Chapter 1844 - 1847: The King's Path Is Not Lonely—A Storm Approaches

The instant they saw the red words, the live broadcast room was inundated with messages:"Looking forward to it? What the heck, does this mean all these Alchemists went to the Elixir Pills conference, and we can see them as long as we continue watching the live broadcast?"

"Are they crazy! The Elixir Pills conference is controlled by the Thirty-two Skillful Hands and Medicine King Valley, so anyone truly capable as an Alchemist would never go there."

"Something's about to happen!"

In the city roughly twenty kilometers straight from Medicine King Valley, Yu Xinghuo, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, said in the meeting room of a luxurious four-star business hotel, "I just knew, Cultivators are all smart people."

A young Cultivator smiled and nodded while staring at the laptop.

Then, sitting in the main seat, Yu Xinghuo turned his head to face the crowded room of Alchemists, and said calmly, "You've all seen the live stream; the Thirty-two Skillful Hands joining forces to exclude Shen Qiang is largely as we anticipated. The only surprise to us is the Kunlun Sword Sect, along with Shen Qiang, actually possesses seven Bright Star Pearls."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yu Xinghuo took a deep breath and continued, "The Alchemist circle in the Cultivation World is not large; Medicine King Valley and the Thirty-two Skillful Hands hold the Peak, though their number is less than twenty percent of Alchemists, they control eighty percent of the Pill transactions across the Cultivation World."

"We can't deny that most of them are quite skilled, but still, a significant portion is just pretending to be. Whether it's us, the Four Little Masters, or other peers, the same Elixir Pills of the same quality, we're not even qualified to partake in the Elixir Pills conference." Yu Xinghuo raised an eyebrow and said, "This is the territory of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands; they don't allow us to get involved." Yu Xinghuo said coldly, "But now things are different, Shen Qiang is here!"

Watching the multitude of Alchemists fix their gaze on him, Yu Xinghuo seriously said, "He's the only one who's not part of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, nor Medicine King Valley, yet participates in the Elixir Pills conference."

With a slight smile, Yu Xinghuo said, "This change not only signifies Medicine King Valley's desire to alter the structure of the Elixir Pills conference but is also our only chance for a turnaround."

With a slightly embarrassed smile, Yu Xinghuo said, "As you all know, I once competed in Alchemy with Shen Qiang, and the end result was me kissing his shoes, which indeed made me feel ashamed, but at the same time, it made me realize the gap between me and Shen Qiang."

"If I were a competent Alchemist, then Shen Qiang would be the legendary Medicine King; if I were a master of a generation, then Shen Qiang would be the Pill god."

Looking at everyone present, Yu Xinghuo said, "So please trust me, if Shen Qiang receives support, help, and recognition this time, he absolutely has the strength to become the unparalleled Pill king in the Cultivation World!"

"No one can surpass him." Yu Xinghuo raised an eyebrow with a smile, "Not even Medicine King Valley; so while we may never be able to participate in Medicine King Valley's Elixir Pills conference, as long as Shen Qiang gains recognition and support, we can hold another Elixir Pills conference at Sheng He."

Hearing this, everyone showed slight hesitation, and one person said, "Senior Yu Xinghuo, we don't disbelieve your words, but the competition among Alchemists cannot be based on idle chatter; we can support Shen Qiang, but whether he ultimately gains recognition doesn't depend on us, but on his Pills."

Yu Xinghuo smiled and said, "You're right, Shen Qiang's ultimate success depends on the quality of his Elixir Pills, but what's more crucial is that many who don't dare to buy Elixir Pills from Shen Qiang are largely worried about angering the Thirty-two Skillful Hands and then not being able to get Pills."

"And now there are 331 Alchemists here, numerically surpassing the Thirty-two Skillful Hands; if we stand up to support Shen Qiang, then nothing will be a problem."

"Because by that time, everyone in the Cultivation World will know that beneath Medicine King Valley are the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, and beneath Shen Qiang are the Four Little Masters and over three hundred Alchemists; I don't believe that by then, anyone would dare underestimate us."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes brightened.

"It's feasible, let Shen Qiang be our Alliance Hierarch, with his level of Alchemy, he can definitely compete with Medicine King Valley."

"Yes, I've closely examined, Shen Qiang's Pills are all Divine Grade."

But just as everyone was raring to go, an elder hesitated for a moment and said solemnly, "Recognizing Shen Qiang is not an issue; his strength is indeed outstanding. In the past, the Elixir Pills conference had nothing to do with us; we couldn't say anything even if we were displeased."

"Now, seeing Shen Qiang is like seeing ourselves back in the day; everyone wants to support him, but the issue is I want to know what qualification Shen Qiang has, who can't even settle the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, to be our Alliance Hierarch?"

"Is it because we're backing him up?" The elder raised an eyebrow and sternly looked at Yu Xinghuo, "Or because he's more incompetent than us?"

Instantly, everyone's expressions became complicated.

The status of Alchemists is esteemed, even if not among the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, they are respected wherever they go in the Cultivation World. Although led by the Four Little Masters, suggesting uniting to elevate Shen Qiang and end the monopoly of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, everyone sees this as the only path forward. But if Shen Qiang's abilities are lacking, expecting them to willingly agree is clearly unrealistic.

"Elder Song's words are correct; now Shen Qiang is the crack in the impenetrable Elixir Pills conference; it's easy to pry open the conference if we unite and seize this opportunity, but if he lacks strength, presenting him would result in losing not just your own face, Yu Xinghuo."

"Makes sense!" Another elder stated solemnly, "While Heaven moves energetically and the gentleman constantly strives for self-improvement, the earth acts in a supportive manner, and the gentleman carries oneself with virtue! If we ally to establish a foothold, the leader cannot be an indecisive fool."

Hearing their words, Yu Xinghuo laughed, "I understand the intent of the two of you; now with 331 Alchemists gathered, nearly a third of the Cultivation World's Alchemists are here, everyone who thinks they have some skill wants to be the leader."

"But let me be blunt, if you wish to bear the crown, you must shoulder its weight. The King's Path is not solitary, for its essence is the will of the people!" Yu Xinghuo smiled and said, "In terms of ability and courage, across the Cultivation World, no one is Shen Qiang's rival."

The two elderly men seemed somewhat dissatisfied, exchanged a glance, then one said, "We're just worried you've misjudged; now Shen Qiang is already backed into a corner; if you still think this is the King, we have nothing else to say."

All looked on thoughtfully, casting interrogative gazes toward Yu Xinghuo.

But at this moment, Ji Liangchuan, sitting not far from Yu Xinghuo, coldly said, "If that's the case, there's nothing more to say; just wait and see, the Shen Qiang I know will never surrender in such circumstances."

Looking at the many Alchemists staring at him, Ji Liangchuan smiled arrogantly, "Not only that, believe me, he'll make everyone know the consequences of provoking him his own way."
