Chapter 122: Well, That's Rather Embarrassing

The Five Organs Gu swims within the cultivator's organs. Not only does it typically not harm the cultivator, but it also nourishes and strengthens them.However, once the master of the Gu remotely activates it, the Five Organs Gu will start to devour the organs frenziedly until it has completely consumed the cultivator's innards!

The Five Organs Gu is exceedingly costly. Were it not for a shortage of funds, Yan Peng himself had planned to use it to firmly control the demonic cultivators of the Golden Lake Gang. To be honest, Yan Peng was somewhat skeptical, wondering if the other party was deceiving him.

Chu Xuan chuckled, "Don't believe it? Let me have it bite you as a test."

He snapped his fingers. Immediately, Yan Peng felt an intense pain inside his body, as if he had been bitten. The pain was so severe that he rolled on the ground, curling up like a red-hot shrimp.

Yan Peng cried out in agony, "I believe! I believe!"

He quickly accepted his fate, murmuring, "From now on, you are my master. Whatever you want me to do, just command me!"

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, "My demands are not complex, just gather intelligence for me. The information I most need now is regarding the Situ Family. I want to know the strength and foundations of the Situ Family, and nothing must be omitted."

After stating this, Chu Xuan casually added, "Don't try to dissolve the Five Organs Gu, because besides it, I've also implanted another Gu in your brain. I won't say its name, to spare you the constant worry and prevent it from hindering your work."

Yan Peng shivered. The other person was no fat sheep. He was a far more terrifying demon!

Yan Peng managed a strained smile, "Master, rest assured, I will serve you diligently!"

Chu Xuan tossed him three pieces of a link stone.

"Crush a piece when you have important intelligence, and I will find you."

Yan Peng was full of questions. How would they exchange intelligence? Where would they meet? These details were not specified, but he dared not ask, fearing to irritate his new master.

Chu Xuan waved him off, "Go now, do your work well, and you'll reap the benefits in the future."

Yan Peng's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"

He hurriedly got up and scurried away, clearly motivated.

Chu Xuan, as usual, took several detours to ensure no one was following him before heading north back to his previous cave dwelling.

Outside Golden Lake Market, within a small fishing village, four demonic cultivators of the Golden Lake Gang convened.

Naturally, their leader was the lean middle-aged cultivator, Yan Peng. The other three were a stubble-faced man, a glamorous female cultivator, and an old bald man.

The stubble-faced man spoke in a deep voice, "Boss, why did you suddenly summon us? Is something urgent?"

Yan Peng cleared his throat and solemnly declared, "Brothers, we're about to prosper! Today, I encountered a senior demonic cultivator! He took us under his wing and wants us to work for him!

Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

He even promised me that once the task is done, advancing to the late Qi Condensation stage won't be a problem for all of us. If our aptitudes are good enough, we might even glimpse the path to Foundation Establishment!"

After hearing this, the stubble-faced man, glamorous female, and old bald man widened their eyes in astonishment.

As Qi Refining cultivators with average aptitude and no background, they had chosen the path of demonic cultivation. Now, a senior demonic cultivator was willing to mentor them. This was a tremendous opportunity!

However, amidst their joy, the three immediately grew wary.

The glamorous female cultivator spoke seriously, "Boss, could this be a deception? Maybe he's using us as fodder."

"Yeah, demonic cultivators are ruthless! I would know, being one myself," the stubble-faced man muttered disdainfully.

The old bald man nodded in agreement.

Yan Peng smiled faintly, "Don't worry. The senior cultivator doesn't intend for us to charge into battle. He just wants us to gather intelligence. Our current focus is on the Situ Family!"

The three cultivators' eyes lit up. Gathering intelligence was something they excelled at!

"How about it, are you in?" Yan Peng smiled.

"We're in!" The three replied simultaneously.

Yan Peng laughed heartily, "Good! This determination is what we need. Once this is done, we'll live comfortably without any worries!"

"Yes!"

...

"I obtained information about the Situ Family through Yan Peng. If the Situ Family is destroyed, it may attract some attention from the Heaven Burning Sect.

There's a chance someone could trace it back to me through Yan Peng. As a precaution, after the task is completed, I should send them to the Temple of Five Organs. Bao should enjoy feasting on live humans. They should have the resolve to selflessly dedicate themselves. If not, I'll help them find it."

Chu Xuan stroked his chin, already planning the rewards for Yan Peng and his group. He hoped they wouldn't be moved to tears by it.

Well, that would be rather embarrassing.

Chu Xuan returned to the array to continue his cultivation.

... seaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Xuan had been cultivating on Blue Star for ten months.

With his diligent efforts, all his auxiliary cultivation techniques had made significant progress:

- Turtle Breath Technique: Reached the second level.

- Body Protecting Golden Wheel Decree: Reached the second level.

- Boiling Blood True Technique: First level.

- Soul Refining Technique: Third level.

However, his main cultivation technique, the Blood Evil Demon Refining Scripture, progressed slowly. It was still at the eighth level.

Chu Xuan also found a place to stimulate the Corpse Tide with ultrasonic waves to replenish the Blood Refining Corpse Fire.

This peaceful life didn't last long.

Chu Xuan's heart stirred as he took out the link stone and noticed a new crack on it.

"It seems we've obtained important intelligence about the Situ Family."

...

Golden Lake Market.

Yan Peng, clad in a light blue daoist robe, swaggered along the middle of the road behind the Situ family cultivators. Accompanying him in similar attire were four others. The cultivators on either side sneered at their arrogant demeanor.

The Situ family cultivators were notably fewer in number. To manage the various districts and industries, Situ family cultivators were constantly reassigned, and manpower was becoming scarce. Therefore, they had to recruit local cultivators for their use.

Upon learning of this, Yan Peng promptly applied under a false identity. Given his formidable strength, he swiftly passed the scrutiny and became an enforcement cultivator in Golden Lake Market.

Leading the enforcement team was Situ Cui, an elderly woman in the late stage of Qi Refinement from the Situ family.

Through discreet investigations, Yan Peng discovered that she was fond of alcohol and harbored dissatisfaction towards the main branch of the Situ family, being from a collateral branch herself.

Using alcohol as a pretext, he approached the elder cultivator and won her favor.

Taking advantage of her drunken state, he continuously gleaned various information about the Situ family from her.

During this period, he truly uncovered many secrets of the Situ family!

Thus, he promptly crushed a piece of the link stone.

However... where was that senior demonic cultivator? Why hadn't they arrived yet?

Just as Yan Peng was pondering this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his internal organs and collapsed on the spot.

Situ Cui, the captain of the enforcement team with her snowy white hair, was alarmed and quickly helped Yan Peng up.

"Little Pengpeng, what's wrong?" Situ Cui asked with concern.

Yan Peng waved his hand, "Miss Cui, I'm fine. It should be due to excessive cultivation. I just need to rest for a while."

Situ Cui breathed a sigh of relief, casually instructed two people, and imperiously said, "You two, help Little Pengpeng back to rest and then return to the team."

"Yes."
