Literary Core

This question completely stumped young Xu Hengliang. His first reaction was to point at Jiang Wan and say:

"She's meddling. The little fatty already gave it to her, and she still wouldn't let go."

Jiang Wan put her hands on her hips and glared at him.

"I won't let go! It's wrong to snatch other people's things. If you try to snatch it again next time, I'll hit you again!"

Young Xu Hengliang was stunned. She dared to hit him?

He immediately pointed at the elder in front of him and said in a commanding tone:

"You, old man, you hit her."

Venerable Yu Yi frowned. This little brat was actually ordering him around.

"Hmph, you're the one who snatched the chicken leg first. I think this little girl was right to hit you. If you can't win, you should look for the reason within yourself. Have you been eating properly, cultivating properly, and have you been diligent enough?"

Jiang Wan felt like she had heard this before. Moreover, the old man was clearly helping her, so she immediately gave him a big smile.

"Grandpa, you're so right!"

Venerable Yu Yi, praised by his future disciple, laughed proudly.

"Hahaha, I think you're pretty good too, little girl. You took the initiative to protect your companion and you're fierce in a fight. That's great. Are you interested in becoming my disciple?"

Jiang Wan was shocked by the old man's discerning eye. Just as she was about to agree, she heard Xu Hengliang beside her say:

"Nyah nyah nyah, Jiang Wan is only fit to be a disciple of a stinky old man like this. Unlike my Master, my Master is a Spirit Transmutation Venerable!"

Jiang Wan: "Huh? You have a Master?"

[Your infamy precedes you, capable of frightening children into silence. Today, you unexpectedly learn that a child is actually being taught by a Master.
To further salvage your image, please find a Master.
Requirements: Master must be alive.
Mission Difficulty: Hell Mode.
Mission Reward: Literary Core.]

Young Xu Hengliang raised his chin, feeling smug.

"Of course! My Master is here. That person is my Master, a Spirit Transmutation Great Power!"

Jiang Wan was speechless. How many Nascent Soul cultivators were there in this cultivation world? This kid, relying on two Nascent Soul cultivators backing him up, was truly acting with impunity.

She saw the middle-aged man walking towards them and cupped his hands towards the elder.

"Greetings, Master."

Jiang Wan:...

She immediately cupped her hands towards the elder as well.

"Disciple greets Master!"

[Mastering successful. You, the supreme Heavenly Demon, are an enemy of the world, burdened by countless karmic debts and sins.
Your Master accepted your bow and survived, which must have been incredibly difficult, requiring you to once again suppress those karmic debts, sins, and the Great Dao with all your might.
Mission Complete.
Mission Reward: Literary Core.]

Literary Core: Essential for Confucian cultivators. According to cultivation level, words become law.

Jiang Wan was delighted. This was great!

Venerable Yichen, who had just arrived, was stunned. Master was already accepting disciples, without any further assessment?

Venerable Yu Yi, seeing how cooperative Jiang Wan was, was in a great mood.

"Good, good, good, my obedient disciple. Let me introduce you. This is your Senior Brother Yichen. His cultivation broke through to Nascent Soul just a few days ago."

Jiang Wan, going with the flow, sweetly called out to the person's Master.

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Venerable Yichen's mouth twitched wildly in his heart. His Junior Sister was a three-year-old child? She was too young, even younger than his own disciple.

Jiang Wan turned to young Xu Hengliang and called out.

"Martial Nephew!"

Young Xu Hengliang was dumbfounded. How did she become his Martial Aunt? He aggrievedly called out to his own Master, pointing at Jiang Wan to complain.

"Master, she was the one who hit me just now?"

Venerable Yichen, dressed in a light blue robe with a handsome, youthful face, found it difficult to step in and defend his disciple when faced with his complaint.

"Oh, you're definitely in the wrong here, but it takes two to clap. This,"

Jiang Wan immediately demonstrated for him.

"Senior Brother snatched our chicken legs first. See, one hand can clap too."

"Slap!"

With that, she slapped Xu Hengliang's butt.

Given Jiang Wan's height, she was half a head taller than him at six years old, making slapping his butt even more convenient.

Little Xu Hengliang's entire body instantly turned red.

"You dare, slap my butt?!"

Jiang Wan: "Good nephew, I was just showing Senior Brother that one hand can clap.

You snatched the chicken legs first, so apologize, and this matter will be over. You're still my good nephew. Remember to call me Auntie when you see me in the future!"

"Hahahaha, good, very good!"

Venerable Yu Yi stroked his beard and laughed heartily, saying to his disciple, Venerable Yichen, who was beside him:

"Disciple, look at this! This is the affection between generations!

You can rest assured and go into seclusion to cultivate from now on. I'll take care of your little disciple, your junior sister, and I guarantee I'll train her well."

Hearing his Master say this, Venerable Yichen could only helplessly leave behind a sentence:

"Cultivate well in the future." and turned to leave.

Little Xu Hengliang felt the world's malice and immediately chased after him.

"Master, Master, don't go, Master!"

Jiang Wan watched from the side, amused, and whispered, "Swallow, how can I live without you!"

Jiang Yao watched all of this from the side with cold eyes. What if she was a Nascent Soul cultivator? She only had a hundred years left to live.

Moreover, when the Secret Realm opened, she would push her into the Abyssal Demon. Back then, no matter how much her Master and Senior Brother doted on her, it would be fun to fight her later.

Venerable Yu Yi was in a great mood after accepting a disciple. He immediately said:

"I will announce this to the entire Guili Continent, letting everyone know that you are my disciple, hahahaha. I will also hold a grand ceremony to officially accept you as my disciple. Alright, you all play!"

Then, Spiritual Power flowed around Xu Hengliang, quietly mending his three broken ribs.

As soon as he left, everyone immediately surrounded Jiang Wan.

"Jiang Wan, you're so amazing! You've become a disciple of a Spirit Transmutation Venerable!"

"Jiang Wan, your fortune is truly great."

"That's a Spirit Transmutation Venerable, the strongest ceiling in our Guili Continent."

An older child scoffed.

"Hmph, you're all just little brats. Nascent Soul cultivators are only the strongest in our Guili Continent. Outside of our Guili Continent, there are Spirit Severing, Body Integration, Tribulation Crossing, and Mahayana stages. You don't know any of this, do you?

You're all frogs in a well!"

Jiang Wan was also shocked. What? Was this still the Cultivation World? Wasn't this the Spirit Realm?

Then, thinking of the Myriad Talisman Sect, which only had one Nascent Soul cultivator guarding it, she gasped. It was terrifyingly weak!

However, these things didn't concern her, a three-year-old child, for now. She still needed to eat and grow.

Jiang Yao watched the person who spoke walk away.

Xu Hengliang also left, and she immediately followed.

"Brother Xu, are you okay? My sister always hits hard. Are you alright?"

Xu Hengliang snorted with his nostrils in the air.

"Your sister?

What do you want? Do you want to tie me up and help your sister vent her anger?

Do you two sisters think I'm easy to bully? I can't beat her, but I can still beat you?"

Jiang Yao, with the shell of a three-year-old toddler, waved her small, watery eyes timidly.

"No, no, no. It hurt for a long time when she hit me last time. I thought it must hurt a lot for Brother Xu to be hit by her. I came to give you medicine."

Seeing the medicine in Jiang Yao's hand, Xu Hengliang snorted proudly and reached up to touch his face. It did hurt.
