My Fairy Growth System

When Supreme Invincible's words fell, everyone couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.

A middle-grade Dao artifact, what concept was that? It was on par with a Fifth Stage existence, only God Transformation Honorables were able to fully unleash the might of a middle-grade Dao artifact.

Not all God Transformation Honorables possessed a middle-grade Dao artifact; for example, Venerable Houde didn't have one.

A middle-grade Dao artifact must possess an Artifact Spirit. As long as there was enough Spirit Stones, the middle-grade Dao artifact could autonomously exhibit Fifth Stage combat power.

That meant that Supreme Invincible's first and second betrothal gifts combined equated to a Fifth Stage combat force.

Yu Qingtan had seen middle-grade Dao artifacts, including the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm's Thousand Beasts Mountain, the Blood God Cult ruins' Blood God Mountain, the Canglong tribe's Canglong Gate, and the Wendao Sect's Ten Extremes Disc.

Previously, the Gold Sigil Palace in Divine Rune Honored One's cave dwelling was also merely an inferior Dao artifact.

As for the Dao Fishing Rod and the Copy Net that Yu Qingtan obtained within the Blood God Cult ruins, they were the most inferior, without Artifact Spirits—mere inferior Dao artifacts.

Almost all the members of Wendao Sect were intently fixated on the second box, which contained the Tianxiang Pavilion, bland on the outside yet somewhat pretty.

To Yu Qingtan's mind, it was just a middle-grade Dao artifact. She believed she could get one herself in the future.

However, her mood was somewhat heavy.

The betrothal gifts Supreme Invincible presented were more for Wendao Sect than for her personally.

Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones were, in general terms, more than what a Golden Core Cultivator could spend in a short amount of time.

She couldn't actually make much use of a middle-grade Dao artifact for the time being.

However, this was an opportunity for Wendao Sect to strengthen itself.

Last time, during the calamity of the Sea Clan, had Wendao Sect had an additional Fifth Stage combat power, the losses would have been much smaller.

After the crowd was shocked for a dozen or so breaths, Supreme Invincible opened the last box, which contained a black fruit, pitch-black like a lump of coal.

"The third item is a Fifth Stage Origin Fruit, the Dark Origin Fruit."

As Supreme Invincible's words fell, Venerable Shenfeng and Venerable Houde suddenly appeared next to this box, carefully examining the coal-like fruit.

Comprehending a Dao is one of the basic requirements for advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage; sensing an Origin is one of the basic requirements for advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage.

An Origin Fruit is a treasure that can help cultivators sense the Origin.

The Dark Origin Fruit, as its name suggests, is for helping sense the Dark Origin.

Yu Qingtan's Five-Star Ascension Tree, if cultivated to the Fifth Stage, would bear Fifth Stage Ascension Fruits with the effect of Origin Fruits.

With this Dark Origin Fruit, the Dark Vein of Wendao Sect could look forward to the emergence of another Divine Transformation Cultivator. If Zhiqin Honored One, the head of the Dark Vein, obtained it, his chances of advancing to the Deification Mid Stage would greatly increase.

At this moment, the crowd noticed that beside Venerable Houde, a pitch-black humanoid object appeared, with even the eyeballs ink-black, it was the Honored Zhiqin known as Black Zhiqin.

The three boxes of Supreme Invincible were not ordinary goods, capable of blocking Divine Sense probing and preventing the aura of treasures from leaking out.

However, as the chest opened, Zhiqin Honored One, who was originally in seclusion, sensed the aura of the Dark Origin Fruit, like a bee sensing sweet honey, and rushed over immediately.

Feeling Zhiqin Honored One's desire for the Dark Origin Fruit, Venerable Shenfeng quickly sent a voice transmission explaining the situation at hand.

With the presence of a Divine Transformation Mid Stage Cultivator known as One Sword Honorable, Zhiqin Honored One had to suppress his greed and offer salutations to the guest.

"Wendao Sect's Zhiqin Honored One greets One Sword fellow Daoist and the young friend Wu Di."

"Zhiqin fellow Daoist is courteous." One Sword Honorable revealed a smile that suggested he held all the aces.

"Fairy Qingtan, these three betrothal gifts are a token of Wu's sincerity. I wonder if the fairy would accept them?" Wu Di True Lord also flashed a confident smile.

Yu Qingtan was somewhat speechless. Although Wu Di True Lord was wealthy, handsome, and a bachelor with many offerings, she had been a pure-hearted man in her previous life; how could she possibly be with a man?

But the gazes of those from Wendao Sect, especially Zhiqin Honorable One, put her under great pressure.

It was unclear how the Cangqiong Sword Sect was willing to spend so much. Despite the fact that Yu Qingtan becoming the dao companion of an undefeatable True Lord did not mean she would belong to the Cangqiong Sword Sect—she would still be considered from Wendao Sect.

Actually, these items were personally from Wu Di True Lord and were not essential for the Cangqiong Sword Sect to retain, which is why the betrothal gifts were so significant.

Yu Qingtan took a deep breath and then spoke.

"I thank Wu Di True Lord for his generosity, but Qingtan has resolved not to seek a dao companion. Please take back these treasures."

Upon hearing these words of rejection again, the smiles on Wu Di True Lord and One Sword Honorable disappeared.

"Oh dear, my good brother got rejected again! But it's okay, Ah Ji will take good care of brother!" In the mind of the undefeatable True Lord, Ah Ji's giggling voice echoed once more.

"Shut up!" the undefeatable True Lord roared in his mind.

"Fairy Qingtan, although your talent is peerless, you are still only at the Golden Core Mid Stage. You should consider the consequences of offending a Divine Transformation Mid Stage." One Sword Honorable directly threatened.

"Qingtan, what's wrong with Wu Di True Lord? He can help you progress more smoothly and further on your path, and he himself is flawless. Plus, if you agree, I would protect your path for a hundred years."

Zhiqin Honored One tried to persuade her, as he really wanted that Dark Origin Fruit.

"Qingtan, you should reconsider it," Houde Honored One also advised. Only Venerable Shenfeng remained silent.

Yu Qingtan felt indignant, but she was no longer the young girl from Tianxiang Pavilion.

She took a deep breath, looked at Wu Di True Lord and said, "True Lord is indeed perfect, it's just that my heart is devoted to the Dao. Moreover, I am confident that my talent far surpasses yours, and I do not believe my path requires your assistance to advance.

But it seems hard for you to agree. So, let's do this: I am still young. Let's make a ten-year agreement. In ten years, we shall have a fight. If you win, I will agree to be your dao companion. If I win, these betrothal gifts will serve as stakes. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Di True Lord's eyes shone brighter and he laughed, "Good! Worthy of being the peerless Fairy Qingtan, worthy of being the person I, Wu Di True Lord, have chosen. What a spirit! In ten years' time, I will surely be at the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Even if you possess the legendary Immortal Spirit Root or belong to the ten great Immortal Bodies, I do not believe you can defeat me in ten years. If I were to refuse such a challenge, it would only show my pettiness."

"Haha, Fairy Qingtan is indeed extraordinary. This arrangement is marvelous. However, no cheating with anything that accelerates time!" One Sword Honorable also laughed heartily, clearly thinking that Yu Qingtan was bound to lose, thus adding a clause to prevent her from cheating.

"Of course, I will calculate time by bone age, taking this top-grade Spirit Stone as witness."

Yu Qingtan said, taking a top-grade Spirit Stone from the first chest and making a Heavenly Oath according to the terms of the agreement.
