suí zhe bù jǐn sī liè bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shí mén de yín guāng yī zhèn shǎn shuò ， suí hòu yòu xiāo shī bú jiàn ， lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， zhè jìn zhì hái zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zì jǐ zú zú huā le jìn bàn gè shí chén de shí jiān ， cái zhōng yú jiāng qí pò qù 。！！！ chāo ！ sù ！ shǒu ！ fā
随着布锦撕裂般的声音传入耳朵，石门的银光一阵闪烁，随后又消失不见，林轩松了口气，这禁制还真是非同小可，自己足足花了近半个时辰的时间，才终于将其破去。！！！超！速！首！发
The sound of cloth tearing reached his ears, and the silver light from the stone door flickered before vanishing. Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief; this禁制 was indeed formidable, taking him nearly half an hour to finally break it! Super Speed First Release!
yě zhī nà liǎng gè yuán yīng lǎo guài dào nǎ lǐ le ， lín xuān zì rán bù gǎn dān gē ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， qīng qīng xū àn ， shí mén dùn shí hōng rán dǎ kāi 。
也知那两个元婴老怪到哪里了，林轩自然不敢耽搁，伸出手来，轻轻虚按，石门顿时轰然打开。
He didn't know where those two Core Formation Elders had gone, so Lin Xuan couldn’t afford any delay. He stretched out his hand and lightly pressed it forward, causing the stone door to open with a loud bang.
yī kuān kuò yǐ jí de dòng xué chū xiàn zài le miàn qián ， yuē yǒu shù bǎi zhàng fāng yuán ， lín xuān yòng shén shí yī sǎo ， méi yǒu xiàn shén me yǐn cáng de jìn zhì ， yú shì mài bù zǒu le jìn qù 。
一宽阔以极的洞穴出现在了面前，约有数百丈方圆，林轩用神识一扫，没有现什么隐藏的禁制，于是迈步走了进去。
A vast cavern appeared before him, spanning several hundred feet in diameter. Using his divine sense, he didn't detect any hidden禁制, so he stepped inside.
zhěng gè shí kū kōng kōng rú yě ， zhǐ yǒu zài zhōng jiān wèi zhì yǒu yī xíng zhuàng gǔ guài de gāo tái ， jiù xiàng shì yuǎn gǔ de jì tán yì bān 。
整个石窟空空如也，只有在中间位置有一形状古怪的高台，就像是远古的祭坛一般。
The stone cave was empty except for an odd-shaped platform in the center, resembling an ancient altar.
jì tán yuē yǒu qī bā gāo ， yī tiáo shí jiē wān yán ér 。
祭坛约有七八高，一条石阶蜿蜒而。
About seven or eight feet high, stairs wound up from it. However, Lin Xuan quickly focused on the edge of the stairs where two stone statues stood. They had human bodies and snake tails, seemingly lifeless but emitting faint灵力 from their surfaces.
bù guò hěn kuài ， lín xuān jiù jiāng mù guāng liú zài shí jiē de biān ， nà lǐ yǒu liǎng gè shí xiàng ， rén shé shēn ， kàn shì sǐ wù ， kě biǎo miàn què yǒu dàn dàn de líng lì chū 。
不过很快，林轩就将目光留在石阶的边，那里有两个石象，人蛇身，看似死物，可表面却有淡淡的灵力出。
No doubt, they were puppets crafted by ancient cultivators, specifically those of the Naga kind. He had encountered these before when he entered Spirit Herb Mountain’s treasure hall, so it wasn’t surprising to see them again.
bú yòng shuō ， kěn shì yuǎn gǔ xiū shì zhì zuò de kuǐ lěi le ， ér qiě yòu shì nà jiā zhè zhǒng guài wù 。
不用说，肯是远古修士制作的傀儡了，而且又是那迦这种怪物。
The red glow in the eyes of the stone statues suddenly subsided as if sensing living beings, and they seemed to come alive.
lín xuān chuǎng líng yào shān cáng bǎo gé shí jiù yù jiàn guò ， méi xiǎng dào zhè me kuài jiù yòu jiàn dào xiāng lèi shì de le 。
林轩闯灵药山藏宝阁时就遇见过，没想到这么快就又见到相类似的了。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he felt a hint of trouble. Although these Naga weren't as formidable as the one from Spirit Herb Mountain, their peak Core Formation stage cultivation was no joke.
shì xiù dào le shēng rén de qì xī ， shí xiàng de yǎn jīng lǐ yī xià zi shè chū yāo yì de hóng máng ， huó guò lái le 。
似嗅到了生人的气息，石象的眼睛里一下子射出妖异的红芒，活过来了。
He and Moon didn’t fear them, but with two Core Formation Elders potentially lurking behind, there wasn’t time to dawdle!
lín xuān bù yóu de tóng kǒng wēi suō 。 xīn zhōng àn àn jiào kǔ 。 liǎng gè nà jiā suī rán bǐ bù líng yào shān nà ge 。 dàn yě yǒu níng dān qī dǐng fēng dì xiū wèi 。 bìng bù hǎo rě 。
林轩不由得瞳孔微缩。心中暗暗叫苦。两个那迦虽然比不灵药山那个。但也有凝丹期顶峰地修为。并不好惹。
A fierce expression flashed across his face as he made a swift decision. His right hand flicked out, and the talisman appeared in his palm.
zì jǐ hé yuè ér gù rán bù pà 。 dàn zhī hòu miàn yǒu liǎng gè yuán yīng qī lǎo guài suí shí kě néng dào lái dì qíng kuàng xià 。 kě méi yǒu shí jiān yǔ tā men zài zhè lǐ màn màn xiāo mó a ！
自己和月儿固然不怕。但知后面有两个元婴期老怪随时可能到来地情况下。可没有时间与他们在这里慢慢消磨啊！
He needed to kill these blocking stone statues as quickly as possible.
yǎn zhōng lì sè yī shǎn 。 lín xuān shùn xī zhī jiān jiù yǒu le jué duàn 。 yòu shǒu yī fān 。 nà fú bǎo yǐ zài tā dì zhǎng xīn zhōng chū xiàn 。
眼中厉色一闪。林轩瞬息之间就有了决断。右手一翻。那符宝已在他地掌心中出现。
"Master, wait!"
bì xū yǐ zuì kuài dì sù dù jiāng zhè liǎng gè lán lù dì shí xiàng gěi zǎi le 。
必须以最快地速度将这两个拦路地石像给宰了。
Just as Lin Xuan was about to release the talisman, Moon's voice suddenly entered his ears.
“ shào yé 。 děng děng ！”
“少爷。等等！”
"What is it?" He paused mid-action, turning to see what she wanted to say.
lín xuān zhèng yào jiāng fú bǎo jì chū 。 yuè ér dì shēng yīn tū rán chuán rù le ěr duǒ 。
林轩正要将符宝祭出。月儿地声音突然传入了耳朵。
"These monsters don’t seem hostile towards us."
“ zěn me le ？” lín xuān yí zhèng ， dàn yě tíng xià le shǒu lǐ de dòng zuò ， kàn kàn yuè ér yào shuō shén me 。
“怎么了？”林轩一怔，但也停下了手里的动作，看看月儿要说什么。
"Oh?"
“ zhè liǎng gè guài wù wǒ men sì hū bìng méi yǒu dí yì 。”
“这两个怪物我们似乎并没有敌意。”
Lin Xuan’s heart stirred. He turned and scanned the stone statues with his gaze. Indeed, though their eyes glowed red, there was no trace of hostility.
“ ó ？”
“哦？”
This didn't make sense; ancient cultivators placed these puppets as guards. Why would Naga remain silent when encountering him? Unless...
lín xuān tīng le ， xīn zhōng yī dòng ， máng zhuǎn guò tóu ， mù guāng zài liǎng gè shí xiàng shēn sǎo guò ， guǒ rán men yǎn zhōng suī rán hóng máng shǎn shuò ， què yì diǎn shā qì yě wú 。
林轩听了，心中一动，忙转过头，目光在两个石象身扫过，果然们眼中虽然红芒闪烁，却一点杀气也无。
He took out a jade pendant that resembled an order from the sect leader from his storage bag. The moment he held it in his palm, an unusual灵力波动 emanated naturally.
zhè bú duì a ， gǔ xiū shì zài zhè lǐ bǎi fàng kuǐ lěi míng xiǎn shì yào chōng zuò jǐng wèi ， méi dào lǐ yù jiàn zì jǐ zhè chuǎng rù ， nà jiā hái yǎn qí xī gǔ ， chú fēi ……
这不对啊，古修士在这里摆放傀儡明显是要充作警卫，没道理遇见自己这闯入，那迦还偃旗息鼓，除非……
A miraculous thing happened—the red glow in the Naga’s eyes calmed down, and their actions ceased. Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī dòng cóng chǔ wù dài zhōng qǔ chū le nà shì zhǎng mén rén lìng fú de yù pèi 。
林轩心中一动从储物袋中取出了那似掌门人令符的玉佩。
The situation was even better than expected; not only could this jade pendant protect him from these monsters, but it also allowed him to command them.
yù pèi bèi tā wò zài zhǎng zhōng ， què zì rán ér rán de sàn chū yī zhǒng gǔ guài de líng lì bō dòng 。
玉佩被他握在掌中，却自然而然的散出一种古怪的灵力波动。
Lin Xuan extended his hand and cast a spell into the pendant. The Naga indeed obeyed his commands.
qí miào de shì qíng shēng le ， nà jiā yǎn zhōng de hóng máng biàn dé xùn fú ， dòng zuò yě tíng zhǐ le ， ér lín xuān liǎn zé mǎn shì xǐ sè 。
奇妙的事情生了，那迦眼中的红芒变得驯服，动作也停止了，而林轩脸则满是喜色。
Though he didn’t dwell on other treasures for now: capturing two peak Core Formation puppets was already worth the trip.
shì qíng bǐ tā xiǎng xiàng de hái yào hǎo dé duō ， zhè yù pèi bù jǐn kě yǐ ràng tā bù shòu liǎng gè guài wù de gōng jī ， shèn zhì hái kě yǐ duì qí jìn xíng mìng lìng cāo kòng 。
事情比他想象的还要好得多，这玉佩不仅可以让他不受两个怪物的攻击，甚至还可以对其进行命令操控。
However, Lin Xuan’s expression soon turned grim as he realized these puppets couldn’t be stored in his spirit beast pouch.
lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ rù yù pèi lǐ miàn ， nà jiā guǒ rán zhí xíng le tā suǒ mìng lìng de dòng zuò 。
林轩伸出手来，一道法诀打入玉佩里面，那迦果然执行了他所命令的动作。
Sighing, he continued towards the stairs. They were only about seven or eight feet high, and he quickly reached them.
bié de bǎo wù zàn qiě bù shuō : gòu shōu fú liǎng gè níng dān qī dǐng fēng de kuǐ lěi zì jǐ jiù bù xū cǐ xíng le 。
别的宝物暂且不说:够收服两个凝丹期顶峰的傀儡自己就不虚此行了。
A silver light shield appeared before him. Inside it, three round disks held various treasures: a jade bottle, a talisman, a green belt, and a scroll of pills.
dàn hěn kuài ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng jiù biàn dé nán kàn qǐ lái ， yīn wèi tā xiàn zhè liǎng gè kuǐ lěi jū rán wú fǎ zhuāng rù líng shòu dài 。
但很快，林轩的表情就变得难看起来，因为他现这两个傀儡居然无法装入灵兽袋。
These must be relics left behind by Jade Profound Sect.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， xiàn zài kě bú shì yán jiū de hǎo shí jī ， tā mài bù xiàng shí jiē zǒu qù 。
林轩叹了口气，现在可不是研究的好时机，他迈步向石阶走去。
Lin Xuan’s face showed disappointment; there were far fewer items than he had imagined, but better than nothing. It seemed most of the sect's treasures had been taken by ancient cultivators during their internal strife.
jǐn jǐn qī bā zhàng gāo ér yǐ ， hěn kuài lín xuān jiù lái dào le miàn 。
仅仅七八丈高而已，很快林轩就来到了面。
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan injected his essence into the pendant, and a yellow light shot out, breaking the shield.
yí gè yín sè de guāng zhào chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
一个银色的光罩出现在了面前。
He then summoned the jade bottle to his palm; its cap opened, releasing a sweet fragrance. He poured it out, and three snow-white immortal pills appeared in his hand, their scent growing stronger.
guāng zhào zhōng yǒu sān gè yuán pán ， fēn bié shèng zhāo shù jiàn bǎo wù 。
光罩中有三个圆盘，分别盛着数件宝物。
Though he was once the young master of Spirit Herb Mountain, familiar with various pills, these were unfamiliar, both unrecognizable and difficult to deduce their effects.
yí gè yù píng ， yī zhāng fú ， yī tiáo qīng sè de yāo dài ， hái yǒu yī juàn dān 。
一个玉瓶，一张符，一条青色的腰带，还有一卷丹。
But since Jade Profound Sect had hidden them here, they must be significant. Lin Xuan carefully stored them away.
kàn lái zhè xiē dōng xī shì yù xuán zōng yí liú xià lái de bǎo wù 。
看来这些东西是玉玄宗遗留下来的宝物。
Next, he picked up the talisman; it was a yellowish-brown color, depicting an jade bracelet. The ancient style of the bracelet caught his attention, but what intrigued him most were the灵力波动 emanating from the talisman—likely crafted by a Separation Stage cultivator if his guess was correct.
lín xuān de liǎn bù yóu de lù chū shī wàng zhī sè ， zhè kě bǐ tā xiǎng xiàng de yào shǎo dé duō dāng rán liáo shèng yú wú ， kàn lái dāng nián yù xuán zōng nà chǎng nèi luàn ， dà bù fèn de bǎo wù dōu bèi gǔ xiū men ná zǒu le 。
林轩的脸不由得露出失望之色，这可比他想象的要少得多当然聊胜于无，看来当年玉玄宗那场内乱，大部分的宝物都被古修们拿走了。
He carefully stored this as well and then turned to the belt. Clearly, it was an ancient treasure, but different from any he had seen before. He tried injecting some essence into it but found no effect; he would have to study it later.
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， jiāng fǎ lì zhù rù dào yù pèi lǐ ， yī dào huáng xiá fēi chū de yī shēng ， nà guāng zhào dùn shí pò miè diào 。
林轩吸了口气，将法力注入到玉佩里，一道黄霞飞出的一声，那光罩顿时破灭掉。
Finally, there were the pills on the scroll. Lin Xuan injected his divine sense and lifted his head after half a cup of tea, his expression unreadable as to what was written inside.
suí hòu tā shǒu yī zhāo xiān jiāng nà yù píng xī dào le zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng ， píng sāi dǎ kāi gǔ qīng xiāng dùn shí cóng lǐ miàn piāo sàn chū lái ， lín xuān jiāng qí yī dào zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng dùn shí duō chū le sān lì xuě bái sè de xiān dān ， xiāng wèi yuè de nóng yù qǐ lái 。
随后他手一招先将那玉瓶吸到了掌心之中，瓶塞打开股清香顿时从里面飘散出来，林轩将其一倒掌心之中顿时多出了三粒雪白色的仙丹，香味越的浓郁起来。
Throughout this process, Moon remained silent, understanding that time was pressing and not interrupting her master.
xī rì tā kě shì líng yào shān shǎo zhǔ ， gè zhǒng dān yào nǎi shì shú xī yǐ jí de ， kě yǎn qián de dān yào què shí fēn mò shēng ， bù jǐn rèn bù chū lái ， qí gōng xiào yě nán yǐ tuī duàn 。
昔日他可是灵药山少主，各种丹药乃是熟悉以极的，可眼前的丹药却十分陌生，不仅认不出来，其功效也难以推断。
Regardless, this mission seemed complete. The next step was figuring out how to safely leave. Lin Xuan turned to walk down the altar when suddenly a loud rumble echoed in his ears.
dàn yù xuán zōng huì jiāng qí cáng yú cǐ chù ， kěn dìng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lín xuān zì rán xiǎo xīn yì yì de shōu hǎo le 。
但玉玄宗会将其藏于此处，肯定是非同小可，林轩自然小心翼翼的收好了。
The sound was so powerful it felt like the sky was collapsing, shaking him to his core and darkening his face.
suí jí yòu ná qǐ nà zhāng fú ， shì tǔ huáng sè de ， miàn huì zhe yī zhī yù zhuó ， nà yù zhuó de shì yàng zào xíng gǔ piáo ， dàn zuì ràng lín xuān liú yì de hái shì nà fú de líng lì bō dòng ， ruò méi yǒu liào cuò ， zhè yòu shì lí hé qī xiū shì liàn zhì chū lái de yī zhāng fú bǎo le 。
随即又拿起那张符，是土黄色的，面绘着一只玉镯，那玉镯的式样造型古朴，但最让林轩留意的还是那符的灵力波动，若没有料错，这又是离合期修士炼制出来的一张符宝了。
Without hesitation, he flipped his left hand and several array flags slid out of his sleeves before being flung into the stone door.
tóng yàng shōu hǎo ， suí jí mù guāng yòu luò zài yāo dài 。
同样收好，随即目光又落在腰带。
He didn’t need to see; he knew for sure that those two Core Formation Elders had tracked him outside. But how did they bypass his modified传送阵?
xiǎn rán zhè shì yī jiàn gǔ bǎo ， rán ér yǔ lín xuān yǐ qián jiàn guò de bǎo wù sì hū yòu lüè yǒu bù tóng ， tā shì zhe zhù rù xiē fǎ lì zài lǐ miàn ， jū rán méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， zhǐ néng yǐ hòu zài màn màn yán jiū 。
显然这是一件古宝，然而与林轩以前见过的宝物似乎又略有不同，他试着注入些法力在里面，居然没有效果，只能以后再慢慢研究。
Lin Xuan’s mind raced with this thought, but now knowing was useless in his current situation. The pressing issue was finding another way out.
zuì hòu biàn shì nà juǎn dān ， lín xuān jiāng shén shí zhù rù ， jǐn jǐn bàn zhǎn chá yǐ hòu ， jiù chóng xīn tái qǐ le tóu ， liǎn de biǎo qíng kàn bù chū xǐ nù ， yě bù zhī dào zhè lǐ miàn jiū jìng jì zǎi xiē shén me 。
最后便是那卷丹，林轩将神识注入，仅仅半盏茶以后，就重新抬起了头，脸的表情看不出喜怒，也不知道这里面究竟记载些什么。
His array formation might be powerful, but against the two Core Formation Elders, it couldn’t hold for long.
zhěng gè guò chéng ， yuè ér yī shēng wèi kēng ， zhè yā tou yě dǒng shì dé jǐn ， zhī dào rú jīn shí jiān jǐn pò ， zì rán bú huì dǎ rǎo shào yé shén me 。
整个过程，月儿一声未吭，这丫头也懂事得紧，知道如今时间紧迫，自然不会打扰少爷什么。
Forcing himself to calm down, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and searched for other exits. As expected, a treasure hall wouldn't have just one path; ancient cultivators likely built secret passages.
bù guǎn rú hé ， zhè yī huí yě suàn shì yuán mǎn le ， jiē xià lái yīng gāi kǎo lǜ de ， jiù shì rú hé ān quán de lí kāi ， lín xuān zhuǎn shēn zhèng yù zǒu xià jì tán ， tū rán hōng lōng lóng yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ miàn 。
不管如何，这一回也算是圆满了，接下来应该考虑的，就是如何安全的离开，林轩转身正欲走下祭坛，突然轰隆隆一声巨响传入了耳朵里面。
However, after several scans with his divine sense, he found nothing. Instead, the stone door began to flicker with black light, signaling that the array was about to collapse.
nà shēng yīn zhī dà ， jiù fǎng fú tiān bēng dì liè yì bān ， zhèn dé tā de xīn yī chàn ， liǎn sè gèng shì shùn jiān yīn chén le xià lái 。
那声音之大，就仿佛天崩地裂一般，震得他的心一颤，脸色更是瞬间阴沉了下来。
What now?
lín xuān bù jí duō xiǎng ， zuǒ shǒu yī fān ， jǐ gān zhèn qí cóng yī xiù zhōng huá luò chū lái ， suí hòu yī yáng ， wū wū jǐ dào hēi guāng ， mò rù le shí mén lǐ miàn 。
林轩不及多想，左手一翻，几杆阵旗从衣袖中滑落出来，随后一扬，呜呜几道黑光，没入了石门里面。
Even Lin Xuan’s composure wavered as red light flashed before him, splitting the stone door into pieces. Dust and two figures emerged from the cracks.
...
The sound of cloth tearing reached his ears, and the silver light from the stone door flickered before vanishing. Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief; this禁制 was indeed formidable, taking him nearly half an hour to finally break it! Super Speed First Release!
He didn't know where those two Core Formation Elders had gone, so Lin Xuan couldn’t afford any delay. He stretched out his hand and lightly pressed it forward, causing the stone door to open with a loud bang.

A fierce expression flashed across his face as he made a swift decision. His right hand flicked out, and the talisman appeared in his palm.
He needed to kill these blocking stone statues as quickly as possible.
"Master, wait!"
Just as Lin Xuan was about to release the talisman, Moon's voice suddenly entered his ears.
"What is it?" He paused mid-action, turning to see what she wanted to say.
"These monsters don’t seem hostile towards us."
"Oh?"
