以林轩如今的实力,想要斩杀一同阶妖族,那可以说,是分毫也没有难度,何况此时此刻,他并非孤家寡人一个,旁边还有那同为分神后期的老者做帮手。
With Lin Xuan's current strength, it would be virtually effortless for him to kill a妖族 of the same rank. Moreover, he was not alone; there was an elder at the 分神后期 stage helping him.
shèng fù sī háo xuán niàn yě wú , bù guò lín xuān yě wú yì jiāng zì jǐ de zhēn zhèng shí lì xiǎn lù 。
胜负丝毫悬念也无,不过林轩也无意将自己的真正实力显露。
The outcome was clear and without any悬念. However, Lin Xuan had no intention of revealing his true power.
dī diào shì tā de yuán zé , zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià tā zhǐ yào zhǎn xiàn chū yī pǔ tōng fēn shén hòu qī xiū shì de shuǐ zhǔn jiù yǐ zú gòu 。
低调是他的原则,这种情况下他只要展现出一普通分神后期修士的水准就已足够。
He kept a low profile, only needing to display the skills of an ordinary 分神后期 cultivator.
lín xuān cāo zòng huǒ hóng xiān jiàn , jǐn jǐn shì kùn zhù duì shǒu , ér dé le tā de zhè fèn bāng zhù , nà zào páo lǎo zhě què jīng shén dà zhèn qǐ lái le 。
林轩操纵火红仙剑,仅仅是困住对手,而得了他的这份帮助,那皂袍老者却精神大振起来了。
Lin Xuan controlled the fiery immortal sword, merely trapping the opponent. With this elder's assistance, he unleashed a series of powerful attacks on the 开山螃. Although the crab had thick skin, the power of a fellow rank cultivator’s treasure was formidable. It soon found itself in trouble, unable to escape as it was tightly bound by two people.
qū dòng zì jǐ de jǐ jiàn bǎo wù , hěn hěn tòng dǎ luò shuǐ gǒu 。
驱动自己的几件宝物,狠狠痛打落水狗。
"Bang!"
kāi shān xiè suī rán pí cāo ròu hòu , dàn tóng jiē xiū shì fǎ bǎo de wēi lì , yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě , yǐ guǎ dí zhòng , tā hěn kuài biàn chī le bù xiǎo de kǔ tóu , xiǎng pǎo , què yòu bèi liǎng rén sǐ sǐ chán zhù 。
开山蟹虽然皮糙肉厚,但同阶修士法宝的威力,也非同小可,以寡敌众,它很快便吃了不小的苦头,想跑,却又被两人死死缠住。
Lin Xuan suddenly shouted and pointed his right hand forward. A flash of red light appeared, and the fiery immortal sword pierced through the crab's head like a celestial dragon. With a vigorous stir, the massive body ceased moving.
“ zhe !”
“着!”
Without further action from Lin Xuan, he simply closed his fingers with a "bang" sound that echoed in his ears. The crab's body exploded, and a fist-sized妖丹 flew into his palm.
lín xuān tū rán yī shēng qīng hē , tóng shí yòu shǒu tái qǐ , yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
林轩突然一声轻喝,同时右手抬起,一指像前点去。
Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction. While his wealth was vast, 分神级别的妖丹 wasn't particularly impressive to him. However, the 开山螃 was unique; it had long been extinct in the spirit realm, making its妖丹 potentially useful for him.
zhǐ jiàn hóng guāng yī shǎn , nà huǒ hóng xiān jiàn rú tóng tiān wài jiāo lóng yì bān , chuān pò le nà kāi shān páng de tóu lú , zài shǐ jìn yī jiǎo , duì fāng páng dà de shēn qū , dùn shí bù dòng le 。
只见红光一闪,那火红仙剑如同天外蛟龙一般,穿破了那开山螃的头颅,再使劲一搅,对方庞大的身躯,顿时不动了。
Lin Xuan flipped his hand and put the crab into his storage bracelet without hesitation.
suí hòu yě bú jiàn lín xuān duō yú de dòng zuò , jǐn jǐn shì wǔ zhǐ yī hé ,“ pēng ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , páng xiè de shēn tǐ bào kāi , yī kē quán tou dà xiǎo de yāo dān fēi rù le lín xuān de shǒu xīn lǐ miàn 。
随后也不见林轩多余的动作,仅仅是五指一合,“嘭”的一声传入耳朵,螃蟹的身体爆开,一颗拳头大小的妖丹飞入了林轩的手心里面。
The elder in the brown robe watched with envy but hesitated before doing anything. Instead, he bowed to Lin Xuan: "Thank you, friend, for your assistance. I am grateful. If not for your help, I might have escaped, but killing this 开山螃 would have been impossible."
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè , píng xīn lái shuō , yǐ tā shēn jiā zhī fēng fù , fēn shén jí bié de yāo dān suàn bù liǎo shén me , dàn zhè kāi shān xiè bù tóng , zài líng jiè , nǎi shì zǎo yǐ miè jué de shì wù , tā de yāo dān duì zì jǐ lái shuō , yě xǔ huì yǒu yī xiē bié yàng de yòng tú 。
林轩脸上露出满意之色,平心来说,以他身家之丰富,分神级别的妖丹算不了什么,但这开山蟹不同,在灵界,乃是早已灭绝的事物,它的妖丹对自己来说,也许会有一些别样的用途。
"Ha ha, no need to be so polite. This妖 was eliminated by both of us. I took the妖丹; the rest is yours if you're interested," Lin Xuan said casually.
lín xuān shǒu zhǎng yī fān , háo bú kè qì de jiāng tā shōu rù le zì jǐ de chǔ wù dài lǐ miàn 。
林轩手掌一翻,毫不客气的将它收入了自己的储物袋里面。
The elder looked surprised and then nodded in agreement: "Very well, I won't be so rude. Meeting you will be a pleasure. The materials from this 开山螃 are indeed useful to me."
yī páng nà zào páo lǎo zhě kàn dé yǎn rè , dàn lüè yī chí yí , què shén me yě méi zuò bù jǐn rú cǐ tā hái chōng lín xuān yī gǒng shǒu :“ duō xiè dào yǒu yuán shǒu zhī dé , sūn mǒu zài zhè lǐ duō xiè le , ruò bú shì dào yǒu , zài xià suī rán zì xìn yě néng gòu tuō xiǎn , dàn zhǎn shā zhè kāi shān xiè , què shì wú lùn rú hé yě zuò bú dào de , cǐ yāo yī shēn bǎo wù , lǐ yīng wèi dào yǒu suǒ de 。”
一旁那皂袍老者看得眼热,但略一迟疑,却什么也没做不仅如此他还冲林轩一拱手:“多谢道友援手之德,孙某在这里多谢了,若不是道友,在下虽然自信也能够脱险,但斩杀这开山蟹,却是无论如何也做不到的,此妖一身宝物,理应为道友所得。”
With that, he flashed past like a floating crab on the sea surface. Within a short while, the large monster was cut into pieces by his treasures and stored in his storage bracelet.
“ hē hē , dào yǒu wú xū zhè yàng kè qì , cǐ yāo shì nǐ wǒ lián shǒu miè chú , lín mǒu yǐ qǔ le yāo dān zhì yú qí tā de dōng xī , dào yǒu ruò yǒu xìng qù jǐn guǎn qǔ yòng jiù shì le 。”
“呵呵,道友无需这样客气,此妖是你我联手灭除,林某已取了妖丹至于其他的东西,道友若有兴趣尽管取用就是了。”
Returning with satisfaction, he greeted Lin Xuan: "You came here for the exchange meeting hosted by Master Lei Kong."
lín xuān bǎi bǎi shǒu , háo bù zài yì de shuō 。
林轩摆摆手,毫不在意的说。
"Exchange meeting?" Lin Xuan was taken aback, his voice filled with surprise.
nà zào páo lǎo zhě yī dāi , liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn è rán 。
那皂袍老者一呆,脸上露出几分愕然。
"How so? Are you unaware of this? Did you just happen to pass by?" The elder touched his head, looking genuinely puzzled.
dàn mù guāng sǎo guò , què jiàn lín xuān yī liǎn de chéng kěn zhī sè , tā yě bù yóu de yǒu xiē dòng róng :“ hǎo , sūn mǒu jiù bú kè qì , jiāo le gé xià zhè ge péng yǒu , bù mán dào yǒu , zhè kāi shān xiè de yāo shòu cái liào , duì wǒ hái zhēn yǒu jǐ fēn yòng tú 。”
但目光扫过,却见林轩一脸的诚恳之色,他也不由得有些动容:“好,孙某就不客气,交了阁下这个朋友,不瞒道友,这开山蟹的妖兽材料,对我还真有几分用途。”
"Oh, from your tone, Master Lei Kong must be quite famous," Lin Xuan said, raising an eyebrow.
huà yīn wèi luò zhǐ jiàn tā shēn xíng yī shǎn , yǐ xiàng piāo fú zài hǎi miàn shàng de kāi shān xiè fēi qù le 。
话音未落只见他身形一闪,已像漂浮在海面上的开山蟹飞去了。
"Indeed. You are not a local cultivator; it's understandable that you haven't heard of Master Lei Kong." The elder seemed to realize something: "Master Lei Kong is also at the 分神后期 stage, but he is well-known for his benevolence and extensive social network in this region. He has the reputation of a small Meng Chang. I came here specifically for the exchange meeting hosted by him, and fortunately, we encountered this妖."
yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu yǐ hòu zhè ruò dà de guài wù , què bèi tā yòng bǎo bèi qiè kāi , fēn mén bié lèi de shōu rù le chǔ wù dài 。
一盏茶的功夫以后这偌大的怪物,却被他用宝贝切开,分门别类的收入了储物袋。
"Ah, I see," Lin Xuan understood the situation.
suí hòu tā cái mǎn liǎn dé yì de fēi le huí lái , chōng lín mǒu yī bào quán :“ dào yǒu lái dào cǐ chù , kě shì qián lái cān jiā léi kōng zhēn rén jǔ bàn de jiāo 『 bǎi dù tiē ba ☆ wén zì shǒu fā 』 huàn huì 。
随后他才满脸得意的飞了回来,冲林某一抱拳:“道友来到此处,可是前来参加雷空真人举办的交『百度贴吧☆文字首发』换会。
The elder then invited: "If you have nothing else to do, would you like to join me? Master Lei Kong has extensive connections, and his exchange meetings are of high quality. There will be countless treasures and artifacts, as well as discussions on cultivation techniques and anecdotes from the cultivation world."
“ jiāo huàn huì ?” lín xuān yī dāi , shēng yīn zhōng tòu zhe chà rán 。
“交换会?”林轩一呆,声音中透着诧然。
"Me"
“ zěn me , dào yǒu bù xiǎo de , mò fēi nǐ zhǐ shì pèng qiǎo lù guò ?” nà zào páo xiū shì shēn shǒu mō le mō nǎo dài , jīng yí de biǎo qíng kě yì diǎn yě bù xiàng zhuāng chū lái 。
“怎么,道友不晓得,莫非你只是碰巧路过?”那皂袍修士伸手摸了摸脑袋,惊疑的表情可一点也不像装出来。
Lin Xuan didn't show much interest at first but suddenly became interested.
“ ó , tīng dào yǒu yán yǔ , nà léi kōng zhēn rén , mò fēi hěn yǒu míng me ?” lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo de shuō 。
“哦,听道友言语,那雷空真人,莫非很有名么?”林轩眉头一挑的说。
Master Lei Kong was not someone Lin Xuan cared about, nor did he think much of his exchange meetings since he now matched the strength and wealth of a cultivator who had passed through the劫stage. Such level meetings wouldn't yield many useful treasures for him.
“ kàn lái dào yǒu bìng fēi zhè fù jìn de xiū shì , nà méi yǒu tīng guò léi kōng zhēn rén de dà míng yě jiù bù zú wéi qí 。” nà zào páo lǎo zhě yǒu diǎn huǎng rán de kāi kǒu :“ léi kōng zhēn rén , yǔ nǐ wǒ yī yàng , yě shì fēn shén hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě , dàn wéi rén lè shàn hào shī , jiāo yóu guǎng kuò yǐ jí , zài zhè fù jìn , dà dà yǒu míng , yǒu xiǎo mèng cháng de měi yù , sūn mǒu cǐ xíng , yuán běn jiù shì qù cān jiā léi kōng zhēn rén jǔ bàn de jiāo huàn huì , bù xiǎng yù jiàn cǐ yāo , xìng hǎo yǒu dào yǒu yuán shǒu ……。”
“看来道友并非这附近的修士,那没有听过雷空真人的大名也就不足为奇。”那皂袍老者有点恍然的开口:“雷空真人,与你我一样,也是分神后期的修仙者,但为人乐善好施,交游广阔以极,在这附近,大大有名,有小孟尝的美誉,孙某此行,原本就是去参加雷空真人举办的交换会,不想遇见此妖,幸好有道友援手……。”
However, the prospect of hearing anecdotes from the cultivation world piqued his interest. Although Lin Xuan had been in this lost realm for some time, his understanding was still far behind that of native cultivators.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”
“原来如此。”
With three years spent searching for a suitable灵地 without success due to the幽冥暗王, he couldn't gather information openly and had to search aimlessly. Since there were no clues, it wouldn't hurt to attend the exchange meeting.
lín xuān zǒng suàn le jiě liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò , suí hòu duì fāng què yòu kāi kǒu yāo qǐng :“ dào yǒu ruò shì zuǒ yòu wú shì , yǒu méi yǒu xìng qù yǔ wǒ tóng háng , léi kōng zhēn rén jiāo yóu guǎng kuò , jǔ bàn de jiāo huàn huì pǐn zhì nà yě shì hěn gāo de , bù jǐn qí zhēn yì bǎo wú shù , dà jiā hái huì jiāo huàn xiū liàn xīn dé , yǐ jí tán lùn xiū xiān jiè de yī xiē qí wén yì shì , zēng zhǎng jiàn shí ……。”
林轩总算了解了事情的始末,随后对方却又开口邀请:“道友若是左右无事,有没有兴趣与我同行,雷空真人交游广阔,举办的交换会品质那也是很高的,不仅奇珍异宝无数,大家还会交换修炼心得,以及谈论修仙界的一些奇闻异事,增长见识……。”
If by chance, he could find useful information from other cultivators' discussions, that would be ideal. Even if nothing came of it, it was still a worthwhile effort.
“ wǒ ”
“我”
Deciding on this, Lin Xuan smiled: "I indeed have nothing else to do. If you insist, I can join your exchange meeting. However, Master Lei Kong is someone I've never met; going without prior notice might seem presumptuous."
yuán běn lín xuān liǎn shàng , yě bìng méi yǒu liú lù chū duō gǎn xìng qù de shén sè , tīng dào zhè ér , què yī xià zi liú shàng xīn le 。
原本林轩脸上,也并没有流露出多感兴趣的神色,听到这儿,却一下子留上心了。
"Haha, that's exactly what you're worried about. I already said that Master Lei Kong has the reputation of a small Meng Chang and loves to help others. You are a powerful cultivator, and he will be delighted if you come. He won't blame you for anything," the elder reassured.
nà léi kōng zhēn rén lín xuān bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ , tā suǒ jǔ bàn de jiāo huàn huì , lín xuān yě bìng bù zài hū , bì jìng tā rú jīn bù lùn shí lì hái shì shēn jiā , dōu yǐ kān bǐ dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě , zhè zhǒng děng jí de jiāo huàn huì , yǐ hěn nán táo dào shén me hé yòng de bǎo wù 。
那雷空真人林轩不放在眼里,他所举办的交换会,林轩也并不在乎,毕竟他如今不论实力还是身家,都已堪比渡劫级别的修仙者,这种等级的交换会,已很难淘到什么合用的宝物。
Hearing this, Lin Xuan felt at ease: "Thank you, Brother Sun. Where does Master Lei Kong reside?"
rán ér tán lùn xiū xiān jiè de qí wén yì shì , què yī xià zi ràng tā dòng xīn , lín xuān lái dào shī luò de jiè miàn , suī rán yě yǒu yī xiē nián suì , rán ér duì yú gāi jiè miàn de liǎo jiě , yǔ gāi jiè miàn tǔ shēng tǔ zhǎng de xiū shì xiāng bǐ , chā jù yī jiù shì hěn yáo yuǎn dì 。
然而谈论修仙界的奇闻异事,却一下子让他动心,林轩来到失落的界面,虽然也有一些年岁,然而对于该界面的了解,与该界面土生土长的修士相比,差距依旧是很遥远地。
"Ha ha, no need to be so formal. I'm going in that direction too; we can travel together." The elder's laughter echoed as he transformed into a streak of light and flew away.
rú jīn zì jǐ huā le zhěng zhěng sān nián , yě méi yǒu xún zhǎo dào yī kuài hé shì de líng dì , yīn wèi yōu míng àn wáng de yuán gù , dǎ tàn xiāo xī yě bù néng dà zhāng qí gǔ , zhǐ néng rú méi tóu cāng yíng yì bān de luàn chuǎng , jì rán méi yǒu xiàn suǒ , zuǒ yòu yě shì wú shì , qù cān jiā yī xià jiāo huàn huì yě shì wú fáng 。
如今自己花了整整三年,也没有寻找到一块合适的灵地,因为幽冥暗王的缘故,打探消息也不能大张旗鼓,只能如没头苍蝇一般的乱闯,既然没有线索,左右也是无事,去参加一下交换会也是无妨。
Lin Xuan followed calmly, his face showing no urgency. They chatted while traveling, with the elder being very talkative and probing Lin Xuan about his background.
ruò shì jī yuán qiǎo hé , néng cóng nǎ xiē xiū shì de tán lùn zhōng zhǎo dào duì zì jǐ yǒu yòng de xiāo xī , nà shì zài hǎo bù guò , tuì yī wàn bù shuō , jiù suàn méi yǒu shōu huò , yě bù guò shì bǎi máng yī cháng 。
若是机缘巧合,能从哪些修士的谈论中找到对自己有用的消息,那是再好不过,退一万不说,就算没有收获,也不过是百忙一场。
Lin Xuan, being highly intelligent, had prepared an eloquent response, simply claiming to be a wandering cultivator. The elder didn't doubt him.
niàn jí zhì cǐ , lín xuān yǐ jīng ná dìng le zhǔ yì , yī bào quán , zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū xiào yì lái :“ lín mǒu què shí wú shì , dào yǒu jì rán zhè me shuō , nà suí nǐ qù cān jiā yī xià jiāo huàn huì yě shì wú fáng , zhǐ shì 『 mèng yǐ qǐ háng ☆ qīng yì ěr yǎ 』 léi kōng zhēn rén zài xià cóng wèi jiàn guò , zhè mào rán qián qù , huì bú huì yǒu xiē táng jiā ……”
念及至此,林轩已经拿定了主意,一抱拳,嘴角边露出笑意来:“林某确实无事,道友既然这么说,那随你去参加一下交换会也是无妨,只是『梦已启航☆清逸尔雅』雷空真人在下从未见过,这冒然前去,会不会有些唐家……”
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan inquired about灵地 information, but the quality he needed was exceptionally high, so no useful leads were found immediately.
With Lin Xuan's current strength, it would be virtually effortless for him to kill a妖族 of the same rank. Moreover, he was not alone; there was an elder at the 分神后期 stage helping him.
The outcome was clear and without any悬念. However, Lin Xuan had no intention of revealing his true power.
