My Fairy Growth System

Although it wasn't particularly strenuous, she still couldn't find an opportunity to counterattack.

Shuisai Miao's cold brows furrowed as she pulled out a scarlet pill and tossed it into her mouth.

Instantly, her aura surged, and she effortlessly widened the distance between herself and Yu Qingtan.

Shuisai Miao's body roiled with spiritual power as a ferocious water dragon took shape, with her lifebound magical treasure transforming into the claws of the water dragon, launching an attack at Yu Qingtan.

The perfectly mastered Third Stage Water Dragon Spell, the earlier Water Serpent Technique was simply a sign of her incomplete mastery.

Facing the frenzied Shuisai Miao, Yu Qingtan immediately took out the Canglan Umbrella and deployed its powerful move, the Canglan Water Tornado.

The thick water column and the ferocious water dragon collided; although the water column was more powerful, it ultimately lacked agility and sustainable force, managing to obstruct the water dragon for only a moment before its power diminished.

The waters of the Canglan River were manipulated by Yu Qingtan to form a thick water sphere enveloping her.

With her current understanding of the Path of Water, it was easy for her to achieve the effect of the Water Sphere Spell with the Water Curtain Technique.

However, Yu Qingtan's Water Curtain Technique was still only a Second Stage spell and couldn't withstand the Third Stage Water Dragon Spell. But in the time it took to block for a moment, Yu Qingtan had already donned the armor of little Taro and, together with the Canglan Umbrella, fended off the water dragon's assault.

Seeing Yu Qingtan defending herself with equipment from the warriors of Sakura Island, Shuisai Miao controlled the water dragon to attack even more fiercely.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Yu Qingtan's Canglan Umbrella danced in the air, completely blocking the water dragon's attack.

Shuisai Miao grew ruthless, spitting out a breath of her lifebound Golden Core energy onto her lifebound magical treasure.

The water dragon's next claw strike successfully pierced a hole in the surface of the Canglan Umbrella, causing Yu Qingtan much distress.

Yu Qingtan covered the surface of the Canglan Umbrella with the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield to reduce the damage to the umbrella.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield was riddled with holes and completely ruined, and the Canglan Umbrella had over a dozen punctures.

Several times, Shuisai Miao's spear had penetrated through the surface of the umbrella and struck Yu Qingtan, piercing the armor of little Taro and inflicting wounds on Yu Qingtan.

But Yu Qingtan was still wearing dragon scale soft armor, and she only suffered some injuries to her arms, which were only light wounds to someone with her formidable physique and strong recovery abilities.

In contrast, Shuisai Miao's spiritual power was mostly spent, and the effects of the explosive elixir she had taken had passed, with the aftereffects kicking in, causing her water dragon to vanish and her aura fell to that of a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator.

Although unwilling to accept defeat, Shuisai Miao knew she had failed to live up to the high expectations of the great tavern keeper, so she charged towards Yu Qingtan, her spiritual power becoming wildly turbulent.

Yu Qingtan's expression changed, she was trying to self-destruct.

The only thing that had a slight mitigating effect on self-destruction for her now was the ice-cold breath of little Tao, but within the confines of All-Under-Heaven Peak, the Spirit Beast Pouch was also prohibited. Although her System Space wasn't suppressed, she wouldn't be able to explain it afterward.

Moreover, the open time of All-Under-Heaven Peak was three days, but the internal time was one month; one could only leave when the time was up, and they could only voluntarily move upwards, not downwards.

Given Shuisai Miao's current state, her chances of scaling that waterfall were nearly impossible, which meant she had nowhere to escape to and therefore chose self-destruction.

Just as Yu Qingtan was on full defensive alert and preparing herself for the possibility of severe injuries again, a heptagonal light shone on Shuisai Miao, causing her body to halt momentarily, even the raging spiritual power ceased flowing for an instant.

Then, Shuisai Miao smelled a strange fragrance, her soul became drowsy, and the circulation of spiritual power within her body involuntarily slowed down.

The Spirit Calming Talisman and the Drunken Soul Fragrance—these were the interventions of True Lord Jiang Yousi and True Lord You Anxiang.

They had initially been organizing their gains from Dao Comprehension, preparing to climb the waterfall, but seeing Yu Qingtan and her opponent engaged in a fierce battle, with Shuisai Miao even preparing for self-destruction, had to act.

The spot was not particularly spacious, and if a late-stage Golden Core Cultivator self-destructed, they would undoubtedly be affected, so they chose to intervene.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With her rich experience in spell combat, Yu Qingtan immediately took out the Roaming Zither and performed the Third Stage spell, Devil's Penetrating Sound.

That's right, Shi Kuang had finally mastered the Third Stage spells of Devil's Penetrating Sound and Great Resonant Sound. Actually, both spells were derived from Dao Techniques, with formidable power.

Shi Kuang comprehended it, which means that Yu Qingtan did as well.

Shui Laimiao had not yet recovered from the Drunken Soul Fragrance, and with his soul under attack, he was even less able to control his self-detonation, and was decapitated by a sword strike from Yu Qingtan wielding the Canglan Sword with her Object Controlling Technique.

Yu Qingtan rushed forward immediately, extracted Shui Laimiao's Golden Core, purified it with a Purification Spell, and then stored it in the System Space.

She then collected Shui Laimiao's spear, shoulder mantle, and Storage Ring. A fireball formed at her fingertips, incinerating his body to ashes.

Real persons Jiang Yousi and You Anxiang showed no intention of sharing in the spoils.

Real person Jiang Yousi was the clan elder of Jiang Yueli, bearing a six to seven resemblance to her, dressed in a white robe with a cold demeanor, usually giving off an air of keeping others at a thousand miles distance.

Real person You Anxiang had a spring-like complexion and eyes full of luster. Dressed in a red gown with a thin shawl draped over her, her shoulders were partially exposed, revealing seductive contours.

"Fairy Qingtan, subduing a late-stage Golden Core Cultivator is truly worthy of being the chosen talent True Lord Kongbei is fond of. Such a gift truly makes us ashamed," said the person from Canglang Sect, praise in her voice but her heart sneering continuously.

"No matter how talented you are, you will still fall into my hands, hehe," she thought, having already set a trap on Yu Qingtan, which, regrettably, Yu Qingtan was completely unaware of.

The Jinjiang Sect belonged to the sphere of influence of the All-World Academy. It counted as an affiliate force, hence Yu Qingtan was still very courteous towards them.

"Real person You Anxiang flatters me. I also have to thank both of you for lending aid," she said.

"Fairy Qingtan, you are too polite. Had that rogue cultivator from Sakura Island self-detonated, we would have been affected as well. Please don't blame me for not lending a hand, truly it's a matter of inadequate strength," Real person You Anxiang said, while Real person Jiang Yousi had already closed her eyes again.

Yu Qingtan didn't feel anything in particular regarding their lack of help. After all, they were under no obligation to assist her. The rogue cultivators on Sakura Island were annoying, but they had yet to become universally hunted.

"In any case, thank you," she said.

"Ah—"

At this moment, the cultivator who had been climbing up the waterfall suddenly fell, crashing into the pool below the waterfall.

Shortly after, a woman leaped onto the platform, completely dry despite the water, but with a defeated look on her face. She paid no attention to the three people including Yu Qingtan, walked straight to one side, and set up an Alert Defense Formation before sitting down to meditate with closed eyes.

"Fairy Qingtan, with that Dao Companion also failing, I wonder how confident are you in ascending the heavy waterfall?" Real person You Anxiang asked with a smile. The cultivator who had just failed was Real person Song Zhiyi, a Golden Core Cultivator from Canglang Sect.

"I will only try my best!" Yu Qingtan felt that Real person You Anxiang's smile was a bit forced, and she wasn't sure why, but she felt some dislike for this person, so she responded perfunctorily.

The waterfall before her was not flowing with ordinary water but with heavy water. Although it was only first-grade Yuan Heavy Water, its density compared to that of molten iron.

Such a massive amount of Yuan Heavy Water cascading down was not something Yu Qingtan could endure with her Golden Core physical body.

At this moment, Real person Jiang Yousi stood up, and a water domain appeared around her. She walked on the waves and approached the base of the heavy waterfall to begin her climb.

"Dao Companion You Anxiang, I will first regulate my breathing!" Yu Qingtan also set up a simple formation and began to meditate with closed eyes, having sustained minor injuries in the previous battle and feeling somewhat drained.

"Please make yourself comfortable, Fairy Qingtan!" Real person You Anxiang watched Yu Qingtan with closed eyes, a playful look in her eyes and a smile on her lips, as if she was contemplating something.
