After managing the aftermath for Zhao Jingtao of the Qingting Sect, it probably took about half a day before a black-robed mage from the Mo Zhu Mountain Discipline Hall located the missing 'flesh body' left from that 'skin shell' and brought it to Li Fan on a stretcher at the charitable graveyard.
"This man's dharma name is Pu Shan, a Golden Core cultivator. I don't know his secular name or place of origin. He currently resides at the Iron Buddha Temple in the Jiujang Prefecture of Xun Country, hired to guard the merchant caravans of the Jianchang Marquis Mansion as they enter the mountains.
The implication from the Jianchang Marquis Mansion is that this person is a roaming cultivator who came from the Central Plains. Although temporarily employed by Xun Country, he is not a trusted retainer of the mansion, and they are unaware of his background. They claim that they are unrelated to this matter and are willing to compensate with some money to calm the brother's nerves."
