Upon hearing Yu Xinghuo's words, the pure and beautiful Qian Dai, the Jade Girl of Heavenly Flowers, was stunned. Clearly, even someone as naive as her had heard the rumors about this furnace tripod sealed by an Immortal Sealing Technique.

And not just her.

The five judges on the panel, upon seeing Shen Qiang's furnace tripod sealed with an Immortal Sealing Technique, also had mixed reactions.

Cheng Xinyi, the chief elixir pill appraiser of the Bai Family, looked extremely embarrassed: "Mr. Shen might just be joking with everyone. This unusable Immortal Artifact Furnace has indeed circulated between Cheng Xinyi and Wanxin Hesheng. Since it can't be used, every owner has resold it within three years of purchase. Other than for ornament and research, it indeed has no other value."

The appraiser from Wanxin Hesheng felt a bit awkward: "Yes, the last time I saw this cauldron was about three years ago in an auction house's warehouse, and I was startled back then too."

Fu Jialiang laughed and said: "It gave me a start. Ten years ago, I saw this cauldron and even played with it, but as the rumors say, it's a useless cauldron that can't be used at all. Its value is basically equivalent to an ordinary antique, not outstanding at all."

Upon hearing their words, Yu Xinghuo's lips curled into a proud smile, and the other two members of the Four Little Dan Masters on the judging panel sneered.

"Indeed, a worthless Immortal Artifact, an unusable furnace tripod, is the best choice for someone who has no ability but wants to show off."

"Displaying it to fool those who don't understand, thinking having an Immortal Artifact Furnace is impressive, but it's completely unusable. Shen Qiang, bringing out this thing is simply humiliating yourself!"

These words left many of the onlookers in the live stream stunned, while the hidden members of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands instantly spoke out.

"This Shen Qiang is shameless, truly a disgrace among alchemists. Bringing out a useless cauldron to show off, he's so despicable. What else wouldn't he dare to do? I strongly suggest that such a scoundrel should never be allowed to participate in the Medicine King's alchemy competition."

"It's shameful. Bringing out a completely unusable item to show off and being seen through, Shen Qiang, where can you hide your face? Quickly get out of the alchemy world!"

"We alchemists pursue precision and truth in everything. We cannot associate with someone like Shen Qiang. So, I announce that if Shen Qiang joins the alchemy competition, I won't go! He doesn't deserve to be an alchemist!"

Similar comments erupted like a tidal wave on the screen.

The perky young girl became anxious and said, "Young Master, how can Shen Qiang be like this? This worthless Shennong Cauldron has been rumored in the cultivation world for hundreds of years. Even a slightly famous alchemist knows it's useless, yet he brings it out to show off, isn't he just making a fool of himself?"

The gentle and beautiful Young Master of Medicine King Valley sighed and said, "Indeed, divine retribution can at least be escaped, but self-inflicted sins cannot be avoided. Shen Qiang has made such a laughingstock of himself. Inviting him to the alchemy competition should be reconsidered. Otherwise, his appearance will remind the cultivation world of his embarrassing act of showing off with a garbage Immortal Artifact, and we'll be humiliated too."

The perky young girl was stunned, and for a moment lost for words.

After all, showboating is common in life, and many have failed in doing it.

But Shen Qiang is the King of Demons and the boss of Heshenghe; doing such a thing would definitely make the cultivation world mock him.

Just as she was pondering.

At this moment, Yu Xinghuo glanced at the astonished and disappointed Qian Dai, seeing a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Shen Qiang, which made him secretly pleased. If Qian Dai felt Shen Qiang was too ostentatious and vain, then Yu Xinghuo still had a chance to win the beauty's heart.

Thus, seizing the moment, Yu Xinghuo stepped forward with an arrogant sneer: "Shen Qiang, this cauldron is known to everyone in the cultivation world as useless, yet you have the face to present it for show-off?"

"Then don't blame me for being unkind. As a senior, if you said you didn't have an alchemy furnace, I could lend you one. But presenting this thing to show off is a matter of character, so I must call on all alchemists to boycott you."

"Let you have no place in the cultivation world. At the same time, I must urge everyone in the cultivation to not buy your elixir pills. After all, if you dare to show off a useless furnace tripod, who is to say you won't tamper with the elixir pills?"

"Maybe your Jiazi Pills and Half Armor Spirit Pills are made of cornmeal, with no medicinal effect at all."

Upon these words, the live stream exploded with messages.

"WTF, I got duped! I bought a Jiazi Pill for 193 million half a month ago, damn it! Give me a refund, his character makes it impossible for me to trust his Jiazi Pills."

"I agree, though Yu Xinghuo is arrogant, he makes a point. Shen Qiang dares to show off with a useless furnace tripod, what else wouldn't he do?"

"Damn, I knew it, Shen Qiang is no good. We had no proof before, but now everyone sees it. He's a typical poser, seeking fame and applause, it's disgusting, he should get out of the cultivation world!"

"Yes, get him out!"

But just as the flood of comments dominated the live stream, Shen Qiang, standing in the hall, laughed. His expression calm, he said, "I thought cultivators were capable and open-minded, but I realize, that aside from that little cultivation, you're seemingly even less than ordinary people."

The crowd was stunned by his words.

But before they could react.

With a casual snap of his fingers, Shen Qiang, with a nonchalant raise of his eyebrows, summoned flames to burst within the cauldron sealed by the Immortal Technique.

Everyone gaped, not only was the entire hall silent, but even the entire network live stream had no comments, everyone watched in a deathly silence as the flames burned within the cauldron.

Because now, as the furnace flames came to life, they were shocked to see the nine dragons engraved on the cauldron come to life, opening their mouths to spew fire. In comparison, Yu Xinghuo's game-machine-esque Purple Gold Heart Covering Tripod seemed like a crude children's toy.

"Impossible!" After a long while, Yu Xinghuo was the first to regain his senses, stepping forward with shock in his eyes, yelling hoarsely: "This is an illusion, it must be an illusion! This cauldron has been unused in the cultivation world for hundreds of years! Suddenly spewing fire now, you must be trying to deceive me, you despicable person!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled: "Others can't use it, but that doesn't mean I can't." As he casually tossed a nearby chair into the Shennong Cauldron, it turned to ash in an instant. Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow with a smile and said: "Now, what else do you have to say?"
