Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1893 - 1896: If You Have the Guts, Fight Me in Dan Fighting! (Fifth Update)

With an elegant demeanor and a stunning face, the Medical University beauty, Qin Yurou, looked at the Medicine King Valley Master in shock and said in disbelief, "Dad, how is this possible? Shen Qiang's elixir pills are all of Divine Grade, how could he not pass even the first round?"The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley hesitated for a moment, then looked at Qin Yurou helplessly and said, "I'm telling you this so you wouldn't misunderstand, thinking that I am deliberately making things difficult for Shen Qiang, preventing you from being together with him. But in reality, even though this Elixir Pill Competition is held in Medicine King Valley, we do not have the final say over the pills.

Qin Yurou asked in surprise, "Why is that? Isn't the Second Elder a judge?"

The Medicine King Valley Master said, "Yes, but he only has one vote, and the other two votes are in the hands of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands. I just received news that Pan Zheng will spare no effort to suppress Shen Qiang. If so, nothing would be more humiliating and discouraging for Shen Qiang than being eliminated in the first round."

Qin Yurou was stunned, then angrily said, "Dad, you are the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, how can you just stand by?"

"There's nothing I can do about it." The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said calmly, "This is an agreement your grandfather made with Pan Zheng. If we stubbornly change it, the Thirty-two Skillful Hands will host the Elixir Pill Competition elsewhere, and the outcome will still be the same, while we won't even get one percent of the competition's turnover."

"All for money?" Qin Yurou's beautiful eyes showed a hint of anger.

The Medicine King Valley Master replied calmly, "Without money, there are no materials to refine elixir pills, without money, you cannot live peacefully, without money, Medicine King Valley would fall apart. This might sound unbelievable, but that's the reality. In the valley, disciples need money to live. Without a penny, nothing works."

"So I'm telling you this, just to prepare you mentally, so you won't be thrown into chaos when Shen Qiang gets voted out and eliminated in the first round, because you must understand, life is not just about immediate hardships, but also about the unreadable poetry and the unreachable distant places."

Qin Yurou angrily said, "If it's not fair, I want to withdraw from the competition."

The Medicine King Valley Master laughed, "Silly girl, that won't change a thing. Just compete seriously and do what you're supposed to do. I promise you, I will do everything possible to support Shen Qiang so that he can get everything that should belong to him. But whether it will work out will depend on whether he himself has that ability and luck."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yurou was stunned, her beautiful eyes looked at the Medicine King Valley Master in surprise, and after a few seconds of silence, she hesitantly said, "Dad, I hear something in your words, is there still hope for Shen Qiang's situation?"

"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't." The Medicine King Valley Master said.

Qin Yurou asked in surprise, "I don't understand."

The Medicine King Valley Master smiled and said, "Where there are people, there are interests, where there are interests, there are struggles, and where there are struggles, there is Jianghu. In Jianghu, many times you are not in control of yourself. Justice, glory, interests, choosing and giving up, even with high positions and power, it is difficult to have your way. So go prepare, Shen Qiang's matter is not something you should worry about now."

Qin Yurou frowned and said, "They are all trying to harm Shen Qiang, and you tell me not to think about it?"

The Medicine King Valley Master smiled and then said seriously, "Silly girl, I know you like Shen Qiang, but you must understand, feelings need to be managed. If you want Shen Qiang to like you back, you must show achievements, proving that you are qualified to discuss alchemy as a pharmacist with him. Otherwise, how are you different from other women who are just pretty faces?"

In an instant, Qin Yurou's eyes lit up, and she said seriously, "I understand."

Meanwhile, in the gymnasium.

The judging of the elixir pills for the Elixir Pill Competition was about to begin.

The gymnasium was almost full of big shots from the Cultivation World, along with some cultivators who had purchased tickets to watch the live judging.

In the area where the alchemists were gathered.

Nearly a hundred alchemists from the Thirty-two Skillful Hands excitedly whispered among themselves.

The empty seats next to them were clearly the focus.

"Haha, Shen Qiang must have realized how powerful we are and ran away in fear, otherwise, why hasn't he shown up yet?"

"Exactly, I bet Shen Qiang is just a pretender, only capable of fooling cultivators who don't understand elixirs. When it comes to real alchemy competition, he doesn't have the guts."

"So, it seems our Chu Xiaotian and Chu Tianjiao are really intimidating, without even needing to fight in Dan Fighting, they scared Shen Qiang away."

Upon hearing this, many alchemists from the Thirty-two Skillful Hands laughed, and Chu Xiaotian looked exceedingly pleased with himself.

This made Pan Zheng, who was sitting in the same area as the Baihua Palace Master and Bai Shiyi, cast an unhappy glance at him, followed by a sigh.

Seated beside him, an old alchemist sighed, transmitting his voice, "Shen Qiang's elixir pills are all of Divine Grade; after seeing his pills, I already feel unworthy of being among the top ten alchemists. What's even sadder is, we not only have to despicably use authority to suppress him, but also watch as our ignorant disciples mock him."

Pan Zheng was silent for a moment, then transmitted, "Where is the justice? Without suppressing him, the Thirty-two Skillful Hands will quickly become third-rate, because no one will believe that Shen Qiang is qualified to stand equal with Medicine King Valley. The strongest alchemist will be Medicine King Valley, followed by Sheng He, then Thirty-two Skillful Hands and the Four Little Elixirs, so put away your soft-heartedness. We want results."

The old alchemist sighed and then fell silent.

Meanwhile, the self-satisfied Chu Xiaotian, amidst the flattery of the crowd, was visibly full of pride and arrogance.

"If Shen Qiang ran away and dared not participate, that would be smart of him. Because if he doesn't run, then this Elixir Pill Competition is destined to be a nightmare for him, a disgrace he could never shake off, as once the competition starts, Shen Qiang would become a laughingstock."

Chu Xiaotian's voice was loud.

Everyone in the gymnasium heard it clearly.

The alchemists beside him sneered, congratulating, "Chu Tianjiao's words can never be wrong."

"In alchemy, Shen Qiang is far inferior to Chu Tianjiao."

"Ha, a casual cough from Chu Tianjiao is enough to scare Shen Qiang away. How could he have the guts to stay?"

Upon hearing this, Weisheng Zhimei's pretty face turned cold, she could hardly hold back, but just as she was about to speak, accompanied by steady footsteps, Shen Qiang's disdainful laughter echoed in the gymnasium.

"Yo, you guys really forget the pain once the wound heals, all you do is brag all day. Other than gossiping behind my back when I'm not around, what other skills do you have? Come on, anyone present, stand up, I don't care if you are an alchemist apprentice or in the top ten. If you think I'm not capable, then bring it on and challenge me in a Dan Fight!"
