I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 21: Grandmaster of Alchemy, Qi Refining Level Eleven

"For now, this is the best we can do. We'll deal with the situation as it comes," Lu Changqing said with a relaxed attitude.

"We can only do it this way," Chen Shen nodded in agreement.

In the blink of an eye, two more months had passed.

During these two months, Lu Changqing had managed to avoid any major trouble. Occasionally, he would have conflicts with Han Jun's people and return to Heaven Burial Mountain with injuries. But it wasn't a big problem. Ever since the disciples of the Formation Peak set up two layers of formations in his house, Lu Changqing had spent a large amount of spirit stones to set up a Spirit Gathering formation for himself.

As the grandson of Gold Core, Jin Ao, Lu Changqing was treated well by his subordinates and had a lot of benefits, so he was considered wealthy. Moreover, he had changed a lot compared to before. He no longer indulged in a life of pleasure and had started to work hard to improve his cultivation.

In just a few months, his cultivation had reached the Fourth Stage of Qi Refining, which was considered complete.

As for Chen Shen, he naturally acted cautiously and worked hard to improve his cultivation. With a slightly higher level of resources than the inner disciples, he had raised his cultivation to the late stage of the Eleventh Level of Qi Refining, just a step away from completion.

In the two years he had been in the Cangwu Immortal Sect, his cultivation progress was not considered high, but it was not slow either. Among all the disciples, his cultivation speed was considered top-notch.

At this point, there might be some doubts.

Can someone with a medium-grade spiritual root be considered to have the fastest cultivation speed? The answer is yes.

Oh? Why?

Because almost everyone in the Cangwu Immortal Sect has a medium-grade or lower-grade spiritual root.

Really? The Cangwu Immortal Sect covers an area of thousands of miles, dominates several kingdoms, and can be considered vast and rich. Are there no geniuses born there? The answer is obvious.

Then why is that?

Because they are weak.

Huh? Monopoly, you fool!

Of course, they were taken over by even more formidable immortal sects, every time!

So, does the Cangwu Immortal Sect have any top-tier geniuses with high-grade spiritual roots? Chen Shen raised his hand to answer, Lin Shujin, the goddess of the sect!

Very well, please take a seat!

---

On this day, Heaven Burial Mountain was covered in white snow.

The burial was successful!

He obtained the Dharma Gate, gained immortal cultivation experience, and acquired the experience of a Grandmaster of Alchemy!

He obtained the formulas for True Yuan Pills, Spirit Gathering Pills, Qi Refining Powder, Dust-Reducing Pills, and Longevity Pills.

He also obtained some spiritual roots, breaking through to the mid-stage of the medium-grade level!

Chen Shen received the rewards from the system and a smile appeared on his lips.

It had been almost a year, and he had finally caught a big fish!

The experience package of an Alchemy Grandmaster was incomparable to that of a quasi-grandmaster. The techniques and quality of alchemy were far superior.

When an Alchemy Grandmaster refined pills such as Qi Gathering Pills and Blood Qi Pills, they were basically of perfect quality, and their selling price would increase by seventy to eighty percent.

Moreover, his knowledge of pharmacology had increased significantly. He had become acquainted with more rare treasures of the world and had mastered many advanced pill formulas.

What surprised him the most was that his spiritual root had actually broken through to the mid-stage.

This Grandmaster was not a Qi Refining expert, but only had a cultivation base at the early stage of Foundation Building. He had lived for over two hundred years and died when his lifespan was exhausted.

It seemed that it was due to his accumulation of collecting corpses over time that he had made this breakthrough.

But with this, his cultivation speed would increase again.

"It just so happens that I'm running out of pills. Let's try the methods of a Grandmaster," Chen Shen murmured softly.

"Let's go, it's a cold winter's day, time to drink!" Lu Changqing said beside him.

He rarely went out now, either being ordered around by Jin Ao or taking care of some matters. Otherwise, he would be hiding in Heaven Burial Mountain, diligently cultivating. But he still drank with Chen Shen on a daily basis.

"Then let's have a drink with the famous Madame Bao," Chen Shen joked.

"..." Lu Changqing.

In order to earn more spirit stones, he had started to attract other customers. Surprisingly, it was quite profitable.

The two of them set up a table on the snowy ground, brought out fine wine and dishes, and enjoyed a hearty meal.

At night, Chen Shen hid in the underground palace to refine pills.

He had already prepared the materials earlier, so now was the perfect time to try his hand.

After fifteen minutes, Chen Shen successfully refined a batch of Qi Gathering Pills, reducing the time it took to refine pills by half.

He took out a pill, and immediately a fragrant aroma filled the air. The surface of the pill was a faint golden color.

It was simply perfect in terms of color, fragrance, and taste.

"Is this the perfect quality Spirit Gathering Pill?" Chen Shen smiled and carefully observed it.

Then, he continued refining pills.

Three days later, Chen Shen took over a thousand perfect pills to the Pill Hall and Pill Treasure Pavilion to sell.

It's worth mentioning that the price of perfect quality pills is much higher, and he earned nearly twenty thousand spirit stones.

In the past, it would have taken him almost half a month to earn this much.

The terrifying skill of a master alchemist!

Since he achieved the status of a master alchemist, Chen Shen began refining higher-level pills.

He chose one from the pill formulas in his mind, the Spirit Gathering Pill.

This is a pill that Foundation Building experts consume, and its price is much higher than that of the Spirit Gathering Pill.

However, Chen Shen earned more spirit stones from it, and he even tried consuming the Spirit Gathering Pill.

The spiritual energy was terrifying and more refined, but it was a bit difficult for someone with Qi Refining cultivation to consume it. It could potentially damage their foundation.

Chen Shen had no choice but to give up and honestly refine the Spirit Gathering Pill to assist in his cultivation.

One month later, he successfully advanced to the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Meanwhile, the conflict between Lu Changqing and Han Jun intensified, and it even affected Chen Shen.

One night, two Qi Refining experts at the sixth level and five at the fifth level attacked Lu Changqing.

It's unclear what was wrong with these people; they always judged others based on the luxury of their houses.

Clearly, they came to attack Lu Changqing, but they always ended up at his doorstep by mistake.

While Lu Changqing was cultivating beautifully, Chen Shen had to silently watch them break the formation.

Half an hour later, he threw the bodies in front of the neighboring house and returned to the underground palace to continue his diligent cultivation.

Time passed once again, and another month went by.

Boom!

A familiar sound came from within his body. Chen Shen finally broke through and advanced to the eleventh level of Qi Refining!

He felt the terrifying spiritual power emanating from his body, and his sense of security increased.

At the peak of the first peak, inside the wooden house.

Ye Qiu Xian lay on the bed, his vitality fading, nearing the end of his life.

In front of his bed, two people half-knelt.

One was a middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion and thunderous power in his eyes, as if he could destroy everything with a glance. He was an extraordinary person.

Naturally, he was the current Supreme Elder of the Cangwu Immortal Sect, Ye Chen.

The other was a young man, his son, Ye Shuang Man.

Ye Qiu Xian looked at the most outstanding father and son and weakly said, "You are my most outstanding descendants. I entrust the Cangwu Sect to you, and I can rest assured."

"Elder, rest assured, my father and I will manage the Cangwu Immortal Sect well and make it flourish, so that the name of Cangwu will be renowned among the hundred nations." Ye Shuang Man vowed confidently.

The old man looked at him and shook his head. "Making it flourish is a joke. I only hope that Cangwu can be smoothly passed down in your hands."

As the strength of each peak grows, more and more people doubt the existence of Ye's Gold Core True Immortal. The Ye family's dominance for five hundred years has already made many people dissatisfied. But with me around, they dare not voice their opinions and can only keep their grievances to themselves.

But once I die, these dissatisfactions will definitely emerge.

That's why I brought you here. There are two things I want to discuss!"

"Elder, please speak," Ye Chen respectfully said.

Ye Qiu Xian looked at Ye Shuang Man and then turned to Ye Chen. "What is your current cultivation level?"

Boom!

As he finished speaking, a terrifying aura filled the entire room.

Ye Shuang Man immediately felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, but then Ye Chen retracted all his aura, concealing his spiritual power.

Ye Qiu Xian nodded. "Gold Core eighth level, not bad."

"Of course, my father is the number one person below the Elder!" Ye Shuang Man proudly said.

"No, Elder Zhi Jian is also at this level." Ye Qiu Xian shook his head.

"What?" Hearing this, not only Ye Shuang Man but even Ye Chen, who had always been calm, showed surprise.

The old man looked at their expressions and didn't mind. "That kid indeed has excellent talent. Don't be surprised. That's also the reason why I brought you here."

Saying that, he reached into his trembling old hand and took out a jade pendant from his chest. "This is my greatest opportunity, the Violet Palace Immortal Fate. Unfortunately, when I obtained it, I had already exceeded the age limit."

He handed the jade pendant to Ye Chen. "Take it with you and go to the Tianjian Sect. There is an Immortal Mansion opening there. If you are lucky, you may have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in a short time."

Ye Chen received it with both hands, even though he had been in a superior position for a long time as the head of a sect, he couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.

A chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Ye Shuang Man looked at the token with envy and dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Ye Qiu Xian looked at his great-grandson. "In the Cangwu Sect, there are currently three people with the most hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. The third is Elder Zhi Jian, the second is Ye Chen, who has just obtained the jade pendant, and the first is that talented girl, Lin Shujin, who has received the true inheritance.

So, Shuang Man, I hope you can become her Dao companion!"
