บท 47: Chapter 47: Shock
The members of the Xiao family were even more shocked upon hearing these words, their breaths becoming somewhat heavy. One intense gaze after another was fixated on the over a hundred small jade bottles on the table.
This kind of large-scale production of pills was something that the people present had never personally witnessed.
So many pills, with such a variety... this was simply astonishing!
No one from the Xiao family present was unmoved.
They were well aware of just how terrifying a fortune this represented.
If these pills entered the market, they would undoubtedly cause a sensation.
If their Xiao family were truly responsible for selling these...
Their Xiao family would really hit it big!
The income from selling the pills wasn't the only perk; there were also many intangible benefits, such as influence, popularity, and reputation.
Manager Xiao Feng, who brought Wei Yang to the Xiao family, was so shocked he couldn't speak for a long time.
Initially, he thought that at most, this Physician Wei might produce some semi-finished medicinal powders.
Some experienced physicians or apprentice alchemists could also produce semi-finished medicinal powders, though the quality was varied.
Only a true first-tier alchemist could produce pills.
And they were the ones who produced fully-formed pills.
But now, Wei Yang not only brought out first-tier pills, but also a large batch?!
Gulping sounds quietly arose around.
...
"So? This deal?" Wei Yang asked.
"No problem!" The Great Elder immediately spoke excitedly.
"Yes, Physician Wei, rest assured. With the Xiao family in charge of selling these pills, there will be no issues. We have the capability to sell them for a price that will satisfy you!" The Second Elder also quickly said.
"Indeed, Physician Wei, you can trust our Xiao family's reputation." said the Third Elder.
Xiao Zhan took a deep breath, calming himself, and earnestly nodded to Wei Yang with a promise, "Rest assured, Physician Wei, since you've chosen to cooperate with our Xiao family, we will not disappoint you!"
Wei Yang waved his hand, "That's a minor thing. As for the pricing, you all make the call. For now, first check these pills, and if there are no issues, we can discuss other matters."
"Yes, yes, let's check them first." The Great Elder nodded repeatedly and then respectfully said to Wei Yang, "Of course, Physician Wei, don't misunderstand us; it's just the procedure..."
"Understood, go ahead and check." Wei Yang gestured.
"Alright, Physician Wei, please wait a moment." Xiao Zhan said.
After speaking, Xiao Zhan, along with the three elders and a few Xiao family elders, began the inspection themselves.
One of the Xiao family elders carefully picked up a jade bottle, his hand trembled slightly from excitement as he gently opened the lid.
Immediately, the faint medicinal fragrance in the air became a bit more intense.
Just by smelling the fragrance, it could be determined that the quality of this pill was not low.
This scene made Xiao Zhan and the three elders secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
It appeared to be unquestionably a finished pill, and of excellent quality!
Reassured.
They finally put down the last bit of doubt in their hearts.
Then, there was endless joy.
Wei Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The once glorious Xiao family! One of the ancient eight clans, with its leader Xiao Xuan as the strongest in the continent, a half-emperor. Now, the Xiao family had fallen to such a state...
...
"This is a first-tier Qi Recovery Pill, with a rich fragrance, completely round and flawless, bright in color; this pill is of excellent quality, a superior grade!" The Great Elder carefully returned the pill into the jade bottle, praising.
"This is Blood Replenishing Powder, a first-tier pill for external use. It's extraordinarily effective for treating wounds from swords or beast bites! And the liquid is bright green and translucent, thick and gelatinous, with no impurities visible upon close inspection, richly fragrant, and of superior quality!"
Xiao Zhan, holding a bottle of thick green liquid, observed closely and praised.
"This is a first-tier Healing Pill, for internal use, capable of treating internal injuries..."
"This is a first-tier Detox Pill... superb quality!"
With each pill checked, the Xiao family members present grew more excited.
Though they were not alchemists, they had the basic ability and insight to distinguish the type and quality of pills.
All these first-tier pills were of superior quality!
At the same time, they occasionally glanced at Wei Yang with increasing respect and even a hint of flattery.
He caught a glimpse of Xiao Yan in the corner, who was dumbfounded with shock, and his mood improved.
Being able to shock the not-yet-famous Xiao Yan was a kind of achievement.
...
A good while later.
The Xiao family members had finally thoroughly inspected each pill.
Without a doubt, all one hundred sixty-three pills were first-tier, and all of superior quality!
This was incredibly terrifying.
Not even seasoned alchemists could produce a batch where every pill was of superior quality.
If these pills all were created by a single alchemist...
That alchemist would be at least second-tier!
This batch of pills was incredibly valuable!
Whew~
Xiao Zhan placed the last pill back into its jade bottle, exhaling a long breath.
He exchanged glances with the three elders and several family members, all nodding slightly, joy evident on their faces.
When Xiao Zhan turned back to Wei Yang, his demeanor had become respectful, and he cupped his hands respectfully, "Physician Wei, we have completed the inspection of this batch of pills, confirming them to be genuine first-tier pills of superior quality without any issues!"
The three elders and numerous Xiao family members watched quietly, no one daring to interrupt.
At this moment, no one was foolish enough to cause trouble, the three elders included, leaving the speaking to Xiao Zhan as the representative in talks with Wei Yang.
Privately and publicly, the three elders could distinguish between the two.
"No issues, that's good." Wei Yang nodded.
Xiao Zhan seemed to hesitate slightly, as if he wanted to say more but was holding back.
"Feel free to speak, Master Xiao." Wei Yang smiled.
"Since that's the case, forgive my boldness..." Xiao Zhan tentatively probed, "Who crafted these pills?"
"Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, Physician Wei, there's no need to say..." Xiao Zhan promptly added.
The surrounding Xiao family members also looked at Wei Yang nervously, hope hidden in their eyes.
This involved at least a second-tier alchemist, so they couldn't help but be cautious.
A second-tier alchemist was prestigious; in the entire Wu Tan City, it seemed only the Mittel Auction House had one in existence.
Among the three major families, they only had relations with first-tier alchemists, and their alchemy skills... were hard to describe.
One might say they were barely passable at best.
And even then, the relationship was purely cooperative; the alchemists could terminate the partnership if displeased.
Sometimes, when the Xiao family provided materials for an alchemist's pill-making, they had to coddle them and act according to their mood.
Failed concoctions? The Xiao family bore the cost.
Successful ones? Fifty-fifty split.
Sometimes, even providing three sets of materials might not yield one ordinary quality first-tier pill.
This showed how favored and unreasonable alchemists could be.
And now, someone had proactively approached, offering a pile of superior pills to say: Let's cooperate, sell these for me.
Such a large, favorable opportunity.
It's the kind to make someone wake up laughing from a dream!
Almost like a pie falling from the sky.
...
In response to Xiao Zhan's question, Wei Yang casually replied, "There's nothing inconvenient about it. These pills were made by me personally. Oh, and some were made by a friend of mine."
Hiss~
A collective gasp of cold air echoed once more.
Everyone looked at Wei Yang with unparalleled astonishment.
Though they had speculated as much before, they were still stunned at this moment.
Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan, the three elders, and the entire hall of Xiao family members gaped in disbelief.
Gu Xun'er, however, remained calm, as she had already guessed as much.
After all, she could sense Wei Yang's powerful soul force; it would be odd if he weren't an alchemist.
