Cautiously controlling the fluctuations of his True Qi, Shen Qiang tried to communicate with the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada in the patient's brain.

The Medical Saint inheritance was profound and extensive.

In the aspect of Gu Poison as well, it was an absolute expert.

If it had been after his Foundation Establishment Stage, facing this obviously unclaimed Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada, Shen Qiang could not guarantee he could subjugate it, but expelling it would not be a problem.

Unfortunately, at present, Shen Qiang's cultivation was only at the Spiritual Movement Stage.

Thus, even though he desired a treasure like the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada, due to his lack of strength, he was utterly incapable of subduing it. The only method was to lure it out by using fresh blood as bait.

Afterward, if he truly could not subdue it, the only option would be to find a way to control it and refine it with a Furnace Tripod sealed by an Immortal Sealing Technique.

"What kind of treatment is this?" the chief of neurology frowned. "The smell of fresh blood, can it really guide that bug to crawl out on its own?"

The chief of neurosurgery was also full of doubts, saying, "Maybe it's possible, but can the smell of blood go through the eardrum?"

"Impossible," the neurologist insisted.

Shen Qiang remained silent.

In fact, the incense used to nourish the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada was originally refined from the bones of young children, and the human blood, with the fluctuations of True Qi, would emit a vibration similar to incense.

This was an irresistible temptation for both the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada and the Blood Corpse Golden Cicada.

"The bug is moving," the doctor monitoring the equipment exclaimed in shock. "It's moving very fast, my god, it moves one centimeter per second, it's going to mash the patient's brain."

Looking up at the startled crowd, Shen Qiang said, "Don't look at the image, check the patient's vitals."

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

And then they were shocked to find that, despite the bug moving rapidly through the patient's brain.

The patient's data was not only not deteriorating but was actually improving.

The intracranial pressure stabilized.

The blood pressure came down.

The heart rate and breathing both gradually returned to normal.

"How is this possible?"

"It's unbelievable."

And while they were baffled, the doctor in front of the monitor suddenly shouted, "Look, the bug has actually entered the ear canal!"

Clang!

Swish, swish, swish!

Almost simultaneously with the doctor's surprise.

The plastic measuring cup in Shen Qiang's hand shook.

Then Shen Qiang clearly saw a tiny bug, the size of a rice grain, plunging headfirst into the bloodstain inside the plastic measuring cup.

Shen Qiang flipped his hand.

He immediately turned the plastic cup upside down on the table beside him.

Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada!

Looking at the tiny bug in the plastic measuring cup, Shen Qiang's heart thumped wildly.

This little bug was a genuine exotic treasure.

Although its refining technique was extremely evil.

This thing required three hundred years to successfully refine.

If he was not mistaken.

It must've been at least three hundred years ago that someone refined this Golden Cicada and buried it in a cave.

But for some reason.

Maybe he had no descendants, or perhaps the descendants were no longer capable of finding it.

Or it could just be a hiker's accidental discovery.

Now, it had fallen into Shen Qiang's hands.

This was a treasure.

The Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada's strength was already formidable.

If combined with the Gu Refining Technique from the Medical Saint inheritance, it could become even stronger.

Not only that.

Its presence nearly instantly reminded Shen Qiang of his Blood Ganoderma.

He had cultivated an entire layer of it.

For both ordinary people and cultivators, it was a treasure, a substantial property.

But just yesterday.

Qian Shanxue and that girl not only entered Shen Qiang's home silently, but that girl also casually picked a Blood Ganoderma as if it were a mushroom and threw it on the coffee table.

At that time, perhaps the girl thought that a whole layer of Blood Ganoderma wasn't rare or valuable.

But what if the person who went there was fairly knowledgeable about this area?

They would clean out the entire floor of Blood Ganoderma.

If Shen Qiang could subdue the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada, then everything would be different.

The trait of the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada is that it has intelligence.

Moreover, it retains the habit of cleanliness.

If it were to be kept at home, not only would there be no need for a cleaner, any cultivator below the Nascent Soul Stage would just be marching to their deaths, with not a single chance of survival.

But the difficulty of subduing this little guy right now is simply too high.

It has intelligence; Shen Qiang lured it out from the patient's brain only because he mimicked the fluctuation of incense.

Such a skill

can only be used on the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada once.

Because it had just left that jar, the memory of the incense was fresh, so it could be tricked.

But this kind of cicada has intelligence.

The same method won't fool it a second time.

Clang, clang, shush, shush!

The cicada within the plastic cup seemed to realize it had been deceived and began to strike against the plastic cup restlessly. Clearly, the plastic was no match to contain the cicada.

Because it could transform, meaning, the next instant, it could silently penetrate the plastic cup.

"Under these circumstances, the most secure method is to cover it with a Furnace Tripod sealed by an Immortal Sealing Technique and then inset it into the Storage Ring." Shen Qiang's thought process was clear, and he knew exactly what to do.

"Doctor Shen! You did it!" The excited director of neurology gripped Shen Qiang's shoulders with both hands.

And just when Shen Qiang was distracted, thinking of speaking to him,

the director of neurosurgery next to him pushed away his hand, "Where's the bug? Let me see, what kind of ghost thing is it?"

Shen Qiang was instantly horrified with no guard up!

"Don't!"

But by this time, the deputy director of neurosurgery had already flipped open the plastic cup.

A flash of gold.

The director of neurosurgery exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, it's gone."

The fingertips that had been cut previously went numb, and Shen Qiang, desperately wanting to curse, already clearly felt the cicada, following the scent of fresh blood, penetrating his skin.

"Darn useless teammates! You've doomed me!"

True Qi surged wildly within his body.

But still, he was unable to prevent the invasion of the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada.

"Cicada Gu!"

In his mind, Qingxuan dashed forward at once, her actions sharp.

But she was, after all, only a Soul Spirit Body and just consumed all of Shen Qiang's True Qi in an instant.

The momentarily obstructed Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada immediately showed its ferocity, accelerating its invasion.

I'm dead for sure!

Shen Qiang's complexion turned pale.

The director of neurosurgery, shocked, looked at Shen Qiang and frowned, "Doctor Shen, what's wrong with you? Your complexion doesn't look right."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang wished he could smack the man hard across the face.

Dammit, you've already doomed me, and you still ask?

"Maybe there's an issue with the surveillance equipment, I checked that cup, and there was nothing inside," the director of neurosurgery earnestly told the other doctors.

And at this time, Shen Qiang, whose True Qi had already depleted, gave up all hope.

I'm dead for sure! It's all over!

Goodbye, my love!

Goodbye, my dreams!

Goodbye...

But just at that moment.

Shen Qiang's body suddenly trembled.

In his mind, the cute Plague Source, waving its three leaves, unleashed a dense network of tiny roots that erupted instantaneously, spreading like minute blood vessels, swiftly enveloping Shen Qiang's entire body.

Even the transformable cicada

was imprisoned in an instant.

In an instant, Shen Qiang felt the Plague Source's extremely excited emotions.

"Delicious! Delicious! Want to eat! Want to eat!"
