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

Fan Niannian asked Lin Yitang to wait downstairs for a while, and soon returned with a copy of a jade slip.

"Here, this is a useful advanced technique I recommend, called Earth Escape Technique. It's very useful for escaping, you can give it a try."

Lin Yitang took the rubbing of the jade slip and said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Sister. I will definitely return it to you in two months."

Fan Niannian waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's okay. If you really can't learn it, you can come to Lingcao Peak to find me. My earth escape technique is amazing."

Lin Yitang joked, "Isn't it just that you're best at running away?"

Then, puzzled, he asked, "Speaking of which, aren't you a water and wood elemental root? How come you can learn advanced earth-attribute cultivation techniques?"

Fan Niannian explained, "The art of escape is related to all five elements. If you know earth escape, you can use fire escape. I learned it using water escape. If you have mastered all five elements, you can learn anything. If you can fly in the future, you can even use air escape."

Lin Yitang nodded. She knew that people with water and wood spiritual roots could also use other spiritual elements such as fire, metal, and earth, but they would need to convert them.

The conversion takes time, and spiritual energy other than one's own spiritual root attribute is generally not used in emergency situations, such as battles.

For example, Ye Qiuli can only use ice-attribute spells and circulate ice spiritual energy during combat. Although she can also use the five elements spells, she needs a certain amount of time to switch between them, otherwise it won't work.

Lin Yitang, being a mixed-elemental spiritual root, possesses the unique advantage of perfect five elements, allowing her to freely use any type of spiritual energy without any obstacles.

However, if you want to use spiritual energy of the ice, lightning, and wind attributes, you need to convert it.

After obtaining the cultivation technique, Lin Yitang planned to start taking on missions.

Eight months have passed since she transmigrated, and apart from the time she fought Chen Qi, she has no real combat experience, which is illogical. She needs to improve her strength as soon as possible to avoid being suppressed by Ye Qiuli in the future.

Upon arriving at the mission hall, she discovered that the mission at One Sword Peak hadn't been claimed yet, but the price had suddenly increased to 120 points. She had a premonition it would rise further, so she practiced her earth-遁术 (earth-遁术, a technique that allows one to escape through the earth) for a few more days, while constantly keeping an eye on the missions.

Sure enough, the reward for the mission increased day by day, from 120 to 160, and then to 180. By this time, Lin Yitang was already eager to claim it. She noticed that some outer disciples were also looking restless, seemingly tempted, as if they wanted to snatch it away.

Finally, the reward exceeded 200, reaching 220. The moment the task was relisted, Lin Yitang snatched it. Several other people also wanted to try, but none were as fast as Lin Yitang, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

They dispersed regretfully, muttering, "I didn't even get a good look before it was stolen..."

"As expected, there are always a lot of people vying for the good tasks. I'll try again next time."

After securing the mission, Lin Yitang couldn't wait to head to One Sword Peak. She took out the paper crane that Fan Niannian had given her, silently recited the incantation, and the paper crane instantly grew to be more than a person's height.

She carefully stepped onto the paper crane, feeling a gentle force lifting her up. She tried to control the paper crane with her mind, and it actually obeyed her commands, slowly rising into the air.

Lin Yitang was incredibly excited as she used the flying magic weapon for the first time. A gentle breeze brushed against her cheek, bringing a slight coolness.

Looking down, she could see the entire Taique Sect spread out before her.

Within the sect, towering peaks rise one after another, shrouded in mist and clouds. Disciples from each peak either meditate and practice their skills in the plaza or discuss Daoist arts in small groups. From time to time, disciples ride magical artifacts, traversing through the air, their forms shimmering with spiritual light, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Lin Yitang also saw some disciples arguing incessantly in front of the training hall, vying for the best spots to practice. In front of the library, a group of disciples were lining up, waiting to enter the pavilion to borrow cultivation techniques.

On the distant Danfu Peak, the alchemical fire blazed fiercely, and the explosions of the alchemy furnaces were incessant. Outside a house billowing black smoke, several disciples covered in soot ran out of the alchemy room, cursing each other for their mistakes.

As Lin Yitang flew along, she admired the scenery of the Taique Sect. She never expected the cultivation world to be so beautiful, much more magnificent and spectacular than described in books.

And taking your first flight is such an amazing experience!

Of course, she was able to see these beautiful views thanks to Fan Niannian. If Fan Niannian hadn't given her a paper crane, she might not have been able to enjoy such a pleasant experience.

Moreover, the paper crane is quite fast; it should reach One Sword Peak in less than a quarter of an hour. If she were walking on her own, it would probably take her an hour. That's because she's a high-level Qi Refining cultivator. If she were an ordinary early-stage Qi Refining disciple from the outer sect, it would probably take her half a day or even several days.

It seems she needs to find a way to repay Fan Niannian; she can't keep receiving gifts from her forever.

However, Fan Niannian is the senior disciple of Lingcao Peak, a direct disciple of the peak master, and is still in the Foundation Establishment stage, so repaying her kindness will not be easy.

The paper crane carried Lin Yitang, and in no time they arrived above One Sword Peak. Lin Yitang felt a sharp aura rushing towards her, as if thousands of sword energies were surging in the air, inspiring awe.

Looking out, she saw that Sword Peak was steep and rugged, with jagged rocks that resembled giant swords pointing straight to the sky. The peaks soared into the clouds, with cliffs and precipices everywhere, giving off an imposing sense of insurmountable power. The forests were lush and verdant, yet they lacked any gentleness, instead exuding a sharpness and resilience. Even the wildflowers and grasses bloomed freely and unrestrainedly.

The disciples of One Sword Peak stood tall and straight, exuding a sharp and imposing aura in their every movement. Most of them wore long, flowing blue robes, with silver-white sword patterns embroidered on the sleeves, symbolizing their status.

A disciple was practicing swordsmanship on the edge of a cliff. The sword light flashed and the sword energy crisscrossed, causing the clouds and mist in the mountains to churn. His movements were as swift as the wind, and every sword strike contained boundless killing intent.

Disciples gathered together to practice swordsmanship. Every move was sharp and exquisite. Sometimes they attacked each other, and sometimes they dismantled each other's moves. The scene was extremely intense.

Another disciple was meditating alone on a rock in the mountains, surrounded by a faint sword aura, clearly practicing the sword cultivation method.

Lin Yitang was astonished and secretly admired it. As expected of the gathering place of Tai Que Sect sword cultivators, everything at Yijian Peak looked like a sword, even the people.

The thought that everyone here could potentially become her future opponent sent chills down Lin Yitang's spine. Sword cultivators are generally considered the strongest among their peers, and this is indeed true; no sword cultivator is easy to deal with.

Sword cultivators are a unique existence in the cultivation world. They take the sword as their path, prove their path with the sword, and pursue the ultimate in swordsmanship. Among those of the same level, sword cultivators are often the strongest, inspiring fear in all who hear of them.

To become a sword cultivator, one must cultivate not only the body but also the mind. Sword cultivators must practice specific mental techniques to strengthen their resolve and enhance their sword intent. They are upright and straightforward, never allowing even the slightest evil thought to fester in their hearts, because on the path of sword cultivation, even a trace of malice can become an obstacle to breakthrough. Therefore, those with evil in their hearts cannot become sword cultivators, and among sword cultivators, there are very few with impure intentions.

Most sword cultivators are martial arts fanatics or sword fanatics. They want to fight anyone they see, so most people are not willing to get close to them.

However, the path of sword cultivators is fraught with hardship and danger. They must constantly challenge stronger opponents to break through their own limits. Every battle is a tremendous test of their physical and mental well-being. A slight misstep could lead to their demise.

Even so, countless cultivators still embark on the path of sword cultivation one after another.
