At the very least, he would give Zou Feng a few maces of broken silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No wonder Li Rui wanted to kill me after he realized Luo Yong was going to take me as his apprentice.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It looks like saving up a sum of money in a short amount of time won’t be that hard after all.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, Zou Feng’s mood brightened considerably. For the first time since his transmigration, life was finally, truly getting better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial Arts Training, meat to eat, and money to be made!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all it cost was sacrificing Brother Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He soon returned to the Yang Mansion. As he passed through the front courtyard, he happened upon several of the mansion’s guards sparring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t the first time Zou Feng had seen them sparring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the past, he had only watched for the excitement. Now that he practiced the Five Poison Palm, he could see the underlying techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit that to be able to serve as guards at the Yang Mansion, free from manual labor, these Hospital Martial Artists were certainly not just for show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every move, the wind whistled. Their techniques were sharp and methodical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Feng felt a slight pang of envy at their techniques and the power they displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he mentally calculated his odds of winning a direct confrontation with these Martial Artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came to a conclusion: ’I’d win a one-on-one fight!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But I’d probably have to pay a steep price.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, I only need to land a single palm strike, and the fight is basically over.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But after they’re hit, the poison still needs time to take effect.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In that window of time, their furious death throes could easily injure me, or even trade my life for theirs.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So, it’s best to avoid a direct confrontation.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’For a Cultivation Skill like the Five Poison Palm, ambushes and sneak attacks are the way to go.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Unless... I learn a Body Technique Martial Arts that would let me engage and disengage at will.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I need to save up money, fast!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without lingering, Zou Feng headed straight for the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Hospital Martial Artists sparred, it was fine for other servants to glance over as they passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if anyone stopped to watch for too long, they’d be accused of trying to secretly learn their Martial Arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a harsh beating would surely follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yang Mansion’s rear kitchen was massive, practically a small, self-contained courtyard divided into three areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An area for preparing ingredients, the main cooking kitchen, and the chefs’ living quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yang Mansion currently employed three chefs: Luo Yong, his wife, and his father-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right. Luo Yong’s family had essentially taken over all the kitchen duties for the Yang Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A major reason why Luo Yong wanted to find a reliable apprentice was that he had no children of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these years, his wife had never conceived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t his wife’s fault; he was the one who was infertile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, his father-in-law was getting old and would soon be unable to work, making it crucial to find a new chef to take his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Luo Yong was so dedicated to Zou Feng after discovering what a \"good kid\" he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Feng strode into the kitchen, bowed, and said, \"Master, the job is done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only his own apprentice could enter so directly. If Li Rui had tried to come in here without permission, he would have been kicked out on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A craftsman’s trade, much like Martial Arts, was a secret one was forbidden to steal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his bow, Zou Feng deliberately adopted a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yong caught his meaning and waved a hand. \"It’s just your Mistress here. No outsiders. Spit it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Looks like Master doesn’t keep a secret stash from his wife...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding, Zou Feng took out the cloth pouch containing five taels of silver and presented it with both hands. \"Master, please inspect this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yong took the pouch, weighed it in his hand, and broke into a gratified smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zou Feng had guessed, Luo Yong hadn’t told him about the under-the-table dealings of procurement because he had been testing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that Zou Feng hadn’t hidden a single coin and had turned over the exact amount reaffirmed Luo Yong’s earlier judgment of his character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What a good kid!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Best of all, he’s smart enough not to be swindled by those crooked merchants.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve done very well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Luo Yong glanced back proudly at his wife, as if to show off his excellent eye for choosing an apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Mistress was stout, with a kind and gentle face. The look she gave Zou Feng was also one of deep satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Luo Yong said with a serious expression, \"You’ll be a Head Chef here someday, so you’re entitled to a share of this money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, we can’t keep all of it. We have to give the Steward his cut.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This didn’t surprise Zou Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have been stranger if this scheme to fleece the Yang Mansion *didn’t* involve a member of the Yang Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Practice your knife skills with your Mistress. I’ll be right back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tucking the money pouch safely away, Luo Yong headed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Feng knew Luo Yong was going to split the loot with the Steward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome of that meeting would determine exactly how much ended up in his own pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Feng knew his place. As just an apprentice chef, his expectations weren’t very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving a cut of five maces of silver would be an excellent outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, at the behest of his Mistress, Mrs. Wang, Zou Feng officially began the first stage of his culinary training: practicing chopping vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after chopping for a while under his Mistress’s guidance, no \"knife skill proficiency\" appeared on his panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left him a bit puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the *Herbal Catalogue* had appeared on his panel just from him looking at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he soon came up with a likely explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he was cultivating the Five Poison Palm and had already become Slightly Accomplished, his hand-eye coordination and control over his strength were far beyond those of an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So simple tasks like slicing and dicing aren’t difficult enough for me to count as a valid skill.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Of course, it’s also possible the panel simply doesn’t have the function to record life skills like this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The *Herbal Catalogue* probably only showed up because it could assist my Cultivation of the Five Poison Palm.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About the time it took to eat a meal, Luo Yong returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he walked in, Zou Feng knew something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yong’s face was flushed red, and he was clutching his stomach. He cursed through gritted teeth, \"That son of a bitch Yang Ling... That bastard actually...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Wang rushed forward to steady him, and Zou Feng immediately lent a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Yang Ling? Weren’t you just reporting to the Steward?\" Mrs. Wang asked, her face full of confusion as she helped Luo Yong sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yong heaved a long sigh before saying, \"There’s been a change. The Steward isn’t Yang Wei anymore. Yang Ling has taken over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Master decided to change the Steward this morning. We were all so busy that nobody thought to inform us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Mrs. Wang’s expression darkened. \"Of all the people to replace him with, why did it have to be Yang Ling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Feng knew little about the Yang Family and didn’t even know what Yang Ling looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just from the expressions on Luo Yong and Mrs. Wang’s faces, he knew that Yang Ling becoming the Steward was definitely not a good thing for the kitchen crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Luo Yong lowered his voice and said hatefully, \"That bastard has no respect for the rules. He’s taking everything—not leaving a single coin for us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1448,"2026-05-29T16:26:41.045Z","2026-06-01T04:29:44.377Z",1,"novelbin.me","49e34679be7c9ade29d713c39180aebfd5df090752d104717a13734bf84e727b","i-can-transfer-the-side-effects-of-evil-skills-chapter-8","i-can-transfer-the-side-effects-of-evil-skills-chapter-6",429,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-transfer-the-side-effects-of-evil-skills-cover.jpg"]
