Chapter 869 Crisis in Xia Mansion

"Yes, Qin Yi, I think what Uncle Xia said is very true. How about you stay in this Xia Mansion for a little longer?"

Xing Mu on the side also said.

Everyone else also echoed in unison.

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then there is Lao Xia Mansion!"

The words of the Master of the Xia Mansion are not unreasonable. Besides, they are not enough to delay the matter for a few days at most, so they are not in the way.

"This young man, at such a young age, can directly kill a green-blooded lion with one punch. He is quite extraordinary. We cannot miss him and must do everything we can to keep him in our house."

Looking at the young man's retreating figure, Xia Changqing said slowly.

In this regard, everyone in the hall will naturally not have any objections. If they can obtain this young man, Xia Mansion will be tantamount to obtaining a rare treasure.

"Shuang'er, I think this young man is about the same age as you, so I will leave the task of leaving him behind to you."

Xia Changqing looked at Xia Ningshuang and smiled meaningfully: "You can use any means."

"ah……"

Xia Ningshuang exhaled tenderly again, her crystal jade cheeks turned so red that she could almost shed tears. Xia Changqing's meaning was obvious, especially the sentence "You can use any means", which is very easy to make people laugh. What a wild dream!

However, thinking of Qin Yi's unusually handsome appearance, Xia Ningshuang's heart felt a hint of sweetness.

Everyone present smiled knowingly.

The hall slowly became quiet, everyone sat there quietly, no one spoke, and for a moment, the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.

"Uncle Xia, you have gone out to do market research these days. Have you found out the real reason why the profits of elixirs in our Xia Mansion have been falling sharply in the past six months?"

Xing Mu finally broke the silence and asked Xia Changqing.

Xia Changqing has two daughters, Xia Ningxue and Xia Ningshuang. Xing Mu is Xia Ningxue's fiancé. Therefore, Xing Mu has a high status in the Xia Mansion and is equivalent to Xia Changqing's eldest son.

As soon as Xing Mu said these words, the eyes of everyone in the hall were all focused on Xia Changqing.

Xia Changqing's face gradually darkened. After a while, he sighed heavily and said, "Of course the investigation has revealed that in the past six months since our Xia Mansion, the profits from elixirs will plummet. That's because Both the Yan Mansion and the Zhuge Mansion invited several alchemists with superb alchemy skills from unknown sources. The elixirs they refined were basically second-grade, and the prices were not expensive. Those buyers are naturally flocking to Yan Mansion and Zhuge Mansion, and it is naturally difficult for our Xia Mansion to sell the elixirs."

Yan Mansion and Zhuge Mansion actually invited experts to refine the elixirs, which were basically second-grade pills!

Everyone in the hall opened their mouths in astonishment. For a moment, they stood there in a daze, all of them lost their minds.

This news is undoubtedly as big as a bolt from the blue to Xia Mansion!

"Our Xia Mansion has a large population, and we basically rely on the profits from elixirs to sustain our existence."

Xia Changqing sighed heavily again: "Although I have asked Alchemist Heyun to refine a batch of elixirs for us, there are seventy or eighty elixirs in this batch, including more than ten third-grade elixirs. , the rest are also second-grade, but this batch of elixirs will not last long, and will be sold out within two months at most. After this batch of elixirs is sold out, we will return to the prototype, so If this continues, our Xia Mansion will be completely bankrupt within a year at most."

Everyone was silent and their faces were a little pale.

Once Xia Mansion goes bankrupt, how will Xia Mansion handle such a large population? You don’t need to think about this situation to know how miserable it is!

"snort!"

A cold snort sounded from the hall, it was Xia Ningshuang who was wearing a red robe.

I saw her standing up from her seat, her delicate little face already full of annoyance, and her crisp words rang out in the hall: "Our medicinal materials market in Kyoto has always been... The Yan Mansion, the Zhuge Mansion, and our Xia Mansion are three pillars. This time, the Yan Mansion and the Zhuge Mansion didn't say a word but they didn't know where to invite the masters. This was obviously what they had secretly discussed. Our Xia Mansion was raised and destroyed, and then these two families ruled the medicinal materials market in Kyoto."

"Sister Ningshuang, what you said is a fact. However, if people do this now, what can our Xia Mansion do? Yan Mansion and Zhuge Mansion neither stole nor robbed. In the eyes of the world, they are just We are doing business openly and honestly, even if our Xia Mansion knows their intentions, we can't help them."

Xing Mu said helplessly.

"Yeah, that's the problem. We know clearly that they want to lift us up, but we can't do anything to them? Maybe the Yan Mansion and the Zhuge Mansion are enjoying themselves at the moment."

Other people in the hall also echoed.

"Father, as the manager of the alchemy room in my house, I failed to train a high-level alchemist and refine high-quality elixirs. It is my fault."

Xia Ningxue, who had been silent all this time, lowered her head slightly, with a mixture of guilt and pain on her beautiful face.

"Xue'er, I can't blame you for this."

Xia Changqing, who was above the high hall, shook his head lightly and said: "You are so young, but you can have such alchemy skills now, which shows that you still have quite good alchemy talent in the field of alchemy. What's more, you also have It is not easy to manage the entire alchemy room."

"Yes, Xue'er, don't blame yourself too much. If you want to blame, you can only blame Yan Mansion and Zhuge Mansion. This trick is too insidious."

Xing Mu on the side hugged Xia Ningxue's delicate shoulders and comforted her softly.

Xia Ningshuang, the second lady of the Xia Mansion, is actually an alchemist, and her alchemy talent is quite good. Of course, that is only compared to the Kyoto of Baidan. If she were placed in the Kyushu Holy See, she would not even become an alchemist. They don’t even have the qualifications to be a teacher.

"If our Xia Mansion can invite Alchemist Heyun to refine elixirs for our Xia Mansion, with his attainments in the field of alchemy, how can Yan Mansion and Zhuge Mansion be in trouble?"

An old man in gray robe sighed.

Alchemist Heyun is quite famous in the entire Kyoto. If he can really be invited, not to mention the elixirs he refines, just in terms of momentum, Xia Mansion will be able to defeat Yan Mansion and Zhuge Mansion. Government, suppress it.

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the hall couldn't help but light up, and they saw a glimmer of hope.

Xia Changqing, the head of the Xia Mansion, shook his head helplessly and said: "I think you have all heard about Senior Heyun's temper. He will not be involved in the struggle for interests between the major families at all. This time I asked him to refine the batch of elixirs, and I tried all means to get him to reluctantly agree to help our Xia Mansion and temporarily alleviate this difficulty."<
