The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 64 – Break through to the fifth level of Qi training! Preparations before the mission!
As night fell, Patricia Qing left Brandon Jiang behind and said:
"Tomorrow, I will go into seclusion to break through, and you have accumulated ten A-grade evaluations. It's time for you to take on a reward task."
"As for the specific task, I've already arranged it for you. In a day or two, the Heavenly Lotus Sect will be recruiting a batch of new disciples, and you will be in charge of this entrance assessment."
Brandon was slightly surprised:
"Is it time for another entrance assessment already?"
Patricia replied indifferently:
"Naturally. The Heavenly Lotus Sect selects a large number of young sacrificial furnaces from the subordinate countries and cities every month as rewards for Qi Refining disciples."
"This batch of sacrificial furnaces is of excellent quality. Not only are they around fourteen or fifteen years old, but the probability of them having good aptitude is also very high!"
"Even the worst D-grade aptitude, their vitality and Fortune are equivalent to several ordinary mortals in terms of nourishing effects for cultivators. The nourishing effects of C-grade, B-grade, and A-grade aptitudes increase tens or even hundreds of times!"
"And most of them will become the sacrificial furnaces for the main examiner. Such a task, with no danger and immense benefits, is the most sought-after among reward tasks. I've reserved it for you in advance."
Patricia's expression grew serious, and she spoke earnestly:
"Brandon, you must understand that ten A-grade evaluations are not easy to come by."
"For someone with mid-to-upper aptitude like you, it might take ten years to achieve ten A-grade evaluations. Some Qi Refining disciples accumulate for decades, even centuries, to barely achieve a hundred B-grade evaluations for a reward task."
"Think carefully about how deeply I favor you!"
"If you don't cherish this opportunity and break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, I will truly be angry."
"And you don't want to know the consequences of my anger."
Her voice turned icy cold, sending chills down Brandon's spine.
Despite this, he suppressed his fear and solemnly said:
"Senior Sister Patricia, thank you for finding such a good task for me, but I won't take it. I want to do a task outside the sect."
The temperature in the hall instantly dropped to a bone-chilling cold.
Patricia's eyes turned cold with intense displeasure:
"An outside task? Are you trying to get away from me?!"
"Of course not. With the Heartbreak Pill in me, no matter where I go, I'll eventually return."
Brandon quickly replied:
"I just think there are more opportunities outside. If I can kill a few demonic cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining, the rewards will be far greater than hosting an entrance assessment."
"Hmph, quite the ambition."

Patricia snorted coldly, but her expression softened a bit.
She knew Brandon had exceptional talent in Daoist Arts. His Fire Control Technique at the second level of Qi Refining was already at the fourth level's standard.
Now, Brandon's cultivation had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he had obtained the Daoist art "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair" from Dorothy Lin. His actual combat power might be close to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Although the outside world was full of cunning demonic cultivators, as long as Brandon was careful, killing one or two demonic cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining wasn't impossible.
"The outside world is dangerous, full of demonic cultivators. Even if you go to the areas under the Heavenly Lotus Sect's jurisdiction, as a newcomer in the Qi Refining stage, you could easily lose your life."
Patricia's tone was heavy.
Brandon replied:
"I survived the hands of demonic cultivators. I should be able to handle the dangers outside."
Patricia added:
"The duration of tasks outside is long, at least a month, possibly two or three months. I want you to come back with your cultivation at the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining. If you dare to promise this, I'll allow you to go."
Brandon's expression was serious:
"The sixth level of Qi Refining. If I don't reach the sixth level when I return, you can deal with me as you see fit, Senior Sister!"
"Good! Remember what you said!"
Patricia waved her hand, and a snow-white pill appeared in front of Brandon.
"This antidote can delay the effects of the Heartbreak Pill for four months. If you fail, this might be the last antidote you get."
"I understand."
Brandon nodded, put away the antidote, and slowly retreated.
As soon as he left, the doors to Patricia's residence were completely sealed.
She had entered seclusion.
This novel is available on ".
Brandon looked back at the closed doors, feeling a bit sentimental.
For a while, he wouldn't see Patricia or Sandra Ye, the two Foundation Establishment senior sisters connected to him.
But that was fine. These few months were his best opportunity for growth.
He returned to Green Leaf Peak and went to Chu Jun's residence, taking out the antidote that would last four months to study with her.
After much effort, they were close to deducing the antidote formula for Patricia's Heartbreak Pill.
During their research, Brandon mentioned his plan to take on tasks outside the sect.
"Brandon, your first task and you want to go outside?!"
Chu Jun was both surprised and worried:
"The outside world is dangerous. Many disciples never return once they leave."
Brandon smiled bitterly and said:
"I have no choice. Patricia's pressure is too much. I have to take some risks."
Chu Jun tried to persuade him a few more times, but seeing Brandon's determination, she reluctantly asked:
"When do you plan to leave?"
Brandon had already considered this and said:
"Before I go, I plan to master another Daoist art, which will take about a week."
"After all, you're right, Senior Sister Chu Jun. The outside world is dangerous, and I need to prepare well before setting off."
Chu Jun's worry lessened a bit. She knew Brandon's talent in Daoist Arts, and learning one or two more arts would make him safer outside.
Then Brandon asked:
"By the way, Senior Sister Chu, are you ready for Foundation Establishment? With Patricia in seclusion, now is the best time for you."
Chu Jun replied solemnly:
"I'll prepare as soon as possible and strive to complete Foundation Establishment before Senior Sister Patricia comes out of seclusion."
"That's good."
Brandon nodded, stayed a while longer, and then left Chu Jun's residence to exchange for a suitable Daoist art.
He didn't have much cash, but he had accumulated many Qi Gathering Pills given by Patricia.
He couldn't use them all, and he had stored nearly fifty thousand Qi Gathering Pills for Chu Jun. The rest were just piling up.
He had long wanted to sell them, but with Patricia around, he didn't dare. Now that she was in seclusion, he could act boldly, sell a thousand or two thousand Qi Gathering Pills, and exchange them for resources.
As for finding buyers, Brandon had met many elite Qi Refining disciples while trading talisman sand. Qi Gathering Pills were in high demand, and they wouldn't refuse.
Brandon quickly contacted these senior sisters, and as expected, all the Qi Gathering Pills were sold at a high price.
He suddenly had over four hundred thousand in cash.
For a Qi Refining disciple, this was a huge sum, enough to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill or a decent mid-grade magical artifact.
The value of these pills showed how much Patricia had invested in his cultivation, not to mention the more precious Purification Pills.
With over four hundred thousand in hand, Brandon went to the Cultivation Hall to exchange for the resources he needed.
Besides Daoist arts, he needed something more important.
A living cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining. His cultivation was on the verge of breaking through, and with a suitable captive, he could start tonight.
After spending three hundred thousand, he got a sixth-level Qi Refining demonic cultivator, with intact body and limbs.
He had about one hundred and sixty thousand left.
Brandon looked at the exchange list, searching for a sword technique.
Yes, he wanted to exchange for a sword Daoist art.
With the Golden Sun Sword, not learning sword techniques would be a waste.
When traveling outside, one shouldn't flaunt wealth. Brandon wouldn't show off the Golden Sun Sword but would keep it hidden.
But if he could learn a powerful sword technique and combine it with the Golden Sun Sword, it could become his trump card, possibly turning the tide in critical moments!
Soon, Brandon's eyes fixed on a sword technique's description, showing a satisfied expression.
