Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

In a quiet room.

After more than ten days of continuous drawing.

Ji Boying finally completed three top-quality dragon-colored talismans before running out of the last piece of talisman paper.

Feeling the dangerous aura emanating from the talisman paper, as well as the restless Thunder Element, Ji Boying no longer had the strength to suppress it.

He waved his hand slightly, and more than ninety other talismans on the table were all stored in the storage ring, leaving only the three top-quality talismans on the formation disk.

In an instant, three dragon-colored beams of light shot up, illuminating the entire room.

Earth-grade inferior assessment—passed!

Time taken: 152 hours!

Consumables used: 99 pieces of talisman paper!

Looking at the dazzling dragon-colored beams of light, a smile appeared on the corner of Ji Boying's mouth. Then he lay down on the ground in a prone position and fell into a deep sleep.

The intense talisman-making for more than ten consecutive days had already overwhelmed Ji Boying's Late Gold Core stage divine soul.

The amount of talismans made in these ten-plus days had already exceeded what he made in a month at home.

After all...

At home, he spent at least six hours communicating with his two wives, and another half an hour comprehending the "True Explanation of Thunder Law". As for the remaining time, half was spent making talismans alone, and the other half was spent making talismans together with his wife, Xiaoning'er.

The pressure was not great, and it was even quite enjoyable.

But in the assessment room, Ji Boying used all his time for talisman-making except for resting. Only in this way could he complete ninety-nine talismans in just over ten days!

Among these ninety-nine talismans, seventy were successful because they were made in the best condition.

Among the seventy successful talismans, only nineteen were excellent.

As for top-quality...

There were only three!

If Ji Boying hadn't rested for an hour before making the last talisman and had a very relaxed mindset, he probably wouldn't have passed this time.

After all, if the ninety-ninth talisman failed, it meant that there was only one last chance, and the pressure naturally skyrocketed.

Already exhausted mentally and physically, Ji Boying's state of mind during talisman-making would undoubtedly be very poor if he faced such pressure again.

Like this...

Ji Boying slept for about three or four hours before he groggily got up from the ground and walked towards the exit of the quiet room.

However...

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Wuyuan Yu talking to a female steward.

And...

It also attracted the attention of many other stewards around.

"Elder Wu?"

"Mr. Ji!"

After seeing Ji Boying, Wuyuan Yu bypassed the female steward and took back the jade pendant in her hand, quickly walking up to Ji Boying.

"Why did Mr. Ji come out just now? Could it be..."

"I tried to assess the Earth-grade inferior guest position."

Ji Boying said with a smile.

Seeing Ji Boying's relaxed and carefree smile, Wuyuan Yu seemed to have guessed something.

But...

He still couldn't believe it.

That was the Earth-grade inferior assessment! Many four-star inferior talisman masters couldn't pass it, but Ji Boying, a three-star talisman master, could?

He asked tentatively, "It seems that Mr. Ji passed?"

"By a stroke of luck."

Ji Boying smiled faintly. This time, he wasn't being modest. He really was lucky.

If it weren't for his good luck and extraordinary performance, he wouldn't have passed.

Although he had already guessed the result and prepared himself mentally, Wuyuan Yu's heart still surged and couldn't calm down for a long time.

With his three-star talisman mastery, he passed an assessment that many four-star talisman masters couldn't pass.

Without any surprises, Ji Boying would definitely have a place in the Wan Dao Pavilion in the future!

Wuyuan Yu took a deep breath and slightly bowed to Ji Boying, sincerely praising, "Mr. Ji's talisman skills are truly... breathtaking!"

"Elder Wu is too kind."

"The talisman master assessment is extremely mentally exhausting. Mr. Ji has just passed the assessment, and I believe he must be physically and mentally exhausted. I won't disturb you any longer. Mr. Ji, please rest for a while."

"During this period, I will have everything prepared properly. When Mr. Ji comes to the commercial hall next time, you only need to sign and confirm."

"Thank you for your trouble, Elder Wu!"

Ji Boying didn't bother with pleasantries and left the Trial Pavilion directly after expressing his gratitude.

He was truly tired.

Although he had rested for a few hours, it was only physical recovery. His spiritual energy still needed the assistance of elixirs for restoration.

In an unknown mountain range in Dongcang Xuanzhou.

A flying boat with the words "Wan Dao" swiftly shuttled through the sea of clouds.

As usual, Gu Xuyao handed over control of the control room to his subordinates and began sitting in his room, drinking while reading local legends.

He didn't have many hobbies, just enjoying a drink and reading about strange places.

After all, as a pure martial cultivator, besides daily meditation, his life was dull and boring.

Just as he was engrossed in reading, when a white figure appeared, his identity token suddenly started to flicker.

Gu Xuyao furrowed his brows and picked up the token. Seeing that it was a message from Wu Yuanyu, his face immediately darkened.

Impatiently, he opened the communication array and asked in a bad tone, "What do you want from me?"

"Mr. Ji? Which Mr. Ji... Wait, you mean Ji Boying, Mr. Ji Qing?!"

"I understand. I will report to the Lord immediately!"

After closing the communication array, Gu Xuyao paused for a moment, his gaze vacant as he sat in place.

After a while, he picked up the identity token again.

"Lord, Xuyao has something to report..."

Since returning from the assessment at the Shang Trading Company, Ji Boying spent his days being affectionate with his two wives. After all, the assessment had taken up half a month of his time, so now that he was back, he naturally wanted to make up for it!

During this period, Ji Boying challenged himself again and helped Xiao Ninger cultivate her mental fortitude.

Ji Boying changed their previous practice of making talismans together to a three-person formation.

He also had Ye Qingqing join in.

However, due to the high difficulty, the success rate of making talismans was not ideal. If it weren't for Xiao Ninger's natural affinity for talismans, she would probably have lost her pants in the past few days.

Fortunately, after a few days of practice, Ji Boying and Xiao Ninger barely adapted to this excitement, and the success rate of making talismans gradually became normal.

[Experience exchange: +140 (1.17 million/10,000 words)]

[Realm bonus: None]

[Effect bonus: 60%]

[Life and death together: 200%]

[Auxiliary bonus: 200%]

[Free attribute points: +45]

[Skill attribute points (Talisman Dao): +45]

[Innate divine talisman: +45 (197,000/300,000)]

As a blank space swept across, Xiao Ninger's body trembled slightly, and she raised her brush along with the talisman.

Immediately, crackling sounds of electricity came from the talisman paper.

Then, with a breath of annihilation and a strong thunder element, the entire living room was instantly filled.

Ji Boying quickly condensed his sword intent to suppress the talisman paper and stacked it aside.

"Ninger, you're getting more and more amazing! This time, you actually drew a top-grade Heavenly Thunder Talisman!"

Wearing a purple and white dress, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but exclaim when she felt the terrifying breath of annihilation on the talisman paper.

Ji Boying smiled slightly and lightly bit Xiao Ninger's earlobe, saying softly, "Yes, in just five days, Ninger's success rate has increased from less than 30% to over 50%, and today she even drew a top-grade talisman. With such proficiency in talisman dao, even I have to bow down!"

Xiao Ninger blushed at the heat in Ji Boying's breath.

After all, the earlobe was one of the sensitive areas, and no woman could withstand such stimulation.

"Husband, you're just teasing Ninger!"

She pouted and put the brush aside.

Even with Ji Boying's support, continuously drawing two high-quality three-star talismans was already her limit.

Seeing that Xiao Ninger was a bit tired, Ji Boying lightly tapped her face and let her lie in his arms.

"Ninger, Qingqing, do you still remember Ling Wu, Fellow Daoist Ling?"

"Of course we remember. He was the one who sent us back before. He took good care of Yun Zhanggui and us. He's a very good person!"

Ye Qingqing said with a light laugh.

Ji Boying nodded slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Ling is indeed a good person."

"Just last month, Fellow Daoist Ling broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and invited me to attend his Nascent Soul banquet. Moreover, he specifically mentioned you two and asked me to bring you along."

The eyes of the two women lit up, and their faces were filled with anticipation.

But soon... that anticipation was replaced by a hint of melancholy.
