My Fairy Growth System

Chapter 97 The Foremost Fragrance in the Human World

Donning a veiled hat, Yu Qingtan walked into Suichuan Immortal City, feeling somewhat gloomy.

Song Zhenbo was waiting for her near the city gate.

"Big Brother Song, I'm going to head back to Tianxiang Pavilion and then to Tianxiang Valley. Please convey my regards to Patriarch Song and the Elders."

Seeing her mood was not good, Song Zhenbo said, "Alright, I'll accompany you to Tianxiang Pavilion."

"Thank you," Yu Qingtan sighed inwardly.

The more debts one has, the less one worries.

Even though she had already admitted she was very bad.

Why was she still troubled?

Song Zhenbo escorted Yu Qingtan to the back door of Tianxiang Pavilion and didn't leave until he could no longer see her figure entering.

When she was close to the back door of Tianxiang Pavilion, Yu Qingtan sent a Communication Talisman to Gongsun Yurong, the Tower Master.

Gongsun Yurong sent one of her maids to receive Yu Qingtan and bring her inside.

Since the monkey-faced eagle flock might issue a warrant for her again, Yu Qingtan needed to keep as low a profile as possible.

"Sister Yurong, I'm back," Yu Qingtan said to Gongsun Yurong as she removed her hat.

"Qingtan, it is really you! It's good that you're back! It's so good!" Gongsun Yurong scrutinized Yu Qingtan with joy in her expression.

She had thought that Yu Qingtan was surely dead, but to her surprise, she had just received her Communication Talisman, saying she was back and wanted to see her privately before heading to Tianxiang Valley.

"How is the status of Manager Liu?" Yu Qingtan asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, her injury has healed, but she's currently in secluded cultivation."

"As long as Manager Liu is alright, I mainly came to inform Sister Yurong that I'm safe and then I plan to go directly to Tianxiang Valley alone."

"That's fine. You must have grown a lot after escaping from the Yunhua Mountain Range. Although there's no new warrant from the monkey-faced eagle flock, it's better to be cautious. Head to Tianxiang Valley soon.

Since you're back, I will give you the earnings of Zhi Lan Pavilion for the past two months."

With that, Gongsun Yurong gave Yu Qingtan a whole one hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

"Sister Yurong, I should not delay my departure, I'm ready to set out now."

"Okay, I'll give you a detailed map of the nearby Cultivation World to facilitate your journey. What you've seen in the books before is only rough.

Be careful on your way, and send me a Communication Talisman when you get to Tianxiang Valley. I will return to the valley myself in a few years," Gongsun Yurong said as she handed Yu Qingtan a Jade Slip and advised her.

The middle-aged beautiful woman lying on a rattan chair opened her eyes and looked at the two of them, saying, "Ah, little Qinghe. Xing Ruo has already mentioned it to me. Yu Qingtan can be an Inner Sect Disciple."

The woman with the Ye surname stood up, looked Yu Qingtan over, and asked, "You have a fine appearance; how old are you, and what is your cultivation level?"

"Met Elder Ye, I am fifteen years old and at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation," Yu Qingtan replied respectfully, bowing and at the same time handing over his Tianxiang Pavilion identity jade.

"Not bad, ninth layer of Qi Cultivation at fifteen, it's acceptable to enter the Inner Sect. Come on, let's go through the Ancestral Master Hall, and then you can be formally admitted."

Su Qinghe took her leave.

Elder Ye took Yu Qingtan to the Ancestral Master Hall.

"That mirror above the hall entrance is the Insightful Mirror, it is a Taoist Instrument to prevent demonic and ghostly beings from infiltrating among the disciples being admitted," she explained.

Yu Qingtan, recalling the feeling of being scrutinized when he entered the Ancestral Master Hall, suddenly understood.

It was his first encounter with a Taoist Instrument up close; those were equipment used by cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage.

"I have verified your identity jade. Make your vows to not betray the human race and the sect gate upon paying homage to the ancestral masters, and you'll be accepted," said Elder Ye.

Yu Qingtan followed the instructions.

He knelt and paid homage to the hanging portraits.

After taking the Heavenly Oath, however, the mysterious feeling that descended oddly vanished.

Just as Elder Ye was about to give Yu Qingtan the identity jade that symbolized an Inner Sect Disciple of Tianxiang Valley, a male voice came from the entrance.

"Wait! Deacon Ye, this does not seem proper. This girl hails from Tianxiang Pavilion; her qualifications must be poor, and she should not be directly entering the Inner Sect. Previous ones joined the Outer Sect, and few were remarkable."

The newcomer wore a python-embroidered, yellow brocade robe with a distinctly angular face and prominent features, though he was a bit corpulent.

"Ruan Fan, don't cause unnecessary trouble. This girl is fifteen and at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation; how is her talent poor?" Elder Ye retorted.

"Qi Cultivation Stage is nothing special; with enough resources, reaching the ninth layer at fifteen is no big deal," Ruan Fan said with some disdain.

"Oh, born a prince of the Qi nation, you must not lack resources. How advanced was your cultivation at fifteen?" Another woman's voice came from outside.

Yu Qingtan recognized the voice; it belonged to Li Xingruo.

Royals of the Mortal Realm typically have considerable Cultivation World backing; if Ruan Fan was born a prince and had a Spirit Root, Qi Cultivation Stage certainly wouldn't lack ordinary resources.

But he shouldn't dream of things like marrow milk or Spirit Dew.

"You! Hmph~"

Indeed, it was Li Xingruo who came in. Ruan Fan was rendered speechless by her retort and stormed out with a huff.
