Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Chapter 28: Utan City Undergoes a Tremendous Change; Medicinal Herbs Gathered, Alchemy Begins

The Xiao family.

While Xiao Yi was still fast asleep on the bed, Xiao Yan suddenly pushed open the door.

They quickly shook Xiao Yi awake from the bed.

"Brother Yi, something big has happened in Wutan City, the situation has changed!"

Xiao Yi forced himself to stay awake, opened his eyes, and looked at Xiao Yan, saying softly, "What's wrong? Why are you so agitated?"

Xiao Yan, however, looked at Xiao Yi with a smile and said, "The Jia Lie family and the Ao Ba family, overnight, all their experts above the Dou Zhe level disappeared, as if they had vanished into thin air!"

"Now, only the Xiao family remains in Wutan City!"

"Brother Yi, you did this, didn't you?"

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly as he looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi simply waved his hand: "How could a three-star Dou Zhe like me possess such strength? This is the work of our ancestor!"

Upon hearing this, a look of shock flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes.

It's important to know that the Jia Lie family and the Ao Ba family are capable of rivaling the Xiao family.

There are so many powerful individuals among them, at the level of Fighter or above.

But that ancestor Xiao Xuan was able to kill them all in one night!

At this moment, Xiao Yan dared not imagine just how strong his ancestor truly was.

It's not really Xiao Yan's fault. After all, the most powerful person Xiao Yan had ever seen in Wutan City was Xiao Zhan, a five-star Great Dou Master.

Therefore, Xiao Yan's knowledge and experience are inevitably somewhat limited at present.

Xiao Yi glanced at Xiao Yan and said softly, "Don't even think about it. In short, our ancestor's strength far exceeds our imagination!"

"But there will come a day when the two of us will reach the level of our ancestor, or even surpass him!"

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this.

Xiao Yi quickly stood up, and while tidying up, he turned to Xiao Yan and said, "By the way, come with me to the Mittel Auction House again today!"

"Since the Galley family no longer exists, surely we should have the medicinal herbs—"

Inside the Mittel auction house.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan, once again dressed in black robes, arrived at the prestigious VIP room.

Upon hearing of their arrival, Ya Fei immediately headed towards the VIP area.

"I was unaware of your arrival, gentlemen. I apologize for not greeting you properly and hope you will forgive me!"

Ya Fei's face was full of charming smiles, and the first thing she did upon entering the room was to bow and apologize.

He then skillfully poured tea for Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi remained silent, only peering at Ya Fei through his black veil.

After all, any man would be unable to resist taking a second look at a beauty like Ya Fei.

"It's alright, it was indeed a bit sudden today—"

Xiao Yan waved his hand, and Yao Lao's aged voice slowly followed.

"I've come today, still for those medicinal herbs—"

"I know time is a bit tight, but the medicinal herbs are indeed very important, so I wonder if Miss Yafei could think of a solution—"

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei's eyes flickered slightly, and then the corners of her mouth immediately turned up slightly: "Old sir, your timing is perfect today—"

"Chief Jialie just said he doesn't want the medicinal herbs he ordered, and he won't refund the deposit—"

"And coincidentally, that batch of medicinal herbs just happens to contain the one you need!"

As soon as Consort Ya finished speaking, she turned to the servants behind her and said, "Go quickly and fetch the medicinal herbs listed on this note, two of each!"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes.

Finally, all the medicinal herbs are ready!

If Elder Yao makes a move again, then I will finally be able to taste what this fourth-grade pill is like!

A moment later.

Just then, the servant entered the room carrying several brocade boxes.

They then placed them all in front of Xiao Yan and the other person with utmost respect.

"Sir, these are the materials you need—"

"Two portions each of purple ginseng, meridian-clearing vine, a century-old condensed flower, and a second-tier beast core—"

"Please keep this safe—"

With a charming smile, Ya Fei arranged the materials neatly beside Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan nodded, then waved his hand, putting all the medicinal herbs into his storage ring.

Then the old apothecary's voice sounded softly: "Thank you, Miss Ya Fei. You can make a list of the value of these medicinal herbs, and I will settle the payment later—"

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei quickly waved her hand and said, "You're too kind, sir."

"These medicinal herbs are considered as previously agreed upon by the Mittel Auction House, sir; no need for a list—"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi did not refuse politely, after all, who would refuse a free gift?

The two immediately stood up and bowed slightly to Consort Ya: "Then I will remember this kindness—"

After Yao Lao finished speaking, Xiao Yi and his companion got up and left the Mittel Auction House.

After the two left.

The butler behind Ya Fei finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss Ya Fei, those medicinal herbs aren't cheap. Are you really just going to give them away like this?"

Ya Fei waved her hand and looked at Xiao Yi and the other person's departing figures, saying, "There's no need to say anything more—Master Gu Ni said that a pharmacist's favors are priceless—"

"Besides, you really didn't realize these two are quite extraordinary—"

The butler shook his head upon hearing this.

Ya Fei sighed helplessly before continuing, "Just yesterday we were saying that Chief Jia Lie had ordered all the medicinal herbs, and overnight, the Jia Lie family and the Ao Ba family have vanished from Wutan City as if they'd evaporated into thin air!"

"And these two have come to us today looking for medicinal herbs. It's a simple and obvious matter; don't you understand?"

"More importantly, these medicinal herbs are far from ordinary. The level of this mysterious alchemist who needs such herbs is likely far beyond our imagination—"

"A high-level alchemist who wiped out the two major families of Utan City overnight—such a terrifying and mysterious person, my Mittel Auction House will still try to curry favor with him—"

"Furthermore, give the order that from this moment on, no one from the Xiao family should be offended!"

Ya Fei looked in the direction Xiao Yi and the other person had left with her alluring eyes and said in a deep voice.

The back mountain of the Xiao family.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan were looking at the medicinal herbs they had just obtained.

My eyes can't leave them for a moment.

The figures of Yao Lao and Xiao Xuan appeared from the storage ring at the same time.

The old herbalist glanced at the herbs and said in a deep voice, "Although the quality of these herbs is only average, they are barely enough—"

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan, who seemed completely naive and unsophisticated, and shook his head helplessly.

No words were spoken.

"Master Yao, may we begin refining the medicine?"

Xiao Yi was somewhat impatient and looked at Yao Lao, asking softly.

After all, Xiao Yi's cultivation has been stagnant for some time due to problems with his meridians.

They were counting on this Grade 4 Meridian Opening Spirit Pill to improve their physical condition.

The old apothecary nodded gently: "Now that the medicinal herbs have been gathered, we can naturally begin—"

Immediately, the old apothecary glanced at Xiao Xuan, then looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Since there are two portions of these medicinal herbs, you and I will refine them together—"

"I'll give it a try too—"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi's eyes widened: "Me? Refine fourth-grade pills?"
