My Fairy Growth System

Outside of the Loulan Oasis, Yu Qingtan used a Heavenly Mystery Talisman and then rode the Tanxian Ship flying boat in one direction across the desert.

Recently, she had collected quite a few materials necessary for refining the Heavenly Mystery Talisman, and at the All-World Academy's Eastern Region branch, she had learned many high-level talisman drawing techniques, including the Truth Talisman, the Escape Talisman, and others, all of which she had successfully drawn.

On board the Tanxian Ship, there was another passenger, Yao Xiyue. As for Helian Sheng and his two lackeys, they had been dumped in a dark alley of Loulan Immortal City, and their possessions had become the compensation for Yu Qingtan's intervention.

At this time, Yu Qingtan was naturally looking for the Yellow Sand Bandit Gang, because the support behind the Yellow Sand Bandit Gang was actually the Desert Demon Race.

The bandits were able to roam freely, not only because they had support but also because their whereabouts were unpredictable. Finding them in the vast desert was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, for Yu Qingtan, who possessed a Fourth Stage Heavenly Mystery Talisman, this was not a huge issue. After all, finding the bandits was not as difficult as looking for someone like Tojo Kikiji, a God Transformation Honorable.

Underneath the desert at a certain location, a shuttle-shaped Taoist instrument, the yellow sand shuttle, was speeding ahead, its System Space occupied by the recently enriched Yellow Sand Bandit Gang.

The members of the bandit gang were reveling, feasting on delicacies, drinking Spiritual Wine, and playing with men or women, utterly carefree.

Yet, at this moment, Huang Batian, the leader of the Yellow Sand Bandit Gang who was controlling the yellow sand shuttle, was in no mood to celebrate, as a special Secret Technique he practiced that could predict auspicious and ominous events had been going crazy with warnings an hour ago.

Huang Batian had just advanced to the Mid-Nascent Stage, but he always concealed his true Cultivation Level to appear one minor realm lower; thus, to others, he seemed to be a Cultivator who had just broken through from the Golden Core Stage to the early Nascent Soul Stage.

This time, the Sand Scorpion Tribe backing the Yellow Sand Bandit Gang tasked him with hitting the Loulan Sect and guaranteed there would be no issues, but his Secret Technique indicated impending minor misfortune. However, under pressure, he had no choice but to comply with the orders.

He had heard that because resources in the desert of the Northwest Region were limited, every so often, the numbers of either the Human Race or the Demon Race needed to be decreased.

Therefore, this operation likely had the tacit consent of the higher-ups from both races and indeed went very smoothly. Before the operation, a foolish female Cultivator from the Loulan Sect came looking for them, and he intentionally allowed her to find them.

Although she caused him some unexpected inconvenience, fortunately, he had many trump cards, and the foolish female Cultivator fell into his hands.

"Very smooth! A shame she found an opportunity to take her own life," thought of the woman who called herself Yao Xixue, Huang Batian, who was nervous due to the Secret Technique indicating major calamity, couldn't help but lick his lips.

However, at that moment, a piercingly cold sword energy suddenly descended from the sky, stabbing straight at the protective shield of the yellow sand shuttle.

Huang Batian's face turned pale with shock, and he immediately maneuvered the yellow sand shuttle to dodge, but the sword energy was too fast, and he couldn't avoid it; the tail of the yellow sand shuttle was directly severed by the sword energy.

This was precisely the Five Elements Extermination Slash unleashed by Yu Qingtan. Under the guidance of the Fourth Stage Heavenly Mystery Talisman, Yu Qingtan had finally located the position of the Yellow Sand Bandit Gang.

Feeling the intensity of the attack, Huang Batian swallowed an Elixir, his strength forcibly elevated to the Nascent Soul Late Stage temporarily. He controlled the yellow sand shuttle to drift away in another direction.

However, Huang Batian discovered with horror that the surrounding sand was turning into solid stone, and the speed of the yellow sand shuttle dropped dramatically.

Yu Qingtan was using the Steel Ground Technique. She had long since mastered such conventional five-element spells, which were at her fingertips.

"Fellow Daoist, give me a chance to live, or else I'll make billions of ordinary people accompany us to the grave!" Feeling Yu Qingtan's hope-crushing strength, Huang Batian shouted loudly.

"Spirit Fixation!" Yu Qingtan's lips curled in a cold smile as her indifferent words sealed the fate of Huang Batian and the Yellow Sand Bandit Gang.

With Yu Qingtan's current strength, dealing with a Mid-Nascent Soul Cultivator was like an adult fighting a baby.

Under the influence of the Mind Immobilizing Spell, Huang Batian, the Taoist Instrument Yellow Sand Shuttle, and everyone inside it became like statues.

Once again, Yu Qingtan executed the Five Elements Extermination Slash, bisecting the Yellow Sand Shuttle, then blue flames sprouted from every member of the Yellow Sand Bandit Gang except for Huang Batian, and within a few moments, everything but their storage equipment had been burned to nothingness.

Yu Qingtan placed the commoners and cultivators kidnapped by the bandits into her own Taoist Instrument space, then sealed away Huang Batian's cultivation level and took him back to the Tanxian Ship.

Under the Truth Talisman, Huang Batian confessed everything clearly. After the interrogation, Yu Qingtan handed the thoroughly wicked Huang Batian over to Yao Xiyue for disposal.

As for the spoils of battle, Yu Qingtan's biggest gains were Huang Batian's Lifebound Artifact, the Yellow Sword, and the Secret Technique for predicting fortunes and misfortunes—the Hongluan Secret Omen.

This was a legacy from antiquity, recorded on an unknown beast hide, tracing back to a powerful ancient being—the Hongluan Venerable.

Void Refinement Cultivators can be titled Emperors, Body Integration Cultivators can be titled Venerables, and those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage can be titled Emperors.

The Hongluan Venerable was a natural genius, proficient in the ways of heaven and earth, adept at deducing the future's good and bad fortunes from the subtle changes between heaven and earth. It took him his entire life to create this secret technique.

This Secret Technique was different from ordinary divinations; it didn't just rely on changes in the heavens or stars, but also integrated the cultivator's own cultivation level and fate, allowing for precise predictions of fortune and misfortune.

Therefore, this Secret Technique was easy to learn but hard to master, specially suited for cultivators with strong fate. Huang Batian's acquisition of the Hongluan Secret Omen signified his extraordinary luck, but unfortunately, he encountered Yu Qingtan.

"This Hongluan Secret Omen does suit Shen Wanning and me quite well." Yu Qingtan thought, and then she transmitted it to her avatar, the Green Holy Maiden, through the System Space, asking Green Holy Maiden and Shen Wanning to research and study it together.

Additionally, Yu Qingtan extracted information about the backers of this gang of bandits from Huang Batian; it turned out to be the Sand Scorpion Tribe, which was governed by a Fifth-Stage Demon Venerable.

Due to the scarcity of resources, the Northwest Region had far fewer Fifth-Stage existences than the Southeast Region, hence the Loulan Sect only had one Divine Transformation Cultivator, and the Sand Scorpion Tribe only had one Fifth-Stage Demon Venerable.

"Since that's the case, then the target is you, Sand Scorpion Demon Venerable!" Yu Qingtan's eyes narrowed as she stepped out of the room, only to discover that Huang Batian had been flayed a thousand times by Yao Xiyue, leaving behind only a skeleton and the Nascent Soul inside.

Yu Qingtan hadn't expected the seemingly harmless Yao Xiyue to be capable of such an act and mentally gave her a thumbs-up.

"Your blade can't hurt his Nascent Soul. From now on, follow me; we can torment that Nascent Soul slowly over time," Yu Qingtan said as she pulled out a jade vial, drew out Huang Batian's Nascent Soul, and stuffed it into the bottle.

In fact, if Yu Qingtan hadn't sealed Huang Batian's cultivation, Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Xiyue wouldn't have been able to break even his skin.

"Thank you, senior, for avenging my sister. I, Xiyue, am willing to be at the beck and call of the senior, through fire and water," Yao Xiyue knelt in front of Yu Qingtan and said with determination in her eyes.

"My name is Yu Qingtan; others usually call me Fairy Qingtan. I don't need you to dash through fire and water; just focus on cultivating and living well," Yu Qingtan said as she lifted her with spiritual power, and cast Purification Spell and Life-Death Manipulation Technique on her.

"Yes, Fairy Qingtan!" Yao Xiyue replied, but in her heart, she had already decided to do everything within her power for Yu Qingtan.
