Chapter 70: Iron Bones Jingling - Heavenly Luo Sect The next morning,

With a loud roar from within his body, Ye Yong broke through the Foundation Establishment's eleventh layer and reached the twelfth layer. Because he had been studying painting during this period, his cultivation had slowed down a bit, otherwise, he would have broken through a few days ago.

As the spiritual veins expanded, the originally full eight spiritual veins became like a hungry baby, eager to absorb more spiritual energy. Especially the eighth one, its demand was obviously greater than the previous seven combined.

"It's really easy to use, but it's also very difficult to raise."

The Complete Body Forging, and the Complete Foundation Establishment, none of them mentioned the eighth spiritual vein. Even in "New Emperor Among Demons," the eighth spiritual vein never appeared.

Ye Yong was really confused about the expansion beyond the original novel.

He asked the system, but the system didn't know either, only saying that although this world had a similar future trajectory to "New Emperor Among Demons," the reality was always different from the novel and could change at any time.

Ye Yong thought about it and it was true.

When the protagonist cultivated the Divine Body, he had already become a god, which was different from Ye Yong's starting point. Ye Yong started from scratch, and the Divine Body was not influenced by his cultivation, so everything was based on it for cultivation. Maybe the Primordial Chaos Divine Body cultivated from scratch had its own eighth spiritual vein and had to break through the small realm of the twenty layers?

Shaking his head, he no longer worried about these things, because worrying could not change the fact. Ye Yong took several high-grade Spirit Gathering Pills, replenishing the spiritual energy for the hungry spiritual veins, and the eighth vein one absorbed it very quickly.

If it were in the world of birds, this thing would definitely be the strong child that the bird mother loved the most.

"By the way, system, why haven't I seen anything like a lottery wheel?" 

Wu Xue and Qin Shi Meng had added some favorability these days, and Ye Yong now had 110,000 Transcend Points, which was not a small amount, but definitely not a lot. He wanted to take a small risk and see if he could get some excellent martial arts or weapons.

"This system does not engage in gambling; it is a down-to-earth system." 

"Then... it's been so long, why haven't you given me any missions?" 

"Staying alive is the host's mission."

Ye Yong was speechless. Not only was there no traditional lottery wheel, but there were also no missions. What kind of system was this? At best, it was just a shop. Ye Yong still wanted to do some missions to earn points.

"If the host is bored, this system can also assign tasks to the host, but without rewards. There will be punishment in order to increase the host's desire and tension to complete tasks."

"No, please don't."

No reward and punishment, working for free is not like this. If there was a task to kill the protagonist, how could he possibly complete it?

And this system was so stingy. Obviously, its own settings were not perfect, and it only had a shop function and a favorability list. Ye Yong couldn't even mock it in his heart, and it was picking on the host.

Fortunately, this system doesn't talk normally, otherwise, Ye Yong would feel like he was going to have high blood pressure.

Coming back to his senses, Ye Yong found that Wu Xue in his arms had woken up and was staring at his face.

As soon as Ye Yong looked over, Wu Xue quickly moved her gaze away, and her cheeks quickly turned red.

"Did I wake you up by breaking through?" Ye Yong asked. 

"I woke up by myself."

Although Wu Xue didn't have spiritual veins, as a martial artist at the sixth level of Qi cultivation, she could naturally feel the flow of spiritual energy.

When Ye Yong broke through to the twelfth layer of Foundation Establishment, there was no difference from breaking through to the first layer of Crystallization. The flow of spiritual energy was not small, which startled Wu Xue, but she couldn't blame her young master.

"You broke through, aren't you happy? Is it because you can't participate in next month's secret realm?"

"No, I haven't reached the crystal stage yet."

"Then what level did young master breakthrough to?" 

"Twelfth levels."

"What twelfth levels?" 

"The foundational stage."

"Twelve levels in the foundational stage???"

"Although I've never practiced immortality, so don't fool me, young master"

Wu Xue was really confused. Did she remember wrong, or what? Shouldn't it be a maximum of ten levels?

"My body forging technique is quite special. Don't tell anyone, okay?"

"Okay!" 

Wu Xue nodded seriously. How could she tell anyone? The fact that young master could say it showed that he trusted her, and she wouldn't let him down: 

"What's the difference between young master and an ordinary foundational stage cultivator at the tenth level?"

"I don't know." Ye Yong was also troubled. With a cultivation level of twelve, where could he find opponents? The key was that after the fight, he wouldn't reveal his strange cultivation level.

If it were the protagonist, he wouldn't have to worry. He would always encounter antagonists who wanted to kill him and fight them directly, then silence them afterwards.

Wait a minute, silence them? Ye Yong suddenly thought that he could go on a mission for the sect, such as hunting monsters or exterminating demonic cultivators.

He could rid the world of evil and test his strength at the same time.

Remembering that those 38 Mystery-Grade techniques were still being practiced and that they were all working so hard, Ye Yong couldn't bear to not use them. How could he repay their hard work and self-improvement?

Mystery-Grade techniques were something that would begin to lose effectiveness by the Golden Core Stage and were obsolete by the Ascension Stage. This was because after the Ascension stage, regardless of whether it was the protagonist or the enemy, only Earth - Level and Heaven-level techniques would appear almost exclusively.

Opening the auxiliary system, Ye Yong saw the 38 Mystery-Grade techniques, led by the Five Tiger Fist that he learned first, and everyone had basically become proficient, advancing towards higher levels.

Ye Yong was deeply moved. He had never practiced them, but they were still tirelessly cultivating.

Ye Yong decided! He was going out on a mission! Even if it wasn't to test his level of cultivation at the twelfth level of the foundational stage, but simply to respond to the results of these techniques' self-cultivation.

"Xiao Xue, I'll be leaving the sect for about two days for an outside mission. You stay here and practice well."

Wu Xue was only at the sixth level of Qi Refinement, and it might be dangerous to bring her along.

When Wu Xue heard that Ye Yong was leaving, she suddenly panicked: 

"Young master, is it because I said something wrong?"

Wu Xue thought it was because she asked about the difference between the tenth and twelfth levels of the foundational stage, which led to Ye Yong going on a mission to test himself through battle. She didn't know how dangerous it was outside, but when she thought of her parents never coming back, she was afraid that Ye Yong would meet the same fate. Then she would have no hope of surviving.

"How is that possible? It's not possible to stay in the sect without contribution points. Every month, contribution points will be deducted based on cultivation level. We've been here for a week, and even if we don't go now, we'll have to go later. Didn't you mention a secret realm just now? I'll finish the mission earlier and come back earlier to prepare for the secret realm, isn't that better?"

What Ye Yong didn't say was that as a new disciple, there was a three-month adaptation period, and even if he didn't do the mission, he could still stay in the sect with zero contribution points. And if he just said, "Senior Sister, I'm hungry, can I borrow some contribution points?" there would surely be a bunch of senior sisters clamouring to transfer contribution points to him. He could easily become a freeloading pretty boy.

But Ye Yong, as a man of iron and steel, how could he be willing to freeload and wait to die?

Wu Xue didn't understand the rules of the sect. She hugged Ye Yong tightly. Since becoming his maid, she had never left her young master's side. Even when in seclusion, they were still in the same room. Now that the young master was going outside the sect, she was really uneasy. But when she thought that she was a newly admitted martial artist, and had no ability to help her young master, she could only say words of caution and stand at the door, reluctantly watching Ye Yong leave.

It wasn't until Ye Yong's figure disappeared that Wu Xue regained her senses. Unlike when Ye Yong was there, her eyes were now resolute.
