In an instant, all the cultivators present were stunned, and the alchemists from the Thirty-two Skillful Hands were even more shocked, looking at Pan Zheng in confusion.
But at this mont, Pan Zheng remained unmoved.
A wise person always weighs two evils and chooses to accept the lesser one.
The current situation was already very clear.
In fact, the Thirty-two Skillful Hands are so prominent not just because of how good their Elixir Pills are, but more importantly, because every ti there is an elixir event, they are the protagonists, and everyone in the Cultivation World knows them, so their reputation naturally becos vast.
But in reality, when it cos to comparing Elixir Pills or Dan Fighting, the gap between the 34 top-tier alchemists of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands and the 36 great alchemists of the Heshenghe Pill Alliance is practically nonexistent, and if they were to compete, the victory would be fifty-fifty at best.
This ans that at least half of the officially recognized top-tier alchemists in the Cultivation World from the Thirty-two Skillful Hands would lose in a Dan Fighting.
In that case, the entire Cultivation World would imdiately realize there are many alchemists stronger than those in the Thirty-two Skillful Hands and that there are many who are just getting by.
In this way, the reputation of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands would take a huge hit.
After all, although others are also top-tier alchemists, without the spotlight of the elixir events and the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, their fa in the Cultivation World is not even a fraction compared to the Thirty-two Skillful Hands. Once famous elites are defeated by unknown nobodies in Dan Fighting, it would be a catastrophic blow for anyone, let alone the Thirty-two Skillful Hands.
So now agreeing to Shen Qiang's request is the wisest choice for the head of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands because if he refuses, and doesn't allow the mbers of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands to engage in Dan Fighting with Shen Qiang's people, rumors in the Cultivation World would fly, equating to losing the Dan Fighting.
Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "Very good, I like straightforward people like you. The second rule, the elixir event is not a moral conference, it only compares Elixir Pills and does not involve anything else. I don't care if you are virtuous or despicable, if your Elixir Pills are good, they are good; if not, they are not. Do you agree with this, Valley Master?"
"Makes sense," the dicine King Valley Master smiled.
Pan Zheng said, "Okay, you want to re-enter the competition, no problem."
Shen Qiang laughed.
The nurous online viewers who saw this instantly exploded, with various comnts flying across the screen.
"My, Wang Weiwu! The head of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands chickened out, and the slap in the face is really loud. Didn't those two old guys say before that they would be directly disqualified without further discussion?"
"Hmph, this is how it should be, trying to act cool against my Master Qiang, and getting off easy this ti."
"Qiang Bao's supre power, who dares not to bow down!"
But just when everyone thought this matter was settled, Shen Qiang suddenly laughed, turned to dicine King Valley and said, "In addition, I have an impertinent request, which is to rent a place from the dicine King Valley Master to hold a small exhibition for my Pill Alliance brothers, as they've co all this way, and shouldn't return empty-handed."
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
They soon realized that the nurous alchemists from the Heshenghe Pill Alliance, upon hearing Shen Qiang, imdiately had a change of expression, showing respect, gratitude, and surprise, completely different from the previous stoic deanor.
"I've always been thinking that placing Shen Qiang in the position of Alliance Hierarch was just a last resort, rely hoping to formally co here through Heshenghe Pill Alliance to attend the elixir event. Never expected, Shen Qiang is quite righteous, and if he can really rent a place for us to hold an exhibition, what's the difference from participating in the elixir event?"
"Nice! Though I previously thought he took unconventional routes, for these words alone, I truly accept him as the Alliance Hierarch. Dammit, in the Cultivation World, who the hell has ever considered our interests? Only Shen Qiang!"
"Honorable! Eating at himself but not forgetting to let his brothers drink soup, for this point alone, Shen Qiang is truly comndable!"
The dicine King Valley Master heard this, smiled at the stern-faced Pan Zheng, and hesitantly said, "Well, Alliance Hierarch Shen should understand the rule of one percent, exceptions can't be made."
In that instant, everyone present realized there was an opportunity here!
Because if it were definitely impossible, the dicine King Valley Master would have imdiately refused. Although not clear about this one percent rule, the nurous alchemists from the Heshenghe Pill Alliance and many cultivators beca excited.
After all, like shopping in a mall, who wouldn't want to see more new products?
"One per thousand goes to you, and nine per thousand to , ensuring the prestige of your dicine King Valley's elixir event is unmatched. If you refuse, I will hold various events at the Heshenghe Mountain Villa, a March 8 Female Festival, a June 1 Child Festival, Singles' Day, Double Twelve, Black Friday, Sumr Solstice, Autumn Harvest, any na I please." Shen Qiang transmitted calmly.
The dicine King Valley Master burst into laughter and quickly replied back, "Alliance Hierarch Shen is indeed young and capable, already preparing to get this kickback before starting?"
"Without my help, this place will eventually beco the Thirty-two Skillful Hands Valley, so I rather think that you should at least give half of what belongs to the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, otherwise…"
Upon hearing this, the dicine King Valley Master imdiately stopped smiling and transmitted back, "For the Pill Alliance's spot, the split is nine to one, but don't think about touching the Thirty-two Skillful Hands' share."
Shen Qiang smiled, calmly raising an eyebrow, and declared aloud, "The rule of the elixir event is that one percent of the transaction revenue goes to the dicine King Valley as venue and catering fees. If our friends from the Pill Alliance have no objections, we will certainly abide by the rule and pay our respect after the elixir event concludes."
Upon hearing this, the nurous alchemists from the Heshenghe Pill Alliance were instantly overjoyed.
What is one percent of the venue fee?
To be able to exhibit Elixir Pills at the elixir event is simply their dream!
A single Elixir Pill can easily break millions, tens of millions for alchemists— who would care for such a small amount of money? Moreover, with such backing, as long as the elixir's quality passes, the sales can soar to the sky at any ti.
From originally waiting for leftovers unwanted by the Thirty-two Skillful Hands to grabbing food from the sa table, it's just like a dream.
"No problem, Alliance Hierarch Shen is wise!" The four Junior Dan Masters and two old gentlen imdiately agreed.
Looking at the excited alchemists, Shen Qiang smiled and calmly said, "Not only that, for the next elixir event, I will select thirty-two families from the Pill Alliance to compete alongside the Thirty-two Skillful Hands. If this is not agreed upon, then everything said before is void!"
"We can't agree, head!"
The nurous alchemists of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands panicked.
But Pan Zheng just sighed and then calmly said, "I have no objections on my side."
The dicine King Valley Master instantly showed bright eyes, excitedly said, "Good, a gentleman's word, hard to chase with four horses, then it's settled. Co, prepare an exhibition hall for our friends from the Heshenghe Pill Alliance."
Upon hearing this, the alchemists of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands instantly turned pale, while the crowd from the Heshenghe Pill Alliance cheered with great joy.
"Long live! Alliance Hierarch Shen eternally blessed, longevity equal to heaven!"
