"Sending 10,000 catties of fish back to the gang will earn at least 200 taels of silver in extra revenue. That's at least 400 taels of silver in total. It's really tempting."

Stepping out of the room, Ma Sandao looked on with envy and said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei remained silent, unsure whether Ma Sandao was speaking to him on purpose or simply envying the junior manager who was earning extra income.

He also knew that if a junior manager couldn't make a lot of money managing the entire fishpond, no one would want to stay there forever. But Ma Sandao had told him that the junior manager, Li Fengyun, was almost always here, so he must be making a lot of money managing the fishpond.

However, he knew in his heart that this had nothing to do with him.

After all, this is one of their sources of income. As a disciple who came here to do a mission, he shouldn't concern himself with the little steward's ways of earning extra income.

As the sun set and the sky gradually darkened, Lin Xiaofei rode his horse towards the outside of Hongshan Bay.

This time, upon arriving at Hongshan Shuiwan Fish Pond, he first registered at the mission location, and then got to know the inner disciples he would be doing the mission with.

After learning about the specific tasks, he knew that the task would take a lot of time, which meant that he would have to stay at Hongshan Shuiwan Fish Pond for a while. Therefore, he needed to go back to his own compound and give some instructions to his servants to take good care of his compound.

As he rode his horse out of the Five Rings Mountain, he noticed a group of more than ten people gathered in the woods in the distance.

Lin Xiaofei glanced at them from afar and saw more than a dozen young disciples dressed in inner sect robes, each with a sword at their waist. These people were all inner sect disciples of the Qingfeng Gang, which caught his attention.

He discovered that the young inner disciples had surrounded two inner disciples and given them a severe beating, and it seemed they had also stolen something from the two disciples.

"We're all fellow disciples, why are we stealing from each other? Doesn't anyone in the sect care?"

Lin Xiaofei glanced over and saw several inner disciples beating up two other inner disciples, which made him a little suspicious.

In the past few days, he also learned that there were some strange things going on within the Qingfeng Gang. The inner disciples were fighting amongst themselves, and some inner disciples were even seriously injured, but no one cared.

Nowadays, most of the inner disciples of the sect travel in groups, as if they are afraid of being beaten by someone or having their belongings stolen by their fellow disciples.

Fortunately, on the surface, the disciples in the gang were all very polite, and no one did anything excessive.

Otherwise, Lin Xiaofei was genuinely worried that he would be ganged up on and beaten up if he entered the gang.

In recent years, the territory of the Qingfeng Gang has gradually expanded, while the gang leader has been cultivating alone in seclusion in the back mountain of the Qingfeng Gang. The affairs of the gang, big and small, are managed by several elders, which has led to the formation of factions within the gang.

Some disciples within the sect fight amongst themselves, either for cultivation resources or because of grudges between factions.

Lin Xiaofei glanced at it, didn't think much of it, and quickly rode his horse towards Canyon County.

As soon as Lin Xiaofei returned to the gate of his courtyard, a maid named Xiaoyue rushed forward and said with a smile, "

"Young master, you're back! Shall I have Aunt Zhu make you a midnight snack?"

"OK."

Lin Xiaofei nodded and strode towards the guest rooms in the front yard.

After entering the guest room and sitting down, a maid named Xiaohong quickly poured a cup of tea from a teapot and placed it on the table next to Lin Xiaofei.

Lin Xiaofei picked up a cup of tea, smelled it, and took a deep breath. He immediately felt a refreshing tea aroma enter his nostrils, which made him feel relaxed and refreshed.

Lin Xiaofei smiled, feeling that it was really comfortable to be waited on like this.

After having a late-night snack, Lin Xiaofei instructed his servants to go and rest. Then, he went alone to the pavilion in the rockery in the backyard, sat on a stone stool, and admired the silvery moon reflection on the surface of the fishpond.

A moment later, Lin Xiaofei remembered something, took out a porcelain bottle from the spatial bead, and poured out a pill.

"Bone-Forging Pill".

Lin Xiaofei looked at the pill in his palm and took a deep breath.

Despite his young age, he possessed the peak of the entry-level realm and his strength had reached that of an inner energy martial artist. However, he knew that he did not have any amazing talent; he simply relied on consuming herbs from the spatial bead to accelerate his cultivation.

If he were to cultivate martial arts like any other martial artist, he would most likely only be an outer disciple, and with good luck, he might have the opportunity to become an inner disciple.

It was only because the black soil of the Space Pearl could grow herbs with special effects that his martial arts training speed seemed so fast, which made others think he was a genius with amazing talent in martial arts.

Now, his strength far surpasses that of other martial artists at the same level.

Looking at the Bone Forging Pill in his hand, Lin Xiaofei thought to himself, "If this pill can improve my martial arts aptitude, then that would be perfect."

He believed that once he took the Bone Forging Pill, his aptitude would improve significantly, allowing him to cultivate martial arts faster and increase his strength more quickly.

"Just how much will this Bone Forging Pill improve my martial arts aptitude?"

Lin Xiaofei muttered to himself, and without hesitation, he put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

In an instant, the Bone Forging Pill generated a surge of heat within the abdomen, rapidly flowing towards the muscles and bones throughout the body, gradually improving their condition.

"Ah, that feels so good!"

Lin Xiaofei looked on with enjoyment, feeling a warm current constantly penetrating his muscles and bones, which were also rapidly absorbing this warm current. He immediately felt waves of tingling and refreshing sensations throughout his body.

"For those who practice martial arts, the focus is on the muscles and bones. The longer the muscles and bones grow, the faster one can practice martial arts, and the greater the power of the martial arts will be."

Lin Xiaofei couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Time passed second by second, and the heat lasted for nearly half an hour before it began to gradually disappear.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofei felt that his muscles and bones seemed to have become more flexible and longer, and he felt more comfortable all over.

"My bones and muscles have become longer, and I feel like my strength has increased as well."

Thinking about it, it makes sense. My body had already been improved by the Body Tempering Divine Skill, and now it's been further improved by the Bone Tempering Pill, causing my bones and muscles to grow stronger, thus increasing my overall strength.

Lin Xiaofei felt very comfortable throughout his body. He slightly circulated his internal energy, and a surge of immense power welled up within him, stronger than before.

This Bone Forging Pill didn't significantly improve his physical condition, but it did increase his overall strength.

It's important to understand that for most martial artists, improving their physique is a painful process. Without exceptional martial arts talent, the improvement is limited unless they cultivate top-tier techniques, which might offer significant benefits.
