Pan Zheng's words were calm and confident. Upon hearing them, many of the cultivators present imdiately agreed,
"The leader is right. The elixir pills in the cultivation world have always been in demand but never adequately supplied. The most crucial core reason is because these miraculous elixir pills cannot be industrialized. The more miraculous the effects, the harder they are to co by. From materials, to formulas, to refining, the stringent conditions lead to their high cost, and no matter how skilled a person is in alchemy, it's impossible to satisfy the cultivation world's needs."
"Makes sense. If we talk about status and influence, Shen Qiang may also be a heavyweight, but not all heavyweights are the sa. Heshenghe's capability in killing is impressive, but when it cos to influence, compared to the leader Pan Zheng of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, it's like night and day."
"Indeed, in terms of influence in the cultivation world, Leader Pan stands on the clouds as an eminent figure, while Shen Qiang is rely a primitive man walking on the ground. There is simply no comparison."
Compared to many relatively rational cultivators, others were less polite in their words.
Ji Liangyuan, representing Long Chang at the Pill Conference, sneered arrogantly, "Today, I've really witnessed Shen Qiang's overestimation of himself. This isn't scary in itself; after all, who doesn't have so arrogance at heart? But what's scary is, despite his sheer overestimation, he actually believes he truly possesses such skills."
Upon hearing this, many alchemists present also burst into mocking laughter.
"Shen Qiang, do you understand the gap between you and our leader now? Don't think just because our leader is polite to you, you have the qualifications to stand on equal footing with him. To be frank, our leader, in the circle of alchemists, even if not the equivalent of the Jade Emperor, is at least Lord Taibai, while you, at best, are a minor land deity."
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. There are plenty in the cultivation world who can refine a few pills, but shaless people like you, Shen Qiang, are rare."
"A dung-picking farr who thinks the emperor's life involves picking dung with a golden pitchfork, so this Shen Qiang probably thinks everyone's life isn't too different from his."
Amidst everyone's mockery, looking at Shen Qiang, still emotionally calm, Chu Xiaotian sneered arrogantly, "Shen Qiang, I'm really curious, how can you still stay seated? Aren't you ashad? We, the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, have two hundred thirty alchemists, and you, how many alchemists does your Heshenghe have? Besides you, are there any others? If there are, call them out. Let see what kind of people they are."
"Not a single one. If Heshenghe truly had other alchemists, the cultivation world would have known by now."
"Haha, when it cos to fighting, we might really not be a match for Heshenghe, but when it cos to alchemy, Heshenghe is nothing. Which among the Thirty-two Skillful Hands doesn't have three or five alchemists?"
Listening to everyone's agreent, Chu Xiaotian beca even more proud, "Shen Qiang, your shalessness has reached its peak. Is it better if you leave voluntarily? Return to your Heshenghe, organize your own Pill Conference, maybe there might actually be soone who attends."
Shen Qiang smiled, then casually turned his head and looked at Pan Zheng with a smile, "Leader Pan, I'm soone who values relationships. Originally, I didn't intend to give you any chance, but considering the feelings of the people around , my heart softened a bit. I think I shouldn't make things too absolute, so why not consider whether we restart the Pill Conference, or everyone simply stops playing."
Upon hearing this, Pan Zheng couldn't help but chuckle.
And behind Shen Qiang, the purple-clad lady trembled, her beautiful eyes fixed steadily on Shen Qiang, her mood inexplicably complex.
"Is Shen Qiang talking about ? Pan Zheng is my father, huh? Is Shen Qiang worried about my feelings?"
In the depths of the second floor, the beautiful school belle, Qin Yurou, gazed gently at Shen Qiang with her jade-like hands clenched into fists, speaking to herself in her heart, "dicine King's Valley Master is my father, huh? Shen Qiang, is your concern because of your worries about my family's relations?"
And at this mont, Pan Zheng, who was chuckling, spoke, "Shen Qiang, you truly are an interesting character. Originally, I thought you were a shrewd person, but hearing these words, I suddenly wonder, are you foolish? Did my words not make things clear? I have two hundred thirty alchemists under my command, you have zero. I control the production of thousands of pills, while you have only a few."
"The sects related to almost encompass all in the cultivation world, both those in the open and those hidden in the shadows. Yet those connected to your Heshenghe? How many are there? In such an unequal situation, speaking with you already respects the Dragon Group."
The crowd burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Shen Qiang also chuckled, then calmly said, "Is respect sothing given by others? This statent sounds quite ridiculous. Respect is sothing one can only earn for oneself. After you've laughed enough, seriously consider my words. If you, Pan Zheng, put away your rogue attitude and everything follows the rules, then this year's Pill Conference can still proceed smoothly. But if you truly think that by stepping on my face, I can only endure, then you'll regret it."
Pan Zheng laughed, "With such an obvious disparity in power, you still dare say such things, threatening ?"
Shen Qiang smiled calmly, looking at him.
At this mont, Chu Xiaotian had already stood up arrogantly, coldly saying, "Shen Qiang, your shalessness is truly at its peak. Publicly, you've already been eliminated from the conference; privately, the Pill Conference cannot be threatened by anyone, so I propose we imdiately expel Shen Qiang and Heshenghe, and permanently ban him from participating again!"
"Indeed, such a petty person who violates many principles of the conference, and is arrogant and disrespectful, must be permanently banned from participating to serve as a warning to others."
"Yes, directly expel him. If he dares resist, it would an he's challenging the cultivation world; then his na should be erased from the cultivation world altogether!"
These words imdiately made Bai Shiyi and Weisheng Zhii's faces sink into darkness. But at this mont, they indeed had no ans to interject. Not only that, the seductive purple-clad lady and the beautiful Qin Yurou were both tense-faced, anxiously watching Shen Qiang, but they had no solutions.
After all, in such a setting, they simply had no options.
"Is this your intention too, Pan Zheng?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.
Pan Zheng laughed, teasingly glanced at Shen Qiang, then looked at the dicine King's Valley Master, saying, "Valley Master, you should give Mr. Shen the order to leave. Otherwise, we, the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, might just change the venue for the Pill Conference."
Upon hearing this, the dicine King's Valley Master looked sullen.
Deep down, he knew clearly, the dicine King's Valley Master would prioritize saving the Pill Conference under any circumstances, and Shen Qiang, who heard this, smiled, grabbing the conversation, saying, "Giving the order to leave isn't difficult, but you'd better check if my subordinates agree."
Everyone paused in surprise.
Bam!
The door of the sports hall was pushed open, followed by a mass of people flooding in.
