After dealing with the mid-stage Foundation Establishment elder, Qi Ping was about to return to his territory when he suddenly thought of something.

"A significant portion of the bounties on the Mysterious Black Market are for those who practice blood-eating techniques like the 'Blood Evil Technique'. Could that Foundation Establishment mid-stage elder be one of them?"

If so, wouldn't that mean he could easily earn a few thousand Black Market Points?

Thinking of this, Qi Ping immediately turned around and went to the place where he had buried his Mysterious Black Market Token, deciding to refresh it a few times to check.

[Black Market Spirit Stone: 7200]

[Black Market Points: 1600]

After selecting to refresh the Foundation Establishment Level tasks, the Black Market Spirit Stones immediately reduced by 200.

However, the first task was about an influence bounty and had nothing to do with the Foundation Establishment elder Qi Ping killed.

Qi Ping was not in a hurry and patiently continued to refresh.

In fact, this information itself has considerable value. Spending some Spirit Stones to obtain information about the Foundation Establishment influences and experts near the Qingtian Realm was still of some value to Qi Ping.

Just like that, by the seventh refresh, he really found it!

[Foundation Establishment Level Task: Kill the Loose Cultivator He Daoren, mid-stage Foundation Establishment, practices the Blood-Devouring Technique, skilled in Swordsmanship, appearance... Killing earns 1500 Black Market Points]

"1500 Black Market Points! Not bad!"

That was enough for him to purchase items worth 16000 Spirit Stones on the Mysterious Black Market!

After Qi Ping accepted and submitted the task, it immediately showed as completed, and the Black Market Points were credited to him right away.

"I really don't know how the Mysterious Black Market knows that the task has been completed, it's odd..."

For such mysterious methods, Qi Ping was also a bit fearful, but the Mysterious Black Market was currently his only channel to access high-level items, so he had to take some risks.

"Anyway, I just need to be more cautious in the future!"

Then Qi Ping turned his attention to the token with the increasing Black Market Points.

[Black Market Spirit Stone: 5800]

[Black Market Points: 3100]

"Great!"

Getting 1500 Black Market Points without taking risks was still quite a joy for Qi Ping.

3100 Black Market Points were enough for him to buy many valuable items.

...

After re-hiding the Mysterious Black Market Token and returning to his territory, Qi Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The events of the past few days had been somewhat shocking for him.

The class rigidity in the Immortal Cultivation Realm was much more severe than he imagined, not to mention loose cultivators, even the competition for resources within the sects was exceptionally fierce.

This was not just a matter of good and bad, but a matter of having or not having. One couldn't even imagine what kind of madness such an environment would create, the elder who practiced the Blood Evil Technique was a typical example.

"Fortunately, I have already built up my territory..."

The Array, Spirit Vein, Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Tree—all were present, and to improve his cultivation, he just needed to steadily work at it.

The perimeter was also protected by an Illusion Array to hide the territory.

Especially in such a desolate place, it gave Qi Ping an immense sense of security.

Moreover, the territory had small Flower Demons, three-colored Deer, and little Spirit Foxes as animal companions, so life wouldn't be too dull.

After adjusting his mood, Qi Ping refocused his thoughts back on cultivation and farming.

"The Sunwood and Moonlight Tree Spirit Trees have already reached mid-stage and late-stage Tier Two, almost the limit of what I can cultivate at my current realm."

"Next, I'll focus on enhancing the Cyan Moon Fruit!"

This time, Qi Ping only brought back Tier Two Low Level Cyan Moon Fruit and Tier Two Low Level Cold Pool Grass from Chiyang City.

He didn't bring back the elder's belongings; he planned to wait two or three years before doing so. For the time being, his main focus was on the Cyan Moon Fruit.

As for those external matters, just thinking about them gave Qi Ping a headache, so it was best not to think about them!

Even if chaos reigned outside, as long as it didn't affect his farming and immortal cultivation, it was fine!

In the following days, Qi Ping simultaneously studied arrays and concentrated on cultivating the Cyan Moon Fruit!

...

The first time he cultivated the Cyan Moon Fruit, Qi Ping spent almost half a year before the Cyan Moon Tree bore its first batch of fruits.

"It's really not easy!"

Qi Ping looked at the eight fist-sized Spirit Fruits on the Cyan Moon Tree, resembling a round moon, emitting a cyan glow, with a face full of joy!

It must be said, the difficulty of cultivating Tier Two Spiritual Medicine was far beyond that of Tier One, especially Spirit Trees, which were much harder to cultivate than ordinary Spiritual Medicine.

In normal growth conditions, Qi Ping estimated it would take at least ten to twenty years for the first batch of Spirit Fruits to mature.

Given the rarity of Tier Two Spirit Veins and the difficulty of maturing Tier Two Spiritual Medicine, one could glimpse the scarcity of Tier Two Spiritual Medicine in the outside world.

With such limited annual yields, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Cyan Origin Sect, along with those from the subordinate families and cities, though not many, were certainly not few either.

In such a situation, with such few annual Spiritual Medicines produced, after the core members took most, the rest could only fight for the scraps!

They might not even get the scraps!

If they knew Qi Ping managed to produce eight Cyan Moon Fruits in half a year, they would go crazy, as even the core Foundation Establishment members of Cyan Origin Sect might not have such privileges.

"Buzz buzz... (Boss, has the Cyan Moon Fruit matured?)"

Resting on the Cyan Moon Tree, the Bee King suddenly smelled a unique fragrance of Spiritual Medicine, far surpassing any other Spiritual Medicine it had smelled before!

"Yes, it just matured!" Qi Ping nodded with a smile.

"Buzz buzz... (Great! Cultivating Tier Two Spiritual Medicine isn't easy!)"

"Indeed, it's up to you guys next!"

Qi Ping picked a Cyan Moon Fruit from the tree and handed it to the Bee King's feet, continuing with instructions:

"It has an enhancing effect on Fire Attribute Spiritual Power and physique, suitable for your transformation to Tier Two, and for nurturing Tier Two bee species larvae, focus on these directions in your research... Use as little of the Cyan Moon Fruit as possible during honey research..."

"Buzz buzz... (Don't worry, Boss, I'll oversee the Apothecary Bees to handle this well!)" The Bee King promised, patting its chest.

Having watched Qi Ping's efforts in cultivating the Tier Two Spiritual Medicine, the Bee King was well aware of its preciousness.

"Good! I'm looking forward to your good news!"

Qi Ping was very confident in the Bee King, in fact, he trusted it the most.

Over the years, the Bee King handled almost all the big and small affairs of the territory: reconnaissance and alerts, marking and guarding of storage bags in external scenarios, honey brewing, and taking care of Spiritual Medicine.

The Golden Marrow Bee King was almost like Qi Ping's chief steward.

Thus, entrusting the precious Tier Two Spiritual Medicine Cyan Moon Fruit to it, Qi Ping had no worries, only anticipation of how much the enhancement in cultivation will be when the honey is produced.

As a Tier Two Low Level Wood Attribute Spiritual Medicine, the Cyan Moon Fruit's special effects were not particularly strong; its sole unique trait was its extremely pure and dense Spiritual Qi, which could be used with various Spiritual Medicines in Qi Ping's territory to brew honey with various special effects.

At the same time, Qi Ping was also very looking forward to the Apothecary Bees showcasing their skills on Tier Two Spiritual Medicine for the first time, perhaps bringing some unexpected surprises.

"By the way, I wonder if adding the essence of the Sun, Moon, and Stars to it would produce any special effects?"

Qi Ping's mind flashed with inspiration, and he immediately had the Bee King arrange for the relevant matters.

Breaking through the Foundation Establishment Realm was far more difficult than Qi Refining, and making a honey that surprised people would be the best outcome.

After arranging the honey research work, Qi Ping stopped paying attention to it.

Now he had something even more important: not long ago, his Druid Level finally reached Level Seven!
