Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

After completing the procedures, Ji Boying took the girl back to his residence.

Passing by a restaurant, Ji Boying also packed a dish.

It is worth mentioning that the prosperity of Fulong City, to a certain extent, even surpasses the third-tier cities in his hometown.

Not to mention anything else, just this market, it is open 24 hours a day!

Almost all the shops are like this!

Before, when he was at Fengming Pavilion, he was worried about not finding a place to eat. But as soon as he came out, he saw a restaurant that was still open.

In the lobby of the restaurant, there were even many diners.

When they returned to the courtyard, it was still early and the night was still hazy.

Ji Boying lit the oil lamp in the room, neatly placed the food on the table, and took out two chairs, saying, "Sit down and have some food first."

The girl looked at Ji Boying timidly, then lowered her head and didn't move anymore.

Ji Boying smiled lightly and said, "Don't be restrained, just treat it as your own home."

"By the way, I don't even know your name. After all, from now on, you are my wife, Ji Boying. It would be awkward if we don't even know each other's names, right?"

The girl was about to answer what her name was, but suddenly realized something.

She looked up at Ji Boying.

"What...what did you just say, sir?"

Ji Boying was a little confused by the question. Could this girl have a hearing problem?

After a moment of pause, he continued, "I said, I still don't know your name. After all, we are husband and wife now. If we don't even know each other's names, what kind of husband and wife would that be?"

"Husband and wife? Sir wants to marry me?"

"What? Don't want to?"

Ji Boying frowned slightly when he heard the girl's words.

If the other party didn't want to, it would be difficult.

Although he held the other party's soul origin in his hands, if he used it to threaten the other party, wouldn't he become a beast?

Ji Boying sighed lightly. The one he bought ultimately had no feelings. He didn't know if the other party could accept him after a long time.

"No! No!"

Just as Ji Boying was thinking about how to cultivate feelings in the future, he heard the girl say in a surprised tone, "I thought sir just bought me as...as..."

She didn't say the last two words, and couldn't say them.

That was her nightmare.

If it weren't for Mama Yun rescuing her back then, she couldn't imagine how she would have been tortured by those human traffickers.

She thought that after Mama Yun saved her, she would be able to change her tragic fate, but she didn't expect that she had just changed her environment.

She still couldn't escape the fate of being tortured by others.

Just like tonight, she was just a geisha in the attic, but unfortunately, she was targeted by a wealthy man. If the other party only wanted her body, it would be fine, but she didn't expect...the other party had so many perverted preferences!

Thinking of those scenes, even now, she felt a chill.

"I don't know what you have experienced in the past, and I don't know how much suffering you have endured, but...from now on, as long as I, Ji Boying, am here, no one can bully you!"

Just as the girl was in a daze, a gentle voice slowly sounded.

She looked up and saw that Ji Boying had already come to her side without knowing when.

On his face, there was still a reassuring smile, and his eyes still carried that comforting clarity.

As long as I, Ji Boying, am here, no one can bully you...

The girl silently repeated this sentence in her heart.

The accumulated grievances in her heart unknowingly turned into tears that couldn't be restrained and fell uncontrollably.

"Sir..."

Ji Boying looked at the teary-eyed girl in front of him, feeling indescribable emotions surging in his heart.

He gently embraced the girl's head into his arms, and gently patted her back with one hand, allowing her to vent her grievances...

---

When it was bright, Ji Boying left a note at the head of the bed and left the room.

As for the girl...

After last night's outburst, she was still sleeping.

Ji Boying stretched lazily, looked at the snowy scenery outside the mountain, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

One step closer to the Dao of Immortality!

After leaving the courtyard, Ji Boying went directly to Jichun Hall in the south of the city.

Although the scale of Jichun Hall in the south of the city is not as large as that in the east of the city, it is not comparable to the small town.

The entire medicine hall has now been converted into a five-story attic, and the sales area inside has been divided into two parts: elixirs and medicinal materials!

Moreover, whether it's elixirs or medicinal materials, they cover all types below Gold Core, and even include several types of elixirs at the Gold Core stage.

"Brother Ji, you're here early!"

Inside the hall, as soon as Ji Boying entered, he saw Sun Youfu, patting his "pregnant" belly, walking towards him with a smile.

"Just thinking of making more contributions to our Jichun Hall!"

Ji Boying also smiled in response.

"Hahaha! With Brother Ji, the fortune of Jichun Hall is assured!"

"Sun shopkeeper seems to be in a good mood. I saw him laughing heartily even before I entered the door. I wonder if there's any good news. Why not share it and let us be happy too?"

An untimely voice suddenly sounded.

Sun Youfu, who was laughing happily, suddenly stiffened his face.

Looking back, he saw a charming and enchanting woman walking lightly towards the hall. Behind her were a young man in elegant attire holding a folding fan, and an old man with a hunched figure and white hair.

Ji Boying glanced at these people and saw that they were all unfamiliar faces. Their aura was restrained, and their spiritual pressure fluctuated. They were clearly Foundation Building cultivators!

Especially the young man, if he guessed correctly, he was at least in the late Foundation Building stage!

"Greetings, Second Young Master!"

Sun Youfu slightly bowed to the young man in elegant attire.

"Please rise."

The young man waved his folding fan casually, lifting Sun Youfu up slightly, then turned his gaze to Ji Boying.

"I presume... this is our newly promoted two-star alchemist of Jichun Hall, Ji Boying, Alchemist Ji?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Sun Qingchen, in charge of Jichun Hall in the eastern part of the city."

"So it's Young Master Sun. My apologies for the lack of courtesy."

Ji Boying slightly arched his hand.

"Alchemist Ji is too modest."

Sun Qingchen smiled lightly and continued, "Alchemist Ji, are you accustomed to Jichun Hall?"

"Thank you for your concern, Young Master. I'm doing well."

Sun Qingchen nodded, then asked, "I wonder what offerings Alchemist Ji has received from my sister Qingruo?"

Ji Boying hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then said, "There is an unlimited supply of medicinal materials, with no need to bear any trial and error costs. As for profits, I split them 60-40 with Jichun Hall."

"60-40 split?"

Sun Qingchen raised an eyebrow, then asked, "I wonder how many furnaces of pills Alchemist Ji can refine in a day, and what is the rate of high-quality pills?"

"Under two-star low-grade pills, I can refine up to six furnaces in a day. As for the rate of high-quality pills... it's less than 50%."

Ji Boying was still holding back a bit with his words. After all, now that he no longer had to spend time traveling and teaming up, he could easily refine seven furnaces in a day with good condition. As for the rate of high-quality pills... with the control of fire technique and the soul of a Foundation Building cultivator, as long as he wasn't too impatient, each furnace would have at least five high-quality pills!

And if he was lucky, he could even produce some top-quality pills.

"Alchemist Ji, as a newly promoted two-star alchemist, to have such a high rate of high-quality pills, your talent is truly admirable!"

"You flatter me, Young Master."

"Alchemist Ji, there's no need to be modest."

Sun Qingchen waved his hand, then said, "How about this, Alchemist Ji, join our Jichun Hall in the eastern part of the city. You don't need to be a resident alchemist, just complete the specified number of pills each month. The profit will be split 70-30, with Jichun Hall taking three parts and Alchemist Ji taking seven! As for medicinal materials, they will also be provided unlimitedly, with no need for Alchemist Ji to bear any costs for mistakes."

"In addition... Jichun Hall will also give Alchemist Ji a treasure-level pill furnace, a three-star alchemist's experience, and one top-quality marrow-cleansing pill each month!"

"Of course, if Alchemist Ji has any demands for control of fire technique or pill refining technique, feel free to mention it. As long as Jichun Hall can find it, we will definitely not refuse Alchemist Ji!"

Sun Youfu saw Sun Qingchen openly poaching and offering such a high price, and the muscles on his face trembled.

Not only him, even Ji Boying felt that Sun Qingchen's offer was indeed generous!

After all...

The treatment that Sun Qingruo offered him as a resident alchemist was far from being this good!

He had to admit that this time, Ji Boying was truly tempted.

A treasure-level pill furnace, a three-star alchemist's experience, and unconditional provision of control of fire technique and pill refining technique.

With these, Ji Boying was confident that his rate of high-quality pills could reach 80%! He even had a chance to stabilize the rate of top-quality pills at over 30%!

Even...

The 70-30 profit split would allow him to purchase three-star detoxification pills even faster!

"What do you think, Alchemist Qingchen's offer, is Alchemist Ji satisfied?"

"Of course, if Alchemist Ji has any other conditions, feel free to mention them!"

Sun Qingchen had a confident smile on his lips. He didn't believe that Ji Boying would refuse such conditions!
