You Really Are Abnormal

Xun Ying opened her eyes. Looking at herself, she frowned. Her clothes had been ruined when the impurities were expelled from her body.

Lin Huan nodded at Xun Ying, acknowledging that Xun Ying has gotten her elements. 

She points at Xun Ying and casts a cleansing spell.

The impurities have been washed away and Xun Ying's robes have been changed in a mere second.

Xun Ying's skin glowed after the cleansing, while she felt refreshingly light. Her robe has been replaced by a pale yellow one, similar to the one that Lin Huan is wearing.

"Qihai is the lower Dantian located below the navel. Yintian is the upper Dantian located in your forehead while Tanzhong, the middle Dantian, is located in the middle of your chest. Qihai stores the primary qi while Yintian contains your spirit. Tanzhong is used as a cauldron to refine Qi into the spirit."

Lin Huan said as she pointed at where each Dantian is located in Xun Ying's body as she spoke.

"Good job on following your instinct. When you guide the Qi through the meridians, it is called Qi Circulation, the first stage of refining your body. Connect the points in your body through the meridians."

Xun Ying did as instructed, circulating the Qi in her body. It wasn't hard nor painful, instead it sends warmth throughout her body, in fact, it was even a bit comfortable.

"Be sure not to advance too fast, the key is to make your foundation sturdy."

Xun Ying opens her eyes. What she definitely has was time, so she would definitely be able to do so. Besides, it felt comfortable.

"There will be times that you will face bottlenecks, just look around. Your instincts and your elements will help you. As for the cultivation manual… you don't need it, do you? I'm sure you have hidden cards up your sleeves."

Lin Huan smiles, "And you also have Baobao and your family."

"Now for questions, I'll allow you to ask 3."

Xun Ying ponders for a bit.

"Why am I pulled into this world or in other words the purpose of me being here? Why is Baobao bonded to me? And lastly, will I be able to live my life as a salted fish." Xun Ying said seriously.

"For the first two questions, my answer is time will tell. You will find out who you are, and who Baobao is as you continue your journey."

"...that doesn't answer my question at all. It's the same as not asking."

Lin Huan ignores Xun Ying's response and her stare as she continues.

"As for the last question, what do you think? I think you have an answer yourself, I don't need to answer it do I? It all depends on you."

"..."

[It's the same as not asking at all!!! *flips imaginary table*]

"I cannot maintain this form any longer. If you wish to ask me something, send Baobao to me, he knows where to find me. But only do so in an emergency. Ah Ying, come find me when you reached the Nascent Soul stage. By the way, I already put a spell on you to cover your Qi, the spell would eventually be broken when you are 5. Farewell."

As soon as Lin Huan finished, her figure broke into tiny fragments of light and vanished, as the leaves that formed scattered in different directions in a swirl. 

"..."

Xun Ying then found herself in the alley. The place where it leads to the forest vanishes, in it's a place is a wall. Everything was in place except for her robes. If it weren't for the qi circulating inside her and the pale yellow robe that Lin Huan changed her in, she would really think that she is hallucinating.

Xun Ying sighed.

"Lin Huan really does as she pleases, eh?"

Xun Ying turned and walked back home. She sneaks in and finds herself in the garden. She casually walks to her courtyard when she detects that no one saw her sneak in. Entering her courtyard, it was empty. 

If it weren't for Xun Ying's reputation and her family's doting attitude towards her, they would think that Xun Ying was abandoned.

In fact, Xun Ying had asked her grandfather to let her be. Seeing servants walking around and greeting her was really weird, she still can't get used to it. Sighing in relief, she heads back into her room. Behind her in the shadows, a figure nodded at another and vanished.

"So?"

"Master, the young mistress left the house and strolled around for a bit before coming back home."

Tian Ming sighed.

Thankfully, Lin Huan had already known that Xun Ying would be followed so she had cast an illusion that Xun Ying had been walking around looking at the things that vendors sell. Xun Ying got drenched when someone accidentally splashed water on her, so she changed into a yellow robe that Xun Ying is wearing now.

The guard didn't tell Tian Ming about the fact that Xun Ying changed clothes since he knew that his master would flip the city inside out to find the culprit, no actually he would send people to work tirelessly to find the culprit. And it was an accident, the young mistress doesn't mind either so it's fine to leave it the way it is. 

And with that thought, the guard was dismissed and sent back to watch Xun Ying.

The guard standing outside in the shadows meets up with the other guards, giving an okay sign.

Xun Ying sat on the bed, meditating.

Since Lin Huan had put a spell on her, she didn't have to worry that others would detect her Qi. 

She circulates the Qi repeated, letting it flow naturally. Slowly experimenting, she was able to connect all three Dantians and activate them. She can feel that she is getting more Qi from her surroundings, when all Dantian was activated.

After an hour, she opens her eyes. She was surprised to see that the four spirits came out of the painting and stared at her while Baobao also joined in.

"..what?"

"You really are a monster." Qing Long said.

"Yes, very abnormal." Zhu Que agreed, nodded his head.

"Human, you are very interesting. Wait, are you even human?" Bai Hu started questioning.

"Your cultivating speed, the amount you gathered, and the elements you have are very extraordinary." Xuan Wu basically sums up as he seems to search for something on Xun Ying.
