I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 3: The New Corpse Collector

"Are you Chen Shen?" Ma Ru Hai walked up, his face cold, and asked.

"It's me." Chen Shen slightly bowed, innocently asking, "May I ask, senior brother, did you come to deliver a corpse?"

"I'm not here to deliver you!" It seemed that mentioning this made the other person unhappy. Ma Ru Hai almost cursed, but he held back and replied coldly.

"Continue." Without waiting for Chen Shen to ask again, the other person directly threw a bell at him and said, "This is a pair of bells. The previous one broke, so take this new one and put it in a prominent place or tie it around your waist. From now on, listen for the bell to collect corpses."

Chen Shen took the bell curiously and looked at it. He suddenly remembered the old bell he had played with before.

So this thing is used for communication tools. But he has been here for three months, why didn't anyone tell him?

No, it seems like no one knows him.

"In the future, I will also live on Heaven Burial Mountain." Ma Ru Hai said, looking at Chen Shen carefully. "Why didn't you go to collect spirit stones yesterday? Otherwise, Sun Steward should have told you about my arrival."

"I forgot." Chen Shen said regretfully.

Not only did he not go yesterday, he didn't go last month either, and he doesn't plan to go in the future.

"Senior brother, let's go inside and talk. I'll make a pot of hot tea for you." Chen Shen smiled and invited the other person.

But Ma Ru Hai didn't move, or rather, he didn't want to have too much interaction with an ordinary person without cultivation.

He looked at Chen Shen's dilapidated house and turned around to leave.

Chen Shen saw that the other person walked into a small grove about half a mile away.

After a while, Ma Ru Hai came out carrying five long tree trunks.

"Building a house?" Chen Shen walked over.

In fact, there are two dilapidated thatched houses on Heaven Burial Mountain, built by the previous corpse collectors. But it is obvious that neither his own house nor the one in another place caught Ma Ru Hai's eye, so he plans to build his own.

This also indicates that Ma Ru Hai intends to stay with him for a long time and become colleagues.

Chen Shen walked into the grove and saw many neatly cut and smooth wooden pillars on the ground.

The construction skills of cultivators are extraordinary, even better than chainsaws.

He lifted a long pillar and walked towards Ma Ru Hai's chosen location.

It has to be said that Ma Ru Hai looks like a rough man, but he has a good eye.

The location he chose is about a mile away from Chen Shen's house.

There is a small bridge and flowing water nearby, with withered vines and old trees, making the scenery quite charming.

"Hoo~" Chen Shen walked over, swaying with a large piece of wood, his face turning red.

After putting it down, he gasped heavily, his cheeks covered in sweat, looking completely exhausted.

Ma Ru Hai glanced coldly at Chen Shen and didn't let him continue.

But this enthusiastic act naturally brought their relationship a little closer.

Chen Shen took this opportunity to chat with Ma Ru Hai for a few more sentences.

Chen Shen learned the other person's name from Ma Ru Hai's mouth.

It turns out that the other person didn't willingly come to be a corpse collector. It just happened that Heaven Burial Mountain was short of people, and he was punished to come here for two years because he injured another disciple in a fight over fame.

"Keep the bell with you and don't wander around. Go back and stay." Before Chen Shen could ask more, Ma Ru Hai coldly dismissed him.

Although they are both corpse collectors, in Ma Ru Hai's eyes, there is an insurmountable gap between ordinary people and cultivators. Chen Shen, a mortal without spiritual roots, is not worthy of being treated as a fellow disciple by him.

Chen Shen didn't want to make trouble for himself, so he bid farewell and returned to his own house.

The next day at noon, he opened his eyes from cultivation.

Because the bell rang.

Chen Shen walked out of the house and headed towards Ma Ru Hai's house.

The house was built perfectly, an elegant little loft.

Knock, knock, knock!

He arrived in front of Ma Ru Hai's house and lightly knocked on the door, shouting, "Senior Brother Ma, the sect has sent a corpse over. Please come and collect it!"

However, there was no response. Chen Shen looked at the faint vortex of spiritual energy forming around the house and knocked on the door again, this time with a louder voice.

"Get lost!"

Ma Ru Hai's irritable voice came from inside the house.

Chen Shen's face immediately showed helplessness. In fact, he had already prepared himself for this. Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have given him the bell, and he wouldn't have built the house so far away.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of collecting the corpse, he could only turn around and leave, going to collect the corpse alone.

But this was also what Chen Shen had anticipated. Other cultivators without prospects relied on climbing up step by step, while all he needed to do was collect corpses.

When he arrived at the edge of the sky bridge, there were three disciples' bodies wrapped in white cloth on the ground.

Chen Shen carried each body one by one towards the depths of Heaven Burial Mountain and spent half a day successfully burying them.

Obtained Dao Technique: Cangwu Immortal Art Qi Refining Fifth Layer, Fireball Technique, Wind Control Technique, Four Seasons Sword Art Fragment!

Obtained Immortal Dao experience.

Obtained partial spiritual roots.

Chen Shen opened his wise eyes and exhaled a breath of impurity.

As the spring breeze blew, he picked up a branch and began to dance with the wind.

Boom!

As the branch swung, there was a rumbling sound in the air, and droplets of rainwater condensed out of thin air, gradually increasing until there were hundreds of them.

Suddenly, Chen Shen stopped his movements and didn't continue dancing.

But the condensed water droplets didn't dissipate with his stop. Instead, they fell to the ground, piercing through the earth and forming small holes.

"This is definitely an advanced sword technique, but unfortunately, it's only the Spring Rain Fragment, and the sword technique hasn't been fully mastered." A gleam of light flashed in Chen Shen's eyes, followed by a sense of regret.

After collecting corpses for over three months, this was the third technique he had obtained, and it was an extremely powerful sword technique. Unfortunately, it lacked the Summer, Autumn, and Winter Fragments.

If he could gather and integrate them, he would be able to practice an even more terrifying Four Seasons Sword Art.

But there would always be disciples who possessed complete sword techniques or mastered the remaining fragments. All Chen Shen needed to do was wait for them to fight until the final chapter.

Time flew by, and seven days had passed.

During these days, several waves of dead disciples were sent over, and without exception, their cultivation levels were all below the fifth layer of Qi Refining.

Chen Shen didn't gain much, but he gained a new understanding of the perfected Fireball Technique. Instead of summoning only three fireballs, he could now summon four, and each fireball was even more powerful than before.

Of course, this was only possible after assimilating the insights from over a hundred disciples.

He also secretly practiced the Spring Rain Sword Art a few times and increasingly felt the terror of this sword technique. Its power was several times stronger than the newly perfected Fireball Technique.

And this was still an incomplete sword technique. One could imagine how terrifying it would be when fully mastered.

After finishing burying the bodies, Chen Shen returned on his way and met Ma Ru Hai walking towards him from the direction of the sky bridge.

The other party had a cold expression and didn't even glance at Chen Shen as he walked past, raising his head and heading towards his own house.
