On the way back, sitting in Qian Shanxue's car, Shen Qiang briefly checked the Teaching Jade Scroll.
He discovered that it contained a very domineering combat-oriented Cultivation Technique.
The na was also very imposing, called "Dominate the World".
The technique was indeed powerful, but regrettably, even if it was excellent, it was rely a Cultivation Technique, far inferior to the Immortal Technique "Longevity Technique" that Shen Qiang was currently cultivating.
Therefore, Shen Qiang absolutely would not practice this technique.
But this item was very valuable.
An Earth Rank Technique.
In Wanxin Hesheng, it was worth almost 1.5 billion, about the sa price as the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra.
So even if Shen Qiang didn't want to practice it, he could still exchange it for money.
Of course, in the short term, selling Gathering Qi Powder, Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointnt, and Jade Cream would be more convenient for making money. Therefore, he planned to hold onto this technique for now, as it might be useful at so point in the future.
Besides that.
The thing that surprised Shen Qiang the most during the return trip was Qian Shanxue.
Especially when she took out the two SUVs from her Storage Ring, Shen Qiang's first thought was that her Storage Ring must be of top quality.
Because, at least up to this point, Shen Qiang had noticed other people's Storage Rings, which generally ranged from two to five cubic ters in size.
If we assu it's five cubic ters, after accommodating such a big object, it would be very difficult for Qian Shanxue's Storage Ring to hold any more items.
But in reality, aside from the car.
Qian Shanxue put all the bodies present, along with so miscellaneous items, into her Storage Ring.
Beyond that, there were many things found in the countryside villa of that burly man.
If her Storage Ring wasn't good or large enough, it clearly wouldn't be sufficient.
Moreover, Qian Shanxue also revealed another piece of information to Shen Qiang; that is, during missions for the Dragon Group, tasks below a three-star level can be made public.
For instance, if you kill a certain fugitive and there's a bounty for that person on the Bounty Hunters platform, it can be claid publicly and the bounty received.
But tasks of a four-star level and above cannot be made public.
For example, the burly man that Qian Shanxue killed had a bounty of nearly twenty million on the platform for Bounty Hunters.
Plus the other underlings, if it were made public, the bounty claid would at least exceed twenty million.
Unfortunately, this was an ergency task.
Before the Task Difficulty was determined, it could not be made public.
According to Qian Shanxue's estimation, this task's difficulty would likely be rated above three stars, which ans even if there was a bounty, it couldn't be claid.
This made Shen Qiang slightly disappointed.
Passing by the place where they had left the sports car earlier, Shen Qiang, without a second thought, waved his hand and stored the car in his Storage Ring, which surprised Qian Shanxue, prompting her to ask without thinking, "Your Storage Ring seems quite big."
Shen Qiang smiled without saying a word.
This was nothing.
Once Shen Qiang's Cultivation was sufficient, he could use this Storage Ring as the base material to craft an even more powerful Storage Ring.
Not to ntion storing one car; storing dozens wouldn't even be an issue.
Looking at the scenery swiftly passing by the car window.
Sitting in the car, Shen Qiang wasn't interested in chatting with Qian Shanxue. This was because, at the sa ti that Shen Qiang, Ali, and Qian Shanxue successfully completed their mission, there was another colleague whom Shen Qiang had never t that had died in action.
Moreover, what was more important was that this was his first ti cooperating with Qian Shanxue as a newcor. Including the previous one, within about a month, two colleagues had been sacrificed by Qian Shanxue's side.
This made Shen Qiang raise his vigilance.
Be it the mission or the responsibility, the most important thing in life isn't about how high you can fly but about living well and safe.
Therefore, sitting in the car, Shen Qiang's mind was fully occupied with reviewing the previous fight, summarizing experiences gained during the combat process.
Shen Qiang himself had not a high level of Cultivation.
But now, Shen Qiang's real combat power had beco very strong.
Avian flu with pneumonia, coupled with the Golden Cicada, was enough to crush any opponent below the Nascent Soul Stage.
But in the previous fight.
When the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator was using techniques,
had Shen Qiang not made a split-second decision and summoned the copy of the golden cicada again, that previous blow would have probably killed Shen Qiang.
The logic was simple.
Coughing, in fact, can be temporarily stopped by focusing one's consciousness.
For an extended period, it's impossible.
But for a short amount of ti, there's definitely no problem.
It's like when normal people catch a cold, fever, cough, and runny nose.
These symptoms aren't severe during the day when one is working and playing normally; sotis they are hardly noticeable due to concentration, but once one calms down, these symptoms beco pronounced and painful.
The infection caused by the Plague Source has a similar issue.
When the opponent realizes that coughing could lead to the failure of casting a spell and consciously tries to avoid it, a brief mont of silence is entirely achievable.
After all, for a cultivator, the ti it takes to cast a spell varies depending on the difficulty and strength of the spell, as well as the caster's talent.
The quick ones may be instantaneous.
The slower could take point-sothing seconds, one second, two seconds, or even several minutes.
If Shen Qiang hadn't made a split-second decision at that mont, allowing the golden cicada to invade, the cultivator being fully engaged in resisting the cicada and overlooking the coughing, then Shen Qiang would have beco a dead body by now.
And all of this, the critical issue wasn't that the virus and the Plague Source weren't potent enough.
It was because Shen Qiang was using it incorrectly.
Before actual combat, Shen Qiang overlooked the uncertainty of coughing.
As it stood, coughing was random, sporadic, and not under Shen Qiang's control.
When facing those below the Nascent Soul Stage, there wasn't an issue.
If there wasn't any coughing, there was still the golden cicada.
But for cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage, not only do they possess formidable cultivation, but their ntal resilience far exceeds ordinary people's.
If during the casting of techniques, the spellcasting isn't interrupted due to coughing, then the one who would surely die is the lower-level Shen Qiang.
But in reality, whether it's a cough, flu, or pneumonia, it's entirely controllable.
It was just that Shen Qiang hadn't attempted to do so before, so after returning, he would study how to completely control the virus; once successful,
even if Shen Qiang's cultivation remained low, he would still have a fighting chance against powerful opponents unable to cast spells.
This was a matter of life and death, of the utmost importance.
There could be no negligence whatsoever.
Beyond that, there were many more problems to solve.
The first was transportation. For short distances, a car might indeed be less useful than Shen Qiang's two legs, but for long distances, if there's a task to be done, relying on running would be too miserable.
This issue must be addressed.
Apart from transportation and the correct way to use the virus,
another key point was the collection of various magical treasures and learning so combat skills.
Unlike dical Saint,
he didn't have to go on missions and was surrounded by powerful beings, so in his view, any battle skills were just useless trash.
But Shen Qiang's situation was different.
Expecting Ali and Qian Shanxue to protect Shen Qiang was practically no different from seeking death.
So if possible, after returning, it would be best to put so effort into this area. Waiting until soone gets beaten up before struggling is not as good as being well-prepared in advance to face all kinds of risks.
Back in the city.
It was the height of the city's nightlife when Qian Shanxue drove Shen Qiang back to Jinyu Huacheng and then left with the sleeping Ali.
Back ho, Shen Qiang realized that Su Xiaonuan hadn't returned yet.
After a simple shower,
Shen Qiang, back in the bedroom, turned his thoughts and entered his Sea of Consciousness, smiling at Qingxuan, who was kneeling on one knee before him, "Qingxuan, since you are a warrior-based True Immortal Realm powerhouse, I believe you must be incredibly strong in combat. Now, I want to learn so battle skills, can you teach ?"
