Qian Duoduo Repeated His Old Trick

"This is truly excellent wine! Not only is its restorative effect superb, but its taste is also exceptional."

"Many Gu King are heavy drinkers who are addicted to alcohol. They will spend a lot of money to buy fine wine to satisfy their cravings. If this kind of wine were auctioned at Gu King Special Auction, it might fetch an even higher price."

Qian Duoduo stroked the wine glass, her gaze intense as she spoke.

In his opinion, this kind of wine would be a waste even if it were offered at the Gu King Auction; such a peerless wine should be used to refine Wine Gu.

The Wine Gu made from this Divine Wine must be Supreme-Grade Wine Gu. If we consider it from the perspective of wine gu making, the value of this wine would be ten times higher.

It should be noted that the Wine Gu is a universal gu. You can make a Wine Gu by putting a Wine Worm into any single type of wine. There is no need for Gu Recipe at all. It's just that the Wine Gu is much weaker than the Wine Gu made from a mixture of wines.

Even the weakest of the supreme-grade Gu worm is still supreme-grade Gu worm, and even the weakest supreme-grade Gu worm is enough to easily defeat any High-Grade Gu Insect.

Supreme-grade Gu worm are extremely rare, enough to make him go to great lengths.

He had already made up his mind that he must acquire this fine wine, which could be used to refine supreme-grade Gu worm, at all costs.

The Integrity Gu prevents him from using underhanded tactics, but he can disguise himself as a bidder and win all the fine wines. He's already quite adept at this; it's not the first time he's done it.

However, his last attempt to impersonate a bidder backfired, costing him a lot of money unnecessarily. This time, he was more cunning. After rolling his eyes, he smiled and said, "Your auction items are good enough for you to enter the private room. You can sit here."

"However, as you know, there are simply too many items to auction this time, and time is tight, so your thirty barrels of fine wine probably can't be auctioned separately and will have to be sold together. I hope you can understand."

Selling them separately would make it difficult to buy them all at once, and the price would definitely be higher. Therefore, Qian Duoduo plans to sell all thirty barrels at once, and he will spare no expense to Spirit-Recovery Wine, no matter what price it fetches.

Long Xuan had no idea that Qian Duoduo, as the auction house manager, was going to play the trick of pretending to be a bidder again, and agreed to his request without much thought.

"It's alright, just arrange it as you see fit. I Integrity Gu you merchants with your integrity."

"Alright, I have a lot to do, so I'll take my leave now. Have a pleasant auction, and please call me if you need anything."

Qian Duoduo quickly put all the wine barrels into her Storage Bag, smiled and waved to the two of them, then pushed open the door and left.

After Qian Duoduo finally left, Long Ziyan narrowed her eyes and said, "He seemed a bit excited. A spirit-returning treasure shouldn't make a well-traveled merchant so excited."

"It seems he's planning to use your wine to refine a Gu worm. Only supreme-grade Gu worm Gu Insect excite a manager of a large merchant guild like that."

"A businessman has a keen eye. Although I don't know much about wine, I trust his judgment. A wine that he chooses must have reached the quality required to refine supreme-grade Gu worm."

"You've used this kind of wine to concoct Wine Gu?" Long Ziyan asked him curiously.

Long Xuan's expression remained unchanged. He had never even considered this issue. One Little White was enough for the Wine Gu Wine Gu; there was no need to refine another one.

Moreover, he had witnessed the entire process of Long Lie refining the Wine Gu, and knew that each type of single wine was Gu Recipe for a Wine Gu, and that each type of Spirit Wine could be refined into a Wine Gu.

However, the Supreme-Grade Wine Gu refined from a single type of wine is extremely weak. That Blaze Gu is far inferior to his Little White Gu. A supreme-grade Gu worm can only breathe fire, which is incredibly embarrassing.

Therefore, he had no interest in Wine Gu made from a single type of wine, even if it could produce a supreme-grade Gu worm.

"Wine Gu made from a single type of wine is very weak; I have absolutely no intention of using such wine to concoct Wine Gu."

Long Xuan had no intention of hiding his true feelings from his dao companion, and simply replied.

Long Ziyan nodded, looking at him with amusement, and said, "You look down on very weak supreme-grade Gu worm? Someone who looks down on supreme-grade Gu worm can only mean that he has many powerful supreme-grade Gu worm, and his standards have risen."

Long Xuan looked at her helplessly. This wife of his was quite clever. Having a wife who was too smart was undoubtedly a lot of pressure for him.

They're not easily fooled or deceived.

He still prefers his woman to be a little naive, the easier she is to fool, the better.

"Every top genius must possess a few supreme-grade Gu worm. Even though I've never revealed supreme-grade Gu worm supreme-grade Gu worm my clan, everyone would guess that I must have a few. Your guess is just something everyone already knows," Long Xuan said nonchalantly.

"That's true. Someone who has made such a large contribution has enough resources to refine many supreme-grade Gu worm. All the higher-ups in the Lineage have already assumed that you have at least four top -supreme-grade Gu worm. I thought so before too, so I really don't need to guess again."

"Even if I had five supreme-grade Gu worm, I wouldn't look down on a weak supreme-grade Gu worm. I really want to refine a Wine Gu made from this kind of wine."

"If I'm not mistaken, the ability of the Wine Gu made from this wine should be related to the recovery of spirits, and it will be very useful in actual combat. Lend me twenty barrels of this wine first." Long Ziyan stretched out her hand and said, not treating herself as an outsider.

Long Xuan was taken aback, not expecting that Long Ziyan would also be interested in this kind of wine.

However, he was in a hurry when he left, so he only took twenty barrels of the Spirit-Recovery Wine with him. The remaining twenty barrels were all distilled Spirit-Recovery Wine, which was Little White's food. If he gave it all away, what would Little White drink?

Forget it, my wife is the most important person in the world, so let's let that Little White go hungry for a while.

After placing the twenty barrels of wine on the ground, Long Xuan said, "These are the real wines. The wine that Qian Duoduo took out earlier was fake; I diluted it with water."

Upon hearing this, Long Ziyan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Fake wine? You diluted it with water? You're such a shrewd businessman!"

Just as the two were talking, wealthy Gu cultivators in the Marrow Cleansing Stage began to enter the arena, creating a noisy commotion below.

Although Long Xuan's private room number five offered a clear view of the auction stage below and allowed him to participate in the bidding at any time, the lack of glass in this world meant that the noise from below could be clearly heard into his room.

Through this huge, windowless window, Long Xuan could also clearly see the people in the other private rooms on the second floor.

Suddenly, he noticed someone staring at him with a sinister gaze from room number ten on his right, and he instinctively looked over.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the owner of that sinister gaze was none other than a familiar face— Feng Si, whom he had already thoroughly offended. Beside him stood a large group of people dressed in the same clothes.

He was stunned. Was the world really that small? First, he saw Qian Duoduo, an acquaintance, and now he'd run into another familiar face, Feng Si. Why wasn't he staying put in the Far Western Lands? What was he doing here?

Long Ziyan followed his gaze and noticed the sinister look in his eyes. She said helplessly, "Where there is the Long Family, there is often the Feng Clan. The two clans have been sworn enemies since ancient times, fighting for countless millennia."

"The Western Land Ten Clans are the Long Family, Feng Family, Bai Clan, Dan Clan, Shi Family, Hun Clan, Ghost Clan, Lei Family, Yan Family, and Yao Clan."

"The Feng Clan of the Far West also split off from the Western Land Feng Clan. They are different from our clan; it wasn't a separation, but a division. They settled in the Far Western Lands a thousand years earlier than our clan."

"The Western Land Feng Clan and the Far Western Feng Clan had a feud in their ancestors, but by this generation, that generation with the feud is long gone."

"It's also because our clan has developed too rapidly in recent years, and we now have the strength to destroy the Feng Clan. This has put pressure on the Far Western Feng Clan, making them feel fearful. So they have been forced to abandon their old grudges and come to the Western Land Feng Clan to seek an alliance, preparing to make the Western Land Feng Clan their support."

"The alliance between the two clans has now been established, and it's not a coincidence that Feng Si, as one of the few geniuses of the Far Western Feng Clan, is here."

"What did you do to offend him? Why is he looking at you like that?"

Long Xuan withdrew his gaze and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing. I just accidentally blew up his younger brother. I was acting entirely in self-defense. Long Qilin also killed his brother. I don't know why he doesn't go after Long Qilin but only targets me. He's like a persistent ghost."

"Then you'd better pray for yourself. The hatred for killing your brother is irreconcilable. You'd better be careful when you go out in the future."

Long Ziyan glanced at Feng Si again, memorizing his face. She had made up her mind that if she had the chance, she would definitely get rid of this person as soon as possible.

As a bell rang, a sexy and alluring female auctioneer appeared on the auction stage, holding a small golden hammer and giving a charming smile to the people below.

The auction hall, which had just been chaotic, suddenly fell silent.

"Hello everyone! I'm the auctioneer in charge of this auction. You can call me Shao Shao."

"Since there are so many items up for auction today, and we just added another one, I won't waste time on lengthy introductions."

"We will now officially begin the auction for the first item."

After speaking, Shao Shao took out a pill bottle from his storage ring, gently held it in his palm, and smiled at the crowd below the stage.

Long Xuan was shocked. Good heavens, in order to save time and auction as many treasures as possible, this auctioneer was actually taking the auction items directly out of his storage ring.

You should know that when the Qian Clan Merchant Association held auctions in the Far Western Lands, all kinds of treasures were brought up on jade platters by beautiful maids in gorgeous clothes, which was very ceremonial and looked very formal.

However, there were simply too many treasures to be auctioned this time. In order to make more money, these unscrupulous merchants actually skipped the time-wasting process and just took all the treasures directly from their storage rings. Could this be the idea of that unscrupulous merchant named Qian Jinjin? Long Xuan couldn't help but wonder.

However, what shocked him even more was yet to come. When the auctioneer opened the lid of the elixir bottle, a rich fragrance of elixir filled the entire room. Long Xuan subconsciously sniffed it and immediately showed a look of surprise.

This fragrance of pills smells so familiar. Isn't this the Spirit -Spirit-Impact Pill that I traded to Qian Jinjin impersonating the mysterious Alchemist?

However, to avoid revealing the secret of the Spirit-Ascending Grass, he renamed it the Marrow-Washing Pill. Unexpectedly, she brought the Marrow-Washing Pill here for auction.

At this moment, Long Xuan's Insect-Rearing Pouch moved, and soon a furry little head poked out of the Insect-Rearing Pouch. It sniffed the fragrance of pills that had entered the private room, and looked at the pill bottle in the beautiful auctioneer's hand with a puzzled look.

Isn't this the elixir I painstakingly refined? How did it end up here?

"Who let you out? Go back inside. You are not allowed to come out in public without my permission, understand?"

Long Xuan quickly pressed the fluffy little head back down.
