rú cǐ jié guǒ ， zěn néng bù ràng lín xuān mǎn miàn huān xǐ ， gǔ rén shuō ， dà nàn bù sǐ bì yǒu hòu fú ， cǐ huà chéng bù qī wǒ 。
如此结果，怎能不让林轩满面欢喜，古人说，大难不死必有后福，此话诚不欺我。
Such a result could not fail to make Lin Xuan's face light up with joy. As the ancients said, surviving great misfortune brings good fortune afterward—this was indeed true for him.
dān yào jì rán liàn zhì jié shù ， yě tí chún chéng gōng le ， àn lǐ lái shuō ， cǐ shì yě jiù gào yí duàn luò 。
丹药既然炼制结束，也提纯成功了，按理来说，此事也就告一段落。
Since the alchemy had ended and the purification succeeded, one would think that this matter should come to an end.
rán ér lín xuān lüè yī sī suǒ ， què bìng bù dǎ suàn mǎ shàng wài chū 。
然而林轩略一思索，却并不打算马上外出。
However, after a moment’s thought, Lin Xuan did not plan to leave immediately.
wú tā ， zhè ér de huán jìng jiù bù cuò ， zài zhè lǐ fú xià shàng yuán luò xuě dān ， liàn huà yào lì ， bìng qiě jiāng shāng shì zhì yù ， yīng gāi shì hěn hǎo de xuǎn zé 。
无他，这儿的环境就不错，在这里服下上元落雪丹，炼化药力，并且将伤势治愈，应该是很好的选择。
The environment here was quite good. Taking the Upper Yuan Snowfall Pill in his current state, refining its power, and healing his injuries—this seemed like a wise choice.
shuō zuò jiù zuò 。
说做就做。
Acting on it, he swept his sleeve, sending a streak of fire flying out from within his robe.
bù guò zài cǐ zhī qián ， lín xuān què shì xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào huǒ guāng cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér chū 。
不过在此之前，林轩却是袖袍一拂，一道火光从衣袖中飞掠而出。
A sound transmission talisman!
chuán yīn fú ！
传音符！
While he could not mind his own recovery, Moon had been worrying outside. Lin Xuan could not bear to see her in such distress, so he wanted to send a message first.
zì jǐ zài zhè ér liáo shāng bù dǎ jǐn ， dàn yuè ér zài wài miàn ， kě shì tǎn tè bù ān ， lín xuān zěn me rěn xīn tā tí xīn diào dǎn ， suǒ yǐ yào xiān bào píng ān 。
自己在这儿疗伤不打紧，但月儿在外面，可是忐忑不安，林轩怎么忍心她提心吊胆，所以要先报平安。
He affixed the sound transmission talisman to his forehead and recorded his words with his spirit consciousness before waving his sleeve again. The talisman transformed into a fire dragon and vanished.
jiāng chuán yīn fú tiē yú é tóu ， jiāng xiǎng shuō de huà yòng shén shí lù rù ， suí hòu lín xuān xiù páo yī shuǎi ， nà chuán yīn fú huà wèi yī dào huǒ lóng xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
将传音符贴于额头，将想说的话用神识录入，随后林轩袖袍一甩，那传音符化为一道火龙消失不见。
...
……
……
Moon was overjoyed upon receiving the sound transmission talisman. Setting aside her own situation for now, let’s focus on Lin Xuan.
yuè ér shōu dào chuán yīn fú hòu dà wèi huān xǐ ， tā nà biān de qíng kuàng qiě bù tí ， dān shuō lín xuān 。
月儿收到传音符后大为欢喜，她那边的情况且不提，单说林轩。
Although he had decided to take the immortal pill here to replenish his innate primordial energy, he hesitated before doing so.
suī rán yǐ jué dìng zài zhè lǐ fú yòng xiān dān ， jiāng sǔn hào de běn mìng yuán qì mí bǔ ， dàn lüè yī chóu chú ， tā què yě méi yǒu mǎ shàng zhè me zuò 。
虽然已决定在这里服用仙丹，将损耗的本命元气弥补，但略一踌躇，他却也没有马上这么做。
After all, refining the pills and purifying them were already quite strenuous tasks that required a rest first.
bì jìng liàn dān jiā tí chún yǐ jīng hěn xīn kǔ ， xū yào xiān xiū xī yī huì er cái gèng yǒu bǎ wò 。
毕竟炼丹加提纯已经很辛苦，需要先休息一会儿才更有把握。
Thus, Lin Xuan went to an adjacent room, sat in meditation, slept soundly, and changed into fresh clothes. Only then did he return to the alchemy chamber.
yú shì lín xuān lái dào gé bì de fáng jiān ， dǎ zuò xiū xī ， yòu shuì le yí gè bǎo zú ， mù yù gēng yī yǐ hòu ， cái chóng xīn lái dào liàn dān fáng lǐ miàn 。
于是林轩来到隔壁的房间，打坐休息，又睡了一个饱足，沐浴更衣以后，才重新来到炼丹房里面。
He took out an jade box, flicked his finger slightly, opened the lid, and the Upper Yuan Snowfall Pill came into view.
qǔ chū yí gè yù hé ， qū zhǐ wēi dàn ， jiāng hé gài dǎ kāi ， shàng yuán luò xuě dān yìng rù yǎn lián 。
取出一个玉盒，屈指微弹，将盒盖打开，上元落雪丹映入眼帘。
The pill was snow white, roughly the size of a dragon’s eye. However, inexplicably, it emitted golden light and countless tiny talisman inscriptions, making it clear that this was no ordinary object.
zuò xuě bái zhī sè ， yǔ lóng yǎn dà xiǎo xiāng chà fǎng fú ， rán ér bù kě sī yì de shì ， dān yào míng míng shì xuě bái de ， què yǒu jīn sè de háo guāng zhàn fàng ér chū ， gèng shì wú shù mǐ lì dà xiǎo de fú wén liú zhuǎn pēn bó ， jiào rén yī kàn jiù zhī dào bú shì fán wù 。
做雪白之色，与龙眼大小相差仿佛，然而不可思议的是，丹药明明是雪白的，却有金色的毫光绽放而出，更是无数米粒大小的符文流转喷薄，教人一看就知道不是凡物。
Its fragrance was also strong; just inhaling it made one feel refreshed all over. Truly, it was an immortal treasure.
xiāng qì gèng shì nóng yù ， wén shàng yī kǒu jiù ràng rén hún shēn shū fú 。 guǒ rán bù kuì shì xiān jiā líng wù 。
香气更是浓郁，闻上一口就让人浑身舒服。果然不愧是仙家灵物。
Lin Xuan played with the pill for a moment before swallowing it whole.
lín xuān bǎ wán piàn kè ， yī yǎng tóu ， jiāng cǐ dān yào tūn luò rù dù 。
林轩把玩片刻，一仰头，将此丹药吞落入肚。
Then he formed hand seals and used inner vision to refine its power.
suí hòu shuāng shǒu qiā jué ， shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù ， liàn huà qǐ yào lì lái le 。
随后双手掐诀，施展内视之术，炼化起药力来了。
...
……
……
While Lin Xuan consumed the immortal pill, Tian Xiaojian’s luck had hit rock bottom.
lín xuān zhè biān tūn fú xiān dān ， tián xiǎo jiàn nà biān què shì dǎo méi dào le jí diǎn 。
林轩这边吞服仙丹，田小剑那边却是倒霉到了极点。
Poor fellow, just as he prepared to leave the underworld, he was suddenly surrounded by the Golden Yue Corpse King’s vast army. Leading them was an old monster at the realm of tribulation.
kě lián tā dōu zhǔn bèi lí kāi yīn cáo dì fǔ ， què piān piān zài zhè shí hòu bèi jīn yuè shī wáng de dà jūn tuán tuán wéi zhù 。
可怜他都准备离开阴曹地府，却偏偏在这时候被金玥尸王的大军团团围住。
Tian Xiaojian did not fear a one-on-one fight, but his opponents were in such numbers that his many abilities could not match Lin Xuan’s astonishing number of demonic insects.
lǐng tóu de hái yǒu dù jié qī lǎo guài wù 。
领头的还有渡劫期老怪物。
He had to face this alone and bravely.
dān dǎ dú dòu tián xiǎo jiàn bù jù ， kě duì fāng wán de jiù shì rén duō ， nà xiē kuǐ lěi liàn shī gēn běn bù zhī dào wèi jù wèi hé wù ， tián xiǎo jiàn shén tōng suī duō 。 piān piān bù xiàng lín xuān nà yàng ， sì yǎng yǒu shù liàng jīng rén de mó chóng 。
单打独斗田小剑不惧，可对方玩的就是人多，那些傀儡炼尸根本不知道畏惧为何物，田小剑神通虽多。偏偏不像林轩那样，饲养有数量惊人的魔虫。
For most cultivators in such a predicament, the outcome would likely be a shattered spirit. But Tian Xiaojian was extraordinary; despite being severely injured, he managed to carve out a bloody path for himself.
zhǐ néng yìng zhe tóu pí ， gū jūn fèn zhàn le 。
只能硬着头皮，孤军奋战了。
Escaping with his life, he breathed a sigh of relief.
ruò shì yì bān de xiū xiān zhě 。 luò dào zhè bān tián dì ， duō bàn shì yí gè hún fēi pò sàn de jié jú ， rán ér tián xiǎo jiàn què shí liǎo de ， míng míng yǐ shēn shòu zhòng shāng le ， hái yìng shēng shēng shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù 。
若是一般的修仙者。落到这般田地，多半是一个魂飞魄散的结局，然而田小剑确实了得，明明已身受重伤了，还硬生生杀出一条血路。
However, his injuries had worsened from all this turmoil, and it was now urgent to find medicinal pills to heal them before considering breaking through the void to the spirit realm.
táo zhī yāo yāo diào le 。
逃之夭夭掉了。
By sheer coincidence, as Tian Xiaojian passed through a forest, he discovered a rare herb.
kě tā de méi yùn bìng wèi jié shù 。
可他的霉运并未结束。
This wasn’t just any ordinary spirit plant; it was a spirit grass that had grown for a million years.
……
……
Even in the mortal world, a thousand-year-old spirit plant was hard to come by, and ten-thousand-year-old ones were considered rarities. In the underworld’s resources, though far more abundant than those of the mortal realm, a million-year-old spirit plant was still extremely rare.
tián xiǎo jiàn yě shì bèi zhuī dé jí le 。 huāng bù zé lù ， mò míng qí miào de lái dào tiān shā míng wáng de lǐng dì 。
田小剑也是被追得急了。慌不择路，莫名其妙的来到天煞明王的领地。
Tian Xiaojian was overjoyed and did not hesitate to pluck it. However, he had no idea that this would bring him trouble.
àn lǐ ， zhè yě suàn shì yīn huò dé fú 。
按理，这也算是因祸得福。
In reality, this place was the medicinal garden of the Heaven Defying Bright King.
yīn sī liù wáng zhī jiān ， yuán běn jiù bú duì fù ， tiān shā míng wáng yǔ jīn yuè shī wáng bù hé ， gèng shì rén jǐn jiē zhī de 。
阴司六王之间，原本就不对付，天煞明王与金玥尸王不合，更是人尽皆知的。
Why wasn’t there anyone guarding it?
tā suī shì yì wài lái dào cǐ dì 。 dàn shī wáng dà jūn zì rán méi yǒu guò jiè zhuī lái de dào lǐ ， fǒu zé ， fēi yǔ tiān shā míng wáng qǐ chōng tū 。
他虽是意外来到此地。但尸王大军自然没有过界追来的道理，否则，非与天煞明王起冲突。
There was indeed someone watching, but they were a veteran at the realm of tribulation who had become complacent over the years without any incidents.
suǒ yǐ tián xiǎo jiàn suàn shì yīn huò dé fú 。 zàn shí ān quán le 。
所以田小剑算是因祸得福。暂时安全了。
It’s no wonder that Tian Xiaojian was so unlucky.
hǎo bù róng yì bǎi tuō zhuī bīng ， tián xiǎo jiàn dà sōng le yì kǒu qì 。
好不容易摆脱追兵，田小剑大松了一口气。
Originally, the Heaven Defying Bright King’s medicinal garden should have been strictly guarded. But due to its unique growth environment, it couldn’t be moved elsewhere, and even its array formations affected it. Therefore, the Heaven Defying Bright King had only sent his subordinates in rotation to guard this plant.
rán ér zhè yī fān zhē teng xià lái ， tā de shāng shì yǐ yǒu xiē yā zhì bú zhù 。
然而这一番折腾下来，他的伤势已有些压制不住。
They were waiting for it to mature before harvesting it to refine into immortal pills.
suǒ yǐ ， dāng wù zhī jí ， yǐ bú shì pò suì xū kōng 。 dào líng jiè qù ， ér shì xiān xún zhǎo líng dān miào yào 。 jiāng shāng shì zhì hǎo 。
所以，当务之急，已不是破碎虚空。到灵界去，而是先寻找灵丹妙药。将伤势治好。
Due to its secluded location, no cultivators had ever ventured here over the years, so the guard was rather careless.
piān piān jiù yǒu zhè me qiǎo ， tián xiǎo jiàn zài lù guò yī piàn sēn lín de shí hòu ， fā xiàn le yī zhū líng yào 。
偏偏就有这么巧，田小剑在路过一片森林的时候，发现了一株灵药。
Who would have thought that Tian Xiaojian, being chased like a headless fly by the Corpse King’s army, would end up here by chance?
nà kě bú shì pǔ tōng de líng wù 。
那可不是普通的灵物。
And because of his carelessness, the Heaven Defying Bright King's guard happened to be absent.
nǎi shì yī zhū shēng zhǎng le bǎi wàn nián de líng cǎo 。
乃是一株生长了百万年的灵草。
This spirit grass, even if not refined into pills, was still immensely beneficial for healing injuries.
ruò shì zài rén jiè ， qiān nián líng cǎo yǐ nán dé ， wàn nián líng cǎo nà jiù shì xī hǎn wù ， yīn sī jiè de zī yuán ， suī rán yuǎn bǐ rén jiè fēng fù ， dàn bǎi wàn nián de líng cǎo ， nà yě shì jí wéi nán dé 。
若是在人界，千年灵草已难得，万年灵草那就是稀罕物，阴司界的资源，虽然远比人界丰富，但百万年的灵草，那也是极为难得。
Thus, the Heaven Defying Bright King’s long-awaited treasure had been squandered by Tian Xiaojian in its raw state.
tián xiǎo jiàn dà xǐ zhī xià ， dāng rán bú huì kè qì ， jiāng qí cǎi zhāi xià lái le ， rán ér tā què bù zhī dào ， rě le dà huò 。
田小剑大喜之下，当然不会客气，将其采摘下来了，然而他却不知道，惹了大祸。
Indeed, a million-year-old spirit plant was no small matter; although his injuries did not recover instantly, Tian Xiaojian felt like a new man.
yuán lái ， zhè ge dì fāng shì tiān shā míng wáng de yào yuán 。
原来，这个地方是天煞明王的药园。
However, when the Heaven Defying Bright King learned of this, he nearly spat out an old lungful. All that waiting for a million years had been in vain. Can you imagine how angry and disappointed he was?
jì shì yào yuán ， wèi shén me méi yǒu rén kān shǒu ne ？
既是药园，为什么没有人看守呢？
If it weren’t for his enmity with the Golden Yue Corpse King, he might have personally pursued the thief.
qí shí shì yǒu de 。
其实是有的。
In the end, though he didn’t do so, he sent an avatar out instead.
ér qiě kān shǒu de rén ， shì yī dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù 。
而且看守的人，是一渡劫级别的老怪物。
This wasn’t just a fragment of his soul descending; it was a real avatar.
zhǐ shì zhè me duō nián dōu bù céng chū shì ， tā wèi miǎn xiè dài le 。
只是这么多年都不曾出事，他未免懈怠了。
His strength was beyond question. The result for Tian Xiaojian was even worse than before—being chased to the heavens and earth, nearly losing his life several times at the hands of the Heaven Defying Bright King.
shuō qǐ lái ， yě huó gāi tián xiǎo jiàn dǎo méi 。
说起来，也活该田小剑倒霉。
...
yuán běn ， tiān shā míng wáng de yào yuán yīng gāi shì kān shǒu sēn yán de 。
原本，天煞明王的药园应该是看守森严的。
Poor Tian Xiaojian, like a dog that had lost its master, while Lin Xuan was comfortably munching on immortal pills.
piān piān zhè zhū líng cǎo shēng zhǎng huán jìng tè shū ， bù néng yí zhí wǎng bié chù ， shèn zhì zhèn fǎ jìn zhì dōu duì tā yǒu yǐng xiǎng ， suǒ yǐ tiān shā míng wáng zhǐ yǒu pài qiǎn shǒu xià de dà jiàng ， lún liú kān shǒu cǐ wù 。
偏偏这株灵草生长环境特殊，不能移植往别处，甚至阵法禁制都对它有影响，所以天煞明王只有派遣手下的大将，轮流看守此物。
The effects of the Upper Yuan Snowfall Pill were indeed remarkable. Originally, after igniting the root fire, his innate primordial energy had nearly been depleted to the point of exhaustion.
zhǐ dài tā chéng shú ， jiù kě yǐ zhāi qǔ liàn zhì xiān dān le 。
只待它成熟，就可以摘取炼制仙丹了。
While it wouldn’t drop him to a lower realm, recovering from such depletion would require thousands or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation if he were to close himself off and meditate.
yóu shēng zhǎng de huán jìng piān pì ， zhè me duō nián lái cóng wèi yǒu xiū shì chuǎng rù zhè lǐ ， kān shǒu zhī rén ， yě jiù bù miǎn mǎ hǔ 。
由生长的环境偏僻，这么多年来从未有修士闯入这里，看守之人，也就不免马虎。
But after just three Upper Yuan Snowfall Pills, his original injuries had completely healed.
nǎ zhī dào tián xiǎo jiàn bèi shī wáng dà jūn zhuī dé rú méi tóu cāng yíng bān ， jū rán jī yuán qiǎo hé ， chuǎng dào zhè lǐ lái le 。
哪知道田小剑被尸王大军追得如没头苍蝇般，居然机缘巧合，闯到这里来了。
Such results far exceeded Lin Xuan’s expectations, so his face was naturally filled with joy.
ér kān shǒu zhī rén què yīn wèi xiè dài ， qià hǎo bù zài 。
而看守之人却因为懈怠，恰好不在。
With his injuries healed, Lin Xuan did not plan to stay here any longer. He rose from his seat, about to leave when he suddenly frowned and sat back down again.
cǐ líng yào liàn dān ， gù rán shì wú shàng shén wù ， dàn jí biàn shēng chī ， duì yú shāng shì ， yě jiù jí dà de bāng zhù 。
此灵药炼丹，固然是无上神物，但即便生吃，对于伤势，也就极大的帮助。
Closing his eyes, he used inner vision; the spirit energy in his dantian had grown significantly stronger. The main primordial infant was sitting cross-legged.
yú shì tiān shā míng wáng kǔ děng jìn bǎi wàn nián de líng wù ， què bèi tián xiǎo jiàn ， bào tiǎn tiān wù ， gěi shēng chī diào le 。
于是天煞明王苦等近百万年的灵物，却被田小剑，暴殄天物，给生吃掉了。
However, the second primordial infant’s face showed signs of pain, but also excitement.
hái bié shuō ， bǎi wàn nián de líng cǎo jiù shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， tián xiǎo jiàn de shāng suī rán méi yǒu lì kè huī fù ， què yě shēng lóng huó hǔ 。
还别说，百万年的灵草就是非同小可，田小剑的伤虽然没有立刻恢复，却也生龙活虎。
The demon pill situation was similar; it rotated rapidly, with countless true spirits appearing as virtual images on its surface, vividly lifelike to an extreme degree.
rán ér tiān shā míng wáng zhī dào zhī hòu ， què chà diǎn méi yǒu yī kǒu lǎo xuè pēn chū ， bǎi wàn nián de děng dài ， huà zuò le pào yǐng ， nǐ shuō tā xīn zhōng de ào sàng fèn nù ， gāi dào rú hé chéng dù 。
然而天煞明王知道之后，却差点没有一口老血喷出，百万年的等待，化作了泡影，你说他心中的懊丧愤怒，该到如何程度。

ruò bú shì yǔ jīn yuè shī wáng jiāo wù ， tā dōu xiǎng yào qīn shēn lái zhuī shā dào bǎo zhī rén le 。
若不是与金玥尸王交恶，他都想要亲身来追杀盗宝之人了。
It's the beginning of the month. Please vote for my monthly ticket.
Such a result could not fail to make Lin Xuan's face light up with joy. As the ancients said, surviving great misfortune brings good fortune afterward—this was indeed true for him.
