I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character

Chapter 43: Don’t Want, Don’t Need

To put it bluntly, Ye Yong was the most attractive person among all the cultivators. The Eldest Grandfather was currently telling the younger generation of the Ye Family that had passed the examination to listen to Ye Yong. There was, however, no need for him to say that as they would have done so anyway.

After all, Ye Yong had a 7-color foundation and was already at the 10th layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. They all wanted to butter up to him and have him carry them.

Marriage within a family was not uncommon in ancient times. Although this world wasnt exactly the same as the ancient times of the world that Ye Yong came from, he could tell that the female cultivators in the Ye Family did not have the idea of no marriage within third cousins. It was extremely clear they were all craving for him.

Even though none of the Ye Family females were ugly, Ye Yong doesnt want any of them. Besides being blood-related, what else can you do? Give me trouble? Scram! Besides, after interacting with Wu Xue and Qin Shi Meng, Ye Yongs standards had became pretty high.

Brother Yong, I want As soon as his younger female cousins opened their mouths, Ye Yong interrupted them, saying, No, you dont want.

Brother Yong, I need As soon as his older female cousins opened their mouths, Ye Yong interrupted them, saying, No, you dont need.

Ye Yong looked at young generation in the Ye Family. There were a total of 27 people, with 19 being male and 8 being female.

He created a Concealment Formation around them. I hope that all of you will remember what I say next. If you violate it, then dont blame me for disregarding the familial relation.

Hearing that, everyone perked up and waited for Ye Yong to speak.

Among the new Heavenly Luo Sect disciples this time, there will be a guy in Long Tian. You guys are not allowed to make enemies of him or befriend him. As soon as you see him, immediately get away and dont even talk to him.

This wasnt the first time that Ye Yong had mentioned the name. He had previously mentioned the name back when Ye Mao brought back the Wild Snakes corpse. What is that guys background?

Wu Xue was also curious about the type of person that would make Ye Yong care so much.

I wont talk about his origin or anything; just remember my words. When you meet other of our family members in the Heavenly Luo Sect, convey my words. As long as you listen, I guarantee that you will happily cultivate and live the rest of your lives in peace.

Yes.

You have the brightest future and are most loved by the elders; you call the shots.

Ye Yong nodded his head in satisfaction, then took out 27 bottles, each containing 15 beyond grade Spirit Gathering Pill. I dont really have anything to give you guys, so Ill give you all these. All of you are part of the Ye Family, so cultivate hard and become pillars of Ye Family in the future.

One of the members was curious after receiving the bottle and decided to open it. He exclaimed, Beyond grade Spirit Gathering Pill!

A Spirit Gathering Pill wasnt really expensive- average pill stores would sell one pill for only 2 low grade spirit stones.

However, that was for low grade Spirit Gathering Pills.

Pills have 5 grades: low, middle, upper, perfect, and beyond grade. Pills would have different changes depending on their grades. Among the grades was beyond grade, which, as the name suggests, had surpassed their original ranks and went through a qualitative change.

A beyond grade Sprit Gathering Pill was worth at least 100 low grade spirit stones, and that was just the price of it. Even if people were spending that amount for the pills, it was nearly impossible to buy them as there werent really any stock of them.

However, the beyond grade Spirit Gathering Pills only cost 3 transcend points, and Ye Yong had taken thousands of them since he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm and wanted to vomit just from seeing them. However, they were still considered treasures by the others.

There wasnt really any special reason why Ye Yong gave the Ye Family members pills. When he had read the novel, he was very eager for all the members of the Ye Family to just die since he was experiencing the story from the perspective of the male lead. However, since he was experiencing the story from the perspective of a member of the Ye Family, and the fact that they didnt really go against him and instead listened to him, he couldnt really bring himself to hate them.

Well, this excluded Ye Mao. Ye Yong was ready to cripple him if Ye Mao didnt listen to him and tried to get revenge on Long Tian after losing to him in the sect competition.

You gave us more than 300 beyond grade Spirit Gathering Pills in total, right? What about you? someone asked.

Its fine. Im about to break through to the Crystallization Realm. The effect of Spirit Gathering Pills would be much lower after Im in the Crystallization Realm, so Ill just use some better pills. However, the truth is that Ye Yong had consumed 300 beyond grade Spirit Gathering Pills from the bottom stage of the 11th layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the peak stage of the 11th layer. As his cultivation increased, he would require more and more spiritual energy. He estimated that by the time he reached the 20th layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would have consumed at around 4 or 5 thousand Spirit Gathering Pills. Its all because of this bugged cultivation level! Because of that black 8th spirit vein!

Ye Yong had a stomachache just thinking about all the time he has to spend in the future to consume Spirit Gathering Pills, but there was no way out of it. If he absorbed spiritual energy on his own without the help of pills, then he would take much, much longer to break through. The black spirit vein was simply too hard to feed because of its enormous capacity.

Well, thats all for now. Ye Yong waved his hand and removed the Concealment Formation, and they could once again hear the voices outside.

The Eldest Grandfather of the Ye Family had already went back to Ye Familys residence in the airship, and the other big cultivation families were also starting to leave.

Hey you. A childlike voice came from behind Ye Yong.

Ye Yong turned around and saw the legal loli- no, Liang Xiao Rou, walk up to him.

Do you need something, senior sister? Ye Yong asked politely, saluting.

How did you build a 7 color foundation? Liang Xiao Rou asked. She had a 6 color foundation, and that was a source of her pride, and now, someone with a 7 color foundation appeared.

I was born with it.

Liar, everyone said that you originally had a 5 color foundation.

They also said that I crippled my own cultivation. People tend to follow others and say what they hear. You cant trust everything.

Makes sense. Join the Sword Pavilion Hall. Ill take care of you. Liang Xiao Rou actually didnt believe Ye Yong one bit or made any sense. She just thought that Ye Yong was hiding things and was planning to slowly reveal them one by one once Ye Yong was in the Sword Pavilion Hall.

However, Ye Yong wasnt planning to join the Sword Pavilion Hall. He wanted to become a Sword Cultivator in the Music and Artistic Hall who knew music and art. However, openly refusing Liang Xiao Rou at the moment was just asking for trouble, so Ye Yong simply smiled and said, Thank you for your goodwill, Senior Sister.

That sentence didnt agree to her demand or reject her, but she thought that Ye Yong wouldnt dare to go against her, so she simply hmphed and turned away to leave.

Ye Yong opened his favorability rating list and saw that Liang Xiao Rous name had been added to it since they had met. Her current favorability was 2 and had an attitude of curious.

Qin Shi Meng didnt really have much to talk about with the elders of her family as all the elders of the Qin Family all died when they learned about Ye Yongs 7 color foundation. They were extremely eager to offer Qin Shi Meng to Ye Yong.

Qin Shi Meng went next to Ye Yong with her maid once she saw that Ye Yong had finished talking with his family members. Sometimes friends dont even need to talk to each other. They wouldnt feel awkward even if they just silently stood next to each other.

With Wu Xue on his left and Qin Shi Meng on his right, the female cultivators that craved for Ye Yong could only stop in their tracks, helping to remove some of the distractions from his mind.

After a bit more time, Heavenly Luo Sects airships came. There were 3 of them, and the entire place darkened as they were covering the sky.

Board the ships according to your cultivation level, a middle-aged female cultivator said.

Qin Shi Meng and Ye Yong were both at the 10th layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, so they boarded the airship first, along with their maids. This was because in the eyes of cultivators, mortals didnt have any human rights, and mortal servants were the same as objects to them.

No one dared to cut in front of them, because they had the qualifications to board first. Maybe only Ye Yong and Qin Shi Meng had the actual qualifications, but the maids were also allowed because of their luck. After all, they were the ones lucky enough to be chosen to be their maids, and not someone else.

Wu Xue and Qin Shi Mengs maids both got envied looks from the crowd. Especially from some of the female cultivators who wanted to take Wu Xues place.

Translators Notes:

You probably already guessed this, but it only conceals sound and nothing else.

Not sure if this is saying that all mortal humans were viewed as objects by the cultivators or if it was only mortal servants. Either way, cultivators dont really care about mortal humans.
