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

Sure enough, not long after Ye Ming and Jin Yue left, three beams of light of different colors appeared above the mountain.

The light faded, revealing an old man with a red beard, a beautiful middle-aged woman, and an extremely ugly man.

"Strange. I just clearly sensed the presence of the True Saint Kunpeng here, but it disappeared without a trace in just a moment. Did you two find anything?" The old man with red beard was Elder Xu of the Tianpeng clan.

The beautiful woman looked around and suddenly her eyes lit up. She stretched out her hand and grabbed something in the air. With a "swish", a green light shot out from the dense forest under the mountain and landed in his hand.

After slowly spreading out his palm, a thin line as thick as a hair was revealed, shining with green light.

"It's the spiritual power thread condensed from the Great Elder's treasure!" The ugly man recognized the origin of the black hair at a glance.

"So, it must be the Great Elder who performed the Kunpeng transformation just now! I wonder if he was testing his magical powers or fighting with others?" The red-bearded old man guessed while stroking his long beard.

"It's probably the former that's more likely. If it was a fight with someone, how could it end so quickly?" the beautiful woman thought.

"But no matter what, let's search the area carefully first." The ugly man suggested.

"Can!"

Then, the three of them began to search the area carefully.

……

Thousands of miles away, on a bare boulder on the top of an unknown hill, Ye Ming and Jin Yue were sitting opposite each other.

There was a white jade table between the two of them, on which were placed several rare spiritual fruits and spiritual teas.

Jin Yue placed the jade cup in her hand on the table and said calmly, "Okay, now that you've tasted the spiritual fruit and drank the spiritual tea, you can tell me your purpose now!"

At this time, she had adjusted her mood and became calm again.

Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled secretly in his heart. It turned out that no matter where you are, only if you have enough strength can you have an equal dialogue.

He cleared his throat and asked Jin Yue, "Fellow Daoist Jin, what do you think of my Kunpeng transformation just now?"

Jin Yue's expression froze, and he said calmly: "Very strong, at least no one in the clan can compare to you except me!"

Although she was reluctant to admit it, it was a fact that could not be denied.

"Then what do you think... is there any difference compared to the transformation technique you have mastered?" Ye Ming picked up a spiritual fruit and threw it into his mouth, saying while chewing.

"Difference? I feel like there is a little difference, but I can't put it into words for the moment." Hearing this, Jin Yue began to think hard.

"Hey, you must be very curious about how I, a human, can possess such a profound transformation technique, right?"

"Just say what you want to say. Why keep us in suspense?" Jin Yue was too lazy to answer Ye Ming. Wasn't this obvious?

"Haha, this secret transformation technique was learned from my incarnation. What can you think of after I said this?" Ye Ming gave some hints.

"Could it be the relics of Kunpeng! Great Elder Hongyun!" Jin Yue suddenly had an idea and thought of something.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Jin is quick-witted. Yes, this secret transformation technique is indeed derived from the Kunpeng relic, which contains Elder Hongyun's chaotic and majestic storm of divine thoughts. However, my incarnation is not affected by it, and I have obtained a secret technique of refining true blood and transforming into Kunpeng from it." Ye Ming said with a smile.

"Then you came here today to return the property to its original owner!" Jin Yue's eyes flashed.

Ye Ming immediately shook his head: "No! Although I have obtained this secret technique, what I am practicing now is not entirely from the relic, but a new secret technique that I have comprehended after verifying and pondering it with the secret technique of refining true blood that I have mastered. It includes two parts: how to refine the blood of the true saint more thoroughly, and how to transform and use it." "In that case, what you mean is..."

"I can give you this secret technique, but you have to agree to one condition."

"You tell me! As long as it's not too difficult, I will try my best to agree to it." A hint of joy flashed in Jin Yue's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, you are not sincere. You are just trying your best. You should know that if you can take this technique back and let your people practice it, it can increase their combat effectiveness by several times out of thin air. It will be a huge help to the improvement of the strength of your entire tribe.

If I were the chief of the Tianpeng tribe, I would definitely take this technique back at any cost. As has been proven just now, the road of robbing is not feasible, so shouldn't you be prepared to do your best to trade? "Ye Ming sneered and said.

Jin Yue's eyes flashed with a strange light, and she suddenly smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye is right. You helped our tribe survive the crisis of being annexed, and now you have brought hope to our tribe. Whatever you need, as long as we have it, we will give it to you. If we don't have it, we will definitely do our best to find it for you."

Ye Ming looked up and down at the girl in front of him inexplicably. This attitude change was a bit fast! But it didn't matter. Since he was willing to talk properly, it was fine.

"Haha, actually what I want is not difficult. Let me first ask if there is a cross-continent teleportation array in your Feiling tribe that can teleport to the Thunder Continent?"

"You want to go to Thunder Continent?" Jin Yue was stunned. No matter what, she could not have imagined that Ye Ming would look for her for this matter.

"That's right. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Jin can help me? As long as you help me achieve this goal, I will give you the secret technique that I just performed!" After Ye Ming finished speaking, he looked at the girl expectantly.

Unexpectedly, Jin Yue smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that Fellow Daoist Ye will be disappointed. Although our Feiling clan is not small, it is not considered a big clan in the spiritual world. We are not yet capable of possessing super strategic resources such as cross-continental teleportation arrays. So..."

"How could there be nothing?" Ye Ming looked disappointed.

"I don't need to lie to you about this!" Jin Yue also sighed. But she suddenly frowned, as if she remembered something, and said with energy:
"However, I know there is a way to possibly go to Thunder Continent."

"What method?" Ye Ming also became interested.

"Have you heard of the Haolian Merchant Alliance?"

"I've only heard of this name, but I don't know the specific situation." Ye Ming was stunned. It was this business alliance again. He thought of the wooden sign that Qing Yuanzi gave him.

"Hehe, the Helian Merchant Alliance is one of the few secret forces in the spiritual world that spans three continents. Even compared with the strongest races in the spiritual world, they are not much weaker. They have a cross-continental teleportation array. Due to some special reasons, the Merchant Alliance auctions some inter-continental teleportation quotas every few years." Jin Yue explained.

"Auction of teleportation quota! When will their auction be held?"

"This Chamber of Commerce does not always hold auctions for teleportation spots. Sometimes they happen once every few decades, and sometimes they happen every two or three hundred years. There is basically no fixed number. The last auction for spots was over a hundred years ago, so I didn't think of it right away." Jin Yue shook her head.

"When will their next auction start? What are the requirements if you want to participate?" Ye Ming continued to ask.

"The last one was nearly twenty years ago, so this one must have been in the past few years. As for the qualifications for participating in the auction, it's actually quite simple. First of all, if you have a Saint-level or above cultivation, you can apply to participate; secondly, if you are a VIP of their Chamber of Commerce, you can also participate; the other is to be introduced by an acquaintance, but the cultivation level of this introducer must be high enough." Jin Yue explained in detail.

"I want to participate in the next auction organized by the Haolian Merchant Alliance. Can Brother Jin help me do it?"

"Are you sure you want to participate? You should know that they may not auction cross-continental places at the next auction." Jin Yue told the truth.

"Well, whether there is one or not, I want to try my luck." Ye Ming said firmly. With Qing Yuanzi's VIP status, he believed that as long as he contacted this business alliance, he would be able to borrow the teleportation array.

"I have participated in several auctions of the Haolian Merchant Alliance before, so I am considered an acquaintance. Moreover, with my cultivation level, I can introduce someone in. However, let's agree in advance that as long as I take you to the auction, you have to hand over the secret technique to me. As for whether they have an auction quota and whether you can get it yourself, it has nothing to do with me. Are you willing, Brother Ye?" Jin Yue said solemnly.
