I Just Want to Live a Good Life but Surpass the Protagonist – 20 Barbarian Snake

Hiding his aura, Long Tian carefully came to the place where the fighting sound came from.

It was a cave. There were many corpses of Foundation Building cultivators outside. A Crystallization Eighth Layer spirit beast, the Barbarian Snake, was fighting two Crystallization Sixth Layer cultivators.

It was said to be a battle, but in fact, the spirit beast was crushing the cultivators unilaterally. The two cultivators were just evading and dodging, protecting a Foundation Building period young man.

Crystallization Eighth Layer, that was not a spirit beast that Long Tian could defeat, so Long Tian did not plan to care. Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be a white plant in the cave, which seemed to be the White Jade Mushroom he needed.

Seeing that the two Crystallization Sixth Layer cultivators were about to be defeated by the Barbarian Snake, if they ran away, Long Tian alone would not be able to deal with the Barbarian Snake, so he shouted: “Fellow Daoist, I don’t know what you need in this cave, but I need the White Jade Mushroom, so if you are willing to promise to give me the White Jade Mushroom, I can help you scare away the Barbarian Snake and create a counter-kill opportunity for you, but the opportunity is only once, I hope you can seize it.”

The two Crystallization cultivators looked at the man they were protecting when they heard this.

The man was about 20 years old, and he was considered handsome, but because too many of his subordinates had died, and the Barbarian Snake was too ferocious, his face was very ugly at the moment. He nodded almost without hesitation: “We promise you.”

If he left in disgrace like this, he would lose too much face. No matter what, he had to get what he wanted. If he could kill the Barbarian Snake, then the dead Foundation Building cultivators would be nothing.

“I hope fellow Daoist keeps his word and does not violate his Dao heart.” If it were not for the fact that his strength was limited now, Long Tian really would not be willing to trust strangers casually, but now there was no way.

However, if the other party broke their promise and wanted to kill him to silence him, he was also confident that he would be able to escape, because the two Crystallization cultivators had already used up a lot of spiritual power. After they killed the Barbarian Snake, their spiritual power would definitely be consumed even more.

Taking out the prepared beast repellent incense, Long Tian immediately rushed towards the cave while the Barbarian Snake was attacking the Crystallization cultivator.

The Barbarian Snake was already at the Crystallization Eighth Layer, so it had some intelligence. It originally did not put the Foundation Building period Long Tian in its eyes, but this ant actually wanted to take advantage of the time when it was killing the Crystallization cultivator to steal something from its lair? How could it be willing?

So the Barbarian Snake nimbly turned its head and charged straight at Long Tian.

This was the effect Long Tian wanted. When the Barbarian Snake approached, he immediately threw out the beast repellent incense.

Beast repellent incense was something that spirit beasts hated, and the Barbarian Snake was no exception. When it smelled the incense flying over, it subconsciously dodged.

“Now!”

The two Crystallization cultivators were not noobs in battle. They did not miss this opportunity. The two of them immediately offered up their weapons and used their strongest killing moves.

“Pfft!” Hitting the snake’s seven inches, the Barbarian Snake was too confident in its defense, and because it was chasing after Long Tian, it completely turned its back to the two cultivators, so its scales were directly pierced and its heart was stabbed.

Letting out an unwilling hiss, the invincible Barbarian Snake collapsed to the ground.

“Phew, phew.” The two Crystallization cultivators were also exhausted to the point of almost collapsing. The Barbarian Snake’s defense was too strong, and its cultivation was two realms higher than theirs, so it was impossible to kill it head-on. If it were not for the fact that they had to protect the young master, and the young master was unwilling to leave just like that, they would have left long ago.

“Many thanks to this fellow Daoist for your help.” The two Crystallization cultivators were still relatively polite and gave Long Tian a cultivator’s salute.

The young master who was being protected saw that the Barbarian Snake had been killed, and his expression improved a lot, but he did not thank Long Tian: “You did very well. What was that red powder you threw out just now?”

“It’s beast repellent incense that I accidentally obtained.” Long Tian was also very careful. He did not say that he had made it himself. If he said that, what if the other party had ill intentions and wanted him to hand over the recipe?

“Your beast repellent incense seems to be different from the ordinary ones. Do you have any more? I can buy it from you with money.”

“That was all of it just now.”

“Then why are you, a Foundation Building cultivator, running so deep by yourself?”

Long Tian frowned. He had just saved the other party, why did he still have to accept the other party’s questioning? Although he was not happy, in order to obtain the White Jade Mushroom, Long Tian still answered truthfully: “I also said just now that I need the White Jade Mushroom. As for the others, I don’t need them. I hope fellow Daoist will not go back on his word.”

“Look at what you’re saying. Would I, Ye Mao, covet your White Jade Mushroom?” This young master was Ye Mao of the Ye family. He had recently been stuck at the fourth level of Foundation Building and could not break through . He had received news that there was a spirit grass nearby, so he brought two Crystallization cultivators and several Foundation Building cultivators to search for it.

As a result, he underestimated the spirit beasts of the Spirit Hidden Mountain, causing almost all of his Foundation Building subordinates to be wiped out. Of the more than 10, only 5 were left alive.

However, after killing the eighth-layer Crystal Serpent and obtaining the Spirit Energy Herb, Ye Mao believed that he would not be punished but would be rewarded. If he had come empty-handed just now, he would have definitely been criticized.

Because those were the subordinates his father had cultivated for him. Although the Ye family had an endless supply of thugs, who would willingly let a Foundation Establishment subordinate die in vain? What about the next time? A Crystal subordinate?

But now that he had obtained what he wanted and killed a high-level spirit beast, the death of his subordinate could be understood as a strategic sacrifice.

“Ye Mao?”

Seeing that Long Tian seemed to have never heard of him, Ye Mao was a little unhappy: “Is there anyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty who doesn’t know about my Ye family?”

“So you’re the young master of the Ye family, a cultivating family. My apologies.” Long Tian was also unhappy with Ye Mao’s attitude. I saved you, and you come here to flaunt your family background?

If Long Tian had any strength or background now, he would have slapped him long ago.

“Alright, hurry up and get the White Jade Mushroom you want. Don’t touch anything else.” Ye Mao could sense that Long Tian was different from those bootlickers who flattered him. There was a kind of arrogance in his bones, and he didn’t want to talk to him much. He casually took out a bag of spirit stones: “There are about 100 low-grade spirit stones here. Just take it as a reward for your help.”

100 low-grade spirit stones were like pocket change to Ye Mao, but to Long Tian, it was a small fortune. One must know that all the resources he had obtained from the mortal realm to his current cultivation level were self-acquired, with the help of the magical jade pendant space.

With these 100 low-grade spirit stones, Long Tian was confident that he could break through to the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment within a month (three months in the jade pendant).

Entering the cave, Long Tian was indeed right. The white plant was the White Jade Mushroom he was looking for. After collecting the White Jade Mushroom, Long Tian also discovered several Spirit Energy Herbs deep in the cave.

If he had those few Spirit Energy Herbs, coupled with the guidance of the Immortal Meteorite, he could extract all the medicinal power of the Spirit Energy Herbs and break through to the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment.

But he had said that he only wanted the White Jade Mushroom, and the other party had two Crystal cultivators. Even if their spiritual power was almost exhausted, their cultivation levels were too different. There was no way Long Tian could fight them head-on .

There would be more resources in the future, but his life was only one.

Long Tian left very chic and decisively.

Watching Long Tian leave, the two Crystal cultivators had a good impression of him.

“At such a young age, he’s able to remain unmoved at the sight of the Spirit Energy Herbs. He didn’t shamelessly ask us for them, and he was able to remain so calm when facing the Crystal Serpent. It’s really not simple. “

“Yes. His cultivation seems a little strange. It feels like the second layer of Foundation Establishment, but it also seems a little higher. Even though our cultivation levels are higher than his, we can’t fully see through his level.”

“Hmph. What future can a casual cultivator have?” For some reason, Ye Mao just didn’t like Long Tian and hated his subordinates praising Long Tian: “Wait until I absorb these few Spirit Energy Herbs and break through to the fifth or even sixth layer of Foundation Establishment. By then, I will surpass Qin Shimeng of the Qin family. That little girl might look at me with new eyes. I can also amaze everyone at the entrance examination for the Tianluo Sect.”

“Young Master is right.” The two subordinates nodded in agreement.

In fact, with the Ye family’s financial resources, it wouldn’t be difficult for Ye Mao to obtain a few Spirit Energy Herbs, but he wanted to make some achievements to prove his ability to those elders and gain their approval. Now that he had the extra income from the corpse of the Crystal Serpent King… Thinking of his increasingly bright future, Ye Mao couldn’t help but smile happily.
