Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"In this case, why not send two more regiments to Rising Sun Mountain together. The Mubei Demon may attack Qianyuan City at any time. Whether it can hold this city is not yet known. Instead of leaving it to the Mubei Demon for its own use, it is better to take advantage of it before attacking. At this time, if more people are involved in mining, it will prevent outsiders from entering the field," Tang Ning suggested.

"I also want to send a few more teams, but I really don't have anyone to send."

"Aren't there still 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th regiments left at the headquarters? How come there is no one to send?"

"These five regiments were all transferred to him by Uncle Wang Jingxing."

"Transfer it to someone else? Could it be?" Tangning realized that there were six spiritual mines in Qianyuan City, and the three stewards of the legion had exclusive use of three spiritual mines. Several other regiments in the column were transferred, and naturally they went to dig in the spiritual mine mountains to which they belonged. Gone to collect spiritual stones.

Wang Jingxing was quite ruthless. He actually transferred all the remaining troops. He was trying to make money from death. He probably wanted to take advantage of the Mubei demon to make a big profit before he launched his attack.

Su Yuanhua changed the subject: "You are solely responsible for all affairs of the Xuri Mountain Spiritual Mine. In addition, Jiang Ziye also recommended a person to assist you in handling the affairs of the Spiritual Mine. This person's surname is Jiang Mingming. I have notified him of his arrival. I will wait for him." You and he will go to Rising Sun Mountain with the 10th Regiment later to take over the spiritual mine affairs."

Tang Ning nodded, knowing that they were worried about her, so they sent someone to supervise.

The direct commander Luo Tianming is a member of the Netherworld Sea Organization and takes orders from the deputy captain Zhu Zhen. Now Jiang Ziye has sent a confidant, Jiang Yan, and he is Su Yuanhua's "confidant". The three parties have thus reached a balance, and there is no need to Worry about lining your own pockets.

The two chatted for a while, until footsteps sounded outside, and a man with a broad forehead and a broad face pushed the door in. He only had the cultivation of the early stage of divine transformation. He saluted Su Yuanhua and said, "Junior has met Senior Su."

"Jiang Yan, you will go to Rising Sun Mountain with Junior Brother Tang and the 10th Regiment later to take over the mining and excavation of the Spirit Mine. From now on, you will assist Junior Brother Tang in handling the matter of the Spirit Mine."

"Yes, this junior accepts the order. If Senior Tang gives you any instructions, this junior will do his best to complete it."

"Senior Brother Su, don't give me any orders, we're leaving now." Tang Ning stood up and said.

"Go!" The two of them left their cave and went to the meeting hall of the 10th Alliance. They summoned everyone from the 10th Alliance and took the Wind Spirit Boat to the northeast outside the city.

After traveling for more than half a day, everyone arrived at Rising Sun Mountain. The entire mountain range was about a thousand miles in diameter, and its central part was shrouded in a cyan light curtain. The warship stopped in front of the light curtain. Tangning turned it over in his hand and handed the talisman inside.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the light curtain in front of him melted away, and a figure flashed out from inside, revealing the figure of a man with a pair of slightly white temples.

"Your Majesty, Tang Ning, has been ordered by our army to take over your defense. Do you know your friend's surname?" Tang Ning went up to him, handed him the Allied Forces identity token, and saluted him.

The man took the token, checked his identity, returned it to him, and said in return: "I am Fang Jun, from the third column of the Second Army. I would like to invite you, fellow Taoist."

The two entered the formation and came to the meeting hall. The guests and hosts took their seats. Fang Jun said: "I have received a notice earlier that your department will be coming to take over the defense of the headquarters. All the files of the spirit mine have been sorted out. , I’ll have someone deliver it to fellow Taoist later.”

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Fang. Your department has worked really hard fighting the Mubei demons over the years. Now that we have been transferred back to Donglai County, we can have a good rest."

While the two were talking, a woman from outside walked in. After saluting Fang Jun, she took out a thick stack of files and handed it to him.

Tangning took the file, flipped through a few pages, and put it aside: "Fellow Daoist Fang, I would like to ask you something about the spiritual mine, and I hope you can give me some advice."

"Fellow Taoist Tang, please tell me. Fang knows everything."

"I heard that your department has to hand over 50,000 spirit stones to the legion every month. I wonder how many manpower your department has and how many spirit stones it can mine every month?"

"I have an entire team here, and the number of spiritual stones every month is no less than 60,000 to 70,000."

"That's a lot of output."

Fang Jun smiled: "What time is it now? The Mubei Demon will attack at any time. Instead of falling into the hands of the Mubei Demon after the city falls, it is better to seize the time to mine it now."

"What Fellow Daoist Fang said is absolutely true. I wonder how your department arranges its manpower."

"Everyone in this department is divided into two groups, taking turns digging day and night, working in ten pits at the same time..."

The two communicated for a long time about the affairs of the Ling Mine until nightfall, and Fang Jun arranged a banquet for him to welcome him. Two days later, all matters of the Ling Mine were handed over, and Fang Jun led his troops to leave the mountains.

…

The top-quality spiritual minerals are wrapped under extremely hard earth and stone. Low-level monks can hardly shake them with magic weapons. Even foundation-building monks use spiritual weapons with very low efficiency. Therefore, the mining of top-quality spiritual minerals is generally done by golden elixir monks. host.

Life in the spirit mine was as peaceful as water, and a few months passed by in the blink of an eye. Tang Ning could basically get two to three thousand top-quality spirit stones from it every month. Although it was not as good as Su Yuanhua's, it was still much higher than his salary.

On this day, as usual, he was sitting cross-legged and practicing in the mansion. There was a knock on the door outside. He opened his eyes from his trance. With a wave of his hand, the stone door opened. A burly man came in from the outside, bowed and saluted. : "Master-uncle, Zhang Xiao asked for an audience outside. He said he came under the order of master-uncle Su."

"Invite him in!"

"Yes." The burly man left in response. Not long after, a white-faced man arrived and saluted: "Disciple, by the order of Master Su's uncle, please return to the headquarters to discuss important matters."

"What happened?"

"It is reported that the Mubei demon who has occupied Yeting City has led his troops to set off. The Wu Xuanting defenders are in urgent need and are requesting support."

After hearing this, Tang Ning couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart. What was supposed to come had come. After the Mubei Allied Forces took over the four cities in Yuanxian County, they took a period of rest and recuperation. This time they mobilized their troops again, and the momentum was definitely huge.

"I understand, you go ahead!"

"Farewell, disciple." Zhang Xiao responded and left.

Tang Ning then summoned Jiang Yan and Luo Tianming. After a few words of explanation, they left the spirit mine and fled all the way back to Tianqing Mountain.

"Senior Brother Su, I heard that the Mubei demon has invaded Wuxuan Pavilion?" In the cave, Tang Ning bowed and took a seat aside. Without much greeting, she asked straight to the point.

"Yes, the Mubei demons stationed in Yeting City have dispatched in large numbers, and Wu Xuanting has been captured by them."

"So fast? When did the Mubei demons move out? How many troops are there?"

"The Mubei Demon's garrison garrisoned at Yeting City came out in full force. Two columns of its forward troops have entered Wuxuan Pavilion. Considering that the troops stationed in Ting City in front were insufficient, there was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices, so they abandoned the garrison directly. . We don’t have many troops at hand, so we are not suitable to waste our troops on garrisoning those insignificant Tingcheng. We can only shrink our defense. Uncle Wang Jingxing has ordered all frontline troops to be concentrated in Huangya Pavilion and Zhangyuan Pavilion as a barrier. Mubei Demon’s first line of defense.”

"Then should I take back the direct alliance of the Spirit Mine?"

"That's why I came to you."

"Okay, I understand. In addition to attacking this city, does the Mubei demon have any other actions during this large-scale dispatch?"

"It is reported that the Mubei demons are attacking from all sides and have sent troops to this city, Xuantang City and Longhua City respectively."

"What about the legion? Have reinforcements been sent?"

"The first and second columns of our headquarters have set off from Guanyue City to support our city."

…

The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. Many warships flying the flag of Mubei were sailing high in the sky. In the cabin of the Leizi ship where the stars were holding the moon, the senior officials of Mubei's third army gathered in a room. The leader was Tiger Eyed Wolf. The waist and body are strong and strong, different from ordinary people.

"Your Excellency, my subordinates have learned that the troops stationed in Qianyuan City have all retreated to Huangya Pavilion and Zhangyuan Pavilion. The strength of the troops is about one column." A woman pushed the door open and saluted.

"I understand, go ahead! Continue to investigate."

"Yes." The woman responded and left. "

The leading man glanced at the crowd: "The Qingzhou Allied Forces only have three columns in Qianyuan City, but they still dispatched one column to concentrate on Huangya Pavilion and Zhangyuan Pavilion. It is obvious that they want to delay our attack time to wait for reinforcements from the rear. "

"Before leaving, the headquarters requested that we take down all the pavilion cities belonging to Qianyuan City. Now Huangya Pavilion and Zhangyuan Pavilion are blocking our way. As the first line of defense for Qianyuan City, we must take them Only after taking it can we drive straight to Qianyuan City."

"I intend to take Huangya Pavilion first, and then Zhangyuan Pavilion. I will send my order to the headquarters and set off to the direction of Huangya Pavilion immediately."

Just as he finished speaking, a person below said: "Master Wuque, I have something to say to you. The enemy did not unite their troops in one place, but divided the first line of defense into two pavilion cities. The purpose was to delay the time. If If we attack one by one, we are playing into their own ambitions. According to my subordinates' wishes, it is better to divide our troops to capture Zhangyuan Pavilion and attack these two pavilion cities at the same time. If you don't mind, I would like to lead my troops to capture Zhangyuan Pavilion."

"Zhang Yuanting said that there is half a column of enemy troops, and there will be support from the rear at any time. Are you sure you can win it?"

"The Qingzhou Allied Forces have been defeated many times and have long been discouraged. My subordinates are confident that they can capture this city. Moreover, if the enemy forces dispatch the defenders in Qianyuan City to support them, my subordinates will lead their troops to attack Zhangyuan Pavilion, which can also reduce the attack on Huangya. Pavilion pressure.”

"Okay." The leading man nodded: "If your army can capture Zhangyuan Pavilion, I will propose to the legion that all the resources in the five nearby pavilion cities will be mined by you in the future."

"Thank you, sir. I will do my best to live up to your high expectations." The man said happily. Zhangyuan Pavilion is rich in resources. It has a top-grade spiritual mine, a fifth-level spiritual vein, and many cultivation resources. This is why he wants to The reason why he volunteered to lead his troops to capture the pavilion was to gain control of the pavilion.

According to the regulations of the Mubei Alliance, whoever captures the territory will control it, and all resources will belong to their unit. This is why they are keen to take on the important task of being a vanguard.

"You don't need your Excellency to go there. I can lead my own troops to capture Huang Ya Pavilion." Seeing the favorable conditions, another column leader couldn't help but feel jealous and immediately responded.

The leading man waved his hand: "There is no need to fight. I will personally lead the attack on Huang Yating. As long as this camp is captured, Huang Yating's cultivation resources will still be mined by your troops."
