林轩来到了稚鹰阁，好久没有听教席传功，虽然自己已经进入灵动后期了，但听筑基期长老传授经验，在修真的过程中，依然可以少走很多弯路。
Lin Xuan arrived at the Eagle Nest Pavilion. It had been a while since he last heard from the lectern teaching techniques, even though he was now in the Flexible Spirit Period. Listening to advice from Foundation Establishment elders could still help him avoid many detours on his cultivation path.
yǔ yǐ qián bù tóng ， lín xuān bù zài xuǎn zé piān pì de jiǎo luò ， ér shì zài qián pái zhàn le yí gè hǎo wèi zhì ， yǒu le hóng líng cǎo lǜ yè ， bù yòng dān xīn xiū wèi bào guāng de wèn tí 。
与以前不同，林轩不再选择偏僻的角落，而是在前排占了一个好位置，有了红绫草绿液，不用担心修为曝光的问题。
Unlike before, Lin Xuan no longer chose secluded corners but instead took a good seat at the front row. With Red Silk Grass Green Liquid, he didn't have to worry about exposing his cultivation level.
“ yí ， zhè bú shì lín shī dì ， hǎo jiǔ bú jiàn ！”
“咦，这不是林师弟，好久不见！”
"Eh? Isn't this Junior Brother Lin? Long time no see!"
yí gè qīng lǎng de shēng yīn huà pò kōng qì ， chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ ， lín xuān zhòu le zhòu méi ， zhè ge shēng yīn de zhǔ rén míng jiào yè tiān ， shì yǔ zì jǐ tóng qī rù gǔ de dì zǐ 。
一个清朗的声音划破空气，传入了耳朵里，林轩皱了皱眉，这个声音的主人名叫叶天，是与自己同期入谷的弟子。
A clear voice broke through the air and entered Lin Xuan's ears. He frowned; the owner of that voice was Ye Tian, a disciple who had entered the valley at the same time as him.
yè tiān zī zhì guò rén ， yōng yǒu fēi fán de líng gēn ， xiū wèi jìn zhǎn jí kuài ， suàn shì běn mén de jīng yīng dì zǐ ， rán ér xìng gé què yǒu xiē jiān suān kè bó ， xǐ huān yǐ qī fù tā rén wéi lè ， zhè jǐ nián lái ， lín xuān méi yǒu shǎo shòu tā de lěng cháo rè fěng 。
叶天资质过人，拥有非凡的灵根，修为进展极快，算是本门的精英弟子，然而性格却有些尖酸刻薄，喜欢以欺负他人为乐，这几年来，林轩没有少受他的冷嘲热讽。
Ye Tian possessed exceptional talent and an extraordinary Spirit Root, making his cultivation progress extremely fast. He was considered one of the elite disciples in their sect. However, he had a sharp and bitter personality, taking pleasure in bullying others. Over these years, Lin Xuan hadn't been spared from Ye Tian's cold remarks and mockery.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī lǚ yīn mái ， bù guò xià yī kè ， jiù huī fù rú cháng le ， xīn zhōng àn àn lěng xiào ， yǐ qián zì jǐ shí lì tài ruò ， bù dé bù rěn shòu bié rén de qī rǔ ， xiàn zài …… hēng ， rú guǒ zhè ge yè tiān zài gǎn chū yán bù xùn ， zì jǐ huì zhǎo jī huì gěi tā kǔ tóu chī de 。
林轩的脸上闪过一缕阴霾，不过下一刻，就恢复如常了，心中暗暗冷笑，以前自己实力太弱，不得不忍受别人的欺辱，现在……哼，如果这个叶天再敢出言不逊，自己会找机会给他苦头吃的。
A gloomy expression flashed across Lin Xuan's face but quickly returned to normal as he silently sneered. Previously, his weak power made him endure others' insults; now... Hmph! If Ye Tian dared to be disrespectful again, Lin Xuan would find a chance to make him regret it.
rén bù fàn wǒ ， wǒ bù fàn rén ， rén ruò fàn wǒ ， bì dìng huì ràng tā hòu huǐ lái dào zhè ge shì shàng 。
人不犯我，我不犯人，人若犯我，必定会让他后悔来到这个世上。
No one provokes me without reason, and if someone does, I will definitely make them regret coming into this world.
lín xuān bú huì zhǔ dòng zhāo rě bié rén ， dàn xiàn zài yǒu le shí lì ， miàn duì bié rén de tiǎo xìn ， yě jué bú huì xiàng yǐ qián yī yàng rěn qì tūn shēng ， gāi chū shǒu shí ， tā bú huì yǒu sī háo yóu yù 。
林轩不会主动招惹别人，但现在有了实力，面对别人的挑衅，也绝不会像以前一样忍气吞声，该出手时，他不会有丝毫犹豫。
Lin Xuan wouldn't actively provoke anyone. But with his current strength, he wouldn't tolerate others' provocations as he used to. When the time came, he would not hesitate at all.
“ lín shī dì ， hǎo jiǔ bú jiàn ， zhè duàn shí jiān ， nǐ hǎo ma ？” qíng kuàng chū hū yù liào ， yè tiān bù jǐn méi yǒu xiàng yǐ qián yī yàng kāi kǒu cháo fěng ， fǎn ér biǎo xiàn dé shí fēn qīn rè ， yī liǎn xū hán wèn nuǎn de biǎo qíng 。
“林师弟，好久不见，这段时间，你好吗？”情况出乎预料，叶天不仅没有像以前一样开口嘲讽，反而表现得十分亲热，一脸嘘寒问暖的表情。
"Junior Brother Lin, long time no see! How are you?" The situation was unexpected; instead of mocking him like before, Ye Tian now appeared very warm and caring, with a look of concern on his face.
duì fāng tài dù tū rán yī bǎi bā shí dù dà zhuǎn wān ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ( shǒu jī yuè dú yě yǒu xiē è rán ， dàn nà shì zài xīn lǐ ， biǎo miàn shàng ， lín xuān yī rán shì yī fù mò rán de biǎo qíng ， dàn dàn de dào ：“ xiè shī xiōng guān xīn ， xiǎo dì yī qiè dōu hǎo 。”
对方态度突然一百八十度大转弯，即便以林轩的城府(手机阅读也有些愕然，但那是在心里，表面上，林轩依然是一副漠然的表情，淡淡的道：“谢师兄关心，小弟一切都好。”
Ye Tian's sudden change in attitude left Lin Xuan somewhat taken aback. However, he maintained an indifferent expression as he replied, "Thank Senior Brother for your concern. I'm well."
shuō wán biàn zhuǎn shēn lí kāi ， duì fāng jì rán méi yǒu zhǎo chá ， nà yě jiù bù yòng jiào xùn tā ， dàn lín xuān yě bù xiǎng hé duì fāng yǒu tài duō de qiān chě 。
说完便转身离开，对方既然没有找茬，那也就不用教训他，但林轩也不想和对方有太多的牵扯。
After saying this, he turned to leave. Since Ye Tian hadn't provoked him, there was no need to teach him a lesson. But Lin Xuan didn't want any unnecessary entanglements.
“ shī dì huāng shén me ？” yè tiān què zài yí cì jiāng tā jiào zhù ：“ yú xiōng hái yǒu huà yào shuō ， jīn tiān qiū gāo qì shuǎng ， nǎi nán dé de hǎo tiān qì ， bù zhī dào shī dì yǒu méi yǒu xìng qù yī kuài ér hé wǒ men qù hòu shān shāo kǎo 。”
“师弟慌什么？”叶天却再一次将他叫住：“愚兄还有话要说，今天秋高气爽，乃难得的好天气，不知道师弟有没有兴趣一块儿和我们去后山烧烤。”
"What are you in such a hurry for?" Ye Tian stopped him again: "Brother, I have more to say. Today is a fine autumn day with clear skies and pleasant weather. Do you think you might be interested in going back to the mountain for a barbecue with us?"
“ shāo kǎo ？”
“烧烤？”
"Barbecue?"
lín xuān yí zhèng ， suī rán xiū zhēn zhě zhuī qiú tiān dào ， dàn bì jìng shì rén ， ér rén jiù huì yǒu qī qíng liù yù ， bié shuō tā men zhè xiē dī jiē xiū zhēn zhě ， jiù suàn shì kě yǐ bì gǔ de gāo jiē xiū shì ， yě tóng yàng bú huì bù chī dōng xī ， bù shí huì mǎn zú yī xià zì jǐ de kǒu fù zhī yù 。
林轩一怔，虽然修真者追求天道，但毕竟是人，而人就会有七情六欲，别说他们这些低阶修真者，就算是可以辟谷的高阶修士，也同样不会不吃东西，不时会满足一下自己的口腹之欲。
Lin Xuan was taken aback. Although cultivators pursued the Dao of Heaven, they were still human beings who had emotions and desires. Even high-ranking cultivators who could dispense with food wouldn't abstain from eating; they would occasionally satisfy their taste buds.
guān xì bù cuò de shī xiōng dì hū péng yǐn bàn ， yì qǐ qù dǎ liè yě shòu ， shāo kǎo zhǔ shí ， shì fēi cháng píng cháng de shì 。
关系不错的师兄弟呼朋引伴，一起去打猎野兽，烧烤煮食，是非常平常的事。
It was common for close disciples to gather friends and go hunting together, then have a barbecue over a fire.
dàn xiū zhēn jiè xiàng lái shì lì ， zài zhè xiē shī xiōng dì de yǎn lǐ ， zì jǐ zhǐ shì yí gè méi yǒu líng gēn de píng fán xiǎo zi ， bèi shòu qí shì ， zhè zhǒng jí tǐ huó dòng ， cóng lái méi yǒu jiào guò zì jǐ 。
但修真界向来势力，在这些师兄弟的眼里，自己只是一个没有灵根的平凡小子，倍受歧视，这种集体活动，从来没有叫过自己。
But in the eyes of these fellow disciples, Lin Xuan was just an ordinary boy without a Spirit Root, who had always been discriminated against. Such collective activities had never included him.
suī rán bù míng bái yè tiān jīn tiān wèi hé tū rán tài dù dà biàn ， dàn wú shì xiàn yīn qíng ， fēi jiān jí dào ， lín xuān xiǎng le xiǎng ， yáo tóu wǎn jù ：“ duō xiè shī xiōng de hǎo yì ， dàn xiǎo dì jīn tiān hái yǒu shì ， gǎi rì 。”
虽然不明白叶天今天为何突然态度大变，但无事献殷情，非奸即盗，林轩想了想，摇头婉拒：“多谢师兄的好意，但小弟今天还有事，改日。”
Although he didn't understand why Ye Tian suddenly changed his attitude today, there were no free lunches; either he or someone else would pay for it. Lin Xuan thought about it and politely declined: "Thank you, Senior Brother, but I have something to attend to today. Let's meet another time."
yè tiān de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī shī wàng zhī sè ， bù guò hěn kuài jiù huī fù le hé ǎi de biǎo qíng ：“ hǎo ba ， xià cì jiù xià cì 。”
叶天的眼中闪过一丝失望之色，不过很快就恢复了和蔼的表情：“好吧，下次就下次。”
Disappointment flashed across Ye Tian's eyes, but quickly turned into a kind expression. "Alright, next time then."
shuō wán gào cí ， zài zhuǎn guò shēn yǐ hòu ， yè tiān de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī zhēng níng zhī sè ， méi xiǎng dào zhè xiǎo zi jū rán bù shí tái jǔ ， bà le ， suàn tā hǎo yùn ， yè tiān hěn kuài yòu huī fù le zhèng cháng de biǎo qíng ， xún zhǎo dào mù biāo ， yòu mǎn liǎn xiào róng de xiàng mǒu gè xiū wèi bìng bù gāo de dì zǐ zǒu le chū qù 。
说完告辞，在转过身以后，叶天的脸上露出一丝狰狞之色，没想到这小子居然不识抬举，罢了，算他好运，叶天很快又恢复了正常的表情，寻找到目标，又满脸笑容的像某个修为并不高的弟子走了出去。
After saying his goodbyes, Ye Tian's face revealed a sinister smile as he didn't expect this boy to be so ungrateful. Well, it was just luck for him. Ye Tian soon returned to his normal demeanor and found another target, smiling as he walked towards a disciple with lower cultivation.
lín xuān suī rán yǐ jīng zǒu yuǎn ， dàn suǒ yǒu de zhè yī qiè ， dōu lěng yǎn páng guān ， jǐn （ shǒu jī yuè shōu yǎn dǐ ， biǎo miàn shàng bù dòng shēng sè ， xīn zhōng què kāi shǐ sī suǒ ， zhè yè tiān kè yì jiē jìn xiū wèi bù gāo de dì zǐ xiǎng yào gàn shén me ？
林轩虽然已经走远，但所有的这一切，都冷眼旁观，尽（手机阅收眼底，表面上不动声色，心中却开始思索，这叶天刻意接近修为不高的弟子想要干什么？
Lin Xuan had already walked far away but observed all of this from the sidelines. He remained expressionless on the surface while pondering what Ye Tian's intentions were in deliberately approaching disciples with low cultivation levels.
suī rán bù qīng chǔ tā de mù dì ， dàn kěn dìng bù huái hào yì ， dàn suí jí ， lín xuān jiù bù zài fèi nǎo jīn xiǎng zhè ge wèn tí ， duì fāng yǒu yīn móu yě hǎo ， guǐ jì yě bà ， yǔ zì jǐ dōu méi yǒu guān xì ， yǐ hòu zhǐ yào xiǎo xīn yì diǎn ， lí zhè jiā huo yuǎn xiē jiù xíng le 。
虽然不清楚他的目的，但肯定不怀好意，但随即，林轩就不再费脑筋想这个问题，对方有阴谋也好，诡计也罢，与自己都没有关系，以后只要小心一点，离这家伙远些就行了。
Though he didn't know his exact purpose, it was certainly not benevolent. Lin Xuan decided not to waste his brainpower thinking about it. Whether Ye Tian had a plot or strategy, it wasn't relevant to him. As long as he stayed cautious and kept away from the guy, everything would be fine.
zhì yú qí tā rén huì bú huì dǎo méi ， lín xuān kě méi yǒu nà me gāo de jué wù ， yào qù zuò jiù shì zhǔ ， dāng rán ， yè tiān rú guǒ xiǎng yào suàn jì zì jǐ ， lín xuān yě bù jiè yì gěi tā yì diǎn kǔ tóu chī 。
至于其他人会不会倒霉，林轩可没有那么高的觉悟，要去做救世主，当然，叶天如果想要算计自己，林轩也不介意给他一点苦头吃。
As for whether others would suffer misfortune, Lin Xuan didn't have the ambition to be a savior. Of course, if Ye Tian wanted to scheme against him, Lin Xuan wouldn't mind giving him a taste of his own medicine.
gǔ piáo de zhōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí yì jiāo tán de dì zǐ men lián máng jìn shēng ， liè duì zhàn hǎo ， duì zhe yī wèi shēn chuān huáng yī de jiào xí gōng shēn ：“ shī zūn 。”
古朴的钟声传入耳朵，随意交谈的弟子们连忙噤声，列队站好，对着一位身穿黄衣的教席躬身：“师尊。”
The ancient bell rang in his ears as the disciples stopped their casual conversations and lined up respectfully before a yellow-robed lecturer: "Sage."
“ ń 。” nà zhù jī qī de xiū shì diǎn diǎn tóu ， suí yì sǎo le yī yǎn ， mù guāng lüè guò lín xuān shēn shàng shí yě méi yǒu sī háo yì yàng ， kāi shǐ xiàng zhòng dì zǐ chuán jiào 。
“嗯。”那筑基期的修士点点头，随意扫了一眼，目光掠过林轩身上时也没有丝毫异样，开始像众弟子传教。
"Hmm." The Foundation Establishment cultivator nodded and casually glanced around. His gaze didn't linger on Lin Xuan, then began teaching the disciples.
yí gè shí chén hòu ， lín xuān chū le zhì yīng gé ， jīn tiān jiào xí bìng méi yǒu chuán shòu xīn fǎ shù ， ér shì xiàng tā men jiǎng shù le yī xiē xiū liàn de xīn dé ， lín xuān tīng dé jīn jīn yǒu wèi ， dà yǒu máo sè dùn kāi de gǎn jué ， zhè yī nián lái ， zì jǐ jiè zhù dān yào zhī lì ， zài jiā shàng bǐ páng rén duō fù chū shí bèi de xīn kǔ ， cóng líng dòng qī dì yī céng yì zhí cuān shēng dào le dì liù céng 。
一个时辰后，林轩出了稚鹰阁，今天教席并没有传授新法术，而是像他们讲述了一些修炼的心得，林轩听得津津有味，大有茅塞顿开的感觉，这一年来，自己借助丹药之力，再加上比旁人多付出十倍的辛苦，从灵动期第一层一直蹿升到了第六层。
An hour later, Lin Xuan left the Eagle Nest Pavilion. Today's lecture hadn't introduced any new techniques but rather shared some insights into cultivation. Lin Xuan listened intently, feeling as if a veil had been lifted from his mind. Over the past year, he had ascended from the first to the sixth layer of the Flexible Spirit Period using alchemical aid and ten times the effort compared to others.
kuài shì gòu kuài le ， rán ér duì yú gōng fǎ de yī xiē xì jié ， nòng dé jiù bù zěn me qīng chǔ ， zhè zài dāng qián ， dào kàn bù chū duō shǎo bì duān ， dàn suí zhe rì hòu xiū zhēn zhī lù yuè zǒu yuè yuǎn ， jiù huì mái xià yǐn huàn 。
快是够快了，然而对于功法的一些细节，弄得就不怎么清楚，这在当前，倒看不出多少弊端，但随着日后修真之路越走越远，就会埋下隐患。
While it was fast, he still didn't fully understand some details of the cultivation techniques, but this wouldn't cause immediate harm. However, as his path in cultivation continued, these uncertainties could become a hidden danger.
shuō lái yě qiǎo ， jīn tiān zhè wèi jiào xí jiǎng shù de xīn dé ， zhèng hǎo wèi lín xuān jiě huò ， tā yǐ qián zài gōng fǎ xiū liàn shàng yù dào de nán tí ， yī yī huò dé le dá àn 。
说来也巧，今天这位教席讲述的心得，正好为林轩解惑，他以前在功法修炼上遇到的难题，一一获得了答案。
Coincidentally, today's insights from the lecturer perfectly addressed Lin Xuan's previous doubts and difficulties in cultivation. He would correct any past mistakes based on what he had learned today and take another step forward in strength.
huí qù yǐ hòu ， zhǐ yào àn zhào jīn tiān de tīng wén ， jiāng yǐ qián xiū liàn shí yù dào de miù wù chóng xīn jiū zhèng ， shí lì huì gèng shàng yī céng lóu 。
回去以后，只要按照今天的听闻，将以前修炼时遇到的谬误重新纠正，实力会更上一层楼。
In the future, Lin Xuan planned to frequently visit the Eagle Nest Pavilion for teachings. With the Green Liquid refined from Red Silk Grass, he no longer feared his cultivation level being exposed, thus eliminating all worries.
yǐ hòu lín xuān yě huì cháng lái zhì yīng gé tīng jiào xí chuán dào ， yǒu le hóng líng cǎo tí chún chū lái de lǜ yè ， tā zài yě bù pà xiū wèi bèi rén kàn pò ， cóng cǐ méi yǒu le hòu gù zhī yōu 。
以后林轩也会常来稚鹰阁听教席传道，有了红绫草提纯出来的绿液，他再也不怕修为被人看破，从此没有了后顾之忧。
It was still early, so Lin Xuan didn't plan to return to the Waste Pills Room. After months of seclusion and hard work, he needed some rest.
shí jiān hái zǎo ， lín xuān bìng bù dǎ suàn huí fèi dān fáng ， bì guān kǔ xiū de shù yuè zhī jiǔ ， yīng gāi hǎo hǎo xiū xī yī xià 。
时间还早，林轩并不打算回废丹房，闭关苦修的数月之久，应该好好休息一下。
Exiting Drifting Cloud Valley, Lin Xuan arrived at a nearby mountain peak. The scenery here was beautiful, perfect for relaxation.
chū le piāo yún gǔ ， lín xuān lái dào bù yuǎn chù de yī zuò shān dǐng shàng ， zhè ér fēng jǐng xiù měi ， shì hé shēn xīn fàng sōng 。
出了飘云谷，林轩来到不远处的一座山顶上，这儿风景秀美，适合身心放松。
Lying on the grass, after less than half an hour of rest, Lin Xuan suddenly sensed something and stood up, crawling into the nearby bushes. Someone had come.
tǎng zài cǎo dì shàng ， gāng gāng xiū xī le bú dào bàn gè shí chén ， lín xuān tū rán shén sè yī dòng ， qǐ shēn ， zuān rù le páng biān de guàn mù cóng ， yǒu rén lái le 。
躺在草地上，刚刚休息了不到半个时辰，林轩突然神色一动，起身，钻入了旁边的灌木丛，有人来了。
Now, Lin Xuan was far from his former self. With his powerful divine sense, he could easily observe everything within a hundred meters around him. It was Ye Tian, followed by several young disciples with low cultivation levels.
xiàn zài de lín xuān jīn fēi xī bǐ ， jiè zhù qiáng dà shén shí ， kě yǐ qīng yì de chá kàn fāng yuán shù bǎi mǐ de yī jǔ yī dòng ， shì yè tiān ， shēn hòu hái yǒu jǐ gè nián qīng de dì zǐ ， xiū wèi dōu bù gāo de yàng zi 。
现在的林轩今非昔比，借助强大神识，可以轻易的查看方圆数百米的一举一动，是叶天，身后还有几个年轻的弟子，修为都不高的样子。
He hadn't expected to encounter them here. Lin Xuan didn't believe that they were genuinely coming for a picnic and barbecue; there must be some ulterior motive. He didn't want to get involved but decided to observe their actions from the side.
Lin Xuan arrived at the Eagle Nest Pavilion. It had been a while since he last heard from the lectern teaching techniques, even though he was now in the Flexible Spirit Period. Listening to advice from Foundation Establishment elders could still help him avoid many detours on his cultivation path.
