Looking at the suddenly appeared, plainly dressed unknown female loose cultivator, Fu Nian felt a jolt in his heart and tentatively transmitted his voice to inquire, "Qing Tan, is that you?"
Yu Qingtan gave an almost imperceptible nod, then held the Five Elents Canglan Umbrella, its face toward Qi Rui, and twisted the handle.
A series of white light pillars shot out from the umbrella's surface, targeting only Qi Rui.
It was none other than the Five Elents Extinction Divine Light.
As Yu Qingtan's lifebound magical treasure, it assists her in casting Five Elent spells and Dao techniques, reducing consumption, increasing might, and accelerating attack speed.
At this mont, the Five Elents Canglan Umbrella in Yu Qingtan's hands was like a beam cannon, continuously emitting the Five Elents Extinction Divine Light with a potency comparable to an ordinary Nascent Soul's single strike.
Qi Rui, too, harbored animosity toward her; it was Qi Rui who had captured her and delivered her to the monkey-faced eagle tribe in exchange for the Longevity Fruit.
Besides, Fu Nian was clearly no match for Qi Rui, so it was only natural for her to step in.
Facing such a powerful attack, Qi Rui's expression changed as he emitted a blood mist, forming a blood cocoon around him.
This was a third-stage superior formation, the Myriad Blood Profound Array.
Set up with the blood of ten thousand cultivators, it held many mysteries, and it was this formation that had previously fended off Fu Nian's attacks.
Now, the formation's area had shrunk, significantly bolstering its defensive capabilities.
The Five Elents Extinction Divine Light fired by Yu Qingtan hit the blood cocoon, causing damage but failing to penetrate it.
The flowing blood cocoon quickly repaired the damaged area.
However, facing the incessant attacks, Qi Rui produced a third-stage Escape Talisman, injected it with spiritual power, and activated it.
Given that his main objective had been achieved, Qi Rui felt there was no need to stubbornly clash with this Golden Core cultivator of unknown origins.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft~"
The Five Elents Extinction Divine Light finally pierced through the blood cocoon, but unfortunately, Qi Rui's figure was no longer inside.
"He actually got away!"
Yu Qingtan sighed; she had thought that the relentless waves of Five Elents Extinction Divine Light could easily deal with the pseudo core cultivator Qi Rui, not anticipating such a strong defensive asure from him.
Yu Qingtan cast a Rain of Fire Technique in the valley to incinerate the Qi family's corpses, then left the place with Fu Nian.
As for the wealth of the Qis, Qi Rui had essentially plundered it all.
After arriving at a safe location,
"Qing Tan, thank you for saving
once again, but what are you doing here?"
At that mont, Fu Nian approached, unable to contain his joy, making his frustration over his unfulfilled vengeance much less potent.
His spiritual beast, the Red Falcon, curiously sized up Yu Qingtan from his shoulder.
"I had so matters to attend to and had to return to Suichuan Immortal City; I happened to be passing by here. Also, congratulations on avenging your great grudge!"
"Yes, I have finally avenged it, although most of them died at the hands of Qi Rui. Why did you disguise yourself?"
"I ran into an enemy before, and since I was no match, I had to do this and hide for now. But it's fine, he can't do anything to ,"
Yu Qingtan said with resignation.
"I see!"
"What are your plans for the future? With your talent, if you wish to join Wendao Sect or All-World Academy, I can help introduce you," Yu Qingtan offered.
"Thanks, but nevermind. I prefer the freedom of being a loose cultivator.
Qing Tan, congratulations on ranking first on the Hundred Flowers List and third on the Pride of the Heavens List."
"Hehe, you're not too shabby yourself, thirty-ninth on the Pride of the Heavens List."
"Qing Tan, that..." Fu Nian seed to muster his courage, his gaze fixed on Yu Qingtan as if wanting to say sothing.
"Young Master Fu, I'm sorry, you are a good person, but my heart is already devoted to the great Dao!"
Yu Qingtan seed to know what Fu Nian was about to say, so she extended her right hand's index finger, gently pressing it against his lips, then spoke.
The look in Fu Nian's eyes beca sowhat dim, but he didn't feel too dejected.
For soone fairy-like as Yu Qingtan, she was never soone he could aspire to. Moreover, by saying these words, she also implied that she wouldn't be with soone else.
He instantly felt much better in his heart.
Maybe that poem from the past was just ant as encouragent for himself; after all, Qingtan was such a gentle person.
"I understand, from now on, we will be dao companions."
"Mhm!"
"Qingtan, since you're so strong, you could help
with sothing. I revisited the place where our Fu family found that fortune and am quite certain it's the legendary Divine Rune Honored One's cave dwelling. The real core area is protected by a fourth-stage top-quality formation, which we couldn't even detect before.
I visited it after reaching Core Formation, and that's when I noticed so clues. The formation, although fourth-stage top-quality, has weakened over such a long period. I estimate it to barely maintain the strength of the fourth stage. I think we can try to break in, what do you say?"
Fu Nian said.
The Divine Rune Honored One was a legendary figure in the Southeast Region thousands of years ago, a Late Phase of Divine Transformation cultivator, who was once known as the strongest in the Outer Realm.
"Great! Don't laugh at , Fu Talisman Master, but Qingtan is still a Second-Stage Talisman Master, right? However, I still have so things to take care of in the next few days. When do you plan to go?"
Yu Qingtan said, her interest in the Talisman Dao still piqued.
"Are you really the reincarnation of so fairy? With such talent and strength, you even know how to draw talismans. Is there anything you can't do?"
"I can't concoct pills!"
Yu Qingtan admitted truthfully, while Fu Nian took it as a joke.
"What about ten days from now?"
"Sure!"
After they finished talking, Fu Nian changed his appearance and then arrived at Suichuan Immortal City with the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishnt Stage, finding an inn to stay in.
Fu Nian had so matters to take care of, while Yu Qingtan wandered alone around the Suichuan Immortal City, a place both familiar and strange to her.
She visited Tianxiang Pavilion, Zhi Lan Pavilion, Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion, Arena, Drunken Fairy Building, Extre Flavor Pavilion, and others, though she didn't enter any of them.
Then, she ca to a courtyard with a sign that read "Tan Immortal Fan Club."
With a sweep of her divine sense, she found Han Daniu was there, so she sent him a ssage.
An excited Han Daniu hurriedly ca out to greet her.
"Han Daniu pays his respects to Fairy Qingtan. I will never forget the grace of Qingtan Fairy's guidance on the path of cultivation. I am willing to go through fire and water for the Fairy, without hesitation," he said.
Arriving at a living room, Han Daniu imdiately knelt down.
Back when he was at his most confused, it was Yu Qingtan who had offered him a helping hand.
Later on, she directly gave him a Foundation Establishnt Pill, allowing him to establish his foundation.
"You're too serious, Brother Han. We are friends; there's no need for this!" Yu Qingtan used her spiritual power to help him up.
"Besides, you're helping
by managing the Tan Immortal Fan Club. But don't neglect your cultivation – I've prepared a Core Formation Pill for you!"
Han Daniu was so shocked upon hearing this that he couldn't believe his own ears.
Yu Qingtan simply took out a Core Formation Pill and showed it to him, and only then did Han Daniu believe he wasn't dreaming.
It took a whole teacup's ti for Han Daniu to calm his emotions.
Yu Qingtan then discussed the establishnt of the Tan Immortal Fund with him and also provided him with a generous amount of resources.
Afterward, Yu Qingtan had Han Daniu arrange a secret et-up with mbers of the Suichuan Immortal City's Tan Immortal Fan Club.
Yu Qingtan t with You Xiwang and others there.
Ge Wenxiong reportedly joined the Barbarian Sect, while Song Zhenbo was said to have gone to Sunset Gate.
