Dark clouds cover the moon and heavy rain pours. In a remote mountain forest in the southeast of Wu State, a dilapidated Taoist temple stands.

Inside the Taoist temple, everything was silent except for the constant sound of raindrops falling on the stone slabs. In the distance, a ray of light shot out, revealing the figure of a handsome-looking man, who was none other than Tang Ning.

The sect's production expansion plan was on track and everything was in order, so he left the sect and came here in order to find out a past event that had been hidden in his heart for many years.

The door of the room opened wide, and a tall and tall man walked quickly in front of him, bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Master Tang."

"Junior Brother Xu, there is no need to be more polite." Tang Ning waved her hand and said. This person was none other than Xu Yuan, the head of the Intelligence Department. Wu Teng, the former head of the Eagle Intelligence Station, passed away and left the sect to go to Wu Kingdom.

He took over the position of director of this information station.

The Nighthawk Intelligence Station and the Silver Fox Intelligence Station are both responsible for the latent infiltration of external forces, but one is responsible for the internal forces of the Chu State, and the other is responsible for the external forces of the Chu State.

The two entered the room and sat opposite each other. Tangning said, "I came to you this time because there is something I need you to do."

"Please give me your instructions, Uncle Master."

Tang Ning flipped over with her left hand, took out a portrait, handed it to him and said, "I think you should know about this person."

Xu Yuan took the scroll and saw on it a man with gray hair on his temples, a tall figure, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He frowned: "Elder of the Blood and Bone Sect, Iron Painted Bones?"

"That's right, I don't care what method you use, you must place one of our people beside him. I need to know his specific movements and all matters. Can you do it?"

Xu Yuan muttered: "This is very difficult. This is under the jurisdiction of the Qingyang Sect. It is extremely inconvenient for us to do many things. In addition, the other party is also a high-ranking member of the Blood and Bone Sect. There are only four of us in the Blood and Bone Sect.

Xiao Zuo, they are all disciples of the Blood and Bone Sect with low cultivation level, and they have no chance to come into contact with him."

"I don't care how long it takes, I just want the results. Just tell me how much funding is needed."

Xu Yuandao: "In that case, disciple, please try your best! We may be able to cooperate with the Qingyang Sect. They have penetrated the Blood and Bone Sect very deeply."

"What method you use is your business. You handle this matter yourself. Don't rely on anyone else. You write a dossier every month and send it to the sect. I want to know the detailed progress." Tang Ning said here, with a hand in her hand.

He turned it over and threw him a storage bag: "There are 50,000 spirit stones in it. You can use it first. If you don't have enough funds in the future, you can apply for subsidies. I will ensure that your funds are unimpeded."

Xu Yuan took the storage bag and felt happy. Tang Ning was now promoted to the steward of Yuanyi Palace and was in charge of the sect's financial power. The financial support could not exceed his words. Since he made this promise, it is conceivable that in the future,

Funding is certainly not an issue.

"Disciples obey orders and will do their best."

"After this is over, I will give you a big reward."

"Thank you, Uncle Master. Disciple, I dare to ask, is this a task assigned by the sect, or is it?" Xu Yuan asked.

"This is my personal matter and has nothing to do with the sect. This person has a deep grudge against me."

"Yes, disciple understands." Xu Yuan nodded in agreement without asking any more questions.

"Then I'll leave everything to you."

"I honor my uncle's orders."

Tang Ning flipped her hands and took out a few bottles of elixirs and handed them to him: "These bottles of strengthening elixirs were refined by me before and are not of much use now. They are suitable for your current cultivation level, so I will give them to you!"

"

"Thank you, uncle." Xu Yuan said happily.

"If you have any difficulties or needs, please tell me immediately and I will fully support you."

"yes."

Tangning didn't say anything more, left the room, and disappeared into light.

……………………………………………………………………………

The reason why he left the sect this time was for this matter.

As the only survivor of the massacre in Tangliu Village back then, Tie Huagu must know a lot of inside information. As long as he can be captured alive, perhaps the mystery of the green spiritual power in his body can be solved.

Of course, the most important thing is that as one of the murderers who massacred Tangliu Village, he and I must come to an end. The so-called parents' hatred is irreconcilable. If you don't avenge this revenge, you will be a son of man in vain.

He had not broken through to the Golden Core Realm before, so he kept this matter in his mind and took no action. Now that he has entered the Golden Core, he already has the capital to take revenge.

But this matter should not be taken too hastily. The other party has been in the Golden Core Realm for many years and must not be underestimated.

Especially since I don't know the opponent's strength at all. Apart from knowing that he is a Golden Core cultivator of the Blood and Bone Sect, I know nothing about the rest.

You must be fully prepared, know yourself and the enemy, and take action when you are confident. Otherwise, you will fail to kill the thief, and you will be killed by the thief. Not only will you not be able to take revenge, but you will lose your life in vain.

Tang Ning's thoughts surged in her heart. Thinking of the scenes in Tangliu Village, she was both angry and a little lucky.

Fortunately, he escaped this disaster, and fortunately, Tiehuagu entered the golden elixir to extend his lifespan, giving him the opportunity to kill his enemies with his own hands.

He fled all the way, and after traveling for about two days, he returned to the cave and sat down cross-legged. There was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

Mu Tiancheng pushed the door open and entered, bowed and said: "Uncle Master, Zhu Zhong of the Palm Seal Department heard that Uncle Master asked to see you."

"Invite him!"

"Yes." Mu Tiancheng responded and retreated.

Not long after, Zhu Zhongwen came in from the outside, bowed and took a seat. He turned his hand, took out a file and handed it to him: "Uncle Master, this is the list of purchased supplies drawn up by our Palm Print Department. Please take a look."

Tang Ning took the file and took a look at it. It was densely packed with shop names and names of various cultivation materials, all of which were raw materials for refining weapons, elixirs, talismans, and formations.

A few days ago, the sect has passed a resolution to spend two million to hoard resources for future disciples to refine elixirs and weapons. The cost of purchasing the first batch of materials is one million spirit stones.

Tang Ning flipped it over in her hand, took out the Yuanyi Palace Seal, signed it, stamped it, handed it back to him and said, "Go to the storage room to get the spirit stone yourself!"

"Yes, Uncle Master, who is mainly responsible for purchasing supplies this time?"

This is a lucrative position. With the sect's two million spiritual stones, all parties can make a fortune, especially the person in charge of the main purchase. Tang Ning glanced at him: "You decide for yourself!"

"Yes, Uncle Master, there is one more thing. The profits from shops and gambling houses have been collected a few days ago. A total of 2.6 million spirit stones have been collected. Since you are not in the sect, I will lead them to deposit them directly in the storage room.

Okay, this is the dossier on the spiritual stones handed over from various places." Zhu Zhongwen pulled out another dossier and handed it to him.

Tang Ning waved her hand: "As long as your Palm Print Department is responsible for these matters, how many spiritual stones are there outside the sect that have not been confiscated?"

Zhu Zhongwen said: "There are also Jingyun Ling Mine and Huang Xuan Ling Mine, as well as the cultivation materials exported to the Chamber of Commerce and the Cultivation Families' taxes from various places. We have already sent people to collect them. If there are no accidents, they can be handed over to the sect within a month."

Into warehouse."

"By the way, there is also Junior Sister Xu Qingwan's salary. I have asked the Ministry of Finance to make up the difference for her this year."

Tang Ning nodded. Xu Qingwan originally had a monthly salary of three thousand spiritual stones. After being promoted to the deacon standard, his monthly salary was six thousand spiritual stones. He had already received it this year and should start receiving the deacon salary next year.

Zhu Zhongwen also ordered the Ministry of Finance to make up the difference for this year, which was undoubtedly a show of goodwill and a favor.

"Disciple takes leave," Zhu Zhongwen said.

"etc."

"Uncle, do you have any other instructions?"

Tang Ning said: "Zhong Wen! I have something to discuss with you, and I hope to get support from your Palm Print Department."

"Uncle, please give me your instructions."

"There is a Nighthawk Intelligence Station under the Intelligence Department, which is responsible for the infiltration and lurking of external forces in the Chu State. I gave them a task to arrange a spy next to the senior officials of the Blood and Bone Sect. It may require a lot of funds. If there is

I hope your Palm Print Department can raise your hand for their spirit stone subsidy application."

"Yes, disciple understands."

"Well, you go ahead!"

"Disciple, take your leave." Zhu Zhongwen stood up and left the cave.

……………………………………………………

The days in the sect were as peaceful as water, and several months passed in a flash. In the alchemy room, Tang Ning closed her eyes slightly, concentrating on her. She was watching the subtle changes in the elixir in the alchemy cauldron. The fire transformed by spiritual power was

The area around the pill is suddenly getting bigger and smaller.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and patted the alchemy cauldron. A pill came out of the dragon's mouth and fell into the wooden box. Without even looking at it, he moved his hand and took the pill on the chopping board into his hand. Through the pill

Throw the through hole on the left side of the cauldron into the inner room and continue refining.

It wasn't until the sky turned white the next day that Tang Ning walked out of the alchemy room and returned to the cave.

Although most of the alchemy rooms are assigned to sect disciples to learn alchemy, there are still twenty rooms left for other disciples of the Alchemy Department.

With his status, naturally no one dares to compete with him. This alchemy room has become his exclusive use. Even if he is not around, no one dares to occupy it. It will be empty there, waiting for him to come at any time.

use.

Tang Ning returned to the cave and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed to rest. After a day and night of refining elixirs, his spiritual power and consciousness had been exhausted. He didn't know how long it had been before there was a knock on the door. Mu Tiancheng pushed the door open and saluted.

: "Uncle Master, Uncle Xu Wenze from the Intelligence Department would like to see you."

Tang Ning's mind suddenly moved, and she immediately thought that it might be the Nighthawk Intelligence Station that had sent information about a detailed infiltration campaign targeting Tie Huagu: "Invite him in."

"Yes." Mu Tiancheng retreated in response. Not long after, Xu Wen came in from the outside and saluted, "Disciple pays homage to my uncle."

"Sit down! What are you doing here?"

Xu Wenze sat down as he was told, flipped it with his left hand and took out a piece of paper: "This is the intelligence message sent by Junior Brother Xu Yuan. I have been asked to make a special trip to deliver it to Senior Uncle Tang."

Tang Ning took the seal, took out the file, and opened it to read. It read: Disciple Xu Yuan reported to his uncle that an agent has been arranged to enter the Blood and Bone Sect. The disciple has contacted the head of the Qingyang Sect Intelligence Station.
