I Just Want to Live Well But I Surpassed the Protagonist – 18 Learning Cultivation Techniques

Ye Yong currently did not have any cultivation. Even if he had a Divine Body that could fight with Foundation Establishment cultivators, he was still essentially a mortal. Without spiritual power, going to the Hall of Cultivation Techniques to find martial arts and techniques would be useless. He would not be able to use them, and he would not be able to improve without using them.

But as a man with an Auto-Cultivation Assistant System, as long as he remembered the incantations and usage methods of the martial arts and techniques, he could improve his proficiency even if he lay down and did nothing.

Ye Yong did not have any distant goals at the moment. Anyway, he wanted to return to Foundation Establishment first. After all, in two months, it would be the day of the Skyfall Sect’s disciple recruitment assessment. No matter what, he had to cultivate to the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment. He could not be the number one genius, but he had to be a small genius.

After joining the sect, he would need some martial arts, spiritual arts, and techniques to maintain combat. Ye Yong could not possibly use his Divine Body to fight enemies head-on every time he encountered a battle. That would be too low-level , like a reckless man. His goal was to be a dashing sword cultivator, to speak with his sword, not with his fists.

Previously, when he went to the Hall of Cultivation Techniques, Ye Yong planned to learn all of the Ye family’s Profound-grade cultivation techniques.

Although he said he would learn them all, the Ye family did not have many Profound-grade cultivation techniques. There were all kinds of different weapons, martial arts, techniques, and elemental techniques. Adding them all up, there were actually only about 30 of them.

After all, the Ye family was a family, and the cultivation techniques were written by the family elders. They had the characteristics of the Ye family. However, the sect widely accepted talents, and there were all kinds of cultivation techniques. There were thousands of Profound-grade techniques alone. Therefore, even if Ye Yong went to the sect and the Auto-Cultivation System did not have any restrictions, he would not be able to learn everything.

As for why a young master of a large family like Ye Yong needed to go to a sect, it was actually similar to students going to school. Apart from studying, there was also the element of making friends. When they were a little older, Those who were capable could establish their own sects. Those who were slightly weaker could return to their families and become nominal elders or something.

Because of the Chaos Divine Body, Ye Yong, who originally had an extreme Wind Spiritual Root and could only use Wind-type techniques and spiritual arts, could now use other elements without needing other Spiritual Roots. This was because Chaos was nothingness, and nothingness could give birth to everything.

Therefore, if he could become an all-rounder, Ye Yong naturally wanted to become an all-rounder. Anyway, he had the Auto-Cultivation System.

When he came to the Hall of Cultivation Techniques, the one in charge of the Hall of Cultivation Techniques was the Third Elder, who was also Ye Yong’s Second Uncle. As soon as the Second Uncle saw Ye Yong, he sighed, but did not say anything.

Ye Yong greeted him and walked into the Hall of Cultivation Techniques.

There were some cousins and distant relatives in the Hall of Cultivation Techniques who were choosing and learning the cultivation techniques they liked. When they saw Ye Yong, their expressions were complicated. Compared to the adults who doted on him, these young people were somewhat gloating. about Ye Yong losing his cultivation.

After all, Ye Yong had always suppressed them and was known as one of the top five geniuses in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that Ye Yong had abolished his cultivation and become a mortal, he was really like an ant-like existence. If Ye Yong did not have a YuanYing old mother and a father who was at the peak of the YuanYing stage and was about to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage, with his previous temper and actions, he would have been trampled into the ground long ago.

“Young Master Ye.” Some would still greet Ye Yong, but the sycophants who used to fawn over him were now all keeping their distance.

A small number of guys with relatively high talent, who were at the third or fourth layer of Foundation Establishment, which could be considered as ordinary geniuses, completely ignored Ye Yong.

Ye Yong didn’t mind any of this, and with a cold face, he walked up to the Profound-Level Cultivation Techniques section, picked up a cultivation technique book, and prepared to read them all.

As long as he read them once, the system would automatically generate an e-book, and the Idle Cultivation System would also determine that Ye Yong had learned this cultivation technique, and then start idling in the background.

Ding~ Learned the Five Tigers Fist, the Five Tigers Fist is currently being cultivated, progress: 0.

Ding~ Learned the Wind Pressure Sword, the Wind Pressure Sword is currently being cultivated, progress: 0.

…

However, learning did not mean mastering. It was necessary to reach 100 progress to enter the next stage, [Getting Started], before these moves could be performed.

For an entire morning, Ye Yong was like a madman, flipping through this book after finishing that one, not at all like someone who had come to study cultivation techniques, but rather like someone who had come to disturb others’ cultivation.

“Ye Yong, what do you mean?”

Just as Ye Yong was flipping through the last Profound-Level cultivation technique, his cousin Ye Mao came up behind him.

Ye Mao was 2 years older than Ye Yong, 20 years old, and at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment. At the age of 20, with a solid foundation and without relying on pills to improve, the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment was already considered a genius. It was just that Ye Yong was even more monstrous, reaching the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment at the age of 18, and still with an extreme-grade spiritual root. These normal geniuses were completely overshadowed by Ye Yong, so they seemed mediocre.

Now that Ye Yong had crippled his own cultivation, Ye Mao was the outstanding existence of the younger generation of the Ye Family, and he was also Ye Yong’s cousin, so he naturally had the right to question Ye Yong’s strange behavior.

“Reading cultivation techniques.” Ye Yong couldn’t recognize who the other person was, because when he read the novel, these extras didn’t have any illustrations at all. Even if there were illustrations, they were 2D, while these were living , breathing 3D characters.

“Is that how you read cultivation techniques? Walking around restlessly, seriously affecting others.”

“Sorry, but this is the last one, I won’t read any more after I finish this one.”

Ye Mao wanted to say something else, but Ye Yong’s attitude was not bad, and he also said that he would stop reading after finishing this one. If he continued to pester Ye Yong, it would be a bit like provoking him.

It should be known that Ye Yong had only recently become a ‘cripple’, and the elders’ thoughts were still on him, so he could not afford to offend them for the time being. When the elders completely gave up on Ye Yong, and then discovered that Ye Mao had cultivated talent, wouldn’t Ye Mao be the one calling the shots?

Thinking of this, he had to thank Ye Yong for crippling his own cultivation, otherwise he wouldn’t know when he would be able to attract the attention of the elders.

“Pay attention next time.” Ye Mao snorted and turned away.

Ye Yong continued to happily memorize the cultivation techniques, waiting for them to cultivate automatically.

The 38 Profound-Level cultivation techniques, spells, martial arts, and spiritual techniques, all began to cultivate by themselves.

Looking at the rows of cultivation technique names, Ye Yong had an indescribable feeling, like a master who knew nothing, but had a group of hardworking and talented apprentices under him. He, the master, just needed to sit back and enjoy the benefits and take the credit.

Awesome.

Ye Yong looked at the third floor of the Cultivation Technique Hall. There were Earth-Level cultivation techniques there, which even Ye Yong’s previous cultivation at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment was not qualified to learn. He needed to have Crystallization cultivation to go up .

And the first floor was Yellow-Level cultivation techniques, which Ye Yong didn’t even look at.

In other words, today’s cultivation technique study ended here. He would return to his residence to gather Qi and quickly break through to the Qi Refining Stage. That was what Ye Yong should do next.

———

For 5 consecutive days, Lin Wei did not see Ye Yong. Although she used her divine sense to pay attention to the movements in Ye Yong’s residence at all times, Ye Yong had activated the Shielding Formation. Lin Wei could only “see” Ye Yong’s Maid, Wu Xue, going in and out every day to fetch meals for Ye Yong.

“Sigh…” Lin Wei sighed, her face full of sorrow.

She had estimated that it would take Ye Yong at least 1 month to return to the Qi Refining Stage, and 5 years to return to the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment. This was still a fast speed. If it was slower, it might take 10 years.

It should be known that Ye Yong started cultivating at the age of 7 and reached the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment at the age of 18, taking 11 years. Although he had experience in re-cultivating, it was not necessarily faster.

With another sigh, just as Lin Wei was about to find some spirit beast meat to make some soup to replenish Ye Yong’s body, her divine sense detected that Ye Yong had come out.
