Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"Secondly, before achieving the Gold Core, I wish to preserve my Yin essence and smoothly advance to the third transformation of the Profound Enchanting Body."

"As for after achieving the Gold Core, the young master can take it, and I will not say a word."

"Of course, I also hope that after achieving the Gold Core, the young master can provide me with six doses of Heavy Yang Qi every day for my cultivation."

Upon hearing Li Yueyao's words, Ji Boying's face darkened slightly.

It wasn't that Li Yueyao's demands were excessive, but...

As a servant, she showed no sense of servitude at all!

If it were just the three agreed-upon conditions, it would be fine, but she dared to push her luck and take advantage!

Seemingly sensing Ji Boying's growing anger, Li Yueyao quickly changed her tone and said:

"Preserving my Yin essence before achieving the Gold Core is my final request. Besides that... whatever the young master wants, I promise!"

"Tell me the third condition!"

Ji Boying waved his hand, clearly unwilling to waste any more time with her.

"The last condition is that after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, I hope the young master can give me a chance to kill my enemy with my own hands!"

"On this point, I will never back down!"

Li Yueyao's tone was firm, and her pretty face showed a hint of determination.

Ji Boying glanced at Li Yueyao and sneered:

"Does your enemy include me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yueyao smiled sweetly.

"The young master and I have a transactional relationship, and moreover, I am guaranteed to profit. How could I view the young master as an enemy?"

"Guaranteed to profit?"

Ji Boying laughed.

"I agree to all three conditions."

"I am willing to swear on my Dao Heart. If I violate it, I will be punished by heaven."

"Thank you for your generosity, Master!"

Li Yueyao bowed respectfully to Ji Boying and then offered her soul token with both hands.

Ji Boying chuckled and accepted the token.

"Just call me Young Master."

Since the demonic cultivators completely occupied Fulong City, the area within a radius of thousands of miles, including the continuous mountain range of Fulong Ridge, had become the realm of the demonic cultivators.

Not only that, but outside of Fulong Ridge, many demonic cultivators had infiltrated the main cities within the Dongcang Xuan Continent.

Although the main cities and sects in various regions were resisting with all their might, the results were minimal.

Especially after the Thirty-Six Battles of Life and Death, the majority of the high-ranking members of the righteous sects in the Dongcang Xuan Continent mysteriously disappeared, and there has been no news to this day.

This made the originally unbalanced situation in the Dongcang Xuan Continent even worse.

Fortunately, these demonic cultivators were only flamboyant in their style of doing things, constantly clamoring for fights and causing trouble, but apart from that, they didn't go too far.

As long as the original residents of the main cities were cautious, they wouldn't attract trouble.

---

Between Zhengyang City and Pingyang City, there was a government road that stretched for three to four thousand miles.

Before the invasion of the demonic cultivators, this government road used to be bustling, with a constant flow of merchants and wandering cultivators between the two cities.

However, since the invasion of the demonic cultivators, the traffic between the two cities had significantly decreased.

Especially the merchant caravans that transported goods back and forth, it had been months since they had seen a few.

After all, in the past, most of the bandits who hijacked goods were cultivators with relatively low cultivation bases and small numbers.

As for now...

There were countless demonic cultivators along the government road. They occupied the inns and post stations along the way. Any merchants or wandering cultivators passing through their territory would be heavily taxed.

They didn't just overcharge, but deliberately raised prices. If you bought, you were being ripped off; if you didn't buy, you were told to get lost.

There were only a few inns and post stations along the way, and they were all in cahoots, charging the same prices no matter where you went.

If a certain place didn't supply goods, then those goods wouldn't be able to reach the next city.

After all, most of these merchants and wandering cultivators had only reached the early or middle stage of Qi Refining, with only a few high-level experts in the late stage of Qi Refining.

They couldn't do without food and drink.

As for Foundation Building cultivators...

Which Foundation Building cultivator would do such a thankless job?

In addition, besides these demonic cultivators, there are also many scattered demonic cultivators along the official road who are similar to bandits.

Compared to the organized and disciplined demonic cultivators before, they are not as particular in their actions.

Almost every time they encounter a merchant caravan or a lone cultivator, they would take advantage of them. Although the gains are not much, they can't escape being taken advantage of along the entire journey.

Fortunately, they are all bullies who fear the strong. As long as one has a strong fist, the other party won't do anything.

Because of this...

Various main cities in Dongcang Xuanzhou have spawned organizations and forces similar to escort agencies.

When merchant caravans travel, they will bring some bodyguards from these forces specifically to deal with those demonic cultivators who take advantage of them.

At this moment...

On the desolate official road, a caravan loaded with goods slowly moved towards the direction of Zhengyang City.

The boss of the caravan, who was walking at the front, glanced into the distance and loudly reminded the people behind him, "We still have a hundred miles to go before we reach the next relay station. Everyone, be careful!"

Saying that, he looked towards a young cultivator beside him and smiled, "I heard from fellow travelers that there are often demonic cultivators lurking in the Wild Boar Forest ahead. I'll trouble Young Master Zhuang to take care of us later!"

"Rest assured, Boss Qian. Our Wild Wolf Gang has never failed on this road before."

Zhuang Bi waved his hand, quite proud, "Those demonic cultivators are just a dozen or so people, and the highest cultivation level among them is only at the seventh level of Qi Refinement. They are no match for me at all."

"That's right! Senior Brother has already comprehended Sword Qi. Even if a demonic cultivator at the peak of Qi Refinement comes, they are no match for Senior Brother."

The one speaking was a woman in a sturdy outfit, clean and neat, with a somewhat heroic and impressive demeanor that was not inferior to men.

"Hahaha! That's right, that's right!"

After hearing the words of the two, Qian Youcai also felt much more at ease.

"May I ask, Boss Qian, who is sitting in the carriage? It's been so many days, but we haven't seen them show their face?"

Just then, Zhuang Bi glanced at the spacious carriage behind him and asked curiously.

Throughout the journey, he had been curious about who was in the carriage, but never had the opportunity.

Even when they stopped at the relay station for supplies, the other party never appeared.

These few days of riding were really tiring, and seeing others riding in carriages, he couldn't help but feel a bit envious. It would be nice to be able to get to know them and sit inside for a while.

Qian Youcai looked back at the carriage and smiled, "It's the employer we met in Pingyang City. They gave me some spirit stones and bought a carriage, asking me to give them a ride."

"I see..."

Zhuang Bi murmured, and then looked at the carriage again.

But it was at this moment that a gust of wind suddenly blew.

The sound of a zither played, and a beautiful woman's face appeared.

It was at this moment that Zhuang Bi finally saw the true appearance of the carriage owner.

Even if it was just a side profile.

But she had eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes filled with autumn waves, every frown and smile seemed to encompass all the mountains and rivers of the world...

So beautiful!

Zhuang Bi couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

However... why does she seem a bit distressed?

"Senior Brother?"

A familiar voice sounded in his ear.

Zhuang Bi snapped out of his daze and turned his head to see that he had somehow arrived at the Wild Boar Forest...

"What's wrong with you, Senior Brother?"

The woman in the sturdy outfit asked curiously.

"Nothing... nothing?"

Zhuang Bi took a deep breath and said, "Let's rest here for a moment."

"Rest in the Wild Boar Forest?"

Upon hearing Zhuang Bi's words, both the woman in the sturdy outfit and Qian Youcai exclaimed.

Seeing their reactions, Zhuang Bi also realized that what he said was problematic. However... now that the words were spoken, how could he change them? He, who always cared about his face, wouldn't do that.

"Let's rest here. The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. We'll go against the norm. Those demonic cultivators might even be afraid of the unknown."

Saying that, regardless of what the two thought, he took the lead and rode his horse towards a big tree...
