Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Chapter 193 The Storm Is Coming

After a brief encounter at the restaurant, Ji Boying returned directly to his cave and began to continue making talismans.

After all, the real mission was scheduled to begin at midnight ten days later.

Qi Yan's plan was simple.

Using the Tianmo Order, she would disguise herself as a casual cultivator recruited by the Tianmo Temple.

After all, the Tianmo Temple was secretly recruiting people this time, so... those demonic cultivators didn't know who else had pledged allegiance to the Tianmo Temple like themselves.

As for setting up the "Nine Dragons Shaking the Earth Formation," no one knew what this formation represented until they saw the complete formation.

So...

After some planning, Qi Yan asked the formation master to set up a small third-level killing formation outside each formation flag to confuse the people from the Tianmo Temple.

If asked, they would say it was specifically designed to deal with the aristocratic families in Qiandao Lake.

In this way, Qi Yan could naturally ask the Tianmo Temple to help protect the formation flags.

This plan made Ji Boying secretly amazed.

"I don't know why... but it feels strange."

Ji Boying, sitting cross-legged in front of the table, looked at the talisman scripture in front of him and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Moreover, before tonight, this mission clearly had no hope at all, but... after all the trouble caused by the Tianmo Temple, there is even more certainty."

"Could it be too smooth?"

With this thought, Su Ling's words to Ji Boying that day echoed in his mind.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, just remember one thing, the main purpose of this mission is to hone your talisman skills."

"Hone talisman skills!"

"Su Ling asked me to mainly hone my talisman skills, indicating that she is not optimistic about this mission, and... she didn't have any hope for it from the beginning."

If it were someone else, Ji Boying wouldn't care so much.

But the one speaking was Su Ling!

Who is Su Ling?

A member of the Wan Dao Trading Company's headquarters, the Wan Dao Pavilion!

Among the core members, she represents the Wan Dao Trading Company.

If there really is spiritual marrow under the spiritual vein, would the headquarters of the trading company be so negligent?

More than a dozen Gold Core cultivators taking on such a big task, in Ji Boying's opinion, it was indeed negligent.

If Ji Boying were in charge, knowing that there is spiritual marrow under Qiandao Lake, he would spare no effort, both openly and secretly, to destroy it!

He wouldn't even have any hope of obtaining this spiritual marrow!

This is a situation where there is no end until death!

Ji Boying took a deep breath and simply put down the talisman pen. Then he lay down on the ground, intending to empty his mind and rest.

He wasn't very smart, and even if he wanted to think about many things, he might not be able to come up with a reason.

Otherwise, during the college entrance examination, he wouldn't have been foolish enough to choose a sunset industry that only involved manual labor.

Nor would he have chosen a garbage company that paid less and had more work after graduation.

With this thought, Ji Boying simply gave up.

"Let nature take its course!"

"My goal is just to hone my talisman skills!"

---

In the Central Holy Continent.

At the headquarters of the Wan Dao Trading Company, on a mountain peak covered in various rusty and damaged swords.

A figure in green stood alone.

Behind her stood an old man wearing a green robe, his right arm covered in armor, and his left sleeve empty.

The old man's name was Li Changfeng, the Lord of the Sword Forest Hall of the Six Great Main Halls.

When he was young, he accidentally had his left arm cut off during a fight.

Originally, he could have reattached his left arm, but... the old man found that without his left arm, he seemed to be more skillful with the sword. Over time, he simply gave up on the arm that didn't hold a sword.

After all, he didn't practice dual swords or two-handed swords.

Keeping his left arm seemed to serve no purpose other than aesthetics.

And that's why.

Nowadays, in the land of the Five Continents, the old man is the only one who has cultivated the Sword Law to the extreme, and even touched the threshold of the Sword Dao.

"Is the Grand Lord really going to set up this situation with the Heavenly Demon Hall?"

Li Changfeng looked at the Wan Dao Divine Lord in green clothes and asked softly.

"Things have come to this point, and I have no way out with the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Hall. Similarly, there is no way out in the land of the Five Continents."

The Wan Dao Divine Lord shook her head slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.

This time, she used her own voice.

In her ethereal voice, there was a hint of paleness.

"So be it."

Li Changfeng sighed lightly and said, "The Five Continents have been peaceful for three thousand years, and it's time to repay what we owed in the past."

The Wan Dao Divine Lord smiled and said, "If Li Lao can support it, Qingyi will have no regrets."

"I'm old, and the only thing I can do to help you is this." The old man shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his words, as if the hero was in his twilight years.

"I just hope that after the Wan Dao Divine Altar is opened, that kid Li Pu can truly comprehend the way of the sword!"

"It's a pity that besides the Sword Spirit Root, he also has a different kind of Yang Spirit Root. Otherwise, with his Innate Sword Bone, how could he end up like this?"

"There are not so many things that go smoothly in the world."

The Wan Dao Divine Lord said with a smile, "If Li Pu didn't have a different kind of Yang Spirit Root, even if the remaining Sword Spirit Root was only of the highest quality, with the Innate Sword Bone, my senior brother and I wouldn't have ended up like this."

"He alone can quell the calamity of the eclipse!"

"Li Pu's talent is already very good. Among the five main disciples of the Wan Dao Pavilion and the three inheritors, I still have the highest hopes for Li Pu."

"Even Su Ling falls short because her Dao is not pure enough and she carries too much on her mind."

At this point, the old man seemed to think of something and said softly, "I heard that the Heavenly Thunder Hall has also found a successor? I wonder if the Grand Lord knows anything about it?"

"I've only heard a little bit."

The Wan Dao Divine Lord shook her head slightly and said, "The Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Hall specifically applied to me for this matter, asking Su Ling to be their mentor, and then applied for the assessment of the Wan Dao Pavilion."

"Calculating the time, the various hall masters and elders should have completed the review."

"This kid is quite lucky. If he can pass the assessment, it will coincide with the announcement of the rankings."

"Among the six main halls, the Heavenly Thunder Hall is the weakest and has the fewest resources. If he can make it onto the rankings, it can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"If the Grand Lord says so, Luo Ya is probably going to be angry."

"The Sword Tomb only has you and Li Lao, so how would she know what we said?"

The Wan Dao Divine Lord's ethereal voice carried a hint of playfulness.

She looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. In another half a month at most, the layout of the entire Eastern Cyan Xuan Continent will be realized. Qingyi will take her leave first!"

"Go then..."

---

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Under Qi Yan's arrangement.

The Nine Dragons Shaking the Earth Formation Flags had all been set up!

Everything was proceeding according to the pre-made plan, in an orderly manner.

Until tonight at midnight...

The formation would be fully activated!

If nothing unexpected happened, this mission would also be completely successful after midnight!

In the cave, Ji Boying tidied up his talismans.

Perhaps because he was feeling a bit uneasy, Ji Boying took out the annotations given to him by Su Ling and began to study them.

Until...
