话是如此，其实林轩也不是很在意，对一般的灵界修士，仙家之物，固然是了不得的东西，哪怕渡劫期大能，也会眼馋不已，但对如今的林轩来说，则没有什么了得。

tā de qián shì ， jí yǒu kě néng shì dāng nián de xiān jiè dì yī qiáng zhě ， pǔ tōng de xiān jiā zhī wù ， lín xuān yòu zěn me kě néng kàn dé rù yǎn ne ？
他的前世，极有可能是当年的仙界第一强者，普通的仙家之物，林轩又怎么可能看得入眼呢？
Though he said so, Lin Xuan wasn't really that concerned. For ordinary spirit realm cultivators, divine artifacts were indeed invaluable treasures, even a Great Power of the Transcendent Realm would covet them eagerly. But for Lin Xuan now, such items held no great significance.
dāng rán ， yě bú shì shuō ， lín xuān jiù háo bù zài hū ， tā de liǎn shàng ， hái shì yǒu yī fēn xīng fèn zhī sè 。
当然，也不是说，林轩就毫不在乎，他的脸上，还是有一分兴奋之色。
His previous life was likely the strongest power in the Transcendent Realm back then; how could he possibly find ordinary spirit realm herbs worth looking at?
bù guò bìng bú shì zhè lǐ zhòng zhí yǒu bù dé le xiān cǎo de yuán gù ， ér shì yǒu kě néng zài cǐ dì fā xiàn yǔ jiǔ tiān xī rǎng yǒu guān de xiàn suǒ 。
不过并不是这里种植有不得了仙草的缘故，而是有可能在此地发现与九天息壤有关的线索。
Of course, that didn't mean Lin Xuan wasn't interested at all. There was still a hint of excitement on his face.
yī niàn zhì cǐ ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě yǒu nà me yī xiē xiǎo jī dòng le 。
一念至此，即便以林轩的城府，也有那么一些小激动了。
But it wasn't because there were extraordinary herbs here. It might be related to clues about the Nine Heavens Nourishing Soil.
duì fāng rú jīn kě shì xiān jiè de dì yī qiáng zhě ， biàn shì dāng nián de ā xiū luó ， yě wú fǎ kàng héng de ， miàn duì zhè yàng de qiáng dí ， zì jǐ yòu bù kě néng shù shǒu jiù fù ， nà zì rán jiù zhǐ yǒu xiān zuò yī xiē zhǔn bèi le 。
对方如今可是仙界的第一强者，便是当年的阿修罗，也无法抗衡的，面对这样的强敌，自己又不可能束手就缚，那自然就只有先做一些准备了。
With this thought, even with his usual composure, he felt a small surge of excitement.
lín xuān dǐ pái hěn duō ， dàn miàn duì tián xiāng ， què dōu xiǎn de yǒu xiē xiāng xíng jiàn zhuō ， ér zhè jiǔ tiān xī rǎng ， lín xuān yǐn yǐn jué de ， huì duì zì jǐ dà yǒu bāng zhù ， gù ér wú lùn rú hé ， tā dōu shì yào nòng dào shǒu de 。
林轩底牌很多，但面对田襄，却都显得有些相形见拙，而这九天息壤，林轩隐隐觉得，会对自己大有帮助，故而无论如何，他都是要弄到手的。
The other party was now the strongest power in the Transcendent Realm; even the Arrogant Deva from long ago couldn't withstand it. Facing such an enemy, he couldn't afford to be passive. Therefore, he naturally had to make some preparations first.
zhì zài bì děi ， kě jìng zhēng duì shǒu yě tóng yàng hěn duō ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de bǎ wò ， yǎn qián de xiān miǎo yuán néng fǒu ràng zì jǐ jié zú xiān dēng ne ？
志在必得，可竞争对手也同样很多，林轩并没有百分之百的把握，眼前的仙渺园能否让自己捷足先登呢？
Lin Xuan had many trump cards, but when facing Tian Xiang, they seemed somewhat inadequate. He vaguely felt that the Nine Heavens Nourishing Soil would greatly benefit him, so no matter what, he needed to get it.
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng rú cǐ zhè bān de xiǎng zhe ， yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu yì máng shǎn shuò ， suí hòu cái yī tái jiǎo ， xiàng zhe qián fāng zǒu qù le 。
林轩脑海中如此这般的想着，眼中隐隐有异芒闪烁，随后才一抬脚，像着前方走去了。
Determined to win, yet with many competitors, Lin Xuan wasn't one hundred percent sure if the Immortal Mirage Garden could give him an edge over them.
yǎn qián yī liàng ， huò rán kāi lǎng 。
眼前一亮，豁然开朗。
Lin Xuan thought about this as his eyes flickered with a strange light. He then took a step forward and walked towards the front.
zhè xiān miǎo yuán bǐ yù jì de hái yào dà shàng yī xiē ， zú zú shí mǔ yǒu yú ， zhè dào ràng lín xuān yǒu xiē jīng yì 。
这仙渺园比预计的还要大上一些，足足十亩有余，这倒让林轩有些惊异。
Suddenly, everything became clear.
wài wéi kāi kěn chéng le yào tián de yàng zi 。 zhǒng zhe yī zǐ sè de líng cǎo ， shàng miàn jié zhe lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de guǒ shí 。
外围开垦成了药田的样子。种着一紫色的灵草，上面结着龙眼大小的果实。
The Immortal Mirage Garden was larger than expected—over ten mu in size. This surprised Lin Xuan.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn bú shì hěn qǐ yǎn ， dàn zài nà líng guǒ lǐ miàn ， yǐn yǐn què yǒu yì máng liú zhuǎn 。
表面上看不是很起眼，但在那灵果里面，隐隐却有异芒流转。
The outer area had been cultivated into medicinal fields, planted with purple spirit herbs that bore fruit as large as longan.
“ zǐ líng guǒ ！”
“紫菱果！”
At first glance, they weren't particularly impressive, but there were faint glimmers within the fruits.
lín xuān jiàn shí fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zì rán yī yǎn jiù rèn chū le yǎn qián de líng wù 。
林轩见识非同小可，自然一眼就认出了眼前的灵物。
"Purple Lotus Fruit!"
zhè shì yòng lái liàn zhì “ huà xuě dān ” de ， duì yú zēng jìn dù jié qī xiū shì de fǎ lì ， dà yǒu bāng zhù ， shèn zhì duì tū pò píng jǐng yě yǒu yí dìng xiào guǒ ， suī rán bù néng shuō shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú de bǎo wù ， dàn yě shì jí wéi zhēn xī de 。
这是用来炼制“画雪丹”的，对于增进渡劫期修士的法力，大有帮助，甚至对突破瓶颈也有一定效果，虽然不能说是可遇而不可求的宝物，但也是极为珍稀的。
Lin Xuan's experience was profound; he immediately recognized this herb. It was used to refine "Snowflake Pill," which greatly enhanced the magical power of Great Power cultivators and even helped with breaking through barriers. Although it wasn't a rare treasure, it was extremely precious.
rán ér yǎn qián shù liàng zhī duō 。 què lìng rén zé shé 。
然而眼前数量之多。却令人咋舌。
However, the sheer number of these fruits was astonishing.
dàn zhè hái bú shì zuì zhòng yào de 。
但这还不是最重要的。
But that wasn't the most important thing.
bǔ tiān zhī ， xū yè zhú ……
补天芝，虚叶竹……
Nine Heavens Nourishing Soil, Void Leaf Bamboo...
yī yàng yī yàng de líng cǎo zài yǎn lián zhōng fú xiàn ér chū ， ér gāng cái de zǐ líng guǒ ， bù guò shì qí zhōng zuì bù qǐ yǎn de yí gè 。
一样一样的灵草在眼帘中浮现而出，而刚才的紫菱果，不过是其中最不起眼的一个。
One by one, spirit herbs appeared before his eyes, and the Purple Lotus Fruit was just one of them. Lin Xuan's jaw dropped in shock, unable to hide his astonishment.
lín xuān yì chēng mù jié shé ， yǎn shì bú zhù yǎn zhōng de zhèn jīng zhī sè 。
林轩亦瞠目结舌，掩饰不住眼中的震惊之色。
Actually, he had already shown remarkable composure. Any other Great Power would have been overjoyed at such a sight.
qí shí tā zhè fú biǎo xiàn yǐ jīng hěn chén wěn le ， huàn zuò qí tā de dà néng ， kàn jiàn zhè me duō líng cǎo ， fēi gāo xìng dé shǒu wǔ zú dǎo bù kě 。
其实他这幅表现已经很沉稳了，换做其他的大能，看见这么多灵草，非高兴得手舞足蹈不可。
After all, this was an invaluable fortune that could not be found easily. Even Li Yutong, if she were here, wouldn't remain unmoved.
bì jìng zhè shì yī bǐ kě yǔ yù bù kě qiú de cái fù ， biàn shì lǐ yǔ tóng yǔ tā yì dì ér chǔ 。 yě fēi dòng xīn bù kě 。
毕竟这是一笔可与遇不可求的财富，便是李雨桐与他易地而处。也非动心不可。
Lin Xuan couldn't ignore it either.
lín xuān zì rán yě bù kě néng shì ruò wú dǔ 。
林轩自然也不可能视若无睹。
Just as he was about to pick the treasures, his brow suddenly raised... A warning flashed in his mind.
zhèng xiǎng yào yào dòng shǒu cǎi zhāi bǎo wù ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， tā què méi shāo yī tiāo …… xīn zhōng fú xiàn chū yī lǚ jǐng zhào 。
正想要要动手采摘宝物，然而就在这时，他却眉梢一挑……心中浮现出一缕警兆。
No, more accurately, a small ball of energy that had been dormant for a long time sent him this warning.
bù ， zhèng què de shuō 。 bú shì lín xuān xīn lǐ ， fú xiàn chū bù hǎo de yù gǎn ， ér shì yì zhí chǔ yú chén shuì zhuàng tài de xiǎo máo qiú ， xiàng tā fā lái le yù zhào lái 。
不，正确的说。不是林轩心里，浮现出不好的预感，而是一直处于沉睡状态的小毛球，像他发来了预兆来。
Do not touch those spirit herbs!
bú yào qù pèng nà xiē líng cǎo ！
不要去碰那些灵草！
Lin Xuan was taken aback. He pondered deeply before confirming that his senses were correct.
lín xuān yī è 。 chén yín xì xì sī suǒ ， què dìng zì jǐ de gǎn yìng méi yǒu chū cuò 。
林轩一愕。沉吟细细思索，确定自己的感应没有出错。
But why would the little guy be asleep and still give such a warning?
kě zhè xiǎo jiā huo míng míng shuì dé zhèng shú ， jiū jìng shì zěn me yī huí shì ne ？
可这小家伙明明睡得正熟，究竟是怎么一回事呢？
Lin Xuan didn't know, but he quickly made a decision... Following the small ball's requirements wasn't because Lin Xuan was cowardly; rather, his goal here was to confront Tian Xiang, and finding the Nine Heavens Nourishing Soil. Other treasures were tempting, but in this uncertain situation, it was better not to add more complications.
lín xuān bù xiǎo de 。 dàn tā què hěn kuài zuò xià le jué zé …… àn zhào xiǎo máo qiú de yāo qiú qù zuò ， zhè dào bú shì shuō lín xuān dǎn xiǎo rú shǔ ， ér shì tā cǐ xíng de mù dì shì wèi le duì kàng tián xiāng ， ér xún zhǎo jiǔ tiān xī rǎng ， bié de bǎo wù suī rán yě yǒu yòu huò ， dàn zài jú shì wèi míng lǎng de qíng kuàng xià ， zì rán shì duō yī shì bù rú shǎo yī shì le 。
林轩不晓得。但他却很快做下了抉择……按照小毛球的要求去做，这倒不是说林轩胆小如鼠，而是他此行的目的是为了对抗田襄，而寻找九天息壤，别的宝物虽然也有诱惑，但在局势未明朗的情况下，自然是多一事不如少一事了。
Lin Xuan wasn't a greedy cultivator, so he no longer focused on those treasures but instead surveyed the entire Immortal Mirage Garden.
lín xuān bú shì tān dé wú yàn de xiū xiān zhě ， yú shì tā de mù guāng bù zài guān zhù nà xiē bǎo wù ， ér shì dǎ liàng qǐ zhěng gè xiān miǎo yuán lái le 。
林轩不是贪得无厌的修仙者，于是他的目光不再关注那些宝物，而是打量起整个仙渺园来了。
Indeed, there was a reward.
bié shuō ， zhè yī kàn hái zhēn yǒu shōu huò 。
别说，这一看还真有收获。
In one corner of the garden, there was actually a well.
zài xiān miǎo yuán de yī chù jiǎo luò ， jū rán yǒu yī chù shuǐ jǐng lái zhe 。
在仙渺园的一处角落，居然有一处水井来着。
While ordinary medicinal gardens often had wells, this one seemed out of place. Lin Xuan felt that it couldn't be explained by common sense.
ruò shì pǔ tōng de yào yuán ， yǒu shuǐ jǐng nà shì háo bù xī qí ， dàn chū xiàn zài cǐ dì ， lín xuān zǒng jué de bù néng yòng cháng lǐ fēn xī 。
若是普通的药园，有水井那是毫不稀奇，但出现在此地，林轩总觉得不能用常理分析。
It was too conspicuous.
tài tū wù le xiē 。
太突兀了些。
After hesitating for a moment, he stepped towards the well.
lüè yī chóu chú ， tā hái shì mài bù xiàng nà shuǐ jǐng zǒu guò qù le 。
略一踌躇，他还是迈步像那水井走过去了。
Soon enough, he reached it. Lin Xuan peered over, but what met his eyes were disappointing things.
hěn kuài jiù dào le ， lín xuān tàn guò tóu lú ， rán ér rù mù suǒ jí què jìn shì ràng rén shī wàng de dōng xī 。
很快就到了，林轩探过头颅，然而入目所及却尽是让人失望的东西。
The well itself was unremarkable, showing no signs of magic.
nà shuǐ jǐng yě tài píng cháng le xiē ， kàn bù chū yī sī shén yì 。
那水井也太平常了些，看不出一丝神异。
Lin Xuan's brow furrowed.
lín xuān de méi tóu zhòu zài yì qǐ 。
林轩的眉头皱在一起。
He trusted his judgment; this well must have something unusual.
tā xiāng xìn zì jǐ de pàn duàn ， zhè shuǐ jǐng kěn dìng yǒu bù xún cháng de dōng xī 。
他相信自己的判断，这水井肯定有不寻常的东西。
Lin Xuan released his divine sense.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng le chū qù 。
林轩将神识放了出去。
But there was still no收获. As soon as he touched the water surface, it bounced back.
yī jiù shì méi yǒu shōu huò ， yī pèng dào shuǐ miàn ， jiù bèi fǎn tán huí lái le 。
依旧是没有收获，一碰到水面，就被反弹回来了。
And Lin Xuan didn't dare go down easily either...
ér lín xuān zì jǐ ， yòu bù gǎn qīng yì xià qù 。
而林轩自己，又不敢轻易下去。
At that moment, while Lin Xuan was troubled, other Great Powers had similar experiences.
……
……
It turned out that there wasn't just one Immortal Mirage Garden here.
jiù zài lín xuān tóu téng de shí hòu ， qí yú de dà néng ， zāo yù què yǔ tā xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
就在林轩头疼的时候，其余的大能，遭遇却与他相差仿佛。
Most of the Great Powers who encountered this place found a similar layout. The gardens were filled with countless spirit herbs.
yuán lái xiān miǎo yuán bìng bù zhǐ yǎn qián yí gè 。
原来仙渺园并不只眼前一个。
The value of these treasures could not be overstated.
cǐ shí lái dào zhè lǐ de dù jié qī dà néng jué dà duō shù dōu pèng dào le ， ér qiě měi yí gè xiān miǎo yuán de gé jú dà tóng xiǎo yì ， lǐ miàn zhǒng yǒu líng yào wú shù 。
此时来到这里的渡劫期大能绝大多数都碰到了，而且每一个仙渺园的格局大同小异，里面种有灵药无数。
Lin Xuan didn't touch them because he received a warning from the small ball, but others had no such luck or willpower.
shuō jià zhí lián chéng sī háo kuā zhāng yě wú 。
说价值连城丝毫夸张也无。
Surely, they came here to find the Nine Heavens Nourishing Soil. Who would leave an abundance of treasure behind?
lín xuān shì yīn wèi cóng xiǎo máo qiú nà lǐ dé dào le tí xǐng ， suǒ yǐ bù pèng ， dàn qí tā rén kě jiù méi yǒu zhè me hǎo de yùn qì yǔ dìng lì le 。
林轩是因为从小毛球那里得到了提醒，所以不碰，但其他人可就没有这么好的运气与定力了。
With so many competitors for the Nine Heavens Nourishing Soil, it was uncertain who would end up with it. So, getting these treasures first was the most practical approach.
chéng rán ， tā men lái zhè lǐ shì xún zhǎo jiǔ tiān xī rǎng de ， dàn shuí huì shǎ shǎ de rù bǎo shān kōng shǒu ér guī ne ？
诚然，他们来这里是寻找九天息壤的，但谁会傻傻的入宝山空手而归呢？
This idea wasn't wrong, but as soon as they started picking herbs, all their hopes turned to tragedy.
jiǔ tiān xī rǎng yǒu nà me duō jìng zhēng zhě ， zuì zhōng huā luò shuí jiā kě bù hǎo shuō ， nà me xiān dé dào yǎn qián de bǎo wù jiù shì zuì shí zài de 。
九天息壤有那么多竞争者，最终花落谁家可不好说，那么先得到眼前的宝物就是最实在的。
The scene that Sha Ming Old Ancestor once encountered played out before them.
zhè ge xiǎng fǎ yuán běn bù néng shuō yǒu cuò ， kě tā men yī cǎi zhāi líng yào jiù quán bù bēi jù le 。
这个想法原本不能说有错，可他们一采摘灵药就全部悲剧了。
These spirit herbs weren't a problem if they didn't touch them, but once they showed any intention of harvesting, these priceless treasures suddenly came alive and transformed into strange and terrifying monsters.
shā míng lǎo zǔ céng jīng yù jiàn de yí mù ， zài tā men shēn shàng chóng yǎn le 。
煞冥老祖曾经遇见的一幕，在他们身上重演了。
And the more powerful the spirit herb, the more formidable the monster it became. Some even reached the realm level, and with their numbers, the top-tier cultivators selected from three thousand worlds couldn't withstand them; a majority fell.
nà xiē xiān cǎo líng yào bù pèng méi yǒu guān xì ， yí dàn liú lù chū cǎi zhāi de yì tú ， zhè xiē jià zhí lián chéng de bǎo wù jū rán fēn fēn huó guò lái le ， biàn huà chéng xī qí gǔ guài de yāo mó 。
那些仙草灵药不碰没有关系，一旦流露出采摘的意图，这些价值连城的宝物居然纷纷活过来了，变化成稀奇古怪的妖魔。
---
qiě děng jí bù dī ， yuè shì lì hài de líng cǎo ， suǒ biàn huà chū lái de yāo mó ， yuè shì lì hài yǐ jí 。
且等级不低，越是厉害的灵草，所变化出来的妖魔，越是厉害以极。
Meanwhile, in another dimension...
yī xiē zhēn xī líng cǎo suǒ biàn huà chū lái de ， shèn zhì dá dào le lǐng yù ， jiā shàng yòu shù liàng zhòng duō ， rú cǐ yī lái ， yǎn qián zhè xiē cóng sān qiān shì jiè dà néng zhōng shāi xuǎn chū lái de dǐng jí qiáng zhě ， jìng rán yě dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， yǒu yī dà bàn yǔn luò diào le 。
一些珍稀灵草所变化出来的，甚至达到了领域，加上又数量众多，如此一来，眼前这些从三千世界大能中筛选出来的顶级强者，竟然也抵挡不住，有一大半陨落掉了。
Tian Xiang displayed great prowess, defeating several of this world's strongest powers, drawing souls and refining essence to gain many insights.
……
……
"Originally, the rules of this world are like this."
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， lìng yí gè cì yuán 。
与此同时，另一个次元。
After days of seclusion and contemplation, Tian Xiang's face showed a smile. He was originally the first power among True Immortals; only some initial discomfort in an unfamiliar dimension had slowed him down.
tián xiāng dà fā shén wēi ， dǎ bài le zhè ge cì yuán de jǐ wèi zuì qiáng zhě ， chōu hún liàn pò ， cóng tā men nà lǐ huò dé le hěn duō gǎn wù de xīn dé 。
田襄大发神威，打败了这个次元的几位最强者，抽魂炼魄，从他们那里获得了很多感悟的心得。
With these new insights, understanding the laws of this dimension naturally became easier.
“ yuán lái zhè ge shì jiè de guī zé ， shì zhè yàng de 。”
“原来这个世界的规则，是这样的。”
While it wasn't smooth sailing, the difficulty wasn't unreasonable either. In just a few days, he made significant progress.
zài bì guān cān wù shù rì yǐ hòu ， tián xiāng de liǎn shàng ， lù chū yú yuè de xiào róng ， tā yuán běn jiù shì zhēn xiān zhī zhōng de dì yī qiáng zhě ， zhǐ shì lái dào mò shēng de cì yuán yǒu yī xiē bù shì yīng bà le 。
在闭关参悟数日以后，田襄的脸上，露出愉悦的笑容，他原本就是真仙之中的第一强者，只是来到陌生的次元有一些不适应罢了。
"It seems time to leave this dimension."
rú jīn yǒu le xīn dé ， zài cān wù zhè ge cì yuán de fǎ zé zì rán yě jiù shì shùn lǐ chéng zhāng de 。
如今有了心得，再参悟这个次元的法则自然也就是顺理成章的。
Tian Xiang's voice echoed as he spoke aloud. Being thrown into another world had given him considerable gains, but his heart was set on returning home. Who knew what awaited them in that other realm?
bù néng shuō yī fān fēng shùn ， dàn nán dù yě bù zài lí pǔ 。
不能说一番风顺，但难度也不再离谱。
---
duǎn duǎn de shù rì ， jìn zhǎn biàn fā chū xùn sù 。
短短的数日，进展便发出迅速。
**PS:** Sweat, yesterday I had something to do during the day and planned to write at night, but my laptop charger broke down, and my desktop computer is in the bedroom where my precious son is sleeping. I dare not go in to use it for fear of waking him up and causing a fuss. If that happens, my wife would definitely come after me. I'm truly sorry!

With so many competitors for the Nine Heavens Nourishing Soil, it was uncertain who would end up with it. So, getting these treasures first was the most practical approach.
This idea wasn't wrong, but as soon as they started picking herbs, all their hopes turned to tragedy.
The scene that Sha Ming Old Ancestor once encountered played out before them.
These spirit herbs weren't a problem if they didn't touch them, but once they showed any intention of harvesting, these priceless treasures suddenly came alive and transformed into strange and terrifying monsters.
And the more powerful the spirit herb, the more formidable the monster it became. Some even reached the realm level, and with their numbers, the top-tier cultivators selected from three thousand worlds couldn't withstand them; a majority fell.

Meanwhile, in another dimension...
Tian Xiang displayed great prowess, defeating several of this world's strongest powers, drawing souls and refining essence to gain many insights.
"Originally, the rules of this world are like this."
After days of seclusion and contemplation, Tian Xiang's face showed a smile. He was originally the first power among True Immortals; only some initial discomfort in an unfamiliar dimension had slowed him down.
With these new insights, understanding the laws of this dimension naturally became easier.
While it wasn't smooth sailing, the difficulty wasn't unreasonable either. In just a few days, he made significant progress.
"It seems time to leave this dimension."
Tian Xiang's voice echoed as he spoke aloud. Being thrown into another world had given him considerable gains, but his heart was set on returning home. Who knew what awaited them in that other realm?

**PS:** Sweat, yesterday I had something to do during the day and planned to write at night, but my laptop charger broke down, and my desktop computer is in the bedroom where my precious son is sleeping. I dare not go in to use it for fear of waking him up and causing a fuss. If that happens, my wife would definitely come after me. I'm truly sorry!
