Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!-Chapter 471 - : 260, demon cultivators are truly hypocritical!
Chapter 471: 260, demon cultivators are truly hypocritical!
Tan Shuchang did not value certain things, but that did not mean they weren’t valuable. Just as the preciousness of an item often varies from person to person. Besides, how could anything carried by a disciple on par with an Ancestor Path Realm practitioner be an ordinary object?
As such, as soon as these treasures revealed their radiant glow, they attracted all the attention within End-law Mountain.
Tan Shuchang did not have to wait long. Almost as soon as he took out these treasures, a figure with a beaming smile approached his “stall” and greeted him warmly, “Would this fellow Daoist like to trade these treasures?”
Although those who came to End-law Mountain could claim to be nominal disciples of the Ancient Immortal Ancestor, nominal disciples were not considered true members of the sect. Therefore, it was customary to refer to acquaintances as senior or junior brothers, while the term fellow Daoist was used for those less acquainted.
“Indeed!”
Tan Shuchang responded very politely with a fist and palm salute.
...
The smiling figure was somewhat aged in appearance but with the youthful complexion of a crane, a look not uncommon among those who practice cultivation.
After all, not everyone could achieve Longevity at a young age!
“Then may I ask what the fellow Daoist wishes to exchange for?” The visitor was overjoyed upon hearing Tan Shuchang’s affirmative reply. He had spotted many items among the displayed treasures that would be of great benefit to him.
“A soul from the Ghost Path,” Tan Shuchang replied, before he felt he had not been precise enough, adding, “It must be from a True Immortal at least. A True Immortal Soul from the Ghost Path may select any two treasures here.”
After all, since he was using the souls for his lotus-lifting purpose, Tan Shuchang set no limits on the quality of True Immortal Souls.
Originally, Tan Shuchang thought that after he stated his exchange request, his stall wouldn’t exactly be swamped with visitors, but it would certainly be very lively. After all, he had seen the look in the eyes of the True Immortals there before.
However, what Tan Shuchang never expected was the very moment he finished speaking, the True Immortal who had been smiling broadly abruptly changed his expression. His eyes widened with shock and fear.
Not just him, because Tan Shuchang’s request was not just directed at the True Immortal before him. He had intentionally spoken loudly without any attempt to conceal his words. As a result, nearly all the “nominal disciples” on End-law Mountain knew of his exchange request.
Thus, the nominal disciples of the Ancient Immortal Ancestor, without exception, all wore expressions of terror, and many had looks of disbelief in their eyes.
Tan Shuchang, noticing this scene, immediately sensed that something was amiss.
Could it be that one is not allowed to trade True Immortal Souls freely? But if that were the case, how would the Spirit Pills from Tianchang Palace come about?
Could it be that the grounds of Tianchang Palace, besides growing Immortal Elixirs, also produce True Immortal Souls?
If such treasures really existed, he needed to get his hands on them.
Besides setting up his stall, the only respectable livelihood, Tan Shuchang also had some knowledge of agriculture.
“You demon, how dare you…” The formerly smiling figure, now trembling with fear, pointed a finger at Tan Shuchang and was about to berate him.
However, Tan Shuchang was not someone who would just take it, but he had always adhered to propriety. Thus, before the other could finish, Tan Shuchang simply flicked his sleeve and forced the man’s mouth shut.
The shutting of his mouth was against his will and was not because he was coerced; it was Tan Shuchang who directly controlled his body and soul consciousness.
“Why must fellow Daoist react so?” Tan Shuchang finally spoke, his eyes filled with confusion.
Even if trading True Immortal Souls outwardly was not allowed, they could trade in secret, couldn’t they? Why put on such a charade?
And where was this place?
End-law Mountain! One of the lairs of his master, the “Demon Ancestor.”
Tan Shuchang shook his head slightly.
These demonic cultivators really were hypocrites; they have become immortals, but even in their own lair, they still put on an act!
But perhaps it was their love for pretense that kept them as merely nominal disciples, unable to enter Tianchang Palace and become official disciples.
After all, maintaining a facade among a group of hypocritical demonic cultivators is very difficult to stand out.
And now, after realizing he could not speak and was being directly controlled by the person before him, this Immortal of the Ten Desolations, although a True Immortal himself, was gripped by terror.

To render him, a True Immortal, so powerless to resist, the other’s cultivation must be at least that of a Superior Immortal!
Such a force was not something he, a True Immortal, could contend with.
Upon realizing that the person before him had no intention of continuing to attack, the True Immortal turned and ran away instantly. End-law Mountain was a place where conflict was not forbidden! The harmonious atmosphere here owed itself to the uniqueness of the place, being the cultivation site of an Ancient Immortal Ancestor, which is why everyone who came here tempered their nature, each seemingly as obedient as a child.
But self-restraint did not mean conflicts never occurred.
Moreover, the Ancient Immortal Ancestor himself enjoyed encouraging competition among his disciples.
Tan Shuchang did not mind that his first “customer” had run away. After all, there was no enmity between them; moreover, the latter was probably someone who could not afford to buy anyway.
He continued tending to his stall.
In this way, three days passed, and the nominal disciple”S of End-law Mountain came to know that a demon had arrived on the mountain, causing the Ancient Immortal Ancestor’s nominal disciples to be full of trepidation and uncertainty.
