My Fairy Growth System

"You!"

Li Qingxuan and Chu Jianyang had not expected Yu Qingtan to be so tough.

Li Qingxuan really didn't want to waste the Nascent Soul Charm Treasure here, after all, since Yu Qingtan dared to take action even after seeing her take out the Nascent Soul Charm Treasure, she must have been confident in coping with it, and might have had one herself.

"Retreat!" Left with no other choice, Li Qingxuan communicated to her fellow sect members telepathically.

Thus, the ten Golden Core Cultivators from the Extreme Path Demon Sect used their escape techniques to flee, with Li Qingxuan and Chu Jianyang covering the rear, resisting Yu Qingtan's attacks.

Yu Qingtan pressed the advantage relentlessly and gave chase directly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Li Qingxuan and the others, left with no options, fled in a frantic state.

The strength of the other eight Golden Core Cultivators was far inferior to Li Qingxuan and Chu Jianyang, and they posed little threat to Yu Qingtan, who excelled at group attacks and was suspected of possessing the Soul Devouring Physique; they were even a liability.

Fortunately, Yu Qingtan did not truly fight to kill, and only pursued Li Qingxuan and her companions until she had driven them back into the territory of the Extreme Path Demon Sect before she ceased her pursuit and returned to Baihe Immortal City.

When Yu Qingtan returned to Baihe Immortal City, a cheer erupted within.

"Fairy Qingtan is mighty!"

"Fairy Qingtan is invincible!"

"..."

"Fairy Qingtan has unparalleled talent and unmatched strength!" The Fairy of Modesty, True Persons Shuangsu and Xiuyu, and others, came to welcome her and lavished her with intense praise.

At that moment, two beautiful female cultivators flew towards the city wall on their swords.

"Qingtan!"

Hearing the call, Yu Qingtan turned her head to look and saw it was Wen Jin and Xiang Yiyi.

"Fourth Senior Sister, Yiyi, are you both all right?"

"We're fine, but you, Qingtan, are just too strong!" Xiang Yiyi's eyes sparkled with hearts, and this time she wasn't wearing a maid outfit, for previously Yu Qingtan had told her not to wear it.

Wen Jin maintained her usual demure appearance.

The two women greeted the Golden Core Cultivators such as the Fairy of Modesty, and then Wen Jin said, "Qingtan, my aunt is still at the Spirit Tungsten Mine confronting the Blood Marionette sect's cultivators. Now that the crisis in the Immortal City is resolved, I would like to go and offer support."

"My second aunt is also with the sect leader there," added Xiang Yiyi.

Previously upon their arrival at Baihe Immortal City, True Person Xiuyu had mentioned that one Foundation Establishment Cultivator from each of the Wen and Xiang families had been killed at the Spirit Tungsten Mine by the Blood Marionette Demon Sect. Later, the Lotus Gate's sect leader, True Person Nansi, also known as Yinan, led many cultivators from the Lotus Gate to the Spirit Tungsten Mine, where they were currently in a standoff with members of the Blood Marionette Demon Sect.

"Alright then, let's head to the Spirit Tungsten Mine now!"

So, along with Yu Qingtan, Yan Xi, Wen Jin, Xiang Yiyi, the Fairy of Modesty, and five Golden Core Cultivators from the Qunfang Pavilion, they boarded the Tanxian Ship and set off for Black Tungsten Mountain, where the Spirit Tungsten Mine was located, while True Persons Shuangsu and others from the Lotus Gate continued to hold position in the Baihe Immortal City.

Black Tungsten Mountain was not very large, only three li in length and width, and over seven hundred zhang tall. It wasn't far from Baihe Immortal City, taking only half an hour to reach.

When Yu Qingtan and the others arrived, the sect leader of the Lotus Gate, True Person Nansi, came out to personally welcome them.

"Fairy Qingtan, Fairy of Modesty and esteemed guests, thank you for coming to assist our sect."

True Person Nansi's face was as delicate as a peach blossom, her eyes like rippling water, her lips naturally red, and her eyebrows naturally green, without any need for makeup. She wore a light yellow long dress embellished with patterns of lily flowers, an unforgettable sight.

True Person Nansi's voice was clear and crisp, exuding the demeanor of a sect leader.

Yu Qingtan felt that True Person Nansi looked at her as a loving mother would look at her own daughter.

"Qingtan pays her respects to True Person Nansi!" "The Fairy of Modesty pays her respects to True Person Nansi!" "..."

Of course, Yinan had also made her name known on the Hundred Flowers List, even ranking in the top ten. Previously, True Person Shuangsu had told Yu Qingtan that she liked to be referred to as "True Person Nansi."

"Both of you repelling the forces of the Extreme Path Demon Sect in Baihe Immortal City has already been relayed to me by Shuangsu. Indeed, the new waves of the river push forward the old ones; I must admit, I cannot stay young forever!" Fairy Nansi chuckled behind her hand.

"Fairy Nansi flatters us too much. May I know the current situation at Black Tungsten Mountain?"

"Ah, Real Person Guangzhen from the Blood Shadow Demon Sect has set up a Third-Grade premium Great Array, the Serpentine Blood Fiend Formation around the Spirit Tungsten Mine. All our attempts to attack have been blocked by the formation, so we had no choice but to surround Black Tungsten Mountain for now," Fairy Nansi sighed.

As a Third-Grade Array Master, Yu Qingtan naturally knew about the Blood Fiend Formation, which had power closely related to the blood used to set it up.

The Serpentine clan is a major clan within the Yunhua Mountain Range, which boasts a Fifth-Grade Demon Venerable.

Serpentines resemble snakes but have four wings and produce a rumbling sound. The Serpentine clan has some dragon blood and is exceptionally strong.

A Third-Grade premium Serpentine Blood Fiend Formation would require the blood of a Fourth-Grade Demon King Serpentine, which means its might would be higher within the ranks of Third-Grade formations.

"Real Person Guangzhen is a Golden Core Cultivator in the late stage from the Blood Shadow Demon Sect and also a Third-Grade Array Master. There are also five Golden Core Cultivators from the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, twenty Golden Core Cultivators from the Blood Marionette Sect, and nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Blood Marionette Sect in the formation.

We have four Golden Core Cultivators from Qunfang Pavilion as reinforcements, thirty-five of our own Golden Core Cultivators, and two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Now that you've arrived, we can attempt another attack. Unfortunately, we don't have a Third-Grade Array Master," continued Fairy Nansi.

"I see. However, allow me to observe first, to see if there's anything peculiar about this Serpentine Blood Fiend Formation," Yu Qingtan said with a smile.

Besides forcefully breaking through, formations could be undone using Array Breaking Talismans, array-breaking spires, or even other formations, and this clever approach was often employed by Array Masters.

Finding the formation's weaknesses and attacking its frail spots could save up to ninety percent of the power needed to break it. This was the essence of using subtlety to break a formation and a common method used by Array Masters.

"Fairy Qingtan is also versed in formations?" Fairy Nansi asked in surprise.

Most were shocked at this revelation, but Yan Xi knew that during her time in Wendao Immortal City, Yu Qingtan had sought instruction in formations from Real Person Liu Qiming of the All-World Academy's Formation Institute.

"Just slightly versed, slightly! Let me have a look," Yu Qingtan modestly replied and then turned into an Escape Light, heading towards the perimeter of Black Tungsten Mountain.

Fairy Nansi and Fairy Qianrou quickly followed after her. Yan Xi and the five Golden Core Cultivators from Qunfang Pavilion remained where they were, while Xiang Yiyi and Wen Jin went with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Lotus Gate to meet their relatives.

Black Tungsten Mountain earned its name due to the black color of the Spirit Tungsten Mine.

The vegetation on Black Tungsten Mountain was lush, with just a few large mining pits dug out. The verdant Black Tungsten Mountain was, however, enveloped in a thick, blood-colored fog at the moment.

Upon arriving outside Black Tungsten Mountain, Yu Qingtan caused her Spiritual Power to surge, shooting a dense swarm of Water Blades toward the bloody mist, while her eyes shone with a blue light as she employed the Blue Clear Spiritual Pupil Technique.

Within Black Tungsten Mountain, Real Person Guangzhen of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect and Real Person Hongzhong, Sang Hongzhong, from the Blood Marionette Sect were the authority figures of the two sects' Cultivators there. On seeing Yu Qingtan, they immediately recognized her.

"It's Fairy Qingtan from the Wendao Sect; why are people from the Wendao Sect here, and yet none of the others from the Extreme Dao Sect have come?" Real Person Hongzhong said with some worry.

"No matter. Didn't Fairy Qingxuan message us earlier, asking us just to hold our ground? With this Serpentine Blood Fiend Formation in place, even a Nascent Soul early-stage Cultivator couldn't break it. What fear do we have of a mere Yu Qingtan?" Real Person Guangzhen confidently stated.

Fairy Qingxuan, that is Jinxiu Heavenly Saber Li Qingxuan.

His confidence had a basis; formations were very strong but extremely difficult to learn. Many Nascent Soul level powers didn't have Third-Grade Array Masters, including Qunfang Pavilion.

Thus, undisturbed, Yu Qingtan managed to scout the entirety of the Serpentine Blood Fiend Formation within the time it took to finish a cup of tea.

"How is it?" Fairy Nansi approached Yu Qingtan and inquired.

"It's not hard to break!"
