My Fairy Growth System

"Come with me!"

Old Lady Feng said as she turned and walked into Tian Feng Valley.

Yu Qingtan and the other two hurried to follow, soon spotting a dozen or so buildings embedded in the cliff face.

The four arrived at the base of a cliff and Yu Qingtan only felt a breeze on her face as she suddenly found herself in front of a building a hundred feet up, with the words "Wind Way Hall" inscribed above.

"Lady Qing Tan, please go in!"

Old Lady Feng received a message, and then spoke to Qing Tan.

Yu Qingtan stepped into the hall and saw Feng Buji, recognizable by his trademark green long hair, sprawled on the floor, without his wings on his back; his right cheek against the ground, the left one swollen, lacking his usual dashing and carefree demeanor.

At the uppermost seat of the hall sat a child-faced grande dame Lolita dressed in a green dress, Venerable Shenfeng, Feng Wuyue.

"Tianxiang Valley's Yu Qingtan, a True Disciple recorded in the Water Vein, pays respects to Venerable Shenfeng!"

This was the second time Yu Qingtan faced a Fifth Stage existence, and she couldn't help but feel somewhat nervous.

Feng Wuyue looked at Yu Qingtan and spoke with a young girl's voice, but her words carried the weight of age.

"Sixteen years old, late Foundation Establishment, Celestial-grade Water Spirit Root, not bad. You could very well be the next Divinity Transformation of the Water Vein."

Yu Qingtan's pupils contracted—she hadn't expected her Celestial-grade Spirit Root to be exposed.

Feng Buji's eyes widened in shock as well; he had never imagined that the legendary Celestial-grade Spirit Root would appear right before his eyes.

"Don't be nervous. Celestial-grade Spirit Roots, although extremely rare, have indeed surfaced from time to time over the ages. I won't do anything to you, and this disaster won't leak your secret either. I see you understand the principle of hiding your talents, but you still can't hide them from a Fifth Stage presence. Here, I have a Self-Hiding Pearl. Wear it close to you, and even a Body Integration powerhouse won't be able to discern your Spirit Root."

Venerable Wuyue took out a grey pearl and tossed it to Yu Qingtan.

"Thank you for your generosity, Venerable. Qing Tan will certainly treat the Wendao Sect as her own home."

Yu Qingtan caught it and briskly expressed her loyalty.

"Hmm, I'll also give you a Fourth Stage Wind Evasion Talisman, which should save your life from anyone below Divinity Transformation."

Seeing how well Yu Qingtan was behaving, Venerable Wuyue took out a Jade Talisman and tossed it to her.

Feng Buji, still on the ground, felt a pang of jealousy—such treasures had never been given to him.

For Venerable Wuyue, this was naturally an investment. Although she remained composed, a Celestial-grade Spirit Root was almost a guaranteed path to Divinity Transformation, unless felled prematurely, and this filled her with surprise.

This calamity brought by the Sea Clan was, after all, due to the declining strength of the Wendao Sect because of the departure of Venerable Jiang Xue. Venerable Wuyue had also heard of Yu Qingtan's performance during this disaster.

"Thank you, Venerable Shenfeng!"

Yu Qingtan was genuinely moved.

"All right, what did you want with this disaster?"

Venerable Wuyue glanced at Feng Buji on the floor and asked.

Yu Qingtan quickly explained the matter of the eagle's claw.

Venerable Wuyue stretched out a small hand and pointed a finger, lifting the restraint on Feng Buji, allowing him to speak.

"Master, the old firehead must have finished crafting it by now. I will now take junior sister Qingtan to the Fire Vein to retrieve her flying sword."

Feng Buji quickly bowed and spoke with urgency in his voice.

"Be gone!"

Venerable Wuyue turned her head away, refusing to look at Feng Buji.

As he looked up at her and then walked out, Yu Qingtan bowed and quickly followed.

When they left the hall, the injuries on Feng Buji's face had already disappeared.

"Grandma Feng, I'm taking Sister Yu and the others to the Fire Vein,"

Feng Buji took out a flying boat, gestured for Yu Qingtan and the other two to come aboard, and then left Tianxiang Valley in a puff of smoke.

After the disaster with the Sea Clan had ended, he still hadn't left Tianxiang Valley.

"Brother Feng, what's the situation between you and your master?" Yu Qingtan sent a telepathic message to ask, sensing that Feng Buji was an easygoing person.

After learning about Yu Qingtan's celestial-grade Spirit Root, Feng Buji didn't dare to underestimate her, and so he replied telepathically.

"Ah, it's nothing much, just that I fell in love with my master. She was gravely injured during the Sea Clan disaster, and I've been taking care of her ever since. I couldn't help but confess my feelings to her,"

Feng Buji replied telepathically; he knew Grandma Feng would definitely reveal some things, and he felt there was nothing that couldn't be said.

Of course, he certainly wouldn't tell Yu Qingtan about stealthily kissing his master while she was healing from her injuries.

A master-disciple romance wasn't common in the Cultivation World but also wasn't rare; it was Yu Qingtan's first encounter with such a thing, and she found it very intriguing.

"Brother Feng, it seems Venerable Shenfeng hasn't accepted you yet!"

"She's just too proud to let her guard down for the moment, but she surely has feelings for me too,"

Feng Buji, feeling as if he was pricked by Yu Qingtan's comment, reassured himself as he explained via telepathy.

"I'll write a story of 'The Condor Heroes' for Brother Feng later; it might be helpful for you."

Feng Buji didn't have the chance to ask what 'The Condor Heroes' was, because they had already arrived at the Fire Vein.

This was a complex of buildings near the bottom of Mount Wendao, and surprisingly, there was a small volcano next to it. As they flew over, Yu Qingtan saw magma flowing within it.

It was an active volcano.

The Fire Elder, also known as Old Man Fire, the Elder of the Fire Vein, Venerable Refiner Tian Huolian, had already received news of their arrival and sent a disciple to welcome them at the gate.

This time, they didn't meet in the Wind Way Hall but in a huge forging room, where they saw Venerable Refiner Tian instructing a disciple on artifact forging.

Venerable Refiner Tian was tall and burly, with bronze-colored skin and short stubble. At a glance, he could have been mistaken for a blacksmith from the Mortal Realm.

"Old Man Fire, have you finished forging that flying sword I asked for last time?" Feng Buji called out directly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Kid Feng, a Third-Stage item also worth my personal effort? Refiner Jian made it long ago—did you think we'd deliver it to you?"

The Fire Elder seemed to have a bad temper, but his conversation revealed that he was quite amiable.

At that moment, the young cultivator who was forging plunged the red-hot long sword he held into a pool of liquid next to him for quenching, emitting a "sizzling" sound and giving off white smoke.

After two breaths, he took it out, satisfied with a glance, and set it aside for the moment.

He then took out six small flying swords from his storage bracelet and handed them over to Feng Buji.

"Junior Brother Feng, they were ready long ago. They're all nearly Third-Stage mid-grade treasures."

"Thank you, Refiner Zhu, but these are for Sister Yu," said Feng Buji, turning and tossing the swords to Yu Qingtan. Yu Qingtan quickly caught them and took the opportunity to express her gratitude.

"Qing Tan greets Venerable Refiner Tian and Brother Refiner Jian. Many thanks to Brother Refiner Jian!"

True Lord Zhu Jian, the True Disciple from the Fire Vein and a talented artifact refiner, was also well-known to Yu Qingtan.

"Not bad, young girl! Feng kid, you sure know how to be generous with others' kindness. Qing Tan, wasn't it? If you need forging in the future, just come straight to me or Refiner Jian,"

Of course, Venerable Refiner Tian and others knew about Yu Qingtan, and her natural talent and the esteem of True Lord Kongbei led them to befriend her without hesitation.

"Thank you, Venerable Refiner Tian. Speaking of which, I indeed have some materials here that need processing," said Yu Qingtan with a sweet smile, taking out the early Third-Stage Sea Mantis Shrimp and Sea Bun Crab shells, and the late Third-Stage Sea Clan Canglong's scales and claws.

"These are all great materials, enough to forge quite a few items!" True Lord Zhu Jian's eyes lit up, aware that Yu Qingtan had killed several Third-Stage Sea Clan creatures. He was surprised at how well the materials were preserved.

"What would you like to forge out of them?"
