The congratulatory voice from the loudspeaker not only made the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu smile charmingly at Shen Qiang but also made the expressions of the nurous Thirty-two Skillful Hands alchemists in the exhibition hall turn sour instantly. After all, they were determined not to give Shen Qiang any chance to rise at the Alchemy Conference.
Yet now, the first order of the Alchemy Conference was completed by Shen Qiang in less than ten minutes after the venue opened.
This was like a heavy blow to the Thirty-two Skillful Hands alchemists, not only making them look grim but also breaking their hearts.
"Oh, it seems Shen Qiang is doing quite well," said the Valley Master of the dicine King Valley, leading the Third Elder into the exhibition hall, who stood in front of Pan Zheng and teased, "The Thirty-two Skillful Hands, under your wise leadership, have learned to be courteous, which is unexpected."
Pan Zheng's expression didn't change a bit, as he calmly raised his eyebrows and said, "An order doesn't prove anything. The Thirty-two Skillful Hands as the leading alchemists, that's the unchangeable fact."
"Confidence is good, but overconfidence is arrogance," the Valley Master of the dicine King Valley smiled.
Pan Zheng said, "That's the reality. Most of the first wave of cultivators who rushed in are tourists, who are essentially here to play. Even if they place orders, they're small deals. The true big bosses will appear soon, and I have a feeling that Shen Qiang won't be arrogant for long."
The Valley Master of the dicine King Valley smiled and said, "Not necessarily. In fact, if he wants to be arrogant, there are simpler ways, such as... " He raised his eyebrows at Pan Zheng, and with a teasing smile, said, "Fight with you in Dan Fighting! The only thing you can do is avoid the fight! As one of the top ten peaks, you simply can't afford to lose."
Pan Zheng smiled, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Shen Qiang surrounded by people, laughing, "It sounds like you could win."
The Valley Master of the dicine King Valley laughed and said, "Yes, I've already won, it's just you haven't realized the crucial technique."
Pan Zheng was utterly confused, unable to understand how the Valley Master of the dicine King Valley could have defeated Shen Qiang.
Yet his expression remained as calm as water.
"Oh, I'd love to see it then," said Pan with curiosity.
The Valley Master of the dicine King Valley smiled,
And just at that mont, with the commotion of the crowd, the Valley Master of the dicine King Valley and the leader of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Pan Zheng, both saw the Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect coming proud and aloof, surrounded by nurous cultivators.
"Hello, Valley Master, Pan Leader is also here. I've co, but I can't avoid asking the two of you for a cup of tea," the Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect laughed as he approached to greet them.
"Don't be so polite, Sect Leader. Qin always welcos you," the Valley Master of the dicine King Valley smiled, but looking at the many cultivators following the Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect, his eyes turned stern, and in his heart, he couldn't help but think, "The Kunlun Sword Sect doesn't seem to have good intentions. It's fine to have so many heads of sects following him, but these four Dao Fruit Stage experts by his side are likely targeting Shen Qiang."
The Valley Master of the dicine King Valley thought.
anwhile, the leader of Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Pan Zheng, also laughed loudly, "If the Sect Leader is interested, Pan Zheng would be more than happy."
The Kunlun Sect Leader laughed and chatted with the two, but while being polite, his eyes were on Shen Qiang.
Seeing Shen Qiang's crowded and bustling booth, his face turned cold, then with a smile, he said, "The two of you chat first, I'll look around."
"Please do," the Valley Master of the dicine King Valley smiled.
The leader of Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Pan Zheng, also nodded with a smile.
But then, they quickly noticed that the purportedly browsing Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect didn't even glance at any other booths, but headed straight to Shen Qiang's stand. Seeing this, Pan Zheng laughed, "Old Qin, I know you've always been dissatisfied with my alliance with the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, refusing to allow the Four Little Dan Qing and other alchemists to attend the Alchemy Conference, holding a grudge."
"So seeing that Shen Qiang is indeed good at alchemy, you want to use him as a lever to break the dominance of the Alchemy Conference being a gathering of Thirty-two Skillful Hands and dicine King Valley."
Smiling and shaking his head, Pan Zheng laughed, "But it's obvious that the young guy you fancy is in trouble. The discord between Shen Qiang and the Kunlun Sword Sect is no secret. If it were in Shen Qiang's Provincial City, even they couldn't touch him, but unfortunately, this is dicine King Valley."
Smiling with a raised eyebrow at the Valley Master of the dicine King Valley, Pan Zheng said, "No matter how powerful he is, Shen Qiang is just an outsider after all."
Hearing this, the Valley Master of the dicine King Valley smiled coldly and retorted, "There's a saying, 'If it isn't a fierce dragon, it won't cross the river,' so Old Pan, I think you need to be extra careful. Though they say a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, it seems you're not exactly a local snake here, are you?"
Saying this, without even glancing at Pan Zheng, the Valley Master of the dicine King Valley said goodbye and then took the Third Elder and others to leave.
Watching the back of the Valley Master of the dicine King Valley, Pan Zheng sighed and then coldly snorted, "An empty show of strength, thinking I don't know about Qin Yurou and Shen Qiang's affairs? If Old Qin helps him, he would only be breeding a tiger to cause trouble later."
Walking about ten steps away, the Valley Master of the dicine King Valley smiled and said, "The thousand-year foundation of the dicine King Valley won't collapse so easily, but if the Thirty-two Skillful Hands get beaten to the ground by a late bloor with elixir pills, that reputation won't last."
With that said, the Valley Master of the dicine King Valley walked away triumphantly.
Pan Zheng's face was deep in thought.
At this mont, at Shen Qiang's booth, Shen Qiang, who was smilingly taking pictures with cultivators, slightly turned his eyes, and from afar saw the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader walking over with a cold smile.
"Oh, isn't this the Alchemy Conference? Has it turned into a photo studio?" The Kunlun Sword Sect Leader sneered as he approached.
The excited cultivators when they heard this turned their eyes, and seeing it was him, the originally lively scene turned chilly in an instant, completely silent.
Shen Qiang smiled, turned around, seriously looked at the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader, and after a long while smiled saying, "Blacklist Kunlun Sword Sect, without my permission, prohibit the sale of any products to Kunlun Sword Sect."
Upon hearing this, not only did the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu's eyes light up, but the plump and sexy purple companion, with eyes full of admiration, also gave Shen Qiang an appreciative glance.
The face of the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader turned unpleasant imdiately.
A middle-aged cultivator by his side stepped forward and sternly said, "Outrageous! The Kunlun Sword Sect is a pillar in the cultivation world, and you, Shen Qiang, are just a side door. Not performing the courtesy of a junior upon seeing the Kunlun Sect Leader is already an offense, and now you dare to speak such nonsense as well? Do you really think your elixir pills are so outstanding that others can't simply not buy them?"
"I'll give you until the count of three to apologize to Kunlun, otherwise, you won't be able to finish what you've started!" said the middle-aged cultivator arrogantly.
Shen Qiang laughed because this middle-aged man completely failed to see the embarrassnt written all over the face of the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader.
After all, while other products might be negotiable, the large, affordable supply of Gathering Qi Powder from Heshenghe is absolutely essential for the Kunlun Sword Sect, which has many disciples!
