yú zhè jiàn bǎo wù 。 lín zì rán zhēn xī wú 。 shǒu yī huǎng 。 huǒ qiú zhòng jīn fú 。 zhǐ bù guò guāng máng yào àn dàn yì diǎn 。 xiǎo xīn yì yì de shōu rù chǔ wù dài 。 rán hòu zhè cái tái qǐ tóu lái 。 wàng xiàng qián miàn de miào líng nǚ xiū 。
于这件宝物。林自然珍惜无。手一晃。火球重金符。只不过光芒要黯淡一点。小心翼翼的收入储物袋。然后这才抬起头来。望向前面的妙龄女修。
Regarding this treasure, Lin Ziran cherished it greatly. With a flick of his hand, the fireball transformed into a golden talisman, though its light was slightly dimmer. Carefully, he stowed it away in his storage bracelet before lifting his head to gaze at the young female cultivator ahead.
shù shí zài wèi jiàn 。 ōu yáng qín xīn fēng cǎi yī rán 。 shèn zhì yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ 。 hái yào gèng jiā měi lì dòng rén yì diǎn 。
数十载未见。欧阳琴心风采依然。甚至与以前相比。还要更加美丽动人一点。
After decades apart, Ouyang Qinxin still retained her charm and even appeared more beautiful than ever.
míng móu hào chǐ 。 jī fū shì xuě 。 jǔ shǒu tóu zú 。 gèng yǒu yī zhǒng chū chén de qì zhì 。
明眸皓齿。肌肤似雪。举手投足。更有一种出尘的气质。
Her bright eyes and pearl-like teeth shone like snow on her flawless skin. Every movement exuded an ethereal grace.
lín xuān yǐ jīng bú shì chū chū máo lú de xiǎo zi 。 duì yú xiū xiān jiè de gè zhǒng chuán wén yì shì 。 yě yǒu bù shǎo ěr wén 。 cǐ nǚ róng guāng zhào 。 yīng gāi yǔ tā suǒ xiū liàn de gōng fǎ yǒu yí dìng guān xì 。
林轩已经不是初出茅庐的小子。对于修仙界的各种传闻轶事。也有不少耳闻。此女容光照。应该与她所修炼的功法有一定关系。
Lin Xuan was no longer the inexperienced youth; he had heard many tales of the cultivation world. The light that radiated from this woman likely had something to do with the cultivation technique she practiced.
yīn bō gōng zài yōu zhōu de xiū xiān jiè 。 yě shì dà míng dǐng dǐng de dǐng jiē gōng fǎ 。 jù shuō liàn dào jí shēn chù 。 wēi lì bìng bù zài tài bái jiàn xiān de sì shèng shòu jiàn zhèn zhī xià 。
音波功在幽州的修仙界。也是大名鼎鼎的顶阶功法。据说炼到极深处。威力并不在太白剑仙的四圣兽剑阵之下。
The Sound Wave Art in Youzhou was a renowned top-grade cultivation method, rumored to rival the Four Divine Beasts Sword Formation of Great White Immortal Sword Sage when pushed to its limits.
bù guò cǐ fǎ dào bú shì bì yún shān qián bèi zǔ shī suǒ chuàng 。 ér shì yǔ lín xuān de jiǔ tiān xuán gōng yī yàng 。 yóu bǎi wàn nián qián de tài gǔ shí qī chuán chéng xià lái 。
不过此法倒不是碧云山前辈祖师所创。而是与林轩的九天玄功一样。由百万年前的太古时期传承下来。
However, it wasn't created by the senior ancestors of Bichun Mountain. Like his Nine Heavens Profound Technique, it had been passed down from the ancient era a million years ago.
shǔ yú shàng gǔ gōng fǎ zhī yī 。
属于上古功法之一。
It was one of the ancient cultivation techniques.
gǔ xiū shì shén tōng zhī qiáng 。 xiàn zài dōu hái yǒu gè zhǒng gè yàng de chuán shuō 。 suī rán yǒu bù shǎo shì yǐ chuán 。 dàn nà shí xiū xiān jiè de fán róng yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò xiàn zài shì kěn dìng de 。
古修士神通之强。现在都还有各种各样的传说。虽然有不少是以传。但那时修仙界的繁荣远远胜过现在是肯定的。
Ancient cultivators' prowess still inspired countless legends today, though many were hearsay. The prosperity of that era undoubtedly far surpassed the present day.
suǒ yǐ zhè lèi shàng gǔ gōng fǎ 。 lì yě shì qí dà 。 měi yī cì chū xiàn 。 zǒng huì xiān qǐ xīng fēng xuè yǔ 。 ràng dà xiǎo zōng mén shì lì 。 dōu jiā rù dào qiǎng duó zhōng qù 。
所以这类上古功法。力也是奇大。每一次出现。总会掀起腥风血雨。让大小宗门势力。都加入到抢夺中去。
Thus, such ancient cultivation techniques carried immense power and always stirred up bloodshed when they appeared, drawing all major sects into a struggle for possession.
rán ér yīn bō gōng què jiào wéi tè shū 。 dāng chū bì shān qiǎng duó de shí | bìng méi yǒu huā fèi tài dà de jīng lì 。 yīn wèi xiū liàn cǐ gōng de yāo qiú tài kē kè 。
然而音波功却较为特殊。当初碧山抢夺的时|并没有花费太大的精力。因为修炼此功的要求太苛刻。
However, the Sound Wave Art was somewhat unique. Bichun Mountain had not expended much effort in acquiring it because its requirements were exceedingly strict.
bì xū jù yǒu léi shǔ xìng hé shǔ xìng liǎng zhǒng biàn yì líng gēn 。 ér qiě hái de shì nǚ zǐ zhī shēn 。
必须具有雷属性和属性两种变异灵根。而且还的是女子之身。
One needed to possess both lightning and ice attributes as variant spirit roots, and importantly, one must be female.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī 。 líng gēn àn wǔ xíng fēn wéi jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ wǔ zhǒng shǔ xìng 。 fēn bié duì yìng xiū liàn bù tóng shǔ xìng de gōng fǎ 。
众所周知。灵根按五行分为金木水火土五种属性。分别对应修炼不同属性的功法。
It was well known that spirit roots fell into five elemental categories—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each corresponded to a different cultivation technique.
bù guò 。 yě yǒu jí shǎo shù xìng yùn de jiā huo 。 tiān shēng jiù yōng yǒu liǎng zhǒng huò zhě sān zhǒng shǔ xìng de líng gēn 。 cóng ér kě yǐ xiū liàn duō zhǒng gōng fǎ 。
不过。也有极少数幸运的家伙。天生就拥有两种或者三种属性的灵根。从而可以修炼多种功法。
Yet, there were rare cases where individuals naturally possessed two or three elemental spirit roots, allowing them to practice multiple techniques.
dàn zhè zhǒng rén shù liàng tài shǎo 。 tōng cháng shì jǐ qiān míng xiū shì zhī zhōng cái yǒu yí gè xìng yùn zhě 。
但这种人数量太少。通常是几千名修士之中才有一个幸运者。
But such people were few; typically, one in several thousand cultivators was lucky enough.
ér wǔ xíng líng gēn yǒu hòu yě huì fā shēng biàn 。 shuǐ shǔ xìng biàn chéng bīng shǔ xìng 。 jīn shǔ xìng biàn wèi léi shǔ xìng 。 zhè zhǒng yì líng gēn rán bǐ shèng líng gēn shāo xùn yī chóu 。 dàn yě pǔ tōng de wǔ xíng líng gēn qiáng duō 。 tóng yàng yě shì jǐ qiān rén zhōng cái huì yǒu yí gè 。
而五行灵根有候也会发生变。水属性变成冰属性。金属性变为雷属性。这种异灵根然比圣灵根稍逊一筹。但也普通的五行灵根强多。同样也是几千人中才会有一个。
Elemental spirit roots could sometimes change. Water attributes might transform into ice, and metal into lightning. Such variant spirit roots were slightly inferior to divine spirit roots but far superior to ordinary ones. They too occurred in about one out of every several thousand people.
ér yīn bō gōng de yāo qiú 。 kě yǐ shuō yǒu xiē biàn tài le 。 jū rán yào tóng shí yōng yǒu liǎng zhǒng shǔ xìng de yì líng gēn 。 zhè zhǒng jī lǜ 。 bù néng shuō wán quán méi yǒu zǒng zhī bì yún shān de dào yīn bō gōng yǐ hòu 。 yīn wèi méi yǒu zhǎo dào hé shì de rén xuǎn 。 shù qiān nián shí jiān 。 yì zhí jiāng shù zhī gāo gé zhí dào ōu yáng qín xīn chū xiàn 。
而音波功的要求。可以说有些变态了。居然要同时拥有两种属性的异灵根。这种几率。不能说完全没有总之碧云山的到音波功以后。因为没有找到合适的人选。数千年时间。一直将束之高阁直到欧阳琴心出现。
The Sound Wave Art's requirements were truly bizarre; it demanded a spirit root with both lightning and ice attributes simultaneously. The odds of such an occurrence were negligible, though not impossible. After Bichun Mountain obtained the Sound Wave Art, they had kept it unused for millennia until Ouyang Qinxin appeared.
bù guò yīn bō gōng tiáo jiàn suī rán kē kè 。 rán ér yí dàn mǎn zú 。 xiū liàn hòu de hǎo chù yě shì duō duō 。
不过音波功条件虽然苛刻。然而一旦满足。修炼后的好处也是多多。
Despite its stringent conditions, once satisfied, the benefits after cultivation were numerous.
wēi lì bú yòng shuō 。 yuǎn shèng yì bān de dǐng jiē gōng fǎ 。 yǔ lín xuān de jiǔ tiān xuán gōng xiāng bǐ yě zuì duō shāo xùn yī chóu 。 dāng rán 。 zhè zhǐ jiāng liǎng zhǒng gōng 。 dōu liàn dào zuì shēn :。
威力不用说。远胜一般的顶阶功法。与林轩的九天玄功相比也最多稍逊一筹。当然。这指将两种功。都练到最深:。
Its power was unmatched by ordinary top-grade techniques and only slightly inferior to Lin Xuan's Nine Heavens Profound Technique when both were pushed to their limits. Of course, this referred to mastering both techniques fully.
ér qiě yě yǒu zhù yán xiào guǒ 。 zhè yě shì shén me ōu yáng qín xīn kàn qǐ lái 。 yì zhí dōu shì èr shí xǔ rén de miào líng jiā rén le 。
而且也有驻颜效果。这也是什么欧阳琴心看起来。一直都是二十许人的妙龄佳人了。
It also had a rejuvenation effect, which is why Ouyang Qinxin looked perpetually in her twenties despite the years that had passed.
bù guò cǐ gōng zuì shén qí de de fāng hái shì zài xiū shì níng jié yuán yīng zhī 。 huì yǒu bǎi fēn shí de jiā chéng zuò yòng 。
不过此功最神奇的的方还是在修士凝结元婴之。会有百分十的加成作用。
The most miraculous aspect was its 10% bonus during the condensation of an essence core.
qiān wàn bú yào xiǎo kàn le zhè yì chéng de jī lǜ 。 yào zhī dào pǔ tōng de níng dān qī xiū shì 。 xiū liàn dào běn jìng de dǐng fēng yǐ hòu 。 níng jié yuán yīng 。 tōng cháng lái shuō 。 jī huì bù zú qiān fēn zhī yī 。
千万不要小看了这一成的几率。要知道普通的凝丹期修士。修炼到本境的顶峰以后。凝结元婴。通常来说。机会不足千分之一。
One should not underestimate this probability; ordinary condensation period cultivators typically only had a one-in-a-thousand chance of forming their essence cores at the peak of their cultivation.
zhèng yīn wèi rú cǐ ōu | qín xīn zài mén nèi cái rú cǐ shòu zhòng shì 。 yīn wèi yǐ tā de zī zhì 。 jiā shàng yīn bō gōng de xiào guǒ 。 bǎi nián yǐ hòu 。 yòu huì shì yī wèi yuán yīng qī xiū shì 。
正因为如此欧|琴心在门内才如此受重视。因为以她的资质。加上音波功的效果。百年以后。又会是一位元婴期修士。
This is why Ouyang Qinxin was so highly regarded within her sect. With her talent and the Sound Wave Art's effects, she would likely become an essence core cultivator in a century.
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng 。 piàn kè jiù zhuǎn guò le zhè xǔ duō niàn tou 。 zhèng yù kāi kǒu 。 ōu yáng qín xīn què xiān liǎn wèi lǐ le ：“ xiè xiè shǎo mén zhǔ chū shǒu xiàng zhù 。 ruò fēi gé xià yuán shǒu qín xīn kǒng pà yǐ jīng huī fēi yān miè 。”
林轩脑海中。片刻就转过了这许多念头。正欲开口。欧阳琴心却先敛为礼了：“谢谢少门主出手相助。若非阁下援手琴心恐怕已经灰飞烟灭。”
Lin Xuan's mind raced with these thoughts before he spoke. "Thank you, Young Master for your assistance. If not for your aid, I might have perished."
“ hē hē xiān zi tài kè qì le 。” lín xuān huí le yī lǐ 。 shuō zhè huà shí liǎng rén mù guāng xiāng shì 。 xīn zhōng què dōu mò míng qí miào de yǒng qǐ yī zhǒng yǒu diǎn gǔ guài de gǎn jué 。
“呵呵仙子太客气了。”林轩回了一礼。说这话时两人目光相视。心中却都莫名其妙的涌起一种有点古怪的感觉。
"Ah, it is nothing," Lin Xuan replied, bowing slightly as their eyes met. Both felt an odd and inexplicable connection.
yī shí zhī jiān 。 liǎng rén dōu yǒu zài shuō huà 。 yáng qín xīn de liǎn shàng 。 gèng fú xiàn chū yī céng dàn dàn de hóng xiá 。
一时之间。两人都有再说话。阳琴心的脸上。更浮现出一层淡淡的红霞。
For a moment, neither knew what to say. A faint blush appeared on Ouyang Qinxin's face.
“ qū qū èr shí yú zài wèi jiàn 。 dào yǒu shén tōng jìng jīng jìn zhì cǐ 。 qín xīn zài zhè lǐ 。 gōng xǐ shǎo mén zhǔ jīn dān dà chéng le 。” ōu yáng qín xīn lǐ le lǐ fà 。 xiān kāi kǒu dǎ pò le jiāng jú 。 liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yì chēn yì xǐ 。
“区区二十余载未见。道友神通竟精进至此。琴心在这里。恭喜少门主金丹大成了。”欧阳琴心理了理发。先开口打破了僵局。脸上的表情亦嗔亦喜。
"After over two decades apart, my friend, your cultivation has truly advanced. I congratulate you on your Golden Core Formation," Ouyang Qinxin said, breaking the silence with a smile that was both playful and pleased.
“ xiè xiè 。 lín mǒu zhǐ shì jiǎo xìng ér yǐ 。” xuān huí guò shén lái 。 fàng chū shén shí 。 gǎn yìng le yī xià sì zhōu ：“ xiān zi 。 cǐ de bù yí jiǔ liú 。 wǒ men hái shì lìng zhǎo de fāng xù jiù 。”
“谢谢。林某只是侥幸而已。”轩回过神来。放出神识。感应了一下四周：“仙子。此的不宜久留。我们还是另找的方叙旧。”
"Thank you, it was merely luck." Lin Xuan regained his composure and extended his spirit sense to scan the surroundings. "Ouyang Fairy, we should leave this place quickly; let's find another location to catch up."
“ hǎo 。” ōu yáng qín xīn zì rán méi yǒu yì yì 。 cái dǎ dī nà yàng fān tiān fù de 。 kěn dìng yǐ jīng ràng gè fāng shì lì zhù yì dào le zhè lǐ 。
“好。”欧阳琴心自然没有异议。才打的那样翻天覆的。肯定已经让各方势力注意到了这里。
"Agreed," Ouyang Qinxin had no objections. The chaos they had caused would surely have drawn attention from various factions.
“ shì 。 shào yé 。”
“是。少爷。”
"Yes, Young Master."
lín xuān shǒu yī zhāo 。 yuè ér jiù huà wèi yī dào bái fēi huí le tā de yī xiù 。 ōu yáng qín xīn de liǎn shàng lù chū yī fēn chī jīng de shén sè 。 chún wēi qǐ 。 yù yán yòu zhǐ 。
林轩手一招。月儿就化为一道白飞回了他的衣袖。欧阳琴心的脸上露出一分吃惊的神色。唇微启。欲言又止。
Lin Xuan waved his hand, and Moon transformed into a white light that returned to his sleeve. Ouyang Qinxin's face showed surprise as she opened her mouth but hesitated.
“ xiǎo yā tou shì wǒ de guǐ pū 。 yǐ jīng yǒu níng dān qī de xiū wèi le 。” zhè jiàn shì qíng chí zǎo xū yào jiě shì 。 lín xuān dàn dàn de shuō le yī jù 。
“小丫头是我的鬼仆。已经有凝丹期的修为了。”这件事情迟早需要解释。林轩淡淡的说了一句。
"This little girl is my ghost servant; she has already reached the condensation period," Lin Xuan said nonchalantly.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。 shǎo mén zhǔ zhēn ràng qín xīn guā mù xiāng kàn 。 jù wǒ suǒ zhī 。 chú le jí è mó zūn nà lǎo guài wù 。 hái méi yǒu rén yōng yǒu níng dān qī de guǐ pū 。” ōu yáng qín xīn yǎn kǒu qīng xiào 。 liǎn shàng lù chū pèi fú zhī sè 。
“原来如此。少门主真让琴心刮目相看。据我所知。除了极恶魔尊那老怪物。还没有人拥有凝丹期的鬼仆。”欧阳琴心掩口轻笑。脸上露出佩服之色。
"Ah, I see. Young Master truly astounds me. To my knowledge, only the Old Demon Sovereign possesses a condensation period ghost servant," Ouyang Qinxin chuckled, her expression filled with admiration.
“ jī yuán qiǎo hé bà le 。 zhè jiàn shì qíng 。 hái wàng xiān zi bǎo mì yī èr 。 rú jīn xíng shì tè shū 。 wǒ gèng bù xiǎng jīng shì hài sú ”
“机缘巧合罢了。这件事情。还望仙子保密一二。如今形势特殊。我更不想惊世骇俗”
"It was just luck. Please keep this secret for me; things are too special now, and I don't want to shock the world."
“ fàng xīn 。 qín xīn lǐ huì de 。”
“放心。琴心理会的。”
"Rest assured, I will understand."
shuō wán zhè huà 。 liǎng rén gè zhǎn shén tōng 。 fēn bié huà wèi qīng bái liǎng dào jīng hóng 。 pò kōng ér qù le 。
说完这话。两人各展神通。分别化为青白两道惊虹。破空而去了。
After saying this, both displayed their abilities, transforming into green and white streaks of light that broke through the air.
dùn guāng xùn sù 。 piàn kè hòu 。 jiù fēi chū le shù bǎi lǐ zhī yáo 。 guāng huá shōu liǎn 。 liǎng rén zài yī chù huāng shān jiàng luò xià lái 。
遁光迅速。片刻后。就飞出了数百里之遥。光华收敛。两人在一处荒山降落下来。
Their speed was swift. In a short while, they had flown several hundred miles away before their lights dimmed as they landed on an abandoned hill.
“ yí 。 jìn zhì ？”
“咦。禁制？”
"Hmm, aprohibition?"
lín xuān shén shí yī sǎo 。 fā xiàn jū rán xiàng shì pèng dào wú xíng zhī wù shì de fǎn tán le huí lái 。 liǎn shàng bù yóu lù chū yī sī jīng yà zhī yì 。
林轩神识一扫。发现居然像是碰到无形之物似的反弹了回来。脸上不由露出一丝惊讶之意。
Lin Xuan's spirit sense detected something akin to an invisible barrier bouncing back. His face showed surprise.
ōu yáng qín xīn wēi wēi yī xiào 。 bù jiě shì 。 yù shǒu yī fān 。 zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng yǐ duō chū le yī kuài yín sè de lìng pái 。
欧阳琴心微微一笑。不解释。玉手一翻。掌心之中已多出了一块银色的令牌。
Ouyang Qinxin smiled and did not explain further. She flicked her wrist, revealing a silver token in her palm.
yù shǒu wēi yáng 。 yī dào xiá guāng cóng lǐ miàn fēi shè chū lái 。 mò rù jìn le huāng shān lǐ miàn 。
玉手微扬。一道霞光从里面飞射出来。没入进了荒山里面。
With a slight wave of her hand, a beam of light shot out from the token and entered the hillside.
piàn kè hòu 。 bàn suí zhe qīng wēi de lóng lóng shēng xiǎng 。 yǎn qián jǐng wù yī zhèn mó hú 。 qīng shān lǜ shuǐ 。 yù yù cōng cōng 。 chōng yù de líng qì pū miàn ér lái 。
片刻后。伴随着轻微的隆隆声响。眼前景物一阵模糊。青山绿水。郁郁葱葱。充裕的灵气扑面而来。
Moments later, accompanied by faint rumbling sounds, the scenery before them blurred into view. The greenery was lush and vibrant, with abundant spiritual energy rushing towards them.
lín xuān dà wèi dòng róng 。 cǐ nǎi huàn zhèn tā dāng rán rèn shí 。 bù guò néng jiāng rú cǐ yōu yì de líng mài zhē zhù hái zhēn shì dà shǒu bǐ 。 yào zhī dào zhè lǐ kě shì lún xiàn qū 。
林轩大为动容。此乃幻阵他当然认识。不过能将如此优异的灵脉遮住还真是大手笔。要知道这里可是沦陷区。
Lin Xuan was greatly impressed; this was a illusionary formation he recognized well. However, to conceal such an excellent spirit vein required great effort. After all, they were in occupied territory.
“ zhè shì wǒ bì yún shān de yī chǔ fèn tán 。” ōu yáng qín xīn wēi xiào zhe jiě shì 。
“这是我碧云山的一处分坛。”欧阳琴心微笑着解释。
"This is one of Bichun Mountain's branches," Ouyang Qinxin explained with a smile.
lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu 。 liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè 。 kàn lái jǐ gè yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù guǒ rán lǎo móu shēn suàn 。 bìng méi yǒu duì yǐ jīng lún xiàn de qū yù bù wèn bù guǎn 。 bì yún shān jū rán zài zhè lǐ shè yǒu fēn tán 。
林轩点点头。脸上露出若有所思之色。看来几个元婴期老怪物果然老谋深算。并没有对已经沦陷的区域不问不管。碧云山居然在这里设有分坛。
Lin Xuan nodded, his expression thoughtful. It seemed the few old monsters indeed had deep plans; Bichun Mountain had established a branch here despite the area being under occupation.
duì yú ōu yáng qín xīn yě duō le yī fèn hǎo gǎn 。 zhè yàng de mì mì tā dōu bù bì zì jǐ 。 kàn lái guǒ rán shì jiāng zì jǐ dàng chéng le kě yǐ xīn de péng yǒu 。
对于欧阳琴心也多了一份好感。这样的秘密她都不避自己。看来果然是将自己当成了可以心的朋友。
He felt more goodwill towards her for sharing such secrets. Clearly, she regarded him as a friend to confide in.
lín xuān zhèng xiǎng kāi kǒu 。 cóng nà qīng shān zhī zhōng 。 fēi chū le shù dào guāng huá 。 lái dào miàn qián tíng xià 。
林轩正想开口。从那青山之中。飞出了数道光华。来到面前停下。
Just as Lin Xuan was about to speak, several beams of light shot out from the greenery, stopping before them.
sān nán liǎng nǚ 。 quán dōu yǒu zhù jī qī yǐ shàng de xiū wèi 。 wéi shǒu de yī míng nǚ zǐ 。 gèng shì dà yuán mǎn jìng jiè de xiū shì 。 kàn jiàn ōu yáng qín xīn 。 liǎn shàng wú bù lù chū yǒu jīng yòu xǐ de biǎo qíng 。
三男两女。全都有筑基期以上的修为。为首的一名女子。更是大圆满境界的修士。看见欧阳琴心。脸上无不露出有惊又喜的表情。
Three men and two women, all above the foundation stage, approached with expressions of surprise and joy upon seeing Ouyang Qinxin.
Regarding this treasure, Lin Ziran cherished it greatly. With a flick of his hand, the fireball transformed into a golden talisman, though its light was slightly dimmer. Carefully, he stowed it away in his storage bracelet before lifting his head to gaze at the young female cultivator ahead.
After decades apart, Ouyang Qinxin still retained her charm and even appeared more beautiful than ever.
Her bright eyes and pearl-like teeth shone like snow on her flawless skin. Every movement exuded an ethereal grace.
Lin Xuan was no longer the inexperienced youth; he had heard many tales of the cultivation world. The light that radiated from this woman likely had something to do with the cultivation technique she practiced.
The Sound Wave Art in Youzhou was a renowned top-grade cultivation method, rumored to rival the Four Divine Beasts Sword Formation of Great White Immortal Sword Sage when pushed to its limits.
However, it wasn't created by the senior ancestors of Bichun Mountain. Like his Nine Heavens Profound Technique, it had been passed down from the ancient era a million years ago.
It was one of the ancient cultivation techniques.
Ancient cultivators' prowess still inspired countless legends today, though many were hearsay. The prosperity of that era undoubtedly far surpassed the present day.
Thus, such ancient cultivation techniques carried immense power and always stirred up bloodshed when they appeared, drawing all major sects into a struggle for possession.
However, the Sound Wave Art was somewhat unique. Bichun Mountain had not expended much effort in acquiring it because its requirements were exceedingly strict.
One needed to possess both lightning and ice attributes as variant spirit roots, and importantly, one must be female.
It was well known that spirit roots fell into five elemental categories—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each corresponded to a different cultivation technique.
Yet, there were rare cases where individuals naturally possessed two or three elemental spirit roots, allowing them to practice multiple techniques.
But such people were few; typically, one in several thousand cultivators was lucky enough.

"Agreed," Ouyang Qinxin had no objections. The chaos they had caused would surely have drawn attention from various factions.
"Moon."
"Yes, Young Master."
Lin Xuan waved his hand, and Moon transformed into a white light that returned to his sleeve. Ouyang Qinxin's face showed surprise as she opened her mouth but hesitated.
"This little girl is my ghost servant; she has already reached the condensation period," Lin Xuan said nonchalantly.

Ouyang Qinxin smiled and did not explain further. She flicked her wrist, revealing a silver token in her palm.
With a slight wave of her hand, a beam of light shot out from the token and entered the hillside.
Moments later, accompanied by faint rumbling sounds, the scenery before them blurred into view. The greenery was lush and vibrant, with abundant spiritual energy rushing towards them.
Lin Xuan was greatly impressed; this was a illusionary formation he recognized well. However, to conceal such an excellent spirit vein required great effort. After all, they were in occupied territory.
"This is one of Bichun Mountain's branches," Ouyang Qinxin explained with a smile.
Lin Xuan nodded, his expression thoughtful. It seemed the few old monsters indeed had deep plans; Bichun Mountain had established a branch here despite the area being under occupation.
He felt more goodwill towards her for sharing such secrets. Clearly, she regarded him as a friend to confide in.
Just as Lin Xuan was about to speak, several beams of light shot out from the greenery, stopping before them.
Three men and two women, all above the foundation stage, approached with expressions of surprise and joy upon seeing Ouyang Qinxin.
