百炼成仙第三卷幽州乱第五百二十四章雪参丸
### Incubator
yīng xiū shì 。
婴修士。
Tian Xiaojian's cold sweat poured down his face.
tián xiǎo jiàn lěng hàn shuā de liú le xià lái 。
田小剑冷汗刷的流了下来。
What chilled him even more was that the other two cultivators, besides the one in silver robes, exuded a chilling aura of ghostly energy. They clearly weren't human.
ér gèng lìng tā xīn hán de shì 。 chú le nà shēn chuān yín sè jǐn páo de xiū shì 。 lìng wài liǎng rén 。 shēn shàng dài zhe sēn hán guǐ qì 。 xiǎn rán bìng fēi rén lèi de yàng zi
而更令他心寒的是。除了那身穿银色锦袍的修士。另外两人。身上带着森寒鬼气。显然并非人类的样子
Ghost Emperor.
guǐ dì 。
鬼帝。
"Is this the boy?"
“ jiù shì zhè xiǎo zi ma ？”
“就是这小子吗？”
"Yes, His Majesty Heavenly Heaven. Xiao Jian is the sole beloved disciple of the Extreme Demon Sovereign. It's said they share blood ties," the robed cultivator smiled as he spoke.
“ shì de 。 hào tiān bì xià 。 xiǎo jiàn nǎi shì jí è mó zūn wéi yī de ài tú 。 jù shuō hái yǔ tā yǒu zhe xuè yuán guān xì 。” yín páo xiū shì wēi xiào zhe kāi kǒu 。
“是的。昊天陛下。小剑乃是极恶魔尊唯一的爱徒。据说还与他有着血缘关系。”银袍修士微笑着开口。
"Friend Qingxiang says so. I'm sure it's true. Even if the Demon Sovereign is ruthless and indifferent to his disciples, capturing him would be beneficial for our plan."
“ qīng xiáng dào yǒu me shuō 。| yí dìng méi cuò 。 jiù suàn mó zūn jué qíng jué yù 。 bù zài hū tā zhè wèi ài tú 。 zhuā zhù tā 。 duì wǒ men de jì huà yě yǒu bāng zhù 。”
“青翔道友么说。|一定没错。就算魔尊绝情绝欲。不在乎他这位爱徒。抓住他。对我们的计划也有帮助。”
The Ghost Emperor waved his robe, and a cloud of mist swarmed out, transforming into a massive skeleton that lunged at Tian Xiaojian...
hào tiān guǐ dì shuō dào zhè lǐ 。 páo yī fú 。 piàn wù fēng yōng ér chū 。 hū xiào zhe huà wèi yī jù dà de kū lóu 。 xiàng zhe tián xiǎo jiàn pū guò qù le ……
昊天鬼帝说到这里。袍一拂。片雾蜂拥而出。呼啸着化为一巨大的骷髅。向着田小剑扑过去了……
About half an hour later, a streak of green light appeared near the outskirts of Spirit Medicine Mountain. After circling around, it descended.
yuē bàn tiān yǐ hòu 。 yī dào qīng sè de jīng hóng chū zài le líng yào shān jìn jiāo 。 yī zhèn pán hòu 。 dùn guāng là le xià lái 。
约半天以后。一道青色的惊虹出在了灵药山近郊。一阵盘后。遁光落了下来。
Surveying the towering mountain before her, Phoenix Feather's beautiful face was shrouded in a layer of gloom.
dǎ liàng zhuó yǎn qián wēi é de dà shān 。 kǒng què zi jiāo měi de miàn róng shàng lǒng zhào shàng yī céng yīn mái 。
打量着眼前巍峨的大山。孔雀子娇美的面容上笼罩上一层阴霾。
The barriers were numerous and strict here, with many cultivators patrolling. She even sensed an old monster at the late-stage Incarnation Realm.
zhè ér jìn zhì chóng chóng 。 luó de xiū shì jí duō 。 shèn zhì tā hái gǎn jué dào le yī wèi yuán yīng zhōng qī de lǎo guài wù 。
这儿禁制重重。逻的修士极多。甚至她还感觉到了一位元婴中期的老怪物。
Lin Xuan had already said that his identity shouldn't be revealed. In other words, he could only sneak in quietly. How to do it? He was currently no more than a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, while the Treasure Pavilion was one of the most tightly guarded areas within the sect.
lín xuān yǐ jīng shuō guò 。 de shēn fèn bù kě yǐ lù 。 huàn jù huà shuō 。 zhǐ yǒu qiǎo rán qián rù 。 kě zěn me qián 。 zì jǐ xiàn zài de wèi 。 zuì duō xiāng dāng yú zhù jī qī 。 ér cáng bǎo gé 。 nǎi shì mén pài fáng shǒu zuì yán mì zhī de 。
林轩已经说过。的身份不可以露。换句话说。只有悄然潜入。可怎么潜。自己现在的为。最多相当于筑基期。而藏宝阁。乃是门派防守最严密之的。
"Princess, you needn't worry. I've brought you here for a perfect plan."
“ xiān zi bù yòng zháo jí 。 zài xià jì rán dài lái zhè lǐ 。 dāng rán yǒu wán měi de zhǔ yì 。
“仙子不用着急。在下既然带来这里。当然有完美的主意。
"Plan?" Phoenix Feather's expression changed as she smiled: "If that's so, why don't you get to the point? What do you need me to do?"
“ zhǔ yì ？” kǒng què xiān zi yī lèng 。 suí jí wēi xiào le qǐ lái ：“ jì rán rú cǐ 。 dào yǒu yòu hé bì mài guān zi 。 xū yào wǒ zuò shén me 。 jǐn guǎn shuō 。”
“主意？”孔雀仙子一愣。随即微笑了起来：“既然如此。道友又何必卖关子。需要我做什么。尽管说。”
Lin Xuan extended his hand and tapped his storage pouch. A flash of light appeared in his palm, revealing an jade bottle. He unscrewed it and took out a red pill about the size of a dragon eye.
lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái 。 zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi 。 guāng yī shǎn 。 yí gè yù píng zài zhǎng xīn zhōng fú xiàn 。 bá kāi píng sāi lín xuān cóng miàn dào chū yī kē lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de hóng sè yào wán 。 yī gǔ qīng xiāng suí fēng piāo rù bí duān 。
林轩伸出手来。在储物袋上一拍。光一闪。一个玉瓶在掌心中浮现。拔开瓶塞林轩从面倒出一颗龙眼大小的红色药丸。一股清香随风飘入鼻端。
"What is this?"
“ zhè shì shén me ？”
“这是什么？”
"It's Snow Ginseng Pill," Lin Xuan stared at the spirit pill in his palm with a hint of reluctance: "Have you heard of it before?"
“ xuě cān wán 。” lín xuān dīng zhe zhǎng xīn zhōng de líng dān 。 yǎn zhōng lüè shǎn yī sī bù shě ：“ xiān zi kě tīng shuō guò ？”
“雪参丸。”林轩盯着掌心中的灵丹。眼中略闪一丝不舍：“仙子可听说过？”
"No," Phoenix Feather shook her head, but she knew how precious this item was. Just its scent made one feel refreshed and invigorated.
“ méi yǒu 。” kǒng què xiān zi yáo le yáo tóu dàn yě zhī dào cǐ wù fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 guāng shì wèi dào jiù lìng rén shén qīng qì shuǎng le 。
“没有。”孔雀仙子摇了摇头但也知道此物非同小可。光是味道就令人神清气爽了。
"This is refined from dozens of ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs. It's incredibly valuable. Although it can't heal your injuries, it will restore your mana within an hour."
“ zhè shì yóu shù shí zhǒng wàn nián líng cǎo jīng liàn ér chéng de 。 zhēn guì wú bǐ 。 suī rán bù néng zhì yù xiān zi de shāng shì 。 dàn yí gè shí chén zhī nèi 。 què kě yǐ ràng huī fù fǎ lì 。”
“这是由数十种万年灵草精炼而成的。珍贵无比。虽然不能治愈仙子的伤势。但一个时辰之内。却可以让恢复法力。”
"Really?" Phoenix Feather was delighted, but a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
“ zhēn de ？” kǒng què xiān dà xǐ bù guò suí jí 。 yǎn zhōng què yòu chū yī sī huái yí 。
“真的？”孔雀仙大喜不过随即。眼中却又出一丝怀疑。
"Why would I lie? We're all in the same boat now," Lin Xuan sighed.
“ zài xià zěn huì piàn xiàn zài bù zhèng xū yào wǒ men tóng zhōu gòng jì ？”
“在下怎会骗现在不正需要我们同舟共济？”
"That makes sense." Phoenix Feather hesitated before swallowing the Snow Ginseng Pill. They were on the same side; she no longer feared Lin Xuan's tricks.
“ zhè dào yě shì 。” kǒng què xiān zi lüè yī chí yí 。 jiù jiāng xuě cān wán guò 。 tūn rù fù zhōng 。 liǎng rén xiàn zài shì yī gēn shéng shàng de mà zhà tā dào yě bù hài pà lín xuān zuò bié de shǒu jiǎo le 。
“这倒也是。”孔雀仙子略一迟疑。就将雪参丸过。吞入腹中。两人现在是一根绳上的蚂蚱她倒也不害怕林轩做别的手脚了。
Soon after, the medicinal power spread through his dantian, and a warm aura appeared. Phoenix Feather quickly sat cross-legged, her hands forming unique hand seals to start cultivating and digesting it.
bù xiāo piàn kè 。 yào lì huà kāi 。 yī gǔ nuǎn yáng yáng de rè qì chū xiàn zài dān tián 。 kǒng què xiān zi máng pán xī zuò xià 。 shuāng shǒu gè niē le yī dào qí tè de fǎ jué 。 kāi shǐ yùn gōng liàn huà 。
不消片刻。药力化开。一股暖洋洋的热气出现在丹田。孔雀仙子忙盘膝坐下。双手各捏了一道奇特的法诀。开始运功炼化。
Lin Xuan remained calm, showing no signs of emotion as he took out a Concealment Pill and used Heavenly Demon Mimicry Technique to transform into a middle-aged man with slightly tanned skin, around thirty years old.
lín xuān jiàn le 。 liǎn sè píng jìng 。 kàn bù chū xǐ nù de biǎo qíng 。 qǔ chū yǐn líng dān shī zhǎn tiān mó nǐ róng **。 biàn chéng le yī sān shí yú suì 。 liǎn sè wēi hēi de zhōng nián xiū shì 。
林轩见了。脸色平静。看不出喜怒的表情。取出隐灵丹施展天魔拟容**。变成了一三十余岁。脸色微黑的中年修士。
About an hour later, Phoenix Feather opened her eyes. A hint of joy flashed in them, though she didn't believe Lin Xuan would deceive her but was surprised by how much better the effect was than expected.
dà yuē yī zhù xiāng yǐ hòu 。 què xiān zi zhēng kāi shuāng móu 。 yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu xǐ yuè de guāng máng shǎn guò 。 suī rán tā bù rèn wéi lín xuān huì qī piàn dàn yě méi xiǎng dào xiào guǒ huì bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào hǎo de duō 。
大约一炷香以后。雀仙子睁开双眸。眼中隐隐有喜悦的光芒闪过。虽然她不认为林轩会欺骗但也没想到效果会比想象的要好的多。
Her injuries hadn't improved, but the medicinal power had suppressed them. She could now exert about 90% of her full strength with a gentle fist.
shāng shì què shí méi yǒu hǎo zhuǎn dàn què yìng shēng shēng bèi yào lì gěi yā le xià lái 。 qīng qīng wò le wò fěn quán néng gòu fā huī chū quán shèng qī yuē jiǔ chéng zuǒ yòu de shí lì 。
伤势确实没有好转但却硬生生被药力给压了下来。轻轻握了握粉拳能够发挥出全盛期约九成左右的实力。
Turning around to see Lin Xuan's new face, she froze for a moment before smiling: "I never thought you were so versatile. Not only do you have such precious Snow Ginseng Pill, but you also know this secret technique. This Shape Transformation Technique is beyond me."
huí guò tóu 。 kàn jiàn lín xuān de xīn miàn róng 。 biǎo qíng bù yóu yí zhèng 。 suí jí wēi xiào le qǐ lái ：“ xiǎng bú dào dào yǒu hái zhēn shì shén guǎng dà 。 bù jǐn shēn huái xuě cān wán zhè zhǒng zhēn guì de dōng xī 。 ér qiě hái huì rú cǐ zhǒng mì shù 。 zhè huàn xíng **。 lián wǒ dōu wú fǎ kàn pò a 。”
回过头。看见林轩的新面容。表情不由一怔。随即微笑了起来：“想不到道友还真是神广大。不仅身怀雪参丸这种珍贵的东西。而且还会如此种秘术。这换形**。连我都无法看破啊。”
"Princess flatters me. I have one more request," Lin Xuan scratched his nose and spoke sincerely.
“ xiān zi miù zàn le 。 zài xià hái yǒu yī shì xiāng qiú 。” lín xuān mō le mō bí zi 。 chéng kěn de kāi kǒu 。
“仙子谬赞了。在下还有一事相求。”林轩摸了摸鼻子。诚恳的开口。
"Please speak," Phoenix Feather was much more polite now. Perhaps because he had restored her mana temporarily.
“ dào yǒu qǐng shuō 。” kǒng què xiān zi kè qì le xǔ duō 。 huò xǔ shì yīn wèi lín xuān ràng tā zàn shí huī fù le fǎ lì de yuán gù 。
“道友请说。”孔雀仙子客气了许多。或许是因为林轩让她暂时恢复了法力的缘故。
"In a moment, we'll sneak in. If discovered, please try to be lenient when you act. Don't kill innocents recklessly." Lin Xuan sighed, saying softly: Regardless of the situation, he was still the young master of Spirit Medicine Mountain, and his sect hadn't treated him badly. He needed the Heavenly Dust Pill formula but didn't want bloodshed within the sect. Phoenix Feather was known for her ruthless nature, so Lin Xuan had to warn her.
“ yī huì er wǒ liǎ tōu tōu qián rù 。 rú guǒ bèi fā xiàn le 。 bú dào wàn bù yǐ 。 hái qǐng xiān zi dòng shǒu de shí hòu jǐn liàng shǒu xià qíng 。 bú yào suí yì làn shā wú gū 。” xuān tàn le yì kǒu qì 。 yōu yōu de shuō 。 bù guǎn rú hé 。 zì jǐ zǒng shì líng yào shān shǎo zhǔ 。 gāi mén yě suàn dài zì jǐ bù báo 。 tiān chén dān pèi fāng shì yí dìng yào dào shǒu de 。 dàn lín xuān yě bù xī wàng běn mén xuè liú chéng hé 。 ér kǒng què xiān zi kě shì xīn hěn shǒu là de zhǔ ér 。 lín xuān zì rán yào tí xǐng zhè me yī jù le 。
“一会儿我俩偷偷潜入。如果被发现了。不到万不已。还请仙子动手的时候尽量手下情。不要随意滥杀无辜。”轩叹了一口气。幽幽的说。不管如何。自己总是灵药山少主。该门也算待自己不薄。天尘丹配方是一定要到手的。但林轩也不希望本门血流成河。而孔雀仙子可是心狠手辣的主儿。林轩自然要提醒这么一句了。
"Agreed."
“ hǎo 。 wǒ dā yìng le 。”
“好。我答应了。”
"Then let's go."
“ jì rán rú cǐ 。 nà wǒ men zǒu 。”
“既然如此。那我们走。”
This place wasn't far from Spirit Medicine Mountain. Using遁光 would be too conspicuous. They concealed their cultivation and used various techniques to glide ten or more feet away.
zhè lǐ jù lí líng yào shān bù 。 yòng dùn guāng de huà tài xiǎn yǎn 。 liǎng rén jiāng xiū wèi shōu liǎn 。 gè zì shī zhǎn le yī shēn zhī fǎ 。 qīng qīng yī piāo 。 jiù shì shí yú zhàng yuǎn 。
这里距离灵药山不。用遁光的话太显眼。两人将修为收敛。各自施展了一身之法。轻轻一飘。就是十余丈远。
As the saying goes, an old horse knows the way. With Lin Xuan leading the way, they moved smoothly, carefully releasing their divine sense. Occasionally encountering patrolling cultivators, they paid attention.
suǒ wèi lǎo mǎ shí tú 。 yóu yú yǒu lín xuān dài lù 。 suǒ yǐ fēi cháng shùn lì 。 liǎng rén xiǎo xīn yì yì de jiāng shén shí fàng chū 。 ǒu ěr yù jiàn xún luó de xiū shì 。 dōu tí guò 。
所谓老马识途。由于有林轩带路。所以非常顺利。两人小心翼翼的将神识放出。偶尔遇见巡逻的修士。都提过。
Phoenix Feather understood that she shouldn't alert anyone. Although her mana had temporarily recovered, it was best not to draw the attention of that Xu surname old monster. An Incarnation Realm cultivator might be unimportant, but many Condensation Core elders could cause trouble. She would have to flee if caught.
kǒng què xiān zi yě míng bái bù néng dǎ cǎo jīng shé 。 zì jǐ xiū wèi suī rán zàn shí huī fù 。 dàn zuì hǎo yě bú yào jīng dòng nà xìng xú de lǎo guài wù 。 yí gè yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū shì zì jǐ huò xǔ bù zài hū 。 dàn yǐ duō yǎo sǐ xiàng 。 zài jiā shàng jìn bǎi míng níng dān qī zhǎng lǎo 。 zì jǐ yě zhǐ yǒu luò huāng ér táo 。
孔雀仙子也明白不能打草惊蛇。自己修为虽然暂时恢复。但最好也不要惊动那姓徐的老怪物。一个元婴中期的修士自己或许不在乎。但蚁多咬死象。再加上近百名凝丹期长老。自己也只有落荒而逃。
If they could steal the medicinal pills silently...
rú guǒ néng bù shēng bù xiǎng de dān yào tōu dào zuì 。
如果能不声不响的丹药偷到最。
One should never overextend oneself when it's better to hold back.
bù gāi chěng qiáng de shí hòu jiù wàn bié chěng qiáng 。
不该逞强的时候就万别逞强。
Lin Xuan felt relieved. Compared to his last visit, Spirit Medicine Mountain's defenses were full of holes. It wasn't due to complacency; rather, the position had changed. The sect now matched both the orthodox and the demon factions, and no one dared provoke the tiger. Wasn't it like an old man hanging himself out of spite?
lín xuān xīn zhōng yě yǒu xiē qìng 。 yǔ shàng cì zì huí lái shí xiāng bǐ 。 líng yào shān de fáng bèi xiǎn de pò zhàn bǎi chū 。 dào bú shì dà jiā sōng xiè de yuán gù 。 ér shì de wèi biàn qiān 。 rú jīn běn mén de shí lì kān bǐ zhèng mó 。 nǎ ge xiāo xiǎo zhī bèi gǎn luō hǔ xū 。 bú shì lǎo shòu xīng shàng diào 。 xián mìng zhǎng me ？
林轩心中也有些庆。与上次自回来时相比。灵药山的防备显的破绽百出。倒不是大家松懈的缘故。而是的位变迁。如今本门的实力堪比正魔。哪个宵小之辈敢捋虎须。不是老寿星上吊。嫌命长么？
The protective array hadn't been activated, which would require too many crystal stones.
hù pài dà zhèn méi yǒu kāi qǐ 。 nà xū yào xiāo hào duō de jīng shí 。
护派大阵没有开启。那需要消耗多的晶石。
Along the way, there were only minor barriers that could barely defend against Condensation Core cultivators but posed a significant challenge to Phoenix Feather...
yán tú zhǐ yǒu yī xiē bù tè bié lì hài de xiǎo jìn zhì 。 fáng yù níng dān qī xiū shì huò xǔ hái miǎn qiǎng kě yǐ 。 dàn duì kǒng què xiān zi …
沿途只有一些不特别厉害的小禁制。防御凝丹期修士或许还勉强可以。但对孔雀仙子…
In any case, with their combined efforts and some luck, they encountered no major troubles as they approached a large mountain.
zǒng ér yán zhī 。 liǎng rén lián shǒu 。 dào què shí kě shuō shì shuāng jiàn hé bì 。 zài jiā shàng yī xiē yùn qì 。 jī hū méi yǒu yù dào tài dà de má fán 。 jiù lái dào le yī zuò dà shān de miàn qián 。
总而言之。两人联手。倒确实可说是双剑合璧。再加上一些运气。几乎没有遇到太大的麻烦。就来到了一座大山的面前。
This mountain wasn't impressive. It was about twenty miles from Spirit Medicine Mountain's main peak, with sparse vegetation due to the thin spirit energy.
cǐ shān bìng bù qǐ yǎn 。 jù lí líng yào shān de zhǔ 。 yuē yǒu èr shí lǐ zuǒ yòu 。 líng qì jiào wéi xī bó 。 shān shàng de zhí wù yě bú shì duō 。
此山并不起眼。距离灵药山的主。约有二十里左右。灵气较为稀薄。山上的植物也不是多。
"Where is the Treasure Pavilion?" Phoenix Feather frowned, asking. She had already released her divine sense and carefully examined it but found nothing.
“ zhè ér nǎ lǐ yǒu cáng bǎo gé ？” kǒng què xiān zi méi tou yí zhòu de wèn dào 。 tā yǐ jīng fàng chū shén shí 。 zǎi zǐ xì xì de dǎ liàng le yī 。 kě què sī háo méi yǒu fā xiàn 。
“这儿哪里有藏宝阁？”孔雀仙子眉头一皱的问道。她已经放出神识。仔仔细细的打量了一。可却丝毫没有发现。
"Do not worry," Lin Xuan said confidently. When it came to the Treasure Pavilion, he had only learned of its location after much effort. Originally, Lin Xuan thought the Heavenly Dust Pill formula should be in a treasure tower. The tower was divided into seven levels; even as the young master, he didn't have permission for the last two. He naturally assumed there were invaluable treasures.
“ xiān zi bù yòng 。 zài xià bú huì wú dì fàng shǐ 。”
“仙子不用。在下不会无的放矢。”
After all, the treasures in the first five levels were indeed extraordinary, with ancient texts and various pill formulas. It was only natural to think so. Little did he know it was actually a trap.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng què chōng mǎn le zì xìn zhī yì 。 shuō qǐ zhè cáng bǎo gé 。 tā yě shì fèi le jiǔ niú èr hǔ zhī lì cái dǎ tàn dào de 。 yuán lín xuān yǐ wéi tiān chén dān de pèi fāng yīng gāi fàng zài cáng shū de bǎo tǎ 。 zhè bǎo tǎ gòng fēn qī céng 。 jí biàn yǐ zì jǐ shǎo mén zhǔ de shēn fèn 。 yě méi yǒu quán xiàn qù zuì hòu liǎng céng 。 lǐ suǒ dāng rán de yǐ wéi nà lǐ yí dìng zhēn cáng zhe bù de le de bǎo wù 。
林轩的脸上却充满了自信之意。说起这藏宝阁。他也是费了九牛二虎之力才打探到的。原林轩以为天尘丹的配方应该放在藏书的宝塔。这宝塔共分七层。即便以自己少门主的身份。也没有权限去最后两层。理所当然的以为那里一定珍藏着不的了的宝物。
If not for good fortune, a powerful wandering cultivator might have stolen something by now. Lin Xuan would still be in the dark if that hadn't happened.
### Incubator
Tian Xiaojian's cold sweat poured down his face.
What chilled him even more was that the other two cultivators, besides the one in silver robes, exuded a chilling aura of ghostly energy. They clearly weren't human.
Ghost Emperor.
"Is this the boy?"
"Yes, His Majesty Heavenly Heaven. Xiao Jian is the sole beloved disciple of the Extreme Demon Sovereign. It's said they share blood ties," the robed cultivator smiled as he spoke.
"Friend Qingxiang says so. I'm sure it's true. Even if the Demon Sovereign is ruthless and indifferent to his disciples, capturing him would be beneficial for our plan."
The Ghost Emperor waved his robe, and a cloud of mist swarmed out, transforming into a massive skeleton that lunged at Tian Xiaojian...

After all, the treasures in the first five levels were indeed extraordinary, with ancient texts and various pill formulas. It was only natural to think so. Little did he know it was actually a trap.
If not for good fortune, a powerful wandering cultivator might have stolen something by now. Lin Xuan would still be in the dark if that hadn't happened.
