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

After a flash of white light, Ye Ming appeared in a compartment several meters wide. The compartment had walls on three sides and the other side was empty. Under his feet was a teleportation array that was exactly the same as the one on the first floor.

Ye Ming walked down the teleportation array and out of the compartment, then he saw a long corridor. He was at the end of the corridor at this time.

Walking along the corridor to the middle part, I saw a spacious hall, which was decorated quite elegantly. In the middle there was a black altar with a bronze incense burner on it. Three incense sticks were burning and emitting wisps of green smoke.

About thirty or forty feet in front of the altar, three yellow cushions were placed side by side, and a woman in silver clothes was sitting cross-legged on the middle cushion.

The woman looked to be about twenty years old, with a cherry mouth, a pair of watery peach eyes, and snow-white skin, but her ears were pointed. She was actually a demon girl.

"Junior Ye Ming, I am here to greet you, senior!"

Ye Ming strode into the hall, took a few quick steps forward, and bowed respectfully to Yinshan.

"Get up, no need to be so polite!" The woman in silver shirt smiled slightly.

The Council of Elders has a rotation system. Regardless of whether they are human or demon, each person takes turns to serve for ten years and is responsible for handling major affairs in the city during their rotation. If they encounter a difficult decision, they will discuss and decide together.

The woman in silver shirt in front of him was an early stage fusion demon cultivator from the Silver Moon Wolf Clan. It was her turn to be on duty this round, so the one Ye Ming saw was this woman.

"Thank you, senior!" Ye Ming stood up and looked at the other party calmly.

"According to your human surnames, my last name is Lan, you can call me Senior Lan!"

"Hello, Senior Lan!" Ye Ming bowed again.

The silver-shirted woman looked at Ye Ming with a gentle expression and said slowly, "Are you Ye Ming? I heard from them that there is a Qingming Guard named "Ye Ming" who has performed well in recent years. They are talking about you, right?"

"I think I'm the only one called Ye Ming in Qingming Guard." Ye Ming was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that he had already attracted the attention of the big guys in the fusion stage without knowing it.

"I heard that you are an ascended monk." The woman in silver shirt nodded.

"That's right!"

"Moreover, when you ascended, you were only at the initial stage of the Spiritualization stage!"

"Yes!"

……

After a series of questions, the silver-shirted woman suddenly said, "You must have sneaked up from the lower world!"

“……”Ye Ming didn’t know how to answer this question.

"It's okay, I'm just asking casually." The woman in silver shirt suddenly smiled, and she was as beautiful as a blooming flower.

But immediately the woman's smile faded, and she looked at Ye Ming with burning eyes:

"So, it only took you four hundred years to cultivate from the early stage of the Spiritualization to the early stage of the Void Refining. You are truly a rare genius in cultivation!"

"Thank you for the compliment, senior. It was just luck." Ye Ming said modestly.

"Luck is also a form of strength. Those who can advance to the fusion and great perfection stages all succeeded by luck."

After hearing this, Ye Ming smiled and did not respond.

The silver-shirted woman also looked serious and said solemnly, "Since you have already advanced to the Void Refining Stage, if you still want to practice in this city, you now have several choices. One is to serve as a Tianyuan Guard and contribute to the security and management of this city. In this way, you can receive a considerable salary and have many conveniences in all aspects of your practice.

Second, you can continue to stay in Tianyuan City. You don’t need to do anything at normal times. You just need to help the city when there is a crisis or major incident. In this way, you will not get any extra compensation.

In addition, you can choose not to join this city, but you need to hand over a certain amount of property and rent the spiritual land of this city for cultivation. Of course, the rent is not cheap. "

After listening to this, Ye Ming said without thinking: "Junior chooses the second option."

"What? Don't you want to serve as a Tianyuan Guard? Judging from your performance as a Qingming Guard, you will definitely have many opportunities to make meritorious contributions as a Tianyuan Guard. The Elder Council should have a lot of rewards for you at that time." The silver-shirted woman said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming showed an embarrassment on his face: "Well, Senior Lan, I plan to go to the wilderness to explore, I am afraid I can't serve as a Tianyuan Guard for the time being."

"You're going to the wilderness?" The silver-shirted woman was a little surprised, and looked Ye Ming up and down. "Aren't you going to wait until your cultivation is a little better before going there to gain experience? There are countless rumors about the wilderness, but it is full of dangers, and you may die at any time. This is what every rumor mentions."

"The spirit world is so vast, I want to go and see it. Since I ascended, I have been wandering around in this small area. After a long time, I feel that my horizons have been limited."

The silver-shirted woman looked at Ye Ming's serious expression and suddenly chuckled: "Okay, then follow your heart and go out for a walk!"

After saying this, he closed his eyes and seemed to have no intention of speaking anymore.

"I won't bother you any more, bye!" Seeing this, Ye Ming left tactfully.

After Ye Ming's figure disappeared, Yinshan slowly opened his eyes.

"What a strong physical cultivation, what an interesting little fellow..."

……

Six or seven races including humans, demons, shadows and wood are located in the northwest corner of Fengyuan Continent, but they only occupy a small area.

The vast area outside this region is called the Wilderness by several races.

A wild land that has never been developed by humans due to various powerful creatures or natural dangers.

Here, there are mountains, ravines, primeval forests with lush vegetation; there are also barren deserts with flying sand and rocks and yellow wind; long rivers, deep lakes... and so on. Almost all imaginable terrain can be found here.

Countless natural treasures attracted batches of cultivators to enter the wilderness. Some people had adventures here and made great progress in their cultivation. There were even cases where people advanced to a higher realm overnight.

Of course, along with all the adventures, there are also dangers. Many people never come back after entering the wilderness.

Ye Ming stood on a cliff that towered into the clouds, overlooking the wild world below. He took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the majestic spiritual energy around him, and his heart was full of anticipation.

After observing silently for a while, he moved his body and turned into a stream of light, rushing into the wilderness.

He was agile and swift, shuttling between the precipitous mountains and rivers like a spirit ape, crossing the bottomless canyons and over the steep cliffs, just to find those powerful ancient beasts above the Void Refining Stage.

Soon, Ye Ming went deep into the wilderness millions of miles away.

When we got here, the signs of monks' activities obviously decreased, and the number of powerful creatures around began to increase.

After some searching, Ye Ming found traces of an ancient beast in a dead and life mountain.

This beast was called "Iron Rock Giant Rhino", and its cultivation was at the initial stage of Refining Void. Its body was as huge as a mountain, and its skin was as hard as iron. Its eyes flashed with fierce light, and it spewed hot flames from its mouth, which made people afraid.

Ye Ming smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with coldness, and he rushed towards the Iron Rock Giant Rhino. He clenched his hands into fists and punched out, bringing up a gust of wind.

However, the Iron Rock Rhinoceros was not afraid at all. It let out a roar, and rushed forward with its huge body, using its iron-hard horn to meet Ye Ming's fist.

The result was no surprise. Although the Iron Rock Giant Rhino looked huge, it was only in the early stage of refining emptiness after all.

With a loud bang, the huge body of the Iron Rock Giant Rhino was blown away by Ye Ming's punch. It let out a shrill scream, and a large amount of blood spilled into the sky. The horn was directly broken off by the amazing force.

Ye Ming flashed and chased after it, punching out with both hands several times in succession, and in a few hits the Iron Rock Giant Rhino was completely silenced.

“Haha, after the cultivation level is improved, it is directly crushing the ancient beast in the early stage of refining emptiness.”

Ye Ming retracted his fist, blew a breath, looked at the twenty Essence Refining Pills that appeared out of thin air in the package space, and smiled slightly.

Afterwards, he dismembered the ancient beast and collected useful materials such as its inner elixir and horn.

He will have a great demand for top-grade spirit stones in the future. These things can be exchanged for a lot of spirit stones, so they cannot be given up easily.

After doing all this, Ye Ming moved and set out to pursue his next goal.
