I Just Wanted To Live but I Somehow Became Better Than the Protagonist

I Just Want to Live a Good Life but I Surpassed the Protagonist – 33 Where Did the Firewood Stick Go?

At the same time, in Chengying City, on a bustling commercial street.

A young man in plain clothes, who looked ordinary except for his bright eyes, was choosing supplies.

His name was Long Tian. He was not particularly noticeable in a crowd, but he was the man Ye Yong least wanted to be involved with!

Although Long Tian had missed out on the spirit energy grass and the blood of the savage snake more than a month ago, he had still reached the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage with the help of the jade pendant’s magical space and by absorbing those 100 low-grade spirit stones.

Reaching the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 18 was still quite remarkable. However, recently, there was a rising star named Qin Shimeng who had reached the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 17, making Long Tian, who had been somewhat proud of himself, became much more humble.

There were always people better than him.

However, Long Tian couldn’t figure out how Qin Shimeng had managed to break through from the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage to the tenth level in just two months. Even if she had taken drugs, it wouldn’t have been that fast .

Could it be that she also had a magical jade pendant space?

At this moment, the jade pendant that Long Tian was wearing emitted a faint light, and then an old voice rang out in his mind.

‘It’s unlikely. Spaces where time flows abnormally are very rare in this lower realm. I’ve also told you that the jade pendant you’re wearing now fell from the fairy world…’

‘Then how did she…’

‘Perhaps she was very talented to begin with, and then she obtained some kind of fortuitous encounter or heart technique. It’s only been two months since she reached the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment stage. At your lower realm’s turtle-like cultivation speed, even a baby just born in the fairy world would be faster.’

Long Tian had heard this many times and didn’t mind it. ‘I’ve already cultivated the Primordial Chaos Divine Technique you gave me to the seventh level, but why can’t I use the Primordial Chaos energy you mentioned?’

‘Although you have a Primordial Chaos Physique, you’re still a long way from having a Primordial Chaos Divine Physique. Don’t be anxious. When you find something that can strengthen your physique, you’ll naturally be able to use it. For now, you should consider how to obtain more resources in the Tianluo Sect.’

That’s right, Long Tian had come out to buy supplies today in preparation for joining the Tianluo Sect tomorrow.

Actually, with the remnant soul of the fallen immortal in his possession, no one was qualified to teach Long Tian how to cultivate. The problem was that Long Tian had nothing and was a penniless casual cultivator. As his realm increased, he needed more and more resources. He had to join a sect in order to obtain enough resources.

And sects had places like the Contribution Hall. As long as one went out to do missions and hunt monsters, they could accumulate contribution points and exchange them for additional resources.

Because the Tianluo Sect is a top sect, a righteous sect with abundant resources, Long Tian chose to join it.

With his current 18-year-old Foundation Establishment 6th Layer, he could become a first-class disciple of the Tianluo Sect.

However, Long Tian didn’t want to be so conspicuous. He only planned to show his Foundation Establishment 3rd Layer strength tomorrow and become an ordinary disciple. After all, he had no background, and if he showed too much talent, he could easily die young. Long Tian still understood the principle of keeping a low profile and developing in secret.

“Unfortunately, I’ve absorbed all the low-grade spirit crystals. Otherwise, I could buy myself a Yellow Grade 7th Rank weapon.” Long Tian looked at the cultivator weapon store in the distance, sighed, and walked into a mortal store named [Huanzhu Pavilion].

“Welcome, look around.” As soon as the owner saw Long Tian’s attire, he felt that he was a guy with no money, so he wasn’t very enthusiastic and let Long Tian look around by himself.

Long Tian took a turn and picked out a Mortal Grade 5th Rank weapon.

After spending 100 gold, Long Tian was about to leave when the old immortal in the jade pendant suddenly exclaimed, ‘Huh?’

‘What’s wrong?’

‘It seems like there was once a Divine Weapon here.’

‘Impossible, this is just a place that sells mortal weapons.’

‘Although it’s very faint, I did sense a trace of Divine Weapon aura. If it’s not that a Divine Weapon was placed here tens of thousands of years ago, then it’s that this Divine Weapon has lost its weapon soul and was damaged, causing it to be downgraded, and it was here recently.’

Long Tian didn’t doubt the old immortal’s judgment. How powerful was a Divine Weapon? Even if it had been placed here tens of thousands of years ago, its aura would remain and not dissipate for a long time. And if it was the other possibility that the old immortal mentioned, then Long Tian was eager to obtain this item that was once a Divine Weapon.

“Boss.” Long Tian pointed to the inconspicuous corner. “Was there something there before?”

The boss glanced at it. “Oh right, a fire stick passed down from my ancestors.”

“Where did that fire stick go?”

“I gave it away some time ago.”

“Gave, gave it away!?” Long Tian was shocked. That was a former Divine Weapon! Even if it didn’t have a weapon soul and had been damaged and downgraded, there was still hope for it to regain its peak!

“Who did you give it to!?”

“None of your business.” The boss rolled his eyes at Long Tian. Do you think I’ll tell you that I gave it to a cultivator with limitless potential? Look at yourself. You still want to mind my business.

Seeing that the boss didn’t want to talk to him, Long Tian sighed and left the store.

He had missed a treasure! If only he had come to this store earlier!

However, Long Tian wasn’t the type to complain. If he didn’t have it, then he didn’t have it. What he couldn’t get was not fated to be his. If it was fated, he would naturally have it.

After buying the weapon, Long Tian went to a pharmacy to buy herbs. When he arrived at the Tianluo Sect, it would be convenient for him to refine some useful medicinal pills.

——Ye Family

The news of Ye Mao being beaten up quickly spread throughout the family.

As for who spread it, of course it couldn’t be Ye Yong or Ye Mao.

This had to do with those lackeys.

After all, lackeys naturally followed whoever benefited them.

As a former genius, Ye Yong was already very intimidating. Now that his cultivation hadn’t been abandoned, and he was still a genius, those lackeys would definitely praise him vigorously.

What if Ye Yong heard them one day and gave them a reward because he was happy?

“Ye Yong wasn’t abolished? Impossible, right?”

“Didn’t the elders personally confirm that he self-deposed his cultivation?”

Many of the younger generation of the Ye Family were stunned when they heard this news.

The elders also received the news and quickly appeared at Ye Yong’s residence.

Ye Yong was having lunch with the adorable Wu Xue. When so many elders came over, Wu Xue was so scared that she quickly hid in the room.

“Elders, what’s the matter?” Ye Yong asked knowingly. However, he still felt strange. He had thought that it would take some time for the news to spread, and the elders wouldn’t know until the evening. But who would have thought that they would come so quickly?

“Good boy! Have you recovered your cultivation!”

“But why can’t we sense it?”

The elders looked Ye Yong up and down, puzzled.

“Oh, that’s because I learned a Qi Concealing Technique some time ago. In fact, I didn’t abolish my cultivation. At that time, I wanted to test the Qi Concealing Technique and see if it was effective. As a result, more than two months have passed, and no one has discovered it.”

Ye Yong would never admit that he had cultivated again. Cultivating from the seventh layer of Qi Foundation to the eleventh layer of Qi Foundation in two months? It would sound terrifying if he said it out loud.

“You little brat! How dare you make fun of us!” The elders scolded him, but their faces were full of joy.

It was good that Ye Yong was not useless. He was still the genius of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although his limelight had been completely stolen by Qin Shimeng, at least the Ye family still had an 18-year-old boy who had cultivated to the seventh layer of Qi Foundation! He was not too far behind.

“It’s not that this junior intentionally made fun of you. I just wanted to figure out the effect of this Closed Breath Technique.”

“What level of Closed Breath Technique did you cultivate?”

“Please forgive me for not being able to say it. This junior accidentally discovered it while searching for antiques some time ago. The senior who left this Closed Breath Technique did not allow outsiders to know about it. He only allowed the person who found it to cultivate it.”

Cultivators had many taboos, and Ye Yong was born in a villainous family. The villainous elders doted on him, so naturally, they did not force him to ask.

The elders took out healing elixirs one after another, indicating that Ye Yong should adjust himself today and display his best strength in front of the people from Tianluo Sect tomorrow.

Without staying any longer, after confirming that Ye Yong still had his cultivation, and giving him the healing elixirs, the elders left one after another.

“The villainous family is really good.” Ye Yong respectfully sent them off at the door, looking at the elders who were going far away in the sky, he could not help but sigh.
