My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 337

Song Ruize gasped heavily, so frightened that snot and tears streamed down his face. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Rest assured, I won't kill you now. I'm going to ruin your reputation and make you a pariah that everyone wants to hunt down. Only then will you die! Remember my words!" Yang Qi gave Song Ruize a cold glance. "Oh, and by the way, I don't want to see Yao Ran and Liu Changsheng get disqualified. If that happens, I promise you won't live to see the next day."

With that, he left with Yao Ran.

A puddle had already formed beneath Song Ruize, but he was in no state to clean it up. He immediately took out his phone and dialed Wu Hongda's number.

"Master Wu, what is the meaning of this? How is Yang Qi still alive!" he practically roared into the phone.

"Are you questioning me?" Wu Hongda said coldly. "Do you think I don't have the guts to kill you?"

Only then did Song Ruize realize that Wu Hongda was not someone he could afford to provoke.

"No, Master Wu, I didn't mean to blame you," Song Ruize said hastily. "I just don't understand."

"Don't understand? You son of a bitch, you nearly got me killed! Don't ever call me again. Otherwise, I'll make you die!" With that, Wu Hongda hung up.

Song Ruize's hand froze in midair, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do. From Wu Hongda's words, he came to a single conclusion: Wu Hongda had lost.

But how could that be?! Wu Hongda is a Fourth-Rank Great Grandmaster. Is Yang Qi really that terrifying?

Song Ruize shivered, a sudden realization dawning on him: he had provoked the wrong person.

No! I can't let this happen! I've already offended him, so I can't let him get away with it! If I can't do anything else, I'll make sure he doesn't get first place in the Elixir Medicine Conference! If worst comes to worst, I'll just defect to the Hanfang Association and join Kappa Country!

Song Ruize gritted his teeth, having already decided on his escape route.

「Meanwhile, at Lei Mansion.」

Lei Yingying was in the living room, playing a video recording. It was the only recording of the fight, and she was the only one who had it. Seated in the living room were Lei Qingtian, the Prefecture Master of Jingnan Prefecture; his son, Lei Tingjun; and his grandson, Lei Zhen.

"He didn't use any Inner Strength? He defeated a Fourth-Rank Great Grandmaster with sheer physical power alone?" Lei Tingjun stared in disbelief. "Father, I'm afraid we've underestimated Mr. Yang!"

Lei Qingtian nodded. "Indeed. When he first said he was going to pursue Lin Qingxuan, I didn't take him seriously. I thought he was a toad lusting after a swan. Now it seems I was the one who misjudged. Not only is he worthy of Lin Qingxuan, but he might even become a figure on the level of the War God King or the Dragon King."

"How does he compare to the Heavenly God's Son?" Lei Yingying asked.

Lei Qingtian shook his head. "The Heavenly God's Son... why is he called that? Because he is a god, not a man. There is no comparison. No matter how hard Yang Qi tries, the gap between them will only widen. It's a pity. The Heavenly God's Son has taken a particular interest in Lin Qingxuan, which means for Yang Qi, it's destined to be an impossible dream. If he knew how terrifying the Heavenly God's Son is, he would surely fall into despair."

"Is the Heavenly God's Son really that powerful?" Lei Yingying asked, sounding skeptical.

"What do you know!" Lei Qingtian exclaimed. "In the presence of the Heavenly God's Son, so-called Great Grandmasters are nothing more than ants. Even the mighty War God King and Dragon King are insignificant before him. You must remember this: the Heavenly God Sect is the most mysterious organization in the world, a power that stands above all else.

"The Heavenly God's Son is the Young Master of the Heavenly God Sect, and he is the most talented genius in its entire history. It would be remarkable enough for Yang Qi to reach the level of the War God King and the Dragon King. But the Heavenly God's Son... I can't even imagine how anyone could ever hope to catch up to him."

Lei Yingying gasped. She never imagined her grandfather would hold someone in such high esteem.

"Actually, if he and Lin Qingxuan can't be together, it might be a good thing for us," Lei Tingjun said with a smile. "Yingying, you'll have to put in the effort."

"I'd like to, but Yang Qi is very devoted. He only has eyes for Lin Qingxuan," Lei Yingying sighed.

"Where there's a will, there's a way," Lei Qingtian added. "Just keep being good to him. One day, he will understand that Lin Qingxuan is forever beyond his reach. He'll have no choice but to give up."

"Alright, I'll do my best!"

The truth was, Lei Yingying had already fallen for Yang Qi. His myriad abilities were truly enough to make any woman's heart flutter.

Of course, Yang Qi was unaware of this assessment. He had already returned to his residence and had asked Yao Ran and Liu Changsheng to move in as well. With the Elixir Medicine Conference about to begin, the three of them planned to discuss the event.

"Mr. Yang, I believe your true opponent this time isn't Song Ruize, nor is it Elder Chen Guo," Yao Ran said. "It's Chuyun Xiong from the Kappa Country's Hanfang Association."

"Chuyun Xiong? Why is someone from Kappa Country participating in the competition?" Yang Qi frowned.

"I heard he's a specially invited participant. Although his performance won't be officially scored, if no one can defeat this Chuyun Xiong, our Dragon Country's elixirs will lose face. Our National Medicine will be disgraced," Liu Changsheng added.

"What's so impressive about him?" Yang Qi asked.

"Rumor has it that Chuyun Xiong has been passionate about alchemy since childhood," Yao Ran continued. "He has studied many elixirs from ancient formulas, and his refinement techniques are exceptionally skilled. But the most terrifying thing is that Chuyun Xiong possesses an Innate Spiritual Fire!"

"An Innate Spiritual Fire!" Yang Qi was genuinely surprised.

Possessing a Spiritual Fire is the greatest mark of talent for an Alchemist. Ordinary people can only use Mortal Fire for alchemy, producing elixirs suitable for other mortals. But with a Spiritual Fire, one can craft elixirs imbued with spiritual energy, which are effective for Martial Artists. Spiritual Fire is incredibly difficult to obtain through cultivation alone. Even if one succeeds, the resulting flame is usually quite ordinary. An Innate Spiritual Fire, however, is on another level. It signifies that the person is a true prodigy of alchemy.

"What level is his Spiritual Fire?" Yang Qi asked.

Spiritual Fire is naturally divided into levels and normally classified into ten. The higher the level, the stronger the flame and the more spiritual it becomes, almost like a pet.

"I'm not sure about the exact level," Yao Ran continued. "But it is said that Spiritual Fire has five basic elemental affinities. Beyond that, some Spiritual Fires undergo mutations, becoming even more powerful. Examples include Thunder Spirit Fire, Ice Spirit Fire, Light Spirit Fire, and Dark Spirit Fire! Chuyun Xiong's flame is supposedly an innate Mutant Fire—the Dark Spirit Fire. It's extremely high-level!"

"Heh, that does sound interesting," Yang Qi laughed. "In that case, I'll give it a shot. Let's see if I can beat this Chuyun Xiong."

The stronger the enemy, the more excited he grew. For the next few days, Yang Qi didn't leave his residence, focusing entirely on his cultivation. He wasn't, however, raising his cultivation level. Instead, he was cultivating his Spiritual Fire. Since he had already mastered the five basic elements, cultivating the five corresponding types of Spiritual Fire was a natural progression for him.

「Several days later, the Elixir Medicine Conference was set to begin.」

That day, Yao Ran and Liu Changsheng went to the venue early to get familiar with the layout, while Yang Qi headed there alone.
