Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 13: 13. A place where humans and ghosts coexist

Although he had refined another fierce ghost and was a step closer to the first time of the "Commencement of Refining Spirits," Tan Shuchang still inevitably felt some gloom.

"Who knew that in that eerie game instance, there would be another fierce ghost!"

Moreover, the one he captured, though it could also be considered a fierce ghost, was overall quite inferior to the other two female ghosts.

This should be the game providing players who become fierce ghosts after sacrifice with a boost, but this enhancement was limited due to the player’s weak strength in life.

"In the future, when encountering fierce ghosts, I must observe before acting, and not just react impulsively..." thus, Tan Shuchang made such a decision.

There might be more than one fierce ghost in that eerie game’s instance.

For Tan Shuchang, this was undoubtedly good news. Because entering once could yield double the cultivation resources.

Then, Tan Shuchang pondered another matter.

His current player level in the eerie game was Ding Six. After participating in the third eerie game instance, he naturally leveled up again.

Starting from nine with one being the highest, this was somewhat similar to the imperial court’s official rank system.

Originally, Tan Shuchang had thought that leveling up was just that, but after this level-up, he discovered he could summon his player stat frame at any time.

He didn’t even need to specifically summon it, just thinking about the eerie game in his mind would make the player stat frame appear.

It had flashed beneath his eyelids several times just now.

Player: Tan Shuchang.

Rank: Ding Six.

Malicious Resistance: Jia One.

Contamination Resistance: Jia One.

Destruction Resistance: Jia One.

Supernatural Resistance: Jia One.

And this so-called third-person perspective was actually letting him temporarily "possess" a cluster of shadow. This "shadow" did not hinder his actions, and through it, Tan Shuchang could clearly see everything around him.

He was now in a busy yet silent marketplace.

The reason for describing it with such contradictory terms is that there were many people walking around the market, all dressed in black robes, wearing strange masks.

Yet, regardless of what they were doing, they never spoke a word.

Thus, the only sounds one could hear were those of items being placed at stalls, collisions, and the footsteps of people moving about.

So, Tan Shuchang tried to speak out.

After all, he was in third-person view mode, not physically present, so he could be bold.

But as soon as he spoke, he realized he could talk, but his voice didn’t carry. It was either incapable of escaping or unable to reach this place, obviously because his true body wasn’t there.

Having confirmed this, Tan Shuchang naturally felt even more at ease with this third-person perspective.

So he walked directly into a nearby shop.

This shop was one of the few in this market, and besides this one, Tan Shuchang could only see three others, all a distance away from him.

From the outside, the shop didn’t reveal much, but upon entering, he saw a symbol standing front and center.

It was carved from stone, shaped like a skull crossed with a sword and knife.

Behind this symbol, there were several counters.

There were numerous figures bustling around these counters, especially behind them where the shadows were dense.

Tan Shuchang was about to enter when suddenly, a figure flickered before him, blocking his path, "This is a place where ghost techniques are sold. If you wish to enter, you must come in your true body."

The voice was dry and chilling, like that of a dried corpse speaking.

Tan Shuchang glanced at the figure. Though the figure wore a mask, it was clear that there was living flesh beneath it.

With that, Tan Shuchang turned around and left.

As he did so, the figures that had been hovering near the counter in the store suddenly froze.
