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

The Hall of Affairs is located on a mountain peak not far from Danfu Peak. The heavy wooden door is carved with intricate patterns of cranes and auspicious clouds, and the plaque in the center is inscribed with the three large characters "Hall of Affairs" in a vigorous and elegant style, making it appear grand and magnificent.

As soon as Lin Yitang entered the hall, a disciple from the Hall of Affairs immediately stood up, his face beaming with smiles: "Oh my, isn't this Senior Sister Lin from Danfu Peak? What brings you here?"

As the personal disciple of the Danfu Peak Master, Lin Yitang was well-known, and the disciples of the Hall of Affairs naturally recognized her. Moreover, due to the Grand Elder, no one dared to neglect her.

Lin Yitang smiled slightly and said calmly, "I'm here to reissue my identity token, as the previous one was accidentally damaged. I'm also here to collect the resources for outer disciples."

The disciple from the Hall of Affairs was taken aback, his smile faltering slightly: "Senior Sister is joking. You are the personal disciple of the Grand Elder of Danfu Peak, why would you need to receive resources from the outer sect?"

Just then, a disciple leaned close to his ear and whispered an explanation, saying that Senior Sister Lin had been expelled from the inner sect by the Grand Elder and was no longer a member of Danfu Peak.

The disciple from the Deacon Hall's expression changed, and his previously ingratiating smile vanished instantly.

He snorted coldly, looking Lin Yitang up and down, his tone full of disdain: "I wondered what the reason was, so it turns out you were expelled from the inner sect. A piece of trash expelled from the inner sect, does he even deserve to receive resources? What bad luck."

Then he casually grabbed a storage bag and threw it at Lin Yitang's feet like trash.

Lin Yitang felt a bitter smile creep down her spine. So this was what it felt like to fall from the inner sect to the outer sect. It was normal; everyone feared those with powerful connections. She had neither connections nor strength, so she could only be bullied.

She silently picked up the storage bag and chose the cave dwelling where she lived outside the gate.

After choosing her cave dwelling, Lin Yitang headed straight there. The cave dwelling she selected was located in a secluded part of the sect, quiet and remote, not easily disturbed, just right for her to cultivate in peace.

The outer sect's cave dwelling was indeed as simple and unadorned as rumored, a world apart from the inner sect's. There were no decorations, no spiritual plants, and even the most basic spiritual energy was rather thin.

Lin Yitang looked around. In the grooves of the stone wall, a few small luminous pearls emitted a faint light, barely illuminating the small stone chamber. A stone bed, a wooden table, and a few chairs were all the belongings the room contained.

She took a deep breath, sensed it, and tried to circulate her spiritual energy within her body.

The spiritual energy in the outer sect was indeed vastly different from that in the inner sect. The inner sect's cave dwellings were mostly located around spiritual veins, abundant with spiritual energy, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort, as if equipped with a powerful accelerator. In contrast, the spiritual energy in the outer sect was only sufficient for the cultivation needs of ordinary Qi Refining stage disciples; further breakthroughs became extremely difficult.

After giving the cave a quick cleaning, Lin Yitang began to take stock of the original owner's resources and the resources of the outer disciples.

Although the original owner's resources weren't abundant, they were still quite complete. There were several hundred low-grade spirit stones, a dozen bottles of common pills, an ordinary spirit sword, and a stack of low-level talismans. These were all common items carried by ordinary cultivators; while not particularly valuable, they could come in handy at crucial moments.

However, these resources are pitifully meager for direct disciples.

Lin Yitang knew perfectly well that these were just the savings the original owner had made through frugality; most of the resources had long been intercepted by the Grand Elder and given to Ye Qiuli.

Looking at the resources of the outer disciples, Lin Yitang couldn't help but gasp. Ten low-grade spirit stones, two bottles of pills, and one low-level talisman—that was all the resources an outer disciple would have for half a year.

Not only are the types rare, but their quality is also pitifully low. In comparison, the resources that the original owner saved were much more abundant.

Lin Yitang gave a bitter smile, never expecting that life as an outer disciple would be so difficult. No wonder everyone said she was finished; with such resources, let alone breaking through, she could barely sustain even basic cultivation.

She poured two more bottles of pills into her palm, her brows furrowing slightly.

The original owner's pills came in bottles of ten, all of medium grade, including healing pills, cultivation pills, and even a bottle of high-grade pills. However, outer sect disciples received bottles of five pills each, and only the lowest grade, low-level Qi-nourishing pills.

However, she didn't care. She had her own space and didn't care about these resources. All she needed was cultivation.

There are ten levels in the Qi Refining stage. Ye Qiuli is almost at the Foundation Establishment stage, while she is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, which is still far from enough.

Thinking of this, Lin Yitang took out a spiritual flower from her spiritual flower space, sat cross-legged on the futon, and began to cultivate.

She gently placed the spiritual flower in her mouth, and the petals bloomed on her tongue, transforming into a pure spiritual energy that flowed through her body along her meridians.

She sat cross-legged, her palms facing upwards, and spiritual energy surged and circulated within her body. The Hunyuan Gongfa quietly activated, and the spiritual energy of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—blended together, forming a powerful force that impacted her dantian.

Lin Yitang's spiritual root is the Primordial Spiritual Root.

A Primordial Spiritual Root is a spiritual root where all five elements are at their maximum level. It is extremely rare, occurring only once every ten thousand years, and is even more precious than a single spiritual root. Those who possess this spiritual root cultivate at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, with the five elements forming a closed loop that is perpetually generating new life.

In comparison, although Ye Qiuli's Ice Spirit Root is a different kind of spirit root, it is still slightly inferior to the Primordial Spirit Root.

Lin Yitang focused intently, sensing the changes within her body. Spiritual energy surged into her dantian like a tide, cleansing every cell. With each complete cycle of circulation, she could feel the spiritual energy within her body becoming more surging and solidified.

One can't help but marvel at the original owner's exceptional talent. With five max-level spiritual roots, almost all the spiritual energy absorbed into the body was converted into real cultivation.

If the original owner had no psychological barriers, reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining in nine years would not have been difficult.

However, this is just the cultivation progress of an ordinary person. Compared to the female protagonist Ye Qiuli, such progress is not impressive.

Ye Qiuli is a formidable individual who reached the tenth level of Qi Refining in just five years. Such speed is unprecedented in the cultivation world.

Lin Yitang recalled the plot of the book; Ye Qiuli's cultivation path was remarkably smooth. Opportunities, magical treasures, and inheritances came one after another. Each moment of enlightenment allowed her cultivation to advance several levels. Moreover, with the added advantage of the female protagonist's halo, rare and precious materials and ancient secret realms were readily available to her.

In comparison, my situation is much more difficult. I have no background, no ability, and I can't seize opportunities even when they come my way.

She understood that her being disliked, looked down upon, and expelled from the inner sect wasn't entirely Ye Qiuli's fault. The root cause was simply that she was too weak.

The weak are bullied, and weakness is the root of all targeting. Only strength is the key to survival and self-preservation.

She wants to become stronger, she wants to rejoin the inner sect! Since her master doesn't want her, she'll find a new backer, and to find a new backer, she must join the inner sect.

She did not decide to stay in the outer sect for the rest of her life. She wanted to prove that she was not a good-for-nothing, but a genius who was even more talented than Ye Qiuli.

She wants to return to her peak and reclaim the title of Taique's number one genius from Ye Qiuli!

So what if she's a supporting female character? From the moment she transmigrated, she was the female lead!
