Just Want to Live Well but Surpassed the Protagonist – 84 The Treatment of a Genius

Ye Yong admitted he had underestimated the effect he could produce.

He had read too many novels, thinking that if the demonic sect wanted to deal with him, they would only send a few people, and their cultivation wouldn’t be high enough to provide experience.

But on second thought, he wasn’t the protagonist. Enemies would underestimate the protagonist, but not him. How could they line up to provide experience? It would definitely be a swarm. If he complied, he would fall into the demonic sect; if not, he would fall into the ghost gate, one or the other.

In fact, Ye Yong wasn’t afraid of falling into the demonic sect because no matter what method the other party used to control him, as long as there was a turning point, as long as there was the invincible existence of the system store, everything could be undone, and then he could successfully escape. What he feared was that the other party wouldn’t give him a choice and would directly make him reincarnate.

After all, killing a person is easier than capturing one alive.

Seeing Ye Yong deep in thought, Liu Guangxing smiled: “Don’t be too pressured. A genius is destined to attract attention, the long road ahead is full of thorns and loneliness. What you need to do is get used to and overcome these . After this loss, the demonic sect won’t dare act rashly upon hearing of your outings, you can do as you please.”

“Uh-huh.” Ye Yong nodded, in the end, it was still a matter of strength. If he had absolute strength, why fear anything?

“The sect master and the elders are all looking forward to your growth.” Liu Guangxing took out a yellow jade seal: “This is a life-saving item bestowed by the sect master. Considering your limited spiritual power, you can’t activate too powerful forces, so it stores the might of a late-stage Nascent Soul three times. Unless the opponent has a high-level defensive treasure, it can instantly kill up to the eighth layer of Nascent Soul, injure the ninth layer, and repel the tenth layer. Even if you encounter a peak tenth layer, the three mights are enough to resolve three crises for you, creating opportunities to escape.”

Ye Yong took the yellow jade seal. Similar items were sold in the system store, but they were very expensive. Nascent Soul level, from early to late stage sold for 10,000 to 30,000 reversal points, Divine Transformation 50,000 to 80,000, Hollow Void 100,000 to 300,000, Great Vehicle 500,000 to 800,000, Saint 1,000,000 to 1,500,000.

Selling so expensive is actually quite understandable. Buying a low-level Saint’s, capable of

“Junior has been unable to personally thank the Sect Master, so I ask that Steward Liu relay my gratitude.” Ye Yong knew that if the Sect Master had wanted to see him, he would have been taken to meet him just now. Coming to Liu Guangman’s place meant that either the Sect Master had no business with him, or that the Sect Master only saw Ye Yong as a potential ally, and nothing more. As for the future, that would depend on Ye Yong’s performance.

“I will.” Liu Guangman emphasized, “Remember, activating the seal’s power requires the user’s spiritual energy. Do not exhaust yourself to the point of fainting.”

“Rest assured, Junior will exercise restraint and will not activate it unless absolutely necessary.”

Liu Guangman had a rather good impression of Ye Yong’s seal. Judging from the fact that he knew how to create a diversion when going out, he was not a reckless person. “Regarding the reward for eliminating the Demonic Sect, an Elder will commend you later.”

“Junior has done nothing to deserve such a reward…”

“This matter was caused by you. The Sect Master says you have done well, then you have done well. Accept it.”

“Yes.”

“That is all I have to say to you. You may return now.”

“Junior bids farewell.”

As he descended the mountain, Ye Yong felt like he was in a dream. He had just had a whim to go out and find a punching bag to practice on. As a cautious transmigrator, he had taken some precautions when going out, but when he came back, he had inexplicitly ‘taken the blame’.

“The fate of a villain is too terrifying. If it were the protagonist, even if they had made a real contribution, there would definitely be Elders who would come out to oppose it, arguing that the protagonist was not worthy.” Ye Yong was not happy with the current development. In fact, he was quite scared.

Because a tall tree attracts the wind, and the higher you stand, the harder you fall.

Although the protagonist was targeted everywhere he went and suppressed whenever he showed any promise, this was actually a good thing. At least he would not be too conspicuous. But Ye Yong, who had done nothing, had received a reward upon his return. Not only had his limelight not been suppressed, but others had helped to increase it. It was like a death accelerator. In the future, the possibility of him encountering danger would greatly increase.

“After the Sword Pavilion Competition and the secret realm exploration are over, I’ll keep a low profile for a while.” Ye Yong recalled the plot of the novel. In the secret realm, the protagonist obtained a lot of resources and went into seclusion for several weeks, breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Condensation. After that, it was time for him to play a supporting role and die. Ye Mao and Bai Gui would be the first to suffer.

As long as Ye Yong could successfully shift Ye Mao’s hatred toward the protagonist in the Sword Pavilion Competition, then only Bai Gui and his cronies would be the ones causing trouble for the protagonist.

In fact, Ye Yong felt that preventing the villain from giving the protagonist treasures should also be considered as blocking his opportunities, but he did not dare to do so. If he got himself killed, it would be too late to cry.

Ye Yong did not immediately return to the Echo Painting Hall. He had obtained the Sparrow Silk Feather and needed to process it to make a feather pen for Mu Qingyin.

There were many gifts to choose from, but the reason Ye Yong chose this one was because in the novel, Mu Qingyin went out traveling and visited some painting cultivators. In the home of one of them, she saw a Sparrow Silk Feather Pen. She liked it very much, but the painting cultivator was unwilling to part with it.

At that time, it was not the breeding season for Sparrow Silk Birds, and Mu Qingyin searched several large shops but could not find one, so she had to give up.

Later, the protagonist accidentally obtained a feather and gave it to her, fulfilling her small wish.

Although the timeline in reality had not yet reached the point where Mu Qingyin went out traveling, there was no doubt that this was an excellent gift to give when meeting her.

As for how much it would increase her favorability, Ye Yong did not know, but he felt that it would not be too little.

The best place to process the feather pen was the Tool Refining Hall, and Ye Yong already had someone in mind.

Tool refining was ranked fifth in difficulty among the Six Arts.

What are the Six Arts?

Divination, formation, alchemy, talismans, tool refining, and spiritual cooking.

Among them, divination was the most difficult. The divination of cultivators was not the trickery of those charlatans in the secular world, but a genuine peek into the heavens, calculating the future.

Speaking of calculating the future, one must mention the female lead of this novel. However, that female lead was in the Central Continent and would not appear so soon. Her status was also very high, making it difficult to meet her.

“Are you Junior Brother Ye?” As soon as Ye Yong arrived at the Tool Refining Peak’s mountain gate, the guarding cultivator recognized him.

Tool refining could be considered a profession for otaku monks. Other sects might have female cultivators, but the Tool Refining Hall of the Heavenly Luo Sect did not.

Ye Yong had never shown his face at the Tool Refining Peak before, so he was somewhat surprised that the other party could recognize him at a glance.

Have I become famous in the otaku circle?
