Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Wait, Senior Brother Tang, sit down first, don't be anxious! I haven't finished speaking yet!" Ren Zizi pulled him to sit down again and served wine to the two of them.

"Is it possible that Junior Brother Ren has a way to help me use 150,000 spirit stones?"

"To be honest, 150,000 high-grade spiritual stones is not a small amount, but if I have to risk my face to borrow it, I guess there should be no problem."

"Then thank you so much, Junior Brother Ren. If there is an opportunity in the future, Tang will definitely repay the favor."

"Senior Brother Tang, the fact that you came to me means that you are at the end of your rope. I guess you won't be able to find any close friends when you walk out from here. If you have a more suitable candidate, just pretend that I didn't say this. . Here I am! There is indeed a way, but I have to declare in advance that I can’t take out the money. I can only lend it to others as a guarantee, and you have to pay the interest rate according to the rules.

"That's no problem. As long as I can get the money within three days, the interest rate should be paid according to the rules."

"In that case, without further ado, let's set off now!"

The two of them left the cave and the light rose. Tangning followed him and asked, "Junior brother Ren, who are we borrowing from here? Are they the brothers in the column?"

"Not everyone can borrow 150,000 high-grade spiritual stones. I don't have the ability to borrow so many at once."

"Oh? Who are you going to find, Junior Brother Ren?"

"I know there is a gambling house owned by the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce. The person in charge is an acquaintance of mine. I will act as a guarantee and borrow 150,000 yuan from them. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Tang Ning nodded. He naturally knew that many gambling houses in the spiritual world were also involved in lending business, but not everyone could borrow money. In principle, items of corresponding value must be used as collateral, otherwise it would be difficult to loan out spiritual stones.

The two of them left the mountains and fled for most of the day, arriving in front of a majestic and majestic shop in a nearby city.

This is the gambling house opened by the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce. It is different from ordinary local gambling houses. Each room here is specially made and there are no gambling tables in the hall.

"Senior, what are your orders?" A beautiful-looking woman came forward.

"I want to see fellow Taoist Zhong Liang, please introduce me."

"Senior, please wait a moment, let this junior report." The woman turned around and left. After a while, she came back and invited them into a stone room above the attic.

"Brother Ren, long time no see. How are you?" Sitting inside was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, wearing the clothes of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce. When he saw the two people entering, he stood up to greet them with a smile on his face.

"Brother Zhong, I have something to ask of you today. You won't do anything to help me, right?" Ren Zibing was not polite to him and sat down on his own. It seems that the two of them are quite familiar with each other.

"If that's the case, I don't have any reason to refuse my brother's request. Just tell me! Why are you looking for me this time?" Zhong Liang said with a smile.

"This is my senior brother Tang Ning. He's been a little short of money recently and would like to borrow 150,000 high-grade spiritual stones from you." Ren Zizi said straight to the point without hesitation.

"One hundred and fifty thousand high-grade spiritual stones? This is not a small sum. I wonder what fellow Daoist Tang pledged it as collateral?"

Before Tangning could speak, Ren Zizi said, "If I want something as collateral, do I still need to come to Brother Zhong? Let's put it bluntly! I, Senior Brother Tang, am not short of money, but I am in urgent need of a big sum of money recently." It cost a lot of money, and I couldn’t afford it for a while, so I found your department. We don’t have any collateral, but I can be his guarantor. Brother Zhong, you won’t refuse to give it to me!”

"Haha, it's easy to talk. Now that Brother Ren has found me, I should do my best. But for such a large loan, I really can't make the decision. I need the boss's nod. Let's do it! I'll take you over and fight with him. Hello."

"Oh well!"

The two of them got up and followed him to another room, where an old man with gray temples sat. They introduced each other and then sat with the host and guest.

The old man's name is Cui Hao, and he is the head of the gambling shop here. He said: "Under normal circumstances, we will not borrow money without collateral. However, with the identities of the two Taoist friends, since they came to the door , we can make an exception.”

"Let's do this! For the sake of fellow Taoist Ren, within ten years, fellow Taoist Tang only needs to repay 200,000 yuan, which is enough to make him a friend. But if the time limit is exceeded, we will charge an annual interest rate of 20%. , I wonder if fellow Taoist Tang can accept it?”

"Okay." Tang Ning thought for a moment. With more than 20,000 high-grade spiritual stones every year, it shouldn't be a big problem, so she nodded in agreement.

"Well, please, fellow Taoist, sign this contract!"

Cui Hao pulled out several pieces of paper from underneath, and Tang Ning signed and stamped them accordingly.

Ren Zi also signed the corresponding guarantee contract, and the two took the spirit stones and left here.

"Junior Brother Ren, thank you very much this time, otherwise I really don't know what I would do."

"Hey, it's just a little effort. There's no need to be polite, Senior Brother Tang. Let's have a drink and I'll congratulate you on your upcoming appointment as the deputy captain of the alliance."

Tang Ning couldn't refuse, so she followed him into the mansion. The two drank and chatted until late at night.

The next day, he visited the stewards of each column and delivered the spiritual stones to his disciples, including Bai Jintang's share.

The personal relationship is one thing, the rules are another.

After finishing all the errands, he returned to the cave. Just as he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, there was a knock on the door.

After the stone door was pushed open, a pale-faced man came in, bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to my uncle."

This person was the disciple he selected after he was promoted to brigade inspector, named Mo Fan.

After the Jingyue Sect led the Xuanmen of Donglai County to attack Tianyan Mountain, he escaped with his life and later joined the coalition army. His cultivation level has also gradually increased over the years. Now he has reached the Golden Elixir Great Perfection and can attack the Nascent Soul Realm at any time.

"What's up?"

"Disciple heard that you are going to take up the post of deputy captain of the fifth regiment."

"Oh, you are quite well informed!"

"This disciple just learned about it after hearing what Master Yuan Zixin said."

"You came just in time. I was just about to talk to you. How about it? Would you like to go to Xuantang City with me or stay here? It's up to you."

"Of course my disciple is willing to follow my uncle."

"Well, when I get to work there, I'll take you over!"

"Thank you, Master, uncle. Disciple will retire."

Mo Fan looked happy and retreated.

…

Xuantang City, Tianniu Mountains, at ten o'clock at noon, the sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky. Two rays of light shot down, revealing the figures of two people. It was Tang Ning and Ning Ziyuan who had come all the way from Yuanxian County. Two people.

The Tianniu Mountains are the same as usual, with little change. The green trees cover the sky and the sun, and are lush and green.

When he left the alliance, he was just a small captain. Now he has changed and returned again as the deputy captain of the alliance. It can be said that things in the world are constantly changing.

Not long after, the light curtain melted to create a gap, and the two people's figures flashed into the inner room.

In the alliance meeting hall, when Sima Nianzu came in from the outside and saw Tang Ning sitting inside, he couldn't help but be startled even though he was a well-educated man who always kept his emotions in check.

He never expected that Tang Ning would advance so quickly. In just over a hundred years, he would advance from the late Nascent Soul stage to the middle stage of Divine Transformation.

"Disciple pays homage to Master Uncle Ning." After a brief moment of confusion, Sima Nianzu quickly recovered his shock and stepped forward to bow to Ning Ziyuan, who was sitting in the main seat.

"No need to be polite, sit down!"

"Yes." Sima Nianzu responded and sat down.

As time went by, several more people came in one after another, all of them familiar faces, including Qin Jin, the former manager of finance, Xu Yuan, captain of the fourth brigade, Tao Yuan, captain of the second brigade, and Yan Min One, including Xu Mengyuan and former Third Brigade Inspector Han Fu.

Since the official appointment of the Fifth Wing has not yet been issued, the Wing is still in a semi-paralyzed state for the time being. All the Spirit Transformation monks in the Wing are concentrated in the Tianniu Mountains waiting for new job appointments.

Among these people, Sima Nianzu, Qin Jin, Xu Yuan, and Tao Yuan are all members of the older generation.

Yan Minyi, Xu Mengyuan, Han Fu, and Tang Ning belong to the new generation of team managers.

"This time I was ordered to announce the appointment of the management staff of the Fifth Wing by the column." Ning Ziyuan turned his hand, took out a stack of articles, and read one after another: "After the decision of the column, the Fifth Wing is ordered to Former Inspector Sima Nianzu takes over the position of Captain of the Fifth Regiment."

"Order Qin Jin, the steward of the Fifth Wing, to take charge of the supervisory duties of the Fifth Wing."

"Tang Ning of the directly affiliated wing is asked to take over the position of deputy captain of the fifth wing."

"Ask Xu Mengyuan, a disciple of the Fifth Regiment, to take over the position of steward of the Regiment."

"Order Han Fu, a disciple of the Fifth Regiment, to take charge of the management of the Regiment."

"The former stewards of the Fifth Regiment, Xu Yuan, Tao Yuan, and Yan Minyi, still hold the posts of stewards."

"This resolution has been approved by the column and reported to the legion and sect. Anyone who has any objections can submit a letter to the column, legion and sect."

After Ning Ziyuan said this, he handed all the articles to Sima Nianzu and passed them on to everyone for viewing.

"After this war, Donglai County is in dire straits. It requires the concerted efforts of all the people in this department to restore its former prosperity. Now that the appointment of the commander of your unit has been issued, you must make the unit operate normally as soon as possible. The top priority is to agree on the appointment of each brigade. The stewards and team leaders will be put in place as soon as possible.”

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Ning Ziyuan said some words of encouragement before leaving the hall. Everyone sent him outside the hall. They saw him fleeing away and returning to the inner room. Sima Nianzu went to the main seat and sat down, and said: "Column Now that the appointments have been issued, we need to decide on the appointments of each brigade as soon as possible. I have decided to officially start the selection of brigade managers in ten days.”

"In addition, the affairs of each department must be quickly grasped. I propose that Junior Brother Xu Yuan should also serve as the captain of the Fourth Brigade, Junior Brother Tao Yuan should also serve as the Captain of the Second Battalion, Junior Brother Xu Mengyuan should concurrently serve as the Captain of the First Battalion, and Han Fu Junior Brother is also the captain of the third brigade, Junior Sister Yan Min is also the captain of the direct brigade, Junior Brother Tang is also in charge of personnel, and Junior Brother Qin Jin is also in charge of finance."

Everyone had no objections and nodded.

"All brigade managers and team members must be settled within a month, and all resource jurisdictions must step up construction. All destroyed spiritual veins must be replanted with elixirs and herbs, and spiritual mines and other resources must be excavated. Previously and The various cooperative businesses of the Chamber of Commerce and the Family need to be resumed, and everything must be restored to normal operation before the end of the year.”

………

Sima Nianzu arranged various affairs in an orderly manner. The discussion lasted for two or three hours before it ended. Everyone left the hall and left.
