Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Boarding the flying boat back to Dongcang Xuanzhou.

Ji Boying's face was filled with worry as he transported his own blood and spiritual power.

The main purpose of this meeting was to discuss matters related to the territories of Dongcang Xuanzhou and Nancang Mingzhou and the demonic cultivators.

In order to slow down the invasion of the demonic cultivators into the two territories, the main hall needed to send a large number of cultivators to the frontlines to provide support.

Although Ji Boying was fortunate enough to be spared and didn't need to go to the battlefield like last time, but...

The Lord of the Hall, Luo Qinghan, gave him an impossible task.

Within ten years, he must elevate his cultivation in the talisman path to the level of a Five-Star Talisman King, and break through to the Nascent Soul stage in his Qi Refining cultivation!

After Luo Qinghan finished speaking, the entire meeting hall fell into silence.

Even...

Some elders stood up to speak up for Ji Boying.

But...

They were all rejected in the end.

The reason was simple.

These two requirements were the basic conditions for entering the Huimonth Ranking.

The headquarters would open a secret realm called the "Ten Thousand Dao Divine Altar" in at most ten years.

And the mandatory condition to enter the Ten Thousand Dao Divine Altar was to be in the top ten of the three rankings.

Ji Boying could forget about the Star Contribution Ranking and the Day of the Week Strength Ranking.

The former required the accumulation of time and effort, while the latter required talent and foundation.

In just ten years, no matter how powerful Ji Boying was, it would be impossible for him to break into the top ten.

Only the Huimonth Ranking that he had already climbed still held a glimmer of hope.

Of course...

If he could be like Su Ling, not a Talisman King but stronger than a Talisman King, and although he was only at the Gold Core stage, he could surpass the Nascent Soul stage, then these basic conditions could be slightly relaxed.

But...

Ji Boying admitted to himself that he couldn't compare to these geniuses for now.

His advantage lay in accumulation, which was fundamentally different from these explosive geniuses.

"I don't need to worry too much about the talisman path. With Goldfinger, as long as I'm willing to work hard, ten years is enough."

"But as for the Qi Refining cultivation..."

"Although I delayed my breakthrough to the Goldfinger stage because of the BUG that boosted my cultivation, even if I don't rely on this BUG and focus all my attention on cultivation, it's still impossible to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in ten years."

"You have to know that the top genius in the Crimson Flame Sect took nearly a hundred years to go from Foundation Building to Gold Core."

"Not to mention breaking through from Gold Core to Nascent Soul."

Thinking of this, Ji Boying couldn't help but rub his temples.

In addition, there was one extremely fatal point.

Under the invasion of the Heavenly Demon Hall, Dongcang Xuanzhou wouldn't last much longer.

If it weren't for the Thousand Dao Trading Company delaying time with the help of cultivators from the other two territories.

Dongcang Xuanzhou would probably have already become a territory completely controlled by demonic cultivators.

Of course...

This was just barely holding on. Ji Boying estimated that at most, it would take two to three years before Dongcang Xuanzhou would completely fall into the hands of demonic cultivators.

By that time, he would have to move to Zhongzhou with his two wives.

And the headquarters in Zhongzhou only accepted members outside of the main hall, which meant that Ji Boying would have to be separated from his two wives.

Although the headquarters would arrange a place for the relatives of core members, the so-called arrangement was actually a melting pot negotiated by various major forces.

It was a chaotic place where order collapsed.

It was not a place for cultivation at all!

On this matter, Ji Boying had consulted Su Ling before.

The other party gave him two choices.

Either go with the flow and accept all the arrangements of the trading company, or give up the favorable conditions of the headquarters and move to the settlement area.

Perhaps knowing that Ji Boying was unwilling.

Su Ling finally gave him a third choice - to offer conditions that the trading company couldn't refuse!

"Conditions that the trading company can't refuse?"

Ji Boying sighed lightly.

"How difficult is that!"

At the same time, in the Eastern Cyan Xuan Continent...

Upon receiving the news of Ji Boying passing the assessment from the Wan Dao Ge, the branch headquarters led by Yang Qingshan and Wu Yuanyu, several Nascent Soul officials, were so excited that they almost tore down the Affairs Hall on the spot.

The commotion attracted the attention of many guest officials and disciples.

After all, they were members of the Wan Dao Ge.

In the entire commercial firm, there were only a little over a hundred people.

This was the result of gathering the majority of geniuses from the five continents.

As a member of the Eastern Continent branch, Ji Boying's ability to pass the assessment and become the one in a million existence was equally a source of pride for them.

On this day...

At the branch headquarters in the Azure Dragon Immortal City, all the elders, guest officials, shopkeepers, and even disciples received an order at the same time!

Regardless of what they were doing or where they were, whether they were in seclusion or not, as long as they were still within the territory of the Azure Dragon Immortal City, they had to gather outside the city, a hundred miles to the east, within an hour. If anyone arrived late, their contracts with the commercial firm would be immediately terminated and they would never be employed again!

After the order was issued, the entire commercial firm instantly erupted into chaos. In less than half an hour, it had caused a stir throughout the city.

Not only were the elders and guest officials of the commercial firm confused, but other forces and families in the city were also discussing it.

Even... some major forces in the Eastern Continent that were not originally in the Azure Dragon Immortal City held meetings after receiving reports from their spies in the city.

And so...

An hour after the order was issued, the entire Eastern Continent was in a state of turmoil, and even attracted the attention of the demonic forces.

At that time...

In a small restaurant called Ju Xiang Tang.

At this time of day, it would usually be packed with people, bustling and lively. But today, it was unusually empty and desolate.

Therefore...

The shopkeeper simply had the servant close the restaurant early and take a day off.

"Miss."

In a elegant room in the backyard of the restaurant.

Sun Youfu held his stomach and bowed to the woman in front of him, reporting with a wry smile, "I don't know what happened today, but all the elders, guest officials, shopkeepers, and even disciples of the Wan Dao Commercial Firm's branch headquarters have been taken to the east side of the city."

"After hearing the news, many families and cultivators in the city followed them out to observe, causing our little restaurant to have no business today."

"Since there won't be anyone coming later, I decided to close the restaurant and take a day off."

"Then let's close the restaurant and take a day off."

The woman spoke lightly, seemingly not very concerned about it.

Seeing this, Sun Youfu paused for a moment and continued, "Miss, ever since you came out of seclusion, you've been locked in your room studying alchemy. It's been a long time since you went out for some fresh air."

"Two years ago, Mr. Ji came specifically to visit you, but you didn't see him because you were refining pills."

"Today, I have nothing urgent to attend to, and you're not refining pills either. Would you like me to accompany you for a walk outside?"

"By the way... let's see what happened on the east side of the city?"

At the mention of this, the woman's eyes flickered slightly.

Not because of the last two sentences from Sun Youfu, but because...

The three words "Mr. Ji."

In Sun Qingruo's mind, an image of a slender figure involuntarily appeared.

Since they parted ways in the Fulong City, she had never seen this alchemist again.

She had heard that he had gone out for something important.

Now that the Eastern Cyan Xuan Continent was in such turmoil, she didn't know if his trip had gone smoothly.

"Miss?"

Seeing that his young miss was absent-minded, Sun Youfu couldn't help but sigh.

"If you don't want to go out, we won't. Since I have a day off today, I'll take the opportunity to tidy up the accounts..."

"Accompany me out of the city!"

Before Sun Youfu finished speaking, a soft and gentle voice sounded in the room.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily and quickly responded, "I'll prepare right away!"
