I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 29: Who Supports and Who Opposes

In a private room of a restaurant, Lu Changqing raised his glass to Jin Aojing and said, "Senior brother, can we make a deal?"

Jin Aojing smiled and replied, "Why do we need to separate ourselves? Just say what you want to say."

Lu Changqing hesitated for a moment and then said, "Can you kill Han Jun for me? I'm willing to give you a share of the benefits from the Sword Dao True Explanation, starting from one-tenth, or even two-tenths or three-tenths if necessary."

After thinking it over, Lu Changqing still couldn't rest easy with Han Jun alive. The night when Han Jun, at the seventh level of Qi Refining, launched a surprise attack was a clear example.

Jin Aojing hesitated for a moment and didn't immediately agree. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "Junior brother Lu, Han Jun is an inner disciple and already an important figure in the sect. If we kill him casually, even with my grandfather backing me, it won't end well. Moreover, there's Cheng Ren as his backer, who isn't afraid of me. If I kill Han Jun, Cheng Ren will come to kill you, and I won't be able to stop it. I think you should consider this matter carefully, or wait until you reach the same level as Han Jun and have a life-and-death battle."

The control over conflicts above the inner sect was very strict. If there was a deep grudge between two parties, they could only engage in a life-and-death battle.

But the premise of this rule was that both parties had to be at the same level, which was for the sake of fairness. Otherwise, a one-sided life-and-death battle would be unnecessary.

Moreover, there was a second condition for opening the battle, which was that each side needed to pay a fee of one hundred thousand spirit stones.

The sect didn't set this condition to collect fees, but rather to discourage life-and-death battles among higher-level disciples and prevent the loss of talents.

The struggles in the cultivation world were generally for the sake of benefits, and there were rarely deep grudges such as wiping out a whole family or snatching a wife. Why would two sides need one hundred thousand spirit stones? There were better things to do than engage in a life-and-death battle.

Cultivation wasn't just about fighting and killing; there was also the pursuit of immortality.

What? Are you questioning Lin Shujin, the goddess Lin? Asking why Lin Shujin dared to go on a killing spree in the inner sect without punishment?

May I ask if you are the most talented person in the entire Cangwu Immortal Sect? No.

Do you have the qualifications of Nascent Soul or Soul Formation? It's quite doubtful, isn't it? Don't stare at me like that, it's not true.

Very well, no lies.

Were you at the ninth level of Foundation Building or even ranked as a Gold Core True Immortal at the age of only twenty-three?

What kind of joke are you making? At that time, I was still mining in the mine and even found a huge spirit stone, which earned me a reward of a big chicken leg from the steward.

Did you grow up in the Cangwu Immortal Sect, where the sect is your home, and have a Gold Core master as your mother? I came from the mortal world!

Do you have Lin Shujin's peerless beauty? Objection, this question is irrelevant to the current argument. Please ask again.

Objection sustained.

The Q&A session is over. Who supports and who opposes? Silence filled the room.

"Alright." Lu Changqing nodded. It seemed that his plan had failed, and he could only face it head-on.

Several days passed, and the outer sect competition finally came to an end.

Lu Changqing, with his invincible talent, took first place and was promoted to the inner sect.

He announced that the sword technique he used had been included in the Scripture Pavilion and could be exchanged by all outer sect disciples with contribution points.

For a while, the Sword Dao True Explanation caused a sensation in the outer sect.

Many wealthy disciples exchanged for it and praised this sword technique, saying it was incredibly powerful and surpassed all the Divine Abilities and spells that could be cultivated in the outer sect.

Heaven Burial Mountain.

Chen Shen and Lu Changqing drank until they were heavily intoxicated. Lu Changqing, after downing several bowls of wine, happily said, "Junior brother, as a humble scholar, I never thought I would be promoted to the inner sect one day, and so quickly at that."

"The fortunes and misfortunes of life are unpredictable. Senior brother, your future is bright, and you will surely achieve great things."

Chen Shen smiled.

At the same time, at the peak of the First Peak.

"Man'er, today I will hand over the affairs of the sect to you, and let Uncle Teng assist you. I hope you will do your best and not let the sect fall into chaos."

Ye Chen stood at the edge of the cliff, playing with a jade pendant in his hand, his gaze distant.

Behind him, Ye Shuangman knelt on the ground, respectfully saying, "Father, rest assured, I will manage the sect well and lead it to prosperity and flourishing."

Ye Chen shook his head and admonished, "Don't just talk empty words. The development of the sect is not something that can be achieved overnight. I only hope that you will remain humble and steady in the few years that I am away."

"Father's teachings are well-received. I will personally take care of everything and handle all matters."

The head of the Ye family nodded, and finally said, "That's good. I don't know when I will return from my journey. Remember not to reveal anything about my trip to the Immortal Mansion. Keep it a secret."

"I will obey, Father." Ye Shuangman kowtowed, but when he looked up, he found that Ye Chen had already disappeared.

"Young Master, it's time to announce the sect master's seclusion."

Behind him, a black-robed old man suddenly appeared, his voice cold and sinister.

A few days later, Lu Changqing completed all the procedures for entering the inner sect and returned to Heaven Burial Mountain.

Generally, the inner sect of spiritual cultivation is located at the First Peak, where the spiritual energy is several times denser than that of Cangwu Mountain and Heaven Burial Mountain.

But he still felt that Heaven Burial Mountain was the peaceful place. After all, he didn't lack spiritual stones, and it didn't matter where he cultivated.

"By the way, the Supreme Sect Master has gone into seclusion, and the position has been handed over to the Young Sect Master Ye Shuangman to manage the affairs of the sect."

Lu Changqing told Chen Shen this news.

"I see." The latter furrowed his brows slightly. He knew Ye Shuangman's secret.

He didn't know if the other party had changed his temperament and could handle everything in the sect.

"I heard from Jin Ao that after the death of the Ye family's ancestor, many Gold Core elders began to voice their dissatisfaction. They were not convinced by the Ye family's dominance. And this time, with the Sect Master going into seclusion and Ye Shuangman taking charge of everything, it is very likely to cause chaos."

"In that case, Senior Brother should be careful not to take sides and cultivate in a low-key manner."

Chen Shen smiled and didn't pay much attention. It didn't matter who held power. Whether it was chaotic or stable, it made no difference to him.

He was just a diligent corpse collector, before, now, and in the future.

If there were really chaos and deaths, it would be a good harvest for him.

"Hey, I regret not listening to you last time and causing trouble. From now on, I will definitely keep a low profile. And now, I only want to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining as soon as possible and kill Han Jun. I won't care about anything else."

Lu Changqing nodded and said again, "Also, shortly after the Outer Sect Grand Competition, there will be a ceremony for accepting disciples in the sect. I heard from Sun Steward that Heaven Burial Mountain should be allocated two corpse collectors."

Cangwu Xianzong accepts disciples once every three years, and it has been more than two and a half years since the last time.

Chen Shen's original body was brought here during that disciple acceptance ceremony.

"They will allocate two more?" Chen Shen looked puzzled.

"Of course, originally I was brought here as a punishment, and two corpse collectors were enough. But I am no longer a person with a guilty conscience, and I have been promoted to the inner sect. The sect naturally wouldn't consider me as a corpse collector.

I am only staying here because of you, it can be considered as temporary. The sect will definitely find one or two assistants for you, otherwise, you might not be able to handle everything alone.

Of course, now that I am here, you don't have to worry."

Lu Changqing smiled.

Sorry for the delay.

Please collect and recommend.
