Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"You... broke through?"

Su Ling looked at Ji Boying, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Yeah, lucky me. I happened to break through, which adds some assurance to this mission."

Ji Boying smiled, in a very good mood.

Su Ling's expression became slightly complicated upon hearing this.

Clearly, Ji Boying's previous blood strength was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Body. It had only been three months, so how did he manage to break through to the Yuan Martial Realm?

Could it be...

He was hiding his cultivation level?

In fact, he was already at the late stage of the Golden Body, or even consummation?

Only this explanation made sense.

After all... at that time, she only noticed that he practiced both body refining and cultivation, but she didn't pay much attention to his blood strength.

It should be noted that for ordinary body cultivators to break through from the late stage of the Golden Body to the Yuan Martial Realm, not to mention the need to collect and refine various heavenly treasures, just the time required to refine the blood and body would take several years.

Even the disciples of the Qishan Temple took nearly ten years to break through from the Golden Body to the Yuan Martial Realm.

How could someone achieve such accomplishments in just a few months?

Of course, Su Ling would never know.

The reason Ji Boying was able to break through was the result of his hard work over the past three months, facing the white snow and working day and night.

If it weren't for his entire body being covered by the Golden Body, these three months of hard work would have broken even the best hoe.

"Let's go. Suppress your Body Refining cultivation and only leave your Qi Refining cultivation. Then, come with me to meet the other Fellow Daoists who will be joining us on this mission."

After calming her mind, Su Ling didn't continue the topic but walked towards the inner city market.

"There will be other Fellow Daoists? Are they also from the trading company?"

Ji Boying activated the jade pendant, suppressing his blood strength to the level of an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator, and quickly followed.

"No."

Su Ling walked ahead and explained,

"Although the mission we received is from the trading company, the overall strategic layout involves all the righteous sects in the Eastern, Northern, and Southern continents."

"Take this mission I selected for you as an example. It involves the Tian Gang Sect, Ling Zhao Mountain, and Feng Qing Gate, the three major sects."

"As for the specific mission details and locations, they are still in the hands of the Tian Gang Sect. We are going there this time for this matter."

"Is that so..."

Ji Boying murmured softly, feeling slightly relieved.

It was even better if it was a team mission.

At that time, he only needed to stay behind the crowd and draw talismans. If the situation wasn't right, he could easily run away due to the geographical advantage.

Feeling pleased with this thought, Ji Boying's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

After about half an hour.

Following Su Ling, Ji Boying arrived at a restaurant called Zi Lan Xuan.

However...

Just as the two of them were about to enter, a late-stage Foundation Building old man blocked their way.

"Elder, Zi Lan Xuan has been booked today. Please go somewhere else, Elder!"

Su Ling didn't explain much, but directly took out the Dao Xuan Sect identity token that had been prepared long ago.

"I apologize for any offense caused. Please, Elder, come in!"

After seeing the token, the old man's face changed slightly. He quickly bowed to Su Ling and stepped aside.

Like this...

The two of them entered Zi Lan Xuan smoothly.

When they reached the top floor, they were surprised to find that there were already more than ten Gold Core cultivators gathered here.

Ji Boying roughly glanced at these people, and among them, the one with the most powerful aura... was the beautiful woman in palace attire by the window.

If nothing unexpected happens, the other party should be at the late stage of Gold Core!

While Ji Boying was observing these Gold Core cultivators, they also focused their gaze on him.

Before long, an old man next to him broke the silence.

"Fellow Daoist, are you from Dao Xuan Sect?"

"Indeed."

Su Ling nodded slightly.

"I am Su Ling, a core disciple of the inner sect of Dao Xuan Sect, under the tutelage of the newly appointed elder of the inner sect, Ling Wu Zhen Jun."

As she spoke, she pointed to Ji Boying beside her and continued to introduce:

"This is my senior brother, Ji Boying."

Ling Wu Zhen Jun?!

After hearing Su Ling's introduction, a hint of surprise flashed in Ji Boying's eyes.

Since Ling Wu broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he had been practicing outside. He never expected that Ling Wu would become an elder of Dao Xuan Sect and even take advantage of him...

Fate is truly mysterious with just one word.

"Senior brother?"

After hearing Su Ling's introduction, the expressions on the faces of the people in the hall changed slightly.

Near the tea table, an old man in a black robe chuckled, and his hoarse voice, like the friction of metal, slowly sounded.

"What Su Zhenren means... is this Foundation Building junior also one of the members of this mission?"

"Hmph! I'm afraid he is a direct disciple of one of the elders of Dao Xuan Sect, specially sent here to gain military merit, right?"

"This mission is extremely dangerous. How dare a Foundation Building cultivator infiltrate our ranks? Truly ignorant of the word 'death'!"

As the old man in black robe finished speaking, several other Gold Core cultivators also spoke up.

Their words were full of dissatisfaction.

Of course, those who remained silent also had different expressions, some calm and composed, some with a playful look, and some observing from the sidelines.

Hmm...

Su Ling was one of the latter.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, as a Foundation Building cultivator, being able to participate in our mission, I believe you must have extraordinary abilities, right?"

At this moment, the beautiful woman sitting by the window suddenly spoke.

"I am nothing special. I have some attainments in talisman dao and have reached the three-star level."

Ji Boying responded with a smile. His words and actions were calm and confident, showing no concern for the previous discussions about him.

Sure enough...

As soon as he finished speaking, the gazes of the others in the hall changed briefly.

Especially those who had spoken disrespectfully before, embarrassment was visibly written on their faces.

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Ji to be a three-star talisman master. I have been disrespectful. Please take a seat."

"Thank you!"

Ji Boying simply clasped his hands in a gesture of gratitude, and then sat next to Su Ling, opposite the beautiful woman.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the discussion directly!"

The beautiful woman chuckled lightly, then took out a scroll from her storage ring and spread it out.

Before long...

A holographic-like blue lake appeared in front of everyone.

The lake covered the entire map, occupying a large area. In addition, there were hundreds or even thousands of islands of various sizes scattered within it.

"This is our mission location - Qian Dao Lake!"

The beautiful woman stood up gracefully, swaying her graceful figure, and walked to the side of the map, explaining in a gentle voice:

"Qian Dao Lake is located in the southern part of Dongzhou. Originally, it was a desolate and uninhabited land, dominated by water descendants. But similar to Cang Long Immortal City, several sixth-grade spiritual veins were discovered beneath the main island in the lake, gradually forming a quasi-Heaven Grade main city with a population of no less than five million cultivators."

"And the content of this mission..."

"Is to destroy the sixth-grade spiritual vein beneath the main island of Qian Dao Lake!"
