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

On the third floor of the abyss, in a hidden space shrouded in thick darkness, there is a large complex of buildings.

Ye Ming followed Mu Qing and landed in front of the tallest wooden hall in the building complex.

"This is my secluded place. Please come in, Fellow Daoist Ye."

Mu Qing turned around and said something, then walked in a few steps.

After Ye Ming glanced at the monsters on both sides of the hall, a strange look appeared on his face.

The monsters guarding the palace gate were actually several short ape-like monsters. Each of them had a huge light black spiritual flower under its body, with its roots firmly inserted into the soil outside the palace gate.

Without any further delay, Ye Ming leisurely walked into the palace gate under the watchful gazes of those demon apes.

The hall was empty, with only two rows of wooden chairs on both sides.

At this time, Mu Qing had walked to a giant golden flower in the middle of the hall and sat down cross-legged steadily.

There was no one else in the entire hall except this woman.

"Someone, come and serve tea to the distinguished guest!" Mu Qing motioned Ye Ming to sit on a nearby wooden chair and clapped his hands twice.

After a moment, a pretty maid in green came out from nowhere, holding a wooden tray with two white teacups on it.

The maid handed one of the cups to Ye Ming and the other to Mu Qing.

Ye Ming looked at the tea in his hand and the corner of his mouth twitched. What does this have to do with tea?
I saw that in the jade-white teacup, there was actually half a cup of ink-black liquid, which emitted a faint fishy smell.

Not to mention drinking this thing, even smelling it up close will make you feel addicted.

With his knowledge, he could immediately see that the tea contained a lot of strange poisonous substances, dozens of them, including many that would kill ordinary people instantly if they touched it.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. This cup of Yinsha Tea is made by me using eighty-one kinds of strange poisons. Even though there are many strange poisons among them, all the poisons are cleverly counteracted by each other, making them harmless. If you drink it regularly, it can slightly enhance our spiritual awareness." As if seeing Ye Ming's hesitation, Mu Qing smiled indifferently, lowered his head and took a sip of this so-called "Yinsha Tea"!
Ye Ming's expression changed. He lowered his head and took a closer look at the tea in his hand. After a slight hesitation, he took a sip.

He had full confidence in his own body, and even if it was truly poisonous, he had the ability to refine it.

Moreover, according to my foresight, this woman still needs my help, and she probably won't do anything too big, at most she will just use some means of restraint. If that's the case, then I have nothing to fear!
The unpleasant-smelling tea tasted bitter at first, but when it went down my throat, it turned into a hot stream that spread all over my body's meridians. At the same time, my mind felt cold, and my mind became clearer. It really was affecting my consciousness.

His divine sense quickly searched his body and found nothing wrong. Ye Ming put the teacup on the table beside him and said calmly:

"Thank you for your hospitality, senior. Let's get down to business. What exactly is the cooperation you mentioned earlier?"

"Haha, it seems that fellow Daoist is really impatient. If I keep it secret, I'm afraid fellow Daoist will feel resentful." Mu Qing smiled and said:
"I'll tell you the truth, I need you to help me get a treasure from a certain place, but it's not easy to get into this place, so I need special means to do it."

"Could it be related to my spirit beast?"

"Yes, the entrance to that place is blocked by pure demonic energy, and ordinary means have little effect on this demonic energy. However, Daoist friend's Binghuo Yanglei and the lightning and thunder magical power possessed by your spirit beast are very likely to break through this demonic energy."

"Senior, you only said that it is possible. Whether it can really work is still unknown. The lightning power of me and the spirit beast is not like the evil-repelling divine thunder. It has the effect of restraining evil spirits. It just has a simple destructive power. And with the senior's cultivation strength, there are definitely many means with more powerful destructive power than this. No matter what, it is not necessary for me to take action, right?" Ye Ming looked disapproving.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, your Binghuo Yanglei is known as the Supreme Fire God Thunder, but do you feel that when you use it, its power seems to be a little unworthy of its reputation?" In response to Ye Ming's doubts, Mu Qing did not rush to explain, but asked in this way. "Isn't it so? I have also obtained some methods to cultivate the power of thunder and lightning, and have already condensed this thunder." Ye Ming was stunned.

“Haha, the technique of condensing thunder and lightning that you have mastered is definitely just the basics. The truly powerful technique of controlling thunder can increase the power of your Binghuo Yang Thunder by several times.” Mu Qing smiled slightly.

"Is this true?" Ye Ming was greatly encouraged.

"Yes, I have mastered a secret technique called 'Thunder Sacrifice Technique'. After practicing this technique, the power of thunder and lightning can be greatly increased." Mu Qing nodded.

"Senior, are you sure?"

"Absolutely true!"

When Ye Ming heard this answer, he was really happy.

He knew there was a secret art called Thunder Sacrifice, but in his understanding, this art seemed to be specifically aimed at exorcising evil spirits. He was not sure how effective it was against Binghuo Yang Lei. Now according to what Mu Qing said, it should have a great effect!

"In addition, I have a secret technique that can stimulate the potential of spirit beasts and enhance the power of thunder and lightning they release." Mu Qing told Ye Ming some news that cheered him up.

"Excuse me, will this secret technique cause permanent harm to spiritual beasts?" Although Ye Ming was interested in this secret technique, he had to ask clearly.

"Don't worry about this. It will only make him weak for a while at most." Mu Qing said lightly.

Ye Ming glanced at Mu Qing suspiciously. This secret technique of stimulating potential must have huge side effects. It would definitely not be as simple as this woman said.

However, he had no intention of delving into it further. His thunder beast incarnation was not an ordinary spirit beast, but a spirit of thunder and lightning. His own split soul incarnation was completely different from an ordinary spirit beast. He would first ask for this secret technique. Maybe he could learn from its principles and improve the thunder beast's thunder and lightning abilities. If so, this would also be a great gain.

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Ye? As long as you are willing to help me open this treasure trove, I will teach you the thunder sacrifice technique and the secret technique to stimulate the potential of the golden hand." Seeing that Ye Ming was interested, Mu Qing immediately took the opportunity to make a request.

But Ye Ming said calmly: "If you want me to help you, the reward you are paying is too low! If I am not mistaken, the lightning power I have now will not be of as much help to you as you think. You must practice the thunder sacrifice technique or stimulate the potential of spirit beasts to achieve the results you want. In other words, as long as I agree to help you, these two secret techniques must be learned. Senior Mu, am I right?"

"You are very smart, but even so, isn't it equivalent to giving you huge benefits and helping you improve your strength? This is a win-win cooperation! Isn't it?" Mu Qing's smile faded.

"Haha, to be honest, I believe that with my current strength, I can protect myself even without these two secret techniques. Having them is just icing on the cake. Even if I can't learn them, it doesn't matter." Ye Ming spread his hands indifferently.

"What do you want?" Mu Qing stared at Ye Ming without emotion.

"It's actually very simple. Senior, you just need to teach me the method of teleporting from thin air and provide me with some natural treasures that can help me break through the bottleneck of the Fusion Stage."

Mu Qing looked at it for a long while, then suddenly chuckled: "Haha, I agree, but I can only give it to you after the matter is done."

Ye Ming thought for a moment and said, "The things that can help you break through the bottleneck can be given to you after the task is completed, but I hope to learn the secret technique of teleportation before then."

Seeing that the other party still had doubts, Ye Ming added: "Don't worry, if I agree to help you, I won't do what Hui Nuo did, and I won't leave without saying goodbye."

After entering the land of the Styx, he would most likely be separated from several demon kings. These people's actions to obtain the Milk of the Styx were extremely dangerous, so it would be better for him not to get involved in this muddy water.

Therefore, before that, we should try to get the benefits as much as possible. (End of this chapter)
