Chapter 238: Five Poisons Cult Inheritance! Establishing the Luo Net

As Qin Yu stepped inside, an attendant in green robes silently approached. His attitude was respectful but not fawning. “Welcome, valued guest. How may I be of service?”

“I’m here to buy intelligence,” Qin Yu said concisely.

“Please, follow me.”

The attendant led Qin Yu through several doorways and into a private room.

The room was simply furnished with only a table and two chairs. A landscape painting hung on the wall.

A plain-faced, middle-aged man in scholar’s robes was already waiting. With a sweep of his Divine Thought, Qin Yu discovered that this scholar was actually a Primordial Mansion Realm cultivator.

‘Clearly, he already knows who I am.’

“I am Pavilion Master Wen, head of the Golden Wind Pavilion’s Yunlong Sub-Pavilion. What intelligence does Inspector Qin wish to purchase?”

Pavilion Master Wen looked at Qin Yu, his gaze calm.

“I need detailed information on the Five Poison Sect and its Inheritance Grotto Heaven. Additionally, I require intelligence on four other factions: the Profound Yin Sect, the Jin Family, Black Death Valley, and the Soul Refining Sect.”

Qin Yu said.

“The intelligence Inspector Qin requires is quite extensive, and some of it is sensitive. Information on the Profound Yin Sect’s True Monarchs Primordial Spirit, for example, is not cheap. What level of detail are you looking for?”

“One hundred thousand Low Grade Primordial Stones!”

Qin Yu’s eyes flickered as he retrieved a pile of Upper Grade Primordial Stones from his Space Ring.

‘He knew the Golden Wind Pavilion’s rules: intelligence was graded, and the prices were clearly defined.’

“Straightforward!”

A smile appeared on Pavilion Master Wen’s face. A transaction like this was rare in Yunlong County.

“Inspector Qin, please wait a moment.”

Inside the private room, Pavilion Master Wen poured Qin Yu a pot of tea. About fifteen minutes later, an attendant in green robes walked in, holding a specially made Jade Scroll.

“Inspector Qin, this contains the intelligence you requested. The volume of information is considerable, so it must be read with your Divine Sense.”

Qin Yu accepted the Jade Scroll and immersed his Divine Sense into it.

A massive stream of information flooded into his mind, neatly categorized and perfectly clear.

First was the information on the Five Poison Sect!

The Five Poison Sect was founded over ten thousand years ago. At its peak, it was presided over by three True Monarchs Primordial Spirit and was known for its mastery of poisons and Gu. Its core Inheritance Grotto Heaven, the “Ten Thousand Poisons Cave,” was an independent, minor Grotto Heaven attached to the main world.

It had been created by the founding patriarch of the Five Poison Sect using his immense power. The Grotto Heaven was filled with deadly miasma, Poisonous Insects, and venomous plants, making it one of the sect’s Holy Lands.

The intelligence contained general information on the three True Monarchs Primordial Spirit.

For instance, there were details about the strongest among them, the Five Poison Divine Monarch, including the Cultivation Techniques he excelled at. Important areas within the Grotto Heaven, such as the Gu Breeding Pool, the Poison Dragon Pool, and the Hundred Herbs Garden, were also briefly described.

The descriptions weren’t exhaustive, but they were enough to keep Qin Yu from going in completely blind.

The intelligence on the other four major factions—the Profound Yin Sect, the Jin Family, Black Death Valley, and the Soul Refining Sect—was comparatively clearer. There was general information on their True Monarchs Primordial Spirit, Myriad Phenomena Masters, and even their Primordial Mansion Realm experts.

Some of this was public knowledge that Qin Yu already knew, but it was nowhere near as comprehensive.

For example, the entry on the Cold Soul Master clearly stated that he practiced the “Profound Yin Cold Soul Formula” and that his Dharma Aspect was a four-thousand-foot ‘Profound Ice Giant Spirit’.

Of course, there were no further specifics.

The intelligence on the other Myriad Phenomena Masters was much the same. While one hundred thousand Primordial Stones was not a small sum, for experts at the Myriad Phenomena and Primordial Spirit Realms, just learning their names and a few general details was already an excellent result.

‘With this, he now had a clearer picture.’

“Not bad. I’m very satisfied.”

Qin Yu put away the Jade Scroll but did not leave. Instead, he spoke again.

“One more thing. I need a file on the Demon Suppression Bureau’s ‘True Monarch of the Infinite’. Detailed intelligence. Especially regarding his temperament, personality, disciples, and followers.”

While Qin Yu was buying intelligence at the Golden Phoenix Tower, news that he had slain Shen Tu Lu, a Myriad Phenomena Realm Guardian of the Blood Demon Sect, grew wings and spread throughout Ling State at an astonishing speed.

It even began to spread to more distant regions.

The shockwaves it created far surpassed those from his previous exploits of wiping out Evil Demon strongholds or the battle at the Bishui River.

The name Qin Yu.

It was now known by countless people.
