The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 95 – Human Path Suppression!
After a tour around the city, both Brandon Jiang and Frank Fan were amazed.
Returning to their residence, before parting ways, Frank Fan excitedly said, "Senior Sister Wang, I've made up my mind. Tomorrow, I'm going to participate in the various jobs in Human Emperor City. Not only can I learn new things, but I can also benefit our companions in the city. Why not?"
Brandon Jiang nodded with a smile.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".
To be honest, he was also tempted. Back in the Heavenly Lotus Sect, learning anything was a matter of life and death—fail and you die, succeed and you face the jealousy of Foundation Establishment senior sisters!
But in Human Emperor City? You could learn whatever you wanted, and no one would blame you for your success or failure.
Gaining an additional skill was akin to securing a foothold in the Cultivation World; no one would find it troublesome.
"But Junior Brother Fan, you should be careful. Don't just focus on alchemy and talisman crafting. Also, keep up with your cultivation. You're not getting any younger; if you don't break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage soon, it might be too late."
Brandon Jiang reminded him.
Frank Fan nodded seriously, his heart surging with emotion, "I've finally found my true home. Of course, I don't want to die so easily!"
"I will break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage! I want to achieve immortality! I want to stay in Human Emperor City forever, protect it, and enlighten the mortals and cultivators who are still suffering outside!"
After saying this, it took him a while to calm down. He scratched his head awkwardly, "I got a bit excited just now and said too much. Sorry, Senior Sister."
"I'll go back to cultivate now and won't disturb you any longer."
Brandon Jiang watched Frank Fan, who was as happy as a child, return to his residence. He couldn't help but smile.
He returned to his room, sat on the bed, and took out his identity token, sensing the breathing techniques within.
This breathing technique wasn't difficult. Brandon Jiang comprehended it thoroughly in about a quarter of an hour.
He sat cross-legged, feeling the Human Path spiritual energy between heaven and earth. With each breath, strands of spiritual energy flowed into his body, guided by Brandon Jiang through cycles within his body, refining into his own spiritual energy.
After one complete cycle, the newly generated spiritual power merged into his dantian, making the river of spiritual power in his dantian even more robust.
The two types of spiritual power blended seamlessly without any conflict.
This indicated that his cultivation had improved!
Without using a sacrificial furnace or relying on the ownerless spiritual energy in his dantian, just by practicing the breathing technique and absorbing the external spiritual energy, his cultivation had improved!
Brandon Jiang opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes!
Yes! This is how it should be!
Why must cultivation involve devouring others?
What he was practicing now was the true path to immortality!
He quickly calmed his mind and resumed his cultivation with fervor.
During his cultivation, he did feel that it was slower than directly refining the ownerless spiritual energy in his body, but it was within an acceptable range.
Moreover, he received a large amount of cultivation resources daily, such as pills that could enhance cultivation speed, vegetables, and spiritual fruits.
With the help of these pills, his cultivation speed was not inferior to when he used Purification Pills.
After several days of continuous cultivation, Brandon Jiang felt that he had made significant progress!

If he continued cultivating like this, it wouldn't be long before he reached the threshold of breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining!
Brandon Jiang temporarily ended his cultivation. The feeling of being able to cultivate freely without fear was addictive.
However, there were still many things in Human Emperor City worth experiencing, and staying home to cultivate all the time seemed like a waste.
He stepped out of his house, and the neighbors greeted him warmly. Brandon Jiang smiled back at each of them, and whenever he saw someone needing help, he would lend a hand, fully integrating into the city's atmosphere of mutual assistance.
After spending a few days in Human Emperor City, Brandon Jiang understood why everyone in the city was so warm and hospitable.
In an environment with no survival or resource crises, no status disparities, and a relaxed pace of life, people's kindness would be infinitely magnified.
"Senior Sister Wang, have you finished cultivating?"
While Brandon Jiang was getting along with the neighbors, Frank Fan returned.
The old man no longer had the tired and stale look he had in the Brotherhood Hall. Instead, his eyes were bright, his complexion rosy, and he looked more energetic than a young man.
Frank Fan was dressed in a snug outfit suitable for work, with sweat on his body, indicating he had just returned from work.
"Junior Brother Fan, how's the work in Human Emperor City?" Brandon Jiang asked with a smile.
Frank Fan replied joyfully, "It's great! Our work is not only easy, but we also learn a lot. Senior Sister, you should try it. If you want to learn artifact crafting, I can teach you!"
Brandon Jiang smiled and asked, "But has your cultivation fallen behind…"
Halfway through his sentence, Brandon Jiang noticed a change in Frank Fan's aura.
This surprised Brandon Jiang, "You've broken through? To the ninth level of Qi Refining!"
Frank Fan nodded proudly, "I was already on the verge of breaking through. After a few days of undisturbed cultivation, I naturally broke through."
Brandon Jiang curiously asked, "Have you tested how much stronger you've become after the breakthrough? I was just about to go to the martial arts field to practice some Daoist arts. Want to come along?"
Frank Fan readily agreed.
In the vast martial arts field, the two stood side by side, facing a large lake.
Brandon Jiang gestured for Frank Fan to make the first move.
Frank Fan didn't decline. He released his aura without restraint, revealing his ninth-level Qi Refining cultivation.
Spiritual power surged around Frank Fan, rushing towards the lake as he performed his most proficient water Daoist art.
Immediately, columns of water shot into the sky, forming massive water tornadoes that connected to the heavens, almost draining the lake.
Overall, it was much stronger than the spiritual power hand of that Foundation Establishment cultivator from before!
But seeing this, Brandon Jiang couldn't help but frown.
He had seen Frank Fan's full power before.
Why did it feel like… he hadn't gotten stronger, but weaker?
Frank Fan also noticed this but quickly remembered something and smiled, "My cultivation has improved, but it seems the Human Path in the city also suppresses me to some extent, preventing me from exerting my full strength."
Brandon Jiang recalled this theory and nodded in understanding.
At the same time, he became curious about how much the Human Path was suppressing him.
With this in mind, he immediately attacked the lake with full force.
Fire Control Technique, Daoist art "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair"!
Combining the two Daoist arts, an orange-red sea of fire suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire lake.
In the next moment, steam rose into the sky, forming large clouds, while the lake water evaporated at an alarming rate.
When Brandon Jiang stopped, only a shallow bottom remained in the lake.
Frank Fan marveled at the scene and praised, "As expected of Senior Sister Wang, your strength hasn't diminished at all since last time. You've even grown stronger. Could it be that your resistance to the Human Path is higher?"
Brandon Jiang just smiled perfunctorily.
Although others didn't know, Brandon Jiang was well aware that he was indeed being suppressed.
Just breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining should have increased the power of his Fire Control Technique significantly, not to mention he had used a lot of demon meat, which should have enhanced his Daoist arts.
Yet, his full power was only this much.
Brandon Jiang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It seemed that the Human Path was also suppressing him. Although he knew it was temporary, experiencing his own weakening firsthand still made him uncomfortable.
However, since everyone was in the same situation, he quickly felt balanced.
