Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning nodded. He knew how to make alchemy himself and understood this principle well: "In that case, I will look for it. I will collect all these materials in the future and then I will bother my fellow Taoist. I just don't know where to look for my fellow Taoist?"

Qin Zhaoxian said: "I will stay here for a while until my disciple completes his transformation. I will not go anywhere else in the next few years. If fellow Taoist Tang finds these materials, just come here to find me."

"In that case, I'll take my leave and come back to find my Taoist friends someday."

"We've already come, why bother to leave! Since we are old acquaintances of Brother Xiao, we will stay here today for you and me to have a drink. I happen to have some fine wine brought from Qiyun Island. I wonder if Tang Dao is friendly with it. ?" Qin Zhaoxian persuaded him to stay.

Although he is a casual cultivator, he is free and easy, but he is also very good at communicating with people and making good friends. Now I see that Tang Ning is still in the middle stage of foundation building at a young age, and he can become a rare thing like the Rhinoceros Ant Queen. , couldn't help but take a high look at it.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Qin, for your kind words. I would rather obey my orders than to be respectful. I will tell you the truth. I'm quite hungry for this stuff. I'm just living in Xingang, so I rarely encounter fine wines. Now I can taste the fine wines from Qiyun Island, which will comfort me for the rest of my life." Tang Ning said

Qin Zhaoxian laughed: "It can be said that a thousand cups are too little when drinking with a close friend. Please treat me."

The three of them arrived in another room and sat down one after another. Qin Zhao took out a jar of wine and opened the lid. The rich and fragrant smell instantly filled the entire room, making people drunk without drinking.

"This sandalwood and musk wine has the fragrance of sandalwood, orchid and musk, hence the name. It is slightly famous on Qiyun Island. It is made by the local Green Star Chamber of Commerce. In terms of quality, it is a second-level medium-grade spiritual wine, which is suitable for us. Monk." Qin Zhao first filled the wine glass and the three drank it in one gulp.

The wine entered the intestines and stomach, like waves surging, one wave after another, stirring up the spiritual energy in the Linghai Point. The blood was surging all over the body, but the mouth was full of fragrance. Tang Ning exhaled: "It is a rare and good wine."

"A jar of this wine weighs ten kilograms and is worth two thousand spiritual stones. With my level of cultivation, I can only drink about three kilograms in one meal."

Tang Ning said: "It's a pity that such good wine can only be bought in far away places. If Xingang can make such good wine, even if it costs two thousand spiritual stones, it will be worth it."

"This method of making wine is treasured by all forces and will never be taught to outsiders. Even if I give you the recipe, you can't make it with the resources of Xingang. Not only does this wine contain various second-level herbs, , even the flesh and blood of the second-level monsters are integrated into it. Only the forces on the big islands have channels to obtain these things."

"Second-order monsters?" Tangning was slightly shocked when she heard this: "Where did they get so many second-order monsters?"

Qin Zhaoxian said: "There are many monsters lurking in the depths of the Qinghai Sea, and there are even more monsters in the Mubei grassland. It will not take long to transport the monsters from Mubei, and then use them to breed and raise them in captivity. As a spiritual beast, a second-level spiritual beast weighing several hundred kilograms can be used to refine thousands of jars of spiritual wine."

"The four traditional industries in the spiritual world, elixirs, talismans, weapon refining, and formations, are all said to be huge profits. From my point of view, they are actually far less profitable than spiritual wine and spiritual food. Not to mention those who control gambling. The power of brothels, teleportation arrays, brothels, and shops is really making money every day, and their daily profits are as high as one million spiritual stones."

Tang Ning said: "Since Fellow Daoist Qin has been around for a long time, I might as well tell you what novel things there are in the outside world, so that I, the frog in the well, can open my eyes."

Qin Zhaoxian said: "It is said that books cannot express words and words cannot express ideas. It is unimaginable to see the prosperity of the outside world without seeing it with your own eyes, and it is unimaginable to just listen to people's words. Even if you talk about the last three days and three nights, it is difficult to describe it. Let's put it this way! Today The Xingang Demon Sect rose up and fought several battles with the Xuanmen. Compared with the wars between the large sects in Qingzhou, the battles among the Xingang sects were like monkeys fighting for territory with stones and sticks. "

Tang Ning said: "This is natural. In the eyes of those great monks, aren't we just like ants?"

"Fellow Taoist Tang has misunderstood. What I am talking about does not refer to the level of cultivation, but the nature of war. You are more like a fight between individual cultivators. It is about the strength of individual abilities, while they are two armies. Fighting."

"What do you mean by this? I hope fellow Taoist can elaborate on it."

Qin Zhaoxian said: "They possess very powerful spiritual weapons and have received professional war training, including cooperation between various arms. The battle between them is not determined by personal strength, but by the quality of the overall equipment. The spiritual weapons they master There are also various types of weapons, including those that run on the ground, those that fly in the sky, those that swim in the sea, and there are even spiritual weapons that are specially designed to attack certain targets. "

"For example, if the Qianyi Sect and the Corpse Puppet Sect start a war again, the outcome of the war has nothing to do with the disciples below. It is mainly a battle between the Jindan monks. Once one of the Jindan monks is defeated and falls, then the other sect Natural defeat."

"But that's not the case with the large-scale sect wars in the Qingzhou inland. Even if a group of foundation-building monks fight against the golden elixir monks, they can still kill them. Because they are equipped with sophisticated spiritual weapons and can cause harm to the golden elixir monks, here In this case, the strength of one's cultivation is nothing."

"I have lived in the Qi Kingdom for a long time and have a good relationship with the Shuiyun Sect. I know that the only spiritual weapon their sect can use is only ten second-level Xuanqian crossbows. I think it is about the same with the Yizong. With this kind of equipment, I can't do anything in the war. What kind of action is it, usually only used to guard the sect."

"Suppose Shuiyun Sect has a hundred second-order Xuangan crossbows, ten third-order air-breaking crossbows, a hundred pairs of second-order battle armor, and ten pairs of third-order battle armor, do you think your personal cultivation can have any effect?"

Tangning was speechless. Thinking about it carefully, this was really the case.

Qin Zhaoxian had been wandering around for many years and was well-informed. He talked endlessly about what he saw and heard outside.

After drinking for three rounds, Tang Ning asked, "As fellow Daoist Qin, why did you attack those juniors from the Jin family?"

"Because my disciple's sister was kidnapped by them, and her father was beaten to death by the Jin family's servants, I knew that her sister was imprisoned in Chaotianguan, so I released her. I didn't expect that her sister would have been persecuted by the deacon of Fengxuan Tower. After she committed suicide, I avenged her and killed several younger members of the Jin family. Jin Lingyuan found me and had a fight. He knew he was defeated, so he reconciled with me. "

"I see." Tangning nodded, but secretly thought that this kid Jin Xuanyang was destined to be like this, and he was offended. I really agree with what I said. How can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet?

Xiao Mobai said: "It has been decades since we parted ways in Qinchuan. Fortunately, I was able to escape from the arrest of the Dou family with the help of fellow Taoists. I heard that the annihilation of the Dou family was due to the help of fellow Taoists of the Tang Dynasty. Is this true?"

Tang Ning said: "I was secretly ordered by the sect to get close to the Dou family in order to obtain evidence of their collusion with the Demon Sect. The Dou family also wanted to drag me into trouble, so I had many interactions with them."

Xiao Mobai said: "After the Dou family was exterminated, the Lu family quickly took over the position of the Dou family. Wang Xichuan is still famous all over the world, and there are still many women who are persecuted by it and forced to work as furnaces. I once thought about doing it without stopping. I simply made a big fuss about the Lu family, but finally gave up."

"Today, there is chaos in all directions, and powerful forces are dominating. The trouble cannot be eliminated overnight. After killing the Dou family, there is also the Lu family, and after killing the Lu family, there is also the Wang family. Friends Taoist Tang, have you ever thought about why this is?"

Tang Ning said: "The world is bustling with nothing but profit and gain. In the final analysis, it is just profit. Wang Xichuan earns no less than 100,000 yuan a year by relying on the spirit wine and furnace cauldron. Driven by such profits, many people naturally flock to it. , even if it means taking desperate risks.”

"What's more, the benefits are far higher than the risks. It can even be said that there is no risk. The fundamental reason why the Dou family was exterminated was still colluding with the Demon Sect. If not, the sect would not take action against them."

"To be honest, I have always felt regret when thinking about the Dou family over the years. I regretted my promise to exterminate the Dou family, thinking that no more women would be persecuted by this evil. Little did I know that the Lu family would take over, just like yesterday night."

"Not to mention the Dou family and the Lu family, how can other cultivating families fare better? Although they are not so cruel, forcing them to become a furnace, but they are still robbing good women and forcing them into prostitution? After all, the world is as black as crows."

Qin Zhaoxian said: "There are countless things like this on those big islands. Although it is cruel and unkind, it also contains a certain truth. It is the nature of the weak and the strong in the world. Tigers eat wolves, wolves eat sheep, and sheep eat grass. This is the nature of strong food. Weak, the same is true in the spiritual world.”

"To be honest, I have always hated the Demon Sect and the Xuanmen. Including the four major Xuanmen who are the best in the world, they are actually profit-seeking and sanctimonious monks. They talk about etiquette, justice and shame, but what they do behind the scenes is The villain's activities are nothing more than ganging up to bully the casual cultivators."

"This has nothing to do with personal conduct, but is the key to survival. It is related to the continuation of the entire sect. Anyone who reaches that position has to do this."

"But having said that, the current prosperity of the world is inseparable from the rule of Xuanmen. It can even be said that Xuanmen's rule has created such a prosperous age, and it is mainly due to the four major Xuanmen."

"Although I often say that they are despicable villains who occupy the best resources in the world and continue to squeeze the interests of casual cultivators in the world."

"But I have to admit that they have maintained the most basic order in the spiritual world and formulated iron rules. Because of this, they have been able to develop for so many years. Otherwise, the world would have been in flames of war and fighting."

"If you compare Demon Sect and Xuanmen, and choose one of the two, I would still side with Xuanmen."

"In my opinion, Xuanmen is a hypocrite and Mozong is a real villain. Although neither of them is a righteous person, a hypocrite is a gentleman after all, and a real villain is a villain after all."

"When dealing with Xuanmen, we can still communicate as long as we don't infringe on their core interests. Over the years, Xingang Sanxuanmen have rarely heard of murders, extortion, and plunder."

"But the Demon Sect is burning, killing, looting, and doing it wantonly. For them, there are only two kinds of people."

"One type is people who are useful to them, and they respect these people with great respect. The other type is people who are useless to them, and they treat these people as nothing."

"Taking the Corpse Puppet Sect as an example, it has only been occupying Qinchuan and Longyou for twenty years. How many robberies, murders, and goods have occurred? For those cultivating families, they spare no effort to help their development because it is useful to them."

"As for the casual cultivators! They kill and rob without restraint, especially for ordinary mortals."
