Bai Ziyue paused slightly and continued saying, "I plan to leave the Sunburst Gang and depart from Wujiang County." "What?" Even before Jiangg Tao could speak, the expressions of the Grand Elder, Xu Changchun, the Hall Master of Internal Affairs, Qin Yu, and others changed. "You have rendered great service to our Sunburst Gang. If it were not for your intervention this time, we wouldn’t even be able to talk about whether our Sunburst Gang could surpass the Nine Seals Sect. I myself might have already died at the hands of that Di Family Immortal Cultivator." "You now say you want to leave. Where does that leave me, Jiangg Tao? Where does that leave our Sunburst Gang?" Jiangg Tao took a deep breath, finally decided, and continued saying, "How about becoming the Vice Gang Leader? If you stay, you will be the Vice Gang Leader of our Sunburst Gang in the future." "Not to mention a high position and weighty authority, but at least prosperity and wealth, and a worry-free life." Xu Changchun, Qin Yu, and others opened their mouths but eventually said nothing. Bai Ziyue’s performance in this battle against the Nine Seals Sect was indeed too stunning. Even if many people could see that he was relying on the power of talismans, and perhaps his own strength was not that strong. But just being identified as an Immortal Cultivator was enough to eliminate countless criticisms. A position as Vice Gang Leader was not entirely unacceptable. "The gang leader was too polite. However, I am truly not too interested." "I have already decided to leave Wujiang County and travel outside and probably won’t return for a long time, so I won’t take up this position." Bai Ziyue shook his head, speaking. Long ago, he had had thoughts about the whole world. But limited by strength, coupled with the fact that the outside world was indeed fraught with dangers, he could only hide in a corner, staying in Qinghe Town, staying in this Wujiang County. Now his strength was not weak, an early-stage Second-Class Expert, Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation... Perhaps not top-tier, but it already gave him some confidence to face the dangers of the outside world. Additionally, it must be mentioned that Wujiang County was still too small. If he wanted to continue to improve his strength, reach Martial Arts Innate and Immortal Technique Enlightenment Realm, it was almost impossible here. So, leaving was already inevitable. It’s just a matter of time. "I understand that your status is different, and an Immortal Cultivator looks down on Jianghu Gangs, which is only normal. However, I still hope you can take this Vice Gang Leader position. Consider it as a fallback option, how about it?" Jiangg Tao tried his best to persuade. "In that case, I will accept it graciously. However, I will only hold the title in name and not manage affairs." Bai Ziyue remained silent for a while and finally agreed. Though he wasn’t too worried, he remembered that his family and parents were still within the jurisdiction of Wujiang County. Having this identity was also a form of protection for them, so he no longer refused. ... The sky had completely darkened. Perhaps the bloody turmoil of the day had made even the heavens unable to bear it. A torrential rain descended at night. Bai Ziyue stood under the eaves, casually lighting a stick of Dharma Incense. Calm Spirit Incense! Under the potent influence of Calm Spirit Dharma Incense, Bai Ziyue’s originally somewhat excited mood was finally calmed down. *Regarding becoming Vice Gang Leader, Bai Ziyue was not too concerned.* *After all, it was just a nominal position, and he did not want to bind himself to Wujiang County because of it.* *What truly moved him and excited him was the harvest from this battle between the Sunburst Gang and the Nine Seals Sect that belonged to him.* Thinking of this, he hastily took out his Storage Bag; as his Spiritual Power surged, he emptied out all of the harvest from this occasion. Suddenly, a large pile of items accumulated into a heap. Most of them were gold, silver, jewels, and such; at this time, these were dispensable, and he did not pay much attention to them. However, besides gold and silver treasures, there were naturally many good things inside. "Sixty-six Forbidden High-Level Dharma Artifact, Green Light Sword, Sixty-nine Forbidden Defensive Dharma Artifact, Cyan Light Spirit-Avoiding Carpet, Forty-five Forbidden Dharma Artifact, copper bell, a piece of Star Meteorite Iron weighing as much as a thousand and five hundred pounds, a golden paper etched with the mountains and rivers near Wujiang County, and numerous Martial Arts Secret Manuals..." Bai Ziyue counted them one by one. Among them, the Green Light Sword, Cyan Light Spirit-Avoiding Carpet, and that copper bell were items belonging to the Di Family Cultivator of the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation. Because they were struck by a violent storm, these artifacts had some deficiencies in spiritual quality and needed nurturing or repair by others to restore their powerful effects. As for the Star Meteorite Iron, it was of great value, but he hadn’t considered how to utilize it yet. After playing with a few Dharma Artifacts for a while, he threw them into the Storage Bag. "Next is this golden paper." "This is the eleventh piece of golden paper I’ve obtained." "There is only one final piece remaining until I collect all twelve." Bai Ziyue stared at this golden paper, examined it for a few moments, and then stacked it together with the other ten. "The last piece of golden paper is inside the Government Court. With my identity, unless I forcibly break in, it’s extremely difficult to obtain." *Therefore...*" *He contemplated briefly, and had some plans in mind.* "Following that are these cultivation technique secret manuals." "Complete Nine Seals Palm, Six Yang Technique, Snake Dragon Eight Strikes... Just the harvest from these cultivation technique secret manuals is significant for me." "Even if I don’t practice it, just using it as a reference would greatly enhance my Martial Arts experience." Bai Ziyue perused the Nine Seals Palm, a legendary secret skill of the Nine Seals Sect he had long heard about and been curious about. Seeing it now, especially the last three techniques, it opened his eyes and deepened his understanding of its intricate elements. "However, for me, the biggest gain from this is actually my Soul Energy." After a while, Bai Ziyue stored away all these Martial Arts Secret Manuals, then turned his gaze to his Attribute Panel. Name: Bai Ziyue Martial Arts Realm: Second-class Expert Inner Strength: 22,024 Immortal Technique Realm: Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation Spiritual Power: 30,056 Martial Arts: Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill Perfection, Golden Bell Shield First Layer, Purple Mansion Creation Technique Eight Extraordinary Meridians Chapter Martial Arts Techniques: Perfect Overlord Saber Technique... Immortal Technique: Seventh Layer of Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique Technique: Perfect Talisman Technique Magic: ...Blood Coagulation Skill Introduction, Sunrise Swordsmanship Introduction, Hundred-Step Wave-Treading Skill Introduction Soul Energy: 292,524 "Over 290,000 Soul Energy points are enough to significantly boost my strength again." Bai Ziyue felt a surge of excitement within his heart. *As he had mentioned to the Gang Leader and others earlier, he planned to leave Wujiang County soon.* *But being just a Second-class Expert might make him someone noteworthy in Wujiang County, yet in Celestial Spirit County or even the entire Wuu Kingdom, he would seem trivial.* *Even with his Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation Stage in Immortal Technique Realm, it was still the same.* "The stronger my abilities, the higher my survival chances. Although temporarily boosting on the battlefield is exciting, emergencies can occur unexpectedly, leaving no time to enhance. If things go wrong, there’s a risk of falling. Moreover, if tomorrow goes well, that’s fine but if not, I must prepare to break into the Government and seize the golden paper. The stronger I am, the more assured I will be." *With these thoughts in mind, Bai Ziyue shifted his gaze to a few cultivation techniques.* "Now I’ve already cleared two mystic meridians in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians Chapter of the Purple Mansion Creation Technique, with six remaining, each requiring 30,000 Soul Energy points, totaling 180,000 Soul Energy points. And promoting the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique from the Seventh Layer to the Eighth Layer needs 190,000 Soul Energy points too. By this calculation, I would need at least 370,000 Soul Energy points to raise both techniques by one level." After considering with a furrowed brow, Bai Ziyue felt a bit disheartened. *He thought that his increase of 290,000 Soul Energy points was bountiful, yet compared to what was required for realm advancement, it still fell short.* "Indeed, for me, Soul Energy is never enough." Bai Ziyue sighed, yet didn’t hesitate too long and soon came to a decision. "Spending 191,234 Soul Energy points will elevate the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique to the Eighth Layer." "Enhance!" *After pondering for a while, he ultimately chose to enhance his Immortal Technique Realm.* *Because only with an elevated Immortal Technique Realm can the power unleashed by his magic rapidly escalate, which would significantly boost his overall strength.* Instantly, he felt countless insights about the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique pouring into his mind. *Meanwhile, the Spiritual Power within his body surged rapidly, as though it were cultivated through countless lifetimes.* As his Dantian expanded and his aura compressed, the Spiritual Power became more condensed and unified. At that moment, it even showed signs of blending together. "Reached the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation Stage now. *Perhaps when I attain the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation Stage, this Spiritual Power will fully merge and begin to vaporize?"* Bai Ziyue pondered silently, secretly looking forward to it. Then, he glanced at his Spiritual Power count, realizing it had surged to 60,000 points, doubling since before, making him feel even more thrilled. He took a deep breath, using the Calm Spirit Incense to regain tranquility. "Soul Energy is down to 100,000 points, what should I enhance next?" After some contemplation, Bai Ziyue decided against elevating his Martial Arts Realm. So... "Spending 21,586 Soul Energy points can elevate Sunrise Swordsmanship to Perfection!" "Enhance!" Without hesitation, Bai Ziyue chose to enhance immediately. Suddenly, Bai Ziyue found himself with profound insights into the Sword Control Dao and Sword Control Technique, along with Spiritual Objects.
