My Fairy Growth System

In the Yunhua Mountain Range, within a secluded valley.

Xiao Tao was fighting a pack of Carapace Wolves while Yu Qingtan provided support and finished off any stragglers.

With the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm event over, she planned to return to Tianxiang Valley and enter seclusion to cultivate until reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment.

She had accepted the Slaughter Demon Order and needed to complete the demon-slaying tasks to break through, so she ventured into the Yunhua Mountain Range before going back.

An hour later, the pack of over two hundred Carapace Wolves had all fallen prey to Yu Qingtan.

This was the result of Xiao Tao's wish to train his practical experience in battle; otherwise, Yu Qingtan could have taken them down in a matter of minutes.

Having met the requirements of the Slaughter Demon Order, Yu Qingtan put away Xiao Tao and headed toward Tianxiang Immortal City.

She encountered many conflicts along the way but avoided them all.

Cultivators coming out of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm would be randomly teleported to somewhere within twenty thousand li of the realm's emergence point, a very wide range that made it difficult to be ambushed.

However, there were still many rogue cultivators, demon cultivators, and members of the Demon Race hunting in the vicinity, as those coming from the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm were generally seen as easy prey.

As Yu Qingtan traveled underground, she sensed intense battle fluctuations from the front and above, notably there were the waves of a Golden Core Cultivator's spiritual power, and among them was a familiar energy.

She stealthily approached the area.

In the sky not far away, Fang Ling was engaged in a battle with a man in a red robe.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

On the ground, Jiang Yueli from the Star Moon Sect was sitting against a large tree with a weary expression and tense demeanor, watching the fight above.

It turns out that as soon as Jiang Yueli had left the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, she was ruthlessly ambushed by an early Golden Core Cultivator. She couldn't use any of her trump cards in time and was seriously injured.

This was after she revealed her identity as a disciple of the Star Moon Sect, which caused her attacker not to strike a deadly blow.

Just as the Golden Core Cultivator was about to capture Jiang Yueli, Fang Ling, who had been teleported not far away, arrived in time and intercepted the Golden Core Cultivator.

Currently, Fang Ling was once again emitting waves of mid-stage Golden Core spiritual power. The early-stage Golden Core man in the red robe, however, faced him fearlessly, wielding a heavy ruler magical treasure and pressed Fang Ling in combat.

"Fang kid, this guy not only has a Soul-Protection Secret Treasure, but his fire element is close to attaining Dao, and his lifebound magical treasure even incorporates a fourth-stage Spiritual Fire—the Sun Blaze Profound Gold Flame. I'm afraid we'll have a hard time taking him down!"

In Fang Ling's mind, Ancestor Blood Xi spoke somewhat helplessly.

His signature move, the Blood Xi Soul-Cleaving Sword, was being countered and his other techniques were too weak to execute due to his low cultivation level.

"Can we flee with Fellow Daoist Jiang?"

"We cannot. But what's the big deal? It's just helping her out once. We can repay her later, besides, she's unlikely to die."

Fang Ling remained silent.

A female cultivator falling into the hands of a demon sect's cultivator would likely not be able to preserve her chastity, even if her life was spared.

"Forget it, forget it. I owe you one."

Fang Ling's eyes hardened, and his aura surged once again, astonishingly reaching the level of a late-stage Golden Core.

At the same time, a red glow emanated from his body, forming a massive blood-colored sphere that enveloped the red-robed man.

"Blood Dao domain, huh. I'll see how long your secret technique can last!"

The man in the red robe radiated flames of a reddish-gold color, brandishing his ruler-shaped lifebound magical treasure and defending against the Blood Sword attacks with all his might.

It was a battle to see whose spiritual power would deplete first or whose secret technique would end sooner—he believed victory would be his. Read chapters at empire

As they fought, the heavily injured Jiang Yueli suddenly received a Divine Sense transmission in her mind.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I am Qing Shuang. What's happening here? Who is that person?"

Jiang Yueli was initially startled, then overjoyed.

Though she had only interacted with Qing Shuang briefly, Qing Shuang did not seem like a bad person to her.

She replied to the transmission from the underground direction it originated from.

"That person is Xiao Yan from the Extreme Path Demon Sect. He despicably ambushed me with his lifebound magical treasure—the Sun Blaze Profound Gold Ruler—as I exited the secret realm. If it weren't for Fang Daoist's intervention, I would probably have fallen into his hands. Qing Daoist, please, help Fang Daoist!"

In the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, she had witnessed Yu Qingtan's Canglan Umbrella.

Xiao Yan, the head disciple of the Extreme Path Demon Sect's Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel.

Yu Qingtan's eyes narrowed, not expecting to encounter another disciple of the Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel so soon.

"Perhaps he came with Ru Yao, but the Canglan Umbrella uses up too many Spirit Stones."

With that thought, Yu Qingtan sent a telepathic message in response.

"My Ancient Treasure requires ten top-grade Spirit Stones each time, and I don't have that many now. Have you used your Charm Treasure?"

The implication was clear, either give me Spirit Stones or give me your Charm Treasure.

"Fellow Qing, I don't have that many top-grade Spirit Stones either. My Star Plucking Hand Charm Treasure can still be used once, but my meridians are severely injured and I can't use it for the time being. It would trouble Fellow Qing to use it to help Fellow Fang."

Jiang Yueli very cooperatively took out the Star Plucking Hand Charm Treasure and placed it beneath her.

Yu Qingtan darted over to take the Charm Treasure, then sneaked toward the battlefield below.

As "Fang Ling" once again condensed a massive Blood Sword to cleave at Xiao Yan, Yu Qingtan burst out of the ground and launched the Star Plucking Hand Charm Treasure at Xiao Yan.

A palm shadow twinkling with starlight directly grasped Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was greatly startled and exerted his full strength to resist the colossal force of the palm shadow.

Due to the immense pressure, the Sun Blaze Profound Gold Ruler failed to completely block the Blood Sword's attack, leaving a deep gash over a foot long on his left shoulder.

At the same time, Yu Qingtan used her Object Controlling Technique to direct her Canglan Sword at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan had no choice but to turn aside and use the Sun Blaze Profound Gold Ruler to parry.

"Fang Ling" seized the opportunity to unleash another strike of the Blood Sword Technique, closing the distance and employing the Blood Control Technique.

Blood spurted from Xiao Yan's wound, and the blood within his body surged violently as if boiling.

The might of the Star Plucking Hand had yet to fade when the second wave of attacks from the Blood Sword and Canglan Sword was already upon him.

Xiao Yan was seething with anger in his heart; he still had a trump card, but using it against a few Foundation Establishment juniors would be far too wasteful.

Immediately, he took out two top-grade Second Stage Firebird Charms. Upon activation, they transformed into two firebirds that flew towards the Blood Sword and Canglan Sword respectively.

He also produced a top-grade Second Stage Escape Talisman, and with a surge of Spiritual Power, Xiao Yan's figure vanished instantly.

He had actually fled directly, leaving the Blood Sword and Canglan Sword that were intercepted by the firebirds to strike at empty air.

Both Fang Ling and Yu Qingtan inwardly lamented the missed opportunity.

However, both were aware that killing a Golden Core Cultivator was extremely difficult.

If the enemy detonated their Golden Core, their deaths would be almost certain.

"Thank you, Fellow Qing, for your assistance!"

Yu Qingtan nodded as a response, put away her Canglan Sword, and continued to escape using earth movement.

As Qing Shuang, she didn't have much to say to Fang Ling.

Fang Ling, helpless, could only descend, lift Jiang Yueli, and also quickly leave the area.

...

Three days later, Yu Qingtan finally returned to Tianxiang Immortal City.

Inside Raoliang Tea House, Xiang Ru rushed excitedly to Yu Qingtan upon her return, hanging on her eagerly.

Xiang Yu also revealed a smile, but she had bad news for Yu Qingtan.

"Qingtan, you're finally back. A few days ago, True Person Qiuyue and True Person Duowen came to Tianxiang Immortal City and ordered us to stop issuing mortgages under the charge of unauthorized business operations, imposing a fine of five hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

True Person Qiuyue, the mother of Yan Xi, Yan Qiuyue.

True Person Duowen, the father of Luo Xiang, Luo Duowen.
