I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 4: Spirit Gathering Formation

Chen Shen wanted to say hello, after all, they saw each other all the time. But unfortunately, every time he greeted the other party, they ignored him. So he gave up on the idea of building a good relationship.

The class system in the cultivation world has completely solidified, and the belief that strength is everything seems to be ingrained in the cultivators. Chen Shen felt that even the most powerful people in the Heavenly Dynasty wouldn't be able to do anything.

But what Chen Shen didn't know was that Ma Ru Hai's attitude towards him was not just indifference, there was even a hint of killing intent this time.

Unlike Chen Shen, who had transmigrated, Ma Ru Hai felt that Chen Shen was disrespectful towards him.

The fact that Chen Shen, a Qi Refining fifth level cultivator, dared to not greet him several times and even showed a displeased expression this time, made Ma Ru Hai feel a bit humiliated.

The next morning, as soon as Chen Shen finished washing up, he heard the sound of a bell.

When he walked near the sky bridge, he rarely saw Ma Ru Hai's figure.

Since coming to Heaven Burial Mountain, Ma Ru Hai had never accompanied him in collecting and burying the corpses. He either stayed in the attic cultivating or went out on business.

But today, he arrived even earlier than Chen Shen, which surprised him.

However, when Chen Shen saw Ma Ru Hai warmly greeting several disciples, nodding and bowing, he immediately understood that the deceased this time was not ordinary.

He moved his fingers and felt quite excited.

"Greetings, senior brothers, Senior Brother Ma!" Chen Shen walked up and bowed to the disciples wearing white robes with white cloth strips on their heads, and also included Ma Ru Hai.

The latter seemed to not hear him speak and continued to show his enthusiasm. It was the other disciples with higher status who returned the greetings without any airs.

"Please help me choose a feng shui treasure land for my junior brother's burial." One of the disciples stepped forward and said in a hoarse voice.

"So, you are a disciple of the Formation Peak!" Chen Shen saw the waist token worn by that disciple and thought to himself.

"I am familiar with this. I will definitely choose a good place for the unfortunate Junior Brother An to be buried!" Ma Ru Hai patted his chest respectfully and guaranteed.

"In that case, junior brothers, let's start the burial." Wang Cheng, the disciple standing at the front, nodded and then turned to the disciples behind him.

"It's different when you have a high status. There's even a coffin and people to send off." Chen Shen looked at the coffin made of sandalwood and remained silent.

Then, led by Ma Ru Hai himself, Chen Shen walked behind the disciples of the Formation Peak.

After walking for more than half an hour, Ma Ru Hai, who was at the front, stopped and turned around to smile at everyone. "This is it. It's full of birdsong and fragrance, with beautiful scenery. It's a feng shui treasure land for Junior Brother An's burial."

Chen Shen looked around and furrowed his brows lightly.

"That's not right." One of the disciples from the Formation Peak also noticed it and pointed to the left. "There are several solitary graves over there. It seems that this is the burial ground for the outer sect disciples. How can they be buried in the same place as my junior brother?"

"Oh, this..." Ma Ru Hai's face changed, not knowing how to explain.

Apart from cultivating and making connections with the outer sect disciples who had strong backgrounds, he knew nothing about the internal situation of Heaven Burial Mountain.

Usually, he let that mortal Chen Shen handle the burial. He wouldn't really bury those who were inferior to him.

He only knew that people with high status were buried in the central area, but Ma Ru Hai didn't dare to go too deep because there were forbidden areas, where the elders and peak masters were buried after their deaths.

Now that the disciple from the Formation Peak pointed out the problem, he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Chen Shen glanced at Ma Ru Hai, who was stunned in place, and turned to the disciple who pointed out the problem. "Senior Brother Ma means that we need to go a little further ahead."

"Yes, that's what I mean," Ma Ru Hai quickly spoke, his face full of flattery.

The disciple glanced coldly at him and said in a deep voice, "Then let's go."

The group continued to move forward, still led by the enthusiastic Ma Ru Hai.

Soon, they passed through a small grove and walked a little further ahead, where they saw graves with inscribed tombstones all around.

"That's enough, senior brothers." Ma Ru Hai looked at the graves with tombstones and turned around with a smile.

The disciples ignored him and looked at Chen Shen instead. Chen Shen nodded slightly, and they stopped.

Ma Ru Hai's face turned slightly unpleasant when he saw this scene.

"An Shidi, today I will bury you in Wangcheng!" Wangcheng said mournfully, and a sharp sword appeared in his hand.

Bang!

The sword in his hand lightly emitted a few rays of light, and then, not far away, a square pit suddenly formed, with soil scattered all around.

"Senior brothers, let's bury An Shidi!"

After saying that, the disciple carrying the coffin placed it inside, and then Wangcheng took the lead in using a shovel to fill the coffin with soil. Several other disciples took turns adding a few shovels of soil.

After the last person added a few shovels, Ma Ru Hai walked over with a smile and said, "Senior brothers, let me take care of the rest!"

Then, the disciple stopped and handed him the shovel.

Ma Ru Hai respectfully took the shovel and began to work hard at shoveling the soil.

After about a dozen times, he looked at Chen Shen with cold eyes.

Actually, Ma Ru Hai didn't need to signal, Chen Shen would also do the finishing work.

But obviously, Ma Ru Hai's flattery skills were really inferior, and if he really had the intention, he would definitely finish it all!

Of course, Chen Shen wouldn't say these things to the other party. He took the shovel and started his familiar task.

Ma Ru Hai clapped his hands and happily went to chat with the disciples of Zhendao Peak.

After about an hour, Chen Shen finished the final touches.

Obtained Dharma: Cangwu Immortal Art, 7th level; obtained the Maze Formation, the Killing Stopping Formation; obtained the Small Spirit Gathering Formation!

Obtained Immortal Dao experience, Formation Dao experience!

Obtained partial spiritual roots!

A flash of light passed through his eyes, and he walked expressionlessly towards Wangcheng and the others.

On the other side, the disciples had also set up the tombstones, inscribed them, and placed offerings in front of them.

"Rest in peace, An Shidi!" Wangcheng poured a bowl of wine in front of the grave, speaking sorrowfully.

Then, the other disciples also offered wine, their eyes filled with tears.

Chen Shen saw Ma Ru Hai also pretending to mourn and poured a bowl of wine, sighing a few words.

After the ceremony, Wangcheng clasped his fists to Chen Shen and said, "We trouble you two junior brothers to help us choose a burial site and fill the grave. We will take our leave."

"Senior brothers, you're being too polite. This is what junior brothers should do," Ma Ru Hai quickly smiled and said.

Seeing that the disciples of Zhendao Peak were about to leave after just nodding at him, Ma Ru Hai hurriedly approached them.

"Senior brothers, I want to make a deal with you. I wonder if you would agree?"
