Just Wanting to Live Well But Surpassing the Protagonist – 23 Various Opportunities
Long Tian picked up the book and flipped through a few pages in confusion. It wasn’t clickbait. The content inside was really about pig birthing and postpartum care. It could even save the dying piglet. It was full of useful information . As expected of a deluxe edition. Even a professional pig farmer would have to give a thumbs up and exclaim, “You’re an expert!”
“This… What kind of opportunity is this?” Long Tian was speechless. He had thought it was some kind of pill recipe or advanced technique.
‘Hmm…’ Old Immortal Meteorite pondered for a moment. ‘Maybe this place was used to raise spirit pigs before. Those spirit plants planted outside were food for the spirit pigs. It seems that your Heavenly Luo Sect has an elder who is proficient in raising spirit pigs.’
Long Tian was about to put the book back when Old Immortal Meteorite hurriedly said, ‘Keep it. Why don’t you want it?’
“I don’t raise spirit pigs.” Long Tian looked disgusted.
‘That’s not true. Although spirit pigs are very common, they have many similar characteristics to other spirit beasts. Learning the knowledge of birthing and postpartum care doesn’t have to be used on spirit pigs. This kind of knowledge is also applicable to other spirit beasts.’
Long Tian thought about it. It did make sense. It was better to master a skill than to not know what to do when encountering a similar situation in the future.
Putting the book into his jade pendant space, Long Tian went outside the house to dig up some soil, preparing to take some back to plant spirit plants.
‘Huh? I didn’t notice just now, but there seems to be a hint of spiritual power fluctuation over there.’
Arriving at the place where the withered immortal had sensed something, Long Tian dug to a depth of about three feet, unexpectedly discovering a shovel under the soil that was slightly broken but still intact overall.
“Profound Rank Grade Three! A good item!” Long Tian’s tiger-like body shook. Even if it was a shovel, it was still countless times better than the Mortal Rank sword he was using. He could use this shovel to receive the attacks of those Profound Rank weapons, unlike the Mortal Rank sword that would shatter upon contact.
Before, Long Tian wanted to improve his cultivation and use his powerful physical body palm technique to crush Bai Gui and the others to death. Now with this shovel, he believed that as long as he seized the opportunity, he could kill them one by one .
Not to mention anything else, with one strike of this shovel, heads would roll and flowers would bloom.
Although he had not obtained any other resources that could help improve his cultivation, it was worth the trip to have collected a book on spirit pigs and a Profound Rank shovel.
Long Tian did not immediately go to look for Bai Gui and the others. Instead, he continued to go deeper, hoping to find more opportunities.
After walking for about several miles, the withered immortal made another discovery: a hidden formation. After lifting, a cave appeared. There were many traps in the cave, which Long Tian avoided one by one, finally arriving at the deepest part.
In the deepest part, a light shone down from an unknown source, landing on an ancient-looking box on a stone platform that seemed somewhat familiar.
Long Tian removed the seal and opened the box. It was another book, and its name was quite special.
[Continent of Fighting Horses][Volume 1]
Could it be a technique to control horses?
Long Tian hurriedly flipped it open and took a look. It turned out to be a storybook. It also talked about cultivators, but unlike here, the cultivators’ spiritual power would transform into horses, and then they would compete through horse fighting. Although the cultivators’ spiritual power would transform into horses, and then they would compete through horse fighting. The protagonist’s cultivation was not high, his horse ran very fast. Even when pursued by powerful enemies, he could still escape because the other party’s horses could not catch up.
“What kind of opportunity is this? They specially set up so many traps just to protect a storybook? Although the content is quite interesting, it doesn’t seem worth it.”
The withered immortal fell into deep thought, muttering to himself, ‘It shouldn’t be like this.’
He exerted all his strength and expanded his soul power to the limit!
3 meters!
Don’t underestimate these 3 meters. This was the soul power of a Celestial Rank, and it directly penetrated the surroundings.
‘So that’s how it is. The book is a cover! There’s something hidden behind the stone wall!’
Long Tian used the shovel to smash through the stone wall and, as expected, found some medicine bottles inside. He opened them and took a look. There were several Perfect Spirit Gathering Pills, more than ten Top Grade Spirit Gathering Pills, and more than thirty medium-grade Spirit Gathering Pills.
Although Long Tian himself could refine these pills, freebies were freebies. It was just that he felt that this opportunity was a bit too small.
‘Don’t be greedy.’ At this time, the withered immortal warned, ‘To you, these pills are nothing, but to other Foundation Establishment cultivators, these pills are very precious existences, especially the Perfect Spirit Gathering Pills. Do you think everyone is like you, able to take them every time you cultivate?’
Long Tian thought about it, and it was indeed so. Perhaps he was too greedy, thinking that he could find many powerful resources here.
——The next hidden place
He found another box about the same size as before.
Long Tian had already guessed what was inside. A book.
However, he was very curious about what kind of book it was.
He opened the box and saw a very domineering name.
[JianghuHunter]
“Hunter? Could it be a continuation of the previous storybook?” Long Tian flipped it open and saw that it was a different genre.
It roughly said that there was a creature called the Lone Nightmare, whose mouths were extremely smelly. They would spray at anyone they saw. Their fatal weakness was a body organ called the [Horse], which would run away from their bodies. The Hunter in the Jianghu hunted the [Horses] to eliminate the Lone Nightmares.
While Long Tian was reading, the withered immortal released his soul power to search for hidden things. Very quickly, he found them underground.

Long Tian dug around with his magical shovel and found some more scattered pills and a Mortal RankGrade Nine dagger.

Finally, Long Tian arrived at the center of the secret realm.
A lake, with a small island in the middle. It was empty and bare.
There was probably another mystery.
Just as Long Tian was about to approach, a giant turtle head suddenly sprang out of the lake. If not for Long Tian’s quick reaction, he would have definitely been bitten and swallowed.
A Crystallization Late Stage spirit beast, the strongest existence in the secret realm.
‘With your current cultivation base, you can’t defeat it. Let’s go.’
Without the Immortal Meteorite Elder saying anything, Long Tian also had this idea.
That tortoise seemed to be very angry and irritable. Long Tian wondered if its morning temper was a bit too much, or if it was uncomfortable because of the beast repellent incense on his body?
Shaking his head, Long Tian left the center. He couldn’t risk his life to venture to that small island that might not have anything.
He found a cave, entered the jade pendant space, and began to try to break through the ninth level of Foundation Establishment using the elixirs he had obtained and some spirit herbs he had picked along the way.
Since he had already decided to kill Bai Gui and his group, it was better to be fully prepared.

‘Blocked the protagonist’s small opportunity once, increased 60,000 reversal points.
Blocked the protagonist’s small opportunity once, increased 20,000 reversal points.
Blocked the protagonist’s small opportunity once, increased 30,000 reversal points.
Blocked the protagonist’s small to medium opportunity once, obtained 90,000 reversal points.’
Listening to the system’s occasional prompts, Ye Yong felt very comfortable.
He had no idea that he could have originally obtained more reversal points. Although he had taken everything that the protagonist would have gotten, just like in the novel, the novel didn’t mention that the elders had actually set up two opportunities. The first one was very bountiful, while the second one was much less so.
The second opportunity was mainly so that the people who came later wouldn’t return empty-handed.
Even if Ye Yong knew about this, he wouldn’t have thought much of it. It could only be said that as expected of the protagonist, as expected of the son of destiny. Even if he lost the big opportunity, he could still pick up some small ones.
