Chapter 505: Masking Life Force (2/2)

Lan was currently in a small version of his original shape, and he could not hold the token in his hands, but he simply coiled his tail around it, and it vanished from sight. Moments after, the life force within his body had also disappeared.

Xue Wei placed the token in his robes and nodded his head. He then took out many herbs and resources that were heavy in yin energy, and handed one to each of the people present, while the mayor managed to get a handful of items in return for the two tokens.

Both sides felt that they had taken advantage of the other. Xue Wei had so many resources that using a few was truly no difference to him, but the mayor was also quite happy because the tokens were nothing special to him, as everyone had a few.

These tokens also had another use. They were illusion tokens, and could change the appearance of a ghost.

This was their primary purpose; the side effect was that they would make anyone appear as a ghost.

After looking at Xue Wei time and time again to ensure that he was the same as any other ghost, the mayor finally allowed the gates to open, and for the merchants to display their goods.

Xue Wei was quite curious about what the currency here in the ghost realm was, and he was quite surprised to find that they used a strange white substance that was being carried in calabash bottles.

Xue Wei could not help but walk next to the mayor. ”What is the currency here?” he asked with a low voice, and the mayor glanced at the many wooden calabash bottles with the white translucent liquid within.

”This is liquified spiritual liquid,” he answered. ”There are different mechanisms that allow you to either convert your own spiritual energy into this Liquid Spirit, or you can convert the spirits you are consuming into Liquid Spirit.”

Xue Wei nodded his head. He could not convert his own spirit into Liquid Spirit, as he was not a genuine ghost, but he did need one of those mechanisms that could transform others into this currency.

He needed to buy it, and thus he had to have something that could be exchanged first.

”If you have treasures with high yin density, then we are willing to make a trade with you,” the mayor said, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, and Xue Wei smiled.

Although he knew that the mayor just wanted to benefit, he was not against it. He needed something that the mayor had, and it was only natural that he had to pay for it.

After considering for some time what to take out, he took out a Night Luminous Pearl.

This pearl absorbed yin energy and stored a certain amount at a time, but as soon as it was used, it would begin to convert more yin energy from the heaven and earth essence. To the ghosts, this was a heavenly sent treasure.
