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

Upon hearing this, the elders and disciples understood that Fan Niannian was not the murderer either.

The oath of inner demons is the most solemn vow a cultivator can take; once broken, the consequences are unimaginable. Fan Niannian's willingness to make this vow clearly demonstrates her strong confidence in her innocence.

The elder pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Niannian, since you dare to make such a solemn vow, I will believe you."

The disciples nodded in agreement.

Actually, none of them wanted Senior Sister Fan to be the murderer, and they all breathed a sigh of relief after the results came out.

After the farce ended, Lin Yitang met with Fan Niannian alone and sincerely apologized: "Senior Sister Fan, I didn't think things through today and wronged you. Please forgive me."

Fan Niannian shook her head: "Junior Sister Lin, I know you were thinking of the sect. This is not your fault. It is I who rashly entered your spiritual field and caused you to be wronged. I feel really bad about it."

She changed the subject, her tone becoming serious: "But right now, the Seven-Colored Ganoderma has been stolen, and the real culprit has not yet been found. We cannot let our guard down. Junior Sister Lin, do you have any clues?"

Lin Yitang also shook her head and said no.

But Fan Niannian's expression hardened, and she lowered her voice and said, "I do have some clues."

Lin Yitang was startled and quickly leaned over to listen.

Fan Niannian set up a soundproof barrier before saying, "That day, I went into the spirit field to check on the growth of the spirit herbs and found a male cultivator acting suspiciously in the field, not knowing what he was doing. When I went up to ask him, he turned around and ran away, and accidentally injured me."

Fan Niannian pointed to her arm, which had been scratched in the spirit field, and continued, "I originally planned to investigate this person secretly. The reason I didn't tell anyone was to avoid alerting him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang's eyes lit up: "Senior Sister, did you get a good look at that person's face?"

Fan Niannian shook her head: "He was wearing a bamboo hat, so I couldn't see his face. But I remembered his movements and aura. If I see him again, I will definitely recognize him."

Lin Yitang nodded, and after a moment's thought, said, "This matter is of great importance, and we should inform the elders. With just the two of us, we probably won't be able to find out the truth. It would be better to enlist the help of the sect to bring the real culprit to justice."

Fan Niannian pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "Junior Sister is right. Let's go and report to the elder."

The two told the elder about the matter, and the elder frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

The theft of the seven-colored Ganoderma lucidum not only involves Lin Yitang, but also Fan Niannian, the senior sister of Lingcao Peak. The person behind it must have ill intentions and want to cause internal strife in Lingcao Peak.

This matter is of great importance. If the truth cannot be found out as soon as possible, it will be difficult to explain to the sect.

Just then, Lin Yitang suddenly spoke up: "Elder, I have an idea."

The elder and Fan Niannian both looked at her, wanting to hear what solutions Lin Yitang could offer.

Lin Yitang said, "Since the real culprit has not yet been caught, why don't we turn the tables on him? We can fake a seven-colored Ganoderma lucidum and claim that the one that was stolen before was fake, and this one is the real one. In this way, the real culprit will definitely strike again."

Upon hearing this, the elder's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected this young disciple to come up with such a brilliant plan. But he quickly frowned again: "But how do we make this fake Ganoderma lucidum? And how can we fool the real culprit?"

Fan Niannian's eyes lit up, and she suddenly smiled slightly, saying confidently, "Elder, don't worry, I might have a way to make fake Ganoderma lucidum. Leave the forgery to me. I'm confident I can make a Ganoderma lucidum that's indistinguishable from the real thing."

"As for how to deceive the real culprit, we can deliberately spread rumors that the fake Ganoderma lucidum will be returned to its original location to continue nourishing the spiritual herbs on the peak. Since the real culprit has already succeeded once, he will definitely be more confident and will walk right into our trap."

The elder's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, laughing, "Excellent! This plan is brilliant. Lin Yitang, Fan Niannian, this matter is entrusted to the two of you. If successful, there will be a great reward!"

Lin Yitang and Fan Niannian exchanged a glance, a hint of joy flashing in their eyes. They knew this was not only an opportunity to clear their names, but also a chance to prove themselves.

Soon, Lin Yitang and Fan Niannian began to act. They deliberately spread rumors that the seven-colored Ganoderma lucidum that had been stolen was fake, a counterfeit, and that the real Ganoderma lucidum was actually in Fan Niannian's possession and would be returned to its original location in a few days.

The news caused an uproar throughout Lingcao Peak. All the disciples of Lingcao Peak were overjoyed, realizing that their Seven-Colored Lingzhi had not been stolen and that it was all a scheme by the elders and Fan Niannian.

Under the cover of night, Lin Yitang and Fan Niannian arrived at Fan Niannian's cave.

Lin Yitang looked at the familiar inner disciple's cave dwelling, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She turned her head and asked curiously, "Senior Sister Fan, you said you have a method, how do you make this fake Ganoderma lucidum?"

Fan Niannian smiled and said, "Junior sister, don't worry. I once obtained a legacy in a secret realm that allows one item to temporarily absorb the aura of another. Leave this fake Ganoderma lucidum to me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang suddenly remembered that such a technique had indeed been mentioned in the original text.

This is a technique that appears later in the book, used by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Taique Sect named Wunian Zhenjun. This technique can temporarily confuse enemies in battle and is quite mysterious. However, because Wunian Zhenjun had a grudge against the female protagonist Ye Qiuli, she was killed by Ye Qiuli, who then obtained this technique.

Could it be that Fan Niannian is the Wunian Zhenjun from the later part of the original story?

Lin Yitang was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister Fan, are you a genius?"

"Ok?"

Fan Niannian was stunned for a moment, then immediately puffed out her chest: "Of course, as the senior sister of Lingcao Peak, I am of course a genius. Although I have dual spiritual roots of water and wood, I broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage at the young age of twenty, and I am now striving for the late Foundation Establishment stage! I am a rare genius in Taique Sect!"

"You need to understand that in the cultivation world, most people only have four or five spiritual roots. It's already rare for someone to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Anyone who can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage before the age of twenty is a genius in history!"

"Of course, she still can't compare to Ye Qiuli from Danfu Peak. Ye Qiuli is just too monstrous. She reached the peak of Qi Refining at only fifteen years old. Who knows, she might break through to Foundation Establishment before she turns fifteen. If that happens, she will truly be an unparalleled genius."

Fan Niannian sighed.

Lin Yitang also sighed. She didn't expect it to really be Fan Niannian. With such talent, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage was inevitable.

She immediately looked at Fan Niannian with pity. How pitiful! As a supporting female character just like herself, the final result was that she would be skinned and dismembered by the female lead, becoming a stepping stone for the female lead to become stronger, and also losing her own opportunities.
