jì rán cǐ cì jiāo huàn jīn shì léi dào yǒu xīn chí ， bù rú jiù yóu gé xià kāi shǐ
既然此次交换今是雷道友辛持，不如就由阁下开始
Since this exchange was initiated by Daoist Lei, why don't you start?
， bù cuò ， léi dào yǒu xiū wèi jīng shēn ， bǎo wù xiǎng bì yě yǒu bù fán zhī chù ， jiù yóu gé xià wèi wǒ men pāo zhuān yǐn yù rú hé 。”
，不错，雷道友修为精深，宝物想必也有不凡之处，就由阁下为我们抛砖引玉如何。”
Indeed, Daoist Lei's cultivation is profound, and his treasures are likely not ordinary. How about we let you throw the first stone to set the tone.
“ shì a ， rú cǐ zài hǎo bù guò 。”
“是啊，如此再好不过。”
Ah, yes, Daoist Lei has deep cultivation, so his treasures must be extraordinary as well. Let’s see what you have to offer."
zhòng xiū shì de shēng yīn fēn fēn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hóng páo xiū shì de liǎn shàng shǐ zhōng dài zhe hé xù de xiào róng ， diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ hǎo ， jì rán zhū wèi dào yǒu rú cǐ tuī chóng léi mǒu ， nà wǒ jiù gōng jìng bù rú cóng mìng le 。”
众修士的声音纷纷传入耳朵，红袍修士的脸上始终带着和煦的笑容，点了点头：“好，既然诸位道友如此推崇雷某，那我就恭敬不如从命了。”
"Exactly, that would be perfect."
cǐ rén yī biān shuō ， yī biān chōng sì zhōu bào le bào quán ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， yī dào lán sè de xiá guāng cóng lǐ miàn fēi lüè chū lái ， yǒu rú shǎn diàn ， cì dé rén zhēng bù kāi yǎn 。
此人一边说，一边冲四周抱了抱拳，伸出手来，在储物袋上一拍，一道蓝色的霞光从里面飞掠出来，有如闪电，刺得人睁不开眼。
The voices of many cultivators echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. The robed cultivator had a warm smile on his face and nodded. "Very well. Since all of you hold such high regard for me, I will gladly comply."
shǎo qǐng ， guāng máng shōu liǎn ， cóng lǐ miàn xiàn chū yī chǐ xǔ zhǎng de wù tǐ lái 。
少顷，光芒收敛，从里面现出一尺许长的物体来。
As he spoke, he gave a slight bow to the surrounding cultivators and extended his hand. He tapped his storage bag, and a streak of blue light shot out like lightning, blinding everyone.
， yí ， zhè shì ”
，咦，这是”
After a moment, the light subsided, revealing an object about a foot long.
， nán dào shì léi yīng zhī gǔ ？”
，难道是雷鹰之骨？”
"Hmm, what is this?"
， zhè me dà yī duàn ， ér qiě zhěng gè wù zhǎo bǎo cún wán hǎo ， kě shì fēi cháng duì xī de liàn qì cái liào 。”
，这么大一段，而且整个物爪保存完好，可是非常对稀的炼器材料。”
Could it be the bone of a Thunder Eagle?
zài chǎng zhī rén dà duō jiàn shí guǎng bó ， kàn qīng chǔ hóng páo xiū shì suǒ ná chū lái de bǎo wù ， yí gè èr gè de mù guāng zhī zhōng ， quán dōu liú lù chū huǒ rè zhī sè 。
在场之人大多见识广博，看清楚红袍修士所拿出来的宝物，一个二个的目光之中，全都流露出火热之色。
Such a large segment, and with the claws intact, it would make for excellent material for refining spiritual artifacts.
， zhū wèi dào yǒu hǎo yǎn lì ， zhè què shí shì léi yīng de yī duàn jiǎo zhǎo ， lǎo fū jì rán pāo zhuān yǐn yù ， zhè jià yě jiù bù néng kāi dé tài gāo ， nǎ wèi dào yǒu néng gòu ná chū wǔ wàn jīng shí ， zhè léi yīng zhī zhǎo jiù jǐn guǎn ná qù 。”
，诸位道友好眼力，这确实是雷鹰的一段脚爪，老夫既然抛砖引玉，这价也就不能开得太高，哪位道友能够拿出五万晶石，这雷鹰之爪就尽管拿去。”
Most cultivators present were well-versed. Upon seeing the robed cultivator's treasure, their eyes lit up with excitement.
wǔ wàn jīng shí ？
五万晶石？
"Daoist friends have keen eyesight; this is indeed a segment of a Thunder Eagle's claw. Since I am throwing in the first stone, I cannot offer too high a price. Any Daoist willing to pay in crystals can take it."
zài chǎng zhī rén dà duō tūn le yī kǒu tuò mò ， píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè ge jià gé kāi dé bìng bù lí pǔ ， dàn jí shǐ duì níng dān qī xiū shì lái shuō ， wǔ wàn jīng shí yě shì yī bǐ bù fēi de shù zì ， mǎi yǔ bù mǎi ， kě jiù yào zài xīn zhōng hǎo hǎo zhēn zhuó 。
在场之人大多吞了一口唾沫，平心来说，这个价格开得并不离谱，但即使对凝丹期修士来说，五万晶石也是一笔不菲的数字，买与不买，可就要在心中好好斟酌。
The robed cultivator swept his sleeve and attempted to put the bone back into his bag.
shuō qǐ léi yīng zhè zhǒng huò shòu ， lín xuān yě shì yǒu yìn xiàng de ， gù míng sī yì ， tiān shēng jù yǒu diàn shǔ xìng shén tōng de néng lì ， děng jí yě jiù ， gāng guò sān jiē ér yǐ ， kě zhè zhǒng yāo shòu nán yǐ liè shā de chéng dù ， què jī hū néng yǔ huà xíng qī de yāo shòu xiāng bǐ 。
说起雷鹰这种或兽，林轩也是有印象的，顾名思义，天生具有电属性神通的能力，等级也就，刚过三阶而已，可这种妖兽难以猎杀的程度，却几乎能与化形期的妖兽相比。
"Wait." A clear voice rang out, and Lin Xuan turned around to see Jin Ling, the woman named so. Indeed, though her appearance was unremarkable, her voice was exceptionally sweet, like a nightingale.
yuán yīn zài yú ， léi yīng xǐ huān qún jū ， tōng cháng dōu shì èr sān shí zhǐ jù zài yì qǐ ， jiù suàn shì yún ， yīng qī de lǎo guài wù ， yì bān qíng kuàng xià ， yě bù yuàn yì qù zhāo rě zhè zhǒng yāo wù 。
原因在于，雷鹰喜欢群居，通常都是二三十只聚在一起，就算是云，婴期的老怪物，一般情况下，也不愿意去招惹这种妖物。
If one only heard her voice without seeing her face, she would be mistaken for a beauty beyond compare.
suī rán děng jí bú shì hěn gāo ， dàn léi yīng de gǔ tou què shì jué jiā de liàn qì cái liào ， xiàng zhè me yī jié wán zhěng de jiǎo gǔ ， shì hěn róng yì jì liàn chū yī jiàn dǐng jiān bǎo wù 。
虽然等级不是很高，但雷鹰的骨头却是绝佳的炼器材料，像这么一截完整的脚骨，是很容易祭炼出一件顶尖宝物。
"Originally, Lady Spirit, why are you so surprised? With treasures bestowed by your ancestor, why should I care about this claw?" Jin Ling glared at him and extended her hand. She tapped her storage bag, and a flash of light appeared, followed by the sound of crystal shuffling into a small mountain in front of her.
rán ér diàn shǔ xìng shǔ yú biàn yì líng gēn de yī zhǒng ， zài zuò de xiū shì suī duō ， què piān piān méi yǒu yí gè ， fǒu zé bié shuō wǔ wàn jīng shí ， jiù suàn qīng jiā dàng chǎn ， kěn dìng yě huì mǎi xià lái 。
然而电属性属于变异灵根的一种，在座的修士虽多，却偏偏没有一个，否则别说五万晶石，就算倾家荡产，肯定也会买下来。
Jin Ling's arrogance left Lin Xuan speechless. She disregarded high-ranking cultivators with ease, spending lavishly as if money were nothing. The word 'arrogant' seemed inadequate to describe her.
dāng rán ， yě bú shì méi yǒu rén dǎ guò xiān mǎi xià lái ， zhuǎn shǒu zài zhuàn shàng yī bǐ de zhǔ yì ， kě rú jīn jiāo yì huì cái gāng gāng kāi shǐ ， rú guǒ wèi le tóu jī huā qù dà liàng jīng shí ， yī huì er zhēn pèng shàng xū yào de dōng xī ， què náng zhōng xiū sè ， nà qǐ bù shì dé bù cháng shī ？
当然，也不是没有人打过先买下来，转手再赚上一笔的主意，可如今交易会才刚刚开始，如果为了投机花去大量晶石，一会儿真碰上需要的东西，却囊中羞涩，那岂不是得不偿失？
However, this had nothing to do with Lin Xuan. Nearby, a few condensation core cultivators watched enviously but dared not offend her due to the presence of an old monster behind her.
gù ér zhēn zhuó yī fān lì bì zhī hòu ， jiǔ jiǔ dōu méi yǒu rén kāi kǒu 。
故而斟酌一番利弊之后，久久都没有人开口。
Lin Xuan shook his head; such a young girl was too ignorant of the world's vastness.
lín xuān suī rán bù quē jīng shí ， dàn diàn shǔ xìng de yāo shòu cái liào duì tā bìng méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， suǒ yǐ yě jiù bù xiǎng yǐn rén zhǔ mù de chū shǒu le 。
林轩虽然不缺晶石，但电属性的妖兽材料对他并没有用处，所以也就不想引人瞩目的出手了。
The robed cultivator, after being rebuked, looked displeased. But he hesitated and smiled bitterly. "Lady Spirit jests. If you wish to pay in crystals for this beast material, it is none of my concern."
zhuǎn yǎn guò qù le bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu 。
转眼过去了半盏茶的功夫。
Lin Xuan’s spirit probe confirmed that the number was correct, so he handed over the Thunder Eagle's claw.
， zěn me ， zhū wèi dào yǒu duì léi yīng zhī zhǎo bù gǎn xìng qù ？” hóng páo xiū shì dào yě bù jí ， zuǐ jiǎo dòng fǎn ér gōu lè chū yī lǚ xiào yì ：“ jì rán dà jiā bù xiǎng mǎi léi mǒu tí gōng de cái liào ， nà méi yǒu bàn fǎ ， cǐ wù zài xià zhǐ hǎo lìng mì mǎi zhǔ 。”
，怎么，诸位道友对雷鹰之爪不感兴趣？”红袍修士倒也不急，嘴角动反而勾勒出一缕笑意：“既然大家不想买雷某提供的材料，那没有办法，此物在下只好另觅买主。”
After their transaction, other cultivators had various reactions. After a long while, a burly giant stood up.
shuō wán xiù páo yī fú ， xiǎng yào jiāng jiǎo gǔ chóng xīn shōu rù náng zhōng 。
说完袖袍一拂，想要将脚骨重新收入囊中。
His face was covered with stubble, and his appearance resembled a highway robber from the mortal world. His voice was deep and resonant.
， děng děng 。” yī qīng cuì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān huí guò tóu ， zhèng shì nà míng jiào jīn líng de nǚ zǐ ， hái bié shuō ， cǐ nǚ róng mào pǔ tōng ， rán ér shēng yīn què tián měi yì cháng ， gěi rén de gǎn jué jiù xiàng bǎi líng niǎo yī yàng 。
，等等。”一清脆的声音传入耳朵，林轩回过头，正是那名叫金灵的女子，还别说，此女容貌普通，然而声音却甜美异常，给人的感觉就像百灵鸟一样。
"I bring only two grade three demon pills for exchange. I am willing to trade them for crystals; the highest bidder gets it."
ruò shì guāng wén qí shēng ， bú jiàn qí rén ， kǒng pà hái huì yǐ wéi shì jué dài jiā rén 。
若是光闻其声，不见其人，恐怕还会以为是绝代佳人。
Grade three demon pills?
， yuán lái shì líng xiān zi ， zěn me ， gū niáng yǒu lǎo zǔ cì yǔ de gè zhǒng bǎo wù ， hái duì cǐ zhǎo gǎn xīng qǐ ” hóng páo xiū shì de biǎo qíng mǎn shì chà yì 。
，原来是灵仙子，怎么，姑娘有老祖赐予的各种宝物，还对此爪感兴起”红袍修士的表情满是诧异。
Lin Xuan’s spirit probe confirmed that they were unremarkable, but several cultivators joined in bidding.
“ yào nǐ guǎn nà me duō ， běn xiān zi bù quē jīng shí ， yuàn yì jiāng cǐ wù mǎi lái wán shuǎ ， nán dào bù kě yǐ ma ？” jīn líng dèng le duì fāng yī yǎn ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， xiá guāng shǎn guò ， huā lā lā shēng xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī zuò duī chéng xiǎo shān xíng zhuàng de jīng shí jiù chū xiàn zài miàn pīn le 。
“要你管那么多，本仙子不缺晶石，愿意将此物买来玩耍，难道不可以吗？”金灵瞪了对方一眼，伸出手来，在储物袋上一拍，霞光闪过，哗啦啦声响传入耳朵，一座堆成小山形状的晶石就出现在面拼了。
As time passed, one by one, cultivators revealed their treasures—beast skins and bones, medicinal pills, talismans, even ancient treasures. Some transactions succeeded, while others failed to attract any interest, leaving the owners feeling embarrassed.
cǐ nǚ zhī diāo mán ， ràng lín xuān yě wèi zhī cè mù ， bù jiāng gāo jiē xiū shì fàng zài yǎn zhōng ， huī jīn rú shàng ， kǒng pà xiāo zhāng zhè ge cí yě nán yǐ xíng róng 。
此女之刁蛮，让林轩也为之侧目，不将高阶修士放在眼中，挥金如上，恐怕嚣张这个词也难以形容。
Lin Xuan seized an opportunity and made a small profit; here, various beast materials were more abundant and cheaper than in the mortal world. He would not miss out on anything good.
dāng rán ， zhè xiē yǔ zì jǐ méi yǒu guān xì ， ér yī páng de níng dān qī xiū shì zé kàn dé yǎn rè bù yǐ ， ruò fēi gù jì tā shēn hòu de lǎo guài wù ， cǐ nǚ jiù suàn shì yǒu shí tiáo xìng mìng kǒng pà yě sòng zài zhè lǐ le 。
当然，这些与自己没有关系，而一旁的凝丹期修士则看得眼热不已，若非顾忌她身后的老怪物，此女就算是有十条性命恐怕也送在这里了。
After twenty people had completed their exchanges, it was Jin Ling's turn.
lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， zhè xiǎo nī zi tài guò bù zhī tiān gāo dì hòu 。
林轩摇了摇头，这小妮子太过不知天高地厚。
Though she was only at the condensation core stage, her background was strong enough to deter any contempt from others.
bèi duì fāng qiǎng bái le jǐ jù ， hóng páo xiū shì de biǎo qíng yě bù tài hǎo ， dàn yóu yù le yī xià ， bìng méi yǒu fā zuò ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū kǔ sè de xiào róng “ líng xiān zi shuō xiào le ， mí yuàn yì fù yǔ jīng shí ， jiāng zhè yāo shòu cái liào mǎi huí qù zuò shén me kě yǔ léi mǒu méi yǒu guān xì 。”
被对方抢白了几句，红袍修士的表情也不太好，但犹豫了一下，并没有发作，嘴角边露出苦涩的笑容“灵仙子说笑了，弥愿意付予晶石，将这妖兽材料买回去做什么可与雷某没有关系。”
She walked forward confidently, flipped her wrist, and revealed a wooden box in her palm.
shén shí zài nà duī jīng shí shān shàng sǎo guò ， shù mù méi cuò ， biàn jiāng léi yīng zhī zhǎo dì dào le shào nǚ de shǒu zhōng 。
神识在那堆晶石山上扫过，数目没错，便将雷鹰之爪递到了少女的手中。
The box was made of some unknown wood, pale purple in color, and emitted a rich fragrance.
liǎng rén jiāo yì wán le ， qí tā xiū xiān zhě shén sè gè yì ， zú zú guò le hǎo yī zhèn zi ， cái yǒu yī shēn cái zhuàng shuò de jù hàn zhàn qǐ 。
两人交易完了，其他修仙者神色各异，足足过了好一阵子，才有一身材壮硕的巨汉站起。
Lin Xuan’s expression suddenly became strange but quickly returned to normal. He lightly touched his waist pouch with his right hand.
cǐ rén mǎn liǎn héng ròu ， kàn zhǎng xiàng ， jiǎn zhí jiù xiàng shì sú bàn lù jié dào de fěi tú ， shuō qǐ huà lái yě shì wèng shēng wèng qì 。
此人满脸横肉，看长相，简直就像世俗半路劫道的匪徒，说起话来也是瓮声瓮气。
Jin Ling gently opened the lid, revealing a golden egg about the size of a goose's egg.
， bǐ rén dài lái jiāo huàn de bǎo wù bù duō ， zhǐ yǒu sān jí yāo dān liǎng kē ， bú yào bié de dōng xī ， zhǐ jiāo huàn jīng shí ， jià gāo zhě dé 。
，鄙人带来交换的宝物不多，只有三级妖丹两颗，不要别的东西，只交换晶石，价高者得。
The surface was adorned with several talismans, adding an air of mystery.
sān jí yāo dān ？
三级妖丹？
"What is this?"
lín xuān shén shí sǎo guò ， píng píng wú qí ， yě méi yǒu shén me xìng qù ， bù guò zhè yī cì ， què yǒu jǐ míng xiū xiān zhě jiā rù le jìng jià zhēng duó 。
林轩神识扫过，平平无奇，也没有什么兴趣，不过这一次，却有几名修仙者加入了竟价争夺。
All the cultivators widened their eyes in surprise. After some time, they all looked puzzled as no one recognized it.
suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， xiū shì men yí gè gè jiāng zì jǐ dài lái de bǎo wù qǔ chū ， shén me yāo shòu de pí máo gǔ gé ， dān yào ， fú zhuàn ， shèn zhì hái yǒu gǔ bǎo ， bù yī ér zú
随着时间的推移，修士们一个个将自己带来的宝物取出，什么妖兽的皮毛骨骼，丹药，符篆，甚至还有古宝，不一而足
"Hmph!" Jin Ling’s gaze swept across everyone, exuding arrogance: "You are still condensation core cultivators; your knowledge is so shallow."
yǒu de jiāo yì chéng gōng le ， shuāng fāng jiē dà huān xǐ ， yě yǒu de wú rén wèn jīn ， ná chū zhě bù yóu de lù chū shàn shàn de biǎo qíng 。
有的交易成功了，双方皆大欢喜，也有的无人问津，拿出者不由得露出讪讪的表情。
Lin Xuan was speechless. He had seen arrogance before, but this level of arrogance was unprecedented. This young girl truly believed her patron was a late-stage cultivator and dared to look down on others.
lín xuān chǒu zhǔn jī huì chū shǒu ， dào yě xiǎo yǒu shōu huò ， bì jìng zhè lǐ de gè zhǒng yāo shòu cái liào bǐ rén jiè fēng fù ， ér qiě jià gé yě pián yi xǔ duō ， zhǐ yào yǒu hǎo de ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì cuò guò 。
林轩瞅准机会出手，倒也小有收获，毕竟这里的各种妖兽材料比人界丰富，而且价格也便宜许多，只要有好的，林轩自然不会错过。
But Lin Xuan remained calm. His interest in the box grew as he touched his waist pouch again.
zhuǎn yǎn ， yǐ yǒu èr shí duō rén wán chéng le jiāo yì ， lún dào le nà wèi míng jiào jīn líng de nǚ zǐ 。
转眼，已有二十多人完成了交易，轮到了那位名叫金灵的女子。
"May I ask, Lady Spirit, what is this egg?" The robed cultivator, as the initiator of this exchange meeting, could not allow it to continue with no one participating.
tā suī rán jǐn jǐn shì zhù jī qī xiū shì ， dàn yóu yú kào shān gòu yìng ， dào méi yǒu rén gǎn qīng shì 。
她虽然仅仅是筑基期修士，但由于靠山够硬，倒没有人敢轻视。
This was an egg from a three-headed golden python. As you can see, my ancestor sealed it with talismans and has yet to recognize its master. In exchange for a bottle of condensation core pills, but I must warn that only high-grade ones will do." Jin Ling spoke slowly, her voice clear and pleasant.
cǐ nǚ luò luò dà fāng de zǒu dào qián miàn ， shǒu wàn fān zhuǎn ， zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng yǐ duō chū le yí gè mù hé lái 。
此女落落大方的走到前面，手腕翻转，掌心之中已多出了一个木盒来。
"What? A three-headed golden python?" The cultivators present were shocked, their expressions filled with greed. Lin Xuan even heard the sound of saliva dripping from his mouth.
cǐ hé bù zhī dào shì yóu shén me mù cái suǒ zhì ， chéng dàn zǐ sè ， ér qiě sàn fà chū yī gǔ nóng yù de xiāng qì 。
此盒不知道是由什么木材所制，呈淡紫色，而且散发出一股浓郁的香气。
Lin Xuan was also intrigued; he had extensive knowledge but had never heard of a three-headed golden python. This was not surprising given the number and variety of beasts on this island far exceeded those in the mortal world.
lín xuān dīng zhe cǐ nǚ ， biǎo qíng tū rán biàn dé gǔ guài yǐ jí ， hǎo zài shāo shǎn jí sǒng ， kè yě méi yǒu rén zhù yì ， zhǐ shì yòu shǒu líng guāng shǎn dòng ， qīng qīng fǔ mō le yī xià yāo jiān xuán zhe de mǒu zhǐ dài zi 。
林轩盯着此女，表情突然变得古怪以极，好在稍闪即耸，刻也没有人注意，只是右手灵光闪动，轻轻抚摸了一下腰间悬着的某只袋子。
However, everyone's reaction indicated that this egg’s value was extraordinary.
cǐ nǚ shēn chū qiàn shǒu ， qīng qīng jiāng hé gài jiē kāi ， lǐ miàn lù chū le yī zhī dàn jīn sè de shòu luǎn 。
此女伸出纤手，轻轻将盒盖揭开，里面露出了一只淡金色的兽卵。
"Is there any Daoist willing to exchange?" Her voice became more urgent.
cǐ luǎn yuē yǒu é dàn dà xiǎo ， bù jǐn yán sè fēi cháng xī yǐn rén de yǎn qiú ， ér qiě biǎo miàn hái tiē yǒu jǐ zhāng fú zhuàn ， gèng xiǎn chū jǐ fēn shén mì de wèi dào lái le 。
此卵约有鹅蛋大小，不仅颜色非常吸引人的眼球，而且表面还贴有几张符篆，更显出几分神秘的味道来了。
Everyone exchanged glances; who wouldn’t want it? But they needed something she wanted first. Condensation core pills were trivial for late-stage cultivators, but high-grade ones were too much to ask.
“ zhè shì ”
“这是”
Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed with interest as he sat quietly in his chair.
zhòng xiū shì jiē dèng dà le yǎn jīng ， rán ér guān shǎng piàn kè zhī hòu ， què fēn fēn lù chū yí huò de biǎo qíng ， nà me duō rén ， jū rán wú yī rèn shí 。
众修士皆瞪大了眼睛，然而观赏片刻之后，却纷纷露出疑惑的表情，那么多人，居然无一认识。
After a while, an old bald man stood up and walked forward: "Lady Spirit, I have a medium-grade pill here and am willing to supplement crystals. Do you wish to exchange?"
“ hēng ！” shào nǚ de mù guāng zài zhòng rén liǎn shàng sǎo guò ， yuè fā lù chū jǐ fēn ào qì lái le ： jìng nǐ men hái shì níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě ， jiàn shí zhè me qiǎn bó 。”
“哼！”少女的目光在众人脸上扫过，越发露出几分傲气来了：境你们还是凝丹期修仙者，见识这么浅薄。”
"Hmph, a medium-grade pill; do you think my ancestor doesn’t have one? As for the crystals, I don’t need such things." Seeing the old man stand up, Jin Ling’s eyes lit up but turned cold when she saw his disappointment.
lín xuān yǐ jīng wú yǔ le ， jiàn guò xiāo zhāng de ， dàn méi jiàn guò yǒu zhè me xiāo zhāng de ， zhè xiǎo nī zi ， zhēn yǐ wéi zì jǐ de kào shān shì hòu qī dà xiū shì ， jū rán gǎn mù zhōng wú rén zhì cǐ 。
林轩已经无语了，见过嚣张的，但没见过有这么嚣张的，这小妮子，真以为自己的靠山是后期大修士，居然敢目中无人至此。
The bald old man was rebuffed and looked displeased. He gritted his teeth but retreated without a word.
bù guò lín xuān dāng rán bú huì shēng qì ， fǎn ér shì kàn zhe cǐ nǚ shǒu zhōng de hé zi ， yuè lái yuè gǎn xìng qù ， shǒu bù yóu de yòu shēn xiàng yāo jiān ， fǔ mō le yī xià mǒu zhǐ kǒu dài 。
不过林轩当然不会生气，反而是看着此女手中的盒子，越来越感兴趣，手不由得又伸向腰间，抚摸了一下某只口袋。
Jin Ling ignored him, her face still showing hope, but after waiting for a long time, no one came forward. She closed the lid of the box and put it back into her storage bag.
“ gǎn wèn líng xiān zi ， cǐ luǎn jiū jìng shì shén me dōng xī ？… hóng páo xiū shì shēn wèi cǐ cì jiāo yì huì de fā qǐ rén ， zì rán bù néng yì zhí kàn zhe pāo lěng chǎng xià qù 。
“敢问灵仙子，此卵究竟是什么东西？…红袍修士身为此次交易会的发起人，自然不能一直看着抛冷场下去。
The next exchanges were unremarkable, with no high-grade items appearing. It was Lin Xuan’s turn; he stood up and took out a sword from his storage bag.
zhè shì sān shǒu jīn mǎng suǒ chǎn xià de luǎn ， gè wèi yě yǐ jīng kàn jiàn ， jiā zǔ yòng fú zhuàn jiāng qí fēng zhù ， shàng wèi rèn zhǔ ， huàn zhù jī dān yī píng ， bù guò xiǎo nǚ zǐ yǒu yán zài xiān ， xīn xū shì shàng pǐn de cái xíng 。” jīn líng huǎn huǎn kāi kǒu ， shēng yīn qīng cuì dòng tīng 。
这是三首金蟒所产下的卵，各位也已经看见，家祖用符篆将其封住，尚未认主，换筑基丹一瓶，不过小女子有言在先，芯须是上品的才行。”金灵缓缓开口，声音清脆动听。
This was an ancient treasure, but its quality was poor. Lin Xuan didn’t know who had lost their life to obtain it.
“ shén me ， sān shǒu jīn mǎng ？” zài zuò de xiū shì jiē dà chī yī jīng ， wú bù lù chū tān lán de biǎo qíng ， lín xuān shèn zhì hěn qīng xī de tīng jiàn le tūn kǒu shuǐ de shēng yīn 。
“什么，三首金蟒？”在座的修士皆大吃一惊，无不露出贪婪的表情，林轩甚至很清晰的听见了吞口水的声音。
Such things were common for him, so he paid little attention, but they drew the envy of many cultivators. Even weak ancient treasures could not be easily found in ordinary markets.

林轩也不由得心中一动，他虽然见识广博，但三首金蟒却没有听过，这并不足怪，此岛的妖兽数量与种类，都远不是人界可比。
A bidding frenzy ensued, and a nondescript cultivator eventually won with ten thousand crystals, leaving Lin Xuan with a small profit.
dàn cóng dà jiā de fǎn yìng lái kàn ， cǐ shòu luǎn de jià zhí xiǎn rán fēi tóng yī bān 。
但从大家的反应来看，此兽卵的价值显然非同一般。
The exchange continued…
“ zěn me yàng ， yǒu méi yǒu dào yǒu yuàn yì jiāo huàn 。” cǐ nǚ de shēng yīn xiǎn de yǒu xiē jí qiè le qǐ lái 。
“怎么样，有没有道友愿意交换。”此女的声音显得有些急切了起来。
After another half hour, when the last person traded away a millennium-old spirit herb for needed materials, this gathering drew to a close.

众人不由得面面相觑，谁不愿意？可前提也得有她所需要的东西，筑基丹对凝丹修士来说不值一提，然而上品的，这就未免有些太强人所难了。
Some were happy, while others were disappointed. Everyone had some gains or losses, and they left the pavilion in high spirits.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng yì máng shǎn shuò ， dàn què yī jiù jìng jìng de zuò zài yǐ zi dāng zhōng 。
林轩眼中异芒闪烁，但却依旧静静的坐在椅子当中。
But whether their hearts truly felt that way was unclear.
Since this exchange was initiated by Daoist Lei, why don't you start?
Indeed, Daoist Lei's cultivation is profound, and his treasures are likely not ordinary. How about we let you throw the first stone to set the tone.
Ah, yes, Daoist Lei has deep cultivation, so his treasures must be extraordinary as well. Let’s see what you have to offer."
"Exactly, that would be perfect."
The voices of many cultivators echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. The robed cultivator had a warm smile on his face and nodded. "Very well. Since all of you hold such high regard for me, I will gladly comply."
As he spoke, he gave a slight bow to the surrounding cultivators and extended his hand. He tapped his storage bag, and a streak of blue light shot out like lightning, blinding everyone.
After a moment, the light subsided, revealing an object about a foot long.
"Hmm, what is this?"
Could it be the bone of a Thunder Eagle?
Such a large segment, and with the claws intact, it would make for excellent material for refining spiritual artifacts.
Most cultivators present were well-versed. Upon seeing the robed cultivator's treasure, their eyes lit up with excitement.
"Daoist friends have keen eyesight; this is indeed a segment of a Thunder Eagle's claw. Since I am throwing in the first stone, I cannot offer too high a price. Any Daoist willing to pay in crystals can take it."
The robed cultivator swept his sleeve and attempted to put the bone back into his bag.
"Wait." A clear voice rang out, and Lin Xuan turned around to see Jin Ling, the woman named so. Indeed, though her appearance was unremarkable, her voice was exceptionally sweet, like a nightingale.
If one only heard her voice without seeing her face, she would be mistaken for a beauty beyond compare.
"Originally, Lady Spirit, why are you so surprised? With treasures bestowed by your ancestor, why should I care about this claw?" Jin Ling glared at him and extended her hand. She tapped her storage bag, and a flash of light appeared, followed by the sound of crystal shuffling into a small mountain in front of her.
Jin Ling's arrogance left Lin Xuan speechless. She disregarded high-ranking cultivators with ease, spending lavishly as if money were nothing. The word 'arrogant' seemed inadequate to describe her.
However, this had nothing to do with Lin Xuan. Nearby, a few condensation core cultivators watched enviously but dared not offend her due to the presence of an old monster behind her.
Lin Xuan shook his head; such a young girl was too ignorant of the world's vastness.
The robed cultivator, after being rebuked, looked displeased. But he hesitated and smiled bitterly. "Lady Spirit jests. If you wish to pay in crystals for this beast material, it is none of my concern."
Lin Xuan’s spirit probe confirmed that the number was correct, so he handed over the Thunder Eagle's claw.
After their transaction, other cultivators had various reactions. After a long while, a burly giant stood up.
His face was covered with stubble, and his appearance resembled a highway robber from the mortal world. His voice was deep and resonant.
"I bring only two grade three demon pills for exchange. I am willing to trade them for crystals; the highest bidder gets it."
Grade three demon pills?
Lin Xuan’s spirit probe confirmed that they were unremarkable, but several cultivators joined in bidding.
As time passed, one by one, cultivators revealed their treasures—beast skins and bones, medicinal pills, talismans, even ancient treasures. Some transactions succeeded, while others failed to attract any interest, leaving the owners feeling embarrassed.
Lin Xuan seized an opportunity and made a small profit; here, various beast materials were more abundant and cheaper than in the mortal world. He would not miss out on anything good.
After twenty people had completed their exchanges, it was Jin Ling's turn.
Though she was only at the condensation core stage, her background was strong enough to deter any contempt from others.
She walked forward confidently, flipped her wrist, and revealed a wooden box in her palm.
The box was made of some unknown wood, pale purple in color, and emitted a rich fragrance.
Lin Xuan’s expression suddenly became strange but quickly returned to normal. He lightly touched his waist pouch with his right hand.
Jin Ling gently opened the lid, revealing a golden egg about the size of a goose's egg.
The surface was adorned with several talismans, adding an air of mystery.
"What is this?"
All the cultivators widened their eyes in surprise. After some time, they all looked puzzled as no one recognized it.
"Hmph!" Jin Ling’s gaze swept across everyone, exuding arrogance: "You are still condensation core cultivators; your knowledge is so shallow."
Lin Xuan was speechless. He had seen arrogance before, but this level of arrogance was unprecedented. This young girl truly believed her patron was a late-stage cultivator and dared to look down on others.
But Lin Xuan remained calm. His interest in the box grew as he touched his waist pouch again.
"May I ask, Lady Spirit, what is this egg?" The robed cultivator, as the initiator of this exchange meeting, could not allow it to continue with no one participating.
This was an egg from a three-headed golden python. As you can see, my ancestor sealed it with talismans and has yet to recognize its master. In exchange for a bottle of condensation core pills, but I must warn that only high-grade ones will do." Jin Ling spoke slowly, her voice clear and pleasant.
"What? A three-headed golden python?" The cultivators present were shocked, their expressions filled with greed. Lin Xuan even heard the sound of saliva dripping from his mouth.
Lin Xuan was also intrigued; he had extensive knowledge but had never heard of a three-headed golden python. This was not surprising given the number and variety of beasts on this island far exceeded those in the mortal world.
However, everyone's reaction indicated that this egg’s value was extraordinary.
"Is there any Daoist willing to exchange?" Her voice became more urgent.
Everyone exchanged glances; who wouldn’t want it? But they needed something she wanted first. Condensation core pills were trivial for late-stage cultivators, but high-grade ones were too much to ask.
Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed with interest as he sat quietly in his chair.
After a while, an old bald man stood up and walked forward: "Lady Spirit, I have a medium-grade pill here and am willing to supplement crystals. Do you wish to exchange?"
"Hmph, a medium-grade pill; do you think my ancestor doesn’t have one? As for the crystals, I don’t need such things." Seeing the old man stand up, Jin Ling’s eyes lit up but turned cold when she saw his disappointment.
The bald old man was rebuffed and looked displeased. He gritted his teeth but retreated without a word.
Jin Ling ignored him, her face still showing hope, but after waiting for a long time, no one came forward. She closed the lid of the box and put it back into her storage bag.
The next exchanges were unremarkable, with no high-grade items appearing. It was Lin Xuan’s turn; he stood up and took out a sword from his storage bag.
This was an ancient treasure, but its quality was poor. Lin Xuan didn’t know who had lost their life to obtain it.
Such things were common for him, so he paid little attention, but they drew the envy of many cultivators. Even weak ancient treasures could not be easily found in ordinary markets.
A bidding frenzy ensued, and a nondescript cultivator eventually won with ten thousand crystals, leaving Lin Xuan with a small profit.
The exchange continued…
After another half hour, when the last person traded away a millennium-old spirit herb for needed materials, this gathering drew to a close.
Some were happy, while others were disappointed. Everyone had some gains or losses, and they left the pavilion in high spirits.
But whether their hearts truly felt that way was unclear.
