Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

Beast cores cannot be swallowed casually. Only some gentle beast cores will not harm the body. She checked Zhou Shouxi's body and found that the beast core seemed to carry a violent aura and could also affect mental strength and forcibly enhance his strength. His meridians were already in a state of disrepair.

No wonder he died when he broke through to the Spirit Master level.

"Your elder brother wants you dead. Your death will come when you break through to the Spirit Master realm."

Zhou Shouxi looked shocked: "Huh?"

"Believe me or not. If you don't, take these clothes and get out of here. When you die, if you have the chance, I'll let you be buried next to her cenotaph."

"I believe you. I feel that although you are annoying, you would never stoop to lying."

Yao Feiran took out a Nourishing Pill, a pill of the Spirit General level, which is extremely difficult to refine. It was this pill that proved that she had broken through to the fourth rank.

"Eat him."

Without hesitation, Zhou Shouxi swallowed the pill. Soon after, he felt a sharp pain in his body. Two hours later, Zhou Shouxi collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, his body soaked in sweat.

Her strength improved from the late stage of Spirit Master to the early stage of Spirit Master, and her spiritual power became more condensed.

It took Zhou Shouxi a while to come to his senses. He had thought he was going to die, but now he felt much lighter. He casually swung his palm, and although his strength hadn't weakened, his cultivation level had dropped to the early stage of the Spirit Warrior realm.

"Thank you so much. This pill must be very precious."

Yao Feiran frowned as she looked at him. His luck was waning, and he would die soon.

"What happened in your family three months later?"

"It's nothing."

Zhou Shouxi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "It seems that our ancestor will be out of seclusion soon. He has already broken through to the Spirit Emperor realm and has notified the clan. Now he just needs to stabilize his realm."

"Your Zhou family has produced another Spirit Emperor, that's quite remarkable."

"This matter cannot be told to anyone else; very few people in the clan know about it."

How did you know?

"I look a lot like my ancestor's deceased wife. When I was five years old, my parents sent me to my ancestor's side to cultivate. He taught me a lot, but unfortunately I was dull-witted. After six years, my ancestor was going into seclusion, so I went home. Yesterday, he used a communication artifact to tell me that he would test my cultivation after I came out of seclusion. I also thought that I would break through to the Spirit Master level before I came out of seclusion and give my ancestor a surprise."

Yao Feiran saw the cause and effect of his death; the ancestor was indeed the cause, but it wasn't that the ancestor wanted to kill him.

Why didn't Zhou Shouxi's elder brother let him live until the ancestor came out of seclusion? Was he afraid that the ancestor would discover something about him?

"Send a message to your ancestors, explaining your physical condition."

"You mean you want me to tell the ancestors that my brother wants to kill me?"

"Otherwise you will die. Apart from your older brother, your parents don't want you to live. This is your only chance to live."

These words were a huge blow to him. He was stunned and fell silent for a moment. He squatted in the corner and thought for a long time. His ancestors had sent him a message before, but he was afraid that the walls would hear him and that his parents would definitely receive the message elsewhere, so he did not tell anyone. He never expected that it would become his only way to survive.

Zhou Shouxi eventually left.

Yao Feiran didn't pay any more attention to him. When she went to collect her monthly payment at the beginning of next month, she found that the payment was less than half of what she had received. Just then, Yao Yue went to participate in an escort mission and probably wouldn't be back for several months or a year.

She walked to the supply hall, where Yao Tiecang, a distant relative, was standing in front of the door.

"Uncle Cang, is there a problem with my monthly payment? I refined four batches of grade three pills this month."

"That's right, these are the contribution points, and I only received three batches of pills."

"You mean Uncle Yue took my pills and didn't hand them in?"

Yao Tiecang revealed an impatient expression: "I said there are only three furnaces, and that's it. Even if you ask the patriarch, it's the same."

"I understand. I will no longer refine pills."

"Hmph, the clan has worked hard to train you to be an alchemist, and you can't miss the monthly tasks. Do you want to be punished by the clan?"

Yao Feiran shook her head: "The Yao family can't even abide by basic fairness, they're hopeless."

She turned and left, knowing that the other party was probably acting on Yao Shizhou's orders; Yao Shizhou's methods were becoming increasingly despicable.

A few days later, Yao Tiecang made an appointment to leave the city with others, but before he could meet up with them, he was seriously injured by a fellow spirit master, and all his spirit stones and resources were taken away.

The Yao family searched for the culprit for a long time but could not find him, and the matter was eventually dropped.

Yao Feiran weighed Yao Tiecang's storage bag in her hand. It seemed that because he managed the supplies, some of the spirit stones inside were from the clan's warehouse, just enough for her to cultivate for a while. Sure enough, it was faster to get resources by robbing things.

Once the resources were exhausted, Yao Feiran packed her things and left. When she left the edge of Cangyuan City's territory, she saw a person floating in the air.

It was Yao Shizhou, who blocked his way: "Yao Feiran, where are you going?"

"I'm going out to gain experience."

"The Demon Contract Platform is about to open, and all adult disciples of the clan must participate. In addition, you have not completed your alchemy task for this month."

The Demon Contract Platform opens every two years, and each person only has one chance to choose. The main purpose is to choose a demon beast contract. If you can find a demon beast that you want to be compatible with, your future cultivation will be twice as effective. These demon beast eggs were purchased by the Yao family from various places and collected from the wild.

However, the chances of forming a contract are very rare, and the more qualified the monster egg, the more selective it is.

In the original story, there was a blue dragon that everyone was going to give to Yao Qingyuan to form a contract with. However, the original owner felt that the blue dragon egg was related to her and was fighting for the blue dragon. Yao Qingyuan agreed to give it to her and chose a crow egg. In the end, the crow bloodline awakened into a three-legged golden crow and possessed the bloodline of a demon god.

The original owner needed too many resources to contract the Azure Dragon Egg, but the original owner couldn't get the resources to nurture it. In the end, the Azure Dragon failed to transform, and the original owner became an additional burden.

Yao Feiran recalled that Yao Qingyuan now seemed to have an extra memory, which should be the so-called "rebirth". Her subsequent choice to give up the Azure Dragon and choose the Crow should also be related to her memories of her previous life.

She wasn't very interested in contracting with demons.

"Is the Yao family so desperate that they can't even afford to live? They still want me to refine pills for them for free, even though they can't afford the monthly payment."

Yao Shizhou took a deep breath, barely managing to maintain his composure: "The monthly allowance is based on your contribution level, there's no shortage of money for you. You've always been slacking off, and now you're becoming even more willful."

Yao Feiran originally didn't want to get involved with him, but when she saw some faint fluctuations in the space behind her, she realized there must be other people there. This person had a dangerous aura and was probably also at the Spirit Emperor realm.

"Sneaking around? I handed over four batches of pills, but my monthly allowance was reduced by half—that's a fact, without the slightest falsehood. I dare to defy the Heavenly Dao, do you? Are you sure you didn't pull any tricks?"

"You are the head of the Yao clan, yet you cannot even guarantee basic fairness. What kind of head of the clan are you? Go back to farming."

Yao Shizhou finally couldn't hold back any longer: "You rebellious daughter, I'm going to kill you!"

The space shifted, and an old man emerged. Although his aura was powerful, his luck had been cut off, and he probably wouldn't last much longer.

Yao Feiran recognized the other party as Yao Jiuyi, the eldest elder of the Yao family.
