Heaven arts

After returning to her courtyard she called for a servant..Someone..a young lady of around 10 entered.

Yes, master " hmm I will hand you a list go and gather those herbs and prepare for the medicinal bath I will take it now".

It was first time for the servant to directly be in presence of young miss , as she always had zhu mama around like mother hen protecting its chick.

Being so close to her and talking seemed something very different but being the first one to receive an order from her seemed to have elated her.

Yusheng was concentrated on writing the list so when she looked to the servant to pass the list she was suprised on seeing how happy the servant was. Internally she thought " is picking herb a good job why is she so happy?" coughing lightly she brought back attention of the servant girl.

Yes, master sorry master I..I.

Seeing that the girl was now very nervous, Yusheng spoke softly, no worries here take the list, what is your name?

Ning Xue master.

Hmm, how long have you been here in valley?

Has been 5 years master.

Xue was very nervous because it's the first time master was speaking to her though a child but her way of speaking and posture were like of an adult.

Okay, no need to be nervous. Xue take this herb list and prepare a bath for me. After two hours I will take another bath in regular medicinal pool also prepare for that.

Seeing that Yusheng was not angry at her, Xue's mood lifted and after bowing hurried to prepare the things.

Yusheng had already planned that she was going to cultivate in heaven arts. Heaven arts was one of the top best secret cultivation one could hope for. Passed around to each generation of liu, their family has been guarding and learning it.

But to master it, was almost impossible, because of the conditions one should meet was very harsh and that is why lost in track of time many doesn't even know such cultivation method exist.

To master it, one should have heavenly inner Qi, meaning one should have to refine her normal Qi to heavenly domain and to accomplish it, one needs to open all 180 meridian points in body, bones and muscles at early age below 4.

Because the refining is so hard and painful and sometime may lead to death as the age was very tender, none of the previous masters of valley were able to refine there heavenly Qi thus unable to master heaven arts.

But Yusheng wanted to surpass her ancestors, she had the methods and herbs to support her, now she was just lacking hard work. She wanted to start refining her Qi and bones from this age unlike her predecessor who only started after 5.

As she was deep in her thoughts Xue entered to inform that the bath has been prepared.

Yusheng picked fresh pair of clothes and started to walk towards the bath, just behind her sleeping quarter was another courtyard where was a medicine pool.
