Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning escaped all the way and arrived at "Fangyuanli City" at dawn the next day and entered the Canglang Zongwutong Pavilion.

"Senior, what do you need?" Fang stepped in and a woman came up to him and asked.

"Does your pavilion have a Tianling Ship to Fenghua City?"

"Senior, please wait a moment." The woman turned out a black booklet in her hand and flipped through it: "If we go to Fenghua City, there will be a Heavenly Spirit Ship that can go there in three days."

"Three days." Tangning pondered for a while, "I'd better go ask other things at Tongge first! See if they have a faster merchant ship. If not, I'll use it as your merchant ship."

"Okay, welcome back, senior."

Little White Snake was captured. The longer time passed, the more dangerous the situation became. He had to race against time.

To get to Fenghua City, the fastest shortcut is naturally to take the teleportation array, but the teleportation array is really expensive, and with his current wealth, he simply cannot afford the teleportation fee.

It is about 15 to 6 million miles from here to Fenghua City, and the longest distance of the teleportation array can only reach one million miles. Even if you use the teleportation array, you will have to transfer the array more than ten times, which costs at least one million spiritual stones.

In addition to the waiting time for transferring the array, the teleportation array is not something you can just leave. Except for the teleportation array privately owned by the sect, all teleportation arrays used for commercial purposes must be prepared in advance every time before starting the teleportation, so it is not as good as Take a merchant ship.

Tang Ning left the palace, and after a short walk, she arrived at the Qianxuan Wutong Pavilion. As she entered the inner room, a woman wearing the Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce costume came up to her and said, "What do you need, fellow Taoist?"

"Do you have a Tianling ship to Fenghua City? The sooner the better."

"Please wait, let me check." The woman took out the mysterious book and flipped through it: "The Tianling Ship to Fenghua City will leave in five days. Do you think it's okay, fellow Taoist?"

Even slower than the Canglang Sect, Tang Ning shook her head, left the palace without saying anything, and went to other Wutong Pavilions.

It took an hour to visit more than a dozen Wutong Pavilions in the entire "city", and finally selected the "Fengyun" Wutong Pavilion. They had a Tianling Ship and set off to Fenghua City in two days.

Fengyun Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers of commerce in Donglai County. After comparing more than ten Wu Tong Pavilions, Tang Ning finally returned to "Feng Yun Wu Tong Pavilion".

Seeing him coming back, a woman wearing the clothes of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce came forward and said with a smile: "Have you decided, fellow Taoist? Do you want to take the Heavenly Spirit Ship to Fenghua City?"

Tangning nodded: "How many spiritual stones are needed?"

"If you take the Tianling Ship, you will need 450,000 spirit stones. If you take the Wind Spirit Ship, you will only need 150,000 spirit stones."

"Okay!" Tangning turned her hand over and took out forty-five high-grade spiritual stones from her storage bag and handed them to him. These were his last possessions.

If he couldn't find Bai Jintang in Fenghua City, he would be doomed. He would have to make alchemy there to earn travel expenses before coming back.

The woman took the spirit stone and turned out a thin book: "Fellow Taoist, please sign and stamp it."

Tang Ning did as she was told. The woman put away the book, handed him a number plate, and led him to the backyard: "Fellow Taoist, please rest here first. We will remind you before the Tianling Ship sets off."

Tangning nodded, entered the room, and sat down cross-legged.

Not long after, footsteps sounded outside, followed by a knock on the door.

"Come in." The door opened, and a woman came in holding a jade plate in her hand. She placed the jade plate in front of him and said, "Senior, please use it slowly."

After saying that, he withdrew and placed a pot of spiritual wine and a piece of spiritual food on the jade plate.

It seems that the service of this chamber of commerce is quite good, and it also provides free spiritual wine and food, which is much better than the Wutong Pavilion of Canglang Sect. Of course, it may be that the spiritual stones they paid have met their requirements, so they provide these things.

Tang Ning wiped out the spiritual food and wine on the jade plate, sat cross-legged, and practiced practicing Qi.

Two days passed by in a flash. Around midnight, Tang Ning was practicing self-cultivation with her eyes closed when a knock on the door came from outside.

He opened his eyes and opened the room. There was a man standing outside. He bowed his head and said, "Fellow Taoist Tang, the Heavenly Spirit Ship you are making is about to set off. Please come with me."

Tang Ning followed him out of the room and into the hall. The man led him into a stone room and said, "Fellow Taoist, please wait here. I will take you there later."

The entire room was only ten feet in size, and there were more than ten figures sitting there. They seemed to be monks from the same merchant ship. Tangning found a seat by herself. As time went by, more and more monks were brought here by the man. time, about an hour later.

The man led the last person into the room and said, "Fellow Taoists, follow me."

Everyone got up and left the room, and the group left the hall. After walking for a short time, they came to a curtain of light.

The man waved his hand and the talisman sank into it. The light curtain melted and everyone filed in. There was a plain inside, the ground was paved with black stone slabs, and many large and small warships were docked within a clear-cut framework.

The man led everyone to a Tianling ship. The four characters "Fengyun Chamber of Commerce" were written on the bow flag and sail, and "Tianyu" was written on the stern flag and sail.

"Fellow Taoists, please board the ship! Someone will remind you when you get there."

Everyone jumped up one after another and came to the deck of the Tianling Ship. It was loaded with large and small stone boxes. There were many monks from the Chamber of Commerce standing on both sides of the deck.

Tang Ning found a place to sit cross-legged and waited quietly. Half an hour later, the Sky Spirit Ship burst into light, made a loud rumble, took off into the sky, and sailed away.

The cost of traveling by merchant ship is to charge spiritual stones according to the distance. If the monk travels by boat, the fee is 10,000 spiritual stones per million miles according to the standard of wind spirit ship.

If it is a Tianling Ship, the fee is 30,000 spirit stones per million miles.

Because the Tianling Ship travels much faster than the Wind Spirit Ship, for the same distance, taking the Sky Spirit Ship is at least several times faster than the Wind Spirit Ship, and the price is naturally higher.

If it is consigned goods, relevant fees will be charged based on the weight and volume of the goods.

Generally, there are two types of merchant ships on the market: Tianling Ship and Wind Spirit Ship. Occasionally, there are also Xuanling Ships, but they only carry out short-distance transportation.

As for thunder and rugged boats, they are rarely used in such "county-level" areas. They are generally used for long-distance transportation across states and counties, and rarely travel such "county-level" distances.

As one of the top spiritual weapons, the Thunder Category Ship is not available to ordinary small forces. For a second-level mystical sect like the Canglang Sect, it is good for a sect to have at most one Thunder Category Ship. Naturally, it is impossible to use it for commercial transportation.

Most of the thundering boats are owned by big forces and are used to transport important materials and for specific purposes. In places like Yuanxian County, thundering boats are generally not used.

The entire county has a radius of 36 million miles, and the Tianling Ship travels from south to north, east to west, and one or two months is enough. Unless there is an urgent matter, the Thunder Boat will be used.

The Tianling Ship left the city walls and headed north. Basically, every time it arrived at a pavilion, it would stay in its "Pavilion City" for a period of time to load and unload goods and board monks.

It took nearly a month of walking and stopping like this before we arrived at Fenghua City. It was much slower than Tang Ning expected. This was all due to the delay in loading and unloading goods on the road.

As the main city closest to Qinghai, Fenghua City has long been occupied by the frontline headquarters of the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance. A large number of monks have fled. In the entire city, except for some local families and the Xuanmen garrison, all the casual cultivators have basically fled. .

After the Tianling Ship entered the city, it headed southwest and stopped in the "inner market". The hatch opened and a man came out and said: "Fenghua City has arrived. Fellow Taoists, please come here. "

The remaining twenty or thirty monks on the deck flashed and came to him one after another. They took out their number plates and handed them to him one by one. The man verified that they were correct and nodded: "Fellow Taoists, you can get off the boat. Welcome to board next time." Make "Tianyu Hao".

Everyone jumped up, left the warship, and went their separate ways.

Tang Ning left the warship and was quite confused for a moment. She didn't know where to go. Fenghua City was not big or small. It had a radius of 300,000 miles. Where could she go to find Bai Jin Tang?

He thought for a while, then Dunguang headed east, encountering many Dunguangs coming and going along the way.

Every time someone passed by, he would go up and ask a few questions. After some inquiring, he found out the general location of the Fourth Army Corps' station. After traveling for four or five days, he came to a mountain range, with a huge light curtain standing inside.

Tang Ning turned her hand and handed the talisman in. After a while, the light curtain melted and a gap appeared. He flashed into the inner room and registered his identity information with the escort team.

Due to his status as a monk from the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance, even though he was from a different legion, the disciples of the escort did not make it too difficult for him. They questioned him for a few words and after verifying his identity, they allowed him to leave.

After Tangning found out the general directions of the three vertical and seven-column buildings, she left the main hall and the light rose up. Not long after, she came to a mountain peak with a main hall standing on it. There were two men taking turns in front of the hall.

He came to a halt in front of the palace, and the inspector asked: "Fellow Taoists, do you dare to ask if this is the residence of the Third Column and Seventh Alliance of the Fourth Army?"

The two glanced at him.

One of them said: "Yes, who is fellow Taoist?"

"Xiayuan is also a monk in the team directly under the Third Column and Seventh Alliance. He was injured on Cangyun Island and went to Yuanxian City to recuperate, and then stayed in the 19th Legion. I have never seen these two Taoist friends. They must not be the original ones. A monk from Qilian!"

After the Fourth Army withdrew from Qinghai, it underwent large-scale adjustments and added many troops from other places.

"We were transferred here later. Is there anything wrong with you, fellow Taoist?"

"I'm here to find someone. May I ask if Senior Bai Jintang, the former captain of the Seventh Alliance of the Third Column, is still serving in the Seventh Alliance?"

The two of them looked at him, and one of them said, "Senior Bai is now the deputy captain of the seventh alliance. Do you have anything to do with him?"

Bai Jintang was demoted. Tangning was slightly shocked when he heard this, and then she was happy that her trip was not in vain: "I have some personal matters that I would like to ask him to help me with. Can fellow Taoist take me to his cave?"

"Okay, you can come with me!" the man on the left said. The light was rising, and Tang Ning hurriedly followed. Not long after, she arrived in front of a cave: "This is the cave where Senior Bai is temporarily staying. I'll take my leave now. "

"Okay, thank you, fellow Taoist." Tang Ning took out a transmission note in her hand and handed it in.

Soon, a light flashed out from inside, and a petite, graceful woman appeared. It was Yan Minyi. Seeing him arriving, she looked a little surprised: "Aren't you in Yuanxian City? How did you get here? coming?"

"I've met Senior Yan. This junior encountered some troubles in Yuanxian City, so I came here to ask Senior Bai for help." Tang Ning said in awe.

Yan Min frowned slightly: "Follow me."

The two of them entered the inner room one after another and came to the main room. Yan Min pushed the door open and entered.

Sitting cross-legged inside was a man with a slender figure and a jade-like face, looking at the two of them with a smile. It was Bai Jintang.

Tang Ning hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Junior, I pay my respects to Senior Bai."

"sit down!"

"Thank you, senior."

Bai Jintang smiled and said, "You probably didn't drop by to visit me this time, right? What's the matter?"

After hearing this, Tang Ning stood up again and saluted, "I don't dare to hide this from my senior. I am indeed in trouble in Yuanxian City. I have no other choice but to come to my senior for help."

"Tell me! What's the matter?"

Tang Ning then explained the whole incident in detail: "In front of seniors, juniors dare not hide anything. In fact, juniors don't know what kind of spiritual beast that little white snake is. Back then, there was an ancient ruin in Xingang, which was destroyed by Canglang. Zong and Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce jointly excavated."

"But I don't know what happened in the middle, and the excavation did not go so smoothly, which eventually caused the ruins to collapse and fall into the underground river. I was the director here at the time, and the little white snake egg shell came out along the underground river, and happened to flow to the junior It was picked up by the younger generation in the mountain behind the cave where it lived."

"This junior had a low level of cultivation and little knowledge at that time. I didn't know that the spirit beast had to sign a blood contract, so I didn't make a formal contract with it. For so many years, the spirit beast has been my right-hand man. Although I didn't sign a formal contract, I always obeyed him. "Junior's orders."

"After being robbed by force this time, I have no choice but to come to my senior for help."

Bai Jintang nodded slightly: "So that's what happened."

Behind him, Yan Minyi's eyes sparkled, and he leaned slightly as he listened. He was obviously very interested in the little white snake. Tangning knew that she was a disciple of the Taixuan Sect's spiritual animal husbandry department and knew a lot about the ways of spiritual beasts, so she did not listen. strangeness.

"You mean that white snake caused a catastrophe of red thunder and lightning when it hit the third level?" Bai Jintang finished speaking, and Yan Min couldn't help but ask.

Tangning nodded and said, "That's right. It must have attracted others to covet you and caused such trouble."

"How long did the catastrophe last?" Yan Minyi continued to ask.

"About half an hour!"

"This is the first time this has happened. Has this happened before?"

"Well... when the little white snake attacked the second level, there was also a sky thunder, but the thunder that day was not so powerful. It was an ordinary silver-white sky thunder."

"What do white snakes look like?"

"It looks hard to say. It's all white and has no other colors. By the way, when it advanced this time, it grew another head, but the new head's eyes were always closed."

Yan Minyi continued: "Then what abilities does it have?"

"It can swallow a kind of gray mist that can suck out human flesh and blood. It can also perform space manipulation. In addition, its teeth are very poisonous. Being bitten by it can trigger something similar to a runic ban. So far, it has only been discovered These magical powers.”

"Two heads, pure white, gray mist, rune restrictions." Yan Min muttered to himself, frowning.
