I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 14: Qi Refining Seventh Level

During this period, Xiao Liu, also known as Lu Changqing, did not notice that Chen Shen often went to Heaven Burial Mountain at night. He had been busy with his cultivation.

One evening, after finishing his tasks, Chen Shen returned from Cangwu Mountain and saw two fireballs in the pitch-black night sky. Accompanied by a voice of surprise, he heard, "I finally made a breakthrough! Mastery of Fireball Technique!"

Chen Shen raised an eyebrow, and his right hand couldn't help but move. Have you ever seen a Fireball Technique with ten fireballs? No, this shouldn't be called Fireball Technique anymore, it should be called a rocket!

"Junior Brother Chen Shen? Did you go to Cangwu Mountain again?" Lu Changqing didn't think much and had a smile on his face. "Let me tell you, Brother, I have mastered the Fireball Technique. Did you see those two fireballs? Your Sixth Brother did it."

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Lu," Chen Shen smiled.

Half a month later.

During the day, Chen Shen sat cross-legged on the bed, and a faint green lotus appeared around him, with spiritual energy swirling. On the ground, there were scattered spirit stones.

During the day, he dared not absorb the spiritual energy in the air casually, afraid of attracting attention. He used spirit stones and Qi Gathering Pills instead.

Chen Shen extended his hand, and a Creation Pill appeared in his palm, which he then swallowed. The spiritual energy in the room became turbulent, and he was like a hungry whale, inhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Bang!

A sound like a silver bottle breaking suddenly resounded, breaking through the shackles.

He was delighted and quickly examined himself, but he found that his cultivation had not improved. He hadn't made a breakthrough.

At this moment, screams of joy came from the neighbor's house.

Yes, his spiritual perception was too keen. The person who made the breakthrough was Senior Brother Xiao Liu.

Chen Shen walked out of the attic, and Lu Changqing happened to come out from the opposite side.

"Junior Brother Chen, I have reached the late stage of Qi Refining," Lu Changqing said happily.

Chen Shen glanced at him but didn't say anything.

He knew that what Lu Changqing said was reaching the late stage of Qi Refining Level Three.

For those who didn't know, they would think that he had truly reached the late stage of Qi Refining.

"Life is short, so we should enjoy it. Come, let me take you to a restaurant for a good meal," Lu Changqing said happily, putting his arm around Chen Shen's shoulder.

Chen Shen's expression changed, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Senior Brother, I think I'll pass. Heaven Burial Mountain still needs someone to guard it."

"Yes, I was so happy that I forgot about that," Lu Changqing slapped his forehead. "Then I'll bring some food. Today, we won't return until we're drunk."

He was still very loyal, a man of integrity.

Soon, Xiao Liu returned with a lot of fine wine and dishes.

At the dining table, after three rounds of drinking, Chen Shen suddenly asked, "Senior Brother Lu, have you ever been to the Hehuan Tower?"

"Cough cough..." Lu Changqing suddenly started coughing.

What should he do? How should he answer?

He was already in his twenties and had never been there. He had spent the first half of his life studying hard, and after joining the Immortal Sect, he worked hard in mining. He had truly never opened that door.

Soon, Lu Changqing adjusted his expression and slammed the table. "As scholars, we study the righteousness and adhere to the virtues of men. Even if we join the Immortal Sect, our pursuit should be the path of longevity. How can we be bound by love and should not be tempted by the allure of the Hehuan Tower?"

Yes, this answer was great.

"Senior Brother's words make sense," Chen Shen smiled. He had just casually asked, but he didn't expect such a strong reaction. It seemed that he shouldn't bring up this topic next time.

The next day.

Chen Shen successfully reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, smoothly and without danger.

After thirteen months of hard pursuit, he finally reached the realm that outer disciples strive for.

He felt that the spiritual power in his body had become several times stronger, and the power of his Divine Abilities had also greatly increased.

"Now it's time to prepare for Foundation Building," Chen Shen said to himself.

The realm of Qi Refining is divided into twelve levels, but breaking through the seventh level is a major milestone, making the following levels much easier.

So now he should prepare for Foundation Building.

With a medium-grade spiritual root, there is a sixty percent chance of breaking through to Foundation Building.

Chen Shen has a prescription for Foundation Building pills, which can maximize the chances by an additional twenty percent.

An eighty percent probability may seem high, but for someone as cautious as Chen Shen, it is still too low.

There is a legend of a supreme cultivation method that can increase the probability of breaking through, but unfortunately he doesn't have it.

"There is a spiritual object called Tianji Grass that can deepen one's foundation and increase the chances of successfully building the foundation by one percent for the cultivator who consumes it. However, this item is extremely rare and is sold for ten thousand low-grade spirit stones," Chen Shen whispered, recalling the memory of this spiritual object from his experience as a master alchemist.

"A ninety percent chance is still too low. Forget it, I'll cultivate to the twelfth level of Qi Refining perfection first," he shook his head lightly.

Several days passed in a flash.

Drinking alcohol as usual.

"Junior Brother Chen, I recently joined a force," Lu Changqing said mysteriously from across the table.

"A force?" Chen Shen furrowed his brows.

The other person explained with a smile, "I can't say it's a force, but I followed a powerful cultivator along with many other outer disciples. We stick together for warmth, and we have some reputation among the outer disciples."

Oh, so you became someone's lackey.

Chen Shen nodded, understanding the other person's meaning.

"How is the cultivation level of that senior brother?"

Lu Changqing sighed, "He's at the sixth level of Qi Refining and has some reputation among the outer disciples, but I originally wanted to follow someone else, but unfortunately that person wasn't interested."

"That person has a noble identity. I heard he is the grandson of a Gold Core elder. Although his talent is not outstanding, he was sent to the outer sect for training. If I had followed that person, I could have walked sideways in the outer sect."

The outer sect is like a small martial world with intense competition. Small characters like Lu Changqing naturally choose to follow a powerful figure. If they choose the right person, they may achieve great success.

And that grandson of the elder is the person Lu Changqing admires, but unfortunately his cultivation level is a bit low, so the other person isn't interested.

"Senior Brother Lu, why be regretful? With the high cultivation level of the person you are following now, if you enter the top three in the spring competition next year, you will have the protection of an inner disciple," Chen Shen comforted.

"Hmm," Lu Changqing pondered for a moment, then sighed again, "Junior Brother Chen, there is a small secret realm that has opened in the outer sect. We need to go in and gain experience. It's very dangerous inside. Although I am following that senior brother, I don't know if I can come back or if we can drink like this again."

"Life and death are terrifying, and cultivation is a struggle. But sometimes it's necessary to retreat, especially since you have responsibilities at Heaven Burial Mountain. There's no need to go," Chen Shen advised.

During this period of time, he had already considered Lu Changqing as a friend and didn't want to see him get hurt.

Unfortunately, his own strength was weak and he couldn't reveal it, otherwise he would definitely bring him an opportunity even greater than a secret realm.

"I understand," Lu Changqing lowered his head slightly, but quickly raised it again and changed the subject, "But as cultivators, we should fight when necessary. The opportunity is right in front of us, how can we retreat? Besides, the senior brother I'm following has already made arrangements for me. I've registered and can't go back on my word."

"If we choose to seek immortality and become True Immortals, how can we retreat at a critical moment?"

Chen Shen listened quietly, not saying a word. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since Senior Brother is preparing to compete for immortal opportunities, as a junior brother, I can't let you leave without giving you some gifts before you go."

What to give? Of course it's spiritual tools, pills, and talismans!

Do I have them? No!

Then what? Of course, I'll refine them overnight. Otherwise, how can I say it's tomorrow?

How to explain? Don't ask, just say they were left behind by Ma Ru Hai!
