I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 2: Three Months, Completing the Spiritual Roots

Due to Chen Shen's experience in the immortal path, consolidating his realm did not take much time. Everything went smoothly.

He walked out of the room, pushed open the dilapidated door, and stepped into the snowy white land.

Today is the day to receive his salary at the beginning of the month.

Cangwu Sect is like a large company, with the Sect Master as the CEO, the elders and the supreme elders as board members, the peak masters as high-level executives, and the inner disciples as middle-level employees. The miscellaneous disciples are probationary employees.

Chen Shen's identity is equivalent to an outer disciple, considered a formal employee. Even though he appears to be an ordinary person, he can still receive a salary.

Although this position is not taken seriously due to its uniqueness, Chen Shen likes it very much. He can live a peaceful life and still receive a salary. How great is that?

Snowflakes continuously fell from the sky, lightly brushing against Chen Shen's face. He gently patted them away and stepped onto the enormous sky bridge.

He had the memories of the original owner, so he was familiar with the sect. However, for him now, this was the first time he stepped onto the sky bridge and entered the inner part of Cangwu Sect.

Connected to Heaven Burial Mountain is Cangwu Mountain, where the outer disciples gather and where many matters of the sect converge.

Standing on the sky bridge, Chen Shen looked at both sides of Cangwu Mountain. Countless ethereal and majestic peaks rose from the ground, like pillars supporting the sky.

These were the main peaks where the elite members of Cangwu Immortal Sect gathered, as well as the places where the outer disciples flocked to.

Chen Shen walked across the sky bridge, dispersing the clouds and mist surrounding Cangwu Mountain, revealing a lively and fantastical scene.

Disciples flew on their swords in the sky, and powerful experts streaked across like rainbows. Rows of immortal cranes hung in the sky.

On the opposite side, groups of disciples from the immortal sect walked by, bustling with activity.

Following his memories, Chen Shen walked towards the outer disciples' management office without paying much attention, blending in with the other disciples.

When he arrived at the place to receive his salary, he found that it was already overcrowded, with several long queues.

For most disciples without innate talent, the spiritual stones distributed as salary were like gold and silver in the eyes of ordinary people. They were the best supplement for their cultivation.

The entire Cangwu Sect was not lacking in spiritual energy, and each peak had abundant spiritual energy. However, spiritual stones formed naturally were still superior to spiritual energy. Spiritual stones not only contained pure spiritual energy but also increased the cultivation speed of cultivators.

The speed brought about by spiritual stones was not much for those with outstanding talent, but it was a lifeline for low-level cultivators, especially for Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Chen Shen joined the end of one of the queues. At this moment, he sensed a group of people approaching this queue.

Among them, one person stood out, emitting a very powerful aura.

Many people turned their heads to look, but Chen Shen did not.

He stole a glance at the group after they passed by him, then lowered his head.

"Move aside!" Suddenly, a cultivator among them reached out and forcibly pulled someone from the front of the line, then respectfully let the leader stand in their place.

"Why are you squeezing? Move back!" The person scolded the people behind him. A group of lackeys stood behind the leader.

These people dared not speak out of anger and retreated. As for the unlucky person who was pulled out, they rejoined the queue with an unpleasant expression, not daring to say a word.

"Zhou Zheng, you're still bullying the weak!" On the other side, a cultivator with a strong aura sneered.

Chen Shen still kept his head lowered, not looking forward.

Zhou Zheng, the leader, calmly looked at the person and didn't care at all. "You better not encounter me in the Grand Competition next spring!"

"If it weren't for your brother in the inner sect, you would have been buried last year, not next year." The cultivator mocking Zhou Zheng shook his head disdainfully.

Not long after, Chen Shen received his salary, five low-grade spiritual stones. Although he saw that other outer disciples received ten stones, he didn't complain.

After receiving the spiritual stones, Chen Shen didn't stay and quickly walked towards Heaven Burial Mountain.

He felt tense all over, afraid that someone would come looking for trouble.

Fortunately, everything was fine until he stepped into Heaven Burial Mountain, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

After returning to the thatched house, Chen Shen took out the spirit stone to examine it.

"The spiritual power is so pure." He could clearly feel the heavy aura emitted by the ordinary-looking stone.

Chen Shen directly crushed the spirit stone, and instantly, a majestic spiritual energy filled the entire room.

He took a deep breath and immediately felt a slight improvement in his cultivation, and the speed at which his dantian absorbed spiritual energy also increased.

Crack!

Chen Shen directly crushed the remaining four stones, then sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

Time flew by like a white horse, and three months passed in an instant. The cold winter faded away, and the season of rejuvenation arrived.

On Heaven Burial Mountain, the spring breeze gently blew, and the drizzle fell silently.

Chen Shen stood in front of a newly erected grave, receiving rewards from the system.

Obtained techniques: Cangwu Immortal Art, 5th layer; Fireball Technique; Wind Control Technique.

Obtained partial spiritual roots.

In these three months, Chen Shen buried and collected the bodies of hundreds of people, but unfortunately, he did not acquire any powerful divine abilities.

Most of these deceased were low-level disciples of the outer sect, so they didn't have the qualifications to learn powerful spells.

The disciple he buried today had the highest cultivation level in the past three months.

However, the accumulation over the past three months yielded decent results in various aspects.

Firstly, in terms of cultivation techniques, he now possessed the 5th layer of Qi Refining technique and immortal cultivation experience, which was very valuable for the current Chen Shen.

Secondly, in terms of offensive spells, combining the insights from hundreds of people on the basic Fireball Technique, Chen Shen had already mastered it perfectly.

It could be said that he was unmatched in the field of Fireball Technique.

As for the Wind Control Technique, he absorbed the experiences of more than thirty cultivators. Although he had a thorough understanding, he still fell slightly short of mastery, only reaching the stage of great accomplishment.

Regrettably, Chen Shen did not obtain any other immortal skills, such as refining tools, alchemy, or formation talismans.

Especially formations, Chen Shen was particularly eager to learn concealment formations and the Spirit Gathering Formation was also among his desired goals.

Boom!

At this moment, he suddenly felt a movement within his body.

The spiritual roots that determined his talent had been replenished and became complete.

"So this is a complete low-grade spiritual root?" Chen Shen was overjoyed, realizing that the connection between himself and the world had become even closer.

After three months of cultivation, his current cultivation level was at the 3rd layer of Qi Refining. Originally, according to his estimation, it would probably take two to three months to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

But now, with the completion of his spiritual roots and the combination of immortal cultivation experience, he could probably achieve the mid-stage in just one month, or even less.

The next day.

Chen Shen opened his eyes from cultivation, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The speed of absorbing spiritual energy had indeed increased significantly. He could almost feel the enhancement of his cultivation with his naked eyes.

After tidying up his clothes, he walked out of the house.

Someone had arrived!

Chen Shen stood at the door and saw a tall and sturdy man walking towards his thatched house.

This person was wearing a white robe of the outer sect, with a hint of a fierce aura on his face, making him look difficult to deal with.
