Just Wanting to Live Well But Surpassing the Protagonist – 19 Herb Gathering
As soon as Ye Yong came out, he stretched his waist, and then did some stretching exercises that Lin Wei had never seen before.
Condensing clouds with spiritual power, Lin Wei immediately appeared in front of Ye Yong.
“Yong’er, have you been okay these past few days?” Lin Wei was not worried about any problems with Ye Yong’s body now, because she had checked him and he was healthy. She was only worried about Ye Yong’s mental health.
“I’m fine, everything is going smoothly. I’m already at the second layer of Qi Refining.” Ye Yong had been gathering Qi for the past 5 days. The Divine Body was the Divine Body, even if Ye Yong did not understand cultivation at all and was just a layman who had read a night of basic knowledge, he could still successfully gather Qi. The key point was that he had not yet taken any pills to increase the Qi gathering. Taking pills would be faster.
“Qi Condensation 2nd Layer? Yong’er, you’re not lying to mother, are you?” Lin Wei couldn’t sense any cultivation from Ye Yong at all.
“Oh, I practiced a breath-holding technique that can hide my aura.” Ye Yong lifted the restriction of his shielding device and revealed his cultivation at the 2nd Layer of Qi Condensation.
“It really is the 2nd Layer of Qi Condensation! Yong’er, your cultivation speed is too fast, right? What in the world is the heart technique you’re cultivating?”
Cultivating to the 2nd Layer of Qi Condensation in 5 days, this speed was simply unprecedented, even for geniuses.
“I inadvertently obtained a mysterious heart technique. As for what it is, I ask for mother’s forgiveness for not being able to tell you.”
“Okay, okay.” Lin Wei didn’t want to get to the bottom of it either. She was just too surprised.
Thinking about it, her Yong’er was so smart and talented, how could he possibly ruin his future? It turned out he had obtained something even better.
“However, Mother, don’t tell anyone I’ve recovered my cultivation for now. When the time comes for the Tianluo Sect to recruit disciples, I will naturally reveal it.” Ye Yong now just wanted to experience the joy of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
“Sure, I’ll listen to you.” Lin Wei was truly overjoyed. She probably cared more about his future than Ye Yong did.
In the evening, Lin Wei stewed a pot of delicious soup for Ye Yong, which was made entirely of precious spirit beast meat and spirit herbs. Although the taste wasn’t that great, it was truly nourishing. Ye Yong gave her face and drank it all.
After finishing it, the automatic cultivation system sent a series of prompts.
‘Ding~ Absorbed the essence of the Sword Claw Tiger. The Five Tigers Fist is very happy and the cultivation speed is increasing. Progress: 68.’
‘Ding~ Absorbed the thousand-year-old Icy Snow Lotus. The Cold Iron Palm has been nourished and the cultivation speed is increasing. Progress: 70.’
A series of acceleration prompts, Ye Yong couldn’t be happier.
However, the progress of his divine-grade heart technique and heaven-grade sword technique were only 1 and 3 respectively.
The speed was still impressive.
Of course, Ye Yong wasn’t anxious at all. As long as he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he could start cultivating the heart technique. When that time came, his own cultivation would be coupled with the assistance of the plug- in system. A double cultivation speed could be completely achieved.
Another week passed, and Ye Yong had already reached the 8th Layer of Qi Condensation. As he gradually understood the principles of gathering Qi and mastered the techniques of gathering Qi, coupled with the occasional use of medicinal pills, his cultivation speed had skyrocketed.
This improvement speed was faster than he had expected. In that case, could he reach the 10th Layer of Foundation Establishment and break through to the Crystallization stage in 2 months?
“Speaking of which, today is the 14th day since I transmigrated. It’s been two weeks. That is, the day when Qin Shimeng and the protagonist Long Tian came into contact…” Ye Yong walked out of the house and looked at the sky. “Protagonist Long Tian… I really don’t want to meet him.”

Da Zhou Dynasty’s Lingyou Mountain.
This was a continuous mountain range with abundant resources. Many mortals, martial artists, and even cultivators would enter the mountain to collect resources.

The deeper one went into Lingyou Mountain, the more resources there were, but the greater the danger.
Within 2,000 meters of the periphery, it was basically a place where mortals and martial artists were active. The wild beasts that appeared were also ordinary beasts that they could deal with. However, the depths of more than 2,000 meters could only be seen by the figures of cultivators.
There were all spirit beasts and demonic beasts there. It was said that in the depths of Lingyou Mountain, there were powerful demonic beasts equivalent to the Void Penetration stage. They were very terrifying. However, it was ultimately a legend. The strongest demonic beast discovered so far was only at the God Transformation stage, and it was still in the depths. Ordinary people couldn’t see it at all.
Today, Lingyou Mountain was shrouded in fog, and the visibility wasn’t very high.
An unremarkable boy with bright eyes, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, about 18 years old, wearing a jade pendant on his chest, appeared at the entrance of Lingyou Mountain.
He was wearing cheap clothes that could be seen everywhere, and a mortal-grade long saber was hanging from his waist. Who would have thought that this boy, who would only be mistaken for a martial artist in a crowd, was actually a cultivator at the 4th Layer of Foundation Establishment?
However, to the outside world, he had only cultivated for 3 years. In reality, he had cultivated for 9 years.
This had to start from the magical jade pendant he wore. Not only was there a remnant soul of an immortal old man inside, but there was also a mysterious space where the flow of time was three times faster than the outside, but his age wouldn’t ‘t increase.
Cultivating to the 4th Layer of Foundation Establishment in 9 years, this talent was also quite good.
“Today, I must obtain the Purple Jade Mushroom for Uncle Liu. Otherwise, I’m afraid he won’t be able to survive this month.” Looking at Lingyou Mountain, which was shrouded in fog, a resolute light flashed in the boy’s eyes.
This boy’s name was Long Tian. He was an abandoned baby who had grown up in a village near Lingyou Mountain since he was a child. The one who raised him was a mortal named Uncle Liu.
Uncle Liu used to be a martial artist, but because he was injured by a demonic beast, his foundation was damaged. As he grew older, his illness became more and more obvious.
Long Tian couldn’t bear to watch Uncle Liu, who had raised him, leave like this in pain. He had to find a spirit herb called the Purple Jade Mushroom to treat Uncle Liu’s injuries.
In the past few days, Long Tian had been going deeper and deeper into Lingyou Mountain every day, all for the sake of finding the Purple Jade Mushroom. Today, he planned to go 8,000 meters deep. Most of the demonic beasts there were at the Foundation Establishment stage, but occasionally, demonic beasts at the Crystallization stage would also appear.
Crystallization period spirit beasts are too dangerous for the current Long Tian, but for Liu Bo, he had to venture out.
Because he had been collecting herbs within a 2000-meter radius since he was young, he was very familiar with the outer area of Long Tian. Three years ago, an accident occurred, and he accidentally splashed blood on the jade pendant he had been wearing since he was young, activating the jade pendant and awakening the remnant soul of the fallen immortal, which opened up the path of cultivation for him.
In order to forge, Long Tian used his mortal body to go deep into the area beyond 2000 meters. He experienced many dangers and collected herbs for his own forge.
During these three years, he had been active within a range of about 4000 meters, collecting herbs. He used what he could use himself, and sold the rest for money, so he was no stranger to the area within 4000 meters.
A few days ago, he officially attacked at 6000 meters. In the past few days, he had also figured out a certain range of 6000 meters. Because he had not found the Jade Mushroom, and he did not want to continue wasting time at 6000 meters, he had to continue going deeper. Because the deeper he went, the more resources there would be inside.
He ran all the way to the place he had marked yesterday. This was the junction between 6000 meters and 7000 meters. As for how Long Tian knew the exact distance, it was because as a cultivator, he could master his speed and time very accurately .
Using the beast repellent incense taught by the old fallen immortal, Long Tian avoided many foundation building level 10 spirit beasts and avoided unnecessary battles. He went all the way deep to 8000 meters.
Just then, Long Tian suddenly heard the sound of fighting and killing.
