确定了随后的行止，林轩也没有再回九仙坊市，而是化为一道惊虹，像天边飞去，很快就消失了踪迹。 全文字无广告
With his plans set, Lin Xuan did not return to Nine Immortals Market. Instead, he transformed into a streak of startling light and flew towards the horizon, quickly vanishing from sight.
lín xuān de lí kāi ， bìng méi yǒu yǐn qǐ rèn hé xiū shì de zhù yì ， bì jìng yǐ jiǔ xiān fāng shì de guī mó ， měi tiān jìn jìn chū chū de xiū shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， jiù suàn shì dòng xuán qī cún zài ， yě suàn bù liǎo shén me ， jiā shàng lín xuān shì yǐ dǎ tàn xiāo xī wéi zhǔ ， bìng méi yǒu dà shǒu bǐ de mǎi xià shén me qí zhēn bǎo wù ， suǒ yǐ tā de xíng zōng ， zì rán jiù gèng bù wéi rén zhù yì le 。
林轩的离开，并没有引起任何修士的注意，毕竟以九仙坊市的规模，每天进进出出的修士数不胜数，就算是洞玄期存在，也算不了什么，加上林轩是以打探消息为主，并没有大手笔的买下什么奇珍宝物，所以他的行踪，自然就更不为人注意了。
Lin Xuan's departure did not attract any attention from cultivators. After all, with the scale of Nine Immortals Mountain, countless cultivators came and went every day. Even an Existence Profound Realm existence was nothing special. Since Lin Xuan had mainly been gathering information without making a grand purchase, his movements were naturally less noticed.
jiǔ xiān shān ， wèi yú piāo miǎo xiān dǎo xī cè ， dàn jiù jù tǐ fāng wèi lái shuō ， yǐ shì gāi dǎo de fù xīn wèi zhì le ， tóng shí ， yě shì zhěng zuò dǎo yǔ líng qì zuì wèi nóng yù zhī chù 。
九仙山，位于飘渺仙岛西侧，但就具体方位来说，已是该岛的腹心位置了，同时，也是整座岛屿灵气最为浓郁之处。
Nine Immortals Mountain was located on the west side of Drifting Cloud Island, but it was already at the heart of the island in terms of specific location. It was also the place with the most concentrated qi on the entire island.
chuán shuō ， nà lǐ líng qì zhī nóng ， shì wú biān hǎi qí tā dì fāng gēn běn méi yǒu bàn fǎ qǐ jí de ， yòng wàng chén mò jí lái xíng róng ， yě bù wèi guò ， àn lǐ ， zhè yàng de jí pǐn líng mài suǒ zài zhī chù ， gè dà zōng mén jiā zú yīng gāi qiǎng pò tóu ， rán ér ， què cóng lái méi yǒu rèn hé yí gè shì lì ， gǎn duì jiǔ xiān shān yǒu suǒ jì yú ， wú tā ， zhè lǐ shì piāo miǎo xiān gōng chuán chéng de zǒng duò 。
传说，那里灵气之浓，是无边海其他地方根本没有办法企及的，用望尘莫及来形容，也不为过，按理，这样的极品灵脉所在之处，各大宗门家族应该抢破头，然而，却从来没有任何一个势力，敢对九仙山有所觊觎，无他，这里是缥缈仙宫传承的总舵。
Legend had it that the concentration of qi there was so intense that it could not be matched by any other part of the endless sea. Describing it as unattainable was no exaggeration. Logically, such a prime spirit vein should have been fiercely contested by major sects and families. However, no force had ever dared to covet Nine Immortals Mountain. The reason? This place was the main stronghold of the Ethereal Immortal Palace's legacy.
gǎn yǔ běn jiè dì yī shì lì zhēng qiǎng líng dì ， nà bú shì nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí ？
敢与本界第一势力争抢灵地，那不是脑袋有问题？
To challenge the top power in the world for a spiritual land would be sheer madness?
piāo miǎo xiān gōng qiáng hèng de shí lì bǎi zài nǎ lǐ ， qí tā zōng pài yě zhǐ néng xī le qiǎng zhàn cǐ shān líng mài de xīn sī ， gān dèng yǎn de yǎn chán zhī jí 。
缥缈仙宫强横的实力摆在哪里，其他宗派也只能熄了抢占此山灵脉的心思，干瞪眼的眼馋之极。
The formidable strength of the Ethereal Immortal Palace was evident; other sects could only quench their desire to seize this mountain’s spirit vein with empty stares of envy.
zhè tiān ， yī dào jīng hóng huá guò tiān jì ， lüè yī zhuǎn zhé ， rán hòu biàn zài jiǔ xiān shān de yī zuò shān fēng là xià 。
这天，一道惊虹划过天际，略一转折，然后便在九仙山的一座山峰落下。
On that day, a streak of startling light crossed the sky before turning and landing on one of Nine Immortals Mountain's peaks.
guāng máng shōu liǎn ， yī bǐng biàn dà de fēi jiàn fǎ bǎo yìng rù yǎn lián 。
光芒收敛，一柄变大的飞剑法宝映入眼帘。
As the light faded, a large flying sword appeared in front of them.
suí hòu pā dā zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì dā chéng cǐ bǎo de liǎng rén ， cóng fēi jiàn shàng zǒu xià lái le 。
随后啪嗒之声传入耳朵，却是搭乘此宝的两人，从飞剑上走下来了。
A clapping sound reached their ears as two people dismounted from the flying sword.
dāng xiān yí gè ， shì yī míng liǎn sè jiāo huáng de lǎo zhě ， yòu gàn yòu shòu ， yī fù zéi méi shǔ yǎn zhī sè ， xiū wèi yě bù rú hé ， bù guò níng dān chū qī bà le ， dǎo shì tā hòu miàn nà rén ， pǒ wèi yǐn rén zhǔ mù 。
当先一个，是一名脸色焦黄的老者，又干又瘦，一副贼眉鼠眼之色，修为也不如何，不过凝丹初期罢了，倒是他后面那人，颇为引人瞩目。
Leading the way was an elderly man with a yellowish complexion, dry and thin, with a sly look. His cultivation level was only at the Condensation Core early stage, but the youth behind him stood out significantly.
nà shì yī shēn chuān qīng páo de shào nián ， kàn shàng qù bù guò èr shí zuǒ yòu ， rán ér què miàn rú guān yù ， chún ruò tú dān ， xīng méi lǎng mù ， dàng zhēn shì rén zhōng lóng fèng ， ér qiě gèng wéi nán dé de shì cǐ zi suī rán nián jì qīng qīng ， hún shēn shàng xià què sàn fà chū yí dài zōng shī de qì dù 。
那是一身穿青袍的少年，看上去不过二十左右，然而却面如冠玉，唇若涂丹，星眉朗目，当真是人中龙凤，而且更为难得的是此子虽然年纪轻轻，浑身上下却散发出一代宗师的气度。
He wore a green robe and appeared to be around twenty years old. However, his face was like jade, lips painted red, with bright eyes and a clear gaze—truly a prince among men. Moreover, despite being young, he exuded the aura of a master cultivator.
shào nián yǔ lǎo zhě ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， yí gè tiān shàng yí gè dì xià ， rán ér piān piān liǎng rén ， què shì yǐ nà lǎo zhě wéi zhǔ ， shào nián què shì yī fù wéi wéi nuò nuò 。
少年与老者，一眼望去，一个天上一个地下，然而偏偏两人，却是以那老者为主，少年却是一副唯唯诺诺。
The youth and the elderly man were worlds apart at first glance, but it was the elder who held the upper hand, while the youth appeared submissive.
chū yī kàn ， ràng rén jué de yǒu xiē chà yì ， dàn ruò zǐ xì kǎo jiū ， què jué de liǎng rén zhè yàng de zhǔ cóng guān xì ， nà shì zhèng cháng yǐ jí 。
初一看，让人觉得有些诧异，但若仔细考究，却觉得两人这样的主从关系，那是正常以极。
At first sight, one might find this relationship surprising, but upon closer examination, such a master-servant dynamic seemed perfectly normal.
suī rán zài piāo miǎo xiān dǎo ， qū qū níng dān qī xiū shì duō rú niú máo ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zǒng shì xiū xiān zhě ， qiě bù tán xiū wèi rú hé ， guāng shì néng gòu hū fēng huàn yǔ de shǒu duàn ， jiù yǔ fán rén de shēn fèn jié rán bù yí yàng 。
虽然在飘渺仙岛，区区凝丹期修士多如牛毛，但不管如何，总是修仙者，且不谈修为如何，光是能够呼风唤雨的手段，就与凡人的身份截然不一样。
Although there were countless Condensation Core cultivators on Drifting Cloud Island, they were still cultivators. Regardless of their cultivation level, their ability to control the elements set them apart from ordinary people.
ér nà shào nián ， suī rán yīng jùn shuài qì ， qiě qì yǔ xuān áng ， jǔ shǒu tóu zú ， dōu yǔ pǔ tōng rén bù yí yàng ， rán ér tā hún shēn shàng xià ， què méi yǒu sī háo de fǎ lì bō dòng ， xiǎn rán bú shì xiū xiān zhě ， jǐn jǐn shì yī jiè fán fū sú zǐ bà le 。
而那少年，虽然英俊帅气，且气宇轩昂，举手投足，都与普通人不一样，然而他浑身上下，却没有丝毫的法力波动，显然不是修仙者，仅仅是一介凡夫俗子罢了。
This youth was not only handsome and dignified but also moved differently from an ordinary person. However, he emitted no signs of mana fluctuations, indicating that he was not a cultivator but merely an ordinary mortal.
zhì yú wèi hé yōng yǒu zhè yàng de qì dù ， zé yīn wèi tā shì fán rén zhōng de tiān dào gāo shǒu 。
至于为何拥有这样的气度，则因为他是凡人中的天道高手。
As for why he had such an aura, it was because he was a heavenly way expert among mortals.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， fán rén bù néng xiū xí xiān shù ， dàn yě yǒu cōng míng cái zhì zhī shì ， chuàng lì le wǔ gōng 。
众所周知，凡人不能修习仙术，但也有聪明才智之士，创立了武功。
It is well known that mortals cannot practice immortal arts, but there were clever and wise individuals who created martial arts.
wǔ gōng yǔ xiān dào zhōng de liàn tǐ shù pǒ yǒu yì qǔ tóng gōng zhī chù ， dōu shì qiáng shēn jiàn tǐ de xiào guǒ ， dàn què yòu bìng bù xiāng tóng ， ruò néng jiāng wǔ gōng xiū liàn dào jí zhì ， zé shì chuán shuō zhōng de tiān dào gāo shǒu 。
武功与仙道中的炼体术颇有异曲同工之处，都是强身健体的效果，但却又并不相同，若能将武功修炼到极致，则是传说中的天道高手。
Martial arts shared similarities with physical cultivation techniques in the immortal world—both aimed to strengthen the body. However, they differed significantly. If one could master martial arts to perfection, they would become a heavenly way expert.
jù shuō ， zhè yàng de fán rén ， shèn zhì néng yǔ líng dòng qī gāo jiē de xiū shì xiāng kàng ， ruò shì chū qí bù yì ， yǐ qiáng dà nèi lì ， jī suì zhù jī qī xiū shì de hù tǐ líng guāng ， jiāng qí miè shā ， yě bú shì bù kě néng dì 。
据说，这样的凡人，甚至能与灵动期高阶的修士相抗，若是出其不意，以强大内力，击碎筑基期修士的护体灵光，将其灭杀，也不是不可能地。
It was said that such mortals could even resist high-stage flexible spirit period cultivators. With a powerful inner strength, they might shatter a foundation establishment period cultivator's protective qi and kill them unexpectedly.
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， fán rén bì jìng zhǐ shì fán rén ér yǐ ， jí shǐ tiān dào gāo shǒu xiǎng yào duì kàng xiū xiān zhě ， yě bì xū shì chū qí bù yì ， fǒu zé yí dàn děng duì fāng jì qǐ bǎo wù ， nà jiù fēn háo huán shǒu zhī lì yě wú ， zhǐ néng rèn qí zǎi gē 。
但不管如何，凡人毕竟只是凡人而已，即使天道高手想要对抗修仙者，也必须是出其不意，否则一旦等对方祭起宝物，那就分毫还手之力也无，只能任其宰割。
Nevertheless, mortals were still just mortals. Even if a heavenly way expert wanted to fight against cultivators, it had to be by surprise. Otherwise, once the opponent summoned their treasures, there would be no chance of retaliation; they would only be slaughtered.
ér qiě jiù suàn shì tōu xí ， tiān dào gāo shǒu yě bù kě néng duì kàng níng dān qī ， duì fāng shén shí zhī qiáng ， jī hū shì bù kě néng bèi fán rén suàn jì 。
而且就算是偷袭，天道高手也不可能对抗凝丹期，对方神识之强，几乎是不可能被凡人算计。
Even an ambush was impossible for a heavenly way expert, as the power of the opponent's divine sense was almost uncalculable for mortals.
zài xiū shì kàn lái ， fán rén zhǐ bù guò shì lóu yǐ ， tiān dào gāo shǒu yòu rú hé ， guī gēn dào dǐ ， yě jǐn jǐn shì shì lóu yǐ zhōng jiào wéi qiáng zhuàng de yī zhī 。
在修士看来，凡人只不过是蝼蚁，天道高手又如何，归根到底，也仅仅是是蝼蚁中较为强壮的一只。
To cultivators, mortals were mere ants, and heavenly way experts were no different—just stronger ones among them.
cǐ kè ， nà gān shòu lǎo zhě jiù duì shào nián hū lái hè qù ：“ kuài zǒu ， wǒ men bì xū gǎn zài tiān hēi zhī qián ， dào dá piāo miǎo xiān gōng de shān mén cái kě yǐ 。”
此刻，那干瘦老者就对少年呼来喝去：“快走，我们必须赶在天黑之前，到达缥缈仙宫的山门才可以。”
At this moment, the thin elderly man barked orders at the youth: "Hurry up. We must arrive at the Ethereal Immortal Palace's entrance before dark."
“ shì 。” nà shào nián tái tóu wàng le yī yǎn jiǎo xià de qīng shí tái jiē ， rú yī tiáo jiāo lóng bān shùn zhe shān shì yán zhǎn ， jìn tóu zài hé chù ， què shì gēn běn kàn dōu kàn bù qīng chǔ ， yīn wèi zǎo zài bàn shān yāo de shí hòu ， jiù yǐ mò rù yún zhōng 。
“是。”那少年抬头望了一眼脚下的青石台阶，如一条蛟龙般顺着山势延展，尽头在何处，却是根本看都看不清楚，因为早在半山腰的时候，就已没入云中。
"Yes," the youth looked up at the green stone steps that seemed like a dragon winding its way up the mountain, their end hidden in clouds halfway up.
“ zhè jiē tī rú cǐ zhī zhǎng ， xiān shī wèi hé bù shī zhǎn xiān shù ， fēi xíng kě yào bǐ xíng zǒu kuài dé duō 。” nà shào nián suī dā yìng le ， què yǒu bù jiě de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tiān dào gāo shǒu ， bì jìng yào bǐ yì bān fán rén de dǎn liàng ， yào dà dé duō 。
“这阶梯如此之长，仙师为何不施展仙术，飞行可要比行走快得多。”那少年虽答应了，却有不解的声音传入耳朵，天道高手，毕竟要比一般凡人的胆量，要大得多。
"Why are you not using your divine abilities to fly? It would be much faster than walking," the youth’s voice carried an air of confusion despite his agreement. A heavenly way expert was naturally braver than ordinary mortals.
“ hēng ， nǐ zhī dào shén me ， piāo miǎo xiān gōng ， nǎi shì cǐ jiè zuì dà de zōng pài ， cóng shān jiǎo kāi shǐ ， jiù shè lì yǒu jìn kōng jìn zhì ， hé kuàng jiù suàn méi yǒu ， wǒ děng wài lái xiū shì ， yòu qǐ gǎn zài zhè lǐ fēi xíng ， nà qǐ bù shì duì xiān gōng bù jìng ， zhè xiē xiū xiān jiè de guī jǔ ， nǐ qū qū yí gè fán rén ， yòu nǎ lǐ qīng chǔ ， jiù bú yào zài zhè lǐ hú yán luàn yǔ le 。” lǎo zhě suī tán bù shàng jí yán lì sè ， dàn yǔ qì yě chōng mǎn le bù nài chéng fèn de ：“ kuài kuài gǎn lù 。”
“哼，你知道什么，缥缈仙宫，乃是此界最大的宗派，从山脚开始，就设立有禁空禁制，何况就算没有，我等外来修士，又岂敢在这里飞行，那岂不是对仙宫不敬，这些修仙界的规矩，你区区一个凡人，又哪里清楚，就不要在这里胡言乱语了。”老者虽谈不上疾言厉色，但语气也充满了不耐成分的：“快快赶路。”
"Hmph, what do you know? The Ethereal Immortal Palace is the largest sect in this world. From the foot of the mountain, there are restrictions on flying. Even if there weren't, we outsiders wouldn't dare to fly here; it would be disrespectful to the palace. These rules of the cultivation world—how could a mere mortal like you know? Don’t talk nonsense," the elderly man’s tone was not harsh but contained a lot of impatience.
“ shì ， shì 。”
“是，是。”
"Yes, yes."
nà shào nián bù gǎn duō shuō ， suí zhe lǎo zhě yán zhe qīng shí jiē tī ， xiàng shān shàng zǒu qù ， rán ér tā de zuǐ jiǎo ， què wēi wēi qiào qǐ ， yǎn móu shēn chù ， yǐn yǐn lù chū jǐ fēn jī cháo zhī sè 。
那少年不敢多说，随着老者沿着青石阶梯，像山上走去，然而他的嘴角，却微微翘起，眼眸深处，隐隐露出几分讥嘲之色。
The youth did not dare to speak more and followed the elderly man up the green stone steps. However, his lips curled slightly, and a hint of mockery could be seen in his eyes.
qū qū yī míng níng dān qī xiū shì ， yě gǎn duì zì jǐ hū lái hè qù ， zhēn shì zhǎo sǐ ， zhè yàng de shì qíng ， yǐ jīng yǒu duō shǎo nián méi yǒu jīng lì 。
区区一名凝丹期修士，也敢对自己呼来喝去，真是找死，这样的事情，已经有多少年没有经历。
A mere Condensation Core cultivator dared to order him around—truly asking for death. Such experiences were rare these days.
bù cuò ， zhè suǒ wèi de fán rén wǔ lín gāo shǒu ， tiān dào zōng shī ， zì shì lín xuān jiǎ bàn dì 。
不错，这所谓的凡人武林高手，天道宗师，自是林轩假扮地。
Indeed, this so-called heavenly way expert among mortals was Lin Xuan in disguise.
rán ér cǐ kè ， tā shī zhǎn de què bú shì liǎn qì zhī shù 。
然而此刻，他施展的却不是敛气之术。
However, he was not using theqi collection techniqueat this moment.
xū zhī ， xiū xiān jiè qí gōng yì fǎ wú shù ， jí biàn zài gāo míng de liǎn qì shù ， yě shì yǒu jí xiàn de ， yǐ fán rén de shēn fèn qián rù piāo miǎo xiān gōng ， nán miǎn yǔ gāi pài de xiū shì jìn jù lí jiē chù ， ruò shì dī jiē cún zài yě jiù bà le ， jiǎ rú yù jiàn fēn shén jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， lín xuān shí zài méi yǒu bǎ wò yòng liǎn qì shù ， jiāng duì fāng mán guò ， ruò shì lù chū yì diǎn mǎ jiǎo ， nà kě jiù nòng qiǎo chéng zhuō ， jiāng zì jǐ xiàn rù jué dà de wēi jī zhī zhōng 。
须知，修仙界奇功异法无数，即便再高明的敛气术，也是有极限的，以凡人的身份潜入缥缈仙宫，难免与该派的修士近距离接触，若是低阶存在也就罢了，假如遇见分神级别的老怪物，林轩实在没有把握用敛气术，将对方瞒过，若是露出一点马脚，那可就弄巧成拙，将自己陷入绝大的危机之中。
It must be known that there were countless extraordinary techniques in the cultivation world. Even the most refinedqi collection techniquehad limits. As a mortal, it was inevitable to come close to the Ethereal Immortal Palace's cultivators. If they met low-level existences, it would be fine, but encountering a high-stage old monster could pose a significant risk for Lin Xuan. He had no confidence in usingqi collection techniqueto deceive such an opponent; any slip-up could lead to dire consequences.
lín xuān de xìng gé ， xiàng lái shì móu dìng ér hòu dòng ， zhè yàng méi yǒu tài dà bǎ wò de shì qíng ， zì rán bú huì qù zuò 。
林轩的性格，向来是谋定而后动，这样没有太大把握的事情，自然不会去做。
Lin Xuan was always meticulous and would not take risks without certainty.
hǎo zài tā hái yǒu yī xiàng shén tōng ， zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià zhèng hǎo hé yòng 。
好在他还有一项神通，在这种情况下正好合用。
Fortunately, he still possessed another divine ability that fit the situation perfectly.
tiān mó huà yīng **！
天魔化婴**！
The Heaven Demon Infant Transformation!
cǐ xiàng mì shù ， hái shì zhèng xuán jiāo gěi zì jǐ de ， jù shuō shì yī shàng gǔ mó dào xiū shì suǒ chuàng lì de shén tōng 。
此项秘术，还是郑璇交给自己的，据说是一上古魔道修士所创立的神通。
This secret technique was given to him by Zheng Xuan. It was said to have been created by an ancient demon cultivator.
biǎo miàn shàng ， kě yǐ suàn liǎn qì yǐn nì zhī shù de yī zhǒng ， rán ér xuán miào zhī chù ， yǔ yì bān de cǐ lèi shén tōng ， què shì jié rán bù tóng 。
表面上，可以算敛气隐匿之术的一种，然而玄妙之处，与一般的此类神通，却是截然不同。
On the surface, it could be considered a form of concealment and hiding, but its subtlety differed greatly from ordinary techniques of this kind.
lín xuān xiū xí zhī chū ， jiù duì chuàng lì cǐ gōng fǎ de nà wèi shàng gǔ mó xiū pèi fú yǐ jí ， cǐ gōng fǎ bù jǐn néng jiāng dān tián jīng mài zhōng de fǎ lì ， jìn shù sàn dào **， lián yuán yīng yě kě yǐ duǎn shí jiān nèi huà wèi wú xíng 。
林轩修习之初，就对创立此功法的那位上古魔修佩服以极，此功法不仅能将丹田经脉中的法力，尽数散到**，连元婴也可以短时间内化为无形。
When Lin Xuan first practiced this skill, he was deeply impressed by the ancient demon cultivator who had created it. This technique not only dispersed all mana in his dantian meridians to his body, even temporarily rendering his essence infant invisible.
jiǎn zhí shì lìng pì xī jìng ， zài xuán miào de liǎn qì zhī shù ， yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ qí xiāng bǐ 。
简直是另辟蹊径，再玄妙的敛气之术，也没有办法与其相比。
It was a unique approach; no matter how refined theqi collection techniquewas, it could not compare to this method.
yīn wèi liǎn qì ， jǐn jǐn shì shōu liǎn ér yǐ ， rú guǒ zhēn yǔ gāo rén xiāng yù ， shí yǒu ** hái shì huì bào lù dì 。
因为敛气，仅仅是收敛而已，如果真与高人相遇，十有**还是会暴露地。
Concealment merely meant hiding. If he truly encountered a high-level cultivator, there would be a high chance of exposure.
kě tiān mó huà yīng ** bù tóng ， yí dàn xiū liàn chéng gōng ， shī zhǎn cǐ shù ， hún shēn de fǎ lì yǔ yuán yīng jiē guī yú wú xíng ， jiù suàn shì dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， kǒng pà yě kàn bù chū fēn háo duān ní 。
可天魔化婴**不同，一旦修炼成功，施展此术，浑身的法力与元婴皆归于无形，就算是渡劫期老怪物，恐怕也看不出分毫端倪。
However, with Heaven Demon Infant Transformation, once successfully mastered, using this technique rendered his mana and essence infant invisible even to the old monsters at the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
ps： zhè liǎng tiān bǎo bǎo cháng cháng chī le dōng xī méi duō jiǔ jiù tǔ ， jīn tiān dài tā qù le yī yuàn ， hái hǎo méi yǒu shén me shì ， bù guò yě dān gē le hěn duō shí jiān ， suǒ yǐ ， jīn tiān jiù yī zhāng le ， bù guò míng tiān huì sān gēng bǔ cháng dà jiā de 。
ps：这两天宝宝常常吃了东西没多久就吐，今天带他去了医院，还好没有什么事，不过也耽搁了很多时间，所以，今天就一章了，不过明天会三更补偿大家的。
P.S.: The baby has been vomiting frequently after eating lately. I took him to the hospital today, but fortunately, there's nothing serious. However, it did take up a lot of time, so only one chapter today. But tomorrow will have three updates to make up for everyone.

Chapter 2532: Playing the Fool to Eat the Tiger
With his plans set, Lin Xuan did not return to Nine Immortals Market. Instead, he transformed into a streak of startling light and flew towards the horizon, quickly vanishing from sight.
Lin Xuan's departure did not attract any attention from cultivators. After all, with the scale of Nine Immortals Mountain, countless cultivators came and went every day. Even an Existence Profound Realm existence was nothing special. Since Lin Xuan had mainly been gathering information without making a grand purchase, his movements were naturally less noticed.
Nine Immortals Mountain was located on the west side of Drifting Cloud Island, but it was already at the heart of the island in terms of specific location. It was also the place with the most concentrated qi on the entire island.
Legend had it that the concentration of qi there was so intense that it could not be matched by any other part of the endless sea. Describing it as unattainable was no exaggeration. Logically, such a prime spirit vein should have been fiercely contested by major sects and families. However, no force had ever dared to covet Nine Immortals Mountain. The reason? This place was the main stronghold of the Ethereal Immortal Palace's legacy.
To challenge the top power in the world for a spiritual land would be sheer madness?
The formidable strength of the Ethereal Immortal Palace was evident; other sects could only quench their desire to seize this mountain’s spirit vein with empty stares of envy.
On that day, a streak of startling light crossed the sky before turning and landing on one of Nine Immortals Mountain's peaks.
As the light faded, a large flying sword appeared in front of them.
A clapping sound reached their ears as two people dismounted from the flying sword.
Leading the way was an elderly man with a yellowish complexion, dry and thin, with a sly look. His cultivation level was only at the Condensation Core early stage, but the youth behind him stood out significantly.
He wore a green robe and appeared to be around twenty years old. However, his face was like jade, lips painted red, with bright eyes and a clear gaze—truly a prince among men. Moreover, despite being young, he exuded the aura of a master cultivator.

As for why he had such an aura, it was because he was a heavenly way expert among mortals.
It is well known that mortals cannot practice immortal arts, but there were clever and wise individuals who created martial arts.
Martial arts shared similarities with physical cultivation techniques in the immortal world—both aimed to strengthen the body. However, they differed significantly. If one could master martial arts to perfection, they would become a heavenly way expert.
It was said that such mortals could even resist high-stage flexible spirit period cultivators. With a powerful inner strength, they might shatter a foundation establishment period cultivator's protective qi and kill them unexpectedly.
Nevertheless, mortals were still just mortals. Even if a heavenly way expert wanted to fight against cultivators, it had to be by surprise. Otherwise, once the opponent summoned their treasures, there would be no chance of retaliation; they would only be slaughtered.
Even an ambush was impossible for a heavenly way expert, as the power of the opponent's divine sense was almost uncalculable for mortals.
To cultivators, mortals were mere ants, and heavenly way experts were no different—just stronger ones among them.
At this moment, the thin elderly man barked orders at the youth: "Hurry up. We must arrive at the Ethereal Immortal Palace's entrance before dark."
"Yes," the youth looked up at the green stone steps that seemed like a dragon winding its way up the mountain, their end hidden in clouds halfway up.
"Why are you not using your divine abilities to fly? It would be much faster than walking," the youth’s voice carried an air of confusion despite his agreement. A heavenly way expert was naturally braver than ordinary mortals.
"Hmph, what do you know? The Ethereal Immortal Palace is the largest sect in this world. From the foot of the mountain, there are restrictions on flying. Even if there weren't, we outsiders wouldn't dare to fly here; it would be disrespectful to the palace. These rules of the cultivation world—how could a mere mortal like you know? Don’t talk nonsense," the elderly man’s tone was not harsh but contained a lot of impatience.
"Yes, yes."
The youth did not dare to speak more and followed the elderly man up the green stone steps. However, his lips curled slightly, and a hint of mockery could be seen in his eyes.
A mere Condensation Core cultivator dared to order him around—truly asking for death. Such experiences were rare these days.
Indeed, this so-called heavenly way expert among mortals was Lin Xuan in disguise.
However, he was not using theqi collection techniqueat this moment.
It must be known that there were countless extraordinary techniques in the cultivation world. Even the most refinedqi collection techniquehad limits. As a mortal, it was inevitable to come close to the Ethereal Immortal Palace's cultivators. If they met low-level existences, it would be fine, but encountering a high-stage old monster could pose a significant risk for Lin Xuan. He had no confidence in usingqi collection techniqueto deceive such an opponent; any slip-up could lead to dire consequences.
Lin Xuan was always meticulous and would not take risks without certainty.
Fortunately, he still possessed another divine ability that fit the situation perfectly.
The Heaven Demon Infant Transformation!
This secret technique was given to him by Zheng Xuan. It was said to have been created by an ancient demon cultivator.
On the surface, it could be considered a form of concealment and hiding, but its subtlety differed greatly from ordinary techniques of this kind.
When Lin Xuan first practiced this skill, he was deeply impressed by the ancient demon cultivator who had created it. This technique not only dispersed all mana in his dantian meridians to his body, even temporarily rendering his essence infant invisible.
It was a unique approach; no matter how refined theqi collection techniquewas, it could not compare to this method.
Concealment merely meant hiding. If he truly encountered a high-level cultivator, there would be a high chance of exposure.
However, with Heaven Demon Infant Transformation, once successfully mastered, using this technique rendered his mana and essence infant invisible even to the old monsters at the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
P.S.: The baby has been vomiting frequently after eating lately. I took him to the hospital today, but fortunately, there's nothing serious. However, it did take up a lot of time, so only one chapter today. But tomorrow will have three updates to make up for everyone.
