Chronicles of Celestial Origins

When Yu Qian saw him walking away, the smile on his face gradually faded. He frowned and pondered for a while. Then he stood up and left the room. After a while, he came to another majestic cave mansion in the light.

Soon, a fair-faced man appeared from inside, bowed and saluted: "Uncle Yu, you can just come in, why do you need to ask for a meeting?"

"There are still rules. Is Master Huang in the back room?"

"Here I am."

Yu Gan went straight into the inner room, came to a stone room, and knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." Huang Yuan's voice came from inside, and Yu Qian pushed the door open and bowed and saluted: "This disciple is disturbing my uncle's Qingxiu."

"You're here, what's the matter?"

"There is one thing that I have been thinking about for a long time, but I still feel that I should inform my uncle. Just now, Tang Ning, a disciple of our team, came to visit the disciple and asked for a quota for the Spirit Gathering Array in the coming year. During the conversation, the disciple found out that he is the manager of the Division of Lili. Nangong Muxue’s disciple’s husband.”

When Huang Yuan heard this, his eyes narrowed and he said thoughtfully: "Nangong Muxue?"

"Yes, his wife is Nangong Muxue's disciple Liu Ruhan. According to what he said, the two were married on the fingertips. When Nangong Muxue passed through Qinghai Xingang on the way, he saw that his wife had good qualifications, so he took her to the mountain gate and took her as his disciple."

"Did he take the initiative to tell you this?"

"Disciple thinks that no matter how courageous he is, he should not dare to talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

"Who else knows about this besides you?"

"Only Uncle Fang should know that this time Uncle Fang went to Donglai County to celebrate the legion steward He Yunlong, and he took this son with him."

Huang Yuan said suspiciously, "Oh? He also went to congratulate He Yunlong on his birthday?"

"That's not true. He went to visit his wife and senior brother."

Huang Yuan thought for a while: "That's it for now. Try not to spread the word."

"Yes, disciple understands."

"You came to me not just because of this matter!" Huang Yuan said when he saw that he was still standing there with no intention of leaving.

"Uncle Master, I haven't practiced in the Spirit Gathering Formation for many years. Is it possible next year?"

"The number of Nascent Soul disciples for next year has been decided, let's see the year after that!"

"yes."

"Oh! By the way, how are things going with Ren Jing?"

"The disciple met with him secretly a few days ago. There was no valuable information."

"Well, please pay more attention to this matter. Once you've done it, it will be easier for me to speak in front of Mr. Fang."

"Disciple understands, I don't want to disturb my uncle Qing Xiu, so I'll leave first." Yu Qian responded, turned around and left the room.

……………………

In the meeting hall, everyone from the sixth team directly under the command gathered together and chatted about trivial matters both inside and outside the team.

"I heard that Su Wenqi, the manager of the first brigade, is going to take over the position of deputy captain of the second brigade." Yu Yan said.

Zhang Chaoyang said: "He is unlikely! He is not qualified enough! I think it is more likely to be promoted from within the second team."

Yu Yan retorted: "What's impossible, what about qualifications! As long as he meets the promotion standards, it will be fine. Although he has only been the steward of the First Brigade for a hundred years, he is already a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. In addition, his relationship with Inspector Hao He is a close confidant of Inspector Hao and can definitely occupy this position. "

Lu Fang shook his head and said: "Junior brother Yu, you think too simply. There are many people with relevant backgrounds in this department, and it's not just Su Wenqi. If others don't tell me, is Tian Yu, the manager of the second brigade, worse than him?" In terms of qualifications and cultivation, he is no better than him, and the director thinks highly of him, so I think he has the best chance of being promoted."

Lu Yong, the deputy captain of the Second Battalion, was about to expire and his term of office had expired, so the alliance dismissed him from his position. After this position became vacant, many people coveted it, causing a heated discussion within the alliance.

The alliance is so big, with hundreds of people, any personnel changes in any team will spread quickly. First of all, there will be all kinds of gossip.

Even though it's just gossip, sometimes it's quite accurate. Often when a piece of news comes out, it's very close to the truth.

Tang Ning was actually particularly willing to listen to them tell various gossips during discussions. This would allow him to better understand the relationship network between the various figures within the alliance, and he would secretly note these down every time.

Yu Yan said: "You don't understand this. There are long and short relationships. Although Tian Yu is highly valued by Chief Fang, his relationship is still not as close as that between Su Wenqi and Inspector Hao. Naturally, Inspector Hao will try his best to fight for this position for Su Wenqi. , but Mr. Fang may not be willing to fight for Tian Yu as much as possible. The difference between the two is not a little bit."

"And I heard that Su Qiwen has been coming to the headquarters frequently to meet with Inspector Hao recently, and even visited Director Fang and various managers. Do you think, if he hadn't taken office, would it be necessary to visit them one by one?"

"Oh? Are you serious?" Zhang Chaoyang asked.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have said that he would take over as the vice-captain of the second brigade."

"Is your news reliable? Where did it come from?"

"Huang Lian, the directly affiliated first team, told me."

"So, it's basically settled. The relationship has been established, otherwise Su Wenqi wouldn't have rashly visited Director Fang."

While several people were talking and chatting, Yu Qian came in from the outside, went to the main seat and sat down, and said: "For this year-end regular meeting, I would like to explain the statistics of various expenses of our team this year."

"On January 11 this year, Zhang Chaoyang performed a joint mission and took a merchant ship for a trip of 50,000 spiritual stones. He received a merit reward of 20 points and a spiritual stone reward of 100,000 spiritual stones."

"On February 15th, Yu Yan performed a team mission and received ten points of meritorious service and fifty thousand spiritual stones as a spiritual stone reward."

………………

Yu Qian stated the meritorious rewards that everyone had received one by one, and then talked about some miscellaneous things. Finally, he said: "As for the quota for next year's Spirit Gathering Formation, it has been decided from above. Tang Ning of our team will get this opportunity. Tang Ning, next year On the first day of the new year, you can go to the Spirit Gathering Formation to practice."

As soon as he said this, several people in the audience looked at him sideways, with envy, jealousy, hostility, and indignation in their eyes.

"Yes." Tangning responded.

"This discussion is over." Yu Gan announced the end of the discussion, stood up and walked straight out.

Tang Ning ignored the strange looks from the other people and followed Yu Qian out of the room, turning into a light and leaving.

Su Mingcheng sneered slightly and immediately left the hall.

"Hmph, I've only been here for two or three years, and I've already gotten a spot in the Spirit Gathering Array." Yu Yan snorted coldly.

Lu Fang said: "Don't be jealous, he is backed by Director Fang! Haven't you heard? Director Fang even brought him with him when he went to Donglai County last time."

"Of course you are not envious. After all, you just got the spot in the Spirit Gathering Array."

"I don't know what the relationship between him and Chief Fang is, but a monk from a small sect born in Qinghai is actually so highly regarded."

Lu Fang's eyes flashed slightly: "If it doesn't matter, can he enter this sect? Didn't you see that his salary is only two million spirit stones? The difference in qualifications can be imagined. If a guy like this can enter this sect, he may be behind him. It’s not just Fang Dasheng.”

…………

A few days passed by in a flash. On this day, Tang Ning left the cave and came to a majestic palace.

In the empty room inside, several disciples were sitting in front of the desk.

The hall was bustling with dozens of figures, all of whom were disciples of Jindan cultivation. There were queues in front of each desk, and many people were whispering to each other, making a lot of noise.

When Tang Ning walked to one of the desks, she consciously lined up at the back of the queue. The person in front of her looked back at him and gave him a slight nod: "Junior Brother Tang is here."

The person who spoke was Yuan Xiao, who was directly affiliated with the first team. There were dozens of people in the directly affiliated unit. They usually looked up but did not look down at each other. Tang Ning had been here for several years, and they were somewhat familiar with each other, so they got to know each other.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is the time when the quotas for the Spirit Gathering Formation are converging, so everyone is here to report and record.

In addition to the disciples of the directly affiliated team in the palace, at least one person from each of the other four brigades has received a quota for the Spirit Gathering Formation.

"Why are they all Jindan brothers, but Master Yuanying is missing? Don't they need to report?" Tang Ning said casually.

"Can people come here and wait in a long line like us? They have their own dedicated people to make arrangements. By the way, Junior Brother Tang, I remember you have only been here for two or three years!"

"good."

"It seems that Master Yu of your team thinks highly of you. It has only been two or three years since you got a place in the Spirit Gathering Formation. It is rare even for our entire team."

Tangning smiled slightly but said nothing.

As the previous people completed the registration procedures, it was finally his turn. The man at the desk looked up at him: "Name, position."

"Directly under the sixth team, Tang Ning." Tang Ning turned her hand over and took out the token and handed it to him.

The man took the token, entered it with his spiritual consciousness, confirmed that the information was correct, returned it to him, and took a paper file from his side: "Sign and sign on it, and pay two hundred thousand spiritual stones."

Tangning did as she was told and took out twenty high-grade spiritual stones.

"Go aside and wait!" The man took back the files and spirit stones, and Tang Ning left the desk and sat down on the stone bench on the other side.

The alliance stipulates that in addition to deducting ten points of merit for the use of the spirit gathering array, one must also pay one hundred thousand spirit stones.

And as the cultivation level increases, the price will also increase accordingly. For example, in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, 20 points of merit will be deducted and 200,000 spirit stones will be surrendered. In the later stage of the Golden Elixir, 40 points of merit will be deducted and 400,000 spirit stones will be deducted.

And so on……

This is because the Spirit Gathering Array has different grades, occupies different resources, and naturally has different prices.
