The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh

When Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix cast her gaze over, Brandon Jiang's heart tightened instantly, and he didn't dare to breathe.

With his current success rate, he might very well follow in the footsteps of the three dead children before him!

However, the development of events far exceeded Brandon Jiang's and everyone's expectations.

After examining the semi-finished Gold Sand made by Brandon, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix nodded in satisfaction and smiled encouragingly:

"Brandon, you did very well. Successfully making Golden Thunder Sand on your first try is a big improvement. Keep it up."

Hearing this, Brandon was stunned.

The other children were also deeply shocked and incredulous at this evaluation.

Had Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix ever praised anyone?

Very rarely, Yan Baobao was one such person in the past.

Besides her, only children and disciples who performed exceptionally well could receive such an honor.

But what had Brandon done?

His success rate for making 'Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand' was less than fifty percent!

Even compared to other complete novices, this result was quite mediocre, even poor.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Brandon had no talent for making talismans!

Yet Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix took the initiative to praise him?

Why?

The only ones qualified to receive such praise, besides some veteran children, were outstanding disciples like Dorothy Lin.

But Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix favored Brandon, which many found hard to accept.

Of course, if Brandon was just being praised, no one would care, but the problem was that every time Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix praised someone, it meant she would bestow a reward!

Sure enough, before Brandon could react, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix waved her hand, and a piece of talisman paper appeared in front of him.

"Study hard. One day, when you master the art of talismans, use this paper to draw your first one."

Seeing the talisman paper, Brandon vaguely remembered that it originally belonged to a child who failed to make talismans. That child's skinless and soulless corpse still lay not far away.

However, despite its horrifying origin, its value was undoubtedly very high!

Not to mention that the material of this talisman paper was from a Qi Refining cultivator, more importantly, it was personally refined by Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix.

If it were outside, its value would be unimaginable.

But since it was a gift from Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, he dared not sell it.

Of course, when good things come your way, there's no reason not to accept them.

Brandon immediately bowed respectfully and said excitedly:

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for your praise. I will not let you down!"

Saying this, he took the talisman paper with both hands.

Through this incident, Brandon realized his status in Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's heart was far higher than he had imagined.

He knew very well the level of his 'Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand'.

Yet, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix was still willing to praise him. This was blatant favoritism!

To be favored to such an extent, she probably saw him as half a Yan Baobao.

It seemed that as long as he didn't make any major mistakes on Purple Lotus Peak, he would be safe and well-protected.

Thinking of this, Brandon felt extremely comfortable.

Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix nodded slightly and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, an angry voice rang out:

"I don't accept this!"

Everyone turned to look.

The speaker was none other than Dorothy Lin.

Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix frowned slightly, looking at Dorothy Lin with increasing displeasure:

"What do you not accept?"

Dorothy's pretty face was full of indignation as she stared at the talisman paper in Brandon's hand:

"I don't accept Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's rewards and punishments!"

"We're both newcomers doing the same work, and I did ten times better than Brandon! Why does Brandon get your praise and reward, while I get nothing? I think this is unfair!"

Dorothy had never felt so frustrated. She was better than Brandon, this useless person, in every way, yet she always ended up being overshadowed by him!

She didn't understand why, as a newcomer with the Lin Family as her backing, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix was so biased towards Brandon!

She had a task to win Sandra Ye's favor for her Foundation Establishment senior sister.

But because of Brandon, her task not only couldn't proceed but was going in the opposite direction!

For both public and private reasons, she had to get rid of Brandon, or she would never be at peace!

Hearing Dorothy's words, a coldness rose in Brandon's heart.

This was too much! He had no enmity with Dorothy, yet she targeted him repeatedly. If this continued, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix might distance herself from him.

Even a clay figure has a bit of temper. Being bullied like this, Brandon was not going to endure it anymore.

Dorothy wanted to use him as a stepping stone?

Let's see who steps on whom!

Brandon quickly came up with a plan!

Before Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix could speak, Brandon put on a pitiful and scared expression and said:

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Lin. I didn't know accepting Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's reward would make you so angry."

"But please don't blame Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix. It's all my fault. I shamelessly accepted the praise despite not being as capable as you. I should apologize to you."

"You have self-awareness, that's good..."

Dorothy was about to nod but suddenly felt something was off.

Brandon's words sounded like an apology, but why did they feel so irritating?

Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, surprised, said:

"Dorothy Lin is targeting you like this, and you still speak for her?"@@novelbin@@

Brandon smiled, lowered his head, and said weakly:

"It's okay. I'm used to it. I've lived like this since I was a child. Besides Sister Yan, you're the best person to me, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix. I don't want you to have conflicts with a cultivation family like the Lin Family because of me."

Hearing this, Sandra Ye's gaze softened instantly. She remembered that Brandon had lost his parents at a young age and had been tortured in a demonic cultivator's lair, barely surviving.

Now, his only relative, Yan Baobao, was dead, and he had only her to rely on. She couldn't let this child suffer.

Thinking of this, Sandra Ye gently patted Brandon's head and said:

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can bully you!"

But Brandon quickly stopped her:

"Sandra, please don't do that!"

"I know you didn't reward Senior Sister Lin because you have higher expectations for her, to train her character. She's just momentarily upset. I believe that given time, she'll understand your good intentions!"

Hearing this, Sandra Ye's gaze softened even more. She said softly:

"You child, so understanding at such a young age. I can't imagine how much you've suffered outside."

"Alright, I'll listen to you and let Dorothy Lin off this time."

She then looked at Dorothy Lin, her gaze colder than before, even with a hint of disgust:

"Did you hear that? This is the difference between you and Brandon! Despite your slander, she still considers your feelings!"

"And you? Jealous and petty, you don't understand my intentions at all!"

"This time, I'll let you off for Brandon's sake, but if it happens again, I'll punish you doubly!"

"Now, apologize to Brandon."

Dorothy was stunned, feeling both shocked and frustrated!

What was wrong with Brandon? Her words seemed to be for her benefit, but the more she spoke, the angrier Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix became?

And now she had to apologize to Brandon!

What did she do wrong? Why did she have to apologize without understanding why?

Could it be that Brandon used some mind-bending Daoist art?
