Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

A group of four entered the inner city not long ago and found a restaurant to gather.

It was only at noon that they bid farewell to each other.

"Cloud Mansion..."

In the western region of the inner city...

Ji Boying brought Xiao Ninger to the front of a mansion.

The mansion was grand and magnificent, with a majestic and solemn gate. As for the three large characters on the plaque, they were written with silver hooks and iron paintings, with the strokes resembling dragons and snakes. At first glance, it gave a feeling of awe-inspiring and unfathomable depth.

The courtyard chosen by Ji Boying belonged to this mansion.

He took out his identity token and then held Xiao Ninger's hand, walking towards the gate.

Boom!

As soon as the two stepped into the mansion, a strong spiritual energy surged towards them like waves in the sea!

This feeling was like sitting in a speeding car, sticking one's head out of the window, and the rushing airflow made it difficult to breathe!

Compared to the previous Yuxia Mountain, the spiritual energy in the Cloud Mansion was much stronger!

After a slight adjustment, the two walked towards the main hall facing the gate.

There was only an old man sitting in the hall, and no one else.

Ji Boying handed his identity token to the old man.

Before the old man could speak, he asked first, "Is this guest token from a senior in the family or your own?"

"It's my own."

Ji Boying replied calmly.

"Your own?"

The old man raised his eyebrows, and his face visibly showed a bit more enthusiasm.

"There are not many courtyards left in the mansion, but there are still a few good locations. I wonder which one the young friend would like?"

As he spoke, the old man took out a map and pointed to several courtyards near the center.

Ji Boying just glanced at it and roughly made a decision in his mind.

"Thank you for your kindness, but..."

"I prefer this one."

As he spoke, he pointed to a secluded courtyard near the northwest corner.

Ji Boying didn't like to be ostentatious. If he lived in the center, it would inevitably attract attention from others.

Although the spiritual energy would be thinner near the corner, even the worst place in the Cloud Mansion was more abundant than the spiritual energy in Yuxia Mountain.

Moreover, even if it was worse than Yuxia Mountain, so what?

He relied on Goldfinger's enhancements, and spiritual energy was not necessary.

As for his wife Xiao Ninger...

Just the qi and yang elements in his body were enough for her to enjoy, not to mention the assistance of elixirs.

"This courtyard near the corner is far from the heart of the spiritual gathering formation. Are you sure you want to choose this one?"

"I'm sure."

Ji Boying nodded.

The steward glanced at Ji Boying a few more times, then nodded, and took out a piece of animal skin scroll, saying, "You just need to sign your name on it."

"As for the prohibition on the courtyard... Before entering the courtyard, you need to offer your identity token and then drop a drop of blood on the door lock. After that, you can come and go freely."

"The same goes for the wise couple."

"In addition... Although the young friend has obtained the qualification to settle in the courtyard, the rent for the courtyard cannot be omitted. The young friend is currently a lower-ranking guest, and can enjoy a 10% discount, only needing to pay 900 medium-grade spirit stones per month."

Ji Boying's eyelids twitched slightly.

900 medium-grade spirit stones?!

Damn it, a courtyard in Yuxia Mountain only costs an average of 10 medium-grade spirit stones.

Now that he has chosen the worst courtyard in the Cloud Mansion, it actually requires 900 medium-grade spirit stones!

Both are just renting a house, but this price has increased ninety times?!

If there were no discounts, wouldn't it be a hundred times more expensive?!

Fortunately, I didn't choose those in the middle, otherwise the monthly rent would be a large expense.

With this in mind, Ji Boying quickly paid six months' rent.

After receiving the rent, the old man smiled and continued, "If you want to renew the lease in the future, there is a formation in the main house of the courtyard. You just need to put the spirit stones into the formation, and there is no need to come here again."

"Of course... if you want to come here, you are always welcome."

"But... it's best not to owe rent. Once the rent is overdue for more than three days, the prohibition in the courtyard will be activated. If the rent is overdue for more than a month, you will permanently lose the qualification to stay!"

Hearing this, Ji Boying nodded and quickly bowed to the old man, saying, "Thank you for the reminder!"

---

For the next half month...

Apart from buying some daily necessities, Ji Boying hardly went out.

Every day, he would communicate with his wife about talisman techniques, draw talismans, and practice swordsmanship. If he had free time, he would also refine some elixirs for kidney nourishment.

Life was quite comfortable.

It seemed that whether or not he settled in the Fulong City as a demonic cultivator, it didn't seem to have much impact on him.

On this day.

After practicing swordsmanship, Ji Boying bid farewell to his wife and headed towards the Wandao Trading House.

Considering the time, today happened to be the day to submit talismans.

Since the last assessment, Ji Boying and his wife had collectively refined two hundred and sixty two-star high-grade talismans in the past month.

As for the three-star low-grade talismans, he only refined a dozen or so.

Ji Boying took out two hundred of the best quality two-star high-grade talismans to submit for the task.

As for the remaining talismans of slightly lower quality or the three-star talismans... he kept them for himself.

Ji Boying had also considered submitting the three-star talismans.

But... after careful consideration, he gave up.

Firstly, his spiritual core attribute had not yet reached the Gold Core level, and the success rate of refining three-star talismans was not high. If he handed them over to the Wandao Trading House, it would be equivalent to losing money.

Secondly, with his personal divine talisman, even if the quality of the three-star talismans he refined did not reach the level of exquisite, their power was still not to be underestimated. If he kept them, it would be an extra means of saving his life.

Of course, there was another reason.

A tree that stands out from the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and one who stands out from the crowd will be targeted!

Ji Boying's cultivation level was only at the sixth level of Qi Refinement. Refining two-star high-grade talismans already attracted a lot of attention. If he were to refine three-star talismans...

In the future, he would probably not have a peaceful life.

People's hearts are unpredictable...

Being too high-profile will ultimately attract jealousy from others.

There's a saying... it's harder to see others make money than to lose money yourself!

Ji Boying didn't want to attract too much envy.

As his thoughts wandered, Ji Boying had already arrived at the trading house.

As soon as he entered, he saw Qiuyu.

"Mr. Ji, you've come at just the right time. Yun, the shopkeeper, just asked me to contact you, and I didn't expect you to come already," Qiuyu warmly approached and said with a smile.

Ji Boying was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then asked, "I wonder why the shopkeeper called for me?"

Qiuyu shook her head and whispered, "The shopkeeper didn't say, so I don't know the specifics."

"But... the shopkeeper not only called for Mr. Ji, but also notified many guest officials who are currently in Fulong City."

"It should be something very important."

Ji Boying nodded upon hearing this.

After handing the prepared talismans to Qiuyu, he walked towards the top floor...
