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

The female cultivator looked up at Lin Yitang, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected Lin Yitang to take the initiative to talk to her, after all, Lin Yitang was now a celebrity in the outer sect.

"You mean the reason they're staying away from you? They're probably afraid of you."

Seeing Lin Yitang's puzzled expression, she explained, "Their attitude is probably because rumors are circulating in the inner sect that you have impure thoughts and improper behavior. Everyone heard that you were expelled for harming your fellow disciples, so they don't dare to approach you."

Lin Yitang was surprised by this reason and asked in confusion, "Is it because of this? But my ability to climb the ladder proves that I have no bad intentions, doesn't it?"

The female cultivator said, "That's why everyone is saying that you used improper methods when you climbed the cloud ladder, otherwise it would be impossible for you to be so fast. Such superhuman and unprecedented speed would raise suspicions anywhere."

Lin Yitang understood. So that's how it is; now everything makes sense.

It was all because of the rumors Ye Qiuli spread before!

Ye Qiuli went to great lengths to oust her from the inner sect, using every possible means of framing and slander.

For example, he deliberately bumped into Lin Yitang's hand while she was drinking water, then lied and claimed that she had gotten his clothes wet; he pretended to drop a secret manual and then falsely accused Lin Yitang of stealing it, resorting to any means necessary; he even drugged Lin Yitang's food, almost causing her to go berserk, and then spread the news. And so on.

These people resort to any means necessary to frame and slander others.

Her only goal was to make everyone believe that Lin Yitang was a dishonest and unscrupulous person, so that they would be expelled from the inner sect.

Unfortunately, because the original owner had lived in the sect since childhood and was simple-minded, she was no match for Ye Qiuli, who had been wandering outside for a long time, and her schemes ultimately succeeded.

This has led to the entire inner sect being successfully brainwashed by Ye Qiuli. Furthermore, with Lin Yitang's arrival and her departure from the inner sect for a full year, these rumors have become increasingly rampant, affecting even the new disciples.

It's truly disgusting. It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them. Moreover, Ye Qiuli was slandered in public, causing these infamy to stick to her like a leech, impossible to wash off.

As long as Ye Qiuli's true colors aren't exposed, this rumor will stay with her for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, Lin Yitang's fists hardened. Once Ye Qiuli emerged from seclusion, she would definitely find a chance to beat her up!

She lacked ability before, but now that she has cultivation and a background, as long as she reaches the Foundation Establishment stage sooner, dealing with Ye Qiuli will be a piece of cake.

Anyway, she's a villainous supporting character, so it's only right that she teaches the female lead a lesson. As for those other inner disciples who believe everything they hear, she'll find a chance to teach them a lesson!

However, the next moment, Lin Yitang suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, since there are rumors about me all over the inner sect, why aren't you afraid of me? You all seem quite calm."

The female cultivator shrugged and said, "We are all direct disciples, with masters above us, so why should we be afraid? Besides, true geniuses don't believe in those things passed down by word of mouth. Spreading those rumors won't improve our cultivation or increase our strength, it's pointless."

Lin Yitang understood again. Indeed, having a powerful backer gives one confidence. Such unfounded rumors have a greater impact on ordinary inner disciples, but personal disciples are not worried.

It seems that not everyone was affected; at least the new disciples present did not seem to care.

Because of these words, Lin Yitang's opinion of female cultivators improved several levels.

She sat down next to the female cultivator and asked, "Junior sister, which peak are you from? What's your name? May I sit next to you?"

The female cultivator replied, "I am from Beast Taming Peak, a disciple of True Monarch Zilan. You can call me Junior Sister Shi. You can sit next to me. Don't worry, our peak master has a very good impression of you, and I won't spread rumors about you."

It turns out that this is Shi Muyue, the genius of Beast Taming Peak, and the new personal disciple of True Monarch Zilan.

Just as Lin Yitang was about to get to know him, she suddenly remembered that Shi Muyue was the name of the second-place winner of the ninth level of Qi Refining in the outer sect competition.

She's in first place, so wouldn't the second place be...?

Lin Yitang immediately felt extremely guilty.

She remembered that she had fought with this junior sister in order to win eleventh place.

At that time, this junior sister was controlling two white foxes, which were quite powerful, and she had a deep impression of them.

To my surprise, she didn't recognize me at first glance and even came to talk to me. What a blunder.

I wonder if Junior Sister Shi remembers how badly Lin Yitang beat her back then...

Seeing that Shi Muyue did not mention this matter, Lin Yitang had no choice but to sit up straight and pretend it was their first meeting.

Soon the training course began.

The first lesson covered the essentials of late-stage Qi Refining cultivation and the key points of the Foundation Building process.

According to the old cultivator, those in the Qi Refining stage are still mortals, while those in the Foundation Establishment stage step into the true realm of immortals, and their lifespan can increase from 150 to 200 years. However, Foundation Establishment is extremely difficult, and without exception, those who attempt it for the first time will fail. Many people fail five or six times before succeeding, and many attempt several times before failing, which is what is known as the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

There is only one way to increase the chances of Foundation Establishment: use Foundation Establishment Pills.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is one of the most precious pills in the cultivation world, far more valuable than one can imagine. Its refining process is extremely complex, requiring several rare spiritual herbs and spirit beast materials, each of which is extremely hard to come by.

Therefore, Foundation Establishment Pills are extremely rare in the cultivation world, and even major sects only have a few in stock.

These words shocked Lin Yitang, and her mood became slightly heavy.

Although she also wanted to successfully establish her foundation before Ye Qiuli emerged from seclusion, as the old cultivator said, establishing a foundation is not such an easy thing.

Even a genius, after using the Foundation Establishment Pill, usually needs to try two or three times to successfully establish their foundation.

Just like Ye Qiuli, although the original text says that she succeeded in one go, after she altered the plot, it seems that she has already established her foundation two or three times, and is still at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Even someone as gifted and resourceful as Ye Qiuli failed two or three times, let alone her.

Moreover, she only has one Foundation Establishment Pill on her body, which is only enough for one use. If she fails the first time, she will have to try five or six more times to succeed.

Ye Qiuli had already been released by then.

Thinking of this, she had no choice but to raise her hand, intending to ask the old teacher who was giving the lecture.

The old master was speaking eloquently on the platform when he suddenly saw a female disciple raise her hand, and he was taken aback.

He cleared his throat and asked, "Lin Yitang, is there a problem?"

Lin Yitang stood up and said, "Excuse me, senior. I would like to ask you a question. If one's cultivation has reached the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining and is unable to make any further progress, under what circumstances would taking the Foundation Establishment Pill maximize the success rate?"
