suí hòu yīn fēng dà zuò ， yī dào huī bái sè de shī dú cóng lǐ miàn fēi lüè ér chū ， yī guāng zhì xià ， xiàn chū le yī xíng mào zhēng níng de guài wù 。
随后yīn风大做，一道灰白sè的尸毒从里面飞掠而出，一光志下，现出了一形貌狰狞的怪物。
Subsequently, Yin Wind made a grand display. A grayish-white corpse poison shot out from within, and with a flash of light, the form of a grotesque monster appeared.
zài chǎng gǔ mó jiē shì yuán yīng qī yǐ shàng de ， jiàn shí bù kě wèi bù guǎng bó ， zì rán néng gòu yī yǎn jiù qīng sōng rèn chū ， rán ér yǔ yì bān de liàn shī bù tóng ， cǐ guài wù tōng tǐ chéng xiàn chū dàn yín zhī sè， ér qiě shēn cái yě yào bǐ pǔ tōng de liàn shī gāo dà dé duō ， yóu qí yǐn rén zhǔ mù de shì ， xī de bèi hòu ， yǒu yī duì yín sè de chì bǎng ， kàn shàng qù jiù xiàng biān fú de yī yàng ， yě shì yín sè， cuǐ càn ér duó mù 。
在场古魔皆是元婴期以上的，见识不可谓不广博，自然能够一眼就轻松认出，然而与一般的炼尸不同，此怪物通体呈现出淡银之sè，而且身材也要比普通的炼尸高大得多，尤其引人瞩目的是，牺的背后，有一对银sè的翅膀，看上去就像蝙蝠的一样，也是银sè，璀璨而夺目。
All present ancient demons were at least at the Core Formation stage or above, so their horizons were broad enough to recognize it instantly. However, unlike ordinary炼尸, this monster's entire body was tinged silver, and its size was much larger than that of common炼尸. Particularly eye-catching was a pair of silver wings on its back, resembling those of a bat, also in silver, dazzling and eye-catching.
yín chì shī wáng ！
银翅尸王！
Silver-Winged Corpse King!
cǐ liàn shī yī cóng líng guǐ dài lǐ miàn chū lái ， lì kè yuán zhēng shuāng mù ， kǒu zhōng yǒu “ hè hè ” de guài hǒu shēng chuán chū ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì ， yī gǔ kě pà de líng yā cóng tiān ér luò ， pī lǐ pā lā zhī shēng dà zuò ， líng yā běn shì yǒu zhì wú xíng zhī wù ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què fǎng fú ròu yǎn kě jiàn shì de 。
此炼尸一从灵鬼袋里面出来，立刻圆睁双目，口中有“赫赫”的怪吼声传出，与之伴随的是，一股可怕的灵压从天而落，噼里啪啦之声大做，灵压本是有质无形之物，然而此时此刻，却仿佛肉眼可见似的。
The moment the炼尸 came out from the Spirit Ghost Bag, it immediately opened its eyes wide, emitting a strange roar "Huhu." Accompanying this was a terrifying spiritual pressure descending from the sky. The sound of cracking and popping filled the air. Spiritual pressure is formless but seemed visible at that moment.
yàn jiān yǒu yī dào yī dào de bō wén dàng yàng ér chū ， yóu cǐ kě yǐ bǔ zhuō dào nà líng yā de guǐ jì ， zuì hòu yǔ yān shān lǎo zǔ de líng yā hù xiāng jī zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
宴间有一道一道的bō纹dàng漾而出，由此可以捕捉到那灵压的轨迹，最后与燕山老祖的灵压互相jī撞在一起。
Ripples spread across one after another as they could trace the trajectory of the spiritual pressure, which eventually collided with the spiritual pressure of Elder Yan Mountain's ancestor.
gāng fēng suí zhī ér qǐ ， tóng shí guǐ kū láng háo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì chéng mén shī huǒ yāng jí chí yú ， nà xiē xiū wèi jiào dī de gǔ mó bèi juǎn le jìn qù 。
罡风随之而起，同时鬼哭狼嚎的声音传入耳朵，却是城门失火殃及池鱼，那些修为较低的古魔被卷了进去。
A gale wind arose, while howls of ghosts and wolves echoed in their ears, as if a city gate had caught fire, affecting even those ancient demons with lower cultivation levels.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yòu yǒu shuí huì zài hū tā men zhè yàng de xiǎo xiā mǐ 。
然而此时此刻，又有谁会在乎他们这样的小虾米。
However, who cared about such small fry at this moment?
yān shān lǎo zǔ de mù guāng zài yín chì shī wáng de shēn shàng sǎo guò ， liǎn sè yuè fā de yīn chén le 。
燕山老祖的目光在银翅尸王的身上扫过，脸sè越发的yīn沉了。
Elder Yan Mountain's gaze swept across the Silver-Winged Corpse King. His face turned even more gloomy.
zhè zhǒng líng yā ， zhè zhǒng qiáng dù ， jū rán néng yǔ tā fēn tíng kàng lǐ 。
这种灵压，这种强度，居然能与他分庭抗礼。
This spiritual pressure and intensity could actually stand on equal footing with him.
“ zhè liàn shī shì fēn shén qī ！” tā yī zì yī dùn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ ， liǎn shàng suī rán miàn wú biǎo qíng ， rán ér xīn zhōng què yǒu xiē jīng jù 。
“这炼尸是分神期！”他一字一顿的声音传入耳里，脸上虽然面无表情，然而心中却有些惊惧。
"This炼尸 is a Core Formation stage!" an elder said, his voice calm but weak. "Let us not be angry over this minor auction meeting. It's not worth it to offend each other for such a trivial matter. I know I am unworthy, but can you two give my family some face and let's discuss things properly instead of fighting here?"
zì jǐ hái shì tài qīng fú ， tài dà yì le xiē ！
自己还是太轻浮，太大意了些！
A clear voice echoed in their ears as Fu Tianhang, the head of the Fu Family, stepped forward as an arbiter. To be honest, facing such ancient monsters, he was more than willing to avoid getting involved.
nán dào nà biàn yì dì xī lóng duì fāng zhēn shì píng zì jǐ shí lì liè shā dì ？
难道那变异地犀龙对方真是凭自己实力猎杀地？
However, at this moment, as the host, pretending to be a ostrich would not work. If the two began fighting here, the reputation that White Float City had accumulated over tens of thousands of years would suffer significant damage, if not completely destroyed.
yān shān lǎo zǔ suī rán bù dǒng de kòng shī zhī shù ， dàn qí zhōng de guī jǔ yǔ xiàn zhì ， duō shǎo hái shì xiǎo de yī xiē 。
燕山老祖虽然不懂得控尸之术，但其中的规矩与限制，多少还是晓得一些。
Emotionally and rationally, he did not want such an outcome. Besides, if this incident occurred, the ancestor would definitely hold him accountable.
cóng méi yǒu tīng shuō yǒu rén néng gòu yuè jí kòng zhì liàn shī 。
从没有听说有人能够越级控制炼尸。
Considering this, even with a reluctant heart, he could only step forward to advise them.
yǎn qián de shī mó jì rán shì fēn shén jí bié de ， nà zhǔ rén de jìng jiè kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
眼前的尸魔既然是分神级别的，那主人的境界可想而知。
Although his counterpart might treat him as air, as head of the Fu Family, he couldn't do nothing; he had to try his best and leave the rest to fate.
gāi sǐ ， yān shān lǎo zǔ xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le huǐ yì 。
该死，燕山老祖心中充满了悔意。
At that moment, his voice sounded so weak. However, an unexpected scene unfolded.
duì shàng yǎn qián nà yín sè de shī mó ， tā yě bù gǎn shuō yǒu jué duì de bǎ wò ， zài jiā shàng nà bù zhī gēn dǐ ， dàn kěn dìng shì fēn shén qī de xiǎo zi ……
对上眼前那银sè的尸魔，他也不敢说有绝对的把握，再加上那不知根底，但肯定是分神期的小子……
"Alright, although we are not very familiar with each other, there is a certain degree of acquaintance. If we fight here, it would seem like I am not giving him enough face."
yǐ guǎ dí zhòng ？
以寡敌众？
Unlike his first attempt at mediation, Elder Yan Mountain cooperated wholeheartedly this time. In truth, he was secretly relieved that Fu Tianhang had come as a timely rain.
tā kě méi yǒu nà me shén yǒng 。
他可没有那么神勇。
The appearance of the Silver-Winged Corpse King already made the ancient monster uneasy, and he had only been holding on because of pride. This chance encounter with Fu Tianhang's mediation gave him an excuse to back down gracefully.
zhēn shì tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ ， yuán běn xiǎng wǎn huí miàn zi ， méi xiǎng dào què jiāng zì jǐ zhì yú rú cǐ wēi xiǎn de jìng dì 。
真是偷鸡不成蚀把米，原本想挽回面子，没想到却将自己置于如此危险的境地。
Even though this show of respect and then defiance could be seen through by these ancient demons, it mattered little as long as he had a reason. Would he really fight to the death against such a cultivator who could command a Core Formation stage炼尸? After all, although there was conflict, no enmity existed between them, and he wasn't crazy.
xiàn zài yīng gāi rú hé ， nán dào mǎ shàng shì ruò ， kě nà yàng zuò ， wèi miǎn yě tài diū rén le 。
现在应该如何，难道马上示弱，可那样做，未免也太丢人了。
Elder Yan Mountain chose to back down. Lin Xuan was not foolish; naturally, he would not be aggressive either!
yān shān lǎo zǔ bù jǐn cán rěn shì shā ， yě shì jí hǎo miàn zi de rén wù ， dāng zhe zhè me duō hòu bèi gǔ mó ， rú cǐ dà shī yán miàn de shì qíng tā kě zuò bù chū 。
燕山老祖不仅残忍嗜杀，也是极好面子的人物，当着这么多后辈古魔，如此大失颜面的事情他可做不出。
He knew his situation well. Saying that he was just a tiger in disguise might not be entirely wrong because of the Silver-Winged Corpse King's effect and his own wealth and power, which made others mistake him for an ancient monster at the Core Formation stage. However, this was just hearsay; Lin Xuan would not let himself get carried away.
kě xiàn zài yòu gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
可现在又该怎么办呢？
The best choice was to cut his losses.
zhēn shì huǐ bù dāng chū 。
真是悔不当初。
Lin Xuan did not say much more. With a mental command, the Silver-Winged Corpse King controlled by his Second Consciousness flew back.
“ liǎng wèi qián bèi xī nù ， bù guò yī cháng xiǎo xiǎo de pāi mài huì ér yǐ ， hé bì wèi xī shāng le hé qì ， nà yàng zuò bù zhí ， zài xià zhī dào zì jǐ bù gòu gé ， dàn néng fǒu qǐng liǎng wèi gěi wǒ fù jiā yí gè miàn zi ， yǒu shén me shì qíng hǎo hǎo shuō ， hé bì zài zhè lǐ dòng shǒu ne ？”
“两位前辈息怒，不过一场小小的拍卖会而已，何必为牺伤了和气，那样做不值，在下知道自己不够格，但能否请两位给我付家一个面子，有什么事情好好说，何必在这里动手呢？”
The two chose to reconcile, and the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.
yī qīng lǎng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì nà fù tiān héng yìng zhe tóu pí ， zuò qǐ le hé shì lǎo ， píng xīn lái shuō ， miàn duì zhè zhǒng děng jí de lǎo guài wù ， tā men zhī jiān de xián shì ， tā shì yì bǎi gè bù yuàn yì guǎn de 。
一清朗的声音传入耳朵，却是那付天衡硬着头皮，做起了和事老，平心来说，面对这种等级的老怪物，他们之间的闲事，他是一百个不愿意管的。
Most of the ancient demons in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. Although they might have had the mindset of watching the conflict from afar, after the appearance of the Silver-Winged Corpse King, their hopes were extinguished.
wèn tí shì cǐ shí cǐ kè ， shēn wèi dì zhǔ ， zhēn yào zhuāng tuó niǎo ， nà gēn běn jiù bù xiàn shí 。
问题是此时此刻，身为地主，真要装鸵鸟，那根本就不现实。
In the immortal world, stronger beings are more respected. Lin Xuan's situation improved significantly as he walked out of the hall with a calm smile on his face. The looks ancient demons gave him were filled with awe; in the demon realm, strength was more respected.
liǎng rén ruò shì zài zhè lǐ dòng qǐ shǒu lái ， bái fú chéng shù shí wàn nián jī zǎn xià lái de shēng yù ， bù shuō huǐ yú yí dàn ， rán ér dà sǔn kěn dìng shì nán miǎn 。
两人若是在这里动起手来，白浮城数十万年积攒下来的声誉，不说毁于一旦，然而大损肯定是难免。
After walking for a while, a familiar figure suddenly came into view.
yú qíng yú lǐ ， tā dāng rán bù yuàn yì kàn dào zhè yàng de jié jú ， hé kuàng zhēn fā shēng zhè yàng de biàn gù ， lǎo zǔ shì kěn dìng huì ná tā wèn zuì de 。
于情于理，他当然不愿意看到这样的结局，何况真发生这样的变故，老祖是肯定会拿他问罪的。
It was a tall and elegant woman dressed in palace attire.
jī yú zhè zhǒng kǎo lǜ ， jiù suàn shì yìng zhe tóu pí ， tā yě zhǐ yǒu zhàn chū lái xiāng quàn 。
基于这种考虑，就算是硬着头皮，他也只有站出来相劝。
Not long ago, Lin Xuan had exchanged a large number of Core Formation stage talismans with her.
suī rán duì fāng shí yǒu ** huì jiāng zì jǐ dàng zuò kōng qì ， dàn zuò wèi fù jiā jiā zhǔ ， tā yě bù néng shén me dōu bù zuò ， zhǐ néng jìn rén shì ， ér tīng tiān mìng 。
虽然对方十有**会将自己当做空气，但做为付家家主，他也不能什么都不做，只能尽人事，而听天命。
"Fu Hongxue pays respects to the senior."
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā de shēng yīn tīng shàng qù shì nà yàng de bó ruò ， rán ér chū hū yù liào de yí mù chū xiàn le 。
此时此刻，他的声音听上去是那样的薄弱，然而出乎预料的一幕出现了。
She bowed gracefully, her expression humble and respectful, much more so than during their last meeting.
“ hǎo ba ， lǎo fū yǔ fù lǎo guài suī rán bú shì hěn shú ， rán ér yě yǒu nà me jǐ fēn jiāo qíng ， zhēn zài zhè lǐ dòng shǒu ， dào xiǎn de bù gěi tā miàn zi 。”
“好吧，老夫与付老怪虽然不是很熟，然而也有那么几分交情，真在这里动手，倒显得不给他面子。”
This was understandable. Through a transmission scroll, she learned what happened at the auction. Considering Lin Xuan as an ancient monster of the Core Formation stage, she naturally did not dare to be careless.
yǔ fù tiān héng dì yī cì kāi kǒu xiāng quàn shí de fǎn yìng jiǒng yì ， zhè yī cì ， yān shān lǎo guài xiǎn de shí fēn pèi hé ， qí shí tā xīn zhōng àn hū jiǎo xìng bù yǐ ， fù tiān héng duì tā lái shuō ， jiù xiàng jí shí yǔ 。
与付天衡第一次开口相劝时的反应迥异，这一次，燕山老怪显得十分配合，其实他心中暗呼侥幸不已，付天衡对他来说，就像及时雨。
Lin Xuan knew that she had misunderstood him but made no attempt to explain because this misunderstanding benefited him.
yín chì shī wáng de chū xiàn ， yǐ ràng lǎo guài wù xīn zhōng dǎ gǔ ， zhī suǒ yǐ huán zài zhè lǐ yìng chēng zhe ， zhǐ shì yīn wèi fàng bù xià miàn zi ， ér jī yuán qiǎo hé ， fù tiān héng zhè fān xiāng quàn ， jiù suàn gěi le tā yí gè tái jiē xià le 。
银翅尸王的出现，已让老怪物心中打鼓，之所以还在这里硬撑着，只是因为放不下面子，而机缘巧合，付天衡这番相劝，就算给了他一个台阶下了。
"Immortal Lady, how are you? How has my matter from last time progressed? Can you give me a definite answer?" Lin Xuan calmly asked.
suī rán zhè zhǒng qián jù hòu gōng de zuò fǎ ， yǎn qián zhè xiē gǔ mó yě néng kàn chū duān ní ， bù guò nà yòu rú hé ， zhǐ yào zì jǐ yǒu jiè kǒu jiù hǎo le ， nán dào hái zhēn yào yǔ zhè me yī wèi néng gòu qǔ shǐ fēn shén qī liàn shī de xiū shì yǐ sǐ xiāng pīn ， yào zhī dào ， shuāng fāng suī yǒu chōng tū ， dàn bìng méi yǒu chóu ， tā yòu méi yǒu nǎo dài xiù dòu ？
虽然这种前倨后恭的做法，眼前这些古魔也能看出端倪，不过那又如何，只要自己有借口就好了，难道还真要与这么一位能够取使分神期炼尸的修士以死相拼，要知道，双方虽有冲突，但并没有仇，他又没有脑袋秀逗？
"The senior said earlier that the stone clock milk of over five thousand years is insufficient for our family's use. If Senior wishes to purchase it, I cannot make a decision; I must seek permission from the ancestor," she replied respectfully.
yān shān lǎo zǔ xuǎn zé le tuì ràng ， lín xuān bù shǎ ， zì rán yě bú huì duō duō bī rén a ！
燕山老祖选择了退让，林轩不傻，自然也不会咄咄逼人啊！
"Indeed, how did it go?"
zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ xiǎo de ， qí shí cǐ shí cǐ kè ， jiāng zì jǐ shuō chéng shì hú jiǎ hǔ wēi yě méi yǒu cuò ， yīn wèi zì jǐ de cái dà qì cū yǔ yín chì shī wáng de xiào guǒ ， ràng bié rén wù huì zì jǐ shì fēn shén jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， rán ér zhè bù guò shì yǐ é chuán é ， lín xuān kě bù huì jiù cǐ tóu nǎo fā rè ， zhēn yǐ wéi zì jǐ zài fēn shén qī cún zài de miàn qián yě néng gòu yào wǔ yáng wēi le 。
自己的情况自己晓得，其实此时此刻，将自己说成是狐假虎威也没有错，因为自己的财大气粗与银翅尸王的效果，让别人误会自己是分神级别的老怪物，然而这不过是以讹传讹，林轩可不会就此头脑发热，真以为自己在分神期存在的面前也能够耀武扬威了。
Lin Xuan remained calm as he spoke.
jiàn hǎo jiù shōu shì zuì jiā xuǎn zé 。
见好就收是最佳选择。
"The ancestor is still in seclusion but will come out in three days. Please wait for me then to discuss with our family's ancestor," she said cautiously. After all, such an answer was not a satisfactory reply; would the other party be angry?
lín xuān yě bù duō shuō ， shén niàn yī dòng ， yóu dì èr yuán shén cāo kòng de yín chì shī wáng jiù fēi huí lái le 。
林轩也不多说，神念一动，由第二元神操控的银翅尸王就飞回来了。
However, Lin Xuan did not intend to make things difficult: "Just waiting for three days? No problem."
liǎng rén bù yuē ér tóng de xuǎn zé le yán hé ， qián yī kè hái jiàn bá nǔ zhāng de jú miàn dùn shí bīng xiāo wǎ jiě le 。
两人不约而同的选择了言和，前一刻还剑拔弩张的局面顿时冰消瓦解了。
"Thank you for your understanding and gratitude."
tīng zhōng de gǔ mó ， shí yǒu ** dōu sōng le yì kǒu qì ， suī rán tā men wèi shǐ méi yǒu zuò shān guān hǔ dòu de xīn lǐ ， rán ér zài yín chì shī wáng chū xiàn yǐ hòu ， dōu fēn fēn xī miè le zhè zhǒng xīn sī 。
厅中的古魔，十有**都松了一口气，虽然他们未始没有坐山观虎斗的心理，然而在银翅尸王出现以后，都纷纷熄灭了这种心思。
As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, Fu Hongxue bowed down. She truly felt grateful because an ancient monster of the Core Formation stage was essentially a great existence, many with eccentric personalities.
jì xiān dǎ jià ， fán rén zāo yāng ， ruò lín xuān zhǐ shì hěn qiáng de dòng xuán qī xiū shì ， zuò shān guān hǔ dòu dāng rán méi yǒu wèn tí ， kě zhè xiǎo zi guǒ rán yě shì fēn shén qī ， liǎng míng lǎo guài wù shì jūn lì dí ， zài zhè xiá zhǎi de dì fāng dǎ qǐ lái nà hái bù yāng jí chí yú ？
计仙打架，凡人遭殃，若林轩只是很强的洞玄期修士，坐山观虎斗当然没有问题，可这小子果然也是分神期，两名老怪物势均力敌，在这狭窄的地方打起来那还不殃及池鱼？
She had genuinely feared that Lin Xuan would be angry but found it so easy that she couldn't help feeling relieved and grateful.
gù ér jiàn dào liǎng rén yán hé ， nà xiē gǔ mó yě shì àn àn qìng xìng bù yǐ 。
故而见到两人言和，那些古魔也是暗暗庆幸不已。
"Thank you, Senior. I will take you to your new residence now."
hòu miàn de shì qíng bù yòng duō shuō ， zài yě méi yǒu fēn háo bō zhé ， lín xuān chéng gōng huàn dào le fú zhuàn ， yā zhòu pāi mài de sān zhāng líng fú ， quán bù luò rù tā de shǒu zhōng 。
后面的事情不用多说，再也没有分毫bō折，林轩成功换到了符篆，压轴拍卖的三张灵符，全部落入他的手中。
Although he didn't know Lin Xuan's cultivation level before, knowing him as a Core Formation stage guest, they could not allow him to stay in the humble inn anymore.
rú cǐ shōu huò ， kě shì lín xuān zuì chū méi yǒu xiǎng dào de 。
如此收获，可是林轩最初没有想到的。
Otherwise, slighting such an honored guest would be blamed by the ancestor even if Lin Xuan did not mind.
yǒu le zhè yàng de jiù mìng zhī wù ， jìn kě gōng ， tuì kě shǒu ， yào wáng gǔ zhī xíng ， yòu píng tiān le xǔ duō bǎ wò 。
有了这样的救命之物，进可攻，退可守，药王谷之行，又凭添了许多把握。
Lin Xuan nodded: "Lead the way."
lín xuān zuàn de shì pén mǎn bō mǎn ， mǎn yì dào jí chù 。
林轩赚得是盆满钵满，满意到极处。
One must act according to their cultivation level. Being too polite might raise suspicion, and these principles were clear to Lin Xuan.
ér yān shān lǎo zǔ suī rán miǎn qiǎng zhǎo dào yí gè tái jiē ， rán miàn hǔ tóu shé wěi de biǎo xiàn ， yě ràng tā méi liǎn liú zài cǐ chù ， pāi mài huì jié shù yǐ hòu ， lì kè jiù lí kāi bái fú shèng jǐng ， bù zhī suǒ zōng 。
而燕山老祖虽然勉强找到一个台阶，然面虎头蛇尾的表现，也让他没脸留在此处，拍卖会结束以后，立刻就离开白浮胜景，不知所踪。
"Yes!" She bowed gracefully and then moved forward with light steps.
lín xuān liǎn shàng dài zhe dàn rán de xiào róng ， cóng dà tīng zhōng chū lái le ， yī lù shàng ， suǒ yǒu de gǔ mó ， wàng xiàng tā de yǎn shén ， wú bù chōng mǎn le jìng wèi zhī sè， zài mó jiè ， qiáng zhě shì gèng jiā shòu zūn zhòng de 。
林轩脸上带着淡然的笑容，从大厅中出来了，一路上，所有的古魔，望向他的眼神，无不充满了敬畏之sè，在魔界，强者是更加受尊重的。
As they walked, she chatted idly with Lin Xuan, smiling all the while. If he had any questions that weren't secrets, she would try her best to answer them.
yòu zǒu piàn kè ， yǐ lái dào le yí gè jiào wéi pì jìng zhī suǒ ， yí gè shú xī de shēn yǐng tū rán yìng rù le yǎn lián zhōng 。
又走片刻，已来到了一个较为僻静之所，一个熟悉的身影突然映入了眼帘中。
They arrived at a deeper part of White Float Scenery, where the scenery became even more captivating. After nearly half an hour, a magnificent building came into view before their eyes.
shì yī shēn cái gāo tiǎo de gōng zhuāng měi fù。
是一身材高挑的宫装美fù。
The entire place was filled with exquisite pavilions and towers, undoubtedly the legendary guest house. However, few had the qualifications to enter here.
bù jiǔ qián ， lín xuān hái cóng tā nǎ ér ， jiāo huàn dào le dà liàng de dòng xuán qī fú zhuàn lái zhe 。
不久前，林轩还从她哪儿，交换到了大量的洞玄期符篆来着。
They arrived at the most beautiful pavilion in front.
“ fù hóng xuě cān jiàn qián bèi 。”
“付红雪参见前辈。”
Several beams of light shot out from within, revealing several demon women of different appearances but all extremely beautiful. Their cultivation levels were negligible; they were all at the Condensation Core stage.
cǐ nǚ yíng yíng yī fú ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng nà jiào yí gè dī méi shùn mù ， yǔ shàng cì xiāng jiàn shí míng xiǎn gōng jìng le xǔ duō 。
此女盈盈一拂，脸上的表情那叫一个低眉顺目，与上次相见时明显恭敬了许多。
"Pay respect to our ancestor," the girls said in shock as they knelt down quickly upon seeing Fu Hongxue.
zhè yě shì nán guài de 。
这也是难怪的。
"Senior, these are my disciples who manage this place."
Subsequently, Yin Wind made a grand display. A grayish-white corpse poison shot out from within, and with a flash of light, the form of a grotesque monster appeared.
A炼尸!
All present ancient demons were at least at the Core Formation stage or above, so their horizons were broad enough to recognize it instantly. However, unlike ordinary炼尸, this monster's entire body was tinged silver, and its size was much larger than that of common炼尸. Particularly eye-catching was a pair of silver wings on its back, resembling those of a bat, also in silver, dazzling and eye-catching.
Silver-Winged Corpse King!
The moment the炼尸 came out from the Spirit Ghost Bag, it immediately opened its eyes wide, emitting a strange roar "Huhu." Accompanying this was a terrifying spiritual pressure descending from the sky. The sound of cracking and popping filled the air. Spiritual pressure is formless but seemed visible at that moment.
Ripples spread across one after another as they could trace the trajectory of the spiritual pressure, which eventually collided with the spiritual pressure of Elder Yan Mountain's ancestor.
A gale wind arose, while howls of ghosts and wolves echoed in their ears, as if a city gate had caught fire, affecting even those ancient demons with lower cultivation levels.
However, who cared about such small fry at this moment?
Elder Yan Mountain's gaze swept across the Silver-Winged Corpse King. His face turned even more gloomy.
This spiritual pressure and intensity could actually stand on equal footing with him.
"This炼尸 is a Core Formation stage!" an elder said, his voice calm but weak. "Let us not be angry over this minor auction meeting. It's not worth it to offend each other for such a trivial matter. I know I am unworthy, but can you two give my family some face and let's discuss things properly instead of fighting here?"
A clear voice echoed in their ears as Fu Tianhang, the head of the Fu Family, stepped forward as an arbiter. To be honest, facing such ancient monsters, he was more than willing to avoid getting involved.
However, at this moment, as the host, pretending to be a ostrich would not work. If the two began fighting here, the reputation that White Float City had accumulated over tens of thousands of years would suffer significant damage, if not completely destroyed.
Emotionally and rationally, he did not want such an outcome. Besides, if this incident occurred, the ancestor would definitely hold him accountable.
Considering this, even with a reluctant heart, he could only step forward to advise them.
Although his counterpart might treat him as air, as head of the Fu Family, he couldn't do nothing; he had to try his best and leave the rest to fate.
At that moment, his voice sounded so weak. However, an unexpected scene unfolded.
"Alright, although we are not very familiar with each other, there is a certain degree of acquaintance. If we fight here, it would seem like I am not giving him enough face."
Unlike his first attempt at mediation, Elder Yan Mountain cooperated wholeheartedly this time. In truth, he was secretly relieved that Fu Tianhang had come as a timely rain.
The appearance of the Silver-Winged Corpse King already made the ancient monster uneasy, and he had only been holding on because of pride. This chance encounter with Fu Tianhang's mediation gave him an excuse to back down gracefully.
Even though this show of respect and then defiance could be seen through by these ancient demons, it mattered little as long as he had a reason. Would he really fight to the death against such a cultivator who could command a Core Formation stage炼尸? After all, although there was conflict, no enmity existed between them, and he wasn't crazy.
Elder Yan Mountain chose to back down. Lin Xuan was not foolish; naturally, he would not be aggressive either!
He knew his situation well. Saying that he was just a tiger in disguise might not be entirely wrong because of the Silver-Winged Corpse King's effect and his own wealth and power, which made others mistake him for an ancient monster at the Core Formation stage. However, this was just hearsay; Lin Xuan would not let himself get carried away.
The best choice was to cut his losses.
Lin Xuan did not say much more. With a mental command, the Silver-Winged Corpse King controlled by his Second Consciousness flew back.
The two chose to reconcile, and the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.
Most of the ancient demons in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. Although they might have had the mindset of watching the conflict from afar, after the appearance of the Silver-Winged Corpse King, their hopes were extinguished.
In the immortal world, stronger beings are more respected. Lin Xuan's situation improved significantly as he walked out of the hall with a calm smile on his face. The looks ancient demons gave him were filled with awe; in the demon realm, strength was more respected.
After walking for a while, a familiar figure suddenly came into view.
It was a tall and elegant woman dressed in palace attire.
Not long ago, Lin Xuan had exchanged a large number of Core Formation stage talismans with her.
"Fu Hongxue pays respects to the senior."
She bowed gracefully, her expression humble and respectful, much more so than during their last meeting.
This was understandable. Through a transmission scroll, she learned what happened at the auction. Considering Lin Xuan as an ancient monster of the Core Formation stage, she naturally did not dare to be careless.
Lin Xuan knew that she had misunderstood him but made no attempt to explain because this misunderstanding benefited him.
"Immortal Lady, how are you? How has my matter from last time progressed? Can you give me a definite answer?" Lin Xuan calmly asked.
"The senior said earlier that the stone clock milk of over five thousand years is insufficient for our family's use. If Senior wishes to purchase it, I cannot make a decision; I must seek permission from the ancestor," she replied respectfully.
"Indeed, how did it go?"
Lin Xuan remained calm as he spoke.
"The ancestor is still in seclusion but will come out in three days. Please wait for me then to discuss with our family's ancestor," she said cautiously. After all, such an answer was not a satisfactory reply; would the other party be angry?
However, Lin Xuan did not intend to make things difficult: "Just waiting for three days? No problem."
"Thank you for your understanding and gratitude."
As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, Fu Hongxue bowed down. She truly felt grateful because an ancient monster of the Core Formation stage was essentially a great existence, many with eccentric personalities.
She had genuinely feared that Lin Xuan would be angry but found it so easy that she couldn't help feeling relieved and grateful.
"Thank you, Senior. I will take you to your new residence now."
Although he didn't know Lin Xuan's cultivation level before, knowing him as a Core Formation stage guest, they could not allow him to stay in the humble inn anymore.
Otherwise, slighting such an honored guest would be blamed by the ancestor even if Lin Xuan did not mind.
Lin Xuan nodded: "Lead the way."
One must act according to their cultivation level. Being too polite might raise suspicion, and these principles were clear to Lin Xuan.
"Yes!" She bowed gracefully and then moved forward with light steps.
As they walked, she chatted idly with Lin Xuan, smiling all the while. If he had any questions that weren't secrets, she would try her best to answer them.
They arrived at a deeper part of White Float Scenery, where the scenery became even more captivating. After nearly half an hour, a magnificent building came into view before their eyes.
The entire place was filled with exquisite pavilions and towers, undoubtedly the legendary guest house. However, few had the qualifications to enter here.
They arrived at the most beautiful pavilion in front.
Several beams of light shot out from within, revealing several demon women of different appearances but all extremely beautiful. Their cultivation levels were negligible; they were all at the Condensation Core stage.
"Pay respect to our ancestor," the girls said in shock as they knelt down quickly upon seeing Fu Hongxue.
"Senior, these are my disciples who manage this place."
