There were five more children in the house, but Tan Xiu did not feel troubled. After all, he had experience in raising children, so he let the five of them take a bath in turn and found five sets of clothes that he had never worn before for them to wear. Although it looked like a robe, at least he didn't have to wear dirty clothes.
"Have you finished eating?"
Tan Xiu looked at the five little guys sitting in the hall and asked with a smile.
"No." Tang Xiaojin shook her head.
Tan Xiu smiled and dialed Chi Nan's number, asking her to send some food over. Li Laoshan hurried over before the food arrived.
"Brother Tang, I hope I didn't disturb you by visiting so late at night?" Li Laoshan, who had a big belly, wore a smile on his chubby face. Except for the beautiful female secretary who followed him into the villa hall, the other four bodyguards stayed in the courtyard.
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "It's okay. Since Brother Li has come to Shanghai, no matter how busy you are, I have to welcome you! However, I don't feel at ease leaving the five little fellows at home, so I can only trouble Old Brother Li to come here personally. "
Li Laoshan's gaze fell on the five people of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
"They are …"
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "They are my adopted children. What are you waiting for? Call for help."
"Hello, Uncle!"
Tang Xiaojin and the other four children shouted anxiously.
"Hello!" Li Laoshan nodded with a smile.
Finished!
Only then did he look at Tan Xiu and gave him a thumbs up, praising, "You're really good, Brother Tang. You're willing to adopt these children at such a young age."
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and said, "Little Jin, go back to your rooms first. I'll call you when the food is delivered. Brother Tang, come, come, let's sit over here. "
After some small talk.
With a smile, Tang Xiu said, "Old Brother Li, the reason you came to Shanghai this time is …"
"I came to see you," said Li Laoshan.
Tan Xiu said with a smile, "I didn't expect my face to be so big that it's even worthy for Old Brother Li to personally come to see me. Say it! Why are you looking for me? "
Li Laoshan grinned and said, "Brother Tang, you won't have any friends if you're too smart. Come on, I do have something important to discuss with you. "
Tan Xiu made an inviting gesture and smiled without saying a word.
"The reason I came here this time is mainly to ask Brother Tang for a favor," said Li Laoshan. I have some business in the Imperial Capital, but I've encountered some trouble recently. The other party was the boss of another building materials business. He contacted some people and deducted a large amount of steel from me. Therefore, I want to ask Brother Tang to accompany me. "
Tan Xiu thought for a moment and said, "You didn't get to the main point, did you? Go on. "
Li Laoshan raised his thumbs up again and praised, "Brother Tang, you're smart. If it was just a small matter like this, I naturally wouldn't bother Brother Tang. However, the other party is a fellow who is very obsessed with antiques. He insisted on buying the Yuchang sword in my hand. You should know that I spent a lot of effort to get my hands on that Yuchang sword, so I naturally wasn't willing to sell it to him. As a result, he made a bet with me, saying that he has a better ancient sword and forced me to take that Yuchang sword to participate in an underground auction in the Imperial Capital. My Yuchang sword will be auctioned, and his sword will also be auctioned. We'll compete for the two ancient swords at the auction, and the highest bidder wins. "
"An underground auction in the Imperial Capital?" asked Tan Xiu.
"That's right. It's an underground auction secretly run by the Situ Family of the Occult Sect." Li Laoshan nodded and said, "It's said that this underground auction has existed since the Qing Dynasty. Even during the Republic of China and the war years, this underground auction has never stopped. It seems that it has been held 180 times so far. A large number of antiques and curios will be auctioned in every auction. I heard that even the Qin Emperor's Imperial Jade Seal will be auctioned this time. Brother Tang, have you ever heard of the Qin Emperor's Imperial Jade Seal? "
"I've never heard of it." Tan Xiu shook his head. "What is it?"
"Of course, it's the seal that symbolizes power during the Qin Dynasty," said Li Laoshan mysteriously.
"Old Brother Li, I still don't get it." Tan Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "What exactly do you want me to help you with? I'm afraid I'm not as rich as you are now. "
"It's not about money," said Li Laoshan. "It's about safety. It's because I once participated in an underground auction in the Imperial Capital 15 years ago, so I learned about the nature of this auction house. It's very dangerous. If the buyer buys an extremely precious antique, it's very likely that they'll be targeted. You're very strong, and you also have powerful experts under you. I believe your safety can be guaranteed if you come with me. "
Tan Xiu suddenly understood and smilingly said, "What's the specific time?"
"The 7th of October," said Li Laoshan.
Tan Xiu thought for a moment before he nodded and said, "I'm actually very interested in this underground auction. I'll accompany you to play when the time comes! "
Upon hearing it, Li Laoshan was immediately overjoyed and waved to the pretty secretary. The secretary took out a boutique box from her briefcase and handed it to Tan Xiu.
"This is?"
Tan Xiu took the boutique box and asked with a surprised expression.
"This is a good thing I got some time ago." Li Laoshan grinned and said, "It's a naturally formed True Dragon Jade Pendant. I'm giving it to you as a thank-you gift. "
"Thank you!"
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and gently opened the lid. When his eyes fell on the jade pendant inside, a dazzling red light suddenly appeared, causing his pupils to instantly contract and his body to abruptly stand up.
"What happened to you, Brother Tang?" Li Laoshan was surprised.
"Didn't you see it just now?" Tan Xiu turned his head to look at Li Laoshan and asked.
"What did I see?" Li Laoshan asked doubtfully.
Tan Xiu didn't answer and shifted his gaze back to the sparkling and translucent jade pendant with a red dragon-shaped pattern inside. His heart was beating a few beats faster than usual, and the look of disbelief in his eyes kept flashing.
Dragon Soul!
A Dragon Soul was unexpectedly sealed inside this jade pendant. He released his spiritual sense and fused it into the jade pendant. To his amazement, the jade pendant had its own space inside, and the Dragon Soul of a Nine-clawed Crimson Dragon was constantly wandering inside.
Tan Xiu wouldn't be shocked if it was just an ordinary Dragon Soul, but a Nine-clawed Crimson Dragon was extremely rare even in the Immortal World. The most important thing was that an adult Five-clawed Golden Dragon was not a match for a young Nine-clawed Crimson Dragon. A Nine-clawed Crimson Dragon would definitely be ranked in the top three in terms of preciousness and power.
As for the Dragon Clan …
It was an extremely powerful force in the Immortal World. Even though he had become a Supreme in the Immortal World and had great influence, he still didn't dare to easily provoke the Dragon Clan.
'Who is it? Who could have such a great divine ability to capture an adult Nine-clawed Crimson Dragon, extract its Dragon Soul and seal it here? Fortunately … this jade pendant didn't touch the internal space when it was cut and carved, else the internal space would've been destroyed and the Dragon Soul would've dissipated. '
Tan Xiu secretly rejoiced inwardly. The way he looked at Li Laoshan was different from before. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Old Brother Li, give me two years. I'll give you a great opportunity and a great fortune two years later."
Li Laoshan was surprised and asked, "A great opportunity? A great fortune? What is it? "
"I can't tell you now, but you'll naturally know it two years later," said Tan Xiu. "I'll accept this jade pendant and return the favor two years later."
Li Laoshan waved his hand and smilingly said, "Brother Tang, you're too serious. Accompanying me to the Imperial Capital is already enough to return the favor. I was afraid that this gift was too light and you wouldn't be satisfied! "
"This jade pendant is very important to me," said Tan Xiu.
That's right!
It was very important!
Tan Xiu's current cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and the further he went, the more difficult it would be. However, it was different to have the Dragon Soul of a Nine-clawed Crimson Dragon. Once his cultivation broke through to the last layer of the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis, which was the Nine Controlled Dan Realm, he would be able to devour the Dragon Soul. At that time, he would definitely be able to directly cross the first layer and step into the second layer.
Tan Xiu had thoroughly studied the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis. Once he broke through to the second stage, it would be equivalent to an ordinary cultivator stepping into the Immortal Realm.
Some cultivators were unable to break through in their entire lives, unable to seek the Dao and become Immortals.
Some cultivators had to go through untold hardships and spend countless years before they could ascend to become Immortals.
But he!
If he devoured the Dragon Soul of a Nine-clawed Crimson Dragon, not only would he reach the Immortal Realm, but he could also take the opportunity to condense an Immortal Soul. Once the Immortal Soul and the Dragon Soul fused, he would be able to cultivate some secret arts of the Dragon Clan.
Dragon!
His whole body was a treasure!
Dragon!
His physique was formidable!
Tan Xiu could even be sure that after devouring the Dragon Soul, his body would be far stronger than those Immortals. Even the Demons in the Demon World would be unable to be compared to him.
Li Laoshan looked at Tan Xiu, who looked pensive, and curiously said, "Big Bro Tang, isn't this just a jade pendant? Is it worth your exaggeration? "
"Old Brother Li, it may not be of much benefit to you, but it's very, very important to me." Tan Xiu shook his head. "Have you ever heard of such a phrase?"
"No." Li Laoshan shook his head.
Tan Xiu smiled and no longer explained. He pretended to put the jade pendant in his pocket and then quietly put it into his interspatial ring. Then, he smilingly said, "Forget it since you've never heard of it. I'll explain it to you later if there's a chance. The food and wine should be delivered soon, so let's have a good drink. "
"No problem." Li Laoshan smiled and said, "Drinking wine and eating meat with Brother Tang is a great pleasure in my life."
"Now, let's talk about your batch of steel!" Tan Xiu said with a smile. "I don't quite understand why someone detained your steel."
Li Laoshan chuckled and said, "The other party is very powerful in the Imperial Capital. The only way to detain my batch of steel, and with a justifiable reason at that, is to ask someone from the officialdom. However, that guy said that as long as I take the Yuchang Sword to the auction, he will hand it over regardless of the result. Furthermore, not only will he not obstruct me from doing business in the Magic City, but he will also help me instead. "
"So to speak, he's not an enemy, then," Tan Xiu said.
"He's not exactly an enemy. It's just that he's too good at scheming, which I don't like." Li Laoshan said, "If possible, I'd like to have less dealings with him later."
