Chapter 534: 289, Mysterious tiline, strange master-disciple relationship Chapter 534: 289, Mysterious tiline, strange master-disciple relationship Understanding the tiline was not Shuchang’s strong suit; he only knew that if the existence of sothing on a certain tiline ranged from one to ten, then ten was its limit, and even reversing cause and effect could not change it.
This little girl was exactly that case.
Her current height was her limit, sothing that could never be changed.
On the other hand, Shuchang could change his state, progressing from the initial stage of Heavenly Gang Cultivation all the way to the Extre of Heavenly Gang, thanks to the special nature of the Cultivation Land.
The Cultivation Land allowed him to temporarily withdraw from the influence of the tiline.
This was also why, when the little girl was about to make her breakthrough to the second level of unity, he went to her directly.
Saving her was just a matter of convenience.
...
The main reason was to have her put off her breakthrough.
Because before Shuchang went through that door, the girl simply possessed the cultivation of Longevity’s first level.
At that ti, Shuchang had no intention of hiding anything; he explained his connection with her and his own background in a straightforward manner.
Upon hearing that Shuchang had returned to the past, Dongdong’s big eyes revealed a bit of sudden realization.
She finally understood why those diaries that had co out described events that had clearly never happened.
Sure enough, they were written by Shuchang before he had traveled back in ti along the Long River!
“Then, can I make my breakthrough after you return?” Being a cultivator, she was undoubtedly very concerned about her own cultivation level.
“After I return, naturally, you can,” Shuchang nodded his head in confirmation.
After all, once he returned, he would disengage from this segnt of the tiline and would no longer be subject to its influence.
“So, when will you return?” Dongdong definitely did not want to remain small forever.
“In about ten years or so.”
Shuchang said, not intending to hide anything and even sharing the exact tiline with the little girl.
Dongdong nodded her little head.
Then, with a small wave of her hand, she sent him away.
She thought of her previous “half-master’s” intentions and now felt a bit embarrassed.
Seeing the familiar “skirt-lifting, face-forgetting” expression from her, Shuchang didn’t take much notice. His form dissipated, but a strand of his spirit did not leave.
Instead, it attached to one of the little girl’s hairs.
In tis of crisis, this strand of spirit could instantly transform into a Blood Shadow Clone, confronting the enemy with sixty percent of Shuchang’s power.
The reason for such an arrangent was not because Shuchang did not trust Dongdong; he simply felt that after hearing his words, the girl might co up with so clever antics.
And indeed, she did.
Knowing that her cultivation could not advance nor could she grow taller due to reasons she didn’t fully understand, which most likely related to Shuchang, Dongdong gave up her arduous cultivation pursuits.
She set her mind on how to get her revenge.
The first thing the little girl did was to offer a buy-one-get-one-free deal on Elixirs—buy one kilogram of Elixir and get another kilogram for free. Since there was no cost for the Spiritual dicine, and the trades could be completed instantly through the portal on that piece of letter, she still made a profit even with this offer.
The only difference was that she earned half as much as before.
However, earning just half as much was still a great deal in exchange for venting her spleen.
Of course, this was just the beginning, for had not Tan Shuchang’s consciousness transcended realms to arrive, she truly would have been in danger. Even if she could escape, she would have suffered loss of vital energy and not recovered for many years.
Thus, the angry little girl wanted to ruin the entire Elixir trade network in the region!
After all, Shuchang would return in about ten years.
Although she didn’t know what would beco of her, whether she would go back with Shuchang or remain here, one thing was certain: if she did not take the opportunity to exact revenge now, she likely wouldn’t get another chance after Shuchang’s departure.
Especially since having a True Immortal’s backing wasn’t a constant guarantee!
“Shuchang has the True Immortal cultivation of the Extre of Heavenly Gang, so… as long as it’s not a Celestial Master True Immortal coming, there should be no issues!” For a mont, the little girl was filled with fierce pride.
She wanted those who had attacked her to realize the consequences of crossing her weren’t trivial—retribution was to be expected.
Yet after Dongdong enacted her plan, the outco was contrary to what she had hoped.
Though the lower-grade Elixir market had collapsed completely, the various powers did not suffer significant loss of vital energy.
“If you can use Spiritual dicine to perform Alchemy, can’t they do the sa? You’re operating a cost-free business; to them, isn’t it similar? There was just a price floor which none of them dared to breach.”
“By completely destroying that price floor, these people naturally lost their concerns.”
This was said by an abruptly appearing Shuchang.
Even though he had never dealt with this aspect, having stayed with the Tan Family for a ti, he was familiar with such hidden, unspoken rules and didn’t need to delve deeply to make an educated guess.
Saying this, he took the little girl back to Shenxu Heaven.
“Why did you bring back? Has a powerful True Immortal arrived?” Dongdong wasn’t particularly clever, but she wasn’t stupid either; she guessed the reason for Shuchang’s appearance straight away.
“A Celestial Master True Immortal’s Incarnation has arrived, seemingly drawn by your talent in Sword Dao,” Shuchang explained.
