第两千二百六十五章 魔心草的种子

ér qiě hái yǒu liǎng gè jiā huo zhèng shén qíng jī dòng de zhēng zhí zhuó shén me 。

而且还有两个家伙正神情激动的争执着什么。

And two figures were arguing excitedly.

lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， jiù mài bù zǒu guò qù le 。

林轩眉头一挑，就迈步走过去了。

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and stepped past them.

“ bù xíng ， nǐ zhè ge dōng xī ， duì wǒ méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， xiǎng yào běn zūn de fú bó ， ná qí tā de dōng xī lái huàn 。”

“不行，你这个东西，对我没有用处，想要本尊的符箔，拿其他的东西来换。”

"Impossible, this item is useless to me. If you want my talisman, bring something else."

“ zhè kě shì mó xīn cǎo de zhǒng zi ， jiù jià zhí lái shuō ， huàn nǐ zhè zhāng fú chuò chuò yǒu yú le 。”

“这可是魔心草的种子，就价值来说，换你这张符绰绰有余了。”

"This is the seed of Demon Heart Grass; it's worth more than enough for your worthless piece of paper."

“ mó xīn cǎo de zhǒng zi ？”

“魔心草的种子？”

"Seed of Demon Heart Grass?"

lín xuān tīng dào zhè lǐ ， xīn zhōng kuáng tiào ， bú shì ba ， tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu ， mó xīn cǎo bié rén huò xǔ bù xiǎo de ， rán ér duì lín xuān lái shuō ， què shì hún qiān mèng rào zhī wù ， zhè fān shuō fǎ kě méi yǒu rèn hé kuā dà zhī chù ， yīn wèi mó xīn cǎo de zhǒng zi ， zhèng shì liàn zhì fēn shén dān de zhòng yào yuán liào zhī yī 。

林轩听到这里，心中狂跳，不是吧，踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫，魔心草别人或许不晓得，然而对林轩来说，却是魂牵梦绕之物，这番说法可没有任何夸大之处，因为魔心草的种子，正是炼制分神丹的重要原料之一。

Lin Xuan's heart raced as he heard that. Not really? After all his efforts, this was a stroke of luck. He didn't know about Demon Heart Grass, but to Lin Xuan, it was a dream come true. This claim wasn’t exaggerated; the seed of Demon Heart Grass was one of the key ingredients for refining Spirit Splitting Pills.

yuán běn lái dào fù jiā ， shì wèi le xún zhǎo fú cè ， méi xiǎng dào què jī yuán qiǎo hé ， yù jiàn le zhè yàng de bǎo wù ， lín xuān zì rán méi yǒu cuò guò de dào lǐ ， jiā kuài jiǎo bù zǒu le guò qù 。

原本来到付家，是为了寻找符策，没想到却机缘巧合，遇见了这样的宝物，林轩自然没有错过的道理，加快脚步走了过去。

He had originally come to the Fu Family to find talismans, but now he had stumbled upon such a treasure by chance. There was no way Lin Xuan would miss this opportunity. He quickened his steps and approached.

yìng rù yǎn lián de shì yí gè bù qǐ yǎn de xiǎo tān ， pāo de qián miàn ， zhàn zhe yī sān shí chū tóu de mó zú ， jiù shēn cái xiàng mào lái shuō ， yǔ rén lèi xiū shì yǒu jiǔ chéng de xiāng sì zhī chù ， wéi yī de bù tóng ， jiù shì zài é tóu de zhèng zhōng ， zhǎng zhe yī gēn bàn chǐ lái zhǎng de jī jiǎo ， kàn shàng qù huá jī yòu kě xiào 。

映入眼帘的是一个不起眼的小摊，抛的前面，站着一三十出头的魔族，就身材相貌来说，与人类修士有九成的相似之处，唯一的不同，就是在额头的正中，长着一根半尺来长的犄角，看上去滑稽又可笑。

In front of him stood an unremarkable stall. A middle-aged demon with a protruding horn on his forehead was standing there. His appearance was similar to that of human cultivators, except for the half-foot-long horn on his forehead, which made him look comical and absurd.

rán ér rén bù kě mào xiàng ， hǎi shuǐ bù néng dòu liàng ， zhè jiā huo zhǎng dé bù zěn yàng ， què shì yī míng dòng xuán jí bié de gǔ mó ， shí lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。

然而人不可貌相，海水不能斗量，这家伙长得不怎样，却是一名洞玄级别的古魔，实力非同小可。

However, appearances can be deceiving. This seemingly ordinary man was actually an ancient demon at the Profound Stage, a formidable opponent indeed.

àn lǐ ， zhè yàng jí bié de jiā huo ， yīng gāi xǐ nù bù xíng yú sè ， rán ér nà zhǐ de shì xiū xiān zhě ， gǔ mó de xìng gé ， shǎo yǒu bù cán bào jí zào de ， cǐ shí ， zhè zhǎng zhe jī jiǎo de gǔ mó ， jiù zhèng mǎn liǎn nù qì zhī sè ， kǒu mò héng fēi de hē chì zhe 。

按理，这样级别的家伙，应该喜怒不形于色，然而那指的是修仙者，古魔的性格，少有不残暴急躁的，此时，这长着犄角的古魔，就正满脸怒气之色，口沫横飞的呵斥着。

Usually, such beings would not show their emotions, but this one seemed agitated, spitting out words harshly.

lín xuān zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， mù guāng yòu wàng xiàng le zhàn zài yī biān de tān zhǔ ， zhè jiā huo jiù yào pǔ tōng xǔ duō ， chuān zhe yī shēn zhòu bā bā de yī fú ， tóu fà hú xū sì hū yě hěn jiǔ méi yǒu shū lǐ le ， wǔ guān gèng shì chǒu lòu ， nǎi shì yī xiǎo yǎn jīng lǎo tóu 。

林轩转过头颅，目光又望向了站在一边的摊主，这家伙就要普通许多，穿着一身皱巴巴的衣服，头发胡须似乎也很久没有梳理了，五官更是丑陋，乃是一小眼睛老头。

Lin Xuan turned his head to look at the stall owner on the side. He looked much more ordinary; he wore tattered clothes and had unkempt hair and beard. His face was ugly, a small-eyed old man.

jìng jiè bù guò lí hé ， bǐ nà zhǎng jiǎo de gǔ mó chà le xǔ duō ， rán ér liǎn shàng què méi yǒu fēn háo wèi jù zhī sè 。

境界不过离合，比那长角的古魔差了许多，然而脸上却没有分毫畏惧之色。

Though his cultivation level was only at the Separation Stage, far below that of the horned ancient demon, there was no fear in his eyes.

zhè yě shì nán guài de ， wàn fú dà huì suī rán lái qù zì è yóu ， mǎi mài yě méi yǒu tài duō de xiàn zhì ， dàn yǒu yì diǎn ， bì xū nǐ qíng wǒ yuàn ， shuāng fāng rèn kě ， jué bù yǔn xǔ qiáng mǎi qiáng mài fā shēng de 。

这也是难怪的，万符大会虽然来去自垩由，买卖也没有太多的限制，但有一点，必须你情我愿，双方认可，绝不允许强买强卖发生的。

This was understandable. Although the Great Talisman Fair allowed free movement and flexible trading rules, one had to agree with both parties willingly; forced transactions were not tolerated.

duì fāng jìng jiè gāo yòu rú hé ， nán dào hái gǎn dòng shǒu bù chéng me ？

对方境界高又如何，难道还敢动手不成么？

So, the stall owner was fearless.

zài bái fú shèng jǐng qī fù fù jiā zǐ dì ， nà bú shì lǎo shòu xīng shàng diào huó nì le 。

在白浮胜景欺负付家子弟，那不是老寿星上吊活腻了。

The horned ancient demon, despite his fierce appearance, seemed to understand this point. Thus, he spoke but did not dare to really act on it.

suǒ yǐ tān zhǔ shì yǒu shì wú kǒng 。

所以摊主是有恃无恐。

As for the other ancient demons watching from the sidelines, they had come just to watch and see what kind of talisman could be so valuable that a Profound Stage existence would want it at all costs.

nà zhǎng jiǎo de mó zú suī rán xiàng mào xiōng è ， dàn xiǎn rán yě míng bái zhè yì diǎn lái zhe ， gù ér shuō guī shuō ， què jué bù gǎn zhēn dòng shǒu lái zhe 。

那长角的魔族虽然相貌凶恶，但显然也明白这一点来着，故而说归说，却绝不敢真动手来着。

Since the stall owner hadn't revealed the talisman yet, more and more ancient demons gathered around to guess its nature.

zhì yú zài yī páng wéi guān de gǔ mó ， nà jiù gèng shì cún le kàn rè nào de xīn sī ， tóng shí dà jiā yě hěn hào qí ， néng ràng yī dòng xuán qī cún zài kàn zhòng ， bìng zhì zài bì děi de fú cè ， jiū jìng yǒu shén me guò rén zhī chù ？

至于在一旁围观的古魔，那就更是存了看热闹的心思，同时大家也很好奇，能让一洞玄期存在看中，并志在必得的符策，究竟有什么过人之处？

"Exactly how much do you need in order to exchange your talisman with me? How about two million demon stones?" The demon seemed anxious as his agitated voice reached Lin Xuan's ears.

yīn wèi tān zhǔ yì zhí méi yǒu jiāng fú cè ná chū ， suǒ yǐ dà jiā yě zhǐ néng cāi cè ， zhù zú wéi guān de gǔ mó yuè lái yuè duō 。

因为摊主一直没有将符策拿出，所以大家也只能猜侧，驻足围观的古魔越来越多。

"It doesn’t matter how many demon stones you offer; I only want the spirit bone of a Thunder Phoenix Bird, and no other conditions apply," the stall owner remained indifferent. His cold voice echoed in their ears.

“ nǐ jiū jìng yào zěn yàng ， cái yuàn yì jiāng nà zhāng fú cè jiāo huàn gěi lù mǒu ， yào bù wǒ chū liǎng bǎi wàn mó shí rú hé ？” nà mó zú míng xiǎn yǒu xiē xīn jí le ， jiāo zào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。

“你究竟要怎样，才愿意将那张符策交换给陆某，要不我出两百万魔石如何？”那魔族明显有些心急了，焦躁的声音传入耳朵。

"What?"

“ nǐ chū duō shǎo mó shí dōu méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， qí tā de cái liào ， běn zūn yě bù xū yào de ， wǒ zhǐ yào léi péng niǎo de líng gǔ ， qí tā de jiāo huàn tiáo jiàn nǐ jiù bú yòng shuō 。” nà tān zhǔ què yī fù wú dòng yú zhōng zhī sè ， lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。

“你出多少魔石都没有用处，其他的材料，本尊也不需要的，我只要雷鹏鸟的灵骨，其他的交换条件你就不用说。”那摊主却一副无动于衷之色，冷冷的声音传入耳朵。

The horned ancient demon was both shocked and angry. A Profound Stage existence was already formidable, but he had always been flattered by others' compliments; this was his first time being so humiliated. He wanted to use a treasure to kill the stall owner, but could only think about it due to his rage.

“ nǐ ？”

“你？”

Someone among the watching demons called out: "Hey, what kind of talisman is it? Show us."

nà zhǎng jiǎo mó zú yòu jīng yòu nù ， dòng xuán qī cún zài yǐ pǒ wèi le dé ， tā xiàng lái bèi rén gōng wéi guàn le ， hé shí bèi rú cǐ jǐ duì guò ， hèn bù dé jì chū fǎ bǎo ， jiāng zhè tān zhǔ shā diào ， rán ér zhǐ néng shì xiǎng xiǎng ， yīn wèi fèn nù ， zhěng gè liǎn dōu biē dé tōng hóng tōng hóng de 。

那长角魔族又惊又怒，洞玄期存在已颇为了得，他向来被人恭维惯了，何时被如此挤兑过，恨不得祭出法宝，将这摊主杀掉，然而只能是想想，因为愤怒，整个脸都憋得通红通红的。

"Right, in an exchange fair, there's no need to hide anything,"

zhè shí wéi guān de mó zú zhōng yǒu rén chū shēng le ：“ wèi ， jiū jìng shì shén me fú cè ， ná chū lái yǔ wǒ men qiáo qiáo rú hé ？”

这时围观的魔族中有人出声了：“喂，究竟是什么符策，拿出来与我们瞧瞧如何？”

"Yeah, show us!"

“ bù cuò ， jì rán shì jiāo huàn huì ， yòng yú jiāo huàn de fú cè ， hái yòng dé zhe cáng zhe yē zhe 。”

“不错，既然是交换会，用于交换的符策，还用得着藏着掖着。”

The crowd began to urge him. Finally, the stall owner raised his head and said, "Alright."

‘６ jiù shì ， ná chū lái gěi dà jiā kàn kàn 。”

‘６就是，拿出来给大家看看。”

He was a man of few words, but at that moment, everyone had no interest in hearing what he would say; they wanted to see this magical talisman.

qǐ hòng de shēng yīn cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， nà tān zhǔ zhōng yú tái qǐ tóu lú ：“ hǎo 。”

起哄的声音此起彼伏，那摊主终于抬起头颅：“好。”

He reached into his belt and pulled out a square wooden box. Opening it, he took out the talisman inside.

cǐ rén dǎo shì xī zì rú jīn de jiā huo ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， dà jiā yě gēn běn méi yǒu xìng qù tīng tā shuō shén me ， jiàn shí nà shén qí de fú cè cái shì zuì zhòng yào de 。

此人倒是惜字如金的家伙，不过此时此刻，大家也根本没有兴趣听他说什么，见识那神奇的符策才是最重要的。

The ancient demons widened their eyes, but even Lin Xuan, who was well-versed in talisman-making, couldn’t spot anything special about the talisman. It looked dull and unremarkable. Only the horned man swallowed hard, staring intently at the talisman as if he wanted to snatch it.

zhǐ jiàn tān zhǔ shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yī sì sì fāng fāng de mù hé jiù cóng yāo jiān fēi lüè chū lái ， dǎ kāi hé gài ， jiāng lǐ miàn de fú cè qǔ le chū lái 。

只见摊主伸出手来，在腰间一拍，一四四方方的木盒就从腰间飞掠出来，打开盒盖，将里面的符策取了出来。

"This Talisman of Heaven and Earth Blood Demon is made from the blood of ninety-nine types of beasts, carefully drawn. However, it’s not an offensive or defensive talisman; for ordinary cultivators, it has no use. But for a Saint Race cultivator practicing blood attribute techniques, using this talisman during breakthroughs can increase their chances by about twenty percent."

wéi guān de gǔ mó jiē dèng dà le yǎn ， rán ér bié shuō tā men ， jiù suàn duì zhì fú zhī dào pǒ yǒu yán jiū de lín xuān ， yě méi néng kàn chū zhè fú cè yǒu shén me bù tóng lái 。

围观的古魔皆瞪大了眼，然而别说他们，就算对制符之道颇有研究的林轩，也没能看出这符策有什么不同来。

"What?"

huī pū pū de ， kàn shàng qù zhe shí méi yǒu shén me qǐ yǎn zhī chù ， zhǐ yǒu nà zhǎng jiǎo de dà hàn ， tūn le yī kǒu tuò mò ， yǎn jīng sǐ sǐ de dīng zhe fú cè ， hèn bù dé yī bǎ qiǎng guò lái 。

灰扑扑的，看上去着实没有什么起眼之处，只有那长角的大汉，吞了一口唾沫，眼睛死死的盯着符策，恨不得一把抢过来。

This statement left the watching ancient demons stunned. Even Lin Xuan was speechless. He knew that one could take spirit pills to break through bottlenecks, but he had never thought that talismans could also be beneficial.

“ zhè zhāng qián kūn xuè mó fú ， nǎi shì yòng jiǔ shí jiǔ zhǒng mó shòu de xuè zuò wéi dān shā ， jīng xīn huì zhì ér chéng de ， rán ér què bìng fēi gōng jī huò fáng yù shǔ xìng de fú cè ， duì yú yì bān de dào yǒu ， yě méi yǒu shén me yòng chǔ ， bù guò ruò shì xiū liàn xuè shǔ xìng gōng fǎ de shèng zú ， zài tū pò píng jǐng de shí hòu ， jì chū cǐ fú ， bèi fú cè zhōng de mó shòu zhī xuè de jīng huá bāo guǒ ， què néng jiāng tū pò de jī lǜ ， tí shēng liǎng chéng zuǒ yòu 。

“这张乾坤血魔符，乃是用九十九种魔兽的血作为丹砂，精心绘制而成的，然而却并非攻击或防御属性的符策，对于一般的道友，也没有什么用处，不过若是修炼血属性功法的圣族，在突破瓶颈的时候，祭出此符，被符策中的魔兽之血的精华包裹，却能将突破的几率，提升两成左右。

He really had been ignorant before.

“ shén me ？”

“什么？”

The watching demons were all excited; a twenty percent increase in breaking through bottlenecks? What kind of concept was this? Anyone who wasn’t a fool would understand. Even for special attribute magic arts, such items were rare and valuable. The horned demon seemed too stingy to offer two million demon stones; no wonder the stall owner refused.

zhè huà yī chū ， wéi guān de gǔ mó dōu jīng dāi le ， biàn shì lín xuān yě chēng mù jié shé ， tū pò píng jǐng ， tā zhǐ zhī dào kě yǐ fú yòng dān yào ， què bù céng xiǎng ， lián fú cè yě yǒu yì chù ， bù guò kàn duì fāng de biǎo qíng ， jué bù xiàng sā huǎng de 。

这话一出，围观的古魔都惊呆了，便是林轩也瞠目结舌，突破瓶颈，他只知道可以服用丹药，却不曾想，连符策也有益处，不过看对方的表情，绝不像撒谎的。

However, the next words from the stall owner changed their minds: "Of course, this talisman’s effect is limited—it only works on cultivators below the Separation Stage."

zì jǐ yǐ qián hái zhēn shì gū lòu guǎ wén le 。

自己以前还真是孤陋寡闻了。

"What? Below the Separation Stage?"

ér wéi guān de mó zú dōu fēng kuáng le ， kě yǐ tí gāo liǎng chéng tū pò píng jǐng de jī lǜ ， zhè shì shén me kǎi niàn ， zhǐ yào bú shì bái chī ， jiù dōu xiǎo de 。

而围观的魔族都疯狂了，可以提高两成突破瓶颈的几率，这是什么慨念，只要不是白痴，就都晓得。

The ancient demons were surprised at first but quickly lost interest. Many turned to leave. The remaining ancient demons wondered, "If that's so, why does this Profound Stage existence want it so urgently?"

jiù suàn shì zhēn duì tè shū shǔ xìng de mó gōng ， nà yě shì yǒu jià wú shì zhī wù ， zhè zhǎng jiǎo de mó zú wèi miǎn yě tài shǒu cái nú ， cái chū jià liǎng bǎi wàn mó shí ， nán guài duì fāng bù mài le 。

就算是针对特殊属性的魔功，那也是有价无市之物，这长角的魔族未免也太守财奴，才出价两百万魔石，难怪对方不卖了。

At that moment, the horned demon spoke up. He bowed and said sincerely, "Dear friend, my son has been stuck at the middle-stage of元婴 for a long time; I've tried many spirit medicines without success. Your talisman would be like nectar to him. How much do you want in exchange? Or, if you don’t sell it, I'll give you this Demon Heart Grass seed and add two million crystal stones. What do you think?"

rán ér tān zhǔ xià yī jù huà chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què yòu ràng tā men de xiǎng fǎ gǎi biàn le ：“ dāng rán ， zhè fú de xiào guǒ yě shì yǒu xiàn zhì de ， zhǐ duì lí hé qī yǐ xià de dào yǒu yǒu xiào guǒ 。”

然而摊主下一句话传入耳朵，却又让他们的想法改变了：“当然，这符的效果也是有限制的，只对离合期以下的道友有效果。”

The surrounding ancient demons gasped. This guy had really spent a fortune. Lin Xuan nodded; there were no parents who didn't love their children, even ancient demons. Clearly, he was making a loss to help his son advance.

“ shén me ， lí hé yǐ xià ？”

“什么，离合以下？”

The horned demon was in a hurry because the stall owner had already revealed the talisman. If he didn’t act quickly, someone else might take it away.

zhòng gǔ mó tīng le ， xiān shì yī è ， suí hòu liǎn shàng de xìng qù ， dùn shí jiù dà dǎ zhé kòu le 。

众古魔听了，先是一愕，随后脸上的兴趣，顿时就大打折扣了。
