I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

Soon, Yin Xia was drained dry by Zou Feng.

But that wasn’t all. Zou Feng, of course, didn’t forget to refine her into an External Pill.

Not a single bit of the prime material that was Yin Xia went to waste.

With the Divine Soul Dao cultivation method in hand, plus the Dual Cultivation Dao he had tortured out of someone a few days prior, Zou Feng had now mastered three of the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills.

However, he didn’t plan to cultivate any more of the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills for now.

After all, his Core Formation was imminent, and he had already followed the Undying Master’s advice. Three Immortal Skills were more than enough to assist with Core Formation; there was no need to waste any more time on this.

Besides, after Core Formation, he would have plenty of time to cultivate the other Ascension Skills, and the difficulty of doing so would be even lower.

As for whether Jiang Wanzhao and Ye Chenhua would have any objections to Zou Feng taking Yin Xia all for himself...

There was naturally no need to worry. After all, their current task was to act as Zou Feng’s Guardians and help him achieve Core Formation as soon as possible.

The next moment, Zou Feng leaped into the air.

Before long, he was back aboard Ye Chenhua’s Flying Celestial Ship.

"How do you feel?" Jiang Wanzhao was the first to step forward.

Her main concern right now was when Zou Feng would finally be able to achieve Core Formation.

"My condition is getting better and better, but I feel like I’m still missing something for Core Formation..." Zou Feng answered truthfully.

"Don’t rush it. Advancing in one’s Realm often depends on a flash of insight. A breakthrough can happen suddenly. Besides, your foundation is more than sufficient. Just be patient and wait!" Jiang Wanzhao advised.

Zou Feng nodded, greeted Ye Chenhua, and then returned to his room to enjoy Su Qingyu’s massage.

After all, having dueled an Immortal Official one-on-one, it was impossible for Zou Feng not to have expended energy; he was inevitably exhausted.

Thanks to Su Qingyu’s ministrations, coupled with the fact that her foot-based massage technique was a unique art that also nourished him with toxic qi, Zou Feng’s fatigue quickly vanished without a trace.

Once he had recovered, he "communicated" with Su Qingyu for a while under her expectant gaze, and then Zou Feng immediately began to cultivate the Divine Soul Dao.

The Nine Immortal Ascension Skills were originally complementary and interconnected. Therefore, since Zou Feng had already cultivated the External Pill Refining Immortal Dao to the Realm of Perfection, his speed in cultivating other Ascension Skills was astonishingly fast.

The Dual Cultivation Dao he had acquired just a few days ago had already reached the Great Success Realm.

He expected that the Divine Soul Dao he had just obtained would also show significant improvement within a few days.

’Even with the progress I’ve made in the Dual Cultivation Dao and Divine Soul Dao, it still feels like something is missing for true Core Formation...’

’Could it be that my life is too safe and comfortable right now, so it doesn’t align with what the Undying Master called "Tribulation Core Formation"?’

The more Zou Feng thought about it, the more he felt it was a real possibility.

He recalled how, when he was being hunted by Tribulation Cultivators and had several near-death experiences, he had felt on the verge of Core Formation at any moment.

But now that he was hunting Tribulation Cultivators in turn, and under the protection of two Guardians, that previous "edge" had vanished without him realizing it.

’So, I need to think carefully about how to continue facing my "tribulation."’

However, facing a tribulation wasn’t the same as courting death. Zou Feng would certainly not resort to any obviously brain-dead tactics.

For example, telling Jiang Wanzhao and Ye Chenhua to leave so he could hunt Golden Core Realm Tribulation Cultivators alone...

’What if I just go deep into the battlefield where the main forces are clashing?’

Over the past few days, although Zou Feng’s group was said to be "fighting their way back," they had mostly avoided the large-scale battle zones.

They ended up patrolling the edges of the battlefield, looking for stragglers who were fleeing in a panic.

Once they found one, they would quickly follow to pick off the easy target.

This was also the best way to ensure their safety.

After pondering for a moment, Zou Feng ultimately gave up on the idea of entering the most intense part of the battlefield.

’There are just too many variables in a place like that. There’s no need to be too hasty and get myself killed.’

As he thought of this, Zou Feng’s heart suddenly stirred, as if he had sensed something.

He immediately left his room and went out onto the deck.

Gazing into the distance, he could see nothing out of the ordinary.

At that moment, Ye Chenhua, who was already at the bow keeping watch, asked curiously, "Junior Brother Zou, what is it?"

"I just have a feeling... there’s a Judge nearby!"

In many cases, Zou Feng’s ability to sense Immortal Officials and Judges was no weaker than that of a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, and was perhaps even superior.

Hearing this, Ye Chenhua’s expression turned serious, and he immediately began to intensify his Divine Sense scan.

After spending the past few days together, it was clear that while Ye Chenhua often appeared carefree, he was actually incredibly cautious.

His Flying Celestial Ship was actually equipped with numerous detection-type Magical Treasures, but Ye Chenhua didn’t trust them at all, spending most of his time personally keeping watch at the bow.

It was precisely because of Ye Chenhua’s caution that they hadn’t experienced a single difficult battle in the past few days.

For the most part, after discovering a lone Tribulation Cultivator, Ye Chenhua would investigate and assess the situation before telling Zou Feng to make a move.

This was actually very unusual. After all, they were supposed to be taking a risk by circling back to attack, but it had turned into something like a sightseeing tour where they occasionally beat an enemy that was already down.

At this moment, however, Ye Chenhua’s caution failed to provide any early warning.

His Divine Sense performed a carpet search of the surrounding area, but he found nothing.

"Junior Brother Zou, can you describe the situation in more detail? I haven’t detected any abnormalities yet..." Ye Chenhua’s expression grew even more solemn.

For someone as cautious as him, any inkling of something amiss had to be given full attention, so he didn’t question whether Zou Feng’s perception was mistaken.

At this time, however, Zou Feng was becoming more and more certain that a Judge was nearby—and that its aura felt somewhat familiar.
