Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

A long knife that is close to the level of a treasure.

A storage bag that is only about half the size of a square, plus about a hundred medium-grade spirit stones.

There are also several sword techniques that don't look very powerful, as well as a cultivation technique called "Dominating Qi Technique".

This cultivator, who is close to the peak of Foundation Building, only has so few possessions. The only valuable thing is the storage bag.

Ji Boying roughly calculated that excluding the storage bag, these miscellaneous items would add up to no more than four thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

It is more than enough to make up for the unsold defective talismans from before.

After packing up his things, Ji Boying did not linger and walked towards the direction of Yuxia Mountain.

He didn't walk very fast, but he replayed the previous battle in his mind.

The reason why Ji Boying was able to easily kill the man in black today was because he caught him off guard and attacked him unexpectedly.

If Ji Boying hadn't continuously used talismans at the beginning, making the other party think that he was just an alchemist who relied on talismans to save his life, the sneak attack wouldn't have been so smooth.

Of course...

If Ji Boying hadn't used talismans and directly fought him head-on, Ji Boying knew that his chances of winning were not great.

Although the other party couldn't catch him, leaving the enemy alive would always be a potential threat.

Moreover, Ji Boying didn't know if the man in black had fully displayed his strength, what level his strength was among the Foundation Building cultivators, and how he compared to those orthodox cultivators in the sect.

"I'm still not strong enough!"

Ji Boying looked at the evening glow that seemed to be soaked in blood, his eyes filled with determination.

"I have to seize the time to cultivate, even if I have to take medicinal pills, I have to increase the frequency of cultivation!"

"Otherwise... after the expansion of Fulong City, with my current strength, I'm afraid I won't even be able to protect myself!"

Back at home.

After Ji Boying had a deep discussion with his wife, Xiaoning, about talisman cultivation, he sat alone on the side to meditate and adjust his breath.

He took out the detoxification pill he bought earlier, took a deep breath, and swallowed it without hesitation.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it turned into a strong medicinal power that quickly surged into his body.

After feeling the restless power in his body, Ji Boying quickly started to operate his cultivation technique, guiding the medicinal power of the detoxification pill to spread throughout his body along his meridians.

Boom!

When the medicinal power spread throughout his body, the excruciating pain of bone-piercing and marrow-extracting also swept over him!

This kind of pain was even comparable to the pain he experienced when he was forced to soak in the medicinal bath by the witch.

Fortunately, Ji Boying had already experienced it once, so although this time was extremely painful, it was still within the range he could endure.

Time passed bit by bit...

It was about half an hour later.

Ji Boying's pain finally began to dissipate, and at this moment, wisps of black smoke started to emerge from his body.

These black smoke were the accumulated toxins in his body over the years!

As the toxins continued to be expelled from his body, Ji Boying's meridians and body seemed to be released from years of oppression, and they began to greedily devour the surrounding spiritual energy!

Boom!

Another muffled sound exploded inside his body.

Although there was no breakthrough in his cultivation realm, Ji Boying felt that his physical body had been greatly strengthened compared to before!

If he were to fight the man in black again, he could even do it without relying on talismans. Just by relying on his physical strength, he could win the battle with a hundred percent certainty!

Another half an hour passed...

The toxins in his body had been cleared by ninety percent, leaving only a trace of black lines entwined around his heart meridian.

Ji Boying looked at the remaining black line and a smile appeared on his face.

As long as he bought another detoxification pill, even a high-grade one, he could completely eliminate the remaining trace of toxins!

"It's been half a month, and there's still no news from Wukai Mountain?"

In the hall, Sun Qingchen half reclined on a long chair, one hand supporting his head, his expression cold as he spoke.

Wu Lao knelt on the ground, bowing his head and not daring to reply.

Sun Qingchen snorted coldly, then looked towards the other side where Qingyan was, and said indifferently:

"Qingyan, when you made a move against that alchemist that day, did you have a specific sense of his cultivation realm?"

"Replying to Young Master, based on the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from him when I used my charm technique, he should only be in the mid Foundation Building stage."

"Are you sure?"

Sun Qingchen squinted his eyes slightly.

"I am sure!"

Qingyan slightly bowed to Sun Qingchen, then added:

"I have already mastered the 'Illusory Sound Profound Technique' to perfection. Even if I can't drag them into the illusion realm, I can temporarily disturb their minds."

"And when dragged into the illusion realm, their spiritual power will be uncontrollable. The alchemist Ji Dan emitted only mid-level Qi Refining stage spiritual power after entering the illusion realm that day."

"Therefore, I am absolutely certain."

"Young master..."

Just then, Wu Lao suddenly looked up and asked softly:

"Could it be someone from Miss's side?"

"Perhaps."

Sun Qingchen replied indifferently.

"Young master, do you need me to take action? If I can handle it cleanly, they may not be able to find any evidence against us."

Qingyan volunteered.

"No need."

Sun Qingchen waved his hand and said:

"You two have other arrangements. As for that alchemist, let's let him enjoy his freedom for a while longer!"

Since the battle with the black-clothed person ended...

Ji Boying once again entered a monotonous but fulfilling life.

Alchemy, fighting, talisman making, sword practice.

These four things were done diligently every day.

And since that day, Ji Boying secretly bought a dual cultivation technique called "The Path of Prestigious Families" from the Wan Dao Trading Company.

With this technique, he wouldn't be so helpless against Xiao Ninger's "Dragon Binding Technique".

In addition, with the kidney-boosting elixirs used to supplement his vital energy and essence, Ji Boying's frequency of exchanging talisman techniques had increased from seven times to ten times in the past few months!

Although sometimes he felt exhausted, with sore waist and legs, and a lack of energy, he still enjoyed it.

After all, it was a form of physical training for himself.

Approaching June, the second expansion of Fulong City was finally completed.

The number of cultivators in the inner and outer cities, as well as the new city area, continued to increase. A conservative estimate would put the current number of cultivators in Fulong City at millions.

In the previous era, this would have been at least a second-tier city, or even close to a first-tier city.

[Name: Ji Boying]

[Cultivation: Fifth Layer of Qi Refining]

[Constitution (Fire): 3000 (Inferior)]

[Spiritual Soul: 10,000]

[Physical Body: 21,000 (Late Bone Forging, Poisoned)]

[Sword Dao: 12,000 (Mid-stage Gang Realm)]

[Talisman Dao: 25,000 (Two-star Superior)]

[Pill Dao: 11,600 (Two-star Intermediate)]

[Assignable Attribute Points: 248]

"Late Bone Forging stage, only nine thousand points away, and I will have a physical body comparable to a Gold Core cultivator!"

"Just right, today is the settlement at the Lingdan Pavilion. The money I've saved up during this period is enough to buy another top-grade detoxification pill."

"Also... in these few months, not only has the frequency of my talisman exchanges increased, but the intensity of my blood and energy has also skyrocketed. Ninger seems to struggle a bit during our exchanges."

"It seems I need to buy some elixirs to replenish her, otherwise, if I focus too much on nourishing the yang energy and neglect the yin energy, it might backfire and harm her body."

On his way to the Lingdan Pavilion, Ji Boying looked at the virtual frame in front of him and calculated in his mind.

However...

Just as his thoughts were wandering, a strong scent of cosmetics wafted over, followed by a familiar voice ringing in his ears...
