Just Wanting to Live a Good Life but Surpassing the Protagonist – 36 One Day
To put it bluntly, these extras have no part in opportunities. They’re prepared by the heavens for the protagonists or important antagonists to improve their cultivation.
Ye Yong deeply understood this principle. Seeing those clansmen with a slightly closer blood relation, each with an expression as if they were the Son of Destiny who could obtain a great opportunity, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.
However, he did take a few more glances at Ye Gou. It wasn’t because he thought Ye Gou’s cultivation was high, but simply because he remembered a guy in the novel from the Ye Family at the tenth layer of Qi Foundation, who entered the same hall as Long Tian after entering the Heavenly Luo Sect and was sent by ‘Ye Yong’ to kill Long Tian. In the end, he was killed by Long Tian in the secret realm.
If Ye Yong’s guess was correct, the guy in front of him was that unlucky fellow.
Tenth layer of Qi Foundation at 26! Leading a group of underlings at the Qi Foundation stage! Yet he couldn’t defeat an 18-year-old at the seventh layer of Qi Foundation! What a loser!
Ye Yong wasn’t sure if Long Tian, who had missed the small opportunity to meet Qin Shimeng that time, had reached the seventh layer of Qi Foundation as in the novel, but he figured it probably wouldn’t be much different. In any case, as the Son of the Plane, Ye Yong wouldn’t dare to provoke him even if he had a hundred guts.
Although Ye Yong had replaced ‘Ye Yong,’ it was impossible for him to let this Ye Gou assassinate Long Tian. But perhaps this idiot would take the initiative to find trouble with Long Tian, after all, the protagonist was born with a face that naturally drew mockery. Even if his appearance was ordinary, when standing in a crowd, the antagonists would especially love to find trouble with him.
No, I have to warn these guys.
Ye Yong made up his mind.
After Ye Yong joined the gathering, the Ye Family juniors who were going to participate in the Heavenly Luo Sect’s test were all present. An elder came out to tell them some precautions and then personally led the team to a certain mountain range where the Heavenly Luo Sect’s assessment site was located.
The elder leading the team was the Ninth Elder, Ye Mao’s grandfather, and Ye Yong’s granduncle, Ye Zhe.
The ranking of the elders in the Ye Family wasn’t based on seniority, but on strength.
Ye Zhe’s cultivation was slightly inferior to his other younger brothers, and he hadn’t reached the Void Refinement Stage, but he was also at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, which could be considered a great power in the early stage of the novel.
However, by the mid-stage of the novel, when there were Saint Venerables flying all over the sky, even the weakest of the extras and villains that were easily caught was at the Cave Void Great Ascension Stage. In the early stage, the Nascent Soul Stage, which was said to be able to open mountains and split the earth and was omnipotent, was nothing. You could say it was excessive.
But this is a novel, there’s no way around it. It’s impossible to have a protagonist at the Cave Void Stage bullying a villain at the Nascent Soul Stage. That would be boring. It’s definitely more enjoyable to fight an enemy that is stronger than the protagonist.
I digress. In short, Ye Yong remembers that Ye Zhe didn’t have much role in the novel. Anyway, he was a scumbag who was slapped to death by Long Tian, who had grown up. But yesterday, he gave himself a lot of pills. From the perspective of Ye Yong as a member of the Ye family’s younger generation, this uncle was quite good to him.
At least when Ye Yong beat up his grandson Ye Mao, Ye Zhe didn’t get angry. Instead, he happily gave Ye Yong a gift.

Following his uncle to the square, a huge spiritual energy spaceship was parked there.
From Noble mtl dot com
It was a spaceship. After all, in the world of fantasy, it’s impossible to rely on cultivators to fly everywhere or to catch a mount. Otherwise, there would be teleportation arrays.
When a big family goes out, they need some style. Naturally, there is no shortage of pretentious transportation.
As its name suggests, the spiritual energy spaceship is a ship that flies in the sky and is powered by spiritual energy.
Compared to the science fiction spaceships that Ye Yong had seen in movies before, the Ye family’s spiritual energy spaceship was relatively normal. It didn’t have an exaggerated sense of technology. It just had a slightly strange appearance. The materials were made of some unknown wood and some metal. The flag sail in the middle had a large “Ye” written on it.
Where had Wu Xue ever seen such a thing? She thought it was some kind of living creature and hid behind Ye Yong in fright.
Ye Yong smiled slightly, took Wu Xue’s little hand, and explained to her what a spiritual energy spaceship was.
No one had any objections to Ye Yong bringing a maid, nor did they dare to have any objections.
He might not have the highest cultivation level, but he had the best talent, the most potential, and was the most favored by the elders.
If it had been two days ago, perhaps someone would have mocked him. But now that they knew that Ye Yong hadn’t scrapped his cultivation, who would dare to say anything?
But for some reason, they were furious when they saw Ye Yong holding a thin and lovely maid, standing at the bow of the ship, enjoying the scenery.

The mountain range where the Tianluo Sect arranged the assessment was called Qiugan Peak. There was nothing special about it. It had always been used for testing.
Ever since the Tianluo Sect selected Qiugan Peak as the assessment site thousands of years ago, the small village at the foot of the mountain had transformed into a city called Qiugan City. It was very prosperous. Every time the Tianluo Sect’s assessment day came, it was even more crowded.
In addition to the mortals who yearned for immortality, casual cultivators would also choose to stay in Qiugan City for a few days.
There was no way around it. The monks were different from big families. They didn’t have spiritual energy spaceships when they went out, and they were afraid of being late, so they would usually come in advance.
It was just that the accommodation prices were soaring, and some casual practitioners would choose to spend the night outside the city to save money.
Because there was a city and frequent human activity, there were no monsters near Qiugan Peak. Cultivators could just find a place to meditate.
But if they were unlucky enough to encounter robbers… just like they did now.
A group of fierce and evil men, all at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, surrounded by a young man with an ordinary appearance but clean clothes and a human-grade fifth-grade martial weapon at his waist.
“If you don’t want to suffer, hand over your valuables!” As soon as they opened their mouths, one could tell that the burly men were old robbers.
Faced with the burly men who outnumbered him, the young man was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled. “It just so happens that I spent all my money on supplies yesterday. You guys came to give me money.”
“This guy can’t be an idiot, right?” “A first-level Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to be arrogant?”
The burly men clearly sensed that the young man only had the cultivation of the first level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The young man still had a smile on his face and didn’t waste any more words with them.
“Not good, he’s an expert!” The burly man at the head exclaimed when he saw the young man draw his sword.
“Spare me!” “Ah!!!”
A moment later, a group of corpses fell into a pool of blood.
The young man bent down, searched the bodies, and collected the valuables.
A few dozen low-grade spirit stones and some money. Not bad.
Decisive and ruthless. This was the protagonist, Long Tian!
In fact, Long Tian didn’t think he had done anything wrong. Even if he had really handed over his valuables, the other party might not have let him go easily. Moreover, killing them could be considered eliminating harm for the people. Why not?
Long Tian couldn’t be bothered to take the other party’s martial weapon because it would be troublesome to sell it for money. He left it with the corpses. Perhaps he would meet some cultivators who would pick up the scraps and help bury the corpses.
Even if he didn’t bury them, it didn’t matter. They were just a bunch of robbers. No one would avenge them.
No longer looking at the corpse on the ground, Long Tian straightened his posture and headed towards the city gate of Qiugan City.
Just then, he heard a roar in the sky. He looked up and saw that it was the spiritual energy airships of those big families.
“One day, I will also have my own spiritual energy airship.” Long Tian looked at the airship with the Ye character written on it and muttered to himself, his eyes filled with determination.
