Four years have passed since Ah Chun made her breakthrough to the Qi World's variant Qi Space. Ah Chun was now fourteen years old. She had finally blossomed into a young lady. With the effects of the medical baths that she had to take for the past five years her body was able to grow along with her actual age, allowing Ah Chun to have the appearance of a young fourteen-year-old girl. Ah Chun was very happy about this since she did not want to be stuck looking like a little kid thousands of years later. Though she would still need to wait until she looked a lot older before she got married she was at least happy about her current appearance. At least in some sense, she would now match her Ning Shen.
With all that said, today was a day Ah Chun was really looking forward to. After this day she would no longer need to take those painful medical baths. Although the pain had dumbed down at first, under her fearful gaze Fei Hong had changed the types of herbs that went into the bath three more times after that and with it came that unbearable pain once again!
As Ah Chun was waiting in her courtyard she was surprised to see Fei Hong come in with the herbs instead of one of the maids. But soon a feeling of dread fell over Ah Chun. "Any time Master comes in with the herbs, it means she was changing the types of herbs that went into the bath… This could only mean today's bath will be very painful!"
Seeing the frown on Ah Chun's face made Fei Hong chuckle. She knew this disciple of hers really hated these medical baths. Fei Hong was right Ah Chun really dreaded these baths more than anything. If it was not for the fact that they were strengthening her body and allowing her body to grow accordingly. She would not take one step into such a bath!
Fei Hong walked up to Ah Chun and sighed cause she knew that this disciple was looking forward to this day since it would be her last herbal bath but unfortunately… "Chun'er I know I originally stated before that you were supposed to end your baths today but since your body is reacting so well to them you will still need to undergo a series of treatments..."
Ah Chun's face froze she really wondered if the heavens were punishing her for surviving the heavenly tribulations four years ago… With a face full of grievances Ah Chun looked at Fei Hong and asked: "Master umm… How long will I have to continue the baths..."
"From my calculations, it will be three to four more years. Besides bringing in these herbs to make sure the effects are working I also came to tell you that you will be staying in the Heavenly Realms to cultivate from now on." She was going to be staying in the Heavenly Realms? What about Ning Shen and her mother!? Ah Chun was at a loss as to what to say. She knew she would be better off here cultivating but she still had friends and family in the Mortal Realms. Ah Chun was going to open her mouth to say something but was cut off by Fei Hong.
"Chun'er I know what you want to say. I did not come to this decision on my own. I talked with your mother about this before deciding. Between your talent and the uniqueness of your Qi Space realm, there is also the fact that your body is on the verge of being able to merge one hundred percent of my bloodline into it. This is one of the reasons why I am extending your medical baths by a few years. Today's medical bath will be a lot more potent than normal, but this is to allow you to be able to go back home for a month and visit your mother and family and of course when your bath treatments are all done you can go back any time to visit them." Fei Hong gave Ah Chun a warm smile.
"Master you mean I can go visit my mother!?" Just knowing she could go visit Mei Liling after such a long time made tears of joy flow down her cheeks.
"You silly girl what are you crying for come here." Fei Hong pulled Ah Chun into a hug. She knew her disciple had been missing home for quite some time now. "Chun'er by the time you are done inheriting my bloodline you will also become one of my kin. With inheriting my bloodline by one hundred percent you will be my direct descendant and I will no longer be the last of my kind... "
