The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh

After the immortals of the Heavenly Lotus Sect had left for a long time, Jessica Yu and the three fairies finally calmed down, though their eyes still held traces of lingering fear.

In front of those powerful figures, they were as insignificant as mortals like Brandon Jiang.

They could almost foresee that if those senior sisters in yellow robes returned alive from the Elders, they would surely massacre all the Qi Refining disciples in the sect to heal their injuries.

But those were matters for later. For now, the more pressing issue was to properly arrange these new disciples.

***

The three fairies summoned a flying boat, ushering the new disciples aboard, and headed towards the Heavenly Lotus Sect's mountain gate not far away.

On the way, the three fairies patiently introduced the rules of the Heavenly Lotus Sect to the new disciples.

There were many sect rules, but to Brandon Jiang, only three were truly important.

First: Disciples of the same level in the Heavenly Lotus Sect must not kill each other or seize each other's power and fortune. If discovered, they would be killed without mercy.

Second: High-level disciples and Elders of the Heavenly Lotus Sect must not harm low-level disciples without reason. If discovered, they would be severely punished.

Third: Except when on missions, white-robed disciples must attend classes taught by designated yellow-robed senior sisters every day and receive at least a C-grade evaluation from them.

The higher the evaluation, the more benefits one could receive, such as the sacrificial furnace essential for cultivation.

As for what would happen if the evaluation was low, the three fairies did not say.

The first two rules were clearly meant to protect new or low-level disciples.@@novelbin@@

However, Brandon Jiang vaguely felt that the original intention of these two rules might not have been to benefit low-level disciples, but rather to better maintain the interests of the Elders and high-level disciples.

Without these two rules, new disciples might not survive a few days in the sect, and there would never be high-level sacrificial furnaces for the upper echelons to enjoy.

But regardless of the original intention of the rules, these two rules were beneficial to him.

At least he didn't have to worry about being randomly captured and drained by a high-level disciple.

As for the content of the third rule, it was a danger Brandon Jiang would have to face every day in the future.

He had already seen a yellow-robed disciple; the senior sister responsible for guiding him, Patricia Qing, was one.

And Brandon Jiang was now considered a newly inducted white-robed disciple. Not only were newcomers like him white-robed disciples, but even the three fairies and Jessica Yu were white-robed disciples.

Brandon Jiang guessed that white-robed disciples probably included all cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, making them the lowest tier in the Heavenly Lotus Sect and the sacrificial furnaces for the yellow-robed disciples.

Under normal circumstances, yellow-robed disciples might not be able to randomly drain their power and fortune, but if they didn't perform well in class, it would be a different story.

Brandon Jiang frowned deeply, feeling a bit anxious.

He wondered what Senior Sister Patricia Qing mainly taught and how he could get a high evaluation.

***

Thinking about these questions, Brandon Jiang arrived inside the Heavenly Lotus Sect.

The Heavenly Lotus Sect was situated on a massive fairy mountain, shaped like a lotus flower with petals blooming.

Each petal was a mountain peak, with magnificent and beautiful scenery, shrouded in mist, exuding an immortal aura.

Brandon Jiang was on one of these lotus peaks, which was also one of the peaks where Qi Refining disciples resided.

Newcomers would not live on the same peak but would be assigned to various peaks on the outskirts of the Heavenly Lotus Sect. The specific allocation rule was simple: each newcomer would live near the yellow-robed senior sister responsible for guiding them.

Otherwise, as mortals, the new disciples would be exhausted just from traveling to class every day.

And the residence of Senior Sister Patricia Qing was near the peak called Green Leaf Peak, so Brandon Jiang and Ashley Taibai would settle there.

After dropping them off, the three fairies urged the flying boat to take the other new disciples.

Coincidentally, Jessica Yu also lived on Green Leaf Peak, so she stayed behind and kindly showed Brandon Jiang and Ashley around, helping them choose their residences, and receive their disciple robes and identity tokens.

As for why Jessica Yu was so kind to them, Brandon Jiang knew very well.

It was simply because she saw their good potential and wanted to make friends early. But Brandon Jiang was happy to see it happen.

In the end, Jessica Yu arranged for Brandon Jiang's residence to be next to hers, and Ashley Taibai's place was also very close.

If Ashley Taibai hadn't shown Jessica Yu any respect, the place next to her wouldn't have fallen to Brandon Jiang.

***

After everything was arranged, it was already late at night.

The moonlight was cold, the stars were sparse, and a chilly wind blew gently.

Brandon Jiang sat in his small courtyard, looking at the night sky, reflecting on this perilous day.

"Do I really have to treat my fellow cultivators as sacrificial furnaces to cultivate?" Brandon Jiang murmured softly.

He was silent for a long time, then suddenly clenched his fists.

He wanted to try again, to see if he could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without using a sacrificial furnace.

Brandon Jiang sat cross-legged on the ground, once again sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

A quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour... Until late at night, Brandon Jiang was almost frozen stiff, but he still couldn't attract even a trace of spiritual energy.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that Senior Sister Qin hadn't lied to him. Without a sacrificial furnace, he couldn't cultivate.

If there were a better way, it would have been discovered by predecessors long ago. How could it be his turn to explore?

He looked inside his dantian, and the hair-thin thread of spiritual energy was still swirling alone... Wait, something seemed off.

His spiritual energy seemed to have grown slightly?

Was it an illusion, or was there another reason?

Brandon Jiang immediately perked up and controlled his thread of spiritual energy, carefully examining his dantian.

Then he saw a huge ball of spiritual energy in his dantian, many times larger than his thread of spiritual energy, almost filling most of his dantian!

Brandon Jiang was stunned for a while before he suddenly realized.

"Could it be because of the Qi Gathering Pill I took from the Villain of the Blood Sea?!"

Brandon Jiang's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that old ghost from the Blood Sea to be so capable. With the life force and fortune of less than thirty mortals, he had refined a pill that could gather such a vast amount of spiritual energy.

Brandon Jiang quickly tried to refine the spiritual energy in his dantian. After successfully separating a thread and merging it into his own spiritual energy, he was so excited he almost shouted out loud!

He had succeeded! With the help of the Qi Gathering Pill, he might even surpass all his peers in cultivation speed!
