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

Lin Yitang and the others hurriedly followed the direction the man pointed, and saw a female cultivator lying on the ground in the distance, wearing the robes of the Tianyan Sect, but not moving at all.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a corpse with several arrow wounds on its body, seemingly killed by the formation just now.

It seems that the two sects had already passed through this place and encountered this arrow formation, but they did not destroy the formation and instead found a way to get out.

Yes, generally speaking, in order to get out of a formation, besides breaking the formation's core, finding the correct direction and using the correct footwork to get out of the formation is the most common method.

Unfortunately, Lin Yitang lacked expertise in formations and couldn't figure out this footwork by understanding the characteristics of formations. The rogue cultivators present also lacked such expertise; once they entered the formation, they had no choice but to destroy the formation's core.

This made Lin Yitang frown slightly. Is this really a good idea?

It should be noted that the formations here are all lost formations from the cultivation world, and they have extremely high research value. If the formation experts from the three major sects were to study them together, they might be able to deduce them.

Is she really going to destroy these ancient formations just to find her senior brother? It feels like such a waste.

However, she quickly made up her mind.

Although these formations are highly valuable, no less than ancient cultivation techniques, she can't use them. Since they can't be used by her, leaving them here is like leaving a hidden bomb, ready to explode at any moment, so it's better to dismantle them.

The formation was irrelevant to her, but rescuing her senior brother was something she had to do; she could distinguish between what was important and what was not.

Moreover, the formations used in the cultivation world today are not necessarily inferior to those of ancient times.

Ancient formations are rare, but their strength may not be comparable to the formations that have been improved countless times since then.

After all, not all ancient artifacts are good.

Therefore, after dividing the corpse, the group continued forward. They entered one formation and then destroyed it. With Lin Yitang's command, they destroyed formations quickly, searching for the center of each formation to find a precise target.

This caused many Golden Core cultivators to secretly cast strange glances at her, unable to help but speculate about her identity.

This cultivator surnamed Wang... could he be a very powerful array cultivator?

Only someone with an extremely high level of mastery of array formations could find the array's core so quickly. Not to mention these are ancient, lost array formations; the methods for finding the core are naturally different from those used today. Yet this cultivator surnamed Wang was able to find the core so quickly—his level of array formation mastery is nothing short of monstrous!

Moreover, they had never heard of this person in the cultivation world, which shows that this person was extremely accomplished but kept a low profile.

This changed the way many independent cultivators looked at Lin Yitang.

This guy is definitely a master of array formations who is deliberately hiding his true abilities. He has been hiding his identity until now. He is really patient!

In the cultivation world, cultivators who are proficient in the four arts are very popular. Those who are highly skilled in alchemy, talisman, array, and weaponry can have a status comparable to those who have reached the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stages. Even if their own cultivation level is not high enough, no one dares to offend them. Instead, they are sought after by everyone and even asked for favors by people with higher cultivation levels.

Therefore, everyone aspires to become a master of the four arts: alchemy, talisman, weapon crafting, and array formation. Of course, those who master the four arts generally do not lack cultivation resources and spirit stones, but the process of cultivating the four arts itself requires a lot of time and resources, so these people often do not have high cultivation levels.

This cultivator surnamed Wang may have spent too much time cultivating the Four Arts, which is why he is now nearing the end of his lifespan.

Upon realizing this, the expressions of all the rogue cultivators at the Golden Core stage changed.

At this moment, no one regarded Lin Yitang as a junior Foundation Establishment cultivator anymore, but truly as their leader.

After all, if it really was a master of array formations here, they couldn't afford to offend him. Moreover, breaking the array would depend on this Wang-surnamed cultivator, so for their own safety, they had to rely on him.

Lin Yitang noticed this phenomenon and couldn't help but sigh. She realized that she seemed to have been misunderstood; in fact, she had no knowledge of array formations whatsoever.

Well, it's not a bad thing.

She had no choice but to subtly alter her aura, making her demeanor more profound and her presence more in line with the image of a reclusive master in the eyes of the independent cultivators.

Little did they know that this only strengthened everyone's belief that this person was a hidden powerhouse. After all, cultivation level could be faked, but temperament could not. Lin Yitang's aura of a genius powerhouse was absolutely genuine and not feigned.

It seems they need to curry favor with this fellow Daoist when they leave the Stone Forest.

As time passed, Lin Yitang and the others broke through four or five formations, including trapping formations, killing formations, illusion formations, sword formations, and so on, a wide variety of formations.

This time, Lin Yitang had witnessed all the array formations of the cultivation world, which broadened her horizons and gave her some understanding of how to break them. This included where the key points of different arrays were usually located, how to find them, and how to destroy them.

She also learned to be clever. Every time she entered the formation, she would secretly record the details of the formation, such as the location of the stone forest and the formation eye, the characteristics of the formation, changes, and so on.

Soon, they found the bodies of the second group of monks.

This group included members from both the Tianxuan Sect and the Tianyan Sect, all bearing injuries, suggesting that the two sects had fought here.

Lin Yitang carefully examined the bodies and found that the blood was still fresh, indicating that they had not been dead for long, probably only a quarter of an hour ago.

It seems they will soon catch up with the two sects ahead. Because destroying formations is much faster than analyzing them or using footwork, catching up with the two sects is inevitable.

The independent cultivators were also eager to make their move, wishing the two sects would fight to the death so they could reap the benefits.

After walking a while longer, Lin Yitang suddenly reached out and stopped everyone.

This time, she keenly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy ahead!

Two cultivators were standing in front of a rock, seemingly casting some kind of spell to fight off a trap. Judging from their robes, they must have gotten separated from their sect.

One of the male cultivators was the one of higher status. The other male cultivator, somewhat nervous, said to the first one, "Senior brother, it seems we really are lost. What should we do?"

The male cultivator of higher status had a gloomy face and angrily cursed at the other male cultivator: "What do you think I can do? It's all because you wandered around in the formation, causing us to be separated from the sect. Now look what's happened, the two of us are in danger, and we don't even know if we can get out of the stone forest!"

Lin Yitang instructed the scattered cultivators to hide behind the rocks to conceal their presence, and the cultivators complied.

One of the rogue cultivators quietly approached Lin Yitang and said, "Senior brother, I recognize that male cultivator, Lü Wanfang from the Tianxuan Sect! That male cultivator is no ordinary person; he has some strength and is one of the top inner disciples of the Tianxuan Sect! His cultivation is at the late Golden Core stage, and he seems to be ranked around ninety on the Human Ranking."

"Although he's ranked last, he's still on the Golden Core Ranking. Those who make it onto the Golden Core Ranking are no pushovers; they're top-tier Golden Core cultivators in the cultivation world. Senior Brother, don't easily get into a conflict with him. Even five late-stage Golden Core cultivators might not be able to defeat him. You must be careful!"
