mò dà shī yī biān shuō ， yī biān tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng yǐn yǐn lù chū jǐ fēn kěn qiú zhī sè 。【 zuì xīn zhāng jié yuè dú 】
莫大师一边说，一边抬起头颅，脸上隐隐露出几分恳求之色。【最新章节阅读】
Master Mo spoke while raising his head, a hint of pleading on his face.
ér zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān zì rán kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， méi shāo yī dòng ， zuǐ chún kāi hé jiān ， yǐ shī zhǎn qǐ le chuán yīn zhī shù 。
而这一切，林轩自然看得清清楚楚，眉梢一动，嘴唇开合间，已施展起了传音之术。
Lin Xuan naturally saw everything clearly and moved his brows slightly as he began to use sound transmission technique.
“ yào lǎo fū gōng bù bǎo wù yě wú bù kě ， bù guò zài xià xī wàng dào yǒu dā yìng yí gè yāo qiú 。”
“要老夫公布宝物也无不可，不过在下希望道友答应一个要求。”
"Allowing me to reveal the treasure is fine, but I hope you will agree to one request."
“ dào yǒu qǐng shuō 。”
“道友请说。”
"Please speak your mind," replied the friend.
mò dà shī yě háo bù yóu yù de chuán yīn ， dàn xīn zhōng yī jǐn ， duì fāng yě kàn dào le xiàn zài de qíng jǐng ， gāi bú huì xiǎng yào chèn rén zhī wēi ， yǐ cǐ zuò wèi yāo xié 。
莫大师也毫不犹豫的传音，但心中一紧，对方也看到了现在的情景，该不会想要趁人之危，以此做为要挟。
Master Mo also used sound transmission without hesitation. However, a tightness in his heart arose; perhaps this person wanted to take advantage of him and use it as leverage.
fǎng fú kàn chū le duì fāng de dān xīn ， lín xuān xiào le xiào ， shēng yīn xiǎn de cí hé yǐ jí ：“ dào yǒu wú xū duō lǜ ， zài xià de yāo qiú bù zhí yī tí ， bù guò shì qǐng dào yǒu jiāng nà kuài gé jué shén shí de hóng bù ， zuò wèi tiān tóu ， yī bìng xiāng zèng ér yǐ 。”
仿佛看出了对方的担心，林轩笑了笑，声音显得慈和以极：“道友无须多虑，在下的要求不值一提，不过是请道友将那块隔绝神识的红布，做为添头，一并相赠而已。”
Seeing through his concern, Lin Xuan smiled, his voice gentle: "Friend, you need not worry. My request is trivial—merely asking for the red cloth that blocks spiritual awareness as an additional gift."
“ hē hē ， yuán lái rú cǐ ， zhè diǎn zhǔ ， lǎo fū hái zuò dé ， rú cǐ duō xiè dào yǒu le 。”
“呵呵，原来如此，这点主，老夫还做得，如此多谢道友了。”
"Haha, I see. This matter is within my capabilities; many thanks to you."
mò hén dà xǐ de chuán yīn shuō ， zhè hóng bù zhī suǒ yǐ kě yǐ gé jué shén shí ， shì yòng yī zhǒng tè shū de qīng cán sī suǒ zhì ， suī rán zhēn xī ， dàn píng shí yě bú huì yǒu tài dà de yòng tú ， yǐ cǐ zuò wèi dài jià ， huà jiě yǎn qián de wēi jī ， jué duì shì wěn zhuàn bù péi de shì 。
莫痕大喜的传音说，这红布之所以可以隔绝神识，是用一种特殊的青蚕丝所制，虽然珍稀，但平时也不会有太大的用途，以此做为代价，化解眼前的危机，绝对是稳赚不赔的事。
Master Mo expressed joy in sound transmission. The red cloth could block spiritual awareness because it was made from a special kind of green silk, though rare, it had limited practical use. Using this as the price for resolving the current crisis would definitely be profitable.
bù guò kàn lái zhè cì de mǎi zhǔ ， bìng bú shì yuán xiān suǒ xiǎng xiàng de dà rén wù 。
不过看来这次的买主，并不是原先所想象的大人物。
However, it seemed that the buyer wasn't the great figure he initially imagined.
qí shēn fèn ， mò hén yě bù xiǎo de ， bì jìng jìn rù bāo fáng ， pāi mài huì jiù huì wèi tā men yán gé bǎo mì ， nà wèi dà rén wù de xiāo xī ， tā yě shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， cái tīng dào le yì diǎn ér yǐ 。
其身份，莫痕也不晓得，毕竟进入包房，拍卖会就会为他们严格保密，那位大人物的消息，他也是机缘巧合，才听到了一点而已。
Master Mo did not know his identity; after all, entering the private room meant strict confidentiality during auctions, and he only heard a bit about the great figure by chance.
zhǐ yào néng jiě jué yǎn qián de wēi jī ， tā zì rán bú huì qù tàn jiū kè rén de yǐn mì 。
只要能解决眼前的危机，他自然不会去探究客人的隐秘。
As long as the current crisis was resolved, he would not delve into the guest's secrets.
liǎng rén dá chéng le xié yì ， mò hén de biǎo qíng píng jìng xià qù ， yī shēng qīng ké ， shēng yīn huǎn huǎn de chuán rù zhòng rén de ěr duǒ ：
两人达成了协议，莫痕的表情平静下去，一声轻咳，声音缓缓的传入众人的耳朵：
With their agreement reached, Master Mo’s expression calmed. "Haha, friends, you needn’t worry; I will explain the origin of this treasure. I believe most of you have heard of Master Womoyu."
“ jì rán zhū wèi dào yǒu dōu xiǎng yào zhī dào zhè tuō pán zhōng nǎi shì hé wù ， nà lǎo fū jiù ràng dà jiā yī bǎo yǎn fú 。”
“既然诸位道友都想要知道这托盘中乃是何物，那老夫就让大家一饱眼福。”
Master Mo’s slow voice echoed in everyone’s ears. Before he finished speaking, a wave of exclamations erupted below.
huà yīn wèi luò ， tā xiù páo yī fú ， yī zhèn wēi fēng guā guò ， jiāng nà hóng bù xiān qǐ lái le 。
话音未落，他袖袍一拂，一阵微风刮过，将那红布掀起来了。
"What? Did I hear correctly? Master Womoyu!"
yī běn cán pò de shū juàn yìng rù yǎn lián ， hòu bù guò jǐ fēn ér yǐ ， zhǐ yǒu liáo liáo shí yè yǒu yú ， ér qiě hái yǒu xiē cán pò ， yī kàn nián dài jiù hěn jiǔ yuǎn le 。
一本残破的书卷映入眼帘，厚不过几分而已，只有寥寥十页有余，而且还有些残破，一看年代就很久远了。
"Could it be that great monk who was known as the first expert in the Eastern Sea?"
“ zhè shì shén me ？”
“这是什么？”
"Humph, besides that master, who else could there be?"
zhòng rén dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì máng rán zhī sè 。
众人瞪大了眼珠，脸上满是茫然之色。
In recent days, Lin Xuan had read many books from the market while practicing, but he wasn't a native of this realm and couldn’t quickly absorb all knowledge. He had never heard of Master Womoyu, but from others' discussions, he knew it was an outstanding cultivator.
tā men dōu shì xiū xiān zhě ， shū zhè zhǒng dōng xī yǐ jīng bù zhī dào duō shǎo nián méi yǒu jiàn dào le ， bì jìng yǒu tì dài zhī wù ， yù tǒng jiǎn jì fāng biàn yòu néng bǎo cún jiǔ yuǎn 。
他们都是修仙者，书这种东西已经不知道多少年没有见到了，毕竟有替代之物，玉筒简既方便又能保存久远。
However, in the Eastern Sea cultivation realm, which seemed less prominent among many small realms in the Spirit Realm, the value of being the first expert was questionable.
bāo fáng zhōng ， lín xuān shén sè yī dòng ， guǒ rán yǔ zì jǐ yòng tiān fèng shén mù kàn jiàn de qíng xíng xiāng tóng 。
包房中，林轩神色一动，果然与自己用天凤神目看见的情形相同。
Before his thoughts could settle, more voices continued below.
qí shí dā yìng gōng bù cǐ wù ， tā zì rán shì yǒu yī fān kǎo liáng de 。
其实答应公布此物，他自然是有一番考量的。
"Master mentioned Master Womoyu. Could this be the cultivation method he practiced?" A familiar voice spoke, belonging to the fat merchant who had just spoken. He looked nervous and regretted his decision bitterly. If only he had continued bidding.
nà gé jué shén shí de hóng bù ， suàn shì yí gè lǐ yóu ， dàn bìng fēi jǐn zhǐ yú cǐ 。
那隔绝神识的红布，算是一个理由，但并非仅止于此。
The other cultivators also seemed regretful; they guessed that whatever was in the book might indeed be it.
yòng líng mù zhī shù ， jìn hū zuò bì de kàn jiàn le cāi pāi de bǎo wù ， ér lín xuān xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， lèi sì de dōng xī ， xiū xiān jiè bìng bù duō 。
用灵目之术，近乎作弊的看见了猜拍的宝物，而林轩心里有数，类似的东西，修仙界并不多。
However, Lin Xuan remained calm, his temperament far superior to ordinary cultivators. Even if it were Master Womoyu's cultivation method, it should have been a grand finale item. Bidding on such an item would be a waste of resources. Although his luck had always been good, he still believed that fate did not favor him.
ǒu ěr chū xiàn ， lǐ miàn suǒ jì zǎi de ， wú yī bú shì dà yǒu jià zhí de dōng xī ， suǒ yǐ tā cái huì guǒ duàn chū shǒu ， háo bù yóu yù de pāi xià bǎo wù 。
偶尔出现，里面所记载的，无一不是大有价值的东西，所以他才会果断出手，毫不犹豫的拍下宝物。
Master Mo’s voice continued: "Indeed, this is the cultivation method practiced by Master Womoyu..."
dàn qí lái lì ， lín xuān yě bìng bù xiǎo de ， gù ér yě xiǎng tīng pāi mài zhě jiě shuō shàng yī èr de 。
但其来历，林轩也并不晓得，故而也想听拍卖者解说上一二的。
Before he finished speaking, a collective intake of breath echoed. This time, it wasn’t just the fat merchant but other cultivators with some assets who regretted their decision bitterly. They wished they had bid on the item.
zhì yú huì bú huì yīn cǐ rě huò ， tā zé wán quán bù yòng dān xīn ， zì jǐ nǎi shì zài bāo fáng lǐ ， shēn fèn chéng mí ， děng chū qù yǐ hòu ， shuí yòu zhī dào shì zì jǐ pāi xià le zhè jiàn dōng xī 。
至于会不会因此惹祸，他则完全不用担心，自己乃是在包房里，身份成谜，等出去以后，谁又知道是自己拍下了这件东西。
Envy and jealousy filled the gaze directed at Lin Xuan’s private room.
“ hē hē ， zhū wèi dào yǒu bù yòng xīn jí ， lǎo fū zì rán huì jiě shì cǐ bǎo de lái lì ， wǒ xiǎng zài zuò de zhū wèi dào yǒu ， jué dà bù fèn dōu yīng gāi tīng shuō guò wò méi dà shī de wēi míng 。”
“呵呵，诸位道友不用心急，老夫自然会解释此宝的来历，我想在座的诸位道友，绝大部分都应该听说过卧眉大师的威名。”
However, there were also a few mature individuals who thought similarly to Lin Xuan.
mò hén huǎn huǎn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， huà yīn wèi luò ， xià miàn yǐ jīng shì yī piàn jīng hū 。
莫痕缓缓的声音传入耳朵，话音未落，下面已经是一片惊呼。
Sure enough, as the cultivators began to grumble, Master Mo’s voice continued: "In fact, friends, you needn’t be too disappointed. Although this cultivation method is indeed by Master Womoyu, it isn’t complete; it's merely a fragment."
“ shén me ， wǒ méi yǒu tīng cuò ba ， wò méi dà shī 。”
“什么，我没有听错吧，卧眉大师。”
"Fragment?"
“ nán dào tā shuō de ， shì shù wàn nián ， nà wèi yǒu zhe dōng hǎi xiū xiān jiè dì yī gāo rén zhī chēng de fú mó shén sēng ？”
“难道他说的，是数万年，那位有着东海修仙界第一高人之称的伏魔神僧？”
Many cultivators who had been lamenting their fate were surprised before their faces turned hopeful again.
“ hēng ， chú le nà wèi dà shī ， hái yǒu hé rén ？”
“哼，除了那位大师，还有何人？”
If it was just a fragment, they wouldn't envy or care much.
…… zhè xiē shí rì ， lín xuān xiū liàn zhī yú ， suī rán yě kàn guò bù shǎo cóng fāng shì mǎi lái de diǎn jí ， dàn bì jìng bú shì běn tǔ xiū xiān zhě ， bù kě néng duǎn duǎn de shí jiān ， jiù jiāng suǒ yǒu de zhī shí è bǔ ， zhè wèi shén me wò méi dà shī de wēi míng ， què cóng lái méi yǒu tīng guò ， bù guò cóng zhòng rén de yì lùn zhōng ， yě zhī dào shì yī wèi hěn liǎo bù qǐ de xiū xiān zhě 。
……这些时日，林轩修炼之余，虽然也看过不少从坊市买来的典籍，但毕竟不是本土修仙者，不可能短短的时间，就将所有的知识恶补，这位什么卧眉大师的威名，却从来没有听过，不过从众人的议论中，也知道是一位很了不起的修仙者。
Incomplete cultivation methods usually couldn’t be practiced. Even if luck favored them, such methods would be extremely difficult to master, making any achievements almost impossible.
zhǐ bù guò zhè dōng hǎi xiū xiān jiè ， zài líng jiè zhòng duō xiǎo jiè miàn zhōng ， sì hū bìng bù chū zhòng ， dì yī gāo shǒu de de hán jīn liàng ， duō shǎo hái shì yǒu xiē zhí de zhēn zhuó 。
只不过这东海修仙界，在灵界众多小界面中，似乎并不出众，第一高手的的含金量，多少还是有些值得斟酌。
In other words, the three hundred thousand mid-grade crystal stones were mostly wasted.
nǎo hǎi zhōng de niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， xià miàn de yì lùn shēng jiù jì xù chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
脑海中的念头尚未转过，下面的议论声就继续传入耳朵。
Not only had he not gained an advantage but also become a sacrificial lamb.
“ dà shī tí jí wò méi shén sēng ， nán dào zhè diǎn jí zhōng suǒ zài de ， shì tā suǒ xiū liàn de gōng fǎ bù chéng ？” yī yǒu xiē shú xī de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì gāng gāng nà jiǎ pàng zi kāi kǒu le ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì jǐn zhāng zhī sè ， yǐ shì huǐ dé cháng zi dōu qīng le 。
“大师提及卧眉神僧，难道这典籍中所载的，是他所修炼的功法不成？”一有些熟悉的声音传入耳朵，却是刚刚那贾胖子开口了，脸上满是紧张之色，已是悔得肠子都青了。
The envy turned into gloating.
zǎo zhī rú cǐ ， gāng cái yīng gāi jì xù jìng pāi xià qù 。
早知如此，刚才应该继续竞拍下去。
At this moment, the personalities of cultivators were vividly displayed.
qí yú xiū xiān zhě de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō ， jù tā men cāi cè ， zhè diǎn jí zhōng suǒ zài de ， shí yǒu ** yīng shì cǐ wù 。
其余修仙者的表情也差不多，据他们猜测，这典籍中所载的，十有**应是此物。
However, as the party involved, Lin Xuan hadn’t rejoiced earlier and showed no signs of disappointment now. He remained calm, neither arrogant in victory nor despondent in defeat. It was too early to conclude whether he had gained or lost.
rán ér zuò wèi mǎi zhǔ ， lín xuān què yī liǎn de yōu rán zì dé ， tā de xīn xìng ， kě yào bǐ pǔ tōng xiū shì qiáng dé duō 。
然而做为买主，林轩却一脸的悠然自得，他的心性，可要比普通修士强得多。
Regardless, people’s interest in the item waned, and the auction continued. The servant placed the silver tray with the red cloth and ancient book on a small teleportation array, then cast a spell.
ruò zhēn shì nà shén me wò méi chán shī de gōng fǎ ， jiù yīng gāi zuò wèi yā zhòu de bǎo wù ， zhè yàng jìng pāi qǐ bù shì bào tiǎn tiān wù ， suī rán zì jǐ de yùn qì yí xiàng bù cuò ， dàn lín xuān hái shì xiāng xìn ， tiān shàng shì bú huì diào xiàn bǐng de 。
若真是那什么卧眉禅师的功法，就应该做为压轴的宝物，这样竞拍岂不是暴殄天物，虽然自己的运气一向不错，但林轩还是相信，天上是不会掉馅饼的。
A flash of light, and the treasure vanished. In Lin Xuan's private room, there was also such an array.
mò dà shī de shēng yīn huǎn huǎn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
莫大师的声音缓缓传入耳朵。
The treasure appeared here.
“ bù cuò ， zhè què shí shì wò méi qián bèi céng jīng suǒ xiū liàn guò de gōng fǎ ……”
“不错，这确实是卧眉前辈曾经所修炼过的功法……”
Such a clever design allowed for easy handling while maintaining confidentiality regarding his identity.
huà yīn wèi luò ， yī piàn xī qì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhè yī huí ， bù zhǐ shì jiǎ pàng zi ， ér shì shāo yǒu diǎn shēn jiā de xiū shì ， yí gè èr gè ， huǐ dé cháng zi dōu qīng le ， hèn zì jǐ dāng shí wèi shén me méi yǒu chū shǒu jìng pāi bǎo wù ， zhè yàng qiān zǎi nán féng de jī huì ， jū rán bèi bái bái cuò guò 。
话音未落，一片吸气的声音传入耳朵，这一回，不止是贾胖子，而是稍有点身家的修士，一个二个，悔得肠子都青了，恨自己当时为什么没有出手竞拍宝物，这样千载难逢的机会，居然被白白错过。
The auction continued. Lin Xuan didn’t check the item but put it away in his waistband pouch.
wàng xiàng lín xuān suǒ zài bāo xiāng de mù guāng ， chōng mǎn le xiàn mù yǔ jí dù 。
望向林轩所在包厢的目光，充满了羡慕与嫉妒。
"Pure Yang True Iron, produced from underground fire veins; reportedly takes a thousand years to form. This piece weighs two pounds and is an excellent material for forging fire attribute treasures. Starting bid: fifty thousand crystals, with each increment not less than two thousand."
dāng rán ， yě yǒu shǎo shù lǎo chéng chí zhòng zhě ， xiǎng fǎ yǔ lín xuān chà bu duō 。
当然，也有少数老成持重者，想法与林轩差不多。
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xuan’s expression changed. He had heard of Pure Yang True Iron in the human world but thought it was a legendary item. He hadn’t expected to see it so soon after arriving in the Spirit Realm.
guǒ rán ， zhèng dāng zhòng xiū shì fēn fēn gǔ zào de shí hòu ， nà mò dà shī de shēng yīn yòu chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ zhòng dào yǒu qí shí yě bù yòng tài guò shī wàng de ， zhè diǎn jí zhōng jì zǎi de ， suī shì wò méi qián bèi de xiū liàn gōng fǎ bù jiǎ ， dàn què bìng bú shì wán zhěng zhī wù ， jǐn jǐn shì yī bù fèn cán piān bà le 。”
果然，正当众修士纷纷鼓噪的时候，那莫大师的声音又传入耳朵：“众道友其实也不用太过失望的，这典籍中记载的，虽是卧眉前辈的修炼功法不假，但却并不是完整之物，仅仅是一部分残篇罢了。”
It was roughly fist-sized and originally dark black with a hint of red. Even from afar, Lin Xuan could feel its powerful fire spirit energy.
“ cán piān ？”
“残篇？”
Such fame wasn't exaggerated; if used for forging fire attribute treasures, its value would be immense.
yuán běn zhèng chuí xiōng dùn zú de bù shǎo xiū xiān zhě tīng le ， xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu biǎo qíng yòu chóng xīn jīng xǐ qǐ lái 。
原本正捶胸顿足的不少修仙者听了，先是一呆，随后表情又重新惊喜起来。
Thus, Master Mo’s voice continued as bidding began.
rú guǒ jǐn jǐn shì cán piān ér yǐ ， tā men dào bù yòng rú hé de xiàn mù zài yì 。
如果仅仅是残篇而已，他们倒不用如何的羡慕在意。
"Fifty thousand."
yī lái ， bù wán zhěng de gōng fǎ shí yǒu ** gēn běn jiù wú fǎ xiū liàn 。
一来，不完整的功法十有**根本就无法修炼。
"Five hundred twenty thousand."
èr lái ， jí shǐ yùn qì bù cuò ， miǎn qiǎng kě yǐ de ， zhè zhǒng gōng fǎ yě huì kùn nán chóng chóng ， xiǎng yào yǒu suǒ chéng jiù ， jī hū shì chī rén shuō mèng 。
二来，即使运气不错，勉强可以的，这种功法也会困难重重，想要有所成就，几乎是痴人说梦。
"Sixty thousand!"
huàn jù huà shuō ， duì fāng nà sān wàn zhōng pǐn jīng shí ， duō bàn shì dǎ zài le shuǐ lǐ 。
换句话说，对方那三万中品晶石，多半是打在了水里。
"Eighty thousand!"
tā bù jǐn méi yǒu zhàn dào pián yi ， fǎn ér dāng le yuān dà tóu wú yí 。
他不仅没有占到便宜，反而当了冤大头无疑。
The price skyrocketed in a short time. Some wanted to use it for their own cultivation or forge treasures, while others were buyers from shops who would resell the rare material at a higher price, making substantial profits.
yuán běn de xiàn mù ， yě biàn chéng le xìng zāi lè huò 。
原本的羡慕，也变成了幸灾乐祸。
Lin Xuan didn’t participate in the bidding; although Pure Yang True Iron was valuable, he had no use for it.
zài zhè yī kè ， xiū xiān zhě de xìng gé ， kě yǐ shuō shì biǎo xiàn dé hān chàng lín lí le 。
在这一刻，修仙者的性格，可以说是表现得酣畅淋漓了。
After about half an hour, a black-robed cultivator bought it for twelve thousand crystals. Lin Xuan couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
rán ér zuò wèi dāng shì zhě ， lín xuān gāng cái bù céng kuáng xǐ guò ， cǐ kè biǎo qíng yě shì sī háo jǔ sàng yě wú ， shèng bù jiāo ， bài bù něi ， jiū jìng shì zhàn pián yí hái shì chī kuī ， rú jīn jiù xià jié lùn ， duō shǎo hái yǒu xiē wéi shí guò zǎo le 。
然而做为当事者，林轩刚才不曾狂喜过，此刻表情也是丝毫沮丧也无，胜不骄，败不馁，究竟是占便宜还是吃亏，如今就下结论，多少还有些为时过早了。
It seemed some perceptions needed changing. In the human world, his status far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators, and he was wealthy.
bù guǎn rú hé ， rén men yǐ duì zhè dōng xī shī qù le xìng qù ， ér pāi mài huì yě jiāng jì xù ， nà míng shì nǚ jiāng yín pán hóng bù hái yǒu gǔ jí duī yì qǐ ， fàng zài yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de chuán sòng zhèn lǐ ， rán hòu yīng chún wēi qǐ ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ le shàng qù 。
不管如何，人们已对这东西失去了兴趣，而拍卖会也将继续，那名侍女将银盘红布还有古籍堆一起，放在一个小小的传送阵里，然后樱唇微启，一道法诀打了上去。
But in the Spirit Realm, resources were abundant, and "rich people" abounded. Here, while his wealth wasn't thin, it could be outdone by a richer peer at any moment.
guāng huá yī shǎn ， bǎo wù yǐ xiāo shī bú jiàn ， ér zài lín xuān suǒ zài de bāo xiāng lǐ ， tóng yàng yǒu yī lèi sì chuán sòng zhèn de xiǎo qiǎo dōng xī 。
光华一闪，宝物已消失不见，而在林轩所在的包厢里，同样有一类似传送阵的小巧东西。
"Black Earth from Black Swamp, a rare earth attribute material suitable for forging treasures."
bǎo wù chū xiàn zài le zhè lǐ 。
宝物出现在了这里。
After the previous item was delivered to its buyer, another servant brought up a new item.
zhè zhǒng jīng qiǎo de shè jì ， zì rán shì fāng biàn yǐ jí ， ér qiě duì yú dāng shì zhě de shēn fèn ， yě kě yǐ qǐ dào zuì hǎo de bǎo mì 。
这种精巧的设计，自然是方便以极，而且对于当事者的身份，也可以起到最好的保密。
Master Mo praised the upcoming treasure before revealing the starting bid: "This black earth weighs two pounds; starting bid: seventy thousand crystals, with each increment not less than three thousand."
pāi mài huì hái zài jì xù ， lín xuān cǐ kè ， zì rán bú huì qù chá kàn bǎo wù ， ér shì xiù páo yī fú ， jiù jiāng tā men shōu rù dào yāo jiān de xū yú dài lǐ 。
拍卖会还在继续，林轩此刻，自然不会去查看宝物，而是袖袍一拂，就将牠们收入到腰间的须臾袋里。
Before he finished speaking, the cultivators below began to protest.
“ chún yáng zhēn tiě ， chǎn yú dì mài huǒ xué ， jù shuō wàn nián cái néng chéng xíng ， zhè lǐ de yī kuài ， zhòng liàng gāo dá liǎng jīn ， nǎi shì liàn zhì huǒ shǔ xìng fǎ bǎo de jué jiā cái liào ， dǐ jià wǔ wàn jīng shí ， měi yī cì jiā jià ， bù dé shǎo yú liǎng qiān 。”
“纯阳真铁，产于地脉火穴，据说万年才能成形，这里的一块，重量高达两斤，乃是炼制火属性法宝的绝佳材料，底价五万晶石，每一次加价，不得少于两千。”
"Is this a joke? This is clearly exploiting us. Black Earth was auctioned off three months ago, and its weight was similar. The previous transaction price was only thirty thousand crystals; why such an outrageous starting bid now?"
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān jiù bó rán biàn sè ， zhè chún yáng zhēn tiě tā zài rén jiè de shí hòu ， dào yě céng jīng tīng shuō ， bù guò nǎi shì chuán shuō zhī wù ， méi xiǎng dào cái lái líng jiè méi duō jiǔ ， jiù zài pāi mài huì zhōng qīn yǎn mù dǔ 。
话音未落，林轩就勃然变色，这纯阳真铁他在人界的时候，倒也曾经听说，不过乃是传说之物，没想到才来灵界没多久，就在拍卖会中亲眼目睹。
"Indeed, I was there during that auction. Although valuable, the treasure’s quality doesn’t match Pure Yang True Iron."
nà shì yī quán tou dà xiǎo de shì wù ， yuán běn shì yǒu hēi sè ， dàn yòu tòu zháo huǒ hóng ， jí shǐ xiāng gé zhè me yuǎn de jù lí ， lín xuān yě néng gòu gǎn jué dào lǐ miàn suǒ yùn hán de qiáng dà de huǒ líng lì 。
那是一拳头大小的事物，原本是黝黑色，但又透着火红，即使相隔这么远的距离，林轩也能够感觉到里面所蕴含的强大的火灵力。

Master Mo spoke while raising his head, a hint of pleading on his face.
Lin Xuan naturally saw everything clearly and moved his brows slightly as he began to use sound transmission technique.
"Allowing me to reveal the treasure is fine, but I hope you will agree to one request."
"Please speak your mind," replied the friend.
Master Mo also used sound transmission without hesitation. However, a tightness in his heart arose; perhaps this person wanted to take advantage of him and use it as leverage.
Seeing through his concern, Lin Xuan smiled, his voice gentle: "Friend, you need not worry. My request is trivial—merely asking for the red cloth that blocks spiritual awareness as an additional gift."
"Haha, I see. This matter is within my capabilities; many thanks to you."
Master Mo expressed joy in sound transmission. The red cloth could block spiritual awareness because it was made from a special kind of green silk, though rare, it had limited practical use. Using this as the price for resolving the current crisis would definitely be profitable.
However, it seemed that the buyer wasn't the great figure he initially imagined.
Master Mo did not know his identity; after all, entering the private room meant strict confidentiality during auctions, and he only heard a bit about the great figure by chance.
As long as the current crisis was resolved, he would not delve into the guest's secrets.
With their agreement reached, Master Mo’s expression calmed. "Haha, friends, you needn’t worry; I will explain the origin of this treasure. I believe most of you have heard of Master Womoyu."
Master Mo’s slow voice echoed in everyone’s ears. Before he finished speaking, a wave of exclamations erupted below.
"What? Did I hear correctly? Master Womoyu!"
"Could it be that great monk who was known as the first expert in the Eastern Sea?"
"Humph, besides that master, who else could there be?"
In recent days, Lin Xuan had read many books from the market while practicing, but he wasn't a native of this realm and couldn’t quickly absorb all knowledge. He had never heard of Master Womoyu, but from others' discussions, he knew it was an outstanding cultivator.
However, in the Eastern Sea cultivation realm, which seemed less prominent among many small realms in the Spirit Realm, the value of being the first expert was questionable.
Before his thoughts could settle, more voices continued below.
"Master mentioned Master Womoyu. Could this be the cultivation method he practiced?" A familiar voice spoke, belonging to the fat merchant who had just spoken. He looked nervous and regretted his decision bitterly. If only he had continued bidding.
The other cultivators also seemed regretful; they guessed that whatever was in the book might indeed be it.
However, Lin Xuan remained calm, his temperament far superior to ordinary cultivators. Even if it were Master Womoyu's cultivation method, it should have been a grand finale item. Bidding on such an item would be a waste of resources. Although his luck had always been good, he still believed that fate did not favor him.
Master Mo’s voice continued: "Indeed, this is the cultivation method practiced by Master Womoyu..."
Before he finished speaking, a collective intake of breath echoed. This time, it wasn’t just the fat merchant but other cultivators with some assets who regretted their decision bitterly. They wished they had bid on the item.
Envy and jealousy filled the gaze directed at Lin Xuan’s private room.
However, there were also a few mature individuals who thought similarly to Lin Xuan.
Sure enough, as the cultivators began to grumble, Master Mo’s voice continued: "In fact, friends, you needn’t be too disappointed. Although this cultivation method is indeed by Master Womoyu, it isn’t complete; it's merely a fragment."
"Fragment?"
Many cultivators who had been lamenting their fate were surprised before their faces turned hopeful again.
If it was just a fragment, they wouldn't envy or care much.
Incomplete cultivation methods usually couldn’t be practiced. Even if luck favored them, such methods would be extremely difficult to master, making any achievements almost impossible.
In other words, the three hundred thousand mid-grade crystal stones were mostly wasted.
Not only had he not gained an advantage but also become a sacrificial lamb.
The envy turned into gloating.
At this moment, the personalities of cultivators were vividly displayed.
However, as the party involved, Lin Xuan hadn’t rejoiced earlier and showed no signs of disappointment now. He remained calm, neither arrogant in victory nor despondent in defeat. It was too early to conclude whether he had gained or lost.
Regardless, people’s interest in the item waned, and the auction continued. The servant placed the silver tray with the red cloth and ancient book on a small teleportation array, then cast a spell.
A flash of light, and the treasure vanished. In Lin Xuan's private room, there was also such an array.
The treasure appeared here.
Such a clever design allowed for easy handling while maintaining confidentiality regarding his identity.
The auction continued. Lin Xuan didn’t check the item but put it away in his waistband pouch.
"Pure Yang True Iron, produced from underground fire veins; reportedly takes a thousand years to form. This piece weighs two pounds and is an excellent material for forging fire attribute treasures. Starting bid: fifty thousand crystals, with each increment not less than two thousand."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xuan’s expression changed. He had heard of Pure Yang True Iron in the human world but thought it was a legendary item. He hadn’t expected to see it so soon after arriving in the Spirit Realm.
It was roughly fist-sized and originally dark black with a hint of red. Even from afar, Lin Xuan could feel its powerful fire spirit energy.
Such fame wasn't exaggerated; if used for forging fire attribute treasures, its value would be immense.
Thus, Master Mo’s voice continued as bidding began.
"Fifty thousand."
"Five hundred twenty thousand."
"Sixty thousand!"
"Eighty thousand!"
The price skyrocketed in a short time. Some wanted to use it for their own cultivation or forge treasures, while others were buyers from shops who would resell the rare material at a higher price, making substantial profits.
Lin Xuan didn’t participate in the bidding; although Pure Yang True Iron was valuable, he had no use for it.
After about half an hour, a black-robed cultivator bought it for twelve thousand crystals. Lin Xuan couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
It seemed some perceptions needed changing. In the human world, his status far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators, and he was wealthy.
But in the Spirit Realm, resources were abundant, and "rich people" abounded. Here, while his wealth wasn't thin, it could be outdone by a richer peer at any moment.
"Black Earth from Black Swamp, a rare earth attribute material suitable for forging treasures."
After the previous item was delivered to its buyer, another servant brought up a new item.
Master Mo praised the upcoming treasure before revealing the starting bid: "This black earth weighs two pounds; starting bid: seventy thousand crystals, with each increment not less than three thousand."
Before he finished speaking, the cultivators below began to protest.
"Is this a joke? This is clearly exploiting us. Black Earth was auctioned off three months ago, and its weight was similar. The previous transaction price was only thirty thousand crystals; why such an outrageous starting bid now?"
"Indeed, I was there during that auction. Although valuable, the treasure’s quality doesn’t match Pure Yang True Iron."
