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

Outside the mountain, at the entrance of the passage, when Ye Ming took action to subdue the Demon Smoke Bird, the girl Xianxian let out a low cry and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"What happened?" The green Qilin phantom was startled and asked hurriedly.

"My magic smoke bird was controlled by that man." Xianxian replied with flickering eyes and uncertain expression.

"What? This is actually happening! Could it be that this person has already noticed something?" Qilin's eyes flashed.

"I don't know. Maybe he has some doubts, or maybe he simply doesn't want to be monitored by us while he is dealing with that holy-level monster." Xianxian said uncertainly.

“But in this way, we won’t be able to grasp the situation of his fight with the monster, and won’t be able to control the exact time to go in.” The Qilin phantom flicked its tail, and its eyes suddenly became gloomy.

"Now that the time has come, we can't care about so many things. No matter what, we should act quickly. Even if he has great magical powers, it will take more than a moment to kill a holy-level monster. This period of time is enough for us to open the True Spirit Cave." Xianxian said while gritting her teeth.

"This is the only way. Let's hurry up and go in!" The Qilin phantom also nodded decisively.

Xianxian then flipped her hand, and a black triangular token appeared in her hand. One side had a pattern of a black unicorn printed on it, and the other side had a few light silver runes printed on it.

After being thrown into the air, the black token spun around, and suddenly a strong wind blew, and a dark whirlwind appeared out of nowhere.

The whirlwind roared up into the sky, and a terrifying growl came from the center, as if a giant beast was hiding within it.

Xianxian kept making hand gestures with one hand, raised the wrist of her other hand, and opened her mouth. A small green sword came out of it, and after a slight tremor, it turned into a green light that circled around her wrist and cut a hole.

Suddenly, a large amount of blood spurted out from the wound on the wrist!

"Go!" Xianxian said in a low voice.

The flowing blood instantly condensed into a ball, turning into a blood ball the size of a fist, and shot straight towards the black whirlwind.

As soon as the blood ball sank into the whirlwind, the roar inside stopped abruptly, and the black wind that seemed to be raging everywhere also gradually became smaller.

Finally, the black wind disappeared in a flash, and a black unicorn with a body as black as ink and a body length of about ten feet appeared in its place.

The whole body of this Qilin was flashing with black light, and its surface was slightly blurry. It was also just a phantom.

Xianxian pointed at the empty space with one hand with an unusually solemn look. Black runes appeared mysteriously, then sank into the black unicorn and disappeared.

Suddenly, the murderous light in the eyes of the black unicorn, which originally looked ferocious, weakened, and finally its body moved, turning into a ball of black light and pounced towards Xianxian.

With a "puff" sound, the woman and the blue Qilin were all enveloped by black light, completely covering them.

“Hehe, with this Qilin Order, you don’t have to be afraid of the evil energy inside.” The blue Qilin chuckled.

"The ability of this treasure to resist evil spirits is secondary. Its power itself can at least save my life at a critical moment. It's a pity that it is a disposable treasure. I have to use it now." Xianxian smiled bitterly.

After saying this, the woman no longer hesitated. She moved, and in the flash of black light, she was also immersed in the evil spirit.

The man and the beast didn't know that not long after they were immersed in the evil spirit, an invisible purple mist suddenly flew in from the nearby hillside. An illusory figure stood in the air inside, looking at the cave with a shining light in his eyes.

A closer look at the man's face revealed that it was Ye Ming!

However, this Ye Ming is not the real one, but his second incarnation.

Before, when he was about to arrive here, Ye Ming took the opportunity to kill a monster and released his incarnation quietly.

The incarnation took advantage of the cover of Ye Ming's fight with the monster, used the Taiyi Huaqing Talisman to hide his figure, and then quietly followed Ye Ming and Xianxian.

And he watched the whole scene at the entrance of the cave on the mountain wall.

The incarnation raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled silently, and then slowly floated towards the mountain wall.

The evil spirits around it had no effect on it at all and it entered the passage silently.

At the same time, Ye Ming had walked out of the demonic energy channel and quietly appeared at the entrance of a hall, looking inside intently.

The hall is circular and extremely large, with a diameter of several hundred feet.

In the center of the hall, there was a golden magic circle of more than 30 meters, surrounded by twelve black stone pillars several meters high, carved with some green-faced, fang-toothed, and ferocious demon patterns. These patterns raised their heads or waved their claws, spewing out streams of dark demonic energy, all floating towards the center of the magic circle.

In the center of this magic circle, there is a large blood-red bed, on which lies a black giant ape several meters long.

This ape's fangs are exposed, its limbs are extremely long, and its head has three strange horns that tower into the sky, shining with yellow light.

There was a purple wound on the giant ape's chest, the size of an ordinary person's head, and deeply sunken into the body. One could even clearly see several ribs and a dark heart beating slightly.

The ape's eyes were closed, and although it was in deep sleep, a black light flashed on its body, and the evil spirits flying from all directions were slowly absorbed into its body.

The blood-red bed beneath him was rolling with a layer of blood mist, which kept flowing towards the giant ape.

Ye Ming stood at the door, staring coldly at everything in the hall, without any intention of taking any action.

At this moment, his body was completely in a state of emptiness. Even people who were close to him would find it difficult to detect his existence. He believed that the demon ape in the middle stage of fusion in front of him could not detect his existence either.

However, Ye Ming knew that the demon ape was currently practicing the Soul and Body Separation Technique, separating its physical body from its spirit and healing each one separately.

This method of healing is not uncommon in some advanced magic skills or high-level demons, such as the ancient demon Blood Flame in the human world.

Even Ye Ming himself knows how to do it, because this method is recorded in the Tuotian Magic Art.

Using the soul-body separation method to heal injuries would double the recovery speed, but it would also be extremely dangerous.

After all, the soul and the body are separated. If an emergency occurs and the soul cannot return to the body in time, then the person will definitely be doomed.

Therefore, Ye Ming was observing and looking for the hiding place of the Demon Ape's soul at this time.

In the entire hall, there was nothing else except the huge magic circle in the center and the blood bed.

Therefore, although it was not convenient for Ye Ming to release his divine sense to investigate, he was basically certain that there was a 90% chance that the demon ape's soul was hidden in the blood bed.

Before coming here, Ye Ming had already planned to bring back the body of the demon ape as intact as possible.

But you must not fight with this demon ape for so long like Han Lao Mo in the original time and space. Although the demon ape was finally killed, the demon ape also drained all its blood and essence, turning it into a dried corpse. I don't know how much blood of the true spirit was lost!

Therefore, the best option is to try your best to launch a sneak attack.

After observing, seeing that the demon ape really didn't seem to notice anything, Ye Ming decided to take action.

He moved and slowly floated into the hall, arriving at the top of the hall right above the huge magic circle.

As he slowly practiced his skills, his body grew little by little to about thirty or four feet tall, with golden and purple scales appearing on his body surface.

A golden light flashed behind him, and a three-headed, six-armed Dharma image appeared, and then without stopping, it pounced directly on Ye Ming.

Suddenly, an astonishing scene appeared!

With two "pops", a head popped out from each side of Ye Ming's shoulders. Their faces looked exactly like Ye Ming's. Four arms also appeared out of thin air under his armpits.

His body immediately turned into a being with three heads and six arms.

Then a black light flashed in front of him, and a dark hill appeared, slowly growing to half a meter in size.

He stretched out an arm on each side and held the Yuanci Mountain tightly with both hands.

Ye Ming performed all these actions very carefully, trying to achieve this effect with the least amount of mana. Therefore, the invisibility effect of Taiyi Huaqing Talisman has not been broken yet.

And while doing all this, Ye Ming's eyes never left the demon ape below.

Seeing that there was no movement, he took a deep breath and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
