Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 514: 514

While Xue Wei could bring Qi cultivation to the Ghost Realm, it was not as outstanding as one might expect .

To be able to use this Qi cultivation, one needed a Marrow-Cleansing Pill, or to have just created their spiritual bodies . The Marrow-Cleansing pills could not be created in the Ghost Realm, and those who had just recently become ghosts were also not capable of getting their hands on a Qi cultivation method .

So, even if the method got spread throughout the entire Ghost Realm, it was still impossible to train in it without the assistance of Xue Wei .

The middle-aged ghost was not willing to announce the cultivation method to the rest of the world as it would not do him any good .

The world was such that no one would be happy if others had something unattainable, and thus they would destroy it since they could not get it .

The Ghost Realm was no different, and when the high ranked experts found out that it was impossible to learn the technique themselves, they would unleash their anger onto the middle-aged ghost, and kill him, so that the skill which they could not control would vanish .

It was better that it vanished than it landing in the hands of someone else .

Xue Wei was somewhat familiar with human nature, and he understood that this was the likely result . Hence, he also knew that the middle-aged ghost was an excellent working partner . He would never dare to reveal anything to ensure his own safety .

The female ghost was equally unlikely to say anything to others . She had already experienced the agony and despair of not being in charge of her own life, and thus she was going to be extra careful .

As such, Xue Wei did not have to say anything, but even so, these two ghosts were going to keep every secret that he might have, out of fear of someone turning their greedy eyes to them .

Lan, who had been trying to loosen the seal, could not help but smirk when watching the two ghosts .

He knew that the ultimate winner so far was Xue Wei . He had earned a fortune from selling his goods, he had also managed to get a loyal guide, and even the merchant, who one would usually have to guard against, was willing to cover his back to ensure that he was not threatened .

This was truly getting the best profits for the least amount of work . Lan had to admit that Xue Wei was rather shrewd .

While everyone knew that Xue Wei was the biggest winner, no one felt unhappy . They had each taken what they needed, and the time slowly ticked by .

The following morning, the caravan left the village, and once more set the direction towards the capital of the region .

It was a long, tedious journey, but the ghosts were entirely focused on cultivating, and so was Xue Wei . Lan had managed to loosen his seal a tiny bit, so although he still had strength similar to a King ranked expert, it was no longer as one who had just broken through to the level .

Xue Wei had also benefited greatly from the vast essence in the air . His cultivation rank was just on the verge of breaking through into the King rank, but he knew that he could not rush it . He had to take the time it took to fully transcend the mortal body .

Just as when cultivating, one had to look after a steady foundation, the spiritual body turned out to be the foundation that one’s immortal life was built upon .

If the body was not created in the right way, then it would be impossible to continue advancing in the cultivation world .

This was an error that many experts made . They were blinded by the excitement and would rush to the King rank as soon as they began feeling the changes in their body . However, Xue Wei knew that although his body had started showing signs of changing, he had to continue refining the essence and storing the Qi, letting it slowly change his body, cell by cell .

Lan had not told Xue Wei about this knowledge . It was not that he did not want to help the younger man; however, cultivation was a journey that one had to travel alone . Enlightenment and understanding differed from person to person, and if someone was told how to cultivate and when to do what, their comprehension would lower . Thus their affinity with the dao would be damaged .

While many people were unaware of this, Lan was a deity, so he understood the disadvantages .

Xue Wei had been told a bit about cultivating before, but this had never been to a point where someone was guiding him through his cultivation, and thus his comprehension was remarkable . Lan did not doubt that when this young man became a deity, he would have a good affinity with the different Daos .

While the group kept moving forward, not many words were exchanged in the carriage . Everyone was busy on their own, and the female ghost was shocking the middle-aged ghost, even making his face turn somewhat ugly from time to time .

While both of them were novices to the Qi cultivation world, and while they had begun cultivating at almost the same time, it was shocking to see that the female ghost’s breath was growing stronger much quicker than the middle-aged one’s .

While she was not rushing through the ranks, it could be clearly sensed that her energy was in another category than his . The Qi was much purer, and her body was absorbing more of the essence .

Even Xue Wei could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise . She was shockingly talented .
