Returning to the Peak of the Red Pass Mountain should have only taken around a week or two, yet Yi Ling wasn't in a hurry.
At this time, she proceeded to practice her combat abilities with her son Minzhe and Qianru.
Yi Ling asked the two to take turns with her. She wanted to do this to grasp her own abilities better. First, to increase her ability to detect the enemies' movements and second, to familiarize herself with her own strength.
Each day, they would find a secluded spot in the forest, away from any distractions. Yi Ling would close her eyes, centering herself, while Minzhe and Qianru prepared to spar with her. The exercises were intense, pushing Yi Ling to her limits. She focused on sensing their auras and predicting their moves, honing her instincts and reactions.
