Sword cultivator? Although wielding a sword is cool, with her uncoordinated hands and feet, she can't possibly do it!
As for alchemy, it involves memorizing a lot of things, and she had no interest in making pills. She had already taken so many medications to treat her cancer; if she tried alchemy again, she was afraid she would throw up on the spot.
Repairing tools? Although she has good hands-on skills, she's too lazy to do it herself, and she's not good at math, physics, or chemistry.
Fu Xiu, all she can do is scribble talismans...
Let's choose the simplest one. After all, she came into this world to live a healthy life, to be able to jump and hop freely. Having a healthy body is her biggest wish.
Very good, let's go with body cultivation!
"Sect Master, I want to cultivate body cultivation!" Nian Wanzhou clenched her little fist and raised it, her lower lip covering her upper lip, a particularly determined and passionate child.
"What...?? Body cultivator??" The sect leader was so shocked that he stood up abruptly.
Yuheng: ∑(?Д?)
Several elders: ? ? What did you say? Think it through and say it again?
"Well, kid, why don't you think about it again? Just kidding, don't waste your talent, haha." The Third Elder said with an awkward but polite smile.
"Well... that's right, think about it some more. Look how powerful sword cultivators are. Slaying demons and monsters, uh, no, I mean, eliminating evil and promoting justice is great." The Fourth Elder also chimed in with his advice.
Second Elder: "You can also choose to cultivate array formations, talismanic arts, medicine, those are all possible, body cultivation..."
Fifth Elder: ...The little girl has quite a few ideas, but I don't want to speak up.
The Grand Elder happily raised both hands: "I agree! After all, she has an earth-based physique and is a member of the dragon clan, making her most suitable for body cultivation! She is especially suited to be taught by me!"
Yuheng: Damn it! Why did he have to become a sword cultivator?! Couldn't he be like my senior brother, cultivating both sword and body?! Waaah, my dear daughter is going to be kidnapped by my senior brother, and I can't even say a word.
Other elders: Body cultivation is just about training your body to be a meat shield! Dragons already have thick skin and flesh, why bother with body cultivation! Aren't sword cultivation, alchemy cultivation, medical cultivation, and formation cultivation much better? Waaah... You have a perfectly good immortal spirit body, why are you cultivating body cultivation!
Body cultivation is also a type of cultivator, just a relatively common one. In this continent, sword cultivation, talisman cultivation, and alchemy cultivation are the most noble, and more people choose these because they deal high damage or are easy to make money from.
They will receive greater respect.
The biggest advantage of body cultivation is that it doesn't cost any money. As long as you train your body to the point where you have thick skin and flesh, you don't have to be afraid of being beaten up.
However, body cultivators lack offensive capabilities; they can only run at the front and take hits, and then they're looked down upon...
All the elders felt that Nian Wanzhou's choice of cultivation system was a complete waste of her innate talent as a celestial being!
The Celestial Body is a once-in-ten-thousand-year phenomenon, and it's not something anyone can cultivate. Moreover, only those with exceptionally high talent can succeed in achieving this level of ability.
What's wrong with this silly child?!
"Kid, why don't you reconsider?" The sect leader was also troubled and quickly came to Nian Wanzhou, intending to persuade the child.
But the child would hide whenever he saw him, he was very shy.
The sect leader could only coax her carefully: "That's right, body cultivation involves a lot of hardship, you know. Why don't you switch to another one? Look, your uncle is a sword cultivator, and he looks so impressive when he wields a longsword!"
Having said that, he drew his natal sword, a long sword that gleamed red and was exceptionally beautiful, and began to wield it.
Several elders: ...Sect Master, we're still in the main hall. Can we please stop showing off in this cramped space? We're still here.
However, those present had not seen the sect leader's natal magic weapon for a thousand years. Now that they saw it again, even though it was being used to coax children, it still felt as familiar as ever!
It's a gentle (and funny) swordplay that makes people...want to laugh.
"I... I still choose body cultivation! That sword looks so dangerous..." Nian Wanzhou was even more frightened when she saw the sword being wielded. She was afraid that if she wasn't careful, the light from the sword would scrape off a piece of her flesh.
It seemed like no one else could see it, but she was the only one who saw the light scattering and actually coming right in front of her...
"Uh, this..." The sect leader was a little embarrassed. He hadn't even had a chance to play with his precious sword properly, and now it was ruined by just one sentence?
He looked at the three elders beside him: "This..."
"Ahem, Sect Master, please put the sword away! This sword is indeed dangerous; it's best not to show it off." The Third Elder quickly came to the rescue, as he was also afraid that the sword would tear the robe he had just finished making.
Sect Leader: ...Actually, you're just jealous that I have a nice sword. Don't think I don't know!
Nian Wanzhou: ......
The sect leader still wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't just give up and throw everything away. So he decided to appease the child for now.
Maybe one day she'll come to her senses and choose something else. After all, the child is still young, and we can't rush things.
"Alright, let's go through the final test first and see how talented we are. It would be best if we tried everything!" Even so, the sect leader did not intend to let Nian Wanzhou only pass the physical cultivation test.
The test for physical cultivation is too simple. As long as you can take a beating all the way and withstand one move from a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, you're done.
That's not enough! We need to have Nian Wanzhou test her skills in sword cultivation, alchemy, and other areas. We can't waste her immortal spirit body!
"Yes, Sect Master." Nian Wanzhou nodded obediently, her eyes full of anticipation. Finally, she had a chance to get rid of these terrifying adults!
If she could, she would like to choose the elder who supported her choice of body cultivation to teach him, because he is a very kind person.
Everyone opposed her choice, except for the Grand Elder, who supported her. Moreover, the Grand Elder possessed a gentle and warm aura that she liked very much—a kind of approachable warmth that made people want to get closer.
Even more so than his adoptive father, who was also from the same clan, he exuded a more familiar dragon aura.
"Let's go then!"
They also wanted to see what kind of talent this once-in-a-millennium immortal body possessed.
As the elders walked out, they kept turning back to look at Nian Wanzhou, their gazes seeming to say: "Little one, we believe in you! Keep it up!"
Nian Wanzhou: ......
Nian Wanzhou jumped down from Yuheng's arms, then, with her short legs, followed their pace, looking anxious and uneasy.
Nan Yu, with an innocent and naive face, followed behind.
Nian Wanzhou was quite excited along the way. She had lived in the city since she was a child, and because of her cancer, she had not had many opportunities to go out and see the world.
Not only are their studies demanding, but they also have to attend tutoring classes during summer vacation, leaving them with very few opportunities to go out and have fun.
However, her parents, feeling sorry for her being so sensible, took her to visit cities like the capital and the seaside.
Therefore, her worldview is very simple.
Walking along the road, I was attracted by all kinds of scenery, and occasionally I saw others flying on swords, which was really cool!
The world of cultivation is truly amazing!
She couldn't wait to explore it properly.
