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

As she spoke, she raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice: "Senior brother, please don't be angry with me. I was just too concerned about my cultivation progress. Seeing Lin Yitang condense the sword seed so quickly, I was a little anxious, so..."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible, but her tearful appearance would make anyone feel sorry for her.

Seeing her like this, the disciples in the classroom softened a bit. After all, they were fellow disciples, and it wasn't good to be too harsh on her.

He sighed, his tone softening slightly: "Junior Sister Ye, I understand how you feel. But fighting is forbidden within the sect. If you accidentally hurt someone, you'll only end up hurting yourself. Just be more careful next time."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiuli nodded repeatedly, her expression becoming even more pitiful: "Senior brother is right, I will definitely correct myself in the future. Please don't take this matter to heart."

After saying that, she turned to Lin Yitang and forced a timid posture: "Junior Sister Lin Yitang, I didn't mean it just now, you won't blame me, will you?"

Lin Yitang was speechless. Although Ye Qiuli was just putting on an act, she had at least done her job. She could only say, "Senior Sister, why bother? We're fellow disciples, so I naturally won't take it to heart this time."

The implication is that while they might not take it to heart this time, they might not next time.

Ye Qiuli understood the meaning behind Lin Yitang's words, her face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly regained her pitiful appearance.

She bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind: "Junior sister, I was wrong before, and I apologize to you. If you are still angry, I am willing to make it up to you."

As she spoke, she took out a bottle of pills from her storage bag, and while feeling a pang of regret, she presented it to Lin Yitang with both hands: "These are my treasured Marrow Cleansing Pills, which are very helpful in improving cultivation speed. If you accept them, Junior Sister, consider it my apology."

The disciples around were all surprised to see this.

While the Marrow Cleansing Technique isn't exactly a rare treasure, it's still quite valuable among inner disciples. The fact that Ye Qiuli was willing to use it as an apology surprised many.

Lin Yitang sighed and had no choice but to accept the Marrow Cleansing Pill, saying, "I appreciate Senior Sister's kindness, and I will accept this pill. I believe that Senior Sister's pill will definitely work."

Ye Qiuli was taken aback when Lin Yitang accepted, and her mind went blank for a moment.

Generally speaking, people wouldn't dare accept anything from the enemy, especially something that involves ingestion, for fear of poisoning or being plotted against. Yet Lin Yitang accepted it just like that, without any fear of someone adding some kind of spirit-dispersing powder to make her lose all her cultivation!

She had precisely calculated that Lin Yitang wouldn't accept it, which was why she sent it out, but she never expected that Lin Yitang would accept it! She was furious; this was a Marrow Cleansing Pill, and she didn't even have many of them, and now she had given away one!

Ye Qiuli cursed inwardly, but continued to act nonchalantly on the surface: "Junior Sister Lin is indeed unpretentious, unlike me who is so petty that I can only give her some Marrow Cleansing Pills and the like."

Lin Yitang waved her hand: "It's nothing. Senior Sister Ye has been very generous. I will remember you for the rest of my life."

After speaking, he bowed to the disciple who was teaching the class: "Thank you for upholding justice today, senior brother. It's getting late, let's go back so as not to delay your important business."

The disciple in charge of the class nodded, glanced at Lin Yitang, and seemed to want to say something but hesitated. In the end, he only said, "Junior Sister Lin, you are exceptionally talented, and your future is limitless. Work hard and don't waste your talent."

Lin Yitang nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your guidance, senior brother. I will definitely work harder in my cultivation in the future."

Watching her students and Ye Qiuli leave, Lin Yitang was filled with mixed emotions. Although it was a close call, she had ultimately won a round against Ye Qiuli. This was indeed good news for her.

However, Ye Qiuli will surely condense a sword seed soon after returning, so she cannot relax.

Upon returning to her cave, Lin Yitang couldn't wait to begin studying her sword. The sword was entirely bluish-white, emitting a faint, cold light. Its surface was covered with fine patterns, appearing simple and unadorned, yet giving off an indescribable sense of weight and solidity.

She tried channeling spiritual energy into the blade, but found it merely absorbed it silently without any special reaction. She then tried to activate the blade, attempting to make it exhibit some kind of offensive capability, but to no avail.

Gradually, Lin Yitang realized what was going on. This so-called blade design was actually just an ordinary blade blank.

It doesn't possess any powerful energy or special offensive capabilities. However, it's quite suitable to be placed in the dantian and slowly nurtured with the flow of spiritual energy.

With that thought in mind, Lin Yitang decided to stop worrying and placed the sword seed into her dantian, allowing it to slowly grow under the nourishment of spiritual energy. After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief and began to analyze her gains from this Heavenly Spirit Secret Realm.

She sorted out the spiritual herbs, ores, pills, and other items she had obtained from the secret realm, estimating their value.

First, there were the spiritual herbs. Lin Yitang had reaped a rich harvest in this area, possessing dozens of different kinds. Among them, the most precious were those spiritual herbs that reached the high grade.

For example, the Crimson Spirit Grass is fiery red and exudes a scorching aura, which can greatly enhance the purity and power of fire-attribute spiritual energy. In addition, there are three high-grade Ice Heart Grasses, which can be used to refine pills and increase cultivation speed; two high-grade Purple Thunder Flowers, which can release lightning and temper the physical body; and a dozen high-grade Spirit Returning Leaves, which can restore spiritual power and heal injuries.

There are countless other low- to mid-grade spiritual herbs, and their exact value depends on how many can be sold.

Secondly, there were ores. Lin Yitang obtained a spirit-gathering stone of considerable quality, which could be used to set up a spirit-gathering array; three earth spirit crystals, which were excellent materials for refining earth-attribute magic weapons; and five water spirit orbs, which could be used to refine magic weapons that could locate and contain water sources.

In addition, there are some common pills such as Peiyuan Pill, which can be kept for future cultivation needs.

Since many of the cultivators in the secret realm are Foundation Establishment cultivators, the resources obtained after killing and plundering are mainly for Foundation Establishment cultivation. There are dozens of Spirit Gathering Pills, enough to last until the late Foundation Establishment stage.

No wonder killing and robbing is the most profitable way to acquire resources. Killing those few rogue cultivators didn't yield anything good, but the genius disciples of the major sects have the most valuable items.

This time, the resources I received for killing people together with Tianyin Sect and Li Wuwang were equivalent to those of ten inner disciples!

As Lin Yitang sorted through the items, she silently estimated their value. High-grade spiritual herbs were quite rare on the market, worth at least a thousand spirit stones; top-quality mid-grade spiritual herbs were worth several hundred spirit stones each; low-grade herbs weren't particularly valuable, but their abundance meant their total value was still around a thousand spirit stones.

In terms of ores, Spirit Gathering Stones and Earth Spirit Crystals are both scarce resources, each worth more than a thousand spirit stones; Water Spirit Pearls are slightly inferior, but five of them together are worth a thousand spirit stones.

As for elixirs, the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Spirit Gathering Pill are essential for breaking through realms, and everyone desires them. Although the Qi Cultivation Pill is relatively common, three of them together are worth nearly a thousand spirit stones.

A rough estimate suggests that Lin Yitang's gains from this trip to the secret realm are worth over tens of thousands!

This is undoubtedly a huge fortune for a cultivator who has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
