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

The woman in front of me was wearing a black long dress embroidered with patterns of burning flames. A black phoenix with its wings spread was faintly visible in the flames.

She was tall and graceful, like a fairy from an ancient painting. Her long black hair fell to her waist like a waterfall, shining with a faint luster.

Her face was as delicate as a painting, her facial features were three-dimensional and textured, her skin was as delicate and smooth as jade, as if it would blush at the slightest touch. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, which was both gentle and with a hint of indescribable majesty.

A pair of charming eyes are as deep as the night sky, as if they can see into people's hearts and look directly into their souls.

With every gesture, he exudes a noble and mysterious temperament that makes people feel awe and yearning.

Is this the queen style? Ye Ming's eyes lit up.

"My dear Daoist Master Ye is very busy, so it seems that I have come at the wrong time." The Black Phoenix Demon King glanced at Yan Ruyan and said with a slight smile on his lips.

Yan Ruyan seemed to be caught, and her cheeks flushed.

Ye Ming was thick-skinned enough to say nonchalantly, "I was at a critical juncture in my cultivation just now. I'm sorry to have kept Daoist Xiao waiting for so long. I'll punish myself with a drink. Daoist Xiao, please!"

Then Ye Ming invited the Black Phoenix Demon King to sit down again, took out the extremely precious Hongluo Immortal Wine, and poured him a glass.

As soon as he smelled the aroma of wine, the Black Phoenix Demon King's eyes lit up. He picked up the wine glass with his slender hands and took a sip.

"Good wine. Fellow Daoist Ye actually has such good stuff. If you can fill a few more cups for me, I will forgive you." Feeling the magic of the fairy wine, the Black Phoenix Demon King took another sip and said so.

"Haha, no problem, no problem! If someone else came, I would definitely say that this fairy wine is gone, but fellow Daoist, that's another matter. I still remember your kindness in helping us when the aliens attacked the city." Ye Ming was not stingy and directly took out a wine jug and placed it in front of the Black Phoenix Demon King.

"In that case, I won't be polite. But I only helped a little back then. Even without my help, Fellow Daoist Ye should be fine." The Black Phoenix Demon King put away the wine jug. He had heard from Saint Emperor Tianyuan earlier that when visiting Ye Ming, he would be treated with good things. Now he saw that it was true!

"It's just a piece of cake for you, but it was indeed a great help to me at that time. Please, fellow Taoist!" Ye Ming said as he raised the wine glass in his hand.

Although it was not known whether the demon king did it intentionally or unintentionally, he finally stopped a purple shadow in the late fusion stage from chasing him, and he had to accept this favor.

"please!"

Afterwards, the two of them had a relaxed and pleasant conversation.

After chatting for a while, the Black Phoenix Demon King said casually:
"Fellow Daoist Ye is participating in the Wanbao Conference for the first time as a combined cultivator. I wonder if you have heard of the 'Black Domain Exchange Conference'!"

"The Black Domain Exchange Conference! Ye has heard something about it. I heard that the Black Domain Conference is the most mysterious one among all the underground trade fairs. It is an exchange conference specially held for the combined cultivators. Generally, there are very few combined beings who participate in the Wanbao Conference who do not participate in this event. But after all, it is just hearsay, and we don't know the details such as when and where it will be held." Ye Ming's eyes flashed when he heard it, but he did not show any overly surprised expression.

When he read it in his previous life, he only had a vague impression that Han Lao Mo bought a secret method of body refining and rescued Bing Feng in this event, and there were also many rare and unusual materials and treasures. But he was not sure about the specific details.

"Haha, what you said is right. For us, the combined cultivators, ordinary things are indeed hard to please. Even in the auction of the Ten Thousand Treasures Conference, it is impossible for everyone to return satisfied. There are many Taoists who have valuable treasures but are unwilling to exchange them for spirit stones. Most of them just want to exchange for items they urgently need.

In addition, some fellow Taoists have good things but their origins are unknown, so they are afraid of causing trouble and do not directly auction them. Some treasures are so rare that even if a combined cultivator like me gets them, I am afraid that the news will leak out and cause me a fatal disaster.

Therefore, every time the Wanbao Conference was held, there were several small-scale trade fairs held privately at the same time.

The Black Domain Exchange Conference is hosted by a group of mysterious monks who are extremely powerful. Once, a monk in the middle stage of fusion caused trouble at the conference and was killed on the spot. Therefore, it is extremely safe to participate in the Black Domain Exchange Conference.

This exchange meeting is just for bartering, it will only be held once and will end within one day, and the participants will never be questioned about their identities.

In addition to combined beings like us, there are also some people who possess valuable treasures participating in this conference. They can also bring their treasures with them. I heard that there will be people from other races who will come with valuable treasures this time.

As for the time and place you mentioned, when the day comes, with your current cultivation status, even if you don’t ask, someone will tell you.”

The Black Phoenix Demon King told everything she knew.

"Thank you for telling me, fellow Daoist." "You're welcome. This is a well-known matter to those of us who have lived longer." The Black Phoenix Demon King said indifferently.

Ye Ming shook his head and said nothing. These were the flaws of growing too fast. Living a short life, experiencing less, and gaining less knowledge and experience.

It is not only reflected in the common sense among the combined cultivators, but also in the identification of various treasures and spiritual materials.

"By the way, there is one more thing. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ye has heard about it?"

"Fellow Taoist, please tell me."

"I heard that the demon world will merge with our spirit world in the near future."

"I've heard a little bit about this. What do you think about it? Or, how do you plan to deal with it?"

"Haha, what can I say? It's nothing more than trying our best to defend. I just hope to withstand several rounds of attacks from the demons and hold out until the interface intersection is over, then everything will be fine."

"Has no one thought of taking the initiative to attack and force them to retreat?"

"How should we attack? Our combined strength as human and demon tribes, as well as the nearby wood tribe, Yaksha tribe, and other tribes, is not as strong as the invading demon tribe. The gap is quite large. Who dares and who can take the initiative to attack?"

"What if, after these monsters come, they don't plan to leave?"

"Not leaving? How is that possible! Just like people from the Spirit World would not be able to adapt to the Demon World, the demons from the Demon World would also have many inconveniences when they come to our place, so their large forces will definitely leave before the interface loses contact."

"If, I mean if, these demons come and don't plan to leave, how should we deal with it?"

"This..." Faced with this question, the Black Phoenix Demon King fell into deep thought.

"Actually, Ye has such an idea."

"Oh? Tell me about it." The Demon King was very interested and leaned closer.

"We can build some ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays in some hidden places within our respective guard areas, so that we can help each other..."

Ye Ming told his idea.

What he was thinking at this time was that if he failed to advance to the Mahayana stage before the demons came, then those Mahayana Saint Ancestor incarnations would be walking pills. If he killed them all, he would be able to accumulate a large number of cultivation pills.

Even if you can't use it all or no longer need it, you should still consider your many fellow Taoists, right?

After listening to this, the Black Phoenix Demon King smiled beautifully, "I think your plan is excellent! We welcome you to visit our Black Phoenix Clan anytime, and we will help build such a teleportation array. I will trouble you when the time comes."

"Haha, this is a win-win situation. Ye will do his best."

"Well, it's settled then."

Afterwards, the two chatted about other things.

It was not until late at night that the Black Phoenix Demon King proposed to leave. "It's a long night, I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye!"

As he said this, he glanced at Yan Ruyan and three other beautiful ladies.

"Take care, Fellow Daoist Xiao!" Ye Ming smiled.
