The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 88 – Breakthrough to the sixth level of Qi Refining! Confounding Heart Daoist Arts!
Half an hour later, at the entrance of the quiet room, a massive boulder firmly blocked the path.
But in the next instant, a flash of sword light sliced through, shattering the stone and stirring up a cloud of dust. Three figures emerged from within.
It was Brandon Jiang, Frank Fan, and the captured Demon Claw.
Frank Fan bowed sincerely to Brandon Jiang, saying, "Thank you, Daoist Wang, for your assistance. Without you, I would never have seen the light of day again."
In this battle with the Blood Demon Trio, Frank Fan deeply realized the formidable strength of Wang Chujian.
Though he appeared to be only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, his actual combat power was close to the eighth level.
Faced with such a powerful figure, how could he dare to address him as a junior? Naturally, he treated him as an equal.
As for the distribution of the spoils from this battle?
Wang Chujian had taken more than seventy percent of the credit for slaying the three demons and had indirectly saved his life. He naturally wouldn't contest it.
Brandon Jiang waved his hand with a smile, "Old Hall Master, there's no need for such formalities. Those three demons committed many atrocities; it's only right that everyone should want to eliminate them."
He lifted the Demon Claw in his hand and said solemnly, "I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. Old Hall Master, you can go ahead and reorganize the Brotherhood Hall. Once I'm done, I have important matters to discuss with you!"
Frank Fan nodded quickly. Although he was curious about the "important matters" Brandon Jiang mentioned, he didn't ask further.
Brandon Jiang took the Demon Claw back to his residence, tossed him aside, and sat cross-legged, preparing to break through.
Seeing himself thrown aside like a piece of cargo, the Demon Claw didn't feel relieved; instead, he grew even more nervous and couldn't help but shout sternly, "Wang Chujian! What are you planning to do? If you're going to kill me, do it quickly!"
Brandon Jiang glanced at the Demon Claw and said calmly, "Don't worry, I'll fulfill your request soon."
At that moment, Brandon Jiang suddenly had an idea.
Every time he broke through, he experienced strange hallucinations that only subsided after consuming a cultivator with higher cultivation than his own.
So, did the cultivator have to be alive? Could a dead one work?
Thinking of this, Brandon Jiang took out the corpses of Demon Heart and Demon Eye and threw them to the other side of the courtyard, preparing for an experiment later.
Then, Brandon Jiang took out a Purification Pill, swallowed it, and the ownerless spiritual energy in his dantian quickly dissipated, being rapidly absorbed by him.

The ownerless spiritual energy in his dantian had already shrunk to a third of its maximum size due to continuous cultivation and use.
The spiritual energy required for this breakthrough was also considerable, and it might consume all of it in one go.
Even with the Demon Claw as a supplement, the ownerless spiritual energy obtained might not be enough.
If the strange hallucination during the breakthrough could consume more cultivators and convert them into ownerless spiritual energy for him, that would be ideal.
Seeing Brandon Jiang swallow the Purification Pill, the Demon Claw's pupils contracted sharply!
"This... this is a Purification Pill!"
"Such a precious item, how could a rogue cultivator like you possess it! No! You can't be a rogue cultivator. Who exactly are you, and what is your purpose in coming to the Brotherhood Hall?!"
Brandon Jiang ignored him and quietly focused on breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Several hours later, near dusk, Brandon Jiang's aura suddenly changed, rising rapidly, revealing the cultivation of the sixth level of Qi Refining!
He had broken through!
Seeing this, the Demon Claw's heart sank, and an immense fear surged within him.
His intuition told him that he was going to die.
But what puzzled him was how exactly he would die.
Even though Wang Chujian had now broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, his cultivation was still one small realm below his own!
It was an iron rule in the Cultivation World that a cultivator couldn't devour the power and fortune of another cultivator with higher cultivation. What exactly was Wang Chujian planning to do to him?
While the Demon Claw was still confused, Brandon Jiang slowly opened his eyes. However, he didn't look at the Demon Claw first but instead turned his gaze to the corpses of Demon Heart and Demon Eye.
He looked for a long time but saw no hallucinations.
Brandon Jiang shook his head helplessly. It seemed the hallucinations didn't consume corpses. From now on, he would have to capture live ones for every breakthrough.
"So hard to please," Brandon Jiang couldn't help but mutter. He put away the two corpses and looked at the Demon Claw.
Immediately, countless human faces appeared on the Demon Claw's body.
Brandon Jiang was already used to this. After confirming the hallucination, he turned and left his residence, wandering outside for a while before returning.
By then, the courtyard was empty, and the Demon Claw had vanished without a trace.
Brandon Jiang checked the changes in his dantian. The nearly exhausted ownerless spiritual energy had risen again.
However, the amount wasn't much, just enough for a week's cultivation or a few high-intensity battles.
But thinking that he could soon head to Human Emperor City, Brandon Jiang wasn't too worried about the lack of spiritual energy.
After all, according to Benjamin Qiao, once he learned the techniques of Human Emperor City, he wouldn't need to absorb others' power and fortune to cultivate.
He consolidated his cultivation and didn't rush to find Frank Fan. Instead, he began to inventory the spoils from this battle.
First, he had broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining thanks to the Demon Claw. Then, there were two valuable sacrificial furnaces at the seventh level of Qi Refining and the three storage bags.
In these three storage bags, there were a large number of mortals and sacrificial furnaces, even relics of disciples from major sects like the Righteous Alliance.
Besides that, there were their individual legacies.
Brandon Jiang wasn't interested in the legacies of Demon Claw and Demon Eye. Their methods were based on physical modifications, which, though powerful now, would hinder future progress as their cultivation increased.
But the legacy obtained by Demon Heart was evidently superior to the other two. It required no physical modifications and was quite powerful.
Brandon Jiang took out an ancient jade slip from Demon Heart's storage bag and examined it carefully.
It turned out that Demon Heart's method was called "Bewitching Heart," a Qi Refining level Daoist art of the musical path.
Its origins were unclear, but its effects were quite astonishing.
First, as the name suggested, the primary function of the Bewitching Heart Daoist art was to bewitch the heart, influencing thoughts, judgments, and even perceptions of a person.
Using sound waves for attack was a lesser application, indicating that Demon Heart hadn't mastered the art.
If the Bewitching Heart Daoist art were cultivated to its peak, it could bewitch any cultivator not exceeding one's own major realm, making it easy to turn enemies into friends or cause them to kill each other.
The true effects and power of the Bewitching Heart Daoist art left Brandon Jiang somewhat shocked!
He had seen many high-level Daoist arts, but in his opinion, most couldn't compare to the Bewitching Heart Daoist art.
This Daoist art was at least on par with the "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair" Daoist art!
Moreover, its effects were very suitable for Brandon Jiang.
Having survived in the Cultivation World for so long, he relied heavily on his eloquence. The Bewitching Heart Daoist art would be a great addition to his skills!
But then, upon seeing the cultivation requirements for the Bewitching Heart Daoist art, Brandon Jiang's brow furrowed deeply.
"To cultivate the Bewitching Heart Daoist art, one must have the Bewitching Heart Pill as an aid? Otherwise... the effect is less than ten percent of the original."
"And the sacrificial furnace for refining the Bewitching Heart Pill is... the heart of a cultivator with a confused Daoist Heart?!"
