Zhu Xu said: "Senior brother Yin has been in seclusion since he returned to the sect. Three months ago, he tried to attack the golden elixir and succeeded. This matter has been a sensation in the sect for a while. After so many years, the sect finally has someone.

He was promoted to Jindan again, and even I went to his cave to congratulate him."

"Currently, he has been transferred from Zhili, the head of the sect, to Qingxuan Hall, where he has been appointed as the steward. He is mainly responsible for the transfer of all the disciples of the sect."

"Transferred to Qingxuan Hall? Is this what the leader meant?" Tang Ning asked. This transfer seemed ordinary, but it actually had a deeper meaning.

Wei Xuande has stopped at the late stage of Jindan and has not made any progress for many years. No one knows how much life he has left. Who will be the leader? Luo Qingshui, the master of Xuande Hall who is more advanced in cultivation, or the powerful one.

Deep-rooted, the original designated successor, the master of Qingxuan Hall, was named after him.

This is the most concerning issue for the middle and upper-level disciples of the sect, and the two men have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time.

Yin Qingyuan was originally from Zhili, the head of the clan, and was undoubtedly a close confidant of Wei Xuande. Now that he successfully formed the elixir and was transferred to the Qingxuan Hall, it shows that Wei Xuande supported Shi Mingsui in his heart. This actually showed an attitude.

That is to say, after he abdicated, Shi Mingsui took over as the headmaster, and Yin Qingyuan naturally took over as the head of Qingxuan Hall.

"How could Senior Brother Yin be transferred to Qingxuan Hall without the approval of the head master?" Zhu Xu said.

"It seems that the head still supports Uncle Shi!"

"That's natural. The leader was originally promoted from the master of Qingxuan Palace. Of course he is not willing to break this rule. Besides, he and Uncle Shi have always been very close."

Tang Ning remained silent. He didn't like Shi Mingsui from the bottom of his heart. In fact, there was no irreconcilable conflict between the two. With his current cultivation ability, even if Shi Mingsui became the head teacher

, and will not deliberately embarrass him.

In the final analysis, Shi Mingsui had a very bad impression on him back then. Not to mention the behavior of a dignified master of Qingxuan Hall who ignored his status to protect his calf, but simply because he bullied the younger ones and directly confronted him in front of everyone in Qianxing Hall.

A qi-refining disciple of the sect cut off one of his legs with cruel hands. This alone is disgusting.

Thinking of that day, he still felt aggrieved.

Zhu Xu saw that he was silent and said: "These things are not something we can control. When the time comes, we will just cast our votes. There is another thing. Junior Brother Lu Guang is back and was sent to Yingya

Went to Shan Camp."

"Oh? Isn't he in Jining Island? How did he come back?"

"He has broken through the bottleneck and reached the late stage of foundation building, so he applied to be transferred back. He returned to the sect a year ago."

Lu Guang has broken through to the late stage of foundation building, but it's a little late. If it had been a few years earlier, he would have been the deacon of the Intelligence Department, and now the overall situation has been decided.

However, compared to the position of deacon, breaking through the late stage of foundation building and having the possibility of attacking the golden elixir are more important than anything else.

"That side of Jiyuan Island?"

"I asked Junior Sister Xu Yao to go."

Tang Ning nodded. Xu Yao had been very neutral in the department since her breakthrough in foundation building, so she might as well send him to Jining Island.

Jining Island is a large island in Qinghai. Although it has unlimited opportunities, it also has unlimited risks. Lu Guang has never been able to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation, so he risked his life and went there to try his luck.

But Xu Yao has no bottleneck to worry about, and going to Jining Island feels like exile.

The two talked for a long time, and Tang Ning said goodbye and left. Not long after walking, he came to Wei Xuande's Cave in Qianxing Mountain. He waved his hand and waved the talisman to enter.

Around tea time, when the thick fog rolled in, a ray of light shot out from inside and landed in front of Tang Ning, revealing the figure of a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. It was none other than Wei Xuande's disciple Zhuang Xingqian: "Junior brother Tang, you are indeed You are not dead. After hearing Senior Brother Zhu’s report last time, Master said that if you had not died, you would definitely find a way to come back."

"Yes. I was seriously injured at that time and was in a coma for a period of time. Therefore, I missed schedule with Uncle Peng and others. This time I returned to the sect and came here to report to the leader."

"Let's go! Master is waiting for you!" Zhuang Xin said. The two entered the cave, passed through several paths, and came to a green lake. Wei Xuande was leaning on the railing, feeding the fish in the lake. .

"Disciple pays homage to the master." Tang Ning stepped forward and bowed in salute. He had long heard that Wei Xuande had this weird hobby. He liked to feed fish and tease birds when he had nothing to do. When he saw him today, it turned out to be true.

Wei Xuande dropped all the bait in his hand, clapped his hands, turned around and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good luck later on. Tang Ning, if you can escape this disaster, it means you are a lucky person!"

After not seeing him for several years, Wei Xuande's face seemed much older. There were obvious wrinkles on his face, and it was obvious that he did not have long to live.

Tang Ning remembered the first time she met him, about a hundred years ago. At that time, she was still a disciple of the Herbology Department on the second level of Qi Refining. At that time, he was already a late-stage Jindan cultivator. Although his beard and hair were all white at that time, He has strong energy and blood and a ruddy complexion, but he is now an octogenarian.

"Thanks to the leader Hong Fu, although the disciple was affected by the residual power of the Yuanci cannon, fortunately he did not die." Tang Ning told the whole story.

Wei Xuande nodded: "Go back and ask Xuande Palace to give you a subsidy of 20,000 spirit stones to help you return to the sect this time."

"Thank you, Master."

"We are old, and Qian Yizong will rely on rising stars like you in the future. Now is a troubled time, and a new era is about to begin. The fate of Qian Yizong and where to go is up to you." Wei Xuande said with a smile.

"That's when the leader was in his prime."

Wei Xuande waved his hand: "Don't people know it? My life span is not long, and I will stop here in this life, but it's okay. Qian Yizong was not destroyed in my hands, and I was reincarnated under Jiuquan. At least you won’t be embarrassed to see your ancestors, Tang Ning, how long have you been in the sect?”

"This disciple joined the sect that Dao Ding entered in 635, and it has been one hundred and twenty years now."

Wei Xuande sighed: "One hundred and twenty years is not a short period of time. Four generations of my ancestors have been disciples of the sect. To me, the Qianyi Sect is not only a sect, but also a family. Over the years, my most important What I'm worried about is that the sect will be defeated at my hands, and it's time to let go of this burden."

When Tang Ning heard this, she was shocked. Wei Xuande's words seemed to mean abdication, so she asked, "Does the leader mean to retire?"

Wei Xuande smiled but did not answer: "Have you heard about Yin Qingyuan's elixir formation?"

"Yes, I was in Senior Brother Zhu Xu's cave just now. I heard from him that the sect has gained another Golden Elixir cultivator, which is really gratifying and congratulatory."

"Yes! What a blessing. Originally, I was worried about the sect's lack of talent. After all, there has been no golden elixir cultivator for more than a hundred years. Now it seems that I don't need to worry too much. It is the generation of talented people from all over the world. I have been leading the way for hundreds of years. I will leave the Qian Yizong to you, the younger generations! I hope you can make the family more prosperous."

Speaking of this, Wei Xuande laughed at himself: "What we can't do, we can only entrust to you. But having said that, even if the Qian Yizong is destroyed one day, it won't be a big deal. Push forward for thousands of years. , there is no one from the Ganyi Sect in the world."

Hearing the heroic words and a hint of pathos in these words, Tang Ning was shocked in her heart and was speechless for a moment.

Wei Xuande smiled and said: "When people get old, they always like to chatter and talk to everyone. You go ahead!"

"Yes, disciple, take your leave." Tang Ning left the lakeside and returned to her cave to rest for the night.

The next day, he went to the Department directly under the Secret Academy to collect his salary for the past few years. Around noon, the disciples of Yuan Yidian found him and gave him 20,000 spiritual stones.

At nightfall, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the cave. The storage bag on his waist suddenly trembled. He took out the formation plate, flicked it slightly, and took the talisman into his hand. When his consciousness entered, a rich man's voice sounded in his mind, but It was Xu Qiyuan who came to pay his respects.

Outside the cave, a tall, broad-shouldered man with a thick waist and a tiger-like head with thick eyebrows and big eyes saw the thick fog dissipating. He quickly entered the inner room, walked through the front yard, walked forward to the main room, and faced Tang Ning, who was sitting cross-legged inside. He bowed and saluted: "Disciple Xu Qiyuan has met Master Tang."

Tang Ning smiled slightly. He had not seen Xu Yuanqi since he entered the sect. Decades had passed. Unexpectedly, the little boy with delicate features at the beginning was now a tall and burly man, taller than him in terms of head. cut.

"Not bad! In just twenty or thirty years, I have already reached the ninth level of Qi refining. It seems that I have not fallen behind in practice in these years, and I am much better than I was back then."

Xu Qiyuan replied: "How can I dare to compare my disciple's cultivation level with my uncle's? This is all thanks to my uncle's blessing. I have not encountered many obstacles in my path of cultivation."

"Cultivation is your own business and has nothing to do with others. Your ability to cultivate to where you are today depends entirely on your own luck."

"If it weren't for my uncle's kindness back then, my disciple would be nothing more than an ordinary person, and how could he be where he is today."

Tangning waved her hand: "Some trivial matters are not worth mentioning. You came to me, but something happened?"

Xu Qiyuan said: "My disciple heard that my uncle was missing and sent a message to my aunt. She was very concerned about my uncle's safety and replied to me. If my uncle returns to the clan, I need to send a message to her. Today I heard that my uncle is back. I don't know whether it is true or not. , so I take the liberty of disturbing you late at night."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to fellow Taoist Xu. It's hard for her to miss me as an old friend."

"Uncle Master, I have a heartfelt request, I hope you can grant it."

"Tell me! What's the matter?"

"Disciple hopes to be transferred to Silver Fox Intelligence Station."

"Oh? Isn't it good to practice peacefully in the sect? Why do you have to go to the Silver Fox Intelligence Station? I remember more than ten years ago, when I was still the director of the intelligence station, you should mention it to fellow Taoist Xu once!"

"This..." Xu Qiyuan said: "This disciple feels that the sect is too boring, and he can gain knowledge outside."

"The intelligence station is much more boring than the sect. You stay in the basement all day long. Didn't you spend some time there?"

Xu Qiyuan hesitated and couldn't be right.

Seeing his appearance, Tang Ning couldn't help but feel suspicious: "Have you talked to fellow Taoist Xu about this matter? What did she say?"

Xu Qiyuan said: "My aunt allows me to practice in the sect with peace of mind. I think you have a relationship with her and she has always trusted you. If you agree, she will not object."

Tang Ning said: "Silver Fox Intelligence Station has a limited number of personnel, so you can't just go there casually. Let me think about this matter. You can go first!"

"Yes, disciple, please retire." Xu Qiyuan exited the room and left the cave.

Tang Ning frowned slightly. Why did Xu Qiyuan want to go to the Silver Fox Intelligence Station? It's not that he was suspicious, it was because his behavior was too suspicious.
