As Shen Qiang spoke, the entire grand hall fell into an instant silence. Even the elegant Baihua Palace Master standing on the podium looked at Shen Qiang in shock!

"Chu Qing, Jing Xiangwei, Ke Bizhu, these three women each have an Immortal Artifact on them? If that's the case, Shen Qiang's Heshenghe now already has six Immortal Artifacts! How could a Cultivation power established for less than half a year have such strong capabilities?"

Meanwhile, Sha Jianming, seeing the three beautiful women calmly walk to the judges' stand and place three Magical Treasures in front of the three judges, was stunned.

"Impossible! Our Carefree Valley's millennium accumulation amounts to only a dozen Immortal Artifacts, and what is he? How could he have this many Immortal Artifacts in just half a year?"

At that moment, the shockingly silent crowd regained their senses.

"My God! Heshenghe has at least six Immortal Artifacts! Look at these three great beauties, not only are they beautiful, but each also has an Immortal Artifact. This is explosively strong."

"What six? You idiot, the Qingyun Sword is also with Heshenghe! That makes it seven!"

"My God, the strength of this Heshenghe is simply explosive!"

While the crowd was in shock,

Sha Jianming, who also came back to his senses, immediately saw the Baihua Jade Girl, Weisheng Qian Dai, standing by and watching Shen Qiang. Her beautiful eyes shifted from worry to joy, which instantly infuriated him, and he shouted fiercely, "Eight or ten Immortal Artifacts are a small thing to Heshenghe? Bragging wolf! If it's such a small thing, give them to me!"

At the moment they heard this, everyone was dumbfounded.

Because Sha Jianming, in his anger, clearly was speaking without thinking.

Immortal Artifacts are one of the manifestations of a Cultivator's strength and are the top priority for every Sect. The ownership of even a single Immortal Artifact often leads to bloody battles, let alone eight or ten.

Just when everyone thought Shen Qiang would also get furious,

Shen Qiang smiled slightly, "Stop messing around, kiddo, I'm not your dad. Even if I have so many Immortal Artifacts that I can't use them all, I'd rather smash them to sell as scrap, use them to prop a table leg, or throw them in a warehouse, but I wouldn't give them to you."

Instantly, someone in the grand hall stifled a laugh.

"Haha, serves him right. This Sha Jianming sure has some nerve, even wanting Immortal Artifacts. Haha, an ordinary person would refuse even if you ask them for two hundred bucks, so how could you expect to get Immortal Artifacts? He's really just asking for it."

Simultaneously, Sha Jianming was infuriated, "Not giving them away isn't a small thing, is it?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "A few hundred bucks may be a small thing for everyone present, but who goes around giving a few hundred bucks to just anyone they meet? Tens of thousands might be a small thing for you, young master Sha, but I haven't seen you give stuff away to everyone."

Sha Jianming gritted his teeth.

At that moment, though, the voices of the three appraisal masters on the judges' stand were already excitedly heard.

"The three treasures from Heshenghe are all exceptionally fine Immortal Artifacts!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, and their gaze towards Shen Qiang no longer contained the same disdainful look as before.

Because in the Cultivation World, talking is forever overshadowed by strength.

Shen Qiang's Heshenghe has over three hundred Great Demons and more than a dozen Cultivators, which is not a secret in the Cultivation World.

Because demons make up the majority, the Cultivation World has always thought of Heshenghe as just a rabble.

But now, realizing that Shen Qiang's Heshenghe possesses at least seven Immortal Artifacts, it signifies that, not only in terms of numbers but also in terms of Magical Treasures alone, Heshenghe now possesses the strength of a first-rate Sect!

Seeing Sha Jianming hold in his anger, with his face turning ashen yet having no solution, atop the podium, the Baihua Palace Master, Weisheng Zhimei, glanced at him contemptuously.

"I always heard that young master Sha of Carefree Valley is a man of great strength and low profile. I thought he might qualify to match Shen Qiang. After all, he has the long-established Carefree Valley backing him, and Shen Qiang's backer is Heshenghe. By any measure, Carefree Valley should have crushed Heshenghe."

"But I didn't expect a low-profile second-generation to show his true colors with just a few words from Shen Qiang. No wonder he's always low profile; it seems Carefree Valley also knows that if Sha Jianming wasn't low profile, with this temperament and IQ, he could only be a stepping stone for others."

The Baihua Princess was thinking.

Unexpectedly, Sha Jianming gradually regained his composure. He looked at Shen Qiang proudly and said, "Shen Qiang, there's no need to compete with me tongue-to-tongue. You can boast all you want about how great your Heshenghe is, but no matter how many Immortal Artifacts Heshenghe possesses, in front of my Evil Spirit Armor, they are nothing but trash."

Hearing this,

The eyes of everyone present immediately brightened.

"What's said is quite right. The most significant appeal of Immortal Artifacts lies in their powerful strength. Last night, that Evil Spirit's cultivation was above the Dao Fruit Stage, and its strength was extraordinary, incomparable to ordinary Immortal Artifacts. If it can't be resisted, then even if Heshenghe had a hundred Immortal Artifacts, they would be useless."

"Yes, in terms of Magical Treasure power, those Immortal Artifacts of Heshenghe absolutely cannot match Carefree Valley."

Amid the crowd's discussions, seeing everyone in the grand hall watching the Heshenghe ladies in awe and the glances towards Shen Qiang no longer seemed so frivolous, realizing that not only had he not achieved his goal of embarrassing Heshenghe but had instead allowed Heshenghe to gain prominence, the Baihua Palace Master smiled graciously and said loudly.

"I just heard someone saying that the Magical Treasures of Heshenghe are insanely powerful, the strongest in the entire Cultivation World! So I hope they wouldn't be compared to scrap metal by young master Sha's artifacts."

The beautiful face immediately captivated the eyes of everyone in the grand hall.

Thinking she might have overstepped and exposed her bias, the enchanting Baihua Palace Master smiled and said:

"Alright then, Heshenghe's Immortal Artifacts and Magical Treasures have won unanimous praise from the three judges. This proves that Heshenghe does indeed have the strength to participate in the Treasure Exhibition, so let's skip the small talk and get to the point. Next, the Treasure Exhibition officially begins."

"The first up is Hidden Sword Villa. Let's give a warm applause to welcome the Deputy President of Hidden Sword Villa, Zuo Lianghao, to showcase Hidden Sword Villa's Unrivaled Immortal Artifact for us."

With that, the alluring Baihua Palace Master applauded.

Her charming face and seemingly harmless smile at her cheekbones were so captivating that even Shen Qiang, an enemy, felt the urge to clap, not to mention the other Cultivators.

Amid the waves of applause.

Shen Qiang glanced at Zuo Lianghao seated among the Hidden Sword Villa people; he lazily reclined in his chair and smiled at Shen Qiang.

Then Shen Qiang clearly saw a middle-aged man from Hidden Sword Villa walk to the display stand by the judges' platform and with a wave of his hand, five Immortal Swords of various shapes appeared in the air.
