Just as the people of Long Yan Sword Sect began to carry out their plan against Shen Qiang with urgency,

downstairs in the cultivation garden, Shen Qiang was excitedly observing the unique fragrance emitting from the Tri-Colored Earth Spirit Embryo and the Five-Colored Earth Spirit Embryo. Their growth period was very short and rapid, typically, they could complete their growth in 5 to 10 days.

But maturation usually took four to five months.

Yet now, only three months had passed.

Those Tri-Colored Earth Spirit Embryos had nearly matured. According to the records of the Medical Saint Inheritance, in at most three days, the first batch of planted Tri-Colored Earth Spirit Embryos would mature, and in half a month, the first batch of planted Five-Colored Earth Spirit Embryos would also mature.

This meant that Shen Qiang, who had already entered the Nascent Soul Stage, could soon begin refining the Jiazi Pills that extend life by sixty years for ordinary people, and the Half Armor Pills that prolong the lives of cultivators by thirty years.

After a joyful inspection,

Shen Qiang, who was in the cultivation garden, had a thought.

His belief instantly entered his Sea of Consciousness.

Unlike the previous chaos in his Sea of Consciousness, Shen Qiang's Sea of Consciousness was now bright and sunny. He immediately saw the stunning Qingxuan and the Nascent Soul meditating there. However, at this moment, what concerned Shen Qiang more wasn't them, but his `Tree Son`, Plague Source.

Walking up affectionately to the Plague Source, which called him `Dad`, Shen Qiang was surprised to find that the Plague Source, which hadn't grown for some time, had gotten bigger simultaneously as his cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

The three branches that harbored fungi, pathogens, and bacteria had climbed up a stage, with each branch sprouting three new leaves.

This meant that Shen Qiang could again add new strains of microbes to it.

This delighted Shen Qiang.

But that was not urgent. What really concerned Shen Qiang was whether, after entering the Nascent Soul Stage, the surveillance range of Plague Source was indeed, as he had anticipated, increased by another twenty meters due to his growth in cultivation.

If that was truly the case, this would mean that Shen Qiang, now in the Nascent Soul Stage, would have a surveillance range from Plague Source of about eighty meters.

So, after simply communicating with Qingxuan and Plague Source, Shen Qiang immediately began to activate Plague Source.

It took only a moment.

Shen Qiang was thrilled.

Because he could clearly feel that the range covered by the Plague Source was not eighty meters, but rather, centered around Shen Qiang, it formed a 360-degrees, spherical zone with no blind spots, with a radius of one hundred meters and a diameter of two hundred meters.

Especially since at that moment, Shen Qiang was upstairs.

So he could clearly feel that this range of pathogens was not merely planar, but three-dimensional, covering everything above and below him within a hundred meters.

Within this range,

Shen Qiang could freely control the microbes to infect anyone.

Whereas before entering the Nascent Soul Stage, the farthest distance Shen Qiang could control was only within a diameter of sixty meters.

This increase in control range was a tremendous surge!

Moreover, with the nine new leaves on Plague Source, once useful strains of microbes were stored in them, Shen Qiang's power would practically have undergone a leap-like qualitative transformation.

After joyfully testing the Plague Source, Shen Qiang returned upstairs, pondering the selection of new microbial strains.

Yet in this world, the total number of microbial taxa is estimated to be between 500,000 and 6,000,000, with currently over 3,500 recorded prokaryotes, more than 4,000 viruses, and over 90,000 types of fungi, not to mention the enormous number of protozoa and algae.

Clearly, each of these microbial species has a dual nature; they can heal and save lives on one hand, and on the other, they can also become deadly weapons. In the short term, as the Plague Source is still in its seedling stage, it is impossible to collect them all, so the choice of strains must be made cautiously.

The best option, without a doubt, was a strain of fungus that was highly versatile and had significant effects.

Returning upstairs, the terrace garden in deep autumn was already verdant.

Sitting in the terrace garden, Xiu Ju, charmingly watching as Shen Qiang walked over and sat beside her, playfully fiddled with her smartphone and said, "Shen Qiang, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing told me that she seems about to breakthrough the second level of the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra. She said, once she breaks through this second level, she will return the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra to you for your practice, and mentioned it is the best cultivation technique in the world, bar none."

With eyes curved in amusement, Xiu Ju giggled, "It's really too funny. This is the first time I've heard of a cultivator practicing a Demon Cultivation Secret Manual, I'm dying of laughter. How could she think you would be able to cultivate it?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang's heart stirred.

In fact, even before entering the Nascent Soul Stage, Shen Qiang has seriously considered whether he could practice the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra.

In a sense,

Shen Qiang had used the Fetal Dragon Essence Foundation Establishment, and there was even a Dragon Infant sitting cross-legged in his Sea of Consciousness.

When activating the Fury state,

Shen Qiang emitted the breath of a dragon.

So in Xiu Ju's eyes, Shen Qiang was a cultivator.

But in the eyes of Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing and several great demons from the Fortunate Gate, Shen Qiang was simply one of their own kind,

A mere Dragon Demon.

Therefore, it was only natural for a Dragon Demon to practice the Supreme Scripture of Demon cultivation, the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra.

So Shen Qiang had always wanted to try it.

It was just that the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra was in the hands of Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing while she was cultivating and attempting to break through, so Shen Qiang had not asked for the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra back yet.

So even though Xiu Ju thought it was a ludicrous idea, Shen Qiang still believed that whenever the chance arose, he should try it regardless of the outcome; after all, there was nothing to lose by trying. If he managed to practice it, wouldn't that be amazing?

After all, even though the Longevity Technique from the Medical Saint Inheritance was indeed excellent,

It was more focused on how to nourish life and cultivate Qi.

Fighting someone with the Longevity Technique?

It was like a housewife confronting bandits with a cooking spoon, the outcome was predictable.

In contrast, the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, based on the current situations of Golden Cicada, Plague Source, and Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing's cultivations, suggests that successful cultivation leads to an evolution to a higher level of life.

For example, Chu Qing, turned from three-tailed to five-tailed, Golden Cicada regained human form, and Plague Source progressed from one leaf to three.

What about Shen Qiang?

With the Dragon Breath Sea, Dragon Embryo Nascent Soul, after practicing the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, could he possibly transform into a Divine Dragon? Become a Dragon God or a Dragon Demon? Or possess the super strength of a Divine Dragon, or even its prolonged lifespan?

As he was contemplating, Shen Qiang's phone rang and he was surprised to find that it was Gao Hui calling.

This was odd.

Usually, Gao Hui wouldn't bother Shen Qiang with phone calls unless absolutely necessary.

So Shen Qiang immediately answered, and right as he did, he heard Gao Hui sobbing on the other end.

"Shen Qiang, come quickly, the baby has been kidnapped!"
