I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 48: Hands and Feet

First update, second update around 11 o'clock.

"Chen Shen, a scholar from Cang Country, entered the Cangwu Immortal Sect at the age of seventeen, and it has been more than five years since then."

"I have reviewed the list of the past ten years of the corpse collectors, and most of them were sent by disciples. There are some mortals, but they usually don't live for more than two years."

"And you, in Heaven Burial Mountain for five years without any injuries, with delicate skin, you don't look like an ordinary mortal who collects corpses all year round."

After hearing this, Chen Shen looked puzzled, as if he couldn't understand what the other person was saying.

But his heart was pounding like a drum, his heart beating non-stop.

"The hands of an ordinary mortal who has been doing rough work all the time wouldn't look like this."

The female cultivator grabbed Chen Shen's hand, lifted it up and examined it, smiling.

"Junior brother doesn't do farm work that requires exposure to the sun and rain."

This time, Chen Shen didn't dodge, feeling the warmth and softness transmitted by the other party's slender fingers, and explained.

"The hands that hold a shovel every day shouldn't be so flawless."

The female cultivator touched his fingers and said seriously.

"Junior sister, please behave yourself! I think you're taking advantage of me!"

Chen Shen quickly withdrew his hand and said seriously.

The female cultivator's face blushed slightly, whether it was embarrassment or something else, she snorted, "Your senior sister is stunningly beautiful, how could I be interested in you?"

"Then please don't touch me!"

Chen Shen looked at her slightly more attractive face and didn't argue.

"I'm not that kind of person, I just have some doubts about you!"

The female cultivator spoke straightforwardly, without beating around the bush.

"I have a magical technique that can conceal cultivation level. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator can't see through my realm."

As she spoke, she scrutinized Chen Shen, her meaning was obvious.

"So, senior sister suspects that I also have a similar technique and have hidden my cultivation level!"

"You're a quick learner." The female cultivator nodded slightly and smiled.

As she spoke, she reached out her claws towards Chen Shen again.

"What are you doing, senior sister?" Chen Shen hugged himself, his expression alert.

"I suspect that you're not an ordinary mortal and need to test you."

As she spoke, the female cultivator pointed her finger at Chen Shen's forehead.

Immediately, Chen Shen felt a spiritual power wandering inside his body.

After a while, the female cultivator exclaimed, "There's no reason, could it be that I misunderstood?"

She saw that Chen Shen's dantian was chaotic and obscure, not yet opened.

It should be noted that no matter how one conceals their cultivation level, the spiritual power can always see the dantian. But she didn't find any trace of an opened dantian in Chen Shen's body.

The Great Dao Aura Concealment Technique is so terrifying!

"I told you, senior sister, you misunderstood me. Junior brother is not an immortal who can fly and escape." Chen Shen said helplessly.

"I don't believe it, let me check again!" The female cultivator seemed confident in her intuition and had never been wrong before.

Unfortunately, this time, she was really wrong. After several checks, she couldn't find anything abnormal, and in the end, she could only withdraw her finger in disappointment.

"Tsk tsk, with such good skin, who would have thought you were just a mortal."

The female cultivator's suspicion of Chen Shen dissipated, and she marveled.

"But, I am a cultivator!" Chen Shen didn't dare to say this.

"In that case... Sorry, goodbye!" The female cultivator hurriedly left.

It seemed that this mistake made her lose face.

"This woman is quite something, I should be more cautious in the future." Chen Shen muttered as he watched her leave by climbing over the wall.

"Forget to mention!"

Suddenly, a little head appeared on the flower wall opposite, it was the female cultivator who had just left.

"Your neighbor and senior sister, my surname is Mu, call me Mu Xiaojin!"

"Okay, Lin Shujin."

Chen Shen nodded, replying in his mind.

He wasn't a fool. When the other party was inspecting him earlier, Chen Shen's divine consciousness quietly entered Mu Xiaojin's body.

To become a Gold Core True Immortal at such a young age, besides Senior Sister Cangwu, the goddess Lin Shujin, there was no one else.

Since the other party enjoyed playing the game of life, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, then he would accompany them in this act.

The only confusion was why the Senior Sister, who was doing well and would become the future wife of the Sect Master, came to Heaven Burial Mountain and seemed to want to settle here.

"That's it, goodbye!" Mu Xiaojin said.

"Goodbye, Senior Sister Mu." Chen Shen bowed.

More than ten days passed.

Heaven Burial Mountain returned to tranquility, and Chen Shen did not receive any news of new corpse collectors coming.

Mu Xiaojin still left early and returned late, sometimes not returning for several days.

When she came back, she would spend a day arranging flowers and plants or playing the zither, and then leave early and return late again.

Chen Shen didn't know what she was up to and didn't dare to ask.

They were also not familiar with each other.

One day, a little head popped out from the neighboring flower wall and asked, "What does Junior Brother Chen think cultivation is for?"

"Of course, it's for the three thousand beauties in the harem, and to become a role model for a hundred calamities, Qing Emperor!" Chen Shen lightly bowed and earnestly said, "For immortality and eternal life. If Junior Brother had spiritual roots, he would also dive into the world of immortals and taste the freedom."

"Immortality? Freedom? It's like trying to catch the moon in the water," Mu Xiaojin replied with melancholy and went back inside.

Chen Shen couldn't make sense of it.

................

Time quickly passed again.

In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.

During this year, Chen Shen polished his cultivation to the late stage of Gold Core.

His progress had slowed down, but he could still bear it.

Unfortunately, his spiritual roots remained at the middle-grade perfection and had yet to break through.

His Four Seasons Sword Technique was complete in three parts, only one part away from Integrated Union.

This was also thanks to the Qing Emperor's Longevity Art. With the three paths of cultivation, his comprehension and other aspects had all improved.

Except for his spiritual roots being inferior to Mu Xiaojin's, he was not lacking in any other aspect.

Speaking of their neighbors, the two of them had also chatted a few times. Every time, Mu Xiaojin would stick her head out from her flower wall and talk to Chen Shen.

But they were all topics he couldn't understand.

There was even one time when Mu Xiaojin actually invited him to drink.

"Sister is lonely and has no friends. I think Junior Brother gets along well with me. How about having a few drinks?" Mu Xiaojin said, holding a few bottles of aged flower wine.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shen repeatedly stepped back, blocking his body with his hands, and looked cautious. "Sister, are you trying to get me drunk and take advantage of me?"

"╮（╯＿╰）╭" Mu Xiaojin.

"Just a mere mortal, why are you so narcissistic? Sister has plenty of suitors and genuinely doesn't fancy you!" Mu Xiaojin sneered.

She really just wanted to have a drink with someone and talk about life, mainly focusing on depression.

After a few drinks, this neighbor actually got drunk and fell asleep on the table.

Chen Shen looked at this well-proportioned and attractive neighbor and silently recited the Clear Heart Mantra, "I will be self-reliant and not be influenced by the beauty that brings calamity. It will only affect my speed in drawing my sword."

About the story of the goddess getting drunk at my house that year, and me sending her home.

Time passed, and another year went by.

Chen Shen secretly raised his cultivation to the second level of Gold Core.

During this year, the peaceful Cangwu Sect once again stirred up because a stunning female disciple joined the sect and became Dao companions with Zhu Ming, who had been in the sect for three years.

Many people sighed with regret that the newly arrived junior sister was taken away like this.

This matter wasn't particularly sensational. The most important thing was that Zhu Ming had reached the sixth level of Foundation Building, with a frighteningly fast cultivation speed.
