Brandon Jiang felt increasingly overwheld as he read through the cultivation requirents.
To fully master the Bewitching Heart Pill, he needed to refine nine different types of Bewitching Heart Pills and consu them in sequence.
The main ingredients for these nine types of Bewitching Heart Pills required the power and Fortune from the hearts of cultivators at each level of Qi Refining, starting from the first level and going up to the ninth level.
Moreover, the owners of these hearts had to have been cultivators whose Daoist Hearts were in disarray.
Only by consuming all nine types of Bewitching Heart Pills from low to high could one truly master the Bewitching Heart Daoist Arts.
In other words, to master this Daoist Art, one would have to kill cultivators at all stages of Qi Refining, extract the power and Fortune from their hearts, and refine them into pills. No wonder Demon Heart never fully mastered the Bewitching Heart Daoist Arts.
As a lowly demonic cultivator with no power or influence, where could he find such precious resources?
Even if he managed to obtain one or two hearts from cultivators with disarrayed Daoist Hearts, he wouldn't be able to refine them into Bewitching Heart Pills due to his lack of alchemy skills.
This difficulty in cultivation made the Bewitching Heart Daoist Arts, which could be considered top-tier among Qi Refining level arts, not much different from the lower-tier legacies of Demon Claw and Demon Eye.
Even though Brandon Jiang was wealthier than Demon Heart, he had no confidence in gathering the nine main ingredients for the Bewitching Heart Pills.
Especially the requirent for a disarrayed Daoist Heart—it was too vague. Who could tell which cultivators had disarrayed Daoist Hearts and which did not?
Moreover, he was about to head to Human Emperor City, where he wouldn't be able to kill people at will. The cultivation of the Bewitching Heart Daoist Arts would have to be put on hold.
Brandon Jiang put away the Bewitching Heart Daoist Arts and noticed that it was already late at night.
He decided not to disturb Frank Fan at this hour and waited until the next morning for a formal visit.
Frank Fan warmly welcod Brandon Jiang in his reception room. After dismissing everyone else, he solemnly asked:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, you ntioned yesterday that you had sothing important to discuss. What is it? If I can help, I certainly will!"
Brandon Jiang didn't beat around the bush and smiled:
"Old Hall Master, I know of a place where one can cultivate without absorbing others' power and Fortune, and where alchemy and artifact refining don't require using people as sacrificial furnaces."
"I'm planning to go there and ca to invite you to join ."
Frank Fan was taken aback but then shook his head with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, the place you ntioned sounds tempting, but I've been wandering the Cultivation World for over a hundred years and have never heard of such a place."
"For over a hundred years, I've been trying to find a way to cultivate without devouring others' power, but I've never succeeded!"
"This world thrives on killing; all beings can only grow by slaughtering others. This is the rule of the world, and no one can change it."
"Fellow Daoist Wang, you might have been deceived by soone. Be cautious and discerning."
Brandon Jiang replied:
"Your concerns are valid, Old Hall Master. That place is indeed mysterious, and I have never experienced it myself, so I can't confirm its authenticity."
"But... what if it's real?"
"I have interacted with a cultivator from there. His cultivation thod is entirely different from ours, like two completely different schools of thought. If it weren't true, how could he have made it up?"
With that, Brandon Jiang shared with Frank Fan all the information he had learned from Benjamin Qiao about Human Emperor City and the cultivation thods of its cultivators.
At first, Frank Fan was skeptical, but as Brandon Jiang's account beca more detailed and convincing, his expression grew serious.
Although Brandon Jiang didn't explicitly say it was Human Emperor City, Frank Fan couldn't help but feel a longing for it.
The ideals of Human Emperor City resonated perfectly with the principles he had upheld for 160 years!
It seed as if that place was tailor-made for him, like a long-lost holand he had never seen.
When Brandon Jiang finished, Frank Fan's aged body trembled slightly, his eyes reddened, and he asked in a trembling voice:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, is everything you said true? Is there really such a wonderful place in this world?"
Brandon Jiang solemnly replied:
"I've said, I haven't been there myself and can't promise anything. But if you're willing, we can explore it together."
Find the original at " ".
Frank Fan was greatly tempted but hesitated:
"I naturally want to see such a place, but I still have the Brotherhood Hall to protect. If I just leave, I'm worried..."
Before Frank Fan could finish, Brandon Jiang shook his head:
"Old Hall Master, if I hadn't appeared, you would have already sacrificed your life for the Brotherhood Hall."
"You've already died once. Why not use this new life to live for yourself?"
"Moreover, even if not for yourself, you should go there for the sake of the Brotherhood Hall."
"Think about it. With your current managent thods, no matter how well you manage the Brotherhood Hall, can you stop the mbers from devouring others? It's treating the symptoms, not the cause!"
"If you can learn a way to cultivate without devouring others' power, you can teach it to the mbers when you return. Only then can you truly save them, right?"
Listening to Brandon Jiang's persuasion, Frank Fan's hesitant expression gradually turned resolute, and his eyes grew brighter.
After a mont, he nodded heavily:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, you're right. My current way of protecting the Brotherhood Hall and Spirit Wave City is only treating the symptoms, not the cause!"
"Only by completely changing their cultivation thods can I save those who have gone astray and the Cultivation World that has lost its way."
He then looked at Brandon Jiang and sincerely asked:
"Where exactly is that place, and how do we get there?"
Brandon Jiang smiled:
"Don't worry, Old Hall Master. There's soone from that place right here in Spirit Wave City. If you want, I can take you to et her now."
"Great! That's wonderful!"
Frank Fan was pleasantly surprised and quickly said:
"I'll go gather the mbers and arrange the hall's affairs. It should take one or two hours at most. Please wait a mont, Fellow Daoist Wang."
Brandon Jiang nodded and suddenly thought of sothing:
"By the way, Old Hall Master, before we leave, I'd like to check so docunts in your Brotherhood Hall's library."
Frank Fan readily agreed:
"That's no problem. Here's the key to the library. Feel free to browse and take any book you like."
With that, he tossed a key to Brandon Jiang and left in a hurry.
Brandon Jiang headed to the library.
He had wanted to visit the Brotherhood Hall's library for a long ti, but the key had always been in Frank Fan's possession, and he hadn't found an opportunity until now.
The docunts he wanted to find were related to the consumption thods of demonic at.
The Brotherhood Hall had been established for decades, so there might be relevant content in their collection.
After so searching in the library, Brandon Jiang finally found what he was looking for in an ancient book titled "Records of Demons."
This book described the appearances, habits, and racial talents of many common demon clans and also detailed the effects of humans consuming demonic at.
The book clearly stated that the restrictions on humans using the power of other races were much smaller than using the power of their own race. As long as the sacrificial furnace's level didn't exceed their own by a major realm, there was no risk of their bodies exploding!
Additionally, Brandon Jiang learned from the book that using the power of other races couldn't enhance all levels of Daoist Arts.
For example, absorbing spiritual energy from demonic at at the Qi Refining stage could only enhance the power of Qi Refining level Daoist Arts and had no effect on Foundation Establishnt level Daoist Arts.
To enhance Foundation Establishnt level Daoist Arts, one had to use the power of demons at the Foundation Establishnt stage.
This made sense. If cultivators could indiscriminately use demonic at to greatly increase the power of their Daoist Arts, wouldn't those at the Elental Infant and Divine Transformation stages beco invincible by using millions of low-level demons?
However, while Qi Refining stage demonic power could only enhance Qi Refining level Daoist Arts, it didn't an that the enhancent would be lost after a cultivator broke through to the Foundation Establishnt stage.
If a cultivator's Daoist Arts at the Qi Refining stage were twice as powerful as other Qi Refining cultivators, then after reaching the Foundation Establishnt stage, their Qi Refining Daoist Arts would still be twice as powerful as those of other Foundation Establishnt cultivators using the sa Daoist Arts.
This ant that in so cases, certain Qi Refining Daoist Arts could be more terrifying in the hands of so Foundation Establishnt cultivators than typical Foundation Establishnt Daoist Arts!
Of course, using Foundation Establishnt stage demonic blood and flesh would result in a much higher upper limit for the enhanced Foundation Establishnt Daoist Arts compared to Qi Refining level Daoist Arts.
