My Fairy Growth System

The next day, Yu Qingtan, dressed in a long yellow gown adorned with a variety of floral patterns, came to the Heavenly Inquiry Hall accompanied by Venerable Xinghe and True Lord Rou Jia.

True Lord Rou Jia arrived at the Tanxian Elegant Courtyard early in the morning. After all, she was considered an elder to Yu Qingtan, and it was best that she be present for marriage proposals. Besides, she was quite in favor of this particular match.

"Master, I returned to the sect late last night and regret not being able to meet you in time!"

"It's not a problem; these are minor matters. This time, Venerable Wudi has come to propose marriage. What are your thoughts?"

"Master, I wish to focus solely on the path of cultivation."

"I find Venerable Wudi quite suitable, not only strong and handsome with good character, but his presence would aid rather than hinder your pursuit of the Dao," True Lord Rou Jia persuaded, much like a mother urging her daughter to marry.

"Master, my mind is made up. Also, during my visit to the Lotus Gate, I met with Fairy Nansi, who has stepped down as sect leader and gone to Qunfang Pavilion to cultivate. Fairy Nansi asked me to tell Master that once she has formed her Nascent Soul at the Qunfang Pavilion, she will come to seek you out."

Upon hearing this, True Lord Rou Jia's expression became unnatural, and she awkwardly said, "Ah, Nansi... it's been a long time since I've seen her. Her going to the Qunfang Pavilion is a good thing."

Following that, True Lord Rou Jia did not feel it was appropriate to continue discussing the topic of marriage with Yu Qingtan.

The three of them arrived at the Heavenly Inquiry Hall, where Venerable Shenfeng, Venerable Houde, Sect Master Kongbei Zhenjun, and some of the Nascent Soul elders who had not entered seclusion were all present.

True Lord Yong Li, Yin Cen, Feng Buji, Baili Ya, and Tan Suqin were also in attendance, each accompanied by their respective elders.

"Qing Tan pays respects to Venerable Shenfeng, Venerable Houde, Sect Master, and all seniors!" Yu Qingtan bowed with a lift of her skirt.

"No need for formalities! Please have a seat first," said Venerable Shenfeng, Feng Wuyue.

At this moment, two people walked into the hall from outside.

One was a lean young man in white, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, none other than Venerable Wudi, Wu Di.

The other was a middle-aged man in a white robe, with a sharp gaze and short white beard, likely Venerable Shen Tu Yijian.

Upon seeing Yu Qingtan, Venerable Wudi nodded slightly, and Yu Qingtan responded with a smile.

"Shen Tu Yijian has seen Venerable Shenfeng, Venerable Houde, and Venerable Kongbei, and this must be Fairy Qingtan, truly a peerless beauty," he said.

After exchanging greetings with the three Wendao Sect decision-makers, Venerable Shen Tu Yijian looked at Yu Qingtan and complimented her.

"Wendao Sect's Yu Qingtan pays respects to Venerable Shen Tu Yijian and predecessor Wu Di! Your praises are too kind," Yu Qingtan promptly stood up and returned the greeting.

"My dear disciple, Wu Di, admires Fairy Qingtan and wishes to become Dao companions with her. Yesterday, Venerable Shenfeng said that we need to consider Fairy Qingtan's own wishes. I wonder if Fairy Qingtan might look favorably upon Wu Di?"

Venerable Shen Tu Yijian was straightforward, while Venerable Wudi beside him watched Yu Qingtan with a smile.

Baili Ya was expressionless, Yin Cen looked displeased, his fists clenched tightly.

"Qing Tan thanks both predecessors for your misplaced affections, but I am dedicated to seeking the Dao with all my heart and have no interest in romantic entanglements. I hope you will understand," she said.

Yu Qingtan looked directly at Venerable Shen Tu Yijian, answering with neither subservience nor arrogance.

Hearing this rejection, neither Venerable Shen Tu Yijian nor Venerable Wudi showed any change in their expression. Perhaps they had already heard of Yu Qingtan's dedication to the Dao and thus were not surprised.

"Fairy Qingtan is so young yet shows such a strong commitment to the Dao, which is truly remarkable. However, Fairy Qingtan might be relying too much on her exceptional talent, unaware of the dangers on the path," he said.

Given Fairy Qingtan's talents, reaching Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation might be effortless for her, but the realms beyond that of Void Refinement, Body Integration, and Tribulation Crossing are no longer determined by talent alone, but more so by resources.

Now, within the Central Domain, the competition for high-end resources is particularly fierce. Only with the support of both the Wendao Sect and the Cangqiong Sword Sect will you have a hope of glimpsing the realm of Tribulation Crossing.

Furthermore, for this proposal, we have prepared three dowry gifts, Wu Di."

The Venerable One spoke, his words brimming with confidence.

Yu Qingtan had also heard from True Lord Kongbei that the Wendao Sect, Cangqiong Sword Sect, Star Moon Sect, Red Dust Demon Sect, and Extreme Path Demon Sect were all present within the Central Domain; they were established by the predecessors of these sects.

However, the development of these sects within the Central Domain varied greatly. The Wendao Sect used to be particularly glorious, but it has now declined, with no Transcendance Tribulation Stage elder ancestors. In contrast, the Cangqiong Sword Sect is at its peak, with Transcendance Tribulation Stage elder ancestors seated in power.

As the words of the Venerable One fell, Wu Di Zhenjun stepped forward, waving his right hand lightly; three treasure chests appeared in midair in the great hall.

"Fairy Qingtan, since our parting last time, I have greatly missed you in my heart. Recently, realizing that my heart is tied to the Fairy, I have come to propose, hoping that the Fairy will accept," Wu Di Zhenjun said fervently as he gazed at Yu Qingtan, filled with deep emotion.

However, within Wu Di Zhenjun's mind resounded the voice of Ah Ji.

"Tsk tsk, brother really is a scumbag, genuinely believing that only the most outstanding woman is worthy of him. Previously, you were incessantly fixated on the descended celestial, Xu Fang, then with a single update of the Hundred Flowers List, you fell in love with Fairy Qingtan, whose talent and beauty are unmatched.

You were advised to take her down while she was still at Foundation Establishment, but you were reluctant. Now, maybe she will reject you just like Xu Fang did. Your last confession to Xu Fang was in private, but today is in front of a large crowd. If you are rejected, Wu Di Zhenjun's face will be greatly lost.

It doesn't matter though; Ah Ji will continue to pity and comfort big brother."

Ah Ji, in fact, was the Artifact Spirit of Wu Di Zhenjun's Lifebound Artifact, the Four Seasons Thunder Sword, and no one knew how it developed such a personality.

Wu Di Zhenjun ignored Ah Ji's incessant nagging and continued, "On this trip, I have prepared three dowry gifts. The first is ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

As he said this, the first treasure chest opened, revealing neatly stacked, crystal-clear, flawless spirit stones that emitted a rich Spiritual Energy, far more beautiful than any Spirit Diamond.

Top-Grade Spirit Stones, ten thousand of them, equivalent to ten billion Lower Grade Spirit Stones, with an actual value exceeding fifty billion Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

For the higher grade the Spirit Stone, the scarcer it is, thus demanding a higher premium when exchanged for Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

In Yu Qingtan's System Space, there were only twenty-eight Top-Grade Spirit Stones, most of which were contributions by the bringer of wealth, Qian Yongduo; Yu Qingtan had been reluctant to use them.

Yet Wu Di Zhenjun directly put forth ten thousand.

The onlookers, except for the three God Transformation Honorables and Sect Master Kongbei Zhenjun of the Wendao Sect, everyone else's breathing became somewhat irregular to varying degrees.

The sage once said, with Spirit Stones, one could make ghosts grind grain; with Spirit Stones, one could make the grindstone grind ghosts.

The sage also once said, giving money directly is rather vulgar, but most people can't escape being commonplace.

Yu Qingtan, who was very close, was also dazzled by the pile of Spirit Stones, her breathing disrupted for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

"It's just ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, after all. As someone who keeps up with the Joneses, can't I get those too?"

Wu Di Zhenjun was very pleased with the impact of the ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones and then used the Object Controlling Technique to open the second box, inside of which was a small and exquisite palace.

"The second is a Middle-grade Dao Artifact, the Green Water Palace."
