My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 14 The Wonders of the Body Tempering Pill

Assistant Qin continued, "Besides, Yang Qi’s reputation is already ruined. It doesn’t matter to me whether he was actually wronged or not, but that’s the rumor spreading everywhere. I’m afraid it will be detrimental to the reputation of our Lin Family of Jingzhou."

"Is that so important? Since when has our Lin Family needed to care what others think?" Lin Qingxuan shot Assistant Qin a cold glance. "You’ve been talking far too much lately. As my assistant, good judgment should be your first priority. I’m beginning to think you’re no longer suitable for this position."

"Miss!" Assistant Qin’s expression turned grim and apprehensive.

"I know you dislike Yang Qi and look down on him," she continued, "but he built a business miracle from scratch in his twenties! And from what I can tell, he didn’t even graduate from a prestigious university. What about you? You have a Ph.D. from Jingzhou University, yet you can’t even seem to grasp how to be a proper assistant.

"When judging someone, you can’t just look at the surface. Calm down and observe carefully. I guarantee you, Yang Qi will succeed. I want everyone in Kang City—no, everyone in the entire Jingnan Prefecture—to understand that Yang Qi was framed! They will all see how outstanding he truly is! I, Lin Qingxuan, intend to partner with him!" Lin Qingxuan stated with utmost seriousness.

"Miss, in helping him, you are also thrusting him into the eye of the storm!" Assistant Qin frowned. "A tree may prefer stillness, but the wind will not cease. If he stands out too much, he truly will be blown down."

"If he fails, it will only prove that I misjudged him," Lin Qingxuan said. "However, I will give him a choice. Whether he wants to live a quiet life or ride the winds and waves will be his decision!"

...

In his room, Yang Qi heaved a long sigh of relief. He had successfully refined the Body Tempering Pills. Although he had only managed to create three, it was still an excellent result. He noticed that the more Elixirs he refined, the higher his success rate became.

Yang Qi consumed a Body Tempering Pill. A surge of power filled his Primordial Spirit. Suddenly, an intense pain shot through every cell in his body. He clenched his teeth and endured it, pushing through the ordeal. It felt as if every cell in his body had been reforged.

An hour later, he clenched his fists, feeling the terrifying power they now contained. A single punch now held at least the strength of a bull—and a particularly powerful one at that. It would be enough to kill an ordinary person with one blow.

I’ll save the other two for later!

Yang Qi got up and took a shower. After taking the Body Tempering Pill, his body had expelled a host of impurities, leaving him feeling incredibly grimy and uncomfortable. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

With this thought, he left his room and found Lin Qingxuan, who was idly browsing the news. He mused, Maybe I should give one to Miss Qingxuan. She’s always been frail. If she takes a Body Tempering Pill and I guide the process, her constitution will improve significantly, even if she doesn’t know anything about Immortal Cultivation!

"Yang Qi, you’re here! Come, sit down!" Lin Qingxuan’s warm welcome left Yang Qi feeling quite flattered; to be honest, he couldn’t help but feel a little inferior in her presence.

"Miss Qingxuan, I will definitely repay the one hundred million you lent me, though it might take some time," Yang Qi said.

"It’s fine, I believe in you!" Lin Qingxuan said with a smile.

"I don’t even have that much confidence in myself. You’re certainly optimistic, Miss Qingxuan," Yang Qi said with a wry smile.

She blinked, a determined and serious light shining in her dark eyes. "It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. I, for one, believe your future will be extraordinary. By the way, I want you to participate in our Lin Family’s bidding conference in Kang City. The bid is for a new ’anti-aging’ drug. I know you’ve done research in this field. Do you have the confidence? Do you dare to go?"

Yang Qi hesitated for a moment before nodding firmly. "I’ll go!"

"Think this through carefully," she said with a smile. "Accepting my invitation could make you a star in Kang City, maybe even the entire Jingnan Prefecture. Because of me, others might not dare to harm you. But at the same time, you’ll also be subjected to endless slander and attacks. Some people might even see you as a rival for my affection. Can you handle that?"

"I can stand defiant against the scorn of a thousand accusers. I’ve faced it before, so it’s nothing to worry about!" Yang Qi clenched his teeth. "I should be thanking you, Miss Qingxuan, for thinking so highly of me. I definitely won’t let you down!"

Betrayed by his wife and betrayed by his subordinates, Yang Qi found it difficult to trust anyone anymore. But today, he could genuinely feel Lin Qingxuan’s trust in him. He swore he would not let this girl down.

"Here, you should eat this." Yang Qi took out an exquisite box containing a Body Tempering Pill.

"Okay!" Lin Qingxuan popped it into her mouth without a second thought.

"Ah?" Yang Qi was stunned. "You ate it without even asking what it is?"

"Was I not supposed to?"

"You can!"

"Then it’s fine, right? Ah! Why am I suddenly in so much pain?" Lin Qingxuan’s expression changed abruptly.

It’s a Body Tempering Pill... Never mind, I should help ease her pain first! Yang Qi placed his hand on Lin Qingxuan’s back. Even through her clothes, the contact made him feel a little anxious. He infused Spiritual Energy into her body, and her pain quickly began to subside.

Yang Qi couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. If only he had someone to help him like this.

With his assistance, Lin Qingxuan assimilated the Body Tempering Pill in just half an hour. However, the effects were different from Yang Qi’s enhancement. The Elixir’s power was guided to strengthen her internal organs, blood vessels, and bones. Although her physical strength didn’t change, her vitality became far more vigorous.

"What is this miraculous Elixir? I feel like I’ve been completely rejuvenated!" Lin Qingxuan exclaimed in astonishment. "Even my nearsightedness is gone!"

She had been wearing contact lenses, but now her vision through them was blurry. When she took them out, she found the world was perfectly sharp and clear—even more so than before she had become nearsighted.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now." Yang Qi stood up, ready to depart.

He felt his emotions stirring in a strange way. He had thought he would never fall in love again, but the more time he spent with Lin Qingxuan, the more he discovered how wonderful she was. He was starting to realize he might genuinely be falling for her, and not just because of their one-night stand. This girl was the young lady of the Lin Family, one of Jingzhou’s most powerful clans, yet she didn’t have a hint of arrogance and treated him with such kindness. But he was a divorced man. Lin Qingxuan, on the other hand, was not only a wealthy heiress but also a queen of the business world. Was he even worthy? He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts as he turned to leave.

"Wait! I’m going to take a quick shower, and then let’s go out for a bite to eat!" Lin Qingxuan’s voice called out.

Yang Qi agreed instinctively. Before he could change his mind, however, Lin Qingxuan had already bounded away like a cheerful sprite. He gave a bitter chuckle and sat back down.

Just then, Assistant Qin walked over and said coldly, "Do you have any self-awareness at all? You’d better stay away from our Miss. You’re nothing but a discarded swindler. What right do you have to pursue her? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re scheming. Trying to climb the social ladder by clinging to the Lin Family?"
