Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Business, Affairs Pavilion.

Ji Boying had just arrived when he saw Yun Qianshan coming out to greet him.

"The shopkeeper called me over. What is the matter?" Ji Boying asked.

"The one who called you over is Elder Wu, or more accurately, Elder Wu is asking on behalf of his good friend at the headquarters, hoping that Mr. Ji can help with something," Yun Qianshan explained.

"Oh?" Ji Boying raised an eyebrow.

Wu Yuanyu, a Nascent Soul True Immortal, is asking for his help?

"Mr. Ji, please follow me inside. You will know the specifics once we are inside," Yun Qianshan said with a smile.

"Alright," Ji Boying nodded slightly and followed Yun Qianshan inside.

On the way...

Yun Qianshan hinted, "Mr. Ji, although your talent in talisman Dao far surpasses ordinary talisman masters, and even among your peers, there are few who can compare, if you want to reach a higher level or improve yourself faster, relying solely on yourself is far from enough."

"In addition, the foundation of the business is much stronger than what you and I can currently see. The level of talent cultivation is also far beyond our imagination!"

"All of this needs to be pursued by oneself. If you only rely on the basic privileges, there is actually no difference from those major sects. What Mr. Ji can obtain in the business can also be obtained in those major sects."

"If one wants to climb up, they ultimately have to pursue differential treatment in the eyes of others, as well as... unfairness!"

Hearing this, Ji Boying couldn't help but look at Yun Qianshan more.

He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your guidance."

"Oh~ I dare not say it's guidance. I, Yun Qianshan, am not that ungrateful person. I will remember Mr. Ji's kindness!" Yun Qianshan replied.

"However, my talent is limited, and my position in the business is not high. I can only say that I will never refuse to help Mr. Ji with anything I can do!"

"We have arrived. Please go in first, Mr. Ji. Elder Wu is inside."

Yun Qianshan smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Ji Boying slightly bowed and then walked straight in.

Not long after...

He saw two old men sitting in the main seats.

And one of them was Wu Yuanyu.

"Mr. Ji, you have arrived. Please have a seat!" Wu Yuanyu stood up and warmly greeted him, then poured a cup of tea for Ji Boying.

He then looked at the old man sitting next to his seat and introduced, "This is our newly appointed core guest official of the business, Ji Boying, Mr. Ji."

"Although Mr. Ji's current rating is only lower-grade Profound Stage, he has already produced many high-grade Three-Star talismans in the business. I believe he has already advanced to the level of a high-grade Three-Star talisman master. Am I right?" Wu Yuanyu asked.

Ji Boying nodded slightly.

"I made some breakthroughs recently, thanks to some fortuitous encounters."

Wu Yuanyu nodded slightly and continued the introduction, "This is an old friend of mine from my early years, as well as a core elder at the headquarters, Elder Gu Xuyao. He is in charge of the transportation of resources across the Five Continents. He happened to pass by Dongcang Xuanzhou and came to our branch for a visit and a cup of tea."

"What do you mean by 'happened to pass by and came for a cup of tea'? Didn't you drag him here?" The old man couldn't help but laugh when he heard Wu Yuanyu's introduction.

Wu Yuanyu didn't mind and retorted directly, "You old man, just admit it! Just say whether you need help or not!"

"That's a different matter!"

The old man couldn't be bothered to argue with Wu Yuanyu anymore. Instead, he looked at Ji Boying and said, "When I came here, Yuanyu mentioned Mr. Ji to me, saying that Mr. Ji's talent in talisman Dao far surpasses ordinary people."

"As for me... I happen to need a batch of talismans."

"If it were in normal times, as a core guest official, I could easily obtain these talismans with a few spirit stones. But... the business is currently in a special period, and these talismans have already been sent to the front lines."

"In addition, among the people I know, there are only two Four-Star talisman masters, and they both have important tasks. That's why, in desperation, I mentioned this to Yuanyu."

"Why are you blabbering so much? Just tell him what talismans you need. Senior Brother said that although Mr. Ji is only a Three-Star talisman master, his understanding of talisman Dao is no less than that of a Four-Star talisman master. Asking Mr. Ji for help is definitely the right choice."

As they spoke, Wu Yuanyu also gave Ji Boying a meaningful look.

Understanding the message, Ji Boying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Elder Wu really trusts me, isn't he afraid of me messing up?

But since things have come to this point, and the other party is well-intentioned, Ji Boying asked:

"I wonder what kind of talismans Elder Gu needs?"

"The Thunder Talisman, Earth Thunder Talisman, and Cloud Thunder Talisman from the six derivative talismans of the Thunder Law Compendium!"

"The quality doesn't have to be very good, upper-grade is fine."

Saying that, Gu Xuyao added:

"Of course... if Master Ji can draw exquisite talismans, that would be even better."

Actually, he originally wanted exquisite talismans.

But... seeing that Ji Boying is so young and only a three-star talisman master, in order to save face for his old friend, he simply settled for upper-grade talismans.

Although he is not a talisman master, he has long heard of the six derivative talismans in the Thunder Law Compendium.

His two four-star talisman master friends don't have a high success rate in drawing talismans, and the rate of exquisite talismans is less than ten percent.

He doesn't think Ji Boying can do any better.

As for Wu Yuanyu, when he heard that Gu Xuyao needed talismans from the Thunder Law Compendium, he couldn't help but worry for Ji Boying.

But when he thought about his senior brother's high praise for Ji Boying, and even Li Pu's high regard, he felt slightly relieved.

How could an ordinary three-star talisman master be so highly regarded by them?

Just as the two were lost in thought.

Ji Boying suddenly spoke up:

"I don't know how many you need, Elder? I happened to refine some in the past few months."

Saying that, Ji Boying took out six stacks of talismans of varying thickness.

There were a total of three types, each divided into exquisite and upper-grade.

There were about thirty to forty upper-grade talismans of each type, as for the exquisite ones... Ji Boying only took out less than half, with only five of each type.

If it weren't for considering that there was still plenty of time for the mission, and Wu Yuanyu had high expectations for him, he probably wouldn't have taken out a single exquisite talisman.

After seeing the six stacks of talismans on the table, Wu Yuanyu and Gu Xuyao were completely stunned.

The atmosphere in the elegant room became awkward without anyone realizing it.

After a long while...

Gu Xuyao tentatively asked:

"Can Master Ji reveal the success rate of these three types of talismans?"

"A little over thirty percent."

Ji Boying answered truthfully.

After hearing Ji Boying's words, Gu Xuyao fell into silence again.

Seeing the atmosphere becoming awkward again, Wu Yuanyu quickly smiled and said:

"How about it? Master Ji's talisman skills are good, right?"

Upon hearing these words, Gu Xuyao couldn't help but show a disdainful look.

Clearly, he himself wasn't any better.

In the end...

Gu Xuyao accepted all the talismans Ji Boying brought out at a price twenty percent higher than the market price.

A total of 5071 high-grade spirit stones, Ji Boying rounded it down to five thousand.

In this way, the three of them chatted for a while longer. Gu Xuyao had another mission to attend to, so he bid farewell in advance.

After seeing off his friend, Wu Yuanyu pulled Ji Boying aside and whispered:

"Mr. Ji, I know it's taboo to inquire about a talisman master's success rate, but... I sincerely hope that Mr. Ji can reveal a little."

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Boying truthfully said:

"I've already mentioned the success rate before, it's just a little over thirty percent. As for the rate of exquisite talismans... under normal circumstances, it's less than ten percent."

Less than ten percent under normal circumstances...

Does that mean it can be higher than ten percent under special circumstances?

Thinking of this, Wu Yuanyu couldn't help but feel excited. He stared at Ji Boying intently, suppressing the restlessness in his heart, and asked:

"Mr. Ji, have you ever heard of the Wan Dao Pavilion?"
