guǒ rán shì cǎo mù lèi de tiān cái dì bǎo ！
果然是草木类的天材地宝！
Surely, it's a rare and precious plant!
lín xuān suī rán hái méi yǒu kàn jiàn zuì hòu de pāi mài zhī wù ， dàn yǐ zài xīn zhōng kěn dìng zì jǐ de cāi cè 。
林轩虽然还没有看见最后的拍卖之物，但已在心中肯定自己的猜测。
Although Lin Xuan hadn't seen the final auction item yet, he was already certain about his guess.
rán ér jiē xià lái de yí mù ， què ràng qí dà jīng shī sè 。
然而接下来的一幕，却让其大惊失色。
However, what followed next left him utterly shocked.
“ pā dā ” yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì nà rú yǎ nán zi jiāng yù hé dǎ kāi le 。
“啪嗒”一声传入耳朵，却是那儒雅男子将玉盒打开了。
A "tap" sound entered his ears as the refined gentleman opened the jade box.
líng guāng yī shǎn ， zuì hòu de bǎo wù ， fú xiàn zài le dà jiā de miàn qián 。
灵光一闪，最后的宝物，浮现在了大家的面前。
A flash of spiritual light revealed the last treasure to everyone's view.
lín xuān chēng mù jié shé ， bù gǎn xiāng xìn yǐ zì jǐ de yǎn lì ， jū rán yě huì cāi cuò 。
林轩瞠目结舌，不敢相信以自己的眼力，居然也会猜错。
Lin Xuan gaped in disbelief, unable to believe that even with his sharp eyes, he could still be wrong.
nǎ lǐ yǒu shén me qí huā yì guǒ ， chéng xiàn zài yǎn lián de jū rán shì yí gè tóng lú 。
哪里有什么奇花异果，呈现在眼帘的居然是一个铜炉。
There were no strange flowers or exotic fruits; instead, a copper tripod was presented before him.
méi cuò ， tóng lú 。
没错，铜炉。
Indeed, it was a copper tripod.
yǒu yì xiāng yóu qí biǎo miàn sàn fà ér chū 。
有异香由其表面散发而出。
A faint aroma emanated from its surface, but regardless of the angle, it didn't seem like any precious item.
dàn bù lùn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù ， dōu bù xiàng shì shén me bǎo wù 。
但不论从哪个角度，都不像是什么宝物。
"What is this?"
“ zhè shì shén me dōng xī ？”
“这是什么东西？”
Lin Xuan stared at the palm-sized copper tripod, momentarily stunned.
lín xuān kàn zhuó yǎn qián bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de tóng lú ， yī shí jiān ， yě yǒu diǎn jīng dé dāi le 。
林轩看着眼前巴掌大小的铜炉，一时间，也有点惊得呆了。
No, not an ancient treasure, nor anything from the Profound Heaven realm. As for先天灵宝 (Primordial Spirit Treasure), that was out of the question; such a treasure would never appear in an auction.
bú duì ， bú shì gǔ bǎo ， gèng fēi xuán tiān zhī wù ， zhì yú xiān tiān líng bǎo ， nà gèng bù yòng xiǎng ， zhè yàng de bǎo bèi ， gēn běn bú huì chū xiàn zài pāi mài huì shàng 。
不对，不是古宝，更非玄天之物，至于先天灵宝，那更不用想，这样的宝贝，根本不会出现在拍卖会上。
Strange things happen every year, and this year seemed to be no exception. Lin Xuan was surprised but also intrigued by the final piece on the auction block. He couldn't see its purpose, yet Rain Mist Business Alliance took it so seriously that he doubted they wouldn’t have any ulterior motives.
guài shì nián nián yǒu ， jīn nián tè bié duō ， lín xuān jīng è zhī yú ， yě duì yú zhè zuì hòu yī jiàn yā zhòu de pāi mài pǐn ， chǎn shēng le xìng qù 。
怪事年年有，今年特别多，林轩惊愕之余，也对于这最后一件压轴的拍卖品，产生了兴趣。
Absolutely, there must be a reason; now all he had to do was wait for them to reveal their secret.
zì jǐ kàn bù chū tā yǒu shén me yòng tú ， rán ér yǔ lán shāng méng què rú cǐ zhèng zhòng qí shì ， kěn dìng bú huì shì wú dì fàng shǐ 。
自己看不出它有什么用途，然而雨岚商盟却如此郑重其事，肯定不会是无的放矢。
Lin Xuan wasn't in a hurry; patience was his ally.
bǎi fēn zhī bǎi ， huì yǒu yuán gù ， rú jīn jiù děng zhe duì fāng jiāng mí dǐ jiē xiǎo le 。
百分之百，会有缘故，如今就等着对方将谜底揭晓了。
But what followed next surprised him even more.
lín xuān bù jí ， zhè diǎn nài xīn kěn dìng shì yǒu dì 。
林轩不急，这点耐心肯定是有地。
Logically, such an important auction item would surely be introduced with great effort to fetch a high price!
rán ér jiē xià lái shì qíng de fā zhǎn ， zài cì chū hū tā yù liào zhī wài 。
然而接下来事情的发展，再次出乎他预料之外。
They would exaggerate its value, making it sound like something rare and invaluable.
àn lǐ shuō ， zhè me yī jiàn yā zhòu de pāi mài zhī wù ， wèi le pāi chū gāo jià ， duì fāng kěn dìng huì mài lì jiè shào yī fān a ！
按理说，这么一件压轴的拍卖之物，为了拍出高价，对方肯定会卖力介绍一番啊！
However, the outcome was far from that.
jí lì xuàn rǎn ， jiāng qí shuō dé tiān shàng shǎo yǒu ， dì xià quán wú ， zǒng ér yán zhī 。 jiù shì tiān huā luàn zhuì de chuī xū le 。
极力渲染，将其说得天上少有，地下全无，总而言之。就是天花乱坠的吹嘘了。
The speaker's words were simple to the point of being minimalistic.
rán ér jié guǒ què bìng bú shì zhè yàng de 。
然而结果却并不是这样的。
"Medicine River Tripod—essential for entering Medicine River territory. This item is sold only to those with a destiny. Wise friends, don't miss this opportunity."
duì fāng de yán yǔ ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， jiǎn dān dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
对方的言语，甚至可以说，简单到无以复加的地步。
The introduction amounted to just one sentence.
“ míng hé zhī lú ， jìn rù míng hé zhī dì de bì bèi zhī wù ， zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， zhǐ mài gěi yǒu yuán zhě ， shí huò de dào yǒu ， qiān wàn bù kě yǐ cuò guò 。”
“冥河之炉，进入冥河之地的必备之物，这件宝物，只卖给有缘者，识货的道友，千万不可以错过。”
Was he crazy? Wasn’t he afraid that it might not sell?
duì fāng de jiè shào ， jū rán zhǐ yǒu zhè me yī jù huà lái zhe 。
对方的介绍，居然只有这么一句话来着。
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded. What did "only for those with a destiny" mean? He wasn’t uneducated; and he believed most of the cultivators present were in similar situations as him.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò 。 tā jiù bù pà liú pāi me ？
有没有搞错。他就不怕流拍么？
His guess turned out to be correct.
lín xuān chēng mù jié shé ， shén me jiào zhǐ mài gěi yǒu yuán zhě ， zì jǐ jiù bù shí huò ， ér qiě tā xiāng xìn zài chǎng de xiū xiān zhě ， jué dà bù fèn de qíng kuàng yǔ zì jǐ xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
林轩瞠目结舌，什么叫只卖给有缘者，自己就不识货，而且他相信在场的修仙者，绝大部分的情况与自己相差仿佛。
The moment this statement was made, the participating cultivators expressed their dissatisfaction, loudly complaining:
ér lín xuān zhè fān cāi cè 。 hái zhēn méi yǒu cuò 。
而林轩这番猜测。还真没有错。
"Senior Fellow Daoist, what is your intention?"
cǐ huà yī chū ， cān jiā pāi mài de xiū shì men jiù lù chū bù mǎn zhī sè ， fēn fēn gǔ zào qǐ lái le ：
此话一出，参加拍卖的修士们就露出不满之色，纷纷鼓噪起来了：
"Indeed, as a key auction item, its purpose should have been explained. Saying it's essential for entering Medicine River territory, are you trying to fool us?"
“ gǔ dào yǒu ， nǐ zhè shì hé yì ？”
“古道友，你这是何意？”
...
“ bù cuò ， jì shì yā zhòu de pāi mài zhī wù ， yǒu shén me yòng tú ， zǒng yào shuō qīng chǔ 。 yī jù jìn rù míng hé zhī dì de bì bèi zhī wù ， nǐ zhè shì zài yú nòng wǒ men me ？”
“不错，既是压轴的拍卖之物，有什么用途，总要说清楚。一句进入冥河之地的必备之物，你这是在愚弄我们么？”
Doubts arose one after another. The auctioneer on the high platform smiled bitterly: "Fellow Daoists, this is unfair to me.
……
……
The true utility of this tripod is unclear to me as well. That introductory statement was given by an elder within the alliance."
yī shí jiān ， zhì yí shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， nà zhàn zài gāo tái shàng de pāi mài huì zhǔ chí zhě 。 zé kǔ xiào qǐ lái le ：“ gè wèi dào yǒu zhè me shuō ， kě jiù yuān wǎng le gǔ mǒu 。
一时间，质疑声此起彼伏，那站在高台上的拍卖会主持者。则苦笑起来了：“各位道友这么说，可就冤枉了古某。
"Rain Mist Business Alliance's elders?"
shí zài shì zhè tóng lú jiū jìng yǒu hé yòng chù ， zài xià yě bù qīng chǔ ， gāng cái nà jù jiè shào zhī cí 。 hái shì méng zhōng cháng lǎo jiāo dài de 。
实在是这铜炉究竟有何用处，在下也不清楚，刚才那句介绍之辞。还是盟中长老交代的。
Many of the grumbling ghosts and spirits fell silent upon hearing that phrase.
“ yǔ lán shāng méng de zhǎng lǎo ？”
“雨岚商盟的长老？”
As they say, one doesn't need to have eaten pork to know what a pig looks like.
bù shǎo zhèng zài gǔ zào de yīn hún guǐ wù ， tīng le zhè jù huà 。 dōu guāi guāi de bì shàng le zuǐ bā 。
不少正在鼓噪的阴魂鬼物，听了这句话。都乖乖的闭上了嘴巴。
Though they didn’t know how deep Rain Mist’s resources were, they understood that cross-realm business alliances were no small matter. Individuals who could hold such positions were undoubtedly old monsters who had successfully passed their tribulation.
sú huà shuō ， méi chī guò zhū ròu ， zǒng jiàn guò zhū pǎo 。
俗话说，没吃过猪肉，总见过猪跑。
Such beings couldn’t be trifled with.
tā men suī rán bù zhī dào ， yǔ lán shāng méng de dǐ yùn jiū jìng shēn hòu dào hé děng dì bù ， dàn yě míng bái ， kuà jiè shāng méng ， kěn dìng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， néng zài qí zhōng dān rèn zhǎng lǎo de rén wù ， bǎi fēn zhī bǎi ， shì dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù 。
他们虽然不知道，雨岚商盟的底蕴究竟深厚到何等地步，但也明白，跨界商盟，肯定是非同小可，能在其中担任长老的人物，百分之百，是渡劫级别的老怪物。
Given this instruction, they dared not speak further.
zhè yàng de cún zài ， kě bú shì tā men néng gòu dé zuì de 。
这样的存在，可不是他们能够得罪的。
After all,祸从口出 (trouble comes from one's mouth). If they continued to question, they might lose their lives here.
duì fāng jì rú cǐ jiāo dài ， tā men yě jiù bù gǎn zài duō yán 。
对方既如此交代，他们也就不敢再多言。
Regardless of the tripod’s effects, as a key auction item, it was unlikely that he would get a chance to obtain it.
xū zhī huò cóng kǒu chū ， ruò shì zài suí biàn zhì yí ， shuō bù dìng huì jiāng xiǎo mìng ér jiāo dài yú zhè lǐ 。
须知祸从口出，若是再随便质疑，说不定会将小命儿交代于这里。
Why risk it? It made sense to keep quiet and observe.
fǎn zhèng bù guò shì hào qí ， bù guǎn zhè tóng lú jiū jìng yǒu hé xiào guǒ ， zuò wèi yā zhòu bǎo wù ， duō bàn yě shì lún bù shàng zì jǐ de 。
反正不过是好奇，不管这铜炉究竟有何效果，做为压轴宝物，多半也是轮不上自己的。
The logic behind奇货可居 (rarity makes something valuable) was understood by all present.
jì rú cǐ ， hé bì kāi kǒu qǔ huò 。
既如此，何必开口取祸。
Some cultivators were already secretly calculating their moves.
duō kàn shǎo shuō cái shì zuì cōng míng de xuǎn zé 。
多看少说才是最聪明的选择。
However, not everyone was uneducated.
néng gòu lái dào pāi mài huì shàng de ， zhì shǎo yě shì dòng xuán yǐ shàng de xiū xiān zhě ， zhè me jiǎn dān de dào lǐ ， yòu qǐ huì bù xiǎo de 。
能够来到拍卖会上的，至少也是洞玄以上的修仙者，这么简单的道理，又岂会不晓得。
In one of the stone houses in the void, Tian Xiaojian's face was filled with excitement.
yí gè gè ， guāi guāi de jiāng zuǐ bā bì shàng le 。
一个个，乖乖的将嘴巴闭上了。
He tightly stared at the copper tripod: "Uncle, is this what you said about the treasure?"
dāng rán ， yě yǒu rén xiǎng yào hún shuǐ mō yú ， zhè pāi mài pǐn jiè shào dé rú cǐ jiǎn lüè ， dà jiā bù zài bù zhī dǐ xì de qíng kuàng xià ， kǒng pà hěn shǎo huì yǒu rén chū gāo jià zhēng duó ， ruò shì yùn qì bù cuò ， shuō bù dìng zì jǐ yě yǒu jī huì de 。
当然，也有人想要浑水摸鱼，这拍卖品介绍得如此简略，大家不在不知底细的情况下，恐怕很少会有人出高价争夺，若是运气不错，说不定自己也有机会的。
"Indeed, to enter Medicine River territory, this tripod serves as a key and is an indispensable item. You must obtain it."
bì jìng yǔ lán shāng méng xìn yù zhuó zhù ， bù tài kě néng ná chū bù zhí qián de dōng xī zuò wèi bǎo wù hū yōu zì jǐ 。
毕竟雨岚商盟信誉卓著，不太可能拿出不值钱的东西做为宝物忽悠自己。
"A key? So there are similar treasures?" Tian Xiaojian, being so smart, could easily deduce that.
suǒ yǐ zhè tóng lú suī rán lái lì shén mì ， dàn duō bàn yě shì yī yì bǎo lái zhe 。
所以这铜炉虽然来历神秘，但多半也是一异宝来着。
"Of course, there might be over a hundred of them; this copper tripod is just one among them," the Great Leader of the Demon Realm spoke slowly: "But don't underestimate its value. Although there are more than a hundred similar items, they are scattered across the Three Realms, making it as difficult to find one as fishing for needles in the ocean."
ruò zhēn néng jiāng qí pāi dào shǒu lǐ ， yě huì shì yī bù cuò de xuǎn zé 。
若真能将其拍到手里，也会是一不错的选择。
"Exactly!"
qí huò kě jū de dào lǐ ， xiāng xìn dà jiā dōu dǒng de 。
奇货可居的道理，相信大家都懂得。
This logic was clear to Tian Xiaojian, but he quickly turned his head: "Uncle, how do you know that such a treasure would appear at this auction in Black Stone City?"
yī xiē xiū shì yǐ zài xīn zhōng àn àn pán suàn zhe 。
一些修士已在心中暗暗盘算着。
"Heh, I naturally have my methods. Although I am left with only a fragment of my soul, in my past life, I was the Great Leader of the Demon Realm. Such simple matters couldn’t possibly stump me."
rán ér bìng fēi měi yí gè rén dōu bù shí huò 。
然而并非每一个人都不识货。
A cold laugh echoed into his ears. The speaker’s words indicated that he didn't want to reveal his secret. Tian Xiaojian was curious but understood that asking wouldn’t help.
zài xū kōng zhōng de mǒu dòng shí wū lǐ ， tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn shàng jiù mǎn shì xīng fèn zhī sè 。
在虚空中的某栋石屋里，田小剑的脸上就满是兴奋之色。
Cooperation was mutually beneficial; keeping secrets was normal. There was no need to provoke this old monster over a bit of curiosity, and Tian Xiaojian wasn’t so foolish.
jǐn jǐn de dīng zhe bàn kōng zhōng de tóng lú ：“ yì fù ， zhè jiù shì nǐ shuō de bǎo wù ？”
紧紧的盯着半空中的铜炉：“义父，这就是你说的宝物？”
Seeing the speaker unwilling to speak further, Tian Xiaojian didn't probe deeper.
“ bù cuò ， xiǎng yào jìn rù míng hé ， zhè tóng lú zuò wèi yào shi shì bù kě huò quē de bǎo wù ， wú lùn rú hé ， nǐ yě yào jiāng tā nòng dào shǒu de 。”
“不错，想要进入冥河，这铜炉做为钥匙是不可或缺的宝物，无论如何，你也要将它弄到手的。”
Instead, he asked another question: "Uncle, there must be more cultivators who can recognize such treasures."
“ yào shi ， zhè me shuō ， lèi sì de bǎo bèi bù zhǐ yí gè ？” tián xiǎo jiàn shì hé děng cōng míng de xiū xiān zhě ， jǔ yī fǎn sān méi yǒu rèn hé nán dù 。
“钥匙，这么说，类似的宝贝不止一个？”田小剑是何等聪明的修仙者，举一反三没有任何难度。
"Of course,"
“ zhè shì dāng rán de ， kǒng pà yǒu bǎi yú zhī shù ， zhè tóng lú ， bù guò shì qí zhōng zhī yī bà le 。” mó jiè dà tǒng lǐng huǎn huǎn kāi kǒu le ：“ bù guò nǐ yě bú yào xiǎo kàn cǐ wù ， suī rán lèi sì de hái yǒu bǎi yú zhī duō ， dàn què fēn bù yú sān jiè gè dì ， yǐ sān jiè miàn jī zhī guǎng ， xiǎng yào xún dào yī yàng ， dōu rú tóng dà hǎi lāo zhēn yī yàng 。”
“这是当然的，恐怕有百余之数，这铜炉，不过是其中之一罢了。”魔界大统领缓缓开口了：“不过你也不要小看此物，虽然类似的还有百余之多，但却分布于三界各地，以三界面积之广，想要寻到一样，都如同大海捞针一样。”
The Great Leader of the Demon Realm wore a look of agreement. "Certainly, true connoisseurs do exist. If my guess is correct, there are several渡劫期 (Tribulation Transcending) beings in this hall, and they’re not limited to ghosts and spirits?"
“ bù cuò ！”
“不错！”
"You mean old monsters from the Demon or Spirit Realms," Tian Xiaojian was surprised.
zhè dào lǐ tián xiǎo jiàn dāng rán xiǎo de ， dàn tā hěn kuài yòu zhuǎn guò tóu lú ：“ yì fù ， nà nǐ yòu zěn me zhī dào ， zhè hēi shí chéng de pāi mài huì shàng ， huì yǒu zhè yàng de bǎo wù 。”
这道理田小剑当然晓得，但他很快又转过头颅：“义父，那你又怎么知道，这黑石城的拍卖会上，会有这样的宝物。”
"Heh, I told you two days ago about that Medicine River Divine Fruit. How useful it is for cultivators who want it; it’s not just ghosts and spirits. Although entering the Underworld might be challenging, other realm's tribulation-transcending beings can still manage with some effort," (to be continued)
Surely, it's a rare and precious plant!
Although Lin Xuan hadn't seen the final auction item yet, he was already certain about his guess.
However, what followed next left him utterly shocked.
A "tap" sound entered his ears as the refined gentleman opened the jade box.
A flash of spiritual light revealed the last treasure to everyone's view.

Absolutely, there must be a reason; now all he had to do was wait for them to reveal their secret.
