Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Ali scoffed disdainfully.

"Someone like you, who hasn't even completed the Qi Condensation phase, dares to say there's someone more formidable than Gan Chengzhi? Isn't this just sour grapes? Frankly speaking, you don't even measure up to a little toe of Gan Chengzhi!"

Shen Qiang laughed, thinking to himself, "Damn, that guy has been collecting points for six years and still couldn't afford Star Moon's Protection. I sorted it out in just over a dozen hours. Does he even qualify to compare with me?"

But he knew it was better to keep that thought to himself; taking her seriously wasn't worth it.

At that moment, Qian Shanxue spoke, "Ali, Shen Qiang's cultivation might be weak, but his medical skills are quite remarkable."

"He's just here to mooch points!" Ali insisted stubbornly.

Then, Shen Qiang's phone rang. He glanced at it; it was still the same number.

Shen Qiang stood up and said, "You guys go ahead, I'll go downstairs to hurry them along with the rest of the dishes and get some drinks for you."

The two said nothing.

Shen Qiang headed straight downstairs.

As soon as he stepped out of Han City Cuisine, an even more terrifying oppressive force than Qian Shanxue's enveloped Shen Qiang in an instant.

Shen Qiang immediately noticed the three people standing in front of him.

The leader was a very imposing middle-aged man.

The man next to him with a sinister gaze made Shen Qiang pause.

He was the man ranked second on the Bounty Hunters platform, with a bounty even higher than Qian Shanxue's.

And almost as soon as the thought crossed Shen Qiang's mind,

Qian Shanxue had already instantaneously appeared by his side.

She and the three men all paused in surprise.

"Colonel Qian Shanxue?" the three exchanged glances.

Qian Shanxue was also surprised, "General Ou?"

While everyone was greeting each other, Shen Qiang coughed and said, "Since you all know each other, that makes things easier. According to the shopping mall's exchange regulations, the items swapped should be confidential, right?"

Director Liu's eyes lit up, "Exactly, the items recovered are confidential as well."

After a brief hesitation, Director Liu said, "General Ou and Colonel Qian can have a chat; we'll head to the car."

Saying so, Director Liu turned to lead the way.

The three men walked to a black Iveco armored transport vehicle parked on the street beside Han City Cuisine.

With a flick of his wrist, three bags marked with urea appeared inside the vehicle.

Director Liu was taken aback.

The man beside him turned cold, "Are you playing us?"

Shen Qiang smiled, unsealed the bags, and then said, "Here it is, see for yourself."

Before the man could speak, Director Liu hurried forward. When he saw the Gathering Qi Powder in the bags, he froze, his voice dry and somewhat trembly, "Old Li, check the goods."

The man beside him also froze.

He then took a little from the surface, bottom, and middle layers of the bag with a small scoop and carefully placed it in his mouth.

The medicine had just entered his mouth.

His expression changed, and he looked at Shen Qiang with shock in his eyes.

Director Liu asked anxiously, "Old Li, what's wrong? Is there something amiss?"

"Wait a moment!" Old Li's expression was solemn, and then he slowly closed his eyes.

Shen Qiang grew impatient at this scene, "What about Star Moon's Protection?"

Without even glancing at Shen Qiang, Director Liu said, "It's brought, just as long as there's nothing wrong with your Gathering Qi Powder, I will give it to you immediately."

As soon as he had said this,

Old Li, who was tasting the medicine, already opened his eyes.

"How is it? Is it Gathering Qi Powder?"

"No!"

Upon hearing Old Li's words, both Shen Qiang and Director Liu frowned.

But at that moment, Old Li's eyes gleamed brightly as he burst into hearty laughter, brimming with ecstasy, "This isn't just Gathering Qi Powder, it's an extremely premium Gathering Qi Powder!"

Shen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it was just a false alarm. Damn it, if this wasn't good, all his efforts would have been in vain.

At that moment, Director Liu was stunned, his eyes wide open as he exclaimed, "Premium Gathering Qi Powder?"

Old Li nodded excitedly, and said with exhilaration, "Director Liu, just try it and you'll know. This is absolutely the best Gathering Qi Powder I've tried in my life. It's far purer than ordinary Gathering Qi Powder. If I weren't sure it was Gathering Qi Powder, when it produced True Qi, I might even have thought I was taking a low-quality Pei Yuan Pill."

"Really?" Director Liu's eyes bulged out as he hurriedly took the scoop from Old Li's hand. He seemed to have a thought, and from another bag layered top, middle, and bottom, he took a little of each, and after tasting it in his mouth for a moment, his eyes shone brightly as he roared with laughter.

"Just as I thought, just as I thought, haha, such pure Gathering Qi Powder, its effects are actually comparable to a low-quality Pei Yuan Pill, premium, truly premium!"

But as he laughed, tears had already sprung from the corners of his eyes.

Meanwhile, Old Li gave a gentle flick of his wrist, and three bags of Gathering Qi Powder floated momentarily in the air; excitedly he declared, "The quantity is nice, after peeling, still more than two hundred kgs left."

Hearing this, Director Liu looked at the three snake-skin bags of Gathering Qi Powder and lamented deeply, "What a waste of heaven's gifts, how could such premium Gathering Qi Powder be stored in such poor-quality bags!"

Shen Qiang felt a bit embarrassed, "I think they're quite good. Urea bags with a plastic film inside, they're moisture-proof, quite convenient too."

"A waste of heaven's gifts, a waste of heaven's gifts!" The deeply distressed Director Liu hurriedly stored the three snake-skin bags of Gathering Qi Powder into his Storage Ring, then with an excited look in his eyes, he asked, "Did you refine this?"

Seeing his almost-ready-to-hug gaze, Shen Qiang hurriedly said, "No, definitely not me, it was a weird person I know."

Upon hearing this, Director Liu looked puzzled.

Old Li on the side felt relieved and solemnly said, "Hmm, that must be the truth. For someone to refine Gathering Qi Powder to such purity, this person's mastery in Elixir Pills must be absolutely top-notch, reaching the pinnacle of perfection, definitely an immortal-like senior. A young person like you definitely couldn't do this."

"What's his name? Where does he live? What's your relationship with him? How do we find him?" Director Liu, full of excitement, bombarded him with questions like a rapid-fire cannon.

Shen Qiang was embarrassed, knowing he would need to sell many medicines in the future, so breaking off the relationship completely was definitely impossible.

So after hesitating a bit, Shen Qiang resorted to the same story he had used to fool Xu Nan.

"Uh, he's a weird person, I don't even know his name or where he lives. I'm his nominal disciple. He always comes to find me. He thinks my talent is too poor, so he just gave me four bags of this stuff, but I've almost finished one bag, and it's hardly of any use, so naturally I just traded it for other things."

Old Li looked at Shen Qiang with a ghost-seeing look of disdain, deeply distressed and lamenting, "Such premium Gathering Qi Powder, and you, after consuming a whole bag, are only at the early stage of Qi Condensation? Such talent, even a pig, after eating one bag, would have reached Foundation Establishment long ago."

Upon hearing this, Director Liu's eyes narrowed sharply as he interrogated, "That's impossible. If your talent is that poor, why would that senior be interested in you? He'd have no reason to invest in you. What could possibly attract him to you?"
