Chapter 507: Equal Trade (2/2)
”This is a machine that condenses water from the air. It is not very useful for ghosts, but you can have it. I heard that living beings need to drink water to sustain their lives.”
Xue Wei was at a level where he could eat some fastening pills, and he would not need to consume neither food nor water, but it was always best to have such a mechanism with him.
The machines that the middle-aged ghost gave them were all very common. Some of them had a mediocre attack system; others had rather decent defenses.
Most of them had auxiliary uses though. They did not assist in battle, but they were capable of helping him with his everyday life.
Xue Wei handed over the three swords, and put away the many gadgets in his storage treasure before returning to the carriage that they had been traveling in.
He was not very curious about the village. He had already seen it when they traveled through; there was nothing of interest in it, no restaurants, and not many stores either.
There was no reason to venture out of the mayor's residence, so he went to the carriage to talk with Lan. They had to come up with a way to solve the most significant issue they had right now. How were they going to find Li Zhiqing?
Lan and Xue Wei were seated opposite one another. The blue snake had its wings folded, and its body curled up, but even so, Xue Wei could feel the pressure that was emitting from the beast.
Although he had sealed most of his powers, he was still overwhelmingly powerful when compared to Xue Wei, and this also gave him a certain degree of safety.
However, they were not sure how cultivation worked for the ghosts. Until now, the middle-aged ghost had not been willing to go into details, so their knowledge of this topic was somewhat lacking.
”I have a way to locate her,” Lan said after contemplating for some time. ”I have her soul imprint in my body, and I will be able to recognize her instantly when she is close to me. I cannot impart this soul imprint to others though.”
Xue Wei had expected this, and was not disappointed. ”We will have to travel the Ghost Realm for quite some time then,” he said casually, but he was not too worried.
He had around forty-nine years left to return to the Chang'an Continent and meet up with Wang Xiaoyun. Although it sounded like a lot, he knew that it might take them longer if they had to comb through the ghost realm, but he was still not dejected.
He believed that they would manage, one way or another, and even if they failed, Lan would somehow help him send a message to her.
Since he was here, he was going to focus on the task at hand entirely. He was going to help Lan reunite with his lover, and at the same time, advance his cultivation base.
The Ghost Realm was gloomy and desolate, but the air was so dense with heaven and earth essence that it was indeed a paradise for living cultivators. If he did not use this chance, then he would look down upon himself.
