The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh

Upon hearing that Brandon Jiang was left alone with Senior Sister Patricia Qing, Chu Jun's heart tightened.

But to avoid exposing their relationship, she could only pretend not to care and quietly leave.

However, Senior Sister Patricia Qing probably wasn't planning to harm Brandon Jiang. Given her status, she wouldn't need to be so secretive if she intended to act against him.

She hoped Brandon Jiang would be safe.

Soon, the alchemy hall was empty except for Brandon Jiang and Patricia Qing.

Brandon Jiang stood respectfully, waiting quietly for Senior Sister Patricia Qing to speak.

Patricia Qing looked at the young man in front of her and asked calmly, "Junior Sister Jiang, you defended me in front of the other disciples, yet I punished you. Do you hold any resentment?"

Brandon Jiang's heart tightened, and he quickly knelt down, saying, "Thunder and rain are all blessings from the master. Senior Sister Patricia Qing's punishment must have a deeper meaning. Besides, everything I have is given by you, Senior Sister. How could I possibly hold any resentment?"

Patricia Qing nodded in satisfaction. A subordinate who does not boast of their achievements is truly likable.

"It's good that you understand my intentions."

She stepped forward, personally helping Brandon Jiang up with a smile. "Of course, my punishment was just for show. You are my person; how could I mistreat you?"

As she spoke, her storage bag opened, and a pill, smooth and jade-like, the size of a longan, floated towards Brandon Jiang.

"This is..."

Brandon Jiang was slightly taken aback.

Patricia Qing smiled and said, "This pill is called the Purification Pill. It can accelerate the refinement of all medicinal power and spiritual energy within a Qi Refining cultivator."

"I remember you mentioned having taken a Qi Gathering Pill before. This pill will help you fully absorb its medicinal power."

"Don't just stand there, take it."

Brandon Jiang looked at the pill but didn't take it immediately. Instead, he knelt down again, with a look of tearful gratitude, and said, "Senior Sister's kindness is like a second birth to me. I truly don't know how to repay your kindness! Even if I were to serve you as a horse or ox in the future, it wouldn't be enough!"

Patricia Qing laughed, her smile dazzling. "The best way to repay me is to improve your strength as soon as possible."

"Right now, your cultivation is still lacking. Once you reach the mid or late stages of Qi Refining, you will surely become my right-hand man."

Brandon Jiang said excitedly, "I will not disappoint Senior Sister's expectations."

With that, he carefully put the Purification Pill into his bosom and then cautiously asked, "Does Senior Sister have any other instructions?"

Patricia Qing seemed to think of something, looking Brandon Jiang up and down. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "There is indeed something I haven't found someone to do yet. Perhaps only you among my disciples can handle it."

Brandon Jiang was taken aback. There really was something for him to do?

This pill was starting to feel a bit hot in his hand.

But he immediately put on an eager expression. "Please instruct me, Senior Sister."

Patricia Qing said, "This task is usually only entrusted to my confidants. If you can do it well, you will gain endless benefits."

"However, the competition for this task is also fierce. Take my old rival, Liu Yuexian, for example. She has already sent that young girl from the Lin Family today."

"Although Dorothy Lin is a newcomer, the Lin Family behind her is not to be underestimated. To surpass her, you need not only cultivation but also enough wisdom and insight."

"After much consideration, I believe only you, Brandon Jiang, can handle this task."

After hearing this, Brandon Jiang couldn't help but sweat a little.

Senior Sister Patricia Qing wanted him to compete with Dorothy Lin!

Who was Dorothy Lin? Backed by a cultivation family and with top-tier talent, he was no match for her.

But could he refuse? Did he dare to refuse?

No!

Brandon Jiang steeled himself and said, "As long as I can alleviate Senior Sister Patricia Qing's worries, I am willing to do anything!"

"Very good, you are indeed the talent I recognized at first sight."

Patricia Qing was extremely satisfied and said, "Tomorrow, I will recommend you to Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix as her attendant."

"Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix is a top-tier Foundation Establishment cultivator in our Heavenly Lotus Sect, the most skilled talisman master, and the senior sister I respect the most."

"She has been lacking an attendant recently. You must serve her well, and once she finds a new attendant, I will bring you back."

"If you can please Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix during this period, you will gain countless benefits, both openly and secretly. Do you understand?"@@novelbin@@

Brandon Jiang suddenly understood.

He realized that Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix was the person Patricia Qing wanted to curry favor with.

Or rather, she had already succeeded in currying favor but wanted to improve her standing in Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's eyes. However, she couldn't follow her around all the time, so she sent a confidant to make frequent appearances in front of Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix.

As long as this confidant could please Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, Patricia Qing could also make a good impression.

Although this task didn't seem to have any immediate benefits, Brandon Jiang could see that Senior Sister Patricia Qing valued it highly.

She wanted to send him, not to set him up, but because she had high hopes for him.

However, he had just gained a foothold with Senior Sister Patricia Qing and now had to go please another senior sister, which was quite different from his original plan.

But this was Senior Sister Patricia Qing's order, and he couldn't disobey. He had no choice but to accept.

Brandon Jiang immediately nodded respectfully. "I will follow Senior Sister's orders!"

After speaking, he quickly expressed his loyalty, showing a sad expression. "However, compared to serving the unfamiliar Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, I would rather stay by your side to help you with your troubles."

"Parting tomorrow, I don't know when we will meet again. I am so sad, Senior Sister."

Patricia Qing was slightly moved, looking at Brandon Jiang with a softer gaze.

She took Brandon Jiang's hand and said solemnly, "Do this task well for me, and I promise you, no matter where I go, I will not abandon you."

Brandon Jiang immediately showed an excited expression, taking the opportunity to gain more favor from Patricia Qing.

Then, Patricia Qing carefully explained Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's personality, relationships, likes, and dislikes to Brandon Jiang.

After hearing all this, Brandon Jiang's feelings were even more complicated.

Because he found that Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix seemed difficult to deal with, no, extremely difficult.

To say nothing of other things, she had two major flaws that made people shudder just hearing about them.

The first flaw was extreme cruelty, taking pleasure in torturing mortals and low-level cultivators.

As for how cruel, it was indescribable. But for Patricia Qing, who treated killing as a daily routine and enjoyed flaying and dismembering, to call someone cruel, it must be unimaginably horrific.

The second flaw was her eccentricity. She had explicitly stated that she hated flattery and sycophancy the most.

If anyone dared to flatter her, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix would torture them to death in the most brutal way.

This was not an exaggeration. Countless vivid examples had proven this point.

This left Brandon Jiang feeling helpless. No flattery? How was he supposed to please this top-tier Foundation Establishment cultivator? By working diligently?

But there was no choice. He had already agreed to the task, and no matter how difficult, he had to do it well. Otherwise, he would surely lose favor with Senior Sister Patricia Qing.

So he had to carefully plan how to quickly gain Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's favor.
