I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 49: Approachable

"Little scholar, you have quite some strength," Mu Xiaojin looked at Chen Shen carrying the corpse and said.

Chen Shen remained silent, carrying the corpse and walking towards the depths of Heaven Burial Mountain.

These past few days, Mu Xiaojin did not go out. At first, she stayed in the courtyard to appreciate the flowers and play the zither.

But the next day, she became interested in the profession of corpse collectors and started observing him.

The goddess naturally wouldn't do it herself. She wasn't here as a punishment, and no one dared to punish her anyway.

Chen Shen felt that she wasn't really interested in collecting corpses, but rather had nothing else to do at the moment.

He knew that her daily outings were not for activities in Cangwu, but rather outside the sect.

Chen Shen dared to freely investigate within Cangwu, but once he left the sect, he didn't dare to extend his divine sense.

He was afraid that there might be an immensely powerful being disguised as a beggar on the streets.

Some powerful beings with peculiar tastes liked to do this, pretending to be beggars or grocery store owners.

They called it experiencing the mortal world in disguise, but in the end, they were just pretending and showing off.

Chen Shen was afraid of encountering such a person.

They arrived at the cemetery.

"Do you want Sister Shijie to help you?" Mu Xiaojin asked again.

Chen Shen continued to dig the soil, ignoring this extremely boring neighbor.

He suddenly felt that after spending time together, this goddess was not a cold and indifferent cultivator. She was very kind and approachable.

Her attitude was approachable, her way of speaking was approachable, and her behavior was approachable.

So, why keep a distance?

Chen Shen was startled when she suddenly appeared right in front of him.

"Sister Shijie, please restrain yourself!" He quickly moved away from Mu Xiaojin and said seriously.

"You have a bug on your head!" Mu Xiaojin pointed at Chen Shen's head, her face full of disgust.

"I didn't expect Sister Shijie to be afraid of bugs too," he sneered.

Then, in the shocked gaze of his senior sister, Chen Shen grabbed the bug and put it in his mouth, savoring it as he said, "It's delicious. Sister Shijie, do you want to try?"

"You go away!" Mu Xiaojin trembled, her figure flashed, and she returned to her own courtyard.

Ugh~ Chen Shen spat out a mouthful and then continued his work expressionlessly.

"Finally, she's gone."

Women, they only slow down my digging speed!

...

In the afternoon, after finishing his work, Chen Shen returned to the courtyard.

Dong!

Just as he was about to take a sip of tea, a deafening bell rang in the distance.

"Is there a war?" Chen Shen quickly looked up, his eyes revealing a glimmer of excitement.

"It seems like you really like wars, or maybe you like being a corpse collector?"

At some point, Mu Xiaojin's little head was resting on the flower wall.

"Sister Shijie!" Chen Shen saluted.

"That's the congratulatory bell for the top scorer in the True Transmission Grand Competition." Mu Xiaojin looked up, her gaze distant.

"By the way, did you rinse your mouth? Eating that thing without feeling disgusted."

Women seemed to easily change the topic.

"..." Chen Shen.

Just kidding, he used the Water Control Technique to rinse his mouth a hundred and eighty times.

"That is a delicacy of the mortal world. I hope the taste lingers in my mouth for a day." Chen Shen seemed to show a wonderful expression again.

"Huh~" Mu Xiaojin sneered.

"Sister Shijie, why didn't I hear the bell during the True Transmission Grand Competition?"

Women were easily distracted and easily distracted by others.

"It depends on the person. This time, the first place must be that genius named Zhu Ming. I guess he defeated a Foundation Building Great Perfection cultivator and won the championship. The sect specially rang the bell to celebrate."

"In the past, I... Anyway, just remember, this kind of joyous bell only rings for special people. Of course, it has nothing to do with you, an ordinary person."

"I see." Chen Shen understood.

Only the Ye family and top-tier geniuses have privileges.

I guess when this person took first place, they also celebrated with the ringing of the bell.

"It's just the first place in a small sect, nothing special." Mu Xiaojin looked at the sky, showing a sense of nostalgia.

"Oh~ It seems that Senior Sister has been to even more splendid worlds." Chen Shen saw the look in the other person's eyes and asked with a smile.

The other person glanced at him and said seriously, "Of course, the world is unimaginably vast. In your eyes, the Ten Kingdoms of Cangwu may seem big, but it's actually just a small place. In your age, there are geniuses who have achieved Nascent Soul or Soul Formation in some places."

"Hmph!" Chen Shen snorted coldly. "If I had spiritual roots, I would definitely be outstanding among people. At this age, I would be a Transcending Tribulation ancestor!"

The goddess gave him a disdainful look. "Scholars who harm the country are not just empty talkers. They only know how to talk about war on paper and brag!"

Chen Shen blinked his eyes. Yes, yes, I am just bragging.

Returning to the topic.

"Speaking of the vast world, let's not talk about distant places. Let's talk about the Hundred Nations Immortal Fate that will open in three months. It will be a grand event where geniuses compete in Soul Formation and discuss the Dao."

"Based on Senior Sister's meaning, it seems that you have also participated?"

"Of course!" Mu Xiaojin said proudly.

Immediately, her expression turned gloomy.

Chen Shen could tell that this person who had participated in the Hundred Nations Immortal Fate probably didn't stand out much inside.

At the same time, through what Mu Xiaojin said, he had a rough idea of the overall strength of the Hundred Nations.

Lin Shujin was the number one genius in Cangwu, but not enough in the Hundred Nations. From this, one could see that there were countless stronger and more terrifying talents outside.

Talent determines the limit. Chen Shen estimated that the strongest in the Hundred Nations would at least be at the Soul Formation stage, or possibly even stronger.

"If you don't want to be involved in the conflicts of the immortal world in the future, when you leave Cangwu, you should be more careful and at least reach the Nascent Soul stage yourself." Chen Shen warned himself.

"Senior Sister, who do you think is stronger between Senior Brother Zhu and the person from the Demon Sect?" He changed the topic.

Mu Xiaojin looked up and smiled. "I didn't expect Junior Brother to be interested in the matters of the cultivation world."

"Although I am a mortal, I am in the immortal sect after all. I should know a thing or two. I am just a lonely corpse collector, but I still need some interest."

Mu Xiaojin nodded seriously. "The grand competition of the Demon Sect's true inheritance ended last month, and a person named Lin Xuan took first place."

"These two individuals, one has excellent spiritual roots, and the other has astonishing comprehension. Although Lin Xuan is only at the fifth level of Foundation Building, his specific combat power is unknown. But before the Immortal Fate opens, they will definitely have a battle!"

...

Two months before the opening of the Hundred Nations Immortal Fate, Lin Xuan of the Demon Sect went out to gain experience and prepared to travel all the way to the Immortal Fate Land for the meeting.

As soon as he left the mountain, he killed two perfect Foundation Building demonic cultivators, stunning the Ten Kingdoms.

It should be noted that he was only at the fifth level of Foundation Building!

Cangwu naturally couldn't fall behind. After receiving the news, Zhu Ming also announced his appearance.

Of course, both of them had protectors, and they were not just ordinary True Immortals.

A battle for dominance, a battle of geniuses, a battle for the number one in Cangwu.

Neither of them would yield to the other. They fought their way through, and by the month before the Immortal Fate opened, their records were evenly matched.

Until they reached the boundary of the Ten Kingdoms, news came from both sides that the two extraordinary geniuses had met.

The entire sect was in an uproar, discussing and even placing bets.

Chen Shen disguised himself as a low-ranking disciple and bet a spirit stone on Lin Xuan.

It's not that he didn't support Zhu Ming, but Lin Xuan had always used the true interpretation of the sword path.

Although they didn't have a master-disciple relationship, they were still somewhat connected.

This sword technique wasn't particularly strong, but it was considered a trump card in Foundation Building. It was difficult to comprehend a sword technique that was too powerful.

On that day, the two of them fought for three thousand rounds. When the news reached Cangwu, everyone was shocked.

Because the winner was Lin Xuan!

"Send a few True Immortals to kill Lin Xuan."

Ye Shuangman of the First Peak said in a deep voice.
