Just Wanting to Live Well, Yet Surpassing the Protagonist – 09 Outbreak of Illness

If it were an ordinary cultivator, taking several top-grade Spirit Gathering Pills at once would definitely result in a large amount of medicinal power being lost, with limited absorption. Ye Yong’s divine body can almost absorb without loss. It just takes some time to convert, and he doesn’t even need to buy the same auxiliary technique as the protagonist, [Return to Gathering Spirit], because the protagonist is still only a Chaotic Saint Body, not a Divine Body, so he needs the help of an auxiliary technique.

Ye Yong activated his heart technique, and the medicinal pills in his abdomen began to transform into spiritual power that spread throughout his body. As his spiritual power increased, the impact on his spiritual veins began to expand.

Half an hour later, there was a roar in his body, and Ye Yong finally broke through to the thirteenth level of Foundation Establishment.

Four days! Do you know how he got through these four days?

Basically, every hour, he would stuff a handful of pills into his mouth. Not to mention that his stomach was uncomfortable, the key was the taste…

Is it smelly? No, it’s very fragrant. Is it unpalatable? In fact, the taste is quite sweet, quite good.

No matter how delicious the food is, eating it continuously and non-stop will turn into a nightmare.

But the thirteenth level is still seven levels away from the twentieth level.

“Others can’t break through because of insufficient resources or because they are stuck at a bottleneck. I don’t have a bottleneck, and I have enough resources, but it’s still so difficult and torturous to break through.” No, Ye Yong couldn’t take it anymore. He really couldn’t continue to take drugs and cultivate today.

Pushing open the door and walking out of the room, Ye Yong planned to find a little cutie to bully to relieve the pressure.

Usually, when Wu Xue heard the sound of him opening the door, she would run over immediately, but this time, she didn’t.

“Xiao Xue?” Ye Yong called out, but the room was very quiet.

He walked around the room, but he couldn’t find her. He didn’t know where she had gone.

On Echo Peak, Ye Yong was not afraid that she would get into trouble. With Wu Xue’s personality, it was impossible for her to run outside of Echo Peak.

Forget it, let’s make myself something delicious.

Although Ye Yong was very full, he just wanted to eat something else to heal his injured taste buds.

After buying a few dessert spirit food recipes and the corresponding ingredients from the store, Ye Yong walked to the pond in the yard to feed the fish.

There were several golden carps in the pond. Ye Yong was worried that Wu Xue would be too bored, so he asked Yi Xin to buy them.

These golden carps were spirit beasts, about the second level of Qi Refining, but they were completely useless in battle. They couldn’t even defeat mortals and were purely ornamental spirit beasts. However, their appearance was indeed very beautiful. Their fins were very long, golden red, and slightly transparent, giving them a kind of ethereal and dreamlike beauty.

Looking at the golden carps swimming around, Ye Yong suddenly thought of real dragons for some reason.

Real dragons were very high-level existences in the New Emperor’s World. Although none of the current real dragons had divine beast divine status, several would appear with activated divine status over time. Unfortunately, they were all male. Even their descendants, the talented ones with roles in the novel, were male. There were no female dragon emperors, which was disappointing.

However, dragons usually symbolize males, while phoenixes…

With nothing better to do, Ye Yong thought of many novel plots and characters.

At this moment, a golden carp jumped out of the water, as if to say, “Don’t just stand there. Feed me quickly.”

Ye Yong came back to his senses and threw some feed into the water. They happily scrambled to eat it.

Fish could also turn into dragons, right?

There was a saying called “fish leaping over the dragon gate.” As long as one crossed the dragon gate, not only fish but even creatures like snakes could directly upgrade.

Ye Yong searched the system store and found that there were indeed items that could upgrade beast status. There were also higher-level ones that could directly turn fish into dragons, but the price made Ye Yong lose interest in continuing to look.

After all, even if he looked at them, he wouldn’t be able to afford them. It would only make him feel unnecessarily uncomfortable and poor.

The cooking system gave a notification that the preparation was complete, and Ye Yong took out the dessert.

Immediately, three different fragrances spread through the yard.

The golden carps in the pond, which had been eating feed, all stopped and looked at the spirit food in Ye Yong’s hand. Their mouths opened and closed, and their tail fins kept splashing water. Their intentions were very clear.

It could only be said that spirit food was worthy of its name. Ordinary mortal desserts couldn’t compare at all. Even the fish in the water were attracted to it.

Water Ripple Cake, Snow Cherry Cake, Jade Crisp Pastry.

These three top-grade first-level spirit food desserts actually didn’t have much difference in effect compared to several top-grade Spirit Gathering Pills, but the key was that their tastes were varied, and they could be enjoyed as food. What about medicinal pills? They were the essence of concentrated spirit herbs. They were convenient, but their taste never changed. Plus, eating several pills in a row… Heh.

Although the other party was a fish with not much intelligence, it didn’t stop Ye Yong from deliberately showing off in front of them.

“Mmm~ It melts in your mouth. This Jade Crisp Pastry is so crispy and flaky. Look at this Water Ripple Cake, it’s so translucent…”

The golden carps’ mouths were wide open. They didn’t understand what Ye Yong was saying, but they knew that he was eating something delicious.

Please be kind and give me some.

Ye Yong was also in so much pain from taking the elixirs, looking at the golden carps wanting to eat but not being able to eat, he gradually became happy and continued to sprinkle feed into the pond: “Eat it, why aren’t you eating?”

The golden carps kept staring at the dessert in Ye Yong’s hand, until Ye Yong finished the last piece, they continued to swim, eating the feed as if it wasn’t as fragrant as before, and they didn’t fight for food anymore.

“Comfortable.” Ye Yong burped, a man’s happiness is sometimes that simple.

It’s a pity that fish are not pets that can be touched. If it were replaced with cats, dogs, or foxes, and they acted coquettishly in front of him, Ye Yong would definitely give them anything… Ke Ningyan, you must never become a demon.

Ye Yong prayed silently. He didn’t plan to get a fluffy pet to raise for the time being. He could tease Xiao Xue, the daily cutie, and wait until he successfully abducted Ke Ningyan in the future. With a maid and a fox pet, this life would be as beautiful as it could be.

Thinking of this, Ye Yong was in a good mood. He took out his flute and sat in the pavilion to play.

Apart from pretending to be awesome in front of others, he would never take the initiative to play the flute, because he was not a flute music lover in the first place. He chose the flute only because it was convenient to match Mu Qingyin’s zither music .

After playing a piece, the flute sound was too gentle, it was difficult to express his surging mood of fantasizing about having a fox pet, so Ye Yong searched for strange musical instruments in the store and found modern mainstream musical instruments such as piano and guitar .

Suddenly, he had an idea. If he gave Mu Qingyin modern musical instruments, would her musical path break through?

After all, many of the settings in the world of Xin Di Zhong Di are similar to ancient China, and the popular musical instruments are just a few. Western musical instruments such as piano and guitar do not exist here.

By coming into contact with new musical instruments, Mu Qingyin is very likely to realize a new path. At that time, she might not even need to go to the ancient ruins, and she could directly become a painting and zither fairy, which could avoid many risks.

Shaking his head, Ye Yong finally suppressed his curiosity. First of all, it would be very strange to take out a completely new musical instrument rashly. Even if Mu Qingyin didn’t care about its origin, if she really realized a new path and made a big breakthrough, then her future path would no longer be what Ye Yong was familiar with.

He wanted to buy a guitar to play and sing, but considering that the appearance of non-existent things might have a great impact, Ye Yong closed the store a little depressed.

Why am I not the protagonist? If I were the protagonist, I wouldn’t care so much, because the protagonist is the existence that brings change to the world.

Mr. Ye occasionally envied the protagonist’s illness, and it flared up again.
