Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Tang Ning left the alchemy room, returned to the cave, and fell asleep for the whole day.

Around Chen time the next day, I came to the meeting room.

Inside, Zhang Chaoyang, Yu Yan, Lu Fang, Jiang Tianyuan, and Han Fu were already sitting and chatting.

Tang Ning walked in from the outside and sat down next to Han Fu.

"Senior Brother Tang, how are your preparations for having a baby recently?" Yu Yan asked.

"The Human Infant Pill and Hundred Refined Blood Coagulation Pills exchanged with the sect have not been delivered yet, and I don't know when they will arrive."

Lu Fang said: "What about the other items! Have you obtained the Fusion Pill, Soul Resurrection Soup and Three Yang Returning Void Formation?"

"No, I went to Xuantangli Market last month and bought the Fusion Pill and the Soul-Reviving Soup. Now I just need the Three Yang Returning Void Formation."

"Why don't we take it together?"

"Why is this possible? To be honest, buying these two items has already cost me all my spiritual stones."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Junior Brother Tang, I heard that you have been immersed in the alchemy room in recent years, and usually don't leave the door. With your skills, refining the Strengthening Pill, twenty pills a day shouldn't be a problem!"

"If you calculate it like this, there are 600 pills per month, which is converted into 2.4 million spirit stones. After taking into account the cost, it should not be difficult to earn 15 million spirit stones a year! After so many years, it is also It’s time to earn the money to have a baby.”

Tangning smiled bitterly and said: "How can you calculate it like this? Spiritual stones don't fall from the sky. If there were such a big profit, I would have already collected enough to pay for the baby. There is no need to work so hard and wake up early every day. Staying in the alchemy room endlessly.”

Yu Yan said: "According to this, how much profit does Senior Brother Tang make in a year?"

"At most, it's only seven to eight million spiritual stones!"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Junior Brother Tang, this is too modest! Seven or eight million is only two thousand Yuanyang Pills. Can you only refine two thousand pills a year? I heard that you can make at least two thousand pills in a month." Take out six hundred pills and sell them."

Tang Ning said: "That's all just following what others say and spreading rumors. Refining an elixir brings glory to others but suffers from others behind. Moreover, refining Yuanyang Pill is not as profitable as everyone imagines."

"Junior Brother Tang, can you tell us in detail? We are all quite interested. You are the only one among us who is proficient in alchemy skills."

Tang Ning said: "Since you brothers and sisters are willing to listen to my talk, I will briefly talk about it."

"Refining elixirs is not that simple. It consumes a lot of spiritual power and consciousness of the monks. With my current level, I can refine at most three elixirs in an hour."

"Twelve hours a day, there are only more than thirty pills. There will inevitably be spent pills. No one can guarantee a 100% success rate, even if it is thirty pills a day!"

"Thirty finished Yuanyang Pills are worth 120,000 spirit stones according to the market price. If they are sold to shops, the price will usually be reduced by 20%, which is less than 100,000 spirit stones."

"Excluding the cost of purchasing medicinal herbs and the cost of the alchemy room, the profit is about 80,000 spirit stones. This is because our department has unique conditions to privately purchase herbs grown outside at a lower price, including the cost of using the alchemy room. "

"If you buy herbs from the store at market prices and use the alchemy room of the Chamber of Commerce, the profit will be even lower, about 60,000 at most."

"Based on the profit of 80,000 spiritual stones a day, as I said before, alchemy consumes a lot of spiritual power and spiritual consciousness. The higher the level of elixirs, the greater the consumption."

"With my current level of cultivation, if I refine the elixir for a day without sleep, my body's spiritual power will be depleted. I have to rest to recover the lost spiritual power!"

"If you want to quickly restore your spiritual power, you cannot rely on meditation to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth. You must use pills, which is another cost."

"Based on one day of work and one day of rest, and excluding the time costs of traveling back and forth to purchase herbs, kneading elixirs, and dispensing medicines, etc., the time that is truly devoted to elixir refining is about one hundred and fifty days a year."

"In terms of spiritual stones, it would be 12 million spiritual stones, and the cost of the elixir to restore spiritual power is also deducted."

"Based on the consumption of pills for one hundred and fifty days of work and one hundred and fifty days of rest, it's about one million spiritual stones."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Even if all time and other costs are excluded, the net profit alone is 11 million spirit stones per year, which is faster than the seven to eight million spirit stones mentioned by Junior Brother Tang, with a gap of four million spirit stones. It’s our salary, it’s not a small amount of money, are there other costs?”

Tang Ning said: "To be honest, I have been trying to refine third-level high-grade elixirs in recent years. So far, I have not been able to successfully refine one. The cost of three to four million spiritual stones has been spent on it. Therefore. The annual profit of seven to eight million spiritual stones is actually not false, it is my real income in recent years.”

Yu Yan said: "That can only be counted as Senior Brother Tang's extra effort to obtain greater profits. It cannot be counted as the cost of alchemy. If it is only counted as profit, there must be more than 10,000,000 spiritual stone benefits a year."

Lu Fang smiled and said: "Whenever you have free time, can Junior Brother Tang give you some advice, so that I can learn alchemy skills as well."

Tang Ning said: "Senior Brother Lu is joking. When it comes to learning alchemy, there are many highly skilled seniors in this department. They are all from the serious alchemy department. They are much better than a dabbler like me."

"Others will not tell you, but Senior Brother Tian Mingyi, who is directly under the second team of this headquarters, has not yet reached the perfection of the Golden Pill, but his level of refining the pill is already very good."

"When it comes to alchemy skills, I can hardly compare to him. I have asked him for advice several times in recent years. Although I have not mastered the essence, I have gained something every time, which has benefited me a lot."

Yu Yan said: "Senior brother Tian is also actively preparing to have a baby! I heard that he has applied to the sect to exchange for the gift of a baby. I think it will not be long before he reaches the perfection of the golden elixir."

"Well, I heard him say last time that he will attack Yuying within ten years, and his cultivation is probably at its peak."

While several people were chatting, Yu Qian came in from the outside and sat down at the main seat. He first delivered a notice from the alliance, asking everyone not to embezzle or sell off the alliance's assets.

Some time ago, it was discovered that a disciple in the First Brigade had embezzled a large amount of spiritual stones from a spiritual mine. This disciple guarded a high-grade spiritual mine and was specifically responsible for statistics and storage. The amount of spiritual stones he had embezzled was as high as 50 million.

It was not until the inventory was counted that the deficit was finally discovered. After a layer of investigation, it was found out, and the disciple was also taken to the sect to be interrogated by the three branches.

"As for the quota for next year's Spirit Gathering Formation, the alliance has already been decided, and our team will be won by Han Fu." Yu Gan continued, and then reported the merit awards that each person received this year.

Han Fu is still the highest. Jiang Tianyuan, Yu Yan, and Lu Fang each only have 20 or 30 points, while Tang Ning and Zhang Chaoyang have none.

Zhang Chaoyang did not receive a mission because he received a spot in the Spirit Gathering Array this year and was practicing in the Spirit Gathering Array. Tang Ning had not received a mission in several years.

After the discussion, everyone left one after another. Tang Ning returned to the cave. She turned her hand over and took out dozens of bottles of elixirs from her storage bag. She was about to check the quantity and sell them.

Suddenly there was a shaking in the storage bag. He took out the array plate, pointed it at it, took the talisman into his hand, and then left the room in a flash.

Outside the thick fog, there was a man standing, it was Lu Fang. Tang Ning escaped from the light and fell in front of him: "Senior Brother Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Fang smiled and said, "I have something that I would like to ask Junior Brother Tang for help. I wonder if I can help you with this."

When Tang Ning heard what he said, she was confused and didn't know what was going on. Her face remained calm: "Senior Brother Lu, please."

The two of them entered the inner room and sat opposite each other: "Senior Brother Lu, I can talk about anything now. I will do my best if I can. If I can't do it, please understand Senior Brother Lu."

Lu Fang said: "Junior brother Tang, don't worry, this is something that will be of great benefit to you and me. A month ago, when I went to Fengyuan Pavilion to perform a mission, I passed by a remote place and noticed a flash of light underneath."

"I escaped from the light and searched along the direction where the dim light appeared. I found a large formation hidden under it. It must be that the formation was in disrepair for a long time, which caused the spiritual power to leak out."

"I tried for a long time, but couldn't break the formation, and because the task was urgent, I had to give up and plan to come back to find a helper to hunt for treasure together. How about it? Junior Brother Tang, are you interested?"

Tang Ning pondered: "Why are you looking for me, Senior Brother Lu? I don't know anything about formations. Is there anyone else besides me?"

"No one else is needed, just the two of us are enough."

"Senior Brother Lu, don't you need to find a monk who is proficient in formations? I'm afraid the two of us are not enough!"

Lu Fang smiled and said: "To be honest, I also know a thing or two about formations."

"Oh? I remember Senior Brother Lu, you said that he was transferred from the Security Department to the headquarters."

"Junior brother Tang is proficient in the art of elixirs, but he is not from the elixir department. Although I am assigned to the security department, I am also good at formations. When I was in the sect, I studied privately with an uncle from the formation department. After being assigned to the headquarters from the sect, in his spare time, he occasionally exchanged skills with his fellow disciples from the formation flag department of the headquarters."

"I see."

"This formation is a fourth-level low-level formation, called the Tiankui Bullfighting Formation. With our cultivation, it was originally impossible to break this formation, but because of its age and disrepair, its power has been greatly damaged, so we can try."

"When will Senior Brother Lu prepare to leave?" With such a good thing, Tang Ning had no reason to refuse.

"The sooner the better. I'm worried about being discovered there. If Junior Brother Tang has nothing important to do, how about setting off in three days?"

"good."

"I hope Junior Brother Tang can keep this matter secret. In addition, I need to prepare some materials to break the formation. Let's do this! We will meet at Tianyuan Mountain in three days and then set off."

"Senior Brother Lu, don't worry."

After the two agreed on a time, Lu Fang left.
