My Fairy Growth System

Yu Qingtan saw this and swung the Weeping Blood Blade in her hand, which was forty zhang long. Its bright red blood light burst forth, consuming half of the energy she had absorbed along the way, and she fiercely slashed down at the blood-colored golden cauldron that was at a standoff with Blood God Peak.

Not only had the Weeping Blood Blade absorbed a large amount of blood from Third Stage Blood Demons and Golden Core Cultivators, the energy accumulated had reached its limit.

Now, using up half of it in one slash, its power was like the fury of the heavens; its momentum, like the earth collapsing.

"Clang~"

The blade easily broke through the Blood God Slaughter of the blood-colored golden cauldron and struck the blood-red cauldron.

Although the blood-red cauldron was not much damaged, as it was forged from the fragments of a Taoist Instrument, it was still propelled backward by the tremendous force of the strike, along with Bai Junjun.

A trench hundreds of zhang long appeared on the ground, deepening as it went, ending at the giant blood-colored cauldron.

Bai Junjun was behind it, her form no longer visible, but Yu Qingtan could feel her significantly weakened presence.

Yu Qingtan controlled Blood God Peak, ready to pursue her victory, when Fang Ling flashed in front of her and transmitted a message to her, "Qing Tan, can you spare her?"

His voice was weak, his gaze not daring to meet Yu Qingtan's.

"Fang Ling, I had already been prepared to stop, but she still wanted to attack. Besides, she is from the Extreme Path Demon Sect!" Yu Qingtan replied somewhat angrily through the message.

"Not everyone in the Demon Sect deserves to die. It's my fault that she attacked. I'll resolve the matter between her and me. I'm begging you," Fang Ling's voice even had a hint of pleading.

"Hmph, there's no need for you to intervene. If it weren't for the limitation to only use Blood Dao techniques, I would not be in such a plight.

I'll remember today's debt; you just wait," Yu Qingtan had not responded when Bai Junjun at the end of the trench packed up the blood-colored golden cauldron and took out a blood-colored jade token.

Bai Junjun, with her black hair disheveled and her red robe smeared with dirt, spoke with resentment, then crushed the token in her hand, and her figure disappeared in an instant.

Although Fang Ling and Yu Qingtan were exchanging messages, Bai Junjun also knew that Fang Ling was trying to stop this woman from continuing to strike at her.

"A Retreat Order!"

Yu Qingtan, Fang Ling, and Jia Siwen suddenly realized what the token Bai Junjun had crushed was.

Before, Yu Qingtan and Fang Ling had also exchanged information about the ruins of the Blood God Cult.

Fang Ling had also encountered the black-robed Guide, whom he asked about when the true lineage selection would take place, whether anyone had passed the true lineage selection over the years, and what benefits and responsibilities one would have upon passing.

The Guide had answered all his questions.

The true lineage selection took place over a month.

So far, no one had completely passed the true lineage selection.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If one passed, they would obtain everything left by the Blood God Cult, and their duty and mission would be to rebuild the Blood God Cult.

"Qing Tan, I am sorry!" Fang Ling said to Yu Qingtan, feeling very guilty.

"It doesn't matter!" Yu Qingtan was a bit angry, but it was not a big deal.

Although she had a grudge against the Extreme Path Demon Sect, her main issue was with the Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel and the Venerable Haokong, with the others being incidental.

Fang Ling had given her those two drops of Spirit Dew when she had first crossed over into this world, which had helped her through her first crisis.

Additionally, he possesses deep opportunities, with his grandfather standing by his side, making him one of the followers with immense potential.

If his strength improves by leaps and bounds, she could also benefit from "Love's Protection" and "Love's Sharing".

Although she couldn't reciprocate his feelings, Yu Qingtan nevertheless regarded him as an important friend.

Jia Siwen decided to silently play the role of an invisible onlooker at the sidelines, enjoying the spectacle.

As for Yu Qingtan's voice turning from pleasant to melodious, he didn't find it strange in the slightest.

Big shots always have a few tricks up their sleeve when they're out and about.

The three continued on their way, encountering another ten red-robed cultivators along the path.

Their blood served as the energy source for the Weeping Blood Blade; their Golden Cores became Fang Ling's resources for Dao Comprehension.

Afterward, they finally made it out of the range of the Third Stage Great Array, which Yu Qingtan referred to as the Blood and Windstorm Array. Its main purpose seemed to be filtering out cultivators who couldn't grasp the Blood Dao domain, and it was here that red-robed Golden Core cultivators grew even more densely populated.

After confirming with Fang Ling, Yu Qingtan finalized her guess about these red-robed cultivators.

They weren't living people but Blood Marionettes.

Meaning the five hundred red-robed Golden Core cultivators competing against Yu Qingtan, apart from a few who were outsiders who had received a fragment of Blood God Mountain, the rest were all Blood Marionettes.

Fang Ling knew the Blood Puppet Technique, but having just achieved Core Formation not long ago, he hadn't had the chance to create Third Stage Blood Marionettes.

Moreover, Fang Ling's Blood Marionettes were nowhere near as exquisite as the red-robed Golden Core cultivators – almost undetectable as puppets. Their Golden Cores were even more mysterious and elusive to Yu Qingtan and her companions.

Having left the Blood and Windstorm Array, the trio arrived at the foot of a small mountain on Blood God Island's central region.

By this time, less than ten days remained until the end of the true disciple trial.

The mountain was not high, only about eight hundred feet tall, and the mountain had hardly any vegetation, shrouded in a thick blood-red mist.

"Blood God Slaughter!" Yu Qingtan frowned.

The Blood God Slaughter emitted in small amounts from Yu Qingtan's Blood God Peak had effects of defense, attack, and inducing a bloodthirsty and violent nature.

Without even entering the mountain, the three already felt bloodlust surging in their hearts, and Jia Siwen, who had experienced the easy life under the big shot's wing, now had eyes glowing a fierce red.

Yu Qingtan performed a Purification Spell on him, and he returned to normal. However, given his condition, it was obviously inconvenient to take him up the mountain.

"This must be Blood God Mountain!" Fang Ling murmured as he looked at the mountain before him.

While Yu Qingtan was considering what to do with Jia Siwen, a group of three emerged from the previous Blood and Windstorm Array not far from them.

One person led the way, of tall stature, followed by two others, petite in build – likely one male and two females.

The Blood Marionettes dressed in red robes that Yu Qingtan had encountered had not formed groups, clearly indicating that these three were outsiders.

Upon seeing Yu Qingtan's group, the tall male strode over, his aura revealing the Late Stage of the Golden Core, a blood-colored armor materializing around him, while a blood-red staff appeared in his hands, wrapped in a layer of solid Blood God Slaughter similar to Blood God Mountain's aura.

The tall man eyed Yu Qingtan and called out boldly, "Qian has good luck indeed, having caught the scent of a beautiful lady once more. Pretty lady, once I kill these two men, you can follow big brother and enjoy the good life."

"Third Level of the Blood Dao domain, an ancient Taoist Instrument!" Jia Siwen exclaimed, his legs going weak, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Yu Qingtan and Fang Ling were surprised, but not yet afraid. The man's words only ignited their rage, and after exchanging a glance, they tacitly agreed that a preemptive strike was best.

Fang Ling's aura exploded, once again using a Secret Technique to boost his strength, reaching the Late Stage of the Golden Core.

In Jia Siwen's astonished gaze, a blood-colored armor, similarly consolidated by the Blood Dao domain, materialized on Fang Ling's body, then an invisible wave assaulted the tall man.

Blood Marionette Slash.
