Chapter 2106 - 2109: The Stunning Movie Queen's Surprise—Gong Ziyi Gets a Smack in the Face and Explodes with Rage

For a moment, not only Shen Qiang was stunned, but the stunning actress Song Weiyin was also stunned. All the cultivators present and those watching this through live broadcasts across the entire Cultivation World were equally stunned.

"Shen Qiang, you are the Medicine King, a person of high status and power, with overwhelming capabilities. Developing a new Elixir Pill is a simple matter for you," Yu Xinghuo said. "But for ordinary Alchemists, it's not easy to develop new medicines, is it?"

"Moreover, most of your pact is just nonsense," Yu Xinghuo said mercilessly. "History always repeats itself; there is nothing new under the sun. Using miscellaneous pills to make money is what Alchemists have always done. Even if you don't say it, every Alchemist knows it."

"But you, using the status of Medicine King, forcefully demand that the profits from life-saving pills should not be doubled. This damages the interests of too many Alchemists. Forgive me for not agreeing, because many Alchemists lack the ability to innovate. They rely on a few life-saving Pill Recipes handed down from their ancestors to make a living."

"The collection of materials for Elixir Pills is not easy, and many are hard to come by. Some herbs even need to be stored for decades or centuries before they can be used. So much money is tied up there, and with a single sentence, you cut the Alchemists' income. Even if you speak to the Jade Emperor, this matter is indefensible."

"Therefore, on behalf of all Heshenghe Pill Alliance Alchemists, except for you, we oppose, reject, and express anger against this pact. If you need written confirmation of this matter, here is a joint letter from the Pill Alliance Alchemists, signed by every one of them."

Saying this, Yu Xinghuo stood up, placed the thick joint letter on Shen Qiang's desk, and said, "Please take a look."

This made Shen Qiang surprised, his eyes filled with some doubt.

But almost instantly, sitting opposite the stunning actress Song Weiyin and watching the live broadcast, Gong Ziyi went berserk. He slammed his tea cup onto the laptop, breaking it, and then roared in fury, "Shen Qiang! You shameless rogue! You won today, but we shall see!"

With that said, without looking at the smiling Song Weiyin, he turned and left.

Song Weiyin was astonished, not understanding what medicine Gong Ziyi was trying to sell in his gourd.

But the female assistant standing next to her couldn't help but laugh, and after Gong Ziyi left in a fit of rage, she lowered her voice and laughed, "If it weren't for Yu Xinghuo's opposition, Shen Qiang's pact would just be a performance. But with the entire Heshenghe Pill Alliance standing against Shen Qiang, it means the nature of this matter has changed. If the Cultivation World doesn't stand by Shen Qiang at this moment, wanting life-saving Elixir Pills to be priced lower will become a joke."

Instantly, the stunning actress Song Weiyin was shocked and said, "Was this arranged?"

"Doesn't seem like it," the female assistant laughed. "Even if it were Shen Qiang, and even you, it would be hard to perform the shock, amazement, and disappointment so vividly in that moment. So rest assured, Shen Qiang's plan worked, otherwise, Gong Ziyi wouldn't have been so furious. It's the first time I've seen him, known for his smile while killing, so out of sorts."

Hearing this, the stunning actress Song Weiyin couldn't help but take out her phone, enter the live stream, and, looking at Shen Qiang who was seriously reading the joint letter, she gave a charming smile and said, "Go for it, I know you are the best."

Meanwhile, outside the studio, Gong Ziyi's face was flushed red as he shouted, "Shen Qiang! I will never let you go! I will never let you go! You bastard, using the opportunity to turn the tides against me, making me lose face in front of Song Weiyin, I will not forgive you, I absolutely will not forgive you!"

An old man next to him sighed at this and said, "Young master, please calm down. Your plan was flawless, and the bait you threw out was a huge benefit no one could refuse. Under normal circumstances, this game was a sure win for you."

"Because with Shen Qiang's intelligence, he definitely didn't see through your intentions. It's that this guy, loving to show off, values reputation more than money, that's why he luckily escaped this disaster."

"Really?" Gong Ziyi asked suspiciously, "Are you sure Shen Qiang didn't see through my methods and was just lucky?"

The old man smiled and said, "The young master's hand is unbeatable and has been so for years. This time, failing to trap Shen Qiang is actually a good thing. After all, failure is the mother of success. The most interesting thing in life is having an opponent who can match you evenly, right?"

"Moreover, in this battle, although Shen Qiang avoided the risk and achieved great success, we also have not been without gains. At the very least, we discovered three points: First, compared to money, Shen Qiang values reputation more, which probably has to do with him not lacking money. Secondly, Shen Qiang's expressions didn't seem fake; he genuinely didn't know about the joint actions of Yu Xinghuo and the Pill Alliance, which means he does not get along with the Pill Alliance. The real person in charge of Heshenghe Pill Alliance is Yu Xinghuo."

"Thirdly, Shen Qiang's good luck, and your failure, was simply due to insufficient intelligence. You didn't know Yu Xinghuo and the Pill Alliance would oppose this matter. Otherwise, if precautions were taken early, Shen Qiang would have shot himself in the foot."

"All things considered, young master, please calm down. No one's luck is always good. If you really fight it out, you are sure to win. Shen Qiang, who doesn't even know what his own people think, will never be your opponent."

Hearing this, Gong Ziyi's expression calmed down considerably.

Seeing he seemed to have calmed down, the old man said, "Do you... want to go back and accompany Song Weiyin?"

"No!" Gong Ziyi said angrily, "I can't afford to lose face. What Shen Qiang did is completely unrelated to what I talked about. I say one thing, and Shen Qiang gives me a slap. That's not all; what's most painful is that through this matter, I can tell Song Weiyin seems to admire Shen Qiang more. And if I go back now, Song Weiyin will definitely make sarcastic remarks."

Hearing this, the old man helplessly said, "Alright then, it's better to see Song Weiyin another day."

"Let's go!" Gong Ziyi looked back at the studio with resentment and said, "Enjoy your moment, Shen Qiang, but you won't be happy for long!"

Almost at the same time as Gong Ziyi left.

In the grand conference room of Heshenghe, sitting on the stage was the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Qin Yongquan, who acutely noticed the fleeting joy and pride in Yu Xinghuo's eyes and couldn't help but smilingly transmit his thoughts to Pan Zheng, saying, "The Cultivation World is full of tricks. This Yu Xinghuo, in order to help Shen Qiang, really spares no effort, using every trick in the book. So I wonder, you, my friend, should perhaps make some contributions too."
