Chapter 23: A Helping Hand
And when Xiao Yu cut off the Wu family's medicine road, the war between the Wu family and the Xiao family in the entire Shangjing City became even more tense. The faint depressive atmosphere has gradually spread.
Since the Eight Veins Huiwu, the Wu family, which has monopolized a large number of medicinal materials, has thrown out all kinds of measures that are beneficial to merchants. Under such measures, many retail investors have turned to the Wu family.
Although the Wu family's medicine shop has been transferred to the Xiao family, as long as it has popularity, it is easy to recover the loss of a medicine shop.
And a few days ago, the only alchemist of the Xiao family announced that he would leave the Xiao family and officially join the Wu family.
"Damn, this crumb! The Xiao family has raised him for so long, but he didn't expect to be bought by the Wu family so easily, I'll fuck his grandma, this dog calf, it's really not a thing!" In the conference hall, a white-haired old man, his eyes were split, like a violent god, his face was full of fierce light, and between his words, he was full of ferocity.
And at this moment, in the council hall, dozens of clansmen with no low status were also sitting here at the same time, their faces were quite gloomy, obviously, for the Wu family's grave-digging action, the hearts of everyone in the Xiao family were filled with anger.
"If you can't get a sufficient amount of medicinal materials, even if you have a huge family, you won't be able to improve the alchemist's Dan Dao entry, and the attraction of the alchemist will really be greatly reduced. The name of betrayal, although despicable, is also expected by me. ”
Sighing slowly, Xiao Baizhan's eyes were full of worry, and then he said slowly: "What worries me the most is not just this......
His face sank like water, Xiao Baizhan's tone was sharp, and the teacup he was holding in his hand suddenly broke out with a soft "bang", and then shattered one by one. Tea splashed, and the ground was wet.
"The Wu family's financial strength has been shown in this annual auction, decades of accumulation, 13 million huge assets, if it explodes in a short period of time, it is enough for our Xiao family to suffer an unprecedented disaster. ”
Xiao Baizhan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and then said in a deep voice: "In addition, the medicinal material market has been completely monopolized by it at this moment, if Sun Ning arrives there and then helps the Wu family start refining medicine, in a short period of time, my Xiao family's pill market will also be crushed by it." ”
"The patriarch is right, this matter really can't be delayed any longer......" Sighing slowly, a white-haired old man holding a feather fan said in a condensed voice: "In just a few days, the loss of my Xiao family has reached about thirty percent, if it goes on like this for a long time, I am afraid that there will be no place for my Xiao family to stand in the capital!"
"In the past few days, the Wu family has even launched a blood return pill, which has begun to gradually spread outward in the market, and the results achieved are also quite good......
Xiao Baizhan's face was gloomy, he sighed slowly, and said slowly to the Xiao family people present: "And this time the blood pill was originally my Xiao family's thing, but because of Sun Ning's betrayal, it fell into the hands of the Wu family, and now it is actually sold in a grand manner to confront my Xiao family!"
Xiao Baizhan's tone was low, the killing intent in his eyes swept out, and the powerful Xuan Qi fluctuations emanated, as if he was a halberd-wielding god, fighting alone in all directions. This kind of strong and domineering Xuan Qi fluctuation actually caused many Xiao family elders, and the clothes behind their backs were soaked with a layer of cold sweat.
"If this continues, the healing pills in our Xiao family's inventory will only be able to support three days, and after three days, if there is no solution, I am afraid that the pill market will be completely occupied by the Wu family!"
"If you get the help of an alchemist again, won't this situation be reversed?"
In the corner, a clear voice came, and following the prestige, a trace of bitterness immediately filled Xiao Baizhan's face. After pondering for a long time, he slowly explained:
"Alchemists, this is a supreme profession on the Fengyun Continent, all kinds of methods, in the end, it is not as good as the way of alchemy, therefore, their status is quite respected, and ordinary families can't get into their eyes. ”
Looking at Xiao Yu's somewhat resentful face, Xiao Baizhan said slowly: "Moreover, there are very few alchemists in the capital here, even with the background of the eight clans, it may not be able to enshrine an alchemist." At this time, where can there be an alchemist to save us from this crisis?
Hearing this, Xiao Yu also pondered for a while, and then said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
Alchemist is indeed a unique profession... An alchemist who has entered the god realm, his strength is only hovering at the martial artist level at most, presumably as long as the family elder makes a move, he can quickly kill him, after all, the soul realm is strong, which does not mean that he has a strong fighting ability.
However, the strength of the alchemist does not lie in the frontal battle, and the terrifying and powerful appeal is the capital of the alchemist's survival on the mainland in the early stage. As long as they are attached to a powerful family or sect, these alchemists will be able to refine countless crazy pills, and while accompanying their own Dan Dao entry and ascension, they will also create huge benefits for these families and sects.
A win-win situation often makes these families treat this alchemist as a guest, so to a certain extent, it also creates the general domineering character of these alchemists.
"It seems that the sword spirit's rather mysterious identity has to be used for reference these days!"
With a secret sigh, Xiao Yu held his breath and stood in place, not speaking.
Just as the hall was discussing the strategy, a family guard hurriedly ran in and reported respectfully: "Patriarch, Miss Tang Mei of the Thunder Auction House is already outside the door, saying that there are some cooperation matters, and I want to discuss a few points with the Xiao family." ”
"This chick, fast enough. ”
The young face hiding in the shadows shrank suddenly, and then the almost undetectable arc at the corner of his mouth also slowly rose, leaving no trace and shrunk into the shadows, Xiao Yu's figure was almost drowned by many Xiao family members.
Hearing this, Xiao Baizhan and the elders of the Xiao family were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other, and in their eyes, a touch of disbelief could be seen.
Quickly throwing away the look of surprise, Xiao Baizhan's face returned to calm again, and he said urgently: "Please!"
With a gust of fragrant wind, Tang Mei's charming figure appeared in Xiao Yu's sight, and her pupils couldn't help but shrink when she looked at this beautiful woman, and retreated a few points without leaving a trace, hiding her figure.
Although it has the effect of a disguise mask, coupled with the momentum at that time, it is already very different from now, but in front of this cunning woman like a fox, Xiao Yu is still not sure that he will hide himself completely.
With a shallow laugh, Tang Mei looked at the many elders of the Xiao family in the hall, smiling gently, but there was a different charm: "Hehe, Patriarch Xiao, it seems that the recent situation of the Xiao family should not be optimistic!"
The eyebrows were slightly raised, a touch of helplessness flashed on Xiao Baizhan's face, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly said against the guest: "Miss Tang Mei came, what is the matter?" Xiao is quite curious, ordinary family, Miss Tang has never condescended to ......."
Slowly finding a seat, the smile on Tang Mei's face became more and more intense, as charming and sultry as ever, so that many elders in the hall secretly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Slowly picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, Tang Mei sighed slowly, and suddenly said: "Patriarch Xiao, nobleman, gave me a lot of surprise, this time, I'm afraid you want to thank Little Master Xiao Yu......"
"Xiao Yu?"
Xiao Baizhan's face froze, and he immediately exclaimed in disbelief: "What does this matter have to do with Xiao Yu?"
Ignoring Xiao Baizhan's question, the teacup in Tang Mei's hand was also gently put down after a while. Licking her lips, she didn't directly answer Xiao Baizhan's inquiry, Tang Mei's voice suddenly became serious in the next moment:
"The Thunder Auction House will stop providing any medicinal materials to the Wu family in the future, and that part of the share will also be transferred to the Xiao family. ”
The sound was not loud, but it could be clearly transmitted throughout the entire council hall, and after hearing such news, many gasping voices were also transmitted in the next moment.
And in a dark corner at this moment, a sigh of relief finally sounded.
