After the rebirth of the master's wife who was hated by everyone, all of them were burned to de

"I want this one, please give it to the young master." Lin Xuxi said, taking out a bag of high-grade spirit stones and said, "Thirty, ten more than the other one. The young master won't lose out."

Thirty is too many.

"It's just a spirit stone, Master Lin, you don't have to be polite."

Tao Fengzhi pushed back the brocade bag containing the top-grade spirit stones, waved his fan and said with a smile: "These things in the Jinbao Pavilion are the most common."

After saying this, he told the people outside to bid.

"You've never been so generous to me before." Zhou Jingyue sighed softly, and the sound of his voice was just loud enough for his friend to hear.

He was not jealous, but wanted to say something to get his master's wife to notice him, so he spoke.

Tao Fengzhi smiled and said, "If you want something, you can just tell me. We've been friends for many years, what are these things worth?"

Hong Qing had thought he could secure a fourth-rank Lingxian with twenty high-grade spirit stones, but the man in the next room dared to bid, and he was even more expensive than him.

Hearing this, Hong Qing frowned and shouted again, "Twenty-two!"

"twenty-three!"

"Twenty-four!" Hong Qing held the teacup.

The disciple followed behind him. He had already sensed the elder's anger and naturally did not dare to step forward to dissuade him. However, he always gave way to the elder, so it was no wonder that the elder was angry.

When she heard the number thirty-one, Lin Xuxi intervened and said, "Young Master, although this thing is rare, it's not worth it if there are more than thirty of them."

Lin Xuxi wasn't a sucker, and the price she offered was just right. It wouldn't put the other party at a disadvantage, and she wouldn't lose too much either.

"My bidding is just putting money from my left pocket into my right pocket. Besides, what Master Lin wants, let alone thirty high-grade spirit stones, even a hundred are just a few numbers." Tao Fengzhi never lacks these things.

What he lacked was good relationships with the major sects, a source of support. His father's connections would eventually fade with his father's death, and he needed his own connections.

And Lin Xuxi was the first person he wanted to make friends with.

Because Lin Xuxi was strong enough, just the fact that she was born with spiritual bones alone was even more powerful than Hong Qing. Mother said that people born with spiritual bones were not simple and could achieve great things.

He had misunderstood Lin Xuxi before, but later he understood that Lin Xuxi would repay a favor. It was a good idea for him to sell this, because if Jinbao Pavilion was in trouble in the future, she would definitely help.

Guaranteed profit without loss.

"That's all."

Lin Xuxi also understood what the other party meant and nodded, saying, "If you need anything in the future, just ask." Since the other party is so kind, you can't be vague.

Money and goods are cleared, and everyone is happy.

"Of course." Tao Fengzhi nodded with a smile.

You see, talking to smart people is easy.

When the fourth-level Lingxian called forty, Hong Qing fell silent.

This price was beyond Hong Qing's ability to bear, but for Tao Fengzhi, it was just a drop in the bucket. As long as the other party kept bidding, he would always be able to outbid them.

Hong Qing didn't bid again, but he was so angry that he smashed two teacups.

The floor was a mess, with tea and debris scattered everywhere. Hong Qing's face was gloomy, and his brown eyes were full of anger as he stared fiercely at the wall.

He wished he could stare through the wall to see who dared to go against him.

"I don't understand, what does Master Lin want Lingxian to do?" Tao Fengzhi handed Lingxian, who was brought up by the servant, over with both hands and asked with a smile, "Could it be that you want to practice swordsmanship again?"

He was just joking.

"Brother Rong Yi wants to forge the Black Thunder Sword. It's rare for a fourth-level Lingxian to give him a gift." After Lin Xuxi put the things away, he smiled and said, "Brother Rong Yi will need this."

She thought that the reason Senior Brother Rong got into trouble in his previous life was most likely because he was interrupted during his retreat. He had already been interrupted once by Zhou Jingyue and Rong Xin.

Tao Fengzhi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Speaking of Master Rong, Zhou Jingyue felt a little guilty. Master Rong had been in seclusion for three or four years, and the reason for this seclusion was because of the bad things he had done.

At that time, he was persuaded by Aunt Xin to go to Jianshan to play, and accidentally disturbed Master Rong's practice, almost causing him to go astray. He was punished to go to Qiu Shui Abyss, but in the end it was his master's wife who helped him get through it.

It was also during that time that Master Rong went into seclusion and never came out.

"Master's Wife, I hope Master Rong is okay?" Zhou Jingyue felt a little scared when he thought about it now.

Lin Xuxi did not answer. She thought that if she could keep the evil cultivator out of the mountain protection formation this time, Senior Brother Rong Yi might not be in danger.

Zhou Jingyue, knowing that he was guilty, did not dare to ask and kept his head down.

Soon, Hong Qing bid again, this time for a piece of black iron used for sword making.

Tao Fengzhi continued to bid, and each time he only bid one medium-grade spirit stone higher to humiliate the other party.

Lin Xuxi found it amusing. She stood up and walked to the wall, listening intently. Sure enough, she heard the sound of something being smashed. She raised her lip and thought, "You can't help it now? I'm afraid you'll be even angrier later."

"What are you listening to?"

Suddenly someone spoke from behind. Lin Xuxi was startled and turned around to find that Tao Fengzhi was standing behind her at some point, and the two were very close.

Lin Xuxi stood up straight immediately, distanced herself and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Just now I saw Master Lin smiling, and I don't know what funny thing he heard. I also wanted to come over to listen, sorry for the rudeness." Tao Fengzhi pretended to be sincere and frank when he apologized.

No one would think too much about such an apology, they would just think that the other party was truly sincere.

"Hong Qing was smashing things. I thought it was fun, so I listened." Lin Xuxi walked around Tao Fengzhi and sat down at the table, muttering, "You don't understand him. He's never as righteous as you think."

"I agree with that." How could a truly upright person discriminate against people of all kinds and show different expressions to such people?

However, although Tao Fengzhi could see it, he never dared to mention it in front of Master Lin. After all, that was the other person's good friend, and if he said it, he would offend both of them.

He would not do anything that would not be worth the cost, but now that Master Lin brought it up himself, he was a little surprised.

"Master's wife, what do you mean?" Zhou Jingyue was confused.

He remembered that his master's wife and Elder Hong Qing were good friends, but his master's wife's comments just now suggested otherwise. Could there be something he didn't know?

An hour passed and the auction was nearing its end.

Hong Qing was restless, he had been waiting for the Xuan Lei Pagoda, but even after the final bell rang, he still didn't see it.

"Elder, why is there no Xuan Lei Pagoda?" Zhijian was a little puzzled. He walked to the window, lifted the bead curtain, and found that the auction was really over. He asked nervously, "The Xuan Lei Pagoda has not appeared yet!"

"Isn't the Xuanlei Pagoda in the Jinbao Pavilion?"

"Impossible! I received news that the Xuanlei Pagoda is in the Jinbao Pavilion. That person didn't have the guts to lie to me. It must be that the people from the Jinbao Pavilion didn't take the item out!"

Hong Qing could no longer sit still. The anger he had suppressed the previous two times was about to burn to his eyebrows. Now that Xuan Lei Pagoda did not show up again, he could no longer hold back his anger.

Without caring about the people outside who hadn't left yet, Hong Qing kicked the door open and walked out. He stood still in the corridor, stopped those who were about to leave, and asked sternly, "Where is Xuan Lei Pagoda?"

"Elder Hong Qing, what is the Mysterious Thunder Pagoda?" The auctioneer was a middle-aged man, not very skilled but worldly-wise. He seemed unable to resist the intimidating roar.
