lǐ fán miàn bù gǎi sè ：“ dào yǒu shuō xiào le 。”
李凡面不改色：“道友说笑了。”
Li Fan remained unperturbed. "Friend, you jest."
“ gāng gāng tīng dào yǒu suǒ yán ， shì shì xīn jì rèn de mì zì shǐ dà rén ， míng zì yě jiào lǐ fán 。”
“刚刚听道友所言，似是新继任的秘字使大人，名字也叫李凡。”
"From what I just heard, it seems that the new Secret Messenger大人 is named Li Fan as well," Huang Ranqi said.
“ rú guǒ wǒ zhēn de shì wǔ lǎo huì jiàn dié ， hé bì qǔ zhè me yí gè gāo diào de míng zì ， tú zēng bié rén zhù yì ne 。”
“如果我真的是五老会间谍，何必取这么一个高调的名字，徒增别人注意呢。”
"If I were really a spy of the Five Elders' Association, why would I choose such an obvious name? It would only draw attention to myself," Li Fan argued.
huáng rán qí wén yán ， jué de lǐ fán cǐ huà yǒu diǎn dào lǐ ， wēi wēi diǎn tóu 。
黄然奇闻言，觉得李凡此话有点道理，微微点头。
Hearing this, Huang Ranqi nodded in agreement. "There's some truth to that."
lǐ fán yòu shuō dào ：“ wǒ yòu tīng shuō ， xiū shì rù méng zhī qián ， dōu yào yàn míng zhèng shēn 。 xiǎng bì yǐ xiān méng de chāo fán shǒu duàn ， wǒ rú guǒ yǒu shén me bù tuǒ zhī chù ， dìng huì bèi dāng chǎng jiū chū lái 。 dào shí hòu ， dào yǒu fǎn dào shì niǔ sòng jiàn dié de yīng xióng ， qí gōng yī jiàn 。”
李凡又说道：“我又听说，修士入盟之前，都要验明正身。想必以仙盟的超凡手段，我如果有什么不妥之处，定会被当场揪出来。到时候，道友反倒是扭送间谍的英雄，奇功一件。”
Li Fan continued, "I also heard that cultivators must verify their identity before joining the Immortal Alliance. With the extraordinary means of the Immortal Alliance, if there was anything amiss with me, I would surely be exposed on the spot. Then, you'd be hailed as a hero for turning in a spy."
“ rú cǐ yī lái ， dào yǒu yòu yǒu shén me kě dān xīn de ？”
“如此一来，道友又有什么可担心的？”
"Considering this, what do you have to worry about?"
huáng rán qí jīng guò yī fān sī suǒ ， zhōng yú bèi lǐ fán suǒ shuō fú 。
黄然奇经过一番思索，终于被李凡所说服。
After much thought, Huang Ranqi was convinced by Li Fan's reasoning.
xiān xíng yī bù ， wèi lǐ fán shēn qǐng le tōng xíng líng fú fǎn huí hòu 。
先行一步，为李凡申请了通行灵符返回后。
Having taken the lead, Li Fan applied for a passage spirit token and returned. He then brought along with him through the island’s teleportation array to the Cloudy City of Cunyun.
zhè cái dài zhe tā ， tōng guò dǎo zhōng chuán sòng zhèn ， lái dào le cóng yún xiān chéng shàng 。
这才带着他，通过岛中传送阵，来到了丛云仙城上。
Li Fan looked at the floating city before him and expressed his surprise. "I heard that the Immortal Alliance’s outpost in the Cunyun Sea is an island."
lǐ fán kàn zhuó yǎn qián zhè zuò piāo fú zài yún duān de chéng chí ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī jīng yà ：“ wǒ tīng shuō ， cóng yún hǎi de xiān méng zhù dì ， sì hū shì yī zuò dǎo yǔ 。”
李凡看着眼前这座漂浮在云端的城池，脸上露出一丝惊讶：“我听说，丛云海的仙盟驻地，似乎是一座岛屿。”
"Why is it now a floating city?"
“ zěn me xiàn zài lái de dì fāng shì yī zuò fú kōng chéng ？”
“怎么现在来的地方是一座浮空城？”
"Those are old stories. If you’re interested, you can find out after joining," Huang Ranqi said with reluctance.
“ nà dōu shì lǎo huáng lì la 。 ruò shì dào yǒu yǒu xìng qù ， rù méng zhī hòu kě zì xíng dǎ tīng 。” huáng rán qí yī fù bù yuàn duō shuō de yàng zi 。
“那都是老黄历啦。若是道友有兴趣，入盟之后可自行打听。”黄然奇一副不愿多说的样子。
Li Fan decided not to press further.
lǐ fán yú shì bù zài duō wèn 。
李凡于是不再多问。
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Profound Mirror.
hěn kuài ， liǎng rén jiù lái dào le tiān xuán jìng rù kǒu chù 。
很快，两人就来到了天玄镜入口处。
"This is the Heavenly Profound Mirror..." Huang Ranqi began to explain.
“ cǐ nǎi tiān xuán jìng ……” huáng rán qí kāi kǒu wèi lǐ fán jiè shào qǐ lái 。
“此乃天玄镜……”黄然奇开口为李凡介绍起来。
Li Fan pretended to listen intently while secretly activating the One Hand遮天 Technique. He was already prepared to run away as [Truly Real].
lǐ fán zhuāng zuò rèn zhēn de tīng de yàng zi ， shí zé xīn zhōng jǐn bēng ， qiǎo rán yùn zhuàn 【 zhǐ shǒu zhē tiān 】 mì shù de tóng shí ， yǐ rán zuò hǎo le 【 hái zhēn 】 pǎo lù de zhǔn bèi 。
李凡装作认真的听的样子，实则心中紧绷，悄然运转【只手遮天】秘术的同时，已然做好了【还真】跑路的准备。
From his experience in the previous life, where he had transformed into an object and crossed through countless ages, the improved One Hand遮天 Technique could indeed bypass the Heavenly Profound Mirror's perception.
cóng shàng yī shì 【 yǐ shēn huà wù 、 héng dù wàn gǔ 】 shí de jīng lì lái kàn ， zài fù tiān méng hé xuán wǎng de bù duàn dòu zhēng zhōng jīng guò shù cì gǎi liáng de 【 zhǐ shǒu zhē tiān 】， shì néng gòu mán guò tiān xuán jìng de gǎn zhī de 。
从上一世【以身化物、横渡万古】时的经历来看，在覆天盟和玄网的不断斗争中经过数次改良的【只手遮天】，是能够瞒过天玄镜的感知的。
Furthermore, the Derivation and Calculation Art had revealed the True Profound Transformation, a strange technique that could completely change one’s essence, fate, flesh, spirit awareness, and soul.
zài jiā shàng yǎn fǎ jué tuī yǎn ér chū de 【 qí xuán zhēn líng biàn 】， shì yī bù lián qì jī 、 mìng shù 、 xuè ròu 、 shén shí 、 shén hún děng dōu néng chè dǐ biàn huàn de xuán qí gōng fǎ 。
再加上衍法珏推衍而出的【奇玄真灵变】，是一部连气机、命数、血肉、神识、神魂等都能彻底变换的玄奇功法。
He was confident it wouldn’t be detected by the Heavenly Profound Mirror. However, he knew better than to take any chances.
yīng gāi bù zhì yú bèi tiān xuán jìng kàn chū ， zì jǐ qí shí hé 【 cóng yún chéng mì zì shǐ lǐ fán 】， shí zé shì tóng yī gè rén 。
应该不至于被天玄镜看出，自己其实和【丛云城秘字使李凡】，实则是同一个人。
With his mind racing, Li Fan followed Huang Ranqi into the Heavenly Profound Mirror.
dàn shì wú jué duì ， hái xū xiǎo xīn wèi shàng 。
但事无绝对，还需小心为上。
Fortunately for Li Fan, nothing went as he had feared. The Heavenly Profound Mirror did not recognize him as [Truly Real Secret Messenger of Cunyun City] but instead gave him a new identity.
nǎo hǎi zhōng zhū duō niàn tou yī shǎn ér shì ， lǐ fán gēn zhe huáng rán qí ， jìn rù tiān xuán jìng zhōng 。
脑海中诸多念头一闪而逝，李凡跟着黄然奇，进入天玄镜中。
Huang Ranqi’s reward for his recommendation was also within the realm of Foundation Establishment cultivators, so he didn’t doubt Li Fan.
ràng lǐ fán sōng le yì kǒu qì de shì ， tā suǒ dān xīn de shì qíng bìng méi yǒu fā shēng 。
让李凡松了一口气的是，他所担心的事情并没有发生。
After exchanging pleasantries, Huang Ranqi left. Li Fan was able to rejoin the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance under his original identity.
tiān xuán jìng méi yǒu bǎ tā rèn zuò shì 【 cóng yún chéng mì zì shǐ lǐ fán 】， ér shì fù yǔ gěi le tā yí gè xīn de shēn fèn 。
天玄镜没有把他认作是【丛云城秘字使李凡】，而是赋予给了他一个新的身份。
"Looks like my guess was correct. The Heavenly Profound Mirror’s power is incomparable to its main body after being [powered]."
huáng rán qí dé dào de yǐn jiàn jiǎng lì ， yě shì zài zhù jī xiū shì de fàn chóu zhī nèi 。
黄然奇得到的引荐奖励，也是在筑基修士的范畴之内。
"While there might be some reason for this due to the One Hand遮天 Technique leading the way, it has indeed been too easy to sneak in."
suǒ yǐ tā yě bìng méi yǒu duì lǐ fán chǎn shēng huái yí 。
所以他也并没有对李凡产生怀疑。
Li Fan couldn't help but think.
hé lǐ fán hán xuān le yī fān hòu ， huáng rán qí gào cí lí qù 。
和李凡寒暄了一番后，黄然奇告辞离去。
No wonder there are countless Five Elders' Association spies within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
lǐ fán yě dé yǐ yòng zì jǐ yuán běn de shēn fèn ， zài cì jiā rù le wàn xiān méng 。
李凡也得以用自己原本的身份，再次加入了万仙盟。
On the day of the Five Elders' Association's surprise attack on the Five Elements Great Caverns, the Heavenly Profound Mirror suddenly lost its effectiveness and turned into a stone. This gave Li Fan an idea, leading to his current bold attempt.
“ kàn lái wǒ de cāi cè méi cuò ， jīng guò 【 fù néng 】 ér chéng de tiān xuán fēn jìng ， wēi néng wán quán bù kě gēn běn tǐ tóng rì ér yǔ 。”
“看来我的猜测没错，经过【赋能】而成的天玄分镜，威能完全不可跟本体同日而语。”
As expected, he didn’t linger in the mirror for long. Using the contribution points given to him, he bought a storage ring and then teleported to the Sky Spirit State.
“ suī rán yě yǒu yī bù fèn wǒ nà 【 zhǐ shǒu zhē tiān 】 mì shù lǐng xiān yí gè shí dài de yuán yīn ， dàn què shí yě hùn jìn lái de tài guò róng yì le yì diǎn 。”
“虽然也有一部分我那【只手遮天】秘术领先一个时代的原因，但确实也混进来的太过容易了一点。”
He didn’t leave Tianling City but waited quietly within it.
“ nán guài ， wàn xiān méng zhōng ， wǔ lǎo huì de jiàn dié bù kě shèng shǔ 。”
“难怪，万仙盟中，五老会的间谍不可胜数。”
If the Five Elders' Association did indeed launch an attack on the Five Elements Great Caverns, based on his previous experiences, there should be a Daoist of the Foundation Establishment realm who would fall in this brutal war. The death of such a cultivator would create a noticeable anomaly that could cover the entire state.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī zhèn wú yǔ 。
李凡心中一阵无语。
Li Fan could then confirm the event’s occurrence immediately.
wǔ lǎo huì tū xí wàn xiān dǎo nà rì ， tiān xuán jìng hū de shī qù le xiào yòng ， biàn chéng le yī kuài shí tóu 。
五老会突袭万仙岛那日，天玄镜忽的失去了效用，变成了一块石头。
To avoid suspicion, Li Fan didn’t just wait but wandered around the shops in Tianling City instead.
zhè jiàn shì gěi le lǐ fán qǐ fā ， yú shì yǒu le jīn cì zhè fān dà dǎn cháng shì 。
这件事给了李凡启发，于是有了今次这番大胆尝试。
"Are you looking for Heavenly Profound Flowers? We have some here. Friend, take a look at these."
jié guǒ yě bù chū tā suǒ liào 。
结果也不出他所料。
The shopkeeper became enthusiastic upon hearing Li Fan's request and pointed to several flowers on display.
méi yǒu zài tiān xuán jìng nèi guò duō tíng liú ， yòng le zèng yǔ de gòng xiàn dù ， gòu mǎi le yī méi chǔ wù jiè hòu 。
没有在天玄镜内过多停留，用了赠与的贡献度，购买了一枚储物戒后。
Heavenly Profound Flowers were a specialty of the Sky Spirit State. Each flower had different petals that would reveal unique scenes when fully bloomed—mountains, rivers, or even snowfall.
lǐ fán tōng guò chuán sòng zhèn ， lái dào le tiān líng zhōu 。
李凡通过传送阵，来到了天灵州。
A single flower could capture the beauty of the world in its petals.
bìng méi yǒu chū le tiān líng chéng ， ér shì jìng jìng zài chéng zhōng děng dài qǐ lái 。
并没有出了天灵城，而是静静在城中等待起来。
These flowers were like receiving divine grace, breathtaking to behold.
ruò shì wǔ lǎo huì zhēn de duì wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān tū xí de huà ， gēn jù qián shì jīng yàn ， yīng gāi huì yǒu hé dào xiū shì zài zhè chǎng cǎn liè de zhàn zhēng zhōng yǔn luò 。
若是五老会真的对五行大洞天突袭的话，根据前世经验，应该会有合道修士在这场惨烈的战争中陨落。
But what use did they have?
ér hé dào xiū shì sǐ wáng hòu de yì xiàng ， zú yǐ fù gài zhěng gè zhōu yù 。
而合道修士死亡后的异象，足以覆盖整个州域。
Two words: none.
lǐ fán yě jiù néng dì yī shí jiān ， què dìng shì jiàn de fā shēng 。
李凡也就能第一时间，确定事件的发生。
The only purpose was for观赏.
dāng rán ， wèi le bì miǎn yǐn qǐ huái yí ， lǐ fán yě méi yǒu shǎ děng zhe ， ér shì zài tiān líng chéng zhōng de diàn pù zhōng ， xián guàng le qǐ lái 。
当然，为了避免引起怀疑，李凡也没有傻等着，而是在天灵城中的店铺中，闲逛了起来。
However, Heavenly Profound Flowers had a short lifespan and could only remain fully bloomed for about seven days. Even with special wooden boxes, they could last no more than a month at most.
“ tiān líng huā ？ yǒu yǒu yǒu ， dào yǒu lái kàn zhè jǐ zhū 。”
“天灵花？有有有，道友来看这几株。”
Moreover, these flowers were highly sensitive to various forces. If accidentally exposed to spiritual energy fluctuations or transported through space, the scenes on their petals would be affected.
diàn jiā tīng dào lǐ fán de yāo qiú ， dùn shí biàn dé shí fēn rè qíng ， lián máng zhǐ zhe diàn lǐ de jǐ pén huā duǒ ， xiàng lǐ fán zhǎn shì qǐ lái 。
店家听到李凡的要求，顿时变得十分热情，连忙指着店里的几盆花朵，向李凡展示起来。
Mildly, the images might become blurry; severely, all the scenes would vanish.
tiān líng huā ， nǎi shì tiān líng zhōu tè chǎn 。
天灵花，乃是天灵州特产。
Without the petal scenes, Heavenly Profound Flowers lost their观赏 value and became worthless.
huā kāi bù tóng bàn 。
花开不同瓣。
Thus, those who wished to see them had to travel to the Sky Spirit State themselves.
shèng kāi zhī hòu ， měi yī huā bàn shàng ， dū huì yǒu tè shū de jǐng xiàng fú xiàn 。
盛开之后，每一花瓣上，都会有特殊的景象浮现。
This made Heavenly Profound Flowers rare outside of it.
huò shì qīng sè shān mài ， huò shì tāo tāo dà jiāng 。
或是青色山脉，或是滔滔大江。
During the great war in his previous life, Heavenly Profound Flowers nearly went extinct. Back then, everyone was focused on the battle, and no one cared about their price.
yì huò shì tiān jiàng bái xuě 。
亦或是天降白雪。
Only after the war ended did they gradually flourish again. However, by that time, cultivators discovered that due to the bloodshed at their growth site, the scenes on the petals were no longer beautiful landscapes but horrific images of mutual slaughter among cultivators.
yī duǒ huā ， biàn huì jí le shì jiān gè chù de měi jǐng 。
一朵花，便汇集了世间各处的美景。
It was a sight to behold.
fǎng fú dé tiān zhī líng ， měi bù shèng shōu 。
仿佛得天之灵，美不胜收。
People missed the once-beautiful Heavenly Profound Flowers, but the scenes on the petals could not be controlled. Transplanting them elsewhere would cause them to wither immediately.
ruò wèn cǐ huā yǒu shén me yòng chǔ ……
若问此花有什么用处……
Since then, Heavenly Profound Flowers had become an absolute rarity in the world.
liǎng gè zì ： méi yòng 。
两个字：没用。
Recalling a piece of trivia from his previous life, Li Fan carefully selected a seventeen-petal Heavenly Profound Flower.
huò xǔ shuō ， wéi yī de yòng tú ， jiù shì ná lái guān shǎng le 。
或许说，唯一的用途，就是拿来观赏了。
"This one."
bù guò cǐ huā shēng mìng zhōu qī jiào duǎn ， shèng kāi zhī hòu ， wǎng wǎng zhǐ néng wéi chí qī tiān de shí jiān 。
不过此花生命周期较短，盛开之后，往往只能维持七天的时间。
"Just this one? Friend, why not choose more?" The shopkeeper looked disappointed.
jiù suàn yòng tè shū de mù hé shèng fàng ， zuì duō yě néng chǔ cún yí gè yuè zuǒ yòu 。
就算用特殊的木盒盛放，最多也能储存一个月左右。
"One flower is enough," Li Fan smiled.
ér qiě ， gèng má fán de shì ， cǐ huā yòu duì gè zhǒng lì liàng shí fēn mǐn gǎn 。
而且，更麻烦的是，此花又对各种力量十分敏感。
"Three hundred contribution points," the shopkeeper reported after seeing Li Fan’s resolve to pay.
ruò shì bù xiǎo xīn bèi líng lì bō dòng zhān rǎn ， yì huò shì tōng guò kōng jiān chuán sòng de huà 。
若是不小心被灵力波动沾染，亦或是通过空间传送的话。
Li Fan paid without hesitation and carefully received the sealed wooden box from the shopkeeper.
huā bàn shàng de zhǒng zhǒng jǐng xiàng ， yě huì shòu dào yí dìng de yǐng xiǎng 。
花瓣上的种种景象，也会受到一定的影响。
Inside the box, the Heavenly Profound Flower was in full bloom. After special treatment, it could remain fully bloomed for about thirty days.
Li Fan remained unperturbed. "Friend, you jest."
"From what I just heard, it seems that the new Secret Messenger大人 is named Li Fan as well," Huang Ranqi said.
"If I were really a spy of the Five Elders' Association, why would I choose such an obvious name? It would only draw attention to myself," Li Fan argued.
Hearing this, Huang Ranqi nodded in agreement. "There's some truth to that."
Li Fan continued, "I also heard that cultivators must verify their identity before joining the Immortal Alliance. With the extraordinary means of the Immortal Alliance, if there was anything amiss with me, I would surely be exposed on the spot. Then, you'd be hailed as a hero for turning in a spy."
