shù rì de shí jiān yī huǎng ér guò 。
数rì的时间一晃而过。
Several days passed in a blink.
jīng guò jǐ tiān de xiū xī ， lín xuān chóng xīn biàn dé shén cǎi yì yì 。
经过几天的休息，林轩重新变得神采奕奕。
After several days of rest, Lin Xuan regained his vibrant spirit. Any signs of fatigue were no longer visible. Clearly, his spiritual energy had returned to its peak state.
yī yǎn wàng qù ， zài yě bú jiàn rèn hé pí lèi zhī sè。
一眼望去，再也不见任何疲累之sè。
Considering the time, if he were to normally refine the pills, it should be ready by now—whether successful or not, there should be a result.
xiǎn rán tā de fǎ lì ， yǐ huī fù zhì diān fēng zhuàng tài le 。
显然他的法力，已恢复至巅峰状态了。
With his spirit and vitality restored, staying in this quiet room served no further purpose.
suàn suàn shí jiān ， ruò shì zhèng cháng liàn dān ， rú jīn yě gāi chū lú ， bù lùn chéng gōng hái shì shī bài ， dōu yīng gāi yǒu yí gè jié guǒ 。
算算时间，若是正常炼丹，如今也该出炉，不论成功还是失败，都应该有一个结果。
The Too Void Marvelous Spirit Pill he needed to produce had already been refined. With Nai Long and Hundred Flowers as witnesses, there was no need to worry about the other party breaking their word.
zì jǐ de jīng qì shén jì yǐ huī fù ， jì xù liú zài zhè jìng shì zhōng yě jiù méi yǒu le yòng tú 。
自己的jīng气神既已恢复，继续留在这静室中也就没有了用途。
It was time to settle matters with Tianyin Palace.
duì fāng yào de tài xū miào líng dān yǐ jīng liàn zhì chū ， qiě yǒu nài lóng yǔ bǎi huā zuò wéi jiàn zhèng zhě ， yě bù yòng dān xīn duì fāng shí yán ér féi shén me 。
对方要的太虚妙灵丹已经炼制出，且有鼐龙与百花作为见证者，也不用担心对方食言而肥什么。
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, and a streak of green light enveloped several colorful array flags that appeared. A shimmering golden spirit talisman also materialized before him.
tiān yīn gōng zhī shì ， yīng gāi zuò yí gè liǎo duàn le 。
天音宫之事，应该做一个了断了。
Since this talisman was a divine item, it wasn't a one-time use object but more akin to a treasure talisman. As long as the spiritual energy inside hadn't been depleted, it could be reused repeatedly.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào qīng xiá juǎn guò ， jǐ gān wǔ yán liù sè de zhèn qí fú xiàn ér chū ， suí hòu shēn qián yòu chū xiàn le yī zhāng jīn guāng shǎn shǎn de líng fú 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩袖袍一拂，一道青霞卷过，几杆五颜六sè的阵旗浮现而出，随后身前又出现了一张金光闪闪的灵符。
After storing these items in his arms, Lin Xuan raised his finger again and a loud rumbling sound signaled the opening of the stone door.
zhè fú lù jì shì xiān jiā zhī wù ， zì rán bù kě néng shì yī cì xìng de xiāo hào pǐn le 。
这符箓既是仙家之物，自然不可能是一次xìng的消耗品了。
With a flash of green light, he transformed into a streak of startling brilliance and flew out.
ér shì yǔ fú bǎo xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
而是与符宝相差仿佛。
The surroundings outside remained unchanged. Lin Xuan's gaze swept over them, landing on an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
zhǐ yào lǐ miàn de fǎ lì méi yǒu xiāo hào wán bì ， jiù kě yǐ fǎn fù shǐ yòng de 。
只要里面的法力没有消耗完毕，就可以反复使用的。
This man had unremarkable features but his cultivation level was at the Spirit Transformation stage, making him the chief administrator of Tianyin Palace in this area for refining pills.
jiāng zhè xiē dōng xī shōu rù huái lǐ ， lín xuān zài cì tái qǐ shǒu lái ， yī zhǐ diǎn chū ， hōng lōng lóng shí mén kāi qǐ de shēng yīn dà zuò 。
将这些东西收入怀里，林轩再次抬起手来，一指点出，轰隆隆石门开启的声音大做。
They had met briefly before, and it was he who arranged that quiet room where Lin Xuan used to refine pills.
suí hòu lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng yī shǎn ， huà wèi yī lǚ jīng hóng fēi chū qù le 。
随后林轩浑身青芒一闪，化为一缕惊虹飞出去了。
"Salutations, Senior."
wài miàn jǐng wù yī jiù ， bìng wú bù tuǒ 。
外面景物依旧，并无不妥。
"No need. Lead me to where your esteemed elders are."
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， jiù kàn jiàn yī róng mào píng fán de zhōng nián rén le 。
林轩目光扫过，就看见一容貌平凡的中年人了。
Lin Xuan said indifferently.
cǐ rén róng mào píng píng wú qí ， xiū wèi què yǐ dào le fēn shén qī ， nǎi shì tiān yīn gōng zài zhè liàn dān zhī dì de zhǔ shì zhě 。
此人容貌平平无奇，修为却已到了分神期，乃是天音宫在这炼丹之地的主事者。
Though there were grievances between them, there was no need to make things difficult for the junior cultivators.
yǔ lín xuān céng yǒu guò yí miàn zhī yuán ， dāng chū nà jiān liàn dān suǒ yòng de jìng shì ， jiù shì yóu tā yī shǒu ān pái 。
与林轩曾有过一面之缘，当初那间炼丹所用的静室，就是由他一手安排。
"Yes."
“ gěi qián bèi jiàn lǐ 。”
“给前辈见礼。”
The middle-aged man nodded and then took off towards the horizon with a burst of green light.
“ bù yòng ， guì gōng zhū wèi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo zài hé chù ， dài wǒ qù jiù xíng le 。”
“不用，贵宫诸位太上长老在何处，带我去就行了。”
Lin Xuan showed no expression as he followed silently behind.
lín xuān dàn dàn de shuō 。
林轩淡淡的说。
They arrived quickly. The grand hall seemed familiar; it had been discussed just several days ago in this very building.
tā yǔ tiān yīn gōng suī ēn yuàn jiū gé ， dàn yě méi yǒu bì yào wéi nán xià miàn de xiǎo xiū xiān zhě 。
他与天音宫虽恩怨纠葛，但也没有必要为难下面的小修仙者。
"Senior, please. Your esteemed uncles are here. As for me, I will not enter."
zhōng nián rén yě bù duō shuō ， diǎn diǎn tóu lú 。 suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng dà zuò ， jiù zhè yàng cháo zhe tiān biān fēi lüè ér qù le 。
中年人也不多说，点点头颅。随后浑身青芒大做，就这样朝着天边飞掠而去了。
Lin Xuan said without hesitation and stepped into the building.
lín xuān liǎn shàng sī háo biǎo qíng yě wú ， bù shēng bù xiǎng de gēn zài shēn cè 。
林轩脸上丝毫表情也无，不声不响的跟在身侧。
He acted decisively. However, Lin Xuan dared to do so because of two reasons: his high skill level gave him confidence; secondly, Tianyin Palace was renowned, with Nai Long and Hundred Flowers as witnesses, making it highly unlikely for any underhanded dealings.
hěn kuài jiù dào le ， zhè dà diàn yǒu xiē yǎn shú ， shù rì qián shāng yì ， jiù shì zài zhè dòng jiàn zhù 。
很快就到了，这大殿有些眼熟，数rì前商议，就是在这栋建筑。
With such assurance, Lin Xuan entered boldly.
“ qián bèi qǐng ， zhū wèi shī shū ， jiù zài cǐ chù ， zhì yú wǎn bèi ， jiù bù jìn qù le 。”
“前辈请，诸位师叔，就在此处，至于晚辈，就不进去了。”
Just as he had predicted, there were no hidden traps. The scene in the hall mirrored what happened that day.
“ nǐ zì biàn hǎo le 。”
“你自便好了。”
The Tianyin Palace's veteran cultivators, except for the elusive Elder, all gathered here, including the palace master. Nai Long and Hundred Flowers, as witnesses, couldn't have missed this gathering.
lín xuān zì rán sī háo yì yì yě wú 。 yě méi yǒu xìng qù tóng tā zài zhè lǐ luō suo ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jiù jìn le zhè dòng jiàn zhù 。
林轩自然丝毫异议也无。也没有兴趣同他在这里啰嗦，身形一闪，就进了这栋建筑。
As Lin Xuan approached the entrance, everyone's gaze focused on him.
xíng shì gān cuì lì suǒ 。 bù guò lín xuān gǎn zhè me zuò ， yě shì yǒu yuán yóu de 。
行事干脆利索。不过林轩敢这么做，也是有缘由的。
"Master."
yī shì yì gāo rén dǎn dà 。
一是艺高人胆大。
There was a gasp from Ouyang Qinxin who had arrived beside him, her face filled with concern.
dì èr zé shì tiān yīn gōng shēng míng xiǎn hè ， yòu yǒu nài lóng zhēn rén yǔ bǎi huā xiān zi zài cǐ jiān zuò wéi jiàn zhèng zhě ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， duì fāng dōu bú huì xíng nà xiāo xiǎo zhī shì de 。
第二则是天音宫声名显赫，又有鼐龙真人与百花仙子在此间作为见证者，于情于理，对方都不会行那宵小之事的。
Apart from some anxiety, she looked quite well. It seemed that Tianyin Fairy had fulfilled her promise and treated Ouyang Qinxin and Qin Yu as honored guests these past days.
jì yǒu bǎ wò 。 lín xuān dāng rán yě jiù tǎn tǎn dàng dàng de jìn qù le 。
既有把握。林轩当然也就坦坦荡荡的进去了。
"Do not worry."
guǒ rán rú tā de cāi cè ， sī háo mái fú yě wú 。
果然如他的猜测，丝毫埋伏也无。
Lin Xuan gave his wife a reassuring look before walking into the hall confidently.
ér dà diàn zhōng ， yǔ dāng rì de qíng jǐng xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
而大殿中，与当rì的情景相差仿佛。
Seeing Lin Xuan's composed demeanor, Tianyin Fairy couldn't help but feel uncertain. This young man showed no signs of nervousness.
tiān yīn gōng zhū wèi dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， chú le nà wèi xíng zōng piāo hū de dà zhǎng lǎo ， qí yú zhī rén ， bāo kuò gōng zhǔ 。 xī shù dōu dào le cǐ chù 。
天音宫诸位渡劫级别的老怪物，除了那位行踪飘忽的大长老，其余之人，包括宫主。悉数都到了此处。
Was he genuinely calm or had he truly fulfilled his promise?
nài lóng bǎi huā zuò wéi jiàn zhèng zhě ， zì rán gèng bù kě néng yǒu quē xí yī shuō 。
鼐龙百花作为见证者，自然更不可能有缺席一说。
Impossible!
dāng lín xuān lái dào mén kǒu ， suǒ yǒu rén de mù guāng 。 quán dōu jù jiāo dào le tā de shēn shàng 。
当林轩来到门口，所有人的目光。全都聚焦到了他的身上。
Though the ingredients for the Too Void Marvelous Spirit Pill could be gathered in the spirit realm, the finished pill was a divine item. Even with a master alchemist's efforts, the success rate was only one in ten thousand.
“ fū jūn 。”
“夫君。”
Lin Xuan, despite his expertise in alchemy, couldn't possibly have such luck.
gèng yǒu jīng hū chuán rù ěr duǒ ， ōu yáng qín xīn yǐ lái dào shēn cè ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì dān yōu yǔ guān xīn zhī sè。
更有惊呼传入耳朵，欧阳琴心已来到身侧，脸上满是担忧与关心之sè。
It must just be an attempt to bluff, she thought disdainfully. This young man is merely pretending to be calm.
bù guò chú le biǎo qíng yǒu xiē jiāo lǜ zhī wài ， qì sè hái shì hěn bú cuò ， xiǎn rán 。 tiān yīn xiān zi duì xiàn le chéng nuò ， zhè xiē tiān 。 yì zhí shì jiāng ōu yáng qín xīn yǔ qín yú dàng zuò guì bīn zài duì dài de 。
不过除了表情有些焦虑之外，气sè还是很不错，显然。天音仙子兑现了承诺，这些天。一直是将欧阳琴心与秦渔当作贵宾在对待的。
What could it achieve?
“ bù yòng dān yōu 。”
“不用担忧。”
In front of the palace, he wouldn't dare play any tricks. The result would only end up backfiring and being exposed soon enough.
lín xuān chōng zhe ài qī shǐ le yí gè ān xīn de yǎn sè， suí hòu áng shǒu tǐng xiōng de lái dào dà diàn lǐ miàn le 。
林轩冲着爱妻使了一个安心的眼sè，随后昂首挺胸的来到大殿里面了。
Tianyin Fairy's thoughts raced as she quickly regained her composure, even with a hint of amusement in her gaze, as if waiting for a good show to unfold.
jiàn lín xuān biǎo qíng cóng róng ， tiān yīn xiān zi xīn zhōng yě bù yóu de yǒu xiē dí gū 。
见林轩表情从容，天音仙子心中也不由得有些嘀咕。
The other senior elders from Tianyin Palace had various expressions too.
zhè xiǎo zi méi shāo yǎn jiǎo ， yì diǎn yě bú jiàn huāng zhāng zhī sè。
这小子眉梢眼角，一点也不见慌张之sè。
The grand hall was eerily silent, the air seemed frozen. But Lin Xuan showed no signs of discomfort, his expression smug and self-assured. He casually took an empty wooden chair and sat down with satisfaction.
jiū jìng shì gù zuò cóng róng ， hái shì dàng zhēn duì xiàn le chéng nuò ？
究竟是故做从容，还是当真兑现了承诺？
Such a composed demeanor left Tianyin Fairy stunned. She began to doubt her initial assumptions.
bù kě néng ！
不可能！
His actions didn't seem like he was pretending to be calm. Could it be that he truly had such good luck, accidentally refining the Too Void Marvelous Spirit Pill?
tài xū miào líng dān de yuán liào suī zài líng jiè jiù kě còu zú ， rán ér chéng pǐn dān què kān chēng shì xiān jiā zhī wù ， jí biàn shì liàn dān zōng shī chū shǒu ， chéng gōng lǜ yě bù guò wàn fēn zhī yī bà le 。
太虚妙灵丹的原料虽在灵界就可凑足，然而成品丹却堪称是仙家之物，即便是炼丹宗师出手，成功率也不过万分之一罢了。
These thoughts made the palace master herself feel restless.
lín xiǎo zi jiù suàn jīng shàn liàn dān shù ， yě jué bù kě néng yǒu zhè yàng de shì lái zhe 。
林小子就算jīng擅炼丹术，也绝不可能有这样的事来着。
Taking a deep breath, she spoke in an icy voice.
xū zhāng shēng shì ， hēng ， zhè xiǎo zi yí dìng shì zài gù zuò zhèn jìng ér yǐ 。
虚张声势，哼，这小子一定是在故作镇静而已。
"Friend Lin, the agreed time has passed. Have you refined the promised medicinal pills?"
yòu yǒu shén me yòng tú ？
又有什么用途？
The other party was straightforward and direct, immediately bringing up the promise. This way, even if Lin Xuan had any tricks, he couldn't play them out.
zài gōng miàn qián nán dào hái xiǎng yào wán shén me bǎ xì me 。
在宫面前难道还想要玩什么把戏么。
Before her words were fully spoken, everyone's gaze turned back to him.
zuì hòu de jié guǒ bù guò shì bān qǐ shí tou zá zì jǐ de jiǎo ， hěn kuài jiù huì bèi chuō chuān diào 。
最后的结果不过是搬起石头砸自己的脚，很快就会被戳穿掉。
Even Nai Long and Hundred Flowers showed concern in their expressions; Lin Xuan's composure was too unsettling.
tiān yīn xiān zi nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， hěn kuài jiù qì dìng shén xián qǐ lái ， bù jǐn rú cǐ ， tā de mù guāng ， hái dài zhe jǐ fēn wán wèi zhī yì ， fǎng fú zài děng zhe kàn yī cháng hǎo xì 。
天音仙子脑海中念头转过，很快就气定神闲起来，不仅如此，她的目光，还带着几分玩味之意，仿佛在等着看一场好戏。
Could it be that he truly refined the Too Void Marvelous Spirit Pill through sheer luck?
zhì yú tiān yīn gōng qí tā tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， biǎo qíng yě shì gè yì 。
至于天音宫其他太上长老，表情也是各异。
After all, a one-in-ten-thousand chance might still hold some hope if his fortune was good enough.
dà tīng zhōng jìng dé zhēn luò kě wén ， kōng qì fǎng fú níng gù ， rán ér lín xuān fǎng fú sī háo gǎn chù yě wú ， biǎo qíng chūn fēng dé yì ， suí biàn zhǎo le yī zhāng kōng zhe de mù yǐ ， dé yì yáng yáng de zuò le xià qù 。
大厅中静得针落可闻，空气仿佛凝固，然而林轩仿佛丝毫感触也无，表情chūn风得意，随便找了一张空着的木椅，得意洋洋的坐了下去。
Lin Xuan smiled but didn't speak. Instead, he reached into his waist and tapped it, causing a flash of spiritual light. An jade bottle appeared before Tianyin Fairy's eyes.
rú cǐ tǎn rán ， ràng tiān yīn xiān zi yī dāi ， bù yóu de duì zì jǐ yuán xiān de cāi cè ， huái yí le qǐ lái 。
如此坦然，让天音仙子一呆，不由得对自己原先的猜测，怀疑了起来。
The bottle was enveloped in a layer of spiritual light as if it had a life of its own, flying to the front of Tianyin Fairy.
zhè xiǎo zi biǎo qíng dòng zuò ， shí zài bù xiàng shì zài gù zuò zhèn jìng shén me ， nán dào tā zhēn yùn qì hǎo dào rú cǐ dì bù ，yīn cuò yáng chà de jiāng tài xū miào líng dān liàn zhì chū lái le 。
这小子表情动作，实在不像是在故作镇静什么，难道他真运气好到如此地步，yīn错阳差的将太虚妙灵丹炼制出来了。
"Whether I can fulfill my promise, you can open and see for yourself," Lin Xuan said calmly.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， tiān yīn gōng zhǔ zì jǐ ， dào yǒu xiē chén bú zhù qì 。
念及至此，天音宫主自己，倒有些沉不住气。
"What...?"
shēn shēn hū xī ， bīng lěng de shēng yīn zài dà tīng zhōng fú xiàn ér qǐ 。
深深呼吸，冰冷的声音在大厅中浮现而起。
Tianyin Fairy was speechless. She never expected things to reach this point.
“ lín dào yǒu ， yuē dìng de shí jiān yǐ guò ， nǐ chéng nuò de dān yào ， kě liàn zhì hǎo le ？”
“林道友，约定的时间已过，你承诺的丹药，可炼制好了？”
She had been straightforward in her approach, hoping to leave Lin Xuan with no way out or excuse. But Lin Xuan showed no hesitation, directly handing over the treasure.
duì fāng dǎo shì yì diǎn yě bù hán hù ， kāi mén jiàn shān jiù tí chū le chéng nuò ， zhè yàng de huà ， lín xuān jí biàn yǒu shén me huā zhāo yě shī zhǎn bù chū 。
对方倒是一点也不含糊，开门见山就提出了承诺，这样的话，林轩即便有什么花招也施展不出。
Could it be that he truly refined the Too Void Marvelous Spirit Pill through sheer luck?
huà yīn wèi luò ， suǒ yǒu rén de mù guāng zài cì tóu guò lái le 。
话音未落，所有人的目光再次投过来了。
Impossible! His alchemy skills couldn't possibly have reached such a level.
biàn shì nài lóng zhēn rén yǔ bǎi huā xiān zi ， biǎo qíng zhōng yě tòu zhe guān zhù ， lín xuān de biǎo xiàn shí zài tài zhèn dìng le 。
便是鼐龙真人与百花仙子，表情中也透着关注，林轩的表现实在太镇定了。
Or could it be that he originally had this treasure and was thus able to hand it over with ease?
nán dào shuō ， tā dàng zhēn jī yuán qiǎo hé ， jiāng tài xū miào líng dān liàn zhì ér chū 。
难道说，他当真机缘巧合，将太虚妙灵丹炼制而出。
Tianyin Fairy considered another possibility but quickly shook her head. After all, she proposed the topic of refining the Too Void Marvelous Spirit Pill; there was no way he would have known in advance.
bì jìng wàn fēn zhī yī de jī lǜ suī rán miǎo máng ， dàn zhǐ yào yùn dào bù cuò ， xī wàng hái shì yǒu de 。
毕竟万分之一的几率虽然渺茫，但只要运道不错，希望还是有的。
"Why not open it if you're not after the medicinal herbs? Lin Xuan has brought them out now."
lín xuān xiào le xiào ， yě bù kāi kǒu ， ér shì shēn chū suí hòu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， líng guāng yī shǎn ， yí gè yù píng yìng rù yǎn lián 。
林轩笑了笑，也不开口，而是伸出随后来，在腰间一拍，随着他的动作，灵光一闪，一个玉瓶映入眼帘。
P.S.: Sorry, my baby is sick and has been running a high fever. I'm extremely anxious and can't focus on writing right now. I went to the hospital twice today during the double update period. Facing such an issue makes me feel terrible too. Fellow daoists, really, I am very sorry! Please forgive me. I will work harder once my son gets better.
Several days passed in a blink.
After several days of rest, Lin Xuan regained his vibrant spirit. Any signs of fatigue were no longer visible. Clearly, his spiritual energy had returned to its peak state.
Considering the time, if he were to normally refine the pills, it should be ready by now—whether successful or not, there should be a result.

There was a gasp from Ouyang Qinxin who had arrived beside him, her face filled with concern.
