Chapter 26 – Honest Senior Sister Yan
After Chu Jun finished eating, Brandon Jiang took the storage bag, placed the Human Base inside, and left Chu Jun's residence.
On his way back to his own place, Brandon Jiang kept recalling the method Chu Jun mentioned for refining the Heaven, Earth, and Human Bases.
Just these three main ingredients alone required extracting the life force and fortune of nine hundred thousand people!
Yet when Chu Jun spoke of this, it was so nonchalant, as if it was nothing significant.
Brandon Jiang once again realized the cruelty of this world!
If he couldn't adapt, he would be the next to die!
Back at his residence, since he hadn't attended Chu Jun's lecture, it was still just the afternoon.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, began practicing his breathing techniques, and started refining the Qi Gathering Pill's medicinal power within him, converting it into his own spiritual power.
His refining speed was slightly faster than last night, a benefit of reaching the first level of Qi Refining.
However, even with the increased speed, completely refining the Qi Gathering Pill's power was still a distant goal.
He would soon be working under Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix. Although he didn't know what specific tasks he would be doing, cultivating more spiritual power certainly wouldn't hurt.
With this in mind, Brandon Jiang took out a Purification Pill and swallowed it.
He quietly felt the changes the pill brought to him.
Before long, the medicinal power surged, warm currents flowed through Brandon Jiang's limbs and bones, cleansing every inch of his body.
Most of the medicinal power then surged into his dantian, enveloping the unclaimed spiritual energy condensed by the Qi Gathering Pill.
Instantly, the originally solid spiritual energy quickly dissipated, beginning to actively merge into Brandon Jiang's body.
Brandon Jiang operated his breathing techniques, continuously guiding this spiritual energy into his spiritual power cycle.
Strands and wisps of spiritual energy were rapidly converted into spiritual power, causing his spiritual power to continuously increase, which in turn nourished Brandon Jiang's physical body.
With the help of the Purification Pill, Brandon Jiang's cultivation speed was more than doubled, steadily climbing towards the second level of Qi Refining.
As time passed, the spiritual energy from the Qi Gathering Pill gradually diminished, leaving only half of what it was at the start of cultivation.
At this point, the Purification Pill's medicinal power was exhausted, and Brandon Jiang was just a step away from reaching the second level of Qi Refining.
He withdrew from his cultivation state and introspected himself. The total amount of spiritual power was several times that before cultivation, like a small stream.
With so much spiritual power, if used properly, the destructive power would be absolutely astonishing.
Brandon Jiang's physical condition had also improved significantly compared to before, and under the nourishment of spiritual power, it continued to increase slowly but steadily.
And this was just the result of one night's cultivation.
Of course, if he had relied solely on his own cultivation, he wouldn't have achieved such results even in half a month.
It was all thanks to the Purification Pill helping him refine a large amount of the Qi Gathering Pill's medicinal power.
One must know that the Purification Pill was a precious pill worth three thousand mortals, something an average Heavenly Lotus Sect novice couldn't afford. It was worth every penny.
However, after cultivation, Brandon Jiang became even more puzzled.
Logically, the Purification Pill was a grade higher than the Qi Gathering Pill. Even if a Qi Refining cultivator took several Qi Gathering Pills consecutively, the Purification Pill should be able to dissolve all the Qi Gathering Pill's medicinal power.
But in his case, common sense didn't apply. The Qi Gathering Pill's medicinal power was only half dissolved when the Purification Pill lost its effect.
This made Brandon Jiang wonder if Senior Sister Patricia Qing had cut corners.
But his skyrocketing cultivation level proved that the Purification Pill's medicinal power was definitely sufficient.
Which meant the problem lay with the Qi Gathering Pill.
Yet he clearly remembered that the Villain of the Blood Sea only used thirty children to refine this pill!

Could his alchemy skills be so superb that the Qi Gathering Pill's efficacy was dozens, even hundreds of times that of an ordinary Qi Gathering Pill?
Impossible!
Brandon Jiang was confused, the massive spiritual energy in his body felt like a windfall, making him uneasy.
But besides accepting it, he seemed to have no other choice.
After pondering for a long time, Brandon Jiang let it go. Since he had already refined it, it was best if there were no problems. If there were, he couldn't escape anyway.
He stopped thinking about it, got up, and went outside. The sky was very dark, but dawn was approaching.
"Time to go find Senior Sister Yan Baobao."
Brandon Jiang touched the storage bag in his pocket and headed towards Yan Baobao's residence.
With his near-second-level Qi Refining cultivation, he arrived at a mountain peak called Purple Leaf Peak, where the white-robed disciples lived, within a quarter of an hour.
With the information he got from Chu Jun, he quickly found Yan Baobao's residence and knocked on the door.
"Senior Sister Yan, it's your junior, Brandon Jiang, seeking an audience."
"Brandon Jiang? I remember you were recommended by Patricia, but you're two hours early."
A sweet voice came from inside, but it quickly turned cold:
"Are you one of those sycophants? Did you come specifically to find out Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's preferences?"
"Leave! If you go back now, I'll pretend this never happened!"
Brandon Jiang's heart sank upon hearing this.
Judging by Yan Baobao's skilled rejection, it seemed many had tried to ingratiate themselves with her, only to be scolded away.
He wasn't surprised. No one was a fool, especially in such a high-pressure environment where death was always a possibility.
If he could think of currying favor with Yan Baobao, others naturally could too.
However, he didn't leave because of Yan Baobao's scolding. He still stood there respectfully and said:
"Senior Sister Yan, you misunderstand. I am not a sycophant. I admire your outstanding talent and came to pay my respects."
"Moreover, I heard you are preparing to break through to Foundation Establishment. I happen to have a folk remedy that can assist in Foundation Establishment. It's not worth much, but I wanted to offer it to you to wish you success in your endeavor."
"Oh? A remedy for Foundation Establishment?"
Yan Baobao was a bit surprised and immediately said:
"Since it's not worth much, it seems I did misunderstand you, Junior Sister Brandon. Come in quickly."
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
Brandon Jiang bowed at the door, thinking, as expected.
Who isn't tempted by wealth? Yan Baobao had turned others away before because their gifts were too meager.
But it was understandable. How could an ordinary Qi Refining disciple possess one of the three main ingredients for refining Foundation Establishment Pills?
Entering the room, Brandon Jiang saw a tall, well-endowed woman with flowing black hair waiting for him.
Brandon Jiang was momentarily dazed, his gaze involuntarily lowering a bit. This Senior Sister Yan Baobao must have had good nutrition growing up!
What do you think?
