Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

"Of course. Yao'er's physique is most compatible with the Changyuan clan's skills. The bottleneck will be much smaller after practicing. You should have felt it over the years. Yanli, you are not bad either, otherwise why would I accept you as my disciple? Do you think it's just because of your good relationship with Yao'er?" Qing Yuanzi said affirmatively.

"So that's how it is. I thought it was the credit of those spiritual objects given by my adoptive father." Yuan Yao suddenly realized.

Yanli also touched her delicate face with one of her little hands, looking very happy.

"Haha, Brother Jiang is right. Since you are all my close friends, I can't be stingy," Ye Ming couldn't help but smile. He took out two green storage bracelets and handed one to Yuan Yao and Yan Li respectively.

"You will practice here in the future. Make good use of the things in here. I believe it will be of great help to you."

"This... all these things are given to me? Are they appropriate?" Yanli swept her mind into the storage bracelet, and after seeing the large amount of cultivation resources, she couldn't help but hesitate.

"Senior Sister, just take it. These things are just a drizzle to Ye Ming." Yuan Yao touched Yanli's arm.

Yanli's eyes flashed, and after glancing at Ye Ming, she pursed her lips and put the storage bracelet away.

In the following time, after several people exchanged some experiences in daily practice and overcoming tribulations, Ye Ming and his party finally stayed temporarily in Qing Yuanzi's cave.

Although Yuan Yao's body is not yet completely stable,

……

A month later, a loud rumbling sound was heard over a wasteland in the Styx!
Suddenly, a silver sword light swept past, and the gray void was cut open, revealing a very long black crack.

The huge silver boat that had been floating in the low sky below suddenly made a buzzing sound and slowly flew towards the dark crack. After a few flashes, it disappeared into the crack.

After a while, there was a shake in the sky, and the black crack slowly healed as before.

Above a pile of rocks not far away, Yuan Yao and Yan Li were watching this scene quietly.

"Let's go, your good father has left this space. Sister, you don't have to be reluctant to leave. As long as you and I wait another two hundred years and our bodies are truly solidified, we can return to the human race and see him again. Hehe, you won't be so greedy that you can't even wait for this little bit of time!" Yuan Yao suddenly chuckled and said.

"What's the 'good father'? You know it's not a nice word as soon as you hear it. Fortunately he could think of it. Didn't you call me sister? And you are still talking about me." Yanli spat.

"Humph, I'm not like someone who keeps yelling and wants to yell all the time."

"Hehe, sister, if you keep saying that, believe it or not I will make you scream here..." The two girls started to play closely together.

……

The Chirong Mountains are a famous spiritual place in the Fengyuan Continent. There are countless volcanoes of all sizes distributed here. It is a volcanic group filled with fire-attributed spiritual energy.

In the central area of ​​this volcanic group, there are three strange peaks about ten thousand feet high, called "Black Scorched Peaks".

Three peaks stand in a triangular shape in the middle of a pile of rocks covered with black and red stones, and a pungent smell of sulfur blows with the hot wind.

On this day, a huge silver boat a thousand feet long appeared silently near the Black Jiao Peak.

Today is the day of the Haolian Merchant Alliance’s auction that is held every few decades. However, this time, the Merchant Alliance has set the auction location at the Heijiao Peak in the Chirong Mountains.

"It's a bit surprising that the Haolian Merchant Alliance chose such an eye-catching place as the venue for this auction." On the front deck of the giant ship, a tall and slender woman in silver clothes said casually after taking a look at the surrounding environment.

“Haha, the Haolian Merchant Alliance is confident of its strength and doesn’t worry at all that anyone would dare to cause trouble. They can choose any place they want. But in order to make it easier for more high-level cultivators to find them, it makes sense that they chose such an easily recognizable place.” A young man in white clothes, with a handsome face and deep eyes, said lightly.

Standing next to the young man was a barefoot woman in white clothes with a very beautiful face.

The three people were Ye Mingbingfeng and Baohua and their group.

After they left the Styx, they found two ancient altars in the area near the Feiling tribe. After some calculations, Baohua concluded that the entrance to Xiaolingtian was not in Fengyuan Continent.

So the three of them headed straight for the Chirong Mountains, which were closest to the altar, and prepared to use the Haolian Merchant Alliance's inter-continental teleportation array to teleport to the Leiming Continent.

In fact, Ye Ming knew in his heart that the entrance to Xiaolingtian was somewhere in Leiming Continent, but he couldn't say it himself, so the task of finding the entrance to Xiaolingtian was entirely left to Baohua.

As for why he didn't teleport directly from Tianmiao City to Leiming Continent, it was not only because he didn't want to expose his ability of foresight, but also because he wanted to meet Qing Yuanzi and bring him back to the human race.

Now that everything was settled, he naturally had to focus on Xiao Ling Tian. He was not sure whether Nangong Wan and Wang Ning were in Xiao Ling Tian, ​​but he had to give it a try.

After Bing Feng advanced to the Mahayana stage, it was her first time to travel outside. She naturally wanted to come and see an auction like the one organized by the Haolian Merchant Alliance. Therefore, Ye Ming took the opportunity to bring her and Baohua here.

As soon as the giant silver boat approached the "Black Scorched Peak", it was immediately stopped by a team of alien guards riding giant eagles.

Each of these guards was dressed in black armor, carrying a bow and a sword on their backs. They were tall, but their faces were all completely covered by masks.

"Seniors, the area ahead is our alliance's restricted area. Without the token, I'm afraid we can't move forward."

The leading guard saw the huge size of the boat and the densely packed puppet soldiers on it, and naturally knew that the people on the boat were extraordinary. He immediately saluted respectfully and then spoke in a low voice, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"Take it." Ye Ming had participated in two auctions organized by the Haolian Business Alliance and knew that their procedures were similar. He took out an item and threw it away as if nothing had happened.

The leading guard grabbed the object thrown by Ye Ming and took a closer look. It turned out to be a golden token with an unknown exquisite spiritual pattern engraved on one side and a golden word "Alliance" on the other side, with a slightly smaller word "Ming" below it.

"So you are the distinguished guest of our chief steward. I will take you to the forbidden area right away." The leading guard's face changed slightly after seeing the token clearly. He immediately handed it back with both hands and said without hesitation. Moreover, his expression became more respectful.

He no longer had any intention of questioning Ju Zhou and Bing Feng Bao Hua.

The following process was similar to the two times Ye Ming participated in the auction. Several people passed through layers of restrictions and entered an underground world with layers of buildings and an extremely vast area.

However, this time, Ye Ming was not arranged to wait in the reception area. Instead, shortly after entering the underground world, he met a group of seventy or eighty people.

This team of foreign monks stood in an orderly manner on a wide road, looking eagerly as if they were waiting to greet someone.

The leader was a tall, dignified-looking red-haired old man. When he saw Ye Ming, Bing Feng and the other two, he immediately came forward with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, no wonder the magpies are chirping non-stop today, it turns out that there are distinguished guests visiting! I, Mingzun, am honored to meet the three Taoist friends here. I am honored that Taoist friend Ye has come to visit me, welcome, welcome!"

This old man is the chief steward of Haolian Merchant Alliance in Fengyuan Continent, Mingzun.

As soon as Ming Zun finished speaking, the dozens of aliens came to pay their respects to Ye Ming and said in unison: "Greetings to the three seniors. I wish you great progress in your cultivation and eternal life!"

"Friend Ming, there's no need for all this pomp and circumstance. I'm simply here to attend the auction." Ye Ming looked at the scene, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Hey, these younger generations heard that Fellow Daoist Ye is here, and they all want to come out to see your true appearance. Please don't be surprised, Fellow Daoist. With your current reputation outside, there are countless people who want to see you. It's no wonder that they can't wait and come here to see you at the risk of being punished." Ming Zun waved his hand and explained.

"No need to be so polite, everyone. Please stand up!" Seeing this, Ye Ming gently waved his sleeves.

An invisible force surged out, surrounding them in an instant and affecting everyone in the team.

And lift them up from the bottom up!

"Thank you, Senior Ye!" These people raised their heads and looked at Ye Ming curiously.

Among these people, there were more than ten to twenty who had reached the fusion stage, and forty to fifty who were in the void refining stage. It was indeed a rather grand welcome ceremony.

"Please, Fellow Daoist Ye, I will take the three couples to the VIP building." At this time, Ming Zun stretched out his hand and made a gesture of inviting, as if he was going to lead the way himself.

"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Lao Ming." Ye Ming said with a smile.

Not long after Ye Ming and the other two followed Ming Zun in flight, they saw a lush green forest.

This dense forest is filled with extremely pure spiritual energy, and there are only a few exquisitely carved pavilions and towers built in it.

Each building complex is several miles apart, and is naturally separated by lush giant trees, making it appear extremely quiet and elegant.

After the four people arrived above the dense forest, they slowly landed and walked straight to the center.

Finally, it stopped in front of a magnificent palace.

This palace is more than ten acres in size, with dragons and phoenixes carved everywhere, and is extremely gorgeous. Above the huge entrance to the palace, the three ancient characters "Feixian Palace" are shining.

Moreover, this palace was different from other places. It was the only one in the palace complex that was protected by a ban. The entire palace was shrouded in a huge colorful light curtain.

"My three fellow Taoists, this is the No. 1 VIP building of our alliance here. It is usually guarded by restrictions, and we will not arrange for people to come in and rest. Only people like you are worthy of our alliance to use it. What do you three think of this place? If you don't like it, you can choose any other place." Ming Zun pointed to the palace and introduced it.

"Brother Ming Daoist, you are thoughtful. Let's do it here." Ye Ming nodded.

After getting a positive answer, Ming Zun took out an extremely exquisite wooden plaque that exuded a strong spiritual energy from his arms and handed it to Ye Ming.

"This is the only token that controls the restrictions. Please keep it safe. Of course, if you are not sure about these restrictions, you can set them up yourself."

"Hmm!" Ye Ming took the token and looked at it over and over again.

Then, Ming Zun said with a chuckle, "My three Taoist friends have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to come to our alliance, and you must be a little tired. I won't disturb you to rest. There is still more than half a month before the auction starts. I will come back to talk to you in detail in two days, okay?"

"Please do as you please, Brother Ming! This is not the first time I attend your auction. There is no need for you to entertain me personally later. Just go and do your own thing." Ye Ming waved his hand and said indifferently.

After Ming Zun apologized again, a red light flashed on his body and he turned into a red rainbow and left.

After Ming Zun's back completely disappeared, Ye Ming played with the token in his hand for a few times, and then sent out his magic power.

A golden beam of light swept out with a "puff" and instantly swept across the colorful light curtain.

The light curtain that seemed extremely thick and solid flowed like water and split into two sides at the entrance of the palace, revealing a gap as wide as the palace door.

"Let's go!" Ye Ming called out and walked up the steps in front of the door.

Bingfeng and Baohua followed closely.

There were no restrictions on the two palace doors made of top-grade spiritual wood. They could be easily opened with just a slight push.

The various arrangements inside continue the style of the outside and are equally gorgeous.

However, before the three of them could see clearly what was going on inside the hall, they saw eighteen young ladies in palace clothes waiting there. When they saw Ye Ming appear, they immediately bowed and paid their respects.
"See Master!"

"What?" Ye Ming was stunned and looked at these women in astonishment.

Bingfeng and Baohua were also confused.

These eighteen women looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old and were obviously not from the same ethnic group. Some had horns on their heads, some had snow-white skin, but each of them was beautiful and charming, and in their hands they each held incense burners, ruyi, whisks and other utensils.

What is even more worrying is that these eighteen young women, although very young, have cultivation levels around the Nascent Soul stage.

The leader was a purple-robed girl who had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage.

"What are you doing..." Ye Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Senior, please don't be surprised. We are all specially trained fragrant girls in our alliance. Not only have we grown up eating the honey of a hundred flowers, so our bodies can emit the fragrance of a hundred flowers, but all of us have pure Xuan Yin essence and have always remained virgins. If we are taken in as a cauldron, it will naturally be of great benefit.

According to the rules of our alliance, all top guests who come to participate in our auction will be given a group of fragrant women to accompany them. I am also one of them, but because my cultivation is slightly higher, I am their leader. "The purple-clothed woman explained without blinking, and when she said that she was also one of the cauldrons, she looked unconcerned.
