The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh

"Brandon Jiang, do you have a question?"

Patricia Qing furrowed her brows, clearly displeased.

She had just praised this little girl for being sensible, and now she was doing something so thoughtless?

Interrupting her alchemy in public and disrupting the class—if there wasn't a good reason, this little girl would become a sacrificial furnace.@@novelbin@@

Brandon Jiang spoke solemnly:

"My little sister wants to ask, how long have my senior sisters been learning from you?"

Patricia Qing's face grew even more displeased. Asking questions was one thing, but asking such irrelevant ones?

Once she finished refining the elixir, she would find an excuse to absorb her.

"The longest has been five years. Except for you and Ashley Taibai, the shortest has been three to five months."

Patricia Qing answered casually, ready to ignore Brandon Jiang, but he made another move.

Thud—

Brandon Jiang suddenly knelt on one knee, bowing with a face full of guilt:

"Senior Sister Patricia, I apologize on behalf of all the senior sisters present!"

"They have been learning from you for so long but failed to recognize your painstaking efforts, disappointing you."

"I don't ask for your forgiveness for them, only that you don't feel sad. It's our lack of skill, not your fault, Senior Sister Patricia."

Upon hearing this, both Patricia Qing and the white-robed disciples were stunned.

Especially the white-robed disciples, who looked at Brandon Jiang with anger and displeasure!

What was with this newcomer, saying they lacked skill and disappointed Senior Sister Patricia?

Such words could get someone killed!

It was outright slander and defamation!

If Patricia Qing weren't present, the hot-tempered white-robed disciples would have surely taught this loose-tongued girl a harsh lesson!

But Patricia Qing grew more interested and asked with a smile:

"Junior Sister Brandon, what do you mean by this?"

Hearing this, Brandon Jiang was overjoyed inside. His plan was halfway successful.

But he didn't show it, still wearing a guilty expression:

"I just saw that you deliberately mixed a Green Bamboo Snake heart tainted with snake gall juice among a hundred snake hearts to test our observation and focus."

"As everyone knows, the hearts required for refining the Clear Mind Pill must be of the highest purity, so we must be meticulous when handling them."

"However, despite being clear observers, none of us noticed the anomaly with the Green Bamboo Snake heart, which made me feel ashamed on behalf of all the observing senior sisters, so I had to apologize for them."

Hearing Brandon Jiang's words, the white-robed disciples were dumbfounded.

Green Bamboo Snake heart?!

Senior Sister Patricia's test?!

How did they not know?!

They quickly checked the Green Bamboo Snake hearts on the material rack, one by one, and after a while, they noticed the problem with one of them.

This made the disciples' scalps tingle.

This newcomer named Brandon Jiang was telling the truth!

Senior Sister Patricia had indeed been testing them, and they were completely unaware!

This could be a big deal or a small one.

If taken seriously, Senior Sister Patricia could treat this test as today's class assessment.

Those who failed to notice the anomaly would all receive a D-grade evaluation, and the Enforcement Hall wouldn't be able to find any fault!

In an instant, the white-robed disciples knelt, all apologizing and begging for forgiveness.

Patricia Qing was initially stunned but quickly reacted, discreetly picking out the problematic Green Bamboo Snake heart, and said lightly:

"Why could Brandon Jiang, a newcomer, notice this problem while you couldn't?"

"Have I not taught you the essentials and precautions of the Clear Mind Pill?"

The white-robed disciples immediately broke into a cold sweat, begging louder for forgiveness, while Brandon Jiang remained half-kneeling, standing out among the crowd.

Finally, after a small reprimand, Patricia Qing looked at Brandon Jiang.

The displeasure in her beautiful eyes had vanished, replaced by appreciation.

"Brandon Jiang, you did well. Although you're a newcomer, you're more focused and diligent than others."

"Today's class isn't over yet, but I'm awarding you an A-grade evaluation now. I hope you remain humble and continue to showcase your impressive talent!"

An A-grade evaluation!

Brandon Jiang was thrilled inside but immediately showed a grateful expression:

"Thank you for your encouragement, Senior Sister Patricia. However, I don't dare take credit. I just did what an apprentice should do."

"If everyone were as observant and focused as I am, your efforts wouldn't be in vain like today."

Patricia Qing grew even more satisfied and immediately instructed everyone present to learn from Brandon Jiang.

The white-robed disciples quickly agreed, feeling extremely conflicted.

On one hand, they were belittled by Brandon Jiang, a newcomer, making them very displeased with him.

But on the other hand, Brandon Jiang had suddenly become a favorite of Senior Sister Patricia, and they had no choice but to curry favor with him!

Chu Jun looked at Brandon Jiang with confusion and amazement.

Everything Brandon Jiang did was taught by her. She had also noticed the problem with the Green Bamboo Snake heart but didn't dare to speak up.

But unlike her, Brandon Jiang not only spoke up but also made a big impression, cleverly covering up Senior Sister Patricia's mistake and gaining her favor.

This made Chu Jun, who didn't understand social nuances, sigh. People are indeed different.

People like Brandon Jiang are destined to do well wherever they go.

Brandon Jiang noticed Chu Jun's gaze and smiled subtly, signaling that he had secured the first A-grade evaluation and things were looking up.

Chu Jun smiled back, feeling a sense of security.

With Brandon Jiang around, her dire situation didn't seem so hopeless.

After the interlude, Patricia Qing resumed her alchemy, and Brandon Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

What he did just now was incredibly risky!

If Senior Sister Patricia hadn't listened and slapped him to death, he would have had no place to seek justice.

But he succeeded, and it wasn't just luck; he had a good grasp of the situation.

He understood Senior Sister Patricia well.

From Chu Jun's case, it was clear that Senior Sister Patricia was someone who cared about her reputation and held grudges.

Whoever embarrassed her would be suppressed.

If someone had pointed out her mistake with the Green Bamboo Snake heart on the spot, that person would be doomed.

If Senior Sister Patricia failed in alchemy in front of everyone, making her lose face, everyone would suffer her wrath.

Only through clever words, avoiding embarrassing her while reminding her, could she be satisfied.

This was the pattern Brandon Jiang had summarized.

He was good at understanding the minds of those in power, be it the Villain of the Blood Sea, the three immortals of the assessment, or Chu Jun.

Once he figured them out, he could perform steadily and live well under their shadow.

This was why he had survived various predicaments until now.

It seemed he had gauged Senior Sister Patricia's mind accurately. As long as he stayed steady, he wouldn't easily anger her and lose his life force and fortune.

The process went smoothly, and as time passed, the Clear Mind Pill was nearing completion.

Senior Sister Patricia stood before the alchemy furnace, forming hand seals, preparing to condense the elixir.

The spiritual fire beneath the furnace suddenly flared up.

"Collect!"

She softly commanded, readying the pill bottle.

In the next moment.

Boom—

A muffled sound came from the furnace, and fire and black ash spewed from the gaps in the lid.

The furnace had exploded.

Instantly, everyone present tensed up!
