My husband Can Cultivate

While the Hanfang Association was busy quelling the public opinion fallout, Yang Qi had already returned to the Kang River Villa in Kang City.

He took out four treasures.

The first was the Demon Fox Mask. Others didn’t know how to use it, but he did, as the Dragon God Technique contained a detailed description. It was a Magic Artifact usable only by Cultivators. By infusing it with Spiritual Power, the user could directly change their appearance and voice, though their body shape remained unaltered. This item was incredibly important to Yang Qi; after all, there were times he preferred not to be conspicuous. He could make full use of the Demon Fox Mask for certain activities.

The second treasure was a three-hundred-year-old Snow Viewing Grass. It could be used with other materials to concoct a Snow Viewing Foundation Establishment Pill, which was guaranteed to advance his Cultivation by at least one realm. It had truly come at the perfect time.

The third treasure was the Meditation Map. Cultivating near this painting increased one’s cultivation speed. It was beneficial for both Martial Arts practitioners and Cultivators, roughly doubling their rate of progress. It could practically be called a Divine Artifact. The three billion Yang Qi had spent on these items was definitely a bargain.

Others might not have recognized the fourth treasure, but Yang Qi did. This item was the Space Ancestor Dragon Stone, which allowed for short-range teleportation to any place within his line of sight. He could even pass through the crack of a door; as long as he could see inside, he could teleport there.

Yang Qi now possessed three Ancestor Dragon Stones: Life, Heavenly Dao, and Space. He had given the Life Ancestor Dragon Stone to Lin Qingxuan for her protection, while the Heavenly Dao and Space stones were in his hands. The Heavenly Dao Ancestor Dragon Stone could enhance the power of any attack, including Spells and Martial Arts. The Space Ancestor Dragon Stone, on the other hand, allowed for short-distance teleportation. In a critical moment, it could be miraculously effective.

However, he first had to repay his debt. While in Thunder City, Yang Qi had sent a WeChat message to Lin Qingxuan, and a few minutes later, five billion had been deposited into his account. He needed to return the remaining four billion to her. When he explained the situation, she replied with a doting emoji, "Keep it and use it. I snuck out and have to go back now! I’ll be waiting for you to come find me!"

When Yang Qi messaged back, there was no response. Clearly, the Heavenly God Sect was a special place with a complete signal blockade.

Then I’ll just keep it for now. I guess I’ll live off a woman for once. Yang Qi chuckled to himself.

He then began the process of concocting the Snow Viewing Foundation Establishment Pill. A pill made from a three-hundred-year-old Snow Viewing Grass wasn’t easy to refine. However, his Alchemy Skill had become very proficient, so it wasn’t a problem for him.

While Yang Qi was busy with his alchemy, a guest arrived at the Qifei Group. It was an envoy from the Hanfang Association.

"President Ye, President Li, tomorrow at four in the afternoon at the Kang City Grand Hotel, we will discuss the future of the Qifei Group with you. Of course, this involves matters of cooperation between our two companies. We hope you will not refuse. Otherwise, I cannot predict what the Hanfang Association might do!"

After finishing his statement, the envoy left.

In the office, both Ye Fei and Li Qingyan wore grim expressions.

"Looks like they’re planning to lay their cards on the table!" Ye Fei said with a dry laugh.

"Hmph, they’ve been using all sorts of petty tricks lately," Li Qingyan snorted coldly. "They’ve tried to poach our staff, compete with us for medicinal herbs and equipment, and even steal our investors. They’ve threatened our partners, all without any significant effect. They must be planning some big move."

"President Ye, should we go or not?" she asked.

"I think if it were the boss, he would definitely go," Ye Fei said after a moment of thought. "Problems always need to be resolved. Dragging things out is not the solution. You don’t have to worry about this. I’ll call the boss and ask for his opinion."

"Okay!"

Ye Fei called Yang Qi, but Iron Heart answered, saying that Yang Qi was occupied with something important and couldn’t take the call. Having no choice, Ye Fei could only wait for an entire day.

At the Kang River Villa, a dazzling white light suddenly shot up into the sky. Many people saw it, but the light vanished in a flash, so most didn’t know where it had come from.

Inside the villa, Yang Qi looked at the white Snow Viewing Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, his face beaming with excitement. Then, he swallowed it in one gulp.

The time needed for cultivation was much shorter than for alchemy. It wasn’t until around three o’clock the next afternoon that Yang Qi’s cultivation session finally concluded.

A terrifying aura burst forth from the Cultivation Room. At that moment, Iron Heart, Iron Bone, Wolf King, and the Wolf Guards were all outside. Yang Qi had purposely called them over because he had discovered that the energy of an elixir could never be fully absorbed. He hoped the overflowing energy would be enough to help them break through their realms. Why wouldn’t I?

Fantastic! I didn’t expect the results of this cultivation session to be so outstanding. I’ve actually advanced to the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage. A smile touched Yang Qi’s lips. The outcome was much better than he had imagined. He had been worried that his Combat Power wasn’t a match for Mitsuhide Kamishiro’s and what he would do if the Heavenly Dog Society attacked.

But now, there was no need to worry. At the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, his realm was equivalent to a Tenth Rank Great Grandmaster, but considering his overall Combat Power, he was definitely comparable to a Martial Arts Overlord. The rank above Great Grandmaster was the Martial Arts Overlord level.

Yang Qi went to take a bath and discovered that his skin seemed to have improved significantly. His five senses were further enhanced, and his speed, strength, and durability were all much greater than before.

When he stepped out, Iron Heart and the others were still cultivating. Even the overflowing energy was enough for them to achieve a breakthrough, possibly more than once.

Just then, his phone rang. It was Ye Fei.

Yang Qi answered the call, and Ye Fei explained the situation.

Yang Qi sneered. "The Hanfang Association wants to acquire our Qifei Group? Don’t worry. Leave this to me!"

He knew the trip would be dangerous, so of course he wouldn’t let Ye Fei or Li Qingyan go. Besides, it was a good chance to annoy the other party.

After the call ended, Iron Heart finished his cultivation. This time, he had broken through two realms in succession, reaching the level of a Seventh Rank Great Grandmaster. He could finally stand on his own, his strength now comparable to the once-famous Six Generals of the Thunder Sect.

"Let’s go," Yang Qi said with a smile. "Follow me to the Kang City Grand Hotel to meet the people from the Hanfang Association. There might be a fight!"

Having just broken through, he sincerely hoped the enemy would send more people. Otherwise, it would be too boring. Of course, cannon fodder wouldn’t do. He hoped the other party would dispatch some experts so he could test how strong he had truly become.

「Three-thirty in the afternoon.」

Inside a private room at the Kang City Grand Hotel, no dishes were served. Instead, the room had been set up like a conference room with only some tea and snacks. The people from the Hanfang Association had already arrived.

The one in the lead was a woman who was a rising star in the Hanfang Association: the former chief negotiator and legal representative of their Legal Affairs Department, and now the general agent for the Hanfang Association’s Dragon Country District.

She was a formidable woman. Dressed in a black business suit, her imposing, queenly aura was on full display, though it carried a gloomy edge that was so oppressive everyone else struggled to breathe.
