Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Chapter 62 Surprise

Clang!

The sound of a sword suddenly rang out without warning.

In the next moment, sword qi burst forth, accompanied by a sharp and piercing sound that spread through the ears. The entire Jade Ring Lotus Pond, starting from the center, suddenly split into two in a double-sided radiation!

Not only that, even the water outside the lotus pond split into two along the line of the Jade Ring Lotus Pond.

The water on both sides, hovering in the air, seemed to be boiling and constantly churning. However... no matter how the water rolled, it could never gather back together.

As for the inside of the Jade Ring Lotus Pond, at this moment, two sword qi barriers were formed, forcibly separating the righteous and demonic cultivators into two places...

"Gurgle!"

The middle-aged cultivator who spoke earlier cleared his throat.

At this moment, a silver long sword was suspended in front of him.

"Now, what about now? As a mere Gold Core cultivator, am I qualified to vouch for all of you?" Li Pu pointed at the middle-aged cultivator and said indifferently.

"Please calm down, Lord Envoy!" The old man with white hair saw this scene and knew that they were in the wrong and had completely lost their qualifications for negotiation.

He simply dissipated his spiritual power, retracted the round ring behind him, and walked to Li Pu's side, bowing deeply.

"We are willing to listen to Lord Envoy's words and stop here!"

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the middle-aged cultivator, sternly reprimanding, "Why haven't you apologized to Lord Envoy yet?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator, regardless of his status as a Nascent Soul True Immortal, quickly took a step back and also bowed deeply to Li Pu, saying, "I was overwhelmed by anger and spoke without thinking, unintentionally offending Lord Envoy. I hope Lord Envoy can forgive me."

Li Pu glanced at the middle-aged cultivator and immediately retracted the sword at his side, then turned to look at the young man in Confucian robes behind him.

"Everyone... can we stop now?"

"Since Lord Envoy has spoken, how can we not comply?" The young man in Confucian robes smiled lightly and also dissipated his spiritual power and the treasure seal behind him.

"That's more like it!" Li Pu smiled brightly, and the coldness on his face disappeared without a trace.

"Reason should prevail, and harmony is the most important thing!"

"Now that we have stopped fighting and made peace, why don't the four True Immortals sit down and have a drink?"

Saying that, Li Pu looked at the old man with white hair again and said with a smile, "What does Master Du think?"

"Lord Envoy's words are absolutely right!"

...

In this way, a potentially explosive battle between the righteous and demonic cultivators came to an end with Li Pu's sword.

Ji Boying sat in the pavilion, watching the group of True Immortals toasting and exchanging cups in the distance, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart.

Li Pu's sword not only severed the thoughts of the righteous and demonic cultivators, but also completely shattered his last trace of wishful thinking.

Ever since Ji Boying learned that he could gain sword cultivation experience by killing people, he had the idea of going out and exploring. As long as he persisted in hunting and killing demonic beasts, his sword cultivation experience would continue to increase. He could gradually become a true swordsman through these life-and-death battles.

But as Fulong City prospered and more Gold Core cultivators appeared in the city, Ji Boying thought of waiting until he reached the Golden Body stage before occasionally going out to hunt demonic beasts.

However...

The later appearance of demonic cultivators in the city completely disrupted his plans.

But it only disrupted his plans, not extinguishing his desires.

On that day, when he hid his cultivation and went to the Spirit Pill Pavilion alone, Ji Boying had the intention of fishing.

Even if he didn't gain much sword cultivation experience.

Even...

Today, witnessing the battle between Nascent Soul experts, Ji Boying realized that there was still an insurmountable gap between himself and Nascent Soul True Immortals, but he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Jumping to a higher realm, he was nothing but an ant.

If he could jump a few smaller realms, even if he couldn't defeat his opponent, he could at least reveal his hidden cards, and the other party might not be able to do anything to him.

This is Ji Boying's previous fantasy.

But... after Li Pu drew his sword, this fantasy of his was completely shattered.

Originally...

These cultivation levels are sometimes just for show.

Even though the cultivation level of that middle-aged cultivator is one realm higher than Li Pu's, he is still nothing but an ant without any ability to fight back in front of Li Pu.

There are always people better than others, and there are always things beyond one's reach.

Ji Boying has always thought that he was already despicable enough and miserable enough.

But he never expected that there would be someone even more miserable than himself!

If he pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and encounters a tiger like this, then he will truly become a pig.

Ji Boying let out a long breath.

He no longer had the mood to enjoy the banquet.

And so, until the sunset.

Ji Boying followed Yun Qianshan and the others, leaving the Chi Yan Sect in a daze.

Seeing Ji Boying silent all the way, Yun Qianshan thought he was injured by the spiritual energy released earlier and asked with concern:

"Mr. Ji, are you feeling unwell? Do you need the doctors in the pavilion to take a look at you?"

Ji Boying suddenly came to his senses and shook his head:

"Thank you for your concern, shopkeeper. I'm fine."

Seeing Ji Boying speak like this, Yun Qianshan didn't ask any further.

---

When they returned to the Yun Residence, the moon was already shining sparsely, and the night was deep.

Ji Boying looked up at the starry sky and couldn't help but feel speechless.

"Indeed, the novels I used to read cannot be completely trusted."

"In the future, I will endure if I can, and avoid fighting and killing with others if I can."

"With Goldfinger by my side, as long as I keep working hard, I may not be weaker than Li Pu in the future!"

"When I become a true strong cultivator, it won't be too late to make a splash!"

Thinking of this, the gloom that had been suppressed in his heart instantly dissipated.

Ji Boying slapped his own cheek, then touched the storage bag in his chest filled with precious spirit fruits and fine wine, and smiled as he walked towards the Yun Residence.

However...

When passing by the main gate, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy when he saw the almost completed Fengming Pavilion next to it.

Not long ago, he had stood up Yun Mama.

If Yun Mama were to move to the Fengming Pavilion in the future, how would he face her?

Hopefully, the thing he worried about won't happen...

---

Back at home.

As soon as Ji Boying entered the door, he was embraced by his beloved.

Her delicate and boneless body hanging on him made Ji Boying feel light-headed.

"Husband, why did you come back so late today? Ning'er was worried about you..."

Xiao Ning'er looked up at Ji Boying with a slightly coquettish tone.

Ji Boying smiled and rubbed Xiao Ning'er's head.
