Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1906 - 1909: Status Elevated to Daddy-Level

The unified shout from the three hundred alchemists of the Pill Alliance not only shocked the many cultivators present but also made many alchemists of the Thirty-Two Skillful Hands glare angrily at Pan Zheng. However, speaking of these things now is already useless. With Shen Qiang's overwhelming presence in front of everyone's eyes, there is simply no deceitful tactic or rogue method that could stop him."It's unfair! We, the Thirty-Two Skillful Hands, have achieved today through the efforts of countless family elders, and those bastard alchemists just because they joined some damn Heshenghe Pill Alliance, can compete with us on the same stage?"

"Infuriating, Shen Qiang is pushing too far, he's simply taking advantage so blatantly!"

"I am so angry, what qualifications do those trash alchemists have to compete with us? We are the ones who planted the trees, why should we let them pick the fruits?"

Many alchemists of the Thirty-Two Skillful Hands were fuming with rage.

At this moment, unable to control his anger any longer as he listened to their whining, Pan Zheng glared at them fiercely and angrily said, "Enough! I did what I could to help you; I got you three years to prepare. If after three years you still can't beat those trash alchemists, then get out of the Thirty-Two Skillful Hands!"

For a moment, the alchemists of Thirty-Two Skillful Hands fell silent.

The many alchemists of the Pill Alliance, on the other hand, were smiling with satisfaction.

"This feels great! Before, when the Elixir Pill Competition was held, we couldn't participate even if we wanted to. So, the arrogance of the Thirty-Two Skillful Hands was off the charts. But now, Shen Qiang, as the Alliance Hierarch, is really considerate. We've just arrived, and we can immediately sell pills here. In three years, we can even compete directly with the Thirty-Two Skillful Hands. If we win by then, it's like a step to the heavens!"

"What a thrill! There are too many so-called righteous gentlemen in the world, all smiling hypocrites. How many would really grant benefits to others? Shen Qiang is different; he's genuinely considerate. Meeting him, he's already given us such a big gift. This Alliance Hierarch is amazing! Whoever dares to speak ill of Alliance Hierarch Shen in front of me again, I'll fight them!"

"Our family's dream for generations has been to one day participate in the Elixir Pill Competition. I never expected it to come true just like this. Amazing, truly amazing—no wonder he's the King of Demons! No, it's Shen Alliance Hierarch, after all! This is a grace equal to creating life anew!"

While the many alchemists of the Pill Alliance were excited, the entire network live broadcast room was also buzzing with various messages.

"Oh my God! I now feel that the Shen Qiang I know might be a fake. Doesn't Heshenghe have only three hundred demons? Now there are actually three hundred more alchemists. This power is simply comparable to a super first-class sect!"

"I genuinely kneel before Master Qiang! Master Qiang isn't just amazing; he's exceedingly above amazing!"

"The Thirty-Two Skillful Hands were so formidable, only two hundred and thirty alchemists, yet Shen Qiang has seventy more than them, and thirty-six on the Top Hundred list, not to mention the Four Lesser Alchemy Stars and Ji Liangchuan, Ji Qishao. It's truly an assembly of remarkable talents!"

"I'm kneeling and watching with my wife. Shen Qiang was even a bigger novice than me back then. Now, he's already a super big figure who can confront the Thirty-Two Skillful Hands head-on, while I'm still the same old me. Brother Qiang, take me under your wing!"

"So shocked, my heart stopped for two hours. Master Qiang's power is explosive. If he had this power, he should have shown it earlier. Damn, who in the Cultivation World would dare not to respect Master Qiang?"

"Hello, Father Shen Qiang!"

"I'm warning you, stay away from my godfather."

"Damn, you're thirty-eight, and Shen Qiang is your godfather?"

"I wish, so what?"

"A big boss like Shen Qiang is already infinitely close to being one of the top twelve father figures. Even a leg hair from him can take you to the skies. If Shen Qiang really lets you call him father, you'd soar to wealth and prestige. However, I bet Master Qiang's response would likely be: 'Ugly rejection!'

Besides these nearly jestful responses, more cultivators are truly shocked by something else.

"Three hundred cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage or above, their strength can be regarded as first-class, and a scale of over a thousand is super first-class. This Shen Qiang, now Heshenghe not only has over three hundred Great Demons, many cultivators in the Dao Fruit Stage, but now also has the Pill Alliance as support, making its strength peak among first-class sects."

"There's hard and soft power. Hard power: under Shen Qiang, three hundred demons, plus the idol-level genius beauty, Kang Luoying, and the Five Tigers of Cultivation like Zuo Lianghao; strength is just first-class. Now with the Pill Alliance, it's like adding wings to a tiger. So, looking at it comprehensively, it's not far behind super first-class sects."

"Yes, it makes sense. But in terms of cultivation combat power, it's still a weakness for Heshenghe. Although the Pill Alliance members are nominally part of Heshenghe, they actually form a community of interests. They won't risk everything for Heshenghe. So, Shen Qiang's status improvement is undeniable, but Heshenghe still has a long way to go compared to super first-class sects."

"Right, this Pill Alliance is clearly just a community of interests. They'll support Shen Qiang when their own development and safety are not at stake, but when a critical moment comes, they'll certainly fight for themselves. So, while this Pill Alliance has indeed elevated Shen Qiang's status, its help to Heshenghe is extremely limited."

"Yes, the key still lies in Shen Qiang's own strength. Only when Shen Qiang himself is strong is he truly strong. If he's not strong enough, how long he can remain the Alliance Hierarch is questionable."

The public was buzzing with discussions.

Meanwhile, in the stadium, the staff of Medicine King Valley was rapidly restructuring the judging panel. This time, the judging panel set five seats. After much deliberation, the five judges present were changed to the leader of the Thirty-Two Skillful Hands, Pan Zheng, Valley Master Qin Yongquan of Medicine King Valley, Sun Feng of the Thirty-Two Skillful Hands, an elder from the Heshenghe Pill Alliance, and Yu Xinghuo, one of the Four Lesser Alchemy Stars.

These five judges are top figures in the circle of alchemists.

Once they all sat on the judging panel, no alchemist in the entire stadium doubted the fairness of their judgment.

After all, the previous issues were at Pan Zheng's insistence. Now, him being a judge is a different matter. If he doesn't display enough fairness, his position as the leader of the Thirty-Two Skillful Hands would basically come to an end.

Once the five were in place, they regrouped and drew lots openly.

Ke Bizhu, representing Shen Qiang to draw lots, reached out and drew number seventeen. According to the rule of first vs last, the one to face Shen Qiang was number eighteen, which is the last draw, leaving Shen Qiang somewhat helpless. At the same time, Shen Qiang's phone suddenly rang.
