Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"How many people have left in the past few days?" Tangning asked.

"One after another, a total of eight people came out."

"What time period are they all in?"

"Master, the night you entered the space rift, three people came out. The next day, five more people came out. On the third day, there was one person."

"Oh!" Tangning nodded and said nothing.

Gu Yuanya asked curiously: "Master, did you find any treasure in the inner room?"

"Have Senior Brother Sima and Senior Brother Qin returned?" "I don't know."

"Go to the Guard Hall and check to see if they have returned to their headquarters."

Gu Yuanya responded and left.

"You guys can go too!" Tangning waved her hand, and the two of them stood up and said yes before leaving the room.

After a while, Gu Yuanya came back and said, "Master, they returned the day before yesterday."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Fan came in from the outside and bowed and saluted: "Master, Master Wei Xian is outside asking for an audience."

"Invite him in!"

"Yes." Mo Fan responded and left.

"Sima Nianzu sent someone here, master, what is he looking for you for? Could it be something about the space rift?" Gu Yuanyahu asked.

Tang Ning did not answer. Soon, a disciple came into the room, bowed and said, "Disciple, I have met my uncle. Master Sima, please come and have a brief introduction."

"Okay." Tang Ning nodded, and the two of them left the room and arrived at Sima Nianzu's residence.

Inside, Sima Nianzu was sitting in the main seat, obviously waiting for him.

"Senior Brother Sima." Tang Ning bowed.

"Junior Brother Tang is here, sit down!"

"I wonder why you called me here?"

"Junior brother Qin is seriously injured. From now on, you will have to take more responsibility for the alliance's affairs." Sima Nianzu glanced at him and said with deep meaning.

"Senior Brother Qin is injured? What's going on?" Tang Ning asked, pretending to be shocked. As soon as Sima Nianzu opened his mouth, he already understood what he meant. He used the fact that Qin Jin was injured to make sure that the tripod was stolen from the tower. The item inside is not your own.

Sima Nianzu failed to attack the Void Refining and suffered a spiritual backlash. Unless there was a great opportunity, this life would most likely end here.

A person who falls into the water, as long as there is a chance of survival, will desperately hold on to it, and even lose his mind and use any means.

Just like Lu Fang back then, after the failed attempt to conceive a baby, he frantically set his sights on him, intending to kill people and gain possessions.

Tangning had suffered such a loss once, so she would naturally be extremely cautious.

"Junior brother Qin was injured in a fight with a snake man in the space rift. It looks like the injury is not serious. He will probably need to rest for a while. You should also know the situation inside the space rift!"

"The snake man that Senior Brother Sima mentioned is the monster with a human face and a snake body?"

"So, you've encountered it too."

"I met it once inside a space crack. It was chasing a monk who was wearing a robe and fighting. I saw it from a distance. I didn't want to cause more trouble, so I ran away immediately. The snake man didn't pay attention to me and just walked straight away. Go after the monk."

"So, Junior Brother Tang has not fought against those snake people?"

"No."

"There was not just one snake-man, but a race. They were hidden in a golden tower under the red swamp. Junior brother Qin and I found out where we were and broke in, but we didn't expect to be besieged by the snake-men." Sima Nianzu Eyes fixed on him: "In the end, the snipe and the clam were fighting for the fishermen's profit. Just when we were fighting with the snake people, a monk in the middle stage of spiritual transformation secretly stole the items from the treasure cauldron that the snake people were closely guarding. ”

"Really?" Tangning's face remained unchanged and she said calmly, "That's a shame. If I were there and the three of us combined our efforts, we might have a chance to get the treasure."

"Those snake people have an ability. High-level snake people can absorb the power of other snake people through fusion. After that person stole the treasure, the snake people group was furious, and low-level snake people integrated into the bodies of high-level snake people. Junior Brother Qin He was seriously injured due to being defeated and almost died at the hands of a snake man."

"I didn't know that he still had this ability."

"If Junior Brother Qin knew who stole the treasure, I would be willing to fight him desperately."

"It's normal to fight inside the space rift, killing people and grabbing treasures. To be honest, after I entered the inner room, I have been worried that someone will secretly do something poisonous. That kind of chaotic and disorderly place is really scary. In comparison , the Tianyuan world is better.”

"Junior brother Tang should have broken into the space rift earlier than us! Why did you return to the alliance so late?"

"I came out yesterday and went out of town for a personal matter."

…

The two chatted for a long time. No matter what he said, Tang Ning always followed his words. Sima Nianzu repeatedly made insinuations to inquire about his movements in the spatial rift, but he was always able to talk him out of it with a few words.

After talking for about half an hour, Tang Ning stood up and left: "Senior Brother Sima, I have nothing else to do, so I will leave first."

"Junior Brother Tang, do you want to go with me to see Junior Brother Qin's injury?" Sima Nianzu had no intention of letting him go.

"good."

"Then let's go!" The two left here and came to Qinjin Cave Mansion, where they were led into the main room by a disciple.

Qin Jin's face was as white as paper, and he was lying on the jade bed. There was a very terrible wound from his face to his navel. His body had been smeared with red ointment. Golden incense candles were lit at the corners, and cigarette smoke curled up in the room.

"Junior Brother Qin, Junior Brother Tang heard that you were seriously injured, so he came over to take a look." Sima Nianzu said.

"Senior Brother Qin, is your injury serious?"

Qin Jin shook his head, breathing weakly: "I didn't expect those snake people to be so powerful. They almost lost their lives. I don't think they will recover in more than ten years."

"Junior brother Qin, just take good care of your injuries! Don't worry about the alliance. If you need anything, just come to me directly."

Qin Jin looked at Tang Ning: "Junior Brother Tang, there is something... ahem... I want to ask you."

"Senior Brother Qin, just say it."

"Treasures from heaven, materials and earth have been obtained by those who have the ability since ancient times. This is how treasure hunting is done inside secret realms. Life and death are all determined by destiny, and each depends on chance. No one can blame anyone. I just want to know who snatched the snake from the golden pagoda that day. Is it you who owns the treasure?”

Tangning looked at his sincere eyes and shook her head: "I heard what Senior Brother Sima said about you. Unfortunately, it was not me."

Qin Jin nodded and said nothing.

"Junior brother Qin, take good care of yourself and don't think about other things so much. Let's go." Sima Nianzu said.

"Senior Brother Qin, I'm leaving."

The two of them left the cave and went their separate ways. Tangning returned to the house, sat down cross-legged, took out the black ball in her hand, and sighed slightly.

This thing is really a hot potato! If others knew that it was in his hands, he didn't know how much trouble he would cause.

The key is, what is it used for? I don’t even know.

Sima Nianzu and Qin Jin might have thought that the red cauldron contained a peerless treasure, but they certainly didn't expect it to be such a thing.

Is this a pill? Can it be eaten?

Tangning put it to her mouth and wanted to swallow it in one gulp.

After thinking for a long time, he finally put it away.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed by in the blink of an eye. On this day, he was practicing with his eyes closed in the room. There was a knock on the door, and then Gu Yuanya pushed the door open and walked in: "Master, Shaohui is here, waiting for you outside. !”

"Shaohui, why is he here?" Tangning's heart suddenly moved: "Go and invite him!"

"Okay." Gu Yuanya responded and left.

Not long after, Shao Hui came here with her.

"Juniors have met seniors."

"Shaohui, why are you here today, but what's the matter?"

"There is indeed something. Senior, don't you want to find the mentor of my wife, my wife, to refine the magic weapon? We have already met his old man, so we came to inform senior."

"Oh? I wonder where this senior Feng is now? Can you take me to see him?"

"He has settled in this city, and I have already told him about you."

"That's great, you wait here for me." Tangning stood up and walked a few steps, opened the door of the side room, and took out a simple stone box made of simple material from a cabinet. Inside was a shining golden thunder bamboo. , about four to five feet long and half a foot thick, with golden lightning jumping all over its body. It has been cultivated by his green spiritual power for thousands of years and has been in existence for thousands of years.

As soon as the stone box was opened, the powerful golden thunder light illuminated the dim room like daylight.

He took the stone box and left the alliance with Shao Hui. His spiritual power wrapped around him and he escaped to the southwest.

"Shaohui, you must have improved your knowledge of elixirs over the years following Senior Wen Tai!" While the two were walking, Tang Ning suddenly asked.

"Yes, my father-in-law travels all over the world and likes to collect books and ancient strategies about elixirs. He taught me many secret records of elixirs that were unknown before."

"I have something here that I want you to take care of, but you have to keep it a secret. I wonder if you can agree."

"no problem."

Tangning turned her hand over and handed the black ball to him: "Look, do you recognize this thing? Is it a type of elixir?"

Shao Hui took the black ball and looked at it repeatedly in his hand, looking at it again and again: "This... seems to be the ancient alchemy source."

"Ancient Alchemy Source? What is it?" Tang Ning frowned. He had never heard of this thing in all his years of alchemy.

Shao Hui said: "This junior is not sure. I have seen such records in an ancient book of elixir knowledge collected by my father-in-law."

"The ancient elixir source is an elixir refined using a special method. The refining of ordinary elixirs is mainly based on elixirs, and some special elixirs may also include demon elixirs."

"But the refining of the elixir is mainly based on blood essence and soul, plus special elixirs to fuse them."

"It is unheard of to use essence, blood and soul as the main material to refine it." Tangning hesitated: "Can this thing be absorbed by monks?"

"As long as it is an elixir, of course it can be absorbed. But I am not sure whether this is the source of the ancient elixir. I have only seen one page of relevant records in the ancient book. There are no graphics or other reference materials. It only says that the source of the ancient elixir is It looks like an elixir but has a large body, and its spiritual power is much stronger than ordinary elixirs."

"What is the function of this ancient alchemy source?"

"Generally used to break through the bottleneck of practice."

"I understand. You know this and I know it. Please don't reveal it to others."

"Yes, junior knows, senior, don't worry."
