Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Even the currency was like this, one could glimpse the state of other things.

For this reason, this pattern of ordered chaos was exactly what various factions wanted to see.

Tan Shuchang continued to walk.

Like an ordinary person, he did not use any power but relied on his physical body alone to sense the world around him. About ten days later, as a spark of inspiration flashed in his mind, the Water-Fire Two Phases technique that Tan Shuchang had realized before improved significantly!

Flames surged within his sleeves as if boundless magma was rolling within, but in the next second, it transformed into a thoroughly cold aura, as if it was about to furiously sweep out.

It was then that Tan Shuchang finally managed to perfect the long-coveted Sleeve Universe Technique with the help of melting gold and continuous heavy snow.

However, this Sleeve Universe had a bit of a limitation.

Because it could not contain a True Immortal.

Those who left their name in the immortal path could not be contained either. Those who had united the two proofs of the path, if they were in a period of decline, then they could be contained.

As for a singly-ascended Immortal... it depended on whether the other party had any formidable Magic Artifacts.

After all, this was a place after ascension, where True Immortals existed, and a myriad of mystical methods were endlessly emerging. Therefore, it was very necessary not to speak too confidently.

"Thankfully, this place is not the Land of the Four Pillars," Tan Shuchang looked at the Body Refinement cultivators who were visible everywhere, feeling that he could try to contain even those few Martial Immortals.

The disdain of spell-casters for physical shields was a timeless thing.

It was an immutable chain of contempt.

Then, Tan Shuchang continued to perceive the vital energy rules of heaven and earth.

And it was perhaps because he had already been here for a while that suddenly Tan Shuchang understood exactly where the mundane aura on his body was and what it looked like. He then began to consciously guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to wash over himself.

Several days later, as fortune would have it, Tan Shuchang realized that the human form was not conducive to purifying his mundane aura, so he manifested his Undying Blood form.

As expected, the speed of dispersion of the mundane aura picked up instantly.

Moreover, Tan Shuchang unexpectedly discovered that after manifesting his Undying Blood form, comprehending the vital energy rules was significantly easier than before.

Therefore, Tan Shuchang did not revert to his human form.

Thus, among the Loose Cultivators in the lands of Shenxu Prison, rumors began to spread of a variant Mountain-Sea Beast, saying that in the deep mountains northwest of the Xi Lui family, there was a blood-like creature, like a snake yet not a snake, like ink yet not ink, wriggling continuously through the forests, emitting a terrifying power that made one's heart tremble, suspected to be a variant of a Mountain-Sea Beast.

The Xi Lui family was also a large clan in the Shenxu Prison lands, only slightly inferior to the Gong Shu clan.

The reason the Gong Shu clan was stronger than the Xi Lui family was simply because of the Phoenix Martial Immortal, who had the double surname Gong Shu.

The news spread wider and wider, even reaching the Bei Lui family.

Xi Lui and Bei Lui were both Liu surnamed clans, distinguished by being located to the west and the north, respectively, and both being powerful families, hence the use of Xi Lui and Bei Lui as identifiers. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Consequently, some members of the Xi Lui family were dispatched to the deep mountains in the northwest to investigate. After all, variant Mountain-Sea Beasts were often excellent food sources, beneficial for enhancing one's physical body.

However, after the Body Cultivation cultivators from the Xi Lui family arrived, they found nothing, and as a result, they executed several of the people who had spread the news.

Because only in this way could they justify themselves to their superiors.

"Master, this matter was a rumor spread by some troublemakers, completely unfounded. We have executed those individuals," reported the Body Refinement cultivator from the Xi Lui family, addressing a Liu surnamed cultivator.

"Killing people just because of some rumors seems inappropriate..." furrowed brows of the Liu surnamed cultivator, because those who had set out on their behalf had represented the Liu family's good name.

"Please rest assured, Master, we specifically found evidence that these individuals had been quarrelsome on a normal basis. And when cultivators fight with others, isn't it common for deaths to occur? Therefore, we executed those individuals in public under the pretext of avenging those killings. As a result, the onlookers all applauded, praising us for upholding justice!"

"Well done, you may go and receive your reward!" nodded the Liu surnamed cultivator slightly.

With that, the matter came to an end.

As the source of these "rumors," Tan Someone had, by now, openly appeared in the Land of the Four Pillars through the mysterious game.

Although Jun Zimo and Ning Shuqi, those two who knew him, were present, Tan Shuchang had not left the spiritual realm near the South Gate Pillar.

After all, this spiritual realm was vast, almost twice the size of Shenxu Heaven based on the descriptions he had heard. Therefore, as long as he was not sure he could traverse the realm safely, Tan Shuchang was not willing to take the risk.

At this moment, he had successfully blended into a city within this spiritual realm and returned to his old trade.

Which was setting up a stall.

After all these years of cultivation, he only had the experience of running a stall a few times in the bizarre game's world where humans and ghosts coexisted, and it could even be considered a proper way to make a living.

After all, he did not know alchemy.

And though he had studied artifact refining, this was the Land of the Four Pillars, where the arts of refining were more advanced, capable of directly producing artifacts with spirits!

As for other skills such as talisman making, puppetry, and formations... besides formations, which he knew a little, he was ignorant of the rest.

So, after careful consideration of the hundred arts of immortal cultivation, Tan Someone ultimately found that he could only set up a stall.

And the items for sale at his stall were some spiritual medicines that Tan Shuchang had casually picked in Shenxiu's Prison Soil. There, these medicines were regarded as common weeds.

But in the Land of the Four Pillars, they naturally reclaimed their value as spiritual medicines.

Because they could be used to concoct some common spirit pills.

In the Land of the Four Pillars, the realms below the Immortals didn't use the same terms as in Shenxu Heaven, where cultivators were simply classified. Here, they were subdivided into: beginning cultivation, seeing the mountains and rivers, initial wanderlust, comprehending yin and yang, and endless years.

The first realm, beginning cultivation, was self-explanatory, literally meaning just that. The second realm, seeing the mountains and rivers, was akin to thirty years of cultivation power, as it allowed the use of magic artifacts to start flying.

The third realm, initial wanderlust, was actually a long transitional phase. When cultivators reached this realm, it didn't necessarily mean they were free-spirited.

Naming it such was probably just for the sake of sounding pleasant.

The fourth realm, comprehending yin and yang, was very aptly named, equivalent to more than ninety years of cultivation in Shenxu Heaven, or nearly a century of immortal cultivation.

The last realm, endless years, naturally referred to a century of cultivation and beyond.

Although there was a great distance between endless years and achieving true immortality, no further subdivision was made here because it was meaningless.

One with endless years could attempt to achieve immortality!

Further cultivation didn't necessarily increase the chances of success.

Before reaching endless years, cultivation resources were significant. But taking a step further, becoming an immortal, the importance of cultivation resources diminished. Whether one could achieve true immortality depended entirely on personal enlightenment and aptitude.

Therefore, cultivators at the stage of endless years were commonplace in the Land of the Four Pillars.

After all, with an excellent Cultivation Technique, some life-extending Spirit Pills, and other cultivation resources, one could reach this realm after three hundred years of practice.

In the Land of the Four Pillars, those who could obtain excellent Cultivation Techniques generally had some foundation in immortal cultivation families.

This group of people naturally wouldn't lack anything needed for cultivation.

Take Nangong Tianshuang, for instance. She was young when she left the Land of the Four Pillars. Given another hundred or two hundred years, she would undoubtedly be among the ranks of the endless years.

However, despite the spiritual medicines Tan Shuchang sold being usable for concocting common pills, they were ultimately too low in grade, so he sat at a street corner for a full incense stick's time without anyone inquiring about the price.

Tan Shuchang didn't really mind this.

He set up the stall as a cover; the real intention was to use the opportunity to seek a suitable new identity for himself.

After all, this world not only was beneath the Primordial Heavenly Realm but also had True Immortals who occasionally preached. Although he could simply disguise himself as a Loose Cultivator—since their numbers were the greatest—he realized upon careful deliberation that it would be the identity most likely to arouse suspicion.
