My Fairy Growth System

Chapter 82: Love and Hatred, So Many Events

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingtan’s heart skipped a beat.

Gong Ping, the elder, reached out his hand, and the storage bag appeared in his left, then he wiped over it with his right hand.

"There, I’ve erased the spiritual power mark, It was most likely a trick laid by that old Fire Cloud ghost,"

Gong Ping said.

Yu Qingtan broke out in a cold sweat behind her back, thankful that she had come here to dispose of her ill-gotten goods, and at the same time, she asked, "Elder Gong, could there be the same tricks on the other items?"

"The ones you’ve taken out here are now clear, but for the others, I have no way of knowing. You’d better warn your friend,"

"Hmm, thank you Elder Gong. Is there a way to check?"

Considering that the rest of her goods were in the System Space, there shouldn’t be any problems for the moment.

But having been at a loss when she visited the black market before, and almost becoming a target of a Golden Core cultivator this time, she could not be too cautious.

"Other than divine sense of about the same realm, there are also some advanced pupil techniques. Also, one could use the Great Purification Technique, but unfortunately, advanced pupil techniques are hard to find, and the Purification Spell is difficult to master."

Gong Ping said.

"Deacon Meng, does the Hundred Treasures Pavilion have any pupil techniques or Purification Spells for sale?"

Yu Qingtan asked after hearing this.

"No, most of the spells sold by the Hundred Treasures Pavilion are common varieties; the really rare ones have to be bought at the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion. I’m not sure about pupil techniques, but the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion definitely sells the second-stage Purification Spell.

However, only the Purification Spells of the second stage and above are available, and cultivators usually can only practice second-stage spells after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage. Speaking of which, the Cleansing Spell is a prerequisite for the second-stage Purification Spell. The better you are at the Cleansing Spell, the easier it is to learn the Purification Spell.

Looking at the value of these items you’ve brought, it’s about 7800 spirit stones. I’ll round it up to an even 8000 spirit stones. Do you have anything else you wish to buy?"

Meng Xiyao said.

"Are there any books introducing knowledge about the Foundation Establishment Stage and higher realms, as well as spirit objects that aid the soul barrier during Foundation Establishment?" Yu Qingtan asked.

She had too little understanding of realms above Qi Cultivation, which was the pain point of not having a master to guide her.

"We have some related books. As for spirit objects, we only have Marrow Cleansing Liquid, which aids the body’s barrier," Meng Xiyao replied.

There are three barriers in Foundation Establishment: the spiritual power barrier, the body barrier, and the soul barrier. Each one has blocked countless Qi Practitioners from advancing in their cultivation.

Yu Qingtan cultivated spiritual power mostly through system upgrades or by consuming heaven-sent treasures like marrow milk or Spirit Dew, making her spiritual power very pure and abundant, so the pressure wasn’t significant for the spiritual power barrier.

Having cultivated to the sixth level of the Ice Skin Jade Bone Art before Foundation Establishment, and potentially the seventh level, her physical body was comparable to that of an ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, so the body barrier was very stable.

It was only the soul barrier where Yu Qingtan felt her soul was stronger than cultivators of the same realm, but it was only a feeling and not yet secure.

Although she had Foundation Establishment Pills for support, an ancient text mentioned that ancient cultivators did not use Foundation Establishment Pills and were stronger than the cultivators of today.

Thus, she wanted to strengthen her soul as well, and hearing Meng Xiyao’s words, she couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.

"On New Year’s Eve afternoon, our Hundred Treasures Pavilion will be hosting an auction in conjunction with Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion and Spirit Clothing Pavilion. You can attend by presenting your Guest Jade Token. You might find what you’re looking for. But be ready with enough spirit stones!"

"Alright!"

After spending 1900 spirit stones on the books, Yu Qingtan took her leave and left.

After Yu Qingtan had left, Meng Xiyao asked, "Protector Gong, are you really going to put up the Soul Nourishing Liquid you have for auction? There are quite a few people in the sect who want to exchange it for Merit Points."

"It was my own fortuitous discovery. How I dispose of it is naturally for me to decide. I see great potential in this young girl. She will definitely achieve Foundation Establishment next year, and at fifteen years old, even those with top-grade spirit roots are rare to achieve as much."

...

By the time she returned home, under the sky filled with a myriad of stars and the shining full moon, there was a person leaning against the door, wearing a bamboo hat.

Their black hair swaying in the north wind.

You Xiwang was about to move forward to check when Yu Qingtan stopped him.

"He’s a friend of mine, probably looking for me. You go ahead and leave!"

You Xiwang glanced at the short figure and said, "Alright!"

Then he left.

This person was none other than Fu Nian.

Yu Qingtan approached the door and said, "Young Master Fu, wait a moment while I change my clothes."

Fu Nian nodded.

After speaking, Yu Qingtan entered the house.

Fu Nian outside sensed You Xiwang hiding around the corner with his divine sense and smiled faintly.

Once inside, Yu Qingtan switched her consciousness to her main body, tidied up a bit, then went out and invited Fu Nian inside.

"Master Fu, please take a seat!"

Yu Qingtan said, while pouring a cup of tea for Fu Nian.

"About last time, I must have been a laughingstock," Master Fu sat down and said.

"It is Qing Tan who should be embarrassed for laughing, Master Fu. You are truly a person of good temperament and generosity," recalling the incident of getting drunk, Yu Qingtan also felt somewhat awkward.

"Miss Qing Tan’s performance was stunning, a feast for the eyes. Fu is greatly appreciative," Fu Nian changed the subject.

"Thank you for your compliment, Master Fu."

Yu Qingtan smiled sweetly, causing a ripple in Fu Nian’s heart.

"Miss Qing Tan, my visit this time is to bid you farewell." Fu Nian gathered his thoughts and said.

"Farewell? Are you leaving Suichuan Immortal City?"

"Correct, I have decided to go on a journey in search of opportunities. My current strength is still too weak, and seeking revenge is hopeless."

Fu Nian had two alternate identities in Suichuan Immortal City, so he watched Yu Qingtan perform for two days. However, it was time for him to leave.

Yu Qingtan kept silent, and after a few moments, she said, "Then, I wish you a smooth journey. When will you be leaving?"

"Right now."

"So soon?"

"Yes, let’s part here."

After saying this, Fu Nian stood up and walked out.

Yu Qingtan also stood up.

"I’ll see you out!"

When the two reached the door, the sound of the watchman’s drum sounded not far away.

"This is far enough, you should head back," Fu Nian said.

"Before parting, let me gift you a poem."

"Stars and bright moon, the north wind blows, silent night, cold winter, the watch drum urges. Love and hatred, countless tales, Tian Xiang has a maiden waiting for your return."

Yu Qingtan recited softly.

Fu Nian did not say anything else but his look at Yu Qingtan changed slightly.

Then, he turned and left.

You Xiwang, who had been secretly observing, saw Fu Nian leave and went home as well.

Back inside the house, Yu Qingtan got goosebumps all over her body and then opened the system panel.

As expected, Affection Value +10, and there was one more line on the list of Devotees.

[Fu Nian, Foundation Establishment early stage, 1000 Spirit Stones for fifteen minutes.]

"It’s all for the Affection Value; the system forced me. Master Fu, please don’t blame me in the future!" Yu Qingtan said to herself.

She and Fu Nian were old acquaintances. It would be a waste not to get Affection Value before parting.

She flipped through the list of Devotees.
