Moreover, Xiao Xuanyuan slightly tightened his right hand, which was gripping Galeo's fist, causing a series of cracking sounds as the bones were squeezed. Galeo then let out a bloodcurdling scream, a heart-wrenching sound that echoed throughout the streets.
At this moment, some of the onlookers around the stall recognized Xiao Xuanyuan and Xiao Mei as members of the Xiao family. As for the troublemaker, Jia Lie'ao, the number one playboy in Wutan City, everyone was naturally familiar with him.
The onlookers pointed and whispered among themselves, discussing the incident. As the crowd talked, the identities of the three became known to more people.
"Isn't this the Xiao family's number one cultivation failure? How could the dignified eldest young master of the Jia Lie family, Jia Lie'ao, be defeated by him? And he even looks like he's in a lot of pain? This can't be!"
The other person beside him was a martial artist. After sensing for a moment, he exclaimed in surprise, "Who knows? Since Xiao Xuanyuan of the Xiao family was crippled five or six years ago, there has been little news of him being able to continue cultivating. But now, no matter how you look at it, the battle qi energy on his body is so strong."
The whispers of the onlookers reached Xiao Xuanyuan's ears, but he was inwardly cursing. This was the soul power of the "Medicine Elder," and he couldn't use it. He was just like them, only able to watch helplessly as his "Medicine Elder" showed off.
"Young Master Xuanyuan, what should we do with this kid?" The old man's voice echoed in Xiao Xuanyuan's mind.
"Cripple him, or countless beautiful women will have fallen victim to his cruelty," Xiao Xuanyuan thought viciously. He was always ruthless and merciless towards his enemies.
Upon hearing this, the old medicine doctor gave a wry smile: "Young Xuanyuan, isn't your method a bit underhanded?"
Xiao Xuanyuan coldly said, "Elder Yao, I mean you should first leave a hidden power lurking in Jialie's body, and then let this power slowly backfire and completely cripple this kid's cultivation. Also, his manhood cannot be left; cripple it, lest this guy rely on his Douzhe strength and the Jialie family behind him to harm beautiful women everywhere."
The old doctor gave another wry smile: "You young man, to have this kind of temperament at such a young age is quite beneficial for your future cultivation path, which is rare. But isn't it a bit too ruthless?"
"Elder Yao, just do as I say. Since the feud has already been formed, we might as well strike now to avoid future troubles," Xiao Xuanyuan said coldly, curling his lip.
The old doctor sighed inwardly, wondering whether this rare temperament was a blessing or a curse for this young Xuanyuan. Nevertheless, he followed Xiao Xuanyuan's advice.
"What's going on? Who's causing trouble in Xiao Family Market? Daring to cause trouble in the eastern market of Xiao Family, do they have a death wish?"
At this moment, the law enforcement and guard teams from the eastern market of the Xiao family finally arrived, seemingly only now aware of the commotion that had just occurred.
Xiao Tieshan pushed through the crowd and led a team of law enforcement guards straight toward Xiao Xuanyuan.
When he saw Xiao Xuanyuan tightly gripping Galeo's fist, he was immediately astonished. He recognized Xiao Xuanyuan. The Xiao family only had three elders, and Xiao Xuanyuan was the eldest grandson of Xiao Yuntian, the third elder of the Xiao family. How could he not recognize him? Even disregarding that identity, Xiao Xuanyuan had held the title of the Xiao family's number one cultivation waste for five or six years. Everyone in the Xiao family knew about him, so how could Xiao Tieshan not know?
So when Xiao Tieshan saw Xiao Xuanyuan, the first thing he did was rush over to ask if Xiao Xuanyuan was alright.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes dimmed. In recent years, with the passing of the older generation of powerful figures in the Xiao family and the lack of a rising younger generation, the family's only outstanding genius, Xiao Yan, had faded like a brilliant shooting star, shining briefly before falling. The Xiao family was now declining with each generation. With the decline of the Xiao family, they now had to be extremely cautious and discreet, keeping a low profile as much as possible. For example, they avoided offending the Jialie family, one of the three major families in Wutan City, because the Jialie family's overall strength was far superior to that of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family could not afford to waste time with them.
Xiao Xuanyuan had anticipated this awkward situation. The Xiao family's law enforcement and guard teams didn't want to deal with Jia Lie'ao's affairs; as long as Jia Lie'ao didn't cause too much trouble in the eastern market area of the Xiao family, the guards would simply turn a blind eye. However, Xiao Tieshan and his group hadn't anticipated that Jia Lie'ao's troublemaking would involve a member of the Xiao family. Now, they had no choice but to intervene.
Seeing Xiao Tieshan and the other law enforcement guards arrive, Xiao Xuanyuan released Galeo's fist, allowing Galeo to finally catch his breath. Just moments before, when Xiao Xuanyuan had his fist gripped, his bones felt like they were about to shatter; the pain was excruciating. His face went from white to red, then to blue, then to black, covered in cold sweat, and he screamed repeatedly. Now that the Xiao family's law enforcement guards had finally arrived, he was spared.
As the old man released Galeo's fist, he secretly channeled a hidden, latent power into Galeo's body. Soon, this power would erupt, completely destroying Galeo's years of cultivation in battle qi. And his manhood would be useless once he returned; the old man had already secretly crippled it.
After releasing Galeo's fist, Xiao Xuanyuan kicked Galeo hard in the abdomen. Galeo screamed and flew far away.
The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo
Chapter 000 Extortion
After Xiao Xuanyuan, also known as Yao Lao, withdrew his soul power, Xiao Xuanyuan used all the power of his second-stage Dou Qi to kick Jia Lie'ao hard in the abdomen.
thump!
At this moment, under the powerful onslaught of the old man, Galeo was on the verge of collapse and exhaustion. Therefore, he was unable to resist the full force of Xiao Xuanyuan's second-stage Dou Qi. He fell heavily to the ground like a dead dog, letting out two miserable cries before failing to get up again.
Just moments before, under Xiao Xuanyuan's oppressive aura and hearing Jia Lie'ao's screams as Xiao Xuanyuan gripped his fist tightly, the two attendants beside Jia Lie'ao dared not approach, their stances tense and trembling. But now, with Jia Lie'ao sprawled on the ground, they quickly abandoned their guard and rushed to his side to check on his injuries. They were elite guards of the Jia Lie family, ordered by the family head, Jia Liebi, to protect their young master Jia Lie'ao. If anything happened to Jia Lie'ao here, they would have no way of explaining themselves to Jia Liebi when they returned to the Jia Lie family.
After examining him, Galeo's two attendants breathed a sigh of relief. Apart from some minor injuries, Galeo was otherwise unharmed.
Since the young master is alright, there's no point in staying in the eastern market area of the Xiao family. This is Xiao family territory. Even though the Xiao family is gradually declining, the Jia Lie family can't take them down without suffering significant losses. If they were to take down the Xiao family but suffer a major blow to their own strength and lose control of the resources under their control, it would be a laughingstock. After all, Wutan City isn't just home to the Jia Lie and Xiao families; the powerful Aoba family is also watching from the sidelines, waiting to reap the benefits. It's better to wait until we return and report to the Jia Lie family head before making any further plans.
As Galeo's two servants thought this, they helped Galeo up from the ground, whose right hand was still trembling. His complexion looked much better now, not as pale as before, but judging from his expression, he was clearly shocked and frightened, and had been badly abused.
Helped to his feet by two attendants, Galeo's lips trembled slightly as he repeatedly turned his head, gesturing for them to take him away. Just moments before, the instant Xiao Xuanyuan made his move, he had sensed a powerful, surging force emanating from Xiao Xuanyuan. Although this force was fleeting, it felt even stronger than that of his father, Galeo. Galeo felt as if he were about to die. Indeed, Xiao Xuanyuan had defeated him in a single move; killing him would have been effortless. At this moment, Galeo was utterly terrified by Xiao Xuanyuan's imposing presence.
When Xiao Tieshan arrived and saw that it was Galeo causing trouble, his thick eyebrows furrowed. "It's that guy again! He's really asking for it." However, he was surprised by Xiao Xuanyuan's strength. Xiao Xuanyuan had always been touted as the family's number one cultivation failure, and just a few days ago, news came that he had defeated Xiao Yan and was no longer the family's bottom-ranked failure. How could he now be able to beat up Galeo, a Dou Zhe (Battle Master) level cultivator? Xiao Tieshan was completely baffled. Furthermore, he hesitated whether to go and arrest Galeo. After all, Galeo had already been beaten; letting him go was fine, and the Xiao family wouldn't dare do anything to him. After all, the Xiao family patriarch and three elders had already given instructions to turn a blind eye as long as the trouble didn't escalate.
Just as Xiao Tieshan was hesitating, Galeo's two attendants helped him up and tried to leave.
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes. To come and go as one pleased was utterly disrespectful to the Xiao family. Moreover, they had brazenly caused trouble in the eastern market of the Xiao family, harassing members of the Xiao clan. Thinking this, Xiao Xuanyuan pulled away from Xiao Mei's affectionate embrace of his left arm, took two large steps forward, and blocked the path of Jia Lie'ao and his companions.
"You can leave if you want; our Xiao family will give your Jialie family that much face."
Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan blocking his way, a venomous glint flashed in Jia Lie'ao's eyes. He had truly lost today. He hadn't expected that this supposedly useless cultivator of the Xiao family was actually hiding his true abilities so deeply, a ruthless character with great potential. He was going back to tell his father now, so his father could prepare. If he didn't kill Xiao Xuanyuan before he grew stronger, he would become a huge hidden danger for the Jia Lie family in the future.
As for the two servants beside Galeo, they showed a somewhat concealed look of joy on their faces. After all, they didn't want to suffer a loss and be knocked down here on Xiao's territory.
Xiao Xuanyuan observed the expressions on the faces of Galeo and his three attendants, but before Galeo and his companions could even show their glee, Xiao Xuanyuan spoke again: "Coming to cause trouble in our Xiao Family Market, how can you expect to leave without paying a price? Quickly, hand over all your valuables."
Xiao Xuanyuan turned his head and thought for a moment. He couldn't extort too much, or he would definitely anger the Jia Lie family. He decided to return some of the more valuable items to Jia Lie and the other two.
Upon hearing Xiao Xuanyuan's words, Galeo's trembling, pale face turned ashen. Wasn't this blatant extortion?
Xiao Tieshan's team of market enforcement guards found this amusing, yet also quite enlightened. The young master of the Jia Lie family was bullying them right at their doorstep; if they weren't taught a lesson, they wouldn't know the power of the Xiao family.
Only Xiao Tieshan hesitated again. The clan leader, Xiao Zhan, had given instructions that they should avoid offending the Jialie family as much as possible. The Xiao family was facing increasing difficulties, with various sources of funding decreasing and the family's huge expenses becoming increasingly difficult to manage. If they offended the Jialie family now, and the Jialie family imposed a blockade on the Xiao family, the Xiao family would probably have an even harder time!
Thinking of this, Xiao Tieshan stepped forward and said, "Young Master Xuanyuan, what Jia Lie'ao did wasn't too excessive. Even if we don't care about the monk, we should at least consider the Buddha. Look at the Jia Lie family." Xiao Tieshan's meaning was very clear: we cannot offend the Jia Lie family.
Hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan seemed thoughtful, but he already had a plan in mind and naturally couldn't let Jia Lie'ao go so easily. If he continued to indulge and let things go, the Jia Lie family would eventually become too powerful. If he didn't establish his authority now, how could the Xiao family maintain its foothold in Wutan City? The current desolation of the Xiao family's last two markets was probably a result of turning a blind eye to the Jia Lie family. Merchants bought and sold goods in his markets, paying rent and protection fees, but the Xiao family couldn't even protect their safety. How could merchants dare to do business in the Xiao family's markets? This was probably the consequence of the Xiao family's markets declining in recent years.
Despite repeated concessions, the Jia Lie family has become increasingly unscrupulous.
“No, Galeo is so arrogant, we can’t just let this go. He must compensate the injured stall owner for his losses, and he also has to compensate me for my losses.” Xiao Xuanyuan refused resolutely.
Initially, after hearing Xiao Tieshan's words, Galeo and his companions breathed a sigh of relief. However, Xiao Xuanyuan's next words immediately tensed them up again. The situation was beyond their control; their attempt to steal a chicken had backfired, and the predicament was no longer manageable. The thought of having to compensate others with tens of thousands of gold coins and numerous valuable items in his storage ring filled Galeo with a deep sense of unease—his entire fortune.
The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo
Chapter 01 Soothing People's Hearts
"What? You don't want to give it to me?"
Seeing the pained look on Galeo's face, Xiao Xuanyuan raised an eyebrow and took two steps forward.
"This..." Xiao Tieshan wanted to step forward and persuade them again. The Jialie family was too powerful. They were truly number one in Wutan City. Even if the Oba family and the Xiao family joined forces, they might not be able to defeat the Jialie family. The Xiao family was really not someone to mess with.
"Shut up, just keep an eye on Galeo and make sure he doesn't escape. Leave the rest to me." Xiao Xuanyuan glared at Xiao Tieshan, stopping his attempts to persuade him.
Xiao Xuanyuan's attitude was exceptionally firm, refusing any further persuasion from Xiao Tieshan. Xiao Tieshan glanced at Jialie'ao, then at Xiao Xuanyuan, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and resolutely stood beside Xiao Xuanyuan. Xiao Xuanyuan was the eldest grandson of the Third Elder, and Jialie'ao was the eldest son of the Jialie family, the most powerful family in Wutan City. Even if something happened, the Third Elder would surely protect them. Besides, the Jialie family had been far too arrogant in recent years, bullying the Xiao family right to their doorstep. As the law enforcement and guard of the Xiao family's market, Xiao Tieshan had long harbored a bellyful of resentment. Now, seeing Xiao Xuanyuan step forward, he was ready to risk everything and completely side with Xiao Xuanyuan. As for the orders from Clan Chief Xiao Zhan, to hell with them.
After thinking it through, Xiao Tieshan waved his hand and said, "The Jia Lie family has gone too far as to bully our Xiao family. We can't let them go so easily. Brothers, stop them!"
Seeing Xiao Tieshan's attitude, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded appreciatively at him, then turned to Jia Lie'ao and said, "What are you still standing there for? Do you want me to beat you up again?" Xiao Xuanyuan looked at Jia Lie'ao coldly.
Seeing the law enforcement guards of Xiao Family Market surrounding him in a tight circle, Galeo's face grew even uglier. He gritted his teeth, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, and his right hand trembled as he slowly removed the storage ring from the middle finger of his left hand. He gripped the storage ring tightly in his right hand, the veins bulging, revealing his extreme imbalance and rage.
"Why are you holding on so tightly? Give it to me." Xiao Xuanyuan's fighting spirit continued to circulate, and his domineering aura intensified.
Suddenly, Galeo turned his head away, and the storage ring he was tightly gripping in his right hand shot towards Xiao Xuanyuan.
With quick reflexes, Xiao Xuanyuan caught the storage ring that had been thrown at him. He had already removed the restrictions from the ring thrown by Galeo, and with a thought, he immediately entered it.
The storage ring was about five or six square meters in size, and besides gold coins, it also contained various other items.
Even though Xiao Xuanyuan was mentally prepared, he was still somewhat stunned when he saw the glittering piles of gold coins in his storage ring. This was the first time in his life he had ever seen so much money. Xiao Xuanyuan estimated that there were at least nearly 100,000 gold coins. The Jia Lie family was truly rolling in money; even their young master, Jia Lie'ao, carried tens of thousands of gold coins with him.
And what's this? A wood-type magical beast core?
With a thought, an irregularly shaped, crystalline piece, about half an inch in size (like a thumb), appeared in Xiao Xuanyuan's hand. Xiao Xuanyuan carefully sensed it; although small, the crystal was filled with an extremely rich concentration of wood-elemental spiritual energy. At that moment, a voice appeared in Xiao Xuanyuan's mind: "That's right, this is a wood-elemental magic core from a Azure Wind Beast, and a very top-tier one at that."
After hearing Elder Yao's words, Xiao Xuanyuan accepted the magic core of the first-level wood-type Azure Wind Beast with satisfaction.
Xiao Xuanyuan searched through Galeo's storage ring, eventually taking out all the gold coins and dozens of other medicinal herbs. These were the herbs that the old medicine master's will had deemed useful to Xiao Xuanyuan after entering Galeo's storage ring.
After rummaging through the storage ring and finding these items, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded in satisfaction. He then wrapped them in a large cloth.
Meanwhile, Galeo, who was watching from the side, had veins bulging on his forehead and a ferocious expression on his face as he looked at Xiao Xuanyuan, who was smugly counting the items.
Finally, Xiao Xuanyuan asked Xiao Tieshan to help the small vendor over and handed him more than fifty gold coins. The vendor, his right hand covering his swollen face, was very excited when he saw Xiao Xuanyuan solemnly handing him the more than fifty gold coins, but he dared not accept: "Young Master Xiao, I only got slapped, it's nothing, it's nothing."
The peddler acted like a servant, bowing and scraping, with a very respectful expression.
Xiao Xuanyuan understood his feelings. These gold coins were all taken from Jialie's storage ring. He was afraid of offending the Jialie family.
"Don't worry, as long as our Xiao family has a foothold in Wutan City, the Jialie family won't cause you any trouble," Xiao Xuanyuan said confidently.
"But," the peddler hesitated. Xiao Xuanyuan shoved the money bag into his hand: "Galieao is unreasonable. He beat people without explanation. This is what he should compensate you for."
"What do you all think? Isn't this right?" Xiao Xuanyuan changed the subject and turned to the crowd of onlookers.
"That makes sense, that makes sense."
When they saw someone stepping forward to deal with the Jia Lie family, everyone cheered and nodded in agreement. Some even said that Xiao Xuanyuan had handled the situation well.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Xiao Xuanyuan smiled. People's hearts had finally returned. If people's hearts were back, would Xiao Family Market still have to worry about not having customers? At that time, even more merchants would probably come from far and wide, after all, Xiao Family Market could protect their safety and rights.
Xiao Xuanyuan originally wanted to give the beaten vendor more gold coins as compensation, but he knew the saying that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." If he gave too much, he was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble for the vendor, so he gave up the idea.
After calming the small vendors down, Xiao Xuanyuan tossed the storage ring back to Jia Lie'ao. Jia Lie'ao caught it and quickly scanned it with his mind. Seeing that there were still most of the medicinal herbs in the ring, his ashen face softened a little.
"Alright, you can get lost!" Now that he had gotten what he wanted, he might as well ask him to leave. Anyway, this Galeo was no good person; he had come to Xiao Family Market specifically to cause trouble, so Xiao Xuanyuan wasn't going to give him any face.
Since Xiao Xuanyuan had spoken, Xiao Tieshan's law enforcement guards naturally began to chase them away. Before long, Galeo and his two attendants slunk away. As he left, he glared fiercely at Xiao Xuanyuan, as if to say, "You just wait."
Xiao Xuanyuan didn't stand on ceremony with him and coldly said, "Don't you want your eyes anymore?" Only then did Galeo withdraw his gaze with some fear.
"Young Master Xiao, this is for you." As soon as Galeo left, the beaten vendor came up with a grateful look on his face and handed Xiao Xuanyuan a package.
The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo
Chapter Twelve: Rejuvenating Elixir and Foundation Building Elixir
On a huge rock behind the Xiao family's mountain, Xiao Xuanyuan sat cross-legged, watching the old medicine master refine medicine with a very serious expression. However, he hugged his arms, clearly feeling cold.
"Old Yao, what kind of rubbish is this? It's clearly a flame, but it's freezing cold."
The old herbalist stood cross-legged, suspended in mid-air, a jet-white flame erupting from his hand. Various medicinal herbs were drawn from a package opened beside Xiao Xuanyuan and then fed into the jet-white flame in his hand. This jet-white flame was quite peculiar, seemingly possessing a spirit, burning like an elf.
Upon hearing this, the old man turned around and glared at Xiao Xuanyuan, his beard bristling.
"Do you know what kind of strange fire I use? This is the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, ranked eleventh on the Strange Fire Ranking. It can only be encountered in extremely cold and yin places once every hundred years, at the time of the alternation of the sun and moon. Because this flame is a unique strange fire that combines extreme cold and extreme heat, do you think it's so easy to obtain? I have been planning and preparing for this for a long time, and I even stayed in that wretched place for several years. Even with so many preparations, I was almost devoured by this Bone Spirit Cold Fire back then. Do you think this strange fire is so easy to obtain? You call it trash? You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Xiao Xuanyuan curled his lips: "I know you're amazing, but could you please tone down the temperature of this Bone Spirit Cold Flame? It's extremely cold one minute and extremely hot the next, it's unbearable."
The old man looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with great pride: "I just wanted you to taste the flavor of the strange fire, but I didn't expect you to be so fragile." After saying that, the old man deliberately controlled and withdrew the temperature that was overflowing from the Bone Spirit Cold Fire Powder.
