Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

"It hasn't truly descended, but I just encountered the incarnations of two ancestral masters. For this, I even specifically wrote a diary entry. Would you like to see it?" Tan Shuchang asked with a smile, yet there was a deep meaning in his eyes as he spoke.

"Reading someone's diary, that's not very nice, I never read other people's diaries! And having you bring your diary over, that would be so embarrassing! Just tell me about it directly," Dongdong immediately denied thrice, her tone exceedingly firm.

Sneaking a peek at someone's diary was something only her mother's good brother would do!

After all, the uninteresting and boring spirit-talking treasure was not hers!

"I see, then I'll just tell you. These two originally wanted to kill me to take the Chaotic Life Dharma Bead that I had obtained. However, seeing that my cultivation level had reached eight hundred years, almost at the level of an Immortal, they had to change their mind when they incarnated here.

They made an agreement with me and promised that once things were accomplished, they would help me ascend," Tan Shuchang explained briefly.

"You're going to ascend?" Upon hearing this, the young girl immediately tensed.

"I must adhere to the agreement, but only after its fulfillment," Tan Shuchang said with a smile, highlighting the critical point.

"So you're not planning to adhere to it?" Dongdong immediately caught the drift of Tan Shuchang's insinuations, considering the two had known each other since one was fifteen and the other ten, it wasn't too much to say they were childhood friends.

"How can I allow others to snore beside my couch? Placing one's hopes on others is the most foolish act. Moreover, the reason I'm warning you about these ancestral masters is that I have a vague feeling that there's something quite off about them," Tan Shuchang said.

"What's off about them?" The young girl couldn't help but be curious.

"I can't put my finger on it, just a sudden premonition. It's like when I first met my mentor; he looked kind, yet I had a premonition he was not a good person, and it turned out to be true," Tan Shuchang thought for a moment and gave a perfectly fitting example.

"I remember, isn't it almost a year since the Heartless Old Man died? Just let him be, if not, maybe occasionally whip his corpse…" Dongdong couldn't help but make a comment. Was there a need to hold such a grudge?

She also returned to the Heavenly Sword Mansion, only then did she learn about the Heartless Old Man's method of cultivation, and why his disciple had mysteriously disappeared. She had just swayed an elder to take Tan Shuchang away from Black Heart Mountain when she heard the news about this demon cultivator killing his master.

"My mentor hasn't died; he has now become a fire spirit and is helping me refine some items." Tan Shuchang said somewhat regrettably. He was not skilled in Artifact Refining, nor did he much need a magic artifact. Though he needed spirit-talking treasures, he couldn't refine them at all, so he had to give up.

Hearing the thick tone of regret, Dongdong immediately knew that the demon cultivator was regretting the limited use of this fire spirit.

This truly was not letting go even in death!

However, the Heartless Old Man had it coming. She had seen this evil demon before; he wore a benevolent smile at her and even bore a trace of respect. At the time, she even thought this evil demon wasn't bad at all.

"Actually, the fire spirit can become a proof. You could encapsulate it and nurture it into an incarnation. Oh, the Heavenly Sword Mansion's treasury seems to have such a method, shall I find it and read it to you?"

"Is it a technique created by the predecessors of Heavenly Sword Mansion?" Tan Shuchang was surprised, not expecting that the predecessors of the Heavenly Sword Mansion also had gotten a fire spirit before.

That thing was extremely rare; saying it appears once in a thousand years is no exaggeration.

"Not really, it was found unexpectedly in an ancient cave dwelling by a predecessor. It's called 'Understanding Other-Self Freedom Scripture has gained an insight, obtained a secret technique.' This technique is mysterious. Up to now, no one has been able to comprehend this technique.

It's only known that this technique can nurture things like the fire spirit into one's own incarnation," Dongdong said, then fell silent for a moment before her voice appeared again, reading the 'Understanding Other-Self Freedom Scripture has gained an insight, obtained a secret technique' to Tan Shuchang across the distance.

As the young girl began to read, Tan Shuchang unexpectedly found that his unique aspect was becoming active.

Although it wasn't as intense as when he first encountered the 'Cross Calamity Immortal Scripture,' it still surprised Tan Shuchang.

Up to now, in terms of cultivation techniques, the only thing that had responded to his uniqueness was the 'Cross Calamity Immortal Scripture.' It was a pity that it wasn't a complete technique, but merely a Divine Secret Skill deduced by someone else.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Thus, Tan Shuchang noted down the name 'Other-Self Freedom Scripture.'

Then Tan Shuchang wasn't in a rush to practice this Divine Secret Skill but asked the young girl if her family had similar techniques like 'Understanding Other-Self Freedom Scripture has gained an insight, obtained a secret technique.'

"I can exchange it for malevolent spirits," Tan Shuchang gave a price. Heavenly Sword Mansion undoubtedly didn't need the great profound seal, although they would likely agree to his proposal, it would obviously make him look cheap. As for spirit-talking artifacts, Heavenly Sword Mansion also lacked none, especially since he mostly couldn't use them or they were somewhat problematic.

So, after some thought, Tan Shuchang decided to offer malevolent spirits, letting Heavenly Sword Mansion conduct a trade with the Land of Yin and Darkness.

Upon hearing it was malevolent spirits, the young girl was surprised but soon appeared very happy since malevolent spirits could exchange many good things with the Land of Yin and Darkness.

Immediately, Dongdong and Tan Shuchang settled on a trade method of five similar Miraculous Power Techniques in exchange for a malevolent spirit.

Malevolent spirits in the Jiawu Realm were highly sought after.

Regrettably, despite searching through the entire storeroom of Heavenly Sword Mansion, the girl had not found the Miraculous Power Technique that had previously evoked such a reaction from Tan Shuchang.

Nevertheless, Tan Shuchang had fulfilled his promise and provided the agreed full amount of malevolent spirits.

There were just four in total.

The girl had searched through the storeroom of Heavenly Sword Mansion all night and had found only eighteen similar miraculous power techniques, three of which were classified as top-tier demon cultivation scriptures.

The four malevolent spirits that Tan Shuchang provided were arrived at by rounding off the numbers. Before he handed them over, he had specifically refined the spirits, as at this stage, the spirits began to resemble the living and were capable of normal communication.

He did not mind things from the eerie gaming world approaching him in the Jiawu Realm, but he was concerned about those from the Jiawu Realm finding their way to the eerie gaming world.

Monopoly was the most profitable, and he could set up a crude and simple economic system in the eerie gaming world using a few Inch Jade Efficacy Pills.

He depended on the fact that the Inch Jade Efficacy Pills were unique to him.

If people from the Jiawu Realm went there and the eerie gaming world allowed them a passage, then everything Tan Shuchang currently enjoyed could be lost.

After all, the number of malevolent spirits from the Snake Desire Realm was limited. To continuously generate Yin Gods, it required players to help him capture the malevolent spirits.

As for that dark area, restricted by the greed of the governing entity, Tan Shuchang could no longer go there.

Otherwise, it would lead to chaos in his own governing entity.

Then, having been busy all night, the person known as Tan Someone began to write in his diary. His diary magic artifact was not yet full, so to ensure a better effect once it was disseminated, he decided to start writing daily from then on.

...

Tan Shuchang had been cultivating for four years, on December 15th.

Thinking about it, I have progressed to such an extent in cultivation that looking across the world, I almost have no equal. Why has no power used a beauty trap on me yet?

I suppose if a beautiful lady, with a charming smile, said to me, "How come you're still just as naive as before?" I would probably be somewhat moved?

After all, I am only in my early twenties.

...

This is what Tan Shuchang fabricated when he had nothing else to write about.

A fake beauty trap is when a beautiful woman appeases you.

A real beauty trap makes you feel she is the irreplaceable treasure of your life.

And such a beauty trap, starting from youthful memories, is undoubtedly a very good entry point. Youth never returns, and the things unattainable during youth, as the years pass, continue to accumulate filters.

...

While Tan Shuchang was writing his diary, the girl who had been busy all night and had caught four malevolent spirits, now almost foolishly cheerful, suddenly widened her eyes.

"That demon cultivator acquired the Chaotic Life Dharma Bead?"

She had just come to realize this.

However, Dongdong was not astonished that Tan Shuchang could obtain a spirit-communicating treasure, but rather, she was stunned that this spirit-communicating treasure was actually the Chaotic Life Dharma Bead.

So, this demon's killing of his master was originally an act of supreme filial piety?

The girl began to seriously contemplate dedicating herself to demon cultivation.
