Chapter 2103 - 2106: The Admiration of the Stunning Film Empress

Thousands of miles away, Gong Ziyi watched the scene unfold through the live stream and smiled at the stunning actress, Song Weiyin, who was held by his threat and couldn't leave: "Here it comes, Shen Qiang's Alchemist Pact is just a ploy for alchemists to join hands to make money. I am not mistaken. Next, you will see Shen Qiang's ugly side."

The stunning actress, Song Weiyin, had a gloomy expression. Despite feeling uneasy inside, she insisted, "The Shen Qiang I know is wise, humorous, and domineering, but deep down, he's filled with a sense of justice. He's nothing like you said."

"The truth will show you that I am the one who's right, far smarter than Shen Qiang." Gong Ziyi smirked.

At this moment, on the live broadcast screen, upon hearing Shen Qiang's intention to discuss the pact, Yu Xinghuo, who was seated at the podium, suddenly stood up and interjected: "Alliance Hierarch, since this is of great importance, please think thrice! You must not act against the consensus of the world!"

Seeing the somewhat anxious look in Yu Xinghuo's eyes, Gong Ziyi became even more smug and said, "Oh, did you see that? Even Shen Qiang's own people disagree with his reckless actions. Weiyin, you should understand now how greedy and detestable he is!"

The actress, Song Weiyin, furrowed her brows. Her stunning face, although cold as ice, was still as beautiful as a person in a painting.

"Vice Alliance Hierarch Yu, please calm down and take a seat. Doing something that everyone in the world perceives as wrong requires not only courage but also strength. I am the Medicine King, an Alchemist and a cultivator, who has been given the respect deserved. So, I, Shen Qiang, naturally should take responsibility."

"Alliance Hierarch!" Yu Xinghuo's tone was full of admonition.

"Sit down!" Shen Qiang ordered sternly.

Witnessing this, Gong Ziyi sneered, "Indeed, driven by greed, Shen Qiang is now too inflated to remember his own surname. Watch, once he spills it, he'll be finished. A fool who only knows how to make money will surely be ridiculed for a lifetime."

Song Weiyin remained silent, her expression equally grave as she watched the scene in the live stream. Actually, to Song Weiyin, she just thought Shen Qiang was a great man and had never considered his goodness or evilness.

But now, Gong Ziyi's words made her ponder seriously.

After all, if Xu Nan and Bai Jiao were kicked aside by Shen Qiang, how could she be an exception?

At that moment, appearing on the live stream, Shen Qiang noticed Yu Xinghuo no longer opposed him but smiled at the people and said calmly, "The Alchemist Pact I've proposed is lengthy, but my secretary has stipulated that the discussion on this matter cannot exceed ten minutes."

"So I'll keep it brief." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and continued, "In the Cultivation World, all cultivators know that the status of an alchemist is exalted, and that exalted status is for no other reason than an alchemist's pills can save lives when a cultivator's life is threatened."

"This results in elixirs being astonishingly expensive in the Cultivation World, with five-times profits being quite ordinary, and some urgently needed elixirs even fetching over a hundred times profits. This leads to life-saving elixirs not truly being in the hands of those in need but simply residing in the safes of the wealthy."

"Given this situation has persisted for a long time, the core agreement of the Alchemist Pact consists of only two points. The first point is that all life-saving elixirs' profit must be below 100%. Any alchemist that uses any excuse to profiteer from life-saving medicine will face severe punishment from the Alchemist Pact Committee!"

In an instant, Gong Ziyi froze, his face turning pale.

And beside him, the stunning actress Song Weiyin not only had her eyes light up instantly but was also overjoyed not only did she spontaneously join the applause with the present audience.

Moreover, the barrage of comments on the computer screen in front of Song Weiyin made her heart bloom with joy.

"Awesome! Just for what Shen Qiang said, even if he took in Fairy Qin and Pan Meiqing, I wouldn't blame him; who doesn't have shortcomings or selfish motives? Just for him daring to stand up for us ordinary cultivators after becoming the Medicine King, I respect him!"

"True kindness is not about whether one follows the rules but about what they actually do. If the price of life-saving elixirs can really come down, Shen Qiang would not just benefit one area, the entire Cultivation World would benefit!"

"Refreshing! What Shen Qiang did is deeply satisfying!"

Seeing those comments, with her lips curled into a smile and her beautiful eyes ridiculing, the stunning actress Song Weiyin looked at Gong Ziyi beside her and smiled, "Sir, this is what you called despicable and shameless? Do you really think I, Song Weiyin, am an idiot, who can't tell the difference between good, evil, beauty, and ugliness?"

For a moment, Gong Ziyi's face grew ugly, his fleshy cheeks trembling with anger.

"Shen Qiang is acting recklessly."

The stunning Song Weiyin smiled, "Yes, because he's stupid, you are far smarter than he is."

In an instant, Gong Ziyi's face turned liver-colored, but then he said sternly.

"Song Weiyin! Enough is enough! I admit, I somewhat underestimated this Shen Qiang, but don't think Shen Qiang's flashy move will succeed; in fact, cutting off someone's financial gains is worse than severing a familial bond. By doing so, he's bound to displease those alchemists. Humph, I think his reign as Medicine King is coming to an end."

Song Weiyin smiled, "Whether he's the Medicine King or not doesn't matter; I don't care. I just like that stupidity of his, just like his dominance."

Gong Ziyi, on the verge of grinding his teeth to pieces with anger, shouted, "You still think this is good? Shen Qiang's pact harms all alchemists—he's sowing the seeds of disaster for himself and will end up with nowhere to die."

Song Weiyin laughed charmingly, "Fine, even if it's Hell, I'm willing to accompany him."

Meanwhile.

On the live stream, at Shen Qiang's gesture, the enthusiastic applause quieted down.

"I have finished discussing the first point, and the applause is warm, but I note that none of the alchemists present applauded. I believe that those hearing all this through the live stream might be drawing circles to curse me."

The audience burst into laughter.

Shen Qiang also laughed, "However, I believe that proposing this pact is the right thing to do. If a life-saving Pill can't be used for saving a life, and is instead kept in a box like a treasure, what meaning does it hold?"

The people present all nodded.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang changed the subject and continued, "As for the second point regarding the Alchemist Pact, it's to encourage alchemists to use their skills to develop new elixir pills. Honestly, many alchemists are living off a few ancestral Pill Recipes without striving for improvement. From my personal standpoint, I believe such alchemists should be eliminated."
