Fight to break the sky

After sitting quietly for nearly an hour, a pretty maid finally walked in from the door, holding a small silver plate in her hands. There was a light red ring in the small plate.

After taking the silver plate and dismissing the maid, Ya Fei personally handed it to Xiao Yan and said with a smile: "Old sir, the medicine cauldron and medicinal materials you need are all in the Najie."

Stretching out his hand to pick up Najie from the silver plate, he turned it around in his palm. Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and Yao Lao's voice came out at the right time: "Well, after the Qi Ju Powder is successfully refined, I will give it to you." Bring it here."

There was a hint of joy in her beautiful eyes, and Yafei nodded quickly.

"Okay, you don't need to send me away, I'll go out by myself."

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yan put the ring on his finger and walked out to the living room without looking back. He also kept the blue jade card on the table because he didn't want to owe too many favors. down.

Looking at the figure who disappeared behind the door, Ya Fei bit her red lips, took a step forward, took the blue jade card into her hand, pondered a little, and asked softly: "Uncle Gu Ni, refine the Qi Gathering Powder, it seems. The success rate isn’t too high, right?”

"Well, it is said that even the Alchemy Master Furukawa's success rate in refining the Qi Gathering Powder is only about 70%. A normal fourth-grade alchemist may only have a success rate of less than 50%." Gu Ni said solemnly.

"But this old gentleman succeeded in refining it in one go..." Yafei said with a slight frown.

"Who knows, maybe he's just lucky..." Gu Ni shook his head and didn't pay too much attention to this. After all, when an alchemist refines elixirs, a lot of luck is needed. If he's lucky, Maybe it won’t fail several times in a row.

"Could he be... more than a fourth-grade alchemist?" After a slight hesitation, Yafei said hesitantly.

"Haha, how is it possible? There are only a handful of fifth-grade alchemists in the Jiama Empire. At that level, even the powerful forces of the empire and the Yunlan Sect will treat them as honored guests. How could they come? We auction elixirs here." Gu Ni said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yafei also nodded slightly, sighed softly, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I am still not experienced enough. The previous hesitation may have made this mysterious alchemist have a lot of bad impressions of us. .”

"I can't blame you. Even I don't dare to give away such a large amount of money. It's already good that you can do this. As for the relationship, we can slowly build it up in the future. As long as It's good that he doesn't have a bad feeling towards us." Gu Ni comforted him.

Nodding with a wry smile, Yafei sat lazily on the chair, her curves exposed, blinked her narrow eyes, and whispered with some confusion: "What does he want to do with so many low-level medicinal materials?"

"Those medicinal materials have the effect of stopping bleeding and regenerating bones. I guess he is planning to refine the healing medicine." Gu Ni frowned after thinking for a while, and also said with some doubts: "With his identity, why would he refine it?" Where are these cheap healing medicines made?”

Hearing this, Yafei narrowed her beautiful eyes and tapped her slender jade fingers on the table. After a moment, she paused and said softly: "It seems that this old gentleman takes great care of the Xiao family..."

Frowning his brows, Gu Ni looked surprised: "You mean, he wants to refine healing medicine for the Xiao family?"

"Recently, I heard that the Jialie family invited a first-grade alchemist. The cheap "Rejuvenation Powder" has already taken away the popularity of most of the streets in the city. If the Xiao family doesn't take measures, I'm afraid they will end up in the embarrassment of being left alone. The situation is over." Yafei's eyes flickered and she smiled faintly: "Last time, the old gentleman said that if there was a chance, he would cooperate with the Xiao family, and he purchased so many healing medicinal materials at this time. The purpose seems self-evident.”

"Hey, it seems that the Xiao family really has a big problem this time. The Jialie family is in trouble." Listening to Ya Fei's analysis, Gu Ni grinned, with a bit of envy on his face. He could get a The help of a fourth-grade alchemist is not a treatment that other families can get.

Nodding slightly, Yafei chuckled and said, "Let's have more contact with the Xiao family recently. It's gratifying to add icing on the cake, but providing help when it's time is easier to strengthen the relationship between the two parties."

Gu Ni nodded in agreement. The Xiao family, with the support of a fourth-grade alchemist, was worthy of their attention.

…

After leaving the auction house, Xiao Yan walked around cautiously for a long time as he always did before turning into a remote alley and changing his clothes.

Throwing away the light red "Na Ring" in his hand, Xiao Yan was a little happy. This kind of Na Ring is made of a rare material called "Na Stone". There is a special small space in it, which can store the lifeless breath. It is extremely convenient to buy anything. However, due to the scarcity of "Na Stone", the "Na Ring" is also precious. For example, the lowest "Na Ring" in Xiao Yan's hand has only three or four cubic meters of space inside. It looks like rice, but its price is close to 100,000 gold coins. In the Xiao family, Xiao Yan has only seen his father and the elder have one of these rings.

Xiao Yan played with the ring for a while, hesitated, but did not put it on his hand again, but carefully put it in his arms. This kind of ring was expensive. If his father and the others saw it, it would be difficult for him to explain where to go. Come.

Kicking the black cloak under his feet into the ditch, Xiao Yan carefully walked out of the remote alley, and then ran all the way back to his family.

As he walked through the family along the path and passed the meeting hall, his father's furious curses were heard inside. His eyelids twitched, Xiao Yan leaned over and quietly looked in through the crack in the door.

"Damn, that old bastard Jialebi is so arrogant, he dares to steal business so blatantly!" In the hall, Xiao Zhan was smashing the table with a livid face, and the tea in the tea cup was splashed all over the table.

"Nowadays, the number of people in the Xiao family's markets has been greatly reduced. The remaining merchants in the markets are also panicking. Many people have secretly gone to the Jialie family's market. If this continues, In another half month, I'm afraid...our market will go bankrupt." The second elder sitting below said with a gloomy face and gritted teeth.

"How about... I take some elite members of the family to secretly kill the first-grade alchemist?" The third elder said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Now there are at least two great fighting masters guarding the alchemist. How can it be so easy?" Xiao Zhan waved his hand and said helplessly.

"But if this continues, our losses will be too great. The profits from Wutanzhong's market account for the majority of our family's income." The third elder said unwillingly.

The corner of Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched. At this time, he couldn't think of any other way.

"Didn't the mysterious alchemist who was at the auction that day say that he had a chance to cooperate with us? Judging from Gu Ni's respectful attitude towards him, he must be of a high level. If he had his help, the Jialie family would It’s definitely not going to be a big wave.” The great elder, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said softly.

"Hey, who knows if it's just casual talk. What can a person of that level get from cooperating with us? Would he care about the profit?" Xiao Zhan shook his head with a wry smile and sat down. Sitting on the chair, he sighed.

The three elders were also silent. Indeed, it is indeed difficult for the Xiao family to reach that level of people.

"Damn it, just stay up for a few more days. If the Gallie family doesn't know how to restrain itself, then don't blame us for fighting to the death!" Xiao Zhan licked his lips, holding the back of the chair tightly with his palms, with a fierce light in his eyes. plunder.

Outside the door, when Xiao Yan heard this, he shrugged slightly, touched the Najie in his arms with his palm, and slowly stepped away with a cold look on the corner of his mouth.
