I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

”Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for showing mercy!”

Sensing that Zou Feng had only extracted a small amount before stopping, the Snake Demon breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Zou Feng, however, pressed his palm against the Snake Demon’s chest. ”I don’t take things for nothing. Brace yourself!”

Before the words were even out, he injected the Snake Demon with a weakened version of his specially concocted Mixed Poison.

The Snake Demon hadn’t expected Zou Feng to actually give something in return. She was about to offer a few more polite words when, to her shock, even the weakened Mixed Poison sent her into immediate, overwhelming ecstasy.

”Aaaaaahhh...”

Her eyes rolled back into her head as she threw her head back and let out a hysterical, strange cry. Her snake tail unconsciously began to wrap around him in a death coil.

Zou Feng knew she wasn’t doing it on purpose, so he let her entangle him.

He had to admit, even though he was wrapped in a snake’s tail, this demon was a Dao Foundation Realm creature after all. Her body had no unpleasant odor, only a sweet, intoxicating fragrance.

Plus, her scales were sleek and cool to the touch, providing a rather unique sensation...

Uh?!

Zou Feng quickly shook his head. ’What am I thinking... this is a sin...’

Eventually, the Snake Demon cried herself hoarse and collapsed, going limp.

But her snake tail still held Zou Feng tightly, not letting go.

”Thank you for the gift of this poison, Fellow Daoist. I have no way to repay you...”

After a moment, the Snake Demon finally realized she had just stumbled upon an incredible opportunity.

If she gradually absorbed the poison he had given her, it would be enough for her to cultivate all the way to the Dao Foundation Realm Late Stage.

Even though he had given it to her casually, the favor was immense.

”I, Shangguan Rongrong, wish to serve you as my master!”

Shangguan Rongrong solemnly bowed to Zou Feng.

She had a keen eye and could clearly see that the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect disciple before her was a bona fide True Inheritor. Moreover, he didn’t seem to harbor any particular animosity toward the Demon Race.

This was despite the fact that the main culprits behind the recent breach of the Celestial Hearing Tower were members of the Demon Race who had previously submitted to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect...

Zou Feng was about to refuse, but a thought occurred to him, and he casually asked, ”Do you know any other Five Poison Demons at your realm, or perhaps at a higher one?”

In the region connecting the Northern Domain and the Eastern Earth Immortal Realm, demons were numerous. It wouldn’t be too difficult to gather Great Demons of the Five Poison Creatures.

Shangguan Rongrong nodded immediately. ”I do, but... the nearby Golden Core Realm Spider Demon has rebelled...”

’Does a higher realm just give them more nerve to cause trouble?’

’It seems they’ve all forgotten the terror of being ruled by the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect...’

”Help me gather the others. Just trade with them!”

With that, he casually formed three Poison Pills and handed them to Shangguan Rongrong.

Though he had formed them casually, to an ordinary Dao Foundation Realm Poison Cultivator, they were like supreme treasures offering immeasurable benefits.

As for why there were only three pills, the Spider Spirit had rebelled, so there was no need to prepare one for a trade.

A trade for her poison was out of the question; he would just have to refine her directly.

As it happened, Shangguan Rongrong knew where that Spider Spirit was now...

”Rest assured, Master. I will see to it!” Shangguan Rongrong accepted readily, stowing the Poison Pills away.

After all, it wasn’t a particularly arduous task.

”May I ask your name, Master...?”

”Zou Feng!”

”Ah, so you’re...”

Shangguan Rongrong was stunned. To think she had run into *the* famous Zou Feng!

”You know me?”

Shangguan Rongrong said excitedly, ”I’ve long heard tales of your deeds, Master. I never imagined I’d have the honor of meeting you today...”

In truth, Zou Feng was exceptionally famous among the Poison Cultivator community in the Eastern Earth Immortal Realm.

Countless Poison Demons saw him as the ideal dual cultivation partner, eager to engage in an ”exchange” with him.

Shangguan Rongrong was filled with regret. She had only pretended to be seductive to save her life, but now that she knew the man before her was Zou Feng, she desperately wished he had taken her up on her offer.

”Focus on your task. Don’t worry about Tribulation Cultivators and traitors. The Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s northern expeditionary army will arrive soon!”

After saying that, Zou Feng no longer planned to stay there.

On the List of Gods, Yu Qing’s name—which had been severely dimmed by the backlash from a Critical Strike—was now visibly regaining its luster.

’This clam spirit is really something else. How can she recover so quickly?!’

’She probably devoured her temporary allies as resources...’

’In any case, this is no place to linger. I have to get out of here and meet up with Jiang Wanzhao and Su Qingyu as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won’t be able to shake Yu Qing anytime soon.’

”If I may ask, how should I contact you when my task is complete, Master?” Shangguan Rongrong understood the situation was grim, so she decided against again expressing her... eagerness.

Zou Feng thought for a moment, then once again pressed his palm against Shangguan Rongrong’s supple, snake-like waist.

This palm strike was to leave his own exclusive Poison Pattern on Shangguan Rongrong.

Once this Poison Pattern was placed, he could track Shangguan Rongrong’s location as long as she wasn’t too far away.

At the same time, Shangguan Rongrong could also activate this Poison Pattern to send a signal to Zou Feng.

However, it was Zou Feng’s first time using such a technique. Still, with his current power, imprinting the Poison Pattern shouldn’t have been an issue.

Yet, when he lifted his hand and saw the Poison Pattern on Shangguan Rongrong’s waist, Zou Feng froze.

Why did the Poison Pattern look like a five-stroke tally mark had been branded on her waist!?

Zou Feng could swear it wasn’t intentional. He could only chalk it up to his inexperience with the technique.

”Thank you, Master. The pattern is... quite distinctive!”

Zou Feng coughed. He couldn’t be bothered to fix it. The Poison Pattern had already set, and trying to alter it now would only cause more problems.

’This will have to do,’ he thought. ’It’s not like anyone else will understand it.’

”Things are going to be chaotic for a while. Watch yourself.”

After saying this, Zou Feng lingered no longer and vanished from the spot.

Shangguan Rongrong watched Zou Feng’s departing figure with reluctance. Then, her expression hardened with resolve. Her snake tail transformed into a pair of legs, and she headed off in a different direction.

’She definitely couldn’t stay at this pool any longer. The Tribulation Cultivators would likely track her here.’

For a demon like Shangguan Rongrong, who had not yet betrayed the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, a direct confrontation with the Tribulation Cultivators would force her to immediately choose a side.

Both the Ninefold Celestial Court and the Yama Underworld had plenty of ways to ensure such demons had no path of retreat.

Because of this, Shangguan Rongrong couldn’t understand what those demons hoped to gain by betraying the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.

Perhaps Golden Core Realm demons who rebelled would enjoy more freedom and be able to do as they pleased. After all, the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect did have a great many rules and restrictions for the Demon Race.

But freedom often came at an unbearable price...

Before long, Zou Feng had flown out from the bottom of the chasm.

If Shangguan Rongrong could really help him gather the Dao Foundation Realm ”Five Poison Creatures” quickly, then this fall would turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Speaking of which, with so many other Skills to cultivate recently, Zou Feng hadn’t focused on his Five Poison Skill in a long time.

He had originally thought that the Dao Foundation Realm Five Poison Creatures were of little use to him now, but his encounter with Shangguan Rongrong proved otherwise.

After absorbing and refining Shangguan Rongrong’s Snake Poison, the cultivation progress of his Five Poison Holy Lotus Skill had actually increased by two points.

For a Cultivation Skill that had reached the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, a two-point increase in progress was quite substantial.

If he weren’t currently being hunted, Zou Feng would have loved for Shangguan Rongrong to lead the way so he could personally ”visit” the other run-of-the-mill Poison Demons.

As for the nearby Spider Spirit who had already rebelled...

Once he recovered his Gun Stock and Gun Holster, and also shook off Yu Qing, he could certainly make a move on her.

Speaking of the Gun Stock and Gun Holster, Zou Feng’s top priority was, of course, to reunite with the two women as soon as possible.

Only when he was fully ”equipped” and they formed their Three-in-One formation could he guarantee the annihilation of Golden Core Realm Tribulation Cultivators.

Thinking of this, Zou Feng stopped on a treetop and then took a sharp breath.

He inhaled for a good ten breaths before stopping.

He finally caught a faint, familiar scent of... foot odor.

This meant his Gun Stock hadn’t gone far. He could find her first and they could team up.

Although he hadn’t found any trace of his Gun Holster yet, given his track record of killing an Immortal Official, he could already attempt to give Yu Qing a little surprise with just his Gun Stock...
