“ wǔ qiān nián fèn yǐ shàng de shí zhōng rǔ ？”
“五千年份以上的石钟乳？”
"Five-thousand-year-old stone stalactites?"
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
"Not bad."
cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī wéi nán zhī yì ， chén mò bù yǔ 。
此女脸上露出一丝为难之意，沉默不语。
The woman's face showed a hint of difficulty, and she remained silent.
“ zěn me ， xiān zi yǒu nán chǔ ？”
“怎么，仙子有难处？”
"How so? Fairy, do you have any difficulties?"
“ bù mán dào yǒu ， ruò shì pǔ tōng de shí zhōng rǔ ， qiè shēn jiù kě yǐ zuò zhǔ ， rán ér wǔ qiān nián fèn yǐ shàng de chǎn liàng tài dī ， wǒ fù jiā zì yòng shàng qiě bù jí ， suǒ yǐ ……”
“不瞒道友，若是普通的石钟乳，妾身就可以做主，然而五千年份以上的产量太低，我付家自用尚且不及，所以……”
"I won't lie to my friend. If it were ordinary stone stalactites, I could make the decision. However, with those over five thousand years old, their yield is too low. Even for our family's use, we are still short of them, hence..."
“ nán dào jiù bù kě yǐ tōng róng ， jiù suàn cǐ wù zài zhēn xī ， zǒng yě yǒu dōng xī kě yǐ jiāo huàn dì ， lín mǒu kě shì hěn yǒu chéng yì 。”
“难道就不可以通融，就算此物再珍稀，总也有东西可以交换地，林某可是很有诚意。”
"Can't this matter be flexible? No matter how rare this item may be, there must be something to exchange it with. I am very sincere."
gōng zhuāng měi fù liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī wéi nán zhī sè ， ruò shì pǔ tōng de mó zú tí chū zhè yàng de yāo qiú ， tā kěn dìng shì xiǎng dōu bù xiǎng ， jiù yī kǒu jù jué le ， kě yǎn qián zhè jiā huo ， ruò shì suǒ liào méi cuò ， shí yǒu shì fēn shén jí bié de 。
宫装美妇脸上露出一丝为难之色，若是普通的魔族提出这样的要求，她肯定是想都不想，就一口拒绝了，可眼前这家伙，若是所料没错，十有是分神级别的。
The woman in the official attire showed a hint of difficulty on her face. If an ordinary魔族 had made such a request, she would have definitely rejected it without hesitation. But before her was someone who, if her guess was correct, was likely at the peak of the Divination Realm.
ruò zì jǐ zhēn nà me zuò ， duì fāng huì bú huì nǎo xiū chéng nù ？
若自己真那么做，对方会不会恼羞成怒？
If she really did that, would the other party be so angry as to lose their temper?
yǔ zhè zhǒng děng jí de cún zài jiāo wù ， duì zì jǐ ， duì jiā zú ， kě méi yǒu bàn fēn de hǎo chù 。
与这种等级的存在交恶，对自己，对家族，可没有半分的好处。
Dealing with beings of this level could bring no benefits either to herself or her family.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， tā yǐ jīng zhī dào gāi zhè me zuò 。
心中如此想着，她已经知道该这么做。
With such thoughts in mind, she already knew what she should do.
“ ruò yào tōng róng ， yě bú shì bù kě ， bù guò qiè shēn zuò bù liǎo zhǔ ， zhè yàng de dà shì ， bì xū lǎo zǔ diǎn tóu cái kě yǐ 。”
“若要通融，也不是不可，不过妾身做不了主，这样的大事，必须老祖点头才可以。”
"If you want flexibility, it is not impossible. However, I cannot make the decision alone; such important matters must have the old patriarch's approval."
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， méi tóu yě jǐn jǐn de zhòu zài yì qǐ le ， zhè shì qíng ， kě bǐ zì jǐ yuán xiān xiǎng xiàng de ， gèng yǒu nán dù ， méi xiǎng dào ， jū rán qiān chě shàng le fù jiā lǎo zǔ 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，眉头也紧紧的皱在一起了，这事情，可比自己原先想象的，更有难度，没想到，居然牵扯上了付家老祖。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as his brows furrowed tightly. This matter was more difficult than he had anticipated. "The head of the Fu Family will personally host this auction? It seems so from the looks of it. Truly, finding a needle in a haystack and getting it effortlessly. It appears that the rarest符箓s at this conference will far exceed those in previous ones."
guān yú fù jiā de shí lì ， lín xuān hǎo dǎi zài bái fú chéng dài le yī nián duō ， dāng rán hái shì duō shǎo zhī dào yì diǎn de ， bié de zàn qiě bù tí ， fù jiā lǎo zǔ ， kě shì shí dǎ shí de fēn shén qī xiū shì 。
关于付家的实力，林轩好歹在白浮城待了一年多，当然还是多少知道一点的，别的暂且不提，付家老祖，可是实打实的分神期修士。
"Indeed, I am glad to have come here today," various exclamations filled her ears, most tinged with excitement.
zhè zhǒng děng jí de cún zài ， lín xuān suī tán bù shàng duō wèi jù ， dàn néng bù yǒu suǒ qiān chě ， hái shì jǐn liàng bù chě shàng shén me guān xì 。
这种等级的存在，林轩虽谈不上多畏惧，但能不有所牵扯，还是尽量不扯上什么关系。
Many魔族 who had participated in the conference several times were already familiar with the Fu Family's situation. "The head of the Fu Family?"
rán ér zhè yī cì tā què méi yǒu tuì lù ， yīn wèi shè jí dào wàn nián líng rǔ 。
然而这一次他却没有退路，因为涉及到万年灵乳。
Lin Xuan also showed a hint of surprise on his face as he looked up and scanned the old man in the black robe. In such an environment, it was impossible for him to hide his cultivation; he was at the peak of the Divination Realm... no, his magical power was deeper than that of ordinary peak Diviners, almost stepping into the realm of the Spirit.
zhè kě shì zài zhàn dòu zhōng néng gòu fǎn bài wéi shèng ， shèn zhì jiù mìng de bǎo wù 。
这可是在战斗中能够反败为胜，甚至救命的宝物。
If one had to compare, he was like the Sword Sovereign Tian Suo from years ago. The two were evenly matched.
shāo yī sī suǒ ， lín xuān jiù chóng xīn kāi kǒu le ：“ yào fù jiā lǎo zǔ cái kě yǐ zuò zhǔ ma ， yě xíng ， jiù bù xiǎo de ， lín mǒu shén me shí hòu yǒu jī huì néng yǔ zhè wèi dà néng cún zài jiàn shàng yí miàn ne ？”
稍一思索，林轩就重新开口了：“要付家老祖才可以做主吗，也行，就不晓得，林某什么时候有机会能与这位大能存在见上一面呢？”
"Welcome, all my friends, to this place. Some are old customers while others are making their first transaction with our Fu Family. Therefore, I must explain the rules before we begin to avoid any disputes."
lín xuān shuō dé hái suàn kè qì dàn ruò shì yì bān de dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， nǎ yǒu tā nà me bà qì ， kāi kǒu jiù xiǎng yào jiàn fēn shén qī lǎo zǔ 。
林轩说得还算客气但若是一般的洞玄期修仙者，哪有他那么霸气，开口就想要见分神期老祖。
"The auction here is different from outside. For some items, bidding will be done using魔stones, with the highest bidder getting it. For others, specific materials need to be provided as exchange. Of course, we will list a price for these materials and whoever can provide more of them will have a better chance at obtaining the desired符箓."
yào zhī dào ， jiù suàn shì fù jiā de dòng xuán qī cún zài ， yì nián dào tóu ， yě méi yǒu jī huì jiàn shàng lǎo zǔ yí miàn 。
要知道，就算是付家的洞玄期存在，一年到头，也没有机会见上老祖一面。
Fu Tianheng's words had barely finished when the crowd below erupted.
lín xuān rú cǐ qì chǎng ， ràng gōng zhuāng měi fù yuè fā de kěn dìng zì jǐ de cāi cè ， biǎo qíng dāng rán yě jiù gèng gōng jìng le ：“ zhè ge ， qiè shēn yě zuò bù liǎo zhǔ yào huí qù qǐng shì yī xià cái kě yǐ huí fù ， dào yǒu yīng gāi bú huì mǎ shàng lí kāi ba ？”
林轩如此气场，让宫装美妇越发的肯定自己的猜测，表情当然也就更恭敬了：“这个，妾身也做不了主要回去请示一下才可以回复，道友应该不会马上离开吧？”
While bidding with魔stones was one thing, providing materials in exchange was something no one had heard before. However, as long as it was fair, there were no objections from the other魔族.
“ dāng rán ， wàn fú dà huì bú shì fēn liǎng gè jiē duàn me ， zuì hòu de pāi mài huì hái méi yǒu jǔ xíng ne 。”
“当然，万符大会不是分两个阶段么，最后的拍卖会还没有举行呢。”
"Very well, since there are no objections, let us begin the auction."
“ nà hǎo ， děng pāi mài huì jié shù yǐ hòu ， qiè shēn zài gěi dào yǒu zhǔn xìn er ， bù zhī dào kě yǐ me ？”
“那好，等拍卖会结束以后，妾身再给道友准信儿，不知道可以么？”
Fu Tianheng's gaze swept across the entire venue, and he seemed satisfied. He then reached out to take a shimmering符箓...
“ dāng rán méi yǒu wèn tí 。” zhè ge huí dá yǐ jīng ràng lín xuān shí fēn mǎn yì 。
“当然没有问题。”这个回答已经让林轩十分满意。
"This first item up for auction is the Heaven Stabilizing Magic Light符. The power of this符 is something that some of you may have heard about; it is equivalent to a full-out attack from an intermediate Diviner..."
suí hòu liǎng rén yòu liáo le yī huì er ， nà gōng zhuāng měi fù yán yǔ zhī jiān miǎn bù liǎo páng qiāo cè jī ， dǎ tīng lín xuān de lái lì 。
随后两人又聊了一会儿，那宫装美妇言语之间免不了旁敲侧击，打听林轩的来历。
Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of surprise as he listened to the other party's endless words. He did not expect the first item up for auction to be such a powerful灵符.
rán ér lín xuān shì hé děng lǎo móu shēn suàn de rén wù ， jǐn guǎn yǒu wèn bì dá què fǎng fú rào quān zi yī yàng ， jiāng duì fāng nòng dé shì yún lǐ wù lǐ ， wán quán méi yǒu dé dào yǒu yòng de xiāo xī 。
然而林轩是何等老谋深算的人物，尽管有问必答却仿佛绕圈子一样，将对方弄得是云里雾里，完全没有得到有用的消息。
The head of the Fu Family was clearly a skilled orator, and under his introduction, this Heaven Stabilizing Magic Light符 was praised as unparalleled in the world. If it weren't for Lin Xuan having collected over a thousand similar灵符s, he would have been tempted to bid with魔stones.
nà měi fù jǔ sàng bù yǐ ， què wú kě nài hé ， liǎng rén zǒng bù kě néng yì zhí dài zài mì shì ， yòu liáo yī huì er zhī hòu jiù qǐ shēn gào cí 。
那美妇沮丧不已，却无可奈何，两人总不可能一直待在密室，又聊一会儿之后就起身告辞。
Other魔族 were even more easily swayed by such words, their heads overheating. Indeed, when the base price of 500,000魔stones was announced, the other魔族 immediately began bidding.
fēn dào yáng biāo yǐ hòu lín xuān méi yǒu jì xù zài guǎng mǎo chǎng shàng xián guàng ， yī qiān liǎng bǎi zhāng fú lù ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě zú gòu yào wáng gǔ zhī xíng le 。
分道扬镳以后林轩没有继续在广冇场上闲逛，一千两百张符箓，无论如何，也足够药王谷之行了。
In just a short while, it had already risen to one million魔stones and was still climbing.
cái bù lù bái ， zì jǐ méi yǒu bì yào jì xù yǐn rén zhù yì ， yú shì ， lín xuān huí dào le zū zhù de gé lóu lǐ 。
财不露白，自己没有必要继续引人注意，于是，林轩回到了租住的阁楼里。
Finally, it was sold for 1.8 million魔stones to a strange魔族 with two heads and completely black skin.
shēn jū qiǎn chū ， dāng rán ， yě kě yǐ shuō shì yǎng jīng xù ruì 。
深居浅出，当然，也可以说是养精蓄锐。
After paying the魔stones, he happily went up to claim his prize.
liǎng tiān de shí jiān hěn kuài jiù guò qù le ， zì yóu jiāo yì yǐ jīng jié shù zhè tiān qīng chén ， xiū shì men yǒng xiàng guǎng mǎo chǎng dōng cè zuì dà de yī dòng jiàn zhù ， pāi mài huì jiāng zài nà lǐ jǔ xíng lái zhe 。
两天的时间很快就过去了，自由交易已经结束这天清晨，修士们涌向广冇场东侧最大的一栋建筑，拍卖会将在那里举行来着。
"Such a fool, 1.2 million魔stones could buy several decent magic treasures."
zhè yě shì wàn fú dà huì de zhòng tóu xì 。
这也是万符大会的重头戏。
Lin Xuan shook his head, showing a look of disdain. This guy was clearly swayed by the excitement.
suī rán zì yóu jiāo yì ǒu ěr yě huì yǒu zhēn pǐn fú lù chū shì ， dàn zhēn zhèng hǎo de dōng xī ， yì bān hái shì huì liú dào pāi mài huì shàng dì 。
虽然自由交易偶尔也会有珍品符箓出世，但真正好的东西，一般还是会留到拍卖会上地。
Some more cautious ancient魔族 shared similar thoughts as Lin Xuan, their faces filled with pity. Once this fellow's joy faded, he would surely regret it.
zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， lín xuān jīng lì zhè yàng de chǎng miàn wú shù ， zì rán shì jià qīng jiù shú ， suí zhe rén liú zǒu xiàng nà qì shì huī hóng de jiàn zhù 。
自从踏上修仙之路，林轩经历这样的场面无数，自然是驾轻就熟，随着人流走像那气势恢宏的建筑。
But regardless, the first auction had already stirred up the other魔族's enthusiasm.
huí láng qū zhé ， qī wān bā guǎi zhī hòu lái dào yī kuān chǎng de dà tīng 。
回廊曲折，七弯八拐之后来到一宽敞的大厅。
The head of the Fu Family personally hosting was indeed extraordinary!
shuō kuān chǎng ， nà shì yì diǎn méi cuò cǐ shí róng nà le shù qiān xiū shì yě yì diǎn bú jiàn yōng jǐ 。
说宽敞，那是一点没错此时容纳了数千修士也一点不见拥挤。
He then swept his sleeve and took out another符箓. Lin Xuan glanced at it and showed a hint of surprise. This符 was at least 80% similar to the Heaven Stabilizing Magic Light符 just auctioned off, and the other party's introduction confirmed his judgment.
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， rán hòu jiù suí biàn zhǎo le yí gè piān pì de jiǎo luò zuò xià lái le 。
林轩目光扫过，然后就随便找了一个偏僻的角落坐下来了。
"As you can see, this Heaven Stabilizing Magic Shield符 is from the same符smith as that Heaven Stabilizing Magic Light符. The relationship between them is like a spear and shield; while the Heaven Stabilizing Magic Light符 has the power of an intermediate Diviner's full-out attack, the Heaven Stabilizing Magic Shield can just barely block such a powerful strike..."
yòu děng le dà yuē yī zhù xiāng de gōng fu ， rén jī běn shàng jiù lái qí le 。
又等了大约一炷香的功夫，人基本上就来齐了。
Before his words were finished, the other魔族 below all showed strange expressions. They looked at the fellow who had just bought the Heaven Stabilizing Magic Light符, and he indeed showed a disappointed expression. With this magic shield, his just-bought light magic符 was now useless. Thus, he joined in the bidding.
rù kǒu de mén guān bì cóng huì chǎng de yī cè ， què zǒu chū lái yī míng shēn chuān zào páo de lǎo zhě 。
入口的门关闭从会场的一侧，却走出来一名身穿皂袍的老者。
However, this time, his opponent was much stronger than before. It was no wonder; although both符s were of the same grade, defensive attributes were generally more valuable than offensive ones.
“ fù jiā jiā zhǔ nán dào zhè cì de pāi mài huì ， jū rán shì yóu tā qīn zì zhǔ chí ？”
“付家家主难道这次的拍卖会，居然是由他亲自主持？”
With a base price of 700,000魔stones, bids began to rise one after another.
“ hēi ， kàn jià shì yīng gāi shì rú cǐ ， zhēn shì tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu ， kàn lái zhè cì suǒ huì chū xiàn de zhēn pǐn fú lù ， huì yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò yǐ wǎng xǔ duō 。”
“嘿，看架势应该是如此，真是踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫，看来这次所会出现的珍品符箓，会远远超过以往许多。”
"800,000."
“ ń ， zhè yī cì ， lǎo fū hái zhēn shì lái duì le 。”
“嗯，这一次，老夫还真是来对了。”
"900,000."
gè zhǒng gè yàng de yì lùn shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn dà duō dài zhe xīng fèn zhī sè 。
各种各样的议论声传入耳朵，里面大多带着兴奋之色。
"1 million."
lái dào zhè lǐ de mó zú ， yǒu bù shǎo yǐ jīng cān jiā le wàn fú dà huì shù cì ， duì yú fù jiā de qíng xíng ， yě yǐ shì hěn liǎo jiě le 。
来到这里的魔族，有不少已经参加了万符大会数次，对于付家的情形，也已是很了解了。
In just a short while, the Heaven Stabilizing Magic Shield符 was bid up to an astonishing price and continued climbing.
“ fù jiā jiā zhǔ ？”
“付家家主？”
It finally sold for 1.8 million魔stones.
lín xuān liǎn shàng yě shǎn guò yī sī yì wài zhī sè ， tái qǐ tóu lú ， mù guāng zài nà zào páo lǎo zhě de liǎn shàng sǎo guò ， zhè zhǒng chǎng hé ， duì fāng zì rán bù kě néng jiāng xiū wèi yǐn cáng zhù ， nǎi shì yī míng dòng xuán qī dǐng fēng de mó zú …… bù ， bǐ yì bān de dǐng fēng mó zú fǎ lì hái yào shēn hou， shuō yī zhī jiǎo tà rù fēn shén yě bù wèi guò 。
林轩脸上也闪过一丝意外之色，抬起头颅，目光在那皂袍老者的脸上扫过，这种场合，对方自然不可能将修为隐藏住，乃是一名洞玄期顶峰的魔族……不，比一般的顶峰魔族法力还要深hou，说一只脚踏入分神也不为过。
Even Fu Tianheng showed a hint of surprise on his face. Although this amount wasn't much to him, a mere magic shield was far beyond what he had expected.
rú guǒ yí dìng yào shuō ， jiù yǔ dāng nián de tiān suǒ jiàn zūn xiāng chà fǎng fú ， liǎng gè jiā huo jī hū shì bàn jīn bā liǎng le 。
如果一定要说，就与当年的天琐剑尊相差仿佛，两个家伙几乎是半斤八两了。
Which unlucky soul bought it?
“ huān yíng gè wèi dào yǒu guāng lín cǐ chù ， zhè cì de kè rén yǒu de shì lǎo kè hù ， yǒu de zé shì dì yī cì yǔ wǒ fù jiā dǎ jiāo dào de ， suǒ yǐ guī jǔ ， xiǎo lǎo ér yào xiān shuō shàng yī shuō ， miǎn de yī huì er yǒu zhēng zhí shén me 。”
“欢迎各位道友光临此处，这次的客人有的是老客户，有的则是第一次与我付家打交道的，所以规矩，小老儿要先说上一说，免得一会儿有争执什么。”
Scanning the crowd, he found that it was the same fellow who had just purchased the light magic符.
“ yǔ wài miàn de pāi mài huì bù tóng ， zhè wàn fú dà huì de pāi mài ， yǒu de shì yòng mó shí jìng jià ， jià gāo zhě dé ， yǒu de zé shì zhǐ míng xū yào yī xiē cái liào zuò wéi jiāo huàn zhī wù ， dāng rán ， wǒ men huì jiāng qīng dān liè chū ， zài gěi chū dǐ jià de cái liào yǐ hòu ， shuí néng gòu é wài tí gōng de cái liào yuè duō ， yě jiù zuì hòu néng gòu pāi mài dào xiǎng yào de fú lù 。”
“与外面的拍卖会不同，这万符大会的拍卖，有的是用魔石竞价，价高者得，有的则是指名需要一些材料作为交换之物，当然，我们会将清单列出，再给出底价的材料以后，谁能够额外提供的材料越多，也就最后能够拍卖到想要的符箓。”
This two-headed魔族 had finally managed to get both the Heaven Stabilizing Magic Light and Shield符s. His face was filled with joy.
fù tiān héng huà yīn gāng luò ， xià miàn de xiū shì jiù yǐ jīng zhà kāi le guō 。
付天衡话音刚落，下面的修士就已经炸开了锅。
Lin Xuan shook his head in silent amusement. This guy really was adorable in his stupidity, spending 3 million魔stones on two符s without knowing what they were for.
yòng mó shí jìng jià zàn qiě bù shuō ， xià miàn nà zhǒng tí gōng cái liào de fāng shì hái zhēn shì méi yǒu tīng shuō ， bù guò zhòng mó yě méi yǒu yì yì shén me ， zhǐ yào gōng píng jiù xíng le 。
用魔石竞价暂且不说，下面那种提供材料的方式还真是没有听说，不过众魔也没有异议什么，只要公平就行了。
If he truly had a substantial amount of wealth, it would be understandable. But based on his cultivation level, these魔stones might well be all he had. Such actions could only be described as utterly foolish.
“ hǎo ， jì rán méi yǒu dào yǒu fǎn duì ， pāi mài huì jiù kāi shǐ le 。”
“好，既然没有道友反对，拍卖会就开始了。”
PS: Sorry for the late update. I have to go out tomorrow, and Huan Yu worked hard to prepare today's update for me. Of course, it can only be posted tomorrow; she almost collapsed from exhaustion. Please give me some recommendation votes!
"Five-thousand-year-old stone stalactites?"
"Not bad."
The woman's face showed a hint of difficulty, and she remained silent.
"How so? Fairy, do you have any difficulties?"
"I won't lie to my friend. If it were ordinary stone stalactites, I could make the decision. However, with those over five thousand years old, their yield is too low. Even for our family's use, we are still short of them, hence..."
"Can't this matter be flexible? No matter how rare this item may be, there must be something to exchange it with. I am very sincere."
"This..."
The woman in the official attire showed a hint of difficulty on her face. If an ordinary魔族 had made such a request, she would have definitely rejected it without hesitation. But before her was someone who, if her guess was correct, was likely at the peak of the Divination Realm.
If she really did that, would the other party be so angry as to lose their temper?
Dealing with beings of this level could bring no benefits either to herself or her family.
With such thoughts in mind, she already knew what she should do.

"1 million."
In just a short while, the Heaven Stabilizing Magic Shield符 was bid up to an astonishing price and continued climbing.
It finally sold for 1.8 million魔stones.
Even Fu Tianheng showed a hint of surprise on his face. Although this amount wasn't much to him, a mere magic shield was far beyond what he had expected.
Which unlucky soul bought it?
Scanning the crowd, he found that it was the same fellow who had just purchased the light magic符.
This two-headed魔族 had finally managed to get both the Heaven Stabilizing Magic Light and Shield符s. His face was filled with joy.
Lin Xuan shook his head in silent amusement. This guy really was adorable in his stupidity, spending 3 million魔stones on two符s without knowing what they were for.
If he truly had a substantial amount of wealth, it would be understandable. But based on his cultivation level, these魔stones might well be all he had. Such actions could only be described as utterly foolish.
PS: Sorry for the late update. I have to go out tomorrow, and Huan Yu worked hard to prepare today's update for me. Of course, it can only be posted tomorrow; she almost collapsed from exhaustion. Please give me some recommendation votes!
