Chapter 116: Treasure in the Ancient Tomb
What Peter Brown saw was a large figure of a ghost sitting cross-legged atop the ancient tomb. The ghost looked as he might have appeared in life, tall and clad in a military uniform from a bygone era. The uniform was unlike any Peter had ever seen on television, and he even spotted a helmet on the ghost’s head. As it sat there, he noticed a long spear resting across its legs.
Upon closer inspection, Peter noticed that the ghost was drawing in the moonlight through its nostrils.
Spirit Ghost!
This thought suddenly sprang to his mind.
Only after examining his acquired inheritance did Peter understand that a Spirit Ghost was not an ordinary otherworldly entity. It was a ghost that had been nourished by Earth’s Spirit Vein for centuries and possessed a certain level of spiritual wisdom and basic Cultivation abilities.
Another advantage of such Spirit Ghosts was that, if tamed, they could assist their masters.
However, Peter wasn’t concerned with that. He had learnt that the main reason for the formation of a Spirit Ghost was the presence of a Spirit Vein. The Spirit Ghost was able to grow because it was nourished by the Spirit Vein.
Spirit Vein!
News of the presence of a Spirit Vein in this area caused a surge of excitement in Peter.
Spirit Veins were not so easily found on Earth. With the gradual thinning of spiritual energy on Earth, their value was immense to cultivators. It was considered a priceless treasure. Presumably, this village remained unnoticed due to its location. Had it been elsewhere, cultivators would have flocked to it.
In Cultivation, what was most needed was spiritual energy. It was the key element for any Cultivator. If Peter could secure a place with a Spirit Vein, his speed of Cultivation wouldn’t be slow.
