Chapter 497
Tang Ning said: "Senior Brother Lu has misunderstood. I don't want to get involved in managing these matters. I just want to take a look at the accounts and have an understanding of the department's funding."
Lu Guangdao: "Let's discuss this matter later! If Junior Brother Tang has no objections to this financial file report, let's stop here today."
Tangning knew that she couldn't rush into this matter and nodded: "I'll take my leave first."
After that, he stood up and left the room. Wei Xian sent him out of the cave, and saw him fleeing away. When he returned to the hall, he wondered: "Senior Brother Tang asked for the disclosure of the department's finances, but he didn't say anything. What does this mean?"
?”
Lu Guangdao: "He is waiting for the right time to attack. He knows that we are not a match for us if we come with open swords and real guns, so he is patient. When the time is right, he will take the opportunity to attack."
"Those accounts outside the sect?"
"Those are not secrets. If you must see them, then show them to him!"
Wei Xian nodded.
Tang Ning returned to the cave. Less than two hours later, his storage bag suddenly trembled. He took out the formation plate, pointed it at it, and took the talisman into his hand. However, it was Zhao Liheng who came to visit.
He fiddled with the array plate slightly, and thick fog rolled outside. Zhao Liheng flashed and entered, came to the assistant room and said, "Senior Brother Tang."
"You're here, sit down! Why are you here so late?"
"Last time, Senior Brother Tang asked me to send a letter to various intelligence stations to inquire about the pill recipe, and now there is a response." Zhao Liheng sat down as he was told, turned his left hand and took out a file: "This is from the South China Eastern Intelligence Station.
news."
Tang Ning took the file and opened it, but she saw it said: Disciple Cheng Yu reported to his uncle, after many inquiries, he has found the holder of the second-level elixir recipe. I would like to ask my uncle if he needs to contact him."
Seeing this, Tang Ning felt a little happy. He finally found the second-level elixir recipe. These days, he often thought about refining elixirs to improve his elixir level. Since he was in prison, the cost of elixirs was too high.
He emptied all his wealth.
If he can refine the Xiaoyang Pill, on the one hand, it can provide him with the needs of his cultivation, and on the other hand, he can also earn spiritual stones to avoid financial difficulties in the future, when he will no longer have spiritual weapons to sell.
But he suffers from the fact that there is no second-level elixir recipe, so he has never been able to start refining the elixir. The elixir department does have a recipe, but it may not be provided to an outsider, just in case he makes this request or that request.
Yes, do you agree or not?
It is better to ask for help than to ask for help yourself, so he asked Zhao Liheng to send letters to various intelligence stations to inquire about the second-level elixir formula. As long as he got the elixir formula, he could try to refine the vitality elixir.
Since he suffered the Sighing Tribulation, he has not been able to make any progress in his practice. In addition, the cost of elixirs required for irrigating fairy mother-of-pearl clams and small white snakes every day has meant that he is already short of spiritual stones. He has no choice but to sell ten high-grade spiritual weapons in exchange for 400,000 yuan.
Spiritual stones for emergency relief.
Fortunately, after he was released from prison, he could receive the sect's salary. With his current salary of six thousand spiritual stones per month plus the department's part, he would have an income of one hundred thousand spiritual stones a year, which was barely enough to support the cost of elixirs.
.
But as the saying goes, having too many skills is not a burden, let alone a pill that is a daily necessity for you!
Anyway, the cultivation level has encountered a bottleneck, and the fairy mother-of-pearl clam is now growing vigorously. In a few years, it is estimated that it will give birth to a rich clam. At that time, you can concentrate on refining elixirs and improving your elixir skills.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but you made a special trip to deliver it to me in the middle of the night." Tang Ning said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Tang is searching for elixirs to make elixirs himself? I didn't know that Senior Brother Tang knew how to use elixirs," Zhao Liheng said.
"I know a little bit about it, but my skills are not very advanced. In my early years, I studied the alchemy method for a few days in Jingbei. Later, I studied it for a while when I returned to the sect. However, in recent years, I have been busy with cultivation and have no time to study it anymore."
"Senior Brother Tang met Senior Brother Lu today, right? How was the conversation?"
"That's it! He showed me the department's accounts, which should be more credible, but he hasn't agreed to the accounts outside the sect."
Zhao Liheng wondered: "Why does Senior Brother Tang have to look at those accounts? I have also been in charge of finance for a while. If you want to know, I can write a file directly to you."
Tang Ning smiled and said, "You don't understand. Looking at the accounts is not the main thing. The important thing is that I have to get involved in this matter and restrain them so that they have no worries."
Zhao Liheng asked: "What is Senior Brother Tang's plan?"
Tang Ning said: "I am going to make a change in the department's finance department. I will clarify and plan the system for using finance. However, you have to eat one bite at a time and do things step by step. You can't rush this matter, you have to figure it out slowly."
Today in the ministry, we are still at a relative disadvantage and cannot rush into trouble, because after all, their own interests are involved."
"If you want to carry out financial reforms in the ministry, you must get the support of the majority of managers. But now Lu Guang has the upper hand. If I rashly raise this case, it will easily intensify the conflict and cause them to counterattack."
"Just be patient and wait for the opportunity to change."
The two talked for a while, and then Zhao Liheng said goodbye and left.
The next day, Tang Ning left the sect. After walking for less than two days, he came to a courtyard. As soon as he was out of sight, a man came towards him and bowed and saluted: "Disciple Wang Pu pays homage to Master Tang."
"Where's Cheng Yu! Let him come to see me immediately." Tang Ning said, this is the contact point for the Eastern South China Intelligence Station.
"Yes." Wang Pu responded, flying into the air with his flying sword.
Tang Ning walked into the room and sat cross-legged, waiting quietly.
About half a day later, footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and a man with a broad forehead and a broad face hurried in, bowed and saluted: "Disciple Cheng Yu pays homage to Master Tang."
Tang Ning said: "Yesterday, I received your message from Xuan Ying. I have a clue about the second-level elixir recipe, right? Who has it?"
Cheng Yu replied: "Since I received the message from my uncle, my disciple sent someone to inquire. There is a casual cultivator recruited in our station. He was originally acquainted with Meng Chengyuan, the son of the Meng family. When the two were having a banquet, that person
Meng Chengyuan once said that his family owns all the elixir recipes from Qi refining to foundation building, and his family has been training alchemists."
Tang Ning felt a little happy when she heard this. She had all the elixirs from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, that is to say, Yuanqi Dan, Strengthening Pill, and Xiaoyang Dan. It would be great. If she could get the second-level elixirs at once.
Having it in your pocket saves you from having to go back and forth looking for the recipe in the future.
"Are you sure? Meng Jiaguo has all the recipes for second-level elixirs."
Cheng Yu replied: "The disciple has not received orders from his uncle, so he has not investigated privately, but what he said should be good when I think about it. There are four foundation-building monks in the Meng family. Among them, Meng Aowei is a famous alchemist, and he is relatively unknown in South China."
Reputation. Just..."
"What's the matter? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Yes, the Meng family has already surrendered to the Demon Sect. Now the key members of the family have fled to the Wancong Mountain camp where the Demon Sect is stationed. Only some of the younger disciples with lower cultivation levels are left guarding the original property."
Tang Ning said: "Tell me first the specific situation of the Meng family, how many monks there are and what their cultivation level is."
"Yes." Cheng Yu responded: "The head of the Meng family, Meng Jingwei, is in the middle stage of foundation building. He has a son, Meng Chengyuan. The other three foundation building monks of the Meng family are Meng Aowei, Meng Jian, and Meng An."
"Among them, Meng An is also in the middle stage of foundation building. He has two sons, Meng Yan and Meng Jie. Meng Aowei has a daughter named Meng Tingwei. Meng Jian has no children, but he has a nephew named Meng Weixiang, who is very respected by him.
.”
Tangning nodded and said, "Are these people at Wancongshan Camp?"
"Yes, the Meng family only sent four or five juniors to guard their own property. Most of the other families bordering on his family's power have also defected to the Demon Sect. Some other families are afraid of the Demon Sect's revenge, so they will not openly seize their properties."
Tangning turned her left hand over, took out five middle-grade spiritual stones and handed them to him, "I will come back to you if anything happens."
"Thank you, uncle." Cheng Yu said happily as he took the spirit stone.
Tang Ning didn't say anything. She stood up and left the courtyard, turned into light and walked away. After walking for more than a day, she arrived at a Taoist temple on a barren mountain in the southern part of the Central Plains.
As soon as his light fell, two men came to greet him. Seeing that it was him, they quickly bowed and saluted.
Tangning said, "Where's the Crepe Dragon? Is it here?"
"Senior Crepe went out and has not returned yet." A man replied.
Tangning didn't say anything else, she went straight into the palace and ordered, "When he comes back, let him come see me."
"Yes." The two disciples responded.
This Taoist temple is the secret contact point of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station. After successfully establishing the foundation, Cree Yinglong has been specially responsible for infiltrating and lurking against the Demon Sect. The intelligence station has also arranged several manpower for him, one of which is to help him handle affairs.
The second is to supervise him.
At night, a ray of light shot out and fell into the courtyard, revealing the figure of a man, who was none other than the Crepe Yinglong.
A disciple hurriedly came forward and said: "Senior Crepe, Uncle Tang is here and waiting for you in the hall."
"Oh?" Cree Yinglong was slightly startled. He quickly came to the main hall and pushed the door open. When he saw Tang Ning sitting on the main seat, he bowed his head and said, "Tang Xianshi, why are you here?"
Tangning smiled slightly and said, "Yinglong! Long time no see."
Crane Yinglong said: "The former heard that you were released after serving your sentence and served as the inspector of the intelligence station. I have always wanted to go to pay a visit and congratulate you. Unfortunately, I am not a disciple of the Shangzong and cannot enter your sect. Tang Xianshi is here today and wants to
There must be something to tell you!"
Tang Ning said: "You are now the sole person in charge of the intelligence station. I came to you today to ask for your help with something."
Chu Yinglong said: "If you have anything to do with the Tang Immortal, just ask me. I have received your kindness in rescuing and supporting me, and I have never been able to repay you. Even if I die with swords and fire, I dare not say goodbye."
Tang Ning smiled and said, "It's not that serious. The Meng family in South China has something I want, but now they have defected to the Demon Sect, and their important members have all hid in the Wancong Mountain camp, leaving me unable to do anything. I think
