Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Sun Youfu shook his head with regret and said, "At that time, all I could think of was 'cutting with a knife.' I forgot to ask about the young man's background. By the time I came to my senses, he was already gone. Otherwise, no matter what, I would have thanked him properly!"

Ji Boying felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

"Old brother."

"If you happen to see that guest again, please introduce me to him," Ji Boying said.

"Brother Ji, rest assured! I will pay attention!" Sun Youfu replied.

"Also..."

Sun Youfu smiled and took out a bag of spirit stones and two jade slips.

"This is the share for this month, a total of 7,464 pieces! As for these two jade slips... they are a token of appreciation from my young lady."

"In this family dispute, my young lady's branch is weak. Thanks to Brother Ji's help, there is a glimmer of hope."

"Furthermore, if Brother Ji has any needs in cultivation techniques or alchemy, the family will do its best to fulfill them. Please don't hesitate!"

Ji Boying nodded and bowed to Sun Youfu.

"Please thank the young lady on my behalf, Brother Sun."

"Brother Ji, rest assured, I will convey your gratitude!"

"Also..."

Ji Boying hesitated for a moment and continued, "Brother Sun, there is something you and Miss Sun need to pay attention to."

"Relying on sales tactics to buy some time is ultimately a temporary solution. Over time, it will be learned by the shops in the east of the city, or even other shops."

"If Jichuntang wants to develop in the long run and establish a firm foothold in Fulong City, relying solely on sales methods is not enough. It is necessary to focus on quality and build its own reputation!"

"Furthermore, both the east and south of the city are Sun family properties, and they are both called Jichuntang. If Miss Sun wants to use Jichuntang as a stake, she must consider the future. Whether to continue calling this shop Jichuntang requires careful consideration!"

Sun Youfu's face became more serious upon hearing this.

He slightly bowed to Ji Boying and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I will convey this matter to the young lady and consider it carefully!"

Ji Boying nodded.

The two of them chatted briefly and then Ji Boying left Jichuntang in advance.

After all...

There are still many reserves of elixirs in the warehouse, and there is no need to rush alchemy.

After leaving Jichuntang, Ji Boying went directly to Wanda Commercial House in the inner city.

Calculating the time, it has been a month since he last came here after buying the talisman pens.

Today, he just received some income, over 7,000 spirit stones, which can be used to purchase some things here.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, long time no see!"

As soon as he entered the Treasure Pavilion, Ji Boying saw Qiu Yu.

When Qiu Yu saw Ji Boying, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Fellow Daoist Ji, it's been a month since we last met at Wanda Commercial House. I wonder... is Fellow Daoist Ji here to buy something or sell something?"

Ji Boying was momentarily stunned, but he quickly understood the meaning behind Qiu Yu's words.

So, she's trying to find out!

He smiled and said, "Both buying and selling!"

Qiu Yu's gaze flickered slightly, and then she jokingly said, "Can I call Fellow Daoist Ji 'Master Ji' now?"

Ji Boying was speechless upon hearing this.

"If Fellow Daoist Qiu likes it, then it's fine!"

In this past month, Ji Boying's experience in talisman dao has surpassed 3,000, making him a second-grade talisman master.

Coupled with thoroughly mastering the two talisman manuals, Ji Boying's success rate in drawing second-grade low-level talismans has reached seventy percent!

Moreover, the talismans he drew were full of spiritual power, with almost no signs of leakage. If their quality were to be measured by the standards of elixirs, these talismans could be considered top-notch!

As for Xiao Ninger, due to her own spiritual power, she was still at the first-grade high-level stage.

Autumn rain brought Ji Boying into an elegant room and then brewed a cup of tea for him.

"I wonder if Master Ji wants to buy first or sell first?"

"Let's sell first."

Ji Boying smiled and then took out several stacks of talismans from his storage bag.

Among them...

One-star medium grade: Earth Trap Talisman, 15 pieces.

One-star high grade: Thunderlight Talisman, 20 pieces; Spiritlight Talisman, 30 pieces; Binding Talisman, 30 pieces.

Two-star low grade: Armorlight Talisman, 5 pieces; Dispersing Spirit Talisman, 6 pieces.

These talismans were all refined by Ji Boying and Xiaoning'er. Of course, the main credit for the high-grade one-star talismans belonged to Xiaoning'er. After all, Ji Boying only refined pills during the day and would only take time to draw talismans with Xiaoning'er at night.

"Please take a look, Fellow Daoist Qiu!"

When Qiu Yu saw Ji Boying take out so many high-grade one-star talismans, her heart already stirred. But when she saw the 11 low-grade two-star talismans, she couldn't sit still anymore.

"Two-star talismans?!"

"These were refined by Master Ji?!"

Ji Boying just continued to taste the spiritual tea in his hand and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Qiu Yu bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master Ji, could you wait here for a moment? Let me have these talismans identified first."

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, please take your time."

Qiu Yu nodded, bowed slightly to Ji Boying, and then left the elegant room with the talismans.

The more she thought about it, the more shocked she became. At first, when Ji Boying came to buy basic talisman manuals, she thought he was just a beginner in talisman dao and could at most draw low-grade one-star talismans.

But she didn't expect...

This Fellow Daoist Ji was hiding so deep!

He could even draw second-grade talismans!

If it was just drawing first-grade talismans, even if they were high-grade, Qiu Yu wouldn't be so surprised.

After all...

In the vast Fulong City, including the newly built city area and the various towns under its jurisdiction, there were millions of cultivators, naturally including one-star talisman masters.

But...

Among the many talisman masters, those who could reach the second-grade level were few and far between!

As her thoughts turned, Qiu Yu had already arrived at the top floor of the Wandao Trading House. She walked along the corridor and went straight to a luxuriously decorated room.

"Shopkeeper Yun, Qiu Yu requests an audience!"

"Come in..."

As the voice of a middle-aged man came from the room, Qiu Yu entered with the talismans.

"Shopkeeper Yun, today I received a batch of talismans and need you to identify them..."

Qiu Yu handed the stack of talismans from Ji Boying to the middle-aged man and briefly introduced Ji Boying's situation.

"A fourth-layer Qi Refining talisman master? Or a second-grade talisman master?"

The middle-aged man's gaze slightly condensed, with a hint of doubt on his face. Then he picked up the second-grade talismans and carefully examined them.

"These second-grade talismans have smooth spiritual patterns, even ink distribution, and... not a trace of spiritual power leakage. It can be seen that the person who made these talismans has extremely profound brushwork skills!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yu continued to ask, "Then... were these talismans all made by the same person?"

The man looked at the other talismans, but with just a glance, he could tell that the drawing techniques and habits of these talismans were different.

"Hmm..."

However, just as he was about to tell Qiu Yu that these talismans were not made by the same person, his expression suddenly changed.

"This is strange..."

Muttering to himself, the man took out all these talismans and, after a careful identification, roughly divided them into three piles.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Yu couldn't help but look confused.

"Shopkeeper... what's the matter with these talismans?"
