Chapter 1750 - 1753: The Beautiful Girl Driven to Tears by Anger
In the hall of the Medicine King Inn, Nalan Tianyu, dressed in a pure white military uniform, was breathtakingly beautiful even as she frowned."Shen Qiang is just a coward. He doesn't have the guts to show up at the Elixir Pill Conference and make a fool of himself. After all, he can pretend to be an elixir pill expert in that small Provincial City, but if he comes to this conference and compares himself with us, he's definitely just trash."
"Haha, Shen Qiang's alchemy skills are not great, but he sure is good at deceiving young women. He doesn't even dare to come, let alone register a pill for evaluation. Indecisive? Not at all. To put it bluntly, it's just because he's not confident he can win."
"Exactly, Shen Qiang doesn't dare to show his face, yet you, little girl, want to stand up for him?"
The crowd of cultivators wore expressions of smug satisfaction. Their mocking words made the twin-tailed girl beside Nalan Tianyu, with a face filled with anger, speechless.
Because clearly, what they said was the truth.
Just as Nalan Tianyu, with a cold expression, was about to speak.
With a notification sound, the electronic screen in the hall flickered, and at the bottom of the big screen, next to the name "Shen Qiang of Heshenghe," a line of words instantly appeared: Super Duper Pill, cures all cancers.
In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.
Almost everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the big screen.
Only after three or four seconds did the silent crowd in the hall erupt in chaos.
"Hahaha, this is killing me with laughter. What on earth is a Super Duper Pill? Cures all cancers? How is this different from those scam ads in public toilets that claim to have secret ancestral recipes curing all diseases?"
"Is Shen Qiang joking? The name of this elixir pill is certainly outstanding. Super Duper Pill—did Shen Qiang not even finish elementary school? A pill's name is its facade. Even if it doesn't have a cool name like Dragon Essence Tiger Vigor, it should at least sound decent and meaningful. Super Duper Pill—not only can it brag, but it might as well reach the heavens."
"So funny, even kids wouldn't name their representative pill something so crude."
"Exactly, even calling it something like Dragon Essence Tiger Vigor Pill or Kang Ning Zheng Qi Pill would be better than Super Duper Pill. Obviously, only a person with no skill or knowledge would dare use such a name."
The laughter in the hall brought a smile to the face of the Medicine King Valley Master in the study.
"Humph, little Shen Qiang, you think registering your pill is enough? Made us wait so long, if I don't mess with you a bit, how can I live with myself."
The Great Elder, full of helplessness, thought: "Shen Qiang really loves causing trouble, choosing such a name out of all possibilities, it seems even the other names weren't as reliable as Super Duper Pill."
Just then, in the Medicine King Inn's hall, the twin-tailed girl shouted vehemently.
"How shameless! What were you saying earlier, that Shen Qiang wouldn't dare come, wouldn't even dare to register? Ha, what was the result? Shen Qiang not only dared to come, he registered, and now what do you do? Immediately change topics to laugh at the name of his pill?"
"Exactly, Shen Qiang's pill can be named whatever he wants. What's it to you? Shamelessly boast, saying Shen Qiang didn't dare come, and yet, here he is!" mocked a cultivator standing next to her.
"I didn't want to speak, but you've gone too far. If Shen Qiang didn't show, you'd be bragging; when he does show up, you're still bragging. If you've got guts, argue with Shen Qiang himself instead of bickering with a young girl. If you're really brave, point at Shen Qiang and curse. That's what being bold really means," another sneered.
These words silenced those cultivators from earlier.
Point at Shen Qiang and curse?
Not that no one in the cultivation world would dare do this now, but there are definitely not many. The reason is simple.
Shen Qiang punched the life out of Yan Xianghui from the Five Tigers of Cultivation, and with One Slash killed Xiang Qianmeng, a powerful Dao Fruit Stage expert. Though Shen Qiang's combat power hasn't yet topped the cultivation world, it's definitely nearing the top tier.
So the members of Thirty-two Skillful Hands looked at each other, though none of them were convinced. But truthfully, if asked to go, they wouldn't dare. After all, they're alchemists, and the competitive heshenghe three hundred plus Great Demons versus Shen Qiang's alchemy, is only an internal contest; at worst, a test of skill.
In such a scenario, pointing at Shen Qiang would be absurdly suicidal.
However, obviously, for those alchemists who believe they are far superior to ordinary cultivators, despite realizing their humiliated position, remains unaffected, because they can choose to ignore as long as they don't admit their faces were disgraced by Shen Qiang's registration, these small roles in the cultivation world can do nothing against them.
"Hahaha, truly hilarious. Not only does Shen Qiang have a goofy pill name, but he's also boasting beyond belief. An elixir pill that cures cancer? Impossible. Clearly, he's talking big. The cultivation world is full of talented people. If such a pill can cure various cancers, why him?"
"Exactly, our sect's lineage spans thousands of years. The idea of pills curing cancer has been tried many times, but useless. Unlike ordinary people who often catch colds, there's an unusual case of cancer among cultivators, due to their faster metabolism. How many cultivators suffering from cancer have been cured?"
"Haha, Shen Qiang has more than unrealistic dreams. The Medicine King Valley is the Holy Land for alchemists; every Medicine King is a genius. If they couldn't research a cure, and the medical field is helpless, how could Shen Qiang, managing a few hundred demons, come up with a solution?"
"Right, clearly the name is unreliable, and the treatment goal even more so. This Shen Qiang dares to come; he'll surely be a joke."
The numerous alchemists under the Thirty-two Skillful Hands spoke with certainty, all carrying expressions of expertise concerning elixir pills.
The twin-tailed girl beside Nalan Tianyu shouted angrily: "You're too much! Just because you can't do it, you think Shen Qiang can't either? How despicable!"
Her voice was sharp, but the many cultivators in the hall only glanced mockingly at her and continued as they were, an attitude of dismissive and dominant supremacy, thinking: little girl, speak all you want, but we are the true leaders.
"It's hopeless, can't even name a pill properly; can the pill be any good?"
"Haha, he really dares to boast. We have so many grandmaster-level alchemists who can't solve cancer—is he capable?"
"Ridiculous, he can brag all he wants, but if his pill cures cancer, I'll eat this table."
Seeing the many cultivators completely ignoring her and continuing their unified mocking of Shen Qiang, with her voice hoarse from shouting with no response...
She cried out of anger!
