The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 70 – Cultivation is the way of human relationships
Qiu Jing and the other two swiftly changed into the attire of the Blood Fiend Hall and soared into the sky, their spiritual power hands constantly grabbing mortals from the city.
In an instant, the peaceful Guangxia City descended into chaos, with screams and wails echoing everywhere.
The stench of blood filled the entire city, and mortals were harvested like grass by the three of them.
In just a moment, hundreds of thousands of mortals were either collected into storage bags by Qiu Jing and the others or directly drained dry.
Meanwhile, Brandon Jiang took advantage of the chaos caused by the three to examine the ancient storage bag he had obtained from Zhang Ren.
The storage bag itself was nothing special, with limited capacity.
The items inside were also quite ordinary: a breathing technique manual, a low-level Daoist arts manual, and no magical artifacts or treasures.
In addition, there were many pieces of jerky made from human flesh, estimated to be from thousands of people.
The jerky could be considered currency, but the breathing technique and the Daoist arts manual were both quite ordinary, slightly better than the Fire Control Technique, but not worth practicing.
This left Brandon Jiang a bit disappointed. Are all rogue cultivators this poor? Zhang Ren was at the sixth level of Qi Refining!
Just as he thought there would be no gains, Brandon Jiang suddenly noticed a piece of meat among the jerky that was different from the rest.
This piece of meat was the size of an adult, also made into jerky, but its color was different, resembling purple jade, with extremely fine muscle fibers. If not looked at carefully, it could easily be mistaken for a piece of jade.
No matter the appearance or size, this piece of meat was clearly not human.
This made Brandon Jiang a bit curious, as he had never seen an animal with such strange meat.
Moreover, from the aura emitted by this piece of meat, it was definitely not ordinary and must have been on the path of cultivation before its death.
He wondered what benefits he might gain from consuming the power and fortune within this meat.
But then, Brandon Jiang quickly shook his head, suppressing the urge to try it.
Although it wasn't human meat, who knew what it was? What if something went wrong?
He decided to investigate the origins of this meat first and use it only after confirming it was safe.
After checking all the items, Brandon Jiang put away the ancient storage bag.
For now, his gains were minimal, and it all depended on the value of that strange piece of meat.
Not long after, Qiu Jing and the others finished their slaughter, finally noticing that Brandon Jiang had been standing quietly in the distance without taking any action.
This puzzled the three of them, and Li Qinxin asked:
"Junior Sister Jiang, why aren't you using these sacrificial furnaces? Opportunities to harvest them so freely are rare."
Brandon Jiang smiled and said:
"To be honest, Senior Sisters, I'm not in the mood right now. Please take my share."
"I've been cultivating on the mountain for a long time and have never returned to my hometown. Seeing the bustling Guangxia City makes me miss home."
"Actually, besides completing the mission, I also wanted to visit my hometown this time."
With a sincere expression, Brandon Jiang said:
"Now that the mission is complete, I boldly request that the three Senior Sisters stay in Guangxia City for a few more days. Once I've visited my family, we can regroup."
Upon hearing this, the three had different expressions, but all showed some displeasure.
Li Qinxin still had a smiling face, but her words carried a hint of coldness:
"Junior Sister Jiang, you're making things difficult for us. Just because of you, we have to waste our time?"
"I think you should obediently come with us. If you don't listen, Senior Sister will get angry."
He Guanyun said coldly:
"Where is your home? If it's too far, acting alone will only put you in danger. You should give up this idea."
Brandon Jiang replied:
"My hometown is only two thousand miles from here, in a small town under Haiyun City."
"I hope the three Senior Sisters can be accommodating. I'll be back in a few days."
Seeing Brandon Jiang so stubborn, Li Qinxin's face darkened, about to speak when she suddenly seemed to remember something and said uncertainly:
"Wait, Haiyun City?"
"I think I've heard that name before. It seems to be the hometown of a famous Qi Refining Senior Sister. That Senior Sister values Haiyun City a lot. When someone tried to mess with it, she even intervened and caused a fuss with the Foundation Establishment Senior Sister."
"What was that Senior Sister's name..."
"Yan Baobao," Brandon Jiang reminded.
"Oh, right! That's the name."
Li Qinxin finally remembered completely.
Qiu Jing and He Guanyun also recalled the person.
Yan Baobao's reputation was too prominent. Not only was her cultivation at the peak of Qi Refining, but she was also one of the top Qi Refining disciples.
After all, she was the most favored person of Senior Sister Sandra, the Great Perfection Foundation Establishment talisman master.
Recently, Yan Baobao's mysterious disappearance had caused Senior Sister Sandra to make a scene at the Enforcement Hall, further boosting her fame.
Even though Qiu Jing and the others were from a peak far from Purple Lotus Peak, they had heard about it.
They looked at Brandon Jiang in surprise and asked:
"Do you know Yan Baobao?"
Brandon Jiang nodded and said:
"To be honest, Senior Sisters, Sister Yan is my dearest family, like a sister to me!"
"This time, I'm not only visiting my family but also planning to build a memorial for Sister Yan, to give her a resting place."
Brandon Jiang had just mentioned the name of Yan Baobao's hometown.
After assuming the identity of Yan Baobao's sister, he had continuously gathered and inquired about everything related to Yan Baobao, including her hometown and preferences.
The best part was that Yan Baobao's hometown was also on the eastern side of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, allowing him to use the pretext of visiting family to legitimately leave and head to Human Emperor City.
Qiu Jing and the others were shocked to hear about Brandon Jiang's close relationship with Yan Baobao.
Then, Qiu Jing seemed to realize something and murmured:
"I remember hearing that after Senior Sister Yan disappeared, her sister, a new disciple, became the new favorite of Senior Sister Sandra, even overshadowing Dorothy Lin from the Lin Family."
"Could it be that the rumored ruthless... no, the esteemed new disciple is... you?"
Brandon Jiang showed a shy expression:
"After Sister Yan's disappearance, the person closest to Senior Sister Sandra is indeed me."
"Hiss—"
The three of them gasped, their attitudes towards Brandon Jiang immediately changing to one of friendliness.
An ordinary early Qi Refining disciple and an early Qi Refining disciple with a Great Perfection Foundation Establishment backer were worlds apart.
Moreover, Brandon Jiang, as a new disciple, had reached the third level of Qi Refining in just a month or two, indicating good talent and ample resources.
In a few years, Brandon Jiang's cultivation might surpass theirs.
Such a person should definitely not be treated lightly.
Qiu Jing immediately smiled and said:
"Junior Sister Jiang, it's only natural for you to return home to honor your sister. We are not unreasonable. We'll wait for you here for a few days."
Brandon Jiang showed a look of surprise and quickly said:
"Thank you, Senior Sister, for your understanding."
Qiu Jing took out a flying boat from her storage bag and said:
"Although Haiyun City is close, it's still two thousand miles away. Who knows how long it would take you to get there on your own."
"Take this flying boat. The spiritual power furnace inside has enough mortals to fly for thousands of miles!"
Brandon Jiang thanked her repeatedly and accepted the flying boat.
Getting the flying boat was indeed an unexpected joy, saving him travel time to Spirit Wave City.
Then, the three escorted Brandon Jiang to the city outskirts.
Just as Brandon Jiang was about to bid farewell, the four of them suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.
"Boom—"
This immediately put the four on alert, looking towards the source of the sound.
They saw a massive black shadow charging towards them, carrying a terrifying aura.
In an instant, the black shadow drew closer, and the four finally saw its true form.
It was over two meters tall, with a horse-like body and four hooves, stomping heavily on the ground as it approached.
Where a horse's head should be, there was a human upper body with long arms almost reaching the ground.
And where a human head should be, there was a massive horse head, giving off a strong sense of deformity!

But for some reason, this horse-headed human-bodied monster was covered in blood, with some wounds so deep that bones were visible, making its aura very weak.
Qiu Jing and the others were initially shocked, but noticing its severe injuries, they were overjoyed!
"A heavily injured demon! Kill it!"
