Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

One hour later...

As a surge of powerful spiritual energy surged in the room, in the next moment...

A bright spiritual light appeared on the talisman.

A second-grade inferior talisman was completed!

It went smoother than the two had imagined, and it was also simpler than they had imagined!

Looking at the second-grade inferior talisman on the table, a smile appeared on Xiao Ning'er's face.

Ji Boying was the same.

He gently bit Xiao Ning'er's ear and whispered softly,

"Shall we try a medium-grade talisman?"

Xiao Ning'er nodded in response.

"This time, let's be a little faster. Ning'er, you don't have to be too restrained. Try to relax a bit. I will also increase the strength and speed a little. Maybe the efficiency will be higher!"

"If Ning'er can't bear it, be sure to speak up, okay?"

Xiao Ning'er nodded.

Immediately, the two began to draw a second-grade medium-grade talisman.

With the experience from the first attempt, the two were obviously more skilled this time.

As for Xiao Ning'er, compared to before, she was also less restrained and more free-spirited when she held the brush.

Ji Boying gradually increased the strength he injected, while at the same time, his soul completely merged into the talisman, maintaining the stability of the internal spiritual energy.

Although the two were now making talismans without obvious restraints, the difficulty did not decrease at all, and in some aspects, it even increased.

For example, Ji Boying's infusion of spiritual energy. If it was solely the spiritual energy converted from his spiritual roots, Xiao Ning'er's current cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refining would be able to withstand it completely.

But...

If it was the spiritual energy converted from the Qi and blood of the Body Tempering Realm, Xiao Ning'er might not be able to bear it.

Therefore, Ji Boying needed to allocate a part of his mind to specifically control the delivery of his spiritual energy, trying to make it as gentle and stable as possible when it entered Xiao Ning'er's body.

Of course, this was only one aspect.

The infusion of spiritual energy into Xiao Ning'er's body was only the first step and a prerequisite.

Xiao Ning'er had to convert Ji Boying's spiritual energy for her own use and transfer it to the brush. That was the key!

The process of drawing talismans was meticulous and precise. A slight deviation could lead to a huge difference, just like when refining pills. The amount of each medicinal liquid had to be precisely measured. Any slight deviation, more or less, could result in the failure of pill refinement, or even... an explosion!

Before long, another hour had passed.

As a burst of bright spiritual light appeared again.

The second second-grade medium-grade talisman... was also successfully drawn!

It took less time than when Ji Boying drew it alone, and the quality was higher than when Ji Boying drew it alone!

"Husband, I want to try a high-grade talisman!"

Xiao Ning'er turned to look at Ji Boying and said softly.

"Drawing two consecutive second-grade talismans has consumed a lot of your energy. Rest for half an hour first."

"Ning'er doesn't need to rest..."

"Listen to me!"

Xiao Ning'er originally wanted to continue, but when she saw Ji Boying's serious gaze, she hesitated for a moment, then obediently nodded and began to meditate and adjust her breath.

As for Ji Boying, he walked out of the room.

He looked at the sky. It was now approaching summer, and the day was coming earlier than before.

Ji Boying picked up a wooden sword from the side, meditated for a while, and then began to practice swordsmanship.

Although the attack last night was easily resolved, the opponent was still a Qi Refining cultivator.

And...

He had been hiding the fluctuations of his Qi and blood. If others didn't deliberately observe, they would only think he was a mid-level Qi Refining cultivator.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to catch the opponent off guard.

Clang!

A burst of sword sound suddenly exploded, and in the next moment, a sharp sword aura bloomed like a lotus.

Within the range of one sword, a temporary vacuum zone was formed at this moment.

Ji Boying's sword trembled slightly, dispersing the sword aura around him. He reached out his hand, feeling the residual sword energy in the surroundings, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Strength should still be the priority. Although alchemy and talisman making can earn money, if one cannot protect oneself with strength, it will ultimately be like making a wedding dress for others."

"After my spiritual soul breaks through 10,000, I will focus on breaking through my physical body."

"Thirteen points at a time, seven times a day... In half a year, I can break through the 30,000 mark and enter the Golden Body realm!"

"By then... Foundation Building cultivators will be nothing more than ants in my eyes!"

"Hoo!"

Ji Boying let out a long breath.

He glanced at the room behind him and saw that Xiaoning'er was still resting. After hesitating for a moment, he planned to go out for a walk and relax.

Since moving to Yuxia Mountain, he had never wandered around here before.

Now he had some free time, so it was a good opportunity to explore the nearby area.

Also...

If possible, he wanted to visit Steward Wu.

Now that he had attracted attention, he couldn't be sure when his residence would be investigated. At that time, he would need the other party's help.

With this thought in mind, Ji Boying walked straight towards the outside.

However...

Just as he was about to walk down the mountain, he saw two figures standing not far from the forest on the mountainside.

At first, Ji Boying didn't pay much attention, thinking they were just cultivators who also resided on Yuxia Mountain.

But...

When he looked closely, he realized that one of them seemed familiar.

"It's him?!"

In Ji Boying's mind, scenes from the Jichun Hall that day instantly appeared.

The other person was the old man behind Sun Qingchen, a Foundation Building cultivator!

"How could he be here? Could he also be a tenant of Yuxia Mountain?"

Ji Boying murmured, then quickly returned to his residence.

After hesitating for a moment, he looked around in the courtyard and then brought several Eight Immortals chairs from the living room. He stacked them together, leaped up, and jumped onto them.

Feeling that it still wasn't secure enough, Ji Boying took out a hidden breath talisman from his storage bag, completely concealing his aura. Only then did he feel at ease to look towards the direction of the forest.

Due to the distance, even though Ji Boying had already reached the Forge Body realm, he still couldn't hear what they were saying.

After about half a stick of incense, the Foundation Building old man bowed to the other person and walked straight down the mountain.

As for the other person...

They followed the path up the mountain and headed towards the top of Yuxia Mountain.

Seeing the two of them leave, Ji Boying didn't continue to stay on the wall.

He leaped down to the ground, his face slightly solemn.

"Could yesterday's assassination be related to Sun Qingchen?"

Ji Boying murmured.

He had suspected that the five people might be bandits, but after thinking about it, he denied this speculation.

Because since yesterday morning when he entered the city, he had already been targeted. If they were bandits, they wouldn't have only targeted one person, but randomly chosen an easy target.

Apart from bandits, the only person with a reason to target him...

Was Sun Qingchen!

After all, during this period of time, Ji Boying had caused quite an impact on Sun Qingchen. It would be reasonable for him to harbor murderous intent.

Of course, this was just a suspicion, and Ji Boying had no evidence.

After resting in the courtyard for a while, Ji Boying returned to his room.

At this time, Xiaoning'er had also finished her rest.

Ji Boying swept away the previous gloom on his face and smiled gently as he walked to his beloved wife's side.

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Mhmm!"

Xiaoning'er nodded, then said, "Husband, let's start making high-grade talismans!"

"Okay!"
