Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The Yiyang Mountain Range is majestic and vast, and the highest peak among them towers into the clouds, like jade pillars connecting the sky and the sky.

On the top of the mountain, there were many figures sitting cross-legged, including Tai Xuanzong and his party.

The three teams carrying out the mission this time all gathered here to stand by after completing their assigned tasks.

Ren Quan did not issue the next task instructions, but just asked everyone to wait for the news. In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Around noon that day, I saw a wind spirit ship galloping from the southwest and stopped at the top of the mountain.

The words "Taixuanzong Qingwu Camp's Fourth Regiment, First Column, and Third Regiment" are written on the flag sail flying at the bow, and the three characters "Moonlight" are written on the flag sail at the stern.

It was the Wind Spirit Ship that sent them here a few days ago.

The Moonlight stopped on top of everyone, and a beam of escaping light shot down, landing in front of Ren Quan, and a man with a broad forehead and broad face appeared. He bowed and saluted: "Uncle Ren, Uncle Wei, please come on board. "

"Let's go." Ren Quan waved his hand, and in a flash, everyone jumped up and arrived on the Fengling boat.

There are many huge stone boxes displayed on the deck, and there are many armor-piercing monks standing on both sides of the ship's bow, just like when they set off.

Ren Quan entered the cabin, and everyone just sat cross-legged on the deck. The Wind Spirit Ship flashed with light and sped away, returning to the Tianniu Mountains a few days later.

Ren Quan came out of the cabin, led everyone to the light curtain, and said: "This mission has been successfully completed. The headquarters will ask the sect for credit. Everyone will be rewarded. You just need to wait peacefully and do your best. Keep it confidential and don’t disclose it to others.”

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

When Tangning heard this, she couldn't believe it. Is this the end of the matter? This is too easy.

He barely contributed much to the whole thing. He just followed everyone back and forth and got the mission reward. It was simply a free gift.

No wonder Xu Mengyuan said it was a happy event that day, and his meritorious service was really in vain.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether they participate in this mission or not. With the God Transformation monks in charge and so many Yuan Ying monks assisting, it's not the turn of Golden Core disciples like them to contribute at all.

The above still designated a team of fifteen people, including eight Jindan disciples, and they were obviously asked to follow them to get mission rewards and merit points.

It seems that the other eight Jindan monks here also have their own backgrounds and connections, otherwise they would not be able to get involved in such a task. I just don't know which faction these people belong to.

Tang Ning thought to herself as her eyes swept over several people.

Not long after, the light curtain melted away, and everyone's figures flashed into the inner room, and everyone returned to the cave.

……………

In the Netherworld Sea Organization's branch in Xuantang City, in the main hall, a dozen men and women sat in the center of a huge round table.

"This time we are summoned for discussion, there is an urgent matter. Just now, the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce sent someone here to unilaterally announce the suspension of production cooperation with us in spiritual weapons." In front of the round table, a tall man with a broad forehead and a broad face Said in a deep voice.

"What? We have already signed the contract, and they stop when they say stop? We have been preparing for this for so long and invested so much financial resources. Now everything is ready. We are just waiting for Kunyan Chamber of Commerce to provide energy groups and some spiritual equipment materials. "Who will bear this loss? How could they act like this?" a woman said angrily.

"Kunyan Chamber of Commerce expressed its willingness to compensate us for part of the losses in accordance with the contract, but they are resolute and must suspend cooperation with us."

Another man asked: "Didn't we have a good negotiation before? Why did we suddenly stop the cooperation? Is someone putting pressure on them? Or are they just playing tricks on us?"

"According to the information I received, Kunyan Chamber of Commerce was besieged by some unidentified monks a few days ago. In just a few days, nearly twenty merchant ships full of goods were robbed, including those who provided us with the production of spiritual weapons. Some of the practice materials are obviously targeted at us."

"And the person behind it is very likely that the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce cannot afford to offend, so they can only choose to sever cooperation with us. They will also suffer a lot. However, their attitude is still so insistent, which shows that the other party is very powerful."

"It's either the Xuanmen or the Cultivation Family. It's possible that both parties are involved. They don't target us every day."

"Ever since we entered Donglai County, they have been pursuing us in all aspects and restricting our development. Before, they only used secret tricks to hinder us in terms of connections and financial resources. Now they have finally revealed their fangs and used force."

"After this incident, I'm afraid no one from the Chamber of Commerce will dare to cooperate with us again."

"I think the fundamental reason is that the partner we are looking for is not ideal enough. If we can cooperate with big chambers of commerce like Fengyun Chamber of Commerce or even Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, they must not dare to obstruct it so blatantly. Although Kunyan Chamber of Commerce is a merchant alliance, it is not powerful after all. Weak, facing the pursuit and interception of the cultivating family and Xuanmen, there is no way to fight back. "

"It's useless. Large chambers of commerce at the level of Qiankun Chamber of Commerce and Fengyun Chamber of Commerce will not cooperate with our local branches at all. If we want to cooperate, it must be negotiated between the headquarters and the merchant alliance. In fact, the merchant alliance and Qingzhou Xuanmen And the benefits bundled with the cultivating family are simply beyond our ability to compare.”

"After all, our power in Qingzhou is small and weak. As long as the Xuanmen and the Cultivation Family in Qingzhou are resolute, the Merchant Alliance cannot offend them for our sake. Ordinary people know the choice between picking sesames and throwing watermelons, let alone the senior leaders of the Merchant Alliance."

"No matter how much profit we give up, it will only be a drop in the bucket for the business of the entire Qingzhou, because the resources of the entire Qingzhou are basically in the hands of Xuanmen and cultivating families."

"If we don't find a way to unite with the Chamber of Commerce, we will simply not be able to stand in Donglai County. Only by uniting with the Chamber of Commerce can we fight against the pursuit and interception of Xuanmen and the Cultivation Family."

"Don't have such illusions. The reality is that it is impossible for the Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with us. It is better to ask for help than to ask for help from others. You have to be strong yourself. We have to find a way to ensure the training expenses of our headquarters."

"How can we guarantee it? We occupy a barren mountain with no resources for cultivation. Xuanmen and the cultivation family obviously want to cut off our financial path."

"Since we entered Dongnae County, we have been in a state of serious financial losses. The headquarters requires us to be self-sufficient. Once the headquarters reduces or even stops investing in our financial resources, the headquarters will immediately encounter a serious financial crisis. I think It’s time to slow down the pace of development.”

"This is completely treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. We have now grown to thousands of people, and we must find corresponding financial channels. Otherwise, we will not be able to maintain the scale of these thousands of people."

"If we want to open a way out, we cannot rely on others. The key is to rely on ourselves. We must vigorously develop skills such as alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and array making. This is also in line with the requirement for everyone to be self-reliant."

"Although the Xuanmen and the Cultivation Family can secretly manipulate and prevent us from cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce, they can't stop us from going to the shops to buy cultivation materials and refining elixirs and weapons by ourselves."

"We have developed too fast in recent years and have absorbed too many monks. However, alchemy, weapon refining and other skills cannot be achieved overnight. At present, we need to urgently solve the problem of financial gap, otherwise the financial gap will only get bigger and bigger. Just rely on our establishment The income from the information exchange is simply not enough to support the cultivation consumption of so many people."

"I don't think we need to worry too much. If the headquarters reduces financial investment due to a large financial gap, we can reduce expenses accordingly. As for the financial crisis caused by this and cause the recruited monks to leave, then just let them go. alright."

"Since they are not like-minded, why bother forcing them? People who cannot share the joys and sorrows are not the people we want."

"To be honest, recently I feel that there are a lot of profit-seeking people in the team. If we can take this opportunity to eliminate some of the bad apples, it will be a blessing."

Everyone here talked about it.

……………………

A line of peaks is steep and towering. From a distance, it looks like a steel needle connecting heaven and earth. The entire mountain peak is red in color and bare without a single tree or flower.

However, the peak is surrounded by greenery and flowers. Comparing the two pictures, the peak is so lonely and cold. It is a wonder that is famous far and wide.

Today, Yixian Peak is bustling with activity. Huge wind spirit ships have landed in the sky, surrounding the mountain peaks, as if under martial law.

At the top of the mountain, in the majestic attic, the leaders of various forces in Xuantang City gathered together, whispering and laughing.

"Senior Peng of the Mirror Moon Sect has arrived." A loud, high-pitched voice sounded outside the hall. As soon as he finished speaking, a burly middle-aged man with big ears came in from the outside.

Fang Dasheng stood up and responded: "Fellow Daoist Peng, you are here, I will be waiting for you."

"I was busy with secular affairs, so I was delayed for a while and kept you all waiting." The man surnamed Peng said solemnly.

"Fellow Daoist Peng, you made everyone wait for you for a quarter of an hour today. If you stay for a while, you will have to drink three glasses of wine as punishment." One or two gray-haired men said with a smile.

"Fellow Taoist Peng, please take a seat." Zhang Yunlong stood up and said: "Thank you all for accepting the invitation of our Chamber of Commerce despite your busy schedule. Special thanks to fellow Taoist Fang Dasheng and fellow Taoist Jiang Ning for organizing this meeting so that all of you can gather together here. , it can be said that it has given me enough face, which makes me feel very honored.”

"Everyone here is a long-time friend, so I'll get right to the point without hiding anything. Our Chamber of Commerce held this meeting only because of a series of attacks on our Chamber of Commerce that occurred last month."

"Here, I would like to solemnly declare to everyone in this city through your mouth that our Chamber of Commerce has always pursued the strategy of putting peace first and resolving disputes through negotiation. No matter who organized and planned this incident, no matter what the reason is, No matter what kind of misunderstanding, I hope this matter can go away like a rolling river and never return."

"If the actions of our Chamber of Commerce have caused dissatisfaction, on behalf of our Chamber of Commerce, I would like to sincerely apologize and hope that Haihan can forgive me."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Yunlong finished his words. A man with gray temples sitting next to him smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Zhang Daoyou's words from the bottom of his heart can be said to be sincere! Our merchant alliance has always adhered to the principle of peace as the most precious thing. In the past, Let all the unpleasantness drift away with the wind!"

"If the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce has done something that is against the interests of all parties, or has offended you unintentionally, please tell us directly. I believe that Fellow Daoist Zhang will handle it appropriately."

"If someone makes some small moves after Brother Daoist Zhang's sincere words, the Merchant Alliance will no longer sit idly by."

The man sitting upright on the left below said: "We all believe in the sincerity of Brother Daoist Zhang. No matter what the past has been, after today, please don't pursue it anymore."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang's sincerity can be seen from heaven and earth. No matter what the misunderstanding is, you should let it go now." Fang Dasheng said with a smile.

The rest of the people also expressed their opinions.
