I Just Want to Live a Good Life, but I Surpassed the Protagonist – 76 Detector
Ye Yong knew that the immortal the village chief mentioned who came to investigate must be from the Tianluo Sect’s mission department.
For some commissions, the mission department would first conduct a field investigation to determine the target of the crusade, their cultivation level, record it, and then assign the level of the mission.
As for why they didn’t kill the Black Armored Ox when they were already there, it was, of course, to leave it for the disciples of the Tianluo Sect. Otherwise, the Tianluo Sect wouldn’t know how many fewer commissions they would receive each month.
To be able to set up a magic circle around the village to protect the villagers, the Tianluo Sect was already very kind. Some sects didn’t care about the life and death of mortals at all. They were even afraid that the Tianluo Sect The demon formation would scare away the demon beast. After confirming the situation, they would leave without doing anything. After all, their disciples had a target to practice on.
“Immortal, it’s getting late. Why don’t you rest for a night and go again at dawn?” The village chief didn’t dare to neglect Ye Yong and had a sincere attitude.
Before his transmigration, Ye Yong had always lived in the city. After his transmigration, he was the young master of the Ye family. He had never experienced the life of a farmer, so he didn’t refuse.
Just like during the new year, the village suddenly became lively.
If it were the original ‘Ye Yong’, he would definitely feel that it was too noisy. If he was in a bad mood, he would directly kill all the villagers with a magic spell. Yes, the original ‘Ye Yong’ was really capable of doing such a thing. In his eyes, mortals were nothing more than ants.
As for Ye Yong, he felt a strange sense of intimacy. He had only seen such a scene on TV before. In big cities, there were many people, but it was always different from this kind of liveliness. Ye Yong couldn’t say what it was exactly. Perhaps it was because everyone in the village knew each other and had an invisible connection, while in big cities, people were basically strangers and kept their distance.
“Please forgive me, Immortal. My place is not as good as an immortal’s cave.” The village chief was old, but he acted like a lackey, nodding and bowing as he invited Ye Yong into his house.
Although Ye Yong wanted to say that the old man didn’t have to be so polite, being too kind as a cultivator would make mortals uncomfortable.
In this world, there was no such thing as equality. Ordinary people didn’t have the capital to negotiate with cultivators. From the way they addressed cultivators as immortals, it could be seen that they truly regarded cultivators as immortals.
The village chief’s house was not bad. It was considered well-off, or rather, the village was not poor. It was clean and not dilapidated.
He respectfully invited Ye Yong to sit down and served him tea. Afterward, the village chief stood to the side and rubbed his hands together in embarrassment.
“If you have anything to say, just say it.” Ye Yong could more or less guess the village chief’s intentions.
“It’s like this. I would like to ask the immortal to take a look at the children in our village and see if any of them have the potential to cultivate.”
As expected.
Ye Yong wasn’t surprised. Cultivation was about defying the heavens and changing one’s fate. Mortals who couldn’t cultivate had short lifespans and were prone to illness. It was difficult for children in the countryside to make a name for themselves. Most of they lived ordinary inaction lives. But if they could cultivate, it would be different.
The saying goes, “When one person achieves the Dao, the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.” If a village could produce a cultivator, it would be even more impressive than producing a top scholar.
In fact, even a cultivator at the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage, if they didn’t get deeply involved in the world of cultivators and stayed in the mortal world, would still be highly respected.
They could casually find a small town or village to stay in, and a group of people would treat them like ancestors.
However, once cultivators started cultivating and experienced the benefits of their bodies becoming stronger and their lifespans increasing, it was difficult for them to be satisfied with this. Almost all of them wanted to go further. Therefore, cultivators died every day, and new ones were born every day.
Ye Yong originally didn’t plan to spend reversal points on passersby beside himself and the female lead, but the old village chief’s eyes were filled with longing, which moved him a little.
Because Ye Yong was once a mortal too. It was just that after he transmigrated, he had a system and started in the Ye family, so his starting point was high. If he had transmigrated into a villager, what would the result have been?
“Okay, gather them all together tonight, and I’ll take a look.”
After receiving Ye Yong’s reply, the village chief was very excited. He even forgot to say goodbye and rushed out of the house.
Then, Ye Yong heard the cheers of the villagers outside.
He had only agreed to help them check their potential, not to take them to the sect to cultivate. Even if he took a step back, it was still uncertain whether they had the qualification to cultivate.
However, at the very least, he had given them hope.
Without interrupting the villagers’ joy, Ye Yong began to search for items that could check potential in the system store.
With his current cultivation level, he couldn’t do what those great experts in the novels could do, which was to discover a cultivation genius in a crowd with a single glance. He needed an item to assist him.
There were many items that could check potential.
There were Dharma-like items, such as [Chigantong] and [Xiangantong], but the reversal points required were not cheap. After searching around, Ye Yong chose an item called the Potential Detector, which only cost 50 reversal points
He took it out and saw that it was a monocular with a mysterious familiarity to it.
This wasn’t a Potential Detector, it was a Combat Detector, right?
After wearing it, do I still have to tell the villagers, ‘Humph, is your fighting power only five?’
It was a pity that there were no pictures when he bought it, only the name and the required reversal point. If he had known that it was such a showy thing, Ye Yong would definitely not have bought it.
“Forget it, if someone asks, just say it’s a custom-made magic weapon.” There’s no refund, so that’s all he can do.
———
At night, Ye Yong put on his monocular, stood at the entrance of the village chief’s house, and under the expectant gaze of the villagers, his gaze swept across the children who had gathered around.
The youngest one was just born, and the oldest one was 18, with both boys and girls.
If it weren’t for their original bloodline, or gene mutation, or inheritance from ancient times, it would be difficult for mortals to have the aptitude to cultivate immortals.
Out of more than 100 children, only 2 had aptitude, both of whom had low-grade spiritual roots.
Despite this, the villagers were still very happy to hear the news. At least low-grade spiritual roots could become cultivators.
Ye Yong also pointed out a clear path for them. He wrote down the most basic body-building method, clang iron bone and juling body, and the herbs needed. He asked the villagers to build their bodies later. After their bodies were built , they could find a sect to learn from. If everything went smoothly, they would be able to produce two cultivators in more than ten years.
The villagers knew that Ye Yong came from Tianluo Sect, a top sect that looked down on low-grade spiritual roots. However, they were already very grateful that Ye Yong could tell them so much and didn’t dare to ask for more. thanked the immortal and didn’t leave until Ye Yong went into the house. They congratulated the families of the two children.
One of the two children was 12 years old and the other was 13 years old. They came from poor families. When they learned that they could cultivate, they were very excited and proud. Their families were beaming with joy and said that they would have a banquet in the next two days.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Go back quickly and don’t disturb the immortal’s rest.” Finally, the village chief spoke, and the crowd dispersed. However, the entire village was filled with joy.

——In the sky
“He has a good personality and doesn’t have the airs of a cultivator.” Liang Xiaorou, who was watching everything on the flying instrument, praised Ye Yong.
Liang Xiaorou felt that if it were someone else who possessed the seven-colored foundation and such good sound and painting talent, their nose would definitely be pointing up to the sky. Ye Yong was only 18 years old and was neither arrogant nor impetuous. Not to mention people his age, even those who were older might not be able to do what Ye Yong did.
“No wonder he was able to pass the assessment of the Sound and Painting Hall.” Liang Xiaorou became more and more curious about Ye Yong. “The lens he hung in front of his eyes is very strange. Is it a magic weapon to test potential?”
In the higher sky, Yi Xi looked at the village chief’s house where Ye Yong was, and his eyes were almost bursting out. “As expected of Junior Brother Ye, he’s so easy-going even when facing mortals. Ah, my heart.. . can’t take it anymore. I have to go out for a walk and cool down. If I can’t control my emotions and rush down, it’ll be troublesome.”
The nearby cultivators who had followed, the female cultivators needless to say, had similar reactions to Yi Xi. The male cultivators were not convinced, because compared to those arrogant and despotic family young masters in the sect, Ye Yong was simply a clear stream . It would be a lifelong regret to miss out on such a thigh.
