故地重游,林轩的心情却是不一样,上次是不得已才混入墨月族里,好在历经辛苦,总算的到了不少好处,除了碧幻幽火的秘术,还淬炼出灵根来了,否则林轩虽有许多丹药吞服,仙道能否走到这一步,多半还是未知之数。
Revisiting the old place, Lin Xuan's mood was different. Last time, he had no choice but to infiltrate the Mo Yue Clan, and fortunately, after much hardship, he managed to gain a lot of benefits. Besides mastering the secret technique of the Azure Illusionary Flame, he also cultivated his Spirit Root. Otherwise, with all those pills he ingested, it was still uncertain whether he could reach this level in cultivation.
ér zhè yī huí , zé shì wèi le lǚ xíng duì bǎi dú shén jūn de chéng nuò , lín xuān shēng píng pèi fú de rén bù duō , zhè wèi nì tiān jí de wū shī suàn yí gè 。
而这一回,则是为了履行对百毒神君的承诺,林轩生平佩服的人不多,这位逆天级的巫师算一个。
This time, however, it was to fulfill a promise made to the Immortal Demon Supreme Lord. Lin Xuan admired few people in his life, and this reverse-fate-level witch counted as one of them.
yáo xiǎng dāng nián , tā bù guò qū qū èr shí yú zài jiù níng jié le jīn dān 。
遥想当年,他不过区区二十余载就凝结了金丹。
Recalling the past, he had condensed his Golden Core at just over twenty years old. The speed was astonishing, leaving many speechless. Later, during his training in Youzhou, he took pleasure in settling scores. Eventually, he provoked the True Immortal of Azure Cloud Mountain to intervene.
dù zhī kuài , lìng rén chēng mù jié shé , suí hòu , yòu zài qù yōu zhōu lì liàn de guò chéng zhōng , kuài yì ēn chóu , zuì hòu rě dé le bì yún shān de tài xū zhēn rén chū shǒu 。
度之快,令人瞠目结舌,随后,又在去幽州历练的过程中,快意恩仇,最后惹得了碧云山的太虚真人出手。
At that time, the Immortal Demon Supreme Lord was only at the Condensation Core stage. Yet, facing a powerful Incarnation Stage expert, he remained unafraid and engaged in battle for several days until both were severely injured.
bǎi dú shén jūn dāng shí , bù guò níng dān qī , kě miàn duì yuán yīng lǎo guài , què yí rán bù jù , shuāng fāng huǒ bìng le shù rì zhī jiǔ , zuì hòu yě bù guò shì liǎng bài jù shāng de jié jú 。
百毒神君当时,不过凝丹期,可面对元婴老怪,却怡然不惧,双方火并了数日之久,最后也不过是两败俱伤的结局。
Such matters would be hard to believe, but even though Lin Xuan could challenge an Incarnation Stage cultivator when his Golden Core was fully matured, it wasn't due to any extraordinary abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stood a chance against such powerful opponents, despite their similar cultivation levels, as the difference in power and techniques was vast.
zhè zhǒng shì qíng , shuō chū qù dōu méi rén xìn , suī rán lín xuān zì tǎo , zài níng dān qī dà yuán mǎn de shí hòu , yě bú shì bù néng huǒ bìng yuán yīng xiū shì , dàn nà shì yóu yú , tā tǐ nèi hái yǒu yí gè mó 。 máo , fǒu zé shí yǒu **, yě dǎ bù guò nà zhǒng děng jià de lǎo guài wù , bì jìng biǎo miàn shàng jìng jiè suī xiāng chà bù duō , dàn fǎ lì shén tōng , què shì yǒu tiān yuān zhī bié de 。
这种事情,说出去都没人信,虽然林轩自讨,在凝丹期大圆满的时候,也不是不能火并元婴修士,但那是由于,他体内还有一个魔。蝥,否则十有**,也打不过那种等价的老怪物,毕竟表面上境界虽相差不多,但法力神通,却是有天渊之别的。
A small margin made all the difference; challenging higher ranks was not unheard of but required careful planning. Lin Xuan sank his divine consciousness into the jade scroll, and an elaborate map instantly appeared in his mind.
chā zhī háo lí , miù yǐ qiān lǐ , yuè jí tiǎo zhàn , zài xiū xiān jiè bú shì méi yǒu , dàn jī hū dōu cún zài yú chuán shuō ……
差之毫厘,谬以千里,越级挑战,在修仙界不是没有,但几乎都存在于传说……
Unlike the Qin Clan in Youzhou, Mo Yue was a nomadic tribe that scattered across various tribes. Even after fleeing to the Ku Yin Mountains, this custom remained unchanged. With their territory vast enough for survival, only about one hundred thousand people lived here, making it neither too crowded nor sparse.
shì zhēn shì jiǎ , shuí yě shuō bù qīng chǔ 。
是真是假,谁也说不清楚。
Numerous tribes were scattered throughout this region, with the Poplar Tribe having over ten thousand inhabitants. In Youzhou, that number was insignificant, but in Mo Yue, it was a medium-sized tribe. The recent ghostly calamity had not affected them, and after years of recuperation, there were now more than a hundred witches.
ér bǎi dú shén jūn jiù shì zhè me yī wèi nì tiān jí de rén wù , kě xī tiān dù yīng cái …… bù , zhèng què de shuō shì bǎi dú shén jūn suī rán xiū wèi gāo shēn , dàn xīn jì chéng fǔ , què dà guò zhì nèn , bù gòu fù hēi yīn hěn , zhōng le shī dì de de yǔ tào , zuì hòu cái luò de zhè me yí gè kě bēi de xià chǎng 。
而百毒神君就是这么一位逆天级的人物,可惜天妒英才……不,正确的说是百毒神君虽然修为高深,但心计城府,却大过稚嫩,不够腹黑阴狠,中了师弟的的圉套,最后才落得这么一个可悲的下场。
To the west and north, two other tribes with populations of about fifty thousand and seventy thousand respectively also existed. Despite being from different tribes, they had lived side by side for many years, forming good relations among themselves.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ , lín xuān bù yóu de yī zhèn xī xū , nà hùn yuán lǎo zǔ , bú shì shén me hǎo dōng xī , zhè jǐ shí nián guò qù , xiǎng bì tā jiù suàn yùn qì zài hǎo , yě bù guò jìn jià yuán yīng zhōng qī , ér tóng jiē xiū shì duì lín xuān lái shuō , shí zài méi shén me liǎo bù qǐ 。
想到这里,林轩不由的一阵唏嘘,那混元老祖,不是什么好东西,这几十年过去,想必他就算运气再好,也不过进价元婴中期,而同阶修士对林轩来说,实在没什么了不起。
In their trading area, various goods were exchanged, and over time, a market began to form. While most businesses targeted ordinary people, there were several shops catering specifically to witches, similar to the markets of cultivators.
qí jīng hún xuè jì , yī lái suàn shì duì xiàn le xī rì chéng nuò , èr lái , duì yú mò yuè zú de nà piān zhèn zú zhī bǎo , lín xuān zǎo jiù chuí xián yù dī 。
其精魂血祭,一来算是兑现了昔日承诺,二来,对于墨月族的那篇镇族之宝,林轩早就垂涎欲滴。
It was not unusual in Mo Yue that witches lived alongside ordinary people, so the integration between the market and the bazaar made sense. The largest among these was the Poplar Residence.
yī zhāo bì huàn yōu huǒ yǐ jīng ràng qí shòu yòng bù jìn , jù shuō lǐ miàn de mì shù , hái yǒu shí jǐ zhǒng zhī duō , rú guǒ quán bù xué huì le 。 zì jǐ de shén tōng huì bào zhǎng dào shén me chéng dù , lín xuān zì jǐ dōu yǒu xiē qī dài le 。
一招碧幻幽火已经让其受用不尽,据说里面的秘术,还有十几种之多,如果全部学会了。自己的神通会暴涨到什么程度,林轩自己都有些期待了。
One morning, as the sun rose, many shops had yet to open when a voice filled with anger and shock echoed from within the Poplar Residence. Its volume was so loud that it could be heard several dozen meters away.
shēn chū shé tou , tiǎn le tiǎn zuǐ jiǎo 。 lín xuān zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī jū , jiāng yī méi hēi sè de yù tǒng jiǎn qǔ le chū lái 。
伸出舌头,舔了舔嘴角。林轩在储物袋上一拘,将一枚黑色的玉筒简取了出来。
Many people looked surprised and approached the residence. Soon after, several witches arrived, causing others to disperse. But news quickly spread that the Poplar Residence had been burgled last night.
shuō qǐ cǐ wù , hái shì tā dāng nián gāng dào mò yuè zú , yì wài jī shā le nà míng xiǎo wū shī , dé dào dì , lǐ miàn bìng fēi gōng fǎ bǎo wù 。 ér shì mò yuè zú lǐng dì de dì tú 。
说起此物,还是他当年刚到墨月族,意外击杀了那名小巫师,得到地,里面并非功法宝物。而是墨月族领地的地图。
People exchanged glances, almost thinking they were hearing things. After all, a Condensation Core witch was stationed in this market every night, sleeping right at the Poplar Residence. According to one of the witches, he heard nothing unusual. How could this be? Only three Incarnation Stage witches, who were the leaders of their tribes, had such abilities.
hái hǎo zhè bù qǐ yǎn de shì wù , lín xuān suī rán zǎo jiù wàng jì , dàn zǒng suàn méi yǒu suí shǒu diū qì -, fǒu zé shàng huǎng guò qù le liù shí yú zài , xiū xiān zhě suī bó wén qiáng jì , dàn zhè lǐ de dì xíng , lín xuān yǒu yìn xiàng de , zuì duō yě jiù zhǐ shèng xià shǎo xǔ 。
还好这不起眼的事物,林轩虽然早就忘记,但总算没有随手丢弃-,否则上晃过去了六十余载,修仙者虽博闻强记,但这里的地形,林轩有印象的,最多也就只剩下少许。
But why would they risk their reputations for petty theft?
nà yàng de huà , kě jiù yǒu xiē má fán le 。
那样的话,可就有些麻烦了。
Fortunately, the stolen items weren’t many: a simple witch’s robe, a few unimportant jade scrolls, and some rare herbs. The only thing that mattered was the value of those herbs.
suī rán sōu hún kě yǐ zōu jué - wèn tí 。 dàn lín xuān duì dài dí rén gù rán xīn hěn , běn zhì shàng què bìng fēi shén me cán rěn shì shā zhī rén , wèi le zhè diǎn xiǎo shì jiù làn shā wú gū , duō shǎo hái shì yǒu diǎn bù yuàn yì lín xuān jiāng shén shí chén rù yù tǒng , yī fú xiáng jìn de dì tú dùn shí jìn rù le nǎo hǎi zhōng 。
虽然搜魂可以邹决-问题。但林轩对待敌人固然心狠,本质上却并非什么残忍嗜杀之人,为了这点小事就滥杀无辜,多少还是有点不愿意林轩将神识沉入玉筒,一幅详尽的地图顿时进入了脑海中。
Despite this, the witches were still surprised by the audacity of the thief. If they had entered, why didn't they steal everything? Regardless, no clues were found, so the matter was left unresolved.
yǔ yōu zhōu de qín zú bù tóng 。 mò yuè shǔ yú yóu mù mín zú , xiàng lái shì yǐ bù luò wèi dān wèi sǎn jū , jí biàn shì táo dào kuí yīn shān mài yǐ hòu , zhè ge fēng sú yī jiù bǎo chí zhe 。
与幽州的秦族不同。墨月属于游牧民族,向来是以部落为单位散居,即便是逃到奎阴山脉以后,这个风俗依旧保持着。
Meanwhile, about twenty miles away from the Poplar Residence market, in a secluded forest, a young man dressed as a witch held an jade scroll and sank his divine consciousness into it.
fǎn zhèng yāo shòu huà gěi tā men de dì pán gòu dà ,Fs gāi zú lì jīng dà jié yǐ hòu , rén kǒu bù duō , shù wàn lǐ zhī dì , yǐ zú gòu tā men fán yǎn shēng xī , xiǎn de bìng bù yōng jǐ 。
反正妖兽划给他们的地盘够大,Fs该族历经大劫以后,人口不多,数万里之地,已足够他们繁衍生息,显得并不拥挤。
Although he wore a witch’s robe, his features and physique clearly belonged to Lin Xuan. While eliminating the mixed-matter old ancestor shouldn’t be too difficult, Lin Xuan wouldn't rashly enter their stronghold. After all, that guy outsmarted the Immortal Demon Supreme Lord; his intelligence was formidable. Against such cunning opponents, even with an advantage in strength, one must remain cautious.
shù shí gè bù luò xīng luó qí bù de sàn luò zài zhè yī piàn qū yù 。
数十个部落星罗棋布的散落在这一片区域。
Thus, Lin Xuan decided to impersonate a low-rank witch and sneak into their territory undetected. This required a disguise and some jade scrolls for information gathering on Mo Yue’s changes over the past decades.
wú tóng bù de rén kǒu yǒu shí wàn zhī duō , fàng zài yōu zhōu guǒ rán bù zhí yī tí , dàn zài mò yuè zú , yǐ shì zhōng děng guī mó de bù luò 。
梧桐部的人口有十万之多,放在幽州果然不值一提,但在墨月族,已是中等规模的部落。
Initially, it was just a casual idea, but seeing the contents of the scroll shocked him. Fortunately, he had taken this scroll; otherwise, he might have faced difficulties due to Mo Yue's changes.
xī rì de yīn hún hào jié , bìng méi yǒu bō jí zhè lǐ , jīng guò rú cǐ duō nián de xiū yǎng shēng xī , gāi bù luò yǐ jīng yǒu yì bǎi duō míng wū shī 。
昔日的阴魂浩劫,并没有波及这里,经过如此多年的修养生息,该部落已经有一百多名巫师。
Recalling his last visit, when the mixed-matter old ancestor was only an Incarnation Stage witch, now there were two new ones: Yun Feng from the Rainbow Ring Tribe and Miao Youfairy maiden from the Silver Phoenix Tribe. Both had been famous witches in Mo Yue’s past. Lin Xuan had seen them at a witchcraft conference.
ér zài qí xī miàn hé běi miàn , fēn bié hái yǒu liǎng gè rén kǒu yuē wǔ wàn hé qī wàn de bù luò , běn shì tóng zú , yòu zuò le zhè me duō nián de lín jū , sān gè bù luò bǐ cǐ jiān de guān xì zì rán bù cuò 。
而在其西面和北面,分别还有两个人口约五万和七万的部落,本是同族,又做了这么多年的邻居,三个部落彼此间的关系自然不错。
The Rainbow Ring and Silver Phoenix tribes ranked second only to the Azure Moon Tribe. Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead, pondering. Although they were peak Condensation Core witches back then, condensing an Incarnation Core was much harder than expected. Could their rapid advancement be due to some extraordinary circumstances?
cháng cháng hù tōng yǒu wú , zài tā men de jiāo jiē chù , jiàn jiàn de yě jiù xíng chéng yī zuò jí shì le ér jí shì zào shí , suī rán dà bù fèn shēng yì , dōu shì zhēn duì fán rén ér shè , dàn yě yǒu jǐ jiā diàn pù , shì zhuān mén miàn duì wū shī de 。
常常互通有无,在他们的交接处,渐渐的也就形成一座集市了而集市皂十,虽然大部分生意,都是针对凡人而设,但也有几家店铺,是专门面对巫师的。
After a while, Lin Xuan shook his head. What did it matter if they had such opportunities? It didn’t concern him.
zuò yòng lèi sì yú xiū xiān zhě de fāng shì 。
作用类似于修仙者的坊市。
His purpose here was to use the mixed-matter old ancestor’s essence as blood sacrifice. While three Incarnation Stage witches were formidable, he wouldn't engage them directly. He could wait for an opportunity to strike and eliminate the mixed-matter old ancestor before escaping.
bù yòng hào qí , zài mò yuè zú , wū shī suī rán shēn fèn zūn chóng , dàn píng rì lǐ , jiù yǔ fán rén zá jū zài yì qǐ , fāng shì yǔ jí shì kāi zài yī chù , yě méi shén me hào qí guài de 。
不用好奇,在墨月族,巫师虽然身份尊崇,但平日里,就与凡人杂居在一起,坊市与集市开在一处,也没什么好奇怪的。
With a sinister smile on his face, Lin Xuan returned the jade scroll to his storage bag and flew towards Ku Yin City at high speed. Since he was impersonating a low-rank witch, he moved slowly, planning to act according to circumstances. He wasn't in a hurry.
wú tóng jū jiù shì - qí zhōng zuì dà de yī zuò 。
梧桐居就是-其中最大的一座。
In Ku Yin City, the Heaven Star Palace served as the mixed-matter old ancestor’s residence. Indeed, most high-rank witches likely lived here too. However, Yun Feng and Miao Youfairy maiden, though present, spent most of their time in their own tribes rather than this palace.
zhè tiān qīng chén , tài yáng gāng gāng shēng qǐ , bù shǎo diàn pù hái wèi kāi mén , wú tóng jū lǐ jiù xiǎng qǐ le jīng nù jiāo jí de shēng yīn 。
这天清晨,太阳刚刚升起,不少店铺还未开门,梧桐居里就响起了惊怒交集的声音。
This was normal; while relations among witches were generally harmonious compared to cultivators, there was still competition. The mixed-matter old ancestor’s betrayal of his senior brother proved that. Since the advancement of two new Incarnation Stage witches a decade ago, ordinary witches and common people in Mo Yue rejoiced, believing it was divine favor. However, some high-rank figures noticed a subtle change in relations among the three tribes.
nà sǎng mén zhī dà , shù shí mǐ wài dōu tīng dé qīng qīng chǔ chòu s。
那嗓门之大,数十米外都听得清清楚臭s。
Logically, Ku Yin Tribe was the largest, but Rainbow Ring and Silver Phoenix could not compare. Yun Feng and Miao Youfairy maiden had just advanced, stabilizing their Incarnation Core, making them unable to compete with the mixed-matter old ancestor at his peak stage. However, they were previously romantically involved, and now that both were Incarnates, they had become dual cultivation partners.
Revisiting the old place, Lin Xuan's mood was different. Last time, he had no choice but to infiltrate the Mo Yue Clan, and fortunately, after much hardship, he managed to gain a lot of benefits. Besides mastering the secret technique of the Azure Illusionary Flame, he also cultivated his Spirit Root.
