běi nǚ cóng wài biǎo bo kàn qù ， bù guò shí qī bā suì nián jì ， diào fēi qīng guó qīng chéng de ba fán měi nǚ 。 dàn yě xiù lì yǐ jí ， hún shēn shàng xià ， gèng shì tòu chū yī gǔ zhōng líng zhī qì 。
北女从外表卜看去，不过十七八岁年纪，吊非倾国倾城的吧凡美女。但也秀丽以极，浑身上下，更是透出一股钟灵之气。
The northern girl, though only in her late teens or early twenties by appearance, was not a beauty to make the nation weep. Yet she was extraordinarily beautiful, exuding an aura of refined elegance.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū le jǐ fēn xiào róng 。
林轩点了点头，脸上不由得露出了几分笑容。
Lin Xuan nodded, his face breaking into a smile.
rán ér wǔ yún ér què xià dé hún shēn dǒu 。
然而武云儿却吓得浑身抖。
However, Wu Yun'er was so frightened that she trembled all over. Just moments ago, Lin Xuan had been smiling amiably at the two Soul Valley cultivators, making them feel like they were basking in spring breezes. But now he was extracting their souls and refining their spirits with ruthless efficiency.
gāng gāng duì nà liǎng míng lì hún gǔ xiū shì ， lín xuān yě xiān shì hé yán yuè sè ， xiào róng ràng rén rú mù chūn fēng 。 kě zhuǎn yǎn jiān què chōu hún liàn pò 。
刚刚对那两名厉魂谷修士，林轩也先是和颜悦色，笑容让人如沐春风。可转眼间却抽魂炼魄。
The harshness of his methods left a chill down one's spine!
shǒu duàn zhī hěn là ， shí zài shì ràng rén chǐ lěng a ！
手段之狠辣，实在是让人齿冷啊！
Looking at him now, her gaze was filled with an intriguing meaning.
cǐ kè tā kàn xiàng zì jǐ ， nà mù guāng gèng shì nài rén xún wèi yǐ jí 。
此刻他看像自己，那目光更是耐人寻味以极。
Could it be...
nán dào kuàng …
难道况…
Wu Yun'er knew she wasn't unattractive. So she began to daydream.
wǔ yún ér yě zhī dào zì jǐ zī sè bù sú 。 bù yóu de kāi shǐ hú sī luàn xiǎng le 。
武云儿也知道自己姿色不俗。不由得开始胡思乱想了。
She had heard that some old monsters in the元婴 stage often forcibly took young and beautiful female cultivators as their鼎炉.
tīng shuō yī xiē yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù ， jīng cháng qiáng qiǎng nián qīng měi mào de nǚ xiū zuò wèi dǐng lú 。
听说一些元婴期老怪物，经常强抢年轻美貌的女修做为鼎炉。
Thinking of the terrifying life described, poor Wu Yun'er was on the verge of fainting. But her master was a great figure, so according to the saying "a teacher's disciple is like him," she forced herself not to run away, knowing that would only anger this old monster.
yī xiǎng qǐ chuán gāng zhōng nà kě pà de shēng huó 。 kě lián wǔ yún ér yǐ kuài yào yūn dǎo le ， dàn tā shī fù bì jìng shì yī liǎo bù qǐ de rén wù ， sú huà shuō ， yǒu qí shī bì yǒu qí tú ， wǔ yún ér qiáng rěn zhù zhuǎn shēn táo zǒu de niàn tou ， yīn wèi nà jué bù kě néng chéng gōng 。 fǎn ér huì jī nù yǎn qián de lǎo guài wù 。
一想起传刚中那可怕的生活。可怜武云儿已快要晕倒了，但她师傅毕竟是一了不起的人物，俗话说，有其师必有其徒，武云儿强忍住转身逃走的念头，因为那绝不可能成功。反而会激怒眼前的老怪物。
A sweet smile spread across her face as she said, "I come from Yunzhou and entered my master’s door twenty years ago with my skills. By then, I was already at the后期筑基 stage."
xiān xiǎng bàn fǎ jiāng tā wěn zhù 。
先想办法将他稳住。
"Ah, I see," Lin Xuan nodded. This explained why she could condense a golden core in such a short time—less than a century since entering the immortal path.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， wǔ yún ér qiáng rěn huáng kǒng 。 yíng yíng yī fú ：“ wǎn bèi wǔ yún ér jiàn guò qián bèi ， duō xiè nín jiù mìng zhī rěn …”
念及至此，武云儿强忍惶恐。盈盈一福：“晚辈武云儿见过前辈，多谢您救命之忍…”
Though her资质was good, it couldn't compare to someone like the Hundred Poison Divine Monarch, who was a natural freak.
lín xuān yīn wèi zhà jiàn gù rén zhī wù ， yǒu xiē shī tài 。 hòu lái kàn jiàn cǐ nǚ hài pà de biǎo qíng ， tóng xīn dà qǐ ， biàn cún le zhuō nòng de niàn tou 。
林轩因为乍见故人之物，有些失态。后来看见此女害怕的表情，童心大起，便存了捉弄的念头。
Moreover, her Sound Wave Skill wasn't fully mastered, which is why she had resorted to other treasures when facing an attack earlier.
dàn wán xiào bù néng tài guò huǒ ， fǒu zé yǐ hòu jiàn dào ōu yáng kě jiù yǒu xiē qiàn yì le 。
但玩笑不能太过火，否则以后见到欧阳可就有些歉意了。
"Is Qinxin well?" Lin Xuan's expression softened with concern.
“ chēng bù yòng pà ， wǒ duì nǐ méi yǒu è yì 。” lín xuān shuāng shǒu dào bèi ， wēi xiào zhe kāi kǒu le 。
“称不用怕，我对你没有恶意。”林轩双手倒背，微笑着开口了。
Hearing this, Wu Yun'er pondered deeply. This Lin senior must have a good relationship with her master; otherwise, he wouldn’t call her "Qinxin."
“ qián bèi yán zhòng ， nín duì wǒ yǒu jiù mìng zhī ēn ， wǎn bèi nǎ gǎn cún bù jìng de niàn tou ”
“前辈言重，您对我有救命之恩，晚辈哪敢存不敬的念头”
She nodded respectfully, "My master is well."
shào nǚ huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān yǐ bǎi le bǎi shǒu ：“ bú yòng shuō zhè xiē wú liáo de kè tào zhī yǔ 。 wǒ lái wèn mí ， ōu yáng qín xīn yǔ mí shì shén me guān xì ？”
少女话音未落，林轩已摆了摆手：“不用说这些无聊的客套之语。我来问弥，欧阳琴心与弥是什么关系？”
"Ah, then how is Qinxin’s cultivation? Has she condensed an元婴?"
“ qián bèi rèn shí jiā shī ？” wǔ yún ér xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu sōng le kǒu qì ， duì fāng rú guǒ shì shī zūn de gù rén ， nà yīng gāi bú huì duì zì jǐ bù lì 。
“前辈认识家师？”武云儿先是一呆，随后松了口气，对方如果是师尊的故人，那应该不会对自己不利。
When Lin Xuan first arrived in Yunzhou, Ying'er had told him that over the past few decades, talent was scarce. Qinxin was a top-notch expert, at the peak of the condensation stage and preparing to form an元婴.
“ shī fù ？” lín xuān de liǎn shàng què yī jiù dài zhe yí sè ：“ wǒ jì de lí kāi yōu zhōu yǐ qián ， qín xīn dōu méi yǒu shōu tú de zhè cái bù guò cōng cōng wèi jí bǎi nián ， nǐ rú guǒ shì tā tú ér zěn me kě néng zhè me kuài jiù níng jié chéng le jīn dān ？”
“师父？”林轩的脸上却依旧带着疑色：“我记得离开幽州以前，琴心都没有收徒的这才不过匆匆未及百年，你如果是她徒儿怎么可能这么快就凝结成了金丹？”
Lin Xuan didn't know if she had any immortal pills or elixirs, but with her资质, there was about a 30% chance of success even without them.
“ yōu zhōu ？” wǔ yún ér xiù méi yī tiāo ， liǎn shàng lù chū jīng yà zhī sè ， suí hòu shēn chū qiàn shǒu ， zhǐ zhe lín xuān ：“ qián bèi mò fēi xìng lín ？”
“幽州？”武云儿秀眉一挑，脸上露出惊讶之色，随后伸出纤手，指着林轩：“前辈莫非姓林？”
Don’t underestimate that 30%. In the condensation realm, only one in ten thousand could successfully form an元婴. That was already a very high success rate.
“ chēng zhī dào wǒ ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng le jīng yà zhī sè 。
“称知道我？”林轩脸上了惊讶之色。
"Yes, my master is now one of our sect's senior elders, at the初期元婴 stage."
“ ń ， wǎn bèi céng tīng shī zūn tí qǐ guò 。” wǔ yún ér liǎn shàng suī gōng jìng zhī sè bù jiǎn ， dàn jiāo qū yǐ wán quán fàng sōng xià lái ， suī rán duì yú zhè wèi lín qián bèi yǔ shī zūn jiān de shì qíng bìng bù rú hé qīng chǔ 。 dàn duì fāng yǔ shī zūn jiāo qíng fěi qiǎn shì kěn dìng de ， rú cǐ yī lái zì rán bú huì duì zì jǐ bù lì le 。
“嗯，晚辈曾听师尊提起过。”武云儿脸上虽恭敬之色不减，但娇躯已完全放松下来，虽然对于这位林前辈与师尊间的事情并不如何清楚。但对方与师尊交情匪浅是肯定的，如此一来自然不会对自己不利了。
"Ah," Lin Xuan nodded with a hint of joy on his face. He had intended to ask more about Qinxin’s condition but realized that this place was full of danger and not an ideal location for conversation.
tā liǎn shàng lù chū tián tián de xiào róng ：“ wǎn bèi zǔ jí yún zhōu ， èr shí nián qián nǎi shì dài yì bài zài shī sǎng mén xià de ， nà shí hòu yǐ shì zhù jī hòu qī le 。”
她脸上露出甜甜的笑容：“晚辈祖籍云州，二十年前乃是带艺拜在师嗓门下的，那时候已是筑基后期了。”
He glanced at the female cultivator in front of him, "You are also here to seek treasures. Fine, as your master's disciple, I can't ignore you. Let's go together."
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， zhè jiù nán guài ， fǒu zé cóng tà rù xiān dào suàn qǐ 。 qū qū bú dào bǎi nián jiù néng níng jié jīn dān 。 nà xiū xíng de dù qǐ bù shì bǐ zì jǐ hái yào gèng kuài
“原来如此。”林轩点了点头，这就难怪，否则从踏入仙道算起。区区不到百年就能凝结金丹。那修行的度岂不是比自己还要更快
"Senior, if you're leaving, don’t you want to find ancient immortal relics?" Wu Yun'er looked puzzled.
diǎn 。
点。
"Hmph, what ancient immortal relics? It’s all a trap," Lin Xuan shook his head, "Wu..."
yǎn qián cǐ nǚ de zī zhì suī rán bù cuò ， dàn yě bù kě néng hé bǎi dú shén jūn nà zhǒng nì tiān biàn tài xiāng bǐ de 。
眼前此女的资质虽然不错，但也不可能和百毒神君那种逆天变态相比的。
"You are my master's old friend, so just call me Yun'er," the girl said obediently.
ér qiě tā de yīn bō gōng yě bù chún shú ， fǒu zé xiān qián miàn duì jiā gōng de shí hòu jiù bú huì shǐ yòng bié de fǎ bǎo le 。
而且她的音波功也不纯熟，否则先前面对夹攻的时候就不会使用别的法宝了。
"Alright!" Lin Xuan didn't care about titles. "You've encountered many dangers on your journey here. If I'm not mistaken, this place is a trap set by demons and monsters. There are no ancient immortal relics."
“ qín xīn tā hái hǎo me ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū le dàn dàn de guān xīn zhī sè 。
“琴心她还好么？”林轩脸上露出了淡淡的关心之色。
The girl looked confused but said, "I don’t understand what you're saying, but there really are ancient immortal relics here."
ér zhè jù huà tīng zài wǔ yún ér de ěr lǐ ， yòu bié yǒu le yī fān sī suǒ ， kàn lái zhè wèi lín qián bèi yǔ shī zūn guān xì zhēn de bù cuò ， fǒu zé bú huì qín xīn qín xīn de jiào dé rú cǐ qīn rè 。
而这句话听在武云儿的耳里，又别有了一番思索，看来这位林前辈与师尊关系真的不错，否则不会琴心琴心的叫得如此亲热。
"Really?"
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， tā liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yuè gōng jìng le ：“ shī zūn yī qiè ān hǎo 。”
念及至此，她脸上的表情越恭敬了：“师尊一切安好。”
"Yes, just now, I found a bottle of medicinal pills," she hesitated before reaching into her waistband and showing the jade bottle.
“ ń ， nà xiàn zài qín xīn jìng jiè rú hé ， níng jié yuán yīng chéng gōng le me ？”
“嗯，那现在琴心境界如何，凝结元婴成功了么？”
Lin Xuan's face showed contemplation. He was sure this place was a trap set by demons and monsters, so how could he explain the medicinal pill in Yun'er’s hand?
chū dào yōu zhōu de shí hòu ， lín xuān céng tīng 6 yíng ér shuō guò ， guò qù shù shí nián ， yōu zhōu rén cái diāo líng 。 ōu yáng qín xīn yǐ shì dǐng ér jiān ér de gāo shǒu ， xiū wèi yǐ dào níng dān qī dǐng fēng ， bìng qiě zhǔn bèi níng jié yuán yīng le 。
初到幽州的时候，林轩曾听6盈儿说过，过去数十年，幽州人才凋零。欧阳琴心已是顶儿尖儿的高手，修为已到凝丹期顶峰，并且准备凝结元婴了。
Was it a decoy?
lín xuān bù zhī dào tā shì fǒu yǒu líng dān miào yào kě yǐ fú yòng ， bù guò yǐ ōu yáng de zī zhì ， zhǐ yào pèi shàng shǎo xǔ líng dān ， yīng gāi yě yǒu liǎng sān chéng chéng gōng de bǎ wò 。
林轩不知道她是否有灵丹妙药可以服用，不过以欧阳的资质，只要配上少许灵丹，应该也有两三成成功的把握。
No, Lin Xuan shook his head. The situation didn't seem to fit that theory.
bú yào xiǎo kàn zhè liǎng sān chéng ， xū zhī níng dān qī xiū shì zuì hòu néng gòu jié yīng de ， wàn zhōng wú yī ， zhè yǐ jīng shì fēi cháng gāo de chéng gōng lǜ 。
不要小看这两三成，须知凝丹期修士最后能够结婴的，万中无一，这已经是非常高的成功率。
Or perhaps there really were ancient immortal relics here, as the rumors said? It sounded absurd, but as they say, "No coincidence is without its charm," and this wasn’t impossible.
“ shì ， shī zūn xiàn zài yǐ shì běn pài de tài shàng zhào lǎo zhī yī ， yuán yīng chū qī xiū shì 。”
“是，师尊现在已是本派的太上赵老之一，元婴初期修士。”
"Master, should we go back?" Mo'er's voice came through.
“ ń 。” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng yǐn xiàn xǐ sè ， yuán běn yǒu xīn zài duō wèn yī xiē ōu yáng qín xīn jìn kuàng de ， dàn yǎn qián zhī dì wēi jī sì fú ， xiǎn rán bú shì tán huà de lǐ xiǎng chǎng suǒ 。
“嗯。”林轩点了点头，脸上隐现喜色，原本有心再多问一些欧阳琴心近况的，但眼前之地危机四伏，显然不是谈话的理想场所。
"No."
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， tā kàn le yī yǎn shēn qián de nǚ xiū ：“ mí yě shì lái cǐ xún bǎo de ， yě bà 。 jì shì ōu yáng de dì zǐ ， wǒ yě bù néng bù guǎn bù gù ， nǐ suí wǒ yì qǐ chū qù hǎo le 。”
想到这里，他看了一眼身前的女修：“弥也是来此寻宝的，也罢。既是欧阳的弟子，我也不能不管不顾，你随我一起出去好了。”
Lin Xuan smiled. He had initially planned to return home to avoid falling into a trap, but now with the promise of treasure, it was worth taking the risk.
“ qián bèi yào zǒu ， nín bù xiǎng zhǎo xún gǔ xiū shì de yí bǎo le ？” wǔ yún ér liǎn shàng lù chū gǔ guài zhī sè ， bù jiě de kāi kǒu le 。
“前辈要走，您不想找寻古修士的遗宝了？”武云儿脸上露出古怪之色，不解的开口了。
Demons weren't any stronger than the ancient demon Karo from above?
“ hēng ， shén me gǔ xiū shì yí bǎo ， gēn běn jiù shì yīn móu 。”
“哼，什么古修士遗宝，根本就是阴谋。”
"Good, good, since there are treasures, I'll join in for some fun."
lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ：“ wǔ gū …”
林轩摇了摇头：“武姑…”
"Great, Yun'er will gladly serve you," Wu Yun'er said obediently.
“ qián bèi jì shì jiā shī de gù rén ， chēng hū wǒ yún ér jiù hǎo 。” cǐ nǚ shí fēn guāi qiǎo de kāi
“前辈既是家师的故人，称呼我云儿就好。”此女十分乖巧的开
"You're smart, but if we find treasure, won’t it all be taken by me?" Lin Xuan smiled wryly.
dào 。
道。
"I jest, senior. You are my master's old friend, and I should call you uncle. How could you neglect your nephew? Besides, you saved me, so taking the treasures is only fair," she said with a charming smile.
“ hǎo ba ！” duì yú chēng hū ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì jì jiào ：“ mí yī lù zǒu lái ， nán dào méi yǒu yù jiàn wēi xiǎn ， wǒ ruò méi yǒu liào cuò ， zhè dì fāng 。 gēn běn jiù shì yāo mó suǒ bù xià de yí gè quān tào bà le ， shén me gǔ xiū shì yí bǎo ， gēn běn
“好吧！”对于称呼，林轩自然不会计较：“弥一路走来，难道没有遇见危险，我若没有料错，这地方。根本就是妖魔所布下的一个圈套罢了，什么古修士遗宝，根本
Lin Xuan was speechless. He had faced many cunning and crafty people in his immortal path, but this girl’s eloquence was unparalleled.
shào nǚ tīng dé mǎn liǎn yí huò ， bì jìng zhī dào yāo mó yǐn mì de xiū shì rú jīn yǐ rán bù duō ， lüè yī sī suǒ ， tā cái nà nà de kāi kǒu le ：“ wǎn bèi bù zhī dào qián bèi zài jiǎng shén me ， dàn zhè lǐ zhēn yǒu gǔ xiū shì yí bǎo de 。”
少女听得满脸疑惑，毕竟知道妖魔隐秘的修士如今已然不多，略一思索，她才呐呐的开口了：“晚辈不知道前辈在讲什么，但这里真有古修士遗宝的。”
No wonder her资质was average—Qinxin never took disciples, yet she learned the Sound Wave Skill from her. It must be because of her sharp tongue and flattering skills.
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
Despite knowing it was an attempt to win favor, those two words "uncle" made Lin Xuan feel comfortable.
“ shì zhēn de ， wǎn bèi gāng gāng ， jiù dé dào yī píng dān yào le 。” shuō dào zhè lǐ ， shào nǚ lüè yī chí yí ， suí hòu shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ：“ ruò bú shì wèi le zhè píng líng dān ， gāng gāng nà liǎng míng lì hún gǔ xiū shì yě bú huì jiāng wǒ wéi nán 。”
“是真的，晚辈刚刚，就得到一瓶丹药了。”说到这里，少女略一迟疑，随后伸出手来，在腰间一拍：“若不是为了这瓶灵丹，刚刚那两名厉魂谷修士也不会将我为难。”
But he didn’t show it on his face. "Alright, we don't have time for idle chatter now. This place is full of danger. With treasure involved, let's hurry. I’ve never been to Yunling Mountain before, so you lead the way."
“ ó ？”
“哦？”
"What me?" Wu Yun'er looked surprised.
lín xuān dào zhēn de dà gǎn yì wài ， shēn shǒu jiē guò píng zi ， qīng qīng bá kāi píng sāi ， cóng lǐ miàn dào chū jǐ lì yǒu hēi sè de dān wán 。
林轩倒真的大感意外，伸手接过瓶子，轻轻拔开瓶塞，从里面倒出几粒黝黑色的丹丸。
"Relax, just show the way. If there’s danger, I'll protect you," Lin Xuan said calmly.
yī gǔ xīn là zhī qì pū miàn ér lái ！
一股辛辣之气扑面而来！
"Yes, disciple will follow your instructions," she nodded obediently as red light flashed around her and she carefully flew ahead.
lín bài yòng zhǐ chā niān qǐ yī lì ， fàng dào chún biān 。 qīng qīng yòng shé tou tiǎn le tiǎn 。
林拜用指叉拈起一粒，放到唇边。轻轻用舌头舔了舔。
Uncle, this girl really has a smooth tongue, Lin Xuan thought with a slight smile. He followed behind, the two figures disappearing into the red fog.
“ zhè shì mò yún dān ！”
“这是墨云丹！”
A hundred miles away, the former evil master, now the beloved disciple of the Medicine Palace’s senior elder, clever and cunning Tian Xiaojian, encountered trouble.
The northern girl, though only in her late teens or early twenties by appearance, was not a beauty to make the nation weep. Yet she was extraordinarily beautiful, exuding an aura of refined elegance.
Lin Xuan nodded, his face breaking into a smile.
However, Wu Yun'er was so frightened that she trembled all over. Just moments ago, Lin Xuan had been smiling amiably at the two Soul Valley cultivators, making them feel like they were basking in spring breezes. But now he was extracting their souls and refining their spirits with ruthless efficiency.

Moreover, her Sound Wave Skill wasn't fully mastered, which is why she had resorted to other treasures when facing an attack earlier.
"Is Qinxin well?" Lin Xuan's expression softened with concern.
Hearing this, Wu Yun'er pondered deeply. This Lin senior must have a good relationship with her master; otherwise, he wouldn’t call her "Qinxin."
She nodded respectfully, "My master is well."
"Ah, then how is Qinxin’s cultivation? Has she condensed an元婴?"
