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

She said to Fan Niannian, "Senior Sister Fan, if possible, could you give me your contact information? I think we might have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

Fan Niannian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, this is my communication talisman. Come find me if you have any difficulties in the future."

......

The next day, Lin Yitang and Fan Niannian returned the fake Ganoderma lucidum to its original place as planned. As night fell, the two silently staked out the spirit field, waiting for the real culprit to appear.

Time passed by, and all around was silent except for the rustling of the herbs in the breeze.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by and flew straight towards the fake Ganoderma lucidum. The person moved nimbly, probably at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Fan Niannian jumped out and shouted, "Stop! Who are you? Why are you stealing the Seven-Colored Ganoderma?"

The man was clearly caught off guard by the ambush and was startled. He paused, about to turn and run away, but found that Lin Yitang had blocked his way.

In his panic, the cloth covering his face fell down, revealing his true appearance.

"It's you!" Lin Yitang exclaimed in surprise.

The person who arrived was none other than Chen Qi!

Chen Qi was shocked; he hadn't expected to be caught red-handed here.

He forced himself to remain calm and said awkwardly, "Lin Yitang, Fan Niannian, what are you doing? Are you trying to frame me?"

Fan Niannian sneered, stepped forward, and her eyes were piercing: "Chen Qi, now that things have come to this, do you still want to make excuses? The sect has not yet investigated the case of the theft of the Seven-Colored Ganoderma, and you can't even hold back anymore? With such greed and despicable behavior, do you deserve the Taique Sect disciple's robes you wear?"

Chen Qi's expression changed, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes. He forced a smile and said, "You're making baseless accusations! I was merely passing by and saw the Ganoderma lucidum. Out of curiosity, I wanted to take a look. How could you accuse me of stealing it?"

Fan Niannian snorted coldly, pointed at Chen Qi, and said sharply, "Chen Qi, do you think we're fools? In the middle of the night, you came to the spirit field sneaking around with my Spirit Herb Peak disciple's token. You clearly have ulterior motives! Moreover, you still have the aura of the Seven-Colored Spirit Mushroom on you. The evidence is conclusive. What else do you have to say?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi's face turned deathly pale. He never expected that despite his extreme caution, he had still slipped up. His eyes flickered, as if he were pondering a solution.

Seeing this, Lin Yitang also sneered, "Chen Qi, I advise you to confess honestly. The sect takes the theft of the Seven-Colored Ganoderma extremely seriously. If you confess, you might receive leniency. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."

"Speak! Who sent you? What were you planning to do by stealing the Seven-Colored Ganoderma? You have a close relationship with Ye Qiuli, the personal disciple of the Danfu Peak Master. Is this related to her? Explain everything clearly!"

Lin Yitang knew that Chen Qi would never implicate Ye Qiuli. In comparison, he would rather take the blame himself.

As expected, Chen Qi gritted his teeth and said dejectedly, "Fine, I admit I stole it. It has nothing to do with Senior Sister Ye."

"I can't stand the sect's cold treatment. I want to acquire a valuable treasure so that I can gain a foothold in the sect in the future. The Seven-Colored Spirit Mushroom is good, but I also know that stealing it is a serious crime. I am willing to accept the sect's punishment, and I only ask that the sect treat me leniently."

His tone was sincere and his attitude frank, as if he were truly just a disciple who had made a momentary lapse in judgment.

As soon as he finished speaking, the elder of Lingcao Peak slowly appeared from the side, followed by several law enforcement disciples, their expressions solemn.

He looked at Chen Qi with a disappointed tone: "Chen Qi, so it was you. You were considered a genius in the outer sect of Tai Que Sect. I never expected you to do such a foolish thing."

Chen Qi's face turned pale; he hadn't expected that the elder was right beside him while he was speaking.

He knelt down with a thud: "Elder, I know I was wrong! Please punish me!"

The elder snorted coldly and said, "The Seven-Colored Lingzhi is a treasure of our sect. You dared to steal it without permission. Your crime deserves death! Fortunately, the Lingzhi has not been lost yet, and you have confessed your crime. Considering that this is your first offense and that you have a repentant heart, I will give you a lighter punishment."

He swept his gaze across the crowd and said in a deep voice, "From this day forward, in the name of the Second Elder of the Taique Sect, I hereby expel Chen Qi from the outer sect and demote him to a menial disciple. If he commits another offense, he will not be spared!"

When this statement came out, everyone was lost.

Chen Qi's face turned ashen, and he kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you for your mercy, Elder."

He knew that admitting his mistakes would be severely punished, but fortunately, he wasn't stripped of his cultivation or expelled from the sect. As long as he remained in the Taique Sect, even on the Miscellaneous Service Peak, Senior Sister Ye could find a way to get him out.

The news of Chen Qi's expulsion from the outer sect spread like wildfire throughout the sect.

Lin Yitang finally escaped the disdain of the Lingcao Peak disciples and established good relationships with them. The elders also applied to the sect to grant rewards to Fan Niannian and Lin Yitang.

Fan Niannian received one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, ten bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills, one mid-grade magic weapon, one high-grade spirit herb, the Marrow Cleansing Flower, and a high-grade cultivation technique given by the elder.

Lin Yitang received one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, ten bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills, five Qi Cultivation Pills, a mid-grade magic weapon, a high-grade spirit herb, Spirit Gathering Grass, and a high-grade wood-type cultivation technique given by the elder.

These are all top-notch cultivation resources.

This made the two of them very happy!

Although Lin Yitang received a Spirit Nourishing Pill, which is not as valuable as the Spirit Gathering Pill used in the Foundation Establishment stage, the sect compensated for the value with five Yuan Cultivation Pills in order to ensure fairness.

Unfortunately, Lin Yitang didn't need the Qi-Nourishing Pill, so she immediately sold it to someone else for a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Because the Qi-Nourishing Pills provided by the sect are of high quality, classified as top-grade, there are still people scrambling to buy them even at the price of 200 each.

Both outer and inner disciples are severely lacking in resources!

Even a thousand low-grade spirit stones are only equivalent to one mid-grade spirit stone.

The sect's gift of a hundred mid-grade spirit stones is incredibly generous!

That's enough to buy several mid-grade magic weapons!

As for the Spirit Gathering Grass, it is not a spiritual plant like the Five Tripods Begonia that can be eaten directly; it must be made into a pill before it can be used.

However, she plans to keep it, neither selling it nor feeding it to Wudingtang, perhaps she can exchange it for something else in the future.

Spirit Gathering Grass is a rare and valuable item, only found in major sects. Selling or consuming it would be a huge loss.

She then looked at the mid-grade magic artifact. In the cultivation world, magic treasures are divided into magic artifacts and spiritual artifacts. Magic artifacts and spiritual artifacts are further divided into upper, middle and lower grades. Spiritual artifacts are generally used by people above the Golden Core stage, while magic artifacts are generally used by people in the Qi Refining stage.

The sect gave Lin Yitang a mid-grade magic weapon, which was considered a gift beyond her level. Given her cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining, she couldn't possibly use a magic weapon from the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, she was very happy that the sect gave her a spirit sword, which was perfect for her to practice swordsmanship.

Perhaps the sect leader still thinks she's a sword cultivator; that's thoughtful of him. Fan Niannian received a storage ring called the Spirit Rhinoceros Ring; after all, as a direct disciple of Spirit Grass Peak, she doesn't lack magical artifacts.

Yes, she only found out later that Fan Niannian was a direct disciple of the peak master of Lingcao Peak, holding the same status as she had before.

Moreover, Fan Niannian is also proficient in the art of medicine making. Medicine making is different from alchemy. It does not require a fire-type spiritual root, but rather requires familiarity with the effects of various spiritual herbs and plants.

The potions made from pharmaceuticals have similar effects to elixirs, but without the toxicity of elixirs. However, most people choose to refine elixirs because pharmaceuticals are more difficult to make, the process is more complex, there is less inheritance, and it is difficult to master them.

Coming to Lingcao Peak and making friends with such a big shot is definitely worth it!

Fan Niannian also promised to give any weeds or spiritual plants that she removed to Lin Yitang, since Spirit Herb Peak didn't need them.

This made Lin Yitang even happier.
