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

Shi Muyue explained apologetically, "I broke through just a few days ago. Actually, I had broken through to the tenth level of Qi Refining for a long time, but I couldn't establish my foundation. I was quite anxious about it for a while. Fortunately, the Endless Forest is full of monsters, which is a paradise for us beast tamers."

"There are many monsters here. We can not only practice beast-taming spells at any time, but also observe the habits and taming skills of monsters up close. Breakthroughs will naturally come naturally."

Lin Yitang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "No wonder Junior Sister was able to break through so quickly, this environment is indeed exceptionally favorable. Congratulations! Your two foxes must be even stronger now."

After all, the two parties to a contract influence each other; if one becomes stronger, the other will also benefit. When Orange broke through to the fourth tier, she received a boost, and Shi Muyue must have too.

When talking about her spirit beasts, Shi Muyue's face lit up with a smile: "That's right. After being tempered by the beast tide, the fox demons have also successfully advanced to the third rank. Although they have only just entered the third rank, it is already a qualitative leap for them."

At this point, Shi Muyue's tone suddenly lowered, and she sighed, "Unfortunately, no matter how hard they try, they can't compare to Senior Brother's White Ze Deer. Senior Brother's spirit beast has the bloodline of a divine beast, and it may awaken at any time as long as the opportunity arises. My fox is just an ordinary demon fox with limited potential, and it is ultimately difficult to reach its level."

Seeing this, Lin Yitang felt some sympathy.

She sighed as well, unsure how to comfort him.

After all, Senior Brother Wei was exceptionally talented and was directly accepted into the inner sect upon entering the sect, where he received the best treatment.

When Shi Mu entered the sect, his talent was insufficient to enter the inner sect. He only entered the inner sect through his own hard work. The resources of the two sides were different from the beginning, so they really cannot be compared.

Just as Lin Yitang was lost in thought, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the plot about Ye Qiuli in the original work.

In the original story, Ye Qiuli accidentally obtained several powerful spirit beast eggs during the outbreak of the beast tide, didn't she?

Although the specific type of demonic beast that hatched was never revealed, it was certain that these spirit beast eggs were extraordinary. Later, Ye Qiuli realized that these eggs were useless to her, so she auctioned them off at a high price, obtaining a considerable amount of spirit stones.

But what if Shi Muyue obtains these spirit beast eggs?

Lin Yitang's mind raced, and she immediately had an idea about these spirit beast eggs.

In any case, she would definitely not let Ye Qiuli get her hands on the opportunity. And since she already had Orange as her spirit beast, she had no desire for any more spirit beasts.

Rather than letting Ye Qiuli auction off these eggs, it would be better to keep them for myself first and then give them to the Beast Taming Peak, which would also be a way of repaying the favor I did for Ju Zi in the previous contract.

After all, he had previously taken away the cub of the guardian beast raised by the Beast Taming Peak through a contract. Although True Monarch Zilan had a good relationship with his master and did not pursue the matter, he still owed her a debt of gratitude.

With this in mind, Lin Yitang made a decision.

She composed herself and said to Shi Muyue, "Junior sister, don't be discouraged. Although your fox is not as good as Senior Brother Wei's white deer now, who can say for sure what the future holds? Maybe one day you will encounter a spirit beast with extraordinary potential."

Shi Muyue was encouraged by Lin Yitang's words and regained some hope.

She nodded emphatically and said, "Senior sister is right! I can't keep wallowing in self-pity like this. I need to work hard to cultivate the art of beast taming and constantly improve myself. Maybe one day I will meet a spirit beast that I like and be able to form a contract with it."

"After all, geniuses always attract each other, and similarly, there is a resonance between geniuses and powerful demonic beasts. The more outstanding I am, the more likely I am to attract outstanding spirit beasts."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Everyone was genuinely happy to see Shi Muyue cheer up again.

Shi Muyue seemed to still feel unsatisfied. She puffed out her chest, a proud expression on her face: "Besides, I'm already a Foundation Establishment cultivator! Among the new disciples of our Taique Sect, besides Ye Qiuli and Mo Ziheng, I'm the third to break through to Foundation Establishment. Based on that alone, my talent ranks among the top three!"

As he spoke, he looked smug, his nostrils practically pointing to the sky.

Qin Chong and Zhao Qian, who were standing to the side, were filled with envy and jealousy, their expressions twisted with mixed feelings of pain and discomfort.

Zhao Qian added sourly, "I really envy those of you who don't follow the sword cultivation path. You break through realms so quickly. Unlike me, I've always been the one with the lowest cultivation level among us, and I'm still at the bottom."

Lin Yitang laughed when she heard that.

That's true. Among these six people, only Qin Chong and Zhao Qian haven't reached the tenth level of Qi Refining yet.

Lin Yitang and Shi Muyue have already established their foundations, while Min Jingyuan and Xu Xiping have reached the tenth level of Qi Refining. The remaining two sword cultivators, Qin Chong and Zhao Qian, are at the eighth and seventh levels of Qi Refining respectively, and the gap between them and the others is widening.

Seeing this, Min Jingyuan couldn't help but comfort her, saying, "There's nothing we can do. Every cultivation path has its own characteristics. Sword cultivators are the strongest among those of the same level, but they also face the greatest difficulty in breaking through to higher realms. It's understandable that you can't keep up with the breakthrough speed of other cultivators."

“Strength and speed are often mutually exclusive, unless you are a prodigy like Lin Yitang, who cultivates quickly and is the strongest among those of the same level in the Taique Sect. It is really too difficult for us to catch up.”

Qin Chong sighed and agreed, "That's right. I really don't know how Fellow Daoist Lin cultivated. When we first met, her cultivation was much lower than mine, but now she has far surpassed me by several levels."

He paused, then turned to Lin Yitang and asked, "By the way, when do you plan to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Mentioning this, Xu Xiping also realized what was going on and said, "That's right, I remember that Senior Sister Lin was originally in charge of support missions in the outer areas, while the middle area requires at least the Foundation Establishment stage or above. How did Senior Sister Lin get into the middle area? Could it be that you have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Upon hearing this, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone then realized that they seemed to have overlooked a major problem.

Shi Muyue also gasped, and said tremblingly, "To be honest, I couldn't sense Lin Yitang's cultivation level from the moment I saw her. It's understandable that my junior brothers and sisters at the tenth level of Qi Refining couldn't sense it, but even I, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, couldn't sense her cultivation level. If she wasn't carrying a magic treasure to conceal her cultivation level, then there's only one possibility—her cultivation level is higher than mine."

At this point, Shi Muyue's voice trembled slightly, "So Lin Yitang, what exactly... what level of cultivation do you have?"
