bǎo shé qīng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shēng yīn yǔ qì ， jiē shì shí fēn kěn dìng dì ， sú huà shuō ， guò yóu bù jí ， zhè dān yào yě shì yī yàng de dào lǐ ， jiǔ zhuǎn líng shé dān nán dé ， xiàng zhè zhǒng pǐn zhì shàng jiā zhī wù ， gèng shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú 。
宝蛇轻笑的声音传入耳朵，声音语气，皆是十分肯定地，俗话说，过犹不及，这丹药也是一样的道理，九转灵蛇丹难得，像这种品质上佳之物，更是可遇而不可求。
The snake's amused voice echoed in Lin Xuan’s ears. The tone and words were undoubtedly certain. As the saying went, excess is as bad as deficiency, and this pill was no exception. A nine-turn spirit-snake pill was rare, but such high-quality items were even harder to come by.
rán ér qí yào xiào gù rán lìng rén xiàn mù ， què yuǎn fēi qū qū yī fēn shén qī xiū shì kě yǐ xiǎng yòng de ， sú huà shuō xū bù shòu bǔ 。
然而其药效固然令人羡慕，却远非区区一分神期修士可以享用的，俗话说虚不受补。
However, while its effects were enviable, they were far beyond what a mere Spirit-Period cultivator could enjoy. As the saying went, one should not overcompensate for deficiencies.
bǐ rú ， yī tǐ ruò zhī rén kě yòng wēn hé de bǔ yào màn màn tiáo lǐ ， què bù kě yī xià zi fú yòng qiān nián rén shēn zhī liú de dà bǔ zhī wù ， fǒu zé ， bì shì dé qí fǎn ， lín xuān fú yòng zì jǐ zèng yǔ tā de zhè méi jiǔ zhuǎn líng shé dān ， bié shuō chéng gōng jìn jí ， nà qiáng dà de yào lì zú yǐ ràng qí zǒu huǒ rù mó dì 。
比如，一体弱之人可用温和的补药慢慢调理，却不可一下子服用千年人参之流的大补之物，否则，必适得其反，林轩服用自己赠予他的这枚九转灵蛇丹，别说成功晋级，那强大的药力足以让其走火入魔地。
For instance, a weak person might benefit from gentle tonics slowly, but it would be disastrous to consume powerful tonics like those of a thousand-year-old ginseng all at once. The potent effects of this nine-turn spirit-snake pill Lin Xuan had given him could easily send him into madness.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”
“原来如此。”
"Ah, I see."
liǎo jiě liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò ， bīng pò yě bù yóu de sōng le kǒu qì ， bù dé bù shuō ， bǎo shé hái zhēn shì hǎo suàn jì 。
了解了事情的始末，冰魄也不由得松了口气，不得不说，宝蛇还真是好算计。
With the full story understood, Ice Spirit’s expression relaxed. It was clear that the snake was indeed a cunning strategist. Lin Xuan was well-traveled; anyone using fake nine-turn spirit-snake pills would surely be detected. Who would have thought that such a high-quality spirit object harbored ill intentions?
lín xuān jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yòng jiǎ de jiǔ zhuǎn líng shé dān bì bèi shí pò ， dàn shuí yòu néng gòu xiǎng dào míng míng shì yī pǐn zhì bù fán de líng wù ， qí shí què bāo cáng huò xīn ne ？
林轩见识广博，用假的九转灵蛇丹必被识破，但谁又能够想到明明是一品质不凡的灵物，其实却包藏祸心呢？
This strategy of hiding in plain sight was truly ingenious. Ice Spirit’s admiration gradually dispelled his gloom as the two of them teleported into the desolate valley.
zhè zhāo mán tiān guò hǎi zhī cè ， wěi shí gāo míng yǐ jí ， bīng pò zàn shǎng zhī yú ， liǎn shàng de yīn mái yě jiàn jiàn sàn qù ， suí hòu liǎng rén shēn xíng yī shǎn ， luò xiàng nà huāng wú de shān gǔ lǐ miàn 。
这招瞒天过海之策，委实高明以极，冰魄赞赏之余，脸上的阴霾也渐渐散去，随后两人身形一闪，落像那荒芜的山谷里面。
With this matter settled, they planned to break through the void and return to the Ancient Demon Realm.
cǐ shì yǐ le ， liǎng rén zhǔn bèi pò suì xū kōng ， huí dào gǔ mó jiè lǐ 。
此事已了，两人准备破碎虚空，回到古魔界里。

……
……
The True Monarch Ancestors were not mentioned for now.
liǎng wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zàn qiě bù tí 。
两位真魔始祖暂且不提。
At present, on Penglai Immortal Island, it was bustling with activity. The wedding banquet had concluded; Dailong True Monarch and Qianqian Immortal Lady were now a legitimate couple in cultivation circles.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， péng lái xiān dǎo ， yī jiù shì rè nào yǐ jí 。
此时此刻，蓬莱仙岛，依旧是热闹以极。
However, the guests did not disperse immediately. This joint-cultivation ceremony between Dailong and Qianqian was an unprecedented event in the cultivation world after millions of years. Normally, old monsters at the Tribulation-Transcending stage were elusive figures; how could there be a gathering of over a hundred people? Even lesser immortals and demon kings had come.
bié wù huì ， hūn yàn yǐ jīng jié shù ， nài lóng zhēn rén yǔ qiān qiān xiān zi ， yǐ shì míng zhèng yán shùn de shuāng xiū dào lǚ 。
别误会，婚宴已经结束，鼐龙真人与芊芊仙子，已是名正言顺的双修道侣。
The purpose was to congratulate Dailong True Monarch on his joyous occasion, but for the guests, it also presented an excellent opportunity. Therefore, no one wanted to miss out.
rán ér hè kè men bìng méi yǒu mǎ shàng sàn qù 。
然而贺客们并没有马上散去。
During the wedding banquet, someone proposed that after the ceremony, they could hold a small exchange session here.
zhè cì nài lóng yǔ qiān qiān jǔ xíng shuāng xiū diǎn lǐ ， nǎi shì xiū xiān jiè bǎi wàn nián nán dé yī jiàn de shèng jǔ 。
这次鼐龙与芊芊举行双修典礼，乃是修仙界百万年难得一见的盛举。
This suggestion received enthusiastic responses. The rare treasures needed at the Tribulation-Transcending stage were too precious and could only be obtained from peers. Who wouldn’t want to trade for useful items?
píng shí ， dù jié qī lǎo guài jiē shì shén lóng jiàn shǒu bù jiàn wěi de rén wù ， zěn me kě néng yǒu bǎi rén qí jù ， shèn zhì lián sàn xiān yāo wáng dōu lái dào le zhè lǐ 。
平时，渡劫期老怪皆是神龙见首不见尾的人物，怎么可能有百人齐聚，甚至连散仙妖王都来到了这里。
Later, with the arrival of the True Monarch Ancestors, Ice Spirit, and Lin Xuan’s remarkable performance, the exchange session began. Despite the initial commotion, it continued after Ice Spirit left.
mù dì shì lái gōng hè nài lóng zhēn rén dà xǐ ， dàn cǐ shèng huì duì hè kè men lái shuō ， yě shì yī jué jiā de jī yuán ， yīn cǐ ， shuí yě bù yuàn yì cuò guò dì 。
目的是来恭贺鼐龙真人大喜，但此盛会对贺客们来说，也是一绝佳的机缘，因此，谁也不愿意错过地。
When the joint-cultivation ceremony ended, someone brought up the idea again. The guests were still very interested. After obtaining Dailong True Monarch's consent, they used his immortal mountain as a venue for this eagerly anticipated event.
zài hūn yàn de shí hòu ， jiù yǒu rén tí yì 。 děng diǎn lǐ jié shù ， dà jiā jiù zài zhè lǐ ， jǔ xíng yī xiǎo xíng de jiāo huàn huì rú hé 。
在婚宴的时候，就有人提议。等典礼结束，大家就在这里，举行一小型的交换会如何。
The exchange session was small-scale but attracted many Tribulation-Transcending cultivators. The treasures displayed were dazzling and invaluable; any of them could cause a storm in the Three Realms if they were to be lost.
yī hū bǎi yìng ， bì jìng dù jié jí bié xū yào de bǎo wù ， tài zhēn xī ， yě wéi yǒu cóng tóng jiē cún zài de shǒu lǐ ， cái yǒu kě néng huàn qǔ 。
一呼百应，毕竟渡劫级别需要的宝物，太珍稀，也唯有从同阶存在的手里，才有可能换取。
Even with Lin Xuan’s deep-seated thoughts, his eyes sparkled with anticipation. His standards were exceptionally high, but here, he was sure to find something useful.
shuí bù xiǎng yǐ wù yì wù ， shōu huò yī xiē duì zì jǐ yǒu yòng de bǎo bèi ne ？
谁不想以物易物，收获一些对自己有用的宝贝呢？
With these thoughts, the exchange session began. The old monsters present had lived for countless years and participated in numerous exchanges, so no one needed to host or organize it. After some polite exchanges, someone stepped forward.
hòu lái liǎng wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ 。 bǎo shé bīng pò jià lín cǐ chù ， zhōng jiān yòu qǐ le xiē xǔ bō zhé ， lín xuān gèng shì yì míng jīng rén ， zài cì xī yǐn le dà jiā de guān zhù 。
后来两位真魔始祖。宝蛇冰魄驾临此处，中间又起了些许波折，林轩更是一鸣惊人，再次吸引了大家的关注。
He was an elderly man in a brocade robe, unremarkable in appearance but radiating a calm aura. Without doubt, he practiced Daoist cultivation methods.
zhōng jiān de guò chéng zàn qiě bù tí ， bǎo shé bīng pò hǎo dǎi shì lí kāi le zhè lǐ ， yú shì hūn yàn jì xù ， děng shuāng xiū diǎn lǐ jié shù hòu ， jiāo huàn huì de shì qíng ， yòu yǒu rén tí qǐ 。
中间的过程暂且不提，宝蛇冰魄好歹是离开了这里，于是婚宴继续，等双修典礼结束后，交换会的事情，又有人提起。
"Older gentleman, I won’t mention my name. I believe everyone here recognizes me. If you don’t mind, let’s start with this exchange."
dà jiā yī jiù shì fēi cháng yǒu xìng qù 。 yú shì zài zhēng de nài lóng zhēn rén tóng yì yǐ hòu ， biàn jiè tā zhè xiān shān bǎo dì ， kāi shǐ le wàn zhòng qī dài de shèng jǔ 。
大家依旧是非常有兴趣。于是在争得鼐龙真人同意以后，便借他这仙山宝地，开始了万众期待的盛举。
"Haha, True Monarch Heaven's Pole, no need for such courtesy. Your eagerness to exchange suggests that the treasures are of great significance, and it will be a good opportunity for us to broaden our horizons."
jiāo huàn huì guī mó bù dà 。 dàn cān jiā de rén jī hū dōu shì dù jié qī ， ná chū lái de bǎo bèi lín láng mǎn mù ， zhēn guì gèng bù yòng tí ， xiǎng bì suí biàn liú luò yī yàng chū qù ， yě néng zài sān jiè zhī zhōng yǐn qǐ xīng fēng xuè yǔ 。
交换会规模不大。但参加的人几乎都是渡劫期，拿出来的宝贝琳琅满目，珍贵更不用提，想必随便流落一样出去，也能在三界之中引起腥风血雨。
"Indeed, whether we exchange now or later is the same. The key lies in finding something suitable. If you’re willing to go first, we have no objections."
jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yǎn zhōng yě lù chū qī dài zhī sè ， tā de yǎn guāng gāo dé lí pǔ ， dàn zài zhè lǐ ， xiǎng bì yě néng zhǎo dào zì jǐ hé yòng zhī wù 。
即便以林轩的城府，眼中也露出期待之色，他的眼光高得离谱，但在这里，想必也能找到自己合用之物。
...
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe 。 jiāo huàn huì yǐ jīng kāi shǐ le 。
心中如此想着。交换会已经开始了。
This elderly man was an intermediate-stage Tribulation-Transcender, so the guests were quite respectful. However, when Lin Xuan heard his name, he was taken aback.
zài zuò de lǎo guài wù ， nà dōu shì huó le bù zhī dào duō shǎo nián de xiū xiān zhě ， jiāo huàn huì cān jiā liǎo wú shù ， zì rán yě jiù bù xū yào yǒu rén qù zhǔ chí shén me ， lüè zuò yī fān tuī ràng zhī hòu 。 jiù yǒu rén zǒu dào qián miàn qù le 。
在座的老怪物，那都是活了不知道多少年的修仙者，交换会参加了无数，自然也就不需要有人去主持什么，略作一番推让之后。就有人走到前面去了。
This was True Monarch Heaven's Pole, the Great Elder of Zhen Ji Gate; his senior, Xuan Shu Senior, was his younger brother?
zhè shì yī jǐn páo lǎo zhě ， róng mào bìng bù chū zhòng ， dàn hún shēn suǒ sàn fà chū lái de qì xī què chōng dàn píng hé ， rú guǒ méi yǒu kàn cuò ， tā suǒ xiū liàn de 。 yīng gāi shì dào jiā gōng fǎ le 。
这是一锦袍老者，容貌并不出众，但浑身所散发出来的气息却冲淡平和，如果没有看错，他所修炼的。应该是道家功法了。
Although Lin Xuan had never met this great being, due to the connection with Heavenly Essence Marquis and Wenyuan City, they were intricately linked.
“ lǎo fū de míng hào jiù bù duō shuō ， xiāng xìn zài chǎng de dào yǒu dōu rèn shí ， rú guǒ dà jiā bù jiè yì ， jīn tiān de jiāo huàn ， jiù yóu lǎo fū kāi shǐ 。”
“老夫的名号就不多说，相信在场的道友都认识，如果大家不介意，今天的交换，就由老夫开始。”
Seeing him in person, he moved steadily and exuded profound power. His reputation was indeed well-deserved.
“ hē hē ， tiān jí zhēn rén kè qì le ， dào yǒu rú cǐ jí zhe jiāo huàn ， xiǎng bì ná chū lái de bǎo wù yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhèng hǎo ràng wǒ děng zhǎng yī zhǎng jiàn shí le 。”
“呵呵，天极真人客气了，道友如此急着交换，想必拿出来的宝物也是非同小可，正好让我等长一长见识了。”
Noticing Lin Xuan’s gaze, True Monarch Heaven's Pole glanced back but quickly looked away. Although Lin Xuan had performed exceptionally well earlier, the great being did not know about their connection within the sect, so he wasn’t overly concerned.
“ bù cuò ， xiān jiāo huàn hòu jiāo huàn ， yě shì yī yàng de dào lǐ ， guān jiàn zài yú ， yǒu méi yǒu hé yòng de bǎo wù ， dào yǒu yuàn yì dì yí gè shàng qù ， wǒ děng zì rán yě shì méi yǒu yì jiàn dì 。”
“不错，先交换后交换，也是一样的道理，关键在于，有没有合用的宝物，道友愿意第一个上去，我等自然也是没有意见地。”
Although Lin Xuan had triumphed over True Monarch Heavenly Essence, it was a lucky win. He might not have taken this young man seriously as an intermediate-stage cultivator.
……
……
Despite his good relations with lesser immortals and demon kings like Dailong True Monarch, there was no need to take him too seriously since they were not enemies. With these thoughts in mind, he waved his sleeves, releasing a shocking chill.
zhè jǐn páo lǎo zhě ， shì yī dù jié zhōng qī de cún zài ， gù ér xià miàn de hè kè ， yě dāng fǒu hěn gěi miàn zi ， rán ér lín xuān zài tīng qīng chǔ tā de míng hào hòu ， què dà jīng shī sè 。
这锦袍老者，是一渡劫中期的存在，故而下面的贺客，也当否很给面子，然而林轩在听清楚他的名号后，却大惊失色。
The white mist shimmered, seemingly containing something within. Due to the mist blocking his divine sense, Lin Xuan couldn’t see clearly but didn’t use Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes; that would be too conspicuous. Soon enough, the other party would reveal their secret.
zhè wèi jiù shì tiān jí zhēn rén ， zhēn jí mén dà zhǎng lǎo ， nà wèi xuán shū shàng rén shì tā shī dì ？
这位就是天极真人，真极门大长老，那位璇书上人是他师弟？
Sure enough, as predicted, after a few moments, he raised his right hand and gently closed his fingers while muttering, "There."
lín xuān yǔ zhè wèi dà néng suī wèi jiàn guò ， dàn yīn wèi tiān yuán hóu yù wén tiān chéng de yuán gù ， què yǔ tā yǒu pǒ duō qiān chě 。
林轩与这位大能虽未见过，但因为天元侯与闻天城的缘故，却与他有颇多牵扯。
As his actions unfolded, the white mist dispersed, revealing the true nature of the treasure: an exquisite jade box. It was smooth like jade, measuring over two feet in length. The surface boreprohibitive talisman, with strange symbols constantly appearing and vanishing, indicating its extraordinary quality.
rú jīn dé jiàn zhēn róng ， zhǐ jiàn tā bù lǚ chén wěn ， fǎ lì jīng shēn ， guǒ rán shì shèng míng wú xū 。
如今得见真容，只见他步履沉稳，法力精深，果然是盛名无虚。
"Ten-thousand-year-old cold jade."
gǎn shòu dào lín xuān de zhù shì ， tiān jí zhēn rén yě huí tóu wàng guò lái yī yǎn ， dàn hěn kuài jiù jiāng shì xiàn nuó kāi ， lín xuān gāng gāng suī rán dà fàng yì cǎi ， dàn tā bìng bù xiǎo de ， zhè xiǎo zi yǔ běn mén hái yǒu yī fān qiān chě ， suǒ yǐ zì rán yě shì bú huì tài zài yì 。
感受到林轩的注视，天极真人也回头望过来一眼，但很快就将视线挪开，林轩刚刚虽然大放异彩，但他并不晓得，这小子与本门还有一番牵扯，所以自然也是不会太在意。
The old monsters present recognized it immediately.
lín xuān gāng gāng suī rán shèng le tiān yuán shèng zǔ ， dàn què jiǎo xìng yǐ jí ， shuō yùn qì hǎo ， nà shì yì diǎn bù chà ， zuò wèi zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， tā wèi bì jiù zhēn jiāng zhè xiǎo zi fàng zài yǎn zhōng 。
林轩刚刚虽然胜了天元圣祖，但却侥幸以极，说运气好，那是一点不差，做为中期的修仙者，他未必就真将这小子放在眼中。
Lin Xuan stared at the jade box, his breath catching. Ordinary ten-thousand-year-old black jade wasn’t impressive; Lin Xuan could use such materials for utensils.
suī rán zhè xiǎo zi yǔ sàn xiān yāo wáng ， nài lóng zhēn rén jiē guān xì bù sú ， bù guò nà yòu rú hé ， zì jǐ yǔ tā wú yuān wú chóu ， zì rán yě jiù méi yǒu bì yào tài fàng zài xīn zhōng ， nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo yī fú ， shà shí jiān ， yī gǔ jīng rén de hán qì fēi lüè ér chū 。
虽然这小子与散仙妖王，鼐龙真人皆关系不俗，不过那又如何，自己与他无冤无仇，自然也就没有必要太放在心中，脑海中念头转过，只见他袖袍一拂，霎时间，一股惊人的寒气飞掠而出。
However, this carved jade box was far from ordinary. Ten-thousand-year-old black jade came in grades, and this clearly contained no impurities, making it a top-grade material. Such materials were invaluable, almost at the pinnacle of ice attributes. Even Tribulation-Transcenders wouldn’t casually dismiss such items; what could be inside that jade box?
nà hán qì zuò rǔ bái sè ， bù tíng de fān yǒng biàn huà zhe ， lǐ miàn yǐn yǐn sì hū bāo guǒ zhe yī shén me shì wù 。
那寒气做乳白色，不停的翻涌变化着，里面隐隐似乎包裹着一什么事物。
Lin Xuan’s curiosity was piqued instantly.
The snake's amused voice echoed in Lin Xuan’s ears. The tone and words were undoubtedly certain. As the saying went, excess is as bad as deficiency, and this pill was no exception. A nine-turn spirit-snake pill was rare, but such high-quality items were even harder to come by.

"Ah, I see."
With the full story understood, Ice Spirit’s expression relaxed. It was clear that the snake was indeed a cunning strategist. Lin Xuan was well-traveled; anyone using fake nine-turn spirit-snake pills would surely be detected. Who would have thought that such a high-quality spirit object harbored ill intentions?
