Chapter 302 Have You Ever Seen Alchemy with a Single Finger?
"I was successful in my mission!"
Xiao Yi cupped one hand in the other before his chest toward Nalan Qianqiu with a smile.
Ning Luo also opened his eyes at this moment, subconsciously looking at his own hands. A fierce flame surged up in the palm of his hand. This was the Pill Fire condensed from the fiery attribute of his vital energy.
During the time when he was poisoned by the Three-Flower Seven-Leaf Herb, let alone condensing Pill Fire, even being near flames would make him feel unbearably uncomfortable.
But now...
He could once again clearly sense the familiarity emanating from the Pill Fire.
"Master, I am healed, I am completely healed..."
Excitement and ecstasy covered Ning Luo's face as he ran to Nalan Qianqiu's side.
Nalan Qianqiu's eyes were red-rimmed, with tears threatening to spill, for he had been restless and losing sleep over Ning Luo's poisoning these past months. This was not only his direct disciple but also a loved one he regarded as his own kin.
But after
"Easier said than done..." Nalan Qianqiu sighed.
Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Master Nalan, I naturally understand that this matter is not easy. You only need to tell me, are you willing to be subordinate to others?"
Nalan Qianqiu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said word by word, "No!"

Xiao Yi relaxed, his biggest worry being that Nalan Qianqiu had lost all will to fight. As long as he still had the desire to turn the tables, there was still a chance, "Master Nalan, I'd like to borrow your alchemy room."
"Hmm?"
Nalan Qianqiu was stunned.
Weren't they discussing cooperation?
Why did he suddenly want to go to the alchemy room?
Although he was puzzled, he still nodded and said, "Please follow me."
Nangong Shoucheng and Beitang Kong exchanged glances and followed as well.
Nalan Qianqiu's alchemy room was extremely large, containing four pill furnaces in total. Each one was of the sixth-order Yuan weapon level, each worth more than a hundred billion Silver.
"Xiao Yi, what on earth are you trying to pull?" Nangong Shoucheng frowned.
Beitang Kong said coldly, "Playing mysterious."
Xiao Yi paid no attention to the two men and instead walked toward the medicine cabinet where the herbs were stored. He took some herbs and said as he walked, "The competition in the elixir industry comes down to efficacy and price. For the same efficacy, the cheaper one is superior; for the same price, the one with better effects is superior. If the effects are outstanding and the price is low, then that elixir will be invincible, without any opponents!"
"Everyone knows that, but if you want to lower the price, you need to control costs. And how can you improve the efficacy of the elixirs once you control the costs?" Nangong Shoucheng said with a face full of scorn.
Beitang Kong sneered, "My Beitang Family controls the medicinal resources, and the Nangong Family controls the elixir resources. United, we are invincible."
"What you call united is actually collusion!"
Xiao Yi's face was scornful then he looked at Nalan Qianqiu seriously, "Master Nalan, what are the best-selling elixirs on the market now? And what is the cost?"
Nalan Qianqiu said, "The bestseller is Qi Gathering Elixir with a cost of ten Silver, Qi and Blood Elixir with a cost of a hundred Silver, Divine Passage Elixir with a cost of a thousand Silver, Gold Cloud Elixir with a cost of five thousand Silver..."
Ning Luo continued, "These four types of elixirs nearly occupy seventy percent of the market."
"Let's take these four elixirs then!"
Xiao Yi suddenly made a statement.
The crowd had not yet come back to their senses.
They saw Xiao Yi throwing batches of herbs into each of the four pill furnaces, then with a flick of his finger, his elemental energy transformed into a pill flame, pure azure in colour landing on the furnaces.
Boom!
Underneath the four pill furnaces blazed the pill flames forcefully.
"What? He's going to concoct four types of elixirs at the same time?"
"Isn't he too arrogant? Even as six-star alchemists, we can't manage to multitask to such an extent!"
"Don't mention you... Even I cannot multitask in this manner, let alone concoct four different types of elixirs at the same time..." said Nalan Qianqiu, shocked.
Different elixirs require different strengths of pill flames, steps in their concoction, and timing for the pills to form.
The difficulty of concocting four different elixirs at the same time even exceeds that of concocting eight furnaces of the same elixir.
"Drawing the crowd to show off!"
"Absolutely impossible to succeed!"
Nangong Shoucheng and Beitang Kong confidently said.
They had been immersed in the art of alchemy for a hundred years. Xiao Yi, even if he had started alchemy from the womb, had only been at it for twenty years. How could he succeed with the difficulty increased by dozens of times when they themselves could not?
Just as everyone was full of doubt and surprise, Xiao Yi turned around and looked at them, "Have you ever witnessed single-finger alchemy?"
"Ah?"
"What, what is single-finger alchemy?" The crowd was baffled.
Xiao Yi's mouth curved slightly upwards, with a playful arc, "Open your eyes wide and watch carefully, the moment of witnessing a miracle has arrived!"
