This is a very ordinary bead from the outside, a bit like a jade product, gentle to the touch, but it doesn't look special.

Hearing Xiao Tian's question, the stall owner just glanced at it casually, and then lost interest and said, "Ten taels of gold!"

"Okay, I'll buy it!"

Xiao Tian responded without hesitation, and then bought the beads with one hand of money and one hand.

"What's wrong with this bead?" Ling Yueling asked puzzled.

The two sisters, Lin Sheng and Lin Yi, were also suspicious, in their opinion, this bead was not special, and it was even rougher than many jade beads, and it cost as much as ten taels of gold, which was enough to buy a very good jade bead.

"I don't know!"

Facing the puzzled eyes of the third girl, Xiao Tian shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I just thought it was a little weird and bought it, I can't say what is right or wrong! Anyway, ten taels of gold is nothing to us!"

“......”

The third daughter was speechless for a moment, but Sikong Shaoyang and the person who followed him were a little anxious, and their eyes glanced not far away from time to time, obviously Sikong Shaoyang's father, Sikong He, the head of the Sikong family, should be over there.

"Alright, let's go check it out!"

Xiao Tian smiled, Sikong Shaoyang immediately asked the man to lead the way, and the group immediately walked towards the trade zone.

The trade area can almost be said to be the most lively area in the whole Ezhou City during this period of time, not only is there a lot of people, but it is more likely that there will be something good from time to time to be picked up, which is more attractive to ordinary people than watching the various types of competitions of the event.

Going deep into the trade zone, the sound of bargaining is often heard in each stall, in front of a stall specializing in buying and selling various medicinal materials, there are a few people standing there, led by the head of the Sikong family, Sikong He, but beside this Sikong He, there are not only a few people from the Sikong family, but also a middle-aged man in his forties, Sikong He actually has some flattery and scruples about this person in his expression......

"Xiaoping, who is that? It shouldn't be from our family, right?" Sikong Shaoyang pointed at the middle-aged man and asked with a slight frown.

"Back to the second young master, the little one doesn't know this person!"

Xiao Ping shook his head and replied, "But the first thing the head of the family did when he came here was to invite this person! It seems that his surname is Cao, and I heard the head of the family call him Brother Cao!"

"So, this person is from Ezhou City?"

"No! This man was invited by the head of the house from outside the city! The head of the house once instructed the little ones to be courteous!"

"Strange! I've never heard of any friends in our family here! I looked at my father, and there seemed to be some respect for the man...... What the hell is going on?"

Sikong Shaoyang's brows furrowed, and the sudden appearance of this person made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"Okay, you go first! Don't let people find out, everything must be done to protect yourself!" Sikong Shaoyang waved his hand.

"Yes, little retirement!"

This Xiaoping responded, and walked away quickly with some gratitude, his ordinary appearance would not attract anyone's attention at all.

"Brother Tian, what do you say......"

After this person left, Sikong Shaoyang turned his head to look at Xiao Tian, but the strangeness of Xiao Tian's expression made Sikong Shaoyang very puzzled, "Brother Tian, Brother Tian, what are you thinking?"

"Ah...... It's okay!"

Xiao Tian came back to his senses and said, "I know that person, you don't have to worry! But with that person's existence, there is no need to go over now! Of course, if Shaoyang you believe me, let's go back and wait now, and I'll give you an explanation tomorrow, how about it?"

"Brother Tian said this, I must believe it! But Brother Tian, you must not alarm others, especially ......"

"Especially your father! I know, don't worry!"

The corners of Xiao Tian's mouth drew a slight arc, and then he beckoned to the three girls, hugged Ling'er and turned his head to walk in the direction where he came, but according to what Ling Yueling said, wouldn't he be sorry for himself if he didn't go shopping? Besides, Lin Yi still just came, so let's go shopping with her, what if I really encounter something good?

Xiao Tian didn't object, after seeing the person next to Sikong He, his heart was settled, and he quickly concentrated on accompanying the three girls to go shopping, as for Sikong Shaoyang, he left alone, saying that he was going to gather his subordinates to discuss and discuss, and Xiao Tian didn't stop him.

............

The day passed like this, and when the night fell, there was a little cooler air in the air, and in the shroud of the moonlight in the sky, it added a bit of tranquility.

Xiao Tian stood alone in the courtyard, as if his body was integrated with the surrounding space, and he had a kind of dusty temperament.

I kept recalling the situation of last night in my mind, and my expression was calm.

At this time, on the wall of that courtyard, there was a person who looked at Xiao Tian quietly, without making a sound to disturb, in the faint light of the moonlight, it could be clearly found that this person was actually the middle-aged man who was next to Sikong He who met in the trade area this morning!

A full hour passed, and when he was about to approach the sub-hour, Xiao Tian finally slowly opened his eyes, there was still an inexplicable doubt in his eyes, he always felt that he was a little worse for some reason, and if this point could be completely figured out, it would definitely have immeasurable benefits for his future......

"Evil Youth!"

Seeing Xiao Tian open his eyes, the middle-aged man slowly floated down from the courtyard wall silently, as light as a leaf.

"Subordinate Cao Xian, I've seen the evil boy!" After landing on the ground, the middle-aged man named Cao Xian immediately knelt down towards Xiao Tian.

"Brother Cao doesn't have to be polite, hurry up, there are no outsiders here!"

Xiao Tian hurriedly stepped forward to help Cao Xian up, and said with a smile, "If you are so polite again, it will not be my big brother Cao!"

"Thank you for the evil less!"

Cao Xian didn't insist on saluting, and said with a smile, "I don't know what the evil young summon is about?"

"Brother Cao doesn't have to be so polite!"

Xiao Tian waved his hand and said, "You four heavenly kings were all taught by the old man himself, and they can also be said to be my senior brothers! No matter the old man, the eldest brother or me, they all treat you as relatives! Besides, if you let your subordinates see that you, the dignified Northern Heavenly King, are so polite to me as young as I am, I am afraid it will damage your prestige!"

That's right, this Cao Xian is Cao Xian, the northern Heavenly King of the Four Heavenly Kings of Tianhai Pavilion, who is responsible for all the affairs of Northern Ezhou.

Although the center of gravity of Tianhai Pavilion is basically in the eastern annex state, in addition to Zhongzhou, other countries such as Ezhou in the north, Qingzhou in the south and Lizhou in the west have people who are in charge, and they are collectively known as the Four Heavenly Kings, and their status in Tianhai Pavilion is very high, and they also have strong autonomy.

Cao Xian is the Northern Heavenly King, a master with the early strength of the Tianyuan Realm!

Since coming to Ezhou City, Xiao Tian has not taken the initiative to contact, but he didn't expect to meet today, and it seems that the relationship between Cao Xian and Na Sikong He is not bad.

"Brother Cao, come and sit down!"

Xiao Tian beckoned Cao Xian to sit down, and then said, "Brother Cao seems to have a very good relationship with the head of the Sikong family?"

"What did the evil young man say?"

Cao Xian suddenly smiled and said, "There was an intersection a few years ago, I saved his life, and then I also had some dealings with the Sikong family! This time he specially invited me over, just to let me help him identify some medicinal materials! Hmm...... Listen to him say that he needs to find the Blood Essence Vine and the Three-Leaf Purple Lotus!"

Speaking of this, Cao Xian couldn't help crying and laughing, "How precious are these two things? It seems that we don't even have our headquarters! I had no intention of coming with him, but I couldn't stop him from pleading in a thousand ways, so I agreed to come here together! By the way, why did you suddenly mention Sikong He?"

Hearing this, Xiao Tian didn't answer, but instead asked, "How much does Brother Cao know about the affairs of the Sikong family?"

"Know a little bit about it!"

Cao Xian immediately told him what he knew about the Sikong family, of course, because the Sikong family originally belonged to the scope of the annexed states, what he knew was extremely limited, and of course not as much as Xiao Tian knew.

"I can't hide it, Brother Cao, the second young master of the Sikong family, Sikong Shaoyang, is my friend and brother with my life!, and the reason why Sikong He is looking for those two things is to refine the ancient pill Nirvana Pill and repair the dantian of Sikong Shaolong who was seriously injured by me!" Xiao Tian said without concealment.

"I see!"

Cao Xian bowed his head silently, then raised his eyes and asked, "What does the evil young man need me to do?" Or will I simply send someone to arrest Sikong He and the others and let the evil young man deal with them?"

"Not necessarily!"

Xiao Tian shook his head when he heard this, "Once you do this, I'm afraid your identity will be exposed! This is extremely unfavorable to you and our Tianhai Pavilion! If the old man knows, he won't scold me to death?"

"Then what should I do in my opinion?" Cao Xian asked.

"It's still the same! But if you really find it, please let Brother Cao inform me first, and I must not let that Sikong He get it!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Tian paused, and then continued, "By the way, the three main materials for refining the Nirvana Pill, in addition to the Blood Essence Vine and the Three-Leaf Purple Lotus, there is also the Phoenix Blood Grass!

"Nope!"

Cao Xian said without hesitation, "He just said that he needed two materials, let me help identify them! What do you mean, could it be that Sikong He already has the Phoenix Blood Grass?"

"Maybe that's the case!"

Xiao Tian suddenly thought that the Sikong family had some special relationship with the Dragon Clan, maybe he really already had such a rare treasure as the Phoenix Blood Grass.

"Hmm......"

For a while, Xiao Tian was a little silent, and said, "Brother Cao, in this way, you can help inquire from the side, if Sikong He really has phoenix blood grass, come and notify me!"

"Okay!" Cao Xian nodded without hesitation.

Although he does have some friendship with Sikong He, compared to Xiao Tian, he only has Cao Xian, and Sikong He doesn't have to care at all!

The relationship between them is just a relationship of mutual use, as long as Xiao Tian gives an order, Cao Xian will definitely attack Sikong He, and even the entire Sikong family......

In the Tianhai Pavilion, everyone is united, and there is no kind of open and secret struggle of any other force, it can be said that they are like a family, not to mention that the four heavenly kings, including Cao Xian, and the eight protectors of the Dharma are all taught by the old man Shangguan Yuan himself, they are the juniors of the old man, and they have absolutely respect for the old man who is also a master and a father!
