Looking at Shen Qiang, who neither questioned nor appeared shocked, but instead wore a calm expression with a slight smile, the eyes of the Jade Girl Weisheng Qian Dai unexpectedly flashed with delight, because she knew that Shen Qiang didn't question or seem shocked, only spoke calmly, simply not wanting to make her feel embarrassed or guilty.

This silent understanding made her inexplicably moved.

"So, he's not just a domineering CEO; beneath his fierce and arrogant exterior, he's also so tender. No wonder Bai Jiao, Xu Nan, Kang Luoying, those outstanding individuals, all like to be by his side."

Thinking of this, Weisheng Qian Dai's eyes unknowingly softened warmly.

Meanwhile, as Shen Qiang, Bai Jiao, Weisheng Qian Dai, and Ke Bizhu were having breakfast in the employee cafeteria.

The Immortal Realm Forum was already filled with laughter.

"Shen Qiang is rude and arrogant, ignoring everyone, not even preparing a cup of tea for us, yet he dares to spew nonsense, wanting my boss, Yu Xinghuo, one of the 'Four Young Pillmasters,' to casually find a corner to wait for the duel. Such an impolite person, so vulgar and uncultured, lacks manners and is morally corrupt. Being like this even in public, it's clear that his character is simply despicable!"

Seeing this post from Yu Xinghuo's attendant, everyone in the forum was already laughing themselves silly.

"Brother Qiang is high-energy and strong-handed, 66666!"

"Dying of laughter, has Yu Xinghuo lost his mind? You roll up your sleeves, run all the way to Heshenghe, and come to compete in alchemy with Shen Qiang. But the man said it already, if he loses, he'll never practice alchemy again in his life. Anyone with a bit of sense knows to leave room when dealing with others for future encounters. You didn't leave Shen Qiang a way out, and as one of the 'Four Young Pillmasters,' you even rushed directly to him. The fact that he didn't end you on the spot shows he's as benevolent as a reincarnated Buddha."

"Hahaha, serve you right! Go ahead and wait for the embarrassment. Coming to Brother Qiang's turf and trying to pull tricks? You're asking for humiliation. Just slowly wait there; do you think Brother Qiang is some ordinary person? He'll welcome you with good tobacco and wine after you hit him?"

"Laughing to tears, Wang Weiwu! A grandmaster such as Yu Xinghuo from the Cultivation World, one of the 'Four Young Pillmasters,' actually seeking to act arrogant before me, 'King.' He truly underestimates my strength!"

"Hahaha, he deserves it! You go to Heshenghe to duel Shen Qiang, saying he's not worthy as your apprentice. If you're so impressive, show some attitude and walk away angrily, hahaha, laughing me to death."

"Laughing heartily, as I walk out the door, how could I be a mere straw? Hahaha, it looks like Brother Qiang has already won!"

"Hahaha, give Brother Qiang three hundred and sixty likes, for allowing troublemakers inside would certainly not be my Brother Qiang!"

In the hall of the Heshenghe Building, Yu Xinghuo looked at all the people from the Cultivation World with a livid face, nearly having his nose twisted in anger.

Because the situation was simple, originally, according to his plan, claims of Shen Qiang being coarse, unreasonable, and arrogant once posted, those moral experts on the forum would surely jump out to support him and criticize Shen Qiang as immoral and inconsiderate, and many people would support him then.

But what he never expected was that the post aiming to condemn and disdain Shen Qiang was directly blown up by those spectating cultivators before those self-proclaimed high-moral saints could arrive.

After all, their words were the truth.

Yu Xinghuo came to Heshenghe to duel with Shen Qiang, simply to step on Shen Qiang, to humiliate him in front of everyone in the Cultivation World.

This is a fact that cannot be covered by any reasons or excuses.

After all, usually, there's no feud between Yu Xinghuo and Shen Qiang; it was him who posted online wanting to challenge Shen Qiang.

So now, at Heshenghe, even if Shen Qiang didn't show him respect, he could say nothing.

After all, a single Jiazi Pill of Shen Qiang costs nearly two billion; it's more than just striking gold every day.

If he can't practice alchemy, Shen Qiang's income pathway would be cut off.

As the old saying goes, cutting off someone's financial source is like destroying one's parents.

So, this is a grave enmity!

Thus, now he could only bear it.

At this moment, it was already nearly nine o'clock, and Shen Qiang and his friends were still eating and chatting in the restaurant.

At this time, from Cheng Xinyi, Wanxin Hesheng, and two other 'Four Young Pillmasters' invited by him, along with a veteran figure in the alchemist field who wasn't among the top names, a total of five judges had already arrived.

The person responsible for receiving them was Xu Nan from Wanxin Hesheng.

As Bai Jiao had arranged everything long ago and had already started the live broadcast on the Immortal Realm Forum.

So the five judges directly sat in the judge's seats.

Seeing these five people as judges, the cultivators watching the live broadcast on the Immortal Realm Forum instantly became lively.

"Wow, three out of the 'Four Young Pillmasters' are here, one to compete, two as judges. What is Yu Xinghuo plotting? Isn't he afraid of losing?"

"Yeah, with two of the 'Four Young Pillmasters' as judges, it's really hard for Yu Xinghuo to lose."

"Uh-huh, did you see the message from the livestream host? Three of the judges were invited by Yu Xinghuo, and the other two are from Cheng Xinyi and Wanxin Hesheng, all seasoned elixir appraisers. But even if Shen Qiang has unusual ties with Cheng Xinyi and Wanxin Hesheng, looking at this lineup of judges, they've already lost half the battle."

"Precisely, in such a scenario, unless Shen Qiang's Elixir Pills are overwhelmingly superior, there is absolutely no way to win, because if the quality is about the same, undoubtedly, Shen Qiang will lose 3 to 2!"

Seeing the messages on the forum, the twin-tailed girl beside Nalan Tianyu anxiously said, "Chief, how can Shen Qiang be so stupid, why not appoint five judges himself, letting Yu Xinghuo choose them is asking to lose?"

The incomparably beautiful Nalan Tianyu smiled slightly, and said, "In the Cultivation World, when it comes to the fame and reputation of alchemists, undoubtedly the Medicine King Valley is the strongest, followed by the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, then the Four Young Pillmasters. They are renowned, but don't forget, they are doing a live broadcast. If they openly show bias and review recklessly, not only Shen Qiang, but these cultivators watching the livestream won't let them off either."

These words somewhat reassured the twin-tailed girl, though her beautiful eyes still couldn't hide her worry.

Meanwhile, in Medicine King Valley, the extremely beautiful Young Valley Master, dressed elegantly in a long dress, smiled while watching the computer screen, saying, "These two old masters from Cheng Xinyi and Wanxin Hesheng are both renowned as impartial in the alchemist circle."

"And that Fu Jialiang is also a well-known pill connoisseur in the Cultivation World. With these three people around, the judging lineup appears fair; however, the other two from the Four Young Pillmasters will definitely side with Yu Xinghuo. Because the Four Young Pillmasters share prosperity and loss, they have vested interests; how could they possibly impartially judge Shen Qiang's Elixir Pills?"
