Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Shen Lian had a look of shame on his face and a bitter taste in his mouth: "Senior Brother, you must not take this seriously. Tang... If Senior Uncle Tang wants to find Senior Uncle Shen, he should go to the alchemy room. Senior Uncle Shen usually makes alchemy there."

Tang Ning had been in the Herbal Medicine Department for decades and had many contacts with everyone in the Alchemy Department. Most of them were acquaintances. However, she had never met the Foundation Establishment Monk in person. At most, she only heard about it from others.

"Senior Brother Shen, you and I have known each other for decades, why do you care about this mere title? I have already been to the sect's alchemy room. Senior Brother Kexu of your department left the alchemy room yesterday, so I want to trouble you to take me to his practice. Cave."

"In that case, please come with me!" Shen Lian said, flying away with his flying sword, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Thinking back when they first met, Tang Ning was just a fifth-level Qi Refining disciple, and at that time he was already a seventh-level Qi Refining monk. Now that Tang Ning has successfully established the foundation, he is still stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Really? It can be said that fate plays tricks on people.

Tang Ning followed, and about half a quarter of an hour later, she arrived in front of the cave door.

Shen Lian said: "This is Master Xu's cave."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Shen."

Shen Lian smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, did not answer, and left with Fei Jian.

Tang Ning waved his hand, and the telegraph flew through the thick fog into his cave. Not long after, a round-faced man walked out of the cave.

"Senior Brother Xu, I'm Tangning from the Intelligence Department. I'd like to ask you something. I heard that Senior Brother Xu is very good at refining alchemy. I want to buy some Vitality Pills from him to help me practice. I hope that Senior Brother will give me some." Tang Ning took the initiative and said.

Xu Wenyuan smiled and said: "Junior Brother Tang, you're welcome. Let's deal fairly. You give me the spirit stone and I deliver it. It's not a gift. I don't know how many Vitality Pills Junior Brother needs."

"Well, just give me twelve bottles first!"

Xu Wenyuan's eyes lit up, and he never thought that this monk from the Intelligence Department, who had never been masked and had never been masked, turned out to be a small rich man. He said with a smile: "Junior Brother Tang, please come with me! "

The two of them entered the inner room one after the other.

"When did Junior Brother Tang build the foundation? It should not be long ago!"

"Yes, I just built the foundation a few days ago."

Xu Wenyuan took out twelve small black porcelain bottles from the cabinet in his main room and handed them to him: "This is my spare elixir. Since Junior Brother Tang is here, I will save you from a wasted trip. Junior Brother, I will come back next time." If you want to buy Vitality Pills, you can go to Xiuyuan Peak, where there is a wooden house with a sign that sells Foundation Establishment Monk Pills."

"Also, if junior brother needs spiritual weapons, formations, spiritual talismans, etc., he can also buy them on the mountain. There are several shops there that specialize in selling the things we foundation-building monks need. It can be regarded as a small market!"

"Oh? I didn't know that." Tangning took the porcelain bottle and randomly checked a few bottles. Seeing that each bottle contained thirty pills, she took out two high-grade spiritual stones from the storage bag.

Xu Wenyuan took the spirit stone and exclaimed in surprise: "Hey! High-grade spirit stones, this is rare. Our Xingang Spirit Mine does not produce high-grade spirit stones."

Tangning didn't expect this, so she didn't hide anything at the moment, and said truthfully: "This is a gift from my wife. She is originally from Xingang, and due to fate, it was accepted by a mysterious sect from outside. This spiritual stone was given to me by her a few years ago." Left behind when Xingang was looking for me.”

"Junior Brother Tang is such a blessed person!" Xu Wenyuan looked at him with envy after hearing this, as if he were looking at a pretty boy who was just eating soft food, which made Tang Ning feel a little unnatural.

The two chatted for a while, then Tang Ning put away the elixir and left.

The gap between every major realm in the world of cultivation is an insurmountable gap between heaven and earth. Although there is only a thin line between the foundation building period and the perfection of Qi refining, the difference cannot be recorded in terms of Tao.

The spiritual power in the body of the Qi Refining Disciple still exists in the form of Qi, while the spiritual power in the Foundation Establishment Monk's body has been sublimated into liquid. The difference in spiritual power between the two is like the difference between a river and the sea.

Therefore, the spiritual power contained in the second-level elixir is greater than that of the first-level elixir, and the difference between them is also huge.

Therefore, there is also a huge disparity in price between the two.

The Wanling Pill only requires ten spiritual stones, but the Vitality Pill requires fifty spiritual stones. This is still within the sect. If it is in major cities, it cannot be obtained without sixty spiritual stones.

And elixirs are an indispensable cultivation resource for monks. Monks cannot do without elixirs during their practice. No matter how tight they are, they have to squeeze out some blood to buy elixirs. Otherwise, they can just absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refine them. The effect of four years may not be as good as the effect of taking elixirs for one year.

The reason why Tang Ning can stand out among her peers in the sect and catch up from behind is that her financial resources are an indispensable part.

The strength of a sect mainly depends on its financial resources. Disciples of those large sects generally go further in their spiritual practice than those of smaller sects. The reason for this is not only their own qualifications, but more importantly, their financial resources. There is a lack of elixirs, talismans, magical instruments and other cultivation resources.

Take Qian Yizong as an example. After Tangning was promoted to Foundation Establishment, his monthly salary increased to five hundred spirit stones, and he had nothing else. What could five hundred spirit stones do? There are only ten vitality pills, which can't even supply the most basic cultivation pills. How can you compete with the disciples of those big sects?

Not to mention that there are many other expenses besides elixirs to practice a religion.

He didn't know about other sects, but he knew a thing or two about Taixuan Sect where Liu Ruhan belonged.

The monthly practice elixirs for all disciples below the Golden elixir level are provided free of charge.

Foundation-building monks can receive a minimum monthly salary of five thousand spirit stones, plus additional subsidies from departments.

All disciples will be given a high-grade spiritual weapon, several spiritual talismans, and a set of formations as soon as they establish a foundation.

After he established the foundation, the only spiritual weapon, the Cangmu Ruler, was awarded as a quota reward when he was still a little bit.

After returning to the cave, Tang Ning set up a small cloud and mist array around it. She worked hard for several hours. The altar and hubs were well-built. After placing the spiritual stones, the small cloud and mist array came into play.

A steady stream of clouds and mist formed on the formation, shrouding the surroundings of the cave.

The sect is relatively safe, so no one will arrange a killing formation. At most, they will set up an illusion formation around the cave. For example, Lu Xingxian and Kong Fanxing also have cloud and mist formations around their caves.

It is mainly used to remind others that this is private territory and please take a detour. Any place shrouded in mist within the sect is the location of someone else's cave.

Three days later, Tang Ning was meditating in the cave. Suddenly, the central array disk in the storage bag on his waist trembled. He opened his eyes and took out a little of the array disk, took the transmission talisman into his hand, injected spiritual power into the talisman, and heard a man The voice rang in my mind: Chen Lin, the direct director of the Secret Academy, paid a visit.

Shouldn't the people directly under the Secret Academy's department go to Lu Xingxian if there's anything they need to do? What are you looking for?

Tang Ning was a little confused. When she left the cave, she saw a tall man with a thick beard waiting at the door.

"Senior Brother Chen, I don't know if I can come to the shelter to ask for advice?"

"I learned that Junior Brother Tang successfully established the foundation, and the Secret Academy sent him a set of training techniques." Chen Lin took out a note and handed it to Tang Ning. It read: Tang Ning, a disciple of the Intelligence Department, has extraordinary talents and tireless practice. You can go to the second floor of the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion to choose a practice method.

The seal of the Secret Academy is stamped below.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen."

"You're welcome, Junior Brother Tang." Chen Lin took out a storage bag and said, "This is your salary for this year and I have brought it with you. I will go to the courtyard to collect it later."

"Thank you."

After Chen Lin finished explaining, she turned into light and left. Tang Ning looked at the article in his hand, thought for a moment, and then left the cave and came to the Zongmen Scripture Collection Pavilion.

When the disciples who were on duty inside saw him, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle Master, I don't know if I have anything to say."

"This is the rule of the Secret Academy."

"Uncle, please."

Tang Ning walked towards the second floor. Halfway there, she suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked, "Is there a secret recipe for elixirs in this Scripture-Depository Pavilion?"

"Yes, uncle."

"Please look for it for me. I want all the prescriptions. I'll come downstairs to get them later."

"yes."

As Tang Ning crossed the last stone step, her eyes suddenly opened up, as if she had passed through a curtain of water.

He had been here once before and knew it was a space magic circle, so he wasn't too surprised.

You can't see the end of Nuo Tripitaka Pavilion at a glance, and there are only two or three figures shaking in the room.

He came to a row of bookstores and flipped through the classics. There were a dazzling array of various exercises in the bookstores. After choosing for half a day, there was nothing he particularly liked. Each exercise has its own merits.

It wasn't until he came to a bookstore marked with a single ancient book and opened a book called Shenyouyizhuanjue that he felt quite satisfied.

When I opened the first chapter of this exercise, I saw what was written above.

All living things in heaven and earth are transformed into yin and yang, and divided into male and female. The male carries yin and faces yang, and the female carries yang and faces yin...

In one thought, he can travel thousands of miles in an instant, ride on the clouds and reach the sky, and follow the destiny, upstream to the Gate of Freedom, downstream to the Wilderness of Nine Heavens, and back and forth to Wuji.

This book is a book about the art of cultivating spiritual consciousness, which can strengthen spiritual consciousness.

In the world of spiritual practice, most of them focus on magical powers and techniques, and there are relatively few techniques for cultivating spiritual consciousness. This is the first time that Tang Ning has read a book about cultivating spiritual consciousness during his two visits here.

Although this fugue one-turn decision is good, there is a fatal problem. It is not complete.

This technique only contains the first three levels of exercises, each level corresponds to a realm. It only describes the cultivation methods to reach the realm of golden elixir, but not the rest.

Logically speaking, it is enough for the current Tang Ning.

But what to do next? At that time, it will not be easy to switch to other methods of spiritual consciousness. Monks can choose a variety of techniques to practice, but generally they can only choose one method.

The main reason is that there is not so much time to focus on the two skills. The skills become more and more profound as the cultivation level increases.
