I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills-Chapter 264 - 190: The Five Poison Creatures Again?

Chapter 264: Chapter 190: The Five Poison Creatures Again?

Fortunately, Zou Feng always carried one of the Immortal Treasures he had seized back then—the "Treasure Bottle."

He had never figured out what was so "precious" about this thing, but it was perfect for storing poison, as there was no need to worry about it spoiling.

The bottle was originally quite small and couldn’t hold much, but after Zou Feng had been filling it for a while, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

The amount of poison he had poured into the bottle clearly exceeded its capacity.

He had transferred some poison into it before, but this had never happened.

So, Zou Feng poured more poison in until it finally overflowed, at which point he stopped.

He initially thought he might have accidentally triggered some effect, that it contained a hidden space within.

In the end, while it did hold a bit more, that was all there was to it. It was a far cry from a "storage space."

Rather than the space having extended slightly, it was more like...

The poison was being absorbed by the bottle itself!

’So, in the past, this thing just thought the poison’s quality was too poor to absorb?’

’But what’s the damn point of absorbing it? I haven’t seen any changes in the bottle that benefit me...’

However, he had just caused such a huge commotion; this was no time to be slowly studying the bottle.

Zou Feng didn’t linger. He quickly called for Bian Yixia, and they left.

On the journey that followed, Zou Feng chose not to return directly to the Hongxing Gang’s stronghold on Qifeng Mountain.

He had to make sure he wasn’t being tracked by other experts.

Otherwise, if some troublesome enemy tracked him to the stronghold, things would get complicated.

After wandering the depths of Qifeng Mountain for another two days, Bian Yixia made a full recovery, and only then did Zou Feng choose to return.

His luck was good this time; he didn’t get lost on Qifeng Mountain.

But that was probably because he hadn’t gone as deep as last time.

Upon returning to the Hongxing Gang stronghold, he found the place completely transformed. Numerous wooden houses had been built into the mountainside, forming a settlement of considerable scale.

It was actually quite normal that so many wooden houses could be built so quickly.

After all, those who had fled here were basically all Martial Artists, and many of them were even Entering Grade Martial Artists.

With them around, building a mountain fortress in a short period of time couldn’t be easier.

The members of the Hongxing Gang weren’t particularly surprised that their General Leader had managed to rescue the Gang Leader and return safely.

Evidently, even though they were on Qifeng Mountain, some of them had surely gone out and learned about the situation in the outside world.

The explosive news that the Governor of Jiangnan, Yuwen Boxi, and his son, the Quasi-Martial Champion Scholar Yuwen Zheng, had both been killed by Zou Feng had spread throughout the Great Yan Dynasty in no time.

Accompanying this explosive news was the Demon Slaying Order issued against Zou Feng, led by the Xuanhuang Sect.

This thing was even more fatal than being wanted by the Court.

’A Demon Slaying Order?’

When he heard the news, Zou Feng had a sudden realization.

’No wonder that during the day he’d spent circling around, new big shots kept appearing on the List of Gods.’

’He didn’t recognize the vast majority of the names.’

’This was probably the result after the List of Gods filtered them; those who posed no threat at all wouldn’t make the list and waste a spot.’

Even so, Zou Feng had never fought such a "rich" war.

’With all these big shots, male and female, I won’t have to worry at all about the consumable side effects of advancing to the Third Grade.’

"Zou Lang, the Demon Slaying Order is no small matter. You can’t stay in the Central Plains for now!"

"Either go back to the Southern Border or head to the Northern Border... or just go out to sea, that would be safer." After they met, Tian Yun was too preoccupied to be affectionate, urgently reminding Zou Feng of the severity of the Demon Slaying Order.

High Grade Martial Artists from the Major Sects would very likely be mobilized because of it.

The generous rewards for succeeding were one thing, but the Major Sects were also full of lunatics with an extreme obsession for "slaying demons and exorcising evil."

The talented figures of the younger generation would also be eager to kill a demon of Zou Feng’s stature to gain both fame and fortune.

Zou Feng was, of course, aware of all this.

Although he hadn’t decided exactly where to go, he wouldn’t remain at the Hongxing Gang’s stronghold.

As long as he stayed there, it would be like planting a time bomb in the stronghold.

There was no guarantee that some expert with strange abilities wouldn’t use methods beyond his comprehension to find his hiding place.

And once again, they would wipe out the entire Hongxing Gang.

And to be honest, while leaving the stronghold was necessary, he didn’t plan on traveling far.

The Iron Blood Gu Poison Group was almost ready. He needed to come back from time to time to use his Wise Triple and increase the number of Entering Grade Martial Artists among them.

There were still three of the Five Poison Creatures on Qifeng Mountain that he hadn’t found yet, and Zou Feng was extremely eager to get them.

He also needed to have an in-depth discussion with Gongsun Jinghong soon about the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill, which could change one’s fate.

In any case, with his advancement to the Fourth Grade imminent, and his Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill especially poised to go from Extraordinary to Saint in a short time, Zou Feng really didn’t want to travel to more unknown regions right now.

Besides, if a High Grade Martial Artist was dead set on killing him and happened to have a way to locate him, then hiding in the Southern Border or the Northern Border would be completely useless.

With the travel speed of a High Grade Martial Artist, plus a corresponding Magical Artifact, the journey to the Southern Border or the Northern Border wouldn’t seem long at all.

Furthermore, while the Demon Slaying Order was a hassle, the current situation was chaotic. The rebel armies and the Sects behind them were still continuously stirring up trouble.

So, neither the Great Yan Court nor the Righteous Sects of the Central Plains Region could possibly focus solely on hunting him down endlessly.

After some thought, Zou Feng patted Tian Yun’s back and then took out the "Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill," handing it to her.

"I think this Cultivation Skill is pretty good. Find some time to cultivate it well. We’ll both benefit endlessly from it in the future," Zou Feng said with a solemn expression.

’He still had to come back occasionally, and when he did, he definitely wouldn’t just be training the Iron Blood Gu Poison Group. He’d have to turn in his "homework," after all.’

Seeing Zou Feng’s dead-serious expression, Tian Yun said no more. She took the manual and immediately began flipping through it.

But one look at the cover told her something was off. After flipping through a few pages, she spat irritably, "I’m talking about serious matters with you, and you’re still thinking about this kind of stuff?"

"Come on, let’s go inside and talk!"

With that, she angrily dragged Zou Feng toward the inner room.

She hadn’t forgotten that Zou Feng had been wanting to find a Dual Cultivation Skill for a long time.

’Since he found one, why not test it out in a practical session first?’

The people left outside, including Bian Yixia, all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although some busybodies intended to eavesdrop, with Zou Feng’s current power, it was a simple matter to extend his Gang Qi to form a soundproof barrier.

A little under an hour later, Tian Yun finished up. Without bothering to get dressed, she started flipping through the "Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill" again.

"This Skill doesn’t look difficult to cultivate, but the problem is, this is only the ’Tiger’ Heart Skill. Where’s the ’Dragon’?"

"If we both practice the ’Tiger’ part, how can we bring out the true effect of the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill?" Tian Yun said with a frown.

Zou Feng shrugged. "Two tigers are still formidable. Besides, I’ll try to improve this Skill."

"The way I see it, that Gongsun Jinghong is definitely up to no good. She didn’t give you the ’Dragon’ Heart Skill because she was afraid you’d see the problem with this Skill."

"Perhaps, for the ’Dragon’ to soar, it has to drain the ’Tiger’ dry!" Tian Yun said pensively.

Zou Feng, being an open and shameless scumbag, naturally hadn’t hidden the matter of Nangong Jinghong gifting him the Cultivation Skill. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Zou Feng had to admit that what Tian Yun analyzed was indeed a possibility.

’Nangong Jinghong not having any killing intent toward me could also be because one doesn’t die after being used for replenishment.’

’When the time comes, after this woman succeeds in her dual cultivation, she’ll be in a great mood and will indeed have no reason to kill him, her "meritorious official."’

"We’ll see when the time comes. If I also advance to the Third Grade, I really won’t be worried about her playing any tricks." After a pause, Zou Feng changed the subject. "In fact, at that point, the one who should be worried about being used for replenishment is her."

"So, when all is said and done, you’re going to have to give this ’prince consort’ gig a try, aren’t you?" Tian Yun said, rubbing her temples.

Zou Feng coughed and changed the subject. He couldn’t bring himself to say things that were pure bluster.

But to be fair, once he truly figured out the "Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill," it really would benefit Tian Yun.

After all, if the gap between their Cultivation Realms grew wider and wider in the future, that would be the worst-case scenario.
