I'm a demon cultivator

Chapter 32: Protecting One's Family, Principles of Life

It is a good habit to plan before taking action. Tan Shuchang never thought that he had extraordinary wisdom, so all he could do was to carefully list everything he could think of.

From the power structure of Luozhou to the various interest chains formed around the ten sacred mountains and mines in various places.

The latter cannot be ignored.

Because Luozhou is one of the two states with the most gold in the Jiawu Realm, the other one is called Yulingzhou, which is not under the rule of the Zixuan Dynasty and can be regarded as a foreign land in various senses.

There are two places in the world with the most officials.

One is Jingzhou, after all, it is the center of the court, and all decisions in the world come from Jingzhou. The other is Luozhou.

There are one hundred and thirty-seven cities in Luozhou, and as long as you can control any one of them, you can obtain at least five thousand Shangxuan Seals every year.

If the looting is ruthless enough, it is possible that the number could be tens of thousands.

You know, five thousand Shangxuan Seals are not a small amount. To cure Tan Shuchang's fundamental injuries, using the most precious medicines in the world, it only cost about two hundred Shangxuan Seals.

The price of a lower realm magic weapon is usually around five hundred Shangxuan Seals.

It is not difficult to organize the information in Luozhou, because although those who practice cultivation cannot claim to have photographic memory, most of them have extraordinary memory.

Tan Shuchang walked towards Luozhou.

But on this day, when he was passing through a city, he was stopped by the local county magistrate and his men.

As if he was afraid that he could not stop Tan Shuchang, the county magistrate even pulled out the mountain and sea beasts guarding the city. It was a dragon with a single horn and a snake body. When it swam, the ground turned directly into a swamp, and the sound of thunder continued to sound from the void.

This is the Shuize Mountain Thunder Dragon, a spiritual species that is born with the power of magic, technique, and strength. Its intelligence is no less than that of a child right after birth.

If you live more than sixty years, you will become extremely cunning.

However, despite its nature being cunning, this water mountain thunder dragon is actually a rare mountain and sea beast that is naturally friendly to humans.

Because it mingles with human society, it is of great help to the growth of this Shuizeshan Thunder Dragon.

Originally, it would take a decade to grow, but after a long time of interacting with people, it might only take thirty years. Especially for the Shuizeshan Leijiao who mixed in the officialdom, it didn't even take half a decade, just ten or twenty years.

So over time, Shuizeshan Leijiao became a standard general in the imperial court.

Of course, don't hold too much hope for this evil beast, because as long as the Shuize Mountain Thunder Dragon finds that the opponent is too strong, or there is a high probability that it will be injured, it will immediately run away.

The stronger the Shuizeshan Thunder Dragon is, the faster and earlier it will escape.

On the contrary, only those water and mountain thunder dragons that were born just a few years ago would rush forward after roaring.

"What does the county magistrate want to do?" Tan Shuchang looked at the Shuize Mountain Thunder Dragon. His expression did not change at all, but he couldn't help but recalling something in his eyes, because when he was still in the Tan family, he had a very good relationship with a Shuize Mountain Thunder Dragon. If he hadn't never drunk, he might have become sworn brothers with that Shuize Mountain Thunder Dragon.

"Greetings, General Jiandao! The three princes have instructed that if you pass by here, you can use the 'Shui Lingzun' here and go directly to the headquarters of Qitian Pavilion in Luozhou." The county magistrate said hurriedly.

Although the Sword Supervisor belonged to the Qitian Pavilion system, he also had a clear official rank in the imperial court, so the county magistrate looked extremely terrified at this moment.

Tan Shuchang's expression froze for a moment, then he looked directly at the county magistrate and was about to find a reason to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, Tan Shuchang changed his mind and said that he wanted to rest for a few hours and then use "Shui Lingzun" to continue his journey at night.

The county magistrate naturally had no objection and hurried to prepare for Tan Shuchang.

Because the journey from here to the main pavilion of Qitian Pavilion in Luozhou is extremely long, it is necessary to use the "Shui Ling Zun" continuously, so it is necessary to contact and communicate with Tan Shuchang in advance and leave him a few hours of shuttle time. As soon as these people left, Tan Shuchang disappeared instantly.

Because just before that, the scene around him had already begun to distort. Tan Shuchang immediately used the Impermanence Order to delay the time for himself to be "invited" into the game copy.

After all, as an insider of the weird game, although I don’t have any special privileges, I still have some small rights.

These little "privileges" will only take effect after being invited to the weird game.

This time, when entering the copy of the weird game, it still started with a dark scene all around, just like in the past. However, what was different from the past was that Tan Shuchang got an option.

"The existence of the Impermanence Order has been detected, and a special situation has been initiated."

"1. You can choose to join the evil ghost butcher camp and help the evil ghost kill more than ten players according to its killing rules, which will be considered the victory of the game."

"Second, you can choose to join the evil ghost's defected ghost officer camp, persuade the defected ghost officer to surrender, and help him successfully complete the surrender queue. If he is detained by General Huai of Langshou Ghost City, it will be considered the victory of the game."

"Third, you can choose to join the Ghost Scholar camp. As the number one lackey of the Lord of Langshou Ghost City, and a person with a deep grudge against General Huai, the Ghost Scholar comes here specifically to cause trouble! If you can sabotage General Huai's detention, you will win the game. But at the same time, there is a certain chance that you will be hated by the Ghost Butcher and hunted down by General Huai."

After hearing this, Tan Shuchang did not hesitate and directly chose number three.

After all, why wouldn’t you help your own people?

What's more, Tan has always been a person who helps his relatives instead of others. Protecting one's relatives is one of Tan Shuchang's major principles in life.

After Tan Shuchang made his choice, the voice that could not be distinguished between male and female and had no emotion at all told him to wait where he was, saying that the evil ghost scholar would come to find him.

Soon, Tan Shuchang saw the familiar scholar ghost.

Naturally, this dog-headed military advisor also saw him.

"Lord City Lord?" The Ghost Scholar was stunned. He only knew that a flesh and blood player chose to help him, but he really didn't know who this flesh and blood player was.

But soon, the ghost scholar became excited.

"Sir, are we finally going to take action against General Huai, who is a traitor to his superiors?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Let me ask you, how many evil spirits are there in this copy? And how many evil spirits can be missing?" Tan Shuchang signaled his dog-headed military advisor to be patient.

"Reporting to the Lord City Lord, once multiple factions appear in a camp, it means that the whole group may be wiped out. This whole group is not only about the flesh and blood players, but also the evil spirits."

Upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang naturally became a little excited.

Can evil spirits be wiped out?

He took all the evil spirits away, so that should be considered a total annihilation, right?
So he asked again: "How many evil spirits are there in this instance?"

"Including my subordinates and masters, there are eleven now." The ghost scholar replied quickly.

Tan Shuchang was silent for a moment: "..."

Then he said to the evil spirit expressionlessly: "Next time when you calculate something like this, don't count me in. Just count yourself."

"Yes, sir, I obey."
