Shen Qiang was astonished, followed immediately by ecstasy.

He knew the uses of the Plague Source leaves like the back of his hand. There were three types of leaves, which collected bacteria, viruses, and fungi, respectively, while also promoting the evolution of these microorganisms and producing antibodies.

Previously, there was only one leaf of each type, and they were already so powerful they were astonishing.

Now, with just one evolution, the same parts of the plant had grown two additional leaves each, which meant that Shen Qiang could almost immediately have six more types of microorganisms at his disposal.

"Let the leaves be empty for now, what they should consume, daddy will tell you, okay?"

With an excited gaze, Shen Qiang anxiously looked at the Plague Source, which promptly agreed as it waved its nine leaves.

But just as Shen Qiang was excitedly pondering obtaining samples of tuberculosis and SARS bacteria, the information that came from the Plague Source next was shocking.

"Three leaves share one branch system, so you can only select microorganisms of the same type."

Shen Qiang was startled and quickly observed to find that it was indeed so.

The new leaves had sprouted from the base of the existing ones, which meant that although there were six additional leaves, the choice of microorganism types wasn't as versatile as he had imagined.

For the leaf storing the influenza B virus, Shen Qiang had already made an instant decision.

The future two types of viruses would inevitably be influenza A and avian influenza.

With these two viruses, given 72 hours to evolve, Shen Qiang would not only be capable of killing invisibly with the viruses but also effortlessly neutralize these two types of flu, in addition to the original influenza B. Controlling such a common illness would be a piece of cake for him.

Besides, the choices for fungi and bacteria were wide.

First with Ganoderma, wild Lingzhi is categorized into five classes of six types, and the commonly recognized varieties of Lingzhi amount to sixty-four. Shen Qiang only needed to pick two more of the most useful Lingzhi types.

For example, Blood Ganoderma, Mo Yunzhi, and Jade Ganoderma are actually different varieties within a major class of Lingzhi.

Collecting them all would require at least six leaves.

So three types weren't too many at all.

As for the streptococcus, the types are too numerous to count. The exact two additional types to include would mainly depend on which posed the greatest harm.

After all, having the samples of these bacteria wasn't only for self-defense; the main function was that as the Plague Source promoted the evolution of the microorganisms, it could also produce antibodies for treatment purposes.

After all, Shen Qiang was a doctor.

If they couldn't be used for curing diseases, what was the difference between these microorganisms and garbage?

Even though the Plague Source had advanced and the Star Moon's Protection had been obtained, and it could be said that everything was going great, Shen Qiang opened his eyes to realize it was already past two in the morning.

He left the matter of cultivation to Qingxuan.

Shen Qiang fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning.

As soon as the sun had just lit up the curtains, Shen Qiang received a call from Xu Nan.

She said she couldn't wait to get her hands on the Blood Ganoderma.

Sleepy-eyed Shen Qiang told her to come over to his house in two hours, saying it was all ready.

Xu Nan was overjoyed.

But then Shen Qiang lay down again and went back to sleep.

After getting up, Shen Qiang went downstairs and took a turn in the planting garden. The cuttings of the Purple Vine hadn't taken root yet, but it seemed they would most likely survive.

Thus, Shen Qiang's eyes were filled with anticipation, just waiting for them to sprout a bit of root. As soon as they did, he would immediately use the main stem to refine Qi Gathering Powder, and completing his Qi Condensation period cultivation would be just around the corner.

Besides that, choosing a Lingzhi for Xu Nan made Shen Qiang hesitate slightly.

In fact, ordinary Blood Ganoderma grew quickly and thrived. Some of the larger ones had already grown bigger than the mouth of a bowl.

For selling to others, naturally, he should choose this kind without hesitation.

But ever since he met Xu Nan, she had been helping Shen Qiang all along.

From the initial Blood Coral and Nalan Xingde's finger ring to the Storage Ring and the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, without her help, Shen Qiang's journey might not have been so smooth sailing.

So after a bit of thought,

from a large batch of Thousand-year-old Blood Ganoderma, Shen Qiang selected one that looked particularly well-grown with two stalks on the cultivation stick.

Normally, with Shen Qiang's attitude towards these things, he would have casually thrown them into the flowerbed in the garden on the terrace and been done with it.

Considering it was for Xu Nan, Shen Qiang found a large trash bag in the kitchen to cover it with, and then placed it on the stone table in the garden on the terrace.

Right after Shen Qiang started brushing his teeth, the impatient Xu Nan was already at the door.

With the toothbrush in his mouth and a mouthful of foam, Shen Qiang opened the door and was quite surprised to see that behind Xu Nan, not only was there the young man with the crisply ironed shirt without a single wrinkle but also an energetic old man with a full head of white hair.

He looked to be in his sixties, but his eyes were very bright.

Although Shen Qiang couldn't yet see through his cultivation level, by gut feeling, he assumed the old man must be a cultivator as well.

With the toothbrush in his mouth, Shen Qiang nodded to them as a greeting, then pointed to the flower garden on the terrace and said, "It's on the stone table in the terrace garden, go and take it yourself."

Without paying further attention to the astonished Xu Nan, Shen Qiang went straight back to the washroom.

He hadn't brushed his teeth for long when he heard the old man on the terrace exclaim with a trembling voice, "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, The Three Pure Ones bless us! It's actually a Thousand-year-old Blood Ganoderma!"

Shen Qiang was slightly taken aback, but then he just smirked lightly. Blood Ganoderma itself was already quite rare, and the impact the Thousand-year-old quality ones could have on those who knew their stuff was definitely incomparable.

Previously, Shen Qiang was a bit worried that Xu Nan might think he broke his promise, because the Thousand-year-old Blood Ganoderma didn't have heads as big as the ordinary ones.

Now it seemed, Shen Qiang was worrying unnecessarily.

Wan Xin Hesheng was strong in valuing items; the likes of not knowing the goods, how could that happen to them?

Leisurely brushing his teeth and washing his face, getting everything done, Shen Qiang changed his shoes and walked out to the terrace garden.

At a glance, he saw the old man with a full head of white hair, focusing intently, meticulously placing the Thousand-year-old Blood Ganoderma, still in the dirty cultivation stick, into a delicately carved, exquisite white jade treasure box.

Afterward, he carefully dusted the dirt from the cultivation stick that had fallen onto the stone table, using a magnifying glass in his left hand and a small brush in his right. The crisply ironed young man squatted beside the table, steadying the white jade treasure box to catch the dirt swept in by the old man.

Just then a breeze came by, a small flake from the decaying leaves on the cultivation stick was blown up, and the old man's eyes narrowed. His body moved with lightning speed to catch the flake, carefully placing it into the treasure box with great importance, he solemnly instructed the neatly dressed young man, "This soil is essential for the survival of the Thousand-year-old Blood Ganoderma, not a single bit can be lost, be careful."

The young man with the crisply ironed shirt nodded, replying respectfully, "Master, please be assured, I will protect them as if I were protecting the young miss."

The old man nodded, pleased.

Shen Qiang couldn't help laughing out loud.

This big cultivation stick, retail price three yuan fifty each, should I tell him or not?
