miàn duì rú cǐ duō de gāo shǒu ， lín xuān wēi wēi dī xià tou ， biàn shì nà fēi yáng tiào tuō de tián xiǎo jiàn ， cǐ shí yě yī gǎi xī xiào de shén sè ， liǎng rén mò bù zuò shēng de lái dào yī piān pì de jiǎo luò 。
面对如此多的高手，林轩微微低下头，便是那飞扬跳脱的田小剑，此时也一改嬉笑的神色，两人默不做声的来到一偏僻的角落。
Faced with so many powerful cultivators, Lin Xuan slightly lowered his head. Even Tian Xiaojian, who was usually lively and mischievous, had changed his playful expression as well. The two of them silently made their way to a secluded corner.
lín xuān shén shí suī rán jīng rén ， dàn cǐ kè zì rán bù gǎn zào cì ， jǐn jǐn shì yòng mù guāng qiāo qiāo dǎ liàng zhe zhōu wéi de qíng jǐng 。
林轩神识虽然惊人，但此刻自然不敢造次，仅仅是用目光悄悄打量着周围的情景。
Lin Xuan’s divine sense was impressive, but he dared not act rashly at this moment. He merely glanced around with his eyes.
hěn kuài ， yí gè shú xī de shēn yǐng luò rù le yǎn lián zhōng 。
很快，一个熟悉的身影落入了眼帘中。
Soon, a familiar figure caught his eye.
yǔ tā men yī tóng huò dé zī gé de zhù jī qī xiū zhēn zhě 。
与他们一同获得资格的筑基期修真者。
One of the Foundation Establishment period cultivators who had also qualified alongside them.
tā yī rán shì yī shēn chì hóng dào páo ， lái de bǐ tā men hái yào shāo zǎo ， zhèng shén sè gōng jìng de zhàn zài yī níng dān qī xiū shì de shēn hòu ， dàn liǎng rén què yòu bù xiàng shī tú ， zhǎng dé pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， huò xǔ shì yǒu xuè yuán guān xì de yuán gù 。
他依然是一身赤红道袍，来得比他们还要稍早，正神色恭敬的站在一凝丹期修士的身后，但两人却又不像师徒，长得颇有几分相似之处，或许是有血缘关系的缘故。
He still wore a crimson Dao robe and arrived slightly earlier than they did. He stood respectfully behind a Condensation Core stage cultivator, but they didn't seem to be master and disciple; their appearances were quite similar, perhaps due to familial ties.
zhè méi shén me hào qí guài de ， zài yōu zhōu ， dà de xiū zhēn jiā zú ， bìng bù fá níng dān qī gāo shǒu 。
这没什么好奇怪的，在幽州，大的修真家族，并不乏凝丹期高手。
This wasn’t strange at all. In Youzhou, there weren’t a few powerful Condensation Core stage cultivators in large cultivation families.
qià qiǎo ， xǔ hàn yě zhèng hǎo wàng le guò lái ， liǎng rén mù guāng xiāng chù ， xǔ hàn yǎn zhōng de dí yì háo bù jì huì de xiǎn lù 。
恰巧，许翰也正好望了过来，两人目光相触，许翰眼中的敌意毫不忌讳的显露。
Just then, Xu Han also looked over, and their eyes met. The hostility in his gaze was unhidden.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī dòng ， suí jí ruò wú qí shì de jiāng tóu zhuǎn guò qù le 。
林轩心中一动，随即若无其事的将头转过去了。
Lin Xuan’s heart stirred slightly before he casually turned away.
yòu děng le yuē yǒu yī zhù xiāng zhī jiǔ ， lù xù yǒu xīn de xiū shì jìn rù dào dà diàn lǐ miàn ， quán dōu shì níng dān qī gāo shǒu ， rán ér zhèng mó shuāng fāng què yí gè yě méi yǒu 。
又等了约有一炷香之久，陆续有新的修士进入到大殿里面，全都是凝丹期高手，然而正魔双方却一个也没有。
Another incense stick’s worth of time passed as more cultivators entered the grand hall one by one, all at Condensation Core stage. However, neither the righteous nor the evil sides were present.
shí jiān jì xù liú shì ， rán ér zhòng rén què sī háo méi yǒu bù nài de biǎo qíng ， bì jìng shì xiū xiān zhě ， liàn de jiù shì yǎng xīn zhī shù ， zhè diǎn nài xīn hái shì yǒu de 。
时间继续流逝，然而众人却丝毫没有不耐的表情，毕竟是修仙者，练的就是养心之术，这点耐心还是有的。
Time continued to pass, but everyone showed no signs of impatience. After all, these were cultivators who practiced the art of cultivating the heart; they had some patience.
zhī ya ， yī lüè dài chén zhòng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì dà diàn lìng yī tóu de mén bèi dǎ kāi le ， cóng wài miàn zǒu jìn lái yī wèi xū fà jiē bái de huáng páo lǎo zhě 。。 qí tā xiū shì wén shēng dōu zhuǎn guò tóu qù ， bù shǎo rén de liǎn shàng hái liú lù chū lüè dài gōng jìng de biǎo qíng 。
吱呀，一略带沉重的声音传入耳朵，却是大殿另一头的门被打开了，从外面走进来一位须发皆白的黄袍老者。。其他修士闻声都转过头去，不少人的脸上还流露出略带恭敬的表情。
A creaking sound entered his ears as a door at the other end of the hall was opened. A white-haired old man in a yellow robe walked in from outside. Other cultivators turned to look, and many wore expressions of respect.
cǐ lǎo zhě róng mào píng fán ， rán ér xiū wèi què dào le jiǎ yīng zhī jìng ， zhèng shì tiān mù pài dāng jīn zhǎng mén 。 kū mù zhēn rén 。
此老者容貌平凡，然而修为却到了假婴之境，正是天目派当今掌门。枯木真人。
This old man’s appearance was unremarkable, but his cultivation had reached the False婴 realm. He was the current patriarch of the Tianmu Sect, Dried Wood Immortal.
kū mù zhēn rén lái dào dà diàn qián miàn ， miàn duì wēi xiào de chōng zhe zhòng rén lüè yī bào quán ：“ huān yíng gè wèi tóng dào lái dào wǒ tiān mù shān ， xià miàn jiù qǐng dà jiā jiāng xiǎng yào jiāo huàn dì wù pǐn ná chū lái 。”
枯木真人来到大殿前面，面对微笑的冲着众人略一抱拳：“欢迎各位同道来到我天目山，下面就请大家将想要交换地物品拿出来。”
Dried Wood Immortal came to the front of the grand hall and smiled as he slightly bowed towards everyone: "Welcome all fellow cultivators to our Tianmu Mountain. Please take out the items you wish to exchange."
“ hǎo shuō ， hǎo shuō 。”
“好说，好说。”
"Of course, of course."
qí tā níng dān qī gāo shǒu yě dōu huí lǐ wēi xiào ， rán ér què méi yǒu rén dòng shǒu ， yuán yīn wú tā 。 dà jiā cǐ xíng de mù dì zhǔ yào hái shì tiān mù shān tè yǒu de dōng xī ， fǒu zé níng dān qī xiū shì de jiāo yì huì bǐ bǐ jiē shì ， hé bì qiān lǐ tiáo tiáo lái dào zhè huāng pì zhī dì 。
其他凝丹期高手也都回礼微笑，然而却没有人动手，原因无他。大家此行的目的主要还是天目山特有的东西，否则凝丹期修士的交易会比比皆是，何必千里迢迢来到这荒僻之地。
The other Condensation Core stage cultivators returned his smile in kind but didn't make a move. The reason was simple; their main goal here was the unique offerings from the Tianmu Sect. Otherwise, there would be countless transactions between Condensation Core stage cultivators all over the place, why go to such great lengths just for this?
duì yú cǐ ， kū mù zhēn rén yě shì xīn zhī dù míng ， gāng gāng zhǐ bù guò shì kè qì de yán yǔ ， lüè yī chén yín zhī hòu ， jiù kāi kǒu le ：“ jì rán zhū wèi dào yǒu qiān ràng 。 nà me jiù ràng lǎo fū lái gè pāo zhuān yǐn yù rú hé ？”
对于此，枯木真人也是心知肚明，刚刚只不过是客气的言语，略一沉吟之后，就开口了：“既然诸位道友谦让。那么就让老夫来个抛砖引玉如何？”
Dried Wood Immortal understood this as well. He merely offered polite words before speaking after a moment of thought: "Since everyone is being considerate, let old man throw in a few pebbles to start."
“ zhēn rén qǐng biàn jiù shì 。”
“真人请便就是。”
"Immortal please," they responded.
lín xuān dì zhù yì lì yě tóng yàng jí zhōng dào le qián miàn 。 suī rán míng zhī dào ， páng biān zhè xiē gāo jiē xiū shì ， yí gè gè kěn dìng shēn jiā bù fēi ， hǎo zài wàn xiàng cǎo chú le liàn zhì níng shén dān yǐ wài ， bìng méi yǒu shén me qí tā de chū zhòng yòng tú 。 zhǐ yào bù chū xiàn yǒu rén gù yì zhǎo chá ， yǔ zì jǐ xiāng zhēng de huà 。 yīng gāi yě kě yǐ jiāng ná xià 。
林轩地注意力也同样集中到了前面。虽然明知道，旁边这些高阶修士，一个个肯定身家不菲，好在万象草除了炼制凝神丹以外，并没有什么其他的出众用途。只要不出现有人故意找茬，与自己相争的话。应该也可以将拿下。
Lin Xuan’s attention was also focused on the front. Although he knew that these high-ranking cultivators were all wealthy, it was fortunate that the Immortal Grass could only be used for refining Spirit Concentration Pills and had no other remarkable uses. As long as no one deliberately caused trouble to compete with him, he should be able to secure his share.
jiàn zhòng rén méi yǒu yì yì ， kū mù zhēn rén xiù páo yī fú ， shēn qián jiù duō le sān gè xiǎo hé ， fēn bié yóu yī céng lán guāng tuō zhe ， xuán fú zài bàn kōng zhī zhōng 。
见众人没有异议，枯木真人袖袍一拂，身前就多了三个小盒，分别由一层蓝光托着，悬浮在半空之中。
Seeing no objections, Dried Wood Immortal waved his sleeves, and three small boxes appeared before him, each suspended in mid-air by a layer of blue light.
dào fǎ xuán miào ， lìng rén tàn wéi guān zhǐ ， bù guò zài zuò de nà yí gè bú shì jiàn duō shí guǎng ， dào yě méi yǒu rén liú lù chū yì sè 。
道法玄妙，令人叹为观止，不过在座的那一个不是见多识广，倒也没有人流露出异色。
The Daoist techniques were marvelously intricate, but the other cultivators, who had seen much, showed no surprise.
kū mù zhēn rén qū zhǐ yī dàn ， yī dào bái guāng fēi shè ér chū ， hé gài dǎ kāi 。 fēi chū lái de què shì yī dào líng fú 。 cǐ fú yuē yǒu bàn gè bā zhǎng dà xiǎo ， qīng guāng shǎn shǎn 。 shàng miàn yǐn yǐn yǒu jīn sè de wén zì ruò yǐn ruò xiàn ， xiǎn de pǒ wèi bù fán 。
枯木真人屈指一弹，一道白光飞射而出，盒盖打开。飞出来的却是一道灵符。此符约有半个巴掌大小，青光闪闪。上面隐隐有金色的文字若隐若现，显得颇为不凡。
Dried Wood Immortal flicked his fingers, and a beam of white light shot out. The box lid opened to reveal a spirit talisman. This talisman was about half the size of a palm, shimmering with green light. There were faint golden characters that could barely be discerned, making it appear quite extraordinary.
cóng hái shì líng dòng qī de dī jiē xiū shì zhī shí ， lín xuān jiù yǔ fú jié xià le bù jiě zhī yuán ， zhè zhǒng jiāng fǎ shù fēng yìn qí zhōng ， zhàn dòu shí kě yǐ shùn fā dì bǎo wù shí fēn yǒu yòng 。
从还是灵动期的低阶修士之时，林轩就与符结下了不解之缘，这种将法术封印其中，战斗时可以瞬发地宝物十分有用。
Since he was still at the Flexible Spirit Period when he first encountered talismans, Lin Xuan had formed an unbreakable bond with them. These items, which sealed Daoist techniques and could be instantly activated in battle, were very useful.
rán ér yǎn qián dì líng fú xiǎn rán yǔ zì jǐ yǐ qián yòng guò de dà bù xiāng tóng ， nán dào shì ……
然而眼前地灵符显然与自己以前用过的大不相同，难道是……
However, the current spirit talisman before him seemed vastly different from those he had used earlier. Could it be...
xīn zhōng de niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn wán ， kū mù zhēn rén jiù fǔ xū kāi kǒu le ：“ cǐ nǎi bì pài liàn zhì de yī zhāng dì jiē zhōng jí fú ……”
心中的念头尚未转完，枯木真人就抚须开口了：“此乃敝派炼制的一张地阶中级符……”
Before his thoughts were fully formed, Dried Wood Immortal stroked his beard and spoke: "This is a middle-grade earth-stage talisman made by our sect..."
guǒ rán shì dì jiē fú ， lín xuān jù jīng huì shén de tīng zhe ， rán ér zhōu wéi dì qí tā xiū shì zé dà dū lù chū le shī wàng zhī sè ， suī rán yǔ rén jiē fú bù tóng ， dì jiē líng fú zài fāng shì zhōng hěn shǎo yǒu mǎi ， dàn duì níng dān qī xiū shì ér yán ， què bìng bù suàn shì hé děng de xī hǎn zhī wù ， gǎn xìng qù dì rén zì rán bù duō 。“
果然是地阶符，林轩聚精会神的听着，然而周围地其他修士则大都露出了失望之色，虽然与人阶符不同，地阶灵符在坊市中很少有买，但对凝丹期修士而言，却并不算是何等的稀罕之物，感兴趣地人自然不多。“
Sure enough, it was an earth-stage talisman. Lin Xuan listened intently as the other cultivators showed disappointment on their faces. Although different from human-stage talismans, which were rarely sold in markets, these spirit talismans weren’t considered particularly rare for Condensation Core stage cultivators; few people expressed interest.
kū mù zhēn rén jiāng zhòng rén de biǎo qíng yī yī jìn shōu yǎn dǐ ， liǎn shàng què méi yǒu liú lù chū sī háo de bù mǎn zhī yì ， jì xù wēi xiào zhe jiě shì ：“ bì pài suī rán piān chù běi jiāng ， shén tōng wú fǎ yǔ zài zuò de zhū wèi tóng dào xiāng bǐ ， dàn zài dùn shù yī dào ， què yě pǒ yǒu xīn dé ， cǐ fú fēng yìn de jiù shì bì pài de dì jiē zhōng jí fǎ shù ， shùn xī qiān lǐ le 。”
枯木真人将众人的表情一一尽收眼底，脸上却没有流露出丝毫的不满之意，继续微笑着解释：“敝派虽然偏处北疆，神通无法与在座的诸位同道相比，但在遁术一道，却也颇有心得，此符封印的就是敝派的地阶中级法术，瞬息千里了。”
Dried Wood Immortal observed everyone’s expressions but didn’t show any displeasure. He continued smiling and explained: "Although our sect is located in the northern border, our Daoist techniques can't compare to those of the present company. However, we have considerable expertise in evasive techniques. This talisman seals one of our earth-stage intermediate spells—Instantaneous Travel over a Thousand Miles."
“ shùn xī qiān lǐ ？”
“瞬息千里？”
"Instantaneous Travel over a Thousand Miles?"
yuán běn xìng zhì quē quē de xiū shì dùn shí sǒng rán dòng róng ， kū mù zhēn rén shàng miàn nà fān huà dāng rán shì kè qì de yán yǔ ， tiān mù pài rú jīn suī rán méi yǒu yuán yīng qī xiū shì ， dàn dào fǎ shén tōng yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yóu qí shì duì dí táo pǎo shí suǒ yòng de dùn shù ， gèng shì shén miào yǐ jí ， shùn xī qiān lǐ dāng rán kuā zhāng le xiē ， dàn ruò bú shì jìng jiè gāo chū duì fāng shèn duō ， huò zhě liàn yǒu tè shū gōng fǎ ， zhè shùn xī qiān lǐ de fǎ shù shī zhǎn chū lái ， xiǎng yào jiāng qí jié xià ， zhēn dì shì hěn bù róng yì 。
原本兴致缺缺的修士顿时耸然动容，枯木真人上面那番话当然是客气的言语，天目派如今虽然没有元婴期修士，但道法神通也非同小可，尤其是对敌逃跑时所用的遁术，更是神妙以极，瞬息千里当然夸张了些，但若不是境界高出对方甚多，或者练有特殊功法，这瞬息千里的法术施展出来，想要将其截下，真地是很不容易。
The originally uninterested cultivators were suddenly taken aback. Dried Wood Immortal’s words were merely polite talk. Although the Tianmu Sect didn’t have any True婴 cultivators, their Daoist techniques were formidable, especially for evasive maneuvers in battle. Instantaneous Travel over a Thousand Miles was indeed exaggerated, but if one wasn’t significantly more powerful or had special cultivation methods, it would be extremely difficult to intercept such a spell.
shù qiān nián lái ， bù zhī yǒu duō shǎo rén xiǎng guò tōu shī 。
数千年来，不知有多少人想过偷师。
For thousands of years, many people had thought about stealing these techniques.
rán ér tiān mù pài dì dào fǎ què yǔ zhòng bù tóng ， suī rán bù xiàng guǐ dào shén tōng yǒu yīn líng lì de zhàng ài ， dàn xīn jìng shàng què jiǎng jiū rù shì ， zhè yǔ yì bān xuán mén mì shù jiǎng jiū xīn ruò zhǐ shuǐ ， bù shòu shì sú zhī rǎo dì yào jué wán quán bù tóng ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō shì bèi dào ér chí ， gé gé bù rù 。
然而天目派地道法却与众不同，虽然不像鬼道神通有阴灵力的障碍，但心境上却讲究入世，这与一般玄门秘术讲究心若止水，不受世俗之扰地要诀完全不同，甚至可以说是背道而驰，格格不入。
However, the Tianmu Sect’s Daoist techniques were unique. Unlike the ghostly arts that had obstacles with阴灵力, their focus on worldly matters was different from the general principles of cultivation that required a still mind and detachment from secular affairs. It could even be said to be in opposition to such principles, making it difficult for others to learn this secret technique.
huàn jù huà shuō ， bié pài zhī rén jiù suàn ná dào shùn xī qiān lǐ de fǎ jué ， yě wú fǎ jiāng cǐ mì shù xué huì 。
换句话说，别派之人就算拿到瞬息千里的法诀，也无法将此秘术学会。
However, the current spirit talisman was different; the Instantaneous Travel over a Thousand Miles spell had already been sealed within it, allowing one to easily activate it by injecting some essence energy.
rán ér yǎn qián de líng fú què yòu bù tóng ， shùn xī qiān lǐ de fǎ shù yǐ jīng fēng yìn qí zhōng ， zhǐ yào shāo shāo zhù rù líng lì jiù kě yǐ qīng yì qū dòng 。
然而眼前的灵符却又不同，瞬息千里的法术已经封印其中，只要稍稍注入灵力就可以轻易驱动。
Although having this treasure didn’t guarantee an extra life, encountering danger and escaping unscathed would be much more likely.
suī rán bù néng shuō yǒu le cǐ bǎo jiù duō le yī tiáo xìng mìng ， dàn zhì shǎo yù jiàn wēi xiǎn ， néng gòu quán shēn ér tuì de jī lǜ jiāng zēng dà bù shǎo 。
虽然不能说有了此宝就多了一条性命，但至少遇见危险，能够全身而退的几率将增大不少。
Many cultivators were already rubbing their hands in anticipation.
bù shǎo rén yǐ jīng zài mó quán cā zhǎng 。
不少人已经在摩拳擦掌。
"May I ask Immortal, who made this spirit talisman?" A black-robed cultivator swallowed a mouthful of saliva before speaking up.
“ qǐng wèn zhēn rén ， cǐ líng fú shì yóu shuí zhì zuò ？” yī hēi páo xiū shì yàn le kǒu tuò mò ， tū rán kāi kǒu xiāng xún 。
“请问真人，此灵符是由谁制作？”一黑袍修士咽了口唾沫，突然开口相询。
Everyone was taken aback, showing interest. This fellow had keen thoughts; the same spell could have vastly different effects depending on who cast it.
zhòng rén yí zhèng ， yě dōu lù chū guān zhù de biǎo qíng ， zhè wèi dào yǒu hái zhēn shì xīn sī líng mǐn ， yào zhī dào ， tóng yī zhǒng fǎ shù ， yóu bù tóng de rén shī zhǎn chū lái ， wēi lì yě shì dà xiāng jìng tíng 。
众人一怔，也都露出关注的表情，这位道友还真是心思灵敏，要知道，同一种法术，由不同的人施展出来，威力也是大相径庭。
"It was personally crafted by old man," Dried Wood Immortal smiled as he held the spirit talisman in his hand: "Any interested party can purchase it for two thousand pieces of crystal."
Faced with so many powerful cultivators, Lin Xuan slightly lowered his head. Even Tian Xiaojian, who was usually lively and mischievous, had changed his playful expression as well. The two of them silently made their way to a secluded corner.
Lin Xuan’s divine sense was impressive, but he dared not act rashly at this moment. He merely glanced around with his eyes.
Soon, a familiar figure caught his eye.
Xu Han!
One of the Foundation Establishment period cultivators who had also qualified alongside them.
He still wore a crimson Dao robe and arrived slightly earlier than they did. He stood respectfully behind a Condensation Core stage cultivator, but they didn't seem to be master and disciple; their appearances were quite similar, perhaps due to familial ties.

Time continued to pass, but everyone showed no signs of impatience. After all, these were cultivators who practiced the art of cultivating the heart; they had some patience.
A creaking sound entered his ears as a door at the other end of the hall was opened. A white-haired old man in a yellow robe walked in from outside. Other cultivators turned to look, and many wore expressions of respect.
This old man’s appearance was unremarkable, but his cultivation had reached the False婴 realm. He was the current patriarch of the Tianmu Sect, Dried Wood Immortal.
Dried Wood Immortal came to the front of the grand hall and smiled as he slightly bowed towards everyone: "Welcome all fellow cultivators to our Tianmu Mountain. Please take out the items you wish to exchange."
"Of course, of course."
The other Condensation Core stage cultivators returned his smile in kind but didn't make a move. The reason was simple; their main goal here was the unique offerings from the Tianmu Sect. Otherwise, there would be countless transactions between Condensation Core stage cultivators all over the place, why go to such great lengths just for this?
Dried Wood Immortal understood this as well. He merely offered polite words before speaking after a moment of thought: "Since everyone is being considerate, let old man throw in a few pebbles to start."
