In the leaves of the Plague Source, countless Ganoderma Fungus Filaments were crazily evolving, after separating the Ganoderma polysaccharides, they rapidly advanced towards a higher level.
"If this evolution continues, we can definitely cultivate the Blood Ganoderma!" Shen Qiang was convinced by this scenario.
Almost at that moment, a somewhat hoarse voice of an elderly man echoed nearby.
"Boss, do you have any Blood Ganoderma? Not the greenhouse-grown dyed type, I want the wild one."
Was he also looking for Blood Ganoderma?
This inquiry made Shen Qiang turn his head and immediately he was astonished to see that the same elder, also seeking Blood Ganoderma, was the one who had competed with Shen Qiang for the Immortal Sealed Shennong Cauldron at the Wan Xin He Sheng auction house.
The bosses playing poker laughed as dismissively as before.
"I don't know what's going on today, everyone's looking for Blood Ganoderma. You don't want the greenhouse-grown, but do you not know how rare wild Lingzhi is? And wild Blood Ganoderma at that, not to mention it's not available, even if it were, could you afford it?"
Hearing the poker-playing boss's words, the elder turned his head and saw Shen Qiang.
The girl following him, who looked about sixteen or seventeen, immediately rolled her eyes at Shen Qiang.
After hesitating slightly, the elder then stepped towards Shen Qiang and said, "Young Daoist friend, I didn't expect we'd meet again. Just now I heard them say, you are also looking for Blood Ganoderma?"
Shen Qiang hesitated for a moment.
The Plague Source was definitely capable of evolving into Blood Ganoderma, but Shen Qiang wasn't sure how much time it would need. Considering the young flower girl, who could hold on for no more than forty-eight hours, therefore Shen Qiang said,
"Yes, I am also looking for Blood Ganoderma, elder sir. If you have some, could you possibly spare some for me? We can discuss the price."
Hearing this, the elder's expression darkened as he sighed, "I thought you had some. I didn't expect that, like me, you too had nothing in hand."
"Ah%... For this Blood Ganoderma, I have been to all the major herbal markets in the country, and in the past few days, I have been to some medical families around the Provincial City, but I still haven't found the Blood Ganoderma."
Shen Qiang was slightly stunned, "You've been all over the country?"
The elder sighed, "Yes, this is my last stop. It seems that it's predestined that my disciple will not obtain such a treasure."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang asked in surprise, "What's wrong with your disciple?"
The elder sighed helplessly, "My disciple, a year ago during a fight, had his spine shattered and is now bedridden and paralyzed. If he could get Blood Ganoderma, there might still be a chance for him to stand again."
Looking at Shen Qiang, the elder said, "Seeing that you, a young Daoist friend, have an interest in the Shennong Cauldron and are looking for Blood Ganoderma, could it be that you are from a medical family?"
Shen Qiang, surprised, was momentarily speechless, then said, "Elder sir, you think too much, that's just a personal hobby of mine."
The elder smiled, spoke in a grave tone, "It's normal not to talk about family matters outside. I can understand, but here I have a special request. If you are fortunate enough to come across Blood Ganoderma, please do call me. Money is no issue."
Previously, this elder had offered twenty-five million for Shen Qiang's Furnace Tripod, so his words were not mere boasting.
Seeing that Shen Qiang seemed somewhat indifferent, and recalling how Shen Qiang had spent thirty million to purchase the Shennong Cauldron, the elder added, "If money is not of concern to you, I also have some rare herbs and a few assorted trinkets for exchange."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang's interest was piqued.
Knowing that Lingzhi is a porous mushroom variety of the Ganoderma species, there was no problem in cultivating it from the Plague Source.
Even when the Plague Source grew taller and produced more leaves, potentially all the fungi could be cultivated by Shen Qiang; however, at present, besides fungus, bacteria, and microbes, there were many other types of herbs that couldn't be cultivated.
Hence, Shen Qiang immediately said, "Alright, if I get hold of Blood Ganoderma, I will definitely notify you."
The elderly man nodded and said, "My phone is on twenty-four hours a day. No matter when or where, as soon as I receive a call, I will rush over in the shortest time."
"However, treasures like the Blood Ganoderma are not something you can just find by looking. Not only do we want it, but those medical families and the wealthy also desire it."
"Thirteen years ago, in Maoshan, there was a Blood Ganoderma. Unfortunately, I was one step too late, and a foreigner bought it for two thousand yuan per gram."
"Since then, although there have been rumors of Blood Ganoderma everywhere, they have mostly been fake."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang's eyes lit up.
Two thousand yuan per gram? And that was the price thirteen years ago?
Gold was only three hundred yuan per gram!
If it was seven times the price of gold thirteen years ago, what about now?
Seeing the elder's look of immense regret, Shen Qiang thought that if he pulled out a piece of Blood Ganoderma now, the old man would probably buy it for twenty thousand yuan per gram.
With that being the case, wouldn't cultivating successful Blood Ganoderma mean striking it rich?
After all, Ganoderma is very easy to cultivate.
Otherwise, the Ganoderma cultivated in greenhouses wouldn't be so plentiful or so cheap, selling for just over thirty yuan per jin.
Shen Qiang was thinking to himself.
At that moment, the young girl following the elder glared at Shen Qiang and said, "Grandfather, let's go."
The elder nodded and said to Shen Qiang, "Well then, goodbye. If you hear any news about the Blood Ganoderma, please tell me at once. I would be extremely grateful."
With those words, the elder left with the young girl.
Shen Qiang frowned slightly.
He was somewhat puzzled as to why the young girl beside the elder seemed so uncomfortable looking at him.
Was it just because Shen Qiang had bid on the Furnace Tripod sealed with Immortal Technique?
Shen Qiang shook his head as he walked, his thoughts once again turning to the leaves of the Plague Source. Suddenly, Shen Qiang stopped in his tracks; among the Reishi Fungus Filaments that had undergone six evolutions within the leaves of the Plague Source, one strand had astonishingly turned red!
Blood Ganoderma!
An ecstatic Shen Qiang dashed and jumped into a taxi, heading straight to the seed market to buy sterile cultivation sticks wrapped in plastic. He then took a cab back to his rental house.
Carefully placing the cultivation sticks on the balcony of his rental house, Shen Qiang's thoughts again observed the Plague Source, and he made a startling discovery.
The blood-like Reishi Fungus Filaments had already produced three samples; the highest quality filament looked almost like blood.
"Which version should I plant?"
Shen Qiang hesitated slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally decided to plant a portion of each version of the Blood Ganoderma. This way, once they grew, he could decide which version to use based on the quality of the final product.
With a sigh...
Driven by his thoughts, the three versions of Blood Ganoderma Fungus immediately attached themselves to the three different cultivation sticks.
