The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh

Chapter 9 – The sacrificial furnace is also graded!



Hearing the young fairy call out his name, Brandon Jiang's heart pounded fiercely, and his body trembled slightly.

"Brandon Jiang, your aptitude is... Class B."

Upon hearing this, Brandon was momentarily stunned but quickly reacted, a surge of joy sweeping through his heart.

His tense muscles relaxed, and he let out a deep breath.

He had passed! His aptitude was qualified! And not the lowest Class C, but Class B!

Most of the participants had already had their aptitudes announced, but only two had Class B. Including himself, there were only three.

With such an aptitude, he had the potential to become a Golden Elixir Master. In the Heavenly Lotus Sect, he would definitely fare better than the ordinary disciples with Class C aptitude.

As Brandon was analyzing this, the young fairy suddenly spoke:"Brandon Jiang, your speed in absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is top-notch among Class B aptitudes. Among this batch of new disciples, you might stand out. No wonder Senior Sister Yu has taken a liking to you."

The young fairy's tone was kind, completely devoid of the previous coldness, as if she now regarded Brandon as one of her own, even hinting at a desire to befriend him.@@novelbin@@

Hearing this, Brandon hurriedly bowed and said:"Rest assured, Senior Sister. I... I will not disappoint you and Senior Sister Yu."

The young fairy nodded in satisfaction, while the surrounding people looked at Brandon with envy.

Class B top-notch aptitude! Didn't that mean Brandon's cultivation speed would far surpass theirs, with fewer bottlenecks?

It might not be long before Brandon's strength reached a level they could only look up to.

Some quick-witted individuals couldn't help but want to cozy up to him.

At this moment, the young fairy spoke again, her tone now tinged with excitement and shock:"Ashley Taibai, aptitude... Class A top-notch!"

Boom—

This announcement immediately stunned everyone present, their attention instantly drawn to Ashley Taibai.

Brandon also looked at Ashley in amazement.

"Class A top-notch, doesn't that mean Ashley Taibai's aptitude is the highest? No one has a stronger aptitude than her?!"

"With such aptitude, Ashley Taibai might become an Ancestor at the Elemental Infant Stage! If we could associate with her, wouldn't we be able to walk sideways in the Heavenly Lotus Sect?"

Everyone was exclaiming, many looking at Ashley Taibai with admiration and flattery.

Some wanted to approach her, but her cold gaze forced them to retreat.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister Taibai."

The young fairy said kindly:"With such aptitude, your future achievements are limitless!"

However, Ashley Taibai responded indifferently:"What does Class A aptitude matter, or Class B for that matter? Without strength, even the greatest talent is just empty talk. I am still a mortal, a mortal that Senior Sister could easily crush."

The young fairy was slightly taken aback, her eyes showing a hint of admiration.

"Junior Sister Taibai, you can immediately grasp this concept. Such insight is unheard of. Perhaps someone like you is truly suited to the laws of the Cultivation World."

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister."

Ashley Taibai nodded and said no more.

The young fairy then announced the aptitudes of the remaining few, and after dealing with a batch of Class D aptitudes, the rest became new disciples of the Heavenly Lotus Sect.

Out of tens of thousands of mortal girls participating in the assessment, only about forty remained.

At this moment, streams of light suddenly shot from the distant fairy mountain.

A powerful pressure descended upon Brandon and everyone present, making them feel an involuntary urge to submit.

The streams of light stopped above the square, transforming into fairies with extraordinary auras.

As these fairies descended, even Jessica Yu, who had been watching, dared not hide any longer. She quickly revealed herself and joined the three fairies in greeting them.

Jessica Yu and the three fairies all landed on the ground, bowing respectfully to the fairies in the sky:"Disciple greets the Sect Master, Elders, and Senior Sisters!"

Sect Master! Elders! Senior Sisters!

Hearing these titles, Brandon was extremely shocked.

In his mind, Jessica Yu and the three fairies were already significant figures, yet these Heavenly Lotus Sect fairies had much higher statuses than them?!

How powerful must they be? Brandon could hardly imagine!

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded:"Rise, do not be constrained."

As the voice echoed, the heavy pressure on Brandon instantly dissipated, allowing him to straighten up.

He cautiously looked up, seeing the Heavenly Lotus Sect fairies standing in orderly positions, their statuses clearly defined.

At the far end were dozens of fairies in yellow shirts, likely the Senior Sisters mentioned by Jessica Yu and the three fairies.

In the middle were over ten fairies in red robes, their attire clearly more luxurious, exuding an aura of authority, evidently the Elders of the Heavenly Lotus Sect.

At the forefront stood a middle-aged beauty in a green palace dress.

Her features were delicate, her figure graceful, and her demeanor gentle and elegant, with no hint of aggression.

It was she who had lifted the pressure from everyone present, undoubtedly the Sect Master of the Heavenly Lotus Sect.

If not seen with his own eyes, Brandon would never believe that this gentle beauty could be the Sect Master of such a sinister place as the Heavenly Lotus Sect.

The purpose of the Heavenly Lotus Sect fairies' arrival was simple: to meet the new disciples and instruct them on the rules to follow and the daily tasks to complete after joining the sect.

"Patricia Qing, Ashley Taibai, and Brandon Jiang, you will be under your guidance. Do not let their talents go to waste."

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Lotus Sect looked at a yellow-shirted woman behind her and instructed.

The woman called Patricia Qing immediately responded respectfully, catching Brandon's attention.

This Senior Sister Qing would be his and Ashley Taibai's temporary teacher.

Brandon was surprised. The Heavenly Lotus Sect was so considerate? One-on-one teaching, with each new disciple assigned a Senior Sister as a teacher!

This didn't seem like the behavior of a sinister sect at all!

Could it be that the Heavenly Lotus Sect was cruel to mortals but kind to its own members?

Brandon couldn't think of any other reason.

Perhaps life in the Heavenly Lotus Sect wouldn't be as terrifying as he had imagined?

As he pondered this, a pillar of light suddenly rose from the fairy mountain where the Heavenly Lotus Sect was located, an unprecedentedly vast pressure enveloping the entire mountain.

The Sect Master, Elders, and all the disciples of the Heavenly Lotus Sect's faces changed drastically.

Especially the yellow-shirted disciples and Jessica Yu, their expressions showed a hint of fear!

What was happening?

Brandon was secretly alarmed. Could there be another expert?

***

In the next moment, the pillar of light dissipated, and a figure appeared before the Sect Master of the Heavenly Lotus Sect without any warning.

Everyone looked closely and saw a little girl who looked no more than ten years old!

This little girl was as cute as a doll, but her eyes lacked the innocence of a child, filled instead with age and coldness.

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Lotus Sect looked at the girl and then solemnly bowed:"Greetings, Ancestor Jennifer Ling, congratulations on your emergence."

The fairies behind the Sect Master, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly bowed as well.

As for Jessica Yu, the three fairies, and the new disciples, they were already prostrate on the ground, not daring to move.

Ancestor Jennifer Ling glanced at the middle-aged beauty, frowned, and said:"I've only been in seclusion for less than fifty years, and the Heavenly Lotus Sect has changed Sect Masters?"

The Sect Master quickly replied:"I am Kimberly Wei, my master was the previous Sect Master of the Heavenly Lotus Sect."

Ancestor Jennifer Ling made a sound of acknowledgment but still seemed displeased:"The Sect Masters of the Heavenly Lotus Sect in recent centuries have been getting worse and worse, all useless, including you."

Kimberly Wei smiled bitterly and said with shame:"I'am is unworthy, disappointing the Ancestor."

Her body trembled, and two orbs of light floated out from her, representing part of her power and Fortune.

Her face instantly turned pale, and she respectfully presented the two orbs to Ancestor Jennifer Ling:"Please forgive me, Ancestor."

Seeing this, Ancestor Jennifer Ling's expression softened slightly.

"You do have some sense. Among recent Sect Masters, you're not the worst. I won't say much more. Work hard in the future."

She inhaled the two orbs through her nose, her face showing enjoyment:"I've just emerged from seclusion and will wander the world. Take care of the sect."

With that, she disappeared as suddenly as she had appeared.

***

After Ancestor Jennifer Ling left, Jessica Yu, the three fairies, and Brandon finally dared to straighten up.

Seeing the Sect Master offering her power and Fortune to the Ancestor like a tribute, the new disciples were deeply shocked!

Ancestor Jennifer Ling... She... she was treating her juniors as a Sacrificial Furnace to absorb!

Even the Sect Master of the Heavenly Lotus Sect couldn't escape the fate of being a Sacrificial Furnace?!

What happened next terrified them even more.

The gentle and elegant Sect Master of the Heavenly Lotus Sect smiled and looked at the Elders present.

As her gaze swept over them, orbs of power and Fortune floated from the bodies of the red-robed Elders, transforming into streams of energy that the Sect Master inhaled in one breath.

Immediately, the Sect Master's pale face became rosy.

"Ancestor Jennifer Ling's emergence is a significant event. I must return to handle sect affairs. Please feel free to go about your business."

With that, the Sect Master also floated away.

Brandon and the new disciples were numb.

Ancestor Jennifer Ling treated the Sect Master as a Sacrificial Furnace, and the Sect Master treated the Elders as Sacrificial Furnaces.

Seeing the terrified expressions of the yellow-shirted disciples, it was easy to predict what would happen next.

The Elders, with grim faces, each named a group of yellow-shirted disciples and took them away.

Soon, only Jessica Yu, the three fairies, and the new disciples remained in the square.

But the new disciples' faces were all pale.

Brandon's heart sank, and he couldn't help but mock himself.

He had been too naive, not understanding the Heavenly Lotus Sect or the entire Cultivation World.

Here, Sacrificial Furnaces were ranked!

Big fish eat little fish, little fish eat shrimp; this is the law of the Cultivation World!

And he finally understood why newcomers were placed under the yellow-shirted disciples.

Because they were not just new disciples, but also the Sacrificial Furnaces for the yellow-shirted disciples!
