lín xuān xiàng lái bú shì shén me jiāo ào zì mǎn de xiū xiān zhě ， yáng tóng xiān zi yǒu yì jiāo hǎo ， lín xuān dāng rán shì tóu qí suǒ hào ， bì jìng zhè duì zì jǐ lái shuō ， tóng yàng yǒu bǎi lì ér wú yī hài de xuǎn zé 。
林轩向来不是什么骄傲自满的修仙者，杨彤仙子有意交好，林轩当然是投其所好，毕竟这对自己来说，同样有百利而无一害的选择。
Lin Xuan was never a proud cultivator. When Fairy Yang Tong showed interest in befriending him, he naturally complied, as it was beneficial for him with no drawbacks.
liǎng rén yán tán piàn kè ， hěn kuài yě jiù jiàn jiàn shú luò qǐ lái le 。
两人言谈片刻，很快也就渐渐熟络起来了。
After a brief conversation, the two quickly became more familiar.
yáng tóng xiān zi tū rán yī zhèn qīng ké ， què shì tǐ nèi de shāng shì fā zuò ， cǐ nǚ máng shēn shēn hū xī ， hún shēn líng máng dà qǐ ， cái jiāng hún shēn nà bù shì de gǎn jué yā le xià qù 。
杨彤仙子突然一阵轻咳，却是体内的伤势发作，此女忙深深呼吸，浑身灵芒大起，才将浑身那不适的感觉压了下去。
Fairy Yang Tong suddenly coughed lightly. It turned out that her injuries were flaring up. She hurriedly took deep breaths and the luminous aura around her body surged, suppressing the discomfort she felt.
“ xiān zi hái hǎo ba ！”
“仙子还好吧！”
"How are you feeling, Fairy?"
“ ràng dào yǒu jiàn xiào le ， zhè shāng tán bù shàng zhì mìng ， dàn yě bù néng tài guò dān gē ， qiè shēn dé xún mì líng dì ， hǎo hǎo xiū yǎng shēng xī ， zhǐ néng zàn qiě shī péi le 。” yáng tóng xiān zi tàn le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn qiàn rán zhī yì 。
“让道友见笑了，这伤谈不上致命，但也不能太过耽搁，妾身得寻觅灵地，好好休养生息，只能暂且失陪了。”杨彤仙子叹了口气，脸上露出几分歉然之意。
"I apologize for troubling you. This injury isn't life-threatening, but it can't be delayed any longer. I must find a place of spiritual energy to recuperate properly. I must take my leave now," said Fairy Yang Tong with a sigh and an apologetic expression on her face.
“ xiān zi shuō nǎ lǐ huà lái ， liáo shāng yào jǐn 。”
“仙子说哪里话来，疗伤要紧。”
"Don't worry about it. Healing is the priority."
lín xuān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， yǐ tā de yǎn lì ， zì rán míng bái duì fāng xiàn zài de jìng kuàng què rán bù lì ， zhì shǎo bù yí jì xù dān gē xià qù 。
林轩摆了摆手，以他的眼力，自然明白对方现在的境况确然不利，至少不宜继续耽搁下去。
Lin Xuan waved his hand. With his keen eyes, he knew that the current situation for the other party was indeed unfavorable, at least not suitable to be delayed any longer.
“ lín dào yǒu ， dà ēn bù yán xiè ， ruò yǒu xián xiá ， kě lái míng xī gé zuò kè ， ràng běn gōng yī jǐn dì zhǔ zhī yì 。”
“林道友，大恩不言谢，若有闲暇，可来明溪阁做客，让本宫一尽地主之谊。”
"Fairy Lin, I can't repay your kindness. If you have time, come to Bright Stream Pavilion and let me entertain you as a host."
“ hǎo ， qīng shān bù gǎi ， lǜ shuǐ cháng liú ， xiān zi hòu huì yǒu qī ！”
“好，青山不改，绿水长流，仙子后会有期！”
"Very well. The green mountains remain unchanged, while the clear waters flow endlessly. We will meet again!"
lín xuān yě bào quán xíng le yī lǐ 。
林轩也抱拳行了一礼。
Lin Xuan bowed in return.
suí hòu biàn jiàn cǐ nǚ hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， huà wèi yī dào qīng hóng fēi xiàng tiān jì ， jǐ gè shǎn shuò ， jiù yǐ xiāo shī le zōng jì 。
随后便见此女浑身青芒大起，化为一道青虹飞向天际，几个闪烁，就已消失了踪迹。
Then he saw the woman's body emit a bright blue light, transforming into a streak of blue light that soared towards the sky, vanishing within moments.
lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què yīn mái xià lái ， bù fù gāng cái qīng sōng de shén tài 。
林轩脸上的表情却yīn霾下来，不复刚才轻松的神态。
Lin Xuan's expression turned gloomy, no longer as relaxed as before.
dāng rán bú shì yīn wèi yáng tóng cǐ nǚ ， ér shì sī liáng zhe jīn hòu kě néng yù jiàn de nán tí 。
当然不是因为杨彤此女，而是思量着今后可能遇见的难题。
Of course, it wasn't because of Fairy Yang Tong. He was thinking about future challenges he might face.
suī rán yǐ qián yě céng yǔ tā jiāo wù ， dàn zhè yī cì ， què shì chè dǐ jiāng cǐ nǚ dé zuì diào le 。
虽然以前也曾与她交恶，但这一次，却是彻底将此女得罪掉了。
Although they had been enemies in the past, this time she had been thoroughly offended by him.
jiù suàn shì zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， liàn zhì yī jù dù jié jí bié de huà shēn yě pǒ wèi bù yì ， rú jīn huǐ zài zì jǐ de shǒu lǐ ， cǐ nǚ rú hé yàn dé xià zhè kǒu qì 。
就算是真魔始祖，炼制一具渡劫级别的化身也颇为不易，如今毁在自己的手里，此女如何咽得下这口气。
Even for a True Demon Ancestor to create a body capable of withstanding an elemental trial was no easy feat. Now that it had been destroyed by his hands, how could she bear to let go of her anger?
suī shuō yǐ tā de shēn fèn ， běn tǐ xiǎng lái líng jiè bù tài róng yì ， dàn bìng bù yì wèi zhe ， tā jiù méi yǒu bàn fǎ ， gěi zì jǐ zào chéng má fán yǔ wēi xiǎn le 。
虽说以她的身份，本体想来灵界不太容易，但并不意味着，她就没有办法，给自己造成麻烦与危险了。
While her status made it unlikely for her main body to easily enter the spirit world, this didn't mean she couldn't cause trouble and danger for him.
zǒng zhī zhè yī cì chè dǐ dé zuì bīng pò cǐ nǚ ， kěn dìng shì hòu huàn wú qióng 。
总之这一次彻底得罪冰魄此女，肯定是后患无穷。
In any case, offending Ice Soul this time would surely bring endless troubles in the future.
bù guò dāng shí méi dé xuǎn zé ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān suī ào nǎo bù yǐ 。 dàn yě bìng méi yǒu hòu huǐ zhī yì 。
不过当时没得选择，所以林轩虽懊恼不已。但也并没有后悔之意。
However, there was no choice at the moment. So Lin Xuan felt remorse but not regret.
hǎo zài bìng bú shì bái máng huó ， rú hé lí kāi shī luò jiè miàn de fāng fǎ ， zǒng suàn shì zhǎo dào le 。
好在并不是白忙活，如何离开失落界面的方法，总算是找到了。
---
lín xuān huí yì zhe sōu hún suǒ de dào de xiàn suǒ ， qí zhōng yǒu yòng de dōng xī bìng bù duō ， dàn zhè yī tiáo 。 zǒng suàn méi yǒu bèi duì fāng mǒ chú 。
林轩回忆着搜魂所得到的线索，其中有用的东西并不多，但这一条。总算没有被对方抹除。
Fortunately, he wasn’t working in vain. He had finally found a way to leave the Lost Plane.
zhè shī luò de jiè miàn huán jìng qí tè 。 jiè miàn zhī lì yě yǔ qí tā dì fāng dà bù xiāng tóng ， gù ér jí biàn shì dù jié jí bié de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， yě nán yǐ tú shǒu sī liè xū kōng ， pò jiè zhū yī lèi de bǎo wù 。 tóng yàng shì nán yǐ fā huī zuò yòng 。
这失落的界面环境奇特。界面之力也与其他地方大不相同，故而即便是渡劫级别的大能修仙者，也难以徒手撕裂虚空，破界珠一类的宝物。同样是难以发挥作用。
Recalling the clues obtained from soul searching, there weren't many useful ones, but this one hadn't been erased by the other party.
hǎo zài tiān wú jué rén zhī lù ， zhè wèi bīng pò shèng zǔ ， shí zài shì yī cái zhì shuāng jué de rén wù ， tā fèi jǐn xīn kǔ ， hái shì yán jiū chū rú hé cóng cǐ jiè miàn lí kāi de fāng fǎ le 。
好在天无绝人之路，这位冰魄圣祖，实在是一才智双绝的人物，她费尽辛苦，还是研究出如何从此界面离开的方法了。
The environment of the Lost Plane was peculiar, and its power differed greatly from elsewhere. Even for high-ranking cultivators capable of withstanding an elemental trial, it was difficult to tear through space without a special item like the Boundary-Breaking Pearl.
zhèn fǎ 。 pò jiè zhū ， hái yǒu dù jié qī dà néng sī liè xū kōng de běn shì quē yī bù kě 。
阵法。破界珠，还有渡劫期大能撕裂虚空的本事缺一不可。
Fortunately, there was always a way out. This Ice Soul Ancestor was indeed a genius in both intellect and talent. After much effort, she had figured out how to leave this plane.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng qìng xìng yǐ jí 。
想到这里，林轩心中庆幸以极。
The array, the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, and the ability of high-ranking cultivators to tear through space were all necessary.
pò jiè zhū ， bīng pò yuán běn yǒu 。
破界珠，冰魄原本有。
Thinking about it, Lin Xuan felt extremely relieved.
rán ér cǐ nǚ yǎn jiàn yào bèi zì jǐ shēng qín huó zhuō ， jìng yī hěn xīn ， jiāng cǐ bǎo lián tóng chǔ wù dài yì qǐ huǐ le 。
然而此女眼见要被自己生擒活捉，竟一狠心，将此宝连同储物袋一起毁了。
Ice Soul originally possessed the Boundary-Breaking Pearl.
hǎo zài tiān wú jué rén zhī lù ， shàng cǐ gǔ mó jiè zhī lǚ ， lín xuān huò dé le xuě huā shèng zǔ suǒ yí liú xià lái de bǎo wù ， lǐ miàn jiù yǒu pò jiè zhū 。
好在天无绝人之路，上此古魔界之旅，林轩获得了雪花圣祖所遗留下来的宝物，里面就有破界珠。
However, seeing that he was about to capture her alive, she destroyed both the pearl and her storage bracelet in one fell swoop.
ér zì jǐ rú jīn yǐ shì dù jié jí bié de dà néng xiū xiān zhě 。 pò suì xū kōng de néng lì kěn dìng shì yǒu de 。
而自己如今已是渡劫级别的大能修仙者。破碎虚空的能力肯定是有的。
Fortunately, there was always a way out. On this journey through ancient demon lands, Lin Xuan had obtained the treasures left by Snowflake Ancestor, including the Boundary-Breaking Pearl.
sān gè tiáo jiàn ， zì jǐ yǐ mǎn zú le qí zhōng de liǎng gè ， wéi yī shèng xià de ， jiù shì hái xū yào yī zhèn fǎ de fǔ zuǒ 。
三个条件，自己已满足了其中的两个，唯一剩下的，就是还需要一阵法的辅佐。
And as a high-ranking cultivator capable of withstanding an elemental trial, he certainly possessed the ability to tear through space.
bù guò zhè zì rán yě nán bù dào lín xuān ， tā suī rán bú shì zhèn fǎ yī dào de zōng shī 。 dàn nà “ xiǎo xū yú qián kūn zhèn ” gāi zěn me bù zhì ， bīng pò de jì yì ， nǎi shì qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
不过这自然也难不倒林轩，他虽然不是阵法一道的宗师。但那“小须臾乾坤阵”该怎么布置，冰魄的记忆，乃是清清楚楚。
Of the three conditions, he already satisfied two. The only thing missing was the support from the array technique.
wéi yī qiàn quē de ， jiù shì bù zhì cǐ zhèn fǎ 。 xū yào xǔ duō xiāo hào bù shǎo zhēn guì de cái liào 。
唯一欠缺的，就是布置此阵法。需要许多消耗不少珍贵的材料。
But this wasn't difficult for Lin Xuan. Although he wasn’t an expert in array techniques, the "Brief Moment Array" was clearly recorded in Ice Soul's memory.
dàn zhè méi guān xì ， nà xiē cái liào yě jǐn jǐn shì shí fēn zhēn guì ér yǐ 。 tán bù shàng zhēn zhèng de xī qí ， huā yī xiē shí jiān ， lín xuān yǒu xìn xīn shōu jí 。
但这没关系，那些材料也仅仅是十分珍贵而已。谈不上真正的稀奇，花一些时间，林轩有信心收集。
The only thing lacking was the materials needed to set up the array, which would be quite expensive.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， tā de xīn qíng yòu hǎo le xiē 。
想到这里，他的心情又好了些。
But that didn't matter. These materials were merely very precious, not truly rare. With some time, Lin Xuan had confidence in gathering them.
……
……
With this thought, his mood improved slightly.
yòu fēi piàn kè ， jù lí lù yíng ér de qī shēn zhī dì yǐ jīng hěn jìn le ， lín xuān hěn suí yì de jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， rán ér zhè yī sǎo ， jié guǒ què shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yòu shì è rán yòu shì jīng nù 。
又飞片刻，距离陆盈儿的栖身之地已经很近了，林轩很随意的将神识放出，然而这一扫，结果却是非同小可，又是愕然又是惊怒。
...
zhǐ jiàn zài nà xiǎo xiǎo de dòng fǔ qián miàn ， yǒu jǐ míng hēi páo xiū shì ， zhèng duì zhe nà zhèn fǎ kuáng gōng bù yǐ ， ér shāo yuǎn zhī chù ， yī yīng gōu bí de zhōng nián nán zi ， mù guāng shǎn shuò ， dǎ liàng zhe zì jǐ wèi lù yíng ér kāi pì de dòng fǔ ， mù guāng zhōng yǐn jiàn tān lán zhī sè。
只见在那小小的洞府前面，有几名黑袍修士，正对着那阵法狂攻不已，而稍远之处，一鹰钩鼻的中年男子，目光闪烁，打量着自己为陆盈儿开辟的洞府，目光中隐见贪婪之sè。
After flying for a while, he was close to Lu Ying'er's dwelling place. Lin Xuan casually released his divine sense, but the result was shocking and infuriating.
gèng ràng lín xuān jīng è de shì ， zì jǐ zài dòng fǔ qián bù zhì xià lái de zhèn fǎ jìn zhì suī rán bù duō ， dàn wēi lì què fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jiù suàn fēn shén qī xiū shì yě néng dǎng zhù 。
更让林轩惊愕的是，自己在洞府前布置下来的阵法禁制虽然不多，但威力却非同小可，就算分神期修士也能挡住。
In front of her small abode, several black-robed cultivators were attacking the array non-stop. A middle-aged man with a hooked nose, standing slightly further away, looked at the cave he had created for Lu Ying'er with greedy eyes.
ér yǎn qián de xiǎo bèi ， nà jǐ míng dòng shǒu de hēi páo xiū shì ， bù guò yuán yīng ér yǐ ， yuǎn chù de zhōng nián nán zi yě cái lí hé ， àn lǐ shuō ， tā men gōng jī nà dòng fǔ de jìn zhì yīng gāi shì pí fú hàn shù ， kě rú jīn luò zài lín xuān yǎn zhōng de qíng jǐng ， què shì nà zhèn fǎ huàng dòng bù yǐ ， shuō fēng yǔ piāo yáo yě bù wèi guò ， sì hū hěn kuài jiù yào bèi gōng pò diào le 。
而眼前的小辈，那几名动手的黑袍修士，不过元婴而已，远处的中年男子也才离合，按理说，他们攻击那洞府的禁制应该是蚍蜉撼树，可如今落在林轩眼中的情景，却是那阵法晃动不已，说风雨飘摇也不为过，似乎很快就要被攻破掉了。
What surprised Lin Xuan even more was that although the array and prohibitions he set up in front of the abode weren't many, their power was formidable enough to block even a spirit transformation cultivator. The black-robed cultivators attacking the abode were only at the core foundation stage, while the middle-aged man was at the fusion stage. Logically, their attacks on the abode's prohibitions should have been futile like an ant trying to shake a tree. But what Lin Xuan saw now was that the array was shaking violently, almost as if it would be breached soon.
zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？
这怎么可能呢？
How could this be?
yǎn qián de yí mù luò zài lín xuān yǎn lǐ ， zì rán shì jīng nù jiāo jí ， tóng shí yòu shēng qǐ yī gǔ huāng dàn zhī yì 。
眼前的一幕落在林轩眼里，自然是惊怒交集，同时又升起一股荒诞之意。
The scene before him naturally caused Lin Xuan to feel both anger and shock, along with a sense of absurdity.
bù guò cǐ kè ， tā zì rán méi yǒu xīn qíng shēn jiū xià qù 。
不过此刻，他自然没有心情深究下去。
But he didn't have time to delve into these thoughts at the moment.
zài rén jiè zhī shí ， lù yíng ér jǐ nǚ chuàng lì de bài xuān gé ， duì zì jǐ suī rán bìng méi yǒu hěn dà de bāng zhù ， rán ér duì yú tā men de xīn yì ， lín xuān què shì yì zhí míng jì zài xīn de 。
在人界之时，陆盈儿几女创立的拜轩阁，对自己虽然并没有很大的帮助，然而对于她们的心意，林轩却是一直铭记在心的。
During his time in the mortal world, the Bai Xuan Pavilion founded by several girls had not provided much help, but he always remembered their intentions. Unfortunately, Ying'er or Liu Xin's spiritual root资质 wasn't particularly good. Even though he returned to the spirit world once, limited by his current cultivation level, all he could do was help them form a body, and it was impossible for him to take them further or send them to the spirit world.
kě xī yíng ér yě hǎo ， liú xīn yě bà ， líng gēn zī zhì bìng bù rú hé ， zì jǐ hòu lái jí biàn huí le yī cì líng jiè ， xiàn yú dāng shí de xiū wèi ， yě zuì duō bù guò bāng tā men jié yīng bà le ， nán yǐ gèng jìn yí bù ， gèng bú yào shuō fēi shēng dào líng jiè le 。
可惜盈儿也好，刘芯也罢，灵根资质并不如何，自己后来即便回了一次灵界，限于当时的修为，也最多不过帮她们结婴罢了，难以更进一步，更不要说飞升到灵界了。
Cultivators should rely on their own efforts more than others' help. Lin Xuan knew this well, but deep down, he felt somewhat regretful for not being able to provide much care for them.
xiū xiān xiū xiān ， bié rén dào dǐ wú fǎ tí gōng tài duō de bāng zhù ， ér yīng gāi yǐ zì jǐ nǔ lì wéi zhǔ ， zhè dào lǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， dàn nèi xīn shēn chù ， hái shì pǒ wèi yí hàn de ， méi néng gěi tā men tài duō de zhào fú 。
修仙修仙，别人到底无法提供太多的帮助，而应该以自己努力为主，这道理，林轩心中有数，但内心深处，还是颇为遗憾的，没能给她们太多的照拂。
He wondered about how Bai Xuan Pavilion was doing in the mortal world.
bù zhī rén jiè ， bài xuān gé xiàn zài qíng xíng rú hé 。
不知人界，拜轩阁现在情形如何。
Sometimes, he would think about it, but mostly avoided it because he feared that his old friends might have turned into mere dust.
yǒu shí hòu ， lín xuān yě huì xiǎng zhè ge wèn tí ， dàn gèng duō de shì huí bì ， tā pà xī rì de gù rén ， yǐ huà wèi yī bēi huáng tǔ 。
有时候，林轩也会想这个问题，但更多的是回避，他怕昔rì的故人，已化为一杯黄土。
But Lin Xuan didn't expect that despite the vagueness of reincarnation, his connection with Ying'er was so high. Perhaps she had already perished, but her rebirth allowed them to meet again in this world.
dàn zhè qià qià shì zì jǐ wú kě nài hé ， lún huí zhī shuō ， tài xū wú piāo miǎo le 。
但这恰恰是自己无可奈何，轮回之说，太虚无缥缈了。
In the past life, Lin Xuan couldn't provide much care for her.
dàn lín xuān méi xiǎng dào shì ， lún huí suī rán piāo miǎo ， dàn zì jǐ yǔ lù yíng ér de yuán fēn ， huì zhè me gāo ， yě xǔ tā yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， dàn zhuǎn shì hòu jū rán hái néng yǔ zì jǐ zài zhè lǐ chóng féng 。
但林轩没想到是，轮回虽然飘渺，但自己与陆盈儿的缘分，会这么高，也许她已经陨落，但转世后居然还能与自己在这里重逢。
Now, he was a high-ranking cultivator capable of withstanding an elemental trial.
shàng yī shì ， lín xuān bù néng wèi tā tí gōng tài duō de zhào fú 。
上一世，林轩不能为她提供太多的照拂。
Ying'er's current资质 was clearly much higher than before.
xiàn zài bù tóng ， tā yǐ jīng shì dù jié jí bié de dà néng xiū xiān zhě 。
现在不同，他已经是渡劫级别的大能修仙者。
With such arrangements by heaven, Lin Xuan wouldn't miss this opportunity. So he hesitated not to take Ying'er as his disciple.
ér yíng ér zhè yī shì de zī zhì ， míng xiǎn bǐ yǐ qián gāo le tài duō 。
而盈儿这一世的资质，明显比以前高了太多。
With the help of his powerful master, leading her back onto the path of cultivation would surely result in greater achievements for Ying'er in this life. He would make up for the regrets from his time in the mortal world.
shàng tiān yǒu zhè yàng de ān pái ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì cuò guò ， yú shì háo bù yóu yù de shōu lù yíng ér wèi tú 。
上天有这样的安排，林轩当然不会错过，于是毫不犹豫的收陆盈儿为徒。
Lin Xuan was a man who valued loyalty and emotion. For Fairy Hong Ling, he had already offered such great help. How much more so with Ying'er? He cared deeply about this disciple.
yǒu zì jǐ zhè wèi kān chēng dà néng de shī zūn de bāng zhù ， chóng xīn lǐng zhe tā zǒu shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， xiāng xìn yíng ér zhè yī shì de chéng jì ， huì gāo chū yǐ wǎng xǔ duō ， rén jiè shí hòu de yí hàn ， zì jǐ lái mí bǔ 。
有自己这位堪称大能的师尊的帮助，重新领着她走上修仙之路，相信盈儿这一世的成绩，会高出以往许多，人界时候的遗憾，自己来弥补。
Moreover, Lin Xuan's protective nature meant that no one should dare to bully his disciples. These guys must have lost their minds.
lín xuān yuán běn jiù shì zhòng qíng zhòng yì de rén wù ， duì yú hóng líng xiān zi ， shàng qiě yuàn yì jǐ yǔ zhè me dà de bāng zhù ， gèng hé kuàng yǔ lù yíng ér de qíng fēn ， yòu zì bù tóng ， duì yú zhè ge tú ér ， tā hěn kàn zhòng 。
林轩原本就是重情重义的人物，对于红绫仙子，尚且愿意给予这么大的帮助，更何况与陆盈儿的情分，又自不同，对于这个徒儿，他很看重。
PS: Sorry for the chapter today; there were some family matters at home. I can only post one chapter now and will go out again tonight. Please forgive me. I'll try my best, Rainy Illusion.
Lin Xuan was never a proud cultivator. When Fairy Yang Tong showed interest in befriending him, he naturally complied, as it was beneficial for him with no drawbacks.
After a brief conversation, the two quickly became more familiar.
"Ah!"
Fairy Yang Tong suddenly coughed lightly. It turned out that her injuries were flaring up. She hurriedly took deep breaths and the luminous aura around her body surged, suppressing the discomfort she felt.
"How are you feeling, Fairy?"
"I apologize for troubling you. This injury isn't life-threatening, but it can't be delayed any longer. I must find a place of spiritual energy to recuperate properly. I must take my leave now," said Fairy Yang Tong with a sigh and an apologetic expression on her face.
"Don't worry about it. Healing is the priority."
Lin Xuan waved his hand. With his keen eyes, he knew that the current situation for the other party was indeed unfavorable, at least not suitable to be delayed any longer.
"Fairy Lin, I can't repay your kindness. If you have time, come to Bright Stream Pavilion and let me entertain you as a host."
"Very well. The green mountains remain unchanged, while the clear waters flow endlessly. We will meet again!"
Lin Xuan bowed in return.
Then he saw the woman's body emit a bright blue light, transforming into a streak of blue light that soared towards the sky, vanishing within moments.
Lin Xuan's expression turned gloomy, no longer as relaxed as before.
Of course, it wasn't because of Fairy Yang Tong. He was thinking about future challenges he might face.
Ice Soul!
Although they had been enemies in the past, this time she had been thoroughly offended by him.
Even for a True Demon Ancestor to create a body capable of withstanding an elemental trial was no easy feat. Now that it had been destroyed by his hands, how could she bear to let go of her anger?
While her status made it unlikely for her main body to easily enter the spirit world, this didn't mean she couldn't cause trouble and danger for him.
In any case, offending Ice Soul this time would surely bring endless troubles in the future.
However, there was no choice at the moment. So Lin Xuan felt remorse but not regret.

Fortunately, he wasn’t working in vain. He had finally found a way to leave the Lost Plane.

The scene before him naturally caused Lin Xuan to feel both anger and shock, along with a sense of absurdity.
But he didn't have time to delve into these thoughts at the moment.
During his time in the mortal world, the Bai Xuan Pavilion founded by several girls had not provided much help, but he always remembered their intentions. Unfortunately, Ying'er or Liu Xin's spiritual root资质 wasn't particularly good. Even though he returned to the spirit world once, limited by his current cultivation level, all he could do was help them form a body, and it was impossible for him to take them further or send them to the spirit world.
Cultivators should rely on their own efforts more than others' help. Lin Xuan knew this well, but deep down, he felt somewhat regretful for not being able to provide much care for them.
He wondered about how Bai Xuan Pavilion was doing in the mortal world.
Sometimes, he would think about it, but mostly avoided it because he feared that his old friends might have turned into mere dust.
But Lin Xuan didn't expect that despite the vagueness of reincarnation, his connection with Ying'er was so high. Perhaps she had already perished, but her rebirth allowed them to meet again in this world.
In the past life, Lin Xuan couldn't provide much care for her.
Now, he was a high-ranking cultivator capable of withstanding an elemental trial.
Ying'er's current资质 was clearly much higher than before.
With such arrangements by heaven, Lin Xuan wouldn't miss this opportunity. So he hesitated not to take Ying'er as his disciple.
With the help of his powerful master, leading her back onto the path of cultivation would surely result in greater achievements for Ying'er in this life. He would make up for the regrets from his time in the mortal world.
Lin Xuan was a man who valued loyalty and emotion. For Fairy Hong Ling, he had already offered such great help. How much more so with Ying'er? He cared deeply about this disciple.
Moreover, Lin Xuan's protective nature meant that no one should dare to bully his disciples. These guys must have lost their minds.
