Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"It seems that the autumn rain didn't consider everything thoroughly."

Autumn Rain pretended to be apologetic, then took out a scroll and said softly,

"As for the quota for settling in the righteous realm, the Wan Dao Commercial Firm still has quite a few, and half of them are in the inner city."

"If Mr. Ji is willing to continue staying in the Fulong City, the Commercial Firm can give Mr. Ji a quota for free."

Ji Boying's heart trembled.

The Commercial Firm can actually give him a quota for free?!

Although he was excited in his heart, Ji Boying still maintained a calm expression on his face.

He glanced at the scroll.

He saw that the areas circled on it were very close to the inner city, and even half of them were already inside the inner city.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. The Commercial Firm must have some requirements for giving me this quota, right?"

Autumn Rain smiled.

"There are naturally requirements, but for Mr. Ji, these requirements are nothing."

"Tell me about them."

There is no business without deceit, especially for a super large business like the Wan Dao Commercial Firm. Ji Boying had to be cautious.

"Mr. Ji only needs to sign a guest agreement with the Commercial Firm and become a resident talisman master."

"As for the specific requirements of being a resident talisman master... it's similar to your current agreement, except that the number of talismans provided each month will be changed from 50 two-star talismans to 80 two-star superior talismans."

At this point, Autumn Rain emphasized again.

"It's 80, two-star, superior, talismans!"

"Is it really that simple to just change the 50 two-star talismans to 80 two-star superior talismans?"

Ji Boying furrowed his brows slightly and asked with some doubt.

"It's just that simple."

Autumn Rain still smiled.

"No other additional requirements?"

"No."

Hiss...

If that's the case, he seemed to have no reason to refuse.

He originally thought that becoming a resident talisman master would mean that he could only serve the Wan Dao Commercial Firm. As for the Ling Dan Pavilion, if it were to reopen someday, he wouldn't be able to go back due to his identity restrictions.

But he didn't expect that becoming a resident talisman master would simply increase the number of talismans he could make!

But if that's the case, what does the Wan Dao Commercial Firm want?

Seemingly understanding Ji Boying's confusion, Autumn Rain explained with a smile,

"The Wan Dao Commercial Firm is different from the aristocratic families. They don't have many restrictions on guest agreements."

"The reason why the Wan Dao Commercial Firm has been able to develop to its current state and spread throughout the entire Dong Cang Xuan Continent, even becoming the largest commercial firm in every main city, is because of the many guest agreements they have with them!"

"And the reason why the Commercial Firm can have so many guest agreements is precisely because there are few restrictions but extremely high treatment."

"Among the guests of the Commercial Firm, there are scattered cultivators like Mr. Ji, as well as descendants of aristocratic families and people from sects."

"If that's the case... then the Commercial Firm in Fulong City should also have many guests, right?"

Ji Boying asked.

"That's right. As of today, there are a total of 99 guests in the Fulong City Commercial Firm. If Mr. Ji can join, it will be a perfect number."

"99 guests?"

Ji Boying raised an eyebrow and looked at the map on the table, then smiled.

"I see that there are only about 70 places in total that the Commercial Firm owns on this map. If there are 99 guests in the Commercial Firm, where do the extra 20 or so guests live?"

"Did Mr. Ji forget what I just said?"

Autumn Rain asked with a smile.

Ji Boying was slightly stunned at the words, then slapped his forehead.

"It was impulsive of me, Mr. Ji."

Among the guest officials in the commercial firm, they can generally be divided into three categories: scattered cultivators, aristocratic families, and sect members.

To become a guest official, scattered cultivators need to have at least the level of Ji Boying.

This is not just boasting on his part. Even if we don't talk about the Dao symbols, it is rare for someone to reach the level of a two-star middle-grade alchemist.

The benefits and treatment of recruiting guest officials in the commercial firm are there, but how many scattered cultivators can obtain them?

As for the rest, they are people from aristocratic families and sects.

The land in Fulong City is now controlled by aristocratic families and sects, so they naturally won't lack a place to stay like Ji Boying.

"How about it? Mr. Ji, do you have the intention to sign the contract?"

Autumn Rain helped Ji Boying pour another cup of hot tea and asked with a smile.

"Are you sure this is the only additional condition?"

Ji Boying asked again.

"Hehehe... Mr. Ji is really cautious. If you don't believe it, you will know when you sign the contract later."

Seeing Ji Boying's cautious appearance, Autumn Rain couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Not long after...

Autumn Rain brought a piece of animal skin contract.

Compared to the previous cooperation, the animal skin used for this guest official contract had better quality and a hidden sense of spirituality, mysterious and unfathomable.

Ji Boying roughly glanced at the content of the contract, and indeed, the only additional requirement was an increase in the number of talismans to be made.

However, the punishment was also increased.

If Ji Boying couldn't complete the required number of talismans, he must make up for it in the second month. If he couldn't make up for it, the contract would be terminated on the spot, and he would never be able to sign any cooperation contract with the commercial firm again.

Not only that...

Even the house provided by the commercial firm would be taken back.

Although the punishment was severe, it was not a big problem for Ji Boying.

He didn't need to refine pills now. With 80 high-grade talismans, if he worked fast, ten days would be enough.

With this in mind, Ji Boying didn't feel burdened and directly signed his name on it.

Seeing that the contract had been successfully signed, Autumn Rain's smile became even more pronounced.

Being able to help the commercial firm sign one more guest official was also of great benefit to her.

Moreover, Ji Boying was her responsibility from the beginning, and in the future, when he became a successful guest official, she would naturally be the one responsible for him. The commission from the transaction volume would be a considerable income.

Thinking of this, Autumn Rain bowed to Ji Boying and said, "Now that the contract has been signed, please follow me to the manager's office for assessment."

"There's still an assessment?"

Ji Boying couldn't help but be surprised at the words.

"Assessment is required by the headquarters of the commercial firm. Every guest official has to go through an assessment before officially becoming a guest official."

Autumn Rain explained with a smile, then said, "With Mr. Ji's level of talisman mastery, this assessment is just a formality."

Upon hearing this, Ji Boying suddenly realized, and then followed Autumn Rain upstairs to the reception room of the commercial firm.

Indeed, there was an assessment.

However...

Autumn Rain's purpose in assessing Ji Boying was not to see if he could pass the assessment, but rather, the manager was curious about which kind of talisman was made by Ji Boying.

Not long after.

The two arrived in front of a reception room on the top floor.

Compared to the reception room downstairs, the one upstairs was not only quieter but also had a touch of elegance and freshness in its decoration.

"I suppose this is Mr. Ji, the talisman master?"

As soon as they entered the room, a middle-aged cultivator came forward with a cupped fist, his steps bold and his enthusiasm exceptional.

He slightly bowed to Ji Boying and introduced himself...
