[Foundation Establishment Level Task: Eliminate all Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining remnants of the assassin organization "Liu Tian" within the Qingtian Realm. The internal Golden Core Stage assassins have already been slain. Currently, there are six Foundation Establishment Level assassins and eighteen Qi Refining Stage assassins. Eliminating each one will earn the corresponding black market points, and clearing all will yield 7,300 black market points.]

Below these task descriptions, the cultivation level and strength of each member are also listed.

"This is quite interesting!"

"More reliable than killing a core disciple of the Cyan Origin Sect!"

Without the presence of Golden Core Stage cultivators, Qi Ping still has some confidence in preserving his life against Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Moreover, Qi Ping discovered something - after refreshing the tasks, the original tasks remain!

"This mechanism is pretty good; at least I won't run out of spirit stones without finding a suitable task!"

However, after considering the difficulty and risk of the tasks, Qi Ping decided to temporarily abandon this task.

When refreshing again, Qi Ping set the tasks to the Qi Refining level.

The range was precisely set to the Qingtian Realm by Qi Ping.

When Qi Ping clicked refresh again, only 20 spirit stones were deducted...

[Qi Refining Level Task: Eliminate all Qi Refining remnants of the assassin organization "Liu Tian" within the Qingtian Realm. The internal Golden Core Stage assassins have already been slain. Currently, there are six Foundation Establishment Level assassins; proceed with caution. There are also eighteen Qi Refining Stage assassins, and clearing all Qi Refining Stage assassins will yield 1,600 black market points.]

Qi Ping: ...

Following this, Qi Ping spent 400 spirit stones to refresh twenty times in one go, discovering that most are assassination tasks and a few are rescue ones.

Assassination tasks mainly fall into two categories: eliminating assassin organizations similar to 'Liu Tian' and eliminating some emerging genius disciples.

Moreover, Qi Ping found that these genius disciples seemingly share certain characteristics, such as cultivating techniques with exceptionally fast progress but detrimental to nature; for example, the Infant Devouring Method cultivated by Qin Shengyun, a core disciple of the Cyan Origin Sect.

And it seems these organizations are also engaged in some population and corpse trading in the background.

This commonality gave Qi Ping a slight chill in his heart.

"It seems cultivation techniques shouldn't be practiced recklessly; otherwise, who knows when one might end up on some assassination list..."

What really shocked Qi Ping, though, was how these people practicing such techniques were discovered? In theory, they should keep these methods very hidden.

After much thought, Qi Ping could only attribute it to the mysterious detection magic and techniques. For the Mysterious Black Market, this isn't considered a difficult matter.

"But does the Mysterious Black Market go to such great lengths to post these tasks just to punish evil and promote good?"

Qi Ping believes that things probably aren't that simple.

For those engaged in population and corpse trading organizations, there seems to be a hidden commonality as well.

"Judging by individual cases, it seems like nothing, merely practicing some techniques that harm nature but accelerate cultivation and engaging in some population and corpse trades, which is considered normal wherever it happens..."

"However, with so many people and organizational forces appearing in one area and all being meticulously pinpointed and task-posted by the Mysterious Black Market, it's evident that two mysterious forces are colliding in the background!"

For many years, Qi Ping had heard numerous rumors about disappearances, mostly involving children.

It now seems likely that these were the doings of those behind-the-scenes manipulations.

Qi Ping even speculates that wars between sects might be related to these matters, perhaps as a pretext to collect the flesh and blood of young talents?

However, Qi Ping isn't sure, merely wild guesses based on the task details and commonalities from the Mysterious Black Market.

"Anyway, better be cautious!"

"Only complete simple tasks, so that no one can guess my true strength..."

"When doing tasks, let the bees handle it as much as possible, and never carry the token on me."

After all, logically, no one would expect Qi Ping, with his robust hidden cards and powerful animal companions, to be willing to only take on Qi Refining Stage tasks.

...

In the next two days, after meticulously planning and preparing for the tasks, Qi Ping began to execute them.

Although the rewards for Qi Refining level tasks were only one-tenth or even much less than that of Foundation Establishment level tasks.

Qi Ping still enjoyed doing them, the victory was in safety!

While it might be challenging for other Foundation Establishment cultivators to locate people, for Qi Ping with his bee swarm, it wasn't a difficult matter.

Those elusive and transient organizations and hidden individuals, under the search of Qi Ping's bee swarm, were apprehended one by one!

It's likely those organizations and hidden task targets couldn't have imagined in their wildest dreams that they'd ever be targeted by such a terrifying existence.

Typically, those seeking them out were at most some Qi Refining Stage fellows who'd use favorable terrain advantages, making them manageable to deal with.

But how could they manage when facing Qi Ping?

It felt like the entire world was Qi Ping's bee swarm; they couldn't fight back, nor could they escape. There was no option besides waiting for death, the most frustrating situation.

This beekeeper is so outrageous, not playing by the usual rules at all!

After roughly three busy months, Qi Ping finally completed thirty-seven tasks, amassing twelve thousand three hundred black market points.

The harvest efficiency wasn't high, but Qi Ping was already satisfied.

However, when Qi Ping planned to do a few more tasks and cease, trouble eventually came knocking.

While eradicating a small organization with only Qi Refining level members, three Foundation Establishment cultivators suddenly emerged from within.

These three Foundation Establishment cultivators happened to be from the "Liu Tian" organization, also listed on the black market task board.

But these three Foundation Establishment cultivators were not as formidable as the ones who previously hunted Meng Yan, and naturally couldn't pose any threat to Qi Ping.

With some effort, Qi Ping managed to successfully slay them!

Qi Ping further obtained an additional 2,700 black market points!

[Black Market Points: 15,000]

Now Qi Ping has a total of fifteen thousand black market points!

The efficiency of completing Foundation Establishment level tasks was indeed much higher than doing Qi Refining level tasks.

Nevertheless, this incident served as a warning for Qi Ping; he had completed too many Qi Refining level tasks recently, drawing attention from the mysterious organization.

"Now I should be being watched, fortunately, the people they sent were far below my actual combat power, not only failing to catch me but also gifting me with a significant amount of black market points!"

"However, I should stop here. Without a significant boost in power or completing the clone's creation, I absolutely must not take action again temporarily!"

This time's good fortune was solely because Qi Ping's true strength far surpassed what was visible; if there were a next time, the enemies would certainly not be as simple as today's characters.

Thus, Qi Ping stopped and concealed himself.

The next step is for him to harvest and purchase the Spirit Vein Essence!
