Suppressing his anger, Galia Bi said grimly.
He didn't consider asking the Oba family for help. The workshop conflict was purely between the Galia and Xiao families. The Oba family ran casinos, with no direct conflict, and would not intervene.
Moreover, Oba Pa was probably hoping the Galia family would act rashly so he could punish them. Relying on him would be foolish.
Damn it!
Thinking of his family's crisis, Galia Bi's liver ached from rage.
"Father!"
Suddenly, Galia Ao's voice called from the doorway.
"I found a first-grade alchemist!"
Hearing this, Galia Bi's face brightened with joy. He rushed to the doorway and asked eagerly, "Where is he?"
Galia Ao looked pleased and made a gesture of invitation, a hint of flattery in his expression, addressing the young man in white robes.
"Brother Liu Xi, please."
The white-robed youth entered, walking with an arrogant stride, exuding pride.
Looking at Liu Xi's youthful, handsome face and familiar white robe, Galia Bi couldn't help but recall Xiao Jian.
Damn it!
"You… you are an alchemist?"
Galia Bi frowned, questioning.
Galia Nu and Galia Ku beside him also looked on critically.
It wasn't surprising that Galia Bi felt puzzled.
Liu Xi looked barely over twenty, with nothing remarkable aside from decent looks.
Yet he wore a white robe.
In all of Utan City, white robes were rare among young men, thanks to Xiao Jian's preference for wearing them.
It wasn't that Xiao Jian forbade others, but his appearance and aura were so outstanding that anyone in white would inevitably be compared to him....and lose immediately.
The gap was too great!
Liu Xi was no different. Without Xiao Jian as a reference, his outfit, paired with his alchemist identity, made him seem like a last-minute savior for the Galia family. In Galia Bi's mind, this image might have worked…
But as it was, his attempt at imitation left a poor first impression.
And he struck this foolish pose, exuding only the aura of a Dou Zhe. A Dou Zhe in his twenties… not very impressive.
"Heh, does the Galia patriarch not recognize the emblem issued by the Alchemist Association?"
Liu Xi stepped forward, pointing to the professional badge on his chest with a proud smile.
The emblem depicted an ancient alchemy cauldron, a silver ripple on its surface reflecting sunlight in a peculiar glow.
Could he really be a first-grade alchemist?
Seeing the badge, Galia Bi was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
"Heh, Mr. Liu Xi, my apologies for earlier. Please, have a seat!"
Galia Bi's face showed sincere regret, welcoming him warmly.
"Heh, I know your family's situation. I've seen the Blood-Clotting Powder. Judging by its quality, the crafter's level is clearly below mine.
Its effectiveness likely comes from a special formula."
Liu Xi spoke disdainfully, then added:
"In my experience, the Xiao family's alchemist is probably a rookie, relying on a borrowed formula to make Blood-Clotting Powder."
Hearing this, Galia Bi's face lit up with delight. He ignored Liu Xi's boastful words and quickly asked:
Mr. Liu Xi, would you assist the Galia family? Don't worry, compensation is negotiable, and we'll ensure your satisfaction!"
At these words, Liu Xi's eyes flashed with greed and lust.
Three days later.
Xiao Jian, immersed in cultivation, received news from Payne.
The Galia family had also started selling medicine.
It was called Rejuvenation Powder. While less effective than the Xiao family's Blood-Clotting Powder and priced similarly, it at least revitalized the Galia family's workshops.
After all, healing medicine was always in demand.
No one complained about too little medicine....or too long a life.
Many mercenaries in Utan City often traveled to the Beast Mountains.
Although physicians were there, no alchemists existed.
The remedies prepared lacked potency compared to those crafted by true alchemists.
Rejuvenation Powder was inferior to Blood-Clotting Powder, but still a decent alternative.
"Rejuvenation Powder, huh."
Xiao Jian squinted, smiling without concern.
It was just the beginning, so the Galia family could still compete slightly for market share.
But what about the huge quantities of herbs required later?
The Galia family's alchemist was a lust-driven fool. Surely there would be a lot of waste.
This was just the start. They could collect city herbs, but when the supply ran out… heh!
Xiao Jian could directly source from the Mittel Auction House.
Thanks to Yafei and Mittel Tengshan's favor, Yafei would no longer help the Galia family.
