Colonel Yang snorted coldly as he left Shen's Holding and sat still. Qian Shanxue glanced brightly at Xiu Ju and Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing before speaking, "Colonel Yang is the security head of the Dragon Group in Provincial City. If anyone were least willing to see a new power rise in the Provincial City, it would definitely be him."

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "Because he has a good relationship with Long Yan Sword Sect."

Qian Shanxue shook her head, "It's not what you think, but rather because, from ancient times to the present, every rise of new powers has been accompanied by bloodshed and violence."

Shen Qiang was silent for a moment and then said, "Don't persuade me to leave Provincial City, or I'll fall out with you."

Qian Shanxue calmly raised an eyebrow, "Of course, I wouldn't advise you to leave Provincial City. I'm staying here just to tell you that although your growth has been incredibly fast, and your cultivation has skyrocketed like a rocket, in truth, your time in cultivation has been far too short."

"You have great talent, work hard, and now I can also confirm that the cultivation technique you practice is a top-notch one among thousands, otherwise you could not have achieved such astonishing advancement."

"But you must understand one thing."

"The essence of a true cultivation powerhouse lies in a strong physical body, a vast Qi sea, and keen divine sense. Only after possessing these three basic abilities can you truly be considered a cultivator with the potential to become a powerhouse."

"So personally, I suggest that right now, you should not directly confront the Long Yan Sword Sect, because you haven't reached the Nascent Soul Stage, haven't opened your Sea of Consciousness or condensed your Nascent Soul, nor have you mastered the profound uses of divine sense. Currently, you are unbeatable in your own realm, but once you encounter real powerhouses, you wouldn't even have a chance to escape."

Shen Qiang frowned, "You still want to persuade me to move away from Provincial City."

Qian Shanxue shook her head, "I'm just hoping you can grow and become a true powerhouse, not just a memory in my life."

After a moment of silence, Shen Qiang suddenly laughed, "You're afraid I'll die, which doesn't sound like you at all."

Qian Shanxue was silent for a moment before saying, "That's because I know that the Long Yan Sword Sect has a presence at the peak of the Mixed Element Realm, who is only slightly less powerful than Zhang Shuheng whom you met in Shanghai. Once he crosses that threshold, even I wouldn't be able to save you from his hands."

Hearing Qian Shanxue's words, Xiu Ju's expression also became grave. She said to Shen Qiang, "A step into Dao Fruit represents the difference between humans and gods. Even if he doesn't surpass that realm, the existence at the peak of the Mixed Element Realm is still completely enough to obliterate you. Even if you have the strongest poisons, you wouldn't have a chance to use them."

"Unless I can break through to the second level of the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra and enter the third level, otherwise, I also don't have the confidence to stop such a powerhouse," Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing said with a slightly tense expression.

Seeing the worried expressions on all three of them.

Shen Qiang's brows were tightly furrowed.

In fact, Shen Qiang was not a child, and he certainly understood how crucial it was to avoid direct confrontation until he had accumulated enough power.

But now, Shen Qiang had no other options.

If it were just Shen Qiang alone, he could go anywhere, even return to his hometown in the county.

But now that's not possible.

Shen Qiang could leave, but could Xiduobao leave?

Could the Datong River restaurant leave?

Could the Dinghao Hotel be moved?

Could the producing Tianyou Medicine leave?

Could the contracted Streptococcus Liquid leave?

If Shen Qiang left, all these would inevitably fall into the hands of Long Yan Sword Sect.

An already powerful Long Yan Sword Sect, if it got hold of these, would be an even greater threat, and trying to reclaim them later would be as hard as reaching the heavens.

Not only that.

Now, Shen Qiang was like a little kid just starting school on the playground, and the Long Yan Sword Sect was like the older, taller, stronger student who had just slapped him.

If Shen Qiang didn't resist now.

But simply lowered his head and walked away.

With such a beginning, no matter where Shen Qiang went, he would be bullied.

So the only thing Shen Qiang could do now was to resist, to defeat them.

"What if I could have a Nascent Soul within a week?"

Shen Qiang's voice made everyone present startled.

"Impossible!" Qian Shanxue, strikingly beautiful, seriously said, "No one can advance from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage in a mere three months, not even the top geniuses of the Cultivation World. Even the Unrivaled Sword Saint took a whole ten months to advance from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage."

Xiu Ju nodded and said, "Exactly, the Unrivaled Sword Saint created a miracle by taking only ten months to reach the Nascent Soul Stage from the Golden Core Stage. Even such an unparalleled genius needed so long, so Shen Qiang, if you could complete the Golden Core Stage's cultivation within a year and start advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, you would have already created a miracle."

"I took nearly two years to advance from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage initially," Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing said with a smile, looking gently at Shen Qiang, "So in this matter, you cannot rush. Let alone in a mere seven days, even seventy days would hardly see progress."

Hearing the words of the three of them, Shen Qiang couldn't help but take a deep breath, seriously contemplating his current predicament.

The situation was now clear, the Long Yan Sword Sect, realizing the threat, was no longer planning to give Shen's time to grow.

And Shen Qiang?

Shen Qiang's cultivation was indeed not high, but he possessed an Exotic Treasure from the Immortal Realm known as the Plague Source.

Furthermore, he now controlled one of the strongest toxins, botulinum toxin.

As long as he wasn't killed instantly and could hold on for three minutes, even a Mixed Element Realm powerhouse would have no chance of escaping from Shen Qiang's vicinity.

Because botulinum toxin disrupts the nerves, and this isn't something that can be countered just through willpower.

Not only that, but Shen Qiang's physical strength was now many times greater than that of an ordinary Golden Core Stage Cultivation practitioner, and he was also using Fury to comprehensively enhance his strength and physical toughness.

In a real battle, even a Yin God Realm master two stages higher than Shen Qiang could not avoid his terrifying speed.

In such a situation, once Shen Qiang entered the Nascent Soul Stage and acquired Divine Sense, combined with his super physical strength and the enhancement from Fury, he could achieve far more than just refining Jiazi Pills, Half Armor Pills, and Thousand Return Pills.

That meant Shen Qiang would no longer fear any experts from the Yin God Realm or Yang God Realm.

Even for a Mixed Element Realm powerhouse wanting to kill Shen Qiang, it definitely wouldn't be an easy task.

Moreover, based on past experiences, once Shen Qiang's cultivation broke through, the range of the Plague Source would expand accordingly.

This meant a greater safe distance and more unpredictable use of pathogens.

Thinking this far, Shen Qiang's eyes became incredibly determined.

"Whether I can create a miracle, I do not care. Entering the Nascent Soul Stage within seven days might sound hard, but if I don't try, how will I know if it's impossible?"
