After the big auction, Lin Haoming and Zi Ning also went back.
Not participating in the fight for those high-priced items, Lin Haoming asked himself that no one would be interested in him and Zi Ning's cultivation.
After this grand event ended, many people began to leave, or were preparing to go to sea to find sea beasts and earn some blood crystal pills.
Lin Haoming and Zi Ning have been here for more than a year. Now that they have almost got what they want, they naturally plan to leave. However, just when they are about to leave, Tao Xian, who was also born in Haomao Lake, comes to visit.
When Lin Haoming saw Tao Xian, he thought he was just here to say goodbye, or to ask if he planned to go back to Hao Miao Lake together. However, after everyone sat down, Tao Xian asked with a smile: "Brother Lin, I bought black at the big auction before." Is it you who belongs to Jingzhu??"
"Brother Tao should also know that I was the one who took the photo of the black crystal bamboo that I have been looking for for a long time!" Lin Haoming felt that the few things he bought would not threaten him, so he admitted it.
Tao Xian laughed after hearing this and said, "So that evil bowl was also taken by Brother Lin!"
After hearing this, Lin Haoming looked at Tao Xian suspiciously, realizing that he was not here to be polite. He stared at his face and asked, "Brother Tao, what do you mean?"
"Hehe, brother Lin, I was the last one to compete with you for the evil spirit bowl!" Tao Xian said with a smile.
"Oh! Does Brother Tao want me to transfer this treasure to you?" Lin Haoming asked doubtfully.
Tao Xian immediately smiled and shook his head: "Of course not, if you want it, I won't let it go during the auction!"
"What does Brother Tao mean?" Lin Haoming became more and more suspicious as he listened.
Tao Xian still smiled, and then said: "The thing is very simple. The technique that Brother Lin practices, or the field that Brother Lin practices, should have something to do with the evil spirit, right?"
"There are indeed some!" The other party came to visit, and Lin Haoming couldn't deny it.
"That's great. I've been looking for late-stage Hades like Brother Lin for a long time." Tao Xian said with a smile.
"Oh! Why did Brother Tao find someone like me who is in the late stage of Hades?" Lin Haoming asked warily.
"Brother Lin, don't be nervous, it's still an opportunity!" Tao Xian said with a smile.
"Brother Tao, when you claimed that you were also from Vast Lake, you probably already planned to get close to me, right?" Lin Haoming asked with a smile.
Tao Xian laughed again and said, "Brother Lin is right, indeed, but I really have no ill intentions. Enthusiasm is indeed an opportunity."
"How do you say it?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Another companion and I discovered a cave while searching for treasure at sea. The cave was on an island. However, when we found it, the island had sunk underwater for many years, so no one noticed it. The man and I After the companions investigated, they found that someone should have deliberately sunk the cave into the sea. They were very surprised to see this and wanted to go in to find out, but they spent many methods and finally couldn't get in," Tao Xian said.
"Cave Mansion? This is a place where ancient practitioners would live!" Lin Haoming said.
"That's not necessarily the case. Some ascetic cultivators who hide themselves from the world will also open caves, but there are relatively few of them. But no matter which kind they are, even I can't easily enter them. It must not be simple inside." Tao Xian said with a smile.
"Brother Tao, tell me, is it possible that the evil spirit is the key to opening the cave?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Brother Lin is absolutely right. My companion and I have been studying for hundreds of years before we figured out how to get in. However, neither my companion nor I have the evil spirit technique, so we plan to find someone who can do this. , After searching for many years, I finally met you, Brother Lin!" Tao Xian said with a smile.
"Brother Tao, the two of us were just passing by Zhuyue Island, and we only stopped for a while because it happened to be the big auction." Lin Haoming obviously meant to refuse. The memory of Jinshan Haiyue's treasure hunt before was still very deep. , now that I have enough giant black lotus in my body, I really have no intention of taking risks.
"Brother Lin, I know you are young and have the support of the Luo family, but I obviously underestimate the time it takes to practice from the seventh path to the ninth path. Each leap takes an unknown number of thousands of years. This requires unknown How many resources have been accumulated, and I have more than one person, don’t you want to consider the people around you as well?” Tao Xian asked with a smile.
"Brother Tao's words do make sense, but..."
"Brother Lin is just worried about what happens. You two only have seven levels of cultivation, and I have eight levels of cultivation, so there is no guarantee!" Tao Xian said what Lin Haoming was really worried about.
Lin Haoming also laughed and said nothing at this time.
Tao Xian still smiled and said: "My identity should have been determined by you two when I first contacted you. After all, I, Tao Xian, am also a well-known figure in Haomao Lake. You two can follow me." The purpose of treasure hunting is to tell others that if I really encounter an accident, I will not be able to live in peace. Both of them are important people in the Luo family. There are more than one or two masters of the nine paths of the Luo family. When they find me, there is nothing I can do about it. Really, and if we go, we can also sign a contract."
Hearing what the other party said, Lin Haoming discovered that Mr. Tao was really sincere and did not look like a deceiver. Unless he really encountered a truly top-notch treasure, I am afraid that even a treasure like the Immortal Bamboo would not be able to use it. Will make some bad moves.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Haoming asked: "Brother Tao is indeed sincere, and he seems a little anxious."
"Haha, there's no way around it. The time I made an appointment with that friend to meet on that island again will only be less than twenty years ago. If I don't take anyone with me by then and he does, according to what we said Okay, I can only get a quarter of the things at that time. If I bring someone over and he doesn’t, then I can get half of the harvest and you can get a quarter. If both sides bring people in, And they all contributed to getting inside, then we will divide the harvest into three parts. My friend and I will each take one part, and you and the people he brought will share the last part equally." Tao Xian explained the reasons for the matter. Speak up.
Hearing this, Lin Haoming nodded, understanding Tao Xian's intention. There were indeed not many people like him here. As the owner of the road along Hao Miao Lake, Zi Ning has a good reputation in Hao Miao Lake, and in Tao Xian's opinion, he is a relatively secure person.
"Brother Lin, don't underestimate that it may only be half of one-third. According to my observation, the cave is not simple. Even if you can only get the minimum harvest, it will at least allow me to cultivate to the ninth level without having to worry about the Blood Crystal Pill." Yes, and the way to enter requires the activation of evil spirits, there will probably be treasures inside that will be of great help to you, Brother Lin, in cultivating evil spirits." Tao Xian saw Lin Haoming's hesitation and persuaded him again.
