Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Tianyuan City, Taixuan Sect, a disciple pushed the door open and entered, bowing to Shangguan Chengyuan who was sitting inside: "Report to the headmaster, I just received an urgent report from Qingzhou that Senior Uncle Tang Ning has broken through to the late Mahayana stage."

Shangguan Chengyuan was silent for a while: "I understand."

At the same time, in the dim secret room of Shangqing Sect located in the south of Tianyuan City, a disciple of Shangqing Sect walked into Xiang Yunchen's cave and said, "Elder Xiang, I have just received the latest information about Tang Ning, and it is confirmed that he has broken through to the late Mahayana stage."

Xiang Yunchen said nothing, just sat there, thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked out.

.........

In Cangming Sea, the headquarters of the World Chamber of Commerce, in front of the majestic and vast cave, a beam of light shot down, revealing Wei Yuan. He quickly walked to the main room of the cave and knocked on the stone door.

The next moment, the heavy stone door slowly opened, and Jiang Ting'an sat upright inside.

"Your subordinate greets Lord Jiang." Wei Yuan bowed and saluted.

"Have you seen Tangning?"

"My subordinates have delivered the last batch of demon pills to him, and he came here in person to trade this time. This is the atlas he gave to my subordinates, and he said that the space channel connecting the Tianyuan Realm and the Immortal Realm is here." Wei Yuan took out the blueprint and handed it to him with both hands.

Hearing this, Jiang Ting'an was shocked. He snatched the blueprint from Tangning's hand and stared at it for a long time. He didn't expect Tangning to hand over the treasure so casually. "What is this place?"

"Qinghai New Port. The circle in the picture is where the space channel is."

"Xingang?" Jiang Ting'an frowned: "Is it such a coincidence?"

"I also find it strange. This New Port is where he was born, and the space passage connecting the Immortal Realm to the Tianyuan Realm is right there. And he became the messenger designated by the God of Death. It doesn't seem like a coincidence. There must be a closer connection between the three."

"Did he say anything else?"

"He asked me to tell you that this space channel is very unstable and the success rate will not exceed 10%. It is best not to try it lightly. Oh, and there is one more thing. I saw that he had broken through to the late Mahayana stage this time."

"Late Mahayana period? So fast?" Jiang Ting'an narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It has only been six hundred years since he broke through to the middle stage of Mahayana. It seems that the high-level demon pills and magic crystals we sent have been of great use to his cultivation. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to break through to the late stage of Mahayana so quickly just by practicing."

"Have you been to Newport? What is the situation there now?"

"No. I was afraid of complications, so I returned to the headquarters immediately after getting the atlas. I don't know the situation in Xingang for the time being. I only know that Qinghai is now under the jurisdiction of the Nether Sea Organization. Xingang is a small island with scarce resources for cultivation. Even if there is a team stationed there, it will be at most a small number of monks with low cultivation." Wei Yuan had just finished speaking when there was another knock on the door.

After the stone door opened, a man walked in and saluted, "Master Jiang, Senior Xiang Yunchen from the Shangqing Sect is here to pay a visit to you."

"He arrived quickly." Jiang Ting'an smiled slightly: "Please ask him to come over."

"Yes." The man responded and left.

Not long after, Xiang Yunchen came in from outside. Jiang Ting'an smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiang is here. Please take a seat. I was just about to send someone to inform you, but I didn't expect you to come here at this time. We really have a tacit understanding."

Xiang Yunchen sat down and glanced at Wei Yuan beside him: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, have you heard? Tang Ning has broken through to the late Mahayana stage."

"I just learned about this. Fellow Daoist Xiang must have known about it earlier than I did. In addition, we have also gathered the last batch of demon pills and magic crystals and sent them to him."

"I came here for this very reason. Since we have met the conditions he proposed, it is time to arrange a meeting with him to discuss the space channel."

As one of the parties in the transaction, Shangqing Sect was of course also responsible for raising a portion of demon pills and magic crystals, but they did not come forward to trade with Tang Ning, so they did not know the specific details, only the approximate time of the transaction.

Xiang Yunchen calculated that the last trading time was approaching, and heard that Tang Ning had broken through to the late Mahayana stage, so he came to Cangming Sea, ready to gather senior members of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the matter.

"No need, Tang Ning has already told us the location of the Tianyuan Realm space channel. Fellow Daoist Xiang is here at the right time."

Xiang Yunchen was surprised: "Where is it?"

"Qinghai New Port, this is the topographic map he sent me." Jiang Ting'an handed the map to him with a smile, "Tangning came in person to do the transaction this time, and it went much more smoothly than we imagined. After receiving the last batch of goods, he readily told us the location."

"Xingang, isn't that his former residence?" Xiang Yunchen took the album, took a look at it and frowned.

"I find it strange too, but it's not important. The key is whether there is a channel connecting this place to the fairyland space?"

"What are your plans, Brother Jiang?"

"I will go to Xingang in person to confirm the existence of this space channel. The question now is how to complete the exploration of this space channel in secret. That place is the sphere of influence of the Nether Sea Organization. If we build a large magic array, it will be difficult to avoid their eyes and ears."

"The best way is of course to borrow Tang Ning's Boundary Breaking Bead. Didn't he say that the bead can open a space channel?"

"I thought so too, but I'm afraid he won't lend it to me."

"He certainly doesn't want the location of the space channel to be exposed, so he just adds some more conditions." "In that case, let me notify Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Xiao, and we will put pressure on him together."

.........

Qingzhou, Linzi County, coalition headquarters.

At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the lights in the Kong family mansion were on. Kong Wenxing was celebrating his 9,000th birthday and a grand banquet was held. All the high-ranking officials of the coalition forces were invited.

On that day, everyone gathered in the Kong Mansion and drank happily. Tang Ning was naturally among them, and as the most distinguished guest, he sat next to Kong Wenxing. On the other side was Han Siyuan, the leader of the Qingzhou coalition.

The news of his breakthrough to the late Mahayana stage had already spread throughout Qingzhou. Everyone knew that he had a close relationship with the Kong family, so they all took this opportunity to toast him and congratulate him. Not only did he completely overshadow Han Siyuan, he even seemed to be the main character, as if this was his birthday party.

After the banquet, everyone left and Tang Ning returned to the coalition headquarters. A few days later, Gao Yuan reported that He Quan, the head of the Yan Qiankun Chamber of Commerce in Qingzhou, came to visit.

After getting the permission, a fat middle-aged man came into the room soon, bowed his head and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Tang, I hope you will not be offended by my intrusion."

"Fellow Daoist He, I wonder what brings a visit to my house?" The two of them had just met at the Kong family mansion a few days ago, and he actually came to visit him alone again. It must be something important.

"To be honest, I am here on the orders of the guild president. I would like to invite you to my house for a chat."

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Jiang from your Chamber of Commerce is here? I wonder why you invited me?" Tang Ning understood immediately. From Wei Yuan's words, he already knew that the top leaders of the Renjian Chamber of Commerce and the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce were involved. Now the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce has invited him, probably because of the space channel. He wondered if they had gone to Xingang to find out the space channel there.

"The president did not tell me what I was doing, but he asked me to come to his place to meet you. He said he had something important to discuss with you, and asked you to give him some face."

"Where is Brother Jiang Dao from your Chamber of Commerce now?"

"Here at the headquarters."

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Okay! Then please lead the way, fellow Taoist."

He had been very cautious before, and even asked Nangong Muxue to do the transactions. But now that he has broken through to the late Mahayana stage, he feels that he is not afraid of anyone and does not need to be so cautious.

If the Chamber of Commerce wanted to take action against him, they would not have waited until now, and they have already paid so many demon pills and magic crystals, and he also told them the location of the space channel truthfully.

There is no reason for the Chamber of Commerce to deal with him without considering the consequences and impact at this time.

The two men left the coalition headquarters and fled all the way to the Qingzhou branch of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, where they came to a secret secret room.

Jiang Shouye was sitting upright. When he saw Tang Ning, he smiled kindly and stood up to greet him: "Fellow Daoist Tang, I have heard of your great name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today."

"I have long heard of Brother Jiang Daoist's orders. I wonder why you invited me here?"

Jiang Shouye waved his hand, He Quan turned and left, and the stone door creaked closed.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, we invited you here this time because we have a favor to ask of you. We would like to borrow your Boundary Breaking Pearl."

"You? I wonder who Brother Jiang is referring to when he says you are talking about them?" Tang Ning asked calmly.

Only Jiang Ting'an and Xiang Yunchen knew about the Boundary-Breaking Pearl. Jiang Shouye must have learned about it from them. It seems that an alliance has been formed between them.

"Fellow Daoist Xiang, Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Xiao from the Human Chamber of Commerce, and me."

"Does this include Fellow Daoist Wei Yuan and Fellow Daoist He Quan?"

Jiang Shouye smiled slightly: "Except for Jiang, no one in this Chamber of Commerce knows about this. We have spent so much money and resources, and of course we don't want it to spread. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

"Then Brother Jiang Daoist should know that no one can use this item except me. Even if I lend it to you, you won't be able to master it."

"So we hope that you can go to Xingang in person and let us see it for ourselves. After all, apart from you, no one else has the ability to quietly open that space channel. Qinghai is under the jurisdiction of the Nether Sea Organization. If we want to build a magic circle, this matter will inevitably be exposed. You don't want this space channel to be known to everyone, right?"

Tangning was silent for a while. "You want me to open that space channel, but it will cost a lot of money."

"If you need anything, just ask."

"One hundred bottles of Immortal Yuan Pills, five hundred sixth-level demon pills or magic crystals, fifty seventh-level demon pills or magic crystals, and five eighth-level demon pills or magic crystals."

"No problem." To his surprise, Jiang Shouye agreed without hesitation: "The demon pills and magic crystals cannot be gathered in a short time, so I will give them to you in the future. One hundred bottles of immortal essence pills can be delivered immediately."

"Doesn't Brother Jiang need to discuss this with the other fellow Daoists?"

"Before coming here, several fellow Taoists have entrusted me with full authority to handle the matter. We can accept this condition."

"Okay then. When you deliver the Immortal Yuan Pill, we will set off for Xingang." (End of this chapter)
