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

Lin Yitang was taken aback for a moment, "I know, what's wrong?"

This was not only taught in the inner sect classes, but also mentioned in the original text.

This is a rather special category of things. Although it is called a demon spirit fruit, it is not an ordinary spirit fruit. Rather, it is a spirit fruit that has cultivated into a spirit, similar to the spirit of plants and trees.

Why say "similar" instead of "exactly"?

Because it is not the spirit of a certain type of spiritual fruit, but only a spiritual creature that has been nurtured by the demonic energy of a great demon for many years has become a spirit.

This kind of spiritual fruit, nurtured by demonic energy, is called the Demon Spirit Fruit. It is somewhere between a demon and a plant spirit, so its classification is inaccurate. It is said to be very beneficial to demonic beasts.

Unfortunately, the Demon Spirit Fruit is not a plant spirit that cannot move. It can escape everywhere at great speed, making it very difficult to catch. Its market value is astronomical.

Especially for cultivators who practice beast taming, as soon as it appears, everyone will fight tooth and nail to get their hands on it.

But why did Ye Qiuli suddenly bring this up?

Lin Yitang frowned. In the original text, Ye Qiuli didn't seem to have obtained this item during the beast tide, nor did she encounter anything like it in the Endless Forest.

Even if it exists, it shouldn't be here.

Because of the beast tide, although this place is full of third and fourth-tier demonic beasts, it is actually only the edge of the Endless Forest under normal circumstances. Even the inner perimeter, which is now guarded by Nascent Soul cultivators, is usually just the outer edge of the Endless Forest.

These places are not far from where Fan Niannian, Lin Yitang and others killed the tiger demon, which shows how great the impact of the beast tide on the division of the Endless Forest is.

How could there possibly be any demon spirit fruit in a place like this?

However, Ye Qiuli didn't care what Lin Yitang thought. Seeing Lin Yitang's silence, a triumphant glint flashed in Ye Qiuli's eyes.

Hesitation is a good thing; it means Lin Yitang is considering whether or not to cooperate. She thought she would be rejected outright.

She slowly walked up to Lin Yitang, a smile curving her lips, her voice unusually gentle, "Senior Sister Lin, we come from the same peak, and were both direct disciples of Yuheng before, why be so tense?"

"How about we temporarily set aside our past grievances, join hands, and go to the inner perimeter to search for the Demon Spirit Fruit?"

She spoke sincerely, "I have received definite information that the Demon Spirit Fruit grows in a hidden place in the inner perimeter. After we find it, how about we split it equally? Then, we can both share a large sum of spirit stones. Why not?"

Lin Yitang turned her head slightly, avoiding Ye Qiuli's gaze, and gave her a cold glance.

However, Ye Qiuli seemed completely oblivious to Lin Yitang's aloofness, and instead pressed herself even closer to him.

"Think about it, we are sisters from the same sect, why should we hurt our harmony over some misunderstandings? I have already forgiven you for what happened on Danfu Peak, why can't you forgive me this once, senior sister? Let's put all our conflicts aside for now."

Ye Qiuli's tone became increasingly sincere, as if she were truly lowering herself to ask for cooperation, "Believe me, the Demon Spirit Fruit did indeed appear in this area. I myself am going to enter the inner circle. I would never risk my life to deceive you."

Lin Yitang continued to frown and asked, "Since you want the Demon Spirit Fruit so badly, why did you come to me? Don't you have many fellow disciples? You could have just asked any cultivator from Danfu Peak. Why did you insist on having me help you?"

Ye Qiuli's eyes lit up, seeing that there was hope, and she quickly explained, "Senior Sister Lin has probably forgotten that the Demon Spirit Fruit is extremely rare and difficult to catch, but it has one characteristic: it is close to geniuses. Among the disciples of this generation, apart from Mo Ziheng, you and I are the most talented, so naturally I came to find you."

Lin Yitang understood; there was indeed a saying that the Demon Spirit Fruit favored geniuses, and Ye Qiuli's excuse was quite good.

However, she had read the original text and knew very well that there were no demon spirit fruits nearby, and Ye Qiuli had not received any information about demon spirit fruits in the original text. In other words, everything Ye Qiuli was telling her now was a lie!

The news about obtaining the Demon Spirit Fruit was just an excuse to lure Lin Yitang to the inner perimeter.

Realizing this, Lin Yitang asked again, "Then why doesn't Junior Sister Ye ask your two senior brothers? Both of your senior brothers from Danfu Peak are geniuses, both young and promising. One is at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage and is about to break through to the Golden Core stage, while the other has already broken through to the Golden Core stage and has even become an elite disciple."

"Logically speaking, you should be looking for two more familiar senior brothers, not me, your fellow disciple with whom you've had so many 'misunderstandings' and even a bad relationship."

Ye Qiuli quickly explained, "Of course I also want to find my two senior brothers, but both of them are in the inner circle, busy driving away the demonic beasts, and they don't have the time or energy to help me right now."

"So, that's why I came to find my senior sister from the same sect. Besides my two senior brothers, you are my only senior sister and the closest person to me. Who else would I look for if not you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang understood completely.

Oh, so the senior brother is in the inner circle. That means Ye Qiuli's original plan was to lure Lin Yitang into the inner circle and then immediately join forces with the two senior brothers to kill her.

That's a clever plan. If Lin Yitang didn't know there were no demon spirit fruits nearby, she would probably fall into Ye Qiuli's trap.

Because everyone has greed, and the Demon Spirit Fruit is extremely expensive, and unlike other treasures it is not guarded by powerful demon beasts, it is difficult for ordinary people to resist this temptation.

Knowing all this, Lin Yitang decided to play along and agreed to Ye Qiuli's cooperation proposal.

She said, "Alright, let's go find the Demon Spirit Fruit together. Let's put aside our previous conflicts for now and work together for the next couple of days."

In truth, Lin Yitang was thinking that since Ye Qiuli was going to make a move, she was also prepared to do so. Although the inner area was somewhat dangerous, how could she miss such a good opportunity!

It's important to understand that it wasn't just Ye Qiuli who wanted to kill Lin Yitang; Lin Yitang also wanted Ye Qiuli to pay the price.

She hasn't avenged the one who cut off her path to immortality yet.

Ye Qiuli herself handed over the opportunity, how could Lin Yitang not follow the script?

A glint flashed in her eyes. When she was cultivating Qi before, she was not strong enough. Now that her cultivation was higher than Ye Qiuli's, she was going to suppress her severely!

Just like how Ye Qiuli suppressed the original owner back then.

"Now that Junior Sister Ye has obtained information about the Demon Spirit Fruit, I am naturally willing to lend you a hand."

Lin Yitang said calmly, "However, the inner area is extremely dangerous, so we should set off as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiuli's lips curled into a smug smile. She didn't notice the strange look in Lin Yitang's eyes, assuming that the other woman had been completely captivated by the allure of the Demon Spirit Fruit. "Senior Sister Lin is absolutely right. Let's set off now."

The two quickly packed their belongings, greeted the disciples in charge, and headed towards the inner perimeter.

Along the way, Ye Qiuli would occasionally test Lin Yitang with words to confirm whether she was really just going to find the Demon Spirit Fruit.

Lin Yitang, on the other hand, remained steadfast in her pursuit of the Demon Spirit Fruit, maintaining her focus on it and stating that even though she had a falling out with Junior Sister Ye, they should still cooperate well in the search for the Demon Spirit Fruit.

Her reluctant attitude actually reassured Ye Qiuli a lot.

After all, she didn't believe that Lin Yitang was genuinely cooperating. Lin Yitang's wary yet clueless demeanor was exactly the state Ye Qiuli wanted.

Soon, they entered the edge of the inner perimeter.
