I Just Want to Live a Good Life, but I Surpassed the Protagonist – 70 Unbending and Unyielding

The next morning

As a rumble echoed through his body, Ye Yong broke through the miraculous 11th layer of Foundation Establishment, reaching the 12th layer. Because he had been studying painting techniques during this period, his cultivation had slowed down a little, otherwise he would have broken through a few days ago.

As his spirit veins expanded, the originally full eight spirit veins became like infants, eager to absorb more spiritual energy. The eighth vein in particular, had a significantly greater demand than the previous seven.

“It’s really refreshing when using it, but it’s also really tiring to cultivate it.”

The Body Forging Compendium, Foundation Establishment Compendium, none of them mentioned the eighth spirit vein. Even the “New Emperor of Emperors” never mentioned the eighth spirit vein.

For a development that went beyond the novel, Ye Yong was truly confused.

He asked the system, but the system didn’t know either, it only said that although this world had a similar origin and direction to the plot of the “New Emperor of Emperors”, reality was different from the novel after all, and changes could occur at any time.

Ye Yong thought about it, and it was true.

You must know that when the protagonist cultivated the divine body, he had already become an immortal, which was different from Ye Yong’s starting point. Ye Yong started from scratch, his divine body was not affected by his cultivation, so everything was cultivated based on it, maybe the Primordial Chaos Divine Body that was cultivated from scratch came with the eighth spirit vein and had to break through the twenty minor realms?

He shook his head, no longer worrying about these things, because worrying would not change the reality. Ye Yong swallowed several superb Gathering Spirit Pills, replenishing spiritual power for the spiritual veins, the eighth vein absorbed extremely quickly.

Just like in the world of birds, this guy was definitely the strong child that the bird mother loved the most.

‘Speaking of which, system, why haven’t I seen anything like a lucky draw roulette?’ In recent days, Wu Xue and Qin Shimeng had gradually increased their favorability, Ye Yong now had 110,000 reversal points, which was not a small amount , but it was definitely not a lot either, he wanted to use a little to win big, and see if he could get some kind of top-quality cultivation technique or weapon.

‘This system does not engage in gambling, it is a down-to-earth system.’

‘Then… why haven’t you given me any tasks for so long?’

‘Surviving is the task given to the host.’

Ye Yong was very speechless, not only was there no traditional lucky draw roulette, it also didn’t issue tasks. What kind of system was this, at most it was just a store, right? Ye Yong still wanted to do some tasks to earn points.

‘If the host finds it boring, this system can also assign tasks to the host, but there will be no rewards, there will be punishments, so as to increase the host’s desire and sense of urgency to complete the task.’

‘No, don’t even think about it.’

No rewards but punishments, that’s not how you do odd jobs. If it issued a task to kill the protagonist, how could he possibly complete it?

Moreover, this system was so stingy, it was obviously its own settings that were incomplete, it only had store functions and a favorability list, Ye Yong couldn’t even complain a little in his heart, and it immediately started to complain to the host.

Fortunately, this system didn’t talk much at the moment, otherwise Ye Yong felt that he could easily be driven to high blood pressure by it.

Regaining his senses, Ye Yong found that Wu Xue in his arms had woken up and was staring at his face.

As soon as Ye Yong looked over, Wu Xue looked away hurriedly, her cheeks quickly turning red.

“Did my breakthrough wake you up?” Ye Yong asked.

“I woke up on my own.”

Although Wu Xue didn’t have spirit veins, as a martial artist at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, she could naturally sense the flow of spiritual energy.

Ye Yong’s breakthrough to the 12th layer of Foundation Establishment was no different from a breakthrough to the first level of Crystallization, the flow of spiritual energy was not small, it had woken Wu Xue up, it was just that she couldn’t possibly blame her young master.

“Young Master, you’ve reached Crystallization, right? That’s amazing! The madam and the others will definitely be very happy when they find out that you’re an 18-year-old Crystallization cultivator.”

“Uh…um…” Ye Yong’s expression was a little unnatural.

Wu Xue was very puzzled, she remembered that during the assessment, the Precious Mirror said that the young master was at the tenth layer of Foundation Establishment, so now that he had broken through, he must be at the first layer of Crystallization, right?

“Young Master, you’re not happy about your breakthrough? Is it because you can’t participate in the secret realm next month?”

“No, I’m actually not at Crystallization yet.”

“Then what has Young Master broken through to?”

“The twelfth layer.”

“What twelfth layer?”

“Foundation Establishment.”

“The twelfth layer of Foundation Establishment???”

I’ve never cultivated immortality, young master, don’t lie to me. Wu Xue was really confused, was it her who remembered wrong or what? Shouldn’t it be ten layers at most?

“The body I forged is a bit special, don’t tell anyone else, okay?”

“Okay!” Wu Xue nodded seriously. How could she possibly tell anyone else? The young master was able to say it, it was a sign that he trusted her, she would never live up to this trust: “Then what’s the difference between Young Master and ordinary tenth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivators?”

“I don’t know.” Ye Yong was also very distressed. A twelfth-layer cultivation, where could he find an opponent? The key point was that after fighting, he still couldn’t reveal his strange cultivation.

If it were the protagonist, they wouldn’t have this trouble. They would always encounter villains who wanted to kill them, so they could practice on them and then kill them to silence them.

Wait, kill them to silence them? Ye Yong suddenly thought that he could accept sect missions directly, such as hunting monsters, exterminating demonic cultivators, and so on.

He could both serve the people and test his strength.

It should be known that the 38 Profound Level cultivation methods were still being cultivated. They were all so diligent. How could Ye Yong not use them? How could he live up to their hard work of self-improvement?

Profound Level cultivation methods like these would start to lose their effectiveness at the Golden Core stage and would basically become obsolete at the Nascent Soul stage. This was because after the Nascent Soul stage, whether it was the protagonist or the enemy, almost only Earth Level and Heaven Level cultivation methods would appear.

He opened the auxiliary system and looked at the 38 Profound Level cultivation methods. Starting with the Five Tigers Fist that he had learned first, they had basically all reached the proficiency level and were advancing towards a higher level.

Ye Yong was very moved. Even though he had never practiced them, they had cultivated tirelessly.

Ye Yong had made up his mind! He would go out and do missions! Even if it wasn’t to test the water of the twelfth layer of the Foundation Establishment stage, he would do it simply to respond to the self-cultivation of these cultivation methods.

“Xiaoxue, I’m going to leave the sect for about two days to go on a mission. You stay here and train hard.”

Wu Xue was only at the sixth level of Qi training, and taking her with him might be dangerous.

When Wu Xue heard that Ye Yong was leaving, she immediately panicked: “Young Master, is it because I said something wrong?”

Wu Xue thought that it was because she had asked about the difference between the tenth and twelfth layers of Foundation Establishment that Ye Yong wanted to go out and do missions to test it out through combat. She didn’t know how dangerous it was outside, but thinking about how her parents had never returned, she was afraid that Ye Yong would be the same, and that she would really have no hope of living.

“How could that be? If you want to stay in the sect, you need to have contribution points. Every month, a certain amount of contribution points will be deducted based on your cultivation level. We’ve been here for a week now, so even if we don’t go out now, we’ll definitely have to go out in a while. Didn’t you just mention the secret realm? Wouldn’t it be better if I finished the mission early and came back early to prepare for the secret realm in advance?”

What Ye Yong didn’t say was that as a new disciple, he had a three-month adaptation period. Even if he didn’t do any missions and had zero contribution points, he could still stay in the sect. Moreover, if he just said, “Senior Sister, I’m hungry, contribution points,” there would definitely be a bunch of Senior Sisters rushing to transfer contribution points to him. He could totally be a little fatty who eats to death.

But Ye Yong was an iron-boned man. How could he be willing to eat and die?

Wu Xue didn’t know much about the sect’s rules. She hugged Ye Yong tightly. Ever since she became Ye Yong’s maid, she had never left her young master. Although they didn’t see each other during retreat, at least they were in the same room. Now that her young master was going outside the sect, she was really uneasy. But thinking about how she was just a martial artist who had just entered the sect and didn’t have any ability to help her young master, she could only say some words of caution and then stand at the door, reluctantly watching Ye Yong leave.

Only after Ye Yong’s figure disappeared did Wu Xue come to her senses. Unlike when Ye Yong was around, her eyes were now extremely determined.

She had to become stronger. That way, no matter where she went, she could follow her young master and not hold him back.

Thinking about it, Wu Xue immediately returned to her room and began to cultivate.
