My Fairy Growth System

Inside the east gate of the inner city of Wendao Immortal City.

Yu Qingtan and her three companions had just finished registering when they saw a team of sixteen Golden Core Cultivators walking through the city gate, their faces etched with exhaustion. Stay updated via empire

The group appeared weary, some bearing obvious injuries, even two being carried by others.

The person at the forefront was none other than Qi Xun Fairy of the Qunfang Pavilion.

Yu Qingtan and the four women, along with some other Foundation Establishment Cultivators belonging to the Qunfang Pavilion, hurried forward to greet them.

After Qi Xun Fairy and her companions nodded in response, another Qunfang Pavilion Golden Core went to register their battle results.

Each sect found its own place to rest and recover.

Shui Qingrou took out a small, house-shaped Spiritual Artifact, which upon activation with Spiritual Power, expanded into a house of normal size, then summoned everyone from Tianxiang Valley to enter.

Zixin had incurred severe injuries earlier and had already returned to the Pavilion of Listening Waves to recuperate.

Neutral faction disciples Lin Fengmian, Luo Chen, and Jing Ke formed a team to take on the sweeping task and were lucky enough not to encounter any formidable enemies. They were also resting within the city at this time.

Luo Ren and Yan Shu had been healing themselves on the spot near the city gate since their return.

Inside the Spiritual Artifact house, everyone took their seats, and Shui Qingrou scanned her eyes across the group.

"I deeply regret the unfortunate passing of my niece disciple Ou Lu. However, the path of cultivation is fraught with adversity. I hope everyone will encourage one another.

"Rou Jia’s disciple Qing Tan, young and promising, with her Foundation Establishment cultivation level, annihilated three Third Stage early-phase Sea Clansmen and more than eight hundred Second Stage Sea Clansmen. The count of First Stage Sea Clan is innumerable. She coordinated with Su Qin Fairy of the Wendao Sect to slay a late-phase Third Stage Canglong, saving Real Person Cang Lei of the Wendao Sect.

"Such feats of valor make me feel inadequate. I hope everyone will learn from and seek counsel from Qing Tan."

Real Person Youzhi and Shui Qingrou had already tone-transmitted a report to Shui Qingrou about Yu Qingtan’s team, and she was quite astonished.

Luo Ren, Yan Shu, Lin Fengmian, Luo Chen, and Jing Ke all turned their gazes toward Yu Qingtan upon hearing this.

"This beautiful young girl is actually such a formidable force!"

This gap could no longer be attributed to envy.

Xiang Yiyi wore an expression of shared pride, while Yan Xi also inexplicably felt a sense of pride.

"Qing Tan, you’ve done very well. Before you came, it was said that those who perform excellently and bolster the renown of Tianxiang Valley will be rewarded. What would you like?"

Shui Qingrou smiled at Yu Qingtan, envious in her heart that her senior sister Rou Jia was not present yet had acquired such an excellent disciple.

"I heard that the Valley Master still has a Third Stage Spiritual Fire? Qing Tan has a treasure that needs nurturing by a Third Stage, even Fourth Stage, Spiritual Fire."

Yu Qingtan didn’t hesitate.

"Alright, this Spiritual Fire is yours, and in the future, I will also help you look out for high-stage Spiritual Fires."

The fact that Yu Qingtan, who mainly practiced water system Spells and Cultivation Techniques, was refining a fire-type treasure did not surprise anyone.

It’s likely an Ancient Treasure, primarily driven by Spirit Stones.

"The performance of the others was also acceptable, but Luo Ren fled during battle. Although it was due to the situation at hand, it was still inappropriate. Considering your severe injuries, you will not be punished, but you should reflect on your actions."

"Thank you for your guidance, Valley Master!"

"This time, our twenty-three Golden Core Cultivators, led by Qi Xun Fairy, faced off against ninety Third Stage Sea Clan members. Qi Xun Fairy used her Lifebound Magical Treasure and laid out the Luoluo Heavenly Battle Formation, employing a divide-and-conquer strategy. We slain thirty-six Sea Clan members, and the remaining were severely injured and fled.

"Yet, we still lost one of our own, two’s physical bodies were destroyed, four were seriously injured, and the others were also wounded.

"Mainly in the end, a late-phase Fourth Stage Sea Clan member launched a sneak attack on us. We almost faced total annihilation and paid a heavy price to block that single strike."

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Master Yun Phoenix of the Qunfang Pavilion arrived, and we were able to avoid disaster. Other Nascent Soul cultivators who were supposed to attend the ceremony arrived one after another, which significantly improved our situation."

Shui Qingrou, a True Person of cultivation, volunteered to recount the details of their battle, which filled Yu Qingtan and the others with shock and alarm.

The peril of a Fourth Stage ambush on a Third Stage could well be imagined.

"Alright, everyone should go rest now. We’ll have to join the battle later."

Shui Qingrou said, waving her hand to create many small compartments within the room.

Yu Qingtan entered one of them, laid down a simple warning formation, and took out the Nine Python Profound Fire Cover and the newly acquired Third Stage Spiritual Fire to begin refining.

An hour later.

Excluding the severely wounded who were no longer able to fight, the rest received orders from Fairy Qi Xun to continue the battle.

As usual, Yu Qingtan set off from the east gate with Shui Qingrou, Xiang Yiyi, and Yan Xi on a new mission.

A short while later, Yu Qingtan sensed a sudden warning in her heart and without hesitation, took out the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield to guard below her.

"Bang~"

The Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield, bearing Yu Qingtan, shot straight upwards; crashing against Yu Qingtan’s body, her legs snapped instantly. She bent over forcibly to prevent the broken bones from piercing her abdomen.

But the great force shattered her internal organs, blood flowed from her seven orifices, and nearly half of her meridians broke. A buzzing sounded in her head, and this blow nearly cost her half her life. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

A dent appeared on the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield.

Without a second’s hesitation, Yu Qingtan used Shi Kuang’s "Love’s Protection," which immediately healed most of the damage to her meridians. She frantically circulated the Rejuvenation Spell and the Decay and Flourish Technique to recover from her injuries.

At the same time, she infused her Golden Core Stage spiritual power into the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield, forming a cyan protective shield around her.

Because the second blow from the assailant had already arrived, this time Yu Qingtan saw it clearly – a pitch-black Third Stage medium-grade conical Magical Treasure.

"Bang~"

The conical Magical Treasure struck the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield again.

This time, powered by Yu Qingtan’s Golden Core Stage spiritual power, the conical Magical Treasure only left a mark on the shield, but the attached tremendous force sent Yu Qingtan flying upwards again.

At this moment, the attacker revealed himself – a black-robed old man with a sinister face, white and black hair, dry and wrinkled skin, looking as if he was at death’s door, yet emitting the fluctuations of mid-Golden Core Stage spiritual power.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye; Shui Qingrou, Xiang Yiyi, and Yan Xi had only just reacted. Shui Qingrou quickly reeled in the two women and retreated at high speed, heading back towards the eastern city gate.

Shui Qingrou recognized this person: Dark Cone, a killer from Misty Rain Tower, a prominent figure on the wanted list, elusive and highly skilled.

If the three of them were targeted by this person, even with Ancient Treasures and Charm Treasures on their person, they would not escape death.

Determined, Shui Qingrou trusted in Yu Qingtan’s strength. Fleeing was the best strategy, as staying could potentially become a hindrance to Yu Qingtan.

Xiang Yiyi and Yan Xi understood the reasoning; although worried, they didn’t rashly go forward to help but instead followed suit and fled.

Dark Cone paid them no attention and continued attacking Yu Qingtan with his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Shadow Awl. At the same time, he formed hand seals, and suddenly the area around Yu Qingtan darkened completely, losing sight and divine sense perception, her consciousness beginning to feel drowsy.

A Third Stage dark and soul system spell, "Darkness Without Sunlight."

Her Sea of Consciousness came under attack, and mysterious fluctuations stirred within the depths of her consciousness. The system acted, and Yu Qingtan regained clarity.

However, in that brief moment of absent-mindedness, Yu Qingtan’s control of the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield momentarily ceased, and the Shadow Awl took advantage to bypass the front of the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield, striking directly at the back of Yu Qingtan’s head.

In the nick of time, the Canglan Umbrella unfolded above her, safeguarding Yu Qingtan’s head.

But the Shadow Awl took a sinister turn, changing direction to move diagonally downwards. Yu Qingtan had no time to adjust the Canglan Umbrella or the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield, and the Shadow Awl stabbed straight into her back, piercing out between her chest and abdomen.
