Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"Second Young Master, Ji Dan Shi is Miss's person. It's not appropriate for you to do this!"

Sun Youfu tightened his fist hidden in his sleeve, his tone slightly cold.

"What do you mean, Sun Shopkeeper? What do you mean by Ji Dan Shi being Miss's person?"

As soon as Sun Youfu finished speaking, he saw the enchanting woman sneer and say in a coquettish voice,

"Let's not talk about whether Ji Dan Shi is just a contracted alchemist of Ji Chun Tang and has the right to choose to stay or leave; even if she is the resident alchemist, so what? Isn't she still the resident alchemist of the Sun family? When did she become Miss's person?"

"Furthermore... our young master values talent and can't bear to see such a great talent like Ji Dan Shi being wronged."

"A two-star alchemist with a profit split of forty-six, and you, Sun Youfu, dare to speak up! If this gets out, won't people say that Ji Chun Tang is bullying others with its power? Where will Ji Chun Tang's face be then? Where will the face of the Sun family be?"

"You!"

Upon hearing the woman's words, Sun Youfu was momentarily speechless.

He wanted to retort, but he didn't know how to.

A profit split of forty-six was not quite appropriate for a two-star alchemist.

After all, even if the profit split was twenty-eight, it would still allow those shops to make a lot of money.

Not to mention the current special period where the price of the elixirs exceeded the original market price by forty to fifty percent.

Just as Sun Youfu was at a loss, Ji Boying smiled and arched his hand, saying,

"No merit, no reward. Although I am a two-star alchemist, I know that the conditions offered by the young master have far exceeded the current market situation."

"As the saying goes, if one's virtue does not match their position, disaster will follow; if one's talent is inadequate, they will only bring trouble upon themselves!"

"I appreciate the young master's kindness, but as for going to Ji Chun Tang in the east of the city... I have a clear understanding of myself, so there's no need to continue discussing it."

Upon hearing this, Sun Qingchen couldn't help but furrow his brows.

He lightly tapped the folding fan in his hand, still unwilling to give up, and said,

"Ji Dan Shi, won't you reconsider?"

"You should know that the path of alchemy is already difficult, especially the threshold of a three-star alchemist. Without external assistance, it would be difficult for one to step into it in this lifetime, relying solely on oneself!"

Ji Boying shook his head slightly and said,

"I am dull-witted and dare not aim too high. As long as I can be down-to-earth and take each step well without making mistakes, I will be satisfied."

"Ji Dan Shi, you should think carefully. Once you pass up this opportunity with our young master, it will be difficult to enter the next village!"

The enchanting woman walked up to Ji Boying and said in a seductive tone,

"Since childhood, I have been fond of alchemy, but I have never found a good teacher. When I entered the door today, with just one glance, I felt a strong affinity with Ji Dan Shi. I believe that Ji Dan Shi is the good teacher I have been looking for."

"What do you think, Ji Dan Shi?"

After the woman finished speaking, she threw a flirtatious glance at Ji Boying. At the same time, a mysterious wave of spiritual power silently enveloped him.

Standing in place, Ji Boying suddenly felt as if he was being covered by something.

The next moment...

He found that the Ji Chun Tang in front of him was inexplicably shrouded in a thin layer of smoke.

Sun Shopkeeper was gone.

Along with Sun Qingchen and the hunched old man, they all disappeared from the room.

All that remained was an empty hall.

"Ji Dan Shi..."

Just then, a familiar and gentle voice sounded.

Ji Boying instinctively turned around and saw a graceful figure slowly approaching him.

She was wearing a thin and slightly transparent dress, and amidst the swaying, one could vaguely see blurred scenery within.

As Ji Boying looked at this graceful figure, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Illusion magic?!

Or charm magic?!

"Master Jidan..."

The woman gently hooked her two fair wrists around Ji Boying's neck, her voice soft and gentle, resonating in his mind...

Ji Boying tried to push her away, but his body felt as if it were being pressed down by a ghost, unable to move no matter how hard he struggled.

Not only that, there was an uncontrollable flame burning in his lower abdomen, constantly scorching his dantian.

"Master Jidan, am I beautiful?"

The woman's vermilion lips slightly parted as she exhaled towards Ji Boying.

In the next moment...

Her moist vermilion lips gradually approached Ji Boying.

And the flame in Ji Boying's lower abdomen, as the woman got closer and closer, burned more and more fiercely.

Just as he saw those vermilion lips about to touch his own, the flame in his lower abdomen was about to burst out...

A cold voice suddenly rang out like a morning bell and evening drum...

"Is this how my brother tries to steal my master?"

As the voice resounded, the scene in front of him suddenly began to shatter.

The graceful figure that was there just a moment ago turned into scattered colored sand, dissipating in the wind.

The scene inside Jichuntang returned to his sight.

It was only then that Ji Boying realized that his back was completely soaked in sweat without him realizing it.

"Miss, please don't misunderstand. I found Master Jidan very kind and couldn't control my liking for him. It was just a moment of playfulness, unrelated to the young master."

Qingyan explained softly to Sun Qingruo, then threw a flirtatious glance at Ji Boying before retreating behind Sun Qingchen.

Seeing that Sun Qingruo had already appeared, Sun Qingchen didn't insist any further. He bowed to Ji Boying and said,

"It's getting late. Whenever Master Jidan has figured things out, you can come to Chengdong and find me. The doors of Jichuntang in Chengdong will always be open to Master Jidan!"

After saying that, he turned around with the two people behind him and left the hall.

Ji Boying watched their backs, his gaze slightly narrowed, especially when he looked at Qingyan, a hint of coldness appeared on his face.

However...

Qingyan's charm magic this time had taught him a lesson.

Previously, Ji Boying had always thought that with his forged body and his mid-stage Qi realm swordsmanship, he could easily defeat an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator.

But he didn't expect that just a casual use of charm magic almost ensnared his soul.

If Qingyan had targeted him intentionally and made preparations in advance, he would have become a fish on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

"It seems that I need to improve my spiritual power as soon as possible and find a method to resist mental attacks!"

Ji Boying thought to himself.

He took a deep breath and bowed to Sun Qingruo on the second floor.

"Thank you, Miss, for saving me!"

"Master Jidan, no need to be polite. As your employer, it is my duty to ensure your safety."

Sun Qingruo spoke calmly, her tone devoid of any emotions.

"Master Jidan, please rest in the quiet room. Although charm magic doesn't cause substantial harm, it does have a significant impact on the spiritual power. Take a moment to recover and then go back to rest properly."

"As for alchemy, it can wait until tomorrow."

"Thank you for your concern, Miss. I will rest for a while."

Ji Boying slightly bowed to Sun Qingruo and then turned directly towards the quiet room.

Seeing Ji Boying leave, Sun Qingruo shifted her gaze to Sun Youfu and said,

"Uncle Sun, I have something to discuss with you."
