Chapter 570 Plan Progress
Tang Ning flipped through the file. On it, he learned the pills, talismans, utensils, and the names of the disciples of the banner. He closed the file and said.

"According to the decision of the sect, [-] alchemy rooms and tool refining rooms are set aside for disciples to learn skills."

"Next, I will announce the specific deployment. Ten disciples from the Sili Department of the Qingxuan Palace will go to the No. [-] alchemy room."

"Ten disciples from the palm print department go to No. [-] alchemy room."

"Ten disciples from Zhidian Department go to No. [-] alchemy room."

"Ten disciples from the Audit Department and the Transfer Department go to the alchemy room No. [-]."

"Ten disciples from the Palm Printing Department of Xuande Hall go to No. [-] alchemy room."

"Ten disciples from the Supervision Department go to No. [-] alchemy room."

"Ten disciples from the staff department go to the alchemy room No. [-]."

"A total of ten disciples from the Punishment Department and the Zhenfu Department went to the No. [-] alchemy room."

"Ten disciples from the Palm Printing Department of Yuanyi Palace go to the alchemy room No. [-]."

………………

Tangning assigned the [-] disciples to each alchemy room and weapon refining room one by one, and arranged for them to be taught corresponding skills.

In the end, the stewards led the disciples of their departments to the designated locations, leaving only the members of the supervisory team in the main hall.

Tang Ning said: "Every student in the Internal Affairs Department who teaches teaching skills must record in detail the progress of the other department disciples he is in charge of. Within a month, I will eliminate [-] people who are not very talented, and I don't care about it. interested disciple."

"In two months, I will further eliminate a hundred disciples, leaving only one hundred disciples who are highly talented and interested in this way to teach them carefully."

"So it is necessary to record the progress of each disciple in detail. Every ten days, I will personally watch the files recorded by you and ask about the progress of the disciples in charge of their skills."

"Yuanyi Hall must ensure that all disciples have sufficient raw materials for alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and array making. You must record in detail how many raw materials each group of disciples used."

"Every ten days, report to me."

"Yes." The crowd responded.

"Go! Report to me anytime you have any questions."

"Disciple farewell." Everyone filed out and left the hall.

Tangning also followed out of the meeting hall, and returned to the cave, sitting cross-legged to practice Qi.

As a Jindan monk of the Zongmen, he is in charge of the Yuanyi Palace, so of course he doesn't need to do everything himself, he just needs to grasp the general direction, and leave the rest of the trivial matters to the people below to handle.

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

At night, there was a knock on the door, and he opened his eyes: "Come in."

Mu Tiancheng pushed the door and entered, bowed and said: "Master Uncle, Master Xu Qingwan from the Palm Printing Department asks to see you."

"Please come in."

"Yes." Mu Tiancheng came out in response. Not long after, Xu Qingwan came in from the outside, followed by a tall and broad man who was Xu Qiyuan. The two bowed and saluted before taking their seats.

Tang Ning said, "How's the situation today? Are the disciples being negligent? If it takes them so long to learn alchemy and weapon refining, there must be a lot of complaints!"

Xu Qingwan said: "I went to the alchemy and weapon refining rooms, including the talisman-making and formation-making rooms, and looked around. Everything is going on in an orderly manner. It looks pretty good. Whether you really want to learn skills or are forced to come here, At least they are following and teaching their disciples in a decent manner.”

"That's good. There is a long way to go!" Tangning looked at Xu Qiyuan and said, "How do the disciples of the intelligence department react to this matter? You are the manager of the team leader. If there are disciples who are resentful and dissatisfied with this, you should persuade them more."

Xu Qiyuan said: "The disciples of the department are all very enthusiastic. Brother Xu Wenze knows that this is a plan arranged and planned by your uncle, and he attaches great importance to this matter. He told me to ensure that the department will successfully complete the plan assigned by the sect. Task."

"We are all your subordinates, and the intelligence department is your old department. We can't hold you back at this critical time. The disciples have taken the initiative to ask Senior Brother Xu to be fully responsible for this matter. The disciple is responsible alone."

Tangning smiled and said, "It's not bad that you have this responsibility and are willing to share the worries of the sect. If all departments are like you and support this matter so strongly, I don't have to worry about it."

"It's just that alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and formation are not things that can be accomplished overnight. It takes decades of work. You are solely responsible for this matter, and I'm afraid it will delay your practice!"

Xu Qiyuan said: "To tell you the truth, this disciple suffered a sighing disaster as early as two years ago. I haven't done my work in these years. Instead of wasting time, it's better to share some affairs for the sect and the department."

"In addition, I have always had a wish, hoping to learn alchemy and become an excellent alchemist."

Tang Ning nodded and said, "When I encountered a bottleneck, I focused on alchemy. In fact, we monks seem to have a long lifespan, but most of our time is spent on qi refining and cultivation. In fact, we don't have much time for ourselves. , and both alchemy and weapon refining require a lot of time to immerse, so there are very few high-level alchemists in this world."

"When you encounter a bottleneck, you can think about learning a skill and don't waste your time. That's good. If you need help from the sect, just tell me."

Xu Qiyuan didn't answer, Xu Qingwan said: "It's like this, Qiyuan hopes to have a famous teacher to teach him alchemy, so as not to make detours, you are the best alchemist in this sect, so I brought him here, and I want to ask you to teach him The way of the pill."

Tang Ning pondered, "The way of alchemy is no different than others, what is important is your own exploration and understanding. I think the alchemist who taught me the skills back then was only a sixth-level monk of Qi refining, and he only had the level of refining Qi Condensation Pills. He only taught me the alchemy skills. The most basic method of refining qi-nourishing pills, and the subsequent practice is all slowly explored by myself."

"Each alchemist has his own unique method of alchemy, the addition and subtraction of the amount of medicine, the balance point of medicine properties, the control of the heat, and the timing of melting alchemy."

"These are the unique secret treasures of the alchemist, which can only be understood but not conveyed in words."

"Based on my many years of experience, no matter alchemy, qi refining, talisman making, or array making, these skills are all taught by the master, and the practice is up to the individual. To improve the skills, it takes a lot of time to try."

"Of course the idea of ​​a famous teacher producing a high-ranking apprentice is correct, but I definitely don't have the time to teach you personally. There are a lot of things in Yuanyi Palace waiting for me to deal with."

"Furthermore, someone like me from a wild family background is not considered a famous teacher. Since you have the determination to learn this skill, that's good. How about it! I'll find you a real famous teacher to teach you."

After Tangning finished speaking, she called out, "Tian Cheng."

"What's your order?" Mu Tiancheng pushed the door open and asked with a bow.

Tang Ning said, "This is Xu Qiyuan from the intelligence department. He wants to learn alchemy skills and hopes to find a famous teacher to teach him. Take him to see your father and explain why he is here. Please take care of him."

"Yes." Mu Tiancheng replied.

Tangning said: "Qiyuan, his father, Mu Pingbo, is in charge of the elixir department. He's been a good friend of mine for many years. He's not a half-baked guy from a wild background like me. Whether it's alchemy skills or the theory and cultivation of elixir, he's far behind. I am above me. Since you want to worship a famous teacher, you can't go wrong by learning from him."

"Thank you, Master Tang." Xu Qiyuan replied.

"You guys go now! Apprentices have to act as if they are apprentices. Tian Cheng, take him to your father's place!"

"Yes, Master Xu please." Mu Tiancheng replied.

"Farewell, disciple." Xu Qiyuan followed him out of the room.

"Is there anything else?" Tangning asked seeing that Xu Qingwan hadn't left.

Xu Qingwan said: "I have an unfeeling request, and I hope you can agree to it."

"what's up?"

Xu Qingwan said: "I heard that the sect has recently further relaxed the conditions for recruiting disciples. I wonder if this child Zhirou can also join the sect?"

"There is no problem with this. She is originally a disciple of the intelligence station and works for the sect. All she needs to do is submit a dossier, expressing her willingness to become a disciple of the sect, and that's it."

Xu Qingwan said: "I would like you to ask for a word, let her be transferred back to the sect and concentrate on building the foundation. With her cultivation base, if she goes to the front line of the Wancong Mountain camp, she will be nothing but cannon fodder in case of war. It’s better to stay at the intelligence station.”

Tangning nodded and said, "Okay, let me say hello to the transfer department. I think it's not a big problem, so how about staying in the intelligence department?"

"Thank you, then I will take my leave." Xu Qingwan got up and left the room.

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

A few days passed by in a flash, on this day, around noon, he opened his eyes from the samadhi, and suddenly had a whim, wanting to see the progress of everyone's skills, so he got up and left the cave. , Came to the pill room.

In the alchemy room No. [-], a group of ten people are neatly arranged in front of a huge desk. The cabinets on the left and right sides are filled with various herbs such as angelica, ginseng, licorice, lotus seeds, and sealwort.

Everyone used scales to weigh, measure, grind the powder, and knead it into balls. The wooden box under their feet was full of discarded pills, and pills of various irregular shapes could be seen everywhere.

Tang Ning pushed the door open, and the sudden sound of the stone door turning startled everyone. In an instant, everyone turned their heads to look at him. Seeing him coming to inspect him personally, everyone was shocked and bowed in salute.

The white-faced man who was in charge of teaching and imparting the skills in the elixir department was leaning casually against the window, flipping an unknown yellowed book in his hand. Seeing him coming, he quickly got up and saluted.

"Don't worry about me, you are busy with your work." Tangning smiled and bent over to pick up a few discarded pills in the wooden box: "Who made these pills?"

"It's a disciple." A black-faced man replied.

"That's right, I have reached this level in just a few days. If I practice for a few more days, I will definitely be able to make a qualified pill, which is much better than I was back then."

"Master Uncle Miao Zan, I am ashamed to be a disciple."

"Have any of you produced qualified pills here?"

"Uncle master, someone has made one." The disciple of the elixir department replied.

"who is it?"

One person responded: "It was a fluke made by the disciple."

"Okay, keep working hard."

After a few words of encouragement, Tangning withdrew from the room, went around to various alchemists, secretly remembered a few talented disciples, said some words of encouragement, and then left.
