My Fairy Growth System

Chapter 79: It’s Difficult to Supersede from Below

The elder in the purple robe stood midair on a Flying Spirit Sword, bringing forth a set of armor-like Spiritual Artifact for defense that enveloped his upper body. However, once the artifact was activated, it formed a protective barrier that covered his entire being.

Crimson Flying Swords circled around him, and the elder said, "You little thief, the items you’ve stolen are just inferior goods; the quality items are all with me. Let’s see if you dare to come and snatch them!"

Unable to locate his opponent, he had no choice but to provoke.

Most who dared to act this way in their store were self-proclaimed righteous, hot-blooded Cultivators, and he had killed many such Cultivators already.

Yu Qingtan never intended to leave, and hearing the elder’s words only solidified her resolve to deal with him.

Spiritual Power surged within her, and spikes of earth rose from the ground, aiming for the elder in the sky.

At the same time, her body emerged from the ground as a dozen Water Blades shot towards the elder.

Earth Spike Technique, Water Blade Technique.

The elder in the purple robe sneered inwardly. Controlling the Flying Spirit Sword, he evaded while the Crimson Flying Sword sent out an immense sword qi towards the location where the Spiritual Power fluctuated.

Sword Control Technique, Giant Sword Technique.

Both being Second Stage Spells, it was only with Yu Qingtan’s Water Escape Technique and Earth Escape Skill that she barely dodged that wide-ranging attack.

However, her Earth Spike Technique and Water Blade Technique were both merely First Stage Spells, and although several Water Blades managed to strike the elder, they only cut halfway through his barrier before dissipating.

Seeing that Yu Qingtan did not continue her attack, the elder in the purple robe chuckled lightly as a little boy appeared in his grasp, his neck pinched by the elder’s hand.

"Despicable old thief!" Yu Qingtan cursed inwardly.

Sometimes she felt that her Fairy Nurturing System was not powerful enough. Forget about Taoist Instruments and Immortal Artifacts, she didn’t even possess a Spiritual Artifact, except for the Moon Branch Magpie Hairpin, and her Spells and Cultivation Techniques were all just First Stage.

The System’s lucky draw was also a pitfall, offering items that could enhance combat capability at a miserably low chance. Every time, she merely consoled herself that obtaining anything was a gain.

But what else could she do, other than to work even harder to increase her Charm Points and Affection Value.

Returning to the battle scene.

The shop had collapsed due to the aftermath of the battle, and the Qi Practitioners of the black market were long gone.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s battle was not something that could be watched leisurely.

Meanwhile, three other shops were activating their Protective Arrays. Though only high-grade First Stage Arrays, each was protected by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator above the shop, who also enjoyed watching the spectacle.

As the elder’s grip began to tighten, Yu Qingtan acted once more.

The long-bearded cultivator in a green robe, bearing the surname Du, brightened up at hearing this and transmitted back, "Fine, but first, you need to hand over the Soul Nurturing Wood. You know what I’m capable of."

The cultivator with the surname Gao felt a twinge of pain at the thought but still took out the Soul Nurturing Wood, tossed it to the cultivator named Du, and transmitted, "Wait for me to prepare my spells."

Immediately afterward, he formed hand signs with his left hand and wielded a Crimson Flying Sword with his right, enduring several of Yu Qingtan’s Earth Spike assaults with the protection provided by his spiritual armor.

A massive Fire Net took shape.

Second Stage Fire Net Technique.

Cultivator Du, having received the Soul Nurturing Wood, acted without hesitation, landing on the ground and forming complex hand signs with both hands, then touching the ground with his right index finger.

Second Stage spell, Steel Ground Technique.

One must know that spells requiring hand signs for casting generally have high cultivation difficulty but possess great power.

Moreover, cultivator Du was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, while the other two were at the initial stage.

Yu Qingtan had originally planned to exploit the negligible spiritual power consumption during "Love’s Protection" to conduct hit-and-run tactics and exhaust the enemy’s energy before looking for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

But when her divine sense detected changes in the ground, she immediately felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, after another Earth Spike assault, just as Yu Qingtan thought about moving, she noticed the ground turning harder around her.

Yu Qingtan quickly escaped to the surface to avoid being trapped, but by then, a huge Fire Net had already enveloped the area.

And the Fire Net was slowly contracting.

Invisible Yu Qingtan felt somewhat at a loss; even though this was just her shadow clone, she had not had the chance to transfer the children in the Spirit Beast Pouch to System Space.

Seeing the Fire Net shrinking steadily, Yu Qingtan took out the Second Stage Escape Talisman that Fu Nian had given her from System Space.

She infused spiritual power and activated the Escape Talisman.

After a moment of slight dizziness, Yu Qingtan appeared in an empty room.

Maintaining her Invisibility Technique and Breath-Concealing Technique, Yu Qingtan went out to explore a bit.

This turned out to be a small courtyard on the west side of Immortal City.

A Second Stage Escape Talisman could randomly transport a person up to a hundred miles away and would avoid various formations and prohibitions.

Yu Qingtan transferred all the children from the Spirit Beast Pouch to System Space and then headed south toward Immortal City.
