Chapter 34 Timely Cooperation
When Xiao Yichen meditated and restored his mental power, Yao Lao immediately raised a question. Looking at his master, Xiao Yichen no longer concealed it. He practiced not the fighting spirit in this world, but another kind of exercise. After that kind of exercise was cultivated above the Fighter realm, an innate vital energy would appear in his body. This vital energy was recorded at most only two attributes, but he had five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth for some reason. After hearing this, Yao Lao just praised Xiao Yichen for his good luck. This technique could at least be worthy of the heavenly level. When this statement came out, Xiao Yan hugged Yichen and jumped up excitedly. Only Xiao Yichen knew his own affairs, so he just smiled bitterly.
In the next few days, Xiao Yichen and his brothers were almost always guarding the edge of the medicine cauldron. One practiced after resting and the other practiced. Although life was extremely hard, the healing medicine full of two snatches made the two feel quite relieved while resting.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that during the continuous refining of medicine for nearly five days, Xiao Yan's fighting spirit became much more powerful without realizing it. At the current level, he probably has reached the Fighter Star. Xiao Yichen even broke through to the Eight Star Douzhe. (After more than a year of understanding, he has already distinguished the strength of each level of the world's skill.)
Under these multiple encouragement, Xiao Yichen and the others finally gritted their teeth and hid in the cave to refine medicine. At this time, the atmosphere between the Xiao family and the Gale family in Wutan City was getting tense. Two days ago, the Gale family took the opportunity and offered various conditions that were extremely favorable to the merchants. Suddenly, most of the merchants who were still waiting and watching began to turn to the market of the Gale family.
As for the Gale family, this was almost a measure that wanted to fundamentally shake the foundation of the Xiao family. The senior executives of the Xiao family, while furious, almost all began to kill themselves.
Finally, on this day, when the family members gathered together for a meeting, the third elder was so angry that he wanted to take people to the Galle family to kill the first-class alchemist. Because although Master Guni at the Mitel Auction had refined hundreds of bottles of healing medicine for the family, the number was too small, and it was impossible to compare with the huge number of the Galle family. In a short period of time, he could still be stalemate with the Galle family. But once the time was too long and the healing medicine was sold, the Xiao family would have to return to the embarrassing situation before.
Just as the hall was discussing the strategy, a family guard hurried in and reported respectfully: "The patriarch, there is a man in black robe outside, saying that he wanted to talk to the patriarch for some cooperation matters."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the elders were stunned and looked at each other. The gloomy face suddenly became ecstatic. The few of them stood up at the same time and shouted anxiously: "Please!"
Seeing Xiao Zhan and the three elders in the hall, everyone in the hall was a little shocked and then looked at each other.
"Haha, don't invite me, how are you doing now? Old man, I'm here uninvited." Xiao Zhan's voice just fell, and the old laughter came from outside the door.
As the sound came in, a figure shrouded under the large black cloak passed into the hall without any haste in front of everyone.
The moment the man in black robe entered the door, Xun'er, who had been invading the books, suddenly raised her eyebrows, slowly raised her face, and Qiu Shui's eyes stared at the black robe entering the door.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Looking at the man in black robe who came in, Xiao Zhan and the three elders quickly walked out of the table, stepped forward quickly, and laughed respectfully: "Old sir, things in the clan are busy, Xiao Zhan has not come out to greet him, I hope you can forgive me."
"Haha, I won't need Xu Li." Under the black robe, the old voice smiled faintly.
Xiao Zhan nodded eagerly, gave a wink at the three elders, hurriedly made way out, and smiled: "Sir, please sit down."
The man in black nodded with a smile, and without hesitation, he walked straight up and sat down next to the first position.
Looking at Xiao Zhan and others treating the man in black robe so respectfully, the younger generation of tribesmen couldn't help but whisper, and curious eyes kept sweeping the man in black robe. When the elders beside them mentioned the identity of the alchemist in black robe, their eyes suddenly became hot and admiring. No matter where they were, alchemists were always the most awe-inspiring profession.
"Sister, isn't that person the mysterious alchemist I saw at the auction that day?" Xiao Ning stared at the man in the black robe with his eyes lit up. He pulled Xiao Yu's sleeve and said anxiously.
"Yeah." Xiao Yu nodded slightly, and his beautiful eyes were also stuck on the man in the black robe. His pretty face was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that this old man really came to our Xiao family. It seems that the cooperation he said last time was not a casual statement... If he had helped, the Xiao family's dilemma this time should be successfully resolved."
Listening to the whispers of the tribesmen beside her, Xun'er frowned slightly, and Qiu Shui's eyes stared at the bloated black-robed man. For some reason, she always seemed to feel that the black-robed man in front of her always looked a little disharmonious in terms of actions and language...
Frowning his eyebrows, he thought bitterly, and after a while, Xun'er had no choice but to give up her random thoughts helplessly. "Haha, old man, I don't know why I came to the Xiao family today?" Xiao Zhan asked with a cup of warm tea in person.
"I happened to pass by here, so I wanted to come and see my two booked apprentices." Under the black robe, the old voice smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan looked around the hall, but he had never seen the shadow of Xiao Yan and Xiao Yichen, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Haha, no need to shout, Chief Xiao, I have seen the Third Young Master, very good boy, very much for the old man, as for the Fourth Young Master, as for the Fourth Young Master, I really envy your family for having two such excellent disciples." He waved his hand and stopped Xiao Zhan from sending someone to call. The man in the black robe smiled, but the appreciation in his tone was not concealed at all. This made the faces of a boy hiding under the black robe and a long-haired boy hiding outside the hall a little embarrassed.
Hearing the black-robed man's admiration, everyone in the hall couldn't help but feel envy in their eyes. It was not easy to get such an evaluation from an alchemist of a certain level. Three of them had joy in their faces.
"That guy took all the good things." Xiao Ning curled his lips unwillingly, and his tone was full of envy.
Xiao Yu next to him smiled when he heard this, holding his cheek with his jade hand with a happy face, and muttered softly: "That bad guy didn't expect it to be pretty good." As he said that, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly his face turned slightly red.
Listening to the man in black robe, Xiao Zhan's smile on his face became even more intense, and there was a slight pride in his pupils.
"Haha, Chief Xiao, the Xiao family seems to be in a bad situation recently?" Before the smile on Xiao Zhan's face had completely spread, he was a little dulled by the old voice.
He nodded in depressedly, Xiao Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "I believe the old man should know the current situation of the Xiao family, right?"
"Well, I know a little." Nodded, the man in black robe smiled.
"Oh, the Xiao family has been exploited by the Gale family by nearly 50% of the industry. If we continue for a long time, we may become the second-rate force in Wutan City." Xiao Zhan sighed with a sigh, his frowning brows, as if he was a little old.
"Haha, although I have no close relationship with the Xiao family, I have a good deal with the two young masters. If Chief Xiao is not afraid of the old man, I will have any bad ideas, we might as well cooperate and cooperate?" The man in black robe chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan was stunned at first, and then his face was full of ecstasy. He was so full of silence that he just wanted to say this... After looking at the three elders excitedly, he nodded without hesitation: "Old sir, the Xiao family is incomparable to cooperate with you!"
A family of at least 2nd grade or above can hardly be invited by their families on weekdays, and Xiao Zhan would not think that there is anything that can impress a second grade alchemist in his family. Judging from the old man's appearance and working with their Xiao family, it seems that it is mostly because of the Xiao Yichen brothers. How could Xiao Zhan, as the leader of the clan, give up such an opportunity easily?
Seeing Xiao Zhan expressing his opinion, the man in black robe smiled and nodded. A white palm poked out from the black robe. There was a light red ring on his fingers. His fingertips flicked on the ring. Suddenly, a light flashed...
Looking at the white palm like a boy, Xiao Zhan felt a moment of loss of consciousness. This palm gave him a...a bit familiar feeling.
Before Xiao Zhan could think about where this familiar feeling came from, he was stunned by the pile of jade bottles that suddenly appeared on the table.
On the huge conference tabletop, in the blink of an eye, it was covered with neat little jade bottles without any gaps.
Looking at the countless small jade bottles that appeared out of thin air, everyone in the hall, except for the girl in green by the window, was shocked by the huge amount of pills and took a breath.
"There are 1,283 bottles of healing medicines here, and their reputation is "Qianxue San". Although I dare not say that it is the best among healing medicines, the healing effect is more significant than the "Huichun San" of the Gale family." Looking at the shocking eyes in the hall, the man in black robe still introduced softly as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Zhan twitched his mouth and took a deep breath of cold air: "This is the real big deal!"
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the quiet hall, there were a series of hot eyes staring at the thousands of small jade bottles on the table. This large-scale elixir was almost never seen by those present.
Looking at the hall where the pills on the table were shaken silently, the man in black robe coughed lightly and woke Xiao Zhan beside him up.
"Uh..." Xiao Zhan smiled awkwardly, and when he looked at the man in black, there was a hint of awe in his eyes. He could take out thousands of bottles of healing medicine at his hand. This kind of trick was not something that ordinary alchemists could do.
"Old sir, you also know the current situation of the Xiao family. We need healing medicine to bring back the lost popularity. The old sir's actions are undoubtedly a timely help for our Xiao family." Xiao Zhan sighed gratefully, pondered a little, and hesitated and tentatively: "Let's do this, our Xiao family is responsible for selling these healing medicines. The amount of income is 90% per person, and the remaining 10%. Haha, although we are a little thick-faced, we still need this money to handle some things after all. Mr., what do you think?"
After saying that, Xiao Zhan looked at the man in black robe in front of him with some anxiety, fearing that his conditions would make him dissatisfied. The current Xiao family has to rely on this mysterious alchemist.
"Hehe." The man in black robe chuckled and slowly shook his head.
Seeing the man in black robe doing this, Xiao Zhan's face changed slightly. He was about to speak again to reduce the last layer, but the old voice made him stunned in a daze.
"Captain Xiao is so polite. Although I practice the elixir, sales are not an easy job. How can you take advantage of you like this? Just be fair, 50% off, haha."
Listening to the man in black robe, the three elders and the people of the Mantang who were still anxious, opened their mouths in shock. After a while, they couldn't help but touch their ears, all of whom were a little suspicious of the authenticity of the words. This... this old man is really taking care of the Xiao family too much, right? In this situation, even if he alone makes up 100% of the profit, no one in the Xiao family dares to say he will not agree.
"There is really a pie falling from the sky..." After a glance at each other, this sentence popped up in everyone's heart.
After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Zhan slowly came to his senses, gave a deep breath, and smiled bitterly: "Old sir, your way of doing this really makes the Xiao family feel a little flattered. We are already grateful to you for helping the Xiao family at this time. How can we take advantage of you again?"
He waved his hand casually, and the man in black robe smiled faintly, "This profit is not attractive to me. If I weren't afraid that you would feel uneasy, I wouldn't be lazy to accept 50% of it."
After hearing such a big tone, Xiao Zhan had to smile bitterly and nodded.
"You can sell these elixirs as you want. I will come and take a look when I have time in the future." The man in black robe stood up and smiled: "I have some other things, so I won't stay here for a long time. Clan Chief Xiao doesn't have to send them, so I'll arrange things in the clan, haha." After that, he went straight to the outside of the hall in front of everyone.
When he reached the door, the man in black robe suddenly stopped and smiled and said, "Before he left, say more, the two sons of Chief Xiao, well, it's not bad, thank you, haha."
Listening to this sentence, Xiao Zhan was a little confused. Just as he was about to speak, the man in black robe had already floated out of the hall and gradually disappeared from the corner of his sight.
Looking at the man in black robe who disappeared, Xiao Zhan sighed lightly after a long time and smiled bitterly: "It seems that Yan'er and Chen'er have a little unusual relationship with this old man. Otherwise, if they don't know us, how could they help like this?"
The three elders looked at each other and nodded with sighs. Judging from the appreciation the old man expressed to Xiao Yan and his brothers since he entered the door, he obviously favored them. He treated the Xiao family so well, and I am afraid that he really couldn't escape their relationship.
In the hall, when many people of the same age could not help but look envious when they heard what the man in black robe left.
The girl in green by the window tilted her little head slightly, her eyes shone through the crack in the window, and at the corner, she frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed across her delicate little face.
...
After leaving the Xiao family, the man in black robe continued to move forward slowly. After the crowds around him were less, the boy's low complaint came from the black robe: "Teacher, why are you pulling me and my fourth brother out for nothing? If you are found, I don't guarantee not to give you up."
"Hehe, I just feel it. If it weren't for Xiao Zhan, where would I find such a good disciple? So thank him, it's up to him." The old voice laughed jokingly: "And it's not a bit related. Your cautious father really can't believe if I'm looking for something from his Xiao family."
Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yan looked around and asked casually: "Where are you going now?"
"Go to the auction house and disperse the refined gas to them. That's Chen'er's woman. Haha," Lao Yao joked rare, "And you have burned all the medicinal materials you practiced, so you should buy some other medicinal materials." Lao Yao pondered for a moment and smiled.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded, "You really have to see clearly. If that woman is good at character, then I don't mind making her my younger brother or sister. But if she just uses her fourth brother simply, don't blame me for being rude." Looking at Xiao Yan clenching his fists and saying fiercely, Yao Lao sighed, "I didn't expect that the relationship between you two brothers is quite good. Brothers are better than themselves in terms of talent and relationship with women. If you are not jealous, you still think about them everywhere?"
Xiao Yan walked towards the Mitel Auction and said, "The fourth brother is my relative, the closest and closest. Even Xun'er is just like him in my heart." Yao Lao responded slightly after hearing this. Unfortunately, what Xiao Yan said, who he didn't know, was that Xiao Yichen and he were both traveling from the modern country of Z to be brothers. The deep fate is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan asked with a little anticipation: "Teacher, now I can also be considered a first-rate alchemist, right?"
"Da, do you think you will become an alchemist after practicing medicine for a few days? Healing medicine is the simplest type of elixir. If you refine it into that thing, there is nothing to show off. Besides, hehe, let's talk about when you will surpass your younger brother." Yao Lao sneered and poured cold water on Xiao Yan's head mercilessly.
Rolling his eyes, Xiao Yan felt a little depressed: "I don't compare with that erratic attitude, it's impossible to compare. By the way, how can I become a real first-grade alchemist?"
"The bottom line of evaluation of first-grade alchemists in the alchemy industry is to be able to at least produce a pill-type pill, rather than a simple paste pill that is mixed together."
"It seems that there is still a little distance." Hearing this request, Xiao Yan had to shake his head helplessly, take a step forward, and go to the auction house in the center of the city.
(I'm almost depressed. In the previous chapter of the refining medicine, weren't there a few sentences: (white powder)? Actually, I started uploading the previous chapter at 20:15, and it was only 52 minutes. Why? Because of the banned words, white and pink, I added a * symbol, no, add a color, no, I made it for a long time and turned into white powder. This was enough, so I was so angry that this chapter, which was originally supposed to be posted at 10 o'clock, was also posted at the same time. Next chapter after 12 o'clock:
Chapter 35: Concubine Ya’s Heart Talking)
