Chapter 2371 - 2374: Settling Matters Without Showing Up Like a True Boss

The moment An Bu Xiu Ju spoke, the others present fell silent, but the pride of the heavens, Chu Xiaotian, snorted coldly, stood up, and retorted, "I don't know if anyone in this world can owe Shen Qiang a debt, and I don't care!"

"I only know that our original agreement was just to stay in Heshenghe for ten years. There were no stipulations on how long we have to work here each day, nor how many elixir pills we must refine, so drop that domineering attitude of yours and let Shen Qiang come out."

An Bu Xiu Ju raised an eyebrow coldly at these words.

"Many want to see Shen Qiang, but he doesn't have time for some nobodies."

Instantly, the other alchemists present burst into laughter.

Chu Xiaotian, pride of the heavens, immediately blushed with rage.

"How dare you! Am I, Chu Xiaotian, some nobody?"

Xiu Ju's eyes were icy as she said, "Whether you're a nobody or not, don't you have a sense of it in your heart?"

Chu Xiaotian raged, "Let Shen Qiang come out! This despicable and shameless man actually sent a subordinate to humiliate me, what kind of skill is that? Coward, if you dare, come out and duel in alchemy with me! They took our phones, cut us off from the outside world, and exploited us, what kind of skill is that?"

Upon hearing this, the other alchemists present immediately started clamoring.

"Yeah, we've refined so many pills these days, it's almost as much as three years' worth of work, this is intolerable!"

"I don't mind refining pills, but I want money!"

"Give us the processing fee, then we can talk, no processing fee, no way, even if the king of heaven comes, don't expect us to refine pills!"

In the midst of the shouting alchemists, An Bu Xiu Ju spoke coldly, "I've heard what you said, and I understand your meaning clearly, but before I speak with you, I feel it's necessary to show you a video."

An Bu Xiu Ju's words left the alchemists present in shock,

because their phones had been confiscated, and they had no idea what had recently happened at Heshenghe.

"Where's Shen Qiang?" An even more domineering presence than Chu Xiaotian, Gong Ziyi, entered the scene.

The entire conference room full of alchemists instantly erupted.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable! Underground Emperor, Abyss Noble Son! This is a super powerhouse, even the Peak Twelve have to give him face, he's here to trouble Shen Qiang, Shen Qiang is definitely bowing, no wonder Shen Qiang isn't showing up, he's probably been beaten up, right!"

"My heavens! It's him, the Funeral Director! His power is explosively strong, with him targeting Shen Qiang, he's probably done for!"

"Shen Qiang is finished, encountering the Abyss Noble Son, even an immortal would find it hard to escape!"

But then, when Shen Qiang appeared.

The alchemists present were instantly shocked.

"My heavens, is Shen Qiang crazy? Alchemists are formidable in medicine but weak in combat power, when fighting, they're always beaten by martial cultivators, let alone the Abyss Noble Son, even an ordinary martial cultivator of the same realm isn't someone an alchemist can beat, Shen Qiang is courting death!"

"Haha, Shen Qiang, that little schemer, how dare he compete with the Abyss Noble Son?"

"Shen Qiang's really swelling with pride, he's on track to get beaten to death."

But just as they were forming judgments about Shen Qiang, in a moment.

When they saw Gong Ziyi's Dao Fruit, the Funeral Demon God, crumble with a flick of Shen Qiang's nonchalant smile, their expressions were shocked as if a large coconut had been stuffed into their mouths, leaving them agape.

"No wonder he's the Medicine King, I said, how can there be anyone an alchemist can't save, hahaha, Shen Qiang, the Medicine King, is amazing, even Gong Ziyi can't win, we lost and have nothing to be ashamed of, right, hahaha."

"Yes, yes, makes sense, it's not that we're incapable, see, even Gong Ziyi couldn't do it."

"Exactly, exactly, Gong Ziyi's so formidable, yet he couldn't handle the Medicine King Shen Qiang, it's only natural we lost, there's no shame in it, much better than those who don't even dare to compete with Shen Qiang, right?"

Their thoughts shifted rapidly.

But soon.

When they saw Shen Qiang's lightning-fast figure in the rain, and the rising snow mist, their eyes gradually filled with shock, especially when Shen Qiang's group exploded Gong Ziyi's retainers one by one, they could no longer sit still.

As the video played to the part where Taiyin Youying forced back Gong Ziyi's grandfather with a single strike.

The entire conference room was utterly silent, as for the later scene of the Dragon Group War God's appearance.

All the alchemists turned pale.

Joking aside, who is the Dragon Group War God?

The guardian of Huaxia, the unquestioned leader of the Dragon Group.

Let alone these alchemists, even among the Peak Twelve, who would dare act arrogantly before him?

And this person is Shen Qiang's martial arts teacher!

After the video ended,

The lights in the conference room came on.

An Bu Xiu Ju, her face cold, said, "The boss of Heshenghe is a reasonable person, who always leads with virtue, so the rule is, all alchemists work five days a week, eight hours a day. When you need to work overtime, there will be a processing fee, the amount depends on the situation. Now alchemists who agree, nod and then leave here to pick up your phones outside, those who disagree, stay, because the boss leads with virtue, those who are not convinced must be dead."

Hearing An Bu Xiu Ju's words, nearly a hundred alchemists present instantly turned pale.

"Don't be afraid, she's trying to scare us, we are alchemists, esteemed in status, no matter how formidable Shen Qiang is, he wouldn't dare do anything to us!" Chu Xiaotian, pride of the heavens, paled, but still put on a brave front.

An Bu Xiu Ju smiled slightly, lifting an eyebrow coldly, "I'm not Qin Yurou, so don't act rashly in front of me."

With An Bu Xiu Ju's words, two especially chosen Great Demons of Heshenghe entered menacingly.

Chu Xiaotian, pride of the heavens, face turned pale, "You wouldn't dare touch me."

"You really think so?"

An Bu Xiu Ju's smile, at this moment, was chilling enough to make Chu Xiaotian's hair stand on end.

Meanwhile, the other alchemists present, not just silent, had a hint of fear flickering in their eyes.

"This is going south, Shen Qiang's so formidable, he even blew Gong Ziyi away, and killing Gong Ziyi's cultivators was like squashing a bug, what are we worth? Do we think our status is more esteemed than Gong Ziyi's?"

"Any sect in the cultivation world, even just any renowned figure rising to prominence, wasn't it achieved with blood on their hands and bones underfoot? Working five days a week, it's like a normal job, nothing too hard to accept, we should honor the bet and accept the outcome!"

"Sigh, Shen Qiang doesn't even care about Gong Ziyi's face, trying to welch on his account is seeking death. Let's go, back to work!"

With these thoughts, the alchemists stood up one after another.

"We agree to this arrangement."

And then, wordlessly, they walked out, leaving only Chu Xiaotian, pride of the heavens.

"No one can welch on Shen Qiang's account, it's just you left now, make your decision." An Bu Xiu Ju's smile was chilling to the bone.

Chu Xiaotian, pride of the heavens, instinctively wanted to say something strong, but seeing Xiu Ju and those two murderous Great Demons, he hesitated and said, "I'm a man of honor, it was all a misunderstanding before, I'm going to work, I'm passionate about alchemy, to work for Shen Medicine King is my honor."
