Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Dark clouds covered the moon, and the night rain poured down. In a slightly dim room, several men and women gathered together in one room, everyone frowned and looked worried.

A petite woman with a pretty face kept walking back and forth inside the house, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked outside the house from time to time, showing her anxiety.

"Junior sister Wang, please stop moving back and forth and just wait for the news! There's no point in being anxious now." A man said.

The woman looked worried: "Why hasn't Senior Brother Gao come back? Isn't he being detained?"

No one said anything in the room, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard the sound of footsteps outside. Several people looked at each other and jumped up, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"It's Senior Brother Gao," the woman said happily.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, the door of the house was pushed open, and a burly man came in from the outside.

"Junior brother Gao, how are you? Have you found out any news about your uncle?" Yan Qing asked quickly.

Gao Yuan said: "I went to find Senior Jin Zhengyang. According to what he said, after Master Jiang was taken away by the law enforcement monks, someone quickly launched a thorough investigation of Huangyuan Mountain. Now there are rumors that Master Jiang has been imprisoned."

Wang Jiaxin said anxiously: "What should we do? Senior Brother Gao, we have to find a way to rescue our uncle. Should we not go to Senior Gao? Ask him if he has any good ideas."

Gao Yuan shook his head.

Xu Jiayin glanced at her: "Junior sister Wang, don't say such silly things. You should know that with our ability, we can't help. It would be good if we can protect ourselves, especially you."

Wang Jiaxin's body stiffened, her expression was gloomy, and she lowered her head and said nothing.

The room fell into silence, no one made a sound, and everyone frowned and said nothing.

After a while, Chen Xiaofan said: "We can't stay in this place any longer. We have to leave quickly, otherwise we may be killed at any time."

When Wang Jiaxin heard this, she suddenly raised her head and said excitedly: "Brother Chen, we can't just leave. Uncle Jiang is now in prison and needs our help."

Chen Xiaofan said: "No matter what, Master Jiang is always a descendant of the Jiang family. These reasons are not enough to convict him of death. At most, he will be grounded and imprisoned. Even if he is imprisoned for hundreds of years, with his cultivation level, he will not be able to live long after he is released." It’s not like there’s no chance of turning around.”

"It's different for us. Without Master Jiang's protection, if he wants to deal with us, it's no different than squeezing an ant to death. No one will offend him for us."

"You have to leave now before it's too late."

Wang Jiaxin said resolutely: "No, we can't abandon Master Jiang at this time. If you want to leave, I won't leave."

Chen Xiaofan said: "Then let's vote according to the old rules! I propose to leave here immediately. Junior Brother Xu, what do you mean?"

Xu Jiayin looked at Wang Jiaxin, opened her mouth, swallowed the words back, lowered her head and said nothing.

"Junior Brother Gao, what about you?"

Gao Yuan did not hesitate: "Let's go, we must go."

"Junior Brother Yan?"

"Then let's go! A gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall. The situation here is too dangerous for us now."

"Junior Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Yao said nothing and just nodded.

"Four to one, the resolution is passed."

Yan Qing said: "The question is where should we go now? There must be a goal."

Wang Jiaxin looked determined: "If you want to leave, you go. I won't leave anyway. Senior Brother Xu, will you leave?"

Xu Jiayin looked up at the hopeful look she cast: "I... I'll stay too! It's always good to have more people taking care of you. Things may not be that bad, and maybe things can turn around."

Gao Yuan frowned and said: "Junior sister Wang, we made an agreement at the beginning. No matter what happens, we must obey the decision of the six-person group. Now the vote is 4 to 2. You should abide by your promise and go with us."

Wang Jiaxin said loudly: "At this moment, Uncle Jiang was framed and imprisoned because of us. How could we just walk away and abandon him? I can't do this kind of thing. I would rather die here than Go."

Yan Qing said: "No one wants to abandon Master Jiang. It's just that the current situation forces us to do anything we can. If we stay here, we will die in vain and it will not help matters. If Master Jiang is here, he doesn't want to see us stay here and wait to die." "

"Then you go! Senior Brother Xu and I will stay."

The few people were in a stalemate, and Gao Yuan and Chen Xiaofan looked at each other.

Gao Yuan nodded slightly, Chen Xiaofan flashed and grabbed Wang Jiaxin, and the spiritual power in his body rushed towards him.

"Senior Brother Chen." Seeing this, Xu Jiayin shouted and quickly went up to stop him.

Gao Yuan stopped him with one hand and shouted softly: "Junior Brother Xu, do you want to watch Junior Sister Wang stay here and be humiliated? We are doing this for her own good."

Xu Jiayin froze.

Yan Qing also came over and said, "There is no other way. Brother Xu, you know this decision is correct. We must leave here."

On the other side, Wang Jiaxin gradually couldn't hold on under the pressure of his huge spiritual power, and kept shouting: "Let me go, I won't leave."

After a while, his facial features gradually became distorted, his body bones creaked, and his face showed a look of pain. Then his head tilted and he fell into a coma.

Xu Jiayin hurried forward and hugged her limp body.

Chen Xiaofan clicked on her a few times, and his spiritual power sealed her spirit sea, Niwan, and spring. He patted Xu Jiayin's shoulders and arms: "I will be the bad guy. If Junior Sister Wang wants to blame her in the future, let her Hating me is better than staying here."

Yan Qing said: "The most important thing now is, where should we go?"

Chen Xiaofan pondered for a while and said: "Uncle Chen Da is in Xingyue Sect, not far from here. Maybe we can go to him and make plans based on the situation."

Gao Yuan said: "I have a better place to go. Uncle Tangning is in Xuantang City, Yuanxian County. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Moreover, he has Taixuanzong as his backer. Even if the Jiang family comes to trouble us, he is capable enough to protect us."

"This is a good place, I agree. We have followed him for a while, and now we go to seek refuge with him, and he will not refuse to accept us."

"I agree."

"Then it's settled, let's set off without further ado."

Several people quickly reached a consensus and filed out of the room.

…………

The sun was shining brightly, there were no clouds in the sky, and the empty valley was enveloped by a large light curtain. Two rays of light shot out from the distance, revealing the figures of Tang Ning and Jiang Xinquan.

"This is the Pingyang Valley I mentioned earlier. This is the alliance's property located in this pavilion. All the elixirs we handed over to the alliance are transported here to refine the elixirs and sell them."

Not long after, the light curtain dissolved into a gap, and a bearded man with full cheeks came out, saluting: "I've met these two seniors."

Jiang Xinquan nodded slightly, and the three of them entered the inner room and arrived in front of a majestic cave. A middle-aged man with a large face and big ears had already been waiting here to greet them.

The two of them disappeared from the light, and the man came forward with a smile on his face and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, it's been a long time."

Jiang Xinquan returned the courtesy and said, "Fellow Daoist Fang, let me introduce to you. This is Junior Brother Tang Ning, the newly appointed captain of this department. Junior Brother Tang, this is the Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan that I told you about before."

"Fellow Taoist Tang, I have admired you for a long time. In fact, I have long wanted to pay a visit to you, but I was afraid of being rude. I never thought that you would come to visit me in person today, which would be disrespectful and disrespectful."

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Fang. I'm new here and don't know many things, so Senior Brother Jiang came here to familiarize me with it. I hope Fellow Daoist Fang can give me some advice."

"How dare you? From now on, our industry will have to rely on fellow Taoist Tang."

Jiang Xinquan said: "Fellow Daoist Fang, I will officially step down in a few months. If you have any questions, please go directly to Junior Brother Tang. Today, I specially bring Junior Brother Tang to learn about your property. How about we go to various places first?" "

"Okay." Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Two fellow Taoists, please follow me."

The three of them jumped up and arrived at a majestic palace. The interior was spacious and bright, and the decoration was splendid.

"This is our alchemy hall. There is a third-level high-grade Qingyan fire vein that is more than two miles long and one hundred feet deep, which is enough to last for a hundred years." Fang Yuan introduced as he walked.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, how much is the fire vein in your place worth?"

"I don't know the specific cost. I heard that it cost several thousand high-grade spiritual stones when laying it. Twenty years ago, due to the depletion of the fire veins, I asked someone to replace the fire veins, which cost about six to seven hundred high-grade spiritual stones. Spiritual stone."

"How many alchemy rooms are there in this alchemy palace?"

"As for the alchemy rooms, there are only ten in total. It is useless to have more, because we only have six alchemists."

"Only six people were recruited? Are there enough people?"

"That's enough. Fellow Taoist Tang also knows how much it costs to train a skilled alchemist these days. Therefore, it is not easy to recruit these people. It costs a lot of money. If there are a few more, the profit will be gone."

"How much salary will be given to these alchemists you recruit each year?"

"With a fixed salary of 10 million per year, we must ensure a 70% success rate. Each additional pill refined will be given a 30% profit share."

"What if the success rate is not 70%?"

"Then the loss will be deducted from their salary."

"How can you guarantee that they won't line their own pockets and hide the extra refined elixirs secretly?"

"We will send people to keep an eye on them when they are making elixirs."

While the two were talking, they walked through the hall and came to a deep and wide corridor, about a hundred feet long. Every one or twenty feet away, there was a stone door on both sides, and a monk stood outside each stone door. Waiting.

"This is our alchemy room." Fang Yuan pushed open one of the stone doors. The room inside was spacious, about thirty feet in diameter. There was a red tripod with three legs and two ears in the middle, and there were many cabinets and cabinets on both sides. , displaying various types of auxiliary medicines. There is also a resting room inside, which is very clean and elegant.

"This is Taoist Taoist Shao Hui's alchemy room. He happened to be resting today, so he brought Taoist Tang here to have a look. They usually make alchemy here."
