The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 62 – Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix Bestows Treasures
After retreating a considerable distance, Brandon Jiang finally couldn't hear those hallucinatory voices anymore.
But his mood remained unsettled for a long time because the information those hallucinations revealed was overwhelming!
The hallucinations would start lurking and waiting to devour him every time he made a breakthrough!
Moreover, the people the hallucinations devoured couldn't have lower cultivation than his; they had to be stronger, or else they would devour him instead!
Although he didn't know if these words were true, Brandon Jiang didn't dare to gamble.
Because if he lost the bet, it would mean death and the end of his Dao.
After a long while, Brandon Jiang barely calmed down, forcing a bitter smile.
For the sake of his life, he would have to prepare a stronger captive every time he made a breakthrough in the future.
But as his cultivation grew higher, the price of the captives he needed would also become more expensive, to the point where he couldn't afford them.
It seemed he would have to work twice as hard to earn money in the future, or he wouldn't dare to make breakthroughs casually.
Overall, though, this experiment, while not completely solving the problem, did reveal a lot of new information.
At the very least, he had gained a deeper understanding of the hallucinations.
As his research deepened, perhaps one day, he would find a way to completely solve the hallucination problem.
Brandon Jiang forced himself to stop thinking about these things for now and returned to the place where the captive had been, finding that it had completely disappeared without leaving a trace.
He checked his Dantian again, and sure enough, that mass of ownerless spiritual energy had grown larger, but only slightly, as the deceased cultivator was merely at the Qi Refining third-level.
He cleaned up the scene and quietly returned to his residence.
In the following days, Brandon Jiang steadily improved his cultivation, and Chu Jun was also making progress in deducing the antidote formula.
At Purple Lotus Peak, Brandon Jiang's work had always been flawless, which made Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix very satisfied.
In secret, whenever Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix was refining Dragon Thunder Talismans, he would secretly steal "Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand" to satisfy Patricia Qing's greed.
Each theft was thrilling but successful, and he managed to steal it three times in a row.

In addition, to communicate with Benjamin Qiao, he learned the Daoist Art "Sound Binding" from Chu Jun. With his unique enhancement to Daoist Arts, even if he used "Sound Binding" in front of a peak Qi Refining cultivator, they wouldn't notice.
Using this Daoist Art, Brandon Jiang talked with Benjamin Qiao in front of Elizabeth Chun and Barbara Xia. Although Benjamin Qiao never revealed much, Brandon Jiang still gathered more and more information about Human Emperor City.
Nearly a month passed, and just when Brandon Jiang thought his days would continue like this, suddenly, after a day's lecture, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix summoned Brandon Jiang, Elizabeth Chun, and Barbara Xia.
In the main hall of Purple Lotus Peak, the three of them came before Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix and respectfully saluted:
"Greetings, Senior Sister. Please give us your instructions."
Sandra Ye waved her hand and said:
"Dispense with the formalities. After handling all the affairs of Purple Lotus Peak, inform everyone that from today onwards, Purple Lotus Peak will be sealed off for several months, with no definite end date."
"Disperse the children sent by the various Foundation Establishment junior sisters; Purple Lotus Peak doesn't need so many people."
The three of them were stunned, and before they could ask, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix continued:
"I've had new insights into the Dao of Talismans and need to go into seclusion. I won't be giving any more lectures."
"As for my businesses on Purple Lotus Peak, Elizabeth Chun and Barbara Xia, you two will manage them with the remaining children until I come out of seclusion."
After speaking, she glanced at the three of them and asked:
"Do you have any questions?"
Elizabeth Chun and Barbara Xia shook their heads, but Brandon Jiang couldn't help but ask:
"Senior Sister, you mentioned that Senior Sister Elizabeth and Senior Sister Barbara would manage Purple Lotus Peak. What about me?"
Sandra Ye looked at Brandon Jiang, her gaze softening, and said:
"Aren't you one of Patricia Qing's people? Of course, you're one of the children to be dispersed."
Brandon Jiang immediately put on a look of grievance and said:
"Although I was under Senior Sister Patricia Qing before, I now want to serve you more. I can't bear to leave now."
Seeing that Brandon Jiang was truly loyal to her, Sandra Ye felt satisfied. She smiled and shook her head:
"You silly girl!"
"Don't worry, I'll have you come back after I come out of seclusion."
"The reason I'm sending you back is so you can have someone to guide you and quickly improve your cultivation."
"Your current cultivation is too low; there are many things I can't entrust to you."
After hearing this, Brandon Jiang understood that Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix was genuinely considering his future and caring for his prospects, which made him feel a warm surge in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that Sandra Ye was a demon, he might have been willing to serve her loyally forever.

On the surface, Brandon Jiang put on a deeply moved expression and gratefully said:
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. Rest assured, when you come out of seclusion, I will make you proud!"
Sandra Ye nodded slightly and suddenly seemed to think of something. She smiled and said:
"Come to think of it, Brandon Jiang, you've been with me for so long, and I've only rewarded you once."
"We won't see each other for the next few months, so I'll give you the rewards I owe you and the rewards for the coming months all at once."
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a treasured sword with a scabbard flew towards Brandon Jiang, stopping in front of him.
"This sword is called the Golden Sun Sword, a top-grade magical weapon. I bestow it upon you today, hoping you can achieve something in the Dao of Fire and the Dao of the Sword."
"Top-grade magical weapon!"
Elizabeth Chun and Barbara Xia couldn't help but exclaim, looking at Brandon Jiang with envy.
Brandon Jiang's heart also trembled. A top-grade magical weapon right off the bat—Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix was too generous to him.
Every magical weapon was extremely expensive, not something an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator could possess.
Even the lowest-grade magical weapon was worth sixty to seventy thousand mortals, and a mid-grade magical weapon was ten times that amount.
The value of a top-grade magical weapon was ten times that of a mid-grade one!
Six to seven million mortals!
Its value was almost equivalent to two Qi Refining ninth-level cultivators! Something a Qi Refining cultivator couldn't afford at all!
And it was just given to him like that?
After calculating the value of the Golden Sun Sword, Brandon Jiang felt his mouth go dry and almost instinctively waved his hands, saying:
"Senior Sister, this sword is too valuable. I... I can't accept it, and my cultivation is too low to use such a precious treasure!"
Sandra Ye frowned and said:
"I told you to take it, so take it. You may not be able to use it now, but one day you will."
Sandra Ye's sudden sternness scared Brandon Jiang, making him shrink his neck and cautiously say:
"Then... then I will accept it with gratitude."
As he spoke, he took the Golden Sun Sword with trembling hands and tried to draw it from its scabbard.
In an instant, a flash of golden light appeared.
A long sword, shining with dazzling brilliance, appeared before Brandon Jiang.
The sword was entirely golden-red, like the golden flames of the sun. The blade was broad, seemingly meant for a man, exuding a domineering aura.
"Good sword."
Although Brandon Jiang didn't understand swords, he couldn't help but praise it sincerely.
Moreover, he could vaguely feel that this sword greatly enhanced both the Dao of the Sword and the Dao of Fire!
This was a sword that Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix had specifically chosen for him!
Brandon Jiang's heart rippled with emotion, and he sincerely bowed to Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix:
"Thank you for the treasured sword, Senior Sister."
Sandra Ye nodded slightly:
"You may all leave now. I'm going into seclusion."
"Yes!"
The three of them responded in unison and left the hall.
As soon as they left, the hall doors closed completely.
Outside the hall, Brandon Jiang put the Golden Sun Sword into his storage bag and solemnly said to Elizabeth Chun and Barbara Xia:
"Senior Sisters, please don't tell anyone about Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix bestowing the sword upon me today."
Elizabeth Chun and Barbara Xia were puzzled:
"Why?"
Brandon Jiang smiled bitterly and said:
"This sword is too valuable. With my current strength, I can't protect it, so it's better not to let others covet it."
Elizabeth Chun and Barbara Xia couldn't help but laugh and shake their heads:
"Junior Sister Brandon, you're overthinking it. Who would dare to snatch a treasure personally bestowed by Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix?"
Brandon Jiang insisted:
"It's better to be cautious."
Seeing Brandon Jiang being so insistent, the two had no choice but to agree.
Little did Elizabeth Chun and Barbara Xia know, Brandon Jiang wasn't worried about other Qi Refining disciples but about Patricia Qing's covetousness.
A top-grade magical weapon worth six to seven million mortals would definitely tempt a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Patricia Qing.
And since he was under her control, if the news reached her and she wanted to take it, he wouldn't have any chance to resist.
