Chapter 2101 - 2104: The Anxious and Irritable Cultivation World

At the moment when the stunning film queen Song Weiyin was speaking toughly but feeling uneasy inside.

The charming Bai Jiao kissed Shen Qiang on the cheek, then pushed the already dressed-up Shen Qiang out the door, pouting: "Hurry up, everyone is already there. As the host, you are still dawdling. Really."

"Don't worry, it won't interfere with anything." Shen Qiang smiled helplessly.

But as soon as he stepped out of the room, all traces of joking smiles vanished from Shen Qiang's face, and his demeanor became sharp and imposing.

"Boss, Valley Master of Medicine King Valley Qin Yongquan, the head of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands Pan Zheng, Vice Alliance Hierarch of Heshenghe Pill Alliance Yu Xinghuo, and Alchemy Master from the Dragon Group Tang Huaqi have all arrived. Of course, Qin Yurou, Fairy, Pan Meiqing, and Abi have also come." The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu addressed Shen Qiang seriously.

Shen Qiang's expression turned cold. "Have you done everything I instructed?"

"Yes, Ke Bizhu understands that if this thing succeeds, Heshenghe and your status will be unshakable, so everything you entrusted has been handled very cautiously."

Hearing Ke Bizhu's words, Shen Qiang took a deep breath and said, "I'm taking a risk because Heshenghe's development has reached the most crucial point. If successful, I will achieve fame and fortune, and Heshenghe will be worry-free forever."

"If it fails, Heshenghe and I will become the laughingstocks of the Cultivation World, so I'm under a bit of pressure now."

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu smiled and said, "Boss, don't worry, everything is already arranged. You can head directly to the main conference hall now. The process is to first receive Qin Yurou and Pan Meiqing, announce their official joining of Heshenghe starting today, limited to five minutes, then discuss the treaty issue, with a ten-minute time limit."

Shen Qiang frowned, "The time is too tight."

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu smiled, "The treaty isn't perfect yet. If you extend the time, even if discussed for three days, not all questions can be solved. The treaty would become a whirlpool dragging you in. So cut through the confusion quickly, act decisively and forcefully, set matters down first, and let Qin Yongquan, Pan Zheng, Yu Xinghuo, and the Dragon Group's people haggle over the details."

Shen Qiang nodded, then looked at the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu with slight surprise, "This doesn't sound like your suggestion."

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu gave a charming smile and lowered her voice, "It's Qin Yurou."

Shen Qiang chuckled, "Good, I understand. Her intention is for me to decide on the big picture and abandon the details, leaving time for others to play their part. In this way, they feel there are details they can control and will not question it on the spot."

"Maybe that's what she means." The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu smiled.

Shen Qiang laughed: "It's no wonder she's the successor trained by Medicine King Valley. Qin Yurou's big-picture vision is excellent. Let's go. We'll meet them."

At this time, the main conference hall of Heshenghe was already filled with prominent cultivators.

It's comparable to a Pill Convention.

Those with higher status sat in the front; lower ones sat in the back. On the podium, Medicine King Valley's Qin Yongquan, Pan Zheng, Yu Xinghuo, and Dragon Group's Tang Huaqi were already seated because they, along with Shen Qiang, were the five committee members of the previously drawn-up Alchemist Covenant Administrative Committee.

At this moment, all four had smiles on their faces, but there was no interaction among them.

Because Shen Qiang was in real control of everything.

The Dragon Group didn't want to be excluded, neither did Medicine King Valley and the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, and naturally not the Pill Alliance either. So, under such circumstances, remaining silent was their best choice.

"What kind of medicine is Shen Qiang selling in his gourd? Being so dilatory in doing things, just say it directly!"

In the online live streaming room, many viewers were already impatiently waiting.

"Hmph, what else could it be? Shen Qiang is extremely inflated now, becoming the Medicine King. It's understandable that he wants to show off."

"Exactly! It's too much. We all come to see Fairy Qin Yurou, but this guy opportunistically stirs things up."

"There's news that Shen Qiang is going to reveal his true nature."

"What true nature?"

"You guys still don't know?"

"Haha, it's all over the Cultivation World now. Shen Qiang's got the nerve to monopolize the sale of Elixir Pills. It's heard that Elixir Pill prices are going to soar to three times as much—all thanks to Shen Qiang!"

As soon as such comments appeared, the entire live streaming room exploded.

"What? Elixir Pills raising threefold! Damn him! How will anyone survive?"

"Despicable, shameless! I used to trust Shen Qiang so much, only for him to dare to do such a thing once he gets cocky? If he really dares to monopolize Elixir Pills and hike prices, I'd be the first to fight him!"

"Oh my god! Elixir Pills were already expensive, one pill costs hundreds to thousands of millions, good ones directly over billions. If prices rise more, ordinary cultivators like us will be out of luck; nobody can afford them!"

"Damn him!"

The streaming room was turbulent, filled with curses.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang also appeared in the crowded main conference hall, smiling broadly as he went straight to the podium, shaking hands with Qin Yongquan, Pan Zheng, Yu Xinghuo, and Tang Huaqi. After the pleasantries.

Following the short introduction by the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing.

Shen Qiang stood at the front, saying: "Thank you, guests, for being able to find time amidst your busy schedules to come to Heshenghe. I…"

"Mr. Shen, we didn't come here to listen to your nonsense. It's rumored in the Cultivation World that you plan to announce Heshenghe's monopoly on Elixir Pills to seek huge profits. Is it true?" A burly man suddenly stood up, directly interrupting Shen Qiang, making the scene instantly awkward.

Looking at all the cultivators staring at him, silently waiting for his answer, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Indeed, I have significant announcements today, but please be patient because today is not only about major matters concerning Cultivation World Alchemists, there's also a personal happy event for me. So give me a few minutes, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the burly man questioning suddenly froze, and someone beside him tugged him.

"Sit down, you're too impatient."

"Not letting Shen Qiang finish his introduction is so rude. Shen Qiang is already giving you great face by not beating you and speaking to you kindly."

The burly man thought it over and immediately sat down with a thud.

Such a situation left Shen Qiang helpless because it was obvious this guy was being manipulated, so Shen Qiang didn't care for him but shifted focus with a smile and said, "Well then, since everyone's time is precious, I won't beat around the bush. Today is a joyous occasion, and Heshenghe will welcome two new members."

As he spoke, Shen Qiang gave a nod to the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu and then said with a smile, "Let's welcome Miss Qin Yurou and Miss Pan Meiqing."
