Slavery Gu is named as a stronger way to control slaves than poison scorpion Gu. The first mention treats that option as rank five, expensive, and rare.
The narration draws that comparison at the slave market in Shang clan city. Fang Yuan has just bought a whole cage of Wei clan slaves. The Gu Master there hands him a rank three poison scorpion Gu, which the narration calls the most common method of controlling slaves. ch. 330
Implant and ranks
Slavery Gu are available from rank one to five. Once implanted on someone, they can control that Gu Master. A rank five copy can control a rank five Gu Master and is precious and extremely rare. After killing Zhang San San, Fang Yuan obtains a rank five slavery Gu from the dead man’s aperture. Fang Yuan guesses that Zhang San San, an enslavement path Gu Master, kept it unused while waiting for a rank five target, since spending it on a rank four Gu Master would be a huge loss. ch. 387
Planting
Refined copies
Fang Yuan hands newly made slavery Gu to little Hu Immortal. Slavery Gu range from rank one to five; he refines only rank three copies, enough to enslave the rockmen tribes. Those copies are used on the most crucial rockmen, and their souls are not Fang Yuan’s match, so they are enslaved. ch. 422
Soul and people
Beast enslavement Gu and slavery Gu both control the soul, making their user a ruler of the mind. ch. 442 People are much harder to manipulate than beasts, and enslaving a Gu Master with a strong soul weighs most on the controller’s soul. So a Gu Master rarely controls more than five slaves. Normally he can control only one slave Gu Master. ch. 495
