zhēn de jiǎ de ?
真的假的?
Is this for real?
“ bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de wán měi tì jié fú , shì jiān hái zhēn yǒu rú cǐ shén qí zhī wù ?“
“百分之百的完美替劫符,世间还真有如此神奇之物?“
"Perfect Substitute Tribulation Talisman, a genuine one. Is there really such a miraculous item in the world?"
“ fù jiā guǒ rán liǎo de , jū rán lián rú cǐ pǐn jiē de fú zhuàn dōu néng gòu qīng sōng liàn chū .“
“付家果然了得,居然连如此品阶的符篆都能够轻松炼出.“
"The Fu Family truly excels; they can even easily refine talismans of such high grade."
“ hēi , zhè zhāng fú zhuàn , zhōu mǒu yào dìng le .“
“嘿,这张符篆,周某要定了.“
"Hmph, I'll take this talisman," Zhou Yan said with a grin.
“ yào dìng , nǐ suàn gè shén me dōng xī , qū qū yī lí hé jí bié de jiā huo , yě gǎn zài zhè lǐ hú chuī dà qì , gǔn yī biān qù .“
“要定,你算个什么东西,区区一离合级别的家伙,也敢在这里胡吹大气,滚一边去.“
"You think you're something special? Just a mere Level Separation cultivator, daring to boast here. Get lost."
páng biān yī gǔ mó , méi hǎo qì de shuō , yī biān shuō , yī biān hái kuáng tūn tuò mò , yǎn zhū zi dōu kuài luò dào tái shàng qù le , rán ér tā xīn zhōng hěn qīng chǔ , zì jǐ kǒng pà yě méi yǒu shén me jī huì , lái jìng zhēng zhè zhāng fú .
旁边一古魔,没好气的说,一边说,一边还狂吞唾沫,眼珠子都快落到台上去了,然而他心中很清楚,自己恐怕也没有什么机会,来竞争这张符.
A nearby ancient demon wasn't happy and said so, spitting out saliva as his eyes practically fell onto the stage. However, he knew very well that he likely had no chance of competing for this talisman.
ruò shì yì bān zhī wù yě jiù bà le , wán měi tì jié fú yì wèi zhe shén me , shǎ guā dōu qīng chǔ .
若是一般之物也就罢了,完美替劫符意味着什么,傻瓜都清楚.
While ordinary items might not matter much, a Perfect Substitute Tribulation Talisman meant something to anyone who understood its value.
cǐ fú zài guān jiàn shí kè , kě shì néng jiù mìng de .
此符在关键时刻,可是能救命的.
In critical moments, it could save one's life.
xiū xiān jiè duō xuè yǔ xīng fēng , shuí bù xiǎng suí shí suí dì , huái chuāi yī zhāng bǎo mìng zhī wù ?
修仙界多血雨腥风,谁不想随时随地,怀揣一张保命之物?
The cultivation world was full of blood and gore; who wouldn't want to carry a talisman that could save their life at any time?
zhōu wéi de gǔ mó , bù lùn xiū wèi qiáng ruò , cǐ shí cǐ kè , yí gè èr gè , yǎn jīng dōu yǐ rán fàng guāng le .
周围的古魔,不论修为强弱,此时此刻,一个二个,眼睛都已然放光了.
Around the ancient demons, regardless of their strength, their eyes were already shining with anticipation.
kě yǐ xiǎng xiàng , zhè zhāng fú lù , chéng jiāo de jià gé bì rán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě , nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ miáo shù .
可以想象,这张符箓,成交的价格必然是非同小可,难以用言语描述.
One can imagine how much this talisman would fetch—certainly not something easily described in words.
dà tīng zhōng xī qì de shēng yīn cǐ qǐ bǐ fú , gǔ mó men de zhù yì lì , wán quán bèi xī yǐn dào le zhè lǐ .
大厅中吸气的声音此起彼伏,古魔们的注意力,完全被吸引到了这里.
The hall was filled with the sounds of people drawing breath as everyone's attention was completely on this.
lín xuān de fǎn yìng yě chà bu duō , zhè shí hòu zài bù dòng shēng sè , nà fǎn ér róng yì zhāo rén huái yí .
林轩的反应也差不多,这时候再不动声色,那反而容易招人怀疑.
Lin Xuan reacted similarly; if he didn't act now, it might raise suspicion.
wán měi tì jié fú , tā zhì zài bì děi .
完美替劫符,他志在必得.
He wanted to get his hands on the Perfect Substitute Tribulation Talisman.
fù tiān héng de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī dé sè , zhè hé xiào guǒ , wán quán dá dào le tā de yù qī , bù wǎng yī fān zuò zuò , zhè cái yī shēng qīng ké , yì yáng dùn cuò de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ :
付天衡的脸上露出一丝得色,这和效果,完全达到了他的预期,不枉一番做作,这才一声轻咳,抑扬顿挫的声音传入耳朵:
Fu Tianheng's face showed a hint of satisfaction. This exactly met his expectations after all his efforts. He cleared his throat and said in a modulated voice:
“ zhè wán měi tì jié fú , jí shǐ wǒ fù jiā xiǎng yào liàn zhì , yě bú shì yī jiàn róng yì zhī shì , zhī suǒ yǐ jiāng xī ná chū , shì yào huàn qǔ yī xiē jí xū zhī wù , suǒ yǐ zhè yī cì jìng pāi , jiù bú shì yòng mó shí , ér shì cái liào , wǒ fù jiā huì zhǐ míng yī xiē xū yào de 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 dào zhè zhāng wán měi tì jié fú .“
“这完美替劫符,即使我付家想要炼制,也不是一件容易之事,之所以将牺拿出,是要换取一些急需之物,所以这一次竞拍,就不是用魔石,而是材料,我付家会指名一些需要的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,也就最后能够拍到这张完美替劫符.“
"This Perfect Substitute Tribulation Talisman is not something we can easily refine even if it were our Fu Family. The reason I'm offering it up for exchange is to get some urgently needed materials. Therefore, this auction will use specific materials instead of magic stones. My family will list the required materials and provide a base price. Whoever can offer more additional materials will have the best chance of getting this Perfect Substitute Tribulation Talisman."
cǐ huà yī chū , xià miàn de gǔ mó , shén sè kě jiù gè yì le .
此话一出,下面的古魔,神色可就各异了.
This announcement caused different reactions among the ancient demons.
yǒu rén huān xǐ yǒu rén chóu .
有人欢喜有人愁.
Some were happy while others were worried.
yǔ mó shí bù tóng , suī rán xiū xiān suǒ xū yào yòng dào de cái liào , shuí shēn shàng dū huì duō shǎo dài shàng yì diǎn dàn shuí zhī dào fù jiā huì zhǐ míng yào nǎ hé , rú cǐ yī lái , yī xiē shēn jiā fēng hòu de gǔ mó , yě liǎn lù nán sè kàn lái néng bù néng jìng zhēng dào zhè zhāng tì jié fú , chú le pò lì , yùn qì de chéng fèn nà yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě .
与魔石不同,虽然修仙所需要用到的材料,谁身上都会多少带上一点但谁知道付家会指名要哪和,如此一来,一些身家丰厚的古魔,也脸露难色看来能不能竞争到这张替劫符,除了魄力,运气的成分那也是非同小可.
Unlike magic stones, while cultivation materials could be carried by anyone to some extent, no one knew which specific items Fu Family would demand. This made even wealthy ancient demons look uncertain. The outcome of this competition depended not only on courage and luck but also on the quality of offered materials.
dōng dōng , bù shǎo gǔ mó dōu jǐn zhāng qǐ lái le , yǎn bā bā de děng dài zhe fù jiā jiā zhǔ jiē xiǎo jié guǒ .
咚咚,不少古魔都紧张起来了,眼巴巴的等待着付家家主揭晓结果.
Ding sounds echoed as many ancient demons grew tense, eagerly waiting for the Fu family's patriarch to reveal the list.
fù tiān héng de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī xiào róng :“ dà jiā kàn hǎo le , lǎo dà zhè jiù jiāng qīng dān liè chū .“
付天衡的脸上露出一丝笑容:“大家看好了,老大这就将清单列出.“
Fu Tianheng smiled: "Everyone, pay attention; I'll now present the list."
huà yīn gāng luò , tā xiù páo yī chā , yí gè juàn zhóu cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér chū .
话音刚落,他袖袍一插,一个卷轴从衣袖中飞掠而出.
With a wave of his sleeve, a scroll flew out.
hēi guāng shǎn guò , yí gè dīng dòu dà de zhuàn wén jiù yìng rù le yǎn lián zhōng .
黑光闪过,一个叮斗大的篆文就映入了眼帘中.
A black light flashed, and an inscription appeared before everyone's eyes.
suǒ yǒu gǔ mó jiē yáng qǐ tóu lú , hái yǒu rén qīng shēng dú chū :“ tiān xiān téng dài dài huā , pú huáng cǎo , huái niú xī , chē qián zǐ , xiāng jiā qǐ ……,……,
所有古魔皆扬起头颅,还有人轻声读出:“天仙藤玳玳花,蒲黄草,怀牛膝,车前子,香加起……,……,
All ancient demons raised their heads, with some even whispering the names aloud:
líng yào zú yǒu jìn bǎi wèi zhī duō , qián miàn yí bàn shì gè hé zhí wù , hòu miàn yí bàn zé shì mó shòu de pí máo gǔ lóu .
灵药足有近百味之多,前面一半是各和植物,后面一半则是魔兽的皮毛骨髅.
"Heavenly Immortal Vine Dadihua, Puhuang Grass, Huai Niuji, Cheqianzi, Xiang Jia Qi...
kàn wán yǐ hòu , jué dà bù fèn gǔ mó dōu liǎn lù nán sè , dàn yě yǒu jí shǎo shù yǎn zhōng shǎn dòng zhe jī dòng de guāng fǎ .
看完以后,绝大部分古魔都脸露难色,但也有极少数眼中闪动着激动的光法.
There were nearly a hundred precious herbs in total. The first half consisted of various plants while the second half included parts from魔兽.
píng xīn lái shuō , zhè xiē líng yào dōu shì pǒ wèi zhēn xī zhī wù , dàn yě bìng fēi kě yù ér bù kě qiú , fǒu zé , wán měi tì jié fú zài fēi tóng xiǎo kě , yě bù kě néng jià zhí zhè me duō tiān cái dì bǎo le .
平心来说,这些灵药都是颇为珍稀之物,但也并非可遇而不可求,否则,完美替劫符再非同小可,也不可能价值这么多天材地宝了.
After reading it, most ancient demons showed signs of difficulty, but a few excited glints could be seen in their eyes.
fù jiā liè chū zhè fèn qīng dān , nà yě shì pǒ fèi sī kǎo , jì kě dà zhuàn yī bǐ , yòu bú huì shòu rén yǐ bǐng yǒu shī zi dà kāi kǒu zhī xián , fǒu zé tì jié fú zài shì bǎo mìng zhī wù , ruò shì míng xiǎn huì chī kuī xǔ duō , yě bú huì yǒu rén yuàn yì jiāo huàn de .
付家列出这份清单,那也是颇费思考,既可大赚一笔,又不会授人以柄有狮子大开口之嫌,否则替劫符再是保命之物,若是明显会吃亏许多,也不会有人愿意交换的.
To be honest, these herbs were indeed rare and valuable, but not impossible to obtain. Otherwise, the Perfect Substitute Tribulation Talisman wouldn't hold such value.
xiū xiān zhě , bù lùn rén lèi hái shì gǔ mó , nà kě dōu shì líng lóng tī tòu de jiā huo , hěn shǎo huì yǒu shǎ guā .
修仙者,不论人类还是古魔,那可都是玲珑剔透的家伙,很少会有傻瓜.
Fu Family's list was well thought out; it allowed for significant profits without giving anyone an easy advantage.
“ zhè xiē cái liào dīng mǒu kě yǐ ná chū , tì jié fú wǒ yào le .“ yī cū háo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , shuō huà de shì yī dà hàn mú yàng de gǔ mó , zhǎng dé hái shì yǔ rén lèi pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù , kě xī jī shēn shàng xià , dōu bèi lín piàn bāo guǒ .
“这些材料丁某可以拿出,替劫符我要了.“一粗豪的声音传入耳朵,说话的是一大汉模样的古魔,长得还是与人类颇有几分相似之处,可惜激身上下,都被鳞片包裹.
A rough voice entered everyone's ears: "I can provide these materials. I'll take the Substitute Tribulation Talisman."
“ nǐ yào le , hǎo dà de kǒu qì , zhè xiē cái liào , yòu bìng fēi nǐ yī rén kě yǐ ná chū , zhēn mǒu yě kě , fù jiā zhǔ , jiāng tì jié fú huàn yǔ wǒ rú hé , wǒ yǔ fù jiā , kě shì yǒu yī xiē jiāo qíng de .
“你要了,好大的口气,这些材料,又并非你一人可以拿出,甄某也可,付家主,将替劫符换与我如何,我与付家,可是有一些交情的.
The speaker was a large, human-like ancient demon with scales covering his body.
lìng yī gǔ mó yě cóng wèi zi shàng zhàn le qǐ lái , zhè jiā huo , méi yǒu bí zi , rán ér liǎn shàng , què zhǎng le dà dà xiǎo xiǎo gòng liù duì yǎn jīng lái zhe , chǒu lòu dào jí chù .
另一古魔也从位子上站了起来,这家伙,没有鼻子,然而脸上,却长了大大小小共六对眼睛来着,丑陋到极处.
"Good talk. These materials aren't just for you; Jia'ern, you also want it?" another ancient demon stood up. He had six eyes of different sizes on his face, making him extremely ugly.
zhè jiā huo , hái shì pǒ yǒu xīn jī de , zài cái liào xiāng tóng de qíng kuàng xià , diǎn míng zì jǐ yǔ fù jiā de guān xì bù cuò , mù dì jiù shì yào duì fāng zhī nán ér tuì .
这家伙,还是颇有心机的,在材料相同的情况下,点名自己与付家的关系不错,目的就是要对方知难而退.
In the same situation, he pointed out his good relationship with the Fu Family to deter potential competitors. After all, in such conditions, it was always better for the materials to go to someone who could use them.
bì jìng , zài tóng děng tiáo jiàn xià , nà kěn dìng shì féi shuǐ bù liú wài rén tián .
毕竟,在同等条件下,那肯定是肥水不流外人田.
However, before he finished speaking, another rough voice echoed: "Good relations? Auctions are won by the highest bidder; Jia'ern, do you dare break the rules?"
rán ér , tā huà yīn wèi luò , yòu yǒu yī cū háo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ :“ guān xì hǎo yòu rú hé , pāi mài huì shì jià gāo zhě dé , zhēn lǎo èr , mò fēi nǐ gǎn pò huài guī jǔ bù chéng me ?
然而,他话音未落,又有一粗豪的声音传入耳朵:“关系好又如何,拍卖会是价高者得,甄老二,莫非你敢破坏规矩不成么?
With his words, a terrifying spiritual pressure descended on the entire hall. Lower-grade and Spirit婴 cultivators fell to the ground one after another.
suí zhe tā de huà yǔ , yī gǔ kě bù de líng yā hōng rán ér luò , zhěng gè dà tīng , dōu bèi lǒng zhào zhù , pēng pēng pēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , nà xiē xiū wèi jiào dī , yuán yīng jí bié de gǔ mó yí gè gè zhàn lì bú zhù , quán bù shuāi dǎo zài dì le .
随着他的话语,一股可怖的灵压轰然而落,整个大厅,都被笼罩住,嘭嘭嘭的声音传入耳朵,那些修为较低,元婴级别的古魔一个个站立不住,全部摔倒在地了.
Even those at the Separation stage struggled, each having to release protective demonic qi around them. Their faces were pale.
biàn shì lí hé qī cún zài yě bù hǎo guò , yí gè gè dōu zhǐ hǎo fàng chū hù tǐ mó qì , jí biàn rú cǐ , liǎn sè yī jiù shì cǎn bái cǎn bái de .
便是离合期存在也不好过,一个个都只好放出护体魔气,即便如此,脸色依旧是惨白惨白的.
The surrounding gasps continued.
sì zhōu de jīng hū shēng gèng shì cǐ qǐ bǐ fú .
四周的惊呼声更是此起彼伏.
"Immortal Profound Realm Saint Clan!"
“ dòng xuán qī shèng zú !“
“洞玄期圣族!“
"And a late-stage expert."
“ ér qiě hái shì hòu qī gāo shǒu .“
“而且还是后期高手.“
"Eh, I recognize this guy; isn't he the Elder of Black Water City?"
“ yí , yǒu diǎn yǎn shú , nán dào shì hēi shuǐ chéng de dà zhǎng lǎo me ?“
“咦,有点眼熟,难道是黑水城的大长老么?“
"Judging by his appearance, it seems so. With a city backing him up, his influence far surpasses that of other same-level saints."
“ kàn shēn xíng xiāng mào yīng gāi méi cuò , yǒu yī chéng zuò wèi hòu dùn , zhè jiā huo de yǐng xiǎng lì kě shì yuǎn fēi tóng jiē shèng zú néng gòu bǐ nǐ de .“
“看身形相貌应该没错,有一城做为后盾,这家伙的影响力可是远非同阶圣族能够比拟的.“
Various comments filled the air as Fu Tianheng's face showed surprise: "It turns out Brother Ding from Black Water City has arrived in White Float; I should have greeted you properly."
yì lùn shēng fēn fēn chuán rù ěr duǒ , lián fù tiān héng de liǎn shàng dōu lù chū jǐ fēn yì wài zhī sè :“ yuán lái shì hēi shuǐ chéng dīng xiōng jià lín bái fú , zài xià dǎo shì yǒu shī yuǎn yíng le .“
议论声纷纷传入耳朵,连付天衡的脸上都露出几分意外之色:“原来是黑水城丁兄驾临白浮,在下倒是有失远迎了.“
"Fu Family Lord, no need to be so formal. Besides the materials mentioned earlier, I'm willing to add two million more magic stones for the Substitute Tribulation Talisman. How about it?"
“ fù jiā zhǔ bù yòng kè qì , chú le yǐ shàng nà xiē cái liào , dīng mǒu yuàn yì zài jiā liǎng bǎi wàn mó shí , nǐ jiāng tì jié fú huàn gěi wǒ , bù zhī dào yǒu yì xià rú hé ?“
“付家主不用客气,除了以上那些材料,丁某愿意再加两百万魔石,你将替劫符换给我,不知道友意下如何?“
This was a genuine offer.
duì fāng zhè me shuō , nà yě suàn shì hěn yǒu chéng yì le .
对方这么说,那也算是很有诚意了.
With such a large list of materials and an additional two million magic stones, even if it were a Perfect Substitute Tribulation Talisman, its value would be around this amount.
zài rú cǐ duō cái liào de jī chǔ shàng , zài jiā liǎng bǎi wàn mó shí , jiù suàn shì wán měi tì jié fú , zuì duō yīng gāi yě zhǐ zhí zhè ge shù .
在如此多材料的基础上,再加两百万魔石,就算是完美替劫符,最多应该也只值这个数.
However, Fu Tianheng shook his head: "Brother Ding's good intentions are appreciated, but I'm afraid I can't agree."
rán ér fù tiān héng què yáo le yáo tóu :“ dīng xiōng hǎo yì , bù guò qǐng shù fù mǒu bù néng dā yìng nǐ .“
然而付天衡却摇了摇头:“丁兄好意,不过请恕付某不能答应你.“
"Why not?"
“ wèi hé ?“
“为何?“
The Elder of Black Water City's face changed. Was someone trying to undermine him? His expression darkened.
nà wèi hēi shuǐ chéng dà zhǎng lǎo liǎn sè yī biàn , duì fāng yào xuē zì jǐ miàn zi me , xiǎng dào zhè lǐ , tā de liǎn sè yǒu xiē yīn chén le .
那位黑水城大长老脸色一变,对方要削自己面子么,想到这里,他的脸色有些阴沉了.
Fu Tianheng ignored it and smiled: "I apologize for the inconvenience, Brother Ding. It's not that we're having a hard time; rules are always rules. As you just said, auctions are won by the highest bidder, regardless of personal connections."
rán ér fù tiān héng què shì ruò wú dǔ , biǎo qíng yī jiù shì xiào yín yín de :“ dīng xiōng jiàn liàng , bìng fēi zài xià yǒu wéi nán zhī yì , zhǐ shì guī jǔ shǐ zhōng shì guī jǔ , dào yǒu gāng gāng bù yě shuō le , pāi mài shì jià gāo zhě dé , yǔ jiāo qíng shēn fèn bìng méi yǒu guān xì shén me .“
然而付天衡却视若无睹,表情依旧是笑吟吟的:“丁兄见谅,并非在下有为难之意,只是规矩始终是规矩,道友刚刚不也说了,拍卖是价高者得,与交情身份并没有关系什么.“
"..."
“ zhè ……“
“这……“
The Elder of Black Water City was taken aback, his expression turning even more miserable. He had used his own argument against himself.
hēi shuǐ chéng dà zhǎng lǎo yī è , liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng dùn shí bǐ kū hái nán kàn le , yǐ jǐ zhī máo , gōng jǐ zhī dùn , tā zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng , gāng cái jiào xùn zhēn lǎo èr de huà , zhè me kuài , jiù bèi huán gěi zì jǐ le .
黑水城大长老一愕,脸上的表情顿时比哭还难看了,以己之矛,攻己之盾,他做梦也不曾想,刚才教训甄老二的话,这么快,就被还给自己了.
Anger surged within him, but he couldn't show it publicly with so many people watching. How could he face such a situation?
Is this for real?
"Perfect Substitute Tribulation Talisman, a genuine one. Is there really such a miraculous item in the world?"
"The Fu Family truly excels; they can even easily refine talismans of such high grade."
"Hmph, I'll take this talisman," Zhou Yan said with a grin.
"You think you're something special? Just a mere Level Separation cultivator, daring to boast here. Get lost."
A nearby ancient demon wasn't happy and said so, spitting out saliva as his eyes practically fell onto the stage. However, he knew very well that he likely had no chance of competing for this talisman.
While ordinary items might not matter much, a Perfect Substitute Tribulation Talisman meant something to anyone who understood its value.
In critical moments, it could save one's life.
The cultivation world was full of blood and gore; who wouldn't want to carry a talisman that could save their life at any time?
Around the ancient demons, regardless of their strength, their eyes were already shining with anticipation.
One can imagine how much this talisman would fetch—certainly not something easily described in words.
The hall was filled with the sounds of people drawing breath as everyone's attention was completely on this.
Lin Xuan reacted similarly; if he didn't act now, it might raise suspicion.
