虽然是山谷，然而面积却极大，整个坊市由数条街道构成，纵横交错，各种大小店铺鳞次栉比，看上去气势颇为不凡的样子。
Although it was a valley, its area was vast. The market district consisted of several streets crisscrossing each other, with various shops lining up side by side, giving off an impressive appearance.
ér jiē dào shàng ， xiū shì de shù liàng zhe shí bù shǎo ， ǒu ěr hái néng tīng jiàn tǎo jià huán jià de shēng yīn ， xiǎn de shí fēn rè nào 。
而街道上，修士的数量着实不少，偶尔还能听见讨价还价的声音，显得十分热闹。
The number of cultivators on the streets was substantial, and one could occasionally hear haggling voices, making the scene quite lively.
kàn lái zhè tiān mù shān què shí yǒu yī xiē bù fán zhī chù ， fǒu zé bú huì cái dì yī tiān ， jiù xī yǐn le rú cǐ zhòng duō de xiū xiān zhě 。
看来这天目山确实有一些不凡之处，否则不会才第一天，就吸引了如此众多的修仙者。
It seemed that Tianmu Mountain indeed had some remarkable features. Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted so many cultivators just in its first day.
lín xuān de mù biāo shì wàn xiàng cǎo ， dàn tā bìng méi yǒu xiǎn de jí zào ， shèn zhì méi yǒu xiān qù nà tiáo yào diàn zuì duō de jiē dào ， ér shì yán zhe cóng gǔ kǒu yán shēn chū lái de xiǎo lù ， cóng zhèng mén jìn rù dào le fāng shì zhī zhōng 。
林轩的目标是万象草，但他并没有显得急躁，甚至没有先去那条药店最多的街道，而是沿着从谷口延伸出来的小路，从正门进入到了坊市之中。
Lin Xuan's target was the Wonders Grass, but he didn’t show any urgency. Instead of heading straight to the street with the most pharmacies, he followed a small path extending from the entrance and entered the market district through the main gate.
zhè yě shì zuì wèi kuān kuò de yī tiáo jiē dào ， chū shòu de bǎo wù duō yǐ líng qì wéi zhǔ ， yě yǒu bù shǎo pǐn jiē bù dī de fú 。
这也是最为宽阔的一条街道，出售的宝物多以灵器为主，也有不少品阶不低的符。
This was the widest street, where the treasures on sale were mostly spirit artifacts, with quite a few middle-grade talismans as well. After all, in the cultivation world, equipment was crucial.
bì jìng zài xiū xiān jiè hùn ， zhuāng bèi de zhòng yào shì bù yán ér yù de 。
毕竟在修仙界混，装备的重要是不言而喻的。
Tianmu Mountain had many miscellaneous skills, and both alchemy and talisman-making were quite proficient, especially in crafting techniques. The sect claimed to possess several ancient methods of creating spirit artifacts that had long been lost. Each crafted spirit artifact came with additional attributes, making them powerful indeed.
ér tiān mù shān de zá xué pǒ duō ， bù lùn liàn qì hái shì zhì fú dōu pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xīn dé ， tè bié shì liàn qì shù ， tīng shuō gāi pài zhǎng wò zhāo shù zhǒng shàng gǔ shí qī ， rú jīn yǐ jīng shī chuán de zhì qì zhī fǎ ， měi yī zhǒng liàn zhì chū lái de líng qì dōu yǒu fù jiā shǔ xìng ， wēi lì pǒ dà 。
而天目山的杂学颇多，不论炼器还是制符都颇有几分心得，特别是炼器术，听说该派掌握着数种上古时期，如今已经失传的制器之法，每一种炼制出来的灵器都有附加属性，威力颇大。
Of course, these treasures were also priceless, enough to bankrupt a common cultivator. However, the cultivators who came to Tianmu Mountain usually had some background—either behind them was a major sect or they themselves had encountered extraordinary events, making them quite wealthy. Ordinary people wouldn’t appear in such trading fairs.
dāng rán ， zhè xiē bǎo wù yě dōu jià zhí bù fēi ， zú gòu ràng yì bān de xiū shì qīng jiā dàng chǎn le ， bù guò huì lái tiān mù shān de xiū xiān zhě ， yě dōu yǒu yí dìng bèi jǐng ， bú shì shēn hòu yǒu dà de zōng mén ， jiù shì běn shēn lìng yǒu qí yù ， shí fēn fù zú ， děng xián zhī rén ， shì bú huì chū xiàn zài zhè jiāo yì huì zhōng 。
当然，这些宝物也都价值不菲，足够让一般的修士倾家荡产了，不过会来天目山的修仙者，也都有一定背景，不是身后有大的宗门，就是本身另有奇遇，十分富足，等闲之人，是不会出现在这交易会中。
Thus, although the price of a middle-grade spirit artifact here was often twice, even three times that outside, many cultivators were still willing to be "suckers." At this moment, Lin Xuan watched two late-stage Flexible Spirit Period cultivators argue heatedly over a black ghosthead sword.
suǒ yǐ ， jǐn guǎn yī jiàn xiāng tóng pǐn jiē de líng qì ， zhè ér suǒ xū de jīng shí wǎng wǎng shì wài miàn de liǎng bèi ， shèn zhì sān bèi zhī duō ， kě yī rán yǒu dà bǎ de xiū shì yuàn yì dāng “ yuān dà tóu ”， cǐ shí lín xuān jiù kàn kàn liǎng míng líng dòng hòu qī de xiū shì wèi yī bǐng wū hēi de guǐ tóu dāo zhēng de miàn hóng ěr chì 。
所以，尽管一件相同品阶的灵器，这儿所需的晶石往往是外面的两倍，甚至三倍之多，可依然有大把的修士愿意当“冤大头”，此时林轩就看看两名灵动后期的修士为一柄乌黑的鬼头刀争得面红耳赤。
The ghosthead sword's design was ordinary and unremarkable. However, it was priced at five hundred crystal stones as a middle-grade spirit artifact. Although Lin Xuan didn’t care much, he couldn’t help but feel surprised. After learning that each attack could automatically release an earth attribute mid-grade spell called "Pressure of a Thousand Pounds," the price seemed justified.
nà guǐ tóu dāo zào xíng pǔ tōng ， bìng méi yǒu shén me yǐn rén zhī chù 。 rán ér jiù zhè me yī jiàn zhōng pǐn líng qì ， què kāi jià wǔ bǎi jīng shí 。
那鬼头刀造型普通，并没有什么引人之处。然而就这么一件中品灵器，却开价五百晶石。
In fact, such treasure items with additional attributes even caught Lin Xuan's interest. However, after touring the entire market district, he felt somewhat disappointed.
lín xuān suī rán bù zài hū ， dàn yě bù yóu de àn àn zé shé ， bù guò zài liǎo jiě dào cǐ guǐ tóu dāo měi yī cì gōng jī ， dōu kě yǐ zì dòng shì fàng chū yī zhǒng jiào zuò “ qiān jīn yā dǐng ” dì tǔ shǔ xìng zhōng jiē fǎ shù yǐ hòu ， yě jiù bù zú wéi qí le ， què shí hái shì wù yǒu suǒ zhí de 。
林轩虽然不在乎，但也不由得暗暗咋舌，不过在了解到此鬼头刀每一次攻击，都可以自动释放出一种叫做“千斤压顶”地土属性中阶法术以后，也就不足为奇了，确实还是物有所值的。
Most shops sold middle-grade spirit artifacts, while upper-grade ones were in high demand, drawing several cultivators to bid on them, and even some sects participated in the bidding.
hái bié shuō 。 zhè zhǒng fù jiā shǔ xìng dì bǎo wù 。 lián lín xuān dōu yǒu xiē xīn dòng 。 bù guò zài jiāng zhěng gè fāng shì guàng le yī quān zhī hòu 。 què yǒu xiē shī wàng le 。
还别说。这种附加属性地宝物。连林轩都有些心动。不过在将整个坊市逛了一圈之后。却有些失望了。
Lin Xuan naturally wouldn’t compete with them. After all, he had ancient treasures at hand; these spirit artifacts, no matter how good they were, still fell short compared to his own possessions.
dà bù fèn diàn pù suǒ chū shòu dì 。 dōu yǐ zhōng pǐn líng qì jū duō 。 shàng pǐn dì zé shì qiǎng shǒu huò 。 bù jǐn yī chū xiàn jiù yǐn dé shù míng xiū shì fēn fēn jìng jià 。 shèn zhì lián yī xiē zōng mén yě cān yù le qiǎng duó 。
大部分店铺所出售地。都以中品灵器居多。上品地则是抢手货。不仅一出现就引得数名修士纷纷竞价。甚至连一些宗门也参与了抢夺。
Moreover, although he was wealthy, he had spent a considerable amount of crystal stones acquiring precious materials over the past half year. He couldn’t say he was penniless, but being extravagant would be out of the question.
lín xuān zì rán bú huì yǔ tā men xiāng zhēng 。 fǎn zhèng zì jǐ yǒu gǔ bǎo zài shǒu 。 zhè xiē líng qì zài hǎo 。 yǔ zì jǐ yōng yǒu dì bǎo wù xiāng bǐ 。 hái shì yào chà shàng yī chóu 。
林轩自然不会与他们相争。反正自己有古宝在手。这些灵器再好。与自己拥有地宝物相比。还是要差上一筹。
So, after wandering for a long time, Lin Xuan only purchased several talismans with defensive spells.
hé kuàng tā suī rán fù yǒu 。 kě zhè bàn nián lái 。 sì chù shōu gòu zhēn xī cái liào 。 suǒ hào fèi dì jīng shí yě zhe shí bù shǎo 。 xiàn zài suī bù néng shuō náng zhōng xiū sè 。 dàn dà shǒu dà jiǎo kěn dìng yě shì bù xíng dì 。
何况他虽然富有。可这半年来。四处收购珍惜材料。所耗费地晶石也着实不少。现在虽不能说囊中羞涩。但大手大脚肯定也是不行地。
Finally, he slowly arrived at a shop selling medicinal herbs. Although this shop wasn't located on the widest street, its location was good. The building was five stories high, about seven or eight zhang tall, and though not particularly imposing, it certainly stood out among the smaller shops nearby.
suǒ yǐ lín xuān guàng le bàn tiān 。 què jǐn jǐn shì gòu mǎi le jǐ zhāng fēng yìn yǒu fáng yù fǎ shù dì fú 。
所以林轩逛了半天。却仅仅是购买了几张封印有防御法术地符。
A large golden signboard read "Hundred Herb Hall," very eye-catching.
suí hòu 。 tā zhōng yú màn màn dì lái dào le yī chū shòu yào cái dì diàn pù zhī zhōng 。 zhè jiā diàn pù suī rán bú shì wèi yú zuì kuān guǎng dì yī tiáo jiē dào shàng 。 dàn suǒ chù dì wèi zhì yě pǒ hǎo 。 zhěng jiān pù zi shì yī dòng wǔ céng lóu dì jiàn zhù 。 yuē yǒu qī bā zhàng gāo 。 qì shì bù néng shuō yǒu duō me páng bó 。 dàn yǔ páng biān dì xiǎo pù miàn xiāng bǐ 。 què shí yǒu yī zhǒng hè lì jī qún dì gǎn jué le 。
随后。他终于慢慢地来到了一出售药材地店铺之中。这家店铺虽然不是位于最宽广地一条街道上。但所处地位置也颇好。整间铺子是一栋五层楼地建筑。约有七八丈高。气势不能说有多么磅礴。但与旁边地小铺面相比。确实有一种鹤立鸡群地感觉了。
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment before slowly entering.
yī kuài dà dà de jīn zì zhāo pái ， shàng shū “ bǎi cǎo táng ” sān gè zì shí fēn de xiǎn yǎn 。
一块大大的金字招牌，上书“百草堂”三个字十分的显眼。
"Senior, is there anything I can assist you with?"
lín xuān chén yín le yī xià ， jiù màn màn le zǒu rù le qí zhōng 。
林轩沉吟了一下，就慢慢了走入了其中。
Surprisingly, despite the size of the shop, business was quite cold. Only a few customers were present, all at the Flexible Spirit Period, and what they bought wasn’t worth much in crystal stones.
“ qián bèi ， yǒu shén me wǒ kě yǐ bāng zhù nín de ？”
“前辈，有什么我可以帮助您的？”
When Lin Xuan entered, the attendant noticed his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation and immediately brightened up, running over with great enthusiasm to serve him.
chū hū yì liào de 。 zhè me dà yī jiàn pù zi ， shēng yì què shí fēn lěng qīng ， jǐn yǒu liáo liáo jǐ gè kè rén ， xiū wèi dōu zài líng dòng qī ， suǒ mǎi dì wù pǐn yě zhí bù liǎo jǐ kuài jīng shí 。
出乎意料的。这么大一件铺子，生意却十分冷清，仅有聊聊几个客人，修为都在灵动期，所买地物品也值不了几块晶石。
Lin Xuan didn’t immediately ask for Wonders Grass but nodded slightly before slowly inspecting the shop.
shēng yì lín xuān yī jìn qù ， nà huǒ jì fā xiàn tā zhù jī qī de xiū wèi yǐ hòu ， lì kè liǎng yǎn yī liàng de pǎo le guò lái ， bìng qiě shí fēn rè qíng de kāi shǐ jiē dài 。
生意林轩一进去，那伙计发现他筑基期的修为以后，立刻两眼一亮的跑了过来，并且十分热情的开始接待。
The attendant showed no dissatisfaction. He remained respectful as he accompanied Lin Xuan.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu yī kāi kǒu jiù shuō chū zì jǐ xū yào wàn xiàng cǎo ， ér shì dàn dàn de diǎn le yī xià tou 。 jiù zài diàn pù lǐ màn màn de xún shì qǐ lái 。
林轩并没有一开口就说出自己需要万象草，而是淡淡的点了一下头。就在店铺里慢慢的巡视起来。
Though Lin Xuan had become the Young Master of Spirit Herb Mountain somewhat mysteriously, he often read medicinal books during his spare time and remembered a lot about various herbs due to his intelligence and comprehension.
ér nà huǒ jì yě méi yǒu rèn hé de bù mǎn 。 yī rán shì shén sè gōng jìng de péi zài páng biān 。
而那伙计也没有任何的不满。依然是神色恭敬的陪在旁边。
The Hundred Herb Hall’s name was indeed not exaggerated; there were quite a few rare celestial materials here.
lín xuān zhè ge líng yào shān shǎo zhǔ suī rán dāng dé yǒu xiē mò míng qí miào ， dàn píng rì lǐ xiū liàn zhī yú yě cháng cháng yán dú yào shū 。 yǐ tā de cōng míng wù xìng gè zhǒng yào cái dì xí xìng zì rán shì jì xià le bù shǎo 。
林轩这个灵药山少主虽然当得有些莫名其妙，但平日里修炼之余也常常研读药书。以他的聪明悟性各种药材地习性自然是记下了不少。
Especially several ingredients needed for condensation core pills, which Lin Xuan had run countless market districts to buy. He never expected them to be available here.
zhè jiā diàn pù qǔ míng bǎi cǎo táng dào yě méi yǒu kuā dà qí cí ， gè zhǒng zhēn xī de tiān cái dì bǎo zhēn hái yǒu bù shǎo 。
这家店铺取名百草堂倒也没有夸大其辞，各种珍稀的天材地宝真还有不少。
Lin Xuan couldn’t help smiling. If he had known this earlier, why would he have gone through so much trouble preparing crystal stones and waiting to participate in the Tianmu Mountain trading fair?
yóu qí shì jǐ zhǒng liàn zhì níng shén dān suǒ xū yào de yuán liào ， zì jǐ dāng shí kě shì pǎo liǎo wú shù fāng shì ， cái jī yuán qiǎo hé de mǎi qí ， méi xiǎng dào zhè ér dōu yǒu 。
尤其是几种炼制凝神丹所需要的原料，自己当时可是跑了无数坊市，才机缘巧合的买齐，没想到这儿都有。
However, there was no Wonders Grass.
lín xuān bù yóu liě le liě zuǐ jiǎo ， zǎo zhī rú cǐ ， dāng chū hé bì zhè me xīn kǔ ， zhǔn bèi hǎo jīng shí ， děng zhe lái cān jiā tiān mù shān de jiāo yì huì jiù xíng le 。
林轩不由咧了咧嘴角，早知如此，当初何必这么辛苦，准备好晶石，等着来参加天目山的交易会就行了。
But Lin Xuan wasn’t overly disappointed because Wonders Grass was an ancient artifact that had long since disappeared from the outside world.
rán ér què dú dú méi yǒu wàn xiàng cǎo 。
然而却独独没有万象草。
Rare items were valuable precisely because they were rare. Even if this Hundred Herb Hall had it, it wouldn’t be casually displayed; it would surely be treated as a treasure.
bù guò lín xuān xīn zhōng dào yě bìng bù rú hé de shī wàng ， yīn wèi zhè wàn xiàng cǎo kě shì shàng gǔ shí qī zhī wù ， zài wài miàn zǎo jiù jué jì le 。
不过林轩心中倒也并不如何的失望，因为这万象草可是上古时期之物，在外面早就绝迹了。
Unconsciously, Lin Xuan had lingered in the Hundred Herb Hall for several hours.
wù yǐ xī wéi guì ， zhè jiā bǎi cǎo táng jiù suàn yǒu ， yě jué bù kě néng nà me suí suí biàn biàn dì qīng yì bǎi chū lái ， kěn dìng shì shì ruò zhèn diàn zhī bǎo 。
物以稀为贵，这家百草堂就算有，也绝不可能那么随随便便地轻易摆出来，肯定是视若镇店之宝。
The attendant’s smile began to fade, and his expression gradually stiffened. If another customer had come, he would have already lost his temper, but in the cultivation world, strength determined one's status.
bù zhī bù jué ， lín xuān yǐ jīng zài bǎi cǎo táng lǐ liú lián le shù gè shí chén zhī jiǔ 。
不知不觉，林轩已经在百草堂里流连了数个时辰之久。
As a mere late-stage Flexible Spirit Period cultivator, he naturally dared not offend this Foundation Establishment stage expert. But this person was indeed too strange—neither speaking nor buying anything, just wandering around the shop without any clear purpose.
nà huǒ jì kāi shǐ hái miàn dài xiào róng ， dàn hòu lái biǎo qíng què jiàn jiàn yǒu xiē jiāng zhù ， rú guǒ gù kè huàn yí gè rén tā kěn dìng yǐ jīng fā huǒ ， dàn xiū xiān jiè shì yǐ shí lì jué dìng dì wèi de 。
那伙计开始还面带笑容，但后来表情却渐渐有些僵住，如果顾客换一个人他肯定已经发火，但修仙界是以实力决定地位的。
Unable to bear it, and unwilling to provoke him, the attendant had to seek his own cool spot. He occasionally glanced at Lin Xuan with a worried expression as if afraid he might steal something from the store.
tā yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de líng dòng qī dì sān céng de xiū xiān zhě zì rán bù gǎn dé zuì yǎn qián de zhù jī qī gāo shǒu ， dàn zhè rén yě zhe shí tài gǔ guài le ， yě bù kāi kǒu ， gèng bù tí mǎi dōng xī ， jiù zhè me zài diàn lǐ xián guàng ， yě bù zhī dào yǒu hé yòng yì 。
他一个小小的灵动期第三层的修仙者自然不敢得罪眼前的筑基期高手，但这人也着实太古怪了，也不开口，更不提买东西，就这么在店里闲逛，也不知道有何用意。
"Why, is there nothing in this small shop that Fellow Daoist needs?"
wú fǎ ， rě bù qǐ nán dào hái duǒ bù qǐ ， diàn xiǎo èr zhǐ hǎo nǎ ér liáng kuài pǎo dào le nǎ ér qù ， bù shí hái qiāo qiāo yòng yǎn shén piǎo yī yǎn lín xuān ， jiù xiàng shì hài pà tā tōu le diàn lǐ de shén me dōng xī 。
无法，惹不起难道还躲不起，店小二只好哪儿凉快跑到了哪儿去，不时还悄悄用眼神瞟一眼林轩，就像是害怕他偷了店里的什么东西。
An old voice sounded, and Lin Xuan’s heart leaped with joy. After waiting so long, the main person had finally appeared. He turned around to see an elderly man with a peculiar appearance; at least he was over sixty, perhaps even past seventy.
“ zěn me ， xiǎo diàn lǐ méi yǒu dào yǒu xū yào zhī wù ？”
“怎么，小店里没有道友需要之物？”
A beard reached his chest, but when Lin Xuan used his spirit sense to scan him, his eyebrows raised in surprise.
Although it was a valley, its area was vast. The market district consisted of several streets crisscrossing each other, with various shops lining up side by side, giving off an impressive appearance.
The number of cultivators on the streets was substantial, and one could occasionally hear haggling voices, making the scene quite lively.
