Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 565 Xiaoyang Dan

The next day, when Tang Ning came to the conference hall, all the disciples from the Ministry of Internal Resources had lined up and waited outside. Zhang Miao and Zhu Zhongwen saw him disappearing from the light, and they went forward to bow and salute: "Disciple pays homage to Master Tang."

Tangning waved her hands, "Let's go!"

The three of them jumped up from the light, and dozens of disciples behind them raised their magic weapons one after another. Following behind them, a group of people came to Jinbao Peak. With a wave of Tangning's hand, the talisman disappeared into the light curtain.

Not long after, the light curtain melted and created a gap, and everyone rushed in. A ray of light from a distance shot out and landed in front of everyone, and the figure of Wei Jie appeared.

Tangning said, "All the disciples from the Yuanzi Department and I are here to receive the salaries and funds for this year's sect disciples. You will lead the way."

"Yes." Wei Jie replied, and the light flew up, leading the crowd to the black mountain wall. He flipped his hand, took out a command flag, pointed at it, and the command flag shot a ray of light, mysterious The color mountain wall burst open.

Tang Ning and the others entered the inner room and came to the front of the light curtain. Zhu Zhongwen pulled out the formation plate, fiddled with it slightly, and the light curtain dissipated.

Everyone entered the inner stone room. Tangning directed the disciples to carry the stone boxes out slowly. These stone boxes were two feet high and about five to six feet long. It took eight disciples to lift them. Each stone box stored ten Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Dozens of disciples had to go back and forth more than a dozen times before moving the millions of spirit stones.

"Have you recorded it all! How many spirit stones are there?" Tangning asked after seeing the last group of disciples carrying heavy stone boxes out of the room.

Wei Jie replied: "There are thirty boxes in total, including [-] million low-grade spirit stones and [-] million middle-grade spirit stones, a total of [-] million."

Tangning nodded and exited the room together with Wei Jie, Zhang Miao, and Zhu Zhongwen, and returned to the meeting hall.

In front of the hall, the disciples of the five investigation teams had assembled and were waiting outside. Tangning waved his hand and told Zhang Miao and Zhu Zhongwen to return to their departments.

Inside, the stewards of the five departments were standing with their hands down and waiting, when they saw him enter, they hurriedly saluted.

Tangning went to the main seat and took a seat, "You all sit down!"

"Yes." The people below responded and sat down as they said.

Tang Ning said, "I haven't been here long since I first came to Yuanyi Hall, and many of my disciples have never met each other. Please give me your registration numbers."

"Disciple Xu Qingwan from the palm print department."

"Disciple Yuan Zi Department Zhang Chang."

"Disciple Fang Xiang from the Internal Supervision Department."

"Disciple Chen Yu from the Outer Imperial Department."

"Xu Xiangyang from Disciple Inspection Department."

Several people spoke up.

Tang Ning said: "I proposed to the head teacher to set up an investigation team this time. The purpose is to count all assets inside and outside the sect, and then re-register them. My request is only one, and I strive to be truthful. Do not ask."

"I'll give you one month to check all the assets inside the sect first, and then check the assets outside the sect."

"Here, I will appoint a team leader for you. Xu Qingwan will be responsible for the specific affairs of the investigation and will be the leader of the investigation team."

"First of all, we will start the inventory from our Yuanyi Hall. You go to each department to check all the assets and record them in the book."

"Yes." Several people replied.

"Go!"

"Yes."

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

At nightfall, footsteps could be heard outside, and a woman with bright eyes and white teeth pushed the door straight in. Tangning opened her eyes, saw Gu Yuanya's slim and brisk figure walking towards her, and smiled slightly: "Why don't you know how to knock on the door first when you come in? There are no rules."

"Master, I want to ask you something, can I?" Gu Yuanya walked to his side and said pitifully.

Tangning smiled, "Tell me! What's the matter?"

"Tu'er doesn't want to stay in the Inspectorate anymore. It's meaningless at all. I want to come to Yuanyi Palace to help master. Master, why don't you just transfer me to Yuanyi Palace!"

"How can you help?"

"You don't want to check the sect's assets, this apprentice can help you with this! I guarantee that no one can hide it from you."

"Inspecting assets is all thankless work, what are you doing here?"

Gu Yuanya smiled and said, "Master, you purposely transferred Aunt Xu to Yuanyi Hall to do these thankless jobs for you? Next time I see Aunt Xu, tell her to go."

"She is different from you. You are still a child. Why do you get involved in these things? Practice is the most important thing for you."

Gu Yuanya said: "I'm not a child! Master, don't think of me as a child anymore, I'm already in my decades. Besides, if Aunt Xu can participate, why can't I participate."

"You're still thinking about having fun after being dozens of years old? Honestly, come to the Inspectorate to practice with peace of mind! You have been in the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi refining for many years! You don't want to practice, you just want to play around all day long, why are you like this? When can we build the foundation?"

Gu Yuanya pursed her lips slightly, and said in a low voice: "The bottleneck is not something I can break through through hard work, it depends on chance! You always make me work hard and keep me away from affairs, just like being locked in a cage What's the point of being like the bird in the movie?"

"Cultivation is not a game. You always think about fun. This is not okay. How is your practice of the five elements and one body upside down?"

When Gu Yuanya heard him ask about the exercises, she didn't know how to answer, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

"When you encounter a bottleneck in your practice, you know how to have fun, so you can't work hard to practice the cultivation method? No matter how bad it is, it's good to learn alchemy with your teacher. Others practice, fearing that they don't have enough time, but you think it's too much time." Tang Ning just finished speaking. , Mu Tiancheng entered from the outside, bowed and said: "Master Uncle, Master Zhu from the Palm Printing Department, please see me."

"Invite him to come!"

"Yes." Mu Tiancheng responded and left.

"You go! The teacher is going to talk about business."

"Oh!" Gu Yuanya lowered her head in response, then turned and left the room.

Tangning looked at her disappearing figure and shook her head helplessly. When she was young, this child was obedient and would do whatever she wanted, but when she grew up, she became more and more rebellious.

Maybe it's because the two stayed together for a long time and lost the awe they used to have!

It seems that we need to prepare a first-level bottleneck pill for her. If she can't break through the ninth-level bottleneck of Qi refining, she has to try external force, Tangning thought to herself.

Footsteps sounded from outside, Zhu Zhongwen came in from the outside, bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays respects to Master Tang."

"Zhongwen, you are here, sit down!"

Zhu Zhongwen took his seat as he said, and said: "I don't want to bother my uncle, I really have something to ask my uncle for advice. I have already received all the funds for this hall. Please show me how to distribute them."

In fact, Tangning has been waiting for him to report this matter. He has been transferred to the Yuanyi Palace for half a year. Last year, he didn't make any money for Lingshi. Get one for yourself!

"There are no outsiders here, so let's talk about it! How were the spirit stones allocated for the various departments before?"

Zhu Zhongwen said: "Each department allocates [-] spirit stone funds."

Each department has [-] spirit stones, that is to say, Peng Wanli alone got [-] spirit stones, accounting for almost half of it.

"Since the distribution has been like this in the past, this year is no exception. Isn't the financial reform plan implemented yet? If there is any change, let's talk about it after the plan is approved and implemented!"

"Yes, then I will assign them tomorrow." Zhu Zhongwen flipped his left hand and took out two storage bags: "This is what the master told you. I hope you don't want to refuse."

Tangning took the storage bag, entered it with divine sense, and scanned it. It was filled with mid-grade spirit stones. Each bag contained [-] pieces of blood-brown crystal-clear spirit stones, neatly arranged, a total of [-] spirit stones.

Tangning smiled, "Since it's the kindness of Palace Master Peng, then I'll be disrespectful."

"Don't disturb Master's cultivation, this disciple is leaving." Zhu Zhongwen saw him accept the storage bag, get up and leave.

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

A month passed in the blink of an eye. In the alchemy room, Tangning's right side covered the opening on the right side of the cauldron. With his eyes slightly closed, his spiritual sense sensed the changes in the pills and main medicine in the cauldron. His spiritual power controlled the size of the flame, pulling the The main drug powder is integrated into the pill.

In the cauldron, the outside of the pill has been cracked with countless tiny pores that are hard to see with the naked eye. Powders of different colors are drawn by spiritual power and melt into the pill through countless pores, and the flames transformed by spiritual power burn around the pill. Roast, the flame is big and small.

Gradually, the outer layer of the pill was gradually melted, and under the effect of the inner medicine power of the pill, the pores were filled. After an unknown period of time, he slapped the pill cauldron, and a black and round pill came out of the dragon's mouth. spit out.

Tangning wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a slightly joyful expression, and with a wave of his hand, he took the elixir into his hand, sniffing the strong fragrance, played with it for a while, nodded in satisfaction, and put the elixir into black Inside the bottle, sit cross-legged, close your eyes and carefully perceive the artistic conception of alchemy and recall the balance point in the medicinal properties.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, put the pills on the desk into the alchemy cauldron, and concentrated on refining Xiaoyang pill again.

After breaking through the golden elixir realm, he finally made a breakthrough in the way of elixir. Just now, after hundreds of failures, he successfully refined a Xiaoyang elixir.

Everything came naturally, he continued to grope amidst failures, and finally mastered that delicate balance point.

Until the sky turned white, Tangning came out of the pill room, and the light rose, and she returned to the cave, sitting cross-legged and resting with her eyes closed.
