Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The strong and fragrant aroma of medicine filled the entire alchemy room. After five or six attempts, all of which failed, a half-red and half-purple elixir was spat out from the dragon's mouth under the alchemy cauldron before it fell into the wooden box. Tang Ning grabbed it and held it in her hand.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, how is the spiritual power of this elixir integrated?" Wen Taiyi asked expectantly from the side, with excitement and a little nervousness. Obviously he was not sure, and the several failed experiences just now made him feel... It's a huge frustration. Every time you use this raw material, you lose one part. It really can't withstand consumption.

"Very good, Fellow Daoist Wen, congratulations on successfully refining the spirit-boosting pill." Tang Ning smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"Great, we finally succeeded." Wen Tai breathed a long sigh of relief: "If I fail again, I won't be able to face the trust of fellow Taoists. I wasted so many materials to successfully refine one, and I feel guilty. !”

"Fellow Taoist, you don't have to take it to heart. There is no reason why you can succeed just by refining it. Being able to do it to this extent shows how exquisite your skills are."

"I want to rest for a while to avoid making another mistake and wasting the elixir." Wen Tai said, sitting down cross-legged, staring at the alchemy cauldron as if reminiscing about the refining process, and then slowly closed his eyes for a while.

Tang Ning held the elixir in her hand and was overjoyed. Facts have proved that his decision was right and his judgment of people was quite accurate. Wen Tai's success in refining the elixir so quickly was beyond his expectation. .

Under normal circumstances, when an alchemist refines a new elixir, there is always a trial and error process. Sometimes refining dozens of times may not lead to success, and waste is inevitable.

Looking at the entire Tianyuan cultivation world, there are very few people who have experience in refining spirit-boosting pills. Nothing is perfect. Wen Tai can be said to be quite good if he can do this.

His requirements are not high. It would be good if he could refine fifty soul-boosting pills. He doesn't dare to ask for more.

Wen Tai rested for most of the day. When he opened his eyes again, he was full of energy and his eyes were a little more confident. He stood up calmly and continued to refine the elixir.

However, things did not go as expected. His full confidence soon encountered a cruel setback in reality. Four raw materials in a row had failed. Seeing that he was in a hurry and had no confidence and calm demeanor, Tang Ning quickly persuaded him. Stay and advise him to rest for a while and calm down.

Fortunately, after resting for a while, the fifth elixir was finally successfully refined.

Since then, Wen Tai seemed to have found his hand, and his refining efficiency was getting higher and higher.

While refining the elixir, both of them were concentrating on it. Even Tang Ning was watching nervously, not slacking off at all.

Time passed unconsciously in the dim room until the Snake Spirit Fruit, Blood Essence Pu, Green Lotus Fruit, and Blood Python branches were used up, and a total of sixty-five Spirit Replenishing Pills were refined.

As agreed before, Wen Tai took ten pills and the two left the alchemy room. The sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle. Tangning slightly squinted her eyes and looked at the clear blue sky and white clouds, feeling very comfortable.

…

Heavy rain poured down and dark clouds covered the moon. In the remote mountains of Changshan County, a ray of light shot down, revealing the figure of a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He glanced around, then entered the cave and bowed to the burly man sitting cross-legged. He bowed and said, "Master Yun Lian, I have just received news that Tang Ning has gone to Pingyuan County to take up a post at the enemy's headquarters."

"What? He went to Pingyuan County?" Yun Lian's eyes widened and he was furious.

After receiving the imperial edict personally conveyed by King Qingjiao, he rushed from Beihai County to Changshan County non-stop. Because he was temporarily confused about where Tangning was hiding, he contacted the personnel in charge of intelligence in the Mubei Allied Forces. With the help of other personnel, it was determined that Tang Ning had hid at the base of the 10th Army Corps of the Qingzhou Allied Forces.

There were so many experts stationed in the Tenth Army, and there was a large formation covering them. With his own strength, he had no choice but to lie low, waiting for the opportunity, and wait until Mubei intelligence personnel confirmed Tangning's movements before taking action.

"Yes, my subordinates have received information from insiders of the Qingzhou Alliance Army and have determined that Tang Ning has left Changshan County and gone to Pingyuan County."

"When did this happen?"

"If we count from the day he left, more than seven months have passed."

Yun Lian yelled angrily: "I've been away for more than half a year, and I haven't sent any news until now. What do you people do for a living?"

"The subordinates are incompetent. The headquarters does not have an informant lurking within the Tenth Army, so we don't know that he has left Changshan County long ago."

"How did he leave the Tenth Legion station? Aren't our people watching nearby? Didn't they even notice that he left there?"

"My subordinates don't know. Although our people are watching the Tenth Army's station, they don't dare to get too close. They can only ambush and observe from a distance. If we get close to the station for investigation, once they are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous. You will also be exposed.”

"You don't know anything. You are just a bunch of trash. What use do you have? Let me tell you, if you fail to fulfill the instructions of the ancestor and the ancestor blames you, I will have to skin you first."

When the man heard this, he knelt down in fear and said, "I will do my best to fulfill your instructions."

"Where did you get the news that he went to serve at the enemy's headquarters in Pingyuan County?"

"The news came from the inside line we planted at the enemy's headquarters. Because the two places are too far apart, half a year has passed by the time the news reaches here."

Yun Lian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tangning has now gone to work at the enemy headquarters in Pingyuan County. It is not a bad thing for us. At least the enemy headquarters has our inside information, so we can keep track of his movements. In this way, we Go to Pingyuan County immediately and call out the enemy insider. I will interview him personally. "

"This..." The man looked confused and hesitated to speak.

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Your Excellency, the enemy's command post is of a very high level, and he is not a member of our line. At present, we don't know who this person is and cannot summon him out."

"Didn't he deliver the news to you? Why don't you even know the identity of this person?"

"As far as my subordinates know, this person is an informant arranged by Lord Kong Lin within the enemy army, and he only takes orders from Lord Kong Lin. He reported this information to the Griffin Tribe, and the Griffin Tribe passed it on to us. This person’s identity is highly confidential, and the Griffin Clan will definitely not inform us of his identity unless approved by Lord Kong Lin.”

"I will report this matter to Lord Kong Lin. You should contact the Griffin Tribe immediately and ask for their cooperation."

"yes."

…

Pingyuan County, Allied Forces Command Headquarters, Tang Ning returned to the cave, sat down cross-legged, turned his hand over, took out a fiery red gourd, swallowed the half-red and half-purple spirit-boosting pill in his belly, and in an instant, the huge spirit Pure spiritual power fills the internal organs, circulates continuously along the whole body, and finally returns to the Linghai point.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and let out a breath. The newly refined spirit-replenishing pill was the same as the one he got there that day, but now that his cultivation had broken through the middle stage of the Void Refining, the spiritual power in his body needed to be increased. Large, the effect is naturally not as good as before. Fortunately, sixty-five of them were refined this time. Apart from the reward given to Wen Tai and the six promised to Xiao Zhan, the remaining forty-five are enough for him to practice to It’s the late stage of refining the void.

He swallowed the spirit-boosting pills one after another, and the spiritual power in his body continued to surge. I don't know how long it took, but the spiritual power in the Linghai Cave finally stopped growing, like a bottle cap blocking the mouth of the bottle.

At this time, there were still twenty-two healing pills in the gourd. Tang Ning put them away and planned to give them to Liu Ruhan in Changshan County one day.

At night, he left the cave and was about to leave when a ray of light came from a distance and a tall woman appeared. She bowed to him and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Master Tang."

"Why are you? Could it be that my wife's mentor has arrived at the headquarters?" Tang Ning asked after realizing that she was Nangong Muxue's disciple.

"Disciple, it is on the orders of Master Nangong's uncle that I invite you to come and meet me."

"Take me there quickly." Tangning also wanted to meet Nangong Muxue and talk to her about what happened during this period, but she didn't have the chance. She didn't expect that she would return to the headquarters, so naturally she didn't want to meet her.

The two of them jumped into the sky and arrived at Nangong Muxue's cave soon. When they opened the stone door, Nangong Muxue was sitting in the main seat, obviously waiting for him.

"Disciple pays homage to my uncle." Tang Ning bowed and saluted.

Nangong Muxue glanced at him with a strange look in her eyes: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and your cultivation level has improved a lot."

"It's all thanks to your great blessing."

Nangong Muxue did not question the matter about his sudden increase in cultivation: "I already know about your participation in the merchant alliance expedition team. Since the matter has been decided, don't think too much about it and complete the tasks assigned by the sect." yes."

"Disciple heard that it was Palace Master Han who personally named the disciple and asked him to go to the Merchant Alliance Expeditionary Force. Is this true?" Nangong Muxue's words showed that she knew all the causes and consequences. Tangning would not let it go from her. Opportunities for insider information.

"According to intelligence information, in order to avenge you for killing the royal grandson, the Qingjiao Clan has sent the Great Fusion Demon to hunt you down. After Senior Brother Han learns about this, you will be assassinated by the Qingjiao Clan and lose your reputation in the coalition. Therefore, you will be You were recalled from the Tenth Legion. The Merchant Alliance is setting up an expeditionary team and needs to send manpower from our sect, so I will transfer you there."

This was exactly the same as what Yuan Tan said. It was a formulaic answer. Of course, Tangning did not expect Nangong Muxue to comment on Han Siyuan's personnel arrangement, which was obviously vindictive. (End of chapter)
