Chapter 1990 - 1993: Virtue Can Win People Over—The Only Ones Who Refuse Are the Dead
Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, the charming Baihua Palace Master, Weisheng Zhimei, looked at Shen Qiang with a coquettish smile and whispered telepathically, "You sly guy, you make it sound so generous, but if you were really so willing, why not share it with them directly?""Why not let Sister Qin Yurou pour them tea? Isn't it because you feel a bit guilty, so you had Medicine King Valley arrange people, and after the tea is poured, you add water to give to others."
Shen Qiang smiled, his eyes curved, and said, "Selfless giving is for saints, but I'm not at that level, can't compare with saints. But you, talking so much, are being a bit naughty."
The charming Baihua Palace Master laughed enchantingly, her gaze towards Shen Qiang filled with even more admiration.
Her heart was a mixture of emotions.
"Shen Qiang has grown so fast. If he hadn't brought out the remaining Lingxiao Silver Bud to share with others, it would be understandable, but the people present would feel awkward, as they are all leaders in their own right."
"More so, as the host of Medicine King Valley, Qin Yongquan would be in a difficult situation. To switch everything to Lingxiao Silver Bud was clearly impossible. Not doing so would make the many sect leaders feel neglected, but now, all issues are resolved easily, and with Shen Qiang giving face like this, people can't help but appreciate it."
Thinking of this, the beautiful Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei could clearly hear that the atmosphere on the stage had heated up.
"Thank you, Shen Medicine King! Indeed, a hero emerges from the young, such temperament, such magnanimity, truly beyond ordinary people's reach!"
"Unrivaled in righteousness, Shen Medicine King, if not for your blessing, who knows if I would ever have the chance to taste this Lingxiao Silver Bud in my lifetime."
"This is truly wonderful, thank you for the Immortal Tea, Shen Medicine King."
Voices like these filled the air, and not only the sect leaders on the stage were full of gratitude towards Shen Qiang for not making things awkward, but many cultivators below also looked up to Shen Qiang with newfound respect.
"As expected of Medicine King, so well-rounded in both conduct and behavior. Although we ordinary disciples didn't get to drink this Immortal Tea, our sect leaders did, which gives us face."
"Yes, Shen Medicine King is indeed considerate. I was worried that he would be selfish and give no one a taste. That would be not only petty but also embarrassing for our sect leaders. To my surprise, being in such a high position, he is so understanding, truly worthy of our respect and awe."
"Indeed, look at Shen Qiang, already at this level of prominence, yet unlike Chu Xiaotian, not arrogant. Compared to him, Shen Medicine King is the true prodigy!"
Not only were many cultivators present very satisfied with this, but even those cultivators, who had been angrily watching in the online live stream, gradually calmed down.
"Bai Shiyi, Pan Zheng, people from the Xu Family, and Yu Xinghuo and that master are elders, Ji Liangchuan is Shen Qiang's friend, having Fairy Qin pour them a cup of tea is not a big deal. Seeing that later he had people from Medicine King Valley serve tea to others on their own, and did not again order my fairy to serve, I won't curse him."
"Hmm, it's good that Shen Qiang this bastard finally found some conscience, given that he didn't embarrass my fairy, I'll let him off for now with my generosity!"
"That's right, my goddess, pouring you a cup is enough face. If you had ordered her to serve everyone, it would have been too much. Seeing that you still have some sense, I'll put down my forty-meter-long knife for now."
Such a scenario, everyone was delighted.
Those who tasted the Immortal Tea were full of praise, and those cultivators who didn't, because their sect leaders were on the stage supporting them, also felt proud and content.
Only Chu Xiaotian, leading many alchemists, had a face that looked extremely unpleasant because, at this time, the words of praise from many laughing sect leaders were like sharp knives stabbing at them.
"Not only is it good tea, but let me be bold and say, looking around the world, there can't be better tea. So I'm especially grateful to Shen Medicine King and particularly respect him. If not for him, where would we get to taste such Immortal Tea?"
Upon hearing this, the Medicine King Valley Master Qin Yongquan interjected without feeling awkward: "Indeed, this tea produces less than seven qian in good years, and only a few pieces in bad years. So including myself, I owe it all to Shen Qiang. After all, if not for him, even I wouldn't have the ability to get a piece of Lingxiao Silver Bud from my master-granduncle."
These words made the many sect leaders even more excited.
"That's right, that's right, ah haha, thank you, Shen Medicine King, such a wonderful Immortal Tea, truly a rare treasure."
"I'm not very knowledgeable about tea, but compared to this Immortal Tea, even the top-grade Lingyun Bai Hao pales too much in comparison, it's utterly bland to the extreme."
"Indeed, there's no comparing people to people or goods to goods. Previously, I thought Lingyun Bai Hao was the best in the world. I never expected that after tasting this Immortal Tea, I couldn't even swallow Lingyun Bai Hao."
The praises of the many sect leaders left the prodigy Chu Xiaotian with no choice but to remain silent.
But at this moment, at Shen Qiang's signal, the lively young girl Abi placed a cup with only a little tea on Chu Xiaotian's table.
And at the same time, everyone present clearly heard Shen Qiang's calm voice: "Chu Xiaotian, you previously kept saying this Immortal Tea is not much better than Lingyun Bai Hao and wanted me to broaden your horizons. No problem."
"I, Shen Qiang, always win over others with virtue. You've already lost; for the next ten years, Heshenghe will be your second home. So, I can't stand your lack of understanding. Now, I'll give you a chance to taste this Immortal Tea for yourself, then I hope you can honestly express your feelings here."
Hearing this, not only did Medicine King Valley Master Qin Yongquan's eyes instantly light up, but the beautiful Fairy Qin Yurou also instantly rejoiced, looking at Shen Qiang with shy admiration, her demeanor showing a bit more reliance.
"Shen Qiang, you're amazing, are you standing up for me? Truly a dependable man!"
As Fairy Qin Yurou's beautiful eyes shyly gazed at Shen Qiang, all other cultivators at the scene turned their attention to Chu Xiaotian.
This left the prodigy Chu Xiaotian with an expression of extreme displeasure.
Meanwhile, those nearby all had a knowing smile.
"Serves him right. What level is Shen Qiang, the Shen Medicine King, at now? And you still dare challenge him? Truly deserved to be embarrassed."
"Indeed, doing nothing and seeking nothing, you want to see the world? Shen Qiang will satisfy him."
In the eyes of those watching the show, while pondering whether this Lingxiao Silver Bud was supreme, Chu Xiaotian, who intended to call it trash no matter what, stood up coldly with a face and said, "Fine, I'll drink this tea!"
With that, he lifted the cup and downed the small amount of tea in one gulp.
But the moment the tea entered his mouth, not only did he tremble, but his expression changed instantly.
