Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 350: Is This Also Inspired by Xiao?

Inside Treasure Pavilion.

Nalan Qianqiu, Xue Bufan, and Yan Mingli exchanged glances, their faces troubled, "When can Xiao return? Our stock of medicinal materials has run out!"

"The first batch of elixirs has already been delivered to the Treasure Pavilions across the Great Qian Dynasty, just waiting for the order to ignite this price war. But if the follow-up materials can’t keep up, there’s no way to start the battle!" Nalan Qianqiu said with a bitter smile.

Right at this moment.

Ning Luo hurried in with a look of excitement, "Master, Xiao has sent someone!"

"Hmm?"

Nalan Qianqiu was startled, his face breaking into ecstatic joy, "Quickly, invite them in!"

A moment later.

Li Jinjun arrived in front of the group with Fu Yuan.

Li Jinjun greeted everyone with a bow, showing no disrespect even though Yan Mingli’s martial arts prowess fell far short of his, "Jinjun pays respects to the sirs, the headmaster sent me to assist you with Master Yuan!"

"Fu Yuan?"

"The only seven-star alchemist, Master Yuan, from Beast Emperor City?"

Nalan Qianqiu’s complexion changed dramatically, his incredulous gaze falling upon Fu Yuan. Taking two steps at once, he approached Fu Yuan and burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Fu Yuan, it is indeed you!"

The two embraced each other, patting each other on the back.

Fu Yuan’s face was filled with emotion, "Qianqiu, it’s been many years; you haven’t changed a bit!"

"But you have aged a lot!"

Nalan Qianqiu laughed heartily, his face showing a hint of confusion as he asked, "Old fellow, when I asked you to join my Treasure Pavilion, you refused to budge. Why have you come now?"

Fu Yuan let out a sigh, "Don’t mention it!"

He then recounted his misadventure in Beast Emperor City, how he mistakenly threw in his lot with Sha Kun, which almost resulted in the destruction of the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce, and finally, how he traded ten years of loyalty to ensure the Chamber’s survival to Nalan Qianqiu.

Fu Yuan’s face bore a bitter smile, "Now, I am just waiting for this ten-year period to end, and then I can regain my freedom!"

Nalan Qianqiu was taken aback and gave Fu Yuan a strange look, "Are you sure that after ten years you will leave?"

"Hmm?"

Fu Yuan was puzzled as he looked at Nalan Qianqiu, saying somewhat annoyed, "After ten years, if not leave, should I continue to stay here?"

Nalan Qianqiu coughed lightly and said, "I advise you not to leave; follow Xiao’s footsteps closely instead!"

"Hmm? What do you mean by that?"

Fu Yuan frowned, displeasure on his face, and said haughtily, "I am a distinguished seven-star alchemist; if it weren’t for Huang’s face, Xiao Yi wouldn’t have the capacity to request my presence at the Xiaoshanhe Institute."

Yan Mingli sneered, "Thinking too highly of yourself? It’s as if Xiao was begging you to come!"

Xue Bufan also showed disdain, "Having the opportunity to be by Xiao’s side is a fortune for you!"

"Ridiculous, do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like this?"

Fu Yuan’s face darkened; he had not, like the Shadow Demon and others, witnessed Xiao Yi’s terrifying side. Moreover, as a seven-star alchemist, unless someone could surpass him in alchemy, it was impossible for them to earn his respect, "I acknowledge Xiao Yi’s martial arts talent is strong, but in terms of alchemy..."

Before he could finish.

Nalan Qianqiu, touching his nose, interjected, "In terms of alchemy, you are even less a match for Xiao!"

"Hmm?"

Fu Yuan’s face stiffened, his expression one of disbelief as he turned to Nalan Qianqiu, "Qianqiu, do you know what you’re saying? I am inferior to him? You’re joking..."

"Fu Yuan, what do you think of me?" Nalan Qianqiu asked.

Fu Yuan slightly furrowed his brow.

Having known Nalan Qianqiu for many years, he was aware that Nalan Qianqiu’s talent and strength in alchemy were on par with his own.

Fu Yuan said in a deep voice, "You and I are on par."

"That was in the past!"

Nalan Qianqiu responded and then took out a bottle of elixir from the side and handed it to Fu Yuan, "Take a look at these elixirs!"

"Hmm? Aren’t these just Three-Star Elixir Shen Yi Elixirs? Are you still making such low-level... Eh? Wait, these, these elixirs..."

The disdain and contempt on Fu Yuan’s face crumbled as he looked at the elixirs poured onto his palm; his face went through cycles of pallor and flush, constantly changing: "This, this is impossible... All of these thirty-plus elixirs are from the same batch? And, and the quality is so pure? All of them are of top-grade quality?"

Even with the current level of Fu Yuan’s alchemy skills, when making Shen Yi Elixirs, a batch would at most yield twenty elixirs, and it would be considered an exceptional performance if half of them were top-grade.

But the batch in his hands actually had more than thirty, and all of them were of top-grade quality!

To achieve such an effect,

only an alchemy level surpassing his own by an entire rank could explain it!

Fu Yuan looked at Nalan Qianqiu solemnly, his breathing hastening, "Qianqiu, could it be that an Eight-Star Alchemy Grandmaster has made these? Where is that Grandmaster? Can you introduce me?"

Nalan Qianqiu sighed, pointing to himself, "I made these elixirs!"

"Ah?"

Fu Yuan was startled and frowned, "Don’t joke with me, how could I not know your level?" He paused for a moment, and then Fu Yuan understood, "I see now, you must have received guidance from an Eight-Star Alchemy Grandmaster, right?"

Nalan Qianqiu smiled bitterly, "Indeed, it was me, but it wasn’t under the guidance of an Eight-Star Alchemy Grandmaster, but Xiao."

"What?"

Fu Yuan’s face stiffened.

Xiao Yi?

He shook his head like a rattle-drum, "Qianqiu, I know Xiao is gifted in martial arts, but alchemy is entirely different from martial arts. How old is he? How can he master both..."

He absolutely refused to believe that Xiao Yi, who was merely twenty years old, could be stronger than him in alchemy!

Nalan Qianqiu sighed, pointing to Yan Mingli and Xue Bufan standing behind him, "How about these two?"

"Them?"

Fu Yuan wrinkled his eyebrows, directly disregarding Yan Mingli, who was merely at the Golden Core Realm, and said to Xue Bufan, "This one is indeed promising, and he might be able to reach a Seven-Star level in the future, but whether he can reach our heights depends on his opportunities!"

No sooner had he finished speaking.

Xue Bufan and Yan Mingli both took out a medicinal bottle and poured out the elixirs inside.

The same Shen Yi Elixirs.

Xue Bufan’s bottle contained twenty-eight, all of them top-grade.

Yan Mingli had slightly fewer, only twenty-two, but they were also all of top-grade quality.

Nalan Qianqiu said in a grave voice, "These elixirs were all personally crafted by them."

"These, were these also guided by Xiao?"

Fu Yuan looked dumbfounded, completely baffled.

Even with his skills in making Shen Yi Elixirs, a successful batch would yield a maximum of twenty elixirs, with half being top-grade at best. But now, even Yan Mingli, who was at the Golden Core Realm, had surpassed him?

Nalan Qianqiu and the other two looked at him with sympathy, nodding in unison.

Gulp!

Fu Yuan swallowed hard.

Remembering his earlier disdain and contempt for Xiao Yi in the field of alchemy, he felt his face burning as if he had just been slapped dozens of times...
