Chapter 2534: Good Luck
zhǐ shì ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān yǎn guāng zhī lǎo là yě méi yǒu liào dào ， jǐ míng yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě yǔn luò de yǔn luò ， zhòng shāng ér táo de yě láng bèi yì cháng de táo le ， zuì hòu ， què shì hé bàng xiāng zhēng ， yú wēng dé lì ， ràng zhè zéi méi shǔ yǎn de níng dān qī lǎo zhě jiǎn le xiàn chéng de dà biàn yí 。 quán wén zì wú guǎng gào
只是，即便以林轩眼光之老辣也没有料到，几名元婴期修仙者陨落的陨落，重伤而逃的也狼狈异常的逃了，最后，却是河蚌相争，渔翁得利，让这贼眉鼠眼的凝丹期老者捡了现成的大便宜。全文字无广告
Still, Lin Xuan, with his sharp eyes, did not expect that the several Core Formation Stage cultivators who had fallen would fall, and those severely injured managed to escape in a pitiful state. In the end, it was like two oysters fighting over a pearl, leaving the shrewd old Condensation Core Stage elder to reap the benefits.
bù guò yě yóu cǐ yìn zhèng le ， xiū xiān jiè shí lì gù rán zhòng yào yǐ jí ， dàn jī yuán yǔ yùn qì yě shì bì bù kě shǎo dì 。
不过也由此印证了，修仙界实力固然重要以极，但机缘与运气也是必不可少地。
However, this also proved that while strength was crucial in the cultivation world, opportunities and luck were equally indispensable.
jié guǒ yǒu xiē lìng rén wú yǔ ， bù guò duì lín xuān lái shuō què yě méi yǒu guān xì ， tā xiàn shēn de mù dì ， zhǐ shì yǐn qǐ yī míng xiū shì de zhù yì ， ràng tā jiāng zì jǐ sòng dào piāo miǎo xiān gōng qù 。
结果有些令人无语，不过对林轩来说却也没有关系，他现身的目的，只是引起一名修士的注意，让他将自己送到缥缈仙宫去。
The result was somewhat amusing, but for Lin Xuan, it didn't matter. His goal was merely to attract the attention of a cultivator and have him send him to the Ethereal Immortal Palace.
zhì yú shuí sòng ， xiū wèi shì qiáng shì ruò ， nà dōu shì wú guān jǐn yào de 。
至于谁送，修为是强是弱，那都是无关紧要的。
Who did the sending or their cultivation level mattered little to him.
qiě shuō zhè níng dān qī lǎo zhě jī yuán qiǎo hé ， jiǎn le yí gè dà biàn yí ， xīn zhōng zì rán yě shì jí wéi huān xǐ ， bù gǎn shū hū dà yì ， lì kè dài zhe lín xuān ， xiǎo xīn yì yì de xiàng piāo miǎo xiān gōng fēi qù le 。
且说这凝丹期老者机缘巧合，捡了一个大便宜，心中自然也是极为欢喜，不敢疏忽大意，立刻带着林轩，小心翼翼的像缥缈仙宫飞去了。
Speaking of this Condensation Core Stage elder who had stumbled upon good fortune, he was naturally overjoyed and did not dare to be careless. He immediately took Lin Xuan and carefully flew towards the Ethereal Immortal Palace.
hái bié shuō ， zhè jiā huo de shí lì zài lín xuān yǎn lǐ ， suī bù zhí yī tí ， miǎo xiǎo dé yǒu rú lóu yǐ ， dàn zhè yùn qì ， hái zhēn shì fēi cháng qiáng dà dì 。
还别说，这家伙的实力在林轩眼里，虽不值一提，渺小得有如蝼蚁，但这运气，还真是非常强大地。
Indeed, his strength seemed negligible in Lin Xuan's eyes, like a tiny ant, but his luck was truly formidable. The entire journey was smooth sailing without any setbacks. They soon arrived at the foot of Nine Immortals Mountain.
yī lù shàng jū rán méi yǒu yù jiàn rèn hé bō zhé ， suí hòu liǎng rén jiù lái dào jiǔ xiān shān de jiǎo dǐ 。
一路上居然没有遇见任何波折，随后两人就来到九仙山的脚底。
At this point, the old man let out a sigh of relief. Although they were still some distance from the entrance, it was already considered forbidden territory within the Ethereal Immortal Palace. Fighting here would be strictly prohibited. In other words, even if a higher-ranking cultivator arrived, he would not dare to forcefully snatch away this precious mortal.
dào le cǐ chù ， nà níng dān qī lǎo zhě yě sōng le kǒu qì ， rú jīn jù lí shān mén suī rán hái yǒu yí dìng jù lí ， dàn yǐ suàn shì piāo miǎo xiān gōng de jìn qū ， zhè lǐ jué duì shì yán jìn dǎ dòu dì ， huàn jù huà shuō ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， jiù suàn lái le yī míng gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě ， yě jué bù gǎn yòng qiáng jiàng zhè zhēn guì de fán rén ， cóng zì jǐ shǒu zhōng qiǎng zǒu le 。
到了此处，那凝丹期老者也松了口气，如今距离山门虽然还有一定距离，但已算是缥缈仙宫的禁区，这里绝对是严禁打斗地，换句话说，此时此刻，就算来了一名高阶修仙者，也绝不敢用强将这珍贵的凡人，从自己手中抢走了。
Nevertheless, he could not afford any carelessness. After all, his Core Formation Stage cultivation level was too low in such a holy place like the Ethereal Immortal Island. He had only managed to seize this good fortune, and he did not want it to end in disappointment.
bù guò huà shì zhè me shuō ， tā yī jiù bù gǎn yǒu sī háo de shū hū ， bì jìng zài piāo miǎo xiān dǎo zhè yàng de xiū liàn shèng dì ， zì jǐ níng dān qī de xiū wèi wěi shí tài dī ， hǎo bù róng yì jiǎn le yí gè dà biàn yí ， tā kě bù xī wàng zuì hòu de jié guǒ shì kōng huān xǐ 。 quán wén zì wú guǎng gào
不过话是这么说，他依旧不敢有丝毫的疏忽，毕竟在飘渺仙岛这样的修炼圣地，自己凝丹期的修为委实太低，好不容易捡了一个大便宜，他可不希望最后的结果是空欢喜。全文字无广告
Thus, the old man urged Lin Xuan to hurry along, wanting to arrive at the Ethereal Immortal Palace as soon as possible so that his heart could finally be at ease.
yú shì lǎo zhě bù duàn cuī cù zhe lín xuān gǎn lù ， zǎo yī kè dào dá piāo miǎo xiān gōng ， tā xīn zhōng de yī kuài dà shí yě jiù luò dì le 。
于是老者不断催促着林轩赶路，早一刻到达缥缈仙宫，他心中的一块大石也就落地了。
Although being called around by a mere ant made Lin Xuan feel strange, he showed no signs of discontent or resistance. He too was eager to reach Nine Immortals Mountain.
bèi yī míng níng dān qī de lóu yǐ hū lái hè qù ， suī rán ràng lín xuān gǎn jué guài guài de ， bù guò biǎo miàn shàng ， yě méi yǒu lù chū rèn hé de bù mǎn yǔ dǐ chù ， lín xuān tóng yàng bā bù dé gǎn kuài qián wǎng jiǔ xiān shān lái zhe 。
被一名凝丹期的蝼蚁呼来喝去，虽然让林轩感觉怪怪的，不过表面上，也没有露出任何的不满与抵触，林轩同样巴不得赶快前往九仙山来着。
In this regard, their goals aligned perfectly, and they cooperated seamlessly. They flew as fast as possible towards the Ethereal Immortal Palace.
cóng zhè yì diǎn lái shuō ， liǎng rén kě shuō shì bù móu ér hé ， yú shì yī lù shàng ， yě jiù fēi cháng de pèi hé ， liǎng rén yǐ zuì kuài de sù dù qián wǎng piāo miǎo xiān gōng 。
从这一点来说，两人可说是不谋而合，于是一路上，也就非常的配合，两人以最快的速度前往缥缈仙宫。
As the saying goes, you can run a horse to death looking at a mountain. The green stone steps before them seemed endless. The peak was over ten thousand feet high, with the mountain waist towering into the sky. Clouds surrounded the area where the entrance of the Ethereal Immortal Palace was located, and the green stone steps wound their way up the mountain.
sú huà shuō ， wàng shān pǎo sǐ mǎ ， ér yǎn qián zhè qīng shí jiē tī ， gèng shì zhǎng dé wú yǐ fù jiā ， yǎn qián de shān fēng ， gāo wàn zhàng yǒu yú ， guāng shì shān yāo ， jiù yǐ jīng gāo sǒng rú tiān jì ， shān yāo sì zhōu bái yún duǒ duǒ ， nà lǐ zhèng shì piāo miǎo xiān gōng de shān mén suǒ zài zhī chù ， ér qīng shí jiē tī shì shùn zhe shān shì ， wān yán ér shàng de ， kě xiǎng ér zhī ， zhǎng dào hé děng dì bù 。
俗话说，望山跑死马，而眼前这青石阶梯，更是长得无以复加，眼前的山峰，高万丈有余，光是山腰，就已经高耸如天际，山腰四周白云朵朵，那里正是缥缈仙宫的山门所在之处，而青石阶梯是顺着山势，蜿蜒而上的，可想而知，长到何等地步。
The old man had never been to this place before; he only heard about it from others. Originally, he rushed to arrive at the entrance by nightfall, but it took him two days and nights to finally reach the end of the green stone steps.
yǐ lǎo zhě de xiū wèi ， cǐ dì yě shì cóng wèi lái guò ， zuì duō yǐ qián dào tīng tú shuō le yì diǎn qíng bào bà le ， yuán běn tā zháo jí gǎn lù ， xiǎng zài tiān hēi yǐ qián dào dá piāo miǎo xiān gōng de shān mén lái zhe ， nǎ zhī dào huā de shí jiān què bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào duō dé duō ， zú zú hào fèi le liǎng tiān liǎng yè de gōng fu ， cái zhōng yú dào dá le nà qīng shí jiē tī de jìn tóu 。
以老者的修为，此地也是从未来过，最多以前道听途说了一点情报罢了，原本他着急赶路，想在天黑以前到达缥缈仙宫的山门来着，哪知道花的时间却比想象的要多得多，足足耗费了两天两夜的功夫，才终于到达了那青石阶梯的尽头。
Lin Xuan was unaffected by the journey, as such trials were trivial for him. However, the old man was truly exhausted. He had never practiced any physical cultivation techniques and was already quite aged. Although he used the Lightness Technique and a Forceful Talisman along the way, the continuous two-day journey was still grueling.
lín xuān hái méi yǒu shén me ， zhè diǎn mó lì ， duì yú tā lái shuō bù zhí yī tí ， ér nà níng dān qī de lǎo zhě ， què dàng zhēn shì lèi dé bù qīng ， bì jìng ， tā zhǐ shì yī pǔ pǔ tōng tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， cóng lái méi yǒu xiū xí guò shén me liàn tǐ shù ， qiě nián jì yǐ lǎo ， suī rán yī lù shàng gěi zì jǐ jiā chí le qīng shēn shù ， yòu shǐ yòng le dà lì fú ， dàn lián xù liǎng tiān liǎng yè de gǎn lù ， nà zī wèi ér hái shì jí bù hǎo shòu de 。
林轩还没有什么，这点磨砺，对于他来说不值一提，而那凝丹期的老者，却当真是累得不轻，毕竟，他只是一普普通通的修仙者，从来没有修习过什么炼体术，且年纪已老，虽然一路上给自己加持了轻身术，又使用了大力符，但连续两天两夜的赶路，那滋味儿还是极不好受的。
Fortunately, this was finally over. Seeing the end of the green stone steps, the old man happily walked up to it.
hǎo zài zhè yī qiè ， rú jīn zhōng yú jié shù le ， kàn jiàn nà qīng shí jiē tī dào le jìn tóu ， nà níng dān qī lǎo zhě dà xǐ de kuài bù zǒu le shàng qù 。
好在这一切，如今终于结束了，看见那青石阶梯到了尽头，那凝丹期老者大喜的快步走了上去。
In contrast, Lin Xuan was extremely steady, walking up the last step without haste before turning around to admire the scenery.
yǔ tā xiāng bǐ ， lín xuān zé xiǎn de wěn zhòng yǐ jí ， bù huāng bù máng de zǒu shàng zuì hòu yí gè shí jiē ， rán hòu cái zhuǎn tóu dǎ liàng sì zhōu de fēng jǐng 。
与他相比，林轩则显得稳重以极，不慌不忙的走上最后一个石阶，然后才转头打量四周的风景。
Before him lay a vast platform about a hundred feet wide, with pavilions and terraces surrounding it. It seemed designed for rest.
yìng rù yǎn lián de shì yí gè bǎi yú zhàng kuān guǎng de jù dà píng tái ， ér zài píng tái de zhōu chè ， hái xiū zhe yī xiē tíng tái lóu gé 。
映入眼帘的是一个百余丈宽广的巨大平台，而在平台的周彻，还修着一些亭台楼阁。
A few steps further, a small path appeared, also made of green stone but built from high-quality white marble.
yī kàn jiù shì gōng rén xiū xī de chǎng suǒ 。
一看就是供人休息的场所。
Even secular emperors could not afford such grandeur, but to cultivators, it was insignificant.
ér zài wǎng qián zǒu shàng shù bù ， yī tiáo xiǎo lù jiù fú xiàn ér chū 。
而再往前走上数步，一条小路就浮现而出。
About a hundred paces up the stairs, a large plaque stood before them. The characters were written in flowing script, and four words were clearly visible: Ethereal Immortal Palace!
zhè tiáo xiǎo lù ， yě shì yī jí yī jí de tái jiē ， rán ér què bú shì yòng qīng shí xiū zhù ， ér shì yòng shàng hǎo de hàn bái yù dā jiàn ér chéng de 。
这条小路，也是一级一级的台阶，然而却不是用青石修筑，而是用上好的汉白玉搭建而成的。
The calligraphy was majestic and ancient, exuding an imposing and rustic aura.
biàn shì shì sú de huáng dì ， yě méi yǒu zhè yàng de dà shǒu bǐ ， bù guò zài xiū xiān zhě yǎn lǐ ， què shì bù zhí yī tí 。
便是世俗的皇帝，也没有这样的大手笔，不过在修仙者眼里，却是不值一提。
The old man's gaze towards the plaque carried a hint of reverence. As they say, there’s cool shade under big trees. The Ethereal Immortal Palace, as the top force in this world, attracted countless cultivators who dreamed of joining. This elder was no exception but his age and资质 made it impossible for him to do so.
shùn zhe jiē tī zài wǎng shàng zǒu dà yuē bǎi bù ， yī jù dà de pái biǎn jiù sǒng lì zài yǎn qián ， shàng miàn lóng fēi fèng wǔ de xiě zhe sì gè zì 。
顺着阶梯再往上走大约百步，一巨大的牌匾就耸立在眼前，上面龙飞凤舞的写着四个字。
However, if the palace honored its promise and allowed him to claim the generous reward, advancing to Core Formation Stage would be a significant possibility. Even if he could not progress further in cultivation, he could still live for over a thousand years in peace.
piāo miǎo xiān gōng ！
缥缈仙宫！
With this thought, the old man's face showed hopeful anticipation. He then reached into his robe, took out a sound transmission talisman, and waved it away, sending it flying towards the front with a flash of light that vanished instantly.
bǐ zǒu lóng shé ， ér qiě sì gè zì xiǎn rán shì jí shàng gǔ de nà zhǒng ， yī huī hóng gǔ piáo de qì shì ， cóng shàng miàn mí sàn ér chū 。
笔走龙蛇，而且四个字显然是极上古的那种，一恢宏古朴的气势，从上面弥散而出。
After about a cup of tea had passed, a bright light suddenly flashed ahead, followed by a towering gate appearing. A dazzling streak shot out from inside, making a creaking sound as it flew past.
lǎo zhě wàng xiàng nà pái biǎn de yǎn shén ， míng xiǎn dài zhe jǐ fēn jìng wèi zhī sè ， sú huà shuō ， dà shù dǐ xià hǎo chéng liáng ， piāo miǎo xiān gōng zuò wéi cǐ jiè rén zú de dì yī shì lì ， kě shì yǒu wú shù xiū shì zuò mèng dōu xiǎng jiā rù de ， yǎn qián lǎo zhě yě shì rú cǐ ， kě xī yǐ tā de nián líng zī zhì nà shì jué bù kě néng dì 。
老者望向那牌匾的眼神，明显带着几分敬畏之色，俗话说，大树底下好乘凉，缥缈仙宫作为此界人族的第一势力，可是有无数修士做梦都想加入的，眼前老者也是如此，可惜以他的年龄资质那是绝不可能地。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted slightly. Although he had used the Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique to temporarily nullify his formidable cultivation level and even his divine sense, his eyesight was still exceptional.
bù guò xiān gōng ruò shì duì xiàn chéng nuò ， ràng zì jǐ ná dào nà jià zhí fēng hòu de xuán shǎng ， jìn jiē yuán yīng qī ， hái shì yǒu bù xiǎo kě néng dì ， jiù suàn cóng cǐ xiū wèi bù néng zài jìn yí bù ， yě néng xiāo yáo de huó shàng qiān yú nián le 。
不过仙宫若是兑现承诺，让自己拿到那价值丰厚的悬赏，进阶元婴期，还是有不小可能地，就算从此修为不能再进一步，也能逍遥的活上千余年了。
His body had been refined through the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance Technique and a top-grade Qilin Fruit, far surpassing ordinary cultivators.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lǎo zhě liǎn shàng mǎn shì qǐ pàn zhī yì ， suí hòu zài huái zhōng yī mō ， qǔ chū yī zhāng chuán yīn fú ， xiù páo yī fú ， cǐ wù jiù huà wèi yī tiáo huǒ lóng xiàng qián fāng fēi qù le ， bìng yī shǎn jí shì de zōng yǐng quán wú 。
想到这里，老者脸上满是企盼之意，随后在怀中一摸，取出一张传音符，袖袍一拂，此物就化为一条火龙像前方飞去了，并一闪即逝的踪影全无。
Thus, Lin Xuan, unable to release his divine sense, could still detect that the approaching figure was not a low-ranking disciple but possibly a Spirit Formation Stage cultivator.
guò le yuē yǒu yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， qián fāng bù yuǎn chù tū rán líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， jiē zhe yí gè shí yú zhàng gāo shān mén fú xiàn chū lái ， suí hòu zhī ya yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī dào liàng lì yǐ jí de jīng hóng cóng lǐ miàn fēi shè chū lái 。
过了约有一盏茶的功夫，前方不远处突然灵光狂闪，接着一个十余丈高山门浮现出来，随后吱呀一声传入耳朵，一道亮丽以极的惊虹从里面飞射出来。
After all, while the Ethereal Immortal Palace was the top force among human cultivators in this world, there were no Transcendence Realm experts on Ice Sea Continent. In other words, Spirit Formation Stage cultivators were the highest rank of existence within the palace.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， tā suī rán shǐ yòng le tiān mó huà yīng **， yī shēn jīng tiān dòng dì de xiū wèi ， zàn shí guī yú le xū wú ， shèn zhì lián shén shí dōu bù néng fàng chū ， dàn yǎn lì bì jìng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，他虽然使用了天魔化婴**，一身惊天动地的修为，暂时归于了虚无，甚至连神识都不能放出，但眼力毕竟是非同小可。
This person held a high position in the palace and personally came here, suggesting that the Ethereal Immortal Palace had significant uses for these mortals, possibly even involved in crucial secrets. The likelihood of him stealing the Ethereal Nine Immortals Pill increased.
hé kuàng tā de ròu shēn shì jīng guò fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué yǔ jí pǐn qí lín guǒ qiān chuí bǎi liàn guò ， yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng xiū shì kě yǐ bǐ nǐ de 。
何况他的肉身是经过凤舞九天诀与极品麒麟果千锤百炼过，远非普通修士可以比拟的。
Lin Xuan was secretly delighted but showed no signs on his face. The old man's expression was even more dumbfounded. Although the other party's spiritual pressure was subtle, his Realm Disk clearly indicated a Spirit Formation Stage cultivator?
suǒ yǐ lín xuān jí biàn bù néng fàng chū shén shí ， yě chá jué dào lái zhě bú shì shén me dī jiē dì zǐ ， ér jí yǒu kě néng shì fēn shén qī xiū shì 。
所以林轩即便不能放出神识，也察觉到来者不是什么低阶弟子，而极有可能是分神期修士。
Was it possible?
yào zhī dào ， piāo miǎo xiān gōng suī rán shì cǐ jiè rén zú de dì yī shì lì ， dàn bīng hǎi jiè běn shēn ， chú le yāo zú de xuán bīng lǎo zǔ ， rén lèi xiū shì zhè biān ， shì méi yǒu dù jié qī dà néng dì ， huàn jù huà shuō ， fēn shén qī xiū shì ， yǐ shì piāo miǎo xiān gōng bèi fēn zuì gāo de cún zài le 。
要知道，缥缈仙宫虽然是此界人族的第一势力，但冰海界本身，除了妖族的玄冰老祖，人类修士这边，是没有渡劫期大能地，换句话说，分神期修士，已是缥缈仙宫辈分最高的存在了。
He had never seen an existence at the Separation stage in his life and now met a Spirit Formation Stage monster. For a moment, he almost suspected that there might be something wrong with his Realm Disk, showing incorrect information.
cǐ rén zài xiān gōng dì wèi bù dī ， jū rán qīn zì lái dào zhè lǐ ， yóu cǐ tuī cè ， piāo miǎo xiān gōng shōu luó zhè xiē fán rén ， kěn dìng shì yǒu jí dà de yòng tú ， shèn zhì cān yù jí wéi zhòng yào de yǐn mì ， nà zì jǐ dào qǔ piāo miǎo jiǔ xiān dān de kě néng xìng ， yòu dà le xiē 。
此人在仙宫地位不低，居然亲自来到这里，由此推测，缥缈仙宫收罗这些凡人，肯定是有极大的用途，甚至参与极为重要的隐秘，那自己盗取缥缈九仙丹的可能性，又大了些。
PS: Second update for today, more coming later.
lín xuān xīn zhōng àn xǐ ， biǎo miàn shàng ， què fēn háo yì sè bù lù ， ér nà níng dān qī lǎo zhě ， biǎo qíng jiù gèng jiā de chēng mù jié shé ， duì fāng de líng yā suī rán hán ér bù lù ， dàn zì jǐ shǒu zhōng de jìng jiè pán què qīng xī yì cháng de biǎo miàn zhè shì yī wèi fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ？
林轩心中暗喜，表面上，却分毫异色不露，而那凝丹期老者，表情就更加的瞠目结舌，对方的灵压虽然含而不露，但自己手中的境界盘却清晰异常的表面这是一位分神期修仙者？

Chapter 2534: Good Luck
Still, Lin Xuan, with his sharp eyes, did not expect that the several Core Formation Stage cultivators who had fallen would fall, and those severely injured managed to escape in a pitiful state. In the end, it was like two oysters fighting over a pearl, leaving the shrewd old Condensation Core Stage elder to reap the benefits.

Lin Xuan was unaffected by the journey, as such trials were trivial for him. However, the old man was truly exhausted. He had never practiced any physical cultivation techniques and was already quite aged. Although he used the Lightness Technique and a Forceful Talisman along the way, the continuous two-day journey was still grueling.
