“This sword is too expensive, can’t you lower the price a bit?”
“两万块下品灵石我就买下来。”
The shop owner was a middle aged man of around fourty years old with a beard below his chin, he shook his head, “Thirty thousand low ranked spirit stones, no more no less.”
“两万四千块下品灵石如何，这是我的全部身家了。”
The man still shook his head.
见状，想要买下宝剑的几人无奈，他们虽然是抱元境后期武者，但身上的下品灵石最多两三万块左右，这已经十分富有了，武城之外，绝大部分的抱元境后期武者连一万块下品灵石都未必能拿出来，何况自己修炼也要大量的下品灵石，明显不能全部花掉。
“Thirty thousand pieces of low ranked spirit stones, I’ll take it.”
叶尘和慕容倾城并肩走过来。
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng then came along.
斯文中年打量了叶尘一眼，怀疑道：“你要买？”他混迹武城多年，清楚能拿出三万块下品灵石的基本上是一些老牌抱元境后期武者，对方年纪轻轻，就算出自大宗门也绝对没有这么多下品灵石，除非是宗门中的顶尖天才，得到许多宝物与宗门兑换。
Ye Chen did not say a word, he instantly took out three chests containing spirit stones from his storage ring.
“好，星痕剑归你了。”斯文中年面露喜色，他最近看上一套地级低阶武学，里面包含轻功，掌法，以及功法，单本卖的话或许只要一万多下品灵石，但是合起来卖，总价值高达七万，现在还缺两万，至于卖星痕剑多出来的一万下品灵石是用来给自己修炼的。
“Tsk tsk, looks like this little guy here’s got too much money! Thirty thousand and he forks it up.”
“我敢肯定，他必定是大宗门的天才弟子，进入过上古传承之地，否则以他的年纪，就算积累四五年也未必有这么多灵石。”
“Yeap, this makes sense, just look at the masked girl on his right. It seemingly looks as if she is a Mid/Peak Clasping Yuan Realm user, but the Qi that emanates from her appears to be greater than ours, meaning that she must have really honed her power. The level of her Qi is frightening, seeing those two together, that is definitely unnerving.”
附近的抱元境后期武者议论纷纷，有的露出惊讶之色，有的面现贪婪，有的满脸羡慕。
Murong Qingcheng said in a quiet tone, “It’s too expensive, the best low ranked treasures are worth no more than twenty thousand let alone twenty five thousand.”
叶尘不在意道：“我现在不缺灵石，缺的是宝剑，无妨。”
There were only two four metred long Astral Marked Swords left on the crystal counter, the were unshheathed, which allowed it to let out a glow so bright it resembled the stars in the heavens. Shining like that, it was extremely uncommon. Ye Chen took one look and saw that it was the best out of the low ranked swords, even slightly better than the Air Splitting Blade that he got at first. If it’s not purchased now, then someone else will come along and buy it, and it will be too late for any regrets.
“慢着，这把星痕剑我要。”
The middle aged man was about to give Ye Chen the Astral Marked Sword when a hand was raised and stopped him, they heard a faint voice.
众人望去，出手阻拦的是一位面容阴翳的中年，对方阴沟鼻，三角眼，面容枯瘦，身材单薄的仿佛一阵风就能吹倒，只是察觉到他身上极度阴冷的气息，一个个不敢小视。
“This person is the Sky Eagle Castle Martial School’s Master-----the Yuan Zhong Bo the Blood Eagle.” Those that could recognise the thin person’s identity, they immediately fell silent.
“是他，这下子有好戏看了，原宗博可是老牌抱元境后期武者，普通抱元境后期武者不是他一剑之敌。”
“If I can’t get the Astral Marked sword, then coming here to see the fun is alright too.”
“嘿嘿！”
The crowd began to make way, they stood near to observe the situation.
叶尘脸色一沉，目光看向斯文中年，现在就看对方的态度，如果他坚持要把星痕剑卖给自己，一切好说。
The middle aged man removed Yuan Zhong Bo’s palm and told Ye Chen, “Kid, the sword is yours, what you use it for has nothing to do with me.”
松下一口气，叶尘接过星痕剑。
Hu!
原宗博目光阴冷的看向斯文中年，“很好，居然不给我元宗博的面子，看来你很自信。”
There was a glint of muder in his eyes, which if it wasn’t for the fact that if this wasn’t the Martial City, which prohibits fighting, Yuan Zhong Bo would have already killed the middled aged man. Where else could this sort of nonsense be pulled, and now the Astral Marked Sword is in Ye Chen’s hands, even with constant threats the middle aged man did not have any of it left.
侧过头看向叶尘，原宗博道：“小兄弟，开个价，把这把星痕剑卖给我，以后有话好说。”
Keeping the blade, Ye Chen replied, “Apologies, but it’s not for sale.”
“你可要想清楚再说。”原宗博眼睛眯了起来。
“This certainly is a clear outcome, and now we have some business to attend to, goodbye.” Ye Chen did not want to cause any trouble with the ZhongBo family, these were not the kind of people who could be persuaded out of their goal, so talking would not amount to anything, but merely a pure waste of time.
“小子，你找死，不要以为武城能保护你一辈子，只要出了武城，我原宗博有的是办法让你交出星痕剑，当然，那时候可不是一把星痕剑可以解决问题，怎么也要收点利息。”原宗博气的差点吐血，连续吃瘪让他脸色微微泛红，旋即手掌紧握，一根根青筋凸显。
With regards to Yuan Zhong Bo’s words, Ye Chen pretended as if not to hear them. Once out of the city, everyone had to depend on their own capabilities, and if a few words would scare him, then what was the point of coming to pratice. Staying in the Sky Cloud Martial School, isn’t any better, but at least there would be Astral Reaching Real users who would provide protection.
望着叶尘的背影，众人讶然。
“This kid’s not playing, he didn’t give a damn about Yuan Zhong Bo.
“不过原宗博想要击杀他也难啊！他旁边的蒙面女子很强，两人联手，说不定能伤到原宗博。”
“Who would depend on a woman.”
把众人的话听在耳中，原宗博冷哼一声，他自然看出慕容倾城的强大，不过他有信心杀了叶尘，然后从容离开，而且他的眼光何等老辣，慕容倾城和叶尘的关系也就是普通朋友而已，总会分开的，那时，他要对方死无葬生之地，这就是得罪他原宗博的代价。
Listening to all the people talking, Yuan Zhong Bo heard a distinct sound, he knew that Murong Qingcheng’s was very loud. However, he only had the confidence to kill Ye Chen, and then calmly leave. His eyes showed a sense of sophistication, Murong Qingcheng and Ye Chen were only regular friends, and they will eventually part ways. At that moment, he wanted Ye Chen to die without a grave, this would be the punishment for defying Yuan Zhong Bo.
拂了拂衣袖，原宗博转身离开，他要找些人监视叶尘，免得对方偷偷溜走都不知道。
Murong Qingcheng said, “ That Yuan Zhong Bo isn’t going to be easy, based on your strength I estimate it to be slightly inadequate.” she didn’t want to crush Ye Chen, so she used the words ‘slightly inadequate’ instead, which is to say that Ye Chen’s option would be to run whenever he meets Yuan Zhong Bo next, and the eascape part would also be a question as to whether that is possible as well.
“历练不危险才叫没意思，正好加点菜。”叶尘一点不担心，他现在拥有破虚指第三式的修炼方法，又有增幅轻功秘法浮罗三玄诀，只要给他一个月时间，实力必然能更上一层楼，到时哪怕斗不过原宗博，也能让对方大为忌惮，当然，如果修为达到抱元境初期巅峰，那就更有把握了。
“Spoken as it’s true.”
慕容倾城点点头。
After buying the Astral Marked Sword, the two didn’t immediately leave, the trading hall had too many treasures, where some of them probably weren’t even necessary for them.
走着走着，慕容倾城突然停在一座水晶柜台前。
At the crystal counter, a pair of golden gloves were displayed on it. It looked to be very thin, but it emanated an amazing amount of spiritual power.
看到金丝手套的标价，慕容倾城摇摇头，没打算去买。
“This pair of gloves doesn’t look too bad, why not get it,” said Ye Chen
“暂时没这么多下品灵石，以后再说，而且我已经有了一双手套。”作为飞天魔宗二弟子，慕容倾城早就拥有了下品手套，不过和这双金丝手套比起来，明显逊色许多。
“It’s only twenty three thousand pieces of low grade spirit stones, I’ll help you pay for it, think of it as a way of me thanking you for taking me into the Martial City.” Ye Chen simply took out two large chests and three small ones.
“那谢谢了。”慕容倾城修炼的是魔道功法，姓情一点不扭捏。
“DaoChen, why should he help you pay, I’ll give this pair of gloves to you.”
就在这时，一名身穿锦衣的青年抢在叶尘之前，取出下品灵石交给金丝手套的老板。
Looking at this person, Murong Qingcheng could not believe it, “ Second price, what a coincidence!”
“是啊！的确很巧。”青年相貌算不上英俊，不过身上却有着一股皇者之气，他身后跟着四名黑衣老者，一个个修为都不在原宗博之下，为首的那人明显是抱元境后期巅峰武者。
“I still think it doesn’t count, this pair of gloves wasn’t what I intended.”
慕容倾城不打算接受对方的赠送。
The young man turned around, “ Why, didn’t you want to buy it earlier?
“刚才是刚才，现在我不喜欢了，叶尘，我们走。”慕容倾城转身离开，叶尘无奈的跟在她旁边。
The young man gave a forced smile, if it was Ye Chen paying then it’s alright, but the same wouldn’t be accepted if it was him. This was outrageous.
“刘老，你派几个人监视他们，看看那小子和她什么关系。”
“Yes, by your command.” said the leader of the guards in a respective tone.
“最好没关系，否则就不要怨我了。”
