Jiang Lin was unaware of what was happening in the mortal realm.
He closed the live stream and returned to his small wooden house, opening the shop.
By now, his points had reached 2900.
Jiang Lin's gaze immediately fell upon the large Yin Qi Pills.
These large Yin Qi Pills contained purer and more potent Yin Qi than the smaller ones.
Each one cost 500 points.
He directly purchased five, spending 2500 points, leaving him with 400 points for unforeseen needs.
Jiang Lin: "Extract items."
Five Yin Qi Pills appeared in his hand.
After ensuring the doors and windows were locked, Jiang Lin sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
The massive Yin Qi entered his body, and without the need for refinement, he could absorb it.
Based on his own estimation, these few Yin Qi Pills were enough for him to break through his current level.
Yin Qi flowed through his body like a river, circulating everywhere.
Three hours later,
Jiang Lin's aura surged from the late stage of Ghost Soldier directly to the peak of Ghost Soldier,
and then he broke through to the early stage of Ghost General.
His aura was still rising, showing signs of approaching the mid-stage of Ghost General.
During this process, there were no bottlenecks whatsoever.
Inside the house, Jiang Lin sat cross-legged, enveloped by dense Yin Qi.
If the power within his body was a small stream during the Ghost Soldier stage, then during the Ghost General stage, it was a great river.
A tangible power coursed through his body, a sensation Jiang Lin had never experienced before.
He absorbed the Yin Qi swirling around his body into himself, firmly stabilizing his current level.
*Hoo~*
Jiang Lin exhaled a breath of turbid air and stood up.
The immense power within him made him want to find a bull to test it against.
The biggest difference in combat power between a Ghost General and a Ghost Soldier
is that a Ghost General can imbue their body surface with Ghost Qi, forming formidable combat strength.
Jiang Lin extended his fist, channeling his internal Ghost Qi.
His fist was immediately covered by a thin layer of Ghost Qi.
This Ghost Qi flowed like fireworks, yet also like flowing water.
After adapting to his new power within the thatched hut, Jiang Lin headed to the Underworld Task Center.
Upon being promoted to Ghost General, there were two benefits.
First, he could have his own soldiers, up to ten.
Second, he could go to the Task Center and accept jobs outside his primary duties.
At the Task Center, you could post bounty missions or accept them.
If you had too much work, or encountered a particularly troublesome ghost,
you could post a mission here and have others complete it for you.
Conversely, if you had too little work and were finding it easy,
you could take on side jobs based on your own circumstances.
Everyone worked towards building a better Underworld, so this institution was officially certified.
The mission board was located in the center of the hall, visible to everyone.
When Jiang Lin arrived, many Ghost Messengers were already there.
They were looking at the mission board, occasionally exchanging a few words.
"Meng Po has posted another mission, still a missing person notice, and the reward is so generous!"
"What's the use of being envious? Meng Po has lived for thousands of years. The person she's waiting for would require someone at least at the level of a Great General to find."
Hearing this, Jiang Lin glanced sideways.
It was said that Meng Po was waiting for someone, and had been waiting since a thousand years ago. Her figure could often be seen on the Bridge of Helplessness.
Later, for some reason, she became Meng Po.
Finding someone from a thousand years ago now was too difficult.
Two Ghost Messengers were leaning against a nearby pillar, chatting while sipping wine.
They were also dressed as Black and White Impermanence.
"These ghosts nowadays are much harder to deal with than before."
"Indeed. They're all like they've been injected with chicken blood. Tell me, why is the resentment of people today even heavier than in ancient times?"
"I saw a Great Ghost General-level individual return injured last time. I don't know what mission they took."
"Really, if this continues, the Underworld will be full sooner or later. I really wish those people could see the Underworld, then they wouldn't dare to do evil anymore."
"You don't know this, but I heard that the Underworld was once truly at full capacity, with resentment soaring to the heavens."
"And then what?"
"I heard that a certain immortal sacrificed himself, purified all that resentment, and cleared out the Underworld."
"Tsk tsk~"
The two Ghost Messengers took a sip of wine, their faces filled with emotion.
Jiang Lin had heard these things from seniors before, but whether they were true or not, he couldn't say.
After waiting for a while in the mission hall, Jiang Lin accepted a newly posted mission.
According to the mission description, it wasn't very difficult.
He decided to test his skills.
"The streamer is out and about during the day again!"
"Slacking off at work to watch the streamer's broadcast."
"To the person upstairs, I am your boss."
"Huh, has the streamer entered a company? Is another employee going to die from overwork?"
"120 is on standby."
"Police Department: Where is this?"
"Damn, is the person upstairs for real? Are they verified?"
As soon as the live stream started, the viewers couldn't help but pop out.
Whether it was the return of the soul on the seventh day or the appearance of the national girlfriend Lin Ruoyi in the Underworld, Jiang Lin's live stream had gained considerable popularity.
Even Lin Ruoyi had secretly started following the streamer.
Finally seeing the live stream start, Lin Ruoyi didn't hesitate and began showering him with gifts.
She had no other way to repay him but to give gifts.
"Greetings, rich patron! Do you still need a leg accessory?"
"Praying for wealth!"
"666"
The live stream screen followed Jiang Lin as he entered a company.
Before entering, Jiang Lin explained today's mission to the viewers.
"Today, the main task is to pick up a soul that has lingered in the mortal realm. If nothing unexpected happens, it should have already become a ghost."
"Now, let's go in and take a look together."
JM was a clothing design company, considered one of the best in the industry.
Liu Moxue had joined after graduation, but she was merely a junior designer's assistant.
From eight in the morning to six in the evening.
With occasional overtime.
After finally collecting the design materials her superior needed and sending them with a single click on the computer, Liu Moxue couldn't help but slump onto her desk.
She went to the pantry to get a glass of lemon water.
A new message popped up on her desk phone.
"[The live stream you follow, 'Daily Healing in the Underworld,' has started. Come and watch.]"
"The streamer started this early today?"
Liu Moxue glanced around.
Her colleagues were all engrossed in their work.
She quietly lowered the volume and opened the live stream.
"Ahhh, the streamer is still so handsome today! Will he send dreams today?"
As soon as she entered the live stream, she heard the streamer speaking.
"Today, the main task is to pick up a soul that has lingered in the mortal realm. If nothing unexpected happens, it should have already become a ghost."
"Now, let's go in and take a look together."
Curiosity arose in Liu Moxue's heart. Why would a soul linger in the mortal realm?
Was it due to some obsession or an unjust grievance?
Thinking of the novels she had read before, Liu Moxue began to anticipate.
The screen followed the streamer into the company.
It ascended from the first floor and stopped after a while.
This was a very high-end looking office, with a predominantly cool color scheme.
Looking out the window, it was at least thirty to forty floors high, enough to make someone with acrophobia feel dizzy.
Liu Moxue, while trying not to be caught slacking off, secretly watched the live stream.
However...
Why did the office scene look somewhat familiar?
