My Fairy Growth System

Inside Tianxiang Valley, Qing Shuang opened her eyes, which were filled with a deep, cold glint.

Previously, when Yu Qingtan self-destructed, it naturally wasn't a real explosion of her own Golden Core. Self-destructing one's Golden Core was akin to suffering a mortal injury; before that, the clone would automatically perish.

What Yu Qingtan detonated was a Golden Core from a mid-stage Golden Core assassin's Dark Cone she got from Misty Rain Tower. The method of detonation was learned during her interactions with True Lord Changwan and True Lord Ziqing, and it wasn't difficult.

However, the power fell short compared to a cultivator's self-detonation of their own Golden Core, so Yu Qingtan used the Golden Core of a mid-stage Golden Core assassin to simulate the self-destruction of her own early-stage Golden Core.

A moment before the explosion, Yu Qingtan did not forget to store the Dragon Scale Soft Armor and the divine Self-Hiding Pearl into the System Space.

Subsequently, Yu Qingtan sustained a mortal injury and automatically perished.

"Murong Haokong, You Anxiang, you wait!"

Qing Shuang gritted her teeth in anger, and then meticulously examined her Sea of Consciousness with her Divine Sense, finally discovering a strange energy in a corner, faintly scented with an extremely light fragrance.

Yu Qingtan performed the Purification Spell, to no avail; the Third Stage Purification Spell had a limited effect on the soul in the Sea of Consciousness.

Yu Qingtan then took out the Roaming Zither and played the Soul Cleansing Melody, casting the Soul Cleansing Technique. Unfortunately, the strange energy remained unmoved.

Her Soul Cleansing Technique was just a Second Stage spell.

After long contemplation, Yu Qingtan came up with an idea.

She played Devil's Penetrating Sound on the Roaming Zither against herself, and instantly felt an immense headache as her Sea of Consciousness shook violently.

As expected, a mysterious fluctuation arose from the depths of her Sea of Consciousness, sweeping through its entirety, dispelling the Devil's Sound and incidentally removing the strange scent as well.

This was a way to use the power of 'System Dad' to help her remove the measures left by True Lord Anxiang, as 'System Dad' seemed to only act when Yu Qingtan's soul suffered direct injury or danger.

With the hidden danger eliminated, Yu Qingtan took a long breath of relief.

In All-World Academy, within the Fourth Stage Spirit Vein Cultivation Room where Yu Qingtan had previously cultivated, she appeared out of thin air underneath the bed.

This was naturally because she had left a Soul Marking Seal there as well.

As long as she remained an Honored Lecturer at All-World Academy, this courtyard protected by a Fourth Stage Formation would belong to her, free from disturbance.

She decided to allow Qing Shuang to cultivate in secret here, or rather, have the one responsible for the secluded cultivation be called Qing Shuang.

Being only at the Golden Core Stage and primarily using Spirit Dew for cultivation, the amount of external Spiritual Energy absorbed was negligible compared to the Spiritual Energy of the Fourth Stage Spirit Vein chamber; hence, there was no need to worry about anyone discovering her secluded cultivation.

Back in Tianxiang Valley, the Yu Qingtan responsible for wandering outside used the Breath-Concealing Technique and Invisibility Technique to quietly leave her small courtyard and Tianxiang Valley.

Afterward, she sent Message-Transmitting Flying Swords to Xiang Yu and Li Xingruo, respectively.

Xiang Yu had already returned to Tianxiang Immortal City, but Xiang Ru had stayed at the Fragrant Concubine Pavilion for cultivation. Yu Qingtan arranged some tasks for Xiang Yu.

She sent a Message-Transmitting Flying Sword to Li Xingruo to ask her to inform Yan Xi of her safety after Yan Xi returned to the valley and to protect her from being harassed by the Yan family.

From the situation in the Teleportation Formation earlier, except for the unlucky one, Yan Xi and the others should be fine.

Not directly sending a message to Yan Xi was because Tianxiang Valley was too far from Wendao Immortal City, beyond the range of the Message-Transmitting Flying Sword.

After receiving the return Message-Transmitting Flying Sword, Yu Qingtan cast the Reincarnation Mantra, transforming into the appearance of a female passerby she had seen before in All-World Academy, and dressed in common female cultivator robes.

Afterward, she turned into a beam of Escape Light, heading in the direction of the Yunhua Mountain Range.

After advancing to the Golden Core Stage, she could fly through the sky without needing to ride a sword.

Yu Qingtan was heading to the Yunhua Mountain Range mainly because she sensed that Xiao Tao in the System Space was about to awaken. Stay updated with empire

The time flow in the Spirit Beast Pouch and System Space conformed to the outside world, with the Spiritual Beasts inside merely in a state of slumber.

Last time, after Xiao Tao digested the Demon Core of the Sky-Rending Eagle Nine Skies, he woke up having reached the peak of a Second Stage Demonic Beast in the late stage and helped Yu Qingtan kill the Dark Cone.

Yu Qingtan simply fed Xiao Tao the inner cores of the Third Stage Sea Mantis Shrimp and the Mantou Crab, and Xiao Tao soon fell into a deep sleep again to digest the energy within.

This time upon awakening, Xiao Tao should be breaking through to the Third Stage.

Soon, Yu Qingtan arrived at a small hillside, looking at a towering peak in the distance.

That peak was none other than Skyscraping Ridge, the old lair of the Sky-Rending Eagle clan. The sword-cut-like cliff created by Feng Buji's attack was on one side of Skyscraping Ridge, faintly visible.

When Yu Qingtan had last visited Wendao Sect, she also discussed the outcome of Feng Buji's pursuit of the eagles Po Kong and Ji Kong.

Feng Buji caught up with Ji Kong and killed him but allowed Po Kong to escape.

Thus, there was only one Third Stage Heavenly Demon, Po Kong, remaining on Skyscraping Ridge at this time.

Yu Qingtan used the Breath-Concealing Technique and Invisibility Technique, moving towards Skyscraping Ridge with the Earth Escape Skill.

Since the Earth Escape Skill was extremely versatile, Yu Qingtan had spent a lot of time mastering it. She was now at the Third Stage of mastery and could burrow up to two li underground.

Soon, Yu Qingtan reached the underground of a cavern dwelling at the top of Skyscraping Ridge.

Through the Clear Spirit Eyes, Yu Qingtan saw the demonic power aura of a Third Stage Heavenly Demon, which was most likely Po Kong.

The cavern dwelling was quite crude without any formations, just very spacious, and Po Kong was resting in his original form with his eyes closed.

Yu Qingtan sneaked to the area under where Po Kong rested.

Without warning, an almost colorless fine needle shot out from the ground at incredible speed, piercing through Po Kong's fluffy feathers.

It was the Geng Metal Shadowless Needle, a high-quality Third Stage Ancient Treasure from Real Man Dong Xu.

If there was a chance to ambush, Yu Qingtan would certainly not attack as directly as Feng Buji did. She had no need to maintain any sort of gentlemanly demeanor.

"Screech~"

Po Kong stretched his neck, opened his beak, and let out a painful screech, instinctively reaching back with his wings.

But it was already too late; with the Canglan Sword in hand, Yu Qingtan immediately executed her killing move, Canglan Water Dragon Break, as the ferocious water dragon charged towards the wound inflicted by the Geng Metal Shadowless Needle.

Under the combined attack of the Geng Metal Shadowless Needle, six Canglan Flying Swords, and countless tiny Water Blades, Po Kong's body was torn asunder, with flesh and blood scattering in all directions.

A Demon Core the size of a pigeon's egg flew out of his disintegrating body from his mouth, heading towards the cave entrance at high speed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yu Qingtan had anticipated this. A flaming barrier appeared at the entrance, completely sealing it; it was the Nine Pythons Mysterious Fire Cover.

Seeing its path blocked, Po Kong's Demon Core turned around and shot back towards Yu Qingtan at an even faster speed, its demonic power surging violently inside.

"Boom~"

The Demon Core exploded ten zhang away from Yu Qingtan, shaking the entirety of Skyscraping Ridge as if an earthquake had struck.

Yu Qingtan's figure vanished in the explosion, and the entire cavern dwelling collapsed, sending debris rolling down the mountain.

Po Kong self-destructed because he knew that even if he attacked Yu Qingtan with his Demon Core, it would be impossible for him to kill a Golden Core Cultivator who had meticulously planned an ambush on him, opting instead for mutual destruction.

Unfortunately, Po Kong miscalculated.

Yu Qingtan reappeared under the hillside where she was before.

Of course, she considered the possibility of Po Kong's self-destruction, so she had left a Soul Marking Seal there.
