Chapter 513: 513
Xue Wei was aware that the middle-aged ghost had realized that cultivating was possible .
He had no intention of hiding it from him . Although the ghost had been rather profit minded, he had helped them, and had not done anything to cause trouble, so it was only natural that Xue Wei also repaid the kindness somehow .
Also, the jade tablet that the middle-aged ghost had been given was already used up . It could not impart the cultivation technique into another ghost"s mind .
Unless the middle-aged ghost found another way to copy the knowledge within his mind, then it would be impossible to spread the cultivation technique to others .
The jade tablets were an item of the living world . They did not exist in the Ghost Realm, and could only be taken out by Xue Wei .
The middle-aged ghost did not mind it either . Naturally he would benefit more if he was capable of selling the method, but without the Marrow-Cleansing Pills, the cultivation technique had proven to be useless .
There were no herbs in the Ghost Realm, and thus it was impossible to refine the pills . They were relying solely on Xue Wei to be able to provide these pills, and thus it was not a long-term business venture .
From the start, the middle-aged ghost had fully decided on using the cultivation himself . He wanted to increase his own chance of survival in the world .
Knowing that he was a merchant, he would have to travel across the entire region . While he was somewhat safe, this world was filled with carnage, and if he encountered a true expert in the middle of nowhere, then his life would be forfeited .
The legendary Qi cultivation would take him some time to train, but considering the sheer amount of time he was spending inside the carriage while traveling from village to village, this was not something he feared .
When he managed to reach a higher rank, he would be able to take people by surprise and use Qi to overwhelm the opponent .
Unfortunately, the middle-aged ghost was unaware that Qi was not suitable to use just like a raw power, and that it was much more suitable to combine it with martial art techniques .
Xue Wei was not against selling martial arts techniques, but he was not going to offer them for free .
He was not against sharing it, but he would not introduce it to the middle-aged ghost . Now he had taken in a stray bird, the female ghost, so he was going to provide her with the martial art techniques .
This woman was going to a.s.sist them while they were in the Ghost Realm, so he was not going to be stingy towards her . He felt that by doing this, they would owe each other nothing when he, Lan, and Li Zhiqing returned to the world of the living .
Silence descended onto the carriage . Xue Wei, the middle-aged ghost, and the female ghost were all cultivating, while Lan was working on unraveling the seal .
There was a peaceful atmosphere in the carriage, no one interrupted the others, and everyone was busy doing their own thing .
The outside of the carriage was bustling with life, the other merchants were selling their wares, but the carriage was like a world separated from the other . Here the aura was tranquil, and they all felt how the heaven and earth essence was stirring from three people cultivating at the same time .
Time flowed like water, and the life and excitement outside the carriage slowly died out, as the villagers had finished buying the items they needed, and the merchants had sold a decent amount of wares .
Silence descended on the caravan, and everyone returned to their homes or carriages to begin consuming the spirit liquid they had gotten, or using the mechanisms they had bought .
Xue Wei was the first to awaken from his cultivation, and his eyes flashed coldly . It was a long time since he last felt like this . Although he was at the Saint Rank, he was capable of sensing a clear advance in his cultivation base from the time he had been cultivating .
It was clearly because the density of the heaven and earth essence here was just too outstanding, so he could gain ten times the results, with half the effort .
Xue Wei was rather pleased with his cultivation base here in the Ghost Realm . Although it was rapid, it was due to the sheer amount of heaven and earth essence, and not because of not refining the essence properly, so his foundations were not even at risk when speeding through cultivation like this .
When Xue Wei came about, the others also slowly left their meditation . The female ghost had broken through to the Ordinary Warrior rank . The middle-aged ghost seemed to have a bit worse talent, but was still moving forward at a rapid pace .
No matter how bad the talent was, cultivation would still be rapid in this environment; however, at some point the cultivator would hit a wall, and no matter how much they kept cultivating, they would not be able to advance their cultivation base .
For the middle-aged ghost, Xue Wei a.s.sumed that his wall would come up after the Heavenly Warrior, and just before the Ordinary Knight . He would not be able to go much further than that .
Xue Wei did not pity the ghost . Although this ghost would not be able to actually advance the Qi cultivation at a later time, it was not Xue Wei"s fault that his talents were mediocre . Their trade had been extremely fair and just . If the middle-aged ghost wanted to blame someone, he could only blame himself and his talent .
