Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Where did this thing come from? Tangning couldn't help but have this thought flash through her mind.

There is no doubt that this golden rhinoceros ant must have hatched from the eggs laid by the queen. Judging from its size, it must have been just born.

But why does it look like this? It doesn't even obey the queen's orders at all. This is not in line with the laws of the ant world!

All ants, bees, and social insects have a commander, no matter what species they are.

This golden rhinoceros ant actually disobeyed the queen's orders and even resorted to cannibalism, which was simply unheard of.

The black rhinoceros ant was bitten to death by the golden ant in a short time, and its body was being eaten bit by bit.

After about tea time, the black rhinoceros ant was devoured by it, leaving nothing to eat. It turned over and pounced on another rhinoceros ant.

The ants hurriedly avoided it, but Tang Ning couldn't stand by and watch it eat all the black ants that she had raised for many years. With a little touch in her hand, the spirit beast bag swelled in the wind.

He put his palm in, held the little thing between his two fingers, and took it out of the spirit beast bag.

A slight pain came, and it turned out that the golden ant was chewing on his finger.

Tang Ning held it in her hand and observed it carefully. She squeezed it gently and it didn't move at all.

Is this really hatched from a queen ant? It is very different from other rhinoceros ants. Its antennae are extremely long, its eyes are larger, its jaws are powerful, and it looks vicious.

The golden-armored ant refused to rest in his hand, struggling constantly and biting his fingers.

Tangning observed it for a while, then took out a golden box and placed it inside.

Then he lightly scratched his right hand with his left hand, and blood gushed out from his palm. He used the blood as a pen to draw a five-cornered array on the ground. He formed a seal with his hands and spurted out a stream of blood essence from his mouth. The five-cornered array emitted a faint light, and blood threads stretched from the ground, criss-crossed, and formed a three-dimensional five-cornered array.

This is exactly the blood sacrifice technique of the animal path in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Since he signed the contract with the ant queen, the hatched black ants no longer need to waste their energy and blood to sign one by one. They only need to convey the order to the queen, and the queen will control the little rhinoceros ants.

But this golden-armored ant did not obey the Queen's orders, so if you want to control it, you must use the blood sacrifice technique to re-sign the contract.

Even if he doesn't understand spiritual beasts and has poor vision, he can still see how extraordinary this golden ant is. Just because it can eat black ants that are several times larger than its body right after it is born, and even the queen ant has a slight interest in it. A trace of fear.

Obviously this thing is not comparable to ordinary rhino ants.

Fortunately, it was still young and had not been born for a long time, so she could forcefully sign a contract with it and make it obey her orders. Otherwise, Tangning would not know what to do with it.

The five-pointed formation of the Blood Sacrifice Technique was formed. Tang Ning took the gold box into his hand with a move of his hand. When he opened it, he saw that in just a moment, a large piece of the gold box had been eaten away.

Tang Ning held it in her hand and placed it in the center of the magic circle. She formed a seal with her hands, and the bloodshot threads rushed toward it, wrapping it tightly.

The golden-armored ant seemed to be struggling continuously, and the bloody threads wrapped around its body broke one by one.

After a long time, the golden-armored ant stopped moving. The blood-colored thread seeped into its small body, and the magic circle disappeared.

The golden-armored ant lay motionless on the ground, seemingly unconscious. Tangning threw it into a separate spirit animal bag and raised it.

In the next few dozen days, he was fed with essence and blood every day, and gradually developed a slight telepathic connection with him.

This little golden-armored ant will eat anything, and it is extremely ferocious and domineering. Sometimes if you throw in a magic weapon, it will make a loud gnawing sound. Metal, wood, and stones are all its food.

As long as it sees something in front of it, it will destroy it without hesitation.

Months passed in a flash.

On this day, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the wooden house. A ray of light came from outside, and a tall man appeared. He pushed the door open and walked in. He said, "Senior Brother Tang, Uncle Luo has summoned you to discuss matters."

Tang Ning nodded and said hello, stood up and left the wooden house, turned into light and left. Not long after walking, she arrived at the palace.

Luo Qingshui sat high on it, and Yin Qingyuan stood with his hands hanging below.

He stepped forward and bowed: "Disciple pays homage to Master."

Luo Qingshui waved his hand: "I have called you two here this time because there is something you need to do."

"Please give me your instructions, Uncle Master."

Luo Qingshui said: "A few days ago, the headmaster discussed with Shuiyun Sect and Qingyang Sect and decided to raise a group of spirit beasts, which are the spirit beasts of the Demon Sect specifically for sale."

"This matter has actually been discussed a long time ago, but it has never been finalized."

"After we defeated the Corpse Puppet Sect, we originally planned to take over their breeding industry, but in the end we only allowed the cultivating families to grow medicinal herbs and put aside the matter of breeding spiritual beasts. This time we finally decided."

"Since you want to breed spirit beasts, of course you have to have something to raise, so you have to go to the big islands in Qingdao. On the one hand, you can buy spirit beast cubs. On the other hand, you have to negotiate with those families and chambers of commerce to determine sales channels. "

"The master's intention is that you, the outstanding disciples of the younger generation, should follow you so that you can see the world and understand the vastness of the world."

"The two of you are familiar with the business dealings of spiritual beasts. After all, the sect will eventually be handed over to you in the future."

"The three are responsible for escorting and transporting the spirit beast cubs."

"This time, our sect will be led by Junior Brother Peng of Yuan Yidian. Shuiyun Sect and Qingyang Sect will also send personnel. The three sects will go to the Qinghai Islands to purchase spirit beast cubs and discuss sales channels."

Hearing his words, Tang Ning felt a little excited and eager to give it a try.

He has always longed for the vast world outside Xingang, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to go out and experience it. This time he was finally able to get his wish and see how vast the outside world is and how different it is from Xingang.

This time the three Xuanmen sects decided to breed spiritual beasts, and they undoubtedly learned from the Demonic Sect. To put it bluntly, they were jealous of their profits, so they wanted to do it themselves.

As far as he knew, the batch of spirit beasts that he intercepted and sold from the Youmei Sect were still being raised in the sect until now. This batch of spirit beasts could not be sold because there were no sales channels.

Xuanmen had never made up its mind to engage in spiritual animal breeding before. It felt that the Demon Sect could not last long and thought of wiping them out.

But now that the Demon Sect not only stood firm and shared half of the world with Xuanmen, but also made a splash, Xuanmen finally couldn't sit still.

Seeing that the Demon Sect's spiritual beast breeding business was getting bigger and bigger, and the money was being made every day, Xuanmen finally wanted to get a foot in the door and get a piece of the pie.

From this matter, it can also be seen that the attitude of Xuanmen's senior officials is that they are ready for a long-term struggle.

Yin Qingyuan asked: "I wonder how many disciples will be sent to escort this time? How many spiritual beast cubs are you planning to buy?"

Luo Qingshui said: "This time we mainly negotiate with those families and chambers of commerce to finalize sales channels. We plan to purchase 50,000 spirit beast cubs for each business first to see the effect. If they are good, we will breed them in large quantities. Therefore, we decided to only bring Ten capable disciples.”

Tang Ning asked: "Then the method of breeding spiritual beasts is the same as that of the Demon Sect. They are distributed to each family and we collect taxes."

"If we breed in large quantities, we will definitely need the assistance of the cultivating family, but the first batch should be cultivated by the sect itself."

Yin Qingyuan said: "I wonder how long it will take to go out to Xingang this time?"

Luo Qingshui said: "We can't say for sure. If everything goes well, it will take as long as three to five years before he can return to the sect."

Tang Ning and Yin Qingyuan couldn't help but look at each other, both of them were a little surprised. If it goes well, it will only last three to five years. What if it doesn't go well? Wouldn't it be ten or eight years?

Luo Qingshui said: "You have never been out of Xingang. You don't know how vast the world is outside. There are many islands separated by millions of sea miles. Fortunately, there are teleportation arrays connecting the islands. Otherwise, even with the speed of Yuanying monk's escape, you can't It would be impossible to cross the entire Qinghai without hundreds of years.”

"Your goal this time is to visit several islands near our new port. There is no need to go to those distant islands. The teleportation array is quite expensive. If so many people pass through the teleportation array, it will be financially unaffordable, so we can only Traveling by Aurora Boat takes some time on the road.”

"You can also take this opportunity to watch more and see what the world looks like outside Xingang."

Tang Ning had seen in an atlas that the entire Qinghai area was only about the size of a county in Qingzhou, and the islands only accounted for a small part of the Qinghai area, but even the Nascent Soul monks had to fly away for hundreds of years, so the interior of Qingzhou would be How vast is the entire Tianyuan! It's simply unimaginable.

Yin Qingyuan asked: "I wonder when the disciples will set off?"

"Three days later, you will gather at the Qianxing Hall of the sect. Junior Brother Peng will lead you to Wu Kingdom and go to Snake Island through the teleportation array there."

Tang Ning thought of another question: "If I take the Dharma boat when I leave, what will I do when I come back? Aren't we going to escort the spirit beasts? With people like us, how can we escort so many spirit beasts?"

Luo Qingshui said: "You don't have to worry about this. You only need to be responsible for escorting it from Duanji Mountain to here. There is a chamber of commerce outside that specifically undertakes the task of escorting this kind of material. Then, it will be escorted to Xingang Duanjishanfang City through the chamber of commerce."

Tangning blurted out: "Escort agency?"

Luo Qingshui smiled: "It's almost the same as the Escort Agency! It's just a different name. Its full name is Transportation and Goods Circulation Agency. There are such agencies on slightly larger islands, and they are usually controlled by the Chamber of Commerce. There are Some sects also do this kind of business."

Tangning was dumbfounded. He had never heard of such an organization before: "What do they do?"

Luo Qingshui said: "Of course he is responsible for the long-distance escort of materials. You must know that the world is vast. Take Qinghai as an example. Many places do not have teleportation arrays. But the distance between the two islands is far. If you want to fly from one island to the other, you need to repair it. It's okay for those with advanced skills, but what about monks with low cultivation levels? They may not be able to reach it even if they rely on their own flight speed."

"Therefore, transportation and goods circulation agencies were established to transport incoming goods and passengers. They have powerful transportation-type spiritual machines as transportation tools to escort goods."

"The teleportation array can only transport people or small items. If it is a large item, the teleportation array will not work. At this time, you need to rely on transportation of spiritual equipment."

"Our Xingang is remote and the sect is weak, so we don't have the use of those large spiritual weapons. We don't even have a few second-order Xuanqian crossbows. The war with the Demon Sect often depends on the individual monk's ability. As for the large sects outside, among them Most of the wars between countries rely on weapons and equipment.”

"You must have never seen the fourth-order spiritual weapon, the Magnet Cannon, which is hundreds of feet long and dozens of feet high. Even the Nascent Soul cultivator will be hated by one shot, let alone the fifth- and sixth-order spiritual weapons. For such a large spiritual weapon, the teleportation array cannot function, and it can only be transported by the spiritual weapon."
