I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 20: Hidden Beauty in the Golden Chamber

After the grand ceremony of the True Transmission ended, many female cultivators came to ask for Chen Shen's name.

"May I ask for the young master's name, how many people are there in your family, which peak do you live on, and are you married?"

Some female cultivators directly stopped him in his tracks, their eyes full of charm as they asked with a smile.

To be honest, Chen Shen was very confident in his appearance because in his previous life, he was often stopped by girls asking for his contact information.

In the world of cultivation, although his face was not considered top-notch, it still had a certain market value.

But he didn't have time to think about these things now because he was troubled by Lu Changqing's matter.

"Sister, please be respectful. I am already married, and my wife manages me strictly, not allowing me to talk to other female cultivators."

Chen Shen could only make up a lie to refuse, and it worked every time.

The female cultivators who were inquiring reluctantly left, muttering to themselves:

"What a lucky wife, she actually got ahead of us."

He could only shake his head helplessly in response.

Meanwhile, Lu Changqing, who was walking together with Chen Shen, was pondering their next steps, but he was annoyed by these scenes.

"I didn't expect that coming out with my junior brother would make me a background character. My junior brother often makes fun of me, but he never thought that he himself would also attract attention. If it weren't for the constraints of Heaven Burial Mountain, I'm afraid my junior brother would be even more popular than me."

Faced with Lu Changqing's sarcastic tone, Chen Shen had to change the subject: "Senior brother, have you thought about what to do?"

The former sighed and answered with distress, "We'll take it step by step. At least we can't escape directly. Here, I still have Big Brother Jin Ao watching over me. Once we leave the sect, that's when we'll be trapped in a net of heaven and earth, facing endless pursuit from Han Jun."

Chen Shen nodded. He had thought about it before, and escaping was indeed not a good plan.

With Lu Changqing's cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refining, it would be fine if he was alone, but if he had to protect his family, it would be inconvenient.

Moreover, there were many methods in the immortal world. Who knew what kind of strange tracking techniques the other party possessed? If they were caught, they would face the risk of extermination.

"I provoked a powerful enemy while cultivating outside. It's only right for me to die. I can't involve my family." Lu Changqing spoke again.

"Senior brother, I think life only comes once, and we shouldn't be reckless. You should ask your big brother to mediate. If it can be resolved, then resolve it as soon as possible."

Chen Shen advised, but the other party shook his head firmly: "Senior brother, I don't know where my junior brother learned his cautiousness, but as cultivators, we cultivate not only our physical strength but also our hearts. Xiao Ma has gone through hardships with us, and we have experienced life and death together. How can we just let this matter go? The true culprit is dead, but the fact that Han Jun abandoned us cannot be forgotten in this lifetime."

"Senior brother, your righteousness is admirable, but you should also consider your brothers. They also have their own lives and shouldn't be ruined because of your loyalty."

Chen Shen tried to persuade again.

This time, Lu Changqing pondered for a moment and felt that his words made sense. He nodded and said, "I will go and discuss with my brothers to see what choices they make."

After Lu Changqing left, Chen Shen returned to Heaven Burial Mountain alone. On the way, he noticed someone following him, and his body immediately tensed, his eyes becoming cold.

Bang!

It seemed that the other party was about to make a move, and Chen Shen's heart almost stopped.

Fortunately, nothing happened. He sensed that someone else had intercepted them, and only when he walked far away did he hear their conversation.

"Sister, what do you mean by stopping me?"

"I want to know what you meant by making a move on that mortal."

"Don't pretend to be aloof, I'll be straightforward with you. I have taken a liking to that handsome man and want to bring him back to the Golden Chamber to hide him away. Don't tell me you don't have such thoughts."

"So what if I do?"

"You admit it so confidently!"

Damn!

Chen Shen was shocked to hear the conversation and immediately increased his pace.

"The outer sect is really dangerous. I almost lost my innocence. It's better to return to Heaven Burial Mountain for a sense of security."

After returning to the mountain, Chen Shen felt a sense of urgency. He felt that his strength was still not enough, otherwise, he wouldn't have all these troubles.

After practicing for the whole afternoon, Lu Changqing's cultivation had increased slightly, and at this time, Lu Changqing also returned.

"What happened?"

"As soon as Cheng Rengang became a true disciple, he went to talk to Jin Aochuan. It's hard to say how things will turn out. We have to negotiate tomorrow."

Lu Changqing said expressionlessly, but he also lacked some confidence in his heart.

When he consulted his group of brothers, their answers were vague and hesitant. It was only when they saw his bad mood that they expressed their willingness to stand with him.

"Let's wait until tomorrow." Lu Changqing sighed.

The next morning, he went to negotiate.

Cheng Rengang dared to challenge Jin Aochuan as soon as he became a true disciple, not only because of his own strength, but also because of his background.

His father was a ninth-level steward of the First Peak's Foundation Building, his older brother had been a true disciple for many years, and his sister was a closed-door disciple of the Elder of the Refining Peak.

Now that he had become a true disciple himself, he naturally had the right to speak.

Jin Aochuan's biggest reliance was, of course, his grandfather, who was a Gold Core cultivator, which was more than enough.

Therefore, this was not just a competition between disciples of the inner and outer sects, but also a test between two second-generation immortals.

In the afternoon, Chen Shen, who was cultivating in his room, could faintly hear Lu Changqing's angry voice.

"I'm so angry, I'm really angry!"

Chen Shen quickly got up and pulled open a corner of the curtain, and saw Lu Changqing with a grim face.

He didn't show himself, as the other party was still angry. It would be better to have a drink and talk later in the afternoon.

But would Lu Changqing, who was so angry, still want to have a drink with Chen Shen? The answer was definitely yes.

The best way to vent emotions was to confide in someone, and with Lu Changqing's talkative personality, he really wanted to find someone to talk to.

Sure enough, at dusk, Lu Changqing shouted for Chen Shen at the door on time.

He didn't come in.

It wasn't that Chen Shen hadn't advised him to put away the formation, but the other party had replied with a troubled expression, "Senior brother, I am a weak mortal. If I encounter a sneak attack at night, the formation can protect me."

At the dining table, Chen Shen spoke first, "Senior brother, did the negotiation go smoothly?"

Although Lu Changqing had already accepted reality, he still couldn't help but get angry when this was mentioned.

"Those scoundrels, I have never treated them unfairly before. I have even treated them better than Han Jun. But as soon as we sat down for negotiations, those bastards were already prepared to apologize."

Chen Shen admitted that it was human nature.

He couldn't say that they had betrayed Lu Changqing, but it was just because they were weak and wanted to survive. No one wanted to be constantly targeted by others.

They had already been brave once before, and it wasn't worth taking another risk.

And they were following Lu Changqing, not Jin Aochuan, so they didn't offend the latter. But after this, those people and Lu Changqing went their separate ways.

"Let it go, our friendship is over. This is just a small matter. The main thing is your situation with Han Jun. Is it resolved?"

Chen Shen thought for a moment and comforted him.

"Hmph! A bunch of cowards. They're afraid of Han Jun, but I'm not. Whatever tricks he has, I'll take them on." Lu Changqing was indignant.

"But Han Jun is about to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining. Your plan is just a temporary solution."

Chen Shen had some understanding of formations and knew that formations that could withstand cultivators above the seventh level of Qi Refining were extremely expensive, estimated to cost ten thousand spirit stones each.

For someone like Lu Changqing from the outer sect, a few thousand spirit stones would be the limit. They wouldn't be able to afford higher-grade ones.
