After taking the Qi Gathering Powder and engaging in Dual Cultivation with Qingxuan, Shen Qiang's progress in cultivation was accelerating rapidly.
After completing eighty-one major cycles, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon. To his surprise, Shen Qiang discovered that the True Qi surging in his ridians had condensed into thin strands, which were now entwined with each other.
Just like woven ropes.
At this rate of rapid advancent, Shen Qiang could complete his Qi Condensation cultivation in about three days if things went well and at most five days in the slowest scenario.
Next, as long as he stabilized his cultivation realm, Shen Qiang would be able to attempt Foundation Establishnt.
Once Foundation Establishnt was achieved, not only could Shen Qiang use Acupuncture Techniques, but he could also start refining Elixir Pills, which would greatly increase his strength and significantly improve his dical skills.
Excitedly, he got out of bed and went downstairs.
As soon as he reached the ground floor, through the French windows leading to the patio garden, Shen Qiang imdiately saw Qian Shanxue, who was standing at the edge of the patio, gazing at the city.
Not far behind her, on a bench,
were Ali, who appeared to be in good spirits, and a woman with light blue short hair.
Because the woman was facing away, Shen Qiang couldn't determine her age for the mont, but from her build, she was in good shape—jeans and canvas shoes, with snow-white ankles visible from her sockless feet, and she wore an ordinary short-sleeved T-shirt, seemingly a young person.
Shen Qiang strode outside.
Hearing Shen Qiang's footsteps, Ali turned back to look at him without saying a word. Qian Shanxue, as if she hadn't heard the footsteps, chose to ignore them.
But the young woman with her back turned swiftly got up and turned to look at Shen Qiang.
The mont he saw her, Shen Qiang was taken aback.
She had a very pretty young face, a small round face, a pointed chin, large eyes, and her light blue short hair made her look very adorable.
But before Shen Qiang could even greet her,
he was surprised to see her bowing anxiously to him and nervously saying, "Hello, Senior, my na is Ye Xiaolei. 'Small' as in petite, 'bud' as in flower bud. I just graduated, and this is my first ti officially working; if there's anything I don't do well, please advise ."
This thod of self-introduction left Shen Qiang sowhat astonished; he then couldn't help but laugh and say, "No need to be so formal; I am Shen Qiang, also a newcor."
Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Ye Xiaolei's eyes brightened and her expression beca even more respectful as she said, "You must be the man in the mask, the newcor who set a new record for the newcor's reward! Senior Shen, I look forward to your guidance in the days to co."
At that mont, Ali, sitting on the bench, frowned unhappily and said, "If you really want to learn sothing, you should be asking for advice; compared to this guy, I am the true senior here."
Ye Xiaolei seed very nervous.
But before she could speak, Qian Shanxue, who had been standing at the railing looking at the city, turned back and walked toward them, saying calmly, "Now that everyone is here, let's discuss serious matters. Ali specializes in cri scene simulation; she can simulate the criminal's behaviors and determine their thods based on the cri scene situation."
"Shen Qiang's ability is in dical Skill; he is the dical Soldier in our team, mainly responsible for on-site ergency aid and dical-related matters, so most of the ti, he does not need to accompany us on missions."
Turning her gaze to Ye Xiaolei, Qian Shanxue said solemnly, "Ye Xiaolei's role is to scout for the suspect's location, a position that is the most dangerous in the entire combat team."
"And I am responsible for using force to strike at criminals; this is the standard combat team configuration."
Looking at Ye Xiaolei, Qian Shanxue said, "In the month before this, while scouting this position, two mbers of the team were killed. If you don't want to die too early, you'd better learn to be smart. You are not allowed to approach the enemy, nor do you need to use force. All you need to do is find the approximate location of the suspect, and leave the rest to ."
Ye Xiaolei was startled, then responded, "Okay, Colonel. I understand."
Qian Shanxue paused for a mont and then continued, "This is Shen Qiang's house. We will stay here temporarily. To outsiders, Ali's identity is Shen Qiang's cousin, I am her cousin, and you are also Shen Qiang's cousin."
Shen Qiang frowned upon hearing this. "What kind of lousy excuse is this? Cousins piling up?"
Qian Shanxue looked at Shen Qiang indifferently and said, "If your girlfriend doesn't mind, you can also choose one of us three to claim as your girlfriend to outsiders, and the other two as your girlfriend's cousins."
Shen Qiang awkwardly gave a bitter smile.
...
By five-thirty in the afternoon, Su Xiaonuan called. Shen Qiang was a bit perplexed but still chose to tell her that the cousins had co to visit and would stay for a few days, which might be inconvenient.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaonuan was quite excited.
Hearing that Shen Qiang's cousins were visiting, she imdiately declared that she wanted to make a lot of delicious food to entertain them that evening.
Shen Qiang instinctively wanted to decline.
But that would obviously be abnormal, so Shen Qiang told Su Xiaonuan to do as she pleased.
It was just past six in the evening.
Su Xiaonuan had already co back with groceries.
Shen Qiang originally thought Su Xiaonuan, along with Ali, Qian Shanxue, and Ye Xiaolei, would definitely not get along.
But, surprisingly.
In less than ten minutes, the mature, sexy, and good-dancing Su Xiaonuan, not only made Ye Xiaolei very happy, but even Ali joyously called her "Sister Xiaonuan." Besides that, the aloof Qian Shanxue also encountered no problems in interacting with Su Xiaonuan.
This made Shen Qiang sowhat puzzled.
Not only that, what made Shen Qiang helpless was that the four of them gathered together, chattering endlessly about everything from makeup and clothing to male singers and idol dramas, from dostic tourist routes to foreign sightseeing spots—they talked nonstop, like three rapid-fire machine guns, added to one sniper rifle that rarely spoke, but hit the target every ti it did.
Furthermore, the chatty Su Xiaonuan playfully asked Shen Qiang to help prepare the ingredients in the kitchen, saying she would cook later.
This left Shen Qiang a bit helpless.
But seeing Su Xiaonuan seeming very happy.
Shen Qiang, once in the kitchen, naturally started preparing those ingredients.
And on a whim, he used so common dicinal herbs from the storage ring and made what seed to him to be ordinary dicinal als. After all, in the dical Saint Inheritance, food therapy accounts for a significant part, and he was quite skilled at it.
It was just that ever since Lv Shuyao went abroad, Shen Qiang rarely cooked anymore.
