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

After the old man returned the token to Ye Ming, he couldn't help but look at Ye Ming twice more.

At the same time, he was also carefully sensing Ye Ming's aura, but he could only feel that this aura was vague and obscure, and he couldn't see what Ye Ming's cultivation level was. However, he thought that it was very likely higher than the initial stage of refining emptiness.

Is this the terrifying thing about this ascended cultivator? Not only are they extremely powerful in fighting, but their cultivation speed is also so terrifying. I heard that when this person ascended, he was only in the early stage of the Spiritualization. In less than seven hundred years, he has cultivated to the middle stage of the Void Refining?

The young Tianyuan Guard who was about 20 years old was also scanning Ye Ming with his spiritual sense. He was startled and said expressionlessly:
"Fellow Daoist Ye, although your identity has been confirmed, you still have to go through the necessary procedures. In order to prevent aliens from sneaking into Tianyuan City through you, please input a stream of spiritual energy into this alien spirit disk."

As he spoke, the man took out a magic plate covered with silver tadpole runes and threw it towards Ye Ming.

Ye Ming was stunned. How could he see hostility in this young man's eyes? Thinking carefully, he was sure that he had never seen this person before.

However, Ye Ming still knew about the use of special spirit disks to examine people returning from the wilderness, and he knew that this young man was indeed following the formal procedures.

But he was still cautious, and with his calm hand he pressed lightly to make the magic disk stop in front of him. He flicked his index finger, and a golden light flashed at his fingertips, and a stream of spiritual power flowed into the magic disk.

The result was naturally that the Dharma plate was completely unpredictable.

Seeing this, the old man felt relieved and said, "Okay! Since there is no problem, Fellow Daoist Ye, please get on the boat."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Ye Ming clasped his fists towards him, and with a flash of his body, he appeared on the Jinting Boat, then walked in calmly.

The young Tianyuan Guard put away the magic plate and called Shi Shi and the others.

A moment later, Jin Tingzhou appeared in the Tianyuan City teleportation tower in a white light.

Without waiting for Shi Shi and others to come over, Ye Ming moved and quickly rushed out of the hall.

Not long after, he appeared above the city area with giant towers. Looking at the flashing lights around him and the people coming and going below, Ye Ming couldn't help but chuckle.

What a familiar scene, I'm back again!

After standing in mid-air and observing carefully for a while, Ye Ming discovered that all the cultivators passing by were basically calm, without any worries or concerns.

"The entire Tianyuan City is unusually calm, and there is no sign of preparation for war. It seems that the incident has not happened yet. However, it is better to go to Jinting Pavilion first to confirm whether there are any people who have ascended from the human world." After Ye Ming said this in an imperceptible manner, he flew quickly in a certain direction.

Jinting Pavilion is the main place for handling affairs of ascended monks, such as identity registration for those who have just ascended, registration after their cultivation level has been promoted to a higher level, etc.

Therefore, coming here to learn about the relevant situation of the ascended monks is the most direct and effective way.

Soon, Ye Ming arrived at the magnificent gate of Jinting Pavilion again.

It still seems a bit deserted here, with few people coming in and out.

Ye Ming walked in with ease. After entering the Tianyuanwei office hall, he saw an acquaintance sitting on a large chair. It was Zhao Wugui, who had a good relationship with him!
At this time, Zhao Wugui was explaining something to a man in black robe. After he caught a glimpse of Ye Ming, he nodded slightly and continued talking to the man in black robe.

Ye Ming didn't care much and just found a chair to sit down.

After a moment, Zhao Wugui said to the man, "Okay, these are the things you need to pay attention to in Tianyuan City. Go out and familiarize yourself with it. Remember to take up the position of Qingming Guard in a month."

"I understand, Senior Zhao." The man in black responded respectfully, then turned and walked out of the hall.

When this person turned around, Ye Ming saw his face clearly. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, with an ordinary face and a cultivation level of the late stage of the Spiritualization. Judging from the conversation between the two people in front of him, this person should be an ascended cultivator, and he came from the lower realm where one can normally cultivate to the late stage of the Spiritualization and then ascend normally.

"Brother Ye, you are finally back!" After the middle-aged man left, Zhao Wugui stood up enthusiastically, looked Ye Ming up and down, and then said in amazement:
"Of course! You have actually advanced to the middle stage. This speed really shows that you are a genius in cultivation!"

"Brother Zhao, please stop teasing me. Compared to you old-school Void Refining cultivators, I am still a little behind. I see a special aura on Brother Zhao. I think he has cultivated some powerful magical power." Ye Ming didn't want to talk more about this issue. With a flash of blue light in his eyes, he turned the topic to the other party. "Hey, how can this be true? You must have seen it wrong." Zhao Wugui denied it decisively, but Ye Ming still saw a hint of complacency in the other party's eyes.

"Brother Ye usually doesn't come to me unless there is something wrong. Tell me, what do you want to see me about?" Zhao Wugui returned to his seat.

"Haha, it's nothing big. I just came back from the wilderness and came here for a visit." Ye Ming laughed.

Seeing that Ye Ming did not explain his purpose, Zhao Wugui was too lazy to mention it again, and said:

"Looking at your cultivation, I know you must have had some great adventures in the wilderness. I'm not in a position to ask about this. But you've been wandering in the wilderness for more than 200 years, so you must have obtained a lot of natural treasures. Can you share some with me? Don't worry, it's an absolute equal exchange, and you won't suffer any loss."

Hearing this, Ye Ming's heart moved. This Zhao Wugui is the disciple of Master Lei Luo, and Master Lei Luo can be said to be an authentic Taoist cultivator. Maybe he can get something from here.

So he didn't refuse and directly admitted: "As for treasures, I do have a few, but I don't know what kind of things Brother Zhao needs?"

"Oh? It seems that Brother Ye has really gained a lot. So are there any rare treasures that can improve my cultivation?" Zhao Wugui was excited. This Ye Ming really has good things.

"Improve your cultivation..." Ye Ming glanced at the other party calmly and began to ponder.

This Zhao Wugui had already reached the middle stage of the Refining Void realm when he ascended to the spiritual world. Now, more than six hundred years have passed, and he is still in the middle stage, and is still a little away from the peak of the middle stage. It seems that this person really lacks spiritual objects to improve his cultivation.

After thinking quickly, Ye Ming flipped his palm, took out two brocade boxes, and used his magic power to carry them to Zhao Wugui, saying lightly:
"Brother Zhao, take a look at this first!"

Zhao Wugui flicked his sleeves, and the lids of the two brocade boxes opened automatically, revealing two objects of extraordinary aura.

"Zhilong fruit, huh? Looking at the color and fragrance, it must have been ripe for 40,000 to 50,000 years!" He picked up three purple fruits and said with emotion.

The fruit looked like a grape, dark purple all over, and a dragon-shaped flesh could be faintly seen inside.

"Yes, it is the Zhilong Fruit with medicinal properties that is more than 40,000 years old. Brother Zhao has a good eye!" Ye Ming nodded.

There was originally a bunch of these Zhilong fruits, but he only took out three of them.

"It's really good stuff!" Zhao Wugui put down the Zhilong Fruit and picked up the ball in another brocade box.

The sphere was yellow and green in color, and as big as a baby's head. A rich and pure demonic power quickly spread throughout the hall.

"The inner elixir of an ancient beast in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm!" Zhao Wugui was overjoyed.

Then he looked at Ye Ming with some strangeness in his eyes. Since this person was able to obtain the inner elixir of an ancient beast of such a level, it meant that his strength was still like that of the God Transformation Stage, and he could easily kill those of the same level.

"That's right, Brother Zhao, are you satisfied with these two items?" Ye Ming said with a smile.

He still had many similar ancient beast inner pills on him. To refine these inner pills into elixirs, he needed some spiritual medicines as auxiliary materials. Since Ye Ming had a large number of refining pills, he was not in a hurry to refine this kind of elixir to take.

"Hahaha, satisfied, very satisfied. Brother Ye is really good at it. He can find such a rare spiritual object. I wonder what Brother Ye wants to exchange?" Zhao Wugui laughed with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Ye Ming's eyes flashed, and he said casually, "It's nothing. I just heard that Brother Zhao is a disciple of Master Lei Luo, and Master Lei Luo practices authentic Taoist techniques. I think he should know the secret technique of 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones'! And I am quite interested in this secret technique. I wonder if Brother Zhao can help me?"

Zhao Wugui slowly put away the smile on his face and began to tap his fingers on the table as he thought.
