纹个道友，你想参与争本。“白雪的脸卜满是愕然函蚀合明老怪物嘴里虎口夺食，这小子莫非不知道该怎么写“死”字。
A fellow cultivator, you wish to bid on this item," Snow White's face was filled with shock as she looked at the old monster named Huo Ming. This kid must not know how to write 'death.'
“ bù cuò ， zài xià què shí xiǎng yào chū jià de 。”
“不错，在下确实想要出价的。”
"Indeed, I do want to place a bid."
duì yú zhòng rén de cuò è ， lín xuān shì ruò wú dǔ 。 xià gū cǎo tā zhì zài bì děi ， fǎn zhèng duì fāng yǐ jiāng zì jǐ rèn chū ， shēn fèn jì rán bào lù ， lín xuān yě jiù huō chū qù le ， jiù suàn zì jǐ bù chū tóu ， nán dào zhè tū lǘ jiù huì bà shǒu 。
对于众人的错愕，林轩视若无睹。夏孤草他志在必得，反正对方已将自己认出，身份既然暴露，林轩也就豁出去了，就算自己不出头，难道这秃驴就会罢手。
Lin Xuan ignored everyone's astonishment. Xia Gucao was his target, and he had already been recognized by the other party. With his identity exposed, Lin Xuan decided to go all in; even if he didn't come forward, would that monk stop?
fǎn zhèng shuāng fāng yě shì sǐ chóu ， dào le zhè ge dì bù ， hái yǒu shén me hǎo gù jì de ？
反正双方也是死仇，到了这个地步，还有什么好顾忌的？
After all, they were mortal enemies at this point—what else did he have to lose?
huì tōng xīn zhōng dà nù ， yuán běn yīn wèi nà zhāng miàn jù ， tā duō shǎo hái yǒu xiē gù jì rú yān xiān zi 。 méi xiǎng dào zhè xiǎo zi bù zhī sǐ huó ， jū rán gǎn zài tài suì tóu shàng dòng tǔ 。
慧通心中大怒，原本因为那张面具，他多少还有些顾忌如嫣仙子。没想到这小子不知死活，居然敢在太岁头上动土。
Huitong was furious inside. He had originally hesitated due to the mask, but now, this kid dared to meddle with a sacred site.
bù guò zuò wéi lí hé qī lǎo guài wù ， zhè jiā huo yōng yǒu jí shēn de chéng fǔ ， biǎo miàn shàng sī háo yì sè bù lù ：“ ó ， zhè wèi dào yǒu yě xiǎng zhēng duó 。 bù zhī dào nǐ zhǔn bèi ná shén me bǎo wù ， mò fēi bǐ lǎo nà de tài yǐ jīn jīng hái yào zhēn guì me ？”
不过作为离合期老怪物，这家伙拥有极深的城府，表面上丝毫异色不露：“哦，这位道友也想争夺。不知道你准备拿什么宝物，莫非比老衲的太乙金精还要珍贵么？”
However, as an old monster of the Separation and Union stage, he had deep reserves. His expression remained calm: "Oh, you also wish to compete for it. What precious treasure do you plan on using? Could it be more valuable than my Taiyi Golden Essence?"
yǔ qì zhī zhōng ， yǐn hán yī sī jī fěng ， xū zhī jí shǐ zài nì tiān bǎo wù zhī zhōng ， tài yǐ jīn jīng yě kě yǐ pái rù qián liè de 。
语气之中，隐含一丝讥讽，须知即使在逆天宝物之中，太乙金精也可以排入前列的。
His tone contained a hint of mockery. Even among divine treasures, Taiyi Golden Essence was considered one of the top.
jiù suàn zhè xiǎo zi xiǎng yào jiǎo jú ， kě qū qū yī yuán yīng zhōng qī ， néng gòu ná chū zěn yàng de hǎo dōng xī 。 bù zì liàng lì ！
就算这小子想要搅局，可区区一元婴中期，能够拿出怎样的好东西。不自量力！
Even if this kid wanted to cause trouble, what could an early-stagemiddle-stage Infant Stage cultivator possibly offer? Overestimating oneself!
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， shǒu wàn fān zhuǎn ， bái guāng yī shǎn ， zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng jǐ duō chū le yī jīng yíng qiǎo de yù píng lái 。
林轩吸了口气，手腕翻转，白光一闪，掌心之中己多出了一晶莹巧的玉瓶来。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and flipped his wrist. A white light flashed, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm.
bá kāi píng sāi ， cóng lǐ miàn dào chū le yī lì jié bái rú xuě de dān wán ， dàn dàn de xiāng qì suí zhī
拔开瓶塞，从里面到出了一粒洁白如雪的丹丸，淡淡的香气随之
He uncorked it, revealing a snow-white pill inside, emitting a faint fragrance.
xiān dān ！
仙丹！
Elixir of Immortality!
zhòng lǎo guài yī dāi ， suí hòu bù shǎo rén de liǎn shàng dōu lù chū le bǐ yí de biǎo qíng lái 。
众老怪一呆，随后不少人的脸上都露出了鄙夷的表情来。
The old monsters were stunned, then many of them showed disdainful expressions.
“ wǒ méi kàn cuò ba ， jiù yī lì líng dān ！”
“我没看错吧，就一粒灵丹！”
"Did I hear right? Just one spirit pill!"
“ zhè xiǎo zi mò fēi nǎo dài huài le ， tài yǐ jīn jīng jí shǐ ná dào líng jiè ， yě shì dǐng jí de liàn bǎo cái liào ， qí jià zhí qǐ shì qū qū yī lì dān yào kě bǐ 。”
“这小子莫非脑袋坏了，太乙金精即使拿到灵界，也是顶级的炼宝材料，其价值岂是区区一粒丹药可比。”
"This kid must be crazy. Taiyi Golden Essence is still considered top-grade treasure material even in the Spirit Realm. How could it possibly compare to a mere pill?"
“ jiù shì ， mò fēi chī le cǐ wù ， hái néng gòu bái rì fēi shēng me ？”
“就是，莫非吃了此物，还能够白日飞升么？”
"Exactly! Could eating this make him ascend to heaven during the day?"
“ guài bù dé gǎn yǔ lí hé qī qián bèi qiǎng dōng xī ， yuán lái shì nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí 。”
“怪不得敢与离合期前辈抢东西，原来是脑袋有问题。”
"He's no wonder to challenge senior cultivators of the Separation and Union stage—his mind must be messed up."
gè zhǒng gè yàng de yì lùn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān què shì ruò wú dǔ ， zhè xiē jiā huo ， duì zì jǐ lěng cháo rè fěng ， dōu bù guò shì wèi le tǎo hǎo yǎn qián de huì tōng 。
各种各样的议论传入耳朵，林轩却视若无睹，这些家伙，对自己冷嘲热讽，都不过是为了讨好眼前的慧通。
Various discussions spread, but Lin Xuan ignored them. These fellows were only flattering Huitong out of fear.
xiū xiān zhě qī ruǎn pà è 。 liǎn pí kě bǐ chéng qiáng hái yào hòu dé duō ， rú guǒ néng gòu dé dào lí hé qī lǎo guài wù de qīng lài ， hǎo chù jiǎn zhí shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。
修仙者欺软怕恶。脸皮可比城墙还要厚得多，如果能够得到离合期老怪物的青睐，好处简直数不胜数。
Cultivators despised weakness and feared power. Their faces could be thicker than city walls; if they could win favor from an old monster of the Separation and Union stage, the benefits would be countless.
lín xuān dāng rán bú huì jiāng zhè xiē huà fàng zài xīn zhōng 。 zì gù zì de kāi kǒu ：“ zài xià ná chū de dān yào ， dāng rán méi yǒu bái rì fēi shēng de gōng xiào ， bù guò yě fēi pǔ tōng zhī wù ， xiū shì fú yòng yǐ hòu ， shòu yuán zú kě zēng jiā bǎi nián zhī duō 。”
林轩当然不会将这些话放在心中。自顾自的开口：“在下拿出的丹药，当然没有白日飞升的功效，不过也非普通之物，修士服用以后，寿元足可增加百年之多。”
Lin Xuan didn't let these words bother him. He continued: "The pills I present do not have the ability to ascend during the day, but they are no ordinary items. After a cultivator consumes them, their lifespan can increase by a hundred years."
lín xuān huà yīn wǎng luò ， dǐ xià jiù rú tóng zhà le kāi guō ， bù lùn xiū shì hái shì yāo zú ， liǎn shàng jiē mǎn shì zhèn jīng zhī sè 。
林轩话音网落，底下就如同炸了开锅，不论修士还是妖族，脸上皆满是震惊之色。
Lin Xuan's words caused a commotion among both cultivators and monsters. Everyone was shocked.
xiū xiān xiū xiān 。 zhuī běn sù yuán ， bù jiù shì wèi le nà cháng shēng zhī mèng ， jǐn guǎn zhī dào huì lì jīng kǎn kě 。 jǐn guǎn zhī dào fēi shēng de xī wàng qí shí piāo miǎo dào le jí chù 。
修仙修仙。追本溯源，不就是为了那长生之梦，尽管知道会历经坎坷。尽管知道飞升的希望其实飘渺到了极处。
Cultivation cultivation—tracing back its roots, wasn't it all about achieving immortality? Even knowing the path would be filled with hardships and that the hope of ascending might be as elusive as a mirage, countless wise men still pursued it.
kě gǔ wǎng jīn lái ， zhū duō cái zhì zhī shì ， hái shì lì jīng zhuó kǔ ， qián pū hòu jì de zhuī xún zhe 。
可古往今来，诸多才智之士，还是历经卓苦，前仆后继的追寻着。
For an early-stagemiddle-stage Infant Stage cultivator or even one at the Separation and Union stage, a hundred years was merely a blink of an eye.
suì yuè yōu yōu ， duì yú yuán yīng jí shèn zhì shì lí hé qī de xiū xiān zhě lái shuō ， zhè bǎi nián shòu yuán 。 qí shí yě bù guò dàn zhǐ yī huī jiān 。
岁月悠悠，对于元婴级甚至是离合期的修仙者来说，这百年寿元。其实也不过弹指一挥间。
But don't underestimate this—those who had higher cultivation levels feared death more. An extra hundred years might just give them a chance to break through their barriers.
kě qiān wàn bié yīn wèi cǐ gù ， jiù xiǎo kàn shén me 。 xiū wèi yuè gāo zhī rén jiù yuè pà sǐ ， néng cān duō chū yì bǎi nián guāng yīn ， shuō bù dìng jiù yǒu jī huì tū pò píng jǐng 。
可千万别因为此故，就小看什么。修为越高之人就越怕死，能骖多出一百年光阴，说不定就有机会突破瓶颈。
Even Huitong's face showed greed as he stared at Lin Xuan's pill.
dīng zhe lín xuān shǒu lǐ de dān yào ， lián huì tōng hé shàng dōu qiāo dāi le 。
盯着林轩手里的丹药，连慧通和尚都悄呆了。
Increase lifespan?
liǎn shàng mǎn shì tān lán 。
脸上满是贪婪。
Could it be the legendary ancient wonder, the Elixir of Immortality?
zēng jiā shòu yuán ？
增加寿元？
Gulp!
nán dào shì chuán shuō zhōng de shàng gǔ qí yào cháng shēng dān ？
难道是传说中的上古奇药长生丹？
The entire Hall of Immortality echoed with many swallowing sounds. Even if they didn't know for sure, just the name "Elixir of Immortality" made these old monsters' faces turn wild with excitement—no divine treasure could compare to a pill that increased lifespan.
gū dōng ！
咕咚！
Lin Xuan was delighted. He sighed softly; in the secret realm of Yuxuan Sect, he had obtained three Elixirs of Immortality.
zhěng gè cháng shēng diàn xiǎng qǐ le hěn duō tūn kǒu shuǐ de shēng yīn ， jǐn guǎn bù zhī dào shì zhēn shì jiǎ kě jǐn jǐn shì cháng shēng dān de míng tóu yǐ ràng lǎo guài wù men liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yī piàn kuáng rè ， shén me nì tiān bǎo wù dōu wú fǎ yǔ zēng jiā shòu yuán de líng dān xiāng bǐ 。
整个长生殿响起了很多吞口水的声音，尽管不知道是真是假可仅仅是长生丹的名头已让老怪物们脸上的表情一片狂热，什么逆天宝物都无法与增加寿元的灵丹相比。
He was willing to offer such a precious item because nothing else matched Taiyi Golden Essence's value. Watingtinglou was no small matter—it belonged to an advanced-stage Separation and Union cultivator who would never take ordinary things lightly.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， suí hòu què yòu yōu yōu de tàn le kǒu qì ， dāng nián zài yù xuán zōng de mì jìng lǐ ， tā dé dào de cháng shēng dān yī gòng yǒu sān lì 。
林轩心中一喜，随后却又悠悠的叹了口气，当年在玉玄宗的秘境里，他得到的长生丹一共有三粒。
Secondly, with treasures like the Blue Star Sea, he didn't need any more spirit herbs; his cultivation speed was faster than that of a prodigy, so before his lifespan ran out, he could definitely advance.
lín xuān zhī suǒ yǐ shě de jiāng zhè yàng de bǎo wù ná chū ， yī shì chú cǐ yǐ wài ， zì jǐ shí zài xiǎng bù chū hái yǒu shén me bié de bǎo wù ， jià zhí néng gòu shèng guò tài yǐ jīn jīng yī chóu ， bì jìng wàng tíng lóu fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， nǎi shì lí hé hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yì bān zhī wù ， jué bù kě néng fàng zài yǎn zhōng 。
林轩之所以舍得将这样的宝物拿出，一是除此以外，自己实在想不出还有什么别的宝物，价值能够胜过太乙金精一筹，毕竟望亭楼非同小可，乃是离合后期的修仙者，一般之物，绝不可能放在眼中。
In other words, to these old monsters, the Elixir of Immortality was invaluable. But for him, it was practically useless.
èr shì zì xìn ， yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi zhè yàng de yì bǎo ， zì jǐ gēn běn jiù bù quē líng yào ， xiū liàn dù bǐ tiān cái hái yào kuài dé duō ， zài shòu yuán hào jìn yǐ qián ， yí dìng kě yǐ shùn lì jìn jí 。
二是自信，有蓝色星海这样的异宝，自己根本就不缺灵药，修炼度比天才还要快得多，在寿元耗尽以前，一定可以顺利晋级。
Since this was the case, he might as well use it in exchange for something better.
huàn jù huà shuō ， duì bié de lǎo guài wù ， cháng shēng dān zhēn guì dào le jí chù ， kě yú zì jǐ ， què gēn běn jiù yòng bù shàng de 。
换句话说，对别的老怪物，长生丹珍贵到了极处，可于自己，却根本就用不上的。
Lin Xuan scanned the entire room; indeed, the old monsters were all early-stagemiddle-stage Infant Stage cultivators. After their initial shock wore off, they quickly regained composure.
jì rán rú cǐ ， dāng rán kě yǐ yòng lái huàn bǎo 。
既然如此，当然可以用来换宝。
The only question now: Was the strange cultivator's Elixir of Immortality genuine?
lín xuān de mù guāng sǎo guò quán chǎng ， zài zuò de ， bù kuì shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de lǎo guài wù ， zài zhèn jīng guò hòu ， biǎo qíng hěn kuài jiù píng fù xià qù le 。
林轩的目光扫过全场，在座的，不愧是元婴中期的老怪物，在震惊过后，表情很快就平复下去了。
If so, Taiyi Golden Essence couldn't compare. Even though Huitong was at the Separation and Union stage, he likely wouldn't have anything better to offer.
rú jīn yí wèn zhǐ yǒu yí gè ” zhè mò shēng xiū shì shǒu zhōng de zhēn shì cháng shēng dān me ？
如今疑问只有一个”这陌生修士手中的真是长生丹么？
If not, the consequences were his own; but judging by this man's calm demeanor, he didn't seem like a fraud.
rú guǒ shì ， tài yǐ jīn jīng yě wú fǎ xiàng bǐ ， huì tōng suī shì lí hé qī ， kǒng pà yě bù kě néng ná chū gèng hǎo de dōng xī 。
如果是，太乙金精也无法相比，慧通虽是离合期，恐怕也不可能拿出更好的东西。
Unexpectedly, this auction had become quite exciting. An old monster of the Separation and Union stage had Elixirs of Immortality—items that defied natural laws and could increase one's lifespan. They all appeared now.
rú guǒ bú shì ， nà hòu guǒ zì fù ， bù guò kàn cǐ rén yī fù zhèn dìng cóng róng de yàng zi ， dào bù xiàng shì zhāo yáo zhuàng piàn zhī tú 。
如果不是，那后果自负，不过看此人一副镇定从容的样子，倒不像是招摇撞骗之徒。
Even without purchasing anything, just watching this spectacle made it worthwhile.
méi xiǎng dào zhè cì pāi mài jiāo yì ， jìng ** dié qǐ 。 lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， hái yǒu cháng shēng dān zhè zhǒng wú shì tiān dì fǎ zé 。 kě yǐ zēng jiā shòu yuán de bǎo wù ， jū rán quán dōu yī yī xiàn shì le 。
没想到这次拍卖交易，竟**迭起。离合期修仙者，还有长生丹这种无视天地法则。可以增加寿元的宝物，居然全都一一现世了。
Snow White's voice then reached his ears: "If you don't mind, please come over for a chat. I need to verify if the Elixir of Immortality is genuine."
jí shǐ méi yǒu mǎi xià shén me dōng xī ， guāng shì kàn zhè yī chū hǎo xì ， jiù yǐ cǐ xíng bù xū 。
即使没有买下什么东西，光是看这一出好戏，就已此行不虚。
"Of course not."
ér bái xuě de shēng yīn chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ ：“ zhè wèi dào yǒu ruò bù jiè yì ， qǐng guò lái yī xù ， cháng shēng dān shì zhēn shì jiǎ ， qiè shēn xū yào jiàn dìng yī xià 。”
而白雪的声音传入了耳朵里：“这位道友若不介意，请过来一叙，长生丹是真是假，妾身需要鉴定一下。”
Lin Xuan nodded and ignored Huitong's pale face as he floated towards Snow White with a faint green glow.
“ méi yǒu wèn tí 。”
“没有问题。”
Arriving before her, Lin Xuan glanced at this woman; indeed, there were some fine silver scales behind her ears. Her spirit fluctuations were different from those of humans—there was a subtle aura of beastly energy within them. Despite hosting the auction, she might be more powerful than many cultivators present.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， yě bù qù kàn huì tōng tiě qīng wú bǐ de liǎn sè ， hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ 。 qīng piāo piāo de xiàng pāi mài tái piāo le guò qù 。
林轩点了点头，也不去看慧通铁青无比的脸色，浑身青芒一起。轻飘飘的像拍卖台飘了过去。
"Please examine it."
lái dào bái xuě de miàn qián ， lín xuān kàn le cǐ nǚ yī yǎn ， tā de ěr duǒ hòu miàn ， guǒ rán yǒu yī xiē xì xì de yín sè lín piàn 。
来到白雪的面前，林轩看了此女一眼，她的耳朵后面，果然有一些细细的银色鳞片。
Lin Xuan openly tossed the Elixir of Immortality to her; in broad daylight, there was no fear of trickery. He was just surprised that this woman herself might be a verifier.
líng lì bō dòng yě yǔ rén zú bù tóng ， yǐn yǐn yǒu yī xiē dàn dàn de yāo qì zài qí zhōng ， bié kàn cǐ nǚ zhǔ chí pāi mài ， qí xiū wèi shén tōng ， kǒng pà hái yào shèng guò zài chǎng xǔ duō xiū xiān zhě 。
灵力波动也与人族不同，隐隐有一些淡淡的妖气在其中，别看此女主持拍卖，其修为神通，恐怕还要胜过在场许多修仙者。
Snow White carefully took it and examined it with utmost caution. In ancient times, the Elixir of Immortality rarely appeared, always causing bloodshed. Even if one knew its ingredients were rare, gathering over a hundred precious herbs required immense luck. The difficulty in crafting it was mind-boggling; even master alchemists had less than a 1% success rate.
“ gū niáng qǐng kàn ”。
“姑娘请看”。
Clearly, this was an incredibly valuable item!
lín xuān háo bù huì jì de jiāng cháng shēng dān pāo dào tā de miàn qián ， zhòng mù kuí kuí zhī xià ， dào yě bù pà cǐ nǚ gǎo guǐ ， zhǐ shì xīn zhōng yǒu xiē jīng qí ， nán dào cǐ nǚ běn shēn hái shì yī míng jiàn dìng shī 。
林轩毫不讳忌的将长生丹抛到她的面前，众目睽睽之下，倒也不怕此女搞鬼，只是心中有些惊奇，难道此女本身还是一名鉴定师。
Snow White held the pill and blew gently on it. A green light appeared, swirling around the pill, making it spin. Snow White stared intently.
bái xuě xiǎo xīn yì yì de jiē guò ， miàn duì zhè zhǒng chuán shuō zhōng de qí wù ， tā yě sī háo bù gǎn qīng hū 。 cháng shēng dān ， zài shàng gǔ shí qī yě shì jí shǎo xiàn shì 。 měi yī cì chū xiàn ， zǒng néng yǐn qǐ xīng fēng xuè yǔ 。
白雪小心翼翼的接过，面对这种传说中的奇物，她也丝毫不敢轻忽。长生丹，在上古时期也是极少现世。每一次出现，总能引起腥风血雨。
Lin Xuan was also surprised—what kind of verification method was this? But he didn't speak; cultivation was vast and profound. He had seen many strange techniques but wasn't surprised by this one.
qiě bù shuō cǐ wù de yuán liào shì duō me zhēn xī 。 qián qián hòu hòu xū yào de bǎi yú wèi yào cái quán shì nì tiān de dōng xī ， jiù suàn hǎo yùn còu qí ， yòu zěn me yàng ne 。 qí liàn zhì nán dù ， kě yǐ shuō ràng rén táng mù jié shé ， jiù suàn shì zōng shī jí de liàn dān gāo shǒu ， chéng gōng lǜ yě bú dào qiān fēn zhī yī 。
且不说此物的原料是多么珍稀。前前后后需要的百余味药材全是逆天的东西，就算好运凑齐，又怎么样呢。其炼制难度，可以说让人膛目结舌，就算是宗师级的炼丹高手，成功率也不到千分之一。
PS: Keep requesting recommendation votes! (To be continued)
A fellow cultivator, you wish to bid on this item," Snow White's face was filled with shock as she looked at the old monster named Huo Ming. This kid must not know how to write 'death.'
"Indeed, I do want to place a bid."
Lin Xuan ignored everyone's astonishment. Xia Gucao was his target, and he had already been recognized by the other party. With his identity exposed, Lin Xuan decided to go all in; even if he didn't come forward, would that monk stop?
After all, they were mortal enemies at this point—what else did he have to lose?
Huitong was furious inside. He had originally hesitated due to the mask, but now, this kid dared to meddle with a sacred site.
However, as an old monster of the Separation and Union stage, he had deep reserves. His expression remained calm: "Oh, you also wish to compete for it. What precious treasure do you plan on using? Could it be more valuable than my Taiyi Golden Essence?"

Even if one knew its ingredients were rare, gathering over a hundred precious herbs required immense luck. The difficulty in crafting it was mind-boggling; even master alchemists had less than a 1% success rate.
Clearly, this was an incredibly valuable item!
Snow White held the pill and blew gently on it. A green light appeared, swirling around the pill, making it spin. Snow White stared intently.
Lin Xuan was also surprised—what kind of verification method was this? But he didn't speak; cultivation was vast and profound. He had seen many strange techniques but wasn't surprised by this one.
