SOLO REFINEMENT

The next morning as the siblings had just finished breakfast, a few of the keepers arrived in their courtyard. Lady Wei stepped forward first, her silver robes catching the realm's perpetual twilight. "Today, you train separately," she announced, her serene voice carrying easily across the courtyard. "Each keeper will focus on refining your individual talents." Her gaze settled on Li Hua. "Come with me."

As Li Wei departed with Lady He and Li Hao with Old Tang, Li Hua followed Lady Wei through winding paths. They emerged in a secluded garden where reality felt thinner, more malleable. Ethereal flowers bloomed in shifting shades of silver and shadow—their subtle gradients a rare break from the Sixth Realm's stark monochrome.

In the quiet glade bordered by ghostly trees, the rustling leaves transmitted faint currents of essence, swirling through the air like threads of a living tapestry. Lady Wei guided Li Hua through an intricate variation of the Breath of the World.
