“ hēi ， sān dà sàn xiān ， sān dà yāo wáng ， suī rán shí lì dōu fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn tā men zhī jiān ， qí shí yě yǒu qiáng yǒu ruò 。”
“嘿，三大散仙，三大妖王，虽然实力都非同小可，但他们之间，其实也有强有弱。”
"Hey, the Three Loose Immortals and the Three Demon Kings, although their strength is formidable, there are still differences among them."
mó zú dà tǒng lǐng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tián xiǎo jiàn tīng le ， liǎn shàng yì lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè 。
魔族大统领的声音传入耳朵，田小剑听了，脸上亦露出若有所思之色。
The voice of the Demon Lord rang in his ears. Upon hearing it, Tian Xiaojian's face showed a thoughtful expression.
qí shí mó jiè yǔ yīn sī dì fǔ ， qíng kuàng hé cháng bú shì xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
其实魔界与阴司地府，情况何尝不是相差仿佛。
In truth, the situation between the Demon World and the Netherworld was not much different. Just like how the Nine True Demons had varying levels of strength; apart from others, Ice Spirit’s power clearly surpassed that of the Treasure Snake.
xiàng jiǔ wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， shí lì jiù yǒu chā yì ， bié rén qiě bù tí ， bīng pò de shí lì ， míng xiǎn jiù qiáng yú bǎo shé 。
像九位真魔始祖，实力就有差异，别人且不提，冰魄的实力，明显就强于宝蛇。
As for the Six Kings of the Netherworld, it was obvious that they were merely his subordinates compared to the former Aruks, who were unparalleled geniuses comparable to Loose Immortals.
ér yīn sī liù wáng gèng bú yòng shuō ， xī rì de ā xiū luó ， jīng cái jué yàn ， kān bǐ zhēn xiān ， qí yú wǔ wáng ， shuō dào dǐ ， bù guò shì tā shǒu xià de dà jiàng 。
而阴司六王更不用说，昔日的阿修罗，惊才绝艳，堪比真仙，其余五王，说到底，不过是他手下的大将。
"Could it be that Rain桐 Fairy's strength is much stronger than the others?" Tian Xiaojian pondered.
“ nán dào shuō ， nà wèi yǔ tóng xiān zi ， shí lì yě bǐ qí tā wǔ rén qiáng dé duō 。” tián xiǎo jiàn chén yín zhe shuō 。
“难道说，那位雨桐仙子，实力也比其他五人强得多。”田小剑沉吟着说。
"Indeed, Rain桐 Fairy is a significant figure."
“ bù cuò ， yǔ tóng xiān zi ， què shí suàn yī hào rén wù 。”
“不错，雨桐仙子，确实算一号人物。”
The Demon Lord nodded: "Though she is called a Loose Immortal, her strength has reached a level close to that of a True Immortal. Back in my prime, I had even fought with her, but it was only a narrow victory."
mó zú dà tǒng lǐng diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ tā suī míng wèi sàn xiān ， dàn shí lì què yǐ dào le jiē jìn zhēn xiān de dì bù ， dāng nián ， lǎo fū quán shèng zhī shí ， yě yǔ tā jiāo shǒu guò ， rán ér dān dǎ dú dòu ， yě bù guò shì xiǎn shèng bà le 。”
魔族大统领点了点头：“她虽名为散仙，但实力却已到了接近真仙的地步，当年，老夫全盛之时，也与她交手过，然而单打独斗，也不过是险胜罢了。”
"Now times have changed; after millions of years, although she hasn’t ascended to the Immortal Realm, if my estimation is correct, her strength must have improved. Although not as strong as the former Aruks, she won't be intimidated by True Immortals and has already surpassed me from back then."
“ rú jīn shì yì shí yí ， jǐ bǎi wàn nián guò qù ， tā suī rán méi yǒu fēi shēng dào xiān jiè qù ， dàn lǎo fū ruò shì gū jì méi cuò ， tā de shí lì bù kě néng méi yǒu jìn bù ， suī rán bù jí dāng nián de ā xiū luó ， dàn duì shàng jiàng lín de zhēn xiān kǒng pà yě bù dǎ chù ， shí zhī ** yǐ shèng guò liǎo dàng nián de lǎo fū 。”
“如今事易时移，几百万年过去，她虽然没有飞升到仙界去，但老夫若是估计没错，她的实力不可能没有进步，虽然不及当年的阿修罗，但对上降临的真仙恐怕也不打怵，十之**已胜过了当年的老夫。”
"What? Li Yutong’s power is actually this formidable; you mean she can match a True Immortal?" Tian Xiaojian was greatly alarmed.
“ shén me ， lǐ yǔ tóng jū rán lì hài dào rú cǐ chéng dù ， yì fù shì shuō ， tā yǐ jīng kān yǔ zhēn xiān xiāng pì měi le ？” tián xiǎo jiàn dà jīng shī sè 。
“什么，李雨桐居然厉害到如此程度，义父是说，她已经堪与真仙相媲美了？”田小剑大惊失色。
"Most likely."
“ kǒng pà shì de 。”
“恐怕是的。”
"Why isn’t her reputation as prominent?"
“ jì shì rú cǐ ， wèi hé tā de míng qì yì diǎn dōu bù xiǎn hè ？”
“既是如此，为何她的名气一点都不显赫？”
Tian Xiaojian was somewhat surprised. According to his knowledge, for millions of years, the three demon kings and three Loose Immortals were always in the same league. Rain桐 Fairy’s name had never been mentioned much.
tián xiǎo jiàn yǒu xiē chī jīng le ， jù tā suǒ zhī ， jǐ bǎi wàn nián lái ， líng jiè sān dà yāo wáng yǔ sān dà sàn xiān ， yí xiàng qí míng ， yǔ tóng xiān zi de míng hào 。 cóng lái bù céng bèi duō tí guò 。
田小剑有些吃惊了，据他所知，几百万年来，灵界三大妖王与三大散仙，一向齐名，雨桐仙子的名号。从来不曾被多提过。
In fact, her reputation was even less than that of others like Broad Cold True Man or the Queen of Qingqiu Kingdom, who were far more famous.
bù ， zhèng què de shuō ， tā de míng qì ， hái bù jí qí tā jǐ rén ， xiàng guǎng hán zhēn rén ， qīng qiū guó zhǔ ， míng xiǎn dōu yào yǒu míng dé duō 。
不，正确的说，她的名气，还不及其他几人，像广寒真人，青丘国主，明显都要有名得多。
Why was this so?
zhè shì zěn me huí shì ne ？
这是怎么回事呢？
"Ha, at our level, fame is just a fleeting illusion. Li Yutong originally enjoyed tranquility and disliked movement; she’s indifferent by nature. Fame serves no purpose for her, so she has always been low-key." The Demon Lord said with a carefree smile.
“ hēi ， shí lì dào le wǒ men zhè ge děng jí ， míng qì bù guò shì guò yǎn yān yún ér yǐ 。 lǐ yǔ tóng yuán běn jiù shì xǐ jìng bù xǐ dòng de xìng gé ， shēng xìng dàn mò ， míng qì duì tā ， jì méi yǒu yòng tú ， nà yí xiàng dī diào 。 yòu yǒu shén me hào qí guài le 。” mó zú dà tǒng lǐng sǎ rán yī xiào de shuō 。
“嘿，实力到了我们这个等级，名气不过是过眼烟云而已。李雨桐原本就是喜静不喜动的性格，生性淡漠，名气对她，既没有用途，那一向低调。又有什么好奇怪了。”魔族大统领洒然一笑的说。
"So that's the case."
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”
“原来如此。”
Tian Xiaojian’s face showed an understanding expression as he visualized Rain桐 Fairy. As the top expert in the Spirit Realm, she was indifferent to fame and seemed like a celestial maiden who didn’t mix with mortals.
tián xiǎo jiàn liǎn shàng lù chū liǎo rán zhī sè ， lǐ yǔ tóng de xíng mào ， zài tā nǎo hǎi zhōng dà gài gōu lè ér chū 。
田小剑脸上露出了然之色，李雨桐的形貌，在他脑海中大概勾勒而出。
"Are we going to Rain桐 World this time?"
guì wèi líng jiè dì yī gāo shǒu ， què shēng xìng dàn mò ， yú xū míng bù zài hū ， fǎng fú jiǔ tiān xiān zi yì bān de bù shí rén jiān yān huǒ 。
贵为灵界第一高手，却生性淡漠，于虚名不在乎，仿佛九天仙子一般的不食人间烟火。
"Yes."
“ zhè yī cì wǒ men yào qù de shì yǔ tóng jiè me ？”
“这一次我们要去的是雨桐界么？”
"The exact time for the Peach Fruit to ripen is unknown, but it should be soon. Once you get there, focus on healing your injuries first; know that the competition over the Peach Fruit is just as fierce as that of the River Styx Divine Fruits." The Demon Lord said with deep intent.
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
"Thank you, Father. I have a plan."
“ pán táo shèng guǒ chéng shú de jù tǐ shí jiān suī bù xiǎo de ， dàn yīng gāi shì zuì jìn méi cuò 。 nǐ qù le nà ér yǐ hòu ， xiān jiāng shāng yǎng hǎo zài shuō ， xū zhī duì pán táo shèng guǒ de zhēng duó ， jī liè chéng dù yì diǎn yě bù bǐ míng hé shén guǒ xùn sè 。” mó jiè zhī zhǔ dà yǒu shēn yì de shuō 。
“蟠桃圣果成熟的具体时间虽不晓得，但应该是最近没错。你去了那儿以后，先将伤养好再说，须知对蟠桃圣果的争夺，激烈程度一点也不比冥河神果逊色。”魔界之主大有深意的说。
Tian Xiaojian, a true master strategist, quickly recovered from his depression.
“ duō xiè yì fù tí diǎn 。 hái ér xīn zhōng yǒu shù 。”
“多谢义父提点。孩儿心中有数。”
—
tián xiǎo jiàn bù kuì shì yí dài xiāo xióng bān de rén wù ， yǐ xùn sù cóng tuí fèi zhōng zhèn zuò qǐ lái le 。
田小剑不愧是一代枭雄般的人物，已迅速从颓废中振作起来了。
There was no time to waste; he had to leave the Netherworld soon or Golden Jade Corpse King would not give up.
shì bù yí chí ， tā yào kuài diǎn lí kāi yīn sī dì fǔ ， fǒu zé 。 jīn yuè shī wáng bú huì shàn bà gān xiū de 。
事不宜迟，他要快点离开阴司地府，否则。金玥尸王不会善罢甘休的。
Just as this thought crossed his mind, the already gloomy sky grew even darker.
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， yuán běn jiù yīn chén de tiān sè 。 gèng jiā huì àn le 。
这个念头尚未转过，原本就阴沉的天色。更加晦暗了。
Funereal winds howled, and gray-white corpse qi appeared out of nowhere. The army of Corpse Kings pursued him like a parasitic insect.
yīn fēng dà zuò ， huī bái sè de shī qì píng kōng ér qǐ ， shī wáng de dà jūn rú fū gǔ zhī qū ， yòu zhuī shàng lái le 。
阴风大做，灰白色的尸气凭空而起，尸王的大军如跗骨之蛆，又追上来了。
"I..."
“ wǒ ……”
“我……”
Tian Xiaojian was both shocked and angry. He had decided to leave the Netherworld but was once again blocked by pursuers. Was his luck this bad?
tián xiǎo jiàn yòu jīng yòu nù 。
田小剑又惊又怒。
He cursed inwardly, but he wouldn’t sit idly by.
zì jǐ yǐ jīng jué dìng lí kāi yīn cáo dì fǔ ， què zài yí cì bèi zhuī bīng dǔ zhù ， zhè yùn qì shì bú shì yě tài dǎo méi le 。
自己已经决定离开阴曹地府，却再一次被追兵堵住，这运气是不是也太倒霉了。
Clearly, it wasn't wise to confront them head-on at this moment. Instead, he summoned a torrent of demonic winds and transformed into a streak of black lightning, flying away in the distance.
xīn zhōng tǔ cáo bù yǐ ， tián xiǎo jiàn dāng rán bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì 。
心中吐槽不已，田小剑当然不会坐以待毙。
However, soon enough, he found that this direction was also blocked by pursuers.
cǐ kè yìng pèng dāng rán bú shì shén me cōng míng de xuǎn zé ， yú shì tā hún shēn mó fēng dà zuò ， huà wèi yī lǚ hēi sè de jīng hóng xiàng yuǎn chù fēi lüè ér qù le 。
此刻硬碰当然不是什么聪明的选择，于是他浑身魔风大做，化为一缕黑色的惊虹像远处飞掠而去了。
With nowhere to hide, he unconsciously set up an intricate net around him.
kě hěn kuài fā xiàn ， zhè ge fāng xiàng yì bèi zhuī bīng dǔ zhù 。
可很快发现，这个方向亦被追兵堵住。
Tian Xiaojian’s face turned slightly pale.
wú chǔ kě duǒ ， bù zhī bù jué jiān ， duì fāng jìng rán jiāng tiān luó dì wǎng bù xià le 。
无处可躲，不知不觉间，对方竟然将天罗地网布下了。
This Golden Jade Corpse King was truly despicable; he wouldn’t let his spirit go in peace.
tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn sè yǒu xiē fā qīng le 。
田小剑的脸色有些发青了。
But at this point, what use was there in being upset? He could only grit his teeth and summon the treasure to charge towards the endless army of Corpse Kings.
zhè jīn yuè shī wáng yě tài kě wù ， jū rán yīn hún bù sàn le 。
这金玥尸王也太可恶，居然阴魂不散了。
In an instant, explosions echoed as Tian Xiaojian was enveloped by a tide-like wave of refined corpses.
rán ér shì dào rú jīn ， yù mèn yòu yǒu shén me yòng tú ， tā zhǐ yǒu yìng zhe tóu pí ， jiāng bǎo wù jì qǐ ， xiàng zhe yī yǎn wàng bú dào biān de shī wáng dà jūn shā le guò qù 。
然而事到如今，郁闷又有什么用途，他只有硬着头皮，将宝物祭起，向着一眼望不到边的尸王大军杀了过去。
Indeed, he was truly pitiful. Originally, just stealing a piece of treasure wouldn’t have provoked Golden Jade Corpse King’s wrath. However, who knew that Golden Jade Corpse King had been in a bad mood recently?
yī shí jiān ， bào liè shēng dà zuò ， tián xiǎo jiàn bèi hǎi cháo nù tāo yì bān de liàn shī céng céng bāo guǒ 。
一时间，爆裂声大做，田小剑被海潮怒涛一般的炼尸层层包裹。
The Yellow Springs Demon Mother and her subordinates were eliminated by Lin Xuan; Moon and her subordinates were unknown whereabouts.
shuō qǐ lái ， tā yě zhēn shì hěn kě lián de 。
说起来，他也真是很可怜的。
Finding them would be a huge hassle. Just as he was about to take the Aruks’ head, unexpected events occurred, leaving him depressed.
yuán běn ， jǐn jǐn shì dào zǒu yī jiàn bǎo wù ， bìng bú huì yǐn dé jīn yuè shī wáng bó rán dà nù 。
原本，仅仅是盗走一件宝物，并不会引得金玥尸王勃然大怒。
Moreover, without any clues of Moon or Lin Xuan, his anger was futile.
rán ér shuí ràng jīn yuè shī wáng zuì jìn xīn qíng bù hǎo ne ？
然而谁让金玥尸王最近心情不好呢？
Unbelievably, Tian Xiaojian just happened to steal treasure at this moment and run into Golden Jade Corpse King’s bad luck. How could he not transfer all his frustration onto him?
huáng quán guǐ mǔ yǔ shǒu xià de jǐ yuán dà jiàng bèi lín xuān miè chú ， yuè ér jí qí shǒu xià gèng bù zhī dào chuán sòng dào nǎ lǐ qù le 。
黄泉鬼母与手下的几员大将被林轩灭除，月儿及其手下更不知道传送到哪里去了。
He ordered his subordinates to pursue Tian Xiaojian relentlessly until they were both dead.
zhè zhǎo qǐ lái ， kě yào dà fèi bō zhé 。
这找起来，可要大费波折。
After sorting out the situation, poor Tian Xiaojian was nothing but a scapegoat for Lin Xuan's misfortunes.
yuán běn yǎn kàn jiù yào qǔ xià ā xiū luó wáng de tóu lú ， què zhòu rán yù jiàn zhè yàng de biàn gù ， tā bù yù mèn cái shì guài le 。
原本眼看就要取下阿修罗王的头颅，却骤然遇见这样的变故，他不郁闷才是怪了。
—
piān piān yuè ér lín xuān yòu méi yǒu xiàn suǒ ， tā zài fā nù yě wú kě nài hé 。
偏偏月儿林轩又没有线索，他再发怒也无可奈何。
However, Tian Xiaojian didn’t know any of this. He just lamented his bad luck and thought that his current fortune had reached its nadir.
wú qiǎo bù qiǎo ， tián xiǎo jiàn gāng hǎo zài zhè shí hòu lái dào bǎo ， chù méi tóu ， bào tiào rú léi de jīn yuè shī wáng zěn me néng bù jiāng mǎn qiāng fèn mán ， dōu zhuǎn yí dào tā de shēn shàng 。
无巧不巧，田小剑刚好在这时候来盗宝，触霉头，暴跳如雷的金玥尸王怎么能不将满腔愤慲，都转移到他的身上。
...
mìng lìng bù xià quán lì chū dòng ， duì tián xiǎo jiàn de zhuī shā ， lái gè bù sǐ bù xiū 。
命令部下全力出动，对田小剑的追杀，来个不死不休。
Meanwhile, far away, Lin Xuan’s luck was the opposite.
zhè qián yīn hòu guǒ yī shū lǐ qīng chǔ ， kě lián tián xiǎo jiàn wán quán shì dāng le lín xuān de tì zuì gāo yáng 。
这前因后果一梳理清楚，可怜田小剑完全是当了林轩的替罪羔羊。
"Phew, finally done."
piān piān zhè yī qiè tā hái bìng bù xiǎo de ， zhǐ zài nà lǐ dà tàn huì qì ， zhè yī cì zì jǐ de yùn qì ， zhēn shì zāo gāo dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
偏偏这一切他还并不晓得，只在那里大叹晦气，这一次自己的运气，真是糟糕到无以复加的地步。
The sound of laughter filled his ears as Lin Xuan's face showed joy.
……
……
Before him lay a row of jade boxes made from the essence of ten-thousand-year-old black jade. These were extraordinary treasures that could prevent the leakage of spirit energy. There were nine such boxes, each containing a pill the size of a dragon eye.
qiě bù shuō kě lián de tián xiǎo jiàn zuǒ chōng yòu tū ， xiǎng yào yú wàn jūn zhī zhōng shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù ， lìng yī biān ， qiān wàn lǐ zhī wài 。
且不说可怜的田小剑左冲右突，想要于万军之中杀出一条血路，另一边，千万里之外。
In other words, the nine Upper Yuan Snowfall Pills Lin Xuan obtained after refining.
lín xuān de yùn qì què zhèng hǎo xiāng fǎn 。
林轩的运气却正好相反。
The result far exceeded his expectations.
“ hū ， zhōng yú chéng le 。”
“呼，终于成了。”
...
dà xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì xǐ sè 。
大笑的声音传入耳朵，林轩的脸上满是喜色。
After all, he had only managed to refine nine pills in this batch. The higher the grade of the medicinal pills, the more difficult their refinement and purification became.
tā de shēn qián ， bǎi zhe yī pái yù hé 。
他的身前，摆着一排玉盒。
This pill was so highly praised by even the former Aruks that it was a treasure for Immortals. Lin Xuan speculated that purifying it would be extremely difficult, with only a small chance of success or getting one-third at best.
nà shì yóu wàn nián xuán yù de jīng huá zhù zào ér chéng de 。
那是由万年玄玉的精华铸造而成的。
To put it bluntly, during the purification process, Lin Xuan trembled in fear, fearing he might have bad luck and fail to refine all the pills.
běn shēn jiù shì fēi tóng yī bān de bǎo wù ， yǒu fáng zhǐ líng qì liú shì de xiào guǒ 。
本身就是非同一般的宝物，有防止灵气流逝的效果。
If such a result occurred, he wouldn’t know where to cry; he would be driven to madness.
ér zhè yàng de yù hé ， yī gòng yǒu jiǔ gè ， měi yí gè hé zi ， shèng fàng yī lì lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de dān yào 。
而这样的玉盒，一共有九个，每一个盒子，盛放一粒龙眼大小的丹药。
Lin Xuan’s heart was filled with anxiety. However, when it came time for purification, something unbelievable happened.
huàn jù huà shuō ， lín xuān dé dào de shàng yuán luò xuě dān ， yě yī gòng shì jiǔ kē 。
换句话说，林轩得到的上元落雪丹，也一共是九颗。
His luck was so good that it seemed as if he had divine assistance. Despite many twists and turns, the final outcome was safe and sound. All nine Upper Yuan Snowfall Pills were successfully refined, fulfilling Lin Xuan's wish to obtain nine immortal pills.
"Hey, the Three Loose Immortals and the Three Demon Kings, although their strength is formidable, there are still differences among them."
