Just Wanting to Live a Good Life but Surpassing the Protagonist – 15 Reforging the Body

Qin Family

Qin Shimeng failed to win back Young Master Ye Yong’s heart. This made the entire Qin family annoyed. From the elders to the servants, they all felt that it was Qin Shimeng’s fault.

She had been so cold to him in the past, but now she wanted to win him back but was powerless?

Not only the Qin family, but even many people in the Great Zhou Dynasty thought that it was Qin Shimeng’s fault. After all, ‘Ye Yong’ had done a very good job in creating a perfect image of himself to the outside world. He had both super high talent and a friendly personality. On the other hand, Qin Shimeng was a cold and even heartless woman.

However, the current Qin Shimeng had no time to care about those gossips. After obtaining the Icy Heart Jade Body Immortal Technique, she had completely immersed herself in the great benefits brought by this wonderful technique.

In one night, Qin Shimeng officially broke through from the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment stage to the sixth layer.

Without the constraints of marriage and advancing further with her cultivation, Qin Shimeng felt that this life was like a dream. She was in an extremely good mood and continuously circulated the heart technique to consolidate her cultivation.

“Miss, Miss! Something’s wrong!” At this moment, a personal maid barged into the back mountain where Qin Shimeng was cultivating.

Qin Shimeng was not the kind of eldest lady with a bad temper who liked to kill people indiscriminately. She absorbed the last trace of spiritual energy into her Qi sea, adjusted her circulation for a week, and opened her eyes to look at the nervous maid .

“What’s the matter? Why are you so flustered?”

“The Ye family, Young Master Ye Yong, he…”

“He’s here again?” Qin Shimeng frowned slightly.

“No, he abolished his cultivation!”

“What!?” Even Qin Shimeng, who was as smart as ice and snow, couldn’t have expected that Ye Yong would actually abolish his cultivation.

What on earth is he thinking???

“Many people are now saying that it is because Miss Qin broke Young Master Ye Yong’s heart that led Young Master Ye Yong to act so extremely and recklessly.”

“That bastard…” Qin Shimeng had just uttered her words when she suddenly felt that Ye Yong did not need to use his own future in exchange for others’ insignificant blame towards her. Could it be that he really wanted to make a statement , to prove that he would not pester her anymore?

Qin Shimeng’s thoughts were a little confused. If it were before, she would have been very happy to hear this news, but now she and Ye Yong were no longer bound by marriage. Ye Yong had also given her the extremely precious secret cultivation method. It was all thanks to Ye Yong that she was able to break through the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage so quickly…

“How is he now?”

“I don’t know either. I came to tell Miss as soon as I heard the news. The master and the elders will definitely receive the news soon. They will summon Miss by then…” The maid’s words had just finished when the voice of a steward came from the foot of the mountain: “The head of the family has ordered Miss Shimeng to quickly go to the meeting hall.”

Qin Shimeng sighed herself. She knew that she would definitely be questioned by her elders. At that moment, she felt very tired and guilty. She blamed. If she had not made such a request to Ye Yong yesterday, even if it was just a test and not intentional, would such a calamity not have happened?

It was not difficult to rebuild the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if Ye Yong’s talent was high, it would take him at least several years to return to his current seventh level of Foundation Establishment. By then, those of them whose original cultivation was not as good as his would have long surpassed him. It was even possible that Ye Yong’s self-waste cultivation would damage his spiritual field, causing his cultivation to be limited and leaving him with sequelae.

Recalling Ye Yong’s words yesterday, “We two no longer owe each other anything,” “If fate allows, we will meet again,” Qin Shimeng’s heart felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

———

“Yong’er… Alas, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Why are you doing this to yourself?” Ye Yong’s beautiful and gentle grandmother, Lin Wei, looked at Ye Yong, who had become a ‘cripple,’ with a face full of sorrow.

There was no way. Ye Yong’s self-cultivation to rebuild his foundation could not be hidden from these Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation powerhouses. It would be more accurate to say that he had spent the whole night cramming cultivation knowledge. The next morning, on a whim, he started to shatter his spiritual field and Qi sea. He was discovered the next second.

After all, the moment the spiritual field and Qi sea shattered, the leakage of spiritual energy was quite serious. It was difficult not to attract the attention of powerhouses.

“Grandmother, I did not do this for Miss Qin. I just wanted to rebuild my foundation so that I can go further in the future. As long as Grandmother is willing to believe me, I will be able to recover to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment within a few months. I might even be able to break through to the eighth level.”

Ye Yong, who had become a ‘cripple,’ obviously did not have much credibility now.

The elders also looked at him with complicated expressions. However, most of them felt regret. Not a single one of them was gloating.

The advantage of a villain was that even though they were brainless, their families were relatively united. It was precisely because of this unity that they would give their lives for each other. If the protagonist had become a cripple, it was estimated that a bunch of elders would have jumped out to mock him.

Ye Yong sighed inwardly. He did not intend to explain too much to his cheap mother and the elders: “Yong’er has a small request. I hope to obtain…”

Ye Yong named several spiritual medicines that he needed to reforge his body. Among them was an extremely precious five-grade spiritual medicine that the entire Ye family had only three of in stock. Although he could buy it in the shop using reversal points, he could save as much as he could.

The elders looked at each other. Since Ye Yong did not seem crazy, they could only believe his words and treat a dead horse as a living horse.

As the saying goes, even though villain families are brainless, they are united. They are also very doting to their young ones.

Not long after, all the things Ye Yong needed were sent to his residence. Lin Wei wanted to accompany Ye Yong and see what he was doing, but Ye Yong persuaded her to leave.

Only Wu Xue was left in the room. Ye Yong opened the isolation formation.

Seeing that the young master had really become an ordinary person, Wu Xue was very shocked. If she were a cultivator, she would definitely not have self-destructed her future.

“Is there anything I can help you with, Young Master?” Because Ye Yong did not have any cultivation now, his strength was at most similar to that of an ordinary man. Wu Xue’s fear of him had decreased slightly.

Even her favorability had increased by more than 10 points, changing to -25, slight fear, and the reversal points had also increased by more than 2,000, becoming 15,000.

However, because he wanted to forge a divine body, some spiritual herbs that were thousands of years old were very rare. He even needed to use immortal herbs, which the Ye family did not have. Moreover, ordinary medicine jars could not stand the medicinal power of the spiritual herbs and immortal herbs and would explode. Therefore, he spent 9,000 reversal points to exchange for a special medicine jar made of immortal herbs and spiritual medicines.

Fortunately, immortal herbs did not have any age requirements. As long as they met the requirements, they would do. More than ten portions were only sold for more than 6,000 reversal points. If there were more 0s, Ye Yong did not know who to cry to.

Because there was something like a storage ring, taking out a medicine jar out of thin air would not make Wu Xue feel strange.

A mid-level spirit fire source for refining pills was placed under the medicine jar. After adding the spiritual herbs needed in the early stage, everything was ready.

“I’m going to reforge my body now, but because the process of reforging my body is very painful and uncomfortable, I won’t be able to add the spiritual herbs in order myself. You stay here and watch. When I say to add something, you add it.” Ye Yong introduced the names of those herbs one by one.

Wu Xue had never done such a thing before. She was very worried that she would not be able to do it well: “Young Master, why don’t you let Madam come?”

“No.” Ye Yong shook his head firmly. He had self-cultivation and rebuilt his foundation. The method he used was very profound. Ordinary cultivators would not know about it. Moreover, he also intended to reforge his body to set an example for Wu Xue: “Only you can help me.”

Since the young master had said so, Wu Xue did not dare to decline anymore. She quickly adjusted her breathing and perked up her spirits, afraid that she would faint from being too nervous.

However, the next second, her face started to turn red, and her breathing became a little stifled. Because Ye began to take off his clothes, although he was a little blocked by the screen from her position, she could only see Ye Yong’s strong upper body, but it still made her blush and her heart beat faster.

“You, Young Master, is it not good for you to take off your clothes?”

“Wearing it will affect the absorption of the medicinal liquid. Not to mention, I’m rebuilding my body. I have to wash away the forged one first. The process will be even more difficult.”

“Wash away the forged body?” Although Wu Xue did not have the talent to become a martial artist or cultivator, she still had some basic knowledge about body forging because she had once yearned to become stronger.

It was unheard of to wash away the forged body and reforge the foundation after body forging.

“Alright, just watch from the side. When the time comes, I will tell you what to add.”

“Umm…” Wu Xue blushed and lowered her head, while the naked Ye Yong also jumped into the medicine tank at this time.
