I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

Just now, to neutralize the poison, he had been rubbing Jiang Wanzhao all over. It would be a miracle if her scent hadn’t clung to him.

But from the look on Su Qingyu’s face, she had clearly misunderstood something.

”I was just helping Senior Sister Jiang with the poison. It’s not like she... did something to me.”

But Su Qingyu only grew more confused. ”With poison? A poison that even a True Disciple at the Golden Core Realm couldn’t handle, and you could?”

Zou Feng was exhausted and couldn’t be bothered to explain. ”Let’s just... exchange for a bit,” he said. ”You’ll see.”

It wasn’t a sudden burst of passion. The ”exchange” between Poison Cultivators would genuinely help him speed up the Refinement of the wolf poison.

And so, with Su Qingyu’s help, Zou Feng officially began the Refinement of the Golden Core Realm wolf poison.

The moment he began to refine even a tiny amount, his earlier exhaustion vanished.

It had to be said, refining a wolf poison so potent it was on the verge of becoming a Wolf Demon itself was an exceptionally dangerous affair.

Fortunately, Zou Feng didn’t have to bear this risk himself.

Instead, he passed it on to Lian Zexing, the traitor from the Celestial Hearing Tower.

The reason he’d chosen Lian Zexing to bear the poison’s side effects was, of course, that he wanted to use this opportunity to poison the man.

Moreover, leveraging the wolf poison’s properties, Zou Feng could control its side effects to a certain degree, making the poison lie dormant and hidden within Lian Zexing’s body for now.

When the time was right, he could detonate it like a remote-controlled bomb, causing the poison in Lian Zexing to erupt instantly.

Whether Lian Zexing could survive the poison’s eruption... well, that would be up to fate.

While he didn’t have to worry about the side effects of the Refinement, his assistant, Su Qingyu, was unavoidably tainted by the ”wildness” the wolf poison carried.

Su Qingyu soon fell into a state of feral madness, turning the ”exchange” between Poison Cultivators into a primitive, brutal brawl...

When the brawl ended, the two would naturally switch back to ”exchange” mode, repeating the cycle.

「In the blink of an eye, three days and nights had passed.」

”Way of the External Pill Immortal (Great Success), Progress: 58%”

”Soul-Snatching Blood Pupil (Great Success), Progress: 35%”

Despite working tirelessly for three days and nights, he had only completed about a third of the wolf poison’s Refinement.

Even so, Zou Feng had already reaped substantial, tangible rewards.

His progress in the Way of the External Pill Immortal had surged, and his Soul-Snatching Blood Pupil had also reached the Great Success Realm.

’It’s a poison from a Wolf Demon, yet it’s allowing two of my Tribulation Cultivator Evil Arts to advance so much...’

Zou Feng, however, was not at all surprised by this.

Xia Jingrui’s betrayal of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect wasn’t some snap decision made on a whim.

First, she must have been enticed by the Ninefold Celestial Court and the Yama Underworld, from whom she would have received immense benefits.

In other words, Xia Jingrui’s wolf poison was so potent—so much so that even a True Inheritor of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect like Jiang Wanzhao could barely withstand it—because she had clearly received a massive boon from the Tribulation Cultivator factions. This boon had allowed her wolf poison to improve by leaps and bounds.

Given more time to evolve by further leveraging the benefits from the Tribulation Cultivators, Xia Jingrui might have even surpassed Jiang Wanzhao...

But now, all of it was to Zou Feng’s advantage.

And this was only after refining a third of it. ’Once I finish refining the entire wolf poison,’ he thought, ’the Way of the External Pill Immortal and the Soul-Snatching Blood Pupil will definitely break through to the Realm of Perfection.’

’Once those two Evil Arts reach Perfection, I’ll be able to step into the Dao Foundation Realm Late Stage and get a glimpse of the path to the Golden Core...’

As his partner in the ”exchange,” Su Qingyu had also benefited immensely.

Becoming intimate Dao Companions with Zou Feng had been an incredibly wise decision on her part.

Their ”exchanges” had brought her directly to the Dao Foundation Realm Middle Stage.

With her Low Tier Dao Foundation, it should have been impossible for her to advance to the Dao Foundation Realm Middle Stage so quickly.

But because she was constantly ”exchanging” with Zou Feng, and their Poison Techniques were so compatible, it was as if she were sharing his Celestial Tier Dao Foundation.

’That’s right.’ Su Qingyu had also pondered the reason for her rapid advancement.

’After thinking it over and over, the only possible explanation was that she was sharing Zou Feng’s Celestial Tier Dao Foundation.’

Besides Su Qingyu, Xiaolv also benefited greatly from the wolf poison.

Now, not only could Xiaolv’s head take on a human form, but a pair of its claws could also transform into human hands.

Naturally, its venom had also mutated and grown stronger.

It still had the body of a strange insect, but with a human head and a pair of human hands, it looked increasingly bizarre.

Zou Feng had a feeling that once Xiaolv’s transformation was complete, her venom would undergo another exponential leap in potency.

’When that happens, Xiaolv will likely become a crucial part of my process for Building the Golden Core!’

All in all, the benefits from refining the wolf poison over the past three days had far exceeded his expectations.

But too much of a good thing could be bad. It was time to pause and fully digest his recent gains.

Also, with Zhao Feixiong and Luo Zhenzhen’s wedding date drawing near, Zou Feng had to get involved with security preparations.

This marital alliance between the Yu Long Lake Dragon Race and the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect could not be allowed to fail.

As Jiang Wanzhao’s right-hand man, Zou Feng couldn’t just keep holing up in his room, raising a racket with Su Qingyu every day.

Any fish that had slipped through the net needed to be cleaned up—and quickly.

He also needed to prepare for the worst and be ready for any trouble the Tribulation Cultivators might cause.

After leaving the Celestial Hearing Tower, Zou Feng was about to head out to hunt Tribulation Cultivators—his favorite pastime—and restock his dwindling supply of External Pills. But just then, Zhang Chi, from whom he hadn’t heard in ages, suddenly sent word that he had something urgent to report in person.
