Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Chang Jian was silent for a long time: "I will only give you the medicinal herbs, and you will give me the spiritual stones. I don't care about the rest."

Tang Ning took out the paper she had prepared and handed it to Chang Jian. On it was written the number of various herbs in his herb garden: "We are preparing to ship out a batch of goods in the next few days. Of course, I don't have that many spiritual stones for you right now. If you can trust me, senior brother, I will give you all the spiritual stones after selling this batch of medicinal herbs.”

Chang Jian took the paper, glanced at it and said, "They are all disciples of the Herbology Department. There is nothing I can't believe."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Chang Jian went down to the herb garden and soon picked the required herbs and put them all in a storage bag: "Junior Brother Tang, how much time do you need this time."

Tang Ning looked at the dazzling array of herbs in the storage bag and said, "It can take as little as two or three months, or as long as half a year."

In fact, he didn't know how long it would take for a shipment to go back and forth. His plan could be as short as two or three months, or as long as half a year. It all depends on the candidate Wu Datong is looking for.

After bidding farewell to Chang Jian, Tang Ning left Qingluan Peak and headed straight for Yuxiao Peak, where she began to lobby another Herbal Medicine disciple.

Within two days, all the Herbal Medicine disciples expressed their support for his approach and handed over the medicinal herbs, except for one person.

Fang Liting.

Tangning didn't dare to look for her.

He was not surprised to be able to convince everyone in the Herbal Medicine Department. The reason was simple. They had no reason to refuse. Is there any risk in this matter?

A little bit, but the risk is borne by Tang Ning and has nothing to do with them. Plus, the income can be doubled, so why not do it.

But Fang Liting was different. She was the apprentice of Deacon Ma Wen and the actual head of the Herb Department. She controlled the most important herb garden in the sect. Who knew if she had other ways, so she didn't dare to tell her.

Soon, the half-year period had arrived. As soon as the sky turned white, Tangning drove the purple gourd to the cliff of Laogu Peak. Not long after, Wu Datong arrived as promised.

"Junior Brother Tang, I've been waiting for a long time."

Tang Ning handed him the storage bags one by one. There were twelve storage bags in total, with more than 3,000 herbs of more than 100 types, and the price was about 12,000 spirit stones, including ten that he had catalyzed. pitaya.

Fortunately, the medicinal herbs are light in weight, and the more than three thousand beads of medicinal herbs are not heavy. If they were replaced by other objects, they would definitely not be able to carry them.

The storage bag is a space magic object, with three spaces inside. Although it looks light, the weight inside does not change.

"Senior Brother Wu, I have a suggestion. Divide these herbs into three parts and sell them to three people respectively to prevent any accidents. After all, it is not a small amount. If an accident occurs, I will be ruined, let alone the long-term future. of cooperation.”

"I know, but I don't think it's appropriate to split the shares into three and sell them separately. The fewer people who know about this, the better. If they are sold separately by three people, wouldn't the chance of an accident be greater? Don't worry, I found the one this time. He is absolutely reliable and has been a good friend of mine for many years. It was only because my mother died of illness that I was able to leave the sect and go home to worship. I will be back in ten months."

"Since Senior Brother Wu said so, I leave everything to you. But there is one thing I am really worried about. With so many medicinal herbs, unscrupulous people may be concerned about them when they are sold."

"To be honest, I'm also a little worried. We can't ask the foundation-building monks to help us sell it! Don't say we can't find it, even if we can find it, then the foundation-building monks are usually aloof, so how can they care about people like us? Cooperating with them is like seeking skin from a tiger. ”

"I can't guarantee anything else. This friend of mine has a mature and steady character, is not a frivolous person, and has a high level of cultivation. Unless he is coveted by a foundation-building monk, it will not be so easy to keep him. Otherwise, even if he is my friend for many years, I will not I will look for him, business is business, friends are friends, I know the difference clearly.”

Wu Datong said this, but Tangning had nothing to say and could only say: "I hope everything goes well!"

The two talked for a long time and then left.

As the days passed, people from the herb garden came to inquire about the situation from time to time. Tangning always smiled and replied that everything was under control and they would be back soon.

But in fact, he had no idea at all. Wu Datong said he would return in ten months. It has been three months and there has been no news.

There won't be any accidents! If that happened, he wouldn't be able to stay in the Herbology Department.

It is conceivable that everyone will not only blame him for messing up the matter, but also suspect that he deceived everyone and swallowed all the herbs alone.

As time went by, Tang Ning became unable to sit still and approached Wu Datong many times. Wu Datong responded every time that it should be fine and he would come in a few days.

He looked exactly the same as he was trying to deal with everyone in the Herbology Department.

Sometimes he would also wonder, could it be that the man ran away with the herbs, or that Wu Datong tricked him and stole the batch of herbs?

The only thing that gave him some peace of mind was that Wu Datong swore that the man had no accident and was at least alive because his Life Soul Stone was still on.

Everyone in the Herbal Medicine Department gradually criticized him. Inquiries turned into questions, and their tone became more and more impatient. Some people even asked him bluntly if things were screwed up. They didn't care if things were screwed up, and they had to give what was due.

Tang Ning felt more and more pressure on her heart. On that day, the sky was clear and sunny, cloudless, it was noon, and the sun was shining brightly.

"Junior Brother Tang, Junior Brother Tang." Wu Datong shouted outside the bamboo house.

Tang Ning hurried out of the bamboo house. Seeing the smile on Wu Datong's face, knowing that the matter was finally settled, she couldn't help but let out a heavy breath.

"Senior Brother Wu, are you back?"

"Not bad." Wu Datong nodded and handed him a storage bag: "This is yours. I sold a total of eleven thousand spiritual stones. He took two thousand two hundred, and I took two thousand two hundred. The remaining 6,400 spirit stones are all inside."

Tangning opened the storage bag and took a look. There were dozens of crystal clear stones inside. Different from ordinary spiritual stones, these stones were as clear as crystal and had a brown surface. "

He took out one, held it in his hand, and felt the surging spiritual power, which seemed to be gushing out. Compared with the low-grade spiritual stones he usually used, the spiritual content was as different as clouds and mud.

"Senior Brother Wu, is this the middle-grade spiritual stone?"

"Of course, otherwise how many storage bags would it take to hold so many spiritual stones."

Tang Ning looked into the storage bag and saw a total of sixty-four crystal clear brown spirit stones, not a few of them. In the spiritual world, spirit stones are the most basic trade currency. A medium-grade spirit stone is worth as much as One hundred low-grade spiritual stones, one high-grade spiritual stone is worth the same as one hundred medium-grade spiritual stones.

As for why the herbs worth about 12,000 were only sold for 11,000 spirit stones, Tang Ning was sensible and didn't ask much. To be fair, if he were replaced by the seller, it would be a bit more ambiguous. There is no need to get to the bottom of something innocuous. Peaceful.

"Senior Brother Wu, if you don't come here, I will be forced to death by all the senior brothers in Core. To tell you the truth, I have almost become a street rat these days. I am in constant panic every day. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. "

Wu Datong smiled and narrowed his eyes: "My friend acted cautiously and visited all the monasteries and markets in Chu State. He sold a little to each house and sold out more than 3,000 medicinal herbs on hand. , which delayed a lot of time. He originally planned to come back within three months, but the delay took nearly five months. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. "

Tangning nodded and said, "It's better to be cautious. As long as the sale goes smoothly, I'm not afraid to spend more time."

"Junior Brother Tang, when are you planning to ship out another batch of goods, so that I can prepare in advance and find suitable candidates."

"It can be as short as half a year, or as long as one year. I need to ask all the senior brothers to decide the date based on the conditions of their respective herb gardens. After all, herbs have their own growth cycle, and the sect must collect them regularly."

"I plan to ship goods once a year in the future. Apart from the herbs that need to be handed over, most of the rest will be sold at once. As for the candidates for sale, you have to worry more about them. They need to be people who keep their promises and their duties, and have high cultivation and good deeds. It’s best to be cautious. If we don’t find him, we’d rather wait a little longer.”

"Don't worry, leave this aspect to me. If I find a suitable candidate, I'll say hello to you."

"Okay, that's settled."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

After Wu Datong left, Tangning returned to the bamboo house and took out twenty-eight middle-grade spiritual stones from a storage bag.

He had calculated that he would take twenty-eight. He took 20% of the profit and added the value of ten dragon fruits. He should have taken thirty-two spiritual stones.

Because the seller had some corruption, Wu Datong might also have had a hand in it. Maybe the seller gave Wu Datong 11,500 spiritual stones, but Wu Datong himself was confused by 500 and told him that it was 11,000 spiritual stones.

Tang Ning felt that he should pay the bulk of the spiritual stones, so he took four fewer. After all, he had also deceived everyone in the Herbal Medicine Department. He said he would get 10% of the profit, but he actually got 20%.

All in all, this result should be considered a happy one. He drove the purple gourd to Qingluan Peak and handed a talisman inside. When he saw Tangning, who usually avoided him, coming to see him, Chang Jian guessed what was going on and hurriedly opened the door. Formation restrictions were imposed and he was welcomed out.

Tang Ning stepped into the medicinal grassland and saw Chang Jian coming from the front.

"Senior Brother Chang, this is yours." Tangning handed him a storage bag, which contained nine middle-grade spiritual stones. Chang Jian's herbs were the most valuable, so he got the most, a total of nine hundred spiritual stones.

Chang Jian opened the storage bag and saw nine crystal clear brown spirit stones. A rare smile appeared on his face: "I just said that Junior Brother Tang is not a person who breaks his word. They are all too impatient."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chang, for your trust. Without Senior Brother Chang's support, other senior brothers would not be so willing to agree to cooperate with me," Tang Ning said.

This is true. When he was lobbying people, he often used Chang Jian as an example and showed them the herbs Chang Jian handed over. Those who were hesitant immediately agreed. Everyone has a herd mentality. Even Chang Jian is like this, so he has nothing to worry about.
