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

Seeing that no one believed her, Lin Yitang sighed and looked at the leader in the north, saying, "Senior sister, I really didn't lie to you. We did encounter a beast tide led by a second-tier demon beast, and all the members of my team can testify to that."

She paused slightly, then continued, "Besides, even if words can lie, things can't lie, right?"

After speaking, Lin Yitang took out four demon cores from her storage bag and gently displayed them to everyone.

The four demon cores emitted a faint light; one was blood red, one was dark gold, one was a dark green snake demon core, and the other emitted a bewitching blue light.

They floated silently in the air, shimmering with an eerie light; they were clearly the demon cores of second-tier demonic beasts. Moreover, the demon cores were covered with blood streaks and bits of fresh flesh that hadn't been completely removed, indicating they had just been killed.

Everyone stared intently, and couldn't help but gasp. These four demon cores were indeed from second-tier demon beasts, two of which were from peak second-tier demon beasts!

Now, even the female cultivator who had previously questioned Lin Yitang was speechless.

Her eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at the four demon cores, her doubts gradually dissipating.

Seeing this, the male cultivator leading the Eastern group said sourly, "This definitely wasn't fought by one person. Of course, a group of people could defeat a monster."

Before Lin Yitang could refute, the outer disciples of the Southern Team were immediately dissatisfied upon hearing this.

Many people defended Lin Yitang, saying:

"No, it was indeed Senior Sister Lin who defeated her!"

"Senior Sister Lin is amazing! She injured a second-tier demon beast with just one fire spell!"

"If it weren't for Senior Sister Lin, how could we have completed the mission so smoothly?"

"Senior Sister Lin is not only very strong, but she also takes great care of us. Whenever there is danger, she is always the first to rush to the front."

"With Senior Sister Lin around, we feel so safe."

The disciples of the Southern Team praised Lin Yitang to the skies.

Their eyes brimmed with admiration, and everyone present could feel their respect for Lin Yitang.

Seeing his disciples speak up for him, Lin Yitang breathed a sigh of relief.

To gain the approval of others, the most important thing is to know how to help them protect or fight for their interests. This is why many female protagonists can't compete with female supporting characters.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these disciples are helping her now; the real reason is that she promised to apply for more points for them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

Lin Yitang personally interrupted everyone's flattery, saying, "Alright, alright, these are not issues we should be discussing now. Shouldn't we let the Western team rest and recover from their injuries, and then bring the new disciples into the sect to settle them in?"

Upon hearing this, the elder of the main peak finally realized what was happening and quickly said, "Everyone, let's bring the new disciples out for the sect entrance test first."

The elder coughed lightly and said slowly, "During the two weeks you were away, the new disciples who joined the sect on their own have basically completed their tests. There are four hundred people from cultivation cities and villages, and one hundred people from families, totaling more than five hundred. If each of your teams recruits one hundred people this time, you will meet the normal standards."

Upon hearing this, the northern team leader said smugly, "Heh, it's that simple. I've already recruited a hundred people."

With that, she waved her hand, and more than a hundred new disciples on the immortal boat behind her disembarked in an orderly fashion.

The elder took the jade slip from the female cultivator, glanced at it, and said with satisfaction, "Fifty people with five spiritual roots, thirty people with four spiritual roots, twenty people with three spiritual roots, five people with two spiritual roots, and two people with one spiritual root. Very well done."

After saying this, the elder instructed the disciples in charge to lead him to the place where spiritual roots were tested.

Then it was the leader from the East who handed the jade slip to the elder. The elder praised, "Sixty people have five spiritual roots, thirty people have four spiritual roots, ten people have three spiritual roots, and three people have two spiritual roots. Although there are no single spiritual roots, you have done very well. Take them down for testing."

After speaking, the disciple in charge led the more than one hundred people on the immortal boat to the Spirit Testing Hall.

Next came the Western leader, who limped as he handed the jade slip to the elder.

The elder glanced at the jade slip, frowned slightly, and said, "Forty people have five spiritual roots, twenty people have four spiritual roots, eight people have three spiritual roots, two people have two spiritual roots, and two people have one spiritual root. Although it is less than one hundred, there are more people with one spiritual root, so they are barely qualified."

He then instructed the disciples in charge to take the seventy-odd disciples away.

Lin Yitang was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that other teams would receive so few disciples. How could she explain her two hundred-plus disciples?

The elder then looked at her and asked, "Lin Yitang, where is your team?"

Lin Yitang hesitated and slowly walked forward, placing the jade slip in the elder's hand.

Someone nearby asked in confusion, "Why is Senior Sister Lin being so hesitant when handing over the jade slip? Could it be that there's something she doesn't want to share?"

Someone nearby scoffed, "It must be because there aren't enough people willing to pay, so they're afraid to give it away."

However, when the elder saw the contents of the jade slip, his eyes widened in disbelief: "Two by two, more than two hundred people?"

At this moment, everyone around doubted that they had misheard. The elder finally recovered and took a deep breath with a complicated expression, saying, "The Southern Team has recruited a total of 220 disciples, including 90 with five spiritual roots, 70 with four spiritual roots, 40 with three spiritual roots, 15 with two spiritual roots, and 5 with one spiritual root. It is truly an unbelievable achievement."

This string of numbers stunned everyone in the square.

The Eastern and Western tour leaders gaped in astonishment, and even the Northern tour leader, who was about to leave, turned back in shock and exclaimed, "Two, more than two hundred people? How is that possible? How did they do it?"

The elder asked nervously, "Junior Sister Yitang, could you tell us how you managed to attract so many people? Could you share your experience?"

Lin Yitang tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I just recruited disciples in a very ordinary, 'plundering' way. I went to every corner and that's all I got."

Another team leader said, "We've gone through all of them, but we didn't see that many."

Lin Yitang stroked her chin and thought for a moment, then said, "Then, is it possible that I habitually use my divine sense to scan every place I go and find many children that have not been discovered?"

The Eastern team leader was shocked: "Is that even possible? I never even thought of scanning the entire area. This means that many children have been hidden by their parents. That's impossible, isn't it? How could any parent not want their child to come to the Taique Sect?"

Hearing this, the elder said seriously, "It's not impossible. In many areas where information is limited or concepts are wrong, some families or parents do not want their children to join the sect. This happens a lot, and I've heard about it several times. I didn't expect there to be so many families like this. Did Junior Sister Yitang persuade them one by one to release the child?"

Lin Yitang nodded, "Yes, I can't just abandon them because of their parents' ignorance. Maybe they'll be the future leaders of the cultivation world."

The elder said approvingly, "No wonder you arrived late. It seems you are all very conscientious cultivators, which is excellent. In other words, there are still some people with spiritual roots in the east, west, and north that have not been discovered. I will deal with this later. I will report this discovery to the higher-ups so that the sect can pay more attention in the future."

Lin Yitang and the others nodded.

The elder then said, "In order to set a good example for the sect and to commend the Southern Team for their contributions, I will apply to add 100 points to each member of the Southern Team and 300 points to the team leader as a reward."
