Suddenly waking from the dream, yet in the instant he woke, Wang Xiaoqiang entered another dreamscape. In the dream, it was still years back, when he had graduated high school and returned to Sanmiao Village to lease land. In the Shibalih River, something like a loach burrowed into his body. After meticulous study, he found he had gained superpowers—the Five Elements Spirit Spring.
Suddenly the dream woke again, followed by another dream that continued from the first dreamscape... In it, he underwent a systematic medical examination at the county town hospital, concluding he had a benign tumor. Then, he returned home for conservative treatment. Lin Qingshan, an old Chinese medicine doctor in the village, prescribed some herbs. Wang Xiaoqiang took them punctually every day, persisting in physical exercise. He did not succumb to despair because of his illness, tending to his cornfield and developing his career while recuperating.
