"Pavilion Master Zhao, it's better not to waste your time."
Tang Ming frowned: "It's boring to test me with these words."
Zhao Ye smiled awkwardly, but still spoke again: "Young Master Qi, when I visited Mr. Qi last time, I met you from a distance..." Huh?
Tang Ming raised his eyebrows: "When did you go?"
Zhao Ye replied: "About December last year, the medicinal material base over there happened to be opened, and I went to purchase medicinal materials."
"Then I guess you saw it wrong."
Tang Ming said indifferently: "I was still in college in Jinling in December last year and was not at home. Is the test ready?
I have this thing, it should be able to prove my identity."
Say it.
In Tang Ming's hand, a simple token appeared.
The style of the token is very peculiar. It looks more like a key than a token, with the word "Qi" engraved on it in small seal script.
"Huh!"
Zhao Ye couldn't help but said in surprise: "This is the token of the head of the Qi family!"
"It's not just the family head's token, it's also a key that can open the door to the Qijia's medicine storehouse. It can also be used to command the Qijia's medicine stores and distributors across the country."
Tang Ming said calmly: "With this thing here, what are you still doubting?"
"Ahem, now it's confirmed."
Zhao Ye smiled awkwardly and said with an apologetic smile: "I hope Mr. Qi will not blame you. I have to be cautious. Since Mr. Qi has arrived in person, I can naturally go to the underground secret room."
"Steward Wang, go get some sets of black robes for Young Master Qi and others."
Butler Wang nodded and left.
Zhao Ye explained: "The underground secret room is quite special. It is covered by formations, and the people participating in the trading market are monks from all walks of life. Everyone will restrain their aura and cover their appearance."
"At the same time, I would also like to remind Mr. Qi that you must not use any means to probe others down below. This will not only anger others, but also violate the formation of the underground secret room."
"All of this also protects the identity information of buyers and sellers, and safety comes first."
Tang Ming nodded and said nothing.
soon.
Butler Wang brought over several sets of black robes. These were just ordinary black robes, nothing weird. Tang Ming and others put them on directly, put on their hats, and dressed up similarly to the two shaman cultivators from the Kang tribe.
"Master Qi, please."
Zhao Ye handed over the invitation.
Tang Ming nodded and walked up the stairs with him behind him.
The moment he entered the stairs, a force of formation rippled out, directly isolating the internal and external spaces.
Chu Shanming frowned and shouted in a low voice: "This formation can isolate the power of the soul!"
"Normally, the organizer of this kind of market for cultivators must have a strong background. Moreover, this formation is not difficult."
Tang Ming smiled lightly and said via voice transmission.
"Um, Instructor Tang, can you transmit sounds here?"
Chu Shanming was a little shocked.
The power of the soul was suppressed by the formation, and he was unable to use the soul to transmit sounds. However, Tang Ming seemed not to be affected by this and could still transmit sounds.
But soon, Chu Shanming reacted again.
This Instructor Tang is not an ordinary person, this is the Chief Instructor of Dragon Thorn, and he also defeated the Canglong Dragon Leader Lu Tianyang, a terrifying existence who reached the top of the Heavenly Ranking at the age of twenty.
"Instructor Tang is really powerful."
Chu Shanming was very impressed.
Tang Ming smiled and said nothing, leading everyone down the stairs.
The lights in the passage were dim and it seemed very quiet.
A few minutes later.
A slightly ajar ebony door appeared in front.
"Creak-" The door opened, and a wide room suddenly appeared inside. It was more like a hall than a room, covering hundreds of square meters.
At this moment, there are already more than a dozen people in this secret shop.
They were all wearing black robes, their auras were restrained and their appearance could not be seen clearly.
Tang Ming was looking at these people. Similarly, these dozen people also turned to look at Tang Ming, but no one spoke.
Sudden.
A cold gaze glanced over.
Tang Ming looked up, but there were two black robes looking over. These two people were the witch cultivators who had taken action in Haoling Pavilion before, and were ancient witch masters from the Kang clan.
The atmosphere became a little weird.
Chu Shanming took a step forward and came to Tang Ming's side. When he was about to lower his voice and speak - "Don't talk yet, there are people monitoring here."
Tang Ming calmly transmitted the message: "General Chu, I will help you untie some of the shackles of the formation, but remember, do not use your soul to probe others, only communicate with my soul."
Chu Shanming nodded slightly.
Tang Ming put his hands behind his back, relied on the cover of his sleeves and robes to make a magic formula, and threw it towards Chu Shanming.
"Instructor Tang..." Chu Shanming whispered: "Who is monitoring?"
"It should be the organizer of Fangshi, or in other words, the real owner behind Haoling Pavilion."
Tang Ming's face was calm: "According to Butler Wang, Haoling Pavilion has obtained the badge certification of the Yuan clan in Miaojiang. Is there any news about the Yuan clan in the Military and Military Administration?"
"Yes, but not much."
Chu Shanming said in a deep voice: "The Yuan clan is an ancient witch clan in Miao territory. They are mainly engaged in business and rarely participate in battles. Even in the suppression operation that year, the Yuan clan did not participate."
"So the Military and Military Administration is not very wary of them. Their cooperation with Haoling Pavilion has actually received official certification..." Official certification?
Tang Ming raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
It stands to reason that the Military and Military Administration guards the Miao territory, and the guard here is aimed at the strong practitioners of the ancient witch clan, to prevent the witch cultivators from stepping into the secular world and violating the prohibition with force.
Just like guarding the Northern Territory and the Kunlun Territory, hermit cultivators are not allowed to be allowed and are not allowed to interact with the world. After all, cultivators are powerful and can easily cause trouble if they are left alone.
That being the case.
How could the Yuan clan get official certification?
"This is not a certification approved by the Military and Arms Administration, but by the Yunnan and Yunnan General Administration of Commerce."
"The reason given is that blocking is worse than sparse, and strong suppression will only create conflicts. The Ancient Witch Clan is different from the Kunlun Territory. There are a large number of ordinary ancient Miao people in it, so the business of the Yuan Clan is needed to trade some daily necessities... "Chu Shanming said in a deep voice: "The Generalissimo also knew about this, and the Generalissimo was very angry at the time, but the General Administration of Commerce came up with rules that the Military and Military Administration has no right to participate in local management."
Tang Ming frowned, but didn't say much.
Jiang Longwu is powerful in battle, holds great power, and has countless powerful warriors under his command, which is bound to attract excessive attention from some people.
In fact, it is understandable.
After all, the Military and Military Administration is only good at fighting, guarding China and protecting secular people, and measures such as secular economic development also require the coordination and cooperation of various departments.
Chu Shanming asked: "Instructor Tang, did you find anything when you cooperated with Butler Wang to come to Haoling Pavilion?"
"Um."
Tang Ming nodded and raised his hand to play with the pipe in his hand.
The pipe was originally lent to him by Steward Wang, but after going through capital verification, Zhao Ye's appearance, trials and other matters, Tang Ming entered the underground secret room and took the pipe down with him.
"There's something wrong with this flue-cured tobacco."
"It contains a weird curse that can affect the mind and soul. If you take it for a long time, you will definitely be cursed. And this weird curse is related to the Miao Witch Temple."
Tang Ming looked back at Chu Shanming with piercing eyes: "I suspect that the ancient witch clan is about to make a big move!"
