Upon entering the main compound, Lin Xiaofei, guided by an outer disciple, quickly arrived at the gate of a large courtyard, which was the Inner Affairs Hall.
Upon entering, Lin Xiaofei saw a huge room filled with numerous bookshelves.
There was a large counter, and inside the counter stood a middle-aged man, the junior manager, who was talking to an inner disciple.
The inner disciple noticed someone behind him, namely Lin Xiaofei. He immediately ended his conversation with the steward, stepped aside, and began to organize the books on the bookshelf.
After glancing at it, Lin Xiaofei took a few steps forward and went to the counter.
"What brings you here?" the steward asked.
"I am Lin Xiaofei, an inner disciple of the Qingfeng Gang branch in Qingshan Town. This is my inner disciple token. I am here to receive the reward for winning first place in the martial arts competition of the Qingfeng Gang branch."
As he spoke, Lin Xiaofei took out a token from his pocket and handed it over.
"So it's the Qingfeng Gang branch, the number one martial arts champion among the young disciples."
After glancing at the token, the junior manager flipped through a thick book of documents, carefully comparing it with the token. Then he checked the information recorded by the head of the gang, found Lin Xiaofei's information, and said with a smile.
"In a small place like Qingshan Town, to win first place in the martial arts competition, you are indeed a very outstanding disciple."
However, with your average late-stage strength, if you were to engage in a martial arts battle at the Qingfeng Gang headquarters, you probably wouldn't even rank in the top 100.
After checking the token, the steward said with a smile.
He believed that there were at least two thousand martial artists of average late-stage strength like Lin Xiaofei in the main gang, if not a thousand, and there were even quite a few average peak martial artists. Lin Xiaofei could win first place in martial arts in a small place, but that would be impossible in the main gang.
Lin Xiaofei nodded, agreeing with the steward. He already knew that among the young disciples of the inner sect of the main sect, there were many top-tier experts and even experts in internal energy. If these people were put into a martial arts competition in Qingshan Town, it would be quite difficult for him to win first place.
However, he was now concerned about his reward, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked directly:
What is the reward for the first place winner in the martial arts competition?
"One Bone Forging Pill and one thousand taels of silver."
You are an inner disciple from a branch of the Qingfeng Gang. According to the gang rules, you also need to complete a task, which is also a test for you.
The tasks of the general gang are divided into single tasks and multi-person tasks. The reward for single tasks is generally no less than one hundred taels of silver; while the reward for multi-person tasks is hard to say, since there are many people, the silver is probably less than fifty taels of silver per person.
Of course, what I'm saying is in general terms.
Among the tasks issued by the Internal Affairs Hall, tasks such as planting herbs, raising animals and birds, and escorting timber are relatively easy and can earn a lot of money. These tasks are usually done by inner disciples.
"If there are any large-scale missions, you inner disciples will receive preferential treatment from the sect and can earn more money. It's something to be envied."
As he spoke, a hint of longing appeared in the steward's eyes.
Fortunately, he has now been promoted from an ordinary inner disciple to a junior manager. Compared with young inner disciples like Lin Xiaofei, his status is slightly higher, and he has his own way of making money.
"A thousand taels of silver is nothing to me, but a Bone Forging Pill is quite attractive."
Lin Xiaofei's eyes lit up, a little excited, and he thought to himself.
This Bone Forging Pill is said to be a kind of elixir that improves the physique of the human body. It can greatly improve the physique of an ordinary martial artist, and there is even a very small probability that it can transform an ordinary person into a martial arts prodigy.
If someone is a martial arts prodigy, their martial arts aptitude will be further enhanced after taking the Bone Forging Pill, and their speed of martial arts training will be even faster.
Back in Qingshan Town, he had heard that the Bone Forging Pills refined by the General Manager were distributed once every five years, and were only awarded to talented young inner disciples.
This kind of pill can only be taken by three people, and taking more will have no effect. Many young disciples in the inner sect cannot even get a single Bone Forging Pill.
Therefore, this Bone Forging Pill is a very precious elixir.
At the same time, according to his understanding, even if a Bone Forging Pill were priced at five thousand taels of silver, people in the gang would scramble to buy it.
The Bone Forging Pill can greatly improve a person's martial arts aptitude. Even people with average martial arts aptitude will have the opportunity to cultivate to the Inner Qi Realm after taking this pill.
Of course, a young disciple who can obtain the Bone Forging Pill is at least a martial arts prodigy. After taking the Bone Forging Pill, he can also buy many other pills with a thousand taels of silver. With these cultivation pills, he can also cultivate into an expert in internal energy.
As for the steward saying he needed to do a task, and that there would be a silver reward for completing it, that's a good thing.
However, solo missions are generally quite easy and earn a good amount of silver. As soon as these missions are posted, they are quickly snatched up by inner disciples, or if someone has a good relationship with the person in charge of posting the mission, the person in charge will give the mission directly to an inner disciple.
Thinking back to when they were in Qingshan Town, Guo Zishan had a strong desire to win first place in the martial arts competition. This was probably not only for the reward of first place, but also for the mission from the main gang. After all, doing missions in the main gang was a relatively quick way to earn cultivation resources.
"Your identity token is from the Qingfeng Gang branch. Now that you've come to our main gang, you need to exchange it for a main gang identity token. Only then will you be considered a member of the main gang."
Here you go: this token, a Bone Forging Pill, and a thousand taels of silver.
As for whether I'll assign you a solo task or a multi-person task, I need to think about that carefully. After all, you've only just joined the General's Guild, and you should at least get familiar with the environment first.
Of course, even if I assign you a task now, you'll have to wait three days to do it. This is the head of the gang's way of taking care of the disciples from the branches.
The tasks I have right now are all tough jobs with low rewards, so I'm not in a hurry to assign them to you.
Come back to me in three days to receive your mission.
The manager handed the reward to Lin Xiaofei and said...
Lin Xiaofei took the items and said with a smile, "
Okay, I'll come back in three days.
The junior manager said he was full of tedious tasks. If the other party assigned him a task now, he really wouldn't want to take on any tedious tasks, as they were usually time-consuming and laborious, and the rewards were relatively small.
The junior manager said he didn't know much about the main gang and was unfamiliar with many places, which was true. If he rashly accepted the task now, it wouldn't be a good thing for him.
"I don't know if the steward will assign me a solo task or a task that I do with others in three days. I hope he will assign me a solo task."
However, single-player missions are in high demand, so I guess it's unlikely I'll get one.
"Forget about that for now. I'd better learn about the main gang first. But it would be best to find someone to explain the main gang to me."
Lin Xiaofei thought to himself as he walked towards the main gate of the inner hall.
He remembered that his master had once said that he had two senior brothers in the main gang. Perhaps he could go and find his senior brothers to explain the situation of the main gang to him.
