yí gè rú shì xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān shén niàn wēi dòng ， zǐ yǐng yī shǎn ， yī zhī jù dà de mó * shān chū xiàn zài le yǎn qián ， jīng guò shù nián jīng xīn wèi yǎng ， cǐ chóng suī méi yǒu wán quán chéng shú ， dàn tǐ zhǎng yǐ jiē jìn yī chǐ
一个如是想着，林轩神念微动，紫影一闪，一只巨大的魔*山出现在了眼前，经过数年精心喂养，此虫虽没有完全成熟，但体长已接近一尺
Lin Xuan pondered, his divine consciousness flickering. A purple shadow flashed, and a massive demon mountain appeared before him. After several years of careful feeding, although the creature was not fully matured, its body length had approached a foot, and its patterns on the surface had changed, resembling some mysterious runes.
le ， tǐ biǎo de huā wén yě yǒu gǎi biàn ， kàn shàng qù jìng xiàng shì mǒu zhǒng shén mì de fú wén yì bān 。
了，体表的花纹也有改变，看上去竞像是某种神秘的符文一般。
Red light shone from both eyes as a primitive wilderness aura surged forth.
shuāng yǎn hóng guāng sì shè ，—— gǔ mán huāng zhī qì pèi rán ér chū 。
双眼红光四射，——股蛮荒之气沛然而出。
Lin Xuan waved his hand, and the demon bee landed on his shoulder. Having already recognized him during incubation, there was no need to worry about any backlash.
lín xuān yī zhāo shǒu ， mó fēng jiù luò zài le tā de jiān bǎng shàng ， yóu yú zài fū huà shí yǐ jīng rèn zhǔ ，
林轩一招手，魔蜂就落在了他的肩膀上，由于在孵化时已经认主，
After examining this creature for a moment, Lin Xuan continued on his way.
suǒ yǐ dào bù yòng dān xīn yǒu fǎn shì wēi xiǎn de 。
所以倒不用担心有反噬危险的。
In the city of Mianshi, he arrived in the southern part of Yunzhou. The city was known for its freedom and openness, with various sects and outsiders gathering here. The city had several large markets, and daily transactions amounted to at least tens of millions of spirit stones.
jiāng cǐ chóng ná zài shǒu zhōng dǎ liàng piàn kè ， lín xuān huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， fēi xiàng le yuǎn chù de tiān
将此虫拿在手中打量片刻，林轩化为一道惊虹，飞向了远处的天
This was a huge piece of pie that should have attracted the attention of major sects, but Mianshi's unique location made it particularly valuable. It lay at the intersection between three powerful forces: the Lingpo Palace, Wanhun Valley, and the Spirit Manipulation Sect. These were ancient superpowers, part of the Twelve Cloud States' Seven Great Forces, with immense resources.
kōng 。
空。
The three powers had formed a balance of power, none willing to let any other take over Mianshi. The city's freedom was well-known, and its ruler was rumored to be an advanced late-stage Immortal Core cultivator.
shù rì hòu ， lín xuān huí lái ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè 。
数日后，林轩回来，脸上露出满意之色。
Mianshi Pavilion was one of the important buildings in Mianshi City. It housed complex teleportation arrays from ancient times that could instantly transport people across thousands of miles. Outside Yunzhou and Yanzhou, each of the Twelve Cloud States had several such arrays for inter-state communication.
tā yǐ zuò guò shí yàn le ， píng jiè yī zhī jiē jìn chéng shú tǐ de yù luó fēng ， duì shàng yī níng dān chū qī
他已做过实验了，凭借一只接近成熟体的玉罗蜂，对上一凝丹初期
These arrays were expensive to use; it cost tens of thousands of spirit stones just to travel between neighboring states. Lin Xuan paid 70,000 spirit stones to teleport from Jingzhou to Mianshi.
de xiū shì jū rán bù là xià fēng ， ér qiě chú le jù dú ， hái yǎn shēng chū yī xiē bié de fǔ zhù shén tōng ， zuì
的修士居然不落下风，而且除了剧毒，还衍生出一些别的辅助神通，最
At a local inn, Ma Teng, an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, was meditating when his round disk suddenly lit up. Startled, he opened his eyes and saw a golden ring about the size of a finger. "Someone is teleporting from Jingzhou," he exclaimed. "Who could be so wealthy?"
hòu jìng rán méi fèi duō dà gōng fu ， jiù shōu shí diào le duì shǒu 。
后竟然没费多大功夫，就收拾掉了对手。
Ma Teng quickly activated the array's defenses to prevent any potential danger. Once the barriers were down, a golden light appeared in the largest teleportation circle, accompanied by faint arcs.
zì jǐ shǒu zhōng kě shì yǒu shù qiān zhǐ dú chóng ， ér qiě hái kě yǐ jì xù fū huà ， rú guǒ néng jiāng kǔn ；
自己手中可是有数千只毒虫，而且还可以继续孵化，如果能将悃；
Curious, Ma Teng watched as a common-looking youth emerged. Wearing simple green robes, he exuded an aura of latent spiritual energy that was hard to discern. However, his night pearl-like artifact lit up with silvery light—indicating an advanced middle-stage Immortal Core cultivator.
men quán bù cuī shú ， bié shuō shén me dà xiū shì le ， jiù suàn duì shàng lí hé qī lǎo guài wù ， shuō bù dìng dōu yǒu
们全部催熟，别说什么大修士了，就算对上离合期老怪物，说不定都有
"Welcome to Mianshi City," Ma Teng said humbly. "I welcome you."
yī pīn zhī lì 。
一拼之力。
Lin Xuan replied coolly, "Mianshi City? I've finally arrived in Yunzhou."
lín xuān xīn zhōng àn xǐ ， jué dìng jiāng cǐ chóng jì xù sì yǎng xià qù 。
林轩心中暗喜，决定将此虫继续饲养下去。
"Yes, this is the southern part of Yunzhou's Ningxi Prefecture," Ma Teng explained, eager for any favor.
dāng rán ， yòng jí pǐn jīng shí cuī shú de fāng fǎ kěn dìng bù kào pǔ ， dào le yún zhōu yǐ hòu ， dé lìng xiǎng
当然，用极品晶石催熟的方法肯定不靠谱，到了云州以后，得另想
"Master, we're here!" Mo'er's voice echoed with excitement. Lin Xuan had been away from Biyun Mountain for over a year now. After eliminating the leaders of Xianxian Gorge and Leye Manor, he had headed south into Jingzhou territory.
tā cè 。
他策。
Lin Xuan was glad to be in Yunzhou, but found nothing of interest after exploring the region for nearly a year. The city's prosperity and advanced cultivation resources were impressive compared to the primitive regions like Biyun Mountain. However, the treasures that caught his eye were beyond what could be found in Jingzhou.
suí hòu de shí jiān lǐ ， lín xuān yòu zhǎo lái xú yīn fū fù ， duì tā men zuò le yī fān zhǔ tuō ，
随后的时间里，林轩又找来徐茵夫妇，对他们做了一番嘱托，
Deciding to stick to his original plan, Lin Xuan decided to head back to Yunzhou. But this time, he made a mistake. He had forgotten about the teleportation arrays while focusing on other matters of the Twelve Cloud States.
yě jiāng xuán mó ** de hòu bàn cè ， yǐ jí zì jǐ de xiū liàn xīn dé chuán gěi bǎo bèi tú dì le 。
也将玄魔**的后半册，以及自己的修炼心得传给宝贝徒弟了。
Using flight, he crossed through a notorious dangerous area known for its abundance of monsters and lack of human presence. Despite his confidence in Fanceng Nine Heavens Technique, Lin Xuan was ambushed by an advanced-stage transformed creature with special abilities.
yuè ér
月儿
A fierce battle ensued, but Lin Xuan emerged victorious. However, the creature used a mysterious technique to spread word about their encounter. This triggered a swarm of monsters pursuing Lin Xuan.
shù rì yǐ hòu ， yī dào jīng hóng lí kāi hào - bì yún shān 。
数日以后，一道惊虹离开号-碧云山。
While he could easily defeat any single opponent, the sheer number of enemies made it difficult for him to escape unscathed. He managed to evade the danger and leave the area, but was left shaken by his experience.
ér mò guò bù jiǔ ， jiù chuán chū léi yún shān zhuāng yǔ yī xiàn xiá dà zhǎng lǎo xiān hòu zuò huà de xiāo xī ， suī
而没过不久，就传出雷云山庄与一线峡大长老先后坐化的消息，虽
He wondered if there were no means of travel between the Twelve Cloud States. After considering this impossible, Lin Xuan inquired at a local market.
rán zhè xiē nián ， tiān xuán mén ， bài xuān gé dōu jǐn liàng bì miǎn yǔ zhè liǎng gè xī rì dà pài chōng tū ， dàn suí zhe
然这些年，天璇门，拜轩阁都尽量避免与这两个昔日大派冲突，但随着
To his dismay, he realized that his pride had led him to overlook such an important detail. The 70,000 spirit stones seemed like a large sum, but for Lin Xuan, it was trivial. He paid the fee and teleported into Mianshi City.
tā men shì lì dà zhǎng ， yǐ bù kě bì miǎn de yǐn qǐ duì fāng jǐng jué le 。
他们势力大涨，已不可避免的引起对方警觉了。
Upon arriving in Yunzhou, Lin Xuan was pleased. Using his divine sense to scan the area, he found more cultivators than expected. "Why are there so many cultivators here?" he wondered aloud.
lín xuān zhè huí lí kāi ， yě bù zhī dào duō jiǔ cái néng huí lái ， lín zǒu zhī qián ， dāng rán yào jiāng wēi xiǎn
林轩这回离开，也不知道多久才能回来，临走之前，当然要将危险
Ma Teng, a shrewd individual assigned to Mianshi Pavilion, quickly explained that this was one of the three major cultivation cities in Yunzhou, hence the abundance of fellow cultivators.
