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

After all that commotion, everyone around was drawn to the event, and even the disciples who had left made a special trip back.

Although no one knew what had happened or what had happened at the previous apprenticeship ceremony, it didn't stop them from knowing that Ye Qiuli seemed to have come to apologize to Lin Yitang and had been made to cry by Lin Yitang.

Why apologize? Why did Senior Sister Ye cry?

The crowd was puzzled and could only continue to observe.

However, the onlookers didn't understand, but Lin Yitang knew perfectly well. Because Yuheng blocked the news, most people in the sect only knew that Ye Qiuli had been punished to go to the back mountain for making a mistake, but they didn't know why she was punished.

Ye Qiuli's whole scheme was simply to frame Lin Yitang, to make everyone think that Lin Yitang was the one who harmed her, and to show everyone how pitiful she was and how badly she was bullied by Lin Yitang.

Then they used public opinion to crush Lin Yitang.

This cannot be allowed to go her way.

The next second, Lin Yitang showed a regretful expression, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Alas, there's nothing I can do. What Junior Sister did back then was too much. Although I can forgive you, the sect's rules cannot be broken."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd immediately began to discuss among themselves, wondering what excessive thing Ye Qiu had done.

Someone asked curiously, "Senior Sister Lin, what exactly happened? Why did Senior Sister Ye apologize to you?"

Lin Yitang glanced at Ye Qiuli with feigned surprise, then turned to look at everyone and said, "So you all don't know yet. Actually, at the disciple recruitment ceremony, Junior Sister Ye did not hesitate to commit a serious mistake of deceiving the sect in order to help her junior sister steal my captain position, which resulted in her being punished by being sent to the back mountain for three months."

"Although she now knows she was wrong, what happened back then can't be erased. That's why she came to apologize to me. However, it's a pity that I have already forgiven my junior sister. It's her own fault for being so upset, probably because she felt too guilty. Please be understanding."

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

They never expected that Ye Qiuli, who was usually gentle and kind, would do such a thing.

Ye Qiuli's face turned deathly pale instantly. She hadn't expected Lin Yitang to be so blunt in revealing the truth.

She gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes again: "Senior Sister Lin, how could you say that to me? I already apologized to you, why did you still humiliate me in front of everyone?"

Lin Yitang feigned surprise, widening her eyes and speaking with an innocent tone: "Junior Sister Ye, why would you think I'm humiliating you? I'm just stating the facts. Besides, everyone has the right to know the truth."

She paused, her tone softening slightly: "However, if you feel this is humiliating, then I apologize. It was my oversight; I shouldn't have said these things in public."

The disciples watching looked at each other in bewilderment.

They initially thought Lin Yitang had made Ye Qiuli cry and were about to speak up for her when Lin Yitang revealed the truth. Ye Qiuli didn't deny it, and now everyone knew why she had come to apologize.

Some disciples whispered among themselves, "So that's how it is. Senior Sister Ye actually did such a thing. It's really disappointing."

"Yes, I thought Senior Sister Lin had bullied Senior Sister Ye, and I was about to stand up for Senior Sister Ye. I never expected the truth to be like this."

"It seems I can't easily believe rumors anymore; I need to find out the truth of things."

Seeing this, Ye Qiuli realized that her plan had failed. Furthermore, she was further humiliated by Lin Yitang's words and had no choice but to leave in anger.

Before leaving, she glared fiercely at Lin Yitang, her eyes seeming as if she wanted to devour Lin Yitang alive.

Lin Yitang stood still, calm and composed.

Since Ye Qiuli had been embarrassed, Lin Yitang saw no need to pursue the matter further. Continuing to argue would only make her seem unreasonable and unforgiving.

Back in her cave, she began planning her next steps.

Although Ye Qiuli has returned, she is still at the tenth level of Qi Refining and has not yet broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Now is the time for her to go out and seek opportunities.

After carefully recalling the original plot, I realized that at this point in time, several secret realms should have opened.

The layout of the cultivation world can be roughly divided into four directions, with one place as the starting point, extending outwards to the southeast, northwest and southwest.

Her sect, Taique Sect, was located in the west, bordered by an endless forest teeming with demonic beasts and fraught with danger. To the south lay the territory of Tianyan Sect, bordered by an endless ocean teeming with sea creatures and equally perilous.

To the east lies the Tianxuan Sect, the largest sect in the cultivation world, bordered by the infamous Demon Realm, a place teeming with demonic cultivators. To the north are other sects of varying sizes, bordered by an ice plain, dotted with glaciers, where the air is bitterly cold.

The most dangerous places in the cultivation world are these four perilous areas, which are absolutely forbidden to enter or even venture into. These four perilous areas are surrounded by powerful sects, while the central areas in these four directions are relatively safe.

However, although it was safe, it had been thoroughly explored by people from all the major sects and forces in the cultivation world, leaving no secrets whatsoever.

Of course, there are almost no particularly dangerous places. The so-called 'dangerous places' are only for people with low cultivation levels, so Lin Yitang, who is in the Foundation Establishment stage, needs to be careful.

In addition, there are many caves and secret realms in this large central area.

Most of the cave dwellings were left behind by powerful figures after their deaths. Some have inheritances, while others do not, and those that can be explored have already been thoroughly searched. Only a few fixed inheritances will not dissipate, and those with the right destiny can obtain them. These cave dwellings are worth exploring for new disciples.

The only other thing that hasn't been fully explored is the secret realm that only opens once in a very long time.

Especially the great secret realms, because they are independent spaces and have been passed down for a long time, even powerful beings cannot break through or interfere with them. Some secret realms are even dangerous for Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation cultivators to enter. In addition, most secret realms have restrictions on entry, such as cultivation level and age, so secret realms are the first choice for many cultivators who are new to the world of cultivation.

Lin Yitang's chosen training ground was, of course, a secret realm.

In the world of cultivation, secret realms are the best way to obtain opportunities and improve one's strength. Compared to the dangers of perilous lands and the limited rewards of cave dwellings, secret realms are undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice.

Moreover, the great secret realms are dangerous, as they may contain cultivators at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul levels. For Lin Yitang, her first experience can only be to try some small secret realms where the cultivation level is limited to those below the Golden Core level.

Coincidentally, according to the original plot, this time coincides with the opening of some Foundation Establishment stage secret realms. This is because the female protagonist in the original story was in the Foundation Establishment stage for the past two years.

However, before embarking on the training, Lin Yitang had one more task to complete: reporting her cultivation level to the Inner Sect's Hall of Affairs.

Because the Taique Sect has a rule that only disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage or above can go out for training, she cannot leave the sect without reporting her cultivation level.

This rule is also to ensure the safety of disciples. After all, dangers are everywhere in the cultivation world, and without the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, it is impossible to survive in the cultivation world.
