Phoenix Destiny-Chapter 431 - Great Grandelder

As soon as Xie Lianzhen left, Lu Mingshu felt empty all of a sudden.

其实大部分时候,他都是自得其乐,并不缠人的.

Even though he spent most of the time minding his own business and only a short while annoying her.

陆明舒摇摇头,深觉习惯的可怕.

Lu Mingshu shook her thoughts away.

~Habits are really scary.~

也罢,习惯回来就好了.

~Whatever, let’s just accustomed back to my normal life.~

时光的车轮继续往前推动.周家在奉还所有侵占的财物后,得到长老会网开一面,放他们离开了.

Fast forwarding, the Zhou family returned all the wealth that they have corrupted and the elders have agreed to let them off.

清点周家的过程中,长老们被深深震惊了.

While counting the items, all Nine Jade Palace elders were being surprised deedly.

周家经营九瑶宫多年,积累下惊人的财富,甚至比九瑶宫的库藏还多!难怪他们能收拢那么多依附者,钱财能通鬼神啊.

The Zhou family have controlled the Nine Jade Palace for years, and have accumulated a shocking amount of wealth, and they are even richer than the Nine Jade Palace!

No wonder they are able to get so many on their side!

Money could be used to do anything.

有了这笔财富,再加上刘极真有意普及陆明舒带回来的秘法,九瑶宫经此血案,埋头发展,一时间气氛大有改善.

With this heavy sum of money and Liu Jizhen means to help the sect Lu Mingshu secret technique.

After the slaughter in Nine Jade Palace, the sect showed a huge improvement.

几个月后,谭语冰出神了.

After a few months, Tan Yubing broke through successfully.

这下真正震动了九瑶宫.

The whole Nine Jade Palace was left in utter shock.

蒯信出神,虽然让他们震惊,但也能理解.毕竟蒯信早就卡在了那个关口,只是突破失败而已.就算没有这本秘法,他运气好还是能破关的.

The news of Kuai Xin breaking through did shock the sect, but it’s predictable.

Kuai Xin has reached that stage long ago, it’s only that he had a failed attempt of breaking through.

So even without the secret technique, he would be able to so with ample luck.

谭语冰不一样,她的修为进度,在同年纪的弟子中,进不了第一梯队,就算运气好,想突破出神也要几年时间.

But it’s a different case for Tan Yubing.

She is considered the slower ones among her peers.

Even with luck, it would take her a few years before she broke through.

可她居然就这样破关成功了,这本秘法是有多厉害?她修炼了也才半年吧?

And Tan Yubing did breakthrough now!

~How powerful is this secret technique?

She has only trained for half of the year!~

一时间,九瑶宫内气氛火.热,众人埋头苦修,见面一句”近日可有进益”已经成了流行问候语.

Within no time, the Nine Jade Palace is lively, and every disciple is training hard.

Now, the most popular greeting in the Nine Jade Palace is now “Is there any improvements?”

而陆明舒,神女祭后,仍然深居简出,连长老议事都不出面——反正有师父在呢!

However, even after the Deity’s festival, Lu Mingshu is still living in seclusion.

She did not even attend the elder’s meeting—~My master would be there after all!~

这些日子,她都在玄女幻景里苦修.另外,又去了一趟神女遗迹,收罗散落的遗物.

These days, she has been training in the mystic lady’s imagination.

Lu Mingshu had also made a trip to the Goddess remnant’s to collect the items left behind.

那些东西,大部分都不可用了,但有些看着还有价值.

Mostly are useless now, but some are still valuable.

她在天轮里换了些锻剑之物,寻之前那位炼剑师升级月神剑.

She then exchanged items in the heavenly wheel and contacted the lady who made the Lunar god sword to upgrade it.

时光就这么飞快地过去了.

Time passed in no time.

忽有一天,碧溪谷来了一位中年侍女.

Suddenly a middle-aged servant girl came over to the Green Jade Valley.

这位侍女已经有了一定的年纪,行止有度,神态从容.见了陆明舒,行了一礼,说道:”陆长老,太上长老请您去春深峡一趟.”

She’s not young anymore, and she’s polite.

She greeted Lu Mingshu immediately upon seeing her.

“Elder Lu, Great Grand Elder has invited you over to the great spring canyon.”

春深峡,元昔太上长老潜居之所.

Great spring canyon, where the great grand elder Yuan Xi stays.

陆明舒不敢怠慢:”请姑姑稍待,我收拾一番就去.”

“Please hang on, I need to tidy up first.” Lu Mingshu said calmly.

侍女含笑:”您请便.”

The servant girl smiled at her thinly.

“Please take your time!”

陆明舒直奔刘极真的书房:”师父!”

“Master!” Lu Mingshu dashed into Liu Jizhen’s study room.

“元昔太上长老使人来传唤你?”刘极真怎么会没发现谷中的动静呢?

“Did grand elder Yuan Xi called for you?” Of course Liu Jizhen would have knew of what’s going on in the valley.

“嗯,我该怎么办呢?”

“Yes.

What should I do?”

“既然太上长老传唤,当然是去了.”刘极真很淡定,”你不必慌张,当初你陷身神女遗迹的时候,为师去过春深峡.虽是为了给你造势,但元昔太上长老也见了我.太上长老态度甚好,不会对你如何的.”

“Since the grand elder has called for you then you should make your way there.” Liu Jizhen said calmly.

“Need not worry, when you were at the Goddess remnants, I went over to ask her to help you and she met me.

She’s nice so don’t worry.”

连万禹太上长老都退避了,陆明舒怎么会怕?她只是摸不准元昔太上长老的想法,突然召见她所为何事?

Even Grand Elder Wan Yu has stepped back, why would Lu Mingshu fear of her?

She just does not know why did Grand Elder Yuan Xi call for her.

“师父,我既非太上长老一脉,与之又没有什么渊源,她为何要见我?”

“Master, I am not in the grand elder’s line and we do not have any relations, why would she want to see me?”

刘极真淡笑道:”你忘了吗?元昔太上长老寿数将近,想来就在这几日了.”

“Have you forgotten?

Her time is up soon.” Liu Jizhen smiled thinly.

陆明舒一默.

Lu Mingshu kept quiet.

“这半年,你在九瑶宫掀起这么大的风浪,她岂会不知?如今就要去了,想见一见也在情理之中.”

“Within six months, you have flipped the sect upside down.

Why would she not know about it?

It’s logical to call for you.”

听起来似乎很正常,她道:”那徒儿这就去了?”

~Makes sense.~ “Disciple would go over right now?”

“去吧,不要失了礼数.”

“Okay, but mind your manners.”

“是.”

“Okay.”

陆明舒简单地理了理,出去见那位侍女:”这位姑姑,我准备好了.”

Lu Mingshu tided herself in a rush and stepped out.

“Aunty, I’m done.”

…

跟随中年侍女上了车,珍兽拉着飞车,一路疾飞.不多时,到了一处峡谷.

Lu Mingshu followed the servant girl up a vehicle.

A precious beast pulled the vehicle at a fast speed and not after long, they reached a canyon.

明明是个化物境,可以随意调整外在年龄,元昔太上长老却保持着老态龙钟的样貌,可知她并不是注重外表的人.

Grand elder Wan Yu is an assimilation realm, and she could adjust her appearance to her liking as she wished.

However, she chose to remain as to how she is in a older days.

This shows that sh do not really mind her appearance.

春深峡也是这么个地方,宁静幽深,没有多余的布置,只在峡谷末端,建了几幢小楼.

The great spring canyon is an eerie quiet place that’s decorated simply.

It’s located at the end of the canyon, and only a few building could be seen.

一路走来,看到的仆从弟子不多,只有两三人在打理谷中杂务.

Lu Mingshu followed the servant girl to a building.

On her way, there’s not many servants or disciple to be seen.

Only a few who are doing their chores.

侍女带着陆明舒上了楼,却见元昔太上长老在躺椅上睡着了.

The servant girl led Lu Mingshu’s upstairs.

To Lu Mingshu’s surprise, Grand Elder Yuan Xi is sleeping on the chair.

一位少女在她身边服侍着,看到她们上来,屈膝行了一礼:”秀姑姑,陆长老.”

A girl sat by her side, serving her.

Seeing the bother of them, she walked over and greeted the,.

“Aunt Xiu, elder Lu.”

看她年纪和打扮,是九瑶宫的正式弟子,而不是侍婢一流.

From the way she dressed, Lu Mingshu could tell that she’s a disciple of the Nine Jade Palace, and not a servant.

陆明舒点了点头.

Lu Mingshu nodded.

“长老且在此稍待,太上长老一会儿就醒.”这位秀姑姑含笑道.

“Grand elder is resting, please wait patiently, she’ll be up soon.” Aunt Xiu smiled thinly and Lu Mingshu.

陆明舒表示了然.

Lu Mingshu nodded.

她在秀姑姑搬来的椅子上一坐,便静静地等待着,一点也不着急的样子.

She said quietly on the chair that Aunt Xiu have brought her and waited patiently.

不知道过了多久,躺椅上的元昔太上长老悠悠转醒:”榕儿.”

After some time, Grand Elder Yuan Xi finally woke up.

“Rong-er.”

少女低头:”太师祖,榕儿在.”

The girl looked up at grand elder Yuan Xi.

“Great martial grandmother, Rong-er is here.”

元昔太上长老撑起身,她连忙上去扶.

Grand Elder Yuan Xi tried to sit up, and Rong-er went to her help immediately.

“什么时辰了?”

“What time is it?”

“刚过午时.”

“Afternoon.”

元昔太上长老坐起,看到了面前的陆明舒.

Grand elder Yuan Xi than saw Lu Mingshu sitting right at the corner.

她已经起身,见太上长老看到她了,便低头行礼:”弟子陆明舒,见过太上长老.”

She has already stood and, and bowed immediately when grand elder Yuan Xi saw her.

“Disciple Lu Mingshi greets great grand elder.”

元昔太上长老露出和善的笑:”等久了吧?老了,这一睡着就不知道时辰了.你别多礼,坐.”

Smiling warmly, grand elder Yuan Xi nodded her head.

“You have waited for some time, right?

I’m sorry, I am of old age now, please take a seat.”

陆明舒很干脆地坐下了,没有推托.

Lu Mingshu sat down as said.

这让少女和秀姑姑都有些…不知道该怎么评价.连句客气都没有,似乎有些轻狂.可要说她无礼吧,她一直安安静静的,垂目低首,并无不敬之处.

This made the girl and Aunt Xiu speechless…~She did not even say thanks!

That’s rude, but she only kept quiet, and that could not be considered as being rude, right?~

元昔太上长老倒不介意.与当年相比,她的形貌更加苍老,头上根根白丝,已经显出枯败的痕迹,果然是寿数将近了.

However, the grand elder do not seems to mind.

Comparing to when Lu Mingshu first saw her, her hair is all white, and she looks extremely tired.

~Her time is indeed soon.~

“你们俩下去吧,不用这么小心翼翼的.”她对少女阿榕和秀姑姑说.

“You can do down now.

There’s no need to be so careful.” She turned to Ah rong and Aunt xiu.

这两人对视一眼,点了点头:”是.”

Both of them exchange a glance before leaving.

“Yes.”

脚步声远去,小楼里只剩下她们二人.

The footsteps got further, and now, there’s only Lu Mingshu and grand elder Yuan Xi left in the room.

元昔太上长老笑了笑:”是不是在猜我叫你来做什么?”

Grand elder Yuan Xi smiled warmly at Lu Mingshu.

“You’re guessing the reason why I called you here, am I right?”

陆明舒坦然答道:”是.”

“Yes.” Lu Mingshu answered truthfully.

元昔笑容不变:”刘极真那小子,居然收了你这样的徒弟,真是出乎老身的意料.”

“Never would I expect Liu Jizhen that kid to take in a disciple like you!”

这句话她不好回答,索性就不答了.

Lu Mingshu did not know what to answer, so she kept quiet.

元昔继续问:”他修为恢复了?是否会影响突破化物?”

“He has restored is cultivation?

Would he be able to break through the assimilation realm?”

“不会.”陆明舒答得肯定,”师父这些年,一直在锻体,经脉一恢复,就能继续修炼.”

“Yes.” Lu Mingshu nodded.

“Master has been diligently keeping fit these days, so he is able to conitnue cultivating immediately afetr his meridians are restored.”

元昔轻轻点头:”这也是他的福报.”

“That’s his karma.” Yuan Xi nodded.
