Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"Sun, what are you doing..."

Ji Boying stepped forward.

Upon hearing the voice, Sun Youfu saw that it was Ji Boying and let out a sigh, expressing helplessness.

"The family... has completely given up on the industry inside Fulong City."

Sun Youfu's voice was not loud, but it hit Ji Boying's ears like a bolt from the blue, leaving his mind blank.

"Mr. Ji... I... I'm sorry!"

Sun Youfu deeply bowed to Ji Boying, his face not only haggard but also filled with guilt.

Ji Boying snapped back to reality and quickly helped Sun Youfu up.

Although he was momentarily at a loss, Ji Boying managed to force a smile and comforted him.

"It's alright."

"Sun, you have done enough."

Speaking of which, it seemed that Ji Boying thought of something and immediately asked,

"I wonder, what are your plans now, Sun?"

Sun Youfu shook his head, his face filled with confusion.

"I don't know either."

"Miss has not been in touch since she returned home this time, and if nothing unexpected happened... she should have been confined."

"Otherwise, given Miss's character, she would never ignore such a major change in the family."

Ji Boying understood as soon as he heard this.

When Sun Qingruo returned to the family this time, she had not returned for two months, which was indeed unusual.

Moreover, with Sun Qingruo's character and personality, she would never leave without saying anything.

If she was confined, then everything would make sense.

Ji Boying hesitated for a moment and asked again,

"Have you ever thought about leaving Fulong City, Sun?"

"Leave Fulong City?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Youfu shook his head slightly.

"I am just an alchemist, with no other skills, and my cultivation is only at the ninth level of Qi Refinement."

"If I leave Fulong City, I'm afraid even survival would be difficult!"

"Furthermore..."

Sun Youfu paused and continued,

"Nowadays, the righteous sects are weak, and the demonic cultivators are rampant. It's not just Fulong City, but I'm afraid all the main cities in Dongcang Xuanzhou will soon be infiltrated by demonic cultivators."

"However, because of the Soul Formation ruins, those demonic cultivators won't take action for the time being, but instead gather towards Fulong City."

"If I leave Fulong City, how many peaceful years can I have? It's better to stay here. Maybe the family won't give up on this piece of fat and will pick it up again."

Ji Boying let out a sigh upon hearing this.

Sun Youfu was right.

As a Qi Refinement cultivator, he was ultimately at the bottom of this world, without any skills, and survival was even more difficult.

If there was some protection, it would be fine. Even without protection, staying in the city with familiar faces could provide some warmth.

But if he were to change his environment...

It would be difficult to survive in an unfamiliar place.

As for Ji Boying...

With his imminent breakthrough to the Golden Body Realm and his proficiency in alchemy and talisman techniques, even if he left, it wouldn't have much impact. It would just mean not having the same nourishment as Fulong City.

However, there was one thing that needed to be guarded against.

After the Soul Formation ruins, the demonic cultivators no longer coveted Fulong City, but the broader Dongcang Xuanzhou!

In the past, the righteous sects were in power and suppressed the demonic path for many years.

Now that the latter had risen, with new grievances added to old ones, it was likely to rebound even more fiercely.

The two stood at the door for a while, until all the decorations outside were removed. Ji Boying let out a long sigh and said to Sun Youfu,

"Brother Sun."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will be leaving Fulong City in a while, my brother."

Sun Youfu's hand, hidden in his sleeve, trembled slightly upon hearing this.

After a while, he patted Ji Boying's shoulder and smiled, saying, "Leaving is good, leaving is good!"

"Fulong City is not peaceful now, with all sorts of people mixed in the city. It will only become more chaotic when those demonic cultivators settle in."

"It's a good thing to be able to leave."

"When does Brother Ji plan to leave? I'll prepare and send you off at the Drunken Immortal Tower!"

Ji Boying also smiled a little when he heard this.

The address of "Brother Sun" was even more appropriate.

"It should be in the next few days. Before I depart, I will inform Brother Sun!"

"After all... in the vast Fulong City, I only have Brother Sun as my brother."

"Hahaha... to be able to call Ji Boying my brother in this lifetime, I, Sun Youfu, am truly fortunate!"

---

After chatting for a while, when Sun Youfu settled the monthly accounts, Ji Boying left the Lingdan Pavilion and headed to the Wandao Trading Company.

This time, he not only came to exchange tokens.

He also needed to inform them in advance that he would be leaving Fulong City and terminate the contract with the Wandao Trading Company.

Otherwise, if he left and the contract remained, unnecessary misunderstandings could arise.

"Is this Mr. Ji's first time coming to the trading company during the day?"

In the reception room, Qiu Yu brewed a cup of spiritual tea for Ji Boying and jokingly said with a smile.

Ji Boying shook his head.

"There were some unexpected events. Otherwise... it would be the same as usual, coming around the Rooster Hour."

Qiu Yu's eyes flickered upon hearing this, but she didn't ask further. Instead, she pinched the talisman Ji Boying handed over and asked with a smile, "The price of talismans has skyrocketed with the arrival of demonic cultivators. Why are there fewer talismans made by Mr. Ji?"

"Could it be... Mr. Ji is not interested in spirit stones?"

"Who would have a problem with spirit stones."

Ji Boying smiled bitterly and continued, "To be honest, with the arrival of demonic cultivators, the place where I live happens to be in their territory. If they settle in, with my limited cultivation, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect myself."

"So... I plan to leave Fulong City soon and find another place."

"This time coming to the Wandao Trading Company, one reason is to exchange tokens, and the other... is to terminate our cooperation to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Mr. Ji wants to leave Fulong City?"

Upon hearing Ji Boying's words, Qiu Yu's eyes flickered and she quickly said, "It's true that demonic cultivators will settle in Fulong City, but if they can enter the territory of the righteous sects, even if those demonic cultivators become more unruly, they won't set foot there. Moreover, even if Mr. Ji needs to pass through the territory where the demonic cultivators are, as long as you don't cause too much trouble, you won't bring disaster upon yourself."

On this point, Mr. Ji can rest assured."

"And also..."

"Even if Mr. Ji leaves Fulong City now, it's just a temporary measure."

"When the Soul Formation ruins are completely opened, those demonic cultivators will infiltrate every corner of Dongcang Xuanzhou!"

"At the current rate, it may not take three years for the Soul Formation ruins to be completely opened!"

Ji Boying shook his head, his intention unchanged.

"If I can enter the territory where the righteous cultivators are, why would I be in this situation?"

"I come from a humble background and have no support. Even if I have the intention, I don't have the qualifications to settle in the territory of the righteous sects."

"If I continue to stay there when the demonic cultivators settle in, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect myself."

Looking at Ji Boying's regretful appearance, a slight curve appeared at the corner of Qiu Yu's mouth.

It's time...

To close the net!
