I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character

Chapter 62: A Pity

After performing for nearly half an hour, and Ye Yong felt that he had used up most of his spiritual energy. The eighth spiritual vein is amazing. Without it, I would probably had to stop the performance halfway through.

This was because playing spiritual music also required spiritual power- it uses the performer’s spiritual power to mobilize the surrounding spiritual energy. It was like a more convenient Spirit Gathering Formation as it doesn’t require any materials.

However, setting up a Spirit Gathering Formation only required a third-grade formation master, while the spiritual music Ye Yong had just played wasn’t something that anyone can handle. If Ye Yong hadn’t bought the [Basic Music Mastery] that allowed him to have rich professional knowledge and touch the threshold of dao in music, and if he didn’t have the eighth spiritual vein to support his spiritual energy consumption, then there was no way he would have been able to mobilize such a large amount of spiritual energy as a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Ye Yong made such a big scene because he not only wanted to establish a noble persona for himself, but also because he wanted to attract the attention of the sect master and other bigwigs of the same level.

The sect master was a powerhouse at the Great Ascension Realm. As long as Ye Yong could make the sect master acknowledge him as someone with promising talent, he wouldn’t need to fear any enemies in the early stages. After all, Great Ascension Realm cultivators were quite formidable even in the middle stages of the novel. Having the sect master’s protection would let Ye Yong feel safe and be at ease.

As Ye Yong stopped playing, many cultivators felt regretful as opportunities for such significant improvements were hard to come by. It just felt so good to be able to freely absorb huge amounts of spiritual energy without using any resorces, pills, or spiritual herbs.

The female cultivators’ eyes were sparkling as they looked at Ye Yong, while the male cultivators secretly felt regretful.

How come I didn’t realize how miraculous music is before? If I had mastered this, then I won’t need to worry about not being able to find a Daoist couple.

Ye Yong’s face was a bit pale- a sign of excessive spiritual energy consumption. Yi Bai and the others was feeling very happy absorbing the spiritual energy as one of them had even broke though, but their heart ached upon seeing Ye Yong’s condition.

“Junior Brother Ye, are you okay?” Yi Bai was the first to reach out to support Ye Yong. I’m not trying to take advantage of him, I’m just caring for him.

So soft… it smells so nice, so fragrant. Should I pretend to be weak and unsteady, and lean on her and bury my face… cough cough, no, I can’t, noble persona, noble persona.

Ye Yong shook his head to show that he was fine, said some beautiful farewell words to those present, and left riding the same flying artifact as Yi Bai.

After Ye Yong left, many female cultivators were still immersed in the beautiful farewell words he had said. He gave us an opportunity to break through and thanked us for being willing to listen to his performance, even though he had consumed so much spiritual energy that he could barely stand… How could there be such a gentle, humble, and generous man?

Although some male cultivators hated Ye Yong eve n more and just thought that he loved to show off and was too hypocritical and fake, there were also male cultivators who truly admired Ye Yong.

After all, if it were them, they wouldn’t offer a group of strangers an opportunity to break through if they didn’t get any benefits.

Besides, there were over 20k people here, with some of them at the Golden Core Realm. Being able to mobilize the enough spiritual energy that over 20,000 cultivators could freely absorb was something that could probably only be done with a rank 3 large scale Spirit Gathering Formation.

Setting up a grade 3 large scale Spirit Gathering Formation required a large amount of formation materials along with several skilled third-grade array masters spending several hours to make. And yet, Ye Yong was able to do it alone. His ability shouldn’t be underestimated.

However, the majority of male cultivators saw Ye Yong as a support that could accelerate others’ cultivation and had weak combat power. Aside from his face that can barely compare to mine, he has no other advantages, so I still have hope. It’s just that the women around me haven’t noticed yet.

…

“Thanks to him, I broke through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.” Long Tian was at the back of the crowd. He had happened to come out of the magical jade space today. His cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment and was just a little bit short ofperfection. He had been about to go to the Contribution Hall to exchange spiritual stones for spiritual herbs to help him break through to the 7th layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm when he heard other disciples say that Ye Yong was going to perform a song.

Long Tian originally hadn’t planned to come, but the Fallen Immortal Elder said it wouldn’t hurt to come and listen to Ye Yong’s music and that it might even give him some insights.

And like that, Long Tian agreed and came to watch. He hadn’t expected Ye Yong to give him an opportunity to break through. Not only did he manage to break through to the 7th layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but he had also absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, strengthening his foundation. He also absorbed enough spiritual energy to reach the middle of the 7th layer o the Foundation Establishment Realm, equivalent to him cultivating for about a month in his jade space with resources.

Well, the reason he was even able to absorb so much spiritual energy in such a short time was because of the auxiliary art he was cultivating, [Origin Spirit Absorption]. Normal cultivators wouldn’t be able to absorb that much spiritual energy in such a short time.

“This young man named Ye Yong is really unfathomable.” the Fallen Immortal Elder sighed in awe.

Long Tian’s astonishment had also not yet subsided. Although he was also at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he didn’t think he could mobilize as much spiritual energy as Ye Yong had.

While it was partially due to the fact that the New Wind Valley was next to the spiritual vein of the Heavenly Luo Sect and had an abundance of spiritual energy, it was not easy to keep the spiritual energy abundant with over 20,000 cultivators all cultivating at the same time and place. Fortunately, he cultivates music and arts. If he cultivate the sword…

As if knowing what Long Tian was thinking, the Fallen Immortal Elder said, “Don’t underestimate music and art. In the hands of powerful cultivators, music and art can kill without a trace. It’s just that there aren’t enough talented people in this lower world, which lead to their decline. Of the 3000 paths of dao, as long as one walked through one path steadily, no path is weak.”

Long Tian listened seriously and reaffirming his desire to become stronger.

…

What Ye Yong did shocked the entire Heavenly Luo Sect. A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator using music to mobilize enough spiritual energy for 20k people to practice at the same time? Even novels didn’t dare to write such things.

However, there were indeed 20k people who experienced it for themselves and were able to testify for Ye Yong, so even those who didn’t believe had to face reality and recognize it to be true.

In the sect master’s cave, a middle-aged man with handsome features and a tall figure was compiling Earth grade cultivation arts. Suddenly, an immortal crane walked in, reporting on what had happened in New Wind Valley.

“Oh? He could do that much?” The man put down his pen, his eyes flickering. “In that case, he is indeed worthy of attention. It’s a pity that except for Mu Qing Yin, no one in our sect can teach him music and arts. That girl Mu Qing Yin has a bit of a strange personality and shuts herself in her residence all day long… Let’s just observe for a while first. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll go request Half Saint Liu Chuan to teach him. If his talent is indeed extremely outstanding, he might even become Liu Chuan’s disciple.”

“You seem to think favorably of him,” the immortal crane said.

“A 7-color foundation is enough to be valued. It’s just a pity that he isn’t interested in cultivating the sword; otherwise, I wouldn’t mind taking him in as my disciple.”

…

Ye Yong returned to his residence with Yi Bai’s help.

Yi Bai was intending to continue to take good care of Ye Yong, planning to wipe his sweat and help him get on the bed to rest.

Ye Yong, who wanted to maintain his image, was also considering whether or not to continue pretending to be unwell and be unable to refuse. Even if something happened later, he could say it was Yi Bai who took the lead. Before he could make a decision, the two painting scrolls floated in. Yes, paintings scrolls.

After entering the room, they hung themselves on the wall and unfolded themselves, and two beautiful women, Hua Ming and Hua Xin, walked out of the paintings.

“Lil bro, are you alright?”

“Don’t you know that forcibly mobilizing such a large amount of spiritual energy with your current cultivation could cause a backlash and damage your divine soul?”

Ye Yong understood that Mu Qing Yin must have sent them to check on him. After all, without Mu Qing Yin’s orders, they wouldn’t be able to leave the assessment house. Besides, the house had a concealment formation, which even Great Ascension Realm powerhouse couldn’t peak through using their divine senses unless they forcibly broke through it.

Well, wanting to peak and being able to peak was a different matter. Even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could easily break through a middle-grade concealment formation like that one.

“My divine soul is naturally stronger than normal cultivators. I’ll be fine after resting for a bit.”

Although Hua Ming and Hua Xin each had their own advantages and had the number advantage, they were still only souls, so how could they compare to the fragrance of a real, living senior sister?

In order to avoid Mu Qing Yin using spiritual energy to probe his body and find out that he was at the 11th layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm and had 8 spiritual veins, Ye Yong stopped pretending to be weak and strengthless and quickly stood up.
