The Battle Through Heaven
Head of Marketplace Young
Less than a month after the release of Blood Clotting Powder, the Xiao Clan won seventy percent of Wu Tang City's healing medicine market. The great advantage filled the Xiao Clan with joy. Pages and doors, which were rarely used recently, are now in continuous use and are now as lively as the market.
Compared to the Xiao Clan, the Jia Lie Clan was filled with gloom. Because of their favourable ways recently, they had aroused the dislike of the majority of the mercenaries. Moreover, the Xiao Clan's Blood Freezing Powder was stronger than the Spring Return Powder. Hence, the Jia Lie Clan's healing medicine business continued to be suppressed by the Xiao Clan's business. Had it not been for Xiao Clan's daily limit on the sale of their healing medicine, the Jia Lie Clan would not have had any business at all.
While their market share in the healing medicine industry has shrunk, there are still neat gains to be made. The main headache for the Lie Jia Clan lay in the large amount of medical ingredients required for them to make their medicines.
The largest resource warehouse in the city, the Primer Auction House, had refused to continue cooperation with them. Facing this embargo on medical materials, the Lie Jia Clan was filled with anger. Despite being furious, they did not dare to use any strength to fight against the Primer Auction House. Supporting the Primer Auction House was a power that could rank among the most powerful of the entire Jia Ma Empire. A small family clan in Wu Tang City like them had no ability to provoke them.
Can't buy items from the Auction House, either, The desperate Jia Lie Clan could only buy all the stock of medical materials of the shops in Wu Tang City at a price several times higher than their market value. However, this is only a temporary measure. Medical materials stores do not have the ability to meet such a huge demand in the long run.
More importantly, everyone in Wu Tang City had recognized the anger and killing intent between the Xiao Clan and the Jia Lie clan. Helping the Jia Lie clan now would definitely offend the Xiao clan, which was getting stronger every day. Therefore, after the sale of their first medicinal ingredients to the Jia Lie Clan, many medicinal shops did not dare to sell to them in large quantities anymore. This restriction also worsened the state of the Jia Lie Clan.
With this, the source of the Jia Lie Clan's medicinal ingredients from Wu Tang City had been cut by nearly eighty percent. The remaining resources were simply too insufficient to meet the demand from the manufacture of their healing medicine. Because of this, the completely helpless Jia Lie Clan could only use high prices to purchase medicinal ingredients from other cities, barely managing to overcome the crisis caused by the shortage of medicinal ingredients. By doing this, however, the advantage of the Jia Lie Clan once again shrank. If not for the advantages of the healing medicine, the Jia Lie Clan would already be facing bankruptcy.
Currently in Wu Tang City, the position of the Xiao clan increased with the help of their healing medicine and even vaguely showed momentum to surpass the other two great clans.

Xiao Yan walked sluggishly on the street in the rowdy market. Behind him, seven to eight tall and tall men, decorated with Xiao Clan guard uniforms. On all of these big fellow chests, there would be four or more gold stars. Clearly, all of these large men possessed the strength of at least a four star Dou Zhe.
On the street where the flow of people was rather large, the many fierce and formidable mercenaries who exuded the scent of blood all smiled amiably when they saw a young man walking lazily with his hands behind his head. Sometimes, more familiar people will laugh asking: “Young head, have you come to patrol the market again?” mouth before soft breathing. Half a month ago, Xiao Zhan suddenly placed him to lead this market in the name of training him. Regarding Xiao Zhan's actions, the Xiao Clan argued. Having someone managing the market in his teens was unheard of in the Xiao Clan. However, after considering Xiao Yan's many high positions in the clan, some finally agreed. Therefore, Xiao Yan, who had originally rested at home, was assigned to this market.
Although the market is huge, the management is not too tiring. Which was something that comforted Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan tossed other things about the division of the streets and the discussion about the rental prices of the shops in the main locations to the old housekeeper that his father had assigned specifically to him. Every day, he would occasionally bring a large group of men to patrol the streets and manage market security issues, spending his days quietly, yet uncontrollably.
On the surface, Xiao Yan appeared to be light and indifferent. However, he was happy to gather with the mercenaries and discuss the stimulating and dangerous experiences they had during the mission, the strange monsters and Qi Methods left behind in the cave. This discussion increased Xiao Yan's thirst for risk-taking and adventure. He wanted to enter a remote mountain range that had almost no trace of people to search for a secret yet powerful Dou Technique and Qi Method.
Recalling the events for the past half a month, Xiao Yan smiled emotionally. Days like that are numbered. At most, after another half a month, he would have to leave with Yao Lao on a training trip and at least another year or two before he returned.
Dispelling his melancholy, Xiao Yan raised his head. A wretched and skinny image of the crowd came rushing at him all of a sudden.
Stopping his steps and looking at the ordinary-clothed little man, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed as he spoke nonchalantly: “Ke Lu, why are you here instead of being out there, make your wealth?
The creepy-looking little man, Ke Lu, in front of him was the famous market pickpocket, the golden finger. When faced with this kind of shady job, Xiao Yan did not realistically attempt to eliminate them. He knew very well that if there was a front side, there would be a back side. Although such jobs were looked down upon, they were highly informed. Regardless of whatever happened anywhere in Wu Tan City, they would have some information about it.
“Hehe, young master,” Faced Xiao Yan with a flattering smile, the thin little man named Ke Lu said with a smile: “This lowly person is here to tell you that I have information from my subordinates who say that Xun Er Xiao-jie was verbally insulted by a man of unknown origin in the outside market. I came here after hearing about it. “
” Oh right, Jia Lie Ao of the Jia Lie clan is also among the present. It seemed like he was acquainted with the man wearing funeral clothes and was talking to Xun Er Xiao-Jie. Some people accompanied them.
Narrowing his eyes, Xiao Yan's indifferent face gradually grew cold. His head was slightly tilted, he said gently, Xiao Li, call the others. As long as they are alive, they should be here. “
” Understood! “A big man respectfully replied before hurriedly turning around and running towards the interior of the market.
“Lead the way,” Xiao Yan said indifferently as he turned around and raised his chin.
Seeing the sudden chill on Xiao Yan's face, Ke Lu hurriedly nodded. Not daring to utter any unnecessary words, he immediately began to lead his way.
“This bastard dared to come to the Xiao Clan territory to persecute a member of the Xiao Clan. If I, Xiao Yan, let you leave the market unscathed, I will leave my post as head of the market! Licking his lips, Xiao Yan's terrifying voice made Ke Lu, who was at the forefront of leading the way, tremble and take his step.
