As the few days passed, Xiao Yan spent almost every day beside the cauldron. Although these days were extremely tiring, the Storage Ring, which was filled with healing medicine, made him feel grateful as he rested.
Of course, another thing that needed to be mentioned was that after nearly five days of continuous alchemy, the Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body involuntarily became much stronger. Judging from his current progress, he had almost reached the level of a One Star Dou Zhe.
With these two good news, Xiao Yan managed to grit his teeth and survive the ordeal.
When Xiao Yan hid in the cave to painstakingly refine the medicine, the situation in Wu Tan City continued to unravel. The atmosphere between Xiao and Jia Lie Clans became increasingly tense, just two days ago the Jia Lie Clan took the opportunity to create various market rules that merchants liked, he said, it caused most of the merchants who had originally observed from the sidelines to start moving into the market of the Jia Lie Clan.
Faced with a measure that was clearly aimed at shaking the foundations of the Xiao Clan, all the high-ranking members of the Xiao Clan came to be possessed by intense anger that threatened to evolve into killing intent.
……
"Damn it, I can't stand it anymore, in just five days, our Xiao Clan has lost at least 50% to 60% of its profits; if this continues, all of our markets will go bankrupt! ”In the Clan Meeting Room, the third Elder exclaimed furiously, an ominous glint on his face.
All the members of the higher position clans sat inside the large hall; the anger in their hearts was expressed by their gloomy complexions.
"It really cannot be drawn any further ..." The first elder slowly spat out every word, continuing, he said: "Although master Gu Ni of the Primer Auction House had helped us by making over a hundred bottles of healing medicine, this amount was too little; it was truly unrivalled by the large number of the Jia Lie Clan. Although we might be able to maintain the impasse with the Jia Lie Clan in the short term, in the long run, as the healing medicines run out, we will once again arrive at the awkward situation before. ”
The first elder sighed before letting out a bitter laugh and said: “Although if Gu Ni is willing to fully support us, based on quantity, it is, we will definitely be able to drag him out with the first level alchemist of the Jia Lie Clan. However, he was from the Primer Auction House, they rarely involved themselves in clan clashes. Helping that far was already very unexpected. ”
Sitting on the leader's chair, Xiao Zhan nodded, a grim expression on his face. Although the quality of the healing medicine sold by the Jia Lie Clan was low, the amount was huge and the price was cheap. This matched the preference of mercenaries, who were often caught in bloody situations.
"If we can also obtain first-rate Alchemists, we will be able to fight them ..." In the large hall someone complained.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan helplessly shook his head. There were only a few Alchemists in Wu Tan City; seducing one of those arrogant people was easier said than done. This time, the Jia Lie Clan had attacked the lottery and actually received the help of an alchemist.
In the corner of the hall, Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning and the younger clan generation members were also present. When they looked at the gloomy expressions on their elders, they did not dare to recklessly interrupt and hence they held the suffocating atmosphere in silence.
"Big sister, are those first tier alchemists so powerful? How could he force our Xiao Clan into this situation? ”Against being unable to tolerate the oppressive atmosphere, Xiao Ning quietly asked Xiao Yu who was sitting beside him.
Xiao Yu gently sighed, letting out a bitter laugh, he replied gently, "Indeed, the alchemist is a very unique profession … The strength of a first-rate alchemist was the best at the Dou Zhe level and in a direct battle one of the elders in the clan could easily kill him. But the true terror of an alchemist was not in direct combat, but rather that they were able to create potions that drove people crazy. With this potion, they had an unrivalled ability to gather supporters. Many strong practitioners were willing to serve under an alchemist for the sake of obtaining this potion. ”
As Xiao Ning imagined the scene surrounded by fighters, she trembled as an envious expression spread across her face.
"Don't delusional, you should know about the harsh requirements to become an alchemist. The chances were even smaller than the meat pie that fell from heaven. "Turning his eyes towards Xiao Ning, Xiao Yu mercilessly splashed cold water on him.
Restored by Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Ning hesitantly curled her lips as she said, "I'm afraid our entire Xiao Clan doesn't have the wealth to appear with an alchemist. ”
Although Xiao Yu nodded in agreement with these words, in his mind a young man wearing black clothes suddenly appeared. Looking closely at the features of the young man, it seemed like Xiao Yan …
Mercilessly disposing of that thought, Xiao Yu whispered to himself in his heart: "How can I think of that little? Huh, if someone with such a personality was able to become an alchemist, all alchemists in this world would be worthless. ”
After cursing Xiao Yan in his heart, Xiao Yu directed his gaze to a corner near the window, there, a green-clothed young girl quietly grasped a thick and simple book, which was simple, occasionally moved his finger to turn the page as his eyes scanned the contents of the book. This calm and elegant appearance attracted the attention of many of his comrades.
"So good girl, why should she support that little girl?" Xiao Yu reluctantly shook his head as he once again maintained his silence.
Quietly sitting beside the window, even though his attention was fixed on the book, Xun Er was able to sense the miserable atmosphere in the hall. His slender eyebrows were slightly knitted. No matter what was said, he had also stayed in the Xiao Clan for over ten years. Moreover, even if it was not for Xiao Yan, he would never have let the Xiao Clan be beaten up by the Lie Jia Clan badly.
"Huh. I hope - it will not be superfluous .. ”Xun Er sighed as she once again returned to her book. Without Xiao Yan by his side, he practically had no reason to speak.
As plans continued to be discussed within the hall, a clan guard rushed in and reported in a respectful tone: "Clan leader, there is someone wearing a black robe outside. He said that he had some collaboration issues to discuss with the clan leader. ”
Hearing these words, Xiao Zhan and the other elders were slightly surprised. Exchanging glances, their once gloomy expressions suddenly surged with ecstasy. Several of them simultaneously stood together and immediately ordered: "Quick get him in!"
Seeing the expressions on Xiao Zhan and the three elders, everyone in the hall was somewhat amazed, immediately exchanging glances with each other.
"Ha ha . There is no need to invite me in Clan Leader Xiao, how are you? This old man came uninvited. ”Laughter Yao Lao rang out from behind the door just as the sound of Xiao Zhan's order faded.
Along with laughter, a figure shrouded in a huge black coat unhurriedly walked into the hall under the gaze of the crowd.
At the moment the person wearing the black dress stepped through the door, Xun Er, who had been inserting herself into her book, suddenly raised her eyebrows. Slowly raising his small face, his autumn spring water vigilantly stared at the black-robed person who had just entered.
