I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 89: True Respect Divine Ability

"Come, let's continue drinking." Chen Shen sat at a small table and said to the old man in front of him.

"This old guy's memory is all messed up. He has killed many people." Old Mo frowned and muttered to himself.

At this moment, he was no longer Old Mo. Chen Shen controlled one-tenth of the Primordial Spirit.

"It feels weird to drink with myself." After a moment, Chen Shen shook his head lightly, letting the split soul control where Old Mo came and went.

"Let's bury Old Mo soon. I don't like this old guy's body." Old Mo said before leaving.

Chen Shen waved his hand. It was not the right time to bury him directly. He would wait for a while before doing so.

However, after splitting the Primordial Spirit, his own head still hurt a bit. This matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

In the evening, Master Wang Lan from Tianming did not come back. It was estimated that he went to read fortunes for someone, but it was unknown whether he was reading palm lines or something else.

The next morning, Chen Shen tidied up a bit and left the coffin shop.

"Is Wang Lan considered to have won without playing? Zhang Qiang died, and I went to Ziyuan with three apprentices who were just going through the motions. I killed Old Mo, and soon he will go astray in his cultivation and die a violent death. By then, the coffin shop might be hers without any effort."

Thinking about it, he took a carriage to Ziyuan.

The city of Anwangfu was very large, and flying was prohibited within the city. No matter how noble one's status was, even if they were a True Respect, they had to walk obediently.

The best means of transportation was a carriage.

...

Ziyuan was magnificent, covering an area of thousands of miles, built around the deepest part of the royal tomb, which covered hundreds of miles.

It was mainly built for harvesting the Luck of the royal tomb, but it was controlled by Anwangfu, and the Immortal Dynasty wouldn't say anything about it.

Chen Shen crossed a lush bamboo forest and arrived at the residential area of Ziyuan.

This was his first time here. The last time he registered for the competition, it was all outside of Ziyuan.

"Chen Shen!" A surprised voice sounded.

Without him asking for directions, the new NPC appeared personally, leading the way.

It was still Chen Shen's exclusive NPC.

"Come with me quickly, you're not familiar with this place."

Xu Wenjing stood under a loft and greeted him.

Then, Chen Shen followed her to the courtyard of Luck Master Zhao Decai, while she introduced along the way.

"Whether it's a noble Luck Master or us apprentices, we all have our own courtyards."

"There are hundreds of people in Ziyuan, including Luck Masters and guards. Chen Shen, don't wander around randomly. Some of them have the territory of Green Sparrow or even Purple Crane level Luck Masters. If you offend them, even Master Zhao won't be able to protect you."

"By the way, our courtyards have been assigned, and you live next to me." Xu Wenjing blushed slightly as she said this.

"..." Chen Shen, it seems deliberate.

"May I ask how strong the guards are?"

He suddenly asked.

"Soul Formation is the starting point, and there are several Return to Void True Respects at the highest level. There are even rumors of a peerless powerhouse guarding Ziyuan."

"But they are only responsible for guarding Ziyuan, and it's very safe inside. No one dares to disturb it."

"Of course, if one day you become a Purple Crane level Luck Master, there will be guards at the level of an Elder protecting you until you die."

"Like the esteemed Golden Scale level Luck Grandmaster, they are accompanied by True Respects, very majestic."

Speaking of this, Xu Wenjing whispered, "I heard that the peerless powerhouse in Ziyuan is guarding a quasi-Saint Master. It is rumored that the Master is about to achieve the level of a True Dragon level Luck Saint."

"But all of this is far away from us. Oh, we've arrived at Master Zhao's courtyard."

Saying that, Xu Wenjing realized that they had arrived at Zhao Decai's yard, and her eyes seemed a little disappointed.

Zhao Decai was sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, nurturing his spirit with closed eyes.

Behind him stood a handsome young boy, his disciple.

"Master Zhao!" Chen Shen came to Zhao Decai and nodded.

The other party nodded slightly, opened his eyes to look at the apprentices in the courtyard, and stood up.

"Now that everyone is here, let me briefly explain the matters you will follow with me in the future."

The ten apprentices lined up in a row, listening to the Green Sparrow-level Luck Master say:

"Purple Garden will assign you to practice under my guidance. Although it may not be for a long time, it can be considered as fate, with cause and effect.

However, I am only responsible for bringing you into the sect. As for what happens afterwards, it will depend on you.

Moreover, I am only a Green Sparrow-level Luck Master, and I need to spend more time on myself. I don't have much energy to guide you carefully."

"In the future, for the first ten days, I will give you a one-hour lecture every day. After ten days, it will be once every half a month. If you have any questions, you can ask me during the lecture. I won't waste time on you during other times."

"After the lecture, you will have your apprentice tasks. Each person will need to patrol the cemetery in the Purple Garden for four hours every day."

After explaining many matters, Zhao Decai began to talk about the path of the White Goose-level Luck.

It must be said that this Luck Master explained it very well, and many things that Chen Shen couldn't understand before are now clear.

If he were teaching in the Heavenly Dynasty, this person would definitely have the opportunity to strive for the position of a top-level teacher.

No wonder the higher-ups of the Purple Garden let him lead the apprentices.

"Starting tomorrow, you will begin patrolling the cemetery. This will allow you to experience the Luck formations of various masters up close, and also help to check whether certain formations have been revealed.

Today, let my disciple take you to your respective courtyards and familiarize yourselves with the surroundings. However, there are some places you should not trespass. If you have any questions, ask my disciple."

After the lecture ended, Zhao Decai gave a few instructions and let the disciple lead everyone to the residential area.

And what Xu Wenjing said was true, she did become Chen Shen's neighbor.

But it wasn't arranged in advance. Chen Shen saw the other person quietly pulling the disciple aside and handing over a storage bag, and the disciple immediately smiled with joy...

The Purple Garden was very large and quiet. Within ten miles of Chen Shen's courtyard, there was only Xu Wenjing as his companion.

Not bad, he liked this quiet and undisturbed life.

However, when Lu Changqing was his neighbor back then, Xu Wenjing lived next door.

The two courtyards were originally five miles apart, but she said that the courtyard was old and needed to be rebuilt.

But Chen Shen clearly saw that with a snap of her fingers, the courtyard collapsed.

"Chen Shen Fellow Daoist, please take care in the future." Xu Wenjing showed a sweet smile.

Chen Shen sighed inwardly, wishing that the person in front of him could be Mu Xiaojin instead.

He really missed his wife.

The next day, after the lecture ended, the ten people followed the disciple to the burial ground.

Buzz!

Chen Shen's divination technique was perfect, and he also had some knowledge of the Purple Gold Mountain and River technique. In the depths of his mind, he could feel a majestic purple aura.

That was the Luck suppressed in the royal tomb. With his heavenly eye open, he could vaguely see a huge figure in the center of the royal tomb.

"Do you see that? That's Yinglong, a Transcending Tribulation Dragon King that the noble An Wang hunted in the Western Sea. It is specifically used to suppress the Luck of the Southern Region to prevent it from dissipating."

The disciple asked everyone to open their heavenly eyes and observe the situation in the royal tomb.

"Almost every royal tomb has a Dragon King suppressing it. It is rumored that in the most noble imperial tomb, there is a true dragon..."

"Close your heavenly eyes. Everything in the royal tomb is not something you should think about. Now follow me to the White Goose Luck Garden."

The Luck treasure land, from the outside to the inside, the higher the level of the burial inscription Luck formation, the closer it is to the royal tomb.

Chen Shen and his group moved from the White Goose level to the Purple Crane level treasure land.

"The entire Purple Garden has three Golden Scale Tombs. Those are the weakest positions of the tomb formation. However, you are not allowed to observe such tombs."

After patrolling around, it took about four hours.

Not all of the patrol was done on foot. The journey was long, so they used their magical powers to travel.

On the way back, they also encountered the other twenty apprentices.

Everyone looked at each other, nodding slightly.

Most of them were related to each other through internal connections, and they also knew each other in the city.

Before parting, the disciple said, "Once you enter the Purple Garden, you are all part of the Luck Master lineage. I hope you can achieve the level of a White Goose Luck Master as soon as possible and establish your own reputation."

"Chen Shen, you have great talent. You should become a Luck Master as soon as possible. Just becoming an apprentice will grant you three spots in the White Goose-level empty graves, which are bestowed by the royal palace. All the proceeds from the transactions will be yours."

Xu Wenjing said, expressing her own anticipation.

Being buried in the Purple Garden is not something that can be done casually. It requires bidding and qualification verification.

Even if it is a tomb engraved with the White Goose-level Luck Formation, it can be sold for a sky-high price.

Moreover, the graves in the Purple Garden have a time limit, with two options: five hundred years and one thousand years. When the time limit is reached, the graves need to be relocated.

If one continues to be buried in the Purple Garden to absorb Luck, the future generations of the family will be unhappy. It is impossible to continue to flourish.

And this situation is not possible. If it is permanently buried, the Purple Garden will not have enough space for burial, and how will the royal palace continue to profit? Who will support and maintain the Luck Formation of the Luck Master?

...

In the blink of an eye, Chen Shen had been in the Purple Garden for five days.

"We won't have a lecture today. Follow me to the burial." Zhao Decai said to the ten people.

As a Green Sparrow-level Luck Master, he naturally had business opportunities coming to him frequently.

"After becoming an apprentice, in addition to the allocated grave spots, subsequent burial transactions will depend on individual strength. The royal palace sets the price for the designated graves, and Luck Masters of the same level compete based on their strength to obtain the spots.

Zhao Shi has always been ranked in the top three among Green Sparrow-level Luck Masters, and he has burial opportunities almost every three months.

At the same time, those ranked lower need to frequently maintain their graves and ensure that the formations are error-free. As a result, they earn fewer resources.

However, within ten years, everyone will have a guaranteed spot."

The exclusive NPC quietly explained to the newcomer Chen Shen.

"Doesn't that mean gaining attention?" Chen Shen thought to himself.

He didn't like to show off in front of others, but it seemed that in order to secure a burial spot in the Purple Garden, he would have to rely on his actual strength.

As the two were chatting, they walked out of the Purple Garden and arrived at the entrance.

At the entrance, there were more than a dozen people waiting around a coffin.

"Master Zhao, you've arrived." The person in front of them greeted respectfully.

"It's a pity that the True Venerable has fallen." Zhao Decai said regretfully.

"Blame it on the bad luck of our ancestor. He left the Immortal Dynasty's territory to meet a friend and ended up having all his blood sucked dry by that notorious and powerful demonic cultivator. If it weren't for the arrival of the peerless expert from the Illusory Immortal Sect, our ancestor's remains would not have been preserved." The person sighed and explained the reason.

"That demonic cultivator is indeed extraordinary. He has been hunted by the Illusory Immortal Sect for several years, yet he still dares to come out and harm cultivators."

Chen Shen instantly understood that the demonic cultivator mentioned by the person was the notorious great demon who killed one hundred thousand cultivators.

He looked at the True Venerable's coffin and felt a stir in his heart.

Then, the group of people, along with the coffin, followed Zhao Decai into the Purple Garden.

They arrived at an empty grave, and under the witness of the other party, Zhao Decai immediately engraved the Green Sparrow Luck Formation on the coffin.

"Take a good look and learn." He said to the ten people, including Chen Shen, and began to set up the formation.

...

"Let's bury it." After half an hour, Zhao Decai took a deep breath and said.

"Go, fill the grave for your ancestor. Be careful and don't damage the formation." The person in charge on the other side instructed.

"As True Venerable cultivators, we juniors should also contribute by adding some soil to show our respect." Chen Shen said firmly.

In the astonished eyes of the other person, he took the shovel and added soil.

The remaining nine people also had strange expressions.

"Not bad!" It was Zhao Decai who spoke.

"Whether it's a Luck Formation Master or a True Venerable cultivator, we all cultivate under the heavenly path, competing for destiny. We are fellow cultivators and should address each other as Fellow Daoist."

Then, he also added some soil.

There was no other choice. The Luck apprentices all added soil with strange expressions.

...

[Successful burial!]

[Obtained some spiritual roots, obtained immortal cultivation experience.]

[Obtained Divine Ability: Star-shifting Translocation (Great Completion)!]

"Indeed, the Return to Void True Venerable is worthy of its reputation. Starting with a high-grade spiritual root and approaching a peak-grade spiritual root, it's very powerful!" Chen Shen thought to himself.

After waiting for several years, he finally had a great harvest.

His spiritual root had grown, and his experience in the Immortal Dao had reached the level of the Return to Void True Venerable.

In other words, there would be no bottleneck in his breakthrough to the True Venerable level. He didn't need to pave his own way anymore, as there was already a wide road leading to the True Venerable realm!

Furthermore, he also obtained a body technique Divine Ability, the perfected Star-Shifting Step, which allowed him to travel five hundred miles in a single step!

With this Divine Ability, his speed increased by at least twice.

Truly worthy of the Immortal Dynasty, truly worthy of the Purple Garden, where none of the buried cultivators were weak.

...

Time flew by, and a month later, Zhao Decai buried another True Venerable.

"Wonderful, this is the feeling." Chen Shen's soul trembled after receiving the reward.

Another strong cultivator with a high-grade spiritual root, his spiritual root had clearly improved.

However, he himself had a peak-grade spiritual root, so there was still a long way to go.

"Chen Shen, do you know how many spirit stones Zhao Shi earned this time?" On the way back, Xu Wenjing revealed some inside information to Chen Shen.

After the prince set the price, they bid according to this price, and the majority of the resources earned went into the pockets of the Luck Masters.

"A total of eighty thousand high-grade spirit stones!" She stated the amount, her face filled with shock.

"The royal family never loses."

Chen Shen added in his heart.

"We followed Zhao Shi for five years, but we need to study formations diligently and graduate as soon as possible in order to earn spirit stone resources."

Xu Wenjing continued.

Chen Shen nodded slightly.

...

Spring turned to autumn, and half a year later, among the thirty apprentices, the cultivator who had won first place had already advanced to become a White Goose Luck Master and graduated.

"How could it be him? Back then, this person was able to win first place, so there must have been a lot of luck involved. I always thought that Chen Shen had the highest talent."

But now it seemed that Chen Shen was still a bit inferior to him.

Under Zhao Decai's disciples, the nine apprentices discussed among themselves.

Everyone believed that Chen Shen would be the first, but the result was unexpected.

"Chen Shen, focus your attention and don't get distracted." Even Zhao Decai couldn't help but encourage him.

It seemed that his thoughts were in line with everyone else's, but the result was wrong.

"Chen Shen, keep it up. I believe in you." Xu Wenjing still had the appearance of a devoted fan, supporting him wholeheartedly.

...

However, three months later, people continued to graduate one after another, but Chen Shen was still not among them.

"Could it be that this person was also prearranged and didn't rely on his own talent?"

"It's very possible. I guess he's also an apprentice with a lot of luck, maybe even more than us."

Everyone began to speculate and change their thoughts, thinking that Chen Shen must have also taken a backdoor like them.

And his luck was even greater.

"Exposed?" Zhao Decai also had doubts as he looked at Chen Shen, who was sitting in his courtyard with closed eyes, comprehending the Dao.

"Don't worry about how others see you. I still support you. But soon, I will also graduate, so you need to hurry up."

Xu Wenjing, holding the tolerant attitude of an NPC, didn't judge people based on their talent and strength.
