Following the release of the Spiritual Perception's suppression of the temperature, a cluster of uncontrollable flame suddenly soared up. A moment later, it burned a small portion of the black particles into ashes. The Spiritual Perception had to maintain the temperature of one side of the flame while raising the temperature of the other side. The tiny black particles within the medicinal cauldron finally could not endure the continuously increasing temperature and exploded. Pecks of black-colored powder appeared. It slowly floated into the ball of light red paste.
The dark-black powder dyed the latter's color even darker. When the final pinch of dark-black powder floated into the flour paste, Xiao She's hand left the fire mouth. Following the withdrawal of Xiao She's hand, the flame within the medicinal cauldron gradually extinguished. Yao Lao smiled slightly. He waved his hand and the lid of the medicinal cauldron was lifted. With a beckon of his right hand, a large cluster of dark-red flour paste leaped out of the cauldron.
Floating in the air above the mountain cave, Yao Lao glanced at the cluster of dark-red paste that was emitting a rich medicinal smell. His hand cut down from the air. Following a wave of his hand, the cluster of dark-red paste that was constantly flowing was also divided into at least a hundred tiny pieces of paste liquid. He took the Storage Ring from Xiao She's hand with one hand and with a flick of his finger, a hundred small jade bottles immediately filled the narrow mountain cave. After arranging the jade bottles, Yao Lao randomly waved his hand. The paste liquid in the air It accurately fell into the jade bottle.
After nearly five days of continuous refining, the Dou Qi in Xiao She's body had reached two star Dou Zhe. In Wu Tan City, the atmosphere between the Xiao clan and the Jia Lie clan had become increasingly tense. Two days ago, the Jia Lie clan had seized the opportunity and offered various favorable conditions to the merchants. Immediately, the majority of the merchants who were still watching had begun to turn to the Jia Lie clan's market.
"Damn it, we can't tolerate this any longer. In just five days, our Xiao clan has lost at least 50 - 60% of our profits. If this continues, all the markets will close down!”The third elder furiously cried out with a fierce expression on his face within the meeting hall. All the clan members with high statuses within the clan were seated in the hall. Their gloomy faces revealed the fury within their hearts.
"Indeed, we can't delay any longer...。。。”First Elder slowly exhaled and said,""Although Primer Auction House's Grandmaster Gu Ni has refined over a hundred bottles of healing medicine for our clan, it is impossible to compare to the enormous quantity of the Jia Lie Clan. We can still be in a stalemate with the Jia Lie Clan for a short period of time, but once the healing medicine is sold out, we will return to our previous awkward situation.”
Sighing, First Elder smiled bitterly and said,""Although if Gu Ni is willing to lend his full strength, he will definitely be able to exhaust that tier one alchemist from the Jia Lie Clan to death in terms of numbers, he is still a member of the Primer Auction House. They rarely intervene in the battles between clans.”Xiao Zhan, who was sitting at the head of the table, nodded his head with a gloomy expression. Although the healing medicine sold by the Jia Lie Clan was of a very low grade, it was sold in large quantities and at a low price. It was most suitable for the mercenaries who often added blood to their wounds.
"If we can also invite a grade one alchemist, then we will be able to contend with them.。。。。。”In the hall, someone whispered to Xiao Zhan. Hearing this, Xiao Zhan shook his head helplessly. There were very few alchemists in Wu Tan City, so it was easier said than done to invite those who thought highly of themselves. This time, the Jia Lie Clan was really lucky to get an alchemist to help them.
At a corner of the hall, Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning, and the other members of the younger generation were seated. When they saw the gloomy faces of their elders, they did not dare to interrupt. The atmosphere was silent and oppressive," Sister, is that tier one alchemist really that strong? He actually caused our Xiao family to become like this?”Unable to endure the depressing atmosphere, Xiao Ning asked Xiao Yu who was beside him.
Xiao Yu sighed softly when she heard this. She smiled bitterly and said in a low voice,"Alchemist is indeed a unique profession.。。。。。A tier one alchemist's strength was at most at the Dou Zhe level. If they were to fight head-on with any of the elders in the clan, they would be able to kill them easily. However, the terrifying thing about alchemists was not that they were able to fight head-on. They were able to refine magical medicinal pills that would make people go crazy. With these medicinal pills, they would have an incomparable ability to gather people. In order to obtain these medicinal pills, many experts were willing to be the pawns of alchemists.”
"On the Dou Qi continent, many people compare alchemists to poisonous beehives. As long as you poke them, they can immediately find countless thugs. Think about the scene of being beaten up by hundreds of experts. Even if they can't kill you, they will probably exhaust you to death.”
Just as they were discussing the strategy in the hall, a family guard hurriedly ran in and reported respectfully,"Patriarch, there's a black-robed man outside. He said that he has some cooperation matters that he wants to discuss with the patriarch.”Hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the other elders were stunned. They looked at each other, and their gloomy faces suddenly became wild with joy. They stood up at the same time and shouted,"Please!"
Seeing Xiao Zhan and the three elders like this, everyone in the hall was a little shocked." Haha, there's no need to invite me. How has Clan Leader Xiao been?" I came uninvited." As soon as Xiao Zhan's voice fell, an old laughter came from outside the door. A figure covered in a black cloak entered the hall unhurriedly.
Looking at the black-robed man, Xiao Zhan and the three elders quickly walked out from the table and said with a smile,""Old sir, the clan is very busy and Xiao Zhan did not come out to welcome you.”
"Haha, there's no need for formalities." An old voice faintly laughed from under the black robe.
Xiao Zhan nodded his head fervently and winked at the three elders. He quickly stepped aside and said with a smile,"Old sir, please take a seat." The black-robed man smiled and nodded. He did not stand on ceremony and directly walked up to sit at the side of the leader's seat.
Seeing how Xiao Zhan and the others were treating the black-robed man with such respect, the younger generation of clan members could not help but whisper to each other. Numerous curious gazes continuously swept over the black-robed man. When they heard the elders beside them mention the identity of the black-robed man as an alchemist, their eyes immediately became heated and filled with worship. No matter where one was, an alchemist was always the occupation that made people feel the most reverence.
"Elder sister, isn't that the mysterious alchemist that I saw at the auction the other day?”Staring at the black-robed man with shining eyes, Xiao Ning pulled Xiao Yu's sleeve and said anxiously.
"Yes." Xiao Yu nodded slightly. Her pretty eyes paused on the black-robed person. Her pretty face contained some surprise."I didn't expect this old gentleman to really come to our Xiao family. It seems that the cooperation he said last time wasn't just a casual remark.。。。。。With his help, the Xiao family's predicament this time should be able to be smoothly resolved.”
"Ke ke, old mister, may I know why you have come to the Xiao clan today?”Xiao Zhan asked with a smile as he personally took a cup of warm tea.
"I just happened to pass by here, so I wanted to come over and take a look at the genius youth from your clan who relied on a little Foundation Elixir from me. Hehe, clan leader Xiao, the situation of the Xiao clan doesn't seem to be good recently?”The old voice under the black robe smiled faintly. Xiao Zhan quickly looked around the hall, but he did not see Xiao She. He could not help but smile bitterly.
Nodding his head, Xiao Zhan sighed. He frowned and said bitterly,"I believe that old mister should also know about the current situation of the Xiao family, right? The current Xiao Clan has already been squeezed out by the Jia Lie Clan by nearly fifty percent. If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid that we will also become a second-rate power in Wu Tan City.”
The black-robed person smiled and nodded. A fair hand stretched out from the black robe, and there was a faint red ring on his finger. He gently flicked the ring with his fingertip, and immediately, a light flashed. In the blink of an eye, the huge meeting table was covered with neatly arranged small jade bottles without any gaps. Although the Blood Coagulation Powder was not the best of the best, it was much more effective than the Jia Lie Clan's Rejuvenation Powder.”
Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched as he took a deep breath of the cold air."This is truly a big deal.”
In the quiet hall, many passionate eyes stared at the thousands of small jade bottles on the table. Looking at the hall that was shocked by the pills on the table, the black-robed man coughed lightly, waking Xiao Zhan up.。。。。。”Xiao Zhan's face turned slightly red as he smiled awkwardly. He looked at the black-robed man with a hint of respect in his eyes. To be able to casually take out thousands of bottles of healing medicine was not something that an ordinary alchemist 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 hesitantly asked,"How about this, our Xiao family will be in charge of selling these healing medicines. Old sir, you will take 90% of the profits, and the remaining 10%. Hehe, although it is a little shameless, we still need this money to buy some things.”
After saying that, Xiao Zhan looked at the black-robed man in front of him nervously, afraid that his conditions would make him dissatisfied. The Xiao family now had to rely on this mysterious alchemist.”The black-robed man chuckled and slowly shook his head.
Seeing the black-robed man's actions, Xiao Zhan's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to open his mouth again and remove the last layer, the old voice made him freeze on the spot, not knowing what to do." Patriarch Xiao, you're too polite. Although I refined the pill, selling it is not an easy job. How can I take advantage of you like this?"。。。。。Let's be fair, 50 - 50, hehe.”
