“ gěi qián bèi jiàn lǐ 。” nà huáng lǎo suī shì jiàn dìng shī ， dàn miàn duì yī wèi yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， zì rán yě bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo dài màn de 。
“给前辈见礼。”那黄老虽是鉴定师，但面对一位元婴后期的大修仙者，自然也不敢有分毫怠慢的。
"Pay respect to the senior," said Old Yellow, though he was a valuer, he still dared not be careless when facing a late-stage Immortal Refiner.
lín xuān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， suí hòu xiù shì yī fú ， yī piàn qīng xiá juǎn guò ， tā de shēn qián dùn shí chū xiàn le lín lín zhǒng zhǒng de bǎo wù 。 dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ ， bù yī ér zú ， cū lüè yī shù ， jìng yǒu shù shí jiàn zhī duō 。
林轩摆了摆手，随后袖视一怫，一片青霞卷过，他的身前顿时出现了林林种种的宝物。刀枪剑戟，不一而足，粗略一数，竟有数十件之多。
Lin Xuan waved his hand. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, a patch of green clouds rolled over, and various treasures appeared before him. There were swords, halberds, spears, and more—dozens in total.
zhè xiē bǎo wù de lái lì ， lián lín xuān zì jǐ yě bù qīng chǔ ， zhè xiē nián lái ， tā miè shā de xiū shì dà duō ， ér měi yī rén de chǔ wù dài dōu bù fàng guò ， rì jī yuè lěi ， zì rán dào le yī jīng rén de dì bù 。
这些宝物的来历，连林轩自己也不清楚，这些年来，他灭杀的修士大多，而每一人的储物袋都不放过，日积月累，自然到了一惊人的地步。
The origins of these treasures were unclear to Lin Xuan himself. Over the years, he had killed many cultivators, and none of their storage pouches escaped his notice. Accumulated over time, they amounted to a staggering number.
yǔ lín xuān tiāo chū lái de zhè xiē ， jì yǒu gǔ bǎo ， yě yǒu yuán yīng xiū shì liàn zhì chū lái de běn mìng bǎo wù ， yǐ tā de yǎn guāng lái shuō ， rú tóng jī lèi ， dàn luò zài qí tā xiū xiān zhě yǎn lǐ ， què ràng rén yǎn hóng xīn rè 。 jiàn lín xuān yì kǒu qì ná chū nà me duō fǎ bǎo ， xuē qiǎo yún yǔ huáng lǎo yě xià le yī tiào 。
雨林轩挑出来的这些，既有古宝，也有元婴修士炼制出来的本命宝物，以他的眼光来说，如同鸡肋，但落在其他修仙者眼里，却让人眼红心热。见林轩一口气拿出那么多法宝，薛巧云与黄老也吓了一跳。
Of the items Lin Xuan selected, some were ancient treasures, while others were personal talismans crafted by late-stage Immortal Refiners. To him, they seemed like chicken feed, but to other cultivators, they were eye-catching and heart-warming. Seeing so many treasures, both She Qiaoyun and Old Yellow were startled.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， xiāo bǎo liàn zhì kě pǒ wèi bù yì ， yǒu de níng dān qī xiū shì qióng yī shēng zhī lì ， yě bù yí dìng néng liàn zhì chū yī xiàng yàng de fǎ bǎo 。
众所周知，萧宝炼制可颇为不易，有的凝丹期修士穷一生之力，也不一定能炼制出一像样的法宝。
It was well-known that crafting a treasure was no easy task; some condensation core cultivators spent their entire lives trying to create even one decent treasure.
gèng hé kuàng zhè xiē bǎo wù ， bù lùn líng guāng hái shì sè zé ， dōu fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， xiǎn rán zài fǎ bǎo zhī zhōng ， yě shì shǔ yú xī yǒu de bù fán zhī wù 。
更何况这些宝物，不论灵光还是色泽，都非同小可，显然在法宝之中，也是属于稀有的不凡之物。
Moreover, these treasures, whether in terms of spiritual light or color, were extraordinary. Clearly, they belonged to the rare and exceptional category among treasures.
xuē qiǎo yún de yǎn zhōng liú lù chū hài rán zhī sè ， cǐ nǚ dāng rán bú huì rèn wéi ， zhè me duō fǎ bǎo quán shì lín xuān zì jǐ liàn de ， qí zhōng yǒu yí bàn yǐ shàng ， biǎo miàn de běn mìng yìn jì dōu wèi chú qù ， xiǎn rán shì shā rén yuè huò dé lái de dōng xī 。
薛巧云的眼中流露出骇然之色，此女当然不会认为，这么多法宝全是林轩自己炼的，其中有一半以上，表面的本命印记都未除去，显然是杀人越货得来的东西。
She Qiaoyun's eyes showed astonishment. She knew that not all of these treasures were crafted by Lin Xuan himself; many still had their personal marks on them, indicating that they were obtained through murder and plunder.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， tā wàng xiàng lín xuān de Q guāng duō le yī sī jìng wèi zhī sè ， xīn zhōng àn àn dí gū ， zhè xiē - yuán yīng hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， guǒ rán shēn bù kě cè 。 bù guò cǐ nǚ yě yōng yǒu hěn shēn chéng fǔ ， yì sè jǐn jǐn yī shǎn ér guò ， suí hòu jiù yòu tán xiào fēng shēng qǐ lái le 。“ huáng dào yǒu ， nǐ jiàn dìng yī xià ， kàn kàn lǐ mǒu ná chū de zhè xiē bǎo jiǎn ， dà gài zhí duō shǎo jīng shí ？” lín xuān yún dàn fēng qīng de huà yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ 。“ shì 。” nà níng dān qī lǎo zhě ， fēn háo yě bù gǎn dài màn ， zǒu shàng qián ， cóng zhuō shàng qǔ guò yī bǐng fēi jiàn 。
想到这里，她望向林轩的Q光多了一丝敬畏之色，心中暗暗嘀咕，这些-元婴后期的老怪物，果然深不可测。不过此女也拥有很深城府，异色仅仅一闪而过，随后就又谈笑风生起来了。“黄道友，你鉴定一下，看看李某拿出的这些宝捡，大概值多少晶石？”林轩云淡风清的话音传入耳里。“是。”那凝丹期老者，分毫也不敢怠慢，走上前，从桌上取过一柄飞剑。
With this thought, she looked at Lin Xuan with a touch of reverence in her gaze, silently musing to herself: These late-stage Immortal Refiners are truly unfathomable.
cǐ jiàn zhǎng jǐn yǒu chǐ xǔ ， biǎo miàn qīng guāng liú lí ， zài jiàn bǐng zhī chù ， hái kè yǒu xǔ duō wén lù ， yī kàn jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。“ zhè shì yóu wàn nián xuě shā mù liàn chéng de ？”
此剑长仅有尺许，表面青光琉璃，在剑柄之处，还刻有许多纹路，一看就非同小可。“这是由万年雪杉木炼成的？”
"Thirty-five thousand," Lin Xuan nodded, agreeing to the price after Old Yellow offered an additional five thousand spiritual stones. This was already quite reasonable.
lǎo zhě yī shēng jīng hū ， liǎn shàng liú dā chū huǒ rè zhī sè ， mù shǔ xìng fēi jiàn zhōng ， zhè jué duì shì dǐng ér jiān ér de bǎo wù 。
老者一声惊呼，脸上流瘩出火热之色，木属性飞剑中，这绝对是顶儿尖儿的宝物。
Seeing this, Old Yellow breathed a sigh of relief and took out another golden pen. In half an hour, they had appraised all thirty-four treasures. "Senior, your total is nine million spiritual stones," said She Qiaoyun.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng wú jīng wú xǐ ， tā gēn běn jiù jì bù dé jìng jiàn bǎo wù de lái lì 。
林轩的表情无惊无喜，他根本就记不得迳件宝物的来历。
"Nine million?" Lin Xuan was taken aback; She Qiaoyun, who was drinking water nearby, almost choked on her drink.
“ qián bèi ， rú guǒ nín rèn kě ， zhè jiàn zuò jià sān shí wàn jīng shí 。” lǎo zhě yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī tān lán zhī sè ， xiǎo xīn yì yì de kāi kǒu le 。
“前辈，如果您认可，这剑作价三十万晶石。”老者眼中闪过一丝贪婪之色，小心翼翼的开口了。
This was indeed a coincidence. When Lin Xuan presented these treasures, he had not carefully assessed their value, estimating they were worth around seven to eight million spiritual stones. He even planned to add some more. But it turned out that the exact amount was just enough to buy three thousand mushrooms.
lín xuān chén yín bù yǔ ， duì yú fǎ bǎo jià zhí ， tā liǎo jiě dé suī rán méi yǒu jiàn dìng shī qīng chǔ ， dàn dà gài hái shì duō shǎo zhī dào yī xiē de 。
林轩沉吟不语，对于法宝价值，他了解得虽然没有鉴定师清楚，但大概还是多少知道一些的。
The transaction concluded in a joyful atmosphere. She Qiaoyun then led Lin Xuan through several shops, but there was nothing else that caught his eye. The sky grew dark as they walked.
yóu wàn nián líng mù liàn zhì de dǐng jiē fēi jiàn ， rú guǒ shì ná dào pāi mài huì de fāng shì zhī zhōng ， qǐ jià yě shì èr shí wàn jīng shí ， jīng guò yī fān zhēng duó ， mǎi gè sì wǔ shí wàn yě shì bù zú wéi qí de 。
由万年灵木炼制的顶阶飞剑，如果是拿到拍卖会的坊市之中，起价也是二十万晶石，经过一番争夺，买个四五十万也是不足为奇的。
Lin Xuan did not know what he intended by avoiding the topic of late-stage Immortal Refiner puppets and Crystal Might Cannons all day. She Qiaoyun seemed to have forgotten about them too, their interactions were cordial on the surface but strained beneath.
bù guò wěi tuō pāi mài ， àn zhào xiū xiān jiè de guī jǔ ， fāng shì shì yǒu quán lì chōu chéng de ， yì bān shì féng shí chōu yī ， ér qiě zài zhè zhī qián ， hái dé xiān jiāng cǐ jiàn yuán zhǔ rén de běn mìng yìn jì chú qù ， nà yě yào huā jīng shí ， suǒ yǐ suàn xià lái ， huáng xìng lǎo zhě kāi chū de jià wèi suī rán bù gāo ， dàn yě bìng bú shì dī dé lí zèn 。 bì jìng zì jǐ zhè yàng de xíng wéi xiāng dāng yú diǎn dàng ， duì fāng duō shǎo yào zhuàn yī xiē 。
不过委托拍卖，按照修仙界的规矩，坊市是有权力抽成的，一般是逢十抽一，而且在这之前，还得先将此剑原主人的本命印记除去，那也要花晶石，所以算下来，黄姓老者开出的价位虽然不高，但也并不是低得离谮。毕竟自己这样的行为相当于典当，对方多少要赚一些。
"Brother Li, it's rare for you to visit our main hall; do you plan to stay a few days?" "Haha, of course. I haven't fully appreciated the grandeur of the Great Snow Mountain yet, and I've long admired some fellow Daoists at your sect," Lin Xuan said casually.
hé kuàng lín xuān yě bù quē jīng shí ， tā ná chū lái de zhè jǐ shí jiàn fǎ bǎo ， xiāng duì tā de shēn jiā lái shuō ， bù guò jiǔ niú yì máo bà le 。
何况林轩也不缺晶石，他拿出来的这几十件法宝，相对他的身家来说，不过九牛一毛罢了。
She Qiaoyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly but quickly returned to normal. "Since that is so, let me take Brother Lin to the VIP pavilion."
jiàn lín xuān liǎn lù chén yín zhī sè ， nà huáng lǎo què yǐ wéi duì fāng shì bù mǎn ， yǎo le yǎo yá ：“ sān shí wǔ wàn ， qián bèi ， wǒ zhēn de zhǐ néng chū dào zhè jià ， fǒu zé ……”“ jué yì yǐ ！” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， duì fāng zhǔ dòng tí le wǔ wàn jīng shí ， zhè ge jià wèi yǐ jīng hěn hé lǐ 。 jiàn lín xuān tóng yì ， huáng lǎo sōng le kǒu qì ， yòu ná qǐ yī zhào jīn guāng shǎn shǎn de máo bǐ 。 jiù zhè yàng ， xiǎo bàn gè shí chén guò gǔ ， yī gòng sān shí sì jiàn bǎo wù ， cǐ rén zhōng yú yī yī jiàn dìng wán le 。“ qián bèi ， nín de zhè xiē bǎo wù jiā zài yì qǐ ， yī gòng shì jiǔ bǎi wàn jīng shí 。”“ jiǔ bǎi wàn ？” lín xuān yī dāi ， zài páng biān hē shuǐ de xuē qiǎo yún yě chà diǎn yī kǒu pēn le chū lái 。
见林轩脸露沉吟之色，那黄老却以为对方是不满，咬了咬牙：“三十五万，前辈，我真的只能出到这价，否则……”“爝刈乙！”林轩点了点头，对方主动提了五万晶石，这个价位已经很合理。见林轩同意，黄老松了口气，又拿起一棹金光闪闪的毛笔。就这样，小半个时辰过古，一共三十四件宝物，此人终于一一鉴定完了。“前辈，您的这些宝物加在一起，一共是九百万晶石。”“九百万？”林轩一呆，在旁边喝水的薛巧云也差点一口喷了出来。
"Thank you for your trouble." Lin Xuan expressed his gratitude. They left the market and transformed into a streak of light, arriving at several crystal palaces.
cǐ shì hái zhēn shì qiǎo hé ， lín xuān ná chū zhè xiē bǎo wù de shí hòu ， duì gǔ men de jià zhí yě méi yǒu zǐ xì gū guò ， dà gài néng zhí qī bā bǎi wàn ba ， lín xuān hái zhǔn bèi tiē bǔ shàng yì diǎn ， méi xiǎng dào bù duō yě bù shǎo ， gāng hǎo gòu mǎi xià sān qiān zhǐ mù ěr 。 jiē xià lái de shì qíng bù yòng duō shuō ， jiāo yì zài jiē dà huān xǐ gé qì fēn zhōng wán chéng le 。
此事还真是巧合，林轩拿出这些宝物的时候，对牯们的价值也没有仔细估过，大概能值七八百万吧，林轩还准备贴补上一点，没想到不多也不少，刚好够买下三千只木耳。接下来的事情不用多说，交易在皆大欢喜格气氛中完成了。
These were small, elegant pavilions with formidable restrictions around them. These were indeed what they called the VIP pavilions.
suí hòu xuē qiǎo yún yòu dài zhe lín xuān guàng le jǐ gè diàn pù ， kě xī zài méi yǒu dōng xī néng rù tā de fǎ yǎn le 。 bù zhī bù jué ， tiān sè yǐ wǎn 。
随后薛巧云又带着林轩逛了几个店铺，可惜再没有东西能入他的法眼了。不知不觉，天色已晚。
Many high-ranking cultivators came to visit or admire the reputation of Heavenly Clever Sect. The facilities here were complete.
yǔ lín xuān bù zhī bào zhe zěn yàng de rì de ， zhěng zhěng yī tiān ， dōu méi yǒu zài tí yuán yīng qī kuǐ lěi yǔ jīng wēi pào de shì ， ér xuē qiǎo yún yě fǎng fú wàng jì le yì bān ， liǎng rén xū yǔ wēi yí ， bù guò biǎo miàn shàng què shì qí lè róng róng de 。
雨林轩不知抱着怎样的日的，整整一天，都没有再提元婴期傀儡与晶威炮的事，而薛巧云也仿佛忘记了一般，两人虚与委蛇，不过表面上却是其乐融融的。
The restriction screen opened, and a beautiful young girl stepped out. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a round face that was both cute and adorable. "Greetings, Grandmaster!"
“ lǐ xiōng nán dé lái dào wǒ tiān qiǎo mén zǒng tán ， shì fǒu dǎ suàn zhù shàng jǐ tiān ？”“ hē hē ， zhè shì zì rán de ， duì yú dà xuě shān de fēng guāng ， zài xià hái wèi lǐng lüè zú ， hé kuàng duì yú zé pài de yī xiē tóng jiē dào yǒu ， zài xià yě xīn mù yǐ jiǔ 。” lín xuān zhuāng zuò bù jīng yì de kāi kǒu ， xuē qiǎo yún méi tóu què qīng qīng yī zhòu ， dàn hěn kuài yòu huī fù rú cháng le 。“ jì rán rú cǐ ， jiù yóu qiè shēn dài lín xiōng qù guì bīn lóu 。”“ yǒu láo xiān zi le 。” lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì gǎn jī zhī sè 。 suí hòu liǎng rén chū le fāng shì ， chóng xīn huà zuò jīng hóng ， hěn kuài ， jiù lái dào jǐ zuò shuǐ jīng gōng bān de jiàn zhù 。
“李兄难得来到我天巧门总坛，是否打算住上几天？”“呵呵，这是自然的，对于大雪山的风光，在下还未领略足，何况对于责派的一些同阶道友，在下也心慕已久。”林轩装作不经意的开口，薛巧云眉头却轻轻一皱，但很快又恢复如常了。“既然如此，就由妾身带林兄去贵宾楼。”“有劳仙子了。”林轩脸上满是感激之色。随后两人出了坊市，重新化作惊虹，很快，就来到几座水晶宫般的建筑。
She Qiaoyun's gaze swept over her, showing shock on her face. Ordinary late-stage Immortal Refiners were usually received by senior condensation core cultivators; who was this person that had even caused the grandmaster to attend.
nà shì yī dòng yī dòng xiǎo qiǎo de gé lóu ， měi lún měi huàn dào le jí chù ， měi yī dòng gé lóu wài miàn ， dōu yǒu zhe jìn zhì guāng mù 。 zhè zì rán jiù shì duì fāng kǒu zhōng de guì bīn lóu 。
那是一栋一栋小巧的阁楼，美仑美奂到了极处，每一栋阁楼外面，都有着禁制光幕。这自然就是对方口中的贵宾楼。
The girl was only at the foundation stage and could sense Lin Xuan's profound power but did not know his specific cultivation level, showing a mix of respect and awe on her face.
cháng lái mù míng lái tiān qiǎo mén de gāo jià xiū shì hěn duō ， zhè lǐ de gè zhǒng shè shī ， zì rán shì yī yīng jù quán de 。
常来慕名来天巧门的高价修士很多，这里的各种设施，自然是一应俱全的。
"La'er…" She Qiaoyun wanted to speak, but Lin Xuan waved his hand. "Lady She, I don't like being served; please let this young Daoist leave."
guāng mù dǎ kāi ， yī róng mào xiù lì de shào nǚ zǒu le chū lái ， kàn shàng qù ， bù guò shí qī bā suì nián jì ， yī zhāng wá wá liǎn ， jiāo hān kě ài 。“ jiàn guò shī zǔ ！”
光幕打开，一容貌秀丽的少女走了出来，看上去，不过十七八岁年纪，一张娃娃脸，娇憨可爱。“见过师祖！”
"Haha, Brother Li, if that is your wish, then so be it." Before she finished speaking, she tossed a command token at him: "There are many of our sect's executive disciples nearby. If you need anything, just tell them, and they will do their best with my token," said She Qiaoyun.
mù guāng zài xuē qiǎo yún shēn shàng sǎo guò ， shào nǚ de liǎn shàng mǎn shì zhèn jīng zhī sè ， yào zhī dào ， pǔ tōng de yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， běn mén dōu shì yóu níng dān qī zhǎng bèi jiē dài de ， cǐ rén shì shuí ， jū rán láo dòng le shī zǔ 。
目光在薛巧云身上扫过，少女的脸上满是震惊之色，要知道，普通的元婴期修仙者，本门都是由凝丹期长辈接待的，此人是谁，居然劳动了师祖。
"Thank you."
shào nǚ jǐn jǐn shì zhù jī qī ， zhǐ néng gǎn dào lín xuān shēn bù kě cè ， jù tǐ de jìng jiè ， què bìng bù qīng chǔ ， dàn liǎn shàng yǐ mǎn shì jìng wèi zhī sè 。
少女仅仅是筑基期，只能感到林轩深不可测，具体的境界，却并不清楚，但脸上已满是敬畏之色。
Lin Xuan took the token and scanned it with his divine sense to ensure there were no tricks. He then put it in his pocket without worry. He entered one of the pavilions, where he found luxurious furnishings. His bedroom had an jade bed, and Lin Xuan fell asleep soundly.
“ lán ér …”
“兰儿…”
Using nine million spiritual stones for three thousand mushrooms was not just a gesture; first, this item was indeed useful for protecting their sect, so the expenditure wasn't in vain.
xuē qiǎo yún zhèng yù kāi kǒu ， lín xuān què bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， zhè yàng de chǎng miàn tā jiàn duō le ：“ xuē xiān zi ， lǐ mǒu bù xǐ huān yǒu rén fú shì ，$$； ràng zhè wèi xiǎo dào yǒu lí qù jiù shì 。”
薛巧云正欲开口，林轩却摆了摆手，这样的场面他见多了：“薛仙子，李某不喜欢有人服侍，$$；让这位小道友离去就是。”
Second, based on his estimation, many late-stage Immortal Refiners visited Heavenly Clever Sect each year. While they might not be too many, it was still considerable given that there were twelve stages and a total number of cultivators.
“ hē hē ， lǐ xiōng jì rán zhè me shuō ， qiè shēn dāng rán shì xī tīng fēn fù 。” huà yīn wèi luò ， tā yǐ diū guò lái yī kuài lìng fú ：“ zài zhè fù jìn ， yǒu hěn duō běn mén de zhí shì dì zǐ ， lǐ xiōng ruò yǒu shēng mìng yāo qiú ， jǐn guǎn duì tā men shuō ， yǒu qiè shēn de lìng fú ， nà xiē dì zǐ zì rán huì jìn xīn jìn lì de 。“ duō j$\} le 。”
“呵呵，李兄既然这么说，妾身当然是悉听吩咐。”话音未落，她已丢过来一块令符：“在这附近，有很多本门的执事弟子，李兄若有生命要求，尽管对他们说，有妾身的令苻，那些弟子自然会尽心尽力的。“多j$\}了。”
Even among high-ranking cultivators, their abilities varied greatly, as did their wealth. The two items he wanted to buy—whether the Crystal Might Cannon or a late-stage Immortal Refiner puppet—were significant to Heavenly Clever Sect. If he didn't show his extraordinary financial power, they wouldn't pay him any attention.
lín xuān jiē guò lìng fú ， shén shí bù yì chá jué de yī sǎo ， shàng miàn bìng méi yǒu zuò shǒu jiǎo ， yú shì fàng xīn dà dǎn de shōu rù huái zhōng 。 suí hòu tā zǒu rù le gé lóu 。 lǐ miàn de bǎi shè huá guì ér shū fú 。 wò shì yǒu yī zhāng yù chuáng ， lín xuān dào zài qí shàng ， hū hū de dà shuì qǐ lái le 。
林轩接过令符，神识不易察觉的一扫，上面并没有做手脚，于是放心大胆的收入怀中。随后他走入了阁楼。里面的摆设华贵而舒服。卧室有一张玉床，林轩倒在其上，呼呼的大睡起来了。
She Qiaoyun was only at the early stage of late-stage Immortal Refiner and couldn't make decisions in such matters. If his guess was correct, she would now go find the real decision-makers. In other words, Lin Xuan's nine million spiritual stones were merely a start.
jīn tiān yòng jiǔ bǎi wàn jīng shí de dà shǒu bǐ ， mǎi xià sān qiān mù ěr ， lín xuān dāng rán shì yǒu zì jǐ de yòng yì ， yī lái ， zài běn pài fáng hù fāng miàn ， cǐ wù què shí dà yǒu yòng tú ， jīng shí bìng bù suàn bái huā de 。
今天用九百万晶石的大手笔，买下三千木耳，林轩当然是有自己的用意，一来，在本派防护方面，此物确实大有用途，晶石并不算白花的。
Although it is said that wealth should not be openly displayed, business required trust. Lin Xuan didn't worry about any potential harm from Heavenly Clever Sect.
èr lái ， zhào lín xuān gū jì ， yǐ tiān qiǎo mén ruò dà de míng tóu ， měi nián lái bài fǎng de yuán yīng hòu qī xiū shì ， suī rán bú huì tài duō ， dàn yě jué bú huì tài shǎo le 。 bì jìng yuán yīng hòu qī suī jìn jiē kùn nán ， dàn shí èr jiào jiā zài yì qǐ ， zǒng de shù liàng hái shì hěn kě guān 。 ér jí biàn tóng wèi dà xiū xiān zhě ， shén tōng yě yǒu qiáng yǒu ruò ， shēn jiā yě shì yī yàng de 。
二来，照林轩估计，以天巧门偌大的名头，每年来拜访的元婴后期修士，虽然不会太多，但也绝不会太少了。毕竟元婴后期虽进阶困难，但十二叫加在一起，总的数量还是很可观。而即便同为大修仙者，神通也有强有弱，身家也是一样的。
Moreover, his current cultivation level was comparable to the Separation stage, so even in their main hall, he had nothing to fear. Lin Xuan slept soundly and rested.
zì jǐ xiǎng mǎi de liǎng jiàn bǎo wù ， bù lùn jīng wēi pào ， hái shì yuán yīng jí bié kuǐ lěi ， duì yú tiān qiǎo mén ， dōu jù yǒu fēi fán yì yì ， zì jǐ rú guǒ bù xiǎn lù guò rén cái lì ， duì fāng gēn běn jiù bú huì lǐ cǎi zì jǐ 。
自己想买的两件宝物，不论晶威炮，还是元婴级别傀儡，对于天巧门，都具有非凡意义，自己如果不显露过人财力，对方根本就不会理睬自己。
On the other side, Tian Xiaojian's face was drenched with cold sweat as he observed the figure within the array. Various thoughts raced through his mind, but he couldn't determine if it was a person or a demon.
xuē qiǎo yún bù guò yuán yīng chū qī ， zài zhè yàng de shì qíng shàng ， yě bù liǎo zhǔ ， rú guǒ zì jǐ suǒ liào méi cuò ， tā xiàn zài huì qù zhǎo zhēn zhèng de zhǔ shì rén le 。 huàn jù huà shuō ， lín xuān zá xià zhè jiǔ bǎi wàn jīng shí ， bù guò shì pāo zhuān yǐn yù 。
薛巧云不过元婴初期，在这样的事情上，也不了主，如果自己所料没错，她现在会去找真正的主事人了。换句话说，林轩砸下这九百万晶石，不过是抛砖引玉。
However, one thing was certain: this individual was unfathomable. Despite being trapped in the array, Tian Xiaojian did not dare to escape.
suī rán sú huà shuō ， cái bù lù bái ， dàn zuò shēng yì gèng jiǎng jiū xìn qī ， lín xuān dào yě bù dān xīn ， tiān qiǎo mén huì duì zì jǐ bù lì 。
虽然俗话说，财不露白，但做生意更讲究信妻，林轩倒也不担心，天巧门会对自己不利。
Compared to his peers, Tian Xiaojian had deep scheming and rich experience with adventures. After some hesitation, he stepped forward and bowed towards the figure within the array. "I apologize, sir; I inadvertently entered here and disturbed your meditation. Please forgive me."
hé kuàng ， tā xiàn zài de xiū wèi ， yǐ kān bǐ lí hé ， jí shǐ zài duì fāng de zǒng duò ， yě gēn běn bù yòng hài pà shén me 。 lín xuān fàng xīn - dà dǎn de shuì jiào xiū xī le 。
何况，他现在的修为，已堪比离合，即使在对方的总舵，也根本不用害怕什么。林轩放心-大胆的睡觉休息了。
"Meditation? You know how to talk," the figure in the array said with a playful laugh.

另一边，看着阵法中的身影，田小剑冷汗淋漓，诸般念头在脑海中闪过，还是辨识不出对方是人还是妖魔。
Tian Xiaojian breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it was a woman. But he quickly became speechless as her voice turned rough and masculine: "Do you think you accidentally entered here? Wrong; I brought you here through great effort over eight hundred years. Wangting Lou, your lifespan should still be with us."
dàn yǒu yì diǎn shì kěn dìng de ， zhè jiā huo shēn bù kě cè ， tā suī bèi kuì yā zài fǎ zhèn zhī zhōng ， tián xiǎo jiàn yě sī háo bù gǎn táo zǒu 。
但有一点是肯定的，这家伙深不可测，他虽被馈压在法阵之中，田小剑也丝毫不敢逃走。
The rough man's voice and the self-proclaimed 'palace' made Tian Xiaojian shudder. He frowned, thinking, "Wangting Lou sounds familiar… Did I hear it before?"
yǔ tóng jiē xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， tián xiǎo jiàn xīn jī shēn chén ， yě yōng yǒu fēng fù de mào xiǎn jīng lì ， lüè yī chóu chú ， tā fǎn ér shàng qián yī bù ， chōng zhe nà zhèn fǎ zhōng de rén yǐng xíng le yī lǐ ：“ duì bù qǐ ， wǎn yáng shì wú yì chuǎng rù cǐ chù ， dǎ rǎo qián bèi jìng xiū le ， huán qīng shù zuì zé gè 。”
与同阶修士相比，田小剑心机深沉，也拥有丰富的冒险经历，略一踌躇，他反而上前一步，冲着那阵法中的人影行了一礼：“对不起，晚羊是无意闯入此处，打扰前辈静修了，还清恕罪则个。”
"May I know your name?" he asked cautiously.
“ jìng xiū ， xiǎo zi ， nǐ dǎo shì hěn huì shuō huà 。” nà zhèn fǎ zhōng de rén yǐng ， yǎn bō liú zhuǎn ， gē gē gē de jiāo xiào qǐ lái ， tián xiǎo jiàn sōng le kǒu qì ， yuán lái duì fāng shì nǚ zǐ ， kě hěn kuài ， tā yòu mù dèng kǒu dāi ， duì fāng de shēng yīn jū rán yòu biàn dé cū háo qǐ lái ， biàn xiàng yī lǔ mǎng de dà hàn ：“ nǐ yǐ wéi zì jǐ shì wú yì chuǎng rù de ma ， cuò ， shì běn gōng fèi jìn xīn jī ， hǎo bù róng yì jiāng nǐ yǐn lái ， bā bǎi nián le ， wàng tíng lóu ， yǐ nǐ de shòu yuán ， xiǎng bì hái huó zhe ， hē hē hē ……”
“静修，小子，你倒是很会说话。”那阵法中的人影，眼波流转，咯咯咯的娇笑起来，田小剑松了口气，原来对方是女子，可很快，他又目瞪口呆，对方的声音居然又变得粗豪起来，便像一鲁莽的大汉：“你以为自己是无意闯入的吗，错，是本宫费尽心机，好不容易将你引来，八百年了，望亭楼，以你的寿元，想必还活着，呵呵呵……”
"Fu Liang," said the figure.
yǐ yī cū háo nán zi de shēng yīn ， què zì chēng běn gōng ， tián xiǎo jiàn bù yóu de máo gǔ sǒng rán ， suí hòu méi tou yí zhòu ：“ wàng tíng lóu ， zhè ge míng zì yǒu diǎn shú ， hǎo xiàng céng jīng tīng shuō guò ……
以一粗豪男子的声音，却自称本宫，田小剑不由得毛骨悚然，随后眉头一皱：“望亭楼，这个名字有点熟，好像曾经听说过……
"Foolish mother?" Tian Xiaojian was stunned; that name was peculiar.
“ bù zhī qián bèi zūn xìng dà míng ？” tā xiǎo xīn yì yì de kāi kǒu le 。
“不知前辈尊姓大名？”他小心翼翼的开口了。
"It's Fu Liang." Seeing Tian Xiaojian's expression, the entity—whether human or demon—looked somewhat desolate. "It seems you haven't heard of me. Haha, time passes and changes; eight hundred years isn't short. In the old generation, anyone who reached late-stage Immortal Refiner would have known my name. But now, it's been long forgotten."
“ fēng liáng 。”
“风良。”
Tian Xiaojian frowned; the lifespan of a late-stage Immortal Refiner was only about a thousand years. Even geniuses rarely advanced before three hundred years. After eight centuries, unless he was at the Separation stage, he should be dust by now.
"Pay respect to the senior," said Old Yellow, though he was a valuer, he still dared not be careless when facing a late-stage Immortal Refiner.
Lin Xuan waved his hand. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, a patch of green clouds rolled over, and various treasures appeared before him. There were swords, halberds, spears, and more—dozens in total.
The origins of these treasures were unclear to Lin Xuan himself. Over the years, he had killed many cultivators, and none of their storage pouches escaped his notice. Accumulated over time, they amounted to a staggering number.
Of the items Lin Xuan selected, some were ancient treasures, while others were personal talismans crafted by late-stage Immortal Refiners. To him, they seemed like chicken feed, but to other cultivators, they were eye-catching and heart-warming. Seeing so many treasures, both She Qiaoyun and Old Yellow were startled.
It was well-known that crafting a treasure was no easy task; some condensation core cultivators spent their entire lives trying to create even one decent treasure.
Moreover, these treasures, whether in terms of spiritual light or color, were extraordinary. Clearly, they belonged to the rare and exceptional category among treasures.
She Qiaoyun's eyes showed astonishment. She knew that not all of these treasures were crafted by Lin Xuan himself; many still had their personal marks on them, indicating that they were obtained through murder and plunder.
With this thought, she looked at Lin Xuan with a touch of reverence in her gaze, silently musing to herself: These late-stage Immortal Refiners are truly unfathomable.
"Thirty-five thousand," Lin Xuan nodded, agreeing to the price after Old Yellow offered an additional five thousand spiritual stones. This was already quite reasonable.
Seeing this, Old Yellow breathed a sigh of relief and took out another golden pen. In half an hour, they had appraised all thirty-four treasures. "Senior, your total is nine million spiritual stones," said She Qiaoyun.
"Nine million?" Lin Xuan was taken aback; She Qiaoyun, who was drinking water nearby, almost choked on her drink.
This was indeed a coincidence. When Lin Xuan presented these treasures, he had not carefully assessed their value, estimating they were worth around seven to eight million spiritual stones. He even planned to add some more. But it turned out that the exact amount was just enough to buy three thousand mushrooms.
The transaction concluded in a joyful atmosphere. She Qiaoyun then led Lin Xuan through several shops, but there was nothing else that caught his eye. The sky grew dark as they walked.
Lin Xuan did not know what he intended by avoiding the topic of late-stage Immortal Refiner puppets and Crystal Might Cannons all day. She Qiaoyun seemed to have forgotten about them too, their interactions were cordial on the surface but strained beneath.
"Brother Li, it's rare for you to visit our main hall; do you plan to stay a few days?" "Haha, of course. I haven't fully appreciated the grandeur of the Great Snow Mountain yet, and I've long admired some fellow Daoists at your sect," Lin Xuan said casually.
She Qiaoyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly but quickly returned to normal. "Since that is so, let me take Brother Lin to the VIP pavilion."
"Thank you for your trouble." Lin Xuan expressed his gratitude. They left the market and transformed into a streak of light, arriving at several crystal palaces.
These were small, elegant pavilions with formidable restrictions around them. These were indeed what they called the VIP pavilions.
Many high-ranking cultivators came to visit or admire the reputation of Heavenly Clever Sect. The facilities here were complete.
The restriction screen opened, and a beautiful young girl stepped out. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a round face that was both cute and adorable. "Greetings, Grandmaster!"
She Qiaoyun's gaze swept over her, showing shock on her face. Ordinary late-stage Immortal Refiners were usually received by senior condensation core cultivators; who was this person that had even caused the grandmaster to attend.
The girl was only at the foundation stage and could sense Lin Xuan's profound power but did not know his specific cultivation level, showing a mix of respect and awe on her face.
"La'er…" She Qiaoyun wanted to speak, but Lin Xuan waved his hand. "Lady She, I don't like being served; please let this young Daoist leave."
"Haha, Brother Li, if that is your wish, then so be it." Before she finished speaking, she tossed a command token at him: "There are many of our sect's executive disciples nearby. If you need anything, just tell them, and they will do their best with my token," said She Qiaoyun.
"Thank you."
Lin Xuan took the token and scanned it with his divine sense to ensure there were no tricks. He then put it in his pocket without worry. He entered one of the pavilions, where he found luxurious furnishings. His bedroom had an jade bed, and Lin Xuan fell asleep soundly.
Using nine million spiritual stones for three thousand mushrooms was not just a gesture; first, this item was indeed useful for protecting their sect, so the expenditure wasn't in vain.
Second, based on his estimation, many late-stage Immortal Refiners visited Heavenly Clever Sect each year. While they might not be too many, it was still considerable given that there were twelve stages and a total number of cultivators.
Even among high-ranking cultivators, their abilities varied greatly, as did their wealth. The two items he wanted to buy—whether the Crystal Might Cannon or a late-stage Immortal Refiner puppet—were significant to Heavenly Clever Sect. If he didn't show his extraordinary financial power, they wouldn't pay him any attention.
She Qiaoyun was only at the early stage of late-stage Immortal Refiner and couldn't make decisions in such matters. If his guess was correct, she would now go find the real decision-makers. In other words, Lin Xuan's nine million spiritual stones were merely a start.
Although it is said that wealth should not be openly displayed, business required trust. Lin Xuan didn't worry about any potential harm from Heavenly Clever Sect.
Moreover, his current cultivation level was comparable to the Separation stage, so even in their main hall, he had nothing to fear. Lin Xuan slept soundly and rested.
On the other side, Tian Xiaojian's face was drenched with cold sweat as he observed the figure within the array. Various thoughts raced through his mind, but he couldn't determine if it was a person or a demon.
However, one thing was certain: this individual was unfathomable. Despite being trapped in the array, Tian Xiaojian did not dare to escape.
Compared to his peers, Tian Xiaojian had deep scheming and rich experience with adventures. After some hesitation, he stepped forward and bowed towards the figure within the array. "I apologize, sir; I inadvertently entered here and disturbed your meditation. Please forgive me."
"Meditation? You know how to talk," the figure in the array said with a playful laugh.
Tian Xiaojian breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it was a woman. But he quickly became speechless as her voice turned rough and masculine: "Do you think you accidentally entered here? Wrong; I brought you here through great effort over eight hundred years. Wangting Lou, your lifespan should still be with us."
The rough man's voice and the self-proclaimed 'palace' made Tian Xiaojian shudder. He frowned, thinking, "Wangting Lou sounds familiar… Did I hear it before?"
"May I know your name?" he asked cautiously.
"Fu Liang," said the figure.
"Foolish mother?" Tian Xiaojian was stunned; that name was peculiar.
