Initial Core Cultivator

Anji felt feverish. One moment, she felt hot. The next, she was shivering. It was only late summer with the early signs of autumn. She did not understand why she had suddenly fallen sick. However, staying indoors did not help. Her shifu had taken her outside and started a cold bath for her while tossing sticks into a campfire nearby. Anji was sitting in the wooden tub with her clothes on and told to meditate while her teacher occasionally tossed in the sticks to keep the fire going.

"Don't stop," Yan Ping warned, tossing another stick into the fire and adding more ice to the tub. "Keep circulating your energy through all your meridians and open that last seal to your cultivation core. I sent your bodyguard to inform your father. He should be here soon."

As soon as she said that, Zhao Mingfeng materialised at the main gate using a teleportation scroll. One scroll was easily worth a large gold ingot. However, the man ripped it without hesitation to save time.
