My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 352: Settle Accounts After the Autumn! Advertisement

Yang Qi, who was preparing for the finals, received a phone call.

It was from Iron Heart.

"Someone tried to kidnap Qianqian, but I caught him alive. He gave up a name."

"Song Ruize?" Yang Qi asked.

"Correct. It's that guy," Iron Heart said.

"Hand him over to Zhao Xiong, but keep it quiet for now. We'll settle all our accounts after the Elixir Medicine Conference is over," Yang Qi said calmly.

Although he was furious, tipping his hand now would be pointless. He wanted to plunge Song Ruize into an abyss so deep he could never make a comeback.

「One hour later.」

The final of the Elixir Medicine Conference was about to begin as the audience streamed in. Although the number of tickets had been limited, there were still fifty to sixty thousand spectators present. The clamorous venue felt just like a soccer match.

National Medicine was highly developed in Jingnan Prefecture, so its influence was significant.

"Mr. Yang, it's time. Let's head to the venue!"

Zhu Benxiu had already taken his seat in the audience. Now, Lei Yingying was leading Yang Qi through a channel exclusive to the contestants. Dozens of guards stood at their posts here, each exuding a powerful and majestic aura. With Lei Yingying leading the way, no one dared to stop them.

Beyond the door was a waiting room. The competition field lay on the other side, and the roar of the crowd outside was still audible.

Yang Qi glanced around and saw that a total of ten people had made it to the finals, including Master Chen Guo, Song Ruize, and Liu Changsheng.

Normally, Liu Changsheng wouldn't have qualified for the finals. However, he had learned a great deal from Yang Qi and had attained a certain level of skill in Alchemy. Therefore, it was only natural for him to make it this far.

"Mr. Yang!" Liu Changsheng and Master Chen Guo both approached to greet him with great respect.

"Ah, you're both here," Yang Qi smiled. "It's not easy for Kang City to have two people in the finals. After all, in the past, no one from our city ever made it this far."

"Today's final isn't just a competition for us alchemists," Master Chen Guo said earnestly. "Mr. Yang, you must defeat Chuyun Xiong. Otherwise, the entire medical world of Dragon Country will lose face. This is a battle for our national dignity!"

"Don't worry, I'll do my best," Yang Qi nodded. As a citizen of Dragon Country, he naturally wanted to bring honor to his nation. This was no longer just a personal struggle against Song Ruize; the dignity of Dragon Country was at stake.

"Heh, you're all ridiculous. Placing your hopes on this little brat?" Song Ruize scoffed. "I could defeat this kid easily. How could he possibly compare to Young Master Chuyun!"

"Is that so?" Yang Qi smiled. "In my eyes, you aren't even worth mentioning."

Song Ruize's expression darkened. "Ignorant boy! You just wait. You'll be crying later!"

With a flick of his sleeves, he went and sat beside Chuyun Xiong.

Chuyun Xiong stared intently at Yang Qi. He remained silent, but the earlier incident had already made him despise Yang Qi completely. He swore to himself that he would make Yang Qi lose all face during this Elixir Medicine Conference.

Just then, Lei Qingtian, Lei Tingjun, and others arrived. This Elixir Medicine Conference was organized by the Lei Mansion, so all the high-ranking officials of Jingnan Prefecture were in attendance.

Lei Qingtian greeted Yang Qi as soon as he arrived. "Mr. Yang, we're counting on you. You can't lose!"

Lei Qingtian was also feeling nervous. Chuyun Xiong's participation had drawn a huge amount of attention to this year's conference. If Chuyun Xiong were to win the championship, it would be a huge embarrassment.

"Mm," Yang Qi nodded. It seemed this Chuyun Xiong really was formidable, otherwise Lei Qingtian wouldn't be so anxious.

"Prefecture Master Lei, if you're pinning your hopes on him, you've already lost!" Chuyun Xiong stood up and declared loudly. "I will be the champion of the finals. I'm going to show the medical world of Dragon Country that the true Alchemy Masters are in Kappa Country!"

He then turned and strode out into the competition venue.

Yang Qi just smiled with a hint of disdain. Master Chen Guo's expression, however, turned gloomy, and Liu Changsheng's face was filled with anger. The medical world of Dragon Country was being belittled. How could they not be angry?

The problem was, they really might not be able to defeat him. Yang Qi, on the other hand, wasn't angry because he was confident.

"Alright, don't be angry," Yang Qi said with a smile, patting both Master Chen Guo and Liu Changsheng gently. "It will only sour your mood and make it easier to slip up during the Alchemy later. If you really want to shut him up, the competition field is the place to prove who's superior." He then headed outside as well.

Watching the contestants walk one by one toward the venue, Lei Tingjun frowned. "Dad, are we really betting everything on Mr. Yang? His Medical Skills are brilliant, but today is a test of Alchemy. His Energy Pill is outstanding, but it's not a high-level elixir. Can he really defeat Chuyun Xiong? I heard Chuyun Xiong prepared meticulously for this competition. That bastard Song Ruize even gave him a file on every single competitor."

"Why worry so much?" Lei Qingtian stroked his beard. "At this point, do we have any better choice? We can only trust in Yang Qi. If he loses, it just proves we misjudged him. It's a gamble; you win some, you lose some."

Lei Tingjun sighed. Indeed, it was all they could do. In all of Jingnan Prefecture, besides Song Ruize, there was only Yang Qi. But that Song Ruize, despite possessing incredible talent in Alchemy, had sold out to the enemy. It was despicable.

"I think you're both underestimating Mr. Yang," Lei Yingying said with a smile. "He will definitely win."

"Why?" the two men asked.

"A woman's intuition!" Lei Yingying laughed and also walked toward the venue.

Lei Qingtian and Lei Tingjun exchanged a smile. Perhaps they really were overthinking it. Right now, they simply needed to trust in Yang Qi.

Yang Qi had already arrived at the center of the venue, the designated area for the competition. Ten Alchemy Platforms were set up, each marked with a name. Yang Qi sat down, closing his eyes to rest his mind. An idea was already forming.

As time passed, all the contestants arrived and took their places. None of them spoke. Instead, they sat with their eyes closed, resting and repeatedly simulating the Alchemy process in their minds.

None of those who reached the finals were slouches, and every one of them wanted to win the crown. A victory here would, at the very least, make them famous throughout Jingnan Prefecture. No one wanted to ruin their future over a single, careless mistake.

In the stands, however, the tens of thousands of spectators were far from quiet, all of them excitedly discussing who would take home the championship.

"It has to be Chuyun Xiong, no question about it. He's the Young Master of the Hanfang Association! Plus, he's won multiple awards at the World Alchemy Conference. Who else can even compare?"

"That's not a sure thing. I think Chairman Song and Chairman Chen have a fighting chance."

"No way, impossible!"

"Either way, the champion will definitely be one of those two, Chuyun Xiong or Song Ruize. Everyone else is just here for show."
