Chapter 186 His Name is Xiao Yi!
Chapter 186 His Name is Xiao Yi!
```
"Let me try."
Xiao Yi sighed and stepped forward.
The previous attitude of Chen Fu and the other had made him not want to meddle.
However...
If the Four Symbols Legion were to develop smoothly, they still needed the massive resources of the Treasure Pavilion, so helping now would make future transactions much easier.
Chen Yu was taken aback, then angrily said, "Boy, do you even understand alchemy? The situation is completely out of control, and there's no way to save it now. If you mess around and it causes a huge explosion, the backlash of the earth fire could turn the entire capital into a sea of fire. Can you bear the consequences?"
Xiao Yi frowned and gave him a cold look, causing Chen Yu to tremble all over as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, swallowing the words he was about to say.
Xiao Yi's face was indifferent, "Keep whining, and I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"You..."
Chen Yu shuddered, his face turned pale, feeling as if Xiao Yi had turned into a terrifying beast that left him without the courage to speak.
Xiao Yi looked at Chen Fu, "Let me try."
Chen Fu's expression changed rapidly, but he was out of options and could only respond with a wry smile, "We are grateful for your assistance, Xiao."
"Hmm."
Xiao Yi nodded slightly and casually walked up to the alchemy furnace.
Boom, boom, boom!
The earth fire boiled, fiery columns shot into the sky, and the terrifying waves of fire seemed as if they could engulf everything.
The crimson glow of the flames reflected on his face.
Chen Yu sneered repeatedly, "Elder Yan, is your friend out of his mind? With the earth fire out of control, even my master can't handle it. Who does he think he is?"
Elder Yan gave him a look and watched Xiao Yi anxiously.
Just then...
Xiao Yi suddenly extended his palm into the blazing flames.
Chen Yu's face showed an even more mocking expression, "Has this guy gone mad? That's earth fire! Even the vital energy of someone in the Golden Core Realm can't withstand the high temperature of the earth fire. Is he planning to perish with it?"
However.
As Xiao Yi's hand entered the flames, the raging fire that boiled ceaselessly seemed to meet its natural enemy and avoided him. Continue your adventure with empire
His hands moved to the left and right, forcibly tearing a gap in the wall of flames that had converged in front of him.
He wasn't harmed in the slightest!
"What?"
Chen Yu was dumbfounded, "This is impossible..."
That was earth fire!
The vital energy of someone in the Golden Core Realm would be instantly incinerated, yet Xiao Yi could tear apart the earth fire with his bare hands?
Chen Fu was also deeply shocked, "Incredible, absolutely incredible!"
Elder Yan's face showed excitement, and he smiled proudly, "I've always said Xiao could do anything, now do you believe me?"
Chen Fu nodded in astonishment.
Chen Yu, clenching his fists tightly and unwilling to accept defeat, said, "Hmph, this only shows that his vital energy is strong, it proves nothing else."
"Open!"
Xiao Yi uttered a light shout.
Vital energy burst out from around him, completely tearing apart a fire column tens of meters high while pushing forward with one hand. His left hand grabbed the red-hot pill furnace, and amidst a series of harsh sounds, a puff of black smoke rose up, and Xiao Yi forcefully lifted the furnace.
Sss!
Chen Fu and the others were stunned, completely dumbfounded.
This alchemy furnace weighed tens of thousands of pounds.
It was burning hot, and Xiao Yi lifted it with one hand?
Xiao Yi held the alchemy furnace aloft with his right hand while pushing forward with his left, vital energy gushing wildly from his palm, coalescing into a column of energy, and suddenly crashing down towards the outlet of the earth fire, "Seal!"
Boom!
The column of vital energy smashed down, blocking the earth fire outlet with a bang.
At the same time, the energy column dispersed, its pure energy seeping into the broken Earth Fire Array, causing the fearsome flames to dissipate into the air.
Thud!
Xiao Yi set the alchemy furnace to one side, dusted his hands, and looked at Chen Fu with a smile, "It's just that the Earth Fire Array is worn out after years and your use of it for too long this time caused it to break. I've sealed the array; now, as long as someone repairs it, there'll be no more problems!"
"Thank you, Xiao, for saving our lives!" Chen Fu, finally recovering, said with a serious expression.
Xiao Yi waved his hand dismissively, "It was nothing."
"Hmph, he's just relying on his great strength..." Chen Yu muttered unconvincedly.
"Shut up!"
Chen Fu gave him a stern look and scolded, "Aren't you going to apologize to Xiao?"
"Apologize? What did I say that was wrong..."
Chen Yu stiffened his neck, "He previously said my master made a mistake during the alchemy process, just showing off. It was just luck that he encountered a broken earth fire array, and he's only relying on his strong cultivation. What did I say wrong?"
```
"Xiao, this boy has been spoiled by me, please forgive him!"
Chen Fu said with a bitter smile as he clasped his hands towards Xiao Yi, but in his heart, he agreed with Chen Yu's view, regretfully looking at the pill furnace covered in cracks, "It's just a pity for this batch of pills, it was only one step away from success, but now all efforts have been in vain..."
"It doesn't matter, it was just that the temperature was too high during the solidifying pill process. All you need to do is add a measure of Frost Condensing Herb!" Xiao Yi said from the side.
Chen Fu was startled: "Frost Condensing Herb?"
Chen Yu folded his arms across his chest, full of sarcasm: "Sure enough, a layman. Do you even understand alchemy? The nature of the Mysterious Yang Elixir is of yang fire, while the Frost Condensing Herb is a medicinal herb with yin cold properties. If these two are combined, it will lead to a chaos in the medicinal properties and turn directly into a poison pill. And you're saying to add Frost Condensing Herb?"
Chen Fu couldn't help but shake his head as well.
Xiao Yi smiled as he looked at the two of them: "You don't believe me?"
"Your words are nothing but nonsense, what's there to believe?" Chen Yu sneered, "My master was practicing alchemy when you didn't even know where you were!"
Chen Fu said in a deep voice: "Xiao, we still have to thank you for stepping in to help!"
"Forget it!"
Xiao Yi shook his head and sighed, "Since you don't believe, then let it be!"
He had no intention of casting pearls before swine.
However, Yan Mingli said solemnly from the side: "Elder Chen, I think you should give it a try!"
"Hmm?"
Chen Yu frowned and said, "Elder Yan, are you questioning my master?"
Chen Fu's face showed a trace of displeasure, being the number one figure in the Tianqing Kingdom's alchemy world. Seeing Yan Mingli would rather believe Xiao Yi than himself, his expression also turned somewhat unsightly.
Yan Mingli said solemnly: "Elder Chen, at this point, it's just a waste of a Frost Condensing Herb either way, why not give it a try?"
"Master, just try it as he says, lest someone remains unconvinced!" Chen Yu said in a tone tinged with sarcasm.
Chen Fu sighed: "Alright then!"
The Frost Condensing Herb wasn't a precious medicinal herb; they were stocked in the alchemy room.
The entire Frost Condensing Herb was dark green, its surface dotted with crystal-clear crystals like ice, cool to the touch. Chen Fu threw the Frost Condensing Herb into the pill furnace. At the same time, he activated the Condensing Elixir Art, with qi converging inside the pill furnace. After a while, the pill furnace stopped trembling, clearly indicating the end of the pill condensing.
Chen Fu could not be bothered to look at the 'poison pills' and sighed: "Chen Yu, go and take out the pills."
"Yes!"
Chen Yu looked at Xiao Yi triumphantly, "Let's see what you have to say now!"
Thud!
Chen Yu lifted the lid of the pill furnace.
However…
The moment the pill furnace was uncovered, the smug look on Chen Yu's face disappeared: "This, this is impossible..."
A rich fragrance of medicine pervaded the entire alchemy room.
Chen Fu's eyes widened: "This, this is..."
He pulled Chen Yu aside and took out the three pills from the pill furnace.
The pills were entirely red, and they felt warm in the hand.
"This, this is a Mysterious Yang Elixir? Moreover, a top-quality Mysterious Yang Elixir? How is this possible..." Chen Fu was utterly dumbfounded.
Top-quality indeed!
Normally, only a second-grade middle-level alchemist could refine pills of this quality.
This was clearly supposed to be just a batch of waste pills!
How could it be that simply by adding a stalk of Frost Condensing Herb, not only was the situation turned around from waste to treasure, but it even became top-quality?
"Top-quality?"
Chen Yu was also shocked, disbelievingly staring at the pills in Chen Fu's hand, his face turning alternately pale and flushed as if he had just been viciously slapped dozens of times.
Yan Mingli laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Elder Chen, Xiao hasn't let you down, has he!"
"It's not just about not being let down, it's simply a miracle! Indeed, there are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens. Chen admits to not recognizing the greatness in front of him!"
Chen Fu shook his head self-deprecatingly and clasped his hands towards Xiao Yi, "Xiao, I hope you can forgive my shortsightedness!"
Yan Mingli said leisurely: "I do remember someone saying that if one really turns waste into treasure, they're willing to unscrew their head and use it as a night pot!"
"I..."
Chen Yu's face turned ashen as he knelt on the ground, his neck stiff, "Xiao, please take my head!"
"Get up. Elder Yan was merely joking, no need for such extreme measures!"
Xiao Yi laughed heartily as he looked at Chen Fu, "Elder Chen, I have a matter to discuss with you!"
"Xiao, please speak!"
Chen Fu bowed.
Chen Yu looked at the disappearing backs of the two, turning towards Yan Mingli. "Elder Yan, who exactly is he?"
Yan Mingli looked at him with an odd expression and said indifferently: "His name is Xiao Yi!"
"Xiao Yi?"
Chen Yu was stunned, his face suddenly changing, incredulous, "He, he, he... the Guardian Martial God?"
