I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

”Zou Lang, this is the decision we came to after discussing it,” Tian Yun explained from the side. ”Cultivating the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill in the most suitable environment will absolutely have a better effect!”

Zou Feng naturally agreed with this, but he couldn’t help but feel that with the way these rooms were decorated, the enhancements were probably meant more to heighten the mood...

Needless to say what came next. It had been so long since they’d cultivated the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill, and neither Zou Feng nor Tian Yun and the other women felt at ease.

For now, everything else had to be put aside. It was time for the Dragon and Tiger Convergence.

Zou Feng had also learned the Dual Cultivation Dao from the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills. Although he certainly couldn’t perform it now, he could try to merge this method into the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill.

Zou Feng hoped to use this to create an even more potent Dual Cultivation Skill, allowing the five women to benefit even more.

After a long-awaited bout of passion, Zou Feng made his rounds with all five women. It wasn’t until dusk that they finally relieved the ache of their separation.

But that still wasn’t the end of it. The moment Zou Feng left the room, he sensed Su Qingyu waiting outside the main gate.

So he had no choice but to leave the Hongxing Inn again and have an... ”exchange” with Su Qingyu out under the open sky.

”Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill (Extraordinary to Saint), Progress: 59%”

After finally taking care of Su Qingyu and sending her away satisfied, Zou Feng at last had a moment to check the skill’s progress.

Just as he’d expected, his progress had skyrocketed after this long-awaited cultivation session. This was because his own strength had already seen a massive increase, especially with the added enhancement of the Dual Cultivation Dao.

And this was before the Dual Cultivation Dao had even been fully merged with the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill.

Once he cultivated a little longer and successfully merged the Dual Cultivation Dao, the skill should logically advance straight to the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm.

His tryst in the wild was complete and the rewards were plentiful. Zou Feng got up and prepared to head back to the Hongxing Inn.

But as soon as he took a step, a familiar figure appeared at the edge of his vision.

Zou Feng’s expression didn’t change as he walked straight toward the figure.

”Senior Sister Liu, what brings you here?”

The visitor was none other than Liu Chenyu, who, even now, still wore a look of utter dejection.

Liu Chenyu sized up Zou Feng for a long moment, then said with regret, ”If I had known it would be like this, I would have rather skipped the expedition to the Outer Realm and stayed to guard you, to go to the Northern Domain with you...”

”Senior Sister Liu, there’s no point in saying these things now!”

”If there’s nothing else, please go back.” Zou Feng was in no mood for a leisurely chat with Liu Chenyu.

However, Liu Chenyu continued to block Zou Feng’s path, biting her lip as she said, ”Tell me. What will it take for you to become Dao Companions with me?”

Her words made Zou Feng laugh. ”Enough. You know it’s absolutely impossible, so why waste your time?”

”As long as you agree, I’ll give up the other eight Dao Companions! From now on, I’ll spend the rest of my life only with you!” Liu Chenyu said, making a final attempt.

And she considered this to be her most sincere offer.

But to Zou Feng, it just sounded like Liu Chenyu had lost her mind.

More words would be useless. Zou Feng immediately turned, walked around Liu Chenyu, and departed with a flick of his sleeve.

”Zou Feng, you and I are both prodigies of the Golden Core Realm and proficient in the Dual Cultivation Dao! You can’t possibly be unaware of the mutual benefits we would gain if we joined together!”

”Why let worldly views sway you? As long as one can seek the Great Dao, nothing else matters... You... you’ll regret this!”

Seeing that Zou Feng was completely impervious to reason and leaving with such resolve, Liu Chenyu started to yell, her voice bordering on a roar.

But Zou Feng had already quickened his pace, vanishing from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Of course, as he left, he didn’t forget to periodically check the List of Gods.

To Zou Feng’s slight surprise, Liu Chenyu had still not appeared on the list, even now.

’Just how much does she crave my body? Even after we’ve completely torn away all pretense, this woman still hasn’t developed any killing intent toward me...’

’Du Rentian’s name on the list, on the other hand, is extremely abnormal. I can feel that guy’s killing intent boiling over.’

’A simp like him is no longer qualified to be a True Disciple of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.’

’I’ll have to kill him the first chance I get.’

’Challenge him directly on the Dao Discussion Platform?’

’Leaving aside whether Du Rentian would even agree, the higher-ups of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect most likely wouldn’t approve.’

’Once you reach the level of a True Disciple, you can’t just casually challenge someone on the Dao Discussion Platform.’

’Unless there are special circumstances, it’s unlikely the Upper Sect Elders would approve it.’

’Forget it. No need to go through all that trouble. I’ll either torment him to death with the side effects, or I’ll kill him when I get the chance to run into him outside the surveillance range of the Celestial Dao Cauldron. There’s no rush.’

「Three days later.」

Zou Feng’s promotion ceremony to officially become a True Disciple was held as scheduled.

The actual ceremony was not as grand as anticipated.

Only three Upper Sect Elders were in attendance; the rest of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s leadership was not present.

Zou Feng had been prepared to finally gaze upon the legendary, elusive titans of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, but his wish went unfulfilled.

But upon reflection, it made sense. ’To truly cause a stir throughout the entire Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, one ultimately has to become a Direct Disciple.’

The one presiding over this True Disciple ceremony was the Upper Sect Elder whom Zou Feng knew best, the Undying Master.

It was always the Undying Master who came to ”liaise” with him, which made Zou Feng suspect that the leadership of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect was likely playing the ”early investment” game.

After all, back when he was still in the Outer Sect, the Undying Master had taken the initiative to approach him and clearly express his admiration.

’So, if I’m promoted to Direct Disciple in the future, will I be absorbed into the Undying lineage?’

The more Zou Feng thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, judging by the Daoist title ”Undying,” this Upper Sect Elder had definitely started out through Body Refinement.

He himself had entered the Dao through martial arts and was still continuously practicing Body Refining Techniques to this day. He was indeed a good fit for the Undying lineage.

Most of the True Disciple promotion ceremony was just a formality. The final blessing from the Celestial Dao Cauldron was the only part with any tangible benefits.

Zou Feng was no stranger to the Celestial Dao Cauldron bestowing a fortuitous blessing.

He had received a share of such a blessing last time when he attended Jiang Wanzhao’s 500th birthday celebration.

And it was by relying on the Clear Heart Soul Suppressing Talisman that came from that blessing that he ultimately avoided falling prey to Liu Chenyu’s trap in the Demon Suppression Tower.

Therefore, the things granted by the fortuitous blessing were mostly what the Celestial Dao Cauldron deemed the recipient needed most.

Naturally, Zou Feng was quite looking forward to it.

To be honest, he really couldn’t guess what it was that he needed most at the moment.

After all, Zou Feng had made out like a bandit on his trip to the Northern Domain. He wasn’t lacking anything for the time being; on the contrary, he needed time to properly digest what he had obtained.

The next moment, an incredibly pleasant bell chime rang out, and amidst its resonant peels, a massive golden sphere of light slowly descended.

Compared to the sphere of fortuitous blessing at Jiang Wanzhao’s 500th birthday celebration, this one was clearly larger, and its golden light was far more dazzling.

Seeing this, Zou Feng immediately leaped high into the air and plunged into the sphere of fortuitous blessing.

He was quickly enveloped by the sphere of blessing, bathed in its ”fortuitous providence.”

He had to admit, the feeling of being enveloped by providence was so blissful that Zou Feng almost thought he was about to undergo Ascension.

This was more than just a pleasant feeling; it was a tangible boost to his providence.

It was several dozen times stronger than the luck enhancement brought by Su Qingyu’s Calamity Poison Body.

However, this boost to his providence was not permanent. Based on his intuition, Zou Feng estimated it would probably only last for a few years.

But this was already extraordinary. The Celestial Dao Cauldron could casually bestow something as profound and mysterious as providence upon others. Its power was simply inconceivable.

’I just wonder if my List of Gods, once fully upgraded, will be able to rival the Celestial Dao Cauldron.’

The providence enhancement was complete. Logically, a tangible reward should be bestowed next.

However, Zou Feng waited with eager anticipation for a while, but no such reward appeared.

Just as Zou Feng was beginning to suspect that something had gone wrong with the Celestial Dao Cauldron, a completely emotionless will entered his sea of consciousness.

The meaning conveyed by that will was simple and direct.

It was telling him to personally slay Gongyang Wuji!

Zou Feng was stunned for a moment. ’What’s going on? The thing I need most right now is to kill Gongyang Wuji?’
