Just Wanting to Live Well but Surpassing the Protagonist – 16 Favorability Increase

“This is even more painful than what I imagined!” Ye Yong immersed all parts of his body below his neck in the boiling medicine juice, roaring in pain.

‘System, start the timer for me.’

‘Started.’

Although the system would not directly provide assistance to Ye Yong, it was no problem to time something.

According to the Body Forging Chapter of the Body Forging Manual, Ye Yong had to soak in the medicine juice for at least two hours, which was four hours.

It was as if he was being boiled in human flesh soup. His entire face was flushed red and purple from the heat, and there was not a single part of his body that was not in pain.

Every once in a while, the system would remind him, and then Ye Yong would have Wu Xue add a specific spirit medicine.

After the spirit medicine was added, the medicine juice became very terrifying, bubbling constantly in black and red.

Wu Xue looked at Ye Yong’s painful face twitching and hurriedly said, “Young Master, stop, quickly get out of the medicine tank.”

“The pain of a mere mortal body is nothing to worry about! When the time comes to temper the soul, the pain to be endured will be much more intense than this!” Ye Yong almost roared, “To become stronger, this is a necessary path!”

Wu Xue bit her lip. She was deeply aware of how incompetent and helpless a woman was as an ordinary person, or even below the level of an ordinary person, with no power to bind a chicken.

She also wanted to become stronger, no matter how hard or tiring it was.

Ye Yong already had a great future, although she did not know what had gotten into him, but the courage to abolish cultivation and start over again had indeed shocked and impressed Wu Xue.

Without dissuading the young master any further, Wu Xue’s eyes showed seriousness and determination. As long as the young master said to add any spirit medicine, she would immediately throw it into the medicine tank. At this moment, she was willing to believe that the young master would succeed.

After putting the last spirit medicine into the medicine tank, Wu Xue found that the young master’s handsome face became even more distorted, in extreme pain. The medicine juice in the medicine tank also made a terrifying gurgling sound, as if it would explode at any moment.

The skin below Ye Yong’s neck also cracked, and blood could even be seen seeing out.

“Young master…” Wu Xue had just shouted out when she hurriedly covered her mouth, afraid that she would disturb Ye Yong.

She did not know how long had passed, but Wu Xue heard the gurgling sound subside, and the young master’s expression changed from pain to relaxation. Her tense little face also relaxed a lot.

She felt that the young master might have succeeded. She saw that the black and red medicine juice in the medicine tank was now only red, which should be the blood that had seeped out just now. The skin that had cracked before had also been repaired , becoming smooth and delicate, almost as delicate as her own fair skin. After all, there was still a big difference between the bodies of a cultivator and a mortal.

She was so embarrassed.

Wu Xue looked away hurriedly, but she could not help but wanted to take a few more glances at Ye Yong, because she felt that Ye Yong was different from before, but she could not say exactly where he was different.

Half an hour later, Ye Yong slowly opened his eyes.

There was no divine light emitted from his eyes like what was described in those fantasy novels. They were just ordinary, at most looking spirited and particularly energetic.

“Young Master, have you succeeded?” Wu Xue brought a bath towel, ready to wipe Ye Yong’s body at any time.

“Yes, it almost killed me.” The pain Ye Yong had endured just now was much more intense than what he had shown on the surface. It was as if countless ants had burrowed into his skin and invaded his bone marrow. If it were Not for the fact that the human body had its limits, Ye Yong could have distorted his facial features to the heavens.

“Then… what kind of body has the young master forged?” Wu Xue remembered the common body forging techniques: Steel Bones, Spirit Body…

Steel Bones were more suitable for martial arts, while Spirit Body was more suitable for using spells.

There were also some special ones, but the core was still centered around martial arts and spells. It was just that different physiques had different advantages.

“This is a physique that has been lost for a long time. I can tell you, but you must keep it a secret, even if it means death! Are you prepared to listen?” Ye Yong looked at Wu Xue very seriously.

“I’d rather not know. If I, a weak mortal, were to know the young master’s secret, if I were to be captured and subjected to some obfuscation method, I would definitely expose it very quickly.” Wu Xue was very self-aware, or rather, she did not believe that she could keep the secret, after all, she was just a mortal.

“You are not weak. As I said before, as long as you believe in me, I can let you forge your body, cultivate martial arts to sainthood, and do things like pluck leaves to cut stars and split mountains with a single sword. “

Ye Yong’s words indeed made Wu Xue’s heart skip a beat, but she did not believe that she had that potential: “Young Master, don’t make fun of me.”

“I’m serious. When I went out yesterday, I already prepared body forging spirit medicine for you. As long as you nod your head, I can forge your body immediately.” Ye Yong stood up from the medicine tank, and Wu Xue hurriedly turned her head away.

However, seeing that Ye Yong did not seem to be joking, Wu Xue’s breathing could not help but stop. Could she really become stronger? Farewell to the fate of a mortal? She still did not quite believe it, did not dare to believe it , and did not have confidence in herself. She was afraid that she would not be able to meet expectations, and failure would make her feel like she was going to die.

Despair was never terrible. What was terrible was seeing hope, but before the flames could light up the surroundings, everything returned to darkness.

“Young Master, it is more important to recover your cultivation. Wu Xue is not in a hurry.”

“Alright.” Ye Yong nodded. Wu Xue’s body tempering requires a certain amount of spiritual energy.

Even if he re-tempered his body into a Xiantian, the current Ye Yong was only dozens of times stronger than a warrior, no, and he could only fight a Foundation Establishment mid-level cultivator 55 times, which was far from enough.

Ye Yong’s spiritual veins were now blocked, and he didn’t have any spiritual energy, so he couldn’t perfectly help Wu Xue temper her body. After all, Wu Xue didn’t have a system, and there was no reversal point that could be exchanged for some necessary things at a critical moment.

Therefore, it was very important to increase his cultivation now and return to the Foundation Establishment stage.

“Young Master, please put on your clothes quickly, don’t catch a cold.” Wu Xue didn’t dare to look at Ye Yong’s side at all, and hurriedly handed over the bath towel.

Only then did Ye Yong realize that he was not wearing anything. Because he had only been thinking about letting Wu Xue cultivate just now, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, ignoring his surroundings. He was a little embarrassed and quickly wrapped himself up.

However, Wu Xue was Ye Yong’s maid after all, and she quickly retrieved clothes for Ye Yong and wanted to help Ye Yong put them on.

How could Ye Yong let her help him? He hurriedly asked Wu Xue to pull up the screen and go out, and he changed his clothes himself.

After Ye Yong finished putting on his clothes, Wu Xue felt that the young master was different from before. The difference exuded from the inside out. Maybe the young master had obtained some secret recipe and tempered some special physique? Wu Xue didn’t know , or maybe it was because she felt that the young master was not as terrible as she thought, so she felt that he was different?

Ye Yong could wear clothes by himself, but not his hair. Because Ye Yong had only crossed over for a day, he was not an ancient person and didn’t know how to tie his hair, so he sat down in front of the bronze mirror and asked Wu Xue to do it for him.

While Wu Xue was helping to comb his hair, Ye Yong opened the system page, ready to exchange for mental cultivation methods and martial arts skills, and found that there was a new change in favorability.

Going in to take a look, Wu Xue’s favorability changed from -25 to 5, and the slight fear turned into a little respect. Yes, positive numbers. During the body tempering period, it unknowingly rose by 30 points.

Looking at his own reversal points, which were originally more than 5,000, had become 1W3, Ye Yong couldn’t be happier. This almost made up for the reversal points he spent on buying elixir and immortal medicine and the special energy consumption during body tempering .

Yesterday, when Qin Shimeng reminded him unintentionally, Ye Yong wanted to simply abolish his current cultivation and start cultivating again. One is that as someone who got on the bus halfway, he didn’t know how to mobilize spiritual energy at all; the other is that after re-cultivating, Ye Yong was confident that he could make his aptitude better. Now that Wu Xue’s favorability has increased, killing three birds with one stone, how could he not be happy?
