第两千五百二十八章听风阁

Chapter 2528: Wind Listening Pavilion

yī zhù xiāng de gōng fu yǐ hòu ， lín xuān cóng zhè jiā bìng bù qǐ yǎn de diàn pù zhōng chū lái le ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè， zài wú gāng cái de yí shū mí qún 4∴⑧０㈥５

一炷香的功夫以后，林轩从这家并不起眼的店铺中出来了，脸上lù出满意之sè，再无刚才的疑书mí群4∴⑧０㈥５

After a stick of incense, Lin Xuan emerged from the unremarkable shop with a satisfied expression on his face, no longer showing any doubts.

nà diàn xiǎo èr de xiū wèi suī bù zhí yī tí ， dàn bì jìng shì zài zhè lǐ zuò le shù shí nián de shēng yì ， duì yú jiǔ xiān fāng shì de yī qiè ， nà shì shú jí ér liú dì ， suǒ yǐ méi fèi shén me lì ， jiù qīng sōng jiě dá le lín xuān xīn zhōng de wèn tí 。

那店小二的修为虽不值一提，但毕竟是在这里做了数十年的生意，对于九仙坊市的一切，那是熟极而流地，所以没费什么力，就轻松解答了林轩心中的问题。

Although the shopkeeper's cultivation was negligible, he had been doing business here for decades. He knew everything about Nine Immortals Market inside out, making it easy to answer Lin Xuan’s questions without much effort.

yuán lái ， cǐ fāng shì de lái tou ， shí zài shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bù jǐn shì piāo miǎo xiān dǎo zuì dà de ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， shì zhěng gè wú biān hǎi xiū xiān jiè ， suǒ yǒu fāng shì zhōng zuì wèi zhòng yào de yī zuò ， guī mó nà jiào yí gè páng bó ， kě yǐ shuō ， qí zhēn yì bǎo wú shù ， diàn pù de shù liàng ， yě shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。

原来，此坊市的来头，实在是非同小可，不仅是飘渺仙岛最大的，甚至可以说，是整个无边海修仙界，所有坊市中最为重要的一座，规模那叫一个磅礴，可以说，奇珍异宝无数，店铺的数量，也是数不胜数。

It turned out that this market held immense significance; not only was it the largest on Drifting Cloud Island, but it could be considered one of the most important markets in the entire Boundless Sea cultivation realm. The scale was staggering—filled with countless treasures and an uncountable number of shops.

jù tǐ yǒu duō shǎo jiā ， chú le fù zé guǎn lǐ de piāo miǎo xiān gōng ， lián tā men zhè xiē cháng nián jū zhù zài fāng shì zhōng de xiū shì yě bù qīng chǔ 。

具体有多少家，除了负责管理的缥缈仙宫，连他们这些常年居住在坊市中的修士也不清楚。

No one knew exactly how many there were, not even the administrators at the Ethereal Immortal Palace who managed this place.

zhè huà tīng qǐ lái bù kě sī yì ， dàn jué méi yǒu kuā dà qí cí ， yīn wèi fāng shì shí zài tài dà le xiē ， zuò shēng yì ， nán miǎn yǒu jīng yíng bù shàn dì ， shì sú rú cǐ ， xiū xiān jiè yì rú shì ， suǒ yǐ jī hū měi tiān ， dōu yǒu diàn pù guān mén huò shì zhuǎn shǒu ， tóng yàng de ， yě jī hū shì měi tiān ， dōu yǒu xīn diàn kāi zhāng 。

这话听起来不可思议，但绝没有夸大其词，因为坊市实在太大了些，做生意，难免有经营不善地，世俗如此，修仙界亦如是，所以几乎每天，都有店铺关mén或是转手，同样的，也几乎是每天，都有新店开张。

This sounded unbelievable, but it wasn't an exaggeration. Due to its vast size, some shops would inevitably close down or change hands daily, while new ones opened almost as frequently.

yīn wèi diàn pù shí zài tài duō ， ruò shì pái liè zài méi yǒu gè yāo qiú ， nà chū lái cǐ dì de xiū xiān zhě ， nán miǎn huì dà wèi tóu téng ， nán yǐ zhǎo dào zì jǐ xiǎng mǎi zhī wù 。

因为店铺实在太多，若是排列再没有个要求，那初来此地的修仙者，难免会大为头疼，难以找到自己想买之物。

With so many shops, if they weren’t organized, newcomers might struggle to find what they wanted. The Ethereal Immortal Palace didn’t allow this; they meticulously planned the layout of the market, grouping similar shops together for convenience.

piāo miǎo xiān gōng dāng rán bú huì fàng rèn zhè zhǒng shì qíng fā shēng le ， yú shì duì zhěng gè fāng shì de gé jú ， yě shì jīng xīn guī huà le yī fān dì 。

缥缈仙宫当然不会放任这种事情发生了，于是对整个坊市的格局，也是jīng心规划了一番地。

The entire market was divided into nine regions. Lin Xuan now held a jade cylinder in his hand and began to immerse his divine sense within it.

jiāng chū shòu xiāng tóng shì wù de tóng yī lèi diàn pù ， jù hé zài yì qǐ ， zhè yàng yī lái ， xiū shì zhǎo qǐ lái yě fāng biàn 。

将出售相同事物的同一类店铺，聚合在一起，这样一来，修士找起来也方便。

Inside the jade cylinder lay a map of the market. The shopkeeper from the spirit herb store had handed this to him just moments ago.

zhěng gè fāng shì ， yī gòng shì fēn wéi le jiǔ gè qū yù 。

整个坊市，一共是分为了九个区域。

This situation left Lin Xuan speechless; such a large market required a map. He had traveled to many places with extensive knowledge, but he had never heard of needing one before.

cǐ kè ， lín xuān shǒu zhōng ， jiù wò zhe yī jié bái de yù tóng jiǎn ， bìng yī biān zǒu ， yī biān jiāng shén shí chén rù 。

此刻，林轩手中，就握着一洁白的yù瞳简，并一边走，一边将神识沉入。

However, based on all the signs, Nine Immortals Market truly held something extraordinary. This also gave Lin Xuan a new appreciation for the Ethereal Immortal Palace’s power.

yù tóng jiǎn zhōng ， shì fāng shì de dì tú 。

yù瞳简中，是坊市的地图。

As they say, you can judge a book by its cover; controlling such a market was no ordinary feat. The Ethereal Immortal Palace was indeed the first force in this realm.

cǐ wù shì gāng gāng nà líng yào diàn de huǒ jì ，jiāo gěi lín xuān dì 。

此物是刚刚那灵yào店的伙计，jiāo给林轩地。

The difficulty of obtaining their treasure would be immense, but since he had promised Princess Xianger, Lin Xuan couldn’t back down.

zhè yàng de qíng kuàng ， ràng lín xuān yī zhèn wú yǔ ， fāng shì dà dào yào yòng dì tú ， yǐ tā qù guò dì fāng zhī duō ， jiàn wén zhī guǎng bó ， yě shì dì yī cì tīng wén lái zhe 。

这样的情况，让林轩一阵无语，坊市大到要用地图，以他去过地方之多，见闻之广博，也是第一次听闻来着。

No matter how difficult or treacherous it might be, he decided to give it a try. Although his perception of the Ethereal Immortal Palace had changed, he believed that as an extraordinary cultivator, he still had some chance of escaping unscathed if he failed.

bù guò cóng zhǒng zhǒng jì xiàng biǎo míng ， zhè jiǔ xiān fāng shì hái zhēn yǒu bù fán zhī chù ， tóng shí ， lín xuān duì piāo miǎo xiān gōng de shí lì ， yě yǒu le yí gè xīn de rèn shí 。

不过从种种迹象表明，这九仙坊市还真有不凡之处，同时，林轩对缥缈仙宫的实力，也有了一个新的认识。

Using his divine sense in the jade cylinder, Lin Xuan quickly found what he was looking for. He then shot out a layer of green light and flew to his left.

sú huà shuō ， yóu yì diǎn kě kuī quán mào ， néng gòu zhǎng kòng rú cǐ guī mó de fāng shì ， yòu qǐ shì yì bān de běn pài kě yǐ bǐ nǐ ， piāo miǎo xiān gōng bù kuì shì cǐ jiè de dì yī shì lì 。

俗话说，由一点可窥全貌，能够掌控如此规模的坊市，又岂是一般的本派可以比拟，缥缈仙宫不愧是此界的第一势力。

Due to the market’s vast size, there were no restrictions on flying; otherwise, using a beast carriage would be too slow. However, while flight was allowed, it couldn’t be overly swift. Additionally, fighting was strictly prohibited within the market; doing so would attract the enforcement cultivators of the Ethereal Immortal Palace and result in dire consequences.

ér zì jǐ yào tú móu gāi pài de zhèn gōng zhī bǎo ， kě xiǎng ér zhī ， huì yǒu hé zhǒng nán dù ， bù guò ， jì rán dā yìng le xiāng ér gōng zhǔ ， lín xuān yě bù kě néng zhī nán ér tuì dì 。

而自己要图谋该派的镇宫之宝，可想而知，会有何种难度，不过，既然答应了香儿公主，林轩也不可能知难而退地。

These precautions were noted in the jade cylinder map, which was indeed worth its value. He hadn't wasted those five middle-grade crystal stones on the shopkeeper after all.

zài jiān nán kǎn kě ， yě yào xiān shì shàng yī shì ， suī rán duì piāo miǎo xiān gōng yǒu le yí gè quán xīn de rèn shí ， dàn lín xuān zì wèn yě bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū shì ， jiù suàn zhēn dào bǎo bù chéng ， quán shēn ér tuì huán shì yǒu jǐ fēn bǎ wò dì 。

再艰难坎坷，也要先试上一试，虽然对缥缈仙宫有了一个全新的认识，但林轩自问也不是普通的修士，就算真盗宝不成，全身而退还是有几分把握地。

With his thoughts settled, Lin Xuan arrived at the western region of the market. There were thousands of shops here, all specializing in puppet mechanisms.

ér rú jīn ， tā zé yòng shén shí zài yù tóng zhōng sōu suǒ ， hěn kuài ， jiù zhǎo dào le xiǎng yào de dōng xī 。

而如今，他则用神识在yù瞳中搜索，很快，就找到了想要的东西。

No mistake; it was about puppets and automata.

suí hòu lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， xiàng zuǒ cè fēi le guò qù 。

随后林轩浑身青芒一起，像左侧飞了过去。

Puppetry techniques were a niche art among the hundred cultivation skills. Once crafted, these puppets required significant amounts of crystal stones to operate, with higher-level puppets needing more and being far more valuable.

yóu yú fāng shì tài dà de yuán gù ， cǐ chù bìng méi yǒu shè lì jìn kōng jìn zhì ， fǒu zé yòng shòu chē dài bù ， nà wěi shí tài màn le 。

由于坊市太大的缘故，此处并没有设立禁空禁制，否则用兽车代步，那委实太慢了。

Thus, while convenient, such items were beyond the reach of most cultivators unless they had substantial wealth.

bù guò fāng shì zhōng yě bìng fēi yì diǎn xiàn zhì yě wú ， lìng wài bù zhì yǒu yí gè zhèn fǎ ， xiū shì kě yǐ fēi xíng wú wù ， dàn sù dù yě bù néng tài guò xùn sù 。

不过坊市中也并非一点限制也无，另外布置有一个阵法，修士可以飞行无误，但速度也不能太过迅速。

It was said that some cultivators once purchased many puppets out of curiosity but couldn't afford high-quality crystal stones as power sources. As a result, their masterfully crafted puppets turned into mere scrap metal.

tóng shí ， hái yǒu yì diǎn ， bù lùn yǒu shén me lǐ yóu ， fāng shì zhōng yán jìn dǎ dòu ， fǒu zé ， jiāng zhāo lái piāo miǎo xiān gōng de zhí fǎ xiū shì ， nà xià chǎng jiù hěn bēi cǎn le 。

同时，还有一点，不论有什么理由，坊市中严禁打斗，否则，将招来缥缈仙宫的执法修士，那下场就很悲惨了。

Even wealthy cultivators found it challenging to obtain high-quality puppets; lower-grade ones were not very useful. Hence, puppetry wasn’t widely popular in other realms.

piāo miǎo xiān gōng zuò wéi cǐ jiè dì yī shì lì ， xíng shì shì hěn bà dào dì ， zhí fǎ xiū shì de pí qì ， gèng shì huǒ bào wú bǐ ， gǎn zài zhè lǐ nào shì ， jiù suàn nǐ shì fēn shén qī xiū shì ， yī yàng bú huì yǒu hǎo guǒ zi 。

缥缈仙宫作为此界第一势力，行事是很霸道地，执法修士的脾气，更是火爆无比，敢在这里闹事，就算你是分神期修士，一样不会有好果子。

In larger markets, specialized shops selling such items were rare, usually just a few among general goods or spirit artifacts stores.

zhè xiē yīng gāi zhù yì de dōng xī ， nà yù tóng dì tú zhōng yě yǒu tí ， cǐ wù dǎo shì wù yǒu suǒ zhí ， zì jǐ méi bái gěi nà huǒ jì wǔ kuài zhōng pǐn jīng shí 。

这些应该注意的东西，那yù瞳地图中也有提，此物倒是物有所值，自己没白给那伙计五块中品晶石。

However, Ice Sea Realm was different. The Ethereal Immortal Palace was renowned for its combination puppets, and the scale of Nine Immortals Market was extraordinary. Hence, it wasn't surprising to have dedicated puppet shops; there were thousands of them, leaving Lin Xuan speechless.

nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yǐ jīng lái dào fāng shì de xī qū le 。

脑海中念头转过，林轩已经来到坊市的西区了。

Clearly, the local cultivators placed even greater importance on puppet mechanisms than he had imagined!

zhè lǐ yǒu dà dà xiǎo xiǎo shù qiān jiā diàn pù ， quán bù yǐ chū shòu kuǐ lěi wéi zhǔ 。

这里有大大小小数千家店铺，全部以出售傀儡为主。

Despite the numerous shops, the market’s restrictions limited his divine sense. However, with his strong divine sense, he could still cover most of them. After walking around the street, he had a good understanding of what these thousand shops offered.

méi yǒu kàn cuò ， jiù shì kuǐ lěi jī guān zhī wù 。

没有看错，就是傀儡机关之物。

Though he hadn’t entered any yet, based on experience, more ornate and larger shops usually contained more appealing treasures.

kuǐ lěi liàn zhì zhī shù ， zài xiū xiān bǎi yì zhōng ， shǔ yú jiào wéi piān mén de yī zhǒng ， tóng shí ， liàn zhì hǎo le kuǐ lěi ， bìng bú shì zhí jiē jiù kě yǐ ná lái yòng ， kuǐ lěi shuō dào dǐ ， yě shì yī zhǒng tè shū de fǎ qì ， xiǎng yào qū shǐ ， xū yào hào fèi dà liàng de jīng shí 。

傀儡炼制之术，在修仙百艺中，属于较为偏mén的一种，同时，炼制好了傀儡，并不是直接就可以拿来用，傀儡说到底，也是一种特殊的法器，想要驱使，需要耗费大量的晶石。

While this wasn't always true, it was generally reliable.

ér qiě ， yuè gāo jí de kuǐ lěi ， yòng yú qū dòng de jīng shí yuè duō ， děng jí yě yuè shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。

而且，越高级的傀儡，用于驱动的晶石越多，等级也越是非同小可。

Thus, Lin Xuan chose to walk into one of the shops in the left front.

suǒ yǐ shuō ， zhè dōng xī suī rán fāng biàn hǎo yòng ， dàn ruò bú shì shēn jiā fēng hòu de xiū xiān zhě ， yě zhe shí fù dān bù qǐ 。

所以说，这东西虽然方便好用，但若不是身家丰厚的修仙者，也着实负担不起。

Wind Listening Pavilion!

jù shuō ， céng jīng yǒu xiū xiān zhě ， yī shí hào qí ， gòu jìn le dà liàng de kuǐ lěi ， jié guǒ què ná bù chū nà me duō gāo pǐn zhì dì jīng shí ， zuò wéi kuǐ lěi de dòng lì ， jié guǒ ， jīng yóu dà shī liàn zhì chū lái de kuǐ lěi zhī wù ， què biàn chéng yī duī pò tóng làn tiě le 。

据说，曾经有修仙者，一时好奇，购进了大量的傀儡，结果却拿不出那么多高品质的晶石，作为傀儡的动力，结果，经由大师炼制出来的傀儡之物，却变成一堆破铜烂铁了。

The name didn’t reveal anything special about the shop, but its location was unparalleled; it was undoubtedly a prime spot attracting customers. Its grandeur was impressive, but what interested Lin Xuan most was that its sign bore three beautiful clouds—symbols of the Ethereal Immortal Palace.

hé kuàng jiù suàn shì shēn jiā fēng hòu de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn gāo pǐn zhì dì kuǐ lěi què shì kuàng shì nán qiú ， pǐn zhì dī le ， yòu nán yǒu tài dà de bāng zhù ， gāo bù chéng dī bù jiù ， suǒ yǐ zài qí tā jiè miàn ， kuǐ lěi zhè dōng xī ， bìng bú shì hěn shòu huān yíng de 。

何况就算是身家丰厚的修仙者，但高品质的傀儡却是旷世难求，品质低了，又难有太大的帮助，高不成低不就，所以在其他界面，傀儡这东西，并不是很受欢迎的。

In other words, this store belonged to the Ethereal Immortal Palace itself. For Lin Xuan, this meant he could not only buy puppets but also gather intelligence on the sect up close.

jí biàn shì jiào dà de fāng shì ， yě nán zhǎo zhuān mén chū shòu cǐ wù de diàn pù ， tōng cháng dōu shì zá huò diàn huò zhě shì chū shòu líng qì fǎ bǎo de diàn pù jiān dā zhe mài shàng nà me yì diǎn 。

即便是较大的坊市，也难找专mén出售此物的店铺，通常都是杂货店或者是出售灵器法宝的店铺兼搭着卖上那么一点。

Why not?

rán ér bīng hǎi jiè bù tóng ， piāo miǎo xiān gōng běn lái jiù shì yǐ zǔ hé kuǐ lěi wén míng yú shì ， jiǔ xiān fāng shì de guī mó ， yòu shì rú cǐ de fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， gù ér yǒu zhuān mén chū shòu kuǐ lěi de diàn pù ， nà shì yì diǎn yě bù zú wéi qí de ， dàn zhè yàng de diàn pù ， yǒu shàng qiān zhī duō ， zé ràng lín xuān yǒu diǎn wú yǔ 。

然而冰海界不同，缥缈仙宫本来就是以组合傀儡闻名于世，九仙坊市的规模，又是如此的非同小可，故而有专mén出售傀儡的店铺，那是一点也不足为奇的，但这样的店铺，有上千之多，则让林轩有点无语。

Without hesitation, Lin Xuan stepped into the shop.
