Just as Shen Qiang was instructing the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing to seriously study the details of the conference, in Shanghai, at the Demon Taming Safety Department of the Dragon Group, Nalan Tianyu, dressed in a pure white military uniform, dashing and undeniably beautiful, looked at Shen Qiang's speech on the forum with pleasant surprise.

Her delicate lips, soft as cherry blossom petals, curled into a joyful arc, and her cute dimples blossomed on her flawless cheeks.

Especially her alluring eyes, now rippling like a body of water gently stirred by a spring breeze.

"Wow, Chief, Shen Qiang is so imposing. He's actually challenging all the alchemists in the Cultivation World for you, isn't this precisely the legendary hero's anger for the sake of beauty?"

The stunning Nalan Tianyu coquettishly rolled her eyes at the pigtailed girl, unable to hide her shyness as she chided, "You silly girl, don't talk nonsense. There's nothing about heroes or beauties—he and I are just ordinary friends."

Looking at Nalan Tianyu's blushing cheeks, the pigtailed girl smirked with disbelief in her eyes, saying, "Chief, you're not being honest. You're obviously thrilled, yet insisting there's nothing between you. It's exactly like 'no silver here, three hundred taels'."

Upon hearing this, the stunning Nalan Tianyu's face turned even redder as she scolded, "You silly girl, what are you imagining all day? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll dock your next month's bonus!"

The pigtailed girl laughed until her eyes curved, observing Nalan Tianyu's blushing face under her stiff and cute military cap, and said, "Even if you dock my bonus, I'll tell. Chief is lying, clearly overjoyed, yet saying one thing and meaning another. If not for the thinness of the internet cable, I bet Chief wishes she could go to him instantly."

Upon hearing this, the stunning Nalan Tianyu instantly stood up.

Her long legs were elegantly shaped in her snugly tailored military pants, that almost perfect figure complemented by the unique beauty of the Undying Phoenix Clan, looking just like a goddess. However, when constrained by the belt of her military attire, her slender waist and blushing cheeks exuded an inexplicable charm and allure.

Snap!

The long whip in her snow-white jade hand cracked loudly, and she spoke, both embarrassed and anxious, "You're just making things up; I'm really angry now."

Watching Nalan Tianyu's bashful outburst, the pigtailed girl grinned until her eyes squinted.

"Double the bonus for next month, I won't say anything, otherwise I'll tell everyone I see!"

Seeing the pigtailed girl looking utterly fearless, Nalan Tianyu sighed and said, "I don't accept any threats, but considering you worked over the Spring Festival, this month's bonus will be doubled, and next month's will be as usual."

Upon hearing this, the pigtailed girl giggled and said, "Chief, you're just too good."

Meanwhile, in Medicine King Valley.

The Young Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, in a long gown, exuded an ethereal beauty, her entire being filled with an aura as if untouched by earthly smoke, was skillfully arranging flowers with her slender hands.

"Young Master, Young Master! Something big has happened!" A healthy-skinned girl with a firm figure rushed in, eyes wide with shock, placing her phone in front of the breathtakingly beautiful Young Valley Master and said, "Look quickly, Shen Qiang is furious. He's issued a public challenge to anyone who doubts his qualification to participate in the Elixir Pills Conference."

The stunning Young Valley Master of Medicine King Valley set the flowers aside, turned, and took the phone from the girl's hands.

"From today until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I'll accept challenges from any alchemist, for any elixir pills..." The stunning Young Valley Master frowned, her delicate face flawless like sculpted jade.

The robustly built girl beside her noticed the Young Valley Master's silence with surprise and asked, "Young Master, what's the matter?"

After returning the phone,

the stunning Young Valley Master calmly tended to her delicate, dew-kissed flowers, her nimble fingers skillfully adjusting them while softly saying, "This Shen Qiang is formidable; he's willing to challenge all alchemists for the sake of a friend, a true man indeed."

"However, his decision is still too reckless. You must know, the recipes for pills are as numerous as stars in the sky—our Medicine King Valley, after thousands of years of accumulation, has only three thousand elixir formulas."

"And while Shen Qiang's refinement skills are superb, even unreachable for us to replicate, the key issue is: no one is omnipotent. Even our Medicine King Valley can't master all elixir formulations, let alone Shen Qiang."

"So if someone challenges him with a rare and unique elixir that he doesn't know the recipe for, despite his stellar alchemy techniques, he won't be able to refine it. At that point, he'll surely face a crushing defeat."

The robustly built girl remarked in disbelief, "Shen Qiang said any elixir pills are acceptable, suggesting he must have some confidence. Otherwise, how could he gamble with his future? After all, he said it clearly that if he loses, he would never refine pills again."

The stunning Young Valley Master's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I suspect he's gambling that those renowned alchemists won't casually compete with him. After all, these experts greatly value their reputations and, without absolute confidence, won't act rashly. After all, Shen Qiang is still a small figure in the field of alchemists in the Cultivation World."

"If he wins, those experts will be deemed lacking grace, but if they lose, their banner will be tarnished. Therefore, I think this matter will likely end here without anyone truly engaging Shen Qiang in alchemy. After all, Shen Qiang is the owner of Sheng He, and in the current Cultivation World, Sheng He already has first-class sect-level combat power. If it truly comes down to it, even winning would bring endless trouble if Shen Qiang refuses to back down."

The healthy-skinned girl said, "Not necessarily, right? Our Medicine King Valley is unchallenged in the alchemy arena. The Thirty-two Skillful Hands pride themselves but may not necessarily act, but other alchemists may not agree. After all, Shen Qiang is invited to our Elixir Pills Conference. If someone beats him, wouldn't they become famous overnight?"

The stunning Young Valley Master chuckled softly, "Things aren't so simple. Although Shen Qiang is a small figure in the field of alchemists in the Cultivation World and still a newcomer, his Divine Grade Pei Yuan Pill, Jiazi Pill, Half Armor Spirit Pill, and the recently popular Closed Moon Shame Flower Pill are all exceptional pills that can leave people astounded. So even if anyone wishes to compete with Shen Qiang, these alchemists must consider whether they have the capability or not."

The healthy-skinned girl's eyes shone instantly, "The Thirty-two Skillful Hands indeed may not compete with Shen Qiang, but what about the Four Little Dan Prodigies? They're arrogant elites with skills even slightly surpassing the Thirty-two Skillful Hands. If they act, won't Shen Qiang definitely lose?"
