Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

After completing the procedures, Ji Boying left Wanda Commercial House and headed towards his own mansion.

Originally, Ji Boying wanted to express his gratitude to Qiu Yu and perhaps invite her to have a meal at the Drunken Immortal Tower.

But...

Seeing that she was not in the right state, Ji Boying could only thank her verbally and leave it at that.

There were some things that he, as an outsider, couldn't say anything about, so he could only silently remember Qiu Yu's kindness in his heart.

Of course, if there was an opportunity, he wouldn't mind hinting at it.

The premise, however, was that Li Pu, the envoy from the headquarters, was truly worth befriending.

"Now that I have obtained the qualifications, I need to find some time to go and see the house in person."

"Although the map provided by the commercial house is detailed, there are some things that you can only know by seeing them in person. If possible... it would be best to choose a place with fewer people."

Ji Boying murmured to himself.

Then he quickened his pace and headed towards his mansion.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Ji Boying's steps became lighter as he hurried along.

---

Late at night...

The sea was raging with fierce winds and heavy rain, causing waves to surge.

The battle between the giant dragon and the talisman cultivator caused the heavens and earth to lose their color, and the mountains and seas to collapse.

Although the talisman cultivator's Binding Dragon Technique and Dragon Control Art had reached the pinnacle, the current giant dragon was no longer what it used to be!

Its golden body was comparable to a Gold Core cultivator, allowing it to move freely among the spiraling talismans.

Even though the talisman cultivator repeatedly provoked it, he had no way to deal with it.

And so...

After fighting for the time it takes to brew a few cups of tea, the talisman cultivator was finally defeated due to exhaustion.

And the giant dragon, because of this long-awaited victory, let out a wild roar of joy, and even...

Spewed out a dragon breath that shot straight up into the sky.

[Experience gained: +120 (280,000/1,000,000)]

[Realm bonus: None]

[Effect bonus: 50%]

[Oath of the Sea and Mountains: 150%]

[Free attribute points: +18]

[Skill attribute points (Talisman Dao): +18]

[Innate Divine Talisman: +18 (10,278/30,000)]

[Talisman production cost: -20%]

[Talisman power: +20%]

[Talisman Integrated Union: +150%]

Looking at the significant increase in his attributes, Ji Boying felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Since the assessment ended, he had been staying at home, communicating with his wife about talisman cultivation, or drawing talismans together, or practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.

Without the job at the Lingdan Pavilion, Ji Boying had a lot more time to spend with his wife.

The number of times they communicated about talisman cultivation had also increased.

After putting his wife to bed and waiting for her to fall asleep, Ji Boying went to the adjacent room alone.

He took out the top-grade Detoxification Pill he had purchased from the commercial house earlier and then opened the long-unused attribute panel.

[Name: Ji Boying]

[Cultivation: 6th Layer of Qi Refining]

[Constitution (Fire): 3,000 (Inferior)]

[Spiritual Soul: 126,000]

[Physical Body: 30,000 (Golden Body Initial Stage, Poisoned)]

[Sword Dao: 120,000 (Gang Realm Mid Stage)]

[Talisman Dao: 370,000 (Three Stars Inferior)]

[Pill Dao: 140,000 (Two Stars Mid Grade)]

[Innate Divine Talisman: 10,278/30,000]

After this period of cultivation, Ji Boying had already broken through to the Golden Body realm.

Moreover, because the shackles on his physical body had been broken, the spiritual power contained in his blood and qi was already enough for Ji Boying to refine three-star talismans.

However...

Due to the fact that the spiritual energy has not caught up yet, the success rate of the three-star talisman is pitifully low, and the quality is also not very good.

If one forcefully refines a three-star talisman, not only will the efficiency be low, but even if it is refined, it will not be profitable.

Because...

At the three-star level, talismans are no longer able to be supported by ordinary talisman paper or ink.

In order to accommodate a vast amount of spiritual energy, special animal skin is needed instead of talisman paper, and as for ink, it also needs to be replaced with animal blood or special spirit ink.

All of these materials are expensive.

Even for some low-grade three-star talismans, the price of just one material can reach thousands of medium-grade spirit stones.

Compared to the materials for a two-star high-grade talisman, which only requires a few medium-grade spirit stones, the difference is huge!

However, Ji Boying doesn't mind this. The current low success rate doesn't mean that the future success rate will also be low.

He has plenty of time to stay at home, and the number of exchanges has increased from nine times to twelve times.

In at most three months, he will have a soul comparable to the Gold Core stage.

By that time, the success rate of refining three-star talismans will be at least thirty percent, or even higher!

Compared to the success rate of eighty to ninety percent when refining two-star talismans, the success rate of three-star talismans is indeed very low.

However...

Even a thirty percent success rate is considered outstanding among three-star talisman masters.

Because three stars are a threshold.

Only when one's skills reach the three-star level can they be called a master!

Just like the Gold Core stage.

As long as a Qi Refining cultivator has decent spiritual roots and cultivates diligently, they will definitely be able to achieve Foundation Building.

But... to achieve the Gold Core stage, it is not just about having good spiritual roots and working hard.

It also requires opportunities and perseverance!

As the saying goes...

Only by forming a Gold Core can one truly embark on the path of cultivation.

However, these constraints do not exist for Ji Boying.

Because of the existence of the Goldfinger, Ji Boying only needs to add a little bit to break through, and he doesn't even need Barrier Breaking Pills.

"I just don't know... if I can avoid the tribulation when breaking through from Soul Formation to Nascent Soul."

"Just to be safe, I need to accumulate more attributes in case of any unexpected situations!"

Ji Boying murmured softly.

But soon, he shook his head with a bitter smile.

All of these are too far away, and it's unrealistic to think about them now.

With this in mind, Ji Boying's gaze fell on the detoxification pill he had bought from the shop before.

After the last detoxification, there was only a trace of poison left in his meridians.

Will taking the detoxification pill this time completely eliminate the poison debuff?

Thinking of this, Ji Boying directly swallowed the pill.

The pure medicinal power instantly spread throughout his body.

Perhaps because of his strengthened physique, Ji Boying hardly felt any pain when taking the detoxification pill this time.

He even felt a cool and comfortable sensation.

Not only that, but even the speed of absorbing the medicinal power was several times faster!

Like this...

In just a few breaths, the medicinal power of the detoxification pill was completely absorbed.

Ji Boying let out a long breath, then looked at the physique column on the virtual panel.

[Physique: 30,000 (Gold Body Initial Stage, Poisoned)]

????

"Why am I still poisoned?!"

"Didn't I already take the detoxification pill?"

Ji Boying looked at the status bar, his face sank, and he quickly immersed his mind in his body.

He saw a thin black line, as thin as a hair, lingering around his meridians...
