Chapter 1991 - 1994: If You're a Dragon, You Have to Coil for Me
"Top grade!" Heaven's favored son Chu Xiaotian stared in shock at Shen Qiang, who wore a faint, calm smile, and the peerlessly beautiful Fairy Qin Yurou sitting obediently at his side, waves surging wildly in his heart."The moment the tea entered my mouth, a light, elegant fragrance burst out like a spring of sweet dew, instantly washing away every trace of flavor left by all the food I've eaten these past days. Fresh, natural—taste buds that had been tormented numb by those banquets suddenly came back to life."
"The delicate fragrance of the tea then seeped into my heart and spleen. In an instant, all my worries seemed to disappear; all that remained was that graceful tea aroma, softly recounting itself like a calm, beautiful woman."
Chu Xiaotian's expression was intoxicated.
This left the other Alchemists beside him dumbfounded.
"What the hell? Chu Xiaotian, we agreed, even if it really was good tea, you still had to call it trash, remember! What's with that totally drunk look on your face?"
"Holy crap, is the tea Shen Qiang's drinking really that insane? The way those Sect Leaders were so polite earlier, I thought they were just deliberately hyping Shen Qiang. No matter how good tea is, it's still just tea. Chu Xiaotian is at least a heaven's favored son, right? What's with this intoxicated face—has he gone crazy?"
"It's over, this is bad. Just by looking at the way he is the moment this Immortal Tea hit his mouth, you can tell something's wrong!"
While those Alchemists were getting nervous.
The other Cultivators were all wide‑eyed in shock.
"Whoa, unbelievable. Just from Chu Xiaotian's expression, this Lingxiao Silver Bud is definitely living up to its reputation and then some."
"Compared to Shen Qiang, this guy Chu Xiaotian really hasn't seen the world. Look at how he drinks tea—his little expression is exactly like Bajie eating Ginsengfruit for the first time."
"Heh heh! I know with my status and ability I'll probably never get to drink this Lingxiao Silver Bud in my life, but Chu Xiaotian's expression is too goofy. Even when Shen Qiang refined an Immortal Pill, I didn't see him like this."
Amid everyone's speculation, Shen Qiang waited a moment, until the extremely reluctant Chu Xiaotian had, bit by bit, drop by drop, finished the already meager tea. Then Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Chu Xiaotian, in the Alchemist circle they all call you heaven's favored son. Judging by your character, you shouldn't lie about this kind of thing."
"So I think after drinking this tea, you can give your opinion now. You tell me: compared with the Lingyun Bai Hao you've had, is there a difference? How big is it?"
Hearing Shen Qiang's words, heaven's favored son Chu Xiaotian stared at him in utter shock for a long time before finally sighing and saying to the many Alchemists at his side, "Sorry, brothers. If this tea were only a bit better than Lingyun Bai Hao, I wouldn't hesitate to call it trash and unworthy of its name."
"But the truth is, there's simply no way to compare. If our Lingyun Bai Hao is a bicycle, then this Lingxiao Silver Bud that Shen Qiang is drinking is a plane. If the tea we drink is a little creek, then the tea he's drinking is the starry sky itself."
"So I'm sorry, I concede defeat. It really is I, Chu Xiaotian, who is ignorant and short‑sighted, a frog at the bottom of a well. The tea Shen Qiang drinks is already an Exotic Treasure, surpassing Lingyun Bai Hao by several centuries. So I take back what I said. Shen Medicine King really is far above me—not just by one level. Be it in Cultivation, Elixir Pills, Medical Skill, or even in the tea he drinks, there is simply no way for Chu Xiaotian to compare with him."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Qiang in shock, lowering their voices and whispering among themselves.
"My god, the gap is that big? Top‑grade Lingyun Bai Hao is already incredibly hard to get. To me, it's the kind of thing I'd never be willing to drink casually. But Shen Qiang? Immortal Tea! Lingxiao Silver Bud! And as long as he comes to Medicine King Valley, he can drink it anytime he wants!"
"Can this monster Shen Qiang leave us any way to live? I can't refine Elixir Pills, my Cultivation is pretty trash. I originally thought, sure, I can't compare to Shen Qiang in other areas, but at least when it comes to drinking tea, it should be the same. Now it looks like that's not the case at all. The tea Shen Qiang casually drinks is probably something I can never even dream of my whole life!"
"Sigh, I suddenly feel a bit sorry for Chu Xiaotian. He's clearly a heaven's favored son, but in front of this monster Shen Qiang, he's been made to look like an idiot. At this rate, within three years tops, there probably won't be anyone in the whole Cultivation World who can stand in front of him."
While everyone was inwardly stirred and full of shock.
Shen Qiang smiled faintly and said, "So, I've helped broaden your horizons too, haven't I?"
Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian sighed, then said, "Yes. Thank you, Shen Medicine King, for opening my eyes."
Seeing the previously arrogant and overbearing heaven's favored son Chu Xiaotian being straightened out by Shen Qiang until he was utterly obedient, not daring to say a single extra word, everyone couldn't help but snicker.
"Serves him right! He'd barely finished showing off before getting struck by lightning. And on top of that, he had to admit it himself—this hit is just way too direct!"
"He was just bragging at the top of his lungs about how he's stronger than Shen Qiang, he's on the Alchemist Top‑100 list, Shen Qiang is nothing, he's from some prestigious clan and Shen Qiang is nothing, and he even wanted to steal Qin Yurou from him. Now, haha, not only has Shen Qiang become the Medicine King, he's even broadened his horizons. Chu Xiaotian's face has been completely lost."
"Karma, pure karma. Chu Xiaotian always looks down his nose at people; when he walks past me he literally looks at me with his nostrils. He doesn't accept anyone. Now he's dumbfounded, isn't he? Once my Great Demon King Shen Qiang shows up, dragons have to coil up for him, tigers have to lie down for him!"
Compared to the snickering at the scene, the folks in the livestream chat were far more straightforward and brutal.
"Ha! Trying to steal the spotlight from Lord Qiang and snatch the peerless Fairy Qin Yurou? Chu Xiaotian isn't just overthinking it, he's in another universe. You don't even need Martial Arts—just Medical Skill, Elixir Pills, and status are enough to crush him into slag!"
"Haha, I knew it. Anyone who goes against my King never has a good end."
"Serves him right, seriously. Of all the people to pretend in front of, he just had to pick Shen Qiang. Look at him now, all tamed. When my King marches out, it's scorched earth wherever he passes!"
"Ahahaha, my King is mighty, blessed like an immortal, and will live as long as heaven itself!"
Amid the cheerful atmosphere, the violet‑clad Pan Meiqing, Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei, the perky young girl A'Bi, the voluptuous and enchanting Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, the charming and lovable Ye Guyun, and the peerless Fairy Qin Yurou all looked at Shen Qiang with eyes curved in laughter.
"This bad guy really never lets go once he's got the upper hand!"
"So handsome. He just had to question Chu Xiaotian in public—if he didn't, that guy would still be secretly feeling pleased with himself, calling Shen Qiang stupid."
"Hmph, see that? This is the man I've got my eye on—this is how strong he is!"
Amid the girls' pride and satisfaction, Shen Qiang smiled. "Alright then, Chu Xiaotian, now that I've broadened your horizons and you've got no more doubts, you can sit down. Remember to report to Heshenghe within a week. For the next ten years, you just behave yourself and do Alchemy for me."
Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian, whose heart was already a wasteland of despair, sighed once, then bowed respectfully and said, "I obey the Medicine King's command!"
