… zhèn xuàn yūn ！
…阵眩晕！
...Dizziness!
zài tà rù wù qì de shùn jiān ， lín xuān jìng yǒu yī zhǒng yuǎn jù lí chuán sòng bān de gǔ guài zhī gǎn 。
在踏入雾气的瞬间，林轩竟有一种远距离传送般的古怪之感。
As soon as he stepped into the mist, Lin Xuan felt a strange sensation akin to distant teleportation.
bù guò lín xuān qīng chǔ ， zì jǐ yī jiù zài yuán dì ， zhè zhǒng gǎn jué bù guò shì xū huàn ér yǐ 。
不过林轩清楚，自己依旧在原地，这种感觉不过是虚幻而已。
However, Lin Xuan knew that he was still in place. This feeling was merely an illusion.
hǎo zài méi yǒu shòu dào bié de gōng jī ， lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， bào yuán shǒu yī ， zhè zhǒng bù shì zhú jiàn dàn qù ， yǎn qián de jǐng wù yī piàn mó hú ， jiē zhe yòu jiàn jiàn qīng xī qǐ lái le 。
好在没有受到别的攻击，林轩松了口气，抱元守一，这种不适逐渐淡去，眼前的景物一片模糊，接着又渐渐清晰起来了。
Fortunately, no other attacks were directed at him, and Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief. He focused on his dantian, and the discomfort gradually faded away as the surroundings became blurry before becoming clear again.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， liǎn shàng què bù yóu de lù chū le yī sī jīng yà zhī sè 。
林轩将神识放出，脸上却不由得露出了一丝惊讶之色。
Lin Xuan released his divine sense, but a look of surprise appeared on his face.
zì jǐ míng míng zǒu jìn rù le yù zhì dì lóu gé ， rán ér cǐ kè què fǎng fú zhì shēn yú yī jù dà de gǔ dòng 。” shào yé ！”
自己明明走进入了玉质的楼阁，然而此刻却仿佛置身于一巨大的古洞。”少爷！”
He had clearly entered an elegant building made of jade, yet now it seemed like he was in a vast ancient cave. "Young Master!"
yuè ér yě mǎn miàn yí huò ， bù guò lín xuān dǎo shì hěn kuài huī fù le cóng róng ， bú yòng shuō ， zhè yě shì shàng gǔ qí lín de mǒu zhǒng dà shén tōng ， yīng gāi bú shì huàn shù ， bù guò jù tǐ shì shén me lín xuān yě méi yǒu xīn qíng tàn suǒ 。
月儿也满面疑惑，不过林轩倒是很快恢复了从容，不用说，这也是上古麒麟的某种大神通，应该不是幻术，不过具体是什么林轩也没有心情探索。
Moon also looked puzzled, but Lin Xuan quickly regained his composure. This must be some great power of the ancient qilin, not likely to be an illusion. However, what exactly it was, Lin Xuan didn't feel like exploring further.
tā kāi shǐ xiǎo xīn de dǎ liàng qǐ zhè ge dòng xué lái le 。
他开始小心的打量起这个洞穴来了。
He began to carefully examine this cave.
chéng pǔ xíng ， yuē yǒu bǎi zhàng jiàn fāng ， qián fāng hái yǒu ， tiáo zhǎi zhǎi de tōng dào ， rán ér zài cǐ dòng de yī jiǎo ， què yǒu yī kǒu xiāng zi bǎi fàng 。
呈圃形，约有百丈见方，前方还有，条窄窄的通道，然而在此洞的一角，却有一口箱子摆放。
The cave was roughly square-shaped, about a hundred feet in each direction, with a narrow passage leading forward. In one corner of the cave, there was a box placed on the ground.
zì jǐ lái dào cǐ chù ， dì yī rèn wù dāng rán shì xún zhǎo huǒ mài ， bù guò yǒu bié de bǎo wù ， lín xuān zì rán yě bú huì fàng guò de 。
自己来到此处，第一任务当然是寻找火脉，不过有别的宝物，林轩自然也不会放过的。
His first task upon arriving here was undoubtedly to find the fire vein, but other treasures were not something Lin Xuan would pass up.
lüè yī chí yí ， biàn mài bù zǒu le guò qù 。
略一迟疑，便迈步走了过去。
After a moment's hesitation, he stepped towards it.
xiāng zi bù dà ， zhǎng chǐ hàn ， biǎo miàn huī pū pū ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， kuáng fēng chuī guò ， màn tiān huī chén fēi wǔ ， xiāng zi yě lù chū le xī běn lái de yán sè 。
箱子不大，长尺汗，表面灰扑扑，林轩袖袍一拂，狂风吹过，漫天灰尘飞舞，箱子也露出了牺本来的颜色。
The box wasn't large, measuring about a foot in length. Its surface was dusty and gray. With a wave of his sleeve, a strong wind blew through, sending dust flying everywhere, revealing the original color of the box.
lín xuān shén sè yī dòng ， zhè xiāng zi jū rán shì yòng liàn zhì fǎ bǎo de cái liào qiān nián tiě mǔ dǎ zhì ér chéng ， lǐ miàn yǒu shén me bǎo wù zàn qiě bù shuō ， guāng shì zhè me dà yī kuài tiě mǔ ， jiù zú yǐ jià zhí shù wàn jīng shí 。
林轩神色一动，这箱子居然是用炼制法宝的材料千年铁母打制而成，里面有什么宝物暂且不说，光是这么大一块铁母，就足以价值数万晶石。
Lin Xuan's expression changed as he realized that this must be an iron mother. Perhaps it had been used to store treasures before its ascension. Even with his composure, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of obtaining such a rare treasure for refining the Heavenly Dust Pill.
biàn shì yuán yīng qī lǎo guài yě huì chuí xián yù dī ， bù guò lín xuān de biǎo qíng yī rì píng jìng wú bǐ ， tā xiān shì yòng shén shí yī sǎo ， què dìng xiāng zi shàng miàn bìng méi yǒu bié de jìn zhì ， rán hòu cái jiāng qí dǎ kāi le 。
便是元婴期老怪也会垂涎欲滴，不过林轩的表情依日平静无比，他先是用神识一扫，确定箱子上面并没有别的禁制，然后才将其打开了。
Taking several deep breaths, he finally calmed down.
lǐ miàn dōng xī bù duō ， jǐn sān yàng ér yǐ ， yī dāo ， yī jiàn ， hái yǒu yī gān fān qí 。
里面东西不多，仅三样而已，一刀，一剑，还有一杆幡旗。
However, Lin Xuan wouldn't enter rashly. The refinement of the Heavenly Dust Pill wasn't something that could be done overnight. He decided to explore other parts of the cave first.
gǔ bǎo ！
古宝！
The practice room was empty, as expected. Before entering the treasure vault, Lin Xuan had already asked the Corpse Demon to scout around and ensure there were no dangers before he entered himself.
yǐ lín xuān de yǎn lì ， zì rán hěn róng yì rèn chū yǎn qián de dōng xī ， rán ér què méi yǒu liú lù chū tài duō huān xǐ de biǎo qíng 。
以林轩的眼力，自然很容易认出眼前的东西，然而却没有流露出太多欢喜的表情。
Inside, the furnishings were simple. There were three tiers of wooden racks, but it wasn't clear what kind of wood they were made from; despite the passage of time, they hadn't been corroded.
huò xǔ duì yú yì bān de gāo jiē xiū shì ， shèn zhì shì yuán yīng qī lǎo guài lái shuō ， gǔ bǎo dōu jí nán huò dé ， dàn lín xuān qíng kuàng tè shū 。
或许对于一般的高阶修士，甚至是元婴期老怪来说，古宝都极难获得，但林轩情况特殊。
Lin Xuan's interest piqued, but after a thorough inspection, he was disappointed. The wood seemed to have undergone some processing, but Lin Xuan couldn't discern the specific techniques used.
tā bǎo wù zhī duō lìng rén dèng mù jié shé ， ér yǎn qián zhè sān yàng suī rán pǐn jiē bù dī ， dàn yě bù néng suàn rú hé de liǎo bù qǐ 。
他宝物之多令人瞪目结舌，而眼前这三样虽然品阶不低，但也不能算如何的了不起。
It wasn't surprising. Qilin were ancient beasts that had even ascended to the realm of spirits. While Lin Xuan was no slouch in terms of power, there was still a vast gap between him and such creatures.
lín xuān suí shǒu jiāng xī men fàng rù le chǔ wù dài lǐ ， rán hòu jì xù xiàng qián zǒu qù 。
林轩随手将牺们放入了储物袋里，然后继续向前走去。
Apart from preservation, it seemed they served no other purpose. The wooden racks were empty except for a few pieces of spirit artifacts and an emerald cylinder.
chuān guò nà xiá zhǎi de tōng dào ， zǒu le yuē yǒu 。 shí zhàng de jù lí ， qián miàn chū xiàn le yī dǔ hòu shí de qiáng bì ， rán ér qiáng bì shàng què yǒu shù dào shí mén ， xiǎn rán zì jǐ yǐ lái dào le qí lín gǔ dòng de zhōng xīn wèi zhì 。
穿过那狭窄的通道，走了约有。十丈的距离，前面出现了一堵厚实的墙壁，然而墙壁上却有数道石门，显然自己已来到了麒麟古洞的中心位置。
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead with a wry smile.
lín xuān yǎn jīng yī mī ， měi yī shàn mén shàng dōu yǒu jǐ gè gǔ piáo de wén zì 。” liàn gōng fáng ”“ huǒ yún kū ”“ cáng bǎo kù ”…
林轩眼睛一眯，每一扇门上都有几个古朴的文字。”练功房”“火云窟”“藏宝库”…
Perhaps the qilin had indeed stored many treasures here before its ascension, but most likely all valuable items had been taken along.
zhè zhǒng wén zì fēi cháng shēng pì ， hǎo zài lín xuān què yě qià qiǎo rèn shí ， xīn zhōng zì rán dà xǐ ， huǒ yún kū ？ nán dào biàn shì dì mài zhī huǒ ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě bù yóu de xǐ xíng yú sè ， wèi le zhè jí pǐn de dì mài zhī huǒ ， zì jǐ kě bù zhī dào huā fèi le duō shǎo shàng fū 。
这种文字非常生僻，好在林轩却也恰巧认识，心中自然大喜，火云窟？难道便是地脉之火，即便以林轩的城府，也不由得喜形于色，为了这极品的地脉之火，自己可不知道花费了多少上夫。
Spirit artifacts?
shēn hū xī le jǐ kǒu ， cái zhōng yú píng xī le xīn zhōng de jī dòng 。
深呼吸了几口，才终于平息了心中的激动。
They meant nothing to a wealthy individual like Lin Xuan. Nevertheless, out of caution, he still inspected them and found no special uses, then put them away in his storage bag. His storage bag was a treasure itself, far larger than those of other cultivators by several dozen times.
bù guò lín xuān zì rán bú huì mào rán jìn rù ， fǎn zhèng liàn zhì tiān chén dān yě bú shì yī zhāo yī xī de ， tā jué dìng xiān jiāng dòng fǔ qí tā de dì fāng tàn suǒ 。
不过林轩自然不会冒然进入，反正炼制天尘丹也不是一朝一夕的，他决定先将洞府其他的地方探索。
There seemed to be nothing else in the cave.
liàn gōng fáng zhōng shén me yě méi yǒu ， bù guò zhè yě zài lín xuān de yù liào zhī zhōng ， jìn rù cáng bǎo kù qián tā xiān ràng shī mó zuò le yī fān tàn suǒ ， què dìng méi yǒu wēi xiǎn cái zì jǐ shī shī rán zǒu rù 。
练功房中什么也没有，不过这也在林轩的预料之中，进入藏宝库前他先让尸魔做了一番探索，确定没有危险才自己施施然走入。
Lin Xuan felt puzzled. After all, this was the qilin's lair; such discoveries were too meager for a place like this.
lǐ miàn de chén shè fēi cháng jiǎn piáo ， mù jià dǎo shì yǒu sān céng zhī duō ， yě bù zhī dào shì shén me mù tou ， suì yuè yōu yōu ， què bìng méi yǒu bèi fǔ shí 。
里面的陈设非常简朴，木架倒是有三层之多，也不知道是什么木头，岁月悠悠，却并没有被腐蚀。
Moreover, three ancient treasures had been openly displayed in the main hall, but only a few spirit artifacts remained in the treasure vault.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū gǎn xìng qù zhī sè ， kě chá kàn yī fān zhī hòu yòu dà shī suǒ wàng le ， zhè zhǒng mù tou xiǎn rán jīng guò yī fān liàn zhì ， rán ér jù tǐ de shǒu fǎ zì jǐ què sī háo yě kàn bù chū 。
林轩脸上露出感兴趣之色，可查看一番之后又大失所望了，这种木头显然经过一番炼制，然而具体的手法自己却丝毫也看不出。
Something must have been overlooked!
méi shén me hào qí guài de ， qí lín nǎi shì shàng gǔ yì shòu ， hòu lái shèn zhì fēi shēng líng jiè le ， lín xuān shén tōng suī rán bù ruò ， dàn yǔ qí xiāng bǐ yī jiù shì tiān chā dì yuǎn de 。
没什么好奇怪的，麒麟乃是上古异兽，后来甚至飞升灵界了，林轩神通虽然不弱，但与其相比依旧是天差地远的。
With that thought, Lin Xuan released his divine sense and began to search carefully. However, he found nothing.
chú le fáng fǔ ， sì hū yě méi yǒu shén me bié de yòng tú ， ér mù jià shàng miàn ， yǐ kōng kōng rú yě ， jǐn shèng xià le jǐ jiàn líng qì yǐ jí yī méi yù tǒng jiǎn 。
除了防腐，似乎也没有什么别的用途，而木架上面，已空空如也，仅剩下了几件灵器以及一枚玉筒简。
A flash of white light revealed Moon's appearance as she joined the search team.
lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， liǎn shàng lù chū le kǔ xiào zhī sè 。
林轩以手抚额，脸上露出了苦笑之色。
After several cups of tea, Moon called out, "Young Master, look! What is this?"
huò xǔ yǐ qián ， qí lín què shí zài zhè lǐ fàng zhì le bù shǎo bǎo wù ， bù guò zài fēi shēng de shí hòu ， pāo shí yǒu ** quán dōu dài zǒu ，
或许以前，麒麟确实在这里放置了不少宝物，不过在飞升的时候，抛十有**全都带走，
Hearing Moon's exclamation, Lin Xuan followed her voice. In one corner of the cave, there was a round stone that looked like a ripe apple, roughly the size of his fist. "What?" Lin Xuan didn't see anything unusual about it.
líng qì ？
灵器？
"Use your spirit eye technique, Young Master," Moon suggested with a smile.
duì fù yǒu de zì jǐ jiǎn zhí bù zhí yī tí ， dāng rán ， běn zhe níng shā cuò ， xiàng fàng guò de xīn lǐ ， lín xuān hái shì jiǎn shì le yī fān de 。 méi yǒu fā xiàn tè shū yòng tú ， dàn xiǎng le xiǎng ， lín xuān hái shì shōu rù le chǔ wù dài zhōng 。
对富有的自己简直不值一提，当然，本着宁杀错，向放过的心理，林轩还是检视了一番的。没有发现特殊用途，但想了想，林轩还是收入了储物袋中。
Lin Xuan was taken aback. Spirit Eye Technique was almost considered an introductory skill for cultivators; its primary use was to enhance vision or penetrate thin mists. He hadn't used it much since his foundation completion.
fǎn zhèng tā de chǔ wù dài yě shì yī jiàn bǎo wù ， yuǎn bǐ qí tā xiū shì de róng jī yào dà shù shí bèi zhī duō 。
反正他的储物袋也是一件宝物，远比其他修士的容积要大数十倍之多。
But there must be a reason why Moon suggested this, so Lin Xuan slowly infused his qi into his eyes.
chú cǐ yǐ wài ， dòng fǔ zhōng sì hū jiù méi yǒu bié de dōng xī le 。
除此以外，洞府中似乎就没有别的东西了。
"Ah?"
lín xuān bù yóu de yǒu xiē yí huò ， zěn me shuō zhè lǐ yě shì qí lín dòng fǔ ， zhè diǎn fā xiàn wèi miǎn tài hán chěn yì diǎn le 。
林轩不由得有些疑惑，怎么说这里也是麒麟洞府，这点发现未免太寒碜一点了。
The surroundings remained unchanged, but the fist-sized stone emitted a faint white light.
hé kuàng zài chuān miàn de dà tīng zhī zhōng ， dōu táng ér huáng zhī de fàng le sān jiàn gǔ bǎo ， méi dào lǐ zài cáng bǎo kù ， què zhǐ yǒu jǐ jiàn líng qì yí liú 。
何况在川面的大厅之中，都堂而皇之的放了三件古宝，没道理在藏宝库，却只有几件灵器遗留。
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed as he didn't think about the cause. He wrapped his hand in a layer of spiritual light and grasped the stone.
yí dìng yǒu suǒ yí lòu ！
一定有所遗漏！
He lifted it gently; it was immovable. After some thought, Lin Xuan began to rotate his hand left and right.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān fàng chū shén shí ， kāi shǐ zǐ xì sōu suǒ ， rán ér yī wú suǒ huò 。
想到这里，林轩放出神识，开始仔细搜索，然而一无所获。
This time, something useful happened.
bái guāng yī shǎn ， yuè ér yě xiàn shēn chū lái ， jiā rù le xún zhǎo de duì wǔ 。
白光一闪，月儿也现身出来，加入了寻找的队伍。
With "clicking" sounds, a small hole appeared three feet to the left.
zhuǎn yǎn guò qù le shù zhǎn chá de gōng fu 。” shào yé nǐ kàn ， zhè shì shén me ？”
转眼过去了数盏茶的功夫。”少爷你看，这是什么？”
It was clearly an机关 (mechanism). Lin Xuan chuckled. Without any magical restrictions or divine sense detection, it wasn't surprising that he had overlooked this mechanism.
tīng jiàn yuè ér de huān hū ， lín xuān máng xún shēng wàng qù le ， zhǐ jiàn zài dòng xué de yī biān ， yǒu yī kuài yuán xíng de shí tou ， hěn xiàng shú tòu de píng guǒ ， dà xiǎo yǔ quán tou chà bu duō 。” zěn me ！” lín xuān bìng méi yǒu kàn chū cǐ shí de bù tuǒ 。
听见月儿的欢呼，林轩忙循声望去了，只见在洞穴的一边，有一块圆形的石头，很像熟透的苹果，大小与拳头差不多。”怎么！”林轩并没有看出此石的不妥。
The hole wasn't deep; inside were three jade boxes with seals and inscriptions, suggesting they contained something valuable.
“ shào yé ， nǐ kě yǐ yòng yī xià líng yǎn shù 。” yuè ér wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“少爷，你可以用一下灵眼术。”月儿微笑着说。
Lin Xuan waved his hand to summon one of the jade boxes, which appeared in his palm. He exhaled a breath of qi, igniting the seal without any wind. Lin Xuan opened it calmly.
lín xuān tīng le bù yóu de yī zhèn cuò è ， zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， duì yú xiū xiān zhě ， líng yǎn shù jī hū kě suàn shì rù mén de fǎ shù ， zuò yòng jǐn jǐn shì tí gāo shì lì huò zhě chuān tòu bó wù ， lín xuān zhù jī chéng gōng yǐ hòu jiù hěn shǎo yòng le 。
林轩听了不由得一阵错愕，众所周知，对于修仙者，灵眼术几乎可算是入门的法术，作用仅仅是提高视力或者穿透薄雾，林轩筑基成功以后就很少用了。
A round bead about the size of a dragon's eye appeared before him. "This is...
dàn yuè ér zhè me shuō kěn dìng yǒu tā de lǐ yóu ， lín xuān jiāng fǎ lì huǎn huǎn de zhù rù shuāng mù ，
但月儿这么说肯定有她的理由，林轩将法力缓缓的注入双目，
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then looked puzzled as he brought the bead closer to examine it more closely.
“ yí ？”
“咦？”
He cast a spell on it.
qí tā dì fāng yī jiù yī qiè rú gù ， wéi yǒu nà quán tou dà xiǎo de shí tou fā chū yī céng dàn dàn de bái guāng lái le 。
其他地方依旧一切如故，唯有那拳头大小的石头发出一层淡淡的白光来了。
The spiritual light flickered and then disappeared from the surface of the bead.
lín xuān méi shāo yī dòng ， yě bù qù sī lǜ yuán yóu ， shǒu zhǎng bèi yī céng líng guāng bāo guǒ ， jiāng nà shí tou wò zài le zhǎng zhōng 。
林轩眉梢一动，也不去思虑缘由，手掌被一层灵光包裹，将那石头握在了掌中。
Lin Xuan was delighted. He raised his left hand, igniting a green flame on his finger.
qīng qīng tí le tí ， wén sī bù dòng ， lín xuān lüè yī sī suǒ ， gǎi wéi xiàng zuǒ yòu xuán zhuǎn qǐ lái le 。
轻轻提了提，纹丝不动，林轩略一思索，改为向左右旋转起来了。
The bead remained unharmed by this fire, and Lin Xuan's joy knew no bounds.
zhè yī huí guǒ rán yǒu le yòng chǔ 。
这一回果然有了用处。
It was a妖丹 (yao dan), a precious treasure formed in the body of an evolved monster.
bàn suí zhe “ kā kā ” de shēng yīn ， zuǒ cè sān chǐ zhī chù lù chū le yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de dì dòng 。
伴随着“咔咔”的声音，左侧三尺之处露出了一个小小的地洞。
Its value was beyond measure; even at the Immortal Mountain Conference, Lin Xuan hadn't seen such things before. Could there be more in the other jade boxes?
jū rán shì jī guān ， lín xuān yī zhèn xiù yǔ ， méi yǒu fǎ lì jìn zhì ， guài bù dé zì jǐ de shén shí jiāng qí yí lòu de guò qù 。
居然是机关，林轩一阵秀语，没有法力禁制，怪不得自己的神识将其遗漏的过去。
Lin Xuan opened them and indeed found two differently colored yao dans, both from evolved monsters. This was a bountiful harvest. "Young Master, qilin is also a type of monster; why would he collect yao dans?" Moon asked curiously.
dì dòng bìng bù shēn ， lǐ miàn fàng zhe sān gè yù hé ， biǎo miàn hái tiē yǒu fēng yìn fú zhuàn ， kàn shàng qù sì hū shì mǒu zhǒng guì zhòng zhī wù 。
地洞并不深，里面放着三个玉盒，表面还贴有封印符篆，看上去似乎是某种贵重之物。
"It's not strange," Lin Xuan said with a smile. "For certain ancient beasts, high-grade monster souls can also enhance cultivation."
lín xuān yī zhāo shǒu ， jiù fǔ qí zhōng yí gè yù hé xī dào le zhǎng zhōng ， yī kǒu jīng qì pēn chū ， nà fú huáng dùn shí wú fēng zì rán le qǐ lái ， lín xuān zé shén sè bù biàn de jiāng qí dǎ kāi 。
林轩一招手，就府其中一个玉盒吸到了掌中，一口精气喷出，那符簧顿时无风自燃了起来，林轩则神色不变的将其打开。
After carefully searching the treasure room for a while, Lin Xuan found nothing else and then left.
yí gè lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de yuán zhū chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。” zhè shì ，
一个龙眼大小的圆珠出现在了面前。”这是，
Finally, there was only the Fire Cloud Cave.
lín xuān yī dāi ， suí hòu liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn máng rán ， yǒu xiē bù néng zhì xìn de jiāng cǐ yuán zhū ná dào le miàn qián 。
林轩一呆，随后脸上露出几分茫然，有些不能置信的将此圆珠拿到了面前。
Of course, it must contain extremely pure underground fire. Even from outside, Lin Xuan could feel the abundant fire spirit energy in the air.
yī dào fǎ jué dǎ zài shàng miàn 。
一道法诀打在上面。
He took a deep breath and stretched his hand to gently push open the stone door. There was no resistance, and he easily pushed it aside.
líng guāng shǎn le jǐ shǎn ， suí hòu zài yuán zhū de biǎo miàn xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
灵光闪了几闪，随后在圆珠的表面消失不见。
A grand hall appeared before him.
lín xuān dà xǐ ， yòu jiāng zuǒ shǒu tái qǐ ， zhǐ tou shàng rán qǐ le yī lǚ bì yōu yōu de huǒ yàn 。
林轩大喜，又将左手抬起，指头上燃起了一缕碧幽幽的火焰。
Lin Xuan's expression changed as he realized this wasn't what he had imagined. The fire spirit energy in the air didn't seem any more abundant. Lin Xuan felt a bit puzzled.
yuán zhū bèi cǐ huǒ bāo guǒ ， jū rán yī rì chéng shòu dé zhù ， lín xuān zhè huí shì zhēn de dà xǐ le 。
圆珠被此火包裹，居然依日承受得住，林轩这回是真的大喜了。
But soon, his attention was drawn to the ground beneath his feet. He stepped on deep black stone that seemed very hard but was covered with many magical restrictions and seals.
yāo dān ！
妖丹！
Clearly, this was a禁制断 (ban zhi duan)!
ér qiě hái shì sì jí huà xíng qī yāo shòu tǐ nèi suǒ xíng chéng de zhēn guì bǎo wù 。
而且还是四级化形期妖兽体内所形成的珍贵宝物。
Lin Xuan recognized it; he had seen something similar in the Spirit Medicine Mountain Treasure Hall, used by ancient cultivators to gather underground fire. This one was even more complex.
qí jià zhí kě xiǎng ér zhī ， biàn shì yìn shān dà huì lín xuān yě méi yǒu fā xiàn zhè zhǒng dōng xī 。
其价值可想而知，便是印山大会林轩也没有发现这种东西。
Sure enough, there were extremely rich underground fires below.
nán dào qí tā liǎng gè yù hé zhōng yě shì ，
难道其他两个玉盒中也是，
For such an ancient array technique, Lin Xuan wasn't about to be careless or reckless. He began to look around; logically, a control disk should be nearby.
lín xuān jiāng qí dǎ kāi ， guǒ rán yòu yǒu liǎng méi bù tóng yán sè de yāo dān yìng rù yǎn lián ， dōu shì huà xíng qī de bǎo wù ， cǐ cì shōu huò zhēn kě yòng fēng shèng lái xíng róng ” shào yé ， qí lín yě shì yāo zú de yī zhǒng ， tā zěn me huì shōu jí yāo dān ne ？” yuè ér yǒu xiē hào qí de kāi kǒu 。
林轩将其打开，果然又有两枚不同颜色的妖丹映入眼帘，都是化形期的宝物，此次收获真可用丰盛来形容”少爷，麒麟也是妖族的一种，他怎么会收集妖丹呢？”月儿有些好奇的开口。
Lin Xuan didn't have to search long as the disk was directly above his head. Lin Xuan's body emitted a faint green light and he slowly floated up.
“ méi shén me hào qí guài de ， duì yú mǒu xiē shàng gǔ yì shòu ， chú le wǒ men xiū shì de yuán yīng ， gāo jiē yāo dān yě tóng yàng yǒu zēng jìn xiū wèi de xiào guǒ 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“没什么好奇怪的，对于某些上古异兽，除了我们修士的元婴，高阶妖丹也同样有增进修为的效果。”林轩微笑着说。
The ancient secret technique was truly amazing; the array disk integrated seamlessly with the array itself, its inscriptions complex yet beautiful.

随后他又在藏宝室中仔细搜寻了一会儿，再也没有发现其他的东西，然后才退了出去。
Lin Xuan carefully studied it...
zuì hòu biàn zhǐ shèng xià huǒ yún kū
最后便只剩下火云窟
After about an incense stick's time, he sighed in relief. "Young Master, did you understand?" Moon had also learned some techniques but didn't use them as diligently as Lin Xuan. She was now confused.

不用说，里面肯定封印着极为精纯的地脉之火，即便站在外面，林轩也能感觉到空气中所弥漫的充沛的火灵力了。
"I can't say I understood, but with this array disk, we should be able to control it," Lin Xuan said as he cast a spell on the disk.

吸了口气，林轩伸出手，轻轻的在石门上一掀，没有任何阻隔，此门轻而易举的边被他推开了。
However, nothing happened...
yī zuò dà tīng yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
一座大厅映入了眼帘。
Lin Xuan frowned but quickly realized something after looking around. A flash of green light and he was by one side of the hall.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yì wài zhī sè ， zhè yǔ tā xiǎng xiàng de bìng bù xiāng tóng ， kōng qì zhōng de huǒ líng lì sì hū yě méi yǒu zēng jiā shén me ， lín xuān bù yóu de yǒu xiē qí guài le 。
林轩脸上露出意外之色，这与他想象的并不相同，空气中的火灵力似乎也没有增加什么，林轩不由得有些奇怪了。
There were nine indentations, each about the size of an egg.

但没多久，他的结意力就被地面吸引了过去，脚下踩着的是一种深黑色的岩石，看上去非常坚硬的样子，不过却刻有很多禁制与符咒，
He had been too impatient; he forgot to place the crystals here.
xiǎn rán ， zhè shì yī zhǒng duàn jìn **！
显然，这是一种断禁**！
Lin Xuan shook his sleeve and took out nine crystals, placing them in their respective slots before casting another spell. The ground suddenly began to shake violently.
...Dizziness!
As soon as he stepped into the mist, Lin Xuan felt a strange sensation akin to distant teleportation.
However, Lin Xuan knew that he was still in place. This feeling was merely an illusion.
Fortunately, no other attacks were directed at him, and Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief. He focused on his dantian, and the discomfort gradually faded away as the surroundings became blurry before becoming clear again.
Lin Xuan released his divine sense, but a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He had clearly entered an elegant building made of jade, yet now it seemed like he was in a vast ancient cave. "Young Master!"
Moon also looked puzzled, but Lin Xuan quickly regained his composure. This must be some great power of the ancient qilin, not likely to be an illusion. However, what exactly it was, Lin Xuan didn't feel like exploring further.
He began to carefully examine this cave.
The cave was roughly square-shaped, about a hundred feet in each direction, with a narrow passage leading forward. In one corner of the cave, there was a box placed on the ground.
His first task upon arriving here was undoubtedly to find the fire vein, but other treasures were not something Lin Xuan would pass up.
After a moment's hesitation, he stepped towards it.
The box wasn't large, measuring about a foot in length. Its surface was dusty and gray. With a wave of his sleeve, a strong wind blew through, sending dust flying everywhere, revealing the original color of the box.
Iron Mother!
Lin Xuan's expression changed as he realized that this must be an iron mother. Perhaps it had been used to store treasures before its ascension. Even with his composure, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of obtaining such a rare treasure for refining the Heavenly Dust Pill.
Taking several deep breaths, he finally calmed down.
However, Lin Xuan wouldn't enter rashly. The refinement of the Heavenly Dust Pill wasn't something that could be done overnight. He decided to explore other parts of the cave first.
The practice room was empty, as expected. Before entering the treasure vault, Lin Xuan had already asked the Corpse Demon to scout around and ensure there were no dangers before he entered himself.
Inside, the furnishings were simple. There were three tiers of wooden racks, but it wasn't clear what kind of wood they were made from; despite the passage of time, they hadn't been corroded.
Lin Xuan's interest piqued, but after a thorough inspection, he was disappointed. The wood seemed to have undergone some processing, but Lin Xuan couldn't discern the specific techniques used.
It wasn't surprising. Qilin were ancient beasts that had even ascended to the realm of spirits. While Lin Xuan was no slouch in terms of power, there was still a vast gap between him and such creatures.
Apart from preservation, it seemed they served no other purpose. The wooden racks were empty except for a few pieces of spirit artifacts and an emerald cylinder.
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead with a wry smile.
Perhaps the qilin had indeed stored many treasures here before its ascension, but most likely all valuable items had been taken along.
Spirit artifacts?
They meant nothing to a wealthy individual like Lin Xuan. Nevertheless, out of caution, he still inspected them and found no special uses, then put them away in his storage bag. His storage bag was a treasure itself, far larger than those of other cultivators by several dozen times.
There seemed to be nothing else in the cave.
Lin Xuan felt puzzled. After all, this was the qilin's lair; such discoveries were too meager for a place like this.
Moreover, three ancient treasures had been openly displayed in the main hall, but only a few spirit artifacts remained in the treasure vault.
Something must have been overlooked!
With that thought, Lin Xuan released his divine sense and began to search carefully. However, he found nothing.
A flash of white light revealed Moon's appearance as she joined the search team.
After several cups of tea, Moon called out, "Young Master, look! What is this?"
Hearing Moon's exclamation, Lin Xuan followed her voice. In one corner of the cave, there was a round stone that looked like a ripe apple, roughly the size of his fist. "What?" Lin Xuan didn't see anything unusual about it.
"Use your spirit eye technique, Young Master," Moon suggested with a smile.
Lin Xuan was taken aback. Spirit Eye Technique was almost considered an introductory skill for cultivators; its primary use was to enhance vision or penetrate thin mists. He hadn't used it much since his foundation completion.
But there must be a reason why Moon suggested this, so Lin Xuan slowly infused his qi into his eyes.
"Ah?"
The surroundings remained unchanged, but the fist-sized stone emitted a faint white light.
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed as he didn't think about the cause. He wrapped his hand in a layer of spiritual light and grasped the stone.
He lifted it gently; it was immovable. After some thought, Lin Xuan began to rotate his hand left and right.
This time, something useful happened.
With "clicking" sounds, a small hole appeared three feet to the left.
It was clearly an机关 (mechanism). Lin Xuan chuckled. Without any magical restrictions or divine sense detection, it wasn't surprising that he had overlooked this mechanism.
The hole wasn't deep; inside were three jade boxes with seals and inscriptions, suggesting they contained something valuable.
Lin Xuan waved his hand to summon one of the jade boxes, which appeared in his palm. He exhaled a breath of qi, igniting the seal without any wind. Lin Xuan opened it calmly.
A round bead about the size of a dragon's eye appeared before him. "This is...
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then looked puzzled as he brought the bead closer to examine it more closely.
He cast a spell on it.
The spiritual light flickered and then disappeared from the surface of the bead.
Lin Xuan was delighted. He raised his left hand, igniting a green flame on his finger.
The bead remained unharmed by this fire, and Lin Xuan's joy knew no bounds.
It was a妖丹 (yao dan), a precious treasure formed in the body of an evolved monster.
Its value was beyond measure; even at the Immortal Mountain Conference, Lin Xuan hadn't seen such things before. Could there be more in the other jade boxes?
Lin Xuan opened them and indeed found two differently colored yao dans, both from evolved monsters. This was a bountiful harvest. "Young Master, qilin is also a type of monster; why would he collect yao dans?" Moon asked curiously.
"It's not strange," Lin Xuan said with a smile. "For certain ancient beasts, high-grade monster souls can also enhance cultivation."
After carefully searching the treasure room for a while, Lin Xuan found nothing else and then left.
Finally, there was only the Fire Cloud Cave.
Of course, it must contain extremely pure underground fire. Even from outside, Lin Xuan could feel the abundant fire spirit energy in the air.
He took a deep breath and stretched his hand to gently push open the stone door. There was no resistance, and he easily pushed it aside.
A grand hall appeared before him.
Lin Xuan's expression changed as he realized this wasn't what he had imagined. The fire spirit energy in the air didn't seem any more abundant. Lin Xuan felt a bit puzzled.
But soon, his attention was drawn to the ground beneath his feet. He stepped on deep black stone that seemed very hard but was covered with many magical restrictions and seals.
Clearly, this was a禁制断 (ban zhi duan)!
Lin Xuan recognized it; he had seen something similar in the Spirit Medicine Mountain Treasure Hall, used by ancient cultivators to gather underground fire. This one was even more complex.
Sure enough, there were extremely rich underground fires below.
For such an ancient array technique, Lin Xuan wasn't about to be careless or reckless. He began to look around; logically, a control disk should be nearby.
Lin Xuan didn't have to search long as the disk was directly above his head. Lin Xuan's body emitted a faint green light and he slowly floated up.
The ancient secret technique was truly amazing; the array disk integrated seamlessly with the array itself, its inscriptions complex yet beautiful.
Lin Xuan carefully studied it...
After about an incense stick's time, he sighed in relief. "Young Master, did you understand?" Moon had also learned some techniques but didn't use them as diligently as Lin Xuan. She was now confused.
"I can't say I understood, but with this array disk, we should be able to control it," Lin Xuan said as he cast a spell on the disk.
However, nothing happened...
Lin Xuan frowned but quickly realized something after looking around. A flash of green light and he was by one side of the hall.
