bì jìng xiàng fén zhǒng líng mài zhī dì ， shī luò de jiè miàn ， nà shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， shuō suí chù kě jiàn yǒu xiē tài guò ， dàn què shí háo wú qǐ yǎn zhī chù ， xiū shì cóng zhè lǐ lù guò ， yǒu shì méi shì ， shuí yòu huì duō jiā liú yì ne ？
毕竟像坟种灵脉之地，失落的界面，那是数不胜数，说随处可见有些太过，但确实毫无起眼之处，修士从这里路过，有事没事，谁又会多加留意呢？
After all, there were countless places where ancient spirits had cultivated and lost realms that were hard to miss. But they certainly weren't everywhere. For ordinary cultivators passing by such places, who would pay attention?
lín xuān rú jīn de shēng huó ， nà shì píng jìng yǐ jí ， ér zhè ， yě zhèng shì tā suǒ xū yào dì 。
林轩如今的生活，那是平静以极，而这，也正是他所需要地。
Lin Xuan's life was now extremely tranquil, which suited him just fine.
huā fèi èr shí nián de shí jiān ， zhōng yú jiāng nà yī zhàn sǔn hào de zhēn yuán quán dōu mí bǔ ， yīn wèi lián xù fú yòng wàn nián líng rǔ ， miàn chǎn shēng de xiē xǔ yǐn huàn ， yě dōu yān xiāo yún sàn diào le 。
花费二十年的时间，终于将那一战损耗的真元全都弥补，因为连续服用万年灵乳，面产生的些许隐患，也都烟消云散掉了。
It took him twenty years to finally replenish his true essence after the battle losses. The minor hazards caused by consuming the immortal milk of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit had also dissipated.
lín xuān rú jīn ， bù lùn shì tǐ lì ， hái shì jīng qì shén ， quán dōu dá dào le diān fēng 。
林轩如今，不论是体力，还是精气神，全都达到了巅峰。
Now, Lin Xuan’s physical strength and mental energy were at their peak.
bù guò tā bìng méi yǒu zhǔn bèi pò guān ér chū ， èr shí nián shí jiān ， duì yú fán rén ， què shí bù duǎn ， dàn zài tā men zhè ge děng jí de xiū shì lái kàn ， què yě bù guò shì dàn zhǐ yī huī jiān 。
不过他并没有准备破关而出，二十年时间，对于凡人，确实不短，但在他们这个等级的修士来看，却也不过是弹指一挥间。
However, he wasn't planning on breaking through just yet. Twenty years might seem long for ordinary people, but in his realm, it was merely a blink of an eye.
tiān xiē shān yī yì ， nà lǎo guài wù chī de kǔ tóu fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhè chóu hèn ， bú shì qū qū shù shí zài ， jiù néng suí fēng xiāo sàn diào de 。
天蝎山一役，那老怪物吃的苦头非同小可，这仇恨，不是区区数十载，就能随风消散掉的。
The old monster from the Scorpion Mountain suffered greatly, and this grudge wouldn’t vanish in mere decades.
xiàn zài jiù chū qù ， wéi shí hái guò zǎo le yī xiē 。
现在就出去，为时还过早了一些。
Exiting now would be too early.
zhè dào lǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， nài xīn ， tā yě shì tóng yàng yǒu de 。
这道理，林轩心中有数，耐心，他也是同样有的。
Lin Xuan knew this well and had plenty of patience. Staying here was undoubtedly the best choice from any angle.
xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò ， jì xù liú zài zhè lǐ ， bù lùn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù ， dōu shì zuì wèi zhèng què de xuǎn zé 。
小心无大错，继续留在这里，不论从哪个角度，都是最为正确的选择。
Moreover, Lin Bai wasn't idle. The隐患 within his body were already resolved, but he still needed to refine some treasures.
hé kuàng ， lín bài bìng fēi wú shì kě zuò ， tǐ ☆ nèi de yǐn huàn ， shì yǐ jīng jiě chú ， dàn jiē xià lái ， tā hái xū yào liàn huà yī xiē bǎo wù 。
何况，林拜并非无事可做，体☆内的隐患，是已经解除，但接下来，他还需要炼化一些宝物。
For example, true dragon essence blood.
bǐ rú shuō ， zhēn lóng líng xuè 。
比如说，真龙灵血。
Even among true spirits, the true dragons and phoenixes were supreme existences. Their power was almost on par with true immortals.
zhēn lóng cǎi fèng ， jí shǐ zài zhēn líng zhī zhōng ， nà yě shì jué qiáng de cún zài ， shí lì zhī kě bù ， jī hū yǔ zhēn xiān yě xiāng chā wú jǐ le 。
真龙彩凤，即使在真灵之中，那也是绝强的存在，实力之可怖，几乎与真仙也相差无几了。
Nailong True Person was overjoyed. At the grand wedding banquet, high-ranking cultivators from all three realms gathered. Although the details of what happened during the ceremony weren't mentioned, a small exchange session followed.
nài lóng zhēn rén dà xǐ ， hūn yàn shàng sān jiè gāo rén qí jù ， qí zhōng de bō zhé zàn qiě bù tí ， zài diǎn lǐ jié shù hòu què shì jǔ xíng le yī xiǎo xíng jiāo huàn huì dì 。
鼐龙真人大喜，婚宴上三界高人齐聚，其中的波折暂且不提，在典礼结束后却是举行了一小型交换会地。
Although there weren’t many people present, apart from Lin Xuan, they were all top-tier existences at the peak of their cultivation stages.
rén suī rán bù duō ， dàn chú le lín xuān ， jī hū quán dōu shì dù jié jí bié de dǐng jí cún zài 。
人虽然不多，但除了林轩，几乎全都是渡劫级别的顶级存在。
Their wealth was beyond description, and rare treasures abounded. Even true dragon essence blood appeared among them.
zhè xiē rén de shēn jiā zì rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， qí zhēn yì bǎo nà shì nán yǐ yán shù ， shèn zhì lián zhēn lóng líng xuè ， zhè yàng jǔ shì hǎn jiàn de bǎo bèi dōu chū xiàn le 。
这些人的身家自然非同小可，奇珍异宝那是难以言述，甚至连真龙灵血，这样举世罕见的宝贝都出现了。
Note that this true dragon essence blood wasn't extracted from a descendant of the true dragons; although it had its value, it ultimately fell short compared to genuine dragon essence blood.
zhù yì ， zhè ér shuō de zhēn lóng líng xuè ， kě bú shì cóng zhēn lóng hòu yì shēn shàng tí chún chū lái de ， nà zhǒng líng xuè jià zhí suī rán yě shì bù cuò ， dàn guī gēn jié dǐ ， yě bù guò shì jù yǒu zhēn líng de xiē xǔ tè xìng yǔ xiào guǒ ， yǔ zhēn zhèng de líng xuè xiāng bǐ ， dào dǐ yào xùn sè xǔ duō 。
注意，这儿说的真龙灵血，可不是从真龙后裔身上提纯出来的，那种灵血价值虽然也是不错，但归根结底，也不过是具有真灵的些许特性与效果，与真正的灵血相比，到底要逊色许多。
But regardless, obtaining true dragon essence blood was no easy feat. It required immense courage and determination. Most cultivators at the peak of their cultivation stages wouldn’t dare entertain such thoughts.
rán ér huà suī rú cǐ méi cuò ， dàn zhēn lóng shì hé děng qiáng dà de cún zài ， tā de líng xuè yòu nǎ ér shì nà me róng yì qǔ dé 。
然而话虽如此没错，但真龙是何等强大的存在，它的灵血又哪儿是那么容易取得。
However, fate played a hand. The matter in the exchange session turned out to be the real true dragon essence blood.
jí biàn shì dù jié qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， yì bān lái shuō ， yě jué bù gǎn cún cǐ wàng niàn de 。
即便是渡劫期的大能修仙者，一般来说，也绝不敢存此妄念的。
Everyone’s eyes widened with interest, and many coveted it. Lin Xuan was naturally unwilling to let this opportunity slip away. True spirit blood held special significance for him.
dàn shì yǒu jī yuán qiǎo hé ， xiū xiān jiè de shì qíng ， yuán běn yě bú shì sān yán liǎng yǔ shuō dé qīng chǔ ， piān piān ， zài nà xiǎo xíng de jiāo huàn huì zhōng ， jiù chū xiàn zhēn zhèng de zhēn lóng líng xuè le 。
但事有机缘巧合，修仙界的事情，原本也不是三言两语说得清楚，偏偏，在那小型的交换会中，就出现真正的真龙灵血了。
True Spirit Blood Sword Art!
yī shí jiān rén rén cè mù ， kǎi yú de rén zì yě hěn duō ， lín xuān dāng rán bù yuàn yì fàng guò ， bì jìng duì tā lái shuō ， zhēn líng zhī xuè ， yuán běn jiù yǒu zhe bié yàng yì yì lái zhe 。
一时间人人侧目，凯觎的人自也很多，林轩当然不愿意放过，毕竟对他来说，真灵之血，原本就有着别样意义来着。
Using this secret technique to refine this pure true dragon essence blood would greatly enhance the Nine Palace Momentary Sword's power. On top of its current capabilities, it could gain even more strength.
zhēn líng huà jiàn jué ！
真灵化剑诀！
Faced with such a great benefit, Lin Xuan spared no effort and finally traded his refined ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk for this treasure.
ruò shì yòng cǐ mì shù ， liàn huà le zhè chún zhèng de zhēn lóng líng xuè ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de wēi lì ， zì rán huì gèng shàng yī céng lóu ， zài yuán yǒu de jī chǔ shàng ， zài zēng jiā xǔ duō 。
若是用此秘术，炼化了这纯正的真龙灵血，九宫须臾剑的威力，自然会更上一层楼，在原有的基础上，再增加许多。
Now, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged in the training room. Suddenly, he reached out and lightly tapped his waist. A flash of light appeared as an jade bottle flew out. Compared to ordinary spirit pills bottles, this one was too delicate and small, barely a few inches tall, making it look exceptionally unique.
miàn duì zhè tiān dà de hǎo chù ， lín xuān yě gù bù shàng cáng 『 bǎi dù tiē ba ☆ wén zì shǒu fā 』 zhuō ， shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù ， zhōng yú yòng tí chún hòu de wàn nián líng rǔ ， huàn qǔ le zhè jiàn bǎo wù 。
面对这天大的好处，林轩也顾不上藏『百度贴吧☆文字首发』拙，使尽浑身解数，终于用提纯后的万年灵乳，换取了这件宝物。
Lin Xuan held the jade bottle, examining it for a moment before lifting it slightly. With a "bang," the cap shot up into the air.
cǐ kè lín xuān zài liàn gōng fáng pán xī ér zuò ， tū rán tā shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān qīng qīng yī pāi ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yī shǎn ， yí gè yù píng fēi le chū lái ， yǔ yì bān zhuāng líng dān de yù píng xiāng bǐ ， zhè ge yù píng xiǎn de tài guò jīng zhì xiǎo qiǎo le yī mǎo xiē ， gāo bù guò cùn xǔ ， xiǎn de bié zhì yǐ jí 。
此刻林轩在练功房盘膝而坐，突然他伸出手来，在腰间轻轻一拍，只见灵光一闪，一个玉瓶飞了出来，与一般装灵丹的玉瓶相比，这个玉瓶显得太过精致小巧了一冇些，高不过寸许，显得别致以极。
Aurora!
lín xuān jiāng yù píng wò zài shǒu lǐ ， bǎ wán piàn kè ， suí hòu yě bú jiàn tā duō yú de dòng zuò ， jǐn jǐn shì qīng qīng yī tái ， biàn tīng jiàn “ pēng ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr biān ， nà yù píng de píng sāi yǐ chōng tiān fēi le qǐ lái 。
林轩将玉瓶握在手里，把玩片刻，随后也不见他多余的动作，仅仅是轻轻一抬，便听见“嘭”的一声传入耳边，那玉瓶的瓶塞已冲天飞了起来。
Instantly, golden light filled the room, followed by the roar of a dragon. Accompanying this was an overwhelming spiritual pressure rising into the sky.
áng ！
昂！
Even with his current strength, Lin Xuan felt a bit shaken under that pressure.
shà shí jiān ， jīn guāng dà zuò ， suí hòu gèng yǒu jù lóng de páo xiāo shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì yī gǔ kě pà de líng yā chōng tiān ér qǐ 。
霎时间，金光大做，随后更有巨龙的咆哮声传入耳朵，与之伴随的是一股可怕的灵压冲天而起。
But satisfaction spread across his face. It truly was genuine true dragon essence blood.
yǐ lín xuān de shí lì ， mù yù zài nà líng yā xià ， yě gǎn jué yǒu diǎn xīn jì 。
以林轩的实力，沐浴在那灵压下，也感觉有点心悸。
He hadn’t regretted anything for all he had endured to obtain it, even offending the Thousand Illusion Old Demon in the process.
dàn tā de liǎn shàng ， què lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， guǒ rán shì rú jiǎ bāo huàn de zhēn lóng líng xuè lái zhe 。
但他的脸上，却露出满意之色，果然是如假包换的真龙灵血来着。
If not for that battle, he wouldn't have been swept by spatial turbulence into this lost realm.
bù wǎng zì jǐ dāng chū wèi zhè líng xuè yī fān xīn kǔ ， shèn zhì hái dé zuì le qiān huàn lǎo mó 。
不枉自己当初为这灵血一番辛苦，甚至还得罪了千幻老魔。
Tracing back, everything stemmed from the true dragon essence blood.
shuō qǐ lái ， ruò bú shì yǔ nà lǎo mó yī fān dà zhàn ， zì jǐ yě bú huì bèi kōng jiān luàn liú juǎn dào zhè shī luò de jiè miàn lái 。
说起来，若不是与那老魔一番大战，自己也不会被空间乱流卷到这失落的界面来。
Of course, Lin Xuan harbored no regrets. There was always a price to be paid and gained. It was too early to make any definitive judgments about his fate in this lost realm.
zhuī běn sù yuán ， yī qiè dōu shì yīn zhè zhēn lóng líng xuè ér qǐ 。
追本溯源，一切都是因这真龙灵血而起。
A smug smile played on Lin Xuan's lips as he took a deep breath and pointed forward with one finger.
dāng rán ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu shén me hòu huǐ zhī yì 。
当然，林轩并没有什么后悔之意。
Zzzz…
fán shì yǒu shī jiù yǒu dé ， rú jīn jiù xià dìng lùn wéi shí guò zǎo ， zì jǐ lái shī luò jiè miàn ， jiū jìng shì fú shì huò ， xiàn zài hái hěn nán shuō 。
凡事有失就有得，如今就下定论为时过早，自己来失落界面，究竟是福是祸，现在还很难说。
Lin Xuan’s movements were extremely gentle, without the slightest hint of force. A slender crystal thread shot out from his fingertips.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī zì dé ， suí hòu shēn shēn hū xī ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
林轩嘴角边流露出一丝自得，随后深深呼吸，一指向前点去。
The thread was pure silver, delicate yet dazzling, seemingly imbued with boundless magical power.
chī ……
嗤……
After shooting out from Lin Xuan's fingers, it vanished and reappeared a few feet away, having sliced off a small piece of the dragon’s essence shadow.
lín xuān de dòng zuò ， qīng róu yǐ jí ， bù dài fēn háo huǒ qì ， yī gēn xiān xì de jīng sī cóng tā de zhǐ jiān jī☆ shè le chū qù 。
林轩的动作，轻柔以极，不带分毫火气，一根纤细的晶丝从他的指尖jī☆射了出去。
Not large, just one percent of the entire shadow.
nà jīng sī zuò chún yín sè ， suī rán xiān qiǎo ， què cuǐ càn yǐ jí ， fǎng fú yùn hán yǒu wú jìn de fǎ lì 。
那晶丝做纯银色，虽然纤巧，却璀璨以极，仿佛蕴含有无尽的法力。
The golden light dimmed as a tiny drop of spirit blood appeared.
cóng lín xuān de zhǐ jiān shè ☆ chū yǐ hòu ， yī shǎn ， suí hòu jiù xiāo shī bú jiàn ， dāng tā zài chū xiàn shí ， yǐ shì zài zhàng xǔ zhī wài 。
从林轩的指尖射☆出以后，一闪，随后就消失不见，当它再出现时，已是在丈许之外。
This spirit blood was as small as a grain of rice but emitted astonishing spiritual energy from its surface. Some faint talisman inscriptions could be seen pulsing, though they were so small that they couldn’t be discerned by the naked eye without using the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye.
ér nà yóu zhēn lóng líng xuè huàn huà chū de xū yǐng ， què bèi qiē gē xià le xiǎo xiǎo de yī piàn 。
而那由真龙灵血幻化出的虚影，却被切割下了小小的一片。
The tiny inscriptions gradually became clear.
bìng bù shèn dà ， bù guò zhěng gè xū yǐng de bǎi fēn zhī yī 。
并不甚大，不过整个虚影的百分之一。
Lin Xuan raised his head slightly, his eyes filled with intense interest before he opened his mouth to suck in the drop of true dragon essence blood.
jīn guāng àn dàn xià lái ， yī dī xiǎo xiǎo de líng xuè chū xiàn 。
金光黯淡下来，一滴小小的灵血出现。
An incredible scene unfolded.
nà líng xuè xiǎo ruò mǐ lì ， cóng qí biǎo miàn ， què sàn fà chū jīng rén yǐ jí de líng qì ， yǐn yǐn hái yǒu xǔ duō fú wén pēn bó tūn tǔ ， bù guò nà fú wén jiù gèng xiǎo le ， ròu yǎn gēn běn kàn dōu kàn bù qīng chǔ ， bù dé bù shī zhǎn chū tiān fèng shén mù 。
那灵血小若米粒，从其表面，却散发出惊人以极的灵气，隐隐还有许多符文喷bó吞吐，不过那符文就更小了，肉眼根本看都看不清楚，不得不施展出天凤神目。
A layer of golden hue appeared on Lin Xuan's face as faint scales began to appear on his arms and cheeks.
nà yí gè gè xì ruò bú jiàn de fú wén ， cái zhú jiàn qīng xī qǐ lái le 。
那一个个细若不见的符文，才逐渐清晰起来了。
His breathing became heavier. The effect of the true dragon essence blood was even stronger than expected.
lín xuān wēi wēi yáng qǐ tóu ， yǎn zhōng liú lù chū yī sī rè qiè zhī sè ， suí hòu èr huà bù shuō de zhāng kǒu yī xī ， nà dī zhēn lóng líng xuè jiù bèi tā tūn le jìn qù 。
林轩微微扬起头，眼中流露出一丝热切之色，随后二话不说的张口一吸，那滴真龙灵血就被他吞了进去。
Of course, this was good. Lin Xuan quickly formed a hand seal according to the Black Jade True Spirit Art method to refine the spirit blood.
suí hòu ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù 『 mèng yǐ qǐ háng ☆ qīng yì ěr yǎ 』 chū xiàn le 。
随后，不可思议的一幕『梦已启航☆清逸尔雅』出现了。
After several months, Lin Xuan opened his eyes, his face returning to its usual color as the scales on his arms and cheeks disappeared. Refining such a tiny drop of spirit blood took nearly a hundred days.
lín xuān liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū yī céng qiān sè ， suí hòu shǒu bì ， liǎn jiá ， jìng yǐn yǐn yǒu jīn sè de lín piàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
林轩脸上浮现出一层佥色，随后手臂，脸颊，竟隐隐有金色的鳞片浮现而出。
But Lin Xuan was not worried; true dragon essence blood indeed lived up to its reputation.
lín xuān de hū xī yě biàn dé cū zhòng qǐ lái ， zhè zhēn lóng líng xuè de xiào lì ， jìng bǐ zì jǐ yuán xiān yù xiǎng de ， hái yào gèng jiā lì hài yī xiē 。
林轩的呼吸也变得粗重起来，这真龙灵血的效力，竟比自己原先预想的，还要更加厉害一些。
Without resting, he raised his right hand again, another bright crystal thread emerging.
dāng rán ， zhè shì hǎo shì ， lín xuān máng shuāng shǒu qiā jué ， àn zhào mò yù zhēn líng jué de fāng fǎ ， liàn huà líng xuè 。
当然，这是好事，林轩忙双手掐诀，按照墨玉真灵诀的方法，炼化灵血。
The rest didn’t need recounting. Over the next two decades, Lin Xuan refined the spirit blood diligently.
shù yuè hòu ， lín xuān zhēng kāi shuāng móu ， liǎn shàng yǐ huī fù le cháng sè ， shǒu zú ， liǎn jiá shàng de lín piàn yě bú jiàn le ， jiù liàn huà zhè yī dī xiǎo ruò mǐ lì de líng xuè ， jū rán huā fèi le jìn bǎi tiān de gōng fu 。
数月后，林轩睁开双眸，脸上已恢复了常色，手足，脸颊上的鳞片也不见了，就炼化这一滴小若米粒的灵血，居然花费了近百天的功夫。
"Roar!"
dàn lín xuān què bù yōu fǎn xǐ ， zhēn zhèng de zhēn lóng líng xuè ， guǒ rán shì shèng míng wú xū 。
但林轩却不忧反喜，真正的真龙灵血，果然是盛名无虚。
In the early morning sky, a clear dragon's roar echoed. Following this, a figure shot up into the air. Compared to before his seclusion, Lin Xuan’s appearance hadn't changed much, but the aura he emitted was different—more powerful.
suí hòu lín xuān yě bù xiū xī ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yòu shì yī dào liàng lì de jīng sī fú xiàn ér qǐ 。
随后林轩也不休息，右手抬起，又是一道亮丽的晶丝浮现而起。
As they say, good fortune doesn’t come in twos, and misfortune never comes alone. But sometimes, when luck strikes, it can’t be stopped. Lin Xuan never imagined that refining true dragon essence blood to enhance his True Spirit Sword Art would make him show signs of advancing to the peak realm.
After all, there were countless places where ancient spirits had cultivated and lost realms that were hard to miss. But they certainly weren't everywhere. For ordinary cultivators passing by such places, who would pay attention?
Lin Xuan's life was now extremely tranquil, which suited him just fine.
It took him twenty years to finally replenish his true essence after the battle losses. The minor hazards caused by consuming the immortal milk of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit had also dissipated.
Now, Lin Xuan’s physical strength and mental energy were at their peak.
However, he wasn't planning on breaking through just yet. Twenty years might seem long for ordinary people, but in his realm, it was merely a blink of an eye.
The old monster from the Scorpion Mountain suffered greatly, and this grudge wouldn’t vanish in mere decades.
