Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In a remote mountain forest, two rays of light fell, revealing the figures of Tang Ning and Liu Ruhan.

His mind moved, and his consciousness penetrated into the storage bag of the Tianzhan Sword. Soon, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and Xiao Zhan came out. He held his hands in front of his chest, glanced at Liu Ruhan, and said dissatisfied: "Xiao Zhan Ning Zi, why are you looking for me again? I have already taught you the secrets of practicing the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation, so don’t disturb me."

With her divine soul body, she could not sense any movement outside when she was inside the Heaven-Slashing Sword. She would only be aware of it unless her divine consciousness proactively probed it, or the storage bag received a huge shock during a battle.

Therefore, when Tang Ning and Liu Ruhan talked, they would not shy away from talking about her sometimes, for fear that she would hear them.

If her consciousness was quietly revealed, Tang Ning would be able to sense it.

There was only one situation in which Tang Ning would remove the storage bag containing the Heaven-Destroying Sword and place it in a separate room, when the couple would be in a loving relationship.

"Master Zhanxian, please give me the gourd to use."

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Zhan looked suspicious.

"I thought of a way that might speed up the process of the demon elixir condensing into ice crystals."

Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up: "Really? What can I do?"

"I have a spiritual power that is different from ordinary people, which can catalyze the growth of elixirs. I want to use this spiritual power to irrigate the gourd to see if it can accelerate the condensation of ice crystals."

"Then try it quickly." Xiao Zhan quickly handed over the gourd.

Tang Ning took the green gourd and looked inside with her consciousness. She saw egg-sized demon pills floating on the gourd's upper waist. Affected by the innate energy, many demon pills had gradually dissolved and turned into clinging to the gourd. The sparkling gravel on the stone wall is the primary form of ice crystals.

When these sparkling gravels condensed to a certain size, they turned into ice crystals. Over the years, Tang Ning would check the gourd's changes every month as scheduled. He witnessed with his own eyes the entire process of the demon pills dissolving and turning into gravel. He had no idea about the demon pills. The changes are well understood.

At that moment, green spiritual power surged in his body and was continuously poured into the gourd.

As time went by, the green spiritual power gradually merged with one of the demon pills, and the demon pill was dissolved bit by bit extremely slowly. Some of the light flickered like dust particles flying in the inner space, and gradually adsorbed to the gourd wall. .

When Tang Ning saw this, she was so happy that she couldn't help shouting loudly: "Ruru, come and see, it's really working. The demon pill is gradually dissolving."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhan squeezed over first, and when he looked inside with his spiritual consciousness, he saw the changes caused by the fusion of the green spiritual power and the demon pill, and immediately exclaimed: "The demon pill is really dissolving, Xiao Ning Son, hurry up and try harder."

At this time, Tang Ning stopped instilling the green spiritual power and handed the gourd back to Xiao Zhan.

"Xiao Ningzi, what are you doing? Use your spiritual power to catalyze the fusion of demon pills!"

"Master Zhanxian, we need to have a serious talk." Tangning said seriously with a serious face.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Zhan naturally guessed his purpose, his eyes flickered and he said, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Of course we are talking about cooperation. Master Zhanxian, if you want me to help catalyze the demon pill to condense ice crystals, you must give me some benefits!"

Xiao Zhan rolled his eyes: "What benefits do you want? In this way, I will teach you some sword skills."

"We'll talk about the sword arts later. I don't know when I will be able to master the Tianyan Sword Formation. What's the point of having so many sword arts?"

"Then what do you want?" Xiao Zhan's eyes were already a little unkind.

"You know what I want."

"No." Xiao Zhan refused immediately.

"No? Then there's no need to talk about it. The gourd has been returned to you. Just pretend I haven't said anything about it. Don't mention it again in the future."

"Xiao Ningzi, you are determined to steal the treasure from me." Xiao Zhan put his hands on his hips, looking angry.

Tang Ning was used to this, and knew that she was fierce and guilty, so she acted angrily: "Didn't I return the gourd to you? Why do you have to rely on me to steal your treasure again?"

Xiao Zhan had nothing to say. He folded his hands on his chest and sat down angrily, staring at him fiercely.

Tangning smiled and said, "Come on, Master Zhanxian, let's not waste our words. You know that I am an honest person. I don't ask for much. How about we give you 50/50 for the ice crystals condensed from the gourd?"

"You have a beautiful idea." Xiao Zhan suddenly jumped up from the ground: "This is my treasure, and you still give me 50%. At most, I will give you 10% at most."

"Fifty percent, otherwise there's no need to talk. I discovered this gourd at the time. Now it's me who provides the demon elixir, and it's me who helps it accelerate the condensation of ice crystals. It's me who contributes, and it's me who pays. It's natural for me to take half of the ice crystals. ”

"Twenty percent, I'll give you 20% at most."

"Half and half, no less, otherwise you will find your own way to find the demon pill, and then slowly wait for it to condense into ice crystals." Tang Ning said slowly: "Master Zhantian, if I remember correctly, the gourd condensed into ice crystals last time It took more than two hundred years! It's only the size of a grain of rice. At this speed, it would probably be able to condense an ice crystal as large as an inch."

"Last time we were in Qinghai looking for your treasure, the Sky-Destroying Sword. How many quick ice crystals were there in the gourd? I remember it was twenty-three pieces, each piece varying in size. I ate seven pieces at that time, and they were all smaller. , each piece is about an inch in size, from the early stage of becoming a god to the middle stage of becoming a god."

"Calculating this, you only need to wait seven thousand years to get seven one-inch ice crystals, which is enough to advance an early stage god to the middle stage of god transformation."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhan didn't say a word in rebuttal, but stared at him fiercely with a pair of eyes.

Tang Ning was in a good mood. Xiao Zhan had always been unreasonable, and now that he could finally control her, she felt relieved.

Of course, what he just said was an exaggeration. It takes a thousand years for the Green Gourd to condense a large ice crystal. Although it is good, but in advance, there are only dozens of fourth-order demon pills. After these years of observation, he has already noticed that It turns out that the speed at which the gourd dissolves the demon pill and condenses ice crystals is directly related to the grade and quality of the demon pill itself.

For example, the gourd dissolving speed of a low-grade high-grade demon pill is obviously slightly faster than that of a fourth-grade low-grade demon pill.

In other words, the higher the grade of the demon elixir, the faster it will condense ice crystals.

"Master Zhanxian, please think clearly. If we cooperate, even if I share half of the ice crystals, the final result will definitely be more than what was naturally condensed. And you don't need to worry about the source of the demon pill. You don't have to worry about it. You pay, you don’t have to put in any effort, you split it 50-50 with me, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?”

Seeing that she was silent, Tang Ning knew that she was shaken in her heart, but she just couldn't live with her face, so she continued to persuade her emotionally and rationally.

"Look at me. I have contributed money and effort. I have done all the dirty work and only get half of it. I'm afraid there will never be an honest person like me in this world. Master Zhanxian, please give me a word! Okay? No, hurry up."

Xiao Zhan had a cold face and said nothing.

Tang Ning stepped forward and took Liu Ruhan's hand. The two of them studied the gourd together, chatting and laughing. They left Xiao Zhan aside and ignored her, leaving her to sulk alone.

After a while, I heard Xiao Zhan's angry words: "How do you count the seven ice crystals you stole?"

The couple looked at each other with hidden smiles in their eyes. They kept chatting and laughing about the gourd, which was actually a show for Xiao Zhan to see.

This method of dealing with children was only useful for Xiao Zhan. Sure enough, when she saw that no one was paying attention, she finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

"I will pay you back when the accounts are divided."

"The demon pills in the gourd now were all exchanged by me for the Tianyan Sword Formation. They should all belong to me."

"No problem, I promise you. I will help you condense this batch of demon pills into ice crystals for free." Tang Ning said with a smile. Naturally, he didn't care about these petty profits. As long as Xiao Zhan agreed to a 50-50 split, it would be easy. There will be plenty in the future. Opportunity to search for high-level high-level elixir condensed ice crystals.

…………

In Guangyang Pavilion City, in the column's meeting hall, all the managers of the column gathered together. The column leader Zhu Zhen was sitting in the main seat, talking non-stop.

Not long after, a man strode in from outside. He saluted with his head and said, "Senior Zhu, all the ministries have been assembled."

"Fellow Taoists, let's get going!" After Zhu Zhen said that, she stood up and walked out. The group of people followed closely behind and filed out of the hall. They saw many warships floating in the air.

Several people flashed and arrived at the leader's spiritual ship. With a loud roar, the warship slowly started to move.

Tangning stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the misty clouds below, her mind already reaching the distant Pingyuan County.

It has been several months since the coalition forces issued the order to retreat. Under various coercion and inducements from the coalition forces, major sects and spiritual families in Donglai County had evacuated their homeland on warships several months ago. The Qingzhou coalition forces were the last batch. Retreating.

With this retreat, he didn't know when he would be able to come back again, and what worried him even more was Liu Ruhan's whereabouts. Two months ago, the Fourth Army Corps of Qingwu Camp set out for Pingyuan County.

After leaving Donglai County, the Fourth Army lost its base.

The resources of Pingyuan County under the Taixuan Sect's jurisdiction are defended by the third legion of Qingwu Camp, and there is no need for the disciples of the fourth legion.

There have long been rumors that most of these disciples who have withdrawn from Pingyuan County will probably join the coalition forces.

And this is what worries him the most. Now that Nangong Muxue has returned to the mountain gate, Liu Ruhanruo has been assigned to another team of the coalition army, and the husband and wife are separated by one side. If there is a war, it will be bad.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, why are you standing here alone on the railing overlooking the distance?" Just as his mind was racing, a voice came. When he looked back, it was Bao Wenkang, the inspector of the column.

"I'm leaving Dongnai County soon, let's take another look!"

Bao Wenkang stood side by side with him and sighed slightly: "Yes! Let's look at it for a while longer! Maybe this is the last look. I have never seen it before, but now I look at it, how beautiful and magnificent the mountains and rivers are!"

"Young Taoist Bao must be a native of this county!"

"I have only left this county once in my life. I have lived in this land for more than two thousand years. I never thought that one day I would be forced to leave my hometown."

"I'll come back one day."

"I'm afraid I may not be able to see that day."

The two chatted casually, and the Tianling Ship passed through the clouds and fog and sped away.
