I'm a demon cultivator

Chapter 28 The Demon Sect Master is Not as Professional as You
After returning empty-handed from the strange game, Tan Shuchang has been full of resentment, and even his daily diary entries have become "Qiu Junlin owes a debt, the interest is increased by one", "Qiu Junlin has not paid back the money, the interest is increased by two". But fortunately, this resentment can finally be alleviated today.

Because his injuries were finally healed.

In less than a month, the fundamental injuries were healed. In addition to the fact that the herbs used by Tan Shuchang were all rare and effective, the special abilities of his body also played an indispensable role.

Otherwise, if it were other practitioners, even if they used the same medicine, they would not be able to recover without three to five years.

After all, it hurts the root.

But soon, Tan Shuchang's mood became bad again.

"What are you three doing here?" When the three princes of the Zixuan Dynasty set foot on the Black Heart Mountain, Tan Shuchang reacted instantly, and then he went down the mountain with a bad look.

It's somewhat unlucky to let these three things go up the mountain.

"Tan Shuchang! You don't pay homage to us when you see us. Are you planning a rebellion?" The three princes were dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes. Although they were dressed lightly, they were accompanied by many servants. Hearing Tan Shuchang's words without any respect, the youngest prince, the fourth prince, could not help but get angry.

Among the four princes, the 14-year-old Fourth Prince was the most innocent one. Because he and the Second Prince had the same mother, he had given up thinking about the throne since he could remember. In order to prevent fratricide, his mother also deliberately cultivated his character so that he could become an idle prince in the future.

"You can represent the court? So you want to seize the positions of your eldest brother and your father?" Upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang's expression did not change at all, and he said this in a gentle tone.

"Tan Shuchang, shut up!" The Fourth Prince was immediately frightened. As the crown prince, heir to the throne, he was so terrified when it came to that position, let alone him, the Fourth Prince.

Compared to the Fourth Prince, the Second Prince and the Third Prince were much calmer. The Second Prince waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, Fourth Brother was just joking. Brother Tan, we haven't seen each other for many years. I would like to host a banquet with you two brothers. Would Brother Tan be willing to do me the honor?"

"No reward." Mr. Tan's attitude was quite firm, and he would never be involved in any unknown thing.

The Second Prince was somewhat embarrassed to be scolded by Tan Shuchang. Fortunately, the Third Prince spoke up at this time: "Brother Tan has changed a lot. When I think back to the days when he was gentle and polite, I wonder how many ladies from noble families would fall in love with him with his beautiful articles."

"They were attracted to me because of my status at that time, right?" Tan Shuchang was quite self-aware.

He has no literary talent.

Oh, he does have some literary talent, but basically he is at the level of copying good words and sentences for his own use. If he wants to write a lively and spiritual article, he will have to study for another sixty years before he can achieve this.

Even though Tan Shuchang was just an illegitimate son of the Tan family at that time and didn't even have a servant or maid to serve him in the Tan family, his status was still unattainable for those ladies from wealthy families.

"Brother Tan's current status is not bad!" The second prince also recovered at this time.

The three of them did not come to cause trouble, but to invite the man surnamed Tan to take office. They all knew about their father, the "Tan Gong" who blurted out his name.

Therefore, only by letting this man named Tan take the office can they be considered to have successfully completed the task they had proactively requested.

"What do you mean?" Tan Shuchang's eyes showed strangeness. His attitude could not be said to be good, but these three people seemed to be accommodating him.

"Brother Tan, here is an imperial edict from our father. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?" The second prince asked with a smile. If it were an ordinary person, the imperial edict would be read directly at the door, but when facing a cultivator, he would have to see if the other party is willing to accept it.

If you are unwilling, you cannot use disobeying orders to pressure the other party.

After all, of the 25 states in the Jiawu Realm, the Zixuan Dynasty only ruled 17 states, and there were still eight states that were not under the rule of the court. Although there were no other dynasty forces in these eight states, most of the powerful immortal gates in the Jiawu Realm were there!
The cultivators who are wanted by the imperial court only need to run to the eight states, and the imperial court will be completely helpless against them.

Therefore, those who were captured by Qitian Pavilion were either very unlucky, not very smart, or had no background, such as independent cultivators.

Another example is the mountain and sea beast, which has intelligence but is worse than a beast without it, and has a head full of love.

Especially the latter, which is the one that Qi Tiange likes to catch the most.

Because there is no worry about sales.

"What's the point of being willing or not? When the imperial edict comes, how can I not accept it?" Tan Shuchang said without hesitation, because he is now a casual cultivator without any background.

"I won't read the imperial edict. After you read it, Brother Tan, please take office as soon as possible." "Take office?" Tan Shuchang took the imperial edict, opened it, and his eyes suddenly became a little strange. He couldn't help but look at the three princes.

"Does the emperor trust me so much? Isn't he afraid that I will avenge my father?" He asked in surprise, because the imperial edict actually gave him the position of "Supervisory Sword Commander".

This position is at the third level in the Qitian Pavilion system.

The first row is the Grand Master of Qitian Pavilion.

The second column is the three deputy masters of this pavilion.

The third row consisted of seven spiritual officials and seven Taoist generals. The spiritual officials were of the same rank as the Taoist generals and were officials of the third rank in the Zixuan Dynasty.

"This is the position proposed by the eldest brother, and also... Brother Tan, please stop joking." These were said by the third prince, and while saying this, he deliberately glanced towards the Black Heart Mountain.

This is obviously not about looking at the mountain, but referring to the black-hearted old man.

Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parents, and Teachers, and in this world of immortal cultivation, the status of a master is sometimes higher than that of a biological father. After all, if the biological father is just a mortal, then all he can give is a flesh and blood body, while the immortal cultivation master who leads him on the path of cultivation can give him a bright future!
And this situation just happens to be consistent with Tan Shuchang's experience.

Tan Shuchang immediately understood what the Third Prince meant. He could not help but remain silent. He thought about it and decided to save his reputation: "I have no choice but to do this..."

"Although we don't know Brother Tan's difficulties, we can understand them." The second prince said immediately, but everyone could tell that he was just being perfunctory.

Hearing this, Tan Shuchang's mouth curled up, and he simply gave up on treatment. So he uttered a sweet word in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said in a gentle tone: "After all, betraying the teacher and destroying the ancestors is the inheritance of our Saint Sect. As a disciple of the Saint Sect, I have no choice but to shoulder this inheritance."

Second Prince: "..."

The third prince: "..."

The Fourth Prince: "..."

Why don't you listen to what you are talking about? The leader of the Demon Sect back then was not as professional as you!
……

At the same time, in Qinghe City, a kind-looking old man who had been following the three princes of Zixuan Dynasty because he had discovered the traces of them, could not help but spit out all the tea he had just drunk after sensing the conversation here.

The old man's action scared the waiter in the teahouse, and he hurried over. Although the old man had a kind face and was easy to talk to, his behavior exuded an indescribable power that put people under great pressure.

Therefore, in the eyes of the waiter in the teahouse, this old man is undoubtedly an important figure.

Even if not, he is still an elder in the world of immortal cultivation.

However, when the waiter was halfway through his journey, the old man waved his hand to stop him.

"My mistakes have nothing to do with you, don't worry about it."

The old man said.

Then he put down the teacup and the silver for payment and walked outside.

“Originally, I wanted to follow the example of the Tan family back then and support the young dragon that had almost no chance of seizing the throne, and help it grow into a real dragon. But now, perhaps passing down the Black Shadow Immortal Secret Book can make my fake death and escape more meaningful…” The old man was tempted to accept a disciple.

Of course, to be precise, he didn't want to accept a disciple, but wanted to pass down the "Secret Book of the Black Shadow Immortal".

After all, in the old man's eyes, someone regarded killing his master as a tradition.

Although he was not afraid, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy...
