I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 45: Good Skin

Early the next morning, Chen Shen arrived at the Tianqiao Bridge full of energy to collect the bodies for burial.

As a professional corpse collector with a sense of duty, he wouldn't indulge himself just because he had recently been promoted. He constantly reflected on himself.

Wang Xia slowly walked over from the Tianqiao Bridge, carrying three layers of lunch boxes.

Speaking of which, the other party had been at Heaven Burial Mountain for over a year and hadn't disappeared from the mortal world.

During this time, she had experienced her master Cheng Ren's rebellion with the Gold Core, being demoted to the inner sect, and then promoted to the true transmission, but she hadn't been brought back.

Chen Shen felt that this maid had probably been forgotten.

But she still relied on her identity as a true transmission maid to have the disciples on duty bring her food.

At Heaven Burial Mountain, sometimes she would shout and make a fuss with Chen Shen, putting on a show.

Of course, Chen Shen wouldn't pay attention to this crazy woman. He collected corpses every day, cultivated immortality, and spent his evenings at the Full Fragrance Tower.

He didn't find it boring because sometimes he would cover his divine sense over the entire Cangwu Immortal Sect and listen to gossip.

For example, someone had been promoted to the inner sect, or which famous fairy had been seduced and become a dao companion.

Or, his divine sense would mix into the circle of true immortals and listen to what these high and mighty figures were talking about.

Of course, the topics discussed by the true immortals were more substantial, such as the Dao, opportunities, and showing off their disciples and descendants.

But they were also human beings with basic needs, and occasionally they would unintentionally witness scenes that were not suitable for children.

They were all hundreds of years old, becoming true immortals, yet still full of vitality.

Days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

On this day, in the courtyard, Chen Shen lay on an old chair for a nap.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It didn't sound like a knocking sound, but it woke up Chen Shen, who was rarely able to take a nap.

He opened his eyes in confusion and first looked towards the entrance of the courtyard, but there was no one there.

Just as he turned his head, he saw a female cultivator building a house next to his.

Why say she was a female cultivator? You must have seen a delicate young girl carrying seven or eight liters of purified water home.

But you must not have seen someone effortlessly lifting a huge tree that two people couldn't even hold with one hand.

So it was undoubtedly a female cultivator.

"The new corpse collector?" Chen Shen carefully observed this neighbor who would be living next door.

The other party seemed to sense it and turned her fair side face towards him.

It was a face with bright and beautiful eyes, with curved eyelashes and blinking eyes.

Chen Shen also responded with a friendly smile.

Not bad, much better than that maid Wang Xia.

Chen Shen was about to speak, but was preempted.

"Your skin is good." A pleasant voice came softly.

Ah, this...

"It's alright." Chen Shen compared the skin of the two people and found that they were similarly delicate.

His physical body was terrifyingly abnormal to achieve such smoothness. Could it be that the other party was also a master of Body Refining?

No, it could also be the Elixir of Eternal Youth, maintaining eternal youthfulness.

"You..." He wanted to continue the conversation, but the other party turned her head and continued working.

Chen Shen could only continue to enjoy his leisure time.

Clang!

Just as he was about to close his eyes, a loud sound of the window being pushed open came from the opposite door.

"Can you be quieter? Do you want to let people sleep?" The sun was shining brightly, and not only Chen Shen was being lazy, it seemed that Wang Xia was also taking a nap.

But now her gaze was unkind as she angrily shouted at the female cultivator next to Chen Shen.

"Okay." The female cultivator nodded gently.

Seeing that her attitude was good, Wang Xia didn't explode either. She lightly said before continuing her nap, "If you wake me up again, you will know the consequences."

...

When Chen Shen woke up, it was already near dusk.

He looked towards the next door, and was momentarily stunned. He rubbed his eyes and confirmed that he wasn't mistaken:

Smooth blue stone slabs extended from the outer gate to the inner rooms, with low surrounding walls covered in lush green vines and blooming flowers.

Several old trees with twisted branches and towering crowns covered the sky, casting a shadow over the house, and the sound of mournful bird cries could be heard amidst the abundant foliage.

The courtyard appeared elegant and serene, with silence prevailing in all directions. The ground was exceptionally clean, without a single weed or dry leaf in sight.

A few emerald bamboo plants concealed the main gate, casting ink shadows on the ground under the evening sun. As the gentle breeze blew, the bamboo shadows swayed and danced, creating a mosaic of light and shadow on the ground, dazzling the eyes.

"Could I have slept for a whole day?" Chen Shen doubted.

But as a true disciple, how could he not remember the time?

After confirming, it turned out that it only took two hours to create such an elegant and unique courtyard.

The Heavenly Dynasty's infrastructure needs you!

Creak.

The small window on the second floor of the next door was pushed open, and a female cultivator with sleepy eyes stretched lazily.

She looked at Chen Shen and smiled slightly.

Chen Shen was momentarily stunned. In just two hours, the other party had built such a large courtyard and even took a nap?

"This person is definitely not an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator. Judging from his appearance, he is probably a cultivator of the true transmission level!"

Chen Shen speculated. He had used his divine sense to probe the other party's cultivation level, but couldn't see through it.

Firstly, the cultivation level was far higher than his own, reaching the Soul Formation realm, which was the limit of his divine sense exploration, but obviously impossible.

Secondly, there was a concealment technique that deceived his divine sense.

"It could be a true transmission cultivator, or it could be a powerful true disciple who excels in preserving their youth. Regardless of which one it is, I have to keep a low profile."

Chen Shen frowned slightly. He had just become a true disciple, and his beautiful life was about to begin. How did he encounter someone who seemed to be above the true transmission level living in Heaven Burial Mountain?

"Could I have made a huge mistake? Or am I about to die and attain nirvana, enjoying my later years in peace at Heaven Burial Mountain?"

He had his doubts, but Wang Xia couldn't see through them.

She stood at the entrance of the exquisitely decorated courtyard, carefully looking inside, her eyes wandering.

"These two people must have some conflict. It depends on whether Wang Xia can handle it."

Chen Shen smiled. From Wang Xia's gaze, he understood that she had set her sights on the courtyard.

However, the other party was not foolish and could tell that the owner of the courtyard was a cultivator.

But they definitely couldn't guess the specific identity and strength of the cultivator.

They only treated him as an ordinary outer disciple who had made a mistake.

Several days passed, and Chen Shen no longer dared to practice openly during the day like before. He would enter the underground palace and practice in a cultivation room more than ten miles away from his residence.

And while cultivating, he had to constantly expend a bit of mental energy to keep an eye on his residence, in case that female cultivator suddenly came knocking.

Fortunately, this female cultivator would leave early and return late, and he didn't know what she was busy with.

And it seemed that because of her arrival, Heaven Burial Mountain allowed the corpse collectors to come and go.

Wang Xia was very happy, but she definitely didn't suspect that it was because of that female cultivator.

Relying on her identity as a true disciple's maid, she had made friends with several Qi Refining cultivators from the outer sect, including one Qi Refining cultivator who was trying to curry favor with her.

Goddess Lin did a good thing, raising the status of a true disciple's maid by several times.

Every day, Wang Xia would invite her Qi Refining friends to Heaven Burial Mountain, and occasionally stroll near the female cultivator's courtyard. It seemed that the courtyard was about to change owners soon.

Finally, ten days later, the female cultivator didn't go out anymore and started tending to the flowers and plants in her own courtyard.

Wang Xia couldn't hold back any longer and led a group of outer sect friends towards the courtyard.

"I have set my sights on this courtyard. I'll give you ten spirit stones, move to the opposite side!"

Listen, there were no polite words or beating around the bush. It was such a straightforward statement of intent.

Several cultivators beside her also revealed their cultivation levels.

A pressure filled the entire yard.

Chen Shen felt a breeze on his face and thought that the female cultivator must have felt it too.

Cough cough.

The female cultivator, who was drinking spring water, almost choked and widened her eyes as she looked at Chen Shen.

It seemed like she was saying, "Are you really this arrogant?"

A bit of water, haha.
