Everyone was astonished to the extreme.

Of course, what astonished them was not the physical strength of Miyazaki Shino, but the life-saving method used by Wang Xiaoqiang. Everyone had clearly seen that Miyazaki Shino was severely injured and on the brink of death, yet all Wang Xiaoqiang did was place his hand on his chest, and then he was bouncing around alive and well.

This... this was clearly an Immortal in the world.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang save Miyazaki Shino, Miyazaki Yuki looked at Wang Xiaoqiang with full gratitude, which changed her impression of him. Chiba Keiko's impression of Wang Xiaoqiang also improved by quite a bit.

The three Japanese men didn't go to help Miyazaki Shino but walked up to Wang Xiaoqiang in unison, bowed deeply, and said, "We are sorry! We were offensive just now."

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't show them any kindness and directly said to them, "I hope you won't make trouble on the boat, or else I'll throw you into the sea to feed the sharks..."

The three men immediately lowered their heads even further and said in unison... "We won't dare anymore!"

Wang Xiaoqiang no longer paid attention to them and walked towards Jenny's family.

Jenny's family had clearly observed everything from the scuffle with the four Japanese men to Wang Xiaoqiang saving a life. Firstly, it was clear to them that Wang Xiaoqiang's martial arts had reached an extraordinary level. Jenny's parents had learned Chinese martial arts in China, but they had never seen such formidable skills as Wang Xiaoqiang's. Furthermore, Wang Xiaoqiang's identity had directly subdued the group of Japanese. Although Wang Xiaoqiang had hit them, it was the Japanese group that ended up apologizing.

Last of all, Wang Xiaoqiang made a move to save the severely injured Japanese man, and his sophisticated medical techniques were yet another unexpected revelation to Jenny's family.

As they saw Wang Xiaoqiang walking towards them, Jenny's family regarded him as a distinguished person, looking at him with veneration, until Wang Xiaoqiang approached them when they finally snapped back to reality.

First, they expressed their gratitude for Wang Xiaoqiang's rescue. Jenny's father was named James, and her mother was named Angelina. Noticing that their daughter knew Wang Xiaoqiang, they then invited him into their room.

Coming to Jenny's cabin for the second time, Wang Xiaoqiang seemed much more at ease. After all, the first time it was under suspicion of an affair, but this time it was honorable, to accept the family's gratitude.

Jenny's parents immediately made Wang Xiaoqiang some coffee, with Jenny keeping him company and talking.

Once the coffee was ready, the four of them sat together, drinking coffee. Jenny's father, James, wanted to thank Wang Xiaoqiang and mentioned offering money as a reward, but Wang Xiaoqiang declined, saying, "Jenny and I are good friends, helping you is what I should do..."

Seeing how genuine and honest the young man was, Jenny's parents were very pleased. Recalling the skills Wang Xiaoqiang had demonstrated on the deck, they were amazed, and suddenly a thought occurred to them to betroth their daughter Jenny to Wang Xiaoqiang. Perhaps, to bring Wang Xiaoqiang into their family as a son-in-law.

They had this melodramatic thought for a reason, because Jenny had long ago expressed her affection for China, to the extent of living there for three years, and she mentioned wanting to marry a Chinese man, but had never found the right one. Seeing their daughter's close relationship with Wang Xiaoqiang, they started to entertain this plan and began to learn more about Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Mr. Wang, what brings you to Australia this time?" asked Jenny's father, James.

"Er, I'm taking over a big ranch..." replied Wang Xiaoqiang truthfully. He heard from Jenny that her father was the Governor of Australia, and he thought that this James might be useful in the future.

"Er?..." Wang Xiaoqiang's answer somewhat surprised the family. Jenny's father immediately asked, "Which state in Australia is the ranch located and what's its name...?"

"Er, it's in the southern part of Victoria State, not far from Sydney... called Yesang Ranch..." Wang Xiaoqiang replied. He had heard about the ranch's location and name from Tanimoto Ichiro before coming here.

"Er, I know it, that's a ranch run by Japanese, they raise Kobe Beef," James exclaimed with some surprise, "But, Mr. Wang, the operational situation of Yesang Ranch has always been poor, the Kobe cattle there often get sick and die. Taking over now could be really unfortunate..."

"Er, it's alright. I got it at a low price..." Wang Xiaoqiang replied nonchalantly, utterly unaware that the ranch was given to Wang Xiaoqiang for free, and he changed the topic, "By the way, Mr. James, how come you know so much about Yesang Ranch?"

"Er, to be frank, I am the Governor of Victoria State..." said James, "And our home is not far from Yesang Ranch..."

"Er, I see. Then I'll be counting on you in the future..." Wang Xiaoqiang said humbly. "No problem, if you ever encounter any difficulties, just come to me!" James replied politely.

Jenny looked very happy to learn that Wang Xiaoqiang's ranch was close to her home. It was evident that she was very fond of Wang Xiaoqiang. The reason she had invited him to her room was not just out of physical need. Now she said, "Wang, shall we go together after disembarking?"

"..." Wang Xiaoqiang appeared to be somewhat troubled. After all, he was accompanied by two female servants and Tanimoto Ichiro; mingling with them together would indeed be somewhat inconvenient.

"Then let's do it together, and I'll cover all the costs," Jenny's father declared with a generous gesture. It's well known that abroad is different from home—China is a society built on personal relationships, but that's not the case overseas. Even close friends who are as thick as thieves stick to splitting the bill when eating together. A trip like this one can be quite expensive! By making such an offer, Jenny's father was clearly not treating Wang Xiaoqiang as an outsider. However, just as he finished speaking, Wang Xiaoqiang said..."Let's go together, it's good to have company on the road, but there's no need to worry about the travel expenses."

Wang Xiaoqiang's words took Jenny and her family by surprise. Clearly, they found his candid manner puzzling, as they had never encountered anyone like him in China. If they had, Jenny would have had a boyfriend by now. But the more Wang Xiaoqiang behaved this way, the more Jenny's family liked him and the more they wanted to take him as a son-in-law.

"Right, about that group of people from Japan, what's the story there? Why are they giving you trouble..." Wang Xiaoqiang inquired.

"Zhang, please wait a moment..." Jenny's father said, standing up. He returned to the bedroom and took out a dark brocade box. Instantly, the sixty-four Spiritual Springs within Wang Xiaoqiang's body all stirred at once.

When Jenny's father placed the brocade box on the table and opened it, the vibrations from the Five Elements Spirit Spring intensified even more.

Feeling excited yet apprehensive, Wang Xiaoqiang shifted his body a bit further away, thinking that inside must be a top-quality Wild Mountain Ginseng. But to his surprise, instead of Wild Mountain Ginseng, there was a grass-like plant in the box, which left him astonished. "Mr. Wang, this is Silver Heart Grass," Jenny's father pointed to the item in the box: "I bought it from a Daoist in China for thirty million RMB, never expecting it to bring us danger..."

"Silver Heart Grass, what's that?" Wang Xiaoqiang moved a bit further away again, trying his hardest to quell the tremors of the Spiritual Spring within him as he asked.

"You bought this Silver Heart Grass for what reason?" Zhang Cheng pinpointed the crux of the matter.

"According to that Daoist, it's a Spirit Grass that contains the essence of heaven and earth and can strengthen the body. It's very helpful for cultivators. Our family's elder is a cultivator. I was tasked by him to collect these things from China..." "Ah, I see," Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly said: "That means, those Japanese people aren't making trouble for no reason. They want to get their hands on your Silver Heart Grass..."

"That's right,"

"Then how about this, sell the Silver Heart Grass to me, how about that? An innocent man bears no guilt, but he who carries a jade tablet invites trouble. If you sell it to me, you won't be in any danger..." "This..." James hesitated.

"I'll give you thirty million RMB, no, forty million. That should be enough, right?" James looked deeply into Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes: "I know, Mr. Wang, you're no ordinary person, but this Spirit Grass, I was entrusted by our Clan Leader to deliver it to him upon my return to the country..."

"I can offer a higher price," Wang Xiaoqiang said, "You can give your Clan Leader a call. Tell him that he can raise the price as he likes, as long as it doesn't exceed one hundred million RMB, I won't bargain..."

"Alright, Mr. Zhang..." James agreed. He immediately took out his phone and called the Clan Leader.

After the call connected, he received devastating news; the James Clan's Clan Leader had just been attacked by a cultivator and died from his injuries.

Hearing this bad news, James was stunned for a good while, then sadly informed Wang Xiaoqiang. Wang Xiaoqiang did not expect there to be so much enmity and conflict among cultivators, expressed his condolences, and told James to take care.

James handed the brocade box to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Now that the Clan Leader has passed away, I'll give you this Silver Heart Grass as a token of my gratitude for your help earlier..."

"That's... that's really embarrassing, how about I buy it at the original price...?" Wang Xiaoqiang suggested.

"No need, please take it. I really don't feel like discussing this with you now," James said sorrowfully, "The Clan Leader's death is also tied to this Silver Heart Grass. It truly is a harmful object... Mr. Wang, if you don't want it, I will dispose of it..."

James was about to close the brocade box and looked like he was going to throw it away.

Wang Xiaoqiang immediately grabbed it, saying, "Please don't throw it away, such a good thing would be a pity to waste..."

The moment Wang Xiaoqiang held the brocade box, it seemed to come to life, shaking violently. Simultaneously, the sixty-four Spiritual Springs within him all rushed to his hands, drawing a massive suction force towards the box...

In an instant, the brocade box stopped shaking.

The sixty-four Spiritual Springs inside Wang Xiaoqiang also ceased their tremors, swelling up considerably as if they had been well-fed, expanding and contracting rapidly until all of a sudden...

Pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop...

A series of faint popping sounds that only Wang Xiaoqiang could hear rang out, and the sixty-four Spiritual Springs inside him split into two, turning into one hundred and twenty-eight Spiritual Springs.
