Ji Yizong was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Supreme Profound Upper Yang Sect. After being easily defeated while competing for the position of a True Disciple, he had no choice but to serve in the Northern Army Governor's Mansion, seeking a sliver of a chance at Core Formation.
If he stayed in the Sect, an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple like him would be bogged down by mundane affairs just to earn resources for cultivation. Among those who could truly succeed in Core Formation, not even one in a hundred made it.
Coming to the Northern Army Governor's Mansion, however, offered a generous stipend and opportunities to earn merit, increasing his chances of Core Formation by ten or fifteen percent.
