第三千七百一十五章 天价

“ fàng xīn ， yǐ nǐ de xiū wèi ， suī rán méi yǒu bàn fǎ qū cè zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， dàn jiāng tā dàng zuò pǔ tōng bīng qì shǐ yòng ， hái shì bàn dé dào de 。”

“放心，以你的修为，虽然没有办法驱策这件宝物，但将它当作普通兵器使用，还是办得到的。”

"Rest assured, with your cultivation level, you may not be able to command this treasure item, but using it as a regular weapon is still within your reach."

tiān xuán zūn zhě hé yán yuè sè ， xiǎn rán tā yě qīng chǔ ， qū qū yī míng shì nǚ ， miàn duì zì jǐ ， yǒu zěn yàng de yā lì 。

天璇尊者和颜悦色，显然他也清楚，区区一名侍女，面对自己，有怎样的压力。

Master Tianxuan smiled pleasantly. Clearly, he understood the pressure a mere maidservant would feel facing him.

“ wǒ ……”

“我……”

"I..."

nà shì nǚ de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī zhēng zhá zhī sè ， dàn hěn kuài ， jiù bèi jiān dìng gěi tì dài le 。

那侍女的脸上露出一丝挣扎之色，但很快，就被坚定给替代了。

The maidservant's face showed signs of struggle, but soon determination replaced them. With no point in retreating now, she hesitantly took out the Red Silk Immortal Sword.

shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， tuì suō yǐ méi yǒu yòng tú ， tā zhàn zhàn jīng jīng de jiāng hóng luó xiān jiàn qǔ guò 。

事已至此，退缩已没有用途，她战战兢兢的将红罗仙剑取过。

Holding it, it felt smooth and elegant like jade, bathed in divine essence energy that made one feel refreshed all over. She then raised her sword and slashed at the massive ice crystal iron.

wò zài shǒu lǐ ， wēn rùn rú yù ， mù yù zài xiān líng lì zhī zhōng ， ràng rén gǎn jué hún shēn shū fú ， suí hòu tā shǒu qǐ jiàn luò ， xiàng zhe nà jù dà de xuě hǎi hán jīng tiě pī kǎn guò qù le 。

握在手里，温润如玉，沐浴在仙灵力之中，让人感觉浑身舒服，随后她手起剑落，向着那巨大的雪海寒晶铁劈砍过去了。

Initially, there was some nervousness.

yuán běn xīn zhōng hái yǒu xiē tǎn tè 。

原本心中还有些忐忑。

If this failed, the Supreme Elder would surely be enraged, and her fate would be clear.

ruò shì shī bài le ， tài shàng zhǎng lǎo kěn dìng huì bó rán dà nù ， zì jǐ de xià chǎng yě jiù kě xiǎng ér zhī le 。

若是失败了，太上长老肯定会勃然大怒，自己的下场也就可想而知了。

But such worries were unnecessary. With a "sizzle" sound, the Red Silk Immortal Sword sliced through it as easily as cutting tofu, splitting the ice crystal iron into two halves.

nǎ xiǎo de ， zhè yàng de dān xīn chún shǔ duō yú ， bàn suí zhe “ cī lā ” yī shēng qīng xiǎng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， nà hóng luó xiān jiàn rú qiè dòu fǔ ， xuě hǎi hán jīng tiě bèi qīng ér yì jǔ de pǐ chéng liǎng bàn le 。

哪晓得，这样的担心纯属多余，伴随着“刺啦”一声轻响传入耳里，那红罗仙剑如切豆腐，雪海寒晶铁被轻而易举的劈成两半了。

"Sss..."

“ sī ……”

“嘶……”

A gasp of cool air filled the room.

dào xī liáng qì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。

倒吸凉气的声音传入耳朵。

The old monsters present all stared in amazement. Although they had guessed from Master Tianxuan's confidence that this treasure item was not a waste, they never expected its power to be so formidable. The once-hard ice crystal iron seemed as soft as tofu before it.

zài chǎng de lǎo guài wù wú bù chēng mù jié shé 。

在场的老怪物无不瞠目结舌。

It was hard to imagine how powerful the sword must have been when intact and how the Asura King could destroy such a treasure with his bare hands.

suī rán cóng tiān xuán zūn zhě de xiōng yǒu chéng zhú ， tā men yǐ cāi dào zhè yǐ jīng liè wén biàn bù de xiān fǔ qí zhēn bìng bú shì fèi wù 。

虽然从天璇尊者的胸有成竹，他们已猜到这已经裂纹遍布的仙府奇珍并不是废物。

Too many questions remained unanswered, but thinking about them now was pointless. Even though damaged, this treasure item's value was still astonishing. Even if it couldn't be repaired, its refinement would greatly enhance her strength.

dàn yě wàn wàn bù céng xiǎng yī jiù rú cǐ de wēi lì shí zú ， yǐ jiān yìng zhù chēng de xuě hǎi hán jīng tiě zài tā miàn qián jìng yǒu rú dòu fǔ 。

但也万万不曾想依旧如此的威力十足，以坚硬著称的雪海寒晶铁在它面前竟有如豆腐。

The opportunity must not be missed. The cultivators present were eager to bid.

nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng ， dāng nián cǐ jiàn wán hǎo zhī shí ， wēi lì shì hé děng de lí pǔ 。

难以想象，当年此剑完好之时，威力是何等的离谱。

Seeing this, Master Tianxuan smiled satisfactorily and cleared his throat. His calm voice echoed: "Red Silk Immortal Sword, passed down from a true immortal who descended, starting bid two million top-grade crystal stones. Auction begins now; each increase must be at least fifty thousand crystal stones."

ér ā xiū luó wáng chì shǒu kōng quán ， yòu shì rú hé jiāng cǐ xiān fǔ qí zhēn fěn suì diào de 。

而阿修罗王赤手空拳，又是如何将此仙府奇珍粉碎掉的。

...

tài duō tài duō de yí huò 。

太多太多的疑惑。

"Sss..."

bù guò rú jīn sī kǎo zhè xiē yě bìng méi yǒu tài dà de yì yì le 。

不过如今思考这些也并没有太大的意义了。

Another gasp filled the room as many cultivators swallowed their saliva. Although they had guessed that the item's base price would be exorbitant, it was beyond their expectations.

suī liè wén biàn bù ， dàn zhè xiān fǔ qí zhēn de jià zhí yī jiù lìng rén zé shé ， jí biàn bù néng xiū fù 。 dàn liàn huà yǐ hòu ， yě néng ràng zì jǐ de shí lì dà zēng xǔ duō 。

虽裂纹遍布，但这仙府奇珍的价值依旧令人咋舌，即便不能修复。但炼化以后，也能让自己的实力大增许多。

Two million crystal stones.

liáng jī bù róng cuò guò 。 zài chǎng de xiū xiān zhě dōu mó quán cā zhǎng qǐ lái le 。

良机不容错过。在场的修仙者都摩拳擦掌起来了。

A flawed peach of蟠桃 (Pán táo) was not much in comparison.

tiān xuán zūn zhě jiàn le ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， qīng le qīng sǎng zi , píng jìng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ hóng luó xiān jiàn ， chuán chéng zì jiàng lín de zhēn xiān ， dǐ jià liǎng bǎi wàn jí pǐn jīng shí 。 rú jīn jìng pāi kāi shǐ ， měi cì jiā jià ， bù dé shǎo yú wǔ wàn jīng shí 。”

天璇尊者见了，脸上露出满意之色，清了清嗓子,平静的声音传入耳朵：“红罗仙剑，传承自降临的真仙，底价两百万极品晶石。如今竞拍开始，每次加价，不得少于五万晶石。”

Note: This is just the base price; the final price could skyrocket after bidding.

……

……

Many hearts were already filled with reluctance. However, as the auction began, the calls for bids continued incessantly. After all, this Peach Conference gathered the top figures of the Three Realms, many of whom were wealthy and powerful.

“ sī ……”

“嘶……”

They had not competed against Lin Xuan earlier because they thought the flawed peach was a waste. But now, the treasure item from the Immortal Mansion was different; it was tangible and its power remained formidable despite the damage. It was no less than an innate treasure.

dào xī liáng qì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hěn duō xiū shì dōu tūn le yī kǒu tuò mò ， suī rán shì xiān yě cāi dào zhè jiàn bǎo wù de dǐ jià huì hěn lí pǔ ， dàn wàn wàn bù céng xiǎng huì dào zhè bān chéng dù 。

倒吸凉气的声音传入耳朵，很多修士都吞了一口唾沫，虽然事先也猜到这件宝物的底价会很离谱，但万万不曾想会到这般程度。

Such a precious item could not be missed. They must do their best to secure it.

liǎng bǎi wàn jīng shí 。

两百万晶石。

"Two hundred fifteen."

nà yǒu xiá cī de pán táo yě bù guò rú cǐ 。

那有瑕疵的蟠桃也不过如此。

"Two hundred twenty..."

zhù yì ， zhè jǐn jǐn shì dǐ jià ér yǐ 。

注意，这仅仅是底价而已。

...

jīng guò pāi mài zhēng duó ， tiān zhī dào zuì hòu jià gé huì dào hé děng chéng dù 。 bù shǎo rén xīn zhōng dōu dǎ qǐ le tuì táng gǔ 。

经过拍卖争夺，天知道最后价格会到何等程度。不少人心中都打起了退堂鼓。

In just one incense stick's time, the price climbed to three hundred.

rán ér dāng pāi mài zhēn kāi shǐ de shí hòu ， jiào jià shēng yī jiù shì yī piàn de cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， bì jìng zhè pán táo huì shàng ， jù jí le sān jiè zuì dǐng jí de rén wù ， qí zhōng zì rán yǒu hěn duō cái dà qì cū 。

然而当拍卖真开始的时候，叫价声依旧是一片的此起彼伏，毕竟这蟠桃会上，聚集了三界最顶级的人物，其中自然有很多财大气粗。

Compared to the base price, it had almost doubled. Knowing that its base price was already exorbitant, such a significant increase was astonishing.

gāng cái bù yǔ lín xuān zhēng duó ， shì yīn wèi tā men jué de ， nà yǒu xiá cī de pán táo shì jī lèi 。

刚才不与林轩争夺，是因为他们觉得，那有瑕疵的蟠桃是鸡肋。

More astonishingly, all those bidding were ordinary Transcendence Realm cultivators; none of the realm-level old monsters had spoken yet.

ér yǎn qián bù tóng ， zhè xiān fǔ qí zhēn 。 kàn dé jiàn mō dé zhe ， suī rán shāng hén biàn bù ， dàn wēi néng yī jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 jué duì bù xùn yú xiān tiān zhī wù 。

而眼前不同，这仙府奇珍。看得见摸得着，虽然伤痕遍布，但威能依旧非同小可。绝对不逊于先天之物。

Of course, they weren't uninterested but bidding now would be futile as the final price would surely exceed this amount.

zhè yàng de bǎo bèi ， qǐ néng fàng guò 。

这样的宝贝，岂能放过。

Sure enough, after three million, there was a brief pause. Then a cold voice spoke: "Five million!"

dāng rán yào jié jìn suǒ néng ， qiǎng dào zì jǐ de shǒu lǐ le 。

当然要竭尽所能，抢到自己的手里了。

Puff...

“ liǎng bǎi yī shí wǔ 。”

“两百一十五。”

This bid immediately silenced most of those who still wanted to bid. They had never seen such an increase; it seemed like crystal stones were worthless to him. A two-million increase could bankrupt a major sect.

“ liǎng bǎi èr ……”

“两百二……”

As expected, the bidder came from the Flying Immortal Mansion.

……

……

Legend had it that in previous Peach Conferences, the last treasure item was often bought by realm-level powerhouses. After all, strength and wealth usually went hand in hand.

duǎn duǎn yī zhù xiāng de gōng fu ， jià gé jiù pān shēng dào sān bǎi le 。

短短一炷香的功夫，价格就攀升到三百了。

Would this treasure item fall into their hands again?

yǔ dǐ jià xiāng bǐ ， chà bu duō shì gāo le jìn bàn hái duō ， yào zhī dào 。 qí dǐ jià yuán běn jiù hěn lí pǔ ， hái néng yǒu zhè yàng de zēng zhǎng fú dù ， jiǎn zhí lìng rén zé shé 。

与底价相比，差不多是高了近半还多，要知道。其底价原本就很离谱，还能有这样的增长幅度，简直令人咋舌。

The ordinary Transcendence Realm existences were deeply disappointed.

ér gèng lìng rén jīng chà de shì ， rú jīn chū jià de ， quán dōu shì pǔ tōng de dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， zhì yú nà xiē lǐng yù jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， yí gè gè ， dōu hái méi yǒu kāi kǒu 。

而更令人惊诧的是，如今出价的，全都是普通的渡劫期修仙者，至于那些领域级别的老怪物，一个个，都还没有开口。

Originally, they were among the top figures of the Three Realms, revered wherever they went.

tā men dāng rán bú shì bù gǎn xìng qù ， ér shì rú jīn jiào jià ， gēn běn jiù sī háo yòng tú yě wú ， zuì hòu chéng jiāo de jià gé ， jué duì yuǎn yuǎn bù zhǐ zhè diǎn de 。

他们当然不是不感兴趣，而是如今叫价，根本就丝毫用途也无，最后成交的价格，绝对远远不止这点的。

Such a setback was long forgotten, but now it hit them hard.

guǒ rán ， sān bǎi wàn zhī hòu ， chū xiàn le yī duǎn zàn de tíng dùn ， suí hòu yī bīng lěng de shēng yīn kāi kǒu le ：“ wǔ bǎi wàn ！”

果然，三百万之后，出现了一短暂的停顿，随后一冰冷的声音开口了：“五百万！”

"Humph, realm-level powerhouses are so impressive? I can also offer five million crystal stones; how about adding another million?"

pū ……

噗……

A disgruntled voice echoed as someone impulsively joined the bidding.

cǐ jià yī chū ， lì kè jiāng jué dà duō shù hái xiǎng yào chū jià jìng pāi de xiū xiān zhě gěi yē huí qù le 。

此价一出，立刻将绝大多数还想要出价竞拍的修仙者给噎回去了。

This person wasn't a realm powerhouse; just an ordinary middle-stage existence.

jiàn guò jiā jià měng de ， méi xiǎng guò shuí měng dào zhè zhǒng chéng dù ， zhēn dāng jīng shí shì fèn tǔ ， liǎng bǎi wàn de jiā jià ， zú yǐ ràng yī pǒ dà guī mó de míng mén dà pài qīng jiā dàng chǎn le 。

见过加价猛的，没想过谁猛到这种程度，真当晶石是粪土，两百万的加价，足以让一颇大规模的名门大派倾家荡产了。

Immediately, everyone's attention was drawn to him. Master Tianxuan frowned and then relaxed: "Friend, are you sure you can afford six million crystal stones? Remember, I won't hesitate to punish those who bid recklessly..."

ér bù chū suǒ liào ， zhè ge jiào jià lái zì fēi tiān dòng fǔ 。

而不出所料，这个叫价来自飞天洞府。

"This..."

chuán shuō ， wǎng jiè de pán táo huì ， yā zhòu bǎo wù ， shí yǒu ** yě shì bèi lǐng yù qiáng zhě gěi mǎi zǒu ， bì jìng yì bān qíng kuàng xià ， shí lì yǔ shēn jià ， dōu chéng zhèng bǐ 。

传说，往届的蟠桃会，压轴宝物，十有**也是被领域强者给买走，毕竟一般情况下，实力与身价，都成正比。

The bidder seemed regretful but it was too late; he could only toughen up and speak: "That... the available crystal stones don't amount to that much. But in my possession are some other treasures, if your sect is willing to trade them down, they should suffice..."

nán dào shuō ， zhè yī cì xiān fǔ qí zhēn ， yě yī yàng huì luò rù tā men de shǒu lǐ ？

难道说，这一次仙府奇珍，也一样会落入他们的手里？

His voice had become much softer, but Master Tianxuan's face showed satisfaction: "Treasures can be traded at a reduced price."

yī zhòng pǔ tōng de dù jié qī cún zài jǔ sàng yǐ jí 。

一众普通的渡劫期存在沮丧以极。

"If any of you lack top-grade crystal stones, you can use unused treasures for trading. Alchemical substances, magical artifacts, materials, and talismans are all acceptable. And our offer is fair to everyone..."

yuán běn tā men yǐ shì sān jiè dǐng jí de rén wù ， zǒu dào nǎ lǐ ， dōu shòu rén zhuī pěng ， yí zhǐ qì shǐ 。

原本他们已是三界顶级的人物，走到哪里，都受人追捧，颐指气使。

This statement rekindled the old monsters' interest. After all, with their status and power accumulated over years, each of them had plenty of useless treasures.

xiàng zhè yàng de cuò bài gǎn ， zǎo yǐ wàng huái ， rú jīn què shēn qiè tǐ yàn 。

像这样的挫败感，早已忘怀，如今却深切体验。

Exchanging for a treasure item from the Immortal Mansion would be worth it.

“ hēng ， lǐng yù qiáng zhě ， jiù hěn liǎo bù qǐ me ， wǔ bǎi wàn jīng shí ， wǒ yě ná dé chū ， běn zūn zhě zài jiā jià yì bǎi wàn rú hé ？”

“哼，领域强者，就很了不起么，五百万晶石，我也拿得出，本尊者再加价一百万如何？”

Lin Xuan sighed inwardly; the Two Elders were truly cunning. Announcing this rule at such a time was perfect timing; it could be expected that the final price would increase significantly.

yī yǒu xiē ào nǎo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yě bù zhī dào shì bú shì jiào jià de rén tóu nǎo fā rè ， jū rán yě èr huà bù shuō de jiā rù le zhēng duó 。

一有些懊恼的声音传入耳朵，也不知道是不是叫价的人头脑发热，居然也二话不说的加入了争夺。

"Six million crystal stones and more with treasures? Priceless, nine million."

cǐ rén kě bú shì shén me lǐng yù qiáng zhě ， zhǐ shì yī pǔ tōng de zhōng qī cún zài bà le 。

此人可不是什么领域强者，只是一普通的中期存在罢了。

"Humph, if you've bid so much, why not add another whole number, one million?"

dùn shí ， xī yǐn rén suǒ yǒu rén de guān zhù 。

顿时，吸引人所有人的关注。

Two voices echoed, nearly doubling the Red Silk Immortal Sword's price. The bidders were all from the Flying Immortal Mansion; realm powerhouses indeed had deep pockets.

tiān xuán zūn zhě méi tou yí zhòu ， suí hòu shū zhǎn kāi ：“ zhè wèi dào yǒu què dìng ná dé chū liù bǎi wàn jīng shí me ， yào zhī dào hú luàn jiào jià ， běn méng kě bù huì fàng guò ……”

天璇尊者眉头一皱，随后舒展开：“这位道友确定拿得出六百万晶石么，要知道胡乱叫价，本盟可不会放过……”

At this point, ordinary cultivators had given up.

“ zhè ……”

“这……”

One million was within reach for late-stage Transcendence Realm cultivators but would still bankrupt them. They might have to sell their life essence artifacts to make it work.

nà rén yī dāi ， sì hū yě yǒu xiē hòu huǐ ， chōng dòng shì mó guǐ ， dàn shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， gǎi kǒu yǐ méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， tā zhǐ yǒu yìng zhe tóu pí shuō huà le ：“ nà ge …… xiàn huò jīng shí ， dāng rán méi yǒu nà me duō ， bù guò zài xià shǒu zhōng ， hái yǒu yī xiē bǎo wù ， rú guǒ guì méng yuàn yì zhé jià de huà ， yīng gāi miǎn qiǎng gòu le ……”

那人一呆，似乎也有些后悔，冲动是魔鬼，但事已至此，改口已没有用处，他只有硬着头皮说话了：“那个……现货晶石，当然没有那么多，不过在下手中，还有一些宝物，如果贵盟愿意折价的话，应该勉强够了……”

Postscript:

cǐ rén de shēng yīn yǐ xiǎo le xǔ duō ， tiān xuán zūn zhě de liǎn shàng què lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ：“ zhé jià bǎo wù ， dāng rán yě shì kě yǐ de 。”

此人的声音已小了许多，天璇尊者的脸上却露出满意之色：“折价宝物，当然也是可以的。”

It's hot outside, why am I suddenly sick?
