My Fairy Growth System

Chapter 271: The World is Full of Hardships



Xu Jiayin was just an ordinary disciple of the Extreme Path Demon Sect's Earth Peak, and he had no means like Blood Tether to track him. However, there was a Soul Lamp within the Extreme Path Demon Sect.

The news of Xu Jiayin's demise reached the Xu family, which was met with wails of grief from top to bottom.

Murong Yuanzhong, a deeply wronged creditor who had lent a substantial amount of Spirit Stones to Xu Jiayin, visited the Xu family at the first opportunity, pressing them to seize the Xu family's properties.

At the critical moment, "Xu Kexin" emerged from seclusion and arrived at the Xu family, declaring that she would repay the Spirit Stones Xu Jiayin owed.

Considering that "Xu Kexin" was a Third Stage Refinement Craftsman, Murong Yuanzhong agreed to the proposal.

After Murong Yuanzhong left, the Xu family unanimously elected "Xu Kexin" as the new Family Head of the Xu family.

The following day, the Extreme Path Demon Sect issued a call to arms, mobilizing its forces and elite Cultivators to mount a campaign against the forces under the Ba Serpent Clan in the Yunhua Mountain Range.

Among the Ba Serpent Clan, there was only Bachahei, a Fifth Stage Demon Venerable.

After its annihilation, as long as no Divine Transformation Cultivator intervened, other Cultivators below Divinity Transformation raiding their territory would be in line with the tacit agreement between the two races.

"Xu Kexin," disguised by Yu Qingtan, did not participate but instead took on even more tasks of artifact refinement.

Recently, her Affection Value had reached over a hundred thousand, so she exchanged it for a Fourth Stage Skill Upgrade Card, which she applied to her artifact refining skills.

Her artifact refining technique was directly advanced to Fourth Stage Minor Accomplishment.

The time it took her to complete these artifact refining tasks was only five percent of what the outside world assumed she needed.

Therefore, "Xu Kexin," who was secluded for artifact refining, had plenty of time for other matters.

Using her Nascent Soul Stage power, she refined the over one hundred scales of Bachahei into a Supreme Treasure-grade shield, named the Ba Serpent Black Armor Shield.

She had only refined it simply; if her artifact refining skills were further improved or if she found more high-grade Refinement Materials, she could upgrade it to a Taoist Instrument.

...

Blood Puppet Immortal City, the Immortal City directly under the control of the Blood Marionette Sect.

The shanty area outside the Immortal City was truly covered with shanties. Loose Cultivators made a living by mining, farming, laboring, and so on, every day.

The Spirit Stones they earned were barely enough to maintain their livelihoods, and many had already given up their Qi Cultivation, striving every day for a faint hope: that a descendant with a high-quality Spirit Root might emerge among them.

In the basement of a new medical hall called the Shuangning Medical Hall, nine shanty area Loose Cultivators were listening to a young woman speak.

"Thank you all for coming to this meeting I organized. My purpose in gathering you here is simple: to invite you to join my Sect of Commoners."

"Physician Qing, my life was saved by you, and you also provided a hundred Spirit Stones to my family. I've never seen so many Spirit Stones in my life. Not just joining the Sect of Commoners—even if you asked me to scale a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, I wouldn't frown," one person said.

"Wang Jian is right, Physician Qing. You brought my son back to life, and I, Lu Xiang, owe you my life. Whatever you say goes," another added.

The rest of the crowd also voiced their support with clamor.

"That's right, Physician Qing, you helped save my brother, who was nearly reduced to a mining slave. From now on, I, Wu Tian, will follow you. But what exactly is this Sect of Commoners? I've never heard of it," asked the last person.

"I appreciate everyone's support. You all know my character, and naturally, I would not harm all of you.

The Sect of Commoners is an organization primarily composed of Loose Cultivators. The ultimate goal of the organization is to liberate the lower-class Loose Cultivators, eliminate exploitation and oppression, and create a fair and just Cultivation World.

Wang Jian, you are a cultivator with three spiritual roots, but still only at the sixth level of Qi cultivation at over eighty years of age, making a living by supplying fodder to the Zhao family's tricycles horses.

Not long ago, the young son of the family head of the Zhao family played a prank and added a laxative to the drinking water for the tricycles horses, causing all of them to suffer from diarrhea. You were beaten within an inch of your life and thrown out of the Blood Puppet Immortal City.

Lu Xiang, you have four spiritual roots and are at the second level of Qi cultivation. You have been driving a carriage in the Blood Puppet Immortal City for over thirty years.

Last year, you spent all your savings to buy your own tricycle horse carriage, but it was confiscated by the Enforcement Team less than a month later for not meeting the standards.

Your twenty-year-old son, full of youthful vigor, went to reason with the Enforcement Team, and was also beaten within an inch of his life and thrown out of the Blood Puppet Immortal City.

...

Wu Tian, you and your brother Wu Fa both have four spiritual roots and rented the Zhu family's spiritual fields to plant White Crystal Rice for thirty years, but you're still only at the third level of Qi cultivation.

A few days ago, the grandson of the Zhu family's elder killed Wu Fa's fiancée and later, the Enforcement Team arrested Wu Fa, blaming him for the murder on the basis of his name and condemned him to become a mine slave.

Although I rescued him, he is still immersed in the grief of losing his fiancée."

Yu Qingtan, masquerading as Physician Qing, recounted their experiences one by one, causing each of them to fill with rage and clench their fists.

"Are the sufferings you endure something you were born to suffer?

It is not so, nor should it be so. It is caused by the unfair and unjust world of cultivation.

You may say that if your descendants have a cultivation seed with good potential, they can change everything and become the masters.

But I must tell you a cruel reality, that possibility is extremely low.

Most of the blood puppets of the humans from the Blood Marionette Demon Sect, human corpses from the Yin Corpse Demon Sect for their refinement, human cauldrons for the cultivators of the Sect of Commoners, and so on, mostly come from the more promising members of the lower-class loose cultivators.

There are also techniques like the Base-Seizing Great Technique, Soul Constraint, and so on. Even if your descendants have excellent single spiritual roots, they may not be able to make a name for themselves."

Yu Qingtan continued to state facts and reason with them.

"Physician Qing, do we really have no hope of turning over a new leaf?" Wang Jian asked with difficulty.

"With this exploitation and oppression present, I can only say the hope is slim!"

"Physician Qing, surely the lower-class loose cultivators within the territories of the orthodox sects are different, right?" Lu Xiang asked next.

"Ha, it's about the same, although your situation is indeed a bit better than theirs. After all, orthodox sects need to maintain a facade of decency, but the dirt and darkness behind the scenes are the same, suffocating for the lower-class cultivators."

Yu Qingtan said with a cold laugh, having visited many Immortal Cities and seen the cruel truths of the cultivation world.

If she had not crossed over, the original host would have become an outer disciple of Tianxiang Pavilion, entertaining guests every day, or become the concubine of Luo Xiang, a tool for venting his desires.

Shen Wanning would also have been used as a cauldron by the Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel, harvested until death.

They would also propagate that the cultivators within the Demon Sects are living in dire straits, and by comparison, you live like immortals.

Little do they know, they are just placating the lower-class loose cultivators by comparing which is worse; the lives of the lower-class loose cultivators could not be terrible if not for that.

Just take the housing loan policy, for example. The interest rate set by Yu Qingtan in Suichuan Immortal City is 0.8 percent, but the rates in most other Immortal Cities are much higher than this, and within the Demon Sects, they are ridiculously high.

"Physician Qing, if we join the Sect of Commoners, can we change all of this?"

After hearing Yu Qingtan's words, the crowd felt a deep despair, and Wu Tian couldn't help but ask.
