My Fairy Growth System

The Nascent Soul Ceremony's competition for the juniors was once again hosted by True Lord Kongbei, divided into two events: Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment.

Qi Practitioners were split into ten First Stage Dueling Platforms, using a king-of-the-hill format for the contests, where the fights were stopped upon contact, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Yu Qingtan watched with great interest, as there were many spells and magic artifacts she had only heard of but never seen. This was truly an eye-opening experience for her.

The little loli, Xiao Youwei, also took to the platform, and with the strength of the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, relying on her proficient Water Blade Technique and a top-quality longsword magic artifact, she successfully challenged a ninth layer Qi Practitioner and defended her position for seven matches.

Eventually, she was defeated by Di Yan, a ninth layer Qi Practitioner of the Fire Vein from the Wendao Sect, and after stepping down from the platform, she flew into Yu Qingtan's arms, looking for comfort.

With no one challenging them anymore, the ten champions fought among themselves, and in the end, the Fire Vein practitioner Di Yan emerged victorious, earning a Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward.

For the Foundation Establishment stage, only two Dueling Platforms were set up.

Yu Qingtan stepped up without hesitation and entered one of them.

The corners of the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators' mouths twitched. With her record, which Foundation Establishment Cultivator would dare to duel her?

Perhaps an undefeated cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage could spar with her, but there were no such geniuses present.

As a result, Yu Qingtan contentedly watched the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators duel on the other platform, while being a quiet and beautiful girl herself.

Both the audience in the hall and the cultivators from the Wendao Immortal City found it amusing yet greatly admired her.

With her already peerless demeanor, even the undefeated cultivators couldn't help but take a fresh look at Yu Qingtan.

"Brother, you weren't much different during your Foundation Establishment Stage, right? This girl will sooner or later top the Hundred Flowers List, why not take her under your wing now? Ah Ji won't get jealous, right?"

The voice echoed again in the mind of the undefeated cultivator, but he did not respond.

Yu Qingtan enjoyed watching the duels, and it seemed to her that she could hear the sound of "whoosh" as the Charm Points came pouring in, her mood joyous and her face breaking into a sweet smile.

Finally, after about an hour, the dueling on the other platform concluded. Jiang Yueli from the Star Moon Sect was the victor.

She was also someone Yu Qingtan knew.

This sort of contest, especially one aimed at sparring, did not allow the use of ancient treasures, charm treasures, and other external objects beyond one's own realm, but secret techniques were not included in this prohibition.

However, most cultivators would not use such secret techniques, as the cost was too high. It wasn't worthwhile just for a sparring match, but that didn't include Yu Qingtan.

It's just a Medium Grade Spirit Stone, just sprinkle some water.

So, when Jiang Yueli looked at her, Yu Qingtan unhesitatingly showed off the spiritual power fluctuations of the Golden Core Stage, displaying her nascent water domain.

Jiang Yueli felt helpless, as any fighting spirit that had arisen was instantly doused.

"Fairy Qingtan, I concede!"

Jiang Yueli consoled herself with the thought that there were decent rewards for coming in second place.

"Thank you for yielding!"

Yu Qingtan courteously replied with a smile, then retracted her water domain.

Yu Qingtan happily took her reward of yet another Golden Core Pill and returned to her seat.

Even though she had already received one from Ru Yao, a Golden Core Pill, which helped with advancement, was more valuable than a spirit stone, a solid and useful currency.

At the end, True Lord Kongbei displayed a Fourth Stage Dao Technique she had created.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Dream Star River.

Drunk, not knowing the sky in the water, a boat full of clear dreams pressing down the starry river.

A huge river phantom appeared mid-air in the hall, its water shimmering and reflecting starlight, beautiful yet incredibly dangerous.

This is a Dao Technique that combines the ways of water, dreams, and stars. Although no overt power was displayed, the demise and injury of those Fourth Stage Sea Clan members were due to this technique.

Alas, Yu Qingtan lacked sufficient proficiency and deep understanding, merely finding it beautiful.

Subsequently, the ceremony concluded.

Groups of attendees were led by Wendao Sect cultivators towards the Hall of Merit of the Wendao Sect.

The Hall of Merit was also a massive structure built against Mount Wendao, occupying about a quarter of the area of the Heavenly Question Hall.

Upon entering the Hall of Merit, Yu Qingtan was received by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator woman from the Wendao Sect. The woman handed her an Identity Jade representing a registered true disciple of the Wendao Sect Water Vein, which contained one hundred and ten thousand Wendao Sect Contribution Points.

Then, the woman led her to the third floor, a place usually reserved for Golden Core Cultivators, and waited outside the door for her.

Inside were rows of treasure shelves similar to bookshelves, each equipped with a Treasure Catalogue Jade Slip on its side, and adorned with jade slips, ancient books, storage bags holding treasures, and more.

Yu Qingtan began to examine each catalog one by one. Among the Golden Core Cultivators selecting treasures to exchange, they simply nodded at Yu Qingtan as a form of greeting upon seeing her.

Because of the abundance of treasures, it took Yu Qingtan two quarters of an hour to check all the catalogues before she selected the items she wanted to exchange for.

A complete blood sample from a late-stage Fourth Order Demon King, costing sixty thousand Contribution Points.

A small piece of Fourth Stage Soul Nurturing Wood, costing fifty thousand Contribution Points.

Her Contribution Points were completely used up, but Yu Qingtan was very satisfied.

The Demon King's blood was for practicing the Demon Blood Refinement Technique, and the Soul Nurturing Wood was for nurturing and strengthening her soul.

The Soul Nurturing Wood Yu Qingtan had previously received from Gao Lao of the Extreme Path Demon Sect was only Second Stage, but it had greatly helped her, though it was nearly used up.

After leaving the Hall of Merit, the others from Tianxiang Valley were already waiting for her.

Among them was her nominal master, Madame Rou Jia.

Madame Rou Jia was dressed in a light green patterned dress with an exposed neckline, her face as lovely as a peach blossom, her eyebrows gracefully arched, a white peony adornment in her hair, which was pulled up with a white shawl draped over the back, and around her neck was a necklace studded with red gems, highlighting her magnificent and dazzling bust.

When Yu Qingtan came out, Madame Rou Jia was chatting and laughing with Madame Shui Yun.

Yu Qingtan hurried forward, bowing deeply and saying, "Disciple Yu Qingtan pays respect to Master, the Valley Master, and to the two Martial Uncles!"

Madame Rou Jia stepped forward to pull Yu Qingtan up, looking her over carefully while praising her, "Good girl, my dear disciple, with such high talent and so beautiful too."

Madame Shui Yun could not help but interject, "It's only because of you, Sister Rou Jia. If someone else had such a precious disciple, she'd be at home every day, not leaving the house; I would have poached her long ago.

You should make the most of the time you have to teach her, don't wait until you come back to find Qing Tan has surpassed you."

Madame Rou Jia was a bit embarrassed and chuckled awkwardly, "My fault indeed. You all come with me to the Earth Vein first."

"That would be good!"

Madame Shui Yun nodded, acknowledging that the front of the Hall of Merit was indeed not the place for an extended stay.

"May I ask Master and the Valley Master to wait just a moment?"

Because Yu Qingtan saw Zhou Lan, Zhong Yao, and Jing Hao approaching her.

Madame Rou Jia and Madame Shui Yun nodded, and Yu Qingtan went to greet them.

After exchanging greetings, Zhou Lan explained the purpose of their visit.

"Master Yu, our leader for the World Academy Southeast Branch this time is Master Yan Ziqing from the Chess Academy. He and some teachers from the Qin, Book, and Painting Academies are very interested in you and would like to invite you to the All-World Academy for an exchange.

However, he and other Nascent Soul Cultivators are currently discussing some affairs with Sect Master Mo, so he sent us to deliver a formal invitation. With this invitation, Master Yu can travel to Qu Fu Immortal City for free using the teleportation arrays in the cities that connect to Qu Fu Immortal City."
