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

Lin Yitang pondered for a moment and replied, "If we encounter this situation, we should prioritize harmony and try to avoid conflict. After all, we are all members of the same sect, and there's no need to ruin our harmony over trivial matters. We can first communicate with the other party to see if there's any possibility of coordination. If we really can't reach an agreement, then it's not too late to rely on our own abilities."

"Of course, that's only necessary at the borders, because the boundaries between sects aren't so strictly defined. There will always be places where territories haven't been demarcated yet, and whether you can recruit disciples depends entirely on your ability."

"However, if you encounter people from other sects recruiting disciples within the territory of Taique Sect, do not hesitate to drive them out. After all, recruiting disciples on our land is tantamount to stealing people and trying to cut off our source of geniuses. The sect will not sit idly by, and Taique will back us up."

The disciples all nodded.

After Lin Yitang finished speaking, he divided his disciples into small teams of about twenty people each. He instructed them to recruit disciples in different directions within a radius of a hundred miles after the flying boat landed. This would maximize efficiency.

After distributing the spirit-testing stones to each team, Lin Yitang sat down and sighed.

Actually, there was something she didn't tell everyone: the secret missions the sect gave to each team leader.

The sect had a private conversation with the four team leaders, telling them that the reason they had gathered so many people for this disciple recruitment ceremony, selected the ones with the highest cultivation levels, and paid such high rewards was because they had an important task to be given to them.

This mission is to investigate the beast tide!

According to members of the sect, there were rumors a few months ago that a beast tide might occur, so some disciples were sent to investigate under the guise of eliminating demonic beasts. The final result was that the rumors were false in some areas and true in others.

In other words, there really are places where animal tides could occur!

However, since the number of people sent last time was too small, there was a possibility of misjudgment. This time, sending so many disciples will make the investigation much easier, and at the same time, it will also be possible to recruit some geniuses, which is a win-win situation for the sect.

The sect members said, "If you discover a beast tide, quickly unite the sect disciples to exterminate the monsters. This is the important task entrusted to each team leader. After the mission is completed, points will be awarded based on merit! Of course, if there is no beast tide, then you should focus on recruiting disciples. In any case, the safety of the sect is entrusted to you, so you must complete the task well."

Lin Yitang and the others accepted the order. However, Lin Yitang frowned the whole way.

The beast tide—she remembered it. She had read about it in the original story, and the female protagonist, Ye Qiuli, had also participated in this beast tide.

This beast tide occurred some time before the opening of the Xuan Tian Secret Realm. However, unlike other beast tides, this one was the largest beast tide in the history of the cultivation world!

Normally, beast tides are just minor skirmishes that destroy one or two villages, or at most attack a few more, and they hardly pose any threat to the Immortal Cultivation City.

However, the beast tide described in the original text was on a scale comparable to a monster siege!

Ye Qiuli also rose to fame in this beast tide incident, becoming a legend of the Taique Sect.

However, what made Lin Yitang uneasy was that the original text only mentioned the sudden outbreak of the beast tide, without mentioning the events in the early stages of the beast tide.

If the current timeframe is the same as the original timeline, then the siege beast tide did not occur overnight, but rather was caused by improper preliminary investigation, leading to the largest-scale beast tide outbreak.

This operation is somewhat dangerous!

……

The airship sped through the air and soon arrived in the southern region.

People in the cultivation cities surrounding the Taique Sect generally know their own spiritual roots and will go to the Taique Sect on their own, so there's no need for disciples to specifically test their spiritual roots. Therefore, the focus is on the disciples in the mortal world.

Lin Yitang and the others continued on their way, first arriving at the border between the cultivation world and the mortal world.

The mortal world is different from the cultivation world. There is no rich spiritual energy, no powerful demonic beasts, and no cultivators who can fly or escape into the earth. There are only ordinary mortals who work at sunrise and rest at sunset, living a simple life.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the mortal world is relatively low, but it's not entirely absent. Lin Yitang could sense faint wisps of spiritual energy, drifting in the air like gossamer threads, but these wisps were insignificant to cultivators.

In fact, the original owner of this body was also from the secular world, unlike the female lead, Ye Qiuli.

The female protagonist is an orphan who ended up on the streets of the cultivation world, while the original owner of the body was a child from a mortal village in the secular world. The original owner came from a small village called Linjia Village, with complete parents, brothers and sisters. However, after cultivating immortality, she severed her ties with the mortal world, and no matter how her relatives lived, it was none of her business.

Lin Yitang had no intention of going to see. Stepping onto the path of immortality meant that everything in the past would vanish like smoke, and all karmic ties in the mortal world would be illusions. In fact, she had a complete family before she transmigrated, but since she had chosen to cultivate immortality, she could only sever that connection.

Unlike some cultivation novels where characters cling to grudges from their past lives, she wouldn't engage in a desperate attempt to return to Earth. She knew very well that she only had one path: the path of ascension.

Circumstances did not allow her to be confused.

After a few cups of tea, Lin Yitang directed the flying boat to land in an open area, and then led his disciples to begin their group operations.

She sent more than ten teams in different directions, forming a fan shape. Each team of more than twenty members selected a team leader to supervise the spirit stones.

"Everyone must be vigilant and pay attention to safety," Lin Yitang urged. "Contact me immediately if you encounter any danger, and don't be reckless."

The disciples responded and flew off in different directions according to their assigned groups.

Since Qi Refining stage disciples cannot fly on swords, the sect has also equipped everyone with flying magical artifacts, which, like spirit stones, must be returned.

Even sects have to save face.

Lin Yitang then led the remaining disciples to the due south direction.

Villages in the mortal world and villages in the cultivation world are indistinguishable in appearance. The only difference is that villages in the cultivation world also have a few cultivators, while villages in the mortal world are entirely populated by ordinary people.

When Lin Yitang and the others disembarked from the flying magical artifact, the villagers erupted in cheers.

They all put down their work and gathered around the group of monks with curiosity and awe.

"Look! They're immortal masters! They must be immortal masters!"

A villager shouted excitedly, then knelt down with a thud and bowed down devoutly.

Seeing this, the other villagers also knelt down, chanting, "The arrival of the immortal master must be a blessing from heaven!"

"The immortal master has actually come to our village! How fortunate we are!"

A group of children emerged from the crowd, their eyes wide with curiosity as they looked at the monks.

"Mommy, they can fly! That's amazing! How do they do that?" a child asked, tugging at his mother's clothes.

The mother immediately covered her child's mouth in a panic: "Silly boy, that's an immortal! Kneel down! Immortals possess magical powers; if you disobey one, you'll suffer the consequences!"
