My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 177 Divine Doctor Ding

The Wolf King didn’t know where Yang Qi’s immense confidence came from, but he still nodded. "At least, that’s how it appears on the surface. However, many experts rarely show their hand, so we can’t be certain. Publicly, the Five Independents are definitely considered top-tier."

"Fine then," Yang Qi sneered. "Seven days from now, I will trample the Five Independents under my feet!"

He didn’t just want to become stronger; he also wanted to build a reputation. He wanted to make the Lin Family of Jingzhou understand that he was worthy of Lin Qingxuan.

The news that Yang Qi was going to challenge the Five Independents spread quickly. This was partly because the Liang Family deliberately circulated it. Unsure of the stance of the Ye and Lin Families in Jingzhou, they naturally resorted to this seemingly aboveboard method to eliminate Yang Qi. At the same time, Yang Qi himself was fanning the flames. He also intended to use this battle to elevate his own prestige, hoping to make contact with more experts and perhaps even get a glimpse of another side of this world. He was convinced that there was a hidden world beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Almost the entire Jingnan Prefecture was now discussing the matter.

In the Lei Mansion of the Provincial City, Lei Qingtian furrowed his brows. "Mr. Yang is still too impulsive. Not only are the Five Independents powerful, but the Five Elements Tower also gives them a near-divine advantage. On top of that, those five are exceptionally cunning. I’m afraid Mr. Yang will be at a disadvantage. Yingying, take some people to Kang City. If Mr. Yang gets into trouble, you must save him. His medical skills are a treasure!"

"Understood!" Lei Yingying had only returned from Kang City a few days ago, and now she had to go back. However, she wasn’t annoyed. On the contrary, she was excited. She, too, was eager to see Yang Qi’s prowess in Martial Arts.

In the Wang Family, Wang Teng and Li Qiutong were discussing the matter over tea.

"I never thought this Yang Qi would be so eager to die. It saves us the trouble of dealing with him ourselves," Wang Teng sneered.

"What Martial Arts could he possibly know? He just has some brute strength, which is hardly worth mentioning!" Li Qiutong scoffed dismissively.

At the same time, the Zhao Family, the Tian Nan Martial Arts Hall, the Kang City Commerce Alliance, and others were all stirred by the news. Countless people were now fixated on the duel.

"Heh, as soon as Lin Qingxuan and Ye Lingyue left, the kid became everyone’s target. He was nearly framed and thrown in jail not long ago, only escaping by the skin of his teeth. Now, he’s caught the attention of the Liang Family. Does he really think he can take on the Five Independents?"

"The Liang Family is probably seeking revenge for their second young master. This kid is finished!"

"Let’s just sit back and enjoy the show!"

Some hoped to see Yang Qi make a fool of himself, while others were genuinely worried for him. As the challenger, however, Yang Qi himself paid it little mind.

A Cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment was roughly equivalent to a Great Grandmaster at the minor achievement level. The key difference was that Cultivators and Martial Artists belonged to two completely different systems. An early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator could easily defeat a Great Grandmaster of minor achievement, let alone an entry-level one. He had nothing to worry about.

All he had to do now was prepare for the battle in seven days and consolidate his current Cultivation. There were two ways to do that: fighting and healing. Treating difficult and complex illnesses, in particular, was a tremendous aid to his Cultivation, providing outstanding results for consolidation.

After making arrangements for the Wolf King and the others, Yang Qi went to work at his clinic. His National Medicine Clinic had also hired a resident doctor—none other than Liu Changsheng, the president of the Kang City branch of the National Medicine Association. With him there, ordinary illnesses were no issue. Yang Qi hadn’t been to the clinic in a long time; between handling company affairs and his own Cultivation, he had largely neglected it. But the moment he arrived today, he was intercepted by Liu Changsheng.

"Mr. Xiao, you’re finally here!" Liu Changsheng said with a wry smile. "There’s a favor I must ask of you!"

"A difficult and complicated case?" Yang Qi’s interest was piqued. He needed precisely such cases to help consolidate his Cultivation, so he was naturally pleased.

"Yes!" Liu Changsheng nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!" Yang Qi urged.

Liu Changsheng was stunned. He had been worried he wouldn’t be able to persuade Yang Qi, so he was surprised by how proactive he was. This was excellent news.

Once they were in the car, with Liu Yu driving, Liu Changsheng sat in the back with Yang Qi and explained the situation. It turned out that Liu Changsheng had a dear old friend with whom he had a life-and-death bond. This friend had an only daughter who had been married for over a decade, yet she had been unable to conceive a child.

Although her husband’s family never complained out loud, that was only out of respect for his old friend’s power and influence. Who knew what they truly thought in private? After all, as the saying goes, "Of the three unfilial acts, the worst is to have no heir." They naturally wanted to carry on their lineage.

Liu Changsheng’s old friend had used his connections to consult numerous doctors, but all to no avail; none could even determine the cause of the problem. Completely at a loss, Liu Changsheng had also tried his hand at it but was unable to diagnose the issue. Now that he knew Yang Qi, he naturally wanted to ask for his help.

"Your medical skills are quite good," Yang Qi said with a frown. "If even you can’t find the source of the problem, then it’s likely not a purely medical issue."

"That’s what I was thinking as well. That’s why I came to you, Mr. Yang. You absolutely must help," Liu Changsheng pleaded.

"A healer’s duty is to save lives and heal the injured," Yang Qi said with a smile. "Of course, I’ll help."

Liu Changsheng froze for a moment. Hasn’t he always cared more about money? Why is he so agreeable all of a sudden? He simply couldn’t fathom how much Yang Qi stood to gain from treating these kinds of difficult cases, which is why he was so surprised.

The car entered a sprawling estate. It was vast, in no way inferior to the City Lord Mansion. This surprised Yang Qi. This friend of Liu Changsheng’s is really something. He must be either incredibly wealthy or powerful to live here.

"What does your friend do?" Yang Qi asked curiously.

"He’s in finance," Liu Changsheng replied. "His name is Fang Neng. In terms of wealth in Kang City, he’s second only to the richest man."

"I see." Yang Qi didn’t press for more details.

The car had already driven deep into the estate and was about to pull into the parking lot. Suddenly, a Mercedes-Benz came speeding from the side, drifting wildly before screeching to a halt in the exact parking space they had been aiming for.

Yang Qi was speechless. There were so many empty spots. Why did they have to snatch this one? What if they had crashed?

Just as he was about to speak, the Mercedes’ door flew open. A young man stormed over, slapped the hood of Liu Changsheng’s car, and yelled, "Are you blind?! Didn’t you see we were parking here? And you still tried to squeeze in! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

The youth was incredibly arrogant and utterly unreasonable.

Liu Yu couldn’t take it and shot back, "You’re the one who almost hit us, and you have the nerve to act like you’re in the right?"

A fight seemed imminent. Just then, a man who looked to be about Liu Changsheng’s age walked out of the house. He appeared to be in his fifties, with a sturdy, healthy build. If Yang Qi wasn’t mistaken, this had to be Fang Neng.

Fang Neng didn’t even glance at Liu Changsheng. Instead, he hurried over to the Mercedes-Benz and said respectfully, "Divine Doctor Ding, you’ve finally come! You’ve been traveling for years; we couldn’t find you anywhere. With you here, my daughter’s illness is as good as cured!"
