Tang Ning put away the book and sighed for a long time. Although Thousand Machines and Hundreds of Puppet Techniques were unique, as a skill, it could not be achieved overnight. His top priority was to improve his cultivation.

Since arriving in Qingzhou inland, he has been deeply aware of the serious problem of his lack of cultivation. During the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance period, he had delayed his cultivation for a long time due to lack of financial resources. Now he has joined the Taixuan Sect.

Everything has been settled, so why not hurry up and practice all the things!

As for this technique! I’ll talk about it later when I have the opportunity.

He turned his hand and took out a foot-high blue pagoda, which was exactly the one he brought from the palace. There was a line of small characters engraved on the bottom of the pagoda. If he looked carefully, he saw that it was Xuanling Pagoda, Zhang Zhongshu.

Tangning's consciousness entered and wandered around for a long time to understand the internal situation inside Xuanling Pagoda. Finally, she came to the central high platform and smashed the remaining phantom on it into pieces.

Although the golden-haired bear soul is entrenched in the Gaotai Weekly Examination, because it has not developed spirituality, it will not actively attack intruders. Only when the magical beast soul has generated spirituality, will it have the consciousness to attack others. At this time, the magic weapon will also

He was promoted to Lingbao

After Tangning left behind a trace of spiritual consciousness, she exited the inner space of the magic weapon. She turned her hand over, swallowed a pill, sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes and practiced.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed by in the blink of an eye. At the end of the month, during the meeting, Tang Ning left the cave and came to the meeting hall directly under the Sixth Team. Several figures were sitting inside. Yu Yan, Zhang Chaoyang, and Jiang Tianyuan were already there.

A few people chatted about some of the recent events in Xuantang City.

"I heard that Qin Zheng, the shopkeeper of Fengyun Chamber of Commerce in this city, has been transferred."

"Even the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce dares to openly oppose us. It's really asking for trouble."

"Perhaps he was promoted and reused! The purpose of moving him away is just to show outsiders, so that both parties can step down."

"In my opinion, these chambers of commerce are really arrogant. We really need to suppress them and give them some color, otherwise they will dare to ride on our heads and dominate us."

About a quarter of an hour later, Yu Qian came in from the outside, walked to the main seat and sat down, and said: "This year happens to be the period for collecting materials. The headquarters will collect corresponding tribute taxes from the Xuanmen of the thirty pavilion cities under it. You guys

Everyone made preparations individually, and all the directly-affiliated brigades were dispatched to go to various pavilions and cities on the fifteenth day of the following month to check the accounts and ensure that the tribute and tax payments were successfully completed."

"Yes." Several people at the table responded in unison.

As one of the four major sects, Taixuanzong is the leader in Xuanmen in the world. All Xuanmen in Qingzhou belong to the sects affiliated to it. They must make corresponding offerings every hundred years, just like the princes paying tribute to the emperor.

Although the Taixuan Sect is now weak, it still has a certain degree of control over the Qingzhou Xuanmen. Those big Xuanmen are only preparing to make moves in private, and no one really dares to challenge the Taixuan Sect's status.

The collection of tribute taxes is the expression of Taixuanzong's authority as one of the four major sects.

Paying tribute means that you still recognize Taixuanzong's status as the "Emperor". If you fail to pay tribute as scheduled, you will not recognize that you are affiliated with Taixuanzong's powerful sect, which is equivalent to rebelling and raising an army.

Not only Xuanmen, but also the Chamber of Commerce and the Cultivation Family. The Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce needs to pay tribute and taxes to the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce as scheduled, and the Qingzhou Cultivation Family also needs to pay tribute and taxes to the Jiang Family as scheduled.

Only by paying tribute taxes can you obtain legal status and receive corresponding protection. If you do not pay taxes to these giants, it is an illegal organization, and others can conquer and destroy them at will.

Yu Gan rambled on about a few more instructions from the headquarters, which were all trivial matters. For example, he must abide by the rules of Qingwu Camp and not leave his post for a long time. He must discuss with the captain of the team for permission when going out, and he must not argue or fight with others in private. etc……

The discussion went on for an hour before Yu Gan announced it was over. Everyone stood up and walked out. For some reason, Su Mingcheng did not participate in the discussion this time.

Tang Ning returned to the cave and continued to practice hard.

Half a month passed quickly, and on April 15th, in front of the meeting hall of the direct brigade, several escaping lights appeared, revealing the figures of Tang Ning and his party.

There were already several teams waiting in front of the palace. As time went by, several other teams directly under the command also arrived one after another. Everyone waited outside for about half an hour when they heard a loud rumble and a wind spirit ship coming from the northwest. He walked forward and stopped above the crowd.

Immediately, a group of people filed out of the hall. The leader was Huang Yuan, the steward of the alliance and the captain of the direct brigade, followed by several monks, all of whom were stewards of the direct brigade.

Huang Yuan waved his hand, his body flashed, and he arrived on the Fengling Ship in the blink of an eye, and everyone jumped into the sky one after another.

The Wind Spirit Ship slowly sailed out of the Tianniu Mountains with a huge glow, heading southeast. Huang Yuan and a group of stewards entered the cabin, leaving Tang Ning and other disciples outside the cabin.

There are many Guanjia monks standing on the deck, all of them are monks recruited by the alliance. These are not the official disciples of Taixuan Sect, but are casual cultivators recruited, just like Gu Yuanya.

There are one hundred casual cultivators recruited in the Tianniu Mountains. According to the standards of Qingwuying, the cultivators recruited by the regiment headquarters must not be lower than Jindan, nor higher than Huashen.

These recruiting monks are mainly responsible for miscellaneous tasks such as the regiment's security department, finance department, liaison department, etc.

……………………

The Fengling Boat traveled for several days and arrived in front of the huge light curtain of the Xuanyangting Rhinoceros Mountains. This was the office of the Third Brigade.

A man with a chin and a tiger beard walked out of the cabin. He was Zhang Yunnan, the manager of the direct brigade. He left the warship in a flash. With a wave of his hand, a talisman was handed in.

After a while, the light curtain gradually melted, and the Wind Spirit Ship slowly sailed into the inner room, suspended on the top of a towering mountain.

Huang Yuan led everyone to the majestic hall. The stewards of the direct brigade entered the hall, while Tang Ning and other disciples were waiting outside.

Soon, many escaping lights came one after another. About half an hour later, everyone in the hall was seen filing out. In addition to Huang Yuan and others, there were also many high-level officials of the Third Brigade.

"Wang Yalin, you lead the first team of disciples to Fenghua Pavilion to collect local Xuanmen supplies."

"Dong Wenjin, lead the second team of disciples to Queluoting to collect local Xuanmen supplies."

"………………"

Huang Yuan sent the ten squads under the direct brigade to the ten pavilion cities under the jurisdiction of the third brigade to collect tribute taxes. The members of the sixth squadron under Tang Ning's direct command were assigned to Xian Yueting.

In addition to Xuanyang Pavilion, the third brigade also has jurisdiction over nine nearby pavilion cities. Each pavilion city is stationed with a small team, responsible for managing and guarding local cultivation resources.
