Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The days flew by and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

The moon was high and the stars were shining brightly. In the remote mountain forest, a ray of light shot down, revealing the figure of a handsome man, none other than Tang Ning.

As soon as he escaped from the light, the door of the wooden house opened wide, and Ding Jianyang came out with a faint smile on his face.

The two chatted for a few words, and then the light took off and headed south.

In the Wutong Pavilion of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, the two of them changed into black robes and bamboo hats and entered the inner room.

A beautiful-looking woman wearing Qiankun Chamber of Commerce uniforms came forward and said, "Two fellow Taoists, what can I do for you?"

Tangning said, "Excuse me, do you have a merchant ship to Qinghai? We have to go there."

"I'm very sorry. This chamber of commerce has stopped all business dealings in Qinghai. There are no merchant ships coming to Qinghai."

"Stop business dealings with Qinghai, why?"

The woman replied: "This happened a long time ago. Since the Netherworld Sea Organization took control of Qinghai and drove away all the chambers of commerce stationed on the island, we have also stopped commercial dealings with Qinghai."

"Then how should we get to Qinghai?"

"Fellow Taoist can go to Fenghua City first, where there is the Wutong Pavilion of the Netherworld Sea Organization, which can be accessed through their merchant ships."

"Okay! Please check for us when your merchant ship will leave for Fenghua City. The sooner the better."

"Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment." The woman turned back to the cabinet, took out a thick book and flipped through it. After a while, she came to the two of them: "In five days, our chamber of commerce will have a heavenly spirit ship heading to Fenghua City, carrying 400,000 spirits. Shi Yiyi, what do fellow Taoists think?"

"Can."

Tang Ning flipped her hands and took out forty high-grade spiritual stones from her storage bag and handed them to the woman. Ding Jianyang, who had been silent since entering the pavilion, also took out four hundred thousand spiritual stones and handed them over.

The woman took the spirit stone, took out two number plates, asked the two of them to sign the file, and then led the two of them to the backyard room to rest.

"Now we can tell you! What is the secret treasure that Zhu Mingxuan found?" Inside the room, Tang Ning took off her bamboo hat and asked.

"I'll tell you when I get there."

Tangning glanced at him: "I always have the right to know which island it is on."

"Manatee Island is a small desert island east of Tianfu Island, with a radius of only two to three thousand miles."

Before Tang Ning could ask any more questions, she saw that he had already sat cross-legged and started practicing with his eyes closed.

A month later, the two arrived in Fenghua City and came to Wutong Pavilion in Netherworld City. A woman wearing Netherworld Sea Organization came up to them and said, "What do you two fellow Taoists need?"

"We are going to Tianfu Island. Do you have a merchant ship?"

The woman pulled out a thick stack of files and checked them: "Ten days later, we will have a Wind Spirit Ship set off to Fairy Island. It will require 1.3 million spirit stones. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"

"Wind Spirit Ship? How long does it take to get to Fairy Island from here?"

"About fifteen months."

"Fifteen months." Tang Ning glanced at Ding Jianyang and saw him shaking his head slightly.

"Is there a Heavenly Spirit Ship?"

"You have to wait a month for the Tianling Ship."

"How long does it take to arrive?"

"It will take about three to four months and will require three million spirit stones."

Three million, Tang Ning felt a little hesitant. With his current salary, it was only four million spiritual stones a year. If he took the Sky Spirit Ship, he would get seven million spiritual stones for a round trip, which was equal to his two years' salary. .

He didn't care if it took longer. He had already greeted Yu Gan before this trip.

The most important thing is that his current total net worth is only more than five million spirit stones, and he carries them all with him. This round trip is not enough for travel expenses!

Ding Jianyang's words were unclear. He still didn't know what the secret treasure was. It was hard to say whether it was worth so many spiritual stones. What's more, even Ding Jianyang couldn't guarantee whether anyone had discovered it or whether it was still there. There.

If the bet was in vain and so many spiritual stones were lost, it would be a waste of both people and money.

It will be a problem to come back then.

After much deliberation, Tangning decided to take the Wind Spirit Ship. Although it took a little longer, it was not a loss in saving one million and seven hundred thousand spirit stones.

If there really is a secret treasure there that has not been discovered by anyone, we can just take the Heavenly Spirit Ship back.

Just as he was about to speak, Ding Jianyang said in a hoarse voice: "We are going to take the Tianling Ship."

Tangning glanced at him and remained silent.

"Two fellow Taoists, please follow me." The woman led the two people to a stone room on the second floor of the attic and knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." A rich man's voice came from inside.

The woman pushed the door open and walked in. Sitting inside was a middle-aged man with a beard and full cheeks, who was in the late Nascent Soul.

"Fellow martial artist, these two guests are going to Fairy Island on the Tianling Ship of our headquarters." The woman bowed her head and said.

The rules of the Netherworld Sea organization are very strange. They do not use titles such as senior, uncle, or lord to distinguish the level of cultivation to show respect.

Instead, they are all called fellow Taoists, regardless of whether they are high or low monks. According to them, this is to show that everyone in the organization is equal, with only different positions and no distinction between high and low.

Taoist friends, as the name suggests, are friends of the same Taoism. It is the most basic title for monks to communicate with each other in the spiritual world.

The man glanced at the two of them: "Two fellow Taoists went to Xianling Island for unknown reasons?"

"Does your department still have this rule when traveling on merchant ships?" Tang Ning was wary.

The man smiled and said, "I saw that the two Taoists were dressed strangely, so I asked out of curiosity. Now the entire Qinghai has been included in the jurisdiction of our organization. Except for the Taoists of our organization who are on official business, few people travel such a long distance to the island. ”

"Since the two fellow Taoists don't want to say it, that's all. But I have to remind the two fellow Taoists that Qinghai today is different from the past. When you two arrive at Xianling Island, remember to abide by the rules of the island and don't cause trouble, otherwise Do it at your own risk.”

Tang Ning said: "The two of us are monks from Fairy Island. We only returned to Fairy Island this time to handle some private matters. We will never violate the taboos of your organization. Don't worry, senior."

"I'm also kindly reminding you to avoid any unpleasantness when the time comes. It's good for the two fellow Taoists to be aware of it. There are six million spiritual stones in total."

The two men each took out three hundred spirit stones from their storage bags and handed them to him. The man took the spirit stones, handed them their number plates, and asked them to sign and pledge their names on the file.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, please take the two guests to the backyard to rest!"

"Yes, two fellow Taoists, please." The woman responded, leading the two of them out of the room and to the rear courtyard: "Fellow Taoists, please rest peacefully here. When the Leizi ship from our headquarters arrives, we will inform the two Taoists. friend."

"Good work."

The woman turned around and left. When she returned to the palace, she saw another man wearing Nether Sea clothing coming towards her and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, fellow martial artist, please come over."

"Okay." The woman came back to the second-floor attic room, bowed her head to the middle-aged man named Wu, and said, "What are your orders for calling me here?"

"Have those two people been settled just now?"

"Yes, already checked in."

"What do you think?"

"There must be something weird. Two Jindan monks spent millions of spiritual stones to go to Fairy Island, and they dressed up so strangely that they refused to reveal their identities."

"Well, I also think their motives are impure, so be it! You will be responsible for this matter to the end. When they get on the ship, tell them to keep an eye on them."

"Okay, I understand."

In the spacious and bright room, Tang Ning saw the woman walking away and said, "Our trip won't be in vain!"

Ding Jianyang still had the same hoarse voice: "I don't know."

"Looking at you, you don't seem to care about millions of spirit stones."

Ding Jianyang said: "It's not that I don't care, but I don't have that much time to go back and forth. If I take the Wind Spirit Ship, it will take at least three or four years to go back and forth. I can't compare to you. I disappeared for so long for no reason. It will be difficult to explain after I go back. can not say it clearly."

"I have racked my brains and used every method to find time this time."

"Besides, now that the money has been paid, what's the use of worrying about gains and losses? Everything just depends on fate."

Tang Ning said: "I'm very curious, how much salary can they give you every year, so that you can spend three million spirit stones without blinking an eye. With my cultivation, in this sect, it's only four million spirit stones a year." . Could it be that their salary is higher than mine?”

"My annual salary is 600,000 spiritual stones."

"Six hundred thousand is not even enough for elixirs, but looking at the way you spend three million, it seems that you have a lot of money."

"If you are so curious, I can tell you that when the Mubei demons went south, the Zhu family transferred all their assets to the Chamber of Commerce just in case. After Zhu Bochong died, I alone have the final say in the Zhu family's affairs. The property will naturally fall into my hands. The Zhu family has been standing in Xingang for thousands of years, and they still have some assets, which are more than enough for me to practice alone. "

"What about the Zhu family?"

"The demons from Mubei have gone south. The Zhu family has long existed in name only. They are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. They can make waves."

"Where's Zhu Yunrou?"

"After all, she is the wife of my Ming Media. The rest of the Zhu family can ignore her, so how can she ignore her? I will always keep her with me, and she will die at the end of her life."

"End of life?" Tang Ning could not imagine what kind of torture Zhu Yunrou had to endure during her lifetime in exchange for such a simple sentence of "end of life."

With Ding Jianyang's unforgettable hatred for her, he will definitely not let her go easily. The thought of keeping her with him is terrifying.

What's more, Zhu Yunrou's temperament makes the two of them incompatible, so why would they stay by his side unless they have no choice but to resist.

All this can only be said to be karma and retribution. If Zhu Yunrou had not been so domineering and had some kind thoughts, and had not humiliated Ding Jianyang in every possible way, he would not have ended up like this.

"Do you think it's possible for them to monitor us?" Tang Ning walked to the window, looked out the window, and asked.

Since this is Netherworld City, there is no need for someone to monitor them, so the two of them did not take off their hats when they were talking.

"I don't know, maybe!"

"Then how should we respond? You should understand their behavior!"

"Don't worry too much. From what I know about them, they rarely interfere and harass casual cultivators. At most, they can send people to quietly monitor them. When they get to Fairy Island, they can get rid of them."

Tang Ning frowned slightly and said nothing. For a while, the two of them practiced behind closed doors in the courtyard every day without going out.

Three months later, the two finally arrived at Fairy Island.
