第两千七百一十五章 百宝斋

jiàn duì fāng rú cǐ guāi qiǎo ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， biǎo qíng yě hǎo kàn le xǔ duō ：

见对方如此乖巧，林轩脸上露出满意之色，表情也好看了许多：

Seeing the other party so obedient, Lin Xuan's face showed a satisfied expression, making his demeanor much more pleasant:

“ nǐ yě wú xū jǐn zhāng shén me ， zhǐ xū yào zhào shí huí dá jiù kě yǐ le ， lín mǒu xiàng bú shì xiǎo qì de rén wù ， jué bú huì kuī dài nǐ de 。”

“你也无需紧张什么，只需要照实回答就可以了，林某向不是小气的人物，绝不会亏待你的。”

"You needn't be nervous. Just answer truthfully. I'm not someone who would be petty; you won't be treated unfairly."

“ shì ， shī shū 。”

“是，师叔。”

"Yes, Uncle Senior."

jiàn lín xuān chū yán ān fǔ ， cǐ nǚ wēi wēi dī chuí xià tou lú ， biǎo qíng yuè fā de gōng jìng dào jí chù 。

见林轩出言安抚，此女微微低垂下头颅，表情越发的恭敬到极处。

Upon seeing Lin Xuan's words of comfort, the woman lowered her head slightly, showing even greater respect.

jī yuán xū yào zì jǐ hǎo hǎo bǎ wò ， cǐ nǚ dàng zhēn shuō yì diǎn yě bù jǐn zhāng nà kěn dìng shì piàn rén de 。

机缘需要自己好好把握，此女当真说一点也不紧张那肯定是骗人的。

The opportunity needed to be seized properly. This woman was telling a lie if she claimed she wasn’t nervous at all.

bù guò qī dài de chéng fèn gèng duō ， méi kàn jiàn me ， páng biān tóng lái de liǎng rén ， cǐ kè jiù shì yī liǎn de xiàn mù 。

不过期待的成分更多，没看见么，旁边同来的两人，此刻就是一脸的羡慕。

However, there was more anticipation than fear. Didn't you see how the two people accompanying her looked envious?

lín xuān zhōng yú kāi kǒu le 。

林轩终于开口了。

Lin Xuan finally spoke up: "Where did you obtain this Image Pearl?"

“ cǐ yìng xiàng zhū ， nǐ shì zài hé chù dé lái de ？”

“此映象珠，你是在何处得来的？”

Inside the secret of the Image Pearl wasn’t widely known in the Spirit Realm. Its significance to him was immense—emotionally and logically, Lin Xuan couldn't ignore it. After all, it had something to do with that ancient war and Moon's identity. He would relentlessly pursue any clue.

lǐ miàn de yǐn mì xiāng xìn fàng yǎn líng jiè ， zhī dào de rén yě bù duō ， duì yú zì jǐ de yì yì ， nà gèng jiào yí gè fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， lín xuān dōu bù kě néng shì ruò wú dǔ ， bì jìng zhè yǔ nà shàng gǔ de dà zhàn ， yǔ yuè ér de shēn fèn dōu yǒu guān ， zhǐ yào yǒu yī sī xiàn suǒ ， zì jǐ jiù yào qì ér bù shě de zhuī chá xià qù de 。

里面的隐秘相信放眼灵界，知道的人也不多，对于自己的意义，那更叫一个非同小可，于情于理，林轩都不可能视若无睹，毕竟这与那上古的大战，与月儿的身份都有关，只要有一丝线索，自己就要弃而不舍的追查下去的。

Thus, when he asked this question, his outward calm remained unchanged, but deep down, he felt a bit tense.

gù ér dāng zhè ge wèn tí wèn chū ， lín xuān biǎo miàn shàng píng jìng rú gù ， rán ér nèi xīn shēn chù ， duō duō shǎo shǎo yě yǒu xiē jǐn zhāng le 。

故而当这个问题问出，林轩表面上平静如故，然而内心深处，多多少少也有些紧张了。

This wasn’t about lack of composure; concern could lead to confusion.

zhè bú shì chéng bù chéng fǔ de wèn tí ， guān xīn zé luàn jiù shì yǎn qián de dào lǐ 。

这不是城不城府的问题，关心则乱就是眼前的道理。

"Uncle Senior, I obtained the Image Pearl in the market district of Qingmu City."

“ qǐ bǐng shī shū ， zhè yìng xiàng zhū ， dì zǐ shì zài qīng mù chéng de fāng shì zhōng suǒ de 。”

“启禀师叔，这映象珠，弟子是在青木城的坊市中所得。”

"Qingmu City?"

“ qīng mù chéng ？”

“青木城？”

Lin Xuan was taken aback. It seemed like just a small city not too far away—only tens of thousands of miles distant.

lín xuān yí zhèng ， nà sì hū zhǐ shì lí cǐ shù shí wàn lǐ de yī zuò xiǎo chéng 。

林轩一怔，那似乎只是离此数十万里的一座小城。

Of course, it was purely for cultivators to gather, but its size and scale weren’t impressive. High-ranking cultivators rarely visited such places. How could an Image Pearl be found in such a place?

dāng rán ， yě shì chún cuì de xiū xiān zhě jù jí zhī suǒ ， dàn bù lùn miàn jī hái shì guī mó ， dōu bìng bù chū zhòng ， hěn shǎo yǒu gāo jiē xiū shì guāng lín cǐ chù ， yìng xiàng zhū zhè yàng de zhòng bǎo ， jìng shì chū zì zhè yàng yī bù qǐ yǎn de xiǎo dì fāng ？

当然，也是纯粹的修仙者聚集之所，但不论面积还是规模，都并不出众，很少有高阶修士光临此处，映象珠这样的重宝，竟是出自这样一不起眼的小地方？

"Indeed," Lin Xuan nodded, his expression still unreadable: "Did you find any other similar Image Pearls at this Hundred Treasure Shop?"

lín xuān lüè lüè yǒu xiē chà yì ， dàn yú qíng yú lǐ ， cǐ nǚ dōu bù kě néng huǎng yán xiāng qī ， zhè diǎn bǎ wò lín xuān hái shì yǒu de 。

林轩略略有些诧异，但于情于理，此女都不可能谎言相欺，这点把握林轩还是有的。

"I’m not sure about that. I only discovered the significance of this object after returning to my sect. My cultivation is low; I couldn’t even examine what was inside, so I didn't place much importance on it," the girl's honest voice echoed.

yú shì jǐn jiē zhe xún wèn le yī jù ：“ cǐ wù shì qīng mù chéng suǒ de ， nà nǐ yòu shì zài gāi chéng de hé chù ， zěn me dé dào de ？”

于是紧接着询问了一句：“此物是青木城所得，那你又是在该城的何处，怎么得到的？”

She had no great expectations when exchanging the Image Pearl with Lin Xuan, just a chance try.

“ huí shī shū ， dāng shí yě shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， dì zǐ zài chéng zhōng gòu mǎi le yī xiē suǒ xū de shì wù ， suí hòu xián lái wú shì ， zài fāng shì zhōng suí yì zǒu dòng ， hòu lái biàn jìn le yī jiā míng jiào bǎi bǎo zhāi de diàn pù 。”

“回师叔，当时也是机缘巧合，弟子在城中购买了一些所需的事物，随后闲来无事，在坊市中随意走动，后来便进了一家名叫百宝斋的店铺。”

To her surprise, Uncle Senior seemed very interested. This made her feel frustrated. If she knew back then, she would have searched that shop thoroughly and might have found more Image Pearls to secure this opportunity.

“ bǎi bǎo zhāi ， zhè ge míng zì dǎo shì bù cuò 。”

“百宝斋，这个名字倒是不错。”

Now, all she could hope for was satisfaction from Lin Xuan's answers, allowing her to ask three more questions.

lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè ：“ zěn me ， nà lǐ yǒu hěn duō bǎo wù ？”

林轩脸上露出若有所思之色：“怎么，那里有很多宝物？”

Her expression was filled with anticipation as she tried to be clear and detailed in her responses.

“ bù ， shī shū nín wù huì le ， bǎi bǎo zhāi míng zì gù rán rú yǎ ， qí shí zhǐ shì yī jiā dàng pù 。”

“不，师叔您误会了，百宝斋名字固然儒雅，其实只是一家当铺。”

Lin Xuan asked some more questions, and the girl answered truthfully without reservation.

“ dàng pù ？”

“当铺？”

After a long while, Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "Well done. Your answer is satisfactory. This Image Pearl has some use for me; I’ll keep it. In exchange, you can ask me three more questions."

lín xuān xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu yòu lù chū liǎo rán de shén sè lái 。

林轩先是一呆，随后又露出了然的神色来。

Saying this, Lin Xuan's face showed a moment of contemplation before he waved his sleeve and a beam of spiritual light shot out.

xiū xiān zhě kě yǐ bì gǔ ， yǐ shì sú de biāo zhǔn héng liáng ， gèng shì rén rén fù zú 。

修仙者可以辟谷，以世俗的标准衡量，更是人人富足。

The light faded to reveal a small jade bottle.

rán ér zhēn de rú cǐ me ？

然而真的如此么？

"This Image Pearl isn’t much, but compared to my three questions, it’s worth something. I never take advantage; so here are some spirit pills for you."

guī gēn jié dǐ ， nà zhǐ shì shì sú de biāo zhǔn bà le ， bù cuò ， tā men shì yī shí wú yōu ， jīn yín zhū bǎo duì tā men ér yán ， gèng shì yǒu rú fèn tǔ 。

归根结底，那只是世俗的标准罢了，不错，他们是衣食无忧，金银珠宝对他们而言，更是有如粪土。

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Senior," the girl said, her face filled with joy.

rán ér bìng bù yì wèi zhe ， xiū xiān zhě jiù rén rén fù zú 。

然而并不意味着，修仙者就人人富足。

This outcome was far better than she had imagined—she not only got three more questions but also received spirit pills as a bonus.

shì sú de jīn yín cái bǎo duì tā men méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， kě xiū xiān zhě zì yǒu xū yào de bǎo wù 。

世俗的金银财宝对他们没有用处，可修仙者自有需要的宝物。

What kind of treasure would Lin Xuan give away?

jīng shí 、 dān yào 、 duì yú xiū liàn yǒu zhe bù tóng yòng chǔ de tiān cái dì bǎo 。

晶石、丹药、对于修炼有着不同用处的天材地宝。

With excitement and trepidation, the girl carefully opened the jade bottle. A refreshing fragrance wafted out. She turned it over and poured out several light-red immortal pills.

hái yǒu líng qì ， fǎ bǎo * qǐ háng wén zì *， nǎ yī yàng dōu shì ràng xiū shì yǎn hóng 。

还有灵器，法宝*启航文字*，哪一样都是让修士眼红。

"What are these?"

rán ér xiāng duì yú xiū shì de shù liàng yǔ xū qiú ， xiū xiān jiè de zī yuán xiǎn de tài guò pín jí le ， jué dà duō shù bǎo wù ， dōu zhǎng wò zài gāo jiē xiū shì zhī shǒu 。

然而相对于修士的数量与需求，修仙界的资源显得太过贫瘠了，绝大多数宝物，都掌握在高阶修士之手。

The girl was taken aback; beside her, an old man in a long robe exclaimed: "Nine Curves Spirit Pill."

zhì yú nà xiē sàn xiū ， yǐ jí xiǎo mén xiǎo hù de xiū xiān zhě ， rì zi zé guò dé jǐn bā bā ， jǐn guǎn yī shí wú yōu ， rán ér xiū liàn zī yuán què shì yán zhòng bù zú 。

至于那些散修，以及小门小户的修仙者，日子则过得紧巴巴，尽管衣食无忧，然而修炼资源却是严重不足。

He had once wasted this very pill, so he recognized it instantly.

yú shì xiū xiān jiè yě jiù dàn shēng le rú shì sú gōng néng yì bān dí dàng pù 。

于是修仙界也就诞生了如世俗功能一般的当铺。

A mix of emotions—envy, jealousy, and disappointment flooded his mind.

dāng rán ， zhè lǐ bú shì yòng jīn yín cái bǎo zuò wéi jiāo yì de 。

当然，这里不是用金银财宝作为交易的。

"Indeed, they are Nine Curves Spirit Pills," Lin Xuan confirmed with a smile.

ér shì nǐ ná chū rèn hé yī yàng duì xiū liàn kě néng yǒu yòng de bǎo wù ， gū jià hòu dōu yǒu jī huì huàn qǔ yí dìng shù liàng jīng shí de 。

而是你拿出任何一样对修炼可能有用的宝物，估价后都有机会换取一定数量晶石的。

PS: I still have one more chapter tonight. Please vote for recommendation tickets; I really need them. Thank you.

bǎi bǎo zhāi jiù shì zhè me yī jiā dàng pù ， míng zì suī rán qǔ dé rú yǎ ， rán ér guī mó què bìng bù dà 。

百宝斋就是这么一家当铺，名字虽然取得儒雅，然而规模却并不大。

Given Lin Xuan's generous nature, what kind of treasure would he give away?

guāng gù de yě dà duō shì yī xiē qióng kùn liáo dǎo de xiū xiān zhě ， yǐ nà gé xìng nǚ zǐ dòng xuán qī de shēn fèn ， yuán běn shì bù xiè jìn rù ， piān piān nà tiān què tài wú liáo le ， huò zhě shuō ， mǒu gēn shén jīng dā cuò ， yīn cuò yáng chā ， cái mò míng qí miào de zǒu jìn qù le 。

光顾的也大多是一些穷困潦倒的修仙者，以那葛姓女子洞玄期的身份，原本是不屑进入，偏偏那天却太无聊了，或者说，某根神经搭错，阴错阳差，才莫名其妙的走进去了。

The girl, filled with joy and trepidation, carefully opened the jade bottle. A refreshing fragrance wafted out. She turned it over and poured out several light-red immortal pills.

suí yì tiāo kàn le nà me yī xiē shì wù ， hòu lái guǐ shǐ shén chāi de xiāng zhòng le zhè lì yìng xiàng zhū 。

随意挑看了那么一些事物，后来鬼使神差的相中了这粒映象珠。

"What are these?"

dāng shí ， tā yě méi yǒu fā xiàn cǐ wù yǒu rú hé de liǎo de 。

当时，她也没有发现此物有如何的了得。

Given Lin Xuan's generous nature, what kind of treasure would he give away?

kě yǐ shuō ， yī qiè dōu yī qiè ， dōu bù guò shì yī cì yì wài bà le 。

可以说，一切都一切，都不过是一次意外罢了。

The girl, filled with joy and trepidation, carefully opened the jade bottle. A refreshing fragrance wafted out. She turned it over and poured out several light-red immortal pills.

“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”

“原来如此。”

"What are these?"

lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng yī jiù kàn bù chū xǐ nù ：“ nà zhè bǎi bǎo zhāi zhōng ， nǐ shì fǒu hái fā xiàn le qí tā lèi sì de yìng xiàng zhū ？”

林轩点了点头，脸上依旧看不出喜怒：“那这百宝斋中，你是否还发现了其他类似的映象珠？”

Given Lin Xuan's generous nature, what kind of treasure would he give away?

“ zhè …… shī zhí jiù bù tài qīng chǔ ， wǒ yě shì huí zōng hòu ， cái ǒu rán fā xiàn le cǐ wù de bù fán zhī chù ， dàn shī zhí fǎ lì dī wēi ， lián lǐ miàn jiū jìng yǒu shén me shì wù ，* qīng yì ěr yǎ * dōu wú fǎ chá kàn ， gù ér yě méi yǒu tài jiāng zhè bǎo bèi ， fàng zài xīn jiān 。” shào nǚ lǎo shí de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā ná chū cǐ wù yǔ lín xuān jiāo huàn ， qí shí yě méi yǒu tài dà de bǎ wò ， jǐn jǐn shì gū qiě yī shì bà le 。

“这……师侄就不太清楚，我也是回宗后，才偶然发现了此物的不凡之处，但师侄法力低微，连里面究竟有什么事物，*清逸尔雅*都无法查看，故而也没有太将这宝贝，放在心间。”少女老实的声音传入耳朵，她拿出此物与林轩交换，其实也没有太大的把握，仅仅是姑且一试罢了。

The girl, filled with joy and trepidation, carefully opened the jade bottle. A refreshing fragrance wafted out. She turned it over and poured out several light-red immortal pills.

méi xiǎng dào wāi dǎ zhèng zháo ， lín shī shū jìng fēi cháng de gǎn xìng qù ， zhè ràng cǐ nǚ ào nǎo bù yǐ ， zǎo zhī rú cǐ ， zì jǐ dāng nián ， jiù yīng gāi xún biàn nà diàn pù ， rú guǒ hái néng gòu zài zhǎo dào yī liǎng kē yìng xiàng zhū ， yǎn qián zhè chǎng de jī yuán ， bù jiù wěn wěn dāng dāng dào shǒu le 。

没想到歪打正着，林师叔竟非常的感兴趣，这让此女懊恼不已，早知如此，自己当年，就应该寻遍那店铺，如果还能够再找到一两颗映象珠，眼前这场的机缘，不就稳稳当当到手了。

"What are these?"

rán hòu hòu huǐ méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， bǎ wò hǎo xiàn zài cái shì shí shí zài zài de ， zhǐ xī wàng zì jǐ de huí dá néng ràng lín xuān mǎn yì ， néng gòu shùn lì de zài wèi zì jǐ huàn qǔ jǐ gè wèn tí 。

然后后悔没有用处，把握好现在才是实实在在的，只希望自己的回答能让林轩满意，能够顺利的再为自己换取几个问题。

Given Lin Xuan's generous nature, what kind of treasure would he give away?

cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng qī dài yǐ jí ， yě shì jǐn kě néng de huí dá dé qīng chǔ ér xiáng xì 。

此女脸上的表情期待以极，也是尽可能的回答得清楚而详细。

The girl, filled with joy and trepidation, carefully opened the jade bottle. A refreshing fragrance wafted out. She turned it over and poured out several light-red immortal pills.

suí hòu lín xuān yòu wèn le yī xiē ， cǐ nǚ zhǐ yào xiǎo de ， yě dōu shì zhī wú bù yán yán wú bù jìn 。

随后林轩又问了一些，此女只要晓得，也都是知无不言言无不尽。

"What are these?"
