“ bì yǎn dào ， nǐ wǒ xiāng jiāo yě yǒu wàn nián le ba “．
“碧眼道，你我相交也有万年了吧“．
"碧眼道友，我们相识也有万年了吧？"
“ bù cuò 。” bì yǎn lǎo zǔ le tóu ， liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī jīng yí zhī sè ， bù míng bái duì fāng tū rán zhè me shuō ， yǒu hé yòng yì zài lǐ tou 。
“不错。”碧眼老祖了头，脸上闪过一丝惊疑之色，不明白对方突然这么说，有何用意在里头。
"Not bad," replied the Elder with the green eyes, a hint of puzzlement flashing across his face. He was unsure about the purpose behind this sudden statement.
“ jì rán rú cǐ ， nǐ yòu hé bì yī zài chū yán shì tàn yú wǒ ， nán dào dào jiù zhēn de gān xīn kàn zhe xuě hú zú yī jiā dú dà me ？” dú jiāo wáng mǎn hán nù sè 。
“既然如此，你又何必一再出言试探于我，难道道就真的甘心看着雪狐族一家独大么？”毒蛟王满含怒色。
"Since that's the case, why do you keep probing me? Don't you think it's unfair to let the Snow Fox Clan dominate everything?" said the Demon Serpent King with anger in his voice.
bì yǎn lǎo zǔ zhōng yú yě xiàn rù le chén jiù ， zú zú guò le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu 。
碧眼老祖终于也陷入了沉就，足足过了一盏茶的功夫。
The Elder finally fell into deep thought for a moment, lasting as long as a cup of tea.
“ hǎo ba ， míng rén bù shuō àn huà ， dú jiāo xiōng yì yù rú hé ？”
“好吧，明人不说暗话，毒蛟兄意欲如何？”
"Alright, let’s be straightforward. Brother Serpent, what do you intend?"
“ duō ， yuán běn zài zhè yāo líng dǎo ， nǐ wǒ hái yǒu xuě hú wáng ， yí xiàng sān zú dǐng lì ， kě rú jīn duō chū le nà sān tiáo wěi ba de xiǎo yā tou ， nǐ dāng shù bǎi zài hòu ， nǐ wǒ hái néng xiàng jīn tiān zhè me xiāo yáo me ？”
“多，原本在这妖灵岛，你我还有雪狐王，一向三足鼎立，可如今多出了那三条尾巴的小丫头，你当数百载后，你我还能像今天这么逍遥么？”
"There are too many of us. Originally, on this妖灵 Island, we three—myself, the Snow Fox King, and you—were in balance. But now with that little girl with three tails, can we still enjoy our freedom after a thousand years?"
bì yǎn lǎo zǔ yī jiù chén jiù ， dú jiāo wáng àn mà le yī shēng le “ lǎo huá tóu ” rán hòu cái jiē zhe wǎng xià shuō ：“ rú jīn xiǎo gōng zhǔ zǒu shī ， duì yú nǐ wǒ lái shuō ， zhè kě shì qiān zài nán tòu ， rú guǒ wǒ men néng gòu chèn jī jiāng tā “……”
碧眼老祖依旧沉就，毒蛟王暗骂了一声了“老滑头”然后才接着往下说：“如今小公主走失，对于你我来说，这可是千载难透，如果我们能够趁机将她“……”
The Elder remained silent for a while, then said under his breath, "Old fox, you're really slick." He continued, "Now that the young princess has gone missing, this is an opportunity we cannot miss. If we could find her..."
“ jiāo xiōng de dǎ suàn bù cuò ， kě nǐ jiù bù pà xuě hú yī zú shì hòu bào fù ？”
“蛟兄的打算不错，可你就不怕雪狐一族事后报复？”
"The plan sounds good, but are you not afraid of retaliation from the Snow Fox Clan?"
， bào fù ？ hēng ， zhè jiàn shì qíng ， wǒ men zì rán shì tōu fèn de zuò ， zhǐ yào méi yǒu bǎ bǐng ， xuě hú wáng yòu néng rú hé ， bì jìng wǒ men de shì lì kě shì bàn jīn bā liǎng ， mào rán jiāo wù ， duì shéi dōu méi yǒu hǎo chù ， zěn me yàng ， bì yǎn xiōng ， yǒu méi yǒu xìng qù yǔ zài xià lián shǒu ？” dú jiāo wáng xié xiào zhe kāi kǒu 。
，报复？哼，这件事情，我们自然是偷份的做，只要没有把柄，雪狐王又能如何，毕竟我们的势力可是半斤八两，冒然交恶，对谁都没有好处，怎么样，碧眼兄，有没有兴趣与在下联手？”毒蛟王邪笑着开口。
"Retaliation? Hmph. We’ll do our part in the background. As long as there’s no evidence, what can the Snow Fox King do? Our power is evenly matched; starting a conflict would be bad for everyone. What do you say, Elder Brother, are you interested in joining forces with me?" The Demon Serpent King said with a wicked smile.
“ hē hē ， jiāo xiōng jiāng zhè me zhòng yào de shì qíng dōu tǎn chéng gōng ， zōu mǒu yòu nǎ hái yǒu jù jué de lǐ yóu ， xíng ， wǒ huì fēn fù xià qù ， tōu tōu xún zhǎo nà xiǎo yā tou de zōng jì 。”
“呵呵，蛟兄将这么重要的事情都坦诚公，邹某又哪还有拒绝的理由，行，我会吩咐下去，偷偷寻找那小丫头的踪迹。”
"Haha, Brother Serpent, you’re so open about this important matter that I have no reason to refuse. Fine, I’ll instruct my subordinates to secretly search for the girl’s whereabouts."
tīng bì yǎn lǎo zǔ zhè me shuō ， dú jiāo wáng de liǎn shàng zhōng yú lù chū le mǎn yì zhī sè ：“ dào zhè me xiǎng jiù duì le ， nǐ wǒ hé zuò ， chéng gōng de jī lǜ yě yào dà dé duō ， bì jìng zài zhè bīng mò huāng yuán ， xuě hú yī zú kě shì dì tóu shé ， rén lì wù lì ， dōu yuǎn fēi nǐ wǒ dān dú kě bǐ 。”
听碧眼老祖这么说，毒蛟王的脸上终于露出了满意之色：“道这么想就对了，你我合作，成功的几率也要大得多，毕竟在这冰漠荒原，雪狐一族可是地头蛇，人力物力，都远非你我单独可比。”
Hearing this, the Demon Serpent King finally showed satisfaction on his face. "That's right, cooperation will increase our chances of success. In this frozen wasteland, the Snow Fox Clan is like a local power; we can’t match their resources alone."
“ dú jiāo xiōng shuō dé sūn gōng ， dàn zhè xiē shì qíng ， yě zhǐ néng jiāo gěi xià miàn de rén qù zuò ， zhì yú nǐ wǒ ， hái yào qù cān jiā xuě hú zú jù huì de 。”
“毒蛟兄说得孙弓，但这些事情，也只能交给下面的人去做，至于你我，还要去参加雪狐族聚会的。”
"But these matters must be left to my subordinates," said Lin Xuan. "We still need to attend the Snow Fox Clan’s gathering."
“ hē hē ， nǚ ér shī zōng ， wǒ men nà wèi lǎo péng yí dìng yǐ jí dé fēng ， kě zài rén qián ， kě hái bù dé bù zhuāng chū yī huì shén me yě méi yǒu shēng guò de miàn róng ， dú mǒu dǎo shì hěn xiǎng xīn shǎng yī xià de 。”
“呵呵，女儿失踪，我们那位老朋一定已急得疯，可在人前，可还不得不装出一惠什么也没有生过的面容，毒某倒是很想欣赏一下的。”
"Haha, our old friend must be frantic with worry about his daughter's disappearance. But in public, he has to pretend nothing happened. I’m looking forward to seeing that."
liǎng gè ， lǎo guài wù chāng kuáng de dà xiào ， rán hòu gè zì huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， xiāo shī zài le màn tiān de fēng xuě zhī zhōng 。
两个，老怪物猖狂的大笑，然后各自化为一道惊虹，消失在了漫天的风雪之中。
The two ancient beings laughed wildly and vanished into the swirling snow.
shān yǔ yù lái fēng mǎn lóu ， zhè xuě yù huāng yuán yǐ shì àn cháo yǒng dòng ， dāng rán ， zhè yī qiè yǔ lín xuān dōu méi yǒu duō dà guān xì ， rú jīn duì tā lái shuō ， méi yǒu shén me shì qíng bǐ liàn zhì tiān chén dān gèng zhòng yào de le 。
山雨欲来风满楼，这雪域荒原已是暗潮涌动，当然，这一切与林轩都没有多大关系，如今对他来说，没有什么事情比炼制天尘丹更重要的了。
Storms were brewing on the horizon, but this frozen wasteland was already teeming with hidden currents. However, none of this mattered much to Lin Xuan; what was more important for him now was refining the Heavenly Dust Pill.
lín xuān xiǎo xīn cāo kòng zhe dì huǒ ， suī shuō tā yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi ， dàn tí chún de qián tí yě bì xū shì yào yǒu fèi dān ， ér rú guǒ bù néng jiāng gè zhǒng tiān cái dì bǎo wán měi róng hé ， kě shì lián fèi dān yě méi yǐng ér de ， suǒ yǐ zhè sī háo bù néng suàn shì yī xiàng qīng sōng de gōng zuò 。
林轩小心操控着地火，虽说他有蓝色星海，但提纯的前提也必须是要有废丹，而如果不能将各种天材地宝完美融合，可是连废丹也没影儿的，所以这丝毫不能算是一项轻松的工作。
Lin Xuan carefully controlled the earth fire, though he had the Blue Star Sea, purifying required waste pills as a base. If he couldn’t perfectly blend all the celestial and terrestrial treasures, there would be no chance of producing even a waste pill. So this wasn't an easy task at all.
hǎo zài jīng guò le zhè me duō nián de mó liàn ， lín xuān de liàn dān shù suī bù néng shuō yǒu rú hé de liǎo bù qǐ ， dàn yě yǒu yí dìng de zào yì ， zhǐ shì zhè zhǒng chéng dù de róng hé ， duì tā lái shuō bù suàn shén me 。
好在经过了这么多年的磨练，林轩的炼丹术虽不能说有如何的了不起，但也有一定的造诣，只是这种程度的融合，对他来说不算什么。
Fortunately, after years of practice, Lin Xuan's alchemy skills were not negligible. This level of fusion was nothing to him.
shí xún màn màn liú shì ， qī qī sì shí jiǔ tiān bù guò yī huǎng ér guò ， jīn tiān jiù shì dān chéng de rì zi ， rán ér lín xuān de liǎn shàng què háo wú xǐ sè ， pí juàn zhī zhōng ， yǐn yǐn tòu chū jǐ fēn jiāo lǜ lái le 。
时旬慢慢流逝，七七四十九天不过一晃而过，今天就是丹成的日子，然而林轩的脸上却毫无喜色，疲倦之中，隐隐透出几分焦虑来了。
Days passed slowly; forty-nine days went by in the blink of an eye. Today was the day the pill would be completed. However, Lin Xuan’s face showed no joy; he looked tired and anxious.
“ shào yé ， zěn me le ， zhè dān hěn nán liàn me ？” yuè ér guān xīn de kāi kǒu 。
“少爷，怎么了，这丹很难炼么？”月儿关心的开口。
"Master, what’s wrong? Is it hard to refine this pill?" Moon asked with concern.
xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， yǐ tā shén shí zhī qiáng ， shì kě yǐ zuò dào yī biān yǔ yuè ér duì huà ， yī biān kòng zhì lú huǒ 。
轩摇了摇头，以他神识之强，是可以做到一边与月儿对话，一边控制炉火。
Lin Xuan shook his head. With such a strong divine sense, he could control the fire while talking to Moon.
， nà nǐ gàn má chóu méi kǔ liǎn de ？” xiǎo yā tou rěn bú zhù jiāng kě ài de bí zi zhòu le zhòu 。
，那你干嘛愁眉苦脸的？”小丫头忍不住将可爱的鼻子皱了皱。
"Why are you so worried then?" the little girl wrinkled her nose.
“ bú shì tiān chén dān liàn zhì tài nán ， ér shì zhè dì huǒ de wēn dù bù gòu 。” lín xuān tūn le yī kǒu tuò mò ， mǎn liǎn yù mèn de kāi kǒu 。
“不是天尘丹炼制太难，而是这地火的温度不够。”林轩吞了一口唾沫，满脸郁闷的开口。
"It's not that refining the Heavenly Dust Pill is too difficult; it’s just that the temperature of this earth fire isn’t enough," Lin Xuan swallowed and said with a depressed expression.
“ shén me ， dì huǒ wēn dù bù gòu ， shào yé ， zhè bú shì jí pǐn huǒ mài me ？” yuè ér liǎn shàng ， mǎn shì nán yǐ zhì xìn zhī sè 。
“什么，地火温度不够，少爷，这不是极品火脉么？”月儿脸上，满是难以置信之色。
"What? The earth fire isn't hot enough, Master? Isn't this supposed to be an excellent fire vein?" Moon’s face showed disbelief.
， āi ！” lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， shuō qǐ zhè shì lái tā yě yù mèn bù yǐ ， yuán běn yǐ wéi qí lín nǎi shì mán huāng yì zhǒng ， xī suǒ xuǎn de huǒ mài yīng gāi mǎn zú liàn zhì tiān chén dān de yāo qiú ， nǎ zhī dào hái shì shāo wēi chà le nà me yī de 。
，唉！”林轩叹了口气，说起这事来他也郁闷不已，原本以为麒麟乃是蛮荒异种，牺所选的火脉应该满足炼制天尘丹的要求，哪知道还是稍微差了那么一的。
"Ugh!" Lin Xuan sighed. He was frustrated because he had thought the Qilin was from a wild region, so its chosen fire vein should meet the requirements for refining the Heavenly Dust Pill. Yet it still fell short by a small margin.
gāng kāi shǐ de shí hòu ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu xiàn xiá cī ， liàn dān yī qiè shùn lì ， rán ér yǎn kàn jìn rù le zuì hòu de róng hé ， tā què xiàn dì huǒ de wēn dù jìng rán bù gòu lín xuān xīn zhōng de yù mèn kě xiǎng ér zhī ， suī shuō hǎo shì duō mó ， kě zì jǐ jīng lì de bō zhé yě wèi miǎn tài duō 。
刚开始的时候，林轩并没有现瑕疵，炼丹一切顺利，然而眼看进入了最后的融合，他却现地火的温度竟然不够林轩心中的郁闷可想而知，虽说好事多磨，可自己经历的波折也未免太多。
At first, Lin Xuan didn’t notice any flaws; everything went smoothly in his alchemy process. But as he approached the final fusion stage, he realized that the earth fire’s temperature was insufficient. His frustration was obvious. While good things take time, his experiences were too many.
dāng rán le ， lín xuān yě míng bái bào yuàn méi yǒu yòng tú ， yǎn kàn liàn dān yǐ dào le zuì guān jiàn de shí kè ， tā kě bù yuàn yì zài cǐ shí gōng kuī yī kuì le 。
当然了，林轩也明白抱怨没有用途，眼看炼丹已到了最关键的时刻，他可不愿意在此时功亏一篑了。
Of course, Lin Xuan knew complaining wouldn't help. With the critical moment of refining approaching, he didn’t want to fail at this crucial point.
bì xū xiǎng bàn fǎ tí gāo dì huǒ de wēn dù ！
必须想办法提高地火的温度！
He had to find a way to increase the temperature of the earth fire!
lüè yī chóu chú ， lín xuān huǎn huǎn yòng shàng le shuāng móu ， líng guāng yī shǎn ， nà hēi sè de yīng ér yǐ chū xiàn zài le tā de tóu dǐng shàng miàn 。
略一踌躇，林轩缓缓用上了双眸，灵光一闪，那黑色的婴儿已出现在了他的头顶上面。
After some hesitation, Lin Xuan slowly closed both eyes, and a flash of spiritual light appeared above his head. The little black baby was serious as it opened its mouth, expelling a thin stream of infant fire.
xiǎo jiā huo de biǎo qíng yě hěn yán sù ， èr huà bù shuō de zhāng kāi kǒu ， yī lǚ xì xì de yīng huǒ cóng zuǐ zhōng pēn chū 。
小家伙的表情也很严肃，二话不说的张开口，一缕细细的婴火从嘴中喷出。
Since the final steps wouldn’t take long, he decided to use this method to increase the earth fire’s temperature.
fǎn zhèng zuì hòu de bù zhòu yě chí xù bù liǎo duō jiǔ ， lín xuān dǎ suàn yòng zhè zhǒng fāng fǎ ràng dì huǒ de wēn dù tí gāo 。
反正最后的步骤也持续不了多久，林轩打算用这种方法让地火的温度提高。
Sss…, the black infant fire reached the bottom of the cauldron and quickly began fusing with the earth fire. Lin Xuan carefully controlled it; the flame turned a strange purple color as its temperature increased.
sī …”， hēi sè de yīng huǒ lái dào dǐng lú de dǐ bù ， hěn kuài yǔ dì huǒ kāi shǐ le róng hé ， lín xuān xiǎo xīn cāo kòng zhe ， huǒ yàn yī zhèn huàng yōu ， biàn chéng le guǐ yì de zǐ sè 。
嘶…”，黑色的婴火来到鼎炉的底部，很快与地火开始了融合，林轩小心操控着，火焰一阵晃悠，变成了诡异的紫色。
The baby’s expression was very satisfied.
wēn dù yě tí gāo le yī xiē ， yuán yīng de biǎo qíng shí fēn mǎn yì 。
温度也提高了一些，元婴的表情十分满意。
A flash of spiritual light returned to Lin Xuan's body.
líng guāng yī shǎn ， chóng xīn huí dào le lín xuān de shēn tǐ lǐ miàn 。
灵光一闪，重新回到了林轩的身体里面。
Another cup of tea passed, but his expression remained grim. It still wasn’t enough; the temperature was insufficient.
zhuǎn yǎn yòu guò qù le yī zhǎn chá de shí xún ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng zài cì biàn dé nán kàn èr hái shì bù xíng ， wēn dù yī jiù bù gòu 。
转眼又过去了一盏茶的时旬，林轩的表情再次变得难看二还是不行，温度依旧不够。
What could be causing this? Lin Xuan didn’t believe that the mountain within the mountain had a higher temperature than the purple flame before him. Was there another hidden factor at play? But the recipe for the Heavenly Dust Pill mentioned nothing about it… His face fell.
zhè shì zěn me huí shì ， lín xuān kě bù xiāng xìn shān zhōng zhī shān de wēn dù néng gòu bǐ yǎn qián zǐ sè de huǒ yàn gèng gāo ， nán dào hái yǒu bié de xuán jī zài lǐ tou ， kě tiān chén dān de pèi fāng zhōng suī yǒu zǔ shī yé de bǐ jì ， guān yú zhè yī què méi yǒu sī háo tí jí ， yī …… yī lín xuān de liǎn sè kuǎ le xià qù 。
这是怎么回事，林轩可不相信山中之山的温度能够比眼前紫色的火焰更高，难道还有别的玄机在里头，可天尘丹的配方中虽有祖师爷的笔记，关于这一却没有丝毫提及，一……一林轩的脸色垮了下去。
If he couldn’t come up with a solution soon, his current attempt would fail. Without perfect fusion of all materials, refining was impossible.
rú guǒ bù gǎn kuài xiǎng chū jiě jué de zhǔ yì ， cǐ cì liàn dān jiù yào gōng kuī yī kuì le ， gè zhǒng cái liào méi yǒu wán měi róng hé biàn shì xiǎng yào tí chún yě wú cóng zhuó shǒu 。
如果不赶快想出解决的主意，此次炼丹就要功亏一篑了，各种材料没有完美融合便是想要提纯也无从着手。
The situation was dire; even Lin Xuan’s composure wavered as he scratched his head frantically.
qíng kuàng de wēi jí kě xiǎng ér zhī ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ yě bù yóu de bó rán biàn sè ， shēn chū shǒu lái bù tíng de náo tóu 。
情况的危急可想而知，即便以林轩的城府也不由得勃然变色，伸出手来不停的挠头。
Having used the infant fire, what else could be used to increase the flame's temperature?
lián yīng huǒ yě shǐ yòng le ， hái yǒu shén me kě yǐ yòng lái tí gāo huǒ yàn de wēn dù ？
连婴火也使用了，还有什么可以用来提高火焰的温度？
After some time, Lin Xuan suddenly brightened, seemingly remembering something. However, his expression was hesitant, like a chess player unsure of their next move.
yòu guò piàn kè ， lín xuān tū rán méi shāo yī dòng ， sì hū xiǎng qǐ shén me zhǔ yì lái le ， rán ér biǎo qíng yòu yǒu xiē yóu yù ， yī fù jǔ qí bù dìng de yàng zi 。
又过片刻，林轩突然眉梢一动，似乎想起什么主意来了，然而表情又有些犹豫，一副举棋不定的样子。
Moon was confused; with alchemy being the top priority, did Master have something he couldn’t bear to part with?
yuè ér xīn zhōng dà qí ， rú jīn liàn dān shì dì yī yào wù ， nán dào shào yé hái yǒu shén me shě bù dé ？
月儿心中大奇，如今炼丹是第一要务，难道少爷还有什么舍不得？
"Do you need my help?" the little girl asked tentatively.
， kě shì xū yào xiǎo bì bāng máng me ？” xiǎo yā tou shì tàn zhe kāi kǒu 。
，可是需要小婢帮忙么？”小丫头试探着开口。
Lin Xuan shook his head and finally reached into his storage bag. A bright red object appeared in his hand.
lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， zhōng yú shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， shǒu zhōng duō chū le yī hóng guāng yào mù de dōng xī lái 。
林轩摇了摇头，终于伸出手来，在储物袋上一拍，手中多出了一红光耀目的东西来。
Crystal!
jīng shí ！
晶石！
But it was slightly smaller than a regular crystal, shaped like a date kernel. It was wrapped in a layer of crimson light, and holding it felt strangely warm.
rán ér bǐ pǔ tōng de jīng shí yòu yào shāo wēi xiǎo yī xiē ， xíng zhuàng yǒu rú zǎo hé ， biǎo miàn bèi yī céng chì hóng sè de guāng yùn bāo guǒ ， wò zài shǒu zhōng ， yǒu yī zhǒng fēi cháng qí yì de wēn nuǎn de gǎn jué 。
然而比普通的晶石又要稍微小一些，形状有如枣核，表面被一层赤红色的光晕包裹，握在手中，有一种非常奇异的温暖的感觉。
Though the piece was small, its蕴含的灵力浩瀚如海。不用说，此物在人界极为稀有，是林轩用长生丹从Demon Serpent King手中换来的。未完待续，
míng míng zhǐ yǒu nà me dà de yī kuài ， kě lǐ miàn suǒ yùn hán de líng lì què hào hàn rú hǎi ， bú yòng shuō ， cǐ wù zài rén jiè nǎi shì jí qí xī yǒu de bǎo wù ， nǎi shì lín xuān yòng cháng shēng dān cóng dú jiāo wáng de shǒu zhōng huàn dé 。 wèi wán dài xù ，
明明只有那么大的一块，可里面所蕴含的灵力却浩瀚如海，不用说，此物在人界乃是极其稀有的宝物，乃是林轩用长生丹从毒蛟王的手中换得。未完待续，

"碧眼道友，我们相识也有万年了吧？"
"Not bad," replied the Elder with the green eyes, a hint of puzzlement flashing across his face. He was unsure about the purpose behind this sudden statement.

"Alright, let’s be straightforward. Brother Serpent, what do you intend?"
"There are too many of us. Originally, on this妖灵 Island, we three—myself, the Snow Fox King, and you—were in balance. But now with that little girl with three tails, can we still enjoy our freedom after a thousand years?"
