Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

From Sun Youfu's mouth, I learned that...

Initially, when the Sun family learned that the demonic cultivators had settled in Fulong City, they made plans to abandon their industries within the city.

Although Sun Qingruo wanted to retain them, she was powerless and ultimately controlled by her own family. Even the trusted individuals she had arranged within Fulong City were all dismissed.

Later on, the head of the Sun family passed away, and without the support of Fulong City's industries, Sun Qingruo's branch was defeated by Sun Qingchen's branch, resulting in a change of leadership within the family.

And it was from this point onwards...

Something unexpected happened.

After obtaining leadership of the family, Sun Qingchen secretly allied with the demonic cultivators and hid several Nascent Soul experts of the demonic clan within the Sun family.

Because of this, Sun Qingchen was able to secure the industries of Jichun Hall and Lingdan Pavilion within Fulong City.

In the following years, the demonic cultivators completely took over Fulong City and began setting up blood sacrifice arrays using the blood and qi of cultivators.

Upon learning of this news, the major sects, aristocratic families, and the main city all chose to defend their positions in fear and panic.

Cangwu City was one of them.

However... Cangwu's main city had already been infiltrated by the demonic cultivators.

Although several cultivation families joined forces to defend the city, they were no match for the Nascent Soul experts.

In just one night, the once impregnable Cangwu City fell into the hands of the demonic cultivators.

After capturing Cangwu City, the demonic cultivators began setting up blood sacrifice arrays.

In order to pledge allegiance, Sun Qingchen betrayed over three thousand members of the Sun family, including several Gold Core elders who were suppressed on the spot by the demonic cultivators he brought with him.

As for the younger generation, including Sun Qingruo, after the elders of the main family saw through Sun Qingchen, they sacrificed their own lives to escort them out of the city.

Afterwards, they wandered for a year or two before finally settling in Canglong Immortal City.

With the resources brought by the Sun family, they barely managed to acquire a small restaurant called Juxiang Hall in the Zhuliu District.

Listening to the twists and turns, Ji Boying couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed, life is full of changes, and nothing in this world is constant...

"Canglong Immortal City possesses seventh-grade superior spiritual veins. Being able to settle here and acquire an industry sufficient for daily cultivation is even better than before in Fulong City," Ji Boying said softly.

"Yes," Sun Youfu nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

"Just recently, Miss has achieved Foundation Building after coming here for a short time. With some spiritual stones accumulated from the restaurant, she will be able to prepare for Core Formation!"

"With Miss's talent and the environment of Canglong Immortal City, there is great hope for Core Formation!" Ji Boying couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

When they were still in Jichun Hall, Sun Qingruo was only at the early stage of Foundation Building.

Unexpectedly, in just a few short years, she had already achieved Foundation Building perfection. It was not easy for her to make such progress amidst all the changes.

"Then I'll congratulate Miss in advance on her successful Core Formation!" Ji Boying sincerely said, then changed the topic.

"Sun Laoge, I noticed that a new dish called hot pot was introduced in the restaurant. Out of curiosity, I tried it."

"The taste... truly amazed me!"

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Youfu laughed heartily and said, "Not only Mr. Ji, but everyone who has tried it, including me and Miss, has been amazed by this hot pot!"

"If it weren't for accidentally obtaining the recipe for this hot pot, Miss wouldn't have given up her identity as a three-star alchemist and taken over this restaurant."

"According to Sun Laoge, this hot pot wasn't created by you and Miss?" Ji Boying pretended to be surprised and asked knowingly.

"Miss is immersed in cultivation, and I have no knowledge of food. How could we have come up with such a rare delicacy as hot pot? But it's also a coincidence," Sun Youfu paused, then looked at Ji Boying and said, "I wonder if Mr. Ji still remembers the 'One Cut' event we held at Lingdan Pavilion back then?"

"Sun Laoge means..."

"Hot pot and a single slash of a knife, both from the same person's hand!"

Ji Boying's eyes flickered.

The speculation in his heart grew stronger.

He looked at Sun Youfu and asked,

"I wonder if Brother Sun knows the origin of that person? And where is he now?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Youfu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said,

"We only happened to meet by chance. Although Miss has consulted that senior, he did not answer. He only asked us to call him Qinghua Zhenren."

"Qinghua Zhenren?"

Ji Boying murmured softly, secretly remembering this title.

And so...

The two of them chatted for a while.

Ji Boying took out two exquisite jade bottles and two sandalwood boxes from his storage ring.

"In fact, my brother came here this time to repay a favor."

"My friend was well taken care of by the shopkeeper here at Juxiang Hall before, but... I didn't expect that the shopkeeper would be Brother Sun!"

"The word 'fate' is truly wonderful and indescribable!"

"The friend Mr. Ji mentioned is..."

"Qiu Yu!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Youfu's expression changed slightly.

Ji Boying didn't explain much either. Instead, he placed the two jade bottles and the exquisite wooden box on the table and said,

"These are two bottles of Yuan Ling Dan, just a small token of appreciation. Brother Sun, please don't refuse!"

"As for this wooden box... it contains a bit of Bilin Bingxin Tea that I happened to come across. Back in Fulong City, thanks to Miss and Brother's care, I would like to offer this small token of appreciation as well. Brother, please accept it!"

"This..."

Before Sun Youfu could refuse, Ji Boying stood up directly, bid a simple farewell, and left the private room.

However...

Before leaving, he did tell Sun Youfu that he would come often in the future.

After all, this hot pot was an extremely rare delicacy!

Although he knew a bit about it himself, he couldn't compare to Juxiang Hall in terms of the soup base and taste.

In the future, when he had free time, he could bring his two wives here more often to enjoy it.

---

After leaving the Zhuliu District, Ji Boying felt slightly annoyed.

Dealing with the matter of the demonic cultivator was already troublesome enough, but he didn't expect there to be a second transmigrator in this world.

Now that the second transmigrator had appeared, would there be a third, fourth, or even...

Thinking of this, Ji Boying couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

How could there be so many transmigrators?

Moreover... that Qinghua Zhenren might not necessarily be a transmigrator.

Firstly, hot pot has existed in his hometown for ten thousand years, so it's not something new.

Especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was particularly popular. The people in this cultivation world are not stupid, so it's not difficult for them to come up with the idea of a hot pot.

As for the single slash of a knife... although it has Huang's essence, there are still differences between the two.

Fengming Pavilion has various packages like yearly, monthly, and overnight, as well as various performances. It shouldn't be difficult for the people here to come up with the idea of a single slash of a knife, right?

Yes!

Don't think too much.

How could there be so many transmigrators in this world?

It might just be a coincidence, right?

Ji Boying comforted himself in his heart, then took out his identity token and sent a message to Li Yueyao.

After eating hot pot, he felt a bit heated, so he needed to vent it first. Otherwise, Ning'er and Qing'er might not be able to bear it...
