Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"You want spiritual stones, and you want recognition, what do you think the Phoenix Pavilion is? A charity hall?!"

"I shouldn't have bothered picking you up!"

"Let me tell you, today you either go up to the pavilion or you return all the spiritual stones I used to redeem you! Otherwise, don't blame me for sending you back!"

Ji Boying walked down the stairs and saw the beautiful woman, Yun Mama, who had previously recruited him, scolding a woman who was kneeling on the ground crying.

From the content, it seems that the girl is unwilling to go up to the pavilion, which has caused Yun Mama's dissatisfaction.

Ji Boying is not one to meddle in other people's affairs, especially since this is an internal matter of the Phoenix Pavilion. Even if he wanted to interfere, he wouldn't have the qualifications.

With this in mind, Ji Boying pretended not to see and walked straight towards the door.

"Mother, please spare me. I only sell my skills, not my body..."

Just as Ji Boying was about to step out of the threshold of the Phoenix Pavilion, a voice from behind made him pause, freezing him in mid-air.

Sell skills, not the body?

What kind of skills?

Ji Boying couldn't help but turn around and look at the woman again.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to approach and ask.

If her skills were something he could use... maybe he could negotiate.

"What man in this world pursues skills? Aren't they all lusting after your body?"

"Without this appearance, who cares about your skills?"

"I'll give you three breaths. If you continue to cause trouble, I'll call someone!"

While the beautiful woman scolded the woman, even though the woman was crying, there was no change in her expression.

Those in their line of work may not have hearts of stone, but they definitely aren't easily swayed; otherwise, if one girl cries today and another girl causes trouble tomorrow, how can they continue their business?

"Yun Mama."

Just as the beautiful woman was about to call someone, Ji Boying walked up to her.

"Master Ji?"

The beautiful woman didn't expect Ji Boying to appear at this moment. A smile instantly appeared on her previously cold face.

"Is Master Ji enjoying himself? Are you satisfied with the girls in my Phoenix Pavilion?"

"Satisfied, satisfied..."

Ji Boying nodded awkwardly, then shifted his gaze to the woman and changed the subject.

"This is..."

"Just a disobedient girl. It's her first time, she's stubborn. She'll be fine after some time."

Yun Mama said dismissively.

"I see..."

Ji Boying nodded, then asked again.

"Earlier, I heard the girl say she only sells her skills, not her body... I wonder, what skills does this girl have?"

"What skills? Just playing the flute."

Yun Mama, still angry, blurted out without thinking.

Playing the flute?

Ji Boying instantly froze in place, and an indescribable image appeared in his mind.

As soon as that image appeared, Ji Boying shuddered.

This is not something to learn.

"Master Ji?"

While Ji Boying was lost in thought, Yun Mama smiled and teased.

"Is Master Ji interested in this girl?"

"Although she's only at the second level of Qi Refining, she has both water and fire spiritual roots, and they are both of the lower grade. With proper cultivation, she will definitely be able to reach Foundation Building."

"If Master Ji is interested, take her away for two thousand medium-grade spiritual stones!"

"Two thousand medium-grade spiritual stones?"

Ji Boying couldn't help but start to be tempted.

Although having lower-grade dual spiritual roots is not considered excellent talent, as Yun Mama said, with proper cultivation, Foundation Building is not difficult.

Now that he is on the path of Body Refining, if his future partner's cultivation level is too low, and his physique becomes stronger and stronger, the frequency of communication will decrease.

This won't do...

The partner he finds should not only be able to keep up with his pace, but also be able to support daily communication.

If she can reach Foundation Building, even if he reaches Gold Core in the future, as long as he controls it properly, he can still have normal and deep communication.

As for playing the flute, if Goldfinger makes him learn it, he can simply not use this skill.

Thinking of this, Ji Boying couldn't help but look at the woman again.

At this moment, the woman still had tears on her face. Although she looked sad and her hair was a bit messy, she exuded a unique charm.

"Hmm? What is this..."

While Ji Boying was admiring the woman's appearance, he noticed that her aura was slightly chaotic, and her complexion, along with a hint of abnormal paleness.

"Yun Mama..."

Ji Boying withdrew his gaze and smiled lightly.

"There are some things... that haven't been said, right?"

The smile on the beautiful woman's face froze for a moment when she heard Ji Boying's words, but she still had a glimmer of hope and asked tentatively.

"I wonder what exactly Master Ji is referring to?"

Ji Boying looked at the beautiful woman and said,

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know!"

"Hehe... Since Fengming Pavilion lacks sincerity, I, Ji Boying, will take my leave!"

Ji Boying sneered, bowed to the beautiful woman, and then walked away without looking back, swinging his sleeves towards the door.

Seeing Ji Boying leave so readily, Yun Mama was also taken aback.

She hurriedly stepped forward and embraced his arm, apologizing with a smile, "Master Ji, please don't leave!"

"This person is getting old and his mind isn't working well. He... forgot that this girl was injured before."

"Master Ji, please don't be angry. I was just confused for a moment and didn't mean to deceive you!"

Ji Boying didn't say anything, but his gaze towards Yun Mama carried a hint of playfulness.

The latter also felt a bit embarrassed and said, "How about this, if Young Master Zhao truly likes her, 1,500! 1,500 and she's yours!"

"1,500?"

Ji Boying smiled and leisurely said, "Yun Mama still lacks sincerity."

Saying that, Ji Boying tried to break free and continue walking towards the door.

"1,300! 1,300! That's my bottom line!"

"1,000."

Ji Boying remained unfazed.

"1,200!"

"1,000!"

"1,100!"

Yun Mama was already grinding her teeth, and her voice trembled as she made the offer.

"Deal!"

Ji Boying wasn't ignorant of what was good for him. If he pressed further, he might not be able to come back in the future.

"You're quite shrewd, Master Ji!"

Yun Mama shook off Ji Boying's hand, rolled her eyes coquettishly, and then took out a scroll made of animal skin, saying, "If there's nothing else, please sign the contract, Master."

"No rush."

Ji Boying smiled faintly and didn't reach for the animal skin scroll.

"What does Master Ji mean?"

The beautiful woman couldn't help but furrow her brows.

"I, Ji Boying, don't like to force others. If your daughter doesn't want to come with me, I won't sign."

"Master Ji is truly kind-hearted."

The beautiful woman chuckled, then looked at the girl on the ground indifferently and said, "Being noticed by such a great person like Master Ji is your good fortune and destiny."

"Mother will give you three choices: either go to the pavilion, go back, or follow Master Ji!"

"At this moment, it's best for you not to stay silent. Otherwise, mother has plenty of ways to make you regret it!"

Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes trembled fiercely.

She glanced at Ji Boying.

With a dignified appearance and clear eyes, his gaze towards her was surprisingly not as greedy as the other customers.

After struggling in her heart for a moment, she finally made a decision.

She looked at her mother and whispered, "Mother... I... I choose Master Ji."

"Good choice!"

Yun Mama snorted coldly, then handed the animal skin scroll to Ji Boying, smiling, "Can Master Ji sign the contract now?"

"Naturally."

Ji Boying nodded and took the scroll, writing his name on it.

Seeing Ji Boying had signed the contract, the beautiful woman's face immediately blossomed with a smile.

She had only spent a hundred medium-grade spirit stones to pick up a servant girl from the slave market, and now, with just one sale, she had made a net profit of one thousand two hundred!

What a huge profit!

She endured the joy in her heart and took out a token from her bosom, saying sweetly, "Master Ji can now take this token to the front desk of the pavilion and retrieve the girl's soul essence."

"If the girl doesn't behave in the future, Master Ji can discipline her as he sees fit."

Ji Boying looked at the token, apparently not expecting that Fengming Pavilion had such methods.

Before, he was wondering what he would do if the girl ran away. Now it seemed that Fengming Pavilion had thought of everything more thoroughly than he did!

If that's the case...

Could he choose a partner at the Foundation Building or even Gold Core stage?

As long as he had the girl's soul essence, wouldn't it be the same as the master-servant relationship between him and Nangong Wanzhi?

Ji Boying shook his head.

He was daydreaming, really daydreaming.

He couldn't even afford a Qi Refining stage cultivator, let alone someone at the Foundation Building stage.

As his thoughts wandered, Ji Boying led the girl towards the main hall.

Playing the flute?

Although he didn't want to learn, it wouldn't hurt to enjoy it!
