The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

The monks who noticed the change in the bracelet immediately probed their spiritual sense into it.

The next moment, his spiritual sense sensed a light curtain appearing in the bracelet, on which was a list of tasks. At this moment, a new task appeared - to assassinate a man named Xiao Fei.

Seeing this task, hundreds of monks secretly rejoiced in their hearts:

"Middle stage of foundation building? The head of the Xiao family? Forty Shadow Coins? Big deal!"

So, they all used their spiritual sense to click on the button that represented acceptance of the task.

After a while, only one of them had a flushed face. He immediately walked out of the cave, then slowly left the market and fled in one direction.

This person's name is Song Ren. His cultivation has reached the perfect stage of foundation building and he is only one step away from the Golden Core Stage.

However, it is not easy to break through to the Golden Core realm.

What's more, he was just a casual cultivator, and it was already a stroke of luck for him to be able to cultivate to the foundation-building stage.

The reason he has come this far is entirely due to his courage and ruthlessness in the war between the two tribes, as well as a bit of luck, which allowed him to survive.

But after the war, the resources he obtained were only enough for him to successfully advance to the perfect foundation building stage. If he wanted to go further and advance to the golden elixir stage, his hope was still slim.

However, fate is always full of variables.

Just two months ago, an encounter made him see the light, which was an invitation from Shadow Tower.

At that time, a jade bracelet and a jade slip suddenly fell from the sky and attacked him. At first, he thought someone was secretly plotting to murder him.

But when he checked the contents of the jade slip, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it contained an opportunity to advance to the Golden Elixir stage.

After successfully completing an assassination mission in the Shadow Building, in addition to being able to receive 80% of the compensation paid by the employer, there is also a vital item - Shadow Coin.

As long as you accumulate enough Shadow Coins, you can go to the Shadow Building to exchange them for a variety of rare spiritual objects.

In order to fulfill Song Ren's indelible dream of immortality, what he longed for was the opportunity to obtain the golden elixir called the Five Elements Spirit Fruit.

However, it is not easy to truly own this spiritual fruit, because its price is staggeringly high. It requires a full five hundred Shadow Coins to be eligible for exchange!

And this only means that you have the qualification to redeem, which does not mean that you can easily get it.

If one wants to finally obtain the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, one must pay another two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones as a price, or provide other spiritual objects of equal value in exchange.

However, such a price is insignificant compared to the opportunity of being promoted to the Golden Core stage.

You know, the Five Elements Spirit Fruit is a rare spiritual object that can help one advance to the Golden Elixir realm. It is a priceless treasure!

If it were put up for auction, the price would probably be much higher than this.

At first, he was skeptical about this matter.

After all, this kind of pie-in-the-sky fact is really hard to be convincing.

But he has always been known for his audacity. He originally made his fortune as a robbery cultivator, and his boldness is one of his characteristics.

After he refined the bracelet, he found that there were indeed several assassination missions hidden inside. What's more interesting is that these missions seem to be gradually decreasing.

It goes without saying that there must be other people taking on these tasks just like him.

So, with the mentality of giving it a try, he accepted a mission to assassinate a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

After the matter was accomplished, he rushed to the Youying Tower in the market town without stopping.

Since the market town itself had strict security measures, he felt no fear at all.

After arriving at the destination, he used the target soul stored in the bracelet to successfully submit the task and exchanged it for a first-level pill.

The whole process went extremely smoothly, even a little surprising.

What was even more strange was that there was no sign of any living person managing the Shadow Building, only a strange eyeball. This was exactly what he wanted, as he didn't have to worry about someone riding on his head or his freedom being restricted.

From then on, Song Ren became more and more confident and began to work tirelessly to obtain the Five Elements Spirit Fruit.

However, collecting a total of 500 Shadow Coins is no easy task!

According to common sense, if a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building can only obtain twenty Shadow Coins, it means that he must successfully assassinate as many as twenty-five cultivators in foundation building to achieve his goal.

However, the reality is far more difficult than imagined. There are many people who want to obtain the bracelet. Faced with so many killers competing, there are simply too many people and too few jobs for this type of mission orders.

At the same time, it is not easy to successfully complete an assassination. Some people get the bracelet by chance, and instead of becoming killers, they set their sights on their peers.

Use the information in the mission list to contact the person to be assassinated in advance and ambush the assassin with him.

The benefits that can be obtained are related to the Shadow Bracelet.

As the Shadow Building's power grew and its reputation spread, it also attracted countless attention.

The Shadow Bracelet, one of the organization's iconic tokens, and its unique functions, as well as the news that the bracelet can be exchanged for precious spiritual objects, have spread quickly and become widely known.

Whoever gets this item can refine and use it as they please, and after the previous owner of the Shadow Bracelet dies, the Shadow Coins in the bracelet will not disappear. Whoever gets it will own it.

The Shadow Tower has always only recognized bracelets and not people. Anyone who holds a bracelet can transform into one of its members and use it to exchange for all kinds of precious and rare supernatural treasures.

Because of this, this treasure has become like a pass. With it, the holder can not only exchange for natural treasures that are beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators, but may even change the trajectory of his destiny and rise to prominence.

For those idle monks with an uncertain future and no place to stay, this mysterious shadow bracelet has become a ray of hope and a rare opportunity for them to move towards a higher realm.

For these reasons, the Shadow Bracelet has become a hot commodity, and there are many people who have killed and plotted for the bracelet.

But the Shadow Tower doesn't care about these things at all.

After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Song Ren couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and fearful. He became more careful to conceal his true identity and strength to avoid being exposed or attracting the attention of others.

After he took on the task, he used the detailed information on the list to come to the Xiao family's sacred place where Xiao Fei was.

He used the limited time left on the mission to gather intelligence about the Xiao family to ensure that this mission was not a trap.
