Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Chapter 512: Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron

The disciples came to the main hall one after another, bowed and bowed, and then stood aside. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tang Ning said, "The department has just passed an internal resolution and passed the financial reform plan. From now on, all disciples who go out to perform tasks will , the captain will be rewarded with two hundred spirit stones, and the other disciples will be rewarded with one hundred spirit stones."

"If the task is successfully completed, an additional fund of three hundred spiritual stones will be given. If the task is not completed, no funds will be given. In addition, if the task assigned by the department is successfully completed three times in a row, five hundred spiritual stones will be rewarded."

"Specific financial regulations will be issued to each team in the next few days. If you have owed spiritual stone funds before, you can go to the Finance Hall to collect them now."

Everyone looked at each other, looked slightly happy, and said, "Yes."

Since the sect reduced its funding, their funding rewards have also been significantly reduced. It has been reduced by almost half in these years. This time it is equivalent to returning to the previous standard.

"In addition, according to the new regulations, disciples who go out to perform tasks must reach the late stage of Qi refining. Before reaching this stage, they can only stay in the sect to practice and deal with other matters."

"yes."

"You go! Wang Wentong, please stay for a while."

"Disciple, please leave." Everyone said, turned around and left the hall.

"Uncle, what are your orders?" Wang Wen said.

"The Beiyuan Eastern Intelligence Station found several people with suspicious identities. You will set off today to investigate their identities and their purpose."

"Yes." Wang Wentong responded and left.

When Lu Guang returned to the cave, Zhou Yingxue saw a strange look on his face. Knowing that the result of today's discussion must have failed, she comforted him softly: "Husband, there is no need to worry about it. You are the deacon after all. Even if you fail, it is not a big deal. I just tolerate him for a while." yes."

Lu Guang sighed slightly and had no words.

Ever since Zhang Yan passed away, he knew that he could no longer suppress Tang Ning, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. The new financial plan was forcibly passed through the internal resolution of the department, and the loss was not just a few spiritual stones.

According to the previous distribution plan, he could get 30,000 spiritual stones every year, but now he can only get 15,000 spiritual stones.

To be honest, his annual income was less than fifteen thousand spiritual stones. To be honest, it was not an unacceptable thing for him.

What really concerned him was that Tang Ning forcibly took the piece of meat from his hand. Such a situation had never happened in the Intelligence Department for so many years.

Obviously, there is a risk that he, the deacon, will be ignored. No, it is not just a risk. If he does not take action, he will soon be completely ignored.

………………………

In the middle of the remote mountains and forests in the Central Plains, a black eagle circled in the sky for several times and kept chirping. After hearing a whistle, the black eagle leaned over and plunged into the forest, falling next to a man in the forest. The dossier was spit out.

The man took the file and patted Xuan Ying's head, causing Xuan Ying to flap its wings.

In the basement room, Du Yuankai and Xu Qingwan were sitting opposite each other, talking about something, when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Du Yuankai said.

Xu Qiyuan pushed the door open, bowed and saluted, handed the file in his hand to Du Yuankai and said, "Uncle Master, this is urgent news that just came from the sect."

Du Yuankai took the file, opened it, and took a look.

"Envoy Du Xian, what happened?"

"Oh, it's nothing. This is a letter from Senior Brother Lu of our sect. The department is currently short of manpower and lacks a manager in charge of the specific affairs of the department. He hopes that I will go back and take over this position." Du Yuankai did not hide anything and said truthfully.

"Then who will be in charge of the intelligence station?"

Du Yuankai smiled: "Who knows? But I am indeed old and my life is short. It is time for me to return to the sect and enjoy my old age in peace."

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Qingwan left and returned to the room. Not long after, Xu Qiyuan came and saluted, "Auntie, what did you call me for?"

Xu Qingwan said: "Did anything happen to your sect recently?"

She has been in the intelligence station for so many years, and she knows a lot about the inside of Qian Yizong.

According to Du Yuankai, the file news just now only asked him to return to the sect to take over his position. For such an ordinary thing, an expedited file was actually used. Obviously there was another hidden reason behind this matter.

She was keenly aware that things were unusual.

Xu Qiyuan said suspiciously: "I haven't heard of any major incidents. The Demon Sect has been relatively quiet in recent years. At most, they have engaged in petty thefts and no major offensive measures."

"What about your department? Has anything happened recently?"

"Indeed I haven't heard of it."

"Go and inquire again and tell me when you come back."

"Yes." Xu Qiyuan retreated in response.

………………………

Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the cave, and the storage bag on his waist suddenly shook. He took out the formation plate a little, put the talisman into his hand, poured his spiritual consciousness, and a man's voice sounded in his mind.

With a suspicious look on his face, he put away the fairy mother-of-pearl clam and left the room in a flash.

Outside the thick fog, there stood a tall, broad man, Yang Chang, Luo Qingshui's second disciple.

Tang Ning suddenly fell in front of him and said, "Junior Brother Yang, why do you have time to come to my place today?"

"I have nothing to do, so I came here to chat with Senior Brother Tang."

"Please come in quickly." The two of them entered the inner room and sat opposite each other. Tangning turned her left hand, took out a jar of wine, and poured two glasses for them: "This is the wine I sent to Wangxichuan Pavilion when I was in Qinchuan in the early years. My spiritual wine is not as good as the ones collected by Master Luo, and I don’t have the luxury of serving them in this humble house. If Junior Brother Yang doesn’t mind, just try to moisten your mouth!”

"What did Senior Brother Tang say? I rarely taste the spiritual wine that my master has collected. I feel deeply grateful to be treated with this wine by Senior Brother Tang."

The two drank from their glasses.

Yang Chang said: "Actually, I have wanted to visit Senior Brother Tang for a long time, but I have never been free. Today I have nothing to do, so I took the liberty to bother you."

"Junior Brother Yang's coming to Humble House will bring glory to our house! Let's get drunk before resting today."

The two poured wine and drank a few more glasses.

Yang Chang said: "I heard that Senior Brother Tang has been obsessed with alchemy recently, and his level is quite high. Even the Alchemy Department looks at you with special eyes. I also heard that you sell more than 100,000 spirit stones of the Alchemy Department's Vitality Pills in one year. I'm really envious. It's a shame, but it's a pity that I don't need it. We have agreed that if Senior Brother Tang refines the Strengthening Pill in the future, I will also benefit from it. "

"It's easy to say. I will send it to Junior Brother Yang personally when the time comes."

"Then I'll thank Senior Brother Tang first."

While the two were pushing cups and changing cups, Yang Chang suddenly said: "I heard that Senior Brother Tang has been implementing the financial reform of the department recently, and he has been very unhappy with Lu Guang. Is this true?"

Tang Ning was slightly shocked. This kind of trivial matter should not have reached Yang Chang's ears. How could he know about the secret academy in Qingxuan Hall?

Since Yang Chang knows it, it means that Shi Mingsui, Luo Qingshui and others may also know it. And Yang Chang is most likely here on behalf of Luo Qingshui.

His expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. How does Senior Brother Yang know about this?"

"Not only do I know about it, even my master has heard about it."

"What instructions does Uncle Luo have?"

"He said you did a good job, don't worry about other things, just go and do it."

Tang Ning said: "Thank you for your support, uncle. To be honest, if it weren't for the drastic reduction in departmental funding, which made operations unsustainable, I wouldn't be so anxious to launch a financial reform plan. There was a lot of resistance to this matter, and Lu Guang was very unhappy. I agreed to this plan. I had to use the supervisory decision-making power to reluctantly pass the case."

Yang Chang said: "Of course he is unwilling, and anyone else would be unhappy. A few days ago, he proposed to the sect to transfer Du Yuankai back to the sect and send Zhao Liheng to be the director of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station. Does Senior Brother Tang know about this?"

Tang Ning suddenly understood. No wonder Yang Chang knew about this. He was appointed as the commander of the Qingxuan Hall, and Lu Guang could not avoid the commander of the mission no matter what.

Yang Chang must have known about the recent events in the Intelligence Department because of this, and perhaps he also informed Luo Qingshui.

Lu Guang's move was to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron! He knew that if he proposed it within the ministry, he would definitely encounter opposition and would definitely fail.

Therefore, he secretly submitted a report to the sect and transferred Zhao Liheng directly through the appointment of Qingxuan Palace.

Lu Xingxian also used this trick to transfer himself to the Silver Fox Intelligence Station, thus defeating Qin Gang's plan.

But things are different now. Now that Luo Qingshui has been promoted to head teacher, and his disciples have been transferred to other positions, he has been able to intervene and speak.

Furthermore, Zhao Liheng was only at the initial stage of foundation building. If he wanted to transfer the director of the intelligence station from outside, his cultivation level would appear to be slightly low.

The Silver Fox Intelligence Station now has two Foundation Establishment casual cultivators as managers, and Xu Qingwan is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. If he sends an early Foundation Establishment cultivator there, the superiors will be worried that he will not be able to control the people below and affect the efficiency of the intelligence station.

Lu Guang was still a little anxious. The possibility of this appointment being passed was very small. Yang Chang came to see him and already made his attitude clear.

Tang Ning said: "I don't know about this, but he is the head of the department. It is his right to request transfer from the sect. Even if I know, I can't stop him."

Yang Chang said: "This appointment has been rejected by the headquarters. Senior brother Tang can do his best and don't worry about anything else. If there is any action from Lu Guang, I will inform you."

"Thank you, Junior Brother Yang."

The two talked and drank for a long time, and Yang Chang left.

………………

In the basement of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station, Xu Qingwan was sitting cross-legged on a futon. There was a knock on the door outside. Yin Zhirou got up and opened the room, welcoming Xu Qiyuan into the inner room.

"Qiyuan, what's the matter?" Xu Qingwan opened her eyes and asked.

Xu Qiyuan saluted and said: "I have heard some news in the past few days and came here to report it to my aunt. A few months ago, during a meeting of the Ministry, Master Tang and Master Lu had serious differences of opinion."

"Uncle Tang used the decision-making power of supervision and forcibly passed the financial reform plan he formulated for the department. I heard that Uncle Lu walked away on the spot. Now many people in the department are talking about this matter."

"I think the urgent dossier sent a few days ago may be for this matter."
