Chronicles of Celestial Origins

After flying for three or four days in a row, Tangning arrived outside the cave in the Jingping Mountains. She shrunk and escaped underground. She stepped onto the stone steps and arrived in front of the blue light curtain.

He took out the array center with his left hand and fiddled with it a few times. The blue light screen twisted and then disappeared.

Tangning entered the cave and filled several storage bags with spiritual stones in the auxiliary room. She felt they were too heavy, so she put down two more, left the cave, and disappeared into the distance.

………………

In the city of Netherworld Valley, a monk wearing a black hat and black cloak walked into Baoxing Inn.

A female cultivator wearing the costume of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce came up to her. She caught the powerful spiritual pressure on her body and knew that she was a foundation-building cultivator. She said, "Senior, what can I do for you?"

The man said: "Who is the manager of your inn? I wonder if I can meet with you so that I can discuss something with you."

Upon hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment. She had never heard anyone make such a request in her many years here. Baoxing Inn was not a shop, and it had to be negotiated. What could be discussed.

"Senior, Baoxing Inn is under the direct control of Fang City. The owner of the inn is the head of Netherworld Valley Fang City. I wonder what you have to do, senior? Do you need me to convey it to you, junior?"

"This matter is not something that can be discussed with outsiders. Please inform your boss. I really have something important. I need to see your boss before I can speak."

"Senior, please wait a moment. I'll report it to you now," the woman said, walking towards the second floor of the attic.

This man who covered his body tightly was naturally Tang Ning. When he was in the Xuanyue Mountain Spiritual Mine, he had heard someone say that the Blood and Bone Sect Golden Pill monks who attacked the spirit mine at that time used it to carry the millions of spirit stones they plundered. They have all been replaced with high-grade spiritual stones, which are located in Duanjishanfang City.

Xingang does not have a large-scale spiritual mine and cannot produce high-grade spiritual stones. The shops in Xingang in Fang City do not have high-grade spiritual mines to exchange with him. So where did he get the high-grade spiritual stones? It must be Baoxing Chamber of Commerce. Only they can get so many high-grade spiritual stones.

Since Duanjishanfang City can do this kind of spiritual stone exchange business, he would not reject it if he wanted to come to Netherworld Valley City. Therefore, he found Baoxing Inn and wanted to talk to the owner of the hotel to see if he could exchange those low-grade spirit stones for Top grade spiritual stone.

There are only a few rooms on the fourth floor of the attic of Baoxing Chamber of Commerce, which are specially reserved for the cultivation of the foundation-building monks inside.

Wu Yingwu was sitting cross-legged in the meditation room, refining his Qi and practicing. He heard the clear ringing sound of wind chimes. He opened his eyes and stood up to open the stone door of the meditation room. He saw the female cultivator from his business association standing outside the door.

"What's up?"

"My lord, there is a foundation-building monk in the inn who wants to see you and says he has something important to discuss with you," the woman said.

Wu Yingwu frowned slightly. He had been transferred to this city and served as director for decades. Except for the important accounting affairs in the city, no monk had ever approached him for personal matters.

There are no shops under Baoxing in this city, and it has no business contacts with the outside world. If you want to add shops in the city, you have to have your own set of procedures.

"Who can he say he is? What is going on?"

"No, the man was wearing a hat and a cloak. His appearance was unclear. He didn't say who he was. He only said that he had something important to do and needed to see the adults."

"Then let him come!" Wu Yingwu said. Since this man pretends to be so mysterious and doesn't want others to know his identity, and he is sure that he has something important to do, it doesn't hurt to meet him.

The woman went down to the attic, led Tang Ning to the retreat room and exited.

Tang Ning opened the door and saw a man with ruddy face and white hair, swollen eyebrows and bright head sitting among them. His body exuded the fluctuations of spiritual pressure in the late stage of foundation building, so he bowed his head and said, "Sanren Tang Ru, I have met fellow Taoist Wu."

Wu Yingwu said calmly: "Fellow Taoist Tang, I heard that you have something important that you need to express in person. I don't know what it is?"

"I'm afraid only Friend Wu Dao can make the decision on this matter, so I'm going to take the liberty to ask if there are any high-grade spiritual stones in your city that can be replaced?"

"Oh? Fellow Taoist Tang needs to exchange for high-grade spiritual stones? I don't know how much it will cost?" Wu Yingwu did not answer directly, but asked instead

"To be honest with you Daoist Wu, I have about a million low-grade spiritual stones that need to be replaced. I hope they will all be replaced with high-grade spiritual stones."

"So many." Wu Yingwu's eyes lit up: "Fellow Taoist Tang, please take a seat."

Tangning followed his instructions and sat down opposite him.

"Fellow Taoist must also know that there is no high-grade spiritual stone produced in Xingang, and Netherworld Valley is a small market. If you want to replace it with a high-grade spiritual stone, you can still go to Duanji Mountain City. If you sincerely exchange it for a high-grade spiritual stone, I will I can take a trip for my fellow Taoist to get the spiritual stone from Duanji Mountain."

"It's just the cost! If you use a low-grade spiritual stone to replace a high-grade spiritual stone, according to the regulations of our chamber of commerce, 30% of the profit will be taken."

Tangning almost took a breath when she heard this. The Baoxing Chamber of Commerce was too shady. They wanted to take 30% of the income, which is equivalent to one million spiritual stones. They wanted to take 300,000. This business is comparable to Killing people and buying goods is much more cost-effective, and there is no risk at all.

Seeing that he was silent, Wu Yingwu knew that he was hesitating and calculating in his heart, so he said: "The rules of our chamber of commerce will not reveal where your Taoist spiritual stones come from or where they go, nor will you leak any information about your Taoist friends. This High-grade spiritual stones are rare goods in Xingang. It is reasonable for us to charge 30% if they are rare.”

"Fellow Taoist, don't look at the market price. Although a high-grade spiritual stone is worth 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones, no one will actually exchange a high-grade spiritual stone for 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Even if it is a private transaction, there will be an extra 10%. ”

"If you don't believe it, fellow Taoist, you can ask around. No matter where a lower-grade spiritual stone is replaced by a higher-grade spiritual stone, there will basically be a 20% replacement fee. The extra 10% we charge is just for some transportation costs."

Tang Ning knew in her heart that he was exaggerating. If the spirit stone replacement ratio was this high, it would be great. The ratio on the market would no longer be this high.

He thought for a long time, and was really reluctant to give away three hundred thousand spiritual stones for nothing, so he asked: "I wonder how much it costs to replace the middle-grade spiritual stones in Guifang City."

"If fellow Taoist people want to exchange it for a medium-grade spiritual stone, we will charge 20% of the profit."

Black, it's really too dark, but nowadays, people are just slaves and I'm fish, so I can only settle for the next best thing.

"Is there currently one million middle-grade spiritual stones to replace in your city?"

"Fellow Taoist Tang is determined to change to a middle-grade spirit stone? Don't you think about it anymore? The top-grade spirit stone is easy to carry and universal. If you change it to a middle-grade spirit stone, you will have to fill several storage bags. It will be too heavy for us. The monks’ travel will also have a big impact,” Wu Yingwu said.

Tang Ning was speechless and said as if middle-grade spiritual stones were not universally available: "Yes, I have been thinking about Zhou Xiang, but I wonder if there are many middle-grade spiritual stones available in the city?"

"There really aren't many of them in Netherworld Valley. If you are determined to exchange for middle-grade spiritual stones, I will send someone to Duanji Mountain to explain the situation and get some."

"Okay, I'll bother you, fellow Taoist. One million low-grade spiritual stones won't be transported in the next time. It will take some time." Tangning took out four storage bags from her waist and handed them to him: "These four storage bags There are 20,000 spirit stones in the bag. Please give fellow Taoist Quan a deposit for this transaction first, and I will take the rest of the spirit stones to Guifang City one after another."

Wu Yingwu nodded slightly and shouted: "Here comes someone."

The woman outside the door opened the door and came in, saluting: "My lord, what do you want me to do?"

"Go and invite deputy captain Yu."

"Yes." The woman responded and retreated. Not long after, a tall and burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came here and saluted Wu Yingwu: "Master Wu, you are looking for me."

Tang Ning saw that the man had also reached the middle stage of foundation building, but he was respectful to Wu Yingwu. He didn't know the internal hierarchy of the chamber of commerce, but he could see from the inside that the two men's attitude towards things was quite strict. .

"This fellow Taoist Tang wants to replace millions of low-grade spiritual stones with medium-grade spiritual stones. Let you handle this matter!" Wu Yingwu said: "Fellow Taoist Tang, this is our deputy team leader Yu Xun from Fang City. You can bring it to us later. Just ask him to deal with the spiritual stones. As for the 20,000 spiritual stones, we don’t have a deposit in Fangshi. Lieutenant Yu, please accept it first!”

"Yes." Yu Xun responded.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, Fellow Daoist Yu, please don't leak this matter," Tang Ning said.

"This is natural, fellow Taoist, please be at ease. The two of you can discuss the specific matters."

"Fellow Taoist Tang, why don't you go sit down in my retreat room, and we can discuss the remaining specific matters." Yu Xundao

Tang Ning nodded and said hello, followed him through a corridor and arrived at his retreat room, where they sat opposite each other.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, I wonder how long it will take to transport the millions of spiritual stones you mentioned to Netherworld Valley."

Tang Ning said: "To be honest, I'm all alone. I don't have any spiritual equipment to help with transportation. I rely entirely on manpower to move it. It takes about two or three months to get back and forth."

Yu Xun frowned: "Since it takes so long, how do fellow Taoists expect to complete the transaction?"

"I hope to exchange two hundred thousand spiritual stones for a batch of medium-grade spiritual stones."

"Then follow Taoist Fellow Taoist Tang's wish! The spiritual stones brought by Fellow Taoist can be sent directly to my retreat room. After accumulating 200,000, I can hand over the middle-grade spiritual stones to Fellow Taoist."

"Okay, I'll say goodbye first." Tangning stood up and left the city. When she saw no one around her, she shrunk and fled underground for more than a hundred miles. Then she appeared and flew into a deep mountain forest. He put away his hat and cloak, found some mountain spring water and took a bath with the herbs in his storage bag.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. After all, it is one million spirit stones. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a large sum? The demon sect monks planned a careful sneak attack on the spirit mine, killing and injuring so many disciples, and only plundered one million. Spiritual stone.

He has no relatives or connections with the people in the city, so he doesn't know that they will not be greedy for profit and follow him secretly.

After Tang Ning finished washing, the strong smell of herbs on her body was enough to drown out any odor. This way, she would not be afraid of being followed secretly, and she could safely return to the cave in the Jingping Mountains.
