Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1746 - 1749: One Pill to Resolve All Troubles

In the basement, Shen Qiang, who was anxiously deep in thought, heard his phone ring. This annoyed Shen Qiang, who was already a bit irritable, but after taking out his phone and seeing the number, his eyes suddenly softened because it was Qin Yurou, the campus beauty, calling."Hello, Shen Qiang, how have you been lately?" Qin Yurou's voice was still as sweet as if soaked in honey.

Shen Qiang smiled, "I'm alright, just missing you a bit."

Hearing this, Qin Yurou, the campus beauty, couldn't help but laugh, "I don't believe you. If you really missed me, how come you haven't called me for so long?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "I knew you were busy."

Qin Yurou, the campus beauty, laughed and then said somewhat reproachfully over the phone, "Shen Qiang, there are only three days left until the deadline for the elixir pills competition registration, how come you still haven't decided on the elixir pills you're entering with? Now, the pills from the Thirty-two Skillful Hands and the disciples of the Medicine King Valley have all been confirmed, only you are left."

Shen Qiang chuckled, "There are still three days left, don't worry, I'll surprise everyone."

Qin Yurou's tone was slightly anxious, "Shen Qiang, I know you're great at alchemy, but this time, you absolutely can't be sloppy. You must bring out your best elixir pills because... because..."

Hearing Qin Yurou, the campus beauty, hesitating, Shen Qiang was surprised, "Because of what?"

Over on Qin Yurou's side, there was immediate silence. After a long silence, she shyly whispered, "Just remember, there are still three days, and then, and then, I have to hang up now."

Shen Qiang was surprised, "Don't you want to talk a little longer with me?"

Qin Yurou remained silent for a long time, before she shyly whispered, "It's not very convenient, and... I miss you too, so be sure to come early then."

Shen Qiang's eyes curved into a smile, "No problem, trust me."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qiang smiled for a moment, unable to help but look forward to meeting Qin Yurou. She, with her pure, unstained appearance, would likely not rush over and hug Shen Qiang like an ordinary girl, but he knew, she would definitely smile coyly.

Shen Qiang was just thinking.

Suddenly, the voice of Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing came through his mind.

"Shen Qiang, you've got trouble, the entire third squad of the Heshenghe Guard Team got dragged into the water by some water demons while passing by the Murky River, nearly drowned, then got stripped and tied to the stakes by the riverbank, and had their heads shaved."

"We found the water demons responsible. They said it was a greeting from the Great Sea Demon, and that there's only ten days left until the elixir pills competition. If you can't fulfill your promise, he will be very displeased."

This made Shen Qiang frown, "Don't tell me you let them go without doing anything."

"Of course not, we confiscated all their weapons as compensation for the emotional trauma to the guard team demons. Of course, they also had a few accidental knife wounds, but they won't die," Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing laughed charmingly.

Shen Qiang nodded and spoke through the voice, "Hmm, very good, I understand."

Ending the voice transmission and putting down the phone, Shen Qiang looked at the basement, with its hundreds of kinds of herbs, growing somewhat impatient in his heart.

But there's no denying the elixir pills competition is indeed of paramount importance.

Because it's not just about Heshenghe's future development, and Shen Qiang's status in the cultivation world.

More importantly, it's not just Qin Yurou waiting for Shen Qiang, the Great Sea Demon is watching too. If Shen Qiang can really outshine everyone, then undoubtedly, all the current difficulties will be resolved.

If he can't accomplish it, the Great Sea Demon will not only not help Shen Qiang to steal the Divine Corpse, but will also regard Shen Qiang as an enemy.

If he can't prove that Heshenghe's elixir pills far exceed the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, then why would cultivators abandon such traditional and respected elixir families and choose Shen Qiang's Heshenghe?

How could they possibly give Shen Qiang real respect?

After all, respect is not something that people will give easily. Without showing real strength, who in this vast cultivation world would truly care about a Shen Qiang whose cultivation is only in the Mixed Element Realm, commanding a bunch of demons?

He shook his head suddenly, pulling his thoughts away from the complex web of interests.

"Now is not the time to consider the elixir pills competition, the main priority is Old Ma, he's such a lovable old brother, I've got to help him survive." Thinking this, Shen Qiang randomly typed 'cancer' into the search engine on the webpage.

Immediately, the returned news on the webpage made Shen Qiang frown.

In just one year, five million new cancer patients were reported in the country, with 2.8 million deaths due to cancer.

It could be said without reserve that cancer is now humanity's most formidable foe.

And it's not just domestically this way, it's the same worldwide.

This made something suddenly stir in Shen Qiang's heart.

If Shen Qiang could successfully overcome this challenge and refine an elixir pill that could solve cancer, then it wouldn't just be Boss Ma who would be saved.

There would be more patients too.

Not only that.

If the problem could really be solved, would the elixir pills competition still be a problem?

After quickly unraveling the crux of the problem, Shen Qiang immediately focused all his attention on how to perfectly combine Anthrax Toxin Protein with traditional elixir pills to refine an elixir specifically for treating cancer.

To the point that he completely lost track of time, immersing himself in the sea of various materials, working tirelessly day and night, as if forgetting about everything else in the world.

He even completely forgot that he had to rehearse with the stunning diva Song Weiyin in the evening, going over the script.

At 9 p.m.

Dressed in a youthful and lively manner, the peerlessly beautiful diva Song Weiyin stood up, eyes full of disappointment, and said to her middle-aged female assistant beside her, "Sister Mei, let's go back. He's not coming."

The middle-aged female assistant, unable to do anything and a bit hesitant, tried to comfort her, "Perhaps Shen Qiang just had some last-minute issue; he doesn't necessarily want to break his promise."

The stunning diva Song Weiyin, with a cold expression, smiled bitterly with disappointment, "Yes, maybe he had a last-minute issue, but is he really so busy that he doesn't even have time for a call or a text? We've been waiting here for him for three hours, but he doesn't even want to give us three seconds. Forget it, let's go because you should understand if he remembered us waiting here, he wouldn't be so silent."

The middle-aged female assistant sighed helplessly, secretly hoping that Shen Qiang might still show up.

Not only that, but she also keenly noticed that as Song Weiyin got up to leave, she kept looking back every few steps, as if waiting for Shen Qiang to appear.

But even half an hour later, as they drove away from the restaurant, they still hadn't seen a trace of Shen Qiang.
