Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Ji Boying looked at the young man with some caution.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be alone, and his cultivation was only in the late Qi Refining stage, Ji Boying felt relieved.

"Fellow Daoist, just follow this road straight ahead. After reaching a small town called Dilong Town, leave through the north gate and walk another hundred miles to reach Fulong New City."

The young man in the carriage nodded and slightly clasped his fists towards Ji Boying, saying, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for showing me the way."

"I wonder where Fellow Daoist is heading? It's so cold and snowy, and the heavy snow is blocking the road. If Fellow Daoist doesn't mind, I can give you a ride."

Ji Boying looked at the dark yellow sky and then at the carriage. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded. "Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist."

Saying that, he stepped onto the carriage, used a purification talisman to remove the dirt and snowflakes from his body, and then entered the carriage.

Seeing Ji Boying being so polite, the young man's gaze showed a hint of appreciation.

"I am Ji Boying, like Fellow Daoist, I am also going to Fulong City."

"So it's Brother Ji! My surname is Li, with a single character for my given name."

The young man smiled and said, "Is Brother Ji going to Fulong City for the Soul Formation site?"

"The Soul Formation site?"

Ji Boying was slightly stunned at the words, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Seeing Ji Boying's appearance, Li Pu's face also showed a hint of confusion.

"Fellow Daoist doesn't know about the Soul Formation site?"

Ji Boying nodded somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Indeed, I don't know."

His trip to Fulong City was just a move, as for the Soul Formation site, he had never heard of it.

Could it be related to the Crimson Flame Sect?

"It doesn't matter."

Although the young man was somewhat surprised by Ji Boying's reaction, he explained enthusiastically, "Perhaps the news of the Soul Formation site hasn't spread yet, so it's normal that Brother Ji doesn't know. After a while, when the Crimson Flame Sect spreads the news completely, more people will know."

"But... Brother Ji must have a deep understanding of the Crimson Flame Sect's layout in the Fulong Ridge, right?"

Ji Boying nodded.

Seeing this, Li Pu continued, "The reason why the Crimson Flame Sect suddenly made a big move in the Fulong Ridge and even spent a huge amount of money to expand Fulong City is because they discovered a site left behind by a peak Soul Formation expert in the Fulong Ridge!"

"A peak Soul Formation expert... tsk tsk, even the most powerful elders of the Crimson Flame Sect are only Nascent Soul True Immortals. I didn't expect that this time there would be a site left behind by a Soul Formation expert. How many cultivators will flock to it?"

As he said this, a look of longing appeared on Li Pu's face.

Hearing Li Pu's words, Ji Boying couldn't help but furrow his brows. It seemed a bit different from what he had imagined.

"Brother Li, I have a question."

"Hmm? What is it?"

Ji Boying pondered for a moment and then asked, "According to reason, if the Crimson Flame Sect discovered a Soul Formation cultivator's site, shouldn't they keep the news to themselves and monopolize it? Why would they spread the news and attract so many cultivators from other sects?"

"By doing so, aren't they giving away the opportunities in the site?"

Upon hearing Ji Boying's doubts, a strange expression appeared on Li Pu's face.

Seeing this, Ji Boying was taken aback and then asked, "Did I say something... wrong?"

"It's not just wrong."

Li Pu shook his head and said, "Brother Ji, are you not interested in business or spiritual stones?"

"Never mind whether the Soul Formation site is easy to break through or not. Even if the Crimson Flame Sect can break through it alone, can they guarantee that they will obtain the opportunities they want from it? Or can the opportunities they obtain meet their expected goals?"

"Can they?"

"Furthermore, even if they really achieve their expected goals and obtain this opportunity, can the Crimson Flame Sect, with this opportunity, become the overlord of the Lingwu Continent?"

"Can they?"

"Since that's the case, why not spread the news and divide the opportunities into countless parts, so that more people have a chance to seize the opportunities they desire?"

Seeing that Ji Boying still didn't quite understand, Li Pu sighed lightly and continued, "By spreading the news, the Crimson Flame Sect not only gains a reputation for being selfless, but also gathers many cultivators within the Spirit Martial Continent."

"And what does it mean when cultivators gather? It means spirit stones!"

"Do cultivators need to consume? Do they need spirit stones for consumption? If they need to consume and they need spirit stones, will the families, sects, and major trading companies with industries just sit idly by?"

"Definitely not! Who wouldn't make money if they have it?"

"Families, sects, and major trading companies need to settle in, they need to exchange spirit stones. Who will provide the venue? Isn't it the host, the Crimson Flame Sect?"

"The Crimson Flame Sect is expanding Fulong City in order to acquire more land and attract more families, sects, and major trading companies to settle in. They will collect rent and dividends from them."

"In addition, a large number of cultivators settling in also require land for residence. The Crimson Flame Sect can sell land and rent out houses, which is another source of income."

"The Soul Formation Secret Realm is not so easily broken through. Even if it's fast, it still takes three to five years. In terms of spirit stones alone, these three to five years can be worth several Soul Formation Secret Realms."

Ji Boying fell silent, completely silent.

At this moment, he finally understood why he could only be a miserable worker in his past life.

He deserved to be poor.

Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Sun the shopkeeper asking him to buy land this time, he would probably still be holding onto that pile of spirit stones and laughing foolishly.

Working hard for half a year, he only earned five to six thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

While Sun the shopkeeper only gave him a little guidance, and he had a small gold mine that continuously produced spirit stones.

Sigh...

He really wasted his status as a transmigrator.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, so heavy that Ji Boying opened the curtain and couldn't see anything ten meters away.

But the carriage seemed unaffected and continued to move at a steady speed.

Ji Boying was also secretly surprised. This carriage was probably not as simple as it seemed.

The man in front of him, Li Pu, was the same.

"Stop the carriage."

Just then, Li Pu suddenly spoke, and after a moment of rolling, the carriage slowly came to a stop.

Li Pu opened the curtain and smiled at the outside, "Is the fairy also going to Fulong City? With such heavy snow and freezing weather, why not come in and warm up on the carriage? Even if you're not going to Fulong City, I can give you a ride."

Ji Boying heard this and also looked out the window.

In the midst of the snowy landscape stood a woman in green.

Ji Boying had seen many beautiful women, including the living ice beauty like Nangong Wan and the elegant lady like Sun Qingruo.

But it was the first time he saw someone as beautiful as the woman in front of him, with a touch of charm.

Just a glance and he was reluctant to look away.

Fortunately, Ji Boying had seen a lot of the world and great scenery, so he only stared for a moment before retracting his gaze.

Outside the carriage, the woman hesitated for a moment when she saw that the snow showed no signs of stopping, then nodded in agreement, just like Ji Boying.

"Thank you, sir!" The woman spoke softly, her voice ethereal and pleasant.

If this voice were to be used as a broadcaster back in his hometown, even without showing her face, it would drive countless men crazy.

"Miss Qiu is too polite. Since we are fellow cultivators, we should take care of each other," Li Pu said with a smile. "Is Miss Qiu also going to Fulong City?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Li Pu's face showed a hint of joy.

"That's great. My brother Ji and I are also heading to Fulong City. May I ask what Miss Qiu's purpose is in going to Fulong City?"

"Naturally, it's for the Soul Formation Ruins."

"Hahaha, then we are truly fellow cultivators!"

Saying that, Li Pu looked at Ji Boying beside him and continued, "After talking so much, I still don't know what Brother Ji's purpose is in going to Fulong Ridge?"

"I'm just moving," Ji Boying said without hiding anything. After hesitating for a moment, he continued...
