Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Uninvited

In the next few days, Xiao Yan spent almost all day guarding the side of the medicine cauldron. Although the life was extremely hard, the healing medicine full of a ring made him feel like he was resting. Quite gratified. Of course, it is worth mentioning that during the continuous refinement for nearly five days, the Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body has also unknowingly become much stronger. According to the current level, I am afraid that it has reached the level of Dou Zhe. . And under this double encouragement, Xiao Yan finally gritted his teeth and survived. While Xiao Yan was hiding in the cave, gritting his teeth and refining medicine, the atmosphere between the Xiao family and the Jialie family in Wutan City became more and more tense. Two days ago, the Jialie family saw the right time and opened the With all kinds of extremely favorable conditions for merchants, immediately, most of those merchants who were still on the sidelines began to turn to the Fangshi of the Jialie family.

For the Jialie family, this is almost a measure intended to fundamentally shake the foundation of the Xiao family. The senior members of the Xiao family, in addition to being furious, almost all began to have murderous intentions. "Damn it, I can't bear it anymore. In just five days, our Xiao family's profit has lost at least 50% to 60%. If this continues, all the markets will go bankrupt!" With a fierce face, he said angrily. In the hall, all the clansmen with high status in the family sat here, their gloomy faces showed the anger in their hearts. "It's true that we can't drag it on any longer..." The Great Elder let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Although Master Gu Ni from the Mittel Auction House has refined hundreds of bottles of healing medicine for our family, this amount is too large. It is impossible to compare with the huge number of the Jialie family. In a short period of time, we can still be in a stalemate with the Jialie family. But once the time is too long and the healing medicine is sold out, we have to return to the previous embarrassing situation. "

Sighing, the Great Elder smiled wryly and said, "Although if Guni is willing to help with all his strength, the first-grade pharmacist from the Jialie family will definitely be exhausted in number, but he is after all a member of the Miter Auction House. He rarely intervenes in family battles, and it is already surprising that he can do this now." Sitting at the top, Xiao Zhan nodded with a gloomy face. Although the healing medicines sold by the Jialie family are extremely low-grade, they are superior in large quantities and cheap prices. They are most suitable for those mercenaries who often add blood to their swords. appetite.

"If we can also invite a first-grade pharmacist, we will be able to compete with them..." Someone whispered in the hall. Hearing this, Xiao Zhan shook his head helplessly. There are very few alchemists in Wutan City. It is not easy to invite those guys who think highly of themselves. Really got a pharmacist to help. In the corner of the hall, Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning and other members of the younger generation of the family were also sitting in it. Looking at the gloomy faces of their elders, they did not dare to interrupt indiscriminately, and the atmosphere was silent and depressing.

"Sister, is that first-grade pharmacist really so strong? He actually made our Xiao family like this?" Somewhat unable to bear the dull atmosphere, Xiao Ning softly asked Xiao Yu who was beside him. Hearing this, Xiao Yu sighed, smiled wryly and said in a low voice: "A pharmacist is indeed a unique profession... A first-rank pharmacist is at most at the level of a fighter. If he fights head-on, Any elder in the family can easily kill him, but the scary thing about alchemists is not fighting head-on. They can refine magical pills that make people crazy, and with these pills, they have Incomparable appeal, in order to obtain these pills, many strong people are willing to act as pawns for alchemists."

"On the Douqi Continent, many people compare the alchemist to a poisonous beehive. As long as he pokes him, he can immediately find countless thugs. Think about the scene of being beaten by hundreds of powerful men. I'll exhaust you to death." Xiao Ning shuddered at the scene of gang fights, and then his face was filled with envy. "Don't be delusional. It's not like you don't know how harsh the conditions for becoming a pharmacist are. The odds are as small as a pie in the sky." Xiao Yu gave Xiao Ning a blank look, and Xiao Yu said unceremoniously. poured him a basin of cold water.

Feeling a bit sluggish from Xiao Yu's blow, Xiao Ning curled his lips and said, "I'm afraid our entire Xiao family is really not so lucky to have a pharmacist." Hearing this, Xiao Yugang was about to nod, but in his mind, he jumped into a black-clothed boy very abruptly. Looking at the boy's appearance, he seemed to be Xiao Yan... Shaking his head fiercely, Xiao Yu muttered in his heart: "Why would you think of that little bastard? Hmph, if that guy can become a pharmacist with his character, I'm afraid that pharmacists in this world won't be worth much."

After cursing Xiao Yan in his heart, Xiao Yu turned his gaze to the corner by the window, where the girl in Tsing Yi was quietly holding a thick and simple book, occasionally turning the pages with her fingers, her eyes fluttering, calm and elegant His appearance attracted the sneaky gazes of many of his peers nearby. "What a nice girl, but why is she so fond of that little bastard?" Shaking her head helplessly, Xiao Yu remained silent again. Sitting quietly by the window, although her mind was immersed in the books, Xun'er could also sense the oppressive atmosphere in the hall, her brows were slightly frowned, no matter what, she had also stayed in Xiao's house for more than ten years, and she did not visit monks. Looking at the Buddha's face, even if it was because of Xiao Yan, she would not really allow the Xiao family to be beaten forever by the Jialie family.

"Oh, I hope those guys won't go too far..." Sighing softly in her heart, Xun'er turned her eyes to the pages of the book again. Without Xiao Yan by her side, she almost didn't want to speak. While discussing strategies in the hall, a family guard rushed in and reported in a respectful voice: "Patriarch, there is a man in black robes outside, saying that he wants to talk to the patriarch about some cooperation matters." Hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the elders were stunned for a moment, they looked at each other, their gloomy faces suddenly turned into ecstasy, they stood up suddenly at the same time, and shouted urgently: "Please!"

Seeing Xiao Zhan and the three elders like this, everyone in the hall was a little shocked, and then looked at each other in blank dismay. "Hehe, you don't need to invite, how is Patriarch Xiao doing recently? Old man, I came here uninvited." Just as Xiao Zhan's voice fell, old laughter came from outside the door. Following the sound, a figure shrouded in a big black cloak entered the hall without haste, under the eyes of everyone. The moment the man in the black robe entered the door, Xun'er, who had been immersed in the books, suddenly raised her eyebrows, and slowly raised her small face, her autumn eyes were fixed on the black robe who entered the door.
