I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 235 Trading
Dajing City! Asia Division, Ghost Rider Headquarters!

Reception room!
Xiao Wuji held a mobile phone and skillfully opened page after page of websites, browsing through records about "ghosts".

Several days ago, he completely destroyed the vengeful ghost in front of everyone, and then Wang Xiaoming and the others invited him here.

"Can gold trap ghosts?"

Xiao Wuji had doubts about this record. He thought that even gold essence might not be able to trap the ghosts here, let alone gold!
Of course, it's also possible that the gold in this world contains something else that can subdue demons. After all, the world is full of wonders, just like the seawater in the world of One Piece, which can ridiculously restrain Devil Fruit users.

"Captain Zhao, could you bring me a piece of gold so I can examine it?"

Zhao Jianguo did not refuse the request and gestured to the staff member beside him. Soon, a gold brick the size of a fist was handed to Xiao Wuji.

He scanned it with his divine sense but found nothing unusual. However, Xiao Wuji was certain that this thing was not the same as the gold he had encountered before.

Flames rose from his palm, enveloping the gold, which Xiao Wuji refined into a liquid almost instantly. Then came the refining!

With the terrifying temperature of the Chaos Fire, it would take no more than three days to refine a ton of gold into a fist-sized piece of gold essence.

The time required to refine this piece of "gold" will definitely not exceed three hours.

Seeing the gold writhing in the flames, Zhao Jianguo, Wang Xiaoming, and the others were also greatly shocked. As everyone knows, the power of a ghost could never affect gold, so could it really be a cultivator?
For three hours, everyone stared intently as the fist-sized piece of gold shed tiny bits of black ash in the flames, eventually transforming into a rice-grain-sized piece of bright gold metal with faint flame-like patterns still visible on it.

As the flames died down, Xiao Wuji held the metal between his fingers, a slight smile playing on his lips. He had already recognized what this metal was.

Xiao Wuji glanced at everyone and then asked:

"I don't know if you've ever heard the saying that gold is the ashes of stars!"

Wang Xiaoming was the first to react, his eyes lighting up as he exclaimed, "I know this!"

"There were no metals on Earth originally; the metals we have today are all remnants of asteroid impacts!"

"Not bad!" Xiao Wuji nodded approvingly, "So this metal also has another name—Blazing Gold!"

"However, most of the blazing gold I've seen has been refined, which is why I didn't recognize it at first glance!"

Blazing Gold is a primary material for crafting fire-attribute magical artifacts. It possesses extremely yang properties and has a wide range of applications, but its reserves in the lower realms of the mortal world are not abundant. It is more plentiful in the spirit world. While it might be quite precious for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, its value is not particularly high for those above. However, it is especially effective against yin spirits and ghosts.

No wonder this thing was able to suppress the ghost! After all, most ghosts in this world lack intelligence and follow fixed rules, so they naturally cannot break through the suppression of the gold!

He couldn't even use his own Yin energy to influence the space outside the gold, nor could he open a ghost domain. It's important to understand that even Xiao Wuji needed his own magical power as a guide to mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

"I understand your problem, but to completely eliminate the ghosts, your cultivation method needs to be modified! After all, you don't have my foundation, so you can't master my supernatural powers!"

"However, you can also use this technique to extend the lifespan of the older generation of ghost tamers! It can also slow down the ghost erosion of your subordinates."

Xiao Wuji reached out and grabbed a magazine from the corner bookshelf, wiped away the contents, and then pointed with his finger, burning clear words onto both sides of the book with flames.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Wuji had "written" the entire section of the Xuan Yin Scripture before the formation of the Golden Core.

After writing down the cultivation method, Xiao Wuji did not immediately hand it over to them. Instead, he solemnly said, "The cultivation method should not be lightly passed on, especially the methods of ghost cultivation, which can easily lead people astray. Therefore, I have a simple request for you!"

Zhao Jianguo, Wang Xiaoming, and the others stepped forward in unison, bowed, and said, "Please speak!"

"Those who cultivate themselves must not engage in worldly affairs; those who disobey will have their entire family exterminated!"

"Regarding this, I will also have my disciples constantly monitor those who have already learned the techniques. If anyone disobeys, I will personally take action and kill them!"

Upon hearing Xiao Wuji's words, everyone frowned.

As if he could read everyone's mind, Xiao Wuji sneered:

"When power is concentrated in one's own hands, all public order will be trampled upon!"

"If you don't mind the world returning to a slave society, then I certainly don't mind lifting this restriction!"

"Furthermore, don't delude yourself into thinking that nuclear weapons can pose a threat to high-level cultivators. If I wanted to, I would have more than thirty ways to withstand a nuclear bomb!"

"In fact, if it weren't for the fact that this world is somewhat similar to the one I live in, I would have refined this world long ago! You wouldn't even have the chance to bargain here!"

After a series of "threats," Wang Xiaoming and the others "had no choice" but to agree to the conditions. As for whether the higher-ups would listen, that was beyond their control.

Xiao Wuji shared the same attitude. His "rules" had already been communicated, so if anyone violated them, they shouldn't blame him for following the cause and effect to kill them!
Next, Xiao Wuji held several more talks with them, mainly concerning the ownership of high-level ghosts and the trade of precious resources such as gold.

Half a day later, Xiao Wuji led Yang Jian out of the Asian headquarters of the International Ghost Tamers, and then, with the help of the "Ghost Domain," returned to Dachang City. Moreover, several tons of rare metals such as gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin would soon be delivered there.

Aside from the Blazing Gold, which is incompatible with the Skeleton Dharma Image, he can also extract the essence of four other metals, which, when integrated into the Dharma Image, can greatly increase the hardness of the staff.

Furthermore, he obtained many top-tier vengeful spirits from the International Ghost Tamers Headquarters, and in return, Xiao Wuji had to provide them with a certain degree of military support.

Upon returning to Dachang City, Xiao Wuji immediately went into seclusion. Since this was his first time traversing this world, he didn't want to linger too long. He needed to determine the flow of time between the two worlds and then provide as much assistance as possible to his original body.

Therefore, after obtaining the vengeful ghost, Xiao Wuji couldn't wait to go into seclusion.

Inside the safe house made of gold, Xiao Wuji released one fierce ghost after another, then devoured and refined them!
"The Ghost Realm is space, Restart is time, and Inevitable Death is cause and effect, but these spatial laws are all related to the barrier!"

"The ability to predict and deduce, the ability to absorb and conquer, the ability to..."

"Why do these ghostly beings possess laws? Is it because of the special nature of the world's rules?"

Xiao Wuji had too many questions about this world, but no one could answer them for him.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I've made enough of the benefits, so I'd better get back quickly!"

"If it weren't for the laws within these ghosts, I would have already run off into outer space to devour celestial bodies!"
