My Fairy Growth System

Soon, following the faint aura left by the yellow-haired Demon King, Yu Qingtan delved 150 miles into the underground.

"Hahaha, it turns out to be a Spirit Stone Mine! Hahaha~"

Yu Qingtan couldn't control his feelings and laughed wildly.

It turned out that this was the temporary cave dwelling where the yellow-haired Demon King practiced, and the cave dwelling was surprisingly built on top of a vein of Spirit Stones.

Spirit Stone Mines do not actively emit spiritual energy, hence they are very difficult to locate, especially those deep underground.

Yu Qingtan released Shen Wanning and shared this great news with her.

"Wanning, I believe this must be the result of your fortuitous luck, hahaha, you truly are a lucky star!"

When the two of them had come out to the wilderness, Yu Qingtan had jokingly said, "With you, a Fortune Cultivation Body with us, we might end up finding some precious heaven-sent materials, just like the Bone Marrow Milk we obtained in the Trial Demon Tower."

And his words came true.

"It's still because of your great strength, Qingtan, possessing such heaven-defying Secret Techniques, that even the Demon King fell by your hand."

Shen Wanning was also very happy.

After a careful inspection of the Spirit Stone Mine, Yu Qingtan discovered that it was a miniature Top-Grade Spirit Stone Mine.

The highest qualities of Spirit Stones produced in mines are Lower, Medium, Upper, and Top-Grade, designated as Lower Grade, Medium Grade, Upper Grade, and Top-Grade Spirit Stone Mines, respectively.

Based on the number of Spirit Stones produced, these mines are further categorized into Micro, Small, Medium, and Large Spirit Stone Mines.

Even though it was just a Micro Spirit Stone Mine, Yu Qingtan was very satisfied.

He transformed into his Nascent Soul Stage miner avatar and casually forged a Third Stage Upper-Grade Treasure Grade mining shovel, beginning his mining work.

After three days, the Yu Qingtan who had gone with Fu Nian to the Divine Rune Honored One's cave dwelling had already obtained the Enlightenment Fruit.

Yu Qingtan then used the System Space to give the Enlightenment Fruit to Shen Wanning, letting her meditate on the Dao next to the Spirit Stone Mine.

Twenty days later, the industrious miner, Fairy Qingtan, finally finished excavating the entire Micro Spirit Stone Mine.

Including the Spirit Stones in the yellow-haired Demon King's Storage Bracelet, Yu Qingtan had collected a total of eight hundred billion Lower Grade Spirit Stones, seven hundred million Medium Grade Spirit Stones, and six million Upper Grade Spirit Stones, with a combined value close to sixty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, or two hundred ninety billion Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

Instantly, Yu Qingtan had the startup capital to develop the Congregation of Life.

Additionally, at the core of the Spirit Stone Mine, Yu Qingtan also harvested a batch of Top-Grade Spirit Origin.

Spirit Origin is the key element for the formation of a Spirit Stone Mine, capable of slowly absorbing spiritual energy and forming Spirit Stones over the course of many years.

It was an object the size of a soccer ball from his previous life, neither solid nor liquid.

This batch of Top-Grade Spirit Origin was equivalent to a hundred bottles of Fourth Stage Spirit Dew.

After mining the Spirit Stone Mine, Shen Wanning also ended her cultivation.

With the help of the Enlightenment Fruit, she successfully condensed a complete Water Dao Domain, it should be noted that she was at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

With his gains, Yu Qingtan took Shen Wanning back to Tanxian Elegant Courtyard using his innate divine abilities.

This body of Yu Qingtan prepared to continue as Qing Shuang, meditating in seclusion at the Tanxian Elegant Courtyard, while Shen Wanning also planned to seclude herself to break through to the Golden Core Stage.

The other body of Yu Qingtan, having finished his trip to the Divine Rune Honored One's cave dwelling with Fu Nian, used his innate divine abilities to come to the Spirit Stone Mine to continue his ensuing plans.

That is to say, he continued as "Xu Jiayin," hunting in the Yunhua Mountain Range, but this time he planned to venture into its deeper regions.

The "Xu Jiayin" that Yu Qingtan disguised did not deliberately hide his tracks this time but went straight to his objective.

On the way, he also encountered other Golden Core Cultivators twice, but they just exchanged glances without any conflict.

A few days later, while Yu Qingtan was on his way, he detected intense fluctuations from magical battles in the distance.

Or rather, it was the terrifying fluctuation of a magical battle.

Yu Qingtan had experienced this kind of fluctuation before; during the Wendao Sect's disaster with the Sea Clan, where Canglong, the Sea Venerable, and the four God Transformation Honorables from the Wendao Sect were battling, such fluctuations were present.

"A Fifth Stage great battle!"

Yu Qingtan hesitated for a moment, then headed towards the direction of the battle.

An hour later, Yu Qingtan, using the Blue Clear Spiritual Pupil Technique, could barely make out the low-altitude area in the distance where a Fifth Stage battle was occurring.

Densely packed demonic beasts were fleeing away from that battlefield, and among them were even Demon Kings.

Yu Qingtan's mind stirred, and he temporarily abandoned the plan to have "Xu Jiayin" meet an unfortunate death at the hands of demonic beasts. Instead, he used "Love's Protection" to raise his cultivation level to the Mid-Nascent Stage, then disguised himself as the green-robed Nascent Soul cultivator who had previously ambushed him, the true master of Niu Lanshan, although Yu Qingtan still did not know his name.

Subsequently, Yu Qingtan cast the Breath-Concealing Technique and the Five Elements Qiankun Escape to continue heading underground towards the site of the battle.

Half an hour later, Yu Qingtan arrived at a location less than a hundred miles from the battlefield.

Based on the map he had purchased earlier, Yu Qingtan recognized that the place where the great battle was happening was called the Viper Forest.

The Vipers were a Demon King-level race in the Yunhua Mountain Range, possessing seven Fourth-Grade Demon Kings but no Fifth Stage Demon Venerable.

One party in the battle was a giant snake, a Fifth Stage early-phase Demon Venerable named Bachahei.

Bachahei's body was seven hundred zhang long, with a girth of dozens of zhang. It was covered in dark scales, and its massive maw seemed capable of swallowing an entire hill.

It was said that Bachahei had a trace of dragon lineage.

However, Bachahei was currently in a dire situation, constantly roaring.

Bachahei was being besieged by eight God Transformation Honorables, and Yu Qingtan recognized from their methods that they were likely the eight Supreme Elders of the Extreme Path Demon Sect.

Six Desires Venerable, Emperor Huang Wan, specialized in the Path of Desire.

Lightning Honorable, Ma Baoguo, specialized in the Thunder Path.

Wan Xiong Honor, Tu Wanxiong, specialized in the Path of Slaughter.

Lai Ming Venerable, Wan Laiming, specialized in the Sound Path.

Peak Venerable, Yang Dianfeng, specialized in the Metal Dao.

Thousand Formation Venerable, Xie Qianqian, specialized in the Formation Path.

Rich Revenge Revered One, Chou Fuzhe, specialized in the Blood Dao.

Ice Jade Venerable, Wan Yan Bingyu, specialized in the Ice Path.

The Extreme Path Demon Sect had a total of ten God Transformation Honorables, but Wen Shouyu, the Guarding Foolishness Revered One who specialized in the Artifact Dao, and Zhu Mu Xiaoxiao, the Falling Wood Revered One who specialized in the Space Path, were not present.

Among the eight participants in the siege, the Ice Jade Venerable was in the Deification Mid Stage, while the others were all at the Initial Nascent Soul Stage.

Furthermore, the eight had formed a Fifth Stage formation, an Eight Level Demon Slaying Formation, trapping Bachahei within.

"Despicable human race, to use Dragon Blood Grass as bait to lure me here, and trap me with a formation. Damn you, how detestable!"

As it turned out, the Dragon Blood Grass that Murong Haokong previously obtained at the base of Black Tungsten Mountain in Lotus Gate had been used by the Extreme Path Demon Sect as bait for the giant snake Demon Venerable.

The Dragon Blood Grass was indeed fatally tempting to Bachahei, who had a hint of dragon lineage.

"Bachahei, if you submit and become our sect's protecting Spiritual Beast, you can still save your life. If you continue to stubbornly resist, then you can only perish here," the Ice Jade Venerable said coldly.

"Dream on if you think I will submit to you! I want to see how you're going to kill me with just this. Once the other Demon Venerables come to my support, I will make sure you pay the price!" Bachahei glared with its huge vertical pupils, resisting the attacks while speaking viciously.
