Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Early in the morning, after Ji Boying had a deep conversation with his two wives, he was thinking about taking a break and taking them out for a walk.

At this moment, his identity token started to flicker.

However...

When he saw that the messenger was Su Xiao, a serious expression appeared on his face, which had been somewhat impatient.

After opening the message, he heard Su Xiao's voice coming from it.

"Master Ji, after receiving the message, I came to the Affairs Pavilion."

Su Qin quickly replied, then tidied up and headed towards the commercial building.

...

Affairs Pavilion.

In a elegant room...

Su Xiao brewed a cup of hot tea for Ji Boying, then smiled gently and said,

"Master Ji, it's been over a month since I transmitted two books to you. I wonder how much you have comprehended, Master Ji?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Boying quickly replied truthfully,

"Replying to Protector Su, during this month, I have only studied 'Five Elements Thunder Yuan True Explanation' and have not comprehended 'Thunder Scripture'."

"As for 'Five Elements Thunder Yuan True Explanation', I just comprehended the third level recently."

"The third level?"

Su Xiao nodded slightly, this progress was within his expectations. After all, the talented symbol cultivators of the commercial building could achieve this step within a month, and some geniuses could even comprehend the fifth level within a month!

Thinking of this, Su Xiao waved his hand casually.

A table over five feet wide suddenly appeared in front of Ji Boying.

On the table were a stack of talisman papers and a... very ordinary mortal-grade brush.

"Now that Master Ji has cultivated to the third level, it is believed that you have mastered the Integrated Union of the three levels of elemental patterns. Today, I will test Master Ji's learning achievements and also see if there are any problems in Master Ji's cultivation process."

Upon hearing this, Ji Boying's eyes lit up.

Since he discovered that the symbols on the books were examples, he had been imitating them.

Up until today, his cultivation had been smooth sailing without encountering any difficulties, let alone problems.

Therefore... he hadn't sought out Su Xiao during this month, but had been studying in seclusion according to his own methods.

But precisely because of this, Ji Boying was worried that he might have made mistakes without realizing it.

As the saying goes, those involved are often confused while onlookers see clearly.

Now that Su Xiao could take the initiative to assess and point out his problems, he naturally welcomed it.

"Thank you, Protector Su!"

Ji Boying slightly bowed to Su Xiao, his words were respectful.

Su Xiao nodded slightly, very satisfied with Ji Boying's attitude.

He walked to the side and made a gesture of invitation to Ji Boying.

Seeing this, Ji Boying quickly stood up and sat at the table.

"With Master Ji's strength, it should be no problem to handle the first level of elemental patterns, so let's start directly from the second level."

"Yes!"

Ji Boying picked up the brush and respectfully responded, as if he were a diligent student taking dictation in the classroom.

"Gold Thunder Yuan Pattern."

Su Xiao spoke in a gentle voice.

Upon hearing this, Ji Boying began to draw.

In just a few breaths, he had finished the outline.

This basic elemental pattern was not complicated. The difficulty lay in the Integrated Union between different elemental energies. As long as one could achieve the Integrated Union, drawing the elemental pattern was just a matter of a few strokes.

It was much simpler than drawing talismans.

Feeling the sharp and restless aura on the symbol, Su Xiao couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Earth Thunder Yuan Pattern."

"Fire Thunder Yuan Pattern."

...

As Ji Boying picked up the brush and drew, the elemental patterns were sometimes majestic and surging, sometimes hot and violent.

Su Xiao's eyes also showed a hint of appreciation.

He paused for a moment, then decided to raise the difficulty abruptly.

"Water, Fire, Thunder patterns."

Triple elemental patterns require accommodating three different elements. If it's the generation cycle of the Five Elements, Integrated Union would be relatively simple. But if it's the restraint cycle of the Five Elements... the difficulty would be several times higher!

As long as there is a slight deviation between the elements, the spiritual patterns cannot be completed.

The reason Su Xiao did this was to see the skill of this Seasonal Symbol Master in the art of symbols and to what extent he understood the elements of symbols.

But it didn't seem to stump Ji Boying.

He saw his pen tip drop and then rise again, and a spiritual pattern emerged, combining the qualities of Yin, softness, violence, and restlessness.

So fast?!

Seeing Ji Boying's seamless elemental pattern, the calm expression on Su Xiao's face was instantly replaced by astonishment.

Even some symbol masters who have been practicing for years may not be able to achieve this level of proficiency!

With such skill in seal symbol techniques, even if the Seasonal Symbol Master's comprehension of elemental patterns is slightly lacking, it wouldn't matter much.

Not to mention...

Now Ji Boying's speed of comprehending elemental patterns has reached the level of a genius in the trading company!

Seeing that Su Xiao didn't say anything more, Ji Boying thought that there might be something wrong with his triple elemental pattern and quickly asked, "Su Protector, is there something wrong with the symbol I drew?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiao, as if waking from a dream, quickly said, "No, there isn't!"

He picked up the symbol paper and carefully felt the power of the elements on it. After a while, he put the symbol paper back down and said with a warm smile, "The Seasonal Symbol Master's skill in seal symbols is truly admirable!"

After a moment's pause, he continued, "Although the Seasonal Symbol Master has only comprehended the third level of the Five Elements Thunder, his superior seal symbol technique allows him to start studying higher-level derivative symbols."

"Higher-level derivative symbols?"

Ji Boying was puzzled and asked, "Higher-level derivative symbols, aren't they the Three Pure Thunder derivative symbols above the Thunder Law General Outline? Don't they require at least a four-star intermediate level of symbol comprehension to comprehend?"

"Mr. Ji, don't worry."

Su Xiao smiled and said, "Indeed, the Three Pure Thunder derivative symbols do require a four-star intermediate level of symbol attainment to comprehend, but... the Great Five Thunders include not only the Three Pure Thunder, but also the Small Five Thunders."

"Small Five Thunders?"

"That's right."

Su Xiao nodded and then began to explain in detail to Ji Boying.

It turned out that the so-called Small Five Thunders were actually the combination of the Five Elements Spiritual Thunder and the Thunder Element.

They are divided into five types: Wood Thunder, Fire Thunder, Water Thunder, Metal Thunder, and Earth Thunder!

Originally, the Five Elements Spiritual Thunder, like the Exorcising Evil Divine Thunder and the Slaying God Demon Thunder, belonged to the Eight Series Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

But because the cultivation of the Five Elements Spiritual Thunder is not difficult and the corresponding derivative symbols are not extremely difficult to draw, they are used as a transition between the basic outline and the Three Pure Thunder.

Therefore, the first generation Thunder Hall Master removed the Five Elements Spiritual Thunder from the Eight Series Purple Heaven Divine Thunder and made it into the Five Elements Series.

As for the most difficult to cultivate and the most difficult to draw derivative symbol in the Eight Series Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, the Life and Death Purple Thunder, it was also removed from the Five Thunders Law and became the Silent Annihilation Life and Death Series.

"I see."

Ji Boying nodded slightly, suddenly understanding.

He had been worried before that it would be difficult to transition between the Thunder Law General Outline and the Three Pure Thunder, which might hinder his practice of derivative symbols.

Now it seems...

That worry was completely unnecessary.

"Seasonal Symbol Master."

Su Xiao smiled warmly and said, "I called you here this time for assessment purposes, and also to see if there are any problems with your current stage of practice."

"Now that the purpose has been achieved, I will contact you again when the Five Elements Spiritual Thunder derivative symbol scripture I applied for from the main hall arrives."

"In that case, I will trouble Su Protector!"

Ji Boying bowed slightly to Su Xiao, then bid farewell and left the trading company.

Seeing Ji Boying leave, Su Xiao immediately took out his identity token and transmitted the events of today to the main hall...
