Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Yan Min sat under the big golden osmanthus tree, holding the golden roc in her arms with her left hand, stroking its head gently, picking flowers and folding leaves with her right hand, mumbling indistinctly.

Bai Jintang stepped forward and touched her head: "What's wrong? Who are you angry with again?"

"He, how does he deserve it?" Yan Min turned around and said angrily, shook her head vigorously, and escaped Bai Jintang's clutches: "Master, stop touching my head, I am not a child anymore."

Bai Jintang smiled and said: "You are rubbing Dapeng's head. It has been practicing for nearly a thousand years. What's wrong? Tell me, my teacher, you asked what happened to the person named Tang Ning as soon as you came here? It's not you secretly with others. Let’s make a private decision for life!”

"No! I just, hey, master, don't ask, this is a secret, I can't tell you. Master, have you finished your matter? When will we return to the sect!"

"I want to go back to the sect so soon. I wanted to leave the sect when I was making trouble and lost my temper with my master."

"I'm not desperate, and I'm not losing my temper. I just want to go out and have fun. Oh, master, stop touching my head. If you touch me again, I'll get angry."

……………

Tangning slowly formed seals with his hands, and fireballs as big as bowls appeared around him. His mind moved, and the fireballs hit a pit, raising a cloud of dust.

Tang Ning nodded with satisfaction. He had almost mastered these low-level spells. All that was left was to gain proficiency. As long as he persevered, he believed he would be able to master them one day.

It has been nearly two years since he came to the Herbology Department. Ten months ago, he ushered in another transformation in his life, breaking through the first level of cultivation and reaching the second level of Qi Refining.

It was an indescribable and wonderful feeling, as if a river had broken through its dam, and my whole body's energy and energy had reached a new level.

In one year and five months, he broke through the first level of Qi refining. This cultivation speed is not much better if not at the bottom in the entire sect. The blame is mainly on the green gas lingering in his body. He has refined a lot. All the spiritual energy was absorbed by it, causing his cultivation speed to plummet.

His qualifications are not good to begin with, and he is much slower at absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth than others, so he has to give some of it to it...

He also tried to contact that strange gas, tried to drive it, but found nothing. It was like a dog-skin plaster, it stuck and couldn't be shaken off.

A wooden bird appeared on the horizon, flew slowly in his direction, and stopped steadily in front of him. A man jumped out from it, wearing Qianyi Zong's blue clothes, with a handsome face and bright and confident eyes. The god, so full of energy, is Mu Pingbo, whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

Back then, the two of them entered the Luoyun Mountains together and hung out for several months. He also succeeded in transforming into a mortal first, and they lost contact after that. Until about a year ago, another disciple from the Herbal Medicine Department brought him to Tang Ning.

There are fifteen disciples in the Herb Department. Deacon Ma Wen is a foundation-building monk, and his disciple Fang Liting is the senior sister of the Herb Department. She has the highest cultivation level in the Herb Department. She has nine levels of Qi training. Ma Wen is a "hands-off" "Shopkeeper", Fang Liting usually decides everything in the department.

There are eleven medicinal herb gardens in the entire Qianyi Sect, which are all under the name of Herbaceae. The herb garden under Tang Ning's care is for relatively low-level elixirs. Most of the dozen or so herbs here are for Qi Refining Stage elixirs. The main herb is used to refine Qi-nourishing pills and Qi-condensing pills.

Tang Ning had bribed the Internal Affairs Department disciple with three spiritual stones to get this position, but now it seemed that it was barely worth it.

"Hey, Tangning," Mu Pingbo walked up to him, said hello, and handed him a note.

Tangning opened it and saw the quantities of various medicinal herbs written on it.

Ten dew grasses, twenty golden jade flowers, fifteen Ningxu grasses, ten Rose Spirit grasses...

He frowned: "Why do you want so much this time? I picked more than a hundred herbs at once. If someone comes from above to investigate carefully, I can't explain it."

Mu Pingbo smiled and said: "This is what Senior Brother Xu told me. There were some mistakes in the alchemy last time, and Senior Uncle Li scolded him. Senior Brother Xu is going to practice hard in seclusion to improve his level of alchemy.

Tangning was still frowning, staring at the list on the paper in her hand without saying a word.

The two of them had been working together for more than a year. Mu Pingbo naturally knew what it meant. He immediately took out a small yellow bag and handed it to him, saying: "Do me a favor. Even if someone comes to check, it's just a formality. Can we really hold you accountable?”

Tangning took the bag, opened it and took a look. It contained a bag full of spiritual stones, totaling twenty-five yuan, and a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill: "Okay then! Just wait."

He walked to the herb garden and picked the herbs according to the list on the paper. Mu Pingbo is a disciple of the Alchemy Department, and he and the Herb Department are in the same system. If the Herb Department is considered a fat man, then the Alchemy Department is really rich. It's oily.

The cultivation world recognizes the four major "profiteering industries", including alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and formation formation. Among these four major industries, alchemy is the first, and the most profitable.

Alchemists have a transcendent status in the world of cultivation. Take the Qianyi Sect as an example. Qin Haoran, the deacon of the Alchemy Department, is the chief alchemist. Within the sect, even the masters of the three halls respect him.

The Alchemy Department is a large department with more than a hundred people. Of course, not all of them are alchemists. Most of them are "men" like Mu Pingbo, who specialize in handling chores in the Alchemy Department, such as helping the alchemists prepare elixirs. Required herbs, processing waste elixirs, etc.

Alchemists naturally have no shortage of elixirs and herbs, but not everyone can use those herbs without restrictions. If the herbs are taken from the department to make elixirs, most of the elixirs produced must be handed over to the sect.

Therefore, some alchemists have privately contacted their disciples of the Herbal Medicine Department to "purchase" the herbs needed for alchemy at "low prices", refine the elixirs and sell them. For Qi-nourishing pills, one pill costs a spiritual stone, which is suitable for For disciples in the early stages of Qi training, one Qi Condensing Pill on the market requires four spirit stones, so it is suitable for disciples in the middle stage of Qi training.

Pills are much more helpful to practitioners than spiritual stones. First of all, the pills contain a large amount of spiritual energy, which melts immediately upon entry, saving the step of introducing the energy into the body. Furthermore, the spiritual energy can be refined very smoothly, and is better than the absorbed spiritual energy. The spiritual energy is several times faster.

Selling medicinal herbs privately is a great benefit for the disciples of the Herbology Department. Although the sect prohibits this behavior, no one is serious enough to investigate. Every department and department of the Qianyi Sect has its own gray income. This is an open secret.

The sect has its own quota. As long as the amount that Corey turns in reaches the quota, the rest will not care about you.

Tang Ning handed him the herbs she had picked. Mu Pingbo counted them and thanked him, then slowly left on his wooden bird.

After he walked away, Tang Ning opened the bottle cap containing Qi Condensing Pills and counted five Qi Condensing Pills inside.

He carefully put away the Qi Condensing Pills. He was reluctant to take these pills now. Only by waiting until the middle stage of Qi training can he take the Qi Condensing Pills to their fullest effect. It would be too wasteful to take them now.

For practitioners, the higher the elixir, the better. It must be suitable for oneself.

The human body is like a container, and so are practitioners. The spiritual energy contained in the elixir is like water, and when the water is full, it overflows.

His body can only absorb the spiritual energy contained in one Qi-Nourishing Pill at one time. If he consumes the Qi-Condensing Pill, the effect will be the same. Although the spiritual energy contained in the Qi-Condensing Pill is several times that of the Qi-Nourishing Pill, he cannot absorb that much.

Tangning returned to the bamboo house and carried two buckets and a large bag to the herb garden. The buckets contained two full buckets of crimson liquid, and the bag contained a large bag of golden powder.

This crimson liquid is a kind of spiritual liquid, which can protect the growth of medicinal herbs from being eroded by insects and ants. The golden yellow powder is a kind of rice powder, which contains weak spiritual energy. It is the "bait" for these medicinal herbs, which can Help herbs grow vigorously.

The fairy valley grown in Tangliu Village was called Jinhuo Valley, and these golden powders are the powder after the Jinhuo Valley was crushed.

He sprinkled the crimson liquid and Golden Fire Valley powder on the medicinal herbs, back and forth three times. In fact, according to department regulations, it was necessary to sprinkle it once in the morning, noon and evening. Tang Ning wanted to save trouble and sprinkled it three times at once.

Rules are dead, people are alive. Everyone is doing this anyway, he is not alone, whether he is a senior or a junior, the blame must be on those seniors.

After finishing these tasks, Tang Ning took out the purple gold gourd from her storage bag and injected spiritual energy into it. The gourd swelled in the wind and soared into the sky.

………………

Laogu Peak is located in the westernmost part of Qianyizong. It was not called Laogu Peak at first. This was the name given to it by later generations. As for the original name, he did not know. He only knew that this peak was originally used to raise mountain guardian spirits. In the place of beasts, the ancestor Qin Qianyi had a spiritual beast. After founding the Qianyi Sect, this spiritual beast became the mountain-protecting spiritual beast.

The spiritual beast that protected the mountain died 2,500 years ago. Therefore, the spiritual energy of the land was thin and no one wanted to stop there. Later generations called it Laogu Peak. At first, there were often disciples doing some shameful things here. Later, gradually there were Some people have done secretive business here, and to this day, Laogu Peak has become a trading hub for disciples within the sect.

As long as there are things in the sect, everything is available here, and the prices are affordable, and they are all from the same sect. After all, you can know everything with just a little inquiry, and no one can cheat anyone.

Tang Ning put away the gourd and walked through the dazzling variety of "commodity" stalls before coming straight to a stall owner. The stall owner had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, his eyes drifted back and forth from time to time, and he had a standard face of a profiteer. There is a large wooden board with the words: All kinds of Qi Refining Period elixirs at reasonable prices.

"Hey, Junior Brother Tang, we're here again. Do you need anything?" the stall owner said with a smile on his face. His name is Wu Datong, and he is a disciple of the Mountain Protection Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Logically speaking, such a person has nothing to do with elixirs. I don’t know what kind of magical power he has. He can actually get all the elixirs below the foundation building level and sell them here regularly.

Most of the disciples of the Qianyi Sect purchased their elixirs from him, and he seemed to be the sales agent of the elixir department.
