Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1519 - 1522: Attacked at the Doorstep

In the following days, everything proceeded step by step, and the woman with the purple mask in the Illusion Demolition Group became the store manager of the Beijing branch of Datong River. However, Shen Qiang did not meet her again. Apart from appreciating her ability to conceal herself perfectly, Shen Qiang was indifferent to her presence.This situation was advantageous for Shen Qiang. On the surface, this woman was someone the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group placed by Shen Qiang's side to monitor his every move. However, by knowing her identity, Shen Qiang could manipulate the leader by deciding what information to pass on through her.

The leader of the Illusion Demolition Group probably understood this as well, which brought about a dilemma.

Shen Qiang could provide all sorts of information to the woman, but which was true and which was false? If the leader had to verify them one by one, he wouldn't have time for anything else.

In addition, the greater advantage was that if this woman didn't come, the previous leader of the group would hold a superior position. After all, they had four people, while only the big swordsman clearly followed Shen Qiang.

The petite Gu Hunter expressed her support for Shen Qiang, but this did not imply blind obedience. However, from the current situation, she would back Shen Qiang.

Now, there was this woman caught between the two.

If Shen Qiang and the leader were to face off, the odds would be fifty-fifty.

After all, Shen Qiang had the backing of Ye Guyun, Ke Bizhu, Ji Wei, and Heshenghe.

The leader of the Illusion Demolition Group had support from the Dragon Group, but his resources there were limited.

Moreover, the immediate benefit was crucial.

With the arrival of this woman, the combat power around Shen Qiang considerably surged.

Ji Wei, Ke Bizhu, and Ye Guyun's cultivation was above the Dao Fruit Stage. Even if this woman was unwilling to follow Shen Qiang's command in battle, if the fight took place right next to her?

If Shen Qiang intended to involve her, she couldn't extricate herself.

Additionally, if the cook named Yu Kang indeed joined the branch, given his Mixed Element Realm cultivation, he would likely be unruly. But now, there was no problem.

If he behaved disrespectfully, the store manager above the Dao Fruit Stage would definitely teach him a lesson.

Moreover, after communicating with Lv Shuyao, Shen Qiang instructed Bianyi to have his rogue lawyer team draft an agreement. The gist was, if the woman dedicatedly managed the store, she could receive 10% of the net profit from the Beijing branch's annual profits at year's end.

At first glance, it seemed troublesome.

But in reality, it was a perfect binding agreement.

Since the demons of Heshenghe could earn tens of millions in dividends annually at the Mixed Element Realm, earning 50 million at the Dao Fruit Stage wasn't excessive.

Now, with a base annual salary of 7 million, plus a 10% profit sharing from the Beijing store, they employed a super power at the Dao Fruit Stage.

When tied to her own interests, the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group might not hold any sway over her, especially with profitable incomes at the Beijing store. When she's accustomed to that calm, easy life of earning money...

She'd do everything to ensure Shen Qiang's safety.

So while coming was easy for her, leaving wouldn't be that simple.

Besides, recently, Shen Qiang had been focusing on cultivation. After all, at any moment, the most reliable person was always oneself.

Enhancing his personal strength was a daily task for Shen Qiang.

Since cultivating the Daluo Heaven Transformation Heart Sutra, Shen Qiang felt changes in his body every day.

First, both his Qi Sea and Sea of Consciousness were expanding.

Then, True Yuan increased rapidly. After each daily cultivation, Shen Qiang's True Yuan growth was terrifying. But due to the rapid expansion of his Qi Sea and Sea of Consciousness, the advancement in cultivation didn't seem as apparent as before.

Nonetheless, he had steadily entered the Late Stage of the Yang God Realm, and with a smooth progression, he believed he could soon advance to the Mixed Element Realm.

Furthermore, the Plague Source cannot be ignored.

Since it started calling Taiyin Youying "mom," no one knew if Taiyin Youying helped it somehow, or maybe because Shen Qiang grew stronger, or it entered a rapid growth phase unlike before when it took long to sprout a leaf.

Now, it could grow new leaves each week, nine at a time, with a layer of trunk capable of accommodating microorganisms.

In this way, without immediately establishing a microbial database, the use of leaf spores was no longer an issue.

Additionally, Shen Qiang's body cultivation should be mentioned.

Currently, the standard weight load of the Heavenly Palace Jade Lock on Shen Qiang's body had reached 18,000 kilos, or 18 tons.

This training weight was terrifying.

In normal circumstances, even body cultivation practitioners rarely achieved this.

The instantaneous maximum weight, reaching 31,000 kilos, couldn't be sustained, but now, if Shen Qiang went all out, hitting a Mixed Element Realm cultivator would truly result in an explosive punch.

As for skill?

It's unnecessary. Before absolute power, any skill becomes powerless.

This way, Shen Qiang's cultivation steadily advanced, with everything going smoothly at the academy, and the restaurant preparations were methodical. Shen Qiang's daily tasks were attending school, chatting with Qin Yurou, and enjoying meals with Ye Guyun and Ke Bizhu.

This secure lifestyle became relaxing and delightful.

Yet, just as Shen Qiang thought everything would be peaceful, waiting for the Elixir Pills conference to come easily...

That night, after school, Shen Qiang accepted Qin Yurou's invitation to have Korean cuisine.

The taste was average, the kimchi not as good as Datong River's.

But being close to the academy, with the school beauty Qin Yurou and a perky young lady, the entire dining experience was pleasant.

After the meal, Qin Yurou paid the bill, declined Shen Qiang's offer to escort her, and left with the perky young lady.

Shen Qiang walked home alone.

Since the accommodation was close, Shen Qiang chose to walk.

Reaching the intersection outside the residential area, Shen Qiang saw a group of people surrounding something and heard someone shout from the crowd, "Doctor, is there a doctor? Quick, save them!"

Without hesitation, Shen Qiang quickly squeezed through the crowd, soon seeing a man and a woman administering CPR to a man lying on the ground.

The woman's eyes lit up, saying, "Are you a doctor? Quickly, save him."

Without much thought, Shen Qiang nodded and instinctively moved closer. As he crouched down to examine the patient, the two originally giving CPR suddenly grabbed Shen Qiang from both sides, their powerful True Yuan pinning him tightly.

The man, seemingly comatose on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce blade light bursting from his hand, aiming straight for Shen Qiang's throat.
