Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Exploring the Fourth Realm, which seemed very much like a job, naturally did not excite Tan Someone, who only ever moved money. Though there were fierce ghosts to be obtained, the trouble was certainly going to be significant.

And who knows, he might even encounter another authority hound like the Black King.

If it were a matter of personal strength, Tan Someone would have nothing to fear, but if the other side had authority on their side, only those with a hard head would engage them in a contest.

But now, even if there were an authority dog in his way, Tan Shuchang would have to swallow them whole.

A thousand years of cultivation, embracing the heavens' will, stepping into that incredible near-immortal domain where one almost achieves everlasting life in an era where it cannot be fully attained!

With this in mind, Tan Shuchang's thoughts shifted, causing the only official website of that weird game to materialize.

As he entered, Tan Shuchang was taken aback.

Because he realized he was actually the top news on the official website, and nearly half of the webpage was related to him.

For example, the battle to become king, would Lang Shou Ghost Master be successful?

Another example, would the Lang Shou King recruit living (flesh and blood) players to be ghost envoys? In this discussion section, what normal players saw was the phrase "living players," while fierce ghosts and those who had successfully performed possession saw the words flesh and blood players.

At that moment, a line of scarlet text popped up, catching Tan Shuchang's attention.

This red text read— "Impossible to succeed, because the Living Dead Yin God, Death-speaking Yin God, Silent Death Yin God, Yin God of life and death, Death-permitting Yin God will never allow the fourth king to emerge. Moreover, although the King of Land Destruction and the Black King from the three realms do want a fourth king, they are unable to lend a hand due to some reasons!"

This was clearly stated by an informed ghost or to be precise, an informed individual who had successfully possessed a corpse.

Tan Shuchang pondered; he hadn't expected that both the King of Land Destruction and the Black King were allies, which inevitably made him think of the Greedy Venerable King.

This was the third and final king of the three realms: the King of the Realm of Desire Serpents!

And the scarlet text did not even mention him, so it was clear that he also did not want Tan Shuchang to succeed in becoming king.

"A single general's success is built atop a mountain of bones, so it's justifiable for me to devour ten thousand ghosts, right?"

With that thought, Tan Shuchang started searching for information on the Greedy Venerable King.

But unfortunately, he found nothing.

The King of Land Destruction and the Black King, on the other hand, he did find some information on, but it was all records of their sudden appearances to halt the slaughter of players by fierce ghosts. As a result, these two had very good reputations among the living players.

There were even seven players who had been mentored by the King of Land Destruction and had even received the summoning tokens of the four major ghosts under the king's command.

This was a wonderful object that could enhance one's self through the help of fierce ghosts without any side effects.

Even with the "Lang Shou Ghost Lord Technique" now widely disseminated, these summoning tokens were still considered the best means of saving one's life and enhancing power.

Out of curiosity, Tan Shuchang also searched for the names of these seven players, and then he was taken by surprise.

Because these seven were precisely the "City Lord's disciples" he had created on a whim.

"So this is how the 'Sevenfold Demonic Body Scripture' was spread out?" Tan Shuchang was surprised, as he had previously thought that it was due to the vast powers of this weird game.

"Then, perhaps I can ask this individual, how to counter the Greedy Venerable King's authority?"

Such authority was too unanswerable, and finding a counter would undoubtedly be best. After all, just like the Black King, who could simply take back the fierce ghosts and then kick him out of this weird game, he had no way to stop it.

So, Tan Shuchang took out that shining gold Impermanence Order.

Once he became a candidate for the Lang Shou King, this token gained an additional function; he could use it to post a notice for recruiting ghost envoys on the only official website of the weird game.

For such recruitment, a salary had to be provided, and it couldn't be deducted. However many you wished to recruit, you had to submit the full amount of salary first, and then the weird game would distribute it until he officially became king.

As for whether to employ fierce ghosts or players as ghost envoys, that was entirely at his discretion. However, without a doubt, recruiting the former was more cost-effective since the power of fierce ghosts far exceeded that of players.

But this time, Tan Shuchang was recruiting players.

That was because the salary for fierce ghosts was too high; if that sum could be replaced by using the Mysterious Great Seal, then Tan Shuchang could afford to pay that salary. But if he had to use the currency of yin virtue from this weird game...

If the yin virtue bamboo slips from the Land of Yin and Darkness were common currency, then he'd have a couple.

But if not, then he would be penniless.

Yet when it came to recruiting players, the salary aspect could be completely defined by Tan Shuchang himself. As long as the players accepted it, even if he made up a "Lang Shou Ghost Master money," it could be counted as salary.

But this pleasant thought of freeloading could only swirl in his mind, so Tan Shuchang chose three methods of salary payment.

The first was to listen to his personal teachings, elaborating in detail on the practice of the "Lang Shou Ghost Lord Technique."

The second was one-on-one mentoring, allowing a limited time to ask him a set number of questions.

The third was a kind of divine pill that could accelerate one's cultivation.

Among them, the third was undoubtedly the most precious, for Tan Shuchang didn't have many in his possession. The reason he could offer them as salary was because he had found quite a few in the emperor's palace.
