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.

"Thank you, Sister Yurong!"

After saying farewell to Gongsun Yurong, Yu Qingtan once again disguised her identity and left Suichuan Immortal City.

Being on her way towards Tianxiang Valley.

On the road, Yu Qingtan used the one hundred thousand Spirit Stones she had just received to copy Luo Xiang's Decay and Flourish Technique.

She still primarily relied on the Earth Escape Skill, supplemented by the Water Escape Technique to travel, avoiding all Demonic Beasts and Cultivators, and finally after six days, she arrived back at Tianxiang Valley.

Tianxiang Valley was located between several High Mountains that were thousands of feet tall; the valley was filled with flourishing flowers, a riot of splendid colors everywhere.

Yu Qingtan came to the entrance of Tianxiang Valley and saw a mist shrouding the valley, a clear Small River flowed gently out from the middle, alongside the mountain wall; occasionally, the sound of birds could be heard, while bursts of floral scent wafted from the valley.

The valley entrance was nestled between two mountains, only about sixty feet wide, half of which was the river.

At the entrance, there was a gate with "Tianxiang Valley" elegantly written on it, with a pair of couplets on either side stating:

"Competing to be unmatched in beauty under the heavens, standing alone as the foremost fragrance amongst mankind."

Behind the gate, there was a small house, and as soon as Yu Qingtan arrived, two women in their twenties came out of it.

"Who are you? What is your business in Tianxiang Valley?"

"Met two Senior Sisters, I am Yu Qingtan from the core disciples of Tianxiang Pavilion in Suichuan Immortal City, recommended by Tower Master Gongsun Yurong to join Tianxiang Valley," Yu Qingtan took out a jade token given to him earlier by Gongsun Yurong and said.

"Oh, you're Yu Qingtan," one of the younger-looking women said. "There is indeed a notice about you; Elder Gongsun recommended you to join the valley, and we were expecting you to arrive. Follow me."

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

"No need for thanks, my name is Su Qinghe, just call me Qinghe."

Yu Qingtan followed Su Qinghe into the valley and soon saw a sea of flowers.

Forsythia, Yin Chun, daffodils, jasmine, begonias, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and so on.

The fragrance of flowers was overwhelming, refreshing to the soul.

Walking past the sea of flowers and through a large peach grove, they saw a large cluster of buildings in the distance.

The architectures were ancient and elegant, with pavilions and towers situated in an orderly fashion amidst the mist and fragrant air, golden birds and immortal cranes flying about, and occasionally cultivators riding magical artifacts passing through—truly a scene of an immortal family.

Su Qinghe led Yu Qingtan into a building marked General Affairs Hall and entered a small room.

"Elder Ye, Tower Master Gongsun from Tianxiang Pavilion of Suichuan Immortal City recommended core disciple Yu Qingtan to join the valley; please process the entry procedures," she said.

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.
