The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

Chapter 528: Past Life Extra Story Six_1
 

The next day, Jiang Sanlang brought his little daughter Yingbao to the Baisheng Treasure Pavilion to meet the immortal Master Wang.

But his daughter was not the only one who came to the Treasure Pavilion to seek apprenticeship; there were also a dozen other children.

Among these children, the oldest were about ten years old and the youngest five or six years old, all of them having ties with the immortal realm.

Jiang Sanlang felt a little anxious upon seeing this, because the owner of the Treasure Pavilion only accepted two disciples, and now there were fifteen seeking apprenticeship.

After a while, several servants came out, guiding all the children into the courtyard for assessment.

Yingbao bid her father goodbye and followed the servants to a garden with her little short legs.

The garden was lush with trees and had many fruit trees; Yingbao initially drooled over the fruits, but after staring at them for a while, she realized they were fake.

Confused, Yingbao touched a fake tree with her small hand and found it had texture.

Blinking, she climbed up a medium-sized tree and plucked a fruit.

Only when she held the fruit in her hand did she realize it was made of mud.

Curious, she wanted to pick up another one to take a look, but suddenly the tree collapsed and she fell to the ground, landing on her butt.

“Hahaha!” A burst of laughter came from behind. Yingbao turned her head and saw a five-year-old boy wearing a golden crown, pointing at her and laughing, “So stupid!”

Yingbao clenched her butt, stood up from the ground, brushed off the dirt from her body, and retorted, “You’re the stupid one!”

The boy wearing the golden crown snorted, walked over to her, and said, “You must still be drinking your mother’s milk. I don’t want a child like you as a companion.”

Yingbao frowned and seriously said, “I’m here to learn magic, not to be your companion.”

The boy looked somewhat displeased, crossing his arms and said, “Isn’t coming here just to be my study companion? How dare you deny it?”

Yingbao opened her mouth in surprise, “But Daddy said I came here to find a master.”

With a hum, the boy looked Yingbao up and down and said with a disgusted face, “My mother doesn’t accept girls as young as you as disciples.”

Yingbao blinked, said “Oh,” then turned and walked away.

Seeing her leave, the boy took a step forward and stopped her. “Hey! I haven’t finished yet.”

“Then say it quickly.” Since they didn’t want her as an apprentice, she’d just go to the academy to learn to read and write, and learn magic herself later.

The boy frowned, “Even if my mother doesn’t accept you, you can still take me as your master.”

Yingbao widened her eyes, “Take you as my master?”

“Yes.” He lifted his chin and said, “I have already reached the third level of qi cultivation, so I can be your master.”

Yingbao contemplated for a while, but reluctantly nodded, “Alright.”

A smile immediately spread across the boy’s face. He patted her on the shoulder, “Then call me master.”

Yingbao: “Master.”

A bigger smile appeared on the boy’s face. He took out an amulet from the storage bag around his waist and stuffed it into Yingbao’s hand, “Here, this is a welcome gift from your master.”

Yingbao took the amulet and examined it. She asked, “What is this?”

“It’s an amulet that can automatically block a Nascent Soul attack once.” The boy boasted, “As long as you cultivate well, in the future, I will give you more treasures.”

“Can mortals use it?” Yingbao asked.

The boy: “Of course.”

Yingbao’s eyes brightened: “Thank you, master.”

After thinking for a moment, she took out two fruits from her own storage bag and handed them to him, “This is my apprentice’s gift to the master.”

The boy’s smile widened as he touched Yingbao’s head, “What a good disciple.”

Not far away, Wang Jin saw this scene, twitched the corners of her mouth, turned to the steward, and said, “Keep this child.” She originally planned to find two child companions for her son so they could grow up together, so by chance if she failed to survive tribulations, her son wouldn’t be alone.

But now her son surprisingly found a tiny apprentice and even gave the girl a welcome gift, which was truly both ridiculous and funny.

The steward agreed and asked, “Shall we keep the other two as well?”

Wang Jin nodded, “Keep them too. Arrange a dedicated person to take care of their daily lives and let the four of them live in the same yard.”

“Yes,” the steward obeyed and left.

From this day on, Yingbao stayed in the Wang Family, learning to read and write every day, as well as some spells.

Wang Jin examined Yingbao’s fit with the immortal path and found that her spiritual roots were peculiar. They weren’t like the usual combination of water and fire spiritual roots, yet she could display both water and fire spells.

Wang Jin didn’t know which mental method to teach her presently, so she decided to wait until Yingbao turned five before testing again.

After all, most children only reveal their spiritual roots when they turn five. Wang Jin thought that perhaps Yingbao’s spiritual roots were indistinct because she was too young.

One day, a group of cultivators who claimed to be from the Chen Family of Vermilion Bird City, came to the gate of the Treasure Pavilion, wanting to negotiate with the Pavilion owner.
