Tian Yuan Xian Ji

The stars are dense, the moon is like a millstone, in the dark room,

The two whispered privately, and soon fell into a deep sleep. Until the next morning, Tangning opened her eyes and saw that the person she was holding tightly in her arms was still asleep.
"Husband." Liu Ruhan opened his sleepy eyes, half angry and half resentful,
"It's so high in the sun, you're still sleeping late." Tangning pulled out her palm and patted her buttocks lightly.

Liu Ruhan ignored him, closed her eyes, and continued to fall asleep.

After the [-]th Corps of the Qingwu Battalion withdrew from Donglai County, they settled in Pingyuan County. After seeing Wen Tai, Tang Ning went straight to look for Liu Ruhan.

The husband and wife have been separated for a long time than newlyweds, and they are naturally tender and affectionate.

"Ruru, wake up, I have something to tell you!"

"What's the matter?" Liu Ruhan opened her hazy eyes again, and squeezed into his arms.

Tangning whispered a few words in her ear, and Liu Ruhan pushed her head against him coquettishly.

"Speaking of business, Ruru, I think we have to find a way to start our own business."

"Ok?"

"I haven't figured it out yet. You see, gourds need demon pills, and buying demon pills requires a lot of spiritual stones. Our salary alone is definitely not enough. Now it's the time of war again, and I have nothing but salary and meager funds in the coalition army. Income. In addition, you have left Dongnae County again, and you don’t have any land under the jurisdiction of resources, and you have no other income. The situation will not develop in the future. If we don’t create some property of our own, we will not even be able to estimate the medicine in the future. It's a problem."

Tangning's current salary is 18 high-grade spirit stones, plus the funds allocated by the coalition forces, it is about 27 high-grade spirit stones a year, and the Buyuan Pill in the early stage of refining is [-] high-grade spirit stones per piece. His current salary is barely enough for the pill, but he still has a small cut to enshrine, which is not enough at all.

Fortunately, Liu Ruhan's salary is quite high, with a salary of 43 high-grade spiritual stones a year. Because the two people have different cultivation qualifications, she has excellent spiritual root qualifications, and receives the salary of the highest-level disciple of Taixuanzong.

As Tang Ning had a low-level spiritual root qualification before, and received the lowest level of salary, the difference between the two was more than double.

Although he has been bathed in the holy blood and his spiritual root qualifications have undergone earth-shaking changes, but only the husband and wife know about it, so how dare they report it to Taixuanzong?It made a lot of noise, and everyone knows it.

In addition to his salary, when Liu Ruhan worked in Donglai County, he had an extra income of about 30 yuan a year, which added up to an income of more than 70 yuan a year from high-grade spirit stones.

Tangning has been able to live so leisurely all these years, she doesn't have to worry about Lingshi, thanks to her nourishment.

But now, the Fourth Corps of the Qingwu Battalion was forced to withdraw from Donglai County, and all the resource jurisdictions under its control were lost. Without these resource jurisdictions, naturally there would be no extra income.

Pingyuan County is also under the jurisdiction of the Third Army, and all resources under its jurisdiction have been divided under each team. Of course, it will not give up its own benefits to the members of the Fourth Army.

Since the Fourth Army Corps came to Pingyuan County, the high-level executives of the Legion have appealed to the Qingwu Camp to allocate part of their jurisdiction to them, but there is no specific news yet.

You must know that the main reason why Taixuanzong's disciples live a prosperous life is because they control the rich resources and territories. For some disciples with real power, the extra income far exceeds their own salaries.

When Tang Ning was the vice captain in Xuantang City, his annual salary was only [-] high-grade spirit stones, but the extra income of the team could reach as much as [-].

Taixuanzong's entire financial system gradually decreased from bottom to top.

For example, when the disciples were building foundations, golden elixirs, and nascent souls, their salaries were much higher than the daily cost of elixirs. Since low-level disciples had no extra income, high salaries were used to guarantee their cultivation expenses.

The higher the cultivation level, the lower the salary ratio will be. Because high-level monks will hold important positions in various ministries, they will have more income sharing, and they will not rely so much on salary, so the salary ratio will increase lower and lower.

The reason for this situation is that the salaries of Gein disciples are directly paid by the Zongmen's finances, and the extra income is obtained from the harvest of various ministries.

In order to reduce the financial pressure of the sect, the higher the cultivation level of the disciples, the less the salary will account for the income.

Taking Tang Ning as an example, his salary was 18 high-grade spirit stones in the early days of his transformation, but now his salary is [-], a twenty-fold increase.

At first glance, it seems to be okay, but compared with the price, it is not enough.

The fifth-grade low-grade elixir was worth thirty high-grade spirit stones, and with his salary at that time, it could support the cost for a year.

However, the sixth-rank low-grade pill has skyrocketed to a thousand high-grade spirit stones, which is not enough with his current salary.

The higher the cultivation level goes, the lower the salary ratio will be, but the higher the price ratio of pills will be.

This is because the refining of high-level elixir is very difficult. Not only are there few herbs for alchemy, but there are not many alchemists, so the market is in short supply.

The sixth-grade low-grade Buyuan pills are still relatively easy to buy in big shops, and the sixth-grade middle-grade or even high-grade pills rarely appear on the market. in the market.

The elixirs for the fit monks are provided by the sect according to the quantity, or they can be ordered by a well-connected alchemist of the fit level.

The income of the husband and wife was originally able to guarantee the expenses of the two people's pills and other expenses, but now that they left Donglai County, Liu Ruhan lost that part of the extra income, which made the financial resources somewhat stretched.

In addition to collecting demon pills, it is naturally not enough.

In the future, if the cultivation level goes further in the future, the pressure will be even greater. Therefore, Tangning has long thought about starting some businesses, and the previous proposal to cooperate with merchants is also a preparation for this.

"Ruru, let's build an alchemy hall by ourselves, don't you think it's good? I can use the green spiritual power to catalyze the elixir, and the raw materials are not a problem. Just convince Wen Tai and Shao Hui, with them in charge, and recruit a group of alchemists to help , basically it will be done.”

"Isn't my husband going to catalyze the Golden Thunder Bamboo? I also want to dissolve the Gourd Demon Pill. Is there still time to catalyze the elixir?"

"I'm not saying now, after I settle the matter of Jin Leizhu first, I will naturally have time in the future..."

The couple talked softly about the future.

……

In the blink of an eye, several months passed in the blink of an eye. It was the winter solstice, and there was heavy snowfall in Huayuan County. The whole world was covered with snow and white.

In the empty valley, a big snow-white snake with three heads was lying on the snow field, constantly wriggling its huge body, its whole body was almost integrated with the heavy snow. On the valley, Tangning watched the spiritual power of the little white snake getting stronger and stronger, and his heart ached. Turn your thoughts.

Over the years, the little white snake followed him to fight against the Mubei monsters, and ate many monsters, and it always came out of the spirit beast bag to fight on its own initiative.

According to it itself, no matter whether the flesh and blood of monster beasts are more delicious than beast pills, it seems to be a great addition to it.

A few years ago, during the defense battle in Donglai County, after the little white snake devoured an injured monster in the middle stage of transformation, it fell into a deep sleep every so often, and did not wake up until an hour ago.Judging by its appearance, it is obviously about to advance.

It's only been a hundred years since the little white snake transformed into a form, and he never expected to advance to the middle stage of transformation so soon.

Even for a monk with high talent, it will take at least 200 years to advance from the beginning of Huashen to the rank of Huashen, let alone a monster.

The lifespan of monsters is twice that of human monks, and the corresponding speed of practice is far behind that of human monks.

The fact that the little white snake was able to advance so quickly must have something to do with it devouring a large number of monks and monsters over the years.

Tang Ning recalled that when she picked it up from the spirit elixir leaked from the ruins of the ancient times, it was just an ordinary little snake that hadn't changed for many years. beast.

Judging from the situation of this promotion, it is already certain that the little white snake can feed back a few bodies by devouring monsters. The key to this ability should be its innate supernatural power, that cloud of gray mist.

Gein, every time it devours a monster, it uses the gray mist to envelop and melt the opponent, and finally swallows the gray mist back into its stomach.

……

Under the valley, the little white snake gradually shed its snake skin, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. The new body slowly slipped out of the old skin until the tail completely fell off. It curled up into a ball, and its body changed. It turned into a ten-year-old child with red lips and white teeth that is harmless to humans and animals.

Seeing this, Tangning stepped in front of it in a flash.

"Brother." Xiaobai greeted him immediately happily.

Tang Ning touched its small head, and now it has successfully broken through the early stage of transformation to the middle stage of transformation, and as its cultivation level increased, its appearance after transformation has also changed a little. It was just a six or seven-year-old child , now looks to be about ten years old, and his height has obviously grown a bit, and his speech is much more stable and smooth than before. It used to have a bit of a baby voice, but now his voice is a little rougher.

"Xiaobai, how do you feel every time you eat a monster? Does it help your cultivation?"

"Yeah." Xiaobai tilted his head, thought for a while with his fingers in his mouth, and said, "Every time I eat a monster, I feel warm and comfortable in my body. When I meditate, my spiritual power grows much faster. "

Perhaps it was the influence brought by the promotion that further enlightened its intelligence. This time, it answered the question very clearly.

In the past, when Tangning asked such questions, it was always vague and only said it was delicious.This time, it clearly stated its effect on spiritual power growth.

Before the transformation, the monsters only had the intelligence of a ten-year-old child at most. After the transformation, the intelligence will be greatly improved, which is no different from that of a human adult man.

Only the little white snake is an exception. After the transformation, not only does it look like a six or seven-year-old child, but its intelligence also stays at the level of a six or seven-year-old child.

"What about monks? You have devoured many monks before, can they help your spiritual growth?"

Xiaobai thought about it for a while: "I can't remember, anyway, it's not as good as a monster."

From this point of view, the monster has the greatest growth in its cultivation, perhaps because the monster's blood is strong, which can help it transform into spiritual power.

"Brother, I'm hungry." Before Tangning could ask, Xiaobai said crisply, looking at him with clear eyes.

"Here, here you are." Tangning flipped over in her hand and handed it a bottle of beast pill.

Xiaobai took the mysterious bottle, but pouted his mouth, a little disgusted: "Brother, I want to eat monsters."

"There are no monsters for you to eat now, so fill your stomach with this first, and the elder brother promises you that he will let you eat monsters to your heart's content in the future."

Now that the benefits of devouring monsters to the little white snake's cultivation have been clarified, it's easy to handle.

For Tangning, Xiaobai is undoubtedly more reliable than Xiaozhan. If Xiaobai can quickly break through the alchemy and keep up with his cultivation, it will be his biggest help.

Xiaobai took out the Beast Pill, swallowed several pills in a row, and gulped down a large bottle of spiritual wine. He was full and patted his snow-white belly. His simple and honest appearance made people laugh. (end of this chapter)
