Chapter 1904 - 1907: I Set the Rules for the Elixir Pill Conference

The moment Shen Qiang said those words, not only did Pan Zheng's face turn pale, but also the heads of the numerous cultivators in the arena tingled, and their hairs stood on end.The reason was simple. With the support of three hundred alchemists, the situation's control no longer lay in Pan Zheng's hands.

With these three hundred alchemists, Shen Qiang could indeed act as he said, first disrupting the Elixir Pills Conference, then opening another Elixir Pills Conference under the Heshenghe name. Not only that, even if the Thirty-two Skillful Hands and Medicine King Valley didn't attend, a grand show with over three hundred alchemists would still be irresistibly attractive.

By that time, no one would dare to cause trouble at the demon-gathered Heshenghe, but Shen Qiang would dare to make a move at Medicine King Valley.

The result would certainly be as Shen Qiang said.

Not only did he pave his way, but he also left others without any path to follow!

Moreover, Pan Zheng was well aware that the reason he initially became the head of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands was that they were suppressed by Medicine King Valley, forcing them to unite.

And for the following eighteen years, Pan Zheng made it impossible for Medicine King Valley to take any action but to endure.

If Shen Qiang had come here alone, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley would absolutely not dare to oppose his will, because once the Thirty-two Skillful Hands united and left altogether, Medicine King Valley would not only lose face, its status would plummet, and the Elixir Pills Conference would be over.

But the situation now was different. With the divine-grade alchemist Shen Qiang, the Four Minor Elixir Masters, plus three hundred alchemists, even if the Thirty-two Skillful Hands left, Medicine King Valley's Elixir Pills Conference could still be successful. Even though many cultivators might be unaccustomed, after several conferences, countless famous alchemists would undoubtedly emerge among these alchemists.

By then, the Thirty-two Skillful Hands would inevitably fade into obscurity.

So with a sigh, Pan Zheng sat back in his chair and chuckled, saying, "I suppose if I said I don't want to hear you speak, Valley Master Qin wouldn't agree, would he?"

The Medicine King Valley Master smiled and said, "Head of the Pan family sees things clearly."

Pan Zheng nodded, saying, "Alright, in that case, Shen Qiang, speak your mind. As long as your demands are not too excessive, I will consider them seriously."

Upon hearing this, the onlookers exchanged curious glances.

"Wow, indeed, one's greatest support is oneself. Is it any use being close to others? Bai Shiyi, Weisheng Zhimei, even if they wanted to help Shen Qiang, they couldn't. But now, look again—with the backing of three hundred alchemists, Pan Zheng, who was so arrogant before, also has to sit down and listen to Shen Qiang."

"Indeed, the situation is more powerful than people. The same Shen Qiang, who was ignored before becomes influential once three hundred alchemists stand behind him. Pan Zheng doesn't dare to be arrogant anymore, let alone expel him. Impossible."

"Sigh, indeed, without enough strength, one's words are just a joke. But once strong enough, people will think carefully about everything you say and show respect. In the cultivation world, if you want respect, the only way is to strengthen yourself. There's no other way."

Seeing Pan Zheng sit down, Shen Qiang smiled calmly and said, "First, what I want to say is simple. Since it's an Elixir Pills Conference, it should be a grand event for all alchemists in the cultivation world. So, having three judges—two from the Thirty-two Skillful Hands and one from Medicine King Valley—is inherently unreasonable."

Upon hearing this, Pan Zheng's face darkened, and he said sternly, "Shen Qiang, what do you mean? Speak directly, no need to beat around the bush."

Raising an eyebrow, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "My meaning is simple. The Elixir Pills Conference competes in elixirs, so let's talk about elixirs, not character or sects and stuff. Thus, three judges are a bit too few, five might be better."

Hearing this, Pan Zheng's face darkened again.

At this moment, the silent Medicine King Valley Master laughed and agreed, "That's an excellent point and very reasonable. Let's add two more judges. In this conference, let's include two esteemed elders from the Heshenghe Pill Alliance as judges. I'm sure the alchemists won't mind."

Upon hearing this, two elders among the many alchemists of the Pill Alliance showed expressions of satisfaction.

Even the many alchemists of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, although slightly surprised, had no complaints. After all, the two elders of the Pill Alliance were considered the strongest below the top ten grandmasters and reputably respected in the alchemist community.

While not as famous as the top ten alchemist masters, due to their frequent presence in the alchemist community, they are truly notable figures with unquestionable character, so there was no objection.

Seeing this situation, Pan Zheng felt helpless, as he understood very well that with two more judges, it would be nearly impossible for him to do as he pleased in the Elixir Pills Conference.

"Shen Family Head's suggestion is good, but everything for this conference was already set, so it can be discussed for future events, but for this conference, no changes are needed."

Hearing Pan Zheng's words, Shen Qiang smiled and calmly said, "The alchemist circle in the cultivation world is small, everyone is well-known, and everyone knows who is capable and who is not. So, no need for polite words. Our Pill Alliance's two elders joining the judging panel, if Head of the Pan family isn't assured, you can serve as a judge yourself, and so can the Medicine King Valley Master."

The Medicine King Valley Master chuckled, saying, "Our elders are upright and do not need to be replaced."

Pan Zheng added, "The conference was prepared over three years, how can it be arbitrarily changed?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Because I want it to change, so I make the rules. If you refuse, this Elixir Pills Conference will be canceled."

Chu Xiaotian became angry and cut in, "Shen Qiang, who do you think you are? Do you have the right to say that?"

"How impudent!" Yu Xinghuo stepped forward and said sternly, "We of the Heshenghe Pill Alliance, three hundred alchemists here, who dares to say we aren't alchemists? Who dares to question what our Alliance Hierarch says? Anyone dare? Let's engage in Dan Fighting!"

In an instant, Chu Xiaotian was stunned.

Although not ranked among the top hundred, Yu Xinghuo of the Four Minor Elixir Masters is definitely among the best. Chu Xiaotian's chance of winning in a Dan Fight with him is less than half.

At the same time, another member of the Four Minor Elixir Masters stepped forward and said coldly, "I've tolerated you long enough. Since you dare refuse our Alliance Hierarch's requests, that's disrespectful. Come on, let the alchemists of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands stand up and compete with our Heshenghe Pill Alliance. Let's see who is truly the best!"

In a moment, the alchemists of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands also became inflamed.

But just then, Pan Zheng sighed inwardly and spoke, "Alliance Hierarch Shen, you win. Let's do as you say, five judges."
