Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tangning put away the book and sighed for a long time. Although Thousand Machines and Hundreds of Puppet Techniques were unique, as a skill, it could not be achieved overnight. His top priority was to improve his cultivation.

Since arriving in Qingzhou inland, he has been deeply aware of the serious problem of his lack of cultivation. During the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance period, he had delayed his cultivation for a long time due to lack of financial resources. Now he has joined the Taixuan Sect. Everything has been settled, so why not hurry up and practice all the things!

As for this technique! Let’s talk about it later when we have the opportunity.

He turned his hand and took out a foot-high blue pagoda, which was the one he brought from the palace. There was a line of small characters engraved on the bottom of the pagoda. If he looked carefully, he saw that it was Xuanling Pagoda, Zhang Zhongshu.

Tangning's consciousness entered and wandered around for a long time to understand the internal situation inside the Xuanling Pagoda. Finally, she came to the central high platform and smashed the remaining shadow on it into pieces.

Although the golden-haired bear soul is entrenched in Gaotai Weekly, it has not developed spirituality, so it will not actively attack intruders. Only the magic weapon beast soul that has generated spirituality will have the consciousness to attack others. At this time, the magic weapon will also He was promoted to Lingbao

After leaving behind a trace of his spiritual consciousness, he exited the inner space of the magic weapon, turned his hand, swallowed a pill, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and practiced.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed by in the blink of an eye. At the end of the month, during the meeting, Tang Ning left the cave and came to the meeting hall directly under the Sixth Team. Several figures were sitting inside. Yu Yan, Zhang Chaoyang, and Jiang Tianyuan were already there.

A few people chatted about some of the recent events in Xuantang City.

"I heard that Zhang Zheng, the shopkeeper of Fengyun Chamber of Commerce in this city, has been transferred."

"Even the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce dares to openly oppose us. It's really asking for trouble."

"Maybe he was promoted and reused! The purpose of moving him away is just to show outsiders, so that both parties can step down."

"In my opinion, these chambers of commerce are really arrogant. We really need to suppress them and give them some color, otherwise they will dare to ride on us and dominate us."

About a quarter of an hour later, Yu Qian came in from the outside, went to the main seat and sat down, and said: "This year happens to be the period for collecting materials. The headquarters will collect corresponding tribute taxes from the Xuanmen of the thirty pavilion cities under it. You guys Everyone made preparations, and all the directly-affiliated brigades were dispatched to go to various pavilions and cities to check the accounts on the fifteenth day of the next month to ensure that the tribute and tax payments were completed smoothly. "

"Yes." Several people at the table responded in unison.

As one of the four major sects, Taixuanzong is the leader in Xuanmen in the world. All Xuanmen in Qingzhou belong to the sects affiliated to it, and they must make corresponding offerings every hundred years, just like the princes paying tribute to the emperor.

Although Taixuanzong is now weak, it still has a certain degree of control over Qingzhou Xuanmen. Those big Xuanmen are just preparing to make moves in private. No one really dares to challenge Taixuanzong's status.

The collection of tribute taxes is a manifestation of Taixuanzong's authority as one of the four major sects.

Paying tribute means that the emperor still recognizes Taixuanzong's status as the "Emperor". If he fails to pay tribute as scheduled, he will not recognize that he is affiliated with Taixuanzong's powerful sect, which is equivalent to rebelling and raising an army.

Not only Xuanmen, but also the Chamber of Commerce and the Cultivation Family. The Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce needs to pay tribute and taxes to the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce as scheduled, and the Qingzhou Cultivation Family also has to pay tribute and taxes to the Jiang family as scheduled.

Only by paying tribute can one obtain legal status and receive corresponding protection. If you don't pay taxes to these giants, it is an illegal organization, and others can conquer and destroy them at will.

Yu Qian rambled on about a few more instructions from the headquarters, which were all trivial matters. For example, he must abide by the rules of Qingwu Camp and not leave his post for a long time. He must discuss with the captain of the team for permission when going out, and he must not argue or fight with others in private. etc……

The discussion lasted for an hour before Yu Gan announced the end. Everyone stood up and walked out. For some reason, Su Mingcheng did not participate in the discussion this time.

Tang Ning returned to the cave and continued to practice hard.

Half a month passed quickly, and on April 15th, in front of the meeting hall of the direct-affiliated brigade, several escaping lights appeared, revealing the figures of Tang Ning and his party.

There were already several teams waiting in front of the palace. As time went by, several other teams directly under the command also arrived one after another. Everyone waited outside for about half an hour when they heard a loud rumble and a wind spirit ship coming from the northwest. He walked forward and stopped above the crowd.

A group of people filed out of the hall. The leader was Huang Yuan, the steward of the alliance and the captain of the direct brigade, followed by several monks, all of whom were directly responsible for the brigade.

Huang Yuan waved his hand, and in a flash, he arrived on the Fengling Ship in the blink of an eye, and everyone jumped into the sky.

The Wind Spirit Ship slowly sailed out of the Tianniu Mountains with a huge glow and headed southeast. Huang Yuan and a group of stewards entered the cabin, leaving Tang Ning and other disciples outside the cabin.

There are many Guanjia monks standing on the deck, all of them are monks recruited by the alliance. These are not the official disciples of Taixuan Sect, but are casual cultivators recruited, just like Gu Yuanya.

There are one hundred casual cultivators recruited in the Tianniu Mountains. According to Qingwu Camp's standards, the cultivators recruited by the regiment headquarters must not be lower than Jindan, nor higher than Huashen.

These recruiting monks are mainly responsible for such chores as the regiment's security department, finance department, liaison department, etc.

……………………

The Fengling Ship traveled for several days and arrived in front of the huge light curtain of the Xuanyang Pavilion Rhinoceros Mountains. This was the office of the Third Brigade.

A man with a chin and a tiger beard walked out of the cabin. He was Zhang Yunnan, the manager of the direct brigade. He left the warship in a flash, waved his hand, and handed a talisman in.

After a while, the light curtain gradually melted, and the Wind Spirit Ship slowly sailed into the inner room, suspended on the top of a towering mountain.

Huang Yuan led everyone to the majestic hall.

The stewards of the direct brigade entered the hall, while Tang Ning and other disciples were waiting outside.

Soon, many escaping lights came one after another. About half an hour later, everyone in the hall was seen filing out. In addition to Huang Yuan and others, there were also many senior leaders of the Third Brigade.

"Wang Yalin, you lead the first team of disciples to Fenghua Pavilion to collect local Xuanmen supplies."

"Dong Wenjin, lead the second team of disciples to Queluoting to collect local Xuanmen supplies."

"………………"

Huang Yuan sent the ten squads under the direct brigade to the ten pavilion cities under the jurisdiction of the third brigade to collect tribute taxes. The members of the sixth brigade where Tang Ning belonged were assigned to Xianyue Pavilion.

In addition to Xuanyang Pavilion, the third brigade also has jurisdiction over nine nearby pavilion cities. Each pavilion city has a small team stationed there, responsible for managing and guarding local cultivation resources.

At that moment, everyone received the order and immediately set off to various pavilions and cities to collect Xuanmen tribute taxes.
