Chapter 31: Chen Changsheng in the Booming Business of Sea of Suffering Town, Xuanwu Kingdom
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s indifferent demeanor, Yixiu rolled his eyes and spoke up.
“I can’t stand such a heartless guy like you. I’m leaving now. After a thousand or eight hundred years, I’ll come back to collect your corpse.”
With that, Yixiu turned and left, while Wanyan Yue took a deep look at Chen Changsheng before following Yixiu’s footsteps.
Watching Yixiu’s retreating figure, Chen Changsheng merely smiled at the corner of his mouth but said nothing.
The Little Monk always claimed he couldn’t match himself, but he was actually very clever.
When Niansheng began to emerge in the Linglong Sect, he had just encountered her.
At that time, Niansheng was already over ten years old, and with the time he spent in Lingling Small Town, over eighty years had passed.
Considering the condition that he and Niansheng had known each other for a long time, one could roughly estimate how long he had lived.
He had only been a minor qi refining cultivator then; living this long defied logic.
However, Yixiu had never asked him this question.
Thinking this, Chen Changsheng stretched lazily and turned to look back at the country, murmuring to himself.
“I heard this country is called Xuanwu Kingdom; I wonder what fun things it has.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng leisurely walked down the mountain.
……
Sea of Suffering Town, Xuanwu Kingdom.
“Sir, you have to help me this time!”
A two-meter tall man squeezed through the crowd surrounding the shop and then knelt down in front of Chen Changsheng.
Seeing the burly man before him, Chen Changsheng quickly helped him up, saying.
“Da Zhuang, just tell me what’s wrong. Whatever I can help with, I will.”
Hearing this, the burly man wiped away the tears on his face and pulled out a few bloody spiritual stones from his pocket, saying.
“Sir, this is all my savings. I will definitely gather the rest of the spiritual stones.”
“I just ask that you help my brother return to full form.”
Looking at the wooden board covered with a cloth not far away, Chen Changsheng shook his head and sighed.
“Business is business; there’s no such thing as delaying.”
“I know you two brothers make a living by gathering herbs.”
“Just so happens I need some medicinal materials recently; I can purchase your herbs. What do you think?”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Da Zhuang suppressed his grief and brought over the wicker basket from the side.
Chen Changsheng glanced casually and estimated the value of the medicinal materials to be about three inferior spiritual stones at most, as they were all low-grade materials and not in good condition.
“Not bad; these are all the top-grade materials I need. I’ll offer one hundred spiritual stones for the purchase.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng took the wicker basket and handed Da Zhuang a beast skin bag.
“To handle the funeral, the minimum standard is one hundred spiritual stones. Recently at the shop, there’s a promotion; how about I also give you a good coffin?”
“Thank you, sir! I will always remember your great kindness.”
One hundred spiritual stones went through the necessary process and again landed in Chen Changsheng’s hands, while he walked towards the nearby wooden board.
Slowly lifting the cloth, a mangled corpse suddenly came into view before Chen Changsheng.
Facing such a scene, the onlookers felt their stomachs churn violently.
“What happened?”
“A few days ago, we discovered a century-old spiritual herb, but it was guarded by a monster beast.”
“When I realized how powerful the monster beast was, I didn’t even think about picking the herb.”
“But who would have thought Er Zhuang secretly went to pick it; when I arrived, all that was left was a corpse.”
“This is all my fault; he wanted to use the herbs to exchange for resources for me!”
As he spoke, Da Zhuang, kneeling on the ground, wept uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng shook his head and took out a complete set of professional tools.
The sound of flesh scraping filled everyone’s ears, and some with weaker stomachs had already run aside to vomit.
Yet, Chen Changsheng remained calm, whispering to himself.
“Follow the muscle structure, connect the bones, limbs first and then the torso, the organs cannot be disordered…”
As Chen Changsheng’s hands continued to move, the mutilated corpse gradually began to take shape.
After a whole hour of busy work, Chen Changsheng finally completed the assembly of the corpse.
Some missing parts were also filled in by Chen Changsheng using other materials.
Once done, Chen Changsheng took out a high-quality coffin and gently placed the corpse inside.
“Ah!”
He let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said.
“The funeral work is complete. Go see your brother for the last time; hurry and let him rest in peace.”
With that, Chen Changsheng ignored Da Zhuang and instead walked straight to a nearby table to start treating someone’s injuries.
Seeing Chen Changsheng so busy, a burly man with a broken arm laughed and said.
“Sir, aren’t you involved in too many industries?”
“It seems you’ve taken care of everything for the funeral, and you’re also refining medicine and treating injuries. Just a few days ago, I saw you inscribing array formations on coffins.”
“You’re not planning to start another project, are you?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng shot the man a glance and replied.
“Isn’t this forced out by you all?”
“I originally sold coffins, but then some people brought nearly-dead individuals to buy them from me.”
“Seeing that the person still had hope, could I just watch him d*e?”
“But in the end, instead of being grateful, they went out and spread that my medical skills were extraordinary.”
“The crowd kept increasing, so I had no choice but to open a clinic!”
“Now, not only have I opened a clinic, but you guys also covet my medicine and still want to pay for it.”
“Those people pestered me for an entire month; I had to start refining medicine.”
As Chen Changsheng spoke, he exerted force with his hands, causing the burly man to let out a scream akin to a slaughtered pig.
“Snap!”
Just as the bones were reset, Chen Changsheng quickly applied a plaster to the broken arm.
“Alright, your hand will be able to move in a month.”
“Try to fight less in the future; you’re only at the third layer of body refinement. The one you fought was at least at the fifth layer.”
“Had he not held back, your right hand would probably be useless now.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s nagging, the burly man grinned and said.
“Sir, this time it was my oversight. I won’t lose to him next time.”
“The three-sun body-refining technique I practice is a profound-grade technique, while his is merely a high-level yellow-grade technique.”
“That’s why he won, relying only on his higher realm.”
“Once I reach the fourth layer of body refinement, just wait and see me challenge above my level.”
Listening to the man’s grandiose words, Chen Changsheng curled his lips, not continuing to persuade him.
Because the aggressive nature of Xuanwu Kingdom was already ingrained in their bones.
Convincing them not to be competitive was harder than convincing them not to breathe.
