Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"Master, the family has agreed to the proposal from the south of the city!"

In a dimly lit crimson room, flickering candlelight danced.

A gentle breeze swept through, causing the gauzy curtains to flutter.

"Is that so..."

By the window, Sun Qingchen tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"What was the name of that alchemist again? Ji..."

"Ji Boying!"

The woman reminded him softly.

"Ji Boying..."

"If it weren't for him... my cousin would probably have been expelled from Fulong City by now."

Sun Qingchen chuckled lightly, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Master, do you need me..."

"No need to personally intervene, to avoid leaving any traces and giving others leverage."

"Tomorrow, have Mo Lao leave the city and go to the second floor of the Yuxia Mountain's main building. Tell the owner there that it's time to repay the favor owed to me."

"Yes!"

The woman responded softly, preparing to leave.

But then, a voice came from behind once again.

"Did I tell you to leave?"

Upon hearing this, the woman paused in her footsteps.

She quickly turned around and knelt on the ground, speaking softly:

"Please forgive me, Master!"

"How can you make amends?"

Sun Qingchen toyed with the teacup in his hand, his smile ambiguous.

Upon hearing this, the woman's delicate body trembled slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she got down on her knees and slowly moved towards the window.

Until...

She was completely in front of Sun Qingchen, she lowered her head and said softly:

"As long as Master can forgive me, how to punish me is entirely up to Master's discretion!"

"Hehe..."

Sun Qingchen lifted the woman's chin with one hand, looking at her with a teasing expression as she dared not speak her mind.

"You are clever, but... compared to your sister Qingyan, you still have a long way to go."

"I have already tasted the disciples of the Endless Pleasure Sect, but I wonder... what it feels like to have a disciple of the righteous and prestigious Chiyan Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the woman's pupils contracted, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Sun Qingchen sneered, his palm slowly caressing the woman's cheek...

"Compared to your obedient sister, I actually prefer your aloofness."

"You disciples of the Chiyan Sect have always considered yourselves superior, even looking down on aristocratic families."

"But so what?"

Sun Qingchen grabbed the woman's hair and forcefully pulled her towards him, his voice filled with malice:

"You, a disciple of the Chiyan Sect, personally taught by an elder, a Foundation Building cultivator, aren't you still kneeling before me like a bitch?"

As his words fell, Sun Qingchen's spiritual power suddenly surged. In the next moment, the woman's clothes shattered into pieces, scattering throughout the room.

He pulled the woman's hair and forcefully pressed her down beneath him...

In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.

After this period of study, Xiaoning'er had completely mastered the "Nourishing Technique" and the "Dragon Binding Art."

The "Nourishing Technique" was a cultivation method primarily used to regulate the circulation of one's spiritual power during dual cultivation and to refine the Yang element.

As for the "Dragon Binding Art," it was a divine ability used in combat to capture and defeat opponents.

With the combination of these two, Xiaoning'er excelled in her exchanges with Ji Boying in the field of talisman dao, achieving victory effortlessly.

Especially the "Dragon Binding Art," Xiaoning'er had already cultivated it to the fourth level.

"The Technique of Binding the Dragon" has a total of nine levels, namely: Lock, Trap, Seal, Imprison, Prohibit, Close, Shut, Surround, and Strangle!

Xiao Ning'er has already reached the fourth level!

Using the techniques of the fourth level alternately, even Ji Boying, whose body cultivation is comparable to that of a Foundation Building cultivator, was defeated by Xiao Ning'er.

In the past, Ji Boying, who had fought nine times without feeling tired, was disarmed by Xiao Ning'er after only seven exchanges.

However...

Since practicing the "Nourishing Technique" and the "Technique of Binding the Dragon," Ji Boying has been able to gain 105 experience points from each exchange, and with the breakthrough of 100,000 experience points, he can now gain 13 points of free attributes from each exchange.

It's not a big problem to have two fewer exchanges each night, as it allows him to focus on making talismans and practicing swordsmanship.

It is worth mentioning that after the nightly exchange of talisman techniques between Ji Boying and Xiao Ning'er, his talisman experience has surpassed his alchemy experience, reaching the mid-grade level of the second star.

In addition, his alchemy experience has accumulated to more than 8600 points, not far from reaching the 10,000 mark.

He can break through in at most a month.

As for Xiao Ning'er, after this period of gathering yang energy and nourishing with pills, all the hidden illnesses in her body have been completely eliminated.

Her cultivation has also advanced from the second level of Qi Refining to the fourth level, thanks to the effect of the pills.

However, due to insufficient spiritual power, Xiao Ning'er's talisman cultivation is still at the high-grade level of the first star.

Early morning...

As the sky gradually brightened, Ji Boying put down the wooden sword he had made and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He opened his virtual panel...

[Name: Ji Boying]

[Cultivation: Fifth level of Qi Refining]

[Constitution (Fire): 3000 (Low-grade)]

[Spiritual Soul: 9000]

[Physical Body: 10,000 (Mid-stage of Body Tempering, Poisoned)]

[Sword Dao: 12,000 (Mid-stage of Gang Realm)]

[Talisman Dao: 11,910 (Mid-grade of the Second Star)]

[Alchemy Dao: 8619 (Low-grade of the Second Star)]

[Available Attribute Points: 548]

"It's a pity... No matter how I cultivate this sword technique, my sword experience remains unchanged."

"Except for gaining sword experience from fighting that witch, neither cultivating the sword technique nor practicing sword moves can increase my experience..."

"But why can I gain extra experience from making talismans and refining pills?"

Ji Boying sat cross-legged on the steps, staring blankly at the virtual panel in front of him.

After a while, until the east turned white, Ji Boying slowly stood up.

"Forget it... If it doesn't increase, then it doesn't increase!"

"By comprehending the sword technique and practicing swordsmanship, even without experience, it deepens my understanding of the sword. I wonder... with my current strength, do I have the power to fight against a mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator?"

The illusion technique used by Qing Yan earlier made Ji Boying lose some confidence.

He still had lingering fears.

As a warrior who had fought countless battles, teetering on the edge of life and death, Ji Boying's combat experience was far from comparable.

Ji Boying's current level of sword cultivation was ultimately just a shell, and the sword technique and swordsmanship he learned were only theoretical...

No matter how powerful the theory was, it didn't necessarily translate into actual combat.

To become a true swordsman, one must experience life-and-death battles!

After a short rest, Ji Boying wiped off the sweat from his body, changed into clean clothes, bid farewell to Xiao Ning'er, and left the courtyard.

As usual, after descending the mountain, Ji Boying headed straight to Jichun Hall.

However...

When he approached Jichun Hall, he always felt like someone was watching him.

Ji Boying glanced at the people coming and going, but didn't find anything unusual, so he entered Jichun Hall directly.

Today was the last day of settlement.

Including this month's share, after deducting previous expenses, Ji Boying had nearly 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

These spirit stones...

Should be enough to buy a top-grade detoxification pill!
