tā zhè me zuò ， shì wèi le ràng lín xuān zhī nán ér tuì 。
他这么做，是为了让林轩知难而退。
He did this to make Lin Xuan retreat in the face of difficulty.
dāng rán ， duì fāng ruò zhēn shě de ， tā yě bù suàn chī kuī shén me ， bì jìng qū qū yī tiáo chǔ wù dài ， jiù suàn shì cóng shàng gǔ liú chuán xià lái ， sān bǎi wàn jīng shí ， yě shì yí gè lìng rén jīng tàn de shù zì ， jiù suàn ná dào pāi mài huì ， yě bù guò rú cǐ 。
当然，对方若真舍得，他也不算吃亏什么，毕竟区区一条储物袋，就算是从上古流传下来，三百万晶石，也是一个令人惊叹的数字，就算拿到拍卖会，也不过如此。
Of course, if his opponent truly wanted to part with it, he wouldn't be at a loss. After all, just a storage bracelet, even if it had been passed down from ancient times, was worth 3 million crystal stones—a number that still amazed people. Even if sold at an auction, the price would remain the same.
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì 。
林轩的嘴角边流露出一丝笑意。
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile.
qū qū yī míng níng dān qī xiū shì ， jū rán zài zì jǐ miàn qián shuǎ xīn jī 。
区区一名凝丹期修士，居然在自己面前耍心机。
A mere condensation core cultivator actually tried to play mind games in front of him.
sān bǎi wàn ， shì guì le yī xiē ， dàn fàng zài zì jǐ yǎn lǐ ， què bù zhí yī tí 。
三百万，是贵了一些，但放在自己眼里，却不值一提。
Three million was indeed expensive, but it meant nothing to his eyes. This treasure must have some hidden value; this price was worth it.
zhè bǎo wù ， jué duì lìng yǒu xuán jī ， zhè ge jià ， zhí ！
这宝物，绝对另有玄机，这个价，值！
With Lin Xuan’s character, he wouldn’t do anything that could be considered a loss. Since he believed the current treasure had such value, he took out 30,000 crystal stones without hesitation from his storage bracelet.
yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， yòu zěn me huì zuò chī kuī zhī shì ， dàn tā jì rán rèn wéi yǎn qián de bǎo wù ， yǒu zhè ge jià zhí ， yě jiù háo bù yóu yù ， cóng chǔ wù dài lǐ qǔ chū sān wàn jīng shí 。
以林轩的性格，又怎么会做吃亏之事，但他既然认为眼前的宝物，有这个价值，也就毫不犹豫，从储物袋里取出三万晶石。
Mr. Hu's eyes widened in surprise.
huá zhǎng guì yǎn jīng dōu zhí le 。
华掌柜眼睛都直了。
Although he eventually realized that his opponent wasn't from a poor region but was wealthy, he never expected it to reach this point. Three million crystal stones were no small sum for an early-stage immortal body cultivator; the other party didn’t even hesitate to part with them.
suī rán dào hòu miàn ， tā yǐ míng bái duì fāng bú shì lái zì qióng xiāng pì rǎng de xiū xiān zhě ， xiāng fǎn cái dà qì cū ， dàn yě wàn wàn méi xiǎng de ， jū rán yǐ dào le zhè ge dì bù 。
虽然到后面，他已明白对方不是来自穷乡僻壤的修仙者，相反财大气粗，但也万万没想的，居然已到了这个地步。
Surely, they had encountered a big customer!
sān bǎi wàn jīng shí ， duì yuán yīng chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， suī rán méi dào qīng jiā dàng chǎn de dì bù ， dàn yě jué bú shì shén me xiǎo shù mù ， duì fāng lián hēng dōu méi hēng ， jiù qīng yì ná chū 。
三百万晶石，对元婴初期的修仙者，虽然没到倾家荡产的地步，但也绝不是什么小数目，对方连哼都没哼，就轻易拿出。
With this thought in mind, his expression became extremely enthusiastic as he asked Lin Xuan if he wanted to buy anything else.
guǒ rán shì yù jiàn le dà zhǔ gù ！
果然是遇见了大主顾！
An hour later, Lin Xuan left the shop. He was now fully dressed in new attire from head to toe. From the close-fitting undergarment to the long robe and leather boots, all items were complete sets.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lǎo bǎn de biǎo qíng yuè fā rè qíng yǐ jí ， xún wèn lín xuān shì fǒu hái mǎi bié de dōng xī 。
想到这里，老板的表情越发热情以极，询问林轩是否还买别的东西。
This outfit was also a valuable item suitable for separation period cultivators. Although Lin Xuan had practiced敛气术 (Conceal Qi Technique), as a wealthy person, he could afford to buy higher-grade robes without any objections from the seller.
yí gè shí chén yǐ hòu ， lín xuān chū le diàn pù 。
一个时辰以后，林轩出了店铺。
In fact, such situations in the East Sea were common; many well-off cultivators would purchase clothes of a higher grade than their own.
cǐ shí tā cóng tóu dào jiǎo ， yǐ jīng quán bù huàn le yī shēn xīn zhuāng 。
此时他从头到脚，已经全部换了一身新装。
Satisfied with his new outfit, Lin Xuan found that the spiritual realm’s robes truly lived up to their reputation. The green robe not only had almost the same defensive power as ordinary-grade ancient treasures but also concealed his aura. Although the Conceal Qi Technique from the Nine Heavens Profound Art was extremely subtle, adding a few more techniques wouldn’t be harmful.
cóng tiē shēn xiǎo yī ， dào bù xuē cháng páo ， suǒ yǒu de wù pǐn ， quán dōu chéng tào 。
从贴身小衣，到布靴长袍，所有的物品，全都成套。
The leather boots were also quite valuable. They contained several wind-based spells and could increase the speed of his遁光 (flying light).
zhè yī shēn xíng tou ， tóng yàng nǎi shì jià zhí bù fēi zhī wù ， shì hé lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， suī rán lín xuān shī zhǎn le liǎn qì zhī shù ， dàn zuò wèi dà cái zhǔ ， tā xiǎng yào mǎi gāo yí gè céng cì de fǎ yī ， duì fāng yě méi yǒu bù mài de dào lǐ 。
这一身行头，同样乃是价值不菲之物，适合离合期修仙者，虽然林轩施展了敛气之术，但做为大财主，他想要买高一个层次的法衣，对方也没有不卖的道理。
In such dangerous places as the spiritual realm, the faster one could escape, the better…
qí shí zài dōng hǎi zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng hěn duō jiàn ， yī xiē shǒu tóu kuān yù de xiū xiān zhě dū huì gòu mǎi bǐ zì jǐ céng cì gāo de yī fú 。
其实在东海这种情况很多见，一些手头宽裕的修仙者都会购买比自己层次高的衣服。
...
kàn zhe shēn shàng de xīn zhuāng ， lín xuān yě mǎn yì wú bǐ ， líng jiè de fǎ yī ， hái zhēn shì shèng míng wú xū 。
看着身上的新装，林轩也满意无比，灵界的法衣，还真是盛名无虚。
The silk undergarment was made from a spider that produced dual water and fire attributes. As close-fitting armor, it was both soft and had extremely high defensive capabilities.
xiàng tā shēn shàng de qīng páo ， fáng yù lì jī hū bù xùn yú pǔ tōng pǐn zhì dì gǔ bǎo ér qiě hái néng yǎn cáng qì xī ， suī rán jiǔ tiān xuán gōng zhōng de liǎn qì shù xuán miào yǐ jí ， dàn líng jiè gāo shǒu hěn duō ， tiān jǐ yàng shǒu duàn ， zǒng méi yǒu huài chù 。
像他身上的青袍，防御力几乎不逊于普通品质的古宝而且还能掩藏气息，虽然九天玄功中的敛气术玄妙以极，但灵界高手很多，添几样手段，总没有坏处。
Of course, the price of these items wasn’t cheap; Lin Xuan spent nearly a million crystal stones on them.
hái yǒu jiǎo xià de bù xuē ， yě shì yī bù cuò de yì bǎo 。
还有脚下的布靴，也是一不错的异宝。
If he were an early-stage immortal body cultivator, such shopping would be akin to squandering wealth. But as a separation period cultivator, it was just a drop in the bucket.
lǐ miàn bù jǐn àn cáng jǐ zhǒng fēng xì fǎ shù ， ér qiě néng gòu tí gāo dùn guāng de sù dù 。
里面不仅暗藏几种风系法术，而且能够提高遁光的速度。
A cultivator’s assets usually correlated with their strength. Moreover, Lin Xuan had a special situation; during his time in the mortal world, he had killed countless other cultivators. The storage bracelet, now a war trophy, made him rich beyond measure.
suǒ wèi sān shí liù jì zǒu wéi shàng jì ， zài líng jiè zhè yàng de wēi xiǎn zhī dì táo pǎo de sù dù kuài yì diǎn ， zǒng shì yǒu yì wú hài dì ……”……
所谓三十六计走为上计，在灵界这样的危险之地逃跑的速度快一点，总是有益无害地……”……
This market trip yielded abundant rewards, and Lin Xuan harbored even more hope for that mysterious belt. However, it wasn’t yet time to return to his cave dwelling; there was still one matter he needed to handle first.
sī zhì dì nèi yī ， nǎi shì yòng yī zhǒng shuǐ huǒ shuāng shǔ xìng de mó zhū suǒ tǔ chū lái de sī biān zhì ， zuò wèi tiē shēn ruǎn jiǎ ， bù jǐn qīng róu ， ér qiě yōng yǒu jí gāo de fáng yù 。
丝质的内衣，乃是用一种水火双属性的魔蛛所吐出来的丝编制，做为贴身软甲，不仅轻柔，而且拥有极高的防御。
The black dragon armor shield had accompanied him for a long time and its defense had significantly improved with the addition of the deep-sea turtle’s hard shell. Unfortunately, during his travels in Penglai Mountain, it had been destroyed. Before finding a replacement treasure, Lin Xuan naturally needed to repair this item.
dāng rán ， jǐ jiàn wù pǐn de jià gé yě shì bù dī ， yòu huā qù le lín xuān jìn bǎi wàn jīng shí 。
当然，几件物品的价格也是不低，又huā去了林轩近百万晶石。
Repairing such an object required considerable effort and many new materials. With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan began searching the market carefully for suitable items.
rú guǒ tā zhēn shì yuán yīng chū qī de xiū xiān zhě zhè yàng gòu wù gēn bài jiā chà bu duō 。
如果他真是元婴初期的修仙者这样购物跟败家差不多。
Time passed, but he didn’t find anything useful.
dàn zuò wèi lí hé ， zé jǐn jǐn shì máo máo yǔ bà le 。
但做为离合，则仅仅是毛毛雨罢了。
Lin Xuan shook his head; even rare materials in the spiritual realm weren't easily found on the streets.
xiū shì de shēn jiā ， tōng cháng yǔ shí lì chéng zhèng bǐ ， gèng hé kuàng lín xuān huán qíng kuàng tè shū ， zài rén jiè de shí hòu ， bù zhī dào miè shā le duō shǎo xiū xiān zhě 。
修士的身家，通常与实力成正比，更何况林轩还情况特殊，在人界的时候，不知道灭杀了多少修仙者。
Just as he was feeling disappointed, a magnificent building caught his eye. It was a three-story pavilion that wasn’t particularly tall but very attractive.
chǔ wù dài zuò wèi zhàn lì pǐn bèi tā mò shōu ， rú cǐ yī lái lín xuān zì rán fù dé liú yóu 。
储物袋做为战利品被他没收，如此一来林轩自然富得流油。
"Treasure Pavilion!"
zhè yī cì fāng shì zhī lǚ shōu huò fēng fù duì nà shén mì de yāo dài lín xuān xīn zhōng gèng duō le jǐ fēn qǐ pàn de niàn tou ， dāng rán le ， xiàn zài hái bú shì huí dòng fǔ de shí kè ， tā hái yǒu yī jiàn yào shì méi yǒu bàn de 。
这一次坊市之旅收获丰富对那神秘的腰带林轩心中更多了几分企盼的念头，当然了，现在还不是回洞府的时刻，他还有一件要事没有办的。
Lin Xuan looked up at the dragon-dancing and phoenix-waving characters on the signboard.
wū jīn lóng jiǎ dùn yě suàn gēn suí zì jǐ nián shēn yuè jiǔ ， ér qiě jiā rù shēn hǎi xuán guī de yìng ké hòu fáng yù lì yě tí dào le yī kě guān de chéng dù 。
乌金龙甲盾也算跟随自己年深月久，而且加入深海玄龟的硬壳后防御力也提到了一可观的程度。
Even without these words, the nature of this shop’s business could be easily discerned. Only half of its entrance was open; the other side displayed various weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds, all of high quality.
kě xī zài péng lái shān zhī lǚ zhōng bèi huǐ le zài zhǎo dào xīn de tì dài bǎo wù yǐ qián lín xuān zì rán yào xiān jiāng xī xiū fù 。
可惜在蓬莱山之旅中被毁了在找到新的替代宝物以前林轩自然要先将牺修复。
Clearly, it sold magical treasures.
ér xiū fù cǐ wù bù jǐn xū pǒ fèi yī fān gōng fu ， ér qiě hái bì xū jiā rù bù shǎo xīn de cái liào cái kě 。
而修复此物不仅需颇费一番功夫，而且还必须加入不少新的材料才可。
In the mortal world, there were similar shops, but their goods mainly consisted of spiritual artifacts.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān kāi shǐ zài fāng shì zhōng yòng xīn shōu luó 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩开始在坊市中用心收罗。
While one could buy magical treasures at auctions, they were extremely rare in the mortal world.
shí jiān yī fēn yī miǎo guò qù le lín xuān bìng méi yǒu fā xiàn hé yòng zhī wù 。
时间一分一秒过去了林轩并没有发现合用之物。
Even if these items ended up in Lin Xuan's hands like a cabbage, for ordinary cultivators, even with a lifetime’s wealth, it might not be enough to acquire such treasures. Renowned sects or those with family support had an advantage, but for scattered cultivators, even if they managed to condense their golden cores by chance, they would never own such grade of treasures.
lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， kàn lái jí biàn shì líng jiè zhēn xī cái liào yě shì bú shì suí biàn jiù kě yǐ zài dà jiē shàng mǎi dào de 。
林轩摇了摇头，看来即便是灵界珍稀材料也是不是随便就可以在大街上买到的。
Because there were simply too few magical treasures in the cultivation world!
zhèng dāng tā yǒu xiē shī wàng de shí kè ， yī zuò qì shì huī hóng de jiàn zhù yìng rù le yǎn lián zhōng 。
正当他有些失望的时刻，一座气势恢宏的建筑映入了眼帘中。
Even ordinary-grade items that occasionally appeared in the market were quickly snapped up. However, in the spiritual realm, resources were abundant, and the art of forging was far superior to that in the mortal world, making magical treasures plentiful. With enough crystal stones, one could buy them at will.
shì yī zuò sān céng de gé lóu ， bìng bù tài gāo ， dàn què shí fēn xī yǐn rén de yǎn qiú 。
是一座三层的阁楼，并不太高，但却十分吸引人的眼球。
Of course, not all items sold here were ordinary; with sufficient funds, one might even find valuable treasures.
“ bǎi bǎo gé ！”
“百宝阁！”
The top grade ones would be rare—either kept by powerful cultivators or only appearing in secret markets and auctions.
lín xuān tái tóu kàn zhe zhāo pái shàng nà lóng fēi fèng wǔ de dà zì 。
林轩抬头看着招牌上那龙飞凤舞的大字。
Looking at the building before him, Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before stepping inside.
qí shí jí biàn méi yǒu zhè xiē zì ， cǐ diàn suǒ zuò de mǎi mài yě bù nán biàn shí 。
其实即便没有这些字，此店所做的买卖也不难辨识。
"Eh?"
yīn wèi qí dà mén jǐn kāi le yí bàn ， zhì yú lìng yī biān ， zé guà zhe dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ děng shí bā bān bīng qì ， ér qiě pǐn zhì bù dī 。
因为其大门仅开了一半，至于另一边，则挂着刀枪剑戟等十八般兵器，而且品质不低。
Even with his composure, Lin Xuan couldn’t help showing surprise. The style of such weapon shops should have been rugged and bold, but this place seemed like an elegant literary family.
bú yòng shuō ， cǐ diàn shì mài fǎ bǎo dì 。
不用说，此店是卖法宝地。
Paper, ink, brushes, and inkstones; delicate screens, and even some orchids were visible. Beautiful landscape paintings adorned the walls around him. If it weren’t for seeing cultivators haggling over their flashing flying knives and swords, Lin Xuan would have thought he had gone to the wrong place!
zài rén jiè ， yě yǒu lèi sì de diàn pù ， dàn lǐ miàn de huò wù ， què yǐ líng qì wéi zhǔ 。
在人界，也有类似的店铺，但里面的货物，却以灵器为主。
Lin Xuan touched his forehead in amusement. The owner of this shop was either pretentious or a true eccentric; although they hadn’t met, Lin Xuan’s intuition told him it was the latter.
xiǎng yào mǎi fǎ bǎo ， yě bú shì yì diǎn jī huì yě wú ， dàn yào dào pāi mài huì cái kě 。
想要买法宝，也不是一点机会也无，但要到拍卖会才可。
Perhaps he really came to the right place.
bì jìng fǎ bǎo zhè zhǒng dōng xī ， zài rén jiè kě shì fēi cháng zhēn xī 。
毕竟法宝这种东西，在人界可是非常珍稀。
With these thoughts, a maid approached and gently said, "Senior, please go upstairs for tea. A dedicated attendant will take care of you."
bié kàn luò dào lín xuān de shǒu lǐ ， jiù gēn dà bái cài shì de ， qí shí duì yì bān xiū shì lái shuō ， jiù suàn shì qióng yī shēng de cái fù ， yě wèi bì néng gòu mǎi xià zhè yàng de bǎo wù 。
别看落到林轩的手里，就跟大白菜似的，其实对一般修士来说，就算是穷一生的财富，也未必能够买下这样的宝物。
Her hand held a small round tray, so even though his cultivation level was only at the spirit agility stage, Lin Xuan could tell that the young man before him was an ancient immortal.
míng mén dà pài bù shuō ， yǒu jiā zú yī kào yě kě ， rán ér yī xiē sàn xiū ， jiù suàn shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， níng jié jīn dān chéng gōng ， yě bié xiǎng yōng yǒu nà zhǒng děng jiē de bǎo wù 。
名门大派不说，有家族依靠也可，然而一些散修，就算是机缘巧合，凝结金丹成功，也别想拥有那种等阶的宝物。
Lin Xuan nodded and climbed the stairs. The environment on the second floor was indeed much more elegant. It seemed to be just he as a guest; originally, Lin Xuan hadn’t paid attention, but when his gaze passed by one of the female cultivators who had walked with him, his expression suddenly changed…
yīn wèi xiū xiān jiè de fǎ bǎo shù liàng tài shǎo le ！
因为修仙界的法宝数量太少了！
Postscript: Fellow Daoists, Happy Dragon Boat Festival! In recognition of my efforts on this holiday, please give Phantom Rain some recommendations. Even if you haven't eaten the腊肉粽子 (cured meat zongzi), more recommendations would be great too!
He did this to make Lin Xuan retreat in the face of difficulty.
Of course, if his opponent truly wanted to part with it, he wouldn't be at a loss. After all, just a storage bracelet, even if it had been passed down from ancient times, was worth 3 million crystal stones—a number that still amazed people.
