Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In the alchemy room, Tang Ning's eyes were slightly closed, her right hand was placed on the hole of the alchemy cauldron, and the fire transformed by her spiritual power surrounded the elixir.

Small beads of sweat had formed on his forehead. It was obvious that his spiritual power and consciousness had been consumed a lot. After a while, he opened his eyes and patted the alchemy cauldron, and a black and round elixir spit out from the dragon's mouth.

Tang Ning wiped the sweat from her forehead, put the elixir in the wooden box into a bottle, put it into a storage bag, then sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and rested to recover her lost spiritual power and consciousness.

Since he was promoted to Jindan, he has been short of money. His annual salary is only 200,000 yuan, plus the 100,000 spirit stones secretly, the total is only about 300,000 spirit stones.

The price of one Huang Yuandan is 2,000 spirit stones, and the price of one bottle is 60,000 spirit stones. His salary adds up to the price of five bottles of Huang Yuandan. Over the years, he has been unable to make ends meet, with only half a year at most. Use time to practice.

There is no way, with his current cultivation level, it would be too slow to rely on meditation to absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He can only rely on elixirs. His savings of hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones are barely enough in the foundation building period, and he can reach the golden elixir level. It’s really not enough to watch, so it would be great to be able to practice for half a year every year.

This means that he spends 360,000 spiritual stones on elixirs every year, and the remaining half of the year is either refining elixirs or dealing with affairs.

Therefore, his cultivation progress has been quite slow over the years.

In addition to the elixirs, he also had to spend money on Little White Snake, one Xiaoyang Pill a day. In addition, Gu Yuanya also had to rely on him for the expenses on his practice. It is no exaggeration to say that this whole family depends on him alone. Keep it up, fortunately he knows alchemy and can subsidize a large amount of spiritual stones.

With his current skills, he can refine twenty Xiaoyang Pills in one day. Including rest time, he can earn two to three hundred thousand spirit stones by spending three months of the year refining the pills.

This was mainly due to his status as the steward of Yuan Yidian. He could use the medicinal herbs in the sect at his own discretion, thus saving a large sum of spiritual stones.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door outside the house. Tang Ning opened her eyes and frowned slightly. He hated being disturbed when he was refining alchemy.

"Come in."

A tall figure stood outside. A man with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes pushed the door in. It was Zhang Xingfan, a direct subordinate of the headmaster. After he entered, he bowed and saluted: "Disciple, by order of the headmaster, please invite Uncle Tang to come to the house for a brief introduction."

Tang Ning nodded, stood up and followed him out of the alchemy room. After a short while, she came to the main room of Luo Qingshui Cave Mansion, bowed and sat down, "What did the unknown master call me to do?"

"You must not know yet! Half an hour ago, a disciple was injured outside Junior Brother Tong's cave." Luo Qingshui said calmly.

Tang Ning's mind was moved. There was a disciple in the sect who was injured, and it was in front of Tong Quan'an's cave. It must not be as simple as a normal fight, otherwise Luo Qingshui wouldn't have called him here specifically: "Could it be that the spiritual power leaked and the disciple was injured?"

Luo Qingshui nodded and sighed slightly: "The elders in the sect are dying one after another, and it will be up to you in the future. Junior Brother Tong is about to resign as the leader of Xuande Hall, are you interested in fighting for the election?"

Since Tong Quan'an couldn't even control the spiritual power in his body, causing the spiritual power to leak out, this was a sign that his life span was over. He would inevitably die in a few months or ten days.

As soon as he passed away, the position of the head of the Xuande Hall was naturally vacant. Tang Ning wanted to compete for this position. If she could be promoted to this position, not only would her salary increase by 100,000 spiritual stones, but she would also receive a secret share.

According to the standards of the three halls, the master of the hall takes at least 300,000 spirit stones from the budget, plus 300,000 as salary, which is 600,000 spirit stones a year, and now he only gets 300,000 spirit stones every year, openly and secretly.

In other words, if he can be promoted to the master of Xuande Hall, his annual spiritual stone income can be doubled.

The only problem is that his cultivation level is not high enough. Generally speaking, the position of the leader of the three halls of a sect must be at least a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Among the nine Jindan monks in the sect, only Tong Quan'an and Cheng Shuimin are in the middle stage of Jindan in history.

Luo Qingshui and Peng Wanli are in the late Jindan stage.

The remaining members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhuang Xingan, Yin Qingyuan of the Secret Academy, and Jiang Yuhuan, the steward of Qingxuan Palace, including himself, were all in the early stage of Jindan.

"This disciple wants to fight for it, but he's just afraid that his cultivation level is not enough."

Luo Qingshui said: "Currently there is no suitable candidate in the sect. Except for Junior Brother Cheng, everyone else is not sufficiently cultivated. However, Junior Brother Cheng is already nearing his end of life. I think he may not fight for this position. I miss you." There’s still a good chance.”

"Thank you, Master." Tangning felt slightly happy.

Luo Qingshui's words undoubtedly showed that he would support him. The appointment of the head of each hall and courtyard was not decided by the top management, but was selected by the department managers of the palace.

Luo Qingshui has been in Xuande Hall for many years and has deep-rooted influence. With his support, it can be said that the position of the leader of Xuande Hall is guaranteed.

Luo Qingshui said: "When you have time, go visit Junior Brother Tong!"

"Yes, disciple understands." Tang Ning responded. After all, Tong Quan'an has served as the master of Xuande Hall for decades. He also has many close disciples in various departments. Although he is about to die, his power is still there, so it is best to Enlist his support.

The two chatted for a while, and then Tang Ning said goodbye and fled. After a while, she returned to her cave. Fang sat down cross-legged. Mu Tiancheng pushed the door open and entered, saluting: "Uncle Master, Master Wu from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to see you."

Tang Ning nodded and Mu Tiancheng retreated. After a while, Wu Yong came in from outside and saluted, "Disciple pays homage to Master."

"Sit down! What's going on?"

Wu Yong followed his instructions and took his seat: "The matter concerning the Chiang family in Jiangdong that my disciple reported last time has the latest developments, so I came here to report it to my uncle."

"Has anyone been captured?"

"No, but his identity has been found out. The man who made a scene in the Jiang family's attic, gambling house, and shop is Yu Feixiong, a monk from the Shuiyun Sect of Qi State."

"It's him." Tangning was slightly surprised.

"Uncle Master, do you know this person?"

"Oh, we met several times in the early years. Are you sure it's him?"

Wu Yong replied: "Junior Brother Su from our headquarters met and fought with him, and I am sure it is him."

Tangning frowned slightly: "You fought him, were there any casualties?"

Wu Yong said: "Junior brother Su was slightly injured. One of the two Jiang family monks who was traveling with him was dead and the other was seriously injured. The three of them originally planned to capture him together, but unexpectedly, the three of them together were no match for him. Instead, they died and were injured. hurt."

"Junior Brother Su saw his true appearance during the fight. After an interrogation, he was confirmed to be this person. This matter involves Shuiyun Sect. Disciples dare not act arbitrarily. After receiving the news, we have ordered our sect to arrest disciples and not to act rashly. Next Please tell me how to proceed."

Tang Ning wondered: "Why did he come all the way to Chu to target the Jiang family? Have you found out the reason?"

"Disciple doesn't know. After Junior Brother Su interrogated the head of the Jiang family, they didn't know why. Now the Jiang family is begging the sect to come forward and resolve the matter."

Tangning pondered for a while and said, "Let's do this! You come with me to meet with the master and ask for his orders."

"yes."

The two of them left the room together and arrived at Luo Qingshui Cave. Tangning waved his hand and the talisman disappeared into the inner room. After a while, a figure appeared from inside and invited the two of them into the inner room.

After Tangning saluted, she sat down and explained the whole incident: "Please give me some advice on how to handle this matter."

After hearing this, Luo Qingshui frowned and muttered: "It's not appropriate to make this matter a big deal and make it known to everyone. It's best to make it a big deal and turn it into a small matter. Now that you know him, it's up to you to arrest him and ask him why." . I will write a letter to the headmaster of Shuiyun Sect and explain the reason, and hand him over to Shuiyun Sect and let them handle it."

"Okay." Tangning responded, stood up and left.

………………………

Xingyun Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, with undulating shapes, like a hidden dragon.

A beam of light shot out from the distance, revealing the figure of a handsome man, it was Tang Ning.

He stopped at the top of the mountain range and said, "Fellow Taoist, Tang Ning of the Qian Yizong is here to visit. I hope to see you in person."

The sound was mixed with huge spiritual power and rolled out, spreading in all directions, echoing continuously in the air. In an instant, the leaves of the mountains dozens of miles away vibrated together.

Countless forest birds fluttered their wings and chirped loudly.

Tang Jing waited quietly. After Luo Qingshui issued the order, the entire intelligence department, including the disciples stationed in Jiangdong, began to take action to investigate Yu Feixiong's whereabouts.

In the mere Jiangdong area, the monks in the late stage of foundation building could be counted on one hand. In addition, Yu Feixiong's huge body was very distinctive, so within a few days, his location had been found.

According to intelligence clues, Yu Feixiong was most likely hiding in this mountain range. After Tangning got the news, he came straight here. With his current level of cultivation, his spiritual sense could detect movements within a radius of several miles. In these dozens of miles of mountains It only takes a short while to complete your search.

His consciousness had already detected that there was a person hiding here. He was a late-stage foundation-building monk. He must be Yu Feixiong, so he warned him.

Soon, a ray of light rose from below, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of him, and an unusually burly man appeared with a huge back and a heavy waist. His muscles were all tangled and he looked very scary. It was Shuiyun Zong Yufei. Bear.

"Fellow Taoist, how are you after a long time?" Tang Ning asked.

Yu Feixiong returned the gift: "I haven't seen him for decades. It's really gratifying and congratulatory that fellow Taoist Tang has entered the realm of golden elixir. Since fellow Taoist is here in person, I will kill or behead you. Please do as you please."

"Fellow Taoist, I'm very serious. Tang is here just to catch up with old friends. I didn't know that my friend could honor me and follow me to the next place to talk."

"How dare you disobey your Taoist friend's kindness."

The two of them took off and walked for about an hour before arriving at a Taoist temple, which was the office of Jiang Dong.

Inside, a couple of gray-haired men came out, bowed and saluted, "Disciple pays homage to Master Tang."

Tangning nodded slightly and signaled to Fei Xiong, "Fellow Taoist, please."

The two entered the hall one after the other and sat down separately.
