Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Green Lotus Palace, which was said to have been founded by a True Immortal in the early years, once rivaled the renown of the Ancestor of the Dao. But as the latter rose to prominence, the True Immortal seemingly vanished into obscurity.

Led by the divine edict of the Ancestor of the Dao, the Immortal Court later took action. However, as the Green Lotus Palace had rebelled against the Court's jurisdiction numerous times, it was ultimately cast down into the mortal realm by the Court.

Still, a tiger's might persists even in death.

The dilapidated Green Lotus Palace was perpetually enveloped in a multicolored cloud light, which could block any Immortals. Therefore, even cultivators who had achieved the Third Confirmation in their practice had to hold the Green Lotus Order to reach the front of Green Lotus Palace.

At this time, Tan Shuchang had already arrived in front of the Green Lotus Palace. Looking at the multicolored cloud light ahead and the Green Lotus Palace within, grand and towering like a mountain, his heart did not stir in the slightest.

He took out the Green Lotus Order and stepped into the multicolored cloud light.

And then...

Tan Shuchang emerged from the Green Lotus Palace.

The entire visit lasted less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea.

"Fellow Daoist, did you perhaps drop something..." Honglian Carp had accompanied Tan Shuchang there since, although one could visit the Green Lotus Palace with the Green Lotus Order, it had been divided among several True Immortals, and only those from the factions of these True Immortals could cross over.

Therefore, seeing Tan Shuchang enter and exit hastily, Honglian Carp thought the dangers inside were too great, and that Tan Shuchang needed further preparation.

However, while Honglian Carp was still speaking, he saw Tan Shuchang take out three red lotus flowers.

Although these three red lotus flowers looked as if they had been struck by lightning and were thus severely damaged, they were still useful to him.

Because he only needed to cultivate with these red lotus flowers, and whether they were intact was a matter of concern only after he had first achieved Immortality. Until then, even if a red lotus flower was reduced to mere fragments, it could still be used for further cultivation.

"Let's go."

Tan Shuchang said, then added, "Truly, the Green Lotus Palace is perilous."

Out of habitual caution, he had activated his Star Fate Divine Skills before entering. As soon as he entered, lightning appeared, sparse at first but soon becoming a vast expanse of lightning.

And after the lightning, the ground was littered with treasures.

Among them was the main objective of his trip, the treasure, an Alchemy Furnace!

And not just one.

He picked up a total of three.

As for the red lotus flowers needed by his friend Honglian Carp, they were found amidst these treasures. Originally precious herbs, they had taken on their current appearance after being struck by the vital essence of the starry lightning.

The fact was those directly targeted by the columns of lightning were left with nothing but their personal treasures.

It could be said that not a single Body Cultivation practitioner was present. If there were, there was no guarantee of anything else, but it was very likely there would have been some remains or fragments of bodies left.

Since his harmonization with the Second Confirmation, Tan Shuchang's Star Fate Divine Skills had become even more terrifying.

Although Tan Shuchang was currently in a state of balanced strength and had not yet surged to his peak period, his power was definitely in the upper echelon of those who had harmonized their Second Confirmations.

Honglian Carp was still in shock at Tan Shuchang's efficiency. He had found the necessary red lotus flowers within less time than it took to brew a cup of tea?

Honglian Carp wanted to ask if Tan Shuchang had also found the Alchemy Furnaces, but this did not align with his usual caution, so he chose not to pursue the question.

Half a day later, the split paths of the two culminated in their return to the Nangong Family's dominion. Tan Shuchang naturally went to study his Alchemy Path Puppets again.

Meanwhile, barely back in his own abode, Honglian Carp had not even had the chance to engage in banter with his bevy of beautiful maids when he discovered a group of people, full of oppressive energy, blocking his door.

However, upon recognizing one of them as his clan uncle, he felt somewhat relieved and asked, "Uncle, what is the meaning of this? I have been practicing diligently and honestly here all along."

"Have you been to the Green Lotus Palace?" Honglian Carp's clan uncle motioned for him not to panic while inquiring.

"I have just returned."

"Who did you go with?" his clan uncle asked further.

Hearing this, Honglian Carp realized what had transpired and exclaimed in disbelief, "Brother Tan only entered the Green Lotus Palace for less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, what could he possibly have done?"

With that, Honglian Carp instructed one of his maids to fetch the three red lotus flowers.

However, as Honglian Carp was about to point to the marks of damage on the three red lotus flowers to prove that Tan Shuchang had quickly exited after entering, the several people who had come with his clan uncle became agitated.

"It is indeed that scoundrel who caused the death of our young master and his fellow disciples!"

"This was found by our young master, who had specially sealed it with the Fish Pattern Ban. Look, these are the traces left after the Fish Pattern Ban was completely destroyed!"

"And the bases of these three red lotus flowers have a bit of jade powder, its color is bright green, and it subtly contains the essence of longevity. This is from when the Qingling Mountain Jade Box, which preserved this precious medicine, shattered."

The group began to speak all at once.

For a moment, the noise was like that of seven or eight ducks quacking together.

After listening to the commotion, Honglian Carp's clan uncle simply stated, "The Fish Pattern Ban, combining offense and defense. The Qingling Mountain Jade Box, even more capable of condensing the spirit of mountains and rivers within. The lengths you went to to safeguard these three red lotus flowers, you must hold these medicines in high regard."

At his words, the group fell silent, for their previous statements had given them away.
