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

"Haha, come to think of it, I have some connection with the fairy. The things that the fairy left in the human world back then were of great help to me." Ye Ming stretched out his hand to support her.

"Oh, I have actually helped you, fellow Taoist? This is a great honor." Fairy Bingpo raised the corner of her mouth.

"Haha, come on, everyone, sit down first and talk." Ye Ming greeted.

"This is what happened. Back then..."

After everyone sat down again, Ye Ming briefly introduced the things that Bingpo left in the human world, such as the Xu Tian Ding and Qianlan Bingyan.

"So that's how it is. I just did it casually back then, but I didn't expect it to have this effect."

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Ye, Fellow Daoist Bingpo, the human world you are in is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. All of you sitting here, except for me, Brother Ao, and the two members of the Ye family, are actually from the same human world. By the way, I have reason to suspect that your human world is a world that is especially favored by the Heavenly Dao!" Mo Jianli said jokingly.

"That's right. I think so too." Ao Xiao on the side also said so.

"In that case, I can believe that the way of heaven has also favored our two races of humans and demons in the spiritual world, because all of us have come here and now belong to the same camp." Qing Yuanzi took over the conversation.

"That's right, that's right!" Mo Jianli was stunned for a moment, then said while twirling his long beard.

"Everyone, I didn't get much from this long journey, but I did get a lot of these special spirit wines and teas. Come on, please taste some..."

What followed was some greetings after not seeing each other for a long time, and everyone talked about some interesting things or experiences with witty remarks.

After three rounds of drinking, when the conversation got deeper, Ye Ming coughed lightly and said:
"I invited everyone here today because, firstly, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we want to get together; secondly, I have something important to announce that will affect the prosperity of our human race and lay the foundation for a thousand years!"

"Oh?"

Hearing Ye Ming's serious words, everyone sat up straight and focused all their attention on Ye Ming.

"My fellow Taoists just mentioned that the number of high-level cultivators in our two tribes is far from meeting the needs. Now, I want to tell you that I have a way to train a large number of high-level cultivators in a short period of time! Not only those in the Void Refining Stage, but also those in the Fusion Stage."

"What! There is such a thing!"

"Really?"

"What is the specific method? What do we need to do? Brother Ye, please tell us in detail."

Bing Feng and the others who were already prepared were fine, and they were all waiting calmly for Ye Ming's next words.

Mo Jianli and the others who had just returned were all surprised and happy.

"Haha, everyone, please be patient and listen to me slowly..."

……

After a short discussion among the group, these Mahayana ancestors left one after another with excitement on their faces.

Soon after, both the human and demon races were shocked.

Several ancestors spread the word that they intended to recruit a group of disciples from across the clan.

Furthermore, the admission conditions are quite broad, so broad that most people feel they have a chance to become a disciple of the Mahayana ancestor, because there are only two conditions.

One is that if you have excellent or top-notch qualifications, then no matter what your level of cultivation is, you can be selected.

Second, as long as you are stuck at a bottleneck and cannot break through due to lack of spiritual assistance, you can go and sign up with the Human Emperor or Demon King of your choice.

Moreover, in the three stages of transformation of spirit, refining of emptiness, and integration of the body, no matter you are stuck at a small bottleneck or a big bottleneck, you will all be recruited.

The above two conditions do not need to be met in full, as long as one of them is met.

At this moment, almost all the monks were in a frenzy of excitement, and all kinds of discussions were taking place all the time in the vast territory.

"Hey, have you heard? Patriarch Mo is going to accept a disciple."

"Of course not. I heard that not only Patriarch Mo, but several other Patriarchs are also recruiting disciples. Brother Zhong, which Patriarch do you plan to sign up with?"

"Isn't that nonsense? Of course it's Patriarch Ye!"

"Hahaha, it's the same as my idea. Brother Zhong, let's go." The two monks who were talking to each other immediately escaped together and headed towards the Tianling Realm.

“Hmph, a bunch of idiots. Among us, both humans and demons, who doesn’t want to join Patriarch Ye’s sect? But can he accept so many? It’s better to grab a spot from other ancestors while there are fewer people…” A young man who heard the conversation between the two sneered disdainfully and flew in the opposite direction.

"Hehe, there are countless smart-aleck guys like you in this world. Do you think you are the only one who has such an idea..." Another old man who observed the young man's behavior murmured slowly, then also set up a light of escape and flew towards the wilderness.

In this way, throughout the human and demon races, anyone who believed that they met the requirements would go to the human emperors or demon kings to sign up without hesitation.

……

Inside a quiet room in the Brahma Palace.

"Senior Brother, I didn't expect that you would have a way to enter Guanghan Realm during the non-window period. I really admire you. But, I'm afraid I can't participate in this trip to Guanghan Realm." Han Li said with admiration and helplessness.

"It was all just a coincidence back then, not worth mentioning. Junior brother, just tell me what you want to say, why are you being so polite to me." Ye Ming smiled. This cheap junior brother stayed after everyone left and talked to him a lot of random things.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just feel like there's something wrong with my practice recently. Brother, your magical powers are unfathomable. Could you help me figure it out?" Han Li forced a smile.

"Oh? Problems in cultivation are not trivial matters. Can you explain them in detail, Junior Brother?" Ye Ming raised his eyebrows and became interested.

"Brother, please look!" Han Li didn't say anything. After a flash of crystal light appeared between his eyebrows, he released all the thoughts in his mind.

The divine consciousness, which was originally an invisible body, formed a strong wind in an instant, becoming substantial, blowing the indoor restrictions to a humming sound. "Hey! Junior brother, your divine consciousness is so powerful, much better than all the Mahayana cultivators I have seen, even compared to that Ma Liang, it seems to be not much different. You are really lucky!" Ye Ming said in surprise after sensing it.

"Brother, take a closer look." Han Li's expression was solemn. Instead of retracting his divine sense, he urged it to become even more powerful.

This time, Ye Ming finally felt something was wrong. "Your mind seems to be unusually active. What's the feeling? Oh, it gives me a feeling like it's going to explode at any time!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li withdrew his spiritual thoughts, sighed deeply, and his eyes showed deep worry.

"That's true. Although my spiritual power seems powerful now, its foundation is not solid and I am at risk of losing control at any time. Especially in the past hundred years, I have often had splitting headaches. At first, they only occurred during cultivation, but later, they could occur at any time and under any circumstances. Moreover, they occur more and more frequently, and the pain becomes more severe each time. If this continues, I am afraid..."

Han Li stopped talking here, but Ye Ming understood what he meant. After thinking for a while, he asked:

"This situation has been going on for hundreds of years. I'm sure you have investigated the cause. What do you think?"

Han Li sighed, "It's also my fault that I coveted the benefits of a powerful divine mind and practiced a divine mind secret technique. This divine mind secret technique requires a strong physical body to support it. I originally thought that my physical body should be fine. But now it seems that it is not the case, or the divine mind secret technique itself has problems. Overall, I still tend to the latter."

"Divine Mind Secret Technique." Ye Ming's eyes flashed. It seemed that Han Lao Mo had been tortured so badly that he even told him these things. So he said solemnly:
"In addition to the splitting headache, do you also have some irrepressible murderous intent from time to time?"

"How do you know!" Han Li stood up in shock.

"It seems that my guess is correct. Junior brother, can you show me the secret technique you practice so that I can further confirm it?" Ye Ming stretched out his hand and gestured for Han Li to sit down.

"This is the secret technique of divine mind, brother, why don't you take it and have a look?" Han Li's face flickered with uncertainty for a few times, and a white light flashed on his hand. He took out a milky white jade token and handed it to Ye Ming.

"Spirit Refining Technique..." After Ye Ming took it, he used his spiritual sense to enter and took a look. The first thing he saw were these three big words.

After a long time, Ye Ming gently put down the jade slip, frowned and pondered in silence.

"Brother, is there any problem?" Han Li became even more nervous upon seeing this.

"Before answering this question, I would like to ask you, how do I treat you on a daily basis?" Ye Ming frowned and said slowly.

"Senior brother, you have helped me many times, even saved my life several times. I will never forget it in my life. If there is anything you need me to do, I will do my best without hesitation!" Han Li said firmly without even thinking.

"Junior brother, you are too polite. I don't need you to do anything. Just remember what you said today." Ye Ming raised his lips, took out a jade slip from the storage bracelet, threw it to Han Li and said:
"You take a look at this first."

Han Li took the jade slip suspiciously, but after just one glance, his eyes widened and he exclaimed:
"Spiritual Refining Technique! Senior Brother, you actually have this secret technique! Then your spiritual thoughts... No, this is not..."

Han Li looked at Ye Ming in disbelief, while his divine sense kept probing him, as if trying to confirm something.

"Haha, junior brother, there is no need to guess too much. Although my spiritual power is not weaker than yours, I have other opportunities and have reached my current level by chance. I have not practiced the art of refining spirits." Ye Ming smiled slightly.

"It turns out that senior brother also has the secret technique of refining the soul, but he can resist the huge temptation of his spiritual power growing exponentially. I am really not as good as him!" Han Li admired sincerely.

"It's nothing. When I got this soul-refining technique, I had already practiced other methods to train my spiritual consciousness. It conflicted with this one, so I couldn't practice it."

"I see. By the way, Senior Brother hasn't told me what's wrong with this secret technique yet."

"Among the relics left by the True Immortal I killed, there is a record about the art of refining the spirit, which does mention some records in this regard."

"Please let me know, senior brother."

“In fact, in the Immortal Realm, the Soul Refining Technique is also the most advanced method for cultivating the soul. In terms of increasing the divine consciousness, no other method can be compared with it.

However, this technique is listed as a forbidden technique in the fairy world, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to practice it. For this reason, special monitoring fairy messengers are set up to patrol the major fairy realms. Once anyone is found practicing the soul-refining technique, regardless of whether they are right or wrong, regardless of the reason, they will be arrested immediately and brought to justice. If they cannot be captured alive, they must be beheaded on the spot as soon as possible! "

"Why, how could this happen?"

“Because of the power of the Soul Refining Art, there were quite a few immortals who practiced this art at the beginning. However, after these immortals practiced the secret art to a high level, almost all of them could not withstand the huge amount of divine thoughts and thus exploded and died.

Later, people discovered that the reason this soul-refining technique had such a terrifying increase in divine consciousness was that it actually overdrew the cultivator's future potential, which led to such serious consequences.

Of course, there are also people who rely on their strong bodies and tenacious willpower, thinking that as long as their cultivation level improves quickly enough, they can force themselves to continue practicing. Although these people will not have their heads blown up, they will eventually lose their minds and become monsters who only know how to kill, killing all living things they see.

Normally, those who can persist to this extent are all very powerful. Once they become killing machines, the harm they cause can be imagined.

Therefore, in order to prevent the inevitable harm, the high-ranking officials of the Immortal Realm will kill all those who practice the Soul Refining Technique. The Soul Refining Technique is also listed as a forbidden technique, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to practice it! "

After hearing this, Han Li looked as if he had lost his parents and was speechless.

Ye Ming sat quietly, waiting for Han Li to digest the bad news.

But after a while, Han Li suddenly thought of something, stared at Ye Ming and asked:

"If I stop practicing this soul-refining technique now, can the aftereffects be cured?"

"Junior brother, you think too simply. If you had just started practicing this soul refining technique, you might have stopped, but as long as you made the slightest progress, it would be absolutely impossible for you to stop. What's more, your spiritual power is so powerful, and you have already shown such serious symptoms, you must have successfully practiced the second level. If you want to stop at this time, hehe, don't even think about it." Ye Ming's words ruthlessly interrupted Han Li's fantasy.

"Brother, please tell me directly what to do now." Han Li took a deep breath and said with an extremely grim expression.

"The essence of this secret technique is to overdraw your future potential. As long as you practice to a higher level before it occurs and possess a stronger spiritual power, you can suppress these sequelae. Therefore, if you want to avoid losing your mind and turning into a killing machine, the only way is to continue practicing this spiritual technique. As long as you succeed in practicing the third level, you can at least be worry-free for tens of thousands of years." Ye Ming said with a grin.

"The third level? Tens of thousands of years...but this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure." Han Li's eyes lit up and then dimmed.

"Brother, don't be nervous. I believe that with your ability, you would have ascended to the Immortal Realm in these tens of thousands of years. And when you reach the Immortal Realm, you will definitely have more options than you have now. At least it is possible to find a fourth-level or higher soul-refining technique."
