Shen Qiang's words, full of contempt and mockery, imdiately silenced the crowd.
"Talking to ? What makes you think you're worthy?" The young man glanced at Shen Qiang and sneered.
Shen Qiang laughed, "I'm not talking to you, I'm cursing you. Don't you understand?"
Amidst the snickers of the crowd, the young man's expression turned cold as he said sternly, "Young man, I advise you to show so respect. My surna is Li, and my master..."
"Garbage." Shen Qiang interrupted without even lifting an eyelid.
"You're calling garbage?" the young man said with anger on his face.
Shen Qiang smiled slightly, calmly saying, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not just talking about you. I include your master and the three old fools at your side, they're all garbage."
The young man sprang to his feet and demanded, "Who are you? Which family, which sect, what's your na?"
"My surna is Zu, first na Zong." Shen Qiang replied indifferently.
"Ancestor..." The young man started to repeat, then he snapped back to reality and flew into a rage, "Shaless rat, you dare to take advantage of ..."
Shen Qiang sneered, "You already called 'Ancestor'. If I don't teach you a lesson, I would feel a bit embarrassed. Trust , with your intelligence, you're better suited for transplanting rice seedlings back in your village."
And just as the young man was grinding his teeth, ready to draw his sword...
The impeccably dressed young man was already at his side, whispering, "Anyone who dares to be violent at Wan Xin and Shengxing will die."
The young man froze.
anwhile, the Qingfeng Mountain Three Masters stared coldly at Shen Qiang, with one of them saying, "My brothers and I have been refining Elixir Pills all our lives. You're the first to dare call us garbage."
Shen Qiang laughed, "That's because everyone else is too hypocritical to tell you the truth."
"You think the Divine Pill is the strongest, the best? Do you believe that because the Guiyuan Pill surpasses your understanding, it's impossible, it doesn't exist? With that mindset as an alchemist, you will die only being able to refine trash like the Kang Body Pill."
"How dare you!" an elder roared in anger.
But Shen Qiang didn't pander to them and continued, "A hundred years ago, who would believe that one could survive surgical organ removals, or organ transplants? Or that piling up so tal and adding oil could make it run faster than a swift horse? Who would believe it?"
"And now?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow coldly, "Aeroplanes, ships, rockets, mobile phones, computers, the internet, aren't you using all of that smoothly?"
The three astonished elders were at a loss for words montarily.
Looking at them with a sneer, Shen Qiang said, "If you can't do it, you think it's impossible, it doesn't exist. Well, today I'll teach you a lesson."
Turning to Xu Nan, Shen Qiang said, "No matter the price of the Guiyuan Pill, I'll buy it. Give each of the three old fools one pill. If the Guiyuan Pill is not as good as the Divine Pill, I, Shen Qiang, will take the loss. If the Guiyuan Pill is better than the Divine Pill, I want the three old fools and that stupid kid to apologize to Xu Nan in public."
The three elders were stunned and then furious.
"Just a Guiyuan Pill, how much can it be worth? Do you need to buy it?"
Xu Nan, with a cold look, said icily, "The starting price for a Guiyuan Pill is ten million per pill."
"Starting price of ten million per pill?" The young man beca anxious, "Why don't you just rob soone? A Divine Pill sells for no more than ten million."
Shen Qiang frowned, "I'll pay the money. Didn't you say earlier, you'll know if the Pill works right after taking it?"
Turning to the Qingfeng Mountain Three Masters, Shen Qiang said, "Give each of them one pill, and put it on my tab."
At these words, Xu Nan gestured with a wave of his hand.
Imdiately, three Guiyuan Pills were brought before the three elders.
The young man scoffed, "Oh, so you're a rich scion. Think you're great, eh? Then why not give one to everyone? If it's really better than the Divine Pill, I'll apologize on the spot."
Shen Qiang looked at him indifferently and declared, "I'm not short of money, but you don't qualify."
The young man was stunned, his face flush with embarrassnt.
Bianyi chuckled, "Brother, that's generous! Your mockery is just too powerful."
Shen Qiang gave a faint smile.
At this ti, one of the three elders spoke in a cold voice, "Fine, since you, a young man, presu to challenge authority with money, then we will not be courteous."
"If this Guiyuan Pill is truly better than the Jia Ye Divine Pill, we'll not only apologize but we'll also pay the full amount without fail."
"But if this Guiyuan Pill is just trash, we will neither pay for it nor will we let you off for insulting us, do you understand?"
Shen Qiang frowned, "Don't try to play word gas with ; it's useless! Are you saying that if the Guiyuan Pill isn't as miraculous as advertised, you're going to retaliate against ? No problem! Whether it's a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a walk. As for whether the Guiyuan Pill is any good, you just have to speak the truth after taking it."
"Very well!"
The three elders sat up straight.
"You need to expend so True Qi, or else the effect won't be noticeable," Shen Qiang reminded them.
The three elders snorted coldly.
Then the three began to consu True Qi.
Simply expending True Qi, their speed was naturally very quick, and after a short while, they spoke solemnly,
"I am at the Nascent Soul Stage, and I've already used up eighty percent of my True Qi."
"I am in the Yin God Realm and have used up half of my True Qi."
"I am at the late Golden Core stage and have used up ninety percent of my True Qi."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang casually raised an eyebrow and said, "That's enough, go ahead and take it."
The three snorted again and took the Guiyuan Pills into their mouths.
No sooner had they taken the pills than the leading elder exclaid in surprise, and then the three of them exchanged glances.
"Start the tir!"
The young man with not a wrinkle in his shirt said.
Upon hearing this, the three elders looked at each other and then closed their eyes, seemingly to feel the power of the Guiyuan Pill.
The three were silent.
But the people in the hall started whispering among themselves.
"I think, logically, since Wanxin and Shengxing are so confident, the Guiyuan Pill must be up to the mark, but the Qingfeng Mountain Three Masters are also very experienced alchemists, they wouldn't ruin the event without so certainty, so whether the Guiyuan Pill is effective or not, I am quite confused now."
"What's there to be confused about? The pills have been taken, whether they are good or bad, we'll know soon."
"You're so straightforward, what if the Guiyuan Pill is actually good, but they say it's not?"
"Psh, what a joke, do you think the Qingfeng Mountain Three Masters are fools? This is Wanxin and Shengxing! If the pill really works well and they dare to falsely claim it's ineffective, spreading lies, won't the Xu Family send soone to deal with them severely?"
"Exactly, to question the efficacy of the Guiyuan Pill is a custor's concern, Wanxin and Shengxing, no matter how big the store is, can only explain with a smile. But if they knowingly say it's ineffective when it is, that's plainly sabotaging Wanxin and Shengxing's reputation, not just the Qingfeng Mountain Three Masters, even the Five Great Sects wouldn't dare to do that."
"Yeah, there's no need to worry about this. The Qingfeng Mountain Three Masters are revered figures themselves and value their reputation highly. They wouldn't lie about sothing like this, so just wait patiently for the result."
The crowd continued their low murmurs while they waited.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly.
The three elders opened their eyes.
Seeing this, the young man eagerly asked with full anticipation, "Elders, is the Guiyuan Pill especially terrible, far less effective than the Jia Ye Divine Pill?"
However, the three elders didn't pay him any mind at that mont.
The leading elder looked at Xu Nan, his eyes bright and eager, and said, "Miss Xu, is the senior who refined this Guiyuan Pill here?"
