Condemning the Heavens

His hand trembled as he quickly looked around; however, no one was observing them .

"Hide it quickly!" The mayor wanted this Night Luminous Pearl very much, but he was also aware that wealth could bring the downfall of a person .

If others found out that he owned one, someone would steal it from him, and he would undoubtedly end up dead .

Xue Wei had guessed that this item would be highly sought after, but he had not thought it would be this attractive to the ghosts . After thinking about the properties of the pearl, he understood . This was an unending fuel supply . No one would say no thank you to such a thing .

Xue Wei had many of these Night Luminous Pearls . They had been used in the Ascended Realm as lamps in the underground palace, and he had conveniently taken them with him .

He had at least a hundred of them, and the fact that they were priceless made him rub his chin in deep thought . It seemed that he would be able to achieve their aim much easier by accepting help from the stronger ghosts if he offered them one of these pearls .

The mayor was unaware that the pearl he thought was one of a kind, was actually quite numerous in Xue Wei’s bags . He quickly packed away the pearl in the ghost storage treasure, and took out a whole survival kit for Xue Wei .

It contained one hundred kilos of spirit liquid, a ghost storage treasure, a machine that could convert other ghosts and souls into spirit liquid, and numerous small gadgets that would make his life more comfortable in the Ghost Realm .

Lan was saying nothing as he rested on Xue Wei’s shoulder . He looked like an ornament, a machine, as beasts did not exist within the Ghost Realm, so no one confused him with an actual creature .

As the mayor happily left, Lan squinted his eyes . "You have quite a few of those pearls, don’t you?" he asked with a snicker in his voice, and Xue Wei nodded his head casually .

"There were so many within the Ascended’s Realm, how could I not take them all with me?" he asked .

The conversation was calm, but if a ghost had heard it, it’s heart would quake with fear .

"The underground palace was full of yin and death tools . I assume you took those with you too?" Lan continued, and Xue Wei once again nodded his head as he looked at his surroundings .

"I emptied everything everywhere I went in the Ascended’s Realm, not one treasure was left behind . "

"How fortunate . Someone less selfish might have left something for others to benefit, but that is quite a stupid way of thinking . These things might not have been useful for you when you took them, but aren’t they extremely useful now?"

Neither Lan nor Xue Wei was saints . They would do what needed to be done for their own progress, and while they would never hurt those who were kind to them, they did not care about others .

So why leave a whole treasury for others? That was simply stupidity .

"The merchant is selling all kinds of goods," Lan continued . "If I don’t remember incorrectly, the armory within the underground palace had quite a few death swords that had been baptized in blood . Why not take one or two out, and trade them for a carriage?"

Xue Wei pondered for a bit, but then he shook his head . "The caravan is already moving to the capital, and we have already gotten a lift the whole way . They said that there are teleportation formations in the cities, so do we really need a carriage?"

It was not that Xue Wei was stingy, he just didn’t see a purpose in buying a carriage, and when he argued so reasonably, Lan nodded his head, but moments after he shook it .

"It is true that we don’t need it right away, however, who knows where we have to go in the future . If we cannot get a carriage at that time, we will have to spend too much time walking . "

Xue Wei began thinking about it . He had not thought that far ahead, and he slowly nodded his head . It made sense . "Then let us talk with him," he decided after thinking it through .

It was no problem to store it, as he had both his own storage treasures, but also the ghost storage treasures . As such, it was just replacing a few swords for a carriage .

The two, Xue Wei and Lan on his shoulder, went to meet the middle-aged ghost . When he saw them, he raised an eyebrow in surprise . They had the aura and appearance of ghosts now, and he had to admit that the disguise was truly well made .

"We are leaving tomorrow morning," he said . "You can do whatever you want to do until then . "

Xue Wei nodded his head and looked at the goods that the merchant had placed on the table . He did not understand any of them, they all seemed extremely foreign, and he was curious about their purpose .

"I was wondering if you are interested in selling a carriage," Xue Wei asked, as he looked at the many exciting gadgets .

"A carriage?" the middle-aged man frowned . "I can sell you a carriage, but the price is quite high . "

Xue Wei nodded his head in acknowledgment . That made perfect sense . Then he waved his hand, and three black swords appeared in his hands .
