The money that the other party can make as a refiner is unimaginable for ordinary cultivators. It can be said that being a refiner is a symbol of status and identity.

Therefore, many cultivators who were dissatisfied with the dragon-lion-tiger roar shut their mouths at this moment. The other party was such a powerful alchemist, what right did they have to speak?

A hint of curiosity flashed in Guan Wen's eyes, and he couldn't help but glance at the old rascal. He hadn't expected that this guy was the Dragon Lion Tiger that the cultivators had just mentioned.

Many people originally wanted to follow up on the price, but they all shut their mouths when they heard the name of Longshihu. After all, Longshihu was a famous alchemist, and he was known for his bad temper. They didn't want to offend such a bad-tempered alchemist.

The auctioneer on stage recognized Long Shi Hu's identity and couldn't help but smile slyly at Long Shi Hu sitting in the audience. Just as he was about to bring down the hammer, another voice suddenly rang out from the crowd in the distance.

"I'll offer 300,000!"

It was a clear and youthful voice. Upon hearing this voice, everyone was surprised and quickly turned to look at the speaker. They were all astonished, wondering who dared to snatch Long Shi Hu's things, knowing that Long Shi Hu had a rather bad temper.

When everyone saw the person's appearance clearly, they immediately understood.

"So it's Young Master Gu. I thought most people wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in front of Old Master Long Shi Hu."

Young Master Gu, Gu Dao!

After hearing the voices of the crowd, Guan Wen turned his gaze to the young man who was speaking in the distance. The young man was dressed in a very luxurious outfit and had an arrogant expression on his face. He was young and was the young master Gu Dao that everyone was talking about, the eldest son of the Gu family.

"Grandpa, this divine ring looks quite nice. I'm planning to buy it as a reward for our servants. You won't mind, will you?"

Seeing that almost everyone was looking at him, Gu Dao smiled smugly, seemingly enjoying the attention he received. He then cupped his hands in greeting to Long Shi Hu from afar.

When Long Shih-hu saw Gu Dao, a smile crept onto his lips. Long Shih-hu was fearless, but he still had to be somewhat tolerant of the eldest young master of the Gu family. After all, this guy was from a wealthy and powerful family, and more importantly, he didn't care who he offended. So once he started acting tough, he wouldn't care who you were. Although Long Shih-hu had a bad temper, he wasn't stupid. There was no need to bother with such an arrogant and domineering madman.

Therefore, he chuckled a few times and said, "I didn't expect it to be Young Master Gu. If you really like the divine ring, then take it. It's not like I don't have any divine rings to use."

Upon hearing Long Shih-hu's words, a murmur of discussion arose among the crowd. They hadn't expected that Long Shih-hu, known for his bad temper, would be so humble in front of Gu Dao, suggesting that Gu Dao was subtly in control of him.

"Oh, who do we have here? It's Grandpa Long Shi Hu. To be honest, I didn't see him clearly just now and thought he was just some old man from who-knows-where. If it is Grandpa Long Shi Hu who is looking for the Divine Ring, then how can I, a junior, be qualified to compete with you? Just add a little more spirit stones and I'll give it to you."

Upon hearing Gu Dao's words, everyone's expressions turned quite ugly, and they all turned their gazes toward Long Shi Hu. Didn't this mean that the kid had done it on purpose, just to get Long Shi Hu to spend more spirit stones?

Long Shi Hu also realized this, and even though he wanted to be tolerant, his expression couldn't help but turn gloomy. He snorted and said, "I'll offer 300,000 and 1,000!"

Occasionally, when they heard him shout such a voice, the others present naturally dared not compete with him. Gu Dao also sneered and did not speak again. Soon the auction time came and the hammer fell, and Long Shi Hu spent an extra 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones to buy the Xuanling Ring.

Then the maid brought the next item to the stage and the auction continued.

The two did not speak again after that, so Guan Wen slowly withdrew his gaze. He had not expected to encounter such an interesting scene at the auction.

It seems that although Long Shi Hu is known for his bad temper and has quite a reputation, he still has some trouble dealing with Gu Dao, who is very family-oriented.

Regardless of the true nature of their relationship, Guan Wen made a huge profit this time. The Xuanling Ring, which could have sold for 100,000 or 110,000 to 120,000 mid-grade spirit stones, was auctioned off for 300,000 this time. Even after deducting transaction fees, it was still several times higher than the price he had previously sold it for.

It seems that he can indeed put the Xuanling Ring up for auction in the auction house for a while, which will allow him to earn more money.

After making up his mind, he continued to wait inside the auction hall to see if there were any items he liked.

He planned to leave only after the auction ended, but as one item after another was brought up for auction, he couldn't find a single one that he particularly liked, which made him quite disappointed.

However, despite his disappointment, he realized that his expectations were too high. After all, this was just an ordinary auction. Although there might be more rare items, this was an auction in Xu Wuxian's world. How could he possibly have everything he needed? His fire ability and time ability were both quite special abilities, especially the time ability, which required extremely complex materials that could manipulate time.
