Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1976 - 1979: A Golden Scale Is Never Meant for a Pond

Upon hearing Qin Yongquan, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, announce the result, the Baihua Palace Master, Weisheng Zhimei, who was stunningly beautiful, couldn't help but reveal a smile that said, "I already knew this would happen." Her charming face and proud expression for Shen Qiang made her look captivating.Not only that, the many cultivators present, upon hearing this conclusion, were instantly fired up.

"Incredible! As expected of the Medicine King! A furnace with 131 types of Elixir Pills, each at the Divine Grade; this strength is off the charts!"

"Stronger than imagination, indeed the words of the sect ancestor were true—everyone has their areas of outstanding ability. Before, I always thought Shen Qiang's most outstanding ability was making demons bow down, but who would have thought his true strength lies in Elixirs!"

"It's so shocking. The saying 'hidden dragons and crouching tigers' in the cultivation world is not an exaggeration at all. If not for the Elixir Pills conference, how could we have known that Shen Qiang's alchemy skills were this strong!"

As thousands of cultivators were shocked, the many alchemists sitting in the relatively front rows were silent.

If it were on a regular day, they would surely start mocking if one or two people lost in Dan Fighting. However, now, 131 alchemists have lost to Shen Qiang, meaning they will have to work for Heshenghe for free for ten years.

Among these people, not only was there an alchemist ranked twenty-first on the alchemist top 100 list—a super first-class alchemist—but also the so-called favored by the heavens, Chu Xiaotian.

This means that from today onward, the alchemists of Heshenghe will no longer be one person.

Thus, all kinds of Elixir Pills will surely emerge in an endless stream. In such circumstances, given the numerous Heshenghe Pill Alliance, the overall number of alchemists Shen Qiang can command will reach a terrifying figure, almost amounting to nearly half of the cultivation world's alchemists having to listen to Shen Qiang.

This strength is not something any sect can contend with.

Nor is it something anyone would dare to casually criticize.

Because that would mean angering the collective group of alchemists from half the cultivation world.

"Shen Qiang's Elixirs are all Divine Grade, and he can even refine Immortal Pills. Although I've lost and need to work for him for ten years, it's not a loss. With my expertise, training hard for ten years at Heshenghe may not be without advancement," said the twenty-first-ranked super first-class alchemist, putting on a brave face.

Chu Xiaotian hesitated and then said, "Although I am favored by the heavens, I am not the Medicine King, so I've lost. Losing to Shen Qiang isn't disgraceful, and enduring hardship might not be a bad thing. I might not be as strong as he is now, but in ten years, who knows."

While saying something he himself didn't even believe in, Chu Xiaotian forced out a dry laugh.

Other alchemists also chimed in:

"Indeed, being able to work for the Medicine King is an honor; other alchemists want to do that but can't."

"That's right, Shen Qiang is the Medicine King. A few pointers from him might help avoid countless detours, so this is a good thing, absolutely a good thing."

"Ah, losing to Shen Qiang and working for him for ten years for free is quite fortunate."

The losing alchemists all looked worse than the other. After all, they held a prestigious status in the cultivation world, but now, out of the blue, they had turned from respected alchemists into laborers working for free for Heshenghe. Who would believe if they said it didn't hurt!

But pain aside, glancing at Ji Wei and a big swordsman watching them intently, not a single thought of going back on their word dared cross their minds.

"Alright, everyone can leave and act freely, but you must report to Heshenghe within a week, otherwise, our boss will be very angry, and the consequences will be severe, because he said before leaving, 'No living person in this world can owe him a debt.'" Ke Bizhu said with a vibrant smile.

But those words sent a chill down the alchemists' spines.

After all, besides being the Medicine King, Shen Qiang is also a big boss of Heshenghe, the cultivation world's unique King of Demons. Now, even a top-tier cultivation sect like Qingyun Sword Pavilion has announced its merger with Heshenghe; owing Shen Qiang a debt would mean not being able to stand in the cultivation world at all.

"Sigh... a wager is a wager, there's nothing more to say!" Chu Xiaotian sighed and turned to leave the gym.

The other alchemists couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh as they followed the many cultivators out.

Meanwhile, the online livestream room was buzzing with excitement.

"Oh my god, this favored by the heavens, Chu Xiaotian, was so high-spirited before, looking arrogant. Now seeing his back, it's like he aged twenty years in an instant!"

"How tragic, so many alchemists, not short of renowned figures among them, joined hands to fight Shen Qiang in Dan Fighting and ended up in this situation; it's truly pitiful."

"Sigh, they brought this upon themselves."

Apart from those lamenting for them, more cultivators were filled with high spirits.

"Your Majesty is magnificent! This is exhilarating, incredibly awesome! Against the challenge of 131 alchemists, Your Majesty just waved his hand and won against them. Hmph, let's see who dares to say my king is not capable from now on!"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Didn't this Chu Xiaotian act all high and mighty before? Why isn't he saying anything now? Where's his big mouth? Wasn't he acting all high and mighty? He said something to Strong Grandpa before about being from a famous family and that Strong Grandpa was nothing. Now he's speechless!"

"I'm dying of laughter, did they think taking Strong Grandpa's money would be so easy? They should've thought it through, losing is well deserved!"

"Before, the sect leader saw my parents and me kneeling in front of the computer and was very displeased, scolding us for disgracing the sect's tradition. Now, the sect leader and everyone in the sect kneels behind us, shouting, 'Shen Medicine King, may your immortal bliss be everlasting, and may you live as long as the heavens!'"

Cultivators who saw the result of the Dan Fighting conference dispersed, some laughed, some cried, while Shen Qiang's popularity undoubtedly reached its peak at this moment.

Throughout the cultivation world, except for those on missions or in secluded training, almost no one wasn't talking about Shen Qiang.

"Hmph, heroes don't ask about origin. When Shen Qiang just emerged in the cultivation world, I thought he had a dignified appearance and was not one to remain in obscurity. See, now he's become the Medicine King!"

"Can a king or general not come from noble birth? The words of our ancestors are absolutely right. Look at Shen Qiang, a loose cultivator with ordinary parents; the people in the cultivation world always looked down on him, thinking he got by on demons and looks. Now see the strength he possesses, he can practically pierce the heavens with a lift of his hand!"

"Throughout the history of the cultivation world, the founders of major sects, which one of them wasn't a self-made hero? Hmph, these people in the cultivation world keep picking on this and that about Shen Qiang. Now, in the blink of an eye, this Shen Qiang, Shen Medicine King, has become an existence they can hardly even aspire to!"
