I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 30: High-Quality Immortal Seedlings

Time flew by, and another two months had passed.

Chen Shen silently advanced his cultivation to the late stage of Foundation Building.

"Today is the first day of the Immortal Ascension Conference. Let's go and take a look," Lu Changqing shouted at Chen Shen's doorstep.

He had previously increased his strength significantly and managed to break through once, but he almost died in the formation.

"Senior brother, I can't go. As a corpse collector, how can I neglect my duty?" Chen Shen stuck his head out of the second-floor window and repeatedly refused.

"What are you afraid of? I'm here with you," Lu Changqing said proudly.

Now that he was an inner disciple, his status and position had greatly improved.

And Han Jun no longer dared to openly target him. His life had become much more comfortable than before.

"Senior brother, you go. Don't try to persuade me," Chen Shen said.

"Don't you want to see the immortal seedlings? I heard that this recruitment ceremony is more grand than ever before."

"Let's forget it. I'm fine staying at Heaven Burial Mountain."

"Fine." Lu Changqing left uninterestedly.

Chen Shen watched his departing figure and muttered to himself, "What's so interesting about immortal seedlings? If they don't grow up, no matter how talented they are, they're still just seedlings."

A month and a half later, he raised his cultivation again and reached the perfect stage of the first level. It wouldn't be long before he broke through to the second level.

During this time, the Immortal Ascension Conference became even more sensational. Despite many geniuses being monopolized by the top sects, three exceptional talents with high-quality spiritual roots emerged.

The top forces came to Cangwu Sect to recruit these three geniuses. In the end, Ye Shuangman negotiated with them and managed to keep one sixteen-year-old genius.

He personally took this young man as his disciple and held a grand disciple-recruitment banquet.

Everyone praised Ye Shuangman's ability. He actually added another high-quality spiritual root prodigy to Cangwu Immortal Sect, and both of them had the potential to achieve Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, their relationship with him was not shallow. The first one was his fiancée, and the second one was his disciple.

If these two achieved Nascent Soul stage, he would probably be the biggest beneficiary.

However, there were also discordant voices, saying that Ye Shuangman had directly used the sect's resources at a great cost to keep that genius.

Ding Ling!

The corpse collection bell rang, and Chen Shen opened his eyes while sitting on the bed.

When he arrived at the edge of the Heavenly Bridge, he didn't see any corpses. Instead, he saw three people standing there.

One was Sun, the steward who had been embezzling his salary, and the other two were young people, a man and a woman.

"Chen Shen, they will work with you from now on. Teach them more," Sun said, pointing at the two.

The two of them were bewildered and curious about everything around them.

"We've seen Senior Brother Chen." When they heard Sun calling Chen Shen's name, they nervously saluted him.

Obviously, they had received training before coming here, and their movements were quite professional.

Sun left, and the two introduced themselves.

The boy's name was Meng Bo, seventeen years old, from the state of Wu.

The girl's name was Yu Panqiu, and she was also from the same hometown as Chen Shen. She had a beautiful appearance.

The two of them were curious about everything related to Heaven Burial Mountain and asked cautiously, gradually becoming more familiar.

However, when Meng Bo found out that Chen Shen was still a mortal, his enthusiasm diminished.

On the other hand, Yu Panqiu found Chen Shen easy to talk to and bombarded him with questions.

"Senior Brother Chen, how many people are there in your family? Are you married?"

"I'm not married yet. Before I came here, my father said he wanted to arrange a marriage for me. Unfortunately, after coming here, I don't know if there will be a chance to meet a good match."

Chen Shen didn't continue this topic and instead pointed to two small dilapidated houses in the distance. "You can stay there for now. There are no extra rooms."

"Then where do you live, Senior Brother Chen?"

Yu Panqiu looked at the two wooden houses and blinked her big eyes, asking Chen Shen.

"There!" Chen Shen pointed in a different direction.

The two looked over and saw two luxurious small lofts about a mile away, with beautiful scenery and flowing water under small bridges.

Meng Bo frowned slightly, about to speak, but Yu Panqiu preempted him:

"Senior brother, are there other people living there? Can I stay?"

"No, there are already people."

Chen Shen said everything he needed to say and then left. Before leaving, he reminded, "Both of those buildings have formations. Don't wander around recklessly, or you'll die."

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Changqing returned from the first peak.

"I heard from Supervisor Sun that there are new recruits at Heaven Burial Mountain?"

Outside the attic, he set up a table of food and invited Chen Shen over, asking, "Yes," Chen Shen nodded, not saying much, and took the only chicken leg to eat.

"So soon. By the way, I'll go ask Supervisor Sun for two bells tomorrow. I can't let you guard alone."

Lu Changqing thought for a moment and said.

While the two were eating, he suddenly asked, "Are both of those people male?"

"No, there's a young girl in her twenties. She's quite cute and she's from the same hometown as us."

Chen Shen lowered his head and picked at his food. When he looked up, he found that Lu Changqing had already left the courtyard.

"Senior brother, where did you go?"

"To invite the new recruits to dinner. Clean up the table and put the plates in the cabinet in the room after you finish eating."

"Senior brother, you're experienced, why rush things?"

"Junior brother, be careful with your words."

Not long after, the two new recruits arrived here.

Yu Panqiu blushed and was pleasantly surprised when she was invited. When she found out that someone else was here, she immediately agreed.

As for Meng Bo, Lu Changqing knocked on the wrong door.

"What's going on? I feel like the spiritual energy here has become much stronger."

Meng Bo said strangely as he entered the courtyard.

"Is that so?" Yu Panqiu casually replied. She couldn't sense any spiritual energy.

She sat next to Chen Shen and greeted him.

"It seems that this new recruit still has spiritual roots." Lu Changqing was slightly surprised.

Then, the four of them ate and chatted.

Lu Changqing talked the most, followed by Meng Bo.

After learning that Lu Changqing was an inner disciple, Meng Bo kept asking questions about cultivation.

Lu Changqing was talkative, and now that he could guide the new recruits as a senior, he seemed quite willing.

In fact, Yu Panqiu also talked a lot. She kept looking for opportunities to talk to Chen Shen, but he was absent-minded and responded casually.

She didn't take it personally, but occasionally she would secretly glance at his sharp profile.

In the end, Meng Bo looked at Lu Changqing hesitantly, but when he looked at the small dilapidated house in the distance, his face turned red and he said, "Senior brother Lu, junior brother has an unusual request. Can you agree to it? Junior brother wants to stay here. Firstly, the spiritual energy here is rich, so junior brother can cultivate faster. Secondly, there are only the two of us here as cultivators, which makes it convenient for us to communicate. Junior brother also has many questions that he would like senior brother to answer."

However, Lu Changqing looked at Yu Panqiu and smiled, "Miss Yu, your wooden house is not suitable for living. There are often mice running around. It would be better for you to stay here. You can stay on the first floor, and I'll stay on the second floor. There won't be any inconvenience."

Upon hearing this, Yu Panqiu's face turned pale with fear. She looked at Chen Shen with a pleading expression.

"WTF??" Chen Shen was speechless.

I can't possibly let Meng Bo see her, right?

He could only pretend not to hear and lowered his head to eat.

Yu Panqiu's eyes flashed with disappointment, but in order to stay away from the mice, she could only nod at Lu Changqing with a slightly blushing face.

Then, Lu Changqing looked at Meng Bo with satisfaction, "You've seen it too. Junior sister Yu wants to stay with me. If you really don't want to stay in that shabby house, you can ask for Chen junior brother's opinion."

"No!" Chen Shen didn't even lift his head and straightforwardly refused.

Are you kidding? I haven't even let the girl stay.

"This..." Meng Bo's face looked a bit embarrassed.

Please vote for me.

First update, then revise.
