Chapter 520: Whispering Oak Inn (1/2)
The three continued to move around until they found a shop where they could sit down. Xue Wei found some parchment, an inkstone, and a calligraphy pen from his storage treasure.
As a cultivator, Xue Wei had full control over his movements, and while he had no experience with drawing, he soon found that it was quite simple.
Although he was not experienced, the drawing was easy to recognize. The woman on the drawing was extremely beautiful. While the actual technical level of the drawing was rather lacking, the image itself was stunning enough for everyone to forgive it.
Even Lan was shocked upon witnessing the painting of his beloved, and his eyes turned moist for a moment while he became lost in memories.
Xue Wei himself was also rather astounded to see that he had such artistic skills. It was not something he had attempted before, and frankly, he thought that it would be impossible to draw something nice; however, when he held the pen in his hand, he felt as if it was an extension of his arm, and just as easy to control.
After drawing a stack of these paintings, Xue Wei and Lan glanced at one another again. How were they to spread them?
At this moment, the female ghost spoke up, ”I would suggest that we head towards the Whispering Oak Inn. It is a chain of inns that are present in the entire Ghost Realm, across all the regions, and in all major cities.
”This inn focuses on information gathering while also letting people rest when they travel from place to place. It is also the faction in control of the transportation arrays.”
Xue Wei and Lan were both rather surprised when they heard what she said. They had not thought that such a faction would exist in the Ghost Realm, but it was exactly what they needed.
Xue Wei found some more paper and began drawing an illustration of Tie Haolong and his father. He also wanted to draw one of his mother, but he had never seen her before, so he did not know how she looked like.
Lan had also never met her in person. While he knew everything that happened to her due to his connection to that world, he had never actually met her, so her facial features were too blurred in his mind to be able to draw anything out from.
Xue Wei had drawn the three illustrations of the three different figures, and he paid the owner of the shop for the time he had stayed there with some of the spirit liquid he had gotten from the merchant. Afterwards, he and Lan followed behind the female ghost.
”Have you been here before?” Xue Wei could not help but ask, as he saw how confident she was in the direction she was walking. It was as if she had been here many times before, but the female ghost shook her head.
