Chapter 1953 - 1956: Love-Struck Yu Rou and the Stingy Valley Master

In Medicine King Valley, the stunning fairy, Qin Yurou, dressed in a white dress, was half-sitting nervously on the red wooden chair across from the office of Qin Yongquan, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley. Seeing her nervous and shy demeanor, Qin Yongquan sighed helplessly, placed the pen in his hand into the pen holder on the desk, and said:"You little girl, usually, you don't even come to my office once in a year or two. So, Shen Qiang has become the Medicine King, and your heart has flown away? You sent me a message last night, I didn't reply, and this morning you rushed here to block me?"

Qin Yurou's pretty face flushed, and she playfully pouted, "Dad, how can you say such things? I'm here to discuss with you, right? Look, I've been on a break from school for almost two months because of the Elixir Pills conference. After the Medicine King conference ends today, Shen Qiang will leave tonight. We're classmates, it's just convenient..."

Qin Yongquan chuckled, "The saying that a woman's heart is with the outside world is indeed true. Your lying looks so much like when I was young."

"I'm not lying." The beautiful Qin Yurou tried to stay calm.

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley laughed, "Qingyun Sword Pavilion has joined Heshenghe, and a lot of things await Shen Qiang to deal with when he gets back. Then you say you will return to Beijing with him? Isn't that a lie? If you both travel together, the destination must surely be Heshenghe."

Qin Yurou was taken aback, furrowed her brow and hurriedly said, "Dad! I'm not lying, and you said as long as Shen Qiang makes it to the top eight, you won't stop me from dating him. Look, he's now the Medicine King; you can't go back on your word."

Hearing this, the Valley Master, Qin Yongquan, burst out laughing and sighed helplessly.

"It's true; once a girl grows up, you can't keep her close. You want to date him, I don't object, but you must agree to three things."

The beautiful Qin Yurou was anxious, "Dad, why are you suddenly adding conditions, isn't that untrustworthy?"

The Valley Master laughed, raising his eyebrows, "First, whether you go to Heshenghe depends on the result of the dan fighting between Shen Qiang and Chu Xiaotian. If he loses, forget everything, I absolutely cannot let you watch him work hard for others for ten years."

"Dad!" Qin Yurou was anxious.

"Listen to me!" The Valley Master raised his eyebrows and said, "Second, you cannot go to Heshenghe with Shen Qiang alone because, with his temperament, he will definitely get you into trouble."

The beautiful Qin Yurou blushed red all of a sudden and said coquettishly, "Dad! What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Am I talking nonsense? Don't you have any sense of it in your heart?" The Valley Master, Qin Yongquan, raised an eyebrow and said, "Thirdly, I, Qin Yongquan, have only one daughter like you. Although Daoist couples are not the same as spouses, the fundamental thing is to cultivate together. However, I definitely cannot let you be taken away by someone like stealing a dog without saying a word. So, I will fully handle this matter, you just need to be patient and wait."

Qin Yurou was stunned for a good five seconds, then looked at the Valley Master with an odd expression on her beautiful face, and said helplessly, "Dad, don't use me as a bargaining chip."

The Valley Master chuckled, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Qin Yurou seriously nodded her beautiful eyes.

The Valley Master shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Indeed, a woman's heart is with the outside world. Fine, you should go and pray first. As long as Shen Qiang doesn't lose the dan fighting, I promise to personally send you to Heshenghe. But if Shen Qiang loses, then all of this will be off the table, and even if he comes to beg me, I won't give him a chance."

"He won't lose!" The beautiful Qin Yurou was angry, turned around, and left with her sleeves flapping.

The Valley Master sighed helplessly, and after she left, he spoke, "What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the side door opened with a squeak, and then three Elders from Medicine King Valley walked in.

The Great Elder frowned slightly, saying, "If Shen Qiang is adept at refining Elixir Pills, he won't lose. I have carefully reviewed every kind of his Elixir Pills, and they are all Divine Grade. But if those disciples were to use unheard-of Elixir Pills or peculiar Elixir Pills to test Shen Qiang, I fear... he might have trouble!"

The Valley Master's face darkened as he heard this, saying in a low voice, "Shen Qiang is the only Medicine King in three hundred years and also the beloved of Yurou. I absolutely cannot allow him to lose, so I don't care what means you use, Shen Qiang must win because I certainly never intended to let my precious daughter wait another ten years."

"Understood, Valley Master, we will try to maneuver, but I'm afraid the numerous Alchemists of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands won't let it go." The Great Elder frowned, "Moreover, looking at the list of participants we have now, those challenging Shen Qiang include not only Alchemists of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands but also people from the Heshenghe Pill Alliance and some Alchemists from other sects. If we intervene directly, I'm afraid this matter..."

Hearing this, the Valley Master, Qin Yongquan, snorted coldly and said, "We can observe first. If dan fighting is necessary, the valley's ingredients can be provided to Shen Qiang as he needs. If he really cannot do it, even if it means throwing away this old face, I absolutely cannot let Shen Qiang lose."

"Understood, we will go prepare now." The three Elders nodded and then exited in single file.

After they had all left, the Valley Master furrowed his brows nervously and murmured to himself, "In the Cultivation World, when it comes to Elixir Pill recipes, none hold a candle to Medicine King Valley. There cannot be a more powerful Alchemy Sect than Medicine King Valley. Yet, even if the title is set, if Shen Qiang doesn't marry into Medicine King Valley, don't expect me to tell him any Pill Recipes, even if he loses and is humiliated. This matter is absolutely non-negotiable."

Having made his decision, the Valley Master stood up and said, "Someone, come with me to take a look at the exhibition hall and see just how powerful this Pill Alliance is."

Upon hearing this, two middle-aged cultivators immediately agreed, and the three headed straight for Exhibit Hall No. 2.

In Exhibit Hall No. 2 at that moment, three hundred Alchemists from the Heshenghe Pill Alliance were setting up stalls.

As this was a temporary exhibition hall, there were no beautifully decorated booths. A cloth was laid on the ground, or a table was set up casually, and then various Elixir Pills were displayed.

Since they were late arrivals and also participating in the Elixir Pills conference for the first time, many sect leaders from various sects in the Cultivation World were browsing the stalls here as well.

However, whether it was the stall-setting Alchemists or the browsing sect leaders, they all seemed a bit absent-minded.

"Do you think Shen Qiang, why is he so arrogant? Is Chu Xiaotian someone easy to provoke? After all, he is a favored scion! Where did that title come from? Was it because his elixir quality is high? No, it's because Chu Xiaotian has an extraordinary talent, he excels at on-the-spot concocting!"

"Isn't it why they say Shen Qiang is too arrogant and conceited? If he weren't so brazen, I would have sent him the prepared grand gift already. But now, as far as I know, there are dozens of Alchemists wanting to fight him, and the Elixir Pills are all peculiar and unheard of. Humph, if he can win, I'll catch a ghost to eat in a flash!"
