The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh

"Senior Sister Yan, this is my family's Foundation Establishment recipe. Please accept it."

Brandon Jiang respectfully handed over the Human Base to Yan Baobao.

"A Human Base!"

Yan Baobao's beautiful eyes lit up with surprise.

She had thought that a newcomer offering a few auxiliary materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill would already be impressive, but unexpectedly, he presented a Human Base right away!

To refine a Human Base, not only did one need the wealth of three hundred thousand mortal men, but also had to spend additional money to hire an alchemist. The cost was nearly equivalent to a complete Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, once all the alchemy materials were gathered and the refinement was successful, one batch could yield four or five Foundation Establishment Pills, making the profits extremely astonishing!

With the Human Base, combined with her accumulated wealth over the years, she might actually be able to hire an alchemist to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill!

Brandon Jiang, this little girl, really went all out to please her.

Yan Baobao took the Human Base and played with it, her thoughts already drifting to the refinement of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

But soon, she snapped back to reality, put away the Human Base, and asked with a playful look:

"Junior Sister Jiang, this recipe is indeed beneficial for Foundation Establishment, but I remember you are a newcomer. Where did you get this recipe?"

When you're just trying to make great content at .

"Is it really a family heirloom, or did you pick it up somewhere, or obtain it through other means?"

Hearing this, Brandon Jiang felt a bit displeased.

This Yan Baobao, she looks pretty, but her heart is as black as coal.

She took such a precious Human Base, and her first thought wasn't to repay him, but to probe his background and the origin of the Human Base.

If he didn't have a strong backing, or if his backing wasn't strong enough, she would definitely keep the Human Base for herself, and might even kill him to silence him.

On a dark and windy night, if he died, with the investigation capabilities of the Heavenly Lotus Sect's Enforcement Hall, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to Yan Baobao.

So dark!

However, no matter what he thought in his heart, Brandon Jiang didn't show any fear on his face. He smiled and said:

"Senior Sister Yan, you have sharp eyes. Actually, this recipe isn't mine; it's from someone behind me."

"If you can successfully break through to Foundation Establishment, it will be good for everyone, don't you think?"

Yan Baobao's eyes flickered as she sized up Brandon Jiang, guessing in her heart.

Indeed, how could a newcomer have a Human Base? This must be Senior Sister Patricia Qing investing in her.

But, letting Brandon Jiang handle such a shady matter showed the trust Senior Sister Patricia Qing had in her.

Thinking of this, Yan Baobao immediately smiled, took Brandon Jiang's hand, and sat down, speaking gently:

"Junior Sister Jiang, you are very considerate. I will remember this favor."

"Junior Sister, you will be serving Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix later. Is there anything you want to ask? I have some experience in taking care of Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix."

"Success!"

Hearing this, Brandon Jiang was overjoyed.

He suppressed his excitement and asked with a worried look:

"Senior Sister, you know I truly want to serve Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix well, but I heard from Senior Sister Patricia Qing that our Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix hates flattery the most, so I wanted to get some advice from you."

"You have been by Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's side for many years, surely you have insights that we others can't reach."

Yan Baobao gently patted Brandon Jiang's hand and smiled:

"So, Junior Sister has such concerns. I can't say exactly what to do, but let me tell you a story."

"Long ago, there was a cultivator who had achieved success in his cultivation and was preparing to enter a powerful dynasty to become an official and accomplish great things.

He bid farewell to his master, who said, 'The court is full of intrigue, being an official is not like cultivating in the wilderness, you should act cautiously.'

The cultivator said, 'Master, don't worry, I have prepared a hundred high hats, I will give one to everyone I meet, there shouldn't be any conflicts.'

The master was very angry, 'Why do you insist on currying favor with the powerful and flattering others? You should be a loyal and upright person, and you will naturally be recognized.'

The cultivator said, 'Master, you are right, but how many people in the world are as noble as you, who don't like flattery?'

The master nodded proudly, 'You have a point.'

After the cultivator left, he told others, 'I now have ninety-nine high hats left.'"

After telling the story, Yan Baobao smiled and asked:

"Junior Sister Jiang, do you understand now?"

Brandon Jiang was stunned, and after a long time, he came to his senses and respectfully bowed to Yan Baobao:

"Listening to Senior Sister's words is like being enlightened, it has greatly benefited me!"

The moral of the story was actually very simple. Many people think they are upright and hate flattery, but in reality, they still like to hear nice words. Those subtle compliments that don't seem like flattery make them feel good and increase their goodwill towards the speaker.

Realizing this truth, Brandon Jiang felt enlightened.

Yan Baobao smiled with satisfaction:

"Junior Sister Jiang, you have good comprehension, but remember, this secret must not be shared carelessly. Besides you, I have never told anyone else."

"If it weren't for the fact that I am about to reach Foundation Establishment and that I really like you, I wouldn't have told you."

Brandon Jiang quickly said:

"Senior Sister, rest assured, what you taught me today is like a precious book, how could I easily show it to others?"

Yan Baobao laughed:

"Junior Sister, you are new here, why don't you come with me to familiarize yourself with Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's dojo?"

"Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix is not just a Foundation Establishment disciple, she is also a talisman master, her status is above almost all Foundation Establishment disciples, enjoying some of the privileges of Golden Elixir elders! For example, having an entire peak as her dojo."

"The dojo is so large that most people get lost when they visit, so you should familiarize yourself with it to avoid any embarrassment."

Brandon Jiang, looking excited, stood up and said:

"I will follow Senior Sister's lead."

The two walked out of Purple Leaf Peak and headed towards a more inner peak.

The Heavenly Lotus Sect had a particular naming convention for its peaks.

The outermost peaks had the character "Leaf" in their names, like Green Leaf Peak and Purple Leaf Peak, which were areas for Qi Refining disciples.

The peaks further in, where Foundation Establishment disciples resided, were named after lotuses. Senior Sister Patricia Qing resided on Green Lotus Peak, while Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix resided on Purple Lotus Peak.

On Green Lotus Peak, several Foundation Establishment disciples, including Patricia Qing, lived, but Purple Lotus Peak was occupied solely by Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, showing her extraordinary status.

Before long, they arrived at Purple Lotus Peak, and the sky began to brighten. This peak faced the east, with purple qi rising, exuding an immortal aura, with jade palaces and pavilions arranged harmoniously, reflecting the heavenly order. The steps were paved with purple jade.

On both sides of the jade steps was a tall purple bamboo forest, with bamboo leaves swaying and a refreshing fragrance filling the air.

It was truly a scene of an immortal abode.

As they walked on the jade steps, children passing by would stop to greet Yan Baobao.

Brandon Jiang followed behind Yan Baobao, constantly listening to her introduction of Purple Lotus Peak, feeling greatly benefited.

When they reached a spot with a great view, Yan Baobao stopped.

She pointed to a person-high piece of purple jade in the direction of the rising sun and said:

"Every day at sunrise, when the purple qi comes from the east, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix will sit on that piece of purple jade to cultivate. In about a quarter of an hour, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix will appear here."

Brandon Jiang followed Yan Baobao's gaze and saw a white-robed disciple meticulously cleaning the purple jade, feeling envious of the treatment Foundation Establishment disciples received.

Even a stone they often sat on was cleaned daily.

He wondered when he would reach Foundation Establishment and no longer live in fear.

As Brandon Jiang was thinking this, suddenly, Yan Baobao sneered.

"Heavenly Phoenix? That old woman Sandra Ye doesn't deserve to sit on such a treasured spot to cultivate!"

"Hmm?"

Brandon Jiang was stunned.

He could hardly believe his ears.

What did Yan Baobao just say?!

She actually called Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix an old woman!!!

There were people nearby! Was she courting death?

However, Yan Baobao seemed indifferent, her voice hoarse as she cursed:

"In my view, Sandra Ye is just a whore flaunting herself. One day, I will make her taste the pain of being tormented and humiliated!"

Brandon Jiang was even more shocked!

What was wrong with Yan Baobao? Was she possessed?

He couldn't help but want to remind her, but Yan Baobao spoke again, this time her voice even hoarser, more like a man's voice.

"By the way, my dear disciple, don't you think it would be more fitting for me to sit on that piece of purple jade to cultivate?"

At these words, Brandon Jiang's mind exploded! His eyes widened!

This voice was...

"My dear disciple, why aren't you speaking? Do you agree with me?"

Yan Baobao slowly turned her head, and her face became incredibly twisted and hideous, as if her skin had been burned, revealing her true appearance.

Half of her face was about to fall off, while the other half had completely fallen off, revealing the ugly face of a man.

That face was none other than the Villain of the Blood Sea!@@novelbin@@
