My Fairy Growth System

Chapter 83: It’s Appropriate to Hold a Lottery at the Peak of Qi Cultivation

After checking the system panel, Yu Qingtan released Xiaotao and fed it a piece of demonic beast meat before taking out the materials for Foundation Establishment she had bought from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and started reading them.

An hour later, she began to ponder over and learn the Illusion Dance Technique.

She was determined to cultivate the Clear Water Technique, practice the Ice Skin Jade Bone Art, master spells like the Water Blade Technique, and grasp the path of Spirit Tailoring...

There were just too many things she needed to cultivate and learn, with activities like playing music, chess, calligraphy, and painting having become mere diversions of late.

It couldn’t be helped—her Fairy Development System wasn’t all-powerful, and she needed to become famous to gain Charm Points and Affection Value. If she didn’t immerse herself in these activities nuts and bolts, who knew when she might be kidnapped by a powerful cultivator to become a concubine or a cultivation cauldron.

Plus, Wanning was still awaiting her rescue.

Over the next eight days, Yu Qingtan’s performance conference went smoothly.

During the rest periods, she was frenetically upskilling and cultivating. She also applied for access privileges to the Tianxiang Pavilion’s Foundation Establishment Stage materials from her sister Gongsun Yurong and consulted Gongsun Yurong numerous times, which gave her a much clearer understanding of the Foundation Establishment process and stage.

On the day the performance conference concluded, the You father and son excitedly divided the Spirit Stones with Yu Qingtan.

For the ten days of performances, Yu Qingtan had received about 120,000 Spirit Stones in tips, of which the You family was entitled to forty percent, making it 48,000 Spirit Stones, with their investment being only about 5,000 Spirit Stones.

You Xiantong immediately suggested giving Yu Qingtan a larger share, but she kindly refused, instructing them to take good care of Jiang Lai instead.

The You father and son naturally agreed without hesitation.

Back at Tianxiang Pavilion, Yu Qingtan intended to give Gongsun Yurong the 24,000 Spirit Stones she had promised to the pavilion.

As it happened, Gongsun Yurong was just about to give Yu Qingtan her share of the profits from the Zhi Lan Pavilion in Suichuan Immortal City—thirty percent of its earnings, five percent from the Zhi Lan Pavilions in Tianxiang Valley and other immortal cities, as well as the profits from the sale of her own practice works, amounting to a total of 54,000 Spirit Stones.

After deducting the performance conference share for the Tianxiang Pavilion, Gongsun Yurong handed over 30,000 Spirit Stones to Yu Qingtan.

Including her war booty previously received from the old man in the purple robe, Master Gao, Yu Qingtan now had a stunning 140,000 Spirit Stones in her possession.

However, what made Yu Qingtan even more excited was the accumulation of her Charm Points and Affection Value.

[Charm Points: 23137]

[Affection Value: 788]

Yu Qingtan asked Gongsun Yurong for leave, stating she needed to go into closed-door cultivation.

Gongsun Yurong naturally agreed.

Inside the Vajra Protective Spirit Array, Yu Qingtan got ready and took out half a drop of the Second Stage Spirit Dew she had obtained from Master Gao.

She consumed it.

Purity of spiritual power rushed madly into Yu Qingtan’s body.

For an ordinary Qi Practitioner, directly consuming Second Stage Spirit Dew for cultivation would result in an explosion like an overinflated balloon.

However, Yu Qingtan’s physical body was on par with someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage; although some of her meridians were throbbing in pain, it was still within her tolerance.

With each circulation of her energy throughout her body, the meridians slowly expanded and strengthened under the impact of the spiritual power, and her Dantian also grew slightly more rapidly.

Several days later, Yu Qingtan slowly opened her eyes and halted her cultivation.

Because that day was New Year’s Eve.

It was also the day of the auction.

Her cultivation level had reached the pinnacle of the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Before emerging from seclusion, Yu Qingtan decided to test her luck with a draw.

In the past, she would count every Charm Point when drawing a prize, but now these points were in abundance.

Even though the performance conference was over, she still had a steady influx of Charm Points every day, which had reached over 24,000 by this time.

She had also looked through that painting album of ’Miss Qing Tan’ that she’d bought for 10 Spirit Stones and, unsurprisingly, found the fabric within to be scanty, hardly appropriate for children.

Thankfully, there were no males depicted in it; otherwise, Yu Qingtan would have considered annihilating that so-called gentleman who posed such a depravity.

Her regular painting album was now a hot commodity in Suichuan Immortal City—Yu Qingtan had essentially become the most dazzling figure in Suichuan Immortal City.

Casting aside all distractions, Yu Qingtan concentrated inwardly.

"Dao Ancestor through the ages!" she murmured, then tapped the hundred-fold draw button continuously.

"Thank you for your patronage x10!"

"Thank you for your patronage x10!"

"Thank you for your patronage x10!"

"One Medium Grade Spirit Stone, thank you for your patronage x9!"

"Thank you for your patronage x10!"

"Thank you for your patronage x10!"

...

"One more time, thank you for your patronage x9!"

...

"A bag of chips, thank you for your patronage x9!"

...

"A calculus book, thank you for your patronage x9!"

...

"A warm clothing catalog, thank you for your patronage x9!"

...

"A toy that girls love to play with, thank you for your patronage x9!"

...

"A second-tier Clear Heart and Few Desires Talisman, thank you for your patronage x9!"

...

Amid Yu Qingtan’s internal rant, this round of the prize draw finally ended.

According to her summary, about one in fifty draws would yield something, but the ratio of useful items was merely one or two out of ten.

This time, the most useful thing was probably that warm clothing catalog. Yu Qingtan had never played this dress-up game from her previous life, but she had heard of it, and the catalog would indeed be helpful in designing clothes.

After she upgraded her Spiritual Tailoring Skill to a major accomplishment and grinded for more than ten days during her last session, she had totally mastered the twenty-seven basic Artifact Bans of first-tier Spiritual Tailor and successfully made a skirt of first-tier high-quality Magic Artifact level, becoming a first-tier high-quality Spiritual Tailor.

After collecting the items, Yu Qingtan chanted in her mind once more.

"Eternal Dao Ancestor!" and then she clicked for one hundred consecutive ten-draws again.

That’s just how extravagant she was, no shortage of Charm Points.

"Thank you for your patronage x10!"

"A bag of dog food, thank you for your patronage x9!"

...

"Love’s Tribute, thank you for your patronage x9!"

...

This round of the prize draw finally yielded another good item.

[Love’s Tribute: Spend Spirit Stones to duplicate a piece of equipment, spell, skill, etc., of a Devotee. Limited to 1 time per Devotee.]

"What a great item! I’m feeling so lucky today, I might as well use all my remaining Charm Points."

As she thought, so she did.

"Eternal Dao Ancestor!" She clicked for forty-five consecutive ten-draws.

"Thank you for your patronage x10!"

...

"Introductory Blue Clear Spiritual Pupil Technique, thank you for your patronage x9!"

...

"It’s the rare pupil technique, I really am lucky today!"

She decisively accepted and learned it, and Yu Qingtan felt a clear vision materialize before her eyes. Channelling spiritual power into her eyes and using the Blue Clear Spiritual Pupil Technique, she could see every detail on the distant wall.

However, the progression value required to reach minor accomplishment was a massive 5000. According to the information in her mind, the introductory Blue Clear Spiritual Pupil Technique was usually sufficient for the Qi Cultivation Stage.

After experiencing the wonderful uses of the pupil technique for a while longer, Yu Qingtan opened the Devotee list.

[Luo Xiang, at the early Foundation Establishment Stage, 1000 Spirit Stones per quarter hour, can duplicate: Major Accomplished Heavenly Fragrance Sword Art, 100,000 Spirit Stones, Major Accomplished Decay and Flourish Technique, 100,000 Spirit Stones;

Fu Nian, at the early Foundation Establishment Stage, 1000 Spirit Stones per quarter hour, can duplicate: Minor Accomplished second-stage Array Breaking Talisman Drawing Skill, 100,000 Spirit Stones, Second-stage Escape Talisman Drawing Method, 50,000 Spirit Stones;

Hao Can, at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, 70 Spirit Stones per quarter hour, can duplicate: Perfectly Accomplished Water Blade Technique, 10,000 Spirit Stones, Major Accomplished Water Curtain Technique, 8,000 Spirit Stones;

...]

"There are plenty of good things to duplicate, but it’s a pity they are quite expensive. I’ll wait until after the auction to consider them!"
