“ hǎo ， jì rán dà jiā dōu méi yǒu yì yì ， nà wǒ men jiù kuài diǎn dòng shǒu ， shōu qǔ zhè jǐ jiàn bǎo wù ， sú huà shuō yè cháng mèng duō ……”
“好，既然大家都没有异议，那我们就快点动手，收取这几件宝物，俗话说夜长梦多……”
"Alright, since there are no objections from everyone, let's get started and collect these treasures. As they say, a long night breeds many dreams..."
zào páo lǎo zhě chén yín zhe shuō ， ér tā tān lán de mù guāng ， yì zhí jiù méi yǒu lí kāi guò qián miàn de gòng zhuō 。(.)
皂袍老者沉吟着说，而他贪婪的目光，一直就没有离开过前面的供桌。(.)
The robed elder pondered as he spoke, his greedy gaze never leaving the altar in front.
“ dào yǒu suǒ yán ， zhèng hé wǒ yì 。”
“道友所言，正合我意。”
"Friend, your words suit me well."
tián chén xī qīng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
田晨曦轻笑的声音传入耳朵里。
Field Dawn's light laughter entered their ears.
suí hòu cǐ nǚ yě bù chí yí ， yù shǒu yī fú ， jiù jiàn yī dào hóng guāng shǎn guò ， huà wèi yī jié lián ǒu bān de yù bì ， shì huǎn shí jí ， yī bǎ xiàng nà zhú tǒng mú yàng de bǎo bèi lāo qù 。
随后此女也不迟疑，玉手一拂，就见一道红光闪过，化为一截莲藕般的玉臂，似缓实急，一把像那竹筒模样的宝贝捞去。
Following this, the woman did not hesitate; with a flick of her jade hand, a red light flashed and transformed into an arm like lotus roots. Slowly but surely, she reached out to snatch the treasure that resembled a bamboo tube.
zào páo lǎo zhě yòu jīng yòu nù ， méi xiǎng dào duì fāng dòng shǒu qián jū rán bù dǎ bàn shēng zhāo hū ， suī rán sì jiàn bǎo bèi dōu shì xiān tiān zhī wù ， dàn fēi dāo fēi jiàn tài píng cháng le ， ér xiàng zhú tǒng ， yù wǎn yī lèi de qí mén bǎo wù ， yì bān dōu yǒu zhe bù kě sī yì de xiào guǒ 。
皂袍老者又惊又怒，没想到对方动手前居然不打半声招呼，虽然四件宝贝都是先天之物，但飞刀飞剑太平常了，而像竹筒，玉碗一类的奇门宝物，一般都有着不可思议的效果。
The robed elder was both shocked and angry. He hadn't expected his opponent to make such a move without any warning. Although all four treasures were primordial artifacts, ordinary flying knives and swords were common. However, items like this bamboo tube or jade bowl often had incredible effects.
yuán běn tā yě zhǔ yì cǐ bǎo ， méi xiǎng dào bèi duì fāng gěi qiǎng xiān le 。
原本他也属意此宝，没想到被对方给抢先了。
He had originally been interested in this treasure but was now left behind by the other party's swift action.
tā fèn nù zhī yú ， jī hū dōu yǒu le fān liǎn zhī yì ， rán ér yě jǐn jǐn shì xiǎng ér yǐ ， lín xuān yǔ tiě tǎ zūn zhě hái huán shì zài cè ， zhè shí hòu yǔ tián chén xī jiāo wù míng xiǎn shì hěn bù míng zhì de 。
他愤怒之余，几乎都有了翻脸之意，然而也仅仅是想而已，林轩与铁塔尊者还环视在侧，这时候与田晨曦交恶明显是很不明智的。
His anger almost made him turn hostile, but he held back. Lin Xuan and Iron Tower Elder still stood around them; it would be unwise to offend Field Dawn at such a time.
bà le ， cǐ shì yǐ hòu zài tí ， xiàn zài xiān rěn dé yī shí zhī qì 。
罢了，此事以后再提，现在先忍得一时之气。
Well, let’s put off this matter for later. For now, we’ll endure this momentary frustration.
tā àn àn tàn xī ， què yě bù gǎn zài yǒu fēn háo de dān gē yóu yù ， yī yáng shǒu ， yě shì líng guāng dà zuò ， wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， yī wū hēi fà liàng de jù zhǎo jiù chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ ， wǎng qián fāng lāo qù 。
他暗暗叹息，却也不敢再有分毫的耽搁犹豫，一扬手，也是灵光大做，往中间一聚，一乌黑发亮的巨爪就出现在视线里，往前方捞去。
He sighed inwardly but dared not delay any further. With a wave of his hand, a dark and shiny giant claw appeared before him, reaching out towards the center.
dòng zuò kuài jí ， nà jié bái wú xiá de yù wǎn guǒ rán bèi tā zhuā zài le shǒu lǐ 。
动作快极，那洁白无瑕的玉碗果然被他抓在了手里。
The action was incredibly swift; indeed, he managed to grab the pristine jade bowl in his hand.
lìng yī biān ， tián chén xī tóng yàng dé dào le nà zhú tǒng bǎo wù ， yě shì yī liǎn xīn xǐ ， fān lái fù qù de dǎ liàng bù yǐ 。
另一边，田晨曦同样得到了那竹筒宝物，也是一脸欣喜，翻来覆去的打量不已。
On the other side, Field Dawn also obtained the bamboo tube treasure, her face filled with joy as she examined it repeatedly.
xiāng duì yú tā men de xīn jí ， lín xuān yǔ tiě tǎ zūn zhě yī jiù màn bù jīng xīn de zhàn zài yuán dì 。
相对于他们的心急，林轩与铁塔尊者依旧漫不经心的站在原地。
While they were rushing, Lin Xuan and Iron Tower Elder still stood there nonchalantly.
liǎng rén duì shì yī yǎn ， mù guāng jiē yǒu jǐ fēn hào qí 。
两人对视一眼，目光皆有几分好奇。
They exchanged glances, their eyes showing a hint of curiosity.
“ lín dào yǒu hé bì kè qì ， zhè shèng xià de yī dāo yī jiàn ，” tiě tǎ zūn zhě shuǎng lǎng de xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī liǎn háo mài zhī sè。
“林道友何必客气，这剩下的一刀一剑，”铁塔尊者爽朗的笑声传入耳朵，一脸豪迈之sè。
"Friend Lin, no need to be so polite. The remaining knife and sword," the Iron Tower Elder's hearty laughter filled the air, his face full of豪迈.
“ hē hē ， bù jí ， dào yǒu xiān tiāo xuǎn yě shì yī yàng dì 。” lín xuān de shēng yīn yě chōng mǎn le sǎ tuō zhī yì 。
“呵呵，不急，道友先挑选也是一样地。”林轩的声音也充满了洒脱之意。
"Haha, it doesn't matter; you can choose first as well." Lin Xuan’s voice was also carefree.
“ hái shì dào yǒu xiān qǔ 。”
“还是道友先取。”
"Still, let Friend take them first."
“ bù ， gé xià xiān xuǎn yě shì yī yàng dì 。”
“不，阁下先选也是一样地。”
"No, let the esteemed one choose first."
jiē xià lái ， liǎng rén jiù zhè yàng nǐ tuī guò lái 。 wǒ cí guò qù ， fǎng fú hǎo yǒu qǐng kè chī fàn yì bān de kè qì wú bǐ 。
接下来，两人就这样你推过来。我辞过去，仿佛好友请客吃饭一般的客气无比。
In the end, they pushed and pulled with each other like old friends sharing a meal, their politeness almost touching.
tián chén xī yǔ zào páo lǎo zhě kàn dé chēng mù jié shé ， ruò bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， shuō shén me tā men yě bú huì xiāng xìn de ， yào zhī dào ， liǎng rén tuī lái tuī qù de kě bú shì yì bān de lā jī ， nà shì xiān tiān líng bǎo a ！
田晨曦与皂袍老者看得瞠目结舌，若不是亲眼目睹，说什么他们也不会相信的，要知道，两人推来推去的可不是一般的垃圾，那是先天灵宝啊！
Field Dawn and the robed elder were stunned. They couldn't believe it even if someone told them. After all, what they were pushing for weren’t mere trash; these were primordial treasures!
fàng yǎn sān jiè ， yě shì fèng máo lín jiǎo 。 duō shǎo dù jié qī dà néng yù qiú yī jiàn ér bù kě dé ， yōng yǒu tā de wú bù shì wēi zhèn tiān xià de chāo jí qiáng zhě 。
放眼三界，也是凤毛麟角。多少渡劫期大能yù求一见而不可得，拥有牠的无不是威震天下的超级强者。
Across the entire Three Realms, such items were rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns. Many powerful beings who had sought them in vain now found themselves with these super-strong treasures.
ruò bú shì yǒu suǒ gù jì ， tā men hèn bù dé jiāng zhè bǎo bèi yī gǔ nǎo shōu jìn zì jǐ de huái lǐ ， zhè liǎng gè rén jū rán zài zhè lǐ tuī guò lái tuī guò qù ， nán bù chéng shì nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí ？
若不是有所顾忌，他们恨不得将这宝贝一股脑收进自己的怀里，这两个人居然在这里推过来推过去，难不成是脑袋有问题？
If not for their reservations, they would have eagerly taken both treasures into their possession. These two people were still pushing and pulling, could it be that something was wrong with their minds?
jīng è zhī yú ， liǎng rén yě bù yóu de tān niàn dà qǐ ， tā men suī rán hù xiāng gù jì ， dàn xiān tiān líng bǎo shì zú yǐ ràng tā men qù mào yī mào xiǎn dì 。
惊愕之余，两人也不由得贪念大起，他们虽然互相顾忌，但先天灵宝是足以让他们去冒一冒险地。
Amidst the shock, their greed also grew. Despite mutual caution, the primordial treasures were enough to make them take a risk.
“ hēi hēi ， liǎng rén dào yǒu rú cǐ kè qì 。 bù rú sòng yǔ lǎo fū rú hé ？”
“嘿嘿，两人道友如此客气。不如送与老夫如何？”
"Ha ha, if the two friends are so polite, why not give these to me?"
zào páo lǎo zhě gān xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu zhǐ jiàn tā shǒu yī tái ， sì hū xiǎng yào shōu qǔ nà liǎng jiàn bǎo wù 。
皂袍老者干笑的声音传入耳朵，随后只见他手一抬，似乎想要收取那两件宝物。
The robed elder's dry laughter filled the air as he raised his hand, seemingly wanting to collect both treasures.
rán ér piān piān jiù zài zhè shí 。 yì biàn tū qǐ 。
然而偏偏就在这时。异变突起。
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.
“ pū ”“ pū ” liǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yuán běn bèi tián chén xī ， zào páo lǎo zhě ná zài shǒu zhōng de zhú tǒng yǔ yù wǎn liǎng jiàn bǎo wù jū rán xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。
“噗”“噗”两声传入耳朵，原本被田晨曦，皂袍老者拿在手中的竹筒与玉碗两件宝物居然消失不见了。
"Pfft," "Pfft," two sounds entered their ears. The bamboo tube and jade bowl in Field Dawn’s and the robed elder’s hands suddenly vanished.
bù ， yě bìng fēi xiāo shī ， zhèng què de shuō ， shì liǎng jiàn bǎo bèi ， tū rán huà chéng le yī tuán hēi qì ， suí hòu yóu shǒu zhǎng mò rù le liǎng rén de shēn tǐ lǐ 。
不，也并非消失，正确的说，是两件宝贝，突然化成了一团黑气，随后由手掌没入了两人的身体里。
No, they didn’t disappear; rather, the two treasures transformed into a black mist, which then entered their bodies through their palms.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
"What... What is this?"
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， ér zhè yì wài biàn gù 。 gèng ràng tián chén xī yǔ zào páo lǎo zhě yòu jīng yòu nù ， bǎo bèi ， bǎo bèi dào nǎ lǐ qù le ？
林轩瞳孔微缩，而这意外变故。更让田晨曦与皂袍老者又惊又怒，宝贝，宝贝到哪里去了？
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. This unexpected turn of events left both Field Dawn and the robed elder shocked and angry. Where were those treasures?
rán ér zhè ge niàn tou jǐn jǐn shì yī shǎn ér guò ， hěn kuài tā men jiù gù bù shàng bǎo wù 。
然而这个念头仅仅是一闪而过，很快他们就顾不上宝物。
Their thoughts only lasted for an instant before they focused on the danger at hand. After all, even if primordial treasures were enviable, one needed to be alive to enjoy them.
bì jìng xiān tiān líng bǎo zài lìng rén xiàn mù ， yě yào yǒu mìng xiǎng yòng cái kě yǐ de 。
毕竟先天灵宝再令人羡慕，也要有命享用才可以的。
A black mist appeared on their hands and quickly spread throughout their bodies.
yī lǚ hēi qì zài tā men shǒu shàng fú xiàn ér chū 。 bìng yán zhe shǒu zhǎng ， xùn sù xiàng zhe quán shēn shàng xià màn yán 。
一缕黑气在他们手上浮现而出。并沿着手掌，迅速向着全身上下蔓延。
"Poison, no good, this thing has剧毒."
“ dú ， bù hǎo ， zhè dōng xī yǒu jù dú 。”
“毒，不好，这东西有剧毒。”
The robed elder's terrified voice echoed in their ears as Field Dawn’s face turned pale. She quickly took out a bottle from her storage bracelet, pulled the stopper, and swallowed an antidote pill.
zào páo lǎo zhě jīng kǒng de jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tián chén xī yě shì huā róng shī sè。 yù shǒu yī fān ， yí gè píng zi yóu chǔ wù dài zhōng qǔ le chū lái 。
皂袍老者惊恐的叫声传入耳朵，田晨曦也是花容失sè。玉手一翻，一个瓶子由储物袋中取了出来。
The black mist's spreading slowed down, and Field Dawn heaved a sigh of relief. However, just moments later, the mist surged upwards even faster, as if the antidote she had taken was feeding the poison instead.
tā dòng zuò xùn jí de bá kāi píng sāi ， jiāng jiě dú de yào wán yǎng tóu tūn luò jìn dǔ zi lǐ miàn 。
她动作迅疾的拔开瓶塞，将解毒的药丸仰头吞落进肚子里面。
"This... This is impossible!"
nà hēi qì màn yán de sù dù yī huǎn ， tián chén xī sōng le kǒu qì ， dàn jǐn jǐn guò le xū yú ， nà hēi qì yǐ gèng kuài de sù dù wǎng shàng cuàn ， fǎng fú gāng gāng suǒ fú xià de jiě dú yào wán ， shì zài gěi dú yào jìn bǔ yì bān 。
那黑气蔓延的速度一缓，田晨曦松了口气，但仅仅过了须臾，那黑气以更快的速度往上窜，仿佛刚刚所服下的解毒药丸，是在给毒药进补一般。
Field Dawn’s expression crumbled in shock. The "Rose Snow Ginseng Pill" she had taken was a divine gift from her master Fairy Yang Tong, known for its ability to neutralize all poisons. Even rare toxins couldn’t completely be removed but could alleviate symptoms. How...
“ zhè …… zhè zěn me kě néng ！”
“这……这怎么可能！”
She was truly panicked now; perhaps she would die here?
tián chén xī dà jīng shī sè， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng dōu yào bēng kuì le ， gāng cái tā suǒ fú xià de “ méi guī xuě cān wán ” shì shī zūn yáng tóng xiān zi cì xià de líng wù ， shàn jiě bǎi dú 。
田晨曦大惊失sè，脸上的表情都要崩溃了，刚才她所服下的“玫瑰雪参丸”是师尊杨彤仙子赐下的灵物，善解百毒。
Misfortune and fortune are interdependent. Just moments ago, she had been elated at obtaining a primordial treasure, even dreaming of ascending to the heavens and dominating the Three Realms...
jí shǐ ǒu ěr yǒu yī xiē qí dú bù néng wán quán jiě chú ， yě yǒu zhe huǎn jiě zhèng zhuàng de xiào guǒ ， zěn me ……
即使偶尔有一些奇毒不能完全解除，也有着缓解症状的效果，怎么……
Now, in an instant, she faced the prospect of dying from poisoning.
zhè xià tā shì zhēn de huāng le ， nán dào zì jǐ jū rán huì yǔn luò zài zhè lǐ me ？
这下她是真的慌了，难道自己居然会陨落在这里么？
Life was like a play, but this twist was too much for her. Her heart was filled with pain, yet there was nothing she could do as black mist enveloped her body. She finally closed her eyes in agony.
fú xī huò suǒ yī ， huò xī fú suǒ fú ， qián yī kè ， tā hái yīn wèi dé dào xiān tiān líng bǎo ， yì qì fēng fā ， shèn zhì chōng jǐng zì jǐ jìn jiē dù jié ， zòng héng sān jiè ……
福兮祸所依，祸兮福所伏，前一刻，她还因为得到先天灵宝，意气风发，甚至憧憬自己进阶渡劫，纵横三界……
Primordial treasures were just a dream; the cultivation world demanded no room for carelessness. Field Dawn’s fate mirrored that of the robed elder; both faced their inevitable demise.
méi xiǎng dào zhuǎn shùn jiān ， què miàn lín zhe yào dú fā yǔn luò de jié jú 。
没想到转瞬间，却面临着要毒发陨落的结局。
Lin Xuan remained silent, though he had long seen life and death in the harsh cultivation world. The sudden loss of a vibrant life still struck him with some impact.
rén shēng rú xì ， dàn zhè wèi miǎn yě tài guò qū zhé le yī xiē ， tā de xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le tòng kǔ ， dàn què huí tiān fá shù ， dāng hún shēn shàng xià dōu bèi hēi qì bāo guǒ ， tā zhōng yú tòng kǔ bì shàng le shuāng mù 。
人生如戏，但这未免也太过曲折了一些，她的心中充满了痛苦，但却回天乏术，当浑身上下都被黑气包裹，她终于痛苦闭上了双目。
It wasn’t his fault; everything was their own choice. At such moments, even if he advised them, they wouldn’t listen.
xiān tiān líng bǎo ， huáng liáng yī mèng ， xiū xiān jiè róng bù dé bàn diǎn shū hū ， tián chén xī rú cǐ ， nà zào páo lǎo zhě yòu hé cháng bú shì ， tā tóng yàng táo bù tuō yǔn luò de jié jú 。
先天灵宝，黄粱一梦，修仙界容不得半点疏忽，田晨曦如此，那皂袍老者又何尝不是，他同样逃不脱陨落的结局。
Turning to look at the other survivors beside him, Lin Xuan saw the bald man’s face devoid of emotion, as if he had anticipated this all along.
lín xuān mò mò wú yǔ ， suī rán zài cán kù de xiū xiān jiè ， tā zǎo yǐ kān guǎn le shēng lí sǐ bié ， rán ér qián yī kè hái xiān huó de shēng mìng ， tū rán shì qù ， duō shǎo hái shì gěi tā dài lái yī xiē chōng jī 。
林轩默默无语，虽然在残酷的修仙界，他早已看管了生离死别，然而前一刻还鲜活的生命，突然逝去，多少还是给他带来一些冲击。
Noticing Lin Xuan's gaze, the bald man turned back, their eyes meeting in the air without any concealment.
zhǐ shì zhè bù guài zì jǐ ， yī qiè dōu shì tā men zì jǐ de xuǎn zé ， nà zhǒng shí kè ， zì jǐ jiù suàn kāi kǒu xiāng quàn ， tā men yě bú huì tīng dì 。
只是这不怪自己，一切都是他们自己的选择，那种时刻，自己就算开口相劝，他们也不会听地。
"Seems like you knew everything from the start. Could it be that you set up a trap?" Lin Xuan spoke calmly, his voice devoid of emotion, leaving no clue to his feelings.
lín xuān zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， kàn xiàng páng biān yǔ zì jǐ yī yàng de xìng cún zhě 。
林轩转过头颅，看像旁边与自己一样的幸存者。
"A trap? Of course not; I am here for the first time. How could I have set up such a trap? Everything is just their own greed."
nà guāng tóu dà hàn de liǎn shàng mǎn shì mò rán zhī sè， fǎng fú zhè yī qiè tā zǎo yǐ yǒu suǒ yù liào shì de 。
那光头大汉的脸上满是漠然之sè，仿佛这一切他早已有所预料似的。
The Iron Tower Elder shook his head, his voice equally indifferent. Lin Xuan was certain he wasn’t lying.
fǎng fú chá jué dào lín xuān de zhù shì ， tā yě huí guò tóu ， liǎng rén de mù guāng ， zài bàn kōng zhōng háo wú zhē yǎn de jiāo fēng 。
仿佛察觉到林轩的注视，他也回过头，两人的目光，在半空中毫无遮掩的交锋。
To be fair, what he said made sense, but how many people could resist the allure of primordial treasures?
“ zhè yī qiè ， gé xià sì hū zǎo jiù qīng chǔ ， nán dào shuō ， shì nǐ shè xià de quān tào me ？” lín xuān dàn dàn de kāi kǒu le ， shēng yīn yǔ qì ， yī jiù shì sī háo gǎn qíng yě wú ， ràng rén wú cóng zhuó mó tā de xǐ nù 。
“这一切，阁下似乎早就清楚，难道说，是你设下的圈套么？”林轩淡淡的开口了，声音语气，依旧是丝毫感情也无，让人无从琢磨他的喜怒。
At this moment, the other party spoke again: "You, esteemed one, are truly remarkable. This Moon Illusion Poison is unparalleled in the world. I thought you would act like those fools and wouldn’t need me to do anything. Did someone tell you about the wonders of this place?"
“ quān tào ， zì rán bú shì ， běn zūn yě shì dì yī cì lái zhè lǐ ， nǎ ér kě néng shè xià quān tào zuò zhè zhǒng shì ， yī qiè dōu shì tā men zì jǐ tān xīn ér yǐ 。”
“圈套，自然不是，本尊也是第一次来这里，哪儿可能设下圈套做这种事，一切都是他们自己贪心而已。”
The Iron Tower Elder's voice held a hint of doubt.
tiě tǎ zūn zhě yáo le yáo tóu ， shēng yīn yě hěn dàn mò ， dàn lín xuān kě yǐ kěn dìng ， tā méi yǒu sā huǎng de 。
铁塔尊者摇了摇头，声音也很淡漠，但林轩可以肯定，他没有撒谎的。

"Still, let Friend take them first."
"No, let the esteemed one choose first."

In the end, they pushed and pulled with each other like old friends sharing a meal, their politeness almost touching.
