Chapter 1748 - 1751: The Worried School Beauty, the Angry Beautiful Officer, and Excited Jinchan (5th Update)

The next day, it was already the last day for registering the elixir pills to be evaluated at the Medicine King Valley Alchemy Contest. Early in the morning, before the sunrise, the flawlessly beautiful school beauty, Qin Yurou, in a white dress with an immortal aura, had picked a whole basket of fresh flowers adorned with sparkling dew in the Medicine King Valley.Sitting in a small courtyard, organizing these delicate flowers, she seemed far less composed than usual.

"Young Master, do you have something on your mind?" asked the curious and lively girl, Abi.

Qin Yurou, with an immortal aura and incomparable beauty, was taken aback, her lovely face blushing inexplicably as she replied evasively, "I haven't been thinking about Shen Qiang."

The lively girl Abi chuckled mischievously, "Uh-huh, I know you're denying it with three hundred taels not spent here."

Only then did Qin Yurou come to her senses, her lovely face blushing deep red up to her neck, and she couldn't help but smile embarrassingly and say, "You're annoying. You spoke to me suddenly. How would I know what you're asking?"

"Besides..." Qin Yurou, with a blushing face, said anxiously, "Today is the last day to register for the alchemy contest. The results will be announced at nine o'clock this morning, yet there's still no sign from Shen Qiang. It's really frustrating."

Abi smiled with her eyes arched, saying, "I'm not worried at all. Shen Qiang is the best, he's never made a mistake, so let's wait a bit more, there shouldn't be any problem."

Qin Yurou, unparalleled in beauty in her white dress, sighed softly, "All we can do now is pray that he remembers the time. But there are already a lot of rumors over at the Inn, and I really hope my father won't be angered by it."

Just as Qin Yurou finished speaking.

Behind a specialty hotel called the Medicine King Inn in the scenic area outside Medicine King Valley.

In the quaint and charming hall, early-rising cultivation enthusiasts were having morning tea and chatting.

"Haha, previously, Shen Qiang's alchemy skills completely overwhelmed Yu Xinghuo of the Four Young Dan Green, making me see him in a new light and feel he was a talent worth cultivating. But reality is cruel; the truth is that not many of Shen Qiang's elixir pills can actually be used to treat and save lives, so up to now, his elixir pills aren't even registered. I guess Shen Qiang himself knows that even if he comes to the alchemy contest, he's certainly only good for a short visit and will be bowed out after one round."

"That's bound to be the outcome. Alchemy isn't just cooking; it really emphasizes lineage. As the saying goes, wealth is easy to acquire, but a prescription is hard to find. If Shen Qiang really had elixir pills that could save lives, he would have presented them long ago."

"Yes, after all, Shen Qiang is from the wilderness, so there's quite a gap between him and us reputable families. If his elixir pills can't save people in dire straits, they're just second-rate. So after all's said and done, the only thing Heshenghe might have that's worth evaluating is the Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment."

"Haha, if he wants to use that kind of spiritual medicine to challenge us to a Dan Battle, he's simply overestimating himself and bringing humiliation upon himself."

"That's right, the Thirty-two Skillful Hands are not like those uneducated, showy alchemists of the Four Young Dan Green. Shen Qiang's basic alchemy skills are only amateurish at best, trying to compete with us, haha, even an apprentice under my sect could defeat him with ease."

Not far from the hall, in a study.

The Great Elder of Medicine King Valley, looking at the Valley Master whose face was somber and silent, hesitated slightly before solemnly speaking, "Sect Leader, Zong Zijin is no longer among us. The Young Miss remains our sole hope. Shen Qiang may be somewhat talented, but he's far too young. If he misses the deadline, convention dictates he foregoes his qualifications to participate, so perhaps I should have someone urge him again."

Upon hearing this, the face of the Medicine King Valley Master turned exceptionally grim, "There's no need. Yu Rou is devoted to Shen Qiang, and if Shen Qiang truly cares for her, he certainly won't miss the time. If he doesn't even care about Yu Rou, what meaning would there be in urging him?"

The Great Elder of Medicine King Valley sighed, glanced at his watch, then said solemnly, "Sect Leader, the time is already seven-thirty, the register closes at eight, and results are announced at nine. If we don't urge him, I'm afraid we won't make it."

The Valley Master's face was stern: "Very well, I understand. Since Shen Qiang disregards priorities and acts so whimsically without punctuality, then let him handle it on his own. Dreaming of courting my daughter? Impossible!"

As the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley was in fury.

In the packed hall of the front lobby in Medicine King Inn, a petite young girl with twin ponytails slammed the table with a loud 'bang' and then angrily shouted.

"Enough! If the Thirty-two Skillful Hands are so terrific, how come they're afraid to challenge Shen Qiang to a Dan Battle? Oh, I've heard Shen Qiang hasn't registered his elixir pills for the contest yet, and you all boast of yourselves mightily, speaking frivolously here—where's the dignity of esteemed seniors?"

Upon hearing this, many cultivation enthusiasts present turned their heads.

But their attention was not on the big-eyed and angry twin ponytail girl, but on the beautiful female military officer beside her in a snow-white uniform with blue eyes, who, though they weren't sure exactly who she was, they nonetheless recognized she was from the Dragon Group.

The old man who's been berated for not resembling an esteemed senior by the twin ponytail girl showed a flushed face and snorted coldly, "Little girl, I disdain to argue with you, seeing you're still wet behind the ears. Do you know that registration closes in half an hour, so Shen Qiang surely won't dare to attend."

"Hehe, Shen Qiang is an advisor to the Dragon Group; your people naturally hope he wins. But regretfully, he's a coward without the guts to compete, or otherwise, the elixir pills he'd enter wouldn't still be a secret."

"Exactly, do you see the electronic screen on the wall? On it, the elixir pills of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands and the disciples of Medicine King Valley are already registered, except Shen Qiang's is still blank. If he really had the capability, how could he possibly procrastinate till this time and still not register?"

As many cultivation enthusiasts seriously discussed, the angry twin ponytail girl resentfully glared at the electronic screen, utterly clueless on how to refute.

In a corner of the hall, a Great Sea Demon with a large bald head, thick brows, big eyes, wearing a flower-patterned half-sleeve shirt, waiting to see the results, wore a slight contemptuous sneer on his lips.

Meanwhile, in the Heshenghe Mountain Villa's basement, thousands of kilometers away.

With the rich and sweet aroma, another full furnace of golden elixir pills poured into Shen Qiang's plastic sorting box.

"A total of 5003 pills." The charming Jinchan excitedly counted, "One for Boss Ma, one for Jinchan to satisfy cravings, one for the alchemy contest evaluation, and the remaining five thousand pills to sell for money to buy lots and lots of osmanthus cakes."

Seeing the jubilant Jinchan, Shen Qiang smiled and directly dialed Medicine King Valley's phone number.
