Originally, he was quite dissatisfied with the Zhan family's silent threat to the other bidders at the auction. However, after knowing that Zhan Xucheng was Gongye Bo's disciple, his attitude immediately changed. Spirit alchemists and weapon refiners of the venerable realm were too rare. If he could curry favor with elder Zhan and find time to help refine a few spirit weapons, he could make a fortune using Gongye Bo's name.
According to his thoughts, as a disciple of Gongye Bo, repairing this pill furnace would definitely not be a problem for Zhan Tianhong. The reason why he did not fight with Ling Chuxi was because he did not want others to say that he was bullying the young. If Ling Chuxi made the first move and was lucky enough to really repair this pill furnace, then Zhan Tianhong would lose all his face.
Therefore, he decided to put Zhan Tianhong in the picture.
