Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning said: "The reason I am brazenly disturbing you this time is actually about the Demon Sect. I got news that some Demon Sect disciples have sneaked into Beiyuan to plot something. I heard that several members of the Jin family were assassinated a few days ago, and the matter may have something to do with the Demon Sect." related to the clan.”

"I heard that your mansion had conducted a large-scale search, and I must have found some clues, so I came here to ask for details. By whose hands did the disciples of your mansion die? Was it the work of the Demon Sect? Is there anything unusual about them during their lifetimes?"

Jin Lingyuan said: "Fellow Taoist Tang has misunderstood. This matter has nothing to do with the Demon Sect, but was done by a passing cultivator."

"Fellow Taoist, can you be sure? I have received news that a demon sect monk has sneaked into Beiyuan with evil intentions. Several disciples of your family were killed at this time. It is possible that the demon sect has a plot against the Jin family. We must not ignore the opportunity for safety. !”

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Taoist Tang. This matter was indeed done by a rogue cultivator."

"How do fellow Taoists know this? I hope you can tell me."

"To be honest, the whole thing was just a misunderstanding. I have already met the perpetrator."

Tangning frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that the Demon Sect deliberately pretended to be a casual cultivator to deceive fellow Taoists?"

Jin Lingyuan smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Tang is overly concerned. I still have some knowledge. The other party is not an ordinary person. He is also a famous person in Xingang."

"Oh? I wonder who he is?"

"This person's surname is Qin and his given name is Zhaoxian."

"Qin Zhaoxian? Could it be that Qin Zhaoxian, the master of weapon refining?" Tang Ning asked slightly surprised.

Xingang is a small town with few people. Qin Zhaoxian is definitely famous. His skill in refining weapons is unmatched by anyone in Xingang. No one can match him, including Sanxuanmen. He is the only one in Xingang. A monk who can refine the best spiritual weapons.

Qin Zhaoxian was born in the State of Qi, and studied under Dongfang Ye. He was also a well-known weapon refiner. Qin Zhaoxian was better than his master.

He has been alone for many years and his whereabouts are unpredictable. It is said that he has a close relationship with the Shuiyun Sect and often refines spiritual weapons for them.

No wonder Jin Lingyuan said it was a misunderstanding. Although the Jin family was powerful and a local snake, the other party was not an unknown person. Jin Lingyuan would naturally not form a deep hatred with him for the sake of a few juniors, and the quarrel would not end until the end.

Jin Lingyuan smiled slightly: "Exactly."

"It would be too disrespectful for a person like him to travel thousands of miles to the Chu Kingdom and attack several juniors in your mansion."

"It was a misunderstanding, but now it has been cleared up."

Seeing his appearance, Tang Ning knew that the Jin family was unreasonable, and as Qin Zhaoxian, he would definitely not kill his junior without any reason. He first made trouble in Chaotian Temple, released the woman in custody, and then executed Jin Xuanyang. It is not possible that the Jin family really made a mistake and captured someone who was closely related to him.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for telling me. Since it has nothing to do with the Demon Sect, I'll take my leave first." Tang Ning stood up and said

"I won't send you far."

Tang Ning walked out of the hall and suddenly turned back halfway: "Tang has a heartfelt request. I wonder if fellow Taoist Jin knows the whereabouts of fellow Taoist Qin. Can you tell me?"

"What does Fellow Taoist Tang want from him?"

"It's nothing. I have a good weapon-refining material in my hand, and I'm worried about what to do with it. This time I bumped into Daoist Fellow Qin, and I wanted to pay him a visit and ask him to refine a spiritual weapon for me."

"I see. As far as I know, he settled in Longtou Mountain in Tianlan County before, but I don't know if he is still there now."

"Thank you." Tangning turned around and left the hall, turning into light and leaving.

The best material he mentioned was the corpse of the queen ant. The flesh of monster beasts is the best material for refining armor, especially crustacean monsters. With the toughness of the queen ant's body, if it can be refined into spirit As for the utensil, it must be extraordinary.

He left Jin Mansion and walked for about half a day to Longtoushan. Looking from above, he saw a place filled with smoke.

Tang Ning was overjoyed when she saw this. She escaped from the light, passed through the thick fog, and came to a cave.

Turning over with his left hand, a talisman was handed in.

Not long after, a ray of light emerged from the cave, and the figure of a man appeared, with sword-shaped eyebrows, starry eyes, and straight facial features.

Tang Ning was slightly stunned. This person was none other than Xiao Mobai, whom he had met once before.

When he was in Qinchuan, Xiao Mobai made a big fuss in the Dou family, kidnapped Su Jiaowei, and completely disrupted his plan. The two of them had a fight because of this. At that time, he was only a tenth-level Qi refining monk, but now he has Build the foundation.

"It's you." Xiao Mobai was stunned when he saw him: "What are you doing here?"

"I heard that Taoist friend Qin Zhaoxian settled in this mountain, so I came to look for him. I have something to ask for his help. I wonder if Taoist friend Xiao knows where he is?"

"You come with me!" Xiao Mobai said, turning into a ray of light and leaving.

Tang Ning hurriedly followed, but within ten miles, she arrived in front of a wooden house.

"Brother Qin." Xiao Mobai shouted outside the house.

The door of the room opened, and an old man with a bright head walked out. He glanced at Tang Ning and said, "Brother Xiao is here. Who is this fellow Taoist?"

"Tang Ning, I heard that my friend is here and I have something to ask for, so I have taken the liberty to bother you. I hope you will forgive me," Tang Ning said.

"He is a disciple of the Qianyi Sect and is an old acquaintance of mine. He just said in front of my cave that he wanted to find you, so I brought him here."

"Since I'm Brother Xiao's friend, there's no need to be polite. Please come in and talk."

The three of them entered the room, and Tang Ning saw a pretty girl lying upside down in the corner. Her face was as red as a monkey's butt, and she was dripping with sweat.

What are you doing? Just like a troupe practicing martial arts, Tang Ning felt confused after looking at it, but it was inconvenient to ask any more questions. The three of them sat down according to host and guest.

"That's it for today, let's take a rest first!" Qin Zhao said first.

The little girl was also reaching her limit. When she heard this, her whole body relaxed and she fell to the ground. She got up, with no expression on her face, walked behind Qin Zhaoxian and stood with her hands down.

"I don't know why Fellow Taoist Tang is here?"

Tang Ning said: "I have admired the name of Taoist friend Qin for a long time, and I regret not meeting him once. Now that I have followed the monks of the Demon Sect here, I heard that the head of the Jin family said that my Taoist friend would settle here. So I came here to pay my respects. I really have something to ask for."

"I accidentally obtained a monster corpse. I wonder if you can refine it into a spiritual weapon. Of course, I know that refining a weapon is not a simple matter. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and a monster corpse alone can reach a long distance. It’s not enough, fellow Taoist spend this time just ask.”

"How did Fellow Taoist Tang and Brother Xiao meet?" Qin Zhaoxian asked instead without answering directly.

Xiao Mobai said: "In the early years, I offended some people in Qinchuan. Fortunately, Taoist friend Tang helped me to escape the pursuit."

"So that's it." Qin Zhao nodded and said, "I wonder what kind of monster corpse Tang Taoist friend mentioned?"

Tangning took out the queen ant body from the storage bag and handed it to him.

Qin Zhaoxian took the three-foot-sized queen ant body and looked at it carefully, knocking it everywhere, with a look of surprise on his face: "This...is it a rhinoceros ant?"

"Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed very knowledgeable. It is the rhinoceros ant. This is the queen of its ant colony. Its body is so tough that even top-grade spiritual weapons cannot damage it. After I got it, I struggled not to know what to do with it. I heard that Friend Qin was here. , and came in a hurry."

"Queen?" Qin Zhaoxian exclaimed: "Some time ago, there was a colony of rhinoceros-armored ants in South China. It must be related to this queen!"

Tang Ning said: "To be honest, I got this queen ant corpse from the bottom of a lake in South China. At that time, I was tracking down a few Demon Sect monks and followed them into the bottom of the lake. Unexpectedly, there was a group of rhinoceros ants inside. Those black ants were chasing the demon ants. The monk left, and I sneaked into its lair, killed the queen, and escaped."

"As for what happened next, I don't know. The group of rhinoceros ants appearing in South China now should be the descendants of this queen ant population. Unless they are another group of rhinoceros ants, but I don't think it is such a coincidence."

Qin Zhaoxian nodded and said: "No wonder, those ant colonies are scurrying around like headless flies in South China. The culprit is here. At the beginning, I expected that such a huge population must have a commander who can lead the group. Let's I’ll test the toughness of the queen ant’s bones first.”

After saying that, he pulled out a three-foot Qingfeng sword, which burst out with light and slashed at the ant queen.

There was a bang, the sword trembled slightly, and a thin, almost invisible mark appeared on the queen ant's body.

Qin Zhaoxian put away his sword and caressed his beard and said, "Well, he is extremely decisive and tenacious."

"Can fellow Taoist refine it into a spiritual weapon?"

Qin Zhaoxian said: "It will take some effort to peel off his body, but it is not enough to refine it into a spiritual weapon. It can only be used as the main material, and you need to collect other corresponding materials."

When Tang Ning heard that he was willing to refine a spiritual weapon for herself, she was delighted: "This is natural."

"I'll make a list for you." Qin Zhaoxian took out a pen and paper and wrote down a few lines of handwriting.

Tang Ning took it and took a look and saw it written on it: five kilograms of purple flame stone, three kilograms of titanium gold, three kilograms of yellow xuan powder, and one kilogram of green manganese fluid.

Qin Zhaoxian said: "It's mainly these four materials. I have some other miscellaneous auxiliary materials. You don't need to prepare them."

Tang Ning frowned slightly. Of these four materials, he only knew purple flame stone. He had never even heard of the other three, such as titanium gold, yellow xuan powder, and green manganese liquid. Where could he find these things!

"I'm sorry for my ignorance, but I wonder where I can find these materials in Xingang? Is there any market that sells them?"

"None of these types of materials have been unearthed in Xingang, and they are generally not sold in Xingang markets. If you want to find them, you need to go to Qinghai Island or attend more private auctions. Some people may have them."

By attending auctions? I'm afraid it will take years and months to collect these materials.

"I wonder if other materials can be used instead?"

Qin Zhaoxian twisted his beard and smiled: "If Taoist Tang only wants to refine a top-grade spiritual weapon, you can use several other materials instead, but if you want to refine a top-grade spiritual weapon, this is already the easiest material to find. With all due respect, Judging from the rarity of this rhino-armored ant corpse, fellow Taoist, it would be a waste of resources if it were only used as a material for high-grade spiritual weapons."

"Do you know why there are so few monks in Xingang who can refine the best spiritual weapons? Including your Xuanmen, they are not as good as me, a casual cultivator?"

"Because Xuanmen monks sit in Xingang all year round and have no materials and resources, their skills are naturally not high. And I often wander outside and have access to a wider world. The rare materials in Xingang can be seen everywhere outside, so my skills have become even better In the final analysis, the most important thing in weapon refining is the accumulation of experience, and the accumulation of experience requires massive consumption of materials and squandering.
