I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character Chapter 23: What Layer of Qi Refinement Realm?

News that shocked the younger generation of the cultivation families appeared- Ye Mao had killed a Crystallization Realm 8th Layer Wild Snake with his underlings!

A wild snake was full of treasures- its blood could be used to forge physiques, its scale could be used to make armors, its bones could be used to make weapons, and its flesh was considered pretty good spiritual at.

Ye Mao felt pleased as he felt all the gazes of worship and admiration from the people around him.

At that mont, he saw Ye Yong hurriedly walk into the hall. Stupid little cousin, feel the greatness of your elder brother.

Sure, killing the snake might not have had anything to do with him, but his status was there, so the credit for doing so would naturally be given to him. After all, there wasnt anyone dumb enough to praise Ye Maos underlings.

Did you kill this wild snake in Spirit Phantom Mountain? Ye Yong asked. He felt as if his heart had been hit by a hamr.

Yeah, let tell you, at the ti

Did you guys get help from a young man?

So- sowhat. He- he didnt really help much, Ye Mao said. He was confused as to how ye Yong knew that a young man had helped him. He had just returned and his underlings had stuck with him the whole ti, waiting for the elders rewards. As such, there was no one to tell Ye Yong what had happened. So how does he know about the young man?

You didnt offend him, did you? Ye Yong asked, looking at Ye Mao with terrifying eyes.

Ye Yong got even more nervous when Ye Mao didnt answer him imdiately. I went out of my way to cancel my engagent with my fairy wife to avoid collision with the male lead. And yet, now that those two didnt et and I got the chance to be with the fairy wife again, you freaking minor character just had to get in touch with Long Tian!

Ye Yong charged over and lifted Ye Mao up. I asked whether or not you offended him! You better tell that you werent thinking of monopolizing everything and tried to kill him!

Of course not! What kind of person do you think I am? Ye Mao was shocked. Isnt he just a mortal now? How co he can lift , a cultivator at the 4th layer of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, up so easily? And I dont even have the ability to resist?

Are you sure? Ye Yong asked, looking at Ye Maos Foundation Establishnt Realm underlings.

The underlings hurriedly nodded their heads and explained what had happened. Upon hearing the truth, the younger generation no longer admired Ye Mao. Anyone with a brain could tell that Ye Mao had underestimated the wild snake and got many of his underlings killed. He was about to flee when he got lucky and t a cultivator with a beast-avoiding incense on him, which gave him the chance to kill the wild snake.

Ye Mao wanted to beat Ye Yong up. He hadnt been planning to tell the true and was ready to give himself all the credit. He was going to say sothing like how he had devised an amazing plan and calculated the wild snakes attacks and had commanded the two Crystallization Realm underlings to defeat the wild snake.

And now, because Ye Yong had scared them, Ye Maos Foundation Establishnt Realm underlings spat everything out. At that mont, Ye Mao wished that they had just died at the Spirit Phantom Mountain.

Thats fine. It wont really count as offending him, Ye Yong sighed in relief, putting Ye Mao down. Long Tian got the White Jade Fungus he wanted and even got a hundred low-grade spirit stones, so his trip wasnt in vain. It shouldnt make him hold a grudge against the Ye Family.

You better watch your behavior the next ti you et him. I dont care if you get yourself killed, but dont drag the whole family down with you, Ye Yong warned. He left without explaining further, leaving the crowd confused.

Who the hell is that guy? Why does Ye Yong seem to be so scared of him? Ye Mao didnt dwell on it for long. He stared at Ye Yongs back angrily. If it wasnt because your parents spoil you and even my own grandfather think highly of you, then I would have cut your limbs for your disrespectful behavior and teach you what it ans to respect your elders.

Be arrogant while you still can! When I break through to the 5th layer of the Foundation Establishnt Realm and even the 6th layer, the elders will realize how much of a genius I really am, and you will be finished! Maybe even Qin Shi ng who doesnt care about you will change her mind about .

Ye Mao could only indulge in his fantasies for a short while because he soon heard that Qin Shi ng had broken through the 7th layer of the Foundation Establishnt Realm. This news made him freeze up. Is that woman a monster?

Back in his residence, Ye Yong slowly cald himself down while his face was breaking out in cold sweat.

Too dangerous. Qin Shi ng didnt encounter him, but a minor character from the family made up for it. The worlds consciousness is too scary. This cant do, I need to cultivate and beco stronger quickly.

Ye Yong reached the peak stage of the 10th layer of the Qi Refinent Realm, and he felt that he could start to break through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm.

Ye Yong didnt bother to use the perfect-grade Foundation Establishnt Pill that Qin Shi ng had given him and bought a beyond-grade Foundation Establishnt Pill from the system store.

Because Foundation Establishnt Realm was at the beginning of cultivation, the pills were extrely cheap- even the beyond-grade pill was being sold at a re 20 transcend points. Ye Yong felt that he could buy beyond-grade Foundation Establishnt pills from the system store and sell them if he was ever in dire need of money.

Phew. Everything is ready. I can definitely get a 6-color foundation and maybe even a 7-color one.

The spiritual energy from the Foundation Establishnt Realm had many colors. The number of colors was equivalent to the number of spiritual veins a cultivator had opened and could use. The more spiritual veins one had, the more talented they were. Normal cultivators had 3 spiritual veins open, slightly talented ones had 4, highly talented individuals had 5, extrely talented individuals had 6, and the most amazing genius had 7 spiritual veins.

The male lead, Long Tian, had started with 5 spiritual veins and slowly opened the other 2 using a secret thod.

Ye Yong also had 5 spiritual veins before he had crippled his cultivation. Now that he had the Physique Forging Encyclopedia, he was confident in his ability to get a 6-color foundation.

Ye Yong swallowed the beyond-grade Foundation Establishnt Pill and closed his eyes as he used his knowledge of establishing foundations to establish his foundation.

Open!

When the dicinal effect of the pill appeared, the qi in Ye Yongs body also started to boil. Ye Yong tried to open his spiritual veins, but it was as if he had hit a wall, and he was unable to open his spiritual veins.

Ye Yong was unable to build his foundation even after the dicinal effect of the pill had gone away.

I dont believe this. Ye Yong bought another beyond-grade pill and tried again but got the sa result.

Is it because the divine physique is too strong and there isnt enough spiritual power? Ye Yong pondered for a while and decided to buy a beyond-grade Foundation Establishnt Pill and a beyond-grade Qi Gathering Pill. He swallowed both of them and attempted again.

Bang! It was as if an explosion had occurred within Ye Yongs body. Ye Yong, who was at the 10th layer of the Qi Refinent Realm, broke through- to the 11th layer of the Qi Refinent Realm!

The fuck? Ye Yong couldnt help himself. The Foundation Establishnt Pill didnt do anything, but the Qi Gathering Pill helped him break through- but not to the 1st layer of the Foundation Establishnt Realm and instead to the 11th layer of the Qi Refinent Realm.

There wasnt an 11th layer when I read the novel! Dont give a bug or so shit about being the strongest Qi Refinent Realm cultivator thats at the 5000th layer! I cant afford to wait that long!

Ye Yong tried to calm himself down. After all, anger wouldnt get him anywhere. Ye Yong closed his eyes and swallowed a few more beyond-grade Qi Refinent Pills. He wanted to see what layer of the Qi Refinent Realm he would be able to get to.

10 days later

Mather fother, 20th layer of the Qi Refinent Realm. I spent thousands of transcend points to buy Qi Gathering Pills and almost vomited from taking too much of them. Ye Yong would normally be unable to get to the 20th layer of the Qi Refinent Realm in 10 days even if he had a divine physique, but because he had the system store, he was able to continuously consu beyond-grade Qi Gathering Pills, increasing his cultivation speed by a lot.

Ye Yong spent so more ti getting to the peak stage of the 20th layer of the Qi Refinent Realm. When he did so, he felt that the qi in his body was pretty full, so he thought that he would be able to establish his foundation.

Fortunately, Heaven didnt play another joke on him, and Ye Yong successfully built his foundation. However, he didnt get a 6-color foundation or even a 7-color foundation- he had gotten an 8-color foundation.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, and black.

Translators Notes:

Alright, here we go again. The colors of the rainbows, in Chinese, are , which, in the sa order, translates to red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, and purple. See the problem here? is blue, but its in the 6th place, which is where in English would be indigo for a rainbow. , which is light blue/green (or more often translated as azure), is in 5th place, whereas in English, it would be blue. Anyways, Im sticking to the English version.

My health is good now so Ill be getting back to my normal schedule.
