Chapter 4 Fallen Genius!
Utan City.

Xiao family.

Xiao Zhan's life was very smooth in the first two years. The family business was booming and his son was a well-known cultivation genius.

Seeing that the Xiao family is about to reach glory in his own hands.

But God just made a joke to him.

First, his favorite and most talented youngest son turned from a practicing genius to a useless person overnight.

Recently, their old rivals of the Xiao family, the Jialie family, have been causing trouble again!

The Jialie family did not know what means to use to curry favor with a fourth-grade alchemy master.

Although the fourth-grade alchemy master did not personally make medicine for the Jialie family, he just sent an apprentice to sit in charge.

But even so, it is not something that the Xiao family can compete with.

The nobility of an alchemist cannot be compared to it even if the entire Xiao family is sold.

The Xiao family's market also suffered a heavy blow.

In just three months, business dropped by nearly [-]%!

Recently, the Jialie family has stepped on the face of the Xiao family to export, which made Xiao Zhan feel angry and at the same time very headache.

"Son, just concentrate on your practice. You don't need to worry about family matters."

Xiao Zhan looked at his youngest son, his eyes full of love.

My youngest son was the most talented person in Wutan City two years ago!

He was able to reach the ninth level of Dou Qi when he was less than 10 years old, and successfully condensed the whirlpool of Dou Qi at the age of 11, becoming the youngest fighter in his family in a century.

At that time, my son was like a new star in the sun, shining brightly!

But now, his son has become a waste who can't even gather his fighting spirit.

As a father, Xiao Zhan also felt heartbroken about this gap.

Recently, because the Jialie family has become more and more arrogant, the Xiao family's cities and towns are not at peace. Xiao Yan, who is unable to practice, took the initiative and wanted to go to the cities to help.

However, he was rejected by Xiao Zhan.

"Father."

Xiao Yan met Xiao Zhan's eyes, his heart was full of emotion, but he still laughed at himself: "I am a useless person who can't even condense the fighting spirit, so why do I need to practice?"

"nonsense!"

Xiao Zhan shouted angrily, "My son, Xiao Zhan, has never been a cripple!"

"Father!"

Xiao Yan felt his father's care and was even more moved.

"Yan'er, this is the second-grade Huiqi Powder. After taking it, it can help absorb Dou Qi. Please keep it."

Xiao Zhan took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yan.

"Father, I can't have this!"

Xiao Yan shook his head and refused: "As the leader of the clan, my father cannot favor one over the other. If I show partiality, there may be dissatisfaction within the clan, which will affect my father's prestige as the clan leader."

In fact, there are already complaints within the clan.

Why would a useless person take up so many family resources?
"My son has grown up!"

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan happily, his eyes full of emotion.

How can Sai Weng lose his horse and know that it is not a blessing?

Although Xiao Yan lost all his cultivation, his character has grown tremendously.

In the past, his son would never have been able to say these words.

"Yan'er, my father is very happy that you can think about it."

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "But you can keep the things your father gives you with peace of mind. It's just a few rumors, nothing to be afraid of!"

"Your father and I have been the patriarch for so many years. If I don't even have this right, then I'm still calling me a shitty patriarch!"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw his father's domineering appearance.

"Patriarch, we are back!"

Just when Xiao Yan was about to say something else, two people suddenly walked in outside the door.

"Brother, Third Elder!"

When Xiao Yan saw the visitor, he cupped his hands and said hello.

"Third brother."

The eldest brother Xiao Ding smiled warmly when he saw his younger brother.

"Ok!"

The third elder nodded calmly.

"Yan'er, you go first, the third elder and I still have something to discuss."

Xiao Zhan stuffed the second-grade elixir into Xiao Yan's hand.

"Good father."

Xiao Yan took the elixir and left the hall.

However, when passing by the third elder, the latter snorted coldly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but speed up his steps by three points.

"Third Elder, how was your trip?"

Xiao Zhan knew what the third elder was dissatisfied about, so he didn't give the other party a chance to attack and asked directly:

"Have you invited anyone?"

When the third elder heard this, he didn't care about the clan leader's little thoughts and said with an ugly expression:
"Not invited."

"We visited more than a dozen alchemists during this trip, but either no one was willing to take action, or the lion opened its mouth and wanted to devour my Xiao family."

When Xiao Zhan heard this, his expression was slightly ugly.

The only one who can defeat the alchemist is the alchemist!
The only way for the Xiao family to avoid being defeated by the Jialie family is to also have an alchemist.

That's why Xiao Zhan ordered the three elders to go to the imperial capital to see if they could hire an alchemist for the Xiao family.

But the status of an alchemist is too noble.

Not to mention the second rank, a powerful alchemist of the third rank.

Even first-rank pharmacists, there are very few people who can fall in love with such a small family as the Xiao family.

Only unqualified alchemists are willing to cooperate with small families like them.

But even so, the conditions offered by those people wished to swallow up the entire Xiao family.

Not suitable for cooperation at all.

"Clan leader, I heard that the Jialie family is trying to completely drive our Xiao family out of the city?"

The third elder asked with solemn eyes as he recalled the rumors he heard on the way back.

"They are wishful thinking!"

Xiao Zhan snorted coldly, "Old Gallie wants to drive my Xiao family out of the market, but we have to see if he has such good teeth first!"

Xiao Zhan is one of the most powerful practitioners in the entire Wutan City.

The Jialie family wanted to squeeze them out of the market, but it was almost too late!
"But even if they can't squeeze our clan out of the city, they can still severely damage the Xiao family's vitality."

The third elder's expression didn't improve much, but his expression was still serious.

Xiao Zhan also fell silent after hearing this.

Because what the third elder said was right, the Jialie family really couldn't completely squeeze the Xiao family out of the market by relying on a mediocre alchemist.

But they can still easily do it if the Xiao family's vitality is severely damaged and plummets from then on.

"Alchemist!"

Xiao Zhan spat out three words fiercely, but his eyes were full of envy.

Alchemists are too powerful and important.

If the Xiao family also has an alchemist to help them, why should they be angry with the Najiale family?
You know, in terms of hard power, although the leader of the Najiale clan is also a great fighting master, Xiao Zhan has full confidence in defeating him!

"Father, Third Elder."

Just as the atmosphere in the hall was getting depressing,
Xiao Ding, who was standing silently aside, suddenly spoke and said with a smile:

"On the way back, I heard some interesting news."

"Perhaps, it can help our Xiao family defeat the Jialie family in one fell swoop, or even annex the Jialie family!"
