dāng rán ， měi gè rén yǒu měi gè rén de xuǎn zé ， lín xuān zì rán yě bú huì qù duō guǎn xián shì shén me 。
当然，每个人有每个人的选择，林轩自然也不会去多管闲事什么。
Of course, everyone has their own choices. Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's affairs.
pāi mài huì jì xù 。
拍卖会继续。
The auction continued.
fù jiā jiā zhǔ qǔ chū yī zhāng yòu yī zhāng de fú zhuàn ， zú zú liǎng gè shí chén guò qù le ， zhè zhōng jiān ， què jī hū méi yǒu chū xiàn shén me liú pāi zhī wù 。
付家家主取出一张又一张的符篆，足足两个时辰过去了，这中间，却几乎没有出现什么流拍之物。
The head of the Fu Family took out one after another talisman and incantation, lasting for two full hours. During this time, there were almost no items that failed to sell.
dāng rán ， chéng jiāo de jià gé què shì gè bù xiāng tóng 。
当然，成交的价格却是各不相同。
However, the prices at which they sold varied greatly.
dàn cóng rú jīn de xíng shì lái kàn ， qián sān tiān de 〖 zì 〗 yóu jiāo huàn zàn qiě bù shuō ， guāng shì jīn tiān de pāi mài ， jiù zú yǐ ràng fù jiā zuàn de pén mǎn bō mǎn le ， guài bù dé wài jiè dōu shuō ， bái fú chéng fù jiā ， nà shì huò zhēn jià shí de fù dé liú yóu 。
但从如今的形势来看，前三天的〖自〗由交换暂且不说，光是今天的拍卖，就足以让付家赚得盆满钵满了，怪不得外界都说，白浮城付家，那是货真价实的富得流油。
From the current situation, even without considering the free exchange over the past three days, today's auction alone was enough to make the Fu Family rich beyond measure. No wonder outsiders said that the Fu Family in White Float City was truly a family of great wealth.
lín xuān zì rán bú huì yǎn hóng ， zhěng gè pāi mài huì ， tā hái bù céng chū shǒu 。
林轩自然不会眼红，整个拍卖会，他还不曾出手。
Lin Xuan naturally wasn't envious; he hadn't made any moves during the entire auction.
tōng guò yǔ nà gōng zhuāng měi fù de jiāo huàn ， lín xuān cǐ xíng de mù dì ， jī běn shàng yǐ jīng suàn shì dá dào le ， chú fēi shì chū xiàn yǒu shén me tè bié xiào guǒ de fú zhuàn ， fǒu zé tā bú huì qīng yì cān yù jìng pāi de 。
通过与那宫装美fù的交换，林轩此行的目的，基本上已经算是达到了，除非是出现有什么特别效果的符篆，否则他不会轻易参与竞拍的。
Through his exchange with the elegantly dressed woman, Lin Xuan had basically achieved his goal for this trip. Unless there were talismans with particularly special effects, he wouldn't easily participate in bidding.
yòu yī zhāng fú bèn chéng jiāo le ， lín xuān céng chū lüè shù guò ， duǎn duǎn liǎng gè shí chén ， fù jiā yǐ jīng pāi mài le jìn qiān zhāng fú zhuàn ， zài chǎng de mó zú ， hěn duō dōu yǒu le shōu huò 。
又一张符笨成交了，林轩曾初略数过，短短两个时辰，付家已经拍卖了近千张符篆，在场的魔族，很多都有了收获。
Another talisman was sold. Lin Xuan roughly counted that within two hours, the Fu Family had auctioned off nearly a thousand talismans and incantations. Many of the demons present had already gained some收获.
yǔ tōng cháng pāi mài shì yī yàng de ， yuè dào hòu miàn de fú zhuàn ， yuè zhēn xī ， dà jiā dōu zài cāi cè ， jiē xià lái hái huì chū xiàn shén me lìng rén tàn wéi guān zhǐ de dōng xī 。
与通常拍卖是一样的，越到后面的符篆，越珍稀，大家都在猜测，接下来还会出现什么令人叹为观止的东西。
Just like usual auctions, the later the talismans became, the rarer they were. Everyone speculated about what other amazing items might appear next.
fù jiā jiā zhǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ ：“ jiē xià lái ， jiāng jǔ xíng yā zhòu pāi mài ， wǒ men fù jiā ， jiāng ná chū shù zhāng chāo jīng pǐn fú zhuàn ， zài xià kě yǐ bǎo zhèng ， tóng yàng de fú ， zài qí tā dì fāng ， shì gēn běn jiàn bú dào de ， bù guò zài zhè zhī qián ， ràng wǒ men xiān xiū xī yī zhù xiāng de shí jiān 。
付家家主的声音传入了耳朵里：“接下来，将举行压轴拍卖，我们付家，将拿出数张超精品符篆，在下可以保证，同样的符，在其他地方，是根本见不到的，不过在这之前，让我们先休息一炷香的时间。
The head of the Fu Family's voice entered everyone's ears: "Next up will be the grand finale auction. We'll be offering several top-grade talismans and incantations from our family. I can assure you that such talismans are nowhere to be found elsewhere, but before we proceed, let us rest for a single incense stick."
huà yīn gāng luò ， fù tiān héng yě bù duō shuō ， zì gù zì de jiù cóng cè mén chū qù le ， ér xià miàn zé yǐ jīng zhà kāi le guō 。
话音刚落，付天衡也不多说，自顾自的就从侧门出去了，而下面则已经炸开了锅。
The moment he finished speaking, Fu Tianheng didn't say much more; instead, he left through the side door on his own. Below, however, the crowd erupted.
“ yǒu shén me hǎo xiū xī de ， shuǎ pāi mài ， jiù kuài diǎn 。”
“有什么好休息的，耍拍卖，就快点。”
"What's there to rest about? Let's get this auction over with quickly."
“ bù cuò ， nǎ ér yǒu tā men zhè yàng de ， guān jiàn shí kè ， què xiū xī ， zhè bú shì chéng xīn ràng rén zháo jí 。”
“不错，哪儿有他们这样的，关键时刻，却休息，这不是成心让人着急。”
"Exactly, why do they rest at such a crucial time? It’s clearly just making us anxious."
“ jiù shì ， fù jiā zhè shì shá yì ， jiǎn zhí tài bù hòu dào le xiē 。”
“就是，付家这是啥意，简直太不厚道了些。”
"Yes, what does the Fu Family think it is doing? They are being incredibly ungracious."
gǔ zào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhòng mó liǎn shàng jiē lù chū bù mǎn zhī sè， dāng rán ， yě yǒu bù shǎo chū cì cān jiā pāi mài huì de bèi gōu qǐ le hào qí ， sì chù dǎ tīng yā zhòu pāi mài shì shén me dōng xī ， chāo jīng pǐn fú zhuàn yòu shì zěn me huí shì 。
鼓噪的声音传入耳朵，众魔脸上皆lù出不满之sè，当然，也有不少初次参加拍卖会的被勾起了好奇，四处打听压轴拍卖是什么东西，超精品符篆又是怎么回事。
The noisy voices filled everyone's ears. The faces of many demons showed their dissatisfaction, but there were also quite a few newcomers who had been piqued by curiosity and were asking about the grand finale auction and top-grade talismans.
lín xuān liǎn pīng zé sī háo biǎo qíng yě wú ， rán ér xīn zhōng duì fù jiā yòu gāo kàn yì chéng le ， gāng gāng nà xiē pāi mài de fú zhuàn yǒu hěn duō ràng tā dōu xīn dòng bù yǐ ， yóu cǐ kě jiàn wài miàn duì fù jiā zhì fú shù de zàn yù què rán shì míng fù qí shí dì 。
林轩脸乒则丝毫表情也无，然而心中对付家又高看一成了，刚刚那些拍卖的符篆有很多让他都心动不已，由此可见外面对付家制符术的赞誉确然是名副其实地。
Lin Xuan remained expressionless on his face, but he secretly held even more respect for the Fu Family. Many of those recently auctioned talismans had left him in awe, which proved that the Fu Family's reputation for their alchemical skills was well-deserved.
bù jǐn rú cǐ ， gāi jiā zú què shí hěn huì zuò shēng yì ， guān jiàn shí kè ， jiāng zhòng mó liàng zài zhè lǐ ， bié kàn dà jiā kǒu tóu shàng bù mǎn ， qí shí fǎn ér zēng jiā le qī dài yǔ hào qí 。
不仅如此，该家族确实很会做生意，关键时刻，将众魔晾在这里，别看大家口头上不满，其实反而增加了期待与好奇。
Moreover, this family was indeed skilled at business. By leaving everyone here during such a critical moment, although they were grumbling on the surface, it actually increased their anticipation and curiosity.
yòng zhè yàng de xiǎo shǒu duàn ， yī huì er de yā zhòu pāi mài ， jiāng gèng jiā de huǒ bào wú bǐ 。
用这样的小手段，一会儿的压轴拍卖，将更加的火爆无比。
Such small tactics would make the grand finale auction even more spectacular in just a short while.
bǐ rú shuō ， lín xuān zì jǐ ， jiù duì fù tiān héng suǒ shuō de chāo jīng pǐn fú zhuàn chōng mǎn le hào qí ， zhì yú qí tā de gǔ mó ， nà jiù gèng bù yòng tí 。
比如说，林轩自己，就对付天衡所说的超精品符篆充满了好奇，至于其他的古魔，那就更不用提。
For instance, Lin Xuan himself was curious about the top-grade talismans mentioned by Fu Tianheng. The other ancient demons were no less interested.
duǎn duǎn yī zhù xiāng de shí jiān ， gěi rén de gǎn jué què xiàng shì dù rì rú nián 。
短短一炷香的时间，给人的感觉却像是度日如年。
The short hour felt like an eternity to everyone.
zhōng yú ， zhī ya yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cè mén dǎ kāi ， fù jiā jiā zhǔ qiān hū wàn huàn shǐ chū lái 。
终于，吱呀一声传入耳朵，侧门打开，付家家主千呼万唤始出来。
Finally, a creaking sound entered their ears as the side door opened, and the head of the Fu Family emerged after much urging.
ér qiě zhè yī huí ， tā bù zài shì gū jiā guǎ rén yí gè ， hòu miàn ， hái yǒu shù míng róng mào xiù lì de mó zú shì nǚ 。
而且这一回，他不再是孤家寡人一个，后面，还有数名容貌秀丽的魔族shì女。
This time, he wasn't alone; several beautiful-looking demon maidens followed behind him. Each maiden was only about seventeen or eighteen years old, though not necessarily breathtakingly beautiful, they were all first-rate in appearance and figure, almost worthy of being called "delicious to look at." However, everyone had come here for a reason other than admiring beauty.
zhè xiē shì nǚ ， měi yí gè dōu zhǐ yǒu shí qī bā suì nián jì ， suī shuō bù shàng jué sè měi nǚ ， dàn róng mào shēn cái ， yě dōu shì yī děng yī ， yòng xiù sè kě cān lái xíng róng yě bù wèi guò ， rán ér dà jiā lái dào cǐ dì ， kě bú shì wèi le kàn měi nǚ 。
这些shì女，每一个都只有十七八岁年纪，虽说不上绝sè美女，但容貌身材，也都是一等一，用秀sè可餐来形容也不为过，然而大家来到此地，可不是为了看美女。
These women held a small box made of sandalwood in their hands. The fragrance was pervasive, suggesting that the so-called top-grade talismans were contained within these boxes.
zhè xiē nǚ zǐ yǒu yí gè gòng tóng diǎn ， jiù shì tā men de shǒu zhōng ， dōu pěng zhe yí gè yòng tán mù suǒ zhì de yù hé ， fāng xiāng sì yì ， xiǎng bì nà suǒ wèi de chāo jīng pǐn fú zhuàn ， jiù shèng zhuāng zài zhè lǐ 。
这些女子有一个共同点，就是她们的手中，都捧着一个用檀木所制的玉盒，芳香四溢，想必那所谓的超精品符篆，就盛装在这里。
"Playing tricks."
“ gù nòng xuán xū 。”
“故弄玄虚。”
Lin Xuan inwardly scoffed but couldn't deny that this action had successfully caught his attention.
lín xuān xīn zhōng fù fěi le yī jù ， dàn bù dé bù chéng rèn duì fāng cǐ jǔ ， què shí shì qīng sōng xī yǐn le zì jǐ de zhù yì 。
林轩心中腹诽了一句，但不得不承认对方此举，确实是轻松吸引了自己的注意。
"Now then, let us begin the grand finale auction. There are three spirit talismans in total for today's auction, each one painstakingly crafted by our Fu Family using countless treasures and precious materials. Don’t miss out on this opportunity; my fellow daoists, don't hesitate to bid." The head of the Fu Family said as he waved his left hand, and the maiden standing beside him passed over a wooden box.
“ hǎo ， yā zhòu pāi mài xiàn zài kāi shǐ ， zhè cì yā zhòu pāi mài de gòng yǒu sān zhāng líng fú ， wú yī bú shì wǒ fù jiā fèi jǐn qiān xīn wàn kǔ ，huā fèi wú shù tiān cái dì bǎo cái liàn zhì ér chéng de ， zǒu guò lù guò bù róng cuò guò ， gè wèi dào yǒu yī huì er ， kě qiān wàn bú yào zuò shī liáng jī le 。” fù jiā jiā zhǔ yī biān shuō ， yī biān zuǒ shǒu yī fú ， zhàn zài tā zuǒ shǒu biān de dì yí gè shì nǚ jiù lóu guò lái le 。
“好，压轴拍卖现在开始，这次压轴拍卖的共有三张灵符，无一不是我付家费尽千辛万苦，huā费无数天才地宝才炼制而成的，走过路过不容错过，各位道友一会儿，可千万不要坐失良机了。”付家家主一边说，一边左手一拂，站在他左手边的第一个shì女就娄过来了。
Fu Tianheng took the wooden box with great care, his face showing a sense of reverence. He carefully opened it, and a faint green-colored talisman appeared before his eyes. At the same time, an aroma spread out, making one feel refreshed just by smelling it.
fù tiān héng jiē guò mù hé ， liǎn gòng lù chū zhēn ér zhòng zhī zhī sè， xiǎo xīn yì yì de dǎ kāi le ， líng guāng yī shǎn ， yī zhāng qiǎn lǜ sè de fú zhuàn jiù yìng rù yǎn lián ， yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， yī gǔ xiāng qì mí sàn ér chū ， jǐn jǐn shì wén wén jiù ràng rén hún shēn shū fú 。
付天衡接过木盒，脸共lù出珍而重之之sè，小心翼翼的打开了，灵光一闪，一张浅绿sè的符篆就映入眼帘，与此同时，一股香气弥散而出，仅仅是闻闻就让人浑身舒服。
"What kind of talisman is this?"
“ zhè shì shén me fú ？”
“这是什么符？”
Lin Xuan's curiosity was immediately piqued. Although he had seen many things in his travels, he hadn't encountered any talismans that could make one feel so comfortable just from their scent.
lín xuān xīn zhōng de hào qí xīn dùn shí bèi diào qǐ lái le ， tā yě suàn jiàn shí guǎng bó ， rán ér zhè zhǒng jǐn jǐn shì wén yī xià jiù ràng rén hún shēn shū tài de fú zhuàn zhēn méi yǒu jiàn guò 。
林轩心中的好奇心顿时被吊起来了，他也算见识广博，然而这种仅仅是闻一下就让人浑身舒泰的符篆真没有见过。
The saying "a different trade means a different world" came to mind.
gé háng rú gé shān jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ le 。
隔行如隔山就是这个道理了。
There was no other choice but to wait for the head of the Fu Family to reveal the result.
shì dào rú jīn yě méi yǒu bié de xuǎn zé ， zhǐ néng shì děng dài fù jiā jiā zhǔ chū lái jiē xiǎo jié guǒ 。
事到如今也没有别的选择，只能是等待付家家主出来揭晓结果。
Other ancient demons had similar expressions; they were all seeing such fragrant talismans for the first time.
qí tā gǔ mó de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō ， rú cǐ fāng xiāng sì yì de fú zhuàn shéi dōu shì chū cì dé jiàn de 。
其他古魔的表情也差不多，如此芳香四溢的符篆谁都是初次得见的。
"This item is called the Reviving Talisman. It has healing effects," Fu Tianheng said with a smile, but before he could finish, the crowd below was already staring in disbelief and even starting to make noise out of excitement.
“ cǐ wù míng jiào qǐ sǐ huí shēng fú ， yǒu liáo shāng de xiào guǒ 。” fù tiān héng xiào yín yín de shuō ， rán ér huà yīn wèi luò ， xià miàn de xiū shì yí gè gè què yǐ shì chēng mù jié shé ，xìng jí de shèn zhì yǐ jīng gǔ zào qǐ lái le 。
“此物名叫起死回生符，有疗伤的效果。”付天衡笑吟吟的说，然而话音未落，下面的修士一个个却已是瞠目结舌，xìng急的甚至已经鼓噪起来了。
"Are you serious? Healing talismans are nothing special; why should they be considered top-grade treasures?"
“ yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， liáo shāng zhì bìng de fú zhuàn ， nà yǒu shén me xī qí le ， hái yā zhòu bǎo wù 。”
“有没有搞错，疗伤治病的符篆，那有什么稀奇了，还压轴宝物。”
"Yes, is the head of the Fu Family not clear-headed or just trying to tease us for fun?"
“ jiù shì ， fù jiā zhǔ shì bú shì tóu nǎo bù qīng chǔ ， hái shì jué de xì nòng wǒ men hǎo wán ne ？”
“就是，付家主是不是头脑不清楚，还是觉得戏弄我们好玩呢？”
"The Reviving Talisman, what a grandiose claim. Can it really bring back the dead and turn flesh into bone."
“ qǐ sǐ huí shēng fú ， hú chuī dà qì ， nán dào xī hái zhēn néng huó sǐ rén ròu bái gǔ 。”
“起死回生符，胡吹大气，难道牺还真能活死人肉白骨。”
Various discussions filled everyone's ears, with most ancient demons showing disapproval on their faces. This was understandable; in the cultivation world, while healing potions were common, they weren't highly sought after due to their limited demand and low prices. Talismans were even less so, as their healing effects often fell short of those of potions.
gè zhǒng gè yàng de yì lùn shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhòng gǔ mó de liǎn shàng dà duō shì bù yǐ wéi rán zhī sè， zhè yě shì nán guài de ， jiù xiū xiān jiè de qíng kuàng lái shuō ， liáo shāng zhì bìng de dān yào suī shì cháng bèi zhī wù ， dàn xū qiú bù duō ， jià gé yě xiàng lái shì bù zěn me shòu rén dài jiàn de ， gèng bú yào shuō fú zhuàn ， liáo shāng de xiào guǒ ， duō bàn hái bǐ bù shàng dān yào le 。
各种各样的议论声传入耳朵，众古魔的脸上大多是不以为然之sè，这也是难怪的，就修仙界的情况来说，疗伤治病的丹药虽是常备之物，但需求不多，价格也向来是不怎么受人待见的，更不要说符篆，疗伤的效果，多半还比不上丹药了。
Thus, it wasn't surprising that the demons mocked them. However, Lin Xuan's view was different.
yě jiù nán guài zhòng mó men huì lěng cháo rè fěng ， rán ér lín xuān de kàn fǎ què bìng bù xiāng tóng 。
也就难怪众魔们会冷嘲热讽，然而林轩的看法却并不相同。
The head of the Fu Family was a shrewd individual, and the Fu Family’s alchemical skills were indeed formidable. If this item had no outstanding features, why would it be considered as a top-grade treasure?
zhè fù jiā jiā zhǔ kě shì pǒ yǒu xīn jī de rén wù ， fù jiā de zhì fú shù yě què shí fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jiǎ rú cǐ wù méi yǒu chū zhòng zhī chù ， yòu zěn me huì zuò wéi yā zhòu de bǎo bèi ne ？
这付家家主可是颇有心机的人物，付家的制符术也确实非同小可，假如此物没有出众之处，又怎么会作为压轴的宝贝呢？
Many people in the hall shared this thought. Although ancient demons were generally more temperamental than cultivators, they weren't all fools who could live for over a thousand years.
dà tīng zhōng ， cún zhè zhǒng xiǎng fǎ de rén hěn duō ， suī rán gǔ mó yǔ xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， tiān shēng xìng gé jiù yào bào zào yī xiē ， dàn néng gòu huó qiān nián yǐ shàng de rén wù ， yòu zěn me kě néng jìn shì shǎ guā ne ？
大厅中，存这种想法的人很多，虽然古魔与修士相比，天生xìng格就要暴躁一些，但能够活千年以上的人物，又怎么可能尽是傻瓜呢？
Sure enough, after some noise from the crowd, Fu Tianheng spoke calmly: "Indeed, while the Reviving Talisman cannot bring back the dead and turn flesh into bone, its true effects are not far off."
guǒ rán ， děng zhòng mó gǔ zào piàn kè ， fù tiān héng cái bù huāng bù máng de kāi kǒu le ：“ bù cuò ， zhè qǐ sǐ huí shēng fú ， suī rán bù néng zuò dào huó sǐ rén ， ròu bái gǔ ， dàn zhēn zhèng de gōng xiào ， yě chà bù liǎo xǔ duō ”
果然，等众魔鼓噪片刻，付天衡才不慌不忙的开口了：“不错，这起死回生符，虽然不能做到活死人，肉白骨，但真正的功效，也差不了许多”
This statement immediately drew everyone's attention. After all, comparing it to bringing back the dead and turning flesh into bone was a bold claim in the cultivation world.
zhè huà yī chū ， zhòng mó de zhù yì lì ， dùn shí bèi xī yǐn guò qù le 。
这话一出，众魔的注意力，顿时被吸引过去了。
Almost everyone in the hall perked up their ears.
bì jìng ， duì fāng kě shì ná huó sǐ rén ， ròu bái gǔ dǎ bǐ fāng ， zhè zhǒng shuō fǎ ， zài xiū xiān jiè ， nà yě shì chuán shuō ， chà bu duō shì zěn me yī zhǒng chéng dù ne ？
毕竟，对方可是拿活死人，肉白骨打比方，这种说法，在修仙界，那也是传说，差不多是怎么一种程度呢？
Fu Tianheng, being such an experienced individual, precisely wanted this result. He remained expressionless on his face but felt satisfied inside. Clearing his throat, he continued: "Indeed, the Reviving Talisman is primarily for healing, but its effects far surpass those of ordinary potions. No matter how severe your injuries are or how damaged your body is, as long as you haven't perished, using this talisman immediately can restore you to full health in a very short time."!。
Of course, everyone has their own choices. Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's affairs.
The auction continued.
The head of the Fu Family took out one after another talisman and incantation, lasting for two full hours. During this time, there were almost no items that failed to sell.
However, the prices at which they sold varied greatly.
From the current situation, even without considering the free exchange over the past three days, today's auction alone was enough to make the Fu Family rich beyond measure. No wonder outsiders said that the Fu Family in White Float City was truly a family of great wealth.
Lin Xuan naturally wasn't envious; he hadn't made any moves during the entire auction.
Through his exchange with the elegantly dressed woman, Lin Xuan had basically achieved his goal for this trip. Unless there were talismans with particularly special effects, he wouldn't easily participate in bidding.
"Snap."
Another talisman was sold. Lin Xuan roughly counted that within two hours, the Fu Family had auctioned off nearly a thousand talismans and incantations. Many of the demons present had already gained some收获.
Just like usual auctions, the later the talismans became, the rarer they were. Everyone speculated about what other amazing items might appear next.

This statement immediately drew everyone's attention. After all, comparing it to bringing back the dead and turning flesh into bone was a bold claim in the cultivation world.
Almost everyone in the hall perked up their ears.
Fu Tianheng, being such an experienced individual, precisely wanted this result. He remained expressionless on his face but felt satisfied inside. Clearing his throat, he continued: "Indeed, the Reviving Talisman is primarily for healing, but its effects far surpass those of ordinary potions. No matter how severe your injuries are or how damaged your body is, as long as you haven't perished, using this talisman immediately can restore you to full health in a very short time."!。
