"Unity Lotus?" The beautiful manager Xu Nan furrowed her brows slightly, "I haven't paid attention to this item before. However, since you've decided to sell a better quality Blood Ganoderma to me privately, even if I don't have it today, I'll notify you immediately once I do."

Shen Qiang nodded quickly, "Thank you. With your word, I can rest easy."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nan smiled, "In addition to that, I hope that if you have anything to sell in the future, you must come to Wanxin Hesheng. Of course, this is a gentlemen's agreement, merely spoken, even if you go to another place in the future, I won't blame you."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Manager Xu can rest assured, I'm a person of loyalty; if you sincerely help, then when I have something to sell in the future, I naturally won't go elsewhere."

A sly glint flickered in Xu Nan's eyes, then she probed, "Does that mean that the medicinal products from your Master will also be exclusively entrusted to Wanxin Hesheng for representation?"

"Master?" Shen Qiang was taken aback, given that the Medical Saint Inheritance Shen Qiang had received came from the Medical Saint in the Immortal Realm's Central State, by all accounts, the Medical Saint was Shen Qiang's Master.

Acquire his refined medicines? Wasn't that just daydreaming?

Fortunately, Shen Qiang was quick on his feet.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he immediately realized that Xu Nan's statement might be referring to the Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment.

So Shen Qiang smiled and said, "It's not certain whether I will entrust it exclusively to Wanxin Hesheng, but as long as Manager Xu is honest and trustworthy, I feel assured in your management."

At these words, the eyes of the beautiful manager Xu Nan lit up, and she giggled, "Mr. Shen is indeed a straightforward person. But I still don't know how to refer to your Master."

It was clear to Shen Qiang that Xu Nan had nearly let the cat out of the bag in her eagerness to pry. This wasn't about wanting to know the name of Shen Qiang's Master; it was just shy of her pointing at Shen Qiang's nose and demanding, "Hey, tell me who your Master is!"

After a light cough, Shen Qiang feigned difficulty and said, "I apologize, Manager Xu, my Master is a bit of an eccentric and unsociable person. He strictly forbids me from mentioning his name, so let's instead talk about world peace."

This amused Xu Nan, "We probably shouldn't worry about world peace, right? Your Master must really be an esteemed person. The Grandmaster said that in this day and age, the number of people who can refine Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment doesn't exceed five, so even if you don't tell me, it wouldn't be difficult to guess who he is."

Shen Qiang's eyes curled into a smile, "If you can guess, then you're quite capable."

"Is it a woman?" Xu Nan ventured.

Seeing Shen Qiang purse his lips, Xu Nan laughed, "Alright, I won't guess anymore. But remember to keep your word, if you come across something good in the future, remember to bring it to Wanxin Hesheng."

Shen Qiang said, "No problem."

The two kept talking as they headed towards a large hall inside the third floor.

As soon as they entered the hall.

In just a moment, countless breaths swept over them.

Shen Qiang felt as if he was being stripped of his clothes and scrutinized.

Shen Qiang frowned.

Almost at the same time.

A gentle aura from Xu Nan unfolded like a bubble, not only subtly dispersing those probing breaths, but also enveloping Shen Qiang.

The warmth that felt like an embrace made Shen Qiang extremely comfortable.

"Please mind your manners, everyone. Our visitors are guests and fellow cultivators, not to be judged solely by their cultivation level," Xu Nan's voice made the people sitting on the sofas in the hall look at Shen Qiang with even more disdain.

A thin man sitting nearby on a sofa, peeling grapes, burst into laughter.

"Manager Xu really knows how to crack jokes. Among cultivators, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss. Not judging based on cultivation level, hehehe, that's a joke I could laugh at for three years," he said.

Xu Nan glanced at him coldly, not saying a word.

Shen Qiang's brows furrowed slightly, but he then let it go.

There was no helping it; it was just the reality.

In an ordinary gathering, people first look at attire and manners to judge a stranger's identity and status.

But in the eyes of cultivators, all talks of manners and attire are nothing but nonsense, respect is only accorded to those with high cultivation levels.

And this is precisely where Shen Qiang's current predicament lies.

With a poor foundation, having started cultivation at an older age, and coupled with the short amount of time, his current cultivation level had just barely reached the early stages of Qi Condensation.

If he were intentionally hiding his strength before.

He could force the True Qi circulating in his meridians to disperse into his bones and muscles, making it so that no one in the hall could sense the flow of True Qi within him.

Unfortunately,

Because he got caught up talking with Xu Nan, Shen Qiang hadn't put up any defenses.

So, when those auras swept over him, the True Qi in his body reacted instinctively.

The strength of someone at the early stage of Qi Condensation was clearly seen by everyone in the hall.

"Hey, kid, it's not your fault that your cultivation is poor, but standing next to Miss Xu is where you're wrong. Be smart and roll over to the back corner by yourself; don't wait for me to make a move."

Hearing this, the people in the hall said nothing, looking at Shen Qiang with strange expressions in their eyes.

Shen Qiang frowned and turned his head, instantly spotting a fatty with a face full of acne impatiently looking his way.

"Are you talking to me?"

The fatty with acne raised an eyebrow and said, "Hurry up and scram. Miss Xu is our young master's friend. A trash like you, who hasn't managed to reach Foundation Establishment after almost half a lifetime of cultivation, has no right to stand beside her."

Shen Qiang's eyebrows slanted downwards angrily.

Countless B-type influenza bacteria from the Plague Source stirred restlessly within him.

And just then, Xu Nan said solemnly, "If this vile servant continues to be so disrespectful, I'll have someone throw you out immediately."

Afterward, Xu Nan gave Shen Qiang a slight smile and said, "Don't mind him, find yourself a place to sit."

Shen Qiang let out a sigh of relief and smiled magnanimously.

Just at that moment, the fatty with acne said unhappily, "Hey, that kid over there, I'm talking to you. Keep your distance from Miss Xu. Don't even think about hitting on her when you're not even half her weight."

Xu Nan's complexion grew stern as a neatly dressed young man without a wrinkle in his shirt stepped beside her.

And at that moment,

A tranquil yet magnetic male voice sounded.

"Miss Xu, I apologize. It's my fault for not disciplining him properly, which led to his offensive words. Rest assured, when we get back, I'll make sure to teach him a lesson," the voice said.

Shen Qiang turned his head, then looked on in surprise.

A young man, who was just slightly taller than Shen Qiang, with fair skin and handsome features, was approaching.

He wore a pure white shirt with black diamonds and neat casual pants; the whole man looked not just incredibly handsome but also exuded an ease and proficiency.

He smiled at Xu Nan.

The tilt of his lips and the sparkle of his eyes.

He was even more handsome than the male leads in Korean dramas.

"Young master, I just thought that this guy was trying to compete with you for Miss Xu," the pimpled fatty explained.

The handsome young man glanced at Shen Qiang with a cool eyes and said with slight anger in a cold voice.

"Shut your mouth. Imagining such trash as my rival is practically an insult to me."
