Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1810 - 1813: The Headache of the Medicine King Valley Master

"Young people who can't keep their cool are bound to suffer!" The immortal-like Ma Zhenjun commented coldly. But before he finished speaking, he noticed that many young alchemists in the banquet hall were leaving their seats, clearly showing impatience."An alchemist not even in the top hundred dares not to challenge, yet sits here discussing how to monopolize the elixir medicine world? This is the biggest joke I've ever heard in my life."

"I may not understand the wisdom of the elders, but I know if someone spits in my face, I must hit back with a punch."

"Heh, the relationship between the Thirty-two Skillful Hands is a matter for the elders. I'm not here for that. After Shen Qiang defeated Yu Xinghuo, people in the cultivation world started calling him the strongest alchemist. I don't accept it. With him acting so arrogant, if I don't teach him a lesson, I can't forgive myself."

Many young cultivators left in a rush, causing many elderly alchemists to frown deeply.

Yet, they were helpless.

Seeing this scene, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley shook his head helplessly, a cold smile on his lips, and turned to leave the banquet hall, walking along a path to the courtyard behind the Medicine King Inn.

"Quite the Shen Qiang, the rise of Heshenghe is indeed no coincidence." Sitting in a chair in the study, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said with a cold face to the voluptuous woman beside him: "Shen Qiang told me once, the biggest trick in a casino isn't winning and taking money, but making gamblers believe they can win."

"At the time, I didn't understand what he meant, but now it seems, Shen Qiang's strategy has worked. Those young alchemists all believe they can beat Shen Qiang because in the cultivation world, no one can understand all the pill recipes."

The smiling voluptuous woman gently handed tea to the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley and said softly, "If Shen Qiang is indeed as cunning as he is, it's a good thing, as Yu Rou quite likes him. If he's smart and clever, Yu Rou's future will be both happy and prosperous."

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley smiled at this but then his expression turned gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "I used to think that Shen Qiang was a promising talent. If Yu Rou were to be with him, they'd be well-matched, but now I see that I've underestimated Shen Qiang's ambition."

The voluptuous woman was slightly surprised and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

After a moment of silence, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said, "I'm quite certain that Shen Qiang initially intended to kill Chu Xiaotian, which I could tell, but when I intervened, he immediately changed his mind, deciding to use Chu Xiaotian for his agenda. This scheming is truly unfathomable."

The voluptuous woman smiled and said, "Maybe you're overthinking it. Moreover, in this ruthless cultivation world, naive people can hardly survive. So I think you should be happy about this. At least it proves that Yu Rou has good insight and Shen Qiang is indeed a true talent."

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley laughed, took a sip of tea, and said, "If he hadn't told me that, I might really be happy to have such a brave, cunning, and capable son-in-law, but after hearing his words, I suddenly feel he's somewhat frightening."

The voluptuous woman laughed and said, "Oh, you've been the Valley Master for so long; you're always suspicious of this or that. I think that child Shen Qiang is quite good. With Yu Rou, they are a perfect match, a couple like a pair of immortals."

Hearing this, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "That's the opinion of a woman! From a personal viewpoint, I also think highly of Yu Rou and Shen Qiang's situation, but his ambition now threatens Medicine King Valley."

The voluptuous woman was momentarily stunned: "Threaten Medicine King Valley? How is that possible? Medicine King Valley took thousands of years to build up to today's glory. And Heshenghe is just a…"

"Do you know how many alchemists in the valley can stand on their own?" Putting down the teacup, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said with a cold gaze: "Thirty-seven people. Counting the younger generation like Yu Rou, it's only forty-four."

Looking earnestly at the voluptuous woman, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said, "An alchemist must be rigorously selected from childhood, with a presence throughout Huaxia. Every year, only a handful are worth nurturing, then it takes ten to twenty years of diligent study and practice, with a process of elimination. In the end, those who remain have achieved something, but they are less than one-tenth of their peers."

"Moreover, the materials consumed during these disciples' alchemy process cost millions. We can say each alchemist is built with diamonds."

"But what about Shen Qiang?" The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said in a deep voice: "Although he seems to follow a non-mainstream path, his alchemy technique is highly perfected. Every elixir pill he refines is of transcendent quality. Competing with him in Dan Fighting, let's not even mention those young cultivators; even if an elder from the valley were to compete, the chance of winning based on pill quality alone is one in ten thousand!"

The voluptuous woman was stunned but then pleasantly surprised: "Shen Qiang is that capable? Then if he and Yu Rou are together, wouldn't you be adding wings to a tiger?"

"A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!" The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said in a deep voice: "I'm not old enough to retire yet!"

The voluptuous woman chuckled: "Even if you want to retire, it's another question whether Shen Qiang would come to Medicine King Valley. Heshenghe may not be the best now, but it's very famous. Why would he give up his kingdom and come to take orders from you? You're dreaming!"

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, hearing this, closed his eyes in frustration, rubbing his forehead as he said, "The problem lies here. Unless Shen Qiang cannot refine the elixir pills that his competitors can, anyone who competes against him in Dan Fighting will lose."

"That Chu Xiaotian, though arrogant and egocentric, is a genius. He will lose to Shen Qiang. Furthermore, with Yu Rou, the three of them in Heshenghe can turn the alchemist circle upside down. If other young alchemists also lose to Shen Qiang, what do you think he will do?"

The voluptuous woman paused, then said, "Do you think he will stand against Medicine King Valley at that time?"

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley sighed in frustration: "You might question Shen Qiang's capability, but never underestimate his ambition. We cannot refine the elixir pills he can, while he can probably mimic what we can create. Once he has enough manpower, the first thing he's likely to do is compete against me!"

The voluptuous woman burst out laughing: "You think too much! Actually, as long as Yu Rou is with him, he becomes the son-in-law of Medicine King Valley. The prestige of Medicine King Valley won't fall but instead will rise with the tide. So I think you should help this matter."

Hearing this, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley frowned and looked at the voluptuous woman for a long time before picking up the phone to call the valley.

"Issue my decree: all disciples of Medicine King Valley are strictly forbidden from engaging in Dan Fighting with Shen Qiang. Also, notify the external liason to do everything possible to stop those alchemists from competing with Shen Qiang!"
