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

With fewer thunder balls bombarding him, the silver tadpoles on Ye Ming's body were finally undisturbed and quickly absorbed the power of the remaining thunder balls.

After collecting a wave of thunder balls, Xu Tian Ding did not stop. Under Ye Ming's magic formula, it released a large amount of green hair to collect the thunder balls that were still falling into the cauldron.

In this way, as soon as thunder balls fell from the sky, Ye Ming would drive the Xutian Ding to collect most of them.

The remaining small part was directly resisted by the physical body, and the Xuantian Inscription Technique was used to absorb and refine it.

After another stick of incense, there was a loud rumble in the sky, and no more thunder balls fell. The dark clouds rolled quickly and dissipated at a very fast speed. Within a few breaths, there was no trace of dark clouds, and the sky became cloudless.

Although the strange phenomenon of heavenly tribulation disappeared, the lightning that struck Ye Ming did not disappear immediately, but continued to bombard Ye Ming.

But these residual lightning bolts were like rootless duckweed, their power became weaker and weaker, and were soon completely absorbed by the Silver Tadpole Rune.

At this time, twenty-two silver runes on Ye Ming's body had lit up. This small heavenly tribulation was almost equivalent to his thirty or forty years of hard training.

When the last trace of lightning was refined, Ye Ming stopped practicing his skills, and the rune silver entered his body. Everything around him became quiet again, and only the mess on the top of the mountain told of what had just happened there.

After a moment, Ye Ming stood up, stretched out his hand and waved it. The Xutian Ding shrank rapidly and flew back. He held it in the palm of his hand. He looked inside the Ding and smiled with satisfaction.

The thunder collected here would surely allow him to condense a few silver tadpole runes.

Then he flipped his hand, put away the Xutian Ding, reopened the restriction on the mountain, and flew towards the cave in a flash.

After returning to the cave, Ye Ming immediately entered the secret room, sat cross-legged, and practiced the Xuantian Mingyin technique again.

Then he took out the Xutian Ding and slapped the bottom of the cauldron with one hand. After a muffled bang, a green thunder ball as big as a head emerged from the mouth of the cauldron, and fell on his body, hitting him with a crackling sound.

Silver runes appeared on Ye Ming's body again, absorbing the power of the thunder.

Not long after, the power of the thunder ball was exhausted, and Ye Ming released several more, absorbing and refining them together...

Two hours later, all the blue lightning balls collected in the Xutian Ding had been released and used by Ye Ming to practice the secret technique. At this time, twenty-five silver runes had condensed on his body surface, and his technique was not far from the late stage of the Spiritualization.

After finishing this, Ye Ming came out temporarily, wandered around the cave for a while, and then entered the secret room again to practice.

Two months later, a golden rainbow burst out of the five hundred light curtains and flew towards Tianyuan City at a high speed...

Three months later, the golden rainbow returned to the five-color light curtain again...

In this way, Ye Ming once again entered into a regular time of cultivating immortals.

They go out on patrol twice a year, looking for opportunities to hunt foreign monks, and spend the rest of the time practicing.

The levels of his skills in various techniques such as the Brahma True Demon Art, the Mysterious Heavenly Inscription Art, and the Dayan Jue are steadily improving; his memory levels for formations, talisman making, etc. are also improving day by day.

Time flies like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, another one hundred and twenty years have passed. Now it is the three hundredth year that Ye Ming came to the spiritual world.

On this day, Ye Ming was sitting cross-legged in the secret room, making various hand seals continuously, with golden light flashing alternately on his face, and the shadow of the three-headed and six-armed demon god behind him became clearer.

At a certain moment, Ye Ming groaned, stopped his hand seals, slowly stopped practicing his martial arts, opened his slightly closed eyes, and sighed helplessly.

"Alas, it still doesn't work. It seems that I have encountered the biggest bottleneck in my cultivation. In this case, there is no need to sit here and practice anymore."

At this time, Ye Ming's cultivation had reached the peak of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

What I just did was to break through the bottleneck of refining emptiness, but I failed after trying many times.

Afterwards, Ye Ming packed up and left the cave.

Tianyuan City, Jinting Pavilion.

Zhao Wugui looked at Ye Ming in surprise.

"You mean, you want to resign from your position as the Guardian of Heaven and Earth?"

"Yes, senior. Next I want to look for an opportunity for a breakthrough and not be bound by the mission." Ye Ming answered honestly.

After Zhao Wugui looked Ye Ming up and down carefully, he said, "That's right. With your current level of cultivation, you should indeed prepare for the Void Refining Stage. Okay, I accept your resignation." "Thank you, senior!" As he said that, he returned his Qingming Guard identity jade pendant to him.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wugui did not take the jade pendant, but said calmly: "You can take this thing first, don't rush to hand it in. After all, Qingming Guards don't necessarily have to patrol every year."

"Hmm? Thank you very much, Senior Zhao!" Ye Ming was slightly stunned, then put the jade pendant away. This thing was quite convenient at certain times, and he was naturally happy not to hand it in.

"Besides, with the achievements you have made in patrolling the wilderness for the past three hundred years, no one would say anything even if you were given a hundred or eighty years to rest," Zhao Wugui added.

Ye Ming laughed dryly and said nothing. He had killed countless alien cultivators in the past three hundred years. Especially after he advanced to the middle and late stages, those alien cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage, once they were discovered, none of them could escape his killing.

Later, the number of spies from various tribes outside Tianyuan City decreased significantly, and everyone lamented that the patrol mission had become much easier and safer.

At this time, a monk in golden armor walked in from outside the door.

Ye Ming saw that it was a Tianyuan Guard he didn't recognize, so he said to Zhao Wugui: "Senior, please go ahead. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Yeah." Zhao Wugui glanced at the person who came and nodded lightly.

After Ye Ming left Jinting Pavilion, he went straight to the market town of Tianyuan City.

Not long after, he landed on a street in the middle of the market.

After casually looking at the various buildings on the street, he walked into a luxuriously designed and large medicine store.

After a moment, Ye Ming walked out disappointed.

Then I went into another one, but still didn't get anything.

The third one...

The fourth one...

In the next few days, Ye Ming visited almost all the shops in the market town, looking for elixirs or treasures that could help him break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Unfortunately, treasures of this level were extremely valuable, and no one would sell them. Even if one or two of them occasionally appeared in the market, they would be bought immediately, so there was no chance for him to get one!
It seems that such things can only be purchased at large auctions, trade fairs and other gatherings attended by high-level cultivators. Ye Ming sighed helplessly.

With much disappointment, Ye Ming came to Taixuan Temple in the center of the market town.

"I hope the demon tribe will gain something." Ye Ming glanced at the forbidden light curtain that divided the Taixuan Palace into two parts, and walked towards the door of the palace.

He casually handed over a sum of spirit stones, received the light-blocking pendant, and then walked into the hall in a grand manner.

After passing through a long passage, Ye Ming appeared in a huge hall in the silver glow. The hall was full of people from both the human and demon races who wanted to exchange things.

There were flashes of silver light and black air, and there seemed to be about three or four hundred people.

Dozens of stalls were also set up around the hall.

After Ye Ming glanced around, his eyes stopped near a stone pillar in the hall.

There, a demon wrapped in black air was standing there quietly.

Ye Ming took a deep breath and strode over.

"Fellow Daoist, you are finally here. I have some ideas about what you said last time. I haven't seen you for such a long time, I thought you were no longer needed." Before Ye Ming could walk over, a low chuckle suddenly came from his ears, the sound was pleasant to the ears.

"I came here just to try my luck, but I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Xiao was really here, and also brought the information I needed. I really have to thank Fellow Daoist Xiao. How could I not want this thing?" Ye Ming smiled slightly and also transmitted the message. He had already walked in front of the black gas.

This person was a demon cultivator he met when he was wandering here a few years ago. After several contacts, Ye Ming judged that this woman who called herself Xiao should be from the Black Wind Clan, so he deliberately made friends with her. A few years ago when he was trying to break through the bottleneck of refining emptiness, he asked her to find the Black Flame Pill of the Black Phoenix Clan.

But a few years have passed, and there has been no news. Ye Ming couldn't wait, so he broke through the bottleneck first. Now that he has not advanced, he naturally has to look for more things to help him break through the bottleneck.

The Black Phoenix Clan's unique elixir, the "Black Flame Pill", is the best auxiliary elixir. If you can get a few of them, your chances of advancing will increase significantly. (End of this chapter)
