Shen Qiang heard the words and was stunned.

The expression of everyone in the room immediately tensed, after all, an Immortal Pill that extends one's life by sixty years was a priceless treasure, so although they were all looking forward to it, they inevitably felt apprehensive.

"Is the Family Head asking for too much as a marriage proposal gift?" whispered an elder of the Bai Family, stealing glances at Bai Shiyi, and secretly pondering, "This Jiazi Pill, which captures the essence of heaven and earth, capable of defying fate, with a single request for five pills, I'm afraid this may spell trouble."

Almost at the same time, however, Bai Shiyi's eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Shen Qiang himself refines the elixir pills, so as long as he can refine them, no matter how rare the materials, with the financial and material resources of our Cheng Xinyi, it's not a problem. Just ask for them. If you say the materials are hard to find, I'll help you."

At this moment, the old madam, sensing Bai Jiao's nervousness, couldn't help but speak up, "Xiao Yi, why are you so greedy, look how you've scared the child. The Jiazi Pill is the most miraculous object in the world, and just one is already hard to come by, why must you make it difficult for him?"

Having said this, the old madam kindly looked at Shen Qiang and said, "Don't listen to him. As long as you and Jiaojiao are truly in harmony, what does a gift or no gift matter, I'll make the decision on this matter."

Bai Shiyi became anxious, "Mother, don't make trouble! How can my daughter, as the Bai Family Head's child, not have a proper marriage proposal gift, how could I ever mention it? Wouldn't that make us a laughing stock in the Cultivation World?"

But just then, looking at the nervous and shy Bai Jiao beside the old madam, Shen Qiang, sitting in the chair, laughed, "I like Bai Jiao, so five Jiazi Pills are not at all too many. I'll give you ten Jiazi Pills, as part of the marriage proposal."

In an instant, Bai Jiao looked up at Shen Qiang in astonishment and urgently said, "Shen Qiang, having you like me is already enough, ten Jiazi Pills is beyond priceless, this... "

And at this moment, Bai Shiyi's eyes shone like light bulbs, he exclaimed joyfully, "A gentleman's word is his bond. Ten Jiazi Pills, Shen Qiang, you must keep your word."

Shen Qiang smiled faintly.

And at that moment the elder of the Bai Family had already stood up in shock, staring blankly at Shen Qiang, murmuring, "Ten Jiazi Pills! How is this possible, one Jiazi Pill is akin to being reborn, a truly priceless treasure, and you can actually afford ten..."

Shen Qiang laughed.

This Jiazi Pill, indeed, was a priceless treasure both here and in the Immortal Realm.

But what was that to Shen Qiang?

Shen Qiang still had 999 excellently graded tri-colored Earth Spirit Embryos, one of which could refine thirteen Jiazi Pills. That is to say, if needed, Shen Qiang could bring out ten thousand Jiazi Pills at any time.

So, to Shen Qiang, ten Jiazi Pills really didn't amount to much at all.

"Ten pills, ten pills!" Bai Shiyi laughed heartily, his gaze was as excited as if he had taken a strength pill.

And at the same time, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Yes, ten Jiazi Pills, I can give them to you right now."

Bai Shiyi was ecstatic, "Really? Bring them here quickly!"

Shen Qiang smiled, took out ten Jiazi Pills from his Storage Ring, and placed them in front of Bai Shiyi.

One, two, three, four, five...

After counting the ten elixir pills five times, Bai Shiyi cautiously boxed the pills, his hands trembling.

Looking at his excitement, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "The pills are yours now, but I advise you not to rejoice too soon. These Jiazi Pills are only effective for ordinary people. For cultivators, they actually have no effect."

Bai Shiyi was momentarily stupefied when he heard this, and then became excited with bright eyes, "A treasure beyond price! In Huaxia, how many cultivators are there? If we do not count those trash below the Foundation Establishment Stage, the proportion of cultivators doesn't even reach one in five thousand, a treasure beyond price, heh heh heh, a treasure beyond price!"

Looking at Bai Shiyi, the Bai Family Head, who was giggling foolishly without any semblance of a high-ranking figure's demeanor, Shen Qiang felt helpless.

There was no way around it, this wasn't the Immortal Realm. Although there were various medical theories and technology was developing rapidly, in terms of cultivation and elixir pills, the gap was akin to that between a kindergarten and a graduate school when compared to the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, even the head of a top-tier family was still immensely shocked by the Jiazi Pill which had never appeared in the Cultivation World before.

Seeing Bai Jiao, who was bashfully delighted, Shen Qiang suddenly had an idea.

In fact, both the Jiazi Pill and the Half Armor Pill were little trinkets Shen Qiang had prepared to exchange for money.

After all, whether he was with Bai Jiao or not, he had too many of these elixir pills and couldn't possibly use them all, so selling them was a certainty. In that case, rather than letting Bai Shiyi harbor grudges later, it was better to be straightforward and reveal his hand now.

With this thought, Shen Qiang gave a slight smile to the shy Bai Jiao and said, "Ten Jiazi Pills are hardly enough to express my fondness for Bai Jiao, so please allow me to add another five pills on top of the dowry list that can extend a cultivator's life by thirty years."

Upon hearing this,

everyone in the room was instantly shocked.

Bai Shiyi's voice trembled as he said, "Shen Qiang, what did you say? You have elixir pills that can extend a cultivator's life by thirty years?"

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Yes, but I cannot provide them today. You will need to wait until I return to the Provincial City."

Bai Shiyi's eyes nearly bulged out, ecstatically overjoyed, "Good, good, good! I like a young man of action like you! I agree to your marriage with Bai Jiao. We'll choose an auspicious day and arrange the ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jiao's pretty face instantly turned as red as an apple.

Simultaneously, Bai Shiyi, with an exhilarated look in his eyes, said, "Let's handle this according to the traditions of the Cultivation World. Besides, we can't give Jiaojiao a shabby dowry; we can't let our Bai Family lose face!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang's eyes curved into a smile.

Indeed, without bait, you can't catch a wolf.

As a super-first-class Family in the Cultivation World, Bai Jiao's dowry was sure to be substantial.

At the same time, Bai Shiyi said with a beaming smile, "It's settled, then. Shen Qiang, I've heard that the Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment and the Lingzhi sold by Wan Xin Hesheng are yours, along with the Gathering Qi Powder. We're all family now, so just stop dealing with that side and let Cheng Xinyi handle it."

Shen Qiang, who had been all smiles, paused for a moment and then said calmly, "Let's talk about that later."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shiyi frowned, looking seriously at Shen Qiang and said, "You're about to become the Bai Family's son-in-law, but you are letting others handle your business, which makes the Bai Family lose face."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Even if I become the Bai Family's son-in-law, I will still be the head of Sheng He, and I have to think about the brothers under me."

"No need to think further." Bai Shiyi, who seemed to have regained his composure, said coldly, "Your auction business must be handled by Cheng Xinyi."

Looking at Bai Shiyi who was exceptionally serious, Shen Qiang laughed and said calmly, "I refuse this disrespectful demand that doesn't distinguish between public and private interests, and there is no room for negotiation!"
