The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, in the middle plains, in the remote mountains and forests.

Two rays of light shot towards them, revealing two figures, one with a delicate face, the other with a tall and straight figure, with regular features, it was Tang Ning and Wei Xian.

After Tang Ning proposed Wei Xian to replace Du Yuankai in the meeting hall, he wrote a file and reported it to the sect that day. Within a few days, Qingxuan Palace received an approval, agreeing to the appointment, so the two left the sect and went to work.

It took three days to arrive here.

As soon as the two of them escaped from the light, the disciples guarding the secret whistle came up to them, bowed and saluted: "Uncle Tang."

"This is Junior Brother Wei Xian, the new chief who is about to take office. Please take us to the station!"

"Yes." The disciple looked up at Wei Xian and responded, leading the two of them into the basement, to Du Yuankai's room, and knocked on the stone door.

"Come in."

Tang Ning pushed the door open and walked in. Inside, Du Yuankai and Xu Qingwan were sitting opposite each other, discussing something. When they saw him arriving, they stood up to greet him.

"Tang Xianshi." Xu Qingwan greeted, Tang Ning nodded slightly, and Wei Xian's eyes lit up when he saw her appearance behind him.

Du Yuankai smiled and said: "Senior Brother Tang and Junior Brother Wei are here, there must be good news!"

Tang Ning said: "The sect has appointed Junior Brother Wei as the head of the intelligence station. Junior Brother Du, please stay here to take over the affairs. Return to the sect after Junior Brother Wei is familiar with the affairs."

"Okay." Du Yuankai nodded.

"Junior Brother Wei, let me introduce to you. This is Fellow Taoist Xu Qingwan. From now on, she will assist you in handling the affairs of the intelligence station. She is an old man in this station, and she is older than me! Is there anything you don't understand about the affairs of the intelligence station in the future?

You can ask her for advice."

Wei Xian said: "Fellow Taoist Xu, I have admired your name for a long time, and I hope you can count on me in the future."

Xu Qingwan said: "Wei Xian is so polite. You are the person in charge of this station. If you have any questions, just give me instructions."

Tang Ning said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, from now on our titles will be changed. The sect has approved you to join the sect. You and I will return to the sect later and after handling the relevant matters, you will be an official disciple of the sect.

"

Xu Qingwan's expression did not change, she nodded slightly and said hello.

"Junior Brother Du, call the disciples from this station! I want to announce the appointment."

"Okay." Du Yuankai responded, turned around and left the room. Not long after, all the disciples had gathered. Tang Ning immediately announced the appointment of the sect and then went to the stone room to rest.

Early the next morning, he called Xu Qingwan, and they left the intelligence station together. After walking for two days, they returned to the sect. After reporting to the Mountain Protection Section, Tang Ning led her directly to the palace of the Affairs Section of the Internal Affairs Bureau.

In front of the pavilion.

"I don't know which uncle he is, what do you want me to do?" When the disciples in the hall saw him, they hurriedly came forward and bowed to him.

"I am Tang Ning from the Intelligence Department. I have been ordered by the sect to bring the new disciples who have joined the sect to hand over and register. Is Junior Brother Feng here?"

The disciple glanced at Xu Qingwan and quickly lowered his head: "Uncle Feng is on the second floor. Please follow me."

The two followed him to the second floor of the attic. In the center sat a man with a full beard and cheeks. When he noticed someone coming, he opened his eyes and saw Tang Ning. He stood up to greet her and said, "Senior Brother Tang is here.

How come you are here in person?"

Tang Ning turned her hand over and took out a piece of paper and handed it to him: "Junior Brother Feng, this is the sect's order. I am leading my disciple Xu Qingwan here to hand over and register the identity information."

Feng Chu took the article and glanced at it, then looked at Xu Qingwan behind him, and said with a smile: "The Intelligence Department is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! A beauty like Xu Daoyou, who has won the country and the city, and has advanced cultivation, can be in this sect.

I can’t find anyone else, so it’s a great blessing for our sect to have Fellow Daoist Xu join us!”

Tang Ning smiled and said nothing, while Xu Qingwan had no expression on her face.

Feng Chu flipped over with his left hand, took out a file, paper and pen, and asked: "How many years is Xu Daoyou born in?"

"Daoding 629."

"When will you start practicing?"

"Daoding 641."

"Why do you want to enter spiritual practice? Do you have a teacher or a family to teach you..."

Feng Chu asked him in detail about his origins, etc., then he put away the file, turned it over with his hand, took out a scroll, and unfolded it between the two of them, with dense red names written on it: "Fellow Daoist Xu printed a little blood essence.

, write your name!”

Xu Qingwan did as she was told, cut her palm open, and wrote her name at the bottom of the scroll.

A ferocious-looking ghost appeared in the file and sucked her finger.

After a long time, the ghost head disappeared. Xu Qingwan's face turned pale and she looked very weak.

Feng Chu put away the scroll and took out a dark stone: "This is the Life Soul Stone. Please leave a trace of blood essence on it, Fellow Daoist!"

Xu Qingwan dripped blood from her hand onto it, and the Life Soul Stone burst into red light and suddenly disappeared.

The Life Soul Stone actually signs a contract with the ghosts and gods that absorb souls, and leaves part of one's soul in a jade stone made of special materials. Therefore, the life and death of the monk can be checked through the Life Soul Stone.

If the monk dies, part of the soul left behind by the Life Soul Stone will naturally disappear.

It is worth mentioning that as the monk's own cultivation becomes stronger and his soul becomes stronger, the process of extracting the soul will be more harmful to him. Therefore, the disciples of the sect all leave part of their soul behind when they first transform from the mortal world.

Since the disciples who have just transformed from the mortal world are not high in cultivation and their souls are not strong, absorbing their souls will not cause much harm to them.

If you are a Jindan level monk, the damage caused by extracting the soul will take at least several months to recover.

The soul is sealed into the Life Soul Stone and needs to be placed in a container made of special materials and engraved with seal characters to seal the soul. If it is in contact with the air for a long time, the soul in the Life Soul Stone will gradually disappear.

This is the reason why the sect only occasionally checks the life soul stone of its disciples. Ordinary disciples will only open the sealed container to check the status when confirming whether they have been killed.

In addition to opening the sealed container, there is another way to check the life soul stone, which is to use the soul tester. It is an item refined with special materials and techniques. It can check the soul in the life soul stone without opening the sealed container.

The state has no effect on the Soul of Life Soul Stone.

Ordinary disciples naturally don't get this kind of treatment. The soul-testing tags are very expensive and can only be used once. Only important disciples of the sect will arrange for someone to check them every half a month or a month. For a department like Tangning,

Only deacons have this qualification.

Moreover, the higher the cultivation level of a monk, the harder it is to detect the soul of the Life Soul Stone. It requires a corresponding high-level soul test sign, and the price is even more expensive.

Feng Chu put the life soul stone into a purple jade box covered with runes, and took out a red and blue stone, which was the Side Immortal Stone.

Xu Qingwan held the stone tightly, and the Immortal Testing Stone emitted a dazzling light.

"Well, with upper-level to lower-level spiritual root qualifications, and with the cultivation level of fellow Taoist Xu, you can receive a monthly salary of two thousand spiritual stones." Feng Chu said: "I will send a disciple to send the sect token to Senior Brother Tang tomorrow."

"Then it's Junior Brother Lao Feng." Tang Ning said, the two left the Affairs Department, jumped into the sky, and after a short walk, arrived at the Zhongzhi Peak Meeting Hall.

"Uncle Tang." The disciples on duty in front of the hall hurriedly saluted when they saw him, but they all looked at Xu Qingwan behind him.

"Go and invite some junior brothers from our headquarters."

"Yes." The two disciples responded and flew away with their flying swords.

The two of them entered the hall. Tang Ning walked to the main seat and saw Xu Qingwan still standing there. He smiled slightly and said, "Sit down! Don't be so restrained. You can just treat this place as an intelligence station."

Xu Qingwan still looked very weak and said: "There are many rules in the sect that I don't understand. I hope Tang Immortal can give me some advice. There are so many wooden chairs. I wonder if there is any importance in ranking."

"There are not so many rules. You can sit wherever you want. You just need to read the sect rules several times. You will know the other things in the future. There are a total of four stewards in our department who have stayed in the sect, including Wei Xian who took office.

Junior brother."

After hearing this, Xu Qingwan sat down in the third seat from the left below.

Tang Ning said: "In the future! This title will also have to be changed. From now on, you will officially belong to our disciples."

"Yes." Xu Qingwan responded.

While the two were talking, Xu Wenze came in from the outside, glanced at Xu Qingwan, nodded slightly, sat down and said with a smile: "This must be Junior Sister Xu Qingwan! I've heard rumors that Junior Sister Xu is attracted to her.

The beauty of the country and the appearance of the flowers shying away from the moon have made many disciples dream about him. When I see him today, it is indeed better to meet him than to be famous."

"Our sect has always been prosperous and negative, and there are very few female monks. This time Junior Sister Xu came to our intelligence station, I don't know how many people envy her."

"Senior Brother Tang, your decision to introduce Junior Sister Xu to our sect is a wise one!"

Tang Ning said: "This proposal was put forward by Junior Brother Du Yuankai. I am just passing it on and connecting people. After all, you are still in the same family! Fellow Daoist Xu, this is Junior Brother Xu Wenze, the inspector of our department."

Xu Qingwan nodded slightly.

Xu Wenze said: "Senior Brother Tang, you shouldn't have done this. Junior Sister Xu is now a disciple of our sect, why are you still so outspoken?"

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xu is saying that I just told her to change her title! I neglected it first. I have been used to it for many years. It is really a twist to change her name in a short while."

Not long after, Xu Yuan and Zhao Liheng arrived one after another. Tang Ning introduced them to each other and said, "From now on, Junior Sister Xu Qingwan has joined our sect and is in charge of the headquarters department. Junior Sister Xu, you are still working at the intelligence station.

, assist Junior Brother Wei in handling affairs."

Xu Qingwan nodded and said yes, and everyone left one after another after the discussion.

Tang Ning took her to visit Yin Qingyuan again, mainly to solve her salary problem. The salaries of the managers of various departments were collected at the Secret Academy, so she had to say hello to Yin Qingyuan.

After coming out of the cave, the two of them returned to Zhongzhi Peak. Tang Ning said, "You can choose any place on this peak to build a cave for your convenience when you come to the sect to rest in the future."

Xu Wanqing asked: "Do you have any advice on establishing the cave?"

"No, you can just build one at will. It can be as large or in any style as you like. It's best to build one on this mountain peak. If you don't mind, there are several uninhabited caves on this peak. They are all from before.

You can choose any one left by the brothers."

"No need, I'd better build one myself!"
