Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Headquarters of the trading company.

Jianshan!

The flying sword, entwined with a red thread, continued to collide with the barrier that bound it.

Like an eagle trapped in a cage, it would rather die than be enslaved and imprisoned by others!

Finally...

As time passed.

The once indestructible barrier finally showed a crack.

The golden flying sword, as if seeing hope, immediately let out an excited roar.

Its frequency of collision became faster, and the released sword energy became more fierce.

Even though countless collisions had caused irreparable cracks on its body.

Finally...

With a crisp sound echoing in the world, the crack on the barrier finally completely broke open.

A ray of spiritual light slowly bloomed from the crack.

In the next moment, the time and space of the entire Jianshan seemed to freeze.

Countless broken swords that were still roaring and hovering in the sky seemed to be embedded in the void, completely motionless.

Crack... crack!

After a long time.

On the silent Jianshan, another crisp sound resounded.

But this time, the crack on the barrier, emitting spiritual light, rapidly stretched and spread at a terrifying speed until...

It covered the entire barrier and caused it to completely shatter!

Under Jianshan.

The old man who had been guarding outside the mountain gate suddenly opened his eyes.

In the instant he saw it, he saw a figure rising into the sky from the towering tornado of broken swords on the mountaintop, emitting a dazzling light.

With a sword thrust, countless swords resounded together!

The qi rolled like a river, and the momentum was like a mountain collapsing!

The artistic conception was pure, capable of breaking through the sky!

The old man looked at the white-haired youth among the flying swords, and the pent-up frustration in his chest finally dissipated!

On this day...

Li Pu, at the age of 800, flew out with a sword, breaking through the sky!

Heavenly Thunder Main Hall.

Birds chirping, flowers blooming, like a fairyland garden.

Lu Qinghan, dressed in a loose plain robe, was sitting cross-legged on a rock in front of a slender waterfall.

Golden arcs of electricity surrounded her, making her appear particularly peaceful and serene amidst the chirping of birds, buzzing of insects, and the sound of flowing water.

However...

Just as Lu Qinghan was about to circulate her cultivation technique for another revolution.

A golden birdcage suddenly appeared in her sea of consciousness!

Lu Qinghan couldn't care less about the thunder element still circulating in her body. She abruptly opened her eyes and stopped her cultivation.

Forcing an end to the backlash caused by the completion of the revolution, soon, bloodshot lines appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Even the originally calm and peaceful golden arcs of electricity on her body made a hissing sound, as if they were aging electrical wires.

Lu Qinghan pressed down the restless energy in her body with her hand, her fair face frowning.

In her cold and sharp eyes, there was a hint of killing intent.

However...

This killing intent only emerged for a moment before she forcibly suppressed it.

"Ji Boying..."

She murmured softly.

A memory scene buried deep in the mind resurfaced uncontrollably.

It was a dilapidated small courtyard.

In the courtyard, there were only two simple and crude wooden houses of different sizes.

Among them, the slightly larger wooden house had a bed, a wardrobe, and a wooden table by the window.

In addition, there was a wooden barrel big enough to accommodate two adults...

Not long after.

A mist suddenly appeared in the room.

The self in the scene, completely out of control, entered the wooden barrel filled with hot water.

A familiar sensation suddenly came from the back.

Then, in the room, there was only the sound of crisp and brisk water...

Boom!

Inside the Zhulou branch headquarters.

With a violent surge of spiritual power, a huge vortex of spiritual power formed above Ji Boying's head.

The spiritual energy in the Zhulou seemed to be drawn by the vortex, crazily converging and swirling, finally merging into Ji Boying's body as he sat on the cushion.

After nearly an hour, Ji Boying's cultivation breakthrough from the original Foundation Building Fourth Level to the Foundation Building Sixth Level.

The vortex of spiritual power slowly dissipated and finally disappeared completely.

Ji Boying slowly opened his eyes.

However, his expression was not as joyful as one would expect from a breakthrough in cultivation. On the contrary, he looked somewhat unpleasant.

The result he least wanted to see had finally appeared.

The three waste spiritual roots of water, earth, and metal left by the original host of this body were activated one after another under the stimulation of the Creation Pill, promoting them to inferior spiritual roots.

Upon learning of this result, Ji Boying immediately thought of taking another Creation Pill.

But...

After hesitating for a moment, he gave up on this idea.

The effect of the Creation Pill is different from that of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Pill. It can only elevate the spiritual roots by one grade, up to the Earth grade at most. Beyond the Earth grade, it has no effect.

Now, Ji Boying has activated all five elemental spiritual roots and an additional ice-type spiritual root.

Among these six spiritual roots, only fire, wood, and ice are above the superior grade. If the three inferior spiritual roots are elevated by taking the Creation Pill, Ji Boying would really be at a loss.

With his current rate of attribute points allocation, he can elevate all the spiritual roots to the superior grade in just one month.

After all, he now has 90 attribute points per exchange!

With 30 exchanges per day, that's 2,700 points!

Maintaining this intensity continuously for a month would result in 81,000 points of free attributes!

With this speed, why waste a precious and only three-time usable Creation Pill?

"Enough."

"With my current rate of attribute points allocation, activating the other three waste spiritual roots is actually a good thing."

"Although cultivating with six spiritual roots is extremely slow, as long as I can elevate the quality of all six spiritual roots to the superior grade, my cultivation speed will definitely be faster than when I had three waste spiritual roots! The conversion efficiency of spiritual energy will also be higher!"

"This is good for my talisman-making as well."

"Besides... the ultimate goal of the Palace Lord is for me to reach the top ten of the Huiyue Ranking. Even if my Qi Refining cultivation hasn't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, it shouldn't be a big deal."

Thinking of this, Ji Boying's originally suppressed mood suddenly lightened.

He took a deep breath and calmed down the restlessness caused by the breakthrough in cultivation.

Then he got up and left the guest room, heading towards the master bedroom.

With all the spiritual roots activated now, he should work even harder to earn more attribute points to improve the quality of those spiritual roots.

In addition, his experience in talisman-making has far surpassed his spiritual power attribute. In order to adapt faster after breaking through to the Five-Star Talisman King, he also needs to prioritize improving his spiritual power and break through as soon as possible!

PS: It's really getting excessive. There's only so little content, and you keep deleting and deleting.

If you want to delete, go ahead, I won't say anything. But you deleted a whole sentence and left only two words, it's not even readable...

Also, there are some parts where I really didn't drive off track. I wrote it seriously, so please, dear reviewer, don't always assume the worst intentions behind my words.

Wuwuwu...

Sometimes, Lao Wai really just talks about the matter at hand, there's really no hidden meaning or color.
