yī shí jiān , jìng pāi de shēng yīn cǐ qǐ bǐ fú , ér zhè yī cì cān yù chū jià de xiū xiān zhě , wú yī bú shì sān jiè zuì dǐng jí de rén wù .
一时间,竞拍的声音此起彼伏,而这一次参与出价的修仙者,无一不是三界最顶级的人物.
The bidding sounds echoed through the hall as participants vied for the auctioned items. This time, all the bidders were among the top figures in the Three Realms: Immortal Wraiths, True Demons, and Great Daoists like Master Nai Long and Immortal Fairy Tian Jue.
sàn xiān yāo wáng , zhēn mó shǐ zǔ , yǐ jí nài lóng zhēn rén , tiān jué xiān zi zhè yàng gōng rèn de zuì jué dǐng de rén wù .
散仙妖王,真魔始祖,以及鼐龙真人,天绝仙子这样公认的最绝顶的人物.
After a moment, three powerful figures from the Underworld Realm also joined the bidding, with their offers soaring to absurd heights. The Golden Jade Corpse King, Sky-Doomed Bright King, and Dark King of the Underworld outbid each other in a manner that left ordinary cultivators speechless.
yòu guò piàn kè , sān wèi lái zì yīn sī jiè de qiáng zhě yě jiā rù le zhēng duó .
又过片刻,三位来自阴司界的强者也加入了争夺.
Ordinary cultivators had long stopped speaking; even those who were domain masters, usually haughty, now wore expressions of shock. It was known that domains were rare but there were clear differences between them. While Immortal Wraiths and True Demons could be formidable opponents, the best choice at this moment was to observe quietly.
jīn yuè shī wáng , tiān shā míng wáng , yōu míng àn wáng , yí gè chū de jià gé bǐ lìng yí gè lí pǔ .
金玥尸王,天煞明王,幽冥暗王,一个出的价格比另一个离谱.
Even in a bidding war, one might not necessarily win.
pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě zǎo yǐ bì zuǐ bù yán le , qí shí bié shuō yì bān de dù jié qī , biàn shì nà xiē yǎn gāo yú dǐng de lǐng yù qiáng zhě , cǐ shí yě yī liǎn de hài rán zhī sè .
普通的修仙者早已闭嘴不言了,其实别说一般的渡劫期,便是那些眼高于顶的领域强者,此时也一脸的骇然之色.
In just a short while, the price of the Chaos Stone had climbed to thirty billion crystals.
xū zhī lǐng yù gù rán nán dé , dàn bǐ cǐ zhī jiān yě shì yǒu míng xiǎn chā jù de .
须知领域固然难得,但彼此之间也是有明显差距的.
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly. He had been tempted by the item but hesitated over whether to bid. Now that he was faced with such competition, he no longer needed to make difficult decisions.
sàn xiān gù rán rě bù qǐ , zhēn mó shǐ zǔ , yě néng ràng tā men hún fēi pò sàn le qù , zhè shí hòu lěng yǎn páng guān jiù shì zuì hǎo de xuǎn zé .
散仙固然惹不起,真魔始祖,也能让他们魂飞魄散了去,这时候冷眼旁观就是最好的选择.
Thirty billion crystals were beyond his means even if he sold some treasures; it was clear how insignificant his wealth truly was compared to these top-tier figures.
xū zhī jiù suàn shì zhēng , yě bù yí dìng zhēng de guò .
须知就算是争,也不一定争得过.
Lin Xuan's sighs turned into gratitude as he realized that winning the last two items in this auction was a stroke of luck. The top-tier cultivators showed no interest, making the outcome uncertain otherwise.
……
……
With his mind at peace, Lin Xuan’s small disappointment vanished. However, the unexpected twist occurred during the auction…
duǎn duǎn yī xiǎo huì er de gōng fu , hùn dùn zhī shí de jià gé jiù pān shēng dào sān shí yì le .
短短一小会儿的功夫,混沌之石的价格就攀升到三十亿了.
The massive whale king grew impatient. This deep-sea powerhouse, known for his taciturnity, found this formal bidding process irksome. "Enough! I have no interest in playing games with you. If you truly want it, bid a reasonable price and stop adding incrementally."
lín xuān àn àn tàn xī , yuán běn tā yě jiàn liè xīn xǐ , zhǐ bù guò chū bù chū jià yǒu xiē yóu yù , shì dào rú jīn dào yě bù yòng qù zuò shén me jiān nán de jué zé .
林轩暗暗叹息,原本他也见猎心喜,只不过出不出价有些犹豫,事到如今倒也不用去做什么艰难的抉择.
Before he could finish speaking, the whale king himself set an example: "Fifty billion!"
sān shí yì jīng shí zì jǐ jiù suàn dāng diào yī xiē bǎo wù , yě jué duì ná bù chū .
三十亿晶石自己就算当掉一些宝物,也绝对拿不出.
Lin Xuan’s eyes widened as did those of other cultivators. The whale king had increased the bid by twenty billion crystals in one go… It was hard to believe such a figure existed, let alone that crystal stones were freely falling from the sky.
yuán běn yǐ wéi zì jǐ shēn jiā fēng fù , cǐ shí cái zhī dào gēn běn jiù shì xiǎo wū jiàn dà wū .
原本以为自己身家丰富,此时才知道根本就是小巫见大巫.
Other participants’ expressions mirrored Lin Xuan's shock. A fifty-billion price tag was indeed outrageous, indicating the whale king’s determination. But could he succeed?
lín xuān tàn xī zhī yú , xīn zhōng yě shì qìng xìng wú bǐ , zhè me kàn lái , zì jǐ néng gòu pāi xià qián miàn liǎng jiàn yā zhòu de bǎo wù , yǐ suàn shì zǔ shàng jī dé , nà xiē zuì dǐng jí de qiáng zhě wú yì yǔ zì jǐ zhēng duó , fǒu zé huā luò shuí shǒu hái zhēn bù tài hǎo shuō .
林轩叹息之余,心中也是庆幸无比,这么看来,自己能够拍下前面两件压轴的宝物,已算是祖上积德,那些最顶级的强者无意与自己争夺,否则花落谁手还真不太好说.
In ordinary auctions, there would be no doubt, but here, almost all top-tier cultivators coveted this treasure. The path to acquisition became more challenging.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò , lín xuān xiǎn de xīn píng qì hé , yuán běn xiǎo xiǎo de yí hàn yě xiāo shī diào le .
脑海中念头转过,林轩显得心平气和,原本小小的遗憾也消失掉了.
At sixty billion crystals, a rare grade of crystal stones, Lin Xuan still couldn't afford it. Yet other top-tier figures remained unperturbed. "Adding incrementally is pointless," said a sinister voice. "The Dark King agrees; let's move on."
ér zhè shí hòu , yǎn qián de pāi mài què fā shēng le chū rén yì liào de biàn gù …… ń , yě bù néng zhè me shuō , zhǐ shì chū jià de fú dù yǒu xiē lí pǔ .
而这时候,眼前的拍卖却发生了出人意料的变故……嗯,也不能这么说,只是出价的幅度有些离谱.
"Very well, I'll add ten billion more," the dark king replied.
zhè yī cì . cān yù pāi mài de bù jǐn rén shù zhòng duō , ér qiě wú yī lì wài hái shì sān jiè zuì dǐng jí de rén wù , suī rán bù néng shuō rén rén dōu zhì zài bì děi , dàn jià gé hái shì yǎo dé hěn jǐn de .
这一次.参与拍卖的不仅人数众多,而且无一例外还是三界最顶级的人物,虽然不能说人人都志在必得,但价格还是咬得很紧的.
These fellows were truly monsters, Lin Xuan thought. This auction was lively but its value might not match all the items sold so far combined. At one hundred billion crystals, even top-tier cultivators hesitated, yet they continued bidding.
suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí . jù jīng wáng de liǎn shàng lù chū le bù nài fán de shén sè . zhè wèi lái zì hǎi yáng shēn chù de qiáng zhě , yuán běn jiù shì yǐ chén mò guǎ yán zhù chēng de . zhè yàng yī bǎn yī yǎn de pāi mài ràng tā yǒu xiē xīn fán .
随着时间的推移.巨鲸王的脸上露出了不耐烦的神色.这位来自海洋深处的强者,原本就是以沉默寡言著称的.这样一板一眼的拍卖让他有些心烦.
"Friends, you must be overconfident. Even if it's a primordial treasure, its utility is limited. I doubt anyone could master the chaos laws with just one experience. One hundred and one billion; no more bids from anyone."
" hǎo le , běn wáng méi yǒu xìng qù yǔ nǐ men zài zhè lǐ wán , zhēn xiǎng yào mǎi de , jiù chū yí gè hé lǐ de jià gé . zhè yàng yì diǎn yì diǎn de jiā , yǒu yì si me ?"
"好了,本王没有兴趣与你们在这里玩,真想要买的,就出一个合理的价格.这样一点一点的加,有意思么?"
The price had soared to an absurd level when someone finally backed out but added another billion before doing so.
jù jīng wáng huà yīn gāng luò , jiù yǐ shēn zuò zé :" wǔ shí yì ！"
巨鲸王话音刚落,就以身作则:"五十亿！"
"One hundred and one billion," sneered a woman's voice. "Do you think the Chaos Stone is worth this much? Exit if you disagree, no need for empty talk."
……
……
Her appearance was striking; her features were beautiful yet combined with an indescribable sharpness that made one shiver.
bié shuō pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě , jiù suàn shì lín xuān tīng le , yì dèng dà yǎn zhū , zhè wèi guǒ rán měng , yì kǒu qì jiā jià èr shí yì jīng shí …… ruò fēi qīn yǎn mù dǔ . shí nán xiāng xìn tiān xià jìng yǒu zhè me biāo hàn de rén wù , yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò , zhēn dāng jīng shí shì cóng tiān shàng diào xià lái de .
别说普通的修仙者,就算是林轩听了,亦瞪大眼珠,这位果然猛,一口气加价二十亿晶石……若非亲眼目睹.实难相信天下竟有这么彪悍的人物,有没有搞错,真当晶石是从天上掉下来的.
This must be Immortal Fairy Tian Jue!
lín xuān xīn zhōng fù fěi bù yǐ , qí tā rén de biǎo qíng yòu hé cháng shì zhèn hàn yǐ jí .
林轩心中腹诽不已,其他人的表情又何尝是震撼以极.
In today’s cultivation world, many wielded swords, but the true lineage of Sword Cultivators had long waned. This woman was a rare and formidable sword cultivator.
èr shí yì jiā jià de fú dù . què shí yǒu xiē lí pǔ , cóng zhè yí gè cè miàn , yě kě yǐ kàn chū jù jīng wáng duì zhè bǎo wù zhì zài bì děi .
二十亿加价的幅度.确实有些离谱,从这一个侧面,也可以看出巨鲸王对这宝物志在必得.
While her paper strength might not match that of an Immortal Wraith or True Demon, few dared to claim they could defeat her in combat, especially Li Yutong.
rán ér tā néng gòu rú yuàn me ?
然而他能够如愿么?
Her words were shocking given the reputation of Sword Cultivators as ruthless and decisive fighters who often outperformed their paper strength. She had just jabbed at the dark king before offering a new bid: "One hundred and five billion."
ruò shì pǔ tōng de pāi mài , nà dāng rán bù yòng huái yí , wèn tí shì , cǐ shí cǐ kè , sān jiè zuì dǐng jí qiáng zhě jī hū rén rén dōu duì zhè bǎo bèi yǎn rè .
若是普通的拍卖,那当然不用怀疑,问题是,此时此刻,三界最顶级强者几乎人人都对这宝贝眼热.
"…!"
nà yàng xiǎng yào shùn lì dào shǒu jiù bú shì nà me róng yì le .
那样想要顺利到手就不是那么容易了.
The Dark King's face showed anger but quickly returned to normal. "Very well, very well! If you wish so much for this treasure, I will honor my promise and yield it to you. But achieving your goal won't be easy."
wǔ shí yì , zhè shì yí gè ràng pǔ tōng xiū shì jué wàng de jià gé , lín xuān yì ná bù chū , dàn qí tā de dǐng jí qiáng zhě , liǎn shàng yī jiù shì yī fù yún dàn fēng qīng de shén sè .
五十亿,这是一个让普通修士绝望的价格,林轩亦拿不出,但其他的顶级强者,脸上依旧是一副云淡风轻的神色.
"No need for you to worry about that," she replied.
" bù yī diǎn yì diǎn de jiā jià , ń , jù jīng dào yǒu cǐ yán yǒu lǐ , nà me zuò , jǐn jǐn shì làng fèi shí jiān ér yǐ , běn wáng yě zhèng yǒu cǐ yì ." yī yīn cè cè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , yōu míng àn wáng de biǎo qíng què kàn bù qīng chǔ :" nà lǎo fū zài jiā shí yì rú hé ?"
"不一点一点的加价,嗯,巨鲸道友此言有理,那么做,仅仅是浪费时间而已,本王也正有此意."一阴测测的声音传入耳朵,幽冥暗王的表情却看不清楚:"那老夫再加十亿如何?"
After the minor disruption, the auction continued…
yūn , zhè xiē jiā huo zhēn shì guài wù .
晕,这些家伙真是怪物.
The price kept rising, nearing two hundred billion crystals. Despite the absurdity of the bids, only a few left, while most top-tier cultivators remained in contention.
The bidding sounds echoed through the hall as participants vied for the auctioned items. This time, all the bidders were among the top figures in the Three Realms: Immortal Wraiths, True Demons, and Great Daoists like Master Nai Long and Immortal Fairy Tian Jue.
