She couldn't help but ask the disciple registering, "Why aren't there any advanced spells on the first floor?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple looked at Lin Yitang with a puzzled expression, saying, "Advanced spells? What do you need those for? Aren't low-level techniques enough for you? If you really want to challenge yourself, you can try mid-level ones at most."

Lin Yitang frowned and said, "But low-level and mid-level techniques are too easy for me."

Upon hearing this, the disciple was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, his laughter full of sarcasm: "Simple? Are you kidding me? You, an outer disciple, want to cultivate advanced spells? You're really overestimating yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang's expression darkened slightly, and she said coldly, "How do you know it won't work if you don't try?"

The disciple laughed even more exaggeratedly, pointing at Lin Yitang and saying, "Don't get your hopes up! How could you possibly dabble in high-level spells? I advise you to stick to practicing low-level techniques, or you'll end up with nothing!"

Hearing this conversation, the outer disciples around them gathered around and started mocking Lin Yitang.

"How incredibly arrogant! How could we outer disciples possibly cultivate such advanced spells?"

"That's right! Even for those with exceptional talent, it takes several years to master advanced spells. Those of us with average talent might never even get close to the basics in our entire lives."

"Moreover, cultivating advanced spells requires a lot of time and resources. How could we outer disciples have such resources? Just take time for example, cultivating advanced spells takes too much time and significantly encroaches on cultivation. So generally, only geniuses who are not worried about improving their cultivation attempt it, because they have a lot of free time and it does not affect their cultivation."

"Besides, as an outer disciple who may never break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in his entire life, are you sure you want to take this risk? If you try and still haven't broken through by the time you're over fifty, that would be too embarrassing."

There's precedent for this. There was an inner disciple with three spiritual roots who, overconfident in his talent, cultivated an advanced technique. He only managed to grasp the basics after ten years, and it took him twenty years to gain any real recognition, completely missing the golden period for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage! He died without ever achieving that breakthrough!

"In my opinion, you should stick to practicing low-level techniques. Otherwise, you might end up with a qi deviation instead of improving your cultivation!"

Amidst the rising and falling jeers, Lin Yitang's expression grew increasingly puzzled.

She retorted, unconvinced, "But I'm telling the truth. It only took me two months to master an advanced cultivation technique."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples laughed even harder.

"You're just bragging! Advanced cultivation techniques aren't that easy to master."

"Is he just trying to act tough by practicing some lousy, third-rate technique?"

"Even with a mid-level cultivation technique, it might take two months to achieve even a small degree of success, right? And a high-level cultivation technique? That's laughable!"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Lin Yitang calmly took out a spirit rice seed and placed it in her palm.

She circulated the wood elemental energy within her body and activated the growth-inducing technique. Instantly, the seed glowed green and began to sprout and grow at a visible speed.

In just a short while, a mature spirit rice plant appeared before everyone's eyes, with lush branches and leaves and heavy ears of grain.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them. They had never seen such a miraculous spell that could make plants mature instantly.

In the crowd, a knowledgeable outer disciple suddenly exclaimed, "This... isn't this a high-level wood-type spell—the Life-Inducing Spell?"

These words caused an uproar among the crowd. The disciple quickly explained, "The Growth-Accelerating Spell is a high-level wood-elemental spell that can make plants mature instantly. This spell is not only very beneficial when planting spiritual plants, but it can also assist in casting spells in battle, and its power is astonishing."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Yitang with admiration. They hadn't expected that this seemingly ordinary outer disciple had already mastered such profound magic.

Moreover, Lin Yitang looked to be only a teenager, yet she had already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. Her talent was so high that everyone believed her even more. After everyone dispersed, the disciple in charge of registration blushed and said, "However, advanced cultivation techniques are usually only available on the second floor, and outer disciples are not authorized to borrow them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang's smile instantly froze. She glanced at the library hall with disappointment, then walked out without a word.

Standing outside the library, after a moment's thought, he took out his communication jade and contacted Fan Niannian.

Soon, Fan Niannian's voice came from the jade slip: "Junior Sister Lin, is there something you need?"

Lin Yitang briefly explained her thoughts, then said, "Senior Sister Fan, I really want to learn an advanced spell. I wonder if you could help me borrow one as an inner disciple?"

Fan Niannian pondered for a moment, then said with some concern, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. The sect has a rule that inner sect techniques cannot be passed on to outsiders. If it is discovered, it may violate the sect rules."

Lin Yitang quickly replied, "Senior Sister, don't worry. The sect only stipulates that it cannot be passed on to outsiders, but I am not an outsider. I am a disciple of the Taique Sect and I am not violating the rules. Moreover, what I am seeking is not the unique techniques of those powerful masters, but the high-level spells available in the library. There shouldn't be any major problems."

Fan Niannian hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Alright, since you're so persistent, I'll help you this time."

In less than fifteen minutes, Lin Yitang saw Fan Niannian flying over on a paper crane. Seeing Lin Yitang's envious look, Fan Niannian said with a grin, "Do you like it? I'll give you one later."

Then, she asked in confusion, "Since you're so eager to cultivate advanced magic, have you learned the birth-inducing spell that Master gave you before?"

Lin Yitang nodded and demonstrated the fertilization technique on the spot. The seed in her hand sprouted, blossomed, and bore fruit instantly, a truly astonishing sight.

Fan Niannian stared in disbelief, her expression one of utter disbelief, stammering, "My God, my God, I've only just begun to grasp the basics of that spell, and you're already so proficient?"

Lin Yitang smiled and said modestly, "Senior sister, you flatter me. I'm just lucky to be suited for this spell."

Fan Niannian shook her head, looking admiringly at her, and said, "Junior sister, you are truly a hidden talent! This fertility-inducing technique is very useful in actual combat. By the way, I also obtained a good spell from my master. It is a healing spell that can quickly restore injuries and play an important role in critical moments."

"That's amazing! It can revive instantly!" Lin Yitang said enviously.

Fan Niannian smiled and said, "Yes, now I can protect you. If there are any team missions to go out in the future, I'll invite you."
