Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Xu Qingwan smiled slightly: "Okay then! I'll try my best to save you some money. Even if you hide your wealth and make no progress, the long-term cost of elixirs may not last long!"

This is true. One hundred spiritual stones of the Strengthening Pill will give you more than 30,000 spiritual stones in a year. Even if you don't take the pills every day to practice, you will still have to spend more than 20,000 spiritual stones on the pills.

And his monthly salary is only one thousand spiritual stones, and the consumption of spiritual stones for the elixirs alone is enough to cover his income. It will definitely be unbearable in the long run.

Even if he has a net worth of millions, he will spend it all in just a few decades, and for a monk, decades are not a long time.

The only thing to blame is that he has low spiritual qualifications and only enjoys the lowest level salary of the sect. He has mid-to-lower spiritual qualifications and enjoys lower-level C-level resources.

If you switch to upper-level but lower-level spiritual root qualifications, you can enjoy lower-level B-level resources, then your salary can be doubled, which can almost cover the consumption of elixirs.

In the past ten years since he took charge of the intelligence station, he had spent two to three hundred thousand spiritual stones without realizing it.

In addition to his share of the elixir, there was also the cost of Little White Snake.

One Vitality Pill per day will give you eighteen thousand spiritual stones in a year.

Tang Ning's salary was so high that it could barely cover the cost of her own elixirs, and Little White Snake couldn't afford it.

"Of course it's better to save money, but you still have to spend what you should spend! Don't let the disciples say that you deprived them of their rewards and complain to me." Tang Ning said, "Oh, by the way, I'll tell you about your grandnephew. I have already told the sect’s envoy that he should go down the mountain! You should go back to the Xu family quickly and escort your grandnephew to the Luoyun Mountains to avoid anything happening.”

"Thank you Tang Xianshi."

There was silence in the room for a while. Tangning saw that she was sitting still and not talking, so she asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xu Qingwan hesitated for a while and then said: "Brother Zheng came to see me a few days ago."

This matter had been lingering in her mind for several days, and she didn't know how to deal with it. When she met Tangning, she felt a strong desire to talk to him and wanted to come up with an idea.

"I just heard what the disciple below said. I heard that you broke up in unhappiness?"

Tangning wasn't going to talk about this topic, mainly because there was already a lot of gossip between the two of them. If she paid too much attention to her personal affairs, especially the trivial matters between her and Zheng Wei, it would make people feel ill-intentioned.

But since she took the initiative to talk, it's always good to get to know her.

After all, there are two generals under his command, one is in charge of peripheral affairs and the other is in charge of finance. If there is a conflict and discord, it will definitely affect the work of the intelligence station.

But this possibility was close to non-existent. Even if she didn't say anything, Tangning could roughly guess what it was about. After all, it was just a matter of love between a man and a woman.

"It's not that serious. He... seems to be very concerned about the matter between you and me. He questioned us about our relationship. His mood was a bit wrong and his attitude was a bit impatient."

It seems that Zheng Wei is really anxious! Perhaps Xu Qingwan's smooth breakthrough to the middle stage of foundation building gave him great stimulation and made him feel the pressure. In fact, why bother! Luo Hua is deliberately ruthless, and stalking her like this is not an option.

Those who cannot get it will not get it no matter how hard they work. Not all efforts are rewarded. The word "love" has stopped many heroes in the world.

Tang Ning actually sympathized with Zheng Wei in her heart, but because of her sensitive status, she couldn't talk to him about this kind of thing. It might make people think that she was using her power to suppress her love rival!

"Then how did you answer him?"

"I said I had no intention of having an affair with my children, and I hoped he would be more open-minded, but he is still very stubborn."

Tangning smiled: "Your attitude is too ambiguous and gives him false hope. What do you think? I mean, what is your inner attitude towards Zheng Wei's obsessive pursuit?"

Xu Qingwan sighed quietly: "Over the years, I have become more and more afraid of seeing him. Every time I see him, I feel guilty and even want to escape. I don't know how to face him. I want to get rid of him. , but I'm afraid that if I say something harsh, it will hurt him too much. After all, he is really kind to me. I don't want the two of them to end up like life-and-death enemies."

Tang Ning said, "Then just tell him directly! It's not a problem to put it off all the time. Since you want to get rid of him so much, just tell him directly to prevent him from getting deeper into trouble."

Xu Qingwan was silent for a while: "What if he still refuses to change his mind?"

"Then what else can you do? You can't hold a knife to his neck and force him not to admire you! My fair lady, a gentleman is jealous. That is his right. Don't say that you are a woman who is not married, but you are married. "There's nothing you can do about her admiration." Tang Ning said in a bachelor's manner, "You just need to show your attitude and be firm."

"I understand. Thank you very much, Ambassador Tang. I'll take my leave." Xu Qingwan stood up and said

"Hey, don't say this is my idea for you!" Tang Ning warned her in particular, fearing that she might get dizzy and let herself out, even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"I understand." Xu Qingwan smiled slightly and left the room.

………………

At night, the lights in Xu's house were brightly lit, and a ray of light fell down, revealing the figure of a slim woman with a waist, fat butt, and it was none other than Xu Qingwan.

She set off from Qianjun Mountain and traveled for more than a day to Xu's house in South China. She saw that the entire house was surrounded by servants and guards, as if something big had happened.

She walked straight into the courtyard of old master Xu Ru and pushed open the door.

Xu Ru took his grandson Xu Qiyuan and sat aside, tapping his fingers on the desk. Xu Yanhua was walking back and forth in the hall, running around anxiously.

Seeing her arrival, the three of them were overjoyed as if they had seen a life-saving straw.

"Auntie, you're here." Xu Yanhua bowed his head.

Xu Qiyuan also knelt down and kowtowed, calling her aunt.

"What's wrong? I saw so many people holding open flames outside the house."

"Sister, you are here, we are all waiting for you. This afternoon, an immortal envoy from Qian Yizong came and handed Qi Yuan a sign. Can you see if it is this one?" Xu Ru stood up and came from He took out a black token from his chest.

"It's coming so soon." Xu Qingwan took the token: "Are you all ready?"

Xu Yanhua hurriedly handed her a large backpack behind him: "Food, water, and clothes are all in here."

Xu Qingwan frowned: "What do you want these things for? I mean, what else do you have to explain to him? If you join the Qianyi Sect, you may never leave the gate in your life."

"I've said everything that needs to be said. Sister, I hope you will take more care of this child for the sake of my father." Xu Ru said, unable to help but burst into tears.

"I can't take care of him. If he can transform smoothly, I will ask others to take care of him, but the key is to rely on himself." Xu Qingwan said: "Since you are all ready, I will take care of him now." He went."

After finishing his words, he waved his hand, and the spiritual power enveloped him and disappeared into light.

……………

Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the room, and suddenly his heart palpitated. He opened his eyes, picked up a spirit beast bag, and put his consciousness into it.

In the space of several square meters, a one-foot-long black rhinoceros ant was crawling on the ground. There were many golden, round particles in front of it. Its limbs and wings had long been broken, its head was helplessly hanging on the side, and there was nothing on its body. The breath is obviously dead.

Seeing this, Tang Ning sighed and moved towards the spirit beast bag, injecting spiritual power. The spirit beast bag swelled up in the wind and became a foot in size. A one foot large rhinoceros ant fell out from it. Tang Ning's hands After forming a seal, a fireball was formed, which hit the rhinoceros ant and burned its body.

The three winged female ants were conceived one after another. They first ate the corpse of the male ant that mated with them, then broke off their own wings and limbs and began to evolve into the queen ant.

Tang Ning placed them in separate spirit animal bags so that they could grow into queen ants without interference and give birth to their own black ant army.

This process seemed more difficult than he imagined. With the death of this mysterious ant, only the last of the three female ants remained.

He took out another spirit animal bag and looked into it with his spiritual consciousness. Inside, there was also a black rhinoceros ant crawling on the ground, eating the golden particles in front of him. It was the most well-developed among the three female ants. , now it is about two feet long.

Tang Ning remembered that the queen ant at the bottom of Changliu Lake was only three feet long and over a foot tall. In terms of size, the two were not far apart, but she didn't know whether she could successfully lay eggs and hatch the ant colony.

This was his last hope. If even this one could not successfully become a queen ant and produce a black ant army, then all his years of hard work would have been in vain.

You must know that he paid a heavy price for this rhinoceros ant, and even did not hesitate to offend Lu Xingxian, which led to him being suppressed and repeatedly stumbling on the funding of the intelligence station.

It was because of this incident that the two of them completely fell out against each other.

Seeing that the black-armored ants in the bag were eating deliciously, he finally felt relieved.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

Tangning put away the spirit beast bag and said, "Come in."

Xu Qingwan pushed the door open and walked in. Behind her was a child with pretty features. He opened his eyes wide and looked at everything here curiously. It was Xu Qiyuan.

"Fellow Daoist Xu is back," Tang Ning said.

The little white snake raised its huge head, spat out scarlet saliva, and made a harsh hiss at Xu Qiyuan.

Xu Qiyuan was so frightened that his face turned white, his hands and feet were stiff, and his whole body was trembling.

Seeing its vertical green eyes staring at him, as if it was about to swallow him whole, he burst into tears, took two steps back and leaned against the wall, shivering.

"Why are you crying?" Xu Qingwan frowned and scolded.

When Xu Qiyuan saw her angry, he stopped crying and sobbed quietly.

"I went to Xu's house the day before yesterday, and the messenger had already issued a token, so I picked him up. Thinking that there are still seven or eight months until July 15th next year, it would be unforeseen, so I wanted to take him with me and wait for the time. It’s close, and I’ll send it to the Luoyun Mountains. I’m here to report it to you.”

"Yeah." Tang Ning nodded. It's not a big deal to bring a child here, and he will join the Qianyi Sect immediately, so he can be regarded as half one of his own!

"Then I'll take him."
