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

The Alchemy Grand Competition can be said to be the competition with the most participants, the greatest difficulty, and the most attention among all the Four Arts Grand Competitions.

Because everyone's cultivation nowadays relies on elixirs, alchemists hold a very high status in the cultivation world, and consequently, the competition in the alchemy field is the fiercest.

There are many talented people in various schools of alchemy, and it is not easy to break through the encirclement among so many geniuses.

Especially since Tai Que Zong had previously made a fool of himself because of Ye Qiu Li, he was now so nervous that he was sweating profusely.

After all, many people know that Ye Qiuli is the personal disciple of True Monarch Yuheng of Danfu Peak. If even the personal disciple cheats, just how bad is the alchemy level of Taique Sect?

All the major sects present were waiting to see the Taique Sect make a fool of itself!

To everyone's surprise, the winner this time was not a disciple of the Dan Sect, but a member of the Tai Que Sect.

Xu Xiping.

In this alchemy competition, many people chose to play it safe and refine the pills they were best at, while very few people tried to refine pills that were difficult for them to make in order to get a higher ranking.

Even if some do succeed, they're mostly just trying their luck or joining in the fun; very few succeed, and the quality isn't high either.

This is quite normal; everyone is here on the master's orders, and few people dare to gamble in such a setting.

Xu Xiping, however, is different. She had already experienced being almost eliminated once, so her mindset is different.

The Reincarnation Pill she attempted to refine actually became the highest-grade pill present!

And with incredible luck, the refining was successful!

Even Lin Yitang was surprised. Ye Qiuli's choice of the Reincarnation Pill might also be intended to make Xu Xiping fail. After all, there are very few people under the age of 100 who can refine the Reincarnation Pill, and those who can are basically the top of their generation.

Xu Xiping, however, succeeded. Therefore, her score was naturally the highest in the Dao of Alchemy.

Even the second-ranked disciple of the Dan Sect refined a pill of similar quality to the Shaping Pill, which was far inferior to Xu Xiping's.

Even Xu Xiping herself couldn't believe that her gamble had been the right decision. Otherwise, her shaping pill would never have won first place.

Thinking of this, she glanced gratefully at Lin Yitang. If it weren't for Senior Sister Lin helping her and getting her qualification back, she wouldn't have achieved such good results.

Meanwhile, the other major sects, especially the other two major sects, were furious when they saw this.

They simply couldn't believe how the Taique Sect had become so powerful in the Four Arts, with two second-place finishes and one first-place finish. Even the combined strength of all the major sects didn't have so many disciples with such high rankings.

Only one disciple from one of the top ten sects took third place in the Formation Dao, one disciple from the Tianyan Sect took third place in the Weapon Dao, and one disciple from the Tianxuan Sect took third place in the Alchemy Dao.

Wasn't the Taique Sect weakened by the beast tide? How come it still managed to cultivate so many talents?

The Grand Competition on Alchemy, in particular, was the most unexpected.

I thought that with the elimination of the direct disciples of Danfu Peak, the Taique Sect had no one left to hold its own, but I didn't expect there to be Xu Xiping. An inner disciple who is even more powerful than the direct disciples, Danfu Peak of the Taique Sect is truly a strange place.

Now that the result was in, there was nothing more for everyone to say, and they could only look toward the last of the Four Arts, the Talisman Dao Grand Competition.

In terms of talismanic arts, the Taique Sect truly has no geniuses left, which makes the fellow disciples and even the elite disciples leading the teams extremely worried and regretful.

Apart from Lin Yitang.

Lin Yitang had already noticed the talisman of that little-known Taique Sect disciple, and his position as number one was now unshakeable.

As she expected, the seemingly ordinary inner disciple actually achieved first place in the Talisman Dao, scoring higher than the disciples of the Talisman Sect and second only to Xu Xiping.

This was even more unexpected for everyone. No one expected that the first place winner of the last round would be from the Taique Sect, and that he was an inner disciple, not a direct disciple!

This infuriated both the Tianyan Sect and the Tianxuan Sect. The Taique Sect's performance this time was simply too outstanding, with two second-place finishes and two first-place finishes, leaving them far behind and making both sects a laughing stock.

The Heavenly Profound Sect, in particular, as the number one sect in the cultivation world, only managed to secure a top-three finish in alchemy during this competition, failing to achieve anything else. Although a small competition of the Four Arts doesn't prove much, it was still extremely displeasing to have been surpassed by a sect they had always looked down upon.

Fortunately, the Four Arts Competition is not a sect competition and has nothing to do with the struggle for resources, so the impact is not that great. It's not a big deal for the Taique Sect to show off a bit.

As long as we can win the sect competition in six months, that's fine.

Thus concludes the Four Arts Competition.

The disciples who ranked in the top three from each sect stepped forward to receive their rewards. Liu Yihang and Min Jingyuan immediately thanked Lin Yitang after receiving their rewards, followed by Xu Xiping.

To Lin Yitang's surprise, the disciple who won first place in the Talisman Dao Competition also walked towards her.

She was certain she had never seen this male cultivator before, but she didn't know what he wanted to do here.

The male cultivator bowed respectfully to Lin Yitang and said, "Senior Sister Lin, I owe my ranking in this Talisman Dao Competition to you. Thank you, Senior Sister."

Lin Yitang was stunned by these words.

I??

Thank me for what I did.

She tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "Junior brother, do you... know me?"

The male cultivator smiled and said, "Of course, Senior Sister Lin is my benefactor, so it's impossible for me not to know her. Although she may not recognize me, I will always remember her kindness."

He paused for a moment, then began to explain.

It turned out that this male cultivator's name was Huang Jibai, and he came from a poor family in the mortal world. He was able to enter the Taique Sect because he had spiritual roots. However, his spiritual roots were not very good, so after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he only entered the inner sect and was not noticed by any Nascent Soul cultivators.

He has always had a deep-seated regret: his younger brother went missing when he was very young. He and his family have been searching for him, but they have never been able to find him.

Therefore, even though he had already established his foundation within the sect, become an inner disciple, and demonstrated his talent, he still couldn't resolve this inner conflict.

This incident became a lifelong regret for him, even hindering his spiritual practice and causing him to hit a bottleneck.

However, a turning point came just two years ago.

At the Taique Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony, as Senior Sister Lin demonstrated her skills in recruiting disciples, her younger brother was found!

He recognized his younger brother at a glance a thin, dirty boy with poor spiritual roots.

Lin Yitang picked her up.

At that moment, it felt as if a string in his heart had been released. The knot in his heart was untied, and the bottleneck was broken through.

His joy at having lost her made him remember her face forever.

Even though Lin Yitang was not famous at that time, and was only an outer disciple, he was despised by everyone because he was expelled from Danfu Peak by Yuheng Zhenjun.

At that time, he began to pay attention to this senior sister Lin, and worked hard to repay Lin Yitang.
