Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Divide into two batches, leave a dozen people to guard here, take the rest with them and follow me." Xiao Mobai said.

"Yes." The leader responded and directed the crowd to divide the children into two teams, and each took one or two children into the air.

Some of these more than a hundred monks are Qi Refining monks with low cultivation levels and can only fly with magic weapons.

Xiao Mobai flew in front to explore the way for everyone, followed by more than a hundred monks and two hundred children walking slowly.

When the sky turned white, luckily they didn't encounter monsters along the way. After walking hundreds of miles, they landed in a mountain forest, found a cave, and squeezed in.

"Let's settle here first! Luo Minsheng, take some people to open a basement here. Huang Jin, take a few people to guard the surroundings, and the rest will follow me." Xiao Mobai ordered.

"Yes." Everyone responded and got busy.

Xiao Mobai led a large group of people back to the previous mountain forest and picked up the remaining two hundred children.

Everyone worked hard for a long time and finally dug an underground passage in the cave.

Many monks led the children into the inner room.

Xiao Mobai was chatting with several men at the side. A bearded man with full cheeks came over. They all kept silent when they saw him approaching.

"Senior Xiao." The man saluted his head.

"You go ahead! Do as you just said." Xiao Mobai waved his hand.

"Yes." Several people responded and left.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, is something wrong?" Xiao Mobai looked at the man and asked.

The man said: "Thank you, Senior Xiao, for saving me. Otherwise, we would have been the prey of the beast."

"There is no need to say more words of thanks. Now we are all in the same boat and need to work together. After all, one person's strength is limited. Only unity can survive."

"I know, Senior Xiao, are you leaving here again?"

"Well, I have something to do and I need to go out for a while. If I hurry up, I may be back here in a month or two."

"Everyone is worried about you, afraid that something will happen to you. If that happens, we will be helpless and we will be scattered."

"Don't worry! Even if I do encounter an accident, there will be others to help you."

The bearded man with full cheeks opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? You are not of such a meek nature. We have been together for so long and I have never seen you hesitate like this. If you have anything to say, just say it."

The man hesitated and said, "Is there something I don't know whether to ask?"

Xiao Mobai patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Yan, we have been together for so many years. According to the rules of the cultivation world, if you call me senior, we should be considered friends!"

"I remember that you were one of the first to join this team. There were only a few people at that time. Now there are more than 200 people in the team, plus those children who have not yet transformed into mortals, they can form a small sect."

"You have contributed a lot to the team's development to this point, and you are now a veteran of the team. There is nothing else you can't say!"

The man said: "I know that you are not doing these things alone. There is a large force behind you. With your help, we can save our lives in this chaotic world. If you have any orders, we will go through fire and water." Don’t say goodbye.”

"This is not what I mean, but what everyone thinks. Although our cultivation is low and our strength is weak, we can still leave the work such as running errands and cleaning chores to us."

"Everyone wants to join you, what are the conditions?"

Xiao Mobai said: "Brother Yan, I know that you are very prestigious in the team, and everyone usually listens to you. Could you please tell everyone that you are already a member of our organization, although there is no formal clause, order Things like that, but we never need those things.”

"We have no strings attached and everyone is welcome to join."

"What you have to do now is to preserve yourselves, practice hard, and at the same time gather more lost monks to strengthen our team."

The man surnamed Yan looked happy and said: "Really?"

"Yes." Xiao Mobai nodded affirmatively.

"Can I know the name of our organization, its sphere of influence, and who is its leader?"

Xiao Mobai said: "We are different from any organizations such as Xuanmen, Demon Sect, and Chamber of Commerce. There is no so-called leader or president. Everything within the organization is decided jointly by everyone."

"We don't have a specific sphere of influence. In other words, the entire world belongs to us."

"Due to organizational regulations, I can't tell you the specific name and location of the organization yet, but I will tell you everything one day."

The man named Yan nodded: "I understand."

Xiao Mobai said: "Brother Yan, I leave this to you. Those children who have not yet transformed from the mortal world must also supervise and guide their practice. They will all be members of our organization in the future."

"Don't worry! Senior Xiao, I will definitely do this well."

"Okay. Then I'll leave first. You should be more careful." After Xiao Mobai said that, he took off and headed southwest.

…………

From the jagged stone hills, a ray of light shot down, revealing a man with a tall and straight figure and regular features, it was Xiao Mobai.

Seeing that there was no one around, he walked to a boulder and turned it at an angle. Then he came to another boulder and turned slightly, until all four boulders were moved in one direction.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed, like a picture scroll unfolding, the rocks disappeared, and a hill appeared in front of him. Xiao Mobai walked up to it, turned on the raised rocks, the mountain wall turned away, and he went straight in.

Not long after, they came to the end and there sat a man wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat.

Xiao Mobai turned his hand and took out a token and handed it to him. The man took it and looked at it, then pulled out a flag and shot out a ray of light, and the stone wall suddenly moved away.

In the spacious stone hall inside, there is a huge round stone table, with seven or eight men and women sitting there.

Xiao Mobai and a few others nodded and sat down together.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, how is the situation over there?" a burly man asked.

Xiao Mobai said: "It's not bad! We gathered hundreds of people and were attacked by a monster recently. Fortunately, the loss was not big."

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Peng's team was discovered by a small unit of the demon clan on patrol. The whole army was wiped out. Even Fellow Daoist Peng couldn't escape."

"I think the demon clan must be aware of our existence. Recently, we have found many groups of demon beast teams wandering around the island, looking for something."

"If that's the case, we have to be even more careful."

Several people were chatting, and as time passed, several more men and women came one after another. About an hour later, the outer stone wall moved to both sides, and a fair-faced man walked in, with a very conspicuous birthmark between his eyebrows. It was Xu Wenruo.

He sat down and smiled and said: "All fellow Taoists are here. I know that everyone has been busy recruiting monks recently to expand the team. It is not easy to come from afar."

"Thanks to the concerted efforts of all fellow Taoists, we have now laid a solid foundation on Jining Island, and the team is getting stronger."

"It can be said that the most difficult and dark days have finally passed. The fierce battle between Qingzhou Xuanmen and Mubei Demons is currently going on around Tianyuan Island. The large troops stationed on Jining Island have been transferred to Cangyun Island and Qiansha Island. Waiting for the front line.”

"The only troops left on Jining Island are a column of Mubei Yamo."

"Given the circumstances, we decided it was almost time to close the net."

"The purpose of calling everyone together this time is to understand the actual situation of each team and to count how many people we have in total."

"To facilitate future operations to relocate them and seize Jining Island."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

A pretty woman said: "Although we have gathered a lot of people over the years, most of them are a ragtag group of people with low cultivation. It is like taking over Jining Island with just us. I'm afraid it's impossible!"

"Besides, although there is only one column of troops stationed on this island, the Mubei demon army is not far away. They can come with support at any time. If we rely on us to seize the island, wouldn't that be asking for death?"

Another burly man said: "Not to mention the army of demons in Mubei, the strength stationed on the island alone is definitely not something we can compete with."

"Fellow Taoists, don't be anxious." Xu Wenruo waved his hand and said: "I'm talking about the future, not the present. What we have to do now is to count the number of people in each team. As for the future operation to seize the island, it is not our intention, but the superiors. The organization’s words.”

"I think the higher-level organization will definitely not let us die in vain. Fellow Taoists, don't worry. When the time comes, we will definitely act when we are sure."

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, starting with you, let's talk about the current situation of your team!"

"Okay." The man surnamed Yuan nodded and said: "There are a total of 173 monks in our team, including 56 foundation-building monks, 117 Qi-refining monks, and 300 untransformed children. Sixty-four people.”

Before he finished speaking, the woman on the left spoke: "We have a total of 165 monks, including 48 foundation-building monks, 117 Qi-refining monks, and 320 untransformed children. one person."

Everyone reported the status of their teams one by one. There are thirteen people here, a total of thirteen teams, each with about 560 people.

After hearing this, Xu Wenruo smiled and said: "It seems that the situation is better than I expected. I didn't expect that in just a short period of more than ten years, your team alone has gathered so many people. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, but that's it." Come on!"

"The next step is to select loyal, capable and like-minded people in your respective teams, tell them about the existence of our organization, and then formally introduce them to the organization and become the backbone of each team."

"For the remaining people, don't tell them about the existence of the organization without reservation, but don't let them leave either. Keep them as our reserve team. When the superior organization decides when to occupy Jining Island in the future, we will absorb them all. come over."

Everyone nodded and said hello, Xiao Mobai said: "I think we can bring those children who have successfully transformed into ordinary people directly into our organization. As the lowest-level organization members, they can also be regarded as our training personnel. They can be trusted in the future. You can also be entrusted with important tasks.”

"Well, the whole idea is not bad, what do you fellow Taoists think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Then let's decide! All the transformed children in the team will be directly brought into the organization, but they must be taught first. They can be brought here. I will arrange for them to be specially taught and taught the cultivation techniques, including Loyalty to the organization and then returning to the teams.”

"Do you fellow Taoists have any other needs?"

A slim woman said: "Now all the children in our team who have transformed from mortals are sent to the "Wanqi Mountain" mortal transformation pool. I think it is too conspicuous, and that place will be exposed sooner or later. I suggest that we build more such mortal transformation pools. in case."

"Currently, the resources at our disposal are limited. I will submit this matter for further discussion."

"Now Jining Island is occupied by demons. We are in a hurry to avoid the sun. We are in short supply of spiritual things. Can the higher-level organization provide support?"

Everyone was talking and discussing.

………

In Yuanxian City, among the majestic and majestic palaces, Tang Ning walked out from inside, and the light rose up. The palaces and pavilions on both sides were lined up in rows. Not long after walking, a hundred-foot-high city outline appeared in front of him. He walked straight out of the city outline and headed to the southwest. And go.

This place is called "Fang Yuanli Market", which is the closest "market" to where their column is stationed. He only came here to buy some pills for cultivation.

After leaving the Fourth Army and being transferred to the Nineteenth Army, to be precise, after leaving Bai Jintang's team, his life has not been so easy.

In the past, in the Seventh Regiment, Bai Jintang protected him. Apart from attending the team duty, he usually had nothing to do and only stayed in the room to practice.

Now that he has been transferred to the 6th Column and 5th Alliance of the 19th Army, there are more chores. His captain Huang Yuanjin always assigns him to do some chores.

For example, patrolling the surroundings, guarding the palace, carrying supplies, etc. There is less time for purification, and naturally less time for cultivation.

Who told him that his cultivation level was low and that no one above him was "looking after" him? If he wasn't assigned to do those trivial things, who would be assigned to do them?

Of course, these are not important matters. The most important thing is that his spiritual stones are once again stretched and he can no longer make ends meet.

When he was in the Fourth Legion, Bai Jintang would give him an additional one hundred high-grade spiritual stones every year. Including his own share, the annual salary of 1.3 million spiritual stones was enough for him to spend.

Therefore, after returning to Yuanxian City to recover from his injuries, he still had more than 3 million spiritual stones on him, and after spending 1.4 million spiritual stones to buy spiritual wine and spiritual food.

The remaining 1.6 million spirit stones have been squandered long ago in so many years.

If it were just for his personal elixir, the cost would be slightly better. One Huang Yuandan cost two thousand spiritual stones, sixty thousand spiritual stones a month, and seven hundred and twenty thousand spiritual stones a year.

If he lives a little more frugally, he can still support himself, not to mention that he doesn't need to practice every day. It would be great if he can practice for eight or nine months a year.

After this calculation, his actual annual expenses are only about 400,000.

The biggest problem is Xiao Zhan. This aunt needs elixirs every day. She doesn't care whether you are rich or poor. She must have her share anyway, otherwise she will cause trouble.

Tang Ning spent most of his spiritual stones on her. If he hadn't spent several months refining elixirs in recent years to earn some money for the elixirs, he would have been at the end of his rope with the 1.6 million spiritual stones.

There is no way, his salary is too low, only 300,000. If he could have 1 million every year, he wouldn't have to work so hard to refine elixirs and earn spiritual stones.

Sometimes he even feels that he is completely a tool working for others.

Xiaozhan was a wealthy gentry in the mortal world, and he was a tenant working long-term in the wealthy gentry's family. His hard work ended up making wedding clothes for others.
