Two girls are sitting with lotus position facing each other on a grassy area in a glade, the morning sun directly warming their body. Their breath is synchronized with Qi’s flow in nature while close their eyes to enhance their Qi perception.

An ordinary sunny day for Yan and Rin to cultivate wholeheartedly — try to improve themselves. Rin who still inflexible slowly become better to follow Yan’s breathing rhythm and trying to suck as many Qi as she can. Even though her talent isn't comparable with Yan, but with many guidance from three people of her family makes her progress above average talented cultivators.

On the other hand, Yan trying to calm the Qi inside her body, her progress is unbelievably fast, she can make Qi flowing naturally from meridian to meridian. Advice from Vys naturally contributed to her cultivation rate but without her natural talent, it’s impossible for her to achieve this level.

Hours passed, the stream of Qi in her meridians become more and more tranquil, more than third of it become as natural as she breathes. Things that ordinary cultivators need many months to achieve, she did it in mere hours.

“Puaah,” An exhausted voice can be heard from across her.

She opens her eyes and sees Rin sweaty appearance. From her trembling pupil and aberrant breath, she knows that Rin already reaches her limit today. She's looking at the sun which already rising near the top of their heads.

“Do you want to call it a day?”

“Yes, p, please,” Rin says while trying to catch her breath.

“Okay then, we’ll take a rest here first and then go to take a bath at home later.”

Hearing her words, Rin nod and try to breathe more slowly. After a while, she can calm her breath but still feel exhausted. Realize that they will be here for a while she asks Yan to tell her a story to pass their time.

“Story? What kind of story?” Yan says, after hearing Rin’s request.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

“Um, I don’t know,” Rin gets silent while push her index finger to her eyebrows, “Ah, I know, why you are can be this strong big sis?”

Hearing her question she smile awkwardly, “I’m strong? Didn’t I just lose to Vys yesterday.”

“But big brother says that big sis is very strong for your age.”

After hearing her remarks, she laughed heartily as though just hearing a funny joke, “You must know that enemies won’t always in the same age, heck they maybe will come from older generations. Even though I can be considered strong, I can assure there are stronger people than me around my age.”

“Eh, you mean big brother, right?”

“Nope, well he is, but he isn't whom I mean,” she says with a smug face.

She remembers a sharp sounding boy from behind a wall, a 'senior' of her kind — her first friend.

“This is an Allergy, did you go to the forest and then touch strange plants or animals right?” after looking at a kid’s rash and hearing at his cough, Vys put down his stethoscope.

“Yes, that’s right. I find a strange flower in the forest where I play. Is it dangerous doc?”

“Fortunately, no. As long you don’t go near that plant again it’ll be fine,” he comforts him.

“Really? Thank you doc,” he’s beaming after hearing Vys’ words.

After the kids say a thank you, he’s hopping towards his father outside with little hum. His father nods down to Vys with a smile, sign of thanks which then he replies with a light nod too.

When he looking outside the window, he realizes that it is already noon. Today patients aren't as much as usual, but it is better for him than some virus outbreak that will give him more headache.

“Dana, call next patients please.”

“Okay,” Dana walks outside while looking at two last people waiting in the lobby— a boy and a girl, both of them have white hairs. The girl is sitting in a wheelchair with closed eyes, there no sign of sleeping from her, so Dana sure that she's awake. She gives a calm aura that makes people want to go near her.

The boy, on the other hand, gives a peculiar vibe, like Vys sister — Yan. Even Dana’s keen perception can’t even perceive emitted Qi from this boy body — his body like a limitless hole that absorbs Qi and won't let anything get out. The feeling he gives is like Vys when he activates his bloodline to cultivate — a perfect cultivation.

Even though he appears a little scary, a patient still a patient and it’s not a first-time Vys diagnose a talented cultivator.

Dana let out a professional smile and says, “Both of you are the last patient here, um, sorry what’s your name again.”

The boy put out a polite smile and answer his question.

“Fenbalar Issrill, that’s his name,” Yan telling Rin who sit listening to her words.
