第两千五百六十五章图谋宝藏
Chapter 2565: Plotting for Treasure
hěn kuài jiù dào le ， lín xuān dùn guāng yī huǎn ， zhǐ jiàn bù yuǎn chù ， shì yī duī suì shí ， gāng gāng dòu fǎ de hén jì ， nà jiào yí gè qīng xī 。 yóu wǎng yǒu shàng chuán ==
很快就到了，林轩遁光一缓，只见不远处，是一堆碎石，刚刚斗法的痕迹，那叫一个清晰。由网友上传==
Soon, they arrived. Lin Xuan slowed his遁光, and saw a pile of rubble nearby. The traces from their recent battle were clearly visible.
lín xuān de mù guāng ， jiù luò xiàng le nà duī bù qǐ yǎn de suì shí 。
林轩的目光，就落像了那堆不起眼的碎石。
Lin Xuan's gaze fell on the unremarkable pile of rubble.
suí hòu tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào qīng xiá cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi le chū qù ， shà shí jiān ， kuáng fēng dà zuò ， shí kuài bèi dà fēng gěi xiān le qǐ lái ，lù chū sān gè chǔ wù dài 。
随后他右手抬起，一道青霞从衣袖中飞了出去，霎时间，狂风大作，石块被大风给掀了起来，lù出三个储物袋。
He then raised his right hand, and a streak of green light shot out from his sleeve. Suddenly, fierce winds rose, lifting the stones to reveal three storage pouches.
zhèng shì piāo miǎo xiān gōng sān míng xiū shì de suí shēn zhī wù ， zhè sān rén de xiū wèi fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dōu shì fēn shén hòu qī de cún zài ， yóu qí nà dào hào líng xū zhēn rén de lǎo zhě ， gèng shì yī pài zōng zhǔ bān de cún zài ， shēn jiā rú hé ， nǎ lǐ hái yòng lèi shù ， jiù suàn tā men cǐ kè suí shēn suǒ xié dài de bǎo wù bù duō ， sān rén suǒ yōng yǒu de jiā qǐ lái ， lín xuān yě jué duì shì fā le yī bǐ xiǎo cái 。
正是飘渺仙宫三名修士的随身之物，这三人的修为非同小可，都是分神后期的存在，尤其那道号灵虚真人的老者，更是一派宗主般的存在，身家如何，哪里还用累述，就算他们此刻随身所携带的宝物不多，三人所拥有的加起来，林轩也绝对是发了一笔小财。
These belonged to the three cultivators of Immortal Drifting Cloud Palace. Their cultivation was no small feat; they were all late-stage Spirit Transformation existences. The elderly man with the title True Man Ling Xu was particularly like a patriarch of a sect, his wealth beyond description. Even if their current possessions weren't much, Lin Xuan would definitely benefit from their combined resources.
làng fèi bú shì lín xuān de xìng gé ， yú shì duì yú sān rén de chǔ wù dài ， tā zì rán bú huì diū dào yī biān ， ér shì mǎn liǎn xiào róng de shōu nà rù huái 。
làng费不是林轩的xìng格，于是对于三人的储物袋，他自然不会丢到一边，而是满脸笑容的收纳入怀。
Wasting wasn’t in Lin Xuan’s nature, so he didn’t discard these storage pouches but instead accepted them with a smile.
jīn tiān de yùn qì zhe shí bù cuò ， lín xuān suí yì jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zài sān gè chǔ wù dài zhōng yī sǎo ér guò ， jù tǐ qīng diǎn lǐ miàn de bǎo wù ， dāng rán yào děng huí qù hòu yǒu shí jiān zài shuō ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān yě jiù shì suí yì yòng shén shí nà me yī sǎo bà le 。
今天的运气着实不错，林轩随意将神识放出，在三个储物袋中一扫而过，具体清点里面的宝物，当然要等回去后有时间再说，此时此刻，林轩也就是随意用神识那么一扫罢了。
Today had been quite lucky for him. He released his spirit sense and swept through the three storage pouches, leaving the exact count of treasures to be determined later. At this moment, he simply used his spirit sense to skim over their contents.
yuán běn zhè ge dòng zuò zài zhèng cháng bù guò ， lín xuān yě méi xiǎng guò zhè shí hòu yào fā xiàn shén me bù tuǒ ， rán shì yǒu jī yuán qiǎo hé ， tā tū rán bèi yī jiàn dōng xī gěi xī yǐn diào zhù yì le 。
原本这个动作再正常不过，林轩也没想过这时候要发现什么不妥，然事有机缘巧合，他突然被一件东西给吸引掉注意了。
The facial features that were once ordinary now vanished, replaced by youthful looks with white hair, a demeanor of a Taoist immortal, and an imposing figure. Unless one knew them intimately, there would be no signs of anything amiss. Lin Xuan knew that the first cultivator of Immortal Drifting Cloud Palace had no partner in cultivation.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
Though he had several disciples, according to the rules of the cultivation world, mentors typically left their apprentices alone for solo practice after imparting guidance.
lín xuān yī dāi ， háo bù yóu yù de jiāng shǒu zhōng de dòng zuò tíng le xià lái ， suí hòu zài qí zhōng yí gè chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， líng guāng yī shǎn ， cóng lǐ miàn fēi chū yī bái méngméng de guāng tuán 。
林轩一呆，毫不犹豫的将手中的动作停了下来，随后在其中一个储物袋上一拍，灵光一闪，从里面飞出一白méngméng的光团。
Thus, even his direct disciples wouldn’t know him well. However, Lin Xuan felt that he wasn’t so unlucky as to encounter such a rare situation.
nà guāng tuán bǐ quán tou hái yào shāo dà yī diǎn ， lǐ miàn bāo guǒ yǒu yī kuài měi yù mú yàng de bǎo wù ， lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， méi yǒu chá jué dào qí shàng yǒu shén me bù tuǒ ， suí hòu biàn jiāng qí zhuā zài le shǒu zhōng 。
那光团比拳头还要稍大一点，里面包裹有一块美yù模样的宝物，林轩将神识放出，没有察觉到其上有什么不妥，随后便将其抓在了手中。
He was always confident in his luck and considered this minor risk worth taking.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of lightning, heading towards the exit of the small space.
lín xuān duān xiáng zhuó shǒu zhōng de měi yù， dàng zhēn shì wēn rùn yǐ jí ， jù tǐ shǔ yú shén me zhì dì lín xuān yě bù qīng chǔ ， bù guò yǒu yì diǎn shì kěn dìng de ， zhè shì zhí zhǎng piāo miǎo xiān gōng de yù fú ， huàn jù huà shuō ， zhè shì dài biǎo zhe líng xū zhēn rén shēn fèn de shì wù ， yǒu le zhè dōng xī ， biàn kě yǐ diào dòng piāo miǎo xiān gōng shǔ yǐ wàn jì de xiū xiān zhě ， yǐ jí wú jìn suì yuè suǒ jī zǎn xià lái de bǎo wù 。
林轩端详着手中的美yù，当真是温润以极，具体属于什么质地林轩也不清楚，不过有一点是肯定的，这是执掌缥缈仙宫的yù符，换句话说，这是代表着灵虚真人身份的事物，有了这东西，便可以调动飘渺仙宫数以万计的修仙者，以及无尽岁月所积攒下来的宝物。
...
lín xuān xīn sī dùn shí huó fàn qǐ lái le 。
林轩心思顿时活泛起来了。
Soon, Lin Xuan arrived at the sea surface. Looking down at the barren island, everything seemed unchanged. Clearly, this place was remote; no other cultivators had entered their small space during this period.
xiū xiān xiū xiān ， pīn de jiù shì zī yuán ， lín xuān de shēn jiā suī rán fēng hòu yǐ jí ， dàn shuí huì xián qì bǎo wù zī yuán duō le qù ， ér qiě piāo miǎo xiān gōng kě bú shì shén me pǔ tōng de zōng mén jiā zú ， nǎi shì bīng hǎi jiè dì yī shì lì ， qí bǎi wàn nián de jī lěi huì yǒu duō shǎo bǎo wù ， lín xuān yǐ jīng xiǎng dōu bù gǎn xiǎng le 。
修仙修仙，拼的就是资源，林轩的身家虽然丰厚以极，但谁会嫌弃宝物资源多了去，而且飘渺仙宫可不是什么普通的宗mén家族，乃是冰海界第一势力，其百万年的积累会有多少宝物，林轩已经想都不敢想了。
A sly smile appeared on his face, but he quickly made a decision. He waved his sleeve, and dozens of sword lights emerged like fish swimming through water, expanding as they met the wind, each becoming over a hundred feet long.
rú guǒ zì jǐ kě yǐ jiāng qí shōu guā yī kōng ……
如果自己可以将其收刮一空……
"Quick!"
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， zhè ge xiǎng fǎ tài guò dà dǎn ， lín xuān shí lì suī rán bù sú ， dàn yǐ yī rén zhī lì ， duì kàng zhè yàng de chāo jí zōng mén wěi shí tài lí pǔ ， rán ér cǐ kè qíng xíng yòu zì bù tóng ， zhè xún bǎo de sān rén dōu yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， ér piāo miǎo xiān gōng de xiū shì ， duì zhè yī qiè ， què bìng bù qīng chǔ ， jiǎ rú zì jǐ kě yǐ shī zhǎn lǐ dài táo jiāng zhī jì ， mán tiān guò hǎi ， nà me xiǎng yào móu qǔ piāo miǎo xiān gōng de bǎo wù ， wèi bì jiù bù kě néng le 。
表面上看，这个想法太过大胆，林轩实力虽然不俗，但以一人之力，对抗这样的超级宗mén委实太离谱，然而此刻情形又自不同，这寻宝的三人都已经陨落，而缥缈仙宫的修士，对这一切，却并不清楚，假如自己可以施展李代桃僵之计，瞒天过海，那么想要谋取缥缈仙宫的宝物，未必就不可能了。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand and pointed it forward.
dāng rán ， zhè me zuò yě yǒu yí dìng de fēng xiǎn ， dàn yǔ jù dà de shōu yì xiāng bǐ ， zé yòu gēn běn bù zhí yī tí ， tiān xià méi yǒu diào xiàn bǐng de hǎo shì ， xiǎng yào hǎo chù ， yòu bù yuàn yì mào xiǎn ， nà gēn běn jiù bù xiàn shí 。
当然，这么做也有一定的风险，但与巨大的收益相比，则又根本不值一提，天下没有掉馅饼的好事，想要好处，又不愿意冒险，那根本就不现实。
Silver light flashed, and those sword lights converged into a massive sword towering thousands of feet high. Its surface shimmered with silver light that seemed to flow endlessly, making it dazzlingly bright.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yǐ jiāng zhè zhōng jiān de yīn guǒ dé shī kǎo lǜ qīng chǔ ， fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú ， tā jué dìng shī zhǎn nà lǐ dài táo jiāng zhī jì ， bì jìng jī yuán xū yào zì jǐ bǎ wò ， zhè me hǎo de jī huì rú guǒ yīn wèi dǎn qiè cuò guò ， zì jǐ wú lùn rú hé ， kěn dìng huì dà wèi hòu huǐ de 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩已将这中间的因果得失考虑清楚，富贵险中求，他决定施展那李代桃僵之计，毕竟机缘需要自己把握，这么好的机会如果因为胆怯错过，自己无论如何，肯定会大为后悔的。
Lin Xuan sighed as he raised his right hand high before suddenly swinging it down. With his action, the massive sword descended fiercely, targeting the uninhabited island sealed by an ancient space.
dé le dà zhǎng lǎo lìng fú ， rú jīn suàn shì wàn shì jù bèi le ， rán ér cǐ shì què yě bìng fēi yī piàn tǎn tú ， yī jiù yǒu yī zhuāng nán chǔ 。
得了大长老令符，如今算是万事俱备了，然而此事却也并非一片坦途，依旧有一桩难处。
Boom!
líng xū zhēn rén nǎi shì fēn shén hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， zì jǐ fǎ lì suī rán yuǎn bǐ tóng jiē xiū shì shēn hòu dé duō ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zǒng shì fēn shén chū qī de ， zhè yì diǎn ， wàn wàn zuò jiǎ bù dé ， zì jǐ gāi zěn me jiě shì cǐ shì ne ？
灵虚真人乃是分神后期的修仙者，自己法力虽然远比同阶修士深厚得多，但不管如何，总是分神初期的，这一点，万万作假不得，自己该怎么解释此事呢？
A deafening sound echoed as the sword sliced through the island, splitting it in two. Countless cracks appeared on the ground, and seawater rushed in. The giant sword then disintegrated into hundreds of smaller swords, swarming and stabbing from all directions. Soon, the entire island sank beneath the sea, leaving no trace when the wind subsided.
zhè shì yí gè nán tí ， chǔ lǐ bù hǎo zé yǒu kě néng jiāng zì jǐ xiàn rù wàn jié bù fù de jìng dì ， lín xuān bù dé bù zhèng zhòng yī xiē 。
这是一个难题，处理不好则有可能将自己陷入万劫不复的境地，林轩不得不郑重一些。
Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He destroyed this place not out of guilt but for another reason. The ancient space within the Immortal Drifting Cloud Palace had already been sealed off, and even the mystical cauldron was taken away. That mysterious land had been reduced to desolation by an outsider demon, making it impossible for new treasures to appear.
tā kāi shǐ zhòu méi sī suǒ ， bù guò hěn kuài ， lín xuān jiù fǎng fú xiǎng dào le shén me ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī lǚ xiào róng ， suí hòu shēn shēn hū xī ， hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， qīng guāng yī zhǎng yī suō ， tóng shí hái yǒu pī lǐ pā lā gǔ gé bào liè bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
他开始皱眉思索，不过很快，林轩就仿佛想到了什么，嘴角边lù出一缕笑容，随后深深呼吸，浑身青芒大起，青光一涨一缩，同时还有噼里啪啦骨骼爆裂般的声音传入耳朵。
Moreover, that demon wasn’t from the spirit realm; in fact, it seemed unrelated to any of the three worlds. Lin Xuan didn’t know how it crossed dimensions but guessed it had something to do with the ancient sealed space.
zú zú guò le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， suǒ yǒu de yì xiàng ， yě dōu xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng ， ér lín xuān de shēn xíng xiāng mào ， zé yǔ gāng gāng wán quán bù tóng 。
足足过了一盏茶的功夫，林轩抬起头颅，所有的异象，也都消失得无影无踪，而林轩的身形相貌，则与刚刚完全不同。
Though cultivators were often cold-hearted, they wouldn’t stand idly by when faced with such a threat. Lin Xuan was no different from other cultivators and would certainly oppose this demon.
yuán běn píng fán de wǔ guān xiāo shī le ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì tóng yán hè fà ， xiān fēng dào gǔ ， lián shēn cái yě gāo dà le xǔ duō ， bù jǐn róng mào ， jiù lián qì shì ， yě yǔ líng xū zhēn rén xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
原本平凡的五官消失了，取而代之的是童颜鹤发，仙风道骨，连身材也高大了许多，不仅容貌，就连气势，也与灵虚真人相差仿佛。
Since that ancient sealed space might have brought them here, he decided to destroy its entrance to prevent any more powerful demons from wreaking havoc in the Ice Sea Realm.
chú fēi shì zhāo xī xiāng chǔ zhī rén ， fǒu zé jué kàn bù chū bù tuǒ ， ér jù lín xuān suǒ zhī ， zhè wèi piāo miǎo xiān gōng de dì yī xiū shì ， shì méi yǒu shuāng xiū dào lǚ dì 。
除非是朝夕相处之人，否则绝看不出不妥，而据林轩所知，这位缥缈仙宫的第一修士，是没有双修道侣地。
With the entrance gone, even if the demon’s interdimensional thoughts were formidable, without a body, it could only exert limited power and wouldn’t be able to tear through space.
suī rán yǒu jǐ gè tú dì ， rán ér àn zhào xiū xiān jiè de guī jǔ ， xiū shì shòu tú ， dōu shì chuán shòu zhǐ diǎn hòu jiù ràng qí dān dú xiū liàn de 。
虽然有几个徒弟，然而按照修仙界的规矩，修士授徒，都是传授指点后就让其单独修炼的。
After completing this task, Lin Xuan took a deep breath. His aura flared as he flew towards the distant horizon at an incredible speed, vanishing from sight.
suǒ yǐ ， jí biàn shì qīn chuán dì zǐ ， yì bān lái shuō ， duì shī zūn yě bú huì hěn shú ， dāng rán ， fán shì jiē yǒu lì wài ， bù guò lín xuān jué de ， zì jǐ bú huì nà me dǎo méi ， gāng hǎo jiù pèng jiàn zhè shǎo jiàn qíng xíng de 。
所以，即便是亲传弟子，一般来说，对师尊也不会很熟，当然，凡事皆有例外，不过林轩觉得，自己不会那么倒霉，刚好就碰见这少见情形的。
Several hours later, Immortal Drifting Cloud Island came into view.
duì zì jǐ de yùn qì ， tā xiàng lái xìn xīn shí zú ， zhè yì diǎn diǎn fēng xiǎn ， shāo wēi mào yī xià yě méi yǒu shén me 。
对自己的运气，他向来信心十足，这一点点风险，稍微冒一下也没有什么。
Lin Xuan didn’t stop his遁光 but headed straight for Nine Immortals Mountain.
suí hòu lín xuān huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， xiàng zhè xiǎo kōng jiān de chū kǒu fēi qù le 。
随后林轩化为一道惊虹，像这小空间的出口飞去了。
Revisiting this place, but now Lin Xuan was the Great Elder of Immortal Drifting Cloud Palace. He wouldn’t land at the foot of the mountain; those anti-air barriers would have no effect on him as a high-ranking cultivator. Instead, he flew directly towards the sect’s entrance.
……
……
After about half an hour, Lin Xuan slowed his遁光 and encountered several disciples patrolling the area.
hěn kuài ， lín xuān lái dào hǎi miàn ， kàn zhe jiǎo xià de huāng dǎo ， yī qiè rú gù ， xiǎn rán cǐ chù piān pì ， zì jǐ jǐ rén jìn rù xiǎo kōng jiān ， zhè duàn shí jiān ， fù jìn bìng méi yǒu lái guò xiū xiān zhě 。
很快，林轩来到海面，看着脚下的荒岛，一切如故，显然此处偏僻，自己几人进入小空间，这段时间，附近并没有来过修仙者。
Although Immortal Drifting Cloud Palace was prestigious, it wouldn’t be wise to ignore vigilance. As a major sect, they couldn’t afford any lapses in security; accidents could happen at any time.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī chén yín zhī sè， dàn hěn kuài ， jiù zuò xià jué dìng lái le ， xiù páo yī fú ， shà shí jiān ， shù shí dào jiàn guāng yú yóu ér chū ， yíng fēng jiù zhǎng ， měi yī dào dōu huà wèi bǎi zhàng zhī zhǎng 。
林轩脸上lù出一丝沉yín之sè，但很快，就做下决定来了，袖袍一拂，霎时间，数十道剑光鱼游而出，迎风就涨，每一道都化为百丈之长。
These patrol disciples had low cultivation levels and weren’t qualified to meet with the Great Elder. However, having seen his image before, coupled with his profound spiritual pressure, only the True Man Ling Xu of their own sect would dare to challenge him.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
The disciples were overjoyed and immediately paid their respects, ready to send a transmission token. But Lin Xuan waved them off: "No need to make a fuss about my return; just continue your duties."
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
林轩右手抬起，一指向前点去。
"Understood!"
zhǐ jiàn yín máng dà zuò ， nà xiē jiàn guāng wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， yī bǐng qíng tiān jù jiàn chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng 。
只见银芒大做，那些剑光往中间一合，一柄擎天巨剑出现在视线中。
Though the low-ranking cultivators didn’t understand his intentions, they dared not defy the commands of the Supreme Elder.
cǐ jiàn zhǎng qiān zhàng yǒu yú ， fǎng fú lüè yī huī wǔ ， jiù néng pī kāi tiān dì ， biǎo miàn cuǐ càn de yín máng ， gèng shì liú zhuǎn bù yǐ ， xiǎn de duó mù yǐ jí 。
此剑长千丈有余，仿佛略一挥舞，就能劈开天地，表面璀璨的银芒，更是流转不已，显得夺目以极。
Lin Xuan continued flying towards the inner part of the sect.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， yòu shǒu gāo gāo tái qǐ ， suí hòu měng rán xiàng xià huī luò ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， nà qíng tiān jù jiàn hěn hěn xiàng xià zhǎn luò ， mù biāo zhèng shì nà fēng yìn yǒu shàng gǔ kōng jiān de wú rén huāng dǎo 。
林轩叹了口气，右手高高抬起，随后猛然向下挥落，随着他的动作，那擎天巨剑狠狠向下斩落，目标正是那封印有上古空间的无人荒岛。
Soon, he encountered another cultivator in black robes. His cultivation was much higher, at late-stage Profound Transformation.
hōng ！
轰！
However, high cultivation could sometimes bring trouble. Seeing no one around, Lin Xuan quickly subdued him without harming him, using a soul probing technique to gather information.
jīng tiān dòng dì de jù xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī jiàn zhǎn luò ， yín máng yī shǎn ， zhěng zuò dǎo yǔ jū rán bèi pī cì wèi le liǎng bàn ， wú shù de liè hén zài dì miàn shàng fú xiàn ， hǎi shuǐ fēng kuáng yǒng rù ， suí hòu nà bǐng jù jiàn yī shǎn ， fēn jiě chéng qiān bǎi bǐng xiǎo jiàn ， zòng héng bǎi hé ， shàng xià zǎn cì ， hěn kuài ， zhěng zuò dǎo yǔ jiù wán quán chén rù le hǎi dǐ ， dāng fēng làng píng xī ， zhè lǐ zài yě kàn bù chū yì diǎn hén jì 。
惊天动地的巨响声传入耳朵，一剑斩落，银芒一闪，整座岛屿居然被劈刺为了两半，无数的裂痕在地面上浮现，海水疯狂涌入，随后那柄巨剑一闪，分解成千百柄小剑，纵横捭阖，上下攒刺，很快，整座岛屿就完全沉入了海底，当风làng平息，这里再也看不出一点痕迹。
Lin Xuan wasn’t cruel or fond of killing, but he knew when to be ruthless. He used this method because his knowledge about Immortal Drifting Cloud Palace was lacking; he only heard rumors from the market and couldn’t recognize even high-ranking cultivators by name. Soul probing was the simplest way to gather such information.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， tā zhè me zuò ， bìng bú shì xīn xū ， huǐ shī miè jì ， ér shì lìng yǒu yòng yì 。
林轩松了口气，他这么做，并不是心虚，毁尸灭迹，而是另有用意。
Monday request: Please vote for recommendation tickets! Thank you, fellow cultivators!
yī lái ， piāo miǎo jiǔ xiān dān yǐ wèi zì jǐ suǒ de ， shèn zhì lián líng jué dǐng dōu bèi qǔ zǒu le ， nà huán jìng xuán miào de líng dì ， yě bèi tiān wài zhī mó huǐ qù ， fēng yìn kōng jiān zhōng yī piàn huāng wú ， zài yě bù kě néng chǎn shēng xīn de bǎo wù ， huǐ le yě jiù huǐ le ， bìng bù suàn bào tiǎn tiān wù 。
一来，飘渺九仙丹已为自己所得，甚至连灵诀鼎都被取走了，那环境玄妙的灵地，也被天外之魔毁去，封印空间中一片荒芜，再也不可能产生新的宝物，毁了也就毁了，并不算暴殄天物。

Chapter 2565: Plotting for Treasure
Soon, they arrived. Lin Xuan slowed his遁光, and saw a pile of rubble nearby. The traces from their recent battle were clearly visible.
Lin Xuan's gaze fell on the unremarkable pile of rubble.
He then raised his right hand, and a streak of green light shot out from his sleeve. Suddenly, fierce winds rose, lifting the stones to reveal three storage pouches.
These belonged to the three cultivators of Immortal Drifting Cloud Palace. Their cultivation was no small feat; they were all late-stage Spirit Transformation existences. The elderly man with the title True Man Ling Xu was particularly like a patriarch of a sect, his wealth beyond description. Even if their current possessions weren't much, Lin Xuan would definitely benefit from their combined resources.
Wasting wasn’t in Lin Xuan’s nature, so he didn’t discard these storage pouches but instead accepted them with a smile.
Today had been quite lucky for him. He released his spirit sense and swept through the three storage pouches, leaving the exact count of treasures to be determined later. At this moment, he simply used his spirit sense to skim over their contents.

Revisiting this place, but now Lin Xuan was the Great Elder of Immortal Drifting Cloud Palace. He wouldn’t land at the foot of the mountain; those anti-air barriers would have no effect on him as a high-ranking cultivator. Instead, he flew directly towards the sect’s entrance.
After about half an hour, Lin Xuan slowed his遁光 and encountered several disciples patrolling the area.
Although Immortal Drifting Cloud Palace was prestigious, it wouldn’t be wise to ignore vigilance. As a major sect, they couldn’t afford any lapses in security; accidents could happen at any time.
These patrol disciples had low cultivation levels and weren’t qualified to meet with the Great Elder. However, having seen his image before, coupled with his profound spiritual pressure, only the True Man Ling Xu of their own sect would dare to challenge him.
The disciples were overjoyed and immediately paid their respects, ready to send a transmission token. But Lin Xuan waved them off: "No need to make a fuss about my return; just continue your duties."
"Understood!"
Though the low-ranking cultivators didn’t understand his intentions, they dared not defy the commands of the Supreme Elder.
Lin Xuan continued flying towards the inner part of the sect.
Soon, he encountered another cultivator in black robes. His cultivation was much higher, at late-stage Profound Transformation.
However, high cultivation could sometimes bring trouble. Seeing no one around, Lin Xuan quickly subdued him without harming him, using a soul probing technique to gather information.
Lin Xuan wasn’t cruel or fond of killing, but he knew when to be ruthless. He used this method because his knowledge about Immortal Drifting Cloud Palace was lacking; he only heard rumors from the market and couldn’t recognize even high-ranking cultivators by name. Soul probing was the simplest way to gather such information.
