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

Upon hearing that Lin Yitang also had a grudge against Ye Qiuli, Jiang Qiushuang immediately became agitated. She gripped Lin Yitang's hand tightly, her voice rising, "Junior Sister Lin, since we both have a grudge against Ye Qiuli, why don't we join forces and deal with her together!"

Jiang Qiushuang's tone carried a hint of urgency: "As the former senior sister of Danfu Peak, I know a lot of secrets and connections within the sect. These will be of great help in dealing with Ye Qiuli."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang's heart stirred.

As the senior disciple of Danfu Peak, Jiang Qiushuang indeed knows many things that ordinary people don't. This is undoubtedly a great help to her.

Without hesitation, she nodded in agreement: "Okay, Senior Sister Jiang. Let's join forces!"

Li Wuwang, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

He didn't quite understand the others, but he listened to what Lin Yitang said.

He was shocked to learn that so much had happened during his absence from the sect. As a Foundation Establishment genius of the Taique Sect, he hadn't returned to the sect for several years and hadn't paid attention to sect news. It turned out that Lin Yitang was originally a disciple of True Monarch Yuheng, but was later expelled from the inner sect by Yuheng before joining Thousand Paths Peak.

Upon entering Thousand Peaks, he became a disciple personally taught by True Monarch Xuanhui, and shone brightly.

He was instantly enraged and said indignantly, "Yuheng is a real scoundrel! How can he treat the geniuses of our sect like this? Not only Senior Sister Jiang, but even Junior Sister has been persecuted by him. He doesn't investigate when things happen, but directly protects the culprit. He's shameless!"

The image of Lin Yitang alone on Danfu Peak, helpless and bullied, immediately flashed into his mind.

Li Wuwang, filled with righteous indignation, patted his chest and said to Lin Yitang, "Junior Sister, if you ever need any help after you join the sect, just ask. I, Li Wuwang, will definitely be there to support you immediately!"

Lin Yitang felt a surge of emotion.

She took out two communication jade slips from her storage ring and handed them to Jiang Qiushuang and Li Wuwang: "These are my communication jade slips. You can contact each other anytime if anything happens."

Jiang Qiushuang and Li Wuwang accepted the jade slip and nodded solemnly. Then, the three of them began to hurry outside.

Before leaving, Jiang Qiushuang unceremoniously devoured a large number of ghost cultivators, including those in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages.

She absorbed the ghostly energy that she couldn't digest immediately, intending to use it later. These ghost cultivators, having lost the Yin Spirit Spring, could no longer cultivate or reincarnate, which benefited Jiang Qiushuang, who could only let her devour them.

After absorbing a large number of ghost cultivators, Jiang Qiushuang's aura became even stronger, and her cultivation level also improved significantly.

She told Lin Yitang that it might take two or three days to digest the ghostly energy, during which time she wouldn't be able to leave the Soul-Nourishing Wood. Therefore, if anything happened, she would have to rely on Li Wuwang's protection.

Lin Yitang had no objection to this. Senior Sister Jiang had no cooperative relationship with her and had no obligation to protect her. It was she and Li Wuwang who needed to divide the Yin Spirit Spring, which was why they cooperated and teamed up.

After saying that, Jiang Qiushuang entered the Soul Nourishing Wood. All the ghost cultivator's aura and spiritual pressure disappeared without a trace, all of which were contained within the Soul Nourishing Wood, and could not be sensed by the outside world.

Lin Yitang and Li Wuwang looked up and saw that the once gloomy and terrifying underground cave had now returned to normal, becoming completely empty. A deathly stillness permeated the surroundings, making it feel exceptionally desolate and deserted.

Without the Yin Spirit Spring and the underground cave where the ghost cultivators resided, it was as if a soulless shell had been emptied, becoming desolate and chilling. The original atmosphere, shrouded in black mist and filled with ghostly energy, vanished without a trace, replaced by utter silence.

The crystals on the cave walls emitted a faint glow, barely illuminating the interior. Scattered on the ground were broken bones and magical artifacts, and a faint smell of blood and decay filled the air, a testament to the fierce battle that had taken place.

The cave walls, once corroded by ghostly energy, have lost their menacing blackness, revealing their original rock textures. Though rough, they possess a unique natural beauty. The air, no longer filled with suffocating ghostly energy, is now fresh and slightly cool.

However, Lin Yitang also knew that this situation could only last for a while.

This place is inherently a gathering place of yin and spirit; as long as it exists, spiritual energy will continuously flow into it. Where there is spiritual energy, it will attract ghost cultivators. Thousands of years later, the Yin Spirit Spring will reappear here, and groups of ghost cultivators will once again guard it.

But that's a long time from now. At least for now, there are no threats or benefits here.

Right now, she had no time to think about those things. She and Li Wuwang had more important things to do—leave this place of trouble, return to their sect, and prepare for their next cultivation session.

Feeling the long-lost spiritual energy in the air, she turned around and followed Li Wuwang's footsteps.

The two left the eerie underground cave. Approximately a day had passed since they entered the Yin Spirit Spring. They had two days to spare before returning to the entrance of the secret realm. During this time, they could even use the extra time and energy to scavenge some valuable treasures.

Lin Yitang silently communicated with the orange in her mind, instructing it to sense where treasures might be found. The small spiritual flowers and herbs by the roadside no longer caught her eye; she wanted to find truly valuable items to replenish her spiritual flower space!

With a powerful late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator protecting her, Lin Yitang became much bolder.

She walked through the secret realm, her back ramrod straight, her demeanor even more arrogant and domineering. Wherever there were good things, there she was. When they encountered enemies, she would command Li Wuwang to take action.

After all, Foundation Establishment cultivators under the age of thirty are rare, and most of them have only recently entered the Foundation Establishment stage, with their strength generally at the early to mid-stages. Therefore, Li Wuwang is practically invincible in the secret realm.

Unless you encounter a top genius from one of the three major sects.

However, only three geniuses from the three major sects—Li Wuwang, Lu Jingyun, and Zhao Qianyue—entered the secret realm. Even if the other sects had one or two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, their strength was relatively weak, and they were no match for Li Wuwang. In a single exchange, they were utterly routed by his water-based magic.

And so, Lin Yitang and Li Wuwang traveled along, stopping frequently, and reaped many benefits. Lin Yitang also generously split the profits 50/50 with Li Wuwang.

These past two days have been unimaginable for Li Wuwang.

He followed behind Lin Yitang as if he had stumbled into paradise.

Under Lin Yitang's guidance, treasures appeared wherever he went. This was a strange skill of his junior sister that he had learned about during his search for the Yin Spirit Spring, but seeing it again still felt like a dream, unforgettable and surreal.

Freed from the constraints of a mission, the two searched freely for valuable items. They easily encountered spiritual plants that were hundreds or even thousands of years old, and even when faced with powerful guardian beasts, they were able to overcome them through their combined efforts.

They even found a small spirit stone mine, and after working together to defeat the fourth-tier peak guardian beast, there were thousands upon thousands of spirit stones inside!
