Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"Upcoming Three Major Rankings!"

At this point, Su Ling's expression became more serious.

Ji Boying could also sense the sincerity in the other party's words, so he humbly asked for advice, "Previously, Su Protector mentioned the matter of the Three Major Rankings to me."

"It is true that the headquarters has already changed the resource allocation system. Starting from the day the rankings are announced, all resources will no longer be allocated by the six main halls, but will be directly allocated by the headquarters according to the rankings."

"Furthermore... Su Protector also mentioned that although the ranking distribution system is fairer, it is not very friendly to new core members like me."

"Su Protector is right."

Su Ling nodded slightly and added, "The ranking distribution system is indeed not very friendly to new core members who have not grown up. It may even affect their growth due to the concentration of resources, leading to an increasing polarization in the rankings."

"The strong will thrive, while the weak will perish. That's the principle."

"However..."

She paused and changed the topic.

"This so-called unfriendliness is only aimed at ordinary core members, and does not include members of the Ten Thousand Dao Pavilion, or... true geniuses!"

"The so-called disadvantages are only temporary, or... they don't exist at all."

"Take Fellow Daoist Ji as an example. Putting aside Body Refining cultivation, Fellow Daoist Ji is currently only at the level of a low-grade Four-Star Symbol Dao Grandmaster, and his cultivation is only at the mid-stage of Foundation Building."

"Even if the Chamber of Commerce and the main halls are willing to spend huge resources to cultivate Fellow Symbol Master Ji, how many resources that are truly useful to him are there?"

"Even if the main halls are willing to offer extremely precious Infant Condensing spiritual objects, or even Soul Formation spiritual objects, can Fellow Symbol Master Ji make use of these things with his current cultivation?"

"In terms of effectiveness, I'm afraid they are not as good as Foundation Building spiritual liquid, right?"

Su Ling paused and continued, "Although the Chamber of Commerce has changed the resource allocation system, it is still based on the current strength and realm of each core member on the ranking list."

"The priority of the rankings is inevitably strength before talent, and talent before contribution."

"The rankings only change the proportion of resource allocation, it does not mean that resources will not be given to those at the bottom. They will still receive what they deserve. If it's not enough, they can also earn contribution points through tasks."

"But these... will not pose any troubles for true geniuses."

"The dragon does not get trapped in shallow waters, and the phoenix does not fear having its wings broken in a storm."

"As long as there is enough talent and perseverance, the headquarters will not let any elite slip away."

"So... Fellow Daoist Ji."

Su Ling looked at Ji Boying and said in a firm voice, "Passing the assessment of the Ten Thousand Dao Pavilion is just the beginning for you. After becoming a core member of the Ten Thousand Dao Pavilion, you need to make every effort to continuously impact the various rankings, including the contribution ranking!"

"Only by doing so can you continuously gain more resources and attention, and go further on your own path of cultivation!"

After a moment of silence, Ji Boying took a deep breath and bowed to Su Ling.

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Su!"

"I will keep it in mind!"

After a brief exchange, Su Ling returned to the cabin to consolidate her own Symbol Dao.

As for Ji Boying...

Apart from using a part of his mind to control the flying boat, the rest of his time was spent studying Symbol Dao during his free time.

It must be said...

Su Ling's words had a bit of an invigorating effect.

Although in his previous life, Ji Boying had also been motivated by various factors.

During his student days, he was motivated by teachers and family members.

When he started working, he was motivated by leaders and superiors.

Even...

When he returned home at night, wanting to rest and watch some short videos for entertainment, he could still come across a lot of motivation.

But...

Those motivations were never taken seriously by Ji Boying. Even if he was enthusiastic at the time, it was only a temporary burst of energy. After that, things would go back to how they were.

In the end, it was still a case of hard work not receiving the expected rewards, or... not being able to realize them in a timely manner.

This was true for studying and working.

If there really was a situation in the world where one could see a return for every effort made, who wouldn't want to strive for a better future?

-

Hmm~

A few more days passed.

As the flying boat once again flew over the vast mountain range under the setting sun.

Ji Boying finally returned to the Canglong Immortal City!

Su Ling walked out of the cabin and looked at the magnificent city in the distance, softly saying,

"Before Fellow Daoist Ji completes the assessment of the Wan Dao Pavilion, I will not set any more assessments. So, during this period, Fellow Daoist Ji can study on your own."

"Also... although the assessment only requires a passing grade to become a member of the Wan Dao Pavilion, it would be best if Fellow Daoist Ji can give it your all and achieve the highest score."

"Because... the announcement of the Three Rankings will be coming soon, and the assessment results of the Wan Dao Pavilion will also be used as the basis for ranking."

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Su!"

Ji Boying said respectfully.

---

It wasn't until they reached the branch headquarters that Ji Boying separated from Su Ling.

Walking on the familiar streets of the headquarters, looking at the lingering red glow in the sky, Ji Boying's countless thoughts from the flying boat had already been buried in the deepest corner of his mind.

At this moment...

His mind was filled with thoughts of his two wives.

Although half a year had passed in the blink of an eye during his mission, that longing had been accumulating since the first day of their separation.

Until now...

It had already gathered like a river, constantly surging at the edge of the dam.

For a long time...

Under Ji Boying's hurried steps, the familiar alley in front of the courtyard finally appeared before his eyes.

Just one turn, and he would be able to see the courtyard gate.

He stopped in his tracks.

After tidying up his clothes a bit and making sure there were no issues, he took a deep breath and continued forward.

Moving forward.

Turning.

Until the courtyard completely came into view.

Ji Boying was stunned to find that the doors that he used to have his two wives keep closed were now open!

Not only that...

Even his two wives were waiting at the door!

Ji Boying stood still.

It wasn't until his two wives ran towards him, one after the other, and threw themselves into his arms, tightly embracing his waist and pressing their faces against his chest, that he snapped out of his daze.

Only then did Ji Boying, with a deep breath, fully take in the completely different yet equally wonderful fragrance of his two wives.

"Husband..."

"Young Master..."

Xiao Ning'er and Ye Qingqing raised their heads slightly, their watery eyes gazing affectionately at Ji Boying.

He smiled knowingly, rubbed their heads, lightly kissed their foreheads, and then asked,

"Do you... know that I came back today?"

"Of course we didn't know. Since the day you left, Ning'er and I..."

"Qing'er!"

Just as Ye Qingqing was about to say something, Xiao Ning'er quickly stopped her.

However...

She was still a beat too late.

Ji Boying already knew everything he needed to know. Even if Ye Qingqing didn't finish her sentence, he already knew.

He looked at his two wives, not saying a word, but the hand that was holding onto their waists tightened slightly.

Until...

The last rays of the setting sun completely disappeared from the horizon.

He took a deep breath, his voice somewhat hoarse, and said,

"Let's go home!"
