suī rán lín xuān shēn jiā fēng fù ， yuǎn chāo tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， běn shēn jiù huái yǒu xǔ duō bù kě sī yì de bǎo wù 。
虽然林轩身家丰富，远超同阶修仙者，本身就怀有许多不可思议的宝物。
Although Lin Xuan was wealthy and far surpassed his peers in cultivation, he still possessed many incredible treasures.
rán ér xiān yāo líng bǎo ， shuí huì xián duō ， zhè zhǒng děng jí de dōng xī ， biàn shì dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， yě huì yǎn chán dé liú kǒu shuǐ de 。
然而先夭灵宝，谁会嫌多，这种等级的东西，便是渡劫后期的老怪物，也会眼馋得流口水的。
However, who would begrudge having too many divine treasures? Such items were coveted by even the most ancient and formidable elders. Once revealed, they would inevitably stir up a storm within the cultivation world. Yet, Lin Xuan had obtained such a treasure so easily; fortune was truly unpredictable—when it came, one couldn't stop it.
yí dàn xiàn shì ， fēi zài xiū xiān jiè yǐn qǐ xīng fēng xuè yǔ bù kě ， zì jǐ què zhè yàng qīng yì jiù dé dào le ， jī yuán zhè dōng xī ， zhēn shì nán yǐ shuō dé qīng chǔ ， dāng yùn qì lái le ， nà shì dǎng dōu dǎng bú zhù 。
一旦现世，非在修仙界引起腥风血雨不可，自己却这样轻易就得到了，机缘这东西，真是难以说得清楚，当运气来了，那是挡都挡不住。
Lin Xuan wasn’t a cold-hearted person. The joy of acquiring such a treasure was accompanied by gratitude towards the Moon Shadow Clan and the Immortal Witch Goddess.
lín xuān bú shì guǎ qíng báo yì zhī tú ， dé dào zhè yàng yī jiàn bǎo wù ， huān xǐ zhī yú ， duì mò yuè zú hái yǒu yāo wū shén nǚ ， xīn zhōng zì rán yě shì dà wèi gǎn jī 。
林轩不是寡情薄意之徒，得到这样一件宝物，欢喜之余，对墨月族还有夭巫神女，心中自然也是大为感激。
Holding the Moon Shadow Immortal Witch Pavilion in his hands, Lin Xuan’s face lit up with delight. Inside this divine treasure were numerous treasures accumulated by the Moon Shadow Clan over time.
lín xuān jiāng mò yuè yāo wū diàn ná zài shǒu lǐ ， liǎn shàng xǐ xíng yú sè， yào xiǎo de ， chú le zhè jiàn xiān yāo líng bǎo ， lǐ miàn hái zhuāng yǒu mò yuè zú suǒ jī cún xià lái de dà liàng bǎo wù 。
林轩将墨月夭巫殿拿在手里，脸上喜形于sè，要晓得，除了这件先夭灵宝，里面还装有墨月族所积存下来的大量宝物。
He released his spiritual awareness, but to no avail; it was like a stone thrown into an empty well, failing to stir any waves on the Moon Shadow Immortal Witch Pavilion.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， què sī háo méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， rú ní niú rù hǎi ， méi yǒu zài mò yuè yāo wū diàn shàng jī qǐ yì diǎn bō lán 。
林轩将神识放出，却丝毫没有效果，如泥牛入海，没有在墨月夭巫殿上激起一点波澜。
Lin Xuan showed no unusual expression. Since it was a spatial treasure, spiritual awareness had no use here. To inspect its contents, he would need to first refine this divine treasure.
lín xuān liǎn shàng bìng wú yì sè， jì shì kōng jiān zhì bǎo ， shén shí zì rán méi yǒu yòng tú ， xiǎng yào chá kàn lǐ miàn zhuāng zài de cái liào bǎo wù ， dé xiān jiāng zhè jiàn xiān yāo líng bǎo liàn huà le cái yǒu kě néng de 。
林轩脸上并无异sè，既是空间至宝，神识自然没有用途，想要查看里面装载的材料宝物，得先将这件先夭灵宝炼化了才有可能的。
Impatience is not wise, and Lin Xuan didn’t plan to refine the treasures right away. He could handle them later when he had more time; there was no rush.
xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， lín xuān bìng méi xiǎng guò yào zài zhè lǐ liàn huà bǎo wù ， yǐ hòu yǒu shí jiān ， zài màn màn chǔ lǐ mò yuè zú yí liú xià lái de cái liào bǎo bèi ， yě bú huì chí de 。
心急吃不了热豆腐，林轩并没想过要在这里炼化宝物，以后有时间，再慢慢处理墨月族遗留下来的材料宝贝，也不会迟的。
With his thoughts settled, Lin Xuan raised his head again. What he saw next left him stunned.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān chóng xīn tái qǐ le tóu lú ， suí hòu kàn jiàn de yí mù ， què ràng qí dà jīng shī sè。
脑海中念头转过，林轩重新抬起了头颅，随后看见的一幕，却让其大惊失sè。
Snow Spirit’s body had become transparent.
xuě líng de shēn tǐ ， jū rán biàn dé tòu míng qǐ lái le 。
雪灵的身体，居然变得透明起来了。
Lin Xuan’s brows knitted in confusion at first, thinking he might have misjudged the situation. However, upon closer inspection, it became clear that her condition was indeed dire—her aura was rapidly weakening before his eyes.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， qǐ chū hái yǐ wéi zì jǐ kàn cuò ， kě shuāng mù yī níng zhī hòu ， què fā xiàn cǐ nǚ de jìng kuàng ， guǒ rán bù miào yǐ jí ， qì xī yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù ， biàn dé shuāi ruò wú bǐ 。
林轩眉头一挑，起初还以为自己看错，可双目一凝之后，却发现此女的境况，果然不妙以极，气息以肉眼可见的速度，变得衰弱无比。
"You..."
“ nǐ ……”
“你……”
Lin Xuan's face wasn’t particularly pleasant. With his extensive knowledge, he could easily discern that Snow Spirit’s magical power was rapidly diminishing and would soon dissipate completely.
lín xuān de liǎn sè， zì rán hǎo kàn bú dào nǎ ér qù ， yǐ tā jiàn shí guǎng bó ， nǎ lǐ fēn biàn bù chū ， yǎn qián shào nǚ de fǎ lì ， zhèng zài jí sù jiǎn ruò ， hěn kuài jiù yào hún fēi pò sàn diào le 。
林轩的脸sè，自然好看不到哪儿去，以他见识广博，哪里分辨不出，眼前少女的法力，正在急速减弱，很快就要魂飞魄散掉了。
What to do?
zhè kě rú hé shì hǎo ？
这可如何是好？
Although this was their first meeting, Lin Xuan felt a strong connection with her. She had shared many ancient secrets and gifted him numerous treasures, including the divine treasure.
suī rán lín xuān yǔ xuě líng shì dì yī cì jiàn miàn ， dàn yán tán zhī jiān yě gǎn jué pǒ wèi tóu yuán ， duì fāng bù jǐn gào sù le zì jǐ xǔ duō shàng gǔ yǐn mì ， hái zèng sòng le bāo kuò xiān yāo líng bǎo zài nèi de yī dà pī dōng xī 。
虽然林轩与雪灵是第一次见面，但言谈之间也感觉颇为投缘，对方不仅告诉了自己许多上古隐秘，还赠送了包括先夭灵宝在内的一大批东西。
Even if she did so as per the Immortal Witch Goddess's instructions, he still greatly appreciated Snow Spirit’s kindness.
suī rán tā zhè me zuò ， dōu shì yāo wū shén nǚ de fēn fù ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， lín xuān hái shì hěn gǎn jī xuě líng de 。
虽然她这么做，都是夭巫神女的吩咐，但不管如何，林轩还是很感激雪灵的。
Lin Xuan wasn’t an ungrateful cultivator. He hadn’t yet decided how to repay her, but now she was about to dissipate before his eyes.
lín xuān kě bú shì wàng ēn fù yì de xiū xiān zhě ， hái méi yǒu xiǎng hǎo zěn me bào dá cǐ nǚ de ēn dé ， xuě líng què yào zài zì jǐ miàn qián hún fēi pò sàn diào le 。
林轩可不是忘恩负义的修仙者，还没有想好怎么报答此女的恩德，雪灵却要在自己面前魂飞魄散掉了。
Though Lin Xuan didn’t know the reason, he couldn’t remain indifferent; he showed his anxiety openly on his face.
lín xuān hái bù zhī dào yuán yīn shì shén me ， dàn yú qíng yú lǐ ， dōu méi yǒu xiù shǒu páng guān yī shuō ， tā liǎn shàng yě háo bù yǎn shì de lù chū le jiāo jí zhī sè。
林轩还不知道原因是什么，但于情于理，都没有袖手旁观一说，他脸上也毫不掩饰的露出了焦急之sè。
"Princess, what’s wrong?"
“ xiān zi jiū jìng zěn me le ？”
“仙子究竞怎么了？”
Lin Xuan didn’t believe in coincidences. Snow Spirit’s residual soul had reached its final moment of life just as he arrived here. There must be a reason for this timing.
lín xuān kě bù xiāng xìn shì yǒu qiǎo hé ， zì jǐ gāng lái dào zhè lǐ ， xuě líng de zhè lǚ cán pò jiù dào le shòu yuán hào jìn de yī kè 。
林轩可不相信事有巧合，自己刚来到这里，雪灵的这缕残魄就到了寿元耗尽的一刻。
Could it be... Lin Xuan was a shrewd cultivator and quickly considered a possibility.
zhè zhōng jiān kěn dìng shì yǒu yuán yīn de 。
这中间肯定是有原因的。
Opening the interface channel, while the Immortal Witch Goddess likely made some preparations, Snow Spirit wasn’t a full-fledged cultivator anymore; she had only a residual soul left. Summoning lightning seemed miraculous but required immense energy.
nán dào shuō …… lín xuān yě shì cōng míng jī biàn de xiū xiān zhě ， hěn kuài jiù xiǎng dào yí gè kě néng xìng le 。
难道说……林轩也是聪明机变的修仙者，很快就想到一个可能xìng了。
Without her body to meditate and recover, if her true essence was nearly depleted, wouldn’t this be the outcome?
gāng cái jiāng jiè miàn tōng dào dǎ kāi ， yāo wū shén nǚ suī rán kěn dìng zuò le yī fān bù zhì ， dàn bié wàng le ， rú jīn de xuě líng ， kě bú shì dāng nián de dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， tā jǐn jǐn shèng xià yī lǚ cán pò 。
刚才将界面通道打开，夭巫神女虽然肯定做了一番布置，但别忘了，如今的雪灵，可不是当年的渡劫期修仙者，她仅仅剩下一缕残魄。
Feeling guilty, Lin Xuan’s face showed his remorse.
qū shǐ léi diàn fǎ zé ， kàn shì shén miào dào jí chù ， dàn xiāo hào kěn dìng yě shì fēi cháng dà de 。
驱使雷电法则，看似神妙到极处，但消耗肯定也是非常大的。
Though it was due to the Immortal Witch Goddess's task, he felt responsible for this situation. His apology was clear on his face.
tā rú jīn méi yǒu shēn tǐ ， wú fǎ dǎ zuò huī fù fǎ lì ， yí dàn běn mìng zhēn yuán suǒ shèng bù duō ， kě jiù bú shì xiàn zài zhè hún fēi pò sàn de jié jú me ？
她如今没有身体，无法打坐恢复法力，一旦本命真元所剩不多，可就不是现在这魂飞魄散的结局么？
Snow Spirit smiled, trying to comfort him: "Young Master, there is no need to blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. I am a first-stage cultivator who has lived long enough. Now that I can fulfill the Immortal Goddess's wishes, I have no regrets."
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū jǐ fēn kuì jiù zhī sè。
念及至此，林轩脸上也不由得露出几分愧疚之sè。
While this might be true, Lin Xuan didn’t believe it.
suī shuō tā shǒu hù bǎo wù ， shì yāo wū shén nǚ bù zhì de rèn wù ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， cǐ shì yě suàn yīn zì jǐ ér qǐ de 。
虽说她守护宝物，是夭巫神女布置的任务，但不管如何，此事也算因自己而起的。
Snow Spirit had been alive for a long time, but being sealed in ancient ruins offered little joy. Moreover, pursuing immortality was to seek eternal life; who would willingly face such an outcome?
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān liǎn shàng de qiàn yì yě jiù háo bù yǎn shì de xiǎn lù 。
心中如此想着，林轩脸上的歉意也就毫不掩饰的显露。
Thus, her words were merely to ease his mind and reduce his guilt. Lin Xuan wouldn’t truly think she had accepted death.
xuě líng kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， fǎn ér yī xiào de quàn wèi qǐ lái le ：“ shǎo zhǔ bù bì zì zé ， cǐ shì yǔ nǐ wú guān ， qiè shēn yī dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， néng huó zhe me duō nián ， yǐ jīng xīn mǎn yì zú ， rú jīn néng wán chéng shén nǚ dà rù de zhǔ tuō ， gèng méi yǒu shén me hǎo yí hàn de 。”
雪灵看在眼里，反而一笑的劝慰起来了：“少主不必自责，此事与你无关，妾身一渡劫初期的修仙者，能活着么多年，已经心满意足，如今能完成神女大入的嘱托，更没有什么好遗憾的。”
What should he do now?
zhè huà huò xǔ bù jiǎ ， dàn lín xuān yě bú huì dàng zhēn de 。
这话或许不假，但林轩也不会当真的。
Lin Xuan frowned, pondering the situation while Snow Spirit’s condition worsened. Her illusory form was becoming increasingly hazy; soon, she would dissipate completely.
xuě líng huó le xǔ jiǔ méi cuò ， dàn yì zhí bèi fēng yìn zài shàng gǔ yí jì zhōng ， yòu yǒu hé lè qù kě yán ne ， zhè qiě bù shuō ， xiū xiān xiū xiān ， běn shì wèi le zhuī xún cháng shēng zhī lù ， ruò fēi wàn bù dé yǐ ， shuí yòu xiǎng luò gè hún fēi pò sàn de jié jú ne ？
雪灵活了许久没错，但一直被封印在上古遗迹中，又有何乐趣可言呢，这且不说，修仙修仙，本是为了追寻长生之路，若非万不得已，谁又想落个魂飞魄散的结局呢？
As expected, despite her words, deep down, she was filled with reluctance. Seeing Lin Xuan’s anxious expression, she felt warmth in her heart.
suǒ yǐ cǐ nǚ zhè yàng shuō ， bù guò shì wèi le ān wèi zì jǐ bú yào tì tā nán guò ， jiǎn shǎo zì jǐ xīn zhōng de kuì jiù bà le ， lín xuān kě bù huì zhēn de rèn wéi tā yǐ jiāng shēng sǐ kàn pò 。
所以此女这样说，不过是为了安慰自己不要替她难过，减少自己心中的愧疚罢了，林轩可不会真的认为她已将生死看破。
The Moon Shadow Clan had treated her well, passing on secret treasures and the Immortal Witch Technique to a benevolent cultivator. With his help, their clan might truly have a chance at revival.
zhǐ shì xiàn zài ， zì jǐ yòu gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
只是现在，自己又该怎么办呢？
With this thought, Snow Spirit spoke: "Young Master, don’t be sad. I have no regrets. If my clan needs assistance in the future, please consider helping us out of gratitude for today’s kindness."
lín xuān zhòu méi sī suǒ ， ér xuě líng de chǔ jìng ， yě yuè fā bù miào le 。
林轩皱眉思索，而雪灵的处境，也越发不妙了。
"Princess, it is an honor," Lin Xuan’s solemn voice echoed. Then he changed his tone: "Actually, there is a way to save your life, but we need to act quickly."
tā suǒ huàn huà chū lái de xū yǐng ， yǐ yuè lái yuè mó hú ， zhè yàng xià qù ， yòng bù liǎo duō jiǔ de gōng fu ， jiù huì zhēn zhèng hún fēi pò sàn diào le 。
她所幻化出来的虚影，已越来越模糊，这样下去，用不了多久的功夫，就会真正魂飞魄散掉了。
"What? A way to save my life?"
zhèng rú lín xuān de cāi cè ， cǐ nǚ zuǐ shàng suī rán nà yàng shuō ， dàn nèi xīn shēn chù ， hái shì chōng mǎn le bù shě ， bù guò kàn jiàn lín xuān nà mǎn liǎn de zháo jí zhī sè， cǐ nǚ xīn zhōng hái shì pǒ wèi wēn nuǎn de 。
正如林轩的猜测，此女嘴上虽然那样说，但内心深处，还是充满了不舍，不过看见林轩那满脸的着急之sè，此女心中还是颇为温暖的。
Snow Spirit was stunned, almost thinking she had misheard. She knew her situation well.
shàng yāo zǒng suàn dài mò yuè zú bù báo ， chuán chéng le mì bǎo yǔ mò yuè yāo wū jué de shǎo zhǔ shì yī wèi zhái xīn rén hòu de xiū xiān zhě ， ruò néng dé tā bāng zhù ， běn zú yě xǔ zhēn yǒu nà me yī sī dōng shān zài qǐ de jī huì de 。
上夭总算待墨月族不薄，传承了秘宝与墨月夭巫诀的少主是一位宅心仁厚的修仙者，若能得他帮助，本族也许真有那么一丝东山再起的机会的。
Her lifespan might still have many years left, but she had consumed much of her true essence by summoning lightning. Without a body for meditation and recovery, this outcome was inevitable. What idea did Young Master have to turn things around?
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， xuě líng kāi kǒu le ：“ shǎo zhǔ bù yòng nán guò ， qiè shēn méi yǒu shén me hǎo yí hàn de ， zhǐ shì wǒ mò yuè zú yǐ hòu ruò xū yào bāng zhù ， hái qǐng shǎo zhǔ kàn zài jīn rì de qíng fēn shàng ， shī yǐ yuán shǒu 。”
念及至此，雪灵开口了：“少主不用难过，妾身没有什么好遗憾的，只是我墨月族以后若需要帮助，还请少主看在今rì的情分上，施以援手。”
Was it just empty words? Though they hadn’t interacted much, Snow Spirit sensed Lin Xuan’s reliability. He wouldn’t make such claims without confidence.
“ xiān zi kè qì ， lín mǒu yì bù róng cí 。” lín xuān sù róng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ， suí hòu què huà fēng yī zhuǎn ：“ qí shí xiàn zài yě bù yòng zháo jí ， lín mǒu yǐ xiǎng dào le jiù nǐ yī mìng de zhǔ yì 。”
“仙子客气，林某义不容辞。”林轩肃容的声音传入耳朵里，随后却话锋一转：“其实现在也不用着急，林某已想到了救你一命的主意。”
With these thoughts, she hoped for the best—after all, who would want to dissipate their soul?
“ shén me ， jiù wǒ yī mìng de zhǔ yì 。”
“什么，救我一命的主意。”
"Does Young Master really have a plan?" Her voice trembled as she asked.
xuě líng yī dāi ， jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ tīng cuò ， zì jǐ de qíng kuàng ， zì jǐ zuì qīng chǔ 。
雪灵一呆，几乎以为自己听错，自己的情况，自己最清楚。
"I can't guarantee success, but it's worth trying."
jiù shòu yuán lái shuō ， tā què shí hái shèng xǔ duō ， dàn gāng gāng qū shǐ léi diàn fǎ zé ， tā tǐ nèi de běn mìng zhēn yuán què xiāo hào le xǔ duō ， méi yǒu shēn tǐ ， wú fǎ dǎ zuò huī fù ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， shì kěn dìng huì hún fēi pò sàn de ， shǎo zhǔ yǒu shén me zhǔ yì ， néng gòu lì wǎn kuáng lán ne ？
就寿元来说，她确实还剩许多，但刚刚驱使雷电法则，她体内的本命真元却消耗了许多，没有身体，无法打坐恢复，这种情况下，是肯定会魂飞魄散的，少主有什么主意，能够力挽狂澜呢？
Before Lin Xuan could finish speaking, he flicked his sleeves. The situation was critical; he couldn’t delay any longer.
nán dào shì suí kǒu ān wèi ér yǐ ， rán ér tā yǔ lín xuān suī jiē chù bù duō ， dàn yě gǎn jué dào lín xuān shì hěn tà shí wěn zhòng de xìng gé ， ruò méi yǒu jué duì de bǎ wò ， bú huì zhè yàng xìn kǒu kāi hé 。
难道是随口安慰而已，然而她与林轩虽接触不多，但也感觉到林轩是很踏实稳重的xìng格，若没有绝对的把握，不会这样信口开河。
A pure white jade bottle flew out, emitting faint green light.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， xuě líng xīn zhōng yě shēng chū yī sī qí pàn lái le ， bì jìng néng bù yǔn luò ， shuí yuàn yì hún fēi pò sàn diào ne ？
念及至此，雪灵心中也生出一丝祈盼来了，毕竞能不陨落，谁愿意魂飞魄散掉呢？
Though only a few inches tall, the bottle seemed ordinary at first glance—similar to a common vial for storing pills.
“ shǎo zhǔ zhēn yǒu zhǔ yì me ？” cǐ nǚ shēng yīn chàn dǒu de kāi kǒu 。
“少主真有主意么？”此女声音颤抖的开口。
However, its surface emitted a pale green glow, not a mere sheen but composed of tiny runes.
“ jué duì de bǎ wò bù gǎn shuō ， bù guò zǒng guī shì kě yǐ shì yī shì de 。”
“绝对的把握不敢说，不过总归是可以试一试的。”
These runes were so small that they couldn’t be discerned individually. Their faint green appearance resembled spiritual light.
lín xuān huà yīn wèi luò ， xiù páo yī fú ， rú jīn qíng shì yǐ pǒ wèi wēi jí ， tā zì rán bù gǎn jì xù dān gē xià qù 。
林轩话音未落，袖袍一拂，如今情势已颇为危急，他自然不敢继续耽搁下去。
Clearly, it was an extraordinary treasure.
Although Lin Xuan was wealthy and far surpassed his peers in cultivation, he still possessed many incredible treasures.
However, who would begrudge having too many divine treasures? Such items were coveted by even the most ancient and formidable elders. Once revealed, they would inevitably stir up a storm within the cultivation world. Yet, Lin Xuan had obtained such a treasure so easily; fortune was truly unpredictable—when it came, one couldn't stop it.
Lin Xuan wasn’t a cold-hearted person. The joy of acquiring such a treasure was accompanied by gratitude towards the Moon Shadow Clan and the Immortal Witch Goddess.
Holding the Moon Shadow Immortal Witch Pavilion in his hands, Lin Xuan’s face lit up with delight. Inside this divine treasure were numerous treasures accumulated by the Moon Shadow Clan over time.
