My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 323: Making Money in a New Way!

"Alright, I'll think of something!" Li Qingyan replied. She was also eager to meet the mysterious boss. I've been at the company for a while now, and I've never even met him. How embarrassing. Only then did Song Ruize turn and leave.

Just then, a call came into Yang Qi's office. It was from Lei Qingtian.

"Elder Lei, is something the matter?" Yang Qi asked.

Lei Qingtian laughed. "Mr. Yang, have you heard about the Elixir Medicine Conference?"

"I've heard of it, and I plan to give it a try," Yang Qi said.

"That's wonderful! With you participating, this year's Elixir Medicine Conference will be raised to a whole new level of prestige. The conference is organized by our Lei Family, which means I'm the one in charge. Normally, contestants have to register and go through a qualification review at their local Elixir Medicine Association. But you won't need to do any of that. I'll register you personally and make you a seeded contestant," Lei Qingtian said excitedly.

"You called just to tell me this?" Yang Qi asked.

"Yes! With your skill level, there's no need for you to participate in the preliminary or semifinal rounds; you can go straight to the finals! As you know, National Medicine is very popular in Dragon Country. This is especially true in recent years with the emergence of Martial Artists and the exploration of various ruins. We've discovered many ancient formulas, propelling National Medicine to new heights. In the past, Western medicine completely overshadowed our Eastern traditions, but now they are advancing side-by-side. In some areas, the East has even surpassed the West. We're organizing this Elixir Medicine Conference to further prosper the elixir culture of Jingnan Prefecture. We hope to discover more talent in this field through this event," Lei Qingtian said, growing more excited as he spoke.

"So, what level of skill should I display?" Yang Qi asked, feeling a bit troubled. If I reveal a skill level that's too high, people will think I'm some kind of monster. That would be going too far.

"Well, that Body Tempering Pill you first created was quite good. A pill like that is definitely worthy of winning the championship," Lei Qingtian said.

"Just that one?" Yang Qi laughed. "I can refine those with my eyes closed now. Wouldn't that be a bit too shabby? What about the Lesser Restoration Pill?"

"The Lesser Restoration Pill is far too miraculous. That thing could win the championship at the Dragon Country Elixir Medicine Conference," Lei Qingtian said. "But it would be fine, I suppose. You can just treat it as a performance."

"I'll think about it," Yang Qi said, somewhat speechless. He had seen people demand high-level alchemy, but he had never seen anyone ask for a lower level of skill.

He didn't actually realize that in this country, a true elixir hadn't appeared in a very long time. Even when one did, it would be quickly snatched up by one of the major families, and most people would never even lay eyes on it. He simply didn't understand how precious elixirs truly were.

"By the way, when does the Elixir Medicine Conference start?" Yang Qi asked.

"In one week," Lei Qingtian said. "Mr. Yang, you should start preparing soon. Please come to Thunder City ahead of time. I will host you there."

"Alright, I understand," Yang Qi nodded.

Shortly after ending the call, Yang Qi left the company. He had only come in today to see Song Ruize, and the encounter had just left him fuming. He was just about to go home when he received a call from Yao Ran, who said there was an incident and asked him to come take a look.

Yao Ran was the president of the Kang City Elixir Medicine Association, and Song Ruize had him completely under his thumb. Yang Qi, meanwhile, had become the de facto Stabilizing Force of Kang City. If trouble brewed anywhere, he had to be notified first. He would go if he felt it was necessary; otherwise, he wouldn't bother.

The matter Yao Ran spoke of was related to Song Ruize. Over the phone, Yao Ran was complaining bitterly, explaining that Song Ruize had come to the Kang City Elixir Medicine Association. He had brazenly set up a table to solicit bribes, refusing to issue qualified inspection reports to any company that didn't pay up. Yao Ran had always despised such things, but he was powerless to stop Song Ruize.

That bastard. I don't care what havoc he wreaks elsewhere, but to come and stir up trouble in Kang City... he must have a death wish!

Furious, Yang Qi immediately drove to the Kang City Elixir Medicine Association.

It was quite a scene. A long line of people snaked through the Elixir Medicine Association. Song Ruize sat there smugly while his secretary bustled about, serving tea and collecting money. The man was completely out of his mind to dare to do something like this so openly. He had absolutely no regard for the law.

At that moment, a representative from a pharmaceutical company was arguing fervently.

"President Song, you can't do this! Our company's products have already passed inspection and are about to go on the market. What is the meaning of this roadblock?" The man was young and, much like a younger Yang Qi, loathed evil. He simply could not accept or tolerate such a practice.

"Cut the crap. If you spent less time talking and more time getting your 'payment' in order, you'd have your report by now. You really don't get it, do you? Fresh out of university, are you?" the secretary said irritably.

"That's right, I just graduated from university and started working," the young man said righteously. "What you're doing is illegal and immoral! Be careful, or I'll sue you!"

"Heh, sue me?" Song Ruize sneered. "Another young man threatened to sue me once. In the end, not only did his company go bankrupt, but now he lives off the charity of others. Young man, this society isn't about fighting and killing. You have to learn about the importance of reciprocity. If you don't get it, go back and study up!"

"Get lost!" the secretary cursed.

"I'm not leaving today! I refuse to believe there's no place for reason left in this world!" The young man was stubborn and simply would not budge.

"You bastard, I think you're asking for it!"

Suddenly, a group of people pushed forward from the back of the line. Their leader was clearly a man of wealth and influence, and he was flanked by a group that even included trained fighters. He strode forward, shoved the young man to the ground, and snarled, "How dare you offend President Song! You must have a death wish!"

"I know who you are. You're Wang Ba! Your company is nothing but a small-time workshop, and your products have failed inspection multiple times! Are you really trying to bribe your way to a passing grade?" the young man said, looking up at the imposing middle-aged man before him.

"Heh, so you recognize me?" Wang Ba laughed. "That's right, I'm here to spend money today, so what about it?"

As he spoke, he took out a card and handed it to Song Ruize. "President Song, there's absolutely nothing wrong with our products. It's that fellow Yao Ran who has a grudge against us and keeps holding us back. You must help us get justice."

"And how much is this?" Song Ruize asked indifferently.

"A million!" Wang Ba said with a smile.

"Ahem, very good. You're quite sensible. I'll accept this card," Song Ruize smiled, handing a document to Wang Ba. "Here is your inspection report. Take it." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

However, before Wang Ba could take it, the document was snatched by someone else—Yang Qi.

He simply couldn't stand by and watch any longer.
