Snow Crystal Pavilion.
kàn zhe lín xuān ná chū lái de sān jiàn bǎo wù ■， jí biàn yǐ tiān qiǎo mén dà zhǎng lǎo de chéng fǔ ， liǎn shàng yě mǎn shì xǐ yuè bù jīn zhī sè ， ài bù shì shǒu de bǎ wán zhe 。 lín xuān yě bù cuī cù ， zài yī biān pǐn chá ， zhuō shàng guā guǒ de wèi dào yě hěn bú cuò 。 zhuǎn yǎn ， guò qù le yī zhù xiāng de gōng fu 。” lǐ dào yǒu ， zhè sān jiàn zhàn jiǎ lǎo fū hěn mǎn yì ， nǐ xiǎng cóng běn mén huàn qǔ shén me dōng xī ？
看着林轩拿出来的三件宝物■，即便以天巧门大长老的城府，脸上也满是喜悦不禁之色，爱不释手的把玩着。林轩也不催促，在一边品茶，桌上瓜果的味道也很不错。转眼，过去了一炷香的功夫。”李道友，这三件战甲老夫很满意，你想从本门换取什么东西？
Lin Xuan took out three precious treasures. Even Master Elder Tianqiao's composure couldn't hide his joy, as he handled them with care and delight. Lin Xuan did not urge him; instead, he sipped tea while the fruits on the table were quite tasty. In a moment, it had been over an incense stick’s worth of time.
“ dào yǒu kuài rén kuài yǔ ， nà lǐ mǒu yě bù jiǎo qíng ， wǒ yào shí jù yuán yīng qī kuǐ lěi ， lǐ miàn zhì shǎo yǒu liǎng jù ， shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū wèi ， lìng wài jīng wēi pào wǒ yào yì bǎi zūn ， dà bù fèn kě yǐ shì xià pǐn ， dàn zhōng pǐn yǔ shàng pǐn de dé gè yǒu shí zūn 。” lín xuān lüè yī sī suǒ ， huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu le 。
“道友快人快语，那李某也不矫情，我要十具元婴期傀儡，里面至少有两具，是元婴中期的修为，另外晶威炮我要一百尊，大部分可以是下品，但中品与上品的得各有十尊。”林轩略一思索，缓缓的开口了。
"Friend Daoist, I am very satisfied with these three sets of armor. What do you wish to exchange from our sect?" Li Daoyou said quickly.
“ shén me ， zhè me duō ， lǐ xiōng mò fēi zài kāi wán xiào ！” mò xuě sōng tīng le lín xuān de huà ， xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu liǎn sè yīn chén xià lái ， sān tào wán zhěng de zhàn jiǎ ， duì yú tiān qiǎo mén ， yì yì què shí fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér duì fāng tí chū lái de tiáo jiàn ， wèi miǎn yě tài shī zi dà kāi kǒu le 。 shuō é zhà dōu bù wèi guò 。 tā dāng zì jǐ shì shǎ guā me ？“ lǐ xiōng ， gé xià yě shì yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jì rán xiǎng yào jiāo yì ， jiù qǐng duō shǎo ná chū yì diǎn chéng yì 。” mò xuě sōng yī zì yī dùn de shuō 。
“什么，这么多，李兄莫非在开玩笑！”莫雪松听了林轩的话，先是一呆，随后脸色阴沉下来，三套完整的战甲，对于天巧门，意义确实非同小可，然而对方提出来的条件，未免也太狮子大开口了。说讹诈都不为过。他当自己是傻瓜么？“李兄，阁下也是元婴后期的修仙者，既然想要交易，就请多少拿出一点诚意。”莫雪松一字一顿的说。
Lin Xuan did not take offense but simply reached out and took out a jade cylinder from his waistband. "Daoyi Friend, don’t be in such a hurry. I came all this way for a reason; it’s not just for your amusement. Three sets of armor are not enough, but if you add the ancient method of forging armor..." Lin Xuan spoke confidently with a satisfied smile on his face.
lín xuān tīng le ， què bù yǐ wéi wǔ ， yě bú duì zì jǐ de xíng wéi fēn biàn shén me ， ér shì shēn shǒu yī pāi ， cóng yāo jiān qǔ chū le yī yù sì jiǎn 。
林轩听了，却不以为忤，也不对自己的行为分辨什么，而是伸手一拍，从腰间取出了一玉笥简。
"What? So many... Brother Li, aren’t you making fun of me!" Mo Xuesong was stunned when he heard Lin Xuan’s request. Three complete sets of armor were indeed significant for Tianqiao Sect, but the conditions seemed too extravagant. It was almost like extortion. "Brother Li, you are an advanced-stage Immortal, so if you wish to trade, please show a bit more sincerity."
“ mò dào yǒu bié jí ， zài xià bù yuǎn qiān lǐ ， lái dào guì pài ， zì rán bú huì shì wèi le xiāo qiǎn dào yǒu ， sān tào zhàn jiǎ bù gòu ， dàn rú guǒ zài jiā shàng yī piān shàng gǔ zhàn jiǎ de liàn zhì zhī fǎ 。” lín xuān xiōng yǒu chéng zhú de kāi kǒu le ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì zhì dé yì mǎn de xiào róng 。“ shén me ， gǔ zhàn jiǎ liàn zhì zhī fǎ ， mò fēi lǐ xiōng xiàn de nà ge gǔ xiū shì yí zhǐ ……”
“莫道友别急，在下不远千里，来到贵派，自然不会是为了消遣道友，三套战甲不够，但如果再加上一篇上古战甲的炼制之法。”林轩胸有成竹的开口了，脸上满是志得意满的笑容。“什么，古战甲炼制之法，莫非李兄现的那个古修士遗址……”
Lin Xuan did not take offense; instead, he said, "Mo Daoyi, I have come from afar with good intentions and won’t waste your time for nothing. Three sets of armor aren’t enough, but add the ancient method of forging armor, and you’ll see if that’s still too much." Mo Xuesong was taken aback as Lin Xuan touched his chin, revealing a sly smile.
“ bù cuò ， lǐ mǒu yùn qì bù cuò ， nà wèi qián bèi ， zài shàng gǔ zhī shí ， shì yī wèi pǒ yǒu míng qì de liàn jiǎ shī ， zài tā de dòng fǔ lǐ ， wǒ bù jǐn dé dào le sān tào zhàn jiǎ ， ér qiě hái yǒu yī piān wán zhěng de liàn jiǎ xīn dé ， duì yú zhè xiē zá xué ， lǐ mǒu méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， dàn guì pài kě jiù bù yí yàng le ， jiā shàng zhè piān xīn dé ， wǒ gāng cái tí chū de jiāo huàn tiáo jiàn ， dào yǒu jué de hái shì shī zi dà kāi kǒu me ？” lín xuān mō le mō xià bā ， yǒu diǎn jiān huá de shuō 。“ liàn jiǎ xīn dé ？”
“不错，李某运气不错，那位前辈，在上古之时，是一位颇有名气的炼甲师，在他的洞府里，我不仅得到了三套战甲，而且还有一篇完整的炼甲心得，对于这些杂学，李某没有用处，但贵派可就不一样了，加上这篇心得，我刚才提出的交换条件，道友觉得还是狮子大开口么？”林轩摸了摸下巴，有点奸猾的说。“炼甲心得？”
"Indeed, this is an ancient method of forging armor. I agree to your terms," Mo Xuesong said with regret. Ten advanced-stage puppet souls and over a hundred Crystal Power Cannons were indeed a hefty sum for Tianqiao Sect. This was a heavy blow. However, he had no choice but to agree.
jǐn guǎn xīn zhōng yǒu qǐng cè ， rán ér tīng lín xuān qīn kǒu zhè me shuō ， mò xuě sōng de liǎn shàng ， hái shì lù chū le dà xǐ guò wàng zhī sè ， jī hū shì yī bǎ qiǎng guò yù tǒng ， jiāng shén shí zhù rù qí zhōng 。 yí gè gè dòu dà de wén zì fú xiàn zài nǎo hǎi zhōng ……
尽管心中有请测，然而听林轩亲口这么说，莫雪松的脸上，还是露出了大喜过望之色，几乎是一把抢过玉筒，将神识注入其中。一个个斗大的文字浮现在脑海中……
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; missing it would mean losing everything. While the three sets of armor were valuable, recreating ancient armor techniques from them alone seemed unlikely. After all, every art in cultivation required years of refinement and experience. But with the notes left by an ancient armor forger, things could be different...
kě xī jǐn yǒu liáo liáo shù bǎi yán ， hòu miàn de bù fèn ， lín xuān méi yǒu jìn fǎ ， xiū shì dōu yǒu guò mù nán wàng zhī néng ， zài duì fāng tóng yì jiāo jiē yǐ qián ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì shǎ shǎ de gěi tā kàn quán piān 。
可惜仅有寥寥数百言，后面的部分，林轩没有禁法，修士都有过目难忘之能，在对方同意交接以前，林轩当然不会傻傻的给他看全篇。
Although he was now outsmarted, Lin Xuan had his own plans. With ten advanced-stage puppet souls, Baixuan Pavilion’s strength would increase significantly. The Crystal Power Cannons placed in the main hall, combined with the sect’s protective array, would make it impenetrable. As for what he was giving away...
mò xuě sōng bù jǐn shì yuán yīng qī dǐng fēng de xiū xiān biǎo ， ér qiě hái shì gāo míng de liàn qì dà shī ， chù lèi páng tōng ， duì yú zhàn jiǎ shù ， zì rán yě yǒu xīn dé ， suī rán shuō bù shàng jīng tōng ， dàn shì zhēn shì jiǎ ， què néng yī yǎn biàn shí gé 。
莫雪松不仅是元婴期顶峰的修仙表，而且还是高明的炼器大师，触类旁通，对于战甲术，自然也有心得，虽然说不上精通，但是真是假，却能一眼辨识格。
The three sets of armor were merely practice pieces compared to the Green Flame Qilin Armor. They were just a waste.
hěn kuài ， tā jiù tái qǐ tóu ， liǎn shàng kuáng rè zhī sè yī shǎn ér guò ：“ bù cuò ， zhè què shí shì shàng gǔ de liàn jiǎ shù ， dào yǒu de yāo qiú ， lǎo fū …… dā yìng le 。” shuō zhè huà de shí hòu ， mò xuě sōng yī zhèn xīn téng ， shí jù yuán yīng qī kuǐ lěi ， shàng bǎi zūn jīng xū pào ， jí biàn yǐ tiān qiǎo mén de cái lì ， yě shì jué duì de dà shǒu bǐ ， zhè zhú gàng ， bèi qiāo dé hǎo hěn 。 kě bù dā yìng hái bù xíng 。
很快，他就抬起头，脸上狂热之色一闪而过：“不错，这确实是上古的炼甲术，道友的要求，老夫……答应了。”说这话的时候，莫雪松一阵心疼，十具元婴期傀儡，上百尊晶戌炮，即便以天巧门的财力，也是绝对的大手笔，这竹杠，被敲得好狠。可不答应还不行。
As for the method of forging armor within the jade cylinder? It couldn’t possibly be the original version; Lin Xuan had written it himself. The content only covered basic theories, with very few advanced techniques. While Tianqiao Sect could indeed forge armor using these principles, they would not produce anything superior. In short, there was no threat to him.
bì jìng shì qiān zǎi nán féng de jī huì ， guò le zhè ge cūn ， jiù méi yǒu zhè ge diàn le ， sān tào wán zhěng de zhàn jiǎ ， suī yě yǒu yán jiū jià zhí ， dàn xiǎng yào píng zhè ge ， chóng xiàn shàng gǔ shí qī de zhàn jiǎ shù ， hái shì shí fēn miǎo máng de 。 bì jìng xiū xiān bǎi yì ， měi yī yàng zá xué ， dōu shì jīng guò qiān chuí bǎi liàn ， wú shù suì yuè chén jī ， xiǎng yào yí cù ér jiù ， gēn běn jiù shì shē bù kě néng de 。 dàn yǒu shàng gǔ liàn jiǎ shī liú xià lái de xīn dé bǐ jì ， qíng kuàng jiù wán quán bù tóng …… xiān yán jiū chuǎi mó ， rán hòu yǐ tiān qiǎo mén de shí lì ， zú yǐ jiāng gǔ yáng guāng dà 。
毕竟是千载难逢的机会，过了这个村，就没有这个店了，三套完整的战甲，虽也有研究价值，但想要凭这个，重现上古时期的战甲术，还是十分渺茫的。毕竟修仙百艺，每一样杂学，都是经过千锤百炼，无数岁月沉积，想要一蹴而就，根本就是奢不可能的。但有上古炼甲师留下来的心得笔记，情况就完全不同……先研究揣摩，然后以天巧门的实力，足以将牯扬光大。
Still, as one of the seven major forces, Tianqiao Sect had countless wise individuals who might take a few thousand years to rediscover and perfect the technique. But by then, Lin Xuan would already have ascended to the Spirit Realm. He always planned meticulously before acting, targeting the sect’s weaknesses, and this move was indeed effective.
xiàn zài suī rán bèi qiāo le zhú gàng ， dàn yǎn guāng yào fàng cháng yuǎn ， cóng wèi lái kàn ， zhè bǐ mǎi mài ， jué duì huá de lái 。
现在虽然被敲了竹杠，但眼光要放长远，从未来看，这笔买卖，绝对划得来。
"Although I agreed to your exchange terms, I must admit that you also made a hefty request. Puppet souls are fine, but over a hundred Crystal Power Cannons will take some time for our sect to allocate," Mo Xuesong said helplessly. "Three days?"
mò xuě sōng nǎo hǎi lǐ zhuǎn zhe niàn tou ， yǔ lín xuān de xīn zhōng ， dāng rán yě yǒu zì jǐ de xiǎo jiǔ jiǔ 。
莫雪松脑海里转着念头，雨林轩的心中，当然也有自己的小九九。
"Exactly, three days."
tā kě shì zhǐ zhàn pián yí bù chī kuī de zhǔ ér ， fǒu zé yě bú huì shī zi dà kāi kǒu le ， yǒu le shí jù yuán yīng qī kuǐ lěi ， bài xuān gé de shí lì ， zì rán huì bào zhǎng yī dà jiǎn 。 shàng bǎi zūn jīng wēi pào fàng zài zǒng tán ， yǔ hù pài dà zhèn xiāng pèi hé ， gèng shì gù ruò jīn tāng 。 zhì yú zì jǐ ná chū qù jiāo huàn de dōng xī 。
他可是只占便宜不吃亏的主儿，否则也不会狮子大开口了，有了十具元婴期傀儡，拜轩阁的实力，自然会暴涨一大戬。上百尊晶威炮放在总坛，与护派大阵相配合，更是固若金汤。至于自己拿出去交换的东西。
"If it’s just this much time, I have no problem. I’ll go back now and let you know once I hear anything." Lin Xuan nodded in agreement after a moment of thought.
nà sān tào zhàn jiǎ ， bù guò shì wèi le tí gāo jì néng de liàn shǒu zuò ， yǔ bì yàn qí lín jiǎ xiāng bǐ ， chà le bù zhǐ yí gè děng jí 。
那三套战甲，不过是为了提高技能的练手作，与碧焰麒麟甲相比，差了不只一个等级。
"Alright then, Daoyi, there’s no need for me to see you off. You don’t have to stay at the VIP lounge; if you’re interested, feel free to explore. Just avoid our forbidden areas, and we’ll treat you warmly," Mo Xuesong said with a smile as he stood up.
jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì jī lèi ， ná chū qù jiāo huàn ， bù guò shì fèi wù lì yòng ér yǐ 。
简单的说，就是鸡肋，拿出去交换，不过是废物利用而已。
Lin Xuan bowed and then emitted a bright green light, transforming into a streak of lightning that shot out from the entrance.
zhì yú yù tǒng zhōng de liàn jiǎ shù ， dāng rán yě jué bù kě néng shì yuán bǎn de 。
至于玉筒中的炼甲术，当然也绝不可能是原版的。
Mo Xuesong’s smile slowly faded as a cold expression appeared on his face. A rumbling sound entered his ears; in the distant mountain wall, there was a cave where a young woman emerged.
nǎi shì lín xuān zì jǐ suǒ xiě 。
乃是林轩自己所写。
She wore a green dress and looked no more than twenty years old, with a beautiful appearance and formidable spiritual pressure, making her an advanced-stage Immortal.
lǐ miàn suǒ jì zǎi de nèi róng ， bù guò shì zì jǐ dé dào de nà liàn jiǎ shù de pí máo ér yǐ 。
里面所记载的内容，不过是自己得到的那炼甲术的皮毛而已。
"Lord, are you really going to exchange ten puppet souls and over a hundred Crystal Power Cannons for that?" The woman frowned when she appeared, clearly disapproving of the deal. "Xin Sister, Brother Li also doesn’t want to do it, but we must get this method," Mo Xuesong shook his head, visibly in pain.
lǐ miàn zhǐ yǒu yī xiē zuì jī běn de lǐ lùn chǎn shù ， gāo shēn de dōng xī liáo liáo wú jǐ ， kào zhè ge dōng xī ， tiān qiǎo mén què shí néng gòu liàn zhì chū zhàn jiǎ ， dàn jué bú shì shén me hǎo dōng xī 。 zǒng zhī yī jù huà ， wēi xié bú dào zì jǐ 。
里面只有一些最基本的理论阐述，高深的东西寥寥无几，靠这个东西，天巧门确实能够炼制出战甲，但绝不是什么好东西。总之一句话，威胁不到自己。
"I understand your brother’s intentions, but why exchange? He is alone; why not..." The woman released a terrifying aura as she spoke, though her words were incomplete, the meaning was clear.
dāng rán ， zuò wèi qī dà shì lì zhī yī ， tiān qiǎo mén de cái zhì zhī shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， rú guǒ huā gè jǐ qiān shàng wàn nián yán jiū ， shí yǒu ** yě néng yǐ zhè xiē lǐ lùn zuò jī chǔ ， chóng xīn jiāng zhàn jiǎ shù yáng guāng dà 。 bù guò děng dào pī - shí hòu ， zì jǐ zǎo jiù fēi shēng dào líng jiè qù le 。 lín xuān zuò shì qíng ， xiàng lái móu dìng ér hòu dòng ， kàn zhòng tiān qiǎo mén de ruǎn lèi chū shǒu ， guǒ rán yī jī bì zhōng 。
当然，做为七大势力之一，天巧门的才智之士数不胜数，如果花个几千上万年研究，十有**也能以这些理论做基础，重新将战甲术扬光大。不过等到邳-时候，自己早就飞升到灵界去了。林轩做事情，向来谋定而后动，看中天巧门的软肋出手，果然一击必中。
"Absolutely not!" Mo Xuesong shook his head and rejected his companion's suggestion. "Although seizing treasure is common in cultivation, this situation is different. We must maintain basic integrity when doing business. If someone comes to our sect for a trade and we kill them and take their goods, if the news leaks out, it will damage our reputation. Such suggestions are not to be considered."
“ lǎo fū suī rán dā yìng le dào yǒu de jiāo huàn tiáo jiàn ， bù guò píng xīn lái shuō ， gé xià yě shī zi dà kāi kǒu le yì diǎn ， kuǐ lěi hái hǎo shuō ， shàng bǎi zūn jīng wēi pào ， běn mén yě xū yào yí dìng shí jiān diào pèi de ， zhè yàng ， dào yǒu jiù zài běn mén děng shàng sān rì rú hé ？” mò xuě sōng yáo le yáo tóu ， yǒu diǎn wú nài de shuō 。 sān tiān ？”“ bù cuò ， jiù sān tiān 。”
“老夫虽然答应了道友的交换条件，不过平心来说，阁下也狮子大开口了一点，傀儡还好说，上百尊晶威炮，本门也需要一定时间调配的，这样，道友就在本门等上三日如何？”莫雪松摇了摇头，有点无奈的说。三天？”“不错，就三天。”
"Besides..."
“ rú guǒ zhè shì zhè diǎn shí jiān de huà ， lǐ mǒu zì rán méi yǒu wèn tí ， nà wǒ jiù xiān huí qù ， yí dàn yǒu le xiāo xī ， dào yǒu ràng rén tōng zhī wǒ jí kě 。” lín xuān lüè yī sī suǒ ， jiù diǎn diǎn tóu biǎo shì tóng yì le 。
“如果这是这点时间的话，李某自然没有问题，那我就先回去，一旦有了消息，道友让人通知我即可。”林轩略一思索，就点点头表示同意了。
"What besides?"
“ hǎo ， nà jiù shù mò mǒu bù yuǎn sòng le ， dào yǒu yě bù yí dìng yào dài zài guì bīn lóu ， rú guǒ yǒu xìng qù ， kě yǐ sì chù guàng guàng ， zhǐ yào bù tà zú běn mén de jǐ gè jìn dì ， wǒ men yí dìng huì rè qíng zhāo dài dì 。” mò xuě sōng yě zhàn le qǐ lái ， mǎn liǎn hán xiào de shuō 。 lín xuān yī bào quán ， suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng cóng rù kǒu fēi shè chū qù 。
“好，那就恕莫某不远送了，道友也不一定要待在贵宾楼，如果有兴趣，可以四处逛逛，只要不踏足本门的几个禁地，我们一定会热情招待地。”莫雪松也站了起来，满脸含笑的说。林轩一抱拳，随后浑身青芒大起，化为一道惊虹从入口飞射出去。
"Even though he’s an advanced-stage cultivator, his actions were too extravagant. He bought mushrooms with nine million crystals without batting an eye. Such a person claims to be a wandering cultivator; do you believe that, Sister?" Mo Xuesong hesitated before carefully explaining his feelings.
wàng zhe lín xuān de bèi yǐng xiāo shī ， mò xuě sōng liǎn shàng de xiào róng màn màn shōu qǐ ， zuǐ jiǎo biān yǐn yǐn lù chū jǐ fēn hán yì 。
望着林轩的背影消失，莫雪松脸上的笑容慢慢收起，嘴角边隐隐露出几分寒意。
"It can’t be true. You are already at the peak of the Immortal stage and our sect’s chief elder. Your cultivation techniques far surpass those of ordinary high-stage cultivators," the woman said in disbelief. "I’m not sure either; it might just be a misperception, but this Li fellow is definitely formidable. The idea that he’s a wandering cultivator is absurd. We’d better not entertain any other thoughts."
hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zài yuǎn chù de shān bì shàng ， jū rán yǒu yí gè dòng fǔ 「 yī miào líng nǚ zǐ cóng lǐ miàn zǒu chū lái le 。
轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，在远处的山壁上，居然有一个洞府「一妙龄女子从里面走出来了。
In Tianzhou, the Demon Domain Mountains, an old monster named Feng Liang was recounting a love-hate story from eight hundred years ago to Xiao Jian.
cǐ nǚ shēn chuān lǜ yī ， kàn shàng qù bù guò èr shí yǒu yú ， róng yán xiù lì ， yī shēn líng yā yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jū rán shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
此女身穿绿衣，看上去不过二十有余，容颜秀丽，一身灵压也非同小可，居然是元婴中期的修仙者。
The matter wasn’t complicated; it involved three people at the Separation Stage, making it quite dramatic.
“ fū jūn ， nǐ zhēn dǎ suàn yòng shí jù yuán yīng qī kuǐ lěi yǔ bǎi zūn jīng wēi pào yǔ duì fāng jiāo huàn ？” nǚ zǐ xiàn shēn yǐ hòu ， lì kè xiù méi wēi zhòu de kāi kǒu ， qiào liǎn shàng mǎn shì bù yǐ wéi rán zhī sè ， bì jìng zhè jiāo huàn de dài jià yě tài dà le 。“ xīn mèi ， wèi xiōng yòu hé cháng shě de ， bù guò zhè liàn jiǎ shù yí dìng yào de dào 。” mò xuě sōng yáo le yáo tóu ， mǎn liǎn ròu téng de shuō 。
“夫君，你真打算用十具元婴期傀儡与百尊晶威炮与对方交换？”女子现身以后，立刻秀眉微皱的开口，俏脸上满是不以为然之色，毕竟这交换的代价也太大了。“馨妹，为兄又何尝舍得，不过这炼甲术一定要得到。”莫雪松摇了摇头，满脸肉疼的说。
Feng Liang and Wangtinglou were evenly matched in terms of cultivation techniques and power. The outcome was uncertain until Meng Rumei joined.
“ shī xiōng de yì si wǒ qīng chǔ ， dàn hé bì yí dìng yào jiāo huàn ne ， duì fāng gū jiā guǎ rén yí gè ， wǒ men hé bù ……” nǚ zǐ shuō dào zhè lǐ ， shēn shàng yǐn yǐn shì fàng chū kě pà de shā qì ， huà suī méi yǒu jiǎng wán ， dàn yì si yǐ jīng hěn míng xiǎn 。
“师兄的意思我清楚，但何必一定要交换呢，对方孤家寡人一个，我们何不……”女子说到这里，身上隐隐释放出可怕的杀气，话虽没有讲完，但意思已经很明显。
However, Feng Liang’s character was extremely peculiar. If he left, he would let Wangtinglou save the beauty, and he wouldn’t be able to enjoy her himself. Such a scenario was unacceptable to him.
“ bù kě ！” mò xuě sōng què yáo le yáo tóu ， yī kǒu jiāng dào lǚ tí chū de jiàn yì fǒu le ：“ suī rán měi rén qiǎng bǎo zài xiū xiān jiè shì shǔ xún cháng ， dàn zhè cì de qíng kuàng bù yí yàng ， zuò shēng yì ， zǒng yào yǒu jī běn de xìn yù ， duì fāng lái dào běn mén zǒng néng ， wǒ men què shā qí rén ， duó qí wù ， rú guǒ yí dàn xiāo xī zǒu lòu ， běn mén jiàng wēi xìn sǎo dì ， zhè yàng de jiàn yì jué bù kě zài tí ， hé kuàng ……”
“不可！”莫雪松却摇了摇头，一口将道侣提出的建议否了：“虽然每人抢宝在修仙界事属寻常，但这次的情况不一样，做生意，总要有基本的信誉，对方来到本门总能，我们却杀其人，夺其物，如果一旦消息走漏，本门将威信扫地，这样的建议绝不可再提，何况……”
Rather than break, he chose to shatter. He used all his abilities without targeting Wangtinglou, who was of the same stage.
“ hé kuàng shén me ？”
“何况什么？”
He inflicted severe damage, even taking a hit from Wangtinglou that left him severely injured and bleeding profusely. He killed Meng Rumei with a sword before she could escape, reducing her to dust with his法宝.
“ duì fāng suī shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， dàn chū shǒu yě wèi miǎn tài guò kuò chuò ， jiǔ bǎi wàn jīng shí mǎi xià mù ěr ， lián yǎn pí dōu méi yǒu zhǎ yī xià ， zhè yàng de rén ， shuō zì jǐ shì sàn xiū ， shī mèi nǐ xiāng xìn me ， ér qiě ， bù zhī dào wèi shén me ， zài miàn duì tā de shí hòu ， wǒ yǐn yǐn yǒu yī zhǒng gǎn jué ， duì fāng sì hū fēi cháng kě pà ……” mò xuě sōng lüè yī chí yí ， zhēn zì zhuó jù de shuō chū le zì jǐ de gǎn shòu 。
“对方虽是元婴后期的大修仙者，但出手也未免太过阔绰，九百万晶石买下木耳，连眼皮都没有眨一下，这样的人，说自己是散修，师妹你相信么，而且，不知道为什么，在面对他的时候，我隐隐有一种感觉，对方似乎非常可怕……”莫雪松略一迟疑，斟字酌句的说出了自己的感受。
Xiao Jian couldn’t help swallowing as he heard this. "Senior, if you say so, then Meng Rouyan’s sister must have perished at your hands."
Snow Crystal Pavilion.
Lin Xuan took out three precious treasures. Even Master Elder Tianqiao's composure couldn't hide his joy, as he handled them with care and delight. Lin Xuan did not urge him; instead, he sipped tea while the fruits on the table were quite tasty. In a moment, it had been over an incense stick’s worth of time.
"Friend Daoist, I am very satisfied with these three sets of armor. What do you wish to exchange from our sect?" Li Daoyou said quickly.
Lin Xuan did not take offense but simply reached out and took out a jade cylinder from his waistband. "Daoyi Friend, don’t be in such a hurry. I came all this way for a reason; it’s not just for your amusement. Three sets of armor are not enough, but if you add the ancient method of forging armor..." Lin Xuan spoke confidently with a satisfied smile on his face.
"What? So many... Brother Li, aren’t you making fun of me!" Mo Xuesong was stunned when he heard Lin Xuan’s request. Three complete sets of armor were indeed significant for Tianqiao Sect, but the conditions seemed too extravagant. It was almost like extortion. "Brother Li, you are an advanced-stage Immortal, so if you wish to trade, please show a bit more sincerity."
Lin Xuan did not take offense; instead, he said, "Mo Daoyi, I have come from afar with good intentions and won’t waste your time for nothing. Three sets of armor aren’t enough, but add the ancient method of forging armor, and you’ll see if that’s still too much." Mo Xuesong was taken aback as Lin Xuan touched his chin, revealing a sly smile.
"Indeed, this is an ancient method of forging armor. I agree to your terms," Mo Xuesong said with regret. Ten advanced-stage puppet souls and over a hundred Crystal Power Cannons were indeed a hefty sum for Tianqiao Sect. This was a heavy blow. However, he had no choice but to agree.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; missing it would mean losing everything. While the three sets of armor were valuable, recreating ancient armor techniques from them alone seemed unlikely. After all, every art in cultivation required years of refinement and experience. But with the notes left by an ancient armor forger, things could be different...
Although he was now outsmarted, Lin Xuan had his own plans. With ten advanced-stage puppet souls, Baixuan Pavilion’s strength would increase significantly. The Crystal Power Cannons placed in the main hall, combined with the sect’s protective array, would make it impenetrable. As for what he was giving away...
The three sets of armor were merely practice pieces compared to the Green Flame Qilin Armor. They were just a waste.
As for the method of forging armor within the jade cylinder? It couldn’t possibly be the original version; Lin Xuan had written it himself. The content only covered basic theories, with very few advanced techniques. While Tianqiao Sect could indeed forge armor using these principles, they would not produce anything superior. In short, there was no threat to him.
Still, as one of the seven major forces, Tianqiao Sect had countless wise individuals who might take a few thousand years to rediscover and perfect the technique. But by then, Lin Xuan would already have ascended to the Spirit Realm. He always planned meticulously before acting, targeting the sect’s weaknesses, and this move was indeed effective.
"Although I agreed to your exchange terms, I must admit that you also made a hefty request. Puppet souls are fine, but over a hundred Crystal Power Cannons will take some time for our sect to allocate," Mo Xuesong said helplessly. "Three days?"
"Exactly, three days."
"If it’s just this much time, I have no problem. I’ll go back now and let you know once I hear anything." Lin Xuan nodded in agreement after a moment of thought.
"Alright then, Daoyi, there’s no need for me to see you off. You don’t have to stay at the VIP lounge; if you’re interested, feel free to explore. Just avoid our forbidden areas, and we’ll treat you warmly," Mo Xuesong said with a smile as he stood up.
Lin Xuan bowed and then emitted a bright green light, transforming into a streak of lightning that shot out from the entrance.
Mo Xuesong’s smile slowly faded as a cold expression appeared on his face. A rumbling sound entered his ears; in the distant mountain wall, there was a cave where a young woman emerged.
She wore a green dress and looked no more than twenty years old, with a beautiful appearance and formidable spiritual pressure, making her an advanced-stage Immortal.
"Lord, are you really going to exchange ten puppet souls and over a hundred Crystal Power Cannons for that?" The woman frowned when she appeared, clearly disapproving of the deal. "Xin Sister, Brother Li also doesn’t want to do it, but we must get this method," Mo Xuesong shook his head, visibly in pain.
"I understand your brother’s intentions, but why exchange? He is alone; why not..." The woman released a terrifying aura as she spoke, though her words were incomplete, the meaning was clear.
"Absolutely not!" Mo Xuesong shook his head and rejected his companion's suggestion. "Although seizing treasure is common in cultivation, this situation is different. We must maintain basic integrity when doing business. If someone comes to our sect for a trade and we kill them and take their goods, if the news leaks out, it will damage our reputation. Such suggestions are not to be considered."
"Besides..."
"What besides?"
"Even though he’s an advanced-stage cultivator, his actions were too extravagant. He bought mushrooms with nine million crystals without batting an eye. Such a person claims to be a wandering cultivator; do you believe that, Sister?" Mo Xuesong hesitated before carefully explaining his feelings.
"It can’t be true. You are already at the peak of the Immortal stage and our sect’s chief elder. Your cultivation techniques far surpass those of ordinary high-stage cultivators," the woman said in disbelief. "I’m not sure either; it might just be a misperception, but this Li fellow is definitely formidable. The idea that he’s a wandering cultivator is absurd. We’d better not entertain any other thoughts."
In Tianzhou, the Demon Domain Mountains, an old monster named Feng Liang was recounting a love-hate story from eight hundred years ago to Xiao Jian.
The matter wasn’t complicated; it involved three people at the Separation Stage, making it quite dramatic.
Feng Liang and Wangtinglou were evenly matched in terms of cultivation techniques and power. The outcome was uncertain until Meng Rumei joined.
However, Feng Liang’s character was extremely peculiar. If he left, he would let Wangtinglou save the beauty, and he wouldn’t be able to enjoy her himself. Such a scenario was unacceptable to him.
Rather than break, he chose to shatter. He used all his abilities without targeting Wangtinglou, who was of the same stage.
He inflicted severe damage, even taking a hit from Wangtinglou that left him severely injured and bleeding profusely. He killed Meng Rumei with a sword before she could escape, reducing her to dust with his法宝.
Xiao Jian couldn’t help swallowing as he heard this. "Senior, if you say so, then Meng Rouyan’s sister must have perished at your hands."
