Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The Gobi Desert is sinking, and news of the aphrodisiac liquid in the ancient ruins merging into the underground river quickly spread in northern Jingzhou.

Although Canglang Sect and Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce sent a large number of disciples to occupy various wellheads and ponds, there are still many fish that slipped through the net. Everyone knows that this is a great thing, and ordinary people call it sacred water, which is used by every household. Tibetan.

Canglang Sect and Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce divided their forces into two groups, collecting fairy liquid from the underground river below it, guarding the wellheads and reservoirs that lead directly to the underground river, and searching for privately stored spiritual liquid from house to house. , those who discovered that they were hiding in secret were often exterminated.

For a time, everyone was in danger, and most of them took the initiative to hand over their private possessions.

Tang Ning returned to Niutoushan and found that a dark green spiritual liquid was gushing out from a deep cave in the mountain, mixing with the clear water, and the color was extremely weird.

Jingbei Mansion is not far from Zuoyi County, and Niutoushan is located at the junction of Zuoyi County and Lipo County. But he didn't expect that the green spirit liquid would flow here. He was about to put the pond water into storage. In the bag, he suddenly saw a three-foot-tall round object floating slowly out of the water. It looked like an egg shell of some kind of animal. He quickly picked it up and held it in his palm.

There was just a cracking sound, and the eggshell shattered in his hands. A small head protruded from the eggshell, squeezing it left and right. After a hard struggle, the whole body broke out of the shell.

It was a pure white little snake, only three inches in size. It jumped from his palm to his shoulder, crawled around his neck, and spit out its scarlet tongue from time to time.

Tangning looked at the eggshell in her hand and fell into deep thought. When the eggshell emerged from the bottom of the water, there were two possibilities.

One is an egg laid by a big snake at the bottom of the tunnel, which floats to the surface due to the impact of the spiritual liquid in the underground river.

Both, this eggshell was originally hidden under the ruins, and followed the spiritual liquid into the underground river and drifted here.

If this is the case, then this little snake is most likely a spiritual beast.

Tang Ning thought for a while and decided to ignore it for now. She put a pool of spiritual liquid into a storage bag and returned to the cave to study the efficacy of this spiritual liquid.

He took out a clear dew grass seed from the storage bag, buried it in the ground, poured some of the ghostly green liquid from the dry well, and waited for a long time, but the clear dew grass seed showed no change.

At first, he thought that the amount might not be enough, so he poured some more, until he poured as much as a copper basin. The spiritual fluid soaked the area around one foot, but no change was seen.

It seems that it is not a matter of quantity, he thought to himself. At night, he poured some spiritual liquid into the Qinglu grass seeds.

For a period of time after that, he stayed at home and concentrated on studying the effects of this spiritual liquid, pouring some spiritual liquid in the morning, noon and evening every day.

After half a month, the seeds of Qinglu grass finally sprouted.

Tang Ning looked at the bud and held her chin in deep thought. The little white snake was swimming around his neck. The little guy was extremely energetic and tireless. It circled around him all day long, either on his neck or on his neck. Wandering between arms.

Sometimes Tang Ning took the trouble to grab it and put it on the ground. It immediately jumped up and jumped into the palm of her hand.

Obviously, this little guy is definitely not an ordinary white snake. Ordinary snakes do not have such energy, nor can they have such leaping power at such a size. There is no doubt that it is a spiritual beast, and it is most likely something sealed in the ruins. .

Because there is no precedent for the existence of spiritual beasts in the Xingang land, there have never been any signs of demonic snake activity in Niutou Mountain.

He has been working in the herbal medicine department for more than 20 years, and he knows the growth cycle of clear grass very well. Generally, it takes about two months for clear grass seeds to sprout. Now it only takes half a month to grow. It should be this ghostly green spirit liquid. effect.

This spiritual liquid does have the effect of catalyzing vegetation, but compared with the green spiritual power in one's own body, the effect is vastly different.

As for the grass and trees outside that have been soaked in spiritual fluid, it is easy to explain. The grass and trees have no spiritual power, so the effect is significant. Just like the green spiritual power in one's own body, the higher the grade, the stronger the spiritual power concentration of the elixir and spiritual grass. The weaker.

Just one Qinglu grass couldn't explain anything. It would take more comparisons. Tang Ning took out various medicinal herb seeds and buried them in the ground. He poured the spiritual liquid on them every day and observed their changes.

While he was intoxicated with soul fluid research in the cave, Canglang Sect and Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce were searching the counties in northern Jingbei, especially Zuoyi County. Almost the entire county was razed to the ground, every household was driven away, and the old man was carried on the wild road. After Fuyou escaped from Jingbei, the Canglang Sect and the Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce sent people to guard each intersection and search one by one. Anyone who was found to be hiding the spiritual liquid would be exterminated at every turn.

For a time, corpses were everywhere in the land of Jingbei. This lasted for about a year. The two families dug up and down the ground in Jingbei and searched for them, and finally left.

On the second day after Canglang Sect and Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce left, Qianyizong and Baoxing Chamber of Commerce arrived and took over Jingbei territory.

Tang Ning was practicing in the main room with his eyes closed. A transmission note floated in front of him. He opened his eyes and took the transmission note. He knew that Zhao Bao was coming and left the cave.

"Tang Immortal Envoy, your noble sect Zhou Mao has arrived and is waiting for you in Jingbei Mansion." Zhao Baoying stepped forward and said

Zhou Mao came in person? Tang Ning was slightly startled, knowing that there must be something important, so she drove the flying sword to the mansion with Zhao Bao.

"Are the people from Canglang Sect and Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce still in Jingbei?"

"All of them were evacuated the day before yesterday. Today, several Dharma boats from Guizong and Baoxing Chamber of Commerce came to take over their manpower."

Tang Ning returned to Jingbei's mansion, but she saw that the mansion was in a dilapidated state, with huge potholes and broken walls everywhere, creating a desolate scene.

"People from the Canglang Sect have come here to search before, but they haven't had time to renovate it yet," Zhao Bao said.

Tang Ning nodded, feeling quite emotional in his heart. Along the way, he saw that the land of Jingbei was in a state of chaos. There were people dying of hunger in the wild, corpses were everywhere, and the county and city were also in ruins.

Fortunately, Canglang Sect still calls itself the authentic sect of Xuanmen. Such behavior is no different from bandits and thieves in the world. The so-called Xuanmen is just the law of the jungle.

"Tang Immortal Envoy, Senior Zhou is in the hall." Zhao Guang came forward and said

Tang Ning walked quickly to the inner hall and saw Zhou Mao sitting on the main seat, with two disciples, Gao Huan and Zhou Wen, standing behind him.

"Disciple Tangning has met Master Uncle Zhou." He quickly stepped forward and saluted.

Zhou Mao nodded with a smile on his face: "This time we excavated the ancient ruins, your intelligence was meritorious. The sect specially ordered me to come and announce the order. The bitter cold in Jingbei is not good for practice. You should not stay any longer and go back to the sect." ! There will be another reward from the sect later.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Huan stepped forward and handed him a piece of paper, which read: Tang Ning, a disciple stationed in Jingbei, has made meritorious service by reporting intelligence. In consideration of the bitter cold in Jingbei, he is transferred back to the mountain gate to report on his duties.

The seal of Qingxuan Palace is stamped underneath.

"I don't know who will take over as the chief of Jingbei. Disciple heard that the sect has sent people to Jingbei, but why is that ghostly green spirit liquid?"

Zhou Maodao: "Of course I came here for the spiritual liquid. The sect sent me to take over the post of chief of Jingbei."

Tangning was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Zhou Mao would be the one to take over the post of head of Jingbei. How could this be possible? With his level of cultivation...

But after thinking about it, I immediately understood the key. Due to the existence of the ghostly green spirit liquid, Jingbei is now a hot spot. Of course, it needs a person with a decent level of cultivation to guard it.

Although the Canglang Sect and the Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce have been searching here for more than a year, some of the spiritual liquid flowing into the underground river always slips through the net. Even if only a small part is left, it is enough to feed the Qianyi Sect.

"I dare to ask my uncle, what is this green spiritual liquid? It actually has the effect of catalyzing the growth of vegetation."

"This green spiritual liquid is called Lingxian Liquid. It is a rare treasure in the world. It is a liquid formed by the long years of precipitation in the land of beautiful spiritual veins, absorbing the essence of the sun, moon, vegetation, and the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins. Its essence It is a plant essence with strong spiritual power, which can promote the growth of plants and trees, and its spiritual liquid is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. "

Tang Ning's heart moved. This spiritual liquid was divided into different levels. Could it be that the green spiritual power in her body was a higher level of ghostly green spiritual liquid, but it had just changed from liquid to gaseous state?

"I wonder what grade the spiritual liquid that is so active in Jingbei belongs to?"

"What the ancient ruins hide is the original ecological aphrodisiac elixir, which is naturally low-grade. To sublimate it into a mid-grade, a large amount of low-grade elixir needs to be obtained through refining and purification. The same is true for high-grade elixir. After refining and purification, the elixir has a catalytic effect on vegetation. It’s not the same thing.”

"Uncle Master, I have often heard people mention in recent years that ancient ruins are buried under the desert Gobi. What exactly are these ancient ruins?"

"Ancient ruins refer to the ruins left by ancient monks during the Great Tribulation. They generally contain more important materials."

"The catastrophe, is it the invasion of monsters?"

"There are different opinions on what kind of catastrophe it is. It is said that every catastrophe will completely destroy an era of cultivation. Whether it is a monk or a great demon, all practitioners will fall into a state of stagnant cultivation. It is said that after the catastrophe, the entire spiritual energy of the world will change. It is extremely rare, so there are rumors that the catastrophe is a disaster sent by heaven to punish the monks for destroying the spiritual things of heaven and earth uncontrollably. Only when the spiritual being knows its faults and works hard to improve can the spiritual energy be returned.”

Catastrophe? This was the first time Tang Ning heard about this matter. People are subject to birth, old age, illness and death. The pursuit of immortality by monks is inherently contrary to nature. Naturally, they have to plunder the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth. If this is really a punishment from heaven, what is the meaning of immortality with so many monks pursuing immortality throughout the ages.

Zhou Mao saw that he was silent and said: "There are countless mythical legends in the practice world, and they may not be true. It is useless to think about it. You can still concentrate on your own practice. You have been doing well in Jingbei these years. Although you are here, Even though we are in a remote place and our spiritual energy is thin, we have not delayed our practice. After returning to the sect, we must intensify our practice and strive to establish the foundation as soon as possible.”

"Yes." Tang Ning responded. He had reached the ninth level of Qi refining two years ago. If he could break through the ninth level when he was transferred back to the sect this time, he would be able to prepare for foundation construction.

"If there is nothing else, just pack up and set off! You don't have to worry about the handover of Jingbei affairs."

"yes."
