Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In the majestic alchemy hall, a man with a short stature was concentrating on refining the elixir.

Suddenly, there was a loud creaking sound, and the charming and beautiful woman came in from the outside. The man turned around and was stunned for a moment: "Mengzhu, why are you here?"

Xue Mengzhu walked slowly to his death, stretched out her arms and hugged him.

"Mengzhu, you..." Shao Hui was surprised and happy, his hands froze in the air, not knowing what to do.

"I heard that you were held hostage by people from a gambling house in order to raise ransom. I was very worried, so I went to see Senior Tang Ning, the director of the Taixuan Sect's resident in Jingyuan Pavilion, and asked him to bring me to see you." Xue Mengzhu said softly. said.

"Really?" Shao Hui was filled with joy at this moment. He had already forgotten about other things. He slowly put his hands on Qi Xiang's shoulders. Seeing that she didn't respond, he hugged her in his arms.

The two hugged each other for a while, and Xue Mengzhu gently broke away from his embrace: "Senior Tang has promised to help me escape from the clutches of the Chen family, and we can be together forever from now on."

"Is it true?" Shao Hui was overjoyed: "Is he really willing to redeem you from Zuiyue Pavilion?"

"Not only that, Senior Tang also paid the 25 million gambling house debt for you, so you don't have to work hard here for ten years to refine elixirs."

"This...this." Shao Hui was overjoyed: "I have no connection with him, why did he do this?"

"Senior Tang is a good man. He appreciates your ability and is willing to help us. Ah Hui, we must thank him in the future."

"Yes, yes." Shao Hui nodded hurriedly: "But I am penniless, how can I thank him."

Xue Mengzhu said: "Senior Tang, is he coveting your property? He is interested in your alchemy skills. I have thought about it carefully. Please don't go to the Pingyang Valley Alchemy Hall again in the future."

"Such a big thing happened to you this time, but they spared no effort. They just watched you being detained by the Chamber of Commerce and didn't think of a way to solve it. In the end, it was Senior Tang who generously contributed money to rescue you."

"As far as I know, Senior Tang Ning is a kind and honest person. From now on, I will not go to Zuiyue Pavilion, and you will never visit Pingyang Valley. We will just follow Senior Tang and listen to his instructions to repay his kindness."

"Okay, I will listen to you in everything." Shao Hui nodded and couldn't help but hug her into his arms again. It wasn't until someone arrived that the two of them left hand in hand.

…

Jingyuan Pavilion, Pingling Mountain, inside the cave, where Tang Ning was practicing self-cultivation with her eyes closed, Gu Yuanya opened the door and walked in: "Master, Xue Mengzhu is here again and wants to see you."

"Invite her!"

Gu Yuanya left in response. Not long after, a man and a woman came in side by side. It was Xue Mengzhu and Shao Hui. They bowed their heads and bowed.

"You're welcome, please sit down!"

The two of them took their seats as instructed, and Shao Hui said in a low voice: "I am grateful to the senior for helping me out of kindness. The junior has nothing to repay. From now on, I will only obey the orders of the senior to repay my kindness."

"Some trivial things are nothing to worry about."

Xue Mengzhu said: "Senior Tang, we have discussed it before coming here and have unanimously decided to come to you. I hope you will not dislike me and take good care of me."

"Is that really so? That couldn't be better. Don't worry, I will never treat you badly. A few days ago, I went to the Chen Mansion and discussed it with fellow Taoist Chen Liang. Fellow Taoist Xue, from now on you don't have to Go back to Zuiyue Pavilion, stay here peacefully, I will report to the superiors and hire you to join our team."

"Thank you, senior."

"As for fellow Taoist Shao, you should go back to Pingyang Valley first. Otherwise, fellow Taoist Fang may say that I have bad intentions behind their backs and try to pry them into trouble. When I have made arrangements here and find a replacement alchemist for them, you can come over and help me. what do you think?"

The two looked at each other, Xue Mengzhu nodded slightly, and Shao Hui responded: "Everything depends on senior's instructions."

After chatting for a while, the two said goodbye.

…

Time flies by in a blink of an eye, and half a year passes in the blink of an eye.

In Xuantang City, in the Tianniu Mountains, in the majestic and majestic hall, many senior leaders of the regiment gathered together. Fang Dasheng sat in the main seat and said expressionlessly.

"The following is the selection of management positions in the brigade directly under the joint brigade. According to the recommendation list submitted by the brigade directly under the brigade, there are three candidates. They are Tang Ning, captain of the third squad of the first brigade, He Xuan, captain of the ninth squad of the direct brigade, and the captain of the fourth brigade. Hu Tianhua, captain of the second team.”

"Tang Ning was recommended by Junior Brother Huang Yuan, the head of the direct brigade, Hu Tianhua was recommended by Ren Quan, the supervisor of the direct brigade, and He Xuan was recommended by Xu Ziyi, the deputy captain of the direct brigade. Voting for the election will begin now."

…

"Brother Tang, I just got the news and you came here. Congratulations, the big deal has been decided, and the manager of the direct alliance is already yours." In the cave, the two people sat opposite each other, Xu Mengyuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Tang Ning was overjoyed: "Uncle Fang and Brother Xu took care of this matter. Tang is deeply grateful. If Brother Xu has any instructions in the future, just ask."

"Why do we need to talk about this between brothers? If I really need your help in the future, I will definitely not be polite to you."

"By the way, Brother Xu, I wonder which of my uncles supported me in this election? I would like to pay my respects to them one by one."

"There are five people supporting you. In addition to your master, there are also Senior Uncle Huang Yuan, Senior Uncle Tao Yuan, Senior Uncle Xu Yuan and Senior Uncle Xie Minghua."

Tang Ning nodded slightly. Huang Yuan, Tao Yuan, and Xu Yuan were all Fang Dasheng's best friends. Given their leadership, it was not surprising that these people would support him. However, Xie Minghua's support surprised him. Obviously, this was his initiative to convey goodwill. It seems that the last visit had some effect.

Although Xie Minghua did not express his position clearly at the time, looking back in hindsight, he still chose to reach reconciliation with himself.

"Brother Xu, I came here this time because I have something to do and I want to trouble you."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"You know that I offended He Lian in the first brigade. He has always been resentful. I'm afraid that after leaving Jingyuan Pavilion, the juniors who have been following me will be targeted or even framed by him. Brother Xu, do you think you can They have been transferred to the alliance. Do we also have some recruiting monks? Can we add a few more places?"

"Transferred to the alliance? How many people are there in total? What are their cultivation levels?"

"There must be five or six people in total! They are all disciples of the original Qinghai Qianyi Sect. They originally belonged to the same sect as me. They were desperate and came to seek refuge with me, so they were placed in my team to help me deal with the debris."

Xu Mengyuan frowned slightly: "I'm afraid this is not easy to arrange! The limit for recruiting monks in the alliance has been reached. Five or six Jindan monks were squeezed in at once. There is no guarantee that others will not gossip. You know, the salary of these recruited disciples is It’s up to each team to pay for it.”

"Originally, these people are paid from the funds of the Fifth Squadron of the First Battalion. If they are squeezed into the recruitment quota of the alliance, it will be equivalent to helping the Fifth Squadron of the First Battalion save this money, but the alliance will have to spend extra. Their salary will not be approved by the uncle who is in charge of the alliance's personnel and finances."

Tang Ning said: "I knew this was a bit difficult, so I came to Brother Xu for help. Brother Xu, do you think there are other ways to solve it?"

Xu Mengyuan thought for a moment: "It's really not easy to arrange five or six people. If Brother Tang is really worried about being retaliated by them, he just needs to transfer people from the first brigade."

"Let's do this! I'll think of a way to transfer the disciples to the alliance first, and then disperse the rest to other teams. I'll just find a few familiar and close brothers in the second, third, and fourth brigades and let them sell them. To save face, accept these people and transfer them back to the alliance when you have the opportunity in the future. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Brother Xu."

The two exchanged cups and chatted for a long time.

In the next few days, Tangning visited several team stewards who supported her, and gave each of them a share of 50 million spirit stones, which was the market price chosen by the steward.

Today, he is no longer the poor boy he was back then. Although 250 million spiritual stones is not a small amount of money for him, it is not completely impossible to obtain.

Since his promotion to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, his annual salary has increased to 24 million. With the additional salary of 10 million for the captain position and his share of private team funds, his annual income is about 50 to 60 million.

His own elixir expenditure is about 20 million per year. After Xiaozhan and Xiaobai advance to Nascent Soul, their annual expenditure on beast elixirs and elixirs is almost 20 million.

Even if he takes one pill every day without interruption, it will still be enough for his expenses. Over the years, he has saved fifty or sixty thousand high-grade spiritual stones on hand, which is more than enough to pay for any optional expenses.
