dì èr jiàn yā zhòu de bǎo wù yě yǒu le guī shǔ ， zhòng xiū shì de xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le xiàn mù ， bì jìng fǎng zhì líng bǎo duì tā men lái shuō ， nǎi shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú zhī wù 。
第二件压轴的宝物也有了归属，众修士的心中充满了羡慕，毕竟仿制灵宝对他们来说，乃是可遇而不可求之物。
The second and final top-tier treasure had found its owner, leaving the other cultivators with a mix of envy and admiration. After all, replicating spirit treasures was something that only came along once in a blue moon for them.
kě jí dù méi yǒu yòng tú ， pāi mài huì yě bìng méi yǒu jié shù ， hái yǒu zuì hòu yī jiàn yā zhòu de bǎo wù 。
可嫉妒没有用途，拍卖会也并没有结束，还有最后一件压轴的宝物。
However, jealousy served no purpose as the auction wasn't over yet; there was still one more top-tier treasure to be revealed.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， dà tīng zhōng xiǎn de ān jìng yǐ jí ， rén rén dōu jiāng mù guāng tóu xiàng zhàn zài tái shàng de mò dà shī ， bì jìng lián fǎng zhì líng bǎo dōu chū xiàn le ， nà zhè zuì hòu yī jiàn dōng xī ， yòu jiāng huì shì zěn yàng de bù kě sī yì 。
此时此刻，大厅中显得安静以极，人人都将目光投向站在台上的莫大师，毕竟连仿制灵宝都出现了，那这最后一件东西，又将会是怎样的不可思议。
The hall fell silent at this moment, everyone's eyes fixed on Master Mo standing on the stage. After all, with even a replica spirit treasure appearing, what could the final item possibly be?
mò hén de liǎn shàng ， tóng yàng mǎn shì xīng fèn zhī sè 。
莫痕的脸上，同样满是兴奋之色。
Master Mo’s face also showed excitement.
zhè yī cì bù yòng tā dòng shǒu ， páng biān de ān xiān zi yǐ jiāng zuì hòu yí gè chǔ wù dài ná dào le zhǎng zhōng 。
这一次不用他动手，旁边的安仙子已将最后一个储物袋拿到了掌中。
This time, he didn’t need to do anything; Fairy An had already taken the last storage bag in her hand.
yù shǒu yī fú ， yī dào guāng xiá shǎn guò ， yí gè zhǎng kuān jiē bù guò shù cùn de zhèng fāng xíng mù hé jiù chū xiàn zài yǎn pīn le 。
玉手一拂，一道光霞闪过，一个长宽皆不过数寸的正方形木盒就出现在眼拼了。
With a wave of her jade hand, a flash of light appeared, and a small wooden box no more than a few inches long and wide suddenly materialized before everyone's eyes.
biǎo miàn hái tiē yǒu liǎng zhāng jìn zhì fú zhuàn 。
表面还贴有两张禁制符篆。
It was adorned with twoprohibitive talisman, one purple and the other silver. The tiny runes on their surfaces shimmered faintly, indicating that these weren’t ordinary restrictions.
yī zhāng sǎn sè ， yī zhāng yín sè 。
一张伞色，一张银色。
Everyone’s expressions turned even more expectant as Master Mo took a step back, seemingly preparing for Fairy An to take over the auction.
fú zhuàn biǎo miàn ， yǐn yǐn kě yǐ kàn jiàn mǐ lì dà xiǎo de fú wén tūn tǔ ， xiǎn rán lián zhè liǎng zhāng jìn zhì zhī fú ， dōu bú shì fán wù 。
符篆表面，隐隐可以看见米粒大小的符文吞吐，显然连这两张禁制之符，都不是凡物。
The cultivators were momentarily stunned but didn’t question it; they still cared about the treasure.
zhòng rén de biǎo qíng yuè fā qī dài le 。
众人的表情越发期待了。
Fairy An opened her mouth and spat out a stream of green energy that wrapped around the twotalisman. With a snap, the contents of the box appeared before their eyes.
ér nà wèi mò dà shī jìng tuì hòu yī bù ， fǎng fú zhè zuì hòu de pāi mài jiāng yóu ān xiān zi zhǔ chí 。
而那位莫大师竟退后一步，仿佛这最后的拍卖将由安仙子主持。
"Ah?" Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. It was a deep red fruit, somewhat familiar but he couldn’t recall where he had seen it.
zhòng rén bù yóu de yī dāi ， dàn yě bú huì qù zhuī jiū shén me ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā men zài yì de hái shì bǎo wù 。
众人不由得一呆，但也不会去追究什么，此时此刻，他们在意的还是宝物。
"What is this?"
cǐ nǚ zhāng kāi tán kǒu ， yī dào qīng qì pēn chū ， jiāng nà liǎng zhāng fú zhuàn yī guǒ ， pā de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hé zhōng de shì wù jiù yìng rù yǎn lián le 。
此女张开檀口，一道青气喷出，将那两张符篆一裹，啪的一声传入耳朵，盒中的事物就映入眼帘了。
The cultivators were enraged, but in truth, most of them were condensation core cultivators who were usually mature and level-headed. Even if they didn’t see the true nature of the fruit, they still thought that the market wouldn’t play a meaningless joke on its customers.
“ yí ？” lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， nà shì yī shēn hóng sè de zhū guǒ ， kàn zhe yǒu diǎn yǎn shú ， dàn zài nǎ lǐ jiàn guò ， yī shí piàn kè ， què yòu zěn me yě xiǎng bù qǐ lái le 。
“咦？”林轩眼睛微眯，那是一深红色的朱果，看着有点眼熟，但在哪里见过，一时片刻，却又怎么也想不起来了。
Facing their accusations, Fairy An said nothing. Instead, her hands moved like butterflies as she cast spell after spell. The deep red fruit began to change dramatically.
“ zhè shì shén me ？”
“这是什么？”
First, a faint light enveloped it, then an unusual fragrance spread out. The cultivators who were still shouting suddenly closed their mouths; they weren’t fools and could tell that this wasn’t just any ordinary spirit fruit.
zhòng xiū shì tóng yàng dà gǎn jīng è ， méi xiǎng dào qī dài le bàn tiān ， zuì hòu de bǎo wù ， què shì yī bù zhī míng de yì guǒ 。
众修士同样大感惊愕，没想到期待了半天，最后的宝物，却是一不知名的异果。
The scent was so intense that it made them feel refreshed, but this was only the beginning.
“ qí lín guǒ ， dǐ jià wǔ bǎi wàn jīng shí ……”
“麒麟果，底价五百万晶石……”
"Quickly!"
chū hū yì liào de ， nà ān xiān zi xìng gé lěng mò yǐ jí ， yán yǔ jiān jìng méi yǒu fēn háo jiě shì 。
出乎意料的，那安仙子性格冷漠以极，言语间竟没有分毫解释。
Fairy An pointed her finger forward while opening her mouth to release a highly refined essence energy. The true essence entered the fruit, causing its light to change.
ér tā huà yīn gāng luò ， xià miàn yǐ yī piàn gǔ zào shēng chuán chū 。
而她话音刚落，下面已一片鼓噪声传出。
A flicker of light followed, and a miniature qilin about an inch in size materialized before everyone’s eyes.
“ yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò qí lín guǒ ， shì miàn shàng suī rán bù duō ， dàn yě bù suàn shén me xī hǎn wù ， yī méi guǒ zi ， zhǐ xū yào shí méi xià pǐn jīng shí mí kě shì bǎ wǒ men dāng shǎ zi 。”
“有没有搞错麒麟果，市面上虽然不多，但也不算什么稀罕物，一枚果子，只需要十枚下品晶石弥可是把我们当傻子。”
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted!
“ jiù shì ， zhè dōng xī ， fán rén fú yòng ， yǒu qiáng shēn jiàn tǐ de xiào guǒ ， dī jiē xiū shì chī le ， yě jù yǒu xiē xǔ duàn tǐ de zuò yòng ， dàn duì níng dān qī yǐ shàng de xiū xiān zhě ， jiù jī hū shì háo wú yòng tú zuì duō wèi dào hái suàn bú cuò ， mài wǔ bǎi wàn zhōng pǐn jīng shí ， nǐ men shì bú shì fēng le 。”
“就是，这东西，凡人服用，有强身健体的效果，低阶修士吃了，也具有些许锻体的作用，但对凝丹期以上的修仙者，就几乎是毫无用途最多味道还算不错，卖五百万中品晶石，你们是不是疯了。”
This wasn’t an illusion; he could feel the pure power emanating from the qilin’s tiny body. It wasn’t spirit energy but seemed similar to the Qi Erliu within his primordial spirit, just with different attributes.
mǎn qiāng de qī dài huà wèi nù huǒ ， zhòng xiū shì suǒ shuō de huà yǔ ， xiǎn de shì yuè fā de jiān suān kè bó lín xuān què méi tóu wēi zhòu ， guài bù dé gǎn jué yǎn shú ， bù guò zhè qí lín guǒ ， zì jǐ yě céng jīng fú yòng guò yǎn qián zhè kē ， què míng xiǎn yǒu hěn dà bù tóng 。
满腔的期待化为怒火，众修士所说的话语，显得是越发的尖酸刻薄林轩却眉头微皱，怪不得感觉眼熟，不过这麒麟果，自己也曾经服用过眼前这颗，却明显有很大不同。
Lin Xuan sighed. This was clearly beyond what he had access to.
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……
Although he didn’t fully understand it, its value was evident. Fairy An stopped her actions, and all the phenomena disappeared. The qilin then sank back into the fruit.
lín xuān bù dòng shēng sè ， xià miàn què yǐ shì qún qíng xiōng yǒng ， rán ér nà wèi ān xiān zi liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， què gǔ jǐng wú bō ， yīng chún wēi qǐ ， lěng hēng shēng chuán le chū qù ：“ yī qún méi yǒu jiàn shí de jiā huo 。”
林轩不动声色，下面却已是群情汹涌，然而那位安仙子脸上的表情，却古井无波，樱唇微启，冷哼声传了出去：“一群没有见识的家伙。”
However, she still kept a cold expression on her face, leaving everyone puzzled. Although they knew this spirit fruit was extraordinary, what use it had remained unclear, making them unsure how to bid.
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
Master Mo beside him looked amused.
zhòng xiū shì dà nù bù guò píng xīn lái shuō ， gāng cái gǔ zào de ， yě yǐ níng dān qī xiū shì jū duō ， néng gòu níng jié yuán yīng chéng gōng de ， xiū wèi gāo yī xiē zàn qiě bù shuō dà duō yě dōu lǎo chéng chí zhòng ， jiù suàn méi yǒu kàn chū nà qí lín guǒ lìng yǒu xuán ào zài lǐ tou ， yě jué de fāng shì bú huì chī bǎo le chēng de wú duān xì shuǎ gù kè 。
众修士大怒不过平心来说，刚才鼓噪的，也以凝丹期修士居多，能够凝结元婴成功的，修为高一些暂且不说大多也都老成持重，就算没有看出那麒麟果另有玄奥在里头，也觉得坊市不会吃饱了撑的无端戏耍顾客。
"A cough. Let me introduce it. This is indeed a qilin fruit, but not the ordinary kind you can find in the market; it’s an exquisite qilin fruit."
miàn duì zhòng rén de zhǐ zé ， ān xiān zi méi yǒu duō shuō ér shì shuāng shǒu rú chuān huā hú dié bān fēi wǔ ， yī dào yòu yī dào de fǎ jué dǎ chū ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， nà shēn hóng sè de zhū guǒ zhòu rán fā shēng biàn huà le 。
面对众人的指责，安仙子没有多说而是双手如穿huā蝴蝶般飞舞，一道又一道的法诀打出，随着她的动作，那深红色的朱果骤然发生变化了。
"What? An exquisite qilin fruit? Could this be that legendary..."
xiān shì yī céng méng méng de guāng yùn cóng shàng miàn sàn fà ér chū ， jiāng zhěng kē líng guǒ bāo zhù ， suí hòu yòu yì xiāng fā chū 。
先是一层蒙蒙的光韵从上面散发而出，将整颗灵果包住，随后又异香发出。
Before she could finish, someone shouted from below. There were many knowledgeable cultivators present.
yuán běn hái zài fēn fēn gǔ zào de xiū xiān zhě ， jiàn le cǐ mù ， yí gè èr gè ， bù yóu de dōu jiāng zuǐ bā bì shàng le ， tā men suī rán qīng fú ， dàn bì jìng bú shì shǎ guā ， zhè zhǒng yì xiàng ， qǐ huì shì pǔ tōng de líng wù suǒ yōng yǒu 。
原本还在纷纷鼓噪的修仙者，见了此幕，一个二个，不由得都将嘴巴闭上了，他们虽然轻浮，但毕竟不是傻瓜，这种异象，岂会是普通的灵物所拥有。
"Ha ha, I see some friends have heard of it. Indeed, for ordinary condensation core cultivators like us, the common qilin fruits are practically useless. But an exquisite one is different; legend has it that these fruits are blessed by the qilin and possess incredible effects. Ordinary cultivators who consume them will burst from the immense medicinal power..."
nà xiāng wèi ér nóng yù yǐ jí ， wén le lìng rén shū shuǎng wú bǐ ， rán ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ 。
那香味儿浓郁以极，闻了令人舒爽无比，然而这仅仅是开始。
"Ah, so whoever eats it dies?" The cultivators below were shocked. Such a dangerous item was not something anyone would be foolish enough to spend five million spirit stones on.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
"Hmph, I said that’s for ordinary cultivators. But if you practice the illusion beast technique or the Bodhisattva sect’s body forging techniques, or are above the transformation stage, consuming this fruit will bring great benefits. It can cleanse and purify your essence, refining your body to an incredible degree. Even with just your bare hands, you might be able to withstand a peer’s innate treasure..."
nà ān xiān zi shēn zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ， tóng shí zhāng kāi tán kǒu ， pēn chū yī dào jīng chún yǐ jí de yuán lì 。
那安仙子伸指向前点去，同时张开檀口，喷出一道精纯以极的元力。
"What?"
nà zhēn yuán mò rù xiān guǒ ， qí biǎo miàn de guāng yùn dùn shí fā shēng biàn huà le 。
那真元没入仙果，其表面的光韵顿时发生变化了。
"Is it true?"
yī zhèn shǎn shuò ， suí hòu jìng rán huàn huà chū yī cùn xǔ dà xiǎo de mí nǐ qí lín lái le 。
一阵闪烁，随后竟然幻化出一寸许大小的迷你麒麟来了。
Master Mo’s words didn’t finish as the cultivators below began shouting in surprise. Human cultivators who practiced body forging techniques were not uncommon, but those who could withstand their peers’ innate treasures were extremely rare.
lín xuān tóng kǒng fú wēi suō ！
林轩瞳孔佛微缩！
However, with this fruit, even human cultivators could achieve such feats; it was hard to imagine.
zhè kě bú shì huàn shù ， cóng nà qí lín xiǎo qiǎo yǐ jí de shēn tǐ zhōng ， tā gǎn jué dào yī jīng chún yǐ jí de lì liàng ， bú shì líng lì ， yǔ dǎo wù fēn shēn nèi dān zhōng hán yǒu de qí èr lǚ lì liàng dào yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì ， zhǐ shì shǔ xìng bù tóng de yàng zi 。
这可不是幻术，从那麒麟小巧以极的身体中，他感觉到一精纯以极的力量，不是灵力，与祷杌分身内丹中含有的祁二缕力量倒有几分相似，只是属性不同的样子。
Many doubted it, but a few old monsters had greedy expressions on their faces.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， kàn lái zhè shì zì jǐ shàng wèi néng jiē chù dào de céng cì 。
林轩叹了口气，看来这是自己尚未能接触到的层次。
The exquisite qilin fruits indeed existed in ancient texts.
suī rán bù tài qīng chǔ ， dàn cǐ wù de bǎo guì yǐ shì xiǎn ér yì jiàn de ， suí hòu ān xiān zi tíng xià le shǒu lǐ de dòng zuò ， suǒ yǒu de yì xiàng yě dōu xiāo shī bú jiàn le ， suí hòu nà qí lín yě mò rù le zhū guǒ 。
虽然不太清楚，但此物的宝贵已是显而易见的，随后安仙子停下了手里的动作，所有的异象也都消失不见了，随后那麒麟也没入了朱果。
Who would have thought they would appear at an auction? Regardless, he must get one.
kě cǐ nǚ yī jiù shuāng chún jǐn bì ， yī liǎn de lěng ào yǐ jí ， zhè fù biǎo qíng ， ràng zhòng xiū shì miàn miàn xiāng qù ， suī rán dōu zhī dào zhè líng guǒ fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn yǒu shén me yòng tú chēng bù shuō ， ràng dà jiā zěn me dòng shǒu pāi mài ， bì jìng bù zhī dào duì zì jǐ yǒu méi yǒu yòng tú 。
可此女依旧双唇紧闭，一脸的冷傲以极，这副表情，让众修士面面相觑，虽然都知道这灵果非同小可，但有什么用途称不说，让大家怎么动手拍卖，毕竟不知道对自己有没有用途。
Compared to the others’ intense determination, Lin Xuan remained indifferent.
páng biān de mò dà shī yě lù chū kū xiào bù dé zhī sè 。
旁边的莫大师也露出哭笑不得之色。
He had no intention of competing; after all, he had the Azure Star Sea territory.
yī shēng qīng ké ：“ ké ， hái shì ràng zài xià lái jiè shào hǎo le ， bù cuò ， zhè shì qí lín guǒ ， dàn què bú shì shì miàn shàng kě yǐ suí yì kàn jiàn de pǔ tōng zhī wù ， ér shì jí pǐn qí lín guǒ “”
一声轻咳：“咳，还是让在下来介绍好了，不错，这是麒麟果，但却不是市面上可以随意看见的普通之物，而是极品麒麟果“”
However, whether this fruit truly possessed such divine effects would need verification once the auction ended. He needed to check ancient texts.
“ shén me ， jí pǐn qí lín guǒ ， nán dào shì nà chuán shuō zhōng de ……”
“什么，极品麒麟果，难道是那传说中的……”
Lin Xuan suppressed his excitement as the auction began. The bids were few, given that five million spirit stones was a significant sum for ordinary separation stage cultivators who might have to sell all their possessions to afford it. Thus, only a handful participated in the bidding.
huà yīn wèi luò ， yī jīng hū shēng jiù chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xià miàn zhè me duō xiū xiān zhě ， zì rán bù fá jiàn shí guǎng bó 。
话音未落，一惊呼声就传入耳朵，下面这么多修仙者，自然不乏见识广博。
But these few were clearly wealthy.
“ hē hē ， kàn lái yǐ jīng yǒu dào yǒu tīng shuō guò ， bù cuò ， pǔ tōng qí lín guǒ ， duì yú wǒ děng níng dān qī yǐ shàng de xiū xiān zhě ， què shí méi yǒu duō dà yòng tú ， dàn jí pǐn de ， què bù xiāng tóng ， chuán shuō nà shì bèi qí lín zhù fú zhī wù ， jù yǒu bù kě sī yì de xiào guǒ ， pǔ tōng xiū shì tūn fú le ， huì yīn wèi chéng shòu bú zhù jù dà de yào lì ， zhí jiē bào tǐ ……”
“呵呵，看来已经有道友听说过，不错，普通麒麟果，对于我等凝丹期以上的修仙者，确实没有多大用途，但极品的，却不相同，传说那是被麒麟祝福之物，具有不可思议的效果，普通修士吞服了，会因为承受不住巨大的药力，直接爆体……”
One of them was even at the condensation core stage and seemed to represent a large faction.
“ a ， nà qǐ bù shì shuí chī shuí sǐ ？” xià miàn de xiū shì dà gǎn jīng è ， zhè zhǒng wēi xiǎn de dōng xī ， shuí huì shǎ shǎ de huā shàng wǔ bǎi wàn jīng shí 。
“啊，那岂不是谁吃谁死？”下面的修士大感惊愕，这种危险的东西，谁会傻傻的huā上五百万晶石。
Despite the few bidders, the scene remained incredibly intense.
“ hēng ， lǎo fū shuō le ， nà shì pǔ tōng de xiū shì ， dàn ruò shì xiū liàn nǐ yāo shù huò zhě fú zōng duàn tǐ shén tōng de dào yǒu ， zài huò zhě huà xíng yǐ shàng de yāo zú ， chī le cǐ wù ， zé dà yǒu hǎo chù ， yì jīng xǐ suǐ ， tā de shēn tǐ ， jiāng chuí liàn dào yī bù kě sī yì de chéng dù ， jiù suàn píng ròu shēn yìng káng tóng jiē de běn mìng fǎ bǎo ， yě wèi bì shì bù kě néng de ……”
“哼，老夫说了，那是普通的修士，但若是修炼拟妖术或者佛宗锻体神通的道友，再或者化形以上的妖族，吃了此物，则大有好处，易经洗髓，他的身体，将锤炼到一不可思议的程度，就算凭肉身硬扛同阶的本命法宝，也未必是不可能的……”
The price quickly soared to eight million spirit stones within half an hour.
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
Lin Xuan couldn’t help but nod in admiration. He had underestimated the wealth in the Spirit Realm; he hadn’t won the Waterfall Fan because of his greatest wealth but because others didn’t participate in the bidding.
“ zhēn de jiǎ de ？”
“真的假的？”
After all, everyone’s situation was different, and their needs varied.
mò hén huà yīn wèi luò ， xià miàn yǐ shì jīng hū shēng yī piàn le ， rén zú xiū liàn duàn tǐ shén tōng de xiū shì zàn qiě bù shuō ， yāo zú yīn wèi tiān fù de yuán gù ， bù shǎo ròu shēn dōu shì fēi cháng jiān yìng de 。
莫痕话音未落，下面已是惊呼声一片了，人族修炼煅体神通的修士暂且不说，妖族因为天赋的缘故，不少肉身都是非常坚硬的。
Eight million spirit stones were a staggering sum for ordinary cultivators. This auction set new records, making it one of the most prosperous in centuries.
dàn yě yǒu yí gè dù ， yìng káng tóng jiē de běn mìng fǎ bǎo ， zhè yàng biāo hàn de jiā huo bú shì méi yǒu ， dàn jǐn xiàn yú jí shǎo shù tiān dì líng zú ， ér qiě shì liáo liáo kě shǔ 。
但也有一个度，硬扛同阶的本命法宝，这样彪悍的家伙不是没有，但仅限于极少数天地灵族，而且是寥寥可数。
In the past, even top-tier treasures rarely sold for over a million spirit stones.
fú yòng le cǐ bǎo ， rén zú xiū shì yě kě yǐ zuò dào ， zhè jiǎn zhí bù gǎn xiǎng xiàng 。
服用了此宝，人族修士也可以做到，这简直不敢想象。
This time was indeed unusual; was this just a coincidence or something more?
hěn duō rén zhì yí ， dàn yě yǒu shǎo shù lǎo guài wù liǎn shàng mǎn shì tān lán zhī sè 。
很多人质疑，但也有少数老怪物脸上满是贪婪之色。
Lin Xuan’s thoughts raced as a clear voice echoed through the hall.
jí pǐn qí lín guǒ ， diǎn jí shàng què shí shì yǒu jì zǎi de 。
极品麒麟果，典籍上确实是有记载的。
"Eight hundred and twenty thousand..."
méi xiǎng dào huì zài de pāi mài huì shàng jiàn dào zhè yàng de tiān dì líng bǎo ， wú lùn rú hé ， zì jǐ yě yào de dào 。
没想到会在的拍卖会上见到这样的天地灵宝，无论如何，自己也要得到。
The bidder was a young woman in white robes, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face that still had a hint of innocence. Her cultivation stage was middle-stage condensation core.
yǔ nà xiē rén àn píng jué xīn xiāng bǐ ， lín xuān zé xiǎn de dàn rán yǐ jí 。
与那些人暗平决心相比，林轩则显得淡然以极。
She was one of the two remaining bidders.
tā kě sī háo yě méi yǒu cān jiā zhēng duó zhī yì ， fǎn zhèng zì jǐ shì yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi dì 。
他可丝毫也没有参加争夺之意，反正自己是有蓝色星海地。
Although the exquisite qilin fruit was rare and mysterious, eight hundred thousand spirit stones was too much for it to be worth.
bù guò qí lín guǒ shì fǒu zhēn yǒu zhè yàng de shén xiào ， děng pāi mài huì jié shù ， hái yào qù fān yī fān xiāng guān de gǔ jí 。
不过麒麟果是否真有这样的神效，等拍卖会结束，还要去翻一翻相关的古籍。
But before she could finish, a cold voice came from one of the private rooms.
lín xuān yā yì zhe xīn zhōng de xīng fèn zhī yì ， ér dǐ xià de pāi mài ， yě yǐ jīng kāi shǐ 。
林轩压抑着心中的兴奋之意，而底下的拍卖，也已经开始。
"Nine million..."
chū jià zhī rén bù duō ， bì jìng wǔ bǎi wàn jīng shí ， bú shì yí gè xiǎo shù zì ， pǔ tōng de lí hé chū qī xiū shì ， jiù suàn shì zá guō mài tiě ， yě bù yí dìng néng gòu còu zú ， gù ér cān jiā zhēng duó de ， zhǐ yǒu liáo liáo jǐ gè 。
出价之人不多，毕竟五百万晶石，不是一个小数字，普通的离合初期修士，就算是砸锅卖铁，也不一定能够凑足，故而参加争夺的，只有寥寥几个。
The tone didn’t reveal any emotion but made Lin Xuan feel familiar. He had just competed with this person over a replica spirit treasure; if he hadn’t guessed wrong, there was a fifty percent chance it was a legendary daoist of the Profound Profundity stage.
rán ér zhè jǐ gè jiā huo ， wú yí bú shì cái dà qì cū 。
然而这几个家伙，无疑不是财大气粗。
Just passing by and participating in the auction casually.
zuì ràng rén wú yǔ de shì ， qí zhōng hái yǒu yī míng níng dān qī ， bù guò hěn xiǎn rán ， tā shì dài biǎo yī páng dà shì lì 。
最让人无语的是，其中还有一名凝丹期，不过很显然，他是代表一庞大势力。
The white-robed woman’s expression froze as the other party seemed to have a large budget, increasing the bid to nine million spirit stones.
gù ér zhēng duó zhī rén suī rán bù duō ， dàn chǎng miàn ， què yī jiù huǒ bào dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
故而争夺之人虽然不多，但场面，却依旧火爆到无以复加的地步。
She hesitated for a moment but decided to go for it. If her grandmother consumed this...
bù guò duǎn duǎn bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， jià gé jiù bào zēng dào bā bǎi wàn le 。
不过短短半盏茶的功夫，价格就暴增到八百万了。
"Nine hundred and five thousand spirit stones..."

林轩也不由得暗暗咋舌，看来自己还是小看了灵界的富庶，刚才自己能够将山水扇拍到手中，也不是因为身家最丰厚，而是有一些家伙，根本就没有参与争夺。
A crisp voice echoed, making everyone in the hall exchange glances. Even Master Mo was surprised and pleased; although the exquisite qilin fruit was valuable, no one had expected such an exorbitant price.
bì jìng měi gè rén qíng kuàng bù tóng ， xū yào de bǎo wù yě shì jiǒng yì de 。
毕竟每个人情况不同，需要的宝物也是迥异的。
The white-robed woman remained calm, but to her, the high price of the spirit stones seemed like a mere number.

八百万，对于一般的修士，简直叹为观止，这次拍卖会，也一再刷新成交的价格，算是百年来最火爆的一次。
Lin Xuan sucked in his breath as well. The other party’s wealth and power were impressive; he might even be outmatched by them in terms of assets.
The second and final top-tier treasure had found its owner, leaving the other cultivators with a mix of envy and admiration. After all, replicating spirit treasures was something that only came along once in a blue moon for them.
However, jealousy served no purpose as the auction wasn't over yet; there was still one more top-tier treasure to be revealed.
The hall fell silent at this moment, everyone's eyes fixed on Master Mo standing on the stage. After all, with even a replica spirit treasure appearing, what could the final item possibly be?
Master Mo’s face also showed excitement.
This time, he didn’t need to do anything; Fairy An had already taken the last storage bag in her hand.
With a wave of her jade hand, a flash of light appeared, and a small wooden box no more than a few inches long and wide suddenly materialized before everyone's eyes.
It was adorned with twoprohibitive talisman, one purple and the other silver. The tiny runes on their surfaces shimmered faintly, indicating that these weren’t ordinary restrictions.
Everyone’s expressions turned even more expectant as Master Mo took a step back, seemingly preparing for Fairy An to take over the auction.
The cultivators were momentarily stunned but didn’t question it; they still cared about the treasure.
Fairy An opened her mouth and spat out a stream of green energy that wrapped around the twotalisman. With a snap, the contents of the box appeared before their eyes.
"Ah?" Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. It was a deep red fruit, somewhat familiar but he couldn’t recall where he had seen it.
"What is this?"
The cultivators were enraged, but in truth, most of them were condensation core cultivators who were usually mature and level-headed. Even if they didn’t see the true nature of the fruit, they still thought that the market wouldn’t play a meaningless joke on its customers.
Facing their accusations, Fairy An said nothing. Instead, her hands moved like butterflies as she cast spell after spell. The deep red fruit began to change dramatically.
First, a faint light enveloped it, then an unusual fragrance spread out. The cultivators who were still shouting suddenly closed their mouths; they weren’t fools and could tell that this wasn’t just any ordinary spirit fruit.
The scent was so intense that it made them feel refreshed, but this was only the beginning.
"Quickly!"
Fairy An pointed her finger forward while opening her mouth to release a highly refined essence energy. The true essence entered the fruit, causing its light to change.
A flicker of light followed, and a miniature qilin about an inch in size materialized before everyone’s eyes.
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted!
This wasn’t an illusion; he could feel the pure power emanating from the qilin’s tiny body. It wasn’t spirit energy but seemed similar to the Qi Erliu within his primordial spirit, just with different attributes.
Lin Xuan sighed. This was clearly beyond what he had access to.
Although he didn’t fully understand it, its value was evident. Fairy An stopped her actions, and all the phenomena disappeared. The qilin then sank back into the fruit.
However, she still kept a cold expression on her face, leaving everyone puzzled. Although they knew this spirit fruit was extraordinary, what use it had remained unclear, making them unsure how to bid.
Master Mo beside him looked amused.
"A cough. Let me introduce it. This is indeed a qilin fruit, but not the ordinary kind you can find in the market; it’s an exquisite qilin fruit."
"What? An exquisite qilin fruit? Could this be that legendary..."
Before she could finish, someone shouted from below. There were many knowledgeable cultivators present.
"Ha ha, I see some friends have heard of it. Indeed, for ordinary condensation core cultivators like us, the common qilin fruits are practically useless. But an exquisite one is different; legend has it that these fruits are blessed by the qilin and possess incredible effects. Ordinary cultivators who consume them will burst from the immense medicinal power..."
"Ah, so whoever eats it dies?" The cultivators below were shocked. Such a dangerous item was not something anyone would be foolish enough to spend five million spirit stones on.
"Hmph, I said that’s for ordinary cultivators. But if you practice the illusion beast technique or the Bodhisattva sect’s body forging techniques, or are above the transformation stage, consuming this fruit will bring great benefits. It can cleanse and purify your essence, refining your body to an incredible degree. Even with just your bare hands, you might be able to withstand a peer’s innate treasure..."
"What?"
"Is it true?"
Master Mo’s words didn’t finish as the cultivators below began shouting in surprise. Human cultivators who practiced body forging techniques were not uncommon, but those who could withstand their peers’ innate treasures were extremely rare.
However, with this fruit, even human cultivators could achieve such feats; it was hard to imagine.
Many doubted it, but a few old monsters had greedy expressions on their faces.
The exquisite qilin fruits indeed existed in ancient texts.
Who would have thought they would appear at an auction? Regardless, he must get one.
Compared to the others’ intense determination, Lin Xuan remained indifferent.
He had no intention of competing; after all, he had the Azure Star Sea territory.
However, whether this fruit truly possessed such divine effects would need verification once the auction ended. He needed to check ancient texts.
Lin Xuan suppressed his excitement as the auction began. The bids were few, given that five million spirit stones was a significant sum for ordinary separation stage cultivators who might have to sell all their possessions to afford it. Thus, only a handful participated in the bidding.
But these few were clearly wealthy.
One of them was even at the condensation core stage and seemed to represent a large faction.
Despite the few bidders, the scene remained incredibly intense.
The price quickly soared to eight million spirit stones within half an hour.
Lin Xuan couldn’t help but nod in admiration. He had underestimated the wealth in the Spirit Realm; he hadn’t won the Waterfall Fan because of his greatest wealth but because others didn’t participate in the bidding.
After all, everyone’s situation was different, and their needs varied.
Eight million spirit stones were a staggering sum for ordinary cultivators. This auction set new records, making it one of the most prosperous in centuries.
In the past, even top-tier treasures rarely sold for over a million spirit stones.
This time was indeed unusual; was this just a coincidence or something more?
Lin Xuan’s thoughts raced as a clear voice echoed through the hall.
"Eight hundred and twenty thousand..."
The bidder was a young woman in white robes, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face that still had a hint of innocence. Her cultivation stage was middle-stage condensation core.
She was one of the two remaining bidders.
Although the exquisite qilin fruit was rare and mysterious, eight hundred thousand spirit stones was too much for it to be worth.
But before she could finish, a cold voice came from one of the private rooms.
"Nine million..."
The tone didn’t reveal any emotion but made Lin Xuan feel familiar. He had just competed with this person over a replica spirit treasure; if he hadn’t guessed wrong, there was a fifty percent chance it was a legendary daoist of the Profound Profundity stage.
Just passing by and participating in the auction casually.
The white-robed woman’s expression froze as the other party seemed to have a large budget, increasing the bid to nine million spirit stones.
She hesitated for a moment but decided to go for it. If her grandmother consumed this...
"Nine hundred and five thousand spirit stones..."
A crisp voice echoed, making everyone in the hall exchange glances. Even Master Mo was surprised and pleased; although the exquisite qilin fruit was valuable, no one had expected such an exorbitant price.
The white-robed woman remained calm, but to her, the high price of the spirit stones seemed like a mere number.
Lin Xuan sucked in his breath as well. The other party’s wealth and power were impressive; he might even be outmatched by them in terms of assets.
