Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Le'an County, Lingyue Mountain, Qingzhou Allied Forces Frontline Headquarters, in the spacious and bright hall, Tang Ning pushed the door open and entered. Shao Hui, who was sitting inside, quickly stood up and saluted: "Junior pays homage to Senior Tang."

"No need to be polite, please take a seat!" Tang Ning smiled and waved her hand, then walked to the main seat and sat down.

Shao Hui took out a storage bag and handed it to him with both hands: "Senior Tang, this is the Golden Thunder Bamboo that you entrusted to this junior before. According to your instructions, this junior found Master Feng and asked him to refine the Golden Thunder Sword. Sorry, one of the materials was damaged during this refining process."

Tang Ning took the storage bag and took out the contents. There were six stone boxes, each containing a golden thunder sword. Looking at the golden thunder sword flowing with brilliance, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Zhan again, and felt a little small in his heart. Sad, his face remained calm, and he put away several golden thunder swords one by one: "Thank you for your help."

"The junior is just passing along a message and running an errand, it is not worth mentioning. The junior has long wanted to return this thing to the senior, but because he does not know where the senior is, he has not returned it. Fortunately, we met in the market last time Fellow Daoist Plateau learned from him that the senior has returned to the coalition frontline headquarters, so he came to pay his respects. "

Tang Ning said, "To be honest with you, I went on a special mission assigned by the sect. I originally thought that I would be able to come back in as little as three to five years, or as long as ten years. I didn't expect that I encountered trouble along the way, which delayed my return." It’s been a long time, and I didn’t return to the headquarters until recently.”

"Senior Ji Ren has his own destiny, and he will be safe and sound. This junior has never doubted this. It has only been a few hundred years since we last met, and senior has actually broken through the realm of fusion, and his progress in cultivation can be said to be a thousand miles away. No wonder the outside world It is widely said that you are the first among the rising stars of Taixuan Sect."

After hearing this, Shao Cheng's eyes lit up behind him, and he couldn't hide his surprise. His cultivation level was too low, and his spiritual consciousness was unable to detect Tangning's specific spiritual power fluctuations, so he didn't know that his true cultivation level had broken through the realm of fusion.

He had heard a lot about Tang Ning's deeds, and the most widely spread and praised one was the battle in which he killed the grandson of the Blue Dragon King.

Everyone in the Qingzhou Allied Forces knew that they used the adversity of cultivation in the middle stage of Lianxu to kill the bloodline of the Qingjiao royal family in the late stage of Lianxu, the direct grandson of the Qingjiao King. This battle made him famous in both Qingzhou and Mubei armies.

And this only happened a few hundred years ago. In other words, just a few hundred years ago, it was still in the middle stage of Void Refining, but today it has broken through to the Fusion stage.

Shao Cheng looked up furtively and saw the smiling figure sitting in the main seat. He felt that the figure was extremely tall, and even the smile on his face had some unfathomable meaning.

Seeing his eyes sweeping over him, he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at her.

"This must be Young Master Ling!" Tang Ning glanced at Shao Cheng, who was standing behind Shao Hui. His appearance was 70% to 80% similar to Shao Hui's, his stature was half a head taller than Shao Hui, and he only had the cultivation level of the late Jin Dan.

"Yes, this is the dog Shao Cheng. Cheng'er, why don't you pay your respects to Senior Tang soon."

"Disciple pays homage to Master Tang's uncle." Shao Cheng immediately bowed and saluted.

"When were you transferred to the coalition front line?"

"In the 2246th year of Daoding, the disciple came to Qingzhou from the sect."

"Where do you work now?"

"The disciple is in the fifth column of the Seventh Legion."

"Oh!" Tangning nodded, without asking any more questions, and turned to look at Shao Hui and said, "Are your Madam and Fellow Taoist Wen Tai here too?"

Shao Hui sighed slightly, his expression suddenly dim: "My wife has passed away."

"Ah? Your wife has passed away. What's going on?"

"My wife is not blessed. She died while trying to attack the state of transformation. My father-in-law was so sad that he did not want to stay here. He traveled around the world and has not been heard from until now."

"The path of spiritual practice is often full of ups and downs, and very few can reach the top. Fellow Taoist Shao, don't be too sad."

"This is fate. This junior has already looked away."

"How did fellow Taoist Shao end up in Le'an County? Where do you make a living now?"

"The junior has not always stayed in Le'an County. Because Quanzi came to Qingzhou with the army, and the junior had nothing else to do, so he has been following Quanzi. Wherever he was transferred, the junior followed him. In the past few years, Quanzi's department was transferred I am stationed in Le'an County, so I came here. Now I am alone and have a home all over the world. I don't work for other forces. I usually practice elixirs for my own use. "

Tang Ning said, "Why don't Fellow Taoist Shao join our sect? If you are willing, I can first arrange a position for you in Qingwu Camp, and then recommend you to join the sect when I have the opportunity. In this way, you and Mr. Ling can rely on each other." "

"This junior has become accustomed to being free over the years, and no longer wants to look at other people's faces and be ordered around. Although your noble sect is good, he is not suitable for this junior."

"Everyone has his own ambitions. Since fellow Taoist Shao has no intention of doing so, forget it."

Shao Hui paused: "Senior Tang, in addition to returning the refined Golden Thunder Sword, I actually want to ask for something else during this visit."

Tang Ning had been waiting for his words for a long time. Shao Hui specially brought his son with him this time. His intention was obvious, and he just wanted to take care of his son.

Shao Cheng was alone in the Taixuan Sect with no relatives and no one to rely on. Although he was not bullied, his life was definitely not that smooth. He was the only bloodline of Shao Hui, and Shao Hui had been by his side all these years. , which shows the love and care for him.

Now it is war time again. If there is a big battle, not to mention a golden elixir monk, not even a virtual refining monk will not be able to protect himself.

Tang Ning had been chatting with him about family affairs. In fact, she was waiting for him to take the initiative to speak, so that she could later put forward conditions for him to work for her.

"If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter. We have been friends for so many years, and I will do my best if I can do it."

"Thank you, Senior Tang. Senior once saved this junior's life. Junior has not yet been able to repay his great kindness to junior. Logically, he should not trouble senior again. But apart from senior, junior really doesn't know who to look for in this matter, so he can only look at it shamelessly. Please. The dog Shao Cheng has no one to rely on in the Qingzhou coalition. He is the only bloodline between the junior and Zhuo Jing. Please take care of him for the sake of Zhuo Jing’s death. "

Tang Ning smiled and said, "I thought it was a big deal! It turns out that this is the matter. Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Shao. Even if you don't tell me, I will take care of Young Master Ling. Let's do this! Let him come directly to me, Shao Cheng, Do you want to?"

Hearing this, Shao Cheng beamed with joy and immediately bowed and saluted: "To be coveted by my master and uncle, my disciple is willing to live in disgrace."

"Senior Tang, thank you so much." Shao Hui said gratefully.

"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Fellow Taoist Shao, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Senior Tang has a destiny, but I will never give up even if I die."

"It's not that serious. I'm thinking of setting up an alchemy hall in the future, and I'd like you to manage it for me. What do you think?"

"When seniors need juniors, just let them know." Shao Hui answered immediately without hesitation.

Tang Ning nodded with satisfaction. The reason why he wanted to win over Shao Hui was actually Wen Tai.

Among casual cultivators, people with both high cultivation and special skills like Wen Tai are very rare. If he can be recruited under his command, it will be of great benefit to the development of independent industries outside the sect in the future.

After chatting for a while, Shao Hui and his son said goodbye and left.

………

In the blink of an eye, dozens of days passed quickly. On this day, a rotating staff member from the Affairs Hall came to the house to pay a visit, but it was the frontline headquarters affairs manager who asked him to come over to discuss something.

Tang Ning then arrived at the Affairs Hall. On the fourth floor of each hall, in the spacious hall, a thin old man with slightly white temples sat at the head of the chair. He was Mao Xing, the affairs manager of the frontline headquarters, who was from the Netherworld Sea Organization. Monk.

Below there is a middle-aged man with a face as thick as a jujube, and the two are chatting.

The stone door opened and Tang Ning walked in. The monk on duty following him saluted, "Senior Mao. Senior Tang is here."

"Fellow Taoist Tang is here, please take a seat." The old man surnamed Mao waved his hand, and the monk on duty who spoke immediately withdrew.

"I don't need to introduce you to this one! You should know each other, fellow Taoist Yuan Tan, the affairs director of the coalition headquarters."

"Master Yuan." Tang Ning saluted him.

"Junior brother Tang, there is no need to be polite. Now that you have broken through the realm of integration, we can just treat each other as junior brothers." Yuan Tan said with a smile.

Tang Ning sat down on one side: "I wonder why Fellow Daoist Mao called me here?"

Mao Xing said: "For the former, the personnel arrangements for Fellow Daoist submitted by our headquarters to the Allied Forces Headquarters have been finalized. Fellow Daoist Yuan is here specifically for this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Tan continued: "Junior Brother Tang, due to your outstanding performance and outstanding contribution on the Qingzhou battlefield, I have been specially appointed by the Allied Forces Headquarters to publicize your appointment. From now on, you will be appointed as the supervisor of the Seventh Army. "

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Senior Brother Yuan." Tang Ning nodded in response. He was not surprised by this appointment, because it was the job Nangong Muxue had arranged for him.

Nangong Muxue once asked him where he would like to serve, and gave him two options. One was to choose a position within the frontline headquarters, and the other was to go to the frontline corps.

After some consideration, he still chose to go to the legion. Although it would be more comfortable and safer to stay at the headquarters, it was not as comfortable as leading the affairs of the legion alone.

There are several Mahayana monks in the headquarters, and they keep an eye on them no matter what they do. Their autonomy cannot be compared with holding important positions in the legion.

Nangong Muxue then asked the Allied Forces Headquarters for a job as an inspector of the Seventh Army. Before he went to the Artifact World, he was promoted to the position of steward of the Tenth Army. Now that he came back from the Artifact World, he broke through the Fusion Realm and was promoted. Legion inspection is also reasonable.

Because he beheaded the grandson of King Qingjiao, the coalition army set an example by setting him up to boost their morale. Not only did they inform the entire Qingzhou coalition army about the incident, but they also rewarded him with a large number of meritorious deeds. These meritorious deeds were enough for him to be promoted to the rank of Legion Inspector. .

In recent years, during the battle between the Qingzhou Allied Forces and Mubei, a large number of high-level monks died in battle, resulting in a shortage of high-level personnel in various ministries. The senior ranks and legions of many teams were not at full strength, and it was not uncommon to make extraordinary promotions.

It is already relatively common for someone in the early stages of a legion to serve as a legion deputy captain or legion supervisor, so promoting him to the post of legion supervisor is not an unprecedented exception.

Although Han Siyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou Allied Forces, sent him to the Qiling Realm because of a conflict between him and his grandson-in-law, and he was suspected of using public weapons for personal use, he had returned from the Qiling Realm, and Han Siyuan did not make things difficult for him again.

Having said that, the grand master of Qingxuan Hall of Taixuan Sect has always been at odds with a junior, and his reputation is not good if word spreads, not to mention that there is no grudge between the two.

Han Siyuan may be narrow-minded, but he will never stare at a junior looking for trouble all day long. He may have just been unhappy for a moment and threw him into the spirit world, which undoubtedly meant warning and beating.

Nangong Muxue personally sought a position for him. Even if Han Siyuan disliked him, he would not openly refute or oppose his appointment.

In any case, they all belong to the Taixuan Sect. In the Qingzhou coalition, in front of the Nether Sea, Jiang family, and other Xuanmen and chamber of commerce forces, at least on the surface, they must show unity.
