Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1843 - 1846: Bizarre—The Collective Disappearance of the Alchemists

"The Kunlun Sect Leader and the Thirty-two Skillful Hands have gone too far!"In the Immortal Realm Forum, countless cultivators watching the Elixir Pills Congress through the livestream were already in uproar.

After all, the Elixir Pills Congress, held every three years, is one of the few major events in the Cultivation World that attracts the most attention because elixir pills are closely related to every cultivator. Although not everyone uses them, there's not a single cultivator who doesn't hope to have elixir pills at hand when encountering trouble.

However, one, the Medicine King Valley is far away and difficult to reach, and two, the expensive elixir pills are unaffordable for most, even if they do go. Those who actually need them usually have their sects make the purchase.

So, more people interested in the Elixir Pills Congress watch the live broadcast to see what's happening on-site.

After all, this way, they don't have to spend money, and they also gain experience and first-hand information, which is a blessing for those cultivators who cannot be there for various reasons.

Therefore, the number of viewers watching the live stream of the Elixir Pills Congress has already surpassed 300,000.

These people, without exception, are all cultivators.

"It's simply outrageous, is this the behavior of a prestigious sect? This infuriates me, it's nothing short of a bully dominating the market! What about Shen Qiang? The opportunity to participate in the Elixir Pills Congress was earned through his skills. If you're dissatisfied, Kunlun, then take this spot, this chance, away from him!"

"Exactly, it's so hateful! This is disgusting to the extreme, bullying like this! You don't have the skills to compete with Shen Qiang in alchemy, so you put on this rogue act. What do you mean by saying buying elixirs from Heshenghe means being an enemy of Kunlun? I'm just waiting to take a pill to save my life, how does that bother them?"

"I always knew the Cultivation World's waters were deep, but I never imagined they'd be this deep. Look at the situation now; it's clear the Kunlun Sword Sect cultivators are openly causing trouble for Shen Qiang. Their goal is obviously to curtail Heshenghe's influence, and the Thirty-two Skillful Hands are joining forces to drive Shen Qiang out of the elixir market. This situation is unsolvable, and no one can save Heshenghe now."

"It's so disgusting. Even though my master always tells me that the Jianghu is dangerous and to roam it, one must be powerful, I never took it seriously. I never expected someone as strong as Brother Qiang would also be subjected to this kind of treatment."

"Heh, it's the same in all industries. Even if you're at the top, there will always be various dilemmas. Heshenghe is very strong, almost on par with first-class sects, but it's not a traditional sect, and its founding was too recent, with many imperfections in various aspects. Compared to the deeply-rooted super first-class sects and families, they lack status and power, so of course, they get bullied."

"Haha, Kunlun is just so formidable, they bully you, so what can you do? Not convinced? Why don't you go challenge Kunlun? Take them down! Destroy Kunlun! Face them head-on! Beat them all! If you can't, haha, just suck it up!"

Such comments are constantly emerging in the livestream.

The 300,000 odd cultivators in the livestream room all disliked the actions of the Kunlun Sword Sect and the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, but the idea of backing Shen Qiang was practically nonexistent.

After all, the Cultivation World is one where strength reigns supreme.

If Shen Qiang's Heshenghe were really bigger, and its overall strength far surpassed the Kunlun Sword Sect, then no matter how great the grievances, the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader wouldn't dare act this way.

Because that would be courting death!

"Latest news, the alchemists of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands have announced that as long as you don't buy Shen Qiang's elixirs, you can get huge discounts from them, with some elixirs priced at up to 30% off!"

"It's over! This time, Shen Qiang's Heshenghe is completely done for. The elixirs from Heshenghe are available in the auction houses, ready for purchase anytime. Who would be foolish enough not to take the discounts from the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, rushing to order from Shen Qiang instead and bring bad luck upon themselves?"

"Sigh... It looks like Brother Qiang's undefeated legend is finally about to be broken. This unsolvable situation can't be resolved by force at all."

"Exactly, Heshenghe is very powerful, but so what? Which fool would risk angering the Kunlun Sword Sect for the sake of using his services? So now, let's just focus on tomorrow's elixir evaluations. After all, Shen Qiang is definitely doomed this time, and nothing can change that."

"Hmm, Heshenghe surely stands no chance, but for some reason, this year's broadcast feels a bit strange to me!"

Seeing this message, the livestream momentarily fell silent, and then everyone began sending barrage comments.

"Yeah, it does feel a bit strange. It feels like something's missing, but I can't pinpoint exactly what. It's a really odd feeling."

"The atmosphere is much worse compared to previous editions!"

"Exactly, the atmosphere in the livestream room is really bad..."

"Tsk! Fools, are you just now noticing the unusual atmosphere? Haha, the reason this Elixir Pills Congress's broadcast feels different is that the experts who would usually join us in the livestream to explain all sorts of elixirs are missing!"

These words made the messages in the livestream explode instantly.

"Damn it! In previous broadcasts of the Elixir Pills Congress, there were many alchemists who would talk about various elixirs alongside the cameras, all very professional, but this time, from morning till now, there has simply been none!"

"Geez, if you guys hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed, I just felt something was a bit off, but I couldn't put my finger on it."

"Really! Where have all the alchemists gone? In previous years, the livestream room had all kinds of elite experts critiquing and discussing, showing off their knowledge crucially, but why are they absent this year?"

"Yeah, it's so strange! Everyone think about it. Since this morning, the broadcast content started with the shocking seven Bright Star Pearls, followed by everyone lambasting the disgraceful actions of the Kunlun Sword Sect and the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, some sighing over the profoundness of the Jianghu, some watching the spectacle, some empathizing with Shen Qiang, but none of the alchemists have stood up to comment on this year's Elixir Pills Congress or the pills shown from the cameras!"

"Oh damn, where are they, so many alchemists, where did they go? Does anyone know? Hurry and get a few out here to chat with me about those elixirs."

"Exactly, without their explanations, all the pills look like balls to me!"

"It's outrageous, every year they voluntarily come forward and explain, I understood but didn't care, damn it, but this year there's not a single expert, I can't tell which elixirs are good, who has the strongest ones!"

And just as cries were spreading through the network's 300,000 plus cultivators in the livestream room.

A line of red text suddenly appeared on the screen: "Want to know where all those alchemist experts have gone? Stay tuned!"
