dāng rán ， xióng wěi yě shì xiāng duì lái shuō ， yǐ lín xuān jīng lì zhī fēng fù ， gèng dà ， gèng wēi é de xiān chéng yě bú shì méi yǒu jiàn guò ， gù ér tā de liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu chī jīng zhī sè。
当然，雄伟也是相对来说，以林轩经历之丰富，更大，更巍峨的仙城也不是没有见过，故而他的脸上并没有吃惊之sè。
Of course, "majestic" was relative. With Lin Xuan's extensive experience, he had seen even larger and more imposing immortal cities before. Thus, his face did not show any signs of surprise.
zhè lǐ ， xiǎng bì jiù shì cǎi yún chéng le 。
这里，想必就是彩云城了。
Here must be the Rainbow Cloud City.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì 。
林轩松了口气。
Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief. The map in that jade cylinder hadn't gone wrong; he finally arrived at where cultivators gathered.
nà yù tóng jiǎn zhōng de dì tú méi yǒu chū cuò ， zǒng suàn lái dào le xiū xiān zhě de jù jū zhī suǒ 。
那玉瞳简中的地图没有出错，总算来到了修仙者的聚居之所。
Surely, here would provide some useful clues.
zài zhè lǐ ， xiǎng bì néng gòu dǎ tīng dào yī xiē yǒu yòng de xiàn suǒ 。
在这里，想必能够打听到一些有用的线索。
Haste makes waste. Lin Xuan didn't expect to immediately resolve all his doubts. But it was always better to gather more information when arriving at a new place. He walked toward the Rainbow Cloud City with a casual demeanor.
xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu shē wàng ， yī xià zi jiù néng jiāng xīn zhōng de yí dòu jiě chú 。
心急吃不了热豆腐，林轩并没有奢望，一下子就能将心中的疑窦解除。
He landed his遁光 near the outskirts and concealed his cultivation level to the婴期 stage. As before, he preferred to stay low-key; after all, a 分神 existence would be too conspicuous wherever he went.
dàn gāng lái dào yī mò shēng de dì diǎn ， duō dǎ tàn yī xiē xiāo xī zǒng shì méi cuò ， lín xuān shī shī rán xiàng cǎi yún chéng zǒu qù le 。
但刚来到一陌生的地点，多打探一些消息总是没错，林轩施施然像彩云城走去了。
The scale of the Rainbow Cloud City was considerable, but its architectural style differed significantly from those Lin Xuan had visited in the past immortal cities.
tā shì zài jìn jiāo jiāng dùn guāng jiàng luò ， xiū wèi yě shōu liǎn dào yuán yīng qī le ， hái shì nà jù huà ， dī diào shì lín xuān de yuán zé ， fēn shén jí bié de cún zài ， bù lùn zǒu dào hé chù ， dōu yǒu xiē tài zhā yǎn le 。
他是在近郊将遁光降落，修为也收敛到元婴期了，还是那句话，低调是林轩的原则，分神级别的存在，不论走到何处，都有些太扎眼了。
This wasn't unusual. The lost plane had severed ties with the Spirit Realm, Demon Realm, and Yin Realm since ancient times. Thus, various aspects naturally diverged.
cǎi yún chéng guī mó bù xiǎo ， rán ér chéng chí zhōng jiàn zhù de fēng gé ， què yǔ lín xuān yǐ wǎng dào guò de xiān chéng dà bù xiāng tóng 。
彩云城规模不小，然而城池中建筑的风格，却与林轩以往到过的仙城大不相同。
Despite these differences, there were certainly坊市in this city.
zhè bù xī qí ， shī luò de jiè miàn cóng shàng gǔ kāi shǐ ， jiù yǔ líng jiè 、 mó jiè 、yīn sī jiè zài méi yǒu lián xì ， gù ér gè fāng miàn de qíng kuàng ， zì rán yǔ sān dà jiè miàn shì bù tài xiāng tóng dì 。
这不稀奇，失落的界面从上古开始，就与灵界、魔界、yīn司界再没有联系，故而各方面的情况，自然与三大界面是不太相同地。
The city was under禁空禁制, which had no effect on Lin Xuan, but he didn't want to cause a commotion. He paid two crystal stones for a carriage and soon arrived at the central market of the Rainbow Cloud City.
rán ér jiǒng yì guī jiǒng yì ， xiān chéng zhōng yǒu fāng shì nà què shì yí dìng dì 。
然而迥异归迥异，仙城中有坊市那却是一定地。
The shops lining both sides were numerous, yet the number of cultivators in the market was sparse, making it seem rather deserted.
chéng zhōng shè yǒu jìn kōng jìn zhì ， suī rán duì lín xuān méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， dàn tā yě bù xiǎng jīng shì hài sú ， yú shì huā liǎng kuài jīng shí gù le yī liàng shòu chē ， méi duō jiǔ jiù lái dào cǎi yún chéng zhōng xīn de fāng shì 。
城中设有禁空禁制，虽然对林轩没有效果，但他也不想惊世骇俗，于是花两块晶石雇了一辆兽车，没多久就来到彩云城中心的坊市。
"Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!"
liǎng páng de diàn pù nà shì lín cì zhì bǐ ， bù guò fāng shì zhōng xiū xiān zhě de shù liàng dào bìng bù duō ， shēng yì hěn shì lěng qīng de yàng zi 。
两旁的店铺那是鳞次栉比，不过坊市中修仙者的数量倒并不多，生意很是冷清的样子。
Several dragon-and-phoenix script characters caught Lin Xuan's eye. He glanced over them and found that the shop looked impressive. Thus, he stepped inside.
“ wàn bǎo gé ！”
“万宝阁！”
This was a general store primarily dealing with various magical treasures, selling talismans and other cultivation materials as well.
jǐ gè lóng fēi fèng wǔ de dà zì yìng rù yǎn lián ， lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， kàn zhè jiā diàn pù de qì pài hái bú cuò ， yú shì biàn zǒu jìn qù le 。
几个龙飞凤舞的大字映入眼帘，林轩目光扫过，看这家店铺的气派还不错，于是便走进去了。
Originally, Lin Xuan had only intended to browse around, but soon he made an astonishing discovery.
zhè shì yī jiā zá huò pù ， yǐ jīng yíng gè zhǒng fǎ bǎo wéi zhǔ ， chú cǐ yǐ wài 。 yě chū shòu fú lù 。 yǐ jí bié de yī xiē xiū xiān cái liào 。
这是一家杂货铺，以经营各种法宝为主，除此以外。也出售符箓。以及别的一些修仙材料。
"How about this Immortal Binding Ring? Excellent eyesight, indeed. This treasure hasn't been claimed yet; if you purchase it, a little ritual will make it your own. Of course, even if you already have a main treasure, using it as a secondary one can greatly enhance its power—ingenious and versatile. Not to brag, but this is our store's masterpiece, personally crafted by Master Fish. The materials are ordinary, yet the power is boundless..."
yuán běn lín xuān zhǐ shì suí biàn guàng guàng ， dàn hěn kuài jiù yǒu jīng rén de fā xiàn le 。
原本林轩只是随便逛逛，但很快就有惊人的发现了。
A young man dressed like an attendant eagerly began his pitch.
“ zěn me ， qián bèi kàn shàng zhè kùn xiān huán fǎ bǎo le 。 zhēn shì hǎo yǎn lì ， cǐ bǎo shàng wèi rèn zhǔ ， qián bèi mǎi xià hòu zhǐ yào shāo jiā jì liàn jiù kě yǐ dàng zuò běn mìng fǎ bǎo shǐ yòng le 。 dāng rán ， nín ruò shì yǐ jīng yǒu le zhǔ fǎ bǎo ， jiāng qí yòng zuò dì èr fǎ bǎo fǔ zhù ， wēi lì yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， miào yòng wú qióng de ， bú shì xiǎo de zì kuā ， cǐ bǎo kě shì běn diàn de dé yì zhī zuò ， shì yóu yú dà shī qīn zì liàn zhì de ， yòng cái suī rán pǔ tōng 。 dàn wēi lì què shì wú qióng ……”
“怎么，前辈看上这困仙环法宝了。真是好眼力，此宝尚未认主，前辈买下后只要稍加祭炼就可以当做本命法宝使用了。当然，您若是已经有了主法宝，将其用做第二法宝辅助，威力也是非同小可，妙用无穷的，不是小的自夸，此宝可是本店的得意之作，是由鱼大师亲自炼制的，用材虽然普通。但威力却是无穷……”
"May I see it?"
yī xiǎo èr dǎ bàn de xiū shì lái dào lín xuān shēn cè ， líng yá lì chǐ de tuī xiāo qǐ lái le 。
一小二打扮的修士来到林轩身侧，伶牙俐齿的推销起来了。
Lin Xuan said indifferently.
“ ó ， gěi wǒ kàn kàn kě yǐ me ？”
“哦，给我看看可以么？”
"Certainly, sir," the attendant replied as he took out the treasure from a shelf and respectfully handed it to Lin Xuan.
lín xuān shén sè dàn rán de shuō 。
林轩神sè淡然的说。
Lin Xuan accepted it, lowered his head slightly, and released his spirit sense to examine it carefully.
“ qián bèi xiǎng kàn 。 dāng rán méi yǒu wèn tí 。”
“前辈想看。当然没有问题。”
This Immortal Binding Ring was merely suitable for 婴期 cultivators. To be honest, it wasn't worth Lin Xuan's attention. However, he examined it meticulously.
nà diàn xiǎo èr yī biān shuō 。 yī biān cóng huò jià shàng qǔ xià bǎo wù ， gōng jìng de dì dào lín xuān shǒu lǐ miàn le 。
那店小二一边说。一边从货架上取下宝物，恭敬的递到林轩手里面了。
The reason? Lin Xuan was interested in the method used to forge this treasure. If his memory served him correctly, it should have been crafted using the Cloud Forging Technique.
lín xuān jiē guò 。 wēi wēi dī xià tou lú ， fàng chū shén shí zǐ xì chá kàn qǐ lái le 。
林轩接过。微微低下头颅，放出神识仔细查看起来了。
Cultivation techniques were vast and profound; most cultivators knew some alchemy, though their proficiency varied greatly.
qū qū yī kùn xiān huán bǎo wù ， bù guò shì hé yuán yīng jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， yào shuō qǐ lái ， zì rán shì bù kě néng rù lín xuān fǎ yǎn de ， rán ér cǐ kè ， lín xuān què kàn dé hěn zǐ xì 。
区区一困仙环宝物，不过适合元婴级别的修仙者，要说起来，自然是不可能入林轩法眼的，然而此刻，林轩却看得很仔细。
While Lin Xuan's alchemy skills fell far short of those of master alchemists, they still surpassed those of ordinary cultivators. The Cloud Forging Technique was mentioned in many alchemy texts as a method used during the ancient times. Treasures forged using this secret technique had about 10% more power than those made with conventional methods.
wú tā ， lín xuān suǒ guān zhù de ， shì liàn zhì cǐ bǎo de shǒu fǎ 。
无他，林轩所关注的，是炼制此宝的手法。
Ten percent might not seem like much, but in high-level battles where every millimeter counted, that extra ten percent could be decisive.
rú guǒ zì jǐ méi yǒu kàn cuò ， yīng gāi shì yòng “ yún duàn zhī shù ” liàn zhì ér chéng de 。
如果自己没有看错，应该是用“云锻之术”炼制而成的。
Moreover, no special materials were needed; only a different forging method was required to achieve such an enhancement.
xiū xiān bǎi yì ， bó dà jīng shēn ， jué dà bù fèn xiū xiān zhě ， dū huì yì diǎn liàn qì shù ， suǒ bù tóng zhě ， bù guò shì shì fǒu jīng tōng bà le 。
修仙百艺，博大jīng深，绝大部分修仙者，都会一点炼器术，所不同者，不过是是否jīng通罢了。
Although the technique itself wasn't widely known, it had been lost since ancient times. The texts lamented its disappearance.
lín xuān de liàn qì shù ， yǔ jīng shàn cǐ dào de dà shī xiāng bǐ ， gù rán shì yuǎn yuǎn bù jí ， dàn bǐ qǐ yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ， què yòu shèng guò xǔ duō 。
林轩的炼器术，与jīng擅此道的大师相比，固然是远远不及，但比起一般的修仙者，却又胜过许多。
Unexpectedly, in this lost plane, he found something related to the Cloud Forging Technique just by wandering through a market.
yún duàn zhī shù ， bù shǎo liàn qì de diǎn jí dōu yǒu tí ， jù shuō shì shàng gǔ shí qī de yī zhǒng liàn bǎo zhī fǎ ， yòng zhè zhǒng mì fǎ liàn zhì chū lái de bǎo wù ， bǐ qǐ yòng pǔ tōng fāng fǎ liàn zhì chū lái de ， wēi lì néng gòu tí gāo yì chéng zuǒ yòu 。
云锻之术，不少炼器的典籍都有提，据说是上古时期的一种炼宝之法，用这种秘法炼制出来的宝物，比起用普通方法炼制出来的，威力能够提高一成左右。
Though Lin Xuan didn't care much for the Immortal Binding Ring, he was very interested in the Cloud Forging Technique. If he could obtain it and reforge his main treasure with it, it would significantly boost the power of his Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.
yì chéng ， yě jiù shì shí fēn zhī yī ， biǎo miàn shàng tīng qǐ lái bú shì hěn duō ， dàn gāo shǒu guò zhāo ， zhǐ zhēng lí háo ， zhè yì chéng de wēi lì ， zài guān jiàn shí kè ， shì zú yǐ zuǒ yòu shèng fù 。
一成，也就是十分之一，表面上听起来不是很多，但高手过招，只争厘毫，这一成的威力，在关键时刻，是足以左右胜负。
With this thought, Lin Xuan felt a bit excited.
ér qiě zhè wēi lì de tí shēng ， bìng bù xū yào tiān jiā shén me tè bié de cái liào bǎo wù ， jǐn jǐn shì liàn qì shǒu fǎ de bù tóng ， jiù zú yǐ dài lái gǎi biàn le 。
而且这威力的提升，并不需要添加什么特别的材料宝物，仅仅是炼器手法的不同，就足以带来改变了。
After all, the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword's power was formidable; even a ten percent increase in its might would be considerable.
qí shí yòng xìng bù yòng tí ， rán ér zhè yún duàn zhī shù zài shàng gǔ jiù yǐ jīng shī chuán diào le ， nà xiē diǎn jí zhōng miáo shù de yǔ qì ， yě shì shèn wéi wǎn xī 。
其实用xìng不用提，然而这云锻之术在上古就已经失传掉了，那些典籍中描述的语气，也是甚为惋惜。
As they say, misfortune may be an omen of good fortune. Just as he arrived at the Rainbow Cloud City market, he found such an opportunity. If not for being in this lost plane, it wouldn't have crossed his mind.
méi xiǎng dào zài zhè shī luò de jiè miàn ， suí biàn yī jiā fāng shì ， jiù néng gòu zhǎo dào yǔ yún duàn zhī shù yǒu guān de dōng xī 。
没想到在这失落的界面，随便一家坊市，就能够找到与云锻之术有关的东西。
Lin Xuan then looked at a few other treasures but didn't find any more that used the Cloud Forging Technique. This wasn't surprising; such intricate alchemical techniques were known to only a few master alchemists even during ancient times and were jealously guarded.
suī rán zhè kùn xiān huán fǎ bǎo ， lín xuān shì kàn bù shàng yǎn ， dàn duì yún duàn zhī shù lín xuān què hěn gǎn xìng qù ， ruò shì néng gòu dé dào cǐ wù ， zài yòng tā chóng xīn jì liàn yī biàn zì jǐ de běn mìng bǎo wù ， bì rán néng ràng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de shén tōng dà zēng xǔ duō 。
虽然这困仙环法宝，林轩是看不上眼，但对云锻之术林轩却很感兴趣，若是能够得到此物，再用牠重新祭炼一遍自己的本命宝物，必然能让九宫须臾剑的神通大增许多。
"May I take this Immortal Binding Ring?"
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān yǒu diǎn xīn yǎng le 。
想到这里，林轩有点心痒了。
"Sure, 500,000 crystal stones," the attendant's excited voice reached Lin Xuan. He would receive considerable commission for this big sale.
bì jìng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， nǎ pà jǐn jǐn shì zēng jiā shí fēn zhī yī de wēi néng ， nà yě shì hěn kě guān de 。
毕竟九宫须臾剑的威力非同小可，哪怕仅仅是增加十分之一的威能，那也是很可观的。
"500,000 crystal stones?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. For him, that amount of crystal stones wasn't significant; it was nothing to worry about. But for a 婴期-level treasure, the price seemed high.
sú huà shuō fú xī huò suǒ yī ， huò xī fú suǒ fú ， gǔ rén chéng bù qī wǒ ， cái gāng lái dào cǎi yún chéng fāng shì ， jiù yǒu zhè yàng de jī yuán ， ruò fēi zài shī luò de jiè miàn ， nà yě xiǎng yě bù yòng xiǎng de 。
俗话说福兮祸所依，祸兮福所伏，古人诚不欺我，才刚来到彩云城坊市，就有这样的机缘，若非在失落的界面，那也想也不用想的。
Of course, he didn't mind and paid the crystal stones without hesitation.
suí hòu lín xuān yòu kàn le jǐ yàng bǎo wù ， què zài yě méi yǒu yòng yún duàn zhī shù liàn zhì chū lái de jīng pǐn ， zhè bù xī qí ， zhè zhǒng xuán miào de liàn qì shǒu fǎ ， jí shǐ zài shàng gǔ zhī shí ， zhǎng wò de yě zhǐ yǒu jí shǎo shù liàn qì dà shī 。
随后林轩又看了几样宝物，却再也没有用云锻之术炼制出来的jīng品，这不稀奇，这种玄妙的炼器手法，即使在上古之时，掌握的也只有极少数炼器大师。
"By the way, I have a question for you," Lin Xuan suddenly turned around.
yí gè gè dōu shì ruò zhēn bǎo ， cóng bù qīng yì shì rén ， fǒu zé ， yě bú huì shī chuán diào 。
一个个都视若珍宝，从不轻易视人，否则，也不会失传掉。
"Precious senior, please speak your mind; I will not withhold any information."
“ zhè kùn xiān huán wǒ yào le 。”
“这困仙环我要了。”
The attendant was in high spirits after making such a big sale and respectfully replied.
“ hǎo ， wǔ shí wàn jīng shí 。” nà diàn xiǎo èr xīng fèn de shēng yīn chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ ， zuò chéng le zhè bǐ shēn dà shēng yì ， tā yě huì yǒu bù shǎo tí chéng dì 。
“好，五十万晶石。”那店小二兴奋的声音传入了耳朵里，做成了这笔身大生意，他也会有不少提成地。
"Do you know where Master Fish lives? He supposedly crafted this Immortal Binding Ring."
“ wǔ shí wàn jīng shí ？”
“五十万晶石？”
"Finding Master Fish to forge treasures is impossible. His alchemy skills are among the best on this plane, so even those Cave Profound Elders may struggle to get him to craft anything for them," the attendant said frankly.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， yǐ tā de shēn jiā lái shuō ， zhè diǎn jīng shí ， zì rán shì méi shén me liǎo bù qǐ ， bù zhí yī tí ， dàn jiù yī yuán yīng jí bié de bǎo wù ， què yǒu diǎn guì le 。
林轩眉头一挑，以他的身家来说，这点晶石，自然是没什么了不起，不值一提，但就一元婴级别的宝物，却有点贵了。
"Oh, if he's that skilled, how did your store obtain this Immortal Binding Ring?" Lin Xuan continued smiling without showing any displeasure or anger.
dāng rán ， lín xuān bú huì zài yì ， hěn shuǎng kuài de ná chū jīng shí ， jiāng bǎo wù shōu rù le huái lǐ 。
当然，林轩不会在意，很爽快的拿出晶石，将宝物收入了怀里。
The attendant blushed but since the item had already been sold, there was no need to hide anything. He hesitated slightly before speaking: "I'm not entirely sure, but I heard that Master Fish is going to forge another treasure and this Immortal Binding Ring was just a test."
“ duì le ， lín mǒu yào wèn nǐ yí gè wèn tí 。” lín xuān tū rán zhuǎn guò shēn tǐ 。
“对了，林某要问你一个问题。”林轩突然转过身体。
A test? Using Cloud Forging Technique for such a trial run made Lin Xuan genuinely interested in the other treasure.
“ qián bèi yǒu shì qǐng shuō ， wǎn bèi yí dìng zhī wú bù yán de 。”
“前辈有事请说，晚辈一定知无不言的。”

Of course, "majestic" was relative. With Lin Xuan's extensive experience, he had seen even larger and more imposing immortal cities before. Thus, his face did not show any signs of surprise.
