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

Lin Yitang turned around and saw that it was Ye Qiuli!

She cursed inwardly, but smiled slightly on the surface: "Senior Sister Ye, what a coincidence. What business is it of yours if I come to buy something?"

Ye Qiuli sneered, her tone clearly mocking: "I was just asking casually, why is Junior Sister so sensitive? But judging from your appearance, you seem to be a little short of money. If you need it, I can lend you some spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang was immediately displeased. Although she was short of money, she absolutely did not need Ye Qiuli's charity.

She snorted coldly: "Senior Sister Ye, you should mind your own business. My affairs are none of your concern."

Ye Qiuli seemed to have anticipated Lin Yitang's response. She shrugged, her expression nonchalant: "Whatever. But I heard you're going on a mission with Song Hang and the others? I advise you to be careful. That tiger demon is not to be trifled with. Don't drag others down with you."

Lin Yitang frowned, surprised that Ye Qiuli even knew this. It seemed that word had already spread that she and Song Hang had been on a mission together.

Perhaps Ye Qiuli and the others have already written the rumors, just waiting to come and mock me after the mission fails. If the five of them fail this time, they might blame me.

Sure enough, the next second, Ye Qiuli continued, "Speaking of which, Junior Sister Lin has the lowest cultivation level among the five of us for this mission. If the mission isn't completed, could it be that..."

Ye Qiuli gave Lin Yitang a provocative look, the meaning in her eyes was clear.

Lin Yitang chose to ignore it.

Not only that, Ye Qiuli also took out a newly acquired bottle of pills and deliberately waved it in front of Lin Yitang, saying, "Also, Junior Sister Lin, look, do you know what this is? This is a Foundation Establishment Pill, something that an outer disciple like you can never obtain in your entire life. This is the advantage of having spirit stones and a powerful backer. Unlike some people, who hesitate for a long time before buying even a piece of spirit beast meat."

Lin Yitang was itching to punch him, but she was trying hard to suppress the urge when a hurried male voice suddenly rang out from behind her: "Senior Sister, Senior Sister! Senior Sister Ye!"

The two turned around at the same time, only to find that the person who came was Song Hang. Song Hang ran over from the street in the distance, panting, his eyes full of admiration as he stared at them, as if he had seen Ye Qiuli.

Ye Qiuli frowned upon seeing Song Hang's expression. She didn't want to face this brainless fan alone, so she snorted coldly, "Lin Yitang, we'll see. Don't think you can turn things around just because you've leveled up two ranks. Our business isn't over yet."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Song Hang finally made it over, but when he saw that Ye Qiuli was nowhere to be seen, he froze on the spot, his face full of confusion: "Huh? I clearly saw Senior Sister Ye here just now, where did she go?"

Then, he saw Lin Yitang standing to the side, and his tone immediately turned fierce: "Lin Yitang, what are you doing here? Senior Sister Ye was just here, you must have chased her away!"

Lin Yitang looked at Song Hang speechlessly, wondering if this guy was crazy. She couldn't be bothered to talk to such an idiot, so she rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

She walked quickly for a while, making sure Song Hang could no longer see her, before stopping, taking the spirit chicken off her head, and staring at it. The spirit chicken also raised its head, looking back at her with its shiny black eyes.

Lin Yitang sighed and whispered to the spirit chicken, "You dragged me to the butcher shop just now because you wanted to eat meat, right? But we're going to the forest soon, and there's plenty of spirit beast meat. As long as you don't eat it this time, I'll get you whatever you want! Now we need to browse the stalls first, and I'll try to buy you everything I can."

The rooster seemed to understand her words, nodded, then tugged at Lin Yitang's sleeve and flew towards another shop. Lin Yitang had no choice but to follow.

This time, Lingji led her to a stall selling ores. The stall was filled with all sorts of stones, which looked quite ordinary. But Lingji stared intently at one inconspicuous stone.

Lin Yitang followed the spirit chicken's gaze and saw a dull gray stone, its surface covered with cracks, and it was quite unremarkable.

She looked at the spirit chicken with suspicion: "Are you sure you want this?"

The rooster nodded, then jumped onto the rock and gently scratched it with its claws. Seeing this, Lin Yitang hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and picked up the rock.

The moment she touched the stone, a faint suction force came from it, as if something was calling to her. She was startled and tried to sense it carefully, but found that the suction force was faint and elusive.

At this moment, the stall owner noticed Lin Yitang and greeted her warmly, "Miss, do you need any minerals?"

Lin Yitang quickly put the stone back, pretending to casually look around, and asked about the prices of a few ores. Then, seemingly unintentionally, she pointed to the stones the spirit chicken wanted and asked, "What are those?"

The stall owner glanced at them and casually replied, "Those are probably rough black iron stones with a lot of impurities. They're not worth much. If you want them, take them for ten low-grade spirit stones."

Lin Yitang secretly noted it down, then pretended to pick through some stones and asked for a few pieces of ore worth a total of fifty low-grade spirit stones. Finally, she casually pointed to the pile of stones and said, "Then I'll take these too."

The stall owner beamed with joy when he saw that Lin Yitang had bought so many stones. He quickly wrapped them up and handed them to Lin Yitang, saying, "You're so generous, young lady! Consider these a gift from me."

Lin Yitang paid with spirit stones, took the pile of stones, and was secretly delighted. She glanced at the spirit rooster and saw it flapping its wings excitedly.

After leaving the stall, Lin Yitang found a quiet spot and took out the dusty stone. She circulated her spiritual energy, trying to sense the faint suction force.

However, to her surprise, no matter how she tried, the suction force disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Lin Yitang was somewhat disappointed, but she still put the stone away. She thought that perhaps the stone really was just ordinary black iron, but since the spirit chicken was so interested in it, there must be a reason.

So she put the stone into her storage bag, intending to study it later when she had the chance. Then she took out several other pieces of ore and examined them carefully.

Although these ores were of low grade, they were plentiful and relatively cheap. Lin Yitang thought that perhaps she could use them to refine some low-level magic weapons in the future.

Just then, a message came through the communication jade slip, a message from Fan Niannian urging: "Junior Sister Lin, it's time! Everyone is waiting for you. Hurry up and come to the market entrance!"

Lin Yitang quickly put away the ore and replied, "Senior Sister Nian Nian, I'm coming right now." Then she said "Let's go" to the spirit chicken and walked quickly towards the market entrance.

The rooster seemed reluctant to stop eating, but it obediently flew back to Lin Yitang's head. Every now and then, it would glance at the storage pouch at Lin Yitang's waist and let out a few soft cries, reminding Lin Yitang not to forget its food.
