My Fairy Growth System

Yu Qingtan clenched her fists tightly, somewhat regretting not handling Yan Xi back in the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

"I am still too kindhearted," she said.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Qingtan said, "Let's put this matter aside for now, I need to return to the valley as soon as possible."

Early the next morning, Yu Qingtan bid farewell to Xiang Ru, who was reluctant to see her go, and set off to return to Tianxiang Valley.

The Roaming Zither stayed temporarily at the Raoliang Tea House.

To avoid any trouble, Yu Qingtan changed her appearance and kept a low profile.

She made it back to Tianxiang Valley without any issues, first went to the Task Hall to turn in her assignment, then directly headed back to her residence at the Xiangfei Elegant Courtyard.

After sending a Communication Talisman to Li Xingruo, Yu Qingtan began her seclusion in her own courtyard.

Now that she was not lacking in Spirit Dew or Wasteland Crystals, it was time to cultivate in earnest.

Cultivation knows no years.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed, and snowflakes began to flutter from the sky.

Yu Qingtan finally came out of seclusion.

Having used up all the Second Stage Spirit Dew, Yu Qingtan brought her cultivation level to the peak of the late Foundation Establishment period.

All the Second Stage Wasteland Crystals were consumed. The Ice Skin Jade Bone Art barely reached the late Foundation Establishment period, but with her cultivation of the Demon Blood Refinement Technique using the blood of a Third Stage Heavenly Demon Eagle—coupled with the foundation laid by the Ice Skin Jade Bone Art—she directly reached the peak of the late Foundation Establishment period.

However, using the Third Stage Heavenly Demon blood for further refinement yielded diminishing returns, and demon blood merely reduced the amount of Wasteland Crystal needed, not replacing it entirely.

Even so, the strength of her physical body was now no less than that of a Golden Core Cultivator in the mid-stage who had not undergone Body Refinement.

In terms of her soul's strength, with the help of Nourishing Soul Incense and the Soul Cleansing Technique, there had been great progress, and her Divine Sense could now reach as far as two hundred and thirty zhang.

She spent less time on spell cultivation, but leveraging her fairy-grade Water Spirit Root's affinity with water, she had stepped onto the threshold of mastery in the water element and successfully constructed the initial form of her own water domain.

Before leaving her seclusion, Yu Qingtan decided to celebrate with a long-overdue treasure draw.

She had 178 Affection Points in her system, mostly converted from Charm Points, with over thirty thousand Charm Points remaining.

She cleansed herself with the Purification Spell and silently recited, "To the Dao Ancestor, eternal."

Yu Qingtan went all in with her Charm Points, ready for more than three thousand consecutive draws.

"Third Stage Breath-Concealing Technique, beginner level!"

Yu Qingtan was overjoyed. To get such a good item within just over two hundred draws meant that even if she got nothing else worthwhile, it was still a win.

The spells acquired from the system came not only with the cultivation methods but also directly at the beginner level.

A Third Stage spell is not only hard to come by, but also hard to learn, requiring high soul strength, and usually only a Golden Core Cultivator could control it.

This meant that if it were just the cultivation method for the Third Stage Breath-Concealing Technique, it would be very difficult for Yu Qingtan to learn at her current level.

She decisively claimed it, and various insights about concealing her spiritual power's presence emerged in her mind.

She controlled her spiritual power's presence to match the early phases of the mid Foundation Establishment stage with very low consumption of spiritual energy.

Continuing the treasure draw, at around the two thousand seven hundred mark, she struck gold again.

"Face Shaping Pill!"

After seeing its effects, Yu Qingtan was absolutely delighted.

In the Cultivation World, it is very hard for cultivators to adjust their facial features through spells or cultivation techniques, and any enforced change is easily detected as unnatural and will gradually revert.

Yu Qingtan didn't know why, but the Face Shaping Pill could change that.

She immediately claimed it and, using her spiritual power to adjust her face in front of the mirror, consumed the Face Shaping Pill after getting the desired look.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Yu Qingtan laughed heartily without any concern for her image.

"Hahaha, this beats any plastic surgery from my past life's Korea by a thousand times, this pretty little face, once again charmed by my own beauty."

You see, she had always been troubled by her resemblance to Fairy Yuan Qianrou, but now, after a slight adjustment, coupled with her previously tweaked eyebrows and eyelashes, they only looked two or three parts alike.

At this point, she actually bore a six or seven-parts resemblance to the classic image of Lin Daiyu from her previous life, yet she was even more beautiful than them.

Furthermore, her age increase and the effects of body refinement caused her to develop a bit more, reaching nearly five feet in height with a perfectly proportioned chest.

"Hehehe, from now on I'll be Fairy Qingtan, with this flourishing age's grace. I'll give myself a score of 9.9, leaving a 0.1 margin to avoid becoming too proud."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Yu Qingtan grinned at her reflection in the mirror.

After a long while, she calmed down and continued to finish off her remaining draws.

As expected, nothing good came out again.

She slightly concealed her beauty and happily stepped out of the courtyard, heading towards Li Xingruo's residence.

Li Xingruo was at home, not in seclusion.

As Yu Qingtan entered the house, she found three other people inside.

Li Xingruo, Wen Jin, and two female cultivators she did not recognize.

All four had furrowed brows, but upon seeing Yu Qingtan, who was emitting mid-stage Foundation Establishment spiritual power fluctuations, Li Xingruo's face finally brightened with a smile.

"Junior Sister Yu, you've actually made a direct breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and have become so much more beautiful. It seems you gained a lot from the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, good, good, good!"

"All thanks to Senior Sister Li's care!"

Before entering seclusion, Yu Qingtan had sent a Communication Talisman to Li Xingruo, mentioning she had prepared Foundation Establishment Pills and some cultivation resources, ready to break into Foundation Establishment and dedicate time to intensive cultivation.

"Come, let me introduce you. Before you, our master had taken four personal disciples, all of whom are here.

You already know Wen Jin, your Fourth Senior Sister. This is your Second Senior Sister, Gao Yue; this is your Third Senior Sister, Ni Shuyu.

This is the Fifth Junior Sister Yu Qingtan I've mentioned to you, who just turned sixteen after the new year, already at mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and who has a deep understanding of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She has debated with the four great scholars of the All-World Academy and is also a Spirit Tailor genius brimming with creativity."

"Fifth Junior Sister Qingtan greets Second Senior Sister Gao, Third Senior Sister Ni, Fourth Senior Sister Wen."

"Junior Sister shines like the stars!" Second Senior Sister Gao Yue was half a head taller than Yu Qingtan. Uncommonly sporting short hair, she looked vibrant and vigorous, taking a keen look at Yu Qingtan and praising her.

"Junior Sister is truly exceptional!" Third Senior Sister Ni Shuyu, with her long pink hair, clung to Gao Yue's arm, only reaching up to her shoulder, and meekly made her comment, a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

"Junior Sister is indeed formidable," the demure Wen Jin sincerely complimented.

"Junior Sister Yu, you've arrived at a good time. Our master sent a message back earlier, saying she won't be returning for the new year, sigh."

Li Xingruo sighed.

"Where has Master gone for tasks? Is there a problem with not coming back for the new year?" Yu Qingtan was curious; in the Cultivation World, there was no need to take holidays for the new year.

"In usual years, Master would spend the new year at Xiangfei Garden. Not coming back this time, I'm afraid she might be trapped."

Gao Yue was somewhat clenched her teeth, but Yu Qingtan was still puzzled.

"It's like this. After Master broke through to the late stage of the Golden Core, she went to Wendao Sect to settle the score with that person. But she hasn't returned up to now."

"That person?"

Experience new stories on empire

"Yong Li, the real person from Wendao Sect. He once shared a sweet past with Master, but for reasons unknown, they separated later.

Whenever Master occasionally mentions him, it's with deep resentment. Right after her breakthrough, she said she was going to show him what for."

Li Xingruo explained, as everyone else showed a look of helplessness.
