Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

With the message from Li Yueyao, Ji Boying finally found some peace at the Zhengyang branch.

However...

This was only relatively speaking.

Occasionally, there would still be some stewards or other guest officials coming to visit.

Of course, most of these visitors were female cultivators.

In response to their various hints, Ji Boying could only pretend to be ignorant or simply act as if he hadn't seen anything.

However, what made Ji Boying angry was that some male cultivators also made such hints towards him. At first, Ji Boying thought they wanted to introduce him to fellow disciples or juniors, but he never expected that they were actually volunteering themselves!

This scared Ji Boying so much that he almost couldn't control his sword aura.

A few more days passed.

Li Yueyao came to report that Li Pu had arrived at the commercial bank and was waiting in the conference hall on the rooftop.

After hearing the news, Ji Boying immediately went to the conference hall, but...

The scene before him made his heart tremble violently.

He saw Li Pu, who was sitting in the main seat, with a pale face and disordered aura. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the sleeve of his right arm was hanging limply beside the chair.

"Brother Ji, it's been many days. Your cultivation has greatly improved! Have you also reached the realm of sword intent?" Li Pu stood up and said with a smile.

"You..." Ji Boying looked at Li Pu's empty right arm and for a moment didn't know what to say.

"It was torn off by that old man," Li Pu said casually. "It was my carelessness. I thought that old man was similar to those people at the Nascent Soul Ceremony, but who knew... he had real skills."

"Although he tore off one of my arms, I injured his dantian and even cut off a minor realm."

"Compared to that, I actually gained an advantage."

"But..." Ji Boying still felt worried when he saw Li Pu's indifferent appearance.

Li Pu was a sword cultivator. If he lost one arm, it would greatly affect his ability to wield a sword or perform hand seals.

"Brother Ji, there's no need to worry. It's just an arm. Although it's inconvenient at the moment, once I return to headquarters, it won't be a problem. I can get a better replacement then."

"A better replacement?!" Ji Boying couldn't help but be stunned.

"A five-star top-grade Flesh Regenerating Pill," Li Pu said calmly. "Although I'm still lacking some spirit stones, it won't take too long. After all, it's just a new arm. A mid-grade one will be enough."

"Alright, let's not talk about these useless things." Li Pu waved his hand and poured himself a cup of tea. He continued, "This time, I invited you to Zhengyang City for two reasons. First, to arrange for your return to the Azure Dragon Immortal City, and second, to ask you to bring some things to headquarters for me."

"The teleportation array in the main city's commercial bank can only send things from the main city to the bank, but not the other way around. Only the branch in the Azure Dragon Immortal City has a two-way teleportation array."

"So, I need Brother Ji's help to take these things to the Azure Dragon branch first, and then have them sent to headquarters from there."

"These things are of great importance, and I can't trust anyone else. I can only rely on Brother Ji."

Upon hearing this, a solemn expression appeared on Ji Boying's face.

"Aren't you coming with me, Brother Li?"

"No, Elder Yang hasn't been found yet. Even if I want to go back, I have to find Elder Yang first."

"However... this meeting has given me a pleasant surprise, Brother Ji. Besides the two previous important matters, I also have one more thing to ask for your help."

"What is it?" Ji Boying asked curiously.

"Help me heal!"

"Heal? Me?"

Ji Boying pointed at himself and smiled bitterly, saying, "I am not a physician, healing... I'm afraid I can't do much."

Li Pu shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Ji misunderstood. When I mentioned healing, I wasn't referring to the usual kind of healing done by physicians. I was talking about... the sword energy within your body!"

"In the battle with that old man, not only did I lose an arm, but the sword energy cultivated within me was also scattered by that old man."

"Although I have been suppressing these sword energies, due to the severity of the injuries from that battle, I have gradually become somewhat powerless recently."

"Brother Ji, not only have you made breakthroughs in your cultivation, but you have also reached the realm of sword intent. If you could lend a hand, there is a great chance that you can gather the scattered sword energies within me."

"Tell me, what should I do?"

After listening to Li Pu's words, Ji Boying understood the general situation.

Without any hesitation, he immediately agreed.

After all...

If it weren't for Li Pu, they wouldn't have been able to escape from Fulong City smoothly.

Even if he had used his life-saving talisman, it would have only resolved the immediate crisis. He wouldn't be able to use it a second time and would still need Li Pu's help.

"Brother Ji is straightforward."

Li Pu smiled and his eyes showed a hint of gratitude.

"However, before that, I would trouble Brother Ji to prepare some things for me."

Saying this, Li Pu took out a jade slip from his storage ring. After imprinting some things on it with his divine soul, he handed it to Ji Boying.

Gathering Spirit Pill, Jade Blossom Pill, Vitality Pill, Blood Qi Pill;

Suppressing Spirit Talisman, Descending Spirit Talisman, Suppressing Spirit Talisman, Sword Element Talisman;

In addition, there were some other miscellaneous items.

"The things inside the jade slip are available in Zhengyang City. As for the spiritual stones, you can put them under my name."

"Li Xiong, please wait a moment. I will prepare them now."

After bidding farewell, Ji Boying headed towards the council hall with the jade slip.

There were many items, so Ji Boying had Yu Yuan prepare the pills and miscellaneous items.

As for the talismans...

Ji Boying personally inspected them.

Almost all the talismans in Zhengyang City were of superior or excellent quality.

Since he needed to help suppress the sword energy, he couldn't control the quality of the pills and other items, but at least he could control the talismans.

So...

Ji Boying checked if the commercial firm had the corresponding top-grade talismans. If they didn't, he would directly draw them on the spot.

All of them were three-star inferior-grade talismans, and it didn't take much time to draw one.

In this way...

In less than a day, Ji Boying had prepared all these items.

Especially the talismans, all of them were top-grade talismans, and he even prepared a few extra of each.

"The items are ready. Li Xiong, please tell me what I need to do next."

Li Pu nodded slightly and said, "Actually, what Brother Ji needs to do is quite simple. Just follow my instructions and forcefully infuse your sword intent into my body, then forcefully gather the scattered sword energies within my body into my dantian."

"However, before doing so, Brother Ji should adjust your state. After all, my realm in sword cultivation is higher than yours. If Brother Ji rashly infuses his sword intent into my body, it may cause a backlash."

Ji Boying nodded and began to meditate and adjust his state in the council hall.

As for Li Yueyao, he was arranged to guard outside the door.

With his peak Foundation Building strength and the talismans Ji Boying left behind, even an ordinary Gold Core cultivator wouldn't be able to disturb them.

However, what they didn't know was...

At this moment, a group of black-clothed people was heading towards the city from outside Zhengyang City.

And the leader...

Was the black-robed old man who had fought against Li Pu before!
