Chronicles of Celestial Origins
Chapter 864: Snooping for news
Time flies, and ten days pass by in the blink of an eye.
Around noon that day, Tang Ning was instilling fairy mother-of-pearl clams in the cave as usual. Suddenly, there was a shaking in the storage bag. He took out the formation plate, then flashed out of the room.
Outside the thick fog, Jiang Tianyuan stood tall and tall. Seeing him disappearing from the light, he saluted and said, "Senior Brother Tang, Uncle Yu is calling you to come to the meeting hall."
"Okay." Tangning responded, her light rising, and not long after, she arrived at the meeting hall directly under the Sixth Team.
Inside, Yu Qian stood with his hands behind his back. Tang Ning stepped forward and bowed in salute: "Disciple pays homage to my uncle. I don't know what my uncle has to say when he summons me."
Yu Qian turned around: "I didn't summon you, it was Master Huang who wanted to see you. Come with me!"
"Yes." Tang Ning was surprised and kept her expression straight as she followed him out of the hall and back to Huang Yuan Cave.
In the slightly dark room, Huang Yuan sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes half open and half closed.
"Uncle Master, our disciple Tang Ning has brought us here." Yu Qian stepped forward and bowed.
"Disciple pays homage to Master-Uncle." Tang Ning followed suit and saluted.
Huang Yuan waved his hand: "You go ahead! I have something to tell him alone."
"Yes." Yu Qian responded and retreated.
"I heard from Yu Qian that you went to Donglai County after disappearing for a few years? You have gained a lot, right?" Huang Yuan said lightly.
Tang Ning didn't know what he meant by suddenly asking about this matter, so she replied: "Thanks to my great uncle, it's a good thing that the trip was not in vain."
Huang Yuan said: "Yu Gan told me that you found him a few days ago and actively asked to give up the opportunity to be in the Spirit Gathering Formation, hoping to receive more tasks and accumulate merit. Is this true?"
"The disciple dare not hide it. By chance, the disciple got half a pond of thousand-year-old spiritual milk. Relying on this item, the disciple's cultivation has advanced rapidly, and he has reached the perfection of the golden elixir. Therefore, he hopes to receive more tasks and accumulate merits in exchange for the gift of a baby. ”
"Thousand-year Spiritual Milk? It's your chance to get this thing." Huang Yuan glanced at him: "I called you here this time because there is another secret and important thing for you to complete."
"Please tell me from my great uncle, this disciple will never dare to resign, even through fire and water."
"It's not that serious. This matter is also of great benefit to you. Do you know that the Netherworld Sea Organization Information Exchange has recently undergone a series of changes."
"Disciple doesn't know."
"I won't go into specific measures. Now the Netherworld Sea Organization has set a series of thresholds for intelligence transactions and implemented a hierarchical system. Only when a certain level is reached can corresponding intelligence transactions be carried out."
"This move is mainly aimed at us using the intelligence exchange to reversely spy on information, so this barrier has been set up. Anyone who inquires about personnel-related intelligence must meet the stipulated level standards."
"So we need a few number plates that meet their identity standards. Since you completed the last mission well, I will still send you this time."
"Number plate? What number plate?" Tangning asked confused.
Huang Yuandao: "This is a new rule after their reform. From now on, all monks who go to the Netherworld Organization's information exchange to buy and sell information need to receive a special number plate made by them."
"Number plates are divided into levels one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight. The higher the level, the greater the discounts you can enjoy, and correspondingly, the greater the intelligence authority."
"For example, if you want to inquire about my status, you need a license plate of level five or above."
"Of course, this is only for information such as personnel information. If you want to inquire about objects or secret treasures, there is no corresponding threshold."
"And this is only for the party who buys intelligence information. There is also no threshold for the party who sells intelligence information."
Tangning nodded and roughly understood the intention of the Netherworld Sea Organization's change in intelligence trading. It was clearly aimed at Xuanmen and other forces to prevent them from using the loopholes in intelligence trading to attack the intelligence network they had established.
For ordinary monks, the impact of this change is minimal, but it has caused a lot of trouble to other forces. However, you have a strategy and I have a countermeasure.
To get a few higher-level license plates is not a problem at all for a force of Taixuanzong's level. I just wonder if the Netherworld Sea organization has any backup plans.
In fact, if you want to prevent other forces from attacking the established intelligence network through intelligence transactions, the best way is to directly cut off all personnel intelligence transactions.
But for the Netherworld Sea Organization, this loss is too great.
"What should disciples do to get the number plate of the corresponding level?"
"It's very simple. You just need to do as we ask and go to the Netherworld Sea Organization Information Exchange to conduct normal information trading. After accumulating a certain amount of points, you will naturally be given a license plate of the corresponding level, and then you can transfer the license plate to you. Turn it over to the regiment and the mission is completed."
"Disciple understands."
Huang Yuan flipped his hands and took out a file and a storage bag: "Follow the conditions above and visit more exchanges. The storage bag contains the funds for your mission. After completing the mission, the headquarters will I’ll give you a reward for your meritorious service.”
"Yes." Tangning responded as she took the file and storage bag.
"Go! Report to me anytime if anything happens."
"Farewell, disciple." Tang Ning turned and left the room.
……………………
The sun was shining high, there were no clouds in the sky, and in the remote mountains, the city outline stood tall. The three large characters "Netherworld City" on the city wall were shining with light. A ray of light came from the distance, and a man wearing a black robe and hat appeared. The figure was none other than Tangning.
The main road in the city is very deserted, with some attic shops on both sides, and there are no people around.
Walking along Qingshi Street to the Central Huizi Square, the flow of people increased and it became a bit lively.
"Senior, what can I do for you?" Tangning entered the attic of an information exchange. A woman wearing Netherworld costume and a mask came up to her and said.
"I want to get some news."
"Senior, please follow me." The woman led him through the hall, turned around several courtyards, came to a long stone room, and knocked on the door.
With a soft creak, the stone door swung open.
"Senior, please." The woman made a gesture of invitation.
Tang Ning went straight inside. In the dark room, there was also a monk wearing robes and hats sitting in front of the stone table.
The stone door closed again, and Tang Ning sat down directly opposite him.
"Is this your first time to come to this headquarters, fellow Taoist?" the man in black robe said with a very rough voice. He turned his hand, took out a musical note, and pointed it towards it, and the talisman emitted a faint light.
"I came here once a long time ago, and I know a thing or two about your department's rules."
The man said: "The department has now revised the regulations. All Taoist friends who come to trade information, whether buying or selling information, need to receive a number plate specially made by the department. This number plate is not the same as the previous one. This number plate Fellow Taoists can always keep it, which is equivalent to an identity authentication left in the headquarters.”
"The number plates are divided into eight levels, which are made of wood, stone, iron, copper, silver, gold, jade, and crystal, corresponding to the eight different levels."
"The higher the level of your license plate, the greater the discounts you can enjoy. It is not only limited to information. You can also enjoy the same discounts when purchasing cultivation materials at the headquarters and riding on the headquarters' merchant ships."
"According to the newly revised regulations of this department, a level threshold has been set for purchasing information on important personnel. This is also to protect the partners of various forces who provide us with information. I think fellow Taoists should be able to understand."
"Except for personnel information, everything else remains as usual."
Tang Ning said, "What discount do you mean? Can you specify it in detail?"
The man said: "When you come to the headquarters, you can receive a wooden identity token. This wooden token represents your identity in the headquarters. Every subsequent transaction made with this token will be recorded in the headquarters. "
"When the Taoist friend's transaction amount reaches 100,000 spirit stones in the headquarters, he can exchange the wooden tokens for stone tokens."
"After exchanging the stone token, Taoist friends can enjoy a discount of 10,000 spirit stones."
"When the transaction amount reaches one million spiritual stones, you can exchange it for a copper token and enjoy the discount of one hundred thousand spiritual stones."
"When you reach tens of millions of spirit stones, you can exchange them for silver tokens and enjoy the discount of one million spirit stones."
"Based on this, every time the transaction amount increases tenfold, you can exchange for more tokens of one level."
"In addition to the corresponding spirit stone quota discounts, there are many other conveniences. For example, you can also enjoy certain discounts when purchasing items in the headquarters store or taking a merchant ship."
“Stone tokens can enjoy a 2% discount, copper tokens can enjoy a 4% discount, and silver tokens can enjoy a 6% discount. Based on this, you can enjoy a maximum of 10% discount. "
Tang Ning said, "Fellow Taoist, you just said that your ministry has set a level threshold for personnel information. I wonder what you mean? Can you elaborate on it?"
The man said: "To put it simply, we no longer open all personnel information, but only to some people who hold corresponding level tokens."
"For example, if fellow Taoists want to inquire about the movements of a Nascent Soul cultivator, they need to hold a level four silver token. Without this level of token, we will not provide any information about the Nascent Soul cultivator."
Tang Ning said: "The news that I want a thousand-year-old Blood and Bone Flower needs to be clearly stated in the hands of an individual. In addition, the person's identity information must be attached. Of course, it would be better if your department could provide it directly."
"Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment." The man patted the left side of the stone case, and the stone case moved to both sides. One end of the mysterious rod inside was connected to the stone case, and the other end went straight to the bottom of the bottom.
The man slid the note down the stone pole. After waiting for about a stick of incense, a folded article slid up the stone pole on the other side.
The man took the note and unfolded it and glanced at it: "This news is five hundred thousand spirit stones. If fellow Taoist agrees, the business will be considered a deal. A deposit of one hundred thousand spirit stones must be paid first."
Tangning flipped her hands over and took out four high-grade spiritual stones from her storage bag and handed them to him: "How long will it take for your department to give me a reply?"
"Fellow Taoist, you can come here in three months to collect what you need."
"What if your department doesn't find out about the thousand-year-old Blood and Bone Flower by then?"
"At that time, fellow Taoists have two choices. First, continue the transaction for another three months to collect what you need. We will compensate you for your round-trip travel expenses and reduce the fee by 3% based on the transaction price. Second, take away the deposit and cancel this transaction.”
"Okay, that's it!"
