"This Cyan Cloud Pill, you should keep it. I’m not like you, a Martial Arts talent standing out. Even if it’s useless now, it will definitely come in handy in the future.

As for me, I don’t have much Martial Arts talent to begin with. Keeping it is just a waste."

Liu Heng spoke slowly.

"Then I’ll take it."

Bai Ziyue’s face turned solemn as he reached out to take it, and said, "If there’s anything you need in the future, feel free to let me know. If I can do it, I will definitely try my best."

This counted as his promise, representing that he accepted Liu Heng’s favor.

Liu Heng smiled and did not say anything further.

*His mind was simple to begin with; giving Bai Ziyue the Spirit Pill was because he truly didn’t need it and didn’t want to leave it to the Sect Leader’s two sons. As for favors, he didn’t care much about them.*

After seeing off Brother Liu Heng, Bai Ziyue’s face showed some tranquility.

*He naturally had no intention of returning it to the Sect Leader’s two sons. Their cold demeanor made him equally displeased.*

When he opened the wooden box, two thumb-sized, crystalline Spirit Pills appeared before him.

"The Cyan Cloud Pill can help martial artists who have cultivated Inner Strength to enhance their cultivation, with extraordinary effects. For me at the moment, however, it’s actually not suitable."

Bai Ziyue put the wooden box away again. He was still far from cultivating Inner Strength.

"But my strength indeed needs to be improved quickly.

Not to mention the Daoist Wutong outside, who now knows that I killed his disciple. Once encountered, he will inevitably target me.

Even within the gang, things were not entirely peaceful."

Bai Ziyue’s gaze involuntarily became deep and profound.

*For three days, he spent most of his time handling his master’s funeral affairs. Despite being estranged by his master’s two sons, he would still do whatever he could. Therefore, he didn’t know much about the affairs within the gang.*

*But even the little he knew made him somewhat uneasy.*

*There were quite a few people within the gang who flattered the high and stepped on the low, and Bai Ziyue could clearly feel the difference in treatment.*

*This didn’t matter too much to him, and he wouldn’t mind.*

*However, the Sect Leader’s position was vacant within the gang, which clearly made some people’s minds restless.*

*Especially the Left Guardian Zhao Jing, who had been very active and engaged in multiple operations recently.*

*He was even absent on the day of his master’s funeral, reportedly going to Wujiang County to seek support.*

*Regarding this, he naturally had some considerations.*

*All these affairs were unrelated to him.*

*His identity as the disciple of the former Sect Leader had no effect on determining the succession of the Sect Leader.*

*But with the return of the Left Guardian Zhao Jing from Wujiang County, some small maneuvers targeting him began to increase, causing him some nuisance.*

*"It’s only about twenty days. If it’s just these little tricks, I’ll endure for now. If it gets excessive, I naturally won’t let go easily."*

Bai Ziyue thought silently, glancing at the Soul-Gathering Banner in his arms.

*He had already planned to go to Wujiang County at the end of the month. Calculating carefully, it was only about twenty days.*

*During this time, he didn’t plan to stir up trouble.*

*However, if the opponent truly became excessive, he might not have much recourse against a person like Left Guardian. But for ordinary Inner Sect disciples or even Stewards within the gang, he had the means to make them feel fear.*

Then, Bai Ziyue didn’t think too much and once more immersed himself in cultivation.

*Since obtaining the Inner Cultivation Technique Vajra Glazed Body, he consistently practiced diligently, hoping to cultivate it to entry level quickly.*

*Perhaps it was his nature, or maybe the environment was genuinely different, but the crisis of insufficient strength constantly enveloped him, making him dare not relax even a little.*

"It should be soon. In these few days of cultivation, I constantly felt the intense beating of my heart, and the supply of Qi and Blood truly strengthened. The distance to cultivating Vajra Glazed Body to entry level should be near."

*Bai Ziyue sensed his body’s condition, noting that his Qi and Blood were even better than the time when he was externally forged and round, feeling secretly pleased.*

In addition to cultivating techniques, Bai Ziyue would spend time secretly pondering the method of power transmission.

Because he knew, true strength of Inner Cultivation Martial Artists lay in the transmission of power, completely different from External Forging.

External Forging Martial Artists had power surging, directly acting in visible attacks.

But Inner Cultivation Martial Artists released power, which could penetrate through weapons, directly reaching the opponent’s five viscera and six entrails, attacking the weaker parts of the enemy’s internal organs.

This was why Inner Cultivation Martial Artists could easily overcome External Forging Martial Artists.

*Perhaps External Forging Martial Artists had exceptional talents, and their power might not be weaker than newly entered Inner Cultivation Martial Artists. But External Forging Martial Artists’ internal organs had not been strengthened. Once power was transmitted in, the fragmentation of the five viscera and six entrails could cause fatal harm.*

Inner cultivation truly could kill invisibly.

Bai Ziyue’s power circulated, smooth and round, pondering this Dharma Technique akin to Air Transmission. Although initially a bit awkward, it was not too difficult.

One reason was that the Inner Cultivation Technique itself described this aspect, and the second was naturally Bai Ziyue’s acquisition of the Heart-piercing Hammer Technique.

The main explanation there was precisely the unique power transmission method of Air Transmission, directly targeting the heart and lung.

Bai Ziyue just pondered carefully and had some insights.

He specifically found some blue bricks, then placed a piece of tofu on top of them.

The power in his body surged and continuously flowed into his arm.

Bai Ziyue punched out, directly contacting the surface of the tofu.

Whump!

A sound reverberated, and the tofu gently shook, with a small piece slightly breaking off.

But the blue bricks beneath the tofu showed a dense web of cracks.

"The penetrating force is still not fully smooth. Only when the power is exerted without damaging the tofu while the blue bricks beneath crumble into pieces would it mean that the penetrating force is completely mastered."

*Bai Ziyue thought silently, feeling a bit satisfied in his heart.*

*He needed to know that at the very start of his training, a punch would shatter the tofu into pieces, but now, only a small piece broke off?*

*And with this level of control over the penetrating force, he had actually surpassed many External Forging of the Five Viscera, even Inner Cultivation of the Six Viscera, Martial Artists.*

All his training completed, it had already been two hours.

Bai Ziyue looked at a pot in which a large piece of meat was boiled until tender, scooped it up, and placed it in front of the puppy.

This meat was from the Snake Demon, containing astonishing spirituality, extremely beneficial to External Forging and Internal Cultivation Martial Artists, and remarkably well-preserved, with no fishy smell even ten days after the snake was hunted.

Bai Ziyue did not eat it himself but gave it all to the puppy. Over time, it was obvious that the puppy had grown much fatter. The broken leg had long since healed, and the puppy was running around the courtyard full of energy.

The only thing unchanged was its silly nature. Even a butterfly flying by could occupy its attention for an entire afternoon. It seemed determined to catch it without giving up.

However, when the butterfly flew out of the courtyard, even though the door was open, the puppy never dared to take a step outside, as if its world was only limited to the courtyard and the room.

As for other changes, there might have been some, but they weren’t obvious, and Bai Ziyue hadn’t spent much time observing them.

After having lunch at a nearby restaurant, Bai Ziyue was about to head home when he saw two disciples from the gang approach directly and say, "Junior Brother Bai, there was a case of defection within the gang, and the Internal Affairs Hall assigned the task to you. You might need to take a trip."

"Defection has always been the matter of the Law Enforcement Hall. When did it become my business?"

Bai Ziyue raised an eyebrow and asked indifferently.

*He naturally knew that this was another small trick from Left Guardian Zhao Jing’s subordinates, or directly under Zhao Jing’s covert hint, targeting him.*

"Generally speaking, it is indeed a matter for the Law Enforcement Hall, but recently, with many affairs within the gang, the Law Enforcement Hall is short-staffed, so..."

The disciple hesitated a bit. Bai Ziyue’s future potential was extraordinary. Unless necessary, he didn’t want to offend him, but he couldn’t disobey orders from above.

"So you put this matter on my head? Do you think I, Bai Ziyue, am easy to bully?"

Bai Ziyue sneered.

"Junior Brother Bai, please don’t make it difficult for us. We are just following orders.

Moreover, there is indeed a rule that gang disciples must complete one task every month.

If it’s an emergency, it can indeed be enforced, and Junior Brother Bai hasn’t taken a task this month yet. Even if you make a fuss about it, it probably won’t work."

The other disciple said with a bitter smile.

"As for tasks, if you just submit 100 contribution points, you can naturally remove them, so don’t use rules against me.

But, exactly what’s the situation? Tell me first, and I’ll decide whether to take it on."

Patting the dust off his clothes, Bai Ziyue said lightly.

*Task assignments might scare some new Outer Disciple or Inner Sect Disciple, but to him, they posed no real threat.*

But since these two were speaking softly, he didn’t want to be too harsh, so he decided to listen to them.

*If it’s straightforward, he wouldn’t mind taking a trip, but if there were any oddities, he naturally wouldn’t risk it.*

"Here’s the situation: Outer Disciple Zhang Guoyi, three nights ago, attacked and killed the old crow Gong Xiue and the flower boat keeper Liuu Qing of the Cuiyue Flower Boat, then escaped through the city gates the next morning.

The task is to track him down, dead or alive."

The disciple quickly handed over the task scroll and spoke.

"Zhang Guoyi?"

Bai Ziyue’s expression changed slightly, as he naturally knew who Zhang Guoyi was.

Zhang Guoyi was not only from the same village but also joined the Sunburst Gang at the same time as him. Only later did they grow apart due to different circumstances.

*He didn’t expect that this task would be related to him.*

"If it happened three nights ago, hasn’t he already fled far? How can he still be tracked?"

Bai Ziyue said calmly.

"Just received news that he was seen returning to his old home in Cloud Leaf Village yesterday, so he shouldn’t have gone too far yet."

The other disciple quickly added.
