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

Ye Qiuli initially seemed to be in a good mood, but her face immediately fell when she saw Lin Yitang.

A slight smile played on her lips, but her eyes were full of mockery as she said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, isn't this Junior Sister Lin Yitang? What brings you to our Danfu Peak? Are you here to find a pill that can help you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

As Ye Qiuli spoke, she looked Lin Yitang up and down with disdain, as if she were watching a joke.

She continued sarcastically, "Junior Sister Lin, you've been stuck at the tenth level of Qi Refining for so long and haven't even broken through to Foundation Establishment yet. You still have the nerve to come to our Pill Talisman Peak for help? Too bad, our Pill Talisman Peak doesn't welcome people like you, and we certainly won't help you. So, Senior Sister, you'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible."

However, Lin Yitang remained unfazed by Ye Qiuli's sarcastic remarks. She sneered and replied, "Senior Sister Ye, you're still so free. What business is it of yours whether I break through or not?"

"As for you, you haven't even cultivated a sword seed yet, so how dare you point fingers at me like this? Go back and cultivate instead. You can't even condense a sword seed, what a disgrace."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiuli's face immediately darkened.

After returning from the Sword Peak Academy, she tried for several hours in a row, but still couldn't condense a sword seed. At times like this, she was most averse to anyone mentioning that she hadn't yet condensed a sword seed.

Especially after being exposed to her face by that bitch Lin Yitang, how could she not lose face!

"you!"

She pointed angrily at Lin Yitang, but was speechless for a moment, unable to find the right words to retort.

Gritting his teeth, he suddenly remembered something, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes: "Lin Yitang, don't be too smug! My senior brother has already qualified for the elite disciple competition. Once he becomes an elite disciple, even Xuan Hui won't be able to protect you!"

"Then let's see how arrogant you are!"

After saying that, Ye Qiuli left without looking back.

Lin Yitang was left alone, resting her chin on her hand in deep thought.

She frowned, sensitive to the term "elite disciple" in Ye Qiuli's words, and her expression immediately became serious.

The term "elite disciples" appeared in the original text, representing the core group of geniuses of a sect.

Their status is far higher than that of inner disciples and personal disciples. They are the backbone of a sect, with only twenty or thirty people in each sect, and at most fifty.

These elite disciples are the cream of the crop, selected from the most outstanding Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stage disciples within the sect. Their tasks are also completely different from those of ordinary disciples.

They are required to represent their sect in important events such as inter-sect exchanges, disciple competitions, sect competitions, and disciple exchanges. Sometimes they may even participate in matters concerning the survival of their sect, such as competing for spiritual veins. In this era where Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation cultivators cannot act arbitrarily, the role of elite disciples is particularly important.

At critical moments, the importance of elite disciples even surpasses that of some elders, because they represent the face of the sect's younger generation and cannot be allowed to be lost.

No wonder Ye Qiuli was so arrogant as to tell Lin Yitang that even Master Xuanhui couldn't protect her. After all, Lin Yitang was just an ordinary disciple at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and compared to the elite disciples of the Taique Sect, she was indeed insignificant.

The resources and status possessed by elite disciples are unattainable for ordinary disciples. Of course, the requirements are also extremely high, and it is generally difficult to become one of them without reaching the Golden Core stage.

Even a genius like Li Wuwang failed to achieve this because he had not broken through to the Golden Core stage and was not powerful enough.

However, Zhao Qianyue, whom they killed together, was very likely an elite disciple of the Tianxuan Sect. No wonder the Tianxuan Sect was so furious and even issued a bounty.

Lin Yitang pondered to herself that relying solely on Xuan Hui wouldn't be enough to establish herself in the sect. She needed to become a prominent figure and stand out in the cultivation world to achieve her goals.

The path of cultivation is now clear, but the Great Thunder Strike Technique and sword intent have not yet been mastered. Merely possessing great strength is probably not enough to cope with the methods of the cultivation world.

She's on her way to the Array Weapon Peak, and she has a lot of things related to array weapons in her pocket, so she might as well go and ask her.

Arriving at the Array Weapon Peak, the familiar scenery before her stirred a sense of nostalgia within her. A few days ago, she had come here to forge her natal magic weapon, and now, only a few days later, she was back again. However, this time was different; she wasn't here to forge a magic weapon, but to find Senior Brother Liu and Min Jingyuan.

She walked to the foot of the mountain and, as always, asked the disciple in charge for their lodgings. However, before she could finish speaking, she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Junior Sister Lin, is that you?" The voice was gentle and kind, with a hint of surprise.

Lin Yitang turned around and saw Senior Brother Liu smiling gently and waving at her. Behind him was Min Jingyuan, who was quiet, somewhat shy and timid.

"Senior Brother Liu! Junior Sister Min!"

Lin Yitang's eyes lit up instantly. She quickly walked up to the two of them, a smile on her face. "I didn't expect to run into you by chance. I was just about to look for you."

Senior Brother Liu smiled slightly and asked gently, "Junior Sister Yitang, what brings you here?"

Lin Yitang took out several boxes from his storage bag and explained as he opened them, "I've acquired some ores by chance these past few days and I'd like to sell them to the Array Weapon Peak. These are Spirit Gathering Stones, Earth Spirit Crystals, and Water Spirit Pearls—all good materials."

Senior Brother Liu examined the ore in the box carefully, and his eyes immediately lit up.

He exclaimed, "These are all wonderful things! They are extremely useful! They are all materials for making array plates. Moreover, they are extremely rare and precious. Where did you get such good things, Junior Sister? I have only ever seen them in Master's possession!"

He looked at Lin Yitang, his tone filled with anticipation: "If Junior Sister Lin intends to sell, why not sell it to the Array Weapon Peak? Keep the Spirit Gathering Stones; they're very beneficial for setting up Spirit Gathering Arrays, as they're essential for the array's foundation! As for the Earth Spirit Crystal and Water Spirit Pearl, I'll offer five thousand spirit stones to buy them. What do you think?"

Although Lin Yitang didn't understand terms like "array base," she could see Senior Brother Liu's sincerity and the value of the ore.

She readily nodded and said, "Deal! With Senior Brother Liu being so agreeable, what else could I possibly worry about?"

The deal was done, but Lin Yitang couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her: "But I don't even know how to set up a spirit-gathering array, so what use are these spirit-gathering stones to me?"

Senior Brother Liu smiled slightly upon hearing this and patted Lin Yitang on the shoulder: "Junior Sister, there's no need to rush. The art of setting up formations is very simple, and you can learn it slowly. With this Spirit Gathering Stone, once you've learned how to set up formations, you'll be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Min Jingyuan also whispered from the side, "Senior Sister Lin, the Spirit Gathering Array is still very useful. It's simple and easy to learn. In fact, Master also recommends that non-array cultivators learn the Spirit Gathering Array, so there's no need to worry that you can't learn it just because you're not an array cultivator."

"I usually don't tell this to others, but I'm telling you because you're my senior brother's friend. If you want to learn how to set up a spirit-gathering array, you can ask my senior brother and me for help."
