My Fairy Growth System

"Tianxiang Pavilion’s Yu Qingtan, greets the City Lord," Yu Qingtan bowed deeply as she greeted him.

"Young lady, there’s no need for such formalities."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingtan straightened her body and looked towards City Lord Ouyang Wenjian ahead of her.

Fortunately, this was the Cultivation World, where not too many cumbersome rites were required. The seat of City Lord Ouyang Wenjian was only raised by one step, allowing Yu Qingtan to see him without the need to look up.

This was the first time Yu Qingtan had seen Ouyang Wenjian up close.

He had a square face, slightly dark complexion, furrowed brow, and hair showing strands of white. Far from the imposing aura of a powerful figure one might expect, he seemed more like an ordinary old man.

Only his bright, piercing eyes prevented Yu Qingtan from making eye contact for too long.

"Young lady, your idea of using music scores has been excellent. I intended to meet you originally, and you’ve surprised me once again. I heard you’ve awakened those who were unconscious, and you did very well. How confident are you about suppressing the cries of the Monkey-faced Eagles as you mentioned?"

Ouyang Wenjian’s tone was gentle, lacking the booming authority Yu Qingtan had heard previously, which gave her a feeling of being unexpectedly favored.

"Reporting to the City Lord, Qing Tan dares not claim any certainty; she can only do her best."

"Young lady, this is a matter concerning the life and death of many cultivators; how can you say you don’t have any certainty? Perhaps you could present your music score and let the zither masters of the Foundation Establishment Stage take care of this matter."

"Qi Zhe, it seems you’re prepared to lose all face. Even targeting a young lady’s possessions, why don’t you offer your family’s inheritance of the Purifying Heart Talisman to address this matter?"

"Song Guisheng, you’re causing a scene over nothing. If others listen to the zither music several times, they might be able to write down the score. Can one simply replicate the Purifying Heart Talisman just by looking at it a few times? Moreover, I didn’t say I wouldn’t compensate Miss Yu."

"Hmph, it seems you’re the one twisting words into logic."

"Alright, enough quarreling, we don’t want the younger generation to laugh at us. Young lady, Qi Zhe has a point. Fortunately, your Tower Master is here as well; she is a grandmaster of the zither. How about you play for us here?"

"Qing Tan has no objections. Greeting the Tower Master, Qing Tan will now humbly perform."

Yu Qingtan responded, then turned to Gongsun, the Tower Master, beside her and gave a bow. She took out her Spirit Dew Zither, sat down at the zither table prepared earlier, and began to play "Purification of Soul."

In the Cultivation World, music scores actually did have copyrights, mostly on a moral level, such as "Love of Butterfly Lovers." Since it wasn’t publicly licensed, only Yu Qingtan and Shen Wanning from Tianxiang Pavilion played it.

Although Yu Qingtan felt slightly perturbed at that moment, she had anticipated such a situation.

After finishing her performance, Yu Qingtan put away the zither, stood up, and bowed to Ouyang Wenjian and the others.

"Your zither art has indeed greatly improved; it seems I have taken advantage of you. This half-bottle of Spirit Dew is for your compensation," Gongsun, the Tower Master, said with a smile as she took out a small jade bottle and sent it through the air to Yu Qingtan.

"Thank you, Tower Master!"

Then Gongsun, the Tower Master, approached the zither table, took out a beautifully crafted zither, and gently began to play.

The melody was identical to Yu Qingtan’s.

However, soon Gongsun and everyone else in the room furrowed their brows.

Even though the tune was the same, when Yu Qingtan played there was a sense of tranquility and harmony emanating from her soul, which was absent when Gongsun played.

It wasn’t long before Gongsun finished playing as well.

"It seems this piece is quite extraordinary; it requires specific inheritance to exert its special effects," Gongsun said as she stood up.

Such restrictions are often related to a Heavenly Oath, so the crowd was not surprised.

"As such, we must trouble you, young lady. You need not feel too much pressure; we shall make all necessary preparations. Even if it doesn’t succeed, the consequences won’t be as severe as Qi Zhe suggested. You should go and rest now," City Lord Ouyang said, even offering Yu Qingtan some reassurance.

"Qing Tan takes her leave."

```

After coming out, Yu Qingtan took a deep breath, feeling great pressure in the company of a group of influential figures.

Then Yu Qingtan was arranged to rest in a small courtyard very close to the city wall.

Yu Qingtan seized the time to cultivate.

As night fell, the demonic beasts began their assault.

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"

The sound of the drums rose, and cultivators went out of the city to meet the enemy.

At the same time, on a high platform on the city wall, Yu Qingtan began to play "Purification of Soul". The sound of the zither was transmitted to the battlefield through a sound-amplifying formation.

Around Yu Qingtan were a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and a team of Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators for protection.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator was none other than the Family Head of the You family, You Xiantong.

He had volunteered for this task.

Naturally, his purpose was to forge a good relationship with Yu Qingtan.

On the battlefield outside the city, the conflict between the two sides had not been raging for long before a series of sounds resembling the cries of infants came from behind the demonic beasts.

The leading Foundation Establishment Cultivator immediately took out a Purifying Heart Talisman and got ready.

However, under the cover of Yu Qingtan’s zither music, the Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators fought more calmly and clearly, and the cry of the monkey-faced eagles had no effect on them whatsoever.

The cultivators rejoiced at once, their morale soaring.

"Kill!"

"Charge, take down these beasts."

Seeing this, the cultivators on the city wall also went all out with the Spirit Stone Cannons, suppressing the oncoming demonic beasts from behind.

After two hours of fierce fighting, the horde of demonic beasts finally retreated.

After the battle ended, Song Guihe, the great elder of the Song family, came together with Gongsun Yurong, the Tower Master of Tianxiang Pavilion.

"Qingtan, well done," praised Gongsun, the Tower Master.

"This time, young Yu has made a great contribution," Song Guihe also found Yu Qingtan more and more agreeable.

"Resisting the beast tide is everyone’s duty; these are all things Qingtan ought to do."

"Modest and unflustered, I’m even thinking of stealing you away from Gongsun, the Tower Master."

"Hehe, our Tianxiang Pavilion has always allowed the redemption of disciples within the pavilion, as long as there’s mutual consent, Tianxiang Pavilion will not hinder it," Tower Master Gongsun replied with a laugh.

"We’ll talk about that in the future!" Song Guihe changed the subject.

"You may not hinder it, but the price is up to you. I don’t know what astronomical figure you’ll set for someone like Qingtan," thought Song Guihe.

Then he said to Yu Qingtan, "Originally, the Merit Department planned to issue credits after the battle, but since you’re now on this side, you’re also half part of the combat division. With the battle this time and your previous work in the medical department, the Merit Department has awarded you thirteen hundred Merit Points. Here is a list of materials that can be exchanged for merit points, take a look and see if there’s anything you need, you can go to the Merit Department to exchange at any time."

Yu Qingtan took the Jade Slip that was passed to her.

Tower Master Gongsun also passed a Jade Token, saying, "This is the identity jade of a core disciple within Tianxiang Pavilion, from now on you’re a core disciple of our pavilion, enjoying the highest disciple benefits, and you can enter Tianxiang Valley to become an Inner Sect Disciple whenever you wish."

"Thank you, Tower Master, and thank you Elder Song!"

After the two gave their gifts, they left, and Yu Qingtan went back to report her safety to Shen Wanning with Huang Jin accompanying her, before returning to the small courtyard.

This small courtyard was also protected by a formation.

Huang Jin lived in the neighboring small courtyard.

Back in the room, Yu Qingtan took out the Jade Slip with the list of materials.
