zhè jiù shì dà shù dǐ xià hǎo chéng liáng de dào lǐ 。
这就是大树底下好乘凉的道理。
This is the saying that it's cool under a big tree.
rú jīn lín xuān jīn fēi xī bǐ ， duǎn duǎn de liǎng qiān nián ， yún yǐn zōng yě huò dé le mò dà de fā zhǎn ， líng jiè jiù zī yuán lái shuō ， yòu yuǎn shèng guò rén jiè hé zhǐ bèi xǔ ， xún zhǎo wàn nián líng rǔ yǐ suàn bù shàng shén me nán tí ， ér zhǐ yào yòng lán sè xīng hǎi tí chún yī fān ， jiù kě yǐ ràng qí jià zhí zēng fú dào bù kě sī yì 。
如今林轩今非昔比，短短的两千年，云隐宗也获得了莫大的发展，灵界就资源来说，又远胜过人界何止倍许，寻找万年灵乳已算不上什么难题，而只要用蓝色星海提纯一番，就可以让其价值增幅到不可思议。
Now, Lin Xuan was far from his former self. In just two thousand years, the Cloud Concealing Sect had made significant progress. The resources in the Spirit Realm far surpassed those of the Human World by more than a multiple. Finding ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk wasn't even a problem anymore. After refining it with the Blue Star Sea, its value would skyrocket to unimaginable heights.
zhēn lóng líng xuè ， duì lín xuān lái shuō dà yǒu yòng tú ， ér wàn nián líng rǔ ， què bù guò shì xìn shǒu niān lái de dōng xī ， lín xuān cǐ jǔ ， zì rán shì zhàn le dà biàn yí 。
真龙灵血，对林轩来说大有用途，而万年灵乳，却不过是信手拈来的东西，林轩此举，自然是占了大便宜。
True Dragon Spirit Blood was useful for Lin Xuan, but ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk was just something he could easily obtain. Thus, his gain from this exchange was considerable.
dāng rán ， mí hóu zūn zhě yě bú shì bái chī ， tí chún hòu de wàn nián líng rǔ ， jiù xiào guǒ lái shuō ， què shí yǔ chuán shuō zhōng de tài xū líng rǔ xiāng chà fǎng fú ， cóng zhè ge jiǎo dù ， liǎng rén yě kě yǐ shuō shì gè yǒu suǒ de 。
当然，猕猴尊者也不是白痴，提纯后的万年灵乳，就效果来说，确实与传说中的太虚灵乳相差仿佛，从这个角度，两人也可以说是各有所得。
Of course, Elder Monkey wasn't a fool either. The refined ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk did indeed match the legendary Void Spirit Milk in terms of effectiveness. From that perspective, both parties had gained something.
bù guǎn zěn me shuō ， jiāo huàn jié shù 。
不管怎么说，交换结束。
Regardless, the exchange was over.
ér zhè ge jié guǒ ， yòu ràng xià miàn de lǎo guài wù yī zhèn zhā hū ， yòu shì zhè lín xiǎo zi huò dé le bǎo wù ， tā jīn cì jiū jìng yào chū duō shǎo fēng tou cái xīn mǎn yì zú ？
而这个结果，又让下面的老怪物一阵咋呼，又是这林小子获得了宝物，他今次究竟要出多少风头才心满意足？
And this result caused another old monster below to fuss. Was it really just this young man who received a treasure? How many more showboating moments would he need before he was satisfied?
yī xiē zhǔ yì zhēn lóng líng xuè de lǎo guài wù gèng shì chuí xiōng dùn zú ， tā men shǒu zhōng yuán běn yě yǒu chóu mǎ kě zuò jiāo huàn de ， zhǐ bù guò jiàn mí hóu zūn zhě xiǎng yào shī zi dà kāi kǒu ， suǒ yǐ cái zhǔn bèi nài xīn de qù áo yī áo ， dài duì fāng de ruì qì xiāo mó ， zài qù yā dī jià chū shǒu 。
一些属意真龙灵血的老怪物更是捶胸顿足，他们手中原本也有筹码可做交换的，只不过见猕猴尊者想要狮子大开口，所以才准备耐心的去熬一熬，带对方的锐气消磨，再去压低价出手。
Some old monsters who were interested in True Dragon Spirit Blood were even pounding their chests and stomping their feet. They originally had something they could exchange, but seeing Elder Monkey wanting to make a big demand, they decided to bide their time until the other party's sharpness wore off, then try to buy at a lower price.
zhè fān dǎ suàn yuán běn bù cuò ， nǎ zhī dào què shì wèi lín xuān zuò jià yī le ， yī shī zú chéng qiān gǔ hèn ， zǎo zhī dào jiù yīng gāi zǎo yī kè shàng qián qù de 。
这番打算原本不错，哪知道却是为林轩做嫁衣了，一失足成千古恨，早知道就应该早一刻上前去的。
Their plan seemed good, but it ended up serving Lin Xuan as a wedding dress. A single misstep could be regretted for all eternity. They should have rushed forward earlier.
rán ér xiàn zài ， shuō shén me dōu yǐ jīng wán le 。
然而现在，说什么都已经完了。
But now, no matter what they said, it was too late.
bù gān yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， xiū xiān jiè tóng yàng shì méi yǒu hòu huǐ yào mài de 。
不甘也没有用处，修仙界同样是没有后悔药卖的。
Unwillingness was useless; there were no regrets in the cultivation world either.
yǒu rén huān xǐ yǒu rén chóu ， jí biàn zhè xiǎo xiǎo de jiāo huàn huì ， yě fǎn yìng le shì jiān bǎi tài ， jiē xià lái yī shēn chuān gōng zhuāng de nǚ xiū zǒu shàng qù le 。
有人欢喜有人愁，即便这小小的交换会，也反应了世间百态，接下来一身穿宫装的女修走上去了。
Some rejoiced while others mourned. Even this small exchange reflected the myriad of human conditions. Next, a female cultivator dressed in court attire walked up.
lín xuān què shì rèn shí zhèng shì nà wèi ruò yán xiān zi 。
林轩却是认识正是那位若颜仙子。
Lin Xuan recognized her as Fairy Ruo Yan.
jiàn yòu shì yī fēn shén qī xiū shì shàng lái ， dù jié qī lǎo guài men yǒu xiē qí guài ， ruò shì yǐ wǎng ， tā men gēn běn jiù bú huì jiāng zhè zhǒng cún zài fàng yú yǎn lǐ ， rán ér jīn cì chū le lín xuān zhè me yí gè guài tāi ， nòng dé dà jiā de xīn qíng shì diē dàng qǐ fú ， dào yě bù gǎn jiāng zhè shén mì de nǚ xiū xiǎo kàn 。
见又是一分神期修士上来，渡劫期老怪们有些奇怪，若是以往，他们根本就不会将这种存在放于眼里，然而今次出了林轩这么一个怪胎，弄得大家的心情是跌宕起伏，倒也不敢将这神秘的女修小看。
Seeing another Spirit Formation Period cultivator come forward, the old monsters of the Tribulation Transcending period were somewhat puzzled. In the past, they wouldn't have paid much attention to such beings. But with Lin Xuan's anomaly, their moods had been fluctuating, so they dared not underestimate this mysterious female cultivator.
sú huà shuō ， méi yǒu sān liǎng sān ， nǎ gǎn shàng liáng shān zhè nǚ zǐ de xiū wèi shì dī le diǎn ， dàn jì rán néng yìng yāo chū xí nài lóng zhēn rén de shuāng xiū diǎn lǐ ， kǒng pà yě huì yǒu yī xiē guò rén zhī chù dì 。
俗话说，没有三两三，哪敢上梁山这女子的修为是低了点，但既然能应邀出席鼐龙真人的双修典礼，恐怕也会有一些过人之处地。
As the saying goes: "Without three taels, one dares not join the mountain." Ruo Yan’s cultivation was indeed low, but since she was invited to attend True Dragon Immortal’s dual-cultivation ceremony, there must be something extraordinary about her.
lín xuān zài bù zhī bù jué jiān ， yǐ ràng dù jié qī lǎo guài men duì fēn shén qī xiū shì de kàn fǎ ， huò duō huò shǎo ， yǒu le yī xiē gǎi biàn 。
林轩在不知不觉间，已让渡劫期老怪们对分神期修士的看法，或多或少，有了一些改变。
Unconsciously, Lin Xuan had already changed how the old monsters viewed Spirit Formation Period cultivators.
ér yún ruò yán shàng qù ， zì rán yě jiù xī yǐn dà le zài chǎng suǒ yǒu rén de guān zhù ， zuò wèi yī jiā zhī zhǔ ， yóu qí shì nài lóng jiè pái míng dì shí yī wèi de dà shì lì de jiā zú ， yún ruò yán shén me dà chǎng miàn méi yǒu jiàn guò rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě xiǎn de yǒu xiē jú cù ， zhè me duō dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， tā kě shì yī bèi zi méi yǒu jiàn guò 。
而云若颜上去，自然也就吸引大了在场所有人的关注，做为一家之主，尤其是鼐龙界排名第十一位的大势力的家族，云若颜什么大场面没有见过然而此时此刻，也显得有些局促，这么多渡劫期老怪物，她可是一辈子没有见过。
When Fairy Ruo Yan went up, she naturally attracted everyone's attention. As the head of a family, especially one ranked 11th in the Dragon Pill Realm, she had seen many grand events. But at this moment, she seemed somewhat uneasy. She had never encountered so many old monsters before.
tā kě méi yǒu lín xuān de shí lì ， zài zuò de ， dòng dòng shǒu zhǐ ， jiù néng ràng tā hún fēi pò sàn le ， yào shuō bù hài pà ， nà kěn dìng shì piàn rén de rán ér hài pà yòu rú hé ， yǎn qián de hǎo jī huì gèng bù néng cuò guò ， bì jìng dù jié jí bié de jiāo yì huì kě bú shì shuō cān jiā jiù néng gòu cān jiā de 。
她可没有林轩的实力，在座的，动动手指，就能让她魂飞魄散了，要说不害怕，那肯定是骗人的然而害怕又如何，眼前的好机会更不能错过，毕竟渡劫级别的交易会可不是说参加就能够参加的。
She didn't have Lin Xuan’s strength; with just a flick of their fingers, they could send her soul flying apart. Saying she wasn’t afraid was a lie. But fear couldn’t stop her from seizing the good opportunity in front of her. After all, not everyone could participate in such tribulation-transcending level exchanges.
cuò guò zhè ge cūn ， kě jiù méi yǒu zhè ge diàn le 。
错过这个村，可就没有这个店了。
Miss this opportunity, and there would be none to come.
bù jiù shì jiāo yì me ， pà shén me 。
不就是交易么，怕什么。
What’s the harm in just trading?
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， yún ruò yán shēn shēn hū xī ， qiǎng pò zì jǐ lěng jìng xià qù 。
脑海中念头转过，云若颜深深呼吸，强迫自己冷静下去。
With these thoughts in mind, Fairy Ruo Yan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
suí hòu tā yíng yíng yī fú ， xiān chōng zhe sì zhōu de lǎo guài wù shī le yī lǐ ， cái yù shǒu yī fān ， yī shù cùn zhǎng de huǒ hóng sè xiān jiàn yóu qí xiù kǒu zhōng fēi le chū lái 。
随后她盈盈一拂，先冲着四周的老怪物施了一礼，才玉手一番，一数寸长的火红色仙剑尤其袖口中飞了出来。
She then gracefully waved her hands, first giving a bow to the old monsters around. Then, she revealed a fiery red immortal sword from her sleeve.
hū shǎn hū shǎn ， bù tíng biàn huàn ， dùn shí yī gǔ líng yā hōng rán mí sàn kāi 。
忽闪忽闪，不停变换，顿时一股灵压轰然弥散开。
It flickered and changed continuously, instantly filling the air with spiritual pressure.
“ zhè huǒ yún jiàn xiǎng bì yǒu xiē qián bèi yǐ jué de yǎn shú ， bù cuò ， zhè zhèng shì wǒ yún jiā lǎo zǔ xī rì suǒ shǐ yòng de yī jiàn bǎo wù ， lǎo zǔ zài zuò huà qián yǐ jiāng shén shí yìn jì mǒ chú ， suǒ yǐ gè wèi qián bèi ruò shì mǎi qù zhǐ xū yào shāo jiā jì liàn yī fān jiù néng gòu shǐ yòng le 。”
“这火云剑想必有些前辈已觉得眼熟，不错，这正是我云家老祖昔日所使用的一件宝物，老祖在坐化前已将神识印记抹除，所以各位前辈若是买去只需要稍加祭炼一番就能够使用了。”
"This Fire Cloud Sword is likely familiar to some of you. Indeed, this was an artifact used by my ancestor in the past. Before his final transformation, he erased his divine consciousness imprint, so if any of you wish to purchase it, a little ritual sacrifice will suffice."
“ qiè shēn zhǐ shì fēn shén ， xiàn yú xiū wèi fǎ lì de yuán gù ， zhè huǒ yún jiàn de wēi lì ， yě fā huī bù chū tài duō ， dàn zhū wèi qián bèi dōu shì lǎo jiāng hú ， zì rán shí huò ， cǐ bǎo wù shì hǎo shì dǎi shì piàn bù guò dà jiā de ， qiè shēn yě méi yǒu nà me dà dǎn zi ， gǎn wèi yún jiā rě lái dà huò ， hǎo ， jiè shào jiù zhè me duō ， wǎn bèi dǎ suàn yòng cǐ jiàn ， huàn qǔ duì chōng jī dù jié qī píng jǐng shāo yǒu bāng zhù de yào wù 。” yún ruò yán píng jìng yì cháng de shuō 。
“妾身只是分神，限于修为法力的缘故，这火云剑的威力，也发挥不出太多，但诸位前辈都是老江湖，自然识货，此宝物是好是歹是骗不过大家的，妾身也没有那么大胆子，敢为云家惹来大祸，好，介绍就这么多，晚辈打算用此剑，换取对冲击渡劫期瓶颈稍有帮助的药物。”云若颜平静异常的说。
"I am only at the Spirit Formation stage due to limitations in cultivation and mana. The Fire Cloud Sword’s power can’t be fully unleashed. However, as veterans, you should know its worth. I wouldn't dare risk causing trouble for my family with such an artifact. That said, I’ll use this sword to exchange for medicinal materials that might help me break through the tribulation barrier."
lín xuān dòu zhì dòu yǒng ， cóng bǎo shé shèng zǔ shǒu lǐ yìng shì yíng qù le yī lì jiǔ zhuǎn líng shé dān ， yún ruò yán kàn dé shì jí wéi yǎn rè 。
林轩斗智斗勇，从宝蛇圣祖手里硬是迎去了一粒九转灵蛇丹，云若颜看得是极为眼热。
Fairy Ruo Yan spoke calmly.
rán ér xiàn mù yòu rú hé ， tā jì méi yǒu lín xuān de shí lì ， yě méi yǒu lín xuān de dǎn liàng ， gǎn qù zhāo rě bǎo shé shèng zǔ ， yú shì ， biàn zhǐ yǒu dǎ bié de zhǔ yì le 。
然而羡慕又如何，她既没有林轩的实力，也没有林轩的胆量，敢去招惹宝蛇圣祖，于是，便只有打别的主意了。
Lin Xuan had fought hard and managed to snatch a Nine Turns Spirit Serpent Pill from Holy Snake Immortal. Fairy Ruo Yan was envious of his efforts.
hǎo zài jī huì hěn kuài jiù yǒu ， jiē xià lái de jiāo huàn huì ， jiù wèi tā tí gōng le yí gè hé shì de chǎng suǒ 。
好在机会很快就有，接下来的交换会，就为她提供了一个合适的场所。
But envy meant nothing; she neither had Lin Xuan’s strength nor hiscourage (courage) to provoke the Holy Snake Immortal. Thus, she could only look for other options.
yún ruò yán shì fēn shén qī xiū shì méi cuò ， dàn yún jiā kě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， xī rì de lǎo zǔ yě shì dù jié qī de ， zài zuò huà qián zì rán gèng shì liú xià le bù shǎo bǎo wù 。
云若颜是分神期修士没错，但云家可是非同小可，昔日的老祖也是渡劫期的，在坐化前自然更是留下了不少宝物。
Fortunately, an opportunity soon presented itself during this exchange meeting.
bǐ rú shuō zhè huǒ yún jiàn ， míng zì suī rán yǒu diǎn sú ， dàn wēi lì què shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， nǎi lǎo zǔ de běn mìng fǎ bǎo 。
比如说这火云剑，名字虽然有点俗，但威力却是非同小可，乃老祖的本命法宝。
Fairy Ruo Yan was indeed at the Spirit Formation stage, but her family wasn’t ordinary. Her ancestor had been a Tribulation Transcending cultivator who left behind many treasures before his final transformation.
shén shí yìn jì mǒ chú hòu tā yě néng yòng ， dàn xiàn yú jìng jiè shí lì ， fā huī chū de wēi lì zhe shí bù duō ， shuō bào zhēn tiān wù yǒu diǎn 、 tài guò ， dàn kěn dìng shì dà cái xiǎo yòng le 。
神识印记抹除后她也能用，但限于境界实力，发挥出的威力着实不多，说暴珍天物有点、太过，但肯定是大材小用了。
For instance, the Fire Cloud Sword, despite its mundane name, possessed formidable power as an innate treasure of the old master. After erasing the divine consciousness imprint, she could use it, but due to her limitations in cultivation and mana, she couldn’t fully unleash its power.
yú shì cǐ nǚ yī yǎo yá ， gān cuì jiāng qí ná chū lái huàn qǔ néng gòu duì tū pò dù jié qī píng jǐng yǒu yòng de bǎo wù 。
于是此女一咬牙，干脆将其拿出来换取能够对突破渡劫期瓶颈有用的宝物。
Thus, with a firm bite, she decided to put it up for exchange to obtain something that might help her break through the tribulation barrier.
xiàng jiǔ zhuǎn líng shé dān nà yàng de nì tiān bǎo bèi tā bù gǎn shē qiú ， dàn zhè me duō dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， zǒng néng ná chū yī liǎng zhǒng de 。
像九转灵蛇丹那样的逆天宝贝她不敢奢求，但这么多渡劫期老怪物，总能拿出一两种的。
She didn’t dare hope for a Nine Turns Spirit Serpent Pill like Lin Xuan did, but among so many old monsters, there were bound to be some useful items.
zhè fān kǎo liáng méi yǒu cuò ， hěn kuài jiù yǒu rén shàng qù le 。
这番考量没有错，很快就有人上去了。
Soon enough, someone stepped forward.
xià miàn hái yǒu yì lùn shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
下面还有议论声传入耳朵。
Below, more discussions could be heard.
“ yuán lái shì yún jiā nà yā tou 。”
“原来是云家那丫头。”
"Originally, it was that girl from the Cloud Family."
“ yún lǎo guài shí lì bù sú ， kě xī yǐ jīng zuò huà diào le ， zhè huǒ yún jiàn ， wǒ kàn zhe yě yǒu diǎn yǎn chán ， kě xī méi yǒu tā yào de bǎo wù 。”
“云老怪实力不俗，可惜已经坐化掉了，这火云剑，我看着也有点眼馋，可惜没有她要的宝物。”
"The Old Monster of the Cloud Family isn’t bad, but he’s already transformed. I also have a bit of a craving for this Fire Cloud Sword, but I don’t have what she has to offer."
zhè ge rén méi yǒu ， qí tā rén què yǒu ， qián hòu yǒu shù rén shàng qù jiāo huàn ， zuì hòu yún ruò yán tiāo zhòng le yī lì dān yào ， xīn mǎn yì ** huàn huì jiù zhè yàng yǒu tiáo bù wěn de jìn xíng zhe ， zhè yàng de jī huì jī hū méi yǒu rén yuàn yì cuò guò ， hè kè men yí gè gè shàng qù ， ná chū zì jǐ bù yòng de cái liào fǎ bǎo huàn qǔ suǒ xū ， zuì hòu lián nài lóng zhēn rén ， qiān qiān xiān zi ， guǎng hán zi ， jiǔ wěi tiān hú dōu shàng qù 。
这个人没有，其他人却有，前后有数人上去交换，最后云若颜挑中了一粒丹药，心满意**换会就这样有条不紊的进行着，这样的机会几乎没有人愿意错过，贺客们一个个上去，拿出自己不用的材料法宝换取所需，最后连鼐龙真人，芊芊仙子，广寒子，九尾天狐都上去。
Someone didn’t, but others did. Several people went up and exchanged items. Finally, Fairy Ruo Yan picked out a medicinal pill that satisfied her.
bù guò chū hū yì liào ， tā men yě méi yǒu ná chū jīng shì hài sú de dōng xī ， dāng rán ， hái shì fēi cháng bù cuò de bǎo wù ， wán chéng jiāo huàn de 。
不过出乎意料，他们也没有拿出惊世骇俗的东西，当然，还是非常不错的宝物，完成交换的。
The exchange meeting proceeded smoothly, with no one willing to miss such an opportunity. Guests came forward, exchanging useless materials for what they needed. Even True Dragon Immortal, Fairy Qianqian, Broad Cold Subsidiary, and Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox all participated.
zhěng gè jiāo yì huì jìn xíng dé yì cháng shùn lì ， dāng rán yě bù fá méi yǒu jiāo huàn chéng gōng ， liú pāi le yī xiē dōng xī ， zhè shì zài suǒ nán miǎn dì ， liú pāi de bǎo wù dào bú shì jià zhí dī ， duō bàn shì tài shēng pì 。
整个交易会进行得异常顺利，当然也不乏没有交换成功，流拍了一些东西，这是在所难免地，流拍的宝物倒不是价值低，多半是太生僻。
However, unexpectedly, none of them presented anything shocking. Still, the items were quite valuable and successfully exchanged.
bù guǎn rú hé ， jiāo yì huì zài jìn xíng dà bàn tiān hòu yuán mǎn jié shù 。
不管如何，交易会在进行大半天后圆满结束。
The entire exchange meeting went smoothly, with only a few items failing to find buyers due to their obscurity in value.
ruò shì shì sú jǔ xíng hūn lǐ ， wǎn shàng ， duō bàn hái yǒu nào dòng fáng yī shuō ， dàn zài xiū xiān jiè me ， zì rán shì néng miǎn zé miǎn le 。
若是世俗举行婚礼，晚上，多半还有闹洞房一说，但在修仙界么，自然是能免则免了。
Regardless, the exchange meeting ended after half a day.
zhè cì hūn lǐ ， biàn shì nà xiē dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， yě dǎ kāi yǎn jiè ， yǒu cǐ xíng bù xū de gǎn jué ， dài jiāo yì huì jié shù ， dà jiā jiù fēn fēn xiàng nài lóng zhēn rén gào cí le 。
这次婚礼，便是那些渡劫期老怪物，也打开眼界，有此行不虚的感觉，带交易会结束，大家就纷纷像鼐龙真人告辞了。
If it were a secular wedding, there would likely be a post-wedding celebration. But in the cultivation world, such events were best avoided if possible.
nài lóng zhēn rén xīn qǔ le jiāo qī ， xīn qíng zì rán shì bù cuò dì ， qīn zì sòng kè ， yǔ dà jiā xī bié 。
鼐龙真人新娶了娇妻，心情自然是不错地，亲自送客，与大家惜别。
This wedding opened the eyes of even those old monsters, giving them a sense that they hadn’t come for nothing. As the exchange meeting concluded, everyone bid farewell to True Dragon Immortal.
“ nài lóng dà gē ， xiǎo dì yě gào cí le 。”
“鼐龙大哥，小弟也告辞了。”
True Dragon Immortal had just married a beautiful wife and was in high spirits. He personally saw off his guests with heartfelt farewells.
lín xuān jǐ le shàng qù ， bǎo shé bīng pò lái shí ， nài lóng zhēn rén duì zì jǐ de wéi hù ， lín xuān shì kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， xīn zhōng gǎn jī ， yán yǔ chēng hū ， yě jiù tòu zhe qīn rè zhī yì 。
林轩挤了上去，宝蛇冰魄来时，鼐龙真人对自己的维护，林轩是看得清清楚楚，心中感激，言语称呼，也就透着亲热之意。
"Big Brother True Dragon, I’ll also be taking my leave."
Lin Xuan squeezed forward. He clearly saw the protection True Dragon Immortal offered when Holy Snake Ice Soul came. Grateful for this, he spoke warmly.
This is the saying that it's cool under a big tree.
Now, Lin Xuan was far from his former self. In just two thousand years, the Cloud Concealing Sect had made significant progress. The resources in the Spirit Realm far surpassed those of the Human World by more than a multiple. Finding ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk wasn't even a problem anymore. After refining it with the Blue Star Sea, its value would skyrocket to unimaginable heights.
True Dragon Spirit Blood was useful for Lin Xuan, but ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk was just something he could easily obtain. Thus, his gain from this exchange was considerable.
Of course, Elder Monkey wasn't a fool either. The refined ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk did indeed match the legendary Void Spirit Milk in terms of effectiveness. From that perspective, both parties had gained something.
Regardless, the exchange was over.
And this result caused another old monster below to fuss. Was it really just this young man who received a treasure? How many more showboating moments would he need before he was satisfied?
Some old monsters who were interested in True Dragon Spirit Blood were even pounding their chests and stomping their feet. They originally had something they could exchange, but seeing Elder Monkey wanting to make a big demand, they decided to bide their time until the other party's sharpness wore off, then try to buy at a lower price.
Their plan seemed good, but it ended up serving Lin Xuan as a wedding dress. A single misstep could be regretted for all eternity. They should have rushed forward earlier.
But now, no matter what they said, it was too late.
Unwillingness was useless; there were no regrets in the cultivation world either.
Some rejoiced while others mourned. Even this small exchange reflected the myriad of human conditions. Next, a female cultivator dressed in court attire walked up.
Lin Xuan recognized her as Fairy Ruo Yan.
Seeing another Spirit Formation Period cultivator come forward, the old monsters of the Tribulation Transcending period were somewhat puzzled. In the past, they wouldn't have paid much attention to such beings. But with Lin Xuan's anomaly, their moods had been fluctuating, so they dared not underestimate this mysterious female cultivator.

But fear couldn’t stop her from seizing the good opportunity in front of her. After all, not everyone could participate in such tribulation-transcending level exchanges.
Miss this opportunity, and there would be none to come.
What’s the harm in just trading?
With these thoughts in mind, Fairy Ruo Yan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
She then gracefully waved her hands, first giving a bow to the old monsters around. Then, she revealed a fiery red immortal sword from her sleeve.

Fairy Ruo Yan was indeed at the Spirit Formation stage, but her family wasn’t ordinary. Her ancestor had been a Tribulation Transcending cultivator who left behind many treasures before his final transformation.
For instance, the Fire Cloud Sword, despite its mundane name, possessed formidable power as an innate treasure of the old master. After erasing the divine consciousness imprint, she could use it, but due to her limitations in cultivation and mana, she couldn’t fully unleash its power.
Thus, with a firm bite, she decided to put it up for exchange to obtain something that might help her break through the tribulation barrier.
She didn’t dare hope for a Nine Turns Spirit Serpent Pill like Lin Xuan did, but among so many old monsters, there were bound to be some useful items.
Soon enough, someone stepped forward.
Below, more discussions could be heard.
"Originally, it was that girl from the Cloud Family."
"The Old Monster of the Cloud Family isn’t bad, but he’s already transformed. I also have a bit of a craving for this Fire Cloud Sword, but I don’t have what she has to offer."
Someone didn’t, but others did. Several people went up and exchanged items. Finally, Fairy Ruo Yan picked out a medicinal pill that satisfied her.
The exchange meeting proceeded smoothly, with no one willing to miss such an opportunity. Guests came forward, exchanging useless materials for what they needed. Even True Dragon Immortal, Fairy Qianqian, Broad Cold Subsidiary, and Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox all participated.
However, unexpectedly, none of them presented anything shocking. Still, the items were quite valuable and successfully exchanged.
The entire exchange meeting went smoothly, with only a few items failing to find buyers due to their obscurity in value.
Regardless, the exchange meeting ended after half a day.
If it were a secular wedding, there would likely be a post-wedding celebration. But in the cultivation world, such events were best avoided if possible.
This wedding opened the eyes of even those old monsters, giving them a sense that they hadn’t come for nothing. As the exchange meeting concluded, everyone bid farewell to True Dragon Immortal.
True Dragon Immortal had just married a beautiful wife and was in high spirits. He personally saw off his guests with heartfelt farewells.
"Big Brother True Dragon, I’ll also be taking my leave."
Lin Xuan squeezed forward. He clearly saw the protection True Dragon Immortal offered when Holy Snake Ice Soul came. Grateful for this, he spoke warmly.
