The appearance of the Blood Coagulation Powder was like a violent storm. With a thunderous momentum, it quickly seized more than 50% of the healing medicine market in Wu Tan City. Moreover, it even allowed the Xiao clan's market to recover its former popularity in just two days, or even more.
On the second day after the Blood Coagulation Powder was released, in order to save the merchants, the two families had no choice but to lower the price of the Spring Rejuvenation Powder after an emergency negotiation. However, due to the profiteering of the two families some time ago, most of the mercenaries were disgusted. Therefore, even if the price of the Spring Rejuvenation Powder was lowered, the popularity of the market was still difficult to return to the previous hot scene.
Wu Tan City was close to the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. The Magical Beast Mountain Range was a natural treasure trove in the eyes of the mercenaries. Therefore, Wu Tan City naturally became a supply station for the mercenaries to survive. The entire Wu Tan City had a large number of mercenaries, and the Magical Beast Mountain Range was filled with danger. Therefore, the mercenaries 'demand for healing medicine was also extremely large.
Therefore, even though the Xiao family had snatched more than half of the healing medicine market, the alliance of the two families was still profitable. However, the current profits had shrunk by more than half compared to the previous period.
The sales of the Blood Coagulation Powder were so popular that it was far beyond the expectations of the Xiao family, who was doing this kind of business for the first time. Every day, the Blood Coagulation Powder in the market would be snatched away by the mercenaries who had been waiting there for a long time in the morning. Usually, the healing medicine in the market would be sold out in the afternoon. At this moment, some of the mercenaries who were unable to purchase the Blood Coagulation Powder could only helplessly head to the Jia Lie Clan and the Aoba Clan's market to purchase the lower quality Rejuvenation Powder.
Under the indirect help of the mercenaries 'large demand for healing medicine, the two families' alliance could be considered to have barely stood firm in the face of the Xiao family's fierce attack. As for the future situation, it would depend on the stock of healing medicine on both sides. Whichever side had a stronger foundation would have the last laugh.
In less than a month after the Blood Coagulation Powder was released, the Xiao Family had already taken over 70% of the healing medicine market in Wu Tan City. The huge profits caused the Xiao clan to be filled with joy. The somewhat sparse courtyard some time ago was now filled with an endless stream of people, as lively as a market.
Compared to the jubilation of the Xiao Clan, the Jia Lie Clan and the Aoba Clan were in a haze. Due to their profiteering behavior some time ago, they had incurred the disgust of a large number of mercenaries. Moreover, the Xiao Clan's Blood Coagulation Powder was much more effective than the Rejuvenation Powder. Therefore, the healing medicine industry of the two families had always been suppressed by the Xiao family. If it wasn't for the limited supply of healing medicine from the Xiao family every day, the two families would probably have nothing to do.
However, although the healing medicine industry had shrunk, the profits were still not small. However, the most troublesome thing for the two families was the large amount of medicinal herbs needed to refine the medicine.
For some unknown reason, the Primer Auction House had refused to provide any medicinal ingredients to the two families. Xiao Bieli knew that this was the work of Xiao Yan and Yao Lao behind the scenes. However, this was greatly beneficial to the development of the Xiao clan. Hence, Xiao Bieli did not point it out.
The Primer Auction House was Wu Tan City's largest resource warehouse. They refused to provide medicinal herbs to the two families. Towards this invisible blockade, the two families gritted their teeth in hatred. However, no matter how furious they were, they did not dare to force the Primer Auction House.
It should be known that the backer of the Primer Auction House was a large faction that was ranked high even in the entire Jia Ma Empire. Even if these two families allied together, they would at most be stronger than before. They were probably not qualified to provoke the Primer Auction House.
The way to the auction house was no longer feasible. Helpless, the two families could only shift their sights to the various large medicinal herb stores in the city. However, something even worse happened. Xiao Bieli made use of the remaining money from the auction of the seven fourth-tier longswords to buy up all the medicinal herbs in all the medicine stores in the city.
Moreover, the most important point was that everyone in Wu Tan City could see that the Xiao clan and the two great clans were already incompatible like fire and water. The Xiao clan had Xiao Bieli, the expert who had defeated the Misty Cloud Sect's Third Elder, keeping watch. Helping the two large clans at this moment was undoubtedly going against the Xiao clan, which was like the sun at its zenith.
Therefore, even some small medicinal stores that had stock did not dare to sell the medicinal herbs to the two families.
In this way, the two families 'source of medicinal herbs in Wu Tan City was completely cut off. For this reason, the two families had no choice but to find another way out. They used extremely high prices and manpower to purchase medicinal herbs from other cities. Only then did they barely resolve the crisis of insufficient medicinal herbs. However, because of this, the profits of the two families had once again shrunk drastically. If not for the support of the profits from the healing medicine, the two families would have long faced bankruptcy.
In Wu Tan City now, the Xiao clan was soaring with the help of the healing medicine. They even had the momentum to faintly overshadow the other two big clans.
Under the joint attack of the two great clans, the Xiao Clan actually managed to make such a beautiful comeback. This was truly beyond everyone's expectations. However, all of this was within Xiao Bieli's expectations.
Now, the Xiao family's market was gradually stabilizing. If nothing unexpected happened, the two families would gradually disappear and withdraw from Wu Tan City.
On this day, the higher-ups of the Xiao family were discussing in the meeting hall.
At this moment, a burly youth dressed in green cloth and carrying a five-foot-long sword entered. This youth was Xiao Feng.
"Greetings, Patriarch, Teacher, and Elders!”
"Yes!" Xiao Bieli nodded slightly and went straight to the point." How's the intel?”
"I'm glad I didn't fail you," Xiao Feng said respectfully.”
"Oh! Tell me quickly." Hearing this, the three elders, Xiao Zhan, and the higher-ups of the Xiao Family were all pleasantly surprised. They secretly praised Xiao Feng's outstanding ability, and at the same time, they also secretly praised Xiao Bieli's ability to judge people.
After taking a sip of the tea that Xiao Bieli handed over, Xiao Feng said,""I've gathered some information. The two families have already found the source of the herbs in the city. Two days ago, the two families bought a batch of medicinal herbs worth 900,000 gold coins from this medicinal herb shop. This batch of medicinal herbs would arrive in Wu Tan City this afternoon. The two clans had only paid a deposit of three hundred thousand for these medicinal ingredients. The remaining six hundred thousand was still on credit. The team that was guarding the medicinal ingredients were the elite guards of the two clans. There were forty-seven Dou Zhe, five Dou Shi and two Da Dou Shi.”
"900,000! What a big deal! It seemed that they had decided to burn their bridges.”After listening to Xiao Feng's detailed explanation, Xiao Zhan could not help but raise his eyebrows. He then said coldly," If this batch of medicinal herbs is gone halfway, then the last straw that these two families rely on will be..."
The three elders also revealed a cold light in their eyes. They could not deny Xiao Zhan's words.
Xiao Bieli naturally understood. He stood up slightly and said,"Leave this matter to me. If it's me who makes a move, I guarantee that no fish will escape.”
"Yes!" Xiao Zhan nodded." I'll leave this matter to you, Li."”
"Let's go, Feng. It's time for you to participate in some actual combat.”Nodding his head, Xiao Bieli turned around and walked out.
"Yes, sir!" Xiao Feng responded and followed.
Immediately, the master and disciple left the Xiao family's mansion one after another.
