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

Lin Yitang replied, "Reporting to Master, this disciple spent three months."

"Three months?"

Xuan Hui was shocked, "Two gates?"

Lin Yitang nodded and said, "I feel that water and fire magic are quite compatible with me, so I can learn them relatively quickly. Moreover, I practice water and fire magic at the same time, so my progress is also faster."

After a moment's pause, True Lord Xuanhui said, "Water and fire spells are indeed suitable for simultaneous practice, but even for someone with exceptional talent, mastering the Fire Phoenix Technique and the Water Dragon Technique in three months is difficult. Are you sure you didn't rely on external forces?"

Lin Yitang was puzzled upon hearing this and said, "This disciple did not rely on any external force. When I practiced the Life-Inducing Technique and the Earth Escape Technique, it took me about three or four months to get the basics down before I started to become proficient. Could it be that this disciple's cultivation is too slow?"

True Monarch Xuanhui was both amused and exasperated. He thought to himself, "This isn't too slow; it's clearly too fast!"

It's fast enough to overturn the history of the cultivation world!

No, such a disciple should be protected at all costs.

He said earnestly, "There is one thing you must remember. From now on, you must never tell anyone about your cultivation speed. In the cultivation world, geniuses are often the focus of everyone's attention, but they are also easy targets. If you don't want to get into unnecessary trouble, you must learn to hide your talents."

Lin Yitang was taken aback, but then she understood her master's deeper meaning. She said respectfully, "Master's teachings will be kept in mind by your disciple."

After instructing him on the art of escape for a while, half the day had passed. At this time, Thousand Peaks gradually became lively, as the apprentice-acceptance ceremony was about to begin.

On the plaza of Thousand Peaks, a high platform stood tall, and numerous disciples gathered. In the center of the plaza, a magnificent altar had been erected, laden with all sorts of spiritual fruits, immortal flowers, and fine wines.

Hundreds of cultivators had gathered around the plaza to witness the ceremony. Some came from other peaks of the Taique Sect, some from other sects, and some were well-known independent cultivators from the vicinity of Thousand Peaks.

After all, Daoist Xuanhui is a celebrity in the cultivation world, with an extremely high status, a top expert, and a wide network of connections.

In such a grand setting, under the watchful eyes of so many powerful figures, it would be a lie to say Lin Yitang wasn't nervous.

However, during the ceremony, she still followed the procedures of the apprenticeship ceremony meticulously and flawlessly.

Throughout the ceremony, True Lord Xuanhui observed Lin Yitang. He noticed that Lin Yitang remained calm and handled every situation with ease. This composure and magnanimity pleased him more and more.

Lin Yitang is not only exceptionally talented, but also possesses an excellent character. She is destined for greatness.

After the master and apprentice drank the wine, it was time for the gift-giving ceremony.

Lin Yitang received many gifts from other powerful individuals, such as spiritual tea, immortal fruits, and magical artifacts.

Among them, the masters of the eight peaks all donated their peaks' unique treasures.

For example, Immortal Lord Huan Yue of Array Weapon Peak gave a Array Plate, True Lord Yun Meng of Spirit Grass Peak gave a set of potions, Peak Master of One Sword Peak gave a top-grade ore, and True Lord Zi Lan of Beast Taming Peak gave a Beast Taming Bell.

Even the main peak sent someone to deliver a cultivation manual to her, which surprised all the visitors. The main peak never gets involved in such trivial matters, nor does it show favoritism to any particular disciple, let alone send her gifts.

This junior sister from Thousand Peaks was the first person to receive a gift from the main peak, and the grand scale of the occasion left many people speechless.

However, True Monarch Yuheng of Danfu Peak did not come. He sent a personal disciple to deliver a bottle of pills.

The disciple's face was ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly. But he still followed the instructions of True Monarch Yuheng, stuffing the pill into Lin Yitang's hand and saying with a forced smile, "Junior Sister Lin, this is a gift from our Peak Master to you. Please accept it."

After the lively apprenticeship ceremony ended, Lin Yitang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and relax.

She returned to her cave and began to examine the gifts she had received during the ceremony.

The gifts from those outside the sect were mostly valuable small items, such as top-grade luminous pearls, water-repelling pearls, and the latest style of dharma robes.

These items aren't exactly rare, but they are certainly top-quality treasures on the market.

For example, the spiritual teas that many people gave her, even the top-grade ones, were only at the level of the tea Fan Niannian treated her to. Although the quality was excellent, they didn't hold much appeal for Lin Yitang.

Therefore, the most useful gifts were actually those given by the masters of the eight peaks.

The array plate, needless to say, can release defensive or offensive arrays once activated. Lin Yitang doesn't know how to use the array plate yet, but she can ask her master for guidance, and the inner sect academy will also teach her how to use it.

Then came the medicines sent by Spirit Herb Peak. These medicines were incredibly precious, high-grade elixirs refined by top-tier pharmacists. They could help cultivators improve their cultivation, heal injuries and detoxify, and some rare elixirs could even alter a person's constitution.

The top-grade ore gifted by the Peak Master of One Sword Peak appears to be high-quality black iron. Although Lin Yitang is not a weapon refiner, these ores can still be used as materials for crafting magical artifacts, preparing her for forging her own natal magical artifact in the future.

The Beast Taming Bell, a gift from True Monarch Zilan of Beast Taming Peak, was of unknown use to Lin Yitang, but its name suggested it was a magical artifact used to control demonic beasts. This might prove invaluable for her future training outside the sect.

As for the gift from True Monarch Yuheng of Danfu Peak...

Yes, it is a Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenation Pill.

To be honest, Lin Yitang was somewhat surprised. She had originally thought that Yuheng would give her some perfunctory pills, or even poisonous ones, to avenge her humiliation. But instead, he gave her such excellent pills?

The Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenation Pill is the best healing pill, capable of restoring life to the dead. As long as there is a breath left, even a fatal wound can be saved; it is a priceless treasure.

Such pills are almost impossible to find on the market; only top-tier alchemists might possess them. I never expected Yuheng to give her something so valuable. Is he trying to help her let go of her past hatred?

However, this is destined to be impossible.

Lin Yitang will never forget the original owner's experiences on Danfu Peak.

When the original owner entered the sect, she was a highly regarded genius. Her talent even caught the eye of True Monarch Yuheng, who accepted her as his personal disciple. However, although the original owner was exceptionally talented, her personality was not as innocent and adorable as the other disciples. She was not good with words and did not know how to flatter, so she received very little attention on Danfu Peak.

Later, the original owner displayed powerful cultivation talent, making True Lord Yuheng shine brightly for a time, and only then did Yuheng's attention fall on her. During that period, he provided the original owner with slightly more guidance, but it was limited to cultivation.

Yuheng believed that only by achieving something in cultivation could the original owner earn face for herself. Therefore, he forced the original owner to cultivate day and night, but never taught her the arts of alchemy and talisman-making.

The original owner once wanted to learn the four arts of cultivation, but when she proposed this idea, she was stopped.

Yuheng believed that learning the four arts would waste the original owner's cultivation time and hinder her progress. He hoped that the original owner could focus on cultivation, maintain her reputation as a genius, and continue to bring him glory.

Disheartened, the original owner secretly began practicing swordsmanship. This is why, despite being a disciple of Danfu Peak, she knew nothing of the Dao of Danfu.

Although the reason was rather heartless, at least Yuheng treated her very well on the surface, and the senior brothers and sisters in the peak also doted on her.

Until Ye Qiuli appeared.
