Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"Tianxuan Jade, Blood Phoenix Crystal, Xuan Water Liquid, Ice Spirit Water..."

"Tsk tsk, there are really so many spirit objects that assist in the Foundation Building process!"

Ji Boying looked at the list in front of him and couldn't help but be amazed.

The profound heritage of the Wan Dao Commercial House is truly terrifying.

Each of the spirit objects he had seen before could increase the success rate by thirty percent. If these were taken outside, they would attract countless sects and aristocratic families fighting over them.

After all, for ordinary Foundation Building cultivators, having the opportunity to form a Golden Core is already a heaven-sent opportunity. As for the spirit objects that assist in the Foundation Building process, even if they exhaust their family's resources and spend their entire lives, they may not be able to obtain a single one.

Even for some geniuses from major sects and aristocratic families, the Foundation Building spirit objects they obtain are probably of the same level as those obtained from the Thousand Island Lake treasure ship.

They can only increase the success rate by about ten percent.

"However..."

Ji Boying sighed lightly and shifted his gaze away from those Foundation Building spirit objects.

"These spirit objects that increase the success rate of cultivators forming a Golden Core are not very meaningful to me."

"The process of forming a Golden Core is nothing more than a test of spiritual power, physical body, and soul cultivation. Now, except for spiritual power, my soul and physical body have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, impeccable. The spirit objects that increase the success rate are of little use to me."

"What I need... are spirit objects that can increase the Dao patterns!"

With this thought in mind, Ji Boying shifted his gaze to another list.

This list of resources was obtained by Ji Boying after he climbed the Huiyue Ranking.

The heavenly treasures and earthly treasures listed inside made Ji Boying dizzy.

However...

The prices were somewhat discouraging.

Especially the Dao Crystals that Ji Boying wanted the most.

One Dao Crystal without attributes required three thousand contribution points!

Not spirit stones, but contribution points!

Dao Crystals are priceless treasures in the commercial house. For any cultivator, they are something that can be encountered but not sought after.

To exchange for a Dao Crystal, one can only use contribution points.

Ji Boying currently only has a meager three hundred contribution points, with more than half of them obtained from the Thousand Island Lake mission.

As for the rest...

They are the total sum of all the contribution points Ji Boying has earned since becoming a core member.

In other words, in the past few years, Ji Boying has only accumulated a little over one hundred contribution points.

At this rate, it would take hundreds of years to exchange for a Dao Crystal.

"Hmm? Nine Revolutions Tempering Dan Fire?"

Just as Ji Boying was searching for spirit objects that could enhance the Gold Core's spiritual patterns in the list of Foundation Building spirit objects, he suddenly caught sight of a separate item listed at the bottom.

"Nine Revolutions Tempering Dan Fire: The Innate Fire Spirit contracted by the Dan Fire Palace's Palace Master Han He, not only has remarkable effects in alchemy, but can also temper the inner cores of demonic beasts and cultivators, improving the quality of their inner cores?!"

"Oh my god! The Innate Fire Spirit can do this too?"

With this thought in mind, Ji Boying immediately summoned his own Innate Fire Spirit.

Since using the Innate Fire Spirit for alchemy, Ji Boying has often used his spare money to feed it some heavenly and earthly treasures.

Until today...

Although the intelligence of the Fire Spirit is still a bit worrying, there are no barriers to communication using their souls.

Ji Boying immediately asked about his confusion.

Before long, he received a...

Negative answer.

This guy can only help temper external pills, not internal cores.

"In the end, it was a mistake."

Ji Boying looked at the constantly flickering small flame in front of him and said leisurely,

"You can't even do such a simple thing as tempering the inner core. I wasted so many good things on you!"

"From today onwards, unless you can independently refine top-grade and Ming Dan, I will cut off all your cultivation resources until you can refine top-grade pills!"

Innate Fire Spirit: (?w??)?!

"Alright, if there's nothing else, go and refine pills."

Speaking of which, Ji Boying didn't care whether Huo Ling agreed or not. He casually threw him towards the alchemy furnace in the nearby pill room, and then set up several restrictions and isolation symbols.

Huo Ling originally wanted to jump back.

But he ended up being hit by the oncoming restrictions, leaving him with a swollen and bruised face.

Hmm...

Although it doesn't have a nose or a face.

Ji Boying continued to focus his gaze on the inventory list.

Through the detailed introduction above, Ji Boying learned that this Nine Transformation Quenching Fire was not the true form of the Innate Fire Spirit of the Alchemy Hall Master, but a strand of refined fire that split from it.

Cultivators or demonic beasts can refine their own inner core by absorbing this refined fire.

This process is similar to alchemy, and theoretically, as long as the refining technique is proficient, a strand of refined fire can refine a dan mark in the inner core.

However...

This refining process is extremely painful, and it becomes more intense each time. Even the physically strong and fierce demonic beasts cannot endure it, let alone normal human cultivators.

After all, it involves using the human body as an alchemy furnace, refining the inner core with refined fire in the dantian. Just speaking of this method is enough to make people tremble with fear.

"Should I give it a try?"

"The spiritual objects that increase dan marks can only be used once of the same type."

"On the inventory list, the best spiritual objects can only increase three dan marks, and... they can only be exchanged with contributions, which I can't afford at the moment."

"As for the ones exchanged with spirit stones, they can increase at most two spirit marks."

"In other words, if I don't choose to use the Nine Transformation Quenching Fire, the Gold Core I finally condense will only have five spirit marks..."

"If I choose the Nine Transformation Quenching Fire, a strand of refined fire only costs one thousand high-grade spirit stones, and theoretically, as long as the cultivator can withstand this inhuman torture, there is no limit to the use of refined fire, and the dan marks can be fully filled."

"It sounds very tempting!"

Ji Boying rubbed his chin slightly and hesitated for a moment before choosing the latter.

He was originally focused on his physical body, and his cultivation in the Daoist arts was only used to improve the utilization and operation rate of spiritual power, making it easier for him to make talismans.

The success rate of forming the Foundation Building Pill had already reached one hundred percent, guaranteeing him at least five dan marks. What else was there to fear?

With this in mind, Ji Boying left the guest room directly and went to the commercial building to submit his application.

Canglong Immortal City.

An old woman dressed in ordinary coarse linen clothes, leaning on a cane, exuding only the cultivation of the late Foundation Building stage, was shuttling through the main road of the inner city, bustling with carriages and horses.

She kept looking back and forth at the shops and stalls on both sides, her cloudy eyes filled with curious gazes.

It gave off a feeling of Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.

Like this...

She kept walking forward.

Until she approached a crimson long bridge, she stopped and looked at the distant branch office of the commercial building, which had five floors every five steps, with exquisite carvings and intricate designs, and was full of intrigue.

After a brief pause, the old woman continued to follow other customers who wanted to trade in the commercial building and walked inside.

Blending into the crowd, she was inconspicuous.

Not eye-catching as a person, even less so in terms of cultivation.

So... no one would notice her presence. Even if they did, they would just glance briefly and then look away.

What's so special about an old woman in the Foundation Building stage?

Isn't it more enticing to have young beauties in their prime or charming young married women?

Like this...

The old woman wandered around the streets inside the branch office for nearly half an hour, until night fell and the entire branch office was illuminated with colorful lights. Only then did she change direction and head towards the main building of the Wan Dao Commercial Building.

Not even at the entrance yet.

Sounds of birds chirping and twittering came, and then the old woman saw several extremely beautiful young women, holding the arms of some cultivators dressed in luxurious clothes, walking towards the inside.

If one didn't know that this was the Wan Dao Commercial Building, this scene would make people think they had entered the Phoenix Pavilion.

However, the old woman didn't care about this phenomenon. What she cared about...

were those young women!

After getting the answer she wanted in her heart, a kind and yet somewhat eerie smile appeared on the old woman's wrinkled face.

"So it really is the Wan Dao Commercial Building!"
