Just as they reached the door, an old man came in from outside."Ke ke, clan leader Xiao and elders need not be so polite. This old man has already come uninvited.”
As the voice traveled in, a figure shrouded in a black cloak entered the hall unhurriedly under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Looking at the black-robed man, Xiao Zhan and the three elders hurriedly welcomed him into the hall. Xiao Bieli sized up the black-robed man with a playful gaze, but he did not point it out.
"My Xiao family is truly honored that Old Sir can visit our clan despite his busy schedule!”
The black-robed man smiled faintly and said,""Hehe, there's no need for formalities!”
Xiao Zhan nodded his head fervently and gave Xiao Bieli and the others a look. He hurriedly made way for the black-robed man and led him to the seat of honor.
"Old sir, please take a seat."
The black-robed man did not stand on ceremony. He walked straight up and sat down at the side of the leader's seat.
Seeing Xiao Zhan and the others treat the black-robed man so respectfully, the younger generation of clansmen couldn't help but whisper. Numerous curious gazes repeatedly swept over the black-robed person. Their eyes immediately became hot when they heard the elders beside them mention the identity of the black-robed person as an alchemist.
No matter where it was, alchemists were always the occupation that made people feel the most reverence.
Xiao Zhan personally took a cup of tea and handed it to the black-robed man. He asked,""Old mister, may I know why you have come to the Xiao clan today?”
"This old man happened to pass by this place and coincidentally heard that there was a young man called Xiao Yan in your clan. He lost his talent for three years and after he regained it, he jumped a few steps within a few months. Hence, I came to take a look out of curiosity.”The old voice under the black robe spoke in a faint voice.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan's gaze hurriedly looked around the hall but did not see Xiao Yan's shadow. He involuntarily laughed bitterly.
Waving his hand, the black-robed man stopped Xiao Zhan from sending someone to call him. He smiled and said,"Ke ke, clan leader Xiao, you don't have to call me. I've already met your young master. He's a very good youth and is very much to my liking.”
Envy involuntarily flowed out of the eyes of everyone in the hall when they heard the praise of the black-robed person. It was not an easy thing to obtain such an evaluation from an alchemist of quite a high rank.
"Everything good has been taken by that guy.”Xiao Ning's lips twitched unwillingly. His tone was filled with envy. He seemed to be still brooding over his loss to Xiao Yan in the clan test.
Hearing the black-robed man's words, the smile on Xiao Zhan's face grew even wider, and his eyes showed a hint of complacency.
But at this moment, the black-robed man suddenly said,""Patriarch Xiao, the Xiao clan's recent situation doesn't seem to be very good!”
Nodding his head, Xiao Zhan smiled bitterly and said,""I believe that old mister should also know about the current situation of the Xiao family, right?”
The black-robed man nodded and smiled."This old man knows a thing or two about this matter."
"Sigh!" Xiao Zhan sighed and said,"The current Xiao Clan's business has already been squeezed out by the Jia Lie Clan and the Aoba Clan by close to 50%. If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid that our Xiao Clan will become a second-rate power in Wu Tan City.”
The black-robed man chuckled." Hehe, although I don't have a deep relationship with the Xiao family, I have some connections with your young master. If you're not afraid that I have some bad ideas, why don't we work together?"”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was stunned at first, but then his face was filled with ecstasy. He had been holding back his desire to say this.
"Old sir, the Xiao family is more than happy to cooperate with you!”Xiao Zhan agreed without hesitation.
An alchemist who was at least a Grade Two alchemist was almost impossible to find in a family like the Xiao Family. Moreover, Xiao Zhan didn't think that the Xiao Family had anything that could move a Grade Two alchemist. Looking at the manner in which this old mister spoke, it seemed that the reason why he had cooperated with the Xiao clan was mostly because of Xiao Yan. How could Xiao Zhan, as the leader of a clan, give up such an opportunity so easily?
The black-robed man smiled and nodded when he saw Xiao Zhan's attitude. A white hand reached out from the black robe. There was a light red ring on his finger, and his fingertip flicked the ring a few times.
Instantly, light flashed.
Looking at the fair palm of a young man, Xiao Zhan was momentarily dazed. This palm gave him a familiar feeling.
Before Xiao Zhan could figure out where this familiar feeling came from, he was stunned by the pile of jade bottles that suddenly appeared on the table.
In the blink of an eye, the huge conference table was covered with small jade bottles.
Looking at the countless small jade bottles that appeared out of thin air, other than Xiao Bieli, who knew the situation, everyone else in the hall was so shocked by the huge number of pills that they inhaled a breath of cold air.
"There are 1368 bottles of healing medicine here. These healing medicines are called 'Blood Coagulation Powder.' Although I dare not say that they are the best of the best healing medicines, their healing effects are much more obvious compared to the 'Rejuvenation Powder' that the alchemist called Liu Xi had refined.”The black-robed man continued to introduce the place in a nonchalant manner as he looked at the shocked gazes in the hall.
Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched as he took a deep breath of the cold air."Taking out so many healing pills at once, this is really a big deal!”
In the hall, numerous heated gazes stared fixedly at the thousands of small jade bottles on the table. Some of the whispers that were originally present also disappeared. The entire hall immediately became silent.
Looking at the stunned crowd, the black-robed man coughed lightly, waking Xiao Zhan up.
Xiao Zhan's face turned slightly red and he smiled awkwardly. He looked at the black-robed man with a hint of respect. To be able to casually take out over a thousand bottles of healing medicine, this kind of spending was not what ordinary alchemists could do.
"Old sir, you know the Xiao family's current situation. We need healing medicine to recover our lost popularity.”Xiao Zhan sighed gratefully. He pondered for a moment and then carefully probed," How about this, our Xiao Family will be responsible for selling these healing medicines. The old gentleman will take 90% of the profits, and the remaining 10% will go to our Xiao Family. Although it's a little shameless, we still need this money to buy some things. What do you think, old sir?”
After saying that, Xiao Zhan looked at the black-robed man in front of him nervously, afraid that his conditions would make him dissatisfied. Now, the Xiao family could only rely on this mysterious alchemist.
"Haha." The black-robed man chuckled and slowly shook his head.
Seeing the black-robed man's actions, Xiao Zhan's expression changed slightly. He was about to open his mouth again to reduce the last ten percent, but the old voice made him freeze on the spot.
"Patriarch Xiao is too polite. Although I am the one who refined the medicinal pill, selling it is not an easy job. How can I take advantage of you like this? How about a 50 - 50 split?"
The three elders and the entire hall of clan members who were originally anxious by the side immediately widened their mouths in shock when they heard the black-robed person's words. After a long while, everyone could not help but rub their ears, doubting the authenticity of these words. 50 - 50? This esteemed Mr. Alchemist was also seriously taking care of the Xiao Family too much, right? Given the current situation, even if he wanted to take 100% of the profits, no one in the Xiao family would dare to say no.
" There's really a pie in the sky…" Everyone looked at each other and thought to themselves.
