Tian Yuan Xian Ji

The next day, he boarded the Allied Forces ship Leizi and was led to a stone room under the cabin to meet Yuan Tan.

"Disciple pays homage to Master." Tang Ning bowed and saluted.

Yuan Tan waved his hand, motioning for the man beside him to step back, and the stone door creaked shut.

"Sit down!"

Tang Ning sat down as he was told: "May I ask, uncle, do you know what position the coalition army will transfer disciples to the headquarters this time?"

Yuan Tan gave him a meaningful look: "I won't hide it from you! In fact, the coalition forces have other arrangements for transferring you back to the headquarters this time."

"Disciple saw that the transfer order said that he would be transferred to another person. Is there some special task for the disciple to perform?"

"Yes, the Merchant Alliance is recruiting an expedition team. Uncle Han personally selected your general and asked you to set off with the Merchant Alliance expedition team."

After hearing this, Tang Ning was confused. There was so much information in this short sentence that he was confused for a while and couldn't figure out his thoughts.

The Merchant Alliance recruits an expedition team, where will they go?Could it be the Liangzhou front line?That’s not right either!Why should I, a disciple of Taixuan Sect and a monk of the Qingzhou Alliance Army, join the Merchant Alliance's recruitment?
And Uncle Han personally ordered generals?It must be Han Siyuan, the master of Qingxuan Palace, who singled out a Void Refining cultivator. Why is this?

Seeing his confused face, Yuan Tan smiled slightly: "You must not understand the meaning of this expedition."

"You know that the headquarters of the Business Alliance is in the Cangming Sea. The three giants of the Business Alliance, the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, and the Human World Chamber of Commerce, are respectively built on the three islands of Xuanwu, Baihu, and Suzaku in the Cangming Sea."

"But in fact, the most important base of the Merchant Alliance is Qinglong Island. The reason why this island is important is because it has a space passage that connects to another interface, similar to the space passage that connects Tianyuan City to the Demon Realm."

"The difference is that the demon world connected to the Tianyuan City space channel is very hostile to us. It has repeatedly invaded this world and plundered resources. The other interface connected to Qinglong Island is very friendly, and the merchant alliance has established a long-term cooperative relationship with them. .”

"You must have had this question, why the Merchant Alliance can create spiritual weapons, but other forces cannot. The secret lies in another interface connected to the space channel of Qinglong Island. We call it the Weapon Spirit Continent."

"The Qiling Continent is slightly smaller than the Tianyuan Continent, and its original species is the Qiling Clan. Of course, this is what we call it."

"Different from the structure of the human race and the monster race, the weapon spirit clan is a race where certain objects produce spiritual intelligence. After their death, the weapon spirit will turn into pure energy of the object and return to the world. This energy is the essence of the energy group in the spiritual weapon. .”

"The most critical part of all kinds of spiritual weapons is the energy group, and the energy group is a product of the Weapon Spirit Continent and can only be obtained from there. The space passage to the Weapon Spirit Continent is in the hands of the Merchant Alliance."

"Now you understand why only the Merchant Alliance has control over energy groups and can create spiritual equipment."

Tang Ning nodded, still puzzled. He had heard a little bit about the merchant alliance controlling the passage to another interface space, but it was not as detailed as what Yuan Tan said today.

Only now did he know that the reason why the Merchant Alliance was able to produce spiritual weapons was due to the Weapon Spirit Continent. No wonder it was difficult for other forces to get involved in this industry.

But the most puzzling thing for him is, what does this have to do with the Merchant Alliance recruiting an expedition team?According to Yuan Tan, Qi Ling Continent and the Merchant Alliance have established a long-term cooperative relationship, so why do they need to form an expedition team?
Expeditionary team, as soon as you hear the name, you know that they are going to fight. Does the Merchant Alliance establish an expeditionary team to start a war with the Artifact Clan?Why did Han Siyuan kiss him and go?

"Uncle Master, I still don't understand something."

"I know, you must be wondering what the expedition team is going to do. Don't worry, let me explain slowly." Yuan Tan continued.

"As I said just now, the Business Alliance and the Qi Ling Clan have a long-term cooperation. The Business Alliance exchanges energy groups from the Qi Ling Clan. In exchange, they need to give them a large amount of stone ore raw materials. The Qi Ling Clan can absorb them from the stone mines. The energy needed for spiritual practice was originally a thing that had the best of both worlds, and the cooperation between the two parties continued for many, many years.”

"But the Artifact Clan has not been at peace recently, making it difficult to carry out transactions. To put it simply, the Artifact Clan is experiencing civil strife."

"Similar to the human race, the Qi Ling Clan is not a piece of iron and a harmonious group. Within the human race there are organizations such as Xuanmen, Aristocratic Family, Chamber of Commerce, Netherworld Sea, Demon Sect, etc., and there are also various factions within the Qi Ling Clan."

"Originally, the people who have been cooperating with the Merchant Alliance are the Sunlight Tribe of the Artifact Spirit. Of course, this is what we call it. This Tribe of Artifact Spirits has signs similar to the sun pattern on their bodies, so we call them the Sunlight Tribe." The world is the most powerful force, but in recent years due to civil strife in the Qiling Clan, the Sunlight Clan has been unable to maintain this space channel."

"The area around that place has been occupied by the Qi Ling Clan rebel forces, cutting off our communication with the Sunlight Clan."

"Nowadays, the war is tense. The coalition forces need warships to fight the demons. All kinds of spiritual weapons and warships are provided by the merchant alliance. These require a large amount of energy groups to maintain."

"And the Merchant Alliance has been cut off from the trading channel with the Sunlight Tribe. As a result, the coalition forces will still lose. The Merchant Alliance's energy group inventory is now running low. It must find a way to open up the trading route with the Artifact Spirit Sunlight Tribe, otherwise All the coalition’s spiritual weapons will be out of stock.”

"After several discussions between the Xuanmen, the Aristocratic Family and the Merchant Alliance, they decided to mobilize elites from all parties to form an expedition team to go to the Artifact World."

"So that's it." After listening to him narrating the whole story, Tang Ning finally understood the purpose of the Merchant Alliance's organization of the expedition team: "May I ask Master Yuan, how many disciples of our sect have been designated by Palace Master Han to join the Merchant Alliance to form the expedition team?"

What he really wanted to know was why Han Siyuan transferred him to this expedition, and whether it was related to Lu Ziyou's kidnapping conflict, but he couldn't ask directly, so he could only make indirect insinuations.

If Han Siyuan ordered him to go alone, then he obviously had something to do with it.

Yuan Tan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with an expression that was half-smiling, and replied calmly: "I don't know whether Uncle Han ordered someone else. The order I received was to pick you up and take you to the headquarters and arrange for you to join the Merchant Alliance Expeditionary Force. "

Hearing this, Tang Ning's heart sank. Han Siyuan, as the master of Qingxuan Hall of Taixuan Sect and the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou Allied Forces, held a high position of authority, but he specially assigned the position of a Void Refining cultivator. Either he would be promoted or reused, or he would be retaliated.

The purpose of the Merchant Alliance Expedition Team is to fight for territory in the Artifact Realm. The dangers of this trip are unknown, but it is definitely not a good and stable job. It is obvious that Han Siyuan's move is to give him little shoes, probably because of Lu Ziyou's incident.

It must be that Lu Ziyou fell into the slander and had a bad impression of him, so he arranged this mission and left him to fend for himself in the Weapon Spirit World.

Otherwise, why was it such a coincidence that after the friction with Lu Ziyou, Liu Ruhan was demoted first, and then he was personally selected to join the expedition team.

Of course, he had heard about Han Siyuan for a long time. When chatting with other people in the sect, he would sometimes talk about the senior figures in the sect. When most people talked about Han Siyuan, they said he was elegant, easy-going, and approachable.

But there are also different voices in private, saying that Han Siyuan is generous on the outside but cautious on the inside. He is gentle on the surface, but in fact he is narrow-minded.

Everyone has a different appearance in the eyes of others. Tangning originally listened to these words casually and never took them to heart.

However, after this incident, he finally understood. Although he had never met Han Siyuan, he could roughly conclude that this person was somewhat narrow-minded.

Just because Lu Ziyou was his granddaughter's husband, and there was no unpleasantness among the younger generations, he just threw a pair of small shoes at him. This kind of behavior cannot be called tolerance and magnanimity in any case, nor does it have the slightest trace of the demeanor of an elder.

The dignified master of Qingxuan Hall of Taixuanzong actually intervened in the affairs of the junior Lianxu. Taixuanzong really has no one to use. He actually chose such a small-minded person as the future headmaster. It is obvious that the top officials of Taixuanzong are all such people. , how can it not decline?

Yuan Tan seemed to have read through his mind and added: "The news about you killing the grandson of King Qingjiao has been spread among the coalition forces. Uncle Han has also heard about it. He heard that the Qingjiao clan has issued a killing order for you to protect your safety. , so I transferred you from the front line to prevent you from being assassinated by the Qingjiao tribe. It happened that the Merchant Alliance was setting up an expedition team. You have outstanding abilities. It would be a waste of talent to stay at the headquarters. Therefore, Uncle Han ordered you to be transferred to the expedition team. On the one hand, You can hide from the pursuit of the Qingjiao Clan, and on the one hand, you can make great achievements."

Tang Ning sneered inwardly. This was obviously an excuse. As Han Siyuan, how could he pay so much attention to a Void Refining cultivator and even personally appoint him to join the expedition team?

Lu Ziyou must have been involved in the slander. Han Siyuan didn't like him, so he arranged for him to go to the spirit world.

Tangning kept a calm expression on her face and said yes, then asked, "Disciple, there is one more thing I don't know. Since the energy group is in the hands of the Merchant Alliance, why do demons have so many warships to use?"

"Not everyone in the Merchant Alliance supports the Xuanmen Alliance. Many people still hold the idea of ​​neutrality. At the beginning of the war, demons sent middlemen to buy spiritual weapons from them at high prices. Naturally, they turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. Sold, and some local chambers of commerce also have secret deals with the demons, so the demons also have a few warships that can be used."

While the two were chatting, the Lezi ship had already set off, leaving the legion station and heading northwest. (End of chapter)
