Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The snow-capped peaks are vast, and the world seems to be covered with silver. Only the huge cyan light curtain is spotless, isolating the inside and outside into two worlds.

A Xuanling ship shot up and stopped in front of the light curtain. On board was Tang Ning and his party. After they arrived at Xianyue Pavilion, they first went to the office of the second team of the third team and explained to Wu Xuan, the captain of the second team. Intention.

Then, under the leadership of Wu Xuan, everyone took the Xuanling boat to this snow-capped mountain.

This is the mountain gate of Huaxian Sect.

Wu Xuan turned his hand and handed a talisman in. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the light curtain melted into a gap, and several rays of light shot out from inside. On the deck of the warship, three men appeared. .

The leader is an old man with white hair and beard, who is Shen Yishi, the headmaster of Huaxian Sect. Behind him are two people, Zhang Tang, the leader of Yuanyi Palace of Huaxian Sect, and Zhao Guangyuan, the leader of Xuande Palace.

"The presence of all distinguished guests will make our sect shine brightly. Don't be surprised if we don't welcome you from far away." Shen Yishi bowed his head and said.

Huaxian Sect belongs to the D-level Xuanmen. Its leader Shen Yishi has a late Yuanying cultivation level. Zhang Tang and Zhao Guangyuan are both in the middle Yuanying cultivation level. Most of the D-level Xuanmen masters in Qingzhou have a Yuanying cultivation level. A few Rich in resources and a powerful sect, there are monks who transform themselves into gods.

Like Xiaoxian Sect, there are only three god-transformation monks in one sect.

Wu Xuanji returned the greeting: "Master Shen, you are welcome. Let me introduce you. This is Senior Brother Shen Yuan, the manager of the Third Brigade of our headquarters, and this is Senior Brother Yu Qian, the captain of the Sixth Team directly under the headquarters."

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Shen and Fellow Daoist Yu. I have admired you for a long time. Fellow Daoists, you have come from afar. Thank you for your hard work. Please come in."

The Xuanling ship slowly sailed into the inner room and arrived in front of the Huaxian Sect's meeting hall. Everyone jumped off the warship, entered the hall, and sat down separately.

Tang Ning and others stood behind Yu Qian with their hands down.

Wu Xuan said: "Fellow Daoist Shen, this time our headquarters sent Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Shen and others down here to collect taxes and tribute. I think your sect should have already made preparations!"

"That's natural. We never dare to delay the taxes paid to your sect. Knowing that your sect is coming to collect and pay, we have already been prepared. Fellow Taoists have come from afar and are tired, so please rest in peace for the night in our sect. Let me As soon as the landlord's friendship is over, the banquet has been ordered to be prepared."

"Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Shen, what do you think?"

"Let's do business first!" Shen Yuan said.

"Okay, here we come." Shen Yashi called out, and a man with a square face and big ears entered the hall, bowed and said, "What are your orders, Master?"

"Go to Xuan Yifeng and bring the materials you paid to the Shang Zong." Shen Yashi turned his hand over and handed him a token.

"Yes." The man took the order and left.

"You guys can go along too!" Yu Gan waved his hand.

"Yes." Tangning and others responded in unison, and walked out of the hall together with the Huaxian Sect man.

"Can a few fellow Taoists drive the Xuanling Ship together to save the trouble of carrying it back and forth?"

The few of them looked at each other, no one could make the decision, so old man Su Mingcheng nodded and said hello.

Everyone jumped up and arrived on the deck of the warship. The Xuanling Ship burst into light and sailed towards the northwest.

Not long after, they arrived at Xuan Yifeng. The entire mountain peak was shrouded in light. The man handed the talisman in. Soon, a ray of light shot out from inside. After chatting with the man for a few words, the two of them boarded the mountain together. The Xuanling Ship sailed into the inner room.

The Xuanling Ship stopped in a spacious place. Two monks from the Huaxian Sect left the warship. About a quarter of an hour later, a dozen disciples were seen carrying huge stone boxes to the Xuanling Ship. They went back and forth several times. , a total of twenty stone boxes are displayed on both sides of the deck.

Each stone box is three feet long and more than one foot high.

"Fellow Taoists, please check. Each stone box has 50 million spirit stones, a total of one billion spirit stones." A man from the Huaxian Sect said.

Taixuanzong had corresponding standards for collecting taxes and tributes from all Taoisms in Qingzhou. Taoisms at different levels were divided into A, B, C, and D. Taoisms of different levels naturally paid different taxes and tributes.

Even Taoists of the same level pay different taxes and tributes.

The specific standards are determined by reference to the cultivation resources in the local Xuanmen jurisdiction. For example, although Huaxian Sect and Xiaoxian Sect are both D-level Xuanmen, due to the gap in the cultivation resources of the two jurisdictions, Huaxian Sect only needs to turn in one thousand per year. Wanling Stone tribute tax, and the Xiaoxian Sect has to pay a tribute tax of 50 million every year.

In the same way, a Xuanmen sect like the Qianyi Sect, which has limited cultivation resources, only needs to turn over one million spiritual stones every year.

Tang Ning and others stepped forward to open the stone box and inspected them one by one. The crystal clear spiritual stones were neatly placed in the stone box, with a total of five thousand high-grade spiritual stones.

After checking the number of spirit stones in the twenty stone boxes, the Xuanling Ship took off and returned to the Huaxian Sect's meeting hall. There was laughter and laughter from time to time, and it seemed that the conversation was quite speculative.

Tang Ning and others came in from the outside, and Yu Yan said: "Uncle Yu, the Huaxian Sect's 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones have been loaded into the ship."

"Yeah." Yu Qian nodded slightly.

"I think the banquet is ready. Fellow Taoists, let's go now!" Huaxian Sect Headmaster Shen Yishi stood up and said.

Everyone filed out of the hall. Yu Qian, Shen Yuan, and Wu Xuan followed Shen Yishi away from the light. Tang Ning and others were taken to another pavilion by another Nascent Soul monk from the Xianhua Sect.

This is the mountain gate of Huaxian Sect, so there is no need to worry about the loss of spiritual stones.

At noon the next day, the Xuanling Ship burst into light and took off into the sky with a boat full of spiritual stones. It said goodbye to the Huaxian Sect. The Xuanling Ship sailed for several days and returned to the third group.

Many stone boxes carrying spiritual stones were carried onto the alliance's Fengling Ship and sent to Xuantang City...

Everyone continued to the next destination, the office of the Second Brigade...

After more than a month of busy work, all the supplies donated by the thirty Tingcheng sects under Xuantang City have been collected.

Large-scale tasks like this don't happen every time, it can be said to be very rare.

After all, taxes were collected only once in a hundred years, so all the directly affiliated brigades came out, because this was a good opportunity to gain merit.

Each participating disciple will be rewarded with one hundred merit points and five hundred thousand spirit stones.

The mission itself has no risks and does not take long. There is food and drink everywhere. Naturally, everyone actively participated in such a good thing. It can also be regarded as a large-scale welfare event for the alliance...

Tang Ning returned to the cave and began to practice without leaving home again. She only went out at the end of the month to discuss matters.

More than half a year passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, he went on two more missions, both of which were of the kind of meritorious service.

One was a material escort mission in May, during which the third brigade was mining Xuantang City and transporting various cultivation materials including spiritual stones, ores, fluids, etc.

The second is to follow the material reserves and check the accounts of each pavilion city directly under the direct brigade in July.

These two missions earned him forty merit points, two hundred thousand spirit stones, and a bottle of elixir.

………………

On this day, Tang Ning sat cross-legged in the cave and practiced with her eyes closed as usual, but she saw her legs crossed between her legs, the soles of her feet facing up, her hands intertwined and placed three inches above her Dantian, with her palms facing down and her head slightly raised. The cultivation method of Shura body.

Suddenly, the sky and the earth became dark, and in a radius of more than ten miles, countless stars of dark golden light condensed into a group, like clouds covering the sky and the sun, and swarmed towards the cave.

Countless dark golden rays of light were like a torrent, destroying everything it passed, breaking wood and cracking rocks all the way into his body. The huge cave collapsed under the impact of the torrent, and Tang Ning sat cross-legged, motionless.

A steady stream of dark golden light poured into his body and lasted for about a quarter of an hour.

Beads of sweat fell from Tang Ning's forehead, and her body trembled slightly.

I saw the outline of a golden eye emerging between his forehead.

As more and more dark golden light poured into his body, his whole body changed accordingly. At that time, the clothes around him had already turned into powder under the impact, and the cave collapsed.

He sat naked between heaven and earth, and saw that his chest and abdomen were slowly drying up. It seemed that he could not bear the dark golden light, but under the surge of green spiritual power in his body, his withered body quickly returned to its original state.

In the constant changes of body damage and self-healing, every inch of his body from the inside and outside, from the meridians and bones to the hair and skin of the body, and even the pores, changed into a dark gold color.

The outline of the eye was completely solidified, but there was a surge on the forehead, and a ball of flesh came out.

The fleshy bits on the surface of the meat ball slowly detached, revealing a dark golden eye, like a dark golden ball, without any emotion, but giving people great pressure.

The dark golden eyes glanced left and right as if a god was patrolling his territory, making people intimidated and trembling in their hearts.

Above Tang Ning's head, two balls of flesh sometimes stood high and sometimes lay flat.

There seemed to be two objects inside that wanted to break through the limitations of the physical body and struggled out, but in the end they were integrated into its flesh and blood.

After an unknown amount of time, the huge clouds formed by the surrounding dark golden light were absorbed by his body. The clouds dissipated and the sky returned to clear sky.
