tiān zhōu =， mó yù shān mài 。
天州=，魔域山脉。
Tianzhou, the domain of demons.

田小剑打量着眼前的山峰，从表面上看，并没有丝毫出奇之处，但他的脸上却满是喜色，再次从怀中拿出那残破的地图，繁复对照。没铝，就是这里了。随后他将地图一收，从储物袋里取出一张黄橙橙的宝物。这是一张地阶的土遁符，田小剑毫不犹豫的将其贴在胸口上面。一道灵光闪过，他的身体被黄芒包裹，田小剑像山峰飞掠而去了。坚硬的岩石，他却视若无物，就仿佛跳入了水中，整个身体全部遁入了山峰。这就是仙法格玄妙之处。
Field Xiaojian sized up the mountain peak before him. From a distance, it seemed unremarkable, but his face was full of joy as he once again took out the broken map from his pocket and compared it meticulously. There! That must be where it is. He then put away the map and took out a yellowish-brown treasure from his storage bag. It was a soil-grade earthevading talisman (Earth Diving Talisman). Field Xiaojian hesitated not as he stuck it to his chest. A flash of spiritual light passed, enveloping his body in a golden glow. He soared into the mountain peak like an arrow. The hard rocks beneath him seemed non-existent; it was as if he had jumped into water, completely vanishing inside the mountain.
shān nián nèi bù ， tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn shàng mǎn shì xǐ sè ， rú guǒ zì jǐ méi yǒu zhǎo cuò ， zhè lǐ mái jí dé yǒu dà liàng luó jiā de bǎo wù 。
山年内部，田小剑的脸上满是喜色，如果自己没有找错，这里埋蕺得有大量罗家的宝物。
This was the marvel of Immortal Techniques.
tiān zhōu luó jiā ， céng xióng bà tiān yún shí èr zhōu shù shí wàn nián ， bù lùn rén zú hái shì yāo zú ， zhǐ yǒu tīng mìng chén fú ， hòu lái suī bèi qī pài suǒ miè ， zǒng tán yě bèi shōu guā yī kōng 。
天州罗家，曾雄霸天云十二州数十万年，不论人族还是妖族，只有听命臣服，后来虽被七派所灭，总坛也被收刮一空。
Inside the mountain, Field Xiaojian's face lit up with joy. If his calculations were correct, there should be a large stash of Luo Family treasures buried here.
dàn zhè yàng chì zhà fēng yún de dà jiā zú ， néng rén bèi chū ， sú huà shuō ， jī dàn bù néng fàng zài yí gè lán zi lǐ ， zhè ge dào lǐ qǐ huì bù qīng chǔ 。 zǒng tán jǐn jǐn shì yī xiǎo bǐ cái fù ， dà liàng de gōng fǎ bǎo wù ， dōu j$ zài zhè mó yù shān mài zhī zhōng 。
但这样叱咤风云的大家族，能人辈出，俗话说，鸡蛋不能放在一个篮子里，这个道理岂会不清楚。总坛仅仅是一小笔财富，大量的功法宝物，都j$在这魔域山脉之中。
The Luo Family of Tianzhou once dominated twelve states for tens of thousands of years, commanding both human and demon tribes to submit. Although they were eventually destroyed by the Seven Factions, their main base was stripped bare.
zhè yī cì shàng tiān juàn gù ， yì wài cóng nà sǐ jiāng shī de shǒu lǐ dé dào le cáng bǎo tú ， jí biàn yǐ tián xiǎo jiàn de chéng fǔ ， yě xīn zhōng huǒ rè ， děng zì jǐ kāi qǐ bǎo kù ， huò dé luó jiā de chuán chéng ， lín xuān suàn shén me ， jiǎ yǐ shí rì ， bì néng jìn jiē lí hé 。 tā zhèng měi měi de xiǎng zhe ， qián - fāng yǐ méi yǒu lù 。 shān bì bú jiàn le ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī hēi hū hū de shì wù 。 shì yī shàn dà mén ， dàn què shì yóu tiě jīng suǒ zhù 。
这一次上天眷顾，意外从那死僵尸的手里得到了藏宝图，即便以田小剑的城府，也心中火热，等自己开启宝库，获得罗家的传承，林轩算什么，假以时日，必能进阶离合。他正美美的想着，前-方已没有路。山壁不见了，取而代之的是一黑乎乎的事物。是一扇大门，但却是由铁精所铸。
But such a powerful family with many talented individuals would not put all their eggs in one basket. The wealth from the main base was just a small portion; most of the treasures and magical artifacts lay hidden within these demon domains.
tián xiǎo jiàn xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， xiān yòng shén niàn sǎo guò ， rán hòu shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yōu míng suì xīn jiàn fēi yuàn chū lái 。“ zhǎn ！”
田小剑心中一喜，先用神念扫过，然后伸出手来，在腰间一拍，幽冥碎心剑飞掾出来。“斩！”
After flying for a moment, an ice city appeared before him. Even Field Xiaojian, known for his composure, could not help but show surprise on his face.
tián xiǎo jiàn yī shēng qīng chì ， rán ér què yǒu hōng lōng lóng de shēng xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bù děng fēi jiàn kǎn rù ， nà tiě jīng suǒ zhù de dà mén què zì jǐ dǎ kāi le 。 zhè yī yī yī yī 1 yī
田小剑一声轻叱，然而却有轰隆隆的声响传入耳朵，不等飞剑砍入，那铁精所铸的大门却自己打开了。这一一一一1一
This city was built among several massive snow-capped mountains, with a grand and expansive layout. Although it couldn't match the scale of Xuan Yuan City, its size far exceeded that of ordinary cultivator settlements. The walls were hundreds of feet high, reflecting a deep blue under the sunlight. "Huh? What's that?" Field Xiaojian suddenly raised an eyebrow as his face showed signs of surprise. It was understandable why he was surprised; on the city walls stood numerous large cylinders.
tián xiǎo jiàn yī è ， àn lǐ shuō ， cáng bǎo kù shì bù kě néng chū xiàn zhè zhǒng qíng jǐng de ， tā de xīn zhōng ， yǐn yǐn gǎn dào bù miào 。 nán dào nà dì tú yǒu jiǎ ， zì jǐ jìng tà rù xiàn jǐng le ma ？ zài shuō lìng yī biān ， yún zhōu de tiān qiǎo mén zǒng tán 。
田小剑一愕，按理说，藏宝库是不可能出现这种情景的，他的心中，隐隐感到不妙。难道那地图有假，自己竟踏入陷阱了吗？再说另一边，云州的天巧门总坛。
They varied in size, with some having diameters of over ten feet and others just a foot or so. They looked like cannons from the secular world.
zài yǐ páng bó wèi de sān míng xiū shì de yǐn lǐng xià ， lín xuān jìn rù le dà xuě shān shēn chù ， guì rù yǎn lián de shì yī piàn piàn tíng tái lóu gé 。
在以庞博为的三名修士的引领下，林轩进入了大雪山深处，炔入眼帘的是一片片亭台楼阁。
Field Xiaojian's brows furrowed as he knew that such things existed in the secular world—artillery was far more effective than swords and spears for human armies. But to cultivators, it was worthless, not even matching the basic Fireball Spell in power.
bù guò zhè lǐ de jiàn zhù yǔ qí tā mén pài dà bù xiāng tóng ， kàn shàng qù líng lóng tī tòu ， biàn fǎng fú shì yòng měi yù shuǐ jīng xiū jiàn ér chéng de 。 jí shǐ shì shì sú de dōng gōng yǔ qí xiāng bǐ ， yě bù yóu dà wèi xùn sè 。
不过这里的建筑与其他门派大不相同，看上去玲珑剔透，便仿佛是用美玉水晶修建而成的。即使是世俗的冬宫与其相比，也不由大为逊色。
The Tianzhao Sect ranked among the Seven Great Powers; why would they use artillery here?
yī lù shàng ， liǎng rén yě yù jiàn le xǔ duō tiān qiǎo mén de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn dōu yǐ zá yì de jū duō ， xiū wèi dà duō zài líng dòng qī ， lín xuān lái dào yún zhōu ， duō shǎo yě yǒu le yī xiē nián tóu ， duì yú tiān qiǎo mén de chuán wén ， zì rán tīng shuō guò ， liǎn shàng fēn háo yě méi yǒu lù chū qí guài zhī sè 。 yòu fēi piàn kè ， yī zuò bīng chéng chū xiàn zài miàn pīn le 。， zhè …， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū le jīng yà zhī sè 。
一路上，两人也遇见了许多天巧门的修仙者，但都以杂役的居多，修为大多在灵动期，林轩来到云州，多少也有了一些年头，对于天巧门的传闻，自然听说过，脸上分毫也没有露出奇怪之色。又飞片刻，一座冰城出现在面拼了。，这…，即便以林轩的城府，脸上也不由得露出了惊讶之色。
Field Xiaojian was initially surprised but quickly realized something was off. All these cylinders were made of iron and had various inscribed runes and miniature magical arrays around them. Depending on their size, different numbers of cultivators stood beside them—those with a diameter of ten feet or so were manned by Spirit Flowing Period disciples, while the largest ones had three Foundation Establishment Period cultivators.
cǐ chéng xiū jiàn zài jǐ zuò jù dà de xuě shān zhī zhōng ， qì shì huī dàng ， miàn jī yě shí fēn guǎng kuò ， suī rán wú fǎ yǔ xuān yuán chéng xiāng bǐ ， dàn guī mó yě yuǎn yuǎn guò le yì bān de xiū shì jù jí zhī dì 。 guāng shì chéng qiáng ， jiù yǒu shù bǎi zhàng gāo ， yáng guāng xià ， fǎn shè zhe yōu lán de guāng zé 。“ yí ， nà shì shén me ？” lín xuān tū rán méi shāo yī dòng ， liǎn shàng lù chū jīng yà zhī sè de kāi yě nán guài tā jīng è ， zhǐ jiàn zài chéng qiáng shàng ， jū rán shù lì zhe yí gè yí gè de dà yuán tǒng 。
此城修建在几座巨大的雪山之中，气势恢宕，面积也十分广阔，虽然无法与轩辕城相比，但规模也远远过了一般的修士聚集之地。光是城墙，就有数百丈高，阳光下，反射着幽蓝的光泽。“咦，那是什么？”林轩突然眉梢一动，脸上露出惊讶之色的开也难怪他惊愕，只见在城墙上，居然竖立着一个一个的大圆筒。
"Is it that you haven't heard about our Crystal Might Cannons?" Páng Bó was taken aback as he showed a hint of surprise on his face.
cháng duǎn bù yī ， dà de kǒu jìng zú yǒu zhàng xǔ ， xiǎo de zé jǐn yǒu yī chǐ de yàng zi ， kàn shàng qù …… jiù xiàng shì sú shì jiè de huǒ pào 。
长短不一，大的口径足有丈许，小的则仅有一尺的样子，看上去……就像世俗世界的火炮。
"What's a Crystal Might Cannon?" Field Xiaojian scratched his head. He hadn't heard of such a thing; after all, he had no ties to the Tianzhao Sect and rarely paid attention to it.
lín xuān de méi tóu bù yóu de zhòu le qǐ lái ， tā dāng rán zhī dào ， zài shì sú shì jiè ， yǒu huǒ pào zhè zhǒng dōng xī ， fán rén jūn duì dǎ zhàng de shí hòu ， bǐ yòng dāo jiàn kǎn lì hài dé duō ， dàn zài xiū xiān zhě yǎn lǐ ， què bù zhí yī tí ， hái jí bù shàng zuì jī chǔ de huǒ dàn shù yǒu wēi lì 。
林轩的眉头不由得皱了起来，他当然知道，在世俗世界，有火炮这种东西，凡人军队打仗的时候，比用刀剑砍厉害得多，但在修仙者眼里，却不值一提，还及不上最基础的火弹术有威力。
Since Field Xiaojian had made this request, as a mere Condensation Core Period cultivator, Páng Bó naturally had no reason to refuse. With a pleading expression on his face, he began to explain in detail: "Crystal Might Cannons are an ancient type of magical artifact."
tiān qiǎo mén kě shì wèi jū qī dà shì lì ， zěn me huì zài zǒng tán yòng shàng huǒ pào zhè zhǒng dōng xī ？
天巧门可是位居七大势力，怎么会在总坛用上火炮这种东西？
"Magical artifacts?"
lín xuān xiān shì yǒu xiē jīng è ， bù guò hěn kuài jiù chá jué chū bú duì le ， nà xiē yuán tǒng ， quán bù shì yóu tiě jīng suǒ zhù ， ér qiě zài pào shēn zhōu wéi ， míng kè zhe gè zhǒng gè yàng de fú wén ， yǐ jí wēi xíng fǎ zhèn 。
林轩先是有些惊愕，不过很快就察觉出不对了，那些圆筒，全部是由铁精所铸，而且在炮身周围，铭刻着各种各样的符文，以及微型法阵。
"Yes, they're different from the usual kind. The method of crafting them has long been lost, but only our Tianzhao Sect still retains it and can cast them. These cannons are incredibly complex yet possess astonishing power, divided into lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, and top-tier categories. A lower-grade Crystal Might Cannon is hard for a Condensation Core Period cultivator to withstand, while a middle-grade one can hunt Infant Soul cultivators. As for the top-tier ones..."
ér gēn jù yuán tǒng dà xiǎo de bù tóng ， páng biān zhàn yǒu shù liàng bù děng de xiū xiān zhě ， zhí jìng chǐ xǔ de shì yī míng líng dòng qī dì zǐ ， ér kǒu jìng zuì dà de zé zhàn yǒu sān míng zhù jī qī xiū shì 。“ zěn me ， qián bèi mò fēi méi yǒu tīng shuō guò běn mén de jīng wēi pào me ？” páng bó yī dāi ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì de biǎo qíng lái 。
而根据圆筒大小的不同，旁边站有数量不等的修仙者，直径尺许的是一名灵动期弟子，而口径最大的则站有三名筑基期修士。“怎么，前辈莫非没有听说过本门的晶威炮么？”庞博一呆，脸上露出几分诧异的表情来。
"How about them?" Field Xiaojian said with great interest.
“ jīng wēi pào ， nà shì shén me ？” lín xuān náo le náo tóu ， tā shì zhēn de méi yǒu tīng guò 「 bì jìng zì jǐ yǔ tiān qiǎo mén sù wú guā gé ， yì zhí yǐ lái guān zhù yě bù duō 。
“晶威炮，那是什么？”林轩挠了挠头，他是真的没有听过「毕竟自己与天巧门素无瓜葛，一直以来关注也不多。
"Haha, even for a senior like you, it's uncertain whether you could withstand such a cannon." Páng Bó spoke proudly.
lín xuān jì rán tí chū le yāo qiú ， yī xiǎo xiǎo de níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě ， zì rán méi yǒu jù jué de lǐ yóu ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì tǎo hǎo zhī sè ， xì xì de jiě shì qǐ lái le ：“ jīng wēi pào ， shuō qǐ lái ， suàn shì yī zhǒng gǔ lǎo de fǎ bǎo 。”“ fǎ bǎo ？”
林轩既然提出了要求，一小小的凝丹期修仙者，自然没有拒绝的理由，脸上满是讨好之色，细细的解释起来了：“晶威炮，说起来，算是一种古老的法宝。”“法宝？”
"Really?"
“ bù cuò ， dāng rán le ， yǔ tōng cháng yì yì shàng de fǎ bǎo wán quán bù tóng ， liàn zhì zhī fǎ ， qí tā dì fāng zǎo jiù shī chuán le ， zhǐ yǒu wǒ men tiān qiǎo mén ， hái bǎo cún dé yǒu ， kě yǐ yī fǎ zhù zào ， zhè zhǒng pào fù zá wú bǐ ， dàn què yōng yǒu jīng rén de wēi lì ， fēn wéi xià pǐn ， zhōng pǐn ， shàng pǐn ， yǐ jí dǐng jiē sì gè děng jí ， xià pǐn jīng wēi pào ， yī pào guò qù ， níng dān qī de xiū shì hěn nán dǐ dǎng ， zhōng pǐn pǐn wēi pào zé kě yǐ liè shā yuán yīng chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， zhì yú dǐng jiē jīng wēi pào ……”“ rú hé ？” lín xuān dà gǎn xìng qù de shuō 。“ hē hē ， biàn shì qián bèi zhè yàng de dà xiū xiān zhě ， néng fǒu dǐ dǎng yě shì liǎng shuō 。” páng bó yǒu diǎn zì ào de kāi kǒu le 。“ zhēn de ？”
“不错，当然了，与通常意义上的法宝完全不同，炼制之法，其他地方早就失传了，只有我们天巧门，还保存得有，可以依法铸造，这种炮复杂无比，但却拥有惊人的威力，分为下品，中品，上品，以及顶阶四个等级，下品晶威炮，一炮过去，凝丹期的修士很难抵挡，中品品威炮则可以猎杀元婴初期的修仙者，至于顶阶晶威炮……”“如何？”林轩大感兴趣的说。“呵呵，便是前辈这样的大修仙者，能否抵挡也是两说。”庞博有点自傲的开口了。“真的？”
"I dare not lie; these Crystal Might Cannons are ancient artifacts. Our sect has replicated so many of them. Even if an old monster from the Separation Stage came to attack, thousands of cannons firing together would be enough to defeat them, but it's a pity how much crystal stones they consume." Páng Bó looked slightly disappointed as he spoke.
“ wǎn bèi qǐ gǎn sā huǎng ， yùn pǐn wēi pào nǎi shàng gǔ zhī wù ， běn mén rú jīn fǎng zhì chū nà me duō ， bú shì zì kuā ， jiù suàn yǒu lí hé qī lǎo guài wù lái fàn ， wàn pào qí hōng ， yě zú yǐ zhì dí de ， jiù kě xī cǐ pào tài hào jīng shí le 。” jiǎng dào cǐ chù ， páng bó de liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn ào nǎo zhī sè 。 lín xuān méi yǒu kāi kǒu ， dàn què yǐ shǒu zhī hé ， kàn zhe nà yù chǎng qiáng shàng de yuán tǒng ， yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn liú lù chū huǒ rè 。
“晚辈岂敢撒谎，运品威炮乃上古之物，本门如今仿制出那么多，不是自夸，就算有离合期老怪物来犯，万炮齐轰，也足以致敌的，就可惜此炮太耗晶石了。”讲到此处，庞博的脸上露出几分懊恼之色。林轩没有开口，但却以手支颌，看着那域厂墙上的圆筒，眼中隐隐流露出火热。
Field Xiaojian didn't say anything but watched the cylinders on the city walls with his eyes aglow.
2o11-1-619:23 chéng qiáng tǔ chú le dà xiǎo bù yī de yuán tǒng ， qí yú de jìn zhì yě hěn duō ， hái yǒu shù yǐ qiān jì de xiū shì zài xún luó ， bù guò lín xuān yī xíng rén jìn rù chéng zhōng ， què bìng méi yǒu jīng lì yán gé pán chá 。
2o11-1-619:23城墙土除了大小不一的圆筒，其余的禁制也很多，还有数以千计的修士在巡逻，不过林轩一行人进入城中，却并没有经历严格盘查。
Outside the city walls, in addition to the various-sized cylinders, there were many other restrictions and thousands of cultivators patrolling. However, Field Xiaojian's group entered the city without undergoing strict scrutiny.
hái shì nà jù huà ， qū qū yī míng dà xiū xiān zhě ， lái tiān qiǎo mén zǒng tán nào shì ， nà chún cuì shì zhàn sǐ 。 méi yǒu rén huì gàn nà yàng de yíng dīng shì 。
还是那句话，区区一名大修仙者，来天巧门总坛闹事，那纯粹是战死。没有人会干那样的楹丁事。
After all, a mere senior cultivator causing trouble at the main base of the Tianzhao Sect would be asking for a fight. No one would do such a foolish thing.
chéng zhōng de jiē dào shí fēn kuān kuò ， kě yǐ kàn jiàn gè zhǒng zào xíng de tíng tái lóu gé ， páng bó zhí jiē jiāng lín xuān yǐn lǐng dào le yī zuò měi lún měi huàn de diàn yǔ zhī zhōng 。 zhè shì yī dòng èr céng jūn jiàn zhù 。
城中的街道十分宽阔，可以看见各种造型的亭台楼阁，庞博直接将林轩引领到了一座美轮美奂的殿宇之中。这是一栋二层钧建筑。
The streets inside the city were wide and lined with various pavilions and buildings. Páng Bó led Field Xiaojian directly to an elegant palace. It was a two-story building.
“ qián bèi ， qǐng shāo zuò ， nín shì lái gòu mǎi dōng xī ， ér wǎn bèi jǐn jǐn shì fù zé xún luó de dì zǐ ， cǐ shì dé tōng zhī qí tā zhí shì 。” páng bó mǎn liǎn qiàn yì de shuō ， shēng pà dé zuì le yǎn qián de lǎo guài wù 。
“前辈，请稍坐，您是来购买东西，而晚辈仅仅是负责巡逻的弟子，此事得通知其他执事。”庞博满脸歉意的说，生怕得罪了眼前的老怪物。
"Senior, please take a seat. You've come here to buy something, but I'm just a disciple responsible for patrolling. This matter needs to be reported to the other officials," Páng Bó said apologetically, fearing he might offend this powerful old monster.
lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng bìng kàng bù mǎn zhī sè ， yǔ qí tā de yuán yīng xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， lín xuān xiǎn de hěn hǎo jī chù 。 páng bó chū le yī dào chuán yīn fú 。
林轩点点头，脸上并亢不满之色，与其他的元婴修士相比，林轩显得很好机处。庞博出了一道传音符。
Field Xiaojian nodded without showing any displeasure. Compared to other Infant Soul cultivators, Field Xiaojian seemed quite adept at handling situations. Páng Bó used a sound transmission talisman.
jǐn jǐn guò le bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， gé lóu de mén bèi tuī kāi ， yī míng nǚ zǐ zǒu le jìn lái 。
仅仅过了半盏茶的功夫，阁楼的门被推开，一名女子走了进来。
Just half a cup of tea later, the door of the pavilion was pushed open, and a woman walked in. She looked no more than twenty-three or four but had already entered the Infant Soul Stage. Although Field Xiaojian's keen eyesight revealed she had just advanced, it was still impressive.
kàn shàng qù bù guò èr shí sān sì nián jì ， què yǐ jìn rù le yuán yīng qī ， suī rán yǐ lín xuān de yǎn lì ， kàn chū tā shì gāng gāng jìn jí ， dàn yě pǒ liǎo bù qǐ 。
看上去不过二十三四年纪，却已进入了元婴期，虽然以林轩的眼力，看出她是刚刚晋级，但也颇了不起。
"Salutations, Senior Aunt," Páng Bó said with respect as he bowed to her.
“ cān jiàn shī shū 。” páng bó de liǎn shàng mǎn shì gōng jìng zhī sè ， wān yāo xiàng cǐ nǚ xíng lǐ 。
“参见师叔。”庞博的脸上满是恭敬之色，弯腰像此女行礼。
However, she ignored him and fixed her gaze on Field Xiaojian's face. Her divine sense swept over him, causing a look of surprise to appear on her pretty face—indeed, this was an advanced-stage senior cultivator.
rán ér cǐ nǚ kàn dōu méi yǒu kàn tā yī yǎn ， mù guāng jiù luò zài le lín xuān de liǎn kǒng shàng miàn ， shén shí sǎo guò ， qiào liǎn shàng yě lù chū jīng yà zhī sè lái le ， jū rán zhēn shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě 。
然而此女看都没有看他一眼，目光就落在了林轩的脸孔上面，神识扫过，俏脸上也露出惊讶之色来了，居然真是元婴后期的大修仙者。
She curtsied and smiled slightly: "I am Xue Qiaoyun, the outer hall elder. May I ask your name?"
liǎn rèn yī lǐ ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū jǐ fēn xiào yì ：“ qiè shēn wài táng zhǎng lǎo xuē qiǎo yún ， gǎn wèn dào yǒu zūn xìng dà míng ？”“ zài xià lǐ yào tiān ， yī jiè sàn fēng ér yǐ 。” lín xuān zì rán bú huì bào shàng zhēn míng 。
敛衽一礼，嘴角边露出几分笑意：“妾身外堂长老薛巧云，敢问道友尊姓大名？”“在下李耀天，一介散锋而已。”林轩自然不会报上真名。
"My name is Li Yaotian; I'm just a wandering cultivator," Field Xiaojian said with a smile, not revealing his true identity.
xuē qiǎo yún de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò jǐ fēn yí huò ， lǐ yào tiān zhè ge míng zì tài mò shēng le ， sàn xiū ， nán dào duì fāng shì nà zhǒng yǐn jū bù chū de lǎo guài wù ， duì le ， páng shī zhí zài chuán yīn fú zhōng shuō ， tā lián jīng wēi pào dōu méi yǒu tīng guò ， nà me dào zhēn yǒu kě néng shì nà zhǒng yǐn jū hěn jiǔ de kǔ xiū zhī shì le 。
薛巧云的眼中闪过几分疑惑，李耀天这个名字太陌生了，散修，难道对方是那种隐居不出的老怪物，对了，庞师侄在传音符中说，他连晶威炮都没有听过，那么倒真有可能是那种隐居很久的苦修之士了。
Xue Qiaoyun's eyes flashed with confusion. The name "Li Yaotian" was unfamiliar; a wandering cultivator? Could the other party be one of those reclusive old monsters who never left their seclusion? Ah, Páng Nien-ni mentioned that he had never heard of Crystal Might Cannons, so it was indeed possible that this was an advanced-stage cultivator who had been secluded for a long time.
xuē qiǎo yún nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn dòng ， dàn liǎn shàng què mǎn shì xiào róng ， huī le huī shǒu ， páng bó děng sān míng xiū xiān zhě lián máng gōng jìng de tuì xià qù le 。
薛巧云脑海中念头转动，但脸上却满是笑容，挥了挥手，庞博等三名修仙者连忙恭敬的退下去了。
Xue Qiaoyun's mind raced but her face remained smiling. She waved her hand, and the three cultivators bowed respectfully before retreating.

薛巧云来到林轩身边，亲手为他沏上一杯灵茶：“李道友来到此处，不知道想买什么？”
Xue Qiaoyun came to Field Xiaojian's side and personally brewed him some spiritual tea: "Senior Li, what do you wish to buy here?"
“ hē hē ， xiān zi kuài rén kuài yǔ ， nà lǐ mǒu yě bù jiǎo qíng le ， zài xià xīn mù guì pài shén tōng chū zhòng ， xiǎng mǎi jǐ gè kuǐ lěi huí qù wán wán de ， bù zhī dào xiān zi kě néng zuò zhǔ ？” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“呵呵，仙子快人快语，那李某也不矫情了，在下心慕贵派神通出众，想买几个傀儡回去玩玩的，不知道仙子可能做主？”林轩微笑着说。
"Haha, Lady Fairy, your words are so direct. I won't be coy either. I admire the prowess of your sect and want to purchase a few puppets for fun. Do you think you can make such a decision?" Field Xiaojian said with a smile.
“ kuǐ lěi ？” xuē qiǎo yún bù yóu yī dāi ， àn zhào tā de xiǎng fǎ ， běn yǐ wéi lín xuān shì lái gòu mǎi dān yào ， huò zhě shén me fǎ bǎo ， shèn zhì zhèn jiē fú zuǎn ， dú dú méi xiǎng dào lín xuān shì wèi le kuǐ lěi ér lái de 。
“傀儡？”薛巧云不由一呆，按照她的想法，本以为林轩是来购买丹药，或者什么法宝，甚至阵接符纂，独独没想到林轩是为了傀儡而来的。
"Puppets?" Xue Qiaoyun was taken aback. She had expected him to buy elixirs or magical artifacts, but she didn't expect him to be interested in puppets.
bù guò zuò wèi yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě cǐ nǚ píng shí de sī zhí ， běn lái jiù shì jiē dài guì kè ， gè zhǒng gè yàng de gǔ guài yāo qiú jiàn dé duō le ， suī xīn zhōng jīng qí ， dàn liǎn shàng què méi yǒu lù chū fēn háo yì sè ：“ bù zhī dào yǒu xiǎng mǎi nà zhǒng děng jí de kuǐ lěi ne ？”
不过做为元婴期修仙者，而且此女平时的司职，本来就是接待贵客，各种各样的古怪要求见得多了，虽心中惊奇，但脸上却没有露出分毫异色：“不知道友想买那种等级的傀儡呢？”
As an Infant Soul cultivator and someone who often received guests with various unusual requests, although she was surprised inside, her face showed no signs of it: "What kind of puppet does Senior wish to purchase?"
“ zì rán shì yuán yīng qī de 。” lín xuān hē le yī kǒu chá ， shén sè píng jìng de shuō 。
“自然是元婴期的。”林轩喝了一口茶，神色平静的说。
"Of course, an Infant Soul one," Field Xiaojian said calmly after taking a sip of tea.
“ wú yīng qī kuǐ lěi ？”
“无婴期傀儡？”
"Infant Soul puppets?"
“ bù cuò 。” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ xiān zi yīng gāi yě kàn dào le ， lǐ mǒu suī rán fǎ lì dī wēi ， dàn yě bù rù le dà xiū shì zhī liè ， yǐ wǒ de fǎ lì shén tōng ， níng dān qī kuǐ lěi méi yǒu sī háo zuò yòng 。”
“不错。”林轩点了点头：“仙子应该也看到了，李某虽然法力低微，但也步入了大修士之列，以我的法力神通，凝丹期傀儡没有丝毫作用。”
"Yes." Field Xiaojian nodded. "Lady Fairy should have seen that although my magical power is weak, I've entered the realm of great cultivators. With my abilities, Condensation Core Period puppets would be useless."
“ dào yǒu suǒ yán bù cuò 。” xuē qiǎo yún de liǎn shàng què lù chū jǐ fēn nán sè ， kǔ xiào zhe kāi kǒu le ：“ bú shì xiǎo nǚ zǐ bù yuàn yì xǐng fāng biàn ， ér shì àn zhào mén guī ， nà yuán yīng qī de kuǐ lěi ， shì bù mǎi de 。”
“道友所言不错。”薛巧云的脸上却露出几分难色，苦笑着开口了：“不是小女子不愿意醒方便，而是按照门规，那元婴期的傀儡，是不买的。”
"The senior's words are correct," Xue Qiaoyun's face showed a hint of difficulty as she smiled wryly: "Of course, it's not that I'm unwilling to help; according to sect rules, Infant Soul puppets aren't sold."
zhè jiàn shì qíng lín xuān zì rán xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， yào bù rán yě bú huì zhuān mén pǎo dào tiān qiǎo mén zǒng tán lái le ， kě ràng de liǎn shàng ， què zhuāng zuò yī fù háo bù zhī qíng de jīng yà zhī sè ：“ shì me ， kě lǐ mǒu tīng shuō ， zài xuān yuán chéng de pāi mài huì shàng ， guì pài shèn zhì hái jiāng yī yuán yīng hòu qī de kuǐ lěi ná chū qù dàng zuò huò wù 。”
这件事情林轩自然心中有数，要不然也不会专门跑到天巧门总坛来了，可让的脸上，却装作一副毫不知情的惊讶之色：“是么，可李某听说，在轩辕城的拍卖会上，贵派甚至还将一元婴后期的傀儡拿出去当作货物。”
Field Xiaojian naturally knew this but pretended to be surprised. "Is that so? But I heard in the Xuan Yuan City auction, your sect even put out an Infant Soul puppet as a commodity."
“ cǐ shì què shí shì yǒu ， bù guò tiān yún jiāo yì huì yǔ píng shí bù tóng ， měi sān bǎi nián yī cì ， yòu shì yóu wǒ men qī pài gòng tóng zhǔ chí ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， zǒng yào ná chū yī xiē qiǎng shǒu de huò wù ， dàn píng shí ， yuán yīng qī kuǐ lěi què shì jué bù mài de 。” xuē qiǎo yún zhǎn dīng jié tiě de shuō 。“ ó ， nán dào jiù bù kě yǐ tōng róng ？” lín xuān bù yǐ wéi rán de kāi kǒu 。“ tōng róng ？” xuē qiǎo yún xiù méi jiǎo tiāo ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn qīng xiào ：“ dāng rán bú shì bù kě ， dàn nà jiù yào kàn dào yǒu nǐ ， néng gòu fù chū shén me dài jià le 。”
“此事确实是有，不过天云交易会与平时不同，每三百年一次，又是由我们七派共同主持，于情于理，总要拿出一些抢手的货物，但平时，元婴期傀儡却是绝不卖的。”薛巧云斩钉截铁的说。“哦，难道就不可以通融？”林轩不以为然的开口。“通融？”薛巧云秀眉徼挑，脸上露出几分轻笑：“当然不是不可，但那就要看道友你，能够付出什么代价了。”
"This is indeed true, but during the Tianzhou Trade Fair, which happens every three hundred years and is hosted by all seven factions together, it's customary to offer popular goods. However, we never sell Infant Soul puppets in regular times," Xue Qiaoyun said firmly.
"Oh, can't that be flexible?" Field Xiaojian said without taking it seriously.
"Flexible?" Xue Qiaoyun raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Of course not; but what price are you willing to pay for such a puppet?"
Tianzhou, the domain of demons.
Field Xiaojian sized up the mountain peak before him. From a distance, it seemed unremarkable, but his face was full of joy as he once again took out the broken map from his pocket and compared it meticulously. There! That must be where it is. He then put away the map and took out a yellowish-brown treasure from his storage bag. It was a soil-grade earthevading talisman (Earth Diving Talisman). Field Xiaojian hesitated not as he stuck it to his chest. A flash of spiritual light passed, enveloping his body in a golden glow. He soared into the mountain peak like an arrow. The hard rocks beneath him seemed non-existent; it was as if he had jumped into water, completely vanishing inside the mountain.
This was the marvel of Immortal Techniques.
Inside the mountain, Field Xiaojian's face lit up with joy. If his calculations were correct, there should be a large stash of Luo Family treasures buried here.
The Luo Family of Tianzhou once dominated twelve states for tens of thousands of years, commanding both human and demon tribes to submit. Although they were eventually destroyed by the Seven Factions, their main base was stripped bare.
But such a powerful family with many talented individuals would not put all their eggs in one basket. The wealth from the main base was just a small portion; most of the treasures and magical artifacts lay hidden within these demon domains.
After flying for a moment, an ice city appeared before him. Even Field Xiaojian, known for his composure, could not help but show surprise on his face.
This city was built among several massive snow-capped mountains, with a grand and expansive layout. Although it couldn't match the scale of Xuan Yuan City, its size far exceeded that of ordinary cultivator settlements. The walls were hundreds of feet high, reflecting a deep blue under the sunlight. "Huh? What's that?" Field Xiaojian suddenly raised an eyebrow as his face showed signs of surprise. It was understandable why he was surprised; on the city walls stood numerous large cylinders.
They varied in size, with some having diameters of over ten feet and others just a foot or so. They looked like cannons from the secular world.
Field Xiaojian's brows furrowed as he knew that such things existed in the secular world—artillery was far more effective than swords and spears for human armies. But to cultivators, it was worthless, not even matching the basic Fireball Spell in power.
The Tianzhao Sect ranked among the Seven Great Powers; why would they use artillery here?
Field Xiaojian was initially surprised but quickly realized something was off. All these cylinders were made of iron and had various inscribed runes and miniature magical arrays around them. Depending on their size, different numbers of cultivators stood beside them—those with a diameter of ten feet or so were manned by Spirit Flowing Period disciples, while the largest ones had three Foundation Establishment Period cultivators.
"Is it that you haven't heard about our Crystal Might Cannons?" Páng Bó was taken aback as he showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"What's a Crystal Might Cannon?" Field Xiaojian scratched his head. He hadn't heard of such a thing; after all, he had no ties to the Tianzhao Sect and rarely paid attention to it.
Since Field Xiaojian had made this request, as a mere Condensation Core Period cultivator, Páng Bó naturally had no reason to refuse. With a pleading expression on his face, he began to explain in detail: "Crystal Might Cannons are an ancient type of magical artifact."
"Magical artifacts?"
"Yes, they're different from the usual kind. The method of crafting them has long been lost, but only our Tianzhao Sect still retains it and can cast them. These cannons are incredibly complex yet possess astonishing power, divided into lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, and top-tier categories. A lower-grade Crystal Might Cannon is hard for a Condensation Core Period cultivator to withstand, while a middle-grade one can hunt Infant Soul cultivators. As for the top-tier ones..."
"How about them?" Field Xiaojian said with great interest.
"Haha, even for a senior like you, it's uncertain whether you could withstand such a cannon." Páng Bó spoke proudly.
"Really?"
"I dare not lie; these Crystal Might Cannons are ancient artifacts. Our sect has replicated so many of them. Even if an old monster from the Separation Stage came to attack, thousands of cannons firing together would be enough to defeat them, but it's a pity how much crystal stones they consume." Páng Bó looked slightly disappointed as he spoke.
Field Xiaojian didn't say anything but watched the cylinders on the city walls with his eyes aglow.
Outside the city walls, in addition to the various-sized cylinders, there were many other restrictions and thousands of cultivators patrolling. However, Field Xiaojian's group entered the city without undergoing strict scrutiny.
After all, a mere senior cultivator causing trouble at the main base of the Tianzhao Sect would be asking for a fight. No one would do such a foolish thing.
The streets inside the city were wide and lined with various pavilions and buildings. Páng Bó led Field Xiaojian directly to an elegant palace. It was a two-story building.
"Senior, please take a seat. You've come here to buy something, but I'm just a disciple responsible for patrolling. This matter needs to be reported to the other officials," Páng Bó said apologetically, fearing he might offend this powerful old monster.
Field Xiaojian nodded without showing any displeasure. Compared to other Infant Soul cultivators, Field Xiaojian seemed quite adept at handling situations. Páng Bó used a sound transmission talisman.
Just half a cup of tea later, the door of the pavilion was pushed open, and a woman walked in. She looked no more than twenty-three or four but had already entered the Infant Soul Stage. Although Field Xiaojian's keen eyesight revealed she had just advanced, it was still impressive.
"Salutations, Senior Aunt," Páng Bó said with respect as he bowed to her.
However, she ignored him and fixed her gaze on Field Xiaojian's face. Her divine sense swept over him, causing a look of surprise to appear on her pretty face—indeed, this was an advanced-stage senior cultivator.
She curtsied and smiled slightly: "I am Xue Qiaoyun, the outer hall elder. May I ask your name?"
"My name is Li Yaotian; I'm just a wandering cultivator," Field Xiaojian said with a smile, not revealing his true identity.
Xue Qiaoyun's eyes flashed with confusion. The name "Li Yaotian" was unfamiliar; a wandering cultivator? Could the other party be one of those reclusive old monsters who never left their seclusion? Ah, Páng Nien-ni mentioned that he had never heard of Crystal Might Cannons, so it was indeed possible that this was an advanced-stage cultivator who had been secluded for a long time.
Xue Qiaoyun's mind raced but her face remained smiling. She waved her hand, and the three cultivators bowed respectfully before retreating.
Xue Qiaoyun came to Field Xiaojian's side and personally brewed him some spiritual tea: "Senior Li, what do you wish to buy here?"
"Haha, Lady Fairy, your words are so direct. I won't be coy either. I admire the prowess of your sect and want to purchase a few puppets for fun. Do you think you can make such a decision?" Field Xiaojian said with a smile.
"Puppets?" Xue Qiaoyun was taken aback. She had expected him to buy elixirs or magical artifacts, but she didn't expect him to be interested in puppets.
