Abby's group learned that soldiers' payments were made in the first five days of each month. The payment was made for all ranks these days, but those with the highest position in the army had preference over the payment order.
But this was only a small benefit for the strongest cultivators in the army. No one felt bad about it, as it made some sense to them. After all, the higher the level of an individual, the longer it takes to train!
On the other hand, the number of soldiers in the 5th and 4th stages of cultivation was not significant, so these individuals didn't generate absurd waits for the other soldiers either.
And for now, given the absence of banks in the Dry City, there was still no virtual financial system, which would allow payments made through cards or civil identification. Because of this, these soldiers still needed to receive physical compensation for spiritual crystals.
