Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 452
Four months passed in a flash. On the twelfth of November, Tangning came to Baoxing Wuyun Pavilion early in the morning.

The woman in the attic came up to meet her, but she was no longer the woman from last time. She asked, "What do you need, Fellow Daoist?"

Tangning flipped her hands over and took out the number plate, "I've already paid for the spirit stones, and the fellow Taoists in the Guige want me to come here today."

"Where are fellow daoists going?"

"Newport."

"Follow me, please." The woman led them to a large open-air circular square, with two huge cargo ships in between.

Its body is one hundred feet long, twenty or thirty feet high, and the hull is golden. Each ship has a black muzzle of more than ten feet on the left and right sides, and the four characters of Baoxing Chamber of Commerce are flying on the flag on the bow.

One of the cargo ships was loaded with stone boxes.

At the four corners of the square, under the four pavilions, there are four monks sitting cross-legged, with a room in the middle.

The woman said: "Fellow Taoist, please wait in the room."

Tang Ning went straight to the room. Inside, an old man with white beard and hair was sitting cross-legged on the main seat, dressed in the costume of Baoxing Chamber of Commerce.

Below, there are three casual cultivators, two men and one woman, sitting cross-legged next to each other. It seems that they should be in the same group. All three of them are foundation-building practitioners.

Tangning walked in, and the three of them all glanced at him, but the old man in the main seat remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

He found a place to sit cross-legged, and not long after, several people entered one after another.

Until noon, a total of more than [-] people came to this room, each looking for a place to sit down.

Next to Tangning on the left was a man with a fair complexion. This guy was familiar. He came to sit beside him and smiled at him first, asking where he was going.

Tangning answered truthfully, and the man began to mutter.

"Oh, Xingang, I have been there once, and that place is not very good! I have been to Broken Ridge Mountain Square City and wanted to buy some cultivation materials, but there were none. You know, those things are in Fire Ape Island. It’s not everywhere, but if you want to buy it, it’s relatively easy.”

Afterwards, he continued to talk about his travels in Xingang, from Xingang to Fire Ape Island, Tangning only politely agreed a few times.

Seeing that Tang Ning was not very enthusiastic, the man turned to communicate with another man on the left side of him. Both of them were going to Fire Ape Island, so they had a lot of common topics and chatted endlessly.

Everyone waited in the room for about half an hour. A tall and straight man dressed in the costume of Baoxing Chamber of Commerce came in from the outside, went straight to the old man on the main seat and said, "Old Chen, the cargo ship has arrived."

The old man opened his eyes and nodded, got up and walked out of the house.

"Fellow daoists, the cargo ship has arrived, come with us!" said the man.

Everyone followed him and filed out, jumped onto the dharma boat loaded with many stone boxes, and the old man entered the cabin.

Not long after, the hull of the ship rumbled loudly, the whole ship shook, the brilliance of the hull flowed, soared into the sky, crossed the attic, and walked to the front of the light curtain, waiting for a while.

Soon, the light curtain melted a huge gap, and the cargo ship came out of the light curtain. After traveling less than ten miles, I saw a huge dark black ship hovering in the sky.

The big ship was about four to five hundred feet in size and fifty feet high, with black rays of light circulating all over it. On the left and right sides, there were seven or eight cannons of more than ten feet in size. The side of the ship was full of monks holding crossbows.

The whole ship was shrouded in a huge cyan light curtain, on which many runes circulated, and the four big characters of Baoxing Chamber of Commerce were written on the flag at the bow and stern.

It looks like a small wind spirit ship.

The two ships got closer, the old man stepped out of the cabin, and with a wave of his hand, a talisman was passed into the light curtain.

The gap in the light curtain melted, and the old man flashed, jumped onto the big ship, walked into its cabin, and walked out after a while. At that time, all the light curtains on the big ship had disappeared.

The old man waved to everyone on the small boat, and the monks of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce on the small boat each carried stone boxes and carried them all to the big boat.

Everyone also followed the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce personnel to the big ship, and the guards in full armor and holding crossbows didn't seem to see them.

When everyone arrived on the big ship, the old man ordered: "Follow this transport ship. When you arrive at the place, someone will remind you that the ship will not stop until you reach the destination. You can walk around on the ship, but you are not allowed to enter the cabin. Yes, remember that private fighting is not allowed on board, and those who violate it will be killed without mercy."

Everyone nodded and said yes, after working for an hour, the people of Baoxing Chamber of Commerce finally moved all the goods from the small boat to the big boat, and moved a few large stone boxes from the big boat to the small boat.

After the handover between the two parties, the cyan light curtain on the big ship condensed again, and with a loud rumbling sound, it sailed towards the northwest.

Sitting on the deck, Tang Ning watched the green mountains pass by swiftly under his feet, but he couldn't feel any turbulence from the wind. The big ship was extremely stable, as if walking on flat ground. Apart from the brilliance flowing around him and the roaring sound, he didn't feel any vibration at all.

All around are guards with armor and crossbows, and the deck is full of large and small stone boxes.

All are guarded by special guards, and idlers are not allowed to approach.

In less than two days, the big ship sailed out of Xuanyi Island, and the lush mountains below became an endless sea.

After traveling at sea for nearly a month, the big ship came to Fire Ape Island and stopped above a mountain range.

A man dressed in the costume of Baoxing Chamber of Commerce came out of the cabin and said, "Fire Ape Island is here, fellow Taoists who want to disembark come here."

There was spiritual power in his voice, which was heard clearly in everyone's ears. Soon, more than a dozen figures came to the man's side and handed the number plates to him one by one.

The man took the number plate, flipped it with his left hand, took out a booklet, compared them one by one, and then entered the cabin, a gap was melted in the light curtain, everyone's figures flashed, they got out of the big ship, and went straight.

About a quarter of an hour later, a golden boat came rapidly from the northeast, exactly the same as the boat in Baoxing Wutong Pavilion on Xuanyi Island.

The boat was loaded with a lot of goods, and the two boats were lined up side by side. A beam of light shot from the boat, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

He went straight into the cabin, came out after a while, and waved to everyone on the boat.

The monks of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce on the small boat moved the goods to the big boat, and moved a lot of goods from the cabin of the big boat to the small boat.

After working for a long time, after the delivery of the goods was completed, the big ship set off again, sailed for several days, and left Fire Ape Island.

Sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat, Tang Ning only focused on cultivating every day. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. The transport ship passed Fire Ape Island, then transferred to the old port, and finally arrived at the new port.

On this day, the weather was clear and cloudless.

The big ship was moored on the lush mountain range, and a man stepped out of the cabin and shouted, "The last stop is Xingang, fellow Taoists who want to disembark come here."

Tangning got up, and with a flash of light, she came to him, took out the stone tablet and handed it to him.

Apart from the staff of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce, there were only three people left on the entire dharma boat, an old man with white beard and hair, and a middle-aged woman, all of whom were at the foundation establishment stage.

The man took the stone tablets from the three of them, glanced at the book, nodded, and returned to the cabin. Soon, a gap was formed in the light curtain, and the three of them left the big ship in a flash, each disappearing into the distance.

Tang Ning traveled all the way north. Ten days later, she returned to the Luoyun Mountains. First, she came to the Zhuxu Cave Mansion. With a wave of her hand, the talisman floated into the cave mansion.

Not long after, the thick fog cleared, and a tall and broad man walked out. It was Tao Yong, Zhu Xu's disciple, who bowed to Tangning and saluted, "Master Tang, Master invites you to enter."

The two came to the main room one after the other, and Zhu Xu smiled slightly when he saw him return: "Junior Brother Tang, you are finally back."

Tang Ning said, "I was separated from Master Luo and the others earlier, so it was delayed for a while."

Zhu Xu said: "I already know about this matter. When Uncle Luo and others returned to the sect, they said that you had been killed, and sent people to the intelligence department to check whether you have any relatives and descendants, and to give compensation. I also thought you He was really killed!"

"It wasn't until Junior Brother Zhao went to the Internal Affairs Department to collect your soul stone that he discovered that your soul stone was still on, which meant that he was not dead."

"I immediately reported the news to the head, and he was quite relieved to hear that you were not killed."

"And said that if you are not dead, you will definitely return to the sect on your own and let you go to see him."

"It's a long story. I was hit by the aftermath of the shell that day..." Tangning told the whole story, only saying that she was seriously injured and drifted with the waves, hiding the treasure hunting process with Qinglinzi and the others.

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "It's good to come back, you can go to see the head yourself after a while!"

Tangning said, "It's been four or five years since I left the sect. I don't know how the outside world is doing now?"

Zhu Xu said: "No big changes. During the period, the Demon Sect sent people to ask for peace, but the sect refused. Afterwards, several small conflicts broke out, and there were no major casualties. At present, the sect is still stationed in the camp of Yingxia Mountain , facing the Demon Sect's camp at a distance."

"If you want to talk about major events, there are two things. One is that the Qingyang Sect's camp was breached, and Shen Wen, the master of the Qingxuan Palace, was killed. The second is that our sect has added a new Golden Core cultivator."

"Oh? Who is it?" Tangning asked. It has been more than a hundred years in Qianyizong that no one has achieved a golden alchemy. He did not expect that someone would successfully form a golden alchemy during his absence.

"It's Senior Brother Yin Qingyuan of Zhili, the head of the sect, who successfully formed an alchemy three months ago, and is now a golden alchemy monk."

"It's him." Tangning was slightly startled. She was a little surprised. She went to the Qinghai Islands together with the others, and formed an alchemy within two years after returning, but after thinking about it, it seemed reasonable again.

Yin Qingyuan was originally one of the most prestigious disciples in the sect, and he was the most promising candidate for alchemy. As early as when Tang Ning was still in the early stage of foundation establishment, he had been in the late stage of foundation establishment for many years.

Now that so many years have passed, he must have already reached the foundation establishment Dzogchen, and it is not surprising to be able to form alchemy.
