In the laboratory, Shen Qiang was so immersed in alchemy that he didn't realize how quickly time had flown by. Before long, night had fallen. In Shanghai, the breathtakingly beautiful Nalan Tianyu had finished dinner, changed into her pajamas, and was leaning against her bed while opening her computer. She quickly frowned.

Because over the course of the day, the invitation list from Medicine King Valley had completely blown up on the entire forum.

After all, the triennial Elixir Pill Expo in Medicine King Valley is an unparalleled event in the Cultivation World.

Every alchemy master invited by Medicine King Valley possesses excellent alchemical skills and is among the elite of alchemists.

Moreover, the invitation list from Medicine King Valley is usually sent out at least three months in advance to give those alchemists ample time to prepare.

So, under normal circumstances,

once Medicine King Valley's list of invited alchemy masters is announced, the entire forum would be filled with congratulations.

After all, for alchemists, an invitation from Medicine King Valley is like a top summit, every invitee is acknowledged as having extraordinary alchemy skills by Medicine King Valley. Even more so, the usual invitation list contains no more than thirty-two people.

But this time, the situation was completely different, as the number of people on this invitation list was thirty-three, which was unprecedented.

"Have the people at Medicine King Valley gone mad? Why did they invite Shen Qiang? Just because he can brag?"

"Haha, that's hilarious, let him continue as the King of Demons, but this kind of advanced stuff like Elixir Pills, he can't handle that, can he?"

"Hahaha, what a joke, Elixir Pills don't grow in the wild, and if Shen Qiang goes, he probably will brag wildly about his Jiazi Pill."

"Humph! This is too much!" The pigtail girl said unhappily, "Chief, look at these alchemists, what are they? Where does Shen Qiang fall short? Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment, Jade Cream, Jiazi Pill, Half Armor Spirit Pill, Divine Grade Pei Yuan Pill, an enormous amount of Gathering Qi Powder, they're all there, yet they refuse to recognize Shen Qiang's ability."

Nalan Tianyu chuckled and said, "That's normal. Before we went to the Oasis, Heshenghe was there too, but we also looked down on Shen Qiang, thinking he couldn't possibly be better than us."

The pigtail girl was stunned.

The exquisite Nalan Tianyu laughed charmingly and said, "That's why, everyone thinks they're the best in what they're good at, only after a true comparison can there be an objective evaluation. So now, I think that maybe after Shen Qiang goes there, they might not think this way anymore."

The pigtail girl looked curious, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Chief, do you think Shen Qiang's alchemy skills might be as strong as his demon suppression methods?"

Nalan Tianyu smiled and said, "Without comparison, guessing is useless, but I believe Shen Qiang must be quite formidable. Otherwise, Medicine King Valley wouldn't have invited him out of nowhere, and this time the list had thirty-three people, clearly, they extended an additional invitation."

The pigtail girl's eyes lit up, "It's Shen Qiang! He wasn't originally on the invitation list!"

Nalan Tianyu smiled and said, "Indeed, otherwise, Medicine King Valley would have removed someone from the list to keep the traditional thirty-two. The only reason it's thirty-three is because they couldn't determine if Shen Qiang is stronger than any of the thirty-two or if they are stronger than Shen Qiang, which is why there are thirty-three masters on this Elixir Pill conference list."

"That's right! The key reason is that Shen Qiang hasn't competed against any alchemist, so his true alchemical strength is unknown." The pigtail girl's eyes shone brilliantly as she said, "So Chief, can we go to the Elixir Pill conference too?"

Nalan Tianyu giggled, "Want to see Shen Qiang making waves among the alchemists?"

The pigtail girl giggled and said, "Don't you want to know his real strength?"

Nalan Tianyu laughed, then calmly said, "Alright, fine, considering there might be demons appearing, for safety, I'll take you along then."

The pigtail girl exclaimed joyfully, "Chief, you're the best! Haha, then we'll definitely see Shen Qiang! No, I mean, we'll definitely go for security!"

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, Bai Jiao, Xu Nan, Xiu Ju, Jing Xiangwei, and Ju Yang all arrived together at Tianyou Medicine's research center.

As soon as they entered Ju Yang's office, they saw Ke Bizhu and Ye Guyun watching dramas on the computer while eating Eight Treasure Congee.

"What is Shen Qiang doing?" Bai Jiao said helplessly, "As per the original plan, we're leaving tomorrow morning to go to Shen Qiang's hometown for the Spring Festival, yet look at the time, why is he still in the lab?"

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu smiled and said, "He's refining pills; he told us not to disturb him."

The group of women was at a loss.

Xu Nan frowned and said, "He mentioned yesterday he was looking for Condensed Jade Dew, but that stuff is too rare, simply unattainable. I've contacted some alchemists and collectors, but they all said no, so now, thinking about it, this might not happen."

In response, Xiu Ju chuckled and suggested, "Let's go, forget about him, let's go shopping, see what else we can buy."

The group of women laughed.

Just then,

the lab door creaked open.

The women were astonished to see Shen Qiang emerge from the lab, looking a bit haggard yet unusually excited. They all watched as he hummed a tune joyfully, handing each of them a golden-hued pill like distributing candies.

"Quick, try it, Shen Qiang's version of the Timeless Beauty Pill, just one, and you'll reach the pinnacle of beauty!"

The women froze.

Bai Jiao asked in surprise, "Did you find the Condensed Jade Dew?"

Shen Qiang shook his head excitedly and said, "No, I used another ingredient as a substitute, just give it a try."

Upon hearing this, before the rest could react, Ye Guyun, who was quick to the draw, had already tossed the golden pill into her mouth, chewing as she said, "Mmm, quite crispy, quite fragrant, just not very sweet."

The group was dumbfounded.

This is how you eat a pill?

Yet while they were perplexed, they were suddenly astonished to notice that Ye Guyun, who had just ingested Shen Qiang's Timeless Beauty Pill, now exuded a strange fragrance as her entire skin began to shimmer.

"This is impossible!" Bai Jiao exclaimed in disbelief, "She became so fragrant!"

At the same time, Xu Nan watched in awe as Ye Guyun's originally delicate face rapidly transformed to perfection before their eyes. Her previously large forehead became smooth and fair, the slightly big nose tip shrank, her eyes not only became much larger, but her once indistinct double eyelids became pronounced.

Not only did her lips turn charmingly red, but even her little tiger teeth now appeared as exquisitely crafted artistic masterpieces, with perfectly proportioned dimples accentuated by reduced cheek fat, making her adorably cute to the extreme.
