The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh

Standing in front of the wooden stake, Brandon Jiang awkwardly controlled his spiritual power, transforming it into the flame he needed.

As he sensed the Fire Control Technique about to succeed, he quickly pointed at the wooden stake.

His spiritual power began to deplete, and a pillar of orange-red flame shot out from his fingertip, enveloping the stake.

In an instant! Truly in just an instant, the wooden stake, which required two people to encircle, turned into charred ash, burned cleanly.

Under the night sky, the flame transformed by spiritual power emitted a terrifying high temperature, illuminating Brandon's small courtyard brightly.

Brandon was startled by the power and quickly dispersed the flame.

Staring at the stake reduced to ashes, he silently assessed the power of the Fire Control Technique.

The stake clearly didn't test the flame's limit. Even though a mortal's body is more resistant to burning than wood, facing his flame, it would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Only the body of a cultivator could withstand the spiritual flame for a few seconds.

Such power left Brandon in disbelief.

With just the second level of Qi Refining, he possessed such strength. How powerful must those at the Foundation Establishment Stage or even the Golden Elixir Stage be?

To break free from the control of such beings, the road ahead was long and arduous.

After practicing for a while longer, it was nearing dawn.

He first restored his depleted spiritual energy, then headed to the Green Leaf Peak cafeteria.

Although he still had plenty of mortal food left from yesterday, it was of no help in improving his cultivation.

He needed to get stronger quickly and not fall into complacency.

After eating, Brandon arrived at Purple Lotus Peak, just as the sun was rising in the east, bringing with it the purple energy from the east.

From a distance, Brandon saw Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix sitting cross-legged on a piece of purple jade. The purple energy from heaven and earth seemed to converge towards her, like countless colorful clouds, magnificent and awe-inspiring.

A white-robed disciple saw Brandon and approached with a smile:

"Junior Sister Jiang, this is your first time seeing this scene, right?"

"This purple energy from heaven and earth is extraordinary. It's said to be several times stronger than the spiritual energy we absorb, and the spiritual power it condenses is even more potent."

"However, correspondingly, the purple energy isn't something that can be absorbed casually. It only appears for a brief half-hour each day at sunrise, and each absorption requires the power of a third of a Qi Refining cultivator to be eligible to absorb the purple energy."

"For someone like Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, it even requires the power of mid to late-stage Qi Refining cultivators to be effective."

Brandon withdrew his gaze, no longer surprised by the common practice of absorbing others' power and fortune for cultivation.@@novelbin@@

However, he did gain new information.

The higher the cultivator's realm, the more they needed to absorb higher-level sacrificial furnaces to feel and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Before long, the purple energy dissipated, and Sandra Ye slowly finished her cultivation, closing her eyes to meditate.

The white-robed disciple reminded:

"Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix finishing her cultivation means the daily morning class is about to begin."

"As children, we need to prepare quickly and not delay today's talisman refining."

"Junior Sister Jiang, follow me to meet Senior Sisters Elizabeth and Barbara. They will arrange today's work for us."

Brandon immediately replied:

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for the explanation. I will follow your lead."

The two walked together and soon arrived at the square where they had gathered yesterday. By now, many people had already gathered, and two female cultivators with strong spiritual power fluctuations were assigning tasks.

Brandon remembered these two as the only peak Qi Refining cultivators on Purple Lotus Peak he saw yesterday.

According to the senior sister beside him, Senior Sisters Elizabeth Chun and Barbara Xia were personally trained by Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix. Although not as favored as Yan Baobao, their status was quite high.

Now that Yan Baobao was dead, they had become the most valued children of Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix.

Brandon immediately understood.

Elizabeth and Barbara were the ones he needed to curry favor with in the future.

However, these two, having followed Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix since childhood, had extremely cold and hard temperaments, impartial in their actions, and were tough nuts to crack.

Without understanding their personalities, blindly flattering them might offend them.

When Elizabeth and Barbara finished instructing the people in front, Brandon approached, first greeting them with a bow, then said:

"Senior Sisters, I am new here and unfamiliar with the specific tasks. I hope you can guide me."

Elizabeth and Barbara looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with almost identical appearances, being twins. The former had long black hair, while the latter had short silver hair. Both had extremely delicate and lovely features, but their expressions were very cold, as if they kept everyone at a distance.

Seeing Brandon, Elizabeth and Barbara's gazes changed slightly.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".

Brandon's identity as Yan Baobao's sister and the commotion she caused yesterday left a deep impression on them.

However, they didn't say much, simultaneously speaking in a cold tone:

"Senior Sister is refining Thunder Dao Spirit Talismans today. Go to the medicinal field and select Qi Refining cultivators with 'Dragon Thunder Fate' to make 'Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand.'"

"As for how to select 'Dragon Thunder Fate' and how to make 'Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand,' those doing the same task will teach you."

They pointed to a small team that had already gathered several people.

"Understood."

Brandon nodded and walked towards the small team.

The content of Elizabeth and Barbara's words had already caused a storm in his heart.

The medicinal field could even grow Qi Refining cultivators! Could cultivators like him also be mass-produced?

The methods of the Heavenly Lotus Sect were truly terrifying.

With a heart full of doubts and shock, Brandon joined the small team, greeting the elders one by one.

They all nodded slightly, showing a friendly attitude towards Brandon.

Clearly, Brandon's identity as Yan Baobao's sister was quite intimidating.

However, the team didn't rush to the medicinal field but continued to wait in place.

Brandon listened to a team member explain that their team was expected to have ten people, and they were still one person short.

Naturally, Brandon followed the crowd and waited obediently.

Before long, more children gathered, far more than Brandon saw yesterday.

Obviously, Yan Baobao's sudden death yesterday was too abrupt and early, and many children hadn't arrived.

After the incident, Purple Lotus Peak was immediately sealed off, and those who hadn't arrived were blocked outside, unable to enter.

Now, everyone was here.

Among the last few children to arrive, Brandon saw a familiar young figure.

He had seen her during the entrance assessment.

Although she wore the Heavenly Lotus Sect's standard white robe, she had a jade wrist guard carved with dragons and phoenixes on her wrist, a string of colorful jade pendants hanging from her waist, a golden hairpin on her head, and pearl earrings. Every movement exuded an air of nobility and elegance.

One look and you could tell she was born into wealth and privilege.

Her appearance was stunning, with brows like a painting and skin whiter than snow, outshining all her accessories.

Her expression carried a faint arrogance, as if nothing could make her bow her head.

It was none other than Dorothy Lin.

The A-grade lower-tier genius, the noble daughter of the Lin Family, a cultivation family.

Brandon hadn't seen her yesterday, but today he did.

He clearly felt the undisguised second level of Qi Refining cultivation emanating from Dorothy.

She had also reached the second level of Qi Refining.

Brandon was slightly surprised but quickly understood.

This person had better talent than him and came from a cultivation family. It was only natural for her to progress quickly.

Other white-robed disciples, seeing Dorothy, made way for her, showing a few respectful expressions. Some even greeted her proactively.

These people were all stronger than Dorothy, yet they all bowed to her, indicating the formidable background she had.

Elizabeth and Barbara, seeing Dorothy, were about to assign tasks when Dorothy suddenly glanced at them coldly.

"Your heads are too high."

Elizabeth and Barbara's cold expressions immediately changed, showing obvious anger.

But in the end, they lowered their heads, like subordinates reporting to their superiors.

Brandon was dumbfounded by this scene.

Two peak Qi Refining experts, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's confidants, also bowed to Dorothy?!

This was truly someone who stood above all but one on Purple Lotus Peak!

Brandon immediately decided to avoid provoking Dorothy in the future, or he would suffer.

However, fate was not kind, and the thing Brandon least wanted to hear happened!

Elizabeth and Barbara, with a tone of anger and frustration, said:

"Junior Sister Lin, you need to select Qi Refining cultivators with Dragon Thunder Fate today to make 'Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand.'"

"Your team is over there, just waiting for you. Follow them and set off."
