The Gu Master A Ruo secretly bought a special "toy" on the black market to try out a lost secret technique.
He was a strong, sturdy man.
Unlike the lively, vivacious men of the tribe who could sing and dance, this man was terribly taciturn, with eyes as black as night, unlike anyone of their tribe.
The only thing that stood out was the dark purple water lily tattooed on his waist, still waiting to bloom.
Every month at the full moon, the water lily opened petal by petal beneath the moonlight, as tender and dewy as if it were alive, tempting someone to pluck it.
A Ruo had heard the Gu Master granny in the village talk about it and knew it was a method of refining people unique to the Western Regions' demonic cult.
Once the process was complete, the person became a cauldron for men and women of the cult to practice dual cultivation, greatly boosting their cultivation.
Unfortunately, something had gone wrong during this one's refinement. He could only be sent off to do the dirty work of killing, then sold on the black market once he was used up.
But none of that mattered to A Ruo.
All she wanted was to become the next Saintess and uncover the truth behind her mother's death.
A Ruo simply wanted to find a docile, obedient Host for her life-bound Gu.

After his assassination mission failed, Shiqi had the tendons in his hands and feet severed and was thrown into the black market to be sold.
The mark on his waist identified him. In a daze, he was bought by a Gu-wielding woman and tossed into a strange medicinal bath filled with unknown plants.
He had heard that the Gu-wielding women of Yunwu Village were beautiful and mysterious, but used sinister methods.
Once their Gu got inside you, you'd spend the rest of your life as a puppet, manipulated and ordered around.
When he came to on the bed, he saw a young Miao woman staring at him wide-eyed, holding a black jar.
With the last of his strength, he pinned her to the bed and shakily raised his hands, their meridians completely ruined, trying to strangle her to death.
He would rather enrage the Gu Master in front of him and be tortured to death than spend the rest of his life on the bed, enslaved and submissive to her.
But the next moment, the Gu-wielding woman gently took his injured wrist, then reached up and rubbed his head.
As if she hadn't had enough, she ran her hand over the scrapes on his face.
Shiqi had never had anyone affectionately pat his head before. He froze.
Seeing his reaction, A Ruo, raising someone for the first time, was quite pleased too.
Well, he might be a little disobedient, but he seemed much easier to handle than the snakes in her courtyard.
