Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 299: 180. Demon Cultivators must be adept at cutting losses in a timely manner.

Tan Shuchang cultivated for seven years; in the mountains, time flowed without heed, and he gradually forgot what year it was.

Today, he met a cultivator with a significant background, surely a direct descendant of a great clan, a person born of Rome, truly enviable.

However, we had a conflict.

Fortunately, I killed him in time, so I didn’t find out his identity, and it can be considered damage control.

It’s just that I don’t know, what exactly is this "Red Spring Orthodox Technique"?

Why does it require eating children?

...

Although this skeleton is somewhat mystical, it’s not quite fitting to become the "prime soul." Thus, Tan Shuchang had to put in considerable effort to finally refine and assimilate it.

Now, all that was needed was to wait for the skeleton to absorb the power of this psychic Magic Artifact and undergo a transformation.

During this waiting period, Tan Shuchang took the opportunity to write a diary entry.

He didn’t use any fancy psychic Magic Artifacts or special-functioning heavenly materials and earthly treasures, just ordinary paper.

After all, however well you guard something, it’s still prone to being stolen.

Although he didn’t know why that mysterious, plain white palm liked to steal his diaries, he was completely powerless against it, and even now, he still hadn’t fully comprehended the "Crossing River Technique" it had given him.

So Tan Shuchang just treated it as paying taxes.

Therefore, Tan Shuchang intended to let the skeleton speak for itself.

His sensing of the law of greed this time was still smooth; it seemed the mysterious game wouldn’t be disappearing anytime soon. He just didn’t know what the game was up to, not only refraining from recruiting living Players, but also attempting to restore life to fierce ghosts.

As thoughts swirled in Tan Shuchang’s mind, his lawful body had already allowed the skeleton to complete its ascension.

The process of elevating a fierce ghost to a Yin God was always very simple. Until now, Tan Shuchang had only used it once, to upgrade his dog-headed military advisor to a Yin God.

At this moment, inside the Snake Desire Palace, the skeleton that walked down from the Soul Summoning Banner immediately bowed to Tan Shuchang with a fist-in-palm salute.

"Shu Wenjin, thanks the fellow Daoist for the assistance!" The "cognition fire" within the skeleton vibrated, emitting a human voice.

The voice had a distinct gender characteristic, that of a male.

And this meant the skeleton had recalled much of its past life.

"Daoist Shu need not be overly courteous. I wonder, are you the Mountain Patrol Envoy of Ghost Ridge?" Tan Shuchang didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked.

"Indeed, I am the ninth Mountain Patrol Envoy of Ghost Ridge, and likely the last..." the skeleton emitted a sound like a person sighing.

At this point, Tan Shuchang had already put away his waist tablet, so upon hearing this, he inquired, "Why is that so?"

"Firstly, the Earth Ghost Immortal of Ghost Ridge, after a joint effort involving myself and eight fellow disciples, Daoist friends, and seniors, has been completely sealed. Even if a True Immortal were to intervene, it would take tens of thousands of years to undo the seal set by the nine of us. Without the leadership of the Earth Ghost Immortal, the Yin Gods of Ghost Ridge will not leave, as they acknowledge no leader among them," the skeleton claiming to be Shu Wenjin, the ninth Mountain Patrol Envoy, answered.

Apparently, this wasn’t the entire answer, so the skeleton continued, "The second reason is that the Immortal Sect’s legacy of Shu Dao within the spiritual domain has been exhausted. With the depletion of the Shu Dao legacy, there would no longer be any interference with Sword Dao. And for that reason, Ghost Ridge won’t need a tenth Mountain Patrol Envoy..."

The skeleton who called himself Shu Wenjin, the ninth Mountain Patrol Envoy, stopped there because Tan Shuchang produced the waist tablet.
