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

Seeing the other party's contemptuous attitude, Ye Ming was not angry, but said calmly: "Senior, you didn't even tell me the conditions, how do you know that I can't afford it?"

"Hmph, you arrogant boy!" The skinny middle-aged man laughed in his heart, and the pair of silver wings behind him flapped suddenly towards Ye Ming through the air.

After a muffled sound, an invisible force suddenly rushed towards Ye Ming, and even the air nearby began to vibrate.

Ye Ming's face was calm, and he did not make any evasive movements. White wings appeared behind him and also shook lightly.

"Boom" a thick silver phone shot out and hit him hard in front of him, splitting the huge force pushed by the middle-aged man into two halves and sliding past Ye Ming on both sides.

With a loud rumbling sound, a violent airflow rushed to both sides.

"Huh?" The fish shop owner exclaimed in surprise, then raised his hand and waved it. The forbidden light in the house flashed, blocking the aftermath of the impact so that it did not affect the items displayed in the store. Otherwise, it would have been a mess.

Then the skinny middle-aged man became furious, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Just when he was about to make another test.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man and woman walked in from outside the light curtain. Judging from their intimate appearance, they should be a couple. One of them was in the early stage of refining emptiness, and the other was in the middle stage of refining emptiness.

"Uh, Brother Yu, we didn't disturb you, did we?" The man smiled awkwardly after seeing the situation inside the store.

The fish shop owner snorted at Ye Ming, and then said to the two people who just came in:

"Friend Bai, what brings you two here for?"

"Brother Yu, I saw you have purple fairy wood for sale downstairs, is that true?" The man surnamed Bai perked up and looked at the fish shop owner hopefully.

The latter nodded.

"Great, what would you like to exchange for this, Fellow Daoist Yu?"

"If you can take out the Spirit Absorbing Stone, I will give you this Purple Fairy Wood."

“This… this thing can only exist in the depths of the earth. Not to mention cultivators like me and my wife, even the elders in the clan don’t dare to enter so deep easily.” The charming woman said with a wry smile.

"In that case, please go back!"

"Brother Yu, can you please make some adjustments so that we can..."

In this way, the three of them ignored Ye Ming's presence and started bargaining. Of course, it was the couple who begged the fish shop owner to exchange it with something else, but the latter never gave in.

Finally, the fish shop owner became impatient and his voice gradually turned cold: "Well, if you don't find the spirit-absorbing stone, Purple Fairy Wood, don't dream about it! As for the high-level spirit stones, do you think I need these things?"

The couple naturally looked very unhappy when they heard what the shopkeeper said. But there was nothing they could do, so they could only leave helplessly.

"Boy, what are you waiting for here?" The owner said to Ye Ming rudely as soon as the couple walked out of the door.

"Senior hasn't told us the conditions for exchanging the Qingluo Fruit yet." Ye Ming looked unusually calm.

"Since you are so confident, and I don't have any customers now, it's okay for me to tell you. I'm sure you know how rare the Qingluo fruit is, so I won't say much. If you want this fruit, I'll give you two choices. As long as you meet any one of them, I can give you the Qingluo fruit." The fish shop owner pondered for a moment, then changed the subject with a relaxed expression.

"Two choices? Please tell me, senior." Ye Ming was delighted when he heard the other party's words. "First of all, if you can take out the rumored Netherworld Lotus or Dark Blood Crystal, I will give you this Qingluo Fruit immediately." The fish shop owner said leisurely.

"These two spiritual objects are simply rumors. There is no way that I, a junior, can produce them." Ye Ming shook his head repeatedly.

"Hehe, it's just a rumor." The fish shop owner sneered, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"Just now, you displayed some lightning powers. Before talking about the second condition, I need to confirm to what extent you have mastered the power of lightning." The fish shop owner said lightly.

"The power of thunder and lightning?" Ye Ming showed a hint of surprise. But he was delighted in his heart. He had just deliberately exposed his power of thunder and lightning to attract the attention of the fish shop owner.

He came to the fish shop owner not for the Qingluo Fruit. Although this fruit was extremely rare and had incredible effects, after refining it into Qingluo Pill and taking it together with other rare pills, it could immediately increase the efficacy of other pills by 30% to 50%.

But if there is only one Qingluo fruit, the medicinal effect is not 100% effective. As for cultivating it into a fruit tree, it takes five or six thousand years for one fruit to mature. So without the Zhantian Bottle in hand, the effect of getting the Qingluo fruit is limited.

Ye Ming's real purpose in looking for the fish shop owner was for the fish shop owner himself! This person's body contains extremely rich five-color peacock blood, which can be said to be the direct bloodline of this true spirit.

Moreover, he has already cultivated to the late stage of refining emptiness, so the purity of his true blood must be extremely astonishing!
The five-colored peacock is a true spirit among the twelve changes of Jingzhe. As long as he gets the true blood in this person's body and refines it, Ye Ming's strength will increase by one third immediately! How could he let go of such a thing that can increase strength so quickly?

So, after hearing what the fish shop owner said, Ye Ming just fluttered his wings lightly.

There was a loud rumbling sound of thunder, and countless silver arcs of electricity suddenly appeared on the wings. Then, they intertwined and shuttled back and forth, and all the arcs condensed and shrank. In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen lightning javelins appeared around Ye Ming.

Each of the five or six feet long, as thick as a baby's arm, crackled with electric arcs that expanded and contracted unsteadily. However, the terrifying power contained in these lightning spears made the fish shop owner's pupils shrink, revealing a bit of surprise.

"Yes, you are quite proficient in the power of thunder and lightning. In that case, let me tell you the second condition. It's actually very simple. You just need to help me subdue a spirit beast with thunder attribute, and I can exchange the Qingluo Fruit with you." The fish shop owner showed a look of satisfaction.

"Subdue a spirit beast? Since even a senior of your level of cultivation cannot subdue a spirit beast, it must not be that easy! Can you tell me what kind of spirit beast it is?" Ye Ming's eyes flashed and his brows frowned.

“I have captured this beast. There will be basically no danger to its life when you tame it. You just need to be careful and not be backfired by its lightning power. As for what kind of spirit beast it is, I cannot tell you for the time being. If you really decide to help me, I will take you to see this beast, and you will know it at a glance then.” The fish shop owner’s eyes flashed with cunning.

Ye Ming pondered for a long time before he asked again:

"Senior, are you sure that you only need me to assist you and not me as the main person? You know, the degree of danger of the two is completely different."

“You can rest assured about this. You just need to assist me and make it surrender and accept my ceremony of recognizing its master.” The fish shop owner said without hesitation.

"Okay, in that case, I'm willing to give it a try." Seeing that it was almost done, Ye Ming agreed immediately.

"Very good! I still need to prepare for this matter. Come back here to see me in three days." The fish shop owner said with a smile.

"No problem. I will be here on time in three days. I'll take my leave now." Ye Ming didn't say much. After bowing slightly, he said goodbye and left.

Looking at Ye Ming's disappearing back, the fish shop owner raised his hand and touched the goatee on his chin, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
