jiāng yī cháng fēng zāi xiāo mǐ wú xíng de zhāng hào bō ， liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu shén me shén qíng bō dòng 。
将一场风灾消弭无形的张浩波，脸上并没有什么神情波动。
Zhang Haobo, who had extinguished a wind disaster without leaving any trace, showed no change in his expression.
tái tóu kàn le yǎn tiān kōng ， tā jì xù cháo zhe xià yī chù fēng zāi de dì diǎn fēi chí ér qù 。
抬头看了眼天空，他继续朝着下一处风灾的地点飞驰而去。
He looked up at the sky and continued flying towards the next location of a wind disaster.
“ cóng zhuī fēng ， dào zhǎn fēng 。 xià yī bù ， nǐ yào zuò shén me ne 。”
“从追风，到斩风。下一步，你要做什么呢。”
"From chasing the wind to cutting it. What's your next move?"
“ liú gěi nǐ de shí jiān kě bù duō le a ， hē hē 。”
“留给你的时间可不多了啊，呵呵。”
"You don't have much time left, hahaha."
lǐ fán qīng xiào le yī shēng ， shōu huí zhù yì lì 。
李凡轻笑了一声，收回注意力。
Li Fan chuckled and refocused his attention.
chóng xīn zuān yán qǐ le zhèn fǎ rù mén yù jiǎn lái 。
重新钻研起了阵法入门玉简来。
He returned to studying the阵法入门玉简.
yòu yí gè yuè hòu 。
又一个月后。
A month later.
lǐ fán shén sè yī dòng ， jiāng yù jiǎn shōu qǐ 。
李凡神色一动，将玉简收起。
Li Fan's expression changed as he put away the jade slip.
nà wèi děng dài duō shí de xiū shì ， zhōng yú dēng cháng le 。
那位等待多时的修士，终于登场了。
The cultivator who had been waiting for a long time finally made an appearance.
zài lǐ fán de gǎn zhī zhōng ， yī wèi liàn qì zhōng qī de xiū shì ， wán quán méi yǒu shōu liǎn qì xī de yì si 。
在李凡的感知中，一位炼气中期的修士，完全没有收敛气息的意思。
In Li Fan’s perception, a middle-stage Qi Condensation cultivator showed no intention of concealing his aura.
jiù zhè me dà yáo dà bǎi de cháo zhe tiān bǎo lóu zǒu le guò lái 。
就这么大摇大摆的朝着天宝楼走了过来。
He walked confidently towards Tianbao Tower.
wú xiāng shā jī dùn shí jiāng tā suǒ dìng ， fù chóng shén tōng xù shì dài fā 。
无相杀机顿时将他锁定，缚虫神通蓄势待发。
Instantly, the formless killing intent locked onto him, and the binding insect divine power was ready to strike.
zhǐ shì ， jiù zài lǐ fán zhǔn bèi jiāng zhè wèi xiū shì ná xià de shí hòu ， liǎn shàng què bù yóu dì shǎn guò yī sī chà yì 。
只是，就在李凡准备将这位修士拿下的时候，脸上却不由地闪过一丝诧异。
However, just as Li Fan prepared to take down this cultivator, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
yuán lái ， zhè xiū shì wán quán méi yǒu qù xún zhǎo yīn yuè tíng de yì si 。
原来，这修士完全没有去寻找殷玥婷的意思。
It turned out that this cultivator had no intention of searching for Yin Yuzhen.
ér shì zǒu jìn le tiān bǎo lóu ， yī zhèn dà hū xiǎo jiào 。
而是走进了天宝楼，一阵大呼小叫。
Instead, he walked into Tianbao Tower and started shouting loudly.
“ zhè yuè de xīn huò dào le méi ！ kuài gěi wǒ kàn kàn ！”
“这月的新货到了没！快给我看看！”
"Have the new goods from this month arrived? Quickly show me!"
tiān bǎo lóu de nián qīng huǒ jì kàn jiàn cǐ rén ， dùn shí rè qíng de dǎ qǐ le zhāo hū ：“ yō ， zhào èr yé lái le ！ kuài ， kuài ， zhè biān qǐng ！”
天宝楼的年轻伙计看见此人，顿时热情的打起了招呼：“哟，赵二爷来了！快，快，这边请！”
The young assistant at Tianbao Tower greeted him enthusiastically: "Oh, Master Zhao! Hurry over here!"
“ zhè jǐ gè yuè kě shōu dào le bù shǎo xī hǎn wán yì ， tè yì gěi nín liú zhe ne ！”
“这几个月可收到了不少稀罕玩意，特意给您留着呢！”
"We’ve received many rare items these past few months, especially for you!"
zhè jiào zuò zhào èr de xiū shì wén yán dà xǐ ， jí bù kě nài de gēn zhe huǒ jì zǒu jìn le tiān bǎo lóu de cáng bǎo cāng kù zhōng 。
这叫做赵二的修士闻言大喜，急不可耐的跟着伙计走进了天宝楼的藏宝仓库中。
Hearing this, the cultivator named Zhao was delighted and eagerly followed the assistant into the treasure warehouse.
nián qīng huǒ jì zhǐ zhe jià zi shàng dān dú bǎi fàng zhe de jǐ jiàn wù pǐn ， shuō dào ：“ àn zhào nín de fēn fù ， shàng miàn yǒu zhe zhè zhǒng tè bié huā wén de ， wǒ men dōu gěi nín shōu zài yì qǐ le 。”
年轻伙计指着架子上单独摆放着的几件物品，说道：“按照您的吩咐，上面有着这种特别花纹的，我们都给您收在一起了。”
The young assistant pointed to several items on a shelf. "These are the ones with that special pattern as per your instructions."
zhào èr kuài bù zǒu shàng qián qù ， ná qǐ jià zi shàng yí gè xiǎo dǐng ， zǐ xì fǔ mō biàn bié qǐ lái 。
赵二快步走上前去，拿起架子上一个小鼎，仔细抚摸辨别起来。
Zhao hurried over, picked up a small tripod from the shelf, and carefully examined it.
“ bù cuò ， bù cuò 。” guò le piàn kè ， tā mǎn yì de diǎn diǎn tóu 。
“不错，不错。”过了片刻，他满意的点点头。
"Not bad," he nodded satisfactorily after a moment.
yòu jiāng yí gè yǒu xiē liè wén de qīng cí huā píng duān zài kōng zhōng ， xì xì guān chá 。
又将一个有些裂纹的青瓷花瓶端在空中，细细观察。
He then held a slightly cracked blue-and-white porcelain vase in his hand and scrutinized it closely.
“ tú àn dí què shì nà ge dì fāng de fēng gé 。”
“图案的确是那个地方的风格。”
"The design is indeed from that place."
zhào èr yǒu xiē xīn xǐ 。
赵二有些欣喜。
Zhao was pleased. He inspected all the items on the shelf, praising them one by one: "Your Tianbao Tower really works fast! You’ve gathered so many treasures for me in just a few months!"
tā jiāng jià zi shàng de wù pǐn yī yī kàn guò ， zàn bù jué kǒu ：“ hái shì nǐ men tiān bǎo lóu xiào lǜ gāo 。 zhè cái jǐ gè yuè jiù gěi wǒ sōu jí lái le zhè me duō bǎo bèi ！”
他将架子上的物品一一看过，赞不绝口：“还是你们天宝楼效率高。这才几个月就给我搜集来了这么多宝贝！”
"Unlike other shops, which are full of junk!"
“ nǎ xiàng qí tā shāng pù ， dōu shì xiē fèi wù ！”
“哪像其他商铺，都是些废物！”
"In particular, that Wan Hua Chamber of Commerce is nothing but empty talk. They can’t even find useful items after a year."
“ yóu qí nà ge shén me wàn huá shāng huì ， niú pí chuī dǎo shì tǐng xiǎng ， yī nián yě dōu zhǎo bú dào jǐ jiàn yǒu yòng de 。”
“尤其那个什么万华商会，牛皮吹倒是挺响，一年也都找不到几件有用的。”
Zhao cursed viciously.
zhào èr è hěn hěn dì zhòu mà le yī jù 。
赵二恶狠狠地咒骂了一句。
Then he smiled and patted the young assistant’s shoulder: "Pack these up for me and deliver them to my usual spot."
fù yòu yī liǎn xiào róng de pāi le pāi nián qīng huǒ jì de jiān bǎng ：“ nǐ bǎ zhè xiē dōng xī dǎ bāo ， hái shì gěi wǒ sòng dào lǎo dì fāng 。”
复又一脸笑容的拍了拍年轻伙计的肩膀：“你把这些东西打包，还是给我送到老地方。”
The young assistant nodded eagerly, pleased with himself.
huǒ jì mǎn liǎn chǎn xiào zhe bú zhù diǎn tóu 。
伙计满脸谄笑着不住点头。
"You Tianbao Tower really does business well. Why stay confined here on this tiny Night-Long Island? I see your business will expand into the Cunyun Sea!"
jié zhàng de shí hòu ， zhào èr cóng huái zhōng tāo chū yī bǎ jīn yè ， kàn yě bù kàn ， zhí jiē rēng le guò qù 。
结账的时候，赵二从怀中掏出一把金叶，看也不看，直接扔了过去。
Zhao complimented him as he hummed a tune and turned to leave.
“ bù yòng zhǎo le ， duō de jiù dāng gěi nǐ men de jiǎng shǎng 。”
“不用找了，多的就当给你们的奖赏。”
The young assistant felt triumphant and blurted out: "Of course! Our master..."
“ jì zhù ， fán shì dài wǒ gěi nǐ men jiāo dài de nà jǐ zhǒng fēng gé tú àn de wù jiàn ， yǒu duō shǎo wǒ yào duō shǎo 。”
“记住，凡是带我给你们交代的那几种风格图案的物件，有多少我要多少。”
Before he could finish, an old caretaker slapped his head, cutting him off mid-sentence.
tā áng zhe tóu ， kuò chuò wú bǐ de shuō dào 。
他昂着头，阔绰无比的说道。
The young assistant knew better and covered his head in silence.
tóu fà huā bái de lǎo guǎn shì xiào mī mī de shōu qǐ jīn yè ， lián lián chēng shì 。
头发花白的老管事笑眯眯的收起金叶，连连称是。
Zhao’s eyes flickered with a smile as he continued humming. He left without saying much more.
“ nǐ men tiān bǎo lóu zhēn shì kào pǔ 。 zěn me jiù wō jū zài zhè xiǎo xiǎo de yè lán dǎo shàng ne 。 wǒ kàn nǐ men yǐ hòu shēng yì kěn dìng huì yuè zuò yuè dà ， biàn bù cóng yún hǎi de ！”
“你们天宝楼真是靠谱。怎么就蜗居在这小小的夜阑岛上呢。我看你们以后生意肯定会越做越大，遍布丛云海的！”
Arriving at a small courtyard on Night-Long Island, after the items were delivered by Tianbao Tower, he closed the door.
zhào èr suí hòu kuā le yī jù ， hēng zhe xiǎo qǔ ， zhèng yù zhuǎn shēn lí qù 。
赵二随后夸了一句，哼着小曲，正欲转身离去。
A flying boat appeared in the yard, and Zhao carefully loaded the items into it.
nà nián qīng huǒ jì xīn zhōng dé yì ， rěn bú zhù shuō dào ：“ nà kěn dìng de ！ wǒ men zhǎng guì ……”
那年轻伙计心中得意，忍不住说道：“那肯定的！我们掌柜……”
He then cast a spell to conceal the flying boat’s shape and flew northward.
huà hái méi shuō chū kǒu ， biàn bèi shēn páng de lǎo guǎn shì yī bā zhǎng shuǎi zài nǎo dài shàng ， shēng shēng dǎ duàn 。
话还没说出口，便被身旁的老管事一巴掌甩在脑袋上，生生打断。
...
nián qīng huǒ jì yě xīn zhī bù tuǒ ， wǔ zhe tóu bù zài kēng shēng 。
年轻伙计也心知不妥，捂着头不再吭声。
Watching all of this unfold from his vantage point, Li Fan became intrigued.
zhào èr yǎn jīng yī zhuǎn ， yě méi yǒu duō shuō shén me 。 zhǐ shì zuǐ jiǎo lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， jì xù hēng chàng zhe shén me ， huǎn huǎn lí kāi le 。
赵二眼睛一转，也没有多说什么。只是嘴角露出一丝笑意，继续哼唱着什么，缓缓离开了。
Zhao's every move was peculiar. He pretended to be an ordinary person while collecting antiques.
zǒu dào le yè lán dǎo shàng yī chù xiǎo yuàn zi lǐ ， děng tiān bǎo lóu de rén jiāng jǐ yàng dōng xī sòng le guò lái hòu ， tā jiāng dà mén guān bì 。
走到了夜阑岛上一处小院子里，等天宝楼的人将几样东西送了过来后，他将大门关闭。
Why did he go through the trouble of using a flying boat instead of his storage ring?
yī sōu fēi zhōu dùn shí chū xiàn zài yuàn zhōng ， zhào èr xiǎo xīn yì yì de bǎ zhè jǐ yàng dōng xī bān jìn fēi zhōu lǐ 。
一艘飞舟顿时出现在院中，赵二小心翼翼的把这几样东西搬进飞舟里。
What place could possibly be so special that it warranted such attention from this middle-stage Qi Condensation cultivator?
suí hòu shī zhǎn fǎ jué ， zhē yǎn fēi zhōu shēn xíng ， lí kāi yè lán dǎo ， yī lù xiàng běi fēi qù 。
随后施展法诀，遮掩飞舟身形，离开夜阑岛，一路向北飞去。
At least, Li Fan now knew why Zhao had come looking for Yin Yuzhen in the previous life.
……
……
It must have been because an assistant at Tianbao Tower accidentally let slip a hint.
jiāng zhè yī qiè cóng tóu dào wěi kàn zài yǎn zhōng de lǐ fán ， bù jīn lái le xìng qù 。
将这一切从头到尾看在眼中的李凡，不禁来了兴趣。
The assistant might not know about Yin Yuzhen’s通灵宝体, but he was certain that their master possessed special abilities to appraise treasures.
zhè zhào èr de yī jǔ yī dòng ， dōu tòu lù zhe gǔ guài 。
这赵二的一举一动，都透露着古怪。
And how could an ordinary person resist a cultivator's probing?
bàn zuò fán rén ， sōu jí gǔ dǒng 。
扮作凡人，搜集古董。
Exposure was inevitable.
zì jǐ yǒu chǔ wù jiè bù yòng ， fēi yào dòng yòng fēi zhōu ， qīn zì bān yùn 。
自己有储物戒不用，非要动用飞舟，亲自搬运。
Zhao would surely return to find Yin Yuzhen.
tā suǒ shuō de ，“ nà ge dì fāng ”， yòu shì nǎ lǐ ？
他所说的，“那个地方”，又是哪里？
Li Fan decided to wait here for him and see where he took the items he had collected.
jiū jìng yǒu shén me tè shū de ， zhí de tā zhè wèi liàn qì zhōng qī de xiū shì ， duì qí rú cǐ shàng xīn ？
究竟有什么特殊的，值得他这位炼气中期的修士，对其如此上心？
From his cosmic perspective, the flying boat flew northward for two days until it arrived at an open sea with no islands in sight.
bù guò ， mù qián zhì shǎo zhī dào le shàng yī shì wèi shén me yīn yuè tíng huì bèi zhào èr zhǎo shàng mén 。
不过，目前至少知道了上一世为什么殷玥婷会被赵二找上门。
A massive rock pillar stood alone in the middle of the sea, seemingly hollowed out into small rooms.
dìng rán shì tiān bǎo lóu nèi huǒ jì wú yì jiān zǒu lòu le fēng shēng 。
定然是天宝楼内伙计无意间走漏了风声。
Zhao landed the flying boat on top of the pillar and laboriously moved all the items inside to one room.
nà huǒ jì bù yí dìng zhī dào yīn yuè tíng shì shén me tōng líng bǎo tǐ ， dàn kěn dìng qīng chǔ zì jiā zhǎng guì de yǒu zhe tè shū de běn lǐng ， néng gòu biàn xī zhēn bǎo 。
那伙计不一定知道殷玥婷是什么通灵宝体，但肯定清楚自家掌柜的有着特殊的本领，能够辨析珍宝。
Li Fan noticed that similar items were neatly arranged in several other rooms, all with the same design as those Zhao had bought this time.
ér fán rén ， yòu zěn me jīn de zhù xiū shì chá tàn ne 。
而凡人，又怎么禁得住修士查探呢。
Clearly, he had been collecting these for a long while.
bào lù shì háo wú yí wèn de 。
暴露是毫无疑问的。
After admiring them, Zhao reluctantly took off in his flying boat and headed back to Night-Long Island.
zhào èr kěn dìng hái huì huí lái ， xún zhǎo yīn yuè tíng 。
赵二肯定还会回来，寻找殷玥婷。
The rock pillar slowly sank back into the sea.
lǐ fán suǒ xìng hái zài cǐ chù děng tā 。
李凡索性还在此处等他。
Two days later, outside Tianbao Tower.
xiān kàn kàn tā jiāng sōu jí ér lái de bǎo bèi yùn wǎng hé chù zài shuō 。
先看看他将搜集而来的宝贝运往何处再说。
Zhao, who was sneaking around, stared at Yin Yuzhen as she picked through treasures. His drool almost hit the floor.
tiān dì shì jiǎo xià ， fēi zhōu wǎng běi ， yì zhí jí sù fēi le liǎng tiān ， lái dào le yī chù kōng kuàng wú bǐ de hǎi yù zhōng 。
天地视角下，飞舟往北，一直急速飞了两天，来到了一处空旷无比的海域中。
"Turns out it’s the legendary通灵宝体..."
zhōu wéi méi yǒu dǎo yǔ ， zhǐ yǒu yī gēn bǐ zhí de shuò dà yán zhù ， gū líng líng de sǒng lì zài hǎi zhōng 。
周围没有岛屿，只有一根笔直的硕大岩柱，孤零零的耸立在海中。
"With this girl's help, collecting artifacts from that place will be much easier."
yán zhù zhōng jiān sì hū quán bèi záo kōng ， kāi pì le yī chù chù xiǎo fáng jiān 。
岩柱中间似乎全被凿空，开辟了一处处小房间。
His eyes filled with greed as he muttered to himself.
zhào èr jiāng fēi zhōu jiàng luò zài yán zhù dǐng duān ， bù cí xīn kǔ de jiāng lǐ miàn de dōng xī yī jiàn jiàn bān yùn dào qí zhōng yī jiān wū zi lǐ 。
赵二将飞舟降落在岩柱顶端，不辞辛苦的将里面的东西一件件搬运到其中一间屋子里。
"Where is that place?"
lǐ fán kàn dào ， bù zhǐ shì zhè yī jiān wū zi ， qí tā hǎo jǐ gè fáng jiān nèi ， dōu zhěng zhěng qí qí de bǎi fàng zhe lèi sì de wán yì 。
李凡看到，不只是这一间屋子，其他好几个房间内，都整整齐齐的摆放着类似的玩意。
A voice suddenly appeared in his ear.
shàng miàn de huā wén tú àn dōu hé zhào èr zhè cì mǎi lái de shì tóng yī gè fēng gé 。
上面的花纹图案都和赵二这次买来的是同一个风格。
Zhao was startled and about to act when he realized he was instantly immobilized!
xiǎn rán ， tā sōu jí zhè xiē dōng xī yǐ jīng xǔ jiǔ le 。
显然，他搜集这些东西已经许久了。
"Come on, let’s chat at your home."
yòu mǎn shì xǐ ài de guān shǎng bǎ wán le yī fān ， zhào èr yī yī bù shě dì jià qǐ fēi zhōu ， cháo zhe yè lán dǎo ér lái 。
又满是喜爱的观赏把玩了一番，赵二依依不舍地架起飞舟，朝着夜阑岛而来。
A hidden figure suddenly appeared behind him.
nà gēn yán zhù ， yě suí zhī huǎn huǎn de xià jiàng ， shōu suō huí hǎi zhōng 。
那根岩柱，也随之缓缓的下降，收缩回海中。
Zhao felt like a chicken being lifted off the ground as he flew towards a familiar location.
liǎng tiān hòu ， tiān bǎo lóu wài 。
两天后，天宝楼外。
Zhao’s heart turned icy cold.
guǐ guǐ suì suì de zhào èr dīng zhe zhèng zài tiāo jiǎn bǎo wù de yīn yuè tíng ， kǒu shuǐ dōu yào liú le xià lái 。
鬼鬼祟祟的赵二盯着正在挑拣宝物的殷玥婷，口水都要流了下来。
Because this mysterious person had not lied. He really knew the exact location of his base!
“ yuán lái shì chuán shuō zhōng de tōng líng bǎo tǐ ……”
“原来是传说中的通灵宝体……”
The thought of all the treasures he had collected over the years now belonging to someone else made Zhao’s heart ache with pain, more than if he were dead.
“ yǒu zhè xiǎo gū niáng xiāng zhù ， wǒ sōu jí nà lǐ de wén wù jiù róng yì duō le 。”
“有这小姑娘相助，我搜集那里的文物就容易多了。”
This mysterious figure flew extremely fast and arrived at his base in just over a day.
tā yǎn zhōng mǎn shì tān lán ， zì yán zì yǔ dì shuō dào 。
他眼中满是贪婪，自言自语地说道。
"Why don’t you invite me in for a chat?"
“ nà lǐ shì nǎ lǐ ？”
“那里是哪里？”
Zhao regained control of his body as the other person spoke calmly.
Zhang Haobo, who had extinguished a wind disaster without leaving any trace, showed no change in his expression.
He looked up at the sky and continued flying towards the next location of a wind disaster.
...
"From chasing the wind to cutting it. What's your next move?"
"You don't have much time left, hahaha."
Li Fan chuckled and refocused his attention.
He returned to studying the阵法入门玉简.
A month later.
Li Fan's expression changed as he put away the jade slip.
The cultivator who had been waiting for a long time finally made an appearance.
In Li Fan’s perception, a middle-stage Qi Condensation cultivator showed no intention of concealing his aura.
He walked confidently towards Tianbao Tower.
Instantly, the formless killing intent locked onto him, and the binding insect divine power was ready to strike.

It turned out that this cultivator had no intention of searching for Yin Yuzhen.
Instead, he walked into Tianbao Tower and started shouting loudly.
"Have the new goods from this month arrived? Quickly show me!"
The young assistant at Tianbao Tower greeted him enthusiastically: "Oh, Master Zhao! Hurry over here!"
"We’ve received many rare items these past few months, especially for you!"
Hearing this, the cultivator named Zhao was delighted and eagerly followed the assistant into the treasure warehouse.
The young assistant pointed to several items on a shelf. "These are the ones with that special pattern as per your instructions."
Zhao hurried over, picked up a small tripod from the shelf, and carefully examined it.
