“ hēng ， lǎo fū yǔ nǐ yī róng jù róng ， yī sǔn jù sǔn ， hé zuò le shù qiān nián ， shén me shí hòu qī piàn guò nǐ ， nǐ ruò shì xìn bù guò wǒ ， yòu hé bì xiàng wǒ dǎ tàn shén me ？”
“哼，老夫与你一荣俱荣，一损俱损，合作了数千年，什么时候欺骗过你，你若是信不过我，又何必像我打探什么？”
"Hmph, you and me share a common fate. We've cooperated for thousands of years; when have I ever deceived you? If you don't trust me, why do you need to pry into my affairs?"
mó zú dà tǒng lǐng fèn mèn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。※※
魔族大统领愤懑的声音传入耳朵。※※
The angry voice of the Demon Lord's Grand Commander echoed in his ears.
“ yì fù xī nù ， hái ér gāng cái shì yīn wèi tài guò shī wàng ， suǒ yǐ cái kǒu bù zé yán de ， nín dà rén bù jì xiǎo rén guò ， jiù bú yào yǔ wǒ yì bān jì jiào le 。”
“义父息怒，孩儿刚才是因为太过失望，所以才口不择言的，您大人不计小人过，就不要与我一般计较了。”
"Father, please calm down. I just spoke out of disappointment. You are a magnanimous person who doesn’t hold grudges against petty mistakes; there’s no need for us to quarrel."
tián xiǎo jiàn bào quán xíng le yī lǐ ， mǎn liǎn huǐ yì ， shēng yīn yě zhēn chéng yǐ jí 。
田小剑抱拳行了一礼，满脸悔意，声音也真诚以极。
Field Sword bowed and performed a respectful gesture, his face filled with regret as he spoke sincerely.
dāng rán ， suǒ yǒu de zhè xiē ， dōu bù guò shì zuò xì 。
当然，所有的这些，都不过是做戏。
Of course, all this was merely acting.
bù kě fǒu rèn de shì ， tā jìn jí rú cǐ xùn sù ， mó zú dà tǒng lǐng gōng bù kě méi ， rú jīn duì fāng hái yǒu jí dà de lì yòng jià zhí ， dāng rán bù néng yīn wèi yì diǎn xiǎo shì ， jiù yǔ tā sī pò liǎn pí 。
不可否认的是，他晋级如此迅速，魔族大统领功不可没，如今对方还有极大的利用价值，当然不能因为一点小事，就与他撕破脸皮。
It couldn't be denied that his rapid advancement owed much to the Demon Lord's Grand Commander. With significant value still in store, it wouldn’t do to break ties over such trivial matters.
xiǎo bù rěn zé luàn dà móu ！
小不忍则乱大谋！
Small-mindedness can ruin great plans!
tián xiǎo jiàn kě bú shì yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ， xīn xìng chéng shú ， bù lùn shí lì ， hái shì zhì móu ， kě shì kān yǔ lín xuān xiāng pì měi de rén wù 。
田小剑可不是一般的修仙者，心性成熟，不论实力，还是智谋，可是堪与林轩相媲美的人物。
Field Sword wasn’t an ordinary cultivator; he had a mature mind, both in terms of strength and intellect, rivaling Lin Xuan.
néng qū néng shēn fāng wèi dà zhàng fū ， zhè shí hòu dī yī xià tou bìng bù suàn yǒu hé diū liǎn zhī chù 。
能屈能伸方为大丈夫，这时候低一下头并不算有何丢脸之处。
A true man can adapt and bend—lowering his head now was nothing to be ashamed of.
jiàn tián xiǎo jiàn fú ruǎn ， mó zú dà tǒng lǐng de liǎn sè yě bù zài nà me nán kàn ， bì jìng tā yě bú shì zhēn de shēng qì ， zhǐ shì shì shí hòu qiāo dǎ qiāo dǎ tián xiǎo jiàn ér yǐ 。
见田小剑服软，魔族大统领的脸色也不再那么难看，毕竟他也不是真的生气，只是是时候敲打敲打田小剑而已。
Seeing Field Sword submit, the Demon Lord's Grand Commander’s expression softened. He wasn't truly angry but merely needed to remind Field Sword of his place.
hé zé liǎng lì ， ruò zhēn yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn yī pāi liǎng sàn ， yú tā yě méi yǒu hǎo chù ， jiàn hǎo jiù shōu de dào lǐ ， zhè lǎo guài wù yòu qǐ huì bù qīng chǔ 。
合则两利，若真与田小剑一拍两散，于他也没有好处，见好就收的道理，这老怪物又岂会不清楚。
Mutual benefit is key; breaking ties with Field Sword wouldn’t serve him well. This old monster knew very well that it would be wise to accept the situation.
“ nǐ jì rán zhī dào cuò le ， yǐ hòu jiù bú yào zài fàn 。”
“你既然知道错了，以后就不要再犯。”
"If you know your mistake, don’t repeat it."
“ shì ， duō xiè yì fù ， nǐ shuō de zhè bǎo wù jiū jìng shì shén me ？”
“是，多谢义父，你说的这宝物究竟是什么？”
"Yes, thank you, Father. What exactly is this treasure?"
tián xiǎo jiàn yī biān shuō ， yī biān ná qǐ le qián miàn de yù hé ， lǐ miàn shèng fàng zhe yī lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de bǎo wù ， zhà yī kàn ， yǒu xiē xiàng zhū guǒ ， rán ér biǎo miàn què yǒu wǔ yán liù sè de guāng yùn pēn bó ， zǐ xì yī kàn ， zhè xiē guāng yùn ， jū rán shì yóu wú shù xì ruò mǐ lì de fú wén pái liè zǔ chéng de ， dàng zhēn shì shén mì dào le jí chù 。”
田小剑一边说，一边拿起了前面的玉盒，里面盛放着一龙眼大小的宝物，乍一看，有些像朱果，然而表面却有五颜六色的光晕喷薄，仔细一看，这些光晕，居然是由无数细若米粒的符文排列组成的，当真是神秘到了极处。”
Field Sword picked up the jade box in front of him, revealing a fruit-sized object inside. At first glance, it resembled a jujube, but upon closer inspection, colorful light radiated from countless tiny符文 arranged like grains of rice, truly mysterious.
gāng cái yīn wèi shī wàng méi yǒu liú yì zhè jiàn bǎo wù 。 cǐ shí xì xì bǎ wán guǒ rán fā xiàn tā de bù fán 。
刚才因为失望没有留意这件宝物。此时细细把玩果然发现它的不凡。
Disappointed earlier, he had overlooked its significance. Now, after careful examination, he could see its extraordinary nature.
zhǐ shì jiū jìng shì shén me bǎo wù ， tián xiǎo jiàn yī jiù bù qīng chǔ ， suǒ yǐ zhǐ néng yǎn bā bā de děng zháo mó zú dà tǒng lǐng jiě huò 。
只是究竟是什么宝物，田小剑依旧不清楚，所以只能眼巴巴的等着魔族大统领解惑。
Still, what exactly this treasure was remained unclear to him, so he waited eagerly for the Demon Lord's Grand Commander to explain.
“ zhè bǎo bèi míng jiào xuán tiān zhū guǒ ， suī rán duì yú cān wù lǐng yù méi yǒu shén me bāng zhù ， dàn jià zhí zhī dà ， yě bù tài xùn yú pán táo de 。” mó zú dà tǒng lǐng dào yě bù zěn me mài guān zi le 。
“这宝贝名叫玄天朱果，虽然对于参悟领域没有什么帮助，但价值之大，也不太逊于蟠桃的。”魔族大统领倒也不怎么卖关子了。
"This treasure is called Xuan Tian Jujube. While it doesn’t aid in domain comprehension, its value rivals that of peaches," the Demon Lord's Grand Commander said without much hesitation.
“ ó ， hái qǐng yì fù xiáng shuō 。”
“哦，还请义父详说。”
"Oh, please elaborate."
“ zhè xuán tiān zhū guǒ de lái lì méi yǒu rén qīng chǔ ， chuán shuō shì xiān jiā zhī wù ， yòng tā liàn zhì de xuán tiān dān fú yòng hòu kě yǐ chéng wéi dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě 。”
“这玄天朱果的来历没有人清楚，传说是仙家之物，用它炼制的玄天丹服用后可以成为渡劫后期的修仙者。”
"The origin of this Xuan Tian Jujube is unknown; legend has it that it’s a divine artifact. Consuming it can transform one into an advanced cultivator capable of withstanding a heavenly tribulation."
“ shén me ， fú yòng hòu 。 kě yǐ mài rù dù jié hòu qī ， yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， nà qǐ bù shì bǐ pán táo gèng jiā zhēn xī le ？”
“什么，服用后。可以迈入渡劫后期，有没有搞错，那岂不是比蟠桃更加珍稀了？”
"What? Transform into someone who can withstand a heavenly tribulation after consuming it? Are you sure? That would make it even more precious than peaches!"
tián xiǎo jiàn liǎn shàng lù chū bù kě sī yì zhī sè 。
田小剑脸上露出不可思议之色。
Field Sword's face showed disbelief.
“ hēi ， dāng rán bú shì zhēn zhèng de jìn jí ， zhǐ shì zàn shí zhǎng wò dù jié hòu qī de lì liàng ér yǐ ， ér qiě bìng fēi yī sī tiáo jiàn yě wú ， bì xū yào shì jiàn ér nǐ zhè yàng de dù jié zhōng qī xiū shì fú yòng hòu cái yǒu xiào guǒ 。”
“嘿，当然不是真正的晋级，只是暂时掌握渡劫后期的力量而已，而且并非一丝条件也无，必须要是剑儿你这样的渡劫中期修士服用后才有效果。”
"Of course, it’s not actual advancement; just temporary access to the power of an advanced cultivator. There are conditions—only a mid-stage tribulation cultivator like you can benefit from it."
“ zàn shí jìn rù dù jié hòu qī me ？”
“暂时进入渡劫后期么？”
"Temporary entry into an advanced stage?"
tián xiǎo jiàn liǎn shàng lù chū chén yín zhī sè 。
田小剑脸上露出沉吟之色。
Field Sword pondered this.
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
"Exactly," the Demon Lord's Grand Commander nodded. "Though temporary, don’t underestimate its value; staying at that stage for a year is possible after consumption."
mó zú dà tǒng lǐng diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ suī rán shì zàn shí ， dàn nǐ yě bú yào xiǎo kàn le ， yīn wèi fú yòng hòu 。 tíng liú zài dù jié hòu qī de shí xiào ， zú zú yǒu yī nián zhī jiǔ 。”
魔族大统领点了点头：“虽然是暂时，但你也不要小看了，因为服用后。停留在渡劫后期的时效，足足有一年之久。”
"What? A whole year?" Field Sword was surprised.
“ shén me ， yī nián ， zhè me jiǔ ？” tián xiǎo jiàn yǒu xiē jīng yà le 。
“什么，一年，这么久？”田小剑有些惊讶了。
"Ha, you must be thinking of the benefits. With a year to refine your cultivation, given your talent, it will be effortless. This saves countless hardships," Field Sword’s face showed excitement.
“ hēi hēi 。 nǐ yě xiǎng dào qí zhōng de hǎo chù le ba ， yǒu yī nián de shí jiān tǐ wù ， yǐ nǐ de zī zhì jìn jí ， jiāng fēn háo nán dù yě wú 。 zhè huì shěng què nǐ wú shù kǔ xiū de gōng fu 。”
“嘿嘿。你也想到其中的好处了吧，有一年的时间体悟，以你的资质晋级，将分毫难度也无。这会省却你无数苦修的功夫。”
Gains and losses—this Xuan Tian Jujube was worth all his efforts.
tián xiǎo jiàn tīng le ， liǎn shàng yě lù chū yī lǚ xīng fèn zhī sè 。
田小剑听了，脸上也露出一缕兴奋之色。
He began counting other treasures, finding more than he had expected.
shī zhī dōng yú ， shōu zhī sāng yú 。
失之东隅，收之桑榆。
Though thrilled, this was no surprise.
zhè xuán tiān zhū guǒ rú cǐ shén qí 。 dào yě bù wǎng zì jǐ yī fān xīn kǔ 。
这玄天朱果如此神奇。倒也不枉自己一番辛苦。
"Ah, what is this?"
suí hòu tā kāi shǐ qīng diǎn qí tā de bǎo wù ， shōu huò bǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào fēng shèng 。
随后他开始清点其他的宝物，收获比想象的还要丰盛。
Suddenly, Field Sword's gaze sharpened. His expression turned curious as he held an object resembling a jade pendant in his hand—slightly smaller than a palm with tiny golden inscriptions appearing on its surface.
suī rán jīng xǐ ， dàn zhè yě suàn shì yì liào zhī zhōng dì 。
虽然惊喜，但这也算是意料之中地。
"What…?"
bù zú wéi qí 。
不足为奇。
Field Sword lowered his head and delved into his divine sense. Information about the Peach Banquet flooded him, causing his face to change: "This is actually an invitation."
“ yí ， zhè shì hé wù ？”
“咦，这是何物？”
"What? An invitation?"
tū rán ， tián xiǎo jiàn mù guāng yī níng ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì zhī sè 。
突然，田小剑目光一凝，脸上露出几分诧异之色。
"Correct, an invitation for the Peach Banquet."
cǐ shí tā shǒu zhōng ná zhe de shì yī yù pèi mú yàng de dōng xī 。
此时他手中拿着的是一玉佩模样的东西。
"You’re saying this is a real invitation for the Peach Banquet?"
bǐ bā zhǎng shāo xiǎo yī xiē ， biǎo miàn yǒu mǐ lì dà xiǎo de jīn zhuàn wén bù tíng fú xiàn ér chū ， yī kàn jiù bú shì fán wù 。
比巴掌稍小一些，表面有米粒大小的金篆文不停浮现而出，一看就不是凡物。
The Demon Lord's Grand Commander was stunned, his expression turning both surprised and delighted. "Cub, your luck truly shines; you might really get to taste peaches!"
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
"What? Peaches, Father, are you trying to fool me again?" Field Sword had been disappointed too many times; he didn’t immediately show excitement.
tián xiǎo jiàn wēi wēi dī xià tou lú ， jiāng shén shí chén rù ， yǔ pán táo huì yǒu guān de jiè shào biàn pū miàn ér lái ， suí hòu tā de liǎn sè biàn dé gǔ guài qǐ lái ：“ zhè jū rán shì yī qǐng jiǎn 。”
田小剑微微低下头颅，将神识沉入，与蟠桃会有关的介绍便扑面而来，随后他的脸色变得古怪起来：“这居然是一请柬。”
"Stupid boy, why would I deceive you? The Peach Banquet happens only once every thirty thousand years. Those invited are the most powerful figures in the Three Realms—countless great beings exchange information and treasures. Even the three divine fruits of cultivation might appear at the final auction."
“ shén me ， qǐng jiǎn ？”
“什么，请柬？”
"Really?"
“ bù cuò ， pán táo huì de qǐng jiǎn 。”
“不错，蟠桃会的请柬。”
Seeing his earnest tone, Field Sword couldn’t help but be skeptical.
“ nǐ shuō shén me ， cǐ wù dàng zhēn shì pán táo huì de qǐng jiǎn ？”
“你说什么，此物当真是蟠桃会的请柬？”
"I wouldn't deceive you; while not every Peach Banquet has it, there’s still a significant chance…"
mó zú dà tǒng lǐng yī dāi ， biǎo qíng biàn dé yòu jīng yòu xǐ le qǐ lái ：“ jiàn ér ， nǐ de yùn dào dàng zhēn bù sú ， méi xiǎng dào huì yì wài huò dé cǐ wù ， shuō bù dìng nǐ zhēn yǒu jī huì huò dé pán táo guǒ 。”
魔族大统领一呆，表情变得又惊又喜了起来：“剑儿，你的运道当真不俗，没想到会意外获得此物，说不定你真有机会获得蟠桃果。”
The Demon Lord's Grand Commander elaborated on the Peach Banquet in great detail.
“ shén me ， pán táo ， yì fù ， nǐ bú huì yòu shì zài hū yōu ， ràng wǒ kōng huān xǐ ba ！” yī zhāo bèi shé yǎo ， shí nián pà jǐng shéng ， tián xiǎo jiàn shī wàng cì shù tài duō ， zhè yī cì yě méi yǒu lì kè lù chū xīng fèn zhī sè 。
“什么，蟠桃，义父，你不会又是在忽悠，让我空欢喜吧！”一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳，田小剑失望次数太多，这一次也没有立刻露出兴奋之色。
"So this Rain Mist Business Alliance is truly formidable. Its business spans across the Three Realms and can gather so many top-tier cultivators to host such an event. The owner must be an outstanding cultivator, Father—do you know who he is?" Field Sword pondered aloud.
“ shǎ xiǎo zi ， wǒ hū yōu nǐ gàn shén me ， pán táo huì ， kě shì sān wàn nián cái zhào kāi ， yǒu zī gé dé dào yāo qǐng de ， dōu shì sān jiè zuì dǐng jí de rén wù ， dà néng shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， hù xiāng jiāo huàn xiāo xī bǎo wù ， gè zhǒng qí zhēn zhī wù shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， biàn shì xiū xiān jiè sān dà shén guǒ ， yī yàng yǒu bù xiǎo jī lǜ chū xiàn zài yā zhòu pāi mài huì shàng de 。”
“傻小子，我忽悠你干什么，蟠桃会，可是三万年才召开，有资格得到邀请的，都是三界最顶级的人物，大能数不胜数，互相交换消息宝物，各种奇珍之物数不胜数，便是修仙界三大神果，一样有不小几率出现在压轴拍卖会上的。”
"Ha, of course I do. The founder of Rain Mist Business Alliance was no ordinary figure; have you heard of Fairy Rain Tung?"
“ zhēn de jiǎ de ？”
“真的假的？”
"What? Li Yutong, the top cultivator in the Spirit Realm?"
jiàn duì fāng yán zhī záo záo ， tián xiǎo jiàn yě bù yóu de jiāng xìn jiāng yí qǐ lái le 。
见对方言之凿凿，田小剑也不由得将信将疑起来了。
Field Sword’s face showed shock as he realized this.
“ lǎo fū zěn me huì piàn nǐ ， suī rán bú shì měi cì pán táo huì shàng dōu yǒu ， dàn guī gēn jié dǐ ， hái shì yǒu bù xiǎo de jī lǜ ……”
“老夫怎么会骗你，虽然不是每次蟠桃会上都有，但归根结底，还是有不小的几率……”
Rain Tung Fairy wasn’t exactly a household name, despite her prowess.
mó zú dà tǒng lǐng shuō dào cǐ chù ， bù yàn qí fán de jiāng pán táo huì xiáng xì jiè shào le yī biàn 。
魔族大统领说到此处，不厌其烦的将蟠桃会详细介绍了一遍。
Indeed, the Three Loose Immortals and the Three Demon Kings were renowned across the Spirit Realm. However, which six powerful figures they referred to was unclear.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ ， zhè yǔ lán shāng méng hái zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， shēng yì jū rán néng gòu héng kuà sān jiè ， hái néng zhào jí zhè me duō sān jiè dǐng jí qiáng zhě ， jǔ xíng pán táo huì ， qí zhǔ rén yīng gāi shì fēi cháng liǎo bù qǐ de xiū xiān zhě ， yì fù zhī dào qí shēn fèn me ？” tián xiǎo jiàn ruò yǒu suǒ sī de kāi kǒu le 。
“原来如此，这雨岚商盟还真是非同小可，生意居然能够横跨三界，还能召集这么多三界顶级强者，举行蟠桃会，其主人应该是非常了不起的修仙者，义父知道其身份么？”田小剑若有所思的开口了。
Figures like Ten Thousand Serpent King, Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, and Guang Han True Man were well-known, but Rain Tung Fairy’s name was less familiar.
“ hēi hēi ， lǎo fū dāng rán qīng chǔ ， zhè yǔ lán shāng méng de chuàng bàn zhě ， yuán běn jiù shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě de rén wù ， yǔ tóng xiān zi de míng hào ， nǐ kě tīng guò 。”
“嘿嘿，老夫当然清楚，这雨岚商盟的创办者，原本就是非同小可的人物，雨桐仙子的名号，你可听过。”
Her strength far exceeded the other five, making her title as the top cultivator of the Spirit Realm justified. Yet, ordinary cultivators rarely heard of her name; only those at the tribulation stage knew something about her.
“ shén me ， lǐ yǔ tóng ， líng jiè dì yī gāo shǒu ？”
“什么，李雨桐，灵界第一高手？”
Field Sword had heard of her.
tián xiǎo jiàn yī dāi ， liǎn shàng lù chū cuò è de biǎo qíng lái 。
田小剑一呆，脸上露出错愕的表情来。
But Rain Tung Fairy didn’t live a reclusive life—she was actually the owner of Rain Mist Business Alliance?
yào shuō zhè yǔ tóng xiān zi ， zhēn bù néng suàn dà míng dǐng dǐng de rén wù 。
要说这雨桐仙子，真不能算大名鼎鼎的人物。
It wasn’t surprising given that such a top-tier powerhouse would be necessary for the swift growth and hosting privileges of Rain Mist Business Alliance.
"Hmph, you and me share a common fate. We've cooperated for thousands of years; when have I ever deceived you? If you don't trust me, why do you need to pry into my affairs?"
The angry voice of the Demon Lord's Grand Commander echoed in his ears.
"Father, please calm down. I just spoke out of disappointment. You are a magnanimous person who doesn’t hold grudges against petty mistakes; there’s no need for us to quarrel."
Field Sword bowed and performed a respectful gesture, his face filled with regret as he spoke sincerely.
Of course, all this was merely acting.

Small-mindedness can ruin great plans!
Field Sword wasn’t an ordinary cultivator; he had a mature mind, both in terms of strength and intellect, rivaling Lin Xuan.
A true man can adapt and bend—lowering his head now was nothing to be ashamed of.
Seeing Field Sword submit, the Demon Lord's Grand Commander’s expression softened. He wasn't truly angry but merely needed to remind Field Sword of his place.
