Fighting: Xiao Yan at full level, leading the whole match

Chapter 30: Galbi's Evil Plan
The next morning, the snow stopped, but the once peaceful Wutan City was still covered with a thick layer of white snow. Looking around, the whole place was covered in silver, and the ground was a vast expanse of white.

The snow covered the city of Wutan, which was not magnificent to begin with, and added a touch of quiet beauty.

But soon, this silence was broken by a piece of news.

"The Xiao family's market has elixirs for sale!"

"It's a genuine first-grade elixir. I heard there's a discount during the Chinese New Year!"

As the New Year is approaching, the market is already crowded with people, and every household is preparing New Year's goods, getting ready for a good year.

However, when someone entered the Xiao family's market, they unexpectedly discovered that there was a conspicuous large sign posted at the entrance of each of the Xiao family's markets.

Three new first-grade elixirs.

Power pill - three hundred gold coins per pill.

Blood coagulation powder - two hundred gold coins per bottle.

Rejuvenating powder - one hundred and sixty gold coins per bottle.

New Year special offer, 20% off purchase!
Looking at the words on the sign, many people were slightly stunned, and then quickly became agitated.

Pills are very scarce in a small place like Wutan City. Many people want to get pills, and the only way is to go through the auction at the Miter Auction House.

However, not only are the prices at the Miter Auction House usually very high, but they are also sold in batches. Ordinary mercenaries simply do not have the financial resources to purchase a batch of pills, and even if they did, they would simply be reluctant to do so.

Only the big families are willing to buy it.

After seeing the information on the sign, some mercenaries who relied on life-and-death adventures suddenly became excited.

For these guys who live on the edge of a knife, a bottle of first-grade elixir often means an extra life.

Especially since the prices of these elixirs from the Xiao family were originally quite fair, coupled with the terrible temptation of 20% off, many mercenaries who often went on adventures bought one or two of the elixirs without hesitation.

In addition, the Xiao family had already arranged people to stir up trouble secretly, and in just one morning, the news that the Xiao family's market was selling elixirs had spread throughout Wutan City.

For a moment, the crowds that had originally flocked to other markets rushed towards the Xiao family's markets like a swarm of bees.

Although most civilians may not be mercenaries, they have been huddled in Wutan City almost all their lives, and may not have seen elixirs many times in their lives.

Therefore, driven by curiosity, the huge crowd melted the snow in Xiaojia Market in an instant, making the entire Xiaojia Market extremely popular.

In contrast, many other markets were unusually deserted on New Year's Day. After a whole morning, even the snow on the ground had not been melted.

Naturally, several major families in Wutan City quickly noticed this change, especially the Gale family and the Oba family, who felt even more uneasy after learning the news.

In Wutan City, the three major families originally had a check and balance relationship with each other, but how come the Xiao family suddenly had so many extra pills?
You know, the Xiao family suddenly had such a treasure, and it was not just as simple as making huge profits from selling pills.

The most important thing is that the charm of elixirs even attracted many people who didn’t need them. When they strolled around the Xiao family’s market, they naturally couldn’t help but consume them.

In contrast, the market towns of other families saw a sharp drop in traffic, leading to a business slump.

"Asshole! Where on earth did the Xiao family hire this alchemist from?"

In a luxurious restaurant in Wutan City, the patriarch of the Gale family, Galebi, and the patriarch of the Oba family, Obapa, sat facing each other.

Today was supposed to be the Chinese New Year, and given their status, they should have been sitting in the family and instructing the clan members to prepare for the annual family meeting.

However, the changes in the market today made their eyelids jump and a sense of uneasiness arose in their hearts.

New Year's Day is usually the time when family markets make a fortune, but today most of the business was taken away by the Xiao family.

In just this one day, the family might have lost tens of thousands of gold coins. If it were just that, it would be fine, but if it were like this every day in the future, wouldn't the Xiao family be the only dominant family?

"Haha, it would be better if this alchemist was hired by the Xiao family. In this way, we still have a chance to poach him."

Obapa, who was sitting opposite Galebi, gave a wry smile, causing Galebi's pupils to shrink slightly.

"You mean, someone from the Xiao family became an alchemist!"

"It's not just that." Obapa looked at Galebi, with a hint of fear in his eyes which were squeezed by the fat on his face to form two thin slits.

"Guess who this alchemist from the Xiao family is?"

"who is it?"

Seeing Obapa's expression, Galiebi felt even more uneasy. It seemed that no one among the older generation of the Xiao family had the talent to be an alchemist.

Among the younger generation, it seems that no one has ever heard of such a talent, but I heard that Xiao Zhan's two sons came back some time ago. Could it be that...
"It's Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan's youngest son, Xiao Yan!"

Looking at Galebi's appearance, Obapa could not help but sigh softly, and Galebi's body suddenly became stiff as if struck by lightning.

"Xiao, Xiao Yan?"

Galbi felt dizzy and swallowed lightly, his lips trembling as he let out a sound of disbelief.

"How is that possible? He is only twelve years old. Even if he is fully grown, he is not even thirteen!
I know that he has a high talent for practicing Dou Qi, but no matter how talented he is, it is impossible for him to become an alchemist at this age."

When he said this, his eyes couldn't help but become a little dazed.

A twelve-year-old alchemist, in the Gama Empire, not to mention having never heard of it, even dared not to think about it.

"Haha, when I heard the news this morning, I was in the same state as you are now, but after I spent a lot of money to verify it with the people of the Xiao family, I found out that the news was actually true."

Seeing Galebi's look, Obapa's bitter smile became even more intense.

They had never heard of such talent before. They couldn't imagine how amazing this kid would be when he grew up.

"With the growth rate of Xiao Yan, I'm afraid that within ten years, he will have the strength to easily wipe out our two families.

Therefore, there are only two options before us. Either show goodwill as soon as possible and submit to the Xiao family in advance, or take action as soon as possible and unite to destroy the Xiao family.

However, I feel that the second option is a long shot.”

After pondering for a moment, Obapa finally said what was in his mind.

"You want me to be Xiao Zhan's dog?"

Galebi suddenly turned his head and stared at Obapa with sharp eyes, showing an extremely strong sense of unwillingness.

He has been fighting with Xiao for more than ten years, but now he has to surrender to this guy. It is more painful than killing him.

"Haha, if you think you can beat that kid in the future, you can choose to fight hard."

Seeing this, Obapa couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

"Haha, the reason why we are so wary of the Xiao family now is because of that evildoer. As long as that guy dies, all the problems will be solved."

There was a fierce light in Galebi's eyes, filled with strong murderous intent.

"What the hell, don't you think that Xiao Yan could become an alchemist at such a young age, is it really just because of his lack of talent?
Someone from the Xiao family told me that Xiao Yan’s teacher might be a fourth-grade alchemist! "

Seeing Galebi's appearance, Obapa couldn't help but curse.

"Fourth-rank alchemist!"

Galbi's face turned pale immediately. A fourth-grade alchemist had the power to easily destroy their family.

But he was naturally unwilling to surrender to Xiao Zhan so easily.

"and many more!"

At this moment of panic, Galebi suddenly had an idea in his mind. Looking at Obapa beside him, a sinister plan slowly emerged.

"My son once went to that place of willows to hang out some time ago. Because he was generous, he accidentally got to know a man named Liu Xi."
