“ xiǎo yā tou ， nà me xīn jí gàn má ， qiě tīng wǒ màn màn jiǎng ！”
“小丫头，那么心急干嘛，且听我慢慢讲！”
"Little girl, why are you so anxious? Let me tell you slowly!"
lín xuān fān le fān bái yǎn ， shuō qǐ lái ， tā yě shì shí fēn de yì wài ， zhè shì qíng de lái lóng qù mài ， yě shì fēi cháng de jiǔ yuǎn 。
林轩翻了翻白眼，说起来，他也是十分的意外，这事情的来龙去脉，也是非常的久远。
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes. It was indeed a surprise to him how long the story had been. In the primeval era a million years ago, the Jade Profound Sect really thrived; there were even Ancestral Masters at the Separation and Union stage within.
zài bǎi wàn nián qián de hóng huāng shí qī ， zhè yù xuán zōng hái zhēn de shì chāng shèng wú bǐ ， mén nèi céng jīng chū xiàn guò lí hé qī de zǔ shī 。
在百万年前的洪荒时期，这玉玄宗还真的是昌盛无比，门内曾经出现过离合期的祖师。
Although this Ancestral Master did not transcend the heavenly tribulation, he coincidentally met Spirit Realm cultivators who broke through the void and exchanged many treasures for an Essence Gathering Pill. He then handed it over to a nephew skilled in alchemy, hoping they could produce some results.
ér zhè wèi zǔ shī suī rán méi yǒu dù guò tiān jié ， dàn jī yuán qiǎo hé zhī xià ， què yù jiàn guò pò suì xū kōng ér lái de líng jiè xiū shì ， bìng yòng dà liàng de bǎo wù ， cóng duì fāng shǒu lǐ huàn qǔ guò yī méi jù yuán líng dān ó 。
而这位祖师虽然没有渡过天劫，但机缘巧合之下，却遇见过破碎虚空而来的灵界修士，并用大量的宝物，从对方手里换取过一枚聚元灵丹哦。
Of course, there were none, and the Ancestral Master at Separation and Union stage was frustrated and angry. However, he wasn't unreasonable; knowing his disciples had tried their best, he couldn't defy heavenly principles but still felt unsatisfied.
bìng jiāng qí jiāo gěi mén nèi jīng shàn dān dào zhī shù de shī zhí ， xī wàng tā men néng gòu yán jiū chū yī xiē chéng guǒ 。
并将其交给门内精擅丹道之术的师侄，希望他们能够研究出一些成果。
This person was quite resourceful and spent many days in seclusion, thinking of a solution. Since alchemy couldn't replicate such divine treasures, could the art of refining artifacts help? Perhaps some magical item could quickly replenish a cultivator's lost mana.
jié guǒ zì rán shì yī wú suǒ huò ， zhè wèi lí hé qī de zǔ shī jǔ sàng fèn nù ， hǎo zài tā yě bú shì bù jiǎng dào lǐ ， zhī dào mén rén men yǐ jìn lì ， yǒu xiē shì qíng shí zài shì bù néng wéi bèi tiān lǐ ， dàn zǒng shì bù gān xīn de 。
结果自然是一无所获，这位离合期的祖师沮丧愤怒，好在他也不是不讲道理，知道门人们已尽力，有些事情实在是不能违背天理，但总是不甘心的。
The idea seemed bold, yet it might be feasible. Lin Xuan acted on his thoughts, spending nearly a century and gathering the wisdom of several master refiners to create an ancient treasure: the Storage Belt.
cǐ rén dào yě cái sī mǐn jié ， bì guān kǔ sī le duō rì ， xiǎng dào le yí gè jiě jué de tú jìng ， jì rán dān dào bù néng fǎng zhì chū zhè zhǒng xiān wù ， nà me néng fǒu qiú jiào yú liàn qì shù ？ tōng guò mǒu zhǒng bǎo bèi ， duì xiū shì xiāo hào de fǎ lì jìn xíng kuài sù bǔ chōng 。
此人倒也才思敏捷，闭关苦思了多日，想到了一个解决的途径，既然丹道不能仿制出这种仙物，那么能否求教于炼器术？通过某种宝贝，对修士消耗的法力进行快速补充。
Moon's expression was still curious as she scanned the artifact repeatedly, trying to discern its secrets.
zhè ge shè xiǎng zhe shí yǒu xiē dà dǎn ， dàn què yě wèi bì bù kě yǐ shí xiàn 。
这个设想着实有些大胆，但却也未必不可以实现。
"Master, this item truly has the same effects as legendary divine pills. What is the principle behind it?"
xiǎng dào jiù zuò ， cǐ rén huā fèi le jìn bǎi nián guāng yīn de shí jiān ， bìng jí hé mén nèi jǐ wèi liàn qì dà shī de zhì huì ， zhēn de zào chū le chǔ líng dài zhè jiàn gǔ bǎo lái 。
想到就做，此人花费了近百年光阴的时间，并集合门内几位炼器大师的智慧，真的造出了储灵带这件古宝来。
"I don't know," Lin Xuan shrugged his shoulders.
tīng lín xuān shuō dào zhè lǐ ， yuè ér de biǎo qíng hái shì yǒu xiē hào qí ， mù guāng zài cǐ bǎo fǎn fù sǎo guò ， xiǎng yào kàn chū yī xiē duān ní 。
听林轩说道这里，月儿的表情还是有些好奇，目光在此宝反复扫过，想要看出一些端倪。
"What? You also have no idea? Then what should we do?"
“ shào yé ， cǐ wù zhēn yǔ chuán shuō zhōng de xiān dān yǒu tóng yàng de xiào guǒ ， tā shì shén me yuán lǐ ne ？”
“少爷，此物真与传说中的仙丹有同样的效果，它是什么原理呢？”
"It doesn't matter; the principles are undoubtedly complex. I only have a superficial understanding of refiner's arts, but as long as I can use it, that's enough." Lin Xuan smiled.
“ nǐ wèn wǒ ， wǒ yòu nǎ lǐ qīng chǔ 。” lín xuān bǎ shǒu yī tān 。
“你问我，我又哪里清楚。”林轩把手一摊。
"That makes sense," Moon nodded, then her eyes flashed with doubt: "But Master, why was your mana drained completely just now?"
“ shén me ， nǐ yě bù qīng chǔ ， nà zěn me bàn ？”
“什么，你也不清楚，那怎么办？”
Lin Xuan explained, "This isn't strange. Since the belt is called a Storage Belt, its purpose is to store spirit energy. When my mana runs out, it triggers the restrictions inside and replenishes my body."
“ zhè yǒu shén me guān xì ， yuán lǐ kěn dìng fù zá yǐ jí ， duì yú liàn qì shù ， shào yé wǒ yě zhǐ shì yī zhī bàn jiě ér yǐ ， bù guò zhǐ yào huì yòng bù jiù xíng le 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“这有什么关系，原理肯定复杂以极，对于炼器术，少爷我也只是一知半解而已，不过只要会用不就行了。”林轩微笑着说。
Moon nodded; Lin Xuan's explanation was straightforward: this artifact functioned like a container for storing mana, which could be refilled when needed.
“ zhè dào yě shì 。” yuè ér diǎn le diǎn tóu ， jiē zhe yǎn móu zhōng yòu shǎn guò yī sī yí huò :“ bù guò shào yé ， gāng cái nín hún shēn de fǎ lì wèi hé huì bèi xī gàn ne ？”
“这倒也是。”月儿点了点头，接着眼眸中又闪过一丝疑惑:“不过少爷，刚才您浑身的法力为何会被吸干呢？”
"Unfortunately, there are limitations."
“ zhè bù xī qí ， cǐ bǎo jì rán míng wèi chǔ líng dài ， dāng rán shì yào jiāng líng lì chǔ cún zài lǐ miàn ， zhè yàng dāng wǒ fǎ lì kū jié zhī shí ， jiù kě yǐ chù fā lǐ miàn de jìn zhì ， ràng yāo dài zhōng de fǎ lì 。 chóng xīn huí liú dào wǒ de shēn tǐ 。”
“这不稀奇，此宝既然名为储灵带，当然是要将灵力储存在里面，这样当我法力枯竭之时，就可以触发里面的禁制，让腰带中的法力。重新回流到我的身体。”
"Limitations?" Moon blinked, waiting for Lin Xuan to continue.
yuè ér diǎn le diǎn tóu ， lín xuān zhè huà yě suàn shì tōng sú yì dǒng ， jiǎn dān de shuō ， cǐ bǎo jiù xiāng dāng yú yí gè kě yǐ chǔ cún fǎ lì de róng qì ， píng rì le zhuāng yī xiē jìn qù ， xū yào shí zài cóng lǐ miàn tí qǔ 。
月儿点了点头，林轩这话也算是通俗易懂，简单的说，此宝就相当于一个可以储存法力的容器，平日了装一些进去，需要时再从里面提取。
"Yes. According to the Ancestral Master, it can only be used several dozen times before the internal array and the item's essence collapse."
“ kě xī cǐ bǎo yě yǒu xiàn zhì 。”
“可惜此宝也有限制。”
"Ah, I see," Moon understood the situation but couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.
“ xiàn zhì ？” yuè ér zhǎ le zhǎ yǎn ， děng zhe shào yé shuō xià qù 。
“限制？”月儿眨了眨眼，等着少爷说下去。
Lin Xuan still wore a smile. As they say, contentment is bliss; this artifact had the same effects as an Essence Gathering Pill. If it could be used repeatedly without limit, it would likely cause a mad rush among cultivators in both the mortal and Spirit Realms... clearly against heavenly principles.
“ shì de ， jǔ dān suǒ shuō ， cǐ bǎo yě jiù néng shǐ yòng jǐ shí cì ér yǐ ， suí hòu lǐ miàn de zhèn fǎ ， yǐ jí bǎo wù de běn tǐ jiù huì bēng kuì diào 。”
“是的，举丹所说，此宝也就能使用几十次而已，随后里面的阵法，以及宝物的本体就会崩溃掉。”
Even with limited uses, it was still extremely valuable. In critical moments, it could save one's life. Lin Xuan carefully stored it in his storage bracelet.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。” yuè ér míng bái liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò ， liǎn bù yóu de lù chū kě xī de biǎo qíng lái le 。
“原来如此。”月儿明白了事情的始末，脸不由得露出可惜的表情来了。
This trip to the Jade Profound Sect had been bumpy; he offended three old monsters at the Core Formation stage. However, the收获 were significant: besides Longevity Pills and the Storage Belt, there were two high-ranking Ancestral Master-made talismans. One was already used several times with diminishing power, while the other from the Treasure Pavilion was still new.
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo què yī jiù guà zhe xiào róng ， sú huà shuō dé hǎo ， rén guì zài zhī zú ， cǐ wù yǔ jù yuán líng dān de gōng xiào xiāng tóng ， rú guǒ néng gòu chóng fù wú xiàn zhì de shǐ yòng ， nà bié shuō rén jiān le ， kǒng pà jiù suàn shì ná dào líng jiè yě huì ràng xiū shì men qiǎng pò tóu …… míng xiǎn shì bù hé tiān lǐ de 。
林轩的嘴角却依旧挂着笑容，俗话说得好，人贵在知足，此物与聚元灵丹的功效相同，如果能够重复无限制的使用，那别说人间了，恐怕就算是拿到灵界也会让修士们抢破头……明显是不合天理的。
With his treasures studied to some extent, it was time for training. However, Lin Xuan had lost a lot of mana today and wasn't in a rush. He simply meditated until sunset when his dantian gradually refilled with spirit energy. After returning to the living room, he slept through the night before starting his training regimen early the next morning.
jí shǐ zhǐ néng shǐ yòng yǒu xiàn de cì shù ， nà yě shì bǎo guì dào le jí chù ， zài guān jiàn shí kè ， shì zú yǐ jiù mìng de dōng dōng ， lín xuān jiāng tā xiǎo xīn de shōu rù le chǔ wù dài zhōng 。
即使只能使用有限的次数，那也是宝贵到了极处，在关键时刻，是足以救命的东东，林轩将它小心的收入了储物袋中。
He sat cross-legged, calm and focused, forming various hand seals. Suddenly, Lin Xuan clapped his hands together, exerting a bit of force, and an egg-sized flame rose up.
zhè cì yù xuán zōng zhī xíng kě suàn shì lì jīng le bō zhé ， guāng shì yuán yīng qī lǎo guài jiù dé zuì le sān gè ， hǎo zài shōu huò yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， chú le cháng shēng dān yǔ chǔ líng dài ， hái yǒu liǎng zhāng lí hé qī gāo rén liàn zhì de fú bǎo ， qí zhōng yī zhāng yǐ jīng shǐ yòng le shù cì ， wēi néng suǒ shèng bù duō ， ér zài cáng bǎo gé dé dào de nà zhāng què hái shì quán xīn de 。
这次玉玄宗之行可算是历经了波折，光是元婴期老怪就得罪了三个，好在收获也是非同小可，除了长生丹与储灵带，还有两张离合期高人炼制的符宝，其中一张已经使用了数次，威能所剩不多，而在藏宝阁得到的那张却还是全新的。
Bizarre Green Illusion Fire!
bǎo wù yǐ jīng yán jiū dé chà bu duō ， shèng xià lái jiù gāi shì liàn gōng le ， bù guò lín xuān jīn tiān fǎ lì dà sǔn ， dào yě bù máng zhe zhè yī shí bàn huì er ， suǒ yǐ zhǐ shì jiǎn dān de dǎ zuò ， zhí dào rì luò ， dān tián zhōng de líng lì cái zǒng suàn jiàn jiàn bǔ mǎn le ， suí hòu yòu huí dào qǐ jū shì ， shuì le yī jiào ， zhí dào dì èr tiān yī zǎo ， cái chóng xīn kāi shǐ xiū liàn jì huà le 。
宝物已经研究得差不多，剩下来就该是练功了，不过林轩今天法力大损，倒也不忙着这一时半会儿，所以只是简单的打坐，直到日落，丹田中的灵力才总算渐渐补满了，随后又回到起居室，睡了一觉，直到第二天一早，才重新开始修炼计划了。
However, it seemed different from usual, with a hint of eerie purple-red amidst the green.
tā pán xī ér zuò ， píng xīn jìng qì ， shuāng shǒu gè niē le yī dào fǎ jué ， biàn huàn bù yǐ ， tū rán lín xuān liǎng zhǎng jiāo dié ， wēi yī yòng lì ， yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn téng shēng ér qǐ 。
他盘膝而坐，平心静气，双手各捏了一道法诀，变换不已，突然林轩两掌交叠，微一用力，一团鸡蛋大小的火焰腾升而起。
This wasn't strange; in the Ice Volcano, Lin Xuan had encountered Fiery Spirits. After a fierce battle, though not as chaotic as imagined, he used various treasures and finally unleashed Bizarre Green Illusion Fire to win. The Fiery Spirit hadn't been completely destroyed but trapped by the Bizarre Green Illusion Fire. Now with free time, Lin Xuan intended to deal with it.
bì huàn yōu huǒ ！
碧幻幽火！
This monster was naturally a fire spirit body; if he could refine it, his demonic flames' power would surely increase.
rán ér yǔ yǐ wǎng sì hū yòu lüè yǒu bù tóng ， zài mǎn mù dì qīng sè zhī zhōng ， dài le yì diǎn guǐ yì de zǐ hóng 。
然而与以往似乎又略有不同，在满目的青色之中，带了一点诡异的紫红。
With this thought, Lin Xuan's eyes became intense. He inhaled deeply and formed a hand seal with his left hand, extending his index finger towards the flame in his right palm.
bù guò zhè dào méi shén me hào qí guài de ， dāng chū zài bīng huǒ shān zhōng ， lín xuān céng yù jiàn le huǒ mèi zhè zhǒng guài wù ， yī fān dà zhàn ， suī bù néng shuō dǎ dé tiān hūn dì àn ， dàn yě jī liè dào le jí diǎn 。
不过这倒没什么好奇怪的，当初在冰火山中，林轩曾遇见了火魅这种怪物，一番大战，虽不能说打得天昏地暗，但也激烈到了极点。
The egg-sized flame leaped up, spinning wildly mid-air while Lin Xuan stared intently. Soon, it grew to the size of a basin, with a faint purple light at its core.
zài dòu fǎ zhī shí ， lín xuān shǐ yòng le duō zhǒng bǎo wù ， zuì hòu jì qǐ le bì huàn yōu huǒ ， cái hǎo bù róng yì shèng lì le 。 bù guò huǒ mèi bìng měi ōu fù miè ， zhǐ shì bèi bì huàn yōu huǒ tūn shì ， zàn shí kùn zhù le ér yǐ ， rú jīn yǒu le xián xiá ， lín xuān zì shì yào zuò yī fān chǔ lǐ 。
在斗法之时，林轩使用了多种宝物，最后祭起了碧幻幽火，才好不容易胜利了。不过火魅并美欧覆灭，只是被碧幻幽火吞噬，暂时困住了而已，如今有了闲暇，林轩自是要做一番处理。
Though both were demonic flames, they were clearly distinct.
zhè zhǒng guài wù kě shì tiān shēng de huǒ líng zhī tǐ ， rú guǒ néng gòu liàn huà ， zì jǐ mó yán de wēi néng ， bì jiāng zài yí gè tái jiē 。
这种怪物可是天生的火灵之体，如果能够炼化，自己魔炎的威能，必将再一个台阶。
This purple light was naturally the Fiery Spirit monster. Though trapped for a long time, it retained its spirit and sensed danger, unwilling to submit; it began a desperate struggle.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān de yǎn shén dùn shí biàn dé zhì rè qǐ lái ， xī le kǒu qì ， zuǒ shǒu qiā jué ， shēn chū shí zhǐ ， xiàng zhe yòu shǒu xīn zhōng de huǒ yàn qīng qīng diǎn qù 。
想到这里，林轩的眼神顿时变得炙热起来，吸了口气，左手掐诀，伸出食指，向着右手心中的火焰轻轻点去。
Lin Xuan watched but remained unmoved, extending his fingers, shooting out sword energy attacks on the purple Fiery Spirit.
nà jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn dùn shí téng shēng ér qǐ ， zài bàn kōng zhōng dī liū liū de xuán zhuǎn gè bù tíng ， lín xuān zé jù jīng huì shén de dèng dà le yǎn jīng 。
那鸡蛋大小的火焰顿时腾升而起，在半空中滴溜溜的旋转个不停，林轩则聚精会神的瞪大了眼睛。
Meanwhile, he silently chanted incantations as Bizarre Green Illusion Fire compressed towards the center.
hěn kuài ， nà huǒ yàn xùn sù de péng zhàng le qǐ lái ， biàn dé yǒu liǎn pén nà me dà ， ér zài bì lǜ sè mó yán de zhōng xīn ， yǐn yǐn chū xiàn le yī tuán zǐ sè de guāng yǐng 。
很快，那火焰迅速的膨胀了起来，变得有脸盆那么大，而在碧绿色魔炎的中心，隐隐出现了一团紫色的光影。
Time passed slowly. Lin Xuan's forehead gradually beaded with sweat; this Fiery Spirit was more difficult to handle than expected. He furrowed his brows and opened his mouth, spewing out a thumb-thick flame. This wasn't demonic flames but his innate Heartfire.
tóng wèi mó huǒ ， kě liǎng zhě zhī jiān ， què jīng wèi fēn míng 。
同为魔火，可两者之间，却泾渭分明。
With this fresh mana, Bizarre Green Illusion Fire grew stronger. Lin Xuan prepared to activate the hand seal when suddenly, a burst of light illuminated the scene, followed by a series of cracking sounds.
zhè zǐ sè de guāng yǐng ， zì rán shì huǒ mèi guài wù ， suī rán bèi kùn liáng jiǔ ， dàn tā líng xìng wèi shī ， cǐ shí yě gǎn jué dào le bù miào ， bù yuàn shù shǒu jiù fù ， yào zuò yī fān chuí sǐ de zhēng zhá le 。
这紫色的光影，自然是火魅怪物，虽然被困良久，但它灵性未失，此时也感觉到了不妙，不愿束手就缚，要做一番垂死的挣扎了。
The purple shadow broke free from the green demonic flames and transformed into a miniature tiger about a foot long. Despite its small size, it was ferocious with a sharp horn on its forehead and smooth purple fur.
lín xuān kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， qù sī háo bù wèi suǒ dòng ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， shí zhǐ bù tíng tán shè ， yī dào yī dào de jiàn qì fēi shè ér chū ， kāi shǐ gōng jī zǐ sè de huǒ mèi guài wù 。
林轩看在眼里，去丝毫不为所动，伸出手来，十指不停弹射，一道一道的剑气飞射而出，开始攻击紫色的火魅怪物。
Lin Xuan's lips curled in mockery as he formed hand seals, merging Bizarre Green Illusion Fire with his Heartfire to create a dragon.
"Little girl, why are you so anxious? Let me tell you slowly!"
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes. It was indeed a surprise to him how long the story had been. In the primeval era a million years ago, the Jade Profound Sect really thrived; there were even Ancestral Masters at the Separation and Union stage within.
