In the brightly lit hall, the atmosphere was oppressive and depressing. A small green jade bottle was placed on the table in the middle of the hall. A faint medicinal smell was emitted from it. There were quite a number of people sitting in the hall. From their clothes, it was obvious that they were the higher-ups of the Jia Lie Clan. Jia Lie Ku, who he had seen today, was among them. On the left side of the main seat of the hall, a young man in white lazily leaned back in his chair. From time to time, a hint of lewdness would flash across his eyes. It destroyed the appearance of her face.
At this moment, one of the young man's hands was slowly drilling into the clothes of the pretty female servant standing at the side. His unrestrained manner did not show any restraint even though there were many people around. Under the young man's profanities, the pretty female servant's face turned slightly pale. Her eyes were moist and her delicate body continuously trembled. However, she did not dare to make the slightest sound.”
Ignoring the white clothed youth's rude actions, Jia Lie Bi stared at the small green bottle on the table with a gloomy expression. Jia Lie Bi's old eyes narrowed slightly, his expression extremely ugly: "Do you still remember that mysterious alchemist we met at the auction? Looking at his attitude at that time, it seemed that he favored the Xiao Clan very much. If this Blood Coagulation Powder was refined by him, then we would be in trouble. That person might be a grade three alchemist.”
Hearing the name of a tier three alchemist, the white-clothed young man finally stopped his hand that was moving around the female servant's body. He unwillingly withdrew his hand and took a step forward to pick up the small green bottle. He placed it under his nose and sniffed it gently. After which, he poured out a little more and gently rubbed it between his fingers. He coldly laughed,"What bullsh * t tier three alchemist. The medicinal strength of this Blood Clotting Powder is indeed a little better than the Spring Rejuvenation Powder. However, from the looks of it, the tier of the person who refined it is clearly lower than mine. The reason why it has such medicinal strength is most likely because his medicinal formula is a little special.”
Everyone present secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If the Xiao Clan really had the help of a Tier 3 Alchemist, the Jia Lie Clan would probably not have any chance of turning the tables around.'Based on my experience, the Alchemist that the Xiao Clan invited might be a rookie who had just entered the industry. He had borrowed the medicinal formula from an unknown source to refine this Blood Clotting Powder.”The white-clothed young man's face contained a faint disdain.
"Haha, big brother Liu Xi was able to see through the owner's bottom line from a small bottle of medicinal pills.”Jia Lie Ao smiled, his smile seemed to have a touch of flattery.
"This is only the basic skill of an alchemist.”The white-robed young man called Liu Xi humbly shook his head. However, the hidden smugness on his face did not escape the eyes of the group of old foxes present.
"Although the medicinal strength of the Spring Rejuvenation Powder is indeed inferior to the Blood Coagulation Powder, the difference between the two is not much. The popularity of the market has plummeted mainly because we have raised the price too drastically some time ago. After we adjust the price back, the popularity will slowly return. However, it will be somewhat difficult to return to the previous situation. After all, this Blood Coagulation Powder will pull away many customers. In the future, the Xiao clan will also interfere in the healing medicine market of Wu Tan City.”Jia Lie Bi mused for a moment before slowly speaking.
"You want to adjust the price?" Hearing this, Liu Xi frowned, clearly unwilling. He was already used to selling at a high price, and now that the price had suddenly dropped, he really couldn't stand it. Seeing Liu Xi's expression, Jia Lie Bi cursed him for being brainless in his heart and could only explain with a smile,"Mr. Liu Xi, the current market is different from before. In the past, we could monopolize the healing medicine market in Wu Tan City, but now, we can't. Therefore, we have to lower our prices to pull back our popularity.”
Shaking his head helplessly, Liu Xi curled his lips and said,""You can do whatever you want. However, even if you reduce the price, you have to give me three times the previous price.”
The corners of Jia Lie Bi's eyes twitched involuntarily. A trace of anger rose in his heart, but his face still had a warm smile. However, this smile looked like," Haha, of course, we will definitely pay Mister Liu Xi's share in full according to the agreement.”
"Yes." Liu Xi nodded his head in satisfaction and sat back on his chair. He hugged the pretty maid beside him and started to move his hands up and down.
"Mister Liu Xi, we currently do not have much Spring Rejuvenation Powder left. I have already sent people to the Primer Auction House to purchase medicinal ingredients. At that time, I'm afraid I will have to trouble you.”Jia Lie Bi smiled and added,"In addition, I was lucky enough to purchase a pair of rare Lamia from the Tager Desert yesterday. I've already sent them to your room."”
Hearing that he was going to refine medicine again, Liu Xi's face was clearly a little impatient. However, when the words 'Snake Girl' entered his ears, his impatience immediately turned into lasciviousness. His eyes lit up as he nodded," As long as there are enough medicinal ingredients, Clan Leader need not worry about the quantity of the Spring Rejuvenation Powder.”
Seeing that Liu Xi had nodded his head so easily, the corner of Jia Lie Bi's mouth lifted into a smug and disdainful smile. He coldly laughed in his heart,"A trash whose head is filled with lust, besides being able to refine medicine, he is useless.”
Shaking his head with a cold smile, Jia Lie Bi lifted his teacup and took a sip. After which, he began to discuss with Liu Xi about some romantic affairs that he was most interested in. After chatting with Liu Xi for a while, a clansman hurriedly rushed into the hall and quickly walked to Jia Lie Bi's side. He lowered his head and whispered into his ear, smiling as he listened to the clansman. A moment later, the smile on Jia Lie Bi's face gradually stiffened, and the teacup in his hand turned to dust with a "Ka Cha" sound. The powder mixed with the tea dripped down his palm.
"Damned Primer Auction House, they actually played this trick with me.”Jia Lie Bi stood up with an awe-inspiring expression and angrily roared. A violent aura suddenly rushed out from his body, and a small wind blew in the air. Jia Lie Ao, who was the closest to Jia Lie Bi, was pressured by this aura until his chest was a little breathless. He hurriedly took a few steps back and shouted,"Father."
Jia Lie Ao's shout caused Jia Lie Bi to regain some clarity. His face twitched slightly before he coldly sat down and said: "The Primer Auction House has now refused to sell medicinal ingredients to our Jia Lie clan.”
As soon as he said that, the hall was in an uproar. Everyone looked at each other in horror." In the face of sufficient benefits, who would maintain meaningless neutrality?”With a cold snort, Jia Lie Bi slowly exhaled. He glanced at Liu Xi, who was in a sorry state due to his imposing manner, and coldly said: "I think that this matter is related to the Xiao family.”
"What do we do now? Without enough medicinal herbs, our Spring Rejuvenation Powder will soon be sold out. At that time, it will be our turn to leave the market empty.”Jia Lie Ku said anxiously.
Clenching his teeth, Jia Lie Bi coldly said: "There are still many medicinal herb shops on our side. First, send someone to gather the medicinal herbs in their hands and try to hold on for a period of time. If it really doesn't work, then go to other cities to buy medicinal herbs at a high price. I don't believe that the Xiao family can interfere in other cities.”As he spoke, Jia Lie Bi took another teacup.
The appearance of the Blood Coagulation Powder was like a violent storm. With a thunderous momentum, it quickly seized over half of the healing medicine market in Wu Tan City. Moreover, it allowed the Xiao Clan's market to recover its former popularity within a short two days, or even surpass it. On the second day after the Blood Coagulation Powder was released, the price of the Jia Lie Clan's Spring Rejuvenation Powder had gradually returned to its original price.
Due to the fact that the Jia Lie Clan's profiteering had already caused the majority of the mercenaries to feel disgusted, even if the Jia Lie Clan had lowered the price, the market would not be as lively as before. Wu Tan City was close to the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and the number of mercenaries in the city was extremely large. The Magical Beast Mountain Range was filled with danger, so the mercenaries 'demand for healing medicine was extremely high.
Therefore, even though the Xiao Clan had snatched over half of the healing medicine market, the Jia Lie Clan was still making profits. However, their profits had shrunk by more than half compared to the previous period. The appearance of the Blood Clotting Powder was like a storm, quickly seizing over half of Wu Tan City's healing medicine market with lightning speed. This allowed the Xiao Clan's market to recover its former popularity within two days, perhaps even surpassing it.
The explosive sales of healing medicine far exceeded the expectations of the Xiao Clan, 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 were already waiting there. Usually, the healing medicine in the market would be sold out in the afternoon. The mercenaries who could not buy the Blood Coagulation Powder could only go to the Jia Lie Clan's market to buy the lower quality Rejuvenation Powder.
With the indirect help of the mercenaries 'large demand for healing medicine, the Jia Lie Clan could be considered to have barely managed to stand firm in the face of the Xiao Clan's fierce attacks. The situation in the future would depend on who had the greater stock of healing medicine.
" Hehe, the sales of the Blood Clotting Powder are really crazy. If it wasn't for the old gentleman sending another batch, I'm afraid our warehouse would have been emptied.”Xiao Zhan held a small green bottle in his hand like a treasure and said with a smile.
"Yes, in just a few days, the popularity of our market has more than doubled compared to the peak of the past. The losses from the previous period have also gradually been recovered. Hehe, including the sales of the healing medicine, the profits of these few days alone are already comparable to the income of the Xiao family in the past one or two months.”The First Elder, who had always been calm, could not help but become talkative in the face of such a great harvest. His wrinkled old face was just like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Ai, this old mister is really too forthright. However, it's fortunate that I just asked about the medicinal ingredients needed for the healing medicine. In the future, let us worry about the medicinal ingredients. The Xiao family has already obtained too many benefits from him. If they continue to be greedy, I'm afraid that the losses will outweigh the gains.”Xiao Zhan took out a piece of paper from his pocket and muttered.
