Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

【Sword Heart: 111/3000】

【Sword Path Consumption: -10% (Sword Qi, Spiritual Power)】

【Sword Path Power: +10%】

【Integrated Union of Sword Heart: +100% (Requires integrating Sword Heart with the used sword, Sword Qi dissipates when Sword Heart is exhausted)】

Just like the ancestral divine symbol and ancestral blood, the Sword Heart also has the effect of reducing consumption, increasing power, and providing explosive combat strength.

Ji Boying looked at the amplification BUFF on the virtual interface and felt an urge to test it.

However...

What he didn't know was that at this moment, Li Yueyao, who was tightly embraced by him, had started to have mixed feelings.

At that time...

Li Yueyao, who had already finished communicating, was preparing to refine the heavy Yang Qi and blood in her body.

Unexpectedly, she was suddenly pulled into Ji Boying's embrace without any warning.

Immediately, she felt a pair of strong arms tightly embracing her from behind.

Although Li Yueyao had been tightly embraced by Ji Boying many times before, most of those embraces were purposeful and rough.

Even...

Several times, Li Yueyao could clearly feel that she was just a tool for Ji Boying to vent and indulge himself.

Although their relationship was only a transaction, and she had long accepted such a result in her heart without any resentment.

But... being suddenly embraced by Ji Boying without any intention to vent, her heart was greatly shaken.

In that instant...

She seemed to feel Ji Boying's affection for her.

Thinking of this...

Li Yueyao couldn't help but relax her body, allowing Ji Boying to tightly embrace her.

And her hands, as smooth as jade, tightly wrapped around Ji Boying's neck.

Like this...

The two of them embraced each other in the water barrel for a while.

Until Ji Boying finished reading the virtual panel, he got up, casually wiped off the water stains, lazily lay on the bed, and began to browse through the symbol scripture left by Su Ling.

Since breaking through to the Five-Star Symbol King...

His understanding of complex characters, spiritual patterns, spiritual diagrams, and cloud seals had reached a new level.

This progress was not an increase in understanding of new things, but rather a review and understanding of what he had already mastered.

Similar to drawing inferences from one example to another.

Because of this...

All the confusion Ji Boying had left in the first volume of the scripture was completely resolved!

As for the spiritual diagrams in the second volume, after a month of study, Ji Boying had also completely grasped them.

Although there were still doubts, as long as he continued to experiment, practice, and fill in the gaps, these doubts would naturally be answered one by one.

Based on the current progress...

It would take at most another half a year for him to completely master the second volume.

"Although I have successfully broken through to the Five-Star Symbol King, my divine soul and spiritual power intensity have not caught up, so I still can't draw Five-Star Symbol Talismans."

"I can only slightly improve efficiency when drawing Four-Star Symbol Talismans and Minor Five Thunder Talismans."

"With this level of strength, it's still a bit difficult to pass the seventh floor of the Ten Thousand Dao Tower."

"I should strive to break through the spiritual roots as soon as possible, and then ascend to the divine soul!"

"As for the Creation Pill... let's forget about it."

"With my current rate of attribute points, that thing is optional, and even if I take the Creation Pill, it's not guaranteed to break my high-grade spiritual roots into top-grade ones. After all, it's a matter of probability."

"If I were to get another new subpar spiritual root, my progress would be delayed by another three or four months!"

As his thoughts flowed, Ji Boying ultimately chose to proceed steadily.

Dongcang Xuanzhou.

A certain unnamed primitive mountain range.

A streak of light flew by at high speed, finally landing in a dense jungle deep in the mountains.

Li Pu, dressed in a green robe with white hair, was standing on a slightly higher treetop in the jungle.

He glanced at the formation disk in his hand, then looked at the mountain in front of him, murmuring softly:

"I didn't expect... there to be high-grade spiritual veins in such deep mountains and old forests."

"Tsk tsk... if it had been discovered earlier, it would probably be another Azure Dragon Immortal City."

"What a pity."

As his voice fell, he formed a hand seal with his left hand, and a faint light appeared on the tip of his finger ring. Soon, several streams of different colors shot out from it and rushed towards the mountain in front of him, eventually disappearing into the mountain.

Not long after...

The originally calm mountain range suddenly experienced an earthquake.

Then, pillars of light broke through the ground, displaying various colors.

Between the lights of the same color, there were connections of spiritual light.

In this way, different colored streams of light intertwined and eventually formed a strange pattern resembling a dragon's head.

Li Pu's toes lightly tapped the ground, and in an instant, he soared into the sky.

He carefully compared the dragon head pattern around the mountain range with the formation disk, confirming that there was no problem before continuing to fly towards the next destination.

"Searching for spiritual veins is really a difficult task. It would be great if I could go to the Southern Dark Continent."

"Never mind, since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. This is already the seventh one, only forty-two more to go!"

Unknowingly, half a year had passed.

June, the peak of summer.

The scorching sun baked the earth, causing layers of heat waves to rise.

Especially since the start of summer, there had been no rain for over a month, making the green mountains and rivers outside the Azure Dragon Immortal City appear somewhat exhausted, with curled leaves and rivers turning into streams.

Fortunately...

The high temperature on the surface had little effect on cultivators. Even the low-level cultivators were the same.

They continued to work or cultivate.

The scorching heat was also a test for themselves.

At the branch headquarters in the back mountain.

After Ji Boying finished his daily communication with his two wives, he came to the talisman room alone.

He casually drew wind elemental runes and ice elemental runes in the air, intertwining them to form an Integrated Union.

In a short while, a strange pattern appeared.

Immediately, a cool breeze blew in, and in no time, the stuffy talisman room turned into an extremely cool air-conditioned room.

Yes...

This strange pattern was a cooling talisman created by Ji Boying on a whim. Well...

It was called the Ice Wind Talisman when used externally.

A two-star level.

Although its effect was quite mediocre and not suitable for combat, it was excellent for assisting in meditation and improving the quality of life.

Due to the limited function of this talisman and the need for a two-star talisman master to draw it, Ji Boying did not sell his own work.

If it were priced according to a two-star talisman, it was estimated that no one would buy it.

Ji Boying opened his attribute panel.

Looking at the cultivation level.

Since promoting all his spiritual roots to the top grade half a year ago.

His cultivation had grown rapidly. In just half a year, he had broken through from the original Foundation Building Seventh Layer to the current Foundation Building Ninth Layer, and his spiritual power was already complete. With just one more three-star breakthrough pill, he could smoothly form his Gold Core!

"According to what Elder Wu said in the book he gave me, just like alchemists refining pills, the Gold Core condensed by cultivators will also have pill patterns."

"And... the more pill patterns, the higher the grade, and the more pure and powerful the spiritual power contained."

"Based on my current spiritual power situation, even without a Core Formation spiritual object, the Gold Core I condense should have three patterns, or even more."

"Although I don't focus on the realm of law cultivation, I won't casually break through. After all, the quality of the Gold Core also affects the advancement of future realms."

"Let's not talk about condensing a nine-pattern Gold Core, at least it should be a seven-pattern top-grade level, right?"

A smile appeared on Ji Boying's lips, and then he took out his identity token and activated it.

Not long after...

A restricted-level core material list appeared in front of him.
