Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 53 – Infiltration Plan for the Witch’s Village
Originally planning to continue fooling Murong Ze, Gu Feng suddenly received a voice transmission from Hou Yixiao.
This fat guy had been missing for several hours overnight, who knows where he went off to fool around.
Gu Feng intended to scold him a bit, but then heard Hou Yixiao asking him to meet in the guest room, suggesting he had some important information.
Find the original at ".
After exchanging a few casual words with Murong Ze, Gu Feng arranged to meet him two days later at the Fuxing Teahouse on Yunluo Street in Yong'an City to discuss how to help him win over Jiang Chuyao.
Gu Feng made this arrangement because he wasn't sure how to take advantage of Murong Ze for maximum benefit in the short term.
Moreover, with the latest intelligence from Hou Yixiao, many matters needed time to be considered and digested.
Murong Ze was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and had completely shed the arrogance of his Murong Family lineage!
He now held Gu Feng in high regard, believing only he could help him win back his beloved, thus he followed Gu Feng's words to the letter.
After a hasty farewell to the love-struck Murong Ze, Gu Feng flew towards the guest room in the Imperial City.
Upon entering, he found Hou Yixiao, who had transformed into Tuoba Zhu's appearance, waiting for him.
Seeing Gu Feng return, Hou Yixiao immediately reverted to his original, sleazy appearance.
"Hou Yixiao, you sure know how to have fun. I told you to throw Tuoba Zhu into the Misty Swamp, and after a whole night with no news, I thought you got trapped too and was about to gather a team to rescue you!"
Gu Feng looked at him with a fake smile, sat on the Buddhist mat, and casually picked up a teacup from the table to take a sip.
Hou Yixiao quickly picked up the teapot, refilled Gu Feng's cup, and said with a smirk, "You're joking, I am always cautious, how could I let myself be in such danger? I wouldn't dare trouble you to come to my rescue!"
"Enough nonsense!"
Gu Feng waved his hand and directly asked, "You said in your transmission that you have something important to discuss with me, what is it?"
Hou Yixiao sat down next to Gu Feng and said, "After dealing with Tuoba Zhu last night, I transformed into his appearance and went to his stall, intending to get familiar with the Gu sources business to avoid any slip-ups in the future..."
Hearing this, Gu Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes.
So, this guy hadn't returned all night because he went to Tuoba Zhu's stall to collect his belongings!
The night market on Yunluo Street had a warehouse prepared for each stall owner since not everyone could afford those expensive storage artifacts.
To stimulate trade, the Jiang family had done a good job with various supporting facilities.
Hou Yixiao had already taken Tuoba Zhu's only Qiankun Bag, which had limited capacity and couldn't hold much.
Hou Yixiao found the key to Tuoba Zhu's stall warehouse in the Qiankun Bag, so he transformed into Tuoba Zhu and went to the warehouse to collect everything.
Gu Feng sneered at his actions, as wherever he went, nothing was left untouched.
This fat guy was naturally greedy and lustful, with sticky fingers.
As long as it didn't interfere with the main task, Gu Feng let him be.
Hou Yixiao excitedly recounted how many Gu sources, artifacts, and refining materials he found in Tuoba Zhu's warehouse.
Finally, Gu Feng couldn't stand it anymore and scolded, "Hou Yixiao, get to the point!"
Hou Yixiao quickly bowed and said, "After collecting that guy's belongings, I intended to report back to you, but unexpectedly, the contact from the White Tiger Witch's Village sought me out!"
It turned out that the White Tiger Witch's Village always had hidden sentries arranged in Yong'an City, usually clan members, to prevent spies from being bribed and turned by Eastern Region cultivators. They rotated every ten years.
Last night, while Hou Yixiao was disguised as Tuoba Zhu, the contact from the White Tiger Witch's Village found him.
They informed him that Tuoba Zhu's term was up and a new clan member would replace him, ordering him to prepare for the handover and be ready to return to the Witch's Village.
"What a great opportunity!"
Gu Feng was secretly delighted. With this unexpected turn of events, Hou Yixiao could use Tuoba Zhu's identity to infiltrate the White Tiger Witch's Village legitimately!
Hou Yixiao was meticulous and cunning, making him the best choice to enter the Northern Wilderness and infiltrate the White Tiger Witch's Village as a vanguard!
Moreover, having obtained all of Tuoba Zhu's memories through soul searching, Gu Feng wasn't worried about Hou Yixiao revealing his true identity.
"When is the handover person coming to the city?" Gu Feng asked.
"In three days..."

Hou Yixiao bowed and replied, "I have arranged everything to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Nodding, Gu Feng reminded, "Remember, safety first. If your identity is exposed, just escape! Even if the mission fails, it's fine!"
Hou Yixiao was grateful and nodded silently, then suddenly remembered something and said with a smirk, "There's one more thing, of great value to you."
Gu Feng listened with interest.
Through Tuoba Zhu's memories and the contact's words from the White Tiger Witch's Village, Hou Yixiao learned something.
The specialty of the Northern Wilderness is Gu sources, which are nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth and have excellent nourishing effects on a cultivator's Dao foundation. However, these Gu sources are unique to the Northern Wilderness and cannot be harvested elsewhere.
Therefore, every spring, the Jiang family of Yong'an City organizes a large team.
Under the banner of the Jiang family caravan, they travel to the four major Witch Villages on the Northern Wilderness border to trade, exchanging spirit stones, cultivation artifacts, and various cultivation methods for the Gu sources from the Witch Villages.
The contact from the White Tiger Witch's Village explicitly expressed hope that Hou Yixiao could infiltrate the Jiang family caravan and quietly return to the Northern Wilderness without leaving any traces.
Hearing this, Gu Feng pondered for a moment and immediately understood Hou Yixiao's intention.
The Jiang family caravan could legitimately enter the four major Witch Villages on the Northern Wilderness border.
If Gu Feng and his team could infiltrate the caravan, they could easily establish connections with the people of the four major Witch Villages without arousing suspicion or exposing their identities.
Calculating carefully, it would be only a few dozen days until spring, when the Jiang family caravan would set off.
Seeing Gu Feng deep in thought, Hou Yixiao quickly suggested, "You just need to find a way to join the Jiang family caravan. Meanwhile, I will make some arrangements within the four major Witch Villages, and we can work together to easily find the whereabouts of that old bastard, the Nine Tribulations Witch King!"
Nodding slowly, Gu Feng thought the same. If they could execute this plan, it would be ideal.
However, there were still two issues to resolve.
First, how to infiltrate the Jiang family caravan;
Second, the forces of the four major Witch Villages were spread across thousands of miles along the Northern Wilderness border. This journey would be long and dangerous. Hou Yixiao would be fine, with the strange mask's protection and the memories obtained through the soul searching method, he was confident.
But for Gu Feng and the others, if they slipped up and were targeted by the Nine Tribulations Witch King, it would be difficult to end well.
