My Fairy Growth System

Chapter 89: Chapter 89 The Bewilderment Array and Houssein Lei

Qi Rui brought Yu Qingtan to a certain cliff in the Yunhua Mountain Range; this was where Qi Rui temporarily resided in his cave abode.

"Little girl, tell me, what fortunes have you come across?" Qi Rui put away his net, asking leisurely.

At the same time, his Divine Sense took a peek inside Yu Qingtan's Storage Bag and Spirit Beast Pouch.

"What is this trash!" Qi Rui thought with disdain as he tossed them aside.

"Senior Qi, I obtained quite a few marrow stones and Wasteland Crystals inside the Trial Demon Tower, and later during the beast tide, I earned quite a few Merit Points and exchanged them for a Foundation Establishment Pill. Senior Qi, you are a great man of great mercy, can you please spare me?"

Yu Qingtan tried to beg for mercy.

"Ha-ha, you didn't lie after all; your luck is truly extraordinary, even encountering treasures like marrow stones. It's a pity there must be a lot you haven't mentioned yet, all that's left over from grandpa's playthings. You have the Longevity Fruit which can add sixty years to a person's life; do you think I would let you go?"

Qi Rui said with a laugh, his beard quivering, making Yu Qingtan want to punch him in the face.

Qi Rui then took out some Array Flags, setting up the formation as he spoke: "But don't be afraid, I won't get violent. This is a Second Stage high-grade Bewilderment Array, which will make you spill everything you know without harming your soul, much gentler than any Soul Search Technique."

As he finished speaking, amidst the mist, a formation took shape, enveloping a terrified Yu Qingtan.

Soon, Yu Qingtan felt her Divine Sense being suppressed, unable to radiate, her mind becoming groggy and hazy, as if in a dream, her eyes lifeless and unseeing.

Suddenly, from the depths of her Sea of Consciousness, a strange ripple emanated, restoring clarity to Yu Qingtan.

Yu Qingtan immediately guessed that this was the system flexing its power, so she continued to pretend to be dazed and confused.

"What's your name, and how old are you?"

At that moment, Qi Rui's voice entered her ears, as if carrying some sort of magic that made one unable to resist answering truthfully.

"My name is Yu Qingtan, 15 years old."

"Share your experiences, will you?"

"I was taken from Jiang Country to Tianxiang Pavilion in Suichuan Immortal City when I was two years old..."

"Started cultivating the Clear Water Technique and practicing the Exquisite Dance at ten..."

"Became a disciple of the interior tower at fourteen..."

"Entered the Trial Demon Tower, awakened my bloodline inheritance secret arts and received ancestral teachings in dreams..."

"Took the Foundation Establishment Pill and successfully established my foundation yesterday.

Because of being wanted by the Monkey-faced Eagle clan, the Tower Master arranged for Steward Liu to send me to Tianxiang Valley."

Yu Qingtan recounted her experiences truthfully but concealed things like crossing into another world, the system, innate divine skills, Xiao Tao, taking down a branch of Misty Rain Tower, the slaughter in the black market. She attributed her fortunes to bloodline inheritance secret arts and ancestral teachings in dreams.

"That's enough!" Qi Rui was somewhat disappointed; it was just bloodline inheritance secret arts and ancestral teachings in dreams.

Both of these were indeed types of fortunes that existed in the Cultivation World, which he had no way to strip away.

"However, the fact that the Fu family still has remnants and Purification of Soul as well as the Soul Cleansing Technique comes from them is a pity, as they are of no use to me."

Qi Rui reluctantly packed away the Bewilderment Array, knocked Yu Qingtan unconscious, and placed her in a Spirit Beast Pouch.

Before losing consciousness, Yu Qingtan heard Qi Rui muttering to himself, "She's quite talented and delicately beautiful, a pity this old man is too old. Otherwise, I would surely have my way with her."

...

When Yu Qingtan woke up again, she found herself inside a dim cave.

Her cultivation was still sealed, but she could still use her Divine Sense.

Looking out of the cave entrance, it was also located on a steep cliff, with a gray eagle with a monkey-like face standing guard at the entrance.

"This must be the Monkey-faced Eagle! Judging by its size, it should still be at the First Stage."

She tried to activate her Spiritual Power, but she couldn't break through the seal of a false dan cultivator.

"They haven't killed me immediately, so there's still a chance for life!"

Yu Qingtan thought excitedly.

At that moment, the monkey-faced eagle at the door noticed she had awakened and let out a harsh screech.

Soon, a giant monkey-faced eagle with golden hair on its head flew over and transformed into a middle-aged man with a pointy mouth, monkey cheeks, and golden short hair, dressed in a golden robe.

It turned out to be a Third-Stage Heavenly Demon capable of shape-shifting.

The flashy golden-robed middle-aged man walked into the cave and said to Yu Qingtan, "Human girl, was it you who played that what, broken zither that suppressed the divine skills of our clan's youngsters? Play it, let Lord Hou Sairui hear if there's any trick to it."

As he said this, Hou Sairui actually took out Yu Qingtan's storage bag and from it, he pulled out a zither.

It was the Common Zither that Yu Qingtan had purchased.

Facing a Third-Stage Heavenly Demon, Yu Qingtan was very scared, not even bothering to criticize his name.

"Lord Hou, spare my life, I was only following orders previously, I had no choice, I never intended to be an enemy of the nobility."

Yu Qingtan pleaded for mercy, fearing that the demon would kill her on the spot.

Even a grown man would bend or stretch as needed, let alone a woman?

"Just play when I tell you to play, no more nonsense," Hou Sairui said impatiently.

"This humble girl will play for Lord Hou right away."

After speaking, Yu Qingtan sat cross-legged and began to play "Purification of Soul."

Halfway through the piece, Hou Sairui let out a sharp, ear-piercing cry from his mouth.

Yu Qingtan's head buzzed, wanting to faint, but at that moment, an inexplicable fluctuation emerged from the depths of her sea of consciousness, keeping her awake.

Nevertheless, Yu Qingtan still pretended to faint.

"It has some merit, but that's all it is," Hou Sairui said disdainfully.

"Inform the youngsters, we'll have a feast tomorrow, steamed human, this tender-fleshed girl will belong to me," he declared.

After that, Hou Sairui transformed back into a giant eagle and flew away.

These monkey-faced eagles like to eat cooked food, supposedly learnt from that certain someone.

Yu Qingtan, feigning unconsciousness, felt both icy cold and blazing hot inside.

The icy cold was because the monkey-faced eagles wanted to eat her.

The blazing hot was because they weren't eating her immediately.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, figuring that Hou Sairui was far away, Yu Qingtan moved her mind, and a shadow clone appeared.

Indeed, the shadow clone's cultivation level had not been sealed. Experience new tales on M V L

She instantly used Invisibility Technique, Breath-Concealing Technique, and Earth Escape Skill, hiding underground.

The mountain cliff here was mostly made of stone, so Yu Qingtan could only burrow a yard into the earth.

She probed around the cliff face and found that this was a towering Solitary Peak, dotted with many caves where one or two monkey-faced eagles dwelt, though all were only at the First Stage.

Many of the caves also contained humans and some other demonic beasts, some already dead, probably the food for the monkey-faced eagles.

Around her were several higher Solitary Peaks, with monkey-faced eagles occasionally sweeping across the sky.

After the inspection, Yu Qingtan returned to the cave where her body was and then she waited.

The monkey-faced eagle at the cave entrance would occasionally come in to check on Yu Qingtan's state, and when it entered the cave again, three Shadowless Needles were silently shot from the stone wall above and behind.

Even though they were only mid-grade Second Stage magic artifacts, with the enhancement of Yu Qingtan's Foundation Establishment Stage spiritual power, the Shadowless Needles penetrated the back of the monkey-faced eagle's head.

Then, Yu Qingtan, carrying her body, used the Earth Escape Skill to head toward the base of the mountain.
