Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1825 - 1828: Fragrant Elixir Pills

"The leader is making a fuss over nothing!" The group of Thirty-two Skillful Hands, emerging from the villa, walked towards the Medicine King Inn under the rising sun, casually chatting. A man around forty, who looked rather distinguished and carried an air of arrogance, said, "That Shen Qiang may have some skills, but he still lags far behind us."The crowd nodded in agreement, and one person laughed, "That's right, any pharmaceutical family takes hundreds of years to form properly. Which of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands hasn't stood firm for a thousand years?"

"Yes, that Shen Qiang comes from nowhere. He probably just stumbled upon a Pill Recipe legacy, not someone who can make it to the big leagues."

Everyone laughed heartily at his words, and the arrogant middle-aged man laughed out loud.

"When I heard someone in the Cultivation World say he is the strongest alchemist, I laughed. Forget about the Thirty-two Skillful Hands teaming up against him; even just Lianxi Leng Family wanting to eliminate him would be as easy as pie."

The group laughed and nodded.

At this moment, a young cultivator rushed over from afar, eyes shining, pointing excitedly in the direction behind him and whispering, "Shen Qiang! Esteemed seniors, Shen Qiang is right over there!"

Hearing this, the group's eyes sparkled.

They couldn't help but turn to look.

From a distance, they could see a twin-tailed girl standing at the entrance of the villa area leading to the city.

And Shen Qiang, in a pristine white military uniform, gracefully talking to a bashfully smiling Nalan Tianyu while holding his military cap in one hand.

"Oh, this looks romantic," the forty-something, arrogant middle-aged cultivator said with a smile, "How about it? Anyone interested in going over with me to take a look?"

Everyone laughed.

Someone incited, "Go on, since we've already decided to teach Shen Qiang a lesson, there's no need to be polite."

"Exactly, let's go and laugh at Shen Qiang. He seems to think he has the right to compete with us."

"Yes, since everyone's already decided to deal with him, there's no need for courtesy."

Saying this, the group headed towards Shen Qiang.

At this moment, the gentle May breeze carrying Nalan Tianyu's fragrance caressed Shen Qiang's face, and looking at her charming, flower-like beauty, Shen Qiang's heart surged with an indescribable emotion.

"Can't you stay?"

Nalan Tianyu chuckled, teasingly whispering, "Can't bear to part with me? That's not like you."

Shen Qiang frowned, inexplicably recalling Qian Shanxue, who left more than half a year ago without a trace. Back then, she seemed to leave in a similar manner, without sincerely speaking a few tender words.

"I like you, I love you, I want to keep you by my side. It may not sound manly, but it truly is what I feel."

Nalan Tianyu's eyes curved with a smile, but just as she was about to speak.

A teasing laugh came from behind them, "Oh, can't even handle a woman? So much for the King of Demons!"

Hearing this, Nalan Tianyu's smile stiffened, and Shen Qiang coldly glanced at them sideways, instinctively wanting to speak, but noticed the hidden worry in Nalan Tianyu's beautiful eyes, immediately making him smile at her.

Because Shen Qiang understood, Nalan Tianyu probably had a non-negotiable task either today or tomorrow; otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a hurry to leave.

Regardless of what it is, tasks executed by a cultivator should be dangerous.

At this moment, as a man, keeping her forcefully would make Shen Qiang uncomfortable, and if he delayed her schedule and made her worry because of his petty emotions, what kind of man would he be?

So, Shen Qiang gently smiled, as if not hearing the provocation, and lovingly gazed at Nalan Tianyu, saying, "Well, sometimes, outside, I am the King of Demons, but at home, I'm just like every other little man, worried about you."

Nalan Tianyu laughed and said, "Then wait for me at home. Once my mission is over, I'll come to you at once."

Shen Qiang nodded.

"I have to go now. Do your best!" Nalan Tianyu said softly.

Shen Qiang smiled, just about to speak.

The man's voice from behind came again, "Just go already. What's with all the fuss for? And Shen Qiang, aren't you biting off more than you can chew? Is this Elixir Pills Gathering a place for someone like you?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang coldly glanced at them from the corner of his eye, then gently smiled at Nalan Tianyu, saying, "Take care, and don't strain yourself. More than saving the world, I want to see you happy and carefree by my side."

Nalan Tianyu hummed in agreement, about to speak.

At that moment, the man behind Shen Qiang interrupted with a sneer, "Oh, pretending not to hear me, right? So pathetic, what kind of King of Demons are you?"

Just as he finished speaking.

Shen Qiang's eyebrows raised slightly.

Boom!

A three-taloned sword array made of surgical knives had already struck the ground right in front of where he stood.

Not only that.

Even more became silent instantly, as in the sky up above, tens of thousands of small surgical knives appeared out of nowhere, as if emerging from the water.

The chilling sharpness made the faces of several alchemists turn pale instantly.

Infinite Sword Formation!

Someone gasped in surprise.

But the alchemist who was initially startled by the three-taloned sword array and evaded disgracefully, feeling embarrassed, angrily retorted, "Shen Qiang! This is the Medicine King Valley. If you want to prove yourself formidable, show us your pills. Drawing swords? What kind of skill is that?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang, who couldn't care less about them, suddenly had a bright look in his eyes. With a flick of his wrist, he took out a Timeless Beauty Pill from his Storage Ring, gazing tenderly at Nalan Tianyu, saying, "I almost forgot, this is for you. Take it now."

Nalan Tianyu was momentarily stunned.

Meanwhile, the man saw Shen Qiang blatantly ignoring him and mockingly sneered, "Hmph, a so-called King of Demons, yet so petty. That lousy pill doesn't even have a scent. It's not even as good as fried peanuts; it's simply garbage."

"Exactly, Elixir Pills have a unique aroma. Even ordinary pills do. Middle Grade Pills' fragrance can reach five meters, and Top Grade Pills' scent can spread up to a hundred meters. This pill has no fragrance at all; it's clearly defective."

"Humph, if Shen Qiang's pills are of such quality, don't bother flaunting here; it's useless, far too inferior. Any disciple from my family could surpass you with ease."

Listening to their words, Shen Qiang couldn't help but look somewhat displeased.

Then, the lovely Nalan Tianyu gladly took the pill from Shen Qiang, smiling sweetly, "Shen Qiang, anything you give me is definitely the best. I firmly believe in this."

With this, Nalan Tianyu consumed the Timeless Beauty Pill.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man sneered sarcastically, "Truly have no experience. Young lady, have you seen a pill before? The fragrant kind?"
