My Fairy Growth System

"Qing Shuang, Shen Wan, greets Venerable Qishui!"

Inside the Pagoda Branch of the Sect of Commoners, Yu Qingtan and Shen Wanning met with the Sect of Commoners' Venerable Qishui, Yu Qishui.

Venerable Qishui was a middle-aged woman dressed in simple attire, who spoke with a kind face to the two, "No need for formalities. The two of you appear rather young to already possess such strength. It is indeed fortunate for our sect that you could join us. May I ask your ages and origins?"

Venerable Qishui bore none of the airs and momentum of a Nascent Soul True Immortal, feeling completely different from the Nascent Soul True Immortals Yu Qingtan had met in the past.

"We are both under thirty, both from a background of loose cultivators. It was only through some fortunate opportunities that we have reached our current states."

Although it was possible not to answer, Yu Qingtan still shared their circumstances and did not lie.

Seventeen years old, is indeed under thirty.

The one joining the Wendao Sect was Yu Qingtan; it had nothing to do with her, Qing Shuang.

"Not yet thirty and already a mid-stage Golden Core loose cultivator, young friend Qing indeed possesses extraordinary talents and astounding fortune. However, the matter of the Holy Maiden you mentioned is somewhat difficult to execute."

Yu Qingtan was not surprised and said, "I know you don't believe in my methods, but I can take a great oath. If I do not develop the sect to over one billion followers within three years, my cultivation will no longer advance an inch.

Furthermore, you can observe my abilities first, and after half a year, decide whether to appoint me as the Holy Maiden. How does that sound?"

Although Venerable Qishui did not know where Yu Qingtan's confidence stemmed from, after pondering for a while, she said, "The matter of the Holy Maiden, I will report to the Sect Leader for him to personally decide. However, as far as I am concerned, if you really can achieve it, I have no objections to the position of the Holy Maiden. You may go ahead and try. However, the sect cannot offer you much support for the time being."

"Good! For now, just grant me the right to recruit followers!"

"That is naturally no problem!"

...

"Qing Tan, how do you plan to develop the sect followers?"

After bidding farewell to Venerable Qishui, Yu Qingtan and the other headed in the direction of Yao Ri Immortal City.

On the flying boat, Shen Wanning asked Yu Qingtan.

"A sage once said, with Spirit Stones, ghosts can grind the mill; with Spirit Stones, the mill can grind ghosts. With Spirit Stones, there's no fear of a lack of people joining."

"But nine hundred million followers, even if each person needs only one Spirit Stone, that would require nine hundred million Spirit Stones. Where would we find so many Spirit Stones? Besides, the Sect Leader is a God Transformation Honorable, surely he isn't lacking in Spirit Stones. If Spirit Stones could develop followers, then why are there only a little over one hundred million now?" Shen Wanning was puzzled.

"I don't currently have that many Spirit Stones, but I can get that many. As for the God Transformation Honorables, they are actually also in need of Spirit Stones. The higher the cultivation, the more resources needed for cultivation, and they cannot just recklessly plunder resources based on their cultivation levels.

Besides, just having Spirit Stones is not enough; methods are needed as well."

Yu Qingtan explained.

As the two were chatting, suddenly, Yu Qingtan's True Disciple Identity Jade from the Wendao Sect emitted a red light.

This was a special feature of the Identity Jade, indicating an urgent summons from the sect, which could be received anywhere in the Southeast Region.

Yu Qingtan had last taken up a sect task to investigate the movements of the Extreme Path Demon Sect cultivators in Baihe Immortal City. Because she encountered the Nascent Soul cultivator Niu Lanshan, she had not formally returned to the Wendao Sect.

As for Yan Xi, Xiang Yiyi, and Wen Jin, they had safely returned to the Tanxian Elegant Courtyard under the escort of Tianxiang Valley's Golden Core Cultivator, True Person Zixin.

Yu Qingtan asked Shen Wanning to enter the System Space first, then she vanished into the ground. Deep beneath the earth, she dissolved her physical body and then reformed in the room of the Tan Immortal Fan Club in Wendao Immortal City.

Without alerting Hao Can and the others, Yu Qingtan left Wendao Immortal City quietly and flew towards Mount Wendao.

With her current strength, the Gang Wind of the Wendao Abyss posed no threat to her.

"Qing Tan, you're back; come inside quickly!" As she approached the Water Vein, the voice of Star River True Monarch entered her mind, and Yu Qingtan hurriedly entered the Hall of Waterways.

"I pay my respects to Master Uncle!"

"Why have you only returned now? Did you encounter any trouble?" Even though Yu Qingtan had arrived in one piece, Star River True Monarch still inquired.

"I encountered an early Nascent Soul cultivator in a green robe, who had a Sky Stepping Green Ox Spirit Beast. For some reason, he attacked me, and it took all my means to escape!"

Yu Qingtan explained and took out a Memory Stone, replaying the image of the Nascent Soul cultivator for Star River True Monarch to see.

The Memory Stone is a special formation stone that is engraved with the Sound-recording Array Method, the Sound-recording Array Method, and Projection Array. It is quite difficult to create, and naturally, Yu Qingtan acquired this one from Qian Yongduo.

When she encountered True Monarch Niu Lanshan, Yu Qingtan took the opportunity to record a moment.

"This person, I have never heard of! However, since he dared to ambush a True Disciple of my Wendao Sect, I will definitely investigate this thoroughly.

However, Qing Tan, the fact that you could escape from his clutches shows your remarkable abilities, and I am much more at ease knowing you're out and about," said Star River True Monarch with considerable relief.

"Master Uncle, the urgent summons from the sect, is there something important?"

"Indeed, there is an urgent matter, and it is also a happy one. Yesterday, Tai Shang Elder A Sword Venerable and Invincible True Monarch from Cangqiong Sword Sect visited our sect, with the main purpose of proposing a marriage. The person proposed to is you, Qing Tan. What do you think of this offer?"

Star River True Monarch said to Yu Qingtan with a smile.

"Ah?" Yu Qingtan was a bit stunned. To think there was someone proposing marriage out of the blue, and she remembered that this was not the custom in the Cultivation World!

"Ah? Invincible True Monarch and you are both cultivators of exceptional talent. You've met Invincible True Monarch before, and I actually think you two are quite well matched," he continued.

"Master Uncle, although Invincible True Monarch is admirable, my heart is dedicated to the great Dao, with no interest in the affairs between men and women," said Yu Qingtan with a hint of helplessness.

"This way is also good," Master Uncle said with a look of approval and continued, "However, since A Sword Venerable and Invincible True Monarch have traveled from afar, it would be polite for you to meet them."

A Sword Venerable, Shentu Yijian, a Supreme Elder of Cangqiong Sword Sect, the master of Invincible True Monarch, a mid-stage Transformed Spirit Cultivator.

For such figures to visit personally, it would indeed be inappropriate for Yu Qingtan to avoid meeting them.

As nightfall approached, they decided to meet the guests the following day.

Yu Qingtan returned to the Tanxian Elegant Courtyard, where Yan Xi, Xiang Yiyi, Shui Qingrou, Xiang Ru, Gao Yue, Ni Shuyu, and Wen Jin were not in seclusion, and so Yu Qingtan dined with them that evening.

As for Shen Wanning, since she was still considered an outsider in the Wendao Sect and Yu Qingtan did not yet want to reveal that she had rescued her from the Extreme Path Demon Sect, she did not let her come out, instead asking her to stay in her own Cultivation Room for now.

During the dinner, Xiang Yiyi asked somewhat nervously, "Qing Tan, I heard that Invincible True Monarch has come to propose to you. Will you accept?"

For Xiang Yiyi, she naturally didn't want what she couldn't have, especially when it involved a man she disliked, even if he was the fabled Invincible True Monarch.

The others also watched Yu Qingtan intently, their thoughts varying.

Yu Qingtan spoke candidly, "Of course not. Haven't I said my goal is to ascend to immortality and pursue the Dao? Love would only slow down my sword-drawing speed."

Xiang Yiyi felt greatly relieved, and the others looked at Yu Qingtan with admiration.
