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

Lin Yitang eagerly opened the communication jade slip and saw a message from Fan Niannian, her tone full of excitement: "Junior Sister Lin, I've finally found a mission we can go on together! Come quickly!"

Lin Yitang was overjoyed. The Taique Sect had strict discipline over its Qi Refining stage disciples. Except for doing missions and handling sect affairs, they were not allowed to go out. She finally had a chance to go out and see the world.

She rushed to the sect gate, where Fan Niannian was already waiting. Upon seeing Lin Yitang, Fan Niannian immediately went to greet her.

"Junior Sister Lin, you came so fast!" Fan Niannian said happily, holding Lin Yitang's hand. "This mission not only earns points, but also lets me see things I don't usually get to see. I really had to work hard to get this opportunity."

Lin Yitang smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister. I am already very satisfied to have the opportunity to leave the sect."

Fan Niannian looked at the skinny chicken on Lin Yitang's head and couldn't help but laugh, teasingly saying, "This chicken is quite a good match for you."

Lin Yitang's face darkened: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

She secretly complained to herself that she wouldn't have brought the chicken along if it hadn't been making a fuss about going out after the last training session.

After two months of feeding by Wu Dingtang, the chicken has become visibly plumper, transforming from a skinny, paper-thin chicken into a normal-sized chick, and its feathers have grown considerably.

Just last month, it was a tiny little thing, no bigger than a cub. Lin Yitang felt a slight pang of heartache at the thought, because this chicken was incredibly voracious, constantly clamoring for Five-Cauldron Begonias. She had painstakingly accumulated a whole garden of Five-Cauldron Begonias, and they had already been picked clean, leaving her with hardly enough for Foundation Establishment. Therefore, Fan Niannian's mission had come at just the right time.

The two waited at the agreed location for a long time, when they saw several more people coming down from the mountain. As soon as they saw Fan Niannian, they greeted her warmly.

Fan Niannian responded with a smile, and then introduced Lin Yitang: "Yitang, these are my friends who I invited to do the mission together. They come from different peaks."

She first introduced the man on the far left, dressed in a moon-white robe, and said with a smile, "This is Senior Brother Wei Yan, from Beast Taming Peak. His cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he is the best among the Beast Taming Peak cultivators."

Senior Brother Wei smiled slightly and nodded to Lin Yitang. He had a gentle and refined appearance, with a warm air about him. A snow-white spirit beast with wings perched on his shoulder looked very cute. Its big blue eyes looked at Lin Yitang, and its childish cries were so sweet they made one's heart melt.

Lin Yitang recognized him at a glance as the senior brother who had given her the spirit chicken during a mission at Beast Taming Peak. She never expected him to be Fan Niannian's friend.

Her eyes lit up and she smiled, "So it's the senior brother I met before. You took good care of me at Beast Taming Peak. I didn't expect to see you again."

Senior Brother Wei responded with a smile, "I didn't expect to see Junior Sister Lin again. So you still have that spirit chicken. I thought you ate it a long time ago."

Lin Yitang chuckled and said, "You'll develop feelings for it after raising it for a long time."

Senior Brother Wei nodded approvingly: "Junior Sister is kind-hearted and patient with spirit beasts. You have raised the spirit chicken very well, which is a rare quality on Beast Taming Peak. Many disciples treat spirit beasts roughly and do not know how to respect them. They only use them as tools. People like Junior Sister will definitely be liked by spirit beasts."

Lin Yitang thanked Senior Brother Wei, but sighed inwardly. She'd heard that Beast Taming Peak was still searching for the escaped little phoenix, and its whereabouts were still unknown. She wondered where the little fellow had gone; she hoped it hadn't run down the mountain and been captured by someone else.

Fan Niannian then introduced the second person: "This is Senior Brother Liu from the Array and Weapon Peak. He is skilled in setting up arrays and refining weapons, and his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining."

Senior Brother Liu nodded shyly to Lin Yitang, then lowered his head to fiddle with the array plate in his hands. He was dressed in a grayish-blue robe, had an ordinary appearance, and was not very noticeable; Lin Yitang almost didn't notice him.

Seeing this, Fan Niannian quickly explained, "Senior Brother Liu is a formation enthusiast and loves to study these things. Junior Sister, please don't mind."

Lin Yitang nodded, deeply admiring Senior Brother Liu's focus. Such people often achieve great things on the path of cultivation.

Just as Fan Niannian was about to introduce the third person, that person suddenly snorted, turned his back to Lin Yitang, and looked as if he didn't want to see her.

Fan Niannian was a little embarrassed, but she still continued to introduce, "Uh, this is Senior Brother Song from Danfu Peak. He is skilled in alchemy and talisman making, and his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining."

As she spoke, she leaned close to Lin Yitang's ear and whispered, "This senior brother is usually a bit arrogant. After all, he is an alchemist, and his status is very high wherever he is. Junior sister, please don't take it to heart."

Lin Yitang nodded, but sighed inwardly.

She appreciated Senior Sister Fan's kindness, but getting along well with Senior Brother Song seemed impossible. She had already recognized him as Song Hang, one of the biggest fans of Ye Qiuli, an inner disciple of Danfu Peak, who had never shown her any affection. Now, working on a mission together, friction was inevitable.

As expected, Song Hang's tone turned sarcastic as soon as he opened his mouth: "Junior Sister Lin, it's been a long time! Your deeds are known to everyone on Danfu Peak and are considered classics. You were expelled from the inner sect by your master for harming your fellow disciples, and after four years of cultivation you have made no progress. You are always bullying your fellow disciples and have wicked intentions. I really don't understand why Senior Sister Fan would ask you to do missions with us."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang's face immediately darkened. Just as she was about to lash out, Fan Niannian looked at Song Hang with a puzzled expression: "Senior Brother Song, was Junior Sister Lin once a direct disciple of Danfu Peak?"

Song Hang sneered, "Senior Sister Fan is usually only focused on cultivation and doesn't know much about the sect's gossip. This Lin Yitang, not only was she once a direct disciple, she also..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, listing all the accusations against Lin Yitang in the past, such as his lack of progress in cultivation, repeated violations of sect rules, falling out with fellow disciples, and bullying Ye Qiuli, etc. He told Fan Niannian all of this, making Lin Yitang's face turn black. She really wanted to go up and punch him twice in the face.

That Song Hang is really despicable. I don't know if he's genuinely stupid or just pretending, but he starts talking badly about people right in front of her, as if she doesn't exist.

However, Fan Niannian did not show any surprise on her face after hearing Song Hang's words.

She said solemnly, "Junior Brother Song, no matter where you heard these rumors from, I believe Junior Sister Lin would never do such a thing. I believe in the Junior Sister Lin I see with my own eyes, and I will not be deceived by these rumors."

Senior Brother Wei, standing to the side, nodded in agreement: "That's right, you can't judge a book by its cover. How can you easily judge a person's character without getting to know them well? Junior Sister Lin's character is judged fairly by others."

Lin Yitang felt a warmth in her heart from their words, and was deeply moved. Song Hang, however, had a livid face, snorted coldly, and turned away, muttering, "If you don't believe me, fine. Don't blame me if you get hurt by her later."

Fan Niannian then began to explain the mission she had been given.
