Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Everyone was waiting outside. After about two-quarters of an hour, the light curtain melted again, and a group of people filed out, forming two teams. There were about twenty people, all monks from the Chamber of Commerce.

Chen Fan followed a man with a beard and cheeks, walked straight to Tang Ning, and introduced, "Senior Brother Tang, this is fellow Taoist Lu Qingyuan from the Chamber of Commerce, who is responsible for the loading and unloading of our materials in Fang City. Fellow Daoist Lu, this is Senior Brother Tang Ning from our sect who is in charge of escorting us.”

"Friend Daoist Lu, I have long admired your name." Tang Ning bowed his head and said.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, please come with us!" Lu Qingyuan said expressionlessly.

Tang Ning waved his hand, and the disciples filed in behind him. The monks from the Chamber of Commerce were guarding them on both sides. They entered the market and after walking for less than half an hour, they arrived at a huge storage pavilion.

Its pavilion is about a hundred feet high and covers an area of ​​several miles. It has the three characters "Property Management Pavilion" written on it.

As everyone entered the room, a man dressed in Baoxing Chamber of Commerce dodges and falls in front of them. He exchanges a few words with Lu Qingyuan, and then points to a room in the northwest corner of the attic.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, please store your supplies in that room." Lu Qingyuan said.

Tang Ning nodded and said hello, and directed everyone to carry the stone boxes into the room one by one. The room was empty, and it was more than enough for twenty-five stone boxes.

There are dozens of rooms like this in the entire warehouse, and there are ten warehouses of this size in the city.

Everyone arranged the stone boxes neatly in the room and filed out. A monk from the Chamber of Commerce turned his left hand and took out a white scroll about one foot long. He wrote the six characters "Qian Yizong Fire Bird" and pasted it on the Outside room.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I'm sorry." Chen Fan took out a storage bag and handed it to him.

Lu Qingyuan took the storage bag and then showed a smile: "We are all old friends. Fellow Daoist Chen is so polite. Don't worry! Just leave everything to us."

"Thank you."

At this time, a city official pulled out several booklets and handed them to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan signed and pledged it one by one, and everyone left the property management pavilion.

"Senior Brother Tang, please lead the disciples back to the sect first. Junior Brother Shen and Junior Brother Wei and I will stay here for a while to be responsible for the handover of the Flaming Bird," Chen Fandao said.

"Okay." Tangning nodded and led everyone straight out of the city.

They traveled day and night for more than a month and finally returned to Tianshui Lake.

From a distance, some sentry disciples spotted them. In the distance, a ray of light shot out, revealing the figure of Zhang Chong.

He bowed his head and said, "Senior Brother Tang, you are back. Is everything going well?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "It went very well. The Flaming Bird has been escorted to Fangshi. Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Shen and Junior Brother Wei are staying there to take charge of the handover. I'll come back first. How are you doing here? Nothing has happened in the past six months, right? !”

Zhang Chong said: "The weather is calm. Since the Demon Sect was defeated last time, it must have known its power and did not dare to attack this place rashly again."

"Junior brothers and garrison disciples, please go back to the main formation first to guard against the Demon Sect. I have to go back to the sect and give orders to Uncle Peng. The disciple responsible for escorting the sect will go with me."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Tang Ning jumped into the air, and the forty escorting disciples followed him with flying swords, and the group headed southeast.

……………………

After traveling for a day, Tang Ning returned to the sect. Tang Ning ordered his disciples to go back to their respective departments. He then came to the Peng Wanli Cave in Yuanyi Hall, waved his hand, and handed the talisman into the thick fog.

Soon, as the thick fog rolled, a ray of light flashed out, revealing the figure of a slender man. He bowed his head and said, "Senior Brother Tang, Uncle Peng, please come in."

The two of them entered the inner room one after the other and went straight to the main room. Tang Ning bowed to Peng Wanli who was sitting cross-legged on the futon and said, "Disciple pays homage to Master."

Peng Wanli said: "You're back, how are you? Is it going well?"

"Everything goes well. Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Shen, and Junior Brother Wei are staying in Fangshi to take charge of the subsequent handover. The disciple will come back first to take orders. I dare to ask, Uncle Master, is the next step for the disciple to return to the Ministry or Department?"

"Tianshui Lake cannot be left unguarded. With you here, we can rest assured. The affairs of the Intelligence Department will be left to your department to handle them with full authority. You will come back when a suitable candidate is found."

"Yes, disciple, please leave." Tang Ning left the room, turned into light and walked. Not long after, she came to Luo Qingshui Cave in Qianxing Mountain, entered the room and saluted him, "Disciple pays homage to the master."

"sit down!"

"yes."

"How is the situation over at Tianshui Lake?"

"Everything goes well. The disciple has escorted the Flaming Bird to Fangshi. I came here to tell my uncle the order."

"Have you met Junior Brother Peng?"

"I just went to take my orders."

"How did he say?"

"Uncle Peng asked his disciples to continue guarding Tianshui Lake and return to the sect when a suitable candidate is found."

Luo Qingshui nodded and said: "Then go! Nowadays, the Demon Sect is attacking our territory on a large scale, and disciples are needed to guard every place. Tianshui Lake is one of our important resource industries, with millions of spiritual stones, if the Demon Sect is It’s ruined and it’s a huge blow to the sect’s finances. With you here, we can feel more at ease and let others handle the affairs of the Intelligence Department!”

"yes."

"Go!"

"Disciple, please retire." Tang Ning left Qianxing Mountain and returned to the cave to rest for the night.

The next day, he left the sect, returned to Tianshui Lake, and took over the defense affairs again.

………………………

The days passed peacefully, and several years passed in a flash.

In the past few years, there have been wars and wars in Chu State, and small-scale conflicts between the Demon Sect and Xuanmen have continued to break out. The Demon Sect has attacked from all sides, looting and attacking various industrial places where Xuanmen is stationed.

Two years ago, a large-scale conflict broke out between the two sides. The Xuanmen monks stationed at the Yingxia Mountain camp fought head-on with the Demon Sect monks stationed at the Wancong Mountain camp.

As a result, in less than three days, the Demon Sect took the initiative to retreat. Although the battle was loud and the raindrops were light, none of the high-level monks were killed, but the foundation-building Qi-refining disciples suffered many casualties.

Although there was a lively fight outside, Tianshui Lake was sitting on the Diaoyutai despite the wind and waves.

Because this place is too close to the sect, the Demon Sect is invaded by small groups such as Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining, and plunders everywhere. The Jindan monks dare not go deep into the dangerous situation, and it is useless for the Foundation Establishment monks to come before they can wait for them. Once the formation is broken, the sect's support will arrive.

Since the last time the Demon Sect dispatched a sixteen-man foundation-building team but returned without success, they have never attacked this place again.

……………………

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the room, refining her Qi and practicing. Suddenly, the storage bag around her waist shook. He opened his eyes, took out the formation plate a little, took the talisman into his hand, poured his spiritual consciousness, and heard a man's voice in his mind. .

But it was Li Xian, the captain of the Intelligence Division's air rescue team, who said he had received clues about the auction and came here to report it.

Six months ago, Tang Ning returned to the sect and gave orders to various intelligence stations, asking them to find clues about the auction.

The purpose is to purchase the materials needed to condense the elixir through the auction, and prepare for the future attack on the golden elixir realm.

He now has Xin Yunzhi and Gentian Dan, but these two are not enough. At least a set of formations to resist the invasion of the spiritual power of heaven and earth and an elixir to cleanse the marrow and ease the bones are needed.

These four items are indispensable. Of course, the more auxiliary materials, the better. Forming an elixir is ten times more dangerous than building a foundation, so the more thorough the preparations, the better.

These items are not available in ordinary markets and shops. Tang Ning also went to the Duanjishan Market to inquire and almost visited all the shops there, but none of them sold these items.

Therefore, I had no choice but to try my luck through the auction. If that didn't work, I had to leave Xingang and go to the big islands in Qinghai to buy.

Tang Ning fiddled with the array plate, and a gap appeared in the outer light curtain. A man with a smooth forehead and a broad face was waiting. When he saw the light curtain melting, he flashed into the inner room, came to Tang Ning's room, and knocked on the door. Knock the room.

"Come in."

Li Xian pushed open the door and entered, bowing and saluting: "Disciple pays homage to Master Tang."

Tangning asked: "Where will the auction be held?"

Li Xian turned his left hand, took out a file and handed it to him with both hands: "This is the news from the Bianjing Intelligence Station five days ago. The specific location is not known to the disciples. Master Xu received this news and sent a disciple to inform him ”

Tang Ning took the file and unfolded it and took a look at it, but she saw it said: Fang Yuan, a disciple of the Bianjing Southern Intelligence Station, reported. The disciple inquired and learned that there will be a secret auction in Bianjing. I heard that it will be organized by the Chamber of Commerce. Specially Report to Uncle Master. "

"I understand." Tangning put away the file, turned her hand over, took out two medium-grade spiritual stones and handed them to him: "Go back!"

"Thank you, uncle. Disciple, please leave." Li Xian took the spirit stone and exited the room.

"Here comes someone," Tangning shouted, her voice carried far away.

Not long after, a disciple pushed open the door and entered, bowed and said, "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go and invite Junior Brother Chen Fan."

"yes."

………………

Around tea time, footsteps could be heard outside. Chen Fan came in from the outside and said, "Senior Brother Tang, what are your instructions for calling me here?"

"Oh, I have to go out for something. I'll leave the defense of the formation to you." Tangning flipped her left hand, took out the central formation plate and handed it to him.

Chen Fan took the array and asked, "How long will it take Senior Brother Tang to go out? Do you want to say hello to the sect?"

"That's not necessary. I'm going out to do some personal things and I'll be back in a few days. Just be on guard."

Chen Fan nodded and said hello, and the two of them left the room. Tang Ning turned into a flying light, emerged from the formation, and headed south.
