The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 51 – A glimmer of hope!

Thinking of this, Brandon Jiang's heart grew heavier. This was simply a dead end.

However, on the surface, Brandon Jiang remained calm. He opened his hand and counted the number of Qi Gathering Pills, shaking his head, "Senior Sister Patricia, you've given enough Purification Pills, but are you sure these Qi Gathering Pills are enough for a week?"

Patricia Qing glanced at Brandon Jiang contemptuously, "Brandon, it seems you haven't used good stuff before. Do you know that Qi Gathering Pills are also divided into three grades and nine levels?"

"The ones sold in the Cultivation Hall are the lowest grade, made from extracting the life force and fortune of fifty mortals, with limited medicinal power."

"The Qi Gathering Pills I gave you are five in total, each made from the life force of a thousand mortals, enough to burst your stomach."

Brandon Jiang's heart tightened. A Qi Gathering Pill made from a thousand mortals' life force must have astonishing medicinal power.

At this moment, another thought suddenly arose in Brandon Jiang's mind. He asked, "I've always had a question. Qi Gathering Pills are pills that gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but directly extracting the life force and fortune of mortals can achieve the same effect. So, what's the use of Qi Gathering Pills?"

Patricia Qing didn't hold back and casually explained, "Qi Gathering Pills can be seen as portable mortals. Take a Qi Gathering Pill made from a thousand mortals as an example. Its overall effect is slightly inferior to directly using mortals as a sacrificial furnace, but after consumption, it can directly gather the total amount of spiritual energy close to it into the dantian."

"In this way, whether in places with thin spiritual energy or places where mortals cannot be found as sacrificial furnaces, one can still cultivate and recover without being affected."

Brandon Jiang nodded, feeling a bit excited.

His dantian still had plenty of spiritual energy reserves, so he didn't need the Qi Gathering Pills.

But if the effect of Qi Gathering Pills was basically the same as that of mortals, then these Qi Gathering Pills could be given to Chu Jun.

Five Qi Gathering Pills made from a thousand mortals might not compare to five thousand mortals, but they would definitely be more than enough compared to four thousand mortals!

In this way, Chu Jun's recovery and breakthrough to Foundation Establishment could be greatly accelerated.

Brandon Jiang sighed inwardly. Blessings and misfortunes are intertwined. While his life was controlled by others, his cultivation resources were also abundant.

However, as long as the Heartbreak Pill's poison remained, no matter how high his cultivation, it would be useless.

He sighed lightly and said, "I'll try when Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix refines the Dragon Thunder Talisman again. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

"Wait."

Patricia Qing stopped Brandon Jiang and tossed over a jade slip, "This contains a Daoist art for concealing your true cultivation. It can deceive even those at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, like Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix."

"When your cultivation improves, remember to use this method to hide it and avoid being noticed."

"Then, you may go."

Brandon Jiang played with the jade slip in his hand, "You've prepared well."

With that, he turned and left Patricia Qing's residence, returning to Green Leaf Peak.

Along the way, Brandon Jiang didn't sense anyone monitoring him. Perhaps it was because he wasn't capable enough to notice, but he was quite confident that Patricia Qing hadn't sent anyone to monitor him.

He was already under the control of the Heartbreak Pill, so Patricia Qing was very assured of him. Moreover, sending someone to monitor him would mean revealing her secret to others. With her suspicious and cautious nature, the fewer people who knew such secrets, the better.

However, to be cautious, Brandon Jiang didn't make any unusual moves. When he passed by Chu Jun's residence, he saw Chu Jun already waiting for him in the courtyard.

They had previously agreed that he would come to take the storage bag and the Daoist art "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair."

But Brandon Jiang still walked past Chu Jun's residence without looking sideways.

Chu Jun wasn't a fool. She immediately realized that Brandon Jiang might be under surveillance and didn't dare to greet him. She used various detection methods to check all areas around Brandon Jiang.

After a long time, she confirmed that no one was indeed following or monitoring, and then she contacted Brandon Jiang.

Soon, Brandon Jiang returned and slipped into Chu Jun's residence.

Chu Jun asked worriedly, "I saw you being taken away by Patricia Qing's child earlier. What happened?"

Brandon Jiang's face was gloomy as he whispered, "I've been poisoned by the Heartbreak Pill!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jun's eyes widened in shock, "How could this be? Aren't you on good terms with Senior Sister Patricia? Why would she do this to you?"

Brandon Jiang smiled bitterly and recounted the whole story to Chu Jun.

After finishing, he handed the five Qi Gathering Pills made from a thousand mortals to Chu Jun, "No matter what, Patricia Qing is providing me with all kinds of resources now. I don't need these Qi Gathering Pills, but they should help you recover. Take them."

Seeing this, Chu Jun didn't take the Qi Gathering Pills but instead tightly grasped Brandon Jiang's hand, tears welling up in her eyes, "Brandon, how can you be so foolish? At a time like this, you're still worried about my injuries!"

"The Heartbreak Pill is a Foundation Establishment level poison, extremely valuable and equally terrifying in toxicity. Moreover, the antidote varies with different alchemists. It's an incurable poison!"

Brandon Jiang smiled, "I know all that, which is why I came to you. Senior Sister Chu, you were taught by Patricia Qing. Can you figure out the antidote I need?"

He added nonchalantly, "If you can't, it means I'm beyond saving, so there's no need to worry."

"If you can, then there's even less to worry about."

Hearing Brandon Jiang's playful words, Chu Jun was both angry and amused. However, she calmed down and seriously analyzed, "You're right. My alchemy skills were all taught by Patricia Qing. I know everything about her. If given enough time and if I can analyze the properties of the Heartbreak Pill in your body, I might be able to deduce the unique antidote."

Brandon Jiang's eyes lit up slightly.

He had come to Chu Jun with a try-and-see attitude, not expecting there to be a way!

But then, Chu Jun poured a bucket of cold water on his hopes, "However, whether or not I can figure out the antidote, the Heartbreak Pill is a Foundation Establishment level pill, and so is the antidote."

"To refine the antidote, I first need to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"

Brandon Jiang's heart sank again.

So, he would have to be under Patricia Qing's control for a long time.

But no matter what, he now had a glimmer of hope!

His eyes gradually became resolute as he solemnly said, "Alright! Then let's show that old witch our Foundation Establishment!"
