉儿的脸上就露出笑容，心中的一块大石头也落地了，她知道自己这一次冒险，最后算是博对了。
"Uncle flatters me. This is what a disciple should do. To serve Uncle is my honor," she said, lowering her head without any trace of arrogance.
“ shī shū miù zàn le ， zhè yī qiè dōu shì dì zǐ gāi zuò de ， néng wèi shī shū xiào láo ， nǎi shì dì zǐ de róng xìng 。” cǐ nǚ dī xià tou lú ， yì diǎn yě méi yǒu jiāo ào de shén sè。
“师叔谬赞了，这一切都是弟子该做的，能为师叔效劳，乃是弟子的荣幸。”此女低下头颅，一点也没有骄傲的神sè。
"Indeed."
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
Lin Xuan’s face showed appreciation for her composure and dedication. "I am meticulous about rewards and punishments. It's been a century since you remembered this task. That's especially commendable. Rest assured, I will give you an appropriate treasure."
róng chǒng bù jīng ， guāng shì zhè fèn xīn xìng， jiù jí wéi nán dé ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū zàn shǎng zhī sè。
荣宠不惊，光是这份心xìng，就极为难得，林轩脸上露出赞赏之sè。
"Thank you, Uncle."
“ lín mǒu shì shǎng fá fēn míng de ， dōu bǎi nián le ， nǐ hái jì de zhè ge rèn wù ， yóu wéi nán dé ， fàng xīn ， lín mǒu huì sòng yǔ nǐ hé shì de bǎo wù 。”
“林某是赏罚分明的，都百年了，你还记得这个任务，尤为难得，放心，林某会送与你合适的宝物。”
She was overjoyed. Last time, he had merely repaired her abode and given her priceless treasures. This time, with his generous nature, she couldn't imagine what kind of wealth he would reward her.
“ xiè xiè shī shū 。
“谢谢师叔。
Her excitement was palpable despite her attempt to remain calm. The fire in her eyes could not be concealed.
cǐ nǚ dà xǐ ， shàng cì jǐn jǐn shì xiū shàn dòng fǔ ， duì fāng jiù zèng yǔ le jià zhí jí wéi liǎo de de bǎo wù ， nà yī cì ， jǐn jǐn shì suí shǒu ná chū ， zhè yī huí ， yǐ shī shū chū shǒu zhī háo kuò ， tā yě nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng ， huì jiǎng lì zěn yàng de cái bǎo 。
此女大喜，上次仅仅是修缮洞府，对方就赠予了价值极为了得的宝物，那一次，仅仅是随手拿出，这一回，以师叔出手之豪阔，她也难以想象，会奖励怎样的财宝。
"Extend your hand."
chú le qī dài hái shì qī dài ， suī rán jǐn liàng bǎo chí píng jìng zhī sè， dàn móu dǐ shēn chù de nà fèn huǒ rè ， què shì zěn me yě yǎn shì bú zhù dì 。
除了期待还是期待，虽然尽量保持平静之sè，但眸底深处的那份火热，却是怎么也掩饰不住地。
"Hand?" Hearing Lin Xuan's instruction, Public Yu'er was taken aback but did as told, extending her hands like polished jade.
“ nǐ jiāng shǒu shēn chū lái 。”
“你将手伸出来。”
Her hands were beautiful, with delicate fingers without a flaw, akin to fine jade.
“ shēn shǒu ？” tīng le lín xuān de fēn fù ， gōng sūn yù ér yī dāi ， xīn zhōng dà wèi qí guài ， dàn hái shì méi yǒu chí yí ， jiāng yī shuāng rú tóng hào yù bān de shǒu shēn le chū qù 。
“伸手？”听了林轩的吩咐，公孙玉儿一呆，心中大为奇怪，但还是没有迟疑，将一双如同皓玉般的手伸了出去。
Lin Xuan extended his hand and grasped her wrist. He then delved into her spiritual root to assess its quality.
tā de shǒu hěn měi ， shí zhǐ qiān qiān ， fēn háo xiá cī yě wú ， jiù rú tóng shàng hǎo de měi yù yì bān 。
她的手很美，十指芊芊，分毫瑕疵也无，就如同上好的美玉一般。
After a century of not giving up on the task, whether out of loyalty or ulterior motives, Lin Xuan was deeply moved. And she had indeed found something useful for him.
lín xuān yě shēn chū shǒu lái ， jiāng gōng sūn yù ér de hào wàn wò zhù ， suí hòu jiāng shén shí chén rù ， tā tàn chá cǐ nǚ de líng gēn zī zhì rú hé 。
林轩也伸出手来，将公孙玉儿的皓腕握住，随后将神识沉入，她探查此女的灵根资质如何。
So he decided to reward Public Yu'er generously.
bǎi nián le ， dōu hái bù fàng qì zì jǐ fā bù de rèn wù ， bù guǎn shì jìn zhōng zhí shǒu yě hǎo ， hái shì lìng yǒu suǒ tú yě bà ， lín xuān dōu hěn gǎn dòng ， gèng bú yào shuō ， cǐ nǚ hái zhēn zhǎo dào duì zì jǐ yǒu yòng de dōng xī 。
百年了，都还不放弃自己发布的任务，不管是尽忠职守也好，还是另有所图也罢，林轩都很感动，更不要说，此女还真找到对自己有用的东西。
Since this reward was significant, it couldn't be just some random treasures and elixirs.
suǒ yǐ lín xuān jué dìng jǐ yǔ gōng sūn yù ér yù ér yī fèn fēng hòu de jiǎng lì 。
所以林轩决定给予公孙玉儿玉儿一份丰厚的奖励。
Lin Xuan planned to give her a great chance at immortality, tailored specifically for her.
zhè jiǎng lì jì rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dāng rán bù kě néng shì suí biàn ná chū yī xiē dān yào fǎ bǎo jiù jiāng qí dǎ fā le 。
这奖励既然非同小可，当然不可能是随便拿出一些丹药法宝就将其打发了。
To tailor the gift, Lin Xuan needed to check her spiritual root quality first. Based on that, he would give her the most suitable treasure.
lín xuān zhǔn bèi sòng yǔ tā yī cháng dà de xiān yuán ， ér qiě shì wèi cǐ nǚ liàng shēn dìng zuò dì 。
林轩准备送与她一场大的仙缘，而且是为此女量身定做地。
This was indeed painstaking work.
jì rán shì liàng shēn dìng zuò ， lín xuān dāng rán yào jiǎn chá yī xià cǐ nǚ de líng gēn zī zhì jiū jìng rú hé ， cái kě yǐ gēn jù jù tǐ de qíng kuàng ， zèng sòng gěi tā zuì shì hé de dān yào bǎo wù 。
既然是量身定做，林轩当然要检查一下此女的灵根资质究竟如何，才可以根据具体的情况，赠送给她最适合的丹药宝物。
However, the result left Lin Xuan in shock.
zhè yě suàn shì shà fèi kǔ xīn le 。
这也算是煞费苦心了。
Regarding Public Yu'er, when Lin Xuan asked her to extend her hand, she was initially surprised and a bit embarrassed. But realizing it was just an assessment of her spiritual root, she relaxed.
rán ér jiǎn shì de jié guǒ què ràng lín xuān dà jīng shī sè。
然而检视的结果却让林轩大惊失sè。
Seeing Uncle's expression of surprise, Public Yu'er couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, what is it?"
zài shuō gōng sūn yù ér ， yuán běn lín xuān ràng tā shēn chū shǒu lái de shí hòu ， cǐ nǚ zài jīng è zhī yú ， yě yī zhèn hài xiū ， bù guò suí hòu fā xiàn ， shī shū shì tàn chá zì jǐ de líng gēn tǐ zhì ， yě jiù wèi zhī shì rán le 。
再说公孙玉儿，原本林轩让她伸出手来的时候，此女在惊愕之余，也一阵害羞，不过随后发现，师叔是探查自己的灵根体质，也就为之释然了。
Indeed, the situation was confusing. Her spiritual root was excellent, but not special; merely a highly refined木质灵根.
cǐ shí jiàn shī shū mǎn liǎn jīng yà zhī sè， gōng sūn yù ér rěn bú zhù kāi kǒu le ：“ shī shū ， zěn me le ？”
此时见师叔满脸惊讶之sè，公孙玉儿忍不住开口了：“师叔，怎么了？”
While impressive, it wasn’t unique enough to warrant such an unusual reaction from Uncle.
yě nán guài cǐ nǚ jīng è ， tā de líng gēn zī zhì bù sú ， dàn bìng fēi yōng yǒu shén me tè shū tǐ zhì ， bù guò jiù shì jí wéi yōu yì de mù shǔ xìng líng gēn ér yǐ 。
也难怪此女惊愕，她的灵根资质不俗，但并非拥有什么特殊体质，不过就是极为优异的木属xìng灵根而已。
Lin Xuan didn't answer her question directly.
suī rán yě suàn le bù qǐ ， dàn tán bù shàng xī qì ， shī shū zhè yàng de fǎn yìng ， qǐ bù shì tài gǔ guài le xiē 。
虽然也算了不起，但谈不上吸气，师叔这样的反应，岂不是太古怪了些。
Instead, he lowered his head and grabbed her other hand, delving into its spiritual root.
lín xuān méi yǒu huí dá tā de wèn tí 。
林轩没有回答她的问题。
After a long time, Lin Xuan raised his head again.
ér shì dī xià tou lú ， yòu jiāng gōng sūn yù ér de lìng wài yī zhī shǒu zhuā guò ， jiāng shén shí chén rù 。
而是低下头颅，又将公孙玉儿的另外一只手抓过，将神识沉入。
"Indeed," he said with relief, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
liáng jiǔ ， lín xuān cái chóng xīn zhāo qǐ tóu 。
良久，林轩才重新招起头。
"What indeed?"
“ guǒ rán méi cuò 。” lín xuān zhǎng chū le yì kǒu qì de shuō ， yǎn zhōng jìng shǎn guò yī sī jīng xǐ zhī sè。
“果然没错。”林轩长出了一口气的说，眼中竟闪过一丝惊喜之sè。
Public Yu'er was even more confused as she listened.
“ shén me méi cuò 。”
“什么没错。”
"You are a木质灵体."
gōng sūn yù ér què yuè tīng yuè shì hú tú 。
公孙玉儿却越听越是糊涂。
"What is a wooden spirit body?" Public Yu'er became increasingly curious. She thought Uncle had made a mistake; she only had an ordinary木质灵根.
“ méi xiǎng dào nǐ jū rán shì mù líng zhī tǐ 。”
“没想到你居然是木灵之体。”
"Have you heard of the木质灵体? But you should know about mutated spiritual roots," Lin Xuan said.
“ mù líng zhī tǐ ， nà shì shén me dōng xī ？”
“木灵之体，那是什么东西？”
"I naturally do," Public Yu'er replied honestly.
gōng sūn yù ér yuè fā hào qí ， xīn xiǎng shī shū zài bú shì gǎo cuò le ， zì jǐ míng míng zhǐ shì bǐ jiào pǔ tōng de mù shǔ xìng líng gēn ér yǐ 。
公孙玉儿越发好奇，心想师叔在不是搞错了，自己明明只是比较普通的木属xìng灵根而已。
"A mutated木质spirit root is called 至木质灵根. If it mutates again, that’s the legendary wooden spirit body," Lin Xuan explained. This was similar to his other three disciples: the 上官 sisters were雷魂 and 冰魄, while Ye Ying had a 风灵体.
“ mù líng zhī tǐ nǐ méi yǒu tīng guò ， dàn biàn yì líng gēn zǒng gāi xiǎo de 。”
“木灵之体你没有听过，但变异灵根总该晓得。”
A木质灵体 was the same but hidden deeper. Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t notice it and would treat it as an ordinary木质spirit root.
“ zhè dì zǐ dāng rán shì zhī dào de 。” gōng sūn yù ér lǎo shí de shuō 。
“这弟子当然是知道的。”公孙玉儿老实的说。
"Yu'er, I've explained everything. Will you be willing to serve me?"
“ mù shǔ xìng de biàn yì líng gēn bèi chēng wéi zhì mù líng gēn ， ruò shì zài zhè ge jī chǔ shàng zài biàn yì yī cì ， nà jiù shì chuán shuō zhōng de mù líng zhī tǐ 。” lín xuān xiáng xì jiě shì ， zhè yǔ zì jǐ lìng wài sān gè tú dì de qíng kuàng shì yī yàng de ， zhǐ bù guò shàng guān jiě mèi shì léi hún ， bīng pò ， ér yè yǐng nà yā tou zé shì fēng líng zhī tǐ 。
“木属xìng的变异灵根被称为至木灵根，若是在这个基础上再变异一次，那就是传说中的木灵之体。”林轩详细解释，这与自己另外三个徒弟的情况是一样的，只不过上官姐妹是雷魂，冰魄，而叶颖那丫头则是风灵之体。

mù líng zhī tǐ yě shì tóng yàng dào lǐ ， zhǐ bù guò yǐn cáng dé gēng shēn yī xiē ， ruò shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， gēn běn jiù kàn bù chū ， huì dàng zuò pǔ tōng de mù shǔ xìng líng gēn chǔ lǐ 。
木灵之体也是同样道理，只不过隐藏得更深一些，若是普通的修仙者，根本就看不出，会当作普通的木属xìng灵根处理。
How should the fourth chapter go? Every chapter asks for votes, and Phantom Rain doesn't know what to say. But it can’t be avoided. The competition is fierce during the double points period, and Phantom Rain has been working hard for the last month. It's almost the last day, and he really doesn't want to fall behind at the last moment.
“ rú hé ， yù ér ， wǒ yǐ jīng jiě shì qīng chǔ ， nǐ yuàn yì bài wǒ wèi shī me ？”PS： fán rén wú wǒ méng zhǔ dǎ shǎng le yī wàn qǐ diǎn bì ， xiè xiè wú wǒ méng zhǔ ， wǒ huì jì xù nǔ lì 。
“如何，玉儿，我已经解释清楚，你愿意拜我为师么？”PS：凡人无我盟主打赏了一万起点币，谢谢无我盟主，我会继续努力。
So, he had to ask for support from all friends. He would still write four chapters tomorrow.

第四更怎么说呢，每章都求票，幻雨自己都不知道该怎么说了，但不求又不行，还是那句话，双倍期间，竞争无比激烈，幻雨努力了整整最后一个月，马上就是最后一天了，实在不想在最后时刻被反超。
Phantom Rain wrote four chapters in a row today, which was his best effort.
suǒ yǐ zhǐ néng hòu yán ， qǐng gè wèi dào yǒu dǐng lì zhī chí 。
所以只能厚颜，请各位道友鼎力支持。
On the final day, don’t save your votes; cast them all down.

大家放心，幻雨会拼到底，明天依旧会是四更。
Please vote for monthly tickets! I need them very much!
lián xù sān tiān sì gèng le ， zhè zhǒng chéng dù ， huàn yǔ zhēn shì jìn lì le 。
连续三天四更了，这种程度，幻雨真是尽力了。
Vote for monthly tickets!
"Is it that a heavenly tribulation fell unexpectedly, just like me? It happened when the tribulation shouldn't have fallen but did?" This matter was of great importance, so Lin Xuan naturally had to clarify everything.
"Indeed. Almost every time, it occurred during the most critical moments for Master Demonic Tyrant's advancement or his weakest and most injured state," Public Yu'er said with a serious expression on her face, clearly puzzled by this phenomenon.
"Oh?"
Lin Xuan frowned as he pondered. The description did indeed match what he had encountered, even more so in terms of danger.
However, apart from having met Master Demonic Tyrant briefly, Lin Xuan couldn't think of any other connection between them.
"Have you brought that book with you?"
"Yes, Uncle."
Public Yu'er nodded and waved her hand. A beam of spiritual light shot out, which Lin Xuan caught. Sure enough, it was a jade eye, one from long ago.
He lowered his head slightly and delved into the information within. It flowed through his mind quickly as he read through it.
After a short while, he finished reading. Since this wasn't about understanding a cultivation technique, there was no need to ponder each word; thus, he finished quickly.
Sure enough, Master Demonic Tyrant had also faced similar tribulations in the past, but the book didn't provide any explanation for why such events occurred.
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and thought for a moment. He still couldn’t figure out what was happening.
The clues were too scarce.
But it was better than nothing. To solve this mystery, he would have to personally ask Master Demonic Tyrant.
This seemed impossible from an outsider's perspective but not necessarily so for Lin Xuan. During his last trial in the Demon Realm, he had met Master Demonic Tyrant briefly and they got along well. Before parting ways, Master Demonic Tyrant even gave him a jade pendant as a token of trust. Therefore, if Lin Xuan wanted to visit Master Demonic Tyrant's abode, there was an opportunity.
He decided to find the right time to pay this renowned figure in the three realms a visit.
Lin Xuan thought about it like that.
Seeing Lin Xuan deep in thought, Public Yu'er didn't dare disturb him. In truth, she felt some anxiety as well.
She had seen the jade eye before and while the situation described was similar to her uncle's, there wasn't much information. It wouldn’t be of much help.
But since she couldn’t find anything else related to this matter after much effort, she wondered if Lin Uncle would be satisfied or even angry for being confused.
Many high-ranking cultivators were known to have unpredictable tempers. She only dared do so because she saw Lin Xuan as a gentle person. But until he gave his opinion, she felt some fear and anxiety.
Just then, Lin Xuan's voice reached her ears with an expectant tone: "You did well."
Hearing those words, Public Yu'er’s face lit up, and the weight of her worries lifted. She knew that this adventure had paid off in the end.
"Uncle flatters me. This is what a disciple should do. To serve Uncle is my honor," she said, lowering her head without any trace of arrogance.
"Indeed."
Lin Xuan’s face showed appreciation for her composure and dedication. "I am meticulous about rewards and punishments. It's been a century since you remembered this task. That's especially commendable. Rest assured, I will give you an appropriate treasure."
"Thank you, Uncle."
She was overjoyed. Last time, he had merely repaired her abode and given her priceless treasures. This time, with his generous nature, she couldn't imagine what kind of wealth he would reward her.
Her excitement was palpable despite her attempt to remain calm. The fire in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Extend your hand."
"Hand?" Hearing Lin Xuan's instruction, Public Yu'er was taken aback but did as told, extending her hands like polished jade.
Her hands were beautiful, with delicate fingers without a flaw, akin to fine jade.
Lin Xuan extended his hand and grasped her wrist. He then delved into her spiritual root to assess its quality.
After a century of not giving up on the task, whether out of loyalty or ulterior motives, Lin Xuan was deeply moved. And she had indeed found something useful for him.
So he decided to reward Public Yu'er generously.
Since this reward was significant, it couldn't be just some random treasures and elixirs.
Lin Xuan planned to give her a great chance at immortality, tailored specifically for her.
To tailor the gift, Lin Xuan needed to check her spiritual root quality first. Based on that, he would give her the most suitable treasure.
This was indeed painstaking work.
However, the result left Lin Xuan in shock.
Regarding Public Yu'er, when Lin Xuan asked her to extend her hand, she was initially surprised and a bit embarrassed. But realizing it was just an assessment of her spiritual root, she relaxed.
Seeing Uncle's expression of surprise, Public Yu'er couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, what is it?"
Indeed, the situation was confusing. Her spiritual root was excellent, but not special; merely a highly refined木质灵根.
While impressive, it wasn’t unique enough to warrant such an unusual reaction from Uncle.
Lin Xuan didn't answer her question directly.
Instead, he lowered his head and grabbed her other hand, delving into its spiritual root.
After a long time, Lin Xuan raised his head again.
"Indeed," he said with relief, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"What indeed?"
Public Yu'er was even more confused as she listened.
"You are a木质灵体."
"What is a wooden spirit body?" Public Yu'er became increasingly curious. She thought Uncle had made a mistake; she only had an ordinary木质灵根.
"Have you heard of the木质灵体? But you should know about mutated spiritual roots," Lin Xuan said.
"I naturally do," Public Yu'er replied honestly.
"A mutated木质spirit root is called 至木质灵根. If it mutates again, that’s the legendary wooden spirit body," Lin Xuan explained. This was similar to his other three disciples: the 上官 sisters were雷魂 and 冰魄, while Ye Ying had a 风灵体.
A木质灵体 was the same but hidden deeper. Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t notice it and would treat it as an ordinary木质spirit root.
"Yu'er, I've explained everything. Will you be willing to serve me?"

How should the fourth chapter go? Every chapter asks for votes, and Phantom Rain doesn't know what to say. But it can’t be avoided. The competition is fierce during the double points period, and Phantom Rain has been working hard for the last month. It's almost the last day, and he really doesn't want to fall behind at the last moment.
So, he had to ask for support from all friends. He would still write four chapters tomorrow.
Phantom Rain wrote four chapters in a row today, which was his best effort.
On the final day, don’t save your votes; cast them all down.
Please vote for monthly tickets! I need them very much!
