yǔ tóng jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， yōng yǒu de zōng mén jiā zú yǐ bǎi wàn jì shù ， zhì yú xiū xiān zhě luò jiǎo jù jí de chéng chí ， shù liàng gèng shì lí pǔ 。
雨桐界面积广博，拥有的宗门家族以百万计数，至于修仙者落脚聚集的城池，数量更是离谱。
The Rain桐 Realm was vast, with countless sects and clans numbering in the millions. As for the cities where cultivators gathered, the number was beyond count.
jù tǐ yǒu duō shǎo ， gēn běn jiù wú rén tǒng jì guò ， jīng què de shù liàng ， shuí yě shuō bù qīng chǔ 。
具体有多少，根本就无人统计过，精确的数量，谁也说不清楚。
No one had ever attempted to tally them up; the exact numbers were a mystery.
luò xīng chéng jiù shì qí zhōng yí gè 。
落星城就是其中一个。
One of these cities was Lost Star City.
zhè zuò xiān chéng cún zài yǒu duō shǎo nián le ， shuí yě shuō bù qīng chǔ ， běn shēn yě wú tài duō de chū zhòng zhī chù ， bù guò jiāo tōng què shì jí wéi biàn lì ， bié de bù tí ， chéng zhōng yōng yǒu de chuán sòng zhèn ， néng gòu shùn xī qiān lǐ 。
这座仙城存在有多少年了，谁也说不清楚，本身也无太多的出众之处，不过交通却是极为便利，别的不提，城中拥有的传送阵，能够瞬息千里。
How long this Immortal City had existed was anyone's guess. It lacked any outstanding features but its transportation was extremely convenient. The city boasted teleportation arrays that could instantly transport someone a thousand miles away.
dāng rán ， chāo yuǎn jù lí chuán sòng huā fèi de jīng shí ， nà yě shì tiān wén shù zì ， pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， kě bù gǎn yòng rú cǐ shē chǐ de fāng shì gǎn lù 。
当然，超远距离传送花费的晶石，那也是天文数字，普通的修仙者，可不敢用如此奢侈的方式赶路。
Of course, using such an array over vast distances cost astronomical amounts of crystal stones, which ordinary cultivators couldn't afford to waste on such luxuries.
chuán sòng zhèn de jià zhí jì rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， shǒu wèi zì rán yě sēn rán dào le jí chù 。
传送阵的价值既然非同小可，守卫自然也森然到了极处。
Given the importance of these teleportation arrays, their guards were naturally very strict.
zhè shì yí gè píng jìng de shàng wǔ 。
这是一个平静的上午。
It was a tranquil morning. In one of the Teleportation Hall deep within Lost Star City, several armored guards stood idly chatting outside.
luò xīng chéng nèi mǒu chù chóng chóng jìn zhì bāo wéi de chuán sòng dà diàn zhōng ， jǐ míng pī jiān zhí ruì de wèi shì zhèng zhàn zài mén kǒu chù xián liáo zhe shén me shì qíng 。
落星城内某处重重禁制包围的传送大殿中，几名披坚执锐的卫士正站在门口处闲聊着什么事情。
Suddenly, without any warning, one of the parallel teleportation arrays began to activate. A burst of spiritual light filled the air, and a continuous rumbling sound echoed in their ears.
tū rán ， sī háo zhēng zhào yě wú ， nà shí jǐ zuò bìng pái chuán sòng zhèn de yī zuò ， tū rán yùn zhuàn qǐ lái le ， yī shí jiān líng guāng dà zuò ， wū wū de hōng míng shēng bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
突然，丝毫征兆也无，那十几座并排传送阵的一座，突然运转起来了，一时间灵光大做，呜呜的轰鸣声不停传入耳朵。
The guards' expressions turned solemn as they realized that whoever was using the array was no ordinary cultivator. They should show reverence.
jǐ míng wèi shì yī dāi ， biǎo qíng dōu biàn dé sù rán le qǐ lái ， bì jìng néng shǐ yòng chuán sòng zhèn de cún zài dōu fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， tā men liǎn shàng dōu yīng gāi lù chū jìng wèi zhī sè 。
几名卫士一呆，表情都变得肃然了起来，毕竟能使用传送阵的存在都非同小可，于情于理，他们脸上都应该露出敬畏之色。
Otherwise, angering a high-ranking old monster could be fatal.
fǒu zé ， ruò shì yí bù xiǎo xīn chù nù mǒu míng dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， nà kě shì huì chī bù liǎo dōu zhe zǒu de 。
否则，若是一不小心触怒某名渡劫期老怪物，那可是会吃不了兜着走的。
Though the teleportation process seemed complex, it lasted only an instant.
chuán sòng de guò chéng shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí yě bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu 。
传送的过程说来繁复，其实也不过瞬息的功夫。
Soon, the light spread outwards.
hěn kuài ， nà guāng yùn jiù cháo zhe sì zhōu sàn kāi 。
很快，那光晕就朝着四周散开。
As people appeared on the array, two figures became clearer: one male and one female who looked very intimate. If his guess was correct, they were likely a couple practicing dual cultivation.
chuán sòng zhèn shàng miàn de rén yǐng ， zé zhú jiàn qīng xī le qǐ lái 。
传送阵上面的人影，则逐渐清晰了起来。
Both looked no more than twenty years old, incredibly youthful.
yī nán yī nǚ ， kàn shén tài pǒ wèi qīn mì ， ruò shì méi yǒu liào cuò ， yīng gāi shì yī duì shuāng xiū dào lǚ 。
一男一女，看神态颇为亲密，若是没有料错，应该是一对双修道侣。
However, in the world of cultivation, judging someone's age by appearance alone was unreliable.
kàn róng mào ， dōu zhǐ yǒu èr shí yú suì nián jì ， nián qīng yǐ jí 。
看容貌，都只有二十余岁年纪，年轻以极。
The guards' faces showed no signs of negligence.
rán ér zài xiū xiān jiè ， gū suàn yí gè rén de nián jì ， kě bù néng guāng píng róng mào zuò wéi cān kǎo 。
然而在修仙界，估算一个人的年纪，可不能光凭容貌作为参考。
One had already summoned a round talisman-shaped treasure.
zhòng wèi shì liǎn shàng bù gǎn yǒu rèn hé dài màn zhī sè 。
众卫士脸上不敢有任何怠慢之色。
Of course, he wasn't being disrespectful. This talisman served only to determine their cultivator's realm.
qí zhōng yí gè yǐ jiāng shǒu zhōng de yuán pán zhuàng fǎ bǎo jì chū 。
其中一个已将手中的圆盘状法宝祭出。
Soon, two golden light points appeared on the talisman: "It’s... an old ancestor at the Tribulation Transcending stage!"
dāng rán 。 tā kě bú shì gǎn duì liǎng rén wú lǐ ， cǐ yuán pán de zuò yòng zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， jiù shì pàn duàn lái zhě de jìng jiè jiū jìng rú hé ？
当然。他可不是敢对两人无礼，此圆盘的作用只有一个，就是判断来者的境界究竟如何？
Rain桐 Realm was home to many experts, and the number of Tribulation Transcending elders far exceeded that of other realms. However, for ordinary cultivators, such beings were still rare.
hěn kuài ， shàng miàn jiù yǒu jīn sè de guāng diǎn fú xiàn ér chū ， qiě shì liǎng gè 。
很快，上面就有金色的光点浮现而出，且是两个。
The guards' expressions turned respectful in awe.
nà xiē wèi shì de liǎn shàng zì rán lù chū dà wèi chī jīng de shén sè ：“ shì …… shì dù jié qī lǎo zǔ ！”
那些卫士的脸上自然露出大为吃惊的神色：“是……是渡劫期老祖！”
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile as he shook his head, dispelling any lingering dizziness. Moon was snuggled beside him, looking like a little bird.
yǔ tóng jiè gāo shǒu zhòng duō ， dù jié qī dà néng de shù liàng zì rán yě yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò qí tā de jiè miàn le 。
雨桐界高手众多，渡劫期大能的数量自然也远远胜过其他的界面了。
"Where are we?"
rán ér zhè zhǐ shì xiāng duì lái shuō ， zhè zhǒng děng jí de cún zài yú pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， yī jiù shì nán dé yī jiàn de 。
然而这只是相对来说，这种等级的存在于普通的修仙者，依旧是难得一见的。
"The senior, this is Lost Star City."
zhòng wèi shì jīng yà zhī yú ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng zì rán gōng jìng wú bǐ 。
众卫士惊讶之余，脸上的表情自然恭敬无比。
The leading guard replied respectfully.
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān zé lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， huǎng le huǎng tóu lú 。 nà xiē wēi xuàn yūn de gǎn jué yě jiù xiāo shī bú jiàn le ， yuè ér zé yī wēi zài tā de shēn cè ， yī fù xiǎo niǎo yī rén zhī sè 。
林轩的嘴角边则露出一丝笑意，晃了晃头颅。那些微眩晕的感觉也就消失不见了，月儿则依偎在他的身侧，一副小鸟依人之色。
"Lost Star City? This shouldn't be part of the Boundless Sea anymore!"
“ zhè ér shì nǎ lǐ 。”
“这儿是哪里。”
"You're correct, Senior. We are no longer in the Boundless Sea."
“ qǐ bǐng qián bèi ， zhè lǐ shì luò xīng chéng 。”
“启禀前辈，这里是落星城。”
"Good!"
wéi shǒu de wèi shì bì gōng bì jìng de huí dá 。
为首的卫士毕恭毕敬的回答。
Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction as he said no more. He emitted a faint green glow and left the building with Moon. They stepped out onto the street.
“ luò xīng chéng ， zhè ér yīng gāi yǐ jīng bù shǔ yú wú biān hǎi le ba ！”
“落星城，这儿应该已经不属于无边海了吧！”
Of course, both slightly suppressed their aura, keeping their cultivation at the Spirit Gathering stage.
“ qián bèi suǒ yán bù cuò ， zhè lǐ què shí yǐ jīng bú shì wú biān hǎi 。”
“前辈所言不错，这里确实已经不是无边海。”
Though his purpose was to make friends, he knew better than to stand out too much in this city, attracting unwanted attention from other cultivators.
“ hǎo ！”
“好！”
Strike when the iron is hot and retreat when necessary. That was the wisdom of adaptability.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， bù zài duō shuō ， hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， dài zhe yuè ér lí kāi yǎn qián de jiàn zhù 。 lái dào wài miàn de jiē shàng le 。
林轩脸上露出满意之色，不再多说，浑身青芒一起，带着月儿离开眼前的建筑。来到外面的街上了。
...
dāng rán ， liǎng rén dōu lüè lüè shōu liǎn le qì xī ， jiāng xiū wèi jìn gù zài fēn shén qī 。
当然，两人都略略收敛了气息，将修为禁锢在分神期。
Lin Xuan first visited a bookstore, buying several jade cylinder scrolls.
suī rán zhè cì wài chū yóu lì ， dǎ zhe guǎng jié shàn yuán de zhǔ yì 。 dàn sú huà shuō guò yóu bù jí ， zài zhè chéng lǐ ， lín xuān kě bù xiǎng hè lì jī qún ， yǐn lái zhòng duō xiū shì de zhǔ yì 。
虽然这次外出游历，打着广结善缘的主意。但俗话说过犹不及，在这城里，林轩可不想鹤立鸡群，引来众多修士的主意。
In an unfamiliar place, reading books was the smartest choice to understand local customs.
gāi gāo diào de shí hòu gāo diào 。 gāi shōu liǎn de shí hòu yě yīng gāi shōu liǎn yī xiē ， yùn yòng zhī miào ， cún hū yī xīn 。 jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ 。
该高调的时候高调。该收敛的时候也应该收敛一些，运用之妙，存乎一心。就是这个道理。
He always did so in every realm he visited.
……
……
After returning with his purchases, he took Moon to a fine restaurant.
jiē xià lái de shí jiān ， lín xuān xiān qù le yī tàng shū diàn ， mǎi huí lái jǐ gè yù tóng jiǎn 。
接下来的时间，林轩先去了一趟书店，买回来几个玉瞳简。
The best restaurant in Lost Star City!
lái dào yī mò shēng de dì diǎn ， xiǎng yào liǎo jiě fēng tǔ rén qíng ， duō kàn shū ， shì zuì wèi cōng míng de xuǎn zé 。
来到一陌生的地点，想要了解风土人情，多看书，是最为聪明的选择。
Though cultivators could practice alchemy and survive without food, many still enjoyed delicious dishes.
bù lùn zài nǎ ge jiè miàn de shí hòu ， lín xuān dōu yí xiàng zhè me zuò 。
不论在哪个界面的时候，林轩都一向这么做。
Compared to mortal cuisine, the food in Immortal cities was incomparably exquisite. The age of their wine was often measured in centuries.
mǎn zài ér guī zhī hòu ， tā yòu dài zhe yuè ér qù le yī jiā jiǔ lóu 。
满载而归之后，他又带着月儿去了一家酒楼。
If you had enough crystal stones, you could even drink a thousand-year-old spirit wine.
luò xīng chéng zhōng zuì hǎo de jiǔ lóu ！
落星城中最好的酒楼！
Of course, wines over ten thousand years old were rare treasures!
xiū xiān zhě suī kě bì gǔ ， dàn xǐ huān měi wèi jiā yáo de yě bù zài shǎo shù 。
修仙者虽可辟谷，但喜欢美味佳肴的也不在少数。
Lin Xuan brought Moon to this restaurant not just for the food but also to gather information. In teahouses and taverns, people liked to talk freely after drinking their fill.
ér qiě yǔ fán jiān de shí wù xiāng bǐ ， xiān chéng zhōng de yǐn shí ， wèi dào zì rán gèng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， měi jiǔ de nián fèn ， tōng cháng yě shì yǐ bǎi nián jì suàn de 。
而且与凡间的食物相比，仙城中的饮食，味道自然更是非同小可，美酒的年份，通常也是以百年计算的。
Though most of what they said was empty boasting, occasionally, useful tidbits could be heard.
ruò shì nǐ de jīng shí chōng zú ， shèn zhì kě yǐ hē dào qiān nián líng jiǔ 。
若是你的晶石充足，甚至可以喝到千年灵酒。
...
dāng rán ， wàn nián yǐ shàng de líng jiǔ ， jiù shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú ！
当然，万年以上的灵酒，就是可遇而不可求！
His main goal, however, was rest. If he could hear any news about the Seven Treasures of Mordred, that would be a bonus.
ér lín xuān dài zhe yuè ér lái dào jiǔ lóu ， yě bù quán shì wèi le mǎn zú kǒu fù zhī yù ， zài xiū xī de tóng shí ， yě xiǎng yào dǎ tàn xiāo xī ， chá lóu jiǔ sì ， rén men zài ěr rè jiǔ hān zhī yú ， yuán běn jiù xǐ huān gāo tán kuò lùn dì 。
而林轩带着月儿来到酒楼，也不全是为了满足口腹之欲，在休息的同时，也想要打探消息，茶楼酒肆，人们在耳热酒酣之余，原本就喜欢高谈阔论地。
This thought flashed through his mind but Lin Xuan didn't believe in such good fortune. He doubted he'd easily uncover clues related to the Seven Treasures of Mordred.
suī rán dà bù fèn rén ， dōu shì zài hú chuī dà qì ， dàn ǒu ěr ， yě néng tīng dào yī xiē yǒu yòng de xiāo xī 。
虽然大部分人，都是在胡吹大气，但偶尔，也能听到一些有用的消息。
Even without luck, it was still enjoyable to taste fine food and rest.
dāng rán ， lín xuān de zhǔ yào mù dì ， hái shì xiū xī ， ruò shì yùn qì bù cuò ， tīng dào yǔ xiū luó qī bǎo yǒu yòng de xiāo xī ， nà jiù tài hǎo le 。
当然，林轩的主要目的，还是休息，若是运气不错，听到与修罗七宝有用的消息，那就太好了。
Lin Xuan and Moon went upstairs to a window seat where they ordered a full table of dishes and a pot of wine. They enjoyed their meal.
dāng rán ， zhè ge niàn tou jǐn jǐn shì zài nǎo hǎi zhōng yī shǎn ér guò ， biàn shì lín xuān zì jǐ ， yě bù jué dé ， zì jǐ de yùn qì ， néng hǎo dào zhè bān chéng dù ， rú cǐ qīng yì ， jiù dǎ tīng dào yǔ xiū luó qī bǎo yǒu guān de xiàn suǒ 。
当然，这个念头仅仅是在脑海中一闪而过，便是林轩自己，也不觉得，自己的运气，能好到这般程度，如此轻易，就打听到与修罗七宝有关的线索。
Indeed, this restaurant had good business. Everywhere he looked, tables were filled with cultivators drinking and eating heartily.
yī wú suǒ huò yě méi yǒu shén me ， jiù dāng pǐn cháng měi wèi jiā xiū xī hǎo le 。
一无所获也没有什么，就当品尝美味加休息好了。
Without deliberately releasing his divine sense, Lin Xuan could hear every conversation clearly.
lín xuān yǔ yuè ér lái dào èr lóu ， yào le yí gè kào chuāng de wèi zhì ， yòu diǎn le mǎn mǎn yī zhuō jiǔ cài ， wài jiā yī hú měi jiǔ ， rán hòu biàn jīn jīn yǒu wèi de chī le qǐ lái 。
林轩与月儿来到二楼，要了一个靠窗的位置，又点了满满一桌酒菜，外加一壶美酒，然后便津津有味的吃了起来。
"Say, isn't the View Tower Pavilion being too stubborn?"
hái bié shuō ， zhè zuò jiǔ lóu de shēng yì hěn bú cuò ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， dōng yī zhuō ， xī yī zhuō ， dào chù dōu yǒu xiū shì wéi zuò zài yì qǐ ， tuī bēi huàn zhǎn ， chī dé shì rè huǒ cháo tiān 。
还别说，这座酒楼的生意很不错，放眼望去，东一桌，西一桌，到处都有修士围坐在一起，推杯换盏，吃得是热火朝天。
A rough voice suddenly caught his attention. The topic was unrelated to the Seven Treasures of Mordred, but it drew his interest.
lín xuān bù yòng kè yì jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， jiù néng jiāng tā men de shēng yīn ， tīng dé qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
林轩不用刻意将神识放出，就能将他们的声音，听得清清楚楚。
View Tower Pavilion!
“ nǐ men shuō ， zhè wàng tíng lóu shì bú shì bù shí shí wù 。”
“你们说，这望亭楼是不是不识时务。”
Only a few beings had ascended from the Twelve States of Heaven Cloud to the Spirit Realm: Moon and himself, and their sworn sister, Dream Like Safflower.
tū rán ， yī yǒu xiē cū háo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suǒ shuō de nèi róng ， yě yǔ xiū luó qī bǎo ， sī háo guān xì yě wú ， rán ér lín xuān de zhù yì lì ， què yī xià zi bèi xī yǐn guò qù le 。
突然，一有些粗豪的声音传入耳朵，所说的内容，也与修罗七宝，丝毫关系也无，然而林轩的注意力，却一下子被吸引过去了。
Safflower Immortal had been absent for years. Lin Xuan had searched far and wide without finding any trace of her, making him quite concerned.
wàng tíng lóu ！
望亭楼！
As for the First Mortal World's top cultivator, View Tower Pavilion, he lived well in the Spirit Realm.
dāng chū ， cóng tiān yún shí èr zhōu fēi shēng dào líng jiè de cún zài kě bù duō ， chú le yuè ér yǔ zì jǐ liǎng gè ， jiù zhǐ yǒu wàng tíng lóu yǔ zì jǐ de jié bài jiě jiě ， mèng rú yān le 。
当初，从天云十二州飞升到灵界的存在可不多，除了月儿与自己两个，就只有望亭楼与自己的结拜姐姐，梦如嫣了。
For some reason, his relationship with Master Dragon was surprisingly good. Thanks to Master Dragon’s protection, he led a comfortable life in the Spirit Realm.
rú yān xiān zi duō nián lái yì zhí fāng zōng liǎo wú ， lín xuān duō fāng dǎ tīng ， yě méi yǒu tā de xiàn suǒ ， xīn zhōng shì pǒ wèi guà niàn de 。
如嫣仙子多年来一直芳踪了无，林轩多方打听，也没有她的线索，心中是颇为挂念的。
Lin Xuan had met View Tower Pavilion several times: once when searching for a spirit gathering pill in the Demon Realm and another time at Master Dragon's wedding.
zhì yú rén jiè dì yī gāo shǒu wàng tíng lóu ， zài líng jiè zé guò dé bù cuò 。
至于人界第一高手望亭楼，在灵界则过得不错。
At that time, during Master Dragon and Immortal Lady Qianqian's dual cultivation ceremony, View Tower Pavilion’s realm was already at the late Spirit Gathering stage. His progress over the years was truly remarkable, though it made sense given his connection to Master Dragon.
bù zhī dào wèi shén me ， tā yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén jū rán jiāo qíng bù sú ， yǒu nài lóng zhào fú ， zài líng jiè huó dé fēi cháng zī rùn le 。
不知道为什么，他与鼐龙真人居然交情不俗，有鼐龙照拂，在灵界活得非常滋润了。
But why would he be living here? Was it just a coincidence or were there other cultivators with the same name and surname?
The Rain桐 Realm was vast, with countless sects and clans numbering in the millions. As for the cities where cultivators gathered, the number was beyond count.
No one had ever attempted to tally them up; the exact numbers were a mystery.
One of these cities was Lost Star City.
How long this Immortal City had existed was anyone's guess. It lacked any outstanding features but its transportation was extremely convenient. The city boasted teleportation arrays that could instantly transport someone a thousand miles away.

However, in the world of cultivation, judging someone's age by appearance alone was unreliable.
The guards' faces showed no signs of negligence.
One had already summoned a round talisman-shaped treasure.
Of course, he wasn't being disrespectful. This talisman served only to determine their cultivator's realm.
