“ kōng míng liú jīng ?”
“空明流晶?”
"Empty Bright Crystal?"
shùn xī zhī jiān , lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng biàn fú xiàn chū yǔ zhī xiāng guān de xìn xī 。
瞬息之间,李凡脑海中便浮现出与之相关的信息。
In a flash, Li Fan's mind conjured up information related to the Empty Bright Crystal.
kōng míng liú jīng nǎi shì yī zhǒng sī chóu zhuàng de gù tài jīng tǐ 。
空明流晶乃是一种丝绸状的固态晶体。
The Empty Bright Crystal was a solid crystalline substance in silk-like form. It could float in mid-air and move like flowing water, emitting a dazzling array of multicolored light.
néng gòu piāo fú zài kōng zhōng , liú shuǐ bān yóu dòng 。 gèng sàn fà zhe qī cǎi de mèng huàn guāng máng 。
能够漂浮在空中,流水般游动。更散发着七彩的梦幻光芒。
It was often used by female cultivators from the Xuanhuang Realm when forging treasures, making the treasures emit vibrant light whether in normal state or activated.
duō bèi xuán huáng jiè nǚ xiū shì duàn zào fǎ bǎo de shí hòu càn zá qí zhōng , shǐ de fǎ bǎo wú lùn shì zhèng cháng zhuàng tài xià 、 yì huò zhě bèi jī fā shí , dū huì shì fàng chū bān lán xuàn mù dì guāng huá 。
多被玄黄界女修士锻造法宝的时候掺杂其中,使的法宝无论是正常状态下、亦或者被激发时,都会释放出斑斓炫目的光华。
But...
dàn ……
但……
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, it seemed to have no other practical use.
chú le hǎo kàn zhī wài , sì hū yě bìng wú qí tā yòng chǔ 。
除了好看之外,似乎也并无其他用处。
Despite this, its production wasn't high and its price stayed around 8000 contribution points—neither too cheap nor expensive.
suǒ yǐ suī rán qí chǎn liàng bù suàn gāo , dàn jià gé yě jiù bǎo chí zài yī méi bā qiān diǎn gòng xiàn dù 、 bù gāo bù dī de dì bù 。
所以虽然其产量不算高,但价格也就保持在一枚八千点贡献度、不高不低的地步。
This seemingly superficial item was now being preemptively purchased by someone at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, risking potential repercussions if it were to be discovered.
jiù zhè me yí gè kàn shì huá ér bù shí de dōng xī , xiàn zài wàn xiān méng zǒng bù zhōng què yǒu rén mào zhe shì fā zhī hòu bèi qīng suàn de fēng xiǎn , dōu yào tí qián qiǎng gòu 。
就这么一个看似华而不实的东西,现在万仙盟总部中却有人冒着事发之后被清算的风险,都要提前抢购。
Clearly, the Empty Bright Crystal had something to do with the Transmission of Dao and the departure from the Xuanhuang Realm.
hěn xiǎn rán , zhè kōng míng liú jīng , yīng gāi gēn chuán fǎ zhēng zhào shí liù wèi hé dào 、 chū xuán huáng jiè yǒu guān 。
很显然,这空明流晶,应该跟传法征兆十六位合道、出玄黄界有关。
In Sun Family's secret chamber, Li Fan used his Primordial Mirror Essence and the Boundless Mirror to simultaneously investigate. He quickly detected vague messages and transactions related to it.
sūn jiā mì shì zhī zhōng , lǐ fán tiān xuán jìng běn yuán gēn wú liàng jìng kuī tàn shuāng guǎn qí xià , hěn kuài jiù chá jué dào le yī tiáo tiáo yǐn huì de yǔ zhī xiāng guān de chuán xùn , yǐ jí jiāo yì jì lù 。
孙家密室之中,李凡天玄镜本源跟无量镜窥探双管齐下,很快就察觉到了一条条隐晦的与之相关的传讯,以及交易记录。
These people were very discreet and cautious. Most would agree on a transaction in person using standard spirit stones after meeting through the Primordial Mirror. Occasionally, if the Primordial Mirror initiated an acquisition, they still posted the information for sale, ensuring a steady supply of Empty Bright Crystals in the market without significant price fluctuations.
zhè xiē rén zuò de hěn yǐn mì , yě hěn jǐn shèn 。
这些人做的很隐秘,也很谨慎。
However, as it changed hands, most of the Empty Bright Crystals were gradually controlled by one group. The so-called transactions were merely a case of passing them around.
dà duō dōu shì tiān xuán jìng zhōng yuē dìng hǎo hòu , xuǎn zé dāng miàn yòng zhì shì líng shí jìn xíng jiāo yì 。
大多都是天玄镜中约定好后,选择当面用制式灵石进行交易。
"Not bad," Li Fan commented, using his Primordial Mirror Essence to participate. He had the ability to erase traces in the Primordial Mirror at any time and was not as timid as these shady rats.
ǒu ěr tiān xuán jìng zhōng yǒu shōu gòu de , tā men zài dé shǒu zhī hòu yī rán hái huì jiāng qí xìn xī guà chū 、 sì hū yào jìn xíng shòu mài 。 bǎo zhèng tiān xuán jìng shì chǎng zhōng , shǐ zhōng yǒu yí dìng shù liàng de kōng míng liú jīng liú tōng , jià gé yě méi yǒu yīn cǐ chéng xiàn chū dà de bō dòng 。
偶尔天玄镜中有收购的,他们在得手之后依然还会将其信息挂出、似乎要进行售卖。保证天玄镜市场中,始终有一定数量的空明流晶流通,价格也没有因此呈现出大的波动。
He boldly scooped up the Empty Bright Crystals without regard for their price, buying them at an exorbitant rate that no one could refuse.
dàn suí zhe bù duàn zhuǎn shǒu , shì miàn shàng de jué dà duō shù kōng míng liú jīng , què shì màn màn bèi tóng yī qún rén suǒ zhǎng kòng 。 suǒ wèi de jiāo yì , yě zhǐ shì zuǒ shǒu dào yòu shǒu bà le 。
但随着不断转手,市面上的绝大多数空明流晶,却是慢慢被同一群人所掌控。所谓的交易,也只是左手倒右手罢了。
It was like a giant whale stirring up waves in the Primordial Mirror trading market.
“ bù cuò de shǒu duàn , bǐ wǒ dāng miàn cū cāo cāo zòng shì chǎng de xíng wéi , yào shǎng xīn yuè mù tài duō 。”
“不错的手段,比我当面粗糙操纵市场的行为,要赏心悦目太多。”
Soon, the price of the Empty Bright Crystal soared dramatically.
“ kàn lái tā men yě bú shì dì yī cì zuò zhè yàng de shì qíng le 。”
“看来他们也不是第一次做这样的事情了。”
This anomaly naturally drew more cultivators' attention. Although they didn't know its true purpose yet, it didn't stop them from following suit and purchasing it.
lǐ fán zé zé chēng zàn dào , dòng yòng tiān xuán jìng běn yuán de lì liàng , yě cān yù qí zhōng 。
李凡啧啧称赞道,动用天玄镜本源的力量,也参与其中。
Li Fan's fake identity from his other self quickly received several strange messages.
tā kě shì yǒu zhe , suí shí néng gòu mǒ chú tiān xuán jìng zhōng hén jì xìn xī de néng lì 。 zì rán bú huì xiàng zhè xiē yīn àn de lǎo shǔ bān wèi shǒu wèi wěi 。
他可是有着,随时能够抹除天玄镜中痕迹信息的能力。自然不会像这些阴暗的老鼠般畏首畏尾。
"Which faction are you with? Acting so recklessly, don't you care about your life?"
sì wú jì dàn , fēng kuáng sǎo huò 。
肆无忌惮,疯狂扫货。
"Brother, be more discreet. Don't make everyone go hungry."
gēn běn bù zài hū suǒ wèi de jià gé , yòng rèn hé rén dōu wú fǎ jù jué de gāo jià jìn xíng shōu gòu 。
根本不在乎所谓的价格,用任何人都无法拒绝的高价进行收购。
"Hmph, I advise you to stop coveting too much. Spit out what you've swallowed and we can all survive together."
yóu rú yī tóu jù jīng , zài tiān xuán jìng jiāo yì shì chǎng shàng xiān qǐ tāo tiān jù làng 。
犹如一头巨鲸,在天玄镜交易市场上掀起滔天巨浪。
...
hěn kuài , kōng míng liú jīng de jià gé jiù shuǐ zhǎng chuán gāo , zhí xiàn biāo shēng 。
很快,空明流晶的价格就水涨船高,直线飙升。
Li Fan replied dismissively to these crude messages: "Good work, you've been caught. Prepare for the reckoning."
zhè yī yì yàng zì rán yǐn qǐ le gèng duō xiū shì de zhù yì 。
这一异样自然引起了更多修士的注意。
The other cultivators fell silent instantly.
suī rán tā men cǐ shí shàng qiě hái bù zhī dào kōng míng liú jīng de zhēn zhèng yòng chǔ , què bìng bù fáng ài tā men gēn fēng jìn xíng shōu gòu 。
虽然他们此时尚且还不知道空明流晶的真正用处,却并不妨碍他们跟风进行收购。
Further investigation revealed that many of them had mysteriously died in this short time.
lǐ fán fēn shēn shēng zào de xū jiǎ tiān xuán jìng shēn fèn , hěn kuài jiù shōu dào le shù tiáo mò shēng chuán xùn 。
李凡分身生造的虚假天玄镜身份,很快就收到了数条陌生传讯。
"Even their own people are ruthless."
“ nǐ shì nǎ jiā de ? rú cǐ sì yì wàng wéi , bú yào mìng le ?”
“你是哪家的?如此肆意妄为,不要命了?”
"But they're just a bunch of fools."
“ xiōng dì , shōu liǎn xiē 。 bié gǎo de dà jiā dōu méi fàn chī 。”
“兄弟,收敛些。别搞的大家都没饭吃。”
Li Fan paid no heed to these people and continued his acquisition without stopping. However, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's reaction was unusually swift.
“ hēng , lǎo fū quàn nǐ yī jù , tān duō wú yòng 。 bǎ nǐ tūn xià qù de tǔ chū lái , dà jiā yì qǐ cái néng bǎo mìng 。”
“哼,老夫劝你一句,贪多无用。把你吞下去的吐出来,大家一起才能保命。”
"Senior, hurry up and take it!"
……
……
Sun Luoya sent a warning.
děng děng zhè xiē sāo rán xìn xī , lǐ fán tǒng tǒng yòng yī jù “ hěn hǎo , zhè jiù bǎ nǐ men diào chū lái le 。 děng zhe bèi qīng suàn ba !” jìn xíng huí fù 。
等等这些骚然信息,李凡统统用一句“很好,这就把伱们钓出来了。等着被清算吧!”进行回复。
Li Fan had already started his dismemberment operation.
ér duì fāng nà xiē xiū shì , quán dōu qǐng kè méi le shēng xī 。
而对方那些修士,全都顷刻没了声息。
Empty Bright Crystal after Empty Bright Crystal was taken out of the Primordial Mirror and its fabricated identity information erased.
chá xún zhī xià , shèn zhì hái yǒu bù shǎo , zài zhè yī huì de gōng fu jiù yǐ jīng mò míng sǐ qù le 。
查询之下,甚至还有不少,在这一会的功夫就已经莫名死去了。
Li Fan then cast a destructive black light with his divided consciousness, destroying the Primordial Mirror outright.
“ lián zì jǐ rén xià shǒu dōu zhè me hěn 。”
“连自己人下手都这么狠。”
Only then did the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's announcement finally arrive in the Primordial Mirror.
“ bù guò yě shì yī qún chǔn huò 。”
“不过也是一群蠢货。”
They declared that the Empty Bright Crystal would be prohibited from circulation. Any held by cultivators would be reclaimed by the alliance.
lǐ fán bìng méi yǒu jiāng zhè xiē rén fàng zài yǎn lǐ , zài dòu nòng tā men de tóng shí , shōu gòu kōng míng liú jīng de xíng dòng yě méi yǒu tíng xià lái 。
李凡并没有将这些人放在眼里,在逗弄他们的同时,收购空明流晶的行动也没有停下来。
The alliance urged all parties to cooperate and warned those obstructing with severe punishment.
dàn hěn kě xī de , zhè yī cì wàn xiān méng de fǎn yìng yǒu xiē chāo hū xún cháng de kuài 。
但很可惜的,这一次万仙盟的反应有些超乎寻常的快。
...
“ qián bèi , kuài shōu !”
“前辈,快收!”
The news sent shockwaves throughout the land. It was one of the harshest measures ever announced since the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's creation, all for a small, previously unremarkable Empty Bright Crystal.
sūn lù yáo chuán lái jǐng gào 。
孙路遥传来警告。
What mysterious power did this item possess that warranted such an effort?
ér lǐ fán de duàn wěi xíng dòng zǎo jiù kāi shǐ le 。
而李凡的断尾行动早就开始了。
Cultivators who possessed the crystal but were unwilling to hand it over began breaking them down and researching. But as always, they found nothing significant.
yī méi méi kōng míng liú jīng cóng tiān xuán xiǎo jìng zhōng bèi qǔ chū , ér hòu zhí jiē jiāng shēng zào chū lái de shēn fèn xìn xī mǒ qù 。
一枚枚空明流晶从天玄小镜中被取出,而后直接将生造出来的身份信息抹去。
Speculation and discussion brewed like a storm. Yet, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance never stepped forward to explain, instead using even harsher measures to suppress the information.
lǐ fán fēn shén suí hòu zhǎn chū yī dào jì miè hēi guāng , jiāng tiān xuán xiǎo jìng zhí jiē huǐ diào 。
李凡分神随后斩出一道寂灭黑光,将天玄小镜直接毁掉。
No more Empty Bright Crystal-related information could be found in the Primordial Mirror.
zhè shí hòu , tiān xuán jìng zhōng , wàn xiān méng de gōng gào fāng cái shān shān lái chí 。
这时候,天玄镜中,万仙盟的公告方才姗姗来迟。
Non-Alliance members who privately discussed it were immediately demoted or dismissed from their posts. Those outside the system who gathered for discussions faced warnings and interrogations by regional martial arts halls.
hè rán shì zhí jiē jiāng kōng míng liú jīng dìng xìng wèi jìn zhǐ liú tōng wù pǐn 。
赫然是直接将空明流晶定性为禁止流通物品。
The high-pressure stance made all cultivators aware that this time was different, Empty Bright Crystal had truly become a taboo topic.
rú jīn gè gè xiū shì shǒu shàng chí yǒu de , dōu jiāng yóu wàn xiān méng jìn xíng huí shōu 。
如今各个修士手上持有的,都将由万仙盟进行回收。
Xuanhuang cultivators still valued life.
wàn xiān méng dū cù gè fāng , wù bì pèi hé xiāng guān gōng zuò 。 ruò yǒu zhí yì cóng zhōng zuò gěng zhě , jiāng yǐ pàn méng zuì lùn chǔ 。
万仙盟督促各方,务必配合相关工作。若有执意从中作梗者,将以判盟罪论处。
Suddenly, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance fell silent. While voices could be silenced, could their doubts and curiosities ever be completely suppressed?
……
……
The alliance's control hadn't reached every cultivator's doorstep.
xiāo xī yī chū , yǐn dé sì fāng zhèn dòng 。
消息一出,引得四方震动。
Thus, in secluded mountain hermitages far from the various state immortal cities, in heavily restricted secret chambers, discussions about Empty Bright Crystal continued.
zhè kān chēng shì wàn xiān méng zì cóng chuàng jiàn zhī hòu , gōng bù de zuì yán lì de cuò shī le 。
这堪称是万仙盟自从创建之后,公布的最严厉的措施了。
However, all the Empty Bright Crystals had been confiscated. They could only speculate based on imagination.
jìng shì wèi le xiǎo xiǎo de 、 cóng qián jī hū wú rén wèn jīn de kōng míng liú jīng 。
竟是为了小小的、从前几乎无人问津的空明流晶。
Even if they had a physical sample, it would be hard to figure out its true usage method.
zhè wán yì jiū jìng yǒu shén me xuán ào zhī chù , zhí de wàn xiān méng rú cǐ xīng shī dòng zhòng ?
这玩意究竟有什么玄奥之处,值得万仙盟如此兴师动众?
In Sun Family's secret chamber, Li Fan even used the Boundless Mirror to thoroughly analyze the Empty Bright Crystal but found nothing special about it.
nà xiē shēn huái kōng míng liú jīng , què bìng bù yuàn yì shàng jiāo de xiū shì , suǒ xìng zhí jiē jiāng qí fēn jiě 、 yán jiū 。
那些身怀空明流晶,却并不愿意上交的修士,索性直接将其分解、研究。
"It seems that the Empty Bright Crystal is just an important component. There should be other steps."
dàn gēn yǐ wǎng yī yàng , réng rán méi yǒu shén me fā xiàn 。
但跟以往一样,仍然没有什么发现。
After expending over a hundred Empty Bright Crystals, Li Fan temporarily stopped his research out of无奈.
cāi yí 、 yì lùn , rú fēng bào bān yùn niàng 。
猜疑、议论,如风暴般酝酿。
"Can only wait for the alliance to complete the sixteen Dao Unions and departure from Xuanhuang before inquiring further."
ér wàn xiān méng cóng shǐ zhì zhōng dōu méi yǒu zhàn chū lái jiě shì de yì si , shèn zhì zhí jiē yòng le gèng jiā qiáng yìng de shǒu duàn jìn xíng fēng suǒ 。
而万仙盟从始至终都没有站出来解释的意思,甚至直接用了更加强硬的手段进行封锁。
"But we can prepare our observations ahead of time."
tiān xuán jìng zhōng , zài yě zhǎo bú dào rèn hé kōng míng liú jīng xiāng guān de xìn xī 。
天玄镜中,再也找不到任何空明流晶相关的信息。
In Sun Family,
ér xiān méng tǐ zhì nèi chéng yuán , yǒu dǎn gǎn sī xià tǎo lùn kōng míng liú jīng zhě , zhí jiē bèi gé chú zhí wù 。
而仙盟体制内成员,有胆敢私下讨论空明流晶者,直接被革除职务。
Gu Linglu was meditating with her eyes closed, using the resources given by Sun Luoya. She didn't notice a dark shadow emerging from her storage ring.
nà xiē fēi tǐ zhì nèi xiū shì jù huì tǎo lùn , yě huì bèi gè zhōu yǎn wǔ táng dīng shàng 、 yuē tán jǐng gào 。
那些非体制内修士聚会讨论,也会被各州演武堂盯上、约谈警告。
The shadow entered her mind and quickly gained control over Gu Linglu's body. It was Li Fan's main consciousness left behind before entering the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's protective hall.
rú cǐ gāo yā de tài shì , ràng tiān xià xiū shì zhī dào , zhè cì gēn yǐ wǎng bù yí yàng 、 kōng míng liú jīng shì zhēn chéng le jìn jì huà tí 。
如此高压的态势,让天下修士知道,这次跟以往不一样、空明流晶是真成了禁忌话题。
Compared to潜伏的分神, this fragment had much more power.
xuán huáng xiū shì hái shì xī mìng de 。
玄黄修士还是惜命的。
After the fragment cast a sword to destroy the Primordial Mirror and cut off any search trails, it weakened again.
yī shí jiān , wàn xiān méng jìn ruò hán chán 。
一时间,万仙盟噤若寒蝉。
But this fragment could replenish its energy like a cultivator by drawing on the natural essence of heaven and earth.
shēng yīn kě yǐ bèi yā xià , dàn xīn zhōng de yí huò hào qí yòu zěn me kě néng bèi yǒng yuǎn zhèn yā ?
声音可以被压下,但心中的疑惑好奇又怎么可能被永远镇压?

"Empty Bright Crystal?"
In a flash, Li Fan's mind conjured up information related to the Empty Bright Crystal.
