My Fairy Growth System

True Master Wen Ying, Xia Wenyin, a teacher from the Commerce Department of the All-World Academy, was unexpectedly collecting silver debts from the big bartender in this tall building on a bright day.

On the other side, the exchange meeting lasted for a day and a night, not coming to an end until the evening of the next day when Yu Qingtan returned to the Qin Academy, accompanied by Shi Kuang.

After escorting Yu Qingtan to the guest room, Yan Xi went back to the adjacent room, and Shi Kuang suddenly said, "Fairy Qingtan, Kuang has composed a new piece and would be honored if you could give it your appraisal."

"Qingtan is most honored!"

Shi Kuang approached the table, took out the Nine Heavens Ring Pei Qin, and looking at Yu Qingtan who had taken a seat in front of him, he began to play.

The music was tender and yet passionately unrestrained.

There were no flashy special effects, only the most sincere emotions.

There is a beauty, unforgettable upon sight; not seen for a single day, thoughts of her drive one mad.

It turned out to be a rendition of "A Phoenix Seeks His Mate".

Yu Qingtan felt her cheeks heat up as she listened, and she lowered her head to look at the tips of her little leather shoes.

"Fairy Qingtan, Kuang admires you deeply; I wonder if you could accept Kuang's affection?"

After finishing the piece, Shi Kuang stared at Yu Qingtan as he directly confessed his feelings.

Yu Qingtan sighed inwardly; why was cultivating affections in the Cultivation World so challenging? Everyone liked to make grand gestures. Why couldn't they be restrained and shy like she had been in her previous life?

Perhaps cultivators were simply more unrestrained.

Luckily, she had conducted a test: once the Affection Value was offered, even if the other person fell out of love, they would not take it back.

So she also lifted her head to look at Shi Kuang and said, "Thank you, Young Master Shi, for your misguided affection. Young Master Shi is a kind person, but Qingtan is devoted to seeking the Dao and has no interest in romantic relationships. I hope you will forgive me."

She had said similar things to Fang Ling and Xiang Yiyi, and she might need to say them to even more people in the future. She intended to become a heartless distributor of friendship tokens.

"It's not that I wish to attract admirers; it's the system forcing my hand. My dear fish, do not blame Qingtan!"

Shi Kuang likely had some mental preparation, and upon hearing these words, he did not react too strongly, though his mood noticeably dropped.

"If that is the case, then it is Kuang who has been presumptuous. I wish Fairy Qingtan a smooth path in the Dao. From now on, we shall be fellow Daoists."

Yu Qingtan felt that perhaps Shi Kuang only wanted to experience the taste of love; though it wasn't perfect, the lesson was profound.

What is love in this world that can turn so many cultivators into fools? Yu Qingtan, in her previous life, had also experienced the sweetness and bitterness of love. In this life, as a young lady with the prospect of eternal life, naturally, she did not want to be burdened by emotions again.

Suffering the setback of unrequited love, Shi Kuang left Yu Qingtan's guest room in a somewhat desolate state, and before long, Zhou Lan, Jing Hao, and Zhong Yao stopped him.

"Big brother Shi, I have some wine. Would you like a drink?" Zhong Yao offered a wine flask.

"We treat you as a brother, but you wanted to be our teacher's husband. Seems like that's not happening now, huh."

Jing Hao teased pretendingly.

Shi Kuang gave him a thump on the shoulder, "Let's go drink!"

...

The next day, Jing Hao came over and gave Yu Qingtan and her companion a thorough tour of the All-World Academy and Qu Fu Immortal City.

Qu Fu Immortal City is home to over two billion Cultivators and, as far as Yu Qingtan was aware, it was the only Immortal City not divided into Inner and Outer Cities.

Qu Fu Immortal City had no city walls either, but there was the Qu Fu River that encircled the entire city, five miles wide, serving as a moat. A series of watchtowers were built along the river, and with these towers and the Qu Fu River, Qu Fu Immortal City had arranged an immensely powerful Fourth Stage Protective City Formation, the Azure Water Reaching Sky Great Array.

In such large Immortal Cities teeming with Cultivators, Yu Qingtan felt right at home, yet she didn't immediately stir up schemes to gather Charm Points.

That was because attempting All-Under-Heaven Peak was an excellent way to harvest Charm Points. Not only because everyone in Qu Fu Immortal City knew about All-Under-Heaven Peak, but also because the city had four giant steles called "All Under Heaven", which recorded the achievements of those who excelled in the challenge.

All-Under-Heaven Peak opened every six months, and most of those who entered were Golden Core Cultivators, with a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators. The All Under Heaven steles recorded the names of Cultivators who had been in the top hundred historical achievements over the past thousand years, as well as the names and portraits of the top ten achievers from the current year.

Under the guidance of Jing Hao, Yu Qingtan also visited one of the All Under Heaven steles. It was a thirty-foot tall stele with the top half of the front showing a hundred names and the bottom half displaying ten names and their corresponding portraits. The back, however, featured an epitaph.

The epitaph detailed the origin and history of All-Under-Heaven Peak. According to the recording, in ancient times, a starry sky meteorite fell into Lichuan Cultivation World, and one of the founders of the All-World Academy, the sage Confucius, struck it with divine powers.

The starry sky meteorite shattered into nine large pieces, which Confucius collected and then refined into nine peaks known as the All-Under-Heaven Peaks, one of which was the one located in the Southeast Branch of the Qu Fu Immortal City's All-World Academy. The All Under Heaven steles, on the other hand, were made from the smaller fragments of the starry sky meteorite.

"If a thirty-foot tall stele is merely a small fragment, the original meteorite must have been gigantic. Had it collided squarely, the Lichuan Cultivation World would've been finished," Yu Qingtan estimated in her mind, deducing that the meteorite blamed for the extinction of the dinosaurs paled in comparison to this starry sky meteorite.

Over the past thousand years, the best historical score on the All Under Heaven stele belonged to a man named Wu Di, known as the Undefeated True Monarch of Cangqiong Sword Sect.

Second place went to Huang Mingjing, the Supreme Elder of the Great Mist Mountain Huang Family.

The third place was occupied by Xu Fang of the Star Moon Sect, who topped the Hundred Flowers List and came second on the Pride of the Heavens List as a fairy banished to the mortal world.

The rest were mostly individuals who had been on the Pride of the Heavens List, such as Liu Maocai and Gong Zhaoqing from the All-World Academy.

In particular, Gong Zhaoqing, ranked thirty-ninth on the Pride of the Heavens List and a student from the Calligraphy and Painting Academy, was currently traveling abroad and Yu Qingtan did not have the chance to meet him.

The All-World Academy is a very unique power, with its ideal of enlightening the world not just being an empty phrase. Any young person with a talent for cultivation and a decent temperament can become a student of the All-World Academy for free.

However, due to limited resources, students who do not meet the assessment requirements after a certain period of study are asked to graduate.

Nevertheless, it is difficult for people with cultivation talent from other forces to traverse the perilous uninhabited areas to reach the All-World Academy to seek the path of cultivation.

Even so, there were twice as many Cultivators living in Qu Fu Immortal City than in Wendao Immortal City, most of whom had studied at the All-World Academy.

In addition, the All-World Academy also welcomed amicable forces to send their disciples for exchange and learning. For instance, Baili Ya and Tan Suqin had studied at the All-World Academy, and Yu Qingtan was also considered to be visiting for study purposes now.

The top ten achievers of the current year recorded on the All Under Heaven stele shockingly included a Cultivator from Lotus Gate, named Xue Shuangsu, also known as Real Person Shuangsu.

As for the other nine, Yu Qingtan had not heard of them before.

After viewing the All Under Heaven stele, Jing Hao also took Yu Qingtan and her companion to the Treasure Pavilion, the amusement park, the arena, the grand theater, and other places.

Overall, Cultivators from Qu Fu Immortal City seemed to have a more vivid sense of life, such as Yu Qingtan experiencing the Cultivation World's amusement park for the first time.

Things like thousand-foot bungee jumping, spinning flying horses, and Demonic Beasts acrobatics, brought great joy to Yu Qingtan.

Furthermore, Qu Fu Immortal City even had Spirit Stone-driven vehicles, although they were still quite rare.

"This is a technology that was transmitted from the Central Domain not long ago, known as the automobile, and it's currently being tested on a small scale," Jing Hao explained as they sat in a luxurious four-wheeled automobile.
