huàn jù huà shuō ， tā yǔ lín xuān de qíng xíng xiāng chà fǎng fú 。【 zuì xīn zhāng jié yuè dú 】
换句话说，他与林轩的情形相差仿佛。【最新章节阅读】
In other words, his situation was not much different from Lin Xuan's. [Latest Chapter Reading]
yuán běn zài jiāo huàn huì gāng gāng kāi shǐ de yī duàn shí jiān ， yě què shí xún dào le yī xiē jí xū de bǎo wù 。
原本在交换会刚刚开始的一段时间，也确实寻到了一些急需的宝物。
At the beginning of the exchange fair, he had indeed found some urgently needed treasures.
suī rán jià gé hěn lí pǔ ， dàn duì yú tián xiǎo jiàn gēn běn jiù suàn bù liǎo shén me 。
虽然价格很离谱，但对于田小剑根本就算不了什么。
Although the prices were outrageous, it didn't matter to Tian Xiaojian at all. After all, his cultivation experience over these years was rich, and he had also obtained the treasure from the Demon Overlord of the demon tribe. His wealth far exceeded that of ordinary domain experts.
bì jìng tā zhè xiē nián de xiū xiān jīng lì yě hěn fēng fù ， ér qiě hái dé dào le mó zú dà tǒng lǐng de bǎo zàng ， shēn jiā zhī fēng hòu ， yuǎn chāo pǔ tōng de lǐng yù qiáng zhě 。
毕竟他这些年的修仙经历也很丰富，而且还得到了魔族大统领的宝藏，身家之丰厚，远超普通的领域强者。
With a bountiful harvest, Tian Xiaojian was still in high spirits. He could advance to the Tribulation Transcending Stage sooner.
yǒu bù fēi de shōu huò ， tián xiǎo jiàn hái shì xǐ zī zī de 。
有不菲的收获，田小剑还是喜滋滋的。
The idea sounded good, but reality turned out to be quite fantastical.
zhè yàng zì jǐ jiù néng kuài diǎn jìn jiē dào dù jié qī le 。
这样自己就能快点进阶到渡劫期了。
In the Immortal Pool Holy Land, domainexternal heavenly demon actually infiltrated, and not just one; they had killed several cultivators attending the Peach Banquet.
xiǎng fǎ bù cuò ， rán ér xiàn shí què shì hěn qí huàn de 。
想法不错，然而现实却是很奇幻的。
Tian Xiaojian was lucky. He didn't encounter any domainexternal heavenly demon in his first few moments there.
yáo chí shèng dì ， jū rán hùn jìn le yù wài tiān mó ， ér qiě yuǎn bù zhǐ yí gè ， shā xiàng le zài zhè lǐ cān jiā pán táo huì de xiū xiān zhě 。
瑶池圣地，居然混进了域外天魔，而且远不止一个，杀像了在这里参加蟠桃会的修仙者。
Given his personality, he naturally wouldn't go out of his way to provoke trouble.
tián xiǎo jiàn yùn qì bù cuò ， dì yī shí jiān bìng méi yǒu yù shàng yù wài tiān mó 。
田小剑运气不错，第一时间并没有遇上域外天魔。
So Tian Xiaojian chose to observe from a distance.
yǐ tā de xìng gé ， zì rán bú huì qù zhǔ dòng zhāo rě má fán shén me 。
以他的性格，自然不会去主动招惹麻烦什么。
He quietly retreated to one side.
yú shì tián xiǎo jiàn xuǎn zé le lěng yǎn páng guān 。
于是田小剑选择了冷眼旁观。
Of course, he wasn't going to take advantage of the chaos for a small gain and offend the Rain Mist Business Alliance.
qiǎo rán tuì dào le yī biān 。
悄然退到了一边。
In such circumstances, it was wiser to look after himself. He wondered if this unexpected turn would affect the upcoming auction.
dāng rán ， tā yě méi yǒu hún shuǐ mō yú ， wèi yì diǎn yíng tóu xiǎo lì ， dé zuì yǔ lán shāng méng shì hěn huá bù lái dì 。
当然，他也没有浑水摸鱼，为一点蝇头小利，得罪雨岚商盟是很划不来地。
Tian Xiaojian still looked forward to the immortal peach fruit.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， míng zhé bǎo shēn shì zuì cōng míng bù guò ， jiù bù zhī dào chū xiàn zhè yàng de biàn gù ， jiē xià lái de pāi mài huì shì fǒu néng shùn lì jǔ xíng le 。
这种情况下，明哲保身是最聪明不过，就不知道出现这样的变故，接下来的拍卖会是否能顺利举行了。
But now that things had reached this point, he could only wait and see what happened.
tián xiǎo jiàn hái qī dài zhe pán táo shèng guǒ 。
田小剑还期待着蟠桃圣果。
He felt a bit resentful and anxious. At this moment, the voice of the Demon Overlord rang in his ears.
dàn shì yǐ zhì cǐ yě wéi yǒu jìng guān qí biàn le 。
但事已至此也唯有静观其变了。
"Jiannv, why are you standing there? This is a golden opportunity given by heaven; hurry up and follow me out of here."
tā xīn zhōng hái shì yǒu yì diǎn ào nǎo tǎn tè ， ér jiù zài zhè shí ， mó zú dà tǒng lǐng de shēng yīn chuán rù le ěr duǒ 。
他心中还是有一点懊恼忐忑，而就在这时，魔族大统领的声音传入了耳朵。
"Where to?"
“ jiàn ér ， nǐ hái lèng zài zhè lǐ zuò shén me ， rú jīn kě shì tiān cì liáng jī ， kuài diǎn suí wǒ lí kāi zhè lǐ 。”
“剑儿，你还愣在这里做什么，如今可是天赐良机，快点随我离开这里。”
Tian Xiaojian was taken aback and hurriedly used mental communication.
“ lí kāi zhè lǐ ， dào nǎ ér qù ？”
“离开这里，到哪儿去？”
"Of course, to find the immortal peach fruit."
tián xiǎo jiàn yī lèng ， máng yòng shén niàn chuán yīn guò qù 。
田小剑一愣，忙用神念传音过去。
"What. Find the immortal peach fruit? Father, did I hear you correctly? Where can we find it?" Tian Xiaojian was stunned.
“ dāng rán shì qù xún zhǎo pán táo shèng guǒ 。”
“当然是去寻找蟠桃圣果。”
The Demon Overlord chuckled.
“ shén me 。 xún zhǎo pán táo shèng guǒ ， yì fù ， wǒ méi yǒu tīng cuò ， dào nǎ ér qù zhǎo ne ？” tián xiǎo jiàn yī lèng yī lèng de 。
“什么。寻找蟠桃圣果，义父，我没有听错，到哪儿去找呢？”田小剑一愣一愣的。
"Stupid boy. You're so smart in daily life; why are you being foolish now?"
“ shǎ xiǎo zi 。 píng rì lǐ kàn nǐ cōng míng wú bǐ ， zěn me guān jiàn shí kè ， què fàn qǐ hún lái le ？”
“傻小子。平日里看你聪明无比，怎么关键时刻，却犯起浑来了？”
"Please explain further!" Tian Xiaojian adopted a humble and eager-to-learn expression. After all, his relationship with the Demon Overlord was one of shared interests—his gains were his gains, and his losses were his losses.
mó zú dà tǒng lǐng yǎ rán shī xiào qǐ lái le 。
魔族大统领哑然失笑起来了。
"All right, let's get to the point. Jiannv, where do you think the immortal peach fruit comes from?"
“ hái qǐng yì fù xiáng shuō ！”
“还请义父详说！”
"It... naturally, it grows on a peach tree."
tián xiǎo jiàn yě bǎi chū yī fù xū xīn qiú jiào de shén sè ， bì jìng tā yǔ mó zú dà tǒng lǐng de guān xì 。 shì yī róng jù róng ， yī sǔn jù sǔn de ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， duì fāng dōu bù kě néng kēng zì jǐ 。
田小剑也摆出一副虚心求教的神色，毕竟他与魔族大统领的关系。是一荣俱荣，一损俱损的，于情于理，对方都不可能坑自己。
"Then where is that peach tree?"
“ hǎo ba ， cháng huà duǎn shuō ， jiàn ér ， nǐ dāng zhè pán táo shèng guǒ ， shì cóng nǎ lǐ lái de ？”
“好吧，长话短说，剑儿，你当这蟠桃圣果，是从哪里来的？”
"..." Tian Xiaojian fell into thought but quickly added: "Father, if what you say is true, then this peach tree must be in Immortal Pool."
“ zhè …… zì rán shì pán táo shù shàng jié de 。”
“这……自然是蟠桃树上结的。”
"Not bad. You're teachable."
“ nà pán táo shù yòu zài nǎ lǐ ne ？”
“那蟠桃树又在哪里呢？”
The Demon Overlord's face showed satisfaction. "You're right; it's in Immortal Pool. Now that things are chaotic here and Li Yutong has disappeared, you might as well take advantage of the chaos instead of waiting for the auction."
“ zhè ……” tián xiǎo jiàn xiàn rù le sī suǒ ， dàn hěn jiā yòu kāi kǒu le ：“ tīng yì fù de kǒu qì 。 nán dào zhè pán táo shù 。 jiù zài yáo chí 。”
“这……”田小剑陷入了思索，但很加又开口了：“听义父的口气。难道这蟠桃树。就在瑶池。”
"..."
“ bù cuò 。 rú zǐ kě jiào yě 。”
“不错。孺子可教也。”
Tian Xiaojian was immediately hesitant. Indeed, the prospect painted by the Demon Overlord was tempting, but he needed to consider how feasible it was before risking everything.
mó zú dà tǒng lǐng liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī mǎn yì zhī sè ：“ nǐ suǒ yán méi cuò ， jiù zài yáo chí ， rú jīn zhè ér hùn luàn wú bǐ 。 lǐ yǔ tóng yòu bú jiàn zōng jì ， nǐ yǔ qí kǔ děng pāi mài huì 。 hái bù rú chèn luàn yī bó 。”
魔族大统领脸上露出一丝满意之色：“你所言没错，就在瑶池，如今这儿混乱无比。李雨桐又不见踪迹，你与其苦等拍卖会。还不如趁乱一搏。”
"Father, even if there are domainexternal heavenly demon causing trouble here, this chaos is only temporary. Those who dare to stir up trouble in Immortal Pool are seeking their own death. Am I too rash going out to find the peach tree now?"
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
"I don't know where the peach tree is, but such a precious treasure wouldn't be left unprotected by Fairy Yutong. There must be countless restrictions and guards. If I can't get the treasure, I might end up trapped there."
tián xiǎo jiàn dùn shí xiàn rù le chí yí ， méi cuò ， mó zú dà tǒng lǐng miáo huì de qián jǐng shì hěn yòu rén dì ， dàn tā hái xū yào kǎo lǜ ， jiū jìng yǒu jǐ chéng de kě xíng xìng ， bié tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ 。
田小剑顿时陷入了迟疑，没错，魔族大统领描绘的前景是很诱人地，但他还需要考虑，究竟有几成的可行性，别偷鸡不成蚀把米。
"You're overcautious. It's either boldness with careful planning or being overly fearful. Since I told you to find the immortal peach fruit, I wouldn't have overlooked these details."
“ yì fù ， jiù suàn zhè ér yǒu yù wài tiān mó dǎo luàn ， dàn hùn luàn yě zhǐ shì yī shí ， gǎn lái yáo chí shēng shì ， guī gēn jié dǐ shì zài zhǎo sǐ ， wǒ xiàn zài qù xún zhǎo pán táo shù ， shì bú shì tài mào shī 。”
“义父，就算这儿有域外天魔捣乱，但混乱也只是一时，敢来瑶池生事，归根结底是在找死，我现在去寻找蟠桃树，是不是太冒失。”
"Correct. Approaching the peach tree is extremely dangerous under normal circumstances, but now it's the right time. As for where the peach tree is, don't forget that in my previous life, I was the Demon Overlord. This Immortal Pool Holy Land isn't a place I haven't been to; how could I not know?"
“ qiě bù shuō wǒ gēn běn jiù bù zhī dào pán táo shù zài hé dì ， zhè zhǒng děng jí de bǎo wù ， yǔ tóng xiān zi qǐ huì bù kān hù yán shí ， gè zhǒng jìn zhì kěn dìng shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， shǒu wèi sēn yán yǐ jí ， wǒ bié méi dé dào bǎo wù ， fǎn ér xiàn luò yú nà lǐ 。”
“且不说我根本就不知道蟠桃树在何地，这种等级的宝物，雨桐仙子岂会不看护严实，各种禁制肯定是数不胜数，守卫森严以极，我别没得到宝物，反而陷落于那里。”
"Those restrictions and guards are indeed formidable, but breaking them isn't impossible. Of course, it depends on luck, but if you follow my instructions, you have at least a fifty percent chance of success. Even if you can't get the peach fruit, returning safely without being discovered is always possible."
“ nǐ zhè xiǎo zi ， shén me dōu hǎo ， jiù shì tài guò jǐn shèn le xiē ， shuō hǎo tīng diǎn shì dǎn dà xīn xì ， shuō nán tīng diǎn jiù shì wèi shǒu wèi wěi le xiē ， lǎo fū jì rán ràng nǐ qù xún zhǎo pán táo shèng guǒ ， zhè xiē xì jié qǐ huì méi yǒu kǎo lǜ 。”
“你这小子，什么都好，就是太过谨慎了些，说好听点是胆大心细，说难听点就是畏首畏尾了些，老夫既然让你去寻找蟠桃圣果，这些细节岂会没有考虑。”
"..."
“ méi cuò ， píng shí xiǎng yào jiē jìn pán táo shù shì qiān nán wàn xiǎn ， dàn xiàn zài ， què zhèng shì shí jī ， zhì yú pán táo shù zài nǎ lǐ ， nǐ bié wàng le ， lǎo fū qián shì ， kě shì mó zú dà tǒng lǐng ， zhè yáo chí shèng dì ， yòu bú shì méi yǒu lái guò ， qǐ huì bù xiǎo de ？”
“没错，平时想要接近蟠桃树是千难万险，但现在，却正是时机，至于蟠桃树在哪里，你别忘了，老夫前世，可是魔族大统领，这瑶池圣地，又不是没有来过，岂会不晓得？”
The Demon Overlord's persuasive words didn't sway Tian Xiaojian. Given his nature, he liked to make decisions on his own and wasn't easily swayed.
“ nà xiē jìn zhì shǒu wèi ， què rán nán chán ， dàn xiǎng yào jiāng tā men pò chú ， yě bìng bú shì méi yǒu bàn fǎ de ， dāng rán ， hái yào kàn yùn qì rú hé ， dàn nǐ zhǐ yào tīng cóng wǒ de fēn fù ， zhì shǎo yǒu wǔ chéng de bǎ wò ， tuì yī wàn bù shuō ， jiù suàn bù néng dé dào pán táo shèng guǒ ， píng ān fǎn huí zhè lǐ ér bù bèi fā xiàn ， zǒng shì kě yǐ zuò dào de 。”
“那些禁制守卫，确然难缠，但想要将他们破除，也并不是没有办法的，当然，还要看运气如何，但你只要听从我的吩咐，至少有五成的把握，退一万步说，就算不能得到蟠桃圣果，平安返回这里而不被发现，总是可以做到的。”
"Why are you still hesitating? I've already assured you that I won't harm you. Besides, if you don't go find the peach tree, do you think you can secure it at the auction?"
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
"You might not succeed; immortal peaches rarely appear in auctions, even during the Peach Festival. Even if they did appear this time, would you be certain of securing them? Although you've inherited my treasure and are wealthy, these old monsters have lived for millions of years. Ordinary domain experts aside, even Immortal Kings, True Demons, or Primordial Beasts like Naelong could outmatch you in wealth."
duì fāng shuō dé tiān huā luàn zhuì ， tián xiǎo jiàn què yī jiù zài chí yí ， yǐ tā de xìng gé ， fán shì dōu xǐ huān zì jǐ ná zhǔ yì ， kě bú shì nà me róng yì bèi hū yōu dì 。
对方说得天花乱坠，田小剑却依旧在迟疑，以他的性格，凡事都喜欢自己拿主意，可不是那么容易被忽悠地。
"Jiannv, after all this trouble to get here, would you rather miss the immortal peach fruit?"
“ nǐ hái zài dān xīn shén me ， lǎo fū yǐ jīng xiàng nǐ bǎo zhèng guò ， nán dào nǐ dān xīn lǎo fū huì hài nǐ ， zài shuō ， nǐ bù qù xún zhǎo pán táo shù ， jiù yí dìng yǒu bǎ wò ， zài pāi mài huì shàng ， xún zhǎo dào pán táo me ？”
“你还在担心什么，老夫已经像你保证过，难道你担心老夫会害你，再说，你不去寻找蟠桃树，就一定有把握，在拍卖会上，寻找到蟠桃么？”
"All right, I'll go with you."
“ zhǐ pà wèi bì ， yào zhī dào pán táo zhè zhǒng dōng xī ， shì hěn nán zài pāi mài huì shàng chū xiàn dì ， jí biàn shì pán táo shèng diǎn ， jī huì yì bù duō ， tuì yī wàn bù shuō ， zhè yī cì dàng zhēn chū xiàn le ， nà yòu rú hé ， nǐ jiù yí dìng yǒu bǎ wò ， pāi mài dào shǒu me ， nǐ suī rán dé dào le lǎo fū yí liú xià lái de bǎo zàng ， shēn jiā bù sú ， dàn yǎn qián zhè xiē lǎo guài wù ， nǎ yí gè bú shì huó le shù bǎi wàn nián zhī jiǔ de ， pǔ tōng lǐng yù qiáng zhě qiě bù tí ， sàn xiān yāo wáng ， zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， huò zhě xiàng nài lóng nà yàng de cún zài ， bǐ cái fù ， nǐ gēn běn jiù sī háo shèng suàn yě wú 。”
“只怕未必，要知道蟠桃这种东西，是很难在拍卖会上出现地，即便是蟠桃盛典，机会亦不多，退一万步说，这一次当真出现了，那又如何，你就一定有把握，拍卖到手么，你虽然得到了老夫遗留下来的宝藏，身家不俗，但眼前这些老怪物，哪一个不是活了数百万年之久的，普通领域强者且不提，散仙妖王，真魔始祖，或者像鼐龙那样的存在，比财富，你根本就丝毫胜算也无。”
Tian Xiaojian's eyes flashed with determination. He finally looked resolute.
“ jiàn ér ， hǎo bù róng yì lái dào zhè lǐ ， nán dào nǐ yuàn yì yǔ pán táo shī zhī jiāo bì ？”
“剑儿，好不容易来到这里，难道你愿意与蟠桃失之交臂？”
Firstly, what the Demon Overlord said was correct; secondly, he wasn't a coward. The principle of seeking wealth in danger was something he understood well.
“ hǎo ba ， wǒ gēn nǐ qù 。”
“好吧，我跟你去。”
Most importantly, he knew that the Demon Overlord wouldn't betray him.
tián xiǎo jiàn yǎn zhōng yì máng shǎn shuò ， biǎo qíng zhōng yú biàn dé jiān dìng qǐ lái le 。
田小剑眼中异芒闪烁，表情终于变得坚定起来了。
With this confidence, he decided to take a risk.
yī lái ， mó zú dà tǒng lǐng shuō dé què rán méi cuò ， èr lái ， tā yě bú shì dǎn xiǎo pà shì de xiū xiān zhě ， fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú de dào lǐ ， yí xiàng shì xīn zhōng yǒu shù 。
一来，魔族大统领说得确然没错，二来，他也不是胆小怕事的修仙者，富贵险中求的道理，一向是心中有数。
"Jiannv, making such a choice is best. Otherwise, I would be utterly disappointed in you," the Demon Overlord's chuckling voice echoed, his face showing extreme satisfaction: "We shouldn't waste time; let's leave here immediately. We can only get the peach fruit from the fire. If we wait until these domainexternal heavenly demon are eliminated, taking advantage of the chaos will become a distant dream."
dāng rán ， zuì zhòng yào de yì diǎn ， shì tā zhī dào wú lùn rú hé ， mó zú dà tǒng lǐng yě bú huì kēng zì jǐ 。
当然，最重要的一点，是他知道无论如何，魔族大统领也不会坑自己。
"Agreed!"
zhèng yīn wèi yǒu zhè yàng de dǐ qì ， suǒ yǐ tā cái jué dìng mào xiǎn yī bó 。
正因为有这样的底气，所以他才决定冒险一搏。
Tian Xiaojian was also a resolute cultivator who wouldn't hesitate after making a decision. He used concealment and energy conservation techniques to quietly leave the valley during the chaos.
“ jiàn ér ， nǐ néng zuò chū zhè yàng de xuǎn zé shì zuì hǎo bù guò ， fǒu zé ， lǎo fū zhēn yào duì nǐ shī wàng tòu dǐng le 。” mó zú dà tǒng lǐng hē hē de xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì yǐ jí de shén sè ：“ shì bù yí chí ， wǒ men jiù dòng shēn lí kāi zhè lǐ ， huǒ zhōng cái kě yǐ qǔ lì ， ruò shì děng zhè xiē yù wài tiān mó bèi miè chú ， xiǎng yào hún shuǐ mō yú kě jiù chéng le shē wàng yì bān de dōng xī 。”
“剑儿，你能做出这样的选择是最好不过，否则，老夫真要对你失望透顶了。”魔族大统领呵呵的笑声传入耳朵，脸上露出满意以极的神色：“事不宜迟，我们就动身离开这里，火中才可以取栗，若是等这些域外天魔被灭除，想要浑水摸鱼可就成了奢望一般的东西。”
...
“ hǎo ！”
“好！”
No one noticed. On the other side,
tián xiǎo jiàn yì shì gāng yì guǒ jué de xiū xiān zhě ， zuò xià jué dìng jiù bú huì chí yí shén me ， shī zhǎn yǐn nì liǎn qì zhī shù ， chèn zhe hùn luàn ， qiǎo rán cóng shān gǔ lǐ lí kāi le 。
田小剑亦是刚毅果决的修仙者，做下决定就不会迟疑什么，施展隐匿敛气之术，趁着混乱，悄然从山谷里离开了。
The battle was intense.
……
……
Wujiao Wang and Fairy Yutong both opened their domains, but not continuously. Doing so would consume too much mana; no one would be that foolish.
méi yǒu rén fā xiàn ， zài shuō lìng yī biān 。
没有人发现，再说另一边。
As the top experts in the spirit realm, they used their domains to perfection—deploying them only when necessary for attack, defense, or movement, maximizing their effectiveness while conserving mana.
dòu fǎ yì shì jī liè dào le jí diǎn 。
斗法亦是激烈到了极点。
Details determined success or failure. This was evident from both of their exceptional abilities. RL

In other words, his situation was not much different from Lin Xuan's. [Latest Chapter Reading]
At the beginning of the exchange fair, he had indeed found some urgently needed treasures.
Although the prices were outrageous, it didn't matter to Tian Xiaojian at all. After all, his cultivation experience over these years was rich, and he had also obtained the treasure from the Demon Overlord of the demon tribe. His wealth far exceeded that of ordinary domain experts.
With a bountiful harvest, Tian Xiaojian was still in high spirits. He could advance to the Tribulation Transcending Stage sooner.
The idea sounded good, but reality turned out to be quite fantastical.
In the Immortal Pool Holy Land, domainexternal heavenly demon actually infiltrated, and not just one; they had killed several cultivators attending the Peach Banquet.

"Where to?"
