Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning was sitting in the cave, with little white snakes curled up around him. There were fairy mother-of-pearl clams on the stone table, and a black teng tree was planted in the corner behind her.

He placed his hands on the mother clam, and the green spiritual power in his body was continuously poured into it. He stopped pouring spiritual power until his face turned pale, sweat dripped slightly on his forehead, and the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted.

It was dark inside the Wujianya cave. He didn't know how long it had been. He was either watering the fairy mother-of-pearl clams or cultivating the black teng tree all day long.

Inadvertently, five years have passed since he first entered Wujian Cliff.

Under his spiritual irrigation day and night, the dead black Teng tree sprouted new branches and leaves in spring. The originally dry roots buried under the ground are now very full, criss-crossing, and the Teng tree has grown one foot taller. More than enough, it is now five feet high.

Within the tree, the sword soul of the girl in white became increasingly powerful. At first, she was just a ray of white light, but now she has solidified into a solid body, and her effectiveness has been tremendous.

I think that when Xiang Jingxing, a disciple of the Demon Sect, summoned her out of the iron scroll, she was just a phantom. She only managed to become a physical entity after absorbing Xiang Jingxing's essence and blood.

The vertical entity could not hold on for long. It quickly ran out of energy and almost dissipated in mid-air.

Now that he has cultivated himself into a physical entity, it can be seen that this Teng tree does have extraordinary effects on him.

The girl in white was sitting cross-legged in the teng tree, closing her eyes and breathing out her Qi like a monk, just like a lifelike living person.

The dead wood of the Teng tree came back to life in spring, which gave Tang Ning great confidence. Since the dead Teng tree could be rejuvenated under the irrigation of his green spiritual power, then the fairy pearl mussel should also be rejuvenated.

At that time in Duanjishanfang City, the old man in charge of the auction made it very clear that the fairy mother-of-pearl clam was only withered, not necrotic. Of course, it is not ruled out that the old man deceived him.

In any case, even if it is really necrotic, it is still worth a try. If the Teng tree can survive, the fairy mother-of-pearl clam may not be able to live again.

This was found in the ancient ruins of Jingbei. It goes without saying that it has a great background. If it can be revitalized, its value will be immeasurable. There is no response now, maybe it's just that the amount of green spiritual power infused into him is not enough.

So Tang Ning poured spiritual energy into it day and night, hoping that it would come back to life.

He placed his hands on the mother clam, and the spiritual power in his body continued to pour into it. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, there was a knock on the door of "Tong Tong Tong" from outside.

Tang Ning moved toward the storage bag, put away the fairy mother-of-pearl clams, and said, "Come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone door opened. A tall and thin disciple from outside walked into the cave with a flying sword. He bowed to him and saluted. He turned his hand and handed him a storage bag: "Uncle Tang, what do you want?" Bought all the elixirs.”

Tangning took the storage bag, took out a few medium-grade spiritual stones and handed them to him: "Sorry to trouble you."

The man took the spirit stone and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, uncle. If you need anything else, just give me your instructions."

"I will naturally come to you if I cause trouble for you again."

"The disciple takes his leave first." The man turned around and left the cave, and the stone door closed with a bang.

Tang Ning sat on the stone bench, took out the twelve bottles of elixirs from the storage bag, checked them over and put them into her storage bag.

Since lifting the physical restraint and restoring the operation of spiritual power, he has built the confinement room in Wujianya like a cave. It has stone benches, stone tables and stone beds. Except that the place is a little smaller, it is no different from the main room of his cave. Both.

Although he encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation during the Sighing Tribulation, the little white snake needed to be fed with elixirs every day, including using green spiritual power to irrigate the black Teng tree and fairy mother-of-pearl clams. He also needed the elixirs to restore his spiritual power as soon as possible, otherwise he would just rely on meditation to absorb it. As for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the effect of five days is not as good as the effect of pills in one day.

Not to mention that spiritual power is scarce in Wujian Cliff. By absorbing and breathing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would be difficult to recover the spiritual power in the body within ten days and a half.

Since the sect reformed and implemented the merit system, he has made many meritorious deeds and killed many demon sect monks. The merit points have already reached 900 points, which is enough to enjoy the sect's third-level resources, that is, the allocation of lower-level resources. , the Lingshi salary also increased from 2,000 to 6,000 per month.

But after being imprisoned in Wujianya, Dai Zui was unable to receive the sect's salary and was fined another hundred thousand spiritual stones.

Therefore, over the past few years, most of the saved spiritual stones have been used up. If this continues, the only way to survive is by selling spiritual weapons or talismans.

In the past five years, he had spent three to four hundred thousand spirit stones on elixirs alone. Little White Snake needed one pill to strengthen his body every day, and sometimes even two pills.

One Strengthening Pill costs one hundred spirit stones, which is equivalent to three thousand spirit stones in a month. It costs about forty thousand spirit stones in a year.

In addition to the cost of Tang Ning's own Xiaoyang Pill, which is two hundred spirit stones, he is now facing a bottleneck. He does not need to take it every day, but it costs two to three thousand spirit stones in a month, and four to five a year. Ten thousand.

Back then, he obtained millions of spiritual stones from Jingping Mountain. He originally thought he could cultivate to the golden elixir, but now it seems that it is far from enough. Over the years, he has killed many demon sect monks and obtained many spiritual stones, but even so. , it is still not enough to consume the elixir.

He finally understood why he put wealth first among the four treasures in the spiritual world. Without the elixir, just by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the results in five years would not be as good as the elixir in one year. effect.

On Xushu Mountain, in the main formation and in the meeting hall, the senior officials of Youmei Sect gathered together.

Zheng Jiehuai sat on the high seat and said: "Today we urgently summoned all the junior brothers here to discuss matters. There is an important matter. Zhang Zifeng, please tell me the specific information! The person was captured by your supervisory team."

"Yes." The man with a fair complexion and hawk-like eyes and thin lips below responded: "All of you, uncles, must be aware of the defection of our sect Master Hu's disciple Zheng Wei twenty years ago. In fact, there were many doubts about this matter at the time. Just because we got information that Zheng Wei has surrendered to the Qianyi Sect and was even assigned to the head of the Zhili Department, so the sect treats him as a defected disciple. "

"Actually, the supervisory team has not relaxed its surveillance of other people. Now, it can be said with certainty that Zheng Wei is just a scapegoat. The real secret agent of Xuanmen lurking inside me is Uncle Hu's first disciple Xiao Hui Shao."

Hearing this, several people glanced at Hu Xufan and saw that his face was expressionless and motionless.

Zhang Zifeng continued: "At that time, we intercepted Xuan Ying's message in a secret cave. After comparison, we confirmed that it was an autographed letter from Tong Quan'an, the master of Qianyi Zongjie Secret Academy."

"In addition, our intelligence information has been repeatedly leaked before, including some secret information, such as the manpower and route of the materials escorted by the disciples. Xuanmen has captured them clearly, and we have suffered heavy losses for this."

"Therefore, we suspect that we have some powerful disciples within the sect. Four of them are the key suspects, namely Xiao Huishao, Zheng Wei, Yang Wenxiu, and Jia Shitai."

"Because within the original Corpse Puppet Sect, only these four people knew the inside story. At that time, our sect had just arrived in Chu State, and it was impossible for the Qianyi Sect to penetrate so deeply within us so quickly."

"In order to protect Xiao Huishao's identity, Xuanmen sent Tang Ning from the Intelligence Department and Jiang Yuhuan from the Forbidden Secrets Department to Qinchuan, and used a trick to successfully transfer the target person to Zheng Wei."

"At that time, I stated my views and concerns to the leader. On the surface, the sect recognized Zheng Wei's identity as a spy. In fact, in the mainland, Xiao Huishao, Yang Wenxiu, and Jia Shitai were secretly investigated and monitored."

"Xiao Shaohui was very cautious. After Zheng Wei was taken away, he had no contact with Qian Yizong for a long time. As time passed, he finally showed his flaws."

"Yesterday we found out in Netherworld Gufang City that he was in contact with someone who was in contact with Xuanmen. Now both of them have been captured by us. It has been confirmed that the person who was in contact with him is a disciple of the Qianyi Sect."

Zheng Jiehuai sighed: "The Qianyi Sect has penetrated us so deeply, and how much do we know about the internal affairs of the Qianyi Sect! If it hadn't been for Master Nephew Zhang this time, if Xiao Shaohui had advanced to the realm of Jindan someday, the consequences would have been It’s simply unimaginable.”

The old man with white beard and hair below said: "We have no restrictions on recruiting disciples. Regardless of casual cultivators, disciples of aristocratic cultivating families, or those who have not yet transformed from the mortal world, we will all be recruited. Because of this, we have been able to grow rapidly. There is naturally fishing in troubled waters here. , the meticulous work arranged by Xuanmen is inevitable. "

Zheng Jiehuai nodded and said: "How can I not know what Junior Brother Duan said? But in order to prevent the slightest change, I intend to set up a team in addition to the Supervision Team to investigate and review the backgrounds of new disciples. Junior Brothers think that how?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zheng Jiehuai said: "In that case, Zhang Zifeng, you are still fully responsible for this matter. You can select reliable disciples within the sect and set up an investigation team to review all new disciples. Let's call this team the review team. !”
