Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

This shift in conversation was indeed very effective, as once Hong Yan heard that Tan Shuchang had already encountered the Secluded Spring Blood Demon, she no longer pursued what was wrong with him. As for Tan Shuchang's description of his encounter with the demon, the red-dressed girl did not harbor the slightest doubt.

She simply took out the purple-golden sword and handed it to Tan Shuchang.

For this was her true purpose in coming here.

"Is this the sword the Sword Immortal from the Wild Dog Sword Scripture gave you?" Tan Shuchang didn't accept it because he sensed the rich immortal essence from the sword.

Once, an Earth Ghost Immortal made fun of Tan Shuchang for not recognizing immortal essence, although he still didn't understand it now, but he was able to keenly perceive it.

It was a wonderful substance akin to power yet not exactly power, invisible to the naked eye, seemingly non-existent, yet undeniably present.

Moreover, it was closely related to the strength of one's Dao practice!

He also had immortal essence within him, which Tan Shuchang discovered after successfully achieving eternal life, likely birthed alongside the emergence of the "Balance of Eternal Life".

"The Sword Immortal said only this sword can kill the Secluded Spring Blood Demon! Moreover, he said that within this sword lies his life's cultivation of the Sword Dao, how much I can understand depends on my own ability.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But I'm too stupid, I only grasped a tiny bit, just enough to touch upon the threshold of the Sword Master of Heaven and Earth's realm, so you, the Demon Lord, should try to comprehend it!"

The red-dressed girl said this as she tried to hand the sword to Tan Shuchang again.

But Tan Shuchang still refused to take it.

Because he did not practice the Sword Dao.

Although Tan Shuchang had never felt his talent for the Sword Dao was weak, he wasn't interested in it, especially since he had the Calamity Witnessing Sword Qi techniques to use instead.

Moreover, the Sword Spirit inside didn't much appeal to him.

Therefore, Tan Shuchang's interest in this Immortal Sword was indeed very limited, almost nonexistent.

Thus, Tan Shuchang chuckled lightly and said, "You should diligently comprehend it yourself, this is your opportunity, not mine. After all, I had the Wild Dog Sword Scripture in my possession for quite a while, but it never showed any transformations, so it seems it's not meant for me. Oh, by the way, you don't need to go to the Jingzhou palace.

The method of eternal life I intend to pass on involves just accumulating a thousand years of cultivation energy, then using nine hundred years of it as a sacrifice to quell the fury of the heavens."

The girl, stubborn as a mule, was somewhat one of his own, so Tan Shuchang told her in advance to save her the trip.

His method for achieving eternal life was indeed feasible!

Even though it was unlikely to obtain any more immortal fates, if one could truly accumulate a thousand years of cultivation energy, it was still possible to quell the fury of the heavens with this method and achieve eternal life without any negative consequences.

"A thousand years of cultivation energy?" Upon hearing this, shock overwhelmed Hong Yan, and she couldn't help but worship Tan Shuchang with fervor.

It represented a cultivation talent that was rare even over thousands of years!

And an unimaginable level of hard work and perseverance!

She once learned that there had been a woman in Black Heart Mountain who achieved twenty-seven years of cultivation energy in just three years. Her talent was unparalleled, reputed to be seen once in a thousand years. Yet, it seemed this woman must have slacked off quite a bit, far from the "hard work" and "effort" of Tan Shuchang!

"If you can't accumulate that in a thousand years, three hundred years might be enough, although it's very likely you won't achieve eternal life, at most you'll live another lifetime," Tan Shuchang said, glancing at the red-dressed girl, then speaking somewhat euphemistically.

Despite the girl's decent talent, her Sword Dao ability was ultimately not at the unbelievable level of a certain little girl's, nor did she seem likely to possess a plethora of cultivation resources, the heaven-sent treasures that enhance cultivation energy were undoubtedly plentiful.

So, in Tan Shuchang's view, it was hopeless for the girl to accumulate three hundred years of cultivation energy.

As the saying goes, luck is also part of strength. And in the world of cultivating immortals, resources are always part of potential.

With the worst of talent, throw enough cultivation resources, and while you might not become a centenarian immortal master, achieving seventy or eighty years of cultivation energy and becoming a bona fide elder in the immortal cultivation world is still possible!

Then, mist began to swirl around Tan Shuchang, and his figure grew faint, gradually fading away until it disappeared altogether.

He still had to catch a Mountain-Sea Beast to serve as a mount.

As for which Mountain-Sea Beast, Tan Shuchang had already made up his mind, first ruling out those like the Swamp Thunder Jiao Dragon that like to cultivate leveraging human nature. Moreover, a mount did not need to be fast or particularly strong. For him, a mount was for appearances only.

So, it just needed to be large enough and have a significant reputation in this world!

Thus, after considering his options, Tan Shuchang decided to capture a pure-blooded Kui ox, not one that had been domesticated.

And witnessing Tan Shuchang's departure with such a divine ability, the girl, stubborn as a mule, couldn't help but fill with hope. Which cultivator wouldn't wish to possess such skills?

Therefore, under the stir of such thoughts, she, who had only just touched the threshold of the Sword Master of Heaven and Earth's realm, suddenly grasped some insights from Tan Shuchang's use of the Soaring Clouds and Mist Divine Power, and in an instant, she took a crucial step forward!
