Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

The store has been open for a month.

During the opening period, the store attracted a lot of traffic due to the incident involving the Huangji Sect.

Moreover, the customer retention rate has reached over 60%.

Of course... more than 99% of these 60% are male cultivators, including Nascent Soul True Immortals.

As for why they keep coming back...

Isn't it true that bad horses are always hoping for a little bit of grass to turn back?

Hmm...

This grass can be a noun or a verb.

Of course, those who can cultivate to the Gold Core stage are not fools, especially those in the Nascent Soul stage. After seeing no hope, they won't stubbornly stay here.

So...

Ji Boying changed his appearance several times, concealed his aura, and disguised himself as various wealthy individuals such as rich businessmen and playboys. Then, he would spend a fortune in the store, easily throwing tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones or even hundreds of thousands of them.

In the end, in front of everyone's eyes, he would take away the beautiful receptionists they had been longing for but couldn't have.

Originally, Nascent Soul cultivators who had given up or were observing from the beginning saw this scene and instantly ignited hope in their hearts.

Especially those young masters from prestigious families who came because of the store's reputation, they were even more driven by Ji Boying's provocation to engage in intense competition.

In this way...

After several stimulations from Ji Boying, the customer flow in the store finally stabilized at a relatively steady state.

Apart from that, there is one more thing worth mentioning.

During this period, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator took a liking to a sweet maid on the second floor of the store and wanted to take her out to play some "love games".

However...

The girls from the Phoenix Cry Pavilion had already secretly given their hearts to someone, especially after Ji Boying let them taste the taste of the Red Yang Qi to level up his skills. Now, they couldn't care less about the Qi and blood of this mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Although they wore polite and sweet smiles on their faces, their hearts were calm, and even a little bit of resentment and disgust.

Therefore, the invited little girl unsurprisingly declined the invitation from the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Of course, the main reason was that the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was too old and looked ugly.

If he were handsome, elegant, and pleasing to the eye, she wouldn't have resisted so much.

When everyone saw this scene, they thought that the Nascent Soul cultivator would give up.

But unexpectedly, the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator became furious and, relying on his cultivation at the Soul Formation stage, which was almost invincible below that level, wanted to use force to forcibly take away the sweet little girl.

This action instantly attracted a lot of onlookers.

A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator can be said to be invincible below the Soul Formation stage. In the store, the receptionists are mostly Foundation Building cultivators, even the shopkeeper is only at the Gold Core stage.

As for the previous four-star Master of Talismans, although his talisman battle strength can be comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator's attack, talisman masters are not martial cultivators. In a direct confrontation, they are naturally no match.

Of course, this is only the case in a one-on-one fight.

Behind most four-star mid-grade talisman masters, there is a powerful force supporting them.

What they care about is which force the Master of Talismans is affiliated with and how they will handle this late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Just when they thought everything would develop as they had guessed...

Suddenly, a flash of sword light burst out, catching everyone off guard, and directly severely injuring the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Immediately after, a cold voice echoed throughout the store.

It ordered the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to leave immediately, or else he would be killed on the spot.

The late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator originally wanted to rage, but... the power of that sword just now truly surprised him. Coupled with the fact that he couldn't determine the opponent's true strength for a moment and that he was in someone else's territory, after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to leave directly.

It was this sword that directly shattered the ambitions of those who wanted to bully others and use force.

As for the person who wielded this sword, it was naturally Li Yueyao.

If it were a head-on fight, Li Yueyao would definitely not be a match for the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. However, she had the advantage of taking him by surprise and the fact that sword cultivators themselves could elevate one's perception of their cultivation level. That's why...

It made the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator fear the unexpected and not dare to push his luck.

Some time passed.

During this period, Ji Boying received a message from Su Xiao, saying that the competition for the successor position in the headquarters was about to begin, tentatively at the end of May, and asked if he had time to go and take a look.

Because among the talented participants in the competition, there happened to be Su Ling!

So...

Ji Boying hardly hesitated and agreed directly.

For this reason, he also specifically requested a lot of information about this competition for the successor position.

There are a total of five talented individuals participating in the competition.

Wan Dao Ge: Xuan Yin Hall, Thunder Cultivator Nie Ming;

Wan Dao Ge: Sword Forest Hall, Sword Cultivator Li Pu;

Wan Dao Ge: Qi Mountain Hall, Body Cultivator Du Chengwu;

Wan Dao Ge: Main Hall, Symbol Cultivator Su Ling;

Wan Dao Ge: Main Hall, Law Cultivator Luan Tian.

These five individuals not only have outstanding talent and strong strength, but they are also the top combat power on the Daybreak Rankings.

Especially Luan Tian, he is ranked fifty-first on the Daybreak Rankings!

Just one step away, he can enter the top fifty and become the top combat power of the Wan Dao Trading Company, and even the entire continent!

At the same time, Luan Tian is also the most promising talent in this competition for the successor position.

Because he possesses the extremely rare Innate Enlightenment Body, he comprehends all laws and is not hindered in the study of cultivation techniques, skills, and various scriptures. He truly practices effortlessly.

It is precisely because of the existence of this Innate Enlightenment Body that he reached the late stage of Soul Formation in less than three hundred years, and cultivated the arts of symbols, swords, pills, and formations to the six-star level!

Especially in the way of the sword, it is rumored that ten years ago, he had already grasped a trace of the essence of swordsmanship!

Among the entire Wan Dao Trading Company, in terms of swordsmanship realm and heritage, he is enough to rank among the top five!

Such achievements and talent make even Ji Boying, who possesses the Goldfinger, envy and jealous, truly invincible as the protagonist.

In addition to Luan Tian, there is another person who is highly regarded, and some even believe that he has a better chance of winning the successor position than Luan Tian. Although many core members have reservations about this talented individual inheriting the company...

This talented individual is Du Chengwu from the Qi Mountain Hall, the only one who entered the company without participating in any assessment and directly entered the Wan Dao Ge, becoming the successor designated by the Qi Mountain Hall's Hall Master Tong Zhen.

Of course, this position as the main hall's successor is only granted when Du Chengwu fails to win the position of the main hall's successor.

Du Chengwu was originally a child from an ordinary family in the Western Spirit Platform Continent.

Two hundred years ago, Tong Zhen wanted to visit the Buddha Kingdom Vajra, and happened to pass by a small town where a group of children were playing on the street.

Originally, Tong Zhen would just casually take a look at this kind of thing, treating it as a fleeting glimpse of the mortal world.

But who would have thought... with just one look, he discovered Du Chengwu, who stood out among the group of children!

Although there was no obvious difference in appearance compared to the other children, short and thin, with dark and dry skin due to playing outside all year round in the dry Western Region.

But even so, Tong Zhen still noticed the difference in Du Chengwu. This difference cannot be explained or understood, it can be said to be a natural closeness, like... a bloodline connection!

Of course, Tong Zhen would not think that this little kid was his unintentionally abandoned child.

This is not a question of whether the treasure is old or not, but rather, he lost interest in this aspect after becoming the Hall Master of the Qi Mountain Hall.

Going off on a tangent...

Let's get back to the point.

Driven by curiosity, Tong Zhen, after discussing with Du Chengwu, directly brought him back to the Qi Mountain Hall.

As for Du Chengwu's parents, this little tyrant is an orphan who was born and raised by beggars. Therefore, after leaving a large amount of spirit stones, Tong Zhen left the Buddha Kingdom under the grateful gaze of the beggars.

As for cultivation?

After picking up such a big treasure, who cares about cultivation!
