shǎo qǐng zhī hòu ， tā tái qǐ tóu lú ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū xī xiào zhī sè 。
少顷之后，他抬起头颅，嘴角边露出嬉笑之色。
Awhile later, Lin Xuan raised his head, a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
“ zǐ yáng cǎo ， zhǐ yào wèi yǐ hòu zhè zhǒng líng wù ， jiù kě yǐ xùn sù chǎn luǎn 。”
“紫阳草，只要喂蚁后这种灵物，就可以迅速产卵。”
"Purple Yang Grass. Just feed it to the queen ant, and it can quickly produce eggs."
fàng xià yù tóng jiǎn ， lín xuān méi yǒu gǎn dào shén me yā lì yǔ kùn nán ， zǐ yáng cǎo suī rán bù néng shuō shì cháng jiàn zhī wù ， dàn yě jué suàn bù shàng zhēn xī yào cái ， fāng shì zhōng jiù yǒu mài 。
放下玉瞳简，林轩没有感到什么压力与困难，紫阳草虽然不能说是常见之物，但也绝算不上珍稀药材，坊市中就有卖。
After putting down the Jade Pupil Scroll, Lin Xuan didn't feel any pressure or difficulty. Although Purple Yang Grass wasn’t a common herb, it certainly wasn’t rare either; it could be found in the market.
huàn jù huà shuō ， zhǐ yào yǒu jīng shí jiù bù nán 。
换句话说，只要有晶石就不难。
In other words, as long as he had crystal stones, it wouldn’t be difficult to obtain.
ér lín xuān xiàn zài ， kě shì fù dé liú yóu ” cuī shú yù luó fēng yǒu kùn nán ， dàn xiǎng yào dà liàng fán zhí xuè huǒ yǐ ， què bù guò jǔ shǒu zhī láo ér yǐ 。
而林轩现在，可是富得流油”催熟玉罗蜂有困难，但想要大量繁殖血火蚁，却不过举手之劳而已。
Currently, Lin Xuan was rich enough that even cultivating the matured jade lotus bee was troublesome, but breeding blood fire ants would be a mere effort.
yǐ hòu zì jǐ duì dí ， yòu néng duō shàng yí gè shā shǒu jiǎn ， lín xuān nǎ néng bù xǐ 。
以后自己对敌，又能多上一个杀手锏，林轩哪能不喜。
With this new ability, he could add another trump card when facing enemies in the future. How could Lin Xuan not be pleased?
zhè dà huāng hǎi yù suī rán pín jí ， dàn jì rán yǒu nà me duō xiū shì jù jū ， xiǎng lái fāng shì yīng gāi hái shì yǒu dì 。
这大荒海域虽然贫瘠，但既然有那么多修士聚居，想来坊市应该还是有地。
Although the Great Vast Sea Region was barren, with so many cultivators living here, there should still be markets in the city.
gǎi rì wèn wèn yàn ér jiù hǎo 。
改日问问雁儿就好。
He would ask Yan'er about it later.
lín xuān zhèng zhè yàng sī liáng ， wài miàn de jìn zhì jiù chuán lái le yì yàng 。
林轩正这样思量，外面的禁制就传来了异样。
As Lin Xuan pondered this, a strange sensation came from outside the禁制.
tā xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu měng rán fǎn yìng guò lái ， zì jǐ zài dòng fǔ zhōng yǐ zú zú dài le sān shí tiān ， shàng cì duì tú ér fēn fù ， yí yuè zhī hòu kě lái bài huì zì jǐ ， shí jiān ， zhēn zǒu guò dé hǎo kuài 。
他先是一呆，随后猛然反应过来，自己在洞府中已足足待了三十天，上次对徒儿吩咐，一月之后可来拜会自己，时间，真走过得好快。
At first, he was taken aback. Then he suddenly realized that he had been in his cave for thirty days. His disciple had asked him to come and visit after a month, but time had passed so quickly.
lín xuān lüè zuò shū xǐ ， rán hòu lái dào le dòng fǔ wài miàn 。
林轩略作梳洗，然后来到了洞府外面。
Lin Xuan tidied himself up before heading out of the cave.
liǎng wèi shào nǚ shù shǒu ér lì ， shàng guān yàn shì gōng jìng yǐ jí ， zhì yú shàng guān líng nà yā tou ， zé shì yī liǎn de qǐ pàn zhī yì 。
两位少女束手而立，上官雁是恭敬以极，至于上官翎那丫头，则是一脸的企盼之意。
Two young women stood respectfully; Shangguan Yan was extremely respectful, while Shangguan Ling looked forward with anticipation.
rán ér cǐ nǚ de jīng shén zhuàng tài què bù zěn me hǎo ， shàng cì tīng jiě jiě shuō ， lín qián bèi yǒu kě néng shōu zì jǐ wèi tú ， tā 〖 xīng 〗 fèn dé jī hū yí gè yuè ， méi yǒu shuì zháo jué 。
然而此女的精神状态却不怎么好，上次听姐姐说，林前辈有可能收自己为徒，她〖兴〗奋得几乎一个月，没有睡着觉。
However, her mental state wasn’t good. Last time she heard that Senior Lin might take her as a disciple, she had been so excited that she hadn’t slept for days. Now, she knelt before him: "To be able to serve you as my teacher is the fortune of several lifetimes. Just like Sister's vow, I will do anything for the sect if it calls me."
lián xiū xíng dǎ zuò ， dōu shí cháng chū cuò ， yǒu yī cì hái chà diǎn zǒu huǒ 。
连修行打坐，都时常出错，有一次还差点走火。
Her clear voice echoed in his ears, her face resolute.
yě bù guài tā ， yǔ jiě jiě xiāng bǐ ， shàng guān líng běn lái jiù yào tiān zhēn yī xiē ， xīn zhì bù gòu chéng shú ， xiǎng xiàng zhe néng bài zhè me yī wèi dà gāo shǒu zuò shī fù ， cóng cǐ yǐ hòu ， xiū xíng yī piàn tǎn tú ” yě nán guài tā 〖 xīng 〗 fèn le 。
也不怪她，与姐姐相比，上官翎本来就要天真一些，心智不够成熟，想象着能拜这么一位大高手做师傅，从此以后，修行一片坦途”也难怪她〖兴〗奋了。
Lin Xuan nodded. "Good. Extend your hand; let me see how talented you are."
kàn jiàn lín xuān chū lái ， liǎng nǚ lián máng yíng yíng yī fú 。
看见林轩出来，两女连忙盈盈一福。
"Yes!"
“ yàn ér gěi shī fù jiàn lǐ 。”
“雁儿给师傅见礼。”
A blush spread across the girl’s face as she extended her wrist. Lin Xuan placed his hand on her pulse.
“ líng ér bài jiàn qián bèi 。”
“翎儿拜见前辈。”
After a moment, he withdrew his hand. "Not bad. Your talent is similar to Yan's, an ice attribute spirit root."
shàng guān líng de shēng yīn zhōng tòu zhe jǐn zhāng zhī sè ” huàn dé huàn shī xiǎn lù wú yí ， lín xuān zé méi yǒu biǎo shì ， zài dòng fǔ zhōng dài le nà me jiǔ ， tā yě xiǎng hū xī hū xī xīn xiān kōng qì ， yú shì biàn dài zhe liǎng nǚ lái dào bù yuǎn chù de liáng tíng lǐ 。
上官翎的声音中透着紧张之色”患得患失显露无疑，林轩则没有表示，在洞府中待了那么久，他也想呼吸呼吸新鲜空气，于是便带着两女来到不远处的凉亭里。
"Senior, then... will you take me under your wing?"
lín xuān luò zuò ” liǎng nǚ zì rán shì gōng jìng de shì lì zài yī páng de 。
林轩落座”两女自然是恭敬的侍立在一旁的。
Lin Xuan smiled without speaking. This girl was really innocent; she still didn’t understand the obvious meaning of his words.
“ yàn ér ， rù wǒ mén lái ， yǐ hòu kě néng yù jiàn de wēi xiǎn ， nǐ kě duì líng ér shuō qǐ 。”
“雁儿，入我门来，以后可能遇见的危险，你可对翎儿说起。”
"Silly girl, what are you waiting for? Call me master."
“ shì 。”
“是。”
Seeing her sister’s confusion, Shangguan Yan finally couldn't help but interject.
shàng guān yàn yíng yíng yī fú ：“ dì zǐ yǐ jīng gěi xiǎo mèi xiáng xì jiě shuō ， méi yǒu sī háo yǐn mán de 。”
上官雁盈盈一福：“弟子已经给小妹详细解说，没有丝毫隐瞒的。”
Shangguan Ling was overjoyed and knelt before Lin Xuan to perform a grand拜师礼.
“ ń 。”
“嗯。”
Lin Xuan sighed. He hadn’t expected to take on two disciples so quickly, even if they were just nominal ones.
lín xuān zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， tā yě jiù zhè me yī wèn bà le ， yǐ shàng guān yàn de cōng míng ， zhè xiē xiǎo shì ， yuán běn yě bù yòng cāo xīn 。
林轩转过头颅，他也就这么一问罢了，以上官雁的聪明，这些小事，原本也不用操心。
"Get up; I don’t have many formalities. Respect is in your heart, no need for such formalities."
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zì jǐ hái shì yīng gāi qīn kǒu què dìng ：“ líng ér ” rù wǒ mén lái ， yǐ hòu kě néng yù jiàn kě pà de wēi xiǎn ， dí rén zhī qiáng dà ” yuǎn chāo nǐ de xiǎng xiàng ， yí bù xiǎo xīn ， jiù yǒu fěn shēn suì gǔ zhī huò ， duò rù jiǔ yōu ， shèn zhì hún fēi pò sàn ” wǒ zhè jù huà ， jué fēi xū yán dòng hè ， hūn ………… huán yuàn yì bài rù wǒ de mén xià me ？”
但不管如何，自己还是应该亲口确定：“翎儿”入我门来，以后可能遇见可怕的危险，敌人之强大”远超你的想象，一不小心，就有粉身碎骨之祸，堕入九幽，甚至魂飞魄散”我这句话，绝非虚言恫吓，婚…………还愿意拜入我的门下么？”
"Yes!"
shàng guān líng de biǎo qíng yě yán sù qǐ lái ， cǐ nǚ lián bù qīng yí ， lái dào lín xuān de qián miàn ， shuāng xī yī ruǎn ” guì le xià lái ：“ néng bài qián bèi wèi shī ” shì líng ér jǐ shì xiū lái de fú qì ” jiě jiě de shì yán ， líng ér yě shì yī yàng dì ， yǐ hòu shī mén ruò yǒu zhào huàn ， bì fù tāng dǎo huǒ ” bǎi sǐ yě bú huì yǒu fēn háo yuàn yán 。”
上官翎的表情也严肃起来，此女莲步轻移，来到林轩的前面，双膝一软”跪了下来：“能拜前辈为师”是翎儿几世修来的福气”姐姐的誓言，翎儿也是一样地，以后师门若有召唤，必赴汤蹈火”百死也不会有分毫怨言。”
The two girls behaved obediently.
qīng cuì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shào nǚ zhì nèn de miàn róng shàng mǎn shì jiān dìng zhī sè ， dàn lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ hǎo ” nǐ jiāng shǒu shēn chū ” wǒ kàn kàn nǐ zī zhì rú hé 。”
清脆的声音传入耳朵，少女稚嫩的面容上满是坚定之色，但林轩点了点头：“好”你将手伸出”我看看你资质如何。”
"Alright, I will teach you spells later. Now, there’s something I need to ask," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
“ shì ！”
“是！”
"Master, please speak. As long as the disciple knows, they will answer without reservation," Shangguan Yan spoke obediently, and her sister nodded in agreement.
shào nǚ liǎn shàng yī hóng ” rú bái yù rǎn shàng le yī céng fēi sè ， jiāng hào wàn shēn chū ， lín xuān zé jiāng shǒu dā zài tā de mài bó 。
少女脸上一红”如白玉染上了一层绯色，将皓腕伸出，林轩则将手搭在她的脉搏。
"Don’t be nervous; it’s just a small matter. I want to know where the largest market is around here."
shǎo qǐng ” lín xuān suō huí shǒu ：“ bù cuò ， nǐ de zī zhì ， yǔ yàn ér dào yě xiāng chà fǎng fú ， nǎi shì bīng shǔ xìng de yì líng gēn 。”
少顷”林轩缩回手：“不错，你的资质，与雁儿倒也相差仿佛，乃是冰属性的异灵根。”
"The master wants to buy something? The disciple can handle that."
“ qián bèi ， nà …… nǐ kě yuàn yì shǒu xià wǒ 。”
“前辈，那……你可愿意手下我。”
"That won’t be necessary. I plan to go out for a walk as well. You only need to tell me the direction," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
lín xuān xiào ér bù yǔ ， zhè yā tou hái zhēn shì mán tiān zhēn dì ” zì jǐ yǐ jīng jiāng huà shuō dé nà yàng míng xiǎn ， tā jū rán hái shì méi yǒu tīng chū lái 。
林轩笑而不语，这丫头还真是蛮天真地”自己已经将话说得那样明显，她居然还是没有听出来。
"The largest market is too far away, and what’s there isn’t worth your attention. Tomorrow is the twenty-first of腊月, the day of the market. Master, why don’t we all go together?" Shangguan Ling's clear voice echoed in his ears.
“ shǎ yā tou ， hái lèng zhe gàn shén me ” kuài jiào shī fù 。”
“傻丫头，还愣着干什么”快叫师傅。”
"Market?" Lin Xuan showed a hint of surprise. He had been on the path to immortality for eight hundred years and hadn’t heard about markets before.
kàn jiàn mèi mèi yī liǎn mí hū ， shàng guān yàn zhōng yú rěn bú zhù bāng qiāng le 。
看见妹妹一脸迷糊，上官雁终于忍不住帮腔了。
Seeing his confusion, the two sisters began to explain.
shàng guān líng dà xǐ ， gōng gōng jìng jìng de xiàng lín xuān guì le xià qù ， xíng qǐ bài shī dà lǐ 。
上官翎大喜，恭恭敬敬的像林轩跪了下去，行起拜师大礼。
"Master, the Great Vast Sea Region is different from elsewhere; it’s remote with scarce resources. Despite having many cultivators, there aren’t enough markets here. To make up for this, they started holding markets."
lín xuān zé tàn le kǒu qì ， tā yě bù céng xiǎng guò ， zì jǐ huì zhè me kuài ， jiù shōu xià liǎng gè tú ér ， suī rán jǐn jǐn shì jì míng dì zǐ 。
林轩则叹了口气，他也不曾想过，自己会这么快，就收下两个徒儿，虽然仅仅是记名弟子。
"Yes!" After her sister finished speaking, Shangguan Ling continued: "A market is like learning from ordinary people in the world. It’s not very special; everyone picks a particular day and exchanges what they don’t need with others at a specific location. Everyone is both a buyer and seller."
“ hǎo le ， qǐ lái ， wèi shī méi yǒu nà me duō guī jǔ ， gōng jìng shì fàng zài xīn dǐ ， píng shí yòng bù zhe rú cǐ duō lǐ 。”
“好了，起来，为师没有那么多规矩，恭敬是放在心底，平时用不着如此多礼。”
"Ah, I see. But it seems similar to low-rank cultivators setting up stalls in the market," Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead as he pondered.
“ shì ！”， liǎng nǚ biǎo xiàn dé hěn guāi de yàng zi 。
“是！”，两女表现得很乖的样子。
"There are some similarities, but there’s a significant difference. Cultivators can’t match the scale of the market on Fish Island. Practically all the cultivators and major factions from the Great Vast Sea Region gather here for one day only, so everyone tries to bring their best items,"
“ ń ” wèi shī yǐ hòu zài jiào nǐ men fǎ shù ， xiàn zài yǒu yī jiàn shì qíng ， xū yào wèn yī wèn 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“嗯”为师以后再教你们法术，现在有一件事情，需要问一问。”林轩微笑着说。
"Only one day each year? That's quite short."
“ shī fù qǐng shuō ， tú ér zhǐ yào xiǎo de ， zì rán shì zhī wú bù yán de 。”， shàng guān yàn shí fēn guāi qiǎo de kāi kǒu ， qí mèi yě lián lián diǎn tóu 。
“师傅请说，徒儿只要晓得，自然是知无不言的。”，上官雁十分乖巧的开口，其妹也连连点头。
The two girls nodded, with Shangguan Ling speaking last: "Although the Great Vast Sea Region is barren, it still produces some good things. The market is a yearly event, and even sea creatures like the Shark King’s clan come here."
“ bù yòng jǐn zhāng ， zhǐ shì xiǎo shì yī zhuāng ， wèi shī xiǎng yào xiǎo de ， zhè fù jìn zuì dà de fāng shì zài hé chù 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“不用紧张，只是小事一桩，为师想要晓得，这附近最大的坊市在何处。”林轩微笑着说。
"Sea creatures, you mean the Shark King's lineage?" Lin Xuan showed some surprise.
“ shī fù xiǎng yào mǎi dōng xī ， tú ér dài láo jiù kě yǐ 。”
“师傅想要买东西，徒儿代劳就可以。”
"Yes."
“ zhè dào bù bì ， wèi shī yě dǎ suàn chū qù zǒu yī zǒu ， mí men zhǐ yào gào sù wǒ fāng wèi jiù xíng le 。”
“这倒不必，为师也打算出去走一走，弥们只要告诉我方位就行了。”
Hearing what his disciples said, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but ponder.
“ zuì dà de fāng shì ， jù lí zhè lǐ tài yuǎn le xiē ， hé kuàng nà ér de dōng xī ， shī fù duō bàn yě kàn bù shàng yǎn dì ， míng tiān shì là yuè èr shí yī ， zhèng hǎo shì yī nián yī dù gǎn jí de rì zi ， shī fù ， gān cuì nǐ * wǒ yǔ jiě jiě yì qǐ ， zán men qù gǎn jí 。“ shàng guān líng qīng cuì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“最大的坊市，距离这里太远了些，何况那儿的东西，师傅多半也看不上眼地，明天是腊月二十一，正好是一年一度赶集的日子，师傅，干脆你*我与姐姐一起，咱们去赶集。“上官翎清脆的声音传入耳朵里。
As one of the six kings of the sea race, the Shark King’s lineage had formidable strength that shouldn’t be underestimated. Their participation in the market indicated how significant this event was.
“ gǎn jí ？” lín xuān yǎn zhōng liú lù chū yī sī chà yì ” tā tà rù xiān tú ” yǐ yǒu bā bǎi nián zhī jiǔ le ” zhè gǎn jí shì shén me ， hái què rán bù céng tīng shuō guò 。
“赶集？”林轩眼中流露出一丝诧异”他踏入仙途”已有八百年之久了”这赶集是什么，还确然不曾听说过。
"Would you like to go too?"
fǎng fú kàn chū le shī zūn de yí huò ， liǎng jiě mèi jī jī zhā zhā de jiě shì qǐ lái le 。
仿佛看出了师尊的疑惑，两姐妹叽叽喳喳的解释起来了。
Lin Xuan turned and looked at the two girls before him.
“ qǐ bǐng shī fù ， dà huāng hǎi yù yǔ bié chù bù tóng ， dì chǔ huāng pì ， xiāng duì lái shuō ， zī yuán jiào wéi pín jí ” piān piān xiū shì shù liàng yòu shì jí duō ， yú shì fāng shì de liàng jiù lüè xiǎn bù zú ， wèi le mí bǔ ， zhè ér jiù xīng qǐ le gǎn jí 。”
“启禀师傅，大荒海域与别处不同，地处荒僻，相对来说，资源较为贫瘠”偏偏修士数量又是极多，于是坊市的量就略显不足，为了弥补，这儿就兴起了赶集。”
"Yes, the disciple wants to see more," Shangguan Yan bowed respectfully with a solemn expression on her face.
“ shì a ！” jiě jiě huà yīn gāng luò ” shàng guān líng qīng cuì de shēng yīn jiù jiē zhe chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ suǒ wèi gǎn jí ， qí shí hái shì xiàng shì sú fán rén xué xí ， shuō chuān le méi yǒu fēn háo xī qí ， jiù shì dà jiā tiāo yí gè tè bié de rì zi ， jiāng shǒu zhōng de yòng bù shàng de cái liào ná chū lái ， dào yí gè tè dìng de dì diǎn jiāo huàn ” rén rén dōu shì mǎi zhǔ ， tóng shí rén rén yě dōu shì lái mài dōng xī de 。”
“是啊！”姐姐话音刚落”上官翎清脆的声音就接着传入耳朵：“所谓赶集，其实还是像世俗凡人学习，说穿了没有分毫稀奇，就是大家挑一个特别的日子，将手中的用不上的材料拿出来，到一个特定的地点交换”人人都是买主，同时人人也都是来卖东西的。”
Although Lin Xuan appeared kind, she didn’t dare act presumptuous. Compared to others of her age, she was more mature and steady. With proper training, she could handle things independently.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ ， bù guò zhè yǔ dī jiē xiū shì dào fāng shì bǎi tān ， sì hū yě fēi cháng de xiāng sì 。” lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， chén yín zhe shuō 。
“原来如此，不过这与低阶修士到坊市摆摊，似乎也非常的相似。”林轩以手抚额，沉吟着说。
Shangguan Ling was different; this girl was lively and younger. She had fewer concerns and fears. Since they established a master-disciple relationship, she felt very close to Lin Xuan. The little girl moved closer and held his arm: "Please take me with you and Sister so we can learn more."
“ shì yǒu jǐ fēn xiàng de ， bù guò hái shì yǒu hěn dà bù tóng ， xiū shì zài fāng shì bǎi tān ， bì jìng guī mó yǒu xiàn ， nǎ néng yǔ jiāng yú dǎo de gǎn jí xiāng bǐ ， kě yǐ shuō zhěng gè dà huāng hǎi yù de xiū shì ” gè dà shì lì ” jī hū dū huì qí jù yú cǐ ， ér qiě gǎn jí jǐn yǒu yī tiān ， suǒ yǐ dà jiā dū huì jǐn liàng jiāng hǎo dōng xī ná chū lái 。”
“是有几分像的，不过还是有很大不同，修士在坊市摆摊，毕竟规模有限，哪能与江鱼岛的赶集相比，可以说整个大荒海域的修士”各大势力”几乎都会齐聚于此，而且赶集仅有一天，所以大家都会尽量将好东西拿出来。”
"Shangguan Ling, don’t be disrespectful," Shangguan Yan was shocked; her sister was too impulsive. After just becoming a disciple, she used this tactic. What if the master got angry...
“ zhǐ yǒu yī tiān ， yī nián jǔ xíng zhè me yī cì ？”
“只有一天，一年举行这么一次？”
"Master, my sister is young and doesn’t understand things yet."
nǚ diǎn le diǎn tóu ， zuì hòu hái shì yóu shàng guān líng kāi kǒu ：“ jiā huāng hǎi yù suī rán pín jí ” dàn duō shǎo yě huì chū chǎn xiē xǔ hǎo dōng xī ， gǎn jí gèng shì yī nián yī dù de shèng shì ， tōng cháng lián hǎi zú yě huì lái cǐ 。”
女点了点头，最后还是由上官翎开口：“夹荒海域虽然贫瘠”但多少也会出产些许好东西，赶集更是一年一度的盛事，通常连海族也会来此。”
"Fengyan, you don’t need to explain. Ling is just more innocent and childlike. I wouldn’t hold it against her; after all, they are my nominal disciples," Lin Xuan sighed as he spoke about Moer and Qinxin.
“ hǎi zú ， nǐ shì shuō kuáng shā wáng yī xì ？” lín xuān yǎn zhōng liú lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì 。
“海族，你是说狂鲨王一系？”林轩眼中流露出几分诧异。
Seeing his expression turn somber, the two girls exchanged glances and didn’t dare speak again.
“ shì 。”
“是。”
After a long while, Shangguan Ling finally opened her mouth: "Master, don’t be sad. Sister and I will definitely take good care of you."
tīng liǎng gè tú ér zhè me shuō ， lín xuān yǎn zhōng bù yóu de lù chū le chén yín zhī sè 。
听两个徒儿这么说，林轩眼中不由得露出了沉吟之色。
Hearing this childlike language, Lin Xuan laughed softly. He took a deep breath and put away his melancholy. Why should he act like a woman and be overly sentimental? Although they were temporarily separated, the path to immortality was long; one day, they would meet again. Lin Xuan had no doubt about it.
zuò wéi hǎi zú liù wáng zhī yī ， kuáng shā wáng yī mài yōng yǒu de shí lì jué duì bù róng qīng rǔ ， lián tā men yě huì lái gǎn jí ， kě jiàn zhè shèng shì què shí yǒu pāo de kě qǔ 。
作为海族六王之一，狂鲨王一脉拥有的实力绝对不容轻辱，连他们也会来赶集，可见这盛事确实有抛的可取。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan’s expression turned calm: "Alright, there’s no need for begging. Since you want to go, I’ll take both of you with me to the market."
“ chēng men yě xiǎng qù ？”
“称们也想去？”
"Thank you, master,"
lín xuān zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， wàng xiàng shēn qián de liǎng nǚ 。
林轩转过头颅，望向身前的两女。
The two girls were overjoyed and bowed respectfully. Shangguan Yan was intelligent; she could sense Lin Xuan’s character—merciless towards enemies but very kind to his own people. To be able to serve such a master was truly their good fortune.
“ shì ， tú ér yě xiǎng chū qù cháng cháng jiàn shí 。”
“是，徒儿也想出去长长见识。”
With Lin Xuan's personality, once he decided on something, he wouldn’t hesitate. It was tomorrow, the day of the market, and time was short. Leading the two girls out of the cave, Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, and a faint green light appeared in front of him—a small spirit boat.
shàng guān yàn dī méi shùn mù ， bào quán xíng le yī lǐ ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì gōng jìng zhī yì ， lín xuān suī rán biǎo xiàn dé hěn cí hé ， dàn tā què sī háo yě bù gǎn chí chǒng ér jiāo ， yǔ tóng líng rén xiāng bǐ ， cǐ nǚ gèng jiā wěn zhòng ， gèng jiā chéng shú ” rú guǒ hǎo hǎo mó lì ， dú dāng yī miàn yě méi yǒu wèn tí 。
上官雁低眉顺目，抱拳行了一礼，脸上满是恭敬之意，林轩虽然表现得很慈和，但她却丝毫也不敢持宠而骄，与同龄人相比，此女更加稳重，更加成熟”如果好好磨砺，独当一面也没有问题。
Although it was smaller than expected, it could still accommodate all three of them. He asked the disciples to board first before heading to the stern of the boat. After changing the crystal stone for fresh ones, he cast a spell, enveloping the spirit boat in a green glow that transformed into a streak of lightning flying towards the horizon...!~!
Awhile later, Lin Xuan raised his head, a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Purple Yang Grass. Just feed it to the queen ant, and it can quickly produce eggs."
After putting down the Jade Pupil Scroll, Lin Xuan didn't feel any pressure or difficulty. Although Purple Yang Grass wasn’t a common herb, it certainly wasn’t rare either; it could be found in the market.
In other words, as long as he had crystal stones, it wouldn’t be difficult to obtain.
Currently, Lin Xuan was rich enough that even cultivating the matured jade lotus bee was troublesome, but breeding blood fire ants would be a mere effort.
With this new ability, he could add another trump card when facing enemies in the future. How could Lin Xuan not be pleased?
Although the Great Vast Sea Region was barren, with so many cultivators living here, there should still be markets in the city.
He would ask Yan'er about it later.
As Lin Xuan pondered this, a strange sensation came from outside the禁制.
At first, he was taken aback. Then he suddenly realized that he had been in his cave for thirty days. His disciple had asked him to come and visit after a month, but time had passed so quickly.
Lin Xuan tidied himself up before heading out of the cave.
Two young women stood respectfully; Shangguan Yan was extremely respectful, while Shangguan Ling looked forward with anticipation.
However, her mental state wasn’t good. Last time she heard that Senior Lin might take her as a disciple, she had been so excited that she hadn’t slept for days. Now, she knelt before him: "To be able to serve you as my teacher is the fortune of several lifetimes. Just like Sister's vow, I will do anything for the sect if it calls me."
Her clear voice echoed in his ears, her face resolute.
Lin Xuan nodded. "Good. Extend your hand; let me see how talented you are."
"Yes!"
A blush spread across the girl’s face as she extended her wrist. Lin Xuan placed his hand on her pulse.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand. "Not bad. Your talent is similar to Yan's, an ice attribute spirit root."
"Senior, then... will you take me under your wing?"
Lin Xuan smiled without speaking. This girl was really innocent; she still didn’t understand the obvious meaning of his words.
"Silly girl, what are you waiting for? Call me master."
Seeing her sister’s confusion, Shangguan Yan finally couldn't help but interject.
Shangguan Ling was overjoyed and knelt before Lin Xuan to perform a grand拜师礼.
Lin Xuan sighed. He hadn’t expected to take on two disciples so quickly, even if they were just nominal ones.
"Get up; I don’t have many formalities. Respect is in your heart, no need for such formalities."
"Yes!"
The two girls behaved obediently.
"Alright, I will teach you spells later. Now, there’s something I need to ask," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Master, please speak. As long as the disciple knows, they will answer without reservation," Shangguan Yan spoke obediently, and her sister nodded in agreement.
"Don’t be nervous; it’s just a small matter. I want to know where the largest market is around here."
"The master wants to buy something? The disciple can handle that."
"That won’t be necessary. I plan to go out for a walk as well. You only need to tell me the direction," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"The largest market is too far away, and what’s there isn’t worth your attention. Tomorrow is the twenty-first of腊月, the day of the market. Master, why don’t we all go together?" Shangguan Ling's clear voice echoed in his ears.
"Market?" Lin Xuan showed a hint of surprise. He had been on the path to immortality for eight hundred years and hadn’t heard about markets before.
Seeing his confusion, the two sisters began to explain.
"Master, the Great Vast Sea Region is different from elsewhere; it’s remote with scarce resources. Despite having many cultivators, there aren’t enough markets here. To make up for this, they started holding markets."
"Yes!" After her sister finished speaking, Shangguan Ling continued: "A market is like learning from ordinary people in the world. It’s not very special; everyone picks a particular day and exchanges what they don’t need with others at a specific location. Everyone is both a buyer and seller."
"Ah, I see. But it seems similar to low-rank cultivators setting up stalls in the market," Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead as he pondered.
"There are some similarities, but there’s a significant difference. Cultivators can’t match the scale of the market on Fish Island. Practically all the cultivators and major factions from the Great Vast Sea Region gather here for one day only, so everyone tries to bring their best items,"
"Only one day each year? That's quite short."
The two girls nodded, with Shangguan Ling speaking last: "Although the Great Vast Sea Region is barren, it still produces some good things. The market is a yearly event, and even sea creatures like the Shark King’s clan come here."
"Sea creatures, you mean the Shark King's lineage?" Lin Xuan showed some surprise.
"Yes."
Hearing what his disciples said, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but ponder.
As one of the six kings of the sea race, the Shark King’s lineage had formidable strength that shouldn’t be underestimated. Their participation in the market indicated how significant this event was.
"Would you like to go too?"
Lin Xuan turned and looked at the two girls before him.
"Yes, the disciple wants to see more," Shangguan Yan bowed respectfully with a solemn expression on her face.
Although Lin Xuan appeared kind, she didn’t dare act presumptuous. Compared to others of her age, she was more mature and steady. With proper training, she could handle things independently.
Shangguan Ling was different; this girl was lively and younger. She had fewer concerns and fears. Since they established a master-disciple relationship, she felt very close to Lin Xuan. The little girl moved closer and held his arm: "Please take me with you and Sister so we can learn more."
"Shangguan Ling, don’t be disrespectful," Shangguan Yan was shocked; her sister was too impulsive. After just becoming a disciple, she used this tactic. What if the master got angry...
"Master, my sister is young and doesn’t understand things yet."
"Fengyan, you don’t need to explain. Ling is just more innocent and childlike. I wouldn’t hold it against her; after all, they are my nominal disciples," Lin Xuan sighed as he spoke about Moer and Qinxin.
Seeing his expression turn somber, the two girls exchanged glances and didn’t dare speak again.
After a long while, Shangguan Ling finally opened her mouth: "Master, don’t be sad. Sister and I will definitely take good care of you."
Hearing this childlike language, Lin Xuan laughed softly. He took a deep breath and put away his melancholy. Why should he act like a woman and be overly sentimental? Although they were temporarily separated, the path to immortality was long; one day, they would meet again. Lin Xuan had no doubt about it.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan’s expression turned calm: "Alright, there’s no need for begging. Since you want to go, I’ll take both of you with me to the market."
"Thank you, master,"
The two girls were overjoyed and bowed respectfully. Shangguan Yan was intelligent; she could sense Lin Xuan’s character—merciless towards enemies but very kind to his own people. To be able to serve such a master was truly their good fortune.
With Lin Xuan's personality, once he decided on something, he wouldn’t hesitate. It was tomorrow, the day of the market, and time was short. Leading the two girls out of the cave, Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, and a faint green light appeared in front of him—a small spirit boat.
Although it was smaller than expected, it could still accommodate all three of them. He asked the disciples to board first before heading to the stern of the boat. After changing the crystal stone for fresh ones, he cast a spell, enveloping the spirit boat in a green glow that transformed into a streak of lightning flying towards the horizon...!~!
