Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1947 - 1950: Confirmation, the Mystery of Zise's Origins!

Amidst the envy of the crowd, Shen Qiang sat between the stunning Fairy Qin Yurou and the dazzling Baihua Palace Master. Immediately, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley announced the beginning of the feast. A moment later, various delicious dishes filled the table. Then, standing up, the Valley Master smiled, raised a cup, and said in a loud voice: "This first cup of wine, to Shen Qiang, Shen Medicine King!""To Shen Qiang, Shen Medicine King!"

Thousands of cultivators present rose and raised their glasses, respectfully echoing in unison.

This scene was beyond astonishing.

"Oh my god, did you see that?"

The online live stream was exploding with messages.

"Tears are streaming down my face, my Wang Weiwu!"

"So handsome, right? The cultivation world has many capable people, but someone like Shen Qiang, who can make all cultivators cheerfully raise their glasses together in a toast—I've never seen this in my life before."

"Indeed, it's incredible! Simply unimaginable!"

"Cultivators have power that ordinary people cannot reach, so each of them is inherently more arrogant than a common person. Therefore, someone who can earn their respect as such is probably only Shen Qiang. If it were anyone else, such uniform and unanimous toasting would be absolutely impossible!"

Amidst the shock of the crowd, Shen Qiang laughed and joined the cultivators in draining the cup of wine.

Only now could the celebration banquet be considered officially started.

After that, Shen Qiang truly became the sole protagonist of the event.

Although the current Elixir Pills Conference champion is Qin Yurou with her Shattering Star Pill, firstly, she is just a girl, very young and beautiful, and toasting to her seems inappropriate.

But Shen Qiang is different.

A promising young talent.

And also the Medicine King.

Sect Leaders and Elders from all sects and factions approached to toast him. Although they introduced themselves and shook hands, Shen Qiang didn't actually remember any of them.

Because that's just how it is.

It's all about the formality; once that's done, it's over. Even the most brilliant person couldn't possibly remember clearly in such a chaotic situation who is who.

In any case, with Shen Qiang's cultivation now in the Mixed Element Realm, this amount of alcohol is not an issue, so he drains the cup at every occasion.

With all the this and that,

Just drink it all!

The bustling and lively atmosphere continued.

Once all the Sect Leaders and Elders finished their toasts, Shen Qiang finally settled down.

After all, ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare to toast him, as they lack the status.

After completing the round of toasts, the Sect Leaders and Elders left.

At the now quiet table, both Qin Yurou and the Baihua Palace Master had already prepared food for Shen Qiang.

Exquisite delicacies were already in his bowl, and even more so.

The stunning Fairy Qin Yurou used her soft, fair fingers to peel the shells of the food and then smilingly placed them in Shen Qiang's bowl, worried he wouldn't eat enough.

Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei didn't lag behind either.

So even before Shen Qiang could pick up his chopsticks, he noticed a feast already laid before him.

But just as Shen Qiang was smiling.

Pan Zheng, with a smile containing hidden threats, said with intention: "Mr. Shen, now that you are the Medicine King, associating with those riffraff from the Pill Alliance might lower your value."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned.

Then he smiled and said: "Oh, Chief Pan sure seems to have my best interests in mind. However, you and I both know, without their support, let alone being Medicine King, I might have already been expelled by you, so whether my value drops or not is irrelevant. After all, they provided critical help in my time of need."

Changing his tone, Shen Qiang smiled and said: "But Chief Pan, you didn't lend a helping hand when I needed it, and now you talk about this, are you perhaps trying to adorn my success even more?"

Hearing this, Pan Zheng laughed: "Come join the Thirty-two Skillful Hands; I'll let you take over as chief."

Shen Qiang laughed: "Not interested. Moreover, I'm not the kind of person to just sit back and let others slap me in the face. If I were to call for vengeance against the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, people would think I, Shen Qiang, have a narrow mind and small heart."

"But all that you did before, I'm well aware of. Since you did it, it's only fair I remember it, right? So going forward, we'll see in the cultivation world whether the Thirty-two Skillful Hands are mightier, or if the Pill Alliance is stronger. Only time will tell."

Looking at the smiling Shen Qiang, Pan Zheng also smiled: "Young people are always too impulsive, and without some setbacks, they won't turn back."

Shen Qiang's smile turned cold: "If you're not impulsive, can you still be called young? Would I have become Medicine King if I weren't impulsive?"

Hearing this, Pan Zheng laughed and said: "No one can disrupt the market of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands. This fact cannot be changed."

Shen Qiang smiled mildly, took a bite of food, and calmly said: "Just like how without your nod, I couldn't have participated in the Elixir Pills Conference?"

Pan Zheng's face turned a bit unpleasant, and he said: "Young man, many things are just coincidences. It's impossible to repeat them."

"I don't see it that way." Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Behind every coincidence lies inevitability. Do you think the Pill Alliance appeared by chance? I tell you, no, it's inevitable because you, Pan Zheng, covered the sky with one hand, leaving them no other choice."

"Even without me, Shen Qiang, they would have banded together eventually."

Looking at Pan Zheng's livid face, Shen Qiang calmly said: "You think my becoming Medicine King is a coincidence? I tell you again, wrong! In fact, when I could refine the Divine Grade Pei Yuan Pill, you should have known my achievements in the field of elixirs are incomparable to yours, whether or not you admit it. I would inevitably become Medicine King; it was just a matter of time."

Smiling at Pan Zheng, Shen Qiang continued: "The Thirty-two Skillful Hands are too arrogant, setting their elixir prices more than twenty percent higher than the Pill Alliance, and have gotten used to customers coming to them. They won't realize the strength of the Pill Alliance in a short time."

"So there's no need to think about it. From the moment the Pill Alliance appeared, it meant that the era where you, the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, dominated half of the elixir trade is gone forever."

Pan Zheng, hearing these words, said with a grim face: "Shen Medicine King, you oversimplify the relationship between chance and necessity. The Thirty-two Skillful Hands can dominate over half of the transactions in the cultivation world not just because we control the Elixir Pills Conference, but because we focus on reputation, ensure quality, and are honest. If you, Shen Qiang, think that the Pill Alliance can take our business just by low prices, you're too naive."

"I don't think that way." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow. At this moment, his phone rang, so as he picked it up, Shen Qiang said: "Time will prove everything."

"Then bring it on," Pan Zheng smiled.

Meanwhile, upon answering the call, Shen Qiang clearly heard Wenren Meiqiao's voice from the other end.

"I've investigated it for you, and it's indeed as you said. Twenty years ago, the Ye family's girl was indeed with Pan Zheng. She did suffer from cancer but miraculously lived more than a year longer. The specifics were recorded on video and sent to your email, take a look yourself."

After hanging up the call, looking at Pan Zheng's eyes, which appeared cold and as if he intended to defeat him, Shen Qiang put away the phone, glanced at the one secretly watching, who turned away once he looked, and then smiled at Pan Zheng: "After dinner, I want to discuss something with you. Is it convenient for me to come to your place?"
