Chapter 1909 - 1912: Lin Fenghang's Provocation
Shen Qiang frowned, looking at the Sea Demon King with surprise, "Leaving tonight, why so urgent? The Elixir Pills conference has one more day to go, so I don't understand what you're up to."The Sea Demon King laughed, "It's simple, if you, Shen Qiang, can truly make it into the top four, then the guys from the Pill Alliance will admire you from the bottom of their hearts. Moreover, you just did them a big favor. Whatever Elixir Pills I want, you should be able to get them for me. Staying here serves no purpose for me."
Shen Qiang smiled.
At this moment, the Sea Demon King Yu Jiang's face turned cold. He stepped forward abruptly, standing in front of Shen Qiang, and said sternly, "Also, you took my little phoenix, which makes me very unhappy. I'm worried that if I stay here, I won't be able to resist breaking your neck."
Shen Qiang chuckled, pushed past the Sea Demon King Yu Jiang, and calmly said while drying his hands, "Fine, I agree to your terms, but you'd better not trick me. Otherwise, I might really wipe out all your soldiers."
With that, Shen Qiang arrogantly pushed past the Sea Demon King and left.
At this time, in the bathroom stall, the fat man from the Abyss had a frighteningly bright gaze.
"Once the Sea Demon King and that amazing butler leave, won't Shen Qiang become a nobody?"
He was pondering this.
Bang.
The door swung open.
The Sea Demon King Yu Jiang looked at him coldly. Until the fat man grew uneasy, the Sea Demon King Yu Jiang said, "Kid, I'm warning you, don't think that just because those two old fellows with you are powerful, you can mess with Shen Qiang. You couldn't handle the consequences."
The fat man laughed dryly, "No, I don't understand what you're saying."
The Sea Demon King sneered, slammed the door shut with a bang, and said, "If you don't believe me, go ahead and try. Shen Qiang is not alone!"
With that, the Sea Demon King also left.
After a long while, once he couldn't hear his footsteps anymore, the fat man from the Abyss breathed a sigh of relief, and then muttered to himself with a cold smile, "Tch, do you think I get scared easily? Without Yu Jiang and that incredibly powerful butler, what does Shen Qiang have to fight me with?"
While the fat man was acting tough in the bathroom, Shen Qiang, who had already returned to his seat, clearly saw that the results of three pairs of judges had been announced. But like before, Shen Qiang didn't recognize the winners, nor the losers. It was just weaklings pecking at each other, nothing exciting. So, back in his seat, Shen Qiang was quite bored.
He couldn't help picking up his phone and going online.
As soon as his account logged in, the phone lagged for a moment, and then Shen Qiang was astonished to see that all his social media apps were flooded with little red dots with 99+ notifications.
He casually tapped to read a few, and the content made Shen Qiang laugh and cry.
"Powerful Master Qiang, please take me along!"
"Master Qiang, I want to join Heshenghe!"
"Brother Qiang, can I bring members of my family to join Heshenghe?"
Messages like these were everywhere, and even more outrageous were the numerous photos of beautiful women, mostly from strangers.
"Hello, Leader Shen, this is my real photo, height 168 cm, weight 49.5 kg, nineteen years old, seeking a relationship."
"Leader Shen, I am an elder from the Northwest Song family. The person in the photo is my daughter, aged twenty-one, wishing to form a Dao bond with Leader Shen."
"Dear Qiang Bao, mwah, love you, this is my photo, can we have a chance encounter?"
Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, who was peeking from the side, smiled with squinted eyes and chuckled, "Congratulations, your status is clearly rising. This kind of thing, in the past, wouldn't even be imaginable. No girl in the Cultivation World would want to be with the leader of a demon without great heft, but now you're in demand, many are self-recommending."
"Are you jealous?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.
Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu blushed and retorted, "No, I'm not."
Shen Qiang laughed, "I believe you."
Hearing that, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu gave Shen Qiang a charming sidelong glance and said, "Not a chance."
Shen Qiang chuckled, casually closed those trivial social media apps, and then logged onto the Immortal Realm Forum. Upon entering the Jianghu Conflicts section, a live broadcast of the Elixir Pills conference popped up. Shen Qiang took one look and was immediately dumbfounded.
Not only that, when Shen Qiang looked around, he immediately saw that many people were fiddling with their phones.
Turning back, the numerous cultivators in the live stream were discussing heatedly, although there weren't many comments, yet the topic of their discussion greatly intrigued Shen Qiang.
"This Elixir Pills conference has been utterly messed up by the meddling of Shen Qiang, the troublemaker. Qin Yurou Fairy drawing lots against the talented Chu Xiaotian, my personal favorite new star alchemist Chen Hao against Lin Fenghang, this is just too cruel!"
"Yes, yes, Qin Yurou Fairy is so beautiful, almost like Chang'e on the moon, I really wanted to see her win. But she drew Chu Xiaotian, and Chu Xiaotian is a prodigy. How could Qin Yurou possibly win against him?"
"Exactly, exactly. I hate Shen Qiang! Originally, Qin Yurou was supposed to face an insignificant alchemist. With Qin Yurou's skills, making it to the top sixteen was just the beginning, the top eight wouldn't be an issue. And now, one wrong move and Qin Yurou Fairy could be knocked out in the first round."
Seeing these comments, Shen Qiang was mentally cursing.
Because, in fact, Shen Qiang couldn't understand why someone like Chu Xiaotian, who couldn't even refine a Divine Grade Elixir Pill and hadn't yet graduated as an apprentice, was called a prodigy. Qin Yurou was the same. No matter how formidable the two were, their showdown in Shen Qiang's eyes was just a laughable fight between weaklings. Yet he didn't expect it.
In this situation, it was surprisingly so attention-grabbing.
It's kind of embarrassing.
Especially thinking of Qin Yurou as his girlfriend, Shen Qiang sighed inwardly, feeling that once they were together, he needed to thoroughly teach her. At the very least, she should reach a basic level of alchemy and be able to refine Divine Grade Elixir Pills, otherwise, it would be embarrassing for Shen Qiang.
While contemplating, Shen Qiang heard the host say, "Up next, we have a matchup between Chen Hao from the Chen family, battling Lin Fenghang, ranked 61st on the Alchemist Top 100 list. Now, let's invite both to present their battle declarations and hand their Elixir Pills to our staff."
Shen Qiang was indifferent, but in an instant, a barrage of comments flooded from the live chat on his phone.
"Chen Hao, ahh, a genius alchemist. His talent is rumored to be even higher than Chu Xiaotian's. But it's unfortunate, Lin Fenghang is too strong."
"Yes, there's no likely chance for him to win."
As the comments continued, Lin Fenghang, who had already stood up on the stage, didn't look into the many cameras. Instead, he stared at Shen Qiang and said in a deep voice, "My battle declaration is prepared for Shen Qiang. It's just a shame, right now he's not my opponent. So Shen Qiang, keep it up. I will personally defeat you."
