piàn kè hòu ， lín xuān cóng yù tǒng jiǎn lǐ shōu huí shén shí ， qīng qīng de xū le kǒu qì ：“ zhè gōng fǎ ， wǒ yào le 。”
片刻后，林轩从玉筒简里收回神识，轻轻的吁了口气：“这功法，我要了。”
A moment later, Lin Xuan withdrew his spirit consciousness from the jade cylinder and took a deep breath. "I'll take this cultivation technique."
jiāng dì huǒ zhī fú ， dān shū ， yǐ jí xīn de líng yǎn shù gōng fǎ shōu rù chǔ wù shǒu zhuó ， cǐ xíng xiǎng yào de dōng xī dōu mǎi qí le ， lín xuān zhèng zhǔn bèi lí kāi hǎi lóng gé ， nà zhǎng guì què yòu jiāng tā jiào zhù ：“ dào yǒu ， děng děng 。”
将地火之符，丹书，以及新的灵眼术功法收入储物手镯，此行想要的东西都买齐了，林轩正准备离开海龙阁，那掌柜却又将他叫住：“道友，等等。”
He stored the Earth Fire Talisman, the pill book, and the new Spirit Eye Technique in his storage bracelet. With everything he wanted to buy now complete, Lin Xuan was about to leave the Dragon Sea Pavilion when the shopkeeper called him back: "Friend Daoist, wait a moment."
lín xuān yí zhèng ， yǒu xiē chà yì de tíng xià jiǎo bù ：“ hái yǒu shì ma ？”
林轩一怔，有些诧异的停下脚步：“还有事吗？”
Lin Xuan paused, slightly surprised. "Is there something else?"
nà pàng zi chén yín le yī xià ：“ dào yǒu xiǎng yào liàn dān ， bù zhī yǒu jǐ fēn bǎ wò ？”
那胖子沉吟了一下：“道友想要炼丹，不知有几分把握？”
The fat man hesitated for a moment and then said, "Do you want to refine pills? How confident are you in your abilities?"
lín xuān zhòu le zhòu méi ， mò rán bù yǔ 。
林轩皱了皱眉，默然不语。
Lin Xuan frowned but remained silent.
“ dào yǒu bú yào wù huì ， wǒ zhè yàng wèn ， bìng méi yǒu bié de yì si ， zhǐ shì běn diàn yǒu yī zhǒng yào cái ， kě yǐ yǒu xiào tí gāo liàn dān de chéng gōng lǜ 。”
“道友不要误会，我这样问，并没有别的意思，只是本店有一种药材，可以有效提高炼丹的成功率。”
"Please don't misunderstand me. I'm just asking because this store has an herb that can significantly increase the success rate of refining pills."
“ yǒu zhè yàng de dōng xī ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng yě bù yóu lù chū yī sī jīng yà de biǎo qíng ， tā suī rán jǐn jǐn shì líng dòng qī de dī jiē xiū zhēn zhě ， dàn tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù hǎo dǎi yě yǒu sì nián ， zài piāo yún gǔ ěr rú mù rǎn ， yě suàn pǒ yǒu jiàn shí ， què cóng lái méi yǒu tīng shuō guò yǒu yào cái néng tí gāo liàn dān de chéng gōng lǜ 。
“有这样的东西？”林轩脸上也不由露出一丝惊讶的表情，他虽然仅仅是灵动期的低阶修真者，但踏上修仙之路好歹也有四年，在飘云谷耳濡目染，也算颇有见识，却从来没有听说过有药材能提高炼丹的成功率。
"Such a thing exists?" Lin Xuan's expression showed some surprise as well. Although he was only at the Flexible Spirit Period, he had been on the cultivation path for four years and had heard enough about the world to know that no one had ever mentioned an herb that could boost the success rate of refining pills.
“ dào yǒu bù yòng dān xīn ， bǐ rén jué duì méi yǒu huǎng yán xiāng qī ， cǐ líng yào yě shì gāng fā xiàn bù jiǔ ， ér qiě shù liàng xī shǎo 。”
“道友不用担心，鄙人绝对没有谎言相欺，此灵药也是刚发现不久，而且数量稀少。”
"The friend Daoist need not worry. I swear by my word; this is a genuine discovery and there are very few such herbs available."
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī rán yǒu xiē bù xìn ， duì yú xiū zhēn zhě lái shuō ， dān yào kě yǐ tí shēng xiū wèi ， chōng jī píng jǐng ， zì rán shí fēn de bǎo guì ， piān piān liàn zhì dān yào ， yòu hěn róng yì shī bài ， rú guǒ yǒu dōng xī néng gòu tí shēng chéng gōng lǜ ， nà hái bù zài xiū zhēn jiè xiān qǐ xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， nǎ huì xiàng zì jǐ zhè me yí gè dī jiē xiū shì zhāo lǎn shēng yì 。“
林轩心中依然有些不信，对于修真者来说，丹药可以提升修为，冲击瓶颈，自然十分的宝贵，偏偏炼制丹药，又很容易失败，如果有东西能够提升成功率，那还不在修真界掀起腥风血雨，哪会像自己这么一个低阶修士招揽生意。“
Lin Xuan was still skeptical, but for a cultivator, pills were crucial for enhancing cultivation and breaking through barriers, making them extremely valuable. However, the process of refining pills often failed, so if something could increase success rates, it would have caused a stir in the cultivation world.
“ bù mán dào yǒu ， cǐ wù zhǐ duì xǐ suǐ dān yǒu xiào 。” sì hū kàn chū le lín xuān de jīng yí ， pàng zi zhǔ dòng jiě shì ：“ zhè zhǒng héng xīn cǎo zhǐ néng tí gāo liàn zhì xǐ suǐ dān de chéng gōng lǜ ， suǒ yǐ zhèng hǎo shì hé dào yǒu zhè yàng de xiū shì 。”
“不瞒道友，此物只对洗髓丹有效。”似乎看出了林轩的惊疑，胖子主动解释：“这种恒心草只能提高炼制洗髓丹的成功率，所以正好适合道友这样的修士。”
"I won't lie to you; this herb is only effective for Essence Cleansing Pills," the fat man explained, sensing Lin Xuan's doubts. "This perseverance grass can only boost the success rate of refining Essence Cleansing Pills, which makes it perfect for your level."
“ rèn hé yí gè pǐn jiē dì xǐ suǐ dān dōu yǒu xiào ma ？”
“任何一个品阶地洗髓丹都有效吗？”
"Doesn't matter if it's a lower-grade or higher-grade Essence Cleansing Pill?"
“ dāng rán ， bù lùn nǐ shì liàn zhì xià pǐn 。 zhōng pǐn ， shàng pǐn ， shèn zhì shì jí pǐn dān ， gāi cǎo dōu néng tí gāo chéng gōng lǜ 。” pàng zi xìn xīn shí zú de chuī xū ：“ bǐ rén yǐ jīng shuō guò 。 běn diàn de wù pǐn suī rán shāo guì ， dàn pǐn zhì jué duì shì yǒu bǎo zhàng 。”
“当然，不论你是炼制下品。中品，上品，甚至是极品丹，该草都能提高成功率。”胖子信心十足的吹嘘：“鄙人已经说过。本店的物品虽然稍贵，但品质绝对是有保障。”
"Yes, regardless of whether you're refining a lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, or even top-grade pill. This herb can increase the success rate," the fat man boasted confidently. "I've already told you that our items may be slightly more expensive, but their quality is guaranteed."
jiàn duì fāng shuō dé nà me jiān jué 。 ér qiě gāng cái zài hǎi lóng gé mǎi dào de dōng xī què shí bù cuò ， lín xuān yě yǒu xiē dòng xīn le ， yuán yīn wú tā ， zì jǐ huái lǐ yǒu shù wàn kē fèi dān ， suǒ yǐ shàng pǐn dān dì lái yuán bú huì yǒu wèn tí ， dàn yín yuè huā hé liú yíng cǎo kě bù duō a ， rú guǒ èr cì cuì liàn shī bài le ……
见对方说得那么坚决。而且刚才在海龙阁买到的东西确实不错，林轩也有些动心了，原因无他，自己怀里有数万颗废丹，所以上品丹地来源不会有问题，但银月花和流萤草可不多啊，如果二次淬炼失败了……
Seeing how confident the shopkeeper was and considering the good deal he had just gotten at the Dragon Sea Pavilion, Lin Xuan became interested. He had tens of thousands of waste pills in his possession, so there would be no problem with high-grade pills, but silver moon flowers and flowery grass were scarce.
lín xuān kàn le pàng zi yī yǎn ：“ nǐ nà héng xīn cǎo zěn me mǎi ？”
林轩看了胖子一眼：“你那恒心草怎么买？”
"Alright, I'll wait until tomorrow to rent a shop," said Lin Xuan as he decided on the spot. "I need six hours to prepare."
“ yī zhū héng xīn cǎo jiù kě yǐ liàn zhì dān yào yī lú ， zhǐ xū yào wǔ bǎi jīng shí jiù kě yǐ le 。”
“一株恒心草就可以炼制丹药一炉，只需要五百晶石就可以了。”
Lin Xuan left the Dragon Sea Pavilion without lingering. After confirming that no one was following him with his spirit consciousness, he immediately flew away. Half an hour later, Lin Xuan landed in a remote area where it was deserted. The Heaven Demon Mimicry Technique had expired, and he returned to his true appearance.
“ wǔ bǎi jīng shí ？” lín xuān zài xīn zhōng héng liáng le yī xià ， píng xīn ér lùn 。 rú guǒ zhēn yǒu tí gāo liàn dān chéng gōng lǜ zhè zhǒng nì tiān gōng xiào de huà ， cǐ jià qián dào yě bù guì ， bù guò zì jǐ shǒu lǐ xiàn zài yǐ jīng méi yǒu nà me duō 。
“五百晶石？”林轩在心中衡量了一下，平心而论。如果真有提高炼丹成功率这种逆天功效的话，此价钱倒也不贵，不过自己手里现在已经没有那么多。
Closing his eyes, he thought about the scene at the market. He felt a bit too ostentatious with his wealth, but that didn't matter since no one knew who he really was. The ability to change appearances was indeed useful.
“ zhè yàng ba ， cǐ cǎo wǒ xiān yù dìng le ， míng tiān zhè ge shí hòu lái qǔ kě yǐ ma ？” lín xuān jiāng zuì hòu shèng xià dì yì bǎi jīng shí jiāo gěi le zhǎng guì 。
“这样吧，此草我先预定了，明天这个时候来取可以吗？”林轩将最后剩下地一百晶石交给了掌柜。
Lin Xuan aimed for the Foundation Establishment stage and needed this perseverance grass. As for not having enough crystals, he had already thought of a solution. He now just needed to wait six hours so he could use the Heaven Demon Mimicry Technique again. While waiting, Lin Xuan took out the jade cylinder from his pocket and delved into it.
“ hǎo ， fàng xīn ， wǒ míng tiān děng zhe dào yǒu guāng lín 。”
“好，放心，我明天等着道友光临。”
Finding a suitable spot, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and began circulating spirit energy. The improved jade cylinder was indeed magical, but as an initial technique, it required no effort for him to master easily.
chū le hǎi lóng gé 。 lín xuān méi yǒu zuò sī háo de tíng liú ， zài yòng shén shí chá kàn le yī xià wú rén gēn zōng yǐ hòu ， tā lì kè dùn guāng fēi zǒu ， xiǎo bàn gè shí chén hòu 。 lín xuān zài yī chù huāng pì de wú rén de dì diǎn là le xià lái ， cǐ shí tiān mó nǐ róng shù yǐ jīng shī xiào ， tā huī fù le zhēn zhèng de róng mào 。
出了海龙阁。林轩没有做丝毫的停留，在用神识查看了一下无人跟踪以后，他立刻遁光飞走，小半个时辰后。林轩在一处荒僻的无人的地点落了下来，此时天魔拟容术已经失效，他恢复了真正的容貌。
Next, he took out the pill book and started reading carefully. Six hours passed unnoticed.
bì shàng yǎn jīng ， sī suǒ le yī xià zài fāng shì zhōng de qíng xíng ， píng xīn ér lùn ， zì jǐ biǎo xiàn dé yǒu diǎn cái dà qì cū ， dàn méi yǒu guān xì 。 fǎn zhèng duì fāng yě méi yǒu jiàn guò zhēn zhèng de zì jǐ 。 zhè yì róng de gōng fǎ què shí yòng chǔ jí dà 。
闭上眼睛，思索了一下在坊市中的情形，平心而论，自己表现得有点财大气粗，但没有关系。反正对方也没有见过真正的自己。这易容的功法确实用处极大。
Lin Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the sky. Night had fallen, but that didn't matter since the market operated for twelve hours a day. He used the Heaven Demon Mimicry Technique to change his appearance again before flying back.
duì yú zhù jī ， lín xuān zhì zài bì děi 。 suǒ yǐ zhè héng xīn cǎo shì yí dìng yào de ， zhì yú jīng shí bù gòu ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐ jīng yǒu le xiǎng fǎ ， xiàn zài yào zuò dì ， jiù shì děng shàng liù gè shí chén ， yǐ biàn chóng xīn shī zhǎn tiān mó nǐ róng shù ， zhè gōng fǎ hǎo shì hǎo ， jiù shì měi cì yòng le ， dōu yào děng shàng yī duàn shí jiān ， zhe shí yǒu xiē má fán 。
对于筑基，林轩志在必得。所以这恒心草是一定要的，至于晶石不够，林轩心中已经有了想法，现在要做地，就是等上六个时辰，以便重新施展天魔拟容术，这功法好是好，就是每次用了，都要等上一段时间，着实有些麻烦。
"Immortal Master."
dāng rán ， zhè duàn kòng xián de shí jiān ， lín xuān yě bú huì bái bái làng fèi ， tā cóng huái lǐ qǔ chū yù tǒng jiǎn ， jiāng shén shí zhù rù jìn rù ， xì xì de yuè dú le qǐ lái 。
当然，这段空闲的时间，林轩也不会白白浪费，他从怀里取出玉筒简，将神识注入进入，细细的阅读了起来。
This time, he was greeted by a young girl around seventeen or eighteen years old. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was very perceptive and also an outer door disciple of the Dragon Sea Sect.
rán hòu lín xuān jiù zhǎo le yí gè dì fāng ， pán xī zuò xià ， zhào zhe yùn zhuàn líng lì le ， zhè gǎi liáng hòu de yù tǒng jiǎn suī rán shén qí ， dàn bì jìng zhǐ shì zuì chū jiē de gōng fǎ ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān bìng méi yǒu fèi shén me lì ， jiù hěn qīng yì de zhǎng wò 。
然后林轩就找了一个地方，盘膝坐下，照着运转灵力了，这改良后的玉筒简虽然神奇，但毕竟只是最初阶的功法，所以林轩并没有费什么力，就很轻易的掌握。
"I want to rent a shop here. Where should I go to handle the paperwork?"
rán hòu lín xuān yòu qǔ chū dān shū ， kāi shǐ xì xì yuè dú ， bù zhī bù jué ， liù gè shí chén jiù guò qù le 。
然后林轩又取出丹书，开始细细阅读，不知不觉，六个时辰就过去了。
Without waiting for her to ask, Lin Xuan directly stated his requirements.
lín xuān tái qǐ tóu ， kàn kàn tiān sè ， yè mù yǐ jīng jiàng lín ， dàn méi yǒu guān xì ， nà fāng shì nǎi shì shí èr gè shí chén ， quán tiān yíng yè ， shī zhǎn tiān mó nǐ róng shù chóng xīn biàn huàn le yī fù róng mào ， rán hòu lín xuān dùn guāng fēi le huí qù 。“ xiān shī 。”
林轩抬起头，看看天色，夜幕已经降临，但没有关系，那坊市乃是十二个时辰，全天营业，施展天魔拟容术重新变换了一副容貌，然后林轩遁光飞了回去。“仙师。”
"Come with me if you wish to set up a stall."
zhè cì zhāo hū tā de shì yī miào líng shào nǚ ， shí qī bā suì nián jì ， suī rán bìng bú shì hěn piào liàng ， dàn què shì shí fēn jī líng dì yàng zi ， tóng yàng shì hǎi lóng mén de wài mén dì zǐ 。
这次招呼他的是一妙龄少女，十七八岁年纪，虽然并不是很漂亮，但却是十分机灵地样子，同样是海龙门的外门弟子。
The girl led the way while Lin Xuan followed at a steady pace. After navigating through numerous pavilions and buildings, they arrived at a small courtyard.
“ wǒ xiǎng zài zhè ér zū yī jiān pù miàn ， yīng gāi zài nǎ lǐ bàn lǐ shǒu xù 。” bù yòng shào nǚ xiāng xún ， lín xuān jiù zhí jiē shuō chū le zì jǐ de yāo qiú 。
“我想在这儿租一间铺面，应该在哪里办理手续。”不用少女相询，林轩就直接说出了自己的要求。
"This is where it is."
“ nín yào bǎi tān ， xiān shī qǐng gēn wǒ lái 。”
“您要摆摊，仙师请跟我来。”
The girl bowed and gestured for him to enter. Inside, there were five or six cultivators sitting or standing around.
shào nǚ zǒu zài qián miàn ， lín xuān bù xú bù huǎn de gēn zhe ， zài qī wān bā guǎi chuān guò liǎo wú shù tíng tái lóu gé yǐ hòu ， jiāng lín xuān dài dào le yī xiǎo xiǎo dì yuàn luò ：“ jiù shì zhè lǐ le 。”
少女走在前面，林轩不徐不缓的跟着，在七弯八拐穿过了无数亭台楼阁以后，将林轩带到了一小小地院落：“就是这里了。”
Two were at the early Flexible Spirit stage, two at the middle stage, and Lin Xuan was pleased—his newly learned Spirit Eye Technique had proven effective. He could easily determine their cultivation levels without needing to use it.
shào nǚ fú le yī fù ， zuò le gè qǐng de shǒu shì ， lín xuān zǒu dào yuàn zi lǐ ， zhǐ jiàn lǐ miàn huò zuò huò zhàn de gòng yǒu wǔ liù gè xiū shì 。
少女福了一副，做了个请的手势，林轩走到院子里，只见里面或坐或站的共有五六个修士。
However, when his gaze fell on the last cultivator, Lin Xuan's pupils constricted slightly. He couldn't tell anything about him.
qí zhōng liǎng gè líng dòng qián qī ， liǎng gè líng dòng zhōng qī ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， zhè xīn xué de líng yǎn shù guǒ rán yǒu xiào ， bù yòng tè yì shī zhǎn ， jiù néng qīng yì kàn chū duì fāng de xiū wèi 。
其中两个灵动前期，两个灵动中期，林轩心中一喜，这新学的灵眼术果然有效，不用特意施展，就能轻易看出对方的修为。
The old man looked to be in his fifties or sixties with a kind face and gentle eyes, but Lin Xuan could not determine his cultivation level. Could he be at the Foundation Establishment stage?
rán ér dāng tā jiāng mù guāng luò zài zuì hòu yí gè xiū shì shēn shàng shí ， lín xuān de tóng kǒng què wēi wēi shōu suō ， kàn bù chū lái 。
然而当他将目光落在最后一个修士身上时，林轩的瞳孔却微微收缩，看不出来。
With this thought, Lin Xuan adopted a respectful expression on his face, even though he didn't necessarily respect him.
zhè shì yí gè dà yuē wǔ liù shí suì de lǎo zhě ， cí méi shàn mù ， gěi rén dì yìn xiàng hěn hé ǎi ， kě zì jǐ què kàn bù chū tā dì xiū wèi ， nán dào shì zhù jī qī de xiū zhēn zhě ？
这是一个大约五六十岁的老者，慈眉善目，给人地印象很和蔼，可自己却看不出他地修为，难道是筑基期的修真者？
"Salutations, senior."
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī fù gōng jìng dì biǎo qíng ， suī rán tā xīn lǐ wèi bì zūn jìng duì fāng ， dàn miàn zi hái shì yào zuò zú de 。
念及至此，林轩脸上露出一副恭敬地表情，虽然他心里未必尊敬对方，但面子还是要做足的。
"Haha, you don't need to be so formal. Everyone here is a guest. Are you looking to rent a shop?" "Yes, but I only want it for one day. Is that okay?"
“ cān jiàn qián bèi 。”
“参见前辈。”
"Of course," the old man said calmly. "However, short-term rentals are more expensive. The daily rental fee is five crystals."
“ hē hē ， xiǎo yǒu bù bǐ duō lǐ ， lái zhè ér de dōu shì kè ， nǐ shì xiǎng yào zū yī jiān pù miàn ma ？”“ shì de ， bù guò wǎn bèi zhǐ zū yī tiān ， bù zhī dào kě bù kě yǐ ？”
“呵呵，小友不比多礼，来这儿的都是客，你是想要租一间铺面吗？”“是的，不过晚辈只租一天，不知道可不可以？”
"Alright."
“ yī tiān ？” lǎo zhě shén sè bù biàn ：“ dāng rán xíng ， zhǐ bù guò zū duǎn qī de huà ， xiāng duì lái shuō huì bǐ jiào guì ， měi tiān de zū jīn shì wǔ kuài jīng shí 。”
“一天？”老者神色不变：“当然行，只不过租短期的话，相对来说会比较贵，每天的租金是五块晶石。”
Lin Xuan quickly completed the paperwork and received a waist badge and an improved jade cylinder from the old man.
“ xíng 。”
“行。”
"This waist badge serves as proof of your shop lease, and the instructions in this jade cylinder will guide you on how to operate your stall. I wish you good business."
hěn kuài lín xuān jiù bàn hǎo le shǒu xù ， lǎo zhě jiāng yī kuài yāo pái hé yí gè yù tǒng jiǎn jiāo dào tā de shǒu lǐ ：“ yāo pái shì zū yòng pù miàn de píng zhèng ， yù tǒng jiǎn lǐ yǒu bǎi tān de zhù yì shì xiàng ， zhù xiǎo yǒu shēng yì xìng lóng 。”
很快林轩就办好了手续，老者将一块腰牌和一个玉筒简交到他的手里：“腰牌是租用铺面的凭证，玉筒简里有摆摊的注意事项，祝小友生意兴隆。”
"Thank you, senior," Lin Xuan said happily before leaving.
“ xiè qián bèi 。” lín xuān lè hē hē de zǒu le 。
“谢前辈。”林轩乐呵呵的走了。
After exiting the courtyard, Lin Xuan's smile gradually faded. He inserted his spirit consciousness into the jade cylinder and read through it. Following its guidance, he arrived at his shop.
chū le xiǎo yuàn ， lín xuān liǎn shàng de xiào róng yī fēn fēn xiāo shī ， jiāng shén shí zhù rù yù tǒng jiǎn lǐ ， liú lǎn le yī biàn ， rán hòu àn zhào shàng miàn de zhǐ yǐn ， lái dào zì jǐ de pù miàn 。
出了小院，林轩脸上的笑容一分分消失，将神识注入玉筒简里，浏览了一遍，然后按照上面的指引，来到自己的铺面。
"Brother Zhang, did you hear? A new shop selling Essence Cleansing Pills has opened in the southwest corner of the market."
“ zhāng xiōng ， nǐ tīng shuō le ma ， zài fāng shì de xī nán jiǎo ， kāi le yī jiā zhuān mén chū shòu xǐ suǐ dān de pù miàn 。”
“张兄，你听说了吗，在坊市的西南角，开了一家专门出售洗髓丹的铺面。”
"Friend Daoist Li also knows about this. Let's go quickly before all the medicinal herbs are sold out."
“ lǐ dào yǒu yě zhī dào le ， kuài zǒu ba ， wǎn le líng yào jiù méi yǒu le 。”
“李道友也知道了，快走吧，晚了灵药就没有了。”
Half an hour later, low-grade cultivators in the market heard a piece of news: a new shop named "Pill Room" had just opened.
bàn gè shí chén yǐ hòu ， fāng shì lǐ miàn de dī jiē xiū zhēn zhě ， jiù dōu tīng shuō le yí gè xiāo xī ， yí gè qǔ míng “ dān fáng ” de xīn pù miàn kāi zhāng 。
半个时辰以后，坊市里面的低阶修真者，就都听说了一个消息，一个取名“丹房”的新铺面开张。
Although it wasn't particularly eye-catching from the outside, it sold Essence Cleansing Pills that could strengthen and enhance the cultivation abilities of low-grade cultivators.
suī rán cóng biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， gāi pù miàn bìng bù qǐ yǎn ， kě tā chū shòu de què shì kě yǐ gù běn péi yuán ， tí shēng dī jiē xiū zhēn zhě gōng lì de xǐ suǐ dān 。
虽然从表面上看，该铺面并不起眼，可它出售的却是可以固本培元，提升低阶修真者功力的洗髓丹。
Compared to the remote region of Yanzhou, the level of cultivation in Youzhou was indeed higher, with various materials, talismans, and spirit artifacts available at the market. However, there were no medicinal pills to boost one's strength.
hé dì chǔ biān chuí de yǎn zhōu xiāng bǐ ， yōu zhōu de xiū zhēn shuǐ píng què shí yào gāo jǐ gè děng jí ， fāng shì yě chū shòu gè zhǒng gè yàng de cái liào ， fú ， líng qì yīng yǒu jìn yǒu ， dàn què dú dú huò quē kě yǐ tí shēng gōng lì de xiān dān 。
和地处边陲的兖州相比，幽州的修真水平确实要高几个等级，坊市也出售各种各样的材料，符，灵器应有尽有，但却独独或缺可以提升功力的仙丹。
While some shops did sell medicinal pills, they mostly focused on healing or strengthening purposes, which weren't particularly attractive to cultivators.
suī rán yǒu xiē pù miàn yě mǎi dān ， dàn dōu shì xiē liáo shāng ， huò zhě qiáng shēn jiàn tǐ lèi de ， duì yú xiū zhēn zhě lái shuō ， xī yǐn lì bù dà 。
虽然有些铺面也买丹，但都是些疗伤，或者强身健体类的，对于修真者来说，吸引力不大。
Essence Cleansing Pills, however, were different. Although only suitable for Flexible Spirit stage cultivators, they could significantly enhance one's abilities. Even the major sects in Youzhou had limited supplies of medicinal pills for their disciples, making this small shop very popular from the start.
xǐ suǐ dān jiù bù yí yàng le ， suī rán jǐn jǐn shì shì yòng yú líng dòng qī xiū zhēn zhě ， dàn què shí kě yǐ tí shēng shí lì ， jí biàn shì yōu zhōu de gè dà mén pài ， néng gòu tí gōng gěi běn mén dì zǐ de dān yào ， yī yàng shí fēn yǒu xiàn ， suǒ yǐ zhè xiǎo pù miàn yī kāi zhāng ， shēng yì jiù biàn dé fēi cháng huǒ bào 。
洗髓丹就不一样了，虽然仅仅是适用于灵动期修真者，但确实可以提升实力，即便是幽州的各大门派，能够提供给本门弟子的丹药，一样十分有限，所以这小铺面一开张，生意就变得非常火爆。
Due to high demand and short supply, the price of lower-grade Essence Cleansing Pills skyrocketed, rising from one crystal per pill to three crystals.
gōng bù yìng qiú ， dān yào de jià gé yě jié jié pān shēng ， xià pǐn xǐ suǐ dān cóng yī kuài jīng shí yī lì yì zhí chǎo dào le sān kuài jīng shí 。
供不应求，丹药的价格也节节攀升，下品洗髓丹从一块晶石一粒一直炒到了三块晶石。
The shop didn't have any assistants; instead, a pale-faced middle-aged man served as the shopkeeper. Despite the booming business, he remained expressionless, which made many suspicious cultivators hesitate before deciding whether to act.
pù miàn méi yǒu huǒ jì ， zhǎng guì shì yī liǎn sè là huáng de zhōng nián rén ， miàn duì huǒ bào de shēng yì ， què yì zhí miàn wú biǎo qíng ， tā nà chén wěn de yàng zi ， ràng bù shǎo xīn huái bù guǐ de xiū zhēn zhě dōu yǒu xiē fàn dí gū ， yóu yù zhe gāi bù gāi dòng shǒu 。
铺面没有伙计，掌柜是一脸色蜡黄的中年人，面对火爆的生意，却一直面无表情，他那沉稳的样子，让不少心怀不轨的修真者都有些犯嘀咕，犹豫着该不该动手。
This person was Lin Xuan, using the Heaven Demon Mimicry Technique to conceal his appearance. He wasn't just buying perseverance grass; after successfully establishing a Foundation, Essence Cleansing Pills would no longer be useful. It was better to sell them and use the proceeds to buy more crystals.
cǐ rén zì rán shì lín xuān ， zhǐ bù guò shì yòng tiān mó nǐ róng shù yǎn gài le róng yán ， tā zhī suǒ yǐ zhè me zuò dào yě bù jǐn jǐn shì yīn wèi yào gòu mǎi héng xīn cǎo ， ér shì zhù jī chéng gōng yǐ hòu xǐ suǐ dān jiù méi yǒu yòng chǔ le a ， yǔ qí làng fèi diào ， hái bù rú ràng tā men fā huī yú rè ， wèi zì jǐ huàn qǔ zú gòu duō de jīng shí 。
此人自然是林轩，只不过是用天魔拟容术掩盖了容颜，他之所以这么做倒也不仅仅是因为要购买恒心草，而是筑基成功以后洗髓丹就没有用处了啊，与其浪费掉，还不如让它们发挥余热，为自己换取足够多的晶石。
Therefore, besides keeping some waste pills for refining high-grade pills, Lin Xuan sold all lower-grade pills. However, he kept middle-grade pills since even the three major sects in Youzhou had limited supplies of middle-grade refined pills, making it too conspicuous if he bought them.
suǒ yǐ lín xuān chú le liú xià tí chún shàng pǐn dān xū yào yòng de fèi dān zhī wài ， qí tā de xià pǐn dān quán dōu biàn mài ， dāng rán ， zhōng pǐn dān tā yě liú le xià lái ， yuán yīn wú tā ， jiù suàn shì yōu zhōu de sān dà jù tóu mén pài ， měi yuè tí chún de zhōng pǐn dān yě shù liàng yǒu xiàn ， zì jǐ rú guǒ mǎi de huà ， tài zhā yǎn 。
所以林轩除了留下提纯上品丹需要用的废丹之外，其他的下品丹全都变卖，当然，中品丹他也留了下来，原因无他，就算是幽州的三大巨头门派，每月提纯的中品丹也数量有限，自己如果买的话，太扎眼。
In cultivation, one must be discreet to survive.
qiāng dǎ chū tóu niǎo ， zài xiū zhēn jiè shēng cún ， yào xué huì dī diào 。
枪打出头鸟，在修真界生存，要学会低调。
Although renting a shop for an entire day took only half an hour, Lin Xuan sold all his lower-grade pills and ended up with nearly five thousand crystals.
pù zi suī rán zū le yī zhěng tiān ， qí shí lín xuān zhǐ huā fèi le bàn gè shí chén ， jiù jiāng shēn shàng de xià pǐn dān biàn mài yī kōng ， yóu yú hòu miàn jià gé yuè chǎo yuè gāo ， suǒ yǐ shōu huò yuǎn bǐ xiǎng xiàng de fēng fù ， dé dào de jīng shí jū rán yǒu jìn wǔ qiān kuài zhī duō 。
铺子虽然租了一整天，其实林轩只花费了半个时辰，就将身上的下品丹变卖一空，由于后面价格越炒越高，所以收获远比想象的丰富，得到的晶石居然有近五千块之多。
"Everyone, we've run out of medicinal pills. Please come early tomorrow."
“ gè wèi ， dān yào xiàn zài yǐ jīng méi yǒu le ， dà jiā míng tiān qǐng zǎo 。”
“各位，丹药现在已经没有了，大家明天请早。”
The cultivators sighed as they left after hearing the yellow-faced middle-aged man's words. They had missed their chance to buy medicinal pills that could strengthen their cultivation abilities. After some hesitation, they reluctantly dispersed.
tīng le huáng liǎn zhōng nián rén de huà ， xiū shì men āi shēng tàn qì ， háo bù róng yì yǒu rén mǎi gù běn péi yuán ， zēng jìn gōng lì de dān yào ， jū rán lái wǎn le méi yǒu mǎi dào ， mó cèng le bàn shǎng ， cái yī yī bù shě de sàn qù 。
听了黄脸中年人的话，修士们唉声叹气，毫不容易有人买固本培元，增进功力的丹药，居然来晚了没有买到，磨蹭了半晌，才依依不舍的散去。
Once everyone was gone, Lin Xuan closed his shop door but didn't show any joy from making a large profit. While crystals were useful, they also brought trouble. Inside the market, he was protected by the Dragon Sea Sect, but once outside, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't have evil intentions.
A moment later, Lin Xuan withdrew his spirit consciousness from the jade cylinder and took a deep breath. "I'll take this cultivation technique."
He stored the Earth Fire Talisman, the pill book, and the new Spirit Eye Technique in his storage bracelet. With everything he wanted to buy now complete, Lin Xuan was about to leave the Dragon Sea Pavilion when the shopkeeper called him back: "Friend Daoist, wait a moment."
Lin Xuan paused, slightly surprised. "Is there something else?"
The fat man hesitated for a moment and then said, "Do you want to refine pills? How confident are you in your abilities?"
Lin Xuan frowned but remained silent.
"Please don't misunderstand me. I'm just asking because this store has an herb that can significantly increase the success rate of refining pills."
"Such a thing exists?" Lin Xuan's expression showed some surprise as well. Although he was only at the Flexible Spirit Period, he had been on the cultivation path for four years and had heard enough about the world to know that no one had ever mentioned an herb that could boost the success rate of refining pills.
"The friend Daoist need not worry. I swear by my word; this is a genuine discovery and there are very few such herbs available."
Lin Xuan was still skeptical, but for a cultivator, pills were crucial for enhancing cultivation and breaking through barriers, making them extremely valuable. However, the process of refining pills often failed, so if something could increase success rates, it would have caused a stir in the cultivation world.
"I won't lie to you; this herb is only effective for Essence Cleansing Pills," the fat man explained, sensing Lin Xuan's doubts. "This perseverance grass can only boost the success rate of refining Essence Cleansing Pills, which makes it perfect for your level."
"Doesn't matter if it's a lower-grade or higher-grade Essence Cleansing Pill?"
"Yes, regardless of whether you're refining a lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, or even top-grade pill. This herb can increase the success rate," the fat man boasted confidently. "I've already told you that our items may be slightly more expensive, but their quality is guaranteed."
Seeing how confident the shopkeeper was and considering the good deal he had just gotten at the Dragon Sea Pavilion, Lin Xuan became interested. He had tens of thousands of waste pills in his possession, so there would be no problem with high-grade pills, but silver moon flowers and flowery grass were scarce.
"Alright, I'll wait until tomorrow to rent a shop," said Lin Xuan as he decided on the spot. "I need six hours to prepare."
Lin Xuan left the Dragon Sea Pavilion without lingering. After confirming that no one was following him with his spirit consciousness, he immediately flew away. Half an hour later, Lin Xuan landed in a remote area where it was deserted. The Heaven Demon Mimicry Technique had expired, and he returned to his true appearance.
Closing his eyes, he thought about the scene at the market. He felt a bit too ostentatious with his wealth, but that didn't matter since no one knew who he really was. The ability to change appearances was indeed useful.
Lin Xuan aimed for the Foundation Establishment stage and needed this perseverance grass. As for not having enough crystals, he had already thought of a solution. He now just needed to wait six hours so he could use the Heaven Demon Mimicry Technique again. While waiting, Lin Xuan took out the jade cylinder from his pocket and delved into it.
Finding a suitable spot, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and began circulating spirit energy. The improved jade cylinder was indeed magical, but as an initial technique, it required no effort for him to master easily.
Next, he took out the pill book and started reading carefully. Six hours passed unnoticed.
Lin Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the sky. Night had fallen, but that didn't matter since the market operated for twelve hours a day. He used the Heaven Demon Mimicry Technique to change his appearance again before flying back.
"Immortal Master."
This time, he was greeted by a young girl around seventeen or eighteen years old. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was very perceptive and also an outer door disciple of the Dragon Sea Sect.
"I want to rent a shop here. Where should I go to handle the paperwork?"
Without waiting for her to ask, Lin Xuan directly stated his requirements.
"Come with me if you wish to set up a stall."
The girl led the way while Lin Xuan followed at a steady pace. After navigating through numerous pavilions and buildings, they arrived at a small courtyard.
"This is where it is."
The girl bowed and gestured for him to enter. Inside, there were five or six cultivators sitting or standing around.
Two were at the early Flexible Spirit stage, two at the middle stage, and Lin Xuan was pleased—his newly learned Spirit Eye Technique had proven effective. He could easily determine their cultivation levels without needing to use it.
However, when his gaze fell on the last cultivator, Lin Xuan's pupils constricted slightly. He couldn't tell anything about him.
The old man looked to be in his fifties or sixties with a kind face and gentle eyes, but Lin Xuan could not determine his cultivation level. Could he be at the Foundation Establishment stage?
With this thought, Lin Xuan adopted a respectful expression on his face, even though he didn't necessarily respect him.
"Salutations, senior."
"Haha, you don't need to be so formal. Everyone here is a guest. Are you looking to rent a shop?" "Yes, but I only want it for one day. Is that okay?"
"Of course," the old man said calmly. "However, short-term rentals are more expensive. The daily rental fee is five crystals."
"Alright."
Lin Xuan quickly completed the paperwork and received a waist badge and an improved jade cylinder from the old man.
"This waist badge serves as proof of your shop lease, and the instructions in this jade cylinder will guide you on how to operate your stall. I wish you good business."
"Thank you, senior," Lin Xuan said happily before leaving.
After exiting the courtyard, Lin Xuan's smile gradually faded. He inserted his spirit consciousness into the jade cylinder and read through it. Following its guidance, he arrived at his shop.
"Brother Zhang, did you hear? A new shop selling Essence Cleansing Pills has opened in the southwest corner of the market."
"Friend Daoist Li also knows about this. Let's go quickly before all the medicinal herbs are sold out."
Half an hour later, low-grade cultivators in the market heard a piece of news: a new shop named "Pill Room" had just opened.
Although it wasn't particularly eye-catching from the outside, it sold Essence Cleansing Pills that could strengthen and enhance the cultivation abilities of low-grade cultivators.
Compared to the remote region of Yanzhou, the level of cultivation in Youzhou was indeed higher, with various materials, talismans, and spirit artifacts available at the market. However, there were no medicinal pills to boost one's strength.
While some shops did sell medicinal pills, they mostly focused on healing or strengthening purposes, which weren't particularly attractive to cultivators.
Essence Cleansing Pills, however, were different. Although only suitable for Flexible Spirit stage cultivators, they could significantly enhance one's abilities. Even the major sects in Youzhou had limited supplies of medicinal pills for their disciples, making this small shop very popular from the start.
Due to high demand and short supply, the price of lower-grade Essence Cleansing Pills skyrocketed, rising from one crystal per pill to three crystals.
The shop didn't have any assistants; instead, a pale-faced middle-aged man served as the shopkeeper. Despite the booming business, he remained expressionless, which made many suspicious cultivators hesitate before deciding whether to act.
This person was Lin Xuan, using the Heaven Demon Mimicry Technique to conceal his appearance. He wasn't just buying perseverance grass; after successfully establishing a Foundation, Essence Cleansing Pills would no longer be useful.
