Two hours later.

In the best residential complex of University City, Ji Liangchuan sat in front of the desk in his study, eyes wide with shock as he looked at the scattered case records on the table.

"Young Master Qi, this is just an accident. There has always been a saying in Huaxia from ancient times till now, 'folk remedies cure major diseases'. Regarding Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend, Shen Qiang was just lucky, it doesn't mean he's truly better than you."

"Shut up!" Ji Liangchuan turned his head, glaring at the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, who looked to be around forty, and angrily said, "Good luck? Is that really what you think? Look at these cases that Shen Qiang has handled."

"I won't mention the super fast surgery because that title of the fastest surgeon was given by tabloid reporters and can't be taken seriously."

"But what about his research on Thermophilic Streptococcus? How stable is it? Once successful, he will become the father of infant lactose. Yet your analytical report doesn't mention it at all. Besides, you told me Shen Qiang is unsettled, has no potential, and is not worth wooing."

The middle-aged man looked somewhat embarrassed, "Young Master Qi, Shen Qiang has only recently entered the Golden Core Stage, and at the time of evaluation, his cultivation had just reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Nobody expected that he would advance from the Foundation Establishment to the Golden Core Stage within a month."

"I've spent so much money hiring you, and you think you can get away with 'I didn't expect it'?" Ji Liangchuan's eyes filled with rage.

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, "I will make a re-evaluation as soon as possible. In fact, my assessments have all been very precise, it's just that this guy Shen Qiang is somewhat unexpected, his cultivation progress speed is too fast, almost as soon as our analysis reports are detailed, he has already entered the next stage."

Ji Liangchuan angrily said, "What I want to hear are not your excuses and apologies, understand? Just now, I, like a fool, said to Shen Qiang that even I could not cure Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend, and you, Shen Qiang, certainly couldn't."

"And what happened?" Ji Liangchuan raised an eyebrow, "Shen Qiang took only about twenty minutes to restore Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend's ability to walk, making me look like an incompetent and arrogant person, understand?"

The middle-aged man was embarrassed and said, "In fact, before this, Shen Qiang had not shown his medical skill outside of surgery to be that strong."

"Shut up." Ji Liangchuan angrily said, "Is his research on Thermophilic Streptococcus with Ju Yang a secret to you? Thermophilic Streptococcus is a bacterium, Botulinum Toxin is also a bacterium, if he can handle Thermophilic Streptococcus, he can handle Botulinum Toxin. The obvious connection between them, you couldn't think of that?"

The middle-aged man defended himself, "Young Master Qi, it was just an accident."

"Shut up!" The furious Ji Liangchuan slammed a pile of documents onto the face of the middle-aged man and said, "Your previous analysis report told me that Shen Qiang was an insignificant character not worth paying attention to, yes, I believed it, and what happened?"

"On the basketball court, he was hitting every shot, went to Shanghai, won the championship of the culinary contest, beat the Zhang Family, is said to be the King of Demons capable of summoning Great Demons, and after returning here, in a matter of days, he subdued Wu Zhaoyang whom I couldn't subdue in years."

"Is this the so-called inconsequential character you were talking about?" Ji Liangchuan said angrily, "Take a good look, really think about it, do you have any idea how powerful Shen Qiang is now in Provincial City? He's the patriarch of the Zhong Family. Both Bai Jiao and Xu Nan have good relationships with him, and that woman by his side, her cultivation is above the Mixed Element Realm. Now, since he's taken my list of people to woo, if he really manages to win them all over, it won't be long before you realize that Provincial City is Shen Qiang's territory!"

"What have I been doing all these years here? What do you think I care about that degree for?"

Ji Liangchuan said angrily, "What I care about is that this is University City, where I can attract talent. They can help me do many things, they can help me consolidate my position, and once the timing is right, I can establish a foothold here."

The middle-aged man said helplessly, "Young Master Ji, the Zhong Family is feeble; they are merely a medical family. In Provincial City, the truly powerful forces aren't them. Even if Shen Qiang wins over everyone on the list, even if Cheng Xinyi and Wanxin Hesheng want to help him, Shen Qiang won't be able to contend with the real local powerhouses."

"So why the rush?" the middle-aged man said, raising an eyebrow. "Currently, Shen Qiang isn't strong enough to pose a threat to Doushi Temple or Huayan Sword Sect, so whether the Zhong Family acts arrogantly or Shen Qiang acts high and mighty, they pay them no mind."

"But once Shen Qiang truly rises, those who will deal with him won't be us, but the monks of Doushi Temple and the people of Huayan Sword Sect. By then, Shen Qiang is bound to lose. If you truly wish to have Shen Qiang bow down to you, all you'll need to tell him then is that you can save him, and he will surely kneel before you, begging for your help."

Hearing these words, Ji Liangchuan was stunned for a moment before saying, "Are you implying that even if Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong follow Shen Qiang, as long as I deal with Shen Qiang, they will all be mine?"

The middle-aged man laughed, "That's right, and it's not just that. Shen Qiang and the people around him, all his resources, including the Zhong Family, that Mixed Element Realm expert, his Datong River Restaurant, and his medical skills—if it is indeed true, as rumors suggest, that Shen Qiang can summon demons, then your gains could be even greater."

Ji Liangchuan fell silent for a moment before saying, "Are you saying I should just let Shen Qiang fight for the people on the list?"

The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, "You gave him the list, but you never promised you'd stop recruiting those people. So, you can still proceed with your plans. As for Shen Qiang, we will provide a prepared assessment to facilitate your conquest of him."

Ji Liangchuan took a deep breath and nodded, "To shoot the men first, shoot the horses. To catch the thieves first, catch the king. Shen Qiang is quite capable, and well-suited to be my lackey, so I've decided to follow your suggestion and continue to devise ways to subjugate him. But that doesn't mean I will forgive you for making me look like a fool in front of him."

The middle-aged man smiled, "Young Master Ji, you are endowed with rare talent, a super elite in the Cultivation World among the younger generation, with medical skills above first-rate, also adept at alchemy. Even you thought that Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend's illness couldn't improve; how could we have foreseen such an unexpected turn?"

"Instead of blaming our assessment, it's better to give us a chance to do some research anew. We can help you achieve your dreams."

Ji Liangchuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll give you a chance."

"Thank you, Young Master Ji." The middle-aged man bowed and retreated. At the door, he hesitated before saying tentatively, "There's one more thing I think I should tell you about. Recently, Jing Haotian's sister has often been lurking around the neighborhood where Shen Qiang lives. Young Master Four went to see her yesterday, and she made it clear that she would rather marry a pig than marry Young Master Four. So, I think you should advise Young Master Four to leave this place."
