My Fairy Growth System

Indeed, it was no wonder there was a Golden Core Cultivator in the family.

"Then it should be quite settled, your friend’s senior brother must have feelings for her. After all, things too easily obtained are often not cherished; only in loss do we feel the pain. However?"

"However, what?" Yang Zhen felt increasingly that this Miss Yu Qingtan made a lot of sense as he listened.

"From what you’re saying, this senior brother isn’t often by your friend’s side. There’s a chance someone closer may usurp his place by the proverbial pond. Moreover, this kind of testing method can only be done once and not again, so you need to seize the opportunity quickly."

"Mm-hmm, Miss Qing Tan, then how should one seize the opportunity?"

"You can advise your friend to directly express her feelings next time."

"Ah, but how could one be so forward!" Yang Zhen was somewhat startled, his heart pounding.

"Young Master Yang, there’s a saying that goes well: happiness must be fought for," Yu Qingtan continued in her role as a master of love advice.

"Mm, okay, I’ll persuade her."

"However, there is another saying: the tears a girl sheds after marriage are the result of the water that entered her brain when choosing her partner. You should advise her to be discerning and confirm whether that senior brother is a good man!"

"Mm-hmm, I will talk to her about it!" Yang Zhen blushed at the mention of "after marriage," but he managed to remain calm and respond.

"Let me play the Qin for Young Master Yang."

"Mm-hmm, sure!"

...

The next day, Han Daniu, the deputy head of the Green Wolf Gang’s medicine hall, came again.

He brought a profit of 820 Spirit Stones.

"Miss Qing Tan, I couldn’t find you when I came a few days ago. I heard you got your own place; how about we exchange Communication Talismans? That way, I can contact you in advance and directly deliver the profits to your home. How does that sound?"

"Big Brother Han, exchanging Communication Talismans is fine, but no need to deliver to my home. Just find a secluded place to leave the profits, notify me, and I will find time to collect them," Yu Qingtan considered and then said.

"Alright."

The two then exchanged Communication Talismans imbued with their own spiritual power.

"Miss Qing Tan, a few days ago the head of the medicine hall indeed suspected that it was me conducting the Golden Spear Pill business and wanted a slice of the pie. Fortunately, I’d already found a backer. After I pulled that out, he didn’t dare to push the matter, though he still shamelessly tried to get a share, which I refused. I feel I will soon break through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, and by then my cultivation will be higher than his and the profit I bring to the medicine hall will surpass him. Let’s see how he has the nerve to remain in his position as head."

Han Daniu spoke with a bit of triumph in his voice.

Although Yu Qingtan’s office had a Surveillance Formation, it didn’t record sound, so she dared to discuss such matters with Han Daniu here confidently.

"Then congratulations, Big Brother Han! May I ask, who is this powerful backer you found?"

"All thanks to Miss Qing Tan’s blessings, I found Ouyang Wuqing, the captain of the first squadron of the Enforcement Team, a senior in the late stages of Foundation Establishment," Han Daniu whispered.

"Wow, Big Brother Han really has such connections!" Yu Qingtan was genuinely surprised.

"Hehe, it was out of luck that I found a piece of Spirit Ore that Senior Ouyang urgently needed, and given that the Green Wolf Gang’s backing is the Enforcement Team itself, that’s how I had the chance to connect with Senior Ouyang. I’ve handed over 40 percent of the profits," Han Daniu said somewhat reluctantly.

"Big Brother Han, don’t feel bad; having a backer is how you make a business last," Qing Tan reassured.

"What Miss Qing Tan says is true."

"Big Brother Han, let me play a new musical piece for you," Qing Tan offered.

"Hehe, sure!"

...

And so, a few days later, Yu Qingtan requested a makeup rest day from Manager Su, and Manager Su agreed.

Dressed in simple attire and wearing a veil, Qing Tan followed two Protecting Disciples out of the building and strolled through the marketplace of the Immortal City.

First, she went to buy some daily necessities and additionally purchased some Spirit Rice and spirit food ingredients.

Then she arrived at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

By chance, there was a sparse crowd gathered at the entrance of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, as if there was some excitement to witness.

Qing Tan peered through the gaps in the crowd and saw a person dressed as a Hundred Treasures Pavilion attendant kneeling on the ground in front of the pavilion’s door, slapping his own face.

Inside the door of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, the bold-dressed Dream Deacon was politely interacting with an unassuming grey-robed cultivator.

"Brother, what is going on here?"

Qing Tan quietly asked a middle-aged cultivator standing to her front and side.

The middle-aged cultivator was initially annoyed at being disturbed from watching the spectacle, but when he turned his head and saw it was a girl, he immediately smiled and whispered back, "Heh, it’s just that this new attendant of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion has always been arrogant and condescending. Reportedly, because he has the backing of a higher-up in the pavilion, the Dream Deacon couldn’t directly replace him. However, he didn’t expect to encounter a Foundation Establishment senior today who’s been concealing his cultivation level. When the attendant saw the senior’s plain clothes, he ridiculed him, and now he’s hit a snag. The Dream Deacon is negotiating with that senior."

"I see, thank you, brother, for clearing up my confusion."

"Heh heh, you’re welcome, you’re welcome!"

At this moment, the grey-robed cultivator at the latter stage of Foundation Establishment showed a satisfied look and walked towards the staircase leading to the second floor of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

The Dream Deacon then spoke to the outside crowd, "Everyone, I am very sorry for the poor shopping experience he has caused. The negligence is my fault, rest assured, he will receive the punishment he deserves and he will not appear before you again! As compensation, all goods on the first floor of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion will be offered at a 10% discount today!"

With the cheers of the crowd, the pale-faced attendant was taken away.

He seemed like he wanted to say something, but someone quickly gagged him with cloth.

Then, the Dream Deacon also made her way to the second floor.

Her retreating figure sent ripples through the hearts of the onlooking crowd.

"That attendant must be the same one Han Daniu mentioned who mocked him, no wonder he didn’t end up well!" Qing Tan thought.

She then followed the crowd into the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

She bought 5 bottles of Spirit-Condensing Pills, 5 bottles of Hundred Herbs Pills, 1 bottle of a first-grade high-quality Healing Pill, and 2 pieces of Fireball Talismans.

She initially wanted to buy Spirit Dew or Wasteland Crystal, but unfortunately they were out of stock.

She had only a little more than two hundred Spirit Stones left.

"It really doesn’t last long."

After leaving the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Qing Tan continued to browse the marketplace.

Suddenly, a voice appeared behind Qing Tan.

"Qing Tan?"

Qing Tan instinctively turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a white robe looking at her.

The man had a clear brow and handsome features, a complexion fair as jade, a well-shaped nose, and was accompanied by an attendant.

Qing Tan recognized this pretty-faced man as a customer from a few days ago who called himself Liang Liang, a seventh layer Qi Cultivation stage practitioner from a cultivator family outside of Suichuan Immortal City. He was deeply attracted by Qing Tan’s introduction and even more smitten upon meeting her.

However, Qing Tan didn’t believe a word he said, as she checked the system panel afterward and found no change in her Charm Points or Affection Value.

"Young Master Liang?"

"Qing Tan, it really is you, I thought it looked like you from the back!"

"Young Master Liang, I just happen to have a day off today and decided to have a look around the marketplace. It’s such a coincidence to run into you."

"Qing Tan, indeed it is a coincidence, and it shows that we are fated. May I have the honor of accompanying you around the marketplace?"

"Having Young Master Liang’s company would be an honor too!"
