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

Lin Yitang's confidence and arrogance left Li Wuwang somewhat speechless, both amused and exasperated.

He had no choice but to agree to Lin Yitang's request, since she was the peak master's junior sister.

As her senior, I couldn't refuse her request.

Before the sun set, the two set off for Yinling Spring. Lin Yitang led the way, with Li Wuwang following closely behind.

After reviewing the map, Lin Yitang realized that the Yin Spirit Spring wasn't too far from the exit of the secret realm; she could reach it in just one day. Therefore, she had some free time to collect some spiritual plants and items along the way.

Along the way, Lin Yitang led Li Wuwang through the mountains and forests. She seemed to know the surrounding environment like the back of her hand, and could always accurately find the hidden spiritual plants. What shocked Li Wuwang even more was that the places Lin Yitang went to were exceptionally rich in resources.

For example, when passing through what appeared to be an ordinary meadow, Lin Yitang casually pointed and had Li Wuwang dig up a spirit herb of considerable quality. Later, when passing through an ordinary grove of trees, Lin Yitang had him pick several fruits that shimmered with a strange light.

Even more surprisingly, beside what appeared to be an ordinary stream, Lin Yitang discovered a nest of spirit fish of considerable quality.

Li Wuwang followed behind Lin Yitang, completely dumbfounded. He simply couldn't believe his eyes; it was as if Lin Yitang was the embodiment of resources, bringing good things wherever she went.

He really wanted to ask Junior Sister Lin how she did it, how she accurately found where these spiritual objects were, as if she knew their locations in advance, even the hidden ones were not exempt!

But considering it might be an opportunity for his junior sister, he simply held back for the entire journey, controlling himself not to ask.

By the time they reached their destination, the Yinling Spring, the two had already reaped considerable rewards. Li Wuwang carefully tallied their gains and discovered they had acquired dozens of spiritual plants, including but not limited to:

Ten high-grade Flame Grass plants can be used to refine pills that enhance fire attribute cultivation.

Five century-old ginseng plants have remarkable healing effects;

Three Heavenly Frost Flowers, ice-attribute spiritual plants, can be used to refine ice-attribute magical treasures;

A piece of lightning-struck wood, rumored to be a tree that survived a lightning strike, is said to be of great benefit to lightning-attribute cultivators;

……

In addition, there were various grades of spirit stones and spirit ores, as well as some strange materials that Li Wuwang could not name.

Faced with such a bountiful harvest, Li Wuwang had gone from initial surprise to taking it for granted, and now to numbness. He looked at Lin Yitang, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Junior Sister Lin is truly amazing; he has never seen such a remarkable person. With Junior Sister Lin around, resources practically jump into his arms, as if they were found by chance.

He vowed that from now on, he would never be surprised by anything he saw again!

However, when they arrived at the location of the Yinling Spring that Lin Yitang had mentioned, Li Wuwang couldn't help but be startled again and gasped.

The Yinling Spring is located underground!

They entered through what appeared to be an ordinary little hole, winding their way through narrow passages until they finally arrived at a vast underground cavern. No wonder people couldn't find the Yin Spirit Spring before; it was hidden so deep!

To provide light, Lin Yitang took out the luminous pearl she had obtained at the apprentice-acceptance ceremony. Of course, she didn't tell Li Wuwang that she only knew the general location and had found her way here based on the fluctuations of spiritual energy.

At the same time, she also referred to the description in the original text in her memory to determine and explore the specific location of Yinling Spring.

Lin Yitang looked around and saw that the stone walls inside the cave were smooth and faintly filled with spiritual energy.

Under the light of the luminous pearl, a spring appeared before them. The spring water was as black as ink, emanating a faint chill, but it contained an exceptionally rich spiritual energy.

Li Wuwang's gaze was fixed on that body of water, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

He strode forward, excitedly shouting, "The Yin Spirit Spring! It really is the Yin Spirit Spring!"

His hand had already reached out involuntarily, as if he wanted to touch the legendary spring immediately.

However, just as he was about to touch the water, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm, bringing him to an abrupt halt.

Lin Yitang looked at Li Wuwang with a solemn expression and said urgently, "Senior brother, wait! That's not the Yin Spirit Spring, but the Yin River!"

Li Wuwang was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Yitang, his eyes full of confusion: "Yin River? What do you mean? This is clearly the Yin Spirit Spring!"

Lin Yitang then began to explain to him.

Because this place is deep underground and contains the Yin Spirit Spring, the climate is exceptionally cold. This environment attracts many souls of cultivators after their deaths. Under special conditions, combined with corresponding soul-cultivating techniques, they can transform into ghost cultivators.

Ghost cultivators are a special kind of being. They are few in number because there are very few cultivation methods for cultivating the soul. Moreover, because they are afraid of sunlight, they usually live in dark places and rarely appear in front of the world.

Although it takes ghost cultivation techniques to transform into a ghost cultivator, due to the special nature of this place, if the souls that die in the secret realm do not completely dissipate and are nourished by the Yin Spirit Spring, they can easily transform into ghost cultivators.

No cultivation techniques or experience are needed. With the talent and luck of one's soul, plus the accumulated supply of spiritual energy, even an ordinary soul can be transformed into a ghost cultivator.

Therefore, a large number of ghost cultivators gathered around Yinling Spring.

The existence of these ghost cultivators is due, on the one hand, to the fact that this place is indeed suitable for their survival; on the other hand, it is also a law in the cultivation world—where there is opportunity, there is bound to be danger.

These ghost cultivators are like guardians of the Yin Spirit Spring; only by defeating them can one truly obtain the Yin Spirit Spring.

In the original story, Ye Qiuli also encountered obstacles from these ghost cultivators when she was searching for the Yin Spirit Spring. She went to great lengths before finally obtaining the Yin Spirit Spring.

Li Wuwang frowned, scratching his head in frustration: "So, if we want to get the Yin Spirit Spring, we have to defeat these ghost cultivators first?"

Lin Yitang sighed: "Yes, senior brother. These ghost cultivators can't get out of here, and their numbers have been increasing year by year. They may already be quite powerful. It probably won't be easy for us to obtain this opportunity."

After hearing this, Li Wuwang nodded frantically to confirm it was true, and then anxiously asked Lin Yitang, "What do we do now? These ghost cultivators sound quite troublesome."

Lin Yitang looked at him questioningly and said, "Isn't this up to you?"

Li Wuwang was taken aback: "Huh? Me?"

Lin Yitang nodded as a matter of course and said confidently, "Yes, wasn't our previous deal that you would protect me until I obtained the Spirit Spring? Now these ghost cultivators are the problem you need to deal with. Don't worry, with your strength, I believe you can definitely solve it."

Li Wuwang: ?
