Chapter 227 Others Dare Not Speak of Becoming Immortals
```
"Fairy Qingtan is not only exceptionally talented and powerful but also unrivaled in beauty," continued the narrator. "Moreover, she is proficient in dance and the arts of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, serving as an Honored Lecturer at the Four Institutes of Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting at The World Academy Southeast Branch. In addition, Fairy Qingtan is an outstanding Spirit Tailor, having designed many refreshing garments."
Poetic praise states:
"In Tianxiang Valley where a hundred flowers bloom bright, stirred by the breeze, a phoenix descends to our mortal sight."
"Long hair flowing, she dances with allure so bold, in a red dress that swirls in a ballet untold."
"She is like a millennium-old flawless jade, or a newly-blossomed pure lotus displayed."
"The peerless Qing Tan still seeks the Dao's way; who else would dare speak of becoming an immortal, say?"
The introduction was followed by three portraits.
One portrayed Yu Qingtan in a red-tinted Exquisite Dance outfit performing the Exquisite Dance;
Another captured Yu Qingtan in a goose-yellow chest-skimming dress named "Falling Flower Ballad," playing the Butterfly Lovers on the zither;
And the third showed Yu Qingtan in a pale blue knee-length dress, with silk stockings on her legs and small leather shoes on her feet, standing aloft with blades of Water surrounding her.
Having seen these, Yu Qingtan felt that Heavenly Secret Tower really knew how to handle things, though the phrase "The peerless Qing Tan still seeks the Dao's way; who else would dare speak of becoming an immortal, say?" seemed a bit too exaggerated.
Heavenly Secret Tower does indeed enjoy making such exaggerated evaluations on the Hundred Flowers List and Pride of the Heavens List.
On the Hundred Flowers List, perhaps the most displeased is Jinxiu Heavenly Saber Li Qingxuan of the Extreme Path Demon Sect, who thought that with the departure of the descended fairy Xu Fang, she could have topped the list, but then came the sudden appearance of Fairy Qingtan.
Maybe right now, she is cursing Yu Qingtan!
Besides, apart from our Eldest Senior Sister Li Xingruo, who entered the Hundred Flowers List at thirty-seventh place, Yan Xi and Shui Qingrou also made the list, at sixty-eighth and ninety-eighth, respectively.
"Hundred Flowers List sixty-eighth place, Tianxiang Valley, Yan Xi, nineteen years old, Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, high-grade Water-Wood dual Spirit Roots, world-known as Fairy Yan Xi;"
"Hundred Flowers List ninety-eighth place, Tianxiang Valley, Shui Qingrou, twenty years old, Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, high-grade Water-Fire dual Spirit Roots, world-known as Fairy Qing Rou;" Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire
"We must also congratulate Yan Xi and Qing Rou for making it onto the Hundred Flowers List!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Yu Qingtan congratulated the two women.
"Thank you, Qingtan!" Shui Qingrou was very happy, even though she barely made the list.
"Thank you; it's all thanks to the young lady's cultivation!" Yan Xi was still in a state of excitement, her face full of smiles, while Xiang Yiyi, although smiling on the side, kept regretting in her heart.
"Qingtan, take me on as your maid too!" Xiang Yiyi straightforwardly grabbed Yu Qingtan's hand, pleading pitifully.
"Yiyi, stop it, everyone will get what they deserve. Why do you need to be a maid? Look, I haven't actually asked Yan Xi to do much either."
Yu Qingtan said resignedly.
All the women followed her to Tanxian Elegant Courtyard, where she provided them with Spirit Dew for their cultivation.
Yan Xi and Shui Qingrou's cultivation levels were high partly because their Spirit Roots had higher compatibility values and partly because they cultivated more diligently.
Xiang Yiyi had no choice but to give up, deciding in her heart to start wearing the same kind of clothes as Yan Xi from tomorrow on.
Yu Qingtan continued to look at another Jade Slip detailing the Pride of the Heavens List.
"Pride of the Heavens List first place, Star Moon Sect, Xu Fang, twenty-seven years old, Late Stage of the Golden Core, supreme Ice Spirit Root, Starlight Dao Body, world-known as the descended fairy;"
"Pride of the Heavens List second place, Loose Cultivator, Xing Ye, twenty-eight years old, Late Stage of the Golden Core, Spirit Root unknown, suspected to possess Qianyang Dao Body;"

Indeed, the Star Moon Sect's celestial being incarnate, Xu Fang, had taken the top spot on the Pride of the Heavens List, while second place was claimed by a Loose Cultivator known as Xing Ye, a figure Yu Qingtan had also heard a little about, who was ranked thirtieth on the previous list and whose introduction she had glanced through.
Yu Qingtan herself was ranked third, likely considering her age, her suspected Dao Body, and her combat prowess, which the introduction outlined similarly to the Hundred Flowers List.
On the Pride of the Heavens List, there were also many individuals whom Yu Qingtan knew or was even familiar with, such as Feng Buji, Huangfu Yun, Tan Suqin, Fu Nian, Shi Kuang, Zhou Lan, and so on.
After perusing the Pride of the Heavens List, Yu Qingtan looked over the Message-Transmitting Flying Swords and Communication Talismans outside her room, which were mostly congratulations for her.
Yu Qingtan then decided to hold a small banquet, asking Yan Xi and others to help invite acquaintances from the Wendao Sect to attend.
For example, her bargain of a master, the real person Rou Jia, her grandmaster Yong Li, Feng Buji, Baili Ya, Tan Suqin, Yin Cen, and so forth.
She then began to read through the Pride of the Heavens List and the Hundred Flowers List again more carefully.
