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

With a flash of golden light, the Jinting Boat that Ye Ming was riding appeared on the teleportation array of the teleportation tower.

After stepping off the teleportation array, Ye Ming politely thanked the Tianyuan Guards who had brought them back: "Thank you, Senior Bu and Senior Wang, for coming here in person to pick us up."

These two Tianyuan Guards, one is in the middle stage of Lianxu, and the other is in the early stage. The one with the middle stage cultivation level is named Bu, and she is a middle-aged woman with a beautiful face.

At this time, she smiled and said to Ye Ming: "It is my duty, Fellow Daoist Ye, you don't have to be polite! You are a different ascended cultivator. In just a few decades, you have advanced to the first level. You will have great potential in the future. I am optimistic about you!"

"Haha, it's just luck. Thank you for the compliment, Senior Bu. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now." Ye Ming smiled modestly.

"Go!" The middle-aged woman waved her hand and said nothing more.

Over the years, Ye Ming has met many Void-Refining cultivators. After learning that he is an Ascended cultivator, these people have different attitudes.

All the ascended cultivators who advanced to the Refining Void stage were generally quite polite to him, and would occasionally take care of him. But it was different for the native Refining Void cultivators, who often looked at him coldly, as if they were keeping him at a distance, and sometimes even tripped him up from time to time, which annoyed him greatly.

This woman was so polite to him, she was considered to be quite polite among the local monks.

Ye Ming couldn't help but think to himself, am I so popular with women? It seems that I am destined to have an affair!

After sighing inwardly, Ye Ming walked out of the hall with his ten men.

Now, his subordinates have become ten Black Iron Guards. A few years ago, Shi Shi and Wei Shan left the team one after another and went back to impact the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

As a result, he only had five men left under his command. Ye Ming thought this was really unacceptable, so he recruited five new people, and these five were all female cultivators with fair skin, beautiful looks and graceful figures.

He certainly didn't do this for the other party's beauty, he just wanted to please his eyes. Think about it, each patrol mission lasts for two or three months, and looking at a few beauties every day is more relaxing than looking at a group of men.

Walking on the curved walled passage of the giant tower, Ye Ming turned his head and told several of his men behind him: "Okay, go back and rest, and gather here in half a year."

"Okay, Senior Ye!" Jiang Han and the others bowed and responded. This woman's cultivation has improved a lot. It will not take long for her to cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Listening to the six clear and pleasant voices, Ye Ming couldn't help but secretly praise himself for being wise to get these female cultivators.

At this moment, they happened to pass by the door of a hall, and a woman in green armor walked out from inside. There was an indescribable charm on her beautiful face. Wasn't this Xiao Yan!
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, we meet again." Ye Ming greeted him warmly.

Xiao Yan suddenly saw Ye Ming again, and she was delighted. She smiled and said, "Hey! It's Fellow Daoist Ye. Are you back from a mission?"

"Yeah, that's right! I just got back today."

Before he finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Xiao Yan: "Junior Brother Ye, it's you!"

Ye Ming looked back over Xiao Yan's shoulder and saw an old man with white hair and a round face, looking at him in disbelief with his mouth wide open.

"Senior Brother Xiang, you are still alive!" Ye Ming was also surprised.

This old man is Xiang Zhili!

"Of course I'm still alive. Do you want me to die?" Xiang Zhili was quite surprised at first, but when he heard what Ye Ming said, he immediately puffed his beard and glared.

"Uh, you... know each other." Xiao Yan was stunned when she saw the two of them like this.

Ye Ming nodded.

"You are all ascended monks, and you all come from the same lower realm?" Xiao Yan said in disbelief.

Being caught on the spot, Ye Ming couldn't deny it even if he wanted to, so he could only nod and say, "That's right, but we were both first approached by you, Daoist Fellow Xiao. I have to say, it's really fate!"

"Hehe, who said it wasn't!" The woman quickly suppressed the shock in her heart and said with a smile.

Then she continued, "Since you two know each other, I have something else to do, so you can take fellow Daoist Xiang to Feiling Palace."

This woman was also a thoughtful person. She knew that Ye Ming and Xiang Zhili, two acquaintances, must have something to discuss, so she tactfully said goodbye.

"Okay, if Fellow Daoist Xiao is free, let's go to Tianguang Hall together in three days to listen to Elder Lei Luo's sermon." Ye Ming nodded slightly and extended an invitation to the other party.

Three days later would be the day when the combined elders would give a sermon once every ten years. Ye Ming would not miss this opportunity.

"Yeah, no problem!" Xiao Yan suddenly smiled like a flower. After looking at Ye Ming with her charming eyes, she turned and walked back into the hall.

Uh, this look... is it true that I am destined to be in love?
"Captain, we'll be leaving first." Several subordinates who followed Ye Ming and had not left yet, saw the scene before them, suppressed their surprise, and said goodbye to Ye Ming one after another.

Ye Ming nodded, and after everyone left, he looked Xiang Zhili up and down. "Tsk tsk, Senior Brother Xiang, you are really lucky. You can survive even after being swallowed by the space crack. I admire you."

"I admire you for nothing." He felt very depressed when Xiang Zhili was mentioned.

"You just arrived at Tianyuan City today?"

"Correct!"

"Let's go. I'll take you to Feiling Palace to find a temporary place to stay, and then I'll take you to meet a senior." Ye Ming greeted.

"Thank you so much, junior brother!"

Then the two of them walked down the passage.

On the way, Xiang Zhili swept his spiritual sense over Ye Ming and finally discovered Ye Ming's unusual cultivation aura. Then he widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Huh? Your cultivation... has advanced to the middle stage so quickly?"

"Hey, that's nothing. Aren't you already at the peak of the early stage? In a few years, it will be easy to enter the middle or even late stage." Ye Ming said nonchalantly as he walked.

"It's easy. You think everyone is like you. You're just a freak. Not only is improving your cultivation as easy as eating and drinking, but your strength is also ridiculously strong. I'm really jealous." Xiang Zhili curled his lips.

"Brother, there are plenty of resources for cultivating immortals in Tianyuan City. As long as you have a little luck, it is not difficult to achieve these." Ye Ming comforted him.

"Luck is bullshit, I feel like all my luck in this life has run out..."

Perhaps it was because he met an old friend in a foreign land, Xiang Zhili never stopped talking, chattering and asking Ye Ming questions about this and that.

Ye Ming answered a few words at first, but then he simply kept silent.

When he arrived at Feiling Palace, Ye Ming found the manager and asked for a small cave directly.

When Ye Ming brought Xiang Zhili into the cave, Xiang Zhili couldn't help but ask, "Junior brother, are you famous here? I see they are either polite or hostile to you."

Along the way, the old man saw many people greeting Ye Ming enthusiastically, while some others snorted coldly when they saw him.

Moreover, when Ye Ming went to ask the manager for the cave, he just said a simple sentence and did not go through any procedures, but the manager actually gave it to him. So he was quite curious.

"I'm not famous at all. I just have good relationships with people and have many friends." Ye Ming said casually.

During the eighty years that Ye Ming had been a Qingming Guardian, he had killed at least 170 or 180 foreign cultivators, if not 200. At least half of them were unknown to others, but the other half that had been spread out was enough to make him famous.

Therefore, those who served in this area, whether they were Qingming Guards or Tianyuan Guards, knew Ye Ming to some extent. Even if they had never seen Ye Ming in person, they had heard of his terrifying record. The disagreement between the local cultivators and the ascended cultivators caused everything Xiang Zhili saw.

The ascended monks praised him highly, but the local monks were very unhappy with him. The manager was the descendant of an ascended monk.

"I don't trust you at all! Why make friends when no one knows you?" Xiang Zhili thought to himself.

After the two of them sat down, Ye Ming took out the best spiritual tea and spiritual fruit and placed them on the table for Xiang Zhili. Then he asked the question he was concerned about:

"Brother, where did you go after you were swallowed by the space crack? Why did you come to Tianyuan City only now? And... where is Fellow Daoist Feng now?"

Xiang Zhili heard this, took a bite of the sweet spiritual fruit, and sighed: "This is a long story, so I will just briefly tell you. Back then, my Nascent Soul and Brother Feng's were devoured together, and Brother Feng died on the spot. But I was seriously injured and appeared in a deserted desert. It took more than ten years for me to recover from my injuries.

Later, when I went to look for monks or towns in the spiritual world, I found that I had been teleported to the territory of the demon clan.

Some of the demon cultivators I met were not friendly to human cultivators, and it was impossible to cultivate there. After going through various difficulties and several years, I finally returned to the gathering place of the human race. I randomly chose a medium-sized city and began to cultivate there. "

"It's okay. Your tortuous experience may be an asset to your future life." Ye Ming joked.

Xiang Zhili shook his head and continued, "I originally planned to cultivate there until the middle and late stages of the Spiritualization Stage, and then go out to gain experience and look for opportunities for breakthroughs. But not long ago, I suddenly learned that our ascended monks actually carry some aura from another world. If we don't eliminate it, we are very likely to die in the first minor heavenly tribulation.

I was so surprised that I didn't care about anything else, so I rushed to Tianyuan City without stopping. I didn't expect to meet you, my lucky fellow, as soon as I arrived in Tianyuan City. "

This unlucky child, Ye Ming suppressed his laughter and comforted Xiang Zhili: "Haha, no matter what, you rushed to Tianyuan City, otherwise you would definitely not be able to withstand the two-color thunder tribulation."

Then I introduced to him what the two-colored thunder tribulation was and its origin.
