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

Suddenly, the two old men opened their eyes almost at the same time and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

A clear voice came from outside the door: "Hahaha, sorry, I'm busy with other things and have kept you two Taoist friends waiting for a long time."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Ming appeared at the door and in a flash, he was next to the main seat in the hall.

The two old men stood up at the same time and bowed. Ming Zun said politely, "Haha, we are sorry for being so presumptuous. Daoist Fellow Ye is very busy, and we are honored that he took the time to come here."

"Friend Ming, Friend Yan, please take a seat!" Ye Ming gestured to the two of them and his gaze lingered on the yellow-faced old man for a moment.

Seeing this, the old man bowed again and said, "Please come in, Fellow Daoist Ye! I am sorry for interrupting you. I do have something important to discuss with you. Please forgive me."

This person's name is Yan Yang, and he is the second most important person in the Jiao Chi tribe. In terms of both cultivation and strength, he can be ranked in the top 20 in the spirit world! Before Ye Ming came out of nowhere, such a person would walk sideways wherever he went.

However, today in the Linghuang Palace, this person was unusually honest and did not dare to do anything out of line. He was even a little nervous facing Ye Ming.

"Please come in, fellow Taoists!" Ye Ming nodded, then sat down on the main seat with his sword and golden horse.

After the two aliens sat down, they exchanged glances with each other. Ming Zun said with emotion, "I never thought that when we met, Fellow Daoist Ye was only at the Void Refining Stage, but now he is already a Mahayana cultivator, and his strength is at the top of the entire spiritual world. Congratulations to Fellow Daoist again!"

The greetings had already been said outside, so Ye Ming did not repeat them. Instead, he went straight to the point and said, "Friend Ming, your words are a bit exaggerated. I have only just entered the Mahayana stage. There are many people in the world who are more capable than me. Friend Ming is a very busy man. I wonder what advice you have for me?"

Speaking of business, Ming Zun's face straightened and he said solemnly: "In this case, I will speak directly. I believe that Fellow Daoist Ye knows the strength of our business alliance, so I will not introduce it in detail. Here, I solemnly invite Fellow Daoist Ye to join our alliance and serve as a guest elder. Can you consider it?"

"Guest elder?" This surprised Ye Ming a little.

Seeing that Ye Ming did not refuse immediately, Ming Zun continued, "Yes, if you serve as the guest elder, you don't need to do anything, and you don't need to go to the Merchant Alliance to take charge. You just need to be a figurehead. But you will not lose any offerings, and your status will be equal to mine. You can also use various channels within the alliance. How do you think?"
You have to know that with our level of cultivation, it is impossible for us to do everything by ourselves. When we need something, we always need someone to run errands. If you agree, our alliance can provide the corresponding channels. I believe that with our alliance's channels across the three continents, if you want to collect something, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

I heard that you need rare and precious spiritual objects such as Haoyin Stone, Yin-Yang Great Five Elements True Light, etc. If you can help us, the chances of finding them will be greatly increased. "

Ye Ming was not surprised that Ming Zun knew what he needed. He had already distributed the list of these items and had people collect them, including the Demon Realm. As the person in charge of the Haolian Merchant Alliance, it was natural for Ming Zun to know this matter.

He smiled helplessly: "According to what you said, I don't need to do anything to enjoy huge benefits. There is no such good thing in the world!"

Ming Zun clapped his hands and smiled, "Haha, I really don't need you to do anything at ordinary times. You just need to help our alliance overcome difficulties when they encounter a disaster."

But Ye Ming refused without thinking too much: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, but I have no intention of joining any forces."

Although Ming Zun was very disappointed, he still pretended not to care and smiled: "Haha, it doesn't matter. The door of Haolian Merchant Alliance is always open to Fellow Daoist Ye. Whenever Fellow Daoist thinks of us, you can join us at any time. Even if Fellow Daoist doesn't want to join, I hope to cooperate with you more in the future."

"Okay, okay! I hope you won't shirk your responsibility when the time comes." Ye Ming readily agreed. It would be much more convenient to ask this inter-continental trade alliance to handle things than to do it alone or rely on the human and demon races.

"How could that be? We welcome Fellow Daoist Ye to our alliance!" After Ming Zun finished speaking, he looked at Ye Ming with a smile and stopped talking.

Seeing this, the elder of the Jiaochi tribe on the side automatically took over the conversation, "Fellow Daoist Ye, there were some misunderstandings between our tribe and you before, which caused you some trouble. On behalf of the Jiaochi tribe, I sincerely apologize to you. These small tokens of my gratitude are not my respect. I hope that you will put aside the past grudges and forgive our offense."

The old man surnamed Yan politely took out a storage bracelet and a jade slip and slowly placed them in front of Ye Ming.

Ye Ming looked at this person expressionlessly, neither speaking nor touching the jade slip and storage bracelet. Yan Yang felt uneasy, but still said, "This is a piece of Yin-Yang Five Elements True Light that I accidentally got in my early years. I heard that fellow Taoists are buying a large number of this thing. It has been useless for many years with me, so I will give it to you.

In addition, the elders of our clan have decided that from now on, they will never have any hostility towards fellow Taoists, and will regard the human race as an ally. From now on, if the human race has problems, it is our clan's problem. Whenever there is a need, our clan will provide the greatest degree of support at any time.

If you need it, I can take charge and provide you with a place to stay in Thunder Continent, and I guarantee that no one will disturb you."

The old man said a lot of words to show his goodwill to Ye Ming, and at the same time took out a specially made jade box that was sealed tightly.

After a long silence, Ye Ming said cheerfully, "Fellow Daoist Yan is thoughtful."

Then he reached out and picked up the jade box. With a casual touch of his hand, a golden glow flashed by, and the layers of seals on it fell off automatically, and the lid of the box popped open.

A ray of light flashed, and there was a loud bang on the ground, and a strange rock about seven or eight feet high appeared.

The stone was yellow-brown in color, with a surface full of pits and holes. Rays of colorful light shot out from it, and an invisible wave stirred up chaos in the surrounding spiritual energy.

"Well, it's the Yin-Yang Five Elements True Light. It's pretty good." After Ye Ming took a few glances at it, he waved his hand and put it away.

This kind of true light can be well integrated into other minerals and can appear in various forms, but Ye Ming will not mistake the familiar breath.

Then he picked up the jade slip, scanned it with his mind, and slowly read through it.

Seeing this, Yan Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that Ye Ming was willing to accept these things meant that he would most likely not attack the Jiaochi tribe again.

This person's strength was too terrifying. After discussing with all the elders in the tribe, they felt that even if they called on three true spirits to worship, they might not be able to kill Ye Ming. Unless Ye Ming was trapped in a desperate situation, there would be a slight possibility. Therefore, the elders agreed that they must not be enemies with Ye Ming, and would resolve the conflict between the two sides at all costs, which led to this trip of the human race.

After a while, Ye Ming put down the jade slip and put away the storage bracelet. According to the jade slip, it was full of top-grade materials, elixirs and other items, which were inestimable in value.

Then he smiled and said to the withered old man: "Thank you, Daoist friend Yan. Please give my regards to your great elder when you go back."

"Haha, of course, of course!" Hearing this, the old man felt relieved.

Afterwards, the three of them discussed the issue of cultivation. Ming Zun and Yan Yang had both entered the Mahayana realm for tens of thousands of years, so they naturally had their own opinions on the way of cultivation. Whether they were right or not, it was all an experience.

As they told each other about their experiences, Ye Ming listened with great interest.

An hour later, Mingzun saw that the time was right and offered to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Ye must have many things to do. Fellow Daoist Yan and I have already taken up a lot of your time, so we will take our leave first. I welcome you to the alliance anytime, and we can have a good chat then."

Yan Yang expressed the same idea.

"Thank you for being so polite, my two fellow Taoists. I will go there when I have time." Ye Ming said politely.
