Chapter 1731
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1731
“Ray, what exactly is this Ghost Sect?” Gerald asked curiously.
Then, Ray started explaining in detail.
After listening to the explanation, Gerald and the rest understood it now.
Apparently, Ghost Sect was a place where the ghosts lived, and the black shadow should be a member of Ghost Sect.
“Then, how can I go there?”
After a pause, Gerald asked boldly.
Ray opened his eyes wide and stared at him in surprise upon hearing him. He didn’t expect that Gerald would have this idea.
Ghost Sect was not a place that anyone could go to. It was in the territory of Ghost Realm, a place for lonely souls and wild ghosts which were ruled by the Ghost King.
“Brother Gerald, Ghost Sect is not a good place. It is better not to go there!”
Ray reminded Gerald seriously.
“Ray, don’t worry. Since this matter is related to Ghost Sect, I think I should go there and investigate!” Gerald patted on his shoulder and said.
Why did the people of Ghost Sect come to Dragonblood City and try to snatch this ancient holy sword away? This mystery made Gerald very puzzled. He had to solve it.
“Alright. Since you insist on going, I will go with you!”
Ray knew that he could not persuade Gerald not to go, so he could only choose to accompany him.
After that, Ray told Gerald the time when Ghost Sect was opened and its location.
Two days later, at midnight.
This was the day when the entrance of Ghost Sect would open.
On this day, all the ghosts would gather here to enter Ghost Sect.
Gerald and Ray went to the entrance of Ghost Sect. As for the other three, Gerald did not let them come along to avoid being noticed.
There were a lot of ghosts at the entrance.
It was the first time Gerald had seen so many ghosts, and this amazed him.
“Ray, will these ghosts hurt people?”
Gerald leaned closer to Ray and whispered into his ear.
Ray shook his head slightly and replied, “Don’t worry, they won’t. Today is the day of peace. No ghost can hurt other ghosts.”
Hearing this, Gerald felt relieved.
However, they only had twelve hours, or to be precise, it was Gerald who only had twelve hours.
When the time was up, he had to leave Ghost Sect immediately, or he would not be able to get out forever and remain there as a ghost.
Soon, it was time. The door of the spiritual world opened, and all the ghosts flocked in.
Ray led Gerald into the spiritual world through the door.
Once inside, they saw a huge ghost city where many ghosts had set up stalls to sell things just like a town in the olden days.
Today was the most enjoyable day for the ghost because they could come to Ghost Sect to buy things for themselves. The only thing was that they did not trade with ordinary coins, but coins specially used in Ghost Sect. So, they had to go to exchange for some.
“Ray, are all these things around here edible? They’re making me hungry!”
Walking along the street, Gerald saw a lot of food around him which made him hungry, so he asked.
“Hehe, you can eat them, but you will lose a lot of masculine aura once you do so because these are food for ghosts, not humans.”
Ray smiled and replied to Gerald.
Gerald was discouraged immediately upon hearing this. He did not dare to think about it anymore as he did not want to lose his masculine aura.
“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to a place!”
Ray told Gerald and brought him to a building not far away with big steps.

Once inside, Gerald realized that it was a huge casino.
This was a casino in Ghost Sect. It was different from the casinos in the human world.
“Ray, why do I have a feeling that the ghosts can’t feel me?”
Suddenly, Gerald discovered something and asked Ray.
He had a feeling that he was being totally ignored, and the ghosts around didn’t notice him at all. What made him feel even stranger was that some ghosts even passed right through his body.
“Because you are not a real ghost, they won’t discover you. Moreover, no humans are allowed in here!”
Ray explained to Gerald immediately.
When Gerald heard him, he was very excited. That would mean that he was invisible right now.
“Gerald, it’s up to you now. You can use your invisibility to help me gamble so that we can win some money to buy some good things.”
Ray suggested to Gerald.
“Alright, Ray. No problem, just watch me!”
Gerald agreed without reservation. It was great that he had finally found his advantage here.
Later, Ray got Gerald to stand in the innermost position so that he could get a good peep to see everything.
As for Ray, he sat in front of the table. Just a moment ago, when he was squeezing through the crowd, he had stolen a ghost coin from a ghost to make the coin his startup capital.
Soon after, the ghost standing in the middle of the table started to roll the dice.
After rolling for a while, the ghost covered the dice with a lid, and Ray looked at Gerald who was behind the ghost.
After a quick peek, Gerald gave Ray a hand signal.
“I bet low!”
After seeing Gerald’s hand signal, Ray shouted loudly.
Then, he put the money on the low slot.
After making his bet, the ghost revealed the dice.
When he opened it, it was indeed a low number.
This made the ghosts around them applause. They didn’t expect Ray to be so good at gambling so much so that he had made profits in just one go.
However, Ray did not plan to stop there.
Since they were already there, he wanted to make a fortune.
Soon after, the second round started.
Just like before, the ghost in the middle rolled the dice.
Then, he covered the dice again.
Meanwhile, Gerald, who was behind the ghost, told Ray the number using hand signals.
After looking at the hand signal, Ray put all his money on the low slot once more.
“I still want to bet low!”
Ray shouted and put all the money on the low slot.
Later, the ghost revealed the dice.
Sure enough, it was a low number.
Ray won again. But this time, he won much more than the first time.
“Alright, I have had enough, so I’ll stop playing!”
He had made enough to afford a feast. Therefore, Ray didn’t want to continue gambling.
However, there was an unspoken rule in casinos in the human world, and that was, those who won should not leave. Of course, this applied to casinos in the spiritual world as well.

“Wait!”
Before Ray could take another step, a few ghosts stopped him.
The ghost standing in the middle walked toward Ray and stared at him. “There is no such thing as leaving after winning.”
“Why? Do you guys have the guts to play the game? Or is it that you can’t afford to lose?”
Ray stared at the ghost coldly.
He didn’t expect that the ghost here would be just like humans in the real world, playing rogue when they couldn’t afford to lose.
They still wanted to be rascals when they were already ghosts. This irritated Ray a lot.
“Huh! You can either continue to gamble until you lose all the money, or you can hand over the money before you leave. There are two options, you choose!”
The ghost standing in the middle sneered and warned Ray, staring at him with threatening eyes.
It seemed that the ghost did not plan to let him leave.
Since that was the case, Ray would not let them have their way.
“Is that so? What if I don’t choose either of them?”
Ray looked at them and asked again.
“Then, don’t blame us for not showing mercy!”
The ghost in the middle snorted and signaled the ghosts around him.
Right after, the surrounding ghosts charged toward Ray and Gerald.
Since they had made their moves, Gerald was definitely not going to spare them.
He summoned his Fishgut Sword immediately and slashed them.
Swish!
At once, the Fishgut Sword wiped out a few ghosts effortlessly.
Seeing this, the ghost standing in the middle showed fear on his face. He didn’t know that Gerald would be this powerful and possess such a powerful weapon.
“You are not a ghost, but a human!”
The ghost shouted in surprise.
“Hehe. Good that you know now. So, are you still going to stop me?”
Gerald smirked and asked the ghost.
Now, the ghost did not dare to be arrogant anymore. He lowered his head and said, “No, I won’t dare to. Please, you may leave!”
Hearing this, Gerald smiled in satisfaction. Then, he left the casino with Ray.
After they had left, Gerald and Ray found a spot to sit down.
“Wow, that’s so much money!”
Gerald’s eyes glowed as he looked at the bag full of money in Ray’s arms.
“Hehe. This is not real money, but the money of ghosts.”
Ray chuckled and explained to Gerald.
The money could only be used in Ghost Sect. It couldn’t be used in the real world, so, it was kind of useless even if they had a lot.
“Ray, I’m very hungry. What should I do?”
As Gerald was talking to Ray, his stomach was already rumbling loudly.
“Okay. Let me see if there’s a place where you can eat. We should find a place to spend the money!”
Once he heard that, Ray suggested to Gerald.
Then, Ray started scouring Ghost Sect with Gerald.
Soon, Ray saw a big restaurant that looked similar to a restaurant in the real world.
He led Gerald into the restaurant.
“Boss!”
Ray shouted loudly once he went in, only to see a man in white come out from inside and greet them with a bright smile.
“Hehe. What would you like to eat?”
The restaurateur asked both Ray and Gerald.
Hearing this, Ray and Gerald were shocked. They didn’t expect that the restaurateur could see Gerald.
“You can see me?”

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1734
Gerald looked at the restaurateur in surprise and asked.
“Of course!”
The restaurateur smiled and answered.
Hearing this, Gerald looked at Ray immediately and started worrying.
“Ray, it can’t be that the effect of my medicine has passed, right?”
Gerald asked Ray in surprise, then, he quickly took out his mobile phone to check the time.
Looking at the time, twelve hours were not up yet. He had only been here for two hours.
But why could this restaurateur see him? This made Gerald wonder in astonishment.
“Boss, why can you see him?”
Ray asked the restaurateur curiously.
“Ha! Ha! Because I’m a human, just like you!”
The restaurateur smiled and explained.
Ray and Gerald finally understood the situation. So, that was why.
“Are you also a half-phantom?”
Ray asked suspiciously.
The restaurateur nodded and said, “Yes, I am. Let me introduce myself. My name is Garren Henry. I’m the owner of this restaurant, and I am specifically responsible for receiving people from the real world here!”
“Nice to meet you, Garren. I am Ray Leighton, and this is my friend, Gerald Crawford. We were hungry, so we came to get some food. Since we are not half-phantom, we can’t eat the food in Ghost Sect!”
Then, Ray introduced himself to Garran and explained the reason for coming to this place.
“No problem. Don’t worry. The food I serve here is safe for humans!”
Garren said immediately.
Then, he seated Ray and Gerald at a table
“Garren, do humans come here often?”
Once seated, Ray asked Garren.
“Not really. Most of the guests who come here are ghosts. Humans rarely come. Besides, I only come here for business when the entrance of the spiritual world is open. You are the first two humans from the real world I’ve met,” Garren explained.
“Right, you don’t look like ordinary people. You must be cultivators, right?”
After that, Garren looked at Ray again and asked.
Ray was startled when he heard Garren’s words. He didn’t expect that Garren would know.
“How did you know?”
Ray asked in surprise.
“Hehe. People who come to my place are all cultivators. There wouldn’t be any other people!”
Garren chuckled and explained.
“Then, you must be one as well!”
Ray stared at Garren. Since he was a half-phantom, he had to also be a cultivator.
“Hehe, I’m not really a cultivator. It’s just that I became like this because of an accident.”
Garren laughed bitterly and explained.
In truth, there were very few people who could become half-phantoms. Some by accident, and some by experiment.
However, Ray and Juno had become half-phantoms due to accidents.
Soon after, Garren served a lot of food on their table. All the food was from the real world.
Looking at the food, their eyes glowed.
“Come on, dig in. There’s more if this is not enough!”
Garren told them.
After that, Gerald and Ray started feasting.
“By the way, did you guys come here for the Ghostly Pearl?”
Chapter 1735
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1735
“Ghostly Pearl?”
Gerald was puzzled when he heard that.
It was his first time hearing about this Ghostly Pearl.
“What? You don’t know about it?”
Garren saw Gerald’s puzzled look and asked in surprise.
Gerald and Ray shook their heads.
“The Ghostly Pearl is the treasure of Ghost Sect. It is said that it can increase one’s cultivation level manyfold. That’s why many soul cultivators wanted to steal it. And yet, you actually don’t know about it?”
Garren stared at Gerald in surprise as he explained, his face expressing his disbelief.
“Then, where can I get this Ghostly Pearl?”
Gerald asked directly.
Since the Ghostly Pearl was so precious, it triggered Gerald’s interest greatly. Now, he was thinking of getting it.
“It’s not that easy. The Ghostly Pearl is in the hand of Ghost King. It’s the treasure of Ghost King, so getting the Ghostly Pearl would not be a simple task. Many soul cultivators died at his hands!”
Later, Garren told them with a doubtful look.
From Garren’s words, they knew that the Ghostly Pearl must be a very extraordinary thing. Besides, the Ghost King that he mentioned was the leader of Ghost Sect. He wasn’t someone who could be defeated by simply anyone.
“Where is Ghost King?”
Gerald continued to ask curiously.
“Ghost King is in the deepest ghost cave. That is his territory. Besides, many ghost soldiers and ghost generals are guarding the place, so it’s very difficult to get inside. Even if you do get into the cave, it’s very difficult to find the Ghostly Pearl.”
Garren told Gerald the location of Ghost King immediately.
“How long will the Ghost Sect remain open?”
After a pause, Gerald asked Garren.
Frankly speaking, this was also Gerald’s first time coming to Ghost Sect.
Although he heard about it from Old Flint, it was his first time actually coming here, and it was indeed a very different experience.
“One month. However, the entrance will be closed during the day and only open at night!” Garren replied immediately.
Upon hearing that, Gerald nodded with a serious face.
Since Ghost Sect would remain open for a month, it would mean that he had enough time to plan how to get the Ghostly Pearl.
If Gerald did not know about the Ghostly Pearl, he would not have bothered.
But now that he knew about it, he would not let go of such a great opportunity.
“Good. Garren, we need your help. I want to get this Ghostly Pearl!”
After that, Gerald told Garren definitively.
When Garren heard that, he was shocked. He didn’t expect Gerald to actually have the idea of getting the Ghostly Pearl.
“But as I told you, Gerald, the Ghostly Pearl is not that easy to obtain!”
Garren reminded Gerald worryingly.
“Yes, I know that. And that is the reason why I’m interested in it. The more difficult it is, the more I want to try. And maybe, I will succeed!”
Gerald looked at Garren with a determined face and said.
After hearing this, Garren couldn’t help but agree to help.
“Alright. Tell me what I can help you with.” Garren asked directly.
“I haven’t thought of a plan yet. Wait until I have a plan, and I will tell you what to do!”
Gerald didn’t reply to Garren’s question, but he simply reminded him.
“Okay, no problem. Once you have formulated a plan, tell me, and I will do my best to help you!”
Garren agreed readily without any objection.
Right then, Garren completely treated Gerald and Ray as his friends.
Since they were friends, it was only natural for them to help each other.
“Right, I have a good thing here that I can give to your disciple!”
Just then, Garren suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly stood up. Then, he walked into the house.
