My Fairy Growth System

"I have seen Senior Li!" Yu Qingtan hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects.

"Qingtan, there's no need for formalities. A few days ago, my master completed her retreat. I have spoken to her about you, and she has agreed to take you as a named disciple. You can just call me Senior Sister. Sister Ye, please continue to help her with the entrance procedures."

Li Xingruo said.

"Xing Ruo, it seems Master Lin has left her retreat, which probably means her cultivation has progressed further. Qingtan, being taken as a named disciple by Master Lin is a great fortune for you. Here is your Inner Sect Disciple Identity Jade and some other items that Inner Sect Disciples are entitled to—take good care of them!"

Deacon Ye said, handing over a Jade Token and a Storage Bag to Yu Qingtan.

"Many thanks to Senior Sister Li, many thanks to Deacon Ye!"

"Hmm, I have already added your name to the sect's roster; the procedures are now complete. Since you have become Master Lin's named disciple, I will no longer manage your living arrangements."

"Thank you for your efforts, Sister Ye. Qingtan, come with me!"

After bidding farewell to Deacon Ye, Yu Qingtan followed Li Xingruo away.

"Qingtan, I've been informed of your situation by Senior Sister Yu Rong. It wasn't easy for a Qi Practitioner like you to escape from the depths of Yunhua Mountain Range.

In addition, we have benefitted greatly from Zhi Lan Pavilion, so my master agreed to take you as a named disciple. As long as you break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage before you turn twenty, she will take you as an official disciple,"

Li Xingruo said as the two rode on a willow leaf-shaped flying Spiritual Artifact.

"Many thanks, Senior Sister Li. May I know the name of our master?"

"Our master is Lin Roujia. She has broken through to the Late Stage of the Golden Core with her recent retreat, but she is currently away on business, so you won't be able to see her for the time being."

Late Stage of the Golden Core, now that's a powerful backer to latch onto.

"Senior Sister Li, I'm curious about Ruan Fan's behavior. It seems like he is targeting me?"

Yu Qingtan asked with curiosity.

"Heh, it's not just a feeling, he is targeting you. He's Yan Xi's father, though he's the son-in-law to the Yan family, and since the incident when Yan Xi and Luo Xiang broke off their engagement, the Yan family naturally holds no fondness for you.

Of course, the key reason is your deep connection with Zhi Lan Pavilion. Our lineage has benefitted from Zhi Lan Pavilion, so it's quite normal for the family faction to target you,"

Li Xingruo explained, and Yu Qingtan instantly understood the situation.

"It's all about the conflict of interests, but 'Ruan Fan,' indeed, seems to be quite an appropriate name."

Yu Qingtan thought to herself.

"We've arrived. This is Xiangfei Garden, the cultivation site of our master's lineage. I have arranged a small courtyard for you. Normally, that would only be treatment for Foundation Establishment disciples, so you have to work hard on your cultivation and reach Foundation Establishment soon."

The two landed in front of a vast complex built against the mountain. Li Xingruo said.

"Qingtan will work hard in her cultivation."

After leading Yu Qingtan to a secluded courtyard and giving her the Jade Token to control the formation of the courtyard, with a few more words of advice, Li Xingruo left.

The small courtyard was backed by a mountain wall, half an acre in size, with a large open space and a pond, planted with bamboo and a few peach trees. Surprisingly, the house had four rooms and a living room.

Yu Qingtan first purified the place with Purification Spell, then she arranged it simply.

Then, heading to the cultivation room, Yu Qingtan opened the Storage Bag given by Deacon Ye.

One thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, two sets of first-grade Superior Inner Sect disciple uniforms, one first-grade Superior standard-issue sword, and a Jade Slip.

The treatment for a Qi Cultivation Stage disciple was quite good, and for Qingtan, it was better than nothing.

The uniform was a pink dress, which she had seen Su Qinghe and others wearing before; it was quite pretty.

Storing the Spirit Stones, sword, and clothes, Yu Qingtan picked up the Jade Slip and began to check it with her Divine Sense.

The Jade Slip contained a detailed introduction to Tianxiang Valley, including its history, sect rules, leadership, areas of influence, and important points for disciples, among other things.

Yu Qingtan read through it thoroughly and committed it to memory.

Checking the time, Yu Qingtan laid out the Vajra Protective Spirit Array in the cultivation room, added the alarm Formation on the outside, plus the Second Stage Superior Array that came with the courtyard.

"This should be quite safe!"

She put on that pink uniform and stepped out of the courtyard.

In Tianxiang Valley where every step revealed a different scene, Yu Qingtan admired the surroundings as she made her way to her destination.

Scripture Pavilion.

As a newly accepted Inner Sect Disciple benefit, her Identity Jade contained one hundred Sect Contribution Points.

The Scripture Pavilion was divided into four floors, and Inner Sect Disciples were allowed to enter the first two.

With no one guarding the entrance, Yu Qingtan could pass through the formation's light screen into it by simply holding her Identity Jade.

Inside the Scripture Pavilion, rows of shelves were lined up, not with books, but with structures resembling drawers.

When she swiped her Identity Jade against the side of a shelf, she could obtain a Jade Slip that introduced the scriptures within that row.

The kind you had to put back after reading.

The shelves were also categorized, and to find the desired scriptures, sweeping the Identity Jade at the corresponding location would automatically deduct Sect Contribution Points and exchange them for a Jade Slip.

It was indeed very intelligent.

At this time, there were only a few scattered individuals inside the pavilion, and Yu Qingtan went through the introduction Jade Slips of each level, greatly broadening her knowledge.

Then, she proceeded to the second floor and did the same.

After finishing with all the levels, Yu Qingtan headed towards her target.

The Second Stage Breath-Concealing Technique, which could be exchanged for exactly one hundred Sect Contribution Points.

Achieving her goal for this trip, night had already fallen.

Walking back by the bright moonlight, Yu Qingtan was on her way.

However, trouble found her when she was close to reaching her small courtyard.

Two female cultivators blocked Yu Qingtan's path.

Both were dressed in Inner Sect Disciple uniforms and had beautiful features, one tall and the other with deep-set, malevolent eyes.

"This small courtyard has a new resident. I thought master had taken in another disciple, but after inquiring at the General Affairs Hall, I learned it was just a little girl from Tianxiang Pavilion. It must be you," the tall cultivator said, looking down at Yu Qingtan with disdain.

"Yes, it's me. What brings the two senior sisters here?" Yu Qingtan replied expressionlessly.

"Clearly from some small place, not even knowing basic manners. I also heard you seduced Deacon Luo, causing Deacon Yan to break off their engagement. Isn't it just like someone from Tianxiang Pavilion?" the other cultivator with malevolent eyes scornfully said.

Yu Qingtan did not respond, gave a push with her legs, and dashed closer to them.

"Slap–"

"Slap–"

She delivered a resounding slap to each face.

In Tianxiang Valley sect rules, disciples were forbidden from fighting each other privately.

But she wasn't fighting, was she?

Both women were stunned, one hand covering their faces, the other pointing at Yu Qingtan.

"You little slut, how dare you hit me? Even my father has never hit me; you're dead! You're dead for sure!" the tall cultivator roared.

The cultivator with malevolent eyes, full of fury, circulated the Spiritual Power within her body, forming a concentrated fireball at her fingertips and shooting it towards Yu Qingtan.

"Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, Fire Bullet Technique, you were the one who attacked first," Yu Qingtan thought coldly as she swiftly formed three Water Blades that dashed out, shattered the fireball into sparks, and whirled around her.

The protective shield formed by the hastily summoned amulet from the malevolent-eyed cultivator didn't last a breath before shattering.

Amidst the scattering of torn fabric, the clothes of the malevolent-eyed cultivator had already vanished.

The moon tonight.

So big.

So white.
