Chapter 509: 509

The cultivation technique that he had was called the ’Death March’, and it was a method that allowed one to refine Qi from the heaven and earth essence . However, the price one had to pay was rather grave .

The technique would cause the energy that one refined to be oozing of death energy, and one’s life force would slowly get corroded until one became an undead .

This technique had never caught Xue Wei’s eyes before, as it was quite reckless to harm oneself for faster advance . Although one’s strength would rise, the price to pay would be incredibly high, but now that they were in the Ghost Realm, this ability was quite useful .

If ghosts could cultivate, then this would, without a doubt, be the most beneficial technique for them, as it would not only provide them with Qi, but also death energy .

Xue Wei quickly memorized the technique before he found a small jade tablet . He placed it at his forehead, and then injected the technique into the jade tablet . He was not going to give the original copy of this cultivation method away, but a copy could easily be sold to this middle-aged ghost .

Even more so, because he would be able to test it for Xue Wei, and inform him whether or not it was possible for ghosts to cultivate . When he got this information, he would be able to plan even better for their future lives .

The middle-aged ghost was not aware that Xue Wei was giving him a copy . He did not know what these jade tablets were used for; he thought that this was the natural way of giving away a cultivation technique .

However, even if he was aware that it was merely a copy, he would still be over the moon with excitement .

He was a merchant, and he understood that one had to keep their cards close at hand . Giving away such a valuable treasure like this cultivation method was not wise .

The merchant took a ghost storage treasure and handed it to Xue Wei in return for the jade tablet .

Xue Wei did not open the bag, as it would be quite rude to check the money right away, but he could guess that the amount of spiritual liquid he had gotten from this transaction should be more than the one hundred kilos he had gained earlier .

The middle-aged man had no time to waste on Xue Wei . He sat down and looked at the jade tablet in puzzlement . What was he supposed to do to activate it?

Seeing his confusion, Xue Wei smiled wryly . The culture in the living world and the Ghost Realm were genuinely different . The things they considered normal were foreign here, and the weirdest machines were used here, which had never before been seen in the world of the living, were confusing to them .

"You inject your mind into the tablet," Xue Wei explained . "Then, the information stored within will be projected into your mind . "

The middle-aged ghost nodded his head . His face was solemn, and his actions very cautious as he injected his mind into the tablet . Moments after, the cultivation technique had embedded itself in his mind, and he could not forget it again, even if he wanted to .

The middle-aged ghost took a deep breath . He was a ghost, but he had been a human once, and he had meridians in his body . However, these meridians had never been used before, and were blocked by impurities .

The ghosts cultivated their soul . The bodies that they controlled were nothing special to them, and thus they did not care that their meridians were blocked by impurities that had gathered from not cultivating the heaven and earth essence properly .

Looking at his meridians, the brow of the ghost began to furrow . He was not sure what to do now, and proceeded to explain the current situation to Xue Wei .

Xue Wei was deep in thought, and then he said, "I have a Marrow-Cleansing pill .

historical

"The Marrow-Cleansing Pill is actually a pill that people who begin cultivating use, so the medicinal properties are relatively gentle . However, the pain you will experience when consuming it cannot be explained in a few words .

"The pill forcefully expels all the impurities from the meridians and the marrow, but I am not sure if it works on the body of a ghost . And if it does, I am not sure if there are any downsides . "

"How many of these pills do you heave?" the merchant’s eyes glistened with cunningness, and Xue Wei raised an eyebrow in curiosity . "I have quite a few," he said honestly .

"Can you sell me two?" The middle-aged ghost was starting to feel that he was taking advantage of Xue Wei, but these tests were quite useful to him and Lan as well, so he did not even need to think it through before he found two small round red pills which he handed over .

"Come with me . " The middle-aged ghost went to one of the other carriages . It was a small carriage, and inside were ghosts that were held in cages . Xue Wei could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise . So there were slaves in the Ghost World too?

One of these caged ghosts was taken out of the cage, locked with a chain around her neck, and another around her wrists . She looked tenacious and angry, but not submissive as one would have expected from a slave .

The middle-aged ghost went to her place and put the pill right in her mouth . He wanted to use her as a test to see whether or not it was possible for ghosts to consume the pills that came from the world of the living .
