Unknowingly, the merchant ship docked.

Bai Ziyue, carrying a bulging beast hide bag, led a small dog off the ship by its leash.

It took a while for the dog to regain its composure and its steps became stable and agile again.

"Wujiang County!"

Standing by the port, Bai Ziyue looked around. The dock here was at least ten times larger than the one in Qinghe Town. The dock was bustling with robust men unloading goods, streams of vendors, and in the distance, rows of houses of varying heights, closely packed together.

After a brief orientation, Bai Ziyue quickly found himself on a wide street.

The ground was paved with blue stones, wide enough for four carriages to pass. On both sides of the road were wooden lofts and shops, their doors wide open to welcome guests, with signboards of varying ages hanging above them.

The bustling crowd was elegantly dressed, their faces radiant, unlike the impoverished, numb-faced folks of Qinghe Town.

Carriages streamed by on the wide road, their decorations faintly visible, all luxurious and grand.

It was lively and prosperous.

A mere casual comparison revealed the differences between Wujiang County and Qinghe Town.

Without lingering on the street, Bai Ziyue, who had already inquired about the location of the Sunburst Gang Headquarters, soon arrived at the gate of a large courtyard by the street.

Even from the outside, it was eight or nine zhang wide, with the buildings behind stacked together, the grand hall standing firm, and disciples clad in Inner Sect uniforms with swords frequently passing in and out.

Each of these disciples was tall and walked briskly, their demeanor vastly different from the Inner Sect disciples of Qinghe Town.

Even their strength...

Bai Ziyue’s spiritual eye technique flashed, quickly confirming that most of these disciples had profound qi and blood, at least at the External Forged Bone Marrow level, some even at the Peak of External Forging, and among them were also those engaged in Inner Cultivation.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Ziyue stepped inside.

Indeed, the inner courtyard was even more spacious than the outer courtyard.

In a massive training field, some disciples were practicing martial arts. Among them, two youngsters wielding wooden sabers were sparring. Though they appeared to be in their early teens, their power surged as they moved, their saber techniques fierce, their shouts sharp and powerful.

Zen Meditation Stance Great Success, and the strength to start External Forging.

Bai Ziyue’s gaze narrowed, thinking that Wujiang County was indeed much stronger than Qinghe Town. Such talented disciples in Qinghe Town might even be taken as apprentices by martial artists of manager level.

But here, they seemed to be just ordinary Inner Sect Apprentices.

Led by a miscellaneous disciple, Bai Ziyue entered a side hall.

Internal Affairs Hall.

The function of this Internal Affairs Hall was roughly the same as in Qinghe Town, also issuing tasks for disciples to receive.

However, this time Bai Ziyue was here to report in, so he soon entered a room.

"Name? Place of origin? Identity in your local area?"

"Bai Ziyue! From Qinghe Town, Inner Sect Disciple of the Qinghe Town Sunburst Gang Branch. Here is my accompanying token and documentation."

As Bai Ziyue spoke, he handed over his token and the documentation he had especially transferred from the Internal Affairs Hall.

"Outstanding disciple?"

Seeing the token and the records on the documentation, the steward exclaimed in surprise. Quickly, he stood up and took a thin book from a drawer on the side. Upon cross-checking, he indeed found Bai Ziyue’s name under the list of outstanding disciples.

With a glance, Bai Ziyue also saw several names and identities recorded above.

Wu Junhao, Jiang Yuankun, Su Qiaoling...

These should also be outstanding disciples like him.

"That’s right, I didn’t expect you to be late. If you’d arrived three days later, this identity might have been canceled, and you would have missed out on the rewards.

But Junior Brother Bai, even at such a young age, being able to become an outstanding disciple is indeed remarkable."

After confirming his identity, the steward immediately became much more cordial, smiling and praising him.

"I wonder what rewards I have?"

Bai Ziyue asked curiously.

"One Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, one thousand points of cultivation resources, and an official position treatment.

As an outstanding disciple, Junior Brother Bai can be directly promoted by a level, attaining steward treatment. Even if you do nothing each month, you can still receive a subsidy of thirty taels of silver.

Additionally, for any tasks assigned by the Internal Affairs Hall, such as patrolling, investigating, or guarding, these arduous duties will not fall on you.

Even for large tasks, the final reward you receive will be more than that of regular Inner Sect Disciples."

As he spoke, the steward looked at Bai Ziyue with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Although he was a steward now, he had worked his way up through hardships, far less fortunate compared to Bai Ziyue’s "airborne" status.

"Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill? A thousand points of cultivation resources, and official position treatment..."

Bai Ziyue’s eyes flashed, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.

This Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill is said to be a Spirit Pill that can enhance a Martial Artist’s aptitude for training. Although the effect varies from person to person, it does not truly turn a mediocre person into a genius.

But it can definitely raise one’s talent a notch, significantly shortening the time needed for martial arts training. For a Martial Artist like him, who has yet to cultivate Inner Strength, such a pill is extremely precious.

As for the one thousand points of contribution resources, it is equivalent to a thousand taels of silver. Moreover, due to the gang’s abundant resources, which are hard to find outside, they can be used directly as if they were worth two thousand taels of silver.

Such rewards are undeniably generous.

No wonder there has always been a saying that outstanding disciples will inevitably cultivate Inner Strength before the age of thirty.

To become an outstanding disciple, one’s martial arts aptitude is already good. Coupled with the cleansing from the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill and the assistance of a thousand points of contribution resources, if one still can’t cultivate Inner Strength before thirty, it’s really just because they’re useless.

On the other hand, the job benefits don’t seem to be much help at the moment.

However, for many who aspire to climb the ranks within the gang, this definitely counts as a good thing.

In the future, smoothly becoming a Manager, Sect Leader, Hall Master, or Elder would offer more advantages compared to others.

As the saying goes, every position has its designated person. Some positions can’t be filled just by having strength.

Otherwise, Qinghe Town’s Left Guardian Zhao Jing wouldn’t have specifically run to Wujiang County to make arrangements after Sect Leader Liu Dong’s death.

"This is your new Identity Token. As for the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill and the thousand points of contribution, they will be uniformly distributed at the end of the month, which is in three days, at the Internal Affairs Hall.

At that time, you can collect them with this new Identity Token.

As for your job arrangement, do you want to be assigned now, or would you prefer to come back in a few days?"

The steward handed over a new Identity Token as he asked.

Bai Ziyue reached out to take it. As he did so, a disciple was swiftly engraving something. The hands were light and skillful, the carvings exquisite. Holding it now, he indeed saw the deep and clear characters, giving off a sharp aura.

"Sunburst Gang, Outstanding Disciple Bai Ziyue, from Qinghe Town."

Apart from these characters, there was also a deeply imprinted seal. Only with this seal could he truly gain recognition within the gang.

"I’ll come back in a few days."

Bai Ziyue was moved, understanding that this was the time given for people to pull some strings.

If the connections were solid, the assigned position would naturally be easier and the treatment better. Without connections, only the tough and thankless tasks would be left.

But thinking it over carefully, he indeed didn’t know many people in Wujiang County.

"By the way, Junior Brother Bai, you don’t have a place to stay yet, do you? The gang can also arrange for disciples to live within the gang. It’s in the backyard of the gang.

Although it’s not spacious, it’s surrounded by fellow disciples, and it saves on the cost of renting a house, which is quite convenient. If you need, I can have someone take you there now."

Trying to be friendly, the steward suddenly suggested.

"No need, I have my own place to stay."

Bai Ziyue, upon hearing this, immediately abandoned the idea.

He had too many secrets, and with too many eyes within the gang, it was not his preferred choice as it would be difficult to avoid being noticed.

Besides, he had ample silver. Apart from the five thousand taels given to his parents, he still had four thousand taels with him, enough to buy a rather spacious house in Wujiang County with more to spare.

"The job matter indeed requires some attention. Otherwise, if I’m assigned to tasks that consume large amounts of time and leave no room for martial arts practice, it would be problematic.

But in Wujiang County, I honestly don’t know many people.

Elder Nie Yunhao? Only a brief acquaintance, but would he give this face?

Oh right, besides me, my master also has two other disciples. Fellow apprentices should be able to help."

Bai Ziyue thought to himself as he walked out of the Sunburst Gang’s gate.

A small dog that had been hiding in the grass, always watching the gate, suddenly ran over, letting out a rare whimpering sound.

"So you’re not really an ingrate after all."

Bai Ziyue’s mood lightened considerably at the sight.

All along, this little dog had always put on airs as if it were Uncle Dog in front of him. He had been wondering whether to abandon it, but seeing its aggrieved and fearful expression now, he understood its disposition a bit better.

"Always having this little dog around is quite inconvenient. Besides, I definitely need to find a place to stay myself.

Finding a place to stay should come first."

Looking at the sky, with only a few hours left until dark, Bai Ziyue temporarily set aside the matter of pulling strings. He turned and quickly found a broker.

After spending three hours, he finally selected his place of residence.

It was in a relatively quiet place with clear air, just eight hundred meters away from the Sunburst Gang.

Most importantly, the estate was situated on a relatively high ground, near a beautiful lake, Boya Lake. It even had a specially constructed three-story Observation Platform.

From this platform, he could directly see the sunrise in the distance, which would be very convenient for his cultivation.
