虽然是世俗的东西，但只要用好了，一样可以起到良好效果，林轩做事情向来滴水不漏，虽然他已经决定要在无人的地点像憨厚青年提出购买符箓，对方看起来也是老实人，可为了以防万一，林轩还是不打算用真面目与他交易。
Although it was a mundane item, as long as it was used properly, it could still achieve good results. Lin Xuan always handled things meticulously. Although he had already decided to approach the young man in a secluded area and propose buying talismans, since the other party seemed like an honest person, Lin Xuan still did not intend to conduct the transaction with his true appearance.
zhè yì róng miàn jù kě yǐ gǎi biàn rén de yàng mào ， dāng rán ， zhè zhǒng xiǎo bǎ xì mán bù guò zhù jī qī xiū shì de shén shí ， dàn nà qīng nián yī kàn jiù shì yǔ zì jǐ de yī yàng de líng dòng qī dì zǐ ， zhǐ yào tā bù kè yì yòng fǎ shù chá kàn ， shì bù kě néng fā xiàn zì jǐ zhēn miàn mù dì 。
这易容面具可以改变人的样貌，当然，这种小把戏瞒不过筑基期修士的神识，但那青年一看就是与自己的一样的灵动期弟子，只要他不刻意用法术查看，是不可能发现自己真面目的。
This disguise mask could alter one's appearance, but such small tricks would not deceive a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's divine sense. The young man looked just like one of his flexible spirit period disciples; as long as he did not deliberately use magic to check, Lin Xuan was sure that the other party wouldn't discover his true face.
ér kè yì yòng “ xiǎn xíng shù ” guān chá duì fāng ， àn zhào xiū zhēn zhě de guī jǔ ， shì yī zhǒng hěn shī lǐ shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō yǒu dí yì de xíng wéi ， zì jǐ nǎi shàng mén de dà zhǔ gù ， xiāng xìn nà qīng nián jiù suàn zài dāi tóu dāi nǎo ， yě bú huì gàn zhè me mǎng zhuàng de chǔn shì 。
而刻意用“显形术”观察对方，按照修真者的规矩，是一种很失礼甚至可以说有敌意的行为，自己乃上门的大主顾，相信那青年就算再呆头呆脑，也不会干这么莽撞的蠢事。
Conducting an "Appearance Revealing Spell" to observe the other party would be considered a very impolite and even hostile act according to cultivator etiquette. As the main customer, Lin Xuan believed that such a foolish move would not be made by this young man, no matter how dim-witted he might seem.
xīn zhōng jiāng kě néng fā shēng de qíng jǐng yù xiǎng le yī biàn zhī hòu ， lín xuān jué de bù kě néng chū yì wài ， yě méi yǒu pò zhàn ， yú shì tā jiāng yì róng miàn jù dài shàng ， dùn shí lín xuān de yàng mào wán quán biàn le ， biàn chéng le yí gè hēi zǐ liǎn táng ， xiàng mào cū lǔ de dà hàn 。
心中将可能发生的情景预想了一遍之后，林轩觉得不可能出意外，也没有破绽，于是他将易容面具带上，顿时林轩的样貌完全变了，变成了一个黑紫脸膛，相貌粗鲁的大汉。
After mentally envisioning all possible scenarios, Lin Xuan felt there was no chance of anything going wrong. He put on the disguise mask and his appearance changed completely, turning into a burly man with a dark purple face and rough features.
rán hòu ， lín xuān yòu jiāng yí gè yuán yuán de dōng xī fàng zài shé tou xià miàn ， zhè yě shì tā zài shì sú wǔ lín gòu mǎi de ， kě yǐ gǎi biàn shēng yīn de xiǎo wù jiàn 。
然后，林轩又将一个圆圆的东西放在舌头下面，这也是他在世俗武林购买的，可以改变声音的小物件。
Then, Lin Xuan placed a small round object under his tongue, which he had purchased from the secular martial arts world; it could alter his voice.
zuò hǎo zhè yī qiè hòu ， lín xuān cóng dà shù bèi hòu chū lái ， jì xù bù jǐn bù màn de gēn zài qīng nián hòu miàn ， zǒu le dà yuē yī kè zhōng shí jiān ， lái dào le yī chù bǐ jiào huāng pì de dì diǎn 。
做好这一切后，林轩从大树背后出来，继续不紧不慢的跟在青年后面，走了大约一刻钟时间，来到了一处比较荒僻的地点。
After completing these preparations, Lin Xuan stepped out from behind the tree and continued to follow the young man at a steady pace. After about fifteen minutes, they arrived at a more secluded location.
shì shí hòu gāi xíng dòng le ！
是时候该行动了！
It was time for action!
lín xuān dǎ liàng le yī xià sì zhōu ， wú rén ， yú shì tā jiā kuài le jiǎo bù ：“ dào yǒu ， qǐng liú bù ！”
林轩打量了一下四周，无人，于是他加快了脚步：“道友，请留步！”
Lin Xuan looked around and saw no one nearby, so he sped up: "Friend, please stop!"
“ nǐ shì ……” hān hòu qīng nián huí guò tóu lái ， yǒu xiē yí huò de kàn le lín xuān yī yǎn ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jǐng tì ， chí yí zhe dào ：“ dào yǒu jiào zhù zài xià ， yǒu hé shì ？”
“你是……”憨厚青年回过头来，有些疑惑的看了林轩一眼，眼中闪过一丝警惕，迟疑着道：“道友叫住在下，有何事？”
"You are...?" The young man turned back, looking puzzled as his eyes flashed with caution. He hesitated, asking, "What does friend want?"
tā liǎn shàng jiè bèi de biǎo qíng ， lín xuān kàn dé yì qīng èr chǔ ， xīn zhōng yě wēi wēi yǒu xiē gǎn kǎi ， bié kàn zhè qīng nián yī fù dāi tóu dāi nǎo ， xīn sī què yě xì nì ， zhī dào yù jiàn mò shēng rén yào jǐng jué ， bù guò hái shì tài nèn le ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng tài míng xiǎn 。
他脸上戒备的表情，林轩看得一清二楚，心中也微微有些感慨，别看这青年一副呆头呆脑，心思却也细腻，知道遇见陌生人要警觉，不过还是太嫩了，脸上的表情太明显。
Lin Xuan could see the wary expression on the young man's face; it made him feel a bit of sympathy for this seemingly dim-witted youth who knew to be cautious around strangers but was still too inexperienced. His facial expressions were too obvious.
lín xuān wēi xiào zhe zǒu shàng qián ， gù yì jiāng duì fāng jiè bèi de biǎo qíng shì ér bù jiàn ：“ zài xià zhào gāng ， xiǎng yào mǎi xià dào yǒu de fú lù 。”
林轩微笑着走上前，故意将对方戒备的表情视而不见：“在下赵刚，想要买下道友的符箓。”
Smiling, Lin Xuan approached and pretended not to notice the other party's wary expression: "I am Zhao Gang, wanting to buy your talismans."
“ nǐ yào mǎi fú ？”
“你要买符？”
"You want to buy talismans?"
qīng nián dà xǐ ， dùn shí jiāng jǐng tì xìng pāo dào jiǔ xiāo yún wài ：“ dào yǒu zhēn yào mǎi fú ， tài hǎo le ， nǐ yào duō shǎo 。”
青年大喜，顿时将警惕性抛到九霄云外：“道友真要买符，太好了，你要多少。”
The young man was overjoyed, immediately putting aside his vigilance: "Friend really wants to buy talismans? That's great! How many do you need?"
yě nán guài tā zhè me gāo xìng ， bǎi tān sān tiān ， què yī zhāng fú yě méi yǒu mài diào ， hǎo bù róng yì yǒu le dì yī bǐ shēng yì ， xīn qíng dāng rán jī dòng ， bì jìng nián qīng rén dà duō xìng gé fú zào ， xiàng lín xuān zhè yàng wěn zhòng chéng shú de shǎo zhī yòu shǎo 。
也难怪他这么高兴，摆摊三天，却一张符也没有卖掉，好不容易有了第一笔生意，心情当然激动，毕竟年轻人大多性格浮躁，像林轩这样稳重成熟的少之又少。
It was no wonder he was so happy. He had been selling for three days without a single sale, and now he finally had his first customer. His excitement was understandable; after all, young people were usually impetuous, while Lin Xuan was one of the few who were mature and steady.
“ nǐ yǒu duō shǎo ？”
“你有多少？”
"How many do you have?"
tīng jiàn zhè jù fǎn wèn ， qīng nián xiān shì yī lèng ， jiē zhe biàn xiào dé hé bù lǒng zuǐ ：“ hē hē ， dào yǒu nán dào xū yào hěn duō ma ， wǒ shǔ shù 。”
听见这句反问，青年先是一愣，接着便笑得合不拢嘴：“呵呵，道友难道需要很多吗，我数数。”
Hearing this question, the young man paused in surprise before breaking into a wide grin: "Hehe, does friend need so many? Let me count."
shuō zhe biàn cóng huái lǐ ná chū yī dà dié fú lù ， mái tóu shù le qǐ lái ， lín xuān bù dòng shēng sè ， jì bù gāo xìng ， yě bù zháo jí ， yōu xián de zài páng biān děng le qǐ lái 。
说着便从怀里拿出一大叠符箓，埋头数了起来，林轩不动声色，既不高兴，也不着急，悠闲的在旁边等了起来。
He pulled out a stack of talismans from his pocket and began to count. Lin Xuan remained calm, neither showing excitement nor impatience, waiting leisurely.
tā zhī suǒ yǐ tiāo zhè ge dì diǎn jiào zhù qīng nián ， shì jīng guò zǐ xì sī kǎo de ， zhè tiáo lù rén hěn shǎo ， píng jūn xiǎo bàn gè shí chén cái huì yǒu rén jīng guò ， suǒ yǐ bù yòng zháo jí ， yǒu zú gòu de shí jiān 。
他之所以挑这个地点叫住青年，是经过仔细思考的，这条路人很少，平均小半个时辰才会有人经过，所以不用着急，有足够的时间。
He had chosen this location after careful consideration; few people passed by here, with only half an hour between each passerby on average. There was no rush, giving him plenty of time.
“ yī gòng yǒu yì bǎi lín bā zhāng fú 。” qīng nián hěn kuài shù wán le ：“ dào yǒu yào duō shǎo ？”
“一共有一百临八张符。”青年很快数完了：“道友要多少？”
"Altogether one hundred and eight talismans," the young man quickly counted: "How many do you want?"
“ ń ， quán yào 。”
“嗯，全要。”
"Hmm, all of them."
“ quán yào 。” qīng nián zhāng dà le zuǐ ， xǐ shàng méi shāo ， bǐ zì jǐ yù xiǎng de hái hǎo ， xǐ dào ：“ jì rán rú cǐ ， nà wǒ yě shuǎng kuài ， yuán běn shì liǎng zhāng fú yī lì xià pǐn xǐ suǐ dān ， jì rán dào yǒu mǎi nà me duō ， nà wǒ jiù biàn yí diǎn ， nǐ gěi gè zhěng shù ， wǔ shí lì dān yào jiù gòu le 。”
“全要。”青年张大了嘴，喜上眉梢，比自己预想的还好，喜道：“既然如此，那我也爽快，原本是两张符一粒下品洗髓丹，既然道友买那么多，那我就便宜点，你给个整数，五十粒丹药就够了。”
"All of them." The young man's mouth dropped open in delight. He was even happier than expected, exclaiming, "Since that is the case, I will be generous. Originally, two talismans for one lower-grade Essence Cleansing Pill. Since friend wants so many, I'll make it cheaper; just give me a whole number, fifty pills are enough."
wǔ shí ， lín xuān zài xīn zhōng mò suàn le yī xià ， gēn jù jīn tiān liǎo jiě dào de háng qíng ， zhè ge jià gé bù suàn guì ， jī běn shàng yě jiù zhì zuò fú lù de chéng běn le ， duì zì jǐ lái shuō gèng bù suàn shén me 。
五十，林轩在心中默算了一下，根据今天了解到的行情，这个价格不算贵，基本上也就制作符箓的成本了，对自己来说更不算什么。
Fifty, Lin Xuan calculated in his mind. According to today's market prices, this price was not too expensive and roughly equal to the cost of making the talismans. It wasn't much for him.
suī rán xīn zhōng tóng yì ， dàn biǎo miàn shàng ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu lì kè jiāng dān yào ná chū lái ， fǎn ér zhuāng chū yī fù ròu tòng de biǎo qíng ， chén yín liáng jiǔ ， zài qīng nián děng dé tǎn tè bù ān ， jī hū kuài chén bú zhù qì de shí hòu ， cái tàn le kǒu qì ， xiàng shì xià le mò dà jué xīn de dào ：“ āi ， shuí ràng wǒ pò qiè xū yào zhè xiē fú ， bà le ， chéng jiāo 。”
虽然心中同意，但表面上，林轩并没有立刻将丹药拿出来，反而装出一副肉痛的表情，沉吟良久，在青年等得忐忑不安，几乎快沉不住气的时候，才叹了口气，像是下了莫大决心的道：“唉，谁让我迫切需要这些符，罢了，成交。”
Although he agreed internally, Lin Xuan did not immediately take out the pills; instead, he pretended to be reluctant: "Sigh, who made me need these so badly? Fine, deal."
tīng le zhè jù huà ， qīng nián zǒng suàn sōng le kǒu qì ， liě zhe zuǐ hē hē hē de shǎ xiào 。
听了这句话，青年总算松了口气，咧着嘴呵呵呵的傻笑。
Hearing this, the young man finally relaxed and laughed foolishly.
“ āi ， zhè xiē dān yào kě shì xīn kǔ jī zǎn le shù nián ， wǒ de quán bù shēn jiā le 。” lín xuān yī biān dū nāng zhe ， yī biān cóng huái lǐ tāo chū le wǔ gè yù píng 。
“唉，这些丹药可是辛苦积攒了数年，我的全部身家了。”林轩一边嘟囔着，一边从怀里掏出了五个玉瓶。
"Sigh, these pills are all I've saved for years—my entire fortune." Lin Xuan mumbled as he pulled out five jade bottles from his pocket.
zhè yě shì lín xuān cōng míng de dì fāng ， zuò shì qíng bù yí lòu xiǎo xì jié ， bǐ rú shuō ， yí gè píng zi suī rán kě yǐ zhuāng yì bǎi lì dān yào ， dàn nà yàng tài xiǎn yǎn ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān gù yì fēn kāi le lái zhuāng ， měi gè píng zi zhuāng shí lì ， zhè yàng jiù gěi rén yī zhǒng shì xīn kǔ jī zǎn xià lái de jiǎ xiàng ， bù yǐn rén zhù yì le 。
这也是林轩聪明的地方，做事情不遗漏小细节，比如说，一个瓶子虽然可以装一百粒丹药，但那样太显眼，所以林轩故意分开了来装，每个瓶子装十粒，这样就给人一种是辛苦积攒下来的假象，不引人注意了。
This was a smart move by Lin Xuan. He paid attention to small details; while one bottle could hold a hundred pills, that would be too obvious. So, Lin Xuan deliberately divided the pills into smaller bottles, each containing ten, creating an illusion of hard-earned savings and avoiding drawing attention.
yī shǒu jiāo qián yī shǒu jiāo huò ， qīng nián xǐ zī zī de jiē guò dān yào ， lín xuān yě kāi shǐ qīng diǎn fú lù ， méi yǒu cuò ， lín xuān bù xiǎng zài dān gē ：“ zhào mǒu gào cí le 。”
一手交钱一手交货，青年喜滋滋的接过丹药，林轩也开始清点符箓，没有错，林轩不想再耽搁：“赵某告辞了。”
Handing over the money and goods, the young man happily took the pills, and Lin Xuan began to count the talismans. There were no mistakes; he did not want to waste any more time: "Farewell, Mr. Zhao."
“ dào yǒu zǒu hǎo 。” qīng nián yě bào quán dào ， zhè yī cì jiāo yì ， jiē dà huān xǐ 。
“道友走好。”青年也抱拳道，这一次交易，皆大欢喜。
"Friend have a good journey," the young man said with a bow. This transaction was mutually beneficial.
huí dào yì guǎn ， chī le wǔ fàn ， lín xuān yòng shēn fèn yāo pái pò chú jìn zhì ， huí dào zì jǐ de fáng jiān ， jīn tiān shàng wǔ de shōu huò hěn fēng fù ， zhè yì bǎi líng bā zhāng fú lù ， suī rán shì jī lèi ， dàn guì zài shù liàng zhòng duō ， yǒu le tā men ， zì jǐ de shí lì yòu zēng qiáng le nà me yī fēn le 。
回到驿馆，吃了午饭，林轩用身份腰牌破除禁制，回到自己的房间，今天上午的收获很丰富，这一百零八章符箓，虽然是鸡肋，但贵在数量众多，有了它们，自己的实力又增强了那么一分了。
Returning to the inn for lunch, Lin Xuan used his identity badge to break through the restrictions and returned to his room. Today's morning收获 was rich; these one hundred and eight talismans might be useless, but their quantity was valuable. With them, his strength had increased by a small margin.
háng qíng yě liǎo jiě qīng chǔ ， gè zhǒng xiū zhēn wù pǐn de jià gé jī běn shàng zuò dào le xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， duì yú míng tiān shōu gòu zhōng jí gōng fǎ ， yòu duō le jǐ fēn bǎ wò 。
行情也了解清楚，各种修真物品的价格基本上做到了心中有数，对于明天收购中级功法，又多了几分把握。
He also understood the market prices of various cultivator items, giving him more confidence for tomorrow's acquisition of intermediate cultivation techniques.
bù ， zì jǐ shì zhì zài bì děi ！
不，自己是志在必得！
No, he was determined to succeed!
lín xuān tǎng zài chuáng shàng ， xiū xī le yī huì er ， suàn suàn shí jiān ， xiū zhēn zhě men yīng gāi dōu yǐ jīng chī wán ， xià wǔ de jí shì kāi luó le ， zài qù guàng yī guàng ， fǎn zhèng dài zài wū zi lǐ yě shì wú liáo ， kàn shì fǒu hái néng táo dào shén me yǒu yòng de bǎo 。
林轩躺在床上，休息了一会儿，算算时间，修真者们应该都已经吃完，下午的集市开锣了，再去逛一逛，反正待在屋子里也是无聊，看是否还能淘到什么有用的宝。
Lin Xuan lay down on the bed and rested for a while. Calculating the time, most cultivators should have finished their meals; the afternoon market had started. He decided to go around again since sitting idly in his room was boring and see if he could find something useful.
huái zhe zhè zhǒng xiǎng fǎ ， lín xuān yòu lái dào le guǎng chǎng ， cǐ shí xiǎn de gèng rè nào ， rén shù jìn yí bù zēng jiā ， kàn lái suí zhe bǎo wù jiāo yì huì de lín jìn ， yǐ jīng yǒu yuè lái yuè duō de xiū zhēn zhě gǎn dào 。
怀着这种想法，林轩又来到了广场，此时显得更热闹，人数进一步增加，看来随着宝物交易会的临近，已经有越来越多的修真者赶到。
With this thought, Lin Xuan returned to the square, which now seemed even busier with more people. As the treasure exchange event approached, more and more cultivators were arriving.
jiào mài suī rán rè nào ， dàn duì yú lín xuān lái shuō ， yǒu yòng de dōng xī bìng bù duō ， tā suī rán jǐn jǐn shì líng dòng zhōng qī de xiū zhēn zhě ， kě lùn shēn jiā ， bǐ dà bù fèn zhù jī qī de xiū shì hái yào fēng hòu ， děng xián de dōng xī ， dāng rán bù rù tā de yǎn le 。
叫卖虽然热闹，但对于林轩来说，有用的东西并不多，他虽然仅仅是灵动中期的修真者，可论身家，比大部分筑基期的修士还要丰厚，等闲的东西，当然不入他的眼了。
Although the calls for sales were lively, there wasn't much of interest to Lin Xuan. Although he was only in the middle stage of Flexible Spirit Period, his wealth far exceeded that of most Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, so ordinary items did not catch his eye.
dāng rán ， yě bú shì quán wú shōu huò ， guàng le zhěng zhěng yí gè xià wǔ ， lín xuān hái shì mǎi le yì diǎn dōng xī ， jīng shí 。
当然，也不是全无收获，逛了整整一个下午，林轩还是买了一点东西，晶石。
However, he did find some useful things. After a whole afternoon of browsing, Lin Xuan bought two water attribute crystals. These stones contained abundant primordial energy and were widely used in cultivation, crafting, and combat, but they rarely appeared in the hands of low-ranking cultivators.
dāng zài tān diǎn shàng kàn jiàn shí ， lín xuān zhēn de yǒu xiē yì wài ， bì jìng zhè zhǒng yùn hán yǒu fēng fù tiān dì líng qì de shí tou ， zuò yòng jí dà ， liàn gōng 、 zhì qì 、 dòu fǎ dōu yòng mò dà yòng tú ， yì bān hěn shǎo chū xiàn zài dī jiē xiū shì de shǒu lǐ 。
当在摊点上看见时，林轩真的有些意外，毕竟这种蕴含有丰富天地灵气的石头，作用极大，练功、制器、斗法都用莫大用途，一般很少出现在低阶修士的手里。
Seeing these two water crystals, Lin Xuan immediately purchased them and put them away.
Although it was a mundane item, as long as it was used properly, it could still achieve good results. Lin Xuan always handled things meticulously. Although he had already decided to approach the young man in a secluded area and propose buying talismans, since the other party seemed like an honest person, Lin Xuan still did not intend to conduct the transaction with his true appearance.
