Chapter Summaries

After Feng Wu became a Rank 1 Alchemist, the Xiao Clan approved a profit-sharing agreement and launched a surprise campaign to reclaim the market from the Gale Family. The Xiao Clan’s cheaper, unrestricted medicines won over mercenaries, while Gale Bi learned of the setback too late and raged at home.

• The Great Elder revealed Feng Wu’s Rank 1 Alchemist status and the jade bottles of pills, and the Xiao Clan approved a deal granting the clan half the sales revenue.
• The Great Elder led the Xiao Clan leaders in planning a commercial counterattack, and clan members moved into the market streets that night.
• Zhang San entered the Xiao Clan’s crowded market district, where Feng Wu and Xiao Ning kept him from leaving as a seller demonstrated Blood Coagulation Powder.
• Zhang San bought medicines from the Xiao Clan for less than two bottles of the Gale Family’s price-hiked Blood Replenishing Powder and hurried off to tell his fellow mercenaries.
• Xiao Clan shills gradually gave way to genuine mercenaries as the medicines spread by word of mouth, and the clan quietly reclaimed its market positions.
• Gale Bi received news of the Xiao Clan’s counterattack only after it had succeeded and angrily berated his subordinates.

As the Xiao Clan’s pill business drove the Gale Family toward ruin, Gale Bi launched a night raid while Gale Nu distracted the Xiao Clan elders. Gale Bi broke into Feng Wu’s room, only to discover that Feng Wu had been waiting for him.

• Feng Wu explained to Xiao Yu that the Ouba Family could retreat to its other businesses, while the Gale Family had no comparable fallback.

• The Great Elder, Xiao Ying, and the Dou Qi Pavilion elder surrounded the injured Gale Bi, and the Great Elder killed him before praising Feng Wu for helping stop his escape.

After the Xiao Clan destroyed the Gale Family, Ouba Pa decided to relocate his family rather than submit to Xiao Zhan, leaving the Xiao Clan dominant in Wu Tan City. Feng Wu learned the Ouba Family had fled and persuaded Xiao Yu to let him share her bed for the night because his room was wrecked.

• The Gale Family's Second Elder ordered an evacuation after learning Gale Nu had been killed, but Xiao Zhan's forces attacked and killed the gathered family members before burning their estate.
