Chapter 46: Mocha Elder's Astonishment

  In the imperial capital, a large complex of buildings stood in the southern part. Here, dozens of houses stood upright, and there was a huge martial arts arena. At the entrance of the courtyard, the two characters "Ji Feng" (Rapid Wind) were written in bold strokes, making people dare not look directly at them. Two high-ranking professionals stood guard at the gate, their stern atmosphere intimidating countless petty thieves.

  That's right, this is the headquarters of the Whirlwind Mercenary Corps, one of the four major mercenary corps. As one of the four major mercenary corps, its status in the empire is still very high. After all, this is a world full of crises, and even if you go to another city, you can encounter monster attacks on the road.

  The land is vast, the population sparse, and monsters roam free. This is the true state of this world. Not everyone possesses armed strength, nor can everyone become a magician or swordsman. Thus, the utility of mercenary groups emerges. In the eyes of all on the continent, mercenary groups are an indispensable profession. If you have money, you can temporarily obtain powerful people to help you with tasks.

  "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...", sitting by the window, Oro, the leader of the mercenary group, felt a swift wind eagle quickly approaching, raised his hand, and the wind eagle landed obediently on his arm.

  "What a long letter?" Seeing the letter tied to the hawk's body, Oulu was stunned and took it down with some surprise. He unfolded it and a large paragraph of text appeared before him.

  "The Netherworld? The Naihe Bridge? The Longing for Hometown Platform? The Yellow Spring Road? The Ten Halls of Yanluo? The Six Paths of Reincarnation? Meng Po's Broth......" As Oulu looked at the letter in his hand, his expression became increasingly serious. What was recorded here were exactly the legendary stories about the Netherworld. The grand Netherworld, yet without any loopholes, formed a grand system that was impenetrable...

  "There's actually such a legend!? It's too overwhelming... I'm shocked by the grandeur of the ghost world," muttered Oro, and regardless of whether the legend is true or not, at least this vast system, just hearing about it feels shocking, it's basically creating another real world for ghosts.

  "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...", just as Oulu finished reading the letter in his hand and was lost in thought, the sound of flapping wings rose again. Oulu looked up to see another hawk flying over, and it was also from the direction of the Setting Sun Forest.

  "What's going on? Again?", it had only been a few minutes since the last one, and yet another letter arrived, Olo was even more perplexed, but still reached out to take down the letter.

  "What? Putting one's thoughts and feelings into something called paper money, burning it can reach the ghost world? Is this the currency of the ghost world? And in this process, you can feel the presence of the deceased!?" At this, Oulu was even more shocked.

  The letter said that all three people felt very calm and seemed to really sense the presence of the deceased, which was the most shocking thing for Orol.

  Behind the letter, there was also a yellow paper money attached. Holding the yellow paper money, Oluo carefully examined it for a while and really couldn't see anything special about it. However, after hesitating for a moment, Oluo had someone take away the paper money and ordered people to make a big bag of it.

  Holding a bag of paper money, Oluo himself walked into the courtyard and started burning it. At the same time, he thought of those friends who fell one by one on the battlefield. As the flames burned, his thoughts of his comrades were also conveyed, and Oluo's mood became calm. It seemed that he could feel the presence of the deceased...

  "It's indeed this feeling, although I don't have a clear sense of them, but vaguely, I do feel their existence......" After closing his eyes to savor the feeling for a while, Oulu opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

  It's just the simple act of burning paper, yet it can calm one's mood, which shocked Oro. He also believed in the legend of the ghost world a bit more, and similarly, he was very concerned about Lin Chen...

  After a moment of silence, Olo turned around and went back to the house, calling over the person in charge of the mercenary group's intelligence work, instructing them to go investigate Lin Chen's whereabouts and pay attention to everything about Lin Chen.

  When the person in charge of intelligence nodded and went to investigate Lin Chen's whereabouts, Oulu took the paper money again and went to find other high-level mercenaries. This method of burning paper money to express nostalgia for the dead is indeed effective, and Oulu wants to tell others about it.

  In order to give the woman a spiritual haven, Lin Chen mentioned the ghost world, but he didn't expect that this casual remark would make the Ji Feng Mercenary Corps start paying attention to him. At this time, Lin Chen was still with Mo Ka Elder.

  "Lin Chen, little brother, this method is indeed very useful. Who did you learn it from?" Elder Mocha asked excitedly, holding the magic potion in his hand, its efficacy increased by a large margin. He looked at Lin Chen with inquiry, knowing that someone who knew how to refine such a medicine wouldn't be inferior to himself.

  After a moment of silence, thinking about this kind of thing, others wouldn't tell themselves either. And since he had already told Xia Lu that when he was in the deep mountains, there was an old man who knew medicine, Lin Chen just followed his own words and explained: "Oh, I just heard it from our family's old man."

  "What's the name of the old man in your family? Maybe I've heard of him, or maybe not," Mocha elder was taken aback by Lin Chen's answer, and then asked. Master pharmacists above epic level are all very famous, as long as they can say their names, they generally know who they are.

  "I don't know his name either, I just call him old man," Lin Chen replied with a shake of his head.

  "Ah, it seems like you're a hermit of great stature", nodded Mocha Elder, muttering to himself. He then took another look at Lin Chen and smiled, saying: "Since you've been living with that pharmacist for so many years, I suppose you must have received the true teachings from that great master?"

  "I don't think I've exposed my pharmacist abilities," Lin Chen waved his hand, "No, Elder Mocha, you're wrong. That old man didn't teach me pharmacy skills. The reason I know some of this is just because I've heard it before, that's all."

  "Ear wet and eye stained? What a great phrase!" Mocha's eyes lit up as she gazed at Lin Chen in admiration.

  At this time, Xia Lu next to him heard Lin Chen say that he was not good at pharmacy, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Lin Chen, you're too modest? Your pharmacy skills are at least above excellent."

  "Oh?" Indeed, upon hearing Xia Lu's words, Moka Elder's eyes lit up, and he stared at Lin Chen seriously. Without even studying pharmacology, but merely through osmosis, he could become a top-notch pharmacist? This talent was absolutely not to be underestimated.

  "Yes, Elder Mocha, look at this. This is the tranquilizer that Lin Chen has refined. What do you think?" Seeing his own words cause a significant reaction from Elder Mocha, Xia Lu became somewhat excited, thrilled to be conversing with an epic-level pharmacist elder, and hastily took out the tranquilizer that Lin Chen had refined last time to ask.

  "It's done......", seeing Xia Lu somewhat showily taking out the Anxin medicine she had refined last time, Lin Chen couldn't help but shake his head secretly. That Anxin medicine was a perfect-grade medicine after all.

  As expected, upon seeing the tranquilizing potion in Xia Lu's hand, Mo Ka elder carefully examined it for a moment, his expression changed, and his eyes fixed intently on Lin Chen, saying: "Young brother! Is this potion personally refined by you? This is actually a perfect-grade potion!"
