Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Time flashed, and several years passed. In front of Broken Ridge Mountain Market, a ray of light shot out, and a figure of a handsome man appeared, it was Tang Ning.

With a wave of his hand, the transmission note sank into it, and soon, the light curtain melted into a gap.

He flashed into the inner room and went straight to a towering attic in the northwest corner of the formation.

Two disciples on duty stopped him and said, "Senior Tang, please wait a moment while I let this junior go and report to Lord Wei." After saying that, he turned around and left, and returned a short while later and said, "Master Wei, please come in. ”

Tang Ning followed him to the inner hall. Sitting above him was an elegant man with a fair complexion, Wei Yunxian, the steward of Duanjishanfang City.

He is the general manager who is responsible for all trade dealings with the Qianyi Sect, including the purchase and sale of cultivation materials, as well as the spiritual stones stored in the Baoxing Bank of the sect.

"Fellow Taoist Tang is here, please take a seat." Wei Yunxian said.

Tang Ning sat down as he was told and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei, why did the spirit beasts that our sect entrusted to your chamber of commerce for transport were not delivered to the chamber of commerce as scheduled? If they accused our sect of missing the deadline and demanded compensation and payment of spirit stones, how would our sect respond? Should your chamber of commerce?" Give me an answer?"

The merchant ship of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce was robbed in Qinghai. Fangshi sent people to inform the sect that a batch of Flamingo birds they had previously delivered was hijacked by the skeleton ship on this merchant ship. After Luo Qingshui heard the news, he sent Tangning came over to discuss the matter with Fangshi and see how they planned to handle it.

Wei Yunxian smiled and said: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist Tang. This matter was completely an accident. Our merchant ship was robbed by a skeleton ship while sailing in the Qinghai Sea, so we lost some supplies. Now the Chamber of Commerce has sent a team to attack the sea. The skeleton ship."

"Can we recover the looted materials?"

"The chance is very slim, but don't worry. The Chamber of Commerce will pay you the corresponding amount according to the agreement. As for the Yuanming Chamber of Commerce, there is no need to worry. They bought the right to breed spirit beasts from us and will not embarrass you."

"Fellow Daoist Wei, how many spiritual stones will your chamber of commerce pay us?"

"One hundred thousand spiritual stones. We will pay compensation to your sect for one hundred thousand spiritual stones. If you have no objections, please sign and pledge it!" Wei Yunxian flipped over with his left hand and took out a file and handed it to him.

Tang Ning took the file and took a look at it: "Fellow Taoist, are you joking! This time, our sect will hand over 25,000 flaming birds to your Chamber of Commerce and load them into merchant ships. We have already paid the transportation costs."

"Now we only pay one hundred thousand spirit stones, which is not even a fraction. According to the agreement, you will be fully responsible for the goods when they are delivered to you. Once the goods are damaged, you need to compensate in full. Twenty-five thousand flaming birds, the market value Five hundred thousand spiritual stones.”

"We don't care about the risks and losses of round-trip transportation. Now your Chamber of Commerce will only pay one hundred thousand spirit stones. This is unjustifiable!"

Wei Yunxian said: "That's for general merchandise. The Flamingo you transported does not fall into this category."

"What Fellow Daoist Wei means is that the Flaming Bird is a special material? I wonder what makes it special? Could it be that even a mere first-order spiritual beast of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce thinks it is extraordinary? Fellow Daoist, please give me some advice."

Wei Yunxian smiled and said: "Of course the flaming birds are general commodities, but the flaming birds bred by your sect are a little special."

"Oh? What does this mean? Why is our sect's Flame Bird special? Fellow Taoist, please explain clearly."

Wei Yunxian said: "As far as I know, Xingang Xuanmen purchased a total of 200,000 flamingo breeding quotas from the Yuanming Chamber of Commerce. They were divided into three parts. Each sect has a quota of about 60,000 to 70,000 birds. Is this true?"

Tangning nodded and said, "Yes, what does this have to do with your sect's compensation agreement? Is it because our quota is small that your chamber of commerce can violate the agreement and refuse to pay the spiritual stones?"

Wei Yunxian said: "Fellow Taoist, please be patient and listen to what I have to say. Xingang Sanxuanmen bought a quota of 200,000 flamingos from the Chamber of Commerce. Of course, it also bought 20,000 cubs. The breeding of flamingos itself does not require All it takes is a lake and a lot of fry.”

"As far as I know, after so many years of breeding, each of your three Xuanmen families has hundreds of thousands of flaming birds, but they cannot sell them because the quota is not enough."

"In other words, each of your families has tens of thousands of flamingo birds as spares. If nothing else happens, these flamingo birds will not be used. I even heard that you will clear out some rations every year to avoid large groups and fish stocks. Not enough food will affect the growth of young birds. "

Tang Ning said: "I don't know what the relationship between what fellow Taoist said and your chamber of commerce's compensation agreement is?"

"Of course it does matter. You already have a large number of useless Flamingo Birds. If we compensate you according to the market price, it means that you have earned these Flamingo Birds spiritual stones in vain. We will pay five hundred thousand in compensation, and you can use them again. Is it fair that the redundant Flamingo earns half a million?”

Tang Ning said: "With all due respect, what my fellow Taoist said is simply ridiculous. Our sect's hoarding of Fire Birds is a precautionary measure to prevent the Demon Sect from being robbed. The robbery of your chamber of commerce's merchant ship has nothing to do with us. We have completed the agreement and paid a high sum of money." Freight charges, but your Chamber of Commerce uses the excuse that our sect has the goods in reserve to refuse to fulfill the agreement. If your Chamber of Commerce acts like this, if the world knows about it, it may cause criticism. "

Wei Yunxian said: "My Taoist friend is exaggerating. This is our internal matter, and it is not worthy of commenting on outsiders!"

"What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Wei?"

"The Flaming Bird was acquired by your sect from the Chamber of Commerce, and the authorization of the Chamber of Commerce was purchased from us. In other words, the previous owner of the Flaming Bird is our Chamber of Commerce. Now we are talking about the compensation of the Flaming Bird. Isn't it an internal matter? ?”

Tangning was silent for a while: "I understand what Fellow Taoist meant. Can I understand it this way? The quota of flamingos in our hands was actually purchased from your Chamber of Commerce. Your Chamber of Commerce has the right to decide whether to allow us to continue breeding."

Wei Yunxian smiled: "I didn't say that. Of course, if you want to understand it this way, there is nothing we can do."

Tang Ning said: "We have an agreement with the Yuanming Chamber of Commerce. If they want to eliminate our sect, they will need to pay a large amount of breach of contract fees."

Wei Yunxian said: "I know that when it comes to the agreement, no one knows it better than us. The content of the agreement is to unreasonably exclude you and require payment of breach of contract fees. However, if it is not necessary due to your fault, in fact, any agreement in the world is just a piece of paper. ”

"If you want to pursue equality in the agreement, you must have equal strength on both sides. Just like the cultivating families under your Xuanmen, once you find out that they have colluded with the Demon Sect, they will confiscate their homes and exterminate their families. They are not your subordinates, and What’s the crime of communicating with the Demon Sect?”

"In the final analysis, it's just that the two are not equal in strength, so you can give them groundless charges."

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to inform the headmaster of our sect. I'll leave first." Tang Ning stood up and said.

"Wait a minute." Wei Yunxian said.

"Do you have anything else to do, fellow Taoist?"

Wei Yunxian said: "The items that Fellow Taoist Tang asked me to buy last time have arrived. Since you are here, let's take them with you! Someone."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man with a beard and full cheeks walked in outside and saluted, "What are your orders, sir?"

"Go and ask Team Leader Yu to bring the soul-controlling milk that he bought from Crescent Island last time."

"Yes." The man took the order and left.

After hearing this, Tang Ning sat back down. He asked Wei Yunxian to buy the soul-controlling milk from Crescent Island, and the purpose was naturally for Gu Yuanya to build her foundation.

Three years ago, he successfully broke through the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi refining and reached the tenth level of Qi refining. Now he only needs to cultivate to the Great Perfection to hit the foundation.

Of course, Tang Ning had to prepare the foundation-building items for her. The foundation-building pill, the marrow-cleansing pill, and the five-door water cloud formation were all ready. The only thing left was the soul-controlling spiritual milk, which she had nowhere to buy.

He remembered the auction that Fangshi had secretly reported, and that this item had been auctioned before. He thought that the Chamber of Commerce should have stock, so he approached Wei Yunxian and asked him to help get a bottle.

About an incense stick later, footsteps sounded outside, and a middle-aged man with a leopard head and ape-like arms came in, bowed and said, "What are your orders, Mr. Wei?"

Wei Yunxian said: "Yu Ming, last time you went to Crescent Island, one of the goods you were asked to carry included a bottle of soul-controlling milk. This is the request of fellow Taoist Tang, so please bring it!"

"Yes." The man turned his left hand and took out a small black bottle and gave it to him with both hands.

Tang Ning took the mysterious bottle, opened it, took a look, nodded, took out the storage bag, took out 80,000 spirit stones, and handed it to Wei Yunxian.

He had previously paid a deposit of 20,000 spirit stones. Adding these 80,000 spirit stones, the total was 100,000 spirit stones. Although it was a bit expensive, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, it was indeed a rare commodity.

Wei Yunxian took the spirit stone and said with a smile: "Please think twice about the Flaming Bird."

"Farewell." Tangning left directly, left Fangshi, and headed north with the light rising.

………………

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. On a remote hill, a figure pointed straight down with a sword, and a man with a square face, big ears, and bright eyes appeared. He glanced around, with a look of alertness in his eyes.

Seeing that there was no one around, he walked to the side of a huge stone and sat cross-legged.

About half an hour later, two escaping lights came from the northwest, revealing two figures: Tang Ning and Xu Yuan, the head of the Nighthawk Intelligence Station.

When the man saw the two people disappearing from the light, he quickly stood up and looked at Tang Ning warily: "Senior Xu, who is this senior?"

Xu Yuan said: "This is Master Tang from our sect. He wants to meet you. Master Tang, he is Zhang Huiyong."

The man was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that this young and handsome man was actually a senior member of the Qian Yizong. He immediately saluted and asked, "I don't know why Senior Tang wants to see this junior?"

Tang Ning said: "Zhang Huiyong, do you know why we arranged for you to enter the Blood and Bone Sect?"

Zhang Huiyong said: "Senior wants me to provide your sect with information about the Blood and Bone Sect."

"Wrong, you are not providing me with information about the Blood and Bone Sect, but you are providing me with information about the Iron Painted Bones."
