Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

These fishermen are either old or young, and most of them are at the initial stage of Qi cultivation, at least...

Ji Boying's gaze swept across the area, and the highest cultivation level he saw was only at the third level of Qi cultivation.

Moreover...

They all share a common characteristic.

They are thin, with a weak aura, pale complexion, and no trace of color!

They look like they have been seriously ill, no...

More like the vampires on TV who haven't had fresh blood in a long time!

"Would you like to take a boat, gentlemen?"

"It costs one low-grade spirit stone per person!"

At this moment, a skinny old man hurriedly walked over.

Although his face was filled with a warm smile, Ji Boying felt uncomfortable and even a little repulsed by that smile.

"Xiaoyu Reef."

At this moment, Jiang Munian took out three low-grade spirit stones from his pocket and threw them in front of the old man.

"Alright!"

The old man quickly picked up the three spirit stones from the muddy ground, wiped them briefly, and put them in his own pocket.

Seeing this scene, Ji Boying couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly.

But he didn't say anything, instead following Jiang Munian towards the small fishing boat.

After leaving the dock, Ji Boying silently surveyed the surroundings, but then he heard Jiang Munian's voice in his mind.

"Xiaoyou Ji probably hasn't had much contact with demonic cultivators, right?"

Ji Boying's eyes flickered slightly at the words, but quickly returned to calm.

Then, Jiang Munian's voice continued to sound in his mind...

"Although demonic cultivators are not much different from us righteous cultivators, their cultivation methods and Body Refining techniques are different."

"But... due to historical reasons, demonic cultivators have a deep hatred for us righteous cultivators."

"Even some extremely evil demonic cultivators, relying on their strong cultivation base, don't regard low-level righteous cultivators as human beings."

Upon hearing this, Ji Boying's heart couldn't help but ripple again.

He quickly transmitted his voice, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you, Senior Jiang, for your guidance!"

"I hope Senior Jiang can forgive my previous rudeness."

"Hahaha... Xiaoyou Ji is too polite."

...

An hour later.

The small fishing boat supported by the old man docked at a small pier.

Just like the lakeside before.

This pier also gathered many fishermen wearing straw hats and raincoats.

Unlike the lakeside, the fishermen on the island not only had higher cultivation levels, but their complexion also appeared healthier.

Of course, this was only relative.

In fact, the aura emanating from these fishermen was still weak and sickly.

As if their vital energy and blood essence had been drained away.

Hiss...

Their vital energy and blood essence had been drained away!

Ji Boying suddenly realized something and looked at Jiang Munian. He was about to transmit his voice, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave up.

In fact, whether he asked or not, Ji Boying could basically confirm what he was thinking.

These righteous cultivators, such as the fishermen, should have had their vital energy and blood essence forcibly drained by demonic cultivators using blood sacrifice techniques.

As for why they weren't killed...

If nothing unexpected happened, those demonic cultivators probably just treated them as livestock to be raised.

When their vital energy and blood essence recovered to a certain extent, or when they needed to use vital energy and blood essence urgently, they would be harvested collectively.

They really don't regard righteous cultivators as human beings.

"Let's find a place to settle down first."

As his thoughts turned, Qi Yan transmitted his voice to the two of them.

"As for the specific task arrangements, we can discuss them after finding the location where the formation flag needs to be set up."

"Before that, let's familiarize ourselves with the environment of Qiandao Lake."

"Also, if you encounter members of other groups, do not approach them. Treat them as ordinary passersby."

"As for Fellow Daoist Ji..." Qi Yan's voice paused slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he continued, "Before finding the location to place the formation flag, it would be best for Fellow Daoist Ji to familiarize himself with the environment on the island and try to blend in with the demonic cultivators."

"If that is not possible... then it's better not to go out and focus on making talismans."

"Yes!"

Ji Boying responded politely.

However, he felt slightly displeased in his heart.

"Being looked down upon!" he thought.

But his previous performance was indeed a bit careless, so he would have to be more careful in the future.

The same mistake cannot be made twice.

Before long, the three of them arrived at a place similar to an inn or guesthouse in their previous lives, where they could rent cultivation caves for a short period of time.

The innkeeper and the servants were also righteous cultivators.

And their cultivation levels were obviously better than those fishermen outside.

Especially the innkeeper, who was no different from a normal person, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Building.

Jiang Muniann was still the one who dealt with them.

Perhaps because of their identities as demonic cultivators, and the fact that all three of them displayed Foundation Building cultivation, the innkeeper gave them a discount.

They only needed one thousand low-grade spirit stones for three high-grade cultivation caves.

The three of them did not live in the same place.

They were free to arrange themselves until they found the location for the formation flag.

After entering the cultivation cave, Ji Boying immediately began to meditate and think about how to integrate into the island or make himself appear more like a demonic cultivator.

After thinking it over, Ji Boying decided to go to the commercial district.

He could learn there.

The commercial district was the best place to study and understand the habits of demonic cultivators.

And then... there were the restaurants.

Restaurants were also places where cultivators easily gathered, and within the restaurants, one could hear recent news about Qian Dao Lake and even roughly deduce the distribution of power.

Yes!

That's the plan!

First, go to these two places!

But before that, he needed to establish a new identity for himself.

It would be best to establish a foothold in Qian Dao Lake with a certain identity...

But before that, he needed to change his appearance and physique.

With different looks, he could wander around Qian Dao Lake a few times. After becoming familiar with it, he could then establish his new identity.

As for disguising himself, he didn't need any disguise technique. With his body cultivation reaching the Golden Body Realm, he could control every inch of his flesh and blood. Disguising himself would be a piece of cake!

That's the plan...

When he left the cultivation cave, it was already dusk on the second day.

Since he didn't have many spirit stones on him, Ji Boying also drew a batch of two-star medium-grade talismans and a few two-star high-grade talismans during this period.

As for the quality, he controlled them to be of red high-grade and crane-grade, especially those two-star high-grade talismans, which he controlled to be red.

He did this naturally to avoid attracting attention. If they were all high-grade or even top-grade, it would inevitably draw attention.

Compared to righteous cultivators, demonic cultivators were generally more flamboyant.

Ji Boying wanted to be flamboyant but didn't want to attract attention, so he could only announce to the outside world that he was a somewhat accomplished two-star high-grade talisman master. Although it was a bit difficult to draw high-grade talismans, he had more than enough skill to draw medium-grade talismans.

In addition, in order to avoid being targeted, Ji Boying did not choose the small coral reef but instead chose the larger Fish Island, which had a larger area and more cultivators.

---

A few hours later...

As soon as Ji Boying arrived at Fish Island, he saw a bustling scene that was no weaker than the outer city of Fulong City.

Immediately, seven or eight Foundation Building cultivators rushed over.

"Is this your first time on Fish Island, sir? Do you need a guide? I know the market on Fish Island like the back of my hand. It only costs one spirit stone!"

The teenager who was at the forefront hurriedly spoke.

Ji Boying glanced at the group upon hearing this.

He didn't expect... that there were guides in this place.

Could it be... that there were more demonic cultivators coming to this side?

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Boying pointed at the teenager who was leading the group and said, "It's you."
