Chapter 311: 185. The truly greedy often do not appear greedy.

The name is quite ordinary, but the reason there are two Golden Body Lotuses here is specifically to nourish the Sword Grass.

As for the effects of this Sword Grass, they are even more incredible.

It can forcefully and safely elevate a Sword Cultivator’s Sword Dao realm, for example, a cultivator in the realm of Sword Master of Heaven and Earth who refines Sword Grass can advance to the level of Sword Heart Universe.

If one is already at the level of Sword Heart Universe, then they can step further into the legendary “Ancient Sword Immortal Realm”!

Once one reaches such a Sword Dao realm, even a cultivator in the stage of proving longevity now possesses the ability to harm True Immortals.

This magical medicine undoubtedly seizes the creation of heaven and earth.

However, sadly, it is exclusive to Sword Dao cultivators.

Tan Shuchang could also consume it, but if he did, he would only reach the Sword Dao realm of “Integration of Man and Sword”.

“Merely the Integration of Man and Sword, I could achieve it through my own insights; I’d rather not use it!” Tan Shuchang confidently said, as his understanding was not low; he had not yet grasped it only because he had not found the right Sword Cultivation Technique for himself.

Sword Cultivation Techniques, in fact, vary from person to person.

It is not that the more powerful the Sword Cultivation Technique, the better, because the more powerful the technique, the greater the demands on the cultivator. Just slightly failing to meet one criterion could render one unable to cultivate that particular technique.

However, while the Sword Grass can be temporarily set aside, the Golden Body Lotus cannot.

Tan Shuchang directly consumed and refined it.

The effects did not disappoint him; as soon as the Golden Body Lotus was refined, it stripped him of the constitution of a Nine Aperture Martial Demon and began evolving instantly. Soon, a Dharma Aspect appeared, large in stature and burning with black flames, with spikes growing from its back, three heads, and six arms.

This was undoubtedly a Demon Dao Divine Skill Dharma Aspect.

But this was also quite normal, after all, the Nine Aperture Martial Demons and “Method Door Five” did not look like they belonged to the orthodox path.

“The second Golden Body Lotus cannot be directly consumed. It needs to be processed into a pill for the Dharma Aspect’s divine skills to continue to grow. It seems I can’t delay learning Alchemy,” Tan Shuchang said as he looked at the second Golden Body Lotus in his hand and casually sealed that rooster somewhere while he began to communicate with the Greed Rule.

The Greed Rule responded instantly, and Tan Shuchang disappeared in a moment.

Once again arriving in the bizarre game world, Tan Shuchang unexpectedly found that King Hei and King Di Mie were still busily engaging in their tribute affair and had not yet ceased.

“These two’s rules seem even greedier than the Greed Rule! Indeed, the truly greedy are often those who appear least greedy!”

He casually remarked and then returned to Shenxu Heaven.

He soon found Yi Qingqing.

As for the task Tan Shuchang had assigned her, Yi Qingqing had already completed it, bringing a Rank One Yin God White Bone up to Caiyun Valley, and none of the Alchemy Dao cultivators of the entire sect dared to object.

Moreover, the cultivators of Caiyun Valley also had ample reason to persuade themselves.

After all, they weren’t forcibly taken away, but instead exchanged for a secret realm left by Demon Lord Tan. After seeing that realm, all were overjoyed.

Because many of the Spiritual Medicines within it were long vanished from Shenxu Heaven.

Thus, it was a fair exchange of needs!

Even in the eyes of the cultivators of Caiyun Valley, they were the ones who profited greatly because no matter how high-level those Alchemy Dao scriptures were, they couldn’t cultivate them.

Instead of that, they preferred to exchange them for the Spiritual Medicines of this secret realm.

And because of this matter, the identity of Yi Qingqing, the third-generation Sect Leader of the Sacred Gate, also became renowned throughout Shenxu Heaven.

Especially the control of the Yin God White Bone in her hands, which shocked the cultivators across the land.

“I specifically spread a message outside, saying that I have received the legacy you left behind,” Yi Qingqing said, knowing that Tan Shuchang wanted to keep himself hidden, thus she devised such a method.

Although it wasn’t the best method, it was undoubtedly the most suitable one.

“You just handle it as you see fit. You are now the third leader of the Sacred Gate. By the way, after a while, when I think of a method to refine living beings, I will bring you a Mountain-Sea Beast. This Mountain-Sea Beast once served under a True Immortal; although its cultivation isn’t high, its experiences are definitely vast,” Tan Shuchang said, doing so naturally to prevent Yi Qingqing from blindly cultivating.

“Was the first one the leader of that Demon Sect from before?” Yi Qingqing asked curiously upon hearing this.

“Exactly, that predecessor. He might be cultivating in Luoja Mountain now. You don’t need to look for him; he might come to find you on his own,” Tan Shuchang explained briefly.

And Yi Qingqing, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but express her surprise.

“Luoja Mountain?”

That was one of the righteous Immortal Sects!

Moreover, wasn’t this Sect Leader of the Demon Sect already vanquished by Swordsman Mountain?

“He felt that cultivating magic had no future, so he faked his death to escape and joined the righteous path,” Tan Shuchang recounted the past.

However, Yi Qingqing, learning of this, suddenly looked incredibly odd.

“Then, the ‘Shadow Retaining Immortal Secret Tome’ is also a Heavenly Power Treasured Tome. After cultivating this technique, was it really so devoid of prospects?” Yi Qingqing asked curiously.

Because she also possessed this demonic technique.

“The ‘Absolute Immortal Sword Tome’ of Swordsman Mountain, the ‘Supreme Clear Lotus Sutra’ of the Supreme Clear Viewing, the ‘Hundred Solutions of the Dragon’ from Jinglong Cave Heaven, the ‘Sixteen Feet Golden Body Dharma Form’ of Western Tuo Mountain, the ‘Heavenly Heart Sword Realm’ of Heavenly Sword Mansion, the ‘Supreme Heart Secret’ of the Great Element Immortal Sect, the ‘Terrestrial Immortal Dao Fruit Technique’ of Terrestrial Immortal Cave Mansion…”

After listing more than a dozen Heavenly Power Treasured Tomes, Tan Shuchang concluded, “All counter the Sacred Gate’s ‘Shadow Retaining Immortal Secret Tome.’

“So that’s why you had to create your own Cultivation Technique!” Upon saying this, Yi Qingqing’s eyes were full of admiration for Tan Shuchang.

Tan Shuchang, upon hearing this, however, did not say anything.

It was neither easy to admit nor deny. The first four volumes of ‘Cross Calamity Immortal Scripture’ were indeed from the ‘Shadow Retaining Immortal Secret Tome,’ but the embryonic forms of the fifth and sixth volumes were his own creations.

But to Yi Qingqing, this was seen as Tan Shuchang being modest.

After all, Demon Lord Tan was widely known for his courtesy and erudition, the very picture of a gentleman, already famous throughout Shenxu Heaven. Adding modesty to that was only to be expected.

Then, Tan Shuchang began to learn Alchemy.

For the basics, he did not rely on the Lotus Platform but instead depended on himself.

The difficulty of entering Alchemy was similar to his initial foray into Artifact Refining and did not trouble Tan Shuchang. He soon managed to concoct some basic Spiritual Medicines.

After all, he had the Pill Treasure Fan.

As long as he did not err in the process, augmented by this treasure, it was natural that he couldn’t face failure.

Then, Tan Shuchang began crafting higher-grade superior medicinal pills.

This too did not stump Tan Shuchang, until he began to delve into pills that involved both Alchemy and Cultivation, which once again challenged him. The techniques of Caiyun Valley were not like the “Nine Suns Pill.”

“Nine Suns Pill” was an external pill which, in a sense, was considered a Divine Skill.

Upon completion, it required the sacrifice of one’s own cultivation!

On the other hand, the combined Alchemy and Cultivation method of Caiyun Valley allowed for a gradual increase in one’s own cultivation during pill concoction!

Yet, Tan Shuchang did not immediately rely on the Lotus Platform.

Because he calculated the time, he felt he could use the excuse of thanking for a gifted treasure to write another diary entry.

The ever-appearing pale white hand that appeared out of nowhere, not meeting that mysterious True Immortal senior once, Tan Shuchang could never settle down!

He used the Shuttle Through Void, arriving directly at Li’s mansion.

However, the person who opened the door was not the young girl “A Lu,” but a maid of Li’s family.

This was just an ordinary maid, not the lady Xiangxiang. Although she also was a maid of Li Luoxia, she had already married and thus no longer lived in the Li household.

The day she met Tan Shuchang was only because the young girl “A Lu” was there.

After this lady Xiangxiang had met Tan Shuchang, all memories related to him were erased.

Tan Shuchang naturally wasn’t there to pick a fight.

However, at this moment, although the maid had opened the door, she couldn’t see Tan Shuchang at all, and by then, Tan Shuchang had already met the young girl “A Lu.”

“Thanks for the treasured gift, elder!”

As he spoke, Tan Shuchang took out the Pill Treasure Fan, making sure his actions would be well-received amongst his peers.

“You recovered so quickly?” the young girl “A Lu” was somewhat surprised.
