Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

In a bamboo tower.

While Su Ling was writing talismans, she was also enjoying the snacks meticulously prepared by Ye Qingqing.

Occasionally, when she found writing talismans boring and wanted to take a break, she would give some guidance to Xiao Ninger on talisman techniques.

These past two weeks had been quite pleasant.

After finishing a section of annotations.

Su Ling put down her talisman brush and gently rubbed her forehead, intending to take a break.

Before long...

Ye Qingqing quickly approached, carefully offering a cup of spiritual tea and a plate of fruit that had been chilled and carefully prepared.

After all, it was the scorching season of the hot sun, and even with Ji Boying's ice wind talisman maintaining a comfortable temperature indoors, there was still some restlessness in her heart.

So, Su Ling skipped the tea cup and focused her gaze on the fruit plate.

Just as she was about to randomly pick a piece of peeled and sliced spiritual fruit from it, she unexpectedly discovered that the spiritual tea was not emitting steam, and there was even residual mist on the cup's surface.

This... is also cold?

Noticing Su Ling's gaze, Ye Qingqing explained softly:

"This is a new method I recently came up with for brewing spiritual tea."

"Fresh and clear spiritual fruit is crushed, and the juice is sealed in an ice storage."

"As for the calming tea itself, it is brewed in the usual way, except... after the spiritual tea is brewed, it is not removed but sealed directly in the teapot and allowed to cool."

"When you want to drink it, you open the teapot and add a piece of frozen spiritual fruit."

"Although this prepared spiritual tea lacks its original tea fragrance, its medicinal effects and taste remain unchanged. Moreover, adding a frozen spiritual fruit not only further cools the spiritual tea, but also adds a hint of fruity aroma and sweetness."

"It is excellent for summer consumption."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of interest flickered in Su Ling's bright eyes, like stars.

She picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

In an instant, a touch of icy coolness entered her mouth and bloomed on her tongue.

Cool like water from a mountain spring, fragrant like the scent of a hundred flowers.

Whether it was an illusion or not, her slightly tired brain suddenly felt exceptionally relaxed and refreshed!

Like this...

After taking a sip, Su Ling began to drink a second sip, a third sip...

Until the cup was empty, a hint of lingering satisfaction remained on her face.

"Not bad!"

Su Ling, who had never tasted this kind of spiritual tea, praised without hesitation.

"Is there more?"

She turned to look at Ye Qingqing.

"Yes!"

The latter's heart rejoiced and quickly refilled Su Ling's cup.

"If Mr. Su likes it, I can prepare more."

"No trouble."

Su Ling did not refuse politely.

In the past, when she drank spiritual tea, it was always with a specific purpose. After all, she didn't particularly like drinking tea, and the purpose of drinking tea was only to relax and nourish her soul.

This special taste of spiritual tea prepared by Ye Qingqing was her first time trying it.

Looking at the cup that was once again emptied by herself.

For a moment, Su Ling felt a hint of envy towards Ji Boying.

But soon, she suppressed this inappropriate thought.

"The path is long, if I sink into this, how can I reach the top?"

"I shouldn't drink this spiritual tea!"

Splash—

A crisp sound of water rang out.

Su Ling collected her thoughts and saw that the cup in her hand, which had been completely emptied, was miraculously full again?!

She rolled her throat and a struggle appeared on her face.

Until a moment later.

The previously struggling determination in her eyes flashed with firmness.

"The path is long, my vision should not be so narrow! How can a mere cup of spiritual tea mislead me?"

After saying that.

She once again lifted the tea cup and drank the spiritual tea in one gulp...

Another period of time passed.

On this day...

Su Ling drank spirit tea while annotating talisman scriptures, occasionally eating a few pieces of sliced spirit fruit.

However...

Just as she was about to take a break after annotating a section as usual...

A strange feeling arose within her, as if she was being summoned.

She turned slightly and glanced towards the entrance of the corridor. After a moment, she put down her talisman brush and took out a stack of talisman paper from her storage ring, handing it to Xiao Ninger across from her, saying:

"From now on, besides you and Qingqing, no one is allowed to approach the bamboo tower!"

"If anyone tries to dissuade you, kill them directly!"

Xiao Ninger's heart tightened, and before she could ask anything, she saw Su Ling get up and walk to the center of the hall. Then, using her finger as a brush, she quickly drew spirit patterns in the void.

In just a quarter of an hour...

A barrier that combined soundproofing, divine retreat, and gaze-blocking enveloped the entire bamboo tower.

After completing all of this...

Su Ling went straight up to the second floor through the corridor.

Sure enough...

Ji Boying, who had been immersed in his own world for half a month, had already awakened!

At this moment, his whole person emitted a completely different aura compared to before.

Not only that...

There was an invisible halo behind him!

Within the halo, countless tadpole-like runes were slowly swimming.

Su Ling looked at those runes, and in an instant, a deafening roar like a bell echoed in her mind.

She tightly grasped her clothes, trying to suppress her excitement, and tremblingly asked:

"You... have you comprehended... the essence of talismans?!"

The sudden question left Ji Boying stunned in place.

He paused for a moment, hesitated for a while, and uncertainly said:

"I think... I have?"

"I think I have?"

Su Ling's tone carried a hint of confusion and puzzlement.

Ji Boying smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying:

"I don't know if I have comprehended the essence of talismans."

"I'm just connecting talismans with the circuits from my previous life, and it feels like they can be connected. That's all..."

"As for whether they can really be connected, I don't know. After all, I haven't conducted any experiments. What if... the previous connection was just a coincidence?"

The last two sentences were just Ji Boying's thoughts in his mind. After all...

If he were to say it out loud, Su Ling, this genius in talismans, might not understand. She's not a transmigrator.

If she were also a transmigrator, what follows might be a horror story.

As his thoughts wandered...

Ji Boying saw Su Ling casually sketch a simple talisman in the void.

Then...

A clear and melodious voice resounded in the room.

"Strengthen this talisman and elevate it to a five-star... no, four-star level."

"Can you do it?"

Ji Boying carefully examined the talisman, which was a fire attribute attack talisman.

He had attempted to strengthen this kind of talisman in his own mind and succeeded.

So...

"I can give it a try."

As he spoke, Ji Boying took out a talisman brush and began to strengthen the fire attribute attack talisman according to the insights he had gained before.

Since it was only a four-star level power, the requirements were not very high.

In just about two quarters of an hour...

Ji Boying successfully completed the task.

He looked at Su Ling and asked softly:

"Is this okay?"
