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

"Sword repairer!?"

Lin Yitang opened her mouth, never expecting that her master, the strongest cultivator on Thousand Peaks, would say such a thing.

They actually made her learn swordsmanship instead of law!

Xuan Hui nodded and said, "In fact, sword cultivators and saber cultivators are not separate. Swords, spears, halberds, and sabers are all essentially weapons, just used in different ways."

"Compared to other weapons, sword cultivation is more similar to blade cultivation. Those who cultivate this aspect focus more on 'qi' rather than 'method,' so you can't just cultivate spiritual power, but should cultivate in the unique way that sword and blade cultivation should be."

Lin Yitang listened attentively and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Xuan Hui said, "From what I know, sword cultivators and saber cultivators all start by cultivating spiritual power. However, from the Foundation Establishment stage onwards, they must cultivate something called 'intention,' which is commonly known as 'sword intent' or 'saber intent.'"

“I’m not very familiar with this specialty, but if you’re interested, you can go to One Sword Peak and audit their open classes. Now that you’re an inner disciple, you can go to any peak at will. If needed, I can also help you find a senior to mentor you.”

Lin Yitang was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Master! I will definitely follow your instructions and cultivate diligently."

Xuan Hui nodded in satisfaction, indicating that he would stay in the Peak Master's Hall for the time being, and that he could be contacted immediately if anything happened.

He said, "Your senior sister Ling Nianyan has gone out and may not be back for several weeks. During this time, you will be the only direct disciple of Qiandao Peak. Therefore, if a direct disciple is to be called to resist the beast tide, it will be up to you and Li Wuwang to do it."

Lin Yitang responded and, under Xuan Hui's guidance, checked on the cultivation for a period of time before descending the mountain.

Lin Yitang was thrilled to learn what she was going to do next. According to her master, she was going to start focusing on practicing "sword intent". She was really looking forward to it.

As for magic, she also needs to continue to comprehend the Great Lightning Strike Technique.

However, before heading to Yijian Peak to audit classes, she had one more thing to do.

Back in her cave, Jiang Qiushuang's soul within the Soul-Nourishing Wood had already recovered and broken through to the next level.

Under the nourishment of the Soul-Nourishing Wood, Jiang Qiushuang's soul gradually became more solid, emanating a powerful and profound aura compared to before she entered the wood. The chilling aura emanating from her body became even stronger, as if it could freeze the surrounding air, and her entire being exuded an aura that made people afraid to look directly at her.

Lin Yitang could sense the changes in Jiang Qiushuang; she knew this was the state after a breakthrough in ghost cultivation. Jiang Qiushuang's strength was originally at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, but now it had greatly improved, probably reaching the peak of the early Golden Core realm or even the middle stage, though her exact cultivation level was unknown.

Sensing the removal of the Soul-Nourishing Wood, Jiang Qiushuang slowly opened her eyes, a deep light gleaming within them. She looked at Lin Yitang, a smile appearing on her lips: "Junior Sister Lin, thank you for your help during this time. I have recovered."

Lin Yitang quickly waved her hand: "Sister Jiang, you're too kind. We're all friends, it's only right."

Jiang Qiushuang nodded, stood up, and the black mist around her gradually dissipated. Her figure became increasingly solid, as if she had truly become a living person.

"I can feel that my strength has reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm." Jiang Qiushuang reached out to sense the spiritual energy around her. "Thanks to your Soul-Nourishing Wood, I was able to break through my cultivation level."

Lin Yitang smiled and said, "Sister Jiang is naturally very talented, this is what you deserve. With a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator by my side, I will feel much more at ease in the future."

After checking her cultivation level, Jiang Qiushuang's eyes suddenly narrowed, and her aura became chilling and sinister. She asked, "By the way, how is that bitch Ye Qiuli now? She killed me and destroyed everything I had. She's the one person I can't forgive! As a ghost cultivator, my only obsession is to take revenge and make her taste all the pain I've suffered!"

Jiang Qiushuang's voice was hoarse and low, each word squeezed out from the depths of her throat, her body trembling slightly, suppressing endless anger and hatred.

Seeing Jiang Qiushuang's appearance, Lin Yitang couldn't help but sigh.

She slowly said, "I heard that during the time I was away, Ye Qiuli finally broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

There was no way they didn't know. They didn't even need to contact Li Lingxuan; the entire way they came, people had been discussing this topic, saying that Ye Qiuli, the junior sister of Danfu Peak and the most outstanding genius of the inner sect's Qi Refining stage, had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even though Lin Yitang prevented her from breaking through to the next level, Ye Qiuli still managed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in one year and three months after reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining. This was still an unbelievable speed in the Taique Sect and even in the entire cultivation world.

This incident attracted the attention of the entire Taique Sect. In addition, Ye Qiuli's senior and junior brothers spread the word wildly, and the limelight had completely overshadowed Lin Yitang, who had not shown her face in the sect for a month.

Lin Yitang continued, "Ye Qiuli's breakthrough seems to have gained some attention in the cultivation world. However, we don't need to be discouraged. Now that you have increased your strength, we will always have a chance to deal with her."

Jiang Qiushuang took a deep breath, forcibly calming her emotions. She looked at Lin Yitang, her eyes revealing a hint of gloom: "It's alright. Ye Qiuli has only gained temporary momentum after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Her methods are not applicable in the cultivation world. Actually, I have another way to deal with her, without even needing you to step in."

She slowly said, "Ye Qiuli is popular within the sect because her greatest skill is using male cultivators she has bewitched to eliminate female cultivators who might overshadow her. So, she actually has something to hold over her, namely the female cultivators she has harmed!"

Lin Yitang was stunned; she hadn't expected Jiang Qiushuang to have come up with this idea.

Jiang Qiushuang continued, "Actually, according to the information I knew before I died, several talented female disciples of Danfu Peak also met with misfortune after Ye Qiuli joined the sect. I knew all those female cultivators, and some were even geniuses with whom I had a good relationship."

“Some of them were framed by Ye Qiuli, their reputations were ruined, they were ashamed to face their sect and were expelled from the sect; some were secretly poisoned by her, their cultivation stagnated and they were eventually expelled from the sect; and some were even assassinated by her hired killers and lost their lives! I saw and heard all of these things with my own eyes and ears!”

As she spoke, Jiang Qiushuang's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with anger.

"Therefore, we can start with them and find incriminating evidence against Ye Qiuli!" Jiang Qiushuang's expression was gloomy. "We need to find those female cultivators who were expelled from the sect as witnesses, collect evidence, and one day expose Ye Qiuli's true colors so that the entire cultivation world will know her true face!"
