百炼成仙第三卷幽州乱第四百九十七章巧布暗棋
Lin Xuan nodded. The young master indeed did a thorough job.
ér diǎn diǎn tóu 。 shào yé zuò shì qíng guǒ rán dī shuǐ bù lòu 。
儿点点头。少爷做事情果然滴水不漏。
As for Lin Xuan, he was conversing with the little girl in his mind while walking briskly forward. Suddenly, a somewhat familiar figure caught his eye.
zhì yú lín xuān 。 zé yī biān hé xiǎo yā tou zài nǎo hǎi zhōng jiāo tán 。 yī biān kuài bù xiàng qián zǒu 。 tū rán 。 yī lüè yǒu xiē shú xī de shēn yǐng yìng rù yǎn lián 。
至于林轩。则一边和小丫头在脑海中交谈。一边快步向前走。突然。一略有些熟悉的身影映入眼帘。
Lin Xuan paused, surprised to see this woman here. She was a middle-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator, around seventeen or eighteen years old, and her beauty was breathtaking.
lín xuān yī dāi 。 méi yǒu xiǎng huì zài zhè lǐ pèng jiàn cǐ nǚ 。
林轩一呆。没有想会在这里碰见此女。
"Young Master."
nà shì yī wèi zhù jī zhōng qī de nǚ xiū 。 dà yuē shí qī bā suì nián jì 。 róng mào gèng shì měi lì yǐ jí 。
那是一位筑基中期的女修。大约十七八岁年纪。容貌更是美丽以极。
Seeing Lin Xuan, she showed surprise on her face but quickly replaced it with joy as she flashed past him, the fragrance wafting behind her.
“ shǎo zhǔ 。”
“少主。”
Her eyes blinked, and she bowed respectfully, like she was bowing to Lin Xuan. Her eyes were filled with joy and gratitude.
kàn jiàn lín xuān 。 tā liǎn tóng yàng lù chū jīng è zhī sè 。 bù guò hěn kuài jiù bèi xǐ yuè dài tì le 。 shēn xíng yī shǎn 。 xiāng fēng yì rán 。 yǐ piāo rán lái dào le qián miàn 。
看见林轩。她脸同样露出惊愕之色。不过很快就被喜悦代替了。身形一闪。香风亦然。已飘然来到了前面。
"Why are you here?"
měi mù zhǎ le xià 。 liǎn rèn yī lǐ 。 jiù xiàng lín xuān bài le xià qù 。 yǎn zhōng chōng mǎn le xǐ yuè yǔ gǎn jī 。
美目眨了下。敛衽一礼。就像林轩拜了下去。眼中充满了喜悦与感激。
"I shouldn't be called that way. Just call me by my nickname," she said with an extremely respectful expression.
“ yè xiǎo jiě zěn me huì lǐ ？”
“叶小姐怎么会里？”
"Alright."
“ bù gǎn dāng shǎo zhǔ rú cǐ chēng hū 。 nín huàn wǒ xiǎo míng ér jiù kě yǐ le 。” cǐ nǚ lù chū gōng jìng wú bǐ de shén sè 。
“不敢当少主如此称呼。您唤我小名儿就可以了。”此女露出恭敬无比的神色。
Lin Xuan did not fuss over it. She was named Ye Ru, the former Miss Ye of the family. The Ye family had been a branch of Spirit Medicine Mountain, and Lin Xuan owed them great favors, so there was no need for excessive politeness.
“ hǎo ba 。”
“好吧。”
"I'll take a walk with you, Ru. I have some things to teach."
lín xuān dào yě méi yǒu jiǎo qíng 。 cǐ nǚ xìng yè míng 。 xī rì nǎi yè jiā de dà xiǎo jiě 。 yè jiā běn jiù shì líng yào shān de fēn zhī 。 lín xuān yòu duì tā men yǒu mò dà de ēn dé 。 zì rán bù yòng guò yú kè qì de 。
林轩倒也没有矫情。此女姓叶名。昔日乃叶家的大小姐。叶家本就是灵药山的分支。林轩又对他们有莫大的恩德。自然不用过于客气的。
"Of course, Young Master."
“ rú ér 。 péi wǒ zǒu zǒu 。 yǒu xiē wèn tí wǒ yào jiào 。”
“茹儿。陪我走走。有些问题我要教。”
She nodded and led the way. Soon they arrived at a secluded area.
“ shì 。 shǎo zhǔ 。”
“是。少主。”
This was a delicate pavilion, and Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction. Even Spirit Medicine Mountain's main peak had been rebuilt recently, appearing much wider and more magnificent than before.
cǐ nǚ diǎn diǎn tóu 。 dāng yǐn lù 。 bù yī huì er 。 jiù lái dào le pì jìng zhī chù 。
此女点点头。当引路。不一会儿。就来到了僻静之处。
Although the pavilion itself carried some restrictions, Lin Xuan waved his hand and set up an outer soundproof barrier around them.
zhè shì yī chù jīng qiǎo gé lóu 。 lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè 。 biàn shì líng yào shān de zhǔ fēng 。 yě míng xiǎn chóng xīn xiū jiàn guò 。 yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ 。 kuān chǎng huá měi le xǔ duō 。
这是一处精巧阁楼。林轩脸上露出满意之色。便是灵药山的主峰。也明显重新修建过。与以前相比。宽敞华美了许多。
Ye Ru was taken aback but said nothing, her mind filled with curiosity. The young master seemed so careful—was he about to discuss something confidential?
suī rán gé lóu běn shēn 。 yǐ dài yǒu yī xiē jìn 。 dàn lín xuān hái shì yī yáng shǒu 。 zài zhōu wéi bù xià le yī céng gé yīn zhào 。
虽然阁楼本身。已带有一些禁。但林轩还是一扬手。在周围布下了一层隔音罩。
"Young Master, are you worried about something?" she asked after a moment of silence. "Do you think there's been a rebellion in the sect?"
yè rú yí zhèng 。 yǎo le yǎo | chún 。 méi yǒu shuō shén me 。 dàn xīn zhōng què dà gǎn hào qí 。 shǎo zhǔ rú cǐ xiǎo xīn yì yì 。 nán dào shì yào yǔ zì jǐ tán shén me yǐn mì ？
叶茹一怔。咬了咬|唇。没有说什么。但心中却大感好奇。少主如此小心翼翼。难道是要与自己谈什么隐秘？
"Not exactly," she replied. "I just feel that the atmosphere is somewhat eerie."
“ xiān shuō shuō 。 wèi shén me huì zài zhè lǐ ？”
“先说说。为什么会在这里？”
"Do not worry, Young Master. That was only smoke and mirrors we deliberately released to confuse outsiders. The Sect Leader has already closed himself off for cultivation and is now trying to form an婴."
“ shǎo zhǔ yǒu suǒ bù zhī bù zhǐ shī 。 zhěng yè jiā dōu yǐ jīng lái dào le líng yào shān 。 chóng xīn róng rù běn pài 。”
“少主有所不知不止师。整叶家都已经来到了灵药山。重新融入本派。”
"What? Is our master preparing to form an婴?"
“ ó ？” lín xuān yí zhèng bù guò zǐ xì xiǎng xiǎng 。 yě jiù shì rán 。 yè jiā de xiān zǔ 。 jiù shì tiān chén zhēn rén de jì míng dì 。 hòu lái suī zì chéng yī pài 。 dàn yǔ běn mén què yì zhí ǒu duàn sī lián zài qīng yè shān luò hù 。 shuō bù dìng jiù shì wèi shōu fú gè dà xiǎo jiā zú zuò bǐ de rú jīn | de yǐ jīng dá dào 。 huí guī běn yuán - cì yǔ líng yào shān hé èr wéi yī 。 shì yě bú shì yī jiàn qí guài zhī shì 。
“哦？”林轩一怔不过仔细想想。也就释然。叶家的先祖。就是天尘真人的记名弟。后来虽自成一派。但与本门却一直藕断丝连在青叶山落户。说不定就是为收伏各大小家族做笔的如今|的已经达到。回归本源-次与灵药山合二为一。似也不是一件奇怪之事。
Lin Xuan's eyes widened in surprise. He had heard rumors of this before, but they turned out to be false. Could it be that Truefeather Master was indeed about to enter the realm of an婴?
hé kuàng lín xuān jì de yè céng jīng bài wǎn qiū wèi shī 。 zhè wèi níng dān qī de nǚ zhǎng lǎo lín suī bù shú xī 。 dàn zài líng yào shān yě pǒ yǒu de wèi de yàng zi 。
何况林轩记的叶曾经拜婉秋为师。这位凝丹期的女长老林虽不熟悉。但在灵药山也颇有的位的样子。
"How so? Young Master," she asked.
guài bù de cǐ nǚ néng chéng wéi hé xīn chéng yuán 。 zài zhǔ fēng chū xiàn 。
怪不的此女能成为核心成员。在主峰出现。
"Six Disciplinary Elders are back. The sect has gathered over a hundred Condensation Core Elders."
“ yě zhī xiǎo 。 wǒ lí kāi líng yào shān yǒu yī shí jiān 。 zhè cì huí lái 。 què gǎn jué yǒu xiē qí guài 。 jìn zhì dà zhèn wèi hé dǎ kāi 。 shī zūn què bù qián lòu miàn ？” lín xuān kàn zhe yè rú de yǎn jīng yī zì yī dùn 。
“也知晓。我离开灵药山有一时间。这次回来。却感觉有些奇怪。禁制大阵为何打开。师尊却不前露面？”林轩看着叶茹的眼睛一字一顿。
"Hundred?" Lin Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, knowing there were many hidden experts within the sect but not expecting such a large number.
“ shǎo zhǔ yuán lái shì dān xīn gè 。 nǐ yǐ wéi běn mén fā shēng le pàn luàn ？” tīng le lín xuān de wèn tí 。 yè rú sōng le kǒu qì 。 zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì 。
“少主原来是担心个。你以为本门发生了叛乱？”听了林轩的问题。叶茹松了口气。嘴角边流露出一丝笑意。
"These hundred senior brothers and sisters include six who hold high positions among ordinary elders. They have all reached the peak of Condensation Core cultivation and are practicing top-tier divine techniques," Ye Ru said, organizing her thoughts before continuing: "The Six Disciplinary Elders usually assist the Sect Leader in managing various affairs at Spirit Medicine Mountain. Now that he has closed himself off for cultivation, and you're away, they naturally take over."
pàn luàn dào bù zhì yú 。 wǒ zhǐ jué de qì fēn yǒu xiē guǐ yì 。”
叛乱倒不至于。我只觉的气氛有些诡异。”
"Hmm, I understand. No need to explain further; I know what's going on, and there are no grudges," Lin Xuan said with a smile as he waved his hand.
“ shǎo zhǔ duō lǜ le 。 nà shì wǒ men gù yì shì fàng chū lái mí huò páng rén de yān wù ér yǐ zhǎng mén zhēn rén bù jǐn píng ān wú shì ér | dà xǐ 。”
“少主多虑了。那是我们故意释放出来迷惑旁人的烟雾而已掌门真人不仅平安无事而|大喜。”
"What about the other six Disciplinary Elders?"
“ dà xǐ ？” lín xuān méi yī zhòu 。 xiǎn rán méi yǒu lǐ jiě duì fāng suǒ shuō de hán yì 。
“大喜？”林轩眉一皱。显然没有理解对方所说的含义。
"I'm not sure about that either. But after all the cultivators returned from their various regions, over one hundred Condensation Core Elders were present."
“ jiù zài yí yuè yǐ qián zhǎng mén zhēn rén yǐ rán bì guān 。 zhèng zài chōng jī yuán yīng 。”
“就在一月以前掌门真人已然闭关。正在冲击元婴。”
"Really?" Lin Xuan's expression changed, surprised by the number of hidden experts within the sect.
“ shén me 。 shī zūn zài zhǔn bèi jié yīng ？”
“什么。师尊在准备结婴？”
"These six senior brothers and sisters are at the forefront, with positions higher than ordinary elders. They have all reached the peak of Condensation Core cultivation," Ye Ru explained: "They not only possess top-tier divine techniques but also practice them."
lín xuān dà chī yī jīng 。 yǐ yě céng tīng dào xiē xǔ chuán wén 。 bù guò hòu lái què zhèng míng shì jiǎ xiāo xī 。 kě zhè huí líng yào shān dà dí 。 nán dào tōng yǔ zhēn rén zhēn jiāng tà rù yuán yīng qī ？
林轩大吃一惊。以也曾听到些许传闻。不过后来却证明是假消息。可这回灵药山大敌。难道通羽真人真将踏入元婴期？
Lin Xuan took out two items from his storage space: a jade bracelet he had obtained recently, which had countless uses and could be refined to unleash powerful abilities, and three middle-grade Foundation Establishment pills.
“ zěn me le 。 shǎo |”
“怎么了。少|”
"This jade bracelet is a treasure I obtained. It has countless uses once refined. These three middle-grade Foundation Establishment pills will help you when your cultivation hits a bottleneck," Lin Xuan said as he handed the items to her.
“ méi yǒu 。 zhǐ shì xiāo xī tài tū rán 。 yǒu xiē tài guò gāo xìng ér yǐ 。” lín xuān hěn kuài jiù huī fù le zhèng cháng zhī sè 。 liǎn shàng sī háo yì sè bù lù de wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“没有。只是消息太突然。有些太过高兴而已。”林轩很快就恢复了正常之色。脸上丝毫异色不露的微笑着说。
"Thank you, Young Master," Ye Ru was stunned. She looked at the bracelet, its rare and exquisite appearance shining with divine light, and she knew the value of the middle-grade Foundation Establishment pills.
“ nà liù dà zhí fǎ zhǎng lǎo yòu shì zěn me huí shì ？”
“那六大执法长老又是怎么回事？”
"You did not have to give me these gifts for just answering a few simple questions. Other elders could easily find out from you."
“ zhè ge qiè shēn yě bú shì hěn qīng chǔ 。 zhǐ shì tīng běn mén zài gè de de xiū shì quán bù huí guī yǐ hòu 。 guāng shì níng dān qī zhǎng lǎo 。 jiù yǒu bǎi rén zhī duō 。”
“这个妾身也不是很清楚。只是听本门在各的的修士全部回归以后。光是凝丹期长老。就有百人之多。”
"Why would I not want them?"
“ ó ？” lín xuān sǒng rán róng 。 suī rán zhī dào běn mén yǐn cáng le xǔ duō gāo shǒu 。 kě méi xiǎng dào shù liàng jìng dào le rú cǐ jīng rén de bù 。
“哦？”林轩耸然容。虽然知道本门隐藏了许多高手。可没想到数量竟到了如此惊人的步。
"Of course, thank Young Master," Ye Ru bowed deeply, her face flushing with gratitude.
“ zhè bǎi wèi shī shū bó zhōng 。 yòu yǐ liù rén jū shǒu 。 de wèi bǐ pǔ tōng zhǎng lǎo gāo shàng yī chóu 。 tīng shuō tā men bù jǐn rén rén yǒu níng dān qī dǐng fēng de xiū 。 ér qiě suǒ xiū liàn de 。 wú yī bú shì dǐng jiē de shén tōng 。” yè rú zhěng lǐ le yī xià sī xù 。 yīng chún wēi qǐ 。 de xiàng lín xuān jiǎng shù ：“ píng rì lǐ 。 liù dà zhí fǎ zhǎng lǎo xié zhù zhǎng mén zhēn rén 。 chù | líng yào shān de gè zhǒng shì wù 。 rú jīn zhǎng mén bì guān le 。 shǎo zhǔ yòu yuǎn yóu wèi huí 。 men zì rán 。”
“这百位师叔伯中。又以六人居首。的位比普通长老高上一筹。听说他们不仅人人有凝丹期顶峰的修。而且所修炼的。无一不是顶阶的神通。”叶茹整理了一下思绪。樱唇微启。的像林轩讲述：“平日里。六大执法长老协助掌门真人。处|灵药山的各种事物。如今掌门闭关了。少主又远游未回。们自然。”
Lin Xuan waved his hand to remove the soundproof barrier and appeared several dozen feet away as he turned another corner. Soon after, Mo'er's voice echoed in his mind.
“ ń 。 bú yòng shuō le 。 wǒ xīn zhōng qīng chǔ 。 yě bìng méi yǒu yuàn zhī yì 。” lín xuān wēi wēi yī xiào 。 bǎi le bǎi shǒu 。 yè rú rán yǒu xiē wù huì le zì jǐ de yì si 。
“嗯。不用说了。我心中清楚。也并没有怨之意。”林轩微微一笑。摆了摆手。叶茹然有些误会了自己的意思。
"You gave so many benefits to that female cultivator. Why would she like you?"
“ shì 。”
“是。”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Xuan frowned. The young master was indeed a frivolous person, but he had his reasons.
shào nǚ dī xià tou 。 bù gǎn kǒu 。 zhè wèi dà xiǎo rì pí qì jiāo zòng 。 bù guò zì cóng fù qīn qù shì yǐ hòu 。 sì hū dǒng shì chéng shú le bù shǎo 。
少女低下头。不敢口。这位大小日脾气娇纵。不过自从父亲去世以后。似乎懂事成熟了不少。
"I thought the young master was such a frivolous person, but your actions make me confused."
lín xuān dǎ liàng le tā yī yǎn 。 tū rán xīn zhōng yī dòng ：“ rú ér 。 tīng shuō nǐ bài le wǎn qiū zhǎng lǎo wèi shī 。 jìn zhǎn dào yě xùn jié 。 zhè cái qū qū shù zài yǐ 。 jiù yǐ dào le zhù jī zhōng qī 。”
林轩打量了她一眼。突然心中一动：“茹儿。听说你拜了婉秋长老为师。进展倒也迅捷。这才区区数载已。就已到了筑基中期。”
"Nothing much. I'm just laying some groundwork for the future," Lin Xuan said calmly.
“ shǎo zhǔ miù zàn le 。 qiè shēn zī zhì zhǐ shì yì bān ér yǐ 。 rú hé néng yǔ shǎo zhǔ de jīng cái jué yàn xiāng bǐ 。”
“少主谬赞了。妾身资质只是一般而已。如何能与少主的惊才绝艳相比。”
"Laying groundwork for the future... does that mean you're going to enslave her?"
“ jīng cái jué yàn ma 。 hēng 。” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī xiào yì ：“ hǎo le 。 bù shuō zhè xiē 。 xiāng
“惊才绝艳吗。哼。”林轩嘴角边露出一丝笑意：“好了。不说这些。相
"No." Lin Xuan shook his head. "What is a master-servant blood pact? It requires mutual consent and no resistance from either party. This woman's situation is different from Ying'er and Xin."
yǒu yuán 。 hé kuàng yě dá le wǒ bù shǎo wèn tí 。 xiǎo xiǎo lǐ wù jiù | gěi de jiàn miàn lǐ 。”
有缘。何况也答了我不少问题。小小礼物就|给的见面礼。”
"Different?"
lín xuān shuō wán 。 zài chǔ wù shàng yī pāi 。 qǔ chū le liǎng yàng dōng xī lái 。
林轩说完。在储物上一拍。取出了两样东西来。
"Of course. Both Ying'er and Xin are low-ranking disciples with ordinary talents. Without my help, they might not even be able to form the Foundation after a hundred years of cultivation. In such cases, I first show them favors and promise many benefits. They're not fools; they'll naturally be grateful and loyal."
“ zhè fěi cuì shǒu zhuó nǎi wǒ rì suǒ de de yī jiàn bǎo wù 。 miào yòng wú qióng 。 liàn huà yǐ hòu 。 yīng gāi néng gòu fā huī chū bù xiǎo de shén tōng 。 hái yǒu zhè zhù jī dān 。 suī rán zhǐ yǒu sān lì 。 dàn dōu shì zhōng pǐn 。 dāng xiū liàn yù dào píng zhī shí 。 yīng gāi yǐ zhù yī bì zhī 。” lín xuān shuō wán 。 jiāng liǎng jiàn bǎo wù dì dào le shào nǚ de shǒu lǐ 。
“这翡翠手镯乃我日所的的一件宝物。妙用无穷。炼化以后。应该能够发挥出不小的神通。还有这筑基丹。虽然只有三粒。但都是中品。当修炼遇到瓶之时。应该以助一臂之。”林轩说完。将两件宝物递到了少女的手里。
"However, Ye Ru is different. Although I saved her family, it was just following orders. Moreover, as the Miss of the Ye Family with Elder Wanyao as a teacher, she has extraordinary talents. Even if I didn't investigate thoroughly, she's undoubtedly an Ice-type spirit root. As long as nothing goes wrong, forming a Golden Core in the future shouldn't be too difficult."
“ zhè 。” yè rú dāi zhù le 。 kàn zhuó shǒu zhōng de shǒu zhuó 。 bǎo guāng liú zhuǎn 。 shì hǎn jiàn de jí pǐn líng qì 。 zhì yú zhōng pǐn zhù dān de jià zhí 。 tā xīn zhōng gèng shì yǔ míng jìng xiāng sì 。
“这。”叶茹呆住了。看着手中的手镯。宝光流转。是罕见的极品灵器。至于中品筑丹的价值。她心中更是与明镜相似。
"Why would you have any right to enslave such a promising woman?" Mo'er was speechless.
suǒ wèi wú gōng bù shòu lù 。 zì jǐ bù guò huí dá le jǐ gè jiǎn dān de wèn tí 。 zhè xiē shì qíng 。 shào yé zhǎo bié de zhǎng lǎo dǎ tīng 。 tóng yàng néng gòu qīng yì de zhī 。 tā zhè shì 。
所谓无功不受禄。自己不过回答了几个简单的问题。这些事情。少爷找别的长老打听。同样能够轻易的知。他这是。
"Indeed," Mo'er said hesitantly: "But if you don't like her and can't buy her, why go through so much trouble to give her many benefits?"
“ zěn me 。 bù xiǎng yào ？”
“怎么。不想要？”
"Haha. Mo'er is mistaken. This woman cannot sign a blood pact with me, but who says I can't buy her? Didn't I just do that?" Lin Xuan asked.
“ bù 。 xiè shǎo zhǔ cì 。” yè rú dào yě shì hěn cōng míng de nǚ hái 。 wān yāo xíng le yī lǐ 。 liǎn shàng liú tǎng guò yī sī hóng 。
“不。谢少主赐。”叶茹倒也是很聪明的女孩。弯腰行了一礼。脸上流淌过一丝红。
"Ah," Mo'er's face turned red in embarrassment. She felt depressed: "Young Master, you're not giving away secrets. Just tell Mo'er."
lín xuān yáng shǒu jiāng gé yīn zhào jiě chú 。 shēn xíng yī 。 chū xiàn zài le shù shí zhàng kāi wài 。 dài yòu guò yí gè wān 。 yuè ér de shēng yīn zài nǎo hǎi zhōng xiǎng le qǐ lái 。
林轩扬手将隔音罩解除。身形一。出现在了数十丈开外。待又过一个弯。月儿的声音在脑海中响了起来。
"A master-servant blood pact is one thing; buying someone else is another. A promising female cultivator like Ye Ru cannot be made to obey me blindly, but under certain circumstances, I can make her listen or follow my wishes," Lin Xuan explained.
“ shào yé 。 nǐ wèi hé gěi nǚ zhòng duō hǎo chù 。 gāi huì kàn shàng tā ？”
“少爷。你为何给女众多好处。该会看上她？”
"Mo'er saw this too. She's a grateful person. After saving her family and now giving her more benefits, she'll refuse any unreasonable requests in the future."
“ hú shuō bā dào shén me ？” lín xuān zhòu le zhòu méi 。 yā tou hái zhēn huì yì xiǎng tiān kāi 。
“胡说八道什么？”林轩皱了皱眉。丫头还真会异想天开。
"Moreover, an exquisite spirit treasure and three middle-grade Foundation Establishment pills are nothing to low-ranking cultivators but mere raindrops to me," Lin Xuan said with a proud smile.
“ wǒ yě jué de shào yé shì rú cǐ qīng fú zhī 。 zhǐ shì nǐ zhè yàng zuò 。 ràng rén yǒu xiē fèi jiě 。”
“我也觉的少爷是如此轻浮之。只是你这样做。让人有些费解。”
"That makes sense. But Young Master, you're setting up so many traps within the sect. Are you planning to rebel?" Mo'er suddenly expressed concern.
“ méi shén me 。 wǒ zhǐ shì yǐ hòu mái xià yī xiē fú bǐ bà le 。” lín xuān biǎo qíng dàn rán de kāi kǒu 。
“没什么。我只是以后埋下一些伏笔罢了。”林轩表情淡然的开口。
"Ridiculous." Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh at her imagination: "I'm a hardworking cultivator; I wouldn't be interested in such power. My goal is merely to lay the groundwork for stealing the recipe of Dusty Cloud Pill."
“ wèi yǐ hòu mái xià fú bǐ 。 nán dào shào yé yě jiāng tā shōu zuò nú bì ？”
“为以后埋下伏笔。难道少爷也将她收做奴婢？”
"I understand. This minor sect leader position is meaningless, and Dusty Cloud Pills are our sect's greatest secret. Old Fox Truefeather won't give them to me."
“ bù 。” lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ：“ dāng zhǔ pú xuè qì shì shén me 。 bì xū shuāng fāng nǐ qíng wǒ yuàn 。 méi yǒu yì diǎn dǐ chù de kuàng xià cái néng wán quán qiān dìng de 。 cǐ nǚ de qíng kuàng yǔ yíng ér xīn ér kě shì wán quán bù tóng 。”
“不。”林轩摇了摇头：“当主仆血契是什么。必须双方你情我愿。没有一点抵触的况下才能完全签订的。此女的情况与盈儿芯儿可是完全不同。”
"So what do you plan?"
“ bù tóng ？”
“不同？”
"Of course, I can only steal secretly. Regardless, in one sentence, this crucial medicinal pill must be obtained," Lin Xuan said with a determined look.
“ dāng rán 。 lù yíng ér yǔ liú xīn dōu zhǐ shì běn mén zuì dī jiē de dì zǐ 。 ér qiě zī zhì pǔ tōng 。 ruò méi yǒu wǒ bāng máng 。 liǎng nǚ kǔ xiū gè qī bā shí nián , néng fǒu zhù jī chéng gōng hái shì liǎng shuō 。 zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià 。 wǒ xiān shī ēn yú qián 。 jiē xià xǔ yǐ zhū duō hǎo chù 。 liǎng nǚ dōu bú shì chǔn rén 。 zì rán huì gǎn ēn dài dé 。 sǐ xīn tā de de yī fù yú 。”
“当然。陆盈儿与刘芯都只是本门最低阶的弟子。而且资质普通。若没有我帮忙。两女苦修个七八十年,能否筑基成功还是两说。这种情况下。我先施恩于前。接下许以诸多好处。两女都不是蠢人。自然会感恩戴德。死心塌的的依附于。”
"At that time, we'll definitely conflict with the sect. The hidden agents I've set up might come into play at any moment." Lin Xuan's eyes sparkled with wisdom as he spoke.
Lin Xuan nodded. The young master indeed did a thorough job.
As for Lin Xuan, he was conversing with the little girl in his mind while walking briskly forward. Suddenly, a somewhat familiar figure caught his eye.
Lin Xuan paused, surprised to see this woman here. She was a middle-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator, around seventeen or eighteen years old, and her beauty was breathtaking.
"Young Master."
Seeing Lin Xuan, she showed surprise on her face but quickly replaced it with joy as she flashed past him, the fragrance wafting behind her.
Her eyes blinked, and she bowed respectfully, like she was bowing to Lin Xuan. Her eyes were filled with joy and gratitude.
"Why are you here?"
"I shouldn't be called that way. Just call me by my nickname," she said with an extremely respectful expression.
"Alright."
Lin Xuan did not fuss over it. She was named Ye Ru, the former Miss Ye of the family. The Ye family had been a branch of Spirit Medicine Mountain, and Lin Xuan owed them great favors, so there was no need for excessive politeness.
"I'll take a walk with you, Ru. I have some things to teach."
"Of course, Young Master."
She nodded and led the way. Soon they arrived at a secluded area.
This was a delicate pavilion, and Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction. Even Spirit Medicine Mountain's main peak had been rebuilt recently, appearing much wider and more magnificent than before.
Although the pavilion itself carried some restrictions, Lin Xuan waved his hand and set up an outer soundproof barrier around them.
Ye Ru was taken aback but said nothing, her mind filled with curiosity. The young master seemed so careful—was he about to discuss something confidential?
"Young Master, are you worried about something?" she asked after a moment of silence. "Do you think there's been a rebellion in the sect?"
"Not exactly," she replied. "I just feel that the atmosphere is somewhat eerie."
"Do not worry, Young Master. That was only smoke and mirrors we deliberately released to confuse outsiders. The Sect Leader has already closed himself off for cultivation and is now trying to form an婴."
"What? Is our master preparing to form an婴?"
Lin Xuan's eyes widened in surprise. He had heard rumors of this before, but they turned out to be false. Could it be that Truefeather Master was indeed about to enter the realm of an婴?
"How so? Young Master," she asked.
"Six Disciplinary Elders are back. The sect has gathered over a hundred Condensation Core Elders."
"Hundred?" Lin Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, knowing there were many hidden experts within the sect but not expecting such a large number.
"These hundred senior brothers and sisters include six who hold high positions among ordinary elders. They have all reached the peak of Condensation Core cultivation and are practicing top-tier divine techniques," Ye Ru said, organizing her thoughts before continuing: "The Six Disciplinary Elders usually assist the Sect Leader in managing various affairs at Spirit Medicine Mountain. Now that he has closed himself off for cultivation, and you're away, they naturally take over."
"Hmm, I understand. No need to explain further; I know what's going on, and there are no grudges," Lin Xuan said with a smile as he waved his hand.
"What about the other six Disciplinary Elders?"
"I'm not sure about that either. But after all the cultivators returned from their various regions, over one hundred Condensation Core Elders were present."
"Really?" Lin Xuan's expression changed, surprised by the number of hidden experts within the sect.
"These six senior brothers and sisters are at the forefront, with positions higher than ordinary elders. They have all reached the peak of Condensation Core cultivation," Ye Ru explained: "They not only possess top-tier divine techniques but also practice them."
Lin Xuan took out two items from his storage space: a jade bracelet he had obtained recently, which had countless uses and could be refined to unleash powerful abilities, and three middle-grade Foundation Establishment pills.
"This jade bracelet is a treasure I obtained. It has countless uses once refined. These three middle-grade Foundation Establishment pills will help you when your cultivation hits a bottleneck," Lin Xuan said as he handed the items to her.
"Thank you, Young Master," Ye Ru was stunned. She looked at the bracelet, its rare and exquisite appearance shining with divine light, and she knew the value of the middle-grade Foundation Establishment pills.
"You did not have to give me these gifts for just answering a few simple questions. Other elders could easily find out from you."
"Why would I not want them?"
"Of course, thank Young Master," Ye Ru bowed deeply, her face flushing with gratitude.
Lin Xuan waved his hand to remove the soundproof barrier and appeared several dozen feet away as he turned another corner. Soon after, Mo'er's voice echoed in his mind.
"You gave so many benefits to that female cultivator. Why would she like you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Xuan frowned. The young master was indeed a frivolous person, but he had his reasons.
"I thought the young master was such a frivolous person, but your actions make me confused."
"Nothing much. I'm just laying some groundwork for the future," Lin Xuan said calmly.
"Laying groundwork for the future... does that mean you're going to enslave her?"
"No." Lin Xuan shook his head. "What is a master-servant blood pact? It requires mutual consent and no resistance from either party. This woman's situation is different from Ying'er and Xin."
"Different?"
"Of course. Both Ying'er and Xin are low-ranking disciples with ordinary talents. Without my help, they might not even be able to form the Foundation after a hundred years of cultivation. In such cases, I first show them favors and promise many benefits. They're not fools; they'll naturally be grateful and loyal."
"However, Ye Ru is different. Although I saved her family, it was just following orders. Moreover, as the Miss of the Ye Family with Elder Wanyao as a teacher, she has extraordinary talents. Even if I didn't investigate thoroughly, she's undoubtedly an Ice-type spirit root. As long as nothing goes wrong, forming a Golden Core in the future shouldn't be too difficult."
"Why would you have any right to enslave such a promising woman?" Mo'er was speechless.
"Indeed," Mo'er said hesitantly: "But if you don't like her and can't buy her, why go through so much trouble to give her many benefits?"
"Haha. Mo'er is mistaken. This woman cannot sign a blood pact with me, but who says I can't buy her? Didn't I just do that?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Ah," Mo'er's face turned red in embarrassment. She felt depressed: "Young Master, you're not giving away secrets. Just tell Mo'er."
"A master-servant blood pact is one thing; buying someone else is another. A promising female cultivator like Ye Ru cannot be made to obey me blindly, but under certain circumstances, I can make her listen or follow my wishes," Lin Xuan explained.
"Mo'er saw this too. She's a grateful person. After saving her family and now giving her more benefits, she'll refuse any unreasonable requests in the future."
"Moreover, an exquisite spirit treasure and three middle-grade Foundation Establishment pills are nothing to low-ranking cultivators but mere raindrops to me," Lin Xuan said with a proud smile.
"That makes sense. But Young Master, you're setting up so many traps within the sect. Are you planning to rebel?" Mo'er suddenly expressed concern.
"Ridiculous." Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh at her imagination: "I'm a hardworking cultivator; I wouldn't be interested in such power. My goal is merely to lay the groundwork for stealing the recipe of Dusty Cloud Pill."
"I understand. This minor sect leader position is meaningless, and Dusty Cloud Pills are our sect's greatest secret. Old Fox Truefeather won't give them to me."
"So what do you plan?"
"Of course, I can only steal secretly. Regardless, in one sentence, this crucial medicinal pill must be obtained," Lin Xuan said with a determined look.
"At that time, we'll definitely conflict with the sect. The hidden agents I've set up might come into play at any moment." Lin Xuan's eyes sparkled with wisdom as he spoke.
