Chapter 1675 - 1678: The Medicine King Valley Master Secretly Observes His Daughter's Boyfriend
"Isn't that fine?" Wenren Meiqiao smiled alluringly, kissed Shen Qiang's cheek lightly, then gracefully rose to her feet. As she put on her shirt and lifted her long black hair from within the collar using both hands, even Shen Qiang, who was accustomed to beauty, couldn't help but admire her.Her lovely face, the snow-white long legs under the baggy shirt, slightly shy yet smiling confidently—she no longer resembled the fearsome double-bladed female demon of the Dragon Group known across the Cultivation World, but rather a bashful new bride.
Watching Wenren Meiqiao enter the bathroom to freshen up, Shen Qiang lay on the bed, inhaling the lingering jasmine scent in the room, and earnestly opened his phone.
"Not only must we go to the Elixir Pills Conference, it seems we must win. Since there's no way out now, preparation must be made in advance. It's time to gather some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
Meanwhile, as Shen Qiang opened the phone and browsed the exotic treasures in the Dragon Group Mall.
In Medicine King Valley, in a spacious office, the Valley Master smiled at the Dragon Group officer sitting on the sofa and calmly said, "Medicine King Valley will never shelter or condone any disciple's misbehavior, but regarding Zong Zijin's actions, examining the essence, he killed Xu Tianyu, thus saving Shen Qiang as well."
The Dragon Group officer chuckled, "Valley Master, you're a big figure, holding an extraordinary status in the Cultivation World, so I won't bother with polite words. The situation now is with irrefutable evidence, and Zong Zijin is in our hands. So, we simply wish to ask for your opinion."
"Severe punishment! It must be severe!" The Valley Master earnestly stated, "We must not indulge or make allowances, sentence him to life imprisonment, never to be released, and we'll keep him locked in Medicine King Valley's dungeon, never letting him out."
The Dragon Group officer smiled, "Oh, your idea is to send Zong Zijin back for strict discipline by you? This matter is quite arduous, but currently, the fact Zong Zijin is Medicine King Valley's top disciple isn't widely known, so if the Valley Master is willing to push a bit, it might work."
Laughing, the Valley Master sighed and said, "Tell me what it is you want."
"Fifty sets of Spirit Hidden Suhe Fragrance—I know it's something only Medicine King Valley possesses. With it, Yang God Realm cultivators entering the Mixed Element Realm becomes easy." The Dragon Group officer grinned, "As for Zong Zijin, the idea from above surely is to deal with him as deemed fit, but as it stands, I'm in charge, and I'm more focused on interests."
"So if Medicine King Valley offers fifty sets of Spirit Hidden Suhe Fragrance to assist Dragon Group, adding fifty Mixed Element Realm elite agents, I'd be willing to use this position to send Zong Zijin back."
Upon hearing this, the Valley Master grinned, "I understand, you're a good person. You wish for the Dragon Group members to be stronger, more intimidating. Since Zong Zijin was killed, the dead Xu Tianyu won't be resurrected, but a Dragon Group with fifty additional elite can save more people, so I fundamentally agree with this solution."
The officer's eyes brightened, yet amidst the flash of joy, the Valley Master turned the conversation, "But unfortunately, the Spirit Hidden Suhe Fragrance, coming from our legendary Elder, the Old Tree Immortal Zuo Tong, is something I can't request him to do anything about, frankly speaking. Among Zong Zijin's generation of Medicine King Valley disciples, those who obtained Spirit Hidden Suhe Fragrance are just three."
"Zong Zijin is one of them, that was after my persistent pleading for a long time to get it." The Valley Master raised an eyebrow, "And it's only the size of a soybean, barely enough for one person to use."
The Dragon Group officer was dumbfounded, then exclaimed with a smile, "What I heard isn't this. I learned your daughter Qin Yurou gave Shen Qiang a substantial piece of Spirit Hidden Suhe Fragrance, as big as an egg, and Shen Qiang then entered the Mixed Element Realm. The correlation is evident."
"It's nonexistent, not to mention fifty sets of Spirit Hidden Suhe Fragrance, I can't even provide one person's set." The Valley Master said, "How about I give you a Shattering Star Pill instead? It equally allows Yang God Realm cultivators to enter Mixed Element Realm, with the only drawback being those who enter the Mixed Element Realm using a Shattering Star Pill lose any chance of reaching Dao Fruit Stage."
The Dragon Group officer was silent for a moment, then smiled, "I'll go all in for fifty Shattering Star Pills, even if it means losing my job and ending up in jail, it'd be worth it."
The Valley Master laughed, shaking his head, "One!"
The officer's companion immediately stood up, "Colonel, let's go, he isn't sincere at all. Before we came, Zong Zijin spoke clearly that the Old Tree Immortal is most fond of Qin Yurou, as long as she speaks up, he can grant any request, not to mention fifty sets of Spirit Hidden Suhe Fragrance, even a hundred sets isn't a problem."
Upon hearing this, the Valley Master's face turned dangerously dark, "Three Shattering Star Pills!"
The officer grinned, "Valley Master should know, Dragon Group's higher-ups care little about these things. But small players like me aim to gain maximum benefits for Dragon Group by appearing a bit greedy. Fifty pills, you can think slowly, if you refuse, I will frankly tell Zong Zijin my needs, perhaps he'd agree to refine fifty Shattering Star Pills for us."
With a serious demeanor, the Valley Master nodded, "Good idea, maybe he'll oblige. See them out!"
As the Valley Master spoke, an individual appearing as a steward entered, smiling and signaling the two from Dragon Group to leave with him.
Leaving his business card on the table, the Dragon Group officer smiled, "If the Valley Master changes your mind, contact me anytime."
Saying that, he stood up and left with his companion.
Once they were gone, the hidden door in the office corner opened, and three Elders emerged.
"Valley Master, you must never trust the statement about Spirit Hidden Suhe Fragrance. It's Zong Zijin who said it, he'd never reveal Medicine King Valley's secrets to outsiders." The distressed Second Elder said.
The Valley Master, with a grim expression, calmly replied, "You're wrong, he certainly said it. You know who Zong Zijin is better than I do. Although Spirit Hidden Suhe Fragrance is a rare exotic treasure, not everyone knows about it."
"If Zong Zijin hadn't spoken, do you think Dragon Group would dispatch an elixir-skilled cultivator to keep a 24-hour watch on Shen Qiang?"
The Second Elder immediately fell silent.
"Alas, how could Zong Zijin speak such things? Spirit Hidden Suhe Fragrance is scarcely recognized even by Valley's disciples, so the Valley Master is right; surely Zong Zijin said it." The Great Elder sighed, "Therefore, Valley Master, find a way to bring him out soon, otherwise, Dragon Group might fully understand the little matters within the Valley."
Upon hearing this, the Valley Master turned his chair towards the window, gazing at the flower garden outside, where school flower Qin Yurou laughed merrily conversing with Abi. He smiled and said, "I'm willing to bet for my daughter if Shen Qiang is capable, he'll deploy thunderous means to eradicate Zong Zijin while his wings aren't yet matured, giving Zong Zijin no chance to plot against him further, entrusting my daughter to him would be thought-free."
"If Shen Qiang is merely a self-complacent man with no great ambitions, proud and puffed-up, he will disregard it, arrogantly waiting for Zong Zijin's release. Such a man is unworthy of becoming my son-in-law or possessing my daughter."
