During the bidding process, Guan Wen did not see the hot-tempered Long Shi Hu that everyone had mentioned, nor did he see the eldest son of the Gu family.
It seemed that the pills did not catch the eye of the two, so although the bidding was fierce, everyone was not very interested, especially the cultivators sitting next to Guan Wen, who looked indifferent, as if the bidding scene in front of them was nothing to look forward to.
But the real highlight is yet to come.
Guan Wen leaned back in his chair and did not participate in the bidding for the next few items. One of the most important reasons was that Guan Wen had no interest in those items related to craftsmanship and cultivation, as none of them could help him improve his time-based or fire-based abilities.
It was of no use to him at all, so there was no need for him to auction it off.
Soon after four or five items were sold, his Xuanling Ring was brought to the auction stage by a group of maids.
When the auctioneer announced the special function of his Xuanling Ring, a chorus of exclamations erupted in the room.
"This divine ring can actually increase a person's cultivation speed, and it's especially useful for cultivators who practice fire-attribute techniques. This is amazing! The divine rings I've encountered before have all been of great use in combat, and very few can help people improve their skills. This is truly a peculiar item!"
"However, this is a second-grade divine ring after all. Although it can help people improve their cultivation, it is not effective for all cultivators. Cultivators with stronger strength who have broken through to the Three Flowers Realm, or even those who are still at the Three Flowers Realm, probably will not be able to gain any benefit from this divine ring. I estimate that this thing is a defective product used by a master craftsman for experiments."
"What's the use of a divine ring if you don't use it in battle?"
"That's not how it works. Many large families and sects have disciples who are currently cultivating. Just because a young person with weaker strength is useless to us doesn't mean they are useless to other cultivators."
"Starting bid: 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones!" Just as everyone was discussing, the auctioneer on the stage immediately announced the starting bid for Guan Wen's Profound Spirit Ring. Upon hearing this unusual price, a look of surprise flashed in Guan Wen's eyes.
You know, at auctions, most items get a very high premium. He originally thought the other party would price his Xuanling Ring at 20,000 or even 30,000, but he didn't expect it to be priced at 50,000 at the beginning. Doesn't that mean the premium will be very high?
It seems that the owner of Wanbaoge has great confidence in his Xuanling Ring, otherwise he wouldn't have set the starting price at this level. As soon as the Xuanling Ring was taken out, the discussions among the surrounding crowd made Guan Wen realize that many people indeed felt that this kind of divine ring was extremely valuable, which was completely different from the thinking of people in the world of superpowers.
But just as the starting bid was revealed, a voice immediately rang out from the audience.
"I'll offer 60,000 mid-grade spirit stones!"
I'll offer 70,000!
"I'll offer 80,000!"
"I'll offer 90,000!"
"I'll offer 100,000!"
...
Almost instantly, bids began to rise and fall, and in less than half a minute, the price of the Xuanling Ring was bid up to 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
This price is already the price Guan Wen previously sold at the store.
But the bidding continued, and 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones were simply not enough to stop it.
A deafening roar, almost like a scream, erupted from the audience.
"I'll offer two hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"
Upon hearing this extremely loud and rough voice, everyone around involuntarily turned their gazes toward the direction from which the sound came. Many novice cultivators who were attending the Wanbao Pavilion for the first time were quite shocked and very dissatisfied with the person who had made the roar. After all, although the bidding in the auction hall had been quite intense, it was still relatively quiet overall. However, this guy's voice was deafening, as if he wanted everyone outside the hall to hear it. Everyone felt annoyed.
Guan Wen followed everyone's gaze and looked at the person who had let out the roar.
The man was an elderly man dressed in silk robes, the patterns on which could be described as strange and unusual, with auspicious clouds and special designs.
Of course, from the perspective of someone in his supernatural world, these patterns could only be described as a bit flashy, but not excessive. However, this was the world of cultivation where ordinary people only wore coarse cloth clothes, with almost no other colors besides black and white.
By the standards of cultivators, the old man's attire was quite comical, absurd, and somewhat unorthodox and non-mainstream.
The old man, on the other hand, had white hair and beard, and with his clothes, he looked like a playful old man.
"Where did this old guy come from, dressed all flashy like a gaudy gourd, and with such a loud voice!"
Those cultivators who were unhappy with the other party making a sound spoke up one after another.
"Young man, keep your voice down! He's Long Shi Hu. You newcomers probably don't recognize him yet. He's the craftsman who created the Yin-Yang Mirror!"
"What? So you're a refiner, and a Yin-Yang Realm expert at that! No wonder you dare to be so arrogant!"
Upon hearing someone introduce the identity of this Dragon Lion Tiger, the newly arrived cultivators were immediately terrified. Although the existence of the Yin-Yang Realm could only be considered a mid-level cultivator, the addition of the identity of a refiner made all the difference. The connections that the refiner of the Yin-Yang Realm possessed were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The divine rings he could refine would benefit many families, major sects, and powerful cultivators.
