“ jì rán rú cǐ ， jiù duō xiè gè wèi qián bèi le ， jīn rì tiān sè yǐ wǎn ， jiù qǐng dà jiā zài zhè lǐ xiū xī ， míng tiān yī zǎo ， wǒ men zài chū qù nà guǐ wáng de dòng fǔ 。”
“既然如此，就多谢各位前辈了，今日天色已晚，就请大家在这里休息，明天一早，我们再出去那鬼王的洞府。”
"Since that's the case, I thank you all for your assistance. It's getting late, so please rest here and we can head out to the Ghost King's lair early tomorrow."
liè hǎi péng mǎn liǎn xīn xǐ de dà lǐ bài xiè ， qǐ shēn hòu pāi le pāi shǒu ， dùn shí cóng wū wài jìn lái le sì duì nián qīng měi mào de bì nǚ ， suī rán xiū wèi dōu pǔ tōng yǐ jí ， dàn què shí dāng dé qǐ xiù sè kě cān jǐ gè zì 。
列海鹏满脸欣喜的大礼拜谢，起身后拍了拍手，顿时从屋外进来了四对年轻美貌的婢女，虽然修为都普通以极，但确实当得起秀色可餐几个字。
Lei Haipeng bowed gratefully with a delighted expression on his face. After standing up, he clapped his hands, and instantly four beautiful young maids appeared from outside the room. Although their cultivation levels were ordinary, they indeed lived up to the phrase "delicious to look at."
“ men dài jǐ wèi qián bèi xià qù xiū xī 。”
“们带几位前辈下去休息。”
"Please lead our seniors down to rest," one of the maids said.
“ shì ！”
“是！”
"Yes!" The maids bowed respectfully before stepping back in a show of deference.
shì nǚ men gōng jìng de zài qián miàn yǐn lù ， níng dān qī xiū shì men zé yú guàn ér chū ， jiāng tā men dài dào zhú lín wài de yī piàn xiǎo wū 。
侍女们恭敬的在前面引路，凝丹期修士们则鱼贯而出，将他们带到竹林外的一片小屋。
Lin Xuan pushed open the door and stepped into the room. It was not spacious, but it was very elegant and clean. Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction.
“ lín dào yǒu ， zài xià xiàng nǐ tí de jiàn yì kě bù yào wàng jì le 。” fēn kāi yǐ qián ， yuán dà hǎi bù wàng duì lín xuān yīn yīn dīng zhǔ yī fān 。
“林道友，在下像你提的建议可不要忘记了。”分开以前，袁大海不忘对林轩殷殷叮嘱一番。
Then he released his spirit sense to check the entire room and its surroundings. There were no signs of anything amiss or out of place. This was expected since Seven Extremes Heaven had a request for them; they wouldn't tamper with their accommodations. Lin Xuan's inspection was more out of precaution.
“ dào yǒu fàng xīn ， zài xià zì rán huì zǐ xì kǎo lǜ 。” lín xuān bào quán xíng le yī lǐ ， yuán dà hǎi zhè cái mǎn yì yǐ jí de lí qù 。
“道友放心，在下自然会仔细考虑。”林轩抱拳行了一礼，袁大海这才满意以极的离去。
Immediately, Lin Xuan took out an array talisman from his pocket and set up a simple magical array outside the room before entering.
wàng zhe tā de bèi yǐng xiāo shī ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， shēn wèi líng yào shān shǎo zhǎng mén de tā ， zì rán duì jiā rù hǎi shā pài háo wú xìng qù ， dàn yě méi bì yào yǔ duì fāng sī pò liǎn pí ， fǎn zhèng cǐ jiān shì le yǐ hòu ， dà jiā jiù gè bēn dōng xī 。
望着他的背影消失，林轩嘴角边流露出一丝笑意，身为灵药山少掌门的他，自然对加入海沙派毫无兴趣，但也没必要与对方撕破脸皮，反正此间事了以后，大家就各奔东西。
After his trip to Qingye Mountain, Lin Xuan obtained *The Heart of璇Ji*. Although he couldn't thoroughly study the array knowledge due to time constraints, he had skimmed through some parts.
“ yě kě yǐ xià qù le 。” lín xuān kàn le yī yǎn shēn biān de shì nǚ 。
“也可以下去了。”林轩看了一眼身边的侍女。
Although his current level was insufficient for dealing with array disks and flags, Lin Xuan had tried a few simple array talismans out of curiosity.
“ shì ！” shì nǚ fú le yī fú ， rán hòu zhuǎn shēn gōng jìng de tuì le xià qù 。
“是！”侍女福了一福，然后转身恭敬的退了下去。
For him now, the materials used to make these array talismans weren't precious, so failing wouldn't be a big deal.
lín xuān tuī mén zǒu jìn le fáng jiān lǐ 。
林轩推门走进了房间里。
With this mindset, Lin Xuan began crafting them. He failed several times but managed to obtain a few finished ones by chance.
bù dà 。 dàn shí fēn qīng yǎ 。 gān jìng zhěng jié 。 lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè 。
不大。但十分清雅。干净整洁。林轩脸上露出满意之色。
The array he set up with these talismans was not enough for defense alone, but it served well as an early warning system.
rán hòu 。 tā fàng chū shén shí 。 jiāng zhěng jiān wū zi jí qí zhōu wéi dōu jiǎn chá le yī biàn 。 bìng méi yǒu xiàn yì yàng yǔ bù tuǒ 。 zhè yě zài yì liào zhī zhōng 。 qī jué tiān jì rán yǒu qiú yú tā men 。 zì rán bú huì zài zhù chù zuò shǒu jiǎo 。 lín xuān jiǎn chá 。 yě shì cún le gè yǐ fáng wàn yī dì xīn lǐ 。
然后。他放出神识。将整间屋子及其周围都检查了一遍。并没有现异样与不妥。这也在意料之中。七绝天既然有求于他们。自然不会在住处做手脚。林轩检查。也是存了个以防万一地心理。
Lin Xuan approached the bed and flicked his sleeve. A white light appeared, and Moon appeared before him. The little girl's face remained pale, but there were no signs of worsening injuries, which made Lin Xuan feel somewhat relieved.
dāng jí 。 lín xuān cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū yī zhāng zhèn fú 。 zài fáng jiān wài bù xià yí gè jiǎn dān dì fǎ zhèn yǐ hòu 。 jiù zǒu jìn qù le 。
当即。林轩从怀中取出一张阵符。在房间外布下一个简单地法阵以后。就走进去了。
He then flipped his hand and took out the jade bottle he had obtained from the auction.
qīng yè shān zhī xíng 。 lín xuān dé dào le 《 xuán jī xīn dé 》。 suī rán yóu yú shí jiān yǒu xiàn 。 méi néng jiāng lǐ miàn dì zhèn fǎ zhī shí zǐ xì yán jiū 。 bù guò què yě cū lüè liú lǎn guò yī èr dì 。
青叶山之行。林轩得到了《璇玑心得》。虽然由于时间有限。没能将里面地阵法知识仔细研究。不过却也粗略浏览过一二地。
The Yin Spirit Pill was quite valuable, according to Lei Haipeng, as it had a miraculous effect on ghostly injuries. However, Moon's situation was special; she had been injured by essence force backlash when trying to condense her spirit core. The effectiveness of this pill might be questionable.
suī rán yǐ tā xiàn zài dì shuǐ zhǔn 。 hái wú fǎ shè liè zhèn pán 。 zhèn qí 。 rán ér yī xiē zuì zuì jiǎn dān dì zhèn fú 。 lín xuān hào qí zhī xià yě céng shāo zuò cháng shì 。
虽然以他现在地水准。还无法涉猎阵盘。阵旗。然而一些最最简单地阵符。林轩好奇之下也曾稍做尝试。
But even if it couldn't cure her completely, taking it should still improve her condition. With that thought in mind, Lin Xuan opened the bottle cap.
fǎn zhèng duì yú xiàn zài dì tā ér yán 。 nà xiē zhì zuò zhèn fú dì cái liào bìng bù suàn zhēn guì 。 jiù suàn shī bài làng fèi yě bù xīn téng 。
反正对于现在地他而言。那些制作阵符地材料并不算珍贵。就算失败浪费也不心疼。
"Ah, what is this..."
bào zhe zhè yàng de xīn lǐ ， lín xuān kāi shǐ liàn zhì ， zì rán shì shī bài le shù cì ， rán ér jī yuán qiǎo hé zhī xià ， què yě huò dé le jǐ zhāng chéng pǐn 。
抱着这样的心理，林轩开始炼制，自然是失败了数次，然而机缘巧合之下，却也获得了几张成品。
The Yin Spirit Pill before his eyes was vastly different from ordinary medicinal fruits in the cultivation world; they looked like clear crystal beads with a thick fog surrounding them on their surfaces. Lin Xuan was initially surprised but quickly understood when he thought about it.
yòng cǐ fú bù xià dì zhèn fǎ ， yù dí gù rán shì bù zú gòu 。 dàn jǐn jǐn shì zuò wéi yù jǐng de huà què shì chuò chuò yǒu yú 。
用此符布下地阵法，御敌固然是不足够。但仅仅是作为预警的话却是绰绰有余。
Knowing that ghosts, unless at the Ghost Emperor level, were formless and intangible, how could one swallow such pills? This...
lín xuān lái dào chuáng biān ， xiù páo yī fú ， bái guāng shǎn xiàn 。 yuè ér chū xiàn zài le miàn qián ， xiǎo yā tou yī rán liǎn sè cāng bái ， bù guò shāng shì méi yǒu zuò de jì xiàng ， zhè ràng lín xuān ān xīn le bù shǎo 。
林轩来到床边，袖袍一拂，白光闪现。月儿出现在了面前，小丫头依然脸色苍白，不过伤势没有作的迹象，这让林轩安心了不少。
Lin Xuan hesitated briefly before picking up the Yin Spirit Pill with his index finger and thumb. He applied a slight force, causing the pill to shatter.
rán hòu lín xuān yī fān shǒu ， jiāng pāi mài huì shàng nà ge suǒ de de yù píng qǔ le chū lái 。
然后林轩一翻手，将拍卖会上那个所得的玉瓶取了出来。
"Moon, open your mouth."
zhè yīn líng dān jià zhí bù fēi ， jù liè hǎi péng suǒ yán ， duì yú yīn hún de shāng shì ， yǒu qí xiào ， bù guò yuè ér qíng kuàng tè shū 。 tā shì chōng jī níng dān de shí hòu yīn wèi líng lì fǎn shì ér shòu shāng ， zhè yīn líng dān néng huī jǐ céng dì xiào guǒ ， kǒng pà jiù zhí de zhēn zhuó 。
这阴灵丹价值不菲，据列海鹏所言，对于阴魂的伤势，有奇效，不过月儿情况特殊。她是冲击凝丹的时候因为灵力反噬而受伤，这阴灵丹能挥几层地效果，恐怕就值得斟酌。
"Mm."
dàn jiù suàn wú fǎ zhì yù ， fú xià hòu yě yīng gāi yǒu hǎo zhuǎn cái shì ， xīn zhōng zhè yàng xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān jiāng píng sāi dǎ kāi 。
但就算无法治愈，服下后也应该有好转才是，心中这样想着，林轩将瓶塞打开。
The little ghost nodded, opened her mouth slightly, and sucked in the black mist from the pill.
“ yí ， zhè shì ……”
“咦，这是……”
Then Moon sat cross-legged, placing her hands flat on her abdomen as she began to cultivate and refine the medicinal power. Lin Xuan watched intently without blinking, his usual composure now tinged with anxiety.
yǎn qián de yīn líng dān yǔ xiū zhēn jiè pǔ tōng de líng yào guǒ rán shì dà bù xiāng tóng ， kàn shàng qù jiù xiàng shì yī kē yī kē de shuǐ jīng zhū zi ， bù jǐn tòu míng 。 ér qiě zài zhù zi de biǎo miàn ， hái yǒu yī tuán nóng nóng de wù qì ， jù ér bù sàn ， lín xuān jiàn le ， xiān shì yǒu xiē yì wài ， bù guò shāo yī sī suǒ ， liǎn shàng jiù lù chū liǎo liǎo rán de biǎo qíng lái 。
眼前的阴灵丹与修真界普通的灵药果然是大不相同，看上去就像是一颗一颗的水晶珠子，不仅透明。而且在柱子的表面，还有一团浓浓的雾气，聚而不散，林轩见了，先是有些意外，不过稍一思索，脸上就露出了了然的表情来。
After a long time, Moon opened her eyes. Lin Xuan used his spirit sense to scan her body, showing mixed emotions of hope and disappointment. Indeed, there was some improvement; her injuries had stabilized勉强. However, relying solely on the Yin Spirit Pill's power, it would be nothing more than a distant hope for full recovery.
yào zhī dào yīn hún chú fēi shì dào le guǐ dì nà zhǒng děng jí ， fǒu zé dōu shì yǒu xíng wú tǐ ， yì bān de dān yào 。 zěn me kě néng fú xià qù 。 ér yǎn qián zhè ge ……
要知道阴魂除非是到了鬼帝那种等级，否则都是有形无体，一般的丹药。怎么可能服下去。而眼前这个……
It seemed that they still needed to go to the Ghost King's lair tomorrow.
lín xuān lüè yī yóu yù ， yòng shí zhǐ mǔ zhǐ jiāng nà yīn líng dān jiā qǐ 。 zhǐ jiān wēi yī yòng lì ， dān yào jiù suì liè le qù 。
林轩略一犹豫，用食指拇指将那阴灵丹夹起。指尖微一用力，丹药就碎裂了去。
"Master, I'm sorry. It's all my fault, making you run around and delay your cultivation," the girl said, lowering her head with regret on her face.
“ yuè ér ， zhāng kǒu 。”
“月儿，张口。”
"Don't be silly; since we signed a blood pact, it's my responsibility to take care of you." Lin Xuan smiled gently, his expression softening. "Don't think about it anymore. Take another Yin Spirit Pill to stabilize your condition, and I won't have time tomorrow."
“ ń 。”
“嗯。”
Saying that, Lin Xuan poured out another pill from the jade bottle, which Moon swallowed. She began meditating.
xiǎo yīn hún diǎn le diǎn tóu ， tán kǒu wēi qǐ ， yòng lì yī xī ， jiāng nà dān yào zhōng bāo guǒ de hēi qì xī rù le shēn tǐ lǐ 。
小阴魂点了点头，檀口微启，用力一吸，将那丹药中包裹的黑气吸入了身体里。
Lin Xuan sat down and entered a state of meditation.
rán hòu yuè ér pán xī zuò xià ， shuāng shǒu píng fàng yú xiǎo fù qián ， kāi shǐ yùn gōng liàn huà qǐ yào lì lái ， lín xuān zé yī zhǎ bù zhǎ dì dīng zhe ， suǒ wèi guān xīn zé luàn ， xiàng lái wěn zhòng de tā cǐ kè yě yǒu xiē jǐn zhāng qǐ lái 。
然后月儿盘膝坐下，双手平放于小腹前，开始运功炼化起药力来，林轩则一眨不眨地盯着，所谓关心则乱，向来稳重的他此刻也有些紧张起来。
There was nothing else for the night. The next morning, Lei Haipeng gathered everyone together with a smile on his face: "Seniors, how did you sleep last night? Can we head out now?"
liáng jiǔ ， yuè ér zhēng kāi le yǎn ， lín xuān fàng chū shén shí jiāng tā de shēn tǐ zhuàng kuàng sǎo shì le yī biàn ， biǎo qíng hū yōu hū xǐ ， dàn zuì zhōng hái shì lù chū le shī wàng zhī yì 。 què shí lüè yǒu hǎo zhuǎn ， shāng shì miǎn qiǎng wěn dìng le xià lái ， bù guò jiù píng zhe yīn líng dān dì yào lì ， xiǎng yào yuè ér quán yù ， bù guò shì yī zhǒng shē wàng ér yǐ 。
良久，月儿睁开了眼，林轩放出神识将她的身体状况扫视了一遍，表情忽忧忽喜，但最终还是露出了失望之意。确实略有好转，伤势勉强稳定了下来，不过就凭着阴灵丹地药力，想要月儿痊愈，不过是一种奢望而已。
Everyone naturally agreed. They followed the path they came from to return to the surface and then dispersed, each using their abilities to transform into several streaks of light that pierced through the air.
kàn lái míng tiān qù guǐ wáng de dòng fǔ ， hái shì shì zài bì xíng 。
看来明天去鬼王的洞府，还是势在必行。
Yuan Da Hai approached Lin Xuan again, clearly showing his intent to befriend him. However, he did not urge Lin Xuan to make a decision immediately; instead, they chatted idly for a while.
“ shào yé ， duì bù qǐ ， dōu shì yuè ér rèn xìng ， hài nǐ bù dé bù sì chù bēn bō ， dān gē le xiū xíng 。” shào nǚ dī xià tou ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì qiàn yì 。
“少爷，对不起，都是月儿任性，害你不得不四处奔波，耽搁了修行。”少女低下头，脸上满是歉意。
"Good luck really was on our side this time. With minimal effort, we can obtain such rich rewards."
“ shǎ huà ， jì rán yǔ wǒ qiān le xuè qì ， wǒ dāng rán yǒu zé rèn zhào gù hǎo 。” lín xuān wēi wēi yī xiào ， liǎn shàng lù chū cí hé de biǎo qíng ：“ bú yào hú sī luàn xiǎng le ， zài fú yī lì yīn líng dān ， jiāng shāng shì wěn dìng xià lái ， míng tiān wǒ kě méi yǒu shí jiān zhào gù 。”
“傻话，既然与我签了血契，我当然有责任照顾好。”林轩微微一笑，脸上露出慈和的表情：“不要胡思乱想了，再服一粒阴灵丹，将伤势稳定下来，明天我可没有时间照顾。”
"You're too optimistic," Lin Xuan said calmly, his face showing a hint of worry. "According to what I know, those ghosts aren't easy to deal with, especially monsters like the Ghost King; they are incredibly difficult to handle."
shuō zhe lín xuān yòu yù píng lǐ dào chū yī lì yīn líng dān niē suì ， yuè ér jiāng hēi wù xī rù ， kāi shǐ dǎ zuò 。
说着林轩又玉瓶里倒出一粒阴灵丹捏碎，月儿将黑雾吸入，开始打坐。
"Haha, my brother is overthinking this. The Ghost King may be troublesome, but remember that we outnumber them. Eight condensation core cultivators together can overwhelm the enemy. This mission has no danger and no difficulty," Yuan Da Hai said dismissively.
lín xuān yě zuò xià jìn rù le rù dìng zhī zhōng 。
林轩也坐下进入了入定之中。
"If it really was as easy as you say, why would Seven Extremes Heaven pay such a high price for our help? They are a business alliance with a heritage of over ten thousand years; how could they not have any experts?" Lin Xuan asked doubtfully.
yī yè wú huà ， dì èr tiān ， liè hǎi péng jiù jiāng zhòng rén zhào jí zài le yì qǐ ， liǎn dài wēi xiào de wèn hòu qǐ lái le ：“ gè wèi qián bèi zuó wǎn xiū xī dé rú hé ， wǒ men shì bú shì kě yǐ chū le ？”
一夜无话，第二天，列海鹏就将众人召集在了一起，脸带微笑的问候起来了：“各位前辈昨晚休息得如何，我们是不是可以出了？”
"I'm not sure about that. Seven Extremes Heaven is very mysterious, and their true strength is like looking through mist. However, I suspect that since they can stand for ten thousand years, there must be many experts in the alliance," Yuan Da Hai said. "But don't forget; their business spans all of Youzhou. How could there possibly be seven or eight condensation core cultivators here in this small city?"
"Since that's the case, I thank you all for your assistance. It's getting late, so please rest here and we can head out to the Ghost King's lair early tomorrow."
Lei Haipeng bowed gratefully with a delighted expression on his face. After standing up, he clapped his hands, and instantly four beautiful young maids appeared from outside the room. Although their cultivation levels were ordinary, they indeed lived up to the phrase "delicious to look at."
