Chapter 1980: Chapter 1962: Five Poisons Cult (3)

Wang Hong also wiggled her plump body as she left.

In the afternoon, with nothing to do, Chen Yang went to the Green Cloud Taoist Temple again.

Nowadays, Green Cloud Taoist Temple is bustling with activity, with nearly a hundred people living in the courtyard, including members of the Chou Alliance.

Recently, Taoist Liu has recruited quite a few disciples.

Among them are some cultivators with decent talent.

With so many disciples, Taoist Liu no longer needs to go out every day.

Now, during the day, he opens the doors to do business, providing guidance and fortune-telling to pilgrims, making quite a bit of money.

At night, he teaches his recruited disciples, cultivating them into a state of cultivation.

He’s very busy.

Chen Yang went to the Green Cloud Taoist Temple to meet him for a chat, then found Chen Tianmin to catch up on recent developments.

After over ten days of recuperation, most members of the Chou Alliance have recovered.

They have now settled in, and are starting to consider how to expand and develop the Chou Alliance.

"Uncle, what are your plans moving forward?" Chen Yang asked about Chen Tianmin’s ideas for acquiring resources.

"Lately, I’ve been discussing this matter with Old Qiu, but haven’t thought of any good methods yet. We’re considering living off the mountains and waters for now," Chen Tianmin replied.

Chen Yang didn’t quite understand his meaning.

He Xiran, laughing, explained: "Uncle means finding valuable items in the mountains to sell, earning some cultivation resources to temporarily meet daily needs."

With He Xiran’s explanation, Chen Yang immediately understood.

"There are many herbs in the mountains, and I estimate there are quite a few spiritual beasts deeper in; we can certainly rely on them temporarily." Chen Yang nodded, agreeing with Chen Tianmin’s plan.

"Yes, for now, that’s all we can do; we’ll see after we get through this period," Chen Tianmin said, as it’s his only option.

"By the way, Yang Zi, I heard from villagers today that there’s been an outbreak in nearby Linghe Village; have you gone to check on it?" After discussing development matters, Chen Tianmin suddenly shifted his focus and asked.

"I went to check it out."

"What’s the situation like?" Chen Tianmin seemed quite concerned about this.

Chen Yang truthfully reported the situation.

Upon hearing about the outbreak, Chen Tianmin furrowed his brows deeply.

He seemed to know something.

"Uncle, what’s going on?" Chen Yang noticed something unusual and asked.

"Chen Yang, outbreaks were perhaps normal twenty or thirty years ago, but now, if they’re still appearing, have you considered other possibilities?" Chen Tianmin looked up at Chen Yang and said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately realized that Chen Tianmin seemed to know something.

"I’ve naturally considered it; the secret bureau is already investigating and has some leads."

"The secret bureau has intervened in the investigation?" Chen Tianmin appeared somewhat surprised.

"Yes." Chen Yang nodded and said, "They currently suspect that the outbreak might be linked to an organization called the Five Poisons Cult, but there’s no concrete evidence yet."

"Five Poisons Cult."

Chen Tianmin softly murmured, "So it’s them."

"Uncle, do you know about the Five Poisons Cult?" Chen Yang asked.

Chen Tianmin seemed caught in some memories and only after a few seconds looked at Chen Yang, nodding: "I’ve heard a bit about the Five Poisons Cult."

"This organization specializes in cultivating poison arts, using toxic substances to cultivate and enhance their own cultivation, which is quite bizarre."

Chen Yang already had some understanding of the Five Poisons Cult from Ma Jiantao, so he wasn’t very surprised upon hearing Chen Tianmin’s explanation.
