Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Time flies, white clouds and gray dogs.

Decades passed by in the blink of an eye, and life in Xuantang City was as calm as water, without any disturbance.

On this day, Tang Ning was practicing in the room with his eyes closed as usual. Suddenly, the spirit beast bag around his waist trembled. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a white light shot out from inside. In a few flashes, he left the room. .

A hint of joy flashed on Tang Ning's face, and she followed the white light to the outside of the cave. She saw the body of the little white snake swelled in the wind, crawling on the ground and moving continuously. For a long time, its two huge heads poked out from the white scaly skin. , like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

After about an hour or two, its entire body finally came out of the skin, leaving only a huge piece of molted snake skin in place.

After the little white snake shed its skin again, its spiritual power surged, and it had advanced to the late stage of the golden elixir, and its body had grown correspondingly.

Tang Ning stroked its huge head, turned her hand over, and took out two egg-sized beast pills, which were swallowed by Qi Xinzi.

The eyes of its other head were still tightly closed, showing no sign of opening.

To say that Little White Snake's journey to the next level is not too fast, it has been more than four hundred years since its birth before it can break through to the late Golden Core stage.

Within Taixuan Sect, it can be said that there are a large number of people who have broken through to the late stage of the Golden Elixir in just three hundred years. Even if compared to the entire cultivation world, those who have broken through to the late stage of the Golden Elixir in more than four hundred years are still hopeless.

The lifespan of monk Gein in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir is only five hundred years. In the later stage of the Golden Elixir, the lifespan is only six hundred years after adding one hundred years of lifespan.

Tang Ning still remembered that she accompanied Fang Dasheng to visit Su Yuanhua. The two of them mentioned a junior and said that his cultivation was not going well and it took him three hundred years to reach the late stage of the Golden Elixir.

This incident left a deep impression on him. If he compared Xiaobai Snake with these people, the gap between the two sides would be huge.

But compared with monster beasts, Little White Snake's cultivation speed is already very smooth. Monster beasts are different from human cultivation. They have strong blood essence and blood, so their life span is much longer than that of human monks of the same level.

For example, after Tang Ning broke through to Nascent Soul, her lifespan reached 800 years. After that, every time she broke through a small realm, her lifespan would increase by 200 years.

If you break through the middle stage of Nascent Soul, you will have a thousand years of life.

If you break through the late Nascent Soul stage, you will have a lifespan of 1,200 years.

The longevity of monsters at the same level of cultivation is basically twice that of human monks. The lifespan of fourth-level low-grade monsters can reach 1,600 years. Correspondingly, every time they advance to a small realm, their longevity will increase. Added four hundred years.

Therefore, despite the fact that Little White Snake has been practicing for more than five hundred years before breaking through to the late stage of Golden Elixir, its lifespan is twice that of human monks, reaching one thousand two hundred years.

It is equivalent to a human monk cultivating to the late stage of Jindan for more than two hundred years. No matter which sect he is placed in, his advancement speed is among the best.

Not to mention that Tang Ning also delayed it for a long time. She had been feeding it with monk elixirs, which might have had some impact on its practice.

Whether the Little White Snake's cultivation speed is fast or not can be known by comparing it with the Golden-armored Ant. The Golden-armored Ant is a variant of the Rhinoceros-armored Ant. It is also extraordinary and belongs to a relatively rare species of spiritual beasts. Even Yan Minyi once said However, the variety of golden ants is good.

However, it is only in the early stage of Golden Elixir practice until now. In terms of age, Little White Snake was born only a few decades earlier than it. The gap between the late Golden Elixir stage and the early stage of Golden Elixir cannot be bridged in just a few decades, especially For monsters.

The little white snake was very happy when it was promoted to the late stage of the golden elixir. It made a fuss for a while. Tang Ning patted its head. The little white snake understood, shrunk and got into the spirit beast bag.

At night, in the house, Tang Ning was irrigating the fairy mother-of-pearl clams. He noticed something strange in the storage bag. He took out the array plate in his hand, pointed it at it, took the talisman, and injected his spiritual consciousness. A man's voice spoke. came to mind.

He immediately put away the fairy mother-of-pearl clam, flashed out of the cave.

Outside the thick fog, stood a middle-aged man with a large face and big ears, who was Fang Da's disciple Xu Mengyuan.

"Senior Brother Xu is here. I apologize for any delay in greeting you from afar."

Xu Mengyuan said with a smile on his face: "I have nothing to do, so I walked here. Thinking that we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, I came here to chat with you."

"Please come in quickly."

The two of them filed into the room and sat opposite each other. Tangning took out a jar of spiritual wine in her hand and said, "This is the wine I keep for myself. I'm afraid it won't suit Senior Brother Xu's taste."

"Brother Tang, you are so polite. Why do you and I need to talk about these false etiquettes?"

The two of them poured a glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Brother Tang, I'm here this time! First, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so I came to chat with you, and second, I have a happy event to tell you."

Tang Ning had known for a long time that Xu Mengyuan would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Now when she heard his congratulations, she was slightly surprised: "May I ask Brother Xu, where does the joy come from?"

"I bet you don't know yet! Jiang Xinquan, the captain of the Fifth Squadron of the First Battalion, has recently taken the initiative to submit a resignation application to the alliance because his life is about to expire."

"Oh? Is this the case?" Tang Ning's mind was racing with thoughts. Xu Mengyuan came to tell her this. Was this a hint...

Xu Mengyuan took a sip of wine and said meaningfully: "Brother Tang, this is a rare opportunity. As far as I know, someone is already eyeing this location and looking for connections. If you miss this village, you will never have this store again. If you want to I don’t know how many years it will take until the next position becomes vacant. Moreover, the Jingyuanting practice under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Team of the First Brigade is rich in resources, so this is a bad job.”

"Thank you, Brother Xu, for reminding me. I know what to do, but I don't know what your attitude is towards Master? I hope Brother Xu can say a few more kind words for me in front of Master."

"It's natural. We are our own people. If I don't help you, who can I help? Moreover, my master has always valued and admired you. I guess the problem is not too big, but you also know that the sect has its own rules and regulations, and many things are not The master alone has the final say.”

"Please give me some advice from Senior Brother Xu." Tang Ning stood up and gave him a glass of wine.

"Brother Tang, if you want to fight for this position, you must first meet the requirements. Have you met the requirements for your merits in this department for so many years?"

Tang Ning said, "Brother Xu, don't worry. I have earned more than 4,000 merit points over the years in this department. I definitely meet the basic requirements for a team leader."

"A few years ago, when my respected master and I went to Yuanxian County, he gave me instructions. Therefore, in these years, I focused mainly on mission achievements. Fortunately, thanks to the care of my senior uncle Huang Yuan and senior brother Yu Qian, I received Lots of mission opportunities.”

"The team ranks first in merit awards received every year, and now the number of merit points has reached more than 4,800."

"If it doesn't meet the requirements, I wouldn't dare ask Senior Brother Xu to take the trouble to give me advice."

Xu Mengyuan smiled and said: "My master once told me about this. When you visited Master Bai Jintang, he asked my master to take care of you as much as possible. Therefore, my master asked you to earn more rewards for your merits in the future." Opportunity can lift you up.”

"Otherwise, I can't do anything even if I have the intention. After I got the news, I first thought of you. I guess you have almost accumulated enough merits over the years, so I came to tell you the news as soon as possible."

Tang Ning said: "Since I came to this headquarters, I have been greatly favored by Uncle Fang and Brother Xu. I have never been able to repay you. I feel apologetic every time I think about this matter. Now that Brother Xu has come to tell me about this matter, it makes me even more sad." I am so grateful that if Brother Xu gives you orders in the future, I will fight with swords and fire, and I will not dare to say anything."

Xu Mengyuan waved his hand and said: "Our brothers don't talk about this. Since Brother Tang has met the basic requirements of the team leader, there is room for manipulation in this matter."

"First of all, in terms of the brigade, if you want to win this position, you must first be nominated and recommended by the first brigade to be eligible to enter the alliance discussion and selection process."

"If you can't be nominated by the brigade, it will be useless. There are three quotas in the first brigade, namely captain, inspector and deputy captain. Each person holds a recommendation quota."

"You have to find these three people and make sure you can get a recommendation from one of them."

"After getting the recommendation quota, you can enter the alliance discussion. The ten managers in the alliance theoretically only need to get four votes, because there are three nominees. But in reality, one of the three candidates often has one vote. You can’t get it, so if you want to be sure, you have to get five votes.”

Tang Ning frowned slightly: "I know the captain, inspector, and deputy captain of the First Brigade, but he doesn't know me. How can I get their recommendation, please teach me Brother Xu."

Xu Mengyuan said: "Yu Qingxiao, the deputy captain of the first brigade, was promoted by my master. I think he will give him some respect. When the time comes, I will take you to visit him and see if you can get a recommendation from him."

"Thank you Brother Xu, but what about the alliance? Although I have been in this headquarters for so many years, the only person I have interacted with is Senior Uncle Huang Yuan."

"The relationship between the senior leaders of the alliance is a bit complicated. Even if the family teacher comes forward, you are not completely sure. It mainly depends on who your competitors are and then you can formulate corresponding strategies. In short, all of this must first be recommended by the first team. Let’s talk about the quota, otherwise it will be all empty talk.”

"I'll leave everything to Senior Brother Xu. I'm a low-key person and can't speak in the headquarters, so I can only rely on Brother Xu. I won't say much about my gratitude. Brother Xu is willing to help me like this. It's a great kindness and justice. I miss my old friendship. Tang Mouming is deeply moved. , I will never forget it in this life, and I will do my best to repay Brother Xu and Uncle Fang for their great kindness."

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it, Brother Tang."

"Brother Xu, before I go to visit Yu Xiaoqing, I would like to find an opportunity to visit Uncle Fang and talk to him about this matter. I wonder if Brother Xu can come with me."

"That's easy to talk about. Let's go together later."

The two of them chatted for a long time while changing cups. Xu Mengyuan said: "Actually, in addition to giving advice and leaking information to Brother Tang, I came here today to do something else."

"Oh? Brother Xu, please tell me, if there is any need for my help, I will do my best."
