The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh

After receiving Patricia Qing's instructions, Brandon Jiang left the alchemy hall and went to the Cultivation Hall to collect the hundred medicinal men he earned from his B-grade evaluation.

He also took a glance at the value of the Purification Pill on the exchange list, which was astonishingly high at three thousand mortals!

Far higher than the value of a single A-grade evaluation! He had really hit the jackpot.

Then, he returned to Green Leaf Peak and, after ensuring no one was around, slipped into Chu Jun's residence.

"Junior Sister Brandon, did Senior Sister Patricia give you any trouble?"

Seeing Brandon return safely, Chu Jun let out a long sigh of relief, finally able to relax.

Brandon smiled and said, "That old witch Patricia was completely fooled by me. What could possibly happen? Don't worry, Senior Sister."

As he spoke, he took out a storage bag and said, "Here are the hundred medicinal men I got today. Enjoy, Senior Sister."

"Oh, and Senior Sister, Patricia also gave me a Purification Pill. Could you check if she tampered with it?"

Hearing Brandon's complete honesty, Chu Jun covered her mouth and laughed softly, looking at Brandon with gentle eyes.

She took the storage bag and carefully examined the Purification Pill. After confirming there were no issues, she returned it to Brandon.

Then, she quickly invited Brandon to sit down and said, "Let me tell you about the alchemy content that Senior Sister Patricia might ask about tomorrow..."

Before she could finish, Brandon shook his head and said, "There's no rush for that. I won't be attending Patricia's alchemy class tomorrow."

Chu Jun was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why?"

Brandon smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Sister Patricia is forcing me to serve as Sandra Ye's child servant, to try and please her. I don't know when this task will end."

"Sandra..."

Hearing this name, Chu Jun's eyes widened in panic, her expression full of anxiety.

"Why would Senior Sister Patricia assign you such a task? It's too dangerous. Senior Sister Sandra takes pleasure in killing and is impervious to both soft and hard approaches. No one can please her. She's far more dangerous than Senior Sister Patricia. If you anger her, even dying will be difficult!"

Brandon spread his hands helplessly. "I have no confidence either. That's why I came to discuss it with you, Senior Sister."

"Yes! We need to think of a way to get through this crisis."

Chu Jun paced back and forth in a panic, looking more anxious than Brandon.

After thinking hard for a long time, she suddenly stopped, her beautiful eyes shimmering with tears, and said dejectedly, "But I'm too weak. I haven't even reached Foundation Establishment. How can I change Senior Sister Sandra's mind..."

Brandon also pondered, and a thought began to form in his mind. "Senior Sister, don't underestimate yourself. Compared to a newcomer like me, you know more about the people and matters of the Heavenly Lotus Sect."

"Do you know who are the people under Senior Sister Sandra's command, and who she trusts the most?"

Brandon spoke in a serious tone. "Senior Sister Sandra may be stern, but everyone has their preferences. Those who can become her confidants must know how to please her. Perhaps we can start with one of her trusted aides."

Chu Jun's eyes lit up upon hearing this and she exclaimed, "Brandon, you're really quick-witted. Let me think... The most trusted aide of Senior Sister Sandra seems to be called Yan Baobao, a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining like me, who is also preparing for Foundation Establishment."

"Do you know what Senior Sister Yan likes?"

Brandon asked eagerly.

Chu Jun shook her head but then said, "But no matter what her preferences are, they can't compare to the importance of Foundation Establishment. Yan Baobao is focused on achieving Foundation Establishment and lacks only one thing: the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"To ensure the success of Foundation Establishment, even if she already has a Foundation Establishment Pill, she would want a second, a third..."

"Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Brandon was speechless.

Who wouldn't need this thing if they weren't at Foundation Establishment?

If someone gave him a Foundation Establishment Pill now, he would be very happy too!

But why are Foundation Establishment Pills scarce? Because they're expensive!

In the Cultivation Hall, he saw that a single Foundation Establishment Pill was worth fifty thousand mortals!

Just one could make a wealthy peak Qi Refining disciple nearly bankrupt!

He was penniless now. Where could he get a Foundation Establishment Pill?

Should he ask Chu Jun?

Chu Jun did have one, and if he asked, she might not refuse.

But giving away a Foundation Establishment Pill worth fifty thousand mortals just to curry favor with Yan Baobao seemed like a huge loss!

And without the Foundation Establishment Pill, how would Chu Jun achieve Foundation Establishment?

If she couldn't achieve Foundation Establishment in a short time, once Senior Sister Patricia's patience ran out, her death would be imminent.

Brandon fell into deep contemplation, already considering giving up on dealing with Yan Baobao.

At this moment, Chu Jun suddenly said, "Junior Sister Brandon, giving a Foundation Establishment Pill to Yan Baobao as a gift is indeed too much, but I have one of the main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill. You can use it."

As she spoke, she took out a round white stone slab.

Brandon was slightly puzzled. "This is..."

"To refine a Foundation Establishment Pill, the three main ingredients are Heaven Base, Earth Base, and Human Base. What I have here is the Human Base."

"This Human Base is very precious, but Senior Sister Patricia knows I have it. If I show any signs of interacting with other peak Qi Refining disciples, she will quickly find out and take action against me, so I've had to keep it hidden."

Chu Jun explained.

Brandon understood but was still curious. "But Senior Sister Chu Jun, why do you have the main ingredient for a Foundation Establishment Pill? I remember you bought your Foundation Establishment Pill, didn't you?"

Chu Jun smiled wryly. "I originally planned to refine it myself, but I could only obtain the Human Base. The Heaven Base and Earth Base are too rare. Even if I had all the materials, there's still a risk of failure in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, so I had to give up."

Brandon was surprised. He didn't expect Chu Jun to have the capability to refine such a high-level pill as the Foundation Establishment Pill.@@novelbin@@

Her alchemy skills were far more advanced than he had imagined.

With this Human Base, connecting with Yan Baobao should be a sure thing.

He excitedly took the Human Base and said sincerely, "Thank you, Senior Sister Chu Jun, for your help. I will use this first and repay you with something even better in the future!"

Chu Jun's face blushed slightly, and she quickly waved her hand. "It's just a small favor, Junior Sister Brandon. No need to be so polite with me."

"Besides, the Human Base is good, but it's useless to me. You can use it to build connections, which benefits both of us."

Brandon smiled, feeling a ripple in his heart.

Originally, he approached Chu Jun with the intention of using her, but seeing her genuine care for him, he knew he couldn't let her down in the future.

As he caressed the heavy, cold, and hard Human Base in his hand, a thought suddenly occurred to him, and he asked curiously, "Senior Sister, how is this Human Base formed? Is it naturally occurring or refined?"

Chu Jun explained, "The Heaven Base, Earth Base, and Human Base are all refined. The difficulty of refining each base is no less than that of pills like the Clear Mind Pill and Void Pills!"

She added with a bit of pride, "Among Senior Sister Patricia's disciples, I'm the only one who can refine the Human Base. If I had the materials for the Heaven Base and Earth Base, I might be able to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill directly."

Brandon couldn't help but ask, "What are the specific materials needed to refine the Heaven Base, Earth Base, and Human Base?"

Chu Jun, without holding back, explained in detail, "For the Heaven Base, you need the life force and fortune of thirty thousand unborn fetuses."

"For the Earth Base, you need the life force and fortune of thirty thousand mortal virgins' wombs."

"For the Human Base, you need the life force and fortune from the bones of thirty thousand mortal men."

"I once had a city of mortals with a population of eight hundred thousand, but I could only gather enough materials for the Human Base, which has the lowest requirements. Whether it was thirty thousand virgin wombs or thirty thousand unborn fetuses' life force and innate energy, I couldn't gather enough."

"After creating the Human Base, the mortal city was left with only five hundred thousand people. If I continued, there wouldn't be enough to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, so I had to stop."

Chu Jun's tone was filled with regret, but she shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's eat first."

With that, she opened the storage bag and grabbed a handful of medicinal men to absorb.
