zì jǐ zài líng dòng qī de shí hòu ， dān lùn rú hé ， dōu jué duì zuò bú dào zhè yì diǎn de 。
自己在灵动期的时候，丹论如何，都绝对做不到这一点的。
During his Flexible Spirit Period, Lin Xuan could never have achieved this with the Dan Theory.
qí tā rén yě dà wèi jīng è , yǎn zhōng dū lù chū le gǎn xìng qù zhī sè 。
其他人也大为惊愕,眼中都露出了感兴趣之色。
Others were equally astonished, their eyes filled with interest.
“ zhè dōng xī , zěn me mài ？, shuō huà de shì yī zào páo lǎo zhě ， tóng yàng yě shì yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě 。
“这东西,怎么卖？,说话的是一皂袍老者，同样也是元婴期修仙者。
"How much does it cost?" spoke an old man in a black robe. He was also an Advanced Core Formation cultivator.
“ liǎng wàn zhōng pǐn jīng shí 。, zhǎng guì wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“两万中品晶石。,掌柜微笑着说。
"Two hundred thousand middle-grade crystal stones," the shopkeeper smiled.
“ shén me ？, zhōu wéi de rén jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ tīng cuò , liǎng wàn zhōng pǐn jīng shí ， hé liǎng bǎi wàn xià pǐn jīng shí , jiù suàn shì bù cuò de fǎ bǎo , dōu zú yǐ mǎi shàng shù jiàn zhī duō , zhè líng qì gù rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě , dàn hái shì jí bù shàng pǔ tōng fǎ bǎo de wēi lì , mǎi xī , qǐ bù shì chī duō le ？
“什么？,周围的人几乎以为自己听错,两万中品晶石，合两百万下品晶石,就算是不错的法宝,都足以买上数件之多,这灵器固然非同小可,但还是及不上普通法宝的威力,买牺,岂不是吃多了？
"What? !" The people around almost thought they had heard wrong. Two hundred thousand middle-grade crystal stones equaled two million lower-grade ones. Even if it were a decent magical treasure, one could buy several with that amount. This spiritual artifact was indeed something special, but it still couldn't match the power of ordinary magical treasures. Buying this, wouldn’t be overpaying?
yóu qí zhè dà huāng hǎi yù ， běn lái jiù zī yuán pín tāo ， yǔ qí tā dì fāng de tóng jiē xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， zhè ér de xiū xiān zhě yě yào náng zhōng xiū sè yī xiē 。
尤其这大荒海域，本来就资源贫涛，与其他地方的同阶修士相比，这儿的修仙者也要囊中羞涩一些。
Especially in the Great Vast Sea region, resources were scarce compared to other places. The cultivators here had even less wealth than their counterparts.
liǎng bǎi wàn jīng shí ， pǔ tōng yuán yīng qī xiū shì bú shì ná bù chū , dàn jiù suàn shì wèi zì jǐ mǎi bǎo wù , yě yào zài sān zhēn zhuó ， ér zhè jiàn líng qì , suī rán kàn shàng qù bù cuò ， dàn zì jǐ què gēn běn jiù yòng bù shàng de ， mǎi gěi xiǎo bèi , tā men yòu rú hé shě de ？
两百万晶石，普通元婴期修士不是拿不出,但就算是为自己买宝物,也要再三斟酌，而这件灵器,虽然看上去不错，但自己却根本就用不上的，买给小辈,他们又如何舍得？
Two million crystal stones weren't hard for an average Advanced Core Formation cultivator to come by, but even then, they would have to carefully consider it before buying such a spiritual artifact, which looked good but was of no use to them personally. How could they bear to part with such a sum?
yú shì bù shǎo rén suī rán xīn dòng ， dàn mō mō hé bāo ， yě dōu méi yǒu shén me mǎi de xìng qù le 。
于是不少人虽然心动，但摸摸荷包，也都没有什么买的兴趣了。
Thus, although many were tempted, after checking their pockets, none showed much interest.
zhì yú shàng guān jiě mèi gèng shì mù dèng kǒu dāi , yǐ bǎi cǎo mén de qíng kuàng , bié shuō yòng liǎng bǎi wàn mǎi yī jiàn líng qì ， jiù suàn yòng liǎng wàn mǎi ， tā men dōu jué de shē chǐ 。
至于上官姐妹更是目瞪口呆,以百草门的情况,别说用两百万买一件灵器，就算用两万买，她们都觉得奢侈。
The Shangguan sisters were equally stunned. For Bai Cao Sect, using two million crystal stones to buy even one spiritual artifact would be considered extravagant.
“ shī fù ……, mèi mèi bú yòng shuō , lián yí xiàng hěn wěn zhòng de shàng guān yàn dōu yǒu xiē hū xī jí cù ， tǎn tè bù ān zhī qíng biǎo lù wú yí le 。
“师傅……,妹妹不用说,连一向很稳重的上官雁都有些呼吸急促，忐忑不安之情表露无疑了。
"Master…" The younger sister didn't need to say it; even the usually steady Shangguan Yan was breathing heavily and clearly anxious.
“ mí liǎ bù yòng dān xīn shén me 。, lín xuān jǐn jiē zhe yòu zhuǎn guò tóu lú ：“ liǎng wàn zhōng pǐn jīng shí méi wèn tí , zhè ge dōng xī wǒ yào le 。, zhǎng guì tīng le , bù yóu de dà xǐ , zhè dōng xī ， bù néng shuō shì tàng shǒu de shān yù ， dàn xiǎng yào mài chū qù què shí bù róng yì ， gāo bù chéng dī bù jiù , liǎng bǎi wàn de jià gé , zú yǐ xià pǎo dà bù fèn xiū xiān zhě , líng qì zài nì tiān yě hái shì líng qì , méi bàn fǎ yǔ fǎ bǎo xiāng bǐ ， kě mài dī le yòu jué de bù zhí , bì jìng líng qì zhī zhōng ， hěn nán chū xiàn zhè zhǒng nì tiān zhī wù 。
“弥俩不用担心什么。,林轩紧接着又转过头颅：“两万中品晶石没问题,这个东西我要了。,掌柜听了,不由得大喜,这东西，不能说是烫手的山芋，但想要卖出去确实不容易，高不成低不就,两百万的价格,足以吓跑大部分修仙者,灵器再逆天也还是灵器,没办法与法宝相比，可卖低了又觉得不值,毕竟灵器之中，很难出现这种逆天之物。
"Do not worry," Lin Xuan turned his head: "Two hundred thousand middle-grade crystal stones are fine. I will take this."
zhì xiāo zài diàn lǐ yǐ jīng hǎo jiǔ ， rú jīn zhōng yú zhǎo dào le yuān dà tóu …… bù ， shì huì yǎn shí zhū de mǎi zhǔ 。
滞销在店里已经好久，如今终于找到了冤大头……不，是慧眼识珠的买主。
The shopkeeper's face lit up. This item wasn’t a hot potato, but selling it required effort. At two million, most cultivators would be scared away. A spiritual artifact was still a spiritual artifact and couldn't compare to magical treasures. But lowering the price felt like underestimating its value.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú , guāng xiá juǎn guò ， dì shàng píng kōng chū xiàn yī dà duī jīng shí le ， dāng rán ， quán shì zhōng pǐn zhī wù , ruò shì yòng xià pǐn jīng shí zhī fù , kǒng pà zhè lóu shàng dū huì duī bù xià de 。
林轩袖袍一拂,光霞卷过，地上凭空出现一大堆晶石了，当然，全是中品之物,若是用下品晶石支付,恐怕这楼上都会堆不下的。
It had been sitting unsold in the store for so long; now, finally, he found a willing buyer… no, a discerning one.
“ nǐ shǔ shù ， yǒu méi yǒu cuò ？, lín xuān wēi xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“你数数，有没有错？,林轩微笑的声音传入耳朵。
Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, and light flashed over the ground. A pile of middle-grade crystal stones appeared out of thin air.
zhǎng guì yī xǐ , lián máng jiāng shén shí fù gài shàng qù ， hěn kuài jiù tái qǐ tóu lú ：“ méi cuò ， zhè léi hè zhī yì ， jiù guī qián bèi le ——, rán ér huà yīn wèi luò , yī mò shēng de shēng yīn què chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ děng děng ， zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， běn tài zi yào le 。, shēng yīn bìng bù dà ， dàn jiāo kuáng zhī yì què xiǎn lù wú yí , lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， suǒ wèi wén xián gē ér zhī yǎ yì ， tīng shēng yīn , tóng yàng kě yǐ duì zhǔ rén de xìng zi , zuò yí dìng de biàn shí ， xiǎn rán lái zhě bú shì shén me shàn chá zi 。
掌柜一喜,连忙将神识覆盖上去，很快就抬起头颅：“没错，这雷鹤之翼，就归前辈了——,然而话音未落,一陌生的声音却传入耳朵：“等等，这件宝物，本太子要了。,声音并不大，但骄狂之意却显露无疑,林轩眉头一皱，所谓闻弦歌而知雅意，听声音,同样可以对主人的性子,做一定的辨识，显然来者不是什么善茬子。
"Count it to make sure there's no mistake," Lin Xuan’s smile echoed in their ears.
ér nà shēng yīn wèi luò , zhěng gè dà tīng lǐ jiù chū xiàn le jǐ gǔ qiáng dà de qì xī .
而那声音未落,整个大厅里就出现了几股强大的气息.
The shopkeeper was elated and hurriedly covered with his divine sense. "No mistakes. This Thunder Crane Wing is yours—"
xīn lái de ， shì yī qún hǎi zú de xiū shì 。
新来的，是一群海族的修士。
But before he could finish, a strange voice interrupted: "Wait, I want this treasure."
nà xiē shì cóng bì nǚ zàn qiě bù tí , wéi shǒu de ， shì yī míng jǐn yī gōng zi ， kàn shàng qù ， dà yuē èr shí bā 、 jiǔ nián jì , rán ér què bìng bù yīng jùn xiāo sǎ ， zhǎng xiàng fǎn ér shí fēn xiōng è , yǐn rén zhǔ mù de shì ， tā de tóng kǒng shì xuè hóng sè 。
那些侍从婢女暂且不提,为首的，是一名锦衣公子，看上去，大约二十八、九年纪,然而却并不英俊潇洒，长相反而十分凶恶,引人瞩目的是，他的瞳孔是血红色。
Though the voice wasn't loud, its arrogance was clear. Lin Xuan frowned; one could discern the owner's character from their voice. Clearly, the newcomer wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
kàn shàng qù ， xiǎn de yāo yì yǐ jí , hái duō le yī gǔ fēng kuáng de mèi lì .
看上去，显得妖异以极,还多了一股疯狂的魅力.
And as that voice faded, several powerful auras appeared in the hall.
zhè shì yī wèi yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jìng jiè zì rán bù néng suàn dī ， wǔ ér zhòng yào de bú shì zhè ge ， tā nà xuè hóng sè de tóng kǒng ， cái shì lìng rén jì dàn zhī chù 。
这是一位元婴后期的修仙者，境界自然不能算低，舞而重要的不是这个，他那血红色的瞳孔，才是令人忌惮之处。
The new arrivals were a group of sea cultivators.
kuáng shā wáng zú ！
狂鲨王族！
Ignoring the servants and attendants for now, the leader was a young man in fine robes, around twenty-eight or nine years old. He didn't look particularly handsome; his face was rather fierce. Notably, his pupils were blood red, making him appear extremely eerie with an added touch of madness.
lín xuān céng zài mǒu běn gǔ jí shàng jiàn guò , zài hǎi zú zhōng , zhǐ yǒu kuáng shā wáng de xuè qīn yī mài ， cái huì yōng yǒu hóng sè de tóng kǒng 。
林轩曾在某本古籍上见过,在海族中,只有狂鲨王的血亲一脉，才会拥有红色的瞳孔。
This was an Advanced Core Formation cultivator. His rank wasn’t low, but what truly mattered was that his blood-red pupils made him a figure to be wary of.
“ tā gāng cái chēng hū zì jǐ shén me , tài zi ？ nán dào shì kuáng shā wáng de qīn shēng ér zi ？, nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò , lín xuān yě bù yóu de xīn zhōng yī lǐn le 。
“他刚才称呼自己什么,太子？难道是狂鲨王的亲生儿子？,脑海中念头转过,林轩也不由得心中一凛了。
The Shark King Clan!
ér nà zhǎng guì xiū wèi suī dī , duì hǎi zú de liǎo jiě ， què yuǎn fēi lín xuān kě bǐ ， mù guāng zài lái rén shēn shàng sǎo guò ， liǎn shàng yǐ shì dà jīng shī sè , zhēn shì kuáng shā wáng zú ， tā men de chuān zhuó dǎ bàn , hái yǒu yī lǐng xiù kǒu shàng de biāo shì , shì jué bù kě néng yǒu rén jiǎ mào de , yīn wèi nà yàng zuò ， děng yú yǔ shā wáng wèi dí ， ér shuí huì chī bǎo le chēng zhù ， gǎn qù dé zuì hǎi zú liù wáng yī xì 。
而那掌柜修为虽低,对海族的了解，却远非林轩可比，目光在来人身上扫过，脸上已是大惊失色,真是狂鲨王族，他们的穿着打扮,还有衣领袖口上的标示,是绝不可能有人假冒的,因为那样做，等于与鲨王为敌，而谁会吃饱了撑住，敢去得罪海族六王一系。
Lin Xuan had seen this in some ancient texts; only the bloodline of the Shark Kings possessed red eyes in the sea realm.
shā wáng běn shēn ， jiù shì dòng xuán zhōng qī dǐng fēng de xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě qí shēn fèn gèng shì zūn guì yǐ jí , bù lùn shí lì , hái shì yōng yǒu de shì lì , dōu yuǎn fēi dú lóng lǎo zǔ nà yàng de sàn xiū lǎo guài kě yǐ bǐ nǐ 。
鲨王本身，就是洞玄中期顶峰的修仙者，而且其身份更是尊贵以极,不论实力,还是拥有的势力,都远非毒龙老祖那样的散修老怪可以比拟。
"Did he just call himself a prince? Could he be the son of the Shark King?" Lin Xuan’s mind raced, and his heart tightened.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zhǎng guì yǒu xiē kū xiào bù dé ， zhì xiāo diàn lǐ hǎo jiǔ de bǎo wù ， tū rán biàn chéng le xiāng mó mó ， cái gāng gāng mài chū ， jiù yòu bèi dà zhǔ gù kàn zhòng 。
此时此刻，掌柜有些哭笑不得，滞销店里好久的宝物，突然变成了香馍馍，才刚刚卖出，就又被大主顾看中。
Though the shopkeeper's cultivation was low, his knowledge of the sea cultivators far exceeded Lin Xuan. His gaze swept over the newcomer, and his face showed clear shock: It was indeed from the Shark King Clan. Their attire and insignias on their clothes were impossible to fake; doing so would be equivalent to declaring war against the Shark King.
yǎn qián zhī rén , jiù suàn bú shì shā wáng tài zi ， yě bì yǔ tā yǒu zhe qīn qī guān xì , wú lùn rú hé , zì jǐ jué duì dé zuì bù qǐ 。
眼前之人,就算不是鲨王太子，也必与他有着亲戚关系,无论如何,自己绝对得罪不起。
The Shark King himself was a late-stage Profound Origin cultivator, with an extremely prestigious status. His power and influence far surpassed that of even a rogue expert like Poison Dragon Ancestor.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe , zhǎng guì liǎn shàng duī chū yī fù péi xiào zhī sè ， xiǎo xīn yì yì de kāi kǒu le ：“ zhè wèi qián bèi ， shí zài shì duì bù qǐ , nín rú guǒ zǎo lái yī bù jiù hǎo le ， zhè léi hè zhī yì , gāng gāng yǐ yī shǒu jiāo qián ， yī shǒu jiāo huò ， mài gěi páng biān zhè wèi qián bèi le 。, tā zhè zhāo jiào yī duī liù èr wǔ ， biǎo míng zhè líng qì yǔ běn diàn yǐ méi yǒu guān xì ， kuáng shā wáng zú dé zuì bù qǐ ， nǐ xiǎng yào líng qì , nán tí tuī gěi lín xuān tóu téng qù 。
心中如此想着,掌柜脸上堆出一副陪笑之色，小心翼翼的开口了：“这位前辈，实在是对不起,您如果早来一步就好了，这雷鹤之翼,刚刚已一手交钱，一手交货，卖给旁边这位前辈了。,他这招叫一堆六二五，表明这灵器与本店已没有关系，狂鲨王族得罪不起，你想要灵器,难题推给林轩头疼去。
At this moment, the shopkeeper couldn’t help but feel bewildered; after being unsold for so long, this treasure suddenly became highly sought after, only to be snatched by a major client.
nà jǐn páo gōng zi tīng le , zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， píng tā de xiū wèi , zì rán kàn bù chuān lín xuān de liǎn qì zhī shù 。
那锦袍公子听了,转过头颅，凭他的修为,自然看不穿林轩的敛气之术。
The person before him, even if not the prince himself, must have some relation. Regardless, he could never afford to offend such a figure.
zài tā yǎn lǐ ， zhè bù guò shì yī míng yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū shì ， bù zhí yī tí 。
在他眼里，这不过是一名元婴中期的修士，不值一提。
With these thoughts in mind, the shopkeeper forced a smile and cautiously spoke: "Esteemed senior, I apologize. If you had come earlier, this Thunder Crane Wing would still be available. It has already been sold to that esteemed senior over there."
“ zhè wèi dào yǒu ， kě fǒu jiāng shǒu zhōng zhī wù gē ài ràng gěi wǒ ， bù guǎn nǐ dāng shí zǒu chū duō shǎo jīng shí mǎi xià cǐ wù ， běn tài zi dōu yuàn chū liǎng bèi de jià gé ， bù zhī dào yǒu yì xià rú hé , zǒng zhī jué bú huì ràng nǐ chī kuī de 。, jǐn páo gōng zi de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , yǔ qì hái suàn wēn hé ， dàn bù zhī dào wèi shén me ， què yǒu yī gǔ shèng qì líng rén de wèi dào zài lǐ tou 。
“这位道友，可否将手中之物割爱让给我，不管你当时走出多少晶石买下此物，本太子都愿出两倍的价格，不知道友意下如何,总之绝不会让你吃亏的。,锦袍公子的声音传入耳朵,语气还算温和，但不知道为什么，却有一股盛气凌人的味道在里头。
This was his strategy; by claiming it wasn't related to the store anymore, he pushed the Shark King Clan away from him. If the prince wanted a spiritual artifact, let Lin Xuan deal with it.
kě xī zài lín xuān miàn qián ， què chéng le jiāng mèi yǎn pāo gěi xiā zi kàn ， lín xuān de liǎn shàng ， gǔ jǐng wú bō ：“ zhè dōng xī , lín mǒu yǐ jīng mǎi xià le , bù guǎn dào yǒu chū shén me jià gé ， zài xià dōu bù dǎ suàn zhuǎn mài de 。
可惜在林轩面前，却成了将媚眼抛给瞎子看，林轩的脸上，古井无波：“这东西,林某已经买下了,不管道友出什么价格，在下都不打算转卖的。
The man in the fine robe turned and saw only an Advanced Core Formation cultivator, not worth considering.
“ shén me ？, jǐn páo gōng zi tīng le , méi tou yí zhòu ， liǎn shàng nù yì mí sàn ér chū , tā kě shì shā wáng zhī zi ， píng shí zhòng xīng pěng yuè de rén wù ， biàn shì gāo yī jí de xiū xiān kàn jiàn le tā ， yě wú bù gōng gōng jìng jìng de , zhè rén lèi xiū shì , bù zhī sǐ huó , tā dǎng zì jǐ shì shén me dōng xī le ？
“什么？,锦袍公子听了,眉头一皱，脸上怒意弥散而出,他可是鲨王之子，平时众星捧月的人物，便是高一级的修仙看见了他，也无不恭恭敬敬的,这人类修士,不知死活,他挡自己是什么东西了？
"Esteemed friend, could you part with this item? Regardless of how much crystal stones you paid for it, I am willing to offer double. Please consider my proposal," his voice was mild, but there was a hint of arrogance.
jǐn guǎn xīn zhōng fā nù , dàn tā què méi yǒu dòng shǒu ， ér shì lüè yī chí yí ， lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ：“ bù jiù shì jīng shí ， běn tài zi yuàn chū sān bèi de jià gé ， dào yǒu hái bù yuàn yì zhuǎn mài me ？, sī ……
尽管心中发怒,但他却没有动手，而是略一迟疑，冷冷的声音传入耳朵里：“不就是晶石，本太子愿出三倍的价格，道友还不愿意转卖么？,嘶……
Unfortunately, in front of Lin Xuan, it was like throwing a媚眼to a blind man. Lin Xuan's face remained calm: "This item has already been bought by me. Regardless of the price you offer, I won't sell it."
zhōu wéi de xiū xiān zhě , dōu dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì ， sān bèi , jiù shì liù bǎi wàn jīng shí , bié shuō dǐng jiē gǔ bǎo le ， rú guǒ yùn qì bù cuò , mǎi yī fǎng zhì líng bǎo de xiá cī pǐn yě shì dà yǒu kě néng de , zhè zhǒng jià gé , gòu mǎi líng qì ， bié shuō dōng hǎi ， fàng yǎn zhěng gè líng jiè ， kǒng pà yě cóng wèi fā shēng guò ， kǒng pà shì shì jué wú jǐn yǒu le 。
周围的修仙者,都倒吸了一口凉气，三倍,就是六百万晶石,别说顶阶古宝了，如果运气不错,买一仿制灵宝的瑕疵品也是大有可能的,这种价格,购买灵器，别说东海，放眼整个灵界，恐怕也从未发生过，恐怕是是绝无仅有了。
"What? !" The man in the fine robe frowned and anger spread across his face. He was the son of the Shark King, a figure everyone revered. Even higher-level cultivators would show him respect. This human, what did he think he was?
zhòng rén dōu hèn bù dé mǎi xià cǐ bǎo de shì zì jǐ , xiàn zài zhǐ néng kàn zhuó yǎn chán ér yǐ 。！~！
众人都恨不得买下此宝的是自己,现在只能看着眼馋而已。！~！
Though he was furious, he didn’t act. Instead, after a moment’s hesitation, he coldly said: "It's just crystal stones; I am willing to offer three times the price. Are you still unwilling to sell?"
The cultivators around gasped in shock. Three times meant six million crystal stones. Even if it weren't an ancient treasure of the highest grade, with a bit of luck, one could buy a flawed imitation magical artifact. Such a price for a spiritual artifact was unprecedented; it had never happened before and likely wouldn’t again.
Everyone wished they were the ones who bought this treasure but could only envy from afar!~!
During his Flexible Spirit Period, Lin Xuan could never have achieved this with the Dan Theory.
Others were equally astonished, their eyes filled with interest.
"How much does it cost?" spoke an old man in a black robe. He was also an Advanced Core Formation cultivator.
"Two hundred thousand middle-grade crystal stones," the shopkeeper smiled.
"What? !" The people around almost thought they had heard wrong. Two hundred thousand middle-grade crystal stones equaled two million lower-grade ones. Even if it were a decent magical treasure, one could buy several with that amount. This spiritual artifact was indeed something special, but it still couldn't match the power of ordinary magical treasures. Buying this, wouldn’t be overpaying?
Especially in the Great Vast Sea region, resources were scarce compared to other places. The cultivators here had even less wealth than their counterparts.

"Master…" The younger sister didn't need to say it; even the usually steady Shangguan Yan was breathing heavily and clearly anxious.
"Do not worry," Lin Xuan turned his head: "Two hundred thousand middle-grade crystal stones are fine. I will take this."
The shopkeeper's face lit up. This item wasn’t a hot potato, but selling it required effort. At two million, most cultivators would be scared away. A spiritual artifact was still a spiritual artifact and couldn't compare to magical treasures. But lowering the price felt like underestimating its value.

Even if it weren't an ancient treasure of the highest grade, with a bit of luck, one could buy a flawed imitation magical artifact. Such a price for a spiritual artifact was unprecedented; it had never happened before and likely wouldn’t again.
Everyone wished they were the ones who bought this treasure but could only envy from afar!~!
