This three hundred years of Daoist cultivation from the Demon Luo Heavenly Authority, which Tan Shuchang originally planned to sever because it would conflict with the Power of the Shenshu Celestial that he bore.
After all, indecision will eventually lead to chaos.
However, before Tan Shuchang found the right mont, he ascended unexpectedly by following Jun Zimo and Ning Shuqi and has since been preoccupied with the issues of his ascended status.
At this mont, Tan Shuchang, following the faint delicate fluctuations on the soul banner, sought the skeleton that sent out this particular ssage.
However, when he found the skeleton, he discovered that it had run off tens of thousands of miles away.
This surprised Tan Shuchang. Your next chapter awaits on .Côm
Because these skeletons, even nourished by the soul banner, could only improve their strength to a very limited extent. The main purpose of the soul banner was to help form a "conscious fire" to prevent these skeletons from only knowing how to throw themselves, then assemble themselves after falling apart.
Therefore, Tan Shuchang was not in a hurry to find the treasures of this place anymore.
He started to investigate the skeleton himself.
But still, he could not discern anything.
After giving it so thought, Tan Shuchang then decided to look for the treasures of this place. He did not know where in Mang Mountain this location was, as it appeared picturesque with clear waters. But although the waters were clear, they were filled with human hair. And though the mountain appeared lush, bones could be seen hidden amidst the greenery.
And that Spiritual dicine was in the waters filled with drifting hairs, a blood-colored peach tree.
There was only one fruit on the tree.
It had the appearance of a peach, bathed in blood light but still exuded a glaze-like sheen, swirling around it.
However, before Tan Shuchang could approach, a blood-haired old man floated out from the peach tree. This old man sized up Tan Shuchang with sowhat disapproving eyes, but perhaps due to professional ethics or sothing else, reluctantly smiled widely and said carelessly as if an official facing peasants, "One thousand able-bodied young people can exchange for this one Hundred Death Ren Water Spirit Peach, these are the rules set by the true , the revered child. I presu you are aware of it."
"The true , the revered child, the True Immortal of the Ghost Path who ascended to the Primordial Heavenly Realm from the Land of Yin and Darkness?" Tan Shuchang exclaid with so surprise upon hearing this.
He did not expect that this being had actually left behind such rules, which continued to be used to regulate exchanges involving such treasures.
"How dare you, to not address the Immortal family with respect!" However, because of what Tan Shuchang said, the old man was suddenly enraged.
With the old man’s anger, the blood-colored peach tree—the branches and twigs—suddenly turned into nacing claws, and translucent human faces appeared among the branches, each trying to struggle free but only able to keep wailing.
But just as the old man was about to strike at Tan Shuchang, he suddenly stopped, as he saw the waist token on Tan Shuchang’s belt, so the old man had to roar with reluctance, "Go away! Seeing as you are the Mountain Patrol Envoy, I will spare you this once, but from now on you must offer up two pairs of boys and girls to every month, if not, I will surely tear you to pieces!"
Tan Shuchang heard this, his brows slightly furrowed, but naturally not because of the old man’s threats, rather because the old man’s words contained too much information.
Firstly, typically a Mountain Patrol Envoy should not die, as long as the required offerings, such as boys and girls, are provided punctually. But the previous Envoys of Ghost Ridge were devoured nine tis over, could it be that all nine chose not to satisfy the demands of these ghostly beings?
This peach tree, though a Spiritual dicine, had a consciousness borne of the Ghost Path. Indeed, because it took the path of ghosts, the fruit ripening and the tree decaying was the way of the Ren Water Peach to evolve from a Spiritual dicine into a precious dicine!
Therefore, calling the consciousness born of this precious dicine a ghostly entity wasn’t far from the truth.
At this mont, seeing Tan Shuchang’s frown, the blood-haired old man snorted coldly, then warned, "Boy, don’t think just because you’ve achieved longevity that all cultivators of your level are much the sa. What’s more, do you even know where this place is?"
"I hope the senior would not hesitate to enlighten , what is this place?" Tan Shuchang imdiately bowed with his hands clasped and earnestly asked for guidance.
However, seeing Tan Shuchang’s sincere attitude, the blood-haired old man was taken aback and then asked with so surprise and uncertainty, "Are you a Literati Cultivator from the Immortal Sect of the Book Mountain?"
"Senior, rest assured, I am not," replied Tan Shuchang, who, although he had ascended to the Land of the Four Pillars less than two or three days ago, was sowhat familiar with the might of the Immortal Sect of the Book Mountain.
In Shenxu Heaven, when it was still called the Jiawu Realm, the might of the Sole Sword Mountain was comparable to that of the Immortal Sect of the Book Mountain in the current Spiritual Domain. And because the Immortal Sect of the Book Mountain once had a Literary Dao True Immortal who traded his own cultivation as a price to send the Secluded Spring Blood Demon into reincarnation, all the cultivators in the Land of the Four Pillars revered the Immortal Sect of the Book Mountain!
"Better that you’re not..." the blood-haired old man muttered instinctively, but after speaking, he realized that his words were inappropriate. His eyebrows furrowed, he was ready to burst into anger.
However, after looking at Tan Shuchang’s sincere deanor and seeing no sign of deceit, the blood-haired old man suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "Aren’t you the new bookish Mountain Patrol Envoy of Ghost Ridge?"
"Senior’s discernnt is as sharp as a torch. I am indeed the new Mountain Patrol Envoy of Ghost Ridge, but I am not a bookworm," Tan Shuchang replied in an incredibly calm tone, although he did feel sowhat speechless inside.
