Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The horse-faced man shouted for a long time, and finally started counting again. When he counted to three, someone raised his hand.

"Ninety thousand spiritual stones. Fellow Taoist No. 14 bids ninety thousand."

Tangning turned her head and saw a slim woman, wrapped in a veil, whose true appearance could not be seen clearly.

Ninety thousand has reached his psychological limit. Now that someone has made a bid, he will no longer continue to bid with it.

In the end, the talisman was bought by the woman for 90,000 spiritual stones.

After that, many more items were put up for auction one after another, including top-quality spiritual weapons, formations, thousand-year-old herbs, and so on.

When Tangning was auctioning a top-quality spiritual weapon, he raised the price twice, but was bid down both times. The other party seemed determined to get it, so he gave up.

For him, these things are dispensable and do not necessarily have to be obtained. Once the price exceeds his own psychological price, he will naturally not follow the trend and bid foolishly.

"The auction of the items in this auction has been completed. The following is a free bidding. If any Taoist friends are in need, please come to the stage." As soon as the old man with the bull head finished speaking, a figure flashed and came to the stage, and a man's figure appeared. It's Tangning.

He knows that there won't be anything he wants in the auction, and he's just waiting for the free bidding session! So as soon as he heard what the old man said, he was the first to go on stage.

He turned his left hand and took out a humanoid puppet from the storage bag, and saw that its face was lifelike, its body was black and shiny, and its corners were distinct, lifelike.

It was the puppet that I got in the Jingping Mountains. Later, two of them were sold in Beijishanfang City, and this was the only one left.

"Everyone, here is a second-level puppet. This puppet is intact. I got it by chance. The lowest price is 50,000 yuan. In addition, I am looking for titanium gold, yellow powder, and green manganese fluid materials at a high price. Those who have these three materials will be given priority. Got a puppet," Tangning said.

There was silence below. After a while, a man jumped onto the stage, wearing a mask and a tall and thin figure: "Fifty thousand spiritual stones, I want this puppet."

When he asked, he took out his storage bag and took out the spirit stone.

"Wait a minute, I'll bid you 60,000 yuan." The person below said, his figure flashed, and he was a burly man on the stage.

The tall and thin man glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Seventy thousand spirit stones. If you Taoist friend exceeds this price, I will leave immediately."

The burly man said calmly: "I really won't pay the price of 70,000 spirit stones, but I have to ask this seller first if he is willing to do a deal with you."

The tall and thin man was about to speak when he heard this. The burly man turned his left hand and took out a palm-sized and heavy golden round stone. It was titanium. This piece weighed three kilograms: "Fellow Taoist just said, there is Titanium materials are preferred. I wonder if this piece of titanium and 60,000 spirit stones can buy the puppet of fellow Taoist."

When Tang Ning saw him taking out the titanium, she felt happy: "This puppet belongs to fellow Taoist."

Then he turned to the tall and thin man and said: "This piece of titanium is of urgent use to me. I just made it clear that those who have this material will be given priority, so I have to apologize to my fellow Taoist."

The tall and thin man snorted coldly and walked off the stage.

The burly man checked around the puppet and found no problems, so he put the spirit stone and the titanium stone into a storage bag and handed it to him.

"If you have any Taoist friends who have Huang Xuan powder and green manganese fluid, you can contact me privately. I am willing to buy it at a high price." Tangning shouted one last time, walked off the stage, returned to her seat, and took out the piece from her storage bag. The titanium stone comes as a raw material, and you can put it in your hands to watch and play with it.

This material does not look big, but it feels very heavy when held in the hand. Its appearance is as smooth as jade, harder than steel, and has a higher purity than gold.

The bidding on the stage was still going on. Following Tangning was a thin man who sounded very old. The auction item he took out was a green bead called the Will-o'-the-Wisp Bead, with an asking price of 100,000. Special exercises and practicing pure yin energy are of great benefit.

It's a pity that no one here has practiced such a technique, so no one bid, and in the end the old man had no choice but to leave.

The whole auction didn't end until around 11:00, and Tang Ning failed to exchange the Huang Xuan powder and Green Manganese liquid. But being able to get titanium gold is already a good harvest, at least it's not in vain.

Everyone left the hall and turned into light and left. After walking for a day, they returned to the Qianjun Mountain Intelligence Station.

"Uncle Tang, Tang Immortal Envoy." All the disciples stood up and saluted.

Tangning responded softly and returned to her room. She patted the spirit animal bag. A white light flashed and a small white snake jumped out of it. Its body swelled in the wind and surrounded him. Its huge head rested on his shoulders and arms. , spitting out scarlet letters.

Tang Ning stroked its head, took out two Vitality Pills from the storage bag, swallowed them with its tongue, and then curled up, lying motionless on the ground with its head tilted.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Kong Ji pushed the door open, flipped it with his left hand, took out a pile of files and handed them to him: "Uncle Tang, these are the memorials sent by intelligence points from various places this month."

Tang Ning waved her hand: "You can figure it out yourself! You can also leave it to Fellow Daoist Zheng. You don't have to report these matters to me in the future. You can just decide."

Kong Ji was speechless and was about to leave the room when Tangning asked again, "Is there any news about what I asked you to inquire about last time?"

"The disciple has sent a message to the personnel at various intelligence points, but has not yet received any feedback."

"Well, tell them more carefully about this matter. In addition, there is no need for the Purple Flame Stone and Titanium Gold. I have already found them. There are also Huangxuan Powder and Green Manganese Spiritual Liquid. I will reward those who can provide clues. Now you Just send a message to the disciples at each information point.”

"Yes." Kong Ji responded and exited the room.

Time flies, and one year has passed.

During this period, Tangning had almost no control over the work of the intelligence station, and delegated all matters to the people below.

Facts have proven that an organization can survive without anyone.

Of course, there must be an impact. All lurking and infiltration plans have come to a halt, including some secret and important insiders. The intelligence station has almost cut off contact with them.

Because he is the only one who knows the details of these personnel, and he is no longer in charge, so he cannot contact them.

He only practiced behind closed doors in his room every day. Occasionally he would go out to participate in small auctions organized by the local government after receiving news. His life was uneventful.

On this day, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the room when a sudden movement came from the spirit beast bag. When he opened his eyes, he felt happy at first.

He quickly took out the spirit beast bag and looked inside with his spiritual consciousness. He saw an egg shell slowly breaking into pieces, and a little guy covered in black slowly crawled out of it.

It struggled to break free from the shackles of the egg shell, stretched its head out of the egg shell, and looked at everything around it curiously.

Yes, it was curiosity. A very strange feeling arose in Tangning's heart. He could faintly feel the joy, surprise, and fear in Xuan Ant's heart.

This is probably the rumored contract effect, the psychic communication effect brought about by the blood sacrifice technique! He thought to himself.

After the rhinoceros ant's head emerged from the egg shell, its body also squeezed out bit by bit.

After about a quarter of an hour, it finally broke through the egg shell and truly came to this world.

At this moment, its entire body is only about an inch in size, and the antennae on the horns of its head have not yet grown out, only a slightly bulging small bump.

After the rhinoceros ant broke out of its shell, it flapped its wings and slowly rose up, flying around in a space about ten feet in diameter, as if it was getting familiar with this strange place.

Tang Ning felt even happier when she saw it spread its wings and fly.

In the ant kingdom, there are multiple types of soldiers, including female ants, male ants, worker ants, and soldier ants. Worker ants are commonly known as guard ants, while soldier ants are commonly known as army ants. Both have no wings and no ability to mate.

Winged ants are male and female ants, and the two are able to mate, and the female may become a queen after mating with a male.

In other words, only females can reproduce, while most male ants die silently after mating.

This newly born little guy is just a female rhinoceros ant.

The female ant flew in the spirit beast bag space for a while and stopped on an egg shell.

It's hungry. For some reason, a piece of information flashed through Tangning's mind, and she seemed to be able to intuitively feel its status.

Tangning couldn't help but feel surprised. She put her hand into the spirit beast bag, pinched it with two fingers, and took the little rhinoceros ant out of its space.

The little guy didn't resist at all and allowed him to squeeze his body, as if he could feel the close relationship between the two.

Tang Ning placed it in the palm of his hand. The little guy looked very excited, crawling around in his palm, fluttering its wings, and flew to his neck, making very close contact with him.

The little white snake raised its huge head and stared at the little rhinoceros ant with its dark green pupils.

The rhinoceros ant flapped its wings and hid behind Tang Ning's neck.

It's afraid. Tangning felt its status.

The little white snake showed great hostility. It stretched its head and put it on Tang Ning's shoulders and arms. It swallowed scarlet letters and hissed in its mouth, as if to warn the rhinoceros ants hiding behind its neck.

The rhinoceros ant was so frightened that it couldn't move, and its body almost shrank into a ball, shivering.

Tang Ning continued to comfort her, and the little white snake finally let down her guard and retracted her head.

After a long time, the body of the little rhinoceros ant stopped shaking.

Tangning put it back into the spirit beast bag, then took out a few golden crystal clear particles from the storage bag and placed them into the spirit beast bag.

After the little rhinoceros ant returned to the spirit beast bag space, it got rid of the fear in its heart, flapped its wings and flew. When it saw a few golden objects scattered above, it flew to one, picked up the object and started to eat it.

Tang Ning felt slightly reassured when she saw that the fruit was feeding on these ants. This way, she no longer had to worry about raising these rhinoceros ants.

A few days later, another rhinoceros ant broke out of its shell. This rhinoceros ant had no wings and was very small. It was a guard ant.

In less than a month, fifty-two rhinoceros ants emerged from their shells. Forty-five of them were wingless, and only seven had wings. Three were female ants, and four were male ants.
