Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning, Zhang Ziqing, and Wu Tongming returned to the Tianniu Mountains. As soon as they entered the room, he fell on the stone bed and fell asleep. He was awakened by a knock on the door at noon the next day.

A man stood outside, it was none other than Xu Mengyuan.

"Senior Brother Xu, why are you here? Please come quickly." When Tang Ning saw him arriving, she knew something must be going on.

"No need, Junior Brother Tang. I'm here just for your disciple's business. Are you free now? Let's go to the inn and talk in detail."

"good.".

The two of them left the room, and after walking for most of the day, they arrived at Fengjian Inn in Lishi, Gu Yuanya's residence.

"Master, Senior Xu." Gu Yuanya opened the door and beamed with joy when she saw the two of them.

The three of them entered the inner room and took their seats. Xu Mengyuan said: "I informed the master the day before yesterday. Regarding the arrangements for the disciples, the master asked me to make my own decision, so I am here to discuss it with you."

"There are two better places to go now. One is Huayang Mountain in the city, which is only 20,000 to 30,000 miles away. That is where the headquarters' vehicles and ships dock, and where the Fourth Brigade and the Seventh Squadron are stationed. You can go there. When I work, I usually do maintenance inspections on warships and sort out the entry and exit records. "

"The second place is Fengshui Pavilion, which is where the Sixth Squadron of the Second Battalion is stationed. There is a high-grade spiritual mine there. The official work there is a little busy, but the income is not bad. You can also get in touch with more local forces and expand your connections. ”

"Can you please discuss where you would like to go?"

Gu Yuanya looked at Tang Ning: "Master, where do you think I should go?"

Tang Ning thought for a while. Gu Yuanya had always been by her side and had never been on her own. This was not the solution for a long time. She should be allowed to practice alone.

This is not the Qian Yizong, and she is just a disciple at the lowest level, so she cannot be given any protection. Instead of staying in the Huayang Mountains, isolated from the world, and surrounded by warships all day long.

It would be better to go to Fengshui Pavilion and interact with more people. Even if she suffers a little loss, it will be good for her in the future.

After thinking about this, Tangning no longer hesitated: "Let's go to Fengshui Pavilion!"

"Listen to my master." Gu Yuanya nodded.

"Now that you master and disciple have made a decision, let's set off now!"

…………

Three days later, the three of them arrived at Fengshuiting City on a merchant ship and came to a huge light curtain. This was their destination, the Huagan Mountain Spirit Mine.

Soon, the light curtain melted to create a gap, and a figure flashed out from inside, revealing the figure of a burly man. He saluted Xu Mengyuan: "I don't know which senior of the noble sect he is. Without a receipt, no one will be allowed to pass. Hope. Forgive me, senior."

Xu Mengyuan turned his hand over and took out a piece of paper and handed it to him: "I came here on the order of the chief of this department."

The man took the article and unfolded it: "Senior, please."

Several people entered the inner room, where a majestic and vast city tower stood, with many Guanjia monks standing on it.

"Senior Brother Xu, who are these people stationed on the city wall?" Tang Ning asked after seeing so many people standing on the city wall, most of whom were in foundation building.

Xu Mengyuan said: "They are monks recruited by the brigade. To manage such a large spiritual mine, it would take hundreds of monks to mine the spiritual stones. Of course, it is not enough to rely on more than a dozen sect disciples. We must recruit people to assist in the management."

"We use monks to mine spiritual stones, don't we use mortals?"

"High-grade spiritual stones are generally wrapped in extremely tough rocks. They cannot be excavated with ordinary swords, guns and sticks. It is difficult to see even traces when an ax is chiseled on a rocky cliff. Only the power of monks can be used to excavate them bit by bit, and the spirit stones cannot be destroyed." The integrity of the stone, otherwise the spiritual power of the spirit stone will leak out. If you don’t believe it, look under your feet. The geological hardness here is much harder than in ordinary places.”

Hearing this, Tang Ning covered her feet with some spiritual energy and stepped hard on the ground. There was a banging sound and it was indeed very hard: "Is this true for all places where high-grade spiritual stones are produced?"

"Generally, the geology of large-scale high-grade spiritual mines is relatively hard."

"why is that?"

Xu Mengyuan said: "I can't say the specific reason. The general guess in the cultivation world is that the spiritual power contained in high-grade spiritual stones is too high, and it must be contained in tough geological stone walls to contain these spiritual powers."

"We all know that spiritual stones are essentially a gathering of a large amount of spiritual energy, drilled into the stone walls of the earth's crust, and after years of accumulated weathering, they merge with the stones and become spiritual stones."

"So it's not that the generation of a large amount of spiritual energy changed the geology, but that the spiritual energy chose this geology and swarmed in one after another. Over the years, spiritual mines were formed. As far as the spiritual mines discovered in the practice world are concerned, spiritual mines are The higher the level, the tougher the geology.”

Tangning nodded and said, "I see, but with so many monks recruited, how can we ensure that they don't secretly take away the spiritual stones they mined?"

"The Ling Mine has very strict and precise management rules. If you have the opportunity to come into contact with it in the future, you will naturally understand it."

While the two were talking, they came to a cave.

"Junior brother Tang, you wait outside first, I will lead the disciples to visit the director of the spiritual mine." Xu Mengyuan said, and with a wave of his hand, he handed the talisman inside.

Not long after, a fair-faced man slowly walked out, saluted Xu Mengyuan and said, "Senior Xu, Senior Xue, please come in."

Xu Mengyuan led Gu Yuanya into the cave and to the main room, where a burly man sat cross-legged.

"Disciple pays homage to Master Xue." Xu Mengyuan stepped forward and saluted.

The man glanced at Gu Yuanya, smiled and said, "Sit down! No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Uncle Master." Xu Mengyuan sat down as he was told: "I don't dare to hide it from Uncle Master. I have something that I would like to ask Uncle Master for help. This fellow Taoist Gu Yuanya has a relationship with my master. My master asked me to find a girl for her in the headquarters." It’s my duty to come here to visit you.”

The man nodded slightly and turned to look at Gu Yuanya: "It's a small matter, but I need you to go there in person. Fan Yuan, please take this fellow Taoist Gu to handle the identity handover, and he will serve in the Finance Hall!"

"Uncle, I won't bother you anymore and take my leave."

"Say hello to Master Fang for me."

"Yes." The three of them left the cave and walked to Tang Ning. Xu Mengyuan smiled and said: "Junior brother Tang, the disciple's affairs have been dealt with, and he will take up a position in the Finance Hall. This is the best position in the spirit mine. If it weren't for Master Xue, If you speak, most people won’t be able to ask for it.”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xu."

"Fellow Daoist Gu, please come with me." said the man on the side.

Tang Ning said: "Yuanya, when you get here, you must not act arbitrarily and obey the arrangements."

Gu Yuanya nodded and said: "I know, master, I'm going."

"Junior Brother Tang, let's go too!" Xu Mengyuan said as he watched the two of them disappear into the distance.

Tangning nodded, and the two of them immediately left the spirit mine.

………………………

The days are as ordinary as water, and two years have passed by in the blink of an eye. Since the transfer of the identity of Taixuanzong has not been completed, Tang Ning, Zhang Ziqing, and Wu Tongming have been living in this low mountain. Although it is quiet and undisturbed, there is no need to deal with it. Other miscellaneous affairs, but there is no source of income, let alone obtaining merit points and entering the spirit gathering array to practice.

As time went by, the three of them became more and more strapped for money. In the first few days, they often went out for banquets. After half a year, these polite greetings were basically discontinued.

You must know that a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir will spend nearly 1.5 million on elixirs a year, while in the late stage of the Golden Elixir it will reach 3 million.

No one can stand it if they can only get out but not get in!

Tang Ning had long since run out of ammunition and food. In addition to spending on his own elixirs, he also spent on Xiao Zhan and Xiao Bai's elixirs. To support three people by himself, the annual spiritual stone cost would be no less than four million.

If he hadn't accidentally obtained the more than two hundred high-grade spiritual stones in the cave, he wouldn't have been able to last this long.

Even with such an unexpected fortune, he had already stopped practicing elixirs. The remaining spirit stones were only used to ensure Xiaozhan and Xiaobai elixirs. A year ago, his spirit stones were The stone has been spent.

He was not allowed to sell the cultivation materials he had obtained in exchange for spiritual stones, including the two black gold essences in the cave, the fourth-level mid-grade seal scroll, and the Millennium Purple Sun Fruit, all of which he sold in exchange for more than five million spiritual stones. .

As of now, he only has hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones left on him, and he still has some valuable training materials, such as three monster pills and two magic weapons.

Tang Ning was ready to sell the three demon pills for a while. If it didn't work out, she could borrow some spirit stones from Xu Mengyuan to survive.

He is different from Zhang Ziqing and Wu Tongming. He is the breadwinner and has Xiaobai and Xiaozhan to support. Even if he does not need to practice, Xiaobai and Xiaozhan cannot break the pills.

As for Zhang Ziqing and Wu Tongming, one person has enough to eat, and the whole family is not hungry, so they don't have to worry about the spiritual stone.
