Upon hearing that the five judges at the Elixir Pills Conference unanimously praised the elixirs of Shen Qiang's opponent, both the nurous cultivators present at the venue assud a serious deanor, and the cultivators watching the live online broadcast started to investigate Shen Qiang's opponent.
"Are you kidding ? Do you think anyone participating in the Elixir Pills Conference would lack skill? Let tell you, this person is nad Kang He, ranked sixty-fifth among the top one hundred alchemists, a long-standing reputation, although his production in recent years has dwindled, causing his ranking to drop. Previously, I recall his highest ranking was fifty-seven!"
"The Elixir Pills Conference has always focused on newcors, and isn't Kang He the champion of the last Elixir Pills Conference?"
"Yes, indeed, he was the champion last ti. However, this is his fourth consecutive participation, so the interest has naturally waned, especially since last year's three newcors—Qin Yurou, Chu Xiaotian, Lin Fenghang—were extraordinarily stunning in their performances."
The credentials of Shen Qiang's opponent suddenly made the cultivators in the broadcast room lose so confidence.
"I'm so nervous. Shen Qiang's opponent is so formidable, and unexpectedly the champion of the last conference. Will Shen Qiang bow out in the first round?"
"This is terrifying. If Qiang Bao loses, this incident will be laughed at for a lifeti."
"What to do? Suddenly, I don't dare to watch the broadcast."
Not only are the viewers in the broadcast worried, but even Yu Jiang, the Great Sea Demon King sitting in a corner in the stadium, is observing the situation cautiously.
"On land, I am indeed not the King. The Changbai Three Immortals, Kunlun Snow Woman, Shennong Huangshen, are all peerlessly mighty Great Demons. If Shen Qiang could assist , I'd actually be able to contend with them; but if his alchemist skills fall short, forming an alliance would only bring disgrace."
The Baihua Palace Master sitting in the VIP section, eyebrows furrowed, carefully observed Bai Shiyi beside her.
"Bai Shiyi looks calm, clearly confident that Shen Qiang will win. But why do I suddenly worry about this foolish kid Shen Qiang? Can't he play along?"
anwhile, on the second floor, Qin Yurou's beautiful eyes tightened nervously.
"Kang He, last year's champion. This is already his fourth ti participating in the Elixir Pills Conference. His elixirs are known for stable quality, outstanding skills. If Shen Qiang were using Jiazi Pill, Biyue Xiuhua Pill, or even Tiless Beauty Pill to compete, I wouldn't worry. But Shen Qiang's elixir is an entirely new creation, a self-developed elixir. If there's slightest mistake, success will be hard to achieve."
Now at the judges' table, upon hearing the judges' comnts, Kang He's eyes brightened a few shades, and his expression grew more confident. Looking at Shen Qiang beside him playing on his phone, he loudly said, "Shen Qiang, I know you are arrogant, but please understand, there are always higher mountains and more skilled people beyond every horizon!"
Shen Qiang, who had just lost all his system-gifted joy beans, heard this, put away his phone, and calmly said, "Yes, I know, but at least you're not."
"You!" Kang He was furious.
Just then the host announced, "Next, the five judges will authenticate the strongest and most formidable pill of Heshenghe's Shen Qiang, Mr. Shen's elixir!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Shen Qiang wanting to laugh.
"To correct, my new elixir is targeted at cancer. Cancer is calamity, but my elixir can help patients pass through this, so its true na is Calamity Relief Golden Pill. As for the Strongest Grand Pill, such a crude na must be a prank by the staff of dicine King Valley." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.
The dicine King Valley Master sitting among the judges shot Shen Qiang an odd look.
"Smart kid, you passed the buck beautifully."
Upon hearing this, the cultivators present rather let out a sigh of relief.
"Indeed, Calamity Relief Golden Pill sounds much more legitimate."
"Yes, hearing this pill's na, I suddenly feel it might be reliable."
"Thankfully, Strongest Grand Pill, those five glaring words, I dare not even recite."
While everyone was in thought, Kang He coldly eyed Shen Qiang, saying, "Shen Qiang, there are many people in the Heshenghe Pill Alliance, quite a few experts. But don't forget, I am last year's champion, so if you want to act recklessly at the Elixir Pills Conference, you better defeat first!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, calmly saying, "If I lose to you, I will never practice alchemy again in this life."
Instantly, everyone present was shocked.
"Shen Qiang is incredibly arrogant!"
As everyone frowned.
Sharp-eyed cultivators present suddenly saw that the five judges on the panel were all gazing fixedly at Shen Qiang's elixir, no longer exhibiting the relaxed deanor as they had while reviewing others' elixirs.
They seed to be holding their breath.
"What's happening?"
The crowd exchanged puzzled glances, unable to understand what elixir lay in these five judges' pot.
"Is Shen Qiang's elixir fake?"
Seeing the five judges staring blankly at Shen Qiang's elixir.
Kang He couldn't restrain from speaking.
This prompted the five to pause, then after exchanging glances, they sighed helplessly with a bitter smile.
Witnessing this, the crowd of cultivators was astonished.
"Valley Master Qin, you speak up."
"Chief Pan, it's better you announce."
"Yu Xinghuo, you should say sothing."
Watching as the five judges began to defer to each other, a cloud of mystery enveloped everyone's hearts.
But after a mont.
Unable to evade further, the head of Thirty-two Skillful Hands cleared his throat, glanced at the eagerly anticipating Kang He, and apologetically said, "Kang He eliminated, Shen Qiang advances."
These words sent shockwaves through the crowd.
"That's a win?"
"What's going on? Not a single critique, straight to advancing?"
"Are they treating us like fools?"
The crowd on site grew unruly.
Kang He's face darkened, he frowned, and loudly said, "Chief, in what aspect did Shen Qiang's elixir surpass mine? Why not explain clearly?"
"Exactly, making Shen Qiang advance without clear explanation, we don't consent!"
Amongst the clamor from nurous alchemists.
Kang He raised his eyebrows and loudly said, "Chief, I know as a chief it's tough for you, and understand sotis you have to compromise, but admitting defeat without any comntary, I refuse!"
"Indeed, admitting defeat this way is imnsely frustrating!"
Seeing the clamor of alchemists from Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Pan Zheng sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, Kang He, you are also a respected figure in the alchemist circle. If you wish to know how Shen Qiang defeated you, you may review for yourself."
Upon hearing this, nurous cultivators present focused their gaze tightly on Kang He as he approached.
And then, as they saw Kang He closely examining Shen Qiang's elixir, his body shook fiercely, and he shouted in shock, "Divine Grade!"
The crowd hadn't yet reacted, while at that mont, Pan Zheng on the judges' table glanced at Shen Qiang, conceding ruefully to Kang He, "Do you understand now? It's not that your elixir is bad, but you simply can't rival Shen Qiang, as he is a Divine Grade alchemist!"
