Chapter 420: Yin Tea
Master Jiang knew what he should and should not say, so at the time he made a promise to Luo Yao.
The subsequent process was simple. With Luo Yao, the Guardian, standing up for him, the path was smooth sailing. Many procedures were skipped due to Luo Yao\'s connections, and it did not take much time before Master Jiang became a member of the underworld ghost attendants.
As for Luo Yao, he merely made a quick greeting and then handed Master Jiang over to the relevant underworld departments, before disappearing to who knows where.
Given Luo Yao\'s status and position, of course he could not accompany Master Jiang around. The fact that he took the time to greet the relevant underworld departments was already quite generous of him.
Master Jiang\'s ability to become a ghost attendant was not only because of his lifetime of contributions to the Yin Division, but also because Luo Yao had put in a good word for him.
If Luo Yao had not put in a good word, even with Master Jiang\'s contributions to the Yin Division, he still might have had a good chance of becoming a ghost attendant, but it would not have been a sure thing.
However, with Luo Yao, the Guardian, putting in a good word, the situation naturally became quite different.
Hearing Master Jiang\'s account of how he became a ghost attendant in the underworld, Yang Haoran developed a sense of respect for Luo Yao.In Luo Yao\'s eyes, both he and Master Jiang were just minor characters, but the fact that he kept his promise and truly helped Master Jiang become a ghost attendant was quite rare. Other Guardians might not have even bothered to take such a trivial matter seriously, let alone spend their time on it.
After finishing the story of how he became a ghost attendant, Master Jiang proceeded to share some of his experiences and anecdotes as a ghost attendant. The two engaged in lively conversation, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Master Jiang\'s residence.
While Master Jiang\'s residence was not as large as Yang Haoran\'s villa in the mortal realm, it still spanned over 200 square meters. For a single person to live in such a spacious house was considered quite luxurious, at least for the lowest-level ghosts in the underworld.
The most important thing is that this residence did not cost Master Jiang a single hell coin, as it was a welfare benefit provided to ghost attendants by the underworld.
After inviting Yang Haoran to sit down, Master Jiang brewed a pot of tea for him.
As Yang Haoran was still marveling at the fact that Master Jiang, wearing a human skin, would also drink tea, Master Jiang poured him a cup. Looking at the tea in front of him, Master Jiang\'s expression momentarily stiffened, and a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.
This tea was different from the tea Yang Haoran had drunk in the mortal realm. In the mortal realm, the tea would at most release a small amount of steam, but the tea Master Jiang had poured for him was visibly releasing black Yin Qi, and the tea itself was also black in color.
"This is..." Yang Haoran first looked at the tea in front of him, then shifted his gaze to Master Jiang, his expression of surprise not only not diminishing, but even intensifying.
"This is a type of Yin tea that contains pure Yin Qi. After being brewed with cold water, it will release a certain amount of pure Yin Qi, which is quite beneficial for us members of the Yin Division," Master Jiang explained with a smile.
Yang Haoran had never heard of this Yin tea before. Although he knew that there were treasures other than Soul Pills that could release pure Yin Qi, he had never heard of this Yin tea.
Noticing the surprise in Yang Haoran\'s eyes, Master Jiang smiled and said, "Go ahead and try it, see how you feel."
Yang Haoran didn\'t hesitate, nodding with a smile. He then picked up the cup in front of him and took a light sip of the black tea.
The tea was ice-cold, and afterwards Yang Haoran clearly felt a trace of pure Yin Qi spreading through his body and being absorbed, becoming part of his Yin spirit power.
However, the pure Yin Qi released by this sip of tea was not much, just a faint trace.
"Yin tea is different from the tea leaves in the mortal realm. To fully release the pure Yin Qi in the Yin tea, you can\'t use hot water, but need to use cold water to brew it. That way, the pure Yin Qi in the Yin tea can be fully released. But..." Master Jiang\'s face took on a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"But what?" Yang Haoran asked curiously with a smile.
"However, this yin tea is only the lowest grade of yin tea. Hehe, I also want to get some good yin tea to entertain you, but the price of yin tea is really too expensive. With my current ability, I can only afford this lowest-grade yin tea." Master Jiang chuckled.
Hearing Master Jiang\'s explanation, Yang Haoran\'s face broke into a smile.
"Master Jiang, you are too kind. I came to find you to catch up, not to mooch off you. Just being able to sit here and chat with you, I am already very satisfied. What you use to entertain me really doesn\'t matter. Moreover, your yin tea is quite good. In the past, I have never seen this kind of thing, not even heard of it."
Master Jiang also smiled in response, then said, "Although this yin tea of mine is the lowest grade, the price is still not low. The higher-grade yin teas are even more exorbitantly priced. But there is a reason for their high prices, because the higher-grade yin teas release a much more concentrated pure yin qi, which cannot be compared to my low-grade one."
After finishing, Master Jiang also gently sipped the yin tea in front of him, and then continued, "As far as I know, some top-grade yin teas, with just a small cup, can be comparable to a soul pill in terms of the pure yin qi they contain. But I have never seen such yin teas myself, so I\'m not sure if it\'s true or not."
That a cup of yin tea could be equivalent to a soul pill, Master Jiang\'s words still caused Yang Haoran\'s heart to be filled with surprise. He was well aware of how much pure yin qi a soul pill could release, so he was quite amazed to hear this.
Seeing the even stronger surprise on Yang Haoran\'s face, Master Jiang hurriedly explained with a smile, "I\'ve only heard about it, I don\'t know if it\'s true or not. Don\'t take it as the absolute truth."
In response, Yang Haoran nodded slightly at Master Jiang.
He did not nod because he did not believe there could be such yin teas, but simply to go along with Master Jiang. Based on his understanding of Master Jiang, he was not the type of person to speak carelessly, so if Master Jiang said so, it was very likely to be true.
"The good things in the Underworld are really quite numerous. I\'m finding that Underworld\'s hell coins are much more useful than the New Genesis Coins in the mortal realm," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Master Jiang chuckled, then took a sip of tea and continued, "It depends on how you understand it. The New Genesis Coins in the mortal realm also have many uses. If used in the right places, they can also create certain value."
Master Jiang\'s words suddenly gave Yang Haoran a moment of enlightenment.
Yang Haoran was currently very short of hell coins, but he did not lack New Genesis Coins. If he could maximize the value of the New Genesis Coins and utilize them fully, he might unexpectedly gain a lot.
Thinking about this, Yang Haoran couldn\'t help but become interested in his large amount of New Genesis Coins again. However, in the current situation, he did not dwell on this matter further, deciding to re-plan and fully utilize his New Genesis Coins after returning to the mortal realm.
After taking a sip of the yin tea and feeling the pure yin qi it released, a look of enjoyment appeared on Yang Haoran\'s face.
Then he continued to speak to Master Jiang, "Master Jiang, may I ask you something?"
"Haha, between you and me, there\'s no need for such formalities. You can ask me anything you want to know, as long as it\'s not a secret of the Underworld that I\'m not allowed to reveal. I can tell you everything." Master Jiang replied with a smile.
