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

Lin Yitang smiled slightly and said, "That's right. May I ask where Master is now?"

The disciple said, "Master is discussing important matters with his fellow disciples at the Star Gazing Platform. If Senior Sister doesn't mind, please wait a moment."

Lin Yitang nodded and followed the disciple into the Peak Master's Hall.

The interior of the hall is decorated very elegantly, with an antique charm that is refreshing and delightful.

Lin Yitang waited for a moment, and then saw an old man with white hair step into the room. The old man was wearing a blue Taoist robe, and his face was thin. Although his hair and beard were white, he looked like a young man through his beard.

Lin Yitang quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Disciple Lin Yitang greets True Lord Xuanhui."

True Lord Xuanhui smiled slightly and said, "No need for formalities. You must be Lin Yitang? You are indeed a young talent."

Lin Yitang said respectfully, "You flatter me, True Lord. I am new to Thousand Paths Peak and would appreciate your guidance."

Xuanhui Zhenjun waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. From now on, we are master and disciple. You can call me Master."

Lin Yitang responded, then changed her address to, "Yes, Master."

Xuanhui Zhenjun smiled and nodded, took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, handed it to Lin Yitang, and said, "This is a gift from your master to you. Please keep it safe."

Lin Yitang took the jade pendant. It was pure white, smooth and warm to the touch. The surface of the pendant was carved with intricate patterns, which, upon closer inspection, revealed to be the terrain of Thousand Peaks.

She held the jade pendant in her hand, and a cool sensation flowed into her body through her palm, invigorating her. She could feel that the jade pendant contained extremely pure spiritual energy, making it undoubtedly a high-level treasure.

"This is a high-grade defensive jade pendant that can withstand a single attack from a Golden Core cultivator. With my modifications, it can withstand three Golden Core attacks or one Nascent Soul attack, and can save your life in critical moments."

Lin Yitang quickly put the jade pendant away and solemnly said, "Thank you for your generous gift, Master."

True Monarch Xuanhui smiled and said, "Alright, it's getting late. I still have some matters to attend to. You should go with your senior sister to arrange your accommodations. I'll come to find you again tomorrow to guide your cultivation."

After saying that, he turned around and called out the name of a female cultivator, asking her to show Lin Yitang around Thousand Peaks.

The female cultivator's name was Ling Nianyan. She responded as she flew over on her sword.

She wore a moon-white robe, her long hair cascaded down her back, her face was beautiful and her skin was as white as snow, and her bright eyes were like autumn water.

However, there were faint dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't had a proper rest in a long time. Her robes were also somewhat wrinkled, as if they hadn't been taken care of for a long time, and there was even some dust on them, which was quite inconsistent with her exquisite and otherworldly temperament.

She flew to Xuanhui Zhenjun, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master."

True Monarch Xuanhui nodded and pointed to Lin Yitang, saying, "Nianyan, this is the newly joined junior sister Lin Yitang. Take her to arrange her accommodations and take care of her."

Ling Nianyan, who had been looking sleepy when she landed, widened her eyes instantly upon hearing Lin Yitang's name.

She strode up to Lin Yitang, grabbed her hand, and exclaimed excitedly, "You're Lin Yitang? The Lin Yitang who shone so brightly in the disciple competition? I watched your match, and your talent and strength truly amazed me!"

"Your spiritual energy reserves are astonishing, and the purity is something I've never seen before. Your combat awareness and understanding of spells are also far beyond your age. What's even more remarkable is that you can even play advanced spells! I haven't even learned many spells of this level!"

Lin Yitang was taken aback by her sudden enthusiasm and felt a little embarrassed: "Senior sister, you flatter me. I was just lucky to have won Master's favor."

Ling Nianyan shook her head and said, "No, don't be modest. Your strength is definitely among the best of your generation. I can tell you're a natural-born magic cultivator! When we have time in the future, I'll definitely invite you to study magic with me!"

Researching magic?

At this moment, True Monarch Xuanhui coughed and continued, "Nianyan is my eldest disciple. She is extremely talented in cultivation techniques. She is now in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and is only one step away from forming the Core. However, this girl has a problem: she is too obsessed with researching new spells, which has actually affected her own cultivation. Yitang, you must not follow her example."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang looked at Ling Nianyan with eyes full of admiration. Researching new spells, excellent, truly impressive!

Ling Nianyan pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "Master, why are you criticizing me again? Aren't I exploring? Although I haven't made any progress yet, one day I will develop my own peerless magic!"

True Monarch Xuanhui shook his head helplessly: "Alright, you can do your research, but don't lead your junior sister astray. She's only sixteen years old and she's already at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining. Forming her core and breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage will be a natural progression for her. If you lead her astray, not only will I be in trouble, but the entire sect won't forgive you either."

Ling Nianyan pouted and replied, "Fine."

But the next second, her eyes widened again.

"Wait a minute? Junior Sister has already reached the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining? When did that happen? Didn't I remember she was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining?"

She turned to look at Lin Yitang, sensed him with her divine sense, and discovered that he was indeed at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining. She was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth: "It really is! What's going on? How can he be at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining in just three days! I can see that his aura is solid, so he must have broken through through proper means. How did he do it!"

Lin Yitang chuckled and replied, "It's probably because of the fighting and mental training that I had an epiphany. I was already on the verge of a breakthrough, and I just broke through a little further."

True Monarch Xuanhui nodded and said, "The last step of the Ladder of Inquiry is similar to the inner demon tribulation of cultivators. Nine out of ten who can complete the last step will break through, and sudden enlightenment is common. Nianyan, if you want to try, your master can help you apply for the Ladder of Inquiry."

Ling Nianyan quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, I don't think I have the same ability as Junior Sister to climb the ninety-nine-story cloud ladder. Besides, I'm only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and I haven't reached the time for enlightenment yet."

She then exclaimed, "Junior Sister's breakthrough speed is truly astonishing. You must know that the spiritual energy in the outer sect is extremely thin. To have such attainments is simply monstrous!"

Lin Yitang quickly replied modestly, "Senior sister, you flatter me. I was just lucky. Without the Ladder of Inquiry, I really wouldn't have been able to do it."

Ling Nianyan smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, I'll take you to see your cave."

He then pulled Lin Yitang onto the flying sword that had been prepared beforehand.

Lin Yitang felt a sudden lightness in her body, and she was already airborne. Looking down, she saw the scenery of Thousand Peaks rushing past, and she couldn't help but feel refreshed and invigorated.

She couldn't help but admire, "Senior Sister Ling, your skill in flying on a sword is truly remarkable."

Ling Nianyan smiled and said, "You'll be able to learn it soon too. Once you've established your foundation, you can learn the art of sword control."

Lin Yitang nodded. Indeed, in the cultivation world, only those at the Foundation Establishment stage or above can ride swords, and those at the Golden Core stage or above can fly.

During her time in the inner sect, she needs to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible.
