When Jiang Wan saw that it was recognizing her as its master with a drop of blood, the turtle finally closed its eyes and passed away in peace.
Jiang Wan thought of the Black Tortoise. She wondered whether it was the same as a turtle. She might as well give it a try!
She pricked her finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the egg. It was actually absorbed?
[ Ding! You searched through the Myriad Worlds and countless living beings to find the last remaining trace of the Black Tortoise Bloodline. You must have gone through untold hardships. Now that you have formed a Spirit Beast Contract with the ancient Divine Beast Black Tortoise, the mission is complete. ] [ Mission reward: Great Dao Sword Intent ]
As the system's words fell, the Great Dao Sword Intent entered her body. She closed her eyes, as if she had been placed amid ten thousand swords. Those swords gathered into a Great Dao Sword Intent capable of cleaving the heavens apart, condensing around her as its sword intent shot straight into the sky.
Meanwhile, within the Myriad Talisman Sect, Sect Master Leng Feng stood grim-faced in Jiang Wan's courtyard. His white Daoist robe was embroidered with intricate golden talisman patterns, making him seem mysterious and profound, his bearing imposing and majestic.
"Where is she?
Didn't you say she beat Yaoyao unconscious? Why is she nowhere to be found now?"
The two maidservants knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.
"Reporting to Sect Master, this disciple did not see Miss. Perhaps... perhaps she ran off to play."
After one maidservant finished speaking, the other hurriedly added,
"Reporting to Sect Master, perhaps Miss knew she had made a mistake and hid herself away. This servant has been unable to find her for the moment."
Sect Master Leng Feng glanced at the two maidservants, and his gaze darkened.
"If Wanwan cannot be found today, neither of you need remain in my Myriad Talisman Sect."
The two maids were so frightened that they trembled on their knees, not daring to rise as they repeatedly begged for mercy.
Outside the courtyard, Madam Li felt uneasy. After forcing herself to remain calm, she spoke to True Lord Leng Feng.
"Sect Master, Yaoyao has awakened. She said she wishes to see you. Please do not blame Miss Wanwan. I... I have not come too late, have I?
Sect Master, please do not blame Wanwan. Wanwan was born with great strength, and besides, children having no sense of restraint is perfectly normal."
True Lord Leng Feng frowned at her.
"Enough. Take me to see Yaoyao first. Hmm?"
At that moment, Jiang Wan's Great Dao Sword Intent erupted into the sky from the back mountain of the talisman sect, causing no small commotion.
True Lord Leng Feng had only taken two steps when he vanished from the spot. Such a major disturbance had occurred within the sect, so naturally he had to investigate.
With such powerful sword intent, either some mighty senior had comprehended the Sword Dao, or an unrivaled treasured sword was about to be born.
Jiang Wan stretched her body. When she saw that even the blisters rubbed onto her hands had healed, she could not help grinning.
"I didn't expect the Great Dao Sword Intent to have such a use.
But there's one problem—it can't get me up there!
How am I supposed to leave this place?"
Now that the egg had become her Contract Spirit Beast, she could no longer eat it. Her little belly was so hungry it was practically pressed against her back. How miserable.
She had never heard of a cultivator starving to death, though she was not yet a cultivator herself.
Right, now was the perfect time to perform Qi Induction while no one was around to disturb her.
With that thought, she quickly sat cross-legged and began Qi Induction.
Looking at the five-colored spiritual lights around her, she used her thoughts to guide them into her body. This time, without Madam Li's interruption, she truly succeeded in Qi Induction.
[ New mission: You slaughtered the Myriad Talisman Sect, leaving your father, who made you sect master, heartbroken beyond measure. Though you spared his life, you crippled his cultivation, forcing him to experience birth, aging, illness, and death like a mortal. Now that his days are numbered, please make him smile at you with fatherly affection once more. Mission difficulty: Supreme. ]
Jiang Wan wrinkled her little nose. If this mission had to be completed five hundred years later, then its difficulty truly was supreme—ridiculously, unbelievably high.
But how was she supposed to meet that old father of hers?
Just as she was thinking about it, someone suddenly descended from the sky. His face was like carved jade, gentle and handsome; his hair was bound by a golden crown, black locks cascading like a waterfall. The golden, enigmatic talisman patterns on his Magic Robe radiated dignity and grandeur.
Ah, speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived. Wasn't this her biological father, the sect master of the Myriad Talisman Sect?
Compared to the system's description... forget it, System Bro was invincible.
"Daddy, did Daddy come to save Wanwan?
Wuwuwu, Wanwan was so scared!"
True Lord Leng Feng had not expected to find his newly recovered daughter here. Seeing her toddle toward him on her short little legs, crying pitifully, he scooped her up in one arm.
"Wanwan, don't be afraid. Tell me, how did you end up here?"
Wanwan had no intention of letting Madam Li off. She immediately complained.
"It was... Foster Mother said Wanwan hurt Yaoyao. Then she carried Wanwan here and threw Wanwan down. Luckily, a big turtle saved Wanwan, or Wanwan would have fallen to her death!
Wanwan just found her biological father and Mother. Wanwan doesn't want to die!"
True Lord Leng Feng held his daughter, whom he had lost and regained, close to him. A grave look flashed through his eyes.
"Madam Li really did this?
She dared to do such a thing? Come, I'll take you back and punish her severely.
Jiang Wan's little arms, plump as lotus roots, clung to her biological father's arm, afraid that she might fall.
"Okay, Daddy is so nice!"
Sect Master Leng Feng smiled at his daughter affectionately.
Then he realized that she had actually succeeded in Qi Induction. Overjoyed, he burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha! My Wanwan is truly remarkable. You have already completed Qi Induction and become a little cultivator at the First Layer of Qi Refining! Ha ha ha! Your father is exceedingly pleased. Come, I'll take you up now."
[ Ding! To make your aged father, whose heart was filled with resentment and who wished to kill you with his own hands, smile at you with fatherly affection, you must have exhausted every scheme and moved heaven with your filial devotion. Mission complete. Mission reward: Fortune Gazing Technique. ]
Jiang Wan only felt her vision clear. When she raised her head to look at the top of her father's head, she saw a cluster of blue qi there, like a tiny flickering flame.
Everyone's fortune was divided into seven grades: 1, white; 2, red; 3, yellow; 4, green; 5, cyan; 6, blue; and 7, purple. The higher the grade, the stronger one's fortune.
Her father's fortune was only one step below purple. Clearly, it was exceptionally good.
Sect Master Leng Feng was about to take Wanwan up when he suddenly remembered something. His divine sense spread through the bottom of the valley once more.
Strange. There was only the corpse of the sect-protecting Divine Beast here. Why was there no trace of that Great Dao Sword Qi?
He knew that the sect-protecting Divine Beast was going to sit and pass away in the coming days, but he had never imagined that Wanwan would be here as well.
"Wanwan, did you see anyone else here?"
Jiang Wan shook her little head, making her two little hair buns loosen even further.
"Wanwan didn't see anyone else!"
Sect Master Leng Feng was puzzled. The Great Dao Sword Intent he had seen earlier had clearly come from here. How could there be nothing?
As he pondered, he carried his daughter back up, only to hear someone beside him report,
"The Sword Sect's sect master has arrived with the young master of their Sword Sect to offer congratulations on Sect Master recovering his direct bloodline."
When Leng Feng heard that the Sword Sect's sect master had come, he nodded. So it must have been the Sword Sect's work. He wondered when the Sword Sect had produced such a genius.
"Come, I'll go meet the Sword Sect's sect master."
After saying that, he walked away with his little daughter still in his arms.
Jiang Wan had just obtained the Fortune Gazing Technique and curiously looked at the disciple who had come to report.
She saw a cluster of green fortune light above his head, green in a fresh and refined way. He was considered fourth grade!
Hey, why was her father taking her along? Was he planning to bring her too?
Then her handsome father whispered to her,
"Be good, Wanwan. Daddy will take you to meet the guests first. I'll have Jing He take your Foster Mother to Meditation Cliff. After we finish meeting the guests, we'll interrogate her properly. All right?"
Jiang Wan thought, Biological Father, you really are protective of your own.
"Okay, okay. Let Foster Mother go to Meditation Cliff and reflect!"
"Ha ha ha! My Wanwan is truly adorable."
The two little hair buns on Jiang Wan's head were thoroughly mussed up by his rubbing. Oh no, she must look like a little wild child now.
She pouted resentfully and glared at him, her voice soft and milky, yet full of helplessness.
"Daddy, Wanwan's hair is all messy. How can Wanwan meet the guests later?!"
Sect Master Leng Feng looked his daughter over and found her adorable, but he still reached out and brushed a hand over her hair. Her two little hair buns immediately returned to normal.
Jiang Wan touched her head in surprise. It was really fixed. Cultivation was simply too amazing.
