Wan Xin He Sheng Auction House.
When Shen Qiang casually handed over the Blood Ganoderma wrapped in a plastic bag to the beautiful manager of Wan Xin He Sheng, Xu Nan, her eyes popped.
She was stunned for a full half a minute.
Xu Nan joyfully clutched the still damp and dirty plastic bag.
"Blood Ganoderma! It's really Blood Ganoderma!" After her excitement, Xu Nan complained to Shen Qiang with delight, "Mr. Shen, how can you treat such a precious exotic treasure so casually?"
"If something had happened along the way, wouldn't it have been a lifelong regret?"
This left Shen Qiang speechless.
What sort of thing could cause lifelong regret?
This Blood Ganoderma was just the worst kind that Shen Qiang had cultivated, and he had plenty of it; if it wasn't for the fact that this variety grew quickly and was easy to keep alive, he would have been too lazy to even plant it.
Not to put too fine a point on it.
If it were just for alchemy for his own use, Shen Qiang would never use this kind of Blood Ganoderma; he would simply throw it into the trash can.
"Keep it safe and have them guard it without moving an inch," the beautiful manager Xu Nan instructed the young man whose shirt didn't have a single wrinkle with care.
The young man promised with a gleam in his eye, "Don't worry, Manager... I will tell the four of them—they can die, but this precious Blood Ganoderma must absolutely not be touched by anyone else."
Manager Xu Nan nodded, "As long as you understand."
Watching the two of them with their serious faces, Shen Qiang felt a bit awkward and said, "Actually, you don't need to take this thing so seriously."
"How could we not take it seriously; this is an exotic treasure!" Manager Xu Nan's sharp eyes shone as she said, "Last time, I didn't manage to buy one and got scolded by the boss terribly."
"This time, no matter what, I must keep this Blood Ganoderma."
Looking at Shen Qiang, Manager Xu Nan tentatively said, "How about we settle on the price from last time? Fifteen million, Wan Xin He Sheng will buy it, is that okay?"
Shen Qiang's eyes lit up.
Fifteen million for a trash Blood Ganoderma.
This was way more lucrative than any high-end spa!
But despite the burning desire in his heart, Shen Qiang still held back the urge to agree immediately, and instead said, "Let's auction this one. If Manager Xu really wants it, I have another one that's even better."
"Not only is the Ganoderma on top larger, but there are also two of them."
Manager Xu Nan's eyes instantly sparkled as she probed, "Did you cultivate this Blood Ganoderma yourself?"
Shen Qiang laughed.
This was, in fact, something that could not be kept a secret.
If it was a single Blood Ganoderma, then he could claim he found it, but since Shen Qiang would undoubtedly sell plenty of them, hiding this fact would be very difficult.
Especially since he bought the cultivation medium for the Blood Ganoderma at the market.
Even for Shen Qiang, claiming it was wild just seemed a bit too far-fetched to say.
So after a slight hesitation, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I have a friend, he's pretty good at this kind of thing."
Xu Nan's eyes immediately widened.
"That's amazing! We at Wan Xin He Sheng have never stopped experimenting with cultivating Blood Ganoderma, but have never succeeded, how did your friend do it?"
As the image of the Plague Source muttering and waving its leaves came to mind, Shen Qiang laughed, "Um, he likes to eat it."
Xu Nan was astounded.
Watching her full of confusion, and not wanting to delve into the topic, Shen Qiang spoke, "Let's just settle the matter of Blood Ganoderma like this: we'll auction one normally, then I'll sell a better one to you privately."
Xu Nan was silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, it's a deal."
Afterward, Shen Qiang took out a small bottle of Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment, and said, "Here is a bottle of Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment, which can mend broken bones in an extremely short time."
"How short is an extremely short time?" Xu Nan asked curiously.
After thinking for a bit, Shen Qiang replied, "For ordinary fractures, after bone setting, it starts working in one minute, and for severe cases, three minutes, it's applied externally."
"Really?" Xu Nan was astonished.
Shen Qiang nodded, "Aside from that, there's Nalan Xingde's thumb ring. His poetry may be beautiful, but I personally don't fancy thumb rings. If it can be sold, I'd prefer to sell it off."
"No problem!" Xu Nan's eyes sparkled brightly.
"The rest is up to you, then. I'm going to take a look outside; maybe I will buy some things, too."
Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Xu Nan quickly nodded.
After Shen Qiang left,
Xu Nan, staring at the small bottle of Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment, said in a deep voice, "Quickly get Master Tai here and tell him we have Blood Ganoderma and Bone Healing Ointment."
A young man with an impeccably smooth shirt promptly nodded.
After he had also left,
Manager Xu Nan, with her brows tightly knit, murmured, "Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment, the legendary Spiritual Medicine... Shen Qiang, who exactly are you?"
Exiting the manager's office,
Shen Qiang headed straight to the exhibition hall.
At this moment, some VIP guests were already looking at items inside the exhibition hall.
As soon as Shen Qiang entered the exhibition hall,
Mr. Ma, whom he hadn't seen for many days, walked over with a laugh, clapped Shen Qiang on the shoulder, and chuckled, "Little brother, I was wondering why I hadn't seen you on Antique Street recently. It turns out you're a famous doctor."
"Indeed, I never imagined that the doctor notoriously known in the news for not saving certain patients was actually you," Sun Kaiping also came over and said.
Looking at the two of them, all smiles, Shen Qiang laughed, "I haven't been to Antique Street lately, indeed I've been a bit busy. How about you two, have you acquired any good items recently?"
Mr. Ma laughed somewhat awkwardly, "A little, but there hasn't been much good stuff."
Upon hearing this, Sun Kaiping chuckled, showing his molar teeth, "There are plenty of good items. Didn't you spend seven hundred thousand on a plastic Copper Tripod a few days ago, old Ma? Come on, tell Shen about what was going through your mind at that moment."
Mr. Ma's face turned a bit red, but then he also laughed, "Damn, some people really are scoundrels, creating a plastic Copper Tripod. The sound of it when knocked on was very convincing; I was greedy for a deal, and my heart got the better of me, so I bought it."
The three of them laughed for a while, and Sun Kaiping said, "Little Shen, even though you've been on the news recently and are said to be a good doctor, I still think you'd be better off opening a shop on Antique Street."
"Had you been there on Antique Street to take a look for old Ma, he wouldn't have thrown away seven hundred thousand."
Shen Qiang laughed, "I am a doctor; that would be too unprofessional of me."
Mr. Ma frowned and said, "Little Shen, you have to understand, even if you work in a big hospital, how much can you make in a month after exhausting yourself? On our Antique Street, with your eye for detail, you could easily flip anything and make more than you do as a doctor."
"So, you might as well change careers. Come to Antique Street, I'll help you find a shop, and as a boss, you'll make easy money."
Shen Qiang laughed, "Antiques can't be mass-produced; putting all one's energy into something that depends on luck isn't my style. Compared to antiques, being a doctor might not make money as quickly, but running a hospital or a pharmaceutical factory is a different story."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma and Sun Kaiping's eyes instantly lit up.
"If you were to open a hospital or a pharmaceutical factory, would you need a partner?"
Looking at the two of them, their eyes somewhat greedy, Shen Qiang laughed and, while transferring fifteen million to Sun Kaiping via mobile transfer, said, "If the opportunity arises, I will discuss it with you."
