The next morning.

When Shen Qiang awoke from meditation, the time had already reached 6:30 AM.

The True Qi within his body not only had recovered but also felt significantly more refined, vaguely sensing an impending breakthrough.

Thinking of last night's slaughter.

Shen Qiang quickly got up, hurriedly freshened up, and went downstairs.

As a surgeon.

Shen Qiang was not afraid of blood, nor of bodies, but that did not mean he could act recklessly.

Even if those scumbags deserved death, if the authorities were to get involved, then Shen Qiang naturally would not be able to escape the law.

Downstairs.

By that time, people were already coming and going.

With some trepidation, Shen Qiang walked towards the place where the fight had occurred last night.

At a glance, he saw several private car owners cursing loudly.

"Who is so immoral, blocking the road with a broken car? Call the tow truck, call the tow truck."

Shen Qiang was astonished.

Almost at the same time, Shen Qiang faintly smelled a strange scent.

He then went to the roadside, where there were still some subtle traces. Crouching down, Shen Qiang sniffed the familiar smell.

A term suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"Corpse Erosion Powder!"

Almost at the moment Shen Qiang realized this,

a police car drove up.

A man around thirty years old said to the officers, "Last night, my son made a fuss about eating skewers, so my wife went out to buy them on her bicycle. This is her bicycle, but I don't know where she has gone; her phone is unreachable, and she can't be found."

The officer frowned, "You and your wife didn't have a quarrel?"

The man replied, "Absolutely not."

The officer said, "Then keep looking. If there's still no news after forty-eight hours, come to the station to file a report."

After saying that, the officers left.

Then Shen Qiang saw a five- or six-year-old boy crying as he walked out of the alley, bawling, "Mommy, I want my mommy."

Silent Shen Qiang stood up and turned to walk towards the morning market in the village within the city.

After hastily eating breakfast.

Because it was already late,

Shen Qiang did not go to the antique market as usual.

He did not go to the hospital either.

Instead, he strolled around, purchasing some herbs from several drugstores.

The sole purpose of these herbs was to concoct Corpse Erosion Powder.

It was very dark and very frightening.

But at that moment, Shen Qiang felt eerily calm.

If it weren't for the Medical Saint Inheritance, if he hadn't become a cultivator, Shen Qiang might have died last night.

Just like that woman who was merely passing by on her bicycle, powerless against the brutal thugs.

But now, it was different, Shen Qiang was a cultivator.

He had the power to fight against all of this!

If someone dared to commit evil acts in front of Shen Qiang again, maybe it wouldn't be like before, when he could only talk.

Maybe…

Shen Qiang would make them disappear forever!

Over the next two days.

Shen Qiang still did not go to the antique market.

During these two days, Shen Qiang distinctly felt that the True Qi in his body became somewhat unstable.

According to the records of the Medical Saint Inheritance, this situation indicated that Shen Qiang was about to enter the Spiritual Movement Stage.

At that time, he would need a large amount of True Qi for support.

Therefore, making money through Treasure appraisal using the Observation Skill would have to be put on hold for the moment.

After all, as long as one has cultivation, making money is not difficult.

During these two days, the head of the oncology department at Bikang Hospital became exceptionally low-key and honest, and Zhang Yujian, along with his four male interns, seemed rather listless too.

There were no particular cases in oncology either.

However, because the supplementary Medical Doctor Qualification Exam was approaching on the coming Monday,

Xin Xiaoting's studies became the focus.

In fact, her academic performance was usually quite good.

As long as there were no errors in the test, she should be able to pass.

But for fear of any surprises,

she was also cramming in these two days.

And as the only doctor in the province who had passed the last exam, guiding her through the revision naturally became something Shen Qiang must do.

During this process, the relationship between the two became increasingly intimate.

Hand-holding, hugging, kissing.

The two of them could be said to be inseparable.

Only because of certain circumstances, they did not take the final step.

In the blink of an eye, Thursday evening arrived.

The time had reached half-past nine at night.

Shen Qiang and Xin Xiaoting were intimately tucked away in a private room of a barbecue restaurant.

Xin Xiaoting's cheeks flushed red as she coyly fed a piece of grilled meat to Shen Qiang.

Shen Qiang cooperated well, swallowing the meat directly.

Then he bit onto his chopsticks and didn't let go.

Xin Xiaoting giggled, "What are you doing? If you want to eat chopsticks, I can ask the waiter to bring you a few more pairs."

Shen Qiang laughed, "I only want the ones you've used."

Xin Xiaoting's face instantly flushed red with shyness, and she retorted, "You are so cheesy."

Shen Qiang laughed.

Just then, Shen Qiang's phone rang.

Shen Qiang picked up the phone with slight surprise, finding that the call was from Xu Nan, the beautiful manager of Wanxin Hesheng.

He answered the call.

Upon hearing that the caller was a young female, Xin Xiaoting's eyes immediately grew vigilant.

Looking at her wary little eyes, a helpless Shen Qiang very generously pressed the loudspeaker button.

"Mr. Shen, the auction will start promptly at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. We hope you can attend on time."

Shen Qiang smiled, "No problem, I'll be there on time."

After hanging up,

Shen Qiang looked up to see Xin Xiaoting's eyes filled with curiosity.

"Are you going to an auction tomorrow?"

Shen Qiang nodded, "I bought some items at the old goods market before, and the auction house said they were valuable. They suggested I consign them there for auction."

"Really?" Xin Xiaoting smiled, "You didn't sell off your family heirlooms, did you?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "If my family had any heirlooms, my dad would have sold them long ago; they wouldn't have waited for my turn."

Xin Xiaoting pursed her lips in laughter and served Shen Qiang some grilled meat, then said, "Speaking of which, I've been in the Provincial City for five years and have never attended an auction. I've been really tired from reviewing these past few days. How about I join you tomorrow?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "No problem, but let me clarify; I actually don't know much about antiques. Tomorrow, please don't turn into Miss Thousand Questions. If I can't answer, it might be embarrassing for me."

Xin Xiaoting chuckled softly, casting a charming glance at Shen Qiang and said, "I'm just going to look around. If it weren't for you going, I wouldn't bother with any auction."

Shen Qiang smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Xin Xiaoting's delicate and slender jade hand, and said softly, "Since we are going to the auction together tomorrow, can we perhaps spend the evening together doing something else…"

Xin Xiaoting's face blushed suddenly, and she said nervously, "My aunt is at home tonight, I must go back."
