Immortality Begins with Collecting Corpses

After transmigrating into the body of a weak little constable in the Great Kang Dynasty, Su Mo only wants to stay alive until retirement.

But the world is in chaos: demons run rampant, evil cultivators are everywhere, and his teammates keep trying to drag him into suicidal heroics.

Then, forced to finish off an enemy, he touches a corpse that's still warm...

[Ding! Three years of lifespan acquired!]

Staring at the System panel, Su Mo falls into thought:

“So getting stronger really just means... touching more people?”

From then on, he embarks on a martial arts path unlike any other.

Others spend ten years in painstaking training. He touches a corpse and gets a full-body infusion of mastery in a single day.

Others worry themselves bald trying to break through. He spends his lifespan to calculate and refine his skills, turning a health-preserving art into the “Ten-Thousand-Year Tortoise Technique.”

The county magistrate considers him a lucky charm, his colleagues think he's just lucky, and demons flee whenever they see him.

Only Su Mo knows the truth: he's just a cautious man diligently “scavenging” in a chaotic world.

Until one day, a prodigy from an immortal sect looks down at him and asks:

“Where did you get all that cultivation?”

Su Mo wipes the hand he just used to touch a corpse and answers sincerely:

“You might not believe me... I mostly just got lucky, and I happen to care about sustainable development.”
