Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In Donglai County, where the 10th Army Corps was stationed, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the cave, holding the crystal core in his hands, cultivating the true yin energy.

There was a sudden knock on the door outside the house. He opened his eyes from his trance, took a breath of cold air, took the crystal core in his hand, waved his hand, and the stone door opened.

A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came in from the outside, bowed and said in salute: "Master, uncle, Senior Shang Daoxian has come to pay homage and is waiting outside."

"Invite him in."

"Yes." The man responded and left.

Not long after, Shang Daoxian arrived at the main room and bowed: "Junior pays homage to Senior Tang."

"No need to be polite, please take a seat. Fellow Taoist Shang must have something to do when you come here this time!" Tang Ning said with a smile.

As the saying goes, there are only three things. Shang Daoxian did not elaborate on the previous two visits. This time, his face was solemn. I guess it was not for casual conversation and friendship.

"Senior, please forgive me. I do have something I would like to ask for your help."

"I said, as long as it is within my ability, I will never refuse."

"Thank you, senior. In that case, I will speak frankly. I actually have a business to ask senior to take care of. I wonder if senior can get some monsters for me?"

"Monster?"

Shang Daoxian said: "Yes, please let me tell you in detail. The biggest business of our house has always been refining spiritual wine and spiritual food, and now my uncle is taking care of this family affairs. Since the demon took over Since Mubei, the sources of monsters have been unstable, and our business has been greatly impacted and has been going downhill."

"During the previous Qingzhou War, our entire family, old and young, retreated to Tianquan County with the coalition forces, which resulted in the destruction of all the industrial sites for refining spiritual wine and spiritual food. Although the coalition forces later won a great victory, our government returned to Zuozong County. , and regained those industrial lands, but because the chamber of commerce that we had been cooperating with before we withdrew from Luzong County, we switched to cooperating with other families. "

"In addition, some important partners died or were injured during the Qingzhou Civil War, causing our government's original largest business to plummet. In recent years, our government has been restoring the supply and refining of spiritual wine and spiritual food. However, due to the lack of monster channels, Stable, so not much improvement.”

"The junior came to see the senior this time, actually on the order of my uncle, hoping to reach a cooperation with the senior. I hope the senior can provide our government with a stable channel for monsters in the future. As for the income, our government guarantees that we will not lose money to the senior. I don’t know what senior’s intention is?”

Tangning tapped her thigh with her fingers, thoughts racing in her mind.

No wonder Shang Daoxian gave him a huge gift of Xu Refining Pills when he first met him. He was so generous with his initial cultivation level of incarnation. Now everything is in order.

There is no doubt that everything behind this is planned by the businessman. Taking advantage of the intersection between the two in the Qingzhou coalition, he first sent pills to make friends and cling to him, and then proposed cooperation matters to provide a stable source of monsters for his family.

The merchant is the leading family in Zuozong County and has a certain influence in the entire Donglai County. Of course, they did not choose him because of his position as the deputy captain of the team at that time. They must have known about his relationship with Nangong Muxue and wanted to You have to get in touch with the senior officials of Taixuan Sect through yourself.

"Fellow Daoist Shang, does your being sent to Yuanxian County have something to do with this? Let's put it this way! Was your government's original channel taken away by the Sima family, so you were sent to Yuanxian County to win over those people? Come back." Tangning asked. After he said this, he immediately thought that this matter might be related to the Sima family.

In recent years, the power of the Sima family has greatly increased, and the industry has expanded rapidly. The sales of spiritual wine and spiritual food have also skyrocketed. They have successively launched several high-quality new spiritual wines, which are very popular and have almost monopolized the entire Yuanxian County. market, and also has considerable competitiveness and influence in several other counties.

Since Shang Daoxian's uncle is a high-level person in charge of the spiritual wine and spiritual food industry, the purpose of his appointment in Yuanxian County is obvious. It must be to seize the market from the Sima family.

Shang Daoxian nodded and said: "Senior is very aware of everything. Yes, I went to Yuanxian County to take up a post just on my father's order to find out the details of the Sima family."

"Senior knows that most of the monster beasts in Qingzhou come from Mubei. Due to the hostile relationship between Mubei forces and Xuanmen and aristocratic families, the Demon Sect forces in Mubei dare not sell monsters to Xuanmen or cultivating families. They only deal with Chamber of Commerce Cooperation.”

"Therefore, the source of most monsters is in the hands of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce. Before the civil war in Qingzhou, the Liu family signed an agreement with the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce. They can obtain monsters from the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce and then distribute them to all the practicing families in Donglai County."

"The head of our family has a close relationship with the Liu family's senior management in charge of this matter, so we can get more resources from the Liu family."

"But after the civil strife in Qingzhou, the Liu family was destroyed, and our government cut off the source of channels for monster beasts. Since the Sima family had contacts with the senior officials of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce in charge of spirit beasts, they replaced the Liu family and signed an agreement with the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce. In this way They have a stable channel for monsters, so our government’s spiritual wine and spiritual food industry plummeted, and they quickly rose up and replaced us.”

"I see." Tangning smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can't help you with this. I'm only in charge of a column, so how can I provide a stable channel for monsters to your house? Fellow Taoist, you'd better hire someone else!"

"Senior Tang, why should you be too modest? No one in the army knows about your relationship with Senior Nangong. With your connections in your sect and your rapid advancement in cultivation, sooner or later you will occupy a place in your sect. Aren't you able to capture some monsters? "

"Fellow Taoist Shang, I am very grateful for the Void Refining Pill you gave me, but there is really nothing I can do about this matter. Yes, my wife is indeed the disciple of the Nangong steward, but your house wants to use me as a bridge to convince my wife to respect the master. I’m afraid it’s a miscalculation to provide your house with a channel for monsters.”

"Senior, I have misunderstood. How dare I disturb Senior Nangong over this trivial matter? The collaboration mentioned by this junior is only between my father and senior, and has absolutely nothing to do with other people."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Tangning was a little surprised: "How can we collaborate with your father? I don't have the ability to provide monsters to your house."

"Nowadays, the Mubei demons are launching a massive attack, and there are plenty of opportunities. Your column leader, Senior Su Yuanhua, has a close relationship with you. If you can convince him to hand over the corpses of the monsters on the battlefield to our government for disposal when we face the Mubei demons in the future, we will The government will definitely not treat you and Senior Su badly."

"No one can say anything about what happens on the battlefield. Let me think about it."

"Senior, if you are interested, you can inform me at any time."

Tangning nodded calmly: "I will keep this in mind and we will talk about it later depending on the situation!"

"Yes, I will stop disturbing you and leave first." Shang Daoxian saw that he wanted to end the conversation, so he stood up and left.

After he left, Tang Ning thought for a while and then left the cave. Not long after, he arrived at Su Yuanhua's mansion and was taken straight into the main room by his disciples.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and he expressed his intention: "I am bothering Senior Brother Su this time because I have something I want you to decide on."

"what's up?"

"It's like this. During the civil strife in Qingzhou, I rescued a coalition monk. This man is a son of a merchant in Zuozong County. He is currently working in the headquarters. His uncle is a senior executive in the merchant's monster industry chain. He just found him. I expressed my intention to cooperate. If there are corpses of monsters killed by our team in the future, I would like to hand them over to the merchant. "What does Senior Brother Su mean?"

Su Yuanhua raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling, and his eyes swept over him with profound meaning: "Have you agreed?"

"Of course not. Things are changing on the battlefield. Who knows what will happen? Our headquarters may not have the opportunity to carry out a mission alone to fight against the Mubei demon. I have sent him away. I am just here to report the situation to you."

"Who is the name of this businessman you are talking about? In which department does he serve?"

"This person's name is Shang Daoxian, and he serves as a steward in the fifth regiment of the sixth column of the headquarters."

"Has he seen anyone else besides you?"

"I didn't ask much about this."

"I will consider this matter, and we will decide based on the situation at that time! You know that I am not the only one who has the final say regarding the column."

"I see."

"I heard that junior sister came here again a few days ago?"

"Yes, she was worried when she heard that the Mubei demons were invading again. She stayed here for a while and has now returned to Yuxiang Mountain."

"Master said that Junior Sister once approached her and wanted to transfer you to the city guard team. Do you know about this?"

"My wife has told me."

"Is this what you mean?"

"No, my wife and my respected master didn't discuss it with me when they mentioned it. They told me afterwards."

Su Yuanhua's sharp eyes seemed to see through him: "What do you think?"
