Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Qiu, although your qualifications are excellent, they do not meet the requirements of our store... Please go to other stores and have a look."

Hiring Hall, the woman smiled and pushed the task card back.

Qiu Yu wanted to say something...

But the woman didn't give her a chance and called the next person directly.

Seeing this, she could only give up.

After leaving the elegant room, Qiu Yu curled up alone in a corner of the Hiring Hall where few people passed by.

She looked at the bustling crowd coming and going in the distance, feeling a bit aggrieved in her heart.

She only took five tasks, but... all five tasks were rejected for various reasons.

She really didn't understand. They were all stewards, and her qualifications also met their needs, so why didn't they want her?

Thinking of this, Qiu Yu buried her head in her knees.

In her mind, the figure of that person appeared again.

If he were still here...

That would be great!

"Oh! Isn't this Fellow Daoist Qiu?"

Just then, a familiar voice came.

Qiu Yu raised her head slightly and saw a woman dressed in luxurious clothes and heavy makeup standing in front of her.

This woman was not unfamiliar to Qiu Yu. She was a steward who used her skills and good looks to attract a lot of business for the Duobao Hall.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Liang."

Qiu Yu quickly stood up, adjusted her state a little, and smiled lightly.

"Fellow Daoist Liang shouldn't be in the Duobao Hall at this time, right? Why did you come to the Hiring Hall? Could it be... to take on tasks as well?"

"Not really."

The woman chuckled and said intentionally or unintentionally,

"I came here this time to release tasks on behalf of the shopkeeper. After Fellow Daoist Qiu left, the business in the store improved a lot, but we are short of manpower."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yu frowned slightly.

What did it mean that the business improved after she left the store?!

However, she had once been a steward of the Wandao Commercial Firm, so her mental resilience was naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

In an instant, Qiu Yu returned to her usual self.

"In that case, I won't disturb you."

Saying that, Qiu Yu was about to turn and walk towards the corridor.

"Hey~"

The woman hurriedly stopped in front of Qiu Yu. She smiled and said leisurely,

"We have worked together after all. Why is Fellow Daoist Qiu in such a hurry to leave?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Fellow Daoist Qiu must have encountered setbacks everywhere when taking on tasks today, right?"

The woman's lips curved slightly, and she leaned closer to Qiu Yu, whispering,

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, don't you want to know why this is happening?"

Qiu Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened. She looked up at the woman, who smiled mischievously and insincerely persuaded,

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, cultivation is not easy. Why bother to be at odds with yourself? It's just a physical body. Close your eyes and it will pass."

"Listen to sister's advice, lower your head a little, and you can have a comfortable and well-fed life, isn't that better?"

"No need! Fellow Daoist Liang, you can go and have a comfortable life yourself!"

Qiu Yu snorted coldly, then directly bypassed the woman and walked quickly towards the corridor.

The woman looked at her back, her face also showing a hint of coldness.

"The kid is acting all high and mighty! Wait until you cry!"

——

"Late stage of the Gold Core, truly extraordinary!"

Under the shining light of the spirit lamp, Ji Boying looked at the rolling cloud thunder talisman on the table, a hint of joy evident on his face.

"With such a high-quality rate, I will have more than enough time to complete the mission in the next two months!"

During these two months, Ji Boying had brought many pills and precious materials to improve the physique of his two wives.

Because of this, the communication threshold between the two wives had surpassed ten times. If Ji Boying could slightly suppress his strength and blood, and be in a good state, he could even reach fifteen times!

After breaking through to the late stage of the Gold Core, Ji Boying became more adept at drawing talismans. Coupled with the "True Explanation of Thunder Law," Ji Boying's success rate in drawing high-quality derivative talismans had exceeded sixty percent, and the rate of producing top-quality talismans had also surpassed twenty percent!

Even... with a bit of luck, there was a slight probability of drawing a dragon-colored top-quality talisman!

Of course, this probability was extremely low, and it might not even appear among dozens of talismans.

"It's a pity that the further I delve into the 'True Explanation of Thunder Law,' the more difficult it becomes to comprehend. I have only understood half of it now, and it's already a bit challenging. I really don't know when I will fully comprehend this true explanation..."

"Hopefully, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage will be of some help!"

With these thoughts in mind, Ji Boying picked up the cloud thunder talisman on the table.

"A success rate of over sixty percent... there is still a long way to go!"

"But the future looks promising!"

Ji Boying smiled slightly, put the talisman into his storage ring, and then walked out of the room.

However...

Just as he was about to communicate with his two wives about their feelings...

The identity token began to flicker at the most inconvenient time.

Ji Boying picked up the jade token, and it turned out to be a message from Ling Wu.

Since the last mission, Ling Wu had left the Azure Dragon Immortal City, and they had not been in contact.

Unexpectedly, the other party chose to contact him at this time.

If nothing unexpected happened...

The other party should have successfully completed the mission.

With this in mind, Ji Boying opened the message, and soon, he heard Ling Wu's hearty laughter from inside.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Ji, I have returned to the Azure Dragon Immortal City. I was fortunate enough to gain some opportunities during this mission and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"On the fifteenth of next month, I will hold a small banquet at the Jade Dragon Mountain. Fellow Daoist Ji, if you have the time, please grace us with your presence!"

"Furthermore... there will be many wines and delicacies that can enhance cultivation at the banquet. Fellow Daoist Ji, please bring your two wives along!"

Nascent Soul!

Ji Boying's hand holding the token tightened involuntarily.

When Ling Wu went on the mission, he was only at the eighth level of the Gold Core, and he was still far from the ninth level.

But this time, he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage just by going on a mission!

How great was this opportunity?

With this in mind, Ji Boying couldn't help but smile sincerely. He was happy that Ling Wu had made a breakthrough.

After all, they had fought side by side and experienced life and death together. If the other party became stronger, he would be happy too.

After a moment, Ji Boying replied directly:

"Fellow Daoist Ling, I will definitely attend the Nascent Soul banquet!"

After the message, Ji Boying put away the identity token and took out the list of core resources.

Since he was going to attend a Nascent Soul banquet, he naturally couldn't skimp on the gifts.

After roughly looking at the list, Ji Boying couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated. Although there were many rare materials on it, they were mostly limited to Gold Core cultivators and didn't provide much help to Nascent Soul cultivators.

"What should I do?"

"Should I take the intermediate-grade guest assessment first to see the situation?"

With this in mind, Ji Boying walked out of the room, ready to inform his two wives and then go to the commercial district to participate in the assessment!
