Chapter 1992 - 1995: Fame and Fortune—Sect Leaders Come to Bid Farewell

The women saw that the prodigy Chu Xiaotian had become obedient, and no longer dared to act arrogantly with Shen Qiang, which made them all smile with delight. The beautiful fairy Qin Yurou handed the package of Lingxiao Silver Buds to Shen Qiang, telling him to keep it safe.

After all, it was Immortal Tea.

Shen Qiang didn't hesitate and not only accepted it directly but also asked a conventional question: "It's too stingy. Why don't you ask your master to give two more pounds?"

The stunning Qin Yurou gave Shen Qiang a charming glance, laughing: "Greed knows no bounds, the snake wants to swallow the elephant!"

After this, Qin Yongquan, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, began his celebratory speech. Besides the polite pleasantries, he focused particularly on the performance of various alchemy sects at this Dan Medicine Conference.

Leading the pack was, undoubtedly, Shen Qiang.

His elixir pills received orders worth hundreds of billions at this conference, followed closely by Medicine King Valley, which secured over ten billion in orders. Next was Thirty-two Skillful Hands, with thirty-two families coming together to get orders amounting to three hundred billion—almost triple that of Medicine King Valley and a third of Shen Qiang's total.

If viewed separately, it wouldn't matter much since the highest was several tens of billions while the lowest was merely a billion in orders.

Not only that, even from the sales perspective, Medicine King Valley combined with Thirty-two Skillful Hands still didn't secure more than half of Shen Qiang's orders, even after he ceased accepting orders on the third day.

Otherwise, knowing every pill from Shen Qiang was of Divine Grade, the orders might even double.

But now, Shen Qiang had become indifferent to money; a scale of hundreds of billions in orders was sufficient, and more than that, Shen Qiang might not have time to refine anyhow.

However, to other cultivators, these orders worth hundreds of billions were a source of envy.

"Don't even mention orders worth hundreds of billions; breaking into billions is an unparalleled success in my view."

"How fierce is Shen Qiang! Coming to this Dan Medicine Conference for the first time and securing orders worth hundreds of billions is explosively strong!"

"This guy is ruthless; not only is Weisheng Zhimei close to him, but the Medicine King's precious jewel, the extraordinary Qin Yurou, is also with him. More ferociously, Thirty-two Skillful Hands' Pan Zheng's daughter, Pan Meiqing, is by his side too. Haha, the two major beauties in the alchemist circle are all his; he hasn't left any room for us at all."

Although the cultivators present felt envious, jealous, and hateful, they remained restrained, unlike the people in online live streams who were anything but calm.

"Outrageous! Qin Yurou is one thing, but even the voluptuous Pan Meiqing, resembling a bombshell combat vehicle, is with him! It's unbearable!"

"Haha, Shen Qiang has hit the jackpot. Among numerous alchemists such as Chu Xiaotian and many on the Top Hundred Alchemist List joined Heshenghe. Who knows about ten years later, but within these ten years, Heshenghe's power is surely above first-class sects, not weaker, and possibly stronger than top-tier families and sects!"

"Indeed, I have never seen such a comprehensive sect; three hundred Great Demons, cultivators from Qingyun Sword Pavilion alone are two to three hundred, plus so many alchemists, its overall capability has no shortcomings, it's simply unprecedented in the cultivation world."

Compared to those good opinions about Heshenghe.

A larger portion were striving for mental balance.

"Heshenghe is indeed powerful now, but Qingyun Sword Pavilion has its own motives, these alchemists have theirs. Although Heshenghe seems prosperous, it might not be united."

"Exactly, with so many cultivators joining, can Shen Qiang manage it?"

"In alchemy, Shen Qiang is undoubtedly first, but in other aspects, I'm unsure. The demons might have no second thoughts, but I can't say the same for these cultivators and alchemists."

People were bustling with thoughts, too many diverse ideas.

Shen Qiang was in a hurry, needing to return to Heshenghe overnight because it was already arranged to meet Qingyun Sword Pavilion members the next day.

So, he couldn't pay attention to other people's thoughts at all.

Moreover, the most crucial matters boiled down to two things. One, Qin Yurou would go to Heshenghe in a week.

At that time, Shen Qiang will be responsible for hosting her.

Afterwards, since they were a Daoist couple, they could cultivate together with a justified reason.

As for Pan Meiqing, she, similarly, planned to stay.

Finding her biological father, she decided to stay by Pan Zheng's side for a week, and thus wouldn't accompany Shen Qiang back.

Because of this, the returning team's numbers decreased by two.

One was the immensely powerful, could kick the Sea Demon King flying with one foot, the old steward Gui Shu.

The other was Illusion Demolition Group member, Dao Fruit Stage cultivator Pan Meiqing.

Therefore, the accompanying personnel now included only Ji Wei, the big swordsman, Zhan Deyuan, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, and the cute and charming Ye Guyun.

This way, the overall strength definitely dropped significantly; after all, only Gui Shu, who could truly contribute in combat, could match against thousands.

Arrange for Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu to transfer three-thousandths of transaction amounts into Medicine King Valley's account.

After all, this is the usual practice at Dan Medicine conferences.

It's certainly impossible for Shen Qiang to not contribute anything when Medicine King Valley hosts the conference, with so many people eating, drinking, and earning big bucks here. If he did this, how could he attend future Dan Medicine conferences?

Moreover, if he really didn't contribute anything, Medicine King Valley might not say anything, but if Thirty-two Skillful Hands followed suit, it would really be unfair to Medicine King Valley.

So these matters must be handled properly.

After handling all these affairs.

The sky had completely darkened.

After dinner, Shen Qiang formally got up to bid farewell.

All sect leaders from various sects present stood up to see him off, their enthusiasm was beyond words.

"Shen Medicine King, please do come visit Kunlun when you have free time."

"Absolutely, definitely."

"Shen Medicine King, Emei Sword Pavilion welcomes you anytime."

"Yes, yes, Heshenghe also invites everyone to visit."

"Shen Qiang, come visit Long Chang if you get a chance, I'll show you the strongest artifact refiner."

"Certainly."

"Darling, remember, visit Baihua Palace when you get the chance."

"Definitely, absolutely!"

Compared to the initial neglect he faced, Shen Qiang now seemed like the center of attention, almost all sect leaders, even those unable to converse, accompanied him, escorting Shen Qiang out of Medicine King Valley.

When the endless pleasantries concluded with the saying 'All banquets eventually end', Shen Qiang led everyone onto the vehicle, leaving Medicine King Valley.

Almost simultaneously, the overweight man watching Shen Qiang from afar, connected to the Abyss, said over the phone: "Shen Qiang has left, proceed as planned."

"Understood!"

The reply on the other end was full of lethal intent.
