lín xuān chū shǒu kuò chuò , mán niú zì rán yuè fā yòng xīn le , huà yīn wèi luò , jiù yǐ jīng mài kāi dà bù xiàng chéng shì de zhōng xīn zǒu qù le .
林轩出手阔绰,蛮牛自然越发用心了,话音未落,就已经迈开大步像城市的中心走去了.
Lin Xuan's expenditure was generous, and the ox naturally became even more meticulous in his actions. Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan had already taken large steps toward the center of the city.
“ bù yòng xīn jí “
“不用心急“
"Don't rush."
lín xuān què jiāng tā huàn zhù , suí hòu zhāo shǒu jiào lái le yī liàng shòu chē .
林轩却将他唤住,随后招手叫来了一辆兽车.
He stopped him and called over a carriage with a wave. In Bai Fu City, although there were no restrictions on flying, outsiders from the demon race rarely used their spiritual artifacts for transportation due to respect towards the host family. Consequently, many carriages pulled by magical beasts had emerged in the city.
wèi le biǎo shì duì fù jiā de zūn zhòng , bái fú chéng zhōng suī rán méi yǒu jìn kōng jìn zhì , dàn wài lái de mó zú , yě shǎo yǒu yù qì fēi xíng de , yú shì chéng zhōng jiù yìng yùn ér shēng le bù shǎo dài bù de shòu chē .
为了表示对付家的尊重,白浮城中虽然没有禁空禁制,但外来的魔族,也少有驭器飞行的,于是城中就应运而生了不少代步的兽车.
These carriages were driven by creatures resembling spiders and could accommodate several people comfortably. The ox did not dare sit next to Lin Xuan but stood beside him with his hands clasped respectfully.
zhè zhǒng shòu chē shì yóu yī xíng rú zhī zhū de mó shòu lā chě , lǐ miàn pǒ wèi kuān kuò , tóng shí róng nà shù rén yě méi yǒu wèn tí , mán niú zì rán bù gǎn yǔ lín xuān zuò zài yì qǐ , zài páng biān shù shǒu ér lì .
这种兽车是由一形如蜘蛛的魔兽拉扯,里面颇为宽阔,同时容纳数人也没有问题,蛮牛自然不敢与林轩坐在一起,在旁边束手而立.
After a short while, they arrived. Just half a cup of tea later, the carriage stopped before a series of houses appeared in front.
hěn kuài jiù dào le , jǐn jǐn guò le xiǎo bàn zhǎn chá de dà , nà shòu chē jiù tíng le xià lái , qián miàn chū xiàn le yī jiān jiān de fáng wū .
很快就到了,仅仅过了小半盏茶的大,那兽车就停了下来,前面出现了一间间的房屋.
Lin Xuan's expression turned disapproving as he scanned the scene. "This is rather too shabby."
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò , liǎn sè zé yǒu xiē nán kàn le .“ zhè wèi miǎn yě tài jiǎn lòu le .
林轩目光扫过,脸色则有些难看了.“这未免也太简陋了.
Although Bai Fu City was desolate and dilapidated, one would expect at least some repairs for an inn that hosted outsiders. Did the Fuye family understand hospitality?
suī rán zhěng zuò bái fú chéng dōu huāng liáng pò bài , dàn àn lǐ shuō , zhāo dài wài lái xiū shì de yì guǎn , duō shǎo hái shì yīng gāi xiū shàn , zhè fù jiā , jiū jìng dǒng bù dǒng dài kè zhī dào .
虽然整座白浮城都荒凉破败,但按理说,招待外来修士的驿馆,多少还是应该修缮,这付家,究竟懂不懂待客之道.
Though Lin Xuan inwardly scoffed, his demeanor remained calm on the surface.
xīn zhōng fù fěi , dāng rán biǎo miàn shàng , lín xuān hái shì hěn kuài jiù shén sè rú cháng .
心中腹诽,当然表面上,林轩还是很快就神色如常.
Any initial doubts about having come to the wrong place were dispelled as he saw many demons entering and leaving. He decided not to dwell on it; a little shabbiness was fine since he had no intention of staying here for cultivation but merely for one year.
yuán běn hái yǒu yì diǎn huái yí lái cuò le dì fāng , bù guò mù guāng sǎo guò , kàn jiàn le hěn duō jìn jìn chū chū de mó zú , yú shì lín xuān jiù jiāng gù lǜ dǎ xiāo diào le . pò bài yì diǎn jiù pò bài yì diǎn , fǎn zhèng zì jǐ yòu méi cái dǎ suàn zài zhè lǐ xiū liàn , zhǐ shì dài shàng yī nián .
原本还有一点怀疑来错了地方,不过目光扫过,看见了很多进进出出的魔族,于是林轩就将顾虑打消掉了.破败一点就破败一点,反正自己又没才打算在这里修炼,只是待上一年.
With this in mind, Lin Xuan remained composed, his sleeves fluttering slightly as several demon stones appeared, sending the ox away.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe , lín xuān yě jiù píng xīn jìng qì , xiù páo yī nán , jǐ kuài mó shí xiǎn xiàn ér chū , jiāng mán niú yǔ nà shòu chē dǎ fā zǒu le .
心中如此想着,林轩也就平心静气,袖袍一楠,几块魔石显现而出,将蛮牛与那兽车打发走了.
He then scanned the buildings before entering what seemed to be the largest one.
suí hòu lín xuān mù guāng zài yǎn qián de jiàn zhù shàng sǎo guò , zǒu jìn le suàn shì zuì wèi gāo dà de yī zuò .
随后林轩目光在眼前的建筑上扫过,走进了算是最为高大的一座.
Half an hour later, Lin Xuan emerged from inside with a black bone tile in hand, engraved with a series of numbers: 123. This was clearly his rented room.
bàn gè shí chén yǐ hòu , lín xuān cóng lǐ miàn chū lái , shǒu zhōng duō chū le yī hēi sè de gǔ pái , shàng miàn hái kè yǒu yī chuàn shù zì , yì bǎi èr shí sān , bú yòng shuō , zhè jiù shì lín xuān zū zhù de fáng jiān .
半个时辰以后,林轩从里面出来,手中多出了一黑色的骨牌,上面还刻有一串数字,一百二十三,不用说,这就是林轩租住的房间.
Lin Xuan did not search each room individually but released his divine sense. He soon found something and walked towards the left front.
lín xuān dāng rán bú huì yī jiān āi yī jiān de sōu suǒ , ér shì jiāng shén shí fàng chū . hěn kuài jiù yǒu le shōu huò , mài bù xiàng zuǒ qián fāng zǒu qù le .
林轩当然不会一间挨一间的搜索,而是将神识放出.很快就有了收获,迈步像左前方走去了.
After another cup of tea, Lin Xuan arrived at a stone house.
yī zhǎn chá de dà yǐ hòu , lín xuān lái dào yī zuò shí wū de miàn qián .
一盏茶的大以后,林轩来到一座石屋的面前.
This house was built from thick gray stones, which were familiar to him. Back when he first started on his cultivation path in Drifting Cloud Valley as a low-ranking disciple, he had lived in such houses. It seemed that time and circumstances had changed, but he still found himself in a similar situation in the Ancient Demon Realm.
zhè shí wū , shì yóu nà zhǒng shí fēn hòu zhòng de qīng shí duī qì ér chéng de , lín xuān bìng bù mò shēng , dāng nián tā gāng gāng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù , zài piāo yún gǔ zuò yī míng dī jiē dì zǐ de shí hòu jū zhù de jiù shì zhè yàng de shí wū , méi xiǎng dào shì yì shí yí , qiān nián guò qù . zì jǐ zài gǔ mó jiè , yòu yǒu le zhè yàng de jīng lì .
这石屋,是由那种十分厚重的青石堆砌而成的,林轩并不陌生,当年他刚刚踏上修仙之路,在飘云谷做一名低阶弟子的时候居住的就是这样的石屋,没想到事易时移,千年过去.自己在古魔界,又有了这样的经历.
Lin Xuan shook his head but did not dwell on it too much. He held the bone tile in his left hand and gently flicked it. A rumbling sound filled his ears as black light flickered, and the door of the stone house opened with a loud bang.
lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu , què yě méi yǒu xiǎng tài duō , zuǒ shǒu niē zhe nà gǔ pái . qīng qīng yī huǎng , hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , zhǐ jiàn hēi guāng lüè yī shǎn shuò , nà shí wū de mén jiù hōng rán dǎ kāi le .
林轩摇了摇头,却也没有想太多,左手捏着那骨牌.轻轻一晃,轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵,只见黑光略一闪烁,那石屋的门就轰然打开了.
The room was brightened by the sudden light. It was about twenty square meters, spacious but extremely simple, containing only a table, a chair, and several cushions for meditation.
yǎn qián yī liàng , yí gè èr shí yú wén de fáng jiān yìng rù yǎn lián , miàn jī dào hái suàn kuān chǎng , bù guò què jiǎn lòu yì cháng , zhǐ yǒu yī zhuō yī yǐ , hái yǒu jǐ gè pú tuán , kě yǐ gōng xiū shì dǎ zuò .
眼前一亮,一个二十余文的房间映入眼帘,面积倒还算宽敞,不过却简陋异常,只有一桌一椅,还有几个蒲团,可以供修士打坐.
Lin Xuan stepped inside.
lín xuān mài bù zǒu jìn qù le .
林轩迈步走进去了.
Such a humble abode had little to be tidied up. He casually took out an array flag and set it up around him. Though not particularly effective, it could serve as a warning system, which was enough.
rú cǐ jiǎn lòu de jū suǒ . yě méi yǒu shén me zhí de shōu shí de , lín xuān suí biàn qǔ chū yī tào zhèn qí , zài zhōu wéi bù zhì xià le , méi yǒu tài dà de zuò yòng , bù guò què néng gòu qǐ dào yù jǐng de xiào guǒ , zhè jiù yǐ jīng gòu le .
如此简陋的居所.也没有什么值得收拾的,林轩随便取出一套阵旗,在周围布置下了,没有太大的作用,不过却能够起到预警的效果,这就已经够了.
He then pulled over another cushion and began meditating, though not for the purpose of cultivating his abilities in this unfamiliar place. It would be too risky to do so here.
suí hòu lín xuān lā guò yī zhāng pú tuán , kāi shǐ dǎ zuò , dāng rán bú shì zhēn zhèng xiū xí shén tōng shù , zài yí gè mò shēng de dì diǎn nà yàng zuò tài mào xiǎn le .
随后林轩拉过一张蒲团,开始打坐,当然不是真正修习神通术,在一个陌生的地点那样做太冒险了.
Instead, he merely regulated his breath and slowly circulated the energy within him.
jǐn jǐn shì tiáo lǐ yī xià qì xī . huǎn huǎn yùn zhuàn tǐ è nèi de lì .
仅仅是调理一下气息.缓缓运转体垩内的力.
Though unsuitable for cultivation, time was not wasted. Such a level of meditation could still enhance his energy.
zhè ge dì fāng suī bú shì hé xiū xíng , dàn shí jiān yě méi yǒu bái bái làng fèi de dào lǐ .
这个地方虽不适合修行,但时间也没有白白浪费的道理.
Time passed unnoticed as Lin Xuan walked around the inn. According to the ox, on the first and fifteenth days of each month, the Fuye family would host small exchange markets. Since he had nothing better to do, it wouldn't hurt to take a look. Moreover, he could assess the Fuye family's talisman-making capabilities.
zhè hé chéng dù de dǎ zuò , duō shǎo yě néng zēng jìn yì diǎn lì de .
这和程度的打坐,多少也能增进一点力的.
With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan left his residence. Although he had been living a secluded life recently, gathering information about such events was not difficult.
shí jiān jiù zhè yàng zài bù zhī bù jué zhōng guò qù le , yī huǎng yǎn yǐ shì shí wǔ , jù nà ge jiào mán niú de mó zú suǒ shuō , měi yuè chū yī shí wǔ de rì zi , fù jiā dū huì jǔ bàn xiǎo xíng de jiāo huàn jí shì .
时间就这样在不知不觉中过去了,一晃眼已是十五,据那个叫蛮牛的魔族所说,每月初一十五的日子,付家都会举办小型的交换集市.
In fact, many outsiders would not miss this day, and the number of ancient demons on the streets increased significantly. Following them led him to an open space where a long valley filled with strange flowers and plants could be seen.
suī rán cān jiā de dà duō shì zhōng dī jiē dì zǐ , dàn fǎn zhèng xián lái wú shì , qù kàn yī kàn yě bú huì dān gē shén me .
虽然参加的大多是中低阶弟子,但反正闲来无事,去看一看也不会耽搁什么.
The area was vast, covering over a hundred acres, and while there weren't as many people as in a crowded market, there were still many buyers and sellers haggling loudly.
ér qiě yě kě yǐ kǎo chá yī xià fù jiā zhì fú de shí lì jiū jìng rú hé . suī rán tiān guǐ shàng rén wàn wàn bù gǎn qī piàn zì jǐ , bù guò lín xuān gèng xiāng xìn yǎn jiàn wèi shí .
而且也可以考察一下付家制符的实力究竟如何.虽然天鬼上人万万不敢欺骗自己,不过林轩更相信眼见为实.
Lin Xuan smiled; he did not see any fixed shops here. All the cultivators were setting up stalls.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe , lín xuān zǒu chū le zhù chù , zhè xiē tiān tā suī rán shēn jū qiǎn chū , dàn xiàng fú lù jiāo yì huì jǔ bàn dì zhè yàng de xiāo xī , dǎ tīng qǐ lái hái shì méi yǒu fēn háo de nán dù .
心中如此想着,林轩走出了住处,这些天他虽然深居浅出,但像符箓交易会举办地这样的消息,打听起来还是没有分毫的难度.
This reminded him of his first time attending a market when he was just starting out. A thousand years had passed since then, and Lin Xuan felt a tinge of nostalgia. However, it wasn't the moment to dwell on such feelings.
zhèng què de shuō , gēn běn bù xū yào dǎ tīng shén me .
正确的说,根本不需要打听什么.
He walked into the valley.
yīn wèi hěn duō wài lái de mó zú dōu bú huì jiāng zhè yī tiān cuò guò . jiē dào shàng de gǔ mó míng xiǎn duō le hěn duō , zhǐ xū yào gēn zhe tā men zǒu jiù kě yǐ le .
因为很多外来的魔族都不会将这一天错过.街道上的古魔明显多了很多,只需要跟着他们走就可以了.
"Spirit talismans, spirit talismans! High-quality talismans for both attack and defense at great discounts. Buy in bulk and get an 80% discount."
bàn gè shí chén zhī hòu . lín xuān lái dào yī piàn kòng dì zhī shàng , zhè lǐ kàn qǐ lái kōng kōng dàng dàng . pǒ wèi huāng liáng , rán ér luò zài lín xuān de yǎn zhōng , què kě yǐ gǎn jué dào sī sī lì de dàng yàng .
半个时辰之后.林轩来到一片空地之上,这里看起来空空荡荡.颇为荒凉,然而落在林轩的眼中,却可以感觉到丝丝力的荡漾.
"Come take a look, come see. Miss this market, miss this shop!"
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī dòng , zhuǎn guò tóu lú , zhǐ jiàn páng biān yī míng mó zú zài shēn shàng yī mō , suí hòu qǔ chū yī qǐng jiǎn mú yàng zhī wù , wēi wēi yī huǎng , huà wèi yī tuán hēi sè de huǒ guāng , mò rù xū kōng , bú jiàn le zōng jì .
林轩心中一动,转过头颅,只见旁边一名魔族在身上一摸,随后取出一请柬模样之物,微微一晃,化为一团黑色的火光,没入虚空,不见了踪迹.
"High-grade spirit talismans on sale, all sold at a loss."
suí hòu yī tiáo wān wān qū qū de xiǎo lù chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ .
随后一条弯弯曲曲的小路出现在了视线里.
The calls of the vendors filled his ears, leaving Lin Xuan speechless. Fortunately, such unrestrained ancient demons were few and far between; most Fuye family members were still diligently setting up their stalls.
bái fú chéng chú le yǒu fù jiā zhī rén jū zhù , hái yǒu bù shǎo pǔ tōng de fán mó , zhè ge bì yǎn shì wèi le fáng zhǐ tā men chuǎng rù ér shè jì de .
白浮城除了有付家之人居住,还有不少普通的凡魔,这个陛眼是为了防止他们闯入而设计的.
Indeed, they were mostly low to mid-rank cultivators, with many in the condensation core and foundation establishment stages. The highest was at the yuanxian level. Lin Xuan even saw a few flexible spirit period cultivators.
luò zài lín xuān zhè yàng de gāo shǒu yǎn lǐ , zì rán shì bù zhí yī xiào de dōng xī .
落在林轩这样的高手眼里,自然是不值一笑的东西.
Their strength gave an idea of how skilled they were in making talismans, though not exceptionally so. The stalls before them were mostly deserted.
lín xuān shēn xíng yī huǎng , jiù chū xiàn zài le nà tiáo xiǎo lù shàng .
林轩身形一晃,就出现在了那条小路上.
The Fuye family might be ancient demons, but their appearance did not differ much from human cultivators; they looked decent enough. In contrast, the outsiders had a wide variety of appearances.
piàn kè hòu , lái dào xiǎo lù de jìn tóu , zhèn zhèn xiāng qì qìn rén xīn pí , yī zhǎng mǎn qí huā yì cǎo de shān gǔ yìng rù yǎn lián lǐ .
片刻后,来到小路的尽头,阵阵香气沁人心脾,一长满奇花异草的山谷映入眼帘里.
This was the general situation of the valley. With his strong divine sense, Lin Xuan quickly surveyed it and got a rough idea.
miàn jī pǒ wèi guǎng bó , zú yǒu bǎi mǔ zhī duō , lǐ miàn de mó zú tán bù shàng mó jiān jiē zhǒng , dàn yě shì rén tóu zǎn yǒng , jiào mài shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ huǒ , hái yǒu bù shǎo tǎo jià huán jià de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ .
面积颇为广博,足有百亩之多,里面的魔族谈不上摩肩接踵,但也是人头攒涌,叫卖声此起彼伙,还有不少讨价还价的声音传入耳朵.
He then walked around leisurely in the valley with an indifferent expression.
Lin Xuan's expenditure was generous, and the ox naturally became even more meticulous in his actions. Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan had already taken large steps toward the center of the city.
"Don't rush."
He stopped him and called over a carriage with a wave.

After a short while, they arrived. Just half a cup of tea later, the carriage stopped before a series of houses appeared in front.
