Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 303 Astonishingly Talented
```
"The next moment is when we witness a miracle!"
Xiao Yi's mouth curled into a slight, mysterious smile.
To make Nalan Qianqiu agree to cooperate, it was necessary to leave him with no worries, and the simplest method was to let Nalan Qianqiu witness his formidable abilities firsthand.
Whether it be martial arts, formations, or alchemy, the simplest and most practical approach was to overpower the other party with sheer strength!
Only by showing off enough power,
could one make others submit.
A flick of a finger alchemy.
This was a unique move that only the Wind Thunder Sage could perform by harnessing the Wind Thunder Holy Body.
Hiss, hiss!
Electricity flickered around Xiao Yi's body, followed by a fierce wind thunder that concentrated on his fingertips. His hands moved through the air like playing a piano, with rhythmic motions.
A tempest of blue winds raged.
In the air, they formed the embryonic shapes of nine pill furnaces.
At the same time...
Purple-gold thunderbolts shot out like snakes, twisting and coiling around the blue furnace shapes, turning into the spiraling serpentine Wind Thunder Pill Furnaces.
"Ingredients!"
With a call from Xiao Yi, he summoned objects from afar.
One by one, the medicine cabinets opened automatically.
Various herbs flew out.
These herbs gathered into ten medicinal streams that, drawn by the force of the wind thunder, each entered one of the ten Wind Thunder Pill Furnaces.
"Are those ingredients for refining the Earthly Treasure Elixir?"
"Those are for the Heavenly Treasure Elixir..."
"That is..."
The crowd, with their eyes on the diverse herbs forming streams into the Wind Thunder Pill Furnaces, could naturally discern what type of elixir was being crafted, thanks to their alchemical knowledge.
Ten different elixirs, plus those four pill furnaces, made for fourteen completely different types of elixirs.
From the lowest Grade 1 elixirs to Grade 6.
And all were the most popular kinds on the market.
"Has this guy gone mad?"
"Mad? I think he's practically a god... Leaving aside whether he can succeed in refining, just this technique of solidifying the qi pill furnace is priceless..." Nangong Shoucheng's eyes blazed with greed.
Aside from herbs, formulas, and alchemical methods, the thing that troubled alchemists the most was the pill furnace!
Pill furnaces are hard to craft.
Even for a seasoned artifact refiner, the success rate is extremely low when forging pill furnaces. After all, while a formation carved on a weapon is sufficient, it must be inscribed inside a pill furnace.
An excellent artifact refiner is definitely a top-tier array master.
But array masters, how rare and precious they are!
In major forces, they are worshipped like ancestors!
How could they be used for artifact refining?
But what about Xiao Yi?
He could actually solidify qi into a pill furnace and proceed smoothly with alchemy. If he truly succeeded in forming pills, this method of qi-solidifying pill furnaces would be a technique that all alchemists would desperately seek.
"If Xiao Yi loses the wager with the old ancestor, he'll have to comply with whatever the old ancestor wishes. By then, he must make him hand over this technique of qi-solidifying pill furnaces..." Nangong Shoucheng was already fantasizing about the benefits after winning the wager.
But Nalan Qianqiu stared without blinking, fixated on those fourteen pill furnaces.
Xiao Yi's control of four pill furnaces previously had already impressed them.
Now, he was simultaneously controlling fourteen furnaces!
This was simply divine!
"If he can succeed in making pills like this, as long as the quality of the elixirs can keep up, cooperating with him might offer a chance to suppress the Nangong and Beitang families..." Nalan Qianqiu's eyes narrowed into slits, murmuring to himself.
At this moment,
burst after burst of medicinal fragrance suddenly emitted from the pill furnaces.
From the time Xiao Yi put the ingredients into the furnaces, it had only been the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
To have fragrance within the time it takes an incense stick to burn?
This meant that Xiao Yi had completed the refining of the ingredients, capturing their essence. What followed was the solidifying of pills. If he succeeded at solidifying, this round of alchemy would be a complete success.
What remained to be seen was the quality of the elixirs and the cost after distribution.
For example, a Qi Condensing Pill's cost was ten silvers each.

Xiao Yi's batch of ingredients was worth thirty silvers; if it yielded three pills, it would meet the average standard. If there were five pills, then the cost of each would be six silvers, far below the market cost.
"Hmph, refining ingredients is the easiest part, the key is solidifying the pill!" Beitang Kong declared.
Nangong Shoucheng nodded, "Solidifying the pill will be a failure if unsuccessful. If he focused on crafting one batch of elixirs, the success rate would undoubtedly be high. But he is so arrogant as to craft fourteen kinds of elixirs at the same time, I believe it is impossible for him to succeed!"
Solidifying pills is what consumes the most focus.
```
Ordinary alchemists concentrate on refining a single batch of pills, and even then, the success rate isn't high.
What's more for Xiao Yi, who was refining fourteen batches of pills at the same time?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
A dazzling light radiated from the top of each of the fourteen pill furnaces as Xiao Yi's figure floated ethereally, his slender fingers dancing gracefully as if caressing the strings of a harp, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.
In a splendid display.
Xiao Yi's eyebrows knitted together as he let out a low roar, "Pills solidified!"
Boom, boom, boom!
Fourteen pill furnaces trembled simultaneously.
"Bing Xin, collect the pills!" Xiao Yi commanded in a low shout.
"Yes!"
Lin Bingxin leaped up, floating gracefully like a fairy or a nimble swallow soaring through the air, flitting amongst the pill furnaces. She reached out with her pill bottles, and one by one, the pills flew into the bottles.
A moment later.
All ten Qi Condensing Pill furnaces had disappeared.
The flames around the other four furnaces had also quietly subsided.
In front of everyone stood fourteen pill bottles in a row.
Everyone was dumbstruck...
Gulp!
Nangong Shoucheng swallowed hard, "He, did he really finish? Refining fourteen different kinds of pills at once, and all of them solidified?"
"Incredible, is this even possible for a human to achieve?" Beitang Kong was astounded.
Ning Luo sucked in the cold air, unable to speak.
Admiration and pride filled the eyes of Yan Mingli and Lin Bingxin.
Nalan Qianqiu's eyes sparkled with intense anticipation.
Xiao Yi looked at Nalan Qianqiu with a smile, "Master Nalan, please inspect them!"
"Alright!"
Nalan Qianqiu took a deep breath and opened the first bottle of Qi Condensing Pills, counting as he opened, "Qi Condensing Pills, normally one can get three pills from one batch of materials, but in this bottle, there are one, two..."
With each number he uttered, everyone's heart pounded heavily.
When the count reached four.
Nangong Shoucheng and Beitang Kong's expressions stiffened.
As Nalan Qianqiu's count reached five, their faces turned pale.
"That's it, right?"
"It must be, right? There are already five pills; the average cost is six taels..."
Both were nervous.
However...
Nalan Qianqiu's mouth didn't stop, "Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven..." with each number, his hands shook more violently, until at fifteen, Nalan Qianqiu was drenched in cold sweat.
His hands trembling, he looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief, "Fifteen pills? One batch of materials yielded fifteen pills? How, how is this possible?"
"Impossible, even if we perform beyond expectations, we can at most get eight or nine pills from a batch... Fifteen, how can this be?"
"The efficacy must be subpar..."
Nangong Shoucheng and the others pushed past Nalan Qianqiu, but when they saw the fifteen lustrous, jade-like pills, they fell to the ground with a thud.
All fifteen pills were of the highest quality!
"No, it must only be this one; the others definitely cannot compare..." They could not give up and opened the other bottles.
Earthly Treasure Elixir, ten pills.
Gold Cloud Elixir, ten pills solidified.
Ten pills!
Fifteen pills...
All fourteen types of pills, at least ten pills solidified, all uniformly of the highest quality!
Thud!
Thud!
Nangong Shoucheng and Beitang Kong slumped, legs weakening, faces turning pale, cold sweat soaking through their clothes. Their gazes towards Xiao Yi shifted from the previous scorn and mockery to shock and fear.

This man was worth hundreds of six-star alchemists!
"What kind of existence have we provoked?" They looked at each other, at a loss.
Xiao Yi didn't pay heed to them, smiling at Nalan Qianqiu, "Master Nalan, is this cooperation to your satisfaction?"
Gulp!
Nalan Qianqiu swallowed hard, barely containing his excitement, and said through gritted teeth, "Very satisfactory!"
