I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

Over the past few days, Yue Ya had been extremely cautious, carrying the Blood Spirit Pill while constantly hiding and struggling to survive.

She could no longer stay in her previous cellar, as it had already been discovered by the Medicine Men. Fortunately, Yue Ya had sensed something amiss beforehand and managed to escape in time.

These Medicine Men were, naturally, the test subjects for the Tribulation Cultivators of the Ninefold Celestial Court. After becoming Medicine Men, some of them turned into zombie-like creatures, wandering aimlessly. However, others underwent physical mutations. On the surface, they still looked like normal humans, but in reality, their temperaments had drastically changed, rendering them exceptionally brutal.

Eventually, Yue Ya found herself cornered in an alley by two Medicine Men.

”What are you carrying? Hand it over, and we’ll let you go...” one Medicine Man said, flashing what he thought was a friendly smile as he reached out his hand toward Yue Ya.

Behind her, the other Medicine Man silently and slowly closed in.

Hearing this, Yue Ya looked up tremblingly. In a timid voice, she asked, ”Really? If I give this to you, you’ll let me go?”

The Medicine Man’s smile widened. ”Of course. I keep my word. Bring it here...”

The next moment, Yue Ya actually lifted the Blood Spirit Pill she had been clutching to her chest, holding it up with her left hand.

How could these two Medicine Men have ever seen such a Divine Object? The bizarre fluctuations radiating from the Blood Spirit Pill instantly captured all their attention, as if their very souls were being sucked into it.

”Is... is this?!”

After the initial shock, wild ecstasy washed over their faces. If they offered such a treasure to those Upper Immortals, they would undoubtedly receive a handsome reward. It wasn’t even impossible for them to earn an opportunity to join the Ninefold Celestial Court.

However, the wild ecstasy on their faces lasted for less than a breath. They suddenly realized that the little girl, whom they had perceived as a lamb to the slaughter, sprang into action with unbelievable speed.

Yue Ya’s movements resembled a Spiritual Snake Emerges from the Hole. Before the Medicine Man in front of her could react, she dashed to his side and landed a solid palm strike squarely on his lower back. Without a moment’s pause, she crouched on the ground like a toad. Pushing off with both her hands and feet simultaneously, she lunged at the panicked Medicine Man behind her...

As the disciple Zou Er had taken in, how could Yue Ya not have practiced the Five Poison Stance and Five Poison Palm? Her current skills were naturally insufficient against the Tribulation Cultivators of the Ninefold Celestial Court, but they were more than enough to handle these Medicine Men.

Although she had dispatched the two Medicine Men, her prolonged malnutrition immediately induced a wave of dizziness, and she nearly collapsed to the ground. Still, she quickly shook her head vigorously, forcing herself to stay awake.

Then, Yue Ya solemnly stowed away the Blood Spirit Pill and swiftly vanished at the end of the alley.

She firmly believed that her master would return, so she had to protect this Blood Spirit Pill. She instinctively realized that this Blood Spirit Pill was the proof she needed to reunite with her master. If she lost it, she would no longer be Zou Feng’s disciple. Even if they crossed paths in the future, her master would not acknowledge her...

Despite this premonition being indescribable, Yue Ya was absolutely certain of it.

Not long after Yue Ya fled the narrow alley, a Black Robed Daoist strolled leisurely to the entrance. He walked briskly to the corpses of the two Medicine Men, who had already died from the poison. He looked down and examined them for a moment before stroking the beard on his chin. ”Interesting...”

He then flicked his finger upward. Five white cranes with ferocious eyes immediately flew over from the sky.

”Search. There’s something good nearby!”

With a sharp cry, the five white cranes immediately split up and began their search...

Meanwhile, on the Holy Lotus, Zou Feng naturally wasn’t going to stand at the bow of the ship all day acting pretentious. Most of the time, he stayed in the quiet room, relying on the Visualization Skill to cultivate the Great Universal Hand.

However, because of his constant restlessness, his cultivation was progressing quite poorly. He had assumed that over these past few days, the Great Universal Hand, which was only a hair’s breadth away, would smoothly break through to the Realm of Transcendence. To his surprise, even though they were about to arrive at the Northern Domain, the progress of the Great Universal Hand had only increased by a single fraction.

It was currently stuck at 99%, with no signs of an imminent breakthrough, which was rather awkward.

”Never mind. I’ll deal with Zou Er’s situation first before worrying about this,” Zou Feng thought.

With this in mind, he left the quiet room and gazed into the distance. More than ten days had passed since they departed from the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, and they had arrived near the ruins of the Celestial Hearing Tower.

However, Zou Feng naturally wouldn’t head toward the Celestial Hearing Tower. Instead, he steered the ship toward the location of Cheyue Country. Although Cheyue Country was situated in an extremely remote area, it was still marked on the map.

At this point, Zou Feng could conclude that Cheyue Country was exactly where Zou Er had run into trouble. After all, before Zou Er entered this region, Zou Feng could still sense his presence. Now that they were getting closer and closer to Cheyue Country, Zou Feng grew even more certain of this judgment.

”For Zou Er to stumble so hard that he couldn’t even escape, there is definitely more to this place than meets the eye...

”The three great Immortal Officials—Red Tiger, Jade Tiger, and Cyan Wolf—are entrenched here? That works out perfectly!”

In Zou Feng’s mind, this trip to Cheyue Country was not just to find what Zou Er had left for him. Along the way, he would definitely need to refine Red Tiger and the other Immortal Officials into top-tier External Pills to further perfect his Nine Immortal Ascension Skills.

While the Flying Celestial Ship sailed majestically toward Cheyue Country, the hidden spies of the Ninefold Celestial Court stationed throughout the region naturally noticed the presence of the Holy Lotus. They immediately deduced that this Flying Celestial Ship was clearly heading for Cheyue Country. Therefore, these hidden spies hastily relayed the information using the unique communication methods of the Ninefold Celestial Court.

Just a few hours later, the Royal Palace of Cheyue Country received the news.

”What? A True Disciple of the Pinnacle Celestial Demon Sect is heading toward our Cheyue Country?!”

From the scale of the Flying Celestial Ship, one could deduce that there was absolutely a True Disciple presiding over it. However, the Tribulation Cultivator scouts naturally didn’t know that the True Disciple aboard the Holy Lotus was Zou Feng, whose reputation had skyrocketed in recent years to rival that of Gongyang Wuji.

At this moment, the man who shot up in astonishment upon hearing the news was King Apache of Cheyue Country. Logically speaking, Apache was already advanced in age and had one foot in the grave. Yet right now, he bore the appearance of a vibrant and energetic young man.

”Three State Preceptors, what should we do?!”

Apache was panicked. Fortunately, the presence of three Upper Immortals from the Ninefold Celestial Court, whom he had appointed as State Preceptors, helped him maintain his composure and prevented him from making a fool of himself on the spot.

The three State Preceptors consisted of two men and one woman. The female State Preceptor was an enchanting beauty capable of bringing down an empire. She was alluring and seductive to the extreme, practically only a step away from flashing a fox tail.

The two male State Preceptors, on the other hand, were utterly bizarre. Though they possessed human bodies, one had the head of a tiger, and the other had the head of a wolf. This was clearly a case of demons deliberately exposing a part of their true forms after taking human shape—their sick sense of humor on full display.

And Zou Feng’s previous deduction about these three based on their names was spot on. These three Immortal Officials were originally not of the Demon Race; they were Human Cultivators. However, they had cultivated the Path of Rebirth of the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills and possessed the bodies of demons. Since then, they had styled themselves as the Red Tiger Immortal, Jade Spirit Fox Immortal, and Cyan Nether Wolf Immortal, respectively.

As for why they used the Path of Rebirth to possess demons, and why they insisted on leaving their original animal heads exposed after the possession... One could only say that the Tribulation Cultivators of the Ninefold Celestial Court were never normal people to begin with. No matter what kind of insane stunts this bunch of lunatics pulled, it wasn’t surprising in the least.

”There’s no need to panic, Your Majesty. It’s just a mere True Inheritor. With our arrangements, if one comes, we kill one; if two come, we kill the pair!” Jade Fox giggled, her ridiculously voluptuous figure quivering enticingly.

Red Tiger licked his lips and said in a deep voice, ”This is a good thing, a great thing! True Disciples always taste delicious!”

Cyan Wolf, however, wasn’t so arrogant. He mused, ”If it’s an ordinary True Disciple, we naturally wouldn’t fear them even if two or three came. But my fear is...”

At this point, he looked at the Celestial General who had reported the situation and ordered, ”Keep investigating! Find out exactly who the True Disciple heading this way is!”

”Yes, sir!”

The Celestial General accepted the command at once. Amidst a sudden plume of white smoke, he vanished from his spot in the blink of an eye.

Afterward, Jade Fox moved her delicate steps, drifting in front of Apache with a sultry gaze. ”Your Majesty, we will handle such trivial matters appropriately. It’s time for you to rest...”

Apache instantly revealed an immensely infatuated expression, nodding his head repeatedly. ”Good, good... I leave it in your capable hands, Jade Spirit State Preceptor!”
