Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 554
Tang Ning went straight down, Zhao Liheng stepped forward to salute, and called him Uncle Tang.

Tangning waved her hand, "There's no outsiders, so there's no need to be too polite. I've been waiting for a long time!"

Zhao Liheng said: "Yesterday I heard that Uncle Tang was promoted to Jindan, but he didn't dare to bother me in the middle of the night. I came here today and saw no one responding inside. I must be out on business, so I wait here and congratulate Uncle Tang on his promotion to Jindan."

"Let's go! Go in and talk." The two entered the inner room one after the other, and sat down as guests and hosts. Tangning said, "Just now I went to the Qianxing Hall to discuss matters, and the head teacher asked me who should succeed me as the deacon. I propose Brother Xu was promoted to deacon, and you were promoted to inspector, but they rejected it."

Zhao Liheng nodded and didn't say much.

Tang Ning said, "Li Heng! Of course I hope that you will succeed me as the deacon of the intelligence department, but your qualifications are a bit inferior. Brother Xu has always been in charge of the affairs of the department. His promotion is a matter of course. In the name, there must be some people who object."

"I just participated in the high-level decision-making of the sect. It's not easy to wrestle with others as soon as I come up, or I won't give them a good impression. So I proposed a compromise between Junior Brother Xu as the deacon and you being promoted to supervisor."

"They agreed on the candidate for the deacon, but they did not agree on the candidate for the supervisor. We will discuss it later."

"But don't worry, I will fully support you when the time comes."

Zhao Liheng said: "I know, thank you, Master Tang."

Tang Ning said, "You don't need to be discouraged. Practicing hard is more important than gaining fame. Of course, there is indeed a big gap between stewards and deacons in terms of salary and spiritual stones. If you have any difficulties with spiritual stones, you can come to me. Others I dare not say, but the cultivation pill can still be provided.”

The two chatted for a while, then Zhao Liheng left.

Tangning sat down cross-legged. After a while, the storage bag around his waist shook again. He opened his eyes, took out the disk, and took the talisman into his hands. His spiritual consciousness was injected. A man's voice sounded in his mind. It turned out to be Xu Qiyuan came to visit.

Over the years, there have been three people in the intelligence department who have successfully built the foundation one after another. Xu Qiyuan is one of them. He succeeded in building the foundation seven years ago and served as the manager of the intelligence department, responsible for intelligence liaison.

The other two were Li Muhua and Jiang Xian.

Li Muhua succeeded in building the foundation three years ago, while Jiang Xianben was a disciple of the fourth team of the action subordinate team.

Both Li Muhua and Xu Qiyuan failed in foundation building for the first time, and only succeeded in the second time.

Outside the cave mansion, Xu Qiyuan saw thick fog billowing and cleared a passage, he entered the inner room in a flash, came to the main room, bowed and said: "Disciple pays homage to Master Uncle."

"sit down!"

"Yes." Xu Qiyuan took his seat according to his words: "Congratulations to Master Uncle for achieving the Golden Core Realm. After hearing about it yesterday, it was already late at night, so I didn't dare to bother you, so I came to pay a special visit today."

Tang Ning said, "I'm about to be promoted to be in charge of the Yuanyi Palace, so I'll leave the intelligence department to you. Intelligence matters are very important to the sect. You need to take care of them, but don't let your practice go to waste."

Xu Qiyuan said: "Master uncle, I don't know if I should ask a question or not?"

"Speak!"

"After the uncle left the intelligence department, who will be in charge of the deacon?"

Tangning glanced at him, smiled and said, "Could it be that you intend to compete for the position of deacon?"

Xu Qiyuan said: "My cultivation level is low, how dare I have such delusions. I am asking my uncle for my aunt. I think she is also in charge of a department. I don't know if she can participate in this election?"

"Is this what Fellow Daoist Xu meant?"

"No, my aunt is stationed at the front line of Yingxia Mountain. I don't know about it yet. It's my disciple who took the liberty to inquire."

Tang Ning said, "I haven't seen Fellow Daoist Xu for a long time, how about this! Go to Yingxia Mountain and tell her to come back to the sect. I have something I want to talk to her about."

"Yes." Xu Qiyuan knew in his heart that Xu Qingwan was recalled at this time because he must be running for the deacon of the department. He didn't dare to ask any more questions, nodded in agreement, and then left.

Not long after, Xu Yuan, Li Muhua, and Jiang Xian also came to congratulate and visit one after another. Tangning entertained and chatted with everyone.

………………

Dan Yao Department, in Xuanzhu Peak Cave Mansion, a man with a fair complexion and a tall and straight figure came to a room, and said impatiently: "Father, what is the matter, calling the child here in such a hurry , the boy is making alchemy! It will be done soon."

Inside, a man with gray temples and white temples was sitting cross-legged on the futon. It was Mu Pingbo. Seeing his frizzy appearance, he shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not so easy for you, you! You are so impetuous, how can you do this?" Heavens, I just want to practice Wan Lingdan, alchemy is not something that can be done overnight, it has to go through the accumulation of accumulated experience, the more impatient, the more effective it will be with half the effort."

The man curled his lips: "If you are already old like you, what's the use of successfully refining Guben Pill?"

Mu Pingbo sighed slightly: "Yes! At my age, even if you can refine third-order pills, it's useless. That's why I didn't arrange you in the alchemy department, dealing with pills every day, It’s unavoidable to delay your practice, and you’re a little bit overwhelmed. Cultivation is the foundation of a monk, you have to remember this, don’t follow my old path, I just spent too much time on pills.”

The man said: "Understood, how many times have you said it, Dad, what are you calling the child back so urgently?"

Mu Pingbo said: "Have you heard? Another person from the sect has been promoted to Jindan."

The man said, "I heard that it is Tang Ning, the deacon of the Intelligence Division of the Secret Precept Academy. Today, I heard the discussion in the alchemy room, saying that he is not only exquisite in supernatural powers and spells, but also proficient in the way of elixir. In the past, he often went to the alchemy room."

Mu Pingbo said: "I called you back today to take you to pay a visit to him. At my age, the road of cultivation has come to an end, so I can't take care of you forever. After I pass away, he may look at me with displeasure." Take care of you one or two."

The man was surprised: "You know him well?"

The old man sighed slightly: "When I met him, it was a long time ago, not to mention you, even your mother hasn't come to this world yet."

The man said: "Why have you never heard of it before?"

"What is there to say, if it weren't for my hopelessness in cultivation and short lifespan, I was worried that no one would take care of you in the future, and I would not want to see him. My life is at the end, you still have a long way to go, and you will meet some people , will be of some help to you in the future."

The man asked curiously, "Father, how did you meet him?"

"Stop talking about this, let's go!" Mu Pingbo shook his head.

The two left the room one after another, and after a short walk, they came to the middle finger peak cave, waved the talisman and handed it in.

Not long after, the thick fog billowed, and the two entered the inner room one after the other.

Seeing this man with grizzled hair and wrinkled eyes, Tang Ning couldn't help but feel as if he was a lifetime away, time is not forgiving!Two hundred years in a flash, the heroic young man in fresh clothes and angry horses turned into a desolate old man in a blink of an eye.

"Pingbo, long time no see. There are no outsiders here. There is no need to talk about so many etiquettes between you and me. Please sit down!"

Mu Pingbo sat down as he said, and said: "I heard that you have successfully formed the alchemy, so I take the liberty to bother you. I came to congratulate you. This is the dog Mu Tiancheng."

Mu Tiancheng bowed and saluted, "Disciple pays homage to Master Uncle."

Tangning said, "The last time I saw you was [-] or [-] years ago. I remember that you didn't seem to have any children at that time. Now that your children have grown up, which department do you work in?"

"He is now in the Internal Supervision Department of Yuanyi Palace."

"Coincidentally, I will also take up a post in Yuanyi Palace soon. I don't have any man around for the time being, so let him follow me! Pingbo, what do you think?"

Mu Tiancheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and before Mu Pingbo could speak, he bowed and replied, "Thank you, Master Uncle."

Mu Pingbo said: "Thank you very much, I'm old! The only thing I'm worried about is this child. I didn't know how to speak. If there is anything in the future, you just tell him to do it. If nothing else, the court kitchen sweeps and spreads the word." The errands are still up to the task."

Tangning said, "Ping Bo, to be honest, this is the first time I saw you! I was quite surprised. How long have we known each other?"

Mu Pingbo said: "It's been more than two hundred years since we first met! You haven't changed much. It's just me, with white hair like snow, and a short lifespan. I'm going to be a pile of dead bones soon. .”

Tangning said, "I remember that in the Luoyun Mountains we ate big cakes for several months and looked for snakes, scorpions and wild game everywhere."

Mu Pingbo smiled: "At that time, I thought that if I entered the fairy gate, I would live forever. I thought about traveling to the ends of the world day and night, and wandering around the corners of the world at night. I didn't know that practice is actually so boring."

Reminiscing about the past, the two chatted and laughed for a while. Suddenly, Tang Ning's storage bag shook. He picked up the array disk, pointed at it, and took the talisman into his hand.

Seeing this, Mu Pingbo got up to say goodbye, and led Mu Tiancheng out of the cave.

A beautiful woman with a peak waist and fat buttocks walked in from the outside, and walked past the two of them, Mu Pingbo and her nodded slightly, and Xu Wanqing also nodded in return.

Until the two drifted away, Mu Tiancheng looked back at her, and said softly: "Father, is this Xu Qingwan from the intelligence department who is said to be the most beautiful woman in Xingang? I heard the disciples in the pill room talk about her." .”

"probably!"

"I heard that there seems to be some relationship between her and Tangning..."

"Don't talk nonsense, don't get involved in this matter in the future."

In the main room of the cave mansion, Xu Qingwan stepped forward to salute: "Uncle Tang."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Here you are, sit down! There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to talk about these etiquettes. It sounds quite awkward, and I don't know who made the rules. For a while, seniors and juniors, for a while, uncles and uncles, all seniorities It's messed up."

Xu Qingwan took her seat according to her words: "I also think it's quite confusing, but in the final analysis, the cultivation world determines superiority and inferiority by strength. High cultivation base and strong strength will naturally be respected. Seniority is naturally noble, and there is nothing wrong with it."

"Returning to the Zongmen from the intelligence station, and then transferred to the Yingxia Mountain Camp, are you still used to it?"

"It's not so delicate, it's the same everywhere."

"I'm afraid it's different! I've heard it all. There are quite a few people in the sect who covet you, and they even regard you as the number one beauty in Xingang. Some even come to me and ask me to be a matchmaker."
