A Five-Year-Old Ancestor Who Failed Her Tribulation Is Forced to Become the Principal of a Cultivation Academy

Zhou Anyu, a hot-tempered grandmaster who had lived for over a thousand years in the cultivation world, failed to transcend her tribulation and ascend.

It wasn’t that her cultivation was lacking. It was that she couldn’t keep her mouth shut.

She had endured eighty bolts of heavenly lightning, but the last one refused to strike. She looked up and cursed the Heavenly Dao for half an hour.

When that bolt finally came, it was thicker than a telephone pole.

It sent her straight from the cultivation world to... a hospital room.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become a five-year-old girl.

Heart disease, an orphanage, no money in her pockets, and no hair on her head, thanks to the lightning.

The one bright spot was that her cave abode had come with her, she still had Qi Refining cultivation, and she hadn’t lost her talent for cursing.

The downside was that a chatty System had appeared in her sea of consciousness, nagging her every day to open a “Cultivation Academy.”

System: Host! Let’s pick a site and build a school! We can exchange merit points for resources and ascend as soon as possible!

Zhou Anyu, age five, in a hospital gown with an IV in her arm: You want a little kid who hasn’t even started kindergarten to be a principal?

System: ...

Zhou Anyu: How am I supposed to recruit students? Am I meant to use this IV needle to poke their acupoints?

System: ...

Zhou Anyu: Or sell the pork rib soup my orphanage director makes as a spiritual medicine?

System, on the verge of collapse: Stop talking!!!

But a grandmaster is a grandmaster, after all.

Heart trouble? One Taiyi Heart-Stabilizing Pill will do the trick. (Though she has to dilute it with water and drink it for three days.)

Not enough spiritual energy? Meditate and scrape together what she can. (Even though the air outside is full of car exhaust.)

As for that useless System, she can leave it hanging for now.

The most important thing at the moment is figuring out how to secretly open a cultivation academy after leaving the hospital without being mistaken for a weird kid
