I Just Want to Live a Good Life, but I Surpassed the Protagonist – 79 Teachings
While Yi Bai and the others were lamenting that Ye Yong’s battle was clean and smooth, and was even better than the average Crystallization stage initial-level cultivator,
Ye Yong’s expression became a little strange.
First, Liang Xiaorou’s favorability increased inexplicably by 8 points, reaching 34, making Ye Yong wonder if she was nearby. Then, he personally killed an ox.
Before he crossed over, let alone an ox, Ye Yong had never even killed a chicken.
However, it wasn’t to the point of causing him any psychological burden. After all, he had read so many novels. After crossing over to this kind of world, he was somewhat mentally prepared to kill. At most, he would just feel his heart beat faster and be uncomfortable with the strong smell of blood in the air.
The monsters’ flesh and blood were great tonics, but if the monster energy contained in them hadn’t dissipated before they were cooked and eaten, mortals would get sick at the least and die at the worst. As for cultivators, it was fine as long as the difference in cultivation wasn’t too great. Generally speaking, it would only be beneficial because spiritual energy could directly dissolve the remaining evil spirit.
Ye Yong didn’t know if the black-armored ox’s meat was delicious or not. He only knew that it had a lot of materials on it. For example, its cowhide could be used to make defensive equipment with good defense, and its cowhide could be used as a material for refining pills.
Shaking off the blood on the sword, Ye Yong put the black-armored ox into his storage bag.
The villagers were amazed to see the demon cow, which was originally like a small hill and would shake the ground when it walked, being killed by Ye Yong with a palm, a fist, and a sword.
Although they didn’t see the legendary immortality, this kind of fighting method really opened their eyes. Ordinary people couldn’t do it at all.
“Immortal, may I ask if it’s safe now?” As a martial artist, the village chief once had a heart that yearned to become stronger. Seeing Ye Yong easily kill the powerful black-armored ox, his martial arts heart, which he had originally thought had cooled down, started to beat again.
It turned out that it wasn’t that he had become open-minded, but that after returning to the village to become the village chief, he had not encountered any more danger. Without the spur of danger, his heart gradually became numb and sinking . But he was already old and not suitable to continue cultivating. He could only place his hopes on the younger generation.
“Well, under normal circumstances, there won’t be any more black-armored oxen, so you can rest assured. If there are any other monsters appearing, you know what to do.”
The village chief nodded repeatedly and took out a cloth bag from his arms: “Thank you, Immortal, for your help. This is a small token of our appreciation…”
“No need.” Ye Yong was not Long Tian. He was filthy rich, and judging from the clinking of metal coming from the cloth bag, it was clearly filled with coins, which he needed even less: “Keep it to buy medicinal herbs for those two children. The path of cultivation is not easy. If they want to stand out and defy the heavens, they must persevere. Also, don’t become bad people.”
“The Immortal’s words are wise. Did you two hear the Immortal’s teachings?”
The two children hurriedly knelt down: “We did!”
“My task here is complete. May we meet again if fate allows.” Ye Yong mounted his small magic carpet and slowly disappeared into the horizon, while the villagers knelt on the ground and bowed in respect.

Ye Yong’s assistance in assessing their aptitude and giving them advice was not a show for Liang Xiaorou and the others. It was simply something that came to mind.
The world of cultivators was full of temptations. If one’s Dao heart was not firm, it was easy to stray into the path of demons and devils. This was especially true for rogue cultivators who lacked background and resources. Becoming a bad person was far easier than being a good person. Seeing other cultivators robbing and making money so quickly, it was difficult not to waver and stick to one’s beliefs.
After all, it was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. If others were doing it and you were not, unless you had exceptional talent, your cultivation would fall behind, and if you fell behind, you would be beaten.
It was tough for rogue cultivators to withstand these pressures and remain virtuous, but there were indeed such rogue cultivators in the world. Therefore, even if their cultivation was not high, their reputation would not be low. Sometimes, morality was also a kind of strength.
Continuing westward, Ye Yong did not return to the Tianluo Sect. As mentioned before, he was going to find the materials for the gift he wanted to give to Mu Qingyin.
Ye Yong held a map in his hand, but he was actually looking at the electronic version in his mind.
The electronic version of the Eastern Continent region map had a positioning function, making it more convenient than a paper map. Its accuracy was even more impressive. It only cost 100 reversal points, and it included place names and everything, except for an enemy display function. However, as one’s cultivation level increased to a certain extent, the distance of one’s divine sense would also increase, allowing one to ‘see’ clearly within a certain range. Therefore, the enemy display function was not a necessity.
Ye Yong’s destination was Lingyou Mountain, which was, yes, the place where the protagonist met Qin Shimeng in the novel. The benefactor who raised the protagonist, Uncle Liu, lived in a village nearby.
Speaking of Uncle Liu, he used to be a martial artist, but later his foundation was damaged, and he could only return to the village to live in retirement. One day, he happened to pass by a river and saw a basket with the sound of a baby crying floating downstream. He fished out the basket and found a baby inside. Other than the spirit beast fur wrapped around him, the baby only had a jade pendant on his body. The jade pendant was ordinary and not worth much money. Uncle Liu did not have any children, so he took the abandoned baby home and raised him with great care.
That’s right, this abandoned baby was the protagonist, Long Tian.
Ye Yong remembered that not long after Long Tian found the Bai Yuzhi to alleviate Uncle Liu’s old illness, he joined the Tianluo Sect. Uncle Liu, after taking the Bai Yuzhi and returning from the brink of death, did not live for long. A few months later, he and his entire village were trampled to death by a rampaging demonic beast.
Long Tian was deeply saddened when he received the news. He returned to the village to erect a monument for Uncle Liu and accidentally discovered some clues. It turned out that the demonic beast rampage was not accidental but was caused by a certain demonic beast rampage .
As for what happened later, it must have been Long Tian flattening that demonic sect after he grew up. However, that was a long time later.
Ye Yong knew what would happen in the future, but even if he wanted to help the protagonist, he did not dare to. What if the protagonist repaid his favor and treated him like a brother? What Ye Yong feared most was becoming the protagonist’s enemy or being treated as his brother. Neither ending would be good.
Like Li Junxia, a friend of the protagonist who could survive until the end, there were very few.
In any case, Ye Yong did not dare to bet his life on it. Being a passerby was the safest path in his opinion.

After flying for two hours, Ye Yong could see a continuous mountain range in the distance. Without a doubt, that was his destination, Lingyou Mountain.
Lingyou Mountain was an ancient forest with abundant resources. It sustained many civilians and rogue cultivators, and some sect disciples would also enter it to search for what they needed.
Of course, where there were many resources, there were also many spirit beasts and demonic beasts. The deeper one went, the stronger the spirit beasts and demonic beasts became.
As someone who had read the script, Ye Yong knew Lingyou Mountain very well. He knew that 99.9% of cultivators did not know the secret, which was that in the deepest part of Lingyou Mountain, there was a fairy beast Qilin sleeping.
The Qilin was an auspicious beast that brought Fuze to the land. Human needs were endless, and one of the reasons why Lingyou Mountain had been able to remain prosperous for so many years was the presence of the Qilin. Of course, even if the Qilin left, Lingyou Mountain would not become barren. At most, the growth rate of spirit plants would slow down, and the yield would decrease.
Ye Yong currently had no thoughts about the sleeping Qilin. Not to mention that it would only appear in the middle of the story. To see it, one had to convince or defeat a series of powerful spirit beasts and demonic beasts and then break a profound Prohibition.
Those guardian spirit beasts and demonic beasts had all benefited from the auspicious spirit emitted by the Qilin, and as the Qilin was a fairy beast, they also deeply respected it. Therefore, they voluntarily protected the sleeping Qilin.
The cultivation levels of the spirit beasts and demonic beasts were almost all Void Creation, and there were even a few Great Ascension and Semi-Saint. With Ye Yong’s Foundation Establishment cultivation, how could he possibly go and see the Qilin? Anyway, he would just get the materials for the gift on the outskirts and leave. He would not think about those unrealistic things.
