Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Crack!

Snap!

The sound of dry wood burning and breaking kept coming.

Even though it was winter, there was a continuous wave of heat rushing towards them, distorting and warping the air in the distance...

"Success!"

Ji Boying tightly clenched his fist.

As he looked at the giant pit beneath him, his deep eyes were filled with undisguised excitement.

"With my current soul, I can use the simplified version of the Nine Thunder Talisman Integrated Union Divine Ability three times."

"If I use lower-level two-star talismans, or even one-star talismans, I can use Integrated Union even more!"

Ji Boying took a deep breath and collected all the unused talisman paper into his storage ring.

"After breaking through to the peak level of the Extreme Quality stage, I will shift my focus back to my soul."

"If I can become the first on the Huiyue Ranking, or even like Su Ling and Li Pu, ascend to the Yao Ri Ranking, will the headquarters grant me special privileges?"

"Ten years!"

"It's worth a try!"

---

Another half month passed.

As the settlement date for the rankings approached, the rankings on the Yao Ri Ranking and Huiyue Ranking gradually stabilized.

Of course...

There was still the possibility of a dark horse making a stunning appearance on the last day.

After all, there were many geniuses in the major main halls, especially in the Sword Forest and Xuan Yin main halls.

In the main hall of the Central Headquarters Affairs Hall.

The three rankings were dazzling.

Members from the major main halls gathered here to watch.

Even if they themselves didn't make it onto the rankings, seeing their fellow hall members on the rankings was still a cause for celebration.

Of course...

Except for the Sword Forest Hall and the Thunder Hall.

The former had too many ranking geniuses, so it was expected for them to be on the rankings, just at a normal level.

As for the latter...

Ahem... Including Ji Boying, there were only three people, and it was really hard to watch.

"Oh! Isn't this Su Xiao, Brother Su! Long time no see!"

Today, Su Xiao happened to be here in the Affairs Hall to handle the handover procedures for completing a mission.

He originally wanted to wait until after the settlement date of the rankings to handle the procedures.

After all, by that time, the hype around the rankings would have died down, and even if he met acquaintances, it would just be a simple greeting before going about their own business.

However...

Because the settlement date of the rankings was approaching and all members' contributions needed to be settled and the rankings updated in real-time, completed missions had to fully hand over the procedures.

Helplessly, Su Xiao could only come over with a stiff upper lip.

He had originally planned to quietly handle the procedures and leave quickly, but unexpectedly, he ran into an acquaintance as soon as he entered.

"It turns out to be Brother Chen!"

Su Xiao awkwardly greeted the middle-aged cultivator in front of him.

"Hahaha! Brother Su, are you here to check the rankings too?"

"Ah, well..."

Before Su Xiao could speak, the middle-aged cultivator continued:

"I heard that the Thunder Hall recently recruited a talisman genius. In his first qualification assessment at the Wan Dao Pavilion, he achieved an excellent ranking of 36th on the Huiyue Ranking. Even the personal disciples of the Fufeng Hall Master and the Qishan Hall Master are far behind!"

"By the way, what's the name of that talisman master? Today is the settlement date for the rankings, so let me have a good look at the name of this genius in your Thunder Hall!"

"Well..."

Su Xiao glanced at the Huiyue Ranking and saw that Ji Boying's ranking had now fallen to over 40th place.

And...

From the looks of it, there seemed to be a downward trend.

It was possible that he couldn't even hold onto the top 50.

As for Tong Feier and Mo Changgong, they had already entered the top 20.

Just as Su Xiao was about to come up with an excuse to brush it off, two more familiar faces walked over, members of the Fufeng Hall!

"Brother Su! Congratulations! I heard that your Tianlei Hall has recruited a talented talisman master who is even more powerful than our hall master's direct disciple. It's truly rare!"

"By the way, what's the name of that talented talisman master?"

"Ji Boying!"

"Oh, right! Ji Boying! That's the extraordinary genius who ranked 36th on the Huimoon List in his first participation in the Wandao Pavilion! Now that the ranking deadline is approaching, his ranking should have improved, right?"

"Definitely! Our Mofu Master's ranking has already reached 19th place. This Ji Boying should be in the top twenty, right? Let me see which place he ranks..."

Su Xiao looked at the two people from the Fufeng Hall, who were talking to each other, without saying a word, and didn't want to say anything.

He glanced at the 47th place on the ranking and clenched his fist in his sleeve.

If it weren't for Su Ling's sudden mission, how could Ji Boying, the talisman master, end up like this?!

Forget it, it's not possible this year, let's wait until next year.

Ji Boying's talent in talisman Dao is evident to all. As long as someone guides him, his rise is only a matter of time.

---

At that time.

Branch headquarters, back mountain...

Ji Boying sat cross-legged on a cushion, looking at the formation disk in front of him. Under the flickering candlelight, it seemed as if there were galaxies surging in his eyes.

"The last chance!"

"This time, I will definitely break through the sixth level."

"I just don't know what my ranking will be after breaking through the sixth level..."

He glanced at the 16th place on the silver ranking at the moment, and the image of the girl on the Bai Ri Square that day involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"I was above you before."

"This time... I should be able to do it too!"

Ji Boying chuckled lightly, and then activated the formation disk.

As the space twisted.

The room, which was originally lit by dim candlelight, once again turned into an endless desert.

"The sixth level assessment begins!"

"The content of this level's assessment..."

A voice like rolling thunder resounded in this heaven and earth.

Immediately after, a circle of spiritual light shields appeared outside the platform.

Ji Boying didn't hesitate at all. He picked up the talisman pen on the white stone table and started making talismans directly.

He started with the Fire Yang Thunder Derivation Talisman.

Due to practicing every day during this period, Ji Boying's technique became more and more proficient, reaching the level of muscle memory.

If it weren't for technical and spiritual restrictions, he even wanted to do more.

An hour quickly passed...

Two Fire Yang Thunder Derivation Talismans were completed.

Luck was good, both of them were top-quality.

Ji Boying put the finished talismans aside and took out the third piece of talisman paper. Without any hesitation, he started to draw.

However...

This time, he didn't draw the Fire Yang Thunder Talisman like before, but instead simplified it into a smaller version of the Five Thunder Talisman.

The reason for not choosing a two-star or one-star talisman was simple.

First, he had more than enough time to draw thirty or forty simplified versions of the Five Thunder Talisman.

Second, although the simplified version of the Five Thunder Talisman was simple, with only a few strokes, its power was comparable to a three-star lower-grade attack talisman.

Compared to a two-star upper-grade talisman, it had a bit more power.

Like this...

Two hours quickly passed.

Ji Boying finally completed two top-quality talismans and one superb Fire Yang Thunder Derivation Talisman.

As for the remaining simplified versions of the Five Thunder Talisman, he drew thirty of them.

As the spiritual light shield shattered just like before.

Ji Boying immediately threw out one top-quality Fire Yang Thunder Derivation Talisman and nine simplified versions of the Five Thunder Talisman.

Under the convergence of ten talismans.

The ten talismans swiftly revolved and eventually turned into a red-purple light wheel that soared into the sky, then suddenly fell.

Terrifying flames and endless purple lightning poured out.

In an instant, it enveloped an area of three hundred and forty zhang around him!

Under the erosion of flames and purple lightning, the black scorpions instantly turned into charred remains, and then disappeared into ashes!
