yī zhèn yōu guāng sǎo guò ， sì wàn duō zhāng zhǐ shà shí jiān piāo fú qǐ lái 。
一阵幽光扫过，四万多张纸霎时间漂浮起来。
A wave of unexpected events unfolded as Lin Fan, after obtaining the *Way of Transformation* stone, pondered how to use it. He had not found any secret techniques related to *Way of Transformation One* in Yi Xing's notes.
tiān xuán jìng nèi ， lǐ fán zhǐ jué de yǎn qián zhè xiē zhǐ zhāng ， sì hū wēi wēi dòng le dòng 。
天玄镜内，李凡只觉的眼前这些纸张，似乎微微动了动。
Considering the need for confidentiality and prudence, he did not ask Jiao Xiuyuan but instead searched within the Mirror of Primordial Origin. Sure enough, while this was an ancient sect technique, its key lay in the *Way of Transformation* stone rather than the spell itself. Without the stone, *Way of Transformation One* would be utterly useless.
piàn kè zhī hòu ， yī běn hòu zhòng de “ shū ”， jiù chū xiàn zài le lǐ fán miàn qián 。
片刻之后，一本厚重的“书”，就出现在了李凡面前。
Over the years, various methods had been developed to utilize the *Way of Transformation* stone, and since there were no restrictions on simultaneous use, the price was not exorbitant. Lin Fan spent 30,000 contribution points, equivalent to a Golden Core cultivation technique, and signed a confidentiality agreement before learning the secret technique.
“ pò jiě wán chéng ， yǐ kòu chú suǒ xū gòng xiàn dù ： liǎng wàn bā qiān diǎn 。”
“破解完成，已扣除所需贡献度：两万八千点。”
"Using divine touch, integrating through calculation."
“ zhè yě tài kuài le ！” lǐ fán bù jīn àn zì zā shé 。
“这也太快了！”李凡不禁暗自咂舌。
"Harmonizing with the stone, *Way of Transformation One*."
gāng gāng ， nà shū yè fēi dòng de chǎng miàn jué bú shì lǐ fán de cuò jué 。
刚刚，那书页飞动的场面绝不是李凡的错觉。
Lin placed the deep blue *Way of Transformation* stone on his brow and began practicing. The process of fusing his mind and spirit with the stone was slow. Time passed as he practiced the secret technique.
ér shì yùn dòng de sù dù chāo chū le lǐ fán néng gòu gǎn zhī de jí xiàn ， suǒ yǐ gēn běn kàn bú dào zhǐ zhāng yùn dòng de guǐ jì 。
而是运动的速度超出了李凡能够感知的极限，所以根本看不到纸张运动的轨迹。
Before long, it was time for the 11th year anchor point to be set, when the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace would open its gates. Although Lin Fan was now financially well-off, he did not want to waste the 100,000 contribution points required for the *Cloud Water Scroll* mission.
“ shí dài biàn le a ！ yī xíng ！”
“时代变了啊！伊行！”
He used his clone and went to the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace. The first test remained Keng Tang's challenge, but since his main body was engaged in cultivation, his clone's will inevitably suffered some influence. It did not perform as perfectly as before, but a good bottle of wine helped him recover one point. He ranked first among all the challengers.
“ yǐ wǎng ， ruò shì bù zhī dào mì yào ， pǔ tōng xiū shì shì jué wú kě néng dǎ kāi nǐ liú xià de tiān suǒ bǎo hé de 。”
“以往，若是不知道密钥，普通修士是绝无可能打开你留下的天锁宝盒的。”
This time, Keng Tang did not teach *Cloud Water Illusory Dream Technique*; instead, he imparted a Golden Core technique called *Wade into the Ocean*. Although Lin Fan felt disappointed, there was nothing he could do. His clone only had Qi Gathering cultivation, so getting a Golden Core technique was already generous.
“ kě xiàn zài ， rén rén dōu kě shǐ yòng tiān xuán jìng 。 zhè jiā le mì de bǎo hé ， zài tiān xuán jìng miàn qián ， gēn běn bù shè fáng yì bān ！”
“可现在，人人都可使用天玄镜。这加了密的宝盒，在天玄镜面前，根本不设防一般！”
After chatting with Keng Tang for a while, his clone left the illusion and headed straight to the Taiyi Hall. Without the Blue Flame Illusory Spirit, it took considerable effort to pass through the sword forest in front of the Taiyi Hall.
“ tiān xuán jìng ， kě zhēn shì hǎo bǎo bèi a ！”
“天玄镜，可真是好宝贝啊！”
"Cloud Water Heavenly Palace transmission hall disciple, Lin Fan, seeking audience with Grandmaster Taiyi!"
lǐ fán xīn zhōng àn zì gǎn kǎi ， jiāng yǐ jīng méi le xiàn zhì de tiān suǒ bǎo hé dǎ kāi 。
李凡心中暗自感慨，将已经没了限制的天锁宝盒打开。
His clone chanted as he practiced *Wade into the Ocean*.
lǐ miàn jǐn jǐn shì liǎng yàng dōng xī 。
里面仅仅是两样东西。
The tortoise-snake monster awoke from its slumber. Although still somewhat groggy, it could not fake Keng Tang's transmitted technique. Taiyi briefly identified and handed over the small Cloud Water Heavenly Palace with its five-color light to Lin Fan.
yī méi yù jiǎn ， yī kē sàn fà zhe shēn lán guāng máng de jīng yíng shí tou 。
一枚玉简，一颗散发着深蓝光芒的晶莹石头。
With the *Cloud Water Scroll*, he avoided any unnecessary complications and returned directly to the Mirror of Primordial Origin, choosing to complete the mission.
lán guāng rú tóng huì hū xī yì bān ， wēn hé de shǎn shuò zhe 。
蓝光如同会呼吸一般，温和的闪烁着。
The response from the Mirror of Primordial Origin was identical to that of his 12th incarnation: "Unable to verify authenticity of the *Cloud Water Scroll*. Please wait."
měng dì wàng qù ， shí tou nèi bù shì yǒu wú shù huà miàn zài bù tíng de shàng yǎn 。
猛地望去，石头内部似有无数画面在不停的上演。
After a long silence, the voice of the Mirror of Primordial Origin sounded again. "Task issuer... requests permission to visit your space. Will you accept?"
“ zhè jiù shì huà dào shí le ！”
“这就是化道石了！”
Lin Fan naturally agreed.
suī fèi le yī fān zhōu zhé ， dàn zuì zhōng dé cháng suǒ yuàn de lǐ fán xīn xǐ de jiāng huà dào shí ná zài shǒu zhōng 。
虽费了一番周折，但最终得偿所愿的李凡欣喜的将化道石拿在手中。
Soon after, an elderly man with white hair and a kind face appeared before him—Tianyi the Physician. After a respectful bow, Lin Fan handed over the seven-color model.
“ bù zhī yī xíng liú xià de zhè kē huà dào shí ， shì shén me pǐn zhì dì 。”
“不知伊行留下的这颗化道石，是什么品质的。”
The physician examined it carefully, his expression filled with emotion. After a long while, he asked, "What is the current state of affairs within Cloud Water Heavenly Palace?"
yī rán shì ràng tiān xuán jìng chōng dāng zhe jiàn dìng shī de jué sè 。
依然是让天玄镜充当着鉴定师的角色。
Lin Fan replied truthfully.
“ huà dào shí （ xià pǐn ）， kě zhé suàn shí wǔ wàn gòng xiàn dù 。”
“化道石（下品），可折算十五万贡献度。”
The turbid eyes of Tianyi revealed an inexplicable emotion before he fell silent again. Based on his 12th incarnation experience, Tianyi would issue another errand task next: to place a white jade statue in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace. This statue would summon the Ox-Drawn Chariot Master five years later, leading to a battle that would reseal the palace.
tiān xuán jìng rèn láo rèn yuàn ， hěn kuài xiǎn shì chū liǎo jié guǒ 。
天玄镜任劳任怨，很快显示出了结果。
Tianyi remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought. Lin Fan had no choice but to wait patiently.
lǐ fán guǒ duàn xuǎn zé le jù jué zhé suàn ， xīn zhōng sī cǔn dào 。
李凡果断选择了拒绝折算，心中思忖道。
However, at this moment, the course of events took an entirely different turn, far beyond what Lin Fan expected. After a long silence, Tianyi suddenly looked up and stared at him with a strange expression on his face.
“ suī shuō shì xià pǐn ， dàn duì yú mù qián de wǒ lái shuō ， yīng gāi shì gòu yòng le 。 zhè me yī xiǎo kuài shí tou ， jū rán bǐ yuán yīng gōng fǎ hái guì 。”
“虽说是下品，但对于目前的我来说，应该是够用了。这么一小块石头，居然比元婴功法还贵。”
"Little friend, what are you waiting for?"
“ bú duì ， jiāo xiū yuǎn shuō guò ， zhè huà dào shí gēn běn shì yǒu jià wú shì 。 shí wǔ wàn ， zhǐ shì tiān xuán jìng lǐ lùn shàng de shōu gòu jià gé 。”
“不对，焦修远说过，这化道石根本是有价无市。十五万，只是天玄镜理论上的收购价格。”
Lin Fan's mind was shaken as he realized that his body seemed to be completely out of control. His mouth opened and closed, revealing the secrets hidden in his heart without reservation!
“ xiǎng yào yǐ tóng yàng de jià gé mǎi dào ， gēn běn shì chī rén shuō mèng 。”
“想要以同样的价格买到，根本是痴人说梦。”
"I'm waiting for you to give me another task so I can run errands again at Cloud Water..."
guǒ bù qí rán ， lǐ fán zài tiān xuán jìng nèi sōu suǒ le yī fān 。
果不其然，李凡在天玄镜内搜索了一番。
His voice was hesitant and strange, almost like a puppet being controlled.
yǒu xǔ duō xiū shì fā bù le qiú gòu huà dào shí de xùn xī 。
有许多修士发布了求购化道石的讯息。
Tianyi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly smiled. He pointed lightly with his finger, and the clone's body, which seemed on the brink of death, was miraculously saved in an instant.
tí chū de jiāo yì tiáo jiàn yě bù zài zhǐ shì gòng xiàn dù ， duō shì tóng jià zhí de tiān dì yì bǎo zuò wéi jiāo huàn 。
提出的交易条件也不再只是贡献度，多是同价值的天地异宝作为交换。
"...as compensation, I will give you *Tianyi Immortal Scripture*..."
“ zhè kě suàn de shàng shì mù qián wǒ shēn biān zuì zhí qián de dōng xī le 。”
“这可算的上是目前我身边最值钱的东西了。”
The clone struggled to finish speaking before finally turning to ash.
lǐ fán měi zī zī de xiān jiāng huà dào shí shōu qǐ ， yòu yuè dú qǐ yī xíng liú xià de nà méi yù jiǎn lái 。
李凡美滋滋的先将化道石收起，又阅读起伊行留下的那枚玉简来。
Surprised by the answer, Tianyi stood still for a moment. Then he smiled, his aged face lighting up with understanding.
yù jiǎn zhōng méi yǒu liú xià shén me gōng fǎ mì shù 。
玉简中没有留下什么功法秘术。
"Good!"
duō shì yī xíng de suí bǐ yǐ jí lín zhōng qián de gǎn kǎi 。
多是伊行的随笔以及临终前的感慨。
Just as the clone died, Lin Fan's sense of warning did not disappear. Without hesitation, he silently recited, "Still..."
ér cóng zì lǐ háng jiān zhōng ， lǐ fán yě dé yǐ zhī xiǎo le xǔ duō nián qián dà qiān xǐ shí dài ， yī xíng zhè wèi tài yǎn zōng dì zǐ de yī shēng 。
而从字里行间中，李凡也得以知晓了许多年前大迁徙时代，伊行这位太衍宗弟子的一生。
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the space within the Mirror of Primordial Origin, and Tianyi's figure could be vaguely seen through it.
dāng shì shí ， zài xiān fǎ bù kě tóng xiū zhè yī lǜ lì de yǐng xiǎng xià ， xiū xiān jiè bù shǎo mén pài nèi ， yǐ jīng fā shēng le jí qí cǎn liè de zì xiāng cán shā shì gù 。
当是时，在仙法不可同修这一律例的影响下，修仙界不少门派内，已经发生了极其惨烈的自相残杀事故。
"Tru..."
yǒu de qiān nián xiān zōng ， shèn zhì yīn cǐ yī yè miè mén 。
有的千年仙宗，甚至因此一夜灭门。
Before he could finish saying *True*, the surrounding scenery did not immediately turn to nothingness as before; instead, it felt like being stuck in quicksand or cut off from all connections. Tianyi's gaze had already passed through the crack and landed on Lin Fan.
tài yǎn zōng zì rán bù néng lì wài 。
太衍宗自然不能例外。
At this moment, after more than two years of accumulating power for *True*, the charge level plummeted instantly, removing any mysterious obstacles. The surrounding scene became illusory once again, and Lin Fan's consciousness plunged into darkness.
A wave of unexpected events unfolded as Lin Fan, after obtaining the *Way of Transformation* stone, pondered how to use it. He had not found any secret techniques related to *Way of Transformation One* in Yi Xing's notes.
