Chapter 37

Lin Nianluo still came to supervise Jiang Wei's cultivation from time to time. What comforted her was that Jiang Wei had finally managed to enter the initial stage of the *Nine Soul Unleashing Techniques*; what frustrated her was that Jiang Wei's cultivation speed was far too slow!

"Could it be that a Fifth Rank soul talent really isn't suitable for cultivating the *Nine Soul Unleashing Techniques*?" Lin Nianluo sized up Jiang Wei for a long time before shaking her head and saying, "I have to ask Master what to do!"

The *Nine Soul Unleashing Techniques* was already considered a fairly advanced cultivation manual; the more advanced the manual, the higher the requirements for soul talent. In Lin Nianluo's view, with her Eighth Rank soul talent, cultivating the *Nine Soul Unleashing Techniques* was as easy as lifting a feather; but Jiang Wei, with only a Fifth Rank soul talent, clearly found it a bit beyond his capabilities.

"Senior Sister, take care!" Jiang Wei politely saw Lin Nianluo out of his small pavilion.

Watching Lin Nianluo's departing back, Jiang Wei couldn't help but sigh, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister, how could you know that what I'm cultivating isn't the *Nine Soul Unleashing Techniques* at all, but the much more difficult *Divine Casting Technique*!"

However, the *Divine Casting Technique* and the Five Ghost Dao Talisman were Jiang Wei's biggest secrets. Jiang Wei wasn't a three-year-old child; he naturally knew that some secrets were best kept in one's heart. Therefore, he went along with Lin Nianluo's misunderstanding that he was cultivating the *Nine Soul Unleashing Techniques* and that his cultivation speed was extremely slow.

What Jiang Wei couldn't understand was, "With only a Fifth Rank soul talent, why can I cultivate the *Divine Casting Technique*? According to Little Jin, even Lin Nianluo's Eighth Rank soul talent seems insufficient for cultivation!"

...

Jiang Wei was indeed a very diligent ghost. He had been in the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion for over a month, yet he immersed himself in cultivation every day, never even stepping out the door.

"Ah Wei, let's go, don't stay cooped up at home every day!" Li Hao pulled Jiang Wei and shouted.

Now, Li Hao no longer had to sleep on the streets but had taken over half of Jiang Wei's small pavilion, claiming it as his private territory. Jiang Wei had no objections; after all, he was just a solitary ghost, while Li Hao was about to become a ghost with a family. The pavilion allocated by the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion was quite large, so giving half to a brother was nothing to be stingy about.

"Two male ghosts shopping, how awkward!" Jiang Wei firmly refused.

"Who said I'm going shopping with you specifically!" Li Hao said with disdain, "I'm shopping with Xiao Xue, and I'm just bringing you along to broaden your horizons."

"Ah, then wouldn't I be a third wheel? No, no, I won't go!" Jiang Wei shook his head even faster.

"Who would make you a third wheel? I'm making you the wallet!" Li Hao, without further ado, dragged Jiang Wei away.

Jiang Wei had robbed Fang Siqi's subordinates and swept nearly ten thousand nether coins, making him a wealthy tycoon. After getting rich, Jiang Wei didn't forget his good brother Li Hao and had long said he would split the loot with him; but Li Hao had said, "Just keep it for now. Money isn't safe on me; it's easy for ghosts to covet it!"

Jiang Wei knew Li Hao was telling the truth; robbery was quite frequent in the ghost world, so he didn't insist.

"Let's go to the inner city gate first and pick up Xiao Xue." Li Hao said.

Zhou Xue hadn't yet decided to move in with Li Hao, so she didn't have the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion's jade token and could only enter and exit the inner city with Li Hao's escort.

On the way, Jiang Wei and Li Hao chatted as they walked.

"Ah Wei, to be honest, I brought you out today because I have something I want you to help me with!" Li Hao started talking before meeting up with Zhou Xue.

"Go ahead and say it!" Jiang Wei said.

"I'm about to become a ghost with a family, and it's not right to continue idling around. I need to find something to do!" Li Hao, though dead for ten years, being at the very bottom of the ghost world, had nothing to do. For ten years, he had wandered aimlessly.

"That's true!" Jiang Wei deeply agreed. A male ghost without any career would be looked down upon by other ghosts.

"I've thought about cultivation, but my soul talent is too low, and I won't achieve much in that path!" Li Hao continued, "After much thought, I believe that doing some small business is more reliable; especially since I now have the convenience of traveling between the inner and outer cities. Buying some small items from the inner city and selling them in the outer city should be a good choice! — So I called you out today to help me decide what to sell!"

"Sure, no problem!" Jiang Wei readily agreed, "You don't need to worry about money; just take it from me. Don't stress; even if you lose it all, I can always rob more!"

Having tasted the thrill of robbery, Jiang Wei had deeply felt its pleasure. Of course, his targets were always those who had wronged him, so he had no qualms about it.

"Damn, what are you talking about, I'll lose!?" Li Hao laughed and scolded.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Jiang Wei understood that Li Hao indeed needed a career; it didn't matter how much or how little he earned, even if he lost nether coins, he needed a career! Without a career, no matter how much nether money he had, he wouldn't earn the respect of other ghosts, and many would gossip behind his back.

Li Hao's soul talent wasn't good, so forcing himself into the cultivation path wouldn't be meaningful; thus, doing some small business was indeed a good choice for him.

The two brothers laughed as they arrived at the inner city gate.

"Xiao Xue!" Li Hao saw the slender figure outside the city gate and immediately ran over like a happy little stray dog.

Jiang Wei smiled and shook his head, "Lovers, male and female ghosts, are always like this!" Suddenly, his expression turned a bit gloomy, "If I hadn't died, if I were still in the human world, I would probably be with my junior sister now!"

"But I'm already dead..." Jiang Wei had to accept this fact.

Gradually, a layer of ferocity crept into Jiang Wei's eyes.

Jiang Wei had originally lived a happy and peaceful life in the human world, with the care of his kind and gentle senior masters and the company of his gentle and lovely junior sister; but all of this was destroyed in one night!

After such a drastic change, how could Jiang Wei not be filled with ferocity?

Suddenly, Jiang Wei paused, "My seniors from the Myriad Phenomena Sect, after death, should also have been reborn in the Original Sin City; with my status as a core disciple of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion, it shouldn't be too difficult to find them, right?"

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Wei saw the ghost soldier captain
