Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 507 Cost Reduction
Central Plains, in the remote mountains and forests, in the basement of the intelligence station, the footsteps are hurried, and everyone is in a hurry.

In the room, a woman with a waist and a fat butt that looked like peach blossoms pushed the door in. She asked doubtfully, "Master Du Xian, why are the disciples on this site rushing to pack up files and files?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu is here, let's take a look!" Du Yuankai flipped his hand and handed her a file.

Xu Qingwan took a look at it, frowned slightly, and saw that it said: Senior Zheng Wei has disappeared without any reason, whereabouts are unknown, and has been out of contact for seven days.

Du Yuankai said: "Brother Zheng suddenly disappeared without a trace. He has always acted cautiously. If he traveled far, he would definitely say hello to the disciples below. Now that he has been out of contact for so long, I am worried that something happened, so we must quickly transfer this person." place. He has always trusted you quite a bit, do you know his movements?"

Xu Qingwan shook her head and said, "I haven't seen him for a long time."

Du Yuankai said: "I have reported this matter to the sect and ordered all the disciples outside to do their best to investigate his whereabouts. Let's evacuate as soon as possible!"

Xu Qingwan nodded and said good, and went back to her room, silent.

In fact, Zheng Wei had met her half a year ago and told her that he was determined to leave Xingang and escape the control of Qian Yizong.

This sudden disappearance, could it be that he left Xingang?

She had mixed feelings in her heart.

There is relief, envy, relief, and a hint of guilt.

After a long time, she got up and left the room, and left the basement together with everyone in the intelligence station.

................................................

In the alchemy room of Qianyi Zong, Tangning was concentrating on observing the changes of the pills. With his right hand covering the right hole of the tripod, he controlled the spiritual fire and roasted the pills.

His eyes were slightly closed, and his spiritual sense sensed the changes in the alchemy in the cauldron.

The flame inside the cauldron grows bigger and sometimes smaller, burning around the pill.

The main medicine powder floating inside was drawn by his spiritual power, and melted into the cracked pill little by little, becoming one with it.

After a while, the cracked pores on the outside of the pill disappeared. Tangning opened her eyes, left the cauldron with her right hand, and patted on it.

A black and round pill spit out from the dragon's mouth and fell into the wooden box.

Tangning picked up the elixir and played with it carefully for a while. The whole elixir was no more than the size of a steel ball, and it was black and translucent.

He nodded in satisfaction, put the elixir into the mysterious bottle, turned around and picked up the elixir on the desk, put it into the elixir cauldron, and continued refining.

A night passed in the blink of an eye, and when the sky was turning white, he got up and left the alchemy room.

After practicing the elixir for a whole day and night, no matter the consciousness and spiritual power are exhausted, I need to rest.

Since Zheng Wei returned from killing Zheng Wei, he began to try to refine Yuan Qi Pill. After several years of exploration and countless failures, he is now able to refine the finished Yuan Qi Pill more proficiently, with a success rate of no less than [-]%. .

In just one night yesterday, in less than four hours, he refined ten vitality pills, and the success rate remained above [-]%.

In countless experiments, he slowly worked out some unique methods of his own, and he became more and more proficient at controlling the fire time of the pill.

Back in the cave, he lay down on the stone bed, closed his eyes and rested, and fell into a deep sleep not long after.

After an unknown amount of time, the trembling of the storage bag at his waist woke him up.

Tangning opened her eyes, took out the array plate and pointed it at it, took the talisman into her hand, injected her spiritual consciousness, a man's voice sounded in her mind, it was the rotating disciple in front of the meeting hall.

He fiddled with the array, and not long after, a burly man came to the room, bowed and said: "I pay my respects to Martial Uncle Tang, under the order of Uncle Lu, please go to the meeting hall."

"Is it just me?"

"Uncle Lu ordered all the department managers to go."

"I see, you go!"

"Yes." The man responded.

Tang Ning frowned slightly. Today was not the time for discussion. Lu Guang suddenly called a meeting for some reason.

He got up and walked out of the cave, turned into light and walked, and after a while, he came to the meeting hall.

Inside, Zhang Yan, Wei Xian, and Zhao Liheng were already present.

On Lu Guanggao's seat, in addition to these four people, there was another new face, a man with a broad forehead and broad face, and a thin figure.

Tangning glanced at him, and the man nodded slightly to him.

"All the juniors have arrived. The convening of everyone today is not for any other purpose, but to announce the appointment of Junior Brother Xu Yuan. After being recommended by our department, approved by the Disciplinary Academy, and verified by the Qingxuan Palace, the appointment was issued, and Xu Yuan was appointed to be in charge of the intelligence department. "

"Junior Brother Xu Yuan was originally the head of the intelligence station in the Northeast of Jiangxi. He was transferred back to the sect five years ago to prepare for foundation building. He succeeded in building the foundation yesterday. I decided to assign him the post of intelligence liaison for our department. Junior Brother Zhao will be in charge of intelligence collection! Brother Tang, what do you think?"

Tangning nodded, "Yes."

"Junior brother Xu, you must know all the junior brothers present here, so I won't go into too much detail, let me introduce their positions to you!"

"Junior Brother Tangning, the main department supervises the work."

"Junior brother Zhang Yan, the main department is in charge of the specific affairs of the action team."

"Brother Wei Xian, the main department is finance."

"Junior Brother Zhao Liheng is in charge of information contact. Originally, Junior Brother Tang was also in charge of intelligence gathering."

Xu Yuan nodded to everyone.

"Junior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother Tang, you guys hand over the work matters, this discussion ends here!"

Naturally, everyone had no objection and got up and left one after another.

"Junior Brother Tang, wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you." Lu Guang said suddenly.

Tangning then returned to her seat, and after they left, Lu Guang said, "You know the financial reduction plan that Yuanyi Palace recently implemented!"

"This is an open secret," Tangning said.

The so-called financial reduction plan is to reduce the sect's expenses in an all-round way, and reduce the funds of various departments accordingly. Although the regulations have not been officially issued, they have already been circulated privately, and those who should know have already known.

The intelligence department's funding has always been second to none in the secret academy, and this time it was cut the most severely. Originally, the budget was [-] yuan, but in terms of the reduction plan, it is planned to reduce it to [-] yuan per year.

This figure was definitely not a random one. When Tang Ning participated in the selection of the deacon of the intelligence department and visited Peng Wanli, he proposed that the budget for the intelligence department should be reduced to less than [-] Lingshi per year.

There has been no movement for so many years. This time Yuanyi Palace finally made a move to reduce the Zongmen's financial funds in a unified way. The intelligence department funds require [-] spirit stones per year. This is obviously after careful consideration.

Lu Guangdao: "Our department has directly reduced the funding from [-] yuan to [-] yuan. If we do this, it may be difficult to maintain the normal operation of the department. Can I think of a way to make the above accommodating?"

Tangning remained silent. It was really impossible to maintain it. If the previous distribution plan was still followed, the deacons, supervisors, and stewards alone would have to take away [-] spirit stones.

But now the sect only distributes [-] Lingshi funds, and everyone's "income" is bound to be greatly reduced.

"I'm afraid this matter is not so easy! It's not that one of our departments has been reduced, but all departments have been reduced accordingly. How can this kind of thing be accommodated? We can't just reduce other departments without reducing our funds."

"But we have reduced too much, a total reduction of [-] spirit stones. I think it is okay to take advantage of the fact that this case has not yet been formally decided by the sect. Let's go to Master Yin together later and report to our department. Difficulties."

"Then you go to the head teacher, and I'll go to Master Shishu, and ask them to speak up during the sect's discussions and fight for us."

"If you want to drop the cost of spirit stones by [-] to [-], you'll admit it. It's a drop of [-]. I don't know how to be a deacon."

Tangning pondered for a while, "Okay!"

This matter is not a matter of Lu Guang alone. It involves the interests of everyone in the department, including himself, so there is really no reason to refuse.

The two of them left the hall, turned into light and soared into the sky, and after a while, they came to a majestic cave.With a wave of Lu Guang's hand, the talisman was handed in.

Soon, a figure flashed out from inside, showing the figure of a woman with bright eyes and bright teeth. It was Yin Qingyuan's disciple Su Miaoke. She bowed to the two of them and said, "Master invites the two uncles to enter."

The two followed her into the inner room, came to the front of the room, bowed to Yin Qingyuan and said, "Disciple pays homage to Master Uncle."

"Sit down!" Yin Qingyuan smiled.

The two sat down as promised, and Lu Guang said: "This time I have taken the liberty to visit my uncle, and I really want to ask for something."

"What's the matter, tell me!"

Lu Guangdao: "I heard that Yuanyi Palace has prepared a financial reduction plan, which will be implemented soon. In this case, the funding of our intelligence department will be reduced to [-] Lingshi."

"Uncle, it's not that I'm complaining, but it's really a bit unprepared to subtract so many spirit stone funds at once. If it is really implemented, the department may be unsustainable."

"The intelligence department has heavy responsibilities and a high degree of danger. It has to be spent in all aspects, including the subordinate intelligence stations. Although the funds are provided by the sect, the rewards are still given by the department."

"In these years, among all the departments, the casualties of the intelligence department are second to none. Today, the number of disciples in the entire department is not even half that of that year, and they are all sacrificed for the sect."

"Including those disciples' funerals, they are all handled by the department. They have never asked for a spirit stone from the sect. The department has not applied for a subsidy for spirit stones from the sect for many years, and the finances are already very tight."

"Now that so much funding has to be lowered, the disciples really don't know what to do."

"Uncle, please understand."
