“ zhè ge wèn tí , gé xià dào le yīn cáo dì fǔ , zài màn màn xiǎng ba !”
“这个问题,阁下到了阴曹地府,再慢慢想吧!”
"Let the matter simmer in your mind as you go to the underworld, and figure it out slowly!"
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī lěng xiào , shuāng shǒu jié le yí gè qí tè de fǎ yìn , jiāng líng lì zhù rù dào fēi jiàn zhī zhōng 。
林轩嘴角边流露出一丝冷笑,双手结了一个奇特的法印,将灵力注入到飞剑之中。
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile. He formed an unusual hand seal and infused his essence energy into his flying sword.
rú liú guāng , shì diàn yǐng , nà fēi jiàn xiàng zhe duì shǒu hū xiào ér qù , yè tiān liǎn sè dà biàn , pīn mìng de wǎng mó fān zhōng zhù rù líng lì , dàn méi yòng , guǐ wù xíng chéng de fáng hù zhào suī rán jiān gù , dàn zài shàng pǐn líng qì jīng rén de wēi lì miàn qián , què yǒu rú dòu fǔ , cī lā , cì ěr de shēng xiǎng zhī zhōng , bèi sī chéng le fěn suì , yè tiān de xiōng kǒu chū xiàn le yí gè xuè dòng , mǎn liǎn bù gān de dào le xià qù 。
如流光,似电影,那飞剑向着对手呼啸而去,叶天脸色大变,拼命的往魔幡中注入灵力,但没用,鬼雾形成的防护罩虽然坚固,但在上品灵器惊人的威力面前,却有如豆腐,刺啦,刺耳的声响之中,被撕成了粉碎,叶天的胸口出现了一个血洞,满脸不甘的倒了下去。
Like a flash of light or a movie scene, the flying sword rushed towards its opponent. Ye Tian's face turned pale as he desperately poured more essence energy into the demon banner, but it was useless. The ghostly fog shield, though sturdy, crumbled under the astonishing power of an upper-grade spiritual artifact. With a tearing sound, the shield was shredded to pieces. A bloody hole appeared in Ye Tian's chest, and he fell to his death with不甘.
lín xuān zhāo le zhāo shǒu , líng qì fēi huí dào le tā de shǒu zhōng , biàn chéng le cùn xǔ zhǎng de xiǎo jiàn mú yàng , ér shī qù le yè tiān fǎ lì de zhī chí , yǔ yāo hǔ chán dòu de jù dà kū lóu dùn shí fēn jiě chéng yí gè gè lì guǐ hún pò , huí dào le mó fān zhī zhōng 。
林轩招了招手,灵器飞回到了他的手中,变成了寸许长的小剑模样,而失去了叶天法力的支持,与妖虎缠斗的巨大骷髅顿时分解成一个个厉鬼魂魄,回到了魔幡之中。
Lin Xuan waved his hand, and the spiritual artifact returned to his palm as a tiny sword. Without Ye Tian's support, the giant skeleton fighting the demon tiger disintegrated into ghostly souls that retreated back into the demon banner.
nà xià pǐn líng qì huǒ shé , yě cóng bàn kōng zhōng zhuì luò , lín xuān dǎ chū yī dào fǎ jué , jiāng qí hé hún jīn suǒ yì qǐ shōu rù náng zhōng 。
那下品灵器火蛇,也从半空中坠落,林轩打出一道法诀,将其和浑金索一起收入囊中。
The lower-grade fire snake also plummeted from mid-air. Lin Xuan cast a spell and stored it along with the golden chain in his storage.
shòu fú yě huī fù le yuán yàng , zhǐ bù guò yǔ xiān qián xiāng bǐ , shàng miàn de líng lì jiǎn ruò le xǔ duō , kàn lái cǐ zhàn guò hòu , yāo hǔ hún pò de néng liàng suǒ shèng wú jǐ 。
兽符也恢复了原样,只不过与先前相比,上面的灵力减弱了许多,看来此战过后,妖虎魂魄的能量所剩无几。
The beast talisman returned to its original form, but the essence energy on it had weakened significantly. It seemed the demon tiger's soul power was nearly depleted after this battle.
lín xuān yī zhèn ròu téng , hǎo zài cǐ zhàn de shōu huò yě zhe shí fēng hòu , tā lái dào yè tiān de shī tǐ páng biān , xiān jiǎn qǐ mó fān , rán hòu yòu cóng tā huái zhōng zhǎo dào yí gè chǔ wù dài 。
林轩一阵肉疼,好在此战的收获也着实丰厚,他来到叶天的尸体旁边,先拣起魔幡,然后又从他怀中找到一个储物袋。
Lin Xuan felt a bit of pain, but he was glad for the substantial gains from this fight. He approached Ye Tian's corpse and picked up the demon banner first. Then, he found a storage bag in his chest pocket.
bǎo wù shōu guā yī kōng zhī hòu , cǐ dì bù yí jiǔ liú , lín xuān dǎ chū yī dào dī jiē de liú shā fú , jiāng yè tiān de shī tǐ chén rù dì dǐ , rán hòu xiǎo xīn de jiāng xuè jì mǒ qù zhī hòu , jiù kuài bù fǎn huí piāo yún gǔ 。
宝物收刮一空之后,此地不宜久留,林轩打出一道低阶的流沙符,将叶天的尸体沉入地底,然后小心的将血迹抹去之后,就快步返回飘云谷。
After gathering all the treasures, Lin Xuan cast a low-grade sand flow talisman to bury Ye Tian's body underground. Carefully wiping away the bloodstains, he quickly returned to Drifting Cloud Valley.
méi yǒu dān gē , zhí jiē huí dào dān xiá shān fèi dān fáng , zì jǐ de qǐ jū shì zhōng 。
没有耽搁,直接回到丹霞山废丹房,自己的起居室中。
Without delay, he went back to Lingyun Sect’s waste pills room and his own living quarters.
guān shàng fáng mén , lín xuān hū de yī xià tǎng zài le chuáng shàng , cǐ zhàn de xiōng xiǎn chéng dù , yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò le shàng cì miàn duì yàn jiā de jiā zhǔ , xiū mó zhě de fǎ shù guǐ yì xié è , ér qiě yè tiān nà jiā huo de shǒu duàn zhe shí hěn duō 。
关上房门,林轩呼的一下躺在了床上,此战的凶险程度,远远超过了上次面对燕家的家主,修魔者的法术诡异邪恶,而且叶天那家伙的手段着实很多。
Closing the door, Lin Xuan lay down on the bed with a sigh of relief. The danger of this battle far exceeded his previous encounter with Yan Family's patriarch. The magic arts of cultivators were strange and evil, and Ye Tian had many tricks up his sleeve.
bù guò zì jǐ yī rán shì zuì hòu de shèng lì zhě !
不过自己依然是最后的胜利者!
But he was still the ultimate victor!
lín xuān xiū xī le yī huì er , dài tǐ lì yǔ fǎ lì huī fù zhī hòu , jiù kāi shǐ jiǎn shì zì jǐ de zhàn lì pǐn le , jiāng chǔ wù dài yī dào , huā lā lā jū rán yǒu shù shí kē jīng shí sàn luò zài zhuō shàng , kàn dé lín xuān liǎng yǎn fàng guāng , chū lüè shù le shù , jū rán yǒu wǔ shí yú kē 。
林轩休息了一会儿,待体力与法力恢复之后,就开始检视自己的战利品了,将储物袋一倒,哗啦啦居然有数十颗晶石散落在桌上,看得林轩两眼放光,初略数了数,居然有五十余颗。
Lin Xuan rested for a while until his strength and essence energy recovered before examining his spoils. He dumped out the contents of the storage bag, revealing several dozen crystal stones that caught his eye. Counting them roughly, there were over fifty.
zhè ràng lín xuān yòu shì xīn xǐ , yòu shì jīng yà , guāng lùn jīng shí de shù liàng , dāng nián zhāng yǔ yě méi yǒu zhè me duō a , bù zhī yè tiān shì qiáng qǔ háo duó , hái shì kēng méng guǎi piàn lái de , dàn bù guǎn rú hé , zhè xiē quán dōu guī zì jǐ le 。
这让林轩又是欣喜,又是惊讶,光论晶石的数量,当年张羽也没有这么多啊,不知叶天是强取豪夺,还是坑蒙拐骗来的,但不管如何,这些全都归自己了。
This made Lin Xuan both happy and surprised. In terms of quantity, even Zhang Yu didn't have this many in a lifetime. Whether Ye Tian had acquired these through force or deceit, they all belonged to him now.
chú cǐ yǐ wài , hái yǒu qī bā zhāng zhōng jiē fú lù , shù liàng suī rán bù duō , dàn duì yú lín xuān lái shuō , yě shì yī bǐ lìng rén xīn xǐ de shōu rù 。
除此以外,还有七八张中阶符箓,数量虽然不多,但对于林轩来说,也是一笔令人欣喜的收入。
In addition, there were several middle-grade talismans, though not many, they still provided a pleasant income for Lin Xuan.
ér zài chǔ wù dài de shēn chù , zhè shì yí gè yù tǒng jiǎn , dàn yǔ pǔ tōng de bù tóng , tā de biǎo miàn , fàn zhe xuè hóng sè de guāng zé , yīn qì jí zhòng , kàn lái cǐ wù , jiù shì jì zǎi xiū mó gōng fǎ de le , lín xuān huái zhōng hào qí , jiāng shén shí zhù rù jìn qù 。
而在储物袋的深处,这是一个玉筒简,但与普通的不同,它的表面,泛着血红色的光泽,阴气极重,看来此物,就是记载修魔功法的了,林轩怀中好奇,将神识注入进去。
Deeper inside the storage bag was an jade cylinder. Unlike ordinary ones, its surface glowed with a blood-red hue and heavy阴气. This must be where the cultivation techniques of cultivators were recorded. Lin Xuan's curiosity piqued as he injected his divine sense into it.
xiǎo bàn gè shí chén hòu , lín xuān yǐ jiāng zhěng piān gōng fǎ liú lǎn le yī biàn , shǒu wò yù tǒng jiǎn , mò mò bù yǔ 。
小半个时辰后,林轩已将整篇功法浏览了一遍,手握玉筒简,默默不语。
After half an hour, Lin Xuan had thoroughly browsed through the entire technique. Holding the jade cylinder silently, he couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of those ancient cultivators who had devised such a unique method to boost cultivation speed significantly.
bù dé bù shuō , nà xiē xiū mó zhě de qián bèi , què shí bù fá cōng míng cái zhì , jū rán xiǎng chū zhè me lìng pì xī jìng de xiū liàn fāng fǎ , kě yǐ dà dà tí shēng xiū wèi de zēng zhǎng sù dù , píng xīn ér lùn , lín xuān yě yǒu yì diǎn diǎn xīn dòng , dàn hěn kuài , tā jiù jiāng zhè zhǒng xiǎng fǎ pāo zhū nǎo hòu , dào bú shì yīn wèi suǒ wèi de zhèng xié zhī jiàn , ér shì zhèng rú mén zhōng qián bèi suǒ yán , mó dào gōng fǎ jìn zhǎn suī kuài , dàn què liú xià le mò dà de lòu dòng yǔ yǐn huàn , yī wèi zhuī qiú sù dù , dào xīn bù wěn , gēn jī tài qiǎn , duì rì hòu de xiū wèi dà yǒu fáng hài , nòng bù hǎo jiù huì zǒu huǒ rù mó , wàn jié bù fù 。
不得不说,那些修魔者的前辈,确实不乏聪明才智,居然想出这么另辟蹊径的修炼方法,可以大大提升修为的增长速度,平心而论,林轩也有一点点心动,但很快,他就将这种想法抛诸脑后,倒不是因为所谓的正邪之见,而是正如门中前辈所言,魔道功法进展虽快,但却留下了莫大的漏洞与隐患,一味追求速度,道心不稳,根基太浅,对日后的修为大有妨害,弄不好就会走火入魔,万劫不复。
Though tempted by this idea, Lin Xuan quickly dismissed it. It wasn’t because of any moral considerations; rather, as his seniors in the sect had said, magic arts progressed rapidly but left significant loopholes and hazards. Focusing solely on speed could destabilize one's heart and leave a shallow foundation, which would harm future cultivation. There was always the risk of going astray and never recovering.
lín xuān kě bù xī wàng zì jǐ de xiān dào zhī lù , zuì hòu huì shì nà yàng yí gè bēi cǎn de jié guǒ , xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ , fǎn zhèng zì jǐ yǒu le tí chún de běn lǐng , zài jiā shàng nǔ lì kè kǔ , yī yàng néng gòu yǒu hěn hǎo de qián tú , bù xū yào jí yú qiú chéng le 。
林轩可不希望自己的仙道之路,最后会是那样一个悲惨的结果,心急吃不了热豆腐,反正自己有了提纯的本领,再加上努力刻苦,一样能够有很好的前途,不需要急于求成了。
Lin Xuan didn't want his path to immortality to end in such a tragic manner. Patience was key; with his ability to purify essence energy and hard work, he could still achieve great things without rushing.
suī rán bù dǎ suàn xiū mó , dàn yě bù néng shuō zhè ge yù tǒng jiǎn háo wú yòng chǔ , gōng fǎ shì bù liàn , kě lǐ miàn hái yǒu bù shǎo shén mì guǐ yì de fǎ shù 。
虽然不打算修魔,但也不能说这个玉筒简毫无用处,功法是不练,可里面还有不少神秘诡异的法术。
Although he wasn’t planning on cultivating magic arts, this jade cylinder might still be useful. While the technique itself wouldn’t benefit him, it contained many mysterious and peculiar spells that were worth learning in time.
suǒ wèi fǎ shù , zhǐ shì líng lì de yùn yòng fāng shì , bù lùn shì xiū zhēn zhě hái shì xiū mó zhě de , xué le dōu bú huì duì gōng fǎ duì shēn tǐ , duì gōng fǎ yǒu rèn hé de hài chù 。
所谓法术,只是灵力的运用方式,不论是修真者还是修魔者的,学了都不会对功法对身体,对功法有任何的害处。
After putting away the jade cylinder, Lin Xuan turned his attention to two other items.
lín xuān chū lüè liú lǎn le yī xià , lǐ miàn de fǎ shù zhī zhōng , yǒu hǎo jǐ zhǒng , dōu pǒ wèi yǒu yòng , yǐ hòu yǒu shí jiān , kě yǐ màn màn xí liàn 。
林轩初略浏览了一下,里面的法术之中,有好几种,都颇为有用,以后有时间,可以慢慢习练。
First was the Hundred Soul Banner. Its power had already been tested by Lin Xuan; it was formidable indeed, capable of both offense and defense. However, its description in the magic technique seemed somewhat different from what he experienced during battle.
fàng xià yù tǒng jiǎn , lín xuān yòu jiāng yǎn guāng fàng zài lìng wài liǎng gè wù jiàn 。
放下玉筒简,林轩又将眼光放在另外两个物件。
According to the magic technique, this banner could rival an upper-grade spiritual artifact. Yet, when fighting Ye Tian, it didn’t seem as powerful as described.
shǒu xiān shì bǎi hún fān , cǐ wù de wēi lì , lín xuān yǐ jīng qīn shēn tǐ yàn , zhe shí bù fán , kě gōng kě shǒu , nǎi shì yī jiàn gōng fáng jiān bèi de lì qì , zhǐ bù guò yǔ yù tǒng jiǎn zhōng de miáo shù , sì hū yǒu chā jù 。
首先是百魂幡,此物的威力,林轩已经亲身体验,着实不凡,可攻可守,乃是一件攻防兼备的利器,只不过与玉筒简中的描述,似乎有差距。
Lin Xuan pondered that perhaps the demon treasure hadn't been fully refined yet, which limited its power. Nevertheless, even in its current state, it surpassed a middle-grade spiritual artifact and was a valuable treasure.
jù nà xiū mó gōng fǎ lǐ shuō , zhè bǎi hún fān kě yǐ pì měi shàng pǐn líng qì , kě zài yǔ yè tiān dǎ dòu shí , cǐ wù sì hū méi yǒu nà me lì hài 。
据那修魔功法里说,这百魂幡可以媲美上品灵器,可在与叶天打斗时,此物似乎没有那么厉害。
Lastly, there was the lower-grade fire snake. For ordinary Flexible Spirit period disciples, an artifact, even just of lower grade, was hard to come by. But Lin Xuan’s situation was special; he had ample resources and didn’t find such items appealing. He could use this fire snake in exchange for suitable spirit stones and materials at a later time.
yào bù rán , jiù suàn shòu hún zhī fú shǔ xìng qià hǎo néng gòu yǔ tā xiāng kè , yě jué duì shì wú fǎ pǐ dí de 。
要不然,就算兽魂之符属性恰好能够与它相克,也绝对是无法匹敌的。
Overall, although the battle was risky, the gains were substantial. The only regret was that the beast soul talisman's energy had diminished significantly. But compared to what he gained, this loss was negligible.
lín xuān xiǎng le xiǎng , yīng gāi shì zhè jiàn mó bǎo hái méi yǒu liàn zhì dà chéng , yīn cǐ zhǐ néng fā huī chū yī bù fèn de wēi néng , bù guò jí biàn rú cǐ , tā de wēi lì yě chāo guò le zhōng pǐn líng qì , shì yī jiàn bù cuò de bǎo wù 。
林轩想了想,应该是这件魔宝还没有炼制大成,因此只能发挥出一部分的威能,不过即便如此,它的威力也超过了中品灵器,是一件不错的宝物。
After categorizing and storing his treasures in his storage bracelet, Lin Xuan lay down on the bed and slept soundly. Although his essence energy and strength had been replenished after resting, a fierce battle left him very tired.
zuì hòu , jiù shì nà jiàn xià pǐn líng qì huǒ shé , duì pǔ tōng de líng dòng qī dì zǐ lái shuō , yī jiàn líng qì , jí biàn jǐn jǐn shì xià pǐn , yě kě yǔ yù bù kě qiú , bù guò lín xuān qíng kuàng tè shū , shēn jiā fēng hòu de tā duì zhè yàng de dōng xī , gēn běn jiù kàn bù shàng yǎn , děng hé shì de shí jī , yòng zhè huǒ shé , qù jiāo huàn yī xiē hé shì de líng shí yǔ cái liào hǎo le 。
最后,就是那件下品灵器火蛇,对普通的灵动期弟子来说,一件灵器,即便仅仅是下品,也可与遇不可求,不过林轩情况特殊,身家丰厚的他对这样的东西,根本就看不上眼,等合适的时机,用这火蛇,去交换一些合适的灵石与材料好了。
The next morning, Lin Xuan began new cultivation exercises.
zǒng de lái shuō , zhè yī zhàn suī rán xiōng xiǎn le xiē , dàn shōu huò hái shì bù cuò , wéi yī yí hàn de shì , shòu hún zhī fú de néng liàng yǐ jīng suǒ shèng bù duō , dàn zhè diǎn sǔn shī yǔ dé dào de hǎo chù xiāng bǐ , gēn běn jiù bù zhí yī tí 。
总的来说,这一战虽然凶险了些,但收获还是不错,唯一遗憾的是,兽魂之符的能量已经所剩不多,但这点损失与得到的好处相比,根本就不值一提。
This time, he didn't rush to advance to a higher stage but prepared to practice spirit control techniques. After two battles, Lin Xuan fully appreciated the benefits of spiritual artifacts. However, relying solely on Drive Object Technique could only tap into part of their power. He wanted to learn the true method for controlling them—spirit control technique.
"Let the matter simmer in your mind as you go to the underworld, and figure it out slowly!"
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile. He formed an unusual hand seal and infused his essence energy into his flying sword.
"Swiftly!"
Like a flash of light or a movie scene, the flying sword rushed towards its opponent. Ye Tian's face turned pale as he desperately poured more essence energy into the demon banner, but it was useless. The ghostly fog shield, though sturdy, crumbled under the astonishing power of an upper-grade spiritual artifact. With a tearing sound, the shield was shredded to pieces.

Lin Xuan felt a bit of pain, but he was glad for the substantial gains from this fight. He approached Ye Tian's corpse and picked up the demon banner first. Then, he found a storage bag in his chest pocket.
After gathering all the treasures, Lin Xuan cast a low-grade sand flow talisman to bury Ye Tian's body underground. Carefully wiping away the bloodstains, he quickly returned to Drifting Cloud Valley.
Without delay, he went back to Lingyun Sect’s waste pills room and his own living quarters.
Closing the door, Lin Xuan lay down on the bed with a sigh of relief. The danger of this battle far exceeded his previous encounter with Yan Family's patriarch. The magic arts of cultivators were strange and evil, and Ye Tian had many tricks up his sleeve.
