Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"Help me loosen my clothes."

Loosen my clothes?!

Should I let him help me loosen my clothes?!

Ji Boying stood still, unable to believe his ears.

"Haven't you heard?"

Seeing Ji Boying standing still without moving, Nangong Wan couldn't help but speak again.

Upon hearing this, Ji Boying quickly approached.

Looking at the graceful figure in front of him, Ji Boying cleared his throat and his heartbeat and breathing began to quicken.

Although he admired Nangong Wan's beauty every day, this was the first time he admired it in this way!

It is said that different scenery, different perspectives, and different ways of appreciation bring completely different feelings.

And now, it seemed to be true!

Unfortunately, ancient times were different from modern times. Ji Boying originally wanted to try using one hand, but the ancient costume did not give him that opportunity.

After taking off her clothes, Nangong Wan directly immersed herself in the water.

She slightly turned her head and took out a ruby red bottle, facing Ji Boying behind her, she said:

"Help me apply it on my back."

Ji Boying took the bottle, looked at Nangong Wan somewhat bewilderedly.

The witch tonight seemed a bit different...

He muttered to himself in his heart, and then obediently helped apply the medicine.

This was the first time he touched Nangong Wan's skin with his hands.

It was moist and smooth, with a hint of warmth, as if touching a piece of top-grade jade. The feeling was indescribable.

"After tonight, I will leave."

Just as Ji Boying was wiping the medicine, Nangong Wan spoke again.

Ji Boying's hand paused, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked:

"How long will you be gone this time?"

"I don't know, at least four or five years, maybe more..."

Nangong Wan paused and didn't continue.

In this way, both of them fell into silence until Ji Boying finished applying the medicine to every inch of Nangong Wan's back.

"We won't use magical tools today."

Nangong Wan whispered to Ji Boying, giving him some time to react, and then pulled him into the water.

The waves swayed, and the water surged.

A battle between a sword cultivator and a dragon began again on the surging sea...

---

The next day, before dawn.

After leaving a few things on the table, Nangong Wan changed into a white dress and left the courtyard directly.

Ji Boying curled up in a wooden barrel, watching Nangong Wan's figure disappear into the night, feeling a sense of loss for some reason.

Although he and Nangong Wan only had a master-servant relationship.

But...

After months of close contact, how could Ji Boying not have any feelings?

The phrase "time breeds affection" was the best explanation.

He didn't know how long had passed, Ji Boying slapped his own cheek, suppressing the sadness and sorrow in his heart, and then forced a smile, saying:

"I should be happy that she's gone. Why am I feeling so melancholic?"

Saying that, Ji Boying got up and changed into clean clothes, then opened the virtual panel.

[Name: Ji Boying]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Fourth Layer]

[Root Bone (Fire): 3000 (Inferior)]

[Spiritual Soul: 3000]

[Physique: 6000 (Meridian Circulation, Poisoned)]

[Sword Dao: 12,000 (Mid-stage Gang Realm)]

[Pill Dao: 4504 (Two-star Inferior)]

[Available Attribute Points: 118]

In this month, Ji Boying raised his root bone to 3000 points, not only upgrading his fire spiritual root from inferior to inferior, but also breaking through to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer.

He did this not because he still had hope for his cultivation in Qi Refining, nor did he want to cultivate both body and law.

But...

For alchemy!

After becoming a two-star alchemist, the maximum number of pills Ji Boying could refine each day was three. Any more than that, the spiritual power in his body couldn't support such a huge consumption.

Even with a physique of 6000 points, it was not enough.

So...

Helplessly, Ji Boying had to first break through his fire spiritual root to 3000 points and promote it to inferior.

Sure enough, Ji Boying's alchemy efficiency doubled every day!

Originally, the limit was three furnaces, but now he can refine six furnaces, and if he's in a good state, he can even open the seventh furnace!

Closing the virtual panel, Ji Boying walked to the window.

On the seat were the things left to him by Nangong Wan.

There was a cultivation method, two martial arts techniques, and five bottles of elixirs.

The elixirs were used to temper the body and enhance qi and blood, but even if Ji Boying consumed them, they wouldn't be of much use, at most they could be used as kidney tonics.

As for the cultivation method... it was the same.

One's cultivation level had nothing to do with the quality of the cultivation method, only with the depth of experience and the number of exchanges.

However...

Those two martial arts techniques could be learned.

The two martial arts techniques were called "Surging Fist" and "Triple Force".

The names were simple, and so was the content.

After practicing Surging Fist, each punch would be like a wave, one wave after another. With each punch, the force would accumulate, and the more times it accumulated, the stronger the force would be.

When it reached perfection, it could accumulate nine layers of force.

As for Triple Force, it was even simpler. After practicing it, one could hide a hidden force in their attacks. When it reached perfection, it could accumulate three layers of hidden force.

Ji Boying wondered, what would happen if Surging Fist and Triple Force were used at the same time? Would there be unexpected effects?

After briefly looking at the two martial arts techniques, the sky had already begun to turn pale.

Seeing that it was almost time, Ji Boying followed the troops into the city.

Although Ji Boying's current strength was not afraid of mid-Foundation Building stage cultivators, it had become a habit to enter the city as a group after the incident with the robbery cultivators.

Even though there hadn't been any robbery cultivators for the past few months.

"Congratulations, Brother Ji," said Sun Zhanggui, patting his belly and smiling. "In five days, the new inner city of Fulong City and part of the outer ring area will be completely open. Brother Ji can start preparing to move!"

Ji Boying raised an eyebrow at the words. Finally, the mountain he bought was open?

But...

He looked at Sun Youfu and asked, "What about Jichuntang? When are you moving there? I'm not in such a hurry."

"Hahaha, when the new inner city opens, Jichuntang will naturally move there. Brother Ji doesn't have to wait for us," Sun Youfu laughed.

"After Brother Ji moves there, you can come to the new area of the southern city to find us the next day!"

"That's great," Ji Boying nodded and smiled. "So... we can celebrate together?"

"Hahaha, congratulations!" Sun Youfu laughed heartily. It seemed like he had thought of something and patted Ji Boying's shoulder. "Brother Ji, have you really not considered being the resident alchemist of Jichuntang?"

"Of course, if Brother Ji has any concerns, you can tell me. Although I am a member of the Sun family, with the matter of the mountain, I won't deceive you no matter what I say. You can rest assured!" Sun Youfu said.

Ji Boying glanced at Sun Youfu.

Was he trying to persuade him?

"There's no need to persuade me anymore, it's not that I have any concerns, but... being the resident alchemist is too restrictive. I'm used to being free and don't like constraints, that's all," Ji Boying said.

"Of course, I also know that Miss wants me to be the resident alchemist because she values my abilities and wants me to stay in the southern city."

"I can assure you, unless there are special circumstances, I will never leave Jichuntang. Brother Sun and Miss Sun have been kind to me, and I, Ji Boying, am not an ungrateful person."

"Well..." Sun Youfu sighed and said, "Since Brother Ji has made up his mind, I won't say anything more."

"But... as you know, the situation in Jichuntang is clear to Brother Ji. I haven't asked you for anything on ordinary days, but this time... I just hope that Brother Ji can help Miss share some of the pressure as much as possible, within your capabilities."

After speaking, Sun Youfu gave Ji Boying a heavy punch.

Five days later...

After packing his luggage, Ji Boying went out directly and bid farewell to the small courtyard where he had lived for more than ten years.

Perhaps it was too early to leave, or perhaps there weren't many people going to Fulong City from the village and the small town in the first place.

On the entire official road, there was only Ji Boying himself. And coincidentally, just as Ji Boying left the small town, it started to snow heavily.

In the cold winter, the weather was already cold, and a heavy snowfall not only hindered visibility but also made it difficult to travel.

Ji Boying sighed lightly. It seemed that today was not a good day to go out.

Just as Ji Boying was thinking about finding a place to take shelter from the snow, he heard a faint sound of horse hooves behind him.

He saw a spirited horse pulling a slightly luxurious carriage, slowly approaching him.

When the carriage passed by Ji Boying, the curtain lifted slightly, revealing a young face.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know how to get to Fulong City?"
