Although the medicine garden was not connected to the official road, there was a trade path of similar size intersecting and extending deep.

Bai Ziyue rode a rented thin horse, gradually approaching the Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden.

At this moment, he could already see the scene of the medicine garden. It was surrounded by a long wooden fence, and inside, nearly every certain distance, there were one or two herb farmers meticulously tending to various medicinal herbs.

Occasionally, one or two disciples dressed in either Inner Sect Disciple or Outer Disciples attire of the Sunburst Gang could be seen wandering around.

As Bai Ziyue rode the horse closer, he naturally attracted their attention. A slightly delicate-looking young disciple approached, greeting, "Brother, what brings you here?"

Getting off the horse, Bai Ziyue cupped his fists slightly and said, "I am Bai Ziyue, I have taken up the position of Guard Leader at Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden today and have come to report in."

"Guard Leader?"

The young Martial Artist showed a look of surprise. Bai Ziyue’s age looked younger than his own, yet he was directly appointed as a leader. It should be known that he himself was currently just a mere guard.

However, despite his surprise, he did not dare to be negligent and quickly cupped his hands in response, "Greetings, Leader Bai. I am Wang Erniu, a guard at the medicine garden. You can call me Erniu, I am under your command."

"Brother Erniu, as I am new here, who is in charge of the Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden? I need to first conduct a handover to officially take on my duties."

Bai Ziyue said politely.

"I have nothing to do right now, so I will take Leader Bai there."

Wang Erniu said enthusiastically, hurrying forward to help lead the horse, "Currently, the Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden is managed by Manager Zhang Yong, but Manager Zhang generally stays in the city and rarely comes to the garden, so actually, it is Steward Li Yunfeng who manages the entire garden.

Leader Bai just needs to report to Steward Li Yunfeng later."

As Wang Erniu spoke, he led Bai Ziyue into a building.

The entire building was made of bamboo, with the ground floor raised about one meter, and it had two stories, occupying a sizable area.

Entering it, some herb farmers could be seen selecting some harvested Cloud Heart Grass, Pihong Roots, and other herbs.

"Steward Li, this is our new Guard Leader."

Wang Erniu introduced enthusiastically.

"Bai Ziyue, meeting Steward Li. Here are my appointment plaque and identity token."

Bai Ziyue handed both the appointment plaque and identity token over.

"Outstanding disciple?"

With a surprised raised eyebrow, Li Yunfeng then said, "I don’t care what your status is; in the medicine garden, you must follow the rules of the garden.

As the Guard Leader, if there is any trouble concerning the safety of the garden, don’t blame me for turning hostile and causing you trouble."

"I will perform my duties well."

Bai Ziyue responded.

"Steward Li, the three thousand catties of herbs that Shopkeeper Xu requested have been processed."

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a herb farmer walked in and said.

"Inform Li Si to deliver them quickly."

Li Yunfeng said, and then told Bai Ziyue, "Go about your own business."

"Three thousand catties of herbs, at least three hundred taels of silver, the profits are indeed substantial."

As they left the bamboo building, Wang Erniu said with a look of envy.

"Just do your own duties well."

Bai Ziyue glanced at Wang Erniu, wondering if he was genuinely blunt or intentionally provoking, saying this for him to hear, just responded lightly.

He knew well that managing a medicine garden, without special supervision, would indeed involve substantial profits.

But knowing was one thing; he did not intend to meddle.

Because the entanglements within were certainly enormous, not something an outsider who had just arrived could handle.

...

As the sky darkened, Bai Ziyue rode his horse swiftly towards Wujiang County.

His visit to the Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden was just to familiarize himself with the environment. In the coming ten days, he needed to be stationed at the garden, so he had to return to get some spare clothes.

The rented thin horse was not fast, and it took Bai Ziyue more than ten minutes to approach the city gate gradually.

After all, it was a county town, and even though it was getting late, there was still a long queue of people waiting to enter the city.

Apart from traveling merchants and farmers, there were also some Jianghu heroes.

Among them, he spotted several carts filled with herbs, with Li Si walking alongside, shouting at some herb farmers pulling carts to move faster. If the pace slowed, the whip in his hand would lash out.

In the Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden, Bai Ziyue had seen how humble Li Si was before Li Yunfeng, but he didn’t expect him to be so ruthless in front of others.

But since it didn’t concern him, he didn’t pay much attention, instead cast his eyes on a group of strong men in tight outfits who caught his attention.

These men held swords and other weapons, with mud on their shoes, and their clothes had some tears. Their eyes flickered with seeming vigilance.

"Their attire looks like disciples of the Nine Seals Sect? But isn’t the Nine Seals Sect’s mountain gate at the other exit?"

This thought flashed through Bai Ziyue’s mind, but he didn’t give it much thought.

The Nine Seals Sect was the only force in Wujiang County that could contend with the Sunburst Gang. He had previously investigated and knew that the south city direction was the Sunburst Gang’s territory, and the Nine Seals Sect rarely approached.

In the northern part of the city lies the area governed by the Nine Seals Sect, which the Sunburst Gang rarely approaches.

This is because, while within the city the government maintains order and neither side dares make any reckless moves, outside the city, it’s highly likely to resort to foul play.

A single mountain forest cannot accommodate two tigers.

The conflict between the two factions has gradually intensified in recent years, and almost everyone in Wujiang County speculates that these two major forces will inevitably clash soon.

...

As night fell, many wealthy families hung lanterns in front of their homes. Even some relatively poor families had faint candlelight shining from their houses.

Bai Ziyue returned directly to his residence, and the two waiting maids, Little Tao and Little Cui, cheered, "Young Master is back."

"Young Master, I’ll ask Aunt Zhao to prepare dinner."

Little Cui said smartly from the side.

"Hmm."

Nodding slightly, Bai Ziyue entered the living room.

Little Tao hurriedly served tea and refreshments, placing them on a table next to Bai Ziyue.

He picked up the teacup, took a gulp, and a look of comfort appeared on Bai Ziyue’s face.

After overcoming his initial discomfort with having someone serve him tea, he rather enjoyed it.

After dinner, instead of returning to his room directly, Bai Ziyue stood on the Observation Platform for a while, watching the night.

In the distance, boats drifted across Boya Lake, their lanterns creating a beautiful scene. The faint sounds of singing from female entertainers and laughter of men and women reached Bai Ziyue’s ears, causing a peculiar expression to appear on his face.

He soon descended from the Observation Platform and went directly to his room.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Ziyue took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his pocket.

"Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill!"

Without much hesitation, Bai Ziyue opened the porcelain bottle.

To many, Bai Ziyue appeared quite young with extraordinary strength, and having become an outstanding disciple in the gang, his potential seemed limitless, undoubtedly a martial arts prodigy.

But Bai Ziyue knew that his innate talent was not as impressive as others imagined.

He estimated that he was merely somewhat better than the average Inner Sect Disciple, but far from being a genius. His martial arts talent was not comparable to the White-clothed Swordsman Chen Qingyun, and he was inferior to most of the outstanding disciples in the gang.

It was solely the special power of the Attribute Panel that had rapidly elevated his strength to the current level.

This enabled him to lead by leaps and bounds, far surpassing those so-called geniuses in strength.

Therefore, Bai Ziyue valued this Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill highly.

Because this pill might speed up his martial arts entry level and rapidly enhance his strength.

"I wonder how much this Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill will increase my talent."

With this thought, Bai Ziyue poured the pill out and swallowed it in one go.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill dissolved immediately upon entry.

Instantly, a special force was triggered from the pill, attaching itself to Bai Ziyue’s bones and slowly permeating them.

"Hiss..."

Bai Ziyue gasped, feeling a burning sensation mixed with a unique coolness coursing through his bones.

Soon, he sensed his bone marrow quickly absorbing this special force, refining and strengthening it bit by bit.

"Human bone marrow is the mechanism for producing blood.

So this is how it works; the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill refines bone marrow, indeed enhancing my blood production, naturally increasing my martial arts speed."

In an instant, Bai Ziyue had an epiphany about the effects and principles of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

A full half-hour passed before the burning and cool sensation completely disappeared.

By now, a fine layer of blood-red impurities had oozed from Bai Ziyue’s body.

These were the blood impurities expelled by his power while the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill refined his marrow.

"There is indeed some enhancement.

However, perhaps because my strength far surpasses that of ordinary peers, the effect is not as remarkable as the Alchemist described."

As Bai Ziyue felt his marrow surging with new blood, turning into a surge of Qi and blood, he made some assessments.

This Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill works best the younger and weaker one is.

Now that he had reached the Inner Cultivation Limit, the effect was slightly diminished.

Even so, Bai Ziyue felt that his growth and recovery speed of Qi and blood had increased to some extent.

At least a tenth more than before.

This improvement was decent enough for him.
