Chapter 1928 - 1931: The Strongest Support Is Yourself
Shocked! Everyone present was stunned as they looked at Lord Chi Yan. The enchanting Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei gazed at Shen Qiang with ecstasy. Her heart was not only pounding, but she also clenched her fists nervously."What a joyful event! A truly joyful event! This Lord Chi Yan is a peak powerhouse in the Harmonization stage! If he takes another step forward, he would become a Mahayana Earth Immortal. With such immense cultivation, he would be revered as an ancestor in any sect. If he joins Heshenghe, Shen Qiang would be like a tiger with wings!"
Not only was she elated at this moment, but Qin Yurou, hiding on the second floor, also had her eyes light up instantly.
"Lord Chi Yan, known for his fiery temper, is recognized as a virtuous gentleman in the Cultivation World. Over six decades, he has left numerous legends. I grew up listening to his tales!"
However, more shocked than them were the other big shots present.
Bai Shiyi's eyes burst with a cold glint.
"There aren't many reclusive experts at the Harmonization stage, and this Lord Chi Yan is explosively powerful. If Heshenghe gains him, it would be unstoppable!"
The acting Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect, Baili Qingyu, felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
"This Lord Chi Yan, with exceptional strength and mastered Fire Element Techniques, has immense destructive power and is someone no one in the Cultivation World would want to provoke. If he joins Heshenghe, then avenging Sect Leader Ma would be impossible."
With this thought in mind, the acting Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect, Baili Qingyu, quickly stood up and loudly interrupted: "Elder Chi Yan, you must not act rashly. You are a renowned figure in the Cultivation World; how can you join Heshenghe? You must understand that Heshenghe is a sect of demons, not the righteous path!"
Upon hearing his words, Ji Liangyuan, who had maintained a cold demeanor since Ji Liangchuan's appearance, immediately stood up and supportively said: "Indeed, as the saying goes, proximity to virtue leads to virtue, and proximity to evil leads to evil. Elder Chi Yan, you are a man of reputation, and you must act prudently."
"True, Shen Qiang's character and medical skill are commendable, but Elder Chi Yan, you hold a venerated position in the Cultivation World; how can you join Heshenghe and associate with demons?" the Golden Top Resident from Emei nervously said.
Listening to their words, Lord Chi Yan, lying on the stretcher, sharply raised his brows and sternly replied: "Silence! All you talk about is demons and heresy. Without Shen Qiang, I would have been dead already. You virtuous gentlemen, you orthodox cultivators, how have you acted?"
"My destiny is not for you to dictate!" Having said that, Lord Chi Yan looked at Shen Qiang and asked, "If the Family Head Shen does not despise my incompetence, please allow me to join Heshenghe! I will surely dedicate myself to the Shen Family, bowing diligently until my last breath!"
Hearing these words, Shen Qiang glanced mockingly at the ashen-faced Baili Qingyu and Ji Liangyuan, then smiled and said: "Gifts from elders are not to be declined. On behalf of Heshenghe, I welcome Elder Chi Yan to join us. Once you recover completely, a banquet will be arranged in celebration!"
"Very well, thank you, Family Head!" Lord Chi Yan laughed heartily.
Seeing this situation and realizing they could no longer change it, the big shots' expressions were varied, but their gazes towards Shen Qiang became awe-struck.
"Heshenghe, with its three hundred Great Demons, already possesses formidable combat power. With the addition of the Heshenghe Pill Alliance, it holds an extraordinary position in the Cultivation World. Now, with a titan like Lord Chi Yan joining, the rise of Heshenghe is clearly unstoppable!"
"Shen Qiang's Heshenghe now has all the necessary elements; it's just a matter of time before it becomes a ruler!"
"The elixirs of Shen Qiang are unparalleled. Now that they have resources and might, with time, perhaps the entire Cultivation World will have to cater to him. If that's the case, why not build good relations now?"
Thinking this, Baili Qingyu's expression suddenly shifted to a smile as he earnestly congratulated: "Congratulations, Family Head Shen, on acquiring Elder Chi Yan; such a blessed event deserves a grand toast!"
Upon hearing his words, the Golden Top Resident from Emei suddenly smiled and said, "Congratulations, Family Head Shen, congratulations, Elder Chi Yan!"
Seeing through their intentions in an instant, Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei charmingly smiled and said, "Shen Qiang, hurry up and thank these two. They represent Emei and Kunlun, looking to mend relations with you."
"Thank you, both," Shen Qiang laughed.
At this moment, seeing Emei and Kunlun extending goodwill first, the many big shots from the Cultivation World present grew anxious, quickly standing up, with congratulatory voices continuously filling the air. Not only did those present feel the impact, but the countless cultivators in the live broadcast room were also emotionally stirred.
"Our king is awesome! Did you see, Lord Chi Yan! He's a true legend in the Cultivation World, dominating for over sixty years!"
"I just chuckle at these big shots. They thought they were something, always so smug, looking down on Shen Qiang, but now that Shen Qiang has shown his cards—the Heshenghe Pill Alliance and Lord Chi Yan—everything's changed. Look at their congratulatory smiles now, and how they… never mind."
"Haha, cultivators are just people; they're no different from ordinary folk. When you're poor and have nothing, people look down on you, acting superior even when you don't ask them for anything. But see now, when Shen Qiang has influence and resources, suddenly they change their tune."
"It's so realistic! I thought these major sects were dead set on opposing Shen Qiang to the end, but at the turn of a hat, they're now offering congratulations."
"Indeed, look at those big shots, congratulating Master Shen. Not only are they smiling widely, but their faces are full of creases from laughing."
"Ultimately, it boils down to this: one has to be strong. Even if you don't help him, give him a penny, he still thinks you're great. If you're not, even if you offer your heart, they'll still despise you."
"Yes, which is why Master Shen's words are spot on. In life, your greatest support is yourself. Think about it; when Shen Qiang first appeared in the Cultivation World, who paid attention to him? Now look again, hmph. Unconvinced? Fine!"
The cultivators discussed fervently amidst the shock.
Meanwhile, in the arena, after a round of courteous exchanges with the sect leaders, it was evident that Lord Chi Yan needed proper rest for a swift recovery.
Therefore, Shen Qiang borrowed Bai Shiyi's airplane to send Lord Chi Yan to the Heshenghe Employee Hospital, as it was more convenient for care there and also helped Lord Chi Yan familiarize himself with Heshenghe.
After arranging everything, once Lord Chi Yan left, everyone's excitement gradually subsided, and the elixir pill review was set to resume.
At this moment, standing on the sidelines, and uncertain whether to stay or leave with no one acknowledging him, Chu Xiaotian suddenly burst into laughter.
As everyone looked at him in surprise.
Chu Xiaotian laughed wildly, "Great, great! Your elixirs are impressive, Shen Qiang, but now the elixirs are gone, what do you have left to brag about? Eliminated! Serves you right!"
