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

She never imagined that her carefully planned cheating scheme would be exposed in this way.

Lin Yitang, that despicable woman!

Ye Qiuli stared intently at Lin Yitang, her eyes filled with resentment and venom. She wanted nothing more than to rush up and tear Lin Yitang to pieces, but reason told her that now was not the time to act impulsively.

He could only swallow his anger and leave the venue dejectedly, then hurriedly sought advice from his senior.

It just so happens that her second senior brother, Han Yi, is also present. Now that the Four Arts Competition plan has failed, they must come up with the next plan!

In a dark corner of the Immortal Cultivation City, Ye Qiuli found Han Yi. The moment she saw him, tears streamed down her face. She lunged at him, sobbing uncontrollably as she accused him.

"Senior brother! What should I do? I've messed it up! All my plans have been ruined by those two bitches, Lin Yitang and Gu Ningshuang. I can no longer become famous for alchemy! Everything is destroyed! It's all those two bitches' fault!"

Han Yi held Ye Qiuli tightly, feeling sorry for her. Seeing his junior sister crying so sadly, he also felt bad.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Junior Sister, don't cry. It's all my fault. I didn't expect Fairy Qinglian to come as the referee. I thought she would refuse this mission. If it weren't for that, no one would have been able to ruin our plan!"

"It's all because of this woman!"

Ye Qiuli asked through sobs, "Then what do we do? Are we just going to go home empty-handed this time?"

Han Yi said, "That's not it. Junior Sister, have you forgotten that Lin Yitang and Li Hao of the Tianyan Sect agreed to have a match after the competition? Not only him, but many others also plan to compete with Lin Yitang. Then our plan becomes much simpler, just like this, like this..."

Upon hearing Han Yi's plan, Ye Qiuli's eyes lit up, a fleeting hint of joy flashing across them before turning sinister and vicious.

She exclaimed excitedly, "Senior brother, you're so clever! This is a brilliant plan! Lin Yitang won't be able to return to the Taique Sect alive now. Hehe, you stinking woman, just you wait!"

……

the other side.

After Lin Yitang sat down, she was unable to calm down for a long time.

She hadn't expected Ye Qiuli to cheat; this was truly beyond her expectations. She had been hoping Ye Qiuli could be of some use; otherwise, she would have already reported Ye Qiuli's previous actions and wouldn't have allowed her to remain in the sect!

In this way, the plot is different from the book, and the first one is not necessarily Tai Que Zong.

But on second thought, that's not necessarily true.

Just because Ye Qiuli cheated in real life doesn't mean she didn't cheat in the original story. Could it be that Ye Qiuli in the original story was able to get first place because she stole Xu Xiping's elixir?

If that's the case, then Xu Xiping should be number one, not Ye Qiuli!

In this way, Taique Sect still has a chance. As long as Xu Xiping is not affected by this incident and performs normally, there is still hope of winning first place.

It remains to be seen whether Xu Xiping can withstand the pressure.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiping, who had just been relieved of her punishment, also resumed refining elixirs.

Although the materials she had previously refined had been wasted, she was fortunate to have enough materials. Even with only half a day less, she could still successfully refine the pills before the end.

However, given the chance, Xu Xiping suddenly hesitated. She was considering whether to refine the pills she had previously wanted to refine.

She had previously refined a Shaping Pill, which could change a person's body shape. Although it was precious, it had no effect on cultivation or combat; it only changed one's appearance.

Few cultivators care about appearance, so this kind of pill cannot surpass other pills of the same level; it is just easier to refine.

Xu Xiping originally wanted to play it safe, thinking that refining one pill of this level would be enough. However, Ye Qiuli's cheating incident brought her a crisis.

Ye Qiuli's Reincarnation Pill is of the same level as her Shaping Pill, but it is more popular and more expensive.

The Reincarnation Pill can reshape the physical body of a demon beast or spirit beast. Unlike the Shaping Pill, which only slightly adjusts the body, it restores it. Therefore, it is highly favored by cultivators who practice beast taming. Naturally, it is also more difficult to refine than the Shaping Pill.

Xu Xiping had thought that the Shaping Pill was already the highest-grade pill in the arena, but she hadn't expected that someone could refine an even higher-grade pill. Even though that person had been disqualified for cheating, it still made her feel the pressure.

She understood that if there were other people who could refine pills of this caliber, she would be far from being number one.

She glanced at the materials in her storage bag and found they contained the ingredients for refining the Reincarnation Pill. Gritting her teeth, she thought, "Why not take a gamble and refine the Reincarnation Pill?"

Her skill level was decent; she had successfully refined the Reincarnation Pill before, but the success rate was low, not as reliable as the Shaping Pill. If she were to refine the Reincarnation Pill, she would either succeed and win the top prize, or fail and receive no ranking.

Success or failure depends on this.

Even if we fail, it's much better than being punished along with Ye Qiuli. Besides, getting a low ranking is no different from failure, so we might as well take a gamble.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiping mobilized the earth fire, took out the materials for the Reincarnation Pill, and put them into the refining of the pill once again.

Time passed by, and two days went by in the blink of an eye. On the last day, the atmosphere became even more tense.

The Four Arts Competition allowed everyone to attempt multiple times within a set time, with only the best work from those three days being selected. Therefore, many people, even after producing their best work, continued to refine it.

The first to finish was the Array One Path, because setting up an array required too much time, and there wasn't enough time left to set one up. The referees also came to the Array One Path to inspect the arrays set up by the disciples.

In the past, Tai Que Sect rarely achieved good results in array formations, but this time was different. With two rising stars, Liu Yixing and Min Jingyuan, the Tai Que Sect achieved outstanding results.

It ranked second among all the formations on site, second only to a top genius from the Northern Formation Sect.

Although they didn't win first place, both of them were very satisfied because they understood that they were indeed no match for the disciples of the powerful Array Sect. Surpassing the Tianxuan Sect and Tianyan Sect was already a victory!

It should be noted that very few disciples of the Taique Sect have ever managed to secure a top-three finish; the only one they are familiar with is Mingyi Jun from a hundred years ago.

They couldn't help but look gratefully in Lin Yitang's direction. Senior Sister Lin deserved much credit for their achievements this time. If it weren't for the Icefield Stone Forest formation diagram provided by Senior Sister Lin, which they studied all night, they would have been in the top ten at best, and it would have been difficult for them to reach the top three.

On the other hand, the second ruling concerned the art of weapon crafting.

Thanks to the presence of Elder Wu's disciples, the Taique Sect's weapon-refining skills were not weak, and they naturally achieved second place, second only to the Weapon Sect, ranking first among the three major sects.

Next came the Dao of Alchemy.
