Although Xiao Tao stays in Jinwan Water Pavilion every day, he still knows every move on the rivers and lakes well, and he has a team outside that specializes in finding out the news of the rivers and lakes for him.

In view of Han Yixue's stronger and stronger roots, and she also has a certain ability to protect herself, and Xiao Tao no longer goes out to walk the rivers and lakes, with Xiao Tao in charge, Han Yixue's security has been greatly improved, and there is no need for too many bodyguards, so Xiao Tao divided the Snow Eagle team into two.

Xue Ying led a team of men and horses to continue their original work, escorting Han Yixue in secret, while Sky Cannon led a few masters to walk around the rivers and lakes, acting as Xiao Tao's eyes and ears on the rivers and lakes.

The news that the Xinghui auction was about to be held reached Xiao Tao's ears, and Xiao Tao almost didn't think about it, and immediately decided to participate in the auction.

The reason is very simple, this auction is nominally an auction of antiques, but that is a cover-up, in fact, the auction is a variety of resources collected from the people, and there are some high-level resources, it is the first auction of resources in history.

Although this year's resources are bumper harvest, it does not mean that the resources are not valuable, after all, those resources are rare, once they are put out for auction, it must be a sky-high price, if you want to auction resources in the auction, you can't do it without a strong net worth, and you are not even qualified to enter the auction.

This Starlight auction is not a casual entry, there is a threshold, a ticket is a deposit of 10 million, ordinary people don't have to think about it, this is just a gluttonous feast for the local tyrants.

Xiao Tao is definitely qualified to enter the auction, his net worth is already abundant, with the financial support of Luo Yixi, the income brought to him by that piece of land is huge, and with Han Yixue's proper financial management, his assets have reached 10 billion.

It's just that Xiao Tao likes to be low-key and doesn't like to show up in the business world, and all business occasions are Han Yixue's head, making Han Yixue a well-known real estate developer in Linzhou, and his fame has even spread to the capital, but Xiao Tao enjoys being an invisible rich man, and no one knows that he is the real big boss.

The venue of the auction happened to be in Shanyang City, the capital of Linzhou Province, and many local tyrants and factions from other provinces came to the auction for a while.

The No. 1 villa of Jinwan Water Pavilion is also a gathering of masters, Jinwan Water Pavilion is too close to Shanyang City, the day before the auction, but all the masters or sects who have a friendship with Xiao Tao come to participate in the auction, they all go to Xiao Tao as a guest, and the No. 1 villa is used as a transit station for a temporary rest.

Xiao Tao is also happy to see this, some people haven't seen each other for a long time, and it is best to take this opportunity to get together.

The first to come over was the Shenyin Gate of Beijiang Province, and it was Zhang Qifeng, Fang Baisheng and Shiyan Three Vein Hall Masters who came together, which made Xiao Tao unexpected, but Xiao Tao was also happy for them. The three veins of Xianyin, Imperial Beast and Imperial Weapon have always been mortal enemies, and now giving up infighting and releasing suspicions is definitely a good thing for Shenyinmen, and even for Zhang Jingjing.

Of course, the three veins can make peace, and the biggest credit is definitely Xiao Tao, if it weren't for Xiao Tao, the Shenyin Gate would have been torn apart long ago, and it was even destroyed by the Qilian faction. Therefore, Zhang Qifeng, Fang Baisheng and Shi Yan all have great respect for Xiao Tao.

Zhang Qifeng came to Shanyang, Zhang Jingjing naturally followed, and Zhang Jingjing never let go of the opportunity to meet Xiao Tao.

As soon as Zhang Jingjing entered the door, her apricot eyes widened angrily, and she didn't care that Han Yixue was on her side, she directly grabbed Xiao Tao with a light hammer, blaming Xiao Tao for not going to Jiangbei to see her.

"I don't want to affect your cultivation, otherwise I would have stayed at your house a long time ago. Xiao Tao said with a smile.

"I don't believe it, you deliberately didn't see me, otherwise why wouldn't you even call me?" Zhang Jingjing was still angry, still holding Xiao Tao and hammering, but the punch was getting lighter and lighter, more and more like a young couple flirting.

Although Zhang Qifeng and the others were standing at the door and were not invited into the door for the first time, they didn't feel anything, the two young people hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was normal for them to make amusement and affection. What's more, Zhang Jingjing and Xiao Tao already had a marriage contract, and they were both from the past, so naturally they would not be snubbed by Xiao Tao.

"Girl, don't make trouble, what does it look like in the public?" Tong Lingyun couldn't help but speak.

Tong Lingyun's eyes were a little complicated, she was not very happy to see Xiao Tao and Zhang Jingjing together, but Xiao Tao and Zhang Jingjing had already had a marriage contract, and they were kind to Xianyin, she couldn't find an excuse to regret the marriage, so she had to drag it out like this.

"You go and greet my dad, and I'll clean you up later. Zhang Jingjing pouted to Xiao Tao, turned her head to say hello to Han Yixue, and then walked straight into the villa with her head held high, like a hostess, and directly regarded Villa No. 1 as her home.

"Jingjing has grown taller, more beautiful, and has the air of a princess. Han Yixue glanced at Xiao Tao and said meaningfully.

"It's a pity that the temper doesn't grow much. Xiao Tao shook his head helplessly, revealing a bitter smile.

Subsequently, Xiao Tao invited Zhang Qifeng and others in, arranged to sit in the hall, and the maid immediately brought tea and candy to greet the guests.

Zhang Qifeng and the other three hall masters all brought gifts, and each gift was given on behalf of their own lineage, thanks to Xiao Tao for fighting for the interests of the Shenyin Sect at the beginning, and buying them some time from Lei Yuan's hands, so that they could get the wealth of the Qilian Sect and support the development of the entire sect.

What Zhang Qifeng sent was a black iron hammer, made of rare Wushan black iron, heavy and powerful, extremely strong, extremely rare.

What Shi Yan sent was a palm-sized jade mirror, the jade mirror had a simple atmosphere, and it was a superb Yin magic weapon, and it was also a transformation magic weapon, which was very rare.

And what Fang Baisheng presented was a spirit tiger tooth, after the last spirit tiger of the royal beast lineage was killed by Shen Yong, there was no spirit tiger cultivated, so there is no need to say how rare the spirit tiger tooth is. It's just that everyone knows that there is no shortage of spirit tiger teeth in Xiao Tao's hands, and if such a precious spirit tiger tooth is sent to someone else, others will naturally be happy, but when it is sent to Xiao Tao, it doesn't show how valuable this gift is.

"We don't have any good things in the Imperial Beast lineage, and the only thing we can do is the Spirit Tiger Tooth. Fang Baisheng's face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "This Spirit Tiger Tooth is also the last of our Imperial Beast lineage, I hope Brother Xiao will not dislike it." ”

"Thank you Hall Master, the Spirit Tiger Tooth is a good thing, I will definitely accept it. Xiao Tao showed a look of great joy, as if he was very lacking in spirit and tiger teeth.

Seeing Xiao Tao's look of such like, Fang Baisheng was a little relieved, he had always had no bottom in his heart before, after all, Xiao Tao had won four spirit tiger teeth, and he gave one more, was it too much, it seemed that the gift was not expensive enough?

"A weapon made of Osan black iron is rare, it is a rare weapon, the black iron is heavy, it needs to be practiced, and it also requires a certain amount of skill to use, which is suitable for martial arts masters who pay equal attention to rigidity and softness. ”

Xiao Tao mentioned the black iron mace and praised it, and then said to Zhang Qifeng, "Hall Master Zhang, thank you for the gift, such a good thing, I want to give it to my apprentice Du Jianghua, he is the most suitable to use this black iron mace." ”

Xiao Tao has to say this, after all, Zhang Qifeng is no one else, that is Zhang Jingjing's father, people sent such a valuable thing over, just hoping to use it for him, and he already has the best weapon, the sword spirit, and he doesn't need this black iron hammer, he wants to transfer it to Du Jianghua, it is best to let Zhang Qifeng know, it is also a respect for Zhang Qifeng.

Otherwise, in the future, Zhang Qifeng will inevitably have some thoughts when he finds out that the black iron is in Du Jianghua's hands.

"The gift has been given to you, it is your thing, you have the power to dominate, and you can give it to whomever you like. Zhang Qifeng had a number in his heart, and he really didn't think so.

"Jiang Hua, this black iron mace is very precious, go and thank Hall Master Zhang. ”

Xiao Tao handed the black iron gong to Du Jianghua, who immediately obeyed his instructions and thanked Zhang Qifeng, "Thank you, Hall Master Zhang." ”

"You don't have to thank me, it's your master's, you can thank your master. Zhang Qifeng waved his hand, stared at Du Jianghua for a while, and then asked Xiao Tao, "What is the origin of your apprentice, the martial arts realm is also very high, and he is in the late stage of the transformation of strength, once he breaks through the watershed of transformation strength, it will be terrible." ”

"Du Jianghua is actually my classmate, he has no background, just learned kung fu from me for a few years. Xiao Tao said with a smile.

"The talent is very high, and it should be cultivated more. Zhang Qifeng said.

"This is a rare jade mirror, my apprentice Zuo Mingjun has just broken through the realm of spiritual consciousness transformation, the transformation has not yet stabilized, and it has not been fixed, this jade mirror is the best as a transformation. Xiao Tao picked up the jade mirror and gave it to Zuo Mingjun next to him.

"Your apprentice's secret method talent is very high, he has already transformed his spiritual consciousness at such a young age, and his future is infinite, so he should also focus on cultivating. Shi Yan could see Zuo Mingjun's realm and potential, and nodded admiringly.

"I'll take this spirit tiger tooth myself, I'm missing a spirit tiger tooth. Xiao Tao put away the spirit tiger tooth.

"Don't you have four spirit tiger teeth, why are you still missing?" asked Zhang Qifeng.

"I want to make up the number of the five elements and create five tiger tooth magic weapons with different attributes. Xiao Tao said.

"Five magic weapons of the same kind but with different attributes? You can practice the Five Elements Technique together, and you want to use the Spirit Tiger Tooth as the pillar magic weapon of the Five Elements Technique?" Shi Yan was a great expert in magic weapons, and immediately understood what Xiao Tao wanted to do.

"I have this plan, but the Five Elements Technique can't be used without high-quality magic weapons, so making up five Spirit Tiger Teeth is a more critical step. Xiao Tao said.

"Then my gift is not shabby. Fang Baisheng laughed, his face was full of joy, Zhang Qifeng and Shi Yan's gifts were all transferred by Xiao Tao, but he felt quite embarrassed to leave his gifts.
