My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 301 I’ll offer 700 million!

Zhong Yan was taken away by Boss Zhong, and Kang River Villa was gifted to Yang Qi for free. With that, the matter was considered closed.

Yang Qi and Zhao Yuman prepared themselves and headed to the auction venue. The hall was spacious, with a wide variety of drinks and snacks available for the guests. After all, those attending the auction were influential figures, so the organizers dared not be negligent.

As Yang Qi and Zhao Yuman sat drinking tea, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Pretty lady, care to share a drink?"

They looked up to see a group of a dozen or so people standing before them. The leader was a young man in his twenties holding a glass of red wine. He looked at Zhao Yuman with a gentlemanly air, completely ignoring Yang Qi who was right beside her.

The onlookers shook their heads with wry smiles. Another fool had arrived, daring to covet Yang Qi's woman right after Zhong Yan had been dealt with.

"Sorry, I already have a boyfriend," Zhao Yuman said, shaking her head. She never bothered with people she wasn't interested in.

"Having a boyfriend doesn't matter," the man insisted. "We can still get to know each other and fall in love. By the way, allow me to introduce myself. I am Cao Xingyun from the Cao Family of Thunder City!" As he spoke, he offered Zhao Yuman a business card.

The moment he said his name, however, Yang Qi's brow furrowed. Cao Xingyun? Cao Xingjian? With names so similar, could they be related?

The surrounding crowd grew excited, their whispers filling the air. They recognized him as Cao Xingyun, the third young master of the Thunder City Cao Family. People noted that the Cao Family was nearly as powerful as the City Lord Mansion and speculated they must be after a significant treasure. Someone else added that Cao Xingyun's older brother, Cao Xingjian, was a disciple of the renowned Grandmaster Lei, a connection that allowed the Cao Family to flourish under the Thunder Sect's influence. Despite not being one of the four major sects and six great families, their power was undeniable, and many felt they stood no chance of competing for any item Cao Xingyun desired.

Listening to their discussion, Yang Qi put the pieces together. Cao Xingyun was indeed Cao Xingjian's younger brother and the third young master of the Cao Family from Thunder City. What a small world. It's full of adversaries.

Cao Xingyun, however, failed to notice the cold smirk on Yang Qi's face. He was far too busy feeling smug. The fear he inspired in the crowd gave him a sense of achievement, making him feel like a sovereign gracing them with his presence. "Miss, now do you understand my status?" he said, looking at Zhao Yuman triumphantly. "You won't lose out by being friends with me!"

The waters of Kang City must be special to nurture such beauties. To think I'd encounter a stunner like Zhao Yuman on my first visit... That poise! That face! That figure! She's more outstanding than countless female celebrities! He couldn't care less if she had a boyfriend. So what if she was married?

"Not interested," Zhao Yuman said with a frown. She detested brats like him who relied on their family background to act recklessly.

Seeing Cao Xingyun about to touch her, Yang Qi slapped his hand away. "Did you hear that? My sister is not interested in you!"

"Kid, mind your own business!" Cao Xingyun said coldly.

Suddenly, a loud and domineering voice rang out. "Cao Xingyun, who gave you the audacity to cause trouble here?"

Cao Xingyun turned and saw it was Lei Yingying. The Lei Family was the strongest among the four sects and six great families. Even with the backing of the Thunder Sect, his Cao Family was no match for them. "Miss Yingying, you're here too!" he said awkwardly. "I was just teaching a nosy brat a lesson."

"The 'nosy brat' you're talking about is my friend," Lei Yingying stated coldly.

What! Cao Xingyun glanced at Yang Qi, his reluctance obvious. But with Lei Yingying present, he knew he had to retreat. "Miss Yingying, my apologies. I wasn't aware of your connection. I'll take my leave now!" He bowed and quickly led his people away.

"Mr. Yang, I've heard about your incredible feat!" Lei Yingying said, looking at Yang Qi with excitement. "Defeating Cao Xingjian in a single move stunned all of Kang City! No one should dare to trouble you here anymore." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"It was a minor matter, not worth boasting about. There are plenty of people in this world stronger than me," Yang Qi said, shaking his head. "But what about you? Why have you come back to Kang City?"

"For the same reason as you: to bid on some treasures. I heard there are a lot of good items that were confiscated from the Kang City Trade Alliance this time," Lei Yingying said. "By the way, Mr. Yang, do you have enough money?"

"Is one hundred million Dragon Coins enough?" Yang Qi asked.

"That's really not enough," Lei Yingying replied with a wry smile. "This auction is quite special. Besides the antiques and paintings that ordinary people like, there are also many treasures for Martial Artists, which are relatively expensive. If you see something you want, you probably couldn't get it for less than several hundred million. How about I lend you one billion?"

"No hurry. If I'm really short on money, it won't be too late to borrow then. Besides, there might not even be anything I want!" Yang Qi's standards were quite high, and it wasn't easy to find something suitable for him.

Soon, the auction began. Yang Qi had no interest in the initial phase and only entered when the second stage began, where treasures for Martial Artists were being auctioned. The variety was impressive, with weapons, battle armor, and even Secret Technique Manuals. How interesting.

He looked at many items, but none met his requirements until a certain Secret Book appeared. It was a Body Refining Technique titled the *Vajra Body Refining Technique*!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the grand finale of our auction today!" the auctioneer announced. "The starting bid is one hundred million, with each increment no less than ten million! The Vajra Body Refining Technique is a set of Body Refining Techniques divided into ten levels.

"Upon mastering the First Level, you will possess the Combat Power of a First Rank Great Grandmaster!

"Upon mastering the Second Level, you will be equivalent to a Second Rank Great Grandmaster!

"...and so on. Upon mastering the Tenth Level, you will be equivalent to a Great Grandmaster at Perfection!

"However, I must remind everyone that cultivating the Vajra Body Refining Technique requires very precious materials. Without them, cultivation is impossible. Let the bidding begin!"

"One hundred thirty million!" someone shouted immediately. Such a treasure was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If any family could produce a Great Grandmaster at Perfection, they would be practically invincible.

"Two hundred million!"

"Two hundred fifty million!"

The competition was fierce, and the price quickly soared to four hundred million.

Yang Qi still hadn't placed a bid. Instead, he turned to Zhao Yuman and Lei Yingying. "Lend me all the money you have on you!"

"No problem!" the two women nodded simultaneously.

Zhao Yuman had five hundred million and Lei Yingying had one billion. Adding Yang Qi's one hundred million, they had a total of 1.6 billion. That should be more than enough to secure it.

"Alright, stop dilly-dallying! I bid seven hundred million! Don't even think about competing with me!"

The bidder was, of course, Cao Xingyun. His bid, a sudden jump of three hundred million, shocked the entire hall. Seven hundred million was enough to make many people back down. Furthermore, Cao Xingyun had issued a warning. In Kang City, no one dared to provoke the Cao Family. For a moment, a hush fell over the crowd as no one else dared to make a bid.
