Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 33 It’s terrible
In the days that followed, which slowly passed by...
The new healing medicine launched by the Xiao family appeared on the market quietly, almost like a storm. With a more favorable price than the other two, it quickly restored the market to its former popularity in just a few days, and even surpassed it.

On the other hand, the expressions of the leaders of the Garrett and Oba families grew increasingly grim as the number of healing medicines they sold each day decreased.

With Liu Xi's death, there is no one left to concoct medicine for them. If the stock in the warehouse is emptied, the outcome is predictable.

So, although Utan City appeared calm on the surface, those who paid attention could notice that the arrogance of the Jia Lie and Ao Ba families had weakened. Everyone was puzzled by the two families' inexplicable actions.

...

the other side,
at this time,

Xiao Zhan was overjoyed, not only because of the frequent good news in the market, but also because Xiao Yan's identity as a first-grade alchemist had been exposed.

"Good lad, when did you learn alchemy!" Xiao Zhan patted his son's shoulder, his smile stretching almost to his ears.

He had always known that Xiao Yan was a genius, but that genius referred more to his cultivation of Dou Qi. However, upon seeing this today, he was surprised to find that his son was also an alchemist. If it weren't for Xiao Yue's recommendation, he might still be in the dark.

The others in the hall were also too shocked to speak.

A fourteen-year-old genius alchemist?
His talent is in no way inferior to his sister's!

It took the elders a while to come to their senses, and they exclaimed:
"I never imagined that my Xiao family would produce an alchemist! It's truly a blessing from heaven for my Xiao family!!!"

Before this,

They were still lamenting that Xiao Yue couldn't become an alchemist because of her own abilities, but now, her sister's pharmacology talent is maxed out and she can formulate pills, and her brother's alchemy skills are maxed out and he can start refining pills. With the two siblings working together, it is only a matter of time before the Xiao family is revitalized!

Xiao Yan touched his nose, and faced with the burning gazes of his elders, he could only put on a bitter smile. These days, he had worked himself to the bone to complete the targets set by his older sister.

Fortunately, Xiao Yue's upgraded 2.0 version of the Golden Wound Medicine is only the lowest grade among first-grade healing medicines. It is not difficult to make, but the repetitive work is too tedious.

suddenly,

A spy walked into the hall, and his report made Xiao Zhan pause in surprise.

"You mean the supply of Rejuvenating Powder from Jia Lie and Ao Ba has run out?" Xiao Zhan was a little confused. What was going on? He hadn't even started yet, and these two companies were already struggling.
"Oh, is that so? What about their alchemist named Liu Xi?" The Grand Elder seemed to still be concerned about the other's life.

"Information inadvertently leaked from within the Jialie family's territory indicates that Liu Xi was assassinated by Blood Moon Tower's killers a few days ago," the informant said in a low voice after a slight hesitation.

The hall fell silent.
Everyone present looked at each other in dismay. Liu Xi was a key figure in this game, and his death would undoubtedly have a huge impact on the situation. However, he died like this? And without any warning.

"I didn't expect them to be so quick..."

The First Elder muttered something under his breath, his voice so soft that only Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan beside him could hear the faint sound.

Upon hearing this, the father and son's eyelids twitched slightly. They knew without a doubt that the other party had placed the order secretly.

"Blood Moon Tower..."

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, and the others couldn't help but murmur among themselves. They had many concerns and reservations about this organization that had only recently risen to prominence in Wutan City.

Calling them an assassin organization doesn't quite fit, since whether they accept a job depends entirely on their mood. Even the Grand Elder initially placed an order just to try it out. Their main business is collecting and selling intelligence and operating a black market.

It's vaguely showing signs of becoming the uncrowned ruler of the shadowy areas of Utan City. When this organization opened its independent black market before, the huge profits and gains attracted the covetous eyes of many people, but they were all driven back. Its strength goes without saying.

Moreover, not long ago, they carried out a major overhaul and cleanup in the underworld, causing quite a stir. They explicitly prohibited the sale of people and the trade of organs from entering the black market, which made the previously chaotic and murky corners much clearer. This made it difficult to understand the organization's motives and completely unfathomable.

"Blood Moon Tower, it must have been established by my older sister..." Xiao Yan muttered to himself.

He knew some of Xiao Yue's background, but even so, that older sister was still full of mystery in his eyes.

Thinking this way,

Xiao Yan couldn't help but turn his gaze to the corner of the hall by the window, where the silver-haired girl was still quietly holding a thick, ancient book. Her slender fingers occasionally turned the pages, and her quiet demeanor was extremely beautiful, attracting the secret glances of many peers nearby.

See here,

Xiao Yan was also somewhat dazed.
"Hi~"

But the thought of her tearing apart monsters with her bare hands sent a chill down the boy's spine. The childhood trauma of being terrified by a single glance resurfaced, and he instinctively hugged his shoulders, scratching the goosebumps on his skin, unable to bear watching any longer.
Sisters are terrifying!

...

"Well, everyone, no matter what, the Gallie and Obama families have been caught off guard this time. We should make the most of this opportunity!"

in the hall,
Xiao Zhan's eyes sharpened.
This time, Garrett and the Obama family are destined to suffer a major blow, so how could he easily let go of such an opportunity?

When the Xiao family first arrived, the various families clashed over how to divide the spoils, accumulating a lot of grudges. Now that they have the chance to destroy them, they certainly won't hold back.

In the days that followed,
The economic battle among the major families in Wutan City finally ended with the Xiao family's victory, while the other two families, as the losers, saw their power shrink rapidly and could never regain their former glory.

However, even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily. Even without the profits from healing medicine and the popularity of the market, the armed forces that the Jia Lie and Ao Ba families have cultivated over the years as local powers are still not to be underestimated in Wutan City. It may take a long time for the Xiao family to take them over.

Rao is so,

The Xiao family's influence in Wutan City has now clearly surpassed that of the Jialie and Oba families. Moreover, due to Xiao Yue's behind-the-scenes manipulation, even the Mittel Auction House is constantly extending cooperation opportunities to the Xiao family. All of these factors have made the Xiao family the nominal overlord, with their status subtly on par with the official city lord's mansion, which is awarded by the empire.

As for the so-called spirit-fighting teacher of Liu Xi, for some unknown reason, he seems indifferent to Liu Xi's death and has not shown up since.

"What a pity, I wanted to test the level of a Dou Ling expert in this world..."

Xiao Yue felt a little regretful about this.

She is now only one step away from the next realm, and needs a close battle to give herself a push and break free from her constraints.
