Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

The next morning, at the entrance of the Jia Lie family's market, dozens of burly men dressed in mercenary uniforms rudely knocked over the guards at the gate and rushed in with wild joy, raising the white jade bottles in their hands high. Their neat shouts instantly drowned out the noise in the market.

"The Xiao family also sells healing medicines! They even have second-grade bone-regenerating pills, but quantities are limited, so it's first come, first served."

The unified shouts silenced the market, and all eyes turned to the source of the shouts.

The burly mercenary who rushed in, noticing the gazes shifting towards him in the market, hurriedly stepped onto a large rock to the side, drew his broadsword with a "clang," and then gritted his teeth to draw a bloody gash on his arm. The deep red, viscous liquid seeped into the wound, and the gushing blood, under the watchful eyes of everyone, slowly thinned out. After a moment, the blood had already congealed into a thin layer of blood clots at the scar.

Then the burly man laughed loudly, "This is the latest Grade One Blood-Coagulating Powder refined by the Xiao Family Market. Not only is its medicinal power better, but its price is also more than half that of the Rejuvenating Powder! What are you waiting for? Is it fun to be extorted like an idiot? Hurry up and leave!"

Everyone witnessed this scene, and all eyes on the street immediately turned fervent. Such a rapid hemostatic effect was simply an essential item for completing missions!

The crowd in the market was slightly taken aback, then rushed out of the market and ran towards the market near the Xiao family.

A strange smile appeared on the mercenary's face as he thought to himself, "Heh heh! This mission is really easy. I got these ten bottles of blood-clotting powder so easily. It wasn't a waste of my hard work putting on this performance."

Meanwhile, in all the other towns and cities belonging to the Jia Lie family, this scene was repeating itself...

The appearance of the Blood Clotting Powder was like a sudden storm, quickly seizing more than 50% of the healing medicine market in Wutan City. Moreover, it allowed Xiao Family Market to regain its former popularity within just two days, and even surpassed it.

The day after the blood-clotting powder was released, the price of the Jia Lie family's Rejuvenation Powder gradually returned to its original level. However, the Jia Lie family's exorbitant profits in the previous period had aroused the resentment of most mercenaries.

Therefore, even though the Jialie family lowered the prices, the market was still unable to regain its former popularity.

That day, Xiao Yao sat in the conference hall, looking helplessly at Xiao Zhan, who was grinning from ear to ear. His gaze then shifted to the three elders, who also had wide smiles on their faces. Their silly, cheerful laughter never stopped in the hall. The main reason for this incident was that the sales of the blood-clotting powder were too aggressive.

"Hehe, the sales of the blood-clotting powder are absolutely insane. If Yao'er hadn't sent another batch, our warehouse would probably be empty by now." Xiao Zhan held a small white bottle like a precious treasure in his hands and said with a smile.

"Patriarch, three elders, Yafi from the Mittel family has come to pay a personal visit and is currently at the Xiao family's gate." A clansman hurried into the hall and respectfully announced.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan quickly said, "Quickly, go out and invite her in."

A graceful figure slowly stepped into the conference hall, and a sweet, whimper echoed throughout the hall: "Hehe, Clan Chief Xiao has been riding high lately. With the help of this Blood Clotting Powder, you've steadily surpassed the Jia Lie family's business."

"Ahem." Xiao Zhan coughed lightly, then stood up with a smile, saying politely, "Miss Ya Fei is too kind. Our Xiao family's annual profit is not even comparable to that of one of your Mittel Auction House's branches. What right do we have to be proud of ourselves?"

"Hehe, Clan Chief Xiao is quite the smooth talker. Recently, the popularity of Xiao Family Market has far surpassed that of the auction house. This is a fact that everyone has witnessed."

Ya Fei smiled and bowed to the three elders in the hall. Turning her gaze to Xiao Yao beside Xiao Yan, she gently covered her mouth and chuckled, "Young Master Xiao Yao has worked incredibly hard in this operation. I heard that the Grade Two Bone-Regenerating Pills in the market were refined by Young Master Xiao Yao, aren't they? Truly a young talent!"

Looking at the curvaceous woman in front of him, Xiao Yao chuckled softly, "Sister Yafei, you flatter me. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."

"I wonder what brings Miss Yafei to the Xiao family today?" Xiao Zhan asked with a smile.

Ya Fei smiled and nodded, then gracefully sat down in the chair opposite Xiao Yan. She pursed her red lips and said with a light laugh, "Clan Chief Xiao, the Mittel Auction House has refused to supply medicinal herbs to the Jia Lie family any longer."

Xiao Zhan stared at the smiling Ya Fei with disbelief. He didn't believe that the Mittel Auction House would help them attack the Jia Lie family without paying a price. He stroked his chin, and a thought suddenly struck him. He tentatively asked in a low voice, "Was it...was it that senior who refined the Foundation Establishment Elixir who did it?"

With a slight smile, Ya Fei nodded and said, "That alchemist has already paid his dues, so Clan Chief Xiao doesn't need to worry about us asking the Xiao family for anything. From now on, we're on the same side."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan's face finally lit up with wild joy. He threw his head back and laughed a few times, the sound of which shook the house slightly.

Slowly suppressing his laughter, Xiao Zhan suddenly realized that he seemed to have gotten a little carried away. He looked down and saw the three elders pouting helplessly.

With an awkward laugh, Xiao Zhan glared at Xiao Yan, who was covering his mouth and chuckling, and snapped angrily, "You little brat, what are you laughing at? Hurry up and serve Miss Ya Fei some tea. That's rude!"

Rolling his eyes in exasperation, Xiao Yan reached out and grabbed a cup of warm tea from the table beside him. He then scurried over to Ya Fei and handed it to her with both hands.

With a gentle smile, Ya Fei took the teacup from Xiao Yan's hand. Her pretty face suddenly changed slightly, and her beautiful eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan's fair hands, or rather... a black ring on his right hand.

Looking into Ya Fei's eyes, Xiao Yan's gaze sharpened. He subtly withdrew his hand, turned his back to his father and the others, narrowed his eyes, and stared calmly at the beautiful woman in front of him.

Under Xiao Yan's gaze, Ya Fei's heart tightened slightly. She lowered her head slightly, gently shaking the teacup in her hand to conceal her inner turmoil. Then she quickly lowered her head to sip the tea, her expression perfectly concealed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan had no choice but to obediently return to his seat, his furrowed brows seemingly reflecting on what had just happened.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yao shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "It seems that our identities are unlikely to be hidden from this meticulous woman."

......

After chatting with Xiao Zhan and the others for a while, Ya Fei prepared to take her leave. Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Yan, who had been silent all along, and suddenly stood up and took the initiative to follow Ya Fei to see her off from the family.

In the past two weeks, with the first and second-grade healing medicines provided by Xiao Yao, the Xiao family's market share has been enough to suppress the pill industry of the other two major families in Wutan City.

In Wutan City today, the Xiao family is riding the wave of healing medicine, and their status is rising rapidly, even showing signs of surpassing the other two major families.
