In an instant, everyone froze, just staring blankly at the smiling Shen Qiang.
"Impossible! Shen Qiang, there's no way you can cure Lord Chi Yan, he's already a walking corpse!" Chu Xiaotian roared.
But the only response he got was Shen Qiang's cold and contemptuous gaze.
"Shen Qiang, you must not act on impulse at a ti like this!" The dicine King Valley Master grew anxious. As the saying goes, love the house and its crow; Shen Qiang was the man his only daughter Qin Yurou wanted to entrust her life to. If he said sothing under the eyes of the world and failed to do it, wouldn't that ruin his reputation?
The head of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Pan Zheng—clearly an enemy—also put away his hostility at this mont. After all, Shen Qiang's Elixir Pills were all Divine Grade, sothing he had tried his best to cover up. But now that it was out, there was obviously no way to stop Shen Qiang's rise anymore.
Continuing to be hostile had lost all aning.
Not only that, from an Alchemist's standpoint, Shen Qiang's Elixir Pills were astonishingly brilliant, making it truly impossible for him to feel enmity. He couldn't help saying, "Be cautious, Shen Qiang. In a situation like this, if any accident happens, it will beco a Nightmare that coils around your heart."
Yu Xinghuo also tried to persuade him, "Alliance Hierarch, doctors can't save the dead, and the Buddha only ferries those with fate. In this situation, goodwill and kindness alone can't solve the problem."
Seeing them all trying to talk Shen Qiang out of an impossible rescue in order to preserve his na, Chu Xiaotian, jealous and hateful, shouted harshly, "Shen Qiang, if you're a man, then keep your word! If you can't save him, your Elixir Pills are trash, totally unqualified to advance!"
"Shut up!" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Get out of my sight! And you, Chu Xiaotian, listen carefully. I'm saving him, not because of your goading, and not to fish for so good reputation. The only thing I want to do is just save him."
Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian was stunned.
And not just him.
Many cultivators also clearly saw Shen Qiang, without even furrowing his brow, take the Elixir Pill and directly feed it to Lord Chi Yan.
Seeing this scene, the cultivators present were shaken to the core.
"Shen Qiang's serious! My god, a Divine Grade Pill, and he didn't even hesitate before giving it to Lord Chi Yan. Is Shen Qiang stupid? Doesn't he know this Pill is worth at least hundreds of millions?"
"What a man! Compared to those people who talk pretty but act petty when it matters, Shen Qiang is simply righteous to the bone!"
"'I just want to save him!' In this situation, Shen Qiang could've totally dressed it up and made himself sound lofty, but he didn't. With such a simple reason, is it because he doesn't want Lord Chi Yan and his family to feel indebted to him?"
Compared to the cultivators on-site, who for various reasons couldn't speak up, the cultivators in the online livestream chat were already boiling over.
"Shen Qiang! How can you be this dumb? Such a good Elixir Pill and you just give it to so complete stranger? Do you know that what you just did was insanely cool?"
"Sigh, Lord Qiang is so silly. In an era where even asking soone for a coin to take the bus is hard, who would truly do sothing for others?"
"Qiang Bao is so handso. This is what a real man is—acting as he pleases, not asking for anything in return. If all the so-called evil and crooked types were like him, I'd rather those so-called upright gentlen disappear forever."
"I actually used to fla Shen Qiang in the livestream because I always felt he wasn't an orthodox cultivator. He's got so many Demons under him, so I thought there was no way he'd do good. But now it's clear as day: that Chu Xiaotian knew Lord Chi Yan couldn't be saved and then used him to try and humiliate Shen Qiang."
"Yet even so, Shen Qiang didn't hesitate to save him. With character like this, what more is there to say? So I've decided I won't hate on him anymore. Lord Qiang, keep it up!"
Under the shocked gazes of the many cultivators present…
At this ti, Chu Xiaotian—who had no idea he'd already incurred public wrath in the livestream—looked at Lord Chi Yan, who didn't seem to show any obvious reaction, and suddenly burst into manic laughter. "Hahaha, Shen Qiang, you big idiot, who would've thought you were this stupid!"
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Your Calamity Relief Golden Pill must've used extraordinary ingredients, worth at least tens of millions, and with just a few words from you flushed it down the drain. That IQ, hahaha, I've healed your wound, haven't I?"
Chu Xiaotian laughed wildly, but as he laughed, he suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
Because at that mont, not only were the five judges looking at him with unfriendly eyes, even Lord Chi Yan's family and the many cultivators present were staring at him with killing intent.
"Faced with soone like Shen Qiang, who's willing to give up his Pill to save a complete stranger, anyone with even half a shred of conscience wouldn't laugh. They'd only show respect to soone willing to do such a thing. Yet you, Chu Xiaotian, can say sothing like that. I'm ashad to stand alongside you!" An Alchemist from the Thirty-two Skillful Hands roared furiously.
Just as Chu Xiaotian was stunned…
The Baihua Palace Master, Weisheng Zhii, said coldly, "What a so-called heaven's favored son, Chu Xiaotian. Perhaps you have so talent in Elixir Pills, but your character is garbage beyond belief. Disciples of Baihua Palace are forbidden to associate with this man. Whoever disobeys will be expelled from the sect!"
Chu Xiaotian was truly shocked on the spot. One had to know that in the Cultivation World, the vast majority of female cultivators were disciples of Baihua Palace. With Weisheng Zhii's words, forget anything else—just trying to find a good Daoist couple in the future would be nearly impossible.
Not only that, just as he was about to open his mouth to refute…
A burly man suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Well said! It's one thing that Chu Xiaotian's strength isn't enough—no one would bla him for being unable to save Lord Chi Yan—but I absolutely cannot tolerate him mocking Shen Qiang, who was willing to lend a hand! After all, next ti it might be us lying on that sickbed."
"That's right, we can't let good people grow cold-hearted!"
Everyone was fired up, voices rising one after another.
"Shen Qiang kindly saves soone, and you mock him for being stupid. What the hell are you? What right do you have to say that?"
"You big idiot of the heavens, stop embarrassing yourself here. You're not even worthy of Shen Qiang's little toe!"
"Hmph, Chu Xiaotian might be decent at Alchemy, but as a person he's a complete retard. A bastard like this is just begging for a beating!"
Amid the crowd's furious shouts, Chu Xiaotian's face turned pale. Then he suddenly took a step forward and argued, "Fellow cultivators, don't misunderstand. Lord Chi Yan is already a dead man walking. No matter what he takes, it's impossible for him to live on, that's why I said what I did!"
"Because this Shen Qiang is just a crooked, fa-seeking fraud. He's a bad guy, a bastard, the leader of Demons. How could he truly want to save soone? He just wants to milk this for reputation. Don't be fooled by him, because Lord Chi Yan really can't be saved!"
Hearing this, the crowd was enraged.
And just then, everyone present clearly saw that Lord Chi Yan—who had been dying, lying on the stretcher, struggling even to open his eyes—actually…
sat up on his own!
