My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 20: Making Money!

Beneath the moon and among the flowers, exquisite pastries sat on a stone table. Yang Qi and Lin Qingxuan sat there, chatting and laughing, feeling exceptionally close.

"I never imagined you’d be so skilled!" Lin Qingxuan laughed.

"You’re not the only one surprised. Even I was shocked," Yang Qi said with a bitter smile. "If it weren’t for this incident, I wouldn’t have realized how strong I really am!"

"That Li Qiutong... I really don’t understand what she was thinking. How could she bear to leave a man like you?" Lin Qingxuan mused. This wasn’t the first time she had expressed such a sentiment. The more she interacted with Yang Qi, the more she realized how formidable he was.

"I wasn’t like this in the past," Yang Qi said modestly.

"But you were able to build your own company from scratch, with a net worth of a billion. That’s impressive in itself! These days, not many people can truly start from nothing like you did," Lin Qingxuan said, shaking her head, her eyes full of admiration.

Yang Qi felt a little embarrassed. "Even so, that woman never thought I was good enough," he said self-deprecatingly.

"Did you love her very much?" Lin Qingxuan asked, resting her chin in her hands.

"Perhaps in the past, but now, the sight of that woman only disgusts me!" Yang Qi wasn’t lying. "I even wish I could kill her!"

"That’s good!" Lin Qingxuan smiled. "What do you think of me?"

"You’re wonderful!" Yang Qi paused for a moment before nodding. "Beautiful and very kind."

"Then how about I become your wife?" Lin Qingxuan suddenly asked.

"What?"

Yang Qi was stunned. The pastry in his hand fell to the ground, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Miss!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the courtyard, as silent as a ghost. It wasn’t until he spoke that Yang Qi and Lin Qingxuan even noticed him.

"Uncle Zhong!" Lin Qingxuan looked at Zhong Qiang. "Why are you here?"

Zhong Qiang glanced at Yang Qi before answering, "Miss, from now on, I will accompany you until you return to Jingzhou!"

Yang Qi looked at Zhong Qiang and felt an immense pressure. This Zhong Qiang was too powerful. Although he wasn’t a Cultivator, the sense of power he radiated was completely overwhelming.

"Yang Qi, you should go back first!" Lin Qingxuan’s brow furrowed. If Zhong Qiang found out about her relationship with Yang Qi, he would be in deep trouble. It had to be kept a secret.

"Oh!" Yang Qi nodded and returned to his own villa.

A suffocating feeling weighed on his heart. Without strength, he couldn’t even pursue the woman he liked. This Zhong Qiang was merely a bodyguard for the Lin Family of Jingzhou, yet his power was terrifying. It seems I have to get stronger. And getting stronger requires money! I’ve already borrowed from Lin Qingxuan once; I can’t possibly ask again. I need a sustainable way to earn money. That means re-establishing my old company. Only then will I be qualified to participate in the Lin Family of Jingzhou’s bidding conference. Starting a company requires capital. I have a plan. I know Dragon Country has Martial Artists, but I’ve never heard of any Cultivators. Martial Artists also need Elixirs for their Cultivation. Even the most common Body Tempering Pill is a treasure to martial arts practitioners. Some are willing to spend tens of millions to purchase one. The Body Tempering Pills I refined before were for my own use, so the ingredients were quite expensive. If I sold one, I could probably get over a hundred million, no problem. This time, I’ll spend a little money to refine an ordinary Body Tempering Pill. The cost will be only one percent of the original, and its effectiveness will also be one percent. But if I take it to an auction house, it will definitely fetch a price over ten million.

With that thought, he immediately got to work. He still had some leftover materials from before. It would be enough.

The next morning, there were still two days left until the Lin Family’s bidding conference in Jingzhou. Yang Qi put on a strange fish mask he had bought online and arrived at the Ye Family Auction House in Kang City.

The Ye Family was the Ye Family of Jingzhou. Like the Lin Family of Jingzhou, they were one of the top families in Dragon Country, though ranked slightly lower. They were still in the same league. That was why, even though the Ye Family Auction House handled extremely valuable items, no one dared to cause trouble there.

"Sir, how may I help you?" Yang Qi’s peculiar attire made the auction house staff somewhat wary.

"Appraisal!" Yang Qi said, modulating his voice with Spiritual Energy. He made sure that even if Li Qiutong were here, she wouldn’t recognize him. He did this to avoid the trouble that comes with possessing a treasure, making it crucial to hide his identity.

"Please come in." With a skeptical look, the guard led Yang Qi into the auction house’s appraisal room.

"What do you want to have appraised?" the Treasure Appraiser asked, glancing at Yang Qi with a hint of displeasure.

Yang Qi ignored him, took out a small vial, and placed it on the table.

The Treasure Appraiser picked up the vial, opened it, and sniffed. A look of surprise crossed his face. "Could this be...!"

"That’s right. A Body Tempering Pill," Yang Qi confirmed.

What!

The Treasure Appraiser shot to his feet. Martial Arts were prevalent in Dragon Country, but not many people were truly skilled. However, anyone with even a little proficiency was very wealthy. To a Martial Artist, a Body Tempering Pill was nothing short of a treasure.

"Sir, please wait a moment. We need to verify this!" the Treasure Appraiser said respectfully, his attitude completely transformed.

"Of course!"

Yang Qi was confident in his product. A few minutes later, the Treasure Appraiser confirmed the authenticity of the Body Tempering Pill using a specialized instrument.

"Sir, how would you like to handle this Body Tempering Pill?" the Treasure Appraiser asked.

"Auction it," Yang Qi said. "The sooner the better. Ideally, schedule it for today."

"As it happens, we’re holding an auction today. If you can wait a moment, it should be over in an hour at most, and you can collect your money then. We charge a ten percent commission. Is that acceptable?" As he spoke, the Treasure Appraiser brought out a contract.

Yang Qi looked it over and signed.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Yang Qi was invited to the general manager’s office. The Body Tempering Pill was apparently so stunning that it had caught the manager’s attention.

Yang Qi pushed the door open and saw a mature woman in professional attire. She wore glasses and possessed an enchanting figure.

"Sir, you must be the owner of the Body Tempering Pill. Please, have a seat!" Ye Lingyue looked at Yang Qi, as if trying to see right through his mask. Her voice was very pleasant. The scent of her perfume, whatever it was, made Yang Qi’s heart pound.

Forcing down his improper thoughts, Yang Qi said coldly, "The auction is over, isn’t it? Where’s the money?"

Ye Lingyue was taken aback. She hadn’t expected this man to have such excellent self-control. It wasn’t vanity; she knew she was highly alluring to men. Most men lost their composure around her, acting like salivating wolves. She had closed many business deals simply by making an appearance. But the man before her seemed to be different.
