Slowly, Qin Mei woke, only to be spooked by the face of an old man

Sh*t, who even is this guy?

She felt a increasingly annoyed as she looked at the face full of wrinkles

It was certainly a disgusting sight to wake up too

Unbeknownst to her however, in Qin Zhou's eyes, he saw something different

"What!?"

The moment Qin Mei looked at him, his surroundings immediately dissolved into a battle field

How vast was it? He couldn't comphrehend

This battlefield than began to change.

An instance later, an ever so faniliar scene appeared within his mind

A handsome young man wearing a black dragon robe appeared before him

"This... isn't this the time where I lost to the Wu kingdom's supreme ancestor?", Qin Zhou's mind was confused

They had fought in a comptetion for a treasure, but yet he was brutally defeated, leaving a scar on him for life

How did he appear here?

What was strange was that he could feel some force trying to rile up his emotions

With each passing moment, the desire for revenge grew stronger and stronger

He was far stronger than he was then..

Was this his chance of revenge?

"No, what am I doing!", Qin Zhou slapped his face

Looking at the baby before him, he started sweating profusely

Wasn't this too extreme? How can a purple spirit realm place him in an illusion?

He didn't know how many realms he was above her, yet he still was affected

Back to Qin Mei's view, she was confused as to why the old man before her randomly froze in place

[He was affected by your innate passive technique]

"Oh it's you again", Qin Mei wasn't exactly sure what it was, but since it had saved her, it could atleast be trusted

Thinking back, she did hear something about about a technique

Qin Mei still wanted to know what this technique of hers did, "So, what does this technique do?"

[It puts people in an illusion in which they come back to their most painful defeat]

Interesting..

"Shocking.. truly shocking,", at this moment the old man Qin Zhou still stared at the baby in disbelief

It seemed this illusion effect only worked once

Even so, what kind of monster was this?

As expected of a descendant from the immortal realm!

Qin Mei felt weirded out by the look Qin Zhou was giving her

This old man truly is too ugly.. when will he get out of my sight? Qin Mei wondered to herself

Qin Zhou noticed the look of disgust on the babies face, and felt slightly offended

Though, it was just a baby, so he didn't take it to heart

They'll be familiar with eachother as it grew

But, Qin Zhou realized something

He couldn't be there waching over her all of the time, as he would age faster

Qin Zhou needed a servant take care of her on his behalf

And so, under Qin Mei's gaze, he left the room to go grab a servant

Seeing this, Qin Mei was relieved, "finally that old man was gone, something really off about him"

Perhaps he had a hidden motive? Qin Mei didn't know

Looking back, the only man had talked about a purple spirit realm

"Parasite, whats a purple sprit?", Qin Mei turned to the system of hers to clear her doubts

[It's the fourth realm of cultivation]

"Whats a cultivation?"

[The process of becoming stronger]

Hmm.. the idea of getting stronger sounded pretty nice to her

"Alright, so can I cultivate now?", this was the answer Qin Mei really wanted to know

[No, you're body is too young, but you may strengthen you're body]

Though she didn't receive the answer she wanted, atleast she could still strengthenherself, "How can I do that?"

As Qin Mei asked that question, she felt a stream of information being set to her head

It was a technique called the imperial body refinement technique

"Pretty imposing name, I hope it's as good as it sounds", she thought to herself

A technique with the name "imperial" should be pretty strong, right?

If not, that title should be removed from it's name

Going through the technique in her head, Qin Mei learned that she had to form a void within her body using the qi within the air

It also told her that the first hurdle was actually sensing the qi

Therefor, she closed her eyes and tried to sense it, and she "saw" little orbs of white light

Was this qi?

Didn't it say that there was a hurdle in sensing it?

Ignoring that, Qin Mei "grabbed" the qi, and pulled it into her dantian before putting it into a special loop forming a black hole like structure

She then connected the loop to all parts of her body

A couple of minutes later, she was finished

Phew!

Qin Mei was a little exhausted, "Such a simple task yet it cost me so much energy!"

This was pretty tiring..

However, the fruits of her efforts weren't useless as she could feel the surrounding qi being sucked within her body and being distributed

Qin Mei then felt a little groggy, it seemed as if she could fall asleep at any moment

She didn't resist the feeling and quickly fell asleep

All that remained in the room was Qin Mei's quiet breathing
