..bsp; 反客为主，林轩淡淡的声音传入耳朵，似乎分毫情绪也无，然而却又蕴含得又几分嘲弄之sè。
Lin Xuan's calm voice echoed in his ears, devoid of any emotion yet carrying a hint of mockery. The other party had deliberately set this difficult trap to covet his treasures, but he easily broke it, ending up with more trouble than he bargained for.
duì fāng xiǎng yào tú móu zì jǐ de bǎo wù ， gù yì chū cǐ nán tí ， rán ér què bèi zì jǐ qīng sōng pò qù ， tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ ， kě yǐ shuō shì yú chǔn zhī jí 。
对方想要图谋自己的宝物，故意出此难题，然而却被自己轻松破去，偷鸡不成蚀把米，可以说是愚蠢之极。
"You..."
“ nǐ ……”
“你……”
The Heavenly Sound Fairy was furious. As an advanced cultivator who had weathered the Tribulation, she was always respected wherever she went. She had never before endured such insults.
tiān yīn xiān zi dà nù 。
天音仙子大怒。
This brat was simply too bold and overconfident.
zuò wèi dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， tā zǒu dào nǎ lǐ ， dōu shòu rén zūn chóng ， hé shí shòu guò zhè zhǒng xī luò 。
做为渡劫后期的修仙者，她走到哪里，都受人尊崇，何时受过这种奚落。
However, despite her anger, she couldn't do anything to Lin Xuan. Master Dragon Realman and Fairy Hundred Flowers were seated beside her. They already had a considerable amount of support for Lin Xuan as witnesses; they would not allow him to bully others with his power.
zhè xiǎo zi jiǎn zhí tài dǎn dà bāo tiān le 。
这小子简直太胆大包天了。
Taking a deep breath, the Heavenly Sound Palace's leader suppressed her anger. She flicked her sleeves, and a sound echoed in her ears as the bottle cap was removed. She turned the jade bottle over, revealing a pill the size of a lychee.
bù guò nù guī nù ， tā yě bù néng ná lín xuān rú hé ， nài lóng zhēn rén yǔ bǎi huā xiān zi jiù zuò zài shēn cè ， liǎng rén yuán běn jiù duì lín xuān pǒ duō wéi hù ， zuò wèi jiàn zhèng zhě ， zì rán gèng bú huì rèn yóu zì jǐ zhàng shì qī rén de 。
不过怒归怒，她也不能拿林轩如何，鼐龙真人与百花仙子就坐在身侧，两人原本就对林轩颇多维护，做为见证者，自然更不会任由自己仗势欺人的。
The pill was white, but it emitted a rainbow of light from its surface. Countless tiny runes surrounded it, faintly visible as they burst forth.
shēn shēn hū xī ， tiān yīn gōng zhǔ yā xià xīn zhōng de nù yì ， xiù páo yī fú ， pā dā yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， píng sāi dǎ kāi ， tā jiāng yù píng dào zhuǎn ， yī lì lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de xiān dān yìng rù yǎn lián 。..
深深呼吸，天音宫主压下心中的怒意，袖袍一拂，啪嗒一声传入耳朵，瓶塞打开，她将玉瓶倒转，一粒龙眼大小的仙丹映入眼帘。..
A refreshing aroma permeated everyone's nostrils, making them feel refreshed and at ease.
dān yào nǎi jié bái zhī wù ， rán ér biǎo miàn què yǒu wǔ yán liù sè de guāng yùn sàn fà ér chū ， wú shù bǐ mǐ lì gèng jiā xì xiǎo de fú wén ， rào zhe tā ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de pēn bó 。
丹药乃洁白之物，然而表面却有五颜六sè的光晕散发而出，无数比米粒更加细小的符文，绕着它若隐若现的喷薄。
The scent was so pleasant that even just one whiff made all their fatigue vanish.
qìn rén xīn pí de xiāng qì ， zuān rù měi yí gè rén de bí duān lǐ ， ràng rén xīn kuàng shén yí 。
沁人心脾的香气，钻入每一个人的鼻端里，让人心旷神怡。
Indeed, this was a divine object; the mere fragrance alone had such an unbelievable effect.
nà xiāng qì shì rú cǐ de shū fú ， wén shàng yī kǒu jìng rán ràng hún shēn de pí bèi dōu xiāo shī le 。
那香气是如此的舒服，闻上一口竟然让浑身的疲惫都消失了。
"Too Void Marvelous Spirit Pill. You... you actually succeeded in creating such a miraculous substance."
bù kuì shì xiān jiā zhī wù ， guāng shì sàn fà chū lái de xiāng wèi ér jiù yǒu rú cǐ bù kě sī yì de xiào guǒ 。
不愧是仙家之物，光是散发出来的香味儿就有如此不可思议的效果。
The Heavenly Sound Fairy's eyes widened in disbelief. Despite Lin Xuan's composed expression, she already suspected his intentions. However, speculation remained just that—until one saw it with their own eyes, no one could be certain.
“ tài xū miào líng dān ， nǐ …… nǐ jìng rán zhēn de chéng gōng le ， liàn zhì chū le rú cǐ shén wù 。”
“太虚妙灵丹，你……你竟然真的成功了，炼制出了如此神物。”
After all, the fame of this pill was immense, and its difficulty to create was well-known.
tiān yīn xiān zi yǎn jīng dèng dé dà dà de ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì bù kě sī yì zhī shì 。
天音仙子眼睛瞪得大大的，脸上满是不可思议之事。
While it wasn't impossible, even for a master alchemist, the chances were incredibly slim.
jǐn guǎn lín xuān biǎo qíng cóng róng bù pò ， ràng tā xīn zhōng zǎo yǐ yǒu le jǐ fēn chuǎi mó ， rán ér cāi cè bì jìng shì cāi cè ， bù qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， shuí yě bù gǎn shuō ， jiù yí dìng bú huì fā shēng biàn gù 。
尽管林轩表情从容不迫，让她心中早已有了几分揣摩，然而猜测毕竟是猜测，不亲眼目睹，谁也不敢说，就一定不会发生变故。
And yet, Lin Xuan succeeded.
bì jìng zhè dān yào de míng qì tài dà le ， liàn zhì de nán dù ， nà yě shì zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī de 。
毕竟这丹药的名气太大了，炼制的难度，那也是众所周知的。
This boy's luck truly made him enviable. Or perhaps his alchemy skills had reached the level of a true Immortal?
bù gǎn shuō jī huì quán wú 。 kě jí biàn shì liàn dān shù dào le chū shén rù huà de dì bù ， xiǎng yào liàn zhì chū cǐ wù ， jī huì yě miǎo máng dé jǐn de 。
不敢说机会全无。可即便是炼丹术到了出神入化的地步，想要炼制出此物，机会也渺茫得紧的。
These thoughts swirled in her mind, making her feel absurdly plausible.
ér lín xuān jū rán chéng gōng le 。
而林轩居然成功了。
But it seemed to be the most reasonable explanation.
zhè xiǎo zi de yùn dào ， dàng zhēn lìng rén xiàn mù ， hái shì shuō ， tā de liàn dān shù ， yǐ jīng kān bǐ zhēn xiān le ？
这小子的运道，当真令人羡慕，还是说，他的炼丹术，已经堪比真仙了？
After all, from the start, Lin Xuan had shown complete confidence in an almost impossible task. If he didn't have any grasp on success and was just betting on luck, that would be too preposterous.
zhè ge niàn tou zài nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò ， tiān yīn xiān zi zì jǐ dōu jué de lí pǔ 。
这个念头在脑海中转过，天音仙子自己都觉得离谱。
Could this boy's alchemy skills have reached the legendary realm?
dàn sì hū què shì zuì hé lǐ de jiě shì le 。
但似乎却是最合理的解释了。
The Heavenly Sound Fairy's expression changed drastically, her lips curling into a warm smile. There was no trace of hostility left.
bì jìng lín xuān cóng yī kāi shǐ ， jiù duì zhè jī hū bù kě néng wán chéng de rèn wù ， biǎo xiàn dé xìn xīn shí zú 。 ruò shuō tā méi yǒu bǎ wò ， jǐn jǐn shì xiǎng yào dǔ yī dǔ yùn qì ， zhè wèi miǎn tài huāng miù 。
毕竟林轩从一开始，就对这几乎不可能完成的任务，表现得信心十足。若说他没有把握，仅仅是想要赌一赌运气，这未免太荒谬。
Not only did she feel this way; the other Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Sound Palace also changed their attitude. Compared to before, it was an about-face of 180 degrees.
nán dào shuō ， zhè xiǎo zi de liàn dān shù ， yǐ jīng dào le chuán shuō zhōng de nà ge jìng jiè le 。
难道说，这小子的炼丹术，已经到了传说中的那个境界了。
They had thought of a possibility:
tiān yīn xiān zi xīn zhōng yī dòng ， kàn xiàng lín xuān de biǎo qíng ， yě zì bù tóng 。
天音仙子心中一动，看像林轩的表情，也自不同。
A Master Alchemist!
tài xū miào líng dān nǎi xiān jiā zhī wù ， kě tā de yuán liào ， qí shí zài líng jiè yì néng còu zú 。 zhǐ bù guò chū dān lǜ tài dī ……
太虚妙灵丹乃仙家之物，可它的原料，其实在灵界亦能凑足。只不过出丹率太低……
These legendary cultivators appeared in ancient times, with few records or legends, no more than three.
zhè shì dà jiā rú jīn de rèn zhī 。
这是大家如今的认知。
Each one was fleeting, leaving behind commendable alchemy techniques.
rán ér zài shàng gǔ zhī shí ， bìng fēi rú cǐ 。
然而在上古之时，并非如此。
Since the last Master Alchemist disappeared half a million years ago, the cultivation world hadn't seen such extraordinary figures since.
nà shí hòu ， céng jīng chū xiàn guò chuán shuō zhōng de liàn dān shén shī 。
那时候，曾经出现过传说中的炼丹神师。
Other cultivators, even if they were deeply interested in alchemy, found it useless. No matter how much they studied, they couldn't advance to the level of a Master Alchemist.
liàn dān shén shī ， qí liàn dān shù yǔ rú jīn de zōng shī bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
炼丹神师，其炼丹术与如今的宗师不可同rì而语。
It required both effort and talent.
yǐ jīng dào le chū shén rù huà de jìng dì 。
已经到了出神入化的境地。
Just as those without Spirit Roots could still embark on the path of cultivation, but their achievements would always be limited, this was no different.
ruò shì yóu tā men jīng shǒu liàn zhì 。 tài xū miào líng dān suī rán shén qí ， chū dān lǜ yě huì yǒu shí fēn zhī yī 。
若是由他们经手炼制。太虚妙灵丹虽然神奇，出丹率也会有十分之一。
A Master Alchemist was also like that, but the exact kind of talent needed remained unknown.
méi cuò ， shí fēn zhī yī 。
没错，十分之一。
Master Alchemists had long become a legend.
zhè xiǎo zi zhǎo zì jǐ yào shí fèn cái liào ， nán dào shuō bú shì qiǎo hé ？
这小子找自己要十份材料，难道说不是巧合？
In ancient times, they were esteemed guests at the tables of Loose Immortals and Demon Kings. Even King Asura showed great respect, and True Demon Ancestor didn't dare to show any disrespect or contempt.
tā yī kāi shǐ 。 jiù suàn jì hǎo le ？
他一开始。就算计好了？
This wasn't mere idle talk; legends spoke of one Master Alchemist who was only at the Yuan婴 stage, yet these three realms' top existences still showed no disrespect.
zhè xiǎo zi shì chuán shuō zhōng de liàn dān shén shī 。
这小子是传说中的炼丹神师。
After all, divine herbs were rare. Regardless of his cultivation level, just his unparalleled alchemy skills alone were enough to earn everyone's respect and admiration.
tiān yīn xiān zi de liǎn sè biàn dé qí guài yǐ jí ， zuǐ jiǎo biān jìng duī mǎn le hé xù de xiào yì ， nǎ lǐ hái kàn dé dào yī sī yī háo de dí yì 。
天音仙子的脸sè变得奇怪以极，嘴角边竟堆满了和煦的笑意，哪里还看得到一丝一毫的敌意。
No one would offend such a person.
bù zhǐ tā rú cǐ 。
不止她如此。
The Heavenly Sound Fairy's thoughts raced as she felt beads of cold sweat form on her back. If Lin Xuan was indeed a Master Alchemist, the grudge between them and Fairy Too Void would be trivial.
tiān yīn gōng qí tā tài shàng zhǎng lǎo de tài dù 。 yě yǒu le zhuǎn biàn ， yǔ gāng gāng xiāng bǐ ， kě yǐ shuō shì yī bǎi bā shí dù de zhuǎn wān 。
天音宫其他太上长老的态度。也有了转变，与刚刚相比，可以说是一百八十度的转弯。
They weren't fools; they wouldn't risk offending a middle-stage Tribulation cultivator for such a minor issue.
yīn wèi tā men dōu xiǎng dào le yí gè kě néng xìng。
因为他们都想到了一个可能xìng。
Instead, they should try to befriend Lin Xuan.
liàn dān shén shī ！
炼丹神师！
The benefits of befriending a Master Alchemist were endless. From a certain perspective, it might even be more advantageous than acquiring two先天灵宝.
zhè zhǒng chuán shuō zhōng de xiū shì 。
这种传说中的修士。
After all, while先天灵宝were rare and valuable, their purpose was merely to enhance one's strength.
liàn dān shén shī chū xiàn yú shàng gǔ ， bù lùn shì jì zǎi ， hái shì chuán shuō ， dōu liáo liáo kě shǔ ， bù chāo guò sān gè 。
炼丹神师出现于上古，不论是记载，还是传说，都寥寥可数，不超过三个。
But compared to advancing in cultivation, how could any先天灵宝 match that?
ér qiě měi yí gè dōu tán huā yī xiàn ， zhǐ liú xià lìng rén chēng dào de liàn dān shù 。
而且每一个都昙花一现，只留下令人称道的炼丹术。
At the Tribulation stage, increasing even a little power was incredibly difficult. Let alone breaking through barriers to advance another level.
zì cóng wǔ bǎi wàn nián qián ， zuì hòu yí gè liàn dān shén shī xiāo shī ， xiū xiān jiè jiù zài yě méi yǒu chū xiàn guò zhè yàng de qí rén yì shì 。
自从五百万年前，最后一个炼丹神师消失，修仙界就再也没有出现过这样的奇人异士。
It required both effort and suitable opportunities. Useful divine pills were also rare and hard to come by.
qí yú de xiū xiān zhě ， zài zuì xīn yú liàn dān shù ， yě méi yǒu yòng tú ， bù lùn tā men zěn me zuān yán ， dōu bù kě néng jìn jí dào liàn dān shén shī de dì bù 。
其余的修仙者，再醉心于炼丹术，也没有用途，不论他们怎么钻研，都不可能晋级到炼丹神师的地步。
Indeed, they were rare and hard to come by.
nà bù jǐn xū yào nǔ lì ， hái xū yào tiān fù 。
那不仅需要努力，还需要天赋。
From this description, one could easily imagine their rarity. But with the support of a Master Alchemist, many things would transform from mundane to extraordinary.
jiù rú tóng méi yǒu líng gēn zhī rén ， kě yǐ zǒu shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， rán ér chéng jiù ， shǐ zhōng shì yǒu xiàn de ， zhè dào lǐ shì yī yàng de 。
就如同没有灵根之人，可以走上修仙之路，然而成就，始终是有限的，这道理是一样的。
This wasn't idle talk; the Heavenly Sound Palace inherited its legacy from ancient times, with immense depth.
liàn dān shén shī ， yì shì rú cǐ ， kě jiū jìng xū yào zěn yàng de tiān fù ， què shì wú rén dé zhī de 。
炼丹神师，亦是如此，可究竟需要怎样的天赋，却是无人得知的。
Such a major faction should be able to gather the ingredients for useful divine pills at great effort. The key was in the refinement process—low success rates.
liàn dān shén shī ， zǎo yǐ chéng wéi le yí gè chuán shuō 。
炼丹神师，早已成为了一个传说。
But if a Master Alchemist could assist, all these difficulties would naturally be resolved.
zài shàng gǔ zhī shí ， tā men céng shì sàn xiān yāo wáng de zuò shàng kè ， biàn shì ā xiū luó wáng ， yě lǐ jìng yǒu jiā ， zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， tóng yàng bù gǎn yǒu rèn hé dài màn qīng shì zhī sè。
在上古之时，他们曾是散仙妖王的座上客，便是阿修罗王，也礼敬有加，真魔始祖，同样不敢有任何怠慢轻视之sè。
Indeed, challenges wouldn't be an issue; the key was gaining Lin Xuan's friendship.
zhè kě bú shì hú yán luàn yǔ ， chuán shuō ， qí zhōng yǒu yī wèi liàn dān shén shī xiū wèi bù guò yuán yīng qī ， kě zhè xiē sān jiè zuì dǐng jí de cún zài yī jiù bù gǎn yǒu rèn hé bù jìng zhī yì 。
这可不是胡言乱语，传说，其中有一位炼丹神师修为不过元婴期，可这些三界最顶级的存在依旧不敢有任何不敬之意。
The Heavenly Sound Fairy's expression turned gloomy as she thought this through.
bì jìng líng yào nán dé ， guǎn tā xiū wèi rú hé ， jiù píng zhe tā nà chū shén rù huà de liàn dān shù ， jiù zú yǐ lìng suǒ yǒu rén zūn jìng yǔ pèi fú 。
毕竟灵药难得，管他修为如何，就凭着他那出神入化的炼丹术，就足以令所有人尊敬与佩服。
She felt deeply regretful.
méi yǒu rén huì dé zuì zhè yàng de rén wù 。
没有人会得罪这样的人物。
"Why didn't I know earlier?"
tiān yīn xiān zi nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， bèi hòu yǐ shì lěng hàn lín lí ， lín xuān ruò zhēn de shì liàn dān shén shī ， yǔ miào yīn xiān zi jiān de chóu yuàn zì rán méi shén me liǎo bù qǐ 。
天音仙子脑海中念头转过，背后已是冷汗淋漓，林轩若真的是炼丹神师，与妙音仙子间的仇怨自然没什么了不起。
If only she had known Lin Xuan was a Master Alchemist, even if Fairy Too Void fell, she would never have pursued any grudges.
tā men yòu bù shǎ ， qǐ huì wèi le qù qū qū yī dù jié zhōng qī de cún zài yǔ liàn dān shén shī wèi dí 。
他们又不傻，岂会为了去区区一渡劫中期的存在与炼丹神师为敌。
Now that they were at odds with Lin Xuan, repairing their relationship would be much harder. (To be continued...)
nà yàng zuò ， yú bù kě jí 。
那样做，愚不可及。
