Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius Chapter 48 – Removing the firewood from under the pot

The Purple Gold Star-eyed Beast carried Gu Feng and Fang Feixue swiftly through the sky.

Before long, they arrived above the stall they had just visited.

The sky was filled with various streaks of light, and the young couple didn't stand out.

They found a spot to land, and Gu Feng began to send a ssage to Hou Yixiao, searching for him.

"Sequence! I'm here!"

Hearing the voice, Gu Feng looked around and saw the chubby man waddling over, holding sothing that looked like a golden, crispy roast chicken.

"Hou Yixiao! You're really enjoying yourself! Didn't you say there was sothing going on?! Where's that suspicious stall owner?! I told you to keep an eye on him, and here you are, eating and drinking! Quickly, tell ! Did you slack off again?!"

Seeing this, Gu Feng scolded him without hesitation.

Hou Yixiao took a bite of the roast at in his hand, his mouth greasy, and quickly explained, "Injustice, Sequence, I was working for you, how dare I slack off even a bit!"

After a pause, seemingly choked by the roast at, Hou Yixiao continued, "After you two left, I kept watching that stall owner. I saw him leave his stall and sneak into a small alley, so I followed him secretly."

"Who knew this guy was up to sothing, he released a flying kite in the back alley. I acted quickly and used so Daoist Techniques to bring it down, and intercepted this jade slip from its claws!"

Saying this, he wiped his greasy hands on his clothes, then took out a small jade slip from his chest and handed it to Gu Feng.

Flying kites are low-level spiritual birds in the cultivation world.

Ordinary cultivators are limited by their Divine Sense and cannot transmit ssages over long distances. If they have important matters or information to exchange, they usually use flying kites to communicate.

Simply put, they function like carrier pigeons.

Gu Feng, full of disdain, took the jade slip with his fingers and probed it with his Divine Sense. A piece of information appeared in his mind:

Today, at the Yong'an City Night Market, suspicious individuals inquired about the thod of "Blood Gu Potion Enhancent." The appearance of three people is recorded in this slip. The Witch's Village should be on guard!

After this text, the jade slip even activated a mystic light mirror formation!

The scene of Gu Feng, Fang Feixue, and Hou Yixiao inquiring about Gu sources was vividly clear!

Retracting his Divine Sense, Gu Feng pondered silently. This stall owner was clearly not an ordinary cultivator, likely a spy arranged by so force from the Northern Wilderness in Yong'an City.

This force obviously knew a lot about the Nine Tribulations Witch King's thods, otherwise, they wouldn't ntion "Blood Gu Potion Enhancent" in the jade slip!

It's unclear if they are friend or foe.

Currently, they know nothing about the whereabouts of the Nine Tribulations Witch King, so using this person as a breakthrough point could save them from running around like headless chickens!

Gu Feng pondered for a mont, then suddenly rembered sothing and asked Hou Yixiao, "Where's that flying kite?!"

Hou Yixiao had just taken another bite of at, and when Gu Feng asked, he sheepishly smiled and said, "Hehe, Sequence, it's right here in front of you..."

Gu Feng was stunned, looked Hou Yixiao up and down, and suddenly realized, pointing at the roast in his hand, shouted, "You damn well roasted and ate it?!"

Hou Yixiao, with his mouth full of flying kite at, couldn't help but burp and silently nodded.

Damn!

Gu Feng wished he could use the Void Shattering Hand to slap this fat guy back to Heroic Spirit City!

Even Fang Feixue beside him couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

Originally, Gu Feng thought of swapping the real with the fake to lure that mysterious force into revealing themselves!

But now, the most important tool had been roasted and eaten by this guy!

The key issue is, if that flying kite doesn't deliver the information on ti, it will surely alert the enemy!

Grabbing Hou Yixiao's small mustache, Gu Feng, furious, scolded, "Hou Yixiao! Are you a starving ghost reincarnated?! Was it necessary to be in such a hurry?!"

"Ouch, ouch, Sequence! Please be gentle! I have a plan! I have a plan!"

Hou Yixiao cried out in pain, his small eyes almost tearing up, explaining continuously.

Fang Feixue laughed uncontrollably. Having followed Gu Feng for a long ti, she vaguely understood his intentions and deliberately added fuel to the fire, "Hehe, what plan do you have? Originally, it was to lure the snake out of its hole, but now it's beco a dead end!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Gentle, gentle! It's not a problem! It's not a problem!"

Hou Yixiao scread in pain, being extrely clever, he quickly understood Gu Feng's intention and shouted, "We can still draw from the bottom of the pot!"

Hearing this, Gu Feng finally let go and asked irritably, "Co on! Tell ! How do we draw from the bottom of the pot?!"

Hou Yixiao rubbed his mustache, sheepishly smiled, and mysteriously gestured, "Sequence, please follow ."

Saying this, Hou Yixiao led Gu Feng and Fang Feixue mysteriously into a small alley.

As soon as they entered the alley, a foul sll of urine hit them!

It was obvious that this secluded alley was a convenient spot for the stall owners on Yunluo Street.

Although cultivators who reached the third level of the Qi Refining Realm no longer had the physiological needs of mortals and could expel impurities from their bodies through ridian circulation.

However, Yunluo Street still had a large number of low-level cultivators and mortal stall owners, so such alleys were necessary.

"Hou Yixiao! What are you up to?!" Fang Feixue quickly covered her face, full of disdain.

Gu Feng also frowned slightly...

Who the hell would willingly go into a public restroom?!

"Sequence! Look!"

Hou Yixiao raised his sleeve to cover his nose and mouth, then kicked aside a pile of bamboo baskets in the corner!

A man lay curled up unconscious in the corner, not moving at all.

Who else could it be but that strange stall owner?!

"Why is he here?!"

Ignoring the foul sll, Gu Feng asked in shock.

Hou Yixiao cupped his hands and slowly said, "I took the flying kite and thought it best to strike first. So, when this guy ca to relieve himself, I took the opportunity to drug him!"

"Sequence, rest assured, this drug of mine is a secret recipe! It can knock out anyone below the Elental Infant stage, and they won't wake up for five or six hours. Even if you urinate on him now, he won't react!"

Saying this, Hou Yixiao looked smug, deliberately kicking the stall owner, who remained unconscious and motionless.

Gu Feng looked at the pitiful stall owner and shook his head, unable to bear it.

Who knows how long he had been unconscious here, covered in unknown fluids, truly a miserable sight.

Hou Yixiao covered his face with a smug smile and continued, "The most amazing thing about my knockout drug is that once the victim wakes up, they'll forget everything that happened while they were unconscious! At this mont, this guy is like a piece of at on the chopping block, at our rcy!"

Fang Feixue felt uneasy and took a few steps back, feeling that Hou Yixiao was like a monstrous beast at this mont.

In fact, she forgot that with her Elental Infant Realm cultivation, such thods were useless against her, but as a girl, she couldn't help but feel a bit frightened.

Even with Gu Feng's ticulous nature, he couldn't help but find it excessively cruel. This fat man's thods were truly insidious and vicious!

As for what he usually used this knockout drug for, Gu Feng could guess even with his big toe!

"So, what's your plan?" Gu Feng asked impatiently, looking at the unconscious stall owner.

"My thod is actually quite simple, just a bit ruthless!"

Hou Yixiao shook the whisk in his hand and said, "As long as we use the soul searching thod on this person once, the forces behind him will have no secrets from us, but..."

As he spoke, Hou Yixiao shook his head helplessly, and Fang Feixue sneered disdainfully.

The soul searching thod wasn't considered a profound thod in this world, but it was quite a vicious one.

Using the soul searching thod, one could directly search the mories in a cultivator's divine sense, easily obtaining any information!

But the side effects were severe, leaving the searched cultivator with damaged divine sense, turning them into a mindless living dead!

This thod could only be used on targets with weaker cultivation than oneself, otherwise, it would backfire with endless consequences!

Typically, cultivators from major families sneered at this thod, considering it an extre asure used only by demonic cultivators. Thus, Gu Feng had only heard of it in his family and never learned it.

"You actually know the soul searching thod?!" Gu Feng looked at the fat man with slight surprise.

Hou Yixiao chuckled awkwardly, "I've road the world, learning a bit of everything..."

"You really are sothing!"

Gu Feng thought to himself but didn't say it out loud, considering Fang Feixue was already quite resentful of Hou Yixiao's series of vicious thods.

If they could do as Hou Yixiao suggested, it would be ideal.

Although it was an unexpected disaster for the stall owner and quite unfair, it was unavoidable!

In this world, no one is absolutely innocent, and while all beings are equal, fate is determined by the heavens.

Moreover, to achieve great things, one must not be constrained by minor details. One must know that a general's success is built on countless sacrifices!

Since he had already embarked on this path, Gu Feng couldn't afford too much compassion.

Gu Feng nodded in agreent but suddenly felt there was still sothing amiss with the plan and quickly said, "If this person suddenly disappears, it would also alert the enemy!"

"Sequence, I have another treasure here, take a look!"

Hou Yixiao's beady eyes darted around as he pulled out a golden mask from who knows where!

Gu Feng focused his gaze and saw that the mask had a peculiar design, neither smiling nor crying, with a surface that shimred with strange light, truly extraordinary.

"This item was obtained by from a secluded place near the Hundred Flowers City in the Eastern Region. Once worn, it can transform one into the appearance of another, truly remarkable!"

Hou Yixiao chuckled continuously and slowly put the mask on his face.

A stream of light imdiately enveloped his figure, and when it dissipated, he looked exactly like the stall owner lying on the ground, like a twin brother!

"Damn!"

Gu Feng couldn't help but exclaim!

This mask was simply a treasure! How did it end up in this fat man's hands!?

The power of this cultivation artifact wasn't in its strength but in its ability to change appearance, making it a perfect tool for deception!

Gu Feng thought to himself that this item must not remain in Hou Yixiao's hands. If one day this guy transford into his appearance and caused trouble everywhere, it would be a disaster!

Thinking this, Gu Feng swiftly reached out towards Hou Yixiao's spiritual platform. His cultivation was not as profound as Gu Feng's, so he dared not make any rash moves.

After silently probing for a while, Gu Feng discovered that although Hou Yixiao had transford into the stall owner's appearance, his true core still showed a Qi Refining Realm ninth stage cultivation.

Only then did Gu Feng feel slightly relieved, realizing that the mask could only change appearance and couldn't simulate the true core realm.

Seeing Gu Feng slowly retract his hand, Hou Yixiao broke into a cold sweat. Being a smart man, he quickly knelt on the ground and loudly declared, "Rest assured, Sequence, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare transform into your appearance!"

In fact, Gu Feng wasn't particularly worried about this guy having ulterior motives, considering the spiritual soul contract was still in Manager Wu's hands, so he wouldn't dare act recklessly.

However, this fat man had many tricks up his sleeve, so he needed to be suppressed from ti to ti to be used effectively.

Seeing Gu Feng remain silent, Hou Yixiao gritted his teeth and said, "After this matter is settled, I am willing to offer this item to Sequence as a token of loyalty!"

"As if you would dare otherwise, get up!"

Gu Feng, balancing authority and kindness, said slowly, "I can't take your item for free, this mask is indeed a treasure, hmm... how about I buy it from you for thirty thousand superior grade spirit stones?"

Upon hearing this, Hou Yixiao was overjoyed. What did thirty thousand superior grade spirit stones an?!

Heroic Spirit City only paid fifty thousand superior grade spirit stones as the monthly tribute to the Divine King of the Eastern Region!

Such wealth was sothing Hou Yixiao could never have in his lifeti unless sothing unexpected happened!

Without any hesitation, he repeatedly kowtowed and agreed.

Both were delighted, eliminating suspicion, and it ended well.

Looking at the unconscious stall owner and then at the perfectly transford Hou Yixiao, Gu Feng imdiately understood that this was a chain plan: first, soul search the spy for enough information, then have Hou Yixiao transform into his appearance to lure the enemy into a trap!

"Hou Yixiao, heed my command!"

Turning to leave the alley with Fang Feixue, Gu Feng ordered, "Take this person back to the guest room at the City Lord's mansion and proceed according to your plan!"

"I, Hou Yixiao, will faithfully follow the Sequence's orders!"

Bowing deeply, Hou Yixiao appeared full of confidence.
