bù guò ， bì jìng wǔ bǎi wàn gòng xiàn dù bú shì yī bǐ xiǎo shù mù ， rén liǎn yě méi yǒu dāng chǎng pāi bǎn 。
不过，毕竟五百万贡献度不是一笔小数目，人脸也没有当场拍板。
However, 5 million contribution points were no small sum, so the man's face did not make an immediate decision.
chén yín piàn kè hòu ， rén liǎn jǐn shèn dì shuō dào ：“ cǐ shì hái xū zài zǐ xì kǎo liáng kǎo liáng 。 qī rì zhī hòu wǒ men zài pèng tóu 。”
沉吟片刻后，人脸谨慎地说道：“此事还需再仔细考量考量。七日之后我们再碰头。”
After a moment of contemplation, the man said cautiously, "This matter still needs careful consideration. Let's meet again in seven days."
chuán gěi lǐ fán yí gè zuò biāo dì diǎn hòu ， rén liǎn qiǎo rán xiāo shī 。
传给李凡一个坐标地点后，人脸悄然消失。
He gave Li Fan a coordinate and quietly vanished.
bù guò chà nà zhī hòu ， tā yòu zài dù fú xiàn 。
不过刹那之后，他又再度浮现。
But moments later, he reappeared.
“ duì le ， bù guǎn rú hé ， hé zhèng hào cǐ rén ， yǒu hěn gāo de lǒng luò jià zhí 。”
“对了，不管如何，何正浩此人，有很高的笼络价值。”
"By the way, regardless of anything else, Master He Zhenhao has high value for us to entice."
“ nǐ wù bì gēn tā gǎo hǎo guān xì 。 nǎ pà zhè cì shì tí shì jiǎ ， dān píng tā gēn tiān yǔ zhōu héng jiā de guān xì ， jiù zhí de wǒ men xià xuè běn le 。”
“你务必跟他搞好关系。哪怕这次试题是假，单凭他跟天禹州衡家的关系，就值得我们下血本了。”
"You must maintain good relations with him. Even if this test is fake, his connection with the Heaven Yu State's Heng Family alone justifies our investment."
“ zhī qián céng tīng nǐ huì bào ， cǐ rén zuì shì xīn zuì zhèn fǎ ？”
“之前曾听你汇报，此人最是心醉阵法？”
"I heard you mention before that he was particularly fascinated by array formations?"
“ huò xǔ kě yǐ cóng zhè fāng miàn xià shǒu 。”
“或许可以从这方面下手。”
"Perhaps we can try from that angle."
rén liǎn yòu dīng zhǔ le jǐ jù ， zuì zhōng cái lí kāi 。
人脸又叮嘱了几句，最终才离开。
The man gave a few more instructions before finally leaving.
liàng qǐ huáng sè guāng máng hòu ， nà kuài guāng huá de duàn shí biàn cùn cùn suì liè ， diào luò yī dì 。
亮起黄色光芒后，那块光滑的断石便寸寸碎裂，掉落一地。
After the yellow light lit up, the smooth broken stone crumbled and fell to the ground in pieces.
lǐ fán shàng qián jiǎn chá le yī fān ， fā xiàn qí yǐ jīng bèi chè dǐ huǐ huài 。
李凡上前检查了一番，发现其已经被彻底毁坏。
Li Fan checked it over. It had been completely destroyed.
yuán dì zhù lì chén sī le piàn kè ， suí hòu lǐ fán yī rán shì dǐng zhe zhōu qīng áng de miàn mào ， qiǎo rán fēi lí 。
原地伫立沉思了片刻，随后李凡依然是顶着周青昂的面貌，悄然飞离。
Standing there for a moment, Li Fan then quietly flew away with his Zhou Qingang appearance.
fēi le zú gòu yuǎn ， yī lù shàng què dìng méi yǒu rén gēn zōng hé jiān shì zhī hòu ， lǐ fán cái zài àn chù biàn huí yuán xiān de nà fù zhōng nián rén mú yàng 。
飞了足够远，一路上确定没有人跟踪和监视之后，李凡才在暗处变回原先的那副中年人模样。
Once he was far enough away and confirmed no one was following or surveilling him, he transformed back into his middle-aged form in the shadows.
“ ěr yǐ jīng bù xià ， jiù kàn wǔ lǎo huì shàng bù shàng gōu le 。”
“饵已经布下，就看五老会上不上钩了。”
"The bait is set; now we'll see if the Five Elders fall for it."
yī biān fēi xíng ， lǐ fán yī biān huí xiǎng zhe zhōu qīng áng yǒu guān wǔ lǎo huì de jì yì 。
一边飞行，李凡一边回想着周青昂有关五老会的记忆。
As he flew, Li Fan recalled Zhou Qingang's memories of the Five Elders.
“ wú yōu lè tǔ ……”
“无忧乐土……”
"Land of Unworried Bliss..."
“ xiǎng bì zhǎng kòng zhè piàn tiān yù de ， jiù shì nà wèi néng shǐ rén yí wàng zāi huò de cháng shēng tiān zūn le 。”
“想必掌控这片天域的，就是那位能使人遗忘灾祸的长生天尊了。”
"I believe the one controlling this domain must be the Eternal Heaven Sovereign who can make people forget their misfortunes."
“ kě nà zhēn shí zhī guó shì zěn me huí shì 。 wú yōu tiān zūn suǒ nì tiān dì zhī lǐ ， yīng gāi chà bu duō fù gài le zhěng gè xuán huáng jiè de fàn wéi 。”
“可那真实之国是怎么回事。无忧天尊所逆天地之理，应该差不多覆盖了整个玄黄界的范围。”
"But what about the Real Country? The actions of the Unworried Sovereign seem to defy natural order and should cover the entire Xuanhuang Realm."
“ dàn 【 wú fǎ shuō huǎng 】， què míng xiǎn méi yǒu néng yǐng xiǎng dào qí tā qū yù ， zhǐ zài tè dìng de dì qū shēng xiào 。”
“但【无法说谎】，却明显没有能影响到其他区域，只在特定的地区生效。”
"But 'Unable to Lie' clearly does not affect other regions, only specific areas."
“ zhào shī jiě de 【 wàn zhòng yī xīn 】 sì hū yě shì rú cǐ 。”
“赵师姐的【万众一心】似乎也是如此。”
"Master Zhao's 'Unity of All' seems similar."
“ wú yōu 、 chuán fǎ yīng gāi bǐ zhè liǎng wèi yào gāo le yí gè céng cì ……”
“无忧、传法应该比这两位要高了一个层次……”
"Unworried and Transmission might be one level higher..."
“ nán guài wǔ lǎo huì yǒu wǔ wèi cháng shēng tiān zūn zuò zhèn ， réng rán duì chuán fǎ jì dàn bù yǐ 。”
“难怪五老会有五位长生天尊坐镇，仍然对传法忌惮不已。”
"No wonder the Five Elders are wary of Transmission with five Eternal Heaven Sovereigns in place."
“ nǎ pà chū shǒu shì tàn yě shì shèn zhī yòu shèn 。”
“哪怕出手试探也是慎之又慎。”
"They even proceed cautiously when making any move to test it."
lǐ fán ruò yǒu suǒ sī 。
李凡若有所思。
Li Fan thought deeply.
zhè cì hé wǔ lǎo huì fāng miàn dā shàng xiàn ， bìng fēi shì lǐ fán yī shí xīn xuè lái cháo 。
这次和五老会方面搭上线，并非是李凡一时心血来潮。
Getting connected with the Five Elders was not a spur-of-the-moment decision for Li Fan.
chú le kě yǐ zuì dà huà de lì yòng wàn xiān méng rù zhí kǎo tí lái móu lì zhī wài 。
除了可以最大化的利用万仙盟入职考题来牟利之外。
Besides maximizing profit from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's entrance exam, balancing the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Formation and preventing its purification towards the 'Xuan Net' was crucial in the future.
jiāng lái wèi le shǐ tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn bù zhì yú cháo zhe 【 xuán wǎng 】 de fāng xiàng jìng huà ， wǔ lǎo huì de zhì héng yě zhì guān zhòng yào 。
将来为了使天玄锁灵阵不至于朝着【玄网】的方向净化，五老会的制衡也至关重要。
Having an agent as a doppelgänger among the Five Elders would make his actions much easier.
yǒu yí gè zuò wéi wǔ lǎo huì jiàn dié de fēn shēn zài ， rì hòu xíng shì jiāng huì fāng biàn xǔ duō 。
有一个作为五老会间谍的分身在，日后行事将会方便许多。
Next, Li Fan did not return to Ten Thousand Immortals Island but flew towards the southeastern part of Cunyun Sea.
jiē xià lái ， lǐ fán méi yǒu fǎn huí wàn xiān dǎo ， ér shì cháo zhe cóng yún hǎi dōng nán hǎi yù fēi qù 。
接下来，李凡没有返回万仙岛，而是朝着丛云海东南海域飞去。
The secluded island at the center of the sea was his destination.
wèi yú hǎi yù zhōng yāng de nà zuò piān pì xiǎo dǎo ， jiù shì lǐ fán cǐ xíng de mù biāo 。
位于海域中央的那座偏僻小岛，就是李凡此行的目标。
After half a day, Li Fan saw the compound courtyard on the island from afar.
dà bàn tiān hòu ， lǐ fán biàn yuǎn yuǎn kàn dào le dǎo shàng de fù hé xiǎo yuàn 。
大半天后，李凡便远远看到了岛上的复合小院。
Five cultivators were seated in meditation within the courtyard.
yuàn luò zhōng ， zhèng pán xī zuò zhe wǔ míng xiū shì 。
院落中，正盘膝做着五名修士。
A bearded old man with rosy cheeks walked back and forth around them, mumbling incomprehensible words.
yī wèi zhū yán hè fā 、 kàn shàng qù shí fēn jīng shén de lǎo zhě ， zhèng zài xiū shì shēn biān lái huí duó bù 。
一位朱颜鹤发、看上去十分精神的老者，正在修士身边来回踱步。
This late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was none other than Master Foundation Establishment that Li Fan had encountered before.
zuǐ lǐ bù duàn shuō zhe xiē xuán ér yòu xuán 、 shí fēn nán dǒng de huà 。
嘴里不断说着些玄而又玄、十分难懂的话。
Including Li Chenfeng at the gate and the Xiao姓 man who played a role, all three were actually thieves from a small world named 'Empire'.
zhè wèi zhù jī hòu qī xiū shì ， zhèng shì lǐ fán dāng nián céng yù dào de 【 zhù jī dà shī 】。
这为筑基后期修士，正是李凡当年曾遇到的【筑基大师】。
Their homeland was attempting to break free of Xuanhuang's constraints by using a group of ten thousand裂界 whales.
bāo kuò kān mén de lǐ chén fēng 、 yǐ jí dāng yǎn yuán de xiào xìng nán zi 。
包括看门的李晨风、以及当演员的肖姓男子。
They were tasked with stealing cultivation texts in Xuanhuang.
zhè sān rén shí zé dōu shì cóng xiǎo shì jiè zhōng tōu dù ér lái de dào fǎ zhě 。
这三人实则都是从小世界中偷渡而来的盗法者。
Once their homeland broke free, they aimed to establish the path of cultivation anew.
tā men de jiā xiāng ， míng wèi 【 dì guó 】 de xiǎo shì jiè ， zhèng zài shì tú tōng guò shí wàn tóu liè jiè jīng zǔ chéng de jīng qún hé lì ， bǎi tuō xuán huáng jiè de shù fù 。
他们的家乡，名为【帝国】的小世界，正在试图通过十万头裂界鲸组成的鲸群合力，摆脱玄黄界的束缚。
Ordinary methods for Foundation Establishment cultivators to earn enough contribution points for exchanging Daoist Formation techniques were impossible dreams.
ér tā men ， zé shì shēn fù zài xuán huáng jiè dào qǔ xiū xiān diǎn jí de zhòng rèn 。
而他们，则是身负在玄黄界盗取修仙典籍的重任。
Thus, they took risks and accumulated wealth by pretending to be something they weren't.
yǐ qī zài 【 dì guó 】 tuō lí xuán huáng jiè hòu ， chóng xīn lì xià xiū xiān dào tǒng 。
以期在【帝国】脱离玄黄界后，重新立下修仙道统。
Li Fan sought them not because he was interested in their meager contribution points but to leverage Master Foundation Establishment's reputation among the many Qi Condensation cultivators.
xún cháng shǒu duàn 、 zhù jī xiū shì xiǎng yào zǎn xià néng gòu duì huàn hé dào gōng fǎ de gòng xiàn dù wú yì yú chī rén shuō mèng 。
寻常手段、筑基修士想要攒下能够兑换合道功法的贡献度无异于痴人说梦。
Smiling slightly, Li Fan changed his appearance again.
yú shì tā men biàn bīng xíng xiǎn zhe ， tōng guò zhè zhǒng zhāo yáo zhuàng piàn de fāng fǎ jī lěi cái fù 。
于是他们便兵行险着，通过这种招摇撞骗的方法积累财富。
He landed confidently before Master Foundation Establishment.
lǐ fán lái zhǎo tā men ， bìng fēi shì kàn shàng le tā men shǒu shàng de nà diǎn gòng xiàn dù 。
李凡来找他们，并非是看上了他们手上的那点贡献度。
"Focus and deeply understand..." Master Foundation Establishment continued mumbling like a monk reciting scriptures.
ér shì wèi le jiè zhù 【 zhù jī dà shī 】 zài zhòng duō liàn qì xiū shì zhōng de zhī míng dù 。
而是为了借助【筑基大师】在众多炼气修士中的知名度。
Seeing Li Fan descend from the sky, he stopped abruptly.
lǐ fán wēi wēi yī xiào ， zài cì biàn huàn yī zhāng mò shēng miàn róng 。
李凡微微一笑，再次变换一张陌生面容。
"A Golden Core cultivator?"
dà dà fāng fāng luò zài zhù jī dà shī miàn qián 。
大大方方落在筑基大师面前。
Instantly, numerous thoughts flashed through Master Foundation Establishment's mind.
“ jìng xīn níng shén ， xī xīn gǎn wù ……” zhù jī dà shī zhèng yáo tóu huàng nǎo ， niàn jīng shì de chóng fù zhe huà shù 。
“静心凝神，悉心感悟……”筑基大师正摇头晃脑，念经似的重复着话术。
Nevertheless, years of undercover work kept him calm. "Unknown senior..."
kàn jiàn cóng tiān ér jiàng de lǐ fán ， huà yǔ dǒu rán zhǐ zhù 。
看见从天而降的李凡，话语陡然止住。
Li Fan waved his hand lightly, knocking out the other four Qi Condensation cultivators and leaving Xiao姓 man and Master Foundation Establishment alone.
“ jīn dān xiū shì ？”
“金丹修士？”
"Are you the ones who snuck in from a small world?"
chà nà jiān ， zhù jī dà shī de nǎo hǎi zhōng yǒng xiàn chū zhū duō niàn tou 。
刹那间，筑基大师的脑海中涌现出诸多念头。
Their faces changed dramatically at this question.
bù guò duō nián lái de qián fú shēng yá ， hái shì ràng tā yáng zuò zhèn dìng dào ：“ bù zhī qián bèi ……”
不过多年来的潜伏生涯，还是让他佯做镇定道：“不知前辈……”
Master Foundation Establishment was about to defend himself but felt a net tighten around him as he lost control of his body, unable to speak or even commit suicide.
lǐ fán què shì qīng qīng yī huī shǒu ， xiān bǎ zài chǎng de qí yú sì wèi liàn qì xiū shì nòng yūn 。
李凡却是轻轻一挥手，先把在场的其余四位炼气修士弄晕。
Despair flashed across his eyes.
zhǐ liú xià xiào xìng yǎn yuán hé zhù jī dà shī ， suí hòu dàn dàn dào ：“ jiù shì nǐ men ， cóng xiǎo shì jiè tōu dù ér lái ？”
只留下肖姓演员和筑基大师，随后淡淡道：“就是你们，从小世界偷渡而来？”
Just as Li Fan was about to speak, something rapidly approached behind him.
yī jù huà ， ràng liǎng rén miàn sè dà biàn 。
一句话，让两人面色大变。
He teleported and dodged in place.
zhù jī dà shī zhèng yù biàn jiě ， què jué de dùn shí yī zhāng wǎng jiāng zì jǐ sǐ sǐ chán zhù 。
筑基大师正欲辩解，却觉得顿时一张网将自己死死缠住。
Turning back, Li Fan's gaze tightened as a towering figure stood before him—Li Chenfeng, the Xiao姓 man who played a role.
shēn tǐ shī qù kòng zhì de tóng shí ， lián huà yě shuō bù chū lái 。
身体失去控制的同时，连话也说不出来。
But now, his appearance had changed drastically.
shèn zhì xiǎng yào zì jìn dōu zuò bú dào 。
甚至想要自尽都做不到。
His body expanded several times over, covered with horn-like structures similar to those of an exotic beast.
zhù jī dà shī de yǎn zhōng bù jīn shǎn guò yī sī jué wàng 。
筑基大师的眼中不禁闪过一丝绝望。
Two pairs of transparent wings rapidly flapped, suspending him in mid-air. His hands were replaced by sharp golden claws.
lǐ fán zhèng yù shuō huà ， què hū jué bèi hòu yǒu shén me dōng xī zài kuài sù jiē jìn 。
李凡正欲说话，却忽觉背后有什么东西在快速接近。
A mask covering his face revealed only two eyes. He looked like a hybrid of human and beast, exuding an eerie beauty under the sunlight.
shēn xíng shùn yí ， yuán dì shǎn kāi 。
身形瞬移，原地闪开。
"Interesting. What is this?"
huí tóu wàng qù ， lǐ fán yǎn shén wēi níng 。
回头望去，李凡眼神微凝。
The changes before Li Fan's eyes were unexpected.
zhǐ jiàn yī dào yuē liǎng zhàng gāo de shēn yǐng chù lì ， kàn duì fāng róng mào ， hè rán shì nà wèi liàn qì xiū shì lǐ chén fēng 。
只见一道约两丈高的身影矗立，看对方容貌，赫然是那位炼气修士李晨风。
He stared at Li Chenfeng and discovered that his insect-restraining technique was ineffective on him.
bù guò cǐ shí ， tā de wài biǎo fā shēng le jí dà de biàn huà 。
不过此时，他的外表发生了极大的变化。
This was the first time since he learned it from Insect Apprentice Brother.
qū tǐ péng zhàng shù bèi ， shēn tǐ biǎo miàn yě zhǎng chū le rú tóng yì shòu wài ké shì de jiǎo zhì 。
躯体膨胀数倍，身体表面也长出了如同异兽外壳似的角质。
But despite the shock, he quickly set up several formations around him.
bèi hòu liǎng duì tòu míng de chì bǎng kuài sù shān dòng ， shǐ tā tíng zhì yú kōng zhōng 。
背后两对透明的翅膀快速扇动，使他停滞于空中。
A palm struck out, meeting the giant blue hand. A thunderous sound echoed as they collided.
shuāng shǒu de bù wèi ， bèi tì huàn chéng le yī duì fēng lì de àn jīn sè jù zhǎo 。
双手的部位，被替换成了一对锋利的暗金色巨爪。
Taking advantage of this moment to distance himself, Li Fan sent a blue water sword slicing through the air.
tā de liǎn shàng ， yě fǎng fú fù gài shàng le yì shòu zhuāng róng de miàn jù ， zhǐ lù chū liǎng shuāng yǎn jīng zài wài 。
他的脸上，也仿佛覆盖上了异兽妆容的面具，只露出两双眼睛在外。
The Cunyun Sword split Li Chenfeng in two from his middle, spraying blood everywhere.
zhěng gè rén hǎo sì rén hé yì shòu de jié hé tǐ yì bān ， zài yáng guāng xià de zhào shè xià ， yǒu zhǒng yāo yì de měi gǎn 。
整个人好似人和异兽的结合体一般，在阳光下的照射下，有种妖异的美感。
But Li Fan did not relax; the severed body healed instantly and attacked him from both sides.
“ yǒu yì si 。 zhè shì shén me dōng xī ？”
“有意思。这是什么东西？”
Just as he was about to act on his previously set formations, Li Chenfeng suddenly stopped mid-air, unable to move forward!
yǎn qián de biàn huà zài lǐ fán de yù liào zhī wài 。
眼前的变化在李凡的预料之外。
The next chapter will be delayed a bit
tā dīng zhe lǐ chén fēng ， fā xiàn tā zhè jù yì shòu huà de shēn qū ， jū rán kě yǐ zuò dào mǒu zhǒng chéng dù de shén shí píng bì 。
他盯着李晨风，发现他这具异兽化的身躯，居然可以做到某种程度的神识屏蔽。
(End of Chapter)
However, 5 million contribution points were no small sum, so the man's face did not make an immediate decision.
After a moment of contemplation, the man said cautiously, "This matter still needs careful consideration. Let's meet again in seven days."

Once he was far enough away and confirmed no one was following or surveilling him, he transformed back into his middle-aged form in the shadows.
"The bait is set; now we'll see if the Five Elders fall for it."
As he flew, Li Fan recalled Zhou Qingang's memories of the Five Elders.
"Land of Unworried Bliss..."
"I believe the one controlling this domain must be the Eternal Heaven Sovereign who can make people forget their misfortunes."
"But what about the Real Country? The actions of the Unworried Sovereign seem to defy natural order and should cover the entire Xuanhuang Realm."
"But 'Unable to Lie' clearly does not affect other regions, only specific areas."
"Master Zhao's 'Unity of All' seems similar."
"Unworried and Transmission might be one level higher..."
"No wonder the Five Elders are wary of Transmission with five Eternal Heaven Sovereigns in place."
"They even proceed cautiously when making any move to test it."
Li Fan thought deeply.
Getting connected with the Five Elders was not a spur-of-the-moment decision for Li Fan.
Besides maximizing profit from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's entrance exam, balancing the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Formation and preventing its purification towards the 'Xuan Net' was crucial in the future.
