Just Wanting to Live Well but Surpassing the Protagonist – 42 Even If You Beat Her to Death
The spiritual meridians were opened up when breaking through to Foundation Establishment. They were usually set after Foundation Establishment, but in fact, it was possible to open up the remaining ones through some special methods.
Ye Yong was not stingy. He unfolded a shielding formation and told Qin Shimeng the method.
As for why he had to get so close to her despite having a shielding formation, it was of course because Ye Yong was afraid that someone would read his lips. Taking advantage of her or anything like that, how could someone like Ye Yong do that ?
Qin Shimeng’s mind was a little chaotic, but she still remembered the method Ye Yong told her.
It was a pity that she was already at the Crystallization Period and couldn’t recultivate like Ye Yong. Otherwise, she would definitely have chosen to recultivate. That way, she could have opened them up directly when she broke through to Foundation Establishment instead of having to go through all this trouble like she was now.
Of course, she wouldn’t blame Ye Yong for not telling her earlier. After all, with her prejudice against Ye Yong at the time, it would have been impossible for her to believe him. On the contrary, Qin Shimeng was already very grateful that Ye Yong didn’t hold a grudge against her for her previous cold attitude, gave her a mental cultivation method, gifted her with a Crystallization Assistance Stone, and even told her the method to open up her spiritual meridians.
“Don’t worry. If I find any suitable materials, I’ll keep them for you.” Ye Yong really wanted to continue talking to fragrance Qin Shimeng by her ear, to continue breathing in the intoxicating on her body, and even to take a bite of her tempting earlobe.
Fortunately, with the blessing of the Godly Physique, Ye Yong maintained his sanity. Otherwise, if he had really done that, the favorability that had increased would probably have dropped instantly. At that time, even if they were still friends, it would definitely be impossible for them to whisper like this.
Haste makes waste. Ye Yong understood this principle very well.
After he finished speaking, he stepped back from Qin Shimeng, very tactfully.
Qin Shimeng also breathed a of relief. Her heartbeat had accelerated, but it wouldn’t sigh last forever because she still hadn’t developed so-called love for Ye Yong. If Ye Yong continued to get closer, even if she didn’t say it on the surface, she would start to reject it like this next time.
So Ye Yong’s approach was really correct. It made her heart skip a beat, but it didn’t make her feel repulsive.
“Then Shimeng will thank you for your kindness first.” Qin Shimeng didn’t want to keep accepting Ye Yong’s help. She hoped to help him in return, even though she didn’t have the ability to help him for the time being. But Qin Shimeng had already taken note of his kindness in her heart and would repay it when the time was right.
Seeing that Qin Shimeng’s favorability had increased by 6 again, Ye Yong was delighted.
He had taken a little advantage of her and gained favorability and reversal points. This probably wasn’t a cultivation novel but a game to conquer beautiful girls, right?
Favorability 44, Attitude [Friend Worth Cherishing].
Just then, a petite girl with a bun and a sweet appearance appeared on the high platform.
“Whose child is that? She’s so cute.”
“You don’t even know who she is? Do you want to die? How dare you call her a child!”
The male cultivator who spoke was suddenly stared at by a group of people. Even the cute ‘girl’ on the high platform had a cold light in her eyes.
“I’m sorry!” The male cultivator was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed to the ground.
Only then did the ‘girl’s’ expression improve slightly. She didn’t care about it. Otherwise, if the male cultivator had been a step slower in apologizing, he would probably have been hammered into the ground.
Those who didn’t know the ‘girl’s’ identity whispered to those who did.
Ye Yong looked at the ‘girl’ on the high platform and was quite excited.
A new female lead had appeared! And she was a legal loli!
Judging from her appearance alone, no one would have guessed that she was already 21 years old!
Liang Xiaorou, an inner disciple of the Sword Pavilion, 21 years old, a Crystallization Level 8 cultivator.
At 21 years old, she was an eighth layer Crystallization cultivator, which would make her a top talent even in the Central State.
Her father, Liang Mengchao, was an iron-blooded man. In the middle of the novel, when the Five States were in chaos, he led a group of hot-blooded cultivators to defend the border and fight against the invading demons, ultimately sacrificing himself heroically.
When Liang Xiaorou found out, she cried her eyes out. However, it made her path of cultivation even more determined. Later, she became the Demon-Subduing Immortal Venerable, feared by demons and monsters. Wherever there were demons and monsters, she would appear and kill them all.
A petite figure stood amidst a mountain of demon corpses.
In the past, Ye Yong could only read about such vivid and magnificent scenes in novels. Now that he could see it with his own eyes, that was the reason for his excitement, not because the other party was a loli. Not to mention that this loli was not a pure loli. Once her full strength was unleashed, she would transform into a mature and charming older sister. It was just that she could not maintain that state for too long.
Wait, wouldn’t that be even more exciting?
Just thinking about it made him feel excited. Ye Yong meant that he would come to see her kill demons and monsters.
However, there was no opportunity related to Liang Xiaorou in the early stages. Otherwise, if Sword Pavilion Hall had both her and Qin Shimeng, the priority would definitely be to join Sword Pavilion Hall. But in order to Raiders another female character with a higher difficulty, he could only give up joining Sword Pavilion Hall and join Sound and Painting Hall instead.
Sound and Painting Hall, as the name suggests, cultivated music and painting techniques, which had nothing to do with Ye Yong’s aspiration to become a sword cultivator. However, in order to conquer more female characters and obtain reversal points, he had no choice.
“Listen up!” Liang Xiaorou put her hands on her hips and pointed at the people below the stage in a childish voice, “Don’t think that just because you passed the assessment, you are now disciples of the Tianluo Sect. Within five years! If your cultivation remains stagnant or progresses slowly, you must pack up and leave! Only those who pass the test after five years can be considered true disciples of the Tianluo Sect!”
Although the Tianluo Sect that Ye Yong had joined was a branch sect, the total number of people in all the halls was over sixty thousand. Every five years, the number of people would decrease, and the newly recruited disciples would fill the vacancies. For so many years, the number of people in the Tianluo Sect had remained around this number.
As for why the number of people would decrease every five years, it was because the Tianluo Sect had a rule that those who did not meet the requirements within five years had to leave, in addition to those who died during missions. Therefore, the number of disciples recruited by the Tianluo Sect each time would not exceed the average by too much. This was roughly the case for all sects. Otherwise, they would have been overcrowded long ago.
However, this time, due to the secret realm, the number of people recruited by the Tianluo Sect had doubled compared to previous years. But it did not matter. Time would prove whether they were worthy of staying.
After saying some more rules, Liang Xiaorou snorted and left. Then, a middle-aged female cultivator came out and said that they would be given time to bid farewell to their families. When the Tianluo Sect’s flying ship arrived, they would board it and go to the Tianluo Sect.
Although entering the Tianluo Sect did not mean that one could not return home, some cultivators’ homes were very far away, such as those who came from other states.
Even the Dong State itself was incredibly large. Just talking about the Tianluo Sect’s mountain gate, it would take several days to walk around it completely. How could it be easy for ordinary cultivators to return home?
For people from big families like Ye Yong, it was more convenient to return home. With a call from the sound transmission stone, the elders would send someone to greet them with a stylish mount.
However, cultivators would spend a lot of time in closed-door cultivation, and time would pass very quickly. Normally, the young masters and young ladies of big families would return home once every five years, and some would even go for decades without returning home.
“Yong’er, you have surprised me so much. Your grandfather, father, and the other elders will be very happy to know about this.” Ye Yong’s granduncle, Ye Mao’s grandfather, looked at Ye Yong with teary eyes at this moment.
Foundation Establishment Level Ten might not be anything special, but Seven-Colored Foundation Establishment was truly monstrous.
Although the Ye Family was very influential in the Great Zhou Dynasty, what about outside the Great Zhou Dynasty, outside the Dong State, in the Central State? The Central State was where most of the hidden families were located. The Ye Family was nothing in front of those existences.
Now, Ye Yong’s future was limitless. If he became a Great cultivator in the future, then the Ye Family would truly rise to prominence. Having lived for 1,200 years, the granduncle, whose lifespan was almost at its end, was certainly moved when he thought of such a future.
“If you encounter any problems in your cultivation, don’t worry. Just ask, and you will have enough resources.”
“What about me, Grandpa?” Ye Mao asked hurriedly.
“If you can be half as good as Yong’er, I will be relieved.”
“No, I mean, what about my resources?”
“Earn your own contribution points in the sect and exchange them for resources! Otherwise, what do you think I let you join the sect for? Don’t always rely on the family.”
Ye Mao felt like crying. Are you really Ye Yong’s granduncle or mine?
The granduncle said to Ye Yong, “Please help me take care of this good-for-nothing. If he causes any trouble, feel free to teach him a lesson. Just don’t kill him.”
After hesitating for a moment, the granduncle added, “It’s fine if you accidentally kill him.”
Ye Mao almost burst into tears after hearing this. Was his Foundation Establishment Level Six at the age of 20 really that bad? Wasn’t he also a genius? Why had he become a good-for-nothing? Moreover, he was clearly the older cousin. Why did he have to be taught a lesson by someone who was younger than him? And it didn’t matter even if he was killed?
“Don’t worry, Granduncle. I will keep an eye on him.” Ye Yong had long had this idea. If he dared to cause trouble for me, I will definitely break his legs, even if I can’t kill him.
Sensing Ye Yong’s malicious gaze, Ye Mao shivered.
