Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!-Chapter 533 - 288, Longevity and eternal youth also depend on the circumstances_2
Chapter 533: 288, Longevity and eternal youth also depend on the circumstances_2 Chapter 533: 288, Longevity and eternal youth also depend on the circumstances_2 I can only say—honest folks don’t keep diaries.
As a result, every cultivator in Shenxu Heaven knew that within the demonic sects of the Demon Path, there emerged an exceptionally brilliant and world-shaking demon cultivator with cultivation that could rival the natural laws.
This directly bolstered the spirits of demon cultivators in this world.
Although they benefited almost as much as the loose cultivators, Tan Shuchang’s existence was undoubtedly a testament to these demon cultivators that cultivating demons wasn’t a path without prospects!
Most directly, a Demon Sect Master who had faked death for who knows how many years, resurfaced!
And by utilizing the Heavenly Pillar technique, this Demon Sect Master became the second cultivator to step into the realm of longevity within three hundred years. As for the first?
That was, of course, a certain young girl.
...
She took advantage of the spiritual medicines available all over the Land of the Four Pillars and started a business without any capital, becoming a well-known elixir merchant in a certain place. Among the cultivator community below the realm of longevity, her reputation was immense.
Because despite the abundance of spiritual medicines in the Land of the Four Pillars, the control over loose cultivators by various families, immortal clans, and Taoist palaces was severe. Thus, elixirs that could enhance cultivation power didn’t increase in number due to this treasure land. Instead, they remained scarce for the vast majority of loose cultivators.
While Ascenders did appear from time to time, those who managed to ascend were mostly cultivators of three proofs, remaining famous within the Immortal Path. What person of such standing would care about cultivators yet to achieve longevity?
Even if there were, a warning from any noble family combined with some benefits would make these ascended cultivators obedient.
A mighty dragon doesn’t oppress the local snakes.
More so, those that become noble families aren’t just local snakes but overlords of their regions.
Thus, it wasn’t that no one had discovered this business opportunity, but those who were interested didn’t dare to proceed. Those who weren’t interested, regardless of their goodwill, feared the power of the major forces and didn’t dare to touch it.
The reason this young girl dared to do so was naturally because she relied on the “back door” that Tan Shuchang left for her.
This door, casually sketched by Tan Shuchang, could only be used by Dongdong and, after several uses, she discovered that the door simply required a thought to switch between two worlds instantaneously.
Moreover, it could also immunize against many controlling techniques!
This gave the young girl enormous confidence, so she relied on Heavenly Sword Mansion to continuously refine various elixirs that enhanced cultivation power, opting for a thin profit but high turnover selling method, directly crashing the entire low-grade elixir market of the region.
The cultivating families in the region were infuriated by this young girl but were utterly helpless. In desperation, they had no choice but to lower their prices and temporarily withdraw from the low-grade spirit pill market.
Their helplessness stemmed not only from their inability to catch the young girl but also from their attempts to undercut her by buying large quantities of her elixirs and drastically lowering prices.
However, apart from increasing their own losses, it had no effect.
After all, creating these kinds of low-grade spirit pills wasn’t difficult, and with spiritual medicines readily available, it was nearly no-cost trading. Even though the young girl didn’t sell them for much, her benefits were already greater than those she’d get from selling these elixirs far away in Shenxu Heaven.
No matter how you looked at it, she was making a profit!
With such a lucrative source of income, the young girl naturally acquired many rare treasures. Most of them weren’t very useful, but there were a few that were just right for her.
For example, a strange stone imprinted with the essence of Sword Qi.
With such a vast number of loose cultivators, it was natural for many hidden treasures to be among them, which ordinary people couldn’t recognize.
The regular trade of elixirs wasn’t enough to make loose cultivators reveal these treasured items. Even if the true nature of these treasures was discovered, a cultivator’s spiritual sense could sense it to some extent.
If one couldn’t use it themselves, then keeping it for one’s son or grandson was always an option, as there would eventually be a time when it could be useful.
However, this young girl sold elixirs by the kilogram…
Not by the jin, but by the kilogram.
If the items desired to exchange for elixirs weren’t worth a kilogram of cultivation-enhancing elixirs, as long as it wasn’t too far off, she would just round it up and make the sale.
This “foolish people with abundant elixirs—come quickly” sales method was just too hard for many loose cultivators to resist.
Moreover, the leftover elixirs could still be bought back at eighty percent of the value.
This is also why all the major powers in this place ultimately had no temper, the fundamental reason lay within their inability to act overtly.
Catching someone had to be done surreptitiously; it wouldn’t look good to do so outright. Otherwise, it would seem too unsightly for one’s own family. However, that meant this little girl could not be captured at all. And the elixirs she had were as if a major power was continuously helping her refine them, with no upper limit…
But this is also why the little girl did not go to other regions.
This region had not produced a True Immortal in ten thousand years, and compared to the Five Spirits Realm, although it was somewhat better, it was still a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
And with so many benefits, Dongdong’s cultivation of the Heavenly Heart Sword Realm Cultivation Technique progressed at an astonishing rate. Furthermore, with the aid of elixirs that could enhance one’s Dao, and the backing of the Heavenly Sword Mansion, after refining dozens of them, she successfully advanced by using the method of Cultivating Immortality through elixirs. In just ten years, her cultivation had reached a level where she could attempt the second confirmation.
Thus, the little girl began to prepare for her breakthrough.
However, this news could not be kept secret, as those Cultivating Immortality families had only yielded temporarily. Therefore, during the little girl’s moment of attempting the second confirmation, three Cultivators who had attained the third confirmation and had their names known in the Immortal Path, struck together.
These were some of the strongest individuals in this region.
The mobilization of three of them was enough to show the strong animosity the major powers in this region had towards this little girl.
“Young girl, you are truly talented. It’s been only half a jiazi, and you’re already attempting the second confirmation. However, it’s a pity; you shouldn’t have, out of all things, opposed us.”
These three third-confirmation Cultivators, who had made a name for themselves on the Immortal Path, were undoubtedly very suitable to be antagonists because they talked far too much.
Of course, it was also because the little girl’s cultivation speed was shockingly fast.

Even with elixirs that could improve one’s Dao, these elixirs were not something one could consume at will. One’s own understanding and insight into cultivation also had to keep up with the increase in Dao.
Especially considering the little girl’s Sword Dao talent, she had just touched upon the second confirmation and hadn’t yet made a true breakthrough, she was already at the Ancient Sword Immortal Realm.
With such a level of Sword Dao, becoming a Sword Immortal was merely a matter of time.
However, the saying “villains die from talking too much” is not without merit as a cautionary proverb, because in the next second, a strand of blood-colored Sword Qi appeared out of nowhere. The three Cultivators, who even if not regarded as great powers, were local tyrants of their land. But at that moment, as the blood-colored Sword Qi appeared, they instantly turned into three puddles of blood on the ground.
Afterward, the strand of blood-colored Sword Qi transformed into a pool of wriggling blood, which then morphed into a human figure.
It was Tan Shuchang.
“Tan Shuchang, where have you been all these years?” Seeing that it was Tan Shuchang, Dongdong’s little face lit up with joy.
After all, he was her half mentor!
“Me? I was cultivating. What I didn’t expect is that you actually accomplished something that I had once contemplated but never managed to do…” Tan Shuchang’s gaze was somewhat bizarre.
Because he felt like he was looking in a mirror.
He had had such a notion too, but in the end, it remained just a thought. His subsequent creation of the Alchemy Path Puppet was also an advanced product based on this idea.
“When did you also think of doing that?” Dongdong couldn’t help but ask.
However, no sooner had she voiced the question, the little girl stopped caring about it, because she had a more pressing concern at the moment.
“During my previous decade of sudden enlightenment, it made sense that I didn’t grow taller. But now that I’ve been traveling all over, gathering Spiritual Medicine, and practicing the arts of spellcasting and cultivation, why am I still not growing taller?”
Dongdong’s little face was serious, her large eyes, clear black and white, were staring straight at Tan Shuchang.
Ten years ago, she really hadn’t doubted Tan Shuchang. Because during those ten years of sudden enlightenment, she didn’t feel the slightest bit. But now, another decade had passed, and something was very wrong! Although eternal youth was delightful, it mattered what kind of eternal youth it was!
“About that, have you considered that the problem might lie with you?” Tan Shuchang replied, laughing.
In his True Immortal World, he had nurtured the Shenshu Celestial for ten years. Although the evolution of the True Immortal Immortal Path was still in its initial stages, Tan Shuchang had unexpectedly gained some insight into the most mysterious timeline.
Therefore, saying that now, Tan Shuchang did so with full conviction.
Because indeed, it was not his problem.
It was the problem of the little girl who was also too short before he traveled back through the Long River of time. As for why the little girl was very short at that time, that question was no longer important.
