The Realm of No Worries is vast. Lan Hua wandered around for several days before finally seeing a city called Fu Rui City.

Furei City was more like a tribe than a city; it lacked tall city walls and everything seemed extremely simple.

Although the Celestial Realm is the place where celestial beings ascend to heaven, it still retains a strong human flavor.

Many Celestials started trading in Furui City, making this so-called Furui City more lively than other places in the Celestial Realm.

Lan Hua wandered around the city for a while but couldn't find a suitable business to return to.

Just then, seeing another stall ahead with nothing on it, Lan Hua felt it was somewhat reliable and quickly went over.

The stall owner was an elderly man who appeared to be quite old, but his actual age was unknown. He seemed somewhat deep and unfathomable, and was resting with his eyes closed.

“Brother, do you need any special services?” Lan Hua whispered in his ear.

The old man opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Young man, what services can you provide?"

Lan Hua made a beheading gesture and transmitted her voice, "A service to silence witnesses!"

The old man was startled and sprang to his feet, his eyes filled with horror.

"Young man, you just ascended here, didn't you?"

Lan Hua nodded, "Yes!"

"Young man, being an assassin in Tianyu is against the rules. The Tianyu Management Committee explicitly prohibits this kind of service, and there are dedicated personnel to crack down on the assassin industry. I advise you to change careers!"

"You can do whatever you want in the mortal realm, but once you come to the Heavenly Realm, if you violate the rules, you'll be thrown into the Desolate Heaven!"

"Tianhuang?"

Lan Hua was very interested in this Tianhuang, and after inquiring about it, she learned that the so-called Tianhuang was the desolate area outside the Tianyu.

The desolate wilderness is equivalent to an undeveloped, primitive celestial realm, and a large part of the place where many celestial beings live today was opened up by the Dantian Emperor.

In other words, the current Heavenly Realm was founded by the Dan Tian Emperor.

As for Tianhuang, it is located on the edge of the Chaos Zone, where the natural environment is extremely harsh.

Those celestial beings who are thrown into the desolate wilderness rarely manage to come out alive.

Seeing that the old man didn't need the silencing service, Lan Hua continued to walk around. He refused to believe that there were no people in the Heavenly Realm who needed this service, even if they were in secret.

"Brother, do you need me to kill someone for you?" Lan Hua asked bluntly.

The surrounding celestial beings were all startled, then looked at Lan Hua with strange curiosity. The person who had been questioned was startled and quickly said, "I wouldn't dare, go find someone else!"

"What's there to be afraid of? They're all celestial beings, why are they so afraid?" Lan Hua muttered as she left.

"Brother, do you need me to kill someone for you?" Lan Hua asked directly again from his stall a hundred feet away.

The stall owner was somewhat overweight. Upon hearing this, he was taken aback at first, then glanced at Lan Hua and revealed a look of disdain.

"With your strength, which is not even at the True Rank, you dare to engage in murder? Don't you even take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror?"

Lan Hua was not angry. She smiled and said, "The way of an assassin is not as simple as you think. Crossing borders to kill is a common occurrence for assassins!"

The obese stall owner nodded slightly, clearly finding some truth in what Lan Hua said.

"Unfortunately, the Heavenly Realm forbids the buying and selling of assassins, so I advise you to give up on that idea. However, if you really want to earn spirit stones, you might as well try my job!"

Lan Hua responded with an "Oh," and asked curiously, "What kind of job?"

The obese stall owner chuckled, "While the Heavenly Realm forbids assassin services, it doesn't forbid hunting. Would you like to be a hunter?"

"hunter?"

Lan Hua became interested; if she couldn't be an assassin, she could try something else.

What are we hunting?

"Black Ancient Bird!"

The obese stall owner said, "This Black Ancient Bird is a ferocious beast from the Heavenly Realm. It is inherently cruel and unruly, and it eats people on sight. It is a great enemy of the Heavenly Realm."

"The higher-ups of the Tianyu Management Committee hate the Black Ancient Bird to the bone, but this bird has one remarkable feature: its amazing reproductive ability."

The management committee had tried to strangle the black-necked birds several times, but failed to eradicate them completely, so they gave up on strangulation and instead proposed a hunting plan.

"A generous reward awaits anyone who successfully hunts the Black Ancient Bird, so would you like to be the hunter?"

Lan Hua nodded and said, "This is indeed a task. By the way, aren't you a rogue cultivator? What's your relationship with the Heavenly Domain Management Committee? You seem to be acting like a middleman."

The obese stall owner chuckled, "I just have some connections with the management committee, but I am definitely a legitimate rogue cultivator."

"If you hunt just one ordinary Black Ancient Bird, I'll give you a thousand mid-grade spirit essences. How about that? Pretty good, right?"

Lan Hua snorted, "That's quite a lot, not a small amount!"

The obese stall owner gave a thumbs-up and said arrogantly, "That's right, you don't even know how famous I am in Furui City, I'm a household name!"

"I'm afraid you, as the middleman, are making even more profit from the price difference, aren't you?"

The overweight stall owner chuckled, "It's just a little bit of hard work fee!"

After further inquiries, Lan Hua learned that the obese stall owner was named Wang Bo, and that he had a fellow disciple who worked as a low-level employee in the Tianyu Management Committee, which was why he was able to obtain such benefits.

Lan Hua then asked, "Where can we find this Black Ancient Bird? Should we use a teleportation array?"

He was thinking that if he needed a teleportation array, he might as well borrow some spiritual essence from this fat man and teleport directly to the Pill God Palace, which would save him time.

Wang Bo waved his hand, "We don't need a teleportation array. Black Ancient Birds can be found in our Worry-Free Realm."

They have always preferred to frequent the northwest of the Worry-Free Realm, a place sparsely populated and where celestial beings are prone to wandering alone!

"Understood. See you in a few days!"

Lan Hua flew rapidly in a northwest direction.

According to Wang Bo, Black Ancient Birds exist in most parts of the Heavenly Domain, but there are more in the areas inhabited by independent cultivators. After all, Black Ancient Birds are not stupid and know that those major sects and aristocratic families are not to be trifled with.

After flying for two days, Lanhua arrived at a desolate mountainous area where birdsong could be heard occasionally.

"Hmm? This place is full of desolate mountains and forests. Judging from the birdsong, this must be the place Fatty Wang was talking about!"

Lan Hua didn't know much about the Black Ancient Birds. She only knew that the birds were all black except for their red beaks, but she knew nothing about their strength.

Just in case, Lan Hua immediately gripped the Yuehua Bow, both to make it easier to shoot targets and to protect herself.

The deeper they went into the mountains and forests, the clearer the birdsong they had heard became, so Lan Hua simply chased after the birdsong.

Sure enough, in a canyon, Lan Hua saw a large black bird, about ten zhang long, perched on a cliff, feasting on its meal.

The large black bird looked very similar to the Black Ancient Bird, and it was exactly what Lan Hua was hunting.

"Luckily, we got one so quickly!"

Lan Hua gathered powerful Yuan energy in her right hand, and the bowstring and the invisible arrow took shape together. The invisible arrow emitted an extremely strong armor-piercing arrow aura.

Just as Lan Hua was about to shoot, a hundred-foot-long blade of energy suddenly slashed down from the sky, and it did so without a sound.

"Hmm? Someone made a move. Could it be another hunter?"
