Chapter Seventy-Four: Uninvited
In the next few days, Xiao Yan almost guarded the side of the medicine tripod all day long, although the days were extremely hard, but the healing medicine full of precepts made him feel quite relieved to move martial arts in addition to resting.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that in the continuous refining of medicine for nearly five days, the fighting energy in Xiao Yan's body has unconsciously become much stronger, and at the current level, I am afraid that it has reached the level of a fighter's one-star martial arts.
And under this double encouragement, Xiao Yan finally gritted his teeth and survived the martial arts.
When Xiao Yan was hiding in the cave and gritting his teeth to refine medicine, in Utan City, the atmosphere between the Xiao family and the Galie family was becoming more and more tense.
For the Galie family, this is almost a measure to fundamentally shake the foundation of the Xiao family, and the high-level members of the Xiao family, in addition to being angry, almost began to use murderous intentions.
......
"Damn, I can't bear it any longer, in just five days, our Xiao family has lost at least fifty or sixty percent of its profits, and if it continues like this, all the markets will go out of business!" In the conference hall, the three elders were full of fierce light, and said angrily.
In the hall, all the clansmen in the family who were not low in status were sitting here, their gloomy faces showing the anger in their hearts.
"It's true that it can't be delayed any longer..."The Great Elder exhaled slowly, and said, "Although Master Gu Ni of the Mitre Auction House has refined hundreds of bottles of healing medicine for our family, this amount is too small, and it is impossible to compare with the huge quantity of the Galie family, in a short period of time, we can still stalemate with the Galie family, but once the time is too long, the healing medicine is sold, we have to return to the previous embarrassing situation." ”
Sighing, the Great Elder smiled bitterly: "Although Gu Nikan will definitely be able to kill the first-grade alchemist of the Galie family in terms of numbers, but after all, he is a member of the Mitre Auction House, and they have rarely intervened in the battle between families, and it is already very surprising that they can do this now." ”
Xiao Zhan, who was sitting in the first place, nodded with a gloomy face, although the level of healing medicine sold by the Galie family was extremely low-level, but it was superior to the large quantity and cheap, which was most suitable for the appetite of those mercenaries who often added blood to the knife edge.
"If we can also invite a first-grade alchemist, then we can compete with them..."In the hall, I don't know who whispered a martial arts.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan shook his head helplessly, there are very few alchemists in Utan City, and it is not easy to invite those guys who think very highly of themselves, this time the Galie family doesn't know what shit luck they have stepped on, and they really got an alchemist to help them in martial arts.
In the corner of the hall, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning and other members of the younger generation of the family were also sitting in it, looking at the gloomy faces of their own families, they did not dare to interject indiscriminately, and the atmosphere was silent and suppressive.
"Sister, that first-class alchemist, is it really so strong, and it actually made our Xiao family like this?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yu sighed and said in a low voice with a wry smile: "Alchemist is indeed a unique profession... A first-class alchemist, the strength is at most at the fighter level, if it is a frontal fight, any elder in the family can easily kill him, but the terrible thing about the alchemist is not a head-on battle, they can refine the magical elixir that makes people crazy, and with these elixirs, they have unparalleled appeal, in order to get these elixirs, many strong people are willing to act as pawns for the alchemist. ”
"On the Douqi Continent, many people compare the alchemist to a poisonous honeycomb, as long as he stabs him, he can immediately find countless thugs, think about the scene of being beaten by hundreds of strong people, then even if he can't kill you, I'm afraid he will have to tire you to death. ”
Hearing the scene of the group fight, Xiao Ning shivered at first, and then his face was full of envy.
"Don't be delusional, how harsh the conditions for becoming an alchemist are, you don't know that the odds are smaller than pie in the sky. With a blank look at Xiao Ning, Xiao Yu unceremoniously poured him a basin of cold water on him.
Feeling a little sluggish by Xiao Yu's blow, Xiao Ning pouted and said, "I'm afraid that our entire Xiao family really doesn't have the blessing to produce an alchemist." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yugang wanted to nod, but in his mind, he jumped into a black-shirted young man very abruptly, looking at the appearance of the young man, it seemed to be Xiao Yan...
Shaking his head fiercely, Xiao Yu muttered in his heart: "How can you think of that little bastard?" Hmph, if that guy's character can become an alchemist, I'm afraid that the alchemist in this world will be worthless. ”
After cursing Xiao Yan in his heart, Xiao Yu turned his eyes 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 flowing, and her calm and elegant appearance attracted many peers nearby to secretly watch Wu Dongkun.
"What a good girl, but why do you like that little bastard so much?" Shaking her head helplessly, Xiao Yu remained silent again.
Sitting quietly by the window, although she sank her mind into the books, Xun'er could also sense the oppressive atmosphere in the hall, and her eyebrows frowned slightly, no matter what, she had also been in the Xiao family for more than ten years, and she didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, even if it was because of Xiao Yan, she would not really let the Xiao family be hit by the Galie family and never turn over.
"Alas, I hope those guys won't go too far..."With a light sigh in her heart, Xun'er turned her gaze to the pages again, without Xiao Yan by her side, she almost didn't want to speak and move the arts.
Just as the hall was discussing the strategy, a family guard hurriedly ran in and reported respectfully: "Patriarch, there is a black-robed man outside, saying that there are some cooperation matters that he wants to discuss with the patriarch in detail. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan and several elders were stunned, glanced at each other, their gloomy faces suddenly rose into ecstasy, and several people stood up at the same time, and shouted urgently: "Please!"
Seeing Xiao Zhan and the three elders like this, everyone in the hall was a little stunned, and then looked at each other.
"Hehe, no need to invite, Patriarch Xiao has been doing lately? Old man, I came uninvited. Xiao Zhan's voice had just fallen, and the old man's laughter came from outside the door.
As the voice came in, a figure shrouded in a large black cloak, in full view of everyone, crossed into the hall without hurrying and moving.
At the moment when the black-robed man entered the door, Xun'er, who had been immersed in the books, suddenly raised her eyebrows, slowly raised her little face, and stared closely at the black-robed person who entered the door.
