Chapter 514: Talent (2/2)

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.
