zhèng yīn wèi tā rèn wéi lín xuān bù kě néng huò dé yù wài tiān jīn zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， zì rán yě jiù bù kě néng xiū xí jiàn líng huà xū le ， suí hòu tā yòu ràng lín xuān duì shén hún fā xià shì yán ， jué bù jiāng cǐ mì shù chuán yǔ dì èr gè rén xiǎo de 。
正因为她认为林轩不可能获得域外天金这件宝物，自然也就不可能修习剑灵化虚了，随后她又让林轩对神魂发下誓言，绝不将此秘术传予第二个人晓得。
Because she believed that Lin Xuan could not obtain the Extraordinary Heaven Metal, naturally he couldn’t practice Sword Spirit Sublimation. She then made Lin Xuan swear to her with his divine soul, vowing never to reveal this secret technique to anyone else.
zài lín xuān tóng yì yǐ hòu ， tā cái jiāng cǐ gōng fǎ xiàng zèng de 。
在林轩同意以后，她才将此功法相赠的。
Only after Lin Xuan agreed did she gift him the cultivation method.
rán ér bǎi huā xiān zi de kǎo liáng gù rán méi yǒu cuò ， tā què nǎ lǐ xiǎo de ， lín xuān jī yuán qiǎo hé ， yǐ jīng dé dào yù wài tiān jīn le ， bìng róng rù běn mìng bǎo wù ， rú cǐ yī lái ， jiù mǎn zú le xiū xí jiàn líng huà xū de yāo qiú 。
然而百花仙子的考量固然没有错，她却哪里晓得，林轩机缘巧合，已经得到域外天金了，并融入本命宝物，如此一来，就满足了修习剑灵化虚的要求。
Although Fairy Hundred Flowers’ assessment was correct, she had no idea that Lin Xuan had coincidentally obtained Extraordinary Heaven Metal and integrated it into his personal treasure. This satisfied the requirements for practicing Sword Spirit Sublimation.
qiān suàn wàn suàn hái shì bèi lín xuān piàn le 。
千算万算还是被林轩骗了。
She underestimated Lin Xuan; he had outsmarted her.
ń ， yě bù néng shuō piàn ， zhǐ shì lín xuān shuǎ le yì diǎn xiǎo huá tóu 。
嗯，也不能说骗，只是林轩耍了一点小滑头。
Well, one couldn’t say he tricked her, but rather that Lin Xuan played a small trick on her.
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， jiàn líng huà xū zì jǐ shì xué huì le ， cóng zhè ge jiǎo dù ， cóng bǎi huā xiān zi nǎ lǐ ， zì jǐ shì huò dé le zú gòu de hǎo chù ， shèn zhì shuō ， zhàn le tiān dà de pián yi yě bù wèi guò 。
但不管如何，剑灵化虚自己是学会了，从这个角度，从百花仙子哪里，自己是获得了足够的好处，甚至说，占了天大的便宜也不为过。
Regardless, he had learned how to practice Sword Spirit Sublimation from this angle. From Fairy Hundred Flowers’ side, he gained enough benefits and even more. In fact, it was like he had reaped the greatest advantage possible.
bì jìng piāo miǎo jiǔ xiān dān zài zhēn guì ， dàn yǔ jiàn líng huà xū de xiū liàn zhī fǎ xiàng bǐ ， què yòu xiǎn de yòu bù zhí yī tí 。
毕竟飘渺九仙丹再珍贵，但与剑灵化虚的修炼之法相比，却又显得又不值一提。
After all, although the Illusory Nine Immortals Pill was precious, compared to the technique of practicing Sword Spirit Sublimation, it seemed insignificant.
zì jǐ de fù chū ， yǐ jīng huò dé le huí bào 。
自己的付出，已经获得了回报。
His efforts had already been rewarded.
ér zhǐ bāo bú zhù huǒ ， zhè jiàn shì qíng ， bǎi huā xiān zi chí zǎo dū huì xiǎo de 。
而纸包不住火，这件事情，百花仙子迟早都会晓得。
And as they say, the truth will out. Fairy Hundred Flowers would eventually find out about this matter and might get angry and lash out in fury.
nán bǎo tā bú huì hěn shēng qì ， fā huǒ 。
难保她不会很生气，发火。
However, even if she were furious, she wouldn’t break her word to cause trouble for him.
bù guò jiù suàn fèn nù ， yīng gāi yě bú huì shí yán ér féi ， lái zhǎo zì jǐ má fán de 。
不过就算愤怒，应该也不会食言而肥，来找自己麻烦的。
After all, Sword Spirit Sublimation was something she had willingly imparted to him. With Fairy Hundred Flowers’ proud personality, she would have no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
bì jìng jiàn líng huà xū ， shì cǐ nǚ zì yuàn ， chuán shòu yú zì jǐ ， yǐ bǎi huā xiān zi gāo ào de xìng gé ， zhè ge yǎ ba kuī ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě zhǐ yǒu chī dìng le 。
毕竟剑灵化虚，是此女自愿，传授于自己，以百花仙子高傲的性格，这个哑巴亏，无论如何，也只有吃定了。
But unexpectedly, she entrusted a friend to look after him. Lin Xuan felt moved yet understood that it was because Fairy Hundred Flowers hadn’t fully grasped the situation.
dàn méi yǒu xiǎng dào ， cǐ nǚ jū rán tuō hǎo yǒu ， duì zì jǐ jìn xíng zhào fú ， lín xuān zài gǎn dòng de tóng shí ， yě míng bái ， zhè shì yīn wèi ， bǎi huā xiān zi hái méi yǒu jiāng zhuàng kuàng nòng qīng chǔ 。
但没有想到，此女居然托好友，对自己进行照拂，林轩在感动的同时，也明白，这是因为，百花仙子还没有将状况弄清楚。
Otherwise, why would she still give him benefits and not seek revenge? Wasn’t Fairy Hundred Flowers acting like someone with a problem?
fǒu zé bù zhǎo zì jǐ suàn zhàng jiù hǎo le ， hái zài gěi hǎo chù ， nǐ dāng bǎi huā xiān zi nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí me ？
否则不找自己算账就好了，还再给好处，你当百花仙子脑袋有问题么？
Obtaining the technique of Sword Spirit Sublimation had already made her extremely displeased. But since he initiated this, he had to swallow his pride.
piàn qǔ jiàn líng huà xū gōng fǎ ， yǐ ràng bǎi huā xiān zi bù shuǎng yǐ jí 。
骗取剑灵化虚功法，已让百花仙子不爽以极。
If he continued to accept more favors from Senior Immortal Broad Cold after that, it would be too much for Fairy Hundred Flowers to bear. It was a case of going too far!
dàn bì jìng shì zì jǐ ná de zhǔ yì ， wéi yǒu yàn xià zhè méi kǔ guǒ 。
但毕竟是自己拿的主意，唯有咽下这枚苦果。
He would have to personally come and settle the score with him.
kě rú guǒ zì jǐ hái bù shí hǎo dǎi ， zài qù jiē shòu guǎng hán zhēn rén jǐ yǔ de hǎo chù yǔ zhào fú 。 nà duì bǎi huā xiān zi lái shuō 。 jiù yǒu xiē shì kě rěn ， shú bù kě rěn le 。
可如果自己还不识好歹，再去接受广寒真人给予的好处与照拂。那对百花仙子来说。就有些是可忍，孰不可忍了。
Given Lin Xuan’s character, he wouldn’t miss this opportunity to provoke her anger. Therefore, he naturally refused any favors or treasures.
qī rén tài shèn ！
欺人太甚！
Other old monsters, who didn’t know the full story, were dumbfounded.
dào shí hòu fēi qīn zì shàng mén ， zhǎo zì jǐ suàn zhàng bù kě 。
到时候非亲自上门，找自己算账不可。
Even Senior Immortal Broad Cold was puzzled by his peculiar personality as Fairy Hundred Flowers had described. The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox saw a hint of amusement on her lips; although she hadn’t interacted much with Lin Xuan, she knew him better than Fairy Hundred Flowers or Senior Immortal Broad Cold did.
yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé 。 zhè zhōng jiān de fēn cùn yòu qǐ huì ná niē bù qīng chǔ ， suǒ wèi jiàn hǎo jiù shōu ， tā kě shì bù xiǎng jiāng bǎi huā xiān zi jī nù 。 suǒ yǐ zì rán jué bú huì jiē shòu shén me zhào fú yǔ bǎo wù 。
以林轩的性格。这中间的分寸又岂会拿捏不清楚，所谓见好就收，他可是不想将百花仙子激怒。所以自然绝不会接受什么照拂与宝物。
Lin Xuan looked honest and straightforward, but he was actually incredibly cunning, skilled at playing the fool to catch others off guard. His character reminded her a lot of her own fox clan.
qí tā lǎo guài wù bù zhī yuán wěi ， yí gè gè zì rán shì chēng mù yǐ duì 。
其他老怪物不知原委，一个个自然是瞠目以对。
If Lin Xuan were truly that honest and simple, his apprentice Xianger would never have liked him.
biàn shì guǎng hán zhēn rén yě dà huò bù jiě ， tīng bǎi huā shuō zhè xiǎo zi de xìng gé yǒu xiē guài yì ， jīn rì yī jiàn ， guǒ rán rú cǐ 。
便是广寒真人也大惑不解，听百花说这小子的性格有些怪异，今日一见，果然如此。
Although Fairy Hundred Flowers didn’t fully understand the situation, she had heard enough to guess that he might indeed possess Extraordinary Heaven Metal for Sword Spirit Sublimation.表面上吃亏，其实却占了天大的便宜。
dǎo shì jiǔ wěi tiān hú zuǐ jiǎo biān shǎn guò yī mǒ xī xiào zhī sè ， tā yǔ lín xuān suī rán jiē chù bù duō ， dàn míng xiǎn bǐ bǎi huā xiān zi yǔ guǎng hán zhēn rén gèng shú zhī zhè xiǎo zi de xìng gé 。
倒是九尾天狐嘴角边闪过一抹嬉笑之色，她与林轩虽然接触不多，但明显比百花仙子与广寒真人更熟知这小子的性格。
Fairy Hundred Flowers and Senior Immortal Broad Cold were still unaware of this.
lín xuān kàn zhe lǎo shí ， kàn jué bú shì nà zhǒng hěn gěng zhí de rén wù ， qià qià xiāng fǎn 。 zhè xiǎo jiā huo kě yǐ shuō shì jī biàn bǎi chū ， zuì shàn cháng bàn zhū chī hǔ ， shuō qǐ lái 。 xìng gé dào hěn xiàng zì jǐ de tiān hú yī zú 。
林轩看着老实，看绝不是那种很耿直的人物，恰恰相反。这小家伙可以说是机变百出，最擅长扮猪吃虎，说起来。性格倒很像自己的天狐一族。
Foxes are naturally cunning animals, and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was rumored to have a heart as sharp as seven orifices. She was incredibly intelligent.
lín xuān ruò zhēn shì nà me lǎo shí hān hòu 。 nà mèn dōu mèn sǐ le ， zì jǐ de bǎo bèi tú dì xiāng ér 。 yòu zěn me huì xǐ huān tā ne ？
林轩若真是那么老实憨厚。那闷都闷死了，自己的宝贝徒弟香儿。又怎么会喜欢他呢？
Even though the Queen of Qingqiu only had a general idea of what happened, she guessed everything clearly. Lin Xuan didn’t know her mental acuity; otherwise, he would surely be awed by it.
bǎi huā xiān zi de shì qíng ， tā liǎo jiě dé suī rán bú shì hěn qīng chǔ ， dàn huò duō huò shǎo ， yě yǐ jīng tīng shuō ， yào jiàn líng huà xū ， nà xiǎo zi shuō bù dìng shǒu lǐ hái zhēn yǒu yù wài tiān jīn zhè zhǒng dōng xī 。
百花仙子的事情，她了解得虽然不是很清楚，但或多或少，也已经听说，要剑灵化虚，那小子说不定手里还真有域外天金这种东西。
However, knowing this, she kept silent. She and Fairy Hundred Flowers were just acquaintances with some unresolved issues between them. Although not to the point of life or death, they looked at each other with mutual dislike.
biǎo miàn shàng chī kuī ， qí shí què zhàn le tiān dà de pián yi 。
表面上吃亏，其实却占了天大的便宜。
Seeing Fairy Hundred Flowers suffer such a big loss made the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox immensely pleased. Naturally, she wouldn’t reveal this.
zhǐ bù guò bǎi huā yǔ guǎng hán zi ， hái měng dǒng bù zhī ér yǐ 。
只不过百花与广寒子，还懵懂不知而已。
The matter was now concluded.
hú lí ， yuán běn jiù shì hěn jiǎo huá de dòng wù ， jiǔ wěi tiān hú ， chuán shuō ， nà gèng shì yōng yǒu qī qiào líng lóng xīn de ， nà gèng shì cōng míng dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
狐狸，原本就是很狡猾的动物，九尾天狐，传说，那更是拥有七窍玲珑心的，那更是聪明到无以复加的地步。
No matter how surprised those old monsters were by Lin Xuan’s identity and strength, it wasn’t appropriate to probe further in such circumstances.
qīng qiū guó zhǔ jǐn guǎn zhǐ zhī dào shì qíng de yí gè dà gài ， rán ér què yǐ jīng cāi le gè qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， zhè fèn xīn zhì ， lín xuān shì bù xiǎo de ， fǒu zé ， yě bì dìng pèi fú dé wǔ tǐ tóu dì de 。
青丘国主尽管只知道事情的一个大概，然而却已经猜了个清清楚楚，这份心智，林轩是不晓得，否则，也必定佩服得五体投地的。
They could only pretend not to know.
rán ér zhī dào guī zhī dào ， tā què wú yì diǎn pò ， tā yǔ bǎi huā xiān zi ， bù guò fàn fàn zhī jiāo ér yǐ ， bǐ cǐ zhī jiān ， shèn zhì hái yǒu yī xiē ēn yuàn jiū gé ， suī rán yuǎn bú dào nǐ sǐ wǒ huó ， dàn bǐ cǐ kàn zhe ， nà yě shì hù xiāng bù shùn yǎn de 。
然而知道归知道，她却无意点破，她与百花仙子，不过泛泛之交而已，彼此之间，甚至还有一些恩怨纠葛，虽然远不到你死我活，但彼此看着，那也是互相不顺眼的。
After another round of formalities, they returned along the same path under Senior Immortal Naelong's guidance.
néng kàn bǎi huā xiān zi chī zhè me yí gè dà kuī ， jiǔ wěi tiān hú tiān nà shì pāi shǒu chēng kuài ， zì rán wú lùn rú hé ， yě bú huì diǎn pò 。
能看百花仙子吃这么一个大亏，九尾天狐天那是拍手称快，自然无论如何，也不会点破。
Soon, everyone resumed their seats, and the wedding continued. The newlyweds exchanged vows before heaven and earth, creating a lively atmosphere.
ér shì qíng dào zhè lǐ ， yě jiù suàn gào yí duàn luò 。
而事情到这里，也就算告一段落。
The bride was not sent to her bridal chamber; although it mimicked a secular wedding, the couple were both cultivators. The ceremony was meant for show, but some formalities could be skipped.
bù guǎn nà xiē lǎo guài wù duì lín xuān de shēn fèn shí lì zài jīng qí ， zhè zhǒng chǎng hé ， yě bù hǎo tàn jiū xià qù 。
不管那些老怪物对林轩的身份实力再惊奇，这种场合，也不好探究下去。
With the marriage rites completed, Fairy Nianqian and Senior Immortal Naelong became legitimate partners in cultivation. They hosted guests together, with melodious music filling their ears as performers showcased acrobatics and dances on the stage.
biǎo miàn shàng ， zhǐ néng gù zuò bù zhī ér yǐ 。
表面上，只能故作不知而已。
In the square, a grand feast was laid out for the guests to enjoy. The rich aroma of food permeated the air.
suí hòu ， yòu yī fān jiàn lǐ ， rán hòu yóu nài lóng zhēn rén dài zhe ， xiàng yuán lù fēi le huí qù 。
随后，又一番见礼，然后由鼐龙真人带着，像原路飞了回去。
Servants moved about, each carrying elegant trays filled with various fine wines and fruits, as well as delicacies prepared by skilled chefs.
hěn kuài ， dà jiā chóng xīn rù xí ， hūn lǐ zì rán yě jiù jì xù 。
很快，大家重新入席，婚礼自然也就继续。
Although cultivators could practice cultivation without eating or drinking, they still enjoyed these foods. Spirit wine and fruits were beneficial for physical health and longevity; even cultivators found them nourishing to their divine consciousness and magical power.
xīn rén jiāo bài tiān dì ， zì rán shì hǎo yī fān de rè nào yǐ jí 。
新人交拜天地，自然是好一番的热闹以极。
However, the guests present were mostly old monsters at the realm of Tribulation Transcendence, so the benefits from the spirit wine and fruits were minimal.
suí hòu xīn niáng zǐ què méi yǒu bèi sòng dào dòng fáng lǐ ， suī rán shì mó fǎng shì sú de hūn lǐ ， dàn chéng qīn de bì jìng shì liǎng wèi xiū xiān zhě ， zhè yí shì me ， tú gè rè nào méi cuò ， dàn yī xiē fán wén rù jié ， yě bù bì nòng dé yǔ shì sú yī yàng le 。
随后新娘子却没有被送到洞房里，虽然是模仿世俗的婚礼，但成亲的毕竟是两位修仙者，这仪式么，图个热闹没错，但一些繁文缛节，也不必弄得与世俗一样了。
Nevertheless, the taste was excellent. The guests cared more about other aspects.
lǐ chéng ， qiān qiān xiān zi yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén yǐ shì míng zhèng yán shùn de shuāng xiū dào lǚ ， yú shì fū qī liǎng rén yì qǐ zhāo dài bīn kè ， yōu yáng de yuè qǔ chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qián fāng de kàn tái shàng biǎo yǎn zhe jīng cǎi de zá shuǎ yǔ gē wǔ 。
礼成，芊芊仙子与鼐龙真人已是名正言顺的双修道侣，于是夫妻两人一起招待宾客，悠扬的乐曲传入耳朵，前方的看台上表演着精彩的杂耍与歌舞。
Since the spirit wine and fruits benefited even those at the Tribulation Transcendence realm, Senior Immortal Naelong wouldn’t have brought out such treasures to entertain his guests.
guǎng chǎng shàng ， dà kāi yàn xí ， bīn kè men yī cì rù zuò ， shí wù nóng nóng de xiāng wèi ér mí sàn ér chū 。
广场上，大开宴席，宾客们依次入座，食物浓浓的香味儿弥散而出。
He would keep them for himself.
yī duì duì shì nǚ chuān suō qí jiān ， yù shǒu shàng dōu pěng zhe jīng měi de tuō pán ， shàng miàn shèng fàng zhe gè zhǒng gè yàng de měi jiǔ yǔ guā guǒ ， hái yǒu jīng xīn pìn rèn de shí wù 。
一队队侍女穿梭其间，玉手上都捧着精美的托盘，上面盛放着各种各样的美酒与瓜果，还有精心聘任的食物。
Besides fruits and fine wines, there were also exquisite delicacies. The variety of dishes was so extensive that Lin Xuan, with his broad knowledge, had heard about only a fraction of them.
xiū xiān zhě suī kě bì gǔ ， dàn ruò xiǎng yào yǐn jiǔ chī dōng xī ， nà zì rán yě shì wú ài de 。
修仙者虽可辟谷，但若想要饮酒吃东西，那自然也是无碍的。
Surprised, he inquired and learned that Senior Immortal Naelong not only enjoyed beauty but also loved gourmet food and wine, never practicing cultivation without eating or drinking daily.
zhè xiē kě bú shì fán sú de shí wù 。
这些可不是凡俗的食物。
No wonder Penglai Immortal Island was so well-prepared. Lin Xuan, impressed, didn’t hesitate to drink and eat heartily with his fellow cultivators at the table. The old monsters of the Tribulation Transcendence realm had looked down on him as a mere Spirit Focus Realm cultivator, but after what he witnessed, who would dare look down on him?
líng jiǔ guā guǒ bú yòng shuō ， ruò shì shì sú de fán rén chī le ， kě yǐ qiáng shēn jiàn tǐ ， yán nián yì shòu ， huó gè yì bǎi duō suì jué duì méi wèn tí ， biàn shì xiū xiān zhě chī le ， duì yú shēn tǐ ， yě yǒu shǎo xǔ zī yǎng de xiào guǒ ， duì shén shí ， duì fǎ lì ， dōu yǒu hǎo chù 。
灵酒瓜果不用说，若是世俗的凡人吃了，可以强身健体，延年益寿，活个一百多岁绝对没问题，便是修仙者吃了，对于身体，也有少许滋养的效果，对神识，对法力，都有好处。
Lin Xuan was not one to be modest.
zhǐ bù guò zài chǎng de bīn kè ， xiū wèi tài lí pǔ ， jī hū dōu shì dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， rú cǐ yī lái ， zhè xiē líng jiǔ guā guǒ duì tā men de hǎo chù ， yě jiù wēi hū qí wēi le 。
只不过在场的宾客，修为太离谱，几乎都是渡劫级别的老怪物，如此一来，这些灵酒瓜果对他们的好处，也就微乎其微了。
Although he preferred to stay low-key, today’s unexpected high profile meant there was no point in being低调 anymore.
Because she believed that Lin Xuan could not obtain the Extraordinary Heaven Metal, naturally he couldn’t practice Sword Spirit Sublimation. She then made Lin Xuan swear to her with his divine soul, vowing never to reveal this secret technique to anyone else.
Only after Lin Xuan agreed did she gift him the cultivation method.
Although Fairy Hundred Flowers’ assessment was correct, she had no idea that Lin Xuan had coincidentally obtained Extraordinary Heaven Metal and integrated it into his personal treasure. This satisfied the requirements for practicing Sword Spirit Sublimation.
She underestimated Lin Xuan; he had outsmarted her.
Well, one couldn’t say he tricked her, but rather that Lin Xuan played a small trick on her.
