Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Zhuang Xingan frowned slightly: "Ten disciples, divided into four teams, need forty people. I'm afraid the Alchemy Department doesn't have that many skilled disciples."

Tang Ning said: "Everyone does not need to be skilled in skills. It only needs to be taught the most basic skills. As long as you have the ability to refine Qi Condensing Pills, it is enough."

Zhuang Xinqian said: "What about this year's mission? Everyone in the elixirs, weapons, talismans, and formation flags have taken turns to teach the disciples of other departments. Whoever completes the mission assigned to them by the sect."

Tang Ning said: "Then we have to work hard for the disciples of these departments and use three months to teach the other disciples of the sect skills in rotation, and then spend another three months to complete the sect's tasks. Of course, they can also teach other disciples." Disciples use their skills to refine elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, and formations to complete the sect's mission."

Zhuang Xinqian said: "Currently, the sect only has fifty alchemy rooms. We have to teach other disciples and refine elixirs, so it is simply not enough."

Tang Ning pondered: "Can the sect expand our elixir room?"

Luo Qingshui said: "I'm afraid this won't work. This fire vein was established by the founder of our sect. It has only been repaired occasionally for thousands of years. This involves a very complicated problem of fire blending, which needs to be solved by professionals from the Chamber of Commerce. , which is another huge expense.”

Tang Ning said: "In this case, we can only plan the corresponding time period and set aside three months every year for the disciples of the Alchemy Department to refine the elixirs and complete the sect's tasks."

Zhuang Xinqian said: "I'm afraid this won't work. In addition to completing the sect's tasks, they usually have to refine elixirs in private to earn some spiritual stones, or improve their skills. Now if all the elixir rooms are occupied by other disciples, only the remaining No one would be happy to give them three months to refine the elixir and hand it over to the sect.”

Tang Ning muttered: "Let's do this! In addition to giving it to the Alchemy Department to refine the elixirs during the three-month gap every year, we will also set aside twenty alchemy rooms for the disciples of the Alchemy Department, and only use the other thirty. I’m going to teach other disciples of the sect in the alchemy room, what do you think, Senior Brother Zhuang?”

Zhuang Xinqian said: "I'm afraid that the disciples of the Alchemy Department will not be happy. They originally needed three months to complete the sect's tasks, and now they have to teach other disciples how to refine alchemy for another three months. This not only takes up a lot of their time, but also occupies In some alchemy rooms, if they are not willing to teach with all their heart, there will only be a few people who can become self-taught, but they will still be in vain after all their efforts."

Tangning remained silent, and Luo Qingshui said: "As the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you should talk to them several times and tell them to focus on the overall situation and not worry too much about personal gains and losses. For these departments, you can give them an extra ten yuan in subsidies." Wanling stone funds."

Zhuang Xinqian said: "Okay! Then I will talk to them and try to complete the deployment as soon as possible. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Luo Qingshui nodded slightly, Zhuang Xingqian stood up and left.

Tangning also left one after another.

………………

A few days passed by. On this day, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the cave with her eyes closed and practicing. There was a knock on the door. Mu Tiancheng pushed the door open and walked in. He bowed and said, "Uncle Master, the head of the sect is under the direct control of Xunyang." Master, please see me."

"Invite him in."

"Yes." Mu Tiancheng retreated in response. Not long after, a tall and tall man walked up to Tang Ning, bowed and said, "Disciple Xunyang pays homage to Master Tang Ning."

"What's up?"

"The headmaster invites my uncle to come to Qianxing Hall at noon to discuss matters."

"Why?"

"The headmaster ordered all the deacons of the sect to come to Qianxing Hall to discuss matters. It seems to be to arrange for the disciples to learn skills such as elixirs, magic weapons, formation flags, and talismans."

Just listen to Luo Qingshui say: "Today the Demon Sect is rampant. After occupying half of the Chu Kingdom, it has also usurped many resources, resulting in a great reduction in our sect's financial income. Since the Demon Sect's uprising, our sect's finances have been in dire straits for decades. Without spending, the sect’s annual incoming and outgoing deficit would be as high as two to three million spiritual stones.”

"It won't be long before the sect's savings are exhausted and its financial resources are exhausted. The sect will face the crisis of collapse."

"Currently, the sect's only four departments that are truly capable of creating wealth are elixirs, weapons, formation flags, and talismans.
