I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

By now, Zou Feng’s ability to identify women by their scent had reached the level of a Refined Skill.

He could pick out the scent he was looking for from a great distance away.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that Su Qingyu’s current ’foot odor’ was growing increasingly potent.

Evidently, this was because Su Qingyu’s Calamity Poison Body had once again improved.

If this kept up, Zou Feng didn’t dare to imagine the sheer destructive power Su Qingyu would one day unleash with a single step...

Fortunately, though it was called ’foot odor,’ it was actually just a poisonous gas that wasn’t particularly foul-smelling.

While searching for Su Qingyu, Zou Feng continued to find traces of Tribulation Cultivators.

However, these Tribulation Cultivators were mostly in small squads of two or three, not large groups.

To Zou Feng, they were basically walking Elixirs, ripe for instant Refinement.

And so, ’snacking’ as he searched, he soon caught sight of Su Qingyu in the distance.

In truth, most of the Tribulation Cultivators Zou Feng had just encountered had been chasing Su Qingyu.

But since Su Qingyu could release poison as she ran, allowing her ’foot odor’ to diffuse, the pursuing Tribulation Cultivators became dizzy and disoriented. Many of them lost her trail completely.

No wonder Zou Feng had found it especially easy to deal with those Tribulation Cultivators.

At that moment, Su Qingyu was lingering upstream in a creek, dipping her feet into the water as if playing.

Downstream, four Tribulation Cultivators who had been following the creek upward had already been overcome by the fumes and were now passed out in the water.

As for why they had so stubbornly stuck to the waterway, it was because the fumes had already muddled their minds during the chase.

Little did they know that the moment they stepped into the stream, they had entered Su Qingyu’s Poison Domain.

What a move—’Water Source Contamination’!

”Congratulations, Palace Master. Your Poison Body must have reached Great Success, yes?” Zou Feng materialized behind Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu had been concentrating on releasing her poison, her nerves stretched taut. When she suddenly heard a man’s voice, she reacted purely on instinct, executing a spinning back kick.

Zou Feng’s smile never faltered. He simply extended two fingers and caught her ankle in a firm grip.

”Tsk! You scared me to death! Couldn’t you have said something sooner?”

Seeing it was Zou Feng, Su Qingyu patted her chest, her heart still pounding with fright.

”Did you lose our pursuers?”

Zou Feng released her and shook his head. ”There’s still a Golden Core Realm Great Demon we can’t shake off. It won’t be long before it’s back on our tail.”

Hearing this, Su Qingyu mused, ”So what’s next... do we find Senior Sister Jiang first, or do we take another gamble?”

After all, they had a track record of successfully trapping and killing a Golden Core Realm Immortal Official, so Su Qingyu wasn’t particularly intimidated by the news of a Great Demon of the same Realm.

Zou Feng was tempted to set an ambush right then and there, to trap and kill the Clam Spirit just as they had before. The problem was, he hadn’t accumulated enough side effects.

The most potent batch of side effects he had accumulated had already been unleashed on the Clam Spirit when he jumped off that cliff.

He had stored up a few more since then, but they were nowhere near enough to cause any serious problems for that durable Clam Spirit.

”Let’s find Senior Sister Jiang first,” Zou Feng said. ”That Great Demon is a Clam Spirit, much stronger than the Immortal Official we killed before. It’s too risky for just the two of us.”

”A Clam Spirit?”

Su Qingyu’s interest was piqued. ”I’ve heard that members of that particular Demon Race are born with Dual Cultivation Saint Bodies. Don’t tell me you want to capture it alive?”

”Not my thing,” Zou Feng said. ”But I heard this demon has something going on with the Dragon King, Luo Gang, so...”

Su Qingyu’s eyes lit up as she finished his sentence, ”So it’s a poisonous clam!?”

Zou Feng nodded, but the more he heard the words ’poisonous clam,’ the stranger they sounded.

”Excellent! What are we waiting for? Let’s find Senior Sister Jiang and make some clam chowder!” Su Qingyu was already getting impatient.

But nothing could go to waste. Zou Feng first subjected all the Tribulation Cultivators who were passed out in the stream to Refinement before setting out again with Su Qingyu.

Along the way, he had created another four External Pills and performed Refinement on five cultivators of the Impermanence rank. However, for Zou Feng, whose power had already soared to the peak of the Dao Foundation Realm Late Stage, the benefits from these once-potent resources were now greatly diminished.

Besides, having already used Refinement on a Golden Core Realm Tribulation Cultivator, going back to those in the Dao Foundation Realm... felt like eating something bland right after a rich, flavorful meal. How could it not taste dull?

Fortunately, the External Pills could be stored and used later as restorative consumables.

As for the gains from the Impermanence cultivators... since not all of them were Poison Cultivators, the Refinement of most could only be used to enhance his Soul-Seizing Blood Eyes.

But now that his Soul-Seizing Blood Eyes had reached the Realm of Perfection, its rate of growth had inevitably slowed.

Therefore, even after the Refinement of several Impermanence-rank cultivators, the boost to this technique was marginal at best.

In truth, what Zou Feng craved most now wasn’t Immortal Officials or Judges.

He had already experienced the Refinement of both types, after all. To forge his ideal Golden Core, he needed to prioritize a diversity of resources in the accumulation phase.

A Golden Core Realm Great Demon—and an exceptionally rare Clam Spirit at that—was clearly a premium choice.

The two then continued their high-speed search for Jiang Wanzhao.

However, more than an hour passed with no sign of her.

It couldn’t be helped. Jiang Wanzhao wasn’t a Poison Cultivator, so Zou Feng’s sensitivity to poison was useless here.

Furthermore, with no signal from the Celestial Dao Cauldron in this area, the Token from the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect was just a useless ornament.

However, while Zou Feng couldn’t find Jiang Wanzhao, she could, in fact, easily use other methods to let him know her location.
