The scene was silent, everyone staring wide-eyed at the big screen showing the situation inside the pill furnace. They barely dared to breathe and could only hear their own heavy breathing and pounding hearts.
"Impossible! This absolutely cannot be true!" The challenger ranked twenty-first on the Alchemist Top Hundred list was pale-faced.
The prodigy Chu Xiaotian stood agape, his eyes wide with shock.
"From the previous formula about early-stage cirrhosis elixir, I already knew that Shen Qiang's dical attainnts far surpassed mine. I also knew his alchemy skills were much stronger than mine, but I still believed that these gaps could be closed with effort. However, the facts have proven that I was overreaching. Catching up to Shen Qiang in alchemy is absolutely impossible!"
They were not the only ones.
At this mont, many cultivators watching the Dan Fighting scene through online streaming were also stupefied on the other end of the network. Yet there were still many cultivators frantically posting comnts.
"Since I was young, I knew that alchemy was a particularly difficult technique that not only required extraordinary talent but also a lot of ti. Without three days and nights of refining, elixir pills cannot be produced. But now... I'm speechless. Shen Qiang managed to complete a full furnace in half an hour!"
"Shen Qiang isn't a dicine King... because he's the dicine God!"
"My mom asked why I was kneeling to watch the computer. I said it was because there was an Immortal here. She slapped and called crazy. Then she watched the opening of Shen Qiang's pill furnace and now she's kneeling beside watching the Immortal."
"I once chatted with Shen Qiang online. He told that he refines as many elixir pills as needed. I thought everyone was just bragging, so why be afraid of him? Then I told him that I also refined a few hundred pills whenever it was needed. Now, after seeing the opening of his furnace, I realize... I was the only one bragging!"
"I'm heartbroken! Is Heshenghe still recruiting? If I had known Heshenghe was so powerful, I would have joined long ago. Boo hoo... the sect rules got in the way."
Amid everyone's shock, on the podium, the head of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Pan Zheng, the Valley Master of dicine King Valley, Qin Yongquan, one of the Four Little Dan Masters, Yu Xinghuo, and two other judges had already darted to Shen Qiang's pill furnace like startled rabbits from the grass.
Pan Zheng, with shocked eyes, counted five tis and then exclaid with a trembling tone: "One hundred and thirty-one pills, that's right, all one hundred and thirty-one elixir pills made successfully!"
The Valley Master of dicine King Valley, Qin Yongquan, also said with eyes full of shock: "A miracle, this is unprecedented!"
"The Alliance Hierarch is too strong! Not one less! Dan Fighting? Our Alliance Hierarch is surely the winner!" Yu Xinghuo's excited eyes shone.
Not just them, but many big shots on the podium chaotically rushed to Shen Qiang's pill furnace, forming a crowd, attentively examining Shen Qiang's elixir pills.
"Wow, such beautiful pills, all full and lustrous, just by looking at the appearance, it's top quality."
"Surely one hundred and thirty-one pieces, it really beca a reality, and what's more amazing is it only took half an hour!"
"This is incredible, it completely breaks the norms and common sense!"
Amid the commotion of the big shots, accompanied by a familiar fragrant breeze, one of the twelve peaks of the Cultivation World, Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhii, stayed close to Shen Qiang's side. Exquisite and peerlessly beautiful, her charming eyes smiled at Shen Qiang, conveying softly: "My king, you are truly exceptional. If it weren't necessary to leave tonight, I would be reluctant to part with you."
Shen Qiang smiled and replied: "So am I."
Weisheng Zhii playfully rolled her eyes and said coquettishly: "Who'd believe you?"
On the podium, Shen Qiang and Weisheng Zhii were surrounded tightly by people.
Below the podium, many alchemists were anxiously scratching their heads. Even though the images on the big screen were clear, they were not the real thing, which was unbearable for industry elites like them.
Unfortunately.
In the Cultivation World, the hierarchy is clearly defined.
Big shots from various sects could move freely on the podium, but those without enough status who wanted to co up were asking for trouble, so even anxiously, they could only watch from below.
Not just them, thousands of cultivators who ca to watch the fun were in the sa situation.
Just like ordinary people at gatherings, high status gets you on stage, insufficient status, and you're left watching below.
But compared to those simply curious, the one hundred and thirty-one competitors fighting pills with Shen Qiang were even more frustrated. Many of them held high positions, their status transcendent. Now seeing the grand scene on stage and hearing the seniors' shock, they were not only ashen-faced, but also felt a thud in their hearts.
"Did we just lose like that? To work for free for Shen Qiang for ten years? How utterly crushing!"
"We lost, but there's no denying it—one hundred and thirty-one pills in one furnace, done in half an hour. What more can be said? With this ability, who in the world is Shen Qiang's match? Losing to him wasn't a total loss!"
"I think maybe, just maybe, there's still a chance. What if we can still win? That could an billions!"
Their faces were ashen, their mood heavy.
But at that mont.
On stage, Weisheng Zhii, standing proudly beside Shen Qiang, gazed proudly at the pills in the furnace. Her eyes seed to say to everyone: Look, these are the elixir pills my man refined.
But as she continued to look, Weisheng Zhii's expression suddenly grew serious. Her brows furrowed, her gaze turning puzzled.
Not only that, as the confusion deepened, she suddenly extended her jade hand, her two slender, snow-white jade fingers pulling out one elixir pill from amongst the many. Her delicate body trembled as she exclaid in shock with everyone's surprised gaze: "Oh my God! Shen Qiang, your elixir pill is alive, it's actually moving!"
Upon hearing this, the seniors burst into laughter.
Freshly refined elixir pills moving? How could it possibly be alive?
But as soon as they heard Weisheng Zhii's words, the Valley Master, Pan Zheng, Yu Xinghuo, and the other two judges were stunned, eyes fixed intently on the pill in Weisheng Zhii's hand. They were horrified to see that not only was the pill surrounded by dense spiritual energy.
It was also expanding and contracting, like a human breathing.
They couldn't help but exclaim in astonishnt: "A breathing Immortal Pill!"
