My Fairy Growth System

Ouyang Wenjian’s complexion turned ugly upon hearing this; Qi Rui indeed had a grip on his Achilles’ heel.

"All you need to do is surrender and destroy these methods, I can assure you that I won’t kill you, I’ll only detain you, and moreover, I will lift the punishment on the Qis."

Ouyang Wenjian stated his terms.

"City Lord Ouyang, from the moment I faked my death, the Qis have had nothing to do with me. Even if you killed them all, I wouldn’t even frown. City Lord Ouyang, in fact, you won’t suffer any loss by releasing me, right?"

Ouyang Wenjian remained silent, and Qi Rui did not rush him.

After more than a dozen breaths, Ouyang Wenjian finally spoke.

"I agree to your terms!"

...

Demonic Beasts attacked the Immortal City every day.

It seemed they attacked for the sake of attacking.

That day, after the Demonic Beasts retreated, Yu Qingtan too prepared to return.

She had barely descended from the high platform when a woman in a goose-yellow dress blocked her path.

The woman had a melon-seed face, long eyelashes, big eyes, fair skin, and was very beautiful with a well-proportioned figure.

The woman’s eyes were fixed straight on Yu Qingtan, a playful smile on her face, but there was a deep chill in her eyes.

Before You Xiantong and his companion could step forward to ask, the woman had already turned and floated away.

Yu Qingtan didn’t pay attention to the woman who had bizarrely appeared and went straight to the Hall of Merit.

Her Merit Points had reached 3100.

Having just finished a battle, there weren’t many people in the Hall of Merit yet.

Yu Qingtan walked up to a counter, verified her identity, and spent 3000 Merit Points to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The staff of the Hall of Merit were all required to take a Heavenly Oath not to leak information about the exchanges, and since You Xiantong and the other person did not follow her inside, the fact that Yu Qingtan exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill was unlikely to be known by anyone and was relatively safe.

Afterward, Yu Qingtan made another trip to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, handling a batch of belongings she had acquired from the Misty Rain Tower assassin, the fortune-telling old man, and others, primarily those she could not use and which didn’t have a way to identify the user.

She obtained over eight thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, then invested an additional three thousand-plus stones, spending a total of fourteen thousand Spirit Stones to buy a set of Second Stage high-quality Protective Array.

This formation was called the Vajra Protective Spirit Array, which even late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators could not break through, and it could withstand a blow from an early-stage Golden Core Cultivator. This powerful Protective Array was so affordable because it covered a small area and was difficult to move.

This kind of array was generally used to protect rare Spiritual Medicines and was just large enough to cover an adult.

After the last assassination attempt, Yu Qingtan also considered using her doppelganger to act on her behalf, but on the one hand, she was worried about her real body encountering a sudden explosive attack, and on the other, she was concerned about her doppelganger dying or getting seriously injured, which could expose her Divine Skills.

However, if one’s life is already lost, there’s no concern about exposure anyway. Besides, she had recently learned that doppelgangers, though rare in the Cultivation World, still exist in many forms and wouldn’t necessarily be recognized as innate Divine Skills.

So, she came to buy this Vajra Protective Spirit Array, which she had seen on a previous visit.

Upon returning to her residence, she placed a cushion on the floor of her room, hammered four array pillars into the ground around the cushion, then placed four Medium Grade Spirit Stones on top of the pillars, and activated the Vajra Protective Spirit Array through the Array Plate in her hand.

There was a flash of spiritual light, and a golden protective shield formed. Its color slowly faded until it disappeared from sight, and with it, the four pillars disappeared as well, even the marks on the ground where they had been nailed in.

Yu Qingtan released a Water Blade which caused barely visible ripples on the shield, and the Water Blade dissipated into spiritual light.

Yu Qingtan’s face showed satisfaction.

"Although I have to replace the four Medium Grade Spirit Stones every two months, it is worth it."

Yu Qingtan took out the jade bottle containing the Foundation Establishment Pills and opened the stopper. A refreshing fragrance greeted his nose, and he glanced inside to see a crystal-clear pill the size of a broad bean lying peacefully within.

He capped the bottle and placed it into the System Space.

The Foundation Establishment Pill, although only a Lower Grade Second Stage Elixir, was always in scarce supply. He had not expected to secure one for himself.

After consuming some spiritual food to satisfy his hunger, Yu Qingtan stepped into the Vajra Protective Spirit Array and began to cultivate.

...

A few days later, when the Demonic Beasts attacked again, the City Lord Ouyang Wenjian led the charge out of the city to invite battle against the six Major Heavenly Demons.

"Hu Kaishan, Hu Juanshan, Hu Geshan, Eagle Breaks the Void, Eagle Strikes the Void, Eagle Nine Void, this City Lord has just perfected a powerful killing technique, come and meet your death."

"Hmph, as if we’re afraid of you!"

Since the beginning of the battle, the six Major Heavenly Demons indeed had no way to deal with Ouyang Wenjian, but six against one, they were not about to cower.

The Cultivators of the Immortal City could only hear the thunderous rumbling in the sky not far away, accompanied by the ceaseless roars of tigers and cries of eagles.

"The City Lord is invincible!"

Reinvigorated by the thought, the cultivators cheered, and Yu Qingtan, who was on the high platform, couldn’t help but be captivated.

Gradually, Ouyang Wenjian and the Heavenly Demons moved farther and farther apart in their battle, eventually disappearing from everyone’s sight.

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~ Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"

Six drum beats sounded.

All cultivators capable of combat in Suichuan Immortal City emerged to join the battle.

This included the upper echelons of the city’s major powers.

A giant azure sword shadow swept across, and Demonic Beasts fell like wheat under the scythe.

This was the Family Head of the Song family, Song Guisheng, casting the Green Wood Sword Technique with a top-grade Spiritual Artifact.

Two golden flying swords darted back and forth in the sky, like a pair of golden dragons dancing, hunting specifically for the Sky-Rending Eagles.

This was the Ges’ Great Elder, Ge Lian, striking with resentment.

A series of mini tornadoes were triggered by the flick of a folding fan, trapping four Second Stage late-phase Demonic Beasts within, roaring with metallic clanging sounds in the wind.

This was the Family Head of the Qis, Qi Zhe, taking on four foes alone in a blood battle for his clan.

One strike split the earth, the second cleaved mountains, the third shattered the void, and under the crisscrossing sword Qi, Demonic Beasts were torn asunder.

This was Liu Sandao from Tianxiang Pavilion, performing the Three Swords of Inquiry.

With light lotus steps and a fluttering red dress, she danced so elegantly that groups of demons grew infatuated, turning on one another in a frenzy to the death.

This was Gongsun Yurong, the Tower Master of Tianxiang Pavilion, executing the Tian Xiang Illusory Dance.

An unadorned red oil-paper umbrella, expanded to ten feet across. As it spun, fireballs the size of heads poured down. Even late-phase Second Stage Demonic Beasts did everything they could to avoid them.

This was Feng Zhongming, the Hall Master of the City Lord’s Mansion’s Hall of Merit, displaying an Ancient Treasure—the demon-burning umbrella, which was said to be modeled after the Immortal Artifact, the World Burning Ancient Umbrella.

A six-sided flying mat Spiritual Artifact supported six Foundation Establishment Cultivators, each positioned at a vertex. Below the mat, a pink light radiated, rendering any Demonic Beast it touched weak and inflaming their desires with burning red eyes.

This was the battle formation Spiritual Artifact of Tianxiang Valley, the Insatiable Craving Mat.

A handsome young cultivator in white floated on a flying sword, with three fist-sized white spheres rotating around him. Emitting a sharp aura, the spheres occasionally whizzed out, punching bloody holes in the bodies of the Second Stage Major Demons.

This was Qi Zhe, a pure Foundation Establishment later-stage Sword Cultivator from Sunset Gate, showcasing his Sword Pills.
