I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 7: Unparalleled Elegance - Lin Shujin

Chen Shen's death was not unexpected, one could say it was within expectations.

Ma Ruhai believed he had great fortune and thought that Ye Shuangman was willing to confide in them, treating them as friends.

But Chen Shen understood that this was merely the result of the other party being overly heartbroken and seeking someone to vent to.

If their statuses were equal, Ma Ruhai would not have died. But he became too arrogant, thinking that he could listen to anyone's story and know anyone's secrets.

Ye Shuangman was a true disciple, the son of a sect's leader. Should disciples from outside the sect know the secrets of such an important figure?

If Chen Shen had stayed there, when the other party calmed down a bit and sobered up, there would have been two bodies lying here.

That's why he chose to leave immediately at that time. Moreover, he casually threw some dirt, which surprisingly resulted in a successful burial.

It can be said that Chen Shen also understood this story and knew what this secret meant to Ye Shuangman.

Once the other party calms down, they will probably consider this matter a disgrace, and those who know about it will likely die!

Chen Shen searched the body of his peaceful colleague for a moment, took out a gray bag, put it in his pocket, and turned to walk towards the Tianqiao direction.

Ye Shuangman was responsible for killing, not burying. He would handle the trivial matters behind.

At this moment, the first thing to do was to report this matter to Sun Steward. If there were any doubts, they would need to examine the body, so there was no rush to bury their colleague.

Things progressed smoothly. When Chen Shen reported it, Sun Steward was initially surprised, but as soon as he heard Ye Shuangman's name, he immediately shut up and said he would arrange for another colleague to come over.

Successful burial!

Obtained the Dharma Gate.

Obtained immortal cultivation experience, obtained a portion of spiritual roots, spiritual roots entered the lower grade middle stage!

Chen Shen stood in front of Ma Ruhai's grave, his eyes widened. Spiritual roots were also divided into realms?

Yes, every time he obtained a portion of spiritual roots, they slowly accumulated and increased the limit of his talent, just like cultivation, allowing him to break through.

And this also meant that he was not far from the later stage of the lower grade spiritual roots, and then he could rise to the middle grade spiritual roots, and after a period of time, he would become the upper grade spiritual roots, and then...

Chen Shen's excitement surged, then he took out the storage bag and checked his gains.

A total of 1,200 lower grade spirit stones, fifteen Qi Gathering Pills, and some other pills.

He returned to his small attic, replaced all his daily necessities with new ones, and began to cultivate.

He took out a Qi Gathering Pill from the storage bag. The pill's surface was brown and glossy, with a faint medicinal fragrance lingering.

Chen Shen put the pill into his mouth, and the pill dissolved, turning into pure spiritual energy that entered his body and gathered in his dantian through his meridians.

The spiritual energy in his dantian instantly filled up, showing signs of breaking through.

He possessed immortal cultivation experience, coupled with more than half a month of cultivation, he had already reached the peak of the third layer of Qi Refining. It wouldn't take long for him to reach the next stage.

He didn't expect to obtain Qi Gathering Pills that were even more precious than spirit stones, which allowed him to advance ahead of schedule.

Immediately, he stabilized his mind and swallowed another pill. His aura became even stronger.

Boom!

In the night, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound from the room, Chen Shen broke through the shackles and reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

The path to immortality is long and arduous. He didn't overly rejoice, but continued to refine his cultivation and swallow Qi Gathering Pills.

By the afternoon of the second day, after consuming more than ten Qi Gathering Pills, Chen Shen's cultivation was not far from the mid-stage of the fourth layer.

Time flew by, and several days passed.

On this morning...

Ding ding dong, ding ding dong.

Chen Shen opened his eyes from meditation, and the bell rang. It was time to work.

When he arrived at the bridge, there were already several disciples standing there, and a scholar-looking cultivator with his back facing him.

Hearing footsteps, the disciples looked up one after another, and the scholar turned around with a smile on his face. "Are you the young scholar Chen Shen?"

Chen Shen hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "Greetings, senior brother."

"Junior sixth brother, senior brother Chen, the bodies are placed here, and the rest is up to you." The several disciples who were doing odd jobs greeted Chen Shen and left after placing several bodies and a blood-wrapped package.

Chen Shen approached the bodies and looked at the strange package with curiosity in his eyes.

Junior sixth stood aside, carefully observing him, then chuckled and asked, "Do you know what the blood-wrapped package contains?"

"Body parts?" Chen Shen turned around and tentatively asked, to which the other nodded and asked again, "Do you know whose body parts they are?"

This time, Chen Shen didn't ask and simply bowed slightly. He then lifted one body onto his shoulder and carried the blood-wrapped package in his right hand, walking towards Heaven Burial Mountain.

"In the first half of your life, you were a scholar. I didn't expect you to be so strong," Junior sixth looked at Chen Shen's back and exclaimed in surprise. Then he smiled mysteriously and said, "You are cautious and dare not inquire about the identities and causes of death of these bodies, but this time I want to tell you."

He carried the remaining two bodies with one hand and came to Chen Shen's side. "The one you are carrying is an inner disciple named Zhou Zheng, and the one on your shoulder is his brother."

Chen Shen's footsteps clearly paused, and Junior sixth, who noticed this scene, chuckled. "You do know these people after all. It seems necessary for me to tell you the whole story of what happened in the inner sect."

"Since you know Zhou Zheng, you should know what kind of person he is." Junior sixth was a chatterbox. As long as no one objected, he would shoot off like a machine gun, continuously bombarding you.

And from the other's mouth, Chen Shen also learned about the shocking events that had occurred in the inner sect in recent days.

It turned out that after Zhou Zheng entered the inner sect following the outer sect competition, his bad habits remained unchanged. Relying on his brother's connections, he caused a bloody storm in the inner sect.

Having committed too many evil deeds, he finally met his match.

One night, he was wandering in the inner sect and took a liking to a maid, whom he then abused to death.

If it had been a maid of an ordinary inner sect disciple, it could have been settled with some spirit stones. Unfortunately, she was not a disciple of the sect but a personal maid of a true transmission disciple who was visiting the inner sect that day. As a result, she fell victim to Zhou Zheng's cruelty.

At that time, the true transmission disciple was out on business and not in the sect, so Zhou Zheng and others who knew the seriousness of the matter tried to cover it up and create another cause of death.

However, that true transmission disciple was not an ordinary one but one of the top three powerhouses of the Cangwu Immortal Sect, Lin Shujin!

Three days later, this genius returned to the sect and was furious upon learning of the incident.

Zhou Zheng thought that the other party would not find out, but little did he know that the power of such a true transmission disciple was immense. Anyone who displeased her would be immediately informed of the matter.

That afternoon, Zhou Zheng was tied to a square and publicly tortured in front of thousands of people, with Lin Shujin personally wielding the blade.

Ordinary people could withstand a maximum of three thousand cuts, but Zhou Zheng endured a full thirty thousand cuts, screaming and wailing in agony throughout.

No one dared to stop it, not even his brother, who could only helplessly accept it.

They thought the matter would end there, but that night, Lin Shujin stormed into the residence of an elder.

Because Zhou Zheng's brother was a registered disciple of that elder and was hiding there.

In the night, a tremendous disturbance erupted. Lin Shujin severed the elder's arm with a single sword strike and then killed Zhou Zheng's brother with another sword strike.

Although the higher-ups of the sect were alarmed, they did not hold her accountable.

Everyone thought it would be over, but then there was another shocking spiritual power eruption in the outer sect.

It turned out that the informant not only revealed the maid's incident but also exposed all the misdeeds committed by these people in both the inner and outer sects.

Wang Changsheng, the outer sect sect master with a cultivation base of Foundation Building Ninth Layer, was nailed to the ground with a sword and executed, and his son was also put to death.

Lin Shujin went on a rampage, wanting to kill all the other accomplices, but this time she was stopped by a Gold Core True Immortal.

After all, the mastermind behind all the evil deeds was these four people, and the others were not deserving of death.

"I would really like to toast that heroic woman given the chance," Chen Shen sincerely praised.

"Of course, who doesn't admire this genius now? Everyone regards her as a goddess, and she is loved by all," Junior sixth nodded, then whispered, "Rumors say that this genius is only twenty-three years old and has already achieved the status of Supreme True Immortal. I wonder if it's true or not."
