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

A month passed in the blink of an eye. After completing her mission, Lin Yitang returned to her residence.

She first checked her points and found that she already had 140 points, the extra 40 of which were accumulated by the original owner.

She secluded herself in her cave for another two months to cultivate. She placed the spirit stones into her spatial storage, and the Five-Cauldron Begonia received ample nourishment, growing exceptionally rapidly. Each use of it brought astonishing results.

Lin Yitang devoted herself wholeheartedly to cultivation in her cave. She spent all her time compressing and improving the quality of spiritual energy, and before she knew it, her cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

However, the path of cultivation was not smooth sailing, and she had to stop her seclusion.

Because she got stuck.

A cultivator's breakthrough is not simply dependent on the accumulation of spiritual energy; each major and minor stage has its specific bottlenecks. Not everyone can be like the female protagonist, achieving a sudden enlightenment and advancing three stages without any bottlenecks, as if spiritual energy flows naturally to its destination.

Lin Yitang could clearly feel the surging spiritual energy within her body, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break through that barrier. She was as if separated from the seventh level of Qi Refining by a thin membrane; no matter how much spiritual energy washed over and impacted her, she couldn't break through that thin barrier.

She began to reflect on her cultivation methods, wondering if she had focused too much on accumulating spiritual energy while neglecting other aspects.

She recalled her daily sword practice. Although her swordsmanship was improving day by day, the lack of real combat experience prevented her from reaching the next level. Perhaps what she needed was a real battle to unleash her potential and break through her current predicament.

So, Lin Yitang decided to emerge from seclusion. She returned to the Mission Hall to find a suitable mission. This time, she saw the same missions she had looked at before.

Lin Yitang still couldn't accept the One Sword's Edge mission, even though the reward had increased to 40 points, she still felt it wasn't worth it.

However, a new task added by Beast Taming Peak caught her attention—it was also about feeding spirit beasts, but the reward was as high as 150 points.

Lin Yitang recalled reading about the female protagonist receiving missions from the Beast Taming Peak in the novel, and thus had some understanding of these missions. On the surface, these missions were simply about feeding spirit beasts, but in reality, these spirit beasts wouldn't obediently follow orders, and one could easily get hurt by them if not careful.

Some spirit beasts are naturally sensitive and afraid of humans, and may attack immediately if approached. There is also the possibility of spirit beasts escaping their cages due to improper supervision. In short, Beast Taming Peak is a rather dangerous place.

Lin Yitang didn't want anyone else to take the mission, so she immediately accepted it. She made some preparations and went to Beast Taming Peak.

This time, she bought some basic items such as sound transmission talismans and image retention jade, so that she wouldn't have to worry about being framed in a critical moment.

Beast Taming Peak is located in the northeast corner of the sect, quite far from where Lin Yitang is. Traveling at the speed of a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator, it took her nearly an hour to arrive.

The environment of Beast Taming Peak is completely different from that of Spirit Herb Peak. Here, the mountains are steep, the forests are dense, and a faint smell of beasts permeates the air. From time to time, the roars of wild animals can be heard, making people wary.

Lin Yitang walked up the winding path. Disciples passed by in a hurry from time to time. Some were alone, and some were in groups, but without exception, they all carried a strong aura of spirit beasts.

On the mountainside were several enormous animal sheds. Through the open doors, one could see various mythical beasts imprisoned inside. Some were enormous and incredibly powerful, while others were agile and exceptionally nimble. They lay on the ground or paced in their cages, their eyes occasionally flashing with a glint of intelligence, as if they possessed wisdom.

When Lin Yitang arrived at the mission location, she saw a male cultivator intently feeding a spirit beast.

The spirit beast was pure white, with a pair of wings, and made chirping sounds. The male cultivator gently fed the spirit herb into the beast's mouth, and the beast obediently cooperated, occasionally nuzzling the male cultivator's hand with its head.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yitang couldn't help but be a little surprised. She originally thought that feeding spirit beasts was a dangerous thing, but she didn't expect to see such a harmonious scene.

The male cultivator noticed Lin Yitang's arrival and looked up. He was slightly taken aback when he saw her, then a look of confusion appeared on his face: "Junior sister, are you here to receive the feeding mission?"

Lin Yitang nodded: "Exactly. I'll trouble you for your guidance, senior brother."

The male cultivator put down the spiritual herbs in his hand, stood up and walked towards Lin Yitang: "Junior sister is in charge of feeding the spiritual chickens over there."

He pointed to a livestock shed not far away and said.

Lin Yitang looked in the direction the male cultivator was pointing and saw hundreds of spirit chickens imprisoned in the animal shed. They had brightly colored feathers, clear cries, and were densely packed in the shed. They were much prettier than chickens on Earth.

"These spirit chickens are top-quality ingredients for making immortal dishes. Their meat is delicious and nutritious. The spirit chickens we raise are all supplied to the sect's canteen, and they taste excellent. Junior sister, you should try them if you have the chance," the male cultivator introduced.

Lin Yitang's lips twitched. She had thought this was a dangerous mission worth 150 points, but it turned out to be just feeding chickens? Wasn't this an easy task?

The male cultivator seemed to have seen through Lin Yitang's thoughts and shook his head: "Junior sister, don't underestimate these spirit chickens. Although they are called spirit chickens, they are irritable and extremely difficult to tame. Moreover, there are many of them, and if they are not properly supervised, they may escape. In that case, searching all over the mountains and fields will be a troublesome matter."

He pointed to a spirit chicken trying to peck open the cage door with its sharp beak, and said helplessly, "You see, they are not only fierce, but also very cunning. Sometimes, in the blink of an eye, they can pull off some tricks. Once they escape, they are likely to hide somewhere and you won't be able to find them. So, although this task is simple, it is very mentally taxing to do, and cultivators don't like to take on this task."

Lin Yitang nodded and, following the male cultivator's instructions, deactivated the array on the spirit chicken coop and threw the spirit rice into the coop. The spirit chickens immediately flapped their wings and began to peck at the rice eagerly.

Lin Yitang stood to the side, watching the spirit chickens wolf down their food, and couldn't help but drift off into thought. She had initially thought this was a task that would improve her combat experience, but now it seemed to be nothing more than feeding chickens.

All she does all day is watch over the chickens, feed them rice, watch over the chickens, feed them rice—can that really improve her strength? Lin Yitang began to waver. She couldn't help but wonder if she had made the wrong decision.

Moreover, this task is 24/7, meaning she won't have time to cultivate. Although Wu Dingtang can improve her cultivation anytime, anywhere without meditating, this method of cultivation is ultimately not as solid as quiet meditation.

Lin Yitang sighed. Since she had chosen this task, she had to complete it seriously. Perhaps, in the process of feeding the spirit chicken, she might discover a breakthrough opportunity.
