duì fāng lái xún zhǎo zì jǐ ， jiū jìng yǒu hé mù dì ？
对方来寻找自己，究竟有何目的？
What could possibly be the purpose of them coming to find me?
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou lián shǎn bù yǐ ， què sī háo méi yǒu tóu xù ， suí hòu yǎ rán shī xiào qǐ lái ：“ zì jǐ hé bì zài zhè lǐ kōng fèi nǎo lì ， zhí jiē kāi kǒu xún wèn jiù xíng le 。【 wén xué ba zuì xīn gēng xīn 】”
林轩脑海中念头连闪不已，却丝毫没有头绪，随后哑然失笑起来：“自己何必在这里空费脑力，直接开口询问就行了。【文学吧最新更新】”
Lin Xuan's mind raced, but he couldn't come up with any clear idea. He then laughed hollowly: "Why waste my brainpower here? I should just ask directly."
qiě bù shuō ， zì jǐ yǔ yǔ lán shāng méng wǎng rì wú yuān ， jìn rì wú chóu 。
且不说，自己与雨岚商盟往日无冤，近日无仇。
To begin with, there was no grudge between him and Rain Mist Commerce Alliance in the past, nor did they have any recent conflicts.
jiù suàn zhēn yǒu shén me jiū gé ， zì jǐ táng táng yī dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， nán dào hái huì hài pà qū qū yī dòng xuán jí bié de cún zài me ？
就算真有什么纠葛，自己堂堂一渡劫级别的修仙者，难道还会害怕区区一洞玄级别的存在么？
Even if there were some disputes, as a cultivator who had already reached the Transcending Tribulation stage, he wouldn't be afraid of someone at the Profound Abyss level, right?
bīng lái jiāng dǎng shuǐ lái tǔ yǎn ！
兵来将挡水来土掩！
When the enemy comes, one meets them; when water comes, one uses earth to stop it!
yǔ lán shāng méng shì páng rán dà wù ， dàn rú jīn de zì jǐ ， yě bú shì rèn rén ná niē de xiǎo xiū xiān zhě 。
雨岚商盟是庞然大物，但如今的自己，也不是任人拿捏的小修仙者。
Rain Mist Commerce Alliance was a huge entity, but he wasn’t an easily manipulated cultivator now.
hé bì zhè yàng jǐn xiǎo shèn wēi ne ？
何必这样谨小慎微呢？
Why be so cautious?
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ：“ lín mǒu zuò shì ， bù xǐ huān rào quān zi ， dào yǒu bù yuǎn wàn lǐ ， zhuān chéng lái xún fǎng yú wǒ ， jiū jìng suǒ wèi hé shì ？”
念及至此，林轩嘴角边流露出一丝笑意：“林某做事，不喜欢绕圈子，道友不远万里，专程来寻访于我，究竟所为何事？”
With that thought, Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile: "I don't like beating around the bush. Fellow Daoist, you traveled such a long distance just to find me. What is your purpose?"
“ hē hē ， qián bèi bù yòng duō xīn ， wǎn bèi fèng mìng qián lái ， dāng rán bù kě néng shì duì nín bù lì ， ér shì yǒu yī tiān dà de hǎo shì ， tōng zhī yú nǐ 。”
“呵呵，前辈不用多心，晚辈奉命前来，当然不可能是对您不利，而是有一天大的好事，通知于你。”
"Haha, Senior needn't worry. I was sent here with a specific mission, and it certainly isn’t for your benefit. There’s a grand event that will take place, and I’m here to invite you."
“ hǎo shì ？”
“好事？”
"Grand event?" Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead, showing some contemplative expression: "Fellow Daoist is jesting. Although I’ve heard of the Rain Mist Commerce Alliance's reputation, we have no dealings with each other. If there’s any benefit, why would it be given freely? I’m not a greedy cultivator; I understand that good things don’t fall from the sky."
lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn chén yín zhī sè ：“ dào yǒu shuō xiào le ， lín mǒu suī rán jiǔ wén guì shāng méng de dà míng ， dàn bǐ cǐ zhī jiān ， què sù wú wǎng lái ， ruò zhēn yǒu shén me hǎo chù ， yòu zěn me kě néng píng bái sòng yǔ wǒ ， lín mǒu kě bú shì shén me tān xīn de xiū xiān zhě ， tiān shàng bú huì diào xiàn bǐng de dào lǐ ， duō shǎo hái shì dǒng de 。”
林轩以手抚额，脸上露出几分沉吟之色：“道友说笑了，林某虽然久闻贵商盟的大名，但彼此之间，却素无往来，若真有什么好处，又怎么可能平白送予我，林某可不是什么贪心的修仙者，天上不会掉馅饼的道理，多少还是懂的。”
"I assure you, Senior, my intentions are genuine. The Peach Blossom Festival is coming up every three thousand years, and as an envoy, I’ve come to invite you," said the slender man with a smile.
“ qián bèi bù yòng zhè yàng jiè huái ， wǎn bèi lái cǐ ， zhēn wú è yì ， ér shì měi sān wàn nián yī cì de pán táo shèng huì ， jiāng yào zhào kāi ， wǎn bèi zuò wéi shǐ zhě ， qián lái yāo qǐng yú nǐ bà le 。” shòu xuē hàn zi mǎn liǎn wēi xiào de shuō 。
“前辈不用这样介怀，晚辈来此，真无恶意，而是每三万年一次的蟠桃盛会，将要召开，晚辈作为使者，前来邀请于你罢了。”瘦削汉子满脸微笑的说。
"Peach Blossom Festival?"
“ pán táo shèng huì ？”
“蟠桃盛会？”
Lin Xuan was bewildered. He turned his head to think deeply; he had never heard of such a festival before.
lín xuān tīng le ， què shì lù chū yī liǎn de máng rán zhī sè ， cè guò tóu lú zǐ xì sī suǒ ， zhè pán táo shèng huì shén me de ， zì jǐ cóng wèi tīng shuō 。
林轩听了，却是露出一脸的茫然之色，侧过头颅仔细思索，这蟠桃盛会什么的，自己从未听说。
"Do you really not know about the Peach Blossom Festival, Senior?" asked the slender man, looking incredulous.
“ qián bèi bù zhī dào pán táo shèng huì ， zhēn de jiǎ de ？”
“前辈不知道蟠桃盛会，真的假的？”
The fame of the Peach Blossom Festival was well-known among cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage. It wasn’t unusual for ordinary cultivators to have no knowledge of it, but in the eyes of old monsters who had already transcended tribulations, its name was legendary and widely known.
jiàn lín xuān yī liǎn de máng rán zhī sè ， nà shòu xuē hàn zi liǎn shàng lù chū bù kě sī yì de biǎo qíng lái le 。
见林轩一脸的茫然之色，那瘦削汉子脸上露出不可思议的表情来了。
This Lin Senior before him might be a high-level cultivator, as he easily defeated the Nine-Eyed Blood Toad, making him an exceptional expert. How could such an old monster not know about the Peach Blossom Festival?
yào zhī dào pán táo huì de dà míng ， pǔ tōng xiū xiān zhě 。 bù céng tīng guò ， nà shì fēi cháng zhèng cháng de ， kě zài dù jié qī lǎo guài zhōng ， què shì fēi cháng yǒu míng ， shuō wú rén bù zhī ， wú rén bù xiǎo ， yě bù suàn yǒu hé kuā zhāng zhī chù 。
要知道蟠桃会的大名，普通修仙者。不曾听过，那是非常正常的，可在渡劫期老怪中，却是非常有名，说无人不知，无人不晓，也不算有何夸张之处。
Seeing his stunned expression, Lin Xuan only smiled bitterly.
zhàn zài qián miàn de zhè wèi lín qián bèi ， jù tǐ jìng jiè tā suī rán bù xiǎo de ， dàn néng gòu jiāng jiǔ mù xuè chán qīng yì miè chú ， jué duì shì yī bù dé le de gāo shǒu 。 zhè yàng de lǎo guài wù ， zěn me kě néng lián pán táo huì de dà míng ， dōu bù céng tīng shuō guò ？
站在前面的这位林前辈，具体境界他虽然不晓得，但能够将九目血蟾轻易灭除，绝对是一不得了的高手。这样的老怪物，怎么可能连蟠桃会的大名，都不曾听说过？
He knew his situation well.
jiàn duì fāng chēng mù jié shé ， lín xuān yě wéi yǒu kǔ xiào le 。
见对方瞠目结舌，林轩也唯有苦笑了。
Indeed, his strength was formidable; he had transcended the lifespan limit and entered the late Tribulation Transcending stage due to various fortunate coincidences. He had only been on the path of cultivation for less than four thousand years, making him unparalleled in the Three Realms throughout history. His achievements might even surpass those of the ancient Asura King.
zì jǐ de qíng kuàng ， zì jǐ xīn lǐ yǒu shù 。
自己的情况，自己心里有数。
Moreover, he often traveled between different planes, so while his strength was considerable, his knowledge in certain areas was lacking. Not knowing about the Peach Blossom Festival wasn’t surprising.
méi cuò ， tā de shí lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yǐ jīng zhèng tuō shòu yuán shù fù ， mài rù dù jié hòu qī le 。
没错，他的实力非同小可，已经挣脱寿元束缚，迈入渡劫后期了。
Of course, Lin Xuan only thought this to himself; he wouldn’t explain it to a mere Profound Abyss cultivator.
dàn nà shì yīn wèi gè zhǒng qí yù gòu duō ， lín xuān cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù 。 dào xiū liàn dào rú jīn ， lián sì qiān nián dōu bù zú 。
但那是因为各种奇遇够多，林轩从踏上修仙之路。到修炼到如今，连四千年都不足。
"Senior, I indeed don't know about the Peach Blossom Festival. Could you enlighten me?" Lin Xuan asked humbly.
fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， shuō qián wú gǔ rén hòu wú lái zhě yě méi yǒu cuò 。
放眼三界，纵横今古，说前无古人后无来者也没有错。
"I jest, Senior. As an envoy sent by the commerce alliance, my duty is to answer any questions for our seniors. If you wish to know, I will speak without reservation."
bǐ zhī xī rì de ā xiū luó wáng 。 yě bú jiàn de xùn sè 。
比之昔日的阿修罗王。也不见得逊色。
The slender man spoke respectfully, his face showing a barely noticeable hint of joy. Tribulation Transcending cultivators were not within his reach; he could only approach them occasionally.
ér zì jǐ bù jǐn xiū liàn xùn sù ， ér qiě hái jīng cháng zài gè dà jiè miàn jiān chuān suō 。
而自己不仅修炼迅速，而且还经常在各大界面间穿梭。
Originally, he was just an envoy tasked with delivering invitations. Now, by helping this old monster, he could gain benefits that would last him a lifetime.
suǒ yǐ ， shí lì gù rán shì shàng qù le ， dàn mǒu xiē fāng miàn de jiàn shí 。 què shì bù zú 。
所以，实力固然是上去了，但某些方面的见识。却是不足。
With that thought, he felt elated and began to explain: "The Peach Blossom Festival is hosted by our commerce alliance every three thousand years, inviting top-tier experts from the Spirit Realm. It consists of two steps: an auction and an exchange."
bù zhī dào pán táo shèng huì wèi hé wù ， yě jiù bù zú wéi qí le 。
不知道蟠桃盛会为何物，也就不足为奇了。
"Top-tier experts?"
dāng rán ， zhè ge zhōng yuán wěi 。 lín xuān yě jǐn jǐn shì xiǎng xiǎng bà le ， bù kě néng qù duì yī qū qū de dòng xuán qī xiū shì ， jiě shì shén me 。
当然，这个中原委。林轩也仅仅是想想罢了，不可能去对一区区的洞玄期修士，解释什么。
"Yes, those qualified for the Peach Blossom Festival are the elite among all planes in the Spirit Realm—advanced Tribulation Transcending cultivators and outstanding middle-stage ones. Even newly promoted Tribulation Transcenders don’t have the qualifications to participate."
“ pán táo shèng huì ， lín mǒu què rán bù qīng chǔ ， dào yǒu kě fǒu jiě shì yī èr ne ？” lín xuān bù chǐ xià wèn de kāi kǒu le 。
“蟠桃盛会，林某确然不清楚，道友可否解释一二呢？”林轩不耻下问的开口了。
"Oh?"
“ qián bèi shuō xiào le ， wǎn bèi shēn wèi shāng méng pài chū lái de shǐ zhě ， yuán běn jiù fù yǒu tì gè wèi qián bèi jiě dá yí huò de zhí zé ， nín xiǎng yào zhī dào ， wǒ zì rán shì zhī wú bù yán yán wú bù jìn de 。”
“前辈说笑了，晚辈身为商盟派出来的使者，原本就负有替各位前辈解答疑惑的职责，您想要知道，我自然是知无不言言无不尽的。”
Lin Xuan became interested when he heard this.
shòu xuē hàn zi gōng gōng jìng jìng de shuō ， liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī bù yì chá jué de xǐ sè ， dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， nǎ ér shì tā zhè ge jìng jiè de cún zài ， píng shí kě yǐ jiē jìn de 。
瘦削汉子恭恭敬敬的说，脸上闪过一丝不易察觉的喜色，渡劫级别的修仙者，哪儿是他这个境界的存在，平时可以接近的。
Even a late-stage Tribulation Transcender wasn't qualified, making the requirements for the Peach Blossom Festival extremely stringent and exciting.
yuán běn zì jǐ zhǐ shì wèi shāng méng chuán dì qǐng jiǎn de shǐ zhě ， rú jīn néng gòu tì yǎn qián de lǎo guài wù jiě huò ， tā yī gāo xìng ， suí biàn gěi yì diǎn hǎo chù ， zì jǐ jiù zhōng shēng shòu yòng bù jìn le 。
原本自己只是为商盟传递请柬的使者，如今能够替眼前的老怪物解惑，他一高兴，随便给一点好处，自己就终生受用不尽了。
Sure enough, there would be many unexpected treasures at the auction.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， tā hún shēn huǒ rè ， lián máng gōng gōng jìng jìng de jiě shì qǐ lái le ：“ zhè pán táo shèng huì ， shì bì shāng méng jǔ bàn de ， měi sān wàn nián yī cì ， yāo qǐng líng jiè de dǐng jí dà néng cān jiā ， fēn wéi liǎng gè bù zhòu ， yī shì pāi mài huì ， èr shì jiāo huàn huì 。”
念及至此，他浑身火热，连忙恭恭敬敬的解释起来了：“这蟠桃盛会，是敝商盟举办的，每三万年一次，邀请灵界的顶级大能参加，分为两个步骤，一是拍卖会，二是交换会。”
The exchange session might bring together middle-advanced Tribulation Transcenders to trade, which could lead to finding what he wanted.
“ dǐng jí dà néng ？”
“顶级大能？”
Lin Xuan started to take interest.
“ bù cuò ， yǒu zī gé cān jiā pán táo shèng huì de ， dōu shì líng jiè gè jiè miàn de dǐng jí qiáng zhě ， dù jié hòu qī xiū shì yǔ zhōng qī cún zài zhōng de jiǎo jiǎo zhě ， biàn shì gāng jìn jiē dù jié de qián bèi ， yě méi yǒu cān jiā de zī gé 。”
“不错，有资格参加蟠桃盛会的，都是灵界各界面的顶级强者，渡劫后期修士与中期存在中的佼佼者，便是刚进阶渡劫的前辈，也没有参加的资格。”
But on the surface, his expression remained unchanged: "Peach Blossom Festival—does it include peaches as its name suggests?"
“ ó ？”
“哦？”
He asked this because of a reason. In the cultivation world, there were countless treasures and wonders, but at Lin Xuan's level, what truly caught his attention were the legendary three divine fruits.
lín xuān tīng dào zhè lǐ ， yǒu xiē gǎn xìng qù le 。
林轩听到这里，有些感兴趣了。
According to legend, these trees were among the earliest creations after the混沌opened. Their fruits contained the most primitive laws of the universe. For late-stage Tribulation Transcenders, they could aid in understanding domains.
lián dù jié chū qī de lǎo guài wù ， dōu bù gòu gé ， zhè ge shén me pán táo shèng huì de yāo qiú ， què rán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lìng rén qī dài jí le 。
连渡劫初期的老怪物，都不够格，这个什么蟠桃盛会的要求，确然是非同小可，令人期待极了。
Domains were the ultimate power for later-stage cultivators, and whether one mastered a domain had profound implications that couldn’t be easily explained.
bú yòng shuō ， pāi mài huì shàng kěn dìng huì chū xiàn xǔ duō yì xiǎng bù dào de qí zhēn yì bǎo 。
不用说，拍卖会上肯定会出现许多意想不到的奇珍异宝。
While it wasn't an exaggeration to say there was a world of difference between them, a late-stage cultivator with a domain could easily defeat several without one.
hòu miàn de jiāo huàn huì ， yī qún dù jié zhōng hòu qī de lǎo guài wù hù tōng yǒu wú ， shuō bù dìng yě néng xún dào zì jǐ xiǎng yào de bǎo wù 。
后面的交换会，一群渡劫中后期的老怪物互通有无，说不定也能寻到自己想要的宝物。
Although he most desired advancing from two Baby Souls, finding the three divine fruits and mastering domains would also be his dream come true.
lín xuān kāi shǐ dòng xīn le 。
林轩开始动心了。
That's why he asked.
dàn biǎo miàn shàng ， què sī háo yì sè bù lù ：“ pán táo shèng huì ， gù míng sī yì ， pāi mài huì shàng kě huì chū xiàn pán táo shèng guǒ ？”
但表面上，却丝毫异色不露：“蟠桃盛会，顾名思义，拍卖会上可会出现蟠桃圣果？”
However, the slender man sighed: "Senior, this is truly difficult for me."
lín xuān zhī suǒ yǐ zhè yàng wèn ， zì rán shì yǒu yuán gù 。
林轩之所以这样问，自然是有缘故。
"Why?"
xiū xiān jiè qí zhēn yì bǎo wú shù ， dàn shí lì dào le lín xuān zhè yàng de děng jí ， zuì lìng tā dòng xīn de ， zì rán hái shì chuán shuō zhōng de xiū xiān jiè sān dà shén guǒ 。
修仙界奇珍异宝无数，但实力到了林轩这样的等级，最令他动心的，自然还是传说中的修仙界三大神果。
"I'm just an envoy; what treasures are on sale at the auction? I can't know as a cultivator like myself. But..."
chuán shuō zhè sān zhǒng guǒ shù ， dōu shì hùn dùn chū kāi zhī wù ， suǒ jié guǒ shí ， yùn hán tiān dì jiān zuì yuán shǐ de fǎ zé ， dù jié hòu qī xiū shì dé dào le ， yǒu zhù yú lǐng yù de lǐng wù 。
传说这三种果树，都是混沌初开之物，所结果实，蕴含天地间最原始的法则，渡劫后期修士得到了，有助于领域的领悟。
"But what?"
lǐng yù ， nà kě shì hòu qī cún zài zuì mèng mèi yǐ qiú de shén tōng ， shì fǒu cān tòu le lǐng yù ， duì yú hòu qī xiū shì de yǐng xiǎng ， gēn běn jiù nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ shuō qīng chǔ 。
领域，那可是后期存在最梦寐以求的神通，是否参透了领域，对于后期修士的影响，根本就难以用言语说清楚。
"According to my knowledge, peaches only mature once every million years or so. So the chances of them appearing in the auction are slim. Of course, anything is possible with good luck."
bǐ cǐ zhī jiān de shí lì ， shuō yǒu tiān rǎng zhī bié tài guò ， dàn yī míng yōng yǒu lǐng yù de hòu qī qiáng zhě ， duì shàng shù míng méi yǒu lǐng yù de xiū shì ， néng gòu qīng sōng qǔ shèng ， kě jué bú shì chuī xū 。
彼此之间的实力，说有天壤之别太过，但一名拥有领域的后期强者，对上数名没有领域的修士，能够轻松取胜，可绝不是吹嘘。
"Hmm," Lin Xuan nodded. This answer was satisfactory: "Other than top-tier experts from the Spirit Realm, will cultivators from other planes also be invited?"
lín xuān xiàn zài ， suī rán zuì xiǎng de shì ， liǎng gè yuán yīng de jìn jí ， dàn ruò néng gòu zhǎo dào sān dà shén guǒ ， cān tòu lǐng yù ， yě shì tā mèng mèi yǐ qiú dì 。
林轩现在，虽然最想的是，两个元婴的晋级，但若能够找到三大神果，参透领域，也是他梦寐以求地。
"I’m not sure, but usually, apart from the great experts of the Spirit Realm, some invitations are extended to powerful figures from other planes as well. However, their numbers are much fewer compared to those of the Spirit Realm," said the slender man.
What could possibly be the purpose of them coming to find me?
Lin Xuan's mind raced, but he couldn't come up with any clear idea. He then laughed hollowly: "Why waste my brainpower here? I should just ask directly."
To begin with, there was no grudge between him and Rain Mist Commerce Alliance in the past, nor did they have any recent conflicts.
Even if there were some disputes, as a cultivator who had already reached the Transcending Tribulation stage, he wouldn't be afraid of someone at the Profound Abyss level, right?
When the enemy comes, one meets them; when water comes, one uses earth to stop it!
Rain Mist Commerce Alliance was a huge entity, but he wasn’t an easily manipulated cultivator now.
Why be so cautious?
With that thought, Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile: "I don't like beating around the bush. Fellow Daoist, you traveled such a long distance just to find me. What is your purpose?"
"Haha, Senior needn't worry. I was sent here with a specific mission, and it certainly isn’t for your benefit. There’s a grand event that will take place, and I’m here to invite you."
