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

"Really?" The elder's words had barely left his mouth when the group from the south became excited.

They didn't expect Lin Yitang to actually do it, and she really did give each of them an extra hundred points!

When the more than two hundred new disciples were led off the flying boat by the steward disciples, the leaders of the other three teams were all envious.

In their eyes, these new disciples were not children, but living, breathing points. In the end, they were all obtained by Lin Yitang's team. How could this not arouse jealousy, envy and hatred!

Half a day later, the spiritual roots of the new disciples were also measured, and they were consistent with those registered on the jade slips of each group.

This once-in-a-decade disciple recruitment ceremony of the Taique Sect received a total of over nine hundred new disciples.

Among them, fourteen had single spiritual roots and thirty-seven had dual spiritual roots, setting a new record for the highest number of disciples with single or dual spiritual roots in the history of the Taique Sect. The news spread throughout the sect, shocking all directions.

The sect leader was delighted and called the elder in charge of the affairs and Lin Yitang and others aside to praise them.

Lin Yitang only then realized that the elder working beside the sect leader and in charge of the affairs was the Third Elder, who was also the elder that Fan Niannian had met when she received the mission.

For their meritorious service in eliminating the beast tide, the sect leader added two hundred points to each member of the Southern Squad.

At this moment, Lin Yitang's gains from this trip included 8,800 points for recruiting apprentices, 400 points for leading the team, an additional 300 points for meritorious service in recruiting apprentices, and 200 points for eliminating the beast tide, for a total of 9,700 points! Almost 10,000!

This achievement thrilled Lin Yitang. These points weren't just enough to get her to Foundation Establishment stage; they even provided her with cultivation resources for a period after that!

However, she wasn't too at ease, because unlike other geniuses, the resources she needed to improve each time were actually several times that of others.

Because she needs to maintain a high concentration and high reserve of spiritual energy, and given that she has five full-attribute spiritual roots, the resources she has used since transmigrating to the cultivation world are enough for an ordinary Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator to cultivate to Foundation Establishment, yet she is still at Qi Refining Level 8.

Some resources also need to be used for fighting, so even if she gets nearly 10,000 points, she's not sure she can use them for a long time.

The spirit chicken was a case in point. She hadn't planned to spend so many resources on it, but unexpectedly, it had become a surprise, consuming over a hundred mid-grade spirit stones of her resources! This was all an unexpected expenditure!

The spirit chicken is currently undergoing a breakthrough and has been placed in Lin Yitang's spirit beast bag to carry with her.

After checking her points and returning to her cave, Lin Yitang began her cultivation.

There are only a month and a few days left until the outer disciples' competition. She has cultivated for a month less than the disciples who did not participate in the mission.

She needs to quickly raise her cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining within this month, otherwise she'll be doomed if she encounters a disciple at the peak of Qi Refining.

She cannot use her cheat ability in this competition because there are cultivators or elders above the Golden Core level watching from the side. Any fluctuation of spiritual energy may attract the attention of the elders, so she must not use the Five Cauldrons Begonia.

Her last victory over those two peak third-tier demonic beasts was actually beyond her limit.

Each time she used an advanced Five Elements spell, she would lose a quarter to a third of her spiritual power. When she defeated the snake demon, she used four advanced spells, and the extra spiritual energy was replenished by eating several Five Cauldrons.

Her spiritual energy reserves are too low.

Simply put, it's because she's too weak.

She was able to defeat Chen Qi, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, when she was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, using basic Five Elements spells. However, it is impossible for her to jump two levels now, because the higher the cultivation level, the greater the difference in strength between levels. At most, she can fight to a draw with someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining by jumping one level using basic Five Elements spells.

Fortunately, through this experience of taking on a disciple, she traveled throughout the cultivation world and the secular world, witnessing many things, many families, many forces, and many people, which served as a valuable experience in the mortal realm. She was now close to breaking through to the next level.

So, in the last month, she went into complete seclusion.

......

on the other hand.

At this moment, on the back mountain.

Ye Qiuli, who was facing the wall in meditation, finally managed to send Nie Muqing out of this spiritually barren place after exhausting all her means.

Nie Muqing only made a minor mistake, and her crime was not as serious as that of the main culprit, Ye Qiuli, so it was reasonable for her to be released after a month.

At this moment, on the edge of the rugged back mountain, Ye Qiuli was explaining things to Nie Muqing.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Ye, for helping me shorten my sentence. I will never forget this kindness!"

Nie Muqing held Ye Qiuli's hand, her eyes blurry with tears as she thanked her.

Ye Qiuli said earnestly, "Junior Sister Mu Qing, you must help me beat Lin Yitang up badly in this outer disciple competition, preferably so badly that she can't participate in the subsequent competitions."

"Can I do it? Senior Sister has entrusted me with such a great responsibility. I'm afraid I can't handle it." Nie Muqing hesitated.

Ye Qiuli, her face full of trust, gently patted Nie Muqing's shoulder and said, "You can do it. You're the person I trust most by my side. Senior sister believes you can definitely do it! No matter what means you use, you must prevent Lin Yitang from entering the inner sect!"

Nie Muqing was deeply moved and quickly patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, leave this to me!"

Just as he was about to turn around, he hesitated and said, "But Senior Sister Ye, I'm only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, while I heard that Lin Yitang is already at the eighth level. How can I possibly defeat her?"

Ye Qiuli seemed to have anticipated that Nie Muqing would bring this up.

She gave a mysterious smile and whispered in Lin Yitang's ear, "You don't need to worry about that. I have a way to help you reach the peak of Qi Refining within a month! As long as you cultivate according to the technique I give you, you will be able to..."

She pulled Nie Muqing to her side, reached into her robes, and pulled out an ancient-looking martial arts manual.

"Mu Qing, look, this is a top-level cultivation technique that I obtained by chance from a senior. As long as you practice diligently, it will not be a problem to break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining within a month."

Nie Muqing's eyes widened, and she took the cultivation manual with a look of surprise and delight, carefully flipping through it.

Her fingers gently stroked the pages, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Senior sister, is this technique really that miraculous?" Nie Muqing asked with some skepticism.

Ye Qiuli patted Nie Muqing's shoulder again, her tone full of confidence: "Don't worry, Muqing. This cultivation technique is an ancient secret method with boundless power. As long as you cultivate it diligently, you will definitely be able to break through the bottleneck."

Nie Muqing was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Yes, senior sister, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Ye Qiuli patted her head with satisfaction and then instructed, "Also, Mu Qing, you must remember that when dealing with Lin Yitang, there's no need to talk about chivalry. She has embarrassed me many times, and this time I'm going to make her taste the real deal! Use whatever means you have to make sure she can't enter the inner sect."

Nie Muqing's expression hardened, and she nodded emphatically: "Understood, Senior Sister. There's no need to show mercy when dealing with such an arrogant person."

Ye Qiuli smiled, then took out several bottles of pills from her storage bag and handed them to Nie Muqing: "Take these pills; they can be of great help to you in a critical moment."

Nie Muqing quickly accepted it and thanked Ye Qiuli again.

Then, carrying the secret manual and elixirs, she finally left the back mountain and headed towards her cave.

Nie Muqing gripped the pill tightly in her hand, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes.

When she was in the back mountain, every time she thought of Lin Yitang's smug face when she reported her, endless anger would surge in her heart.

This time, she's determined to make Lin Yitang pay the price!
