yòu yī wèi shì nǚ pěng lái tuō pán 。 liè hǎi péng jiāng hóng bù xiān kāi 。
又一位侍女捧来托盘。列海鹏将红布掀开。
Another maidservant brought a tray. Li Hai Peng lifted the red cloth.
“ zhè yī cì pāi mài de dōng xī shì èr jí hùn yuán shòu de luǎn 。”
“这一次拍卖的东西是二级混圆兽的卵。”
"Today's auction item is an egg of the Second-grade Mixed Circle Beast."
xià miàn de xiū shì zài yí cì sāo dòng qǐ lái 。 lì wú bǐ 。 yě bù zhī shì fǒu pèng qiǎo de yùn qì 。 zhè yī cì suǒ chū xiàn de pāi mài pǐn dōu zhēn guì yǐ jí 。
下面的修士再一次骚动起来。利无比。也不知是否碰巧的运气。这一次所出现的拍卖品都珍贵以极。
The assembly of cultivators stirred once again. Unbelievably, it seemed that this time's offerings were exceptionally precious. Rare beast eggs, pills for base foundation cultivators to enhance their cultivation, and even a piece of ancient treasure had appeared.
shén me píng shí nán de yī jiàn de shòu luǎn 。 zhù jī xiū shì zēng zhǎng xiū wèi de dān yào 。 shèn zhì hái chū xiàn le yī jiàn gǔ bǎo 。
什么平时难的一见的兽卵。筑基修士增长修为的丹药。甚至还出现了一件古宝。
Lin Xuan was also somewhat taken aback. Of course, he wasn't salivating over the treasures themselves; his last trip to Qingye Mountain had yielded far more than expected, so ordinary treasures no longer held any appeal for him.
lín xuān yě yǒu diǎn zé shé 。 dāng rán 。 bìng bú shì chuí xián yú bǎo wù běn shēn 。 shàng cì qīng yè shān zhī xíng 。 tā de shōu huò kě shì yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò le yù qī 。 yì bān de bǎo wù zì rán shì zǎo jiù bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。
林轩也有点咋舌。当然。并不是垂涎于宝物本身。上次青叶山之行。他的收获可是远远超过了预期。一般的宝物自然是早就不放在眼里。
But one couldn’t judge others by his own standards. Ordinary condensation core cultivators rarely got a chance to touch ancient treasures like this.
dàn bù néng yǐ lín xuān de biāo zhǔn qù héng liáng bié rén 。 yì bān de níng dān qī xiū shì 。 nǎ yǒu jī huì jiē chù gǔ bǎo zhè zhǒng dōng xī 。
但不能以林轩的标准去衡量别人。一般的凝丹期修士。哪有机会接触古宝这种东西。
The bidding was fierce once again, and the final price soared to twenty thousand crystal stones. The short, plump cultivator beside Lin Xuan emerged as the winner.
zhè cì de zhēng qiǎng zì shì huǒ bào yì cháng 。 zuì hòu shèn zhì pāi chū le liǎng wàn jīng shí de tiān jià 。 lín xuān shēn páng 。 nà wèi shēn cái ǎi pàng de xiū shì chéng wéi le zuì zhōng de yíng jiā 。
这次的争抢自是火爆异常。最后甚至拍出了两万晶石的天价。林轩身旁。那位身材矮胖的修士成为了最终的赢家。
More precious items appeared in subsequent auctions, but Lin Xuan had no intention of participating. He didn’t need more treasures; what he needed were things that could help Moon's injuries.
jiē xià lái 。 yòu chū xiàn le jǐ jiàn zhēn guì yǐ jí de dōng xī 。 bù guò lín xuān bìng méi yǒu chū shǒu de yì si 。 bǎo wù tā xiàn zài bìng bù quē shǎo 。 xū yào de shì kàn yǒu méi yǒu dōng xī duì yuè ér de shāng shì yǒu bāng zhù 。
接下来。又出现了几件珍贵以极的东西。不过林轩并没有出手的意思。宝物他现在并不缺少。需要的是看有没有东西对月儿的伤势有帮助。
"Next up is Yin Spirit Pill," Li Hai Peng said, lifting the red cloth from the tray. A small jade bottle appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“ xià yī yàng pāi mài pǐn shì yīn líng dān 。” liè hǎi péng yī biān shuō yī biān xiān kāi le tuō pán shàng de hóng bù 。 yī xiǎo qiǎo de yù píng chū xiàn zài le zhòng rén de shì xiàn zhōng 。
“下一样拍卖品是阴灵丹。”列海鹏一边说一边掀开了托盘上的红布。一小巧的玉瓶出现在了众人的视线中。
Yin Spirit Pill?
yīn líng dān ？
阴灵丹？
Almost all the cultivators present showed puzzled expressions. They had never heard of such a pill; it was unheard of.
zhè yī cì 。 jī hū zài chǎng de suǒ yǒu xiū shì dōu lù chū le máng rán de biǎo qíng 。 zhè zhǒng dān yào de míng zì wén suǒ wèi wén 。 cóng lái jiù méi yǒu tīng shuō guò 。
这一次。几乎在场的所有修士都露出了茫然的表情。这种丹药的名字闻所未闻。从来就没有听说过。
"The Yin Spirit Pill is made from several extremely cold substances found in the heavens. It has miraculous effects on injuries sustained byghostly spiritghosts and spirits. If you have any ghost servants, this item should not be missed," Li Hai Peng explained.
“ yīn líng dān nǎi shì yóu tiān de jiān jǐ zhǒng zhì hán zhī wù liàn zhì ér chéng 。 duì yú yīn hún guǐ wù de shāng shì yǒu qí xiào 。 zhū wèi ruò shì yǒu guǐ pū 。 cǐ wù wàn bù kě cuò guò 。” liè hǎi péng jiè shào zhe shuō 。
“阴灵丹乃是由天的间几种至寒之物炼制而成。对于阴魂鬼物的伤势有奇效。诸位若是有鬼仆。此物万不可错过。”列海鹏介绍着说。
However, unlike the earlier frenzied bidding, most cultivators remained silent now. Occasional whispers could be heard.
rán ér yǔ gāng cái qún xiāng jìng jià de huǒ bào chǎng miàn bù tóng 。 zhè yī cì dà bù fèn xiū shì dōu xuǎn zé le chén mò 。 bù shí hái yǒu qiè qiè sī yǔ de yì lùn shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
然而与刚才群相竞价的火爆场面不同。这一次大部分修士都选择了沉默。不时还有窃窃私语的议论声传入耳朵。
"Come on. The Yin Spirit Pill is rare, but we don’t even have any ghost servants. What use would buying it serve?"
“ qiè 。 yīn líng dān suī rán xī yǒu 。 dàn wǒ men gēn běn jiù méi yǒu guǐ pū 。 mǎi lái cǐ wù yòu yǒu hé yòng 。”
“切。阴灵丹虽然稀有。但我们根本就没有鬼仆。买来此物又有何用。”
"Yeah, and it's priced at five thousand crystal stones, with only ten pills inside. Even if these are for base foundation cultivators to enhance their cultivation, they shouldn't be this expensive. Are we being treated like fools?"
“ jiù shì 。 ér qiě biāo jià wǔ qiān jīng shí 。 lǐ miàn yě jiù cái shí lì ér yǐ 。 jiù suàn shì níng dān qī xiū shì zēng jìn xiū wèi de dān yào 。 yě méi tīng shuō kě yǐ guì dào zhè zhǒng chéng dù 。 dāng wǒ men shì yuān dà tóu me ？”
“就是。而且标价五千晶石。里面也就才十粒而已。就算是凝丹期修士增进修为的丹药。也没听说可以贵到这种程度。当我们是冤大头么？”
"Hush! Do you want to die? Such talk is not allowed here. The Seven Extremes Heaven detests anyone who defames their reputation. Once discovered, there will be no mercy."
“ xū 。 nǐ xiǎng zhǎo sǐ ma 。 zhè zhǒng huà yě kě yǐ ná lái luàn shuō 。 qī jué tiān zuì hèn de jiù shì yǒu rén fěi bàng tā men de shēng yù 。 yí dàn fā xiàn 。 kě shì yào bù sǐ bù xiū 。”
“嘘。你想找死吗。这种话也可以拿来乱说。七绝天最恨的就是有人诽谤他们的声誉。一旦发现。可是要不死不休。”
The first person was startled and fell silent.
xiān qián nà rén xià le yī tiào 。 jìn ruò hán chán 。 bù zài kāi kǒu 。
先前那人吓了一跳。噤若寒蝉。不再开口。
However, the two people's discussion represented most of the cultivators' thoughts. Even if the Yin Spirit Pill truly had miraculous effects, without any ghost servants, it would serve no purpose. Moreover, five thousand crystal stones were too expensive.
bù guò liǎng rén yì lùn de zhè xiē 。 yě dài biǎo le dà bù fèn rén de kàn fǎ 。 yīn líng dān jiù suàn zhēn de jù yǒu shén xiào 。 zì jǐ méi yǒu guǐ pū 。 ná lái yě bú huì yǒu rèn hé de yòng chǔ 。 hé kuàng wǔ qiān jīng shí yě tài guì le 。
不过两人议论的这些。也代表了大部分人的看法。阴灵丹就算真的具有神效。自己没有鬼仆。拿来也不会有任何的用处。何况五千晶石也太贵了。
No one bid for a long time. It seemed this item was going to be unsold. Disappointment flashed in Li Hai Peng’s eyes as he signaled the maidservant to leave.
liáng jiǔ 。 yī rán méi yǒu rén yīng jià 。 kàn lái cǐ wù shì yào liú pāi le 。 liè hǎi péng de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ shī wàng zhī sè 。 jiù yào fēn fù nà míng shì nǚ xià qù 。
良久。依然没有人应价。看来此物是要流拍了。列海鹏的眼中闪过一缕失望之色。就要吩咐那名侍女下去。
Lin Xuan raised his hand: "Wait. Five thousand crystal stones. I’ll take this Yin Spirit Pill."
lín xuān jiāng shǒu jǔ qǐ ：“ qiě màn 。 wǔ qiān jīng shí 。 zhè yīn líng dān wǒ yào le 。”
林轩将手举起：“且慢。五千晶石。这阴灵丹我要了。”
Li Hai Peng was taken aback, quickly looking around and then showing a respectful expression. "Senior wants this pill? Good. Five thousand crystal stones are worth it; you won’t regret it."
liè hǎi péng yī lèng 。 lián máng xún shēng wàng qù 。 mù guāng zài lín xuān shēn shàng yī sǎo zhī xià 。 jiù lù chū le gōng jìng de biǎo qíng dào ：“ qián bèi yào zhè dān yào 。 hǎo 。 wǔ qiān jīng shí 。 wù yǒu suǒ zhí 。 nín jué bú huì hòu huǐ de 。”
列海鹏一愣。连忙循声望去。目光在林轩身上一扫之下。就露出了恭敬的表情道：“前辈要这丹药。好。五千晶石。物有所值。您绝不会后悔的。”
Lin Xuan smiled slightly, taking out fifty middle-grade crystal stones from his storage belt and handing them over. Li Hai Peng promptly instructed the maidservant to deliver the pills to Lin Xuan.
lín xuān wēi wēi yī xiào 。 cóng yāo jiān de chǔ wù dài lǐ 。 qǔ chū wǔ shí kuài zhōng jiē jīng shí dì le guò qù 。 liè hǎi péng yě lián máng fēn fù shì nǚ jiāng dān yào sòng dào lín xuān de shǒu lǐ 。
林轩微微一笑。从腰间的储物袋里。取出五十块中阶晶石递了过去。列海鹏也连忙吩咐侍女将丹药送到林轩的手里。
A deal was made; both parties were satisfied.
yī shǒu jiāo qián yī shǒu jiāo huò 。 shuāng fāng jiē dà huān xǐ 。
一手交钱一手交货。双方皆大欢喜。
Lin Xuan had delayed bidding because he hadn't heard of Yin Spirit Pill before and wasn’t sure if it was genuine. While the possibility of being tricked was slim, he didn’t want to be a fool.
lín xuān zhī suǒ yǐ nà me wǎn cái kāi kǒu 。 yě shì yīn wèi dì yī cì tīng wén yīn líng dān zhè zhǒng qí yào 。 bù zhī dào shì zhēn shì jiǎ 。 suī rán bèi piàn de kě néng xìng bù dà 。 dàn tā kě bù xī wàng dāng yuān dà tóu a 。
林轩之所以那么晚才开口。也是因为第一次听闻阴灵丹这种奇药。不知道是真是假。虽然被骗的可能性不大。但他可不希望当冤大头啊。
Thus, during his silence, Lin Xuan secretly released his spirit sense, listening in on everyone's conversations. The Seven Extremes Heaven had a good reputation; this Yin Spirit Pill seemed real.
suǒ yǐ chén mò nà yī duàn shí jiān 。 lín xuān qiāo qiāo fàng chū le shén shí 。 jiāng zhōu wéi rén de tán huà yī yī shōu rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。 qī jué tiān de kǒu bēi bù cuò 。 zhè yīn líng dān yīng gāi shì huò zhēn jià shí 。
所以沉默那一段时间。林轩悄悄放出了神识。将周围人的谈话一一收入耳朵里。七绝天的口碑不错。这阴灵丹应该是货真价实。
Although this item likely wouldn't fully cure Moon’s injuries, it should still provide some help. Lin Xuan wasn’t stingy with crystal stones.
suī rán cǐ wù duō bàn wú fǎ ràng yuè ér quán yù 。 dàn yīng gāi yě huì yǒu bù shǎo bāng zhù 。 lín xuān zì rán bú huì lìn sè jīng shí 。
虽然此物多半无法让月儿痊愈。但应该也会有不少帮助。林轩自然不会吝啬晶石。
The auction continued for two more hours. Finally, Li Hai Peng bowed to the audience: "My fellow cultivators, all items at this auction have been sold. Thank you for your attendance. We look forward to seeing you again next time."
pāi mài huì jì xù 。
拍卖会继续。
"What? It’s over already?"
liǎng gè shí chén yǐ hòu 。 liè hǎi péng chōng xià miàn bào le bào quán ：“ zhū wèi dào yǒu 。 zhè yī cì bǐ huì de wù pǐn yǐ jīng quán bù shòu chū 。 duō xiè dà jiā de guāng lín 。 xià yī cì jǔ xíng pāi mài huì de shí hòu 。 hái qǐng zhū wèi jì xù pěng chǎng 。”
两个时辰以后。列海鹏冲下面抱了抱拳：“诸位道友。这一次鄙会的物品已经全部售出。多谢大家的光临。下一次举行拍卖会的时候。还请诸位继续捧场。”
"Didn’t they say they had ghost servants for sale?"
“ shén me 。 zhè jiù wán le ？”
“什么。这就完了？”
The cultivators were taken aback and started whispering among themselves. However, Li Hai Peng made no explanation and simply left.
“ bú shì shuō yǒu guǐ pū chū shòu ma ？”
“不是说有鬼仆出售吗？”
Everyone was left confused and extremely dissatisfied. But the Seven Extremes Heaven had been around for tens of thousands of years; its strength was immeasurable, so no one dared to cause trouble. They could only grit their teeth and accept it.
zhòng xiū shì è rán 。 fēn fēn jiāo tóu jiē ěr de gǔ zào le qǐ lái 。 rán ér nà liè hǎi péng bù zuò rèn hé jiě shì 。 jiù zhè yàng zǒu le xià qù 。
众修士愕然。纷纷交头接耳的鼓噪了起来。然而那列海鹏不做任何解释。就这样走了下去。
Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised but satisfied with his acquisition of the Yin Spirit Pill. He didn’t say much as he prepared to leave.
zhòng rén bèi nòng de yún lǐ wù lǐ 。 zì rán shì xīn zhōng bù mǎn yǐ jí 。 rán ér qī jué tiān chuán chéng le shàng wàn nián 。 shí lì shēn bù kě cè 。 yě méi yǒu rén gǎn tiāo tóu rě shì 。 zhǐ hǎo niē zhe bí zi rèn le 。
众人被弄的云里雾里。自然是心中不满以极。然而七绝天传承了上万年。实力深不可测。也没有人敢挑头惹事。只好捏着鼻子认了。
"Senior, please wait."
lín xuān suī rán yǒu xiē yì wài 。 bù guò yīn líng dān de shōu huò yǐ jīng ràng tā mǎn yì 。 gù ér gèng bú huì duō yǔ 。 yě qǐ shēn zhǔn bèi lí qù 。
林轩虽然有些意外。不过阴灵丹的收获已经让他满意。故而更不会多语。也起身准备离去。
Lin Xuan turned back in surprise. A young woman dressed in court attire approached him, curtsied, and softly spoke: "Senior, my master has something to invite you. Would you be so kind as to grace us with your presence?"
“ qián bèi 。 qiě màn 。”
“前辈。且慢。”
"Something?" Lin Xuan sized up the girl and coldly replied: "I have no acquaintance with your master; I’m not interested."
lín xuān yǒu xiē è rán de huí guò tóu lái 。 yī wèi gōng zhuāng dǎ bàn de shào nǚ lái dào tā de miàn qián 。 yíng yíng xíng le yī lǐ 。 tán kǒu wēi zhāng 。 lüè dài jiāo róu de kāi kǒu le ：“ qián bèi 。 wǒ jiā zhǔ rén yǒu shì xiāng yāo 。 qián bèi kě fǒu shǎng guāng 。”
林轩有些愕然的回过头来。一位宫装打扮的少女来到他的面前。盈盈行了一礼。檀口微张。略带娇柔的开口了：“前辈。我家主人有事相邀。前辈可否赏光。”
He turned to leave. His current top priority was healing Moon’s injuries, so he wouldn’t waste time on strangers’ invitations.
“ yǒu shì ？” lín xuān dǎ liàng yī yǎn shào nǚ 。 lěng lěng de dào ：“ běn rén yú guì zhǔ rén sù bù xiāng shí 。 méi yǒu xìng qù 。”
“有事？”林轩打量一眼少女。冷冷的道：“本人于贵主人素不相识。没有兴趣。”
"Senior, please wait a moment. Don’t you want to know why there were rumors of selling ghost servants but none appeared at this auction?" Seeing Lin Xuan about to go, the girl showed signs of anxiety and quickly transmitted her voice: "Senior, rest assured; my master has no ill intentions. There are great benefits waiting for you. Please follow me to Bamboo Grove Pavilion to meet your master."
shuō wán zhuǎn shēn jiù zǒu 。 rú jīn de dì yī yào wù shì zhì yù yuè ér de shāng shì 。 lín xuān zì rán bú huì yīn wèi mò shēng rén de yāo qǐng ér dān gē 。
说完转身就走。如今的第一要务是治愈月儿的伤势。林轩自然不会因为陌生人的邀请而耽搁。
"Alright, lead the way."
“ qián bèi 。 qǐng děng yī děng 。 nín nán dào bù xiǎng zhī dào qián yī zhèn míng míng fàng chū fēng sè 。 wèi shén me zhè cì jiāo yì huì shàng zuì zhōng què méi yǒu guǐ pū chū shòu ？” jiàn lín xuān yào zǒu 。 shào nǚ de liǎn shàng lù chū yī lǚ jiāo jí zhī sè 。 lián máng kāi kǒu chuán yīn le 。
“前辈。请等一等。您难道不想知道前一阵明明放出风色。为什么这次交易会上最终却没有鬼仆出售？”见林轩要走。少女的脸上露出一缕焦急之色。连忙开口传音了。
Lin Xuan wasn’t interested in any benefits or ghost servants. However, if Seven Extremes Heaven could obtain such goods, it likely had extensive knowledge of theghostly spiritValley’s information. Perhaps there was something he wanted to know.
“ ó ？” lín xuān tíng xià jiǎo bù 。 sì hū zài chén yín zhe shén me 。 shào nǚ jiàn le 。 máng lüè dài kěn qiú yǔ yòu huò de kāi kǒu dào ：“ qián bèi fàng xīn 。 wǒ jiā zhǔ rén jué wú è yì 。 fǎn ér yǒu tiān dà de hǎo chù zài děng zhe nǐ 。 qǐng gēn xiǎo bì qù tīng zhú xuān yǔ zhǔ rén yī xù 。”
“哦？”林轩停下脚步。似乎在沉吟着什么。少女见了。忙略带恳求与诱惑的开口道：“前辈放心。我家主人绝无恶意。反而有天大的好处在等着你。请跟小婢去听竹轩与主人一叙。”
As for entering a stranger's domain, Lin Xuan didn't care. With his current cultivation and treasures, as long as he didn’t encounter an infant roundworm cultivator, even a base foundation cultivator at full maturity wouldn’t pose much of a threat to him.
“ hǎo ba 。 qián miàn dài lù 。”
“好吧。前面带路。”
Seeing that Lin Xuan agreed, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and curtsied again: "Please follow me."
lín xuān dāng rán bú shì tān tú duì fāng de hǎo chù 。 gèng méi yǒu xìng qù gòu mǎi shén me guǐ pū 。 bù guò qī jué tiān jì rán néng gòu de dào zhè yàng de huò wù 。 xiāng bì duì yú yīn hún xiá gǔ nèi xìn xī de liǎo jiě shì yuǎn chāo yì bān de xiū shì le 。 huò xǔ lǐ miàn huì yǒu zì jǐ xiǎng zhī dào de 。“
林轩当然不是贪图对方的好处。更没有兴趣购买什么鬼仆。不过七绝天既然能够的到这样的货物。相必对于阴魂峡谷内信息的了解是远超一般的修士了。或许里面会有自己想知道的。“
Lin Xuan nodded indifferently. The girl showed no displeasure; high-ranking cultivators like her often had some arrogance.
zhì yú lái dào mò shēng rén de de pán 。 huì bú huì yǒu wēi xiǎn 。 lín xuān dǎo shì háo bù zài yì 。 yǐ tā rú jīn de xiū wèi yǐ jí bǎo wù 。 zhǐ yào bú shì yù jiàn yuán yīng qī de lǎo guài 。 jiù suàn shì níng dān qī dà yuán mǎn de xiū shì yào duì tā bù lì 。 lín xuān yě shì yǒu shí zú de bǎ wò tuō shēn de 。
至于来到陌生人的的盘。会不会有危险。林轩倒是毫不在意。以他如今的修为以及宝物。只要不是遇见圆婴期的老怪。就算是凝丹期大圆满的修士要对他不利。林轩也是有十足的把握脱身的。
Following the court-dressed maiden, Lin Xuan discovered how vast this place was, with paths crisscrossing like a spider’s web. However, he wasn’t worried about getting lost as he carefully marked his path with spirit sense.
nà shào nǚ jiàn lín xuān dā yìng 。 sōng le kǒu qì 。 zài cì xíng le yī lǐ ：“ qián bèi qǐng gēn zhe xiǎo bì 。”
那少女见林轩答应。松了口气。再次行了一礼：“前辈请跟着小婢。”
After about an hour, they reached an open area, and Lin Xuan couldn't help expressing surprise when he saw what lay ahead.
Another maidservant brought a tray. Li Hai Peng lifted the red cloth.
"Today's auction item is an egg of the Second-grade Mixed Circle Beast."
The assembly of cultivators stirred once again. Unbelievably, it seemed that this time's offerings were exceptionally precious. Rare beast eggs, pills for base foundation cultivators to enhance their cultivation, and even a piece of ancient treasure had appeared.
Lin Xuan was also somewhat taken aback. Of course, he wasn't salivating over the treasures themselves; his last trip to Qingye Mountain had yielded far more than expected, so ordinary treasures no longer held any appeal for him.
