Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning said: "Senior Brother Lu misunderstood. I don't want to get involved in managing these matters. I just want to take a look at the accounts and have an understanding of the department's funding."

Lu Guang said: "Let's discuss this matter later! If Junior Brother Tang has no objections to this financial file report, let's stop here today."

Tangning knew that she couldn't rush into this matter and nodded: "I'll take my leave first."

After that, he got up and left the room. Wei Xian sent him out of the cave and saw him fleeing away. When he returned to the hall, he wondered: "Senior Brother Tang asked for the disclosure of the department's finances, but he didn't say anything. What does this mean?" ?”

Lu Guang said: "He is waiting for the right time to attack. He knows that we are not a match for the open swords and real guns now, so he is patient. When the time is right, he will take the opportunity to attack."

"Those accounts outside the sect?"

"Those are not secrets. If you must see them, then show them to him!"

Wei Xian nodded.

Tang Ning returned to the cave. Less than two hours later, his storage bag suddenly trembled. He took out the formation plate, pointed it at it, and took the talisman into his hand. However, it was Zhao Liheng who came to visit.

He fiddled with the array plate, and thick fog billowed outside. Zhao Liheng flashed and entered, came to the assistant room and said, "Senior Brother Tang."

"You're here, sit down! Why are you here so late?"

"Last time, Senior Brother Tang asked me to send a letter to various intelligence stations to inquire about the pill recipe. Now I have a response." Zhao Liheng sat down and took a seat as instructed. He turned his left hand and took out a file: "This is from the South China Eastern Intelligence Station. news."

Tang Ning took the file and opened it, but saw that it read: Disciple Cheng Yu reported to his uncle that after many inquiries, he has found the holder of the second-level elixir recipe. I would like to ask his uncle if he needs to contact him. "

Seeing this, Tang Ning felt a little happy. He finally found the second-level elixir recipe. These days, he often thought about refining elixirs to improve his elixir level. Since he was in prison, the cost of elixirs was too high. He emptied all his wealth.

If he can refine the Xiaoyang Pill, on the one hand, it can provide him with the needs of his cultivation, and on the other hand, he can also earn spiritual stones to avoid financial difficulties in the future, when he will no longer have spiritual weapons to sell.

But he suffers from the fact that there is no second-level elixir recipe, so he has never been able to start refining the elixir. The elixir department does have a recipe, but it may not be provided to an outsider, just in case he makes a request for this or that. Yes, do you agree or not?

It is better to ask for help than to ask for help yourself, so he asked Zhao Liheng to send letters to various intelligence stations to inquire about the second-level elixir formula. As long as he got the elixir formula, he could try to refine the vitality elixir.

Since he suffered the Sighing Tribulation, he has not been able to make any progress in his practice. In addition to the cost of elixirs needed to irrigate the fairy mother-of-pearl clams and small white snakes every day, he is already short of spiritual stones. He has no choice but to sell ten high-grade spiritual weapons in exchange for 400,000 yuan. Spiritual stone for emergency.

Fortunately, after he was released from prison, he could receive the sect's salary. With his current salary of six thousand spirit stones per month plus the ministry part, he would have an income of one hundred thousand spirit stones a year, which was barely enough to support the cost of elixirs. .

But as the saying goes, having too many skills is not a burden, let alone a pill that is a daily necessity for oneself.

Anyway, the cultivation level has encountered a bottleneck, and the fairy mother-of-pearl clam is now growing vigorously. In a few years, it is estimated that it will be able to give birth to abundant clams. At that time, you can concentrate on refining elixirs and improve your elixir skills.

"Excuse me, you made a special trip to deliver it to me in the middle of the night."

"Senior Brother Tang is searching for elixirs to make elixirs himself? I didn't know that Senior Brother Tang knew how to use elixirs."

"I know a little bit, but my skills are not advanced. In my early years, I studied the alchemy method for a few days in Jingbei. Later, I studied it for a while when I returned to the sect. However, in recent years, I have been busy with cultivation and have no time to study it anymore."

"Senior Brother Tang met Senior Brother Lu today, right? How was the conversation?"

"Just like that! He showed me the accounts of the department, which should be more credible, but the accounts outside the sect have not been agreed yet."

Zhao Liheng wondered: "Why does Senior Brother Tang have to look at those accounts? I have also been in charge of finance for a while. If you want to know, I can write a file directly to you."

Tangning smiled and said, "You don't understand. Looking at the accounts is not the main thing. The important thing is that I have to get involved in this matter to restrain them and make them worry."

Zhao Liheng asked: "What is Senior Brother Tang's plan?"

Tang Ning said: "I am going to make a change in the department's finance department. I will clarify and plan the system for using finance. However, you have to eat one bite at a time and do things step by step. You can't rush this matter, you have to figure it out slowly." Today in the ministry, we are still at a relative disadvantage and it is not appropriate to rush into trouble. After all, their own interests are involved. "

"If you want to carry out financial reforms in the ministry, you must get the support of the majority of managers. But now Lu Guang has the upper hand. If I raise the case rashly, it will easily intensify the conflict and cause them to counterattack. We must wait for the opportunity to change." "

The two talked for a while, and then Zhao Liheng said goodbye and left.

The next day, Tang Ning left the sect. After walking for less than two days, he came to a courtyard. As soon as he was out of sight, a man came towards him and bowed and saluted: "Disciple Wang Pu pays homage to Master Tang."

"Where's Cheng Yu! Let him come to see me immediately." Tangning said, this is the contact point for the Eastern South China Intelligence Station.

"Yes." Wang Pu responded and flew away with his flying sword.

Tang Ning walked into the room and sat cross-legged, waiting quietly.

About half a day later, footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and a man with a broad forehead and a broad face hurried in, bowed and saluted: "Disciple Cheng Yu pays homage to Master Tang."

Tang Ning said: "Yesterday, I received your message from Black Eagle. I have a clue about the second-level elixir recipe, right? Who has it?"

Cheng Yu replied: "Since I received the message from my uncle, I sent someone to inquire. There is a casual cultivator recruited in our station. He was originally acquainted with Meng Chengyuan, the son of the Meng family. When the two were having a banquet, that person Meng Chengyuan once said that his family owns all the elixir recipes from Qi refining to foundation building, and his family has been training alchemists. "

Tang Ning was overjoyed. There were all the elixir recipes from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, which meant that there were Yuan Qi Dan, Strengthening Pill, and Xiao Yang Dan. That would be great. If you could get the second-level elixir recipes in your bag at once. In the future, I will also save myself from tossing back and forth to find the recipe.

"Are you sure? Meng Jiaguo has all the recipes for second-level elixirs."

Cheng Yu replied: "This disciple has not received orders from my uncle and has not investigated privately, but I think it is good to say this. There are four foundation-building monks in the Meng family. Among them, Meng Aowei is a famous alchemist, and he is relatively unknown in South China." Reputation. Just..."

"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Yes, the Meng family has already surrendered to the Demon Sect. Now the important members of the family have fled to the Wancong Mountain camp where the Demon Sect is stationed. Only some of the younger disciples with lower cultivation levels are left guarding the original property."

Tang Ning said, "Tell me first, the specific situation of the Meng family, how many monks there are, and what their cultivation levels are."

"Yes." Cheng Yu responded: "The head of the Meng family, Meng Jingwei, is in the middle stage of foundation building. He has a son, Meng Chengyuan. The other three foundation building monks of the Meng family are Meng Aowei, Meng Jian, and Meng An."

"Among them, Meng An is also in the middle stage of foundation building. He has two sons, Meng Yan and Meng Jie. Meng Aowei has a daughter named Meng Tingwei. Meng Jian has no children, but he has a nephew named Meng Weixiang, who is very respected by him. ”

Tangning nodded and said, "Are these people at the Wancong Mountain Camp?"

"Yes, the Meng family only sent four or five juniors to guard their own property. Most of the other families bordering on his family's power have also defected to the Demon Sect. Some other families are afraid of the Demon Sect's revenge, so they openly seize their properties."

Tangning flipped her left hand, took out five medium-grade spiritual stones and handed them to him, "I will come back to you if anything happens."

"Thank you, uncle." Cheng Yu said happily as he took the spirit stone.

Tang Ning didn't say anything, got up and left the courtyard, turned into light and walked away. After walking for more than a day, she arrived at a Taoist temple on a barren mountain in the southern part of the Central Plains.

As soon as his light fell, two men came to greet him. When they saw it was him, they quickly bowed and saluted.

Tangning said, "Where's the Crepe Dragon? Is it here?"

"Senior Crepe went out and has not returned yet." A man replied.

Tangning didn't say anything else, and went straight into the palace and ordered, "When he comes back, let him come to see me."

"yes."

This Taoist temple is the secret contact point of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station. After successfully establishing the foundation, Cree Yinglong has been specially responsible for infiltrating and lurking against the Demon Sect. The intelligence station has also arranged several manpower for him. One is to help him handle affairs. The second is to supervise him.

At night, a ray of light shot out and fell into the courtyard, revealing the figure of a man, who was none other than the Crepe Yinglong.

A disciple hurriedly came forward and said, "Senior Crepe, Uncle Tang is here and waiting for you in the hall."

"Oh?" Cree Yinglong was slightly startled. He quickly came to the main hall, opened the door and entered. Seeing Tang Ning sitting on the main seat, he bowed his head and said, "Tang Xianshi, why are you here?"

Tangning smiled and said, "Yinglong! Long time no see."

Crane Yinglong said: "The former heard that you were released after serving your sentence and served as the inspector of the intelligence station. He always wanted to go to pay a visit and congratulate you. Unfortunately, I am not a disciple of the Shangzong and cannot enter your sect. The Tang Immortal is here today and wants to There must be something to tell you!”

Tang Ning said: "You are now the sole person in charge of the intelligence station. I came to you today to ask for your help with something."

Chu Yinglong said: "Tang Immortal envoy, just ask me if you have something to do. I have received your kindness in rescuing and supporting me, but I have never been able to repay you. Even if I die with swords and fire, I dare not say goodbye."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "It's not that serious. The Meng family in South China has something I want, but now they have defected to the Demon Sect, and their important members have hid in the Wancong Mountain camp, leaving me unable to do anything. I think The insiders of the Demon Sect that you have developed will closely monitor the Meng family's children and inquire about their movements. As soon as they leave the Wancong Mountain camp, they will inform me immediately. "
