Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Tan Shuchang had been cultivating for four years, on the fifteenth of September.

Today, I received a letter. The content was about a little girl who got lucky and won the recognition of an insignificant sword, so she specially came to show off to me.

Childish!

...

Tan Shuchang had been cultivating for four years, on the sixteenth of September.

Things that can't be changed shouldn't be dwelled upon too much, people who can't be kept should be tried to be let go, hearts that have been hurt should strive to heal themselves. Aside from life and death, everything else is trivial—don't be too hard on yourself.

And so, with returning to Black Heart Mountain and becoming emotional at the scene, I started to miss my mentor's lifelong collection and decided that I would not build a tomb for my mentor after all.

Lest one day, I kick it out of regret.

...

Tan Shuchang had been cultivating for four years, on the seventeenth of September.

I've been quite diligent in writing my diary lately; I'll stop writing for the next while, especially since I'm busy looking for clues to the spirit communication treasures.

Where did my mentor find the Chaotic Life Dharma Bead?

Why can't I encounter it?

...

Today is the twenty-ninth of September, the end of the month in a blink of an eye. Besides not finding any useful clues about the spirit communication treasures, Tan Shuchang also did not receive an invitation to the bizarre game.

This puzzled Tan Shuchang a lot.

After all, he was the City Lord of the Guarding Ghost City; to be such a significant City Lord and be ignored as if invisible—wasn't that a bit inappropriate?

Besides being fond of lining his own pockets and skimming from fierce ghosts, overall, he was still a qualified City Lord. Neglecting those below, fooling those above, no incidents mean peace in the world.

But unfortunately, the only official website for that bizarre game had no customer service, which made it impossible for Tan Shuchang to even consult a ghost about it.

Thus, Tan Shuchang gathered his thoughts and began to focus on the twelve locations mentioned by Senior Kuimu.

That is, the twelve locations where the bodies of martial demons with nine orifices are sealed.

Although these twelve locations should have some problems, they weren't a significant threat to the current Tan Shuchang. Tan Shuchang should have gone there earlier, but it was all because that little girl's letter had directly disturbed his Dao heart.

The Sword of the Heavens is recorded in the Demonic Cultivator Order as one of the top three spirit communication swords known for slaying; because the other two are in the hands of mythological characters who have probably existed but achieved the Three Proofs, thereby ending their own legends, this Sword of the Heavens has become the strongest slaying sword in Jiawu Realm.

It's just that the little girl's cultivation is a major weak point; otherwise, holding the Sword of the Heavens, she could chop down even those who have proven themselves to be immortals for you to see.

As for now... it's tough enough to chop down Tan Shuchang, let alone some cultivators who have practiced for nearly a hundred years.

"What exactly is this so-called martial demon?"

Tan Shuchang began to ponder.

First, after a demon cultivator refines the martial demon qi from these nine orifices martial demons, it can greatly enhance their strength. If they obtain enough martial demon qi, they can even physically withstand magic artifacts and ignore most superior magic artifacts.

Second, the martial demons summoned by these nine orifices martial demons require a blood sacrifice of a large number of powerful beings to wash off the dead qi from their bodies, thus being reborn and returning to the yang.

In other words, this so-called martial demon actually leans towards ghostly entities.

After all, apart from ghosts, Tan Shuchang does not know what else requires a blood sacrifice to be revived.

In the demonic path's technique of refining ghosts, there is a method to help fierce ghosts be reborn. First, you collect a substantial amount of yang qi and then continuously wash the ghost body, causing the ghost to start shedding its skin.

Each shedding takes half a Jiazi, and after nine sheddings, the ghost can not only be reborn but also achieve the cultivation of an immortal realm in one fell swoop.

Moreover, their strength will become incredibly formidable due to mastering the ways of yin and yang, and there will be few rivals of the same rank.

This technique of refining ghosts was seen as a joke in the current times, not something Tan Shuchang knew after becoming a demon cultivator but something he read in a book from the Tan family's collection.

The book was a travel journal written by a loose cultivator who enjoyed wandering. Although this loose cultivator was not very powerful, he made up for it with extensive connections. Because he was very good at the art of managing and had enough money, many places that ordinary cultivators couldn't go to, people were willing to take him.

The Zi Xuan Dynasty has a household registration system. Without a travel pass, many people cannot move beyond a single city's boundaries. As for cultivators, those with less than thirty years of cultivation need a travel pass too, for aside from sword cultivators, they cannot yet fly.

That's also why, except when they know they're going to fight with others or might be ambushed, cultivators mostly choose not to carry magic artifacts when they leave home.

After all, if you're just turning around near your own territory, isn't having a magic artifact more of a hassle?

Furthermore, sleeve arts like the "Sleeve Art" have different levels. The superior "Sleeve Art" can carry a large number of items. Like Tan Shuchang can manage with his left and right sleeves, due to his profound cultivation, each can carry several thousand jins of weight.

However, despite such substantial carrying capacity, sometimes a single "mountain"-shaped magic artifact can weigh several thousand jins.

Don't think that just because a magic artifact looks small and light, it doesn't weigh much!

Moreover, the lower the grade of a magic artifact, the less likely it is to be light and versatile in size. Thus, lower-ranked magic artifacts usually weigh hundreds of jins.

"The only thing I can be sure of right now is that this thing has a strong physical strength..."

Tan Shuchang's gaze flickered slightly. After all, the cultivators of Jiawu Realm named it such for a reason, and if it relates to martial abilities, it must possess a good physique.
