Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"Mr. Ji is interested?"

Qiu Yu chuckled and said,

"Holding an auction was an instruction from the headquarters some time ago. As for the auction items... they are actually some rare internal resources."

"Mr. Ji, as a guest, you can purchase these internal resources at any time, and at internal prices. There's no need to spend unnecessary money at the auction."

Upon hearing this, Ji Boying was speechless.

He had thought that the auction would be like the novels he had read in his previous life, with many rare martial arts techniques and treasures of heaven and earth.

And then the major forces would compete fiercely for those treasures, even tearing their faces apart...

But in the end, it was just a novel.

Like this...

The two chatted for a while, and after Ji Boying received what he needed, he didn't linger and returned to Yunzhong Mansion early to prepare for the upcoming assessment.

The amount of information he received today was greater than what he had received in the past year.

And...

No matter which piece of information he looked at, it wasn't good news.

First, the commercial firm added a Nascent Soul-level elder to preside over affairs.

From this point, it was not difficult to see that after Fulong City fell into the hands of the demonic cultivators, the previous peace would no longer exist. The conflicts between the righteous and demonic cultivators might even be more intense than the current border market.

Not only that, the conflicts that were previously only between Qi Refining and Foundation Building cultivators might escalate to Gold Core or even Nascent Soul level conflicts after Fulong City completely fell into the hands of the demonic cultivators!

At this time, it was necessary to have a Nascent Soul-level elder to preside over affairs!

Although the righteous and demonic cultivators would give the commercial firm some face on weekdays, the premise was that the commercial firm had enough strength.

If Yun Qianshan continued to preside over affairs, it was uncertain whether the commercial firm could continue to operate in Fulong City.

Of course, this was only because Yun Qianshan's cultivation level was not high, not because his business ability was lacking.

As for the second point, the establishment of qualifications and level assessments...

Ji Boying only saw the most superficial aspect of survival of the fittest, and the deeper purpose was still unknown for the time being.

In addition, Li Pu's probing today, the request to complete the level assessment as soon as possible, and the few words he said before parting...

Ji Boying was still confused until now.

As he approached Yunzhong Mansion, Ji Boying looked up at the plaque and then smiled.

"If I can't figure it out, then I won't think about it."

"Even if the sky falls, there will still be someone to support it. I just need to take each step well!"

With this in mind, Ji Boying stepped over the threshold and walked towards his own courtyard.

---

The moon was bright and the spiritual lamps flickered.

In the living room, three people gathered together, enjoying the fruits of Ye Qingqing's labor.

Perhaps, good food really could heal everything. Ji Boying's slightly suppressed mood was now much better.

Especially the feeling of eating meat and drinking wine heartily, it was simply irresistible!

Seeing Ji Boying enjoying his meal so much, Ye Qingqing's eyes also showed a hint of smile.

After half a year of getting along, she had completely integrated into this family, even though Ji Boying had not given her a formal identity until now.

Like this, after about half an hour, until all the delicacies on the table were completely gone, Ji Boying contentedly lay on the Eight Immortals chair.

Cultivators were good in this aspect. They never had to worry about getting full when eating. Even if they ate too much, they could just circulate their spiritual energy to dissipate it.

"Qing'er, sit down first and clean up later."

Ji Boying waved at Ye Qingqing, who was tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, and then took out the robe he had bought from the commercial firm today from his storage bag, and said gently,

"Soon, the demonic cultivators will completely take over Fulong City. At that time... even the inner city will have many demonic cultivators settling in."

"Although you and Ning'er rarely leave the house, there's no guarantee that some unruly people won't come knocking on the door."

"This robe may not have many functions, but its defensive capabilities are excellent. It can even withstand the attacks of a Gold Core cultivator. Coupled with the talismans I left for you, even an ordinary Gold Core cultivator may not be able to harm you."

"This..."

Ye Qingqing looked at the robe and immediately recognized it as the same one Xiao Ninger was wearing.

She had thought it was just an ordinary robe used to enhance the relationship between husband and wife, but she didn't expect it to be able to withstand the attacks of a powerful Gold Core cultivator!

How much spirit stones does this robe cost?!

Thinking of this, she quickly said to Ji Boying, "Young Master, this... this is too precious. Qingqing... Qingqing dares not accept it."

"We are all family, why wouldn't you accept it?"

Xiao Ninger took the robe and directly stuffed it into Ye Qingqing's arms, smiling and saying, "If Qingqing sister doesn't accept it, what if a demonic cultivator comes one day and hurts Qingqing sister? Wouldn't that make her husband sad?"

"Right?"

Saying that, Xiao Ninger looked at Ji Boying and playfully blinked her eyes.

"Um... yes!"

Ji Boying nodded awkwardly, feeling that Xiao Ninger had misunderstood something again.

Buying this robe was simply because he had an abundance of spirit stones.

Moreover, Ye Qingqing had been in this family for almost half a year. During this time, she not only took care of herself and her wife's meals, but also took over all the household chores, allowing him and Xiao Ninger to focus on cultivation and talisman making.

Not to mention anything else, since Ye Qingqing arrived, Ji Boying and Xiao Ninger were able to produce two or three more three-star lower-grade talismans every month on average.

Calculating it, they could afford to buy half of this robe in this half year.

Like this...

Seeing Ji Boying nodding, Ye Qingqing happily accepted it. Moreover, under Xiao Ninger's instigation, she changed into it on the spot.

Unfortunately, the style of this robe was like an outer garment, and Ji Boying didn't get to appreciate the beautiful scenery he wanted to see.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Blushing, Ye Qingqing bowed to Ji Boying and sincerely thanked him.

Ji Boying smiled and then took out a jade bottle from his pocket.

"Previously, I heard from Aunt Yun that you are afflicted with a peculiar poison called the Heart-Locking Vine. It requires a top-grade Detoxification Pill to cure."

"Coincidentally, I brought one back when I went to the commercial district today."

"Young Master..."

Looking at the pill handed over by Ji Boying, Ye Qingqing's delicate body couldn't help but tremble.

Her lips twitched slightly, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

She had thought that Ji Boying had long forgotten about this matter, or perhaps... even if he remembered, he might not care.

Cultivators were often heartless. She, Ye Qingqing, was just a servant for others' amusement. If they got tired of her one day, they might casually abandon her. Who would really care about the life and death of a servant like her?

As for the robe Ji Boying gave her, although Ye Qingqing was extremely grateful, in her eyes, it might have been just a passing fancy or a hint from Ji Boying.

Robes were different from pills. The robe could still be kept even if a person was gone.

But once the pill was gone, it was really gone.

Moreover, the top-grade Detoxification Pill was a three-star top-grade pill, worth tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones!

Although Ji Boying was a talisman master, Ye Qingqing also knew about his income. Buying this Detoxification Pill would definitely be a painful expense for him.

Originally...

It was all her own narrow-mindedness, underestimating the generosity of a gentleman.

Originally...

Young Master Ji had always remembered the peculiar poison in her body.

At this moment, Ye Qingqing couldn't hold back her tears anymore...

She cried silently.
