Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1946 - 1949: Admired by All

Pan Zheng's eyes were filled with pride, and both the Golden Top Hermit and Kunlun Sword Sect's acting sect leader Baili Qingyu immediately fell silent. After all, achieving the status of a sect leader, acting leader, or representative of a faction attending such public gatherings, which one isn't shrewd?While Pan Zheng discreetly invited animosity towards Shen Qiang, he simultaneously subtly put Medicine King Valley in a tough spot. This act wasn't honorable, but it was difficult for others to criticize, as at least on the surface, Pan Zheng seemed well-intentioned.

Just then, a dignified middle-aged man stood up in the hall and respectfully said, "Pan Leader is right, Shen Medicine King is benevolent and dedicates his life to healing the world. The Calamity Relief Golden Pill saves tens of thousands of lives a year. So, it's worth waiting for him momentarily, even if it's for several days."

This cultivator's words immediately stunned Pan Zheng.

At the same time, another cultivator said, "Shen Medicine King's contribution is not merely in refining life-saving elixir pills. The pricing of his pills clearly shows that he did it to save lives, not for profit. This act is beyond great virtue; it's practically being a living Buddha for the Wan Family! So, without Shen Medicine King, how can we start the feast?"

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators present immediately became serious.

"Well said. Shen Qiang, Shen Medicine King, though we misunderstood him before, as the saying goes, 'Time reveals a person's heart.' Without mentioning anything else, just by Shen Medicine King daring to price the Calamity Relief Golden Pill at as low as three million, we're willing to wait for however long it takes!"

"Exactly, Shen Medicine King dedicates himself to saving lives with the Calamity Relief Golden Pill. In this, we truly can't help. But, if we can't even wait a moment for him, can such words be justified?"

"That's right, Shen Medicine King constantly thinks about healing and saving lives, which is a great virtue. A true man doesn't worry over trifles. We can't just ignore Shen Medicine King because he's a little late!"

The words of these few people instantly resonated with many cultivators.

"Indeed, we should start the feast whenever Shen Medicine King arrives; otherwise, my conscience won't allow it!"

"Yes, we'll wait as long as it takes. Without Shen Medicine King, how can we start the feast?"

"Exactly, Shen Medicine King benefits all beings, which we can't achieve, but we can offer him the most basic respect!"

"Right, without Shen Medicine King, whoever suggests starting the feast will be against us!"

The collective words made Pan Zheng's face turn awkward.

"Oh, Pan Leader, did you see that?"

Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei said with a charming smile, "Shen Medicine King is not an average person. Typically, being waited on invites resentment, but Shen Qiang, Shen Medicine King, is a widely revered figure. Did you hear? Without Shen Qiang, they won't allow the feast to start. Forcing the feast would provoke public outrage!"

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley also smiled, teasing Pan Zheng, "The hospitality is irresistible. With everyone showing such respect to Shen Qiang, how could I possibly let them down?"

Watching his seemingly flawless plan to create discord not only fail, but instead enhance Shen Qiang's prestige meant it was unlikely to damage Shen Qiang's reputation further. After all, Shen Qiang's actions were well-regarded.

Cultivators may not be widely known or hold high status, but they're not foolish. A divine-grade elixir, capable of altering fate, priced at three million is unheard of in the cultivation world.

Is Shen Qiang foolish?

A single Closed Moon Breathtaking Flower Pill sells for over a billion, yet this life-saving pill is priced so low. What else could it be for than to ensure those who truly need it aren't prevented by cost?

So now, with the situation set, trying to diminish Shen Qiang's influence through slander is basically a lost cause.

Understanding this well, Pan Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, precisely, everyone's thoughts align with mine."

Upon hearing these words, Weisheng Zhimei got a bit annoyed, but Pan Zheng's comment was flawless since he initially suggested waiting for Shen Qiang.

He's as slippery as a mudfish, trying to catch his weakness is akin to climbing to impossible heights.

Just then.

The sound of footsteps came from the restaurant's entrance.

Then, everyone present could clearly see Shen Qiang, wearing a handmade yet exquisitely tailored casual outfit, alongside the stunning Qin Yurou, both appearing at the restaurant's entrance.

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley instinctively frowned, then checked his watch.

Six o'clock and fifty-two seconds.

This immediately calmed his previously irate mind.

Shen Qiang is punctual!

After all, it wasn't yet six-oh-one, so Shen Qiang's appearance at this time couldn't be considered late.

"Shen Medicine King! Qin Fairy!"

Upon seeing the duo in a moment.

The entire restaurant's cultivators rose with a resounding cheer.

"Greetings to the Medicine King!"

"Greetings to Shen Qiang, the King!"

"Greetings to Shen Medicine King, Qin Fairy!"

The numerous cultivators stood up, regardless of familiarity, as long as they were in Shen Qiang's line of sight, they all greeted with smiles.

Shen Qiang smiled and nodded in response.

Seeing the numerous cultivators present gazing at Shen Qiang with respect, even the prominent figures in attendance couldn't help but rise.

In such a situation, it wouldn't look good to remain seated when everyone else stood up.

Pan Zheng's eyes were solemn, increasingly feeling that the Thirty-two Skillful Hands would struggle to impact Shen Qiang's standing.

But not far from him stood Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei, whose beautiful eyes were filled with joy, and a charming smile adorned her face, radiating happiness.

Moreover, the Valley Master saw Qin Yurou shyly accompanying Shen Qiang, filled with pride, also quite pleased.

Especially as they passed by the Heshenghe members' location, Ke Bizhu, Purple, and Ye Guyun were filled with delightful surprise, their eyes brimming with pride.

After all, Shen Qiang's prestige brought them face and honor too.

"Shen Medicine King, please be seated!" Kunlun Sword Sect's acting sect leader Baili Qingyu said with a cheerful smile, "All the cultivators present have been waiting for you. If you hadn't come, they strongly demanded not to start the feast!"

Shen Qiang quickly smiled and said, "I'm flattered. Thank you all for your kindness."

"Shen Medicine King dedicates himself to healing and saving lives, please be seated." The Golden Top Hermit also offered a beaming smile.

Only Ji Liangchuan, having replaced Ji Liangyuan, subtly smiled and said, "Thanks to Shen Medicine King's blessings, my fourth brother has returned."

Shen Qiang smiled and greeted him.

"Then you should place more orders."

"No problem." Ji Liangchuan replied with a smile.

After the greetings, everyone sat down.

Qin Yurou sat to the left of the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Shen Qiang sat to the left of Qin Yurou, and on Shen Qiang's left was the charming and beautiful Baihua Palace Master.

The stunning Qin Fairy and the mesmerizing Baihua Palace Master, two great beauties on either side.

It was heavenly satisfaction.

"Wow, Shen Medicine King has quite the luck with romance, Weisheng Zhimei, Qin Yurou, tsk tsk, if I could sit between these two beauties in this kind of setting, it would be worth dying for."

"You couldn't sit even if you died! Compared to Shen Medicine King, can you?"

"So envious, so jealous, but what else can we do, since we simply can't compare to Shen Medicine King."

"Yes, beauties like Baihua Palace Master and Qin Fairy are only accessible to strong figures like Shen Medicine King with high status. As for us, we shouldn't even dream about it."
