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

"No need to be so polite!" A majestic voice came into Ye Ming's ears.

When she looked up again, she saw the man in scholar's robes looking at her with sharp eyes.

He quickly lowered his eyelids, not wanting to meet her gaze.

Suddenly, the man in the Confucian robe relaxed his expression and said with a smile, "Ye Ming, right? Very good, you are pretty good! There are not many people among the Divine Transformation cultivators who can deal with my threats so calmly. It seems that there is no need to test you anymore."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior." Ye Ming said modestly.

The man in the Confucian robe nodded slightly, turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Xiao, nephew, go and get busy first. This is your reward."

This person seemed to be familiar with Xiao Yan. After he finished speaking, he shook his wrist, and after a flash of green light, a small emerald green bottle appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

"Thank you, Senior Zhao!"

Xiao Yan took the small bottle with great joy. There would be rewards for leading and recommending ascended monks here, which was one of the reasons why she was so enthusiastic before.

After bowing respectfully again, the woman left the hall.

After Xiao Yan left, the serious expression of the man in the Confucian robe relaxed and became gentle.

"I am Zhao Wugui, also an ascended monk. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me."

"It turns out to be Senior Zhao. I would like to thank you in advance." Ye Ming knew that this was just a polite remark from the other party, but he was still grateful in his heart.

"By the way, which lower world is Fellow Daoist Ye from?"

Ye Ming clasped his fists again: "This... from what you said, the spirit world corresponds to many lower worlds?"

"Of course, there are about a thousand lower realms to which this realm belongs."

"So that's how it is. Actually, I don't know how the spirit world calls the lower world where I am. People in our place call it the human world." Ye Ming understood.

"It's OK if you don't know. Since you have already arrived at Tianyuan City yesterday, I think you know almost everything you need to know, right?"

"Yes, Senior Zhao."

"In that case, you have already made up your mind, right? Are you willing to be a Qingming Guard in Tianyuan City?"

"Junior is willing!"

"Well, wait here for a moment. I'll go to the Presbyterian Church to apply for you."

"Yes, senior!"

After Zhao Wugui finished speaking, his figure flashed, disappeared in the hall, and flew outside.

The ensuing wait went on without any surprises. Half an hour later, Zhao Wugui returned again.

As soon as he sat down, he turned over his palm, and a green jade pendant appeared. He used his magic power to send it to Ye Ming.

"This is your Qingming Guard identity token, take it. Not long ago, the captain of Team A11 was killed by aliens, and several Nascent Soul cultivators in the team were also injured. You can directly take over Team A11. You can recruit the vacancies on your own, and come to me to report when you are ready."

"Yes, senior!"

Ye Ming took the jade pendant and looked at it casually. He saw some silver tadpole characters engraved on one side of the jade pendant, and a few light golden characters such as "甲十一" engraved on the other side.

"Senior, may I ask, are all the members of Qingming Guard recruited by themselves?" Ye Ming had this doubt in his mind. If so, wouldn't it be easy to form some small groups or foster some bad practices?

"That's not the case. Those Black Iron Guards were recruited through special channels and randomly assigned into teams. Which Qingming Guard will lead them is also random. And you have just ascended, and it can be said that you don't have any connections in the spiritual world, so you don't have to worry about all kinds of bad nepotism. In addition, this is also the result of my suggestion to the Elders' Council." Zhao Wugui explained.

"Thank you, Senior Zhao." Ye Ming suddenly realized. In other words, others did not have nepotism, but Zhao Wugui's approach was to build up power for himself. I believe that every new ascended cultivator would be more or less grateful for his kindness.

Zhao Wugui took out a white jade slip from his storage bracelet and handed it to Ye Ming: "In Tianyuan City, every cultivator above the Nascent Soul stage can have his own special cave. However, the quality and size of the cave are up to you. You can go to Yuque Pavilion to ask for specific matters. I have a map of this city here, you can check it carefully. In addition, because you are new to this city, you don't need to take up the post immediately in the first month, but you must take up the post after one month and receive your own Qingming Armor."

Ye Ming thanked this person again.

"Okay, I have explained everything I need to say. You can go back now. Remember to take up your post in a month." Zhao Wugui waved his hand, indicating that Ye Ming could leave.

"Thank you, Senior Zhao. I'll take my leave now!" Ye Ming thanked him again respectfully, then backed away and left the hall.

After leaving the hall, Ye Ming flew slowly in the air, took out the jade slip that Zhao Wugui gave him, and invaded it with his spiritual sense to observe.

"This map is more detailed than the one Xiao Yan gave me yesterday." After a moment, Ye Ming put down the jade slip, pondered for a moment, and flew towards somewhere at an accelerated speed.

This time, not long after, Ye Ming arrived in front of a gray three-story attic. The plaque on the attic door was written with three ancient Chinese characters "Yuque Pavilion" in flying dragons and phoenixes.

This attic doesn't look big, and there's nothing special about it. It looks inconspicuous, but there are many monks coming in and out.

In just a moment, seven or eight monks turned into rays of light and disappeared into the gate.

Ye Ming squinted his eyes and looked at the building for a while, then he slowly walked into the attic.

Entering the first floor, there is a hall of several dozen feet in size. Dozens of monks are standing in the hall, looking at a huge screen with green light hanging at the end of the hall.

On the screen was embroidered a map that was two meters high and more than ten meters long. There were many numbers flashing on it with silver dots. In front of the screen stood a man with a short beard.

When Ye Ming swept his spiritual sense over them, he found that these people were all Nascent Soul cultivators, and only the man with a short beard was a Spiritual Transformation cultivator.

At this time, a woman in colorful clothes in the crowd stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the man with a short beard, and then handed him an iron plate with a black glow and a storage bracelet with both hands.

The short-bearded man glanced at the iron plate casually, then checked the storage bracelet, nodded, then flipped his hand, put the storage bracelet away, and returned the iron plate to the woman in colorful clothes.

The woman was immediately alert, and immediately walked to the screen holding the iron plate with one hand. She gently shook it towards a certain part of the huge map, and suddenly a black line shot out from the iron plate and sank into the silver spot of light with the number "three" on the map.

As a result, the light flashed, and the number instantly changed from "three" to "four".

Then, the woman in colorful clothes stepped back.

In the next moment, seven or eight more people came forward, some taking items, some directly handing spirit stones to the short-bearded man.

Most of the men nodded and asked some people to mark their spots on the map. But one person did not get the short-bearded man's approval and left dejectedly.

After observation, Ye Ming discovered that the map on this huge screen was actually the several spiritual veins under the jurisdiction of Tianyuan City.

On the map, the deeper the green light, the more and larger the numbers are, which should represent a place with better spiritual energy and a place that more people are fighting for.

Just as Ye Ming was carefully observing the map, a clear voice suddenly came from beside him: "Senior, are you also here to choose a suitable spiritual place to build a cave?"

Ye Ming turned his head and saw that it was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old. This girl was dressed as a maid. She had a baby face, was petite and cute, and her cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Can you introduce me to the spiritual place here?" Ye Ming replied calmly.

"Senior, are you a Divine Transformation cultivator?" The girl smiled sweetly. Instead of introducing the spiritual place, she talked about Ye Ming's cultivation.

"How do you know?" Ye Ming glanced at her, feeling somewhat surprised. Could this girl in the Foundation Establishment Stage also accurately sense his cultivation level?
"Senior, there is no need to be surprised. Although my cultivation is low, I am wearing a special spiritual pressure plate. As long as you are not deliberately concealing your aura, you will be able to see it a little." The young girl raised her hand, and a palm-sized magic plate appeared in her palm, with silver runes flashing on it, which was somewhat similar to the one Xiao Yan showed him.

"I see!" Ye Ming nodded, and couldn't help but complain in his heart, is this thing everywhere? How come everyone has one?

The maid smiled sweetly again and said, "Senior, please follow me to the second floor. The first floor shows the spiritual land that the Black Iron Guards can rent. Senior Huashen's spiritual land rental is on the second floor."

"Well, let's go!" Ye Ming was embarrassed. He looked for a long time and found out that this was the sacred place of Nascent Soul cultivators. No wonder he didn't find the place he remembered.
