Chapter 509: Testing the Medicine (2/2)
”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.
”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.
