After Xianwu Sea and the others left, the living room became somewhat quiet.
So quiet that you could even hear the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves outside.
"Thank you..." Xianyun was the first to break the silence.
"No need to thank me, I promised to help you catch the ghost, and I won't go back on my word."
Mo Lin thought of something and said to Xianyun, "You said earlier that if I catch a ghost for you, you'll give me a house and a car?"
Mo Lin preferred tangible things over verbal gratitude.
"What kind of house do you want? I can arrange it for you, and as for the car, I'll personally deliver it to you tomorrow."
For Xianyun, things like cars and houses were trivial matters.
She might not be good at ghost hunting, but when it came to houses and cars, she was definitely an expert.
Xianyun had several real estate developers collaborating under her belt.
"I want a house with heavy Yin energy."
There was a reason why Mo Lin wanted a house with heavy Yin energy.
Considering that his senior from the Underworld might come looking for him in the mortal world, at least she would have a place to stay.
Ghosts inherently prefer places with more Yin energy.
And the Yin Messenger he saved earlier would also need a place to stay, which is why Mo Lin desired a house with heavy Yin energy.
"There's a house with heavy Yin energy in the East District of Yun Chuan City, a villa over a thousand square meters. I'll give that villa to you," Xianyun stated directly.
"Okay," Mo Lin nodded in agreement.
"Please wait a moment." Xianyun left after saying this.
After about five minutes, she returned with a stack of Netherworld Currency and handed it to Mo Lin.
"Mo, this is ten thousand Netherworld Coins."
Mo Lin accepted the Netherworld Currency and thanked Xianyun, "Thank you, I'll figure out a way to repay you the Netherworld Coins."
With these ten thousand Netherworld Coins, Mo Lin could completely heal the Ghost Messenger's injuries.
"Do you know any quick ways to earn Netherworld Coins?" Mo Lin was in dire need of Netherworld Coins now.
He still owed Wang Bing ten thousand Netherworld Coins.
Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
"I have a way that could let you quickly earn enough Netherworld Coins, but it's somewhat unrealistic," Xianyun thought of an idea that wasn't very realistic.
"Tell me."
"If you have Ghost Artifacts to sell, you could earn enough Netherworld Coins."
Indeed, Ghost Artifacts were expensive items.
Even a slightly inferior Ghost Artifact could easily sell for several thousand Netherworld Coins.
A better Ghost Artifact could fetch a high price of several tens of thousands of Netherworld Coins.
As long as there are Ghost Artifacts, selling them won't be an issue.
Many Ghost-Controlling Masters wanted to buy a Ghost Artifact.
However, too few Ghost Artifacts were produced.
This was because Ghost Artifacts are crafted by ghosts and are considered their life-bound treasures.
A ghost might only craft one Ghost Artifact in its lifetime.
This made them extremely rare.
Additionally, obtaining them was very difficult.
Under normal circumstances, no ghost would give their Ghost Artifact to someone else.
Unless under very special circumstances.
Either the ghost was killed and the Ghost Artifact was taken,
or the ghost crafted multiple Ghost Artifacts and sold one to a human.
Mo Lin's pupils gradually enlarged.
He seemed to have discovered another way to earn Netherworld Coins.
Ghost Refining Device?
That wasn't easy at all?
For Mo Lin, crafting Ghost Artifacts was something he was highly skilled at.
Being a member of the Yin Department, he had the capability to craft Ghost Artifacts.
Moreover, King Yan had once taught him how to craft Ghost Artifacts.
The most important material for crafting Ghost Artifacts was Netherworld Currency.
Now that Mo Lin had enough Netherworld Currency, he could craft many Ghost Artifacts.
"Mo, even if you don't have Ghost Artifacts to sell, it's fine. I can figure out a way to help you raise Netherworld Coins," Xianyun comforted Mo Lin.
"If I have Ghost Artifacts, where can they be sold?" Mo Lin asked Xianyun.
"In the city center of Yun Chuan, at the Four-sided Courtyard, which is a place where Ghost-Controlling Masters trade with each other. If you have Ghost Artifacts, you can sell them there. Someone will definitely buy them."
Ghost Artifacts were precious items, any that were for sale would definitely be bought by someone.
No Ghost-Controlling Master would ever think they had too many Ghost Artifacts.
"Alright."
Without further delay, Mo Lin bid farewell to Xianyun and returned to the hotel to prepare for crafting Ghost Artifacts.
.....
In the hotel room.
Mo Lin stood in the center of the room, holding ten notes worth one hundred Netherworld Coins in his right hand.
The Netherworld Currency transformed into Nether Qi in the air, and then slowly condensed into the shape of a small knife over ten centimeters long.
Of course, it was just a phantom.
Mo Lin controlled the phantom of the small knife to float in the air, slowly solidifying.
Bending his hand into various forms, Mo Lin began placing smaller denominations of Netherworld Currency onto the top of the knife phantom.
At times, he placed ten-denomination Netherworld Currency, and at times, he placed one-denomination.
At the same time, Mo Lin was continually changing his hand gestures.
This set of actions was a personally taught Artifact Refining Technique from King Yan himself.
Throughout the Underworld, less than ten people knew this Artifact Refining Technique.
Mo Lin could only craft Ghost Artifacts.
Yin Artifacts, he could not craft; Yin Artifacts were significantly more advanced than Ghost Artifacts.
After about thirty minutes, Mo Lin finally finished crafting the first Ghost Artifact.
A small knife.
This item wasn't usable indefinitely.
This Ghost Artifact was low-grade, and using it once would deplete the ghostly energy within. Mo Lin's crafted small knife could be used up to seven times at most.
But that was enough, at least to solve some minor trouble.
There are high-grade Ghost Artifacts that can be used indefinitely without limiting the number of uses, but crafting such things is too troublesome.
The process is complicated, and it requires a lot of Netherworld Currency, and most importantly, it takes a lot of time.
At least ten thousand Netherworld Coins are required to craft a high-grade Ghost Artifact, and that's for a simple one.
Some high-grade Ghost Artifacts with special effects require at least ten thousand Netherworld Coins or more, and of course, the crafting time would be even longer.
Mo Lin didn't have enough Netherworld Coins to craft high-grade Ghost Artifacts, and he didn't want to expend his own energy.
Mo Lin had Yin Artifacts, so he had no interest in Ghost Artifacts.
Upon completing the first low-grade Ghost Artifact, Mo Lin began crafting the second low-grade Ghost Artifact.
As for the shape of the Ghost Artifact, it all depended on Mo Lin's mood.
Shapes of knives, forks, axes, and halberds could all be made.
Of course, crafting defensive low-grade Ghost Artifacts was a bit more troublesome and required more Netherworld Currency.
Consuming Netherworld Currency... crafting...
Mo Lin kept repeating these actions.
After a whole night, Mo Lin only crafted four low-grade Ghost Artifacts, spending over seven thousand Netherworld Coins.
The ten thousand Netherworld Coins borrowed from Xianyun were almost depleted.
The four Ghost Artifacts should sell for a decent price.
Unknowingly, it was already five in the morning, and Mo Lin couldn't hold out anymore. He decided to stop crafting Ghost Artifacts and went straight to sleep.
...
Sunlight streaming through the window fell on Mo Lin's face, waking him. It was already one in the afternoon.
"Sir, you're awake."
Upon opening the door, a woman in a red dress respectfully greeted Mo Lin.
It seemed she had been waiting at the door for a while.
"Who are you?"
"I was sent by Miss Xianyun to deliver a car to you." The woman introduced herself.
"The car Miss bought for you is right at the hotel entrance. Here are the keys," the woman said, handing the car keys to Mo Lin.
At the hotel entrance, a brand-new black Rolls-Royce was parked, even the license plates were newly placed.
This car showed just how sincere Xianyun's gesture was.
