Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Ji Boying fell silent.

The entire room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Sun Youfu lowered his head and let out a sigh.

After a while, he spoke, "Although Miss hasn't returned yet, the family will know about this when she returns."

"If the Lingdan Pavilion can be relocated to another area, there wouldn't be much to worry about. Mr. Ji and others can also settle in the Lingdan Pavilion."

"But... now, almost all the land in Fulong City is monopolized by the aristocratic families and sects. It's unlikely that the Lingdan Pavilion can move. Mr. Ji should be prepared for the worst."

"Do the righteous sects like the Crimson Flame Sect not care about this?"

Ji Boying looked at Sun Youfu with some confusion.

"How could they not care?"

Sun Youfu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"As early as when the demonic cultivators wanted to get a share of the Soul Formation ruins, the righteous sects, including the Crimson Flame Sect, had already gone to negotiate."

"But..."

"The negotiations ended in failure. Even the late Nascent Soul stage elder of the Crimson Flame Sect returned with injuries and even damaged his foundation."

"I heard that the family said that this elder has completely lost the chance of longevity and will never achieve Soul Formation in this lifetime."

Sun Youfu let out a sigh, his eyes filled with helplessness.

"The demonic sects have always been stronger than the righteous sects. Over the years, they have secretly accumulated strength and now have over a hundred Nascent Soul experts, and even several late Nascent Soul stage cultivators!"

"The balance between the righteous and demonic paths in the past is likely to be gone."

"At least for the next thousand years, the Eastern Cyan Profound Continent will be dominated by the demonic path."

Upon hearing these words, Ji Boying's mind became a mess.

After a while, he took a deep breath and bowed to Sun Youfu, saying softly, "Brother Sun, I have something to attend to. I won't keep you company any longer."

Without waiting for Sun Youfu to see him off, Ji Boying walked straight out.

---

After leaving the Lingdan Pavilion, Ji Boying's face remained gloomy.

He had anticipated that Fulong City would become more chaotic after the second expansion, with a mix of all kinds of people, and even expected the appearance of many bandits.

But what he didn't expect was that not only bandits, but also demonic cultivators would come!

Bandits were involved in activities such as killing and looting, things that couldn't see the light of day. Moreover, their cultivation levels were generally not too high. As long as they were in crowded places, they would be somewhat wary.

But if it was the latter...

Demonic cultivators were always domineering and unscrupulous. They would fight to the death at the slightest disagreement, and sometimes even resort to violence just because someone looked at them.

They didn't care about their own lives, let alone the lives of others!

"Three months!"

Ji Boying tightly clenched his fist.

"In these three months, no matter what, I must find a way to break through to the Golden Body Realm!"

With this thought in mind, Ji Boying quickened his pace and headed towards the Wandao Trading House.

Today, he happened to receive his share of the money, and he also had some talismans to sell. After exchanging them for spirit stones, he would buy a top-grade detoxification pill.

In addition...

He could also buy a few more talisman manuals and techniques.

His wife, Xiao Ninger, had a talent for talismans that was even more extraordinary than his own.

Three months ago, when the two of them worked together to make talismans, they successfully created second-grade high-quality talismans that surpassed their cultivation levels.

Although there were some bumps along the way, they ultimately succeeded.

After that, as they practiced more and more, their mutual understanding deepened, and their success rate and the quality of the talismans improved.

Until Ji Boying broke through to become a high-grade talisman master, their joint talisman-making reached a level where they could do whatever they wanted without overstepping the boundaries.

After Ji Boying broke through to become a high-grade talisman master, he also tried making talismans alone.

But whether it was the success rate, time, or quality, it was not as good as when they worked together!

Especially the success rate. The level of cooperation between the two of them had almost reached 100%!

At least in the past month, they had never failed once.

When Ji Boying made talismans alone, his success rate was only 80%, and even for some difficult high-grade talismans, the success rate was less than 50%.

After considering it comprehensively, Ji Boying simply gave up on the idea of making talismans on his own. After all, the experience is the same, so why bother?

"Mr. Ji, you brought a total of 5830 middle-grade spirit stones this time!"

In the reception room, Qiu Yu smiled and helped Ji Boying with the tea.

The way she addressed him changed from "Master Ji" to "Mr. Ji" now.

From the time they met until now, it has only been half a year.

It was just a good deed done out of a chance encounter, but little did she know that in the past six months, he had surprised her time and time again.

It was also because of Ji Boying that her position in the Wan Dao Commercial Firm had risen, and her treatment had improved significantly compared to before.

Now, Qiu Yu had become the most valued among the many stewards in the Wan Dao Commercial Firm.

"I wonder what Mr. Ji would like to purchase this time?"

Qiu Yu sat next to Ji Boying and asked softly.

"Top-grade Detoxification Pills."

Without hesitation, Ji Boying spoke up.

"Also, could you please recommend a treasure-level sword weapon for me, Fellow Daoist Qiu?"

Qiu Yu nodded slightly and said,

"The top-grade Detoxification Pills will be sold at the same price as last time, 24,000 middle-grade spirit stones. How about that?"

"Okay."

Ji Boying did not refuse Qiu Yu's kindness or the Wan Dao Commercial Firm's favor.

After all, he needed to improve his strength as soon as possible, and spirit stones would never be enough. Since the other party was willing to give him a discount, he accepted it.

He could always repay this favor in the future.

"As for the sword weapon... Mr. Ji, would you like a flying sword or a handheld sword?"

"Handheld."

It wasn't that Ji Boying didn't want a flying sword, but at his current level, he couldn't fully harness the power of a flying sword.

Besides...

Ji Boying was on the path of body cultivation, and a handheld sword was more suitable for him than a flying sword.

"Among handheld swords, would you like a heavy sword, a light sword, or a regular sword?"

"A regular sword will do."

Qiu Yu nodded slightly and then brought a scroll, smiling sweetly.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, please take a look at the sword weapons currently available for sale. Once you have decided on a specific price range, I will make a recommendation."

Ji Boying nodded slightly and opened the scroll to start looking.

But when he saw the first sword, he couldn't help but gasp.

Fortunately...

The treasures on the scroll were not sorted by price but by attributes.

But even so, the cheapest sword exceeded 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones!

Truly worthy of being a sword cultivator!

Fortunately, in the past three months, Ji Boying had saved up quite a few spirit stones.

"Please recommend one that is around 20,000."

After completing his purchase at the commercial firm, Ji Boying did not linger and headed directly towards the direction of Yu Xia Mountain.

As for Qiu Yu...

After bidding farewell to Ji Boying, she went to the room where the shopkeeper was.

"What did Master Ji buy this time?"

The middle-aged man asked with a smile while splashing ink with a brush.

"Shopkeeper, Master Ji bought a top-grade Detoxification Pill and a treasure-level sword worth 21,000 middle-grade spirit stones."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and waved his hand, finishing the calligraphy in front of him.

"Counting this time, how many spirit stones has Master Ji spent in our commercial firm?"

Qiu Yu answered softly,

"Counting this time, Master Ji has spent a total of 92,350 middle-grade spirit stones."

"Over ninety thousand spirit stones..."

The middle-aged man chuckled lightly.

"But the talismans he sells don't even reach thirty thousand spirit stones!"
