Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed by in the blink of an eye. In the meeting hall, several people were chatting away, and Tang Ning was talking to several people with a smile as usual.

No one had any reaction to Lu Fang's absence from the meeting. It was common for someone in the team to not come to the meeting occasionally, and it was not surprising at all.

When Yu Qian came in from the outside, Tang Ning clearly felt that he paused slightly as his eyes swept across the crowd. She was probably wondering why Lu Fang didn't come to participate.

Although several people occasionally do not participate in the end-of-month discussions due to various matters, they must say hello to Yu Gan in advance.

After all, Lu Fang had made sufficient preparations for this trip, and the purpose was to lure him into the formation and kill him.

In their imagination, the two of them went to Fengyuan Pavilion, and after using the formation to kill themselves, they could immediately come back and do whatever they had to do, just like they were doing now.

Yu Qian glanced at several people, walked straight to the main seat, and conveyed the report of this month's alliance. After the discussion, everyone filed out and returned to the cave without mentioning it.

Two months later, Lu Fang's death was finally discovered. Because he did not participate in the meeting for two consecutive months, Yu Gan felt that something was wrong, so he went to check the soul stone he left behind in the headquarters, and then it was confirmed that he had been killed.

In the meeting hall, after Yu Gan announced the news of Lu Fang's death, everyone looked shocked, and Tang Ning also showed a suitably surprised look.

"I have reported this matter to the alliance. Master Fang has issued an order to investigate the truth behind Lu Fang's death. The disciples of the eighth team directly under him will be responsible for the details. Our team has to send one person to participate. Let Yuyan follow up on this matter!"

"Yes." Yu Yan responded.

When Tang Ning heard this, her face remained calm, but her heart was filled with fear. She didn't know if they could find the corresponding clues.

"You need to be careful when acting outside. Although Xuantang City is peaceful, it cannot guarantee absolute safety. Don't think that just because you are a disciple of the sect, you can act unscrupulously. You need to know that there are not a few monks who privately hate our sect. There are still many things. It’s better to be cautious.”

Yu Qian said a few words and announced the end of the discussion.

"Hey! I had known that Master Yu would convene an urgent meeting and there must be something big happening, but I didn't expect it to be such a bad news."

Yu Yan sighed: "To tell you the truth, I have been feeling uneasy since yesterday. I always felt that something was going to happen. Who knew it was the sad news that Senior Brother Lu was killed."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Senior brother Lu is really unlucky. First he failed to conceive a baby and owed a lot of debt, and now he was killed inexplicably and for no apparent reason. Having said that, if he hadn't failed to conceive a baby, he might not have been killed. So Junior Brother, you have to investigate carefully to find out who brutally harmed Senior Brother Lu."

"Of course." Several people stood up as they spoke.

"Brothers, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." Yu Yan suddenly said.

"Junior Brother Yu, why are you so polite? Just say whatever you want."

"Should we go to Senior Brother Lu's cave to see what relics there are? He owed a lot of debts during his lifetime. If the relics left behind are enough to pay off the debts, we will help him fulfill his last wish! I think Senior Brother Lu I don’t want to be in hell and have my debts demanded.”

"Well, I agree, Junior Brother Jiang, what about you!" Zhang Chaoyang was the first to respond.

"Okay." Jiang Tianyuan nodded.

"Senior Brother Tang, would you like to go and have a look together?"

Tang Ning knew that they were actually thinking about the relics left by Lu Fang. Lu Fang had borrowed millions of spiritual stones from each of his previous marriages. Now that the creditor was dead, he naturally had to find a way to get the spiritual stones back.

"Okay." Tang Ning nodded and replied. Lu Fang and he had no debt relationship for a long time. The reason why he wanted to follow Lu Fang to take a look was because he was afraid that Lu Fang would leave any clues in the cave.

Although this possibility is slim, as the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unlikely event.

"Junior Brother Han, what about you?"

"I have other important matters, so I'll take my leave."

After Han Fu finished speaking, he walked out of the hall, the light flew up, and left straight away.

"Since Senior Brother Han doesn't want to go, let's set off!"

Several people filed out of the main hall, and soon they arrived at Lufang Cave Mansion.

There were clouds and mist outside the mansion, and the four of them went straight in. Lu Fang's cave was not big, just a few hundred feet long, and they quickly searched it all.

Except for some cultivation materials placed in a room several feet in size, there is nothing else in the house, and there are no other valuable items.

Zhang Chaoyang and Yu Yan both looked unhappy. The value of these training materials was obviously not enough to compensate Lu Fang for the spiritual stones he owed them.

"With only this little thing, I don't think it's necessary to sell it to repay Senior Brother Lu's debt. Let's just share it among the three of you! Doesn't Senior Brother Lu still owe you several million spiritual stones?" Tang Ning said in time, breaking the silence.

"This... I'm afraid it's not good!" Zhang Chaoyang muttered pretendingly.

"There's nothing wrong with it. When Senior Brother Lu borrowed the spirit stone from you, didn't he say that if he failed to conceive and was killed, the things in the cave could pay off your debt? I can testify that you only took what belongs to you. It’s definitely not about taking advantage of the situation and grabbing the relics.”

"I think what Senior Brother Tang said is reasonable, and I agree." Yu Yan said first.

The three of them then divided up all the items in the room and transported them back to their respective caves.

Later, the disciples who investigated Lu Fang's murder case did not find any specific clues after a brief investigation, and the matter was dropped.

……………

In the blink of an eye, another two years passed.

In the alchemy room, Tang Ning was concentrating, and the red cauldron inner elixir pill was slowly cracking.

After a long time, he patted the alchemy cauldron, and a black and round elixir came out from the dragon's mouth. Before it could fall into the wooden box below, it turned into a pile of powder as it fell.

After failing again, Tang Ning frowned slightly. In the past two years, he had tried countless times to refine third-level high-grade elixirs and wasted an unknown amount of medicinal herbs, but so far he had never succeeded.

There is always a slight difference. The control and balance of the medicinal properties and heat are always so small that it is difficult to explain in words.

In order to solve this problem, he visited famous teachers all over the place. He visited several disciples who were slightly famous in the alliance's alchemy. After each conversation, he felt that he had benefited a lot, but it was of no use.

The methods of alchemy may seem to be similar, but in fact they are quite different. Everyone has their own opinions on the strength of spiritual fire control and the mastery of medicinal properties, the coordination with fire veins, the output of spiritual power, the concentration of spiritual consciousness, and even the rhythm of breathing.

The doorway here is deep!

If you just follow the instructions, you will end up learning the same thing. Everyone has their own unique method of making alchemy.

Even if you tell others clearly, they may not be able to learn it. This is the crystallization of their own experience, the summary of countless failures, and the method that is most suitable for them.

Only by walking out of your own way can you truly grasp the balance and essence of it.

Tang Ning leaned down and gently touched the powder of the elixir, feeling the heat of the elixir and the residual medicinal properties of the unbalanced conflict.

After a while, he stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was not in a hurry to continue refining, but sat down cross-legged, recalling the details of his failure.

There was a knock on the door. He opened the stone door and saw Yu Yan standing outside.

"Junior Brother Yu, why are you here? But Uncle Yu summoned me?" It was Yu Yan's turn at the meeting hall this month, so Tang Ning asked this question.

Yu Yan said: "They are from the Finance Hall, Senior Brother Tang. The Human Infant Pill and Bailian Blood Coagulation Pill that you applied for redemption from the sect last time have been delivered. Just now I took them to the cave to find you, but I failed. Guess." You should be in the Alchemy Room, I’m here to inform you, go to the Finance Hall to get it yourself!”

"Thank you, junior brother."

"It's such a small thing, why bother saying thank you? Just don't blame me for disturbing Senior Brother Tang's alchemy. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." After that, Yu Yan turned around and left.

Tang Ning went back indoors to tidy up and put the refined elixirs, herbs, pills and other items into the storage bag. Then she left the alchemy hall and arrived at the Alliance Finance Hall after a short while.

There were still two disciples inside taking turns. Seeing him arrive, one of them stood up to greet him and said: "Senior Brother Tang, you are here. I just went to your cave to look for you. When I saw that you were not there, I entrusted Senior Brother Yu to bring you a message. "

Tang Ning bowed her head and returned the gift: "I heard that the Human Infant Pill and Hundred Refined Blood Coagulation Pill exchanged by the sect have arrived?"

"Yes." The man led him to a stone room, took out two occupying-sized wooden boxes from a cabinet, and then took out a file: "Senior Brother Tang can take this thing away after he signs and seals it. ”

Tang Ning took the wooden box and saw a label on it, one for the Human Infant Pill and the other for the Hundred Refining Blood Coagulation Pill.

He opened it and saw two pills of different sizes and colors held firmly in the grooves of the wooden box. One was as red as blood and the size of a steel pillar. It was a Hundred Refined Blood Coagulating Pill.

The other one looks like a small baby, the size of a pebble, and it is the Human Infant Pill.

Tang Ning took out two elixirs, carefully observed and felt them in her hands, and confirmed that they were correct. The spiritual energy inside was sufficient and stable, and they were not waste elixirs or defective products.

"Senior Brother Tang is really cautious. Could it be that he is worried that I might be able to steal something and change things?" The man next to him said with a smile.

You can’t be careless! Just because she believed in Lu Fang, she fell into his trap and almost confessed.

This incident had a great impact on Tang Ning's psychology. He and Lu Fang had always had a good relationship and got along harmoniously. They were brothers and sisters. Who would have known that Lu Fang would deliberately put him to death.

It can be seen that even monks who interact frequently cannot trust without reservation and must remain vigilant.

Lu Fang succeeded in deceiving him because he didn't understand the formation method.

"Young people are poor and have short ambitions, which makes Junior Brother Cheng laugh." Tang Ning replied, then signed and stamped the file as instructed, put away the wooden box, walked out of the hall, and walked straight away.
