I just want to live well but surpass the protagonist – 105 I understand
“I went to a certain big city in the human race to visit an antique shop and bought a few gadgets, one of which was a fox statue. One day, when the servant was cleaning, he accidentally broke it and found a hidden inside. A suitable cultivation method for your spirit fox family…”
All the spirit foxes held their breath. After the maze, they didn’t think the object Ye Yong took out would be low-grade.
They felt that their bloodline was not bad, but it was just because they had left the group at the time, and during the long journey, they had encountered enemies, which had led to the death of many outstanding spirit foxes, resulting in the loss of their cultivation methods.
The cultivation method they were currently practicing was revised by the Great Elder based on the lost method.
The spirit foxes were very smooth when they first started practicing, but they would gradually stagnate later on. This was also the reason why the highest cultivation of the spirit foxes in the cave was only in the late stage of the Golden Core. It couldn’ t be helped. Their Great Elder was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul at that time. No matter how wise that Great Elder was, it was impossible to revise a method that surpassed his own understanding and cultivation.
Seeing that the spirit foxes were terribly quiet, Ye Yong didn’t beat around the bush and took out a pen and paper. “Can you read?”
Many spirit foxes nodded. As creatures with high intelligence from birth, they were not illiterate. Not only did they know the exclusive script of the fox clan, but they had also learned the common script of the human race.
“Forget it. It’s not safe to write it down. I’ll say it once, and you can write it down later.” Ye Yong spent 12,000 to buy the first and second parts of the [Nine Palaces Rebirth Fox Immortal Technique].
As its name suggested, this was an immortal technique. Ye Yong bought it for Hua Ningyan to practice. As for why he gave it to them, it was purely to make full use of everything.
After all, as fellow spirit foxes, they were definitely suitable for practicing it. As for whether their future cultivation would surpass Hua Ningyan’s, Ye Yong was not worried at all. Hua Ningyan was a female fox. It was already very rare for these spirit foxes to cultivate to the God Transformation stage with this method.
Moreover, this method currently only had the second part. Even if someone’s talent was comparable to Hua Ningyan’s, they would at most reach the Void Refinement stage. Without the third part, it was impossible to break through to the Great Ascension stage.
It wasn’t that Ye Yong was stingy and didn’t buy the third part, but the third part was too expensive. It required a full 100,000 reversal points.
All the methods were like this. The first part was extremely cheap, at a cabbage price, and the price of the second part doubled. The price of the third part doubled again.
Although Ye Yong still had 140,000 reversal points, he kept them as a reserve. Cultivation also took time. If someone’s talent really exploded in the future and they got stuck in the late stage of the Void Refinement stage, Ye Yong could still give them the third part.
He released a soundproofing array and only let the older spirit foxes in. Why didn’t he let the younger ones listen? It was because he was afraid that the younger spirit foxes would be ambitious and try to cultivate forcefully even though they didn’t understand, which would harm themselves.
The older spirit foxes were more stable and had higher cultivation. They were more capable of comprehending the method. At that time, they could let them tell the younger foxes the parts they had mastered, allowing them to cultivate gradually. This was more in line with the development of a large family. The spirit foxes had done this in the past, and it was precisely because of this that their method was lost when powerful spirit foxes died in battle.
However, they no longer needed to travel long distances and encounter danger. Under the protection of the five-grade array, it was enough for them to grow to the Nascent Soul stage or even the God Transformation stage.
After listening to Ye Yong’s explanation of the method, the elders all fell into a state of intoxication. It took them a long time to regain their senses. Then, they were filled with gratitude and bowed to Ye Yong.
After doing so much, Ye Yong’s position in the spirit foxes’ hearts was already comparable to the deceased Great Elder, or even surpassed it. The good fortune Ye Yong had given them allowed their lineage to no longer decline and to become powerful again.
“That should be about it.” Ye Yong had been out for ten days. If he didn’t go back, Wu Xue would definitely be worried. Moreover, news that someone had met Ye Tianjiao would definitely spread in Qi Rong City. At that time, if he was targeted by fanatics or the Demonic Sect…
Just thinking about it was troublesome. Ye Yong decided to return to the Tianluo Sect early to avoid any trouble.
“Are you leaving?” The spirit foxes were very reluctant because from beginning to end, they had only received Ye Yong’s help, and it was help that could change their lives. However, they had nothing they could do for Ye Yong.
“We’ll meet again if we’re fated to. There’s no need to be attached. Just cultivate properly.” Ye Yong said to Hua Ningyan, “I’ll give you some time to bid farewell to your family.”
“Father, brother…” Following Ye Yong to an unknown place still made Hua Ningyan feel uneasy, but Ye Yong had protected the safety of its clansmen and taught them a profound method, which made it determined to stay by Ye Yong’s side, regard him as its master, and follow him for life.
Such a great favor had to be repaid by someone. However, Hua Ningyan felt that it couldn’t repay it at all. On the contrary, becoming Ye Yong’s spirit pet was taking advantage of him.
“Listen to Master Ye and don’t fool around.” Hua Ze Lei didn’t have much to say to Hua Ningyan. This was how old fathers were. When thousands of words reached their lips, they only became blessings.
Hua Liangchen was crying. A male fox cried like a girl, making it seem like they were parting ways for life or death. The other clansmen also said many parting words to Hua Ningyan, asking it to come back and visit Ye Yong when it had time.
Half an hour later, Ye Yong led Hua Ningyan out of the array. The rich forest behind them had turned into a wasteland.
Hua Ningyan looked back. It didn’t cry when it said goodbye. It deliberately acted very strong, but now that it was really leaving, it started to shed tears silently.
Ye Yong looked at this sentimental little fox. Its clansmen were alive, and it was like this when it parted with them. It was hard to imagine how desperate and angry it must have been in the novel when it witnessed its brother’s tragic death, witnessed the annihilation of its clansmen, and could only stand by and do nothing.
Bending down, Ye Yong touched the little fox’s head. It was fluffy and felt very good, much better than the slightly hard wolf hair of the silly Xia Shiqi.
“Master Ye… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to stop.” Hua Ningyan thought it had delayed Ye Yong.
“I’m not blaming you. It’s normal to feel reluctant to leave home.” Ye Yong also missed his home on Earth. Although he had been telling himself that he couldn’t go back since he had transmigrated here, he still felt sad when he saw something that reminded him of it.
The current Hua Ningyan was like him when he first went to university. It was the first time he had left home and was filled with uncertainty about the future. Although he got used to university life later on and played games with his roommates every day, he basically didn’t miss home except when he was out of money.
“I’m fine now. Let’s go, Master Ye.”
“Before that, how about you change the way you address me?”
“Then how do you want me to address you?”
“Master?” Ye Yong asked tentatively.
“Understood, Master.” Hua Ningyan’s voice was soft and sweet. This word “Master” made Ye Yong feel very comfortable. Unfortunately, it was still only a fox at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage. It had to at least reach the Nascent Soul stage to transform into a human form… However, with Hua Ningyan’s talent, Ye Yong believed that it would soon reach the Nascent Soul stage. A silver-haired fox girl… It was really beautiful to think about.
