Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Chapter 271

"Just leave it here."

Outside the Canglong Immortal City, on a certain mountain peak.

Su Ling stood with her back to the giant flying boat behind her and said softly,

"This time when I return to headquarters, I will go into seclusion and attempt to break through the twenty-seventh level of the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Derived Symbol."

"The path ahead... you will have to walk it on your own."

"Although you have already comprehended the essence of symbols and reached the Symbol King realm, becoming a Symbol King is not as simple as refining five or six-star symbols. It involves the laws of symbols. Only by mastering the laws of symbols can one truly stabilize in the Symbol King realm."

"Otherwise... even if you learn all the five and six-star symbols, you cannot be considered a Symbol King, only a Symbol Master!"

The laws of symbols...

Just like the laws of the sword, one can only step into the sixth law realm by fully mastering the laws of the sword.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Su. I will remember this!" Ji Boying solemnly bowed to Su Ling.

Su Ling did not avoid anything and accepted it calmly.

She glanced at the sky and gave her final instructions.

"The nine symbol scriptures I left for you may not involve the laws, but they encompass all the symbol principles and seal techniques of the five and six-star Symbol King realm. As long as you follow them step by step, you won't encounter any bottlenecks in symbol comprehension."

"In addition, there is the Canglong Immortal City."

"Now, the Canglong Immortal City seems peaceful, but it is actually the calm before the storm!"

"At the latest by the end of this year, the Demon Temple will begin to invade again, and even the Canglong Immortal City will be completely lost."

"Although your current strength, Fellow Daoist Ji, is not enough to protect yourself in this chaos, whether it is the main hall or the commercial district, they will not allow talents to fall in places where they shouldn't."

"So... Fellow Daoist Ji, you can rest assured and take this opportunity to hone your skills in symbols!"

At the latest by the end of this year, the Canglong Immortal City will suffer from the invasion of demonic cultivators?

Ji Boying sighed lightly in his heart.

What a troublesome autumn!

He had finally connected symbols with circuits and found a breakthrough. As long as he continued to experiment, he would surely gain something.

But...

The current situation did not give him the chance to focus on his experiments.

The two of them chatted for a while longer.

When Su Ling saw that it was almost time, she didn't say much and bid farewell simply before boarding the flying boat and leaving.

---

After seeing off Su Ling, Ji Boying did not immediately return to his post. Instead, he went to Sun Laoge's Ju Xiang Tang.

Of course...

Ji Boying wasn't there for the hotpot.

After all, he had obtained all the broth recipes from Sun Youfu a long time ago. With Chef Ye Qingqing here, he could replicate them himself.

His purpose in coming here was to catch up and inquire about the mysterious Qinghua True Immortal!

After all, he was the one who invented "One Cut" and "Hotpot."

He had to be cautious.

In case the other party really was a time traveler...

A hint of killing intent flashed in Ji Boying's eyes.

Fortunately, the other party was just a true immortal, a Gold Core cultivator!

As his thoughts turned, Ji Boying arrived at the entrance of Ju Xiang Tang.

Just like before.

With the hotpot as its divine artifact, Ju Xiang Tang was still bustling with customers.

Ji Boying walked into the lobby and found a waiter, asking, "Is Sun Laoge here?"

"I'm sorry, sir, but it's really unfortunate. Both the boss and the owner went out of the city just two days ago."

"They went out of the city?"

"How coincidental?"

Ji Boying frowned slightly.

Then he heard the waiter continue, "Sir, do you have any business with our boss? If it's not about purchasing the recipes, you can go find Manager Wang for other matters. He is currently in charge of Ju Xiang Tang."

Hearing this, Ji Boying didn't rush to find Manager Wang. Instead, he asked, "Do you know why the boss and the owner went out of the city?"

"Well..."

A hesitant look appeared on the waiter's face. It seemed that he knew a little bit about the situation.

Ji Boying calmly took out a high-grade spirit stone and slipped it into the waiter's sleeve.

The waiter's face, which had been hesitant and troubled, suddenly showed a hint of joy.

He glanced around and saw that his colleagues were all busy with their tasks and had no time to pay attention to him. Then he began to whisper to Ji Boying, "I don't know the exact reason why the boss and the owner went out of the city. But... it was a sudden decision! And they left in the middle of the night!"

"Spontaneous decision? Or leaving the city overnight?"

Ji Boying squinted his eyes slightly.

What urgent matter could make Sun Youfu and Sun Qingruo so anxious to leave the city?

"That's right!"

The servant lowered his voice again and continued, "That evening, the shopkeeper Sun was busy preparing for the night market when a young man with a yellow hat suddenly arrived."

"After seeing the young man with the yellow hat, the shopkeeper immediately stopped everyone and delayed the night market for half an hour. Then he took the young man with the yellow hat to the backyard."

"When they came out again, it was already fifteen minutes later."

A young man with a yellow hat?

Sun Youfu's attitude towards that young man with the yellow hat seemed a bit unusual, as if they were acquaintances. And not just any acquaintances, but someone very important?

This plot...

Why does it feel like a scene from a spy drama?

"Are there any other details?"

Ji Boying looked at the servant and slipped a handful of spirit stones into his sleeve, then continued to ask.

Feeling the weight in his sleeve increase, the servant's face showed obvious delight.

What a big profit!

So many spirit stones, and all of them are high-quality. Even if he worked himself to death, he wouldn't be able to earn this many spirit stones!

He quickly grabbed his head, furrowing his brows, as if trying hard to remember.

After a few breaths, he suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Right, when that young man with the yellow hat left, our shopkeeper personally escorted him to the door!"

"He even said, 'Please rest assured, Mr. Sun and Miss Sun will not fail their mission.' Yes, that's the exact phrase!"

Mr. Sun?

Mr. Sun?!

Damn it!

Could it be that Qinghua Zhenren?

Is it just a coincidence?

He was so busy drawing talismans before that he had forgotten about this matter. Now that he finally remembered, he was told that he missed the opportunity.

This feeling...

It's even more nauseating than being told during the act that there will be a room inspection tonight!

Right, Brother Sun also said that they will not fail their mission, and he said it together with Miss Sun.

Are they helping Qinghua Zhenren with something?

If it were only Sun Youfu, it would be understandable, after all, he's just a Foundation Building cultivator.

But Sun Qingruo...

Not only is she a Gold Core cultivator, but she is also a three-star alchemy grandmaster.

Qinghua Zhenren and she should be of the same generation. How did he persuade Sun Qingruo to help him? Just based on the gratitude for saving his life?

If that's the case, why use the phrase "will not fail their mission"?

Ji Boying fell into deep thought.

If it were someone else, Ji Boying wouldn't care at all, at most just a little curious.

But...

This matter involves Qinghua Zhenren, and he has to be extremely cautious!

The other party is most likely a time traveler!

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Not to mention two time travelers in the same Five Continents.

Of course...

Except for one male and one female.

If they are both male...

Sorry!
