林轩并不是故弄玄虚，只不过他虽然偷听到古长风与便宜师傅的谈话。但所了解的消息仅仅是一鳞半爪。如今下结论还为时过早啊。
Lin Xuan was not being unnecessarily mysterious. He had indeed overheard the conversation between Ancient Changfeng and his cheap master, but he only understood a fraction of what they were discussing. It was too early to draw conclusions.
lüè yī chóu chú ， jiù zàn shí jiāng zhè jiàn shì qíng fàng xià ， huà wèi dùn guāng ， jī shè shān xià de dì fāng
略一踌躇，就暂时将这件事情放下，化为遁光，激射山下的地方
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Xuan put the matter aside and transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the base of the mountain.
zhè huǒ yún fēng gǎo shù qiān zhàng ， zǒng tǐ lái shuō ， dà yuē kě fēn wéi sān gè bù fèn
这火云峰搞数千丈，总体来说，大约可分为三个部分
Fire Cloud Peak stretched several thousand feet high, roughly divided into three sections.
fēng dǐng líng qì zuì wèi chōng zú ， nǎi shì fēng zhǔ yǔ jǐ wèi níng dān qī zhǎng lǎo de jū suǒ ， chú le lún zhí xiū shì ， yǐ jí qí tā qīn chuán dì zǐ ， fēi jīng tōng bào ， qí tā rén bù dé shàn rù
封顶灵气最为充足，乃是峰主与几位凝丹期长老的居所，除了轮值修士，以及其他亲传弟子，非经通报，其他人不得擅入
At the peak, where the most abundant spiritual energy resided, were the residences of the sect leader and several Core Formation Period elders. Only rotating cultivators and direct disciples could enter without prior notification.
ér xiàng lín xuān zhè yàng de zhù jī qī dì zǐ ， dòng fǔ zé bèi ān pái zài shān yāo le ， líng qì yǔ fēng dǐng xiāng bǐ ， zì rán yuǎn yuǎn bù jí ， dàn bǐ qī shān jiǎo de líng dòng xiū shì ， què yòu hǎo le shù bèi
而像林轩这样的筑基期弟子，洞府则被安排在山腰了，灵气与封顶相比，自然远远不及，但比期山脚的灵动修士，却又好了数倍
For a Foundation Establishment period disciple like Lin Xuan, his dwelling was located on the mountain's midsection. The spiritual energy here paled in comparison to that at the peak but far exceeded what was available at the foot of the mountain for Flexible Spirit Period cultivators.
lín xuān xīn píng qì hé ， jià yù fēi jiàn líng qì ， méi yī huì jiù dào shān yāo le
林轩心平气和，驾驭飞剑灵器，没一会就到山腰了
Lin Xuan remained calm as he piloted his flying sword and spirit artifact. In no time, he reached the midsection.
fàng yǎn wàng qù yě shì yī piàn qióng lóu yù yǔ ， měi bù shèng shōu ， dāng rán bǐ qǐ fēng dǐng de jiàn zhù hái shì yào chà shàng yī chóu
放眼望去也是一片琼楼玉宇，美不胜收，当然比起封顶的建筑还是要差上一筹
The view from up there was a breathtaking array of palaces and pavilions, though it fell short in comparison to those atop the peak.
zhè ér de xiū shì shù liàng duō le xǔ duō ， shí zhī ** dōu shì zhù jī qī xiū xiān zhě ， kàn jiàn lín xuān méi yǒu chuān běn mén fú shì ， dà duō huì huí tóu wàng shàng yī yǎn ， bù guò jū rán méi rén shàng qián chá kàn
这儿的修士数量多了许多，十之**都是筑基期修仙者，看见林轩没有穿本门服饰，大多会回头望上一眼，不过居然没人上前查看
There were many more cultivators here, with over 90% being Foundation Establishment period practitioners. Most turned their heads when they saw Lin Xuan not wearing his sect's attire, but no one approached to investigate.
lín xuān mō le mō bí zi ， fàng chū shén shí ， yī sǎo zhī hòu xīn zhōng yǐ yǒu le dǐ ， suí jí cháo zuǒ cè de yī dòng jiàn zhù fēi qù
林轩摸了摸鼻子，放出神识，一扫之后心中已有了底，随即朝左侧的一栋建筑飞去
Lin Xuan rubbed his nose and released his divine sense, scanning the area before he had a clear idea of what was happening. He then flew towards a building on the left side.
nà shì yī bǎo tǎ yàng de lóu gé ， mù zhì jié gòu 。 jǐn yǒu shí yú zhàng gāo ， wài miàn zhàn le jǐ gè líng dòng qī de xiū xiān zhě
那是一宝塔样的楼阁，木质结构。仅有十余丈高，外面站了几个灵动期的修仙者
It was a tower-like pavilion with wooden structure, only about ten meters tall. A few Flexible Spirit Period cultivators stood outside.
guāng huá yī liàn ， lín xuān zài qián miàn píng tái shàng jiàng luò
光华一潋，林轩在前面平台上降落
A young man in gray clothes, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, greeted Lin Xuan with a bow. His cultivation level was the highest among the guards.
“ zhè lǐ shì yù shū gé ， qǐng wèn qián bèi kě shì xìng lín ma ？” yī shēn chuān huī yī ， dà yuē èr shí qī bā suì de nián qīng rén chōng zhe lín xuān bào quán xíng lǐ ， cǐ rén xiū wèi yě shì jǐ gè kān mén dì zǐ zhōng zuì gāo de
“这里是玉书阁，请问前辈可是姓林吗？”一身穿灰衣，大约二十七八岁的年轻人冲着林轩抱拳行礼，此人修为也是几个看门弟子中最高的
"Are you here for the Jade Book Pavilion? May I ask if your surname is Lin?" he asked.
“ nǐ rèn shí wǒ ？” lín xuān méi tóu yī diào de shuō
“你认识我？”林轩眉头一调的说
"Do I know you?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
“ hē hē ， gāng gāng léi shī zǔ yǐ fā lái chuán yīn fú ， wǒ děng shì fèng sòng shī shū zhī mìng zài zhè lǐ děng hòu qián bèi de ” nà shào nián guāi qiǎo biàn jiě
“呵呵，刚刚雷师祖已发来传音符，我等是奉宋师叔之命在这里等候前辈的”那少年乖巧辩解
"Haha, Senior Master Lei has already sent a voice talisman. We are here to await your arrival as per Senior Master Song's instructions," the young man explained meekly.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， yě bù duō shuō “ rú cǐ yǒu láo ， dài lù ”
林轩点了点头，也不多说“如此有劳，带路”
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble. Lead the way."
“ shì qián bèi qǐng zǒu zhè biān ”
“是前辈请走这边”
"Follow me, please."
gēn zhè cǐ rén ， lín xuān jìn le tǎ lóu 。 chuān guò yī xiē huí láng yǐ hòu ， lín xuān bèi dài dào yǐ shāo dà de táng wū
跟这此人，林轩进了塔楼。穿过一些回廊以后，林轩被带到已稍大的堂屋
Following this man, Lin Xuan entered the tower. After passing through some corridors, he was brought into a larger hall.
“ qián bèi qǐng shāo zuò ， wǒ zhè jiù qù qǐng sòng shī shū ”
“前辈请稍坐，我这就去请宋师叔”
"Please have a seat. I will go fetch Senior Master Song," the young man said.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， yóu mù dà liàng sì zhōu 。 zhè shì yī jiān hěn pǔ tōng de wū zi ， gān jìng zhěng jié ， méi yǒu shén me yì yàng ， bù guò bù zhì de dào hái suàn diǎn yǎ
林轩点了点头，游目大量四周。这是一间很普通的屋子，干净整洁，没有什么异样，不过布置的倒还算典雅
Lin Xuan nodded and looked around. The room was ordinary but clean and tidy, with no unusual features, though it was elegantly arranged.
tā bìng méi yǒu děng duō jiǔ ， hěn kuài ， yǐ pàng pàng de ， mǎn liǎn hé qì de zhōng nián rén zǒu jìn le táng wū 。 jiàn dào lín xuān hòu ， lù chū háo bù yǎn shì de xiào róng “ hē hē ， zhè wèi yí dìng shì lín shī dì le ， guǒ rán xiàng mào táng táng ， fēi chí zhōng zhī wù 。 yú xiōng xìng sòng ， yǐ hòu wǒ men jiù shì tóng mén le ”
他并没有等多久，很快，已胖胖的，满脸和气的中年人走进了堂屋。见到林轩后，露初毫不掩饰的笑容“呵呵，这位一定是林师弟了，果然相貌堂堂，非池中之物。愚兄性宋，以后我们就是同门了”
He didn't wait long before an overweight middle-aged man with a friendly face entered the hall. He greeted Lin Xuan with a smile. "Ah, this must be Younger Brother Lin. You truly have an imposing appearance; you are not one to remain in the mundane world. My name is Song Feng. From now on, we will be fellow cultivators."
lín xuān tīng le ， bù yóu de liě le liě zuǐ jiǎo 。 zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ qīng chǔ ， tā zhǎng xiàng shí fēn pǔ tōng ， shǔ yú diū dài rén duī jiù bèi yān mò de nà zhǒng ， xiàng mào táng táng lín xuān tà rù xiān dào yī lái ， hái shì dì yī cì tīng jiàn zhè zhǒng kuā jiǎng
林轩听了，不由得咧了咧嘴角。自己的情况自己清楚，他长相十分普通，属于丢带人堆就被淹没的那种，相貌堂堂林轩踏入仙道一来，还是第一次听见这种夸奖
Lin Xuan couldn't help but smirk at his own appearance. He was quite ordinary and easily lost among a crowd, so such praise for his looks was rare.
dāng rán ， yǐ lín xuān de xīn jī ， biǎo miàn shàng zì rán bù dòng shēng sè ， yǔ duì fāng xū yǔ wēi yí ， kàn shàng qù jiù xiàng duō nián de lǎo yǒu
当然，以林轩的心机，表面上自然不动声色，与对方虚与委蛇，看上去就像多年的老友
Still, Lin Xuan's cunning prevented him from showing any emotion. He acted like an old friend, maintaining a facade of familiarity with Song Feng.
sòng fēng yě àn zhōng dà liàng lín xuān ， tā zuò zhè yù shū gé de zhí shì yǐ yǒu duō nián ， zhuān mén fù zé chǔ lǐ huǒ yún fēng shàng de zhù jī qī xiū shì ， wèi tā men tí gōng dòng fǔ yǐ jí yī xiē zá wù ， yě suàn shì měi chāi le
宋风也暗中大量林轩，他做这玉书阁的执事已有多年，专门负责处理火云峰上的筑基期修士，为他们提供洞府以及一些杂物，也算是美差了
Song Feng secretly sized up Lin Xuan. As the head of the Jade Book Pavilion for many years, he specialized in dealing with Foundation Establishment period cultivators on Fire Cloud Peak, providing them with dwellings and other necessities. This was quite a favorable position.
zhè xiē nián lái ， yīn wèi shàn cháng dān dào ér bèi pò lì shōu jìn lái de tóng mén yě bù shǎo ， dàn xiàng zhè yàng yī rù mén jiù bèi zhǎng lǎo shōu wèi jì míng dì zǐ de kě shì fèng máo lín jiǎo ， ér qiě léi shī shū de chuán yīn fú ， duì zhè lín xuān shí fēn zhòng shì ， duì fāng de qián tú kě xiǎng ér zhī gèng / xīn / chāo / kuài ①⑥， yě nán guài tā dòng le bā jié de xīn sī
这些年来，因为擅长丹道而被破例收进来的同门也不少，但像这样一入门就被长老收为记名弟子的可是凤毛麟角，而且雷师叔的传音符，对这林轩十分重视，对方的前途可想而知更/新/超/快①⑥，也难怪他动了巴结的心思
Over the years, due to his expertise in alchemy, several fellow cultivators had been admitted despite not meeting the usual criteria. However, being taken as a registered disciple by an elder upon joining the sect was extremely rare. Moreover, Senior Master Lei's voice talisman indicated significant importance for Lin Xuan, making it clear that he would have a bright future.
rú cǐ yī lái lín xuān tiāo xuǎn dòng fǔ zì rán shùn lì wú bǐ ， tā bèi fēn pèi dào yī dān dú de xiǎo xiá gǔ ， bù jǐn líng qì chōng zú ， ér qiě huán jìng qīng yōu
如此一来林轩挑选洞府自然顺利无比，他被分配到一单独的小峡谷，不仅灵气充足，而且环境清幽
With this in mind, selecting his dwelling was smooth sailing. He was assigned to a secluded small valley with abundant spiritual energy and a tranquil environment.
yī dùn fàn hòu ， lín xuān lái dào nà xiǎo xiá gǔ
一顿饭后，林轩来到那小峡谷
After lunch, Lin Xuan arrived at the small valley.
bì shàng shuāng mù ， jiāng shén shí lǒng zhào fù jìn ， piàn kè hòu ， lín xuān lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè
闭上双目，将神识笼罩附近，片刻后，林轩露出满意之色
Closing his eyes, he extended his divine sense to cover the area. After a moment, Lin Xuan showed satisfaction.
lián dòng fǔ dōu shì xiàn chéng de
连洞府都是现成的
Even his dwelling had been prepared for him.
zhè méi yǒu shén me hào qí guài ， xiàng liè yáng mén zhè yàng de míng mén dà pài ， bù zhī dào chuán chéng le duō shǎo dài ， yī míng gāng gāng rù mén de pǔ tōng xiū shì ， zì rán shì jū zhù zài shān xià nà jiǎn lòu de xiǎo shí wū ， shù shí nián zhù jī chéng gōng zé kě yǐ lái shān yāo xuǎn zhǐ kāi pì dòng fǔ
这没有什么好奇怪，像烈阳门这样的名门大派，不知道传承了多少代，一名刚刚入门的普通修士，自然是居住在山下那简陋的小石屋，数十年筑基成功则可以来山腰选址开辟洞府
This wasn't unusual; in a prestigious sect like Fiery Sun Sect, which had existed for countless generations, newly enrolled ordinary cultivators naturally lived in simple stone huts at the foot of the mountain. Only after decades of Foundation Establishment could they choose to build their own dwellings on the midsection.
ér bǎi zài hòu ， ruò jī yuán qiǎo hé ， néng gòu chéng wéi níng dān de gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě ， zì rán bān dào fēng dǐng de diàn yǔ qù zhù 。
而百载后，若机缘巧合，能够成为凝丹的高阶修仙者，自然搬到峰顶的殿宇去住。
After a century or so, if one were fortunate enough and met with good fortune, they might become a Core Formation Period cultivator and move into the peak's grand halls.
gù ér zhè dòng fǔ ， dōu shì yí dài yí dài chuán xià lái ， bù yòng huā gōng fu ， zhǐ xū shōu shí yī xià jiù kě yǐ jū zhù
故而这洞府，都是一代一代传下来，不用花功夫，只需收拾一下就可以居住
Thus, these dwellings were passed down through generations without much effort required; all that was needed was some tidying up before moving in.
lǐng lái de nà tào zhèn qí lín xuān zì rán bù kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， shēn shǒu yī pāi ， jiù qǔ chū jǐ gè zì jǐ yǐ qián shōu jí de zhèn pán ， yī yī bù zhì zài dòng fǔ páng biān
领来的那套阵旗林轩自然不看在眼里，伸手一拍，就取出几个自己以前收集的阵盘，一一布置在洞府旁边
Lin Xuan paid no attention to the array flags he had been shown. With a wave of his hand, he retrieved several talismans from his collection and arranged them around his dwelling.
jià qīng jiù shú ， piàn kè hòu shù gè děng jí bù dī de zhèn fǎ jiù jiāng dòng fǔ láo láo bǎo hù
驾轻就熟，片刻后数个等级不低的阵法就将洞府牢牢保护
With ease, several low-grade arrays soon protected his dwelling without any visible changes.
rán ér biǎo miàn méi yǒu shén me yì yàng
然而表面没有什么异样
After everything was set, Lin Xuan took a full hour to inspect it thoroughly.
jiāng zhè yī qiè ān pái tuǒ dàng ， yī shì zú zú guò qù kàn yí gè shí chén
将这一切安排妥当，一是足足过去看一个时辰
"Master, are you really going to settle down here for cultivation?" Mo'er asked curiously.
“ shào yé ， nǐ zhēn zhǔn bèi zài zhè ér màn màn xiū liàn xià qù ？” yuè ér yǒu xiē hào qí de kāi kǒu
“少爷，你真准备在这儿慢慢修炼下去？”月儿有些好奇的开口
"Stupid girl, impatience gets you nowhere. For the Celestial Dust Pill, we can bide our time," Lin Xuan said nonchalantly.
“ shǎ yā tou ， xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， gèng / xīn / chāo / kuài ①⑥ wèi le tiān chén dān ， zàn shí yǐn rěn yī xià yòu rú hé ” lín xuān bù zài yì de shuō
“傻丫头，心急吃不了热豆腐，更/新/超/快①⑥为了天尘丹，暂时隐忍一下又如何”林轩不在意的说
He then placed his hand on his forehead and began pondering over the conversation between the old monster and his cheap master. Although the information was limited, he could piece together several clues by carefully sorting through it.
suí hòu tā yǐ shǒu fú é ， kāi shǐ sī liáng qǐ nà wèi lǎo guài wù yǔ pián yi shī fù de tán huà lái ， suī rán xìn xī bù duō ， dān dàn zǐ xì zhěng lǐ yě kě yǐ dé chū bù shǎo xiàn suǒ
随后他以手扶额，开始思量起那位老怪物与便宜师傅的谈话来，虽然信息不多，丹但仔细整理也可以得出不少线索
The other party seemed to be preparing a certain type of pill, but his alchemist was severely lacking in talent, which is why they had taken notice of him.
duì fāng sì hū yào liàn zhì mǒu zhǒng dān yào ， ér zì jǐ de dān shī què yán zhòng bù zú ， suǒ yǐ kàn zhòng kàn zì jǐ de tiān fù
对方似乎要炼制某种丹药，而自己的丹师却严重不足，所以看中看自己的天赋
As the young lord of Spirit Herb Mountain, Lin Xuan knew quite a bit about alchemy.
zuò wéi líng yào shān de shǎo zhǔ ， lín xuān duì yú liàn dān shù ， zì rán liǎo jiě pǒ duō
作为灵药山的少主，林轩对于炼丹术，自然了解颇多
Generally, most pills could be completed by one alchemist. However, ancient texts mentioned that some extremely rare pills required multiple alchemists to work together.
yì bān lái shuō ， dà bù fèn de dān yào dōu zhǐ xū yào yī míng liàn dān shī jiù kě yǐ wán chéng ， bù guò jù gǔ jí jì zǎi ， yě yǒu jí shǎo shù dān yào shí fēn tè shū ， xiǎng yào liàn zhì ， xū yào shù míng dān yào shī tōng lì hé zuò
一般来说，大部分的丹药都只需要一名炼丹师就可以完成，不过据古籍记载，也有极少数丹药十分特殊，想要炼制，需要数名丹药师通力合作
These pills invariably possessed extraordinary effects.
ér zhè zhǒng dān yào wú yī lì wài dōu yōng yǒu fēi cháng shén qí de xiào guǒ
而这种丹药无一例外都拥有非常神奇的效果
Despite Spirit Herb Mountain's vast collection of pill formulas, none contained specific recipes for such things in the cultivation world. The rarity was evident from this fact alone.
ér yǐ líng yào shān shōu jí de dān shū zhī duō ， què yě shì jǐn tí dào xiū xiān jiè yǒu zhè zhǒng shì ， zhì yú jù tǐ dān fāng ， què shì bàn zhāng yě méi yǒu
而以灵药山收集的丹书之多，却也是仅提到修仙界有这种事，至于具体丹方，却是半张也没有
This thought made Lin Xuan feel a strong desire, but he quickly suppressed his greed. His goal of infiltrating Fiery Sun Sect was to use the Qilin Fire Vein to refine the Celestial Dust Pill. For now, focusing on condensing his essence was crucial; any distractions would be detrimental.
Lin Xuan was not being unnecessarily mysterious. He had indeed overheard the conversation between Ancient Changfeng and his cheap master, but he only understood a fraction of what they were discussing. It was too early to draw conclusions.
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Xuan put the matter aside and transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the base of the mountain.
