Chapter 79: It’s time to collect corpses again

"My Lord asked me to find out about three things, but I have only found out about them so far..." Chen Hu said with a strange look on his face.

It would be strange if it weren't weird...

Which normal person would ask where there are dead people?

Moreover, ordinary private individuals are not acceptable. They must be innate warriors or immortal cultivators, and they must have died recently. Those who have died too long ago are not acceptable either...

"Three times? That's pretty good. Tell me about it!" Chen Changsheng said.

"Yes, my lord. The first case occurred in Lujia Town outside the city. The son of a congenital master was too arrogant and offended a passing cultivator. As a result, his entire family was brutally exterminated..."

"The second incident happened the day before yesterday. Yao Chong, the Wind Chaser, challenged the Chongxu Swordsman but failed and was killed on the spot. His body is now in the Yao Family Ancestral Hall!"

"The third case is about an elder of the Zhou family who practiced Taoism and passed away. He was buried in the Zhou family's ancestral tomb a few days ago..." Chen Hu said respectfully.

"Two innate masters and one immortal cultivator... Well, you did a good job, there's a reward!"

As Chen Changsheng spoke, he threw a few pills over...

"Thank you for the reward, my Lord!"

Chen Hu was overjoyed and kowtowed respectfully.

Last time, the master just threw down a pill, and he was promoted directly from a fourth-grade warrior to a third-grade warrior. He knew that he, Chen Hu, had encountered the fate of becoming an immortal!

The master is definitely not an ordinary person, but an immortal cultivator!

The residents here are so close to the immortal cultivators' market, there are always some lucky ones who get some benefits from the immortal cultivators, and thus the news is widely spread. Chen Hu knows that he is one of those lucky ones!

Moreover, the master he met was different from other cultivators...

Investigating the dead body, this is clearly the legendary style of demonic cultivators...

But what does it have to do with him?

As long as it is beneficial to him and can make him stronger, that's enough!

"Well, the red one is the Essence and Blood Pill, which can strengthen your physique and blood. I don't need to say much about the other kind of pill!"

"You have found out three pieces of information that I need, so I will reward you with three pills. Do you understand what I mean?" Chen Changsheng said lightly.

"I understand, I understand. I understand. I will send my subordinates out right away and will definitely get more information that the master wants!" Chen Hu said excitedly.

A piece of news is a pill, and a pill can make him a top-three rank expert!

He is going crazy!

As for what will happen to those dead people afterwards?

Do you have any relationship with him?

"Well, go ahead. This will be your contact point from now on. I don't like seeing strangers. If you have something to do and can't stay here, just leave a note!"

Chen Changsheng's voice was very soft, but it brought great pressure to Chen Hu...

"Yes, my lord!" Chen Hu nodded vigorously.

If possible, he didn't want his master to have contact with his subordinates.

What if the master takes a fancy to someone else? Wouldn’t he be useless?

"Of the three locations, the one outside the city is the easiest. Let's go check it out first..."

Lujia Town, a large mansion in the center of the town!

"Including the master and the servants, all 38 members of the family were killed..."

"What a cruel method..."

"However, the murderer wasn't a cultivator, but a warrior... It seems someone is deliberately trying to sow suspicion... However, this has nothing to do with me... I can just collect the body..."

"Lu Chengfeng: Male, 52 years old, died from a heart attack!"

"Last wish: "Kill Lu Tao and take back the 'Insect Control Scripture'!"

"The Book of Controlling Insects"?

It doesn't sound like a mortal martial art, but rather a bit like the insect-controlling technique among the hundred arts of immortal cultivation...

Worth pursuing!

After all, this is not an ordinary mortal world, but a place where cultivators practice closely.

The mortals here are all descendants of immortal cultivators, so it seems... normal for them to have the things of immortal cultivators!

"Lu Tao, Lu Chengfeng... they both have the surname Lu, so maybe they're relatives... Well, let Chen Hu check it out later..."

"Corpse rating: Extraordinary one star, reward: three Extraordinary Essence Blood Pills and three True Qi Pills!"

The bodies of the 38 members of the family were all here, so Chen Changsheng naturally did not waste them and collected them one by one. However, these were just ordinary corpses. For Chen Changsheng, they were not of much use except for replenishing the ordinary Essence Blood Pills and Inner Breath Pills.

Their last wishes were varied, and Chen Changsheng was too lazy to fulfill them.

A mortal's last wish is fulfilled, and the best reward is a life span...

But Chen Changsheng now really has no shortage of lifespan. He can live longer than those Foundation Establishment True Immortals. If he continues like this, he might be comparable to the Golden Core Ancestor...

"The second one is the Yao Family Ancestral Hall!"

How can I see Yao Chong’s body?

In fact, it is very simple, just reveal your identity as a cultivator!

Yao Chong died, and the presence of immortal cultivators in mourning was a happy event for the Yao family. This reputation alone was enough to intimidate many people with ill intentions...

Of course, Chen Changsheng did not reveal his true face. For Chen Changsheng, putting on makeup and disguising himself was a piece of cake!

"Yao Chong, male, 32 years old, died after a sword energy pierced his aorta!"

"Last wish: Let my son Yao Hong embark on the path of immortal cultivation!"

Damn...

Your last wish is really awesome!

You yourself are not a cultivator, yet you want your son to cultivate?

Does your son have spiritual roots?

Definitely not!

As a congenitally powerful being, he is definitely considered an upper-class existence in the mortal city and can easily come into contact with immortal cultivators. If he has spiritual roots, even the lowest-grade spiritual roots, he would have been accepted as a disciple long ago. How could he wait until now?

It’s not that low-grade spiritual roots are also in high demand.

But, in the world of cultivating immortals, there are many miscellaneous tasks that require cultivators to be competent. Even if one has low-grade spiritual roots, after a few years of hard practice, one can enter the first level of Qi training. Fighting is definitely useless, but doing miscellaneous tasks is still possible!

"You want to cultivate immortality without spiritual roots? Then you can only practice martial arts to become a congenital master. Being able to absorb spiritual energy can also be considered a disguised form of cultivation. I wonder if this guy has the qualifications. Is Yao Chong's last wish reward worth my training..."

"Corpse rating: Extraordinary one star, reward: five super-grade Essence Blood Pills and four True Qi Pills!"

Well, the corpse evaluation yielded quite a good harvest. Considering these medicinal pills, I'll leave a few Essence Blood Pills and Inner Breath Pills for Yao Chong's son. As for his future fortune, it all depends on him...

"Master, my husband..." Yao Chong's widow looked at Chen Changsheng with tears in her eyes.

"His life is over, even gods can't save him... Alas, what a pity... I heard from Yao Chong that he has a son. Where is he?" Chen Changsheng pretended to sigh.

"Yao Hong, Yao Hong, come here quickly and pay homage to the Immortal Master!" Yao Chong's widow said hurriedly.

"Yao Hong pays homage to the Immortal Master!"

A child about eight or nine years old, dressed in mourning, saluted Chen Changsheng very sensibly.

"Well, this boy has good aptitude and may be able to inherit Yao Chong's legacy. Let's leave these things to him. I hope he can revive his father's reputation soon!" Chen Changsheng said, tossing a bottle over, and then turned to leave the ancestral hall...

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master. Your kindness and generosity will never be forgotten!"

Yao Chong's widow knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically to Chen Changsheng...

Originally, with Yao Chong dead, she was afraid that she would not be able to protect the foundation left by Yao Chong, but now with the appearance of the Immortal Master, no one dared to pay attention to her anymore...

"Well, now there's only one target left, the Zhou family's ancestral tomb!"

"Hehe, it's true that enemies always come together. I'm about to clash with the Zhou family again. I hope this time, I can get something good..."
