Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"Master Ji!"

Just as Ji Boying knocked on the door, Su Xiao quickly came out to greet him.

"Protector Su!"

"I wonder why Protector Su has summoned me here?"

"Master Ji, please have a seat first."

Su Xiao brewed a cup of hot tea for Ji Boying and organized his words in his mind before saying,

"Although I don't know the specifics, the news from the main hall indicates that the resource allocation of the commercial firm will soon change from the original system of allocation by the main hall to a system of allocation based on individual rankings."

"Allocation based on individual rankings? What does that mean?"

Ji Boying looked at Su Xiao with some confusion.

"We will establish talent rankings, contribution rankings, and strength rankings. Resources will be allocated based on the rankings of members."

"As for the priority, strength is initially ranked first, talent second, and contribution third. There will be further discussions, but there won't be many changes."

Su Xiao sighed lightly and said with helplessness,

"The new resource allocation system is relatively fairer than the previous one, but it is not friendly to the newly emerging core members who have not yet grown."

"This is extremely disadvantageous for Master Ji. Among the three rankings, Master Ji can at most make it onto the talent ranking, so... the allocation of resources will be extremely limited."

"The conditions that were promised to Master Ji before may not be realized. I hope Master Ji... can understand!"

Listening to Su Xiao's words, Ji Boying couldn't help but frown.

The sudden change in the resource allocation system of the commercial firm caught him off guard.

He had thought that as long as he became a member of the Wan Dao Ge, his future would be smooth sailing. But now...

"Master Ji doesn't need to worry too much."

Su Xiao continued,

"The resources involved in this system reform are all from the headquarters of the commercial firm and do not involve the internal resources of the main hall."

"The main hall will still provide Master Ji with the greatest support. Whatever the main hall has, it will definitely not be stingy!"

"In addition, the ranking system breaks the inherent layout of the six main halls. For the members of the main hall, it is equivalent to a major reshuffle and also ushers in a new round of competition."

"With Master Ji's proficiency in talisman dao, after entering the Wan Dao Ge, your progress will be rapid. What belongs to Master Ji will ultimately fall into Master Ji's hands, and no one can take it away!"

Ji Boying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He didn't know how many geniuses and how much strength there were in the headquarters. How confident was he in standing out among them?

Seeing that Ji Boying was not in high spirits and his mood was somewhat depressed, Su Xiao did not continue the topic but took out a purple talisman book and said,

"This is a detailed description and explanation of the Five Elements Derived Thunder Talisman in the 'Five Elements Derived Thunder Talisman Book' that I applied for on behalf of Master Ji. In addition, there are annotations by the previous Five-Star Talisman King. Master Ji can take it back and study it carefully."

"Thank you, Protector Su!"

Ji Boying took the talisman book and expressed his gratitude.

"Master Ji, you don't need to be polite."

Su Xiao paused and then said,

"I am not proficient in talisman dao, so I can't help much with the derived talismans."

"As for talisman scripts, without the guidance of predecessors, relying solely on one's own exploration and research, progress will be limited, and... there may even be a situation where one unknowingly goes astray."

"Therefore... I have applied to the main hall for a senior talisman master who is proficient in derived talismans to replace me and provide guidance to Master Ji in talisman dao."

Saying that, Su Xiao looked at Ji Boying with a more serious gaze.

"I know that Master Ji has extraordinary talent and unique insights into talisman dao, but as I said before, relying solely on one's own exploration is still too slow."

"Now, whether it is the external situation or the internal situation of the commercial firm, there is not much time for Master Ji to grow."

"So... I hope Master Ji can treat this matter seriously, be humble and eager to learn, and strive to fully comprehend the six types of derived talismans and the Five Elements Derived Thunder Talisman as soon as possible!"

"Thank you for your concern, Protector Su."

Ji Boying bowed to Su Xiao.

"Protector Su's words have touched my heart, and I, Boying, will definitely remember them!"

"Good."

Su Xiao nodded slightly.

"The headquarters' talisman masters will not be able to come for another half a month. During this period, Master Ji can study the Five Elements Spirit Patterns. If there are any questions, you can still come to me."

"Yes!"

When Li Yueyao returned to the elegant room, she had already finished her cultivation.

She sat at the mahogany table, her fair and cold face adorned with a faint smile.

Seeing Ji Boying, who entered the room, with a somewhat solemn expression and even a distracted look, Li Yueyao couldn't help but ask softly, "Is something troubling you, young master?"

"Sort of."

Ji Boying sat down next to Li Yueyao and poured himself a cup of tea, drinking it as if it were strong liquor. After gulping it down, he slammed the teacup heavily on the table.

"Do you want Yueyao to help you with your worries?"

Li Yueyao's voice came again, but this time there was a hint of seduction in her tone.

Although Ji Boying noticed it, he didn't resist. Instead, he let himself fall into it.

Dry kindling and fierce fire.

Ignited in an instant.

Ji Boying took a step forward, pulling her into his embrace. In the moment of collision between gentleness and masculinity, there was a crackling sound, and the colorful robe shattered into countless pieces, scattering throughout the elegant room.

The land is alluring;

Even heroes bow!

After the dispersal of clouds and mist, endless beauty was revealed before him without reservation.

Turning around, pressing down.

The azure dragon emerges from the water!

Before long, enchanting celestial music slowly filled the room...

---

On the peaks of the mountain range.

Nangong Wan lazily reclined on the throne.

In front of her, several Nascent Soul cultivators knelt tremblingly.

"Reporting to the Holy Maiden, the main formations of Zhengyang City, Pingyang City, and Xieyang City have been set up and can be bloodily activated at any time!"

Just then, an old man in a black robe suddenly appeared and respectfully reported to the throne.

"Understood."

Nangong Wan's clear, cold, and ethereal voice sounded in the ears of everyone present. She slowly stood up and took a few steps forward.

The Nascent Soul cultivators who were kneeling on the ground widened their eyes and began to kowtow frantically.

"Holy Maiden, spare us! Holy Maiden, spare us!"

"I, I am willing to surrender to the Demon Temple and serve only the Holy Maiden from now on!"

"I, I am also willing to surrender to the Holy Maiden!"

Nangong Wan looked expressionlessly at these Nascent Soul cultivators and indifferently said, "The Demon Temple doesn't accept trash."

As soon as her words fell, there was a loud bang, and the several Nascent Soul True Immortals were instantly turned into blood mist.

Nangong Wan casually made a move, and the scattered blood mist quickly gathered, forming a slender red thread that entered her fingertips.

At the same time...

The distorted space around her intensified once again.

Buzz!

Just then, the void distorted once more.

A powerful sword intent suddenly appeared, and before long, an old man in a coarse robe walked out of the void.

"You've reached the fourth level of Soul Formation?"

The old man looked at Nangong Wan, his aged and vigorous voice tinged with a hint of surprise.

Nangong Wan nodded slightly and said softly, "After the blood sacrifice of the three main cities, including Zhengyang City, I can continue to break through to the fifth level of Soul Formation."

"Isn't it too fast?"

The old man's face showed some concern.

"How can it be too fast?"

Nangong Wan shook her head, determination shining in her resolute gaze.

"We don't have much time left. I must become the next Heavenly Sovereign before the Lord of the Temple breaks through the Five Continents Barrier."
