In the next two days, the villa's celebration proceeded in an orderly manner.

The number of cultivation sects confirmed to attend the Heshenghe Villa celebration increased to more than one hundred sixty.

For ordinary cultivation forces, such a scale is definitely a dream-like grand occasion.

But Shen Qiang didn't care at all.

In fact, the villa's celebration was somewhat rushed. Shen Qiang's connections in the cultivation world were still very limited. If given a bit more time, even if it was just after the Jiazi Pill officially started selling, then held the celebration, perhaps more than half of the forces in the cultivation world would come.

But as for now, very clearly, the vast majority of cultivators were still not quite convinced.

Because among the more than one hundred sixty sects coming to the villa's celebration, more than sixty were small sects from the province and surrounding areas. With Yanqing Sword Pavilion as a precedent, they quickly arrived; after all, they were too close to Shen Qiang's Heshenghe.

They weren't sure if Heshenghe would deal with them if they didn't come.

So basically, everyone around didn't miss out, even including Doushi Temple.

Aside from that, the other cultivation forces included came from all over, but three-quarters were still concentrated in the north.

Moreover, truly renowned sects were just a tiny portion.

Most of the attendees were insignificant riffraff.

Fortunately, the super first-class sects in the cultivation world — Long Chang Ji Family, Wanxin Shenghe Xu Family, Cheng Xinyi Bai Family — all clearly stated they would send important figures, aside from the other major forces — except for the other two major families and Kunlun Sword Sect who explicitly showed no interest.

The other two sword sects, although no important figures were present, sent congratulatory gifts, saving face.

Besides.

What surprised Shen Qiang was that the Jing Family and the Zhang Family from Shanghai both explicitly stated they would send important figures.

Among them, the Zhang Family from Shanghai should have been enemies.

And the Jing Family's situation was even more complicated. Shen Qiang killed the Jing Family's young master and slept with the Jing Family's eldest daughter, a matter that clearly couldn't stay under wraps.

Besides, regarding the villa's celebration, it's worth mentioning that apart from those confirmed attendees, there were more cultivators wanting to join.

However, those cultivators were basically young disciples of various sects and families.

After all, in the eyes of the younger generation of cultivators, Shen Qiang now virtually belonged to the legendary type.

Whether they admired him or held animosity, nearly all young cultivators wanted to meet Shen Qiang.

However, due to their sect rules, whether their sects came or not, it wouldn't be their turn to represent, so they could only imagine what it would be like to meet Shen Qiang.

Moreover, through the guest list, Shen Qiang clearly felt that regional concepts were still strong in the cultivation world.

For instance, around the Provincial City, it's obvious all small sects showed up, but outside this area, the small cultivation forces mostly followed the lead of second-class and first-class sects; they basically had no response.

Only those first-class and second-class forces, relatively influential in their localities, expressed their stance to Heshenghe, while the smaller sects around them didn't dare to attend Heshenghe.

This was clearly those first and second-class sects guarding against Heshenghe's influence entering their domains.

It's not hard to understand.

For example, if the small cultivator sects around Heshenghe flocked to flatter the cultivation powerhouses in the neighboring province, Shen Qiang's feelings would also be discomforted.

In contrast, the cultivation forces south of the Yangtze River had no such concerns. Because Heshenghe was far from them, they either directly expressed their intention to come or had no reaction at all.

After all, Huaxia is vast.

Vast enough for ordinary people not to visit every place in a lifetime.

These matters were contentious.

Very exhausting for the mind.

So Shen Qiang personally preferred being a hands-off boss.

As Bianyi put it, Shen Qiang was the only boss he had ever seen who always hoped to be overshadowed by his subordinates.

Because Shen Qiang didn't want to deal with these troublesome matters at all.

After all, Shen Qiang understood, whether it was Heshenghe or the Great Demons around him, their strength was not as important as his own strength.

So during these two days, Shen Qiang focused on the plantation at the back of the villa courtyard.

Because compared to Jinyu Huacheng, this place was more suitable for Shen Qiang to cultivate various rare exotic herbs and safer, too.

Therefore, during these two days, Blood Ganoderma, Mo Yunzhi, Three-Colored Earth Spirit Embryo, Five-Colored Earth Spirit Embryo, and Purple Vine had all been planted by Shen Qiang here.

Besides, the first batch of Three-Colored and Five-Colored Earth Spirit Embryos had already matured.

Shen Qiang even took time to refine a batch of Jiazi Pills that can extend ordinary people's lifespan by sixty years and a batch of Half Armor Pills that can extend cultivators' lifespan by thirty years. After repeated comparisons and experiments, it was finally confirmed that a well-formed Earth Spirit Embryo could be refined into ten to fourteen Jiazi Pills.

While a single Five-Colored Earth Spirit Embryo yielded about two to three Half Armor Pills.

This meant the raw material cost of Half Armor Pills, which had shorter longevity effects, were nearly five times that of Jiazi Pills.

Under such circumstances, a thousand Five-Colored Earth Spirit Embryos roughly only refined into two thousand Half Armor Pills.

Due to being busy during this period, Shen Qiang temporarily only refined one hundred Half Armor Pills.

On the contrary, he effortlessly refined five hundred Jiazi Pills.

The next day marked the formal celebration day of Heshenghe Villa. Early in the morning, Shen Qiang got up early and carefully dressed up.

After all, Shen Qiang represented Heshenghe, so he couldn't afford to be sloppy in his appearance.

Shiny leather shoes, elegant shirt, perfectly fitting vest, neat suit, complemented by a tie that was both stable and slightly fashionable made Shen Qiang look energetic and confident.

At 9:10 a.m.

Shen Qiang descended punctually, got into Ji Wei's car, accompanied by Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, Xiu Ju, and Jin Chan, heading towards Heshenghe Villa.

Meanwhile, the front yard of Heshenghe Villa was already bustling with activity. Cultivators from various places had gathered, chatting in small groups.

Just then, several conspicuous white trucks parked at the villa entrance.

"The coffins and wreaths for Heshenghe arrived, where should we unload them?" the driver poked his head out.

The big black dog heard this and instantly erupted in anger, roaring, "Damn! Who let you come?"

"The wreath says it's a gift from Kunlun for his son."
