Chapter 1827 - 1830: Defeating the Enemy Without Lifting a Finger
Watching the alchemists, whose eyes were practically turning blue from jealousy, yet stubbornly mocking Shen Qiang, the twin-tailed young girl became angry and said, "Enough, if you have the skills, why don't you show your hand too?"The alchemists pretended not to hear.
At this time, Shen Qiang, however, remained unusually calm and smiled, saying, "When a dog barks at you, either hit it or walk away; barking back is useless."
He continued, smiling, as he tossed a Timeless Beauty Pill to the big-eyed twin-tailed girl, saying, "This one's for you, eat it, and you'll become as beautiful as your supervisor."
The twin-tailed girl instinctively caught the Timeless Beauty Pill, her body quivering with surprise, "For me?"
Shen Qiang nodded with a smile.
"This is too precious, how can I accept it?" The twin-tailed girl was nervous.
Meanwhile, the eyes of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands group all went wide.
"Pills that can defy fate, worth billions, even a simple Flower-Shedding Pill costs over a billion; is Shen Qiang insane? Giving away such precious pills with a wave of the hand?"
"Where's the justice in this? Such an immortal pill, one is enough to be a sect treasure, he gives away one and then another?"
"Mad, give me one, give me one and I will prosper for life!"
Thinking this, but at this moment, the middle-aged man in his forties, determined not to lose face even if he loses, stepped forward sternly, "Ha, Shen Qiang, squandering like this, even if you have mountains of gold and silver, it won't be enough. Flipping a hand and squandering two to three billion for face, you're showing off so brilliantly, it's just laughable."
"Yes, that's not how money should be spent, I also have money, plenty of Immortal Pills at home, but I just don't give them away."
"Yes, yes, that's how it should be, how can you give away such precious pills casually? Without transcendent materials, it's impossible to refine them, and just the cost, I estimate, won't be less than tens of millions."
The alchemists eyed the pill greedily as they pretended to mock Shen Qiang.
Their words made the twin-tailed girl uneasy and sweat profusely, "Shen Qiang, this is really too valuable."
Shen Qiang felt a bit bored with the situation; actually, even the Timeless Beauty Pill, when refined, cost him only a dozen coins each. If he hadn't considered that the transformation of beauty is a matter for his family, and not necessary for others, he would have been selling them in bulk long ago.
Moreover, Shen Qiang still had hundreds more in his storage ring.
"Eat it." Shen Qiang calmly said, "Once I give something, I never take it back. So if you don't like it, you can throw it into the pond to feed the fish."
At these words, everyone present was dumbfounded.
"Feed the fish?"
Seeing the twin-tailed girl anxiously not knowing what to do, Nalan Tianyu laughed and said, "Xiao Mei, eat it, since he's willing to give it to you, it's sincere, otherwise why take it out?"
In an instant, the big-eyed, twin-tailed girl blushed to her neck and suddenly felt shy.
"Well then, I'll just eat it." With that, she sneaked a glance at Shen Qiang, ate the Timeless Beauty Pill,
Then, the same transformation that occurred to Nalan Tianyu happened to her.
Many alchemists from the Thirty-two Skillful Hands group were dumbfounded.
Staring fixedly, they couldn't utter a single word.
Glancing at his watch, Shen Qiang smiled at Nalan Tianyu, "It's getting late, you should go. Don't worry, I won't fight them; they don't dare to touch me either."
Hearing this, and seeing Ji Wei waiting not far away for Shen Qiang, Nalan Tianyu walked lightly over to Shen Qiang, and despite the many people around, she still kissed Shen Qiang's cheek. Then she waved her wrist, took an SUV out of her storage ring, and then got in the car, "Good luck, I'm looking forward to your success at this elixir tournament."
Shen Qiang smiled, and the twin-tailed girl seemed hesitant, as if she had something to say, but after hesitating for a moment, she got in the car too, and only said to Shen Qiang: "Good luck, next time, I will come with the supervisor to see you."
"Welcome." Shen Qiang nodded and smiled.
Then, as the car started, Shen Qiang waved to them until their car was no longer visible on the road, then he turned back.
Calmly, he left with Ji Wei who had come to find him.
The entire time, he didn't speak to the alchemists of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, nor did he even glance at them, so after Shen Qiang left, everyone present immediately felt uncomfortable,.
"Feeling so stifled, being an alchemist, I can't even afford to give away a Pei Yuan Pill, while Shen Qiang is squandering like this? Casually giving away two Immortal Pills, giving away two Immortal Pills just like giving a popsicle or ice cream."
"Tch, pretending to be poor, acting as if Heshenghe is as rich as a country. Mad, I can't even finish saying this, but at least he truly can give them away, my entire fortune combined isn't even enough to buy the materials for refining this pill."
"Feeling so bad, clearly mocking Shen Qiang, but why do I suddenly feel crushed? Shen Qiang's wasteful ways, I want to be wasteful too, but I can't."
Several alchemists from the Thirty-two Skillful Hands grumbled depressedly.
At this time, the forty-something middle-aged man frowned, "You've all lived in vain, haven't you ever deliberately annoyed someone? No matter how impressive he is, with so many of us, we can make him look like a fool!"
Hearing this, everyone felt dispirited.
A forty-something fat man frowned and said, "Say what? How to say it? Saying his pill isn't good, huh? The pill he took out is an Immortal Pill, doesn't matter if it's ancestral, which of our ancestors passed down a pill like this?"
"Exactly, even I feel ashamed. So many of us, usually in the Cultivation World, are all big figures with faces and reputations. We grouped up to find trouble with Shen Qiang, this in itself is quite disgraceful, and as a result, not only are we ignored by him, but we're watching him give away a pill that could be considered a sect treasure, just like that. It feels awfully uncomfortable."
"The key is, is this Immortal Pill really so worthless in Shen Qiang's eyes? If we had this pill, we'd brag for a lifetime."
Seeing the dispirited, downcast alchemists clearly lacking the confidence due to Shen Qiang's pill, the forty-something middle-aged alchemist sat on the bridge pillar, feeling particularly depressed and said, "I'm also feeling down, but what can we do? In a fight, we can't beat Shen Qiang; the offense and defense alliance has been decided. We can't let Shen Qiang become famous, so everyone cheer up, we can't let this Shen Qiang win."
No one responded.
Just then, the elder who had previously identified Shen Qiang's pill as the Earth Immortal Pill sighed as he walked towards the exhibition hall, then said, "I suddenly understand why the leader made such a fuss about it. Shen Qiang isn't stupid, Heshenghe has hundreds of mouths waiting for money to feed, as a leader, how could he squander so casually? So the only reasonable possibility is that the pill is indeed refined by Shen Qiang, and it doesn't cost much."
Looking sideways at the many dispirited alchemists, the elder calmly said, "From this point of view, we cannot possibly defeat Shen Qiang; this might be where your depression stems from. But now, we have no retreat. If we can't suppress Shen Qiang at the elixir tournament, the world of alchemy will change."
