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

As the barrier was restored and the disciples finished their battles, the first day of the second competition came to an end.

Lin Yitang was seriously injured this time, not for any other reason than that the spiritual energy that Nie Muqing used to strike her seemed to have some problems, making it difficult for her wounds to heal, stop the bleeding, and even causing a strange force to prevent the healing spell from penetrating and to corrode her skin.

Fan Niannian tried her best to stop the bleeding, but she still couldn't completely cure her.

She couldn't help but curse angrily, "This Nie Muqing, I really can't stand her. She's fallen into demonic possession, but she still left behind such troublesome demonic energy to interfere with my spells. I have no experience in dispelling demonic energy."

Senior Brother Wei said, "Why don't we send her to Doctor Jiang? Doctor Jiang from the main peak should have some expertise in this area."

So the group quickly took Lin Yitang to the medical clinic.

Inside the medical repair shop, the old healer examined Lin Yitang's wounds and frowned deeply.

He examined it carefully and discovered that the wound contained a trace of demonic energy!

The old healer was shocked and quickly asked, "Where did the demonic energy in this wound come from? Have you fought with any demonic cultivators recently?"

Lin Yitang weakly shook her head and said, "I have never fought against demonic cultivators. The person I am fighting today is a fellow disciple of my Taique Sect."

Upon hearing this, the old healer's expression grew even more grave. He pondered for a moment and said, "Although this demonic energy is weak, it is extremely strange. It seems to have been deliberately injected into your body. It seems that this matter is not so simple."

Someone told the old healer, "During the disciple competition just now, one of the disciples who fought her went berserk and that's how he injured her. Could that be the reason?"

The old healer shook his head: "No, the spiritual energy of a cultivator who has fallen into demonic possession is different from this. This is true demonic energy, something only a pure demonic cultivator can possess! Young friend, think again about whether you have fought with a demonic cultivator before."

Lin Yitang thought carefully for a moment and said, "Before Nie Muqing, who fought me before, seemed to have taken a bottle of pills. After taking the pills, her strength increased dramatically, and she quickly became a demon. Could it be because of these pills? However, I did not keep those pills, so I cannot show them to you."

The old physician agreed, saying, "In that case, the pill is very likely the source of the demonic energy. After Nie Muqing took the pill, the demonic energy invaded her body, causing her to become possessed by a demon. And during her battle with you, she transmitted the demonic energy to you through her wounds."

He sighed and continued, "This demonic energy is the most evil and malevolent energy in the world. Once it enters the body, it will become entangled with the blood and qi. If it is not removed in time, it will corrode the meridians, damage the foundation, and may even cause one to fall into the demonic path."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang's expression changed slightly; she hadn't expected the matter to be so serious.

He quickly asked, "Is there a way to dispel demonic energy?"

The old healer said, "Other healers certainly couldn't do this. Luckily, you came to me, and I can help you get rid of it. However, it will take about a few weeks to completely eradicate it."

Everyone was shocked: "Several weeks? The outer sect disciple competition is still going on tomorrow and the day after. We've missed the competition for so long."

Lin Yitang was also shocked. She knew this was Ye Qiuli's scheme to prevent her from entering the inner sect. But she actually used such a method, sacrificing Nie Muqing and putting demonic energy into her own body, making it difficult for her to participate in the competition!

As for where Ye Qiuli got her demonic energy, she didn't know either, as it wasn't mentioned in the original text.

She pondered for a moment and said, "I don't want to give up the competition. Does Doctor Jiang have any methods to temporarily suppress the demonic energy?"

Jiang Yixiu said, "Yes, I can help you gather the demonic energy together so that it doesn't interfere with other spiritual energies. However, you'll have to expend some spiritual energy to suppress the demonic energy from time to time, which will prevent you from using your full strength."

Lin Yitang nodded and said, "It's alright, as long as I can use 80 or 90% of my spiritual power."

So Jiang Yixiu began to treat Lin Yitang.

He first took out a pill and had Lin Yitang take it. Then, he took out a silver needle and inserted it into several acupoints.

These silver needles contain Jiang Yixiu's spiritual power, which can help Lin Yitang gather the demonic energy within her body.

A moment later, Lin Yitang felt the demonic energy within her body begin to stir restlessly. Seeing this, Jiang Yixiu quickly activated his spiritual power, gathering the demonic energy towards the silver needles.

As the demonic energy gathered, the agitation within Lin Yitang's body gradually subsided. She could feel that the demonic energy, which had been surging about, was now firmly bound by the silver needles.

Jiang Yixiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked at Lin Yitang and said, "Alright, it's temporarily under control. In the next few days, you need to keep your spiritual energy circulating at all times to prevent the demonic energy from getting out of control again."

After Lin Yitang thanked Jiang Yixiu, Fan Niannian also stepped forward and said, "Jiang Yixiu, we are afraid we should report this matter to the sect. Nie Muqing's abnormality is very likely related to demonic cultivators. If we don't find out the truth, it may cause trouble for the sect."

Jiang Yixiu nodded and said, "I will also report this matter to the sect. Don't worry, the sect will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give everyone an explanation."

Lin Yitang then rested for a night, moving the demonic energy to a location a certain distance from her dantian, and Fan Niannian treated her.

Fan Niannian's healing skills had become quite proficient after some time apart. In just a short while, Lin Yitang's wounds had stopped bleeding and scabbed over, much to her surprise.

The next day, Lin Yitang returned to the outer square to continue the competition.

However, she didn't go up herself; instead, she observed the fights taking place.

She's not in a rush to win a prize; she can first observe the experiences others have accumulated.

Her companions returned to their respective masters, and occasionally used the communication jade to discuss matters with Lin Yitang. She benefited greatly from the day's conversation.

Now she also deeply understands the importance of sect connections. Ye Qiuli used her connections to set countless traps for Lin Yitang, and Lin Yitang also used her connections to get out of these crises several times.

Like the last time the sect carried out a collective mission, if it weren't for the Second Elder, she would have been tormented terribly. This time, it was only because she had companions that she was able to get to know Jiang Yixiu and participate in the competition normally.

Every new person she meets becomes a variable in Ye Qiuli's plans.

On the third day, the main event of the disciple competition finally arrived. Before that, it was just minor skirmishes between lower-level disciples and the top 100 disciples, and the top 100 had basically been determined.

The final day is the real battle for the top 100.

Lin Yitang arrived early in the morning and grabbed a blue-white arena to defend.

She stood on the arena, her gaze sweeping around her, waiting for other disciples to challenge her.

Below the stage, the audience was talking about it.

"Look, isn't that Lin Yitang? Her injuries seem to have healed quickly. I was sure it would take two or three days to recover."

"Lin Yitang actually showed up. What happened to that disciple who fell into demonic possession last time?"

"I heard he was taken away by the Enforcement Peak. What a pity. He finally reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, but suddenly suffered a qi deviation. Nie Muqing was also a contender for the championship, and he's gone just like that."

"Junior Sister Lin is truly amazing. She actually defeated a Qi Refining Stage 10 cultivator who had fallen into demonic possession. Her strength is unimaginable."

"That Fire Phoenix Technique was truly amazing! I checked, and it's actually a high-level spell! Junior Sister Lin is only at the Qi Refining stage, yet she can cast such a high-level spell. She's truly gifted!"

"I heard people from Danfu Peak say bad things about Lin Yitang before, but now it seems those words were completely unfounded. Junior Sister Lin is the real powerhouse, and she might be one of the winners this time."
