Early the next morning, just past 4 am, Shen Qiang had already finished his practice and gotten up.

Having cultivated all night, not only was he brimming with energy, but he could also distinctly feel the True Qi within his body becoming fog-like in its state.

This proved that not only had Shen Qiang's cultivation progressed, but he had also faintly touched upon the threshold of the Qi Condensation stage. Once the True Qi condensed into liquid within his channels, he would be ready to reach Foundation Establishment and become a true cultivator.

After taking care of some basic hygiene, Shen Qiang went downstairs, where the entire floor of Blood Ganoderma had developed promisingly over time, especially the ordinary Blood Ganoderma, which had generally grown to the size of almost a small bowl.

These were planted by Shen Qiang during a later phase of cultivation, but they had become the largest.

In contrast, the millennium-quality and ten-thousand-year-quality Blood Ganoderma planted earlier were far from matching the size of the ordinary Blood Ganoderma.

The millennium-quality Blood Ganoderma had only grown to the size of a fingernail, while the ten-thousand-year-quality ones were only slightly larger than soybeans.

The Mo Yunzhi, which was planted afterward, followed a similar pattern, growing slower with higher quality.

On the contrary, the ordinary ones were thriving as if they were fresh mushrooms from the vegetable market, bunched and bundled together.

These were a massive fortune!

Previously, when Shen Qiang moved, he sold a single ordinary Blood Ganoderma for fifteen million.

If Shen Qiang were to sell a few more now, the price would definitely not be low.

However, the principle that scarcity breeds value has always been unchanging.

The reason why Blood Ganoderma is so precious is partly due to its unique medicinal effects that cannot be replaced, and partly because it's rare.

If there are too many on the market,

then naturally, they will not be as valuable.

But this would not be a problem for Shen Qiang, for with just simple refining techniques, he could turn them into Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment.

This product differed completely from raw Blood Ganoderma; it was a medicine, and as long as he found the right demographic, it would surely remain in demand.

Turning on the water pump, Shen Qiang watered the Ganoderma while deftly harvesting some of the superfluous Lingzhi from the cultivation sticks.

He left only one or two on each stick because this way, they would grow larger and better.

In no time at all, he had harvested a basin full of Blood Ganoderma.

Most of them were ordinary Blood Ganoderma, with not too many of millennium or ten-thousand-year quality.

As for the Seven-Colored Blood Ganoderma, they were just at the sprouting stage.

They were not even close to being ready for harvest.

He opened his Storage Ring.

Took out the Furnace Tripod sealed by an Immortal Technique.

The Immortal Grade Jade Ganoderma hidden inside had sprouted numerous rice grain-sized buds.

Looking at the rate of their development, by the time they matured, Shen Qiang's cultivation would have most likely reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, at which point he would naturally be able to refine Revitalizing Pills that prolong lifespan by a hundred years.

But that clearly still required some time.

He took out the cultivation sticks of the Immortal Grade Jade Ganoderma and placed them next to the Furnace Tripod.

Then Shen Qiang used the defective Blood Ganoderma that had been picked to refine the Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment.

Having had the experience before, this round of concoction was naturally a breeze.

The Blood Ganoderma had been harvested because there were better ones on the same stick, so their quality was not poor.

After some time refining, these Blood Ganoderma produced a total of ten and a half bottles of Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment.

The bottles were not large, just ordinary small glass medicine bottles.

Yet a whole bottle under normal circumstances would be enough for an adult to heal all the bones in their body.

After taking care of everything,

Shen Qiang's phone suddenly rang.

Only then did Shen Qiang realize that without noticing, an hour had already passed.

It was already past five o'clock.

And the caller was Su Xiaonuan.

"Get up and come down for a run, I'm waiting for you downstairs," she said.

After saying that, Su Xiaonuan hung up the phone.

Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows helplessly.

This Su Xiaonuan had been inexplicably relentless lately in trying to negotiate a contract with Shen Qiang, so an invitation to run was probably just a pretext—most likely another contract discussion.

But it didn't matter.

After all, running was just a part of Body Refinement, and earning money at the flea market might be more interesting. Having packed up his things, Shen Qiang went downstairs, ready to run with Su Xiaonuan and then head to the flea market.

Downstairs, Su Xiaonuan, without makeup, her face delicate and her figure sexy.

Seeing Shen Qiang, she pouted, "Why are you so slow? I've been waiting for you for a good fifteen minutes."

Shen Qiang smiled, "If you want to see a dirty, disheveled man running wildly around the neighborhood in his birthday suit, I can be that quick next time."

Su Xiaonuan giggled, her eyes curving into crescents, "Forget it, I think waiting ten minutes is more reliable."

With that, they both started walking.

"By the way, Shen Qiang, regarding our hospital's new contract issue, the hospital has actually made huge concessions. I heard from someone in HR that they've revised the contract—just five years at a time. And they're offering you an expert's treatment, with a guaranteed base salary of thirty thousand yuan," she said.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Let's talk about something else, shall we? Money, money, money all the time, don't you get tired of it?"

Su Xiaonuan frowned, "I don't understand. With such a high salary and generous benefits, why aren't you interested?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "It's not about the benefits. It's because Bikang can't offer me what I want."

"With such a generous offer, what else do you want?" Su Xiaonuan frowned.

"The record of a Triple-A Hospital," Shen Qiang said.

Su Xiaonuan was stunned, "Are you crazy? Do you really think a Triple-A Hospital would want an undergraduate like you?"

"They will. Didn't you see for yourself yesterday?"

Su Xiaonuan sighed helplessly, "Even if you go, what then? Do you think they will give you an expert's treatment?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Who knows? After all, it's up to us to make things happen. Until the end, no one really knows how things will turn out."

Su Xiaonuan frowned and said, "I think you should stay at Bikang. Bikang is going to develop well. Who knows, in a few years, Bikang might become a Triple-A Hospital."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Do you actually believe that?"

Su Xiaonuan fell silent.

Shen Qiang said with a laugh, "So let's not talk about this anymore. If you don't mind, we can be friends, hang out, run together, chat from time to time, but don't try to decide my fate."

Su Xiaonuan was displeased and seemed rather disheartened.

Shaking his head with a smile, Shen Qiang turned around and was about to start jogging slowly when, at that moment—

Thump!

A basketball hit Shen Qiang square on.

Shen Qiang, with quick reflexes, caught the basketball in his hands and looked up in shock to see the tall professional basketball player and another person of about the same height as Shen Qiang, standing on the community's basketball court.

There were also a few other young people who appeared to be doing their morning exercises.

"Hey, kid, you've annoyed me. First, you ignore me, then you lie to me saying you're that beauty's brother, so I've decided to teach you a lesson!"
