Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 295 Coercion
Speaking of this, Lu Xingxian's meaning is obvious, he already knows the origin of this ant egg.

Tangning was slightly startled, but it wasn't because he knew the details of the ant eggs. As the head of the intelligence department, everything he did in South China, including investigating the Yang family and the Qi family, the local intelligence station would definitely report.

In addition to asking Qiu Yuan for advice on the cultivation and incubation of spirit beasts, anyone who is not a fool can guess the connection.

What surprised him was that those mysterious ants ran out of the bottom of Changliu Lake. Why did they suddenly come out after living in it for so many years?
After thinking for a while, he figured out the key point, presumably because of the death of the queen ant, the chaos of the ant colony, and the fact that all the food they ate was collected by him, so they bumped around like headless flies.

This thing is not easy to deal with, there are groups of them, without a dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators, there is no way to contend, and South China is probably in chaos at this moment.

Tangning remained calm, "There is such a thing? I have never heard of it."

Lu Xingxian said: "Junior Brother Qiu Yuan got the news and came to the intelligence department to find you, saying that you had the egg of this monster on your body. Later, he went to South China himself, but he has not returned to the sect yet."

Tang Ning said: "It turns out that the egg shell I picked up by accident was the egg of that monster. It seems that I have to go to South China to see what kind of monster it is, so as not to hatch the egg shell into a spirit beast in the future, but I don't know The origin, spread out to make people laugh."

"This is a rhinoceros ant. Its whole body is dark black, and its whole body is as strong as steel. Its sharp teeth can destroy gold and stones. It eats everything. The tentacles on its forehead are extremely large, similar to rhinoceros horns, so it is called rhinoceros ant. It lives in groups. He is very famous in the world of spirit beasts." Lu Xingxian said, in fact, he didn't know the ways of spirit beasts, what he just said was what Qiu Yuan told him.

Qiu Yuan had a disciple who was on a business trip and passed by South China. When he heard the news, he told him when he came back.

Based on his disciple's description, Qiu Yuan deduced that it was a monster rhinoceros ant.

He immediately thought of the monster ant egg that Tangning asked him to appreciate. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Ant egg shells.

He quickly realized that the ant egg was the egg of the rhinoceros ant, so he went to the intelligence department to find Tangning.

Tangning left the sect early, so he found Lu Xingxian, and after Lu Xingxian asked him, he told him about it.

Listening to what he said, Lu Xingxian knew that the rhinoceros ant was an extremely rare thing, and he couldn't help coveting it, wanting to get the ant eggs and raise them himself.

He had already heard that Tang Ning had a spirit beast that had advanced soon, and even attracted thunder and punishment to come to the world.

It is conceivable that this spirit beast must be an extremely rare species, so that it can attract heaven's punishment when it advances.Now there is another rhinoceros ant egg, why did this kid run into all good things by himself.

He was jealous and envious in his heart, as a deacon of the intelligence department, he was not as good as one of his subordinates, which made him resentful and helpless.

Now that you have such a rare second-order spirit beast, you can hand over the rhinoceros ant egg shell to yourself!

He was not in a hurry. Knowing that Tangning would go back to the sect to collect funds for the intelligence station, he waited for a while, and then took the initiative to bring the topic to the spirit beast. The purpose was for the rhinoceros ant egg.

Tang Ning said, "It turned out to be a rhinoceros ant. When I got this ant egg, there was indeed a black ant corpse next to it. Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, for letting me know. I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute." Seeing that he was about to leave, Lu Xingxian said, "Junior Brother Tang, do you intend to sell this ant egg? I have practiced with spirit beasts for many years, and I have always wanted to have a spirit beast by my side. There is no chance. Brother Tang, if he does not lack spirit beasts, can he give up his love, I know this thing is rare, and in terms of spirit stones, I will definitely not lose you."

"Senior Brother Lu is serious. A mere egg of a monster is nothing, but I have signed a contract with this ant egg using a secret method. Even if I send it to Senior Brother Lu, it will be useless," Tangning said.

Naturally, he would not hand over the ant eggs to Lu Xingxian. He spent so much money and almost lost his life to get them, so how could he give them to others.

"If that's the case, then let's go!" Lu Xingxian didn't know the law of the contract, and Qiu Yuan didn't tell him about it, so he didn't know how to respond.

"Okay." Tangning responded and left the cave, and came to the Finance Department of the Ministry of Finance.

A disciple on duty in the hall was sitting cross-legged and practicing with his eyes closed. When he sensed someone approaching, he opened his eyes and saw that it was Tangning. He hurriedly got up and saluted, "Uncle Tang, what can I order?"

"Senior brother Chen Xuan is here?"

"Uncle Chen is no longer in the palace, do you need a disciple to invite him?"

"Go!"

"Yes." The disciple took the order and left.

Not long after, a ray of light entered the hall, the brilliance dissipated, and now there was an old man with white head, it was Chen Xuan.

"Senior brother Chen, I'm here to collect the funds for this site."

Chen Xuan nodded, and found a storage bag and a certificate in his hand: "This is the funding approved by the sect for your intelligence station, just sign this document."

Tangning took the storage bag, signed and pledged the terms, left the finance hall, came to a cave, and handed Zhang Chuan Yinfu in.

The dense fog in front of the mansion cleared, and he walked to the main room of the cave mansion. An old man with a bright head got up and greeted him with a smile: "Junior Brother Tang, why are you here?"

This person is none other than Du Yuankai, the former director of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station.

"This time I went back to the sect to collect funds for the intelligence station, and I came here to pay a visit to Senior Brother Du."

"Junior Brother Tang must go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything! Please speak up if you have anything to say." Du Yuankai said with a smile.

Before the old boy left, he blackmailed himself and took away the remaining funds from the station. Now that he saw him without blushing and heartbeat, he talked and laughed freely, as if nothing happened. Tangning had to admire his thick skin.

Don't say you can't do it if you change yourself, even if you do it, you will always feel guilty and embarrassed!But it can be seen that there is no trace of guilt in his appearance, on the contrary, it seems that he has cheated on him and asked him for something.

"It's not a big deal. The station's funds are a bit tight, and even the salaries of the disciples can't be paid out. Fellow Daoist Xu and I have no choice but to change the salary to every two years. In half a year, the station is going to apply for Lingshi subsidy from the sect. By then I also hope that Senior Brother Du will speak kindly to Senior Brother Lu, you are an old man from the Silver Fox Intelligence Station and a person that Senior Brother Lu trusts, I am soft-spoken, and your words are better than mine."

"Oh, this matter!" Du Yuankai was silent.

"Could it be that Senior Brother Du is in trouble?" Tangning frowned slightly. This old boy was too dishonest. He embezzled the funds for the intelligence station. Buckle up, reluctantly.

Du Yuankai asked back: "Brother Tang, have you seen Brother Lu?"

"I see, what's wrong?"

"Didn't he talk to you about anything?"

"What does Senior Brother Du mean? Please tell me clearly."

"It's just the two of us here, out of my mouth, into your ears, you might as well open the skylight to speak, some words may not be very pleasant to hear, Junior Brother Tang doesn't mind if I tell you the truth!"

"Brother Du, please tell me."

"I heard that you have successfully advanced a spirit beast, and obtained a monster egg shell in South China. I wonder if this is true?"

Tang Ning frowned. Du Yuankai asked what he meant by that. He had one or two spirit beasts by his side. It was none of their business. Why did everyone come to ask? Could it be that he also wanted to get a foot in and get the ant eggs?
"That's right, it's true. What's the matter? What's wrong?"

"As I expected, you got the monster egg from South China. You got it when you investigated the monks of the Demon Sect, didn't you?"

"Yes, I accidentally picked up this egg when I was investigating the monks of the Demon Sect in South China. Does this have anything to do with the intelligence station's application for Lingshi subsidies? Could it be that because I got this egg, the sect stopped giving subsidies to the intelligence station? This is Why?"

Du Yuankai heard the anger in his words, and smiled: "Junior Brother Tang, don't get angry, of course it doesn't matter, but, what is a sect? It is not composed of a single person. To be honest, even the sect's laws and regulations must be It depends on the execution, and if ordinary disciples violate the laws and regulations, there will naturally be punishments from the Discipline Division and the Supervision Department."

"If the Lords of the Three Palaces violated the regulations, who would dare to blame them? The so-called regulations are not decided by people, let alone matters related to financial interests, it is even more unclear."

"You have your reasons, and he has his reasons. In the end, it's not whoever is in charge has the final say."

Tangning frowned and said, "What is Senior Brother Du trying to say? If you have something to say, you don't need to talk about it."

Du Yuankai said: "Spiritual stone subsidy is not a rigid rule of the sect. It can be given to you or not. The key depends on your ability. This ability does not mean how high your cultivation base is or how strong your supernatural powers are." .It’s about your relationship with the key people who hold the power of the sect? It’s up to them to decide whether to grant Lingshi subsidy or not.”

"For our intelligence station, we must first establish a good relationship with Senior Brother Lu. After all, he is the deacon of the department. If he can't make it through, everything will be over."

Tangning said, "It's precisely because Senior Brother Lu trusts you that I'm here to ask you for a few words of kindness."

Du Yuankai said: "Actually, why should Junior Brother Tang seek distance? Instead of letting me attack from the side, it is better to take the initiative. If Senior Brother Lu senses your sincerity, he will definitely not intentionally embarrass you."

"Let's understand that we don't speak dark words. Brother Lu does have some prejudice against you, but it's not against you. The main reason is that someone is making trouble in the department and making him unhappy. There is something going on right now. If Brother Tang can listen to me, In the future, there will be no problem for the intelligence station to apply for Lingshi subsidies."

"Senior Brother Du is talking about the ant eggs!" Tangning sneered, she was waiting for her here!It seems that they have discussed it for a long time, and they want to use this matter to force themselves to submit. These people are too shameless to act.

Du Yuankai smiled: "That's right, senior brother Lu told me many times that he is very fond of spirit beasts, and he often wants a spirit beast by his side, but has never been able to get one. Since Senior Brother Tang has a rare spirit beast, why not?" Give him the ant eggs to show your sincerity. If you think he won't treat you badly, and you can get his gratitude, you will naturally help me with the intelligence station's spirit stone subsidy in the future, so why not do it?"

"So, if I don't give him the ant eggs, I won't be able to apply for the Lingshi subsidy?"

"You can't say that. Brother Tang might as well think about it from another angle. An ant egg can be exchanged for the gratitude of Senior Brother Lu and the subsidy of Lingshi. It can be said to be beneficial and harmless."
