Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

"This can be considered my token. If Team Leader Huo is interested in going to the Divine Machine Alliance, you can wear this. Naturally, disciples of the Divine Machine Alliance will greet you. You just need to mention my name."

"How can this be..."

Despite saying that, Huo Qiguo's actions betrayed his true intentions, and he accepted the gift.

"Then I thank you very much, Hall Master Cui. Grand Gu Master, my Yanwu Hall will stay for a maximum of two days, and then I will leave on my own initiative."

Huo Qiguo bowed to Cui Ming, the Great Gu Master, Wei Shufen, and the others, and then walked towards his Yanwu Hall's temporary camp.

After watching Huo Qiguo leave, the Grand Gu Master finally gave Cui Ming a deep look.

"Great Gu Master! This time, the supplies will surely satisfy you, and the food pouches used to store the supplies are also a free gift to Miao territory."

Since we've borrowed the land from a Miao Gu master for our exhibition, we naturally have to do something meaningful.

The delivery capsules were originally supposed to be collected, but now they have no choice but to be sent out.

Upon hearing Cui Ming's understanding, the Great Gu Master narrowed his wrinkled eyes and smiled like a blooming wild chrysanthemum.

"Alright, alright, Master Cui, you're too kind. Wei Shufen, why don't you quickly lead Master Cui into town and give him a proper welcome!"

"Ah! Last time, Master Cui came and went in such a hurry that he didn't even get to experience the unique features of my Miao region!"

Wei Shufen took two steps forward and grabbed Cui Ming's arm.

This time, however, Cui Ming still came with a mission. He was simply delivering the goods traded with Miao territory and expressing his gratitude as well.

"Great Gu Master, I'm so sorry. I still have a mission to complete, and I just happened to be passing by to express my gratitude."

Helpless, Cui Ming could only quietly break free from Wei Shufen's grasp. He bowed slightly, not daring to linger any longer, and leaped onto the Fenrir wolf's back.

"After this mission is completed, I'll come back to experience the unique features of Miao territory."

After saying that, he rode on his Fenrir wolf and disappeared into the woods outside the town.

The Grand Gu Master and the bewildered Wei Shufen exchanged a glance, and the Grand Gu Master scolded her with exasperation.

"You good-for-nothing!"

Meanwhile, Cui Ming, who was moving through the woods, had already transformed Fenrir Wolf back into its motorcycle form.

It is rapidly advancing towards Jinhua, Zhejiang.

Cui Ming never expected that a trip to Miao territory would lead to a chance encounter with Yanwu Hall.

They also unexpectedly promoted the sac-like organoids and received a lot of advice from Huo Qiguo.

This also served as a reminder to Cui Ming that looking at a problem from only one perspective leads to a rather one-sided view.

If we were to get suggestions from people of different social classes, we might get some unexpected results.

Just as Huo Qiguo said, if the food-eating capsule can really solve the problem of preservation.

So freshly caught seafood, fresh fruits and vegetables from all over the world, and even freshly baked desserts and pastries can all be sold in a fresh way...

This kind of service, where you could enjoy food the next day no matter where you were, only became available to ordinary people with the advent of air transport in modern times.

But that's all seventy or eighty years from now.

Now, even those who are rich and powerful cannot enjoy this.

If the problem of preservation can be solved, then the state in which these items are put in will also be the state when they are taken out.

This provides Ma Ben with a direction for research and development, so he won't have to proceed in the dark alone.

This news needs to be told to Ma Benzai as soon as possible. With this in mind, Cui Ming decided to arrive in Jinhua as soon as possible and then use the influence of Jianghu Xiaozhan to write a letter to the Shenji Alliance.

As for why they didn't rely on the Tang Clan to transmit intelligence, it's naturally because the Jianghu Xiaozhan (江湖小栈) emphasizes secrecy and timeliness in its information dissemination.

Generally speaking, a message or letter will arrive within three days.

However, his Tang Clan was still lacking in this aspect; Jianghu Xiaozhan only needed three days.

If it were the Tang Clan, it would take a week.

So two days later, Cui Ming, dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit, stepped into a restaurant called Changqinglou.

According to Tang Clan's intelligence, this Changqing Tower is the Jianghu Xiaozhan's base in Jinhua.

The Changqing Tower is doing quite well. Only a few extraordinary people come and go; most of the customers are ordinary people.

The main hall was packed with people, including merchants in long gowns and mandarin jackets, employees in Zhongshan suits, and travelers carrying bundles.

The sounds of rock-paper-scissors, laughter, and shouts filled the air.

"One person in a private room upstairs."

The waiter shouted a message.

The wooden stairs creaked underfoot as several guests climbed them.

The lobby on the first floor was already packed, leaving only the private rooms on the second floor relatively quiet.

Cui Ming walked slowly toward the counter. A waiter glanced at Cui Ming and walked over with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry, sir, business is booming today. The main hall on the first floor has been full for a while now, and there's only one private room left on the second floor. What do you think…?"

It's a bit strange that this small contact point can do such good business.

However, Cui Ming was still prepared to book the last remaining private room, but before he could even speak...

A large, scarred hand reached out from behind the waiter, grabbed him, and pulled him aside.

"You have no sense of propriety! Go and serve the guests! We're waiting for the food!"

The man looked at the waiter with a fierce expression, almost pointing his finger at him and cursing.

But when he turned his head again, a smile, like that of an old chrysanthemum, was forced onto that fierce-looking face.

"Hehe, sir, please come up to the second floor. I am He Qing, the manager of Changqing Tower. The waiter was just too busy. No matter when you come to our shop, there will always be a seat."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, the entire lobby on the first floor became as quiet as if a ghost had appeared.

The waiter, who had been led aside by the shopkeeper, slapped himself across the face.

Snapped!

Ouch! That really hurts!

This isn't a dream, is it?

Is the shopkeeper possessed by an evil spirit?

Why is He Qing, the fearless blue-faced ghost, laughing like a brothel madam?

Seeing this strange scene, Cui Ming understood and said nothing more.

"lead the way."

They followed Manager He up to the second floor.

After the two of them went upstairs, an even louder discussion broke out in the lobby on the first floor.

"Who is this gentleman? Such a handsome young man, and his face looks unfamiliar. He shouldn't be from Jinhua. Does anyone know him?"

"Hey! Is there anyone in Jinhua with better connections than you, Li Chui with protruding ears?"

"What are you saying? Doesn't Old He know that? If you ask me, we should just give the title of 'protruding ears' to Old He."

"Hey! How can you slander someone like that out of thin air? Maybe this Manager He knows someone from out of town?"

The lobby quickly descended into a discussion about speculating on Cui Ming's identity.

...

"What? Manager He knows me?"

Once on the second floor, Cui Ming began to ask questions.

"Oh, Master Cui is joking."

"I can't speak for other places, but in our little inn, if you don't know you, you might as well not work in this industry."

But at your speed, I'm afraid no one can keep up.

He Qing muttered to himself.

That's for sure, isn't it?

Two days ago, he was still in southern Hunan! Today, he's at Changqinglou Restaurant in Jinhua, Zhejiang.

More than a thousand kilometers, two days...

This guy must be a real deity.

He Qing led Cui Ming into a special private room on the second floor. This place was specifically used to entertain wealthy families or leaders of various sects.

It's not beneath it to use it to entertain Cui Ming, who is currently very popular in the martial arts world.

After Cui Ming entered the room and sat down, He Qing then spoke.

"Master Cui, what business do you have with my Jianghu Inn today?"

Cui Ming raised his hand and a letter flew out from his arms, hovering in front of He Qing.

He Qing took the letter with both hands, examined it carefully, and only accepted it after confirming that it was correct.

"I wonder if Hall Master Cui intends to send this letter to the Tang Clan or the Divine Machine Alliance?"

He Qing lowered his head and listened attentively, showing great respect.

"This is for Ma Ben of the Divine Machine Alliance..."

Chapter 141 The Trinity Gate

After leaving the Changqinglou branch of Jianghu Xiaozhan in Jinhua, Cui Ming handed over the letter he had written to Ma Benzai.

I also inquired about recent developments across the country from the shopkeeper, He Qing.

After the money was exchanged, Cui Ming descended the stairs step by step, accompanied by He Qing's respectful demeanor.

The people in the Changqing Tower were completely dumbfounded.

The lobby had an atmosphere reminiscent of a homeroom teacher making his rounds, with everyone staring at Manager He in astonishment.

One person even rubbed his eyes in disbelief with his oil-stained hands, and was about to scream in pain when his companion covered his mouth tightly.
