páng zhì líng bǎo ！
彷制灵宝！
Fangzhi Lingbao!
mò dà shī de shēng yīn bù dà ， què qīng xī de chuán rù měi yí gè rén de ěr duǒ 。
莫大师的声音不大，却清晰的传入每一个人的耳朵。
Master Mo's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
duǎn zàn de chén jì zhī hòu ， yī piàn xī qì shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú 。
短暂的沉寂之后，一片吸气声此起彼伏。
After a brief silence, a series of inhalation sounds could be heard. Even in the Spirit Realm,顶级灵宝 were extremely rare treasures. Most cultivators present had only heard about them; few had actually seen one with their own eyes.
jí biàn zài líng jiè zhī zhōng ， tōng tiān líng bǎo yě shì jí wéi xī yǒu de bǎo wù ， zhì shǎo zài zuò de xiū xiān zhě ， dà duō jǐn jǐn shì ěr wén guò ， qīn yǎn mù dǔ de liáo liáo kě shǔ 。
即便在灵界之中，通天灵宝也是极为稀有的宝物，至少在座的修仙者，大多仅仅是耳闻过，亲眼目睹的寥寥可数。
Such grade of treasure was beyond their reach.
nà zhǒng děng jí de bǎo wù ， gēn běn jiù bú shì tā men kě yǐ yōng yǒu de 。
那种等级的宝物，根本就不是他们可以拥有的。
Even if they happened to see it by chance, it was merely a case of envy from the sidelines.
jí biàn shì jī yuán qiǎo hé xià jiàn guò ， yě bù guò shì zài yī páng yǎn chán bà le 。
即便是机缘巧合下见过，也不过是在一旁眼谗罢了。
But now, there was an opportunity right in front of them. Although not a true灵宝, its仿制 version still possessed formidable power.
ér yǎn qián ， què yǒu yí gè jī huì bǎi zài miàn qián ， suī bú shì zhēn zhèng de líng bǎo ， dàn fǎng zhì zhī wù ， wēi néng tóng yàng fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
而眼前，却有一个机会摆在面前，虽不是真正的灵宝，但仿制之物，威能同样非同小可。
Master Mo spoke clearly: "The山水扇 is a masterpiece, with power nearly half that of the original."
mò dà shī shuō dé hěn qīng chǔ 。
莫大师说得很清楚。
Gulp!
zhè shān shuǐ shàn kān chēng jīng pǐn jié zuò ， qí wēi néng jī hū néng gòu dá dào yuán bǎo de yí bàn zuǒ yòu 。
这山水扇堪称精品杰作，其威能几乎能够达到原宝的一半左右。
The sound of swallowing saliva entered everyone's ears. Many cultivators below were already心动.
gū dōng ！
咕咚！
Lin Xuan's breathing became more rapid. He knew very well how powerful 通天灵宝 could be.
tūn kǒu shuǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bù shǎo zuò zài xià miàn de xiū xiān zhě dōu yǐ pēng rán xīn dòng 。
吞口水的声音传入耳朵，不少坐在下面的修仙者都已怦然心动。
Though the魔缘剑 had saved him from danger several times, it was merely a broken灵宝. The山水扇, even if just a仿制 version, might still possess power comparable to that of the broken魔缘剑.
lián lín xuān de hū xī dōu yǒu xiē jí cù ， tōng tiān líng bǎo wēi lì rú hé ， tā zì rán xīn lǐ yǒu shù 。
连林轩的呼吸都有些急促，通天灵宝威力如何，他自然心里有数。
Such an opportunity was not to be missed. If possible, Lin Xuan wanted to bid for it.
mó yuán jiàn kě shì shù cì huà jiě guò tā de wēi jī ， dàn yě bù guò shì yī cán pò de líng bǎo ér yǐ ， zhè shān shuǐ shàn suī zhǐ shì fǎng zhì zhī wù ， dàn wēi néng yě xǔ bú huì bǐ cán pò de mó yuán jiàn xiǎo de 。
魔缘剑可是数次化解过他的危机，但也不过是一残破的灵宝而已，这山水扇虽只是仿制之物，但威能也许不会比残破的魔缘剑小的。
Master Mo's voice continued: "The山水扇, a仿制灵bao, starting price one million middle-grade晶石, each increase must be at least fifty thousand."
zhè yàng de jī huì ， zì rán bù róng cuò guò ， rú guǒ yǒu kě néng ， lín xuān yě xiǎng jiāng qí jìng pāi xià lái de 。
这样的机会，自然不容错过，如果有可能，林轩也想将其竞拍下来的。
Lin Xuan couldn't help but draw in a cold breath. One million middle-grade晶stone equaled ten million according to the market exchange rate.
mò dà shī de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ shān shuǐ shàn ， fǎng zhì líng bǎo ， dǐ jià yì bǎi wàn jīng shí ， měi cì jiā jià ， bù dé xiǎo yú wǔ wàn 。”
莫大师的声音传入耳朵：“山水扇，仿制灵宝，底价一百万晶石，每次加价，不得小于五万。”
This amount was beyond the reach of even元婴 cultivators, let alone ordinary离合期 cultivators, who could only sigh with envy.
lín xuān tīng dào zhè lǐ ， yě bù yóu de dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì ， yì bǎi wàn zhōng pǐn jīng shí ， àn zhào shì jià de duì huàn bǐ lì ， jiù shì yī yì 。
林轩听到这里，也不由得倒吸了一口凉气，一百万中品晶石，按照市价的兑换比例，就是一亿。
It wasn't that they couldn't afford it; it just wasn't worth it. No cultivator would risk their family fortune for a single treasure.
zhè ge shù liàng ， bié shuō yuán yīng le ， jiù suàn shì yì bān lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， yě zhǐ yǒu wàng bǎo xīng tàn 。
这个数量，别说元婴了，就算是一般离合期修仙者，也只有望宝兴叹。
However, not all participants were ordinary. Many had considerable wealth, and some represented powerful factions, making their financial backing significant.
dào bú shì shuō ， tā men ná bù chū lái ， ér shì jí dù bù huá suàn bì jìng méi yǒu nǎ míng xiū xiān zhě ， huì wèi le yī jiàn bǎo wù ràng zì jǐ qīng jiā dàng chǎn 。
倒不是说，他们拿不出来，而是极度不划算毕竟没有哪名修仙者，会为了一件宝物让自己倾家dàng产。
The bidding price quickly rose to one million five hundred thousand. Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. The power of the山水扇 was comparable to that of the魔缘剑; it was a must-bid item.
dāng rán ， nà zhǐ shì duì yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ér yán ， néng gòu cān yù pāi mài ， zhè xiē xiū shì ， běn lái jiù pǒ wèi bù fán bù shǎo rén de shēn jiā ， dōu shù bèi yú tóng jiē cún zài 。
当然，那只是对一般的修仙者而言，能够参与拍卖，这些修士，本来就颇为不凡不少人的身家，都数倍于同阶存在。
"Two million!"
hé kuàng hái yǒu yī xiē rén ， zì shēn suī bù qǐ yǎn ， dàn tā lái dào zhè lǐ ， què shì dài biǎo mǒu dà shì lì ， qí yōng yǒu de cái lì ， yě shì bù róng xiǎo shì dì 。
何况还有一些人，自身虽不起眼，但他来到这里，却是代表某大势力，其拥有的财力，也是不容小视地。
Lin Xuan hesitated slightly before his cold voice echoed in everyone's ears.
suǒ yǐ jǐn guǎn dǐ jià gāo dé lí pǔ ， kě pāi mài yī kāi shǐ hòu cān yù jìng jià de xiū shì yī yàng hěn duō 。
所以尽管底价高得离谱，可拍卖一开始后参与竞价的修士一样很多。
The previously lively scene suddenly froze, and many turned their gaze towards the source of the sound.
jià gé yī lù xiàng shàng biāo shēng zhe ， chǎng miàn bǐ lín xuān gāng cái nà jiàn dài pāi zhī wù gèng wéi huǒ rè 。
价格一路像上飙升着，场面比林轩刚才那件代拍之物更为火热。
"Eh? Is that the guy who just bid for Master Wumei's cultivation technique?"
bù guò duǎn duǎn jǐ xī de gōng fu ， jià gé jiù bèi tuī gāo dào yì bǎi wǔ shí wàn le 。
不过短短几息的功夫，价格就被推高到一百五十万了。
"What technique? Just a broken item with no practical use."
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo 。
林轩眉头一挑。
A sly voice filled with envy entered their ears.
zhè shān shuǐ shàn de wēi néng jì rán kě yǐ yǔ mó yuán jiàn xiāng bǐ ， nà zì rán shì bù róng cuò guò dì ｏ
这山水扇的威能既然可以与魔缘剑相比，那自然是不容错过地ｏ
"Regardless, this guy is really rich."
“ liǎng bǎi wàn ！”
“两百万！”
"Maybe not. He might be a big fool."
lín xuān lüè yī chí yí ， qīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù le zhòng rén de ěr duǒ lǐ 。
林轩略一迟疑，清冷的声音传入了众人的耳朵里。
Lin Xuan didn't care about the crowd's gossip. He bid two million because he had his reasons.
yuán běn huǒ bào de chǎng miàn dùn shí yī zhì ， bù shǎo rén dōu mù dèng kǒu dāi ， jiāng mù guāng xiàng fā chū shēng yīn de dì fāng wàng lái 。
原本火爆的场面顿时一滞，不少人都目瞪口呆，将目光像发出声音的地方望来。
If he gradually increased the price and involved many cultivators, it could drive the price to an unimaginable level.
“ yí ， shì nà ge bāo xiāng gāng gāng bù jiù shì nà ge jiā huo ， pāi xià le wò méi chán shī de gōng fǎ ？”
“咦，是那个包厢刚刚不就是那个家伙，拍下了卧眉禅师的功法？”
He wasn't short of money; even if other cultivators in the Spirit Realm were wealthy, Lin Xuan believed that with determination, this treasure would end up in his hands. But that wouldn't be worth it.
“。 hēng ， shén me gōng fǎ ， bù guò shì yī cán quē bù quán zhī wù ， méi yǒu rèn hé yòng tú 。” yī suān liū liū de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn chōng mǎn le jí dù 。
“。亨，什么功法，不过是一残缺不全之物，没有任何用途。”一酸溜溜的声音传入耳朵，里面充满了嫉妒。
Money shouldn't be wasted.
“ bù guǎn rú hé ， zhè jiā huo zhēn shì tài yǒu qián le 。”
“不管如何，这家伙真是太有钱了。”
Instead of gradually increasing the bid, he decided to offer fifty thousand middle-grade晶stone at once. Even if he couldn't win the item, it would deter most from bidding.
“ nà kě bù yí dìng yě xǔ zhǐ shì yī yuān dà tóu 。”
“那可不一定也许只是一冤大头。”
This way, fewer competitors would remain, and the price wouldn't skyrocket.
duì yú zhòng rén de yì lùn lín xuān bù zài hū ， tā zhī suǒ yǐ zhè yàng jiā jià yě shì yǒu kǎo jiū ｏ
对于众人的议论林轩不在乎，他之所以这样加价也是有考究ｏ
Sure enough, as Lin Xuan had anticipated, someone made a generous bid. Master Mo didn't seem pleased; his face turned even more serious.
rú guǒ yì diǎn yì diǎn de jiā ， ràng zhòng duō xiū shì cān yù ， hěn yǒu kě néng jiāng cǐ bǎo de jià gé ， hōng tái dào yí gè bù kě sī yì de jìng dì 。
如果一点一点的加，让众多修士参与，很有可能将此宝的价格，哄抬到一个不可思议的境地。
Though he disapproved, he couldn't interfere with the auction process.
dāng rán lín xuān bú shì chū bù qǐ ， jiù suàn líng jiè xiū shì fù yù ， lín xuān xiāng xìn zhǐ yào zì jǐ xià dìng jué xīn sǐ pīn zuì hòu zhè jiàn bǎo wù yě huì luò rù zì jǐ de huái lǐ 。
当然林轩不是出不起，就算灵界修士富裕，林轩相信只要自己下定决心死拼最后这件宝物也会落入自己的怀里。
"Someone has bid two million middle-grade晶stone. Is there anyone willing to go higher?"
dàn nà yàng bù zhí 。
但那样不值。
"First call."
yǒu qián yě bú shì ná lái dǎ shuǐ piāo dì 。
有钱也不是拿来打水漂地。
"Second call."
yǔ qí yì diǎn yì diǎn de jiā jià ， bù rú yì kǒu qì yā shàng wǔ shí wàn jīng shí ， jiù suàn hái bù néng pāi xià bǎo wù ， yě zú yǐ jiāng dà bù fèn rén de niàn xiǎng dǎ xiāo le 。
与其一点一点的加价，不如一口气押上五十万晶石，就算还不能拍下宝物，也足以将大部分人的念想打消了。
But in the hall, it was unusually quiet. Many cultivators were still processing Lin Xuan's generous offer, even if they coveted the treasure, they knew their assets couldn't compete.
zhè yàng yī lái ， jìng zhēng zhě huì shǎo shàng xǔ duō ， jià gé yě bú huì bèi hōng tái zhì lí pǔ 。
这样一来，竞争者会少上许多，价格也不会被哄抬至离谱。
There were those who wanted to disrupt the auction, but they feared that if they bid and the other side didn't follow up...
guǒ rán ， zhèng rú lín xuān suǒ cāi xiǎng de ， yǒu rén rú cǐ dà shǒu bǐ de tái gāo jià gé ， mò dà shī bù jǐn bù xǐ ， liǎn sè fǎn ér yīn chén le xià qù 。
果然，正如林轩所猜想的，有人如此大手笔的抬高价格，莫大师不仅不喜，脸sè反而yīn沉了下去。
Such incidents had happened before; the offending cultivator was directly subjected to soul refinement. Without rules, such secret markets wouldn't function.
rán ér jí biàn xīn zhōng bù xǐ ， tā yě shì bù néng gān rǎo pāi mài jìn chéng dì 。
然而即便心中不喜，他也是不能干扰拍卖进程地。
Lin Xuan's heart leaped with joy. If he could get this treasure for just two million middle-grade晶stone, it would be a great bargain.
“ yǒu dào yǒu chū jià liǎng bǎi wàn jīng shí ， hái yǒu méi yǒu gèng gāo dì ？”
“有道友出价两百万晶石，还有没有更高地？”
"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
“ dì yī cì 。”
“第一次。”
However, good things take time. Before his thoughts were fully formed, an unfamiliar voice entered his ears.
“ dì èr cì 。”
“第二次。”
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. The voice came from the southwest corner of a private room, not that moneyed kid. For some reason, this voice gave him a strange feeling.
kě dà tīng zhōng què xiǎn de ān jìng yǐ jí ， bù shǎo xiū shì dōu hái chén jìn zài lín xuān de dà shǒu bǐ ， jiù suàn chuí xián bǎo wù ， kě yě gū mō zhe ， zì jǐ de shēn jiā ， shì pīn bù guò duì fāng de 。
可大厅中却显得安静以极，不少修士都还沉浸在林轩的大手笔，就算垂涎宝物，可也估mō着，自己的身家，是拼不过对方的。
How to describe it...
bú shì méi yǒu xiǎng yào dǎo luàn zhě ， kě yě hài pà wàn yī zì jǐ chū jià hòu ， duì fāng bù gēn le ．．．．．
不是没有想要捣乱者，可也害怕万一自己出价后，对方不跟了．．．．．
Pressure!
zhè yàng de shì qíng yǐ qián bìng fēi méi yǒu fā shēng guò ， nà dǎo luàn de xiū xiān zhě zhí jiē bèi chōu hún liàn pò ， méi yǒu guī jǔ bù chéng fāng yuán ， zhè zhǒng mì shì pāi mài ， qǐ róng xǔ xián zá rén děng dǎo luàn 。
这样的事情以前并非没有发生过，那捣乱的修仙者直接被抽hún炼魄，没有规矩不成方圆，这种秘市拍卖，岂容许闲杂人等捣乱。
As if facing someone higher in cultivation.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， rú guǒ qū qū liǎng bǎi wàn jīng shí jiù néng ná xià zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， zì jǐ kě suàn shì zhàn le dà biàn yí 。
林轩心中一喜，如果区区两百万晶石就能拿下这件宝物，自己可算是占了大便宜。
But how could that be?
“ liǎng bǎi èr shí wàn ！”
“两百二十万！”
He knew his own situation well.
rán ér hǎo shì duō mó ， tā xīn zhōng de niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， yī mò shēng de shēng yīn jiù chuán rù le ěr duǒ 。
然而好事多磨，他心中的念头尚未转过，一陌生的声音就传入了耳朵。
Though only at the early stage of 离合期, with the power from two婴 and one丹, he wouldn't hesitate against even late-stage monsters.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zhè shēng yīn ， lái zì xī nán jiǎo de yí gè bāo xiāng ， bìng bú shì nà xìng qián de xiǎo jiā huo ， bù zhī dào wèi shén me ， zhè shēng yīn dài gěi tā yī zhǒng fēi cháng qí yì de gǎn jué 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，这声音，来自西南角的一个包厢，并不是那姓钱的小家伙，不知道为什么，这声音带给他一种非常奇异的感觉。
Could it be...
zěn me shuō ne ．．…
怎么说呢．．…
Lin Xuan felt a chill. This was the Spirit Realm!
yā pò gǎn ！
压迫感！
Although he hadn't encountered high-ranking cultivators in months, even the so-called Ten Thousand Beast Venerable didn't bother him.
jiù fǎng fú miàn duì zì jǐ bǐ zì jǐ gèng gāo jiē de cún zài 。
就仿佛面对自己比自己更高阶的存在。
But this place was still part of the Spirit Realm; even insignificant interfaces had传说 of洞玄期 cultivators...
dàn bù kě néng a ！
但不可能啊！
However, these were just speculations with no basis. Lin Xuan couldn't abandon a potential treasure based on mere imagination.
zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ qīng chǔ 。
自己的情况自己清楚。
"Two hundred and thirty thousand!" he bid without expression.
suī rán jǐn jǐn shì lí hé chū qī ， dàn píng zhe shuāng yīng yī dān de shēn hòu fǎ lì ， jiù suàn shì miàn duì hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， yě jué bú huì dǎ chù 。
虽然仅仅是离合初期，但凭着双婴一丹的深厚法力，就算是面对后期的老怪物，也绝不会打怵。
"Two hundred and forty thousand!" the voice from the private room sounded impatient.
nán dào
难道
Lin Xuan frowned slightly but added another fifty thousand: "Two hundred and seventy thousand."
lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu diǎn fā hán le 。
林轩心中有点发寒了。
The sound of inhalation entered his ears. Such a high price had never been seen in Linhai City's history, even though he couldn't compete for the treasure, witnessing such an event was worth it.
zhè lǐ shì líng jiè ！
这里是灵界！
The cultivators below became excited, turning their heads to focus on another private room.
suī rán shù yuè yǐ lái ， tā bìng méi yǒu pèng jiàn gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn shì suǒ wèi de wàn shòu zūn zhě ， zì jǐ tóng yàng bù zài hū 。
虽然数月以来，他并没有碰见高阶修仙者，就算是所谓的万兽尊者，自己同样不在乎。
But no voice came from that direction.
kě zhè lǐ bì jìng shì líng jiè de ， jiù suàn shì zhū duō xiǎo jiè miàn zhōng bìng bù qǐ yǎn de yí gè ， tóng yàng yǒu zhe dòng xuán qī de chuán shuō ．．．．．
可这里毕竟是灵界的，就算是诸多小界面中并不起眼的一个，同样有着洞玄期的传说．．．．．
For him, two hundred and seventy thousand wasn't much. But buying a仿制灵bao at this price didn't make sense.
bù guò cāi cè jǐn jǐn shì cāi cè ， bì jìng sī háo gēn jù yě wú ， lín xuān bù kě néng píng yì diǎn yì xiǎng jiù fàng qì xiàn chéng de bǎo wù 。
不过猜测仅仅是猜测，毕竟丝毫根据也无，林轩不可能凭一点臆想就放弃现成的宝物。
After all, with his current strength, such items weren't rare. If it were a true灵宝, he would definitely bid higher.
“ liǎng bǎi sān shí wàn ！” tā miàn wú biǎo qíng de zài cì bào chū le yí gè jià gé 。
“两百三十万！”他面无表情的再次报出了一个价格。
"Two hundred and seventy thousand middle-grade晶stone. Good, the山水扇 belongs to this friend."
“ liǎng bǎi sì shí wàn ！” nà bāo xiāng zhōng de shēng yīn xiǎn de yǒu diǎn bù nài fán 。
“两百四十万！”那包厢中的声音显得有点不耐烦。
Master Mo sighed in relief. Although the final price was slightly lower than expected, it was still acceptable.
Fangzhi Lingbao!
Master Mo's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
After a brief silence, a series of inhalation sounds could be heard. Even in the Spirit Realm,顶级灵宝 were extremely rare treasures. Most cultivators present had only heard about them; few had actually seen one with their own eyes.
