hěn kuài jiù lái dào le hán tán de páng biān 。
很快就来到了寒潭的旁边。
Soon, they arrived near the Cold Spring.
chú le wēn dù bǐ gāng gāng gèng dī ， bìng wú qí tā de bù tuǒ ， ér zhè sī sī hán qì ， yě bèi xiāo èr de hù tǐ líng guāng dǎng zhù ， dào dǐ shì fēn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， yī shēn fǎ lì ， nà shì xiāng dāng níng hòu de 。
除了温度比刚刚更低，并无其他的不妥，而这丝丝寒气，也被萧二的护体灵光挡住，到底是分神级别的修仙者，一身法力，那是相当凝厚的。
The temperature was even lower than before, but there were no other issues. The faint chill was blocked by Xiao Er's protective spirit light. After all, he was a cultivator at the Spirit Dividing realm, and his cultivation power was incredibly dense.
jiàn méi yǒu bié de biàn gù ， xiāo èr sōng le kǒu qì ， suí hòu lüè yī chí yí ， jiù jiāng shén shí fàng le chū qù ， zhè zhōu wéi ruò yǒu shén me bǎo wù ， duō bàn shì zài zhè hán tán lǐ ， jì rán bèi chuán sòng dào cǐ chù ， tā zì rán yào hǎo hǎo tàn xún yī fān le 。
见没有别的变故，萧二松了口气，随后略一迟疑，就将神识放了出去，这周围若有什么宝物，多半是在这寒潭里，既然被传送到此处，他自然要好好探寻一番了。
Seeing that nothing else had changed, Xiao Er let out a sigh of relief. He then hesitated slightly before extending his divine consciousness outward. Most likely, any treasures would be found within this Cold Spring. Since he had been teleported here, he naturally intended to explore thoroughly.
tā de shén shí ， dāng rán wú fǎ yǔ lín xuān xiāng bǐ ， rán ér tàn suǒ yī xià yǎn qián de hán tán ， què fēn háo yě méi yǒu wèn tí ， rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， yì biàn tū qǐ 。
他的神识，当然无法与林轩相比，然而探索一下眼前的寒潭，却分毫也没有问题，然而就在此刻，异变突起。
Of course, his divine consciousness couldn't compare to Lin Xuan's, but exploring the nearby Cold Spring posed no problem. Just as he was about to do so, something unexpected occurred.
yuán běn píng jìng de tán shuǐ ， tū rán chōng tiān ér qǐ 。
原本平静的潭水，突然冲天而起。
The originally calm spring water suddenly shot up into the air.
xuě bái de shuǐ huā jiā zá zhe sī sī de hán qì ， zhòu rán bá gāo le bǎi zhàng yǒu yú 。
雪白的水花夹杂着丝丝的寒气，骤然拔高了百丈有余。
Snow-white water droplets mixed with a faint chill rose over a hundred feet high.
biàn qǐ cāng chǔ ， xiāo èr yě bù yóu de yī dāi ， dàn què suī jīng bù luàn ， tā suī rán cóng wèi jìn guò líng bō gǔ ， dàn guān yú cǐ dì de hǎo chù yǔ xiōng xiǎn ， què yě tīng rén shuō guò 。
变起仓储，萧二也不由得一呆，但却虽惊不乱，他虽然从未进过灵波谷，但关于此地的好处与凶险，却也听人说过。
The sudden change left Xiao Er momentarily stunned, but he remained composed despite his shock. He had heard of this mysterious space's benefits and dangers from others, even though he had never entered the Spirit Wave Valley himself.
zhè shén mì de kōng jiān lǐ shì yǒu tiān cái dì bǎo wú shù ， dàn xiōng xiǎn yě shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。
这神秘的空间里是有天材地宝无数，但凶险也是数不胜数。
There were countless treasures in this mystical realm, but so too were there numerous perils.
fú xī huò suǒ yī ， huò xī fú suǒ fú ， hǎo chù yǔ xiōng xiǎn ， yuán běn jiù shì xiāng shēng xiāng bàn de 。
福兮祸所依，祸兮福所伏，好处与凶险，原本就是相生相伴的。
Misfortune often comes with good fortune, and vice versa. Benefits and dangers coexist.
zuò wèi fēn shén jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， nǎ yí gè bú shì jīng lì xīng fēng xuè yǔ wú shù ， qū qū yì diǎn biàn gù ， yòu zěn me huì xià dé dào tā ne ？
做为分神级别的老怪物，哪一个不是经历腥风血雨无数，区区一点变故，又怎么会吓得到他呢？
As an old monster at the Spirit Dividing realm, Xiao Er had faced countless trials. A minor change like this wouldn't frighten him.
shēn xíng yī shǎn ， tā yǐ jí bù tuì xiàng hòu miàn ， tóng shí xiù páo yī fú ， líng guāng yào mù ， xùn jí yì cháng de jì chū le liǎng jiàn bǎo wù 。
身形一闪，他已疾步退向后面，同时袖袍一拂，灵光耀目，迅疾异常的祭出了两件宝物。
With a swift movement, he retreated behind, simultaneously waving his sleeves to reveal two precious items bathed in brilliant spirit light.
yī bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de dùn pái 。
一巴掌大小的盾牌。
One was a shield about the size of a palm.
hái yǒu yī měi lún měi huàn de bā jiāo xiǎo shàn 。
还有一美轮美奂的芭蕉小扇。
The other was a beautiful banana-shaped fan.
xiāo èr tái shǒu chōng zhe liǎng jiàn bǎo wù yì diǎn ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， nà dùn pái xùn sù biàn dà le qǐ lái ， huà wèi yī dào guāng mù ， jiāng tā quán shēn bāo guǒ 。
萧二抬手冲着两件宝物一点，只见灵光狂闪，那盾牌迅速变大了起来，化为一道光幕，将他全身包裹。
Xiao Er pointed at both items with his hand. The spirit light flashed wildly as the shield rapidly grew larger, forming a light curtain that enveloped him completely.
zhì yú nà bā jiāo shàn ， qǐng kè zhī jiān ， yě biàn dà le shí bèi yǒu yú ， cháo zhe qián miàn yī shàn ， yī dào hēi fēng ， yī tuán bái qì 。 yīng shēng ér chū ， cháo zhe qián miàn kuáng juǎn 。
至于那芭蕉扇，顷刻之间，也变大了十倍有余，朝着前面一扇，一道黑风，一团白气。应声而出，朝着前面狂卷。
As for the banana fan, it expanded tenfold in an instant and swept forward, sending out black wind and white vapor.
zhè hán tán zhōng jū rán yǒu guài wù ， zhè yì diǎn ， què shí shì tā shì xiān méi yǒu xiǎng dào de 。
这寒潭中居然有怪物，这一点，确实是他事先没有想到的。
Indeed, there were monsters within this Cold Spring—a fact Xiao Er hadn't anticipated.
bù guò nà yòu rú hé ？
不过那又如何？
But what did it matter?
guǎn tā shén me guǐ guài yāo zú ， dòng shǒu miè shā jiù xíng le 。
管他什么鬼怪妖族，动手灭杀就行了。
He would deal with any ghost or monster by eliminating them.
tā suī rán zhǐ shì fēn shén chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn duì yú zì jǐ de shí lì ， hái shì xìn xīn shí zú 。
他虽然只是分神初期的修仙者，但对于自己的实力，还是信心十足。
Although he was only at the early Spirit Dividing stage, his confidence in his strength remained unshaken. This banana fan was a powerful treasure!
zhè bā jiāo bǎo shàn ， yě shì yī wēi lì bù fán de bǎo wù ！
这芭蕉宝扇，也是一威力不凡的宝物！
Roar!
áng ！
昂！
As he delivered this move, the snow-white water droplets suddenly splashed to either side.
suí zhe tā yī zhāo dì chū 。 nà xuě bái de shuǐ huā ， tū rán xiàng zhe liǎng cè fēi jiàn 。
随着他一招递出。那雪白的水花，突然像着两侧飞溅。
A seven-to-eight-meter-long centipede emerged from within.
yī tiáo qī bā zhàng zhǎng de wú gōng ， yóu lǐ miàn cuàn le chū lái 。
一条七八丈长的蜈蚣，由里面窜了出来。
This centipede had a snow-white body that seemed carved out of ice and snow, exquisitely transparent. Even more astonishingly, it bore several pairs of snow-white cicada wings on its back.
cǐ wú gōng hún shēn zuò xuě bái sè， fǎng fú bīng diāo yù zuó ， jū rán shì líng lóng tī tòu de ， gèng jiā bù kě sī yì de shì ， tā de bèi shàng ， hái shēng yǒu shù duì xuě bái de chán yì 。
此蜈蚣浑身做雪白sè，仿佛冰雕玉琢，居然是玲珑剔透的，更加不可思议的是，牠的背上，还生有数对雪白的蝉翼。
Centipedes were originally ugly creatures, but this one was exceptionally beautiful.
wú gōng ， yuán shì xíng mào chǒu lòu de yāo chóng 。 rán ér yǎn qián zhè tóu ， què piān piān shì jí wéi měi lì de nà zhǒng 。
蜈蚣，原是形貌丑陋的妖虫。然而眼前这头，却偏偏是极为美丽的那种。
Xiao Er's face turned pale as he muttered in disbelief: "Spirit Crystal Centipede!"
rán ér xiāo èr jiàn le ， què liǎn sè dà biàn 。 nán nán zì yǔ ， shēng yīn chōng mǎn le bù kě sī yì ：“ líng lóng shuāng gōng ！”
然而萧二见了，却脸sè大变。喃喃自语，声音充满了不可思议：“灵珑霜蚣！”
His voice sounded like a dream, yet the fear in his eyes was genuine.
tā de shēng yīn fǎng fú mèng yì ， rán ér nà yǎn zhōng de wèi jù ， què shì huò zhēn jià shí dì
他的声音仿佛梦呓，然而那眼中的畏惧，却是货真价实地
A Spirit Crystal Centipede! For a cultivator of a lower rank, they might not have heard of such a creature. However, Xiao Er, being at the Spirit Dividing realm and having broad knowledge, had read about it in an ancient text.
líng lóng shuāng gōng ， huàn yī míng děng jí shāo dī diǎn de xiū xiān zhě ， kǒng pà zhēn hái méi yǒu tīng guò ， piān piān xiāo èr yě shì fēn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， jiàn shí guǎng bó ， céng jīng zài yī běn shàng gǔ diǎn jí jiàn guò 。
灵珑霜蚣，换一名等级稍低点的修仙者，恐怕真还没有听过，偏偏萧二也是分神级别的修仙者，见识广博，曾经在一本上古典籍见过。
In truth, this Spirit Crystal Centipede inherited true dragon blood.
shuō qǐ lái 。 tā yě shì shàng gǔ yāo chóng de yī zhǒng ， rán ér qí kě pà chéng dù ， què yuǎn fēi yì bān de yāo chóng kě bǐ 。
说起来。牠也是上古妖虫的一种，然而其可怕程度，却远非一般的妖虫可比。
Indeed, it was the direct descendant of a true dragon, with its true dragon essence extremely condensed. Although it hadn't yet reached the True Spirit stage, it could rival old monsters at the early Tribulation Transcending realm.
wú tā ， zhè líng lóng shuāng gōng ， nǎi shì chuán chéng le zhēn lóng xuè mài dì 。
无他，这灵珑霜蚣，乃是传承了真龙血脉地。
This was why Xiao Er's face turned pale. He had kicked over an iron plate; even the esteemed Green Face Patriarch would retreat upon encountering a Spirit Crystal Centipede—how could he provoke such a creature?
méi cuò 。 jiù shì zhēn lóng líng xuè ， ér qiě shì jí wéi chún cuì de nà zhǒng ， líng lóng shuāng gōng kě yǐ shuō ， shì hán shǔ xìng zhēn lóng de zhí xì hòu yì ， suǒ jì chéng de zhēn lóng líng xuè níng hòu yǐ jí 。 qí shí lì suī rán hái méi dào zhēn líng de chéng dù ， dàn jī hū yǐ néng yǔ dù jié chū qī de lǎo guài wù yī jiào cháng duǎn le 。
没错。就是真龙灵血，而且是极为纯粹的那种，灵珑霜蚣可以说，是寒属xìng真龙的直系后裔，所继承的真龙灵血凝厚以极。其实力虽然还没到真灵的程度，但几乎已能与渡劫初期的老怪物一较长短了。
But by now, fleeing was clearly too late.
tīng qǐ lái yǒu xiē lí pǔ ， dàn zhè què shí méi yǒu duō shǎo kuā zhāng zhī chù 。
听起来有些离谱，但这确实没有多少夸张之处。
With a flick of its tail, the Spirit Crystal Centipede expelled a chill from its mouth.
zhè yě jiù nán guài nà xiāo èr huì liǎn sè dà biàn le 。
这也就难怪那萧二会脸sè大变了。
The chill was about as thick as an arm and seemed unremarkable at first glance. However, upon contact with Xiao Er's two treasures, it revealed shocking power.
zhè yī cì ， shì tī dào le tiě bǎn ， líng lóng shuāng gōng zhè zhǒng děng jí de guài wù ， biàn shì qīng yán zūn zhě pèng jiàn le ， yě huì tuì bì sān shè ， qǐ shì zì jǐ néng gòu zhāo rě ？
这一次，是踢倒了铁板，灵珑霜蚣这种等级的怪物，便是青颜尊者碰见了，也会退避三舍，岂是自己能够招惹？
The banana fan's spirit light dimmed, quickly freezing over.
dàn zhè shí hòu xiǎng duǒ ， míng xiǎn yǐ lái bù jí le 。
但这时候想躲，明显已来不及了。
As for the shield-turned-light curtain, it could only resist momentarily before turning into a massive ice sculpture along with Xiao Er.
zhǐ jiàn líng lóng shuāng gōng wěi ba yī bǎi ， yī kǒu hán qì ， cóng zuǐ bā lǐ miàn pēn le chū lái 。
只见灵珑霜蚣尾巴一摆，一口寒气，从嘴巴里面喷了出来。
A Spirit Dividing realm cultivator fell in one move. The reputation of the Spirit Crystal Centipede was indeed justified.
nà hán qì yě bù guò ér bì cū ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， bìng méi yǒu shén me qǐ yǎn zhī chù 。
那寒气也不过儿臂粗，一眼望去，并没有什么起眼之处。
...
rán ér yī yǔ xiāo èr de liǎng yàng bǎo wù jiē chù ， què zhòu rán xiàn chū lìng rén jīng hài de wēi lì le 。
然而一与萧二的两样宝物接触，却骤然现出令人惊骇的威力了。
Xiao Er's misfortune was extreme, but every cultivator who entered the Spirit Wave Valley had their own luck.
bā jiāo shàn líng guāng yī àn ， xùn sù bèi bīng fēng le qǐ lái 。
芭蕉扇灵光一黯，迅速被冰封了起来。
Apart from those few unlucky ones, some were quite fortunate.
zhì yú nà dùn pái suǒ huà guāng mù ， yě bù guò duō dǐ dǎng le shùn xī de gōng fu ， jiù lián tóng xiāo èr yì qǐ ， huà wèi yī jù dà de bīng diāo le 。
至于那盾牌所化光幕，也不过多抵挡了瞬息的功夫，就连同萧二一起，化为一巨大的冰雕了。
Zhong Lin was among them. He looked at the grass before him with immense joy.
táng táng fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， yī zhāo jiù yǔn luò ， líng lóng shuāng gōng hǎo dà de míng qì ， guǒ rán yǒu tā de dào lǐ 。
堂堂分神期修仙者，一招就陨落，灵珑霜蚣好大的名气，果然有他的道理。
"Red Lotus Ginseng Root, ha-ha! I actually encountered such a precious spirit herb right after emerging—truly heaven's favor!"
……
……
Zhong Lin's joy was understandable. The Red Lotus Ginseng Root was crucial for refining the "Mixed Essence Snowy Sky Powder."
xiāo èr de zāo yù gù rán shì dǎo méi yǐ jí ， ér jìn rù líng bō gǔ de xiū shì ， měi gè rén yǒu měi gè rén de yùn qì 。
萧二的遭遇固然是倒霉以极，而进入灵波谷的修士，每个人有每个人的运气。
For cultivators at the Spirit Dividing realm, this powder significantly increased their cultivation power. Unfortunately, the Red Lotus Ginseng Root was rare, while other auxiliary herbs were insignificant.
chú le jí shǎo shù dǎo méi zhě ， yě yǒu yī xiē rén jī yuán bù cuò 。
除了极少数倒霉者，也有一些人机缘不错。
His luck truly was good; he had such a收获 just by entering the valley. Even if he couldn't find the bracelet Green Face Patriarch instructed him to seek, it wouldn't be in vain.
zhōng lín jiù shì qí zhōng yí gè ， cǐ shí ， kàn tā zhuó yǎn qián de cǎo dì ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì kuáng xǐ 。
钟林就是其中一个，此时，看他着眼前的草地，脸上满是狂喜。
Of course, Zhong Lin wasn't the only one with good fortune.
“ hóng lián hé shǒu wū ， hā hā ， lǎo fū jū rán yī chū lái ， jiù yù jiàn le zhè yàng de líng wù ， zhēn shì shàng tiān zhù wǒ 。”
“红莲何首乌，哈哈，老夫居然一出来，就遇见了这样的灵物，真是上天助我。”
In front of a cliff, an old man dressed in black robes looked at the spirit herb resembling ginseng, his face filled with joy.
yě nán guài zhōng lín xīn xǐ ， zhè hóng lián hé shǒu wū ， lái shì liàn zhì “ hùn yuán xuě tiān sàn ” zuì zhòng yào de yī wèi yào cái 。
也难怪钟林欣喜，这红莲何首乌，来是炼制“混元雪天散”最重要的一位药材。
On some cliffside, a woman wearing court attire just picked a flower and smiled brightly.
hùn yuán xuě tiān sàn ， duì yú fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， yǒu zhe jí jiā de zēng jiā fǎ lì de xiào guǒ ， kě xī hóng lián hé shǒu wū nán dé ， zhì yú qí tā de fǔ yào ， zé gēn běn suàn bù liǎo shén me 。
混元雪天散，对于分神期修仙者，有着极佳的增加法力的效果，可惜红莲何首乌难得，至于其他的辅药，则根本算不了什么。
Clearly, these people were fortunate. Upon teleportation, they hadn't encountered danger but instead found valuable treasures.
zì jǐ de yùn qì dàng zhēn bù cuò ， cái gāng yī rù gǔ ， jiù yǒu zhè yàng de shōu huò ， jí shǐ zhǎo bú dào qīng yán zūn zhě fēn fù de shǒu zhuó ， yě suàn bù xū cǐ xíng le 。
自己的运气当真不错，才刚一入谷，就有这样的收获，即使找不到青颜尊者吩咐的手镯，也算不虚此行了。
Of course, luck was intangible, so others could only envy it from afar.
dāng rán ， zhōng lín bú shì wéi yī yùn qì hǎo de xiū xiān zhě 。
当然，钟林不是唯一运气好的修仙者。
But whether one was unlucky or extremely lucky was rare. Most cultivators who emerged were in ordinary locations with neither dangers nor treasures.
zài yī chù duàn yá de qián miàn ， yī zào páo lǎo zhě kàn zhuó yǎn qián xíng sì rén shēn de líng yào ， mǎn liǎn xīn xǐ 。
在一处断崖的前面，一皂袍老者看着眼前形似人参的灵药，满脸欣喜。
Lin Xuan was just another among the masses.
mǒu xuán yá qiào bì ， yī shēn chuān gōng zhuāng de nǚ zǐ gāng gāng cǎi zhāi xià yī duǒ líng huā ， liǎn shàng de xiào yì ， tóng yàng càn làn yǐ jí 。
某悬崖峭壁，一身穿宫装的女子刚刚采摘下一朵灵花，脸上的笑意，同样灿烂以极。
Since he had decided to wait for others to leave before breaking through his bottleneck, Lin Xuan's goal during these hundred days was clear: treasure hunting!
xiǎn rán ， zhè xiē rén dōu jī yuán bù cuò ， yī chuán sòng chū lái ， bù jǐn méi yǒu yù jiàn wēi xiǎn ， fǎn ér shōu huò le jià zhí bù fēi de bǎo wù 。
显然，这些人都机缘不错，一传送出来，不仅没有遇见危险，反而收获了价值不菲的宝物。
The top priority was finding the bracelet Green Face Patriarch instructed him about. If there were other opportunities, he wouldn't mind discovering more treasures.
dāng rán ， yùn qì zhè zhǒng dōng xī ， yuán běn jiù xū wú piāo miǎo yǐ jí ， páng rén xiàn mù ， nà yě shì xiàn mù bù lái de 。
当然，运气这种东西，原本就虚无缥缈以极，旁人羡慕，那也是羡慕不来的。
His wealth was vast, but resources never hurt in cultivation experiences.
dàn bù guǎn shì dǎo méi hái shì yùn qì jí hǎo de jiā huo ， bì jìng dōu shì jí shǎo shù ， dà bù fèn rén bèi chuán sòng chū lái de dì diǎn ， dōu shì yí gè píng píng cháng cháng de suǒ zài 。
但不管是倒霉还是运气极好的家伙，毕竟都是极少数，大部分人被传送出来的地点，都是一个平平常常的所在。
During his search for treasures, he would also pay attention to the spirit land.
jì méi yǒu bǎo wù ， yě bú huì yǒu wēi xiǎn 。
既没有宝物，也不会有危险。
Although the Spirit Wave Valley matched his expectations with excellent spirit veins, different places had varying concentrations of spiritual energy. The closer one broke through or advanced, the better the concentration of spiritual energy. Therefore, Lin Xuan naturally sought out locations with the most outstanding spirit veins. (To be continued.) If you like this work, please support it.
Soon, they arrived near the Cold Spring.
The temperature was even lower than before, but there were no other issues. The faint chill was blocked by Xiao Er's protective spirit light. After all, he was a cultivator at the Spirit Dividing realm, and his cultivation power was incredibly dense.
Seeing that nothing else had changed, Xiao Er let out a sigh of relief. He then hesitated slightly before extending his divine consciousness outward. Most likely, any treasures would be found within this Cold Spring. Since he had been teleported here, he naturally intended to explore thoroughly.
Of course, his divine consciousness couldn't compare to Lin Xuan's, but exploring the nearby Cold Spring posed no problem. Just as he was about to do so, something unexpected occurred.
Boom!
The originally calm spring water suddenly shot up into the air.
Snow-white water droplets mixed with a faint chill rose over a hundred feet high.
The sudden change left Xiao Er momentarily stunned, but he remained composed despite his shock. He had heard of this mysterious space's benefits and dangers from others, even though he had never entered the Spirit Wave Valley himself.
There were countless treasures in this mystical realm, but so too were there numerous perils.
Misfortune often comes with good fortune, and vice versa. Benefits and dangers coexist.
As an old monster at the Spirit Dividing realm, Xiao Er had faced countless trials. A minor change like this wouldn't frighten him.
With a swift movement, he retreated behind, simultaneously waving his sleeves to reveal two precious items bathed in brilliant spirit light.
One was a shield about the size of a palm.
The other was a beautiful banana-shaped fan.
Xiao Er pointed at both items with his hand. The spirit light flashed wildly as the shield rapidly grew larger, forming a light curtain that enveloped him completely.
As for the banana fan, it expanded tenfold in an instant and swept forward, sending out black wind and white vapor.
Indeed, there were monsters within this Cold Spring—a fact Xiao Er hadn't anticipated.
