Chapter 1913 - 1916: Qin Yurou's Breathtaking Beauty Stuns the Crowd

The judging phase of the Elixir Pills competition continued, and after taking enough photos, Chen Hao returned to the side of Thirty-two Skillful Hands. Although the live broadcast room was lively enough, Shen Qiang felt a faint unease in his heart after watching for a while and chose to turn off his phone.Despite Shen Qiang's calm demeanor, he hadn't forgotten about Bianyi's situation in the hands of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

Honestly speaking, Shen Qiang wasn't worried that the people of Qingyun Sword Pavilion would harm Bianyi.

Because as long as they still had some sense, they should know that if Shen Qiang dared to let Bianyi lead people to attack the Qingyun Sword Pavilion, now, Shen Qiang would naturally dare to annihilate them all for Bianyi.

So what really made Shen Qiang faintly uneasy was the fear of being intercepted by someone else.

The Qingyun Sword Pavilion is an old sect in the Cultivation World. Before suffering Shen Qiang's blow, it was an unchallenged overlord.

But now, under Bianyi's relentless actions, the Qingyun Sword Pavilion was already fraught with weaknesses. If they chose to hold on, it wouldn't be long before they'd be swallowed up. So the only way for the Qingyun Sword Pavilion to save themselves now was to submit to others in exchange for the stability of their mountain gate.

Shen Qiang was the best choice because the two sides were close in distance. By car, it would take just a little over three hours to arrive. By flight, given Heshenghe's transport capabilities, it would take about twenty minutes, at most half an hour, to support them.

However, Qingyun Sword Pavilion was not the only option for Shen Qiang's Heshenghe.

The most dangerous among them was the Kunlun Sword Sect.

The main reason Shen Qiang dared to openly face off against the Kunlun Sword Sect when his strength wasn't strong was that Kunlun was too far from Shen Qiang—three to four thousand kilometers, taking ten to eight hours to get there.

Moreover, in unfamiliar territory, what could they do when they arrived?

Wouldn't they just get a beating?

But if the Qingyun Sword Pavilion became an annex of the Kunlun Sword Sect, that would be trouble.

With a foothold, Kunlun's disciples could all come, and once familiar with the environment, they could make Shen Qiang feel like a thorn in his back, restless day and night.

Moreover, at this time, it's not only the Kunlun Sword Sect that might do such a thing. The Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Medicine King Valley, even Long Chang, and other top-tier sects, no matter who suddenly appeared in the Qingyun Sword Pavilion, would make Heshenghe very, very uncomfortable, anxious day and night.

Because with Sword Flight or a fast approach, they could launch a strong attack on Heshenghe in just half an hour.

With such a short distance and imminent timing, there is no room for buffer.

The only way is to maintain strict vigilance day and night.

But this isn't a matter of just one or two days; it's permanent. That means the Heshenghe Mountain Villa must keep a large number of personnel on guard at all times, and there's simply no way to expand outward.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Bianyi has never gone all out, and why he doesn't dare to corner the Qingyun Sword Pavilion too harshly.

Not only that, but more importantly, Hidden Sword Villa is in a corner, and strategically, it doesn't make much difference whether or not it is taken. Carefree Valley and Baihua Palace currently have close relations with Heshenghe, so outward development wouldn't meet resistance from them, but it's indeed difficult to encroach on their territory.

The only moveable piece is the Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

Moreover, the forces of Qingyun Sword Pavilion are located at a transportation hub. Otherwise, they wouldn't value cars so much. Once the Qingyun Sword Pavilion is dealt with, not only will Heshenghe truly stand in the Cultivation World, but it also gains the potential for deeper-level development.

So for Shen Qiang, the Qingyun Sword Pavilion is a must-win, as it is Shen Qiang's only grand avenue for Heshenghe's peaceful and stable development.

Regardless of whether the Qingyun Sword Pavilion acts against Bianyi to set conditions or has other ideas at this time, it will undoubtedly change because of Shen Qiang's ranking in the Elixir Pills competition.

If Shen Qiang is strong enough and becomes a powerful ally, the people of Qingyun Sword Pavilion will come to him on their own.

But if Shen Qiang performs poorly,

everything would be over.

Even if he went to negotiate with the Qingyun Sword Pavilion and offered them benefits, it wouldn't help. They would rather choose the backing of other sects, and then they would surely retaliate against Heshenghe, causing a chain reaction with numerous troubles.

While pondering the matter of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion,

at this moment, the host's words caught Shen Qiang's attention.

"Next up in the face-off is the pride of Thirty-two Skillful Hands! Chu! Xiaotian!"

Following the host's shout, some of the cultivators present were already cheering.

Moreover, Chu Xiaotian, who stood up proudly, walked towards the judging platform with a look of pride on his face.

His arrogant expression indeed had a bit of the meaning of looking down on others.

"Wow, look, it's the prodigal son Chu Xiaotian, he was the most striking young alchemist at the last Elixir Pills competition, with the Cultivation World buzzing about his potential to become a Medicine King!"

"Yeah, many say Chu Xiaotian has the potential to become a Medicine King within fifty years!"

"Yes, he's indeed impressive as the prodigal son Chu Xiaotian, making a spectacular entrance like this."

"That's right, Lin Fenghang refined four hundred pills and ranked only 61 in the Pill List over three years, while Chu Xiaotian made only about one hundred and twenty pills and ranked 62. If he made as many pills, I bet he'd be in the top fifty by now."

"Indeed, he's a genius, a prodigy of his generation!"

Amid the people's awe, Chu Xiaotian made his domineering entrance, proud and imposing.

Not only that, once on the stage, he gave Shen Qiang a cold, mocking smile, wearing a look that seemed to say he was superior.

This made Shen Qiang somewhat impatient.

It felt like there was a fly buzzing around.

And just at this time,

as Chu Xiaotian stood firm on stage,

the host declared aloud, "If there is such an alchemist in this world, with an elegant and ethereal temperament, as beautiful as the Moon Immortal…"

"Qin Yurou!"

"Qin Yurou!"

Before the host could finish the introduction, many cultivators present had already started chanting, making the host slightly embarrassed. He quickly moved the microphone towards the crowd, striking a pose like "come on, let's all sing together," and then shouted to ease the awkwardness himself: "Indeed, please welcome our perfect fairy, the most beautiful alchemist, Qin Yurou, Fairy Qin!"

With his shout,

Shen Qiang turned to look.

Instantly, he saw Qin Yurou coming gracefully in a white dress, exuding an Immortal Aura.

Her delicate face was flawless.

When her eyes met Shen Qiang's, they inexplicably blushed.

Not only did her beautiful eyes carry charm, but she also had a reserved smile at the corner of her lips.

Her pink lips, tender like cherry blossom petals drifting in the snow, combined with her graceful, steady steps, and her starry bright eyes, made everyone present hold their breath unconsciously.

Even the absolutely stunning Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei couldn't help but sigh to herself: "This girl is truly beautiful, if I were a man, I might fall in love with her at first sight too!"
