The Ten Thousand Ways to Hug the Female Protagonist’s Thigh - Chapter 18.1

Whether it was being a first-rank talisman master or a first-rank alchemist, either identity alone might not be particularly remarkable in the cultivation world. However, when both talents appeared in a single young girl, it was enough to draw the attention of thousands!

Becoming a talisman master or an alchemist required an exceptionally high spiritual sense. To master both was nearly impossible!

Yet, Wen Xuening had done it.

As a disciple with extraordinary spiritual sense, even in a small place like Nanyang, let alone the Eastern Continent or the Central Continent, she would be treated as a core disciple by any significant force and nurtured with utmost care!

Especially since Wen Xuening was so young! At thirteen, she had already achieved what most cultivators could never dream of—mastering talisman crafting and alchemy and effortlessly producing top-grade first-rank pills and talismans.

Li Yusheng gulped, swallowing hard, as a sense of impending doom washed over him. “If I don’t act soon, I might face catastrophic consequences,” he thought.

Facing a prodigy with limitless potential, if he couldn’t ensure her demise with a single strike, the only option was to befriend her. Under no circumstances should he make an enemy of her!

How laughable that he had been scheming to seize the Wen family’s assets. Now that the Wen family had a prodigy like Wen Xuening, once she joined a superpower and became a core disciple, the Li family would be nothing more than a clown in comparison!

His mind raced.

On the surface, Li Yusheng quickly changed his attitude and cautiously said, “The young lady speaks wisely. This time, it was my Li family’s mistake. How about I offer my sincerest apologies?”

Wen Xuening, however, wasn’t buying it. With a stern expression, she replied, “You falsely accused my Wen family, nearly ruining our reputation. A simple apology isn’t enough.”

Li Yusheng hurriedly responded, “Of course, it’s not enough. I’ll return this afternoon with generous gifts to make amends. At that time, feel free to make any additional requests!”

“You must also go to the authorities and withdraw your false accusations, admitting that you framed us!” Wen Ling added angrily, puffing her cheeks. In her eyes, this was all part of her father and the clan leader’s plan to deal with the enemy.

“That’s doable, that’s doable,” Li Yusheng agreed.

After the Li family left in disgrace, the other members of the Wen family were still in shock. While the Li family was present, they maintained a composed demeanor, acting as if everything was under control. But once the outsiders were gone, they relaxed, looking at Wen Xuening with disbelief.

“You’re an alchemist!”

“You’re also an alchemist?”

A clan elder and the clan leader asked simultaneously, then exchanged glances.

“Also?”

Facing the elder’s probing gaze, the clan leader looked somewhat aggrieved. “I didn’t intentionally hide it. I only knew about Ning’er’s talent in talisman crafting. She didn’t want to reveal it, so after discussing it with a few others, we quietly made her a family elder. I had no idea she also had talent in alchemy.”

“Heaven bless the Wen family!” one of the elders exclaimed, tears streaming down his face. No one asked Wen Xuening why she had hidden her talents or where she had learned her skills. The fact that she was willing to expose her secrets in front of the Li family to protect the Wen family was proof of her loyalty.
