BATTLE THROUGH THE HEAVEN
the Xiao clan's

After sitting for almost an hour, a beautiful maid finally walked in. Both of his hands carried silver trays, and in the middle of the tray was a faint red ring.

Taking the silver tray and sending back the maid, Ya Fei personally handed the item to Xiao Yan and smilingly said: "Old Sister, the cauldron as well as all the alchemy ingredients you need are all in the 'Storage Ring'".

Stretching out a hand to take out the storage ring, Xiao Yan let it roll around in his palm then weakly nodded. Yao Lao's voice was also heard at the right time: “Oke. After refining the Qi Gathering Pill, I will bring it to you. ”

Ya Fei's pretty eyes were filled with excitement as the shei quickly nodded.

“Alright, there is no need for you to send me out. I'll go out on my own. ”

Waving his hand, Xiao Yan took the ring and inserted it into his finger. Then, without turning around, he headed towards the back of the living room and exited. On the table, the blue jade card was still there because he did not want to owe the people much. So, he just left it there.

Staring at the receding figure left through the door, Ya Fei bit her red lips, then stepped forward to take the blue jade card into her hand. Pondering a little, he asked in a clear voice: "Uncle Gu Ni, in order to refine a Qi Collection Pill, the success rate is not that high, right?"

"Yes nih . It was said that even the success rate of Pill King Wang Gu He to refine Qi Gathering Pills was only about 7 out of 10. For a normal fourth tier alchemist, the success rate is only about 5 out of 10, ” Gu Ni said in a low voice.

"But this old man, he managed to refine on the first try ..." Ya Ya Fei said as she knitted her thin black brows.

"Who knows, maybe his luck is good ..." Gu Ni shook his head and did not care much about the matter. After all, to alchemists, luck was a huge factor in the success of pill refining. If one's luck is good, even when continuously improving several times, he will not fail.

"Could it be ...... that he is not just a fourth tier alchemist?" Ya Fei asked hesitantly after pondering a little.

“Haha, how is that possible. The number of fifth level alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire could be counted in one's hands. At that kind of status, even if it was an empire or a great power like the Misty Cloud Faction, they would all see this person as a VIP. Why would such a person come to our own auction house to auction pills. “Gu Ni laughs.

Hearing this, Ya Fei also slightly nodded her head and sighed, laughing bitterly: "Looks like I don't have enough experience. I fear that my previous doubts negatively impacted the impression this mysterious alchemist had on us in large numbers. ”

"You can't blame yourself for this. Such a big transaction, even I would not dare to answer so easily. That you are capable so far has been very good. With regards to our relationship with that alchemist, in the future, take your time and get along well. As long as he doesn't develop bad intentions towards us, then it doesn't matter. "Said Gu Ni comfortably.

Forcing a smile to her face as she nodded, Ya Fei sat listlessly on the chair, revealing her figure. As her beautiful eyes flickered, hesitating, she gently asked: "What is she doing with so many low-grade medicinal ingredients?"

“Those medicinal ingredients have the effect of stopping bleeding and strengthening bones. I think he should plan on producing a healing medicine. '' Gu Ni muttered as his brows furrowed. Similarly he said, “But with his status, why did he make this cheap healing remedy?”

Hearing this, Ya Fe's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her long fingernails tapping on the table. A moment later, aware of it, he softly said, "It seems like this old man seems to care deeply for the Xiao Clan …"

Eyebrows furrowed tightly, Gu Ni's expression suddenly turned into astonishment: "Are you saying that he wants to give the Xiao Clan healing medicine?"

"Lately I heard that the Jia Lie Clan has invited a first-rate Alchemist. "The cheap "Return of the Spring Powder" had snatched away half of the city crowd, if the Xiao Clan did not act immediately, I was afraid that their market would end up empty shamefully. '' Ya Fei's eyes flashed as she voiced her conclusion, smiling complacently she continued to explain: Old man already said that if there is a chance, there is a smile, he would cooperate with the Xiao Clan and buying so many healing ingredients at this moment could only mean one thing: what he meant to say. ”

"Heh, it seems like the Xiao Clan is really lucky this time around, while the Lie Jia Clan will be in trouble. '' After listening to Ya Fei's analysis, Gu Ni smiled. The envious expression on his face from obtaining the help of a fourth tier Alchemist was not something that any clan could accept.

Gu Ni nodded with a nod, with a fourth level Alchemist behind them, the bond with the Xiao Clan was now important.

……

Coming out of the auction house, as usual, Xiao Yan carefully circled around the street for at least half a day before finally releasing his disguise in the desolate alley.

Throwing and catching the pink "Storage Ring" in his hand, Xiao Yan was rather pleased. This kind of Storage Ring is made by an unusual type of material called "Storage Stones". The characteristic of this material is that there is a unique small space inside it where inanimate objects can be stored. Although this is very convenient, due to the rarity of the "Stone of Savings", it is very valuable. "The lowest grade "Storage Ring" in Xiao Yan's hands only had a space of about three to four square meters, yet it cost nearly 100,000 gold. In the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan had only seen his father and the first Elder Storage Ring.

Xiao Yan fiddled with the Storage Ring for a while, hesitatingly examining it. In the end he did not wear it but carefully kept it on his chest. This kind of ring was very expensive, if seen by his father or someone else, he would have a hard time explaining how he could get it.

Xiao Yan kicked the black coat into the gutter before carefully walking out of the deserted alley. After that he quickly ran back to his clan.

As Xiao Yan followed the path that passed through the clan house, he heard his father's angry voice from the Meeting Room. Eyelids twitched, Xiao Yan moved forward to quietly peek through the gap in the door.

"Damn, Jia Lie Bi is too much, he actually dared to bravely steal our business!" Inside the room, Xiao Zhan was currently on a rampage as he banged on the table. Tea from tea cups spilled all over the table.

"Right now, the Xiao Clan market had already lost a lot of traffic. The remaining traders in the market are also very worried and frightened. Some of them even secretly went to the Jia Lie Clan's market. If this continues, in half a month I fear it. '' The second elder said with a gloomy face as he gritted his teeth together furiously.

"How about ...... I bring some elites of our clan and secretly deal with those alchemists?" The third elder's gaze was fierce as he suggested this in a dark tone.

“At least there are two Da Dou Shi protecting the Alchemist, it will not be easy. '' Xiao Zhan said helplessly as he moved his hand to and fro.

“But if we continue like this, our losses will be too great. The advantage of the Wu City City market is a large part of our Xiao Clan's total revenue. '' The Third Elder was somewhat unwilling to retreat.

The corner of Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched. Right now, he could not think of a good idea.

"That day at the auction, didn't the mysterious alchemist say that there might be an opportunity where he would work with us? Seeing how Gu Ni respected him so much, his level as an alchemist was clearly not low. If he can help us, then the Jia Lie Clan will definitely lose. '' The First Elder, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke in a soft voice.

“Ai, who knows that he just rambled randomly. For people with such status, what benefits will they get from cooperating with us? For such a small profit, would they care? ”Xiao Zhan laughed bitterly and shook his head as he sat on the chair and sighed.

The three elders were all silent as well. Indeed, it was rather challenging for the Xiao Clan to establish connections with people of such status.

“F. We'll bear it for a few more days. If the Jia Lie Clan still doesn't practice self-control then don't blame us for retaliating no matter the cost! ”Licking his lips, Xiao Zhan gripped the frame of the chair as an ominous glint flashed across his eyes.

Outside the door, listening up to here, Xiao Yan faintly shrugged as his hand toyed with the storage ring on his chest. Grinning coldly, he slowly left.
