After work, Geng Liang insisted on having dinner with Shen Qiang, Zhong Yongxi, and Director Liu. Unable to refuse, Shen Qiang had no choice but to call Bai Jiao and tell her that he indeed had plans for the evening and they would have dinner another day.

After drinking until half past nine at night, Shen Qiang went home.

Su Xiaonuan wasn't there; the doll-making and costume-making expert was doing something unknown in the workshop.

Still very sober, Shen Qiang had no time to attend to other matters. Once he returned to the bedroom, he directly took out the Tricolor Motherless Fruit, also known as the Earth Spirit Embryo.

This object was crucial, a real treasure.

And because the people of the Cultivation World simply regarded it as a culinary ingredient, Shen Qiang had acquired it for the lowest price, which had earned him the ridicule of many.

But it didn't matter.

Firstly, Shen Qiang didn't lack five million.

Secondly, if the Earth Spirit Embryo cultivation was successful, it would bring Shen Qiang not just a vast amount of money but, more importantly, control over life itself.

With some tension, he placed his finger on the Earth Spirit Embryo.

After a slight tremor, joy from the Plague Source reverberated from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

"Delicious, delicious!"

While he was excited, Shen Qiang observed nervously.

After all, the Earth Spirit Embryo was far too important.

Especially when he thought of his parents, who were still back in his hometown.

Both of them were getting on in years.

If he could successfully refine the Jiazi Pill, he could extend their lives by sixty years.

As a son, what could be more important than this to do?

"Success!"

Almost simultaneous with Shen Qiang's worries, Shen Qiang excitedly discovered that, within the three leaves of the Plague Source Fungus, not only had the central leaf started to develop a three-colored Earth Spirit Embryo Fungus, evolving to a higher level, but the other two leaves had also begun to sprout fungus.

One was the White Truffle and the other was the Black Truffle.

The appearance of these two truffles excited Shen Qiang; although they weren't edible, they were precious delicacies with a high price tag. If they could be cultivated extensively, their economic benefits could not be underestimated.

He observed the evolution of the Earth Spirit Embryo Fungus with delight.

Inevitably, Shen Qiang's attention shifted to the blank leaf on the bacterial branch.

There were a plethora of bacteria, abundant and ubiquitous. Assuming the Plague Source had now grown into a towering tree, then Shen Qiang could collect any kind of bacterium at will.

However, the current situation was that the Plague Source could only accommodate two types of microbes on each of the three branches: bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

For viruses, he had collected two types: the Type A, B, C Influenza and three strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

For fungi, he currently had Lingzhi and the Earth Spirit Embryo.

As for bacteria, he had the Thermophilic Streptococcus and Pneumococcus, which belonged to the same family, thus both bacteria were found in the first stage of the leaves.

But as for which bacteria to include next, Shen Qiang felt there was no need to rush.

Since there are so many types of bacteria, once identified, they can be collected at any time. Whether the Plague Source grows larger or breaks through in its cultivation, it is evidently not something that can be achieved at will. Therefore, Shen Qiang preferred to leave the blank leaf on the bacterial branch empty rather than hastily include any useless bacteria.

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the Earth Spirit Embryo Fungus both began to evolve successfully.

Laying his concerns to rest, Shen Qiang turned his head and instantly caught sight of Qingxuan standing beside him.

At that moment, she was dressed in a delicately made denim jacket, unbuttoned, with a dark, short, midriff-baring top that was nearly bursting at the seams due to her full bosom.

Below her smooth, flawless belly was a pair of equally intricate denim shorts, which outlined her figure as fiercely alluring as a Western cowgirl from a movie or television show.

Those long, snowy white legs of hers, encased in black, metallic-looking flat Martin boots, exuded both sexiness and charm, yet also a rambunctious spirit.

Especially now, with her head topped with big, curly waves of jet-black hair, adorned with a wide and elaborately crafted cowboy hat, decorated along the brim with a row of ornamental ammo clips, holding three decorative bullets.

Seeing Shen Qiang's eyes shining brightly at her, Qingxuan's pretty face flushed with no apparent reason, and she then respectfully kneeled on one knee before Shen Qiang, looking up and said, "Master, isn't this outfit a bit too strange?"

Shen Qiang smiled, reached out to gently pull her up, and said, "There's nothing strange about it. You look very beautiful in this outfit."

Hearing this, Qingxuan's eyes gleamed with a hint of smug satisfaction.

But then, with clear-eyed directness, Shen Qiang said, "However, it is getting late. How about we start the Dual Cultivation now?"

At that, Qingxuan's pretty face turned beet red.

"Qingxuan is at the master's command."

Shen Qiang was very pleased with her reaction and couldn't help but nod, "Then let's take these clothes off first."

Early the next morning, when the sunlight was spilling over the windowsill,

the True Qi swirling rapidly around Shen Qiang gradually calmed down.

Deep within the Sea of Consciousness, Shen Qiang, who held the pale and beautiful Qingxuan in his arms, looked at her as she bashfully hid in his embrace, unable to look at him, his heart inevitably filled with even more tenderness.

Qingxuan.

The Qingxuan General from Central State of the Immortal Realm, whose mother was the wet nurse of the Yong Zhen Empress, thus she and Yong Zhen Emperor were as close as sisters.

If it weren't for Shen Qiang,

she would probably still be at war in Central State of the Immortal Realm, enjoying the adulation of thousands.

Gently lifting Qingxuan's chin with his finger, her face was flushed and her beautiful eyes looked shyly at Shen Qiang as he kissed her.

But he couldn't feel any warmth or softness, nor could he smell even a hint of her fragrance.

This inevitably made Shen Qiang sigh.

After all, she was still just a Spiritual Body, and even though they were in each other's arms and had undergone Dual Cultivation, it still felt as unreal as a dream.

Sensing Shen Qiang's disappointment, Qingxuan sighed softly, "Please give Qingxuan a little more time. Although I may not have the supreme talent of Emperor Yong Zhen, within at most a hundred years, I should be able to cultivate into a Ghost Immortal. By then, although I can't accompany the master back to save Central State of the Immortal Realm, I can bond with a female body and Dual Cultivate with the master."

Shen Qiang blinked and then laughed, "How could I possibly let you become a Ghost Immortal who can never return to the Immortal Realm? Don't forget, I am the heir to the Medical Saint. Even though you've undergone Soldier Disintegration, as long as we can find a body suitable for you, I can settle your soul!"

Hearing this, Qingxuan suddenly sat up, her beautiful eyes wide with shock as she looked at Shen Qiang, "Master, do you mean you can help Qingxuan to undergo Body Seizing Rebirth and continue our fateful connection?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "This is not difficult at all for the heir to the Medical Saint."

Qingxuan was stunned, and tears shimmered in her beautiful eyes. After a while, she said, "It is truly a great fortune of three lifetimes to have met the master."

Shen Qiang laughed, "It is my great fortune of three lifetimes to have met you as well."

Qingxuan giggled through her tears and then said, "But master, although Qingxuan always longs for rebirth, I do not wish to be ordinary. If I cannot find a body with exceptional talent, what should I do?"

Frowning upon hearing this, Shen Qiang pondered for a long time and then said seriously, "Then we'll find a beautiful woman with an exceptional talent in every aspect who is worthy of you and kill her!"
