Chapter 554: The Demon Territory
When Xiaoyun saw that Ye Ming agreed to her conditions, the corners of her mouth curled up and she smiled.

"Very good! I still need to make some preparations for this matter. Go back and wait for my news. I will contact you in a month."

A month is not too long. After a brief thought, Ye Ming did not raise any objections. But his eyes flashed and he looked directly at the demon woman in front of him:

"Senior Xiao, I also have a small request, I hope you can fulfill it."

Xiao Yun's cold eyes fixed, and she said calmly, "You tell me first."

"I hope to trade one Black Flame Pill first, and the remaining three will be traded after I help you kill the ancient beast. The transaction must be completed immediately without any delay. How do you think?" Ye Ming wanted to get some benefits first.

Xiaoyun didn't hesitate for long before she smiled and said, "No problem."

Without her making any movement, a small silver bottle with a black fire phoenix engraved on it suddenly appeared in her jade hand.

There is also a golden forbidden talisman affixed to it, looking extremely cautious.

When Ye Ming saw this, he was naturally shocked.

Sure enough, he then heard the words he had been expecting: "The contents of this bottle are the Black Flame Pills. I can show them to you first, so that you don't think I am bullying you."

After Xiaoyun said this, she threw the silver bottle over.

Ye Ming grabbed the small bottle, looked at it for a few seconds, tore off the talisman, and twisted the lid open.

With a "puff" sound, before he could see clearly what was in the bottle, a black pill the size of a thumb shot out. After circling, it suddenly turned into a small black fire phoenix, trying to fly out of the hall.

"what!"

Ye Ming let out a cry of surprise, but immediately raised his hand and grabbed into the air. Suddenly, a golden hand flew out and grabbed the little phoenix in his palm.

The black phoenix spun a few times in the golden light, and then with a flash of light it turned back into a black pill.

The light flashed back from his hand, and the pill appeared obediently in Ye Ming's palm.

He stretched out two fingers to pick up the pill, and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.

This elixir can actually transform and fly, which is really rare. Amidst the strong medicinal fragrance, there seems to be some strange aura.

"Is this the Black Flame Pill?" After sensing it carefully, Ye Ming suddenly looked at the beautiful woman on the stage with burning eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun's eyes turned and she understood Ye Ming's concerns, so she smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, there is no need to be suspicious. This is indeed the Black Flame Pill. I have used my own life flame to refine this pill for more than a thousand years. It is normal for it to be stained with my aura."

"Really?" Ye Ming looked at the other party suspiciously for a few times, but he couldn't see any flaws, so he had to believe what the woman said for the time being.

Then he checked the pill carefully again and confirmed that there was no problem. Ye Ming suppressed his excitement, put the pill back into the silver bottle, and re-protected it with the talisman.

Then he said solemnly, "Senior, what do you want to exchange? Spirit stones, spiritual treasures, talismans, or something else? As long as I have it, I can definitely trade it."

However, the woman did not make an offer, but changed the subject and said, "There is one thing that I need to let Fellow Daoist Ye know. Although they are all Black Flame Pills, the quality and effect of the pills made by different clansmen are different because of the different qualities and powers of their natal flames. And this one of mine can definitely be called a top-grade Black Flame Pill. Just this one can increase the chance of breaking through the bottleneck by at least 15%."

"Senior, just be frank." Ye Ming knew that the other party was going to raise the price. No matter whether what he said was true or false, he had to get it first.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Ye is straightforward. In this case, you only need to give me a powerful spiritual treasure, twenty to thirty top-grade spiritual stones, and materials..." Xiaoyun slowly named three or four things.

Ye Ming's face darkened: "Senior, don't you think it's a bit too much?"

This is the rhythm that you set for yourself!

"Haha, compared with breaking through the realm of refining emptiness, a few material possessions are nothing. If one's cultivation can be further improved, I wonder how many cultivators are willing to spend all their fortunes to strive for it." Xiao Yun said indifferently.

Ye Ming was silent for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, "But, this is too much. So, I am willing to give you a spiritual treasure, a top-grade spiritual stone..."

……

After some bargaining, Ye Ming traded the Black Flame Pill for a high-level spiritual treasure and more than ten pieces of top-grade spiritual stones. After the transaction was completed, Ye Ming bowed to the woman and said, "Thank you very much, senior. I hope you can bring the remaining three Black Flame Pills when we meet next time."

"You're indispensable. You go back and wait for news." Xiaoyun waved her hand.

Seeing this, Ye Ming tactfully said goodbye and left.

……

Tianmu City is a small city in the territory of the Black Phoenix Demon King, close to the Tianyuan Realm of the human race in the east.

Three thousand miles west of this city, there is a small mountain range called Jiangjun Mountain, which is named after the shape of its highest peak.

From a distance, this peak looks like a general wearing armor and a helmet, which is very recognizable.

One day two months later, Ye Ming came to Jiangjun Mountain according to the map provided by Xiaoyun.

"This is the place!" The light transformed by Ye Ming was at the top of the mountain, and after circling, his figure appeared.

After looking at the general-shaped mountain for a few seconds, his body fell down and landed on a bare rock on the top of the mountain.

Then he sat cross-legged and waited.

An hour later, Ye Ming suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look to the side.

I saw a thick blue rainbow shooting out from there at a high speed, quickly crossing the sky and arriving above the mountain.

The light faded, revealing a young man in white, who looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with soft facial lines. He looked more like a female cultivator. If you didn't look closely at his Adam's apple, it would be hard to tell that he was a man.

"Fellow Daoist, are you here to meet someone too?" Ye Ming asked calmly. This person's cultivation level was in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, which was consistent with what Xiao Yun had said before. Moreover, the one who came here at this time should be one of the other two "helpers".

Unexpectedly, the young man flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Humph, fellow Taoist, don't you think it's rude to stare at others like this?"

The voice sounds a little shrill, more neutral and feminine.

When Ye Ming heard this, the slight smile on his face disappeared. He closed his eyes, meditated again, and ignored the man.

"You..." A cold light flashed in the eyes of the young man in white, and he wanted to teach Ye Ming a lesson, but Ye Ming's cultivation level was beyond his comprehension, which made him feel hesitant.

After a cold snort, the man found a place to sit down and also meditated to rest.

Not long after, a white light appeared in the sky. When it reached the top of the mountain, the light faded and a young girl in a green dress appeared.

This girl looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, pretty and cute, but her cultivation has reached the peak of the late stage of Spirit Transformation, and she is only one step away from the Void Refinement Stage.

As soon as the girl appeared, she giggled: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Ran Bing, you good-looking but useless guy! What are you doing here?"

"Riven, watch your mouth. Don't think I'm afraid of you." The young man in white became furious when he heard this.

"Come on then, hehe, I'll beat you up!" The pretty girl raised her little fist, looking eager to try, as if she really wanted the young man to hit her.

"Hmph, just wait for me! I have something important to do right now, so I won't bother with you!" The young man in white said these tough words, but he didn't dare to make any movements. It seemed that he was really afraid of this woman.

"Tsk, boring!" The girl curled her lips, rolled her eyes, and landed on the boulder where Ye Ming was.

After walking around Ye Ming for a few times and looking him up and down, the woman changed her previous style and bowed to Ye Ming politely, saying, "I am Rui Wen from the Black Phoenix Clan. Nice to meet you, fellow Taoist. May I ask what your name is?"

Ye Ming slowly opened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him strangely. Judging from her conversation with the young man in white just now, she was a willful person. How come she suddenly became so polite?

This question only flashed through his mind, and Ye Ming said politely: "My name is Ye Ming, nice to meet Fairy Rui."
