The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

As for where the spirit of framing comes from?

Of course, it's from the spirit fields she's in charge of!

Her spirit field, which she had just watered yesterday, was filled with her rich water spiritual energy. If someone possessed the relevant disciple token, they could easily open the array surrounding the spirit field and obtain the spiritual water she had used for watering.

Lin Yitang carefully recalled the events of the day before yesterday, trying to remember if she had encountered anyone. Suddenly, she remembered that around dusk, there seemed to be a furtive figure lingering around her spiritual field, but she hadn't paid any attention to it at the time.

Thinking of this, she had an idea and decided to go to Spirit Herb Peak early in the morning to see if there were any clues in her spirit field.

The next morning, Lin Yitang arrived at Spirit Herb Peak. However, as soon as she stepped into the peak, she felt the strange looks cast upon her by the surrounding disciples. Those looks were filled with disgust, revulsion, and anger, as if she were a heinous villain.

Lin Yitang was puzzled, so she went up to ask a familiar disciple. She then learned that although she had cleared herself of suspicion by swearing an oath against her inner demons last night, many disciples of Lingcao Peak still believed that she was involved in the matter.

They believe that if Lin Yitang hadn't come to Lingcao Peak on a mission, the Seven-Colored Lingzhi might not have been stolen. Furthermore, the discovery of her spiritual energy at the scene suggests that she was likely connected to the thief.

At this moment, some disciples around her were whispering about her.

"It's all Lin Yitang's fault! If it weren't for her, how could the Seven-Colored Ganoderma have been stolen?"

"Exactly! Her spiritual energy appearing at the scene must mean she attracted the thieves!"

"I think she's just crying wolf. She might have orchestrated this herself and is trying to use this opportunity to clear her name!"

Hearing these words, Lin Yitang felt helpless, but knew there was nothing she could do.

At this point, she had become the public enemy of the entire Lingcao Peak.

Lingcao Peak is one of the eight peaks of the Taique Sect. It specializes in cultivating spiritual plants and refining spiritual medicines, which are supplied to the sect as exchange resources or used to refine pills for Danfu Peak. It holds an extremely high status.

In the past two days, news of her angering Lingcao Peak has spread throughout the Taique Sect. Many people sighed that it was quite remarkable to do such a thing, after all, the people of Lingcao Peak are generally gentle and mild-mannered, and it is hard to imagine that someone could provoke them to such an extent.

Lin Yitang had no choice but to head straight to the spirit field he was in charge of, looking for clues.

She carefully examined each spiritual herb, leaving no stone unturned. Suddenly, she discovered a trace of blood on the leaf of one of the herbs. The bloodstain was extremely faint; had she not looked closely, it would have been difficult to spot.

Lin Yitang's heart tightened, and she quickly squatted down to examine the leaf closely. She discovered that there were still some faint traces of spiritual energy remaining next to the bloodstain, subtly different from her own spiritual energy.

With her keen sense of spiritual energy, Lin Yitang quickly recognized that the residual spiritual energy belonged to a woman. Moreover, this woman's cultivation level should be above hers.

Lin Yitang made up her mind and began to carefully search along the edge of the spirit field. Finally, she found a footprint in a corner of the spirit field, with some trampled spirit herbs next to it.

Based on the footprints and the direction in which the spiritual herbs had fallen, Lin Yitang deduced that the person had climbed over the wall from outside the spiritual field and then headed straight for the seven-colored spiritual mushroom.

Lin Yitang followed the footprints and eventually arrived at a secluded grove. Holding her breath, she quietly entered the grove and discovered a female cultivator reading a jade slip.

The female cultivator had a beautiful face, but her brows were furrowed, and she exuded a faint aura of water and wood. Lin Yitang recognized at a glance that this aura was exactly the same as the residual aura in the spirit field.

"So it was you!" Lin Yitang shouted coldly, and in a flash, she stood in front of the female cultivator.

Upon seeing Lin Yitang, the female cultivator was first startled, then angrily exclaimed, "Lin Yitang, what are you doing here? Were you following me?"

Lin Yitang said coldly, "You know perfectly well why I'm here. The case of the stolen Seven-Colored Ganoderma has already made progress. I advise you to confess honestly to avoid any further complications!"

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator's expression changed, and she immediately shouted angrily, "You're spouting nonsense! What does the theft of the Seven-Colored Spirit Mushroom have to do with me? It's you who, as an outer disciple, let the wolf into the house, causing the theft of the Seven-Colored Spirit Mushroom. You are the real culprit!"

"Whether you're making baseless accusations or not, produce the evidence. I've already found your spiritual energy residue and footprints; the evidence is irrefutable. Do you still want to deny it?"

Lin Yitang snorted coldly and said, "Right and wrong will be judged by public opinion. I will go and find the elders to judge whether your actions are right or wrong!"

"Fine, let's go! I'll see who's in the right!"

Upon arriving at the Elder Hall of Lingcao Peak, Lin Yitang spoke frankly: "Elder, I have found the culprit behind the theft of the Seven-Colored Lingzhi."

The female cultivator immediately retorted, "Nonsense! I didn't steal any Ganoderma lucidum at all!"

The elders exchanged bewildered glances, and one of them frowned and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

When the elder saw the female cultivator, his expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Fan Niannian, why are you back? Didn't you go down the mountain to escort the spiritual herbs?"

The female cultivator, Fan Niannian, replied, "The mission of escorting the spiritual herbs has been completed. I just returned to the sect and was preparing to rest and recover my spiritual energy when this junior sister framed me!"

The surrounding disciples began to whisper among themselves.

"Judging from Lin Yitang's attitude, does she think Senior Sister Fan is the murderer?"

"How is this possible? Senior Sister Fan is usually of good character, how could she steal the Seven-Colored Ganoderma?"

The elder frowned and looked at Lin Yitang: "Why do you make such a judgment? Fan Niannian is the senior sister of my Lingcao Peak. She has profound cultivation and upright character. She would never do such a thing."

Lin Yitang said in a deep voice, "Elder, I know it is a bit presumptuous of me to say this, but it is the truth. I found Senior Sister Fan's spiritual energy residue and footprints in the spirit field. The evidence is irrefutable."

Upon hearing this, the elder's expression turned solemn, and he immediately stood up and said, "In that case, let's go to the spirit field and see what's going on."

The group arrived at the spirit field, where Lin Yitang pointed to the blood-stained spirit herb and the footprints on the ground, explaining them one by one. The elder examined them carefully, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

Finally, he sighed and said, "It really is Fan Niannian's spiritual energy. It seems there's more to this than meets the eye."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples were all shocked. As the senior disciple of Lingcao Peak, Fan Niannian was usually highly respected, and no one expected that she would be involved in the theft of the Seven-Colored Lingzhi.

"This...how is this possible? How could Senior Sister Fan..."

"Could it be, as Junior Sister Lin said, that someone deliberately framed us?"

"Why would Senior Sister Fan do this? It's really puzzling."

A murmur arose, but the elder raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He looked at Fan Niannian and said in a deep voice, "Niannian, do you have anything to explain?"

Fan Niannian was so angry she almost jumped up: "I didn't! There must be some misunderstanding! Elders, fellow disciples, I admit that I did come to this spirit field when I returned to the sect. But I absolutely did not steal the Seven-Colored Spirit Mushroom!"

She paused, then said, "Elder, Junior Sister Lin cleared herself of suspicion by swearing an oath to her inner demons, right? Then I will also swear an oath to my inner demons: if I ever tell a lie, may I suffer the backlash of my inner demons and have all my cultivation destroyed!"
