My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 600 Alchemy, Promotion!

"Tong Wu?"

"Yes, he’s the man who was with that youngster. He’s a director of the Chamber of Commerce in charge of medicinal ingredients. It would be much easier to enter Mystic Mountain with his help," Qi Yan said.

"That’s easy. Doesn’t that man want that dark, unimpressive thing? I’ll just sell it to him," Li Chengshou said. "Let’s go, we need to find them quickly."

However, when they turned to look, they found that Yang Qi and Tong Wu had already vanished.

Others might not have known, but Yang Qi was already aware there was nothing of value left, so there was no reason to stay. Ever since advancing to the First Layer of the Body Tempering Stage, Yang Qi had been attempting to cultivate the Heavenly Eye Skill from the Dragon God Technique—commonly known as opening the Heavenly Eye. Initially, once opened, the Heavenly Eye could only be used for seeing through objects. However, as his Cultivation progressed, other effects would emerge. He had relied on his Heavenly Eye just now to clearly discern the quality of the medicinal herbs. The place was crowded with prying eyes, and he didn’t want to become a target.

"Divine Doctor Yang, if you really want that item, I’ll go talk to Li Chengshou and see if I can buy it. I’ll pay for it." Noticing Yang Qi seemed displeased, Tong Wu couldn’t help but say this as they reached the car.

Before Yang Qi could speak, a voice suddenly rang out, "For three hundred million, the item is yours."

Yang Qi and Tong Wu looked over in astonishment to see Li Chengshou approaching with a group of people.

"You’re really willing to sell?" Tong Wu was pleased, as he was more than happy to do something for Yang Qi.

"Of course," Li Chengshou said. "But you have to do me a favor."

"Fifty million. Take it or leave it," Yang Qi said suddenly.

"You!" Li Chengshou was stunned, and Tong Wu was taken aback as well. This Divine Doctor Yang really knows how to haggle.

"Why don’t you just rob someone?" Li Chengshou couldn’t help but retort.

"Heh, if you hadn’t intercepted me, I could have gotten it for less than twenty million. Now I’m offering you fifty million, and you think it’s too little?" Yang Qi sneered. "If you don’t want to sell, then forget it. I only wanted to study it a little anyway; I’m not that interested. Tong Wu, let’s go."

Li Chengshou was so furious he could have coughed up blood. He had painstakingly spent three hundred million on that item, and this person wanted it for a mere fifty million?

"You haven’t told me, gentlemen, why you were looking for me?" Tong Wu asked curiously.

Li Chengshou looked at Tong Wu. "It’s like this: we want to go up Mystic Mountain to find something. Your Tong Family is responsible for guarding it, correct? Could you make an exception and let us have a look around the mountain?"

"What are you looking for?" Tong Wu frowned. "Mystic Mountain is extremely dangerous."

"We can’t tell you what we’re looking for. You just need to let us in. Also, find us a few experts familiar with Mystic Mountain to escort us," Li Chengshou continued.

"Are you ordering me?" Tong Wu’s gaze turned icy. The Tong Family was, after all, one of Sea City’s ten great families. While they didn’t want to provoke the Future Group, they wouldn’t stand for being bullied.

"Mr. Tong, don’t misunderstand. If you help us, there will be a generous reward," Qi Yan interjected.

"Master Qi, for you to help a foreigner... they must have paid you a handsome sum." Tong Wu glanced at Qi Yan. "As for a ’generous reward,’ how about you give us the item you just won at the auction? You can keep the money; the Tong Family has no interest in it."

"In your dreams!" Li Chengshou roared.

This is getting more and more outrageous! First, it was an offer of fifty million, and now they want it for free? Regardless of whether the thing is valuable, it was bought for three hundred million!

"If you’re not willing, then forget it. Suit yourselves, gentlemen," Tong Wu sneered. "Mystic Mountain is treacherous. Only the people of my Tong Family know the safe routes. Even if you manage to sneak in, I doubt you’d ever come back out alive."

"No problem. Let’s do that." After a moment of thought, Qi Yan said, "Mr. Li, give them the item."

"What?" Li Chengshou was stunned. "Three hundred million! That was three hundred million!"

"Mr. Li, your life is more important. Mr. Tong isn’t bluffing," Qi Yan explained. "That mountain is extremely dangerous. Anyone unfamiliar with it who goes in is guaranteed to die. Even I wouldn’t be confident. Three hundred million to save your life and the life of the Li Family’s Old Master... it’s worth it."

Besides, in Qi Yan’s view, the item would be just as useless in their hands. Otherwise, a Treasure like this would never have been put up for auction; it would have been snatched away long ago.

Li Chengshou thought for a moment before finally gritting his teeth and handing the item to Tong Wu.

"See you at the foot of Mystic Mountain in three days," Yang Qi said nonchalantly before getting into the car with Tong Wu and leaving.

Li Chengshou and Qi Yan left as well.

On the way, Yang Qi asked about Mystic Mountain, and Tong Wu answered all his questions.

"So there really is such a peculiar mountain? There must be something inside it." Yang Qi chuckled. He hadn’t expected this trip to Sea City to be filled with so many strange events.

Afterward, he sent Tong Wu away and entered the Presidential Suite, instructing Liao Fusheng not to disturb him for three days and that there was no need to bring him meals. He was going to begin his Cultivation.

The remnant of the beast’s Crystal Core, combined with the herbs he had purchased, would definitely allow him to reach the next level. In just one day, Yang Qi used the beast remnant and the other herbs to refine a batch of Body Tempering Pills through Alchemy. He spent the next two days in Cultivation, consuming the Body Tempering Pills.

「Three days later」

Yang Qi felt a surge of Powerful Energy burst forth from within his body. The bottleneck shattered. His Cultivation advanced to the Second Layer of the Body Tempering Stage.

Although it was just an entry level, the improvement brought by advancing a single layer was immeasurable. It would be useful for dealing with any experts he might encounter in the future. After all, he had offended the King of Hidden Weapons, one of the Eight Kings of the World. This was no small matter and required preparation.

He had refined a total of ten Body Tempering Pills and had seven remaining. However, the Elixir’s effects were too potent for ordinary people. Even a Seventh-Rank Great Grandmaster like Liao Fusheng couldn’t withstand it. Only a Martial Arts Overlord could possibly endure its power, but the residue left over from the Alchemy could be brewed into a medicinal soup.

Yang Qi summoned Liao Fusheng.

"Drink this. It’s a medicinal soup I brewed especially for you. One mouthful, and I guarantee your Realm will advance by at least two ranks!" Yang Qi said with a smile.

Liao Fusheng drank the bowl without a moment’s hesitation. The next moment, he felt energy erupting within him, as if he possessed inexhaustible strength.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

He broke through three acupoints in succession, his Realm skyrocketing from a Seventh-Rank Great Grandmaster to a Tenth-Rank Great Grandmaster.

When Tong Wu arrived, Yang Qi gave him a bowl as well. The concoction had to be consumed within a day, or its effects would diminish. It was a stroke of luck for Tong Wu. Otherwise, given his relationship with Yang Qi, he would have never been qualified to drink it.

Tong Wu was already much stronger than Liao Fusheng to begin with, being a Tenth-Rank Great Grandmaster. After drinking the soup and with Yang Qi’s help, he broke through directly to become a Second-Rank Martial Arts Overlord.

He was now endlessly grateful to Yang Qi.
