My Fairy Growth System

Great Thunderclap Monastery is one of the strongest Buddhist temples in the Western Regions, and Master Hui Ming came from Great Thunderclap Monastery.

Yu Qingtan chose to go on foot, passing through Mount Ling on her journey, marveling at the spectacular scenery. Mountains green upon mountains, ancient trees reaching the sky, occasionally she saw Buddha Sect disciples and lay disciples practicing in the mountains, either meditating and chanting sutras or wielding magic artifacts to practice spells.

After half a day, Yu Qingtan finally arrived at Great Thunderclap Monastery. The temple was built against the mountain, with an imposing presence, resplendent in gold and splendor. Inside the temple, the sound of the bell was distant and sonorous, while the chanting of scriptures was continuous, as if a mysterious force was drawing people to come and worship.

At the entrance of Great Thunderclap Monastery, two massive stone lions stood guard with majesty, their gaze deep as if they could perceive everything in the world. Above the stone lions, the golden plaque bore the engraved words "Great Thunderclap Monastery" in powerful and vigorous strokes.

On either side of the entrance stood two dragon-carved stone pillars, engraved with exquisite patterns, featuring both the eight treasures of Buddhism and an array of birds and beasts, all lifelike. Above the stone pillars, a couplet was particularly striking: "Thunder shakes the thousand worlds, Buddha's law pervades the universe; Sound extends throughout the Nine Domains, Zen light illuminates all under heaven."

Yu Qingtan entered the temple and explained her purpose to a monk guarding the gate. Upon seeing the Buddha beads presented by Yu Qingtan, the monk informed her that Master Hui Ming happened to be in the temple.

Yu Qingtan was delighted in her heart and quickly followed the monk to the meditation room where Master Hui Ming was.

Along the way, she was struck by the solemnity and reverence of Great Thunderclap Monastery, with its rich historical background seemingly transmitted to her through every stone and every leaf. She couldn't help but feel a deeper reverence and curiosity for the Buddha Sect.

Finally, they arrived at Master Hui Ming's meditation room. Yu Qingtan took a deep breath, straightened her clothing, and then knocked on the door lightly.

"Come in," came the gentle voice of Master Hui Ming from inside.

Yu Qingtan pushed the door open and saw Master Hui Ming sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his eyes closed as he chanted sutras. She walked gently to the front of the master, brought her palms together, and bowed slightly, "Yu Qingtan of Wendao Sect from Southeast Region pays respect to Master Hui Ming. I didn't reveal my identity earlier; please forgive me, Master."

Master Hui Ming opened his eyes, saw it was Yu Qingtan, stood up and his face showed a warm smile, "Fairy Qingtan, your reputation precedes you, I later understood your identity. Please take a seat. Have you come to Great Thunderclap Monastery with the desire to join our Buddha Sect?"

Yu Qingtan placed a gift box on the table and then sat down in the guest seat, saying, "Master, thank you for your generous gift before. This small token is not enough to show my respect. However, now that you know I am a disciple of Wendao Sect, you understand I cannot join the Buddha Sect!"

Master Hui Ming glanced at the gift box with his divine sense, smiled, and shook his head, "Fourth Stage Enlightenment Tea, Fairy Qingtan is indeed generous. I too am a lover of tea, so I will accept it without reservation.

Fairy Qingtan has a predestined connection with our Buddha Sect. Even as a disciple of Wendao Sect, you can still become a disciple of Great Thunderclap Monastery.

If Fairy Qingtan is truly unwilling, she can also become a lay disciple of the monastery. However, in that case, items like Vajra Butter, Great Universal Zen Light, and Purifying Buddha Eye Technique would need to be exchanged for merit points of the monastery."

Although Yu Qingtan held deep respect for the Buddha Sect, Wendao Sect was her foundation, and she could not easily give that up. However, treasures such as Vajra Butter were of great help to her cultivation, and she did not wish to lose this means of acquisition.

Yu Qingtan sighed softly in her heart, a determined look flashing in her eyes, "Master, I am touched by your kindness, but as a disciple of Wendao Sect, the sect is my home and I cannot betray it. However, I am willing to become a lay disciple of the Great Thunderclap Monastery and exchange merit points for the resources I need."

Master Hui Ming nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, "That's good. As an elder of the Great Thunderclap Monastery, I can process the formalities for you to become a lay disciple directly. However, you must know that after becoming a lay disciple, although you will have access to some of the monastery's resources, you must also abide by its rules and contribute your strength to the monastery."

Yu Qingtan quickly nodded, "Please rest assured, Master. Qingtan will do her utmost to contribute her strength to the Great Thunderclap Monastery."

Master Hui Ming smiled slightly, then took out a golden token and handed it to Yu Qingtan, "This is your lay disciple token. With it, you can exchange for the necessary resources within the monastery. The token also allows you to directly see the tasks issued by the monastery and accept them. Upon completion of the tasks, you can earn the corresponding merit points."

Yu Qingtan accepted the token, her heart filled with gratitude, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. Qingtan will surely live up to your expectations."

Next, Master Hui Ming asked one of his disciples to show Yu Qingtan around the Great Thunderclap Monastery and introduced her in detail to the rules and systems of the monastery, as well as how to exchange resources.

After Yu Qingtan left, another figure appeared in the meditation room of Master Hui Ming. It was the abbot of the Great Thunderclap Monastery, Master Hui Jue, a cultivator at the Initial Nascent Soul Stage.

"Abbot, why offer her such generous terms? Vajra Butter and the like are not available to lay disciples! Moreover, my Purifying Buddha Eyes have seen that if she joins the Buddha Sect, our sect will surely flourish!" Master Hui Ming asked with confusion.

"Hui Ming, what you have seen is indeed correct, but what you have not seen is that if we force her to join the Buddha Sect, it will backfire and bring disaster to the sect.

This Fairy Qingtan has the potential to become immortal. By forming a good relationship with her, we establish karma with her, which can also help our Buddha Sect prosper even more!" Master Hui Jue explained softly, his eyes filled with wisdom.

"I see. Thank you for clearing my doubts, brother," Master Hui Ming replied, his admiration for Master Hui Jue's wisdom and foresight growing in his heart.

On the other hand, after visiting the Great Thunderclap Monastery, Yu Qingtan also learned the exchange prices for the things she wanted and that usually only formal disciples had the right to exchange resources. Master Hui Ming was indeed creating a convenient path for her.

"Vajra Butter, one thousand merit points a bottle, only lasts for three days. To reach the peak of the Organ Refinement Realm, I need sixty bottles, and to attempt a breakthrough to the Golden Body Realm, at least another forty bottles are necessary. That's a total of one hundred thousand merit points needed, equivalent to hunting a hundred late Fourth Stage or an early Fifth Stage Sea Clan, Demon Race, or Insect Tribe.

The Great Universal Zen Light and the Purifying Buddha Eye Technique also each require one hundred thousand merit points. Good as the things are, they are indeed expensive!

It seems I'll have to slaughter a Fifth Stage Demon Venerable, which would also fulfill the target for the Slaughter Demon Order. Once this is done, the mission for the Slaughter Demon Order will be completely finished.

Unfortunately, there are no Fifth Stage Demon Venerables left in the Western Regions. The Great Thunderclap Monastery's network of missions only covers the Western Regions, the Northwest Region, and the Southwest Domain. The Southwest Domain is mainly Insect Tribe, while in the Northwest Region, the Human Race and Demon Race are closely matched in power. It looks like a trip to the Northwest Region is in order."

Yu Qingtan acted as soon as she decided. She went straight to Chanyin Immortal City and took the teleportation formation to the Northwest Region.
