Chapter 1867 - 1870: Chu Xiaotian's Provocation

In an instant, Chu Xiaotian was stunned. The many alchemists who had previously taunted Shen Qiang for not being qualified to sit with them were also dumbfounded, their mouths agape in disbelief."Impossible, I must have misheard!" Amidst the mocking laughter of the crowd, Chu Xiaotian panicked, taking a step forward anxiously: "Valley Master, you must have made a mistake. This Shen Qiang hasn't even made it to the top hundred alchemists list. What qualifies him to sit at the head table?"

"Yes, exactly!" The several other alchemists who had previously ridiculed Shen Qiang also stood up in doubt.

"Valley Master, we need an explanation!"

"If Shen Qiang is above us, then we might as well skip this meal!"

"I'm fine with the sect leaders sitting at the head table, but if Shen Qiang is sitting there too, then it's an insult to us!"

Seeing this situation, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley smiled slightly and said, "Pan Zheng, Leader Pan, it seems like you need to explain this to them."

Upon hearing these words, everyone's gaze naturally focused on Pan Zheng.

Pan Zheng, leader of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands.

In the cultivation world, he's akin to an invisible man.

Outside of the circle of alchemists, very few people know him.

But clearly, aside from Shen Qiang, the Thirty-two Skillful Hands all look up to him.

So at this moment, upon hearing these words, the many alchemists and Chu Xiaotian all stared at Pan Zheng.

This situation made Pan Zheng a bit awkward. The truth is, as one of the top ten alchemists at the peak, both Pan Zheng and the Valley Master are well aware that the elixir pills refined by Shen Qiang, be it Pei Yuan Pill, Jiazi Pill, or the Closed Moon Shame Flower Pill, are all divine grade.

In terms of pill quality.

Even they can't compare with Shen Qiang.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, purely from an alchemist's perspective, sitting alongside Shen Qiang is already them and the Valley Master reaching up to Shen Qiang.

But they can't say this.

Because once said, not only would the Thirty-two Skillful Hands be overshadowed by Shen Qiang, but Medicine King Valley might also lose its status.

So after a slight hesitation, Pan Zheng said in a deep voice, "What explanation do you want? Isn't a seven hundred billion order enough?"

Chu Xiaotian was astonished and said, "Those are just Gathering Qi Powder and Dahe Luojianan Fragrance..."

"If you had the ability to secure a seven hundred billion order, I'd invite you to dine with us even if you were selling sand," Pan Zheng said coldly. "So enough, sit down!"

Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian was stunned, eyes full of dissatisfaction, but with a quick glance, he saw the fairy-like Qin Yurou, and his eyes lit up as he snorted coldly, "Fine, fine, since you think money is everything, then let Shen Qiang take the lead seat."

Saying this, ignoring Pan Zheng, Chu Xiaotian's eyes, shining like snow, stared at Qin Yurou, deliberately clearing his throat: "Fairy Qin, since you're already here, why not have a seat? I just happen to have some alchemy questions to ask you."

Upon hearing this, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley frowned.

But before he could speak, Shen Qiang, who had been silent all along, smiled, stepped proudly in front of Qin Yurou, and calmly said, "I forgot to tell you, Qin Yurou and I are classmates. I wouldn't sit with someone like you, and neither will Qin Yurou, so you might as well sit down yourself."

Chu Xiaotian was taken aback.

And at this moment, under everyone's shocked gaze, Shen Qiang smiled at Qin Yurou, then took her hand and headed straight for the head table.

Qin Yurou's pretty face instantly blushed down to the base of her neck, somewhat at a loss, her beautiful eyes nervously looking at the Valley Master.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the Valley Master seemed to have his vision impaired, as if he hadn't seen anything at all, instead smiling at Bai Shiyi beside him, saying, "Shen Qiang is indeed extraordinary in appearance, and Family Head Bai has a keen eye in recognizing heroes."

Bai Shiyi chuckled, then, transmitting sound, said, "Yes, I have a keen eye for heroes, and then you come in to take a share of the spoils."

The Valley Master smiled with eyes bent in amusement, not answering but politely engaging other guests.

Chu Xiaotian was bewildered, holding onto that empty chair, "Fairy Qin, your seat..."

"Mine, this is mine!" A bald, chubby middle-aged man rushed over in a hurry and plopped down on the chair Chu Xiaotian had pulled out.

Chu Xiaotian was astonished, his expression soon filled with disgust.

This scene made the thousands of cultivators present burst into laughter, sparking a flurry of discussions.

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter; does this poser Chu Xiaotian really think being in the top eight seats is something impressive? And boasting to Shen Qiang, saying he's not qualified, hahaha, yet Shen Qiang sits at the head seat!"

"The most hilarious part is this guy. Clearly, he was even rejected by Medicine King Valley when proposing, yet he refers to Fairy Qin with such familiarity."

"Watching this gives me second-hand embarrassment; it's clear Qin Yurou favors Shen Qiang, yet Chu Xiaotian, this so-called favored son of the heavens, embarrassed himself thoroughly in front of Shen Qiang. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Shen Qiang being considerate and handling things gracefully, otherwise, in such circumstances, wouldn't Chu Xiaotian have to listen to whatever Shen Qiang says?"

"Yes, that makes sense. Even though Chu Xiaotian is a genius, known as a favored son of the heavens, he still can't compare to truly significant figures. Isn't the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader impressive? Didn't stop Shen Qiang definitely showing his superiority?"

"Indeed, Shen Qiang is considerate of his status and disdains stooping to Chu Xiaotian's level."

The many cultivators present saw everything clearly.

Meanwhile, compared to the rather harmonious and amiable banquet hall, the online livestream chat had already exploded.

"Tch, earlier, those who said my Majesty couldn't even sit at the top eight tables, come forward; this lady promises not to beat you to death!"

"Hehe, just knew it, Qiang Bao is the best, hmph, is Chu Xiaotian impressive? Favored son of the heavens? In front of my Qiang Bao, isn't he just a worm?"

"Why do they say shameless people are pretentious? My Lord Qiang is so low-key, so elegant, so capable, yet who has ever seen him actively bullying others? Instead, those fools who are half-empty barrels keep bragging about how incredible they are, hmph, even thinking they can steal my Lord Qiang's woman; hahaha, that's simply laughable!"

"To speak frankly, Chu Xiaotian is quite excellent, I actually used to like him a bit, but since he dared to be arrogant with my Lord Qiang, I don't like him anymore, hmph."

"Hehe, my Wang Weiwu, my Wang is domineering, my Wang is the most handsome! See, even a sublime fairy like Qin Yurou likes him, proving our judgment is right!"

The statements from the women made all the male cultivators who previously praised Shen Qiang and wanted to nail him to the wall for a beating silent, only helplessly sending expressions of their swollen faces.

Yet just when everyone thought this matter had passed smoothly, amidst the laughter, Chu Xiaotian, his face flushed, suddenly stood up, pointed at Shen Qiang, and roared loudly: "Shen Qiang! If you're a man, let go of Qin Yurou and have a Dan Fighting with me!"
