Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Wandao Commercial Firm, Trial Pavilion.

Wu Yuanyu smiled and said, "I have already submitted the assessment application. It will be approved within an hour at most. Mr. Ji, please wait here for a moment."

Ji Boying nodded slightly and bowed to Wu Yuanyu, saying, "Thank you, Lord Wu!"

"It's just a small favor," Wu Yuanyu waved his hand and continued, "Mr. Ji, if you want to challenge the position of a guest official in the future, you can come directly here. As for the application process, you have seen it, it's not complicated."

"In addition, the assessment rules are the same as before. After a failure, you need to wait three months before reapplying for the assessment."

"Alright, I still have some trivial matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company for long."

Upon hearing this, Ji Boying quickly said, "Please go ahead, Lord!"

"Alright, then... I will await good news from Mr. Ji!" Wu Yuanyu bid farewell and left the Trial Pavilion.

However...

Not long after he walked out of the gate, he turned back and glanced in the direction of the Trial Pavilion.

"A 30% success rate, a 10% rate of high-quality symbols, and the goal of reaching the upper-grade guest official position... It's enough!"

With a smile on his face, he walked briskly towards the Affairs Pavilion.

---

Half an hour later.

Ji Boying, led by an attendant, arrived in a quiet room.

The familiar layout was still there.

A desk, a cushion,

A bright lamp, a formation plate;

Apart from these, there was nothing else.

Since he was in a relatively good state, Ji Boying didn't need to meditate and rest. He directly activated the formation plate.

Soon, the assessment questions for the middle-grade guest official position appeared on the table.

A stack of talisman paper, a brush.

"Within five hours, draw Thunder Strike Symbols, Demon Thunder Symbols, and Water Thunder Symbols respectively. The Thunder Strike Symbols should reach the Dragon-grade level, while the Demon Thunder Symbols and Water Thunder Symbols should reach the Crane-grade level. There is no time limit."

"So simple?"

Ji Boying couldn't help but be stunned, but when he thought about his level when he just reached the middle-grade three-star level, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Simple is relative. When he just became a middle-grade three-star symbol master, he couldn't even make Demon Thunder Symbols or Water Thunder Symbols.

Thinking of this, Ji Boying smiled faintly and calmly took out a piece of talisman paper and started drawing symbols.

Now, Ji Boying's skill in drawing Thunder Strike Symbols has reached a state of perfection. As long as nothing unexpected happens, they will be high-quality symbols, and there is a 70% chance of them being Dragon-grade!

Soon, under Ji Boying's skillful strokes, the sound of crackling electricity rang out on the talisman paper.

With the experience gained from previous practice and his understanding of the comprehensive principles of thunder techniques, it took him only half an hour to complete the symbols.

Ji Boying casually threw the talismans onto the formation plate without even looking at their colors. He didn't meditate or rest, but immediately took out another piece of talisman paper and continued drawing.

The whole process went smoothly without any pause.

This... is confidence!

Like this...

In less than four hours, Ji Boying completed all three talismans.

Perhaps it was luck, or perhaps his state was good, but all three talismans turned out to be high-quality.

After a short rest, Ji Boying activated the formation plate again.

With his personal divine talisman, Ji Boying's consumption was reduced by 30%. As for the three superior spiritual roots and his mid-stage Golden Body, they allowed him to quickly recover his state.

As another spiritual light descended, a stack of talisman paper and a brush appeared on the desk once again.

"Separately draw the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, Earth Thunder Talisman, and Cloud Thunder Talisman, and all the drawn talismans must reach the Crane-level, with a time limit of thirty-six hours."

Ji Boying looked at the small characters on the table and murmured softly, "It's not too difficult."

"Thirty-six hours, three Crane-level talismans. It might have been tight before my spiritual soul breakthrough, but now... it's enough!"

Five hundred miles west of the Azure Dragon Immortal City, there is a mountain range called the Falling Sunset Forest.

The mountain range is not too wide, stretching for only a thousand miles. Due to the presence of cultivators hunting within it all year round...

Despite the Falling Sunset Forest being close to the seventh-grade spiritual vein in the Fulong City, it still hasn't given birth to many third-grade demonic beasts at the Gold Core level.

Deep within the jungle...

Qiuyu leaned against a big tree, panting heavily. Beside her were the corpses of three first-grade demonic beasts that resembled wild wolves.

She took out a bottle of Qi-replenishing Pill from her storage bag, about to swallow it. But then she thought, ever since she left the Duobao Hall, she had no income anymore.

If she were to swallow it now and there was an urgent need later, but she had no spirit stones to buy more, what would she do?

Thinking of this, Qiuyu put the Qi-replenishing Pill back into her storage bag and began to sit cross-legged in meditation.

Since the day she left the Appointment Hall, she knew that as long as she still wanted to serve as an official or receptionist, it would be impossible for her to receive any tasks!

She never expected that the Duobao Hall would handle things so ruthlessly.

Although she was dissatisfied with this in her heart, she was ultimately just a Foundation Building cultivator and couldn't do anything about it.

So, after struggling for a while, Qiuyu finally chose the easiest demonic beast hunting task to undertake.

This type of task didn't require an interview. As long as you had the ability, you could go and accept it, and there was no limit.

In the end, after wandering around, Qiuyu chose the simplest first-grade demonic beast hunting task.

Although the reward was extremely low, not even enough to cover a month's rent with hundreds of first-grade demonic beasts...

But she had no other choice, she could only accept it.

Qiuyu was not a combat cultivator. Although she had Foundation Building cultivation, her combat power was far from the level of Foundation Building. The late-stage first-grade demonic beasts were already her limit. If it was a higher level, she wouldn't be able to handle it at all.

"Gurgle..."

Just then, a low beast roar suddenly came from beside her.

Qiuyu suddenly opened her eyes.

Looking back, she saw that beside the several demonic wolves she had killed, there was an additional White-Browed Hanging-Eyed Tiger that she didn't know when it had appeared!

And the aura on this White-Browed Hanging-Eyed Tiger was at the late-stage second-grade, or even... close to the third-grade!

Qiuyu's face suddenly changed.

She then remembered that she had forgotten to put the corpses into her storage bag while she was meditating and recovering.

And this White-Browed Hanging-Eyed Tiger, in all likelihood, was attracted by the blood scent emitted from those demonic wolf corpses!

In fact, that was exactly the case.

The White-Browed Hanging-Eyed Tiger did indeed smell the bloody scent and came over for those demonic wolves.

Originally, its target was those demonic wolves, but when it saw Qiuyu, it instantly changed its mind.

Demonic wolves were ultimately lifeless objects, even if they were fresh, it wouldn't eat them unless it was absolutely necessary.

What it liked were living creatures!

Especially... human cultivators like Qiuyu!

"Roar!"

The White-Browed Hanging-Eyed Tiger suddenly let out a long roar, and the terrifying sound waves swept up countless broken branches and fallen leaves, rushing towards Qiuyu.

Qiuyu's eyes suddenly contracted, not caring about the injuries on her body, and dodged to the side.

However...

Before she could move far away, the White-Browed Hanging-Eyed Tiger leaped up, its speed so fast that it even left a trail in the void.

Especially its pair of blade-like front paws. With one strike, even an ordinary Gold Core cultivator would lose a layer of skin!

In such a dangerous situation, Qiuyu did not dodge again.

Because...

She had nowhere to hide!
