My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 236: Diagram of Laojun

After that incident, Yang Qi put it out of his mind. He returned home and concentrated on studying the Diagram of the Elder Lord. This was no ordinary map; it contained a universe within itself. On it were the fragmented patterns of ancient arrays, and he suspected it was originally a magic artifact.

Yang Qi spent several days researching these arrays, comparing them one by one with the records in the Dragon God Technique. Eventually, he managed to crack their mysteries. It turned out to be a spatial array, one capable of creating a space out of thin air for storing items.

I wonder what’s hidden inside this painting. It looks like I’ll need to find some materials to mend this array properly. Only then can I uncover its secrets.

Yang Qi made up his mind. He would have to obtain some materials at the Treasure Convention, though he wasn’t sure if any would be available. After all, resources for immortal cultivation were incredibly scarce in modern society.

Meanwhile, as the launch date of their new medicine drew near, things at the Qifei Group became hectic. Li Qingyan grew incredibly busy, working overtime every day. She was a truly hard worker. Yang Qi saw her dedication and was quite satisfied. He also secretly commissioned Huang Borren to find Heavenly Heart Grass to help Li Qingyan plant a spiritual heart.

Li Qingyan was now focused on handling the promotional work for the medicine. To this end, she used her personal connections to invite a renowned international pharmaceutical expert from abroad. This man had won major awards and was well-known. He was from Eagle Country and his name was Johnny.

Yang Qi had heard of Johnny, but he didn’t particularly like him. Before winning the award, Johnny had been a genuine scientist and researcher. But after receiving it, he had seemingly turned into a runway celebrity. He was taking on endorsements everywhere, promoting pharmaceuticals and making a fortune. However, his reputation within the professional circle was plummeting.

Of course, ordinary people were unaware of this. To them, Johnny was a genuine expert, a giant in the field of pharmacology. They believed any advertisement he endorsed. From a business perspective, having him represent Qifei Group’s pharmaceuticals was the right call, so Yang Qi did not interfere.

In addition to Johnny, Li Qingyan also hired several locally famous influencers for endorsements. For a time, this strategy generated massive buzz for the Qifei Group. Moreover, the company had just celebrated moving into a new office building. It was truly a time of double blessings, and spirits were high.

One day, with nothing better to do, Yang Qi went to the clinic to treat patients. After all, without suitable materials to advance his cultivation, he could only accumulate energy slowly by healing the sick.

He never expected to find his National Medicine Clinic had been commandeered.

"Get out, all of you! This isn’t a place for you riffraff," a security guard shouted. "The internationally renowned expert, Dr. Johnny, is holding consultations today. If you don’t have money, then scram! Don’t get in the way of people trying to see the doctor!"

These people had not only taken over Yang Qi’s clinic but had also hired security guards to drive away the poor patients waiting there, shooing them off as if they were pests. Anger raged within Yang Qi as he watched. They had commandeered his clinic and were now driving away his patients. What right did they have?

"We don’t know any Johnny, we want to see Divine Doctor Yang!"

"Exactly! What right does a foreigner have to practice here?"

"This is Divine Doctor Yang’s National Medicine Clinic!"

"Divine Doctor Yang treats us poor folk for free! This foreign expert is despicable for calling us riffraff!"

The people in the crowd were deeply displeased.

"I heard this foreigner is here to endorse a medicine for the Qifei Group. He’s their brand ambassador. Why would the Qifei Group ignore Divine Doctor Yang and hire someone like this? Do they really believe the grass is always greener on the other side?"

Everyone was indignant, and Yang Qi’s expression grew even darker. Johnny’s poor character was one thing, but this was dragging the Qifei Group through the mud, about to destroy the very reputation and public goodwill the company had worked so hard to build. He would not tolerate it.

With that thought, he started walking inside.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

At the entrance, several bodyguards blocked Yang Qi’s path. They were shouting at the crowd while holding the leashes of several large, snarling dogs. The animals barked fiercely at the people, a perfect example of a dog borrowing its master’s might.

"What am I doing? This is my damn clinic!" Yang Qi shouted angrily.

"Heh, your clinic? So what?" one of the bodyguards sneered. "Mr. Johnny has requisitioned it! You don’t need to work today. Go on home and sleep!"

"What a joke. What right does he have to requisition my clinic?" Yang Qi demanded.

"That’s right! This is Divine Doctor Yang’s clinic! Get out now!" a person in the crowd yelled.

"Or we’ll post what you’re doing online for everyone to see!"

"Let the whole world see what kind of person this Johnny really is!"

Seeing Yang Qi, the crowd grew emboldened and shouted loudly.

Inside, Johnny was holding a beautiful woman’s hand, a lecherous look plastered on his face. "Madam, don’t you worry," he said smoothly, his fingers stroking her hand. "Take the medicine I prescribe, and I guarantee you’ll conceive within three months."

To think Johnny is this kind of person... and I once considered him an idol. This is truly awful. Yang Qi shook his head in dismay.

The beautiful woman pulled her hand away, gave Johnny a large sum of money, and quickly left.

Johnny stood up and looked coldly at Yang Qi. "So, you’re the owner of this clinic. I’ve requisitioned it. Now, get your filthy patients out of here. I’m the spokesperson invited by your Qifei Group, so you’d better not offend me. Otherwise, you’ll face the consequences! They all stink. If anyone refuses to leave, beat them! Do it now!"

Johnny was getting annoyed. He was only using this place to scam some money out of the wealthy fools in Kang City, preying on their desperation. He’d just made a cool million off that last woman alone. These people were so rich and stupid. As for the poor bastards outside... they weren’t even worth the effort to cheat.

"Get on with it!"

At his command, the bodyguards moved to expel the patients.

"I’d like to see you try," Yang Qi said, his face darkening.

He hadn’t wanted to meddle with the Qifei Group’s promotional strategy, but now he had no choice.

The bodyguards hesitated, looking at Yang Qi.

Johnny frowned. "Kid, what do you think you’re doing?"

"Hmph, I should be asking you that," Yang Qi snorted. "This is my clinic. I’ve already told you more than once. Get out of here, now. I need to treat my patients!"

"You ungrateful wretch! I’m honoring you by using your clinic, and you’re not happy about it? Fine. In that case, we’ll deal with you first. Get him!"

Since there were no wealthy patients around at the moment, Johnny decided to deal with this problem quickly. It wouldn’t do to have this rabble affect his clients’ impression of him.
