“ wǒ bàn shì ， zōng zhǔ nǐ fàng xīn 。” fāng zài jì pāi zhe xiōng pú bǎo zhèng dào 。
“我办事，宗主你放心。”方再济拍着胸脯保证道。
"I handle the affairs, and the sect leader can rest assured," Fang Zaiji assured with a confident pat on his chest.
“ wǒ de yǎn guāng kě bǐ lǎo liǔ tā hǎo duō le ， jué bú huì kàn zǒu yǎn 。 wǒ gǎn dǎ dǔ ， zhè xiē xiǎo jiā huo ， wú yī bú shì wàn lǐ tiāo yī de xiū xíng qí cái 。”
“我的眼光可比老柳他好多了，绝不会看走眼。我敢打赌，这些小家伙，无一不是万里挑一的修行奇才。”
"My vision is much better than Old Liu's. I wouldn't make such a mistake in identifying talent. I dare to bet that not one of these little fellows isn’t an exceptional cultivator."
“ wǒ guàng biàn le shí jǐ gè zhōu ， yě cái zhǎo dào zhè me xiē 。 jiù zhī dào cǐ xíng shì duō me de bù yì le 。”
“我逛遍了十几个州，也才找到这么些。就知道此行是多么的不易了。”
"I searched through several states, and only found so many. I knew this mission would be challenging," Fang Zaiji sighed.
fāng zài jì gǎn tàn dào 。
方再济感叹道。
"You didn't even bother to notify the parents before bringing them here?" Liu San's expression turned sour as he looked at the crying children.
“ nǐ gāi bú huì shì ， lián zhāo hū dōu méi dǎ ， jiù zhí jiē bǎ zhè xiē xiǎo wá wá gěi lǔ lái le ba ？” kàn zhe kū chéng yī tuán de zhòng duō xiǎo wá wá men ， liǔ sān liǎn sè yǒu xiē bù shàn 。
“你该不会是，连招呼都没打，就直接把这些小娃娃给掳来了吧？”看着哭成一团的众多小娃娃们，柳三脸色有些不善。
"Ha! To walk the path of immortality is something few ordinary people can achieve, and I led them here with good intentions. Do you think they need their parents' permission?" Fang Zaiji rolled his eyes and said it was only natural for them to be secretive given the sect's current state of seclusion.
“ xiào huà ， tà xiān tú 、 chéng xiān lù 。 duō shǎo fán rén qiú dōu qiú bù lái ， wǒ hǎo xīn jiāng tā men yǐn lǐng 。 nán bù chéng hái yào jīng guò tā men fù mǔ de zhǔn xǔ ？” fāng zài jì bái le liǔ sān yī yǎn ， lǐ suǒ dāng rán dào 。
“笑话，踏仙途、成仙路。多少凡人求都求不来，我好心将他们引领。难不成还要经过他们父母的准许？”方再济白了柳三一眼，理所当然道。
Liu San fell silent at these words.
“ zài zhě shuō ， wǒ men yào wáng zōng rú jīn hái shì bì shì bù chū de zhuàng tài 。 zuò shì dāng rán gèng yào yǐn mì xiē 。”
“再者说，我们药王宗如今还是避世不出的状态。做事当然更要隐秘些。”
"Since Mr. Fang has found them, they must have a connection with our sect. I trust your judgment," Xu Bai cleared his throat and made a decision.
yī xí huà shuō de liǔ sān yǎ kǒu wú yán 。
一席话说的柳三哑口无言。
"In this age, there aren't as many cultivators wandering the world to select disciples. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance governs without interference. It all comes down to their own fate. Therefore, many talented individuals are likely being overlooked."
“ jì rán néng bèi fāng xiān shēng zhǎo lái ， nà jiù shuō míng tā men yǔ wǒ yào wáng zōng yǒu yuán fǎ 。 wǒ xiāng xìn fāng xiān shēng de yǎn guāng 。” xǔ bái qīng ké le shēng ， pāi bǎn dào 。
“既然能被方先生找来，那就说明他们与我药王宗有缘法。我相信方先生的眼光。”许白轻咳了声，拍板道。
"This might be an opportunity for our sect," Liu San's eyes lit up.
“ rú jīn bù xiàng shàng gǔ shí qī ， yǒu wú shù zōng mén xiū shì xíng zǒu tiān xià ， tiāo xuǎn hòu bèi dì zǐ 。 wàn xiān méng wú wéi ér zhì ， shuí néng zǒu shàng xiū xiān lù ， quán píng zì shēn yuán fǎ 。 gù ér ， dìng rán yǒu dà liàng tiān zī chū zhòng zhī bèi bèi mái mò 。”
“如今不像上古时期，有无数宗门修士行走天下，挑选后辈弟子。万仙盟无为而治，谁能走上修仙路，全凭自身缘法。故而，定然有大量天资出众之辈被埋没。”
"Then it will be your task to take care of these disciples. Teach them cultivation techniques first and guide them through the initial stages..."
“ zhè huò xǔ duì yú wǒ men yào wáng zōng ér yán ， shì gè jī huì 。”
“这或许对于我们药王宗而言，是个机会。”
Before Xu Bai could finish, a sudden thought struck him.
liǔ sān tīng dào cǐ huà ， yě shì yǎn jīng yī liàng ：“ zōng zhǔ shuō de yǒu dào lǐ 。”
柳三听到此话，也是眼睛一亮：“宗主说的有道理。”
After pondering for a moment, he changed his mind: "When we first tell them about cultivation, don't mention 'using false heavens and earths to build the foundation.'"
“ nà me zhào gù zhè xiē dì zǐ ， hái xū yào láo fán liǔ lǎo nín le 。 xiān jiào tā men xiū xíng zhī fǎ ， dài tā men liàn qì ……”
“那么照顾这些弟子，还需要劳烦柳老您了。先教他们修行之法，待他们炼气……”
"Instead, just tell them 'fusing their own bodies to build the foundation'!"
xǔ bái zhèng shuō zhe ， hū de líng guāng yī shǎn 。
许白正说着，忽的灵光一闪。
Liu San and Fang Zaiji were momentarily stunned but quickly understood Xu Bai's intent.
chén yín piàn kè ， gǎi biàn le zhǔ yì ：“ zuì chū gào zhī tā men xiū xíng zhī fǎ de shí hòu ， jiù bù tí 【 jiǎ tiān dì zhī qí ， yǐ zhù dào jī 】 zhè shì 。”
沉吟片刻，改变了主意：“最初告之他们修行之法的时候，就不提【假天地之奇，以筑道基】这事。”
"Brilliant! If any of them succeed in building a foundation, it will be through their own efforts!" Fang Zaiji exclaimed.
“ ér shì zhǐ gào sù tā men ，【 róng běn wǒ zhī qū ， yǐ zhù dào jī 】！”
“而是只告诉他们，【熔本我之躯，以筑道基】！”
Liu San hesitated: "But, sect leader, isn't this...?"
liǔ sān yǔ fāng zài jì wén yán ， jù shì wēi wēi lèng zhù 。
柳三与方再济闻言，俱是微微愣住。
Xu Bai smiled gently. "If they can’t build the foundation and have completely given up, we can tell them the truth later."
liǎng rén dōu bú shì yú dùn zhī bèi ， shùn jiān míng bái le xǔ bái de yòng yì 。
两人都不是愚钝之辈，瞬间明白了许白的用意。
Seeing Xu Bai's agreement, Liu San nodded reluctantly.
“ miào a ， rú cǐ yī lái ， tā men qí zhōng rú guǒ yǒu rén chéng gōng zhù jī ， nà bì rán jiù shì 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī 】 le ！” fāng zài jì pāi ān jiào jué dào 。
“妙啊，如此一来，他们其中如果有人成功筑基，那必然就是【以我筑基】了！”方再济拍桉叫绝道。
After explaining the details of 'using one’s own body to build the foundation' in detail, Xu Bai suddenly asked: "By the way, where is Elder Jiang? I sensed her return."
ér liǔ sān zé shì liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī chí yí ：“ zōng zhǔ ， zhè yàng yī lái ， shì bú shì yǒu diǎn ……”
而柳三则是脸上闪过一丝迟疑：“宗主，这样一来，是不是有点……”
Fang Zaiji smirked: "She went and fought someone. She lost badly and is currently in seclusion, practicing hard."
xǔ bái wēi wēi xiào dào ：“ ruò shì tā men shí zài wú fǎ zhù jī ， yǐ jīng wán quán fàng qì zhī shí 。 zài gào sù tā men zhēn xiàng yě bù chí 。”
许白微微笑道：“若是他们实在无法筑基，已经完全放弃之时。再告诉他们真相也不迟。”
"Haha, she was beaten by a woman who is prettier than her and mocked her. It’s no wonder Yu Shan would have gone mad with rage," Fang Zaiji said with satisfaction.
jiàn xǔ bái rú cǐ shuō ， liǔ sān yě zhǐ dé diǎn tóu tóng yì 。
见许白如此说，柳三也只得点头同意。
"At least I can finally get some peace from her irritating voice."
zài dù xiàng liǔ sān xiáng xì jiǎng jiě le zì shēn suǒ zhī de 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī 】 xì jié zhī hòu ， xǔ bái yòu tū rán wèn dào ：“ duì le ， zěn me méi kàn dào jiāng zhǎng lǎo rén ？”
再度向柳三详细讲解了自身所知的【以我筑基】细节之后，许白又突然问道：“对了，怎么没看到姜长老人？”
Liu San's expression changed: "What? Why didn't you tell me this earlier, Old Fang? Did Yu Shan get hurt?"
“ wǒ míng míng gǎn yìng dào tā huí lái de qì xī le 。”
“我明明感应到她回来的气息了。”
With growing concern, Liu San temporarily set aside Xu Bai’s instructions and rushed off to check on Yu Shan.
fāng zài jì dùn shí xìng zāi lè huò dào ：“ tā pǎo qù gēn rén dǎ le yī jià ， jié guǒ què shì cǎn bài 。 shòu le cì jī ， zhèng bì guān kǔ xiū ne 。”
方再济顿时幸灾乐祸道：“她跑去跟人打了一架，结果却是惨败。受了刺激，正闭关苦修呢。”
Fang Zaiji shrugged: "I don’t understand why you like that woman."
“ hā hā ， tīng shuō duì fāng hái shì nǚ de 。 zhǎng de yě bǐ tā piào liàng ， hái chū yán cháo fěng 。 yù shān tā bù qì fēng le cái guài 。”
“哈哈，听说对方还是女的。长的也比她漂亮，还出言嘲讽。玉珊她不气疯了才怪。”
"Since Elder Jiang is secluding herself, the task of creating the Endless Disk will be given to you, Mr. Fang," Xu Bai interrupted, breaking Fang Zaiji's thoughts.
“ zhōng yú néng gòu yǒu yī duàn shí jiān tīng bú dào tā nà cì ěr de shēng yīn le 。” fāng zài jì yī fù shí fēn qìng xìng de yàng zi 。
“终于能够有一段时间听不到她那刺耳的声音了。”方再济一副十分庆幸的样子。
"With your skills, there shouldn't be a problem, right?" Xu Bai looked at him expectantly.
liǔ sān què shì miàn sè wēi biàn ：“ shén me ， zhè me zhòng yào de shì qíng ， lǎo fāng nǐ wèi hé bù zǎo shuō ？ yù shān tā shòu shāng le méi yǒu ？”
柳三却是面色微变：“什么，这么重要的事情，老方你为何不早说？玉珊她受伤了没有？”
Instead of getting angry about being assigned a task, Fang Zaiji was overjoyed: "No problem, of course not! The Endless Disk is almost as precious as an immortal artifact. I’ve long been annoyed by Yu Shan’s rough handling."
shuō zhe ， liǔ sān yǒu xiē xīn jí 。 bǎ shǒu shàng xǔ bái jiāo dài de rèn wù dōu zàn qiě pāo zài yī biān ， lián máng fēi dùn ér zǒu ， qù tàn wàng jiāng yù shān qù le 。
说着，柳三有些心急。把手上许白交代的任务都暂且抛在一边，连忙飞遁而走，去探望姜玉珊去了。
"Relax, sect leader, I will be very gentle with it," Fang Zaiji pleaded.
fāng zài jì piē le piě zuǐ ：“ gǎo bù dǒng ， liǔ sān kàn shàng nà nǚ rén nǎ yì diǎn le 。”
方再济撇了撇嘴：“搞不懂，柳三看上那女人哪一点了。”
Xu Bai smiled and tossed the Endless Disk to him.
“ jì rán jiāng zhǎng lǎo tā yào bì guān kǔ xiū ， nà me zhì zào zhōng mò yuán pán de rèn wù ， jiù jiāo gěi fāng xiān shēng nǐ ba 。” xǔ bái zhè shí chū shēng ， jiāng fāng zài jì de sī xù dǎ duàn 。
“既然姜长老她要闭关苦修，那么制造终末圆盘的任务，就交给方先生你吧。”许白这时出声，将方再济的思绪打断。
Without further instructions, Fang Zaiji left happily with his new treasure.
“ yǐ nín de shǒu duàn ， yīng gāi bú shì wèn tí ba ？” xǔ bái yǒu xiē qī dài dì kàn zhe duì fāng 。
“以您的手段，应该不是问题吧？”许白有些期待地看着对方。
Now, Xu Bai turned his attention to the group of children on the square. If he were in his true form, their cries would have been unbearable. But this Xu Bai found no irritation as he watched them. Instead, he felt a sense of compassion and protection.
bèi ān pái kǔ lì ， fāng zài jì fēi dàn méi yǒu nǎo nù 。 fǎn ér dà xǐ dào ：“ méi wèn tí ， dāng rán méi wèn tí ！ zhōng mò shí pán ， nà kě shì yǐn yuē néng gēn xiān qì xiāng pì měi de dōng xī a 。 wǒ zǎo jiù xián yù shān tā dòng qǐ shǒu lái ， yǒu xiē cū bào le 。”
被安排苦力，方再济非但没有恼怒。反而大喜道：“没问题，当然没问题！终末石盘，那可是隐约能跟仙器相媲美的东西啊。我早就嫌玉珊她动起手来，有些粗暴了。”
Xu Bai silently pondered the source of these emotions. A smile appeared on his face as he slowly flew to the children's side. His divine appearance and gentle aura instantly caught everyone’s attention; they all fell silent, staring at Xu Bai with wide eyes.
“ zōng zhǔ nǐ fàng xīn ， wǒ yí dìng huì hěn wēn róu de duì dài tā de 。”
“宗主你放心，我一定会很温柔的对待它的。”
Xu Bai interacted warmly with the children. In just a few moments, he knew their names and cultivation potential.
fāng zài jì yǎn bā bā dì kàn zhe xǔ bái 。
方再济眼巴巴地看着许白。
"Indeed, those who could escape from major sects during ancient times must have some skills," Xu Bai thought. "These little fellows' talents are almost on par with Fang Haibo."
xǔ bái xiào le xiào ， jiāng zhōng mò yuán pán rēng guò qù ， jiāo gěi le tā 。
许白笑了笑，将终末圆盘扔过去，交给了他。
"And Gu Xinghan..." Xu Bai noticed a familiar name among the children. It was the same as the first author to reveal the true nature of the Heavenlyprofound; mysteriousLocking Spirit Array.
bù děng fēn fù ， dé le bǎo wù de fāng zài jì ， biàn xìng chōng chōng dì zì xíng lí qù le 。
不等吩咐，得了宝物的方再济，便兴冲冲地自行离去了。
That lengthy, passionate article flashed through his mind. Looking at this five-year-old child, two figures slowly merged.
zhè shí hòu ， xǔ bái cái jiāng mù guāng zhù shì zài guǎng chǎng shàng de zhè qún hái tóng shēn shàng 。
这时候，许白才将目光注视在广场上的这群孩童身上。
"Surely it's him. Interesting."
rú guǒ shì běn zūn zài cǐ ， nà bì rán huì jué de tā men de kū nào shí fēn guā zào 。
如果是本尊在此，那必然会觉得他们的哭闹十分聒噪。
Gu Xinghan had been one of the leaders of Fuhuan Hall in his previous life, leading countless cultivators against the Xuan Network but never captured by the Heavenly Alliance. His abilities were unquestionable.
dàn shì fēn shēn xǔ bái kàn zhuó yǎn qián zhè xiē chǎo nào bù tíng de hái tóng ， xīn zhōng què bìng méi yǒu jué de duō shǎo bù nài fán 。
但是分身许白看着眼前这些吵闹不停的孩童，心中却并没有觉得多少不耐烦。
"It seems this boy might bring me some surprises," Xu Bai smiled as he patted Gu Xinghan's shoulder.
fǎn ér xīn zhōng bù yóu shēng chū yī gǔ lián xī 、 ài hù zhī gǎn 。
反而心中不由生出一股怜惜、爱护之感。
Liu San returned dejectedly, having not even seen Yu Shan. He took on a serious demeanor to deal with the children after Xu Bai’s calming words. The children listened more obediently now. As Xu Bai left, they waved goodbye, much to Liu San's amazement.
xǔ bái mò mò tǐ wù zhe shēn qū qíng gǎn de lái yuán 。
许白默默体悟着身躯情感的来源。
Instead of returning to Tianling State, Xu Bai first went to the secret room in the Immortal Valley.
liǎn shàng zé shì fú xiàn yī sī wēi xiào ， huǎn huǎn fēi shēn lái dào yī zhòng hái tóng shēn biān 。
脸上则是浮现一丝微笑，缓缓飞身来到一众孩童身边。
He was uncertain about an idea that suddenly appeared in his mind and needed time to think it through.
wǎn ruò tiān rén de róng mào ， yǐ jí wēn róu wú bǐ de qì xī 。
宛若天人的容貌，以及温柔无比的气息。
"Should I use this body to perform a ritual and enter the Void Realm?"
shùn jiān xī yǐn le zài chǎng suǒ yǒu hái tóng de zhù yì ， tā men qǐng kè jiān quán dōu ān jìng le xià lái 。 dèng dà le yǎn jīng ， bù yuē ér tóng de yì qǐ kàn xiàng xǔ bái 。
瞬间吸引了在场所有孩童的注意，他们顷刻间全都安静了下来。瞪大了眼睛，不约而同的一起看向许白。
This thought had just emerged when he interacted with the children. Mr. Bai’s kindness towards them suggested he truly was, as Xu Ke said, a "good person."
xǔ bái shí fēn qīn qiè de gēn hái zi men jiāo liú 。
许白十分亲切的跟孩子们交流。
If so, what would entering the Void Realm be like in this body?
qī zuǐ bā shé jiān ， bù guò piàn kè gōng fu 。
七嘴八舌间，不过片刻功夫。
After some time, Liu San returned dejectedly, having not even seen Yu Shan.
xǔ bái yǐ jīng quán dōu zhī xiǎo le tā men de míng zì ， yǐ jí gè zì de xiū xíng tiān fù 。
许白已经全都知晓了他们的名字，以及各自的修行天赋。
With renewed energy, he faced the children seriously.
“ bù kuì shì shàng gǔ shí qī ， bèi gè dà zōng mén zhuī shā hái néng měi měi táo shēng de cún zài 。 zhè fāng zài jì dí què yǒu xiē shǒu duàn 。”
“不愧是上古时期，被各大宗门追杀还能每每逃生的存在。这方再济的确有些手段。”
Thanks to Xu Bai’s previous reassurances, the children were much more obedient. As Xu Bai left, they waved goodbye, leaving Liu San amazed.
“ zhè xiē xiǎo wá wá de tiān fù ， jī hū dōu bù zài zhāng hào bō zhī xià le 。”
“这些小娃娃的天赋，几乎都不在张浩波之下了。”
Xu Bai didn’t return to Tianling State but instead went into the secret room in the Immortal Valley. He was uncertain about an idea that suddenly appeared in his mind and needed time to think it through.
“ ér qiě ， gù xīng hàn ……” xǔ bái hái zài zhè qún hái tóng zhōng ， kàn dào le yí gè yǒu xiē shú xī de míng zì 。
“而且，顾星汉……”许白还在这群孩童中，看到了一个有些熟悉的名字。
"Should I use this body to perform a ritual and enter the Void Realm?" he wondered.
"I handle the affairs, and the sect leader can rest assured," Fang Zaiji assured with a confident pat on his chest.
"My vision is much better than Old Liu's. I wouldn't make such a mistake in identifying talent. I dare to bet that not one of these little fellows isn’t an exceptional cultivator."
