Patricia Qing's two young disciples were blocking his door!
Could it be that his connection with Chu Jun had been discovered?
No, impossible. If he had really been discovered, it wouldn't be just these two disciples at his door; Patricia herself would be here.
Maybe Patricia needed sothing from him. He couldn't afford to lose his composure.
Brandon Jiang forced himself to stay calm and approached the two disciples.
Before he could speak, the two disciples said:
"Brandon Jiang, our master wants to see you."
"Co with us."
"Alright."
Brandon nodded, cautiously probing:
"Senior Sisters, do you know why Senior Sister Patricia wants to see ?"
"You'll find out when you get there. You're in her good graces now; do you think she'd harm you?"
In the end, Brandon couldn't get any more information. With a heart full of trepidation, he followed them to the grand hall where Patricia resided.
As soon as he entered, Patricia greeted him with a smile:
"Brandon, you didn't disappoint . In just a few days, you've managed to suppress Dorothy Lin to this extent."
"I t Liu Yuexian, who backs Dorothy Lin, today. Her face was quite a sight!"
Seeing Patricia in a good mood, Brandon felt slightly relieved and respectfully said:
"It was a stroke of luck. If Dorothy hadn't shown a flaw, I wouldn't have been able to bring her down so quickly."
"But this morning's ambush by those four mid-level Qi Refining cultivators was indeed dangerous. If anything had gone wrong, I wouldn't be here to see you."
Brandon deliberately emphasized the dangers he had faced, knowing Patricia's character well enough to expect so comfort and reward from her.
However, things didn't go as Brandon had expected.
Patricia's expression turned sowhat impatient as she said:
"Junior Sister Brandon, I know you've done well, but I called you here for another important matter."
Brandon's heart tightened. He knew Patricia wouldn't summon him just to praise him; there had to be sothing else.
But outwardly, he remained respectful:
"Please instruct , Senior Sister."
Patricia waved her hand, and the half-open hall doors closed completely. In the now private hall, Patricia solemnly said:
"I'm on the verge of a breakthrough to the sixth level of Foundation Establishnt."
"But I lack the confidence for this breakthrough, as I haven't gathered all the precious cultivation resources I need."
"After much thought, I realized my only option is to use a large number of Qi Refining cultivators with the sa fate as mine to substitute for all the missing resources."
"However, my fate is quite rare, and finding cultivators with the sa fate is extrely difficult."
"The sa fate?"
Brandon frowned slightly and cautiously asked:
"Senior Sister Patricia, what is your fate?"
"Dragon Thunder Fate."
Patricia replied.
Brandon's heart sank. He rembered that there were quite a few Qi Refining cultivators with Dragon Thunder Fate on Purple Lotus Peak.
Given Patricia's urgent need for such cultivators, he had a hunch about what she wanted him to do.
Sure enough, Patricia continued:
"Junior Sister Brandon, I rember Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix refined a Dragon Thunder True Talisman yesterday, and you were responsible for making the 'Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand'."
"This 'Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand' is made by refining the power and fortune of Dragon Thunder Fate cultivators into Thunder Stones, and it's exactly what I need!"
"I hope you can get so for from Purple Lotus Peak."
Brandon's face changed slightly. Seeing Patricia's bloodshot eyes filled with urgency, he felt a chill down his spine.
This woman was insane!
To break through, she was targeting Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's property!
Even the most audacious disciples would only dare to steal defective products, not finished ones.
The finished 'Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand' was a Foundation Establishnt-level talisman material, incredibly valuable!
If caught stealing, he would face the harshest tortures on Purple Lotus Peak, dying a slow and painful death!
Even as a favored disciple of Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, he wouldn't be spared!
Patricia was asking him to risk his life!
Brandon gritted his teeth and, risking Patricia's wrath, shook his head:
"Please reconsider, Senior Sister. I truly cannot do this..."
However, Patricia rely sneered:
"Junior Sister, are you really so naive to think you have a choice after hearing all this?"
"Do you know why I've been so intent on getting close to Sandra Ye? It's for the large number of Dragon Thunder Fate cultivators she controls!"
"But ti is running out. I'm on the verge of a breakthrough and must take a risk."
"You will take on the task of stealing the 'Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand', whether you want to or not!"
With that, Patricia took out a pill of a ghastly green color and placed it in front of Brandon:
"Swallow this pill. Once you do, you won't have any second thoughts and will obediently do as you're told."
Brandon looked at the pill, which didn't look like anything good.
His heart sank further, filled with regret.
After getting close to Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, he should have severed ties with Patricia completely.
But he had been greedy for the benefits he could gain from Patricia, and now he was paying the price.
Patricia, the venomous snake, had bared her fangs, and once bitten, he wouldn't have a chance to resist.
But who could have predicted Patricia would turn on him so suddenly?
His task had been to get close to Sandra Ye, and he had done it perfectly. Who could have foreseen Patricia would change her mind and give him a suicidal mission?
But it was too late for regrets. Brandon gritted his teeth and asked:
"What does this pill do?"
Patricia smiled faintly:
"This is the Heartbreak Pill, one of the top-ranked poisons at the Foundation Establishnt level, affecting both the body and the soul."
"Once the poison activates, even a Foundation Establishnt cultivator would suffer heart failure and soul destruction."
"But don't worry, Junior Sister. I have the antidote. As long as you take it regularly, you'll be fine."
Brandon sighed deeply. To control him, Patricia had resorted to using a Foundation Establishnt-level poison. There was no escaping this fate today.
Knowing he couldn't escape, Brandon didn't hesitate. He took the Heartbreak Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
The pill dissolved instantly, turning into a cold stream that rushed to his heart.
In an instant, Brandon felt his heart and all his veins enveloped in a bone-chilling cold, invading every part.
The next mont, an intense pain struck. Brandon's face contorted in agony as he clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground.
Thud—
On the cold floor, Brandon trembled in pain, his face twisted in tornt.
This pain was worse than when he swallowed the Qi Gathering Pill from the Villain of the Blood Sea! Not only was his heart in agony, but his soul was also being tortured, as if being sliced by a thousand blades!
Just as Brandon was about to faint from the pain, a white pill suddenly fell in front of him.
"Do you feel it? This is the pain of the Heartbreak Pill's poison. Swallow this pill; it will delay the poison for a week."
In his agony, Brandon didn't care about anything else. He grabbed the white pill and swallowed it.
Soon, the intense pain receded like a tide, and Brandon's body gradually relaxed.
But in his heart, the cold and chill remained, clinging to him like a parasite.
Before Brandon could get up, a dozen pills suddenly fell in front of him.
Half were Qi Gathering Pills, and the other half were Purification Pills.
Patricia's voice rang out again:
"The antidote to the Heartbreak Pill's poison is unique to . No one else can help you."
"And if I sense any sign of rebellion, a single thought will activate the poison, and not even the gods can save you!"
"Having taken the Heartbreak Pill, you should give up any hope."
"But if you work for , I won't treat you poorly. Take these Qi Gathering and Purification Pills and consu them within a week. Your cultivation must reach the third level of Qi Refining!"
