Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"Fellow Daoist Qi, what do you mean by this?!"

Jiang Munian's face immediately showed a hint of confusion upon hearing this.

Qi Yan smiled and said,

"During this time outside, I unexpectedly received some special information."

"Special information?"

Ji Boying and Jiang Munian both turned their gaze towards Qi Yan.

Qi Yan lightly sipped from his cup and then took out a token from his storage ring.

At the sight of this token, Ji Boying's eyes flickered.

The Demon Order?!

Qi Yan continued,

"This token is the identity token exclusive to the Demon Temple. It comes from an elder of the Chen family, a branch of the Wangyue family. However, that person is stubborn. Even though I used some methods, all I know is that there are already many people in Qiandao Lake who possess this Demon Order."

Jiang Munian murmured, somewhat puzzled,

"The demonic cultivators already hold the Demon Temple in high regard. Is it not normal for some of them to possess the Demon Order?"

Qi Yan shook his head slightly.

"If it were just that, there wouldn't be much to say. But what if every Gold Core and Nascent Soul family in Qiandao Lake had someone who possessed the Demon Order? And not only that, the people who possess the Demon Order are not from the main lineages of the families, but from the branches or even unrelated to the clans?"

"Do you think this is normal, Fellow Daoist Jiang?"

Jiang Munian fell into silence upon hearing this.

If only a few families had someone who possessed the Demon Order, or if only the patriarchs and high-ranking elders possessed it, then there wouldn't be much to say.

But now...

Those who possess the token are from the branches or even unrelated to the clans. This inevitably leads to more speculation!

Even Ji Boying's expression gradually became serious.

"What is the purpose of the Demon Temple's actions? Could it be... they want to completely control Qiandao Lake?"

Just as Jiang Munian spoke again,

Qi Yan smiled slightly and turned his gaze towards Ji Boying.

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Ji?"

"Me?"

Ji Boying was slightly startled, but without much thought, he analyzed honestly,

"I don't rule out the possibility mentioned by Fellow Daoist Jiang, but... Qiandao Lake is already the territory of the demonic cultivators. If the Demon Temple seizes Qiandao Lake from the demonic cultivators, what is their goal?"

"For the spiritual veins?"

Jiang Munian instinctively spoke.

"A mere middle-grade spiritual vein is not enough to make the Demon Temple fight amongst themselves."

Without hesitation, Ji Boying refuted Jiang Munian's speculation.

After a pause, he added,

"If the spiritual veins beneath Qiandao Lake are not middle-grade, but high-grade spiritual veins, even more than what Canglong Immortal City has, or if there are other great opportunities..."

"Then, it would explain why the Demon Temple is willing to fight amongst themselves to occupy Qiandao Lake."

"Not a middle-grade spiritual vein?"

Jiang Munian murmured, then seemed to realize something and quickly said,

"Our purpose in coming to Qiandao Lake this time is to destroy the spiritual vein beneath it, right? If it's just a middle-grade spiritual vein, why would our sects go to such great lengths?"

Upon hearing Jiang Munian's deduction, Qi Yan's eyes also flickered.

It seems that this is the only explanation that makes sense. Only then can everything be explained.

After a moment of hesitation, Qi Yan spoke softly:

"What is the purpose of the Tianmo Temple? Why does our sect want to destroy this middle-grade spiritual vein? We still don't know."

"We still have enough time. Fellow Daoist Jiang and I will spend another month investigating this matter."

"Furthermore... if the Tianmo Temple and the demons of Qiandao Lake are not on the same boat, then we still have a chance."

"As for Fellow Daoist Ji... for now, please stay at Xiaoyu Reef and focus on making talismans!"

"The demonic cultivators are powerful. Even if the Tianmo Temple and Qiandao Lake are at odds, the three of us still cannot hold the fort."

"Fellow Daoist Ji, please make a few more talismans to provide us with some extra protection."

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Ji?"

At this point, Qi Yan and Jiang Muyuan both turned their gaze back to Ji Boying.

"It's up to Master Qi's arrangement!"

Ji Boying responded respectfully.

Although he said that, Ji Boying also knew that Qi Yan said so just to avoid trouble.

After all...

Among the three of them, he had the lowest cultivation level and was only a Foundation Building cultivator. Bringing him along would be a burden, so it was better for him to stay and focus on making talismans.

Of course, Ji Boying was also happy with this arrangement.

At least, it was more comfortable than running around everywhere. During his free time, he could even go to Tingchao Pavilion to improve his attributes.

After the three of them finished discussing, Qi Yan and Jiang Muyuan left Xiaoyu Reef again.

As for Ji Boying...

He stayed alone in the cave, continuing to comprehend the annotations left by Su Ling and the Little Five Thunder Talisman Scripture.

"Worthless! Can't even keep up with a person!"

On Panshe Island in Qiandao Lake, Sun Qingchen leaned back in a chair, his face as calm as water.

In front of him, several black-clad individuals knelt tremblingly.

"Brother Sun, don't be angry."

Just then, a soft and gentle male voice sounded from the side.

A young man in a slightly sickly white robe spoke leisurely:

"I have some connections in Qiandao Lake. As long as that person has truly entered the territory of Qiandao Lake, I can help Brother Sun find him!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Qingchen's cold and gloomy face softened slightly.

He impatiently dismissed his subordinates and smiled at the young man:

"In that case... I'll have to trouble Brother Zhao!"

The young man in the white robe waved his hand, pretending to be angry: "Brother Sun and I have a close relationship. Brother Sun doesn't need to say these things to me."

Sun Qingchen laughed heartily and quickly apologized:

"I misunderstood Brother Zhao."

"With Brother Zhao's words, once the guardian formation of the main hall is set up, I will do my best to assist Brother Zhao in taking down the Zhao family in Lingkong!"

"Hahaha... With Brother Sun's words, I can rest assured!"

The young man in the floral robe also laughed heartily.

He clapped his hands.

Soon, several graceful and charming young women entered with wine and delicacies from outside the door.

"Forget about all this today. Brother Sun rarely comes to Qiandao Lake, so I must entertain you properly!"

"This wine is called Qianshan Dew, made from the dew on different islands of Qiandao Lake, brewed with various flower nectars."

"The taste is mellow and refreshing, smooth on the palate and fragrant."

"It is one of the three famous wines of Qiandao Lake!"

"Today, I have brought out all the pure brews in stock. Brother Sun and I will not leave until we are drunk!"
