Over the next few days, Lin Yitang focused on reinforcing her acupuncture technique, afraid of forgetting the feeling.

The challenges and sparring among the inner disciples continued. However, after discovering that no one could defeat Lin Yitang, the inner disciples were somewhat discouraged.

In addition to his notorious reputation, Lin Yitang gained another title within the inner sect—"Inner Sect Nightmare".

The reason for this title is that everyone who has been affected by Lin Yitang's magic will have the form of that spell constantly appearing in their minds for a period of time after returning to their cave, making it difficult for them to enter a state of cultivation.

Lin Yitang was actually dissatisfied with this.

What an awful name, "Inner Sect Nightmare"!

But there was nothing she could do.

In the world of cultivation, a person's title is often established gradually through word of mouth. When many people call someone by that name, it becomes their official title.

However, only a few powerful individuals possess titles, such as Li Feng. To possess a title means that one has truly become famous or made a name for oneself in a certain place or field.

Although Lin Yitang disliked the title and thought it sounded unpleasant, she had no choice but to accept it. Because in the Taique Sect, there were very few people who could receive such a title; you could count them on one hand.

For example, Mo Ziheng has a title—"Thunderous Sword Cultivator." Even Ye Qiuli, the female protagonist, hasn't received her own title yet.

Although Ye Qiuli was powerful, she had already advanced from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage when she received the title.

At least in this respect, Lin Yitang was one step ahead of the female lead.

In the second week of the inner sect's classes, the newly arrived senior cultivator began explaining matters related to training.

For the first three days, he taught Lin Yitang and the others how to identify dangerous and spiritual sites, as well as how to distinguish spiritual herbs and ores. On the fourth day, he actually took them to observe these sites firsthand!

Old Xiu set up a teleportation array in the classroom, teleporting Lin Yitang and the others to a certain place before explaining:

"This is a small secret realm controlled by the Taique Sect. There is no danger or demonic beasts here. This secret realm is mainly used for cultivating medicinal herbs. You can identify the types of spiritual herbs yourself. You can find all the common spiritual herbs here."

This was Lin Yitang's first time visiting a secret realm in the cultivation world, and she observed it very carefully.

This little secret realm is indeed not large, about several miles in length and width, rich in spiritual energy, surrounded by mountains and lush forests.

The secret realm is filled with spiritual flowers and herbs, many of which can be used for alchemy and medicine. Some can be used to refine Qi-Nourishing Pills, while others can be used to refine Yuan-Nourishing Pills.

Although there are many varieties, they are all quite ordinary. The small secret realm is not large, and the planted vegetation is not growing very well.

Because the other students avoided her in class, Lin Yitang simply stayed away from the crowd and ventured deep into the mountains alone.

However, when Lin Yitang arrived at a corner, she spotted a purple spiritual herb in the lush bushes in the distance, emitting a faint spiritual light, clearly not an ordinary herb.

When she saw the purple spiritual herb, her eyes widened in surprise.

Isn't this a purple cloud grass?

Not daring to keep it all to herself, she immediately summoned the old cultivator who taught the class and asked him to check if the herb was planted by the sect.

When Lao Xiu saw the Purple Cloud Grass, he immediately showed a shocked expression.

He strode over to the Purple Cloud Grass and examined it closely. Then his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "I never expected there to be a wild, hundred-year-old Purple Cloud Grass here! Because of its hidden location and the fact that its aura was mixed with other spiritual herbs, I hadn't discovered it at all."

"Purple Cloud Grass is one of the essential ingredients for refining Spirit Gathering Pills for Foundation Establishment cultivators, and it is extremely rare. Moreover, the older it is, the better its effects. Wild Purple Cloud Grass is even rarer and of even higher quality."

He looked around and noticed that the surrounding flowers and plants were not growing well. He suddenly realized, "No wonder the flowers and plants in the secret realm have been drooping lately. It's because of this Purple Cloud Grass. If it were an ordinary spiritual herb, it wouldn't be a problem, but this one has actually grown to be a hundred years old. It's really rare!"

When the other disciples in the classroom heard the old monk's voice, they all gathered around.

Their eyes lit up when they saw the century-old Purple Cloud Grass. This was a rare spiritual herb, priceless! It was a pity that this was a sect's secret realm, and it couldn't be picked at will. Otherwise, this one century-old Purple Cloud Grass would probably have sparked a fierce battle.

One of the disciples couldn't help but ask, "Uncle-Master, should we pick this Purple Cloud Grass? If so, I can help."

Old Xiu hurriedly stopped him: "Don't pick it! This is, after all, a secret realm of the Taique Sect. No one else will come to pick it. It's better to let it continue to grow and wait until it's a thousand years old before we do anything about it."

He went on to explain, "The effects of the Thousand-Year Purple Cloud Grass are far superior to those of the Hundred-Year Grass. Not only can it be used to refine better pills, but more importantly, it can replace one of the most important ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Heavenly Spirit Grass!"

"The Purple Cloud Grass is similar in effect to the Heavenly Spirit Grass, but its medicinal power is far inferior. However, if you have the Thousand-Year Purple Cloud Grass, you can make up for the lack of medicinal power of the Purple Cloud Grass, which is equivalent to having the top-grade Heavenly Spirit Grass."

"Moreover, the properties of Purple Cloud Grass are actually more suitable for refining Foundation Establishment Pills. The probability of refining Foundation Establishment Pills from Thousand-Year Purple Cloud Grass is even higher than that from Heavenly Spirit Grass! This is the experience summarized by many alchemists."

"Unfortunately, the Thousand-Year Purple Cloud Grass is even rarer than the Heavenly Spirit Grass. Rather than using the Thousand-Year Purple Cloud Grass, it would be better to find the Heavenly Spirit Grass."

Upon hearing this, the disciples had no choice but to give up and continue to admire the century-old Purple Cloud Grass, feasting their eyes on it.

Although Lin Yitang was also interested in the Purple Cloud Grass, her attention was more drawn to Lao Xiu's words.

She asked in surprise, "Uncle-Master, can the Thousand-Year Purple Cloud Grass really be used to refine Foundation Establishment Pills? Why didn't I see it in the 'Complete Book of Spiritual Herbs'?"

Old Xiu smiled slightly and explained, "Knowledge in this area involves the formula for Foundation Establishment Pills and experience in alchemy. Of course, the formula for Foundation Establishment Pills cannot be made public at will, so it's normal that people in the market don't know about it. As for alchemy experience, only a few alchemists know about it. This is the domain of alchemists, so naturally it's not included in the 'Complete Collection of Spiritual Herbs'."

Lin Yitang then asked, "If we want to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, besides the Heavenly Spirit Grass, are there any other precious herbs?"

Old Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Only the Heavenly Rhyme Grass is relatively rare. However, the Heavenly Rhyme Grass is not as precious as the Heavenly Spirit Grass; it can at least be bought on the market. Therefore, the most difficult to obtain is still the Heavenly Spirit Grass, because it simply doesn't exist on the market."

"As for other spiritual herbs, they can all be bought in the cultivation market, some more expensive and some cheaper, so there's no need to elaborate. Therefore, as long as you have Heavenly Spirit Grass or Thousand-Year Purple Cloud Grass, you can refine Foundation Establishment Pills."

Lin Yitang was surprised again. She had the Thousand-Year Purple Cloud Grass, and she also had the Heavenly Rhyme Grass!

The top three winners of the previous Inner Disciple Competition received a Thousand-Year Celestial Rhyme Grass, which is also an important material for refining Foundation Establishment Pills!

Suddenly, Lin Yitang's eyes lit up incredibly.
