Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

On the way to the reception room, Qiu Yu lowered her head, her mood seeming somewhat heavy.

She never expected that Ji Boying would actually fail the assessment.

He is a three-star talisman master!

That Liu Keqing from before was only a second-grade alchemist, and he was able to pass the assessment. Why can't Mr. Ji?

Is the assessment for talisman masters really that difficult?

But now that she thinks about it, it seems that way. There are more than ten talisman masters in the commercial firm, and yesterday she heard that all of them failed the assessment, not a single one succeeded.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yu let out a sigh.

With Ji Boying failing the assessment, her days ahead are probably not going to be easy.

As their thoughts wandered, the two of them had already arrived at the reception room.

After pouring a cup of tea for Ji Boying, Qiu Yu sat down on the side, staring blankly at the teapot.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu seems to be in a bad mood," Ji Boying couldn't help but ask softly when he noticed Qiu Yu's distraction.

"Ah... no, nothing!"

Upon hearing Ji Boying's voice, Qiu Yu quickly snapped out of it. She glanced at Ji Boying and then got up to take out a Dust-Cleansing Talisman from the side, changing the subject.

"If Mr. Ji doesn't mind, let me use this Dust-Cleansing Talisman to clean the dirt off your body."

Ji Boying also noticed that he was indeed a bit dirty, so he nodded and agreed.

However...

Just as Qiu Yu was about to activate the Dust-Cleansing Talisman in her hand...

The steward token on Ji Boying's body suddenly emitted a faint light.

Qiu Yu looked apologetically at Ji Boying and then heard the voice of the shopkeeper Yun Qianshan coming from the token.

"Is Mr. Ji with you?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yu quickly replied, "Shopkeeper, Mr. Ji is currently in Reception Room 23 with me."

"Understood, have Mr. Ji wait for a moment, I'll come over immediately!"

Upon hearing Yun Qianshan's words, Qiu Yu couldn't help but feel a bit confused.

Why did the shopkeeper suddenly want to find Mr. Ji?

And from the tone, it seems quite urgent?

As her thoughts wandered, she heard a faint knocking sound coming from outside the reception room.

Before Qiu Yu could go and open the door, Yun Qianshan had already walked in quickly.

"Mr. Ji!"

Yun Qianshan walked up quickly, smiling brightly.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ji! Congratulations!"

Upon hearing Yun Qianshan's words, Ji Boying knew that the latter was arranged by Li Pu to handle the relevant procedures with him.

"The efficiency of Shopkeeper Yun is truly admirable. I just entered the reception room and Shopkeeper Yun has already arrived."

"For such a big matter, how can I, as the shopkeeper, not be concerned?"

Yun Qianshan said with a smile, then took out several contracts.

"Elder Li has already told me. Although Mr. Ji failed the assessment for the Yellow Grade Superior Guest Official this time, he will definitely pass in three months."

"These contracts are for Yellow Grade Guest Officials. As for the treatment, Mr. Ji will temporarily be treated as a Yellow Grade Intermediate Guest Official. After Mr. Ji passes the assessment in three months, the firm will directly upgrade him to a Superior Guest Official."

"Mr. Ji can take a look first. If there are no problems, you can sign the contracts directly!"

Ji Boying nodded slightly, took the contracts, and began to review them.

The content was not much different from the previous guest official contracts, except that the price for submitting talismans each month increased with the quantity.

In addition, some internal resources from the headquarters were also made available.

Purchasing internal resources from the headquarters was also very convenient, only requiring an additional payment of half the teleportation fee on top of the internal price.

If it's not a particularly precious resource, the general practice is to apply on the same day and receive it on the same day.

However, there is a limit to the number of applications, only once a month, and it becomes invalid if it expires.

With just a quick glance, Ji Boying happily wrote his name on it.

Seeing that Ji Boying had already signed, Yun Qianshan took out a golden token from his pocket that had a texture similar to mysterious iron.

"This is a new guest token issued by the headquarters. As long as you pass the level assessment, you can hold this token."

"As for its function, this new token is the same as before, but... the defensive formation inside has been upgraded. It can withstand a full blow from an early Nascent Soul stage powerhouse at a critical moment."

Ji Boying's eyes lit up.

It just so happened that the demonic cultivators would soon occupy Fulong City. With this token, he could feel more at ease.

There was also the Thunderous Talisman drawn today.

Although it was only a three-star inferior talisman, the power it released was comparable to the peak of the Gold Core stage!

If he could completely master this kind of talisman, even if he encountered a late Gold Core stage cultivator in the future, he might not necessarily lose in battle!

Of course...

Li Pu, a cultivator at the Gold Core stage, was an exception.

"Thank you, Manager Yun!" Ji Boying bowed to Yun Qianshan.

"Mr. Ji is too polite. These are all obtained by Mr. Ji's own abilities. I'm just helping with the procedures."

"Alright, the procedures have been completed. The headquarters still needs to file it, so I won't keep you company any longer!"

Yun Qianshan bowed to Ji Boying and then looked at Qiuyu with a smile.

"Qiuyu, Mr. Ji is now a middle-grade guest at the Yellow Rank. In three months, he will become a high-grade guest. This is your opportunity. You must seize it!"

After saying that, Yun Qianshan left the reception room directly.

After a while, Qiuyu slowly came back to his senses and looked at Ji Boying with an incredulous expression on his face.

"Mr. Ji, you... you passed the level assessment of the trading firm?"

"I only passed the level assessment of being a middle-grade guest at the Yellow Rank. As for the high-grade, I still have a long way to go with my current level."

"You truly deserve to be Mr. Ji!"

Qiuyu sincerely exclaimed and a captivating smile appeared on his face.

In that instant, even Ji Boying was slightly distracted.

It had to be said...

Qiuyu's smile was truly infectious.

Just a glance was enough to make people deeply immersed and unable to extricate themselves.

Ji Boying took a deep breath and quickly regained his composure. He then said to Qiuyu:

"Now that we're in the reception room, please help me choose a few symbol explanations, symbol scriptures suitable for a three-star talismanist, and seal techniques, Fellow Daoist Qiuyu."

Although Ji Boying's foundation was not bad, he realized during the process of drawing the Thunderous Talisman that he was still somewhat struggling with drawing three-star talismans.

Especially the last Thunderous Talisman, Ji Boying made a mistake not in the final touch, but in the spiritual lines on the entire talisman!

It was precisely because he didn't plan well from the beginning that he failed in the final touch.

Therefore, it was necessary to study more advanced symbol scriptures and seal techniques.

As for symbol explanations...

Although they didn't provide much help in improving one's talisman skills, they could broaden one's knowledge and open up one's thinking.

Especially for some obscure and niche talismans, if one was willing to study and understand their principles, it would be of great help in drawing other talismans.

Of course, there was one more thing. Ji Boying's knowledge of three-star talismans was not comprehensive.

For example, the Thunderous Talisman, if it wasn't derived from the Thunder Law Compendium, Ji Boying wouldn't even know that such a talisman existed.

If he drew the Thunderous Talisman this time, what if he drew an unfamiliar talisman in the next Profound Rank assessment? Wouldn't he have to wait another three months?

Although Ji Boying didn't fully understand Li Pu's words at a deeper level, he understood the literal meaning.

Time was running out for him, and he had to achieve a higher level within the limited time to show the trading firm his value!
