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

Lin Yitang was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "So it's Senior Brother Li from the Tianyan Sect. I've long admired your name. Since Senior Brother Li is willing to spar, I, Lin, will gladly oblige. However, the Four Arts Competition is about to begin, and we still need to maintain the competition, so I can only ask Senior Brother to wait a moment until the competition is over before we discuss this matter."

Li Hao raised an eyebrow, seemingly dissatisfied with Lin Yitang's reply. Just as he was about to lash out, he heard an elite disciple from his sect shout, "Li Hao, stop fooling around! If you want to fight, wait until after the Four Arts Competition. It's about to begin!"

"The elders are already here. Do you expect them to wait for you? Hurry up and go back to your seat. Don't get in the way!"

Although Li Hao was unwilling, he ultimately dared not disobey the orders of the elite disciples. He could only snort coldly, glare at Lin Yitang, and turn back to his seat in the Tianyan Sect.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yitang's expression changed slightly.

Liu Yihang, who was behind her, stepped forward and whispered, "Senior sister, I know this Li Hao. Although he is arrogant, he does have some real skills."

"He is one of the top geniuses in the inner sect of Tianyan Sect, with a late-stage Golden Core cultivation level, and is among the top experts on the Golden Core Ranking. I guess he is dissatisfied that you, as an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, are ranked ahead of him, so he wants to challenge you to enter the Earth Ranking."

Liu Yihang paused for a moment, then said, "Moreover, I also noticed that many of the inner disciples of the Tianyan Sect who are looking at you are people who are ranked on the Human Ranking. I guess they will all try to find a way to spar with you. Senior Sister, you must be careful."

Lin Yitang nodded, understanding dawning on her.

It turns out that these inner disciples of the Tianyan Sect are all geniuses on the Human Ranking, no wonder they are so hostile towards her.

After all, no late-stage Golden Core expert would willingly be overshadowed by a junior who has just broken through to the Golden Core stage. It's like a child who has studied ten years less but scores higher than you; it's inevitable that they would have doubts.

It seems unlikely that she will be able to return to the sect normally after this competition.

There were simply too many top-ranked individuals present.

Just as he was deep in thought, a loud voice suddenly rang out, reverberating throughout the entire island.

The elder of the Tianyan Sect, who was presiding over the Four Arts Competition, stepped through the air and spoke in a booming voice, carrying powerful spiritual energy that spread in all directions: "Fellow Daoists, welcome to the Four Arts Competition! The purpose of this competition is to exchange and hone the four arts of cultivation and enhance friendship among sects."

"This competition has four events: alchemy, talisman making, weapon crafting, and array formation. Each event has its own venue. Therefore, the competition will be held outdoors and supervised by the public to prevent cheating."

"The competition will last for three days. Participants must prepare their own materials, which will be inspected by the Tianyan Sect. Only those who have passed the inspection may enter. Now, all disciples participating in the Four Arts Competition, please enter the venue."

"I hereby declare the Four Arts Competition officially open!"

As a series of clear bell sounds rang out, the disciples participating in the Four Arts Competition filed in and headed to the venues for their respective skills.

Looking at these spirited and radiant young faces, Lin Yitang couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, as if she were among them.

Sighed.

Sigh, I'm getting old!

Logically speaking, at her age, she should be like these disciples, participating in inter-sect competitions to see the strength of other disciples and broaden her horizons.

However, she broke through too quickly. In just a few years, as soon as she stepped into the Golden Core stage, she became an elite disciple of the sect, and from then on, she had no chance to compete with these disciples.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

However, now is not the time for lamenting.

As the disciples entered the arena one after another, the referee elders of the competition also took their seats.

These referee elders also came from various major sects, and each of them was a renowned master of the four arts in the cultivation world. It would be extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to even meet them.

They were each responsible for different skill projects, and many of them were elderly people with white hair and beards, giving people the feeling that their skills were superb and unfathomable.

Suddenly, the disciples watching from the sidelines exclaimed in surprise, as if they had seen some kind of idol.

A dozen or so disciples escorted a stunningly beautiful female cultivator as she slowly walked towards them.

The female nun wore a light blue long dress with delicate silver embroidery on the hem. Her long black hair cascaded down her back, and her features were exquisite. She exuded an aura of untouchable nobility and aloof elegance.

Lin Yitang's gaze was also drawn to it.

Upon seeing the female cultivator's appearance, his pupils contracted.

She recognized the female cultivator; she was a celebrity in the cultivation world, the daughter of an elder of the Tianyan Sect, and one of its veteran elite disciples.

Not only is she exceptionally beautiful, but she is also incredibly powerful, a universally acknowledged goddess in the cultivation world, known as the "Pure Lotus Fairy." Her real name is Gu Ningshuang, which is rarely mentioned now.

Most importantly, she is the strongest among the elite disciples of the Tianyan Sect, ranking third on the Golden Core Ranking, just like Lei Poshan, one of the top three powerhouses on the Heavenly Ranking!

He was even second before, but was pushed down by Mu Xiuran.

Lin Yitang's gaze changed. The top three experts on the Heavenly Ranking must be those who possess the Dao Cone.

terrible!

This person was mentioned in the original text and was one of Ye Qiuli's competitors later on.

Because she and Ye Qiuli both had the image of an ice queen, and she was incredibly strong, she even put a lot of pressure on Ye Qiuli in the later stages, making Ye Qiuli almost unable to compete with her.

Of course, in the end, he also became one of Ye Qiuli's stepping stones. In fact, it goes without saying that now, everyone outside of Danfu Peak in the cultivation world is a stepping stone for Ye Qiuli in the original story, the only difference being whether they are famous or not.

It is said that Fairy Qinglian was not only stunningly beautiful, but also proficient in everything, excelling in all four arts. Whether it was alchemy, talismans, weapon crafting, or formations, she had reached an extremely high level of skill.

In some ways, her talent is so vast that it even surpasses that of the top two on the Heavenly Ranking who only know how to fight.

Was her appearance at the Four Arts Competition to maintain order, or did she have other motives?

Then the elder who had previously presided over the competition spoke up: "Fellow practitioners, you have probably all heard of this fairy, so I will not go into further introduction. She is also one of the judges of this Four Arts Competition and will be responsible for the final decision of the entire competition."

"At the same time, she is also one of the leaders of this competition. During the competition, she will patrol all the venues and check on everyone to prevent any violations of the rules."

"However, you need not worry too much. As long as there is no violation, Fairy Qinglian will not take action. On the contrary, if such a situation occurs, Fairy Qinglian will immediately stop such behavior without giving any reason."

However, not everyone listened to the elder's words. Many people present were still immersed in the scene of Fairy Qinglian's appearance, some shouting and some jumping.

"Wow, Fairy Qinglian! I've finally met her! Fairy Qinglian has been someone I've admired since I was a child. When I grow up, I want to be as powerful and omnipotent as Fairy Qinglian!"

A female cultivator exclaimed in fascination.

"My God, this is Fairy Qinglian! She's even more beautiful than in the portrait! Her aloof and elegant demeanor is so captivating, I'm about to faint!" another male cultivator chimed in.

"I didn't expect Fairy Qinglian to appear here. Doesn't she rarely participate in such competitions? Why is she here? Countless people have wanted to see her in the past, and even those who waited in Tianyan Sect couldn't catch a glimpse of her. This time, she actually came to be a referee."

Someone wondered.

Lin Yitang had the same question.

She couldn't help but ponder, this Fairy Qinglian, though famous, did not appear here in the original text.

Why is that?

In the original story, she did not participate in the Four Arts Competition, so the plot is based on Ye Qiuli's perspective.

It doesn't mention that Fairy Qinglian was the referee.

It's so weird.

Could it be that my appearance, my becoming an elite disciple, and my arrival at the Four Arts Competition altered the plot, leading to the arrival of the current Fairy Qinglian?

The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

Sure enough, the next moment, she felt a gaze, a strong sense of being watched, coming from the direction of Fairy Qinglian.
