“ dào yǒu fèi jìn xīn jī jiāng zhè xiē xiǎo bèi sòng rù líng bō gǔ ， xiǎng yào xún zhǎo de ， què bù guò qū qū yī shǒu zhuó ， bù zhī yǒu hé xuán miào zhī chù ， ràng dào yǒu zhè yàng de zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， yě shàng xīn dào rú cǐ dì bù 。”
“道友费尽心机将这些小辈送入灵波谷，想要寻找的，却不过区区一手镯，不知有何玄妙之处，让道友这样的真魔始祖，也上心到如此地步。”
"Friend, you went to great lengths to send these juniors into the Spirit Wave Valley. What you seek is merely a simple bracelet. I wonder what secret makes such an important matter for a True Demon Ancestor like yourself."
chén mò piàn kè ， nà qīng páo lǎo zhě rěn bú zhù xīn zhōng de hào qí ， zuǐ chún wēi qǐ ， shēng yīn zhōng chōng mǎn le shì tàn de yǔ qì 。
沉默片刻，那青袍老者忍不住心中的好奇，嘴唇微启，声音中充满了试探的语气。
The old man in green robes could not resist his curiosity and slightly opened his lips, his voice filled with probing.
“ dào yǒu zhè huà hé yì ， mò fēi duì yú qiè shēn xiǎng yào xún zhǎo de bǎo wù ， yě yǒu shén me xiǎng fǎ bù chéng me ？” bīng pò xiù méi yī tiāo ， shēng yīn yǔ qì ， què shì lěng mò yǐ jí ， shèn zhì yǐn yǐn dài yǒu jǐ fēn wēi xié zhī yì 。
“道友这话何意，莫非对于妾身想要寻找的宝物，也有什么想法不成么？”冰魄秀眉一挑，声音语气，却是冷漠以极，甚至隐隐带有几分威胁之意。
"Friend, what do you mean by that? Do you have some thoughts on the treasure I wish to find?" Ice Spirit's delicate eyebrows raised. Her tone was extremely cold, even hinting at a threat.
“ hē hē ， dào yǒu hé chū cǐ yán ， zài xià kě méi yǒu nà me dà de dǎn ， bù guò shì xīn zhōng hào qí ， cái zhè me suí biàn yī wèn ér yǐ 。”
“呵呵，道友何出此言，在下可没有那么大的胆，不过是心中好奇，才这么随便一问而已。”
"Haha, Friend, why would you say such a thing? I don't dare to be so bold. It's just out of curiosity, asking casually."
qīng yán zūn zhě xīn zhōng fèn nù ， dàn biǎo miàn shàng ， kě bù gǎn xiǎn lù chū fēn háo bù mǎn 。
青颜尊者心中愤怒，但表面上，可不敢显露出分毫不满。
The Venerable Green Face was furious inside but dared not show any displeasure on the surface.
bì jìng ， xiū xiān jiè shì qiáng zhě wèi zūn dì ， bīng pò shèng zǔ hǎo dà de míng qì ， nǎ pà chū xiàn zài yǎn qián de ， jǐn jǐn shì tā de yī jù huà shēn ér yǐ ， dàn qīng yán zūn zhě tóng yàng zhāo rě bù qǐ 。
毕竟，修仙界是强者为尊地，冰魄圣祖好大的名气，哪怕出现在眼前的，仅仅是她的一具化身而已，但青颜尊者同样招惹不起。
After all, in the cultivation world, strength is supreme, and Ice Spirit's Saintly reputation was immense. Even though she appeared as a mere avatar before him, he still could not afford to provoke her.
zhè bú shì wàng zì fěi bó ， ér shì duì fāng zhǎn xiàn chū lái de shí lì ， què shí yào bǐ tā qiáng dà dé duō 。
这不是妄自菲薄，而是对方展现出来的实力，确实要比他强大得多。
This wasn't arrogance; it was because his opponent's power was indeed much greater than his own.
hé kuàng tā xiǎng yào lí kāi yǎn qián de láo lóng ， hái yào jiè zhù bīng pò ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， zì rán dōu bú shì hé yǔ tā fān liǎn jiāo wù 。
何况他想要离开眼前的牢笼，还要借助冰魄，于情于理，自然都不适合与她翻脸交恶。
Moreover, if he wanted to leave this cage, he needed Ice Spirit’s help. Emotionally and logically, there was no reason for them to fall out.
“ hào qí ， dào yǒu xiū wèi néng dào dù jié qī ， dāng zhī huò cóng kǒu chū de dào lǐ ， běn gōng yě bù mán nǐ ， nà shǒu zhuó què shí shì yī fēi fán de bǎo wù ， bù guò dào yǒu dé liǎo què méi yǒu yòng tú ， zuì hǎo bù yào shēng chū bié de xīn sī ， fǒu zé ， kě bié guài běn gōng fān liǎn bù rèn rén dì 。”
“好奇，道友修为能到渡劫期，当知祸从口出的道理，本宫也不瞒你，那手镯确实是一非凡的宝物，不过道友得了却没有用途，最好不要生出别的心思，否则，可别怪本宫翻脸不认人地。”
"I am curious, Friend. Knowing your cultivation level at the Tribulation Transcending stage, you should understand thatdisaster/misfortune fromblurt out. I won't hide it from you; that bracelet is indeed a remarkable treasure. But if you have obtained it without any use, don’t harbor other thoughts or else, don’t blame me for changing my mind."
“ shì ， shì ！”
“是，是！”
"Yes, yes!"
qīng yán zūn zhě wéi wéi nuò nuò ， xīn zhōng de yù mèn bù bì shuō ， tā suī rán yě cāi guò ， bīng pò bú huì gào sù zì jǐ ， dàn zuò mèng yě méi xiǎng dào ， duì fāng huì rú cǐ qiáng shì 。
青颜尊者唯唯诺诺，心中的郁闷不必说，他虽然也猜过，冰魄不会告诉自己，但做梦也没想到，对方会如此强势。
The Venerable Green Face nodded submissively. His mood was not hard to imagine. Although he had guessed Ice Spirit wouldn't tell him, he never expected her to be so assertive.
zhè zhēn shì zì tǎo méi qù ， piān piān yǎn qián zhè wèi ， tā hái zhēn rě bù qǐ 。
这真是自讨没趣，偏偏眼前这位，他还真惹不起。
This truly backfired on himself, and this person before him was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.
jīng guò zhè me yī xiǎo chā qǔ ， liǎng rén jiān de qì fēn kě jiù yǒu xiē gān gà le 。
经过这么一小插曲，两人间的气氛可就有些尴尬了。
After such a small incident, the atmosphere between them became somewhat awkward.
zhuǎn yǎn guò le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， bīng pò yīng chún wēi qǐ ， dòng tīng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ：“ dào yǒu yě bù yòng jiè yì 。 gāng cái qiè shēn yǒu diǎn xīn jí ， yǔ qì shāo wēi zhòng le nà me yī xiē ， zhǐ yào nǐ néng zhù běn gōng zhǎo dào bǎo wù ， wǒ de xǔ nuò ， shì wú lùn rú hé ， yě bú huì shí yán dì 。”
转眼过了一盏茶的功夫，冰魄樱唇微启，动听的声音传入耳朵里：“道友也不用介意。刚才妾身有点心急，语气稍微重了那么一些，只要你能助本宫找到宝物，我的许诺，是无论如何，也不会食言地。”
A moment later, Ice Spirit opened her cherry lips. Her melodious voice entered his ears: "Friend, you needn't worry about it. I was just a bit anxious earlier and spoke harshly. As long as you can help me find the treasure, my promise will never be broken."
“ hē hē ， dào yǒu yán zhòng le ， qū qū xiǎo shì ér yǐ 。 zài xià yòu zěn me huì jiè yì 。” qīng yán zūn zhě xīn zhōng suī bù shuǎng yǐ jí ， dàn biǎo miàn shàng ， què shì sī háo yě bù gǎn xiǎn lù ， lǔ shuǐ diǎn dòu fǔ ， yī wù xiáng yī wù ， nǎ pà shì dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， miàn duì gèng wéi kě pà de gāo shǒu ， yě tóng yàng bù dé bù dī xià tā men de tóu lú 。
“呵呵，道友言重了，区区小事而已。在下又怎么会介意。”青颜尊者心中虽不爽以极，但表面上，却是丝毫也不敢显露，卤水点豆腐，一物降一物，哪怕是渡劫期老怪物，面对更为可怕的高手，也同样不得不低下他们的头颅。
"Haha, Friend, that's too much. It’s nothing trivial. How could I care?" The Venerable Green Face was extremely displeased inside but dared not show it on his face. Like putting salt in tofu—what goes down must come up. Even a Tribulation Transcending old monster had to bow their heads before more formidable opponents.
“ ń ， dào yǒu néng zhè me xiǎng 。 nà shì zài hǎo bù guò ， nǐ wǒ hé zuò ， duì shuāng fāng lái shuō 。 dōu shì yǒu bǎi lì ér wú yī hài de xuǎn zé ， zhǐ shì yǒu yī shì ， qiè shēn hái yào xiàng nǐ què rèn qīng chǔ 。”
“嗯，道友能这么想。那是再好不过，你我合作，对双方来说。都是有百利而无一害的选择，只是有一事，妾身还要像你确认清楚。”
"Indeed, that's the best way of thinking. Cooperation benefits both sides. However, there is one matter I need to confirm with you."
“ dào yǒu qǐng shuō 。”
“道友请说。”
"Friend, please speak."
“ nǐ néng gòu bǎo zhèng ， yì bǎi tiān hòu ， nà xiē xiǎo jiā huo cóng líng bō gǔ chū lái ， dū huì bèi chuán sòng dào zhè lǐ me ， ruò shì yǒu rén xún dào le shǒu zhuó ， què táo wǎng bié chù ……”
“你能够保证，一百天后，那些小家伙从灵波谷出来，都会被传送到这里么，若是有人寻到了手镯，却逃往别处……”
"Can you ensure that after 100 days, all those little fellows who leave the Spirit Wave Valley will be teleported here? If someone finds the bracelet and flees elsewhere..."
“ hē hē ， dào yǒu yuán lái shì zài dān xīn zhè ge . . nǐ duō lǜ le ， tā men yì bǎi tiān hòu ， xiǎng yào lí kāi líng bō gǔ ， wéi yǒu niē suì yù fú ， ér nà bǎo bèi 。 jì shì běn zūn qīn shǒu liàn zhì ， zì rán shì yǒu bǎi fēn zhī bǎi bǎ wò dì ， dào shí hòu ， tā men chuán sòng de mù dì dì ， kěn dìng shì zhè lǐ 。 chú fēi ……”
“呵呵，道友原来是在担心这个. . 你多虑了，他们一百天后，想要离开灵波谷，唯有捏碎玉符，而那宝贝。既是本尊亲手炼制，自然是有百分之百把握地，到时候，他们传送的目的地，肯定是这里。除非……”
"Haha, Friend, you are worried about this. You overthink it. They can only leave the Spirit Wave Valley by breaking the jade token. Since I personally crafted that treasure, there's a 100% chance of success. Their destination will be here unless..."
“ chú fēi shén me ， nán dào hái yǒu shén me lì wài bù chéng me ？” bīng pò shén sè yī dòng ， yǒu diǎn jǐn zhāng de shuō ， bìng bú shì tā chén bú zhù qì ， ér shì nà bǎo bèi duì tā lái shuō ， zhòng yào yǐ jí ， guān xīn zé luàn ， jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ 。
“除非什么，难道还有什么例外不成么？”冰魄神sè一动，有点紧张的说，并不是她沉不住气，而是那宝贝对她来说，重要以极，关心则乱，就是这个道理。
"Unless what? Is there any exception?" Ice Spirit’s expression changed slightly as she spoke with some tension. It wasn’t because she was impatient; it was just how important the treasure was to her—concern could cloud judgment.
“ chú fēi yǒu rén bù yuàn yì lí kāi líng bō gǔ ， méi yǒu niē suì nà yù fú ， nà lǎo fū yě jiù wú kě nài hé 。” qīng yán zūn zhě shuāng shǒu yī tān de shuō 。
“除非有人不愿意离开灵波谷，没有捏碎那玉符，那老夫也就无可奈何。”青颜尊者双手一摊的说。
"Unless someone doesn't want to leave, not breaking that jade token, then I have no choice." The Venerable Green Face spread his hands.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ ， zhè què shì bù yòng dān xīn dì ， líng bō gǔ zhōng bǎo bèi suī duō ， dàn yì zhí liú zài nà lǐ ， què shì yǒu hài wú yì ， chú fēi nà ge jiā huo ， yǒu bǎ wò zài yì bǎi nián nèi jìn jí ， chéng wéi dù jié qī ， nǐ jué de kě néng me ？”
“原来如此，这却是不用担心地，灵波谷中宝贝虽多，但一直留在那里，却是有害无益，除非那个家伙，有把握在一百年内晋级，成为渡劫期，你觉得可能么？”
"I see. There's nothing to worry about. Although the Spirit Wave Valley has many treasures, staying there is harmful without benefit. Unless that fellow can advance within a hundred years and become Tribulation Transcending—do you think that’s possible?"
bīng pò qīng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dù jié qī de píng jǐng ， nǎ ér yǒu nà me róng yì dǎ pò ， biàn shì tā yǔ nà xiē xiǎo bèi yì dì ér chǔ ， duǎn duǎn yì bǎi nián de shí jiān ， yě jué rán bù gǎn mào zhè ge xiǎn de 。
冰魄轻笑的声音传入耳朵，渡劫期的瓶颈，哪儿有那么容易打破，便是她与那些小辈易地而处，短短一百年的时间，也决然不敢冒这个险的。
Ice Spirit's light laughter echoed in his ears. Breaking through the Tribulation stage was no easy feat; even if she were in their positions, they would not dare to take such risks in just one hundred years.
huàn jù huà shuō ， zhè ge jì huà suī bú shì wàn wú yī shī ， dàn nà xiē xiǎo bèi ， yě jué bù kě néng xié le bǎo bèi ， táo zǒu de ， tā men ruò zhǎo bú dào ā xiū luó wáng liú xià de mì bǎo yě jiù bà le ， zhǐ yào yǒu rén yùn qì bù cuò ， chéng gōng xún mì dào le nà ge shǒu zhuó ， jiù huì shì zì jǐ de náng zhōng wù 。
换句话说，这个计划虽不是万无一失，但那些小辈，也绝不可能携了宝贝，逃走的，他们若找不到阿修罗王留下的秘宝也就罢了，只要有人运气不错，成功寻觅到了那个手镯，就会是自己的囊中物。
In other words, while this plan wasn’t foolproof, those juniors wouldn't be able to carry away that treasure and escape. If they couldn't find the secret of the Asura King, it was fine. But if someone found the bracelet by luck, it would become her possession.
bīng pò xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， shēn shǒu lǐ le lǐ fà sī ， zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī shén mì de xiào yì 。
冰魄心中如此想着，伸手理了理发丝，嘴角边流露出一丝神秘的笑意。
With these thoughts in mind, Ice Spirit combed through her hair, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.
gè rén yǒu gè rén de suàn jì ， bīng pò rú cǐ ， lín xuān yòu hé cháng bú shì 。
各人有各人的算计，冰魄如此，林轩又何尝不是。
Each had their own calculations. Ice Spirit did, and so did Lin Xuan.
tóu nǎo zhōng xuàn yūn de gǎn jué xiāo shī ， lín xuān dǎ liàng zhuó yǎn qián de jǐng wù 。
头脑中眩晕的感觉消失，林轩打量着眼前的景物。
The dizzying sensation disappeared as Lin Xuan surveyed his surroundings.
suǒ wèi de líng bō gǔ ， qí shí shì yī míng zì ， bìng bú shì shuō tā men cǐ xíng de mù dì dì ， jiù zhǐ shì zài yī xiǎo xiǎo de shān gǔ lǐ ， suī rán qí miàn jī ， yuǎn yuǎn wú fǎ yǔ yí gè jiè miàn xiàng bǐ ， dàn yě shì xiāng dāng liáo kuò dì ， shuō chéng shì yī xiǎo qiān shì jiè ， jué duì bù suàn kuā zhāng le shén me 。
所谓的灵波谷，其实是一名字，并不是说他们此行的目的地，就只是在一小小的山谷里，虽然其面积，远远无法与一个界面相比，但也是相当辽阔地，说成是一小千世界，绝对不算夸张了什么。
The Spirit Wave Valley was just a name; they weren't merely heading to a small valley. Although its area couldn’t compare to an entire plane, it was still vast enough to be called a minor world.
cǐ shí ， lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， yī piàn cāng máng de dà shān yìng rù le yǎn lián lǐ ， shān shì xióng qí ， mián yán qǐ fú ， yán shēn xiàng jí yuǎn zhī chù 。
此时，林轩眼睛微眯，一片苍茫的大山映入了眼帘里，山势雄奇，绵延起伏，延伸像极远之处。
At this moment, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, and the vast mountains appeared before him. The mountain range was magnificent, stretching far into the distance.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， qí kě pà chéng dù ， sī háo bù xià yú dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， rán ér què yī wú suǒ dé ， fāng yuán shí wàn lǐ ， bìng bú jiàn xiū shì de zōng jì 。
林轩将神识放出，其可怕程度，丝毫不下于渡劫级别的老怪物，然而却一无所得，方圆十万里，并不见修士的踪迹。
Lin Xuan released his divine sense; its terrifying power was no less than that of a Tribulation Transcending old monster. However, he found nothing within a hundred miles in every direction—no trace of cultivators.
zhè zài yí cì zhèng míng liǎo líng bō gǔ miàn jī liáo kuò ， tóng shí yě shuō míng tā men měi gè rén bèi chuán sòng jìn lái de dì diǎn shì jí wéi fēn sàn de 。
这再一次证明了灵波谷面积辽阔，同时也说明他们每个人被传送进来的地点是极为分散的。
This once again proved how vast the Spirit Wave Valley was and indicated that they were scattered at different locations upon arrival.
suí hòu lín xuān dī xià tou lú 。
随后林轩低下头颅。
Lin Xuan lowered his head.
jiù zài tā jiǎo xià bù yuǎn zhī chù ， yǒu yī zhū pǔ pǔ tōng tōng de zhí wù ， kāi zhe dàn huáng sè de xiǎo huā 。
就在他脚下不远之处，有一株普普通通的植物，开着淡黄sè的小花。
Not far from where he stood, there was an ordinary plant with small yellow flowers.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn méi yǒu rèn hé xī qí ， dàn lín xuān què yī yǎn rèn chū le tā de lái lì 。
表面上看没有任何稀奇，但林轩却一眼认出了牠的来历。
On the surface, it seemed unremarkable, but Lin Xuan recognized its origin immediately.
suō yī cǎo ！
蓑衣草！
Cape Mistletoe!
zhè bìng bú shì shén me liǎo bù qǐ de líng wù ， dàn duì yú yuán yīng jí bié de xiū xiān zhě hái shì dà yǒu yòng tú ， zì jǐ cái chuán sòng chū lái ， suí suí biàn biàn jiù néng kàn jiàn ， líng bō gǔ guǒ rán bù sú 。
这并不是什么了不起的灵物，但对于元婴级别的修仙者还是大有用途，自己才传送出来，随随便便就能看见，灵波谷果然不俗。
This wasn't a remarkable spirit object, but for aninfant-level cultivator, it had significant uses. Just by appearing here, he could see it casually; the Spirit Wave Valley was indeed impressive.
lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， gǎn shòu zhe tiān dì jiān chōng pèi de líng lì ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng shí fēn mǎn yì 。
林轩深深呼吸，感受着天地间充沛的灵力，脸上的表情十分满意。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, feeling the abundant spiritual energy in the air, his expression very satisfied.
tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu 。
踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫。
Finding a suitable place to advance wasn't easy, and now it came effortlessly.
lín xuān ruò bù xiǎng jìn zhè líng bō gǔ ， qū qū yī qīng yán zūn zhě zì rán shì ná tā wú kě nài hé ， dàn lín xuān què lìng yǒu yī fān dǎ suàn 。
林轩若不想进这灵波谷，区区一青颜尊者自然是拿他无可奈何，但林轩却另有一番打算。
If Lin Xuan didn’t want to enter the Spirit Wave Valley, the Venerable Green Face would have no way to deal with him. But he had another plan.
zì jǐ xiǎng yào jìn jiē dào dù jié qī ， què yì zhí zhǎo bú dào hé shì de líng dì ， zhè líng bō gǔ ， huì bú huì shì shàng tiān sòng gěi zì jǐ de lǐ wù 。
自己想要进阶到渡劫期，却一直找不到合适的灵地，这灵波谷，会不会是上天送给自己的礼物。
He wanted to advance to Tribulation Transcending but couldn’t find an appropriate spiritual land. Could this Spirit Wave Valley be a gift from heaven?
bì jìng ， gāi gǔ de lái lì suī rán bù qīng chǔ ， dàn jì rán tiān cái dì bǎo ， gè zhǒng líng yào yuǎn bǐ wài miàn duō ， nà huán jìng kěn dìng bù cuò ， bì jìng ， zhǐ yǒu chōng yù de líng qì ， cái shì hé líng yào shēng zhǎng de 。
毕竟，该谷的来历虽然不清楚，但既然天材地宝，各种灵药远比外面多，那环境肯定不错，毕竟，只有充裕的灵气，才适合灵药生长的。
After all, although its origin was unclear, given that there were more heavenly treasures and various spirit herbs here than outside, the environment must be good. Only abundant spiritual energy could support the growth of spirit herbs.
lín xuān jī hū kě yǐ kěn dìng ， zì jǐ néng zài nà lǐ ， zhǎo dào hé shì de líng dì ， yǐ gōng zì jǐ jìn jí 。
林轩几乎可以肯定，自己能在那里，找到合适的灵地，以供自己晋级。
Lin Xuan almost felt certain he would find a suitable place to advance in this valley.
gèng miào de shì ， líng bō gǔ zhōng méi yǒu bié de xiū xiān zhě ， yì bǎi tiān hòu ， yǔ zì jǐ yì qǐ lái de nà xiē jiā huo ， yě huì quán bù lí kāi le ， huàn jù huà shuō ， zì jǐ zài zhè lǐ jìn jí ， jiù bù yòng dān xīn yǒu rén dǎ rǎo huò shì bù lì ， bì jìng dāng nián yōu míng àn wáng xiǎng yào jìn rù zhè lǐ ， jí biàn dòng yòng le lǐng yù ， zuì hòu yě shì yí gè shī bài de jié jú 。( wèi wán dài xù 。 rú guǒ nín xǐ huān zhè bù zuò pǐn ，。)
更妙的是，灵波谷中没有别的修仙者，一百天后，与自己一起来的那些家伙，也会全部离开了，换句话说，自己在这里晋级，就不用担心有人打扰或是不利，毕竟当年幽冥暗王想要进入这里，即便动用了领域，最后也是一个失败的结局。(未完待续。如果您喜欢这部作品，。)
Even better, no other cultivators resided in the Spirit Wave Valley. After 100 days, those who came with him would all leave. In other words, advancing here wouldn’t be disturbed or hindered; after all, even when Yumen Dark King tried to enter, despite using his domain, it ended in failure. (To be continued.) If you like this work, please continue reading.
"Friend, you went to great lengths to send these juniors into the Spirit Wave Valley. What you seek is merely a simple bracelet. I wonder what secret makes such an important matter for a True Demon Ancestor like yourself."
The old man in green robes could not resist his curiosity and slightly opened his lips, his voice filled with probing.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, feeling the abundant spiritual energy in the air, his expression very satisfied.
Finding a suitable place to advance wasn't easy, and now it came effortlessly.
If Lin Xuan didn’t want to enter the Spirit Wave Valley, the Venerable Green Face would have no way to deal with him. But he had another plan.
He wanted to advance to Tribulation Transcending but couldn’t find an appropriate spiritual land. Could this Spirit Wave Valley be a gift from heaven?
After all, although its origin was unclear, given that there were more heavenly treasures and various spirit herbs here than outside, the environment must be good. Only abundant spiritual energy could support the growth of spirit herbs.
Lin Xuan almost felt certain he would find a suitable place to advance in this valley.

In other words, advancing here wouldn’t be disturbed or hindered; after all, even when Yumen Dark King tried to enter, despite using his domain, it ended in failure. (To be continued.)
