Less than a month after the release of Blood Clotting Powder, the Xiao Clan won seventy percent of Wu Tang City's healing medicine market. The great advantage filled the Xiao Clan with joy. Pages and doors, which were rarely used recently, are now in continuous use and are now as lively as the market.
Compared to the Xiao Clan, the Lie Jia Clan was filled with gloom. Because of their favourable ways recently, they had aroused the dislike of most of the mercenaries. Moreover, the Xiao Clan's Blood Freezing Powder was stronger than the Spring Return Powder. Therefore, the Jia Lie Clan's healing medicine business continued to be suppressed by the Xiao Clan's business. Had it not been for Xiao Clan's daily limit on the sale of their healing medicine, the Jia Lie Clan would not have had any business at all.
While their market share in the pharmaceutical industry has shrunk, there are still gains to be made. The main headache for the Lie Jia Clan lay in the large amount of medical ingredients required for them to make medicines.
The city's largest resource warehouse, the Primer Auction House, had refused to further cooperate with them. Facing this embargo on medical materials, the Jia Lie Clan was filled with anger. Despite being angry, they did not dare to use any strength to fight against the Primer Auction House. Supporting the Primer Auction House was a power that could rank among the most powerful of the entire Jia Ma Empire. A small family clan in Wu Tang City like them had no ability to provoke them.
Can't buy items from the Auction House, either, The desperate Jia Lie Clan could only purchase all the stock of medical materials stores in Wu Tang City at a price several times higher than their market value. However, this is only a temporary measure. Medical materials stores do not have the ability to meet the huge demand in the long run.
More importantly, everyone in Wu Tang City had recognized the anger and killing intent between the Xiao Clan clan and Jia Lie. Helping the Jia Lie clan now would definitely offend the Xiao clan, which was getting stronger every day. Therefore, after the sale of their first medicinal ingredients to the Jia Lie Clan, many medicinal shops did not dare to sell to them in large quantities anymore. This restriction also worsened the state of the Jia Lie Clan.
With this, the source of the Jia Lie Clan's medicinal ingredients from Wu Tang City was cut by nearly eighty percent. The remaining resources were simply too insufficient to meet the demand from the manufacture of their healing medicine. Because of this, the completely helpless Jia Lie Clan could only use a high price to purchase medicinal ingredients from other cities, barely managing to overcome the crisis caused by the shortage of medicinal ingredients. By doing this, however, the Jia Lie Clan's profits once again shrank. If not for the advantages of the healing medicine, the Jia Lie Clan would already be facing bankruptcy.
Currently in Wu Tang City, the position of the Xiao clan increased with the help of their healing medicine and even vaguely showed momentum to surpass the other two great clans.
……
Xiao Yan walked sluggishly on the street in the rowdy market. Behind him, seven to eight tall and sturdy, the big man was decorated with the uniform of the Xiao Clan guards. On all the chests of this big man, there would be four or more gold stars. Clearly, all of these large men possessed the strength of at least a four star Dou Zhe.
On the road where the flow of people was rather large, the many fierce and formidable mercenaries who gave off the scent of blood all gave a friendly smile when they saw a young man walking lazily with his hands behind his head. Sometimes, those who were more familiar would laugh asking: "Young head, have you come to patrol the market again?"
Every time he was faced with such a form of address, Xiao Yan would helplessly pull his mouth out before sighing gently. Half a month ago, Xiao Zhan suddenly placed him to lead the market in the name of training him. Regarding Xiao Zhan's actions, the Xiao Clan argued. Having someone managing the market in his teens was unheard of in the Xiao Clan. However, after considering Xiao Yan's much higher position in the clan, some finally agreed. So, Xiao Yan, who was originally resting at home, was assigned to this market.
Although the market is huge, the management is not too tiring. Which was something that comforted Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan tossed other things about the division of the streets and the discussion about the rental prices of the shops in the main locations to the old housekeeper that his father had assigned specifically to him. Every day, he would occasionally bring a large group of men to patrol the streets and manage market security issues, spending his days quietly, yet uncontrollably.
The young age of Xiao Yan and his delicate face had already made it difficult for others to have ill feelings. Moreover, whenever the discussion became interesting, he would take the limited healing medicine out of his chest pocket and hand it out for free. This caused the mercenaries who instantly had a good impression of him. Over time, the market managed by Xiao Yan had the highest number of customers returning among the Xiao Clan market.
Recalling the events for the past half a month, Xiao Yan smiled emotionally. Days like that are numbered. At most, after another half a month, he had to leave with Yao Lao on the training trip and it was at least another year or two before he returned.
Throwing away his melancholy, Xiao Yan raised his head. A bad and skinny image of the crowd came quickly at him.
Stopping his steps and staring at the ordinary-clothed little man, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed as he spoke nonchalantly: "Ke Lu, why are you here, instead of out there, making wealth?"
The monstrous-looking little man, Ke Lu, in front of him was the famous market pickpocket, the golden finger. When faced with this kind of shady job, Xiao Yan did not realistically attempt to eliminate them. He knew very well that if there was a front side, there would be a back side. Although such jobs were looked down upon, they were highly informed. Regardless of whatever happened anywhere in Wu Tan City, they would have some information about it.
"Hehe, young master," Facing Xiao Yan with a flattered smile, the thin little man named Ke Lu said with a smile: "This lowly fellow is here to tell you that I have information from my subordinates saying that Xun Er Xiao-jie was verbally insulted by a man of unknown origin outside the market. I came here after hearing about it. ”
"Oh right, Jia Lie Ao from the Jia Lie clan is also among them. It seemed like he was acquainted with the man wearing funeral clothes and was talking to Xun Er Xiao-Jie. Some people accompanied them. ”
Narrow his eyes, Xiao Yan's indifferent face gradually grew cold. With a slight bow of his head, he softly said, “Xiao Li, call the others. As long as they are alive, they should be here. ”
"Understand!" A large man replied respectfully before hurriedly turning around and running towards the interior of the market.
"Lead the way," Xiao Yan said indifferently as he turned around and raised his chin.
Seeing the sudden chill on Xiao Yan's face, Ke Lu hurriedly nodded. Not daring to utter any unnecessary words, he immediately began to lead the way.
" this bastard dared to come to the Xiao Clan's territory to persecute a member of the Xiao Clan. If I, Xiao Yan, let you leave the market unscathed, I will leave my post as head of the market! ”Licking his lips, Xiao Yan's terrifying voice made Ke Lu, who was at the forefront of leading the way, tremble.
