My Fairy Growth System

Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Body Refinement and Foundation Establishment: Listening to the Dao Lecture

"What are you doing, don't you know that private spell duels are forbidden in the valley?"

At that moment, a male voice chided from midair.

Simultaneously, a robe floated down, covering the body of the grievously sinful female cultivator.

"Ah~"

A piercing scream sounded.

...

"Alright, we have understood the situation. Inner Sect Disciple Bai Xun and Yu Qingtan engaged in a private spell duel, with Bai Xun striking first. Bai Xun will be fined two hundred Sect Contribution Points and confined to the Reflection Room for ten days. Yu Qingtan will be fined one hundred Sect Contribution Points."

In a side hall of the Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, Deputy Hall Master Pang Zaisi spoke with a cold face to the three people standing below.

The public areas of Tianxiang Valley all have the capability of an image-recording function in the protective Great Array.

However, he had already asked a junior sister to delete some inappropriate images.

"Elder Uncle Pang, she was clearly the one who initiated the fight!"

The tall female cultivator retorted unwillingly, the slap mark still stinging on her face.

"Fang Qi, she did not use Spiritual Power before that. As for verbal disputes and fights, the Sect does not get involved."

Pang Zaisi responded coldly, his clean-cut face twitching at the corner of his mouth.

Bai Xun was still wearing his robe, gazing at him with fervent eyes.

Dressed in his clothes, Bai Xun indeed appeared more enticing, but he...

"Do any of you still have objections?"

The three said nothing more.

Pang Zaisi swiftly left the side hall.

"Hehe~" Yu Qingtan sneered, leaving the side hall to go to another and pay a fine of ten thousand Spirit Stones.

One Sect Contribution Point can be exchanged for one hundred Spirit Stones; usually, it doesn't work the other way around, but it is an exception when the Sect imposes a fine — one hundred Spirit Stones can offset one Contribution Point.

Back at the courtyard.

She let Little Tao out into the open space to get some air. It liked to run wild too, but being a creature with intelligence, it knew restraint.

It hadn't finished digesting and absorbing the Heavenly Demon meat it recently ate.

Entering the Cultivation Room, Yu Qingtan first learned the Second Stage Breath-Concealing Technique.

Having a solid foundation in the first stage, she quickly mastered the Second Stage Breath-Concealing Technique.

Then, Yu Qingtan took out a pile of Medium Grade Spirit Stones and began to cultivate the Greenwave Technique.

Recently, she had been luxuriously using Medium Grade Spirit Stones for her cultivation.

"Hmm~"

"Yes, it's really worth coming today."

After Zixin took her seat, the entire hall fell silent.

"The path of cultivation first and foremost requires steadfastness of heart. What is steadfastness of heart? The Dao is comprehended through the heart, the heart is enlightened by the Dao. When the heart is enlightened, the Dao descends, and when the Dao descends, the heart understands..."

Zixin did not waste words and began to lecture directly.

An hour later, she departed gracefully on her sword, leaving behind disciples still immersed in contemplation.

Yu Qingtan listened attentively, her understanding deepened significantly.

After another period equivalent to the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Yu Qingtan emerged from her contemplation.

The others had already begun to trickle out.

At this moment, a cute girl in a pink dress came up to Yu Qingtan and sweetly asked, "Sister, hello, is this your first time attending the Lecture Hall?"

Faced with a doe-eyed loli who was a head shorter than herself, Yu Qingtan felt smitten by her cuteness.

"Yes, it is," Yu Qingtan replied with a smile.

"Then, sister, would you need any of the past lectures' Sound-recording Jade Slips? It's only a thousand Spirit Stones each, do you want to buy some?" the girl in the pink dress sweetly asked, with the corners of her eyes slightly turned up, resembling a little, shrewd fox.

Yu Qingtan's mind stirred at the words; she wouldn't be able to stay sequestered in the sect for extended periods, and having the recordings of the lectures on Jade Slips would be quite handy.

"I would like to, but I don't have many Spirit Stones, could you make it cheaper? How about a hundred Spirit Stones each?"

Yu Qingtan put on a pitiful face as she spoke.

The girl in the pink dress stiffened.

"Sister, you're driving a hard bargain here, the lowest I can go is five hundred Spirit Stones each. If you buy more than ten, there's a 10% discount. I have thirty here," she said.

"Deal, I'll take all thirty," Yu Qingtan declared decisively.

From the strange looks the nearby disciples gave her, Yu Qingtan felt she might have been overcharged.

But as long as she felt it was worth it, that was all that mattered.

"Sister is straightforward,"

The girl in the pink dress was somewhat surprised but responded happily.

Yu Qingtan checked the Sound-recording Jade Slips and after confirming they were fine, she paid thirteen thousand five hundred Spirit Stones.

The Jade Slips contained lectures from only five cultivators, which was quite normal.

The so-called Dao is not to be imparted lightly, nor the law to be transmitted casually.

Most cultivators were unwilling to have the contents of their lectures sold.

The girl in the pink dress also gifted a Sound-recording Array Method that could be used for recording as well as playing the sound from the Sound-recording Jade Slips.

After the transaction, both parties felt satisfied and departed, convinced they had made a good deal.
