I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

Chapter 449 - 283: Hand-Crafting an Exotic Poison

"Actually, farming and gardening here in the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect is quite nice..."

"If I can’t get into the Inner Sect within ten years, I’ll just apply to the Immortal Sect to be a Steward in the Spirit Plant Garden. That wouldn’t be so bad either!"

Jing Huaisong chatted amicably with his old acquaintances from Great Yan.

Although he had lost his former spiritedness, he had entered a different state of being—one that seemed desireless on the surface but was, in fact, profound in its Mental Realm.

This was by no means him giving up; rather, it aligned with the Realm of the Natural Daoist Skill, of not forcing things.

Everyone could see this. After all, Jing Huaisong’s Sword Intent was visibly much sharper than it had been during the Great Yan Dynasty.

Thus, many cast envious glances at Jing Huaisong’s current state.

"Since everyone’s here, please, find your seats!" Seeing that the gathering’s atmosphere was even better than she had expected, Su Qingyu beamed.

It had to be said that after entering the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, Su Qingyu was no longer as anxious as before, which made her mental state much more stable.

At least, for now, no one could see that frenzied energy she used to have back in Great Yan.

Following her words, everyone began to take their seats, but unexpectedly, someone else arrived.

And this fashionably late acquaintance from Great Yan was quite a surprise to everyone present.

Celestial Sword Li Dingjie, the reincarnated and reborn powerhouse, had actually come all the way from the Inner Sect specifically to attend this gathering of old acquaintances.

"Everyone, it’s been a while!" After entering, Li Dingjie first swept his disdainful gaze across the room before announcing in a domineering voice.

Just from his expression and tone, everyone couldn’t help but think, ’Did this guy come here just to show off?’

Although he certainly had the capital to show off and act pretentious.

Among the group from Great Yan, he was the only one who had directly entered the Inner Sect and was receiving a certain degree of special nurturing.

However, as a reincarnated powerhouse, there was no need for him to be so pretentious on this occasion. Unless... Li Dingjie had still not awakened his past-life memories.

Strictly speaking, during their time in Great Yan, most of the people here were Li Dingjie’s elders.

But now, none of them dared to misjudge their current positions, and they all addressed him as Brother Li.

Li Dingjie chuckled, nodded, and then sat directly in the host’s seat, which was meant for Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu’s smile didn’t waver.

Zou Feng, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about any of this. He just wanted the gathering to end quickly so he could take Su Qingyu to some dark little room for a private chat.

"I’ll toast everyone first!" Li Dingjie picked up a wine cup from the table on his own accord.

Everyone naturally responded at once.

After downing the cup, Li Dingjie didn’t sit down. Instead, he continued, "I’m a busy man, so I’ll keep this short!"

"Although I haven’t fully awakened my past-life memories yet, with the help of a few Sect Elders, I’ve already awakened many of my past-life divine abilities."

"It won’t be long before I’ve accumulated enough in the Inner Sect to attempt to leap through the Celestial Gate and achieve Foundation Establishment!"

An uproar immediately swept through the room.

By this point, Zou Feng was already aware that the Realm above the Spiritual Energy Realm was achieved by leaping through the Celestial Gate and establishing one’s Dao Foundation.

And anyone who could reach the Dao Foundation Realm within the time limit set by the Immortal Sect would become a Core Disciple.

Further above that was the rank of True Inheritor, a position beyond the reach of most so-called prodigies.

So for Li Dingjie, who had only been in the sect for a little over a month, to already be preparing for Foundation Establishment was simply outrageous to everyone present.

One could only say he was truly worthy of being a reincarnated powerhouse. Terrifyingly so.

"I’m sure you all know that within the Immortal Sect, there are many organizations where members can support one another on their Immortal Path."

"Therefore, I plan to invite all of you to establish the Celestial Sword Association together..."

As Li Dingjie continued his less-than-impassioned speech, the expressions on everyone’s faces gradually soured.

Although many present had indeed thought about banding together for mutual support, the problem was that with Li Dingjie so forcefully taking the lead, it felt more like... he wanted everyone to work for him?

To put it bluntly, it meant they would have to do everything in their power to help him achieve Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.

It wasn’t strange to want to skim profits from the Outer Sect.

Ever since Zou Feng learned that the rewards for the top three in the Outer Sect’s monthly exams could reach over ten thousand points of Immortal Fate, he understood why Inner Sect organizations like the Purple Cloud Association insisted on extending their influence into the Outer Sect.

"Alright, I’ve said my piece. Who’s for it, and who’s against it?"

Having said his fill, Li Dingjie once again scanned the room.

The room fell silent.

In the end, it was Jing Huaisong who cleared his throat and said, "Dingjie, this matter... shouldn’t be rushed..."

As an elder from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect, Jing Huaisong clearly felt it was inappropriate for Li Dingjie to be stirring up trouble so hastily.

"What did you call me?" Li Dingjie cut Jing Huaisong off, his eyes narrowing as he stared at him.

Jing Huaisong looked up in disbelief. He first sized up Li Dingjie, then frowned slightly. "Brother... Li!"

Li Dingjie said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Jing, do you remember when I first joined the Celestial Essence Sword Sect, and you ’disciplined’ me with your Sword Qi?"

Before Jing Huaisong could respond with a wry smile, Li Dingjie turned to Su Qingyu. "Junior Sister Su, back in Great Yan, you certainly made our Celestial Essence Sword Sect suffer. That Elder you poisoned to death had done me the great favor of passing on his skills!"

"Du Yuan, what was it you said back then? That I would never amount to anything?"

"Xie Wuyi, thanks to that sneak attack of yours, my back still aches from time to time even now..."

And so, Li Dingjie began to settle old scores, one by one.

He didn’t even spare Zou Feng.

"Zou Feng, no matter what, Zhang Xun of the Xuanhuang Sect was one of the few friends I had. And you just killed him, just like that?"
