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

Lin Yitang wasn't interested in handsome men, but she was intrigued by the so-called "huge benefits".

She rested her chin on her hand and asked, "What cultivation level is involved in this Sword Pavilion Tournament? Can I participate? What exactly are the incredible benefits? Has anyone revealed anything about them?"

Qian Rong replied, "There aren't many requirements regarding cultivation level; anyone below the Nascent Soul stage can participate. However, it's mostly Golden Core stage cultivators who participate, because Foundation Establishment stage cultivators are too low, and Nascent Soul stage cultivators are too embarrassed to participate. I think Master Lin could give it a try, after all, your swordsmanship is excellent."

"No one has revealed the rewards for the competition yet, but based on past experience, they won't be any worse than what's at the auction, so many people are envious! If I didn't know swordsmanship, I would have liked to participate, but unfortunately my cultivation is still too weak."

Qian Rong sighed, her expression slightly saddened.

This wasn't a lie; she genuinely wanted to participate in the Sword Pavilion Tournament. Although her family wasn't short of spirit stones, most of the items they could auction off were rare and valuable, things that money couldn't buy.

Not to mention that it's a prize from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. For the sixth-ranked sect to use it as a reward, it must be no ordinary treasure!

Lin Yitang's eyes lit up, and she felt a surge of excitement.

How about... we go and participate?

Although I just received fifty high-grade spirit stones and am not short of spirit stones for the time being, who would complain about having too many good things?

As long as no Nascent Soul cultivator is involved, she can definitely give it a try and get something good for free.

Why not!

Actually, there's another point: she also wanted to participate in a grand gathering of the cultivation world. This was an idea she had during the Four Arts Competition, and it remains her regret.

Because she broke through too quickly, she became an elite disciple without ever participating in a single ordinary competition, thus losing the qualification to participate in these ordinary competitions.

In the past two years, the only formal competition she's participated in has been the outer sect competition; the others were just casual sparring sessions, not really through any official channels. She longs to participate in a formal competition like the Four Arts Competition, just like any other disciple!

Thinking of this, she smiled at Qian Rong and said, "In that case, I'll also go and get involved. Where is Sword Pavilion? Show me the way!"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Rong was delighted and immediately began giving directions.

The reason she said those things and asked Lin Yitang to participate in the Sword Pavilion Grand Competition was that she hoped Lin Yitang could travel with her.

After all, although she was foolish, she wasn't completely stupid. The five guards she brought were all killed by the Hidden Killing Pavilion, and there was no one to protect her anymore. She was bound to die on this journey.

With a Golden Core stage expert accompanying her all the way, her safety was guaranteed. At least she wouldn't be robbed on the way to Sword Pavilion, which made her very happy!

In less than half an hour, the two arrived at the vicinity of a building. This building was towering into the clouds, slender like a tower, like a sword piercing the earth from the clouds.

In front of the Sword Pavilion was a large open space, crowded with people. Everyone carried at least one sword; some had it strapped to their waists, some held it in their hands, some carried swords on their backs, and some had already drawn their swords and were practicing swordsmanship.

Despite their different appearances, without exception, all of them were surrounded by a sharp aura, a sense of aloofness that kept strangers at bay, and some even unabashedly displayed their sword pressure.

They're all sword cultivators!

This was also the first time Qian Rong had ever seen so many sword cultivators, and her eyes were filled with hearts. So handsome, so handsome, so handsome!

Is this the Myriad Swords Sect? It certainly didn't disappoint her.

Lin Yitang randomly found a stall, chatted with the stall owner for a bit, and bought an ordinary spirit sword.

She casually touched the spine of the sword. Although it was far inferior to the sect's spiritual sword issued by the Taique Sect, it was still usable.

It'll do.

Qian Rong was puzzled when she saw this.

Seeing Lin Yitang refine the spirit sword with his own blood on the spot, she couldn't help but ask, "Master Lin, this sword... is it brand new? Are you planning to use this sword to participate in the Sword Pavilion Grand Competition?"

Lin Yitang nodded: "Yes, after all, I don't have a spirit sword. If the Sword Pavilion doesn't use spirit swords, how can we fight?"

She actually possessed the Taique Sect's spiritual sword, but she didn't want to reveal the sect's information casually, especially since she was unfamiliar with the area.

Qian Rong was clearly taken aback by this, and asked dryly, "No spirit sword? Could it be that this is your first time using a spirit sword, senior? You've never used one before?"

Lin Yitang nodded again: "Yes, this is indeed my first time using a sword. I've never used one before."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but show a look of reminiscence, "Back then, I also started by fighting with sword cultivators. From magic cultivators to saber cultivators, I always relied on sparring with sword cultivators to become stronger... Sword cultivators are also of great significance to me. I wonder what the level of sword cultivators in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is like. I hope they won't disappoint me."

However, Qian Rong no longer cared about what Lin Yitang said next; she hadn't yet recovered from the fact that Lin Yitang had never used a sword. She couldn't help but say again, "Senior, perhaps you shouldn't participate in the Sword Pavilion Grand Competition? I'll cover your travel expenses and take you to your destination."

"why?"

Lin Yitang was surprised. They had clearly agreed to participate, and it was Qian Rong who suggested it. Why did she suddenly go back on her word?

She paused for a moment, realizing that perhaps her statement that she had never used a sword before had caused the other person to misunderstand and think she was a novice.

He immediately explained, "Don't worry, I'm a master of the knife. Knives and swords are similar. As weapon cultivators, our weapons are all interconnected. There's no difference between knives and swords."

She still considered Qian Rong's feelings, after all, this was her lucky charm, and she couldn't scare her away.

Qian Rong stopped talking and watched silently, still feeling somewhat uneasy.

She was trembling and somewhat annoyed.

This Golden Core senior must know that sword cultivators' battles involve more than just sword energy; they also need to know sword techniques and sword manuals, right?

A person who has never used a sword naturally does not know how to use swordsmanship, and therefore cannot defeat those pure sword cultivators at all.

She knew that in a duel between masters, even the slightest mistake could affect the outcome of the battle, let alone if one of them didn't know the other's swordsmanship.

Oh no, she seems to have really messed things up for this senior. Going up there is just suicide. Sword cultivators don't hold back in sparring; every move is aimed at the fatal spot. Once a sword strike is delivered, life or death is in the hands of fate. If she kills her savior, or even if he is only seriously injured or crippled, she will regret it for the rest of her life!

Just as she was thinking this, the Sword Pavilion Grand Competition had officially begun.

Sword cultivators are known for their straightforward and pure style, doing things cleanly and efficiently without any delays, prioritizing efficiency above all else.

Unlike other major competitions, the Sword Pavilion Grand Competition didn't have much introduction and started quietly.

The format of this match will be determined by a draw.

Lin Yitang was also experiencing drawing lots for the first time. She took out a strip of cloth from the wooden box, which corresponded to number one.

She looked up at her opponent, a tall and strong swordsman with dark skin, standing eight feet tall, carrying a heavy sword on his back. He was clearly a cultivator with immense power.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd had begun to whisper among themselves. Judging from their words, it seemed that this cultivator was a well-known figure in the Myriad Swords Sect. Although he was not a disciple of the sect, he was famous far and wide in the vicinity of the Sword Pavilion and was extremely powerful.

Unexpectedly, she drew a formidable opponent in the very first round! Instead of being afraid, Lin Yitang was filled with anticipation.

Meanwhile, Qian Rong's heart was pounding in her chest, her face turned pale, and she felt increasingly guilty.

This is terrible! My Golden Core benefactor has such bad luck. He actually drew the title of "Overlord Sword" from the Wanjian Sect region. You know, it's not easy to have a title in a sect. He'll probably get injured in the first round!
